This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media assassination episode 1690.
This is no agenda.
Very demure, very mindful, and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering what the hell Kamala said in the interview that's been taped and edited, I'm John C. DuBois.
You barely made it through it.
It was hard.
Barely.
It was hard.
When does that air?
Tonight?
Yeah, it airs tonight at 9, Eastern.
It'll be groovy.
It'll suck.
It'll be all edited down.
There'll be CNN, a bunch of journalists that are going along with the program.
Oh, whatever you say, we'll cut this out, we'll cut that out, we'll take this and that.
It's gonna be just gross.
Who says they won't sabotage her?
You never know.
We don't know who's playing what these days.
I agree with that theory.
In fact, the latest thing with Kennedy... I do have a quick Kennedy thing that nobody seems to want to point out and I'm going to point it out.
On Jen Psaki's show, Carrie Kennedy came out to bitch about her brother.
Yeah, she has the same voice.
That was the joke.
I was leaning to that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You said no one wants to talk about it.
Everyone talks about it.
It was a hint.
Now is that genetic?
I thought that he had some kind of...
Well, yeah, it's a disorder.
It's called a spasmodic dysphoria or something.
It's got some crazy name.
But it's... play Kerry Kennedy first.
I got a clip here.
Yep.
I can't understand a word of her, by the way.
I completely...
Get out and separate and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr.
in this flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trample and set fire to my father's memory.
We shouldn't be laughing.
She can't help it.
No, I'm not laughing at the fact that we're laughing that she can't get what she was trying to get out.
She couldn't say it, but nobody has pointed this out except you just now.
Oh, she has this same disorder.
And, uh, and it, I looked into it.
So I read about it and it's caused by all kinds of different things.
One out of 50,000 people have it.
How about this?
Is it caused by inbreeding?
No!
That's the thing!
There is no evidence that there's anything genetic about it, so... Wow!
What are the odds that somebody else in the family would have it, unless it is genetic and they've got it all wrong?
Well, stay away from Mianisport, I guess.
There's something in the water up there that's no good.
There's something screwy about the fact that she has the same ailment.
But anyway, back to the other thesis.
So start looking into it.
I think it was Breitbart or Daily Caller, maybe Daily Caller, that brought out the fact that it was Sheryl Hines that told Bobby to talk to Trump.
Yeah, Daily Caller.
He also talked about it on Tucker's interview, which was a good interview.
Yeah.
Did you see it?
Did you see the whole thing?
No, I did not, but I know about the situation.
And since she's already bitched about the fact that he's joined forces with Trump, what's going on here?
What do you mean?
Well, first she says that she told him that he didn't want to talk to Trump because it would upset her.
She says, no, no, no, go ahead, talk to him.
So he talks to Trump and they make a deal and next thing you know he's on the Trump transition team.
This is so interesting.
We had a dinner last night with some of our friends who now actually think that the part of RFK is played by JFK Jr.
But they said, first thing, because you know we sit down, I haven't seen him for a couple weeks, sit down to dinner, he's a plant.
He's a plant.
RFK Jr.' 's a plant.
He's there to ruin everything.
As is Tulsi.
So... He may be a plant, but not to ruin everything.
Which is what you're implying.
Well, okay.
You're implying that he's a plant.
You know... No, he's not.
But he's not a plant.
I think Sheryl, we felt that she may be his handler.
We know it's a daughter-in-law, I think, that's a CIA person that wrote a book.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That she's the campaign manager.
Tulsi is, I think she's in the 321, or she's in some group, which is a... Intelligence group.
It's an intelligence operation.
Well, let's recall that RFK Jr.
said he wanted to clean up the CIA.
And so we have the Uncle Don old-school CIA, and then we have the woke nutjob CIA.
But I think it goes much deeper.
I mean, much, much deeper.
Just, you know, I've been reflecting on this and, you know, the title of the show is No Agenda, but at this point, all the wickedness and these nasty, horrible people Just, they're narcissistic psychopaths.
They really are.
Psychopaths, yeah.
Psychopaths.
And they've turned our country into a robber's den.
I mean, the whole, everything.
Here, just, this is how it works all the way down the line.
So my, uh, my other stepdaughter is coming in for my birthday, which is very nice.
She's coming in from Chicago.
And, uh, so she, she texts Tina this morning, says, Oh man, the TSA is now looking, you know, you have, you get that picture taken in the TSA line.
Now you can opt out of it, but of course most people don't.
And if you're, if the picture that they take of you does not match the picture on your ID, you're taken out of the line.
This is new.
And people are freaking out about it, even though it's supposed to be a test and you don't have to do it.
And this is, and by the way, I hate the game, not the players, because we have plenty of TSA agents, and I'm sure they're just as annoyed by this.
TSA just tweeted the other day, randomly, because it hasn't come up for at least nine or ten months, the tweet reads, peanut butter is a liquid.
We said what we said.
There was a whole segment on the Gutfeld Show about this.
Screw these people.
Screw this system.
Screw all of it.
Screw the IRS, the CIA, the FBI.
I mean, yes, I've seen the rationale for it, but it's beside the point.
This stems back to 2007 when a couple of nutjobs had some things that they never actually mixed and never exploded on the plane.
Well, that's like the shoe bomber.
Same thing.
He had firecrackers in his heel.
Meanwhile, we've got people fighting on airplanes.
Beating on each other.
Drawing punches.
Beating on each other.
It's time to clean this up.
And I choose to believe RFK Jr.
I choose to believe that he is 70 years old and he says, hey, I think I can save some kids.
And I'm all for it because in 10 years, I'm going to be 70, there's going to be no one left for Social Security and Medicare.
It's going to be done.
There'll be no one working.
We'll have no more kids.
I know you may not care anymore, but I care.
I don't care anymore.
Close the hatch!
Close the hatch behind us!
So the possibility that the two of them coming in, two strong characters with a fan base.
And Tulsi.
Add Tulsi.
I think she's... Yeah, no, I said the two of them.
Oh yeah, okay.
I said the two of them coming in, Tulsi and Kennedy, both with some sort of intelligence connections, may be there to keep Trump from doing the screw-ups that he's done in the past.
Yes, exactly.
Hiring your buddy Burks.
My buddy?
Oh, now it's my buddy.
Okay, alright.
And Fauci and people like John Kelly.
I was looking at John Kelly.
And Bolton.
How about Bolton?
Oh, Bolton.
Late in the game.
Got Bolton in there.
By the time Bolton came around, you'd think he'd have a clue.
So, this whole op that is Kamala Harris, which it is, and of course the media loves this.
Look at all the polls.
Neck and neck.
She's a little above Trump.
We've got a horse race, people.
Advertise now.
It's like, oh, okay.
Yes, advertise now.
Spend your money.
We don't want to see anything left in the coffers.
We're the media.
And you can't, all of it, all media is now no good.
We'll get to Telegram in a moment, but I need some of your historic knowledge for this.
Eric PP, who's one of the developers on Podcasting 2.0, he sent me a documentary and it's called, let me see, it's called The Ball of Confusion and it's about the 1968 DNC.
And of course, you know, there's a lot of... I may have seen this documentary.
Well, these are very short clips, but I just want to get your historic knowledge because Hubert Humphreys was, of course, there at the DNC.
And where was Hubert Humphreys from?
Minnesota.
Exactly.
So listen to what Hubert Humphrey was talking about back then in 1968 at the DNC.
He was a real optimist in politics and he called it the politics of joy and if ever there was a phrase that didn't fit 1968 it was that.
Here we are the way politics ought to be in America.
The politics of Of happiness.
The politics of purpose.
And the politics of joy.
And that's the way it's gonna be to all the way from here on out.
Yeah!
He believed in the Johnson domestic policies.
His conundrum was Vietnam.
So, very similar, this is history not repeating but rhyming, right down to, well, this blew me away.
So of course we had Nixon, not at the DNC obviously, but Nixon in the race.
Let's just replace Nixon right now for Trump in this clip.
The charge against Nixon was he couldn't win.
George Romney withdrew before the first primary in New Hampshire.
Rockefeller didn't amount to much, so he was really running against himself.
One of the things that now is almost an accepted fact is that Nixon had a, quote, secret plan to end the Vietnam War, that he had uttered these words.
He never said them.
The story, as I understand it, is that Rockefeller told a reporter that Nixon's running around saying he has a secret plan, and the reporter reported it in Nixon's mouth.
And for years, Nixon sought to dispel that, said he never said it.
Now, that sounds a lot like Judy Woodruff saying, oh, Trump told Netanyahu to keep it going so that he could stop the war.
Right, which he had to walk back.
Which he had to walk back, but then this clip makes it even more interesting in the context of Trump and Bibi Netanyahu.
We now know that Richard Nixon had asked Anna Chenault, who was the chairman of the Republican Women for Nixon, to be a back channel to the South Vietnamese, to encourage them not to participate in peace talks in Paris.
Under the Lyndon Johnson administration, because they would get a better deal with the Richard Nixon administration.
If, in fact, Richard Nixon played a hand in curtailing the peace talks in Paris, there's no doubt that that's a violation of the Logan Act.
And the Logan Act essentially prevents American citizens from getting in the way of American foreign policy.
It is essentially treason.
Now, Nixon, even though he was a former vice president, was a private citizen at that time.
So, he would have been covered by the Logan Act.
LBJ was furious!
They're contacting a foreign power in the middle of all this.
When he heard what Nixon's people, at least, were doing, and what Mrs. Chenault was doing, he was deeply angry.
He wanted to expose Nixon, but realized that if he did so, it would be obvious that he knew because of the illegal wiretaps.
I just love this!
So that's exactly what I... Talk about a den of thieves.
Yes!
So, you know, perhaps Trump is being wiretapped in Mar-a-Lago.
Judy Woodruff hears about it.
You know, she thinks it's from Axios because the old bag can't remember.
Sorry to be ageist about it.
And everyone's like, oh shi- We can't let anybody know that we actually know what's going on.
Yeah, well, they wiretapped him at Trump Tower and they made a big fuss about the fact that, oh, we didn't, even though it turned out that they did and it was discovered that they did, but they denied it.
This is ridiculous.
And then this one, of course, this is what LBJ did seven days before the election.
I have now ordered That all air, naval, and artillery bombardment of North Vietnam cease.
Yeah, that would be perfect for Joe.
It just sounds like Joe, even.
I have a new order to Israel stop bombing.
And my how things, this is the last one, my how things have changed since the DNC of 1968 when reporters were actually there reporting on protests and what was going on.
And this is a famous clip, I'd forgotten all about it.
This is Dan Rather who is trying to report on protests inside the DNC.
Mayor Daley really did have goons in that convention hall.
And any delegate who got out of line or started indicating that he or she was going to dissent, generally speaking, was either shown the door or was beaten up.
Take your hands off of me.
Unless you intend to arrest me, don't push me, please.
I know you won't, but don't push me.
Take your hands off of me unless you intend to arrest me.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Well, Walter, as you can see... I'm sorry to be out of breath, but somebody belted me in the stomach doing that.
What happened is a Georgia delegate, at least he had a Georgia delegate sign on, was, uh...
Being hauled out of the hall.
We tried to talk to him to see why, who he was, and what the situation was, and at that instant the security people, well as you can see, put me on the deck.
I didn't do very well.
I think we've got a bunch of thugs here, Dan.
So, you know, contrast that with the 2024 DNC where people hold up a sign.
There's no reporting on it from the mainstream, only someone who happened to have a cell phone.
Because they got the thugs in there.
Everyone's under control.
Shut up.
Shut up and play along.
This is the game.
We're all in it.
Joy.
It's joy, people.
The politics of joy.
Yeah, you know, John Chancellor was also beat up at the convention.
Who was John Chancellor?
He was a very famous correspondent.
I think he was on NBC.
There was a good, yeah, there was that report from what rather was one of many of these guys.
And they were out there reporting and they were actually doing a real job of it.
As opposed to today, where you just have a bunch of, in fact, what they, what the Democrats did in this convention was bring in a bunch of influencers.
So the place is crawling with them.
It's modern political warfare.
So I kept looking for joy and there isn't.
Joy?
She's on MSNBC.
Who?
Joy.
Now I kept looking for the politics of joy and these things just happened in the past four months.
Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign is being propelled by the Black Joy movement, which emphasizes celebrating black humanity beyond trauma and oppression.
And this has resonated deeply with her supporters in the face of political challenges and racial identity debates.
Yes, this is the Black Joy.
There's even an exhibit in Tennessee.
We only seem to truly focus on black people's trauma.
And while that is valid, while that is important, and while that needs to be studied, so does our joy.
Highlighting and showcasing our ability and our audacity to find joy in spite of everything that has been thrown at us is something that we should not only celebrate but honor.
And of course we had a black joy parade which you and I missed.
What is black joy?
Black joy is the joy of not only being black but just The culture that comes with this.
Black joy to me means the ability to express yourself authentically.
Us being able to come here is super important for the children, for the seniors, for everybody in between.
We're bringing Oakland to the world.
This is what we're like on an everyday basis, but we want everybody to see the black joy that we have.
We don't spend enough time celebrating ourselves.
We don't spend enough time just like basking in our own glory, if you will.
And we're worth it, and we deserve it.
So it's all subversive.
We should all be basking in our own glory.
It's all subversive.
We don't spend enough time, Adam, basking in our own glory.
No, we should do that more often on weekends.
Oh no, we work on weekends.
This is this whole campaign, the media, the entire administration, all of the agencies.
I mean, I don't know if we can ever reset all of this, but man, what a bunch of jag-offs.
All of them.
It's all just corrupt and narcissists and sociopaths.
Psychopaths and sociopaths.
They're crazy.
Crazy, I tell you.
And it seems to be being encouraged by social media.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
And I'm part of it.
You are.
I mean, I admit to it.
Yeah.
I mean, I'll take a look at these these TikTok mainly.
Yes.
These psychos that are on TikTok with their, you know, guys that pretend to be women or want to be women or think they're women or whatever.
And they're all made up and they're ugly.
It's not like they're attractive women.
They're very demure.
They're very demure.
They're not even demure.
They're psychotic.
And there's something compelling about watching a psychotic person rant about something.
I don't know what it is.
It's like, why is this person even available to do this?
They should be literally locked up.
They should be in an institution.
Well, it's part of the program, though.
I mean, the fact that it's all out there to such a degree and the algos are bringing it to you clearly, because the only time I see any of this stuff is when you post it.
So, the algos are tuned, they're fine-tuned into you.
They got him, man.
Look at this guy.
He's going to post all this crazy stuff.
He's nuts!
They're completely tuned into you.
Now, so, I think I'm going to change my thinking on this.
Wait, before you continue with this thesis.
They're not tuned in to me so much because I don't even have an account.
It's people sending them to me.
I link to, I look at that and then once I'm on that, looking at one psycho, the algorithm then gives me another psycho.
Well, I'm just, I'm just talking about X. But I'm not part of, I'm not being targeted.
But on X, I think you are.
And you have an account on X. You're reposting the stuff on X.
I don't know what you're doing on TikTok.
I mean, TikTok, I mean, I can't get onto it.
I just, I refuse.
Because I know what'll happen.
Oh, this is great.
You get sucked in.
So I think I'm going to change my opinion or my, my original thesis on this Telegram thing.
And I know you have two clips.
Let me just do this.
I have two clips.
Let me do this background.
Let me do this background to see if it lines up with you.
Telegram founder Pavel Djurov has been put under formal investigation and released under judicial supervision over allegations his messaging service is being used for illegal activities.
Allegations include that the platform is being used for child sexual abuse material, drug trafficking, fraud and abetting organised crime transactions.
Earlier this week, President Emmanuel Macron denied political motivations were at play.
It is up to the judiciary and full independence to enforce the law.
The arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing judicial investigation.
It is in no way a political decision.
It is up to the judges to rule on the matter.
But the Kremlin claims otherwise.
St.
Girod's detention caused shock throughout the world.
Don't meet it!
But it seems to me that, well, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole world experienced a greater shock than ever before from the actions of representatives of the Collective West.
Following Durov's arrest, Telegram said in a statement that it abides by EU laws and its moderation is within industry standards.
Durov is banned from leaving France due to the investigation.
So, whenever a statement comes out saying, this is not political, it's political!
But why?
Pavlov is not a politician.
So, and I admit freely, I'm somewhat influenced by the interview that Mike Benz did with Tucker, which I watched yesterday.
Are you familiar with Mike Benz?
I am familiar with Mike Benz, but I did not see this interview.
Do you have a clip?
I don't have a clip, and I have a question.
What does Mike Benz do for a living?
That's my question, because he seems to be everywhere telling everybody exactly how the State Department works and how the blob works, but how does he make money?
He's everywhere, but does he have a lot of ads?
That's just a question that no one seems to be asking.
So you just asked it.
We should find out.
Yeah, I hope to find out.
So the thinking and by the way, it's also influenced by this email from one of our producers who talks about the privacy features of Telegram, which turns out is not as great as I thought it was.
Yeah, so the early... I'm going to read verbatim here.
I felt that it was always full of holes, but... Oh, it's worse than you think.
The early team behind the start of Telegram, led by Nikolai Durov, that's Pablo's brother, I think, consists of six ACM champions, half of them PhDs in math, but they're not cryptographers.
Of course, there's only a handful of really good cryptographers in the world, probably.
Instead of using known standards, like PGP or GPG, That are well tested.
They created their own encryption standard.
Here we go.
And our boots on the ground dude named Ben says there are weak parts in it that will not surprise you if some three-letter agency might have compromised the telegram security.
Another big red flag is that by default the encryption of messages is not on Turning it on is only possible in a chat to another person.
You have to actively select that you want this encrypted.
So there's no encryption in channels or groups, which is the main use of Telegram.
There's no encryption possible in channels or groups.
Only the secret chats are encrypted.
And, of course, most people... I think they've changed it now, but most people have started their account with your own mobile phone number.
Which is why you don't have a Telegram account.
And all of the photos and files you share are all stored on their closed source servers for an unlimited time, also unencrypted.
So, this is a beautiful system.
And...
I think it's very possible, this is what Mike Benz was saying, that the Russians either they have access to the encrypted stuff or they have some other access and this is hurting The use of Telegram by Ukrainians, which is, you know, almost everybody in Ukraine is using Telegram, because Telegram is what you use, or used to use, when you started some kind of color revolution.
Pay a couple of guys in Germany, we saw that.
Was it the Belarus uprising, I think?
Two guys in Germany are managing the Telegram channel.
Well, that's suspicious.
And that this is why they want to try and get to Pavel, because this is one of the last systems that the agencies and the State Department have to control revolutions and get people all riled up, not by subverting their messages necessarily, but by using it as the main... it comes across as trustworthy.
So, I think this is where we need to have a hard look at Elon Musk.
Not Elon himself.
I mean, I've never liked him.
You know, he's like, oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech, but he isn't actually running X. That's Linda Iaccarino.
Well, before you continue, let's play my two Duroff clips.
Okay.
Just about the arrests.
These are generalized.
It's not anything.
I just want to get them out of the way.
In France, authorities have issued preliminary charges against Telegram CEO Pavel Durov for allegedly allowing illegal activities on his social media platform.
He's been released from custody on bail, but is not allowed to leave France.
Durov was arrested on Saturday at a Paris airport as part of an investigation that opened last month.
Russia-born Durov is also a French citizen.
Allegations against him include allowing his platform to be used in connection with child sexual abuse, drug trafficking, fraud and organized criminal activities.
French prosecutors also allege that Telegram refused to share information or documents with investigators when required by law.
French media AFP reports that Durov is also under investigation for, quote, serious violence against one of his children in Paris.
Oh, I hadn't heard this part.
That's interesting.
A little twist.
Serious.
So that's the that's the leverage, Pavel.
You serious violence against one of your kids, Pavel.
Look at this picture, Pavel.
What's that in your mouth, Pavel?
Part 2.
After Durov's arrest, Telegram issued a statement saying, quote, it is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform.
Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, who has called himself a free speech absolutist, has been speaking out in support of Durov and posted hashtag free Pavel.
Yeah, you know, so it seems to me that a guy whose main source of income is the U.S.
government could possibly be compromised to create a great free speech platform that now can be used instead of Telegram.
And I'm not saying that Elon himself is behind it, because if anyone is running that place, not for advertising success, because we know that's not working, it's Yacarino.
Who is a total mainstream insider.
NBCUniversal, starred the Peacocks, you know, was part of the Peacock streaming service team.
Ad Council.
She actually was in the Trump administration.
Didn't know this.
The President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.
Why?
I didn't know that either.
That's kind of obscure.
And, this is the best part, she has a twin sister.
Oh, the old twin.
The old twin sister bit.
Now, she's the one that keeps saying freedom of speech, not freedom of reach, so maybe she has her fingers on the dial.
You know?
And amidst all of this, all of a sudden we got Zuckerberg going... Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged being pressured by the Biden administration to censor content during the pandemic.
In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg says senior administration officials Push the company to censor certain posts about COVID on Facebook and Instagram.
Zuckerberg saying, I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction, and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again.
Zuckerberg also said he regrets hiding content about Hunter Biden before the 2020 election, including information about Biden's laptop after the FBI warned it may have been Russian disinformation.
And we just need to play a nice little supercut reminding us how the M5M treated us, the citizens, their customers, or really were their product, about the Hunter Biden laptop.
Never forget.
Obviously, we're not going with the New York Post story.
This is really one of the stupidest October surprises I've ever seen.
It helps to really view this as storytelling.
Not so much as news coverage, but as political entertainment.
NPR explained, we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories.
Who even thought to make that story up?
It's a story that many intelligence experts say has all the hallmarks of a foreign interference campaign.
It looks like it's tied to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
This is a Russian intelligence disinformation campaign.
Foreign intelligence operation.
Russian intelligence.
Rudy Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation.
He ordered it off the menu.
This is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.
And he's in the midst of a scandal.
He's not.
He's not.
No.
We should note Hunter Biden isn't running for president.
That argument has been debunked.
For all we know, these emails are made up.
It just lacks credibility.
Okay, I would love if you guys would start doing that digging and start doing that verification.
No, we're not gonna do your work for you.
It's interesting that a main player in there was Stelter at least three times and then of course Morning Joe jumps in.
These guys, of course Stelter's out, but these guys are so corrupt at MSNBC, CNN in particular.
All of them, John.
All of them.
Yes, but not to the extreme.
Come on.
The extreme that you get when you go to MSNBC is off the scale.
At least they fake it a little bit at the other networks.
Again, I blame Brian Roberts, the guy who runs Comcast.
He's the guy behind the whole thing.
Anyway, it appears to me that Elon may not have his fingers on the knobs.
And that Yacarino is the one we need to be looking at.
I'll give Elon the benefit of the doubt, but, you know, he did buy Twitter for $44 billion.
Banks can't unload this debt.
They've got $17 billion worth of debt which they want to sell for 30 cents on the dollar, because that's what the debt is now valued at.
So, you know, why?
Oh, just because you have money and you believe in free speech?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Well, another thing is I wonder how much of Elon's money this is because there's a lot of Saudi money.
It's not.
That's the point.
Everybody has influence in this thing.
That's my point exactly.
So that would account for the fact you'd have somebody else come in and actually run it.
Elon being a front man.
Yes.
And it's always great when they're making fun of the other team until it switches.
You know what I mean?
It's like, it's always great when they censor the bad guy stuff, but when they turn around and use the same tools on you, then it's not going to be so good.
So I'm just saying we need to be wary of that, and that the only place left for true free speech is podcasting.
I knew you were going there.
You know I was getting there.
And listen to... And so now they're... This is the PSYOP that's been going on for a long time.
It came to a head again this week.
Pod is dead!
Podcasting evolved away from Apple towards YouTube.
Oh, everyone watches podcasts on YouTube.
It's only YouTube.
They are trying so hard and to a degree succeeding.
At convincing everybody that podcasting is dead, it's only YouTube now.
I haven't heard this at all.
Well, I'm in the business.
I'm in the business.
Well, I'm in the business too.
Well, but you're not in the business like I'm in the business.
No, I'm not running a whole infrastructure system, but yes.
And, you know, I would be okay if they, I mean, they should at least offer to compromise me.
I'm a little disappointed by that.
Yeah, where's the money?
I don't know.
The podcast index is truly, and oh man, a lot of these hosting companies are in on it.
I'm not a lot, some of them.
I mean, it's a mess.
Are you betting on the corruption?
Yeah, I believe so.
Yeah, I believe so.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Like you said, you're... Take it down!
Take it down!
Take it down!
Oh yeah, there's some taking down going on.
They've already got, you know, Spotify, for sure, because, you know, Spotify, they've got Section 230.
This is why Zuckerberg, I think, is trying to cut bait and like, oh, well, you know, Trump's going to get in.
So I might as well say, hey, you know, because they cleared his letter clearly says they coerced us under a, you know, threat of Section 230.
Cue the ex-Facebook people going out and doing interviews.
It was peak COVID and peak debate about what was right or wrong information.
And the White House openly pressured tech companies to moderate the conversation.
We don't take anything down.
We don't block anything.
Our point is that there is information that is leading to people not taking the vaccine and people are dying as a result.
And we have a responsibility as a public health matter to raise that issue.
Zuckerberg says he now believes the government pressure was wrong, and he's ready to push back if it happens again.
Do you believe that Facebook is trying to suppress certain types of information?
No, I don't.
Katie Harbath is Facebook's former director of public policy.
He makes clear that they made their own decisions about this content.
I think that's really important.
All of the platforms did.
She argues that Zuckerberg's admission is an example of walking a fine line at a time of court challenges to tech companies over content moderation and regulation threats.
I think this is consistent with Meta wanting to pull back from politics and news overall and very much trying to stay out of this political fray this time.
Meaning, while the letter may say one thing, social media's relationship status with Congress remains complicated.
Let me clarify on the hosting companies.
What I learned is that a lot of these so-called platforms like Spotify, Apple as well, Amazon and iHeart, TuneIn, if you want your podcast there, it's not just like you put out your RSS feed and then they say, oh, I'm going to put this in.
No, your hosting company automatically opts you into their terms of service.
Which is exactly why we're not on Spotify, because they had Terms of Service.
Like, I'm not gonna sign any Terms of Service.
So, that's how the minute something happens that is not liked by the system, they can now just go to the hosting company and say, pull the plug, Terms of Service violation done, you're out, bye.
Per episode or per feed itself.
Yeah, and the problem, of course, is that With something like Spotify and people start saying, listening to our podcast on Spotify.
Yeah, idiots.
Idiots.
But yes.
They don't.
But let's say that we're a Spotify podcast and what would happen is that there'd be so many people gravitating toward that that once they pull the plug on us, they would have, they'd be like fish out of the water, you know, flapping around.
Where are we going to go?
I don't know.
And then you'd forget about the podcast.
You'd never find it someplace else.
And then you're done.
It's done.
And then you're done.
The podcast is ruined.
Yeah.
Yeah, you have to do your own.
It has to have a home base that's outside of these systems.
Now, when I signed up, I don't think my login even works anymore on Apple, but Apple also had Terms of Service.
I don't know if that, I'm sure it has changed since COVID.
A lot changed during COVID.
So, to bring it all back around, there's not a lot of places, if any, that we can really trust for freedom of speech.
Because you may think that you're, you know, you're in the Bozo filter.
You know, Linda Iaccarino may be dialing you down.
And certainly YouTube.
Oh yeah, get everybody on YouTube.
That's where podcasts are great.
Use a modern podcast app, people!
One that uses the index podcastapps.com.
So we will see what happens to Pavel, but I would say that the longer they keep him, although he's out on five million euro bail, can't leave France, I would say that it's going to become less trustworthy for everybody.
And then where do you go?
Signal literally takes money from the U.S.
government.
Well, NGOs that are funded by the U.S.
government.
So no.
You know, WhatsApp, which is a Facebook product or, you know, a meta product.
No.
So the control system is closing in on us.
And meanwhile, we're just here living the value for value life with no impact whatsoever.
We have no impact.
We have no impact.
We don't have impact in a In a threatening sense.
And why is that?
We do have impact in a subversive sense.
Ooh, I like that.
Explain.
Well, in other words, we have a subtext to everything we do, which is truth.
Yes.
And truth and understanding, which is a big deal.
In other words, figuring out what the news really means, who's behind it, what you just broke down with the Yacarino woman.
With a twin.
And the twin, yeah.
Elon may not know.
Elon may think that he's talking to Yacarino, but it's the twin.
And so that sort of thing gets into the public subconscious.
And that has a subversive effect on the way people think about things because they have some sort of realization that you wouldn't normally have.
And it's nothing you can put really stamp out.
It's just it's subtle.
And so that's what we do.
That's why there's nobody really that's what you like.
We don't appear to have influence.
So we're kind of like the the Paul Revere of podcasting.
We're just ringing the bell.
The British are coming!
We're just ringing the bell.
We're the Minutemen.
OK, well, I'm happy.
I'm happy that we're doing it, for sure.
I'm happy.
The people are happy that we're doing it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And they propagate.
That's the main thing.
I don't care whether you're happy or not.
And they do meetups and, you know, people in the meetups are like, what are these people?
Let me go stand over there.
What are they talking about?
And they learn things.
So we're a slow roll.
We're like the molasses of influence.
The molasses of subversion.
Exactly.
I think I've figured out what, this is actually quite good.
And it was predicted, it was all over the place during COVID and we never Really followed through on it, and I think that we're finally getting there.
I'll start with this clip, just because you understand what the true evil is in our world.
It's not viruses anymore.
No.
No, it's mosquitoes.
Listen, there's a lot going on, especially here in South Florida, where we already have experienced West Nile, and dengue, and Zika, and now we have this illness to concern ourselves with.
Sloth fever, or sloth flu, is what it's sometimes called.
Decades ago, researchers first investigating the virus found it in a sloth, and it was thought the animals helped spread the disease.
You might have gotten it from a sloth that had been bitten by a midge.
You might not have.
You might have gotten it from a midge that had bitten somebody else.
Okay, so mosquitoes, they add in midges because it's just funny because it makes you think of midges.
Love the midge!
So mosquitoes, and what creates mosquitoes?
And this is the part that we stopped thinking about.
And to Health Watch this morning, the mosquitoes are bad out there and we are looking at new concerns over diseases spread by those mosquitoes.
A New Hampshire man recently died from eastern equine esophagitis.
Encephalitis.
I knew I was going to screw that one up.
It's a rare illness.
No vaccine, no treatment.
In Massachusetts, some towns in response are now spraying for mosquitoes and also urging people to stay inside in the evening and nighttime when the mosquitoes are out.
CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder asked the CDC director Mandy Cohen if climate change is affecting these kinds of outbreaks.
You know, the impact of heat on our health and climate change is not only impacting us as humans, but it's changing where mosquitoes and ticks live, and thus what diseases are moving around in different regions.
We're just seeing more bugs.
And some of those bugs are becoming resistant to our control methods.
Due to climate change.
That's right.
We forgot all about this.
They kept saying, oh no, the next pandemic will come from climate change.
Eastern equine encephalitis.
Equine means horses.
We're not horses.
What can you tell us about it?
Why is it hurting people?
Well, this is something that we see with many infectious diseases, that the host might be another animal, maybe a bat, which is what we suspect with COVID, for example, or with Ebola.
But in this case, what we think is happening is horses, perhaps other animals are the host.
Mosquitoes are biting them and then transmitting that infection to humans.
And what's better than mosquitoes?
Because it's just as scary.
Oh, I walked outside and I saw a mosquito.
Oh, I've got to wear a hazmat suit to my pickleball game.
Oh no, and it's all because of climate change!
So the CDC director Cohen talked about the big factor of heat playing a significant role, and we know the CDC has said mosquitoes are the world's deadliest animal.
What more can be done when it comes to addressing these issues, finding treatments and vaccines?
Well, climate change is creating the right breeding ground for mosquitoes.
So you have hotter, more humid, longer summers, which means people are coming into contact with mosquitoes that much more, and so therefore mosquito-borne infections.
What can we be doing?
Well, the really most important thing is to be controlling the mosquitoes.
So there are some traditional ways of doing that.
You want to drain your standards.
water, you want to be spraying, and there are some newer technologies there to control mosquitoes that don't involve pesticides.
Some of those are being piloted in places like the Florida Keys, where you have lots of mosquitoes.
But we still have a lot to go in terms of developing treatments or vaccines.
Now, let us all remind ourselves that it is Bill Gates, because of course, wherever there's something nasty, there's the nasty man himself, Bill Gates, who was genetically modifying mosquitoes so they wouldn't reproduce.
They don't talk about that right now.
At least I haven't found any clips.
And in 2007, he was already talking about mosquitoes.
Remember when he released mosquitoes into the TED conference?
Illegally.
Yes.
And was like, you should have been arrested on the spot.
So, put all of that together, climate change, Bill Gates, mosquitoes, and, you know, I guess in Massachusetts, we played that clip on the last show, like, oh, you might want to stay inside because, you know, climate change, mosquitoes, oh no!
Just as an aside before you continue, there has been less and less mosquitoes in this area than ever.
We have none here.
Yeah, I know.
And it's like, and there's two things going on that have to be addressed with the mosquitoes.
One, it's windier than usual.
And when it's windier, the mosquitoes, once they get it, they are not a bug that is, that can fly around in a wind.
They just get blown to someplace else.
They get blown away and that's the end of them.
And so we've had more wind than usual, which is, that, you could say, well, climate change is causing winds, and if climate change is causing winds, the winds are blowing away the mosquitoes, so there can't be more mosquitoes.
There is a problem, it's a conundrum, in logic, with these mosquitoes.
You drive on the freeway, right?
From time to time?
I do drive, of course I drive.
Well?
I can't get on the freeway!
What are you talking about?
Of course I drive on the freeway.
Just asking, because now the follow-up question is, when's the last time you had to scrape bugs off of your windshield?
Excellent point.
When I was a kid, we would drive down 99 or whatever to, say, LA.
We were just driving anywhere.
Well, there's two things here.
I've thought about this too.
You used to get so many, you'd just get the windshield be filled with bugs.
But the car's aerodynamics have changed so much that the bugs don't hit the windshield anymore.
They go up and over.
That's one supposed reason.
But you have a 30-year-old Lexus.
Very aerodynamic car.
But besides that, it doesn't excuse the fact that the grilles, which aren't as aerodynamic, don't have the bugs either.
Right.
So there's something.
We don't have the flying insect problem we had, I'd say, 50 years ago.
Nope.
But, even though this morning it was 72 degrees in August in Texas, where my lawn is green for the first time that I've lived in Texas for 15 years, somehow it's the hottest year on record!
This morning, record-breaking heat spreading across more of the U.S.
It's warmer than I like.
It's a little hard to breathe.
The higher temperatures, a growing concern as a new study shows.
Growing concern.
The number of heat-related deaths in the U.S. skyrocketed by 117% between 1999 and 2023.
We saw more heat-related deaths.
Wait, wait.
Yes.
Stop the clip.
Do they give us actual numbers or are they just going by percentages?
It's just percentages.
It went up 100% from 1 to 2.
Well, we also have 100% more people homeless on the streets who may just be frying and dying.
There's that.
18% between 1999 and 2023.
We saw more heat-related deaths in 2023 than we ever have in the 20-some years of records.
And that's definitely still an undercount.
More than 21,000 heat-related deaths were reported over the last two decades, scientists citing climate change.
Wait, stop it again.
It gets better at the end.
If you're going to play this kind of garbage, you're going to get stopped a lot.
It's ABC, man!
She says, if you're going to play a always becoming... Climate change.
So, if you're going to play this stuff, I have to interrupt it.
Yes, it's okay.
She said something very peculiar in there.
She says, we don't get these numbers, blah blah blah, and we have this number that's more than ever before, and it's undercounted.
Well how do you know it's undercounted if you never have these numbers?
Because it's a lie.
This is all psychological warfare and we're propagating it for free for them.
Well, no, we're actually... I think we're counter-propagating it.
We are.
But this notion that it's undercounted... Well, wait until you hear what he says at the end.
20-some years of records, and that's definitely still an undercount.
Definitely.
It's not just... Definitely!
It's definitely undercounted.
If it's definitely, then give us the real count, lady!
If you know it's an undercount, it's definitely an undercount, what is the real number?
Then you should be able to do it.
She's not going to tell you.
It's not interactive that way.
She can't hear us.
And by the way, did she ever give actual numbers or just percentages?
No, just a hundred and seventeen percent.
More than 21,000 heat-related deaths were reported over the last two decades, scientists citing climate change.
The weather is so hot.
After starting their first day of school yesterday, Bye!
Students at 63 public schools in Philadelphia will be sent home early today and tomorrow.
We do not have air in our cafeteria and in our auditorium.
What?
There's no air!
There's no air?
No air!
I think she means air conditioning, but yeah, we'll do the Dvorak.
What?
No oxygen?
No air?
Here in our cafeteria, in our auditorium.
Some schools in Iowa also dismissed early due to high temps and no AC.
At 7 o'clock it was already 86 or 87 degrees.
Oh no!
By the time I leave at 1, it'll be in the 90s.
Hey, this is considered good weather 87.
It's beautiful!
People go to Hawaii just to be in 87 degree weather.
But now you're dying from it?
It's called summer.
In Detroit, students will be sent home early again today, frustrating parents.
They knew the weather was going to be rather hot, and they know they don't have accommodations in a school to where they're providing A.C.
The heat fueling more calls to invest federal funds and outfitting more schools with AC.
The extreme heat continues for several days.
Triple digits are possible in Nashville today, and Chicago could set a record.
I've been to Chicago before this climate change nonsense.
And it could set a wet record, but it's not going to.
Oh, but wait, it gets better.
I lived in Chicago.
Yeah.
It's hot and humid.
It's terrible in the summer.
Listen to the last numerical statistics.
You'll love it.
With feel-like temperatures in parts of the Midwest reaching... Oh yeah.
Did you hear it?
I, you know, I was watching this with Jay the other day.
Feels like.
It feels like.
Now it's just feels like temperature.
It feels like temperature.
It feels like, oh, and then they, here's the worst part.
They put a map up, and they put all these temperatures up, but they weren't temperatures at all.
They were all feels like.
Yes.
So you had 115, 110, and it was just a map of all these very high temperatures, but none of them were real.
They were all feels like.
Yes.
And you could feel, well, right now, let me think.
Right here in the podcasting room, it feels like 200 degrees!
Maybe I should take this shirt off.
It feels like 200 degrees in here.
No!
Don't take the shirt off!
Whatever you do.
Multiple digits are possible in Nashville today, and Chicago could set a record with feel-like temperatures in parts of the Midwest reaching 115 degrees.
As for that study on heat-related deaths, researchers say the uptick has been especially high in the last seven years, which scientists say proves the impact of climate change.
Due to climate change.
It's all due to climate change.
Oh, the last seven years and because it's happened in the last seven years, not the last one million years, by the way, but the last seven years proves it proves it because it's gone on for seven years, supposedly gone on for seven years.
We don't even know that to be true.
Yeah.
So we got the hot weather.
It's moisture.
We also have corn sweat.
I didn't pull the clip, but that's another new one.
What's corn sweat?
Corn sweat is, you know, when it gets warm, then every, every living plant exudes moisture.
And so they show a map and like, oh, look at this in the, in the corn region.
It's a very, it's very bad mosquitoes because of corn sweat.
Oh, you blew it.
Didn't get that clip.
Well, I can actually find it for you.
No, don't worry about it.
You already gave away the punchline.
Here, corn sweat.
Let me see.
Scientific American.
Here we go.
Corn sweat and climate change bring sweltering weather to the Mideast.
A heat wave is... Corn sweat.
So it's corn sweat that's bringing the weather.
Is that what it said?
Yeah.
There's a reason why this map of corn production looks so similar to this map of heat risk in the U.S.
today.
And the answer... Heat risk.
Another good one, John.
Heat risk.
Heat risk.
Wow, I like that one.
That's a show title.
Heat risk.
...in the U.S.
today.
And the answer is corn sweat.
Yes, corn sweat.
Corn sweat is a truly excellent term for something that's really known as evapotranspiration.
Evapotranspiration!
This is why I didn't pull the clip because it's not a news clip.
It's some he-she thing talking.
It's something that all plants do.
It's releasing water into the atmosphere when it grows to regulate temperature.
But corn does this especially well, and where there's lots and lots and lots of corn grown, like in the Midwest, it actually has a measurable impact on the humidity of the area.
Corn sweat!
I think that's the show title right there.
Corn sweat.
I'm agreeing.
Corn sweat.
Oh man.
We're just making it up as we go along.
What can we sigh off these idiots with now?
Corn sweat.
Oh, good one.
And you know what comes from corn sweat?
Mosquitoes.
And you know what comes from mosquitoes?
Sloth fever.
And Zika.
And dengue.
Yes.
And sloth fever.
And equine encephalitis.
Yeah, there's 11 cases a year on average every year, year in and year out, and there's one so far.
So let's just get that out of the way.
Which I think is treatable with ivermectin, I believe.
Could be.
Yeah.
It's a strategy of tension, just build it up, build it up, build it up.
Oh, think of the children.
Why do the schools not have air conditioning?
We spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on stupid books and... Stupid books!
Stupid books!
Really stupid books that go into the schools.
Dumb books.
Uh-oh!
My first blowjob at 12!
But we don't have A.C.
for these children?
By Bill Clinton, by the way.
Yeah.
Hey, yo.
We need to stop this.
A lot of schools have AC. - I see.
Yes, but not the ones in the report.
Not in Chicago.
Apparently not in Chicago.
Did you go to school when you lived in Chicago?
I did, of course.
Did they have air conditioning?
I don't remember.
Did they have heating in the winter?
You'd hope they would.
Boy, you have to have heating in the winter.
Yeah.
It's cold, too.
Yeah.
Chicago's got extreme climate.
Yes.
Always has, though.
It gets super cold in the winter.
Yeah.
And miserable.
And miserable.
Yeah.
And it gets extremely hot and muggy in the summer.
And there's a good period of time.
There's probably four months out of the year, just before summer and just after summer, where it's really super nice.
It's so nice.
Yeah.
Oh, so nice.
That's it.
You get four months out of the year.
Tina comes from Chicago.
Ridiculously nice.
Yeah.
There's always been.
But she didn't hear about Corn Sweat, because she grew up in Indiana.
Never heard of Corn Sweat, strangely enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there we go.
All right, back to you, Bob.
Well, what else we got here?
Well, I'm going to let you do some stuff.
You know, I want to get this out of the way.
I didn't want to get these clips, but I'm going to do them.
This is about Jack Smith and rejiggering the... Oh, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is good.
I didn't want to get him, but it turns out that there's interesting material in here.
This is... I got four... It's a four-parter, plus an analysis.
So it turns out to be a lot more than I wanted, but it's all short.
I mean, one of the clips is 13 seconds, so it's not going to kill anybody.
Good.
So let's go with Jackson.
and this is all from NTD.
This is NTD.
Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin called the superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump heroic.
And I think there's something quietly heroic about That's exactly right.
He's trying to make the law work.
Trying to make it work.
Trying to make the law work.
He just admits it.
Donald Trump tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.
So Jack Smith is trying to make the law work in the way it was intended to.
Wow.
That's exactly right.
He's trying to make the law work.
Trying to make it work.
Trying to make the law work.
He just admits it.
He's just finagling everything to try and squeeze it into the law to make it work.
All right.
Jamie Raskin is a dick.
Jamie Raskin is a problem.
He is, I'd say, top of the list of people we need to get out of there.
Yeah, he's a terrible person.
He looks evil.
If you look at him, he's just an evil looking guy.
Yeah.
And he's like all in.
He has this theory that it is, I don't have the clip on this list, but he came out with saying, we're going to not let Trump take office if he wins.
Yes.
Yeah.
He said, uh, we're going to have to have a secret service protection for everybody in Congress because we're going to get them out.
And you know, basically saying we'll have a civil war, but we'll be protected.
Yes, I heard that clearly.
Basically, that's what he said.
Exactly.
Yeah, that's what he said.
He is a very horrible person.
He's a horrible man.
Okay, part two.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson posted on social media that Donald Trump continues to be the most persecuted politician in the history of the U.S.
Speaker Johnson added that special counsel Jack Smith has brought yet another bogus indictment and that Americans are sick of his corruption and shameless lawfare.
Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lovebrin from California aimed her criticism at the Supreme Court's ruling last month on presidential immunity and blamed former President Donald Trump for the events of January 6th.
The Supreme Court made really a radical decision granting Trump immunity, a bizarre case.
The judge has to have an evidentiary hearing to find out what is the evidence supporting this slimmed down indictment.
But I mean, one thing is abundantly clear.
The former president summoned a mob to Washington.
Who was that speaking?
Our local idiot Zoe Loughran.
Oh!
Zoe is still around?
Wasn't Zoe a trans?
No, no.
Then I think of someone else.
No, she just looks trans.
She's an ugly woman from the Bay Area.
Oh, they're so judgmental.
Well, we're handsome, luckily.
That's what we do.
No, we're not.
Yes, we are.
You can make a judgment about somebody being ugly when they're ugly.
I mean, I don't think there's any reason not to make this judgment.
I'm with you.
I'm glad you said it.
You know, I've never been condemned for that.
People are afraid of you and they can't spell your last name so they don't know how to email you.
So they email me instead.
So we go, now we get to hear something that you may have heard elsewhere.
Let's go to clip three.
Senator and vice presidential candidate J.D.
Vance defended the Supreme Court's ruling regarding presidential immunity and dismissed the superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump as election interference.
And you know, the way that I think about it is, try to make this non-partisan.
Barack Obama ordered drones to strike an American citizen in Yemen.
That's like the definition of murder, unless you recognize the president has some immunity in conducting his official act.
There's Vance, doing the translation.
Doing his job.
But he does.
He does it well.
And the fact is, and he's the first guy I noticed that really brought it up, which is that Obama, if you didn't have this immunity decision by the Supreme Court, Obama would be liable for murder.
And the only thing Vance didn't do is bring up the fact that after murdering the American citizen, he murdered his son a few days later.
Yeah, well, you know.
That innocent 16-year-old kid.
Drinking a coffee.
Drinking a coffee, minding his own business.
But no, that's okay.
Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
Alright, onward.
It is important to note that despite criticism against special counsel investigations against former President Donald Trump, House Republican leadership has decided not to pursue the strategy of defunding the Department of Justice through the appropriations process.
What?
Wait, this is the, the reason I ended with this clip was, uh, this is the typical Republicans and they've been doing this and they do it and do it.
And they, Holly just did it with a, by bringing on one of the showboat and then nothing happens.
Yeah, showboat.
In fact, he actually, for all practical purposes, he had, I don't have the clip, but he had Granholm.
Yeah.
And he's lecturing her about how she lied.
Wait a minute, she lied to Congress?
Where is the indictment for lying to Congress?
Now, if it was a Republican in the olden days and a Democrat, the Democrats were running Congress, they indict them.
Yeah, they're much better at that.
You're indicted for lying to Congress.
They're much better at that stuff.
What's there to do?
You just send the indictment through.
They won't do it.
They just keep harassing him, haranguing him, and looking good by being a showboater like Hawley, and then you do nothing.
You do absolutely nothing.
These Republicans are ridiculous.
I would have more respect for Hawley if he just said, hey Granholm, you're ugly, and you got big ears.
I'd have respect for him if he said that, but no.
I wouldn't call her ugly.
I have some stuff here on this.
There's the last clip.
This is the analysis.
It was a long analysis.
I only took part one, but I didn't clip anything else.
Earlier we spoke with Zach Smith, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former federal prosecutor about the superseding indictment.
Zach Smith, thank you so much for joining us.
Great to have you back on the show.
Now to begin, what changes were made to this newest indictment?
The original four charges haven't changed, so what's different here?
- Yeah, this is a little bit of an unusual situation for a superseding indictment.
A superseding indictment typically means that prosecutors are adding additional charges against a defendant, but that's not what Jack Smith did in this case.
As you mentioned, Jack Smith left the four original charges intact, but he essentially changed the factual predicates underlying those charges.
For instance, he removed references to Donald Trump's conversations with Justice Department officials in the wake of the 2020 election.
He added some language to make clear that, in his view, certain actions Donald Trump took in his private or political capacities rather than in his official capacity.
And he also added some additional language relevant to some of the other charges, again, trying to emphasize that those were private rather than official acts.
And the reason Jack Smith took these actions, the reason he made these amendments, is to try to get around the immunity ruling that the U.S. Supreme Court recently released, where the court said that presidents, including Donald Trump, are immune from prosecution for actually taking their official capacity while in are immune from prosecution for actually taking their official capacity while So I have an analysis from our constitutional lawyer, Rob.
Oh, Rob.
Who read everything.
And I shall read this for us right now.
It's relatively short.
Under the SCOTUS ruling, the charges can't go forward unless Smith can show that the alleged conduct is either 1. an unofficial act or 2. an official act that doesn't fall within the outer perimeter of the President's official responsibility and is not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority.
This is a difficult burden for Smith to satisfy.
The outer perimeter beyond his authority language captures a vast range of presidential conduct.
This is all as per the Supreme Court.
So it will very likely encompass the conduct alleged in the new indictment.
To the extent it does, the courts must presume that Trump is immune and Smith will have to overcome that presumption, according to Rob, a very tall order.
And remember, There's still the lingering issue raised by Justice Thomas that Jack Smith's appointment is invalid under Article 2 Appointments Clause because there's no law that establishes Smith's office.
If Trump wins the election, this case will die.
DOJ doesn't prosecute sitting presidents as a matter of policy.
And one thing he says we should keep in mind, if the M5M and Dems ...claim that this is a nail in Trump's coffin, they will have to simultaneously retreat from their incompatible claim that SCOTUS gave Trump total freedom to do whatever he does, or whatever he wants to do.
So this is... Really, all this is, is just a setup for questions during the debate.
That's all that this is.
That's why Trump immediately started fundraising off of it, as witnessed by another 8 million text messages!
Yeah.
It's really, it's so lame.
Let me guess, these are on a phone that you carry with you for some reason?
You're carrying a phone around wherever you go?
It's just a text number.
It's just a text number.
So this is, it's all just about this debate.
Can you call back, by the way, when they send you one of these messages?
Let me see.
That's a very good question.
I would call them back, say, hello, you keep sending me these messages.
You want to talk?
What's the reason for this?
That's a very good question.
Let me see.
This is an alert from Donald Trump.
Okay.
I was just indicted again.
Please read my response to special counsel.
No, I'm not going to read.
I'm going to call him back.
Let's see if I'm going to call.
It's not in service.
Please check the number and dial again.
Oh, it's not in service.
Let's try another one.
Because I have a lot from President Trump.
This is Donald Trump Jr.
Let's call Jr.
Let's see what Jr.
says.
Give him a call.
See what he has to say.
Oh, disconnected right away.
Um, let me see.
Uh, from Trump, who's asking for $10.
Let's see.
And invalid number.
Now, this is all bogus.
Wait a minute.
It's a 213 number, too.
You're getting phone calls, message phone calls, in other words, a message through a phone, and you call the number and the number is bogus.
This is no different than a number from Taiwan, China, the Philippines, India, Bombay.
Hey, let's call Rand Paul.
Let's see what he has to say.
He's in Virginia.
Oh, no.
Invalid number.
Okay.
Oh, gee.
Isn't that crazy?
I can't even hang up.
If you can't call him back, why would you send him money?
It sounds like you don't know who it is you're sending to.
Could be anybody.
Could be anybody.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Welcome to the modern era.
Yes.
Hey, I got an interesting clip here from our buddy, Becky Worley.
Have you spoken to Becky recently?
No, I should have lunch with her.
I used to have lunch with her once a year.
Yeah, but she's in L.A., isn't she?
No, she's in the peninsula, as far as I know, and then she moved.
Oh, you need to go up there.
You need to go visit her and the kids.
It's not up, it's down.
Go down there.
Go down to Becky Worley.
I've always liked Becky Worley.
I always feel sad because she is nothing like the stupid reports they make her do.
But she's playing the game.
She's got kids and a wife.
Yeah, she is a she's a hard worker.
She's good at what she does.
She's always was behind.
She was a producer originally, always behind.
I first met her when she was at MSNBC when it was a different kind of network.
And she was always the producer of shows.
And then she but she had the look and feel of a person who had front of camera.
She was good looking on camera.
She's photo telegenic.
She is.
She's a little harsh in person, a little more Well, that's not the right word.
Harsh.
Maybe it is the right word.
She's a good looking woman in person.
Yes.
She's not ugly like Jamie Raskin.
No, she's telegenic and she's very good on the camera.
I guess she's always felt that way.
So once she got to the other side of the camera, she stopped doing producing, from what I can tell.
And she's good.
I think she's very talented.
She's personable.
Well, I think she is adding something to the Harron Hooker's report for the economy.
And it's something I've not yet asked the Zoomer about, but I take this to be very credible.
Luxury or affordability, right?
But what if you could have them both?
That's the premise fueling a rise in Gen Z and millennials shopping for so-called dupes instead of brand-name goods.
But what's the downside as we all search for value?
This morning, influencers are touting so-called dupes with pride.
Don't go buy leggings for that much money when you can get these for half the price.
It's the same product.
It's the same thing.
It's the same thing.
It's always really fun to find a really great affordable alternative to something because you're helping your friends out and you can tell them like, hey, you've been using this.
Here's this.
And then they can put more money towards bills instead of foundation.
Anna Pothier has a series on her socials where she breaks down the active ingredients in high-end products and shows less expensive options with the same components.
Everything that's highlighted in yellow here is also highlighted in yellow here.
Saving money on items is now becoming something that's a little bit in vogue.
It's cool to be wearing something that is less expensive but looks like the expensive brand.
And Herzog, who wrote a book on counterfeits, says these so-called dupe products are different from illegal knockoffs.
A dupe product doesn't necessarily mean counterfeit.
What it does mean is that it is a similar product, but less expensive than the original product.
When you're talking about a counterfeit item, you're talking about an item that's pretending to be like the original item, down to the name of the item.
But experts do say buying these products brings up other issues worth considering.
Dupes do not come with extended warranties.
You have a very specific time that you need to return that in.
This is, um, this is what the shopfluencers are doing.
And let's just face it, everything comes from China here.
Everything we buy in America, pretty much everything comes from China.
And you can get the exact same product.
And they're not talking about brands like Gucci, but everything else from the makeup products, which I looked it up, the Amazon Influencer Program.
Number one is games, online games.
You can get 20% VIG on the games.
Right after that, it's beauty and makeup products.
Which is a big deal on Instagram, as you know, all the makeup tip influencers.
And I think that this is an interesting development.
And it goes right along with the lab-grown diamonds.
It's all part of the same thing.
We got a note from Jessica, who used to work in the diamond industry.
And she says, lab-grown diamonds are a great way to sell jewelry to people who cannot afford the price tag of natural diamonds.
They're also a good way for jewelers to make money, as you can slap a huge markup to a lab-grown and it will still come out cheaper than the real thing.
She says, however, people discover when they get divorced and try to sell their lab-grown diamond back to a jewelry shop, it's basically worthless.
It makes nothing but sense.
Makes nothing but sense.
So we're just living in this fantasy land of expensive products which you don't really need to buy the expensive... You're the king of this.
We should do tips on dupes.
A dupe tip.
Well, I've always been a fan of these things.
Of course!
You're a frugal man.
And I have... well...
For good reason.
Yeah.
And I've always had been a fan of the Canal Street counterfeit watch business.
It's gone.
It's gone.
I think is not what it once was. - It's gone, it's gone. - It's gone, but my favorite counterfeit watch, and I became pretty good at spotting other people who have counterfeit watches.
I've gone out to dinner with business.
Do you think, you know, you're kind of an expert on this.
Is this watch that my mother-in-law gave me, is this a real Rolex?
Well, that's counterfeit.
That's not a dupe.
That's a counterfeit.
Yeah, it's the counterfeits.
Counterfeits are a part of the, I see, they poo-poo counterfeits.
No, no, it's, I believe, I think, like you, that a lot of the, especially when it comes to bags, handbags, for sure, it's all from the same factory.
It's the same stuff.
I went to Korea one year and I, there's areas where you can get these, what you, bags.
Bags.
And they had Eddie Bauer bags for Well, there's a blast from the past.
It was a while ago.
Is Eddie Bauer still a brand?
These Eddie Bauer bags, and they were beautiful, and they had the logo, everything was there, and I realized that a lot of this stuff that you get from these counterfeiters is not really counterfeit.
It's end of run.
End of run, yes.
They overproduce.
They overproduce.
They get an order for $10,000.
They crank it up and then they can't stop the line fast enough and there's an extra $1,000 to fall off the back.
Well, what do we do with these?
So they sell them at cost or twice cost.
So instead of 50 bucks for the bag, it's 10 or $8.
But now you're seeing that the brands, the companies that advertise on television, they have a problem.
I'm surprised that Becky even was allowed to do this particular item that she did.
Because it's going to cut into these huge, luxurious brands.
The margins, yeah.
Yes!
The margin is their game.
Oh, man.
I remember my first wife had a cosmetics company.
The only reason I agreed to it is one, to shut her up.
And the second one, well there's two reasons.
The second one is the margins were incredible.
It's just goop.
You know, like eyebrow pencils.
It all comes from one factory in Germany, or at least back in the day.
I don't know if Germany produces anything anymore.
The men, Schwan.
Schwan pencils.
It's where you get all your pencils, including your H2, HB2 pencil, everything.
It all comes from one factory.
And it's all about the packaging.
It's all about packaging.
That's where you mark it up.
We're living in a fake world, John.
We are.
It's fake.
It's phony.
And it's only a matter of time until they call compounded GLP-1s dupes.
They're already trying to make it look like it's counterfeit because, oh, we can't cut it.
It's the same thing.
We can't cut into the margins.
It's the same chemical.
A chemical's a chemical.
Yep.
Sodium chloride is salt no matter how you cut it.
That's right.
No matter how you make it, no matter how you let it evaporate from the water, no matter how you get sodium chloride, it's still sodium chloride.
I'm laughing at the troll room.
The world is fake and gay.
Okay, well you summed it up.
There you go.
And just to prove these margins how crazy it is and the fake world we're living in, which you can opt out of, Eli Lilly made a nice, interesting move the other day.
Tonight, the drug maker Eli Lilly is making its popular weight loss drug, ZepBound, more affordable for anyone whose insurance won't cover it.
ZepBound will now be sold on the Eli Lilly website with a prescription.
The cost is about half of the retail price.
It's half.
Why is it half?
This, of course, is not for people... And they're still making money.
Yes.
This is not for people with insurance.
This is for people whose insurance won't cover it.
And all of a sudden it's half.
But okay, let's put it on Medicare so everybody else can pay for it at full price, full markup.
No, no, no, no, no.
Maybe one day people will catch on.
I don't know.
No.
How's that going to work?
How's that even possible?
But if they listen to this podcast...
Well, we'll have a million people that kind of catch on, but even so, we've noticed, even the listeners to our podcast, the producers, every so often they come up with some note that they send us that they've, they've lockstuck, they've been hook, line and sinker into some scam of some sort that, you know, you hope that they would be immune to based on what we keep saying.
Do you have an example?
No.
Do you have an example?
I don't have one off the top of my head, but it happens all the time.
It's sad.
It's just that you can't beat back mainstream media and it's browbeating of the public.
Well, it is slowly, slowly disintegrating.
No, it's not.
You're a dreamer.
You're the idealist.
I have hope.
I have at least ten more years of hope on you.
That's why.
I'm still in that hope phase.
Good luck.
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 cornsweat.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora!
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, and good morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
Well, let me check this out.
This is very odd.
The troll count seems to be low.
Troll count?
This thing is funny, huh?
We must have, uh, the corn sweat has devoured them.
1870 seems low for a Thursday.
Don't we usually have more on a Thursday?
No, we usually have 1,700.
Let me see.
Oh, I'm sorry, you're right.
Let me see.
No, the last Thursday was 1,889.
Oh, you're right.
No, it's about right.
I'm sorry, you're right.
1,870.
So we're on par.
Hey, trolls!
How you doing?
Are you corn-sweating in that troll room?
You can join them, by the way, by going to trollroom.io.
You can listen to the No Agenda stream 24-7 live.
So, we're on TuneIn.
You know the app TuneIn?
No, I don't.
It's a streaming radio app, and you can use TuneIn to listen to radio streams from radio stations, and the No Agenda stream is on there.
It's been on there for a long, long time.
Yeah, that's good, but when you tap on it, because I have it in the car, this is for some reason, and it has it, you know, you can get SiriusXM and TuneIn.
Okay, so I listen to TuneIn.
And it starts off with two ads!
They're just jacking ads in front of stuff.
That's lame.
It's a rip-off.
So don't use TuneIn.
It's a rip-off.
Or Spotify.
It's a rip-off.
What is the best way to listen to the Noah Jenner Show in the car?
Well, there's two ways.
I would suggest you get a modern podcast app.
Because not only will you be driving in the car and all of a sudden, bloop, it'll alert you through your Android Auto or your CarPlay, or if you just have your phone with you and it's connected to Bluetooth, and the modern podcast app will say, hey, No Agenda Show is live.
You tap on it, it's the same place you get your podcast, and it starts playing.
Now, we do not recommend you enter the troll room while driving.
You can, but we don't recommend it.
But you can use trollroom.io to get in, log in, make an account and everything.
And that's where the trolls are.
Podcastapps.com, you know, if you want to continue to listen to your favorite podcasts before they get jacked and you get all those great new features.
Unlike everybody else, like the Kelsey Brothers.
Holy moly, did you hear this nonsense?
This promotional bull crap?
I'm gonna play it for you.
New at 4.30, the Kelsey Brothers are taking their new Heights podcast to new heights.
Financially, Jason and Travis Kelsey signed a new deal with Amazon's Wondery that is worth, reportedly, $100 million over three years.
The brothers said they are excited about the partnership and are thrilled to start Season 3.
The podcast has been around since 2022 and has won multiple awards, including Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeart Podcast Awards.
We need an award!
We've gotten awards.
We don't pay to enter anymore, so we don't get awards.
Because every award show now, you have to pay to enter.
Yes, this is a fact of awards.
You have to pay.
Yeah, so we don't do that.
The iHeart Awards, please.
The iHeart Awards for people that are on iHeart.
Yes, exactly.
This is a scam.
I'd never heard of this podcast, by the way, and I like sports.
Well, if you read the release carefully, it's the same as Call Her Daddy.
What they're saying is... So it's all about blowjobs?
It's a distribution deal.
And Wondery, which was purchased by Amazon, they will be able to sell ads so the deal can be worth up to a hundred million dollars over three years.
They get that much advertising.
Exactly.
So they're getting a minimum guarantee.
And I'm not discounting that most advertising money on television and streaming goes into football specifically.
So there's a lot of money that people will put into this.
Um, but it's this, oh, it's a hundred million.
Oh, podcasting is still doing great!
No.
Well, podcasting is a vow of poverty, people.
More, uh, more power to them.
A, and it's no sweat off my balls.
There you go.
So instead of paying to enter awards and getting beat up on the football pitch, John and I decided we'll just do podcasts twice a week and we'll ask people to support us if they think what we do is worth anything, if we have improved your life in any way.
Some people say it helps them.
Some people say, you know what, I feel better listening to the No Agenda Show because we're lighthearted.
We're not so serious.
I literally saw Megyn Kelly I like Megyn Kelly, don't get me wrong.
But she was yelling at Caitlyn, the CNN lady.
She's yelling.
She's all emotional on that thing.
But she was yelling, Caitlyn, here's a tip, smile from time to time.
And this whole rant she does, she's not smiling.
Exactly.
And she has a beautiful smile, but will she smile?
No!
It's like, pot, kettle, hello?
Everyone's unhinged.
We're not unhinged.
We're just poor.
But today value came in in multiple ways.
The first thing we want to do is thank our artists who always support us with their time and their talent.
It's part of the trifecta, time, talents, and treasure.
And they support us by making artwork that fits with the show.
They're doing it during the live show.
It's amazing.
They do this, in this case, in the evening hours after dinner for the Dutch masters who are working on things.
And a Dutch master who lives in Chicago brought us the artwork for episode 1689.
And that was Darren O'Neill with the Ozempic Ice Cream.
Which was a classic, no agenda product.
You know, comic strip blogger right away is like, this is, you can't do this!
This is not fair use!
Yes, it is.
It's not fair use about what?
That art piece stolen?
No, he says because you're using the brand name Ozempic.
No, no, no.
Exactly.
Tell him.
Tell him, John.
This is a, as a parody or a humor, uh, and not for the purposes of, of cloning a product.
This is totally legal.
Yes.
And, and by the way, when comic strip blogger freaks out, it's really good art.
Then you know, it's good art.
Well, he had a good piece that I thought was good, but you hated it, which was his jazz queen butt.
No, I did not hate it.
I did not hate it.
I said to you, I would be all for it if the letters actually looked like they were on the jeans, and they just didn't.
And you agreed with me in my hate.
I did.
Yeah, exactly.
See?
We had other pieces.
Oh, we haven't said the W word yet.
There was a tip jar for that.
I don't think we're doing quite well.
What else was there?
Oh, that's, yeah, right.
There was a lot of Yas Queens.
A lot of Yas Queens.
Yeah.
But we were like, yeah, it was a little overplayed at that point.
We had kind of done that.
I did like the very demure, very mindful cheesecake, but you thought it was too simple.
Where was this?
That was a Comics Reader Blogger piece, but again, the letters didn't look like they were really on the t-shirt.
Yeah, they weren't mapped.
Mapped, thank you.
They weren't surface mapped.
No, no.
And that's, that's the... Which you can do with Photoshop.
I mean, it's very, well, it's not easy, but... Yeah, but AI, but AI, this is all AI.
But AI won't do it.
AI can't do it.
Can't figure it out.
Oh, how did, how were the earnings for the, for our favorite AI company yesterday?
All I saw on CNBC, yeah, all day.
Everyone's waiting.
Oh, it's down!
It's down five and a half percent.
I guess they didn't do so.
No, they actually, they beat expectations and people are still selling.
There's something going on.
Yes, it's called the blow up of AI nonsense.
Have you, you don't, you don't have chat GPT, do you?
I know I just if I'm ever going to use it, I use it online.
Well, here's what you want to type in.
And I think Elon Musk has corrected Grok on this one.
But if you type in how many R's are in the word strawberry.
Every AI I have used, including the ones I run here at home, say there are two R's in strawberry.
Even though there's clearly three.
Isn't that interesting?
And what's the point of this exercise?
To prove that AI sucks?
It's stupid?
Yes!
Yes, of course it is!
That means there's no intelligence.
It's just splitting stuff up into tokens.
And you can assume that Grok was fixed by hand.
Oh yeah, of course it was.
That's how you do it.
They will all be fixed by hand.
You have to go tweak it.
Yeah, where did I learn about this?
On X, so of course, you know, this is what you do.
He's the one that brought it up.
You launch this on X. First you hand tweak it and then you point out everyone else is screwed up.
Exactly, exactly.
It's called marketing.
It's good, it's good.
He's not an idiot.
It's good marketing.
Was there anything else that we liked?
I don't think there was much... I don't think there was anything else.
Actually, it was pretty lame.
It was demure.
I did use... I'm not using that word.
That should be banned.
I did use one piece that was the girls whispering to each other from Scaramanga as the newsletter.
But that was a good piece for the newsletter.
Yeah, and it wasn't... I'm passing some news on.
It's good for a newsletter.
Hey, listen to this.
It's like Betty and Veronica, these two.
The Scarabanga piece.
It's good.
Except that Veronica's a brunette and this girl's a redhead.
Details.
Details.
Not quite.
Details.
Thank you very much, Darren O'Neill, for bringing us the artwork for episode 1689.
We appreciate it.
We appreciate the work that all of our Dutch masters do.
You guys are awesome.
That I don't use that word lightly.
Anybody can upload art to noagendaartgenerator.com.
It's simple.
Go ahead.
Try it out.
And you too can be excoriated for doing it wrong.
We're happy to do it for you.
Yeah.
This is valuable.
It is very valuable.
Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers.
We ask everybody to just send treasure, whatever the show is worth to you.
Value is very subjective to your own means, so if that's $5 for a show, that's fine by us.
Anybody can go to noagendadonations.com, set up a sustaining donation.
We do like to thank Because we never continued the program if we waited for everybody to support us with $5.
In fact, we tried that 17 years ago almost, and it didn't work until we said, hey, just send us whatever it's worth to you.
And that's why we have executive producers, $300 and above, we read your note.
And associate executive producers, $200 and above, and we read your note.
And you get an official credit, which you can use anywhere.
Credits are Recognize, it includes your LinkedIn profile, of course, and your social media profile, but more importantly, IMDB.com, where there are over a thousand No Agenda producers.
And we kick it off with, he's back!
He is back.
He comes in about once a month.
Seronomous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Now, normally, a 33-33 donation would be a rubbalizer.
And he didn't do $33.33.
He did $33.22, which I'm presuming includes a couple of $2 bills because he always sends cash.
From an undisclosed location.
I'm going to give him... I believe there was one $2 bill.
I'm going to give him the Rub-A-Lizer anyway, but he says, John, this is a long note for you, so you have to read it.
No, no, that's not for me to read.
That's a reference to the fact that it's an extremely long note and I hate long notes.
So that means I have to read it?
Yeah.
Alright.
Thank you to all the producers that support this show.
Oh, by the way, I should mention, just as a Historically, he sends in kind of short and often short notes.
Yes.
Every once in a while, no note.
And he makes a little stanza with no note on it.
He's a little graphic and then sometimes reasonable notes.
And I think he's finally built up enough credit to do as long a note as he wants.
And this is one of them.
So I'm not objecting to it.
I will come to his house and wash his car.
Thank you to all the producers that support this show.
By the way, his car is a Rolls, it's gotta be.
It must be.

Like many Americans, I have naturalized U.S.
citizen family and friends and my extensive travel outside the U.S.
over the past few months garnered one question from both groups.
What's going on?
I can hear him saying it that way too.
Naturalized citizens have a keen perspective of politicized governments as many came to the U.S.
to leave politicized countries.
They are unhappy that their work to be U.S.
citizens is being shortcut for political purposes.
They reinforce the U.S.
educational system programming towards social agenda rather than the three R's.
Education is creating a less valuable citizen and workforce and they include their own children as victims as they seek to be normal Americans and seek private education when possible.
Many countries... This is important stuff that he's saying here.
This is good.
Many countries I travel to have polarized political environments where violence overcomes civility in political discourse.
International contacts ask me if the U.S.
is the ideal place to send their children to be educated and gain citizenship.
They see the leading global economy and military superpower moving towards a Caligula-like society like the one they left.
Take note, people, because where are we going to escape to?
The two wars underway have far greater impact than seems to garner attention in the U.S.
Global trade is more affected outside the U.S.
COVID taught us the term supply chain issues to justify delays and higher costs.
NOAA General listeners already know grain exports from Ukraine, Russia to Africa is causing severe issues and starvation.
China is a leading exporter of goods to the Suez Canal and is severely impacted by the Houthi Red Sea attacks of goods to the Suez Canal and is severely impacted by the Houthi Red Sea attacks.
The defense industrial base, which he says D.I.B., of non-U.S.
actors are more aggressive than the often maligned U.S.
D.I.B.
participants.
Drone and missile manufacturing outside the U.S.
is far beyond U.S.
capability and while less sophisticated, using DOS-level attacks will overwhelm so-called Iron Dome defenses, and both sides know it.
Hezbollah has 150,000 missiles.
AI, as in actual intelligence, sees non-U.S.
defense industrial base pushing a more aggressive agenda than U.S.
DIBs.
Unlike U.S.
moral values, these countries do not value our lives as Americans.
U.S.
military is working to learn what others are experiencing and working to adapt to these wars, but our political leaders remain oblivious to the reality of these wars.
How much will leadership cause U.S.
citizens to suffer, either to prepare for war or suffer before surrender?
If you believe history rhymes, The Treaty of Versailles, A Concise History by Nyberg, it's about 100 pages, is an interesting book of poetry for today's events.
No jingles, no karma.
And then he parked his rolls.
That's a good note.
Something to listen to because, you know, he's saying real stuff here.
You should do a podcast.
Yeah.
Well, he does one.
Ours.
He just did one.
I'm going to give him a Rub-a-Lyzer.
There you go.
Rub-a-Lyzer jingle for Astronomers of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Thank you as always for coming in to save our month.
Zarin Denzel in Port Townsend, Washington.
Cute little town, if ever there was.
5.30.
If I add up other donations, I should be at night in the night area.
Can I just be night Z?
Or do I need a weird name?
Nightsy is good.
Nightsy is perfect.
Yeah, Nightsy.
Listening to you two keeps me sane.
And you're the best five to six hours of my week.
I'm hitting as many people in the mouth as I can.
Oh, beautiful.
Thank you.
Zarin.
Zarin will be Night Z later today.
Dame, foreign lady before, Dacula, 471 cent.
Dear Johan and Adam, it says here.
It says Johan.
Johan.
$470.01.
Yeah.
Dear Johan and Adam, it says here.
It says Johan.
Johan.
Hello, Johan.
ITM gentlemen, very pleased to enclose a check to you for $470.01.
This amount brings me not only an executive producership for my 76th birthday on September 2nd, but takes me to the next tier of damehood.
Whatever level comes after baroness, which is... What is after baroness?
Viscountess?
Viscountess, maybe?
I have also recently moved and would like to request a change to my protectorate if it pleases the Peerage Committee.
I would like the protectorate of Old Town Grayson in Northeast Georgia.
We have checked, it's all good.
Thank you both for what you continue to do.
No jingles, just some R2-D2 karma for all the producers.
Cheers, Dame4NLadyB4.
And what does she say here at the bottom?
She says, P.S.
John, I typed this for easier reading.
Love you both!
You've got... Karma.
See, all these complaints of mine always pay off with people, uh... Yeah, big time.
Making a comment.
Big payoff.
Yeah, big payoff.
Big payoff.
Big payoff.
Mark... We have... Is it Mark?
Yeah, Mark.
Mark Gohl, G-O-L-L, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
Is it Guelph?
Do we know how to pronounce this?
Yes, Guelph sounds good to me.
Guelph.
So, it could be Guelph.
350, 58, no note, no nothing, so he gets a double up karma.
And he does indeed.
You've got...
Kathy Knight is in Mesa, Arizona.
The333.33, our last executive producer for the show.
ITM, I appreciate you two so much.
I'm chipping in to do my part so you can continue providing us with the best podcast in the universe.
Thank you for your courage.
No jingles, no karma.
Sincerely, Kathy Knight.
Thank you, Kathy Knight.
We appreciate it.
Speaking of the devil, Rob, the constitutional lawyer in Spring Branch, Texas, Comes in with $211.23.
Rob, the constitutional lawyer here, says, happy birthday, Adam.
Oh, thank you.
As a sex-sexagenarian.
Sexagenarian, yes.
I'd have to look into that.
I'm sticking with it.
Maybe he's talking about you being sexy.
Yes.
You now qualify for free legal advice at many elder law clinics.
But stay young, visit rob.lawyer instead.
Yes, that's the URL, rob.lawyer.
We fight for you and Gitmo Nation.
And he asked me privately, since it didn't fit in the message, if I could add his usual open up Adam Curry jingle and karma to ward off Jack Smith and his overzealous ilk.
Mr. Adam Curry.
Open up the door, Mr. Curry!
Now!
You've got karma.
Eli the Coffee Guy is next.
We're in as Executive or Associate Executive Producers here.
He's from Bensonville, Illinois.
20829.
Over the weekend, I met an awesome fellow producer at the farmer's market, he says.
She echoed the same sentiment that so many producers I've spoken to have shared.
Those who listened to No Agenda through COVID say you guys helped keep her sane amid the media madness.
Well, we hope we continue to do that because it's only crazier now.
Thank you.
For those who only listened to No Agenda for the past few years, I suggest going into the archives and checking out the 2016 election shows.
History doesn't often repeat itself, but it does indeed rhyme.
Can I get a don't be a denier jingle?

The science is end!
Science!

And finally on our list, last Associate Executive Producer, $200.33, Sir Not Space Force, here.
SirNotSpaceForce here.
SirNotSpaceForce here.
I think it's SirNotSpaceForce.
I have exciting news!
I've written two apps now available in the Apple Store.
Bird Ship, a musical puzzle game, and Digilore, that's D-I-G-I-L-O-R-E, a modern podcast app.
Oh!
Oh, how about that?
Free coupon!
Email itm at machinepublishers.com with subject itm.
Yeah, it's, um, I think it's iOS only.
He told me about this.
I have not seen it, but I'm excited about it because, you know, more independent podcast apps, the better.
Thank you very much.
Sir not Space Force here.
I will say that we have one more associate executive producer because it came in as Australian dollary dues, which is well over $200.
Okay.
Thomas Weaver with a... I'm doing this reluctantly because of the length of the note.
Yes.
But Thomas Weaver from Blackwall, New South Wales comes in and the number's probably around 210, I'm guessing.
Yeah, well he's good to go.
First time donation, so a de-douching would be a wonderful thank you.
You've been de-douched.
Also, birthday shout-out for myself.
You're on the list.
I first came across you via Hearing Adam just over a year ago on the TFTC with Marty Bent.
Oh, Marty Bent.
He's got a huge podcast.
And he's my friend.
Who's... I don't know anything about this.
Oh, Marty Bent is in Austin.
It's the TFTC podcast.
He used to be in finance.
Finance.
And he left finance and went into Bitcoin mining and all.
He's a... He is a cool dude.
I think he has now two young kids.
Moved from... Florida?
Was he in Florida?
No, he's in Pennsylvania.
I think he was in Philly.
Moved to Austin a couple years ago.
We've had dinner with him and his wife.
Lovely couple.
Young.
Young, John.
Young.
Half our age.
Well, my age.
Thomas Weaver continues.
So here I am swapping some of my Aussie dollary dues for your American cookbooks, as Marty would say.
Let me tell you, the Australia to USD turnaround is terrible.
We are truly the land down under.
Yes.
But on the plus side, I'm a regenerative farm worker and I've had the pleasure to have met Texas Slim.
Oh, there you go.
In person and converse with him.
You get grass-finished meats as At will and listen to the best podcast in the universe.
Well, whilst on my daily chores of feeding the animals, you know, Texas Slim was on some some TV show recently.
I saw him.
Oh, yeah.
He gets around.
He's trying to very, very skinny guy with a big Texas hat.
You know, I told him because he would do interviews and he put on a baseball cap.
I said, bro, no, you need to always have the hat on when you're doing an interview.
Otherwise, you're just a skinny dude with a hat.
Now you're Texas Slim, you see.
Texas Slim.
It's perfect.
He gets around.
Well, he took your advice.
Yes, and he's trying to help feed children.
And he's a very erudite character.
Yes, erudite is the correct word.
And I won't, anyway, continuing, and I won't use this donation to shamelessly plug the business I work for.
No, instead I will plug my smoking hot girlfriend's business, Meals for Mamas.
An amazing ready-made meal delivery service for postpartum mothers and their partners.
It's utilizing organic ingredients, grass-finished meats, even some from our farm, and a delicious assortment of healthier snack options as well, delivered fresh throughout New South Wales, Act, and now, Act, ACT, A-C-T, and now Queensland.
I think Act is central?
Yeah, somewhere.
Sorry everyone, only in Australia.
Go to meals... That should be a four, I think.
I think he mistyped that.
Four mamas.
Not dollar sign.
Meals number four mamas.
I think you're probably right.
Mealsmamas.com.au to learn more.
As for you, Adam and John, a grass-finished steak straight from the farm and a brilliant Aussie Shiraz or Cab Sauvignon for John, too, will be here waiting for you if you ever decide to visit.
Thanks again for all the stellar work you guys do, Thomas.
Well, I hear you guys will soon be our 51st state, so it'll be easy.
We pretty much own them now, don't we?
What was it?
Military boys there taking over the place?
Oh yeah, we take all over, take it over.
Hey, that's great!
Anyway, that's our group of well-wishers and producers, Associate Executive and Executive Producers for Show 1680.
And thank you again to everyone else who came in with donations and notes.
We will be reading numbers above 50 for the donations and sometimes a note depending on what's in it in our second segment.
And of course, thanks to Everybody who comes in under $50 for reasons of anonymity and those sustaining donations, go to noagendadonations.com and thank you for producing 1690.
Our formula is this.
We'll go out.
We'll hit people in the mouth.
Order. Order.
Shut up, slave.
I mistakenly said 1680.
Did I say 1680?
I meant 1690.
No, I said 1680.
Oh, oh well.
Yeah, well, that's why I do all the production.
Yeah, that's right.
So I can screw it up.
Which I do from time to time, it does happen.
All right, I see you got lots of clips, so lay it on me.
Well, let's see what we got.
You want some funny clips?
You want some good clips?
Yes!
Yeah, no, give me some funny clips.
Well, let's, well... Oh, well, I don't have any funny clips, he said.
Oh, okay.
Uh, let's talk a little bit about, uh... Let's catch up with the Middle East with an update.
These are... I could do a clip, but let's... Middle East, really?
It's... Everyone's just... Okay, let's go here.
They're killing each other over there.
Here's a good one.
Here's a good one.
Did you know this was going on to SAG Afterstrike?
Wait.
I thought we already had a SAG Afterstrike.
Oh, how wrong you are.
There's still another one.
They just keep coming.
Video game actors have remained on strike since July.
This follows months of negotiations with major gaming companies.
The strike aims to ensure equal protection for union voice actors and motion capture performers against what they say is unregulated use of artificial intelligence.
What?
Oh!
This is Christina Corona reports from Southern California.
We're here in the city of Burbank, outside Warner Bros.
studios where members of SAG ACTA are picketing as part of their strike against major video game studios.
The video game companies are rightly isolated.
When you look at the studios, the streamers, the record labels, we've been able to achieve the necessary protections for our members with all of those companies and yet for some reason the video game companies refuse to make the same fair deal.
Several video game actors and voice actors said they are striking for fair contracts primarily to oppose unregulated use of artificial intelligence.
Something where we know that we have something in writing that when we go in to do one session that doesn't mean they can just reuse, digitally reproduce our voice for future needs.
It's ensuring that we can still do what we love to do for people moving forward and we're not phased out by robots.
Voice actor Sam Quasman mentioned many actors have worked their entire career for only a modest return.
We're fighting for our lives, basically.
We spend all this time learning our lines and taking acting lessons, singing lessons, dancing lessons.
I mean, you're trained for your career and then you wind up with a couple hundred bucks.
Start a podcast.
Listen, I have a question.
So the nanny spent all this time setting up this no AI for what I thought was SAG-AFTRA, but they didn't think to include the video game industry?
Yeah, seems so.
Because, hey, I'm in.
Close the hatch.
Huh.
And are we going to see Angelina Jolie go on strike for the video game actors, or are they lesser than?
Do they not count, even though their industry is ten times as big as the movie industry?
Yeah, that's the irony.
Will they go on strike?
The irony is the industry is Huge compared to the film entertainment side of it.
So will they go on strike?
These scabs?
Are they just going to continue to work?
They don't care about their brothers and sisters who also had to learn how to act and sing and read lines and whatever else they were doing.
I think you can figure it out.
No!
One voice actor raised concerns that AI is costing them jobs, as AI-generated voices can be manipulated to say inappropriate or offensive things, which then are falsely attributed to them causing issues with their agencies.
And the actors over here are like, no, wait, that was not me.
Someone cloned my voice through some program, and like, I would never say any of this stuff.
So the AI protections are definitely what is worth fighting for.
More livelihoods.
AI is not coming.
It's already here.
I have never heard that guy in a video game.
He might be a voice guy that, you know, changes his voice.
Well, I will tell you right now, if AI could take over this podcast and we could be on the beach chilling like Bob Dylan, I'm all in.
But it can't.
It can't.
It can't even count the R's in strawberry.
Eh?
The thing that's kind of interesting when you think about this particular complaint is Mel blank.
Mel Blanc was a notorious prick that did all the voices for every character in Warner Brothers cartoons.
He did Bugs Bunny.
He did Porky Pig.
He did all the characters.
Every character.
In fact, it was all the vocalizations and all the commercials and all the comic cartoons that Warner Brothers came out with.
And it was the voice by Mel Blanc.
And Mel Blanc would make a fuss According to the rumors, who knew, he'd make a huge fuss if they brought in one single guy to do one single voice in any of the cartoons he was involved in, which was all of Warner Brothers cartoons, all the Bugs Bunny, all the Daffy Duck, all that stuff.
Are you sure he did Elmer Fudd?
Because people are saying that's not true.
I believe so.
He was a man of one of these... I ran into one of these guys when I was doing a radio show.
I ran into the guy who took over Tigger's voice, which Tigger used to be done by Paul Winchell in the Winnie the Pooh series.
Tigger was done by Paul Winchell.
He was the one who developed the voice.
And Paul Winchell died and they were still doing these Winnie the Pooh movies.
And this guy who was on the show, He was a voice guy, and he took over, and I didn't know anything that this even happened, and he did a bunch of voices for me, including Tigger, and he sounded, he was one of those guys who could just mimic voices like, you know, like an impressionist, or even better, and he could do, he had about 12 or 13 very distinctive voices that he could do, but Tigger was one of them, and
I could be wrong about Porky Pig.
Breaking news!
Breaking news!
Breaking!
Steve Webb, OG Godcaster, texts me.
We text.
As a voice actor, I can confirm Mel Blanc, blank, did Elmer Fudd.
Doesn't mean he did his voice, he might have just done it.
But okay, he did Elmer Fudd.
He did all the voices on Warner Brothers cartoons.
If you look at, because they give credit on there, there's only one guy's name.
But yes.
But so what was the difference between, you know, AI doing some voices for these cartoons or one guy doing all the voices and not letting anybody else work?
Where's the strike then?
I mean, it seems to me that that was unfair.
By the way, by the way.
No, this is good.
Leanne Webb sent me an email.
She is the much better half of Steve Webb regarding John Tesh.
I've wondered what happened to John Tesh.
Well, a couple years ago, she saw him at the Coach House in Arizona, I think.
He's surviving a very rare form of cancer, but still performing.
He performed, of course, on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart.
He's still around.
And then I got a note from the boys from Mercy Me, who are knights at this point.
And they had some John Tesh trivia.
Did you know that he wrote the NBA theme song?
No, I did not know that.
That's trivia.
That is extreme trivia.
That's news you can use right there.
Yes.
That's a lifetime of income.
You can retire.
You can retire on something like that.
Yeah, it was like Paul Anka when he wrote the Johnny Carson song.
Tonight Show theme.
Yeah, the Tonight Show theme.
And since the show went on for 30 years, he was just gold, you know?
He'd just make money every show.
But can you hum the NBA theme song?
No, I can't.
And so the Mercy Me Boys said that they met him on a cruise.
They were performing on a cruise and they said, you and John should do a No Agenda cruise.
Yes, let me look on my list of things I want to do.
I can hear Horowitz already going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do a cruise!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, there it is.
It's that number.
Oh, it's been X'd out.
No, it doesn't seem to be.
It's not in the cards.
Yeah, I have a feeling it's not in the cards.
A cruise.
Oh boy.
And someone else emailed me saying, hey, we should do a No Agenda Con.
You know, like, which we do that twice a week.
No, No Agenda Con, like a big where everyone, all producers from all over the world can come and hang out together.
The world's largest meetup.
And I thought about it and said, I think this has popped up in the past, and the reason why we always say no is because people always want the same thing.
And then you can do a live show on stage!
Yeah.
And like, no.
It would be great, everyone could hang out together, have a drink, but what are we going to do?
You know, there's no tricks, there's no act, there's nothing, you know, we need to do sessions.
We'd have to work on a comedy act, a routine.
Like Rowan and Martin.
Laugh in a routine.
Who's on first?
It's not, again, not in the cards.
No, it's... What we've been doing is what we're doing and that's about it, you know, we don't have... We have a microphone company coming.
I'm not allowed to promote it anymore.
We have to hold off on promotion until we actually get the microphones done.
And then we have, is there anything else that we're going to do down the side?
Not really.
No, no, that's about it.
We got to, I mean, I have the publishing company and you've got a bunch of other podcasts and podcasting 2.0 that keeps you busy.
We were doing work.
I mean, we don't, but we're not doing a cruise and we're not doing a, Podcasting 2.0 is zero income.
That's just to keep this show going.
I'm doing it for the show and anyone else who wants to do a show.
Well, it's actually a very philanthropic effort.
That's what it is.
Yes.
Where's my Nobel Peace Prize?
You'll get it.
Sure.
Well, if Obama could get one.
Um, so we're still awaiting, um, the return of the astronauts, uh, on that failed Boeing Starliner thing.
Is that the Starliner?
No.
Yeah.
What's the Starliner?
I, you know, I have a clip I want to play before you get to that, which has got, this is similar.
This is, this is like a thing that makes me cringe.
This is the space X.
um flip and it is the uh the private thing they're gonna do you know you know elon has not gone up in the space yet that i know he's smart because it's and i think by the way this is just i don't know if it's a red book prediction but we've lost astronauts when we had the billions of dollars and you know you send them up and something goes wrong and it kills these guys Although they're all alive in different places in the country.
Yeah, well, that could be.
The one that came in and the tiles were falling off the bottom and the thing blew up and everyone got to see it and the Challenger went up and it blew up.
I mean people and then the guys who sat on the on the launch pad.
They burned up in the capsule.
Yeah three of them.
That was bad.
Yeah of course that was suspicious that one.
Something's going to happen on one of these things and it's going to be, it's going to really destroy.
It's going to end the business.
It's going to be a day wrecker.
It's going to destroy.
Yes, I agree.
It's going to end the business, a day wrecker.
But this one, this particular one, this is, uh, they're going to send up people higher than ever before, maybe through a radiation belt.
I'm not even sure.
And then they're going to make them go outside and roam around.
I mean, this does not sound like a good thing.
SpaceX's historic Polaris Dawn mission is delayed once again.
This time it's because of bad weather.
Four private astronauts were said to be launched into space this morning, but SpaceX said bad offshore weather is predicted in the area where the crew will eventually splash down at the end of the mission.
During the mission, SpaceX plans to conduct the first ever private spacewalk, as well as gather data from dozens of experiments.
The mission commander said the crew must be absolutely sure of re-entry weather before launching.
That's because the supplies they are carrying are limited.
The mission had already been postponed from yesterday after engineers discovered a helium leak in one of the rocket's components.
Oh, he's also got a helium leak.
Yeah, helium leak.
Hmm.
Yeah, I'm all for sending up satellites.
You know, it's fine.
But, you know, going up into space.
Sure.
Yeah.
KLM has just announced.
So we have the Boeing astronauts on the International Space Station.
They won't come back until February is now reported.
And they're going to send their Boeing capsule back down.
Watch that thing.
You want to take over under on this?
Whether that thing like explodes on the way down or will it be safe?
I'm like, oh, Well, that's not really an over and under.
An over and under has a plus or minus.
It's either going to blow up or not.
I would say it's going to come back okay.
I think so, too.
Not that I'd risk my life on it.
Well, that's why they're not risking their life on it.
Because the fact that you'd even discuss it as blowing up doesn't seem very good.
Not great.
So KLM has now said they are switching from Boeing to Airbus.
And KLM is, you know, Air France.
That's a big order they're losing.
Airbus is cleaner, quieter, more economical, and doesn't have the doors popping off.
That was not in the press release, but I'm just gonna add that.
And in China, we have another competitor doing much better than Boeing is.
Air China and China Southern Airlines will become the second and third Chinese carriers to fly China's homegrown C919 passenger jet.
The two carriers took delivery of the aircraft at Chinese planemaker Comac's base in Shanghai.
These are the eighth and ninth planes that COMAC has delivered.
China Eastern Airlines has already been flying seven of these aircrafts since May last year.
There you go.
What's a C-919?
Looks like a 737.
I think it's going to be a competitor.
Is that big?
Oh yeah.
It's a dupe.
It's a dupe of the 737.
Yeah, they look nice.
Here is a Comac C919.
They look nice.
It looks like a 737, you're right.
It probably is a copy of an old one.
It's a dupe.
Yes.
Now, I'm not sure if this was a Boeing aircraft.
I have not received... Oh, we're doomed once the Chinese get into this.
Uh, this is a very sad thing that took place.
People don't really... This could be a maintenance issue.
It could be an aircraft issue.
Again, I don't know if it was Boeing or Airbus, but this is a sad thing that happened.
This morning, Delta Airlines searching for answers after two employees were killed on the job inside the airline's maintenance facility on the Atlanta airport grounds.
A third worker is being treated for serious injuries.
Response is 1775, Main 8 Jackson Jr. Boulevard.
Delta TLC3, reference to an explosion.
Emergency crews rushing to the Delta Wheel and Brake Shop early Tuesday morning.
The airline says employees were working on a tire when the wheel component suddenly ruptured.
Delta describing it as a heartbreaking accident.
It killed 58-year-old Merkle Marwig and 37-year-old Luis Aldorado.
It was away from the main airplanes.
You have this high pressure, big piece of metal, big piece of rubber, and if it fails for some reason, catastrophically can cause damage and injury to people nearby.
A Delta employee describing the chilling scene to first responders saying quote, I walked toward where the explosion occurred and saw a body lying face down not moving with blood all around.
The accident investigators will probably look at the two metal rims around that tire and look for some sort of a fatigue failure.
Was that airplane old?
Was that tire old?
Or was it somehow some part of the way that the tire was put together that caused this mishap?
Doesn't Delta fly Boeings?
Yeah, but this is probably a component.
It's like certain trucks have these types of tires.
They'll still blame Boeing.
Well, yeah.
That's the idea.
I'm sorry about that.
Well, Boeing's got issues.
I see there's a Comac 919.
There's a 929.
Oh.
So they're building big jets.
Yeah.
I'd probably fly it.
And Honeywell's involved with them.
Oh, really?
The Americans, you know, are going to help.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'd probably fly it.
I wouldn't.
I'm not too afraid.
I wouldn't go on a spaceship, but... We'll see.
I'm taking a rocket.
Get on a rocket and shoot it up there and I'll be on it and floating around for a few minutes.
This is a story trending everywhere.
It's an outrage.
It's crazy.
It's no good.
I mean, it's just a California story.
But it was doing the rounds so we might as well discuss it since one of us is in California.
Let's go now to a live look at the State Capitol.
Right now, California lawmakers have about three days to pass new laws for the year.
The deadline is Saturday at midnight.
Lawmakers today sent Governor Newsom a bill that would allow undocumented people to apply for the state's first-time homebuyers program.
That program has no money for the foreseeable future, but that didn't stop lawmakers in the State Assembly from approving it in a 45 to 15 party-line vote.
The proposal specifically prohibits the California Housing Finance Authority from rejecting a person's application based on their immigration status.
The bill made national headlines as California is facing a housing crisis with some of the highest costs in the nation to own a home.
We need to remind ourselves that we are a nation of immigrants.
And here in our state, we remind ourselves all the time of the value of those who are continuing to come here and to make our economy better.
So for those who are paying their taxes, who are doing things right, who have a good credit score, and who can qualify for a loan, we are saying that we want you to set roots here in our great state if you qualify.
Governor Newsom will have until September 30th to sign or veto this bill.
That's not the way the story is told on this clip.
Can I just say something that Governor Abbott of Texas, he has now commissioned signs to be put up in Mexico that says free homes that way.
Pointing towards the north.
Yes, smart move.
Free Homes in California is the clip.
Oh, is that literally the clip name?
Oh, I see it.
A California proposal could make illegal immigrants eligible for housing aid.
People could get up to $150,000 in loans to help buy a home paid for by the state.
NTD's David Lamb reports.
A new proposal would expand home-buying loans to illegal immigrants.
On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill in a 25-14 vote.
California's Home Purchase Assistance Program would cover up to a 20% down payment or closing cost capped at $150,000.
It's called Assembly Bill 1840, which was introduced by Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula.
And it prevents the state's Home Purchase Assistance Program from disqualifying an applicant based on their immigration status.
Applicants would need to be first-time homebuyers, and at least one borrower needs to be a first-generation homebuyer, such as someone whose parents don't own a home or they've been through foster care.
The home buyer would have to repay the down payment loan plus a portion of the profits if the house is sold later on.
So that's the increased value of the home.
Now, as of Wednesday, it's in the Assembly before going to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk.
Well, it wasn't that different.
Well, they emphasize the fact that it's for illegal immigrants mainly.
Yes.
Well, of course, that's what California's all about.
It's to improve your economy.
Now, so 20%, 150,000... This has so much of 2008 written all over it.
It does.
That's a $750,000 home, which at today's interest rates, pretty steep price.
It does.
That's a $750,000 home, which at today's interest rates, pretty steep price.
You know?
Yeah, it might not be workable.
But Newsom, if he's smart, he'll veto it so he can keep on his, you know, because otherwise he's going to get... Everything Newsom does from now on is assuming that Trump's going to be president and he has to be very careful that he's not going to have this stuff thrown in his face.
Hey, but wait a minute.
This would work great for your favela idea.
Free favelas.
You can get a down payment on a favela.
The idea of the favela itself is self-sufficiency.
It's free.
I love that idea.
Well, let's continue to stay in California with the cleanup operation just in time for the Olympics, just in time for the 2028 election.
This is a Rousting the homeless!
We're back now with our Homeless in America series.
Earlier this summer, the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled that cities can fine or even jail people for sleeping outside.
CNN's Nick Watt went to San Francisco, a city with a notorious homeless problem, which is now aggressively sweeping homeless encampments from its streets.
You gotta go?
But do you know where you're gonna go?
Okay, okay, okay.
We're in the Mission District.
It's a little after 7am.
Is this the first time you've been involved in one of these sweeps?
Do you think you'll be in a shelter tonight?
Well, let's call yes.
The Supreme Court ruled that cities can now cite, fine, or jail these people even if they have nowhere else to go.
We have the ability to now enforce the law.
Mayor London Breed introduced what she calls a very aggressive strategy.
They issued around 25 citations in the first two weeks.
You're criminalizing something that a lot of people can't help.
They have no other choice.
And that would be the case if we weren't offering people a place to go inside.
They haven't offered you a shelter?
They said there's no opening for a shelter right now.
There's no beds.
Do you need plastic bags or anything for trash?
The city says no one from this morning sweep ended up in a shelter.
Not one.
This is the afternoon sweep.
We're in Soma, south of Marrakech.
The issue is, this is the 34th time the city has swept this area this year alone.
34th time!
That's a little twist on the story.
It doesn't seem to be working very well.
I know whatever they're doing in San Francisco, a lot of it has an impact and the homeless are moving probably wisely to Oakland.
Right across the road from you.
Well, it's far enough away I'm not worried about it, but I was in Oakland the other day driving around, and it's worse than ever, a homeless situation, there's encampments under every overpass, which seems like...
There's a, you won't find a freeway overpass where there aren't a bunch of tents, and then there's a huge park on the corner of MacArthur and Broadway for people who want to check it out, and there's just Tent City.
The whole park isn't completely filled, but it's a borderline favela, but not the right kind.
The right kind needs a view.
Yes.
It's a favela with a view.
That's part of the formula.
I don't see anybody doing anything about anything in Oakland.
I have a second part to this report.
More than 4,000 people live on San Francisco's streets.
There are fewer than 4,000 shelter beds, and most nights they're near full, with a wait list of over 100.
He's offering you a shelter bed?
Yeah.
So what are you going to do?
Are you going to take it?
Yeah, I'm going to take it, but you know what?
If it's something where it's typical life, I won't do it, man.
I won't do it.
I stayed in prison 20, 23 years.
Do you really think I want to be closed up in a room with bars and sh** in it?
No, I don't think so.
I'd rather sleep outside.
Since the Supreme Court's decision, cities and towns in states across the country are now proposing, passing and enforcing anti-camping laws.
Across California, state authorities have started sweeping encampments.
I'm here on behalf of 40 million Californians that are fed up.
I'm here because I'm one of them.
But more than 50 academics told the Supreme Court there's no evidence that criminalising homelessness... No evidence!
Works.
In fact, there's a lot of evidence that it's counterproductive.
It's all Brits, by the way, who are representing your news.
Well, what we want to be able to do is use the penalties as a way to get people to commit to going indoors.
You've spent a lot of money from the city sweeping that same street.
To me, that is the definition of madness.
But what I'm saying to you is the next option that we have for people who are refusing what we're offering is we will be citing.
And you'll maybe in the next couple months take a look at our data and see whether or not this is working.
And if it's working, we'll continue.
If it's not, we need to pivot and to try something else.
Pivot!
Pivot!
We're going to pivot and try something else.
Like flamethrowers or something.
What are you citing somebody?
They're homeless, they're living in a tent, they got no income, they got no job, they got nothing, and you're gonna give them a ticket?
There!
There's a $20 ticket.
$50 ticket.
This is no strategy.
Just sweep them up, sweep them under the rug.
It's no strategy.
It's no strategy.
Turn Oakland into a big park.
It's not a strategy.
It's very sad.
It is.
Well, they let it fester.
That's the problem.
This could have been solved if they had stopped it a decade ago.
They let it fester for political reasons.
That's what they did in Auschwitz, the same thing.
Yes.
The robber's den.
You know, you remember the knife attack in Solingen, Germany?
Yes, in fact, I have a clip that references it.
Oh, well, let me play the clip and I can tell you some... have some interesting details.
What is the name of this clip?
Well, that's a good question.
Well, you brought it up.
Well, I mean, you tricked me.
I did not trick you into anything.
Oh, here it is.
No.
No.
Do you have... I don't see a Knives clip.
No, it's under... it came out either my... maybe the UK News.
Oh yeah, I think it came out of here.
Yes, it's in here.
It's a two-parter, it's UK news, it's about Starmer.
Oh yeah, hanging out with the German dude.
Yeah, I hear.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking to reset relations with the European Union as he meets in Berlin with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The two leaders have agreed to work on a treaty covering issues from defence to trade.
Yeah, let's just say defence.
I'm absolutely clear that we do want a reset.
I've been able to repeat that here today.
A reset with Europe, a reset with the EU.
That does not mean reversing Brexit or re-entering the single market or the customs union.
Scholz said Germany wanted to take this outstretched hand.
The United Kingdom has always been an indispensable part of the solution to the major issues affecting the whole of Europe.
This has not changed since the UK left the European Union.
The new cooperation treaty would deepen collaboration in science, technology, business and culture while increasing trade.
Britain and Germany said they hoped to sign the cooperation treaty by early next year.
At the heart of this treaty will be a new defence agreement.
There it is.
An agreement that builds upon our already formidable defence cooperation.
The deepening defence cooperation comes ahead of a possible scaling back of US support for NATO if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House early next year.
Trump has said he would not defend allies if they do not increase their defence budgets.
I don't think he said that.
Indirectly, he says.
If you don't pay your fair share, is what he said.
Yeah, it's a fair share thing.
So where's the knife stuff?
In the second clip?
It's the second clip.
Starmer also highlighted cooperation on the shared European challenge of illegal immigration.
The issue is a hot topic in Germany at the moment following a knife attack in Solingen that killed three people and wounded eight more, allegedly carried out by a suspected Islamic extremist from Syria.
Starmer reiterated his plan to tackle the people-smuggling gangs behind the UK's small boat crisis, which charge migrants thousands of dollars to cross the sea from France to Britain.
He suggested the joint action plan could involve authorities intercepting boats in transit across Europe to stop them reaching the northern French coast.
Have you ever taken the, uh, before the Chunnel?
The ferry boat?
One of the ferries across the English Channel?
Yeah, it's called the Vomit Express.
It's unbelievable.
I don't, do not understand how a small boat can make that trip.
Well, a lot of them don't.
I guess not.
A lot of them don't make it.
Well, back to the knife attack, which was referenced in that clip.
I thought I remembered the name Solingen.
I couldn't put my finger on it.
Do you know the nickname of Solingen or what they call it?
No.
The City of Knives.
The Solingen Knife Company comes from there.
Oh, there is a knife, yes.
It's called the City of Knives.
Leave it to the City of Knives.
Ironic.
Yes, the irony is nuts.
And now the Berlin Police Commissioner came out with some tips and tricks to employ if this happens and you're around and someone is going crazy stabbing people.
The police commissioner said, do something unexpected, like making a phone call or singing very loudly.
This is the brilliant idea how to thwart yourself from being stabbed to death by a knife attack.
Just sing loudly.
Wow.
Yes.
And then this very sad news from NPR regarding knives.
Alright, here's a question.
What is a knife without a blade?
That is not a riddle or a Zen Buddhist paradox.
It's a question that the maker of the Swiss Army Knife has just answered in the form of a new line of pocket knives without blades.
They will still have the screwdriver, fear not, also the nail file, the bottle opener, but not the classic flip-out blade.
Victorinox, the company behind the ubiquitous multi-tool, has made hundreds of millions of Swiss Army Knives since the late 19th century, but this is a first.
The company's CEO told Swiss media this week that the decision was made because some countries have increased the regulation of knives in response to violent crime.
Yeah, this is not the first time Victorinox has had to pivot based on current events.
Pivot!
When sharp objects like pocket knives were banned from planes after 9-11, the company leaned into watches and luggage and leisure wear and even fragrances.
The new bladeless pocket knives are in development now, and aficionados will still be able to purchase the classic Swiss Army knife.
I love this story.
We should do hammers that are just a piece of wood.
With no head on it.
It's a screwdriver without a shaft.
And what is a Swiss Army knife without a blade?
Dumb.
Yes.
What are- I mean, what is the world- And I remember when you say, hey, they're banning knives in England.
No, it's not true!
There's no knife- Yes.
Meanwhile, we're running around with 9 mils everywhere.
Yeah, it's a better idea.
Because when you shoot somebody, everybody notices because it makes a lot of noise.
It's very loud.
It's very noticeable, yes.
Yeah, so you can get out, you can run out of the way.
With some of the knives, they can be stabbing people left and right.
You can scatter.
Yes, you can scatter.
Unless, of course, you're President Trump and you're just walking around with an AR-15 and you're hanging out.
Did you hear the latest details?
Did you see they had pictures of the gun?
I have the FBI investigate shooting NTD, which details what they did.
Well, let me play mine first because NTD is such a...
Yeah, they do too complete a job of actually giving you the information.
Well, listen to this.
There's only one little bit in here that I think is good.
The FBI giving an update this afternoon on its investigation into the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
That update including the release of some new pictures.
Showing the gun, backpack and undetonated explosive device belonging to the shooter Thomas Crooks.
Investigators saying that they have been able to conduct an extensive analysis into the research he conducted before the attack.
However, they say no clear motive has emerged.
Investigators say Crooks searched the dates and locations of campaign rallies for both Trump and President Joe Biden.
Today, the FBI also saying that Crooks was on the roof for just six minutes before he fired eight rounds at the former president.
Trump's ear was injured in that shooting.
One rally goer was killed.
Two others were injured.
Oh, it was only six minutes.
Six minutes!
Are you kidding me?
And listen to how that was reported.
Oh, it was only six minutes.
What?
He was on the roof for six minutes?
That's outrageous.
Six minutes?
If we stop talking right now for six minutes?
Everyone would stop tuning in.
Six minutes is a long time.
I agree.
Especially dead air.
But so the guy gets up on the roof, he's up there for... Six minutes.
I would say over five minutes before anybody even saw him.
No, you just say only six is how you report on it.
Well, that's the way to report only six.
But six is, you got all these guys, spotters guys, you know.
I mean, people do a, you know, mechanical bull for eight seconds.
If that.
Do I want to play your NTD report or does mine cover it?
I think it's pretty much the same story, it's a little longer.
No, it's the same length, 46 seconds.
No, it's the same, basically the same story.
Okay.
Let's go to, let's catch up with some campaigning news.
Oh, okay.
What you got?
Campaigning.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I missed the Q. I'm Q-less.
Well, Vice President Harris is in Georgia.
Former President Donald Trump is holding campaign events in battleground states this week, the very states that could decide the election.
NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has an update on Trump's campaign.
Former President Trump is holding campaign events this week in key battleground states.
Nothing is scheduled for the former president, but his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D.
Vance, has two rallies today.
He's speaking in Erie, Pennsylvania, and in De Pere, Wisconsin.
Tomorrow, Trump is holding a town hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and on Friday, a rally in Johnsontown, Pennsylvania.
Trump said he'll be attending the scheduled presidential debate hosted by ABC on September 10th in Philadelphia.
He initially wanted to ensure the same rules as the debate with CNN with President Biden.
Rules including that candidates' microphones should be muted while the other is speaking and they'll be standing and they cannot bring notes.
RFK Jr., who recently dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump, has pulled his name off the ballots in several states.
He remains on the ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, both of them swing states.
Even though Kennedy tried to remove his name, state laws don't allow it.
It'll be interesting to see if that actually impacts the votes.
Now, this all comes as Trump's campaign added Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard to his presidential transition team.
Gabbard is a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii who ran for president in 2020.
Okay, a couple things.
One, I think we should analyze and think for a moment about the next person who will join the Trump campaign.
There has to be more.
They can't be shooting all their wad on RFK Jr.
and Tulsi.
We've got to have more coming in.
I never considered this.
Oh, there's got to be another big name that joins.
It has to be a surprise.
Like Al Franken.
That'll never happen.
But someone of great stature.
Could there be anyone who is not a complete capture cuck?
For it to be, which is rare in that party.
But it has to be a disaffected person who sees it.
The reveal will take place after the debate, and it will depend on how the performance of Kamala goes.
You know, they kept trying to force the idea that she could have notes.
And you know what that means, she'd have a big binder.
With tabs.
A big giant binder with tabs and she'd be flipping it over and reading from these notes.
I think we need someone from show business, like Clooney, which will never happen, but at that level... No, Clooney's out.
No, but at that level, someone...
Someone big, maybe not.
I mean, show business doesn't really have it.
I mean, has no cash.
I don't think this is impactful.
And it's and these people are all pathetic.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't see anybody on the horizon.
It'd be it's a good I like the idea.
Oh, he needs it.
He needs to do it.
It has to be someone.
How about how about Mike Rowe?
Mike Rowe would be a good one.
Yeah, but Mike Rowe's already voting for him.
Is he?
As far as I can tell, he's a Republican, yeah.
Okay, Mike Rowe won't work.
How about Bill Maher?
That would be interesting.
I'll give you that one.
Bill Maher?
He hates Trump so much that for him to change at this point, it would be incredible.
I just don't see it.
I mean, it would be great, but he's such an ideologue.
Yeah.
And he really hates Trump.
He says he hates Trump viscerally.
Well, but he can still say, I hate him, but he's got the right ideas.
He could do that.
And I saw this, I saw an ad for this on X, or it wasn't an ad because I have premium free.
Oh, you paid.
No, I got it for free because I, uh, you'd say, I got the blue check mark.
You have the blue check mark too.
You don't get ads.
You don't get ads.
I don't get any ads.
You get ads?
Well, I mean, once in a while, I think there's an ad in there.
No, I think it's just a...
I think it's just a post.
And I thought it was a joke.
But it wasn't!
Hello, everyone.
This is your favorite president, Donald J. Trump, with some very exciting news.
By popular demand, I'm doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards.
You all know what they are.
We've had a lot of fun with them.
It's called the America First Collection.
50 all-new stunning digital trading cards.
It's really something.
These cards show me dancing and even me holding some bitcoins.
Here's the best part.
I'm doing great things for my Trump digital card collectors.
First, there's the real physical Trump cards.
Purchase 15 or more of my Trump digital trading cards and we'll mail you a beautiful physical trading card.
It's really, I think, quite something.
Each physical trading card has an authentic piece of my suit that I wore for the presidential debate.
And people are calling it the knockout suit.
I don't know about that, but that's what they're calling it.
So we'll cut up the knockout suit and you're going to get a piece of it.
And we'll be randomly autographing five of them, a true collector's item.
This is something to give your family, your kids, your grandchildren.
Number two is to purchase 75 of my Trump digital trading cards, and you will also be invited to join me for a gala dinner at my beautiful country club in Jupiter, Florida.
We really have tremendous dinners with my collectors.
Have a lot of fun together.
We're gonna have a good time.
Okay, so I need to say a few things about this.
Unbelievable!
First of all... This definitely tops the Bible, by the way.
Yeah, well, the Bible he was just endorsing.
He wasn't actually selling it.
But this he's selling.
And so these are NFTs, which is exactly the opposite of what the Bitcoin people want, which is just dumb.
And then they say, oh, I even got some Bitcoins or whatever.
But these are NFTs.
Gary Gensler has just come out and said NFTs are securities.
So he can expect another lawsuit.
Uh-oh.
Yep.
They're unregistered securities.
You watch.
He came out with it yesterday.
And it's true.
Of course they are.
They are unregistered securities because you can trade them.
Hello?
They're called trading cards.
So a Pokemon card is like NFT, is it now going to be subject to Securities Exchange Commission?
Are you telling me that?
No, because the those are real cards.
This is the digit.
It's an NFT.
It's a little different than a Pokemon trading card.
It's the same with all these cryptos.
They've all been deemed not commodities, except for Bitcoin, they've been deemed securities.
I'm just analyzing what's going to happen.
I understand what you're saying.
It's obvious what's going to happen.
Yeah, they're going to sue him and he's going to make a fuss.
Maybe it was designed for that.
But it's dumb.
And they cost $99.
Yeah, $7,500 you get invited to the gala.
Yeah, $7,500 you get invited to the gala.
Okay.
Well, you can just donate $7,500.
I don't think so.
Well, maybe.
He just said it.
I know what the price is.
Oh, yeah, well, there'll be a bit, there means there'll be a, the place will be packed with people and you'll never get to meet him.
Yeah.
No, no, that's $75,000 to meet him for a picture.
Oh, yeah.
He knows what he's doing.
Poll.
Poll came out.
According to Axios, more Americans embrace COVID vax untruths, which is an interesting choice of words.
Untruths.
Yeah.
Big picture, the findings.
So they say they don't embrace COVID lies.
Yes.
The big picture, says Axios, the findings from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center are further evidence of how intense backlash to the government's at times muddled COVID response eroded trust in public health, jeopardizing preparedness efforts to address future crises of mosquitoes.
What they found, 28% of respondents to the survey incorrectly believed The COVID-19 vaccines have been responsible for thousands of deaths.
Wait.
How can you incorrectly believe?
Thank you.
I'm glad you caught that.
You believe something, you just believe it.
You believe it.
I believe that the sky is green.
You're incorrectly believing it.
It will go like this.
He believes the sky is green, although he's incorrect.
They should have said believe without evidence.
My favorite phrase, it turns out.
This is up from 22% in June 2021.
The percentage who know this is false declined to 55% from 66%.
Guys falling.
Okay, so the percentage who know this is false declined to 55% from 66%.
22% believe the false idea that it's safer to get a COVID infection than to get the vaccine, up from 10% in April 2021, months after the COVID shots were rolled out.
The percentage of those incorrectly believing that the COVID-19 vaccine changes DNA, people's DNA, nearly doubled to 15% from 8%.
Wow, you stupid Americans.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Meanwhile, and I'd like to get some confirmation on this, because it comes from a substack, in August, 33... 33!
...nurses died suddenly.
Yeah, that's what's his name.
There's one guy, I can't remember his name offhand, who does... Mark Crispin Miller?
Mark Crispin, yeah.
Miller.
Is he full of crap?
This is all he does.
No, he's not full of crap.
Okay.
He just documents everybody he can find who died before the age of 70, even though he goes beyond that too, who they don't have a cause of death, and he just lists them all as people who died from the Vax.
Well, he's not saying that.
He's not saying it, but that's what he's saying.
Well, we have a lot of nurses and doctors who are producers.
I'd love to hear if they are seeing similar numbers of their colleagues dying suddenly.
I know a lot of these colleagues have quit the business because they wouldn't get the shot, because what they saw from people who did get the shot, and the next thing you know they had to get the shot, they said, no, I'm not going to get the shot, I'm out of here.
And that's caused a problem, same as in the military, with people who quit.
Baron Sir Spud the Mighty says that X apparently still banning the hashtag died suddenly.
What?
I thought it was free speech over there.
That's Linda the knob twiddler.
Can't trust Linda.
And then our Surgeon General came out with an interesting statement this week, as summarized in this clip.
I don't think it's a surprise that parenthood is stressful.
Desiree Terry is the mother of three children.
I think we've all been feeling it for a really long time and it's wonderful to actually have some numbers to back it up.
Terry is talking about the findings in a new Surgeon General Advisory.
Dr. Vivek Murthy says 48% of parents feel completely overwhelmed.
That tells us we've got a real challenge, and there's a lot that's driving that.
You know, parents are not only contending with the usual stressors that come with being a parent, worrying about finances and safety, but they're also worried about how to manage social media and phones for their kids.
Associate Professor of Child Psychiatry at the University of Chicago, Dr. Khaled Efzel, says parents' well-being is crucial when it comes to a child's well-being.
Efzel also says the finding about the role of social media in a parent's life was very revealing.
Murphy also says employers should provide more paid leave for parents and access to affordable child care and have policies in place that support parents and their mental health.
What kind of psychological warfare is this?
I don't know.
What do you think?
Well, don't have kids!
That's what it sounds like to me.
Oh, if you weren't worried enough about the cost and social media, it's going to stress you out.
Yes, my daughter just turned 34.
I'm still stressed out.
It's what you do as a parent.
It's one of the joys.
That's why I want them all to have kids.
To get back at them.
And laugh.
What do you think it is?
I have no idea.
Psychological warfare.
It sure feels like it.
Have your kids' nuts cut off.
There you go.
Okay, that'll do it.
Do you want to play one more clip or should I just go straight into the John Paul Georgian Ring?
Yeah, let's play that.
This is from a Gutfeld Show.
I'm wondering if you can guess this.
This is Tom Shalhoub as the host.
He's a funny comic who does Biden as an imitation.
He's quite good at it.
This is Hobbies That Turn Off Women.
Oh!
Before we play it, what would you guess?
Podcaster and day trader.
Let's listen.
Those aren't hobbies.
Those are vocations.
The internet gets reactive to hobbies deemed unattractive.
Tonight, we examine a viral social media post purportedly ranking men's hobbies by how attractive they're perceived by women.
And much to my dismay... Oh, wait a minute.
Let me think.
Let me think.
Collecting Star Wars figurines?
Is that on the list?
Yes.
Ah!
I got one!
Um... Another one would be... Star Wars figurines.
Video gaming.
Video gaming.
Oh, you... you saw this.
No!
No, I did not.
I'm just thinking of what I find detestable.
Boston Gutfeld is near the bottom of the list.
Now, we couldn't verify the scientific authenticity of this poll, but when has that stopped us?
According to the chicks of this chart, playing video games is the number one fast track to the friend zone.
Followed by things like collecting figurines, doing magic, gambling, and even building model trains.
You're four for four!
You have model trains.
I know you've got a model train set somewhere in that house.
No, really.
Yeah, you've got them in boxes.
When I was a kid, I liked trains a lot.
I didn't build model trains necessarily, but I do have kept an engine from the 50s that probably is worth something, but I haven't sold it, so it can't prove anything.
I know guys as adults that do trains, train setups, and I do enjoy seeing a good train layout.
Very fascinating.
There's a very famous, used to be disc jockey in Holland, Erik de Zwart.
And he came up a little bit before me and he wound up being co-owner of a very big, very popular radio station.
Once commercial stations were Radio 538.
And he has a train in his backyard that he can sit on.
Oh, Walt Disney had one of those.
And so now he's, I think he's obviously still a shareholder.
I don't think he works necessarily anymore in the radio business.
He's probably about five years older than me.
And now he drives the tram.
He's a tram conductor in, I think in, I don't know if it's Rotterdam or Amsterdam.
And he's always posting pictures.
Well, going to work today, going to drive the tram.
Wow.
That's a guy who's dedicated to do something about it.
Being on a train and pushing the lever and making it go.
Yeah, there's no evidence he hangs out with hot chicks.
Oh my god!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
I'm gonna show my sport by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Well, we have a lot of fun things to talk about.
We have a nice stacked birthday list.
We have a number of produced meetup reports, which I like them.
I like it when people produce them, but we've had a lot of very successful meetups.
And, of course, we have the tip of the day and our end-of-show mixes, but first we're going to thank our producers who came in above $50, below we don't mention for reasons of anonymity, and, as always, we have people on there who are on the Sustaining Donations program, which can get you to knighthood!
It happens all the time.
John, would you please read us through down to the 50s?
I'll read a few before you have to read one, which is starting with Curtis Ritchie in Sherburn, New York.
It came in with a hundred bucks.
And right away, right at the top is Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina.
8008 is the Archduke of Luna.
And now we have a knight, and we will read these notes when they come in at these low levels.
And this is Christian Gruelish in Winterhaven, Florida, 8008.
He says, hey fellas, so many puppies to feed this week.
I've sent my donation of 8008 through the usual method, and after some careful accounting, I'm a knight of the No Agenda Show.
Very exciting, muchly happy, and accounting is below.
If it's okay with the Peerage Committee, I wish to be referred to as Sir Loin of the Winterhaven.
From here on, that's fine.
For the Roundtable, I would like Skyline Chili, Four-Way Bean, and Jameson Blackberry Whiskey, Black Barrel Whiskey.
We have both of those for you lined up at the table.
It's been a genuine pleasure listening to John and his various interpretations and pronunciations of my last name.
To aid John with future donations, he may just refer to me as Sir Loin of Winterhaven on my way to becoming a Duke.
Well, please You can mention that in your future donations so we get that right.
God bless you both.
You are true patriots of our great country.
Sincerely and respectfully, Christian Grulich, Sirloin of Winterhaven, P.S.
And for a winning resume that'll get you noticed, contact the lovely Linda Lou Patkin at ImageMakersInc.com.

He says he's been listening for over a decade and now he requests a de-douching.
Is it the first time that he's donated?
He's from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
He's from the summer ozempics of Bowling Green.
I'll de-douche him for that.
You've been de-douched.
Here's William Edelen in Jacksonville, Florida, who came in with 55, which is a 20% cut of the Dana Brunetti unclaimed property donation drive.

And he has been giving this money ever since.
Does he have a title?
He's a Baron.
Oh, okay.
Well, then he has a title.
He's probably higher than that, but he still goes by Baron.
Well, that's it.
He used to live in Oakland.
Well, thank you very much, Baron.
And thank you to everyone who supported episode 1690 of The Best Podcast in the Universe, because we have the best producers in the podcast.
It's easy to check.
You can ask anybody.
Someone was saying the other day, this one podcast, the dire of a CEO has 65 people working on the podcast.
And I said, so what?
We've got tens of thousands of producers working on the podcast.
Does he pay those 65 people?
He does.
Are they volunteers?
No, I think he pays them.
They go to an office and everything.
What?
Yeah, no, he'll be poor soon.
Don't worry.
He does all kinds of- But what do you need that- I mean, if you're going to be paying people to work full time- He also has- This was the big news at Podcast Movement, which was in Washington, D.C., on a Wednesday, a Thursday, and a Friday, which, you know, doesn't sound like a great- You know, went schools back.
I mean, I don't know how many people showed up.
Well, this guy, forget his name, Bartlett, I think his name is, he's a very famous, very famous podcaster.
When he does interviews with people, he has a CO2 monitor in the studio, and when it hits a thousand parts per million, then he stops the interview.
Because he says then people won't be thinking straight.
That was the big news that came out of the podcast world this past week.
What?
Yes, yeah.
A thousand parts per million, then you can't think straight, he claims.
Is that true?
Well, I don't know if it's true or not, but why don't you just open a window, dude?
Thank you all very much, especially those who came in under $50 for reasons of anonymity or if you're on one of our many possibilities for your own sustaining donation.

Hey there, this is the No Agenda Meetup in King at the Jamaican restaurant.
And we had a lot of fun.
There was four of us, three of us repeats, and one person got hit in the mouth.
In the morning, John and Adam, this is CryptoDuke.
Maybe sometime you'll come out here.
You know, it's not too far from Plymouth, Mass, Adam.
Oh, but we'll never get the grumpy guy to come here.
Okay, bye bye!
Alright, the tip is to record in a quieter location.
Let's see how Tulsa did.

It's an incredible scene.
Lots of energy, lots of activity.
I think we even have midgets.
I'm not sure.
They may also be small children.
Over here we have a table of people for the No Agenda Meetup.
Let's see if we can get some comments from them.
In the morning, this is Jessica, the company is great and the green kombucha tastes better than it looks.

I just want to know my social credit score.
In the morning!
Back to you, Jessica.

Well, sounds like everyone had a good time there in the UK.
Time for us to visit, John.
We've got a lot of people, a lot of producers, oops, a lot of producers over there.
Yeah, we do.
Having a good time, obviously.
Here's what's coming up today.
The North Georgia Monthly kicks off at 6 o'clock at Cherry Street Brewing in Alpharetta, Georgia.
On Sunday, the first annual No Agenda Anti-TAM Battlefield Meetup.
Anti-TAM.
Antietam.
That's at 10 o'clock in the morning at Antietam National Battlefield.
Oh, that's in Maryland.
Sharpsburg, Maryland.
And on... Also... That's... You're mispronouncing it.
How do I pronounce it?
Because you mispronounced it, I can't.
It's Antimony or something.
I can't pronounce it.
You literally spelled A-N-T-I-E-T-A-M.
Antietam?
Antietam?
Hey, it's at Sharpsburg.
It's at the national battlefield of that place in Sharpsburg, Maryland.
It's a very famous Civil War battle.
Yes, go there.
And the annual South Jersey Pig Roast Meetup, 5 o'clock at Medford Lake, New Jersey.
Oh, that's Dame Nguyen of the Lakes.
You've got to contact her for details.
It's probably at her house.
So go to noagentomeetups.com for that.
Coming up on September the 2nd... So you're going to cook a pig?
I think so.
It's the annual South Jersey Pig Roast Meetup.
So yes, they're going to cook a pig.
Cooking up a pig.
This is an interesting one.
Plymouth, Massachusetts.
I was just there.
I would have loved to have been in a meetup.
Instead, they're doing one post-visit and they sent a promo.
In a world on the brink of war.
It took 80 years to build.
Where whispers of rebellion echoed through the colonies.
Plymouth is right on the water.
Based on a true story.
It symbolizes America.
It really does.
Of love, romance, and Adam and Tina's visit last month.
The British will be here soon!
We shall stand our ground and fight them to the death!
This is America, you dumb son of a bitch, okay?
In Plymouth, Massachusetts, the 81-foot tall monument was commissioned by the Pilgrim Society at the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and people who, in many instances, have absolutely no clue what they are doing.
Find out.
What it really means.
Think of it.
An entire nation founded on saying one thing and doing another.
To be an American.
And we will call that country the United States of America.
The Adam and Tina We're Here Meetup.
Coming Monday, September 2nd at the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
That's pretty cool.
Too long.
Yeah, it's too long, but... By the way, it's pronounced Antietam.
Antietam, okay.
That's pretty cool, though.
So, finally, we're gonna put the National Monument to the Forefathers on the map.
Can you imagine the no agenda meet up there?
It's in a cul-de-sac.
It'll be interesting to see what the neighbors have to say about y'all.
I'm sure they won't be pleased.
One more promo for North Florida.
Ahoy, Florida producers!
You are cordially invited to a Summoning of the Seas at our September Meetup in St.

Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
It's like a party!
Yes, indeed.
Just like a party.
It's like a party.
Yes, indeed.
Just like a party.
I only have one ISO, so why don't you do yours and then I'll play mine, which I think is going to win.
Okay, let's start with the podcast is so good.
Oh, that one might win.
Let's see.
The podcast is so good.
Wow, it's really low level.
You didn't make that yourself.
Someone else did that for you.
Let me try that again.
The podcast is so good.
Hmm.
Nah, it has no dynamics.
Sexism.
This is blatant sexism.
Well, that would be appropriate for this show.
Who was that?
Uh, Megyn Kelly?
Exactly.
And for our last celebrity entry, Nailed It.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Who is that?
Who does that?
Who said that?
He has an adnoidal voice and he's podcasting all the time.
Scott Adams.
Who?
That was Scott Adams.
Oh, Scott Adams?
Oh, no.
No, can't do Scott Adams.
Here's my- I only have one entry.
Fricking crazy?
Hmm?
What?
Fricking crazy?
You don't like fricking crazy?
It sounds like he's saying breaking.
No, fricking.
All right.
Well, I think we go with Megan.
This is blatant sexism.
I think that's the one we go with.
I think so, too.
Yeah, I think that's a good one.
Now, everybody, it's time before we wind up the show.
It is John's tip of the day.
There's a really good book.
I'm going to plug a book.
with jcd and sometimes adam so there's a really good book i'm gonna plug a book come into the mic uh i can't come in any closer without banging my nose - Uh.
I'm gonna plug a book.
called Might of the Chain.
I don't like the title, but the book is fantastic.
Might of the Chain?
Might.
Might of the Chain.
Forging Leaders of Iron Integrity, another subtitle.
I don't like that either, but the book itself is fabulous.
It's by Mike Studeman, a rear admiral, former retired, who is actually something of a spook.
He's now working for MITRE as a National Security Fellow.
And this book is, it's outrageously interesting.
In fact, it's got a blurb by Henry Kissinger that says, thoughtful and engaging.
And when I read the blurb, I said, oh, it's one of those blurbs that you just write.
I used to be an associate with John Brockman, the New York agent, and he told me very early on, he says, you know, Alan Watt, the guy who wrote all the books on
Zen Buddhism he said that guy if somebody mentioned blurb he says I'm in and he would write the blurb he would write any blurb for anybody and I've taken that same I felt the same way I'm always weirded out but by people who say oh no I have to read it first I have to do this so I read this Thoughtful and engaging by Kissinger.
I said he's one of those guys who just writes phony blurbs.
No!
This book is the most thoughtful book I've ever run into, at least for a couple of years.
It's just loaded with information.
If you are a business manager, a guy who wants to get into management, or if you're in the military, it's about leadership and it's just so full of tips.
It's great.
It's a meta tip.
It's really a good book, so it's called Might... I don't like the title.
It could have been called a lot of different things, but Might of the Chain by Studeman.
S-S-T-U-D-E-M-A-N.
Get a copy if you want to have something good to read.
Wow!
A reading tip.
That doesn't happen often.
I think once a month I'm going to try to do a book.
No commercials.
More content.
Your No Agenda Tip of the Day.
There it is.

All coming in with end of show mixes.
Good to have you boys on board, as usual.
End of show, let's see.
That means we have something coming up next.
Ah, yes!
Behind the Schemes with Boobury and Lavish.
Live.
Is it live?
I don't know if they're live, but they're on the Noah Jenner stream, which is 24-7.
There's no reason to even...
You know what we say in the old days?
Lock it in and rip the knob off.

I don't know what's wrong with you young people.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
I think that sounds pretty good.
Everything is in context.
Pick up the kids and pay your bills.
Look, lost and confused.
So she'd lower everyone's income?
Yes.
I think that sounds pretty good.
Is that a good thing?
That is a good thing.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Who the hell is in charge?
I don't know what's wrong with you young people.
Because she is smart and she's more reliable.
Who the hell is in charge?
What do you think about Donald Trump?
He started World War III.
Yeah, yeah, that's just not true.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
I think that sounds pretty good.
The leader who's tough.
Tested.
Yeah, yeah, that's just not true.
A total badass.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Looked lost and confused.
So she'd lower everyone's income?
Yes.
Everything is in context.

That is a good thing.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
They don't care about you at all.
At all.
At all.
Who the hell is in charge?
Because she is smart and she's more reliable.
They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking.
They're not interested in that.
That doesn't help them.
That's against their interest.
That's right.
I don't know what's wrong with you young people.
The leader who's tough.
Hey, this scorching torrential heat is happening globally in Canada and it's unrelenting.
Here we go.
Stand up.
And one climate scientist at Berkeley, you may have read this, Dave, said that this is absolutely gobsmackingly bananas.
And that's coming from a scientist.
Oh no!
A scientist used the word gobsmack.
Yeah.
Malicious malaria.
Mosquitoes are back.
Another Gates invention with hysteria.
Meant to attack.
Stick a thermometer in this jacuzzi planet scorching torrential heat.
I think I know who planned it.
Gobsmackingly bananas.
Ocean's a hot tub and now they want to cancel winter in Canada.
It's pretty chilly here all year.
Survey everything and stop almost nothing.
Old is the new fear.
What's the cost for your citizenship, my boss?
It's a jacuzzi planet!
I'm so cross.
Claiming privacy is necessary to protect the neck.
Only real way to keep the masses really in check.
Cause they don't really rally.
Distracted with the day-to-day.
The grind, I mean the dreck.
They don't really rally.
Distracted with the day-to-day.
The grind and the dreck.
Global citizen never made sense to me.
You can only live your life as a private sovereign entity.
Can we all agree?
Collectivism over your individuality is a hell of a schism.
If you're gonna stick a thermometer in the planet, to get an accurate temperature, wouldn't you stick it into the planet's butthole?
Or Toronto, as it were?
I already made...
Wow, Toronto.
I think that, listen, we, um, today is actually, I believe, an anniversary in terms of Dr. King, right?
And I was just in Selma, and we celebrated, acknowledged the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
I think it's really important that we as Americans always embrace our history, the parts that we're proud of and the parts that we're not proud of but that we can't forget.
And we should all agree that we should teach history, we should learn history.
If we're to ever have an accurate idea of where we want to go and where we don't want to go in the future.
And that means also acknowledging the importance of diversity.
It means acknowledging the importance of the fact that everyone should have equal opportunity to compete.
You've been the worst vice president in the history of our country.
