Whoa!
Adam Curry.
John C. Devorah.
It's Thursday, August 31st, 2023.
This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media Assassination Episode 1586.
This is no agenda.
There's a war on Europe and we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number 6 in the morning everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where next level privacy is just a click away.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
Wait, I want some of that next-level privacy.
Where can I get some?
Is that on Graphene OS?
Just a click away!
Just a click away?
Is it Graphene OS?
Is that where you get next-level privacy?
No, that message actually came up on Firefox.
Oh, thanks Firefox.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Man, it's beautiful here.
It's finally cooled down.
We're in the mid-90s.
We're good.
We're good to go.
There was like 80 here yesterday.
It was just like horrible.
Oh, for you guys.
Yeah, well you have no air conditioning there, so you're not used to that.
It's bad for you.
It's bad for you people.
It's bad.
Oh man, there's so much fun stuff going on.
I mean, at least for the show.
I mean, you know, not fun for a lot of people involved, but...
Like what?
Oh, I mean, where do I even start?
We have another coup in Africa?
Oh yeah, I've got some Gabon clips.
It's not a good idea to start with Africa.
And by the way... That turns people off.
People are like, oh, Africa.
Oh, I don't want to listen to this podcast.
Again, it's oil and uranium by coincidence.
Well... And France.
Yes, France.
This is my... You know what?
Should we do it?
Do you have a... How many clips do you have?
I actually have two competing clips.
Okay.
They're both rundowns.
They're both rundowns.
I think they're interesting.
I am stunned that our listeners, audience, and producers... Is that you?
No.
Oh no, it's me.
Hold on a second.
What do you have?
What's going on?
I got a... Oh no!
Windows Update!
Restart!
Oh no!
Oh no!
So now it says, restart now.
I'll try to not click on that by accident.
No, no, don't do that.
You can do restart now.
Pick a time.
Pick a time.
And snooze.
Snooze it!
Snooze!
Don't pick a time.
Snooze.
That's been snoozed.
You know what?
I'll actually lead us in.
I'll lead into your clips with Douchebag Doug.
Uh, on France 24.
Oh, you can't beat Douchebag Doug.
You can't beat Douchebag Doug.
You're right.
He's countered them.
There's, uh, he says there's eight or nine coups.
I think it's actually ten, but, uh, let's get a little overview.
For someone tuning in, if they haven't, you know, gone to sleep with their, their map of Africa in front of them, they're like, what is going- Oh yeah, oh John, did you go to sleep with your map of Africa in front of you like Douchebag Doug tells you to do?
I mean, they tell you to do that, which is actually not a bad idea, to be honest.
For someone tuning in, if they haven't, you know, gone to sleep with their map of Africa in front of them, they're like, what is going on here?
Everyone in the world is like, what is going on in Gabon?
I'm so interested.
This is the problem with media.
Nobody cares!
Nobody!
Nobody cares at all!
There's not a single report on American television I could find of any substance about what's been happening in Africa.
This is now coup number 10!
Is this endemic?
Is this some sort of coup contagion?
We have seen several very recently, right?
I think it's important to sort of pick them apart because, you know, otherwise it becomes this tired old cliche.
Another African nation with beleaguered bad governance having a coup.
We have seen several very recently.
Right.
Burkina Faso.
Right.
Mali, which were clearly military juntas taking over.
Why it had to do with the fight against insurgencies.
Doug has got to be cashing checks from intelligence agencies left and right.
He's just like, hey, tell them it's just some juntas because of ISIS, or tell them something, Doug.
Do whatever.
Here's your check.
Mainly sort of this grievance against what they saw as incompetent leadership not effectively battling the jihadist insurgents.
There it is.
We can do a better job.
We're stepping in.
Sudan was also a slightly separate case, right?
How does that even work?
How does it even work when you say people are dissatisfied with the leadership of African nations because they're not doing enough against ISIS?
But wouldn't that be the military doing that already?
And so the military's like, well you're not letting us kill enough of them?
The first thing that comes to mind when he says that is the same thing you just said.
We could do a better job.
You're supposed to be doing the job now!
We can do a better job, we're stepping in.
Sudan was also a slightly separate case, right?
There's an enraging ongoing civil war, if you will, between two vying leaders there, and that's more of an... No, it's between two factions of military, not leaders, Doug.
...military conflict.
Not so much about jihadist insurgency, but about vying clans and factions within the military.
So, and Niger, we know, once again, sort of cues to that jihadist insurgency, military hunters saying, we can do this fight better, we have the people's interests at heart.
Gabon is a separate case in the sense that we've had, yes, a string of coups.
In Gabon, it literally is squarely aimed at what the coup leaders see as the absolute incompetence, the massive fraud, the allegations of corruption against what has become essentially a ruling dynasty, a clan in this country.
He kind of skips over the entire election fraud that's being claimed, and that once again, it's the military who's stepping in.
He kind of just skirts around that.
The military breaks in during the celebration of this, you know, this son of the sun, and says, hey, you know, this was a scam.
This was, you had, what they call it, shortened results, you know, like, oh, we had preliminary results, and you just said we won, and no, no, we're stepping in.
The country has been independent from France since 1960, right?
But it has essentially been led for all but seven of those years by one family, the Bongo dynasty.
First by the father, and since 2009 by the son, who had been, just until yesterday, elected to a third term.
And it's against him.
OK.
All right.
So there you go.
Thanks, Doug.
All right.
Now we go to your clips.
You know, the funny thing is, the funny thing is, is that Doug Works for France 24 and you'd think... You'd think he'd know exactly why.
Why this is going down.
Because France is all up to their ears in this.
Oh crap.
Now let me play my second clip from Al Jazeera because this will just strengthen it for you.
They have a term.
They have a term.
Well the situation there in Gabon.
This is Al Jazeera by the way.
It marks the 10th coup or attempted takeover in West and Central Africa in the last three years.
Al Jazeera is the only one being honest about it.
Regional leaders are still trying to negotiate a return to democracy in Niger after last month's coup there.
Burkina Faso saw two coups last Last year, in the second instance, Captain Ibrahim Traore forced out his own military colleague last September.
In 2021, Guinean soldiers took power from President Alfa Conde, who was seeking a controversial third term.
And Mali has also seen two coups since 2020, both of them orchestrated by the current leader, Assimi Goita.
Hmm, what could be the common denominator amongst all these countries?
Ahmed Idris joins us now live from Miami.
That's the capital of Niger, where the last military coup took place just last month.
And Ahmed, we're hearing some people already calling this a francophone spring.
The francophone spring!
Alright, over to you, over to your clips.
Great term.
Yes.
All right, well, I've got two competing clips trying to say the same thing.
One's from, and this today is my twice, well, no, once every two months, Democracy Now!
Bonanza.
You're going to hit that one first?
Well, let's start with NTD, the competitor.
Let's hit that one first and then go to Democracy Now!
This is MTD.
Gabon's President Ali Bongo, whose family have ruled the country for 56 years, was named winner of a presidential election today, only for military officers to appear on television minutes later to announce that they had seized power.
David Doyle reports.
Crowds cheered the military in Gabon on Wednesday after a group of senior officers claimed to have seized power.
That television announcement came just minutes after incumbent President Ali Bongo had been announced the winner of a recent election.
The officers, who said they represented all Gabonese security and defence forces, said they had decided to defend peace by putting an end to the current regime.
The general elections of August 26, 2023, as well as the truncated results, are cancelled.
The borders are closed until further notice.
No one really explains this, the truncated.
Was the truncated alerts, was that because they just said, oh, we win?
Without even counting all the votes?
Yeah, pretty much.
What's the point?
You know the results.
The borders are closed.
What other country does that sound like?
I'm trying to think.
What other country does the media call the elections?
Arizona.
Oh yeah, that's right.
The borders are closed until further notice.
All institutions of the Republic are dissolved.
And I love that they're dissolving the institutions.
We need one of these.
Bongo's family has ruled oil producing but poor Gabon for more than half a century.
His detractors say he has done little to channel the country's oil wealth towards the population, a third of whom live in poverty.
There was no immediate comment from Gabon's government and no immediate reports on Bongo's whereabouts.
He'd been announced the winner of a third term with nearly two-thirds of the vote.
But there were concerns over the transparency of the electoral process amid a lack of international observers as well as an internet blackout and nighttime curfew after the poll.
The military takeover, if successful, will be West and Central Africa's eighth coup since 2020.
No one can make up their mind.
Eight, nine, ten.
We've lost count.
Well, it depends on when you're going to start counting.
If they say since 2020... Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
That's one number, and if you go back just a few more years, it goes up, and it keeps going up.
Hold on a second.
Okay, so that was... Warning.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Amy Goodman clip inbound.
I mean, you telegraphed it, so... So, here is another... Now, this one, I think, is a...
Since they come from a perspective, from the Middle Eastern perspective, because I believe it's Qatar that pays the bills of the democracy now, or one of those places, and Bahrain, one of them.
And so this is the same, almost exactly the same, except there's some details they add.
Soldiers in Gabon declared they're seizing power and nullifying recent elections as they took to national television earlier today.
The general elections of August 26, 2023, as well as the truncated results, are cancelled.
The borders are closed until further notice.
All institutions of the Republic are dissolved.
Earlier in the day, Gabon's National Election Authority announced President Ali Bango-Ondimba has been re-elected for a third term in Saturday's election, which was marred by delays and decried by opposition leader Albert Ando-Ossa as a fraud.
Bongo, who's reportedly being held under house arrest, has already served two seven-year terms.
His family has been in power for over half a century.
Critics accuse Bongo of not using the West African nation's oil and natural resource wealth to improve the lives of one-third of the population living in poverty.
The French oil giant Total Energies is Gabon's main distributor of petroleum products.
Gabon freed itself from French rule in 1960.
As soldiers drove through the capital, Libreville, residents took to the streets to cheer them on.
If successful, it would be the eighth coup in West Africa and Central Africa since 2020.
Interesting that she used the same stat since 2020.
Yeah, I find that interesting since there's a disparate operation, to say the least.
This is francophony.
But you have this Totaloist really running the country, obviously.
Well, so this is the obvious conclusion.
Regardless of who is doing this, how it's happening, it certainly seems coordinated where we have the military of all these Francophonie countries committing coups.
Rousting the French!
Well, no, but listen.
We already blew up the pipelines.
We've screwed Germany.
We convinced them to shut down their nuclear plants.
They're no longer a positive producing country.
What's the only other country in Europe that we need to shut down with their energy, with their resources?
It's France!
This is an attack on Europe!
It can only be us!
Well, I'm still not unconvinced that it's us and the Russians together pulling this off.
And of course, the interesting factoid that came up, and I don't have a clip, but I'm going to probably write it up, is that we're actually pumping more oil now Than we did during the Trump administration.
I know, I know.
I saw this as well.
I was like, what?
And there's more licenses going?
It's really interesting.
Yeah, so it's a scam.
It's a scam.
I didn't say nothing.
You can say it.
It's a scam.
It's a scam.
So there's something phony baloney about the whole Biden policies.
And they're pumping oil like it's no tomorrow.
The gas prices are high.
But by the way, I'm not even bothering to put in the red book.
Gas prices at the pump at the moment are ridiculously high and they're blaming it on one refinery, oh it went down and blah, it's bullcrap.
Climate change.
They're storing the gas, they're just, they're gouging us, which they like to do when they can, and believe me, the day after, what's the next holiday, Labor Day?
Yeah, Labor Day is Monday.
Yeah, when Labor Day comes and goes, the prices of gasoline will plummet and Biden will take credit for it.
The day after Labor Day?
Wouldn't it be good to do it just before the Labor Day holiday?
Enjoy your holiday, everybody!
No, I've said they're going to plummet.
I know.
Why would you do it before the holiday?
To look good.
Oh, please.
What am I saying?
What am I saying?
I need to go whip myself.
I completely blew the scam.
I'm sorry.
The jury will disregard that remark.
That was very bad of me.
Of course we keep it going through the Labor Day holiday.
But we're still, there's, and we have to go into climate change because every, right now, anything government does that is, that they mess up, which is everything, it's climate change.
It's like, it doesn't matter what happened, climate change.
Oh, oh, oh, you know, this, what's happening in Africa, climate change.
Everything is climate change.
I'm sorry, Maui fire, climate change.
Grease fire, climate change.
Gasoline prices, climate change.
White supremacists killing black people in America, climate change.
Everything's climate change.
And there is on deck for Labor Day, starting Labor Day, I think September 4th, and this is where we really shine.
Hey, what's your birthday by the way?
Sunday, Sunday, this Sunday.
September 3rd.
Is this Sunday?
Yes.
It was the 3rd of September.
That date I'll always remember.
Yes, I will.
Right.
Because it's the day.
All right.
So they're still running climate change bullcrap in Africa.
And they've got this guy, Joseph Nganga.
Joseph Nganga, and he's in Kenya.
Listen to this guy.
Joseph Nganga joined the Rockefeller Foundation in 2020 as executive director.
Power and climate Africa.
Before joining Rockefeller, Joseph co-founded and grew ResponsAbility Renewable Energy Holdings to a $121 million company that builds, owns, and operates renewable energy projects across Sub-Saharan Africa.
He graduated with a liberal arts degree from Queen's University of Charlotte.
The summit is looking, and it's on September 4th to the 6th, and it also partners with the Africa Climate Week, also happening during the same week into the 9th of September.
4th to the 6th, and it also partners with the Africa Climate Week, also happening during the same week into the 9th of September.
And the mission of this summit is really to address climate in the context of a green growth approach for Africa.
So it's a climate-positive narrative on how Africa will develop while addressing the challenges and the opportunities of climate change.
And the emphasis is on a new global financial architecture that really emphasizes capital that unlocks the potential of the continent from renewable energy to green minerals and manufacturing to nature and to agriculture in a way that drives development on the continent while also providing solutions to the world from a climate perspective.
When you talk about the outcomes of climate change, COP 27.
Yes, the discussions on loss and damage need to go further, the amount of money required.
And even before that, the 100 billion committed, while important, is hardly sufficient for the quanta of money required to address the climate crisis.
And so what we're hoping to address in the Nairobi summit is a clear voice from the continent offering solutions from what the continent has to offer.
But requiring that the world engages in a fair agreement, sharing of technology, to unlock these resources on the continent.
Unlock the resources.
Money.
Just money.
This is Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Clinton Health Initiative.
The elites are all over here doing climate finance.
And meanwhile, some smart people are bringing down Europe.
Get out of Europe while you can, people.
It's the new California.
So, climate change is to blame for everything.
Climate change.
Climate change.
Oh!
Oh!
Turbulence!
Well, 11 people had to be hospitalized after severe turbulence on a Delta flight to Atlanta.
The flight, coming from Milan, Italy, landed safely.
165 people were on board, but none of those injuries considered life-threatening.
That turbulence, though, hit just as the plane approached Atlanta.
And you know this so they're a little confused like just as the plane approached Atlanta it was on its approach it was going in the new climate change regulated descent profile which means you do not go step by step and then you know to avoid turbulent areas or what they're calling clean air turbulence.
We should have a reference point for the show you explained this in great detail you had it was a great explanation and to just to summarize instead of going around the turbulence now you have to go through it whether you like it or not.
And we witnessed this on our way back from Italy, coincidental, on the KLM City Hopper.
And even Tina noticed, and I don't think she was thinking of it the way we do, she said, this is a very weird descent we're going through.
We've been descending forever.
I said, yeah, because normally you wouldn't notice it back in the old days before climate change.
It's the latest case of severe turbulence for air travelers.
couple thousand feet, go at that level.
The turbulence is behind us, drop down another couple thousand feet.
Any more turbulence?
No, go drop.
No, now they're just going, because, you know, then they can retard the engines, a perfect use of the word retard, retard the engines, and then basically glide to save the earth and get some people in the hospital.
It's the latest case of severe turbulence for air travelers.
14 people injured on this Delta flight to Atlanta from Milan, Italy.
We're going to have some paramedics coming on board to hand.
The woman in the L next to me flew up and hit the overhead bin.
just minutes before landing.
I honestly thought we were crashing.
One passenger appeared to suffer a head injury, some taken off the plane on stretchers.
The woman in the aisle next to me flew up and hit the overhead bin.
Everyone's stuff kind of just flew out of the seats.
FAA data shows an increase in turbulence-related injuries, and a recent British study found a 55% increase in recent decades of severe clear air turbulence on a North Atlantic route.
Researchers citing climate change as a factor, attributing changes in wind speed to warmer air.
Our aviation expert has this takeaway for travelers.
Please keep your seatbelt fastened when you're in your seat, and minimize walking around the cabin.
In response to the Delta incident, the airline thanked the first responders who met the plane and provided medical attention.
Yeah, climate change, of course, climate change.
Now, again, government servants, slaves of the people, Who are screwing up royally, are blaming everything on climate change.
And now, the governor of Hawaii, he's really taken it to the extreme.
He's, he's, oh, this is so horrible what happened.
It has nothing to do with us being incompetent.
Certainly doesn't have anything to do with direct energy weapons, but nothing to do with us being incompetent.
It's climate change!
And we have new terms!
Truth be told, this was a natural disaster.
The fire occurred, God knows the specific details of the beginning, and we'll try to find that out, but in an era of extreme climate, Do you notice how he just kind of walks over that?
The fire started... We'll figure that out.
The specific details of the beginning.
We'll try to find that out.
Don't worry about the specific details of the beginning.
It's climate change.
In the era of extreme climate... Oh, there you go.
Thank you.
When you have a storm with 81 mile per hour winds that create a fire hurricane... Fire hurricane!
Sorry.
We have to acknowledge that.
Sorry.
No, I didn't do that.
That was a mistake.
I didn't mean that.
It's not Clip of the Day, and I cut it off.
No, it's not.
And I cut it off.
It was a mistake.
It was a slip of the finger.
It seemed to be at the ready.
I thought I was actually hitting the climate change, but it was the wrong pad.
I'm sorry, it's the same color.
We have to acknowledge that we are in a different world now, and that is why you're seeing that kind of fire.
Just so you know, we're in a different world right now.
I'm not incompetent.
We're not incompetent with, you know, turning the water off, or blocking people's access roads to get out, or, let me see what else... Not turning the power off.
Not turning the power off, or not letting the sirens go.
We're in a different world now.
You've got to understand this.
Well, actually, all those things, not turning the water on, not turning the power off, not sounding the alarm, is all because of climate change.
It's all climate change measures, yes, of course.
The winds, and I've heard this from the survivors.
Bob, I heard this from the survivors.
I haven't heard a single survivor say this, Josh.
Roared that fire, paints them faster than their cars could drive in some cases.
It was a miracle that people got to safety.
But like I said, we will never make an excuse.
We will find better ways to protect people.
We'll never make an excuse like fire a hurricane.
He just is making excuse after excuse.
There's a lot, there's a lot of WJZBJZ going on.
I mean, it's crazy.
Let's continue.
What did you just say?
There's a lot of WJBJZ going on.
What does that mean?
What you say, being yourself.
Oh.
But like I said, we will never make an excuse.
We will find better ways to protect people.
But I hope it will be a global conversation about the reality on the ground because people can be saved if we're better.
Oh, a global conversation.
Alright, so that was MSNBC.
I want to shame this guy a little more because he is... He can't even say, I'm sorry.
I mean, I haven't even heard him say it once.
Even like, I'm sorry it happened.
You don't have to...
Do not let these people get away with this.
They need to be fired and removed from their positions, and people need to stand up and put new people in.
You've got to get these failed servants out.
This is now CNN.
What we are really uncovering is what the world needs to be aware of.
Oh, be aware!
Be aware, world!
Which is, in this case, in this case, for the first time ever in Hawaii.
First time ever!
What are the chances?
First time ever!
We had essentially a fire hurricane.
It's the- I mean, it's the first time ever we had a fire- I mean, did you know that this was- this is- this should- it won for the record books!
Fire hurricane!
Let me see- have we ever heard of a fire hurricane before?
Well, I did a little research while you were playing this idiot.
Which is to say a hurricane that had just passed left us with 60 to 81 mile per hour winds.
Those winds fanned a very hot flame across a very dry planet, in this case part of Hawaii.
Planet?
So the fire itself moved... How did the fire start, Josh?
Between 60 and 81 miles per hour across that part of the community, which meant that it overwhelmed the fire trucks that were there.
It overwhelmed cars.
It overwhelmed people.
It destroyed the infrastructure, the pipes and the wires so quickly that the typical warnings, the warnings that we normally use on the Internet and through cell phones, they became immobilized.
Wow, this is the biggest lie ever.
The biggest.
The fire started way before any of this fire hurricane took place.
Now he's saying, well, you know, it took out all the wires.
It took out the water.
The fire hurricane took out the water.
You just heard him say that.
He didn't have water because the fire hurricane burned the water.
And with fire that was upwards of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, it destroyed infrastructure so rapidly that nobody could get in.
And I want to tell the world that... No, no one could get out either!
I'm not making this political.
There is a great challenge with a climate affected world.
It is drier, it's hotter, we all know that.
From 1953 to 2003, we had six fire emergencies.
In this month, we've had six fire emergencies in Hawaii.
Must be climate change!
So, we just want people to be realistic and know that they're going to have to increase fire response.
They're going to have to increase modalities of alert.
These are the lessons we're learning.
How about brush control?
And, yes, I'll hold anyone accountable that made human error.
I can't say at this point what the scope of that is.
That's why we have independent investigators and people to review this.
Mostly so we can learn to share with the world.
Oh, we're going to get a Mueller report from the independent investigators?
I will hold anybody responsible.
Resign, my friend.
Resign because you will be driven out, tar and feathered, when people really figure out the truth.
Here's a closing statement from this jibmoke.
And you make such a good point because at this hour... Oh, at this hour!
John, how are you at this hour?
What are you feeling at this hour?
Is everything okay with you at this hour?
A little indigestion, maybe.
And you make such a good point, because at this hour, there are wildfires raging everywhere from Canada to Greece and beyond.
What does that firefighting prevention look like?
As you know, there are so many jurisdictions that are understaffed in firefighting, but as you say, not prepared for the catastrophic events that have just never happened before.
They're just papering over the whole catalyst for this.
The whole issue of land management, brush management, poor electrical infrastructure because they put money into the future of DC grid or whatever they were planning on doing.
We're just moving beyond that into fires happen, hurricane fires make it worse.
These fires Climate change combined with not enough resources in... Oh, we need more money!
Almost every corner of the world will mean that we will have to prepare ourselves to deal with the impact of these super storms and the potential risks to our people.
Super storms!
Oh no!
An industry will grow that will revolve around new technologies to alert people.
New technologies to alert people?
You mean like pushing a button and honking a horn?
Exactly.
Here, we've got a new technology for you.
Fire!
Fire!
...satellite technology, because if we had satellite phones... Oh, if we had satellite phones!
Oh, if only we had satellite phones.
Everybody needs a satellite phone.
Maui, everyone's gonna get an iPhone with satellite technology.
If only we had that, we would have saved everybody.
...satellite technology, because if we had satellite phones all over... How about ham radio, people?
There you go!
I'd like technology, because if we had had satellite phones all over Lahaina, we would have been able to get the alert and people would have shared it amongst their neighbors.
No, the guy didn't send the alert out.
We didn't forget.
He said, no, no, no, no.
Because if I sent that alert out, people would have walked into the fire.
Because, you know, you're Hawaiian.
You're Hawaiians, you're stupid.
You know, like, oh no, I hear a siren.
Let me think, is it North Korea shooting a missile?
Is it a tsunami?
I think I'll walk toward the fire.
That's one of many, many things that could be done.
And then there'll have to be a better approach to water.
Oh yes, like not turning it off.
Here's an approach we suggest at the NOAA Gender Show.
Coastal areas, island states, we're the most isolated landmass in the world.
We're going to have... You're surrounded by water?
Probably have to really lean heavily into technologies that produce extra water.
That requires energy and energy research.
Ah, climate change money!
The whole world is going to have to change its approach if it wants to prevent these incidents from happening.
Okay, well, we already brought it up.
This is happening everywhere.
And, of course, Greece now has the largest fire ever in recorded EU history.
Ever.
Ever.
It's amazing.
The EU spokeshole had to come out and talk about it.
But then listen to France 24's on-the-spot Greek lady reporter.
Most notably in Greece's Alexandroupolis region, we are facing the largest wildfire ever recorded in the EU.
In this context, we have mobilized 12 aircraft from our rescue fleet, together with over 400 firefighters and 60 vehicles.
For more, let's go to Greece and correspondent Natalie Savarakis.
Greece is a country that takes fire prevention seriously, yet there are arrests and accusations of arson.
Yes, and this has been since... Alright, so he's saying, he's actually, he's asking a very good question.
He's saying, wait a minute, you know, I mean these fires, there's a lot of talk about arson.
In fact, wasn't it 79 people they arrested?
That's the news, I think.
78 or 79 people... I didn't know it was that many.
Let me just check for a second.
Grease, fires, arrests... Yeah, if you have a bunch of arsonists in your population setting the place on fire every which way... Grease, wildfires, 79 people arrested for arson.
BBC News.
So it's probably... It sounds like a...
Arsonists!
Well, arsonists, but it sounds like they're organized.
Now you're talking.
Let's see how we can talk around that.
Yet there are arrests and accusations of arson.
Yes, and this has been since 2007.
This has been the largest recorded fire in Greece.
Ah, talking point.
Well, what are we going to do?
People, wait a minute, wait a minute.
these massive fires with a lot of skepticism and to how much of it is actually climate change.
Well, what are we going to do?
People, wait a minute, wait a minute.
People are skeptical about the climate change message?
Let me think.
You've got almost 80 arsonists lighting your whole area on fire and then you're blaming it on climate change instead of blaming it on the arsonists?
And they're skeptical?
Let's hear how this lady weasels her way out.
Of dryness as well, or actually arson, because sometimes what we see following these big blazes are constructions or who else could there be to blame?
And that is the big question.
And of course, in the criticism level against Prime Minister Mito Daiki, he's been criticised of lack of coordination, lack of preparation, lack of personnel, lack of equipment, you know.
He's responding, yes, on the one hand, there is climate change.
which has been extreme this year, and we've been unable to deal with it.
And he's actually vowed to reforest all burned areas, which is a pretty grand statement there coming from a Greek leader because we haven't really seen such a massive scale of forestation in Greece.
But also he's pointed the finger to arsonists and there has been a Supreme Court judge that's ordered an investigation to look into this.
Now we're... Wait a minute!
79 people have been arrested and all the France lady, Greece lady has to say is there's going to be an investigation into this?
She mentioned earlier in her little tirade there where she's humming a hummina.
That it's funny how after there's this big fire, construction takes place and they build a big building or something.
This is a cheap way to clear areas!
But also he's pointed the finger to arsonists and there has been a Supreme Court judge that's ordered an investigation to look into this.
Now, we're very curious, of course, Greece to see what results will come back, because the big question mark, of course, is who can benefit from such an arson?
Because this cannot only be just a pyrobaniac to just set some fire.
So a big question marks there, then an investigation will seek to answer.
Big question marks there.
Oh, big question marks.
We're not sure.
It's climate change, but big question marks about some arson.
I don't really know.
I don't know.
Let's talk about a non-fire event in the United States.
CBS's Major Garrett brings it.
Extreme weather events are more frequent and more costly than ever.
Well, it must be climate change!
That is not a political statement.
It's a researchable fact.
It's not a poli... Did you hear that lady?
Who was it said... No, that was Josh Green, also said, I'm not saying this to be political.
This is all the same talking point.
This is the new talking point.
This is not politics, people.
Do you remember the governor saying that?
Yeah, everybody says it.
There was a fire in the United States, which has a funny remark.
Play this clip.
This is Louisiana's fire.
Here in the United States, wildfires in southwestern Louisiana killed two people and scorched roughly 60,000 acres as of Tuesday.
Governor John Bel Edwards said the fires are the worst Louisiana has experienced since at least the Second World War amidst a record-breaking drought.
Okay, was there a record-breaking drought after the Second World War?
She makes it very unclear.
But if it happened after the Second World War, and now it happened again... It's not climate change.
It's not climate change!
It's climate return to World War II times.
Let's get back to Major Garrett.
Extreme weather events are more frequent and more costly than ever.
That is not a political statement.
It's a researchable fact.
Researchable fact?
No!
It's not true.
We just heard a researchable fact that Louisiana fire was the worst since 1946.
It's not the worst ever.
It's for a while.
For the first six months of this year, insured losses to extreme weather events exceeded $34 billion.
This is so state of fear, Michael Crichton's state of fear.
Now, in Michael Crichton's state of fear, and he died a few years after he wrote that book, and he was a staunch climate denialist.
It was such a parallel to what we're living in now, where the elites would fly around in their jets and they would say, oh, we've all got to do things to stop climate change.
And meanwhile, they had a group up in the North Pole or the Arctic, can't remember where it was, and they were placing explosive charges to blow off this huge chunk of ice.
And that would be the proof that climate change was real.
This is a much easier way of doing it.
Just... It's a hot, warm summer.
It's called summer.
Let's torch the place.
And then, you know, pretend like we'll have an investigation into the arsonists.
It seems logical to me.
That is the highest amount ever recorded in a six-month period in America.
In a six-month period?
Wow.
The amount I just gave you, $34 billion, does not account for damages in Maui from a wildfire fueled in part by drought and winds from Hurricane Dora.
It does not account for Hurricane Edalia that is now churning through Georgia but has already brought historic storm surge and attended damage to parts of Big Bend, Florida.
If you thought this was a matter of concern only for those in the path of extreme weather events, think again.
Across the country, insurance companies are raising property insurance rates to compensate for losses suffered to weather events and losses that are sure to come.
The economics of extreme weather insurance are, in a word, ugly.
Since January of 2022, 31 states have seen double-digit rate increases on property insurance.
In six states, those increases were between 20% and 30%.
This is called the climate change surcharge.
It's starting to show up on people's insurance policies, on their homeowner's policies.
Yeah, it's a gouge.
Yeah, it's a scam, exactly.
Scam.
While you're doing this, I'm going to take a quick look and see what people take.
Give me the name of one insurance company.
Progressive.
Progressive, okay.
I mean, it's Libtard right in the title.
Progressive.
Come on.
That's got to be the guys.
Do they have climate change surcharges?
No, I'm not looking at that.
Oh, okay.
I want to see how much money they made.
Are they all losing their ass?
Oh, okay.
Well, you look at that, and then I will play my WJZ BJZ clip of the day.
So this is the Dutch saying, wat je zegt ben jezelf.
What you say of others, you are yourself.
What you say of others, you are yourself.
It's only a minute, but this is John Kerry.
He is our current climate czar.
And this is him speaking in Scotland about the climate denialists.
That would be you and I, John.
No, I'm not a climate denialist.
I believe there is a climate.
Man-made climate change deniers.
And who see through this obvious scam, and criminal scam I dare say, because it looks like fires are being set and purposely not being put out.
And then all of a sudden there's construction.
So, here he is going to accuse us of what he is guilty of himself, and it's a doozy.
Without facts, or economics on their side, they flatly deny what is happening to our planet, and what we must do to save it.
They incite a movement against what they falsely label climate change fanaticism, as they conveniently forget that the dictionary definition of a cult is the dismissal of facts in devotion to a lie.
Wow.
Maybe you, Kerry?
And while they refuse to accept the facts behind increasingly obvious damages, which the First Minister listed, they lash out at the truth-tellers instead, and label indisputable evidence as hysteria.
They compound the already difficult challenge of the climate crisis by promising to do more of exactly what created this crisis in the first place.
Exactly what you're doing!
Crisis!
So now, humanity Is inexorably threatened by humanity itself.
Be afraid of your own selves, people!
You are the problem!
By those seducing people into buying into a completely fictitious alternative reality where we don't need to act and we don't even need to care.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Alright, here we go.
Just explained himself.
Progressive.
Stock price $133.
Revenue?
Yeah.
$15 billion up.
33%.
Get that number by the way.
33.
Magic number.
33.3% up.
Hold on baby.
That's the magic number.
Yeah.
No scam here.
It's the magic number.
Don't look over here.
No scam here.
It's the magic number.
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see here.
Ooh, look at that.
All right, 33.
Yes, a lot of 33s.
Net income is up 163%.
Diluted EPS is up, earnings per share is up 160%.
Net profit margins up 147%.
Operating incomes up 244%.
This is bullcrap.
160 percent net profit margins up 147 percent operating incomes up 244 percent this is bull crap time to raise the prices because we can't afford to insure everybody anymore yeah it's a lie That's just a lie.
It's a lie.
Now, the big lie, and I got some Holland news that ties into this, this is where the rubber meets the road, or doesn't meet the road, as the ULEZ in London, the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which were these little pockets of London, ULEZ, where they had the cameras and we've got the blades.
The Blade Runners out there trying to bring the cameras down, well forget about it.
Instead of trying to maintain little pockets of London where you get, where you have to, I think it's 12, 12 pounds or something if you want to drive in that area during the day.
You know what?
Screw you people!
London has a new title under its belt.
The city is now the largest area in the world with a price on pollution.
In a bid to clean up London's air, the ultra-low emission zone scheme has expanded to encompass the entire capital.
Motorists driving anywhere within it, with vehicles that do not meet the standards, will face a charge of £12.50, taking road rage to a whole new level.
The plan was given the green light nine months ago, yet up to 780,000 motorists in London are still scrambling to sell cars which do not meet minimum emissions standards.
In the last six months, almost 2 million vehicles have changed hands, and that's up by over 70,000 in the same period in 2022.
We need to start looking at the second-hand vehicle market.
So you hear now that people are like, oh crap, I have the wrong car.
It's a polluting car.
It's a dirty, dirty, dirty car.
I need to get a new car.
I should probably get an electric vehicle because that's what they're telling me, they buy an electric vehicle.
Do you know the biggest problem with the electric vehicle market?
There's no second-hand market.
Nobody in their right mind will buy a second-hand EV.
No, it costs more to replace the battery than the car's worth.
So there's no second-hand market.
And now, remember the Netherlands, I was talking to Taxi Eric about the problem with the electrical grid, can't handle the amount of EVs that are now charging at night.
And boom, right on cue, the news is now, Having your own car, your own car, in the near future is not guaranteed.
Because not everybody can have an electric vehicle.
You certainly can't have an internal combustion engine vehicle.
But we can, so you're gonna have to share.
You have to share your car now.
Oh yeah, share your car.
And all of this is being fueled by the media and the Columbia School, Journalism School, has an event.
Climate Change is Everything, Creating a Blueprint for Media Transformation.
This is coming up on September 21st and 22nd.
It's called Creating a Blueprint for Media Transformation at the Columbia Journalism School and I will tell you a little bit about the event.
Reporters, editors, and news executives from Agence France-Presse, the Associated Press, CBS News, Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism, France Télévisions, The Guardian, South Florida's NBC6, Now This, Telemundo Time, Times of India, and The Weather Channel, among many other outlets, large and small, will join with hundreds of colleagues to chart a course for tackling the climate story in ways that drive attention and impact while highlighting solutions and justice.
They have a couple of bullet points.
Would you like to hear the bullet points?
Of course.
Bullet point one.
If you go to this, and I think every newsroom that respects itself will send at least one representative to learn what the new blueprint is for news.
Point 1.
Hear from newsrooms innovating to meet the moment.
How can news outlets everywhere treat climate change as a story for every beat, not just silo it on the weather desk?
That sounds good.
2.
Discuss whether news outlets should still take fossil fuel advertising and how journalists can grapple with climate disinformation.
We have a great news future.
They're like shooting fish in a barrel coming up for us.
Look ahead to the 2024 elections that will have profound implications.
Hold on a second.
You gotta stop.
Because you're a journalist.
Well, I don't know about that.
But I'm not not a journalist.
Right on.
There's supposed to be a separation Between journalists, the whole process on that side of the aisle, and a Chinese wall, as some people like to call it, between that and advertising.
So now why are they talking to journalists about who can advertise at all?
Isn't this a complete violation of journalistic principles?
They're not supposed to be in there with us.
Are they going to go out on a sales call?
You better take that up with the Columbia Journalism School, my friend.
Do you dare go against them?
Yeah.
We will also look ahead to 2024 elections that will have profound implications for global climate action.
How can journalists make those implications clear to voters, refute misinformation, and hold candidates accountable?
This, I think, is where you come in and say, this is not political.
Hold what accountable?
Candidates.
Oh, candidates for office, okay.
Yeah.
Next point.
Learn from journalists covering and living in frontline communities how to highlight climate justice in our reporting.
This doesn't sound like reporting.
Sounds like propaganda.
Next point.
Recognize that telling the entire climate story means not just including solutions, but interrogating those solutions so the public and policy makers know which ones actually work.
Whoa!
And this is the news, man.
The news is going to be doing this.
Here we go.
Plus, get a front row seat to interviews with special guests and global climate luminaries.
Woo!
I'm a global climate luminary.
Climate Changes Everything will be a participatory event with networking breaks, a town hall, and working sessions on key conference themes.
We're at a moment of historic opportunity for journalism.
Climate coverage around the world is better than ever, but so much more is needed.
More energy, more creativity, more commitment.
Let's forge a path forward together.
Yes, send me a link to that thing.
Together.
Yeah, just send me a link.
Yeah, well, I'll send you a link.
Maybe I'll go to it.
You're not gonna get on a plane.
Please.
Hosted by the Columbia Journalism Review, The Nation, The Guardian, and Solutions Journalism Network.
Wait, you have to go to it?
You're not going to do it online?
Click here to attend.
You're going to make people go to it and waste energy?
Well, we have to be together.
Let me see.
Let me see if you can join online.
Let me see.
Is there a... I'm looking now.
No, I don't... It's in person.
It's in person only.
It's free!
It's free?
It's free!
But wait, there's a little information button.
This event is intended to assist working journalists in their climate coverage to give journalists priority when registering for the event.
When you reserve a spot, your registration will be added to our list.
Journalists will receive a registration confirmation.
Acceptance will be based on the order the registration request received.
Oh, we're too late for this.
Everyone signed up for this one.
Oh, I definitely should.
Send me that stuff.
I may violate my current rules.
You're not going to get on a plane.
You know, if you go there, they're going to out you.
Kind of like the invasion of the body snatchers.
They'll be looking at you like, oh, there he is!
He's a podcaster!
Get him out of here!
Roust him!
Roust him.
Yeah, this is the stuff we're dealing with.
Yeah, well.
It's good for the show.
I have a couple of follow-up clips to this climate thing.
Let's start with kids and climate from Democracy Now!
And the Committee on the Rights of the Child said Monday governments must address the climate crisis and other environmental emergencies to quote ensure that children are protected from foreseeable premature or unnatural death and threats to their lives and enjoy their right to life with dignity.
The formal opinion issued by the UN body could be a boon to multiple lawsuits brought by youth around the world over their government's inaction and contribution to climate change.
Next month, the European Court of Human Rights will hear a climate case from a group of young people in Portugal against 32 countries.
It's for the children, man.
It's for the children.
It's for the children.
It's a scare something.
So let's go to the air.
Now here's the thing that always gets me and I think that I don't know if they're going to teach this or if it's this is something it takes a while to develop.
Air pollution is air pollution.
Carbon pollution is not even pollution technically, but it's just, you know, CO2.
Well, when they say carbon, do they mean carbon dioxide or just carbon?
Well, nowadays they mean carbon dioxide, but they say carbon, they're misusing all these phrases.
Yes, that's not, carbon pollution means humans.
We are carbon, so you are pollution as a human being.
So Amy has gone down the road of trying to equate air pollution, which is a technical term.
And you know, let's just frame this.
Yes, I was an air pollution inspector.
Just above rat poop inspector.
I had worked for the administrative state for nearly a decade.
Yes, you were deep state.
No, well, the administrative state, yes.
I could say, if you want to call it the entire administrative state, which is huge, and the fact that people keep saying, well, we've got to get rid of it.
Good luck!
And so, as a representative of that group, and And I would say an expert on air pollution.
It's getting pretty bad what they're trying to do here.
And here's Amy's air pollution report.
A new report finds air pollution reduces global life expectancy by 2.3 years, slightly more than being a smoker.
The study by the Energy Policy Institute at University of Chicago Concludes fine particulate air pollution from vehicles, industrial emissions, wildfires and other sources are quote, the greatest external threat to public health unquote.
In South Asia, air pollution cuts life expectancy by an average of five years with the air quality in New Delhi, India, leading to a loss of life of more than 10 years on average.
I thought, you know, I'm now a former smoker.
Since November last year.
I thought it was like 15 years.
What was this 2.2 years business?
That's not worth quitting over.
Go back.
Start smoking again.
I might have to start again.
This is two years.
Who's counting?
I think it's a lie.
I think so too.
But why?
Why this number all of a sudden?
It's a weird number.
It's weird to say that.
I'm just throwing this clip in there as like, this is not about climate change technically, it's about air pollution.
And air pollution is not good, obviously.
Would you say that our air has gotten a lot cleaner since the 70s?
It's super clean compared to the 50s.
When President Obama was sucking on soot?
You just have to go visit Beijing and see what the bad air looks like.
Whatever, remember this?
Here's an example of how much it's improved.
Suckin' and suckin'!
There used to be a running gag about the smog.
Smog in Los Angeles.
Well, dude, now you're asking me to play the whole thing.
Obama.
For one thing, the smog in Los Angeles was photochemical.
It was not soot.
Soot is what happened in London, maybe, in the 60s.
The London fire.
The London fog.
There used to be running gags about the smog, smog, smog, because the L.A.
Basin was a bowl that was very susceptible to developing smog.
Hang in there.
Just hang in.
Hang in.
And nobody talks about smog in L.A.
anymore.
I haven't heard the word smog forever.
Because we've got homeless now.
It's much more fun to talk about that.
All right.
All right.
I'm just making a point here.
You're trying to submarine me.
No, I'm not.
I'm just being the funny man.
So, uh, the smog situation is completely lost to history, it seems like.
Nobody even knows what it's about, and now they're bitchin' and moanin' about everything else.
But, uh, Beijing still has smog, and I'm sure New Delhi does, and it's not healthy.
Everyone knows this.
Okay.
We can move away from climate change.
I think we're done there.
I'm done.
Let's move to the COVID comeback because, you know, there's just a number of people who are still out there trying to make it come back.
You love the COVID comeback.
I love the COVID comeback.
President Biden has signed off on a new funding request for a revamped COVID-19 vaccine that, quote, works.
Let's watch.
This is my favorite.
This is like just putting it in our face.
Hey, we're going to take some more money Like we already, like Gayle already told us there, CBS Mornings, like, oh, it's going to be free just in time for Halloween.
We're going to take more money, your money, your money, people, your money, and we're going to, we're going to get a vaccine.
This time it's going to work!
I mean, they're putting it in our face!
Mr. President, can you say anything about the COVID cases and new variants?
Yes, I can.
As a matter of fact, I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine.
Not necessary, that works.
And tentatively, not to signify anything, tentatively, it is recommended that, it would like to be recommended that everybody get it, no matter what they got before.
Biden's announcement comes amid a spike in COVID cases and hospitalizations around the country.
However, the president's acts will likely face an uphill battle in the upper chamber.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul already signaled his opposition, posting on X, quote, so to recap, one, POTUS is saying the vaccine they're currently promoting and they mandated does not work.
Two, he wants more funding for another one.
That's a no from me.
The rise in COVID cases also prompted the re-emergence of mask mandates in some places, but people might want to slow down before going that route.
A new study re-shared by the National Institutes of Health reveals that N95 masks may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals that have been linked to seizures and even cancer.
This study was led by researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea.
Don't worry.
And it found that some disposable masks contain more than eight times the U.S.
recommended limit of toxic volatile organic compounds or TBCS.
They also noted that the level of toxicity can be decreased by simply letting the mask air out for 30 minutes before use.
Just making fools of people.
Just wave your mask for 30 minutes, people.
Wave your mask in the air and party like you just don't care.
Then put it on your face with your TBCS chemicals.
And when you're bringing back COVID, you gotta bring back Scarf Lady Deborah Birx back on ABC!
Hey, so, I mean, let's get right into it.
How serious is this COVID surge that we're seeing right now in your eyes?
Well, I loved your introduction because you laid it out perfectly.
So what does it mean when someone recommends a fall vaccination?
It means that you're ignoring the summer wave.
And we've had the summer wave in 2020, 2021, 2022, and now 2023.
It is predictable.
It's what COVID does.
It's what COVID does.
It's called the summer cold.
It's called the summer cold.
It's what the summer cold does.
It's what the flu does.
But no, it's what COVID does.
It has been persistent, but we've had these waves and so we've never gotten to zero.
The hospital admissions have never gone to zero.
Now we're living in this a bit of a fantasy world where we're pretending that COVID is not relevant, but I can tell you, if you can hear my voice and you know two or three people who have COVID, That means that 5-10% of your friends already have COVID.
Why is she laughing about that?
Why is she laughing that 5% of your friends, which means, I mean, I don't have that many friends, John, so you probably have it.
5% of my friends, 5% of my friends have COVID.
You can hear my voice.
I think it's a lie tell.
No kidding.
I think she's lying and she knows it.
But she even says you can hear my voice that I'm lying.
If you can hear my voice and you know two or three people who have COVID.
That means that five to ten percent of your friends already have COVID.
Why?
Why, Deborah?
That means that there is a lot of COVID out there.
There's a lot of COVID!
Well, as far as the boosters then, this booster shot, are these boosters coming too late?
Well the important thing is this is the booster that would have been appropriate for the summer wave.
This booster is most likely not going to work with the winter wave.
Oh no!
Then why take it?
What?
Then why take it?
Because President Biden's gonna get you one that works.
Because we already have a pretty significant escape mutant or escape variant out there.
She left again.
Yes, yes.
This is a horrible, horrible, horrible woman.
That's beginning.
Oh, you loved her.
I did for about 10 days until I saw the lies she was espousing.
You know, you sound like my wife.
She says, but you loved Deborah Birx in the beginning!
I said, yeah, until she started rolling out some data.
Okay, well let's stop you right there.
Your wife and I noticed the same thing.
You fell for Deborah Birx because she had a nice scarf on her.
I did, I did, I did.
And it wasn't for 10 days, it was months.
Bullcrap!
Oh, oh, do you want me to grab bingit.io, bro?
No.
Okay.
Because we already- It's a waste of time.
We know it was months.
It's not.
No, it was not.
It was ten days, and when she started showing charts, immediately I went, no, this is not- this is bullcrap.
And I can prove it, and I will do that on the next show, to show you and her!
You turning on me, you turncoats.
Where's the love, John?
Where's the love?
Because we already have a pretty significant escape mutant or escape variant out there.
She laughed again.
Escape mutants.
Because she said escape mutants, she thought it was cute.
Escape mutants.
We've got escaped mutants.
Escaped from what?
From her!
From another lab?
Just like the current variant began like eight weeks ago.
We're already beginning to see some evidence of a new variant for which the vaccine probably is not well matched.
Probably?
How does she know?
Because she's Deborah Birx.
She's full of crap.
She can't say what she just said can't be said by any scientist.
Probably.
She said probably.
You know, she's just making it up.
That's her job.
She never was any good.
No, no.
As I recognized right away.
We're already beginning to see some evidence.
That's why there's two of us, John.
Evidence of a new variant for which the vaccine probably is not well matched.
So the whole point of doing mRNA technology... We're never going to get through this clip.
I like what they did here when she says probably not well matched and they throw a random sound effect in.
For which the vaccine probably is not well matched.
What was that?
A hospital office or something?
It's like a sound effect hit.
It sounded like somebody wheeling a dead patient by you in a hospital.
For which the vaccine probably is not well matched.
So, the whole point of doing mRNA technology... Ah!
Now we're getting to what was the whole point of doing mRNA technology is to give you human software upgrades.
Was to be able to switch out... These are the mRNA vaccines that you can tailor make.
Yes!
So, right now... Yes!
Yes!
Hold on, stop.
Again, you're right.
We're never going to get through this clip.
Don't run clips of her anymore.
I got one more.
She says technology.
She never says vaccine.
He has to say vaccine.
So the dumb audience that listens to this crap understands what she's talking about.
Yes.
For which the vaccine probably is not well matched.
So the whole point of doing... And she laughs again.
The whole point.
mRNA technology was to be able to switch out.
These are the mRNA vaccines that you can tailor make.
Yes, so right now, we should be making the vaccine against this very new variant, the B2.86, so that it is ready in January to really combat what we know will be the winter wave.
Now, what's interesting is this summer wave, and each summer wave seems to be coming about two weeks later, and that resulted in our winter wave last year being in January rather than primarily December.
And so we should expect a late December, early January wave.
And so we should be making vaccines right now for that wave.
It's a lot of waves.
They're planning on having two shots a year.
Yep.
Well, there's one more clip.
I hate to do it to you, but there's one more.
We'll finish this one with Deborah Birx.
I guess my question still remains, why?
Like, why aren't more boosters being cranked out?
Yeah, we need more boosters!
More boosters!
We need more boosters because we need money.
The president just gave money.
Let's crank out some boosters!
Political concern where maybe the administration is thinking like, no one wants to take more shots.
COVID is a political liability for us.
Let's just do once a year like the flu.
Is that the reason?
I think we wanted to make it like flu.
Because it is flu.
Easier, but it's never going to be like flu.
It stays with us in between the waves.
We have a summer wave.
We have a winter wave.
It makes people much sicker than flu.
Many more people die from it than flu.
No, exactly the same amount of people died from it that's died from flu.
Lie.
And by the way, flu does not have this level of long COVID and these long side effects.
Wow.
Wow.
You people, long side effects.
She's evil.
She knows it's the vaccine.
And by the way, flu does not have this level of long COVID and these long side effects.
Why is that funny?
There are people who are in dire, dire condition and you're laughing.
That we see with COVID.
So let's just all agree it's not flu, it will never be flu, following it and surveying for it like- Okay, okay, all right, I'll agree.
I agree, it's not flu, it will never be flu.
I hear you, Dr. Birx.
Do for flu will never be adequate in this country.
I believe if the federal government said to the private sector, we need better monoclonal antibodies, we need more antivirals, and we need a vaccine.
Against the new variant that's coming.
The private sector would do it like they did four years ago.
Well, yeah, that's exactly what's happening.
Now we got some money, they're going to do it.
But it won't be antivirals.
It won't be ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies off the table.
Remdesivir.
That's what we want.
It's not that they need guarantees from the government that they would pay for it.
Because now insurance is paying for it.
Oh, insurance pays for it.
The magical insurance company.
This is magic.
The insurance is paying for it.
Not the people who pay premiums, just insurance.
So what the federal government needs to do is lay out the plan that says, we're not done with COVID.
COVID's not done with us.
250,000 Americans died in 2022.
We've got to do a better job in 2023.
And this is part of our better job.
Wow.
Okay.
So this lady is insane.
But the insanity is rife.
And I am thinking that there's a big part of American culture, particularly the culture drivers, are just that they want it so bad.
They want COVID to come back because they want to be able to identify each other with masks.
They want it.
If only it could be the way it was supposed to be.
You know, if only COVID was really killing a lot, if only COVID was killing kids, and then if only we had a vaccine that really, really worked, the president is now promising that, if there was a vaccine that really, really, really worked, then people who were anti-vaxxers, who weren't taking the shot, then we could really call them out as being baby killers, baby killers.
And some people want this so much, That they are willing to say it out loud.
This is Sam Harris being interviewed on the Impact Theory podcast on vaccine mandates.
He is having a mental health event before our very eyes.
So you felt that it was obviously wrong to force people to get the mRNA vaccine for COVID, right?
Now, I would grant you, certainly in retrospect, that seems true.
But if we change a few of the variables, I think your ethical intuitions and certainly political intuitions would totally change.
So you make it a much more obviously effective vaccine that really does block transmission.
It's like a sterilizing vaccine.
You make it a much more dangerous virus.
You make it a virus that's actually preferentially killing kids rather than old people, right?
So now we're in an environment where, like, you're deciding not to get vaccinated is putting my kids at risk, right?
Do you get to make that choice, right?
And you might say, oh, yes, I should be able to make that choice.
It's my body, you know, but dial up the deadliness of the pathogen.
Dial it up!
Give us something like airborne Ebola that incubates for a month.
You don't know you have it, and you walk around spreading it, and it's got a 75% fatality rate, and it's mostly killing kids.
No one gets to make that choice anymore.
Literally, the cops come in and vaccinate you.
I would say that all of us would agree to that.
Again, you turn up the lethality on the pathogen, you turn up the effectiveness of the vaccine, you turn down the risk of the vaccine.
Give me a truly safe vaccine where there's not even one documented case of vaccine injury, right?
Then you just have to be completely crazy.
To be worried about being vaccinated in that kind of environment.
Then it's just a no-brainer.
Then we just don't tolerate a diversity of opinion because the stakes are too high.
It's a full-on emergency.
Bodies of kids are being stacked up in parks, right?
There's so many of them we don't know what to do with them.
We've got these mobile morgues.
And we have a vaccine that actually works, and then we've got RFK Jr.
saying, you know, maybe you don't want to get the jab on Rogan's podcast, right?
That's the world I've been worried about ever since COVID.
What the hell is he talking about?
He is wishing, he is wishing for everything that is not true.
So in his mind, what he really wanted COVID to be, and maybe it can come back again, is it's killing babies.
We have mobile morgues, we have babies stacked up in parks.
I mean, I think he had an erection when he said that.
We have a vaccine that actually works, doesn't harm a single person.
Then, RFK Jr.
would be such a horrible person.
R.F.K.
Jr., under those circumstances, of everything he described, all those variables, would be all in for the vaccine.
He's not an idiot.
But this is my point.
The guy is having a mental meltdown because none of this is true.
That's what they all thought was happening and what I think he secretly wishes would happen.
Like, give me viral Ebola, airborne Ebola, please.
Yeah, that would sit around for 30 days, which is like, no vector does that.
He's saying dial it up.
But let's assume if you invented one that did, that'd be great.
Dial it up.
Dial it up.
That's literally what he's saying.
Dial up.
Dial up the lethality.
Dial up the effectiveness.
Well, we had none of that, Sam Harris.
Well, Sam Harris should be hired by the NIH to coordinate with the next development of the next vaccine combo disease.
Who says he's not already cashing their checks with this kind of talk?
And this brings me just to a general observation.
So, after Dopesick, which was produced by Michael Keaton, didn't quite get the amount of attention that I think it was intended to get and was about the Sackler family and the... Yeah, it was too... Can I... I'll give my opinion.
It was too... ponderous.
It was ponderous and I was like, you could watch the, I watched the first episode and I tried to watch more and I said, you know what?
It's too ponderous.
There's not enough hours in the day for me.
No, I'm not watching any more of it.
So now they're back to do another series, because that, now, if I were a network executive, or I work for Netflix, let's just say, and I see that, you know, that show Michael Keaton, it had all the right elements, okay, you know, one of our experts said it was too ponderous, but it really should have done, it was critically acclaimed, it really should have done much better.
You know, let's do another, let's green light another one.
Because why not?
Everyone loves the Sackler family.
So now we have Painkiller.
Which is another series about the Sackler family creating the opioid epidemic.
And I'm going to call whitewashing on all of it.
What this is doing is focusing all attention of evil pharma, evil pharmaceutical companies, the people that run them, the funding they get, and that is to vaccine companies.
I mean, Johnson & Johnson paid a bigger fine by a factor of four Than the Sackler family did.
This is whitewashing the entire evilness of Big Pharma and putting it all onto one family.
Yeah, that's what you do, you focus.
But I want everyone to know that, because the focus is, oh, evil Sacklers, evil.
Meanwhile, I've got 100,000 people a year dying, and it's still the evil Sacklers?
No, no, no, no, no.
It's not even in the picture anymore.
Bring back lobotomies, people.
We need to do something about this.
It's crazy!
Dah!
Dah!
And now we have Vivek... Vivek... Vivek... Ramaswamy!
Vivek, man!
Vivek is... He's being called out as a pharma boy!
Oh yeah.
I don't know why they're so freaked about this guy because he's not a genuine threat, but okay.
I think they jumped the gun.
Well, that's interesting you say that because he is kind of doing, whenever something comes out, he has exactly the right You know, he has exactly the right thing to say.
Hold on, this is a short clip from The Hills.
There is an allegation now that Vivek Ramaswamy made his money by buying a drug that had already failed multiple clinical trials, changing the name of it, having his mother, who's a doctor, writing a new survey, not like a new research, but basically a new survey that indicated the drug could be more promising, having the stock go up on the drug, profiting from that, and then the drug ultimately fails anyway.
So there's definitely scams, and it's incumbent on the people who approve these things, who have scientific knowledge, to actually assess the possibility of these interventions being successful.
So they're going after him.
Hold on a second.
So this guy, I didn't know this.
So this guy did the following.
He spotted a drug that if it was rebranded and a little research was done, it would benefit the company that was manufacturing this drug and the stock would go up.
And he pulled that off?
Yes, he pulled that off.
Wow!
Vivek Ramaswamy comes in.
Did you see that video of him?
I'm going to interrupt you again.
Sure.
Because I'm still thinking about what a genius move this is in terms of just making some quick money in the stock market.
Have that guy run our country!
What they're trying to do is tarnish him by saying, because of the rebranding thing, as one of the pharma bros.
Yes, exactly.
The creepy guy that was testifying in Congress.
Scarelli.
Scarelli.
That guy.
Who I still think is something of a plant for something or other.
I don't know.
I've never been totally bought into that guy.
But so they're trying to make him look like a Schiarelli.
Oh, nice try.
It's cute.
I have to say that you don't like him.
You said yourself, you know, I don't like him.
Who, Ramaswamy?
Yeah, you don't like him.
No, I don't like him.
OK, well, you'll like him even less because he comes in.
But I don't like him as a candidate.
I think as a person, he'd be a great guy to go have a beer with.
No.
Did you see him on MSNBC, like early talk show?
Yeah, he's a little bit of a kiss-ass, that's true.
A little bit?
A little bit, no.
He's the kind of Silicon Valley guy that I wouldn't mind having a beer with.
He says exactly what MAGA country wants to hear.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
He's a parrot.
He's a Donald Trump parrot.
Yeah, listen to this.
Why do you think there are more race-based... But when is Chuck gonna leave, meet the press?
Didn't he already retired a year ago?
What is the deal with this guy?
No, he's still here.
Why do you think there are more race-based violent crimes on the right than on the left?
Why is this a little more pervasive, a lot more pervasive on the right?
Well, the fact of the matter is I think that there's a lot more violence that's also pervasive in parts of the country that supposedly are left-wing voter bases.
So I don't think this is a left versus right issue and I don't think we should try to politicize this through partisan goggles either, Chuck, especially in the wake of a tragedy like this one.
The fact is there are more black men dying on the south side of Chicago.
Do you ignore the elements that allowed this manifesto to spread online and that what we're, you know, it does feel as if social media Connects some of these hateful ideologies.
Well the fact of the matter is I do think we have two sides.
He's gotta stop saying fact of the matter because that's not good.
Theologies.
Well, the fact of the matter is I do think we have two standards that we're even applying if we're having a conversation about manifestos.
We still have not yet even seen the manifesto of that transgender shooter in Nashville of a Christian school, and yet here we're focusing on the motive.
So if we want to look at this through a politicized lens, let's look at what the political media and the political establishment is doing differentially in how they analyze different crimes and then create a new narrative around it.
The fact is, what I said in the Nashville shooter case, I will say here.
Any killing, any mass killing is heinous.
We need to get to the root cause of the mental health epidemic.
I don't remember him saying anything about the Nashville shooting.
And, I don't even, was he even on the scene at the time?
I don't remember.
Address that.
We need leadership.
So, isn't he talking about the new shooting that just took place a couple days ago?
Yeah, but what he's saying, he just said what I said about the Nashville shooting when it happened.
Yes, he's doing exactly what MAGA country is doing, is saying, hey, you're calling this a hate crime, and there's evidence that they are totally doing that for political reasons.
And you're talking about the guy's manifesto, but you didn't allow the manifesto to be released of the Nashville shooter.
This is a MAGA country trope.
Why do I know?
Because I live here.
Any killing, any mass killing, is heinous.
We need to get to the root cause of the mental health epidemic.
Address that.
We need leadership that sets the right...
health own in this country but if we are going to talk about manifestos and politicization chuck i think it is incomplete not to look at the absence of releasing that nashville shooter manifesto even as of today so i personally travel to nashville to call for it and that i think is the best evidence of real politicization i don't even remember that either When did he travel to Nashville to call for it?
I am!
In terms of what the public sees and what the public doesn't, I want to apply one standard for everybody.
I don't want to look at this through partisan goggles.
I want to look at this through one standard of the rule of law for everybody.
He's definitely smarter than Chuck.
Hello?
Wood is smarter than Chuck.
There's a lot of shootings around our country, and there's all kinds of shootings of all kinds of people.
We've got a Chinese guy shooting people in Carolina.
Let's not talk about that.
He was from Wuhan, even, to make it funnier.
We've got to talk about the white guy who shot the black people.
That's all that matters.
Americans don't matter.
Just if it's white against black, that's the only thing that matters because, you know, Trump's kind of got black Americans on his side.
So let's hype this up.
And Alex, police were pretty quick and emphatic in saying they believe this was a race-motivated attack.
Very quick and emphatic.
Very quick and emphatic.
What do we know about the shooter's background or motivations here?
So, a couple of things here.
They say that based off of his writings, which they described as hate-filled ideology, they were able to determine pretty quickly that this was a crime motivated by race.
Even though his parents called the cops and said he didn't take his meds, he is having a psychiatric event, there's an issue with him.
Oh, no, no.
He just hates black people.
This is white supremacy.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office, who has been assisting our agency with this investigation, received information after the shooting that the shooter had authored several manifestos.
One to his parents, one to the media, and one to federal agents.
At one point after the shooter, you know, starting his heinous acts, he texts his dad at 1.18 p.m.
on Saturday, telling him to check the computer at home.
At 1.53 p.m., the shooter's family members called the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
By that time, he had already began shooting in Jacksonville.
And based off of the writings that are detailed there, where they're filled with racial epithets and also notes that were found on his person after he shot himself, police were able to determine pretty quickly What the motivating factor was, and that was that this person was driven by race-based hate.
The manifesto is, quite frankly, the diary of a madman.
Okay, but either he is a racist, and he hates people, or he's a madman.
Okay?
And he's clinically insane, and he's having a mental event, and he has access to guns.
None of which should happen, of course.
But, it's, you know, you can't have it all, but I guess you can.
And this is exactly what the Democrat Party wants, because we gotta roll out Joe, kick that mofo in the back.
Okay, speak!
On Saturday morning, the nation has observed the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington.
By the evening, a white gunman in Jacksonville, Florida, reportedly driven by racial animus, went on a shootings rampage at a store near Edward Waters University, a historical black university.
Three black Americans were murdered in cold blood.
But we know this, as I made clear in my inaugural address.
White supremacy is a poison.
It's a poison.
It's been allowed to grow faster and fester in our communities.
Said the white supreme leader of the free world.
The point where the intelligence community is determined, the U.S.
intelligence community is determined that domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy is the greatest terrorist threat we face in the homeland.
The greatest threat.
We have to act.
We have to act.
Yes, and act we do.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
60 years ago, Dr. King urged us to struggle against the triple evils of racism, poverty, and bigotry.
Today, racism is still with us.
Poverty is still with us.
And now, gun violence has come for our places of worship, Our schools and our shopping centers.
What prescient words by the granddaughter of Martin Luther King, just a few hours before that shooting, talking about racially animated shootings taking place across the country.
Nicole, you know, here we are 60 years later, still a lot of challenges.
Yeah, really striking.
Of course, that was King's granddaughter.
We also heard from Martin Luther King III, Dr. King's son and King's wife.
But, you know, really being out there on the mall yesterday, 60 years later, it was palpable the amount of frustration and concern there is 60 years later.
You know, we talk about how far we have come as a country.
And yet for many, particularly in the African-American community, there's a sense that we're still fighting the same battles, whether that's issues of hate crimes and racial violence, whether that's the issue of the rollback of affirmative action, voting rights.
So those were some of the concerns articulated at the march yesterday, and also a call to action to continue to keep fighting some of these issues so that one day Dr. King's dream can be realized.
That certainly was the message expressed.
It's so bad that the media will do anything to work in white.
White gun, white gun, white poison, white supremacy, white, white, white, white, white.
A shooting during the Chicago White Sox game Friday was reportedly accidental.
Two women were wounded.
ESPN Chicago reports one of the women snuck the gun into the ballpark after, quote, hiding it in her belly fat.
Yes, white fat people, that's what's good.
The White Sox game.
Now, the real reason for this is because the Democrat Party is very worried about Trump's popularity with ADOS, American Descent of Slavery, black men.
And we've, there's evidence everywhere.
He's the gangster.
Now he's on par with Martha Stewart.
Roll out Snoop Dogg.
Everybody, the hood is with Trump.
Can't have that.
We begin tonight with a weird trend that we've noticed coming out of MAGA Republican world.
This is a party, after all, whose base is overwhelmingly the same demographic that gets its news from Fox.
So let's just say not super diverse.
But since Trump came along in 2016, they keep insisting that because of him, Republicanism is booming among black people, despite there being no evidence of that.
And as Donald Trump's troubles have gotten more intense, Republicans are leaning into a new twist on this narrative.
Namely, that Trump being an accused felon has broadened his appeal with black voters.
I think this is endearing, especially many black men, to President Trump.
As one black lady I spoke with earlier today here in New Orleans said, Trump's a gangster.
And that means he has cred among a new block of voters that perhaps have never given him a serious look, and now they're looking again.
Black Americans throughout our history have felt unfairly victimized by the system.
Historically, there's some truth to that.
The mugshot unintentionally created a bond between Donald Trump and black Americans over the weekend.
With the help of mugshot merchandise, the Trump campaign raked in over $7 million.
Today, my garbage man told me he's buying mugshot t-shirts for everyone he knows this Christmas.
Oh, bless your heart.
Good to know, Jesse Waters, that some of your best garbage men are black.
I mean, come on, y'all.
Y'all don't really know any black people, do you?
None, right?
Well, I do know one, but you're not one of them, Joy Ann Lomina, born in Brooklyn, father from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and mother from Guyana.
Give me a break.
You're not Ados.
These are horrible people.
Horrible.
They'll do anything.
She gets paid good money, that woman.
She does.
Now, you brought in a Tucker Trump clip, which now has me worried.
Um, from the interview that Tucker did with Trump?
Well, before you get to that, I still want to stay on the civil rights thing, because I do have the Biden clip.
Oh, okay.
And this, I think, wraps up a civil rights coverage.
Pause for just a moment.
I thought things achieved.
I was able to literally, I figured, talk strong firmly on the voting for me.
What?
The Civil Rights Act.
Before he died.
I thought, well, maybe this is real progress.
But hate never dies.
It just hides.
It hides under the rocks.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
How old is Biden?
He told Strom Thurmond to write for the Civil Rights Act?
To vote for it.
People have done analysis of this, and there's two stages to the analysis.
First of all, the act was passed when Biden was 21 years old, eight years before he became a senator.
So he didn't know Strom Thurmond from anyone.
And so that's just an out-and-out lie.
He has said this before.
Yeah.
And at least one guy, and I was going to look up the voting record.
I have to assume this is probably true.
Strom Thurmond voted no.
Yeah.
But this is just kind of bullcrap.
And by the way, this was provided to us by our Grand Duke, this clip, even though I ran it through Adobe.
Which Grand Duke?
The one that's in San Jose.
Oh, OK.
David.
Ah, yes, Foley.
I just want to give him credit for this so he will continue to provide...
Well, eventually, one of the 18,000 clips he sends us will hit.
I mean, you know.
Actually, I use a lot of his clips.
He just seems to be sitting on TikTok.
Oh yeah.
And honestly, I would appreciate it more if he just sent me the TikTok link.
Does he send that to you as well?
He sends you the actual file?
Yeah, he sends an mp3 file.
Well, what's cool about the mp3 files is you can post them directly on No Agenda Social.
Isn't he Archduke?
Is he Grand Duke or Archduke?
No, he's a Grand Duke.
Grand Duke, okay.
Alright, so now I'm worried about Trump and Tucker.
And so you had this from the interview that ran as counter-program to the Republican debate.
Well, it makes it look even more ridiculous.
Hold on, let me go back a year.
The protest didn't work.
You got elected anyway.
Impeachment didn't work twice, obviously.
Indictment is not working.
Your poll numbers go up.
When they raided Mar-a-Lago in August of last year, your numbers went up.
They can indict you 20 times and you're not going to lose the Republican primary because of that.
Well, it makes it look even more ridiculous.
I mean, the four indictments, and maybe there'll be more.
I don't know.
These people are crazy.
But they're counterproductive.
So if you chart it out, it's an escalation, is what I'm saying.
So what's next?
After, you know, try to put you in prison for the rest of your life?
That's not working.
So, like, don't they have to kill you now?
I think the people of our country don't get enough credit for how smart they are.
And I'm not sure I would have said this ten years ago, but they get it, you know?
They really get it.
When somebody gets indicted, your poll numbers go down.
Alright, so that was the why don't they have to kill you now.
Also, part of that interview, he, out of the blue, started asking, well, don't you think Jeffrey Epstein was killed?
Am I right?
Yeah, I think so.
So now Wall Street Journal comes out with an article how Jeffrey Epstein tried to tap into Trump's circle.
Yeah, I saw that article.
I'm now thinking there is, it was so out of the blue for Tucker to ask about, to ask Trump about, do you think Epstein was killed?
And now we have this Jeffrey Epstein tried to tap into Trump's circle?
Do you think these are just like code warnings?
Code warnings or they're setting something up.
Here, subhead.
Before 2016 election, the convicted sex offender invited Trump campaign backers Peter Thiel and Thomas Barak to meetings with Russian diplomat.
They're connecting Epstein to Trump and, you know, hey, why don't they just kill you?
I don't like any of this talk.
I don't either.
That's why I put that clip together.
I don't like any of it.
Yeah, I don't like it at all.
It's too nonchalant.
It really is not good.
The whole world has gone crazy, John.
The whole world has gone nuts.
We're good to go.
Oh, it's great for us.
Have you ever heard of Clio Dynamics?
Cleo?
Yeah, Cleo Dynamics.
Is that the woman who does readings?
Cleo Dynamics treats history as science.
Its practitioners develop theories that explain such dynamical processes as the rise and fall of empires, population booms and busts, and the spread and disappearance of religions.
These theories are translated into mathematical models, and then finally model predictions are tested against historical data.
So, the idea is, you take a period of time that already was, you build a model around it, to then predict what will come.
And this has been done by a dude named Peter Turchin.
Yeah, this is not new.
It's new to me, I'm not saying it's new.
A kind of statistical system that was developed, I forgot the name, it was SS, some statistical package for the social sciences, SPSS.
I can't remember.
I know a friend that developed one of these systems.
Academics don't warm up to this, even though it seems to have some interest.
Well, this Peter Turchin guy wrote a book called End Times, although he himself said that... His name rings a bell.
Turchin?
Yeah.
I think I have... He's been around, I guess.
I mean, do you put any, let me see... Any credence to this?
Any credence to this, yeah?
No.
No?
Okay.
Good, then I'll play some clips.
Here's an explanation of Clio Dynamics.
Well, this is part of the new science that we call Clio Dynamics, the science of history, and it's based on the good old scientific approach, which means that we start with many different theories trying to explain particular aspects of reality, in this case the dynamics of society.
Can you stop for a second so I can get one more little jab in here before it continues?
Yeah, please.
The reason this is If these guys could do this with any degree of accuracy, this is like climate science.
There's too many variables and until they come up with a package that predicts the stock market with accuracy, I'm not buying any of this.
Especially predicting history, I mean in the future, no.
Well, it can't be done.
Too many variables.
What's beautiful about this is that... And too much noise.
That's the other problem.
Too much noise.
I asked a superstar statistician once years ago.
I forgot who this was.
He's a professor.
And I said, why can't you just, you know, come out of the stock market?
I'm thinking.
He says the real problem is too much noise.
And I'm not going to disagree with you, but I loved his conclusions because they agree with my biases.
That's why these guys are popular.
We translate theories into mathematical models because We want to study the dynamics, and you cannot study dynamics without such formal apparatus.
And then we collect large amounts of data to test predictions from different theories to find out which of them fit the data better and which, therefore, are closer to the real drivers.
So, he took a data set from 2010 to now in the United States.
Has my interest!
So, the United States, since 2010, it's been a very interesting experience, because remember that this prediction was a scientific prediction.
It was not a prophecy about what is going to happen in the future, because that's really not possible to do.
The idea was to derive a prediction from a theory and then see how well it corresponds to the reality that was to unfold in the next 10 years.
And over those 10 years, it was a very strange experience because That was me, I'm sorry.
It was like on the train, you know, heading for a train wreck and seeing everything unfolding pretty much as the theory has predicted.
So all the trends that I noted in 2010, they continued developing in the same unfavorable directions during the next 10 years and in fact now.
Okay, so now here he starts to talk about some of the issues and what really went wrong with America.
And so these are really, he's going back and saying things that I think you and I will agree with, only he's using not prophecy, but science to come to this answer.
We could have told him this, but I love when he says this.
Several factors that drive societies to crisis.
The most important ones are, first of all, what we call popular immiseration.
That's declining living standards for the majority of the population.
And secondly, even more importantly, elite overproduction.
Elite want too many elite wannabes!
There's too many elite wannabes.
Elite want too many elite wannabes.
This is exactly the problem.
For the limited set of power positions that we have for them.
The competition between such elite aspirants becomes so important.
We're elite wannabes.
You can't understand him?
I can't understand a word he's saying.
Not a single word?
Pretty much.
to working against the system because they cannot make headway within the system.
And so...
That's us, by the way.
We're elite wallabies.
You know, I can't...
You can't understand him?
I can't understand a word he's saying.
Not a single word?
Pretty much.
Oh, that kind of ruins everything, doesn't it?
Well, it would be nice if he spoke...
He wasn't...
He had such a thick accent.
Well, you're just being racist now.
I can't help that.
He's a scientist, man.
He sounds like some, like a, he sounds like a, like a cartoon scientist.
So, I don't know what he's saying.
I mean, I seriously can't understand it.
Okay, well then, I'll just tell you what he said.
Yeah, why don't you just wrap it?
So, there are too many elites, uh, and elite wannabes, And the number one group of elite wannabes who will be at a factor of six to one more elite wannabes than jobs for them, which will be eliminated and created by AI.
Can you guess the group of elites that one particular vocation that will be eliminated by AI?
And there's a lot of them.
A lot of... one group?
There's one elite group.
Teachers?
Nope.
Professors?
Nope.
It's the same thing.
Doctors?
Physicians?
Nope.
Electricians?
Lawyers.
Oh, lawyers.
And when you think about it, that's actually what AI could be reasonable at.
Is taking language, large language model, taking historical cases and creating arguments for and against case law.
And now I'm thinking that one story about the lawyer who he was embarrassed in court because he had run everything through AI and had made up all these cases.
I'm thinking that's bullcrap.
I think that's a bullcrap story now.
You think it was just done to kind of defuse, to push back on this?
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Absolutely.
The other thing he said is that Trump is a bit like the brothers Gracchi of Rome, which I thought was an interesting comparison.
The Gracchi brothers, you have elites who become counter-elites, and you have the elites who are credentialed elites, which would be lawyers, and you have elites who are financial elites, that would be Trump.
And it's the financial elites who become counter-elites.
You get this from a statistical analysis of 2010 is beyond me.
Anyway, the things that would help steer America straight, steer America straight again, besides a minimum wage, okay, the number one thing would be stop giving government-backed loans for higher education.
That would be one of the top things you could do.
I think that's true.
Are you just did you just fall down?
No, I mean the thing fell down, and I'm thinking it's symbolic.
What happened to you?
I don't know if that would do anything, but okay.
Well, we do have news on that.
Back now with a ticking clock for student loan borrowers.
Payments are set to resume in October, but as Brian Chung reports, some say they can't afford to pay, and others say they won't.
Josie Bridges is a single mom living paycheck to paycheck.
It's hard enough dealing with rising prices at the store.
My student payments are sitting right now at about $400 is what they're expecting each month.
So, I mean, that's my food budget right there.
The pandemic freeze on student loan payments allowed Josie to open up her own salon in Portland, Oregon.
But with $4,000 in outstanding debt from her community college degree, she says she simply won't be able to make the monthly payments once they resume in October.
Now I realize that it's kind of out of my hands at this point.
If I can't make it, I can't make it.
It's a game changer.
The Biden administration's plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt would have wiped Josie's slate clean.
Instead, a challenge from six Republican states resulted in a Supreme Court decision in June striking down the plan after Josie had already put thousands of dollars in investments into her salon.
I'm disappointed and I'm confused.
It's too inconsistent.
I don't know what's going to happen in the future and that's kind of scary.
If the administration was able to cancel all the debt, what would that have done for you?
Given me financial freedom.
The median student borrower has between $20,000 to $25,000 in outstanding debt.
And for those over 40 million borrowers, they're going to be facing interest accrual beginning in September, with the first payments in over three years due in October.
And unsurprisingly, there's now a movement, as you heard the lady say, to not pay!
We're just not gonna pay!
It is officially time for a student loan repayment boycott.
Some taking to social media, calling on borrowers not to pay.
Does the U.S.
government just think we're gonna go back to paying student loan payments?
Like, what?
It's gonna ruin my credit score?
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says it's a risk people shouldn't take.
The loans are still there, and the repayment is still needed.
Failing to pay comes with serious consequences.
Those in default face wage garnishing and big credit score hits.
But for now, the government says borrowers won't face those penalties if they miss payments.
We know many of our borrowers are going to struggle to make payments, but we want to make sure that we're not sending their name to credit agencies.
So we're going to hold them harmless for a year as they're getting back up.
Really?
Did you just hear what they said?
Yeah.
Basically, the Biden administration just said, don't worry about it.
This is how they get votes.
Yeah, exactly.
At this moment, it's either come up with money to pay for these now student loans that I'm having to pay or make it to where my business doesn't function as it needs to.
It's going to be tough either way.
At this moment, it's either come up with money to pay for these now student loans that I'm having to pay or make it to where my business doesn't function as it needs to.
One of millions bracing for the debt cliff this fall.
Yeah.
OK, so just don't pay.
Don't pay until after the elections, people.
It's gonna be great.
This is not good.
This is kind of a version of anarchy.
We could use a little bit of anarchy.
That would be fun.
We need some anarchy.
You've got too much.
We don't have any!
What anarchy are you seeing?
I'm seeing anarchy when a gang of 45 thieves rushes into a Neiman Marcus and steals everything and rushes out and then one of them gets caught and they get put back on the street.
Seems anarchistic if you ask me.
Have you heard about the Oakland Pirates?
The Oakland Pirates?
Yeah.
Okay, tell me.
I probably have heard about it.
This was new to me.
Here's a little intro to the story.
Property crime in Oakland has been on the rise this year.
We all know that.
That's not new information, but what is unusual is where it's being reported.
Year after year, robberies are up by 28% for burglaries.
That number skyrockets to 44%.
Most of the focus is on carjackings and business break-ins.
But now, those who live aboard boats at the port say they're facing a threat of their own, an increase in attacks from pirates.
John Ramos explains.
Are you interested?
The Oakland Pirates, people!
We often have a romantic notion about pirates, but when it comes to theft in Oakland, it's not really even that unusual.
The same things that are happening on the land are also happening on the water.
Considering all the problems Oakland is facing, now there's one more.
Pirates.
No kidding, those who live along the estuary say there's nothing safe about living on the water.
It's every week.
It's every week somebody's missing something.
From their boats, or either their dinghies, their outboard motors, or from their cars.
The twist is that the thieves are actually coming by way of the water, operating small boats, usually at night, to steal from the large vessels tied up at the docks.
John Fordham's apartment overlooks the Jack London Square Marina.
A couple weeks ago, I saw for the first time a high-speed chase on the water with a police boat pulling over another boat that was speeding away.
People will steal anything these days, but Damon Taylor, who maintains a sailboat near the Jack London Aquatic Center, says outboard motors seem to be the real prize.
Yeah, the motors are the thing.
You gotta figure, even a brand new, small, you know, 10 horsepower engine is $10,000, $15,000, brand new.
What?
So, even, you know, in the black market, you'd probably, they'd probably be able to get at least a couple thousand for that.
And while some are calling for more police response to the area, Taylor takes a pragmatic view.
They can't handle our land.
You know, financially and resource-wise.
They can't.
So they can't.
There's no Oakland Navy, you know?
But the problem is a serious one.
Some call these boats home.
And the idea of thieves trying to enter them in the dead of night has a lot of people living in fear.
Yeah, baby!
That's your anarchy right there.
$10,000 to $15,000 for a 10 horsepower outboard motor?
Those outboard motors, I went over this with the Horowitz, based on some story.
He's a boating guy.
And yeah, they're really expensive, some of these Mercury's, especially the bigger ones.
I mean, they cost as much as a car.
So I'm watching the local news and they're showing, they had a good camera shot from somebody's Somebody's camera.
I think it was a ring or I don't not sure but there's some guy breaking into somebody's car Yeah around here.
You have to just if you're gonna go into Oakland or San Francisco and Oakland's got the same problem as San Francisco Had still does kind of which is the soft district attorney that doesn't think they have anything to do with crime I'm just a district attorney.
It's just my name.
It's like one-hour cleaners and so They show a car pulling up, guy running out, looking inside this other car, busting the back window opening and taking something off the back and then jumping back in the car and taking off.
What was remarkable was the car that they drove up in was a Lexus that they bought legally with all their money.
And they drove off in this Lexus and I'm thinking, oh, what the hell?
What's going on here?
This is not something that needs extra food, but okay, whatever.
But they're not going to do anything about it because the DA there is in Oakland and the Alameda County is just a bunch of slouches.
Yeah.
You know, this brings me to a question I have for you because you'll be the one to answer it properly.
It appears that a number of Silicon Valley elites are building their own private city or a new city.
Yeah.
In California.
Supposedly.
Buying up land and everything and of course the immediate is, oh, it's going to be a 15-minute city.
I doubt if Laurene Powell Jobs is going to live there, it's not going to be a 15-minute city.
Do you know anything about this?
Yeah, well I did, in fact, I did a little research on this that I called up a friend of mine who does this type of development.
He developed Telluride and some other places and he knows, you know, all the guys that are involved in all this stuff.
And I said, you know anything about this?
This is the same thing you did to me.
Yeah.
And there is some good reporting on it around here, and the names are all on, there's a list of them.
Yeah, Reid Hoffman and Ron Powers.
It sounds like a bunch of lefties.
He thinks it's a fool's errand.
He says these rich guys, they every once in a while get their hair up their ass about development.
Developing a city and they're too dumb to do it right.
The people that can do that are few and far between and nobody on that list can do it.
So it's just somebody and I think it was Moritz.
Oh, from Sequoia Capital, of course.
Everybody's buddy, Michael Moritz.
The guy who, in 2017, seems to be the guy whose idea this is.
And then he got Marc Andrees and his, you know, whatever, boy, whatever you think is good.
Elon should be in on it.
He's Elon's man, too.
Elon should be in on it.
I think Elon might be, but I'm not sure.
But it's like they decided because there's land outside of Travis.
I think that they were hoping that Travis gets shuttered.
Moritz thinks like this.
Travis Air Force Base?
Yeah.
So Moritz thinks like this.
I don't think it's, for one thing, I don't think it's going to be shuttered.
We've already shuttered too many places in the California already.
But if they shuttered it, they could turn it into a private airport that was like that thing Ross Perot owns down in Texas, that operation.
And then you'd have a nice little, you'd have a nice setup.
It's probably not going to get shuttered.
And these guys are just a bunch of boneheads.
They're just buying all this property up.
It should accrue in value anyway, so they're not going to lose their ass, which is, you know, they're not, it's not a money loser, but I don't think anything's going to come of it.
It just seems like a bunch of douchebags who went like, San Francisco sucks.
It's no good, man.
It's, it's no good.
We don't like it anymore.
We're going to make our own city.
We'll show them.
Look, I know how to make the LinkedIn.
I can do LinkedIn.
I can do a city.
Ah, I was married to the Apple guy.
Most of the douchebags you're talking about have already long since moved to Palo Alto.
Okay, Palo Alto sucks.
It all sucks.
It all sucks.
We need a place where there's affordable housing for our slaves.
I mean, workers.
Don't you think it's something like that?
I think there is an element of that.
Has that ever worked?
Isn't it just like the company?
No.
Well, yeah, it did work in the 1900s.
Like in 1910.
Yeah, then you'd have to buy from the company store, and you'd have to shop there.
Yeah, get your slaves in there.
That doesn't work anymore.
Our slaves can't live in San Francisco anymore.
It's dangerous.
We need to give them safe places, safe spaces.
Yeah, I think you're exaggerating, but yeah.
I know how much you love this type of person.
With that, and my exaggeration, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the coup contagion, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John Cena!
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning, all ships, seaboats on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hello there, trolls.
Can you stop for a second while I count them?
I want to count them.
Hold on.
1876.
Hmm.
Is that, that's, that's bad for, is that good for Thursday?
Is that bad for Thursday?
I don't remember anymore.
No, it's average.
It's average.
You're average!
A bunch of average trolls doing average trolling.
Congratulations.
You did not excel.
Four surprises that high.
Four stars.
Why are your surprises that high?
Because that clip you played to that guy who nobody could understand.
Oh, thank you very much.
I can't understand.
I'm leaving.
I'm leaving now.
All right.

Speaking of podcasts, I mean, hell has finally frozen over.
Did you hear of the new podcast?
Which is not really a podcast because it's only on Spotify.
Did you hear of the new, the new hot new podcast that Spotify has launched for a 12 week limited run?
What kind of a podcast is that?
STRIKE FORCE 5!
I'm sorry.
STRIKE FORCE 5!
What is it?
It's all the late night talk show hosts now are doing a podcast together.
Oh yeah, I saw some videos of it.
It's like, I didn't see the podcast or even want to, but it's so, it couldn't be more lame.
And I tried to get through the first episode, which dropped It dropped!
They should have picked it up.
And I got 11 minutes until I just had to stop.
These guys, I'm gonna make a prediction.
There will be no audience for them to come back to.
Three of these five shows will be cancelled, will be pre-empted for something else.
Maybe even Old Letterman episodes would be better than this.
There will be no audience, the audience is moved on, this is a pathetic attempt, under the guise of, we're raising money for the people who work on our show who don't have any money because of the strike, which your companies themselves are responsible for, which is just bullcrap.
Yeah, you know, that is true.
I mean, most of these shows are produced by the host.
Yes!
And like Letterman Show used to be, I remember there was Pants or something, International Pants.
Worldwide Pants.
Worldwide Pants, that's a very memorable.
But the other ones are all produced by these same guys.
So they're the executive producers and producers.
So they're going to convince me that this limited 12-week run, which is sponsored by What's the George Clooney's tequila?
Oh, the tequila from George Clooney, yeah.
Clooney's tequila and the other guy... Because God knows we need more tequilas.
Who's the guy, Ryan Reynolds, isn't he?
Who has alcohol, he has gin or something.
Casa Amigos is the one, that's the right... What is the... It's Ryan Reynolds, isn't it?
Who also has a... I don't know, I don't keep track of celebrity booze.
I'm not talking to you.
Talking to the troll room.
Somehow, there's going to be enough money for hundreds of people.
Hundreds of people!
Oh, and Mint Mobile.
That's right.
Mint Mobile.
He is Mint Mobile.
Okay.
Aviation Gin.
There you go.
So that's going to save these people.
No, it's a pathetic attempt by these five.
Sorry that I have to say it now.
They are total losers because this is not, this is a one out of five star product.
It is bad.
It's a bunch of guys.
You know when comedians- Hold on a second.
Let me stop for you for a second.
Let me stop you dead cold.
Okay.
Since you're like the guy who invented the whole model of podcasting and you're probably the greatest expert there is, have you ever even consulted for this idea?
Which, as I heard on Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged, the reason, the only reason you're working with me is because you figured, you know, I'm gonna be in the industry, why not go to the guy and work with the guy who invented the industry?
Not because I'm talented, not because, no, it's just because, oh, he invented it, might as well hang out with him.
I heard you.
Fact.
I keep tabs on you.
Fact.
So, okay, now I'm going to have to do it to you.
I'm going to have to, unfortunately, I have to play a little bit.
No!
Yes, I have to play some of Strikes Back.
Is there a bonus clip for the segment?
Let me see.
Oh, there's a new, oh, episode one.
Let's see.
Let's do it.
And John's been on.
Let's go to the opening.
What would happen if five of America's top 11 most beloved talk show hosts all talked on top of each other for an hour?
We're about to find out on the first ever edition of Strikeforce 5.
Let's meet the Strikeforce, starting with the former host of the Late Show at Stephen Colbert from his headquarters in South Carolina, Stephen Colbert!
Hello, Jimmy.
It's an honor to be here.
This is where we should all applaud each other.
It is an honor to be with you here, Stephen.
Next, from his home studio in Long Island, where he stays up late every night recording himself singing along with the Bee Gees karaoke, the former host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon.
Hello, Jimmy Fallon!
Hey!
Thank you.
So happy to be here.
This is exciting.
Good morning.
Mentioned to the listeners for the purposes of this podcast, Jimmy will be known as Tammy from here on.
Are you getting the comedy, John?
Are you getting the humor?
Who are the other people?
Neighbor, fans of this show know him as the cute one, the Nick Carter to our Backstreet Boys, Unemployment Zone's Seth Meyers.
Seth!
Just so excited to be talking before 12.37 at night.
Say hello to the lady, Seth.
Tell us, what color are your eyes?
I looked at pictures of you for a lot of the night last night.
I can't figure it out.
I've been told ocean blue.
I mean, if anything, The writers of these shows, who were gainfully employed, and some of them wrote some funny jokes, they're probably sitting at home going like, I should be hosting the Tonight Show.
These guys are nothing without me.
Because they're not.
They have nothing to say.
They're completely uninteresting.
They're bland.
They're very bland.
The blandness comes through.
And who was the last one?
And for those who will criticize us, who say we don't need a show hosted by a group of four middle-aged straight white men, we bring you a fifth middle-aged straight white man, but this one is from England, which is an entirely different country.
He is the currently force majeured former host of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver.
Hello, John.
Hello, Kimmel.
At first, I'd say Seth's eyes are Gatorade blue, but, you know, reasonable people can disagree.
Also, I cannot believe you're the only one who gets to have a soundboard.
I didn't know we were doing soundboards.
That changes everything.
This is the level that these guys can actually deliver.
And what is Oliver doing?
He's not a late night guy.
He has a weekly show on HBO.
But he has writers.
Yeah.
Probably non-union writers that could sneak in.
Anyway, no, that doesn't sound like a good, like anything.
It just sounds like a bunch of, it sounds like a classic podcast.
It's a circle jerk.
It's a bad podcast.
It's a bad, bad podcast.
That's what I meant.
Most podcasts are like that.
Yes, many are like that.
Not all.
There are some outstanding products, but this is just... The sum is way down in number.
If there's a hundred really good podcasts, I'd have to think about it.
It's just so pathetic.
Really, it's sad.
And the sound sucks.
Of course.
Sophia with an F.
Has better sound than these guys who are all professionals.
And is more entertaining.
Oh yeah, she's much more entertaining.
That's for sure.
But you know, this is what's happening to the M5M.
You know that Drea Mateo, she was on the Sopranos?
She was, I think, one of the... She was the girlfriend to one of the mobsters?
Yeah, I don't recall.
Yeah, she's now doing an OnlyFans.
OnlyOnly?
An OnlyFans.
Oh, OnlyFans.
Yeah.
Taking her clothes off.
She's taking her clothes off?
Yes, you can join.
Do you have to take your clothes off to do an OnlyFans?
Uh, okay, yes.
You do?
Yeah, of course, if you want to make any money.
What if they just want to chat with a celebrity?
Well, if you look at the story in the New York Post, she doesn't have any clothes on.
Oh, okay.
That's interesting.
She does have her boots on, however.
She's got boots on the ground.
All right.
So much for the bonus content, everybody.
This is a Value for Value podcast.
Oh, my goodness.
I forgot to tell you that you can also follow us on noagendasocial.com.
And I do have a follow-up of our last conversation.
It's gotten pretty bad.
It's gotten pretty bad.
Now what?
Yeah, I'm now being accused of attempted murder.
Who did you kill?
Well, nobody.
It's attempted murder, so no one's been killed yet.
Well, who did you almost attempt?
Well, I'll just read it to you.
Tell me if you know what's going on.
You are sending your community to bother us because of some completely justified block by completely misrepresenting the situation!
It's the GrapheneOS people.
They're mad at me now for talking about this nonsense.
Oh, about them being a bunch of douchebags?
Yes, and because, uh, you know, I guess that the developer's being swatted or doxxed that... Yeah, well he was supposed to be swatted or doxxed or something before that.
Yeah, but now I'm complicit!
Well, see, this is the problem.
I can say that they're douchebags, but I've never been a member of the cult.
So I can kind of say whatever I want.
This is like being in Scientology.
You can say what you want about Scientology one way or the other, but if you're a member of Scientology, they'll go after you for being even slightly critical.
Just as if, for example, you were a member of the Democrat Party.
Yes, well you were!
If you quit the Democrat Party, I did, but I did it in 1980, and it's been so long that no one's ever associated me as a Democrat, so I can say what I want and nobody goes after me as a former Democrat, a quitter of the cult.
I haven't left the cult.
I was, for all practical purposes, never in the cult.
And so I can say what I want, but somebody who knew, or say, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's still in the cult and critical of it, they go after him.
You go after him.
The problem is, is that we have, in my opinion, only my opinion, I'm not a scientist, it's just my opinion from doing a podcast.
So I'm no better than those douchebags from the Strike Force Five.
My opinion is we have a lot of young men who basically were vaccine injured as children, received too many whatever, whatever was in it, and just too much.
More than I had and I didn't have anyone with autism around me growing up.
Now everyone's autistic and or has Asperger's or whatever.
Neurodivergent, I think, is the term that's being used in the case of this group.
And they go nuts.
They can't handle criticism, then they've been trained that you have to be a victim of your autism and you're a bad person if you say anything about them.
My advice, I gave it a say, here's some advice.
Why don't you just stop interacting with people?
Just don't reply.
Shut your social media off.
Who cares?
We want the operating system.
We don't know what... Easier said than done.
Not that hard!
It is for some people.
Right, but it's sad because it's just a bunch of vaccine-damaged individuals who now just call that autism and they're on the spectrum and all they can do all day is talk about how they've been victimized because they're on the spectrum.
I am neurodivergent!
Have you seen my Tourette's?
Yeah, you gotta, people have to realize how shaky this guy is I'm talking to.
Thank you.
Hey!
That's not nice!
You're being mean to me!

You can do it.
You can do it anytime you want.
Time, talent, or treasure.
One of the ways that people like to return Value to us is by creating art for every single episode.
Why are you laughing?
Because I was wondering how you were gonna worm your way over to the to the art.
Hey, because I'm listening you go on and on with your no no no and all that you hold the whole you have a patter and you're like you're like a really good at it and then you're gonna move you're gonna move to the art sometimes you forget but most of the time you don't.
And here I am.
I remember.
And I'm waiting to see how you're going to make the segue and then boom, there it is.
That made me chuckle.
I don't know why.
I'm glad that after 16 years I can still make you chuckle.
Yeah, you make me chuckle.
I've been with you twice as long as I've been with my wife.
Can you believe this?
And I made it!
Oh, there you go, ladies and gentlemen.
So we want to thank the one and only, the incredible value bringing, Darren O'Neill, who not only does the rock and roll pre-show every single two hours of
Top-notch quality programming on the stream before we start on Thursdays and Sundays, but he also he's in fact I think you said when we were looking at this at art and choosing this first you said there's only one because I sometimes are like I gotta go pee so I You'll start looking at the art and I come which is my code for him and get a glass of wine but I tell you I'm gonna go pee and then I come back and And then you say, Darren O'Neill is talented.
I think that's your exact words.
You said Darren O'Neill is a talented guy.
Yeah.
And he created the hot dog wiener plane.
With Hot Dog Boy at the controls.
With all kinds of surface-to-air missiles.
Wagner 33.
I mean, it had everything in there.
It was just so good.
And we love Darren.
He just nailed it.
He just nailed it with this.
There's no two ways about it.
Now, what I am seeing is a lot of people dumping AI art on us now.
We have way...
We're just gonna have, I've said this already, we just have to, we're stuck because this is, and we're a forward, kind of forward-leaning podcast.
Yes, we lean in.
And there's nothing we can do about this.
We lean in.
What do you mean by a forward-leaning podcast?
What does that even mean?
That means that everything that we do, we're ahead of the game.
We make predictions that are sometimes years ahead of what happens.
Yes, this is true.
And so, recognizing the AI thing, which was foisted on us by a comic strip blogger, which ended up with you banning his submissions, including the one we picked, which I was convinced was probably AI.
Which he then said wasn't.
He said it wasn't.
I still don't believe it.
Because he has a certain style, it's very recognizable, like most people that do drawing.
It's just, it's just a fact of life that we have to, we've, at least I've come to grips with immediately, not immediately, but within, you know, a couple of months of it showing up a lot.
It shows up constantly and there's sometimes there's too much of it.
I can't argue with that.
Yeah.
Well, there really wasn't that much that was any good.
There was a couple of Purgosians that were no good.
Trump.
No, there wasn't.
Trump's stuff was no good.
Darren's thing was head and shoulders.
Head and shoulders.
Above all the other submissions.
And I think when an artist comes in and looks at the stuff that's available, he has to compete with it because he's going to submit something.
And he sees something that's just, oh, fuck, they're going to pick that, I can tell.
Wow, dropping the F-bomb.
You know, so that may be part of the problem, but I think that what we're seeing now is the future.
The future of AI.
You get, you know, you can easily pick out the good stuff because you just look at it and it's like a wall of meh.
You know what I mean?
We've always had a wall of meh.
No, no, it's not like this.
It's a bigger wall of meh.
Well, that could be.
I mean, I'm just looking at it.
It's like, oh yeah, there's so much stuff that's very meh.
But so much is AI.
It's like, okay, you know, I wrote an article for Bitcoin Magazine, for the paper magazine, for the printed edition.
And they want me to write about Podcasting 2.0.
And I'm excited because I'm going to put in, you know, we're now doing with music and artists are getting paid.
And so, you know, we're basically revitalizing the music industry and bypassing all of the gatekeepers.
And so I have an outline in my head.
I'm not a writer.
You know that.
Between the two of us, you're the writer.
I'm a lover, not a fighter.
You're the writer.
And so I take my outline and throw it in a chat GPT.
And it writes, you know, 700 words.
And I say, I say, Tina, could you please, uh, could you please, um, you know, she calls it the Tina wash because she's a professional communications expert.
She's mad.
Right away.
She says, this is chat GPT.
How do you know?
Well, when it starts off with in the ever changing world of podcasting and, you know, professionals can see right through this.
Whether it's words, whether it's art, and we're pretty good at picking art.
It's crap.
It's meh.
It's just a wall of meh.
You said you gave her a chat GPT script?
Yes.
That you tried to pass off as your own?
I didn't... I just said, could you please... I didn't say, like, I wrote this.
She said... She called her right away.
She said, this is chat GPT.
She actually didn't even want to look at it.
She's like, I don't even want to write... I don't want to do anything for this.
I don't blame her.
Yeah, but I, but... So, but, is my point clear?
It's not that, for one thing, let's start off with this little premise.
People should all know this.
It's not that hard to write.
But, well, I did write.
It's just I wanted to be... It's, it's... Writing for, with a budget of words for a magazine, it's not easy.
That takes skill.
That's not what I do.
Can we agree on that?
Yeah, no, most people can't do simple writing chores because there's some daunting aspect to the length and they can't stop themselves from jabbering.
Yes, all of that.
If you're writing for a publication and you're, say, 700 words, which is very short, but say you're doing 700 words and you do it and you do it and you do it and you do it and you do it and you do it and you keep doing it and you've done maybe a hundred of them.
Well, it's like falling off a log.
Yeah.
You start here, and you end there, and you go run the word count.
It's 700 words.
It's very common that writers can do that.
But if you haven't written 700 words, then you have to, like, oh, I gotta write a 700-word essay.
I've never done it before.
Right.
700-word essay.
And, you know, you're never gonna make it.
You get to about 300 words, you think you're done.
Oh, no.
Oh, jeez, I'm short.
No, what am I gonna do now?
Why don't you throw that Vinegar book in the chat, GPC?
See if it can finish it.
I'm kind of serious.
I'm interested to see what would happen.
them the book is almost done okay all right let's uh look at the treasure part of uh the value that we received This is people who come in and would love the title of executive or associate executive producer of an episode.
And of course, I mean, you can send us $1 and you're a producer.
No one's a listener.
If you're doing value for value, if you're providing time, talent or treasure, you are producer of the NOAH Agenda Show and you should be very proud of it.
And we're going to start now with... Oh, by the way, thank you, artists.
Thank you to all the artists.
No matter how you're trying, no matter what you're doing, whether it's hand-drawn or... It doesn't matter.
We appreciate the effort.
All of it is highly appreciated.
You're all loved.
And we certainly love Dustin Sonderegger.
Sonderegger?
This is a new name to me.
St.
Joseph, Missouri.
Wow.
1888.33.
He's got some numbers to communicate to us.
Here's some numerology.
In the morning, Adam and John, I was hit in the mouth by a buddy of mine, Sir Blowback, B-L-O-E, Blowback, in December of 2020.
I figured I have listened long enough, I should share some treasure.
Please accept my humble apology and this small donation for you.
Can't wait to see this guy's big donation.
Please knight me, Sir Sonderreger of Bluffwoods.
I request some cold bush light and salty pretzels at the round table.
No jingles, but you could give out some Double Up Karma for all the listeners.
Happy to do that.
Thank you, Dustin.
We appreciate it.
You've got Double Up Karma.
Very nice.
Good start.
Good start.
We appreciate that.
Well, that's followed up by another nice donation from Adam Urbano from Apex, North Carolina.
Apex.
Apex.
1-1-6-6-6-9.
This is the guy who donated last show.
I think it was last show.
Yeah, twice.
With the two nights for his boys and the whole thing.
We're waiting for a note from him.
Telling us what the knight names are and all the rest of it.
But meanwhile, he keeps sending us money, which is fine with me.
Let's give him a double up karma for that.
Yes, definitely.
You've got... Karma.
Now, the double up karma is appropriate because I believe he's going through some custody issues and he'd love to at least have partial custody of his two sons.
Because he pinged me on X.
Are we going to just say X now instead of Twitter or the website formerly known as Twitter?
What do we say?
Are we just going to call it X?
I say Twitter.
I don't care.
All right.
So he DM'd me on Twitter and I said, Hey man, you know, it's like, that sucks.
Praying for your boys and for you.
So we appreciate that, Adam.
Thank you.
Yeah, we do appreciate it.
Alan is in Cumming, Georgia and sent us a note.
And this note is accompanied with 900.
Man, what a day.
Dear Mr. Curry, Mr. Dvorak, time to contribute to the greatest podcast is a handwritten cursive.
Time to contribute to the greatest podcast in the universe.
Please find the enclosed check for 900 for the value provided.
This should qualify me for knighthood accounting below.
Should it please the peerage committee, may I be known as Just Sir Alan.
What does it say?
Just Sir Alan.
At the round table may I have, oh I can't, five-way Cincinnati Chitty?
Cincinnati Chili!
Oh, Chili!
It doesn't say, it looks like Chitty.
It doesn't look like Chili.
Yeah, it's Chili.
Well, Cincinnati Chili's famous.
Hold on, I gotta write this down now, because I didn't have that on the five-way.
What is five-way?
I think it includes beans and cheese.
You can put a bunch of stuff on there.
So it's basically, Cincinnati Chili is, is basically, um, Hey, it's like ground beef.
It's like, let's say Texas, you get Texas style chili.
Yeah.
But let's add a bunch of clove and cinnamon.
And it's just really got the weirdest back flavor.
And it's very, very specific to Cincinnati.
Well, I'm excited because it's at the round table.
It will be here in just a moment.
In fact, five-way Cincinnati chili and sweet tea.
Please keep up the fantastic work.
Short notes save lives.
That's for you, Mr. Dvorak.
Be well!
Alan Cumming from Georgia.
Thank you very much, Alan, and we'll be doing the nightings, and it's all one break, people, so it's gonna be great.
It's gonna be very fun.
Okay, onward with, uh, what do we have here?
Gareth.
Gareth.
Gareth White in St.
Kilda, Victoria, Australia.
And this is actually $1,000 in Australian dollars, which comes to $6.46, which is still a good amount.
Yeah, and we honor that.
We honor it.
We honor it.
So he says, ITM gentlemen, birthday donation for my SHW spoken hot wife, Emma, for her 40th.
It's the ninth time on the 23rd of August.
Shh, we don't talk about that.
So she's been 49 times.
Yeah.
On the 20th, she should be 39.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah, that's Jack Benny's age.
On the 23rd of August, I know a belated gift, but we just came back from a birthday vacation at her favorite spot in Noosa.
Queensland.
I love you to the moon and back, my queen.
Can she be named Dame Emma Huntress of the Unicorns?
Sure.
Adam and John, thank you for all that you do.
Truly the best podcast in the universe.
A jingle request.
John Fisting Nuts always brings tears of joy to our eyes.
Cheers, Gareth.
Location St.
Kilda, Victoria, Australia.
Just go for it, John.
Tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane.
I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch.
Guy takes his bag of peanuts and throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist.
Around the nuts.
And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole.
And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist.
Then he does it again.
And he shakes and throws and shakes and throws.
It is annoying as hell to watch.
It brings tears to everyone's eyes.
Tears of joy.
Thank you, Gareth.
Yeah, whoever produced it.
I produced it.
You did with the moaning woman?
Where'd you get that?
Dude, I produced this- You watch porn, never mind.
What am I asking?
No.
Tina and I were just together.
Maybe...
A year or so?
And I'm in bed with a laptop.
I said, oh man.
This predates Tina.
This does not predate Tina.
She was there when I made it.
And I was showing off, like, look what I'm going to do.
I'll put all these sound effects and echo.
And she was like, wow, that's so cool.
Marry me.
Yeah, that's what happened there.
God, enough.
Martin Schels from Laber in Deutschland says, Danke für Ihre Mut.
With $500, thank you for your courage is what that means.
Since it was so short, can I read this next one?
Because I'm very proud of this one.
Go, go for it.
This is, ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, the famous Dana Brunetti!
Dana Brunetti!
Yeah.
And he sends in $333.99 and he says Gran Turismo, that's his movie, is currently number one!
So you know what this is for you!
You guys have done just a good job at promoting the film as a studio!
Thank you!
It's because of the No Agenda Show that it made 17 plus million dollars last week domestically.
And since Adam has been nice to me on the show lately, here's your cut!
It's more than mine!
That part I actually believe.
Yeah, could be.
I believe it.
This, combined with my previous donations and dinners and wine with John, probably puts me at Grand Duke or something.
But I'm happy with my title of Governor of the State of El Dorado, a safe state, unlike California.
Even though John's daughter and son-in-law don't trust that, John can explain.
In Hollywood, you're only as good as your last at bat, so I'm out on top, bitches!
Yeah, he claims to be quitting all the time.
Yeah, what's he referring to here?
His reference is that...
Brennan and Jay were up camping just north of where this theater was, and I said, because I was talking to Damien, and I said, can I invite them to the movie?
Oh yeah, there's enough seats.
And so I told them, you know, come down and watch the movie, because it's on the way back, because they were passing right by it.
And they never showed up.
And so I asked them about it.
They said, oh, we were we were afraid because we had all our camping gear in the in the car that someone was going to rob us when we were watching the movie.
And so I relayed this little information to Dana, who said, who just thought it was rather funny, because if anyone had been, you know, they don't break into cars and up there in the in the in the sticks, they kill people for breaking into cars.
And there's actual cops that get arrested and get thrown in the slammer.
It's different.
Jake Lydon, I know his mom, and we both know her mom, and he was on his way to college in Arizona, and he stayed, you know, he's on his way from Chicago.
He stays in a Hilton hotel, like, you know, on the road, on the way, puts his car in the garage.
Next morning, his car is gone with all his stuff.
The whole car?
Yes!
From the Hilton garage, everything!
That's crazy.
The world has gone insane.
Now, about this movie, Dana Brunetti, of course, is a super famous Hollywood producer who left Hollywood and he'll never return.
This is his last movie ever.
I understand Gran Turismo is now battling for top box office with Barbie.
Well now, yeah, Barbie's is lagging because it's just over the hill.
Gran Turismo, let's just put it this way.
Brunetti's not quitting, he's just...
Like, he's full of shit.
John!
F-bombs, S-bombs, what is wrong with you?
Who are you?
He is, uh... This movie is terrific.
If anyone, especially for you, I'd say it's a good family film.
Because it shows you, uh... It's got a lot of good messages.
This is a positive film.
It's a film... And I'm sure he got screwed out of something or other because he wasn't there at the end.
So, first of all, I think it's...
A great date movie.
I haven't seen it, but I know enough about it.
Great date night movie.
And if you had to choose between Barbie and Gran Turismo, hands down Gran Turismo.
Because it's real boys, real girls, real men, real women, real relationships, real life.
And it's a true story!
It's really an outstanding product.
I don't even watch many movies.
I watch them at home and it's like half the time I can't get through the whole film.
This is a no-brainer for attendance.
Now is it as good as Snowpiercer?
And it's on IMAX.
Is it as good as Snowpiercer?
Snowpiercer is a terrific movie.
Not a date night movie.
Thank you, Dana.
We appreciate you, brother.
thank you daniel mariano sticks on the list and he's in we like to we like to point out the fact that we hang out or hang out we were we're we at least associate with people that are above our ranks successful daniel mariano and flugerville texas actual success yeah yeah uh yeah He's in Pflugerville.
He came in with 333.69.
And he has a note, again, another one that's written out.
And it's actually on a piece of paper.
And you can tell because it makes a noise.
Yeah, because it sounds like it.
Yeah, sounds real.
This donation brings me to Baron status.
Nice.
My accounting is attached.
I'd like to be known as Baron Daniel.
I will choose a better title and territory once I escape from the greater Austin area.
No jingles, but I'd like some karma for my fellow Catholic producers.
Keep the Latin mass alive, people!
There's a message for you in there, John.
This is a message for the radical Catholics that are being watched by the FBI because they're doing Latin Mass.
Well, that's Void Zero.
He's all into Latin Mass.
Yeah, I've talked to Void Zero about it, and as far as I'm concerned, it's the way to go.
Then we have Stephen Draper in Stafford, Virginia.
No note, 333.33.
That gives him a double up karma.
You've got... karma.
Hey, look who's here.
Sir Kevin Dills.
We haven't heard from him for a while in Huntsville, North Carolina.
333.33.
Heath Hoe, boys.
He writes, there's work to be done.
Mr. Dvorak, more harmonica.
Don't encourage him!
Oh, no.
Don't encourage it.
No jingles, no jiggles, just karma, Sir Kevin Dills, Duke of North Carolina.
You've got karma.
Evan Andrew Norton, 333 in Austin, Indiana.
Yeah, it's a different Austin.
Evan here, not your typical swamp creature from little old Scott County, Indiana.
Been a huge douchebag.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
I've been a listener since around episode 10, but I've been a mouth hitter my whole life, the non-violent kind.
Thank you for your amazing program, fellas.
I just got back from my first Noah Jenna meetup in Greenwood, Indiana today.
Everybody was so friendly, unique, and patient.
I love the conversation, the people, and the food.
I will be back for sure.
No jingles, but I'll take general karma, please.
Check me out on Instagram!
At 5ks underscore 6 days, where I promote health, fitness, culture, and food, I've lost, check this out, 175 pounds in 11 months!
200 pounds overall since 2021!
Depression and Bidenflation be damned!
In the morning, sincerely, Sir Andrew Newton.
17 pounds a month is a lot.
Yeah, well it must be the Ozempic.
Future Knight of the Scott County Swamp.

He's in White Plains near Armonk.
We used to go shopping in White Plains at the Zare's.
We used to go there all the time.
At the Zare's in White Plains.
Yeah, there's IBM and the CIA in that area.
Correct!
Correct!
I have been on board from about show 1400, he writes, and have never missed one.
Good.
I'm happy to offer this first of many donations to the best podcast in the universe.
Obviously, I need a de-douching.
Of course.
You've been de-douched.
And maybe some shame for waiting too long.
Shame.
Shame.
Please send me some new business, Carmen, in the form of a goat scream.
I recently took over Cameo Auto Body.
Cameo Auto Body in Brooklyn, and I'm now off to a slow start.
It was my attempt as an exit strategy from the ATM business, which I can tell you firsthand, with almost 20 years of experience, is dead.
It's dead.
No one uses cash anymore, he writes.
ATM business is dead.
That's interesting.
But even with electric and self-driving car accidents, they do happen.
I would like to put an offer out to No Agenda Nation.
If anyone needs a dent popped or a bumper painted in a New York City area, come to Cameo Auto Body, 2002 Utica Avenue in Brooklyn.
And as for Richie, if anyone does Does he'll kick back?
If anyone does, I'll kick back a portion to the show.
Loving it.
Okay, that sounds good.
Richard D. DiPaoli.
DiPaoli.
DiPaoli.
All right.
Richie, ask for Richie.
All right, man.
Here's your goat.
You've got These are fun.
These are fun notes, actually.
I'm having a good time.
Jim Donaldson kicks off as our first associate executive producer from El Paso, Texas, with a short row of ducks.
222.22.
Hello, Adam and John.
Plus Gitmo Nation.
That's you folks listening.
Top of the morning.
I've been a royal douchebag.
So I'm sending a row of ducks for the lads.
Please hit my friends.
Oh, I can't read this.
Please hit my friends, Becca... Oh, is this the one that's handwritten?
Yes, handwritten.
Let me see what it says.
Please hit my friends... My friend Becca and Judy in the mouth.
So, I guess they're douchebags?
Douchebag!
And Judy?
Douchebag!
Uh, please de-douche me!
You've been de-douched.
And then I think he's asking for, uh... We all need, who need it, especially Becca and Judy.
They need a deducing.
Job's Karma, but he's not getting one.
Job's Karma for all, uh, resist we much, Reverend Al.
Oh, well, I can do that.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much.
About that, be committed.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
He's also known as TunaX12 on all platforms.
All platforms, all platforms, all platforms.
That brings us to another Brooklyner, Scott the Welder.
I guess you get together with Richie.
Yeah, maybe he could weld some bumpers.
Scott the Welder here.
Man, it was pretty cool when ComicStrip... Okay.
When ComicStripBlogger followed me on Twitter.
Oh, that's cool, man.
When ComicStripBlogger follows you on Twitter.
He's a No Agenda Celeb, baby.
At the magic number of 222.
Jobs Karma keeps on working.
My wifey hates your show of opinions.
But that last round of karma went right to her as well as well.
So she's benefiting but she hates the two of us for some reason.
That's a show of opinions.
It's a show of opinions.
Well, we have an opinion about her.
Shout out to all these Georgia listeners.
I love you all.
It's not my birthday, but give someone a biscuit anyway.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Adam Cover is in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.

First time donation.
Can you deduce me?
You've been deduced.
Can I get a shout out to my smoking hot wife Danielle as we celebrate our 10 years of marriage on Thursday the 31st?
Of course!
And they never had a fight!
We are on our way to the northern border.
Have you noticed this John?
I have noticed.
Over the past several months that people spell border, which should be B-O-R-D-E-R, as border, B-O-A-R-D-R.
I've seen a lot of this popping up.
I think it's the right spelling, because that's what they all end up becoming.
Ladies and gentlemen, John C. Dvorak, he's here all week.
We are on our way to the northern border with our six-year-old to see the big waterfall.
Wish us luck crossing the border and continue the great work.
And please give me some goat karma.
You bet.
Have a good time at the border.
You've got... karma.
Well, here we go again.

We will.
Love and kisses.
Christopher Adamson is in Woodbury, Tennessee.

Switcheroo!
Switcheroo!
This goes to his smokin' hot wife, Britton Adamson.
Alright, let me make that switcheroo.
Oh, Adamson.
Here we go.
Switcheroo.
So, Britton Adamson.
Alright, good.
Make sure we put that bold so we don't mess it up.
Please de-douche her!
You've been de-douched.
Oh, here we go.
I would like to add Sir T.J.
the Wrathful to the birthday list.
His birthday is on the 2nd, that's Saturday, right before mine, means he's a Virgo.
Ladies, he's a Virgo.
Please check out his podcast, Into the Doorful Verse, which I can recommend.
This is a family of 10 brothers, and they make music.
It's like the Value for Value Von Trapp singers.
And they do good music.
The Dorfels is a great band.
Call out my cousin Mike as a douchebag!
In fact, I'm gonna play TJ the Raffle and his Human Resources Everything's a Scam on the end of show mixes, which is... Excellent!
It's an excellent show.
Now, for the last part.
On the last episode, I learned that Adam does not like for us to call it a pod.
He is known as the Podfather.
Is he going to change it to the Podcastfather?
Thank you for your courage.
Keep the lid down.
It's a warm day.
Yes, everyone should keep the lid down.
She's got you by the balls on that one.
Does.
Hey, you got me.
What are you gonna do?
Well, first of all, I've never called myself the Podfather.
Other people have called me that, and it's cringeworthy.
Stop calling me the Podfather.
Call me the Podcastfather.
It doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?
No, it doesn't work.
Hey, stop doing that, smarty!
Okay.
Alright.

And then finally, from our associate executive list, and we are just going to go blow right through it, Dame Patricia, from Miami, Florida, and she sent in a handwritten note, which I have a copy of here.

two things i want to mention one One is a make-good note for Dame Sarah from the previous episode, 345.90.
My note got missed on Sunday.
The show was okay because it was read at exactly 3.33, but since it's a birthday note, I had to send a make-good.
The 345.90 was to celebrate the birthday of my smoking hot love of my life, Sir Zon's, better known as Rolando Gonzalez!
Yes!
End of Show Mixer extraordinaire.
It celebrates its 45th trip around the sun on Wednesday and the 90 cents is for 45 more without a fight.
I was happy to hear that you accurately stated we live in Houston, Texas because all of Orlando's End of Show Mixers have been living in Dallas, Texas.
Although I almost hate to correct the record because this always gets a huge laugh from all of us Houston listeners.
Rolando is the best guy a gal could ever hope for.
He works his tail off for her family.
We truly appreciate it and couldn't do it without him.
I hope this fall brings some relaxation so that you can do the things you enjoy, including making some more end of show mixes so that the girls have something to dance to.
And as always, thanks to you Adam and John for all the sanity and stability your show has brought to our family.
We couldn't do it without you either.
And then she does ask for a biscuit for his birthday, which of course we always love handing out.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
And I want to thank Cassandra from Candanavia, or former Candanavian.
Remember, I think she sent you a whole bunch of Canadian pennies and stuff?
Remember, did you get pennies in the Canadian pennies?
I never got any pennies.
Well, she sent me a whole Canada box.
Which is like, they got stickers, I've got beer koozies, I've got Canadian pennies, all kinds, and she sends me, this, she's the one that she and her husband collect classic muscle cars.
Holy crap.
What do they collect?
They have, um... Do they have a Hemi Cuda?
A Hellcat.
Ooh, that's a good car.
A Hellcat.
And, um... What else is it here?
I don't know what this other one is.
Beautiful cars, though.
Send one of those to the P.O.
Box.
Not one of those.
Just an idea.
Thank you all very much.
I'm going to give out a karma just for everybody who needs it to get out of this segment here.
You've got karma.
Andre Mackey turned 16 on the 29th.

Here you go.
Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma, come on up on stage.
Justin Sondreger and Alan, all of you are about to become royalty here at the Noah Jenner Roundtable, the Knights and the Dames, and I'm very proud to pronounce the Kate thee as Dame Emma.
Huntress of Unicorns, Sir Sondreger of Bluffwoods, and just Sir Alan for you.

It comes with wax to seal your important correspondence, and of course, with a certificate of authenticity.
Thank you for becoming Knights of Dames with the No Agenda Roundtable.
No Agenda Meetups!
We are winding out the month, so really only one meetup today.
The Mile High Five Eyes Burgers and Fries Meetup, which kicks off at 6.30 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.
And on Sunday, which will be my birthday, September 3rd, the annual Pig Roast in South Jersey, fitting, 4.30.
That'll be in Medford Lakes, New Jersey.
Contact the host.
I believe it is at her house.
Day one of the lengths.
And in Mexico City, the meetup will take place at 5 o'clock at La Cerveceria del Barrio in Mexico City.
I would love to receive a report from those guys.
And a programming note from the back office.
We've had several proposed meetups.
Like go to a movie, for instance, They Live, although cool for the 30th anniversary, it's released on September 3rd.
But these aren't really meetups.
So the back office is declining those.
Really a meetup is a meetup.
It's not a meetup.
It's a meetup.
It's not a movie.
And it's not definitely not a meetup within Burning Man.
No, that is the opposite of a meetup, actually.
This is not going to be done.
According to Mimi, there's at least five of these Burning Man meetups these people keep trying to put on the thing, yeah.
Really?
No, a meetup is organized specifically for the meetup.
Now, if there's a meetup and the meetup, like Indiana, and all of a sudden a Burning Man starts surrounding that meetup, that's understandable.
Breaks out.
Burning Man breaks out at the No Agenda Meetup.
That can happen, but otherwise, no.
Coming up in the next couple of weeks, Fort Dodge, Iowa, Rice Freeslums, Philadelphia, Fort Wayne, Anchorage, La Harpe, Kansas, we got Cincinnati, Ripon, Wyoming, Higginam, Connecticut, San Diego, Green Bay, it's all over the map.
If you'd like to really experience No Agenda Nation, really understand that there's people just like you.
They won't look like you, they may not sound like you, they may not believe in all the things you believe in, but they are just like you because No Agenda Nation is bigger than anything you can imagine.
These are producer-organized.
It gives you a true connection to the community.
It is an essential part of being a part of the nation.
And as you know, connection is protection.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
If you can't find one there, you start one yourself.
It's easy.
Always guaranteed a party!
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You wanna be where you won't be.
Triggered on health claim.
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
Like a party.
All right.
Let's talk a little bit about Ukraine before we...
Hey, how about ISOs?
Are you forgetting the ISOs?
I got one.
I got one too.
Oh, this does not bode well.
Where's your ISO?
I went through a lot of trouble to try to remember to do ISOs today and I... I don't even see your ISO.
Oh no, I didn't do one!
Oh, this is a problem.
Oh, I know what happened.
I have the lamest ISO in the universe.
I was counting on you, bruh.
Well, I was counting on you.
Here's my ISO.
LOL.
That's all I got.
What was that?
LOL.
That's all I got.
LOL.
LOL.
That's all I have.
Okay, that's what we have to use.
Wow.
Bad.
This is very bad.
I can't believe we're this bad.
All right, let's talk about Ukraine.
Ukraine is important.
I only got one clip, it's about these drones.
Now the drone story has been changing, and in the newsletter I constantly, when there's an update on drone technology, I put as much information and photos as I can into the newsletter.
And so now there's these new drones, and they don't talk about the details here, but play this drones clip so we know what the basis is.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian drones struck targets in at least six regions, including Moscow, deep into Russian territory.
This was reportedly the biggest drone strike in Russia since Russia invaded Ukraine.
One of the targets hit was a Russian airfield hundreds of miles from the Ukrainian border.
And at least four military transport planes were destroyed, confirmed by Russia's own state media.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said, according to preliminary information, there were no casualties due to the drone strikes.
Nevertheless, Ukrainian drone attacks on civilian objects confirmed the terrorist essence of the Kiev regime once again.
It's clear that Ukrainian drones weren't able to fly those distances without assistance from Western satellite information.
The Ukrainian drone strikes happened around the same time Russia sent its own devastating attack on Moscow.
It hit command and intelligence targets.
But Kiev residents don't seem to agree.
Humans do no such things.
There are no military objects here.
Nothing.
Just an apartment block.
Rest area.
The missiles fell in the park.
Ukraine's military said they shot down all 28 Russian missiles and 15 out of 16 drones launched overnight.
But Ukrainian authorities said at least two people were still killed as debris from the intercepted missiles fell in four locations.
This is interesting.
I know you might not think it's that interesting, but it is.
Well, it is interesting for a lot of different reasons.
One, the fact that these reports just don't make sense.
No, of course they don't.
But the other interesting thing to me is there's a drone that the Ukrainians have that goes 700 kilometers and is made out of cardboard!
Here's what's going on with this story.
We have the, what is she?
She is Hicks.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks unveiled the Defense Department's initiative aimed directly at countering the People's Republic of China's rapid buildup of its armed forces.
The United States Department of Defense is going to be pumping in billions of dollars in the next 18 to 24 months to build drones.
They see drone warfare, particularly water drones, where have we seen those before?
Drone warfare is the future.
And, you know, we had douchebag Schmidt, Eric Schmidt, We had him talking about it, and you know with all these drones, what they have in them as a special secret sauce?
Come on, you can guess it.
What is driving the stock market already?
What do we need?
What do we desperately need?
AI!
We desperately need an outlet for AI so all these bogative companies are now going to be getting government contracts for the biggest money sinkhole that we have, defense, to save all their butts.
That's what this is.
Oh yes, drones.
Look how effective it is.
Even a cardboard drone can go to Russia 700 miles.
Imagine if we Americans put some AI into them.
This is a money scam.
Surprise.
It's a good one too.
Surprise.
Well, speaking of scams, I gotta read this to you.
I'm gonna play a little bit of a trailer of a movie documentary coming out on Paramount+.
Sometimes in pursuing a curiosity about something going on in the world, maybe part of it is because you're looking to believe in something.
There are people that you meet who are the embodiment of that hope that you want to have.
The film we'd set out to make was not meant to encounter an existential threat to democracy.
Just a spirited story of a comedy superstar turned president.
Do you already know what this is about?
What other comedy quote-unquote superstar has turned president?
The Paramount Plus original documentary Superpower tells the story of how Sean Penn heads to Ukraine to learn more about community actors.
He's been working on this documentary forever.
Yes!
To learn more about comedic actor turned president Volodymyr Zelensky.
It was meant to be an amusing film.
It has turned into a document of history.
When Penn was brought in an undisclosed bunker in the presidential palace.
It's actually disclosed.
It's in the presidential palace.
The Russian invasion had begun.
Penn talked to President Zelensky as explosions rocked the city.
He became an inadvertent front-row witness to this historic David and Goliath struggle.
Through moments of levity, inspiration, and on-the-ground storytelling, it becomes clear that Ukraine's superpower lies in the strength of its leader, its people, and ultimately, its heart.
Stream the new documentary on September 18th exclusively on Paramount Plus.
Well, at least nobody will see it.
Um... No?
Uh, Paramount Plus?
Well, me, since the inception of that product, my wife has gone, I don't know how to even get this thing to work!
And nobody that I know of gets it.
I mean, the worst one is Peacock or whatever the hell that thing is.
I actually have Paramount Plus.
Good, well you'll get to see it.
Do you know why?
If you're going to watch that, I would recommend, you've already seen these, but people out there should go to YouTube and track down the Scott Ritter documentaries.
Oh, about Zelensky?
About Zelensky.
Yeah, it's very good.
They document all the houses he has around the world and all the rest of it.
It is, I would say, one of the top documentaries, and it's in parts, so there's part one and part two have been released.
I don't know if the part three has ever come out, but they're definitely, part one in particular is just a mind-boggler.
Scott Ritter on a Zelensky documentary.
Now it's time for our Trans Maoist Gender Update.
Self-destruct initiated!
Yes, we have some interesting things going on in the Trans Maoist Update, which goes beyond trans, but we like to talk about trans.
Just to see what crazy stuff is going on now.
The first thing would be this fabulous award!
Have we ever been nominated for a Streamy?
I've heard of the Streamys.
We should be.
Well, we're not.
I would assume that we, because of the quality of the product that we deliver for the last 15 years going on 16, I would assume that they would be recognized for a Streamy.
It's not that this is a slouch of an operation.
No, the Streamy seems to be only YouTube, TikTok, or... Here, the Streamy Awards is the fourth... Let's just call them the YouTube Awards.
No, no, no.
Because it's much broader than that.
The Streamy Awards is the foremost recognition within the creator community.
It is?
Yes.
Honoring excellence in a variety of content verticals and areas of expertise.
Content verticals?
Who talks like that?
Ron Bloom.
Content verticals and areas of expertise.
I think what this is, now the Streamys is produced by Dick Clark Productions and Tube Filter.
I think this is an outfit that tries to legitimize this type of content, that's trying to build an advertising-based industry around it.
Oh yeah, I can see that being an issue.
Yeah, it's probably a good idea.
I mean, you and I, it disgusts us too much.
But, I mean, in a world where we would want to make money, this would be a money maker.
I'm convinced of it.
And the breakout creator this year!
Breakout, breakout, breakout, breakout creator!
Can you guess who the breakout creator is this year?
Kara Swisher.
And the winner is...
Dylan Mulvaney!
You know, I'm really shocked because I thought the only award I would ever maybe win was maybe a Tony Award, but now I'm a musical theater gal with a Streamy!
Theater ticked off!
We made it to the mainstream!
532 days ago, I made a coming out video that turned into my Days of Girlhood series.
And my life has been changed for the better.
But on the flip side, there's also been an extreme amount of transphobia and hate.
And I know that my community is feeling it.
And I now know that even our allies are feeling it.
Oh, our allies are feeling it.
And I look around this room, and I just see so many amazing allies that have platforms, and I think allyship right now needs to look differently, and you need to support trans people publicly, and- And I think the trans community and the creator community actually have something in common, and it's that people often underestimate us.
But I know that we can stay optimistic about Just the future of transness in general.
Transness?
Because if we can influence people to buy $22 Air One smoothies, we can also do this.
See, that's it.
I just, I love you so much.
Thank you, thank you.
That's, that, I played this clip for that thing and that thing only.
Because what is happening here, Dylan Mulvaney, you are being abused by the people who run the creator community, which is Silicon Valley, to sell crap, to sell junk, to sell smoothies, to sell makeup, to sell wigs, to sell all kinds of crap.
This has nothing to do with your transness.
This is just to sell stuff to children.
Just the future of transness in general.
Because if we can influence people to buy $22 Erewhon smoothies, we can also do this.
I just, I love you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm gonna go have a beer.
And I love ya.
I love ya.
Well, I'll tell you this.
Mulvaney knows how to... He knows how to do it.
Just Mulvaney.
Mulvaney.
Mulvaney.
Knows how to do it.
No, it's hard.
It should be just Milvaney.
It's like a NASCAR winner.
You look at their patches when they come out, they put the mic in front of them and look at all the patches, and they're going to mention every one of them.
That's because they're media trained to promote, promote, and promote.
And is this talk exactly, John?
It's this talk exactly that you and I are having right now that is putting our country at a disadvantage.
At an actual financial disadvantage.
Because of you and I, my friend, this has happened.
Canada has updated its travel advisory to the United States warning LGBTQ people that new state laws and policies may affect them.
The risk level is still green, listed as take normal security precautions.
And the advice doesn't call out specific locations.
But when asked for details, Global Affairs Canada pointed to laws banning drag shows and restricting access to gender-affirming care for transgender people.
An actual travel advisory.
Canada's turned into the weenie country.
Who are they kidding?
Well, they asked Christina Freeland.
She's the, uh... She's the, um... She's in charge of this now, isn't she?
Is she the homeland lady or something?
Rebel News asked her about it.
She couldn't answer the question, but I'll give you a little bit.
It's kind of funny.
Why has your government issued the travel advisory for LGBTQ plus people to the United States?
And was this something you discussed with President Biden or your government discussed with President Biden first?
So, you know, as someone who has had the real privilege of serving as Canada's Foreign Minister, I know that our travel advisories are done very professionally.
We have professionals in the government.
Professional professionals!
This is proof that these people are dumb!
We have professional professionals in the government.
Whose job is to look carefully around the world and monitor whether there are particular dangers to particular groups of Canadians.
Change of podcast dangers!
That's their job and it's the right thing to do.
When it comes to the United States specifically... Um, um, yeah.
Uh, what?
I have personal experience of dealing with the diversity of U.S.
administrations and of dealing with American leaders at all levels of government, in all branches of government, and with Americans from Alright, I can't take it.
If you're in Canada and you want refuge, you can stay at my house for a while.
Please, leave.
I'll tell you this, here's the deal.
Leave.
Here's what they should do because of this tribal advisory.
When a Canadian comes in, the customs and immigration should punch him in the nose.
And then they would have something to bitch about.
And if you're gay or lesbian, you're welcome here.
Come on over.
If you're trans, fine.
This is lame.
This is really, this is actually, I think this is an act of war.
I think it's something that we should be complaining about, but let's go to California.
Oh, yeah, well, yes, send all your LGBTQ spirit, by the way, it's not just LGBTQ, it's 2SLGBTQI plus in Canada.
All right.
California.
They got that straightened out.
Yes.
Well, I've got to be official about it.
This is an action in California.
Trans in California.
This is from NTD.
A mother in Northern California won a lawsuit against a school district.
She claims her daughter was, quote, transitioned without her consent.
This comes a day after the state sued a Southern California school district for requiring schools to notify parents if their child identifies as a different gender.
And today's Ailing Aang has the story.
Jessica Conan claimed her 11-year-old daughter, Alicia, was socially transitioned to a boy without her knowledge or consent.
She filed a $100,000 lawsuit with the Speckles Union School District in Monterey County and won.
Wait a minute.
$100,000?
That's it?
Eh, lousy lawyer.
That seems like it would be worth a bit more.
And you know they can pay it.
It's injustice from the school that decided to try to transition my daughter behind my back.
This is so wrong.
And this settlement right here proves in the public eye.
According to Fox News, Conan alleges that the school district told Alicia she may be unhappy because she didn't know who she, quote, truly was inside.
And then she was allowed to use the boys' bathroom and male pronouns.
NTD reached out to the board members of the Spreckles Union School District, but didn't hear back by airtime.
This comes after Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the Chino Valley Unified School District on Monday for requiring schools to notify parents that their children identify as a different gender.
Chino Valley Unified School District Board President Sonia Shah has been vocal about supporting parental rights over their own children.
The board voted to notify parents within three days if their child wants to change their gender.
All it's saying is we're going to bring the parent in the picture because we do know, you know, from parents coming forward that there is these inappropriate conversations between teachers and students.
There is inappropriate things that are happening.
So to me, this policy made sense to put those safeguards in place to let them know.
A friend of mine who has a 13-year-old daughter in school, which of course is filled with liberal teachers, he's genuinely afraid and he monitors her social media.
She's not even allowed, I don't think she's allowed to take a phone to school.
He is so worried and he says to me, Adam, when is this going to end?
And I give him the answer that you have given us.
Is when these children who have been transitioned come back to shoot their doctors and parents.
That's when it will end.
Yeah, that'll do it.
But now we have people who are just afraid that this is happening at school to their children.
It is happening at school.
They should be afraid.
And John, I don't care about it.
You be whatever you want to be.
But this is the problem.
This is the problem with the trans talk in America.
This.
And it's still in the UK.
And it's still in the Netherlands.
It has not gone away.
There's too much money in it for the medical community.
Too much money.
Here's the second part of this clip.
I like it.
Shaw says she has received many death threats targeting her and her family and one person has even been arrested.
But she still pushes on because she has people who support her and are in the same boat.
Hold on, stop.
This is the school administrator who said, no, if your kids are trans or turning trans, we're going to tell the parents.
So she's getting death threats.
But she still pushes on because she has people who support her and are in the same boat who want to expose those targeting their children.
She believes that it's important to let the parents talk to their children when they feel upset.
But it can also be a very good thing if the parents are involved and they're part of the process, right?
Because they're now knowing that their child's talking to this person and I think that's very important to respect those different households' traditions or their values or their morals.
And if we try to be the ones as a school district to determine the, you know, the morals and the values, that's going to only hurt the child.
Chino Valley assured that the parent notification policy does protect students.
If they believe a student could be in danger, abused, or hurt by their parent or guardian, the district would not notify them.
So, meanwhile, the Attorney General of the State of California sues that school for this policy.
Can you believe that?
Unfortunately, yes.
Yes, I can believe it.
And Gavin Newsom has to realize that this is not helping his chances of becoming president, no matter what he thinks.
This is just hands-off, good to go.
No, I'm not done, but welcome.
Thank you for listening.
Tina comes in with my wine.
Are you done?
I'm still doing the show.
What's she rushing you to drink for?
She wants me to drink.
She knows who I work with.
Thank you, babe.
It's happy hour, babe.
It's happy hour.
Thank you, darling.
Get her out of there.
Did you hear that?
Get her out of there.
Thank you, darling.
You know what?
It is wine o'clock.
What do you got going on?
Wine o'clock.
You have a basset hound who needs to pee.
I've got a wife.
I don't now, none of the bats in the house are back where she belongs.
I have one last clip which I just thought kind of fits in with all this madness and this is the kiss, the illegal kiss in Spain.
Have you been following this illegal kiss?
Okay, yes, I have.
Another one of those topics I was hoping wasn't going to crop up on the show.
This is a great topic!
I wasn't going to introduce it, but it's the funniest thing ever.
Tonight, outrage growing inside Spain.
We cannot express our joy as women without having some man interrupt and spoil it.
As pressure intensifies for the head of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, to resign.
It comes more than a week after he grabbed the head of star player Jenny Hermosa.
Grabbed the head.
Teasing her on the lips as the team celebrated their World Cup win.
Prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into whether it was sexual assault.
FIFA suspended Rubiales for 90 days, and in the last 24 hours, leading officials from the Spanish Football Federation held an urgent meeting demanding Rubiales resign immediately.
It was an about-face for the Federation.
Days earlier, members applauded Rubiales when he repeatedly said, I will not resign.
Rubiales saying he was the victim of false feminism and the kiss was consensual.
Hermoso firing back in a statement, saying, at no time did I consent to the kiss he gave me.
This has now really turned into a Me Too moment for us here in Spain.
And not just as it relates to Spanish football and the women that are playing the sport, but also just in a wider scope of society altogether.
Meanwhile, the Spanish government has begun the process to try and force Rubiales out.
An unbelievable story.
This is a sports kiss.
You know what's funny is that the big question that is on everyone's mind is all these journalists, a lot of sports journalists, you know, the question has never been asked.
And that question is?
Was tongue involved?
Uh, this is a celebratory, like men in soccer kissing, the women want everything the men want, including pay, equal pay, but oh my goodness, there's butt slapping going on with the man, this isn't, this is a norm, and it was a big like, I love you, you won, you did it, and she didn't even look like she misunderstood that.
The whole thing.
The world is gone.
Well, I think there's a little peer pressure that got her all jacked up.
Oh, you think?
And it's Spain, for God's sake.
I don't know if you're familiar with the culture.
They're always kissing each other.
They're kissing each other a lot.
It's all over.
But I'm not going to downplay it.
The guy is kind of a creep, so I'll take the lady side on this one.
They got those great shots of him looking with side eye like...
It's a creep.
It doesn't help.
It's a creep, alright.
It's a creep.
Let's go with that.
It's a creep.
Alrighty then.
And who knows about what, you know, yeah.
Yeah, please.
We got to end the show, mixes from Phantomville, Toby and TJ the Raffle and his human resources on the way.
And after this, episode 93 of MoFax with Adam Curry on NoAgendaStream.com, the history of hip-hop as it pertains to today's world.
Part one is a part two coming.
It is a dynamite product.
I really enjoyed doing that with Mo yesterday.
And there's only seven more until we hit 100, and then we retire the entire product.

What was it like, the mushroom experience?
It's my son's son.
There was a delicious mushroom dish.
These mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties.
I can tell you.
Later, like, you're sleeping and having visions?
