The Sean Ward-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1680!
This is no agenda!
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's it.
Live from the heart of the Texas country here in FEMA region number six.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where we realize that four ways to pronounce Camilla and they're all racist.
I'm John C. DeVore.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's it.
It's so boring, but racism is back.
That's about time.
Where?
Racism has been gone for far too long, I agree.
I did a show with Mo yesterday.
Which show number was that?
99.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, that's almost the last one.
Yeah, we'll see.
What does that even mean?
Well, you guys brought... You know, Moe's, you know, has this rationale for wanting to quit, because he actually works for a living.
Yeah.
And he put this number at 100, but I just don't... I doubt it.
Okay.
I think you're both full of shit, to be honest.
Thanks.
Well, he said...
He said, it's all going to be racism.
This is it.
I mean, it wasn't that hard to predict, but he said that he took it one step further.
Actually, he, he says he knows who the VP pick is going to be.
Well, first, let me, let me just make sure.
Oh, well, I'm interested in this now.
Cause I wrote a whole sub stack on it.
Yeah.
What did you, and I saw it come through.
Uh, it's in my reading stack.
I've not read it yet.
Well, you should have read it.
I'm horrible.
If nothing else, it's for the unbelievable art that I got from Darren O'Neill.
This is Dvorak.substack.com?
Yeah.
The Oasis?
Right.
You can actually quickly look at the art.
I'm going to take a look.
Oh, yeah.
That's some good AI art right there.
It is.
It's really good AI art.
Yeah, yeah.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
We'll talk about it later.
Yeah, well I have some AI clips too.
Yeah, good.
So my thinking was, my thinking is that she should pick Shapiro from Pennsylvania so she can get that state.
Well... But he's Jewish.
Yeah, this is what Moe said.
He says, too much Jew.
She's already married to a Jew, there'll be too much Jewish.
Not gonna happen.
I agree with that.
I think it's Cooper.
You know, I know.
No, no, no.
He came up with a very surprising pick.
Which I had not thought about, but then I looked at the guy, I'm like, yeah, also the denials.
Here it is.
Okay, who?
Here it is.
So Governor Moore, as you well know, your name has been mentioned among many as a possible running mate for Vice President Harris.
Have you heard from her campaign?
And even if not, would you be interested?
So this is Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland.
Who has the look.
He's a Rhodes Scholar.
I mean, come on.
And so the question is quite clear.
MSNBC, Morning Joe.
Are you gonna do it?
You know, I'm very flattered that calls and encouragement continue to come in.
And I think people are paying attention to what's happening here in Maryland.
You know, if you look at just in our time in office, we've gone from being 43rd in the country in unemployment to now having amongst the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country.
We're at 2.8%.
Right now.
If you look at where we are in terms of public safety, Maryland has had amongst the steepest drops in homicides and violent crime in the entire country during that same period.
So I'm really thankful and humbled that people are paying attention to what's happening here in Maryland.
I will do anything to make sure that Vice President Harris becomes the next President of the United States.
I think it's that important to our state.
I think it's that important to our country.
I think it's that important to the fabric of our democracy.
I also know that I am in love with my job.
And I'm in love with the people of my state.
And I'm very happy to continue serving as the governor of the state of Maryland.
That's what you always say.
You always say, no, I'm happy with my job.
I'm happy with my job until you get picked.
And I want to be vice president.
He's got everything.
He's got arms, you know, bigger than my thighs.
He's got a, you know, a clean, slick look.
Nah, I think Mo's on to something here.
And he says that the only thing the Democrat Party can do is go full-on racism.
And you can only do that if you have an all-black ticket.
I don't think it'll work, but that seems what they want to do.
That's not gonna happen.
The Democrats are practical.
It's at that point.
And I don't even think she's going to pick the guy.
I like the idea.
I like it.
Let me just give you a few more points here.
Because obviously it's to recapture the black vote, particularly the black men.
That seems to be the problem.
Let's go to TikTok for a second.
Here's Will.
If the Democratic Party wants the black male vote, I'm not too sure they get it with Kamala Harris, but I know what she's going to do.
She's going to do exactly what the Republicans just did in Milwaukee with our sister Amber Rose and with Hulk Hogan.
Wait till you see the Negropeans who are going to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
It's going to be a complete circus.
I'm telling you what they're going to do.
I believe they're going to grab the rappers and they're going to grab the athletes.
They're going to find someone extremely popular.
within the hip-hop industry and the entertainment world to speak for Kamala Harris or whomsoever the Democratic Party convention nominates.
I promise you, because they have to outdo Hulk Hogan and they have to outdo Amber Rose.
And, of course, they're already reaching back to the high priestess of all things Beelzebub.
Freedom, freedom, I can't move.
Freedom, let me lose.
Freedom, freedom, where are you?
You might hear that Beyonce song a lot over the next few months.
The 32-time Grammy winner has given Vice President Harris permission to use freedom throughout her run for the White House.
Beyonce, who is known for maintaining very strict clearance guidelines around her music, gave quick approval to the Harris campaign just hours before she walked out to the song yesterday.
Freedom debuted on Beyonce's 2016 album, Lemonade.
And then here's Van Jones, who is ramping it all up.
You start insulting black women.
You hear that, John?
You're gonna see something you haven't seen before.
Black men are not gonna put up with that.
I was on a phone call with 20,000 black men.
That's some party line, man.
The word protect came up about a thousand times.
Protect this sister.
Protect this sister.
We're gonna protect her.
Protect her.
You're about to see something you haven't seen before.
Look, people messed around with Hillary Clinton and said a bunch of mean stuff to her.
Black men set that out.
We won't set this up.
So, I don't think that the Republican Party understands that all the work that they did trying to get us over there, two more days of this, it's going to be a problem.
Okay.
So, they're definitely doing the racism thing.
I understand that it's an off-the-wall pick by Mo, but I like it.
I think it will be great.
That's not in a million years.
Democrats aren't idiots.
Really?
They're pretty evil when it comes to this stuff.
I didn't say they weren't evil.
I said they weren't idiots.
They know they're gonna lose.
They don't know they're gonna lose.
That's nonsense.
They're gonna pick something to balance the ticket out, and Cooper's their best bet.
He's the most milquetoast guy that's not offensive.
Who's this Cooper guy?
He's the governor of North Carolina, and he's the guy who, which is a swing state, unlike Maryland, which is pretty much a red state.
Roy Asbury Cooper III?
Yeah.
But, I mean, they should pick Shapiro.
He's perfect.
Shapiro's great, actually.
He should be picked.
But they're not going to do that because I think she doesn't like Jews, or there's too much Jews, like you said.
And the pick that could be foisted on her, which is the laughable pick, is this guy Kelly from Arizona.
Now, from what I hear, That's who Obama supposedly actually wanted to be running the ticket instead of Biden.
That's just what I hear, so I don't know what's true or not.
What, Kelly?
Yeah.
Have you seen this guy?
Yeah, well, the bonus of this guy is he's got a twin brother, so he can campaign twice as much.
Well, that is funny.
Let's be honest.
That would be pretty good.
But he's, he is one of those bald farts that looks like, and I've described him in the news, in the Substack column as a marine drill sergeant type that is just offensive.
He's offensive.
And, and putting him alongside Kamala to be like a, or Kamala or Kamala or Kamala or Kamala, or Kamala, there's a lot of ways to pronounce her name.
She says it differently herself all the time, too.
In fact, she came out once, I would like for somebody to find this clip, where she was going on about how it doesn't matter how you pronounce her name, but everyone's all bent out of shape about the pronunciation.
If she's putting her next to this guy, that's just a bad look.
He's kind of young and vibrant, you know, and this guy looks like an old fart.
Just a grouchy old man.
And Roy doesn't look like an old grouchy old fart?
Cooper?
Not like this, not like Kelly.
Nah, Cooper looks pretty, pretty decrepit, man.
You know, old guy.
Hey, let me play a couple more racism clips.
And that's why I'm encouraging women, regardless of what your mix is, who you are, this is an opportunity to right this ship.
Okay?
This is very important.
Very important.
So she was going to poop in her pants to vote for Biden.
Now she's turned on him.
The thing I'm going to say is, listen, she is ready.
I'm sure it's a little freaky.
Freaky?
Because I don't think that she was anticipating this, but it's not like, it's scary to her.
She knows what she's doing.
And she's been there.
She's been like second chair to him through all of these amazing people in this administration.
And the last thing I'm going to tell you, you were wondering about black jobs?
There's one.
That's hilarious, Whoopi.
Now, you know, everything I see points toward trying to get the young generation, get them in on it.
And for sure, I'm hearing, well, Trump represents old, white, racist America.
Kamala represents something new.
This, by the way, from people who I don't think have any intention of voting at all.
But, but, you know, but it'll, it'll look cool.
And of course, she's completely using the Brat XCX Colors on our campaign and and you know neither of you had ever heard of What's-her-face?
Charlie XCX before, but we're getting an education.
And the Harris campaign is seeing growing support from an unexpected source, fans of pop sensation Charlie XCX.
We succeed when you're in the maritime that we use to.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
You think this is the end of the context?
I'm everywhere, I'm so Julia.
Of all in which you live and what came before you.
You're just watching one of the many edits of Kamala Harris over songs from Charli XCX's viral album, Brat.
Fans of the pop star say Kamala's energy matches the album's message of enjoying life in spite of the struggles that you're facing.
The clips caught the attention of Charli XCX, who seemingly endorsed Harris, posting, Kamala is Brat on X. So these memes is really the popularity that Harris has because she's so idiotic.
My stepdaughter came out of surgery yesterday, and the first thing she says is, do you think you fell out of a coconut tree?
I mean, that's how deeply ingrained these memes are, as reported by Reuters in the most boring way possible.
Give us some of these key memes that we should know about so we don't embarrass ourselves in front of our younger colleagues when they come up.
Users Calling Kamala Bratt.
And that is after pop star Charli XCX's very recent and viral album, also called Bratt.
And Bratt, the singer has explained via a recent TikTok, refers to, quote, that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and like maybe says some like dumb things sometimes.
Perfect presidential material.
Who, like, feels herself, but then also, like, maybe has a breakdown.
And social media users have taken this new viral album and really used it to show their support for Harris, calling her brat and stitching videos together, video edits of her being goofy, dancing, walking, deplaning off of Air Force Two to show that they support her and like her.
Yeah, but none of these kids, even if they're old enough, they're not going to vote for her.
This is a losing proposition.
But Reuters has more.
Coconut Tree, please explain.
That stems from a 2023 event that Kamala did a speech for.
It was a White House event.
And in that speech, there's a part where Harris is quoting her mother, actually.
And she starts off and says, You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
Over the past months, we've been seeing social media users taking that clip and stitching it to use in their own videos, either by lip syncing over it or using it as a sound, as a backdrop to their videos.
And it's actually been co-opted by a lot of Harris supporters online who have now taken to flagging their support for Harris via a coconut emoji and a palm tree emoji.
That's a winning strategy.
I think coconut emojis, palm tree emojis, that's gonna win.
I think your basic analysis that these people are gonna vote is right on the money.
Now, there's already a complete redo of history underway, which is just phenomenal to see.
This is your media deconstruction.
Where we all know that she was put in charge of the border.
Almost in a mean way.
We all saw it like, give that crap to Kamala.
Yeah, so Joe doesn't have to deal with it.
I agree, I agree.
It was done specifically to embarrass her.
And so the media, and this is short, this is a mini-cut, you know, about a minute, minute seven seconds, and it's only MSNBC and CNN, and it's interspersed of them calling her the Border Czar, which is exactly what she was dubbed, and now saying, that's not true.
Quote-unquote Border Czar.
Vice President Harris was not a Border Czar.
Meantime, Vice President and Border Czar Kamala Harris facing some backlash.
What he said about Harris and immigration was not true.
She was never appointed Border Czar.
And this will be her first visit to the US-Mexico border region since she was appointed as the Border Czar by President Biden.
People are going to have to counter the misinformation.
You already hear folks talking about the Border Czar.
She wasn't the Border Czar.
President Biden tapped Kamala Harris, Vice President Kamala Harris, to be the Border Czar.
Now, she wasn't the Border Czar.
That's what Republicans labeled her.
They were very critical of Kamala Harris, especially in her role as Border Czar.
Now what she's up against is folks lying about her border record, calling her a Border Czar.
Kamala Harris, who was appointed as the Border Czar.
The Biden team didn't declare her the border czar.
They wanted her to work on kind of the root causes of immigration.
There has been so much criticism against Kamala Harris.
You know, she was the border czar.
Calling her sort of the border czar, which wasn't necessarily the case.
So the border, if they weren't planning to address it in a major way, do not make her your border czar.
She met with some of the Northern Triangle countries, but nothing has effectively changed.
I mean, it's amazing.
Axios even came out with a statement.
You know, she was never the Border Czar.
By the way, we made a mistake.
We're going to correct that now.
We mistakenly called her a Border Czar, but we were wrong.
You know, these guys, it's always the same group, it's the Atlantic, magazines, CNN, MSNBC, and Axios to a lesser extent.
They're gaslighters, but it seems to me they're gaslighting themselves.
Oh yeah, they have to gaslight themselves into believing.
They're basically gaslighting themselves, and they're all in.
It's embarrassing to watch.
Yeah, but people forget, you know, people forget.
People don't forget that much, especially when you just keep hounding.
Well, okay, they forget to a point, but...
That's what advertising's for.
Well, this is what repetition is.
Just say, Republicans said that.
It's not true.
That's how it works.
It's repetition.
It's repetition.
Just say it often enough.
Now, the other thing that, to me, was a blatant lie was this.
She raised a billion dollars.
$81 million, $100 million, $121 million.
She's raised all this money.
Let's talk about the money for a second.
And I think it's kind of obvious what happened here.
This is on the media.
You can't give money from one candidate to another.
Very small amounts are allowed.
But you said it could go to the DNC.
Therefore, the money could end up in support.
Of whoever the nominee turned out to be.
Right, but then that money is not as valuable in the hands of the DNC for two reasons.
First, the DNC would not be able to coordinate messaging to the extent it uses that money.
It'd have to have actually like a separate group that would spend this money.
It's one of the weird quirks of our campaign finance system.
The other thing is the candidates get the lowest cost for commercials on TV by law.
And so the money is more valuable in the hands of a candidate than the hands of a party.
So it matters if it stays in the hands of the party.
And so the way I see it, I think, you know, there's a lot, I don't know if it's true or not, but there's a lot of talk about $50 million coming from one donor, which I think is probably true.
And then there's about $30 million that the DNC could get or can go to Kamala.
And then an extra million of people who actually donated, little $200, $50 donations.
That's how they came up with $81.
This is all marketing.
I agree.
It's all bull crap.
We talked about this on the Horowitz Show, too.
Yes, and I called him.
Which... That's funny.
Inside humor.
Where's the audit of this?
This is just a way to say, hey, look, the bandwagon is underway.
Get on board.
This is bullcrap.
These numbers are fake.
They're fake.
I think so, too.
I think so, too.
Especially so quickly before anyone got a chance to take a breath.
I have a clip on my play of Camelot.
This is, uh... You racist.
You racist.
It's Kamala.
Harris Bi.
This is the, uh, Harris Bi.
Harris... Harris Bi.
Well, well, well.
You know, I knew this day would come.
I knew it would come, you know?
I felt it in my ovaries and... I'll tell you something.
No, no, no.
This is one of those women on TikTok.
I didn't think that sticking all those needles in that Biden doll would help, but here I am.
She's good.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Now, I've been a little busy since the news broke.
And, you know, I was galvanizing with many donors.
And I asked my good friend Jean-Claude Van Damme-Pierre to help me with my acceptance speech.
So, here goes nothing.
Oh say can you see, okay, by the dawn's early light.
Jean-Claude, I don't want to talk about Don in the speech.
Okay, I think you're confused.
Yeah, hanging around Joe just really fucked you up.
Alright, I'm gonna do this my way, alright?
I got this far.
Okay.
America.
And Willie.
Get ready.
Because it is time to unburden what has been.
You know, I can't believe that all these women who imitate Kamala clearly listen to our show.
They must.
I agree.
She looks like she stole that.
This is S.D.
Pelti.
P-A-L-T-I.
Yeah.
And she's one of the, I think, two or three best.
She's good.
I would like to hear a little more nasal.
She's nasal, but I don't think she's nasal enough.
While we're producing, yes.
Well, what we want is we want some no agenda drops.
We want Kamala saying something funny about us.
That's what we want.
That's what we should have had.
We should have had that two years ago.
Yep.
Yeah.
And our girl fell through.
She said, yeah, I'm going to do it.
And then she never did.
Whatever happened to her?
I don't know.
I don't know.
She got a cease and desist probably.
Oh, that could be.
Did you see Chuck Schumer announcing his unwavering and enthusiastic support for Kamala, clinching the nomination kind of presumptiveness?
And the great thing about this, if you have the clip.
I do.
The great thing about this, if you have the whole clip.
I don't.
He says... It's grassroots.
Grassroots.
Yeah, I don't have that part.
Oh yeah, well he says it's grassroots.
You know, it's basically a coronation, but according to him it's grassroots.
Grassroots.
Yeah, but the whole thing, I mean, so there's an actual audience here, and then... Here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
I'm clapping.
You don't have to.
Oh yeah, the clapping thing, yeah.
It's a happy day, what can I say?
Wow, what a tell that is.
It's a happy day.
He's probably thinking, ah, that damn Schwarzer.
You know that's what he's thinking.
That guy's no good.
That's exactly what he's thinking.
A horrible man.
A horrible man.
I remember meeting him.
He was a very scary man.
Very scary man.
Really arrogant, horrible man.
Um, all right, let's talk about AGI Biden, AGI Joe.
AGI Joe, everybody, who showed up on our television screens and in all kinds.
Well, actually, yes.
Funny thing is I got a clip of the rehearsal.
You're not gonna, you've already had an F-bomb, you're gonna do another one?
Alright, this is on you.
This is on you.
It looks like I clipped this twice, but let's go with the hateful one, it's two seconds longer.
My fellow Americans.
I want to take a moment to address some of the hateful shit you've been talking about me.
Many of you have said I am suffering from brain worms, or that I have applesauce for brains.
Well, I won't miss a word, so here it is.
Fuck you.
You're all a bunch of faggots.
End of quote.
Repeat the line.
So enjoy President Cackles or President Booty Juice?
I really don't give two fucks anymore.
Biden out.
All right.
Very good, John.
We all saw it.
We didn't need to bring it to the show, but you did.
Of course.
No, so of course the President, air quotes, spoke to the nation yesterday.
Before we get to that, though, Kamala went to the Biden-Harris HQ and spoke to the troops, told them they all still had jobs, which is the real reason they were all cheering.
And this, of course, is the bit that aired Which didn't come back, by the way.
Like Lawrence O'Donnell, he did a whole segment on how awesome she is and how awesome that Joe called in.
And he didn't actually include this one bit, which everybody saw.
It is so good to hear our president's voice.
Joe, I know you're still on the call.
On the recording.
And we've been talking every day.
You probably, you guys heard it from Doug's voice.
We love Joe and Jill.
We really do.
They truly are like family to us.
And we do everybody.
Alright, so, I of course watched the whole thing, and this was so obviously fake, and of course by the time I went to look for it, people had already input this recording into Eleven Labs, and you know, it comes back, oh yeah, that's definitely an AI recording, but you can tell, because in no way Is this the Joe Biden who we saw before he went away?
Or the one we saw last night?
No, it's another guy.
Well, no, I don't think so.
It's a fake voice.
It's fake.
And we know it's not a phone call because all of his phone calls are done on speakerphone.
This was very direct.
That's a good observation.
I didn't notice that.
It didn't even sound like a phone call.
And then listen how the HQ lady, Joyce, I think her name is, how she introduces him, because he spoke before Kamala came up.
Mr. President, thank you for calling in today.
Over to you.
Over to you, Bob!
Hit the button!
I mean, who says over to you?
Who says that?
Over to you!
Listen, I'll cue you with over to you.
Okay.
Okay, that's good.
Julie, if I didn't have COVID, I'd be sitting there with you, standing there with you.
I thought his COVID was over!
Nah.
I'm so proud of what you've all done.
Now, also, whenever the audience cheers and jeers, what does President Biden always do?
He says, not a joke!
Yeah, he says it's not a joke.
He always responds, so he's either not, I mean either this is not a phone call or it was pre-recorded.
I'm with you, standing there with you.
I'm so proud of what you've all done.
He's not responding to the cheers.
He's not the typical... I mean, so what?
He couldn't hear it.
He just keeps on talking.
I'm out of people's hair for the next three or four days, but I'm going to be on the road.
I'm not going anywhere.
It's kept me away a little bit.
What?
Hold on.
I'm going to be on the road, I'm not going anywhere?
Yeah, but here's the real tell.
He rattles off a whole bunch of names of people who supported the fundraising, and not a single mistake one after another.
He hasn't done this in 15 years!
Yeah, I always kid and say I know I'm only 40, but I've been around a long time.
Not a joke!
I don't know of a better campaign organization than Grassroots Campaign.
By the way, I don't know if that's...
His recording, or my recording, but there was an obvious digital flubble in here.
I don't know of a better campaign organization than Grassroots Campaign.
You know, we have over 230 offices opened, we have over 2,000 paid staff, and we have literally several thousand volunteers on a regular basis.
Thousands of them.
And they've been relentless and tireless in reaching out and contacting voters.
The leadership of this campaign has been amazing.
General Mally Dillon, Julie Quinn, Michael Tyler, Rob Flaherty, Rufus Young raising money and so many more.
He couldn't even remember Lloyd Austin's name a week ago.
Yeah, the black guy.
Yeah, that black guy.
So all of a sudden he can rattle off these names.
Now we go to the Biden who spoke to the nation last night.
You know, you've come so far since my inauguration.
On that day I told you, we were stood in a winter of peril and winter of possibilities.
Peril of possibilities.
We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in the century.
Winter of peril, apparent peril.
It's not the same guy!
If it's A.G.I.
Joe, no doubt about it.
A lot of weirdness with this speech from last night.
He has a huge bruise on the left side of his chin, bruise on his left side of his forehead.
It looked like he had a fat lip.
His watch was an hour behind.
Do you see any of that?
No, I did not.
Oh, yeah.
You can see his watch.
It's an hour behind.
Insinuating that it was recorded an hour earlier.
Just in case.
His whole family's in the Oval Office.
His granddaughter's crying because they know it's the end of the road.
It's the end of the road.
But the guy that I saw walk up the steps onto Air Force One in Delaware, that was not Joe Biden.
He's taller.
He's taller than the other one.
Because he stands next to Joe.
Look at all the pictures of Joe and Jill.
And she comes up barely to his shoulder with this guy.
And which brings me back to the TED Talk from a few years ago of the CIA Chief of Disguise.
This was sort of the culmination of my career as the Chief of Disguise.
I know that once we did this, once we could create these, think of what we could do.
We could change you into anything.
We could change your gender.
A man into a woman.
That's a little hard.
Men didn't like to do that.
A woman into a man.
That was easier.
We could change your ethnicity.
We could change your nationality.
And the most fun thing we could do is we could make another you.
We could make your twin.
So there could be two of you.
We needed to find a donor who would kind of match your height, weight.
But we could make a second you.
And we did.
And we had some good times with that.
Now I know that some of you in this audience are already thinking, are they going to arrest her?
Is she in trouble for telling these secrets?
And you have to know that these secrets have all been published.
We've written four books.
They've all gone through CIA review.
The CIA has looked at them, including this last one, with all these Moscow rules.
CIA says they're okay.
So I want you to relax.
I want you to know that I don't have to kill you.
It makes me so happy.
I'm thinking that the Biden we saw go onto the plane where he didn't answer any questions.
His head wasn't even the right shape.
That was a twin, and then the guy who then later walks out with Jill and the press corps and the Rose Garden, that was not him.
I think the real Biden spoke, and everyone's sad and crying because the guy is dead.
He's almost dead.
He's dying.
What's with the bruise?
Did he fall down?
Well here, let's play this and maybe, I don't know if this helps, but this is the body language guy.
This is cut from a podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And this guy, this is long and interesting, except I just snipped this one little piece.
The last tip that we have are these rumors that President Biden suffered an undisclosed medical emergency during his time in Las Vegas, police sources say.
This was just today, just fresh.
We still don't know what has happened to President Biden, I don't trust that call.
There's so many things that you can do with AI nowadays.
I really don't trust that.
Having no Zoom calls and not having the person, I think this is all too strange.
But I would love to know what you think about this.
Yeah, you know, this stems originally from, actually, Laura Loomer, I think on July, was that 5th?
It was two weeks ago.
She was all over Twitter going, you know, there was a medical emergency, an Air Force One, and something happened to Biden, and she was saying it before Charlie Kirk.
He had some tweet that he put out, which Tucker Carlson read on his show.
This is from Charlie Kirk.
I got a weird- I'm reading this cold.
I got a weird lead on a story.
I'm reading this cold, so, you know, I'm Tucker Carlson.
People ought to look into.
I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro Police.
The official story was that Biden's trip was cut short last week due to COVID.
However, according to this source, U.S.
Secret Service informed Las Vegas Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest.
Then mysteriously, there was a stand-down order, and the Secret Service informed local Vegas PD that they were going to medevac POTUS to Johns Hopkins, which they presume meant fly him back east as soon as possible.
Apparently, the rumor in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or already dead, possibly.
I didn't think too much about this, Lee.
It seemed too wild to be true.
But given that Joe Biden has been out of public sight for days and dropped out of the race via an X post, and his brother James indicated health was a factor, I'm beginning to grow more curious if COVID or something else has been more serious than reported.
it.
Thank you.
So then, now you and I both watched this, I didn't clip it, but Brett Weinstein comes out and does a 12 minute emergency video from the woods.
He's in the woods.
Why is he in the woods?
Stop with the emergency video, people.
You're not that important.
An emergency pod from the woods.
And he's like, this was a psy-op.
They just wanted to be able to call everybody conspiracy theorists.
But Joe Biden's not dead.
He's not in hospice care.
He's the psy-op.
Weinstein is the psy-op.
Get with it.
This guy's no good.
Yeah, I think, listen to the CBS, it's three short clips, but CBS really is putting out the hit on Biden.
A massive earthquake in this already historic presidential race.
Good evening on this seismic Sunday.
I'm Nora O'Donnell in Washington.
Seismic Sunday?
Seismic Sunday?
with 107 days until Election Day, President Joe Biden announcing he is ending his reelection campaign.
The president released the decision today in a statement at 146 p.m. Eastern Time.
Mr. Biden saying, quote, it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president.
And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.
So that's the intro, then we bring in Nancy Cordes.
CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes is at the White House.
At the White House!
Oh, Nancy, what are you learning at this hour, Nancy?
Nancy, what do we know about how the President came to this historic decision?
Well, he came to this decision within the past 24 hours.
It has been days, if not weeks, of White House officials from the President on down insisting That he was in it to win it, that he was tuning out the doubters, and that he was going to win this race.
Until this morning, when we started to get word that potentially he had had a change of heart.
Right around 2 o'clock Eastern Time this afternoon, he made it official in an announcement to the American people.
We're told that just a few minutes before that, he told his senior advisors.
Before that, though, hold up.
In Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, he was there with just a few members of his inner circle, including his deputy chief of staff, his longtime right-hand woman, Annie Tomasini, two of his longtime senior advisors, Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti.
All those doubters, it appears, just got too loud, and he started to have a change of heart.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
And then she rolls out the weirdest piece of this report.
We got word, Nora, from the President's brother earlier today, saying that the President's health, he believes, was a factor in his decision.
But just a short time ago, I heard from a source close to the Biden family, and they said that Frank Biden, the President's younger brother, is an alcoholic, that he hasn't spoken to the President in weeks, and that the President's health had nothing to do with his decision to leave the race.
Let me get this straight.
So Biden's brother says, nah, his health is not good, that's why he did drop out.
And then CBS says, he's drunk, he's an alky.
That's really crazy.
Wow, this is funny.
Now I have to, I'll throw, let me throw another little, another bolt into the works.
I don't have a clip for it, unfortunately, but there's one rumor going around that some hotshots and the top guys, Donalyn being one of them, who... Donalyn is the guy Seymour Hersh thinks is running everything.
Right.
I read the substack.
It was good.
They went to Biden and maybe something happened in Vegas where it was, like you said, the bruises and it may have been part of this.
They threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment.
Kamala was on board and she was going to do it.
And even though it was going to make her look bad, maybe they could run somebody else.
This morning, there was a news article in the SF Gate that during this period, Gavin Newsom was getting phone calls that he didn't pick up because he was at the gym.
So it was possible they were doing something that was going to get Newsom in.
They were threatening Biden with the 25th Amendment if he didn't quit.
He quit, and then it took a while before he comes out and says Harris is going to be the choice.
They couldn't get a hold of Newsom.
He talks about it, I'm guessing, on his podcast, which he has too.
Everyone's got a podcast.
Yeah, hey, hey, it's my invention, baby.
It's good.
Yeah, the credit you get is not paying any of the bills.
Anyway, so there's intrigue going on, but I think this element that the 25th Amendment would have been dropped on Biden and he would have been humiliated is what's really behind, because he never says in that stupid little talk he gave yesterday, actually why he quit.
Well, he actually said, better for the party and then the country, which I thought was quite telling.
I thought you were for the country, bro.
So, Walter Kern was on Matt Taibbi's podcast.
That's a podcast thing.
Walter Kern, he's a screenwriter, I think.
He wrote Up in the Air, George Clooney's movie, a whole bunch of other... But he's on Gut-Felt all the time.
Ah, well, he overheard a phone call in the airport when he was stranded, and here's what he heard.
When I was in the Delta Airline Club Saturday in Milwaukee, waiting all day, hour after hour, for my flight to leave, my delayed flight, I happened to be sitting next to a major White House reporter.
Who, I won't name, but who was chatting up a storm for hours, one foot from me, giving what he believed to be the inside line from his White House sources to all his friends about what was going on with Biden.
And what he was saying was that Nancy Pelosi was taking the lead to get Biden out, that the Biden people were freaked, that there were two circles of them, the sort of outer circle that is completely in the dark, and the inner circle that felt incredibly betrayed and hurt by this, quote, orchestrated campaign to get rid of him.
Now, he repeated these stories to at least four different phone partners, and the common theme of all of them was that Biden was not going quietly, that he was indeed sick.
Uh, and that he was not sounding well on the phone in the conversations that he had had reported to him.
Um, but he was there.
He was apparently alive as of at least Friday or, you know, maybe early Saturday when this Guy was being told he was on the phone with Pelosi, etc.
And there were a lot of details in this, like Biden kept saying, I don't want to sit there on election night and see Trump win and realize I could have done something.
Now, that kind of jives with the 25th Amendment, because that's Pelosi's whole deal, remember?
She tried to get a resolution passed in Congress so that Congress could, the House of Representatives could be the ones to approve a fast track, yeah, all kinds of weird stuff.
Which is of course a violation of separation of powers.
It's Nancy Pelosi!
It's Nancy Pelosi!
So, let's go to CNN.
I like listening to Van Jones, because, you know, he...
He's funny.
He's the worst.
He's the best.
We also have Van Jones joining us.
He is CNN's senior political commentator and a former Obama administration official.
That's why I like him.
He was an Obama official guy for like two days before they jumped all over him being a fraud.
You and I were talking a lot about this dynamic and how this was ultimately going to play out when we were covering the Republican convention in Milwaukee last week.
And with this news, this entire campaign has just upended itself.
Yeah, there's a lot of political stuff.
Democratic Party is a family, at the end of the day.
It's a family matter.
You know, Joe Biden's body may not be as strong as it used to be.
His language skills may not be as sharp as it used to be.
His heart is as big as ever.
His heart is as big and as true and as strong.
And this is the difference between a politician and a leader.
He made a selfless decision.
And people are heartbroken.
Even people who are pushing for this to happen.
It's kind of like when your grandpa, you gotta take the keys.
And everybody, you gotta take his keys, you gotta take his keys.
And he's fighting, and he's fighting, and everybody's so frustrated.
And then you finally get the keys back.
I tell you, man, if my kids come up to me, my grandkids, if I've ever blessed with grandkids, and they try to take my keys, I'm going to pull out a piece, I'm going to pull out a gun and say, you can shoot them!
Step back from me, kid.
And then you just cry.
Give me my keys!
I want to keep my keys!
Because this is somebody that you love.
This is somebody that you care about.
This is somebody who was there for you.
You wouldn't be here without him.
And you have to take something from him.
Yeah, we need more metaphors like that.
Van, hey Van, this is great.
Van, more metaphors!
Politics is politics.
But this is a human moment for one of the great humans in America.
This is a huge moment for him, for his family, for all of us who love him, for all of us who wanted him to get across the finish line.
But if you're a young person watching this, this is leadership.
This is patriotism.
When you're done with that clip, I gotta follow up.
This is what it means to put the country first, and put the party first, and put the cause first.
When your arm gets tired, you let somebody else finish pitching the game.
That's what Joe Biden has done, and he's done that for all of us.
And so, I just wanna say, I don't know who's gonna be the VP, the non-VP, I don't know anything about politics, I just know that I love this man.
Non-VP?
What's a non-VP?
I don't understand.
What's a non-VP?
I don't know.
This man, it was painful every day to sit up here and talk about him like he's just a, you know, some problem for the party.
Yeah.
Wait till we get to the convention.
You're gonna see people crying, standing, screaming, cheering.
He may not get a chance to talk for 10 minutes.
We finally get a chance to put our arm around this guy.
You did the right thing for this country.
You did the right thing for this party.
All of us are going to be in this situation someday, and I hope that we take a moment to honor this man and to love this man.
I love Joe Biden.
I appreciate what he's done, and a lot of people are heartbroken today.
Even if it's the right thing, it's still just horrible.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
Big, hard, great guy.
You know, we all love him.
Blah, blah, blah.
Here he is in 2008 inferring or implying that Obama's gay.
This is what he was running for president in 2008.
This is great.
I know Barack got tested for AIDS.
There's no shame in being tested for AIDS.
It's an important thing, because the fact of the matter is, in the community, and the community's engaged in denial.
They're engaged in denial.
No one wants to talk about it in the community, and we do not have enough leaders in the community and outside the community demanding we face the reality, confront the men in the community, as well as the women, letting them know there are alternatives.
I just got to make clear, I got tested with Michelle.
When we were in Kenya and Africa, so I don't want any confusion here about what's going on.
And I got tested to save my life because I had 13 bites of blood transfusion.
I was tested with my wife.
And I'm sure Michelle appreciates you clarifying.
In public.
When you see it, is that as Biden's going off on Obama about getting tested for AIDS, implying he's gay the way he did it, obviously, is Hillary sitting, is right next to Biden, nodding her head, and you, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bathhouse Barry, we all know.
Let me go back to DeVan here for a second because he tells us more than he should.
To see what the reporting has been behind the scenes of Democrats who wanted him to get out.
On Friday night, the reporting was that he was seething over seeing big allies of Pelosi come out and calling him to get out.
Even upset, to a degree, with his former running mate, President Obama.
What he personally has witnessed in these calls from his longtime allies, people who certainly praise his legacy, but said, you know, it's time for this decision to be made.
But haven't we all gone through this with our own family members?
Like, yeah, he's hurt, he's pissed.
A lot of us wouldn't have careers.
I wouldn't have a career without Joe Biden.
Joe Biden picked me out of the puppy pile.
He's the person that everybody says you work for Barack Obama.
I worked for Joe Biden when I was in the administration.
I was on his middle class task force.
You know, all of us have known that embrace.
All of us have gotten those phone calls and those cards when bad things have happened to us.
So, you know, that's the family.
That's what it is.
You know, he's hurt now.
He feels let down.
He feels that his friends turned on him.
In the fullness of time, he'll recognize that it was done out of love and as loving a way as possible.
But at the end of the day, Some people, and I don't want to mention any names and ruin this day, but some people will back their leader no matter what.
Some people, they don't care how many people this man has hurt and how many laws he's broken, no matter how many bad things he's done, that's our leader, we're going to back him no matter what.
But this party is not like that.
This is not a cult.
This is a political organization.
And we believe in these principles.
And if somebody is sick, if somebody can't do it, there's no shame in that.
If somebody's sick?
If somebody can't do it?
What did Van just say?
He said Joe's sick and he can't do it.
Unbelievable.
Yet he's going to be president for the next six months or so.
I liked Mike Johnson, the Cheshire Cat.
No, actually, I dislike Mike Johnson, the Cheshire Cat.
I really don't.
Listen, listen to him.
Listen to this.
You've had interactions with the president privately.
Has he seemed cognitively impaired?
Yes.
I mean, look, I didn't want to come out and talk about, you know, personal interactions with the president because I've been concerned about what I just said about this projection of weakness on the world stage at a very dangerous time.
It's an interesting question, Jake.
If he's incapable of running for president, how is he capable of governing right now?
I mean, there is five months left in this administration.
It's a real concern, and it's a danger to the country, because on the world stage, our adversaries see exactly what all of us see, and that's a problem.
We're projecting weakness on the world stage, and that's why our adversaries are acting so provocatively.
This is of great concern to all the American people.
You've had interactions with the president.
So, I don't buy this for a second.
So you're telling me that Mike Johnson didn't want to tell anybody that Biden is losing his marbles because it was dangerous on the world stage?
Nah, I don't, this guy is in multiple camps.
I don't trust him.
Oh, I don't trust him either.
I don't like him at all.
But I, but I think he's right on that, on this count.
Yeah, but everyone was, everyone was saying it but Mike Johnson.
I don't know.
This stinks.
Stinky.
Stinky, stinky, stinky.
Well, he's greasy.
He's greasy for sure.
Um, I think we should probably just talk briefly about some of the... Well, a lot has happened, actually, since the Sunday show, of course.
Breaking, breaking!
And a good morning to you.
We're coming on the air with some breaking news.
The director of the Secret Service, the director of the Secret Service has resigned.
Her resignation coming.
Just one day after Kimberly Cheeto was grilled by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle during a testy hearing with the House Oversight Committee yesterday.
As you probably know, the Secret Service itself has been under intense scrutiny for the past week or so after last week's assassination attempt against former President Trump.
Yeah.
Yeah, she got out of that one easy.
If you resign as director, is that it?
Then you don't have to come and testify anymore?
That's it?
Not if you subpoena it.
Well, yeah.
Basically, we have an ABC version of this report.
Sources telling ABC News the Secret Service has recommended that Donald Trump's campaign stop holding outdoor rallies following the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
It comes just 24 hours after that blistering hearing.
You're full of s***.
today.
Bipartisan calls for the resignation of Secret Service Director Kim Cheadle.
Not only should you resign if you refuse to do so, President Biden needs to fire you.
Tonight, taking responsibility for the security failures that led to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
In an email to staff, Cheadle saying, I do not want my calls for resignation to be a distraction from the great work each and every one of you do towards our vital mission.
In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I've made the difficult decision to step down as your director.
Yeah, so she's out of the way because she failed.
She had one job!
Yes, she had one job and she failed.
And then Christopher Wray, the head honcho of the FBI, shows up the next day to testify, which got a lot less coverage.
Tonight, we're learning the gunman who nearly assassinated former President Donald Trump entered a chilling Google search a week before the shooting.
On July 6th, he did a Google search.
For, quote, how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?
An FBI analysis of Crooks' laptop found he did the search on the same day he registered for Trump's rally.
It references Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Investigators are still looking into whether the gunman hit his firearm ahead of the rally.
The weapon had a collapsible stock, which could explain why it might have been less easy for people to observe.
A CBS News analysis found Crooks fired eight bullets in less than six seconds before being shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Why was Crooks allowed to get off eight shots?
Well, that I think is something we're still digging into.
That's worth it.
That's a good question.
That's a great question.
Why did that happen?
Now, the thing that has bothered me and just as a pilot in general, but, you know, we have a lot of drone dorks.
Will is one of them.
We have a lot of different drone dorks in the No Agenda Producing audience.
And so this information from FBI Director Wray, there's a lot of problems with this.
We have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used.
It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab.
The drone... Did he say it's being exploited?
What he said.
It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab.
The drone was recovered in his vehicle.
So at the time of the shooting, the drone was in his vehicle.
3.50 p.m., 4 o'clock in that window, on the day of the shooting, that the shooter was flying the drone around the area.
About 11 minutes.
I want to be clear, but when I say the area, not over the stage and that part of the area itself, but I would say about 200 yards, give or take, away from that.
We think, but we do not know.
So again, this is one of these things that's qualified because of our ongoing review, that he was live streaming, you know, viewing the footage from that, again, about 11 minutes in around the 3.50, 4 o'clock p.m.
range.
Two hours before he's flying a drone in the vicinity of the route.
About 200 yards away.
Okay, couple things from our producers, boots on the ground.
Any drone, unless it was a drone from before 2015, which is unlikely because the kid would have been 11,
You can download the full flight data log in seconds, all you have to do is connect the USB cable to the drone fuselage, to a computer, you download it, very accurate 3D flight data log, which you can overlay on a Google Map, you can see this immediately, so to say that, you know, oh, we're exploiting it, it's all so complicated and difficult, but they obviously have the data, and they got it very quickly and simply, so Ray is full of crap here.
Because they know exactly where it was flying and they knew at what time and this is troubling.
Remember the temporary flight restriction that was put in place which is an aviation thing and so no plane or drone or anything can fly in that area.
It was up to a thousand feet.
That was in place from 4 10 p.m.
to 6 20 p.m.
4.10 p.m. to 6.20 p.m., Which is odd by itself, because if the former president was coming out to speak at 10 after 6, he really only had 10 minutes of coverage before you could fly anything you want over that area.
Which makes no sense unless Trump was late, I don't know.
But you'd think you'd have that TFR in place a lot longer than that.
And any drone, modern drone today, will actually not even take off.
It has all of them have to have this is all legal stuff.
The DJ DJI drones all have this too.
It won't even take off if you're in a in a in a temporary flight restricted area.
And it does have a transponder and it will ping and it would have been, you know, noticed.
So for this kid, he's now flying this drone 10 minutes before the TFR goes into place.
I just find that to be too much of a coincidence.
I don't like it.
And of course, this is the FBI launching some kind of Oswald conspiracy.
Oh, look at the CIA.
It's not us.
No, no, no, no.
He was looking at Oswald.
Yeah.
How far was this is?
This is so hokey.
It's so hokey.
It is pretty hokey.
Would you start looking at the details?
Yeah.
And to me, it feels a bit like Whoever is, you know, Satan, whoever is behind this, the whole idea... Satan?
Well, it's never one person.
I don't think Satan's really at the meetings.
His representatives maybe, but not Satan.
Yes, his representatives, I think, were at the meetings.
And the idea was, let's get rid of both of these guys.
Because why else would you have your first debate before both Conventions.
Makes no sense.
Zero sense.
Makes zero sense.
So we got Biden, so we had to show to the world Biden's a vegetable.
Okay, we got that done.
You know, we didn't even give him any, didn't even jack him up for 15 minutes.
Just let him go out there, screw him.
And then the idea is, I guess, to take out Trump so we could have, I don't know, Newsom versus Nikki Haley?
Well, it would have been Nikki Haley, probably.
She got some votes because she stayed in the race.
But I would say, I would say that you take out Trump and then Biden, who is sick and everyone knows it, would have then resigned because he would have said, look, I only reason I was in this race is because of Trump.
I could beat him.
I could beat him.
I beat him before.
I could beat him again.
But now I don't need to be here.
So I'll pass the torch.
Then he would have.
So the whole thing, whether Trump was in or out, if he was taken out, Biden would have quit in the meantime, and that was, I think, if there was a plan, that would be it.
Nikki Haley should have had two women, Nikki Haley versus Kamala or Gavin, but it would have to be Kamala because of their nature.
And the part of the plan that is still working as expected, Is to have so many holes, so let the internet go crazy about second shooter, third shooter, water tower.
That was ludicrous.
And I think that was always the plan and that's working very well.
People are so obsessed.
Yeah, I think they're out of control.
And if there really was a second and a third shooter, Trump would be dead.
He would be dead.
Yeah, he would be.
These guys don't mess around.
You can't have three guys shooting at you with long-range rifles.
No.
Now, I mean, it still could have just been a... I mean, again, I still think that this kid blew it.
I don't have the clip of this, but there was a couple of clips out there about how he did have a remote control device.
Yeah, he had a fireworks remote control with a broken antenna, as an aside.
But his pipe bombs were cardboard pipe bombs.
They weren't metal.
Uh, you know, we had the headlines, loud noises.
So maybe it was just to send a message to Trump.
For sure, Trump got a message and he, I think he responded to the message by saying, don't worry, big ships, Iron Dome, plenty of money to go around.
Don't worry about me.
Don't worry about me.
I'll take care of y'all.
That would be the response if you're smart.
Yes.
In subs that go deeper than any subs.
Very deep, very beautiful, beautiful, sleek, deep subs.
Very, very good.
And then just to add insult to injury, we've got now, all of a sudden you saw this cell phone data that was published on Onyx.
Now I don't, I mean, you know, yeah, you can get cell phone data, you can buy it on the public market.
So now we're showing that other cell phones visited the shooter's address, Crook's home, and then went back to D.C.
and were very close to the FBI office.
Yeah, that was that.
That was one of them.
That was one.
And another, another thesis that's floating around, which is that Whatever was going to happen to Trump, or whatever Crooks was up to, was going to always be attributed to this late comment that the Iranians wanted him killed, and he had three secret Bitcoin accounts, somehow, that were going to be attributed to Iran, and they were going to be able to go after Iran for killing Trump.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds good too.
I liked it.
I mean, some of these theories are at least fascinating if you're a writer.
Yes.
Because there's some plot lines and some very interesting analysis.
Yeah.
This always stems from the fact that you mentioned earlier that the lack of information and the lack of forthrightness with these testifies... Oh, total lies.
Lies.
All lies.
They're just making it up.
Now, I will say, I do have a couple of clips that I would like to play.
Yes.
Now, there's some really good super cuts of Cheadle saying nothing, and she's really good at it.
She's not good at it enough.
I was thinking about this.
She never was in the government at the level where she should know how to testify properly.
When they went after her, I don't have this clip, but when they went after her about the number of bullets, one of the Congresswomen said, how many bullets were there?
I can't say for sure.
It's an ongoing investigation.
And then she said, well, did the FBI tell you how many bullets there were?
Or shells, shell casings?
Which, by the way, I want to apologize for saying bullet when I meant shell.
Yes.
I got a bunch of notes.
No, it was a 22, you know, you said.
So, uh, because I said it was a big bullet.
Yeah.
And it's not.
It's a big shell.
Yeah.
The bullet itself is small, but the shell is huge and this would create a high velocity.
You got slapped appropriately.
I don't think so and let me explain why I don't think so.
If you walked into a room and somebody took a handful of 45 shells and threw them on the floor and you walked into the room and there's a bunch of these around and you said, what are all these bullets doing on the floor?
Are you wrong?
Yeah, but we were talking specifically about 5-5-6 versus 2-2-3s and 22s.
Well, they're very similar.
It's okay.
I don't want to get into it.
I just want to say that, okay.
At least we never say clip when we mean magazine, alright?
I mean, we try.
No, our clips are what we play on the show.
But we have a lot of people who like to make sure we're being accurate.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's not a bad mistake.
I apologize.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, mea culpa.
All right.
So there's this one woman that went on and on, but I still think Nancy Mace, who I actually kind of admire because she is like... Where has she been all our life?
All of a sudden she pops up and she does good stuff.
This is good material.
She's been around for a couple years now.
I've heard her.
They used to play her.
We haven't just played her a lot.
That's the problem.
I don't think so, no.
But she is funny.
She's in between Bobert and Green Woman.
Yeah.
And she's pretty, in kind of a big-jawed way.
She's good enough for a bit part in one of our productions.
Absolutely.
And so I'd say that she, and I think she's a little more That green woman, she is a little off the rails.
Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She's funnier, but she's nuts.
Now, this woman's... Now, I want to remind you that Marjorie Taylor Greene was your pick.
You were like, I like her.
She's spicy.
I do.
I still like her.
Okay.
All right.
You're calling her nuts.
It's not very kind.
Well, she's nuts.
She's kind of nuts.
It's not very kind.
But she's on the money most of the time, and I like her.
She's just a very... She's brutal.
Brutal.
There you go.
Brutal.
Yeah.
Mace is not as bad in that regard, but she's pretty straightforward.
Yeah, slicker.
She's slicker about it.
This is a little one minute 15 segment out of her five minutes that she had with Cheadle.
And this is the part people keep playing and they keep beeping it out.
And I think screw that, you know, you should.
There's no reason to bleep it out.
This is in Congress.
It's on the floor of the House of Representatives.
And this isn't CNN.
This is a podcast.
You stated earlier, Secret Service is not political, is that correct?
Yes.
Okay, would you say leaking your opening statement to Punchful News, Politico's playbook, and Washington Post several hours before you sent it to this committee as being political, yes or no?
I have no idea how my statement got out.
Uh-huh.
Well, that's bullshit.
Okay.
Is the Secret Service fully cooperating with our committee?
Yes.
Okay.
You say you're fully cooperating with this committee.
On July 15th, this committee sent you a list of demands of information that we wanted.
Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day?
Have you done that?
Have you provided a list to the Oversight Committee?
Yes or no?
I'll have to get back to you on that.
That is a no.
Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee, as we asked on July 15th, yes or no?
I would have to get back to you on that.
That is a no.
You're full of shit today.
You're just being completely dishonest.
Oh no!
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, I want to Mr. Chairman, we have to maintain decorum in this committee.
Decorum?
My pearls?
Oh no.
Oh no.
I have one more clip from Ray.
I think this is the JFK thing.
It's short.
Newly released body cam footage shows the moments after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Officers climbed to the roof to find the body of gunman Thomas Crooks.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about the shooting during a congressional hearing yesterday.
He says that Crooks conducted an online search about the assassination of JFK.
...on the same day that he registered for the rally.
Kirk's also shot and killed one civilian and injured two other people.
One of the wounded men was discharged from the hospital yesterday.
The other one remains in serious but stable condition.
The House passed a resolution yesterday to establish a bipartisan task force to investigate the attack.
Oh, Warren Commission.
Perfect.
Perfect.
They're pulling out old playbooks.
And I think this is the FBI clearly saying, oh no, this is not us.
You got a good CIA and the mob.
That's who killed JFK.
Cubans, maybe.
I don't know.
Nothing to do with us.
I'm sticking with the mob theory.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
That's fine.
I mean, what a week it was.
It was great!
It really was.
And then, of course, we got the, which is just like, we're just not going to talk about this cyber pandemic anymore.
We'll just let that go by.
You know, the CrowdStrike issue.
But before we leave, Ray, I do have two clips.
Oh, okay.
These are wraps.
Remind me to come back to CrowdStrike.
I don't have anything.
No, I do.
It's going to be hard for me to remind you.
I have boots on the ground.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's go.
This is the NTD raps of Ray.
I think they're worth listening to because they did a pretty good, as just a wrap, we're done with Ray.
This is N.T.D.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Now, among other things, lawmakers tried to find out why the shooter tried to kill former President Trump and what the FBI knew about him before the incident happened.
Here's how it went.
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it so far.
Ray told lawmakers that the FBI is currently looking into the shooter's personal devices, his social media accounts and more.
So far, without much success.
We do not yet have a clear picture of his motive.
You might see a manifesto, things like that.
We're not seeing that yet, but we are digging in hard.
Yet, we're digging.
We're still writing it.
We gotta, you know, put the lemon juice on it and everything.
We're not done yet.
We're digging hard.
Things like that.
We're not seeing that yet.
Yet, yet.
But we are digging it hard because this is one of the central questions for us.
This comes as newly released body cam footage shows an interaction between a secret service agent and local law enforcement shortly after the shooter was killed.
Yes, Baker County Sheriff, this is him.
Okay.
Ray explained why the FBI's investigation didn't make much progress yet.
He says that even after they got their hands on the shooter's phone, new challenges popped up.
It turned out he was using some encrypted messaging application.
Was this a pretty sophisticated or is this this is the kind of the norm you see with folks like you know?
This has unfortunately now become very commonplace and it's a real challenge for not just the FBI but state and local law enforcement.
Why not name it?
Was it Signal?
Come on.
Come on, tell us what it was.
You know, that's a good point.
Name it.
Why not name it?
What encrypted apps?
And what they should do is name the one with the backdoor, if they were smart.
Yes, everyone would go for that one.
Don't you think they would say, yeah, well, you know, one of the apps that we just have nothing but trouble with is blah blah blah, and the thing is totally backdoored.
And that's what you do, because criminals are dumb.
Yep.
Okay, part two.
One thing the FBI did find on a device tied to the shooter is a telling Google search looking up details of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
He did a Google search.
How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?
Hold on a second.
So... Now, I guess they did get into the phone?
I mean, there's so many questions that weren't asked.
Yeah, they had to get into the phone to get that search information.
Or, no, they just called Google.
Or just hop on the portal that they have.
Could be.
That is the same day.
I think it's harder for... It'd be easier if they could do it on the phone side because Google, I don't know, they got too much info.
They got loaded with data.
Yeah.
They're the partners.
Come on.
Ask Whitney Webb.
She knows.
She'll tell you the truth.
That is the same day.
That it appears that he registered for the Butler rally.
Another pressing question is what the FBI knew about the shooter before the incident happened.
Florida Republican Matt Gaetz questioned Ray on that.
No communication in any chat rooms, no CI's or confidential human sources of any interaction.
No, we've run a thorough search for the subject through all of our holdings and he was not in them anywhere.
Ray made it clear that investigations are still ongoing and that the FBI will disclose more information as the probe continues.
So, and I don't want to augment or change my initial thinking about, you know, the failed assassination on Trump.
You know, we had to change that narrative and that's why CrowdStrike was, you know, deployed something that would definitely distract, which it did perfectly.
Can you just imagine though?
Imagine, let's say the CrowdStrike thing was pre-programmed, or you know, it was like already set up to take place, and you had Trump dead, you have video non-stop of his head exploding.
I know it's a horrible visual, but... They wouldn't put it on the air.
We'd have it.
It'd be everywhere on the internet.
I'm not sure.
Well, maybe because of people taking these.
No, it'd be everywhere.
Everywhere on the internet.
Then we'd have the convention or not.
I don't know.
And then you have this massive computer fail.
The country would have been in chaos.
Which may have also been the point.
There would be guys running around with AR-15s all over the hill country.
They'd be shooting at everybody.
Yeah, you're a cop.
You're probably a part of it.
It would have been horrible.
Just imagine.
I mean, we don't really realize what kind of real disaster we avoided here.
Just imagine.
Because, you know, assassination attempt failed.
Everyone's cool.
There's no rioting.
No one's burning flags.
No one's burning down buildings.
It's all cool, all calm.
But if it had been different?
Oh, man.
And so I I'm not sure about CrowdStrike, but I do have some boots on the ground that are worth sharing.
One of our Knights is an employee.
He says, by the way, this is not this has nothing to do with a microservice.
He's being technical about it, John.
Your analogy still holds, but he's saying the Falcon is basically a rootkit you install on your machine, and one of the data files was corrupted, causing the code to crash.
It's not like the back-end service was down.
The file gets delivered over a CDN, a Content Delivery Network.
Okay, I'll concede that it's not technically a MSA product.
But he's not making a problem out of it.
Now he says, CrowdStrike is a very odd company.
I feel like I work in the alias or something.
What is the alias?
I think he's referring to the TV show that was on for about three or four seasons, Alias, with Jennifer Garner playing a spy that seemed to be working for the CIA, but it turned out that this whole operation was some other thing.
It was counter to the CIA and it was a very strange Show us what J.J.
Abrams' first big hit.
So he says he feels like he's working in the alias.
It's extremely compartmentalized.
I can't even see the Falcon Code as a high-level engineer.
During a call, a higher-level engineer made comments on Thursday warning an external partner we were working on a deal with that there might be a holdup.
He goes on to say, you are correct, in my opinion, that there's no way this update could, to the file, hit the CDN unless it was intentional.
Falcon is the oldest and most mature part of the product.
Basically, it's the part that runs in all customers' computers, sends kernel level back to CrowdStrike so it can analyze everything, all caps, that happens on a computer for ongoing attacks.
CrowdStrike doesn't only run on AWS, it stores data on its own hardware and we store exabytes.
So that's nice to know.
They store everything.
CrowdStrike itself sent out an update and they said it was a faulty testing software.
That's got to be a lie.
And by the way, they are certified.
They have a lot of certifications, but they have an ISO 27001 and 002.
They should at least lose that certification.
Because there's no... I mean, they're basically... They're saying, there was a bug in our validator.
Are you kidding me?
I mean, that's just gotta be a lie.
Faulty testing software.
Now, here's an off-the-wall one from one of our producers who runs an independent ISP in Los Angeles.
I think it's software, so IT service, not internet service provider, but IT service provider.
Well, we are quite small in comparison to the incumbents in our area.
About 80% of our customers are small and medium businesses, including one municipality.
Thus, we have some direct insight into issues like what had been happening the past week.
We are aware of the CrowdStrike incident, and something else seems to have gone unreported.
On Thursday afternoon, about 3 p.m.
Now, 3 p.m.
makes it 11 p.m.
Zulu time.
Is that 10 or 11?
10 or 11.
When the CrowdStrike outage did not happen until the file was delivered at, I think it was 4 a.m.
So this is at least six to nine hours, if not longer, before the CrowdStrike file was delivered.
So 3 p.m.
Pacific Standard Time, we began getting calls from clients complaining they couldn't do certain things.
Access their email, get to their SharePoint, and in one case, single sign-on with Microsoft 365.
Then we started accessing these clients to open support tickets on our cloud-hosted software, and we're getting 550 server not found errors.
These were all on Microsoft Azure.
And I have read this, that there was, people were seeing all kinds of Azure problems, and this producer says, it's possible that Azure was hit with some kind of attack, and asked CrowdStrike to push something out to fix it.
And either that fix took a dump, or it was intentional, because doesn't the government have all their contracts with AWS and Azure?
Isn't it huge?
I don't know this.
I remember they were fighting.
I remember Microsoft was fighting with Amazon and Amazon got the contract and then it got unwound.
There's been shenanigans, I do know that.
So whatever the case, this, I believe this to be an intentional action on CrowdStrike's part.
And the CrowdStrike chief security officer apparently was executive assistant director of the FBI under Obama.
He also sold 1,500 or 15,000 shares.
1,500 or 15,000?
Shares two days before this all happened.
Somebody knew something.
Well, that's suspicious.
Yeah.
Yeah, you should do one of your insider sales thing.
You never know.
Sometimes they're usually automatic.
These sales?
Slowly, yeah.
Well, that's easy to prove.
You can just see because he's been doing it.
But if it's just a one-time thing, then it's suspicious.
But there's just, even from our insider, inside CrowdStrike says there's no way this kind of a bug could, you know, this kind of faulty update file could get through, you know, through the testing, etc.
Whether that was a call that went out, hey, we've got to change the narrative, which it sure did.
And of course, as we discussed in the last show, because of EULAs and all that stuff, there's... Although there is a... Stek sent me a link, there is a class action lawsuit.
They're going to try and do something.
Good luck.
Yeah, good luck.
When has that ever worked?
CrowdStrike sent out $10 Uber Eats gift cards to everybody.
Which subsequently... Is that true?
Yeah, which subsequently... Well, thanks for nothing!
...were all cancelled.
People started to... went to Uber Eats to input them, and it says, uh, this has been cancelled by the issuer.
Oh, so there was... they didn't even send out the $10 thing?
Oh, you know what?
That reason... that was probably because it was an admission of guilt.
Oh, that's right.
Someone said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, roll it back, roll it back!
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Yeah, you have to be careful if you're doing admissions.
You know, this is the... I remember one time I got into a... It don't happen as much, but it's happened.
I got into a car wreck.
Was it your fault?
It was totally my fault.
It's the only time I know of since I was a little kid.
When I was in high school, I got into a car wreck.
Another story I don't know about.
What is happening to you?
You're regressing.
You're going... Your life is flashing before your eyes.
I got too many stories is the problem.
So I as I felt bad about this too.
It was like I'm in Arizona.
And I've got a rental.
And I'm going down the road just like a normal person.
This is another reason I don't like having phones.
So I had a cell phone in the car.
It was sitting on the passenger seat.
As I reached to get it, to grab it, because I don't know why at the time, I look up and there's a dumb girl who stopped in the fast lane to make a left.
Oh man.
And so I plod right into her.
There was, what was weird because I'm normally, I usually, my car's a Lexus.
Of course.
And the car I was renting was a Nissan.
Oh no.
This is one of the reasons I don't like Nissans.
I slammed the brakes on.
In my Lexus, I would have stopped in time.
But no, this thing didn't stop at all.
It just kept going.
You know, I just floor it, you know, and it doesn't stop.
The car's no good.
So it plows into her.
Boom!
All right.
And so I get out, you know, we exchange information and she's like, I don't know, she's a pretty girl too.
She's on my neck.
And she's, I said, you know, you know, I didn't, I, so I was the, I didn't pay any attention to the car in front of the car was just ruined.
And so, um, I did later.
I just drove the car and I drove it in to drop it off.
It's just typical.
I don't know if anyone's gotten to a car wreck with a rental, but it's like no surprise to anybody when you bring the car in and it's, and by the way, the airbag never went off.
That's another thing about this Nissan.
So I didn't have an airbag go off.
I think they take them out anyway.
So I dropped the car off and didn't think much about it.
But I felt bad about the girl, and I wanted to send her an apology note, and the lawyer for the insurance company said, No!
Don't ever make contact with her ever!
It's an admission of guilt, and they made a big thing about it.
So the insurance picked the whole thing up.
I guess they fixed the car, too.
I don't know.
They put an airbag in it.
I got a note from Brad after your Cannonspector story, and he says, Okay!
Enough is enough.
I am now convinced John is a time traveler.
Following his recent can-inspector story, this man has had too many jobs.
More jobs than a man of his age could accommodate.
I'll bet you $33 that if you covered a story like a nationwide tuna fish outage, or shortage, John would tell tale of his days as a tuna boat captain.
This man is truly the most interesting man on the planet.
A tuna boat captain.
No, but I knew a friend of mine who worked for me for a while.
Here we go, here we go.
Was a tuna boat guy.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in his car wrecking out of Arizona.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora!
When in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning We had 2,319 on the last Thursday show, so we're in the same ballpark.
It's good to have the Trolls here.
Welcome, Trolls!
You can join them at trollroom.io.
That's the No Agenda stream.
It's 24 hours a day, and not only can you join there, but you can also use a modern podcast app, which you can find at podcastapps.com.
Starting as of today, because these modern podcast apps, they don't just do podcasts, they also do live shows.
So when we go live, you get an alert.
Oh, the boys are live!
You click on it, boom, you're in.
Right there where you subscribe to the podcast, which you also get within 90 seconds of us updating it.
The Bands and Bitcoin is live from Nashville, and you can watch that live on these modern podcast apps as well.
Not just audio, but also video.
So, that's the revolution.
You can't do it on your legacy app.
Not with Spotify, not with Apple, not with Amazon.
Only in the modern podcast apps.
Now, along with everyone supporting the independent podcast app developer and that infrastructure which keeps this show on the air, we also have Value for Value keeping us going.
And the way that works is whatever value you get from the show, we give it all away.
I mean, it's everywhere.
We distribute it wherever we can.
People used to distribute on torrents.
I don't think they do that anymore.
What happened?
Yeah, I know.
Whatever happened to that?
Did torrents fall out of favor somehow?
Maybe it's only movies now, I guess.
Maybe.
Yeah.
They may have fallen out of favor.
Yeah, people used to love that.
You know, you can get it on IPFS, the interplanetary file system.
It's everywhere.
And there's no hoops or anything.
You know, you can listen as much as you want for as long as you want.
But at a certain point, you're like, yeah, I'd like this to continue.
That is when you need to deliver some value back.
And whatever that is, is how much you got out of it.
For some people, that's amazing.
The amount they get, the value they get, and what they send back, or what they do for the show.
People are hitting people in the mouth, they're organizing meetups, doing all kinds of things.
Time, talent, or treasure is the three ways you can send value back to us and let us know.
If it's time and talent, let us know what you're doing.
We'd love to know.
We appreciate it.
Of course, at this point in the show, we'd like to thank the people who supported us with big amounts.
Doesn't mean that it's more valuable than the $5.
That doesn't mean that at all.
But we're like Hollywood in that regard.
You know, we want to give people credits.
Executive producer, associate executive producer.
If it's $200 and above, you get that associate executive producer credit.
And we read your note, $300 and above.
Executive producer credit, $300 and above.
And those are credits that are real.
It is just like Hollywood because you can put them where the Hollywood donations are at IMDB.com.
There's over a thousand people already have done that.
Or on your LinkedIn profile.
Looks interesting.
And it could get you a job!
You never know.
It's very possible.
Won't hurt.
So let's start with thanking our artists first, because they definitely deliver the time and the talent.
And if I look at episode 1679, which we titled, No Jet, No Deal, and the jury is still out on whether President Biden got a NetJets card or not for his... Maybe that's why his granddaughter was crying.
We didn't get the NetJets card!
We didn't get a Jet.
We didn't get a NetJets card, Gramps!
Papa!
We had a hard time once again looking at whatever we could find for artwork.
Now there's a lot of submissions, which we love, and somehow correct a record that just hit us because you couldn't remember the name Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and you kept saying Baphomet, Which is hilarious.
So, it kind of worked, because we had, you know, Biden, the minute we started the show, that phony baloney letter with the Ford signature came out.
I mean, let's be honest, that was not Biden's original signature.
No, there's no way.
And so, you know, welcome, the corrected record made the sign.
Welcome to Baphomet, Delaware.
Endless discoveries.
Abandoned elections, ye who enter here.
And it was funny, and we liked it.
We did look at a lot of other things, though.
I actually got a note from somebody saying, hey, you gotta, this is not Baphomet, it's Rehoboth Beach.
Oh, okay, Captain Obvious.
Hello.
So there were a number of other things.
Now we thought, now we really liked Mr. Glitch by Nestworks, and that would have been the winner, but we had a unique opportunity because we found out about Biden's resignation on the air, so we wanted to make sure that it at least looked like we were current, which we were.
I love the people who said, I can't believe you didn't talk about the... Did you even listen to the show?
No?
Oh, okay.
What?
I didn't hear what you said.
No, people were tweeting, x-ing, slashing, saying, can't believe you didn't talk about Biden quitting.
Did you listen to the show?
And what do these people do?
They needle drop 10 minutes in.
I don't know what that was.
So Nessworks was a very close second for that reason.
We wanted to see if we could use something, and there really wasn't a lot.
Dame Kenny Benn, another fine Dutch master, had a pallet of cash with Joe, thank you, which I think the cash just wasn't clear enough.
It was too small.
Yes.
Honorable mention for Francisco Scaramanga's can, Inspector.
Honorable, very honorable mention.
That was very funny.
That got the biggest laugh.
It was funny.
It was very funny.
And by the way, back to the can inspector thing.
One of the reasons I had so many jobs is because I'm from the era where I worked every summer when I was in high school.
That's four jobs.
I worked every summer when I was in college.
That's eight.
So I have eight jobs right there.
And except for one repeat job, worked for International Harvester two different times, they're all different.
And so it's a lot.
You get good stories.
I mean, I got stories.
I worked in the Rose Nursery.
I stacked wood.
I mean, I got jobs.
You stacked wood?
Yes.
That was a very tough summer.
It was mahogany.
Firewood and they had these big orange bags.
They must have been, I don't know, by the time you fill up an orange bag, it must have been about 80 pounds.
That sounds like a terrible job.
Oh, it was.
You have to fit them in these, it was this really heavy-duty orange plastic.
I don't know if they exist in America.
It was in Holland.
And you could only, there were no handles on it, so you had to grasp it.
And so your knuckles at the end of the day were just, your front knuckle was just completely raw from trying to hold these bags up.
And then, you know, someone else would stack it in there.
You had to kind of do it like a Tetris puzzle.
And then together you had to lift it up and put it on top of the stack.
I mean, it was, it was a tough job.
I didn't know.
That's called hard labor.
I avoided those jobs like the plague.
Well, I thought the rose nursery would be great because you were just basically sorting roses.
It sounds like you're going to get stung a lot.
Oh man, you come home, your whole forearm was just all scratched up.
Well, you're probably immune to having any reaction to a lot of chemicals because of that.
That's correct.
Yes, I'm a very strong, healthy man.
Knock on wood.
Tantaniel, another Dutch master, did an exit sign at the White House.
It was the right idea.
That was usable.
It was usable.
It was usable.
Tantaniel also did a Harris-Clinton.
Like, no, that was not usable.
We knew that wasn't going to work.
Let me see, was there anything else?
A Biden ice cream cone.
The Golden Parachute, Matthew Drobko.
That's funny, but I don't think anyone would get it just from looking at it.
See, a lot of these times, people put the title under their work, and then it's like, well, now you get it.
But if you don't look at the title, which the title is never underneath the work when we post the show... Right, you wouldn't get the joke.
You wouldn't get the joke.
Was there anything else?
Hit the road, dirty Jersey whore.
Hit the road, Jack.
Some kind of macabre future home of Joseph R. Biden.
I used that in the newsletter.
Library, that was another dame.
The Dutchmasters, man, they are good.
We love them all.
And correct the record, another fine Dutchmaster.
I think from Leiden in the Netherlands.
Great job.
Great job.
And we appreciate it because no other show has this type of production.
That I know of.
I know that maybe... I don't think so.
And not with this quality.
Not with this quality, for sure.
I think the overall quality is very high.
And a lot less AI in general this last round, which I thought was pretty good.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
It was less AI.
Which is good.
We like that.
All right, let's thank our executive and associate executive producers, and we will start off with our top executive producer.
Like clockwork, he comes in around the end or the beginning of the month.
The one, the only, saronymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
We never understand his donation amounts.
They are always some kind of code.
I also have to talk about this donation amount.
You want to, okay, it's 2114.
We think it's coded, and so it came in as 2114.
When I counted it, it was 2112.
Oh, that's interesting.
When she does it, we always agree so we get the right number.
Yeah.
So she says, yeah, I got 2114.
I said, what?
And she says, yeah, I said, well, there was only one $2 bill.
She says, no, there were two.
The $2 bills were stuck together.
So like, you know, when you get fresh bills, these are fresh.
He always sends cash.
And so the $2 bills, I counted it twice and that $2 bill kept coming out as one bill.
You know, interesting.
And so it's possible that he really sent because 2-1-1-2 makes more sense to me because it's a palindrome.
Right.
It's possible that he didn't know.
So something could go wrong.
So whatever the code is out there, it could be 2-1-1-2 or 2-1-1-4.
I hope no one pushed the button yet because it could have been a 21-12 code.
It could be 21-14.
Either way, it's a lot.
And we really appreciate you, Sir Onimus of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia.
And he sent the following note.
He always has a printed note.
Thank you to all old and new producers for making this a valuable source of information, perspective, and insight.
.
Keeping my letter short as I have no insight into whatever is going on in the U.S.
politics.
The gods must be crazy!
No jingles, no karma.
Seronomous, thank you.
You are a real mensch.
Well, I prefer it when he has these observational notes.
They're always very educational.
He must be traveling, so I'm sure he'll have something next month for us.
I think he's always traveling.
Yeah, but he must be somewhere where he's a little cut off.
Birmingham, Alabama is the next site of Craig Bayless.
He comes with 72424.
John and Adam, thank you so much for the sanity you provide this community, all uppercase.
In these times, we need you more than ever!
Okay, we'll take that.
Please reconsider four more years!
If 2028 looks like 2024 or 2020, my Ducks and Bones donation, 72424, Ducks and Bones, did not catch on, poor, oh, okay, I can't remember what that donation was.
Catch on for poor Phoebe, so please apply this for her damehood.
I think this may put her over the top.
Also, shout out to any producers like in the Orange Beach, Alabama area that want to do a meetup.
There will be at least two of you if you post one on the meetups.
Okay, and no jingles, no karma from Craig.
All right, Craig.
Thank you very much.
Nice number, brother.
I appreciate that.
On to William Levenberg.
He's in Los Angeles, California.
350 and 58.
Fourth time executive producer.
Send jobs, Karma, as well as crypto trading, Karma, so I can donate more money to the best pod in the universe.
They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Karma.
Now we have virtuoso guitarist Jackie Green in Orangevale, California.
Jackie Green.
Jackie Green.
350.
And he just has a short, simple note.
Keep up the good work, boys!
Aw, thank you, Jackie.
Harjeet Dosanjh.
Dosanjh.
Do you think that's how I pronounce it?
In California there?
Is it Friant or Friant's California?
Friant, I guess.
I don't know.
I've never heard of it.
Harjeet.
And I don't know how to pronounce his name either.
So Harjeet says, in the morning, John Adam, my husband Raj Dosanjh has been listening to your show since 2009 and he's an executive producer and regularly monthly donor.
I would listen in the car when we took road trips together and he loves your show.
Well, after all these years, I finally got hit in the mouth and now I listen to No Agenda on my own and I also love it!
You guys are amazing, and I value the show, so I'm making my own donation.
Please add me to the birthday list, turning 57 on July 27th.
Okay, you're on it.
We value the wonderful work you both do for all of us hard-working Americans.
Give me some goat karma, and I'll bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again, eh?
Thank you!
In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb them, and then bomb them again.
You've got karma.
Eric Jan Nomen in The Hague.
Nomen.
Nomen.
Eric Jan Nomen.
Uh, in The Hague in the Netherlands, uh, 333.33 in the morning.
John and Adam, I've had some health issues the last couple of months, but those are now fixed.
Good.
So here's a donation to celebrate.
Jingles, don't enslave me.
Camela and an- Don't enslave me, Camela.
And an F cancer, please, sir.
Manila envelope in The Hague, Netherlands.
Don't enslave me, Camela!
You've got karma.
Yes, and before we move on, we got a sad note that we were looking for Dame Elise Garling, our Lee Mancello producer.
Dame?
Yes.
And it seems that her breast cancer has returned, and there's a GoFundMe.
I'll put that in the show notes.
But I want to give her some karma as well.
And I'm going to give her some F-cancer karma, because that's horrible.
And she had beaten it, so she can beat it again.
You've got karma.
And of course I prayed for her.
Helps even more.
Dame Mama Susan.
Escondido, California.
333.33.
Hey, Dame Mama Susan of the North County San Diego here.
I'd like to do a belated birthday switcheroo for my son, James Beals, and go towards his knighthood.
XXOO.
All right.
Dame Mama, James Beals it is.
James Beals.
And he's on the list.
I'm going to go to Dixie, Washington, and Sir Dr. 1% Baron of Liberland, which is Washington State.
Dixie, Oklahoma.
Dixie, Washington, sorry.
333.33.
You've got some jingle requests right at the top.
Trump, it's hard to get it aroused.
George Bush, send your cash.
And a goat scream.
Greetings, fellas.
And all of Gitmo Nation, I'm back to kick the sad puppy with 333.33 of treasure.
My last donation was October 28th of last year in keeping with my practice of setting aside 1% of my gross business revenue for no agenda.
Thank you.
It has taken this long to climb out of the student loan debt I incurred securing my PhD in media deconstruction before I Yes.
Before amassing another executive producer chunk of change, I received zero help from the Biden installation and my education debt.
So add that to the malarkey spewing from the fire hose of lies.
Uh, thank you again for all you do.
When you hear from me next, I will be claiming the title of Viscount, faithfully suppressing your exit strategy 1% at a time with no federal subsidies.
Sir Dr. 1%, Baron of Liberland, Dixie, Washington.
It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
You've got Thank you, sir, Dr. 1%.
Mind Cosmos is in bad Bellingen.
Oh, it's Germany.
Bad Bellingen.
Bad Bellingen.
Bad Bellingen in Deutschland.
Hello, Deutschland.
Here's the Hof.
333, Mein Cosmos.
Dear John Adam, though I don't always share your perspective on reality, I do appreciate and learn from it.
No jingles, no karma, but please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
And he goes on to say, Aloha!
Lukas, a.k.a.
Mind Cosmos.
P.S.
Sumo is awesome.
Awesome.
Awesome.
And, uh, Tarana Fuji.
Tarana Fuji is still, uh... Still going strong?
Yeah, the Yakuzuna.
Sir Skip Logic in Spring Hill, Tennessee, 26559.
65th birthday, you're in the list, and I beat Medicare Donation.
Which refers to a Joe Bidenism.
65.
Thanks for insight and entertainment.
Moving Karma requested Sir Skip Logic in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Moving Karma.
You've got Karma.
And we're into the Executive, Associate Executive Producers here with Candice May and Nelson, British Columbia, Candanavia, 233.
By the way, I want to mention this before I forget.
We're moving her, that comes out to 320 bucks, I believe.
She moves up, yep.
So she gets moved up to executive producer.
Thank you very much, Candice.
You'll be credited properly.
And it's also, it's actually a switcheroo because this donation will be dedicated to Craig Seedhouse for his birthday on July 24th.
So Craig will receive an executive producership for episode 1680.
Happy birthday, Craig.
Thanks for everything.
XO, Candice.
Casey Van Heel in Columbus, Ohio 21060.
Uh, Casey Van Heel here.
Long-time listener and first-time caller.
Mainly because I've screwed up the note every other time.
For comic books that get results, look no further than...
Personalmeritcomics.com for all your action, excitement, and comedic comic book needs.
That's personal, personofmeritcomics.com, person of merit.
May I get an F-cancer chromophore?
It's kind of a takeoff on Linda Lou Patkin, obviously.
May I get an F with a K?
Or with a C?
May I get an F Cancer Karma for my mother in remission and my father still in the fight?
He's tougher than a $2 steak, but extra karma love is always appreciated.
For jingles, in honor of the moneyed elite's rousting of Sleepy Joe, may I request Howard Dean Scream, Goat Scream, F-16 Scream, capped with Joe Biden or JCDF.
I got hairy legs!
I dub this combo the Song of Baphomet.
May this goat-throated choir carry Joe toward the Valhalla of becoming the answer to the semi-difficult Trivial Pursuit question.
Thank you for everything you do, fellas.
Casey Van Heel, person of merit.
P.S.
Adam, could you point me to where I could find your P.O.
Box address?
I'd hate to be dis- To deprive the library.
Oh, she's got something for you.
Oh, yes.
It's very easy.
It's very easy.
It's P.O.
Box 1849, like the 49ers in California, 1849 in Fredericksburg, Texas.
78624.
OK, so after you hear the... That's when you do the hairy legs.
So stand by.
What in the world is this?
I got hairy legs!
You've got karma.
Yes, the song of Baphomet.
Beautiful.
Eli the Coffee Guy comes in with 207.25 from Bensonville, Illinois in the morning.
We are sending this message from the Northwoods.
Enjoying nature, breathing fresh air, and watching eagles fly overhead.
I think they soar.
Between the assassination attempt on DJT and the media being on a full frontal offensive to shove Kamala down our throats, it's good to take a break and unplug sometimes.
Nothing like a cold beer while fishing on a quiet lake, and of course, a hot cup of coffee on a brisk morning.
Can I get travel karma for everyone out there trying to get away for a mid-summer break?
And visit GigaWattCoffeeRoasters.com and use code ITM20 for 20% off your order, because a good cup of coffee is a little vacation in itself.
Stay caffeinated, says Eli the Coffee Guy, and I would like to thank him for sending another mini care package, including...
And this was perfect.
Tina ran out of her Elite decaffeinated coffee, which she's been drinking decaffeinated for a couple of months now.
And so she gets some Elite stuff sent to her in beans and she grinds it up.
And yeah, so she came back from a visit to her family in Indiana.
And, uh, and she was out of coffee and she was really bummed, but just in time, the care package came and Eli had offered, had enclosed some, um, some very nice decaf coffee and she loved it.
So thank you very much.
Saved my bacon.
You've got karma.
I got a care package from two just in time.
I go through, uh, about a pound every week.
Linda Lou Patkins up.
No, wait.
No, no, no.
Jill.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'll do Jill.
You do Linda.
Yes, it's fine.
There goes the smoothness of the show.
Uh, 200 bucks.
She wants jobs, Karma.
For a competitive edge, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive and resume needs.
That's ImageMakersInc with a K dot com.
Or find Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes at the roundtable on LinkedIn.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Oh, well, wouldn't you know it?
There's Jill Melsha from Havertown, Pennsylvania.
$200.60.
Donation from Jill Melsha to de-douche my husband for his birthday.
Oh, well, okay.
You've been de-douched.
Now she says, uh, see note sent to email, but I didn't receive anything.
John, did you receive anything from Jill?
No, I didn't get anything.
And by the way, if you guys, people are going to send in notes, make sure you put donation in the subject line.
Now, do we at least have Jill's husband on the birthday?
No, not birthdays.
Let me see.
Yeah, well, we have as your husband, but we'll gladly read your note if you send it to notes at noagendashow.net.
Yeah, that's your best bet.
Now we have Aaron Moreno in Covina, California, and with Nadine.
From, actually, California is what he likes to have.
It's Aaron and Nadine from California.
Greetings, John and Adams.
$200.
In addition to the donation, please find enclosed a Yakuzuna Taranofuji towel, which he sent me.
It's the towels that you hold.
If you go to the Sumo thing, you see people holding up these towels that's got the guy's name on that you're a fan of.
Cool.
So I got this towel.
Dynamite, by the way.
It's a little more colorful than I'd expect.
And a May 2024 tournament program that the wife and I picked up for you during our recent trip to Japan.
Being a big sumo fan like John, watching top division sumo in person and at the home of the sumo, Ryo Goku, was one of the highlights of our three-week romp through northern Japan.
Unfortunately, Yokozuna was injured on day two.
Yes, he was.
He missed two tournaments in a row, actually, from injuries.
So far, he's 11-1 in this tournament with a couple days left, and I've come to the conclusion I've watched all his matches, that as long as he doesn't fall, fall down or get knocked down, he'll be fine.
But it's, and I noticed all the injuries, I'm actually concerned about this, all the injuries to these sumo guys is when they get tossed or they fall off, the whole thing is elevated and they go falling into the crowd.
It's, it's, they always get injured.
Now, do these sumo guys actually get picked up and tossed?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, there was one.
They get picked up and tossed.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
We had a head to this morning's, uh, which is last night's, uh, tumor.
There's a, a headlock toss and the, uh, The Ozeki grabbed this guy by the head and flipped him up in the air.
The guy's, what, 400 pounds or so and he goes falling into the crowd.
It's amazing.
It's dangerous.
You and your sweaty fat guys.
Sweaty fat guys.
Yes.
But the good news is that he's looking good during the early stages, talking about Terano Fuji, in the July tournament and currently sits at 5-0.
This is, he's 11-1 now.
The Nefesumo Talk, he says, thanks to the two of you for all the work you put into the show.
May you never find an exit strategy, no jingles, no karma.
All right.
Not given.
You got it.
And finally, our final Associate Executive Producer, Tiara Carr, Baltimore, Maryland, $200.
Hello!
Hello!
I'd like to wish my... Hello, Baltimore!
I'd like to wish my amazing fiancé, Alex Schlegel, a very happy 44th birthday on July 30th, and donate $200 to No Agenda on his behalf.
He has been an avid listener for a long time, and I hope that he can now be deduced.
Well, hope no more!
You've been de-douched.
Thank you so much, Tiara Carr.
Thank you, Tiara.
A record for switcheroos.
And you know what?
Oh, so that should be a... Is that a switcheroo?
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, well it wasn't actually listed.
I think you're right.
On his behalf.
Yeah, it should be a switcheroo.
Let me just put that in there.
That's so nice of you, Tiara.
He's got a good woman right there.
Good woman.
Yeah, and she's named after a crown.
She's a queen.
Yes.
Well, thank you very much to our executive and associate executive producers.
As said, these are credits that you can use anywhere credits are recognized.
You can put them on your social media profile, your LinkedIn, or obviously at imdb.com.
If anyone ever questions these credits, we'll be happy to vouch for you.
Thank you to everyone who came in under $50.
We don't mention those for reasons of anonymity.
And of course, the sustaining donations, which you can do yourself by going to noagendadonations.com.
You can come up with any amount, any frequency.
We will be thanking people down to $50 in a couple of minutes.
And once again, thank you so much for being Executive and Associate Executive Producers of No Agenda, Episode 1680!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
So, you know, speaking of, I'm going to lead you into it.
Speaking of the art, the AI art.
There was a very interesting study that came out, and this is in, I think, Nature Magazine had a report on it.
AI models fed AI-generated data quickly spew nonsense.
Research... That's funny.
This is the model collapse theory.
Researchers gave successive versions of a large language model information produced by a previous generation of the AI and observed rapid collapse.
And this article is worth watching because they show AI art, how within nine generations of importing information that comes from, you know, that is synthetic, comes from AI, the art actually degrades significantly.
This makes nothing but sense.
So here's an example.
The study authors trained their large language model on Wikipedia articles and trained successive generations of the model on the text produced by the previous version.
Prompted to follow on from a paragraph of text from the Wikipedia entry on grade one listed buildings in Somerset in the UK, the models output the following text.
So here's generation zero.
So this is just what, from feeding it original Wikipedia information, which by itself is sketchy.
Yeah.
Here's Generation Zero.
Revival architecture such as St.
John's Cathedral in London.
The earliest surviving example of perpendicular revival architecture is found in the 18th Uh, at sign, at sign, Century Church of Our Lady of Guernsey, which dates from the late 19th century.
There are two types of perpendicular, per hyphen, perpendicular churches, colon, those.
Now we go to Generation 9.
Architecture.
In addition to being home to some of the world's largest populations of black at sign, at sign, tailed jackrabbits, white at sign, at sign, tailed jackrabbits, blue at sign, at sign, tailed jackrabbits, red at sign, at sign, tailed jackrabbits, comma, yellow at sign.
So this whole nonsense is going to take care of itself.
And the great thing about it is everything takes care of itself.
Every generation that you create costs exponentially more to train the model.
So as you spend more money to train these models, it gets worse.
So the more money you spend, the worse it gets.
Pretty much true.
That's an ironic twist.
I love it.
And I'm happy.
That means it'll all take, as you said, it'll all take care of itself.
And good, except for the fact that Darren O'Neal's on a roll.
I got the new AIBS.
This is interesting.
This is a new AIBS clips.
This is clip one.
Meta's new artificial intelligence model speaks eight languages, writes higher quality computer code, and solves complex math problems.
But at what cost?
NTD's Andrew Thomas spoke with a data scientist to learn more about the impact on users and regulators.
The rapidly evolving AI industry requires an increasing amount of data to make strides.
Meta's latest tech, LLAMA3, arrives as tech companies race to show off their data-hungry language models.
Data scientist Siddharth Gupta explains that tech companies do take measures to protect user data, but they're not perfect.
While companies try their best to anonymize the data set while using for AI development... Oh yes, we try very hard!
There could be issues that they have not accounted for while doing so.
Not?
And security is obviously a big concern, as I mentioned, because data breaches are not uncommon.
Tech companies have been collecting user data for some time, but Gupta says they need to be clearer about their intentions.
We need to account for many different risks in this, like transparency is another big one, like you need to make sure that users are aware of how their data is used.
User consent is another important issue here.
Are the companies making sure that they're getting consent from users before they make use of the data?
Okay, I'm confused.
First of all, they released this open source, this new LLAMA model, which is great because no one else can charge for it.
I think if you have more than 700,000, 700 million users, then you have to pay a license fee.
So pretty much everybody can use it.
But is he talking about the model sucking in personal data?
Yes, he's worried about that.
I'm no kidding.
Unless you give it up, unless you have actually given permission, which I think is reasonable.
Yeah.
The trouble is it's going to suck it up whether you like it or not, especially when it starts sucking up random databases.
It's just a nightmare for everybody.
Everybody.
There's some lawsuits involved that will happen eventually, although they're going to have the EULA thing is really the problem here.
But it's got to go.
It's got to go.
It's got to go.
All right, part two.
Gupta emphasizes the vast amount of data available to tech companies to train their AI models.
Basically, they have access to, depending on which company is developing it, and what platform they own, they have access to almost all of the information that users generate on their platform, as well as on the open internet.
And so they can collect all of that while developing this AI and making it better over time.
Kupta notes that artificial intelligence is outpacing regulation.
He expects the gap to close, but in the meantime, tech companies will have to balance innovation against user data protection and privacy.
Which is never going to happen.
Did you happen to see the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League this past weekend?
I did not.
Oh, it was great!
So you had these... Hey, Phoebe.
Quiet.
You had these... She doesn't like AI.
She hates it.
So you have these race cars which look very much like... They're super formula racers.
And there's no driver.
They drive on AI.
And you've got to watch this video because all of a sudden the cars are just juking in the middle of a straightaway, you know, turning left, turning right.
One of them just crashed into the wall, you know, spinning out, pulling off the track and just stopping.
Yellow flag, you know, where you can't pass cars in front of you.
So these cars just stop, they just stop in the middle of the track.
Just stop!
It was fantastic, and then... Well, if one car stops and they essentially can't pass it, they're all stopped.
No, but the cars weren't stopped, but two of these cars just stopped.
And the best thing is the commentators.
They're like, well, these cars are really pushing the edges of science.
No, they suck.
It was amazing.
There's a great video.
It's in the show notes.
Then... It must cost a fortune to outfit one of these cars.
And CBS had quite the story on AI in healthcare because this is one of the real-world applications where it's, I mean, it's going to be phenomenal.
It's going to, it's gonna, you know, those of you who are pre-dead, it's gonna save you from dying.
It's just AI is great.
Major Garrett has the story.
Sorry!
This spring, Google unveiled an AI overview feature where answers from Google's chatbot started to appear above search results for many health-related queries.
Just ask.
And Google will do the Googling for you.
Sounds good in theory.
In practice, there have been some glitches.
The chat bots shared misguided medical advice that was sometimes comical, sometimes dangerous.
In the first week of this new tool's use, one user said Google AI gave her tips for what you do if you get bitten by a rattlesnake that included sucking out the venom.
That advice, if followed, could be lethal.
The AI technology also gave advice on how to get a week's old baby to eat their vegetables.
Physicians say infants should not eat solid food until after six months of age.
Google AI even recommended eating, quote, at least one small rock per day, unquote, to increase vitamin and mineral intake.
That advice was lifted from an article in The Onion.
A well-known satirical website.
Google says it has limited inclusion of satire and humor sites in overviews and removed ones that, for the wrong reason, went viral.
Oh, so from now on, all AI is going to be humorless.
Well, that's no good.
Well, you know, you can't stop this because a lot, you know, the Babylon Bee nowadays, the onion, it used to be this way, but not as much.
Take the Onion and the Babylon Bee.
They are symbolically viruses that get into the model and screw it up and kill it, or give you tips like eating a rock.
This is an interesting little twist.
Oh, it gets better.
And by the way, a lot of the Babylon Bee and Onion stuff is posted elsewhere.
It's not on, yeah, you can block those two sites, but it doesn't mean they're not out there.
I mean, I use a Babylon Bee piece every so often in my meme section of the newsletter.
Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to use the internet as your input source?
I mean, come on.
Somebody with a low budget.
A Google spokesperson tells CBS News, for health queries we've always had strong quality and safety guardrails in place, including disclaimers that remind people that it's important to seek out expert advice.
But not all of it.
CBS News confirmed that some health misinformation persists on the tool.
Queries about introducing solid foods to infants under six months old still returned tips in late June when we tested it.
Searches on the health benefits of dubious wellness trends like detoxes or drinking raw milk included debunked claims.
Oh, no!
Oh, they put the raw milk propaganda in there.
More propaganda?
I'd like to know what that's about.
Yeah, well, let's continue now.
Despite the quirks and outright errors, many health care leaders remain optimistic about AI chatbots.
In the long run, I think these technologies are going to do us a lot of good.
One of them is Dr. Nigam Shah, Chief Data Scientist at Stanford Healthcare.
When Google Search came around, everybody was like panicking that, you know, patients will self-diagnose and they'll be all hell will break loose.
Didn't happen.
Same thing, we'll go through that phase with chatbots, that yes, of course, the new ones that are not fully formed will make mistakes, and a couple of them will be bad, but by and large, having information at your disposal when there's no other option is a good thing.
I mean, just wait until these chatbots start sucking up their own advice and putting that into the model.
I mean, I predict right now, help desk humans will be a big and good-paying job in the future.
People who actually know what's going on in the company, not just reading a script.
And it will be the differentiator With, um, in what company people choose.
I can predict it right now.
Well, it's not, I don't know how much of a prediction it is because it's been proven to be the case.
Generally speaking, from the days of, uh, what was that word processor that was bought up by somebody else?
It was WordPerfect.
WordPerfect, yeah.
The word processor du jour back in the 80s, I guess, the late 80s, was always WordStar.
And then there was this other one, Zyright, and there's a bunch of these different word processes.
But WordPerfect came along, I think it's out of Utah, with the thesis that customer service, real customer service where you could call them up if you had any issues at all with formatting or anything else, and they had banks of people, started to make WordPerfect the number started to make WordPerfect the number one word processor.
Not because it was the best by any means.
It wasn't, as far as I'm concerned.
It never is.
But it had the best customer service with real people who would talk to you, and it was very appealing.
And I think you're dead right.
This is what's missing.
You call these machines up, and they walk you through a bunch of bull crap to get you to a person to talk to.
It's annoying.
You could just cut to the chase.
I'm not understanding the mechanism here necessarily.
It's a known fact.
You know what's also annoying?
Is these political text messages.
I don't get him.
I just got it.
J.D.
Vance, emergency broadcast!
The Deep State raised over a quarter of a billion dollars for Kamala.
My emergency response link stopped to end.
Brother.
Oh, that's no good.
Adam, can I give you a call?
It's Donald Trump.
I need your endorsement for the first presidential debate.
Oh, that was June 20th.
Sorry.
It's the same number.
Oh, my God.
I mean, they... Same number.
And you do stop to end, and then he just texts you from a different number.
It never stops.
Anyway, back to Major Garrett.
Last clip for him.
Hi, I'm Sarah.
This is the World Health Organization's chatbot, Sarah.
Sarah pulls information from the World Health Organization and trusted partners.
How can I lower my risk of heart attack?
Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, managing stress.
Advocates of chatbots are quick to say that physicians, like bots, can make mistakes.
Estimates vary, but a 2022 study by the Department of Health and Human Services found up to 2% of emergency room patients each year may have suffered harm from a misdiagnosis.
With the right design and oversight, AI chatbots might one day give better medical advice and reach more patients in need.
Dream on!
But if you are turning to an AI chatbot for health advice today, note the warning that comes with Google's version.
Info quality may vary.
Hey!
That should be on our show.
No agenda.
Info quality may vary.
Info quality may vary.
What is that?
And it costs, what is it, an AI query is like 10 to 30 times more expensive in compute and energy.
This is a disaster.
It's a disaster.
And I love it.
This is something to complain about.
Well, the results are in.
Sam Altman.
It's very important that we get to AGI.
Very complicated stuff talking.
Sam Altman did a universal basic income pilot test because he's convinced that his chat GPT will put hundreds of millions of people out of work.
So we need to distribute the wealth evenly.
The results are in.
This morning, new insight into whether a universal basic income could one day be sustainable.
It's from a study conducted by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, who has warned about major job losses across certain industries as artificial intelligence grows more powerful.
The speed of the change that may happen here is the part that I worry about the most.
Altman's study gave a thousand low-income people $1,000 per month over a three-year period.
It was free money, no strings attached.
It's something former presidential candidate Andrew Yang supported during the 2020 campaign.
This would create millions of jobs, make our children and families stronger, and give all Americans a better chance to transition in the economy of the 21st century.
Altman's study found people mostly spent the extra money on basics, such as food, rent, and transportation.
The largest increase in their spending was to help family and friends with their bills.
Many people also put money in the bank.
On average, with the extra money, they worked about one hour less per week.
The research was conducted amid concerns that artificial intelligence will eventually make millions of jobs obsolete, leaving many people scrambling to find new ways to make a living.
With every great technological revolution in human history, although it has been true that the jobs change a lot, some jobs even go away.
And I'm sure we'll see a lot of that here.
Critics dismiss the idea of a universal basic income as un-American, comparing it to socialism, saying it would lead to dependency and suffocate innovation in the economy.
But tech industry titans, including Elon Musk, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, and the so-called godfather of artificial intelligence, Geoffrey Hinton, support it.
I'm very worried about AI taking over lots of mundane jobs.
And that should be a good thing.
It's going to lead to a big increase in productivity, which leads to a big increase in wealth.
And if that wealth was equally distributed, that would be great.
So they're all full of crap.
It doesn't lead to more productivity.
People work less.
Yeah, I have free money.
I think I'll take a day off.
This is dumb.
That's Sam Altman.
I got to work on that.
You're getting there.
You're getting close.
Like every tech innovation.
Not always.
There's a lot of gravel.
It will take away jobs.
We need regulation to protect the incumbents.
And I have a plug-in hybrid that costs $30 million.
I'm Sam Altman.
Plug-in hybrid.
Which is what that thing is.
This is no good.
I can't wait for the collapse.
Oh, there's no collapse.
Yeah, it's coming.
Alright.
It's coming.
What do we have here?
Well, I have, actually, I have a little, a mini-series here.
This is about the pharmacy benefit managers.
This is something that, um, That Trump worked on.
You remember that he says, I'm getting rid of these guys in the middle?
And he said, a lot of people not gonna like it, not gonna like it what I'm doing, not gonna like it!
You remember that?
No.
Oh.
Well, this is the problem when people say, why is it all so expensive in America?
Why, why is, why are drugs so expensive?
Well, here are, um, let me see, three clips, two from CNBC.
The first one is NBC, because there was a hearing on the Hill about the pharmacy benefit managers, who are the middlemen who jack up the prices.
Tonight, the powerful middlemen managing prescription drug access for millions of Americans, grilled on Capitol Hill.
People are dying because they can't afford their medication, and you all are part of the problem.
Pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, are responsible for negotiating pharmacy prices with drug manufacturers.
They're being accused of profiting by inflating drug costs and squeezing Main Street pharmacies, impacting patients.
One survey shows nearly 3 in 10 Americans have rationed or skipped doses of prescribed medicines due to high costs.
You're setting dramatically different prices for some medications across the country.
If you're not delivering an outcome to the people who use it, how long do you all think you're going to have a job?
During the heated and complicated bipartisan hearing, I feel like the more I hear, the less I understand.
Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna pointed to the case of a 10-year-old girl who he says needed Humira to treat her juvenile arthritis, but was denied for six months while her arthritis got worse.
They were saying that the doctor needed to prescribe something cheaper.
Can you make a commitment today that you'll privilege the doctor's recommendation over the bureaucracy's recommendation?
As a physician, I hope you understand this.
We value our partnership with physicians.
Executives from the three largest PBMs, responsible for managing access to nearly 80% of all prescription drugs in the U.S., pushed back on allegations they drive up prices.
Last year alone, we saved our clients $64 billion.
They blame brand manufacturers, who they say raised drug costs up to 60%.
It's hard work to keep those costs down for patients and clients.
So I thought it was a very cagey report from NBC, knowing of course that they don't really want to bite the hand that feeds them, but they still had to report on it.
CNBC got a little bit closer and start off with the explanation that what these guys really do, they just sit in the middle and they just drive up the cost.
The FTC issuing an interim report in its two-year probe into the big pharmacy benefit middlemen with some damning conclusions.
So we were right all along with middlemen.
Bertha Coombs joins us now with more.
Hey, Bertha.
Hey, Joe.
The FTC's interim report argues that pharmacy benefit managers, PBMs, have gotten too big and points to the ways that these middlemen allegedly inflate drug prices.
... their profits, like the treatment of specialty drugs, high-cost or complex drugs to treat special conditions.
It outlines how the big three PBMs, CVS's Caremark, Cigna's Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth's Optum, have amped up their sales growth by designating more and more drugs as specialty pharmaceuticals, which they then make patients buy at their preferred pharmacies.
One example the report highlights, the price of the generic version of cancer drug Gleevec.
to treat leukemia.
Generic.
Noting in 2022, PBM preferred pharmacies were reimbursed $2,700 a month for the drugs, 40 times the net cost of $66.
And the report cites a quote from a PBM rep admitting to a consultant that they'd actually designed their plan to, quote, aggressively steer customers to home delivery, where the generic cost is 200 times higher, over $19,000.
Amazon.
Well, non-preferred outlets like Costco, which customers might not know to go to, So, you know, they're just reading the report, but if you really want to get the full insight on how it works, you gotta go to the one and only Mr. Big Pharma himself, who of course sees the cutting out of the middleman only benefiting his employers, mainly Pfizer.
The problem is that the way that the discounting happens in the marketplace right now, we've talked about this before, is through back-ended rebates.
So what happens is the PBMs negotiate with the drug makers to extract discounts.
Those discounts are paid in the form of rebates that are paid after the transaction takes place.
So if you're a patient and you go to the pharmacy And there's a $1,000 medication.
The medication is listed at a $1,000 list price.
So take, for example, the weight loss drugs that we've talked about.
The PBM might have negotiated with the drug maker for a $500 rebate on that drug.
But when you're at the pharmacy counter, you're going to pay $1,000 and your insurer is going to pay $1,000.
So if you have a 20% copay on that medicine, your copay is going to be $200.
Now later, perhaps six months later, the drug maker will pay a $500 rebate back to the insurance company.
So the The actual cost to the insurance company was $500.
What the drug maker got paid was $500, but what the patient paid at the pharmacy counter was $200.
And those rebates, when they go back to the insurance company, the insurance company typically doesn't give it back to the patient.
What they do is use all those rebates collectively to pay down the cost of the premiums.
And so there's heavy discounting in the marketplace driven by the PBMs, but those discounts aren't always flowing back to the patients who are out of pocket for the cost of their medications.
Now, some PBMs, like CVS, and others have launched initiatives to try to get the rebates back to the patient at the pharmacy counter through their true cost initiative, and other PBMs are doing this.
But employers who are ultimately responsible for setting those contracts, they like the rebates because it allows them to offset other costs in their administration of their health benefit.
So they don't often engage in the contracts with the PBMs where the rebates would go back to the patient.
And that's the problem.
What a scam.
Unbelievable.
People think it's a giant scam.
Yeah.
So it's, yes, it's a giant scam.
It's really outrageous.
And it's designed to gouge the American public.
Yep.
Yeah.
So that's why it's so expensive, because we're being scammed.
Surprise!
Bing-a-bing-bing!
Alright, well thank you for that.
You're welcome.
Uplifting, uh, report.
Well, it's, this, it's, uh, information quality may vary.
Uh, here's an old Kamala Harris clip.
Oh, brother, we're going back to her?
Well, just for this clip.
No, and I'm gonna save this clip, never mind.
Um... I know what it is.
Play it, because then I can play something else.
That has to do with Kamala Harris?
Oh yeah, with this particular clip.
This is, this is, they're gonna get, she's got so many things out there that she said that are so stupid.
Yeah.
That it's gonna, they're gonna pile them up and they're gonna, you know, it's ridiculous and this is one example.
When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
This is the reduced population gaffe?
Or did she mean it?
No, it wasn't a gaffe.
What was she trying to say if she didn't say reduced population?
No, she means it.
We need to reduce population through, I guess, women's health care.
I'm not sure what she means.
Because that's all I can conclude from it.
Like, hey, if we stop babies from being born, that's reducing the population.
That's part of her agenda.
Yeah, it is.
And right on cue when it comes to climate change.
As soon as one climate record is broken, another startling one comes to take its place.
According to the EU Climate Monitor, the Copernicus Climate Change Service, July 21st was the hottest day on the planet since records began being kept in 1940.
The global average air temperature was 17.15 degrees Celsius, or 62.87 degrees Fahrenheit.
But that heat record was broken the very following day, making July 22nd the warmest ever.
And it's not just the day-to-day that's ringing alarm bells.
It's the wider trend.
Since June 2023, every single month has broken the previous year's records, with Copernicus calling this 13-month streak of unprecedented temperatures truly staggering.
Climate watchdogs fear that the frequency of such records could desensitize people to the very real and alarming effects of climate change, even if in the moment the heat is not easily ignored.
Be it the current wildfires in North America, heat warnings in China, typhoons in Taiwan, or blistering heat waves in southern and eastern Europe, climate change is making extreme weather come earlier with increased frequency and making it last longer.
You know, so Copernicus in the EU, which is now the new one that everyone cites, who are just a bunch of liars.
Well, not really.
Since records have been kept in 1945, really?
I mean, I'm looking here at, and it's in the show notes, photos from 1911, New York, people struggling in deadly heatwave.
So I guess someone had a record of it.
Where it was 100 degrees.
Oh, that's a convenient time to start.
Correct!
It's a convenient truth.
And, you know, so here's people passed out in Battery Park.
People swimming in the fountain at Madison Square Park.
Free shower baths for horses only because the horses were falling dead.
I mean, we've had this in the past.
Terrific, here we go.
What is this?
This is from 1911.
Terrific heat claims, 35 more victims, 15 drowned in waters around the city.
Because, you know, people are trying to cool down.
And they're beautiful pictures.
It's all black and white, and you just see everyone just like, oh my God, it's so hot.
And they're all passed out.
Battery Park is the best.
Well, now we've got a report that Kind of agrees with your bullcrap.
Yeah?
This is a twofer, this particular clip.
This is about the 2030 Olympics, and it turns out, according to these people, that they're having trouble finding places to do the Winter Olympics because of climate change.
The International Olympic Committee has approved the French Alps as host of the 2030 Winter Games.
As NPR's Becky Sullivan reports from Paris, the bid is still subject to approval by the next French Prime Minister.
France was the only country to bid for the 2030 Winter Games.
Its bid calls for some events to be held at ski resorts in the Alps and others, like figure skating, to be held at arenas in Nice.
The vote comes as finding host cities for the Winter Games has grown more challenging.
Climate change has shrunk the number of realistic hosts.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that France is committed to continuing the tradition.
We do believe in the future of Winter Games.
We do believe in the future of our mountains.
The 2030 Games, he said, could represent a new sustainable model for how the Winter Olympics could look going forward if the bid is approved this fall by the new French Prime Minister.
Becky Sullivan, NPR News, Paris.
I don't much care.
We do believe.
I don't care much for any of the agenda, but just for President Trump calling out the Green Hoax, it's worth it.
Stop this nonsense, this boondoggle, this PSYOP, this gaslighting.
It's been going on.
It's just amazing how long it's gone on since before.
I mean, it broke down at ClimateGate, which we covered extensively on the show.
16 years ago.
And it just keeps going, even with that involved, even with the fakery and the bullcrap and the phony baloney numbers and everybody who spots the flaws.
It just keeps going for some reason.
It was 78 degrees yesterday here.
It may be the hottest day on record, but Texas is beautiful.
We got a great summer here.
So, no!
And then, okay, this, this is a topper.
A topper of all nonsense.
It's not just daylight savings that makes the days feel longer.
New research is showing that climate change is actually having an impact on the length of our days.
The National Academy of Sciences says that ice sheets melting at the Earth's poles are redistributing the mass of the planet's surface.
Water from the ice is now moving toward the equator, slowing the rotation of the Earth in resulting in milliseconds being added to every day.
Experts worry if that increase continues, it'll eventually impact how we measure time.
Oh, please.
Please.
The days are getting longer because of climate change.
Charge up the battery!
Charge up the battery, Margaret!
I mean, I don't want to ruin our days!
That's unbelievable.
There's a lot of bullcrap news.
I got a couple of them here just to roll them out.
Researchers from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation tested 13 sharp-nosed sharks, a small species little threat to humans, who roam the waters off Rio de Janeiro.
All 13 were found to have high levels of cocaine in their system.
In fact, concentrations were up to 100 times higher than previously reported in other aquatic creatures, which researchers say is having a harmful impact on their eyesight, hunting skills, and overall life expectancy.
What I find so odd is that Shark Week ended two weeks ago on Discovery Channel.
All of this stuff is coming late!
You can't do Shark Stories after Shark Week is over.
I'm all in with you.
Absolutely.
These are latent stories that came in because of the Trump shooting and the CrowdStrike issues that pushed off these stories, but they feel obliged like I do with some of the clips I've just been playing.
That's a good point.
To get the clip out of the way.
I haven't asked JCD.
Oh, that's rare.
Yes, I have an Ask JCD, and I'm going to give you the question first.
A 7th grader from Bell Elementary School spelled it out this afternoon to secure her spot at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Better you than me.
She competed against dozens of other kids at the Citywide Spelling Bee Championship.
Okay.
Even though the host of this television news program cannot even spell it or pronounce the word himself, what do you think the winning word was for this young child to go to the National Spelling Bee?
What word would you put out there into the Spelling Bee as a winning question?
Anti-disestablishmentarianism.
Not even close.
The winning word was a noun.
Myocarditis.
I was so close.
So close.
Myocarditis.
Who would have thought?
And they couldn't pronounce it.
Isn't that weird, though?
What a word to choose.
Yeah, I wonder why.
More gaslighting.
More gaslighting.
Here's an interesting story.
You talked about this the other, you know, about the drones, but here's an ATC.
Do you know about the air traffic controllers having, now they're finally getting rest?
They don't deserve it.
They can smoke weed on their break.
Another airport public safety issue is being resolved.
Air traffic controllers will be getting longer rest breaks between shifts.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced longer rest breaks for air traffic tower workers.
A scientific panel assessed the risk of fatigue and recommended 10 to 12 hours between shifts.
In the 2025 contract agreement between the FAA and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, tower workers will get 10 hours off between shifts.
Those who work at midnight will have 12 hours off before and after the shift.
The agreement also includes fewer in successive overtime assignments.
Union Chief Rich Santa says air traffic controller fatigue has been an issue for years.
He believes the new deal, quote, will begin to provide relief to the understaffed workforce.
The FAA has already had to reduce the number of flights in New York and Florida because of the lack of controllers.
To help ease the shortage, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker says the agency plans to hire and train more than 1,500 controllers this year.
That was always the plan.
If you recall, we have quite a few air traffic controllers.
We do.
Amongst our producing audience, and what I've understood from them is, eh, it's alright.
They just want more money to hire people.
They just want more money.
And they will check in with me again, of course, and let us know if that is still true.
But yeah, congratulations.
More money for everybody, longer breaks, get a vacation.
I'm happy for them.
Who's going to argue about that?
No one's going to argue about that.
More DEI hires is going to be dynamite.
Well, that'll be the issue.
That's the next issue.
Dame Christina Pearl, who is one of our many flight attendants.
She is, I think, 27 years with Southwest.
Sent me this very, very... For her, happy, because she likes it.
I'm very sad about this particular news item.
A huge shift in over 50 years.
Say goodbye to Southwest's open seating.
Are you kidding me?
The airline announcing this morning it's getting rid of it and will offer extra legroom seats starting next year.
It will also start overnight flights in February.
This is the airline faces mounting pressure to increase revenue.
That's one of the appeals of Southwest.
It's a more democratic approach.
Oh, but it is Hunger Games out there.
It is!
I can't imagine!
You have to train for it.
You have to be fast.
It's the stress of trying to get into the A group of boarding.
You have to log on 24 hours in advance.
Just do it right at the time.
Yes, you set an alarm on your phone.
You're like, please, universe, reward me today.
No, you're just like the rest.
Yes!
Please, assign me a seat.
It's okay to be like, to do what's normal, I feel like, sometimes.
Jenny likes to form his own path.
Because he throws elbows, I'm sure.
I'm very sad about this.
I love the whole Southwest open seating.
I love the boarding process.
I think it's a bad idea.
I predict the end of the airline.
Well, the airline is just going to become another like everyone else's airline.
It's no good.
I agree.
You know, the way it used to be was a fabulous way of doing it.
Herb is rolling over in his grave.
I can't.
That's one of those things, you know, where the original CEO really stole the eye.
But I know why they're doing it.
I know why they're doing it.
I know why they're doing it.
Because, you know, as we know, they run the whole airline on a Commodore 64, which is why they had no issue during the CrowdStrike outage.
Or very little issue, certainly not internally.
They have to justify the upgrade of their systems.
So the way you do that is, well, we're going to change the way we do it.
We have to do, we're going to do bookings now.
You can book your seat.
So we got to, we have to upgrade our software.
It's going to be $10 billion hit to the, don't worry about it.
This is supposed to be a way of making more money.
This is a way of losing money.
They're going to lose money.
And it'll be 10 billion dollars.
It'll be some astronomical amount.
And probably these bean counters who are running are saying, oh, they're going to get sold some bill of goods on some AI booking system which is going to suck.
Well, that'd be great.
With chat bots that tell you, you know, give you bad information.
I think it's the end of a great, of Herb's cattle car.
It was a great idea.
And it also opens up an opportunity.
I think there's a new opportunity for a new airline that comes in and does it right.
Yeah, I agree.
The model is broken.
Once they do this, the model is broken for Southwest.
Now it's just another airline, just like everyone else.
I'd probably be susceptible to the same crowd strike outage as everyone else.
I have bad news for you.
Well, not really, kind of half bad news, but you're probably on deck next.
Christian nationalism has long been associated with white evangelicals.
Now Catholics are emerging as some of Christian nationalism's most muscular champions.
Soon it will be lapsed Catholics.
Yeah, right.
Those lapsed Catholics, they're out there with the signs of protest.
That's right.
Old white men.
That's right.
That's right.
Old white Catholics who have lapsed.
You're going to be in trouble.
But I say this, of course, to lead into a report from the Oklahoma State Superintendent.
As you recall, there was quite the fracas about requiring the Bible in schools.
And he listened to the show and took our advice, John.
How to apply the Christian Bible to the Oklahoma classroom in a five-page document sent out by State Superintendent Ryan Walters Wednesday morning.
Teachers now have clear steps on how they're supposed to do exactly that.
This comes almost a month after Walters announced the requirement at the last Board of Education meeting.
Every school district will adhere to, which is that every teacher, every classroom in the state will have a Bible in the classroom.
I will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom to ensure that this historical understanding is there for every student in the state of Oklahoma.
Walter says they are to be applied this school year, which is just weeks away for several districts.
It applies the Bible towards three areas of the classroom for upper elementary, middle school, and high school levels.
Those three are historical context, literary significance, and artistic and musical influence.
Here's what Walters told me two weeks ago about why the Bible should be applied in the classroom.
In the standards, it talks about the Mayflower Compact.
It talks about natural rights.
It talks about the faith of some of the founders and individuals throughout our history.
Well, if you don't include that in a history curriculum and its historical context, that's academic malpractice.
Academic malpractice.
Exactly!
In your history lesson.
Perfect!
I'm all in.
Good idea.
I think the show recommended that.
It's going to be abused in a very negative way.
What?
In schools?
I don't think so.
Yeah, you'll see.
There's the lapsed Catholic, thank God.
He jumps out.
I don't think so.
It's going to be good.
By abused I mean it will be ridiculed.
Oh no, of course it will be ridiculed.
Of course.
There's separation of church and state.
It's no good.
We need the Quran in there!
Uh, let's see, do you have anything else?
I think, uh, what else did I have?
Oh, I did want to mention one thing because I think you have a couple of Netanyahu clips.
I certainly have one or two.
I only have one.
Um, well let's play your clip and then I have some thoughts about it.
That's the overview clip from NTD.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress for the fourth time today, the first foreign leader ever to do so.
He thanked the U.S.
for its support and made the case for why the U.S.
should keep supplying Israel with tools to fight Hamas.
Some lawmakers, including Vice President Kamala Harris, chose not to attend, while others showed strong support for Netanyahu.
And while Netanyahu delivered his address, protesters took to the streets surrounding the capital.
Both pro-Palestine protesters and pro-Israel counter-protesters swarmed the area, with some demanding Netanyahu's arrest and others demanding the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas.
Yeah, I have a similar version from CBS.
Thousands of raucous protesters converged near the Capitol this afternoon, some burning an American flag.
It's peaceful protests.
And an effigy of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Inside the Capitol, the Israeli leader took them on.
Yet incredibly, many anti-Israel protesters, many choose to stand with evil.
They stand with Hamas!
Hamas!
Hamza!
Netanyahu urged the joint meeting of Congress to continue backing the war and his country's efforts to free the hostages, though he's been unable to reach a ceasefire deal to bring them home.
We're not only protecting ourselves, we're protecting you!
Netanyahu compared the October 7th attack to Pearl Harbor, and argued enemies of America, including Iran, have targeted Israel with sights set on the U.S.
Our fight is your fight and our victory will be your victory.
He defended his nation's prosecution of the war as the death toll nears 40,000.
Many civilians in Gaza faces extreme food shortages.
If there are Palestinians in Gaza who aren't getting enough food, it's not because Israel is blocking it.
It's because Hamas is stealing it.
Political tensions pulsed through the audience.
Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib held a sign which read, War Criminal.
I will not rest... Dozens of congressional Democrats boycotted the address.
Well, I think it's important not to legitimize a leader who has attacked democracy.
As Netanyahu spoke, protesters in Tel Aviv booed his speech as it played live on television.
So, his main theme was, hey, I'm really protecting you, so there's, you know, you don't have to have your boots on the ground here.
Of course, he had a nice little joke about the gays for Gaza.
Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming, gays for Gaza.
They might as well hold up signs saying, chickens for KFC!
That was good.
That was pretty good.
It was a little disturbing, though, to see the destruction of property, spray-painting monuments, which is just... Which is illegal as a felony, but they don't do anything about it.
No, and they're just, like, walking around like, oh, it's okay, I can just spray-paint Gaza.
Gaza.
They took down American flags, burned them, and then hoisted Palestinian flags, which there may be something about that that's not entirely legal.
But here's what I think will happen.
You know, Trump is receiving Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.
He also sent out on Truth Social A very nice note he got from Mahmoud Abbas, from the Palestinian Authority, President of the Palestinian Authority, that said, hey, Donald, sorry about the assassination, glad you're OK.
And he put on his, with big magic marker, Mahmoud, it's OK, it's all going to be good, see you soon, best, Donald.
I predict an October surprise, which may come early.
I think that Trump will negotiate a peace deal.
It will be recognized as his deal.
Violation of the Logan Act!
Either by Netanyahu or Abbas or both.
And I think this is a huge gambit he's going to play.
I don't know if he's going to do it earlier than October, but this would be the one.
I mean, and he'll get some hostages back.
I mean, boy, Reagan anybody?
Yeah, let's get the hostages back.
Now I can see it.
You can just see it, see his mind thinking.
Like, yeah, I can make Bibi stop doing this.
I can make Mahmoud hand over some hostages.
Well, at first I think the meaning is going to be to get assurance That the war goes past the Democratic National Convention.
Yes.
I mean, of course, we've got to do that.
No, no, no, no.
We don't want to do that.
No, of course not.
So there'll be a nice riot in Chicago and a lot of heads cracked by this.
Well, the Chicago police aren't as brutal as they were in 1968, but there still should be a lot of destruction.
Now, let's see, the Logan Act criminalizes negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen.
So I don't think it pertains to... That's a good point.
So, you know, yelling the Logan Act may not work in that case.
Well, they're yelling it already.
Well, they're wrong because... I agree.
I didn't realize it had to involve U.S.
policy.
Well, I thought it just involved U.S.
policy, not necessarily U.S.
involvement.
Well, we just heard from the president that America is not in any wars.
Yeah, that's what he said.
And Zelensky is also already talking, you know, well, we've got to come up with a peace plan.
Do you see that meme?
It's a very funny meme.
It's a meme that looks like the alert screen of Joe Biden's cell phone.
And it has missed call, like 52 missed calls from Zelensky.
And then he texts, um, let me see, I have it here.
And he texts, uh, Hey, I'm still going to get my money, right?
I'm really worried.
I'm scared.
Please answer.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm glad you're warming up to the memes.
What?
I'm sorry.
I thought I was going to say I think they're going to be a major part of the upcoming presidential campaign.
Just say it again.
I think, I'm glad you're warming up to the memes.
I'm glad you're warming up to the memes.
I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Made up from my Linda Lou Patkin gaff earlier.
Nice and slick, John.
Slick, slick, slick, slick.
Yeah, okay.
All right, everybody.
You can edit that.
You can edit that out.
I'll sound like a winner.
It'll sound smooth as silk.
Hold on.
Let me set a marker.
Yeah, it'll be great.
We'll see.
No one will ever know the difference.
Ah, we love our producers.
We don't have listeners.
We don't have fans.
No, in fact, we definitely don't have fans.
We have people who definitely don't have fans.
People who like producing the show and they do it in three ways.
Time, talent, treasure.
We're going to be thanking people who organize meetups in a little bit, but also the people who came in over $50.
John's going to take us through the list.
It's not too long.
No, it's actually quite short.
It's surprising.
Uh, Michael, What is it?
Henri?
Henri?
Henry?
I'm not sure.

He'll know how to pronounce it.

Chelsea, Britain in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
105.35.
Those are $100 donations with the fees added.
Yeah, I'm guessing.
That's how much you're paying.
If it was a $100 check or $105 check, the fee would be 15 cents max.
And that's after a certain number of minimums.
Thus, we encourage to send checks to Box 339, El Cerrito, California, 94530.
That's Box 339, El Cerrito, California, 94530.
94530. That's box 339. El Cerrito, California 94530.

That's a happy birthday call to her smoking hot husband, Steve.
He hit me in the mouth in 2021.
We escaped Portland in 2022!
Oh, so they live in some place.
They're in Arkansas, even though the count's still in Portland.
Okay.
Got it, got it.
Arkansas is a beautiful state, by the way.
I'm sure they agree.
It has a number of wineries that are really high-end.
Really?
Of all the wine-growing states outside of California and kind of the Finger Lakes area, Arkansas can produce Great wine, and they like to bribe into some of these wineries, and they like to brag about the fact that they can grow all five varieties of grapes, and no other one area can do that.
There's certain grapes that won't grow, like the muscadine grape, for example.
What is the guy?
Wyss?
Halter Ranch?
Are you familiar with Halter Ranch out there in Napa?
Well, there's all these billionaire wine guys from California coming in here now.
Buying up land everywhere to start wineries.
To make lousy wine.
When they move from California where you can actually make good wine, but they can't because they can't find a good winemaker.
They won't pay him enough money.
So they moved to Texas, so they make lousy wine there instead.
That makes sense.
No, no.
Augusta Vinn has a top notch.
He's the guy that won two, three gold stars or whatever from the California guys.
Heather Smith in Portland.
Anyway, we just read her.

We've got a layaway knight to bring in to the round table.
It is Robert McAndrew, and he says, Hello!
I've been donating through PayPal for roughly five years now at $20.19 a month.
It really does work.
It works.
It works.
I surmise I have given $1,200 to the effort and believe it is time for me to be knighted.
It is indeed.
I wish to be knighted as Sir Boat God.
Thanks, Robert McAndrew.
And we're happy to bring you up on the podium.
Here we go.
So, Robert McAndrew, it does work!
$20.19 a month, supported the best podcast in the universe, that brought you well over the level to become a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, and I'm therefore very proud to pronounce-icate thee as Sir Boat God, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
For you, we have Hookers & Blow, Rent Boys, and Chardonnay.
We've got Warm Beer and Cold Women, Ruben S. Women & Rosé, perhaps, Gates & Asake.
Vodka and vanilla, or how about bong hits of bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum, cowgirls and coffin varnish, and of course, he's already snacking on it, the mutton and mead.
You, sir, head over to Noagenderings.com.
You can take a look at those beautiful night dame rings.
They're Cignet rings, so you can hit people in the mouth.
It leaves a lasting impression.
Or use it to seal your important correspondence with the applied sealing wax.
I heard from one of our United States Postal Service workers that there should be no problem.
If you really want to send your wax sealed envelopes, you can say, no machine processing.
You can write that on the envelope and it will be processed by hand.
So, there's another tip!
From your Noah Jenner show.
Even when it's processed by machine, it gets through fine.
It seems to, yes.
It also, by the way... Probably chunks of, you know... Of wax.
I get them all the time in the P.O.
box, and they're fine.
They come through just fine.
I love breaking the seal on a nice knight envelope, or dame envelope.
I use a large hammer.
And of course, they all come with the necessary certificate of authenticity.
In these very troubled and dark days in the world, you want some protection.
You get that only from connection with your tribe, which is the No Agenda Nation group.

Triggered or hell lame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
Noagendameetups.com.
It's like a party.
We are on episode 26 of Cheers, season 11.
We have three more to go, and then we have re-watched the entire series.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No, it was, it's, it was fun.
It was fun.
We're friends now.
We're old friends.
We love these guys.
We don't know what to watch next.
We want to binge another series next.
We're thinking, uh, Veep may be a good one to watch.
Oh, uh.
Um, there's also Seinfeld.
Yeah, we've discussed Seinfeld.
We've discussed that.
But I think, you know, just because of Kamala.
That Veep might be funny, because it's, it's life imitating art.
Kamala, by the way.
Yeah, that's what you say, racist.
No, Kamala is the name, because it sounds like Pamela.
Kamala is like a black name, we don't want that.
And then there's, there's Kamala and Kamala, that's another one, and then there's Kamala, which is then Kamala.
There's four pronunciations.
Shouldn't we just call her Vice President Harris?
What, I mean, everyone, everyone is like Trump, Biden, why not Harris?
Okay, Harris is good.
Harris, I think it's better.
We have to look at some ISOs.
We always like to do that and select them in front of everybody.
I have a little programming note because I received this one at least 12 times.
This is not a good ISO.
The truth matters.
It is the truth has no agenda.
That is not a good ISO.
Dan Bongino stealing our name, saying the truth has no agenda, is not good.
I agree.
I don't know why anyone would send that in.
Send it to me.
People are like, I got an awesome ISO!
That's not so awesome.
Some people don't understand the concept.
Let me try my three on you and then you'll give us, okay?
Here we go.
This is my first one.
It's fantastic.
A little tinny.
A little tinny.
This next one I think is too long.
And the S is for phenomenal.
I don't like the music.
Too much noise in the background.
I think this one.
Useful idiots!
That one I like a lot.
It's cute.
So I have three.
The first one, by the way, you have to look it up, is I put in, I hit A instead of S, so it's I-A-O.
And these are all the same, basically done by different people saying, thank you.
And I have the first one, which is I-A-O-T-T, thank you, T-Y.
And I don't know what this means.
Thank you.
Okay.
Wow.
Big lead in for that.
Bummer.
Yeah, I guess I oversold it.
Now here's the ISO thank you Brit.
Thank you.
This is all so short.
I'm hoping this last one is the winner.
The last one is longer and this is the sexy girl.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yep, you got a winner right there.
Yeah, you got that little... I don't even know what that's called.
And some women can do it.
Yo, what is that called?
It's called... I don't know.
Does it have a name?
Does anyone out there know what that's called?
The little... that noise?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's a flirt.
I'm just gonna call that a flirt.
I think it's a little, it's an audible flirt.
Maybe.
I think it's an audible flirt.
Now it's time for the real deal.
John's tip.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
Ah, the segment is still on.
We could not be happier.
It is John C. Dvorak's tip of the day.
This one is actually a real tip.
Because it's about PG Tips.
Aha!
PG Tips, your favorite tea.
You can, I'm just going to tell people, if you ever drink, if you like to drink British tea or like, you know, if you're a tea drinker, you drink tea all the time, you should buy the big giant boxes of this stuff.
And your best bet is you can get 240 of these things on Amazon, typically sent from England, even though I think they've changed where you're getting it from now.
But you can buy like a lot of PG tips for $18 to $20.
On Amazon, you buy the big, big boxes and don't buy the rest.
This is the real tip is don't buy the restaurant version of PG tips that come in because the bag of tea is actually smaller.
I don't know why.
I, you know, I've stopped.
I'm trying to stop buying from Amazon.
Well, good luck.
No, I think it can be done.
I have a second tip.
Well, I want you to keep that up.
Okay.
I have a second tip, which is don't send me ideas for tips that aren't really tips.
It's a bonus tip.
Some guy sent me a long thing.
I want to do tips.
I think we should do a tip segment and we can do a tip website.
And he says, good example.
And he gives me a process, not a tip at all, but a process for cleaning dishes and how to put them in the dishwasher.
And it's like 10 steps.
This is not a tip!
My tip is, skip the dishwasher, just wash them by hand, because when you use a dishwasher, you're handling the dishes twice.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay, that's Adam's tip.
Don't use a dishwasher.
Don't use a dishwasher.
That is my... Slave!
Slave!
S Oh, there you go, everybody.
I think we've brought you up to speed.
Your amygdala should be a normal size now.
We've scrubbed it clean.
Don't worry about it.
Everybody stay calm.
We'll be back on Sunday.
It's all gonna be good.
We have a couple of end of show mixes coming up.
We have Hugh Allison with a very funny one, a Kamala one, Dee's Laughs, and the Clip Custodian himself, Neil Jones, checks in.
He had time to do a mix, we appreciate that.
Coming up next, if you're listening at TrollRoom.io, the No Agenda stream, we have the MoFax with Adam Curry podcast, episode number 99, get it now while stocks last, only one more before the series ends, and that's it, it's all done!
And we will return to your regularly scheduled programming right after the Darino Rock and Roll Show on Sunday.
We'll do it live.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in Fredericksburg, Texas, FEMA Region No.
6.
Indeed, I love it here.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, California, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Stay tuned for Sunday's show.
Remember us at noagenthedonations.com.
Until then, adios, mofos, a-hooey, hooey, and such.
Here's the deal.
I'm gonna give you the whole load.
Kamala Harris looks terrible.
She has a number of problems.
To me, it still looks more like Botox than anything, except for the fact that I had to notice this the last time I looked at these horrible pictures.
And I kept dozing off at the computer, so I put that picture of Kamala Harris up there, and I look at it, and it just, boom!
I'm wide awake.
So, uh, it works.
It makes perfect sense that you might want to know.
That's just reasonable.
We've got a black-acting woman, but she ain't a dog, so I can't tell you.
I will give the United States Congress 108.
But this black-acting woman has got...
And if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action.
act together.
She got a spell on the baby.
And if they fail to do it, got a spell on the baby.
Then I will take executive action.
She got a spell on the baby.
They're so confused they can't see.
It's intense.
But this black acting woman, she came through AC and JCD.
I will take executive Biden takes one look at her, he's gonna jump just the way I do when I have her picture on the screen.
Biden's being pressured.
Joy Reid had him on her show and she was demanding, are you going to now, right now, tell us that you will be nominating a black woman?
Yeah.
What am I supposed to, the black man, by the way, which has to be a black woman, because Biden claimed he's going to pick a woman, which is stupid.
Why did you claim anything, dummy?
It has to figure out how... It has to get through its skull that you're going to have to use propaganda to win.
Yeah.
No agenda shop.
Let's make a slingshot.
Everything these days is a brand.
I mean, why not?
As a kid, all you needed was a Y-shaped stick and a rubber band.
Hit them in the mouth, trolls.
We understand.
Lawyer, liar, sounding similar to me.
Trump is doing material, getting better at each rally with his comedy, while he pulls in 50K.
Buffering Biden struggles to read the prompter or even walk away, but newcomer trading cards just make him NFTs.
There's a lifeguard shortage in NYC, please.
There's a lifeguard shortage in Mayor Adams, NYC.
Rich people hire private security.
Plant your drones to raid patroller pores.
That's for you and me.
Dispatch a digital beast.
Drone and alpha noise.
Drone assistance program will be given to our girls and boys.
Emerging tech will be used for crowd control.
Breaking up the protests are feeling grotesque.
Is that really the goal?
Money talks and BS runs a marathon.
Our city's been jacked.
New Toronto not looking good.
What is Arabia on?
In what way?
Elaborate on that, on that being a synopsis.
I mean, I definitely believe it, but in what ways?
I'd love to hear about that.
And like I told Barack, If I reach something where there's a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle, I'll... I'll develop some disease and say I have to resign.
