	I'm here in my personal capacity.
	This is No Agenda.
	Celebrating like Commodores!
	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 understand they're bulldozing the living and the dead in North Carolina to get to the lithium.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning!
	Before we get into that, may I congratulate you, sir, on 1,700 episodes of the best podcast in the universe.
	And may I congratulate all the producers who have contributed to this program over almost 17 years.
	And may I congratulate you, sir.
	Yes, please, sir, do so.
	I feel like I need it.
	Uh, hey!
	Whoever thought?
	I remember after episode one, hundred.
	Yeah, you quit.
	Yeah, it was a good run.
	That was a great run.
	We did a hundred shows.
	Let's quit. Let's quit. We're good to go.
	What happened?
	I don't know. We just kept on chugging.
	Kept on going on, going on, going on.
	It's a public service, that's why.
	And you have a public service mentality.
	Well, then, there's a good point.
	We do do it as a public service.
	I think it's a public service in many ways.
	It calms people down.
	Yeah, it helps them a lot.
	It keeps them from doing rash things or thinking weirdly, oddly.
	Yes, it keeps families together.
	Not always. Or not.
	Or it breaks the families up that really deserved it.
	Yeah, probably.
	They probably, yeah, sooner than later.
	You'll test your relationships with this show, that's for sure.
	Well, yeah, if your relationship involves one of the two people being something of a knee-jerk lunatic.
	And I feel super blessed today, because not only is it episode 1700...
	Which we all share. We all share in this.
	Because without the producers, we would be nowhere.
	I received two People's Choice Awards.
	Yeah. Wait, let me guess.
	Two People's Choice Awards?
	I assume it's from two different organizations.
	No, it's from the same organization.
	It's the 19th Annual People's Choice Podcast Awards, which is, as far as I'm concerned, the original podcast awards that Todd Cochran does from Blueberry.
	Okay. Didn't you win something from him some time ago?
	Oh, Hall of Fame, like, 10 years ago.
	I was inducted into the first Hall of Fame for, like, Best Producer.
	Okay. No, this is...
	I received both a listener and podcaster Influencer of the Year Award!
	I'm sorry. The influences are determined by the total number of write-ins by listeners and podcasters.
	That's 800 podcasters and 5.1 million listeners who participated.
	So 5.1 million people voted for you because you're influential?
	Well, they voted, I don't know if all 5.1, but a majority did, I guess, or more than the others.
	I think it's as an influence...
	Who came in second? There's no second place.
	There's no second place.
	Oh, there's no winning. No, there's no winning.
	It's just holding hands and telling a secret.
	So... Yes.
	Well, congratulations on this.
	You get a big trophy, a big giant...
	If I send Todd $75 for each trophy, I get a trophy.
	Oh. This is like the who's who book.
	Well, you used to get a trophy, but then, you know, budget slash podcasting isn't what it used to be.
	You know, there's no more big sponsors.
	Like, oh yeah, I'll...
	But there's also so many award shows who can keep track.
	Anyway. Yes, it is a sad day or a sad week for the American government.
	And I will say it for several reasons.
	But first, when your people don't trust you, conspiracy theories run rampant.
	And it really is sad because the people have so little distrust, so little trust in the American government, in the federal government for sure, that they will just get sucked into any conspiracy theory.
	And this one was going rampant from people there, from people who I know.
	The guy told the guy who told the guy who told the guy!
	Yeah, I was there when it happened.
	Now there is...
	So, okay, you don't have a clip of it, do you?
	You didn't actually clip that nonsense, I'm sure.
	What? People being bulldozed?
	Living and dead? Well, the bulldozing might actually be happening.
	I don't know about that. I haven't seen any evidence of it.
	They can't even get cars in there.
	How are they going to get a bulldozer in?
	The big conspiracy theory meme that was going around is that this was HAARP, this was weather modification to flood the entire area where the lithium is to declare eminent domain and take it!
	Now, there's a couple things with this.
	But they were also going to take the quartz.
	Don't forget that. Well, there is something to be said for the quartz mines.
	The quartz mines are important quartz mines.
	But when it comes to eminent domain, people should look up how eminent domain works.
	Let's stop. Before you continue with the quartz mine thing, because I got some notes from different...
	Well, let's stay with the lithium. But I got to correct you about the importance of these quartz mines.
	Okay. I called up a chip company.
	Oh, thank you. A wafer operation.
	There you go. And talk to one of the directors, and he says that he'd never even heard of this place.
	Really? There's quartz all over the world, but it's silica that they want for the chips.
	They use the quartz to make crucibles and other things.
	It's not like it's part of necessarily an aspect.
	The foundation, a big giant wafer, which is a grown silicon crystal, they used to be called crystals.
	Now they're called ingots. They're not made from quartz.
	Well, what is the quartz used for?
	It's used for making all kinds of stuff.
	Quartz is a valuable product.
	I have a quartz beaker.
	Well, but hold on a second.
	Just stick with... Because the headlines are...
	And this is important. And I'm glad you called someone up.
	That... Okay, I even have a Wired article from 2018.
	That's the key to the whole thing.
	Wired. The Wired article.
	In fact, somebody sent me the Wired article.
	I won't say who it is.
	It's a mutual friend.
	Well, let me just read the subgraph or the important graph, whatever you guys call it.
	The nut. Let me read the nut.
	Let me fist this nut for you.
	The processor that makes your laptop or cell phone work was fabricated using quartz from this obscure Appalachian backwater.
	Okay, debunk.
	It's bullcrap.
	Okay, and why is it bullcrap?
	It's just a quartz place.
	They were all over the world, these quartz operations.
	But apparently this is the cleanest quartz ever.
	Oh, bullcrap.
	Who cares? This stuff is refined anyway.
	It's like a salt mine.
	Oh, this salt has got less contaminants than the other salt.
	I read that article.
	The article is exaggerating everything.
	And it's written by, as far as I'm concerned, some of these Atlantic writers, just a Newtonic character, exaggerating the situation.
	It's an exaggeration.
	All right. Well, good.
	I mean... I know.
	It was dramatized.
	The guy comes into the restaurant.
	He's got powder. It's as fine as cocaine.
	I'm hoping nobody busts us because I got this fine.
	Look at this. This comes from this one place nobody else has.
	Oh, my God. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	This is unbelievable.
	And it got caught up as everyone said, oh, magic quartz mine in North Carolina.
	And it's like the lithium's the same way.
	Lithium, the main lithium deposit is the United States.
	Just look it up. Nevada.
	Yeah, Nevada. And in the world, Bolivia.
	We're fourth place.
	Bolivia's got the most.
	They better send some harp over to Bolivia then to capture that lithium.
	I mean, this whole exaggeration about what's going on in North Carolina and then throwing this quartz based on that Wired article and lithium.
	Oh, lithium. This is going to be the key.
	We've got to steal it. What is the government going to do with it?
	And then the whole, I love how they just throw out eminent domain, which I hear a lot.
	Oh, eminent domain. Eminent domain must be used in the public interest.
	It's very difficult, although there was a court case where they actually tried it not too long ago.
	Um, um...
	They tried to say, well, we're going to sell it to this private company because it would benefit the economics in the region.
	Now, let's just go to the last time we heard eminent domain.
	Do you remember that? It wasn't that long ago.
	It was the Maui fire.
	Same thing. They used sapphire blue beam laser.
	Everything that was blue didn't fry all the elites' houses.
	They're going to take our land and under eminent domain!
	So the county did actually propose eminent domain over a swath of land where they dumped all of the fire debris, and the federal judge even knocked that down.
	So there was no eminent domain.
	What will happen, I'm quite sure, is people will look at what they can get from these bogative insurance companies, which may even be the insurance companies launching this nonsense, because you're not going to get the value for your home.
	And then the prospectors come in, they say, well, how about I buy this from you for more than you get from your insurance company?
	And what are you going to do?
	Yeah, I would think that the insurance companies are launching this nonsense.
	I never considered that, but that's a distinct possibility.
	Yeah. Anyway, it is very sad.
	We have a lot of producers, particularly in the Asheville area, in northwest Tennessee.
	This blew my mind.
	We were just talking about OP Way, the handmade leather sneaker company who wanted to make a no-agenda sneaker.
	Yeah. The entire factory wiped away.
	Well, that's terrible.
	Yes. And Justin, you know, he had just sent us this note saying how proud he was that, you know, they weren't loser millennials and they had been listening to the show while building this company and they put all their money into the factory and it's completely wiped away.
	And the pictures are just disheartening, heartbreaking.
	Yeah, it's a mess. And the government has done a piss poor job.
	We can agree on that.
	Well, there's a couple of things about that.
	Yes, the government has done pretty much nothing.
	But what I'm hearing is that there are Chinook 60s and 47s that have not been able to take off and do anything, which is a National Guard, because...
	Title X has not been enacted, and what I'm hearing is that the state is saying, no, we don't want federal help under Title X because we don't want to become the mess that Katrina was, which is interesting.
	I have no corroboration, but I also have nothing.
	I have no governor talking.
	I have no mayor talking.
	Have you seen any of these local officials do any kind of news conference?
	I mean, it's not that they might not be doing them, but we just haven't seen it.
	Well, I have looked, and I haven't been able to find anything.
	All I hear is, oh, we want to send some choppers over.
	Stand down order!
	We've gotten stand down orders!
	There is something going on.
	And by the way, when they say this, I've seen a lot of these videos, TikToks filled with them.
	Who's giving the stand down order?
	They. It's always they.
	Yeah. What this does show, and I love this part about this disaster, is the American people, when it comes down to it, will help each other.
	They don't sit around and wait for the government.
	And for the first time in my life as a ham radio operator, the hams actually are doing a good job.
	I mean, I've been listening on the repeater, and they're doing everything from locating people to finding, hey, I need a hundred foot of corrugated pipe.
	Yeah, but I've never heard them actually do it.
	And the emergency net worked.
	It was good.
	And it's ongoing. They're handing off, and they were doing 24-hour emergency net.
	That was quite spectacular.
	I love the... People were calling up Lincoln Airport and basically buying gas for airplanes and helicopters, private helicopters that were just flying stuff around.
	People were using drones to fly insulin out to people who were stuck.
	That's America.
	We don't care who you are, what your political beliefs are.
	When it comes down to it, the Americans help each other.
	I love that part.
	And now I just have to understand how did this happen?
	They're telling me that 40 trillion gallons of rain fell?
	Huh? A dam must have broken.
	Something must have happened to create this flood.
	Besides climate change, of course.
	What happened?
	You're asking me?
	I'm not a meteorologist.
	No. A lot of rain. All we're getting is climate change nonsense.
	Well, that doesn't help.
	No, it doesn't. I have a 47-second update from NBC. Former President Trump arriving in Georgia with the Christian humanitarian relief organization Samaritan's Purse trying to make a political issue out of the federal government's response.
	They're not being responsive.
	The federal government is not being responsive.
	The former president falsely claiming President Biden had refused to get on the phone with elected officials like Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp.
	Both the White House and Kemp say the two leaders spoke the night before.
	He just said, hey, what do you need?
	He offered that if there's other things we need, just to call him directly, which I appreciate that.
	A furious President Biden says Trump is making things up.
	He's lying. Yeah, I'm glad we politicized it.
	That's great. That's fantastic.
	Good job, everybody.
	Good job. That's what you do.
	Yeah. And then we had the magic number popping up everywhere.
	The death toll across several states now stands at more than 130, according to the Associated Press, in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
	And that is expected to rise as hundreds of people in hard-hit western North Carolina are listed as missing.
	Search and rescue efforts continue as authorities try to reach towns left inaccessible by washed-out roads, especially in the Asheville area.
	Vice President Kamala Harris says FEMA is working hard.
	So far, more than 3,300 federal personnel are on the ground to assist with recovery efforts.
	They are deploying food, water, and generators.
	And we continue to work with teams on the ground to restore water and power as quickly as possible.
	President Biden is expected to visit the area tomorrow, and he will get an aerial tour of Asheville.
	Former President Donald Trump visited Helene's impact on Valdosta, Georgia, yesterday.
	I was, you know, scouring through the completely insecure, no agenda telegram groups.
	I was a little disappointed.
	I mean, we've had meetups in the area.
	I thought at least some people would be on the telegram groups communicating or seeing if they could help anybody.
	And all that I really saw was, you know, the lithium!
	Lithium. Yeah, so that was a little disappointing.
	By the way, you mentioned, what was the tonnage of rain that you mentioned?
	40 trillion, according to, well, New York One.
	All right. That comes from AP. 40 trillion.
	How many trillion was dumped on during Katrina?
	I have no idea. Yeah, there you go.
	There's nothing to compare that to.
	No. But, you know, the levees broke.
	I mean, I don't know.
	It just... It feels to me like something else happened here, and I know that some dams were in danger of breaking.
	I'm not sure if any... We just...
	We basically have no information.
	None. As usual.
	No information.
	Other than it's a tragedy.
	It's an absolute tragedy.
	France 24...
	Of course, good little servants that they are, they took it to the political realm, and why not?
	Fraser, Joe Biden then visiting some of the worst-hit areas this hurricane.
	Government agencies had, of course, been tracking it, giving warnings about its strength.
	But the very future of those agencies and the work that they do, they could be under threat by a potential Trump presidency.
	Tell us more about that. Yeah, this is all revolving around something called Project 2025, which is a blueprint for a future republic.
	Can you believe this? Can you believe they did this?
	Oh, no. You think it's bad now?
	That's it. It's the Heritage Foundation that's responsible.
	...presidency put forward by a conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation.
	Trump says that he doesn't have anything to do with this Project 2025.
	He doesn't. A lot of the people who are the architects of this mandate are former Trump officials.
	So a lot of the Democrats in the United States are saying that this is what Donald Trump would be using if he were to get re-elected.
	Under it, it calls for a host of different things, but some of the federal agencies that
	this mandate would dismantle or at least massively restructure include FEMA, who are overseeing
	the disaster relief in the wake of this hurricane, and also NOAA as well, which is the National
	Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
	Now, NOAA has a lot under its mandate, including weather forecasting, but also climate monitoring,
	as well as coastal restoration and fisheries and more.
	This mandate affects about a third of the American GDP, so it is a significant mandate
	And two of the organizations which fall under it include the National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center, which, of course, both were pivotal in tracking Hurricane Helene.
	Yeah, blah, blah. They went on for another minute with this.
	It's ridiculous.
	Oh, we won't have weather reports.
	Weather reports will be gone.
	Yeah, they're going to shut it all down because of Project 2025.
	They were tracking it. You know, if anything, they did a horrible job because they underplayed the danger of this.
	It was like, ah, it should be 85 mile an hour, you know, 35 gusting 85.
	I watch the Fox Weather Channel more than I should.
	Mm-hmm. And I have to say that's exactly true.
	And remember I told you- Considering what we see now, especially the bulldozing the living and the dead- Mm-hmm.
	They underplayed it to an extreme.
	It was like, well, it's going to be gusts.
	There'll be gusts of 90.
	And if you remember, I said before this thing hit, I said, I'm getting a lot of notices from people saying they find the reporting very odd, very off-kilter, doesn't sound right.
	And people were saying that before it hit.
	And there you go. If they had said, hey, it could be 40 trillion, somehow they know it's 40 trillion gallons.
	I don't know how they measure it, but...
	I don't know how you'd do that either.
	But now it's like, oh, it's 40 trillion.
	It's obviously a computer model. Yeah, there you go.
	And it's all climate change.
	And probably developed by AI. Yes.
	With cloud seeding and a sapphire blue laser.
	I love the sapphire blue laser story.
	That is actually my favorite.
	What I liked, I was watching some C-SPAM, and people were mad.
	They were mad at the media because the media could not resist.
	This is a national tragedy in multiple states.
	Americans, you know, and oh man, which is, oh, we got new evidence about Trump.
	We got this, we got that.
	Oh, we got a debate.
	People were mad. Here from Ned in Georgia, Independent Line.
	Yes, sir. I'm calling from Haydenville, Georgia.
	You mentioned Chick-fil-A earlier.
	That's where Chick-fil-A was invented, too.
	Cassie used to flip hamburgers for me and my dad.
	But I called to tell you that if there's anything important in this modern world, sir, it's C-SPAN. You provide the general population three hours every day with an opportunity to call in and say something important.
	I want to get off the line quickly because I'm hoping one day somebody will call in and say, gee, I wonder how Julian Assange is doing today, or how is Jamal Khashoggi's fiancé doing today?
	We all hear 20 times a day how Greta or whoever, what does it say?
	I love my seats, man, but I don't want to hear people talking about the weather in Mexico and how well their dog can blow a truck on her.
	I want to hear something important.
	Did you hear what Willie said about that Palestinian issue?
	Do you want to hear more talk like that?
	You want people asking each other how they're doing today.
	May I go now, please?
	Thank you. Then we got this caller.
	Let's hear from David.
	David in Democrats Line, North Carolina.
	Good morning. Good morning.
	You're on. Go ahead. This is looking forward.
	I'm looking at y'all now, and they ain't talking a bit about North Carolina, the people dead in North Carolina, and the mountain area, boom.
	This just went on.
	But every single station was, oh, and we got a little update.
	A little update over here.
	Oh, it's bad. Oh, there's a house washing away.
	They're so removed from it.
	Really, it's just, oof.
	Media is no good, and the government...
	You can't trust the government. You can't trust your local government, and you never should.
	You never should.
	It was the idea. What do you mean?
	The idea was never to trust the government.
	That's why the Constitution was written.
	Thank you. It was all...
	The whole thing was written as what the government can't do.
	Yes. Amen to that.
	And what the government can't do is...
	Stock the shelves!
	We said that this was the real news of the day.
	It was, of course, before the Hurricane Helene struck.
	But we've got that strike going on now.
	I have a clip. Okay, what you got?
	I-L-U strike.
	The big port strike enters day two with no sign of progress in negotiations.
	We take a deeper look at how the strike could affect you.
	Okay! I.L.A. Union!
	I.L.A. Union!
	Thousands of dock workers enter day two of their massive strike.
	Union! Downside Union!
	Shutting down 14 major U.S. ports.
	Union! Leaving many at a standstill.
	It starts to last longer than one week.
	We're going to start to see serious, I would say quite serious problems in supply chain.
	Maritime business professor Jean-Paul Rodry says consumers may not notice anything in the first week, but things will get more expensive and scarcer very quickly.
	Harold Daggett, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, has indicated that union workers are willing to strike for a very long time.
	In today's world, I'll cripple you.
	I will cripple you.
	The effects of the strike reaching even the president.
	We're hearing from the folks recently that they're having trouble getting the product they need because of the pork strike.
	Look, they're just gonna sit down and talk.
	Because, remember, we negotiated a similar strike on the West Coast before, and they worked it out.
	It's time. They won't even talk, so let's get that done.
	Major imports that will be disrupted.
	Retail goods, lumber, electronics, furniture, and food.
	98% of all the coffee coming in this country comes in containers.
	Coffee! Coffee!
	Coffee! Also, tropical fruits, everything which is cold-chain-related.
	It's going to quickly be disrupted and consumers at a grocery store, on the store shelves or even buying stuff online are going to start to notice.
	Yeah, so that bit of him, I will cripple you.
	We played on the last show.
	I have an update here.
	When Harold Daggett, he is the president of the ILA, of the union, was on the picket line, and he laid out a bit more about his demands and how angry everybody really is.
	Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the export market?
	Listen... Now you start to realize who the longshoremen are, right?
	People never gave a s*** about us until now, when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now.
	Cars won't come in.
	Food won't come in.
	Clothing won't come in.
	You know how many people depend on our jobs?
	Half the world!
	And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us.
	Because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share!
	Just one question.
	What will it take to get you back into negotiations?
	What do you want to hear? You want to hear it?
	Five hours across the board for six years.
	I want all my container royalty 50-50 split.
	It all comes back to the ILA where it used to be.
	What was the other one? Automation, stronger language.
	To get me back to the table.
	If I don't get that, I'm not coming back to the table.
	And if we have to be out here a month or two months, this world will collapse.
	Don't blame me. Don't blame me.
	Blame me. Before we get to the collapse part, we have, of course, the best producers in the universe on all sides of this.
	One of our truck drivers boots on the ground who gets containers out of the ports in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
	Delaware he says
	One thing that wasn't mentioned I hadn't heard the Union was asking for the same pay
	between ports apparently the New York port workers get paid a lot more than
	the Delaware port workers But the big thing he says is automation and this is really
	the the issue the West Coast I think a lot of it is already automated and
	He says that's the automation I can understand them not wanting it
	But when I as a truck driver get into a port to pick up a container get told I don't know where it is
	And I got to drive around and find it for myself. They definitely need to do something better
	We need a better system.
	And I think what they're saying here is, you've got to pay us off if you want to bring in automation.
	And that's inevitable.
	And of course, it's billed as AI! No, it's just automation.
	Which will be safer, and there's a lot of, you know, China has it all.
	China's almost fully automated.
	Yeah, and yeah, I mean, that is one of those horse and buggy jobs that will have to go away, and automation is not some mythical AI. It's just automation.
	It's robotics, which I think we need, and we even heard a lot about it during COVID, that truck drivers couldn't find what they were looking for.
	It's very, very difficult.
	Now, the thing that Now, of course, there's a lot of impact that everyone has thoughts on.
	Here's the CBC with their report, and then I have another boots on the ground.
	This strike will at least delay delivery of everything from car parts to alcohol, furniture to cotton and wood.
	Yeah, we have containers that are at sea.
	That's Anthony Formusa, president of National Produce Marketing in Toronto.
	He's scrambling to get containers carrying mangoes from Brazil and pineapples from Costa Rica to a port so they can offload before that produce goes bad.
	The value of those containers is going to be, I'll tell you, if you're looking at about...
	You know, $30,000 to $40,000 U.S. per container.
	He says a day or two is manageable, but after that, those mangoes and pineapples will start to rot.
	Pascal Chan from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce says the potential hit to businesses gets big fast.
	That daily trade value is estimated in excess of $2.1 billion U.S. dollars.
	And then given the amount of trade goods and services that flow across the country, it's $3.6 billion across the border every day.
	Shipping companies have known this strike was a possibility, so they've been rerouting containers for months.
	Ports unaffected by the labor action have seen record levels of cargo since August, so there won't be immediate shortages.
	But even if both sides reach a deal, Danny Munch, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation, says it could take months to sort through the backlog.
	A two- to three-day strike will take two weeks to clear.
	A one-week strike will bring us into November.
	And a two-week strike will bring us into early next year before those containers and ships will be processed.
	The Biden administration has been under pressure to intervene, but for now we'll only say collective bargaining is the best way for workers to get the pay and benefits they deserve.
	So let's stick with the...
	With the shipping part, so again, from the trucking industry, they have a podcast, believe it or not, and they have an update on inventory, so stuff that is already onshore that needs to be shipped into destinations within the United States.
	It is day two of the International Longshoremen's Association Union Strike at East and Gulf Coast ports.
	The repercussions are rippling into industries across the country, and one of those is trucking.
	And joining us now is Chris Spear, CEO and President of American Trucking Associations.
	Chris, it is good to see you.
	So let's dig right into the strike, Chris.
	I'm curious, you know, the impact, the ripple effects you're seeing in your industry, the trucking industry.
	Well, Josh, we're not even two days into this strike, and we're already seeing 62 container ships scrambled that were inbound at East and Gulf Coast ports, carrying nearly 500,000 containers.
	My industry moves, as an example, 12,000 of those boxes a day at New York, New Jersey.
	We're already tracking multiple ports and seeing the activity diminish in Savannah and Houston, 100% shutdown in activity for trucks.
	If you go a little further out in Savannah, you're seeing truck activity and warehousing down 60% as those supplies and inventories begin to deplete.
	In Houston, 20%, but obviously more warehousing there than in Savannah.
	So we're seeing the activity really quickly unfold, and probably by this weekend, if this strike continues, those inventories will be gone.
	So we heard that shipping companies have been rerouting for many months in anticipation of this.
	And one of our producers comes in anonymously who works for the largest railroad in the United States.
	He says, we compete against trucks and barge.
	If the commodity being shipped can move via barge, it almost always does it that way because it's cheaper.
	It's cheaper to float products down a river than use a locomotive truck to power them across the country.
	However, he says that the rivers have been at the lowest in a long time, and they have been shipping and moving products from the West Coast on 40 train cars, tallow, lumber, automotive parts, steel, etc. He says the longshoremen are way overplaying their hand on how much of an impact this will have.
	And again, he says the river levels have been lower and unpredictable.
	Railroads successfully made the case that shippers need to have optionality and should fold rail into the transportation plan.
	And they have been ready for this.
	So it may not be as bad as everyone is saying.
	The thing that we're not talking about is the exports.
	The exports could make it a very cold winter in Europe.
	Because LNG is not moving out.
	And if you recall, ever since the war in Ukraine, there's no gas from Russia.
	Nord Stream magically blowed up.
	And we have been exporting most of the liquid natural gas to Europe.
	So that's not going to get out.
	Also, soybeans, this is major stuff that we exported.
	$34 billion a year, corn, wheat, cotton, oil, although oil will be okay.
	The reserves at the ports are pretty empty, so they can fill up those vats, from what I understand, for quite a while.
	So it may not be as bad as everyone thinks it is.
	Already though, it's impacting the meat business export.
	A strike at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports will have an immediate impact on the movement of some ag products.
	That's because nearly half of U.S. meat export volume is shipped out through those ports.
	Officials say the hit to the pork sector will be harder than the beef sector, with nearly a third of U.S. pork
	supplies being exported.
	Officials with the U.S. Meat Export Federation say that for every week the strike goes on, a minimum of $100 million
	will be lost in revenue.
	There you go.
	So the exports, that could be a real problem.
	I think that's a bigger problem maybe even than the imports.
	Well, the exports, especially on the East Coast, are high.
	Yeah. Not so much on the West Coast.
	But I'll say this. This is kind of interesting.
	If the meats are not being exported, they have to kind of push them into the domestic market, which will lower grocery prices.
	Prices, yes. And it's almost as if, because everyone says, well, this is going to be inflationary because everything's going to go up in price.
	Not food. Nope.
	So food will come down at price.
	So meat prices should come down because they're going to have to flood the American market with beef and pork.
	Do you think that's why the Biden administration is not implementing Taft-Hartley?
	Because they know it will actually lower inflation?
	Which is exactly where I was headed with this.
	Thank you. Yeah, I think you're right.
	Because they're like, oh, we're not going to taff Hartley to them.
	Let them go. And then they brought...
	The problem is you have to have some pretty sharp, and I don't believe this is true, you have to have some pretty sharp strategists in the Biden administration.
	You have the Donilon brothers, those guys from BlackRock.
	They're not dumb. They're not dumb.
	No. So it's possible that the whole thing is strategized and it was even encouraged that the strike takes place because that's going to divert the meat back into the domestic market.
	It should drop the price of cuts of beef.
	The hamburger will be back down to less than a dollar a pound.
	Bring back the dollar menu meal.
	And we'll get back to cheap chicken.
	Cheap chicken is on the horizon.
	Producer from Walmart.
	So the rumor spreading at Walmart HQ in Bentonville today is there's about 24 hours before shortages start hitting Walmart due to the hurricane and shipping strike.
	The only thing about this rumor is that it's only being spread by Walmart corporate employees, in parentheses, shareholders.
	Has a very similar vibe to the early pandemic days before everything went nuts.
	A bunch of the execs had COVID and kept it secret.
	Considering we are in the early stages of the Christmas shopping season and we're in election season, the strike seems a bit suspicious.
	Toilet paper! Oh, yeah.
	Oh, have you seen what's happening at Costco?
	Toilet paper! Toilet paper, water, paper towels, everybody's going nuts.
	I'm going to Costco today and I'll report back.
	Personally, I doubt it.
	Well, I mean, I've seen the videos of the long, long lines.
	Oh, the videos, yeah. Yeah, but I think it'll be...
	I'm in agreement with our producers here.
	By the way, they are boots on the ground.
	What do I know? I'm not a longshoreman.
	I'm a long podcaster man.
	Literally. It may not be that bad.
	It may actually be somewhat advantageous.
	We'll have to see because the West Coast is open and they've been prepared for this and the trains are rolling.
	Lots of trains. I should mention this is I'm kind of boots on the ground in the fact that I have a train track that I can visually see from the hill.
	I don't see that much.
	I don't see an increase in movement.
	Well, they're probably squeezing the East Coast because you guys are a-holes.
	Like, let's not send it to them.
	It just looks normal to me.
	And I'm not saying, you know, I mean, I understand in Southern California, because it's been posted, lines of trucks go miles and miles waiting to get to Long Beach and the other, whatever ports are down there that take cargo containers.
	I'm looking at the freeway.
	I can see the freeway from here.
	I'm seeing normal amount of trucks carrying a container.
	I don't see anything. It's not ridiculous.
	It looks pretty standard to me.
	I've been to the vegetable store recently.
	There's nothing different. Peruvian avocados are still there.
	Gina Raimondo.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Our commerce secretary.
	The hatchet-faced, horrible rat woman.
	That's a good description.
	The hatchet-faced horrible rat woman.
	Yes, our commerce secretary was on CNBC. And this is something that I've noticed that's been happening a lot in the mainstream media.
	And I know it's related to the Hatch Act.
	I think it's in this intro. Welcome back, everybody.
	Joining us right now is Gina Raimondo.
	She is the current Commerce Secretary, but she's joining us this morning in her personal capacity as a surrogate for the Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.
	And Commerce Secretary, thank you very much for being here this morning.
	So I'm hearing this a lot.
	You'll see Pete Buttigieg and like, I'm just here in my personal capacity as a surrogate for Kamala Harris.
	And that's bullcrap because you're still getting paid.
	Yes. Yes. But this is new.
	I haven't seen this in the past where they're all out there.
	This is a legal disclaimer because of all the lawfare going on.
	They have to do this so they can...
	No, I didn't know.
	No, I was on my own.
	I took the day off. I'm not really working for the American people here.
	I'm working for Kamala!
	I realize you're here as a surrogate for the vice president's campaign, but there's so much news of the day that I feel we have to ask you about.
	Wait, wait, stop.
	Does this count as part of her job if she's answering questions?
	Does she have to... Let's see.
	Does the ticker start up?
	Tick, tick, tick, tick, which is getting paid now?
	This is a good question. This is like a lawyer, you know?
	They say, well, this is a lawyer.
	The clock is on. Here we go.
	I wanted to start with this potential strike at the ports that's expected to take place tonight at midnight.
	Obviously, this is the first time since the 1970s that you would see strikes all up and down, not only the East Coast, but the Gulf ports.
	What What would this mean for commerce in this country?
	What would this mean for businesses if we go into this strike?
	And what do you know about it? Yeah, good morning.
	So as you said, I'm here in my personal capacity.
	I would say...
	Oh, please. Look, it's not a secret that this would be, depending on how long it lasts, could be incredibly disruptive to commerce.
	As you well know, you know, that so much commerce moves...
	How much does he sound like Kamala?
	It's the milieu.
	She's probably living at Kamala's house.
	It would be incredibly disruptive to commerce.
	As you well know, so much commerce moves through the ports.
	And if it goes a few days, I think, I'm sure, companies probably have their plans set.
	But especially we're in peak season, getting ready for the Christmas season.
	If a strike were to drag on, I think it could be really very, very disruptive to commerce.
	So I do hope that the parties stay at the table and resolve it as quickly as possible, hopefully averting a strike, but certainly Keeping the length of the strike as short as possible.
	The knock-on effects through the supply chain become quite extensive.
	Okay, so for my money, first of all, she works for us, okay?
	We don't pay her to work for Kamala Harris.
	She works for us. She should be on CNBC in her capacity as...
	Commerce Secretary, and be answering these questions and not, as you'll hear in this next clip, dodging around because, oh, I don't want to get in trouble with that.
	Work for us, lady, not for Kamala.
	Where are the issues most prominent?
	Where have you been kind of focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes, let's say, longer than a week?
	Again, I have not been very focused on that.
	I would refer you to the White House or the Transportation Secretary.
	I know the administration, the president himself, has said that he is not going to push the two...
	Becky's doing a good job here.
	She's trying to get it out of her.
	...sides together. He's urged them to talk.
	And I just wonder, have you heard from business leaders?
	You probably are the person in the administration who has business leaders here more than just about anybody else in terms of what this might mean for them.
	Come on, answer the question.
	I'm smiling because, again, I want to stay in the bounds of the Hatch Act here.
	So if you wanted to have me back as Commerce Secretary later in the week, maybe we could talk about that.
	But as I said, I haven't been particularly involved.
	So where are the priorities with this person?
	Her priority should be America and the American people, and she should be on first as Commerce Secretary, then come back, or say, okay, I'll be Commerce Secretary now, and we don't talk about Kamala, and then we'll do the second...
	I mean, anything but this.
	That was... It was very disturbing to me.
	And they all do it. Pete Buttigieg...
	It's pathetic. Pete Buttigieg goes on Kara Swisher's ON podcast.
	I'm here in my personal capacity, so...
	Douchebags, douchebags. And then this.
	Thank you, Commerce Secretary. Why don't we talk about why you're here today?
	And again, you are here in your personal capacity today to talk about what you see in the economy and as a surrogate of the Harris campaign.
	What do you see as the potential impact after the election on this front?
	I see huge, you were just asking me about disruption associated with storms and ports, and I think that's what you'll see with President Trump.
	I mean, he is erratic.
	His plans on tariffs, I think, will be very, very negative for this economy.
	Not only will they raise prices on everything, he's talking about a tariff on all imports.
	I mean, that's insane, right?
	That will raise prices of everything for everyone.
	It'll also hurt our manufacturing industry.
	People don't talk about this, but a lot of things made in America rely upon imports of components and such.
	It's going to cost manufacturing jobs.
	It's going to raise prices on everything.
	It could kick us into a trade war with certainly China, which we don't need.
	You know, every business leader I've ever spoken with, I used to be a governor, I used to run a business myself, you want predictability, right?
	You want somebody in the Oval Office who will engage with you, who will listen to you, who will be predictable, who will be smart and thoughtful.
	That's what you'll get in Kamala Harris.
	Okay, so she said a lot there about the tariffs and how horrible it's going to be.
	Trump was on, I am the podfather after all, was on the Dave Ramsey podcast.
	And he spoke about tariffs.
	And President William McKinley, this is a rap I've not heard from him yet.
	The word tariff to me is a very beautiful word because it can save our country, truly.
	And yet, I think because of graft, because of a lot of consulting payments and other things that are given by other countries, we have so much fighting with politicians on using it.
	I saved our steel industries by putting tariffs on steel that China came in and dumped.
	And you know what they do? They dump and dump and dump.
	Everybody goes out of business and they buy those businesses very cheap and then they raise the prices to higher than they ever were.
	That's one of the many benefits that they have if they want to do it.
	But by putting tariffs on, as an example, in the furniture business in North Carolina, It was so vibrant, and they stole our business.
	And they charge us, if you wanted to build a furniture place, if you want to sell your furniture in China, they won't take it.
	But if you want to build a plant in China to make furniture in China, using their labor, they open it.
	We're doing the same thing.
	A lot of people, oh, well, we don't want to have tariffs.
	The country was at the richest point in its history in the 1890s.
	It was all tariffs. If you looked at William McKinley as an example, he was a big tariff president.
	They had committees that were put in charge of what to do with the money.
	We were taking in so much money.
	And McKinley would say, why should we let other people come in and steal our factories and steal our workers and steal our jobs?
	And why shouldn't we benefit?
	And he tariffed the other countries.
	And we made so much and then they went to the income tax system later on.
	But they would actually have, they had a blue ribbon committee.
	Our country was so rich.
	They didn't know what to do with the money.
	And this Blue Ribbon Committee was set up to determine how can we spend all of this money?
	And they took it in through tariffs.
	But we can turn our country around, make it strong, and then guard it with tariffs.
	I had never heard of McKinley and his tariffs.
	And if you look it up...
	They shot him. They shot him for it?
	Oh, really? Well, that's a day wrecker.
	Well, he wasn't the only tariff president.
	I mean, Jefferson got himself into trouble doing the same thing much earlier on.
	But during McKinley, everything that I've been able to find, it worked.
	There was, I mean, we probably had actual manufacturing.
	Yes, we had manufacturing.
	We were making stuff here. And Trump's idea is, of course, that the tariff isn't to charge so everybody has to pay more for the stuff that's being imported.
	It's to make the American product more competitive.
	Yeah. By having the other prices go up.
	But we need product. We do need products.
	But we don't make much.
	I mean, it's an idealistic approach at this point.
	I think it's too little too late to be honest about it, in my opinion.
	But that's just my opinion. Do you think, in your opinion, do you think the tariffs will just raise prices?
	Across the board?
	That's what they're saying.
	The Democrats. I don't know if they do.
	I mean, he's done them before and it hasn't raised prices across the board.
	What raises prices across the board is ridiculous unfettered spending, which caused the inflation that we have today and it had nothing to do with tariffs.
	Oh, there's that. There's that.
	Are you sure he was shot?
	Yeah, he was assassinated in 1901.
	Huh. He had a lot with the Panama Canal.
	Oh, man. Assassination.
	He did too much. Yeah.
	He had a cool top hat, though.
	He had one of those top hats, and he had a big belly, so he had one of those dusters down to his knees.
	Trump should try that look.
	Try a top hat. As long as you just start looking like Taft.
	That was the fact. Taft was no good.
	So amidst all of this port and the hurricane, and I'm sitting here looking at stuff prepping yesterday, and I'm listening to the hams, to the repeater, because it was just really interesting to hear how they were handling that.
	And then all of a sudden, breaking!
	Breaking! The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference trial here in Washington, D.C. released a 165-page filing on Wednesday.
	That's a lot of pages.
	Must be something going on.
	Basically outlines the prosecution's case against Donald Trump and includes some never-seen-before evidence that they have against the former president of the United States.
	This then part of the special counsel Jack Smith's case to try...
	By the way, there's a story I was avoiding since you brought it up.
	I had to. Evidence never seen before?
	What evidence was never seen before?
	This is a document.
	It's coming up. In the document, was there evidence in there?
	Like a book or some paper?
	Fingerprints. I mean, what are they talking about?
	Evidence. They had fingerprints. No, the evidence is at the end of this report.
	This is why I'm playing the report.
	And they went on for hours.
	Jake Tapper was live.
	Oh, I'm only at page seven.
	I'm already sweating.
	I've got a boner. It's crazy.
	This then part of the special counsel Jack Smith's case to try to SCOTUS proof this,
	Supreme Court proof this ruling after the Supreme Court ruled in July that Donald Trump
	had immunity for acts that he undertook whilst in office.
	The special counsel is arguing that the majority of these things do not fall under that and
	instead were carried out by somebody who was actively seeking office and not currently
	holding office.
	Those include the fact that Donald Trump was told that his claim about dead people voting in Georgia was false but continued to push that narrative.
	It This is nothing new.
	None of this is new so far.
	But there is something new, Kona.
	Real evidence on the way.
	Also includes an anecdote about the former Vice President, Mike Pence, trying to convince Donald Trump that he lost the election and instead trying to get him to run in 2024.
	And Trump allegedly said, I don't know, 2024 is so far off.
	Now the Trump campaign is saying that this is an unconstitutional witch hunt.
	They say that it is tantamount to election interference, the fact that it is happening this close to the election.
	Now about a We're not really expecting any movement on this case before that election date.
	If anything, it's unlikely to go ahead before the end of the year.
	And of course, the future of it depends on who gets into the White House after that election.
	If it's the Democrats, then this case will likely go ahead, although Donald Trump does have some recourse with the district court and then the Supreme Court.
	But if Donald Trump wins and gets in, then his Department of Justice is likely to make this case go away altogether.
	So the whole 160-some pages, the evidence is that he was alone in his own private dining room tweeting, and therefore it was really, he wasn't acting as the president.
	This is the saddest October surprise I've ever seen.
	Because that's what it was.
	Even Hillary Clinton, like, oh, something's going to happen.
	We're getting an October surprise.
	I don't believe this is the October surprise.
	This is too lame.
	These people are lame.
	I think there'll be something better than that.
	This is October. What's the date today?
	The 3rd? Yes, we're just getting started.
	Well, I mean, look at what we already have.
	We have a hurricane.
	We have a port strike.
	We have Iran and Israel.
	And what is the president doing?
	He's sending messages to us.
	No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe, hands down.
	My dad used to say, Joey, those No Agenda guys shoot from the shoulder.
	Here's to four more years.
	And John and Adam, I hope you never find that exit strategy.
	There you go. Yeah, well, you know, he's got at least a good use of his time.
	The guy has nothing better to do than send messages to podcasters.
	What is he doing? I think we should talk about the debates.
	A singular, debate.
	Yeah, the debate.
	The debate. Okay.
	And only because I have to, right off the bat, the first thing I heard, I don't have a lot of Clips from the debate, I've won because it just backs up a point that I want to make with PBS being slanted.
	I know. Yeah, surprise.
	What a surprise. I'm shocked.
	Shocked? Very shocked, I tell you.
	Is the, is when Britt Hume said, the debate moderators were terrible.
	They were smug and arrogant.
	Yes, they are both terrible.
	Why is Norah O'Donnell still working at CBS? There's been nothing but rumors for the last year that they're going to kick her out of there.
	And yet, there she is.
	And then you have Margaret Brennan, the Face the Nation woman, who is just...
	I've mentioned this before.
	I saw her when she was being interviewed during COVID, when she was at home working, and she's a Hillary Clinton clone.
	She wears the same stupid hair thing, and she looks like Hillary without her makeup.
	It's just, like, ridiculous.
	While we're on appearance, can I talk about wardrobes for a moment?
	Take it. Well...
	Okay, just from a television production standpoint, they had Vance and Waltz's ties matching the moderator's dresses.
	So, Waltz had a blue tie, which is not all, and it wasn't a very attractive blue tie, and Nora was wearing her blue dress, and then Vance was wearing an atrocious reddish pink tie, and that's what Debra was, what's her name? The pink lady?
	That is, you said Debra, that screwed me up.
	I can't remember her name now, but she's the face the nation woman.
	Who made this up?
	Who said that was a good idea?
	I thought it was horrible.
	It was ugly colors.
	I know. It's a big deal.
	But yeah, ugly colors.
	And then coordinating it across the stage.
	Well, also the shoulder pads on...
	Yeah, well, that's modern.
	That's supposedly the look now.
	It is? Yeah.
	It looks terrible.
	Yeah, it looks very 80s.
	I agree. So anyway, onward to the content now that we've dealt with the...
	With the superficial part of it.
	Well, and the whole opening had a very Jeopardy feel to it.
	You know, with the camera move up and they're standing behind those desks.
	I was hearing the tune.
	I was hearing the tune in my head.
	The whole thing was like...
	I mean, I found it rather tedious and boring.
	I couldn't watch it.
	Well, how'd you get clips then?
	I went back and forth.
	Oh, okay. All right.
	And most of my clips are analysis clips.
	I don't really have that many clips.
	I have a couple of clips from it themselves, but we can do your analysis first.
	Well, I have one clip from it that I want to bring in as I do the PBS analysis.
	Okay. And then I have a clip that needs to be played just to show PBS did a terrible job.
	Listen to this. I got three clips from PBS. Debate PBS analysis one.
	A little more than a month to go, the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns are dialing in on key swing states.
	And for the first and only time, vice presidential candidates Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz squared off on the debate stage.
	Lisa Desjardins has this report.
	Oh, Lisa Desjardins with your big nose!
	In Georgia today, Vice President Kamala Harris arrived to survey the aftermath of Hurricane Colleen.
	I'm here today to thank all of those who are working.
	What does this have to do with the debate?
	That's what I'm asking myself.
	This is a straight-up clip right from the show.
	To get folks the support and the relief that they so desperately need and so rightly deserve, and particularly devastating in terms of the loss of life that this community has experienced, the loss of normalcy, and the loss of critical resources.
	Okay, that had nothing to do with the debate.
	So they throw it to Lisa Desjardins, as you put it, and she talks about Kamala.
	What does that get to do with anything?
	This is a debate.
	Okay, well, let's throw a little promotion in there for Kamala.
	Let's go to part two. Meanwhile, fresh off last night's CBS vice presidential debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz kicked off a Pennsylvania bus tour.
	What? Are they avoiding the entire debate altogether?
	They're just promoting them?
	First we had Kamala promotion, now we have a bus tour from Tim.
	This is great! Timmy's bus tour.
	To right now as Vice President, Kamala Harris has only one client.
	The people. The people.
	And Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, rallied crowds in Michigan.
	We already ran this experiment once.
	Donald Trump's economic policies worked for American families.
	They worked for American consumers.
	Governor, Senator, thank you for joining us.
	In the vice presidential debate last night, Vance came out focused on Harris.
	Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump.
	Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years?
	And the answer is your running mate, not mine.
	Well, Governor Walz had a shakier start.
	He was asked about the Middle East and whether Israel should preemptively strike at Iran.
	Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental.
	Getting its hostages back, fundamental.
	And ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
	At the top of Senator Vance's agenda, immigration.
	Moderators asked him about former President Trump's vow to carry out mass deportations.
	I think the first thing that we do is we start with the criminal migrants.
	About a million of those people have committed some form of crime in addition to crossing the border illegally.
	The contrast was clear, but the tone civil.
	Walls blamed Trump for blocking a relatively conservative border bill and criticized Vance for inflammatory, false statements about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
	Wow. You're telling me that that stupid bill that was killed by the...
	That really wouldn't...
	Was conservative?
	Yeah. It allowed like a million people in a month without any problem whatsoever.
	This is so slanted, but it gets worse with clip three.
	I believe Senator Vance wants to solve this, but by standing with Donald Trump and not working together to find a solution, it becomes a talking point.
	And when it becomes a talking point like this, we The moderators stepped in with one of just two fact checks in the debate, sparking a fiery exchange.
	Senator, and just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status.
	Senator, we have so much to get to.
	We're going to turn out of the economy.
	Thank you. Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check.
	Another substantive contrast came over abortion.
	The report should have said, even though the rules were that the moderators would not fact check, they fact checked anyway and then wouldn't let them respond and turn the mics off.
	She cuts it off.
	She lets Vance kind of bitch and moan there a little bit.
	And then she goes on to the next topic about abortion.
	This is Lisa Desjardins' great objective.
	By the way, PBS has gone so left.
	I mean, we say it all the time, but ever since Gwen Ifill died, this news operation is no good.
	They're no good.
	I repent often how we made fun of Gwen and we really miss her now.
	She was keeping that thing together.
	So she goes off and talks about something else.
	I had to cut it off there because it went on and on and on and just kind of going nowhere.
	So I had to back up.
	And so I got the debate fact check fiasco clip.
	And this is what really happened.
	Thank you, Governor. I'm sorry.
	This is what really happened when...
	When Vance was confronted by Margaret Brennan and Nora, and it was really Nora who brought in the fact check, and then Margaret Brennan cut it off and said, no, no, no, we've got to move on, and he tried to correct her bad fact check.
	Thank you, Governor. And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status.
	Senator, we have so much to get to.
	I think it's important. We're going to turn out of the economy.
	Thank you. Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check.
	And since you're fact-checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on.
	So there's an application called the CBP One App, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.
	That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years— Thank you, Senator.
	That is the facilitation of a legal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership.
	Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process.
	We have so much to get to, Senator.
	Those laws have been on the books since 1990.
	Thank you, gentlemen. The CBT One app has not been on the books since 1990.
	There it is. Cut them off!
	Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut.
	We have so much we want to get to.
	Thank you for explaining the legal process.
	We have microphone power!
	Not only that, but she was sneering.
	Margaret Brennan had the big smile on her face after somebody in the control room cut the mic and said, no, we're not talking about this.
	And we're going to go on to other things.
	We're moving on to important things. This was actually a debate that could have broken out.
	It would have been an actual debate.
	It would have been interesting.
	But no, they had to cut the mic because they wanted to be in complete control.
	So they lied about the fact-checking.
	This is CBS. CBS lied about the fact-checking.
	CBS lied about the open mics.
	This was terrible, which brings me to my next series of debate clips, which is only a couple.
	There's only a couple. These are the analysis clips I picked off from NTD because they brought some guy in.
	Now I have to find them.
	Debate analysis unique NTD. That might be it.
	Joining us now for his analysis of the first and final vice presidential debate this election is former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore.
	He's also the former U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
	Think tank. Governor, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us.
	Thanks for the chance to be on NTD. Oh, I love it!
	Now for all the verbal attacks we've seen on the campaign.
	My commercial rates just went up.
	Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
	What was funny about it when he said, thanks for giving me the opportunity to be on NTD. He made a point of that.
	If NTD called me today for a podcasting story, I'd like, no, no, I got no time for you.
	Thanks for the chance to be on NTD. Now, for all the verbal attacks we've seen on the campaign trail, Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz had a cordial debate, hearkening back to what politics used to be.
	What's your assessment of the tone and substance of the debate?
	We used to have actual debates.
	Well, first of all, the tone was surprisingly more cordial than we've seen in other times, but...
	But frankly, I have a little different take on it.
	It was nice and cordial and friendly until the last question.
	And the last question was clearly a setup.
	That was the question that basically demanded that Vance contradict his ticket leader, President Trump, and put him on the spot on that.
	What happened there? What just jumped in the audio?
	That was odd. It's just the way it came.
	Oh. That was the question that basically demanded that Vance contradict his ticket leader, President Trump, and put him on the spot on that.
	He handled it in a deft way.
	But then you saw Walls actually attack him in a vigorous and violent sort of way.
	He told him his answer was a damn answer.
	And that was clearly different from all the preceding discussions that had been had up to the debate at that point.
	It seems to me it's perfectly clear that that was a setup, that he had been debriefed on that.
	He said, now, you know, we're going to ask him this.
	This is the way you're going to answer.
	It seems to me that the time has come to get away from this business of just picking liberal teleprompter readers as the moderators.
	This was a terrible debate from the point of view of the moderators.
	So, you know, I'm not as warm and friendly about this debate as maybe some people are.
	If I can just interject, because this is really bugging me now.
	These are not debates.
	This is bullcrap.
	The American people have allowed the media to determine debate.
	A debate would be, go stand together, and then debate!
	And it would be great if you could yell and get in people's faces.
	That's a debate.
	None of this is a debate.
	In fact, I think clip two addresses this a little bit, and I have some thoughts on it too.
	There's been more focus on this vice presidential debate than previous ones due to a wide range of factors.
	When it comes to moving the needle among voters, do you think last night's debate will do that?
	Well, I think that it was intended to try to do that.
	I think, once again, the CBS framed the questions in such a way as to try to put Vance in a bad position.
	They didn't talk about inflation.
	They instead talked about giving away taxpayers' money to homeowners, even though it was inflation that causes the homeowners problems, paid leave, and just all kinds of ways that they were shaping this debate.
	So I think that the goal was to try to move the needle.
	And frankly, in my view, the modern telecommunications age does reamplify some of this.
	So I'm a big fan of the debates, but not of this.
	I think it's time to move away from these same network people and move back into something more like the Presidential Commission or something of that order.
	This business just going in and being beat up by left-wing commentators has got to stop.
	Amen. And I was thinking about this comment he made.
	It's got to stop. When did it begin?
	It began with Trump because when Trump did an independent debate, I think it was with CNN or one of these groups, the ratings went through the roof.
	Yeah. When Trump started, and so all these networks said, why are we getting in on this action?
	Because the numbers went through the roof, because the old debates, the Nixon-Kennedy debates and everything before that, they were, you know, they were debates, all right, but they weren't like...
	Blockbuster tentpole things for these networks.
	Entertainment. Entertainment that Trump specifically provided, and it probably began with the primaries in 2016 when Trump was calling a little Rubio and Jeb Bush was a loser and all this stuff.
	Low energy. Low energy.
	Low energy loser.
	It grabbed the public's attention.
	They started watching stuff that they would never watch in a million years.
	If you watch your local mayoral debates, nobody watches these things because they're boring.
	Trump made them interesting and compelling and people, oh, let's go see what he's going to do this time.
	They're eating the dogs.
	I mean, he always had something.
	Yes. And so, but this guy's right.
	This is bull crap. These networks are, this is no good.
	These debates are useless crap.
	Well, remember, it was the Women's League of Voters who organized these previously, and they said, we're giving up.
	We don't want to participate in this anymore, the way the media wants to run it.
	They gave it back, said, nope.
	Yeah, because the media was stepping all over the basics.
	The media is a bunch of greedy bastards and they just saw this as a moneymaker, a money grab to put Trump on and beat him up or try to get him to say something silly like, you know, or something funny, like funny usually.
	Yeah. They're eating the dogs!
	It's the best. It is the best.
	It is the best. So it was a...
	I don't know. I thought the thing was a joke.
	And Brennan and O'Donnell suck.
	And they should be out of there.
	They suck. The whole concept sucks.
	It's not a debate.
	It's just not a debate.
	Well, when the debate almost broke out, they cut the mics.
	It was like, there it is right there.
	There's your debate. Can't have that.
	There was a little bit of a debate where Waltz actually admitted to wanting to censor people for hate speech.
	And that kind of slipped through.
	And then a massive fact check, which we've done on this show, which they just let go.
	But you guys attack us for not believing in democracy.
	The most sacred right under the United States democracy is the First Amendment.
	You yourself have said there's no First Amendment right to misinformation.
	Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government.
	They kind of got buried by saying, but I'm talking about hate speech.
	No, and this could have been a lively debate.
	Kamala Harris wants to use the power of government and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds.
	That is a threat to democracy that will long outlive this present political moment.
	I would like Democrats and Republicans to both reject censorship.
	Let's persuade one another.
	Let's argue about ideas, and then let's come together afterwards.
	You can't yell fire in a crowded theater.
	Fact check, false. That's the test.
	That's the Supreme Court test. Fire in a crowded theater.
	You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for saying that toddlers shouldn't wear masks.
	Senator, the governor does have the floor.
	Fire in a crowded theater.
	That is criticizing the policies of the government.
	So, we actually discussed this not too long ago.
	Oh, yeah. Maybe 300 episodes, maybe 200 episodes ago.
	It was not a Supreme Court decision.
	It wasn't the Supreme Court stance on what you can and can't do.
	It was an opinion in a dissent and actually a dictum non-binding statement from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
	who said, well, you can't do that.
	Then they actually got into discussing it.
	And if you think there's a fire in a crowded theater, you can yell fire.
	You can. There is still free speech.
	There is no Supreme Court decision on yelling fire in a crowded theater or any other venue for that matter.
	I don't understand how they get away with it.
	And I want to... I have one clip here from Bill Gates...
	And what I want to play this clip for is this idea that you can't do this, you can't do that, or there should be rules against it.
	You're seeing it on Bill Maher's show with the various guests.
	You're hearing it left and right, especially from the Democrats, about, you know, there should be restrictions on basically saying there should be restrictions on free speech.
	Which is a joke, if you think about it.
	But they keep pushing it to the point where you hear stuff like this from guys that you think are smart, like Bill Gates.
	We should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries that even the U.S.? Oh, it's time for another pie in the face, Bill.
	You gotta be careful with this. This nonsense.
	I found that to be the most abhorrent thing he's ever said.
	I haven't watched his show yet.
	He has a Netflix series now, but I'm going to have to because I think this comes from that Netflix series.
	Oh, it could be. I'm going to have to watch it now because there may be some good clips.
	Something else that popped up, which is also not properly fact-checked, but I don't have the clip, but Walsh was talking about Finland.
	Finland is so great.
	Finland, nothing. They got guns.
	Nothing ever happens in Finland.
	Finland's fantastic. Well, luckily, we have Wunderhelm, Sir Wunderhelm, who has come back to listening to the show after a multi-year absence.
	And he said, hey, Finland came up in the debate.
	Why did he stop listening in the first place?
	He didn't like our stance on Russia and Ukraine.
	Yeah, you know, because Russia is their neighbor.
	Oh, because we were peaceniks.
	Is that what he thinks? You know, you'd rather have a war going on between these two countries.
	Hey, I'm happy he came back.
	He's giving us another shot.
	I'm happy. It always happens.
	He used to give us free phones, if you recall.
	I know. When he worked at Nokia, then he was really awesome.
	He gave us lots of free gear.
	It was fantastic. Well, we also promoted it.
	We talked about the stuff we got, and the good and the bad.
	He says, well first of all, the rhetoric about Finland, he's a little skewed, we have 5.6
	million people versus, and he looks it up, 333.3 million, he says that is actually the
	number that came rolling out of Google, magic number alert.
	He says, Finland just suffered its first school shooting in over a decade earlier this year.
	Hmm, that wasn't mentioned in the debate.
	So yes, of course, they have guns.
	But the number of murders per capita is much higher than the average European country.
	Mainly, or usually, family members killing each other or drunk friends who are killing each other.
	Well, they drink too much in Finland.
	Bye, Luke.
	Nice having you.
	Well, he has to admit this.
	Everybody, I've been there.
	And one of the things they tell you, they warn you about the fact that there's a bunch, it's like worse than Poland was when they first invented vodka.
	Worse than the Russians and their vodka.
	They drink too much.
	You got to do something in those long, cold winters.
	And what else? You drink too much.
	You get mad. It's because some people, you know, they're angry drunks, angry drunks, angry drunks.
	And we all know we've all run into them.
	There's happy drunks, there's drunks that want to fall asleep all the time, and then there's the angry, mean-spirited drunk.
	They get a little alcohol in them, and boom, you shoot somebody.
	Yes, and boom, you shoot somebody.
	Exactly. So, while we're on the topic, Waltz, of course, had the flub of the evening, which everybody laughed and made memes about.
	The best one. I've become friends with school shooters.
	I've seen it. Look, the NRA. I was the NRA guy for a long time.
	I've become friends with school shooters.
	All right, Waltz. What an idiot. I did have another funny clip from CNN this morning with Casey Hunt.
	Casey! Casey!
	Casey! And she had senior Trump advisor Jason Miller on.
	CNN is really trying to shake it up.
	He's going up against a moron.
	A total moron.
	How she picked him is unbelievable.
	And I think it's a big factor.
	There's something wrong with that guy.
	He's sick. He went into the Michigan game the other day, got booed out.
	I went into the Alabama game.
	The 120,000 people went crazy.
	So Jason, is Tim Walls a moron?
	Okay, wait, stop. Wait, wait.
	I have to at least give a little background on Walls going to the Michigan game.
	Okay. Walls went to the Michigan game and he was representing for the other team.
	For the wrong team, for the Minnesota team.
	Yes. University of Minnesota Gophers.
	Yeah. And so they booed him.
	Of course they did. Yes.
	Yes. Yes.
	And, of course, he flipped somebody off, which was probably bad for him.
	Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, and meanwhile, Trump's going into a game where he's neutral.
	So both sides cheered him.
	I mean, this is specious, just to mention it.
	I just like that Casey Hunt says this.
	The 120,000 people went crazy.
	So, Jason, is Tim Walls a moron?
	I mean, that's a great question.
	I think I found the great question.
	That is the question. That's a great question.
	That's a good one, yes.
	That's a good question. Well, two things can be true at the same time here.
	Again, the Tim Walls that we see on the campaign trail as he's bouncing around and dancing and pointing to Kamala Harris and looking kind of goofy is not the Tim Walls that shows up in debates.
	And Casey, I will tell you, I've watched more debate footage of Tim Walls than anyone should ever be forced to do.
	But what he's going to have an issue is how does he defend his record?
	How does he defend Kamala Harris's record?
	And to be honest, he has to defend Joe Biden's record as well.
	All right. So then he actually said something quite intelligent, which we've been saying here for the past 30 minutes.
	Well, it's not a debate. Let's just be candid.
	I'm sorry, this is Doug Jones.
	Debates in the traditional sense of the word.
	They're just a series of answers and you're going to answer what you want to do.
	You know, look, I think Tim Walz needs to be Tim Walz.
	Talk about what they're going to do for America and the hope and the joy that Tim Walz brings.
	I talk about my old football team that walked out on that stage at the DNC. That was a moment, folks.
	I've got to tell you, that moment spoke to a lot of people across this country.
	Yeah, okay. Are we done with the debates?
	Because I have a very important series of clips here that we need to discuss.
	Important series of clips.
	I think there's one more clip.
	It's probably ancillary.
	Well, is it important?
	I have no idea.
	This is the debate wrap.
	You're just throwing stuff out there?
	No, I have clips.
	I don't put these clips on this list for no good reason.
	All right. Well, you said it's ancillary.
	Here we go. Debate wrap NTD. Yeah, I guess that must be it.
	Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz each praising their own debate performance as they hit the campaign trail today.
	Vance defends his answer to a question on the 2020 election, and Walz touts a tougher stance on China.
	Entities Iris Tao has more from Marne, Michigan, where Vance is holding a campaign event.
	Holding two campaign events in the key battleground state of Michigan today, Senator J.D. Vance praised his own debate performance last night, saying that it went well and that he felt bad for Governor Tim Walz.
	I gotta be honest, I feel a little bad for Governor Walz.
	And the reason I feel bad for him is because he has to defend the indefensible.
	But just hours after the debate, the Harris campaign launched a new ad highlighting Vance's answer to whether Trump lost the 2020 election.
	Did he lose the 2020 election?
	Tim, I'm focused on the future.
	That is a damning non-answer.
	Vance was again asked about it today where he said he's focused on the upcoming election and will keep talking about election integrity.
	Why didn't you answer the question last night during the debate about who won the 2020 presidential election?
	We're going to talk about election integrity because I believe that every vote ought to count, but only the legally cast votes.
	Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz today was campaigning in Pennsylvania.
	Anybody watch the debate last night?
	Not bad for a football coach.
	We had a civil but spirited debate.
	And after seeing last night that he misspoke about having traveled to China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest, Walls told reporters today...
	Yeah, look, I have my dates wrong.
	I was in Hong Kong in China in 1989.
	I will tell you this.
	Xi Jinping is not someone you should look up to.
	Xi Jinping is not someone who you should say does a good job on things, as Donald Trump has said about COVID. Yeah.
	The biggest show on earth, ladies and gentlemen.
	Now, I have one last comment.
	I'm going to ask you this.
	Why was Vance chosen?
	Why was he chosen?
	Who pushed Vance?
	Why did Trump choose Vance?
	I didn't know this completely.
	I think I kind of knew it.
	We may have talked about it.
	But it turned out that we had a...
	I thought it was Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia who pushed him.
	No. It was Donald Trump Jr.
	Oh, you're right. I'm sorry.
	You're right. He was...
	You're absolutely right. But Donald Trump Jr.
	is also hanging out with the PayPal mafia for their world finance platform.
	Yes, but Donald Trump Jr. is good friends with Vince.
	He became good friends. Bearded Buddies.
	Oh, Bearded Buddies. There's your show title.
	Bearded Buddies. And so there's a show title.
	And he...
	He was on Hannity after the fact, and he started explaining how this worked because he says, I don't think so.
	I don't know about that guy. You know, he hated me when he first started off.
	You know, he's different now. And he pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed his dad to pick Vance, and he...
	So Donald Trump Jr. is not the big dummy everybody thinks he is.
	He has some influence.
	He has influence. He does.
	It was worth noting that Donald Trump Jr.
	is not a slouch.
	No, but he's running a shitcoin, so we'll have to see how that goes.
	I mean, he's a slouch.
	Well, it's bad form, very bad form.
	All of these people, probably not Trump, but you never know, must be shaking in their boots, Because as was teased by lawyer of the show, our constitutional lawyer Rob, who did not go to school with him but knows him very well, Tony Busby. Tony Busby, the lawyer from Houston.
	This is good.
	I'm glad you did this. Here's the backgrounder, ABC. New and disturbing accusations against Sean Diddy Combs, a Texas attorney tonight, says he now represents 120 alleged victims, men and women, whose allegations span more than 30 years.
	The accounts of the alleged victims have not been fully vetted, but their accusations involve the kind of drug-fueled alleged sexual assaults described in a dozen civil lawsuits and the criminal case against Combs.
	Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal charges.
	His attorney tonight saying Combs emphatically denies any claim that he sexually abused anyone.
	Alright, so that's a very...
	You're good looking, David Muir, but that was a very short report about what actually went down.
	Tony Busby, must be said, is very successful at what he does.
	Apparently his house is unbelievable.
	So he's...
	I'm just reporting.
	He is also good friends with Donald Trump, which makes it a little bit more interesting.
	I took a couple clips...
	From his press conference, and we start with his opening why he...
	This is about the scope of this lawsuit and the ages and just how big this is and what's really going on with...
	And it's not one, it's 120 lawsuits.
	As I said, our law firms have been retained by 120 individuals at this point.
	To pursue cases in civil court against Sean Diddy Combs.
	You should know, in this group, it is evenly divided between males and females.
	There are 60 males and 60 females who have joined us to pursue these claims as plaintiffs.
	In this group, 62% identify as African American, 30% are white, and the remainder are Hispanic or Asian.
	The victims are from more than 25 states.
	The majority are from California, New York, Georgia, and Florida.
	And I want to focus on the ages of these victims.
	When we talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it's shocking.
	Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was nine years old.
	We have an individual who was 14 years old.
	We have one who was 15.
	25 of the 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complained of.
	Now, I've already seen a couple of trolls posting, no, no, it is not what you think.
	Now, there's been a lot of reports that we're filing a class action.
	This is not a class action.
	Class action is when one or two people file a case on behalf of a group of people.
	That's not this. These cases will be individual cases.
	Each case will live and die on its own merit.
	These cases will be filed individually.
	One plaintiff against whoever the defendants were involved in the case.
	So it's not a class action.
	This guy's going all in.
	He's doing each individual case after carefully vetting every single one of them.
	And the time frame is vast.
	The time frame of the acts complained of is very wide.
	The conduct at issue spans from the years 1991 all the way until this year 2024.
	If you wonder why there are so many alleged victims, that's your answer.
	We're talking about more than 25 years of this type of conduct.
	Now, although most of the victims who have stepped forward were victimized after 2015, this has been going on for a very long time.
	This is so good.
	This is, I mean, now we get into it.
	And he, later on...
	Yes? Just to ask you this, you don't think this is the October surprise?
	It depends, because he doesn't...
	The last clip that I have in a moment is about who, and his relationship to Trump makes me think that this definitely could be.
	For certain, it is going to make a lot of people worried when you hear these final two clips.
	And he goes into some graphic detail, which I did not clip, about what happened to some of these people.
	Predominantly the children.
	It's everything you could imagine.
	But here is the clip about what acts and where they took place.
	The acts complained of in these cases that we're going to file occurred primarily in New York, either Manhattan or the Hamptons, or occurred in California, primarily in Los Angeles, or in Florida, primarily in Miami.
	Most of these events and incidents occurred at parties, typically after parties, or album release parties, New Year's Eve parties, Fourth of July parties, something they called a puppy party, the all-white party, although several of these events occurred at auditions.
	Many times, especially young people, people wanting to break into the industry, were coerced into this type of conduct in the promise of being made a star or in the promise of having Sean Combs listen to their tape or even let them read for Sean Combs.
	You should know that some of this behavior occurred at well-known venues in New York City.
	Some of this behavior occurred at private residences of people that we all know.
	Some of this behavior occurred at hotels that we're all familiar with.
	You should know that more than 55% of the victims filed reports, reported this conduct to either the authorities, that is the police, or to hospitals.
	We're in the process of collecting with our team assistance medical records.
	Reports that were made to the authorities.
	And I've already said that some of the individuals in this group did, in fact, talk to the FBI. So, interesting that we have some trolls saying, oh, no, this is to take down Trump.
	I think you're wrong. This guy is friends with Trump.
	This is not to take down Trump.
	Well, it's just the opposite. Exactly.
	What can a troll think this way? Do they ever listen to this show?
	No, I don't know what they're doing.
	They're on drugs. Speaking of drugs...
	Some of the drugs that took place that were used here, so this is the final clip, and we'll be hearing a lot more from Tony Busby, I'm sure.
	Good name, by the way. Tony Busby in the morning, everybody!
	Z100. It's a good name, Tony Busby.
	It's the Buzz on 95.5.
	Busby, Busby in the morning.
	He's not naming names, but he will soon, and...
	Yeah, this is the part that gets to me.
	Okay. Well, the reason why is he says he's vetting.
	They're vetting every single...
	They can't just come out and make allegations without...
	I think this is a setup...
	No, because no one's ever done that in their life.
	Okay. Well, listen to the last clip and then I'm happy to hear your opinion.
	Many of you came here thinking or hoping or perhaps believing that I may start naming names.
	That day will come, but it won't be today.
	The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs.
	And there's a lot of names. It's a long list already.
	And of course, I already know who some of these individuals are.
	But because of the nature of this case, we're going to make damn sure.
	Damn sure that we're right before we do that.
	But the names that we're going to name, assuming that our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you.
	These are individual cases.
	There are indeed other perpetrators involved.
	They will be revealed when that particular individual case is ready to be filed.
	They already know who they are.
	And I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders.
	That is, those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing.
	And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on.
	They know who they are.
	I call them the facilitators of foul play, willing participants in vile conduct.
	As we identify them, each will be part of this case as defendants.
	These defendants will not only include individuals, but will also include corporate entities who ultimately profited off of this culture and behavior.
	I'm looking at banks, pharmaceutical companies, hotels.
	We know That many of these individuals were paid cash.
	We know that many of these individuals involved, whether they were the ones being assaulted and abused or they're witnessing other people being assaulted and abused and then paid and threatened and told to leave.
	Typically paid ten grand in cash and told to leave.
	We'll see how fast he can get some out.
	But the whole press conference, and he had three different representatives from abuse organizations, and his whole pitch was, if you were involved, come forward now.
	Come forward now because we know who you are.
	And he was talking about Trank being slipped into drinks and people waking up the next day.
	Well, this is the one case that Gloria Allred is doing.
	Mm-hmm. Some woman who was tranked and then bound up and then raped by, supposedly, this allegedly.
	Allegedly, yes. Allegedly by Diddy and one of his, I guess one of his bodyguards or some other guy.
	Yeah. And so she's suing.
	And this took place some time ago, but all reds, no slouch.
	No. And so this is...
	Yeah, this is not going to turn out well, but this has so much of the earmarks of the Epstein material.
	Now, there is supposedly another thing, another aspect of this.
	This guy, by the way, Busby, was on Jesse Walters' show.
	Oh, he was on Waters.
	He was on, and Waters, for some reason, emphasized the fact that record companies are also on this list of bad actors.
	Oh, Clive Davis. Oh, yeah.
	Oh, definitely. Oh, definitely.
	Which is not mentioned in those clips you have.
	Allegedly, definitely. Allegedly.
	He didn't mention Clive Davis, but Clive Davis was the mentor, and if you've watched the Clive Davis documentary on Netflix, you know, after his third wife...
	I said hello. Hello.
	After his third wife, he's like, I think I'm gay.
	Yeah, and I think I like hanging out with the gay guys.
	And he was hanging out with all the hip-hop guys.
	This is not... The gay stuff in hip-hop, particularly around Diddy and Bad Boy Records, has been well known.
	And everyone's like, okay, whatever, they're gay.
	But we didn't know about all this, or at least I didn't, but it was apparently...
	Nobody did. Well, there's been some...
	I mean, if you're in the business or you went to these parties or whatever the case, yeah, you knew them, but nobody in the public, you know, our level of public...
	Well, there was a YouTube show and it was a real hip-hop show and someone sent it to me.
	This is a while back. I have to go and dig it out.
	And the... The hip-hopper who also has her own YouTube.
	They all got their own YouTube channels.
	She was talking about what went on these ditty parties.
	And the mix of drugs that they were using.
	And the baby oil and all this stuff.
	I mean, you can go back to Shirley Temple.
	And just look at any of those old Shirley Temple movies.
	It's disgusting. The sexualization of children in the movies in Hollywood was rampant.
	Is it any different today?
	No! And talk to the kid from the Goonies kid.
	What's his name? Who always did the Michael Jackson impersonation.
	He's always talking about it.
	Yeah. There's a number of child actors that are...
	Corey Feldman. Corey Feldman.
	Feldman, right. Yeah, and he implicates Charlie Sheen.
	There's all kinds of stuff that's been going on.
	But when it gets to minors, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of...
	And there's going to be politicians.
	There's going to be captains of industry.
	There's going to be in here.
	And if it's an October surprise, well, he's getting it started early.
	He's got a couple weeks, but he better hurry up.
	Otherwise, it's no good.
	I don't know what they're going to do, but it's definitely a story worth following.
	I'm on it. Somebody needs to be on it.
	That's my beat. I'm on it.
	I'm on it. Okay, what else?
	Well, I have other things.
	I was taking a break.
	Do you want to do anything here?
	I have a couple. I have a kind of a respite.
	Respite? A thing in the middle.
	I got a Ragovi thing I have to play.
	By the way, it's pronounced We-go-vi.
	What's respite? Is that something that you eat?
	A respite? It's a thing in the middle.
	It's like the Entremont.
	To cleanse your palate.
	It's a little palate cleanser.
	Yes, exactly. And this is a Wegovy ad.
	I had to play this because there's an interesting element to this ad.
	Have you always had trouble losing weight and keeping it off?
	Same.
	Discover the power of WeGoVie.
	In the marginal.
	Overweight.
	WeGoVie shouldn't be used with semaglutide or GLP-1 medicines.
	Listen to this effectated crowing sound we just created thatğ
	Well, isn't Wagovi GLP, isn't that what it is?
	It's semaglutide.
	Yeah. It is semaglutide, and so they're telling you not to use it with itself?
	Yeah, because you could OD on it.
	You can OD if you get too much semaglutide.
	It should not be used with semaglutide, is what they say, and it is semaglutide.
	Yeah. Oh, well.
	So I thought that was odd.
	Oh, boy, that cleansed my palate.
	Ooh. I need a drink of water now.
	And by the way, I always pronounce it semiglutide, but they pronounce it semaglutide, which is interesting in itself, but yeah.
	It sounds more medical.
	2.5 milligrams, I believe.
	It sounds more medical that way, semaglutide.
	Semaglutide. Yes, semaglutide.
	All right, that was it. This is like the ones that say, do not use it if you're allergic to it.
	That's my favorite. Can I do a little bit of big tech stuff?
	Oh, we have big tech stuff today?
	Yeah, we got a little big tech stuff.
	The first one is Marsha Blackburn.
	She's from Tennessee, isn't she?
	Marsha Blackburn? I think she's from Tennessee.
	I don't think she's from Tennessee.
	The Honorable Senator from Tennessee. I think she's from Missouri, isn't she?
	Eh, she's one of those states.
	I'll look it up.
	She is sounding the alarm on Meta and Google.
	Yes, indeed. We have found out that it appears that what they are doing is coordinating and they're listening in on phone conversations and pulling keywords.
	It's called doing a keyword search.
	And then selling that data to advertisers who then, if you're talking about wanting something or going somewhere, all of a sudden you're going to see that ad that pops up.
	It is a privacy invasion.
	Thank you.
	These lawyers and lobbyists and the millions, tens of millions of dollars that these platforms
	spend to fight against this is astounding.
	So it's never gotten across the finish line.
	We've gotten close, but we haven't been able to get it across.
	And until we're able to establish a federally preemptive national privacy standard, you
	are not going to see us be able to rein in this overreach and this data mining and these
	privacy invasions that are carried forward by these big tech platforms every single day.
	When you are online, you are the product.
	So that's a pretty big allegation that they're listening to your phone calls.
	We know they've been listening on those stupid devices.
	Yes. Yes.
	But I guess they just have, you know, if you install the Facebook app or any app from Google, then in the EULA, I'm sure you're just saying, yeah, go ahead.
	And they're listening.
	And, you know. I think you install anything.
	If you look at the laundry list of giveaways you have to do, oh, they have access to your microphone, they have access to your photos, they have access to your contact list.
	A lot of these products, there's no reason in the world they should have access to any of this, but they demand it, and to run the product, you got to say, okay, whatever.
	I have an early phone tip.
	You can't stop this. I have an early phone tip.
	Yes, I got a new phone.
	$63. That's reasonable.
	Yes, it's the CAT, as in Caterpillar, S22. And I'll tell you why I like this phone, because I was on my phone too much.
	I'm just like, I'm on this phone.
	I've got things, alerts going off on my Graphene OS. There's just too much going on.
	I want to have something that gives me my email that is not Gmail, of course.
	I want text messaging.
	And what else did I want?
	The... My Bible app.
	There you go. That's about it.
	That's all I wanted. But what this phone is, it's a flip phone, and it looks very much like, what was the one that had that weird operating system?
	It's an industrial-strength phone.
	It has a big keyboard, almost like for grandma.
	But the screen, which is probably three inches by two inches, it's a version of Android, Android Go.
	So you can kind of customize it with as little as you want.
	And even if you put stuff on there, it's so tiny, the screen.
	And the pop-up keyboard is so small that it's pretty much useless.
	So... You can customize a very minimal phone.
	You don't install any of the Google products.
	T-Mobile immediately, just turning it on, popped up a whole, oh, install these games!
	Yeah, no, T-Mobile.
	So you rip all the T-Mobile stuff off.
	And it's a very affordable, very good phone.
	And it kind of looks cool.
	People are like, oh, is that a flip phone?
	Oh, it's the new Flex, I'm told.
	And it's a good product.
	Other than that's Android, but outside of that, if you just want a phone that does some small things that you need and you don't need anything else, it's good to go.
	That's my tip. You might want to look into one, John.
	You'd love it. I have a good phone.
	Yeah, it's in the desk. No, it's in a drawer downstairs.
	We move onwards to my favorite topic, which is AI. We have an update on ChatGPT and OpenAI.
	It's going to start in the tech world.
	A look at the company behind artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT.
	That's right, Stuart. That company is OpenAI, and it's now one of the world's most valuable startups.
	This, after concluding a fresh round of fundraising which brought in $6.6 billion from a number
	of big investors, including venture capital firm Thrive Capital, Japan's SoftBank and
	Microsoft, to name a few.
	This was one of the largest ever funding rounds for a private company.
	This means the AI darling is now valued at $157 billion, on par with established publicly
	listed companies like Goldman Sachs and Uber.
	That's almost twice as much as it was worth at the beginning of the year.
	There are conditions to this new round of financing though.
	OpenAI has demanded that investors not be allowed to put money into any of its private competitors, like Elon Musk's XAI, for instance.
	And investors will be able to withdraw their money if the company isn't fully converted to a for-profit company within two years.
	So I've been looking at what Wall Street keeps calling the hyperscalers.
	This is an unbelievable expenditure that's taking place for these data centers that everyone thinks is going to be necessary for this artificial intelligence boom that we're supposedly in.
	It's amazing.
	I mean, you talk about, I think there's six nuclear plants, small-medium reactors, all this stuff is being planned, and you look at the flowcharts of all these companies, the picks and shovels of this, and everybody's in on it, but I don't know if they're going to have any customers, because I got this boots on the ground for one of our producers about Epic, EPIC, Epic Medical.
	They're the largest electronic medical records vendor in the industry.
	And so, this is what Larry Ellison was talking about.
	Like, oh, and then you won't have to write a report.
	It'll write a report for you.
	And then it'll contact the pharmacy.
	And then the pharmacy will get your prescription.
	Everything's right. And then it poops out a report for the insurance company.
	Check out the cost structure per, per, okay, cost structure per user, $3,000 per month,
	61 cents per user query request.
	it.
	you How can this be worth it?
	Yeah, you can get some minimum wage person to do this work.
	Easily. Easily.
	So, this is...
	Our boots on the ground producer says the execs are all giddy about it.
	And he says, meanwhile, since it's not...
	People get giddy about techy stuff if it's in and around their kind of business and they can see...
	I've heard these presentations and seen them where somebody can come up and say, look at this, look at this, look at this.
	But traditionally, in tech...
	The most appealing factor is the cost savings.
	Reduction. Yes.
	It's always reduction. It used to cost you this much, and they'll outline it very carefully.
	This is what it costs you to do this now with our product.
	And it's not just half, usually half.
	It has to cut it way down to like a tenth as much.
	And this is like more than.
	It's almost always more than.
	I don't get what the appeal is.
	These people are dumb.
	He says the execs are so giddy that it has anything to do with AI. He says while they're waiting for this to be implemented, we'll see how long that takes, their doctors are buried in this reporting stuff and have started using just chat GPT to write their patient notes.
	Which is a complete violation of HIPAA. You're actually just feeding the models the information about your patients.
	This is out of control.
	This is so stupid.
	But okay, it's keeping Wall Street afloat.
	Everybody's happy, I guess.
	And to drive the point home...
	You're such a Debbie Downer.
	I am a Debbie Downer.
	I am. I was watching another piece on, I think it was PBS, about the secret facility in upstate New York.
	IBM is now working on the real quantum computer.
	It's so groovy.
	The quantum computer is going to do everything with their qubits.
	Qubits are going to make it all happen.
	IBM lies.
	Someone finally did it for you, John.
	What is your test, the Dvorak-Rorschach test of a good search engine or something that will give you results that you...
	Right. You asked the question, what is the best weed whacker you can buy?
	That is the question.
	And 99% of the time you get phony sites that own, you know, the companies that own the weed whacker companies showing you, here's the top 10 weed whackers.
	And theirs is always number one, but they never mention that it's all, it's a scam.
	The whole thing's a scam.
	Well, let's listen to Notebook LM, a deep dive on the best weed whacker.
	All right, so you're ready to tackle those overgrown weeds, huh?
	But like, whoa, picking a weed whacker can feel like a Mission Impossible sometimes, right?
	Yeah. I totally can. There are like a zillion options out there.
	It's easy to get lost in the weeds trying to figure it all out.
	Exactly. So we're diving deep into the world of weed whackers.
	We're going to figure out which brands are the real deal.
	Not just marketing hype.
	Not just marketing hype, John.
	It's for you. This is for you.
	An expert here who can weed out the weaklings, so to speak.
	I like what you did there. And yeah, there's definitely a lot to consider beyond just the brand name.
	Totally. So let's say you're a landscaping pro.
	You're out there every day battling some seriously tough weeds.
	What are the brands you rely on?
	Well, for pure, you know, workhorse reliability, you can't beat still.
	Like, they're known for building these tanks, basically.
	Their engines are something else.
	Big pistons, heavy-duty crankshafts, not your average, you know, flimsy weed whacker.
	Yeah, these are the ones that can handle getting banged around a bit, right?
	Exactly. Landscapers swear by them, especially the FS series.
	Those are legendary. Now, the Steel, S-T-I-H-L-E, I think?
	No, no E. Oh, the Landscaper series, they're legendary.
	Do you agree? Is this the best white weed whagger?
	I don't know. I can't find it out by going on the web and they're just telling me something I'm sure is done by some sort of a scammer.
	Okay, so still got the heavy-duty category covered.
	But what about someone like me?
	I've got a small yard, not exactly a jungle out there.
	Right, so you don't need a monster truck.
	You need something a little more nimble.
	That's where ego comes in.
	They've really nailed the whole battery-powered thing.
	Ooh, battery-powered.
	Tell me more about that. Okay, so they use these lithium-ion batteries, right?
	Oh, man. They pack a punch, plenty of power for a typical yard, but no gas, no fumes, and way lighter than those gas guzzlers.
	That's a game-changer, for real.
	I don't think we're ever going to get a conclusion out of this, John.
	They are not solving the problem.
	Not at all. And it's possible that those products are good.
	I mean, they may be good, but are they the best?
	And there's no way of finding out.
	There's no lab testing all of them.
	Consumer reports that, as far as I know, haven't done anything on weed whackers, and they probably will leave out some of them because they're not complete anymore in their analysis of anything.
	They always leave something out.
	Everybody does. And it's just hopeless.
	It is. And listen to these two jokers.
	Yeah. Okay, speaking of jokers, we have big news.
	It finally happened. There are few smiles in world politics more earnest than Mark Rutters.
	The former Dutch Prime Minister has been well known for his affable public persona, something that served him well for the last 14 years in the Netherlands.
	His next role may require a different approach.
	On Tuesday, Rutte takes over as Secretary General of NATO, which has been led by Norway's Jens Stoltenberg for the last 10 years.
	NATO might be the most successful military alliance in history, but is facing challenges possibly more fundamental than at any other time in the last 75 years.
	Finally, Jens Stoltenberg has handed over the reins to the soy boy of the Netherlands known as Mark Rutte.
	Who used to be in HR at...
	What's the big UK-Dutch firm that does cosmetics and baby lotion?
	I don't know. I mean, I do know, but I can't remember right away.
	Unilever. Unilever.
	Oh, Unilever. He was one of the HR ladies at Unilever.
	So he is now the Secretary General of NATO and I'm very happy because we get to make fun of how he talks!
	Good afternoon! Good afternoon!
	Hello! And I'm glad to see all you here today.
	Yes, it's very good to have you here!
	Brussels has one of the largest international press corps in the world.
	Yes. And I'm looking forward to be working with you.
	All right. First, I want again to express my profound gratitude to Jens Stoltenberg.
	Thank you, Jens. For the tremendous job he has done in the past 10 years.
	Fantastic. Few leaders of this alliance faced a more challenging geopolitical environment.
	It's good. But Jens...
	Steered us through difficult times with a steady hand.
	Very steady hand. He played a big part in making today's NATO stronger than ever.
	And he leaves behind an enduring legacy.
	An enduring legacy.
	By the way, I think it was Ahold, which is Albert Heijn.
	Big shopping concern. Doesn't matter.
	He was with the HR lady.
	So here is the meat of his speech.
	Surprise, surprise. The soy boy is all in on the military-industrial complex.
	I have three priorities.
	Three. Ensure we have the capabilities to protect against any threat.
	Yes, Russia. Support Ukraine in fighting back against Russian aggression.
	Aggression. And...
	Addressing the growing global challenges to Euro-Atlantic security.
	First on our military capabilities.
	Okay. NATO's core mission is to ensure our collective deterrence and defense.
	No, no. Our core mission is to spend money.
	Over the past decade we have made tremendous progress in ensuring we have the forces and capabilities to deter and defend against any threat from any direction.
	Russia. But we must go further.
	Okay. And finally... We need more better equipped forces.
	A more robust transatlantic defence industry.
	Increased defence production.
	Greater investment in innovation.
	And secure supply chains.
	Allies are already stepping up with plans to acquire thousands of air defence and artillery systems.
	Many hundreds of modern aircraft.
	Mostly 5th generation F-35s.
	As well as substantial high-end capabilities.
	What about the money? But to truly match our capabilities with our needs, we need significantly more defense spending.
	Money! And I will work with allies to ensure that we invest enough in the right areas and that we shoulder the burden for our collective defense equitably.
	I'm glad that everyone else is going to be paying more money.
	More money for bombs and stuff.
	And F-35s is great.
	Congratulations, NATO! Well, the last thing Stoltenberg said when he got out and left, he did an interview with that funny-sounding British, semi-British-sounding PBS woman who's been around forever.
	I can't think of her name offhand, but she has a show.
	He sits down with her and he talks about how, you know, one of the main things I wanted to get accomplished is get Ukraine into NATO. And the first thing that this bonehead says, he wants to make sure they get Ukraine into NATO. Yeah, of course.
	Which is the reason that the Russians are all upset.
	Yes. And all you have to do is say no to that.
	No, no, no, no, no. And that war would be over, but nobody wants to do that.
	No, only Trump.
	Can't have debt. Can't have debt.
	Season of reveal? A little season of reveal?
	Seasoning. Not seasoning.
	The season of reveal.
	I thought that was seasoning of reveal.
	No, no, that's a new product I'm working on.
	This is just, that would be tasty.
	This is the season of reveal.
	We'll remember the snowpocalypse.
	Oh man, was it now?
	Five years ago?
	Four years ago? When people died all throughout Texas, we were stuck in our home without electricity for four days, I think.
	And the show deconstructed.
	This was a scam. This was a scam by the energy producers, by ERCOT. It was the old...
	ERCOT is our central exchange, which is literally like a stock exchange of trading energy units back and forth at best price.
	That it was Enron people, old Enron people, didn't die.
	Yeah, Enron people, you get a clue, you stay with it.
	Worked before. Well, there's an expose.
	Those deadly blackouts that we remember and killed hundreds of people during the 2021 winter storm may have been an inside job.
	A new lawsuit alleges energy companies created an artificial natural gas shortage.
	KXAN's Tom Miller talked to The Hill reporter Saul Elbine about the other claims made in that lawsuit.
	246 people died in the 2021 winter storm.
	There were freezing temperatures. There were blackouts.
	And now there's an allegation from this pipeline analytics company that says this was pre-planned.
	And that's pretty startling.
	Yeah, so now we need to be careful when we talk about pre-planned.
	So what it comes down to is supply and demand.
	The allegations are that in the weeks before the storm, and particularly in the days before the storm, several dozen of Texas' biggest oil and gas and pipeline companies started restricting the supply of natural gas to their power plant customers, effectively strangling them of the fuel they needed to run the grid.
	And then, as the grid started to go wobbly, and the power plants panicked, and the state government panicked, Pretty much what we said is exactly what happened.
	They left people out in the cold and remember the prices?
	Remember, the prices were like $7,000 a kilowatt hour.
	It was high. It was high.
	And so now, can we claw back any of that money?
	Publicly, there was this defense that the grid was not winterized.
	And the lawsuit says that that's actually pretty misleading.
	Yeah, so the head of Circles Access Pipeline Company says a 2-inch pipeline, a 2-inch pipeline can freeze.
	A 20-inch pipeline in a state that gets freezes not infrequently, that's a little bit more suspicious.
	The defendants are these gas companies, pipeline companies, banks.
	What are they saying? They were in court to say, we need to throw this case out.
	And at this stage in the game, what that looks like is you essentially say, let's say everything you're saying is true.
	We did the crime of the century.
	It doesn't matter because we're in the wrong jurisdiction or you're wrong on some key point of law.
	And in this case, the reason that they're saying that plaintiffs are wrong is, you'll remember, people were pretty mad just after winter storm Uri.
	And the legislature heard how mad you were, and it created a state payment plan to pay off that huge debt.
	And they created a procedure to go through to make sure that those bills were fair.
	And so the defendants essentially said, look, the time to bring this up was then.
	It's too late now. Scam.
	Massive scam. No one will go to jail.
	Nothing's going to happen. This is on KXAN Austin.
	No one cares about them. Little local station.
	Yeah, we've gone through it here.
	Yes. When Gray Davis was the governor.
	Well, you went through it. He came with the scams.
	Oh, we have to have gray outs, brown outs, black outs.
	You remember you had the phone calls of Enron guys?
	Yeah, cut the electricity.
	Cut it. Cut it. Black them out.
	Yeah. The only thing that happened, they did end up recalling the guy, and Schwarzenegger became the governor.
	Yeah. Of course, he didn't do much, but it was at least something.
	I've pushed all donations back till the end of the show, John.
	You probably noticed. Since it's going to be long, I figure we do everything in one go, because we've got a lot of Commodores.
	Okay. You disagree?
	It's gonna take about a half an hour to go through all the donations.
	That's why I figured, you know, we get all the news out of the way and then we thank everybody.
	You know, it's a happy day.
	Hello? No, that's not what I was expecting.
	Really? Well, since you want to do that, I don't really have a problem.
	I have a 3x3 that was sent in.
	And now it's time for 3x3.
	Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
	I'm sorry. I guess I should have cleared it with you.
	I figured you'd be okay with that.
	I just looked at the list.
	I'm like, we should just do this all at the end.
	I thought when it was long, that's why we wanted to break it up.
	No, no, but this is too long because it's all top heavy.
	So, both sides, there's a lot of people.
	But we're going to talk about the Iranian missile barrage, which is like, I think we may have predicted it was not going to amount to much.
	I think we literally said fireworks.
	And here we go with our reporting.
	You know, I'm going to move CBS up on this because I think that they've lost their...
	Their mojo? Well, no, it's like we always thought of the CIA, but after watching the debate and some of these lunatics that are there at CBS, I don't know if the CIA is really doing much there.
	Yeah. So let's start with them.
	From the White House Situation Room, President Biden and Vice President Harris monitored Iran's attack on Israel with their national security team.
	Tonight, the president says Iran failed its mission.
	The attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective.
	And this is testament to Israeli military capability and U.S. military.
	And he vowed to help Israel defend itself.
	Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.
	The U.S. has more than 40,000 troops and aircraft squadrons spread across the Middle East along with 12 warships in the region.
	Another one is on its way.
	Today, two of the Navy destroyers fired roughly a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles.
	We will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend U.S. forces and interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.
	And we will continue to work with our allies and partners to disrupt Iran's aggressive behavior and hold them accountable.
	Former President Trump claimed Biden and Harris are leading the U.S. to the brink of a wider war.
	Iran has been exporting terror all over the world, and it's been just unraveling.
	The whole Middle East has been unraveling, but of course the whole world has been unraveling since we left office.
	Tonight, the White House insists Iran will face, quote, severe consequences for that missile attack.
	President Biden said what those are remains to be seen.
	He has not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu since the strike, but says he plans to.
	What I'm missing that report from CBS, they didn't use the phrase ballistic missiles.
	I heard that over. Some people use ICBMs, which I thought was interesting.
	Which, I don't know if they, were they, they're not intercontinental ballistic missiles, are they?
	Well, it's intercontinental.
	Was it between continents?
	No, it's on the same. No, it wasn't, well, it's on the same continent.
	Well, I have to mention the one thing, the, you have to, before I get to the next two clips, this is the only, the one guy was, you know, they sent out 200 missiles and one guy's dead.
	And here's the irony.
	Read this. Oh, is this the Palestinian?
	Yeah, Israel ran, iron, dead guy, PBS Israel.
	Hold on, I'm sorry. Israel says ran, but it means I ran.
	Oh yeah, I got it.
	I saw the video of this.
	Another Gazan laid to rest today, 38-year-old Sameh al-Asali, a resident of the occupied West Bank, and the only person known killed by Iran's massive missile attack.
	Did you see the video of that?
	No. Oh! So it's like a security camera footage on the building, and you see the guy, he's the only guy on the street, and this massive, you know, the thrust part, just this, you know, this shell from this ballistic missile falls right on top of him.
	And he just, like, chops him in half.
	I'm glad I didn't see it.
	It's the worst day record video of the year.
	Imagine just walking out by yourself and boom, this thing falls right on your head.
	It was unbelievable. Well, he's the only guy.
	So let's go with ABC. We know the U.S. was actively involved in intercepting these missiles today.
	Absolutely. Helping Israel defend itself.
	They had two destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean.
	They launched missiles to intercept 12 of those Iranian missiles.
	We're not sure how many were intercepted, but certainly some of them.
	You know, on those ships, it's like a bullet hitting a bullet, a missile hitting a missile to protect Israel.
	Extraordinary precision involved.
	In the meantime, Martha, I know you've been talking with your sources today.
	How concerned is the U.S. of the potential of a wider regional war here?
	And could Israel, now vowing to retaliate, could Israel target Iran's nuclear sites?
	Well, at this point, David, my sources tell me they don't really know what Israel is going to do.
	They're waiting. They will probably get something.
	Some sort of heads up before they respond, but they are worried about how broad a response.
	I don't think they're concerned at this point that they will hit nuclear sites, but it is certainly possible.
	But given the fact that it was not major damage, they're hoping that Israel tamps it down.
	Isn't this just exactly the same as the last time?
	Yeah. Didn't Norris say...
	Yeah, I think in the debate there was one week away.
	One or two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.
	Which we've been hearing for at least, I don't know how far back this goes.
	Five years maybe? I don't know.
	Forever. At least.
	Yes, Obama years.
	Definitely. All right, so let's finish with the NBC, our Comcast operation.
	President Biden tonight declaring Iran's major assault on Israel a failure.
	The attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective.
	The president crediting the U.S.'s extensive planning anticipating today's attack and working alongside its close ally Israel.
	Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.
	Earlier, President Biden with Vice President Harris monitoring the attack alongside their national security team from the Situation Room.
	The White House says Iran did not give any advance notice of today's missile barrage.
	That comes as the Biden administration's months-long effort to prevent a larger war in the Middle East is now facing its toughest test yet.
	The President tonight saying it remains to be seen what the consequences for Iran will be.
	The Vice President also condemning the Iranian attack.
	Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East, and today's attack on Israel only further demonstrates that fact.
	Still, former President Trump campaigning in Wisconsin argues on the administration's watch, the world is spiraling out of control.
	Trump said something else, which I thought was rather interesting, which kind of fits into our general theory that many of the main guys in Iran may already be dead, that there's been this systematic elimination of surgical precision, either through bombs or missiles through the window or pagers exploding.
	And here's what Trump said.
	This has really been bad.
	They have to finish that process.
	However it turns out, they have to finish the process.
	This is a little bit like two kids fighting in a schoolyard.
	Sometimes you have to just sort of let it go a little bit, and we'll see what happens.
	That's a far cry from the brink of destruction.
	Yeah, this whole thing is suspicious.
	And until I see any evidence to the contrary, even though you're always going out on a limb when you say, well, this whole thing's theater and bullcrap, which is what we've said.
	Yes. When you send 200 missiles over and you can't kill anybody but some poor hapless Palestinian that happens to be walking home in the West Bank.
	It didn't even get hit by the warhead.
	It was hit by the empty shell.
	Just dropped on him.
	It's like, I don't know.
	This doesn't make any sense at all.
	If you targeted 200 missiles all on, and like they said, a bullet, a bullet, come on.
	This harkens back to the old days of the SCUD. Remember the SCUD missile attacks?
	The SCUD stud, where's he?
	We need him again. Yeah, the SCUDs.
	Yeah, that was good.
	Did they still use those Scuds?
	Did we offload those onto Ukraine?
	No, I think the Scuds have been upgraded. Did we send them to Ukraine here and have some Scuds?
	Well, they weren't ours. It was a Russian missile, but it was a Scud.
	Oh, that's right. We had the Patriots against the Scud.
	Yeah, the Patriots, which are useless, too.
	Did you see Netanyahu talk to the people of Iran?
	Yeah, I did.
	What'd you think? Well, he's speaking in English.
	He's talking to us to make some point or other.
	Well, the point I got from him was regime change.
	Yeah, that's what it was all about.
	The whole speech was about, you know, this will be fine.
	It'll blow over. You'll get rid of these guys.
	We love you. No, he was saying, we love you guys.
	We love you guys. We love you.
	Iran, we love you guys.
	We want to be friends with you.
	We'll be peaceful and prosperous.
	I think he's trying to trigger the next green revolution or whatever it is.
	Not that he's going to trigger it with that speech.
	Color revolution is the word you're looking for.
	But it was green specifically in Iran, I think.
	I think their color was green.
	I don't remember the color.
	I thought it was something else, but...
	Yeah, that would be nice.
	Whether you can pull that off or not, I'm not sure.
	Did you hear something? I don't have a clip here.
	I should bring it on Sunday.
	Julian Assange's soliloquy about how they...
	I saw a little bit of it.
	A little bit of it. Oh, I have the whole thing.
	It was hard to get because it keeps being pulled.
	But I think it's bullcrap.
	Tell me. Well, he's talking about the CIA, mainly Pompeo and Barr, had a scheme to have him killed when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy.
	And the more I think about it, it's like if they had a scheme to kill him, he would be dead.
	He would be dead. He would be dead.
	I don't think the CIA, I'm not a member, I don't get paid by them, I don't get a check.
	I think we get checks occasionally for the show.
	We need more. We'll take cash.
	We need more. You can use Stripe, it's all good.
	Stripe works. I just don't think they're in the...
	I think there was maybe a scenario threat that was given to him to scare him, maybe.
	But I just don't think they're in the business of killing journalists left and right under any circumstance, especially this guy who is a valuable asset.
	Yeah. And like you said, and I would agree, they could have taken him out because he was going on the balcony every day and giving speeches.
	For a while. He could have been taken out by a sniper 600 yards away.
	They would have never caught him. Yeah.
	There's a million things that could have happened, but no.
	2009 was the Iranian green movement.
	It was green. Okay.
	It was green. It was green.
	It didn't work too well, the green movement.
	No, because they weren't backed up by Obama to pull the plug out.
	That's right. He didn't do it right.
	The Netanyahu thing, and it's like three minutes, and we don't have to play it, obviously.
	But when I was listening to him, I'm like, you know, this sounds like, you know, he's just saying, oh, it's the mullahs, it's those guys, your leadership is no good.
	Bastards. Yeah, take them out.
	And we need to hear from our dude named Muhammad.
	Have you seen, well, yeah, a lot of dudes named Muhammad.
	Did you see the clips that are going around about the, in Iran, the latest kind of TikTok thing going on?
	No. Oh, so this, I didn't retweet it, I don't think.
	I might have, but it's about four minutes of just one guy after another knocking turbans off the heads of all these moolahs.
	What? Yeah, teenage punks.
	That seems like a bad idea.
	Well, they're doing it by the hundreds because they just showed it over and over.
	One after another, these kids would go by on a bicycle and knock the hat off.
	Oh, well, there you go. There's your next green revolution.
	It's the hat-tipping revolution.
	They are knocking hats off of these guys left and right, and there's always somebody filming it.
	And there is, like, we're talking about tens, there could be hundreds of these guys getting their hats on, and they get all angry and shake their fists.
	Well, of course. But all these, by the way, these moles are wearing these long garbs, and these kids are wearing jeans, so the kids run off.
	So they're running, they're running away. They're trooping over their dress.
	And these guys, you can't get up to speed because of their outfits.
	I'm telling you, do they have a name for it?
	There must be some kind of...
	They've got to have a name for this action.
	I don't know what to name for it.
	There has to be, you're right.
	But it seems to be some sort of a trend.
	Let me see. Knocking turbans off in Iran.
	Let's see. Turban tossing!
	There it is! Yes, that's what it's called, right?
	Turban tossing. Turban tossing!
	We have a revolution!
	It's the turban tossing revolution!
	I love it. That could be it.
	You humiliate them.
	You humiliate them. By knocking, by tossing their turbans off.
	And then we'll unseat them.
	Yeah. Well, anything's possible.
	Have you been following this thorium stuff?
	Thorium reactors?
	And stuff? Thorium reactors.
	Yeah, they've been around for a while.
	Do they work? Is that for real?
	Yeah, they work fine. They work good.
	They work well. I'm sorry.
	Yeah. I think that's what Gates is doing.
	I think he's doing these thorium reactors.
	I think he's doing liquid salt stuff.
	Wasn't it thorium salt, I think?
	Isn't that the... No, thorium is not salt.
	Oh. I mean, I may be using the salt in the thorium reactor, but it's not thorium.
	We used to have thorium at the lab when I was working at Union Oil.
	And there was always a jar of thorium.
	It was surrounded by...
	What is it used for?
	It's used for some tests that I never did.
	And I always had it surrounded by lead.
	It was in the shelf with all the other dangerous products.
	And it was always interesting because we had a Geiger counter so you could take the top off and get the Geiger counter reading.
	Wow, that stuff is pretty nasty.
	I've been looking at all these different companies that are building thorium reactors.
	And, you know, the cost is almost zero and it takes like 18 months to get a reactor set up.
	This could change a lot of stuff.
	Well, there is a move, I think, a move back to nuclear.
	And I think that molten salt, thorium, these sorts of things are going to be in play.
	I mean, listen to this. Great British nuclear unveils SMR shortlist.
	Wyoming, Bill Gates moves ahead with nuclear project aimed at revolutionizing power generation.
	Project Pele microreactor breaks ground.
	U.S. closes $1.52 billion loan to resurrect Michigan nuclear plant.
	It's everywhere. And it's all for AI, of course, for the data centers.
	Well, I think that's the front.
	It must be a front.
	You say, well, we're going to have to have this because, I mean, people push back on nuclear and you create this front of AI and then AI flops.
	They say, well, we've got to turn this loose to the public gets this energy now.
	And boom, you've got your energy prices dropping back down to where they should be.
	Well, it would go really low.
	Let's hope so.
	Yeah. I mean, you could change the world.
	You could actually change the world.
	Not with this solar and wind stuff, but this thorium.
	I mean, one little marble-sized ball of thorium would be enough for all your energy needs for the rest of your life.
	Well, that's the sales pitch.
	That's the pitch. That's a good one.
	Yeah. Austria?
	Following on Germany?
	Following on France?
	Following on arguably the United States?
	The far right! The far right!
	Some branding anti-Nazi banners, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Vienna Parliament building after Sunday's general election, which saw the far right Freedom Party secure an unprecedented victory.
	That means social It is definitely a shift to the right in Austria and throughout Europe, and that we are losing our free country and our free life.
	We want to live a communal life, be united and live peacefully.
	That's where in Austria, some have welcomed the FPOs win.
	I expected the FPU to come first one day, but not today.
	Yes, it's definitely a good thing.
	Taking the reins of the party in 2021, Herbert Kickl has tapped into concerns about immigration in Austria and has capitalized on anger at the government's response to the Covid pandemic.
	His party is critical of Islam and it's pushing for tougher laws on asylum seekers.
	Kickl is also against giving aid to Ukraine.
	He wants sanctions against Russia to be lifted, arguing that they harm Austria more than Moscow.
	Only the conservative Austrian People's Party, the OVP, has offered any suggestion it could work with the FPO, but has insisted it is unwilling to do so with Kickel.
	If Kickel fails to ally with another party, this could end the FPO's aspirations to govern and enable a coalition of more moderate parties.
	It's interesting how this has happened in every country in Europe.
	The Netherlands, France, Germany.
	The people vote, and they say, well, it's far right.
	The people vote for a party that's against replacement migration, which is the plan.
	They're against climate change nonsense.
	They're against all of this stuff.
	And then the great, wonderful democracy, the parliamentary system, they all gang up and go, nah.
	No, we're not going to do a coalition with you.
	Pound sand what the people want.
	Yes. This seems to be a theme.
	I don't understand it, but how people put up with it.
	But it turns out somebody discovered that they put up with it.
	So let's keep doing it.
	Yeah. And if you listen to this report about a white supremacist gang...
	Who were arrested.
	You know, there's really no white supremacy going on with this gang.
	They were doing illegal stuff, but it's billed as white supremacists!
	The LAPD, FBI, DEA, and other law enforcement agencies announced today that they've taken down dozens of members of the notorious white supremacist gang, the Peckerwoods.
	The gang is based out of the San Fernando Valley.
	If I was going to start a white supremacist gang, I don't think the Peckerwoods would be my name, the first name.
	Who did you get this report?
	ABC LA. The Peckerwoods.
	29 federal arrest warrants were served this morning.
	68 members of the gang were indicted on charges ranging from gun violations to identity theft.
	It appears, however, that the business of hate was not enough for them.
	Hey, stop. What is the business of hate?
	Exactly. Is there a business model?
	Do you have to pay taxes?
	I mean, what is the business of hate?
	It's Peckerwood's LLC. We're in the business of hate.
	How much hate would you like from me today?
	That the business of hate was not enough for them.
	Their criminal activity took on different forms.
	Driven by greed, as alleged today, they engaged in drug distribution and Multiple fraud schemes and firearms offenses.
	42 of the 68 gang members indicted are now in custody.
	The remaining 26 are fugitives.
	The Peckerwoods, according to federal law enforcement, have aligned themselves with the Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia prison gangs.
	How can you be white supremacist if you're working with Mexicans?
	Mexican Mafia doesn't make sense.
	Imagine the secret handshake the Pecker Woods have.
	What we wanted to do through this investigation was neutralize this threat as quickly as possible.
	So as I said, we're not going to wait around for a tragedy to occur.
	We're going to take action right away.
	And in order to do that, we use every tool in our federal toolbox to address that.
	In our toolbox.
	This is such nonsense. I think that handshake involves a hot dog in some funny way.
	You got anything else you want to get off your chest before we induct some Commodores?
	I have a couple, just two quickies.
	The quickie quickie is Mayor Adams' update.
	Ah, yes, the mayor!
	Federal prosecutors say they could bring additional charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and indict others.
	Adams appeared in court today after his Friday arraignment.
	According to the indictment, the mayor accepted about $100,000 worth of free or discounted goods
	and services. Prosecutors say those included international flights, hotel stays, meals,
	and entertainment from foreign interests. The allegations spanned nearly a decade.
	Adams' attorney requested a March trial date, an important ballot deadline for next June's
	mayoral election. Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten told Judge Dale Ho that prosecutors will
	likely seek a superseding indictment against the mayor.
	Scotton also indicated that additional defendants could be charged.
	Adams has pleaded not guilty.
	Would you send me the email that this Jumanji guy would be the replacement mayor?
	Yes. A real lefty.
	He was like a commie?
	Like a commie lefty? Yeah, he's basically a communist.
	Oh man, New York.
	They're so screwed. I'd have to say yes.
	So I do have, just the final clips, since we're going to go into a long thing, it's going to take forever.
	I have to play this because this just started this week and it was one of my reasons for dropping CBS as the CIA front.
	Oh. A new show began this week, because to compete with Kathy, I guess, and her husband, or Kathy Lee, or whatever her name is, or Jenny, or I don't remember her name, but the CBS Mornings, the competitive morning show, third hour.
	Oh, yes, Kathy Lee is in the third hour of the show.
	So they get your third hour.
	It goes up against Hoda.
	Hoda. And Ginny, whatever their name is.
	I can't keep it. The drinkers.
	The drinkers.
	The drinkers show. Yes.
	I have two clips.
	Okay. They're just to show you that these people, they found two people.
	One of them is sweet.
	I mean, she seems okay.
	Mm-hmm. What is her name?
	She's Adriana Diaz.
	She's nice, but she's like, I don't know if she's got any brains.
	And Tony Dulkapul, this other guy, CBS just fired guys that fired a whole bunch of people because of Paramount's new ownership.
	They fired like...
	Jeff Glor, who's a terrific character.
	He should have stayed with CBS. No, they fire him and they're using Tony.
	And these two people, let's put two people in front of the public that really don't know a lot about anything.
	Yeah, excellent. So let's listen to this.
	Here they have, they're going to discuss how...
	About airfoils because neither one of them can understand how airplanes work.
	Okay. Every day about 45,000 planes take off and stay up there in the air by magic it would seem.
	Do you know how they stay up there?
	I sure don't, but it turns out scientists, they're not sure either.
	Tony, you've been talking about this for freaking months.
	Since I was this high. Do you know that we don't know how planes fly?
	I've been talking about this literally since my head was low enough to not hit it on the table right here.
	Since I was a child, this is wondrous and amazing, but carry on.
	Okay, well, I can't hear this anymore.
	So we brought in Samantha Calandrelli, who was an expert in all things aerospace.
	Emily, I'm so sorry, I don't know where Samantha came from.
	But you are here to clear things up for Tony, or maybe not clear things up.
	Yes. Well, I will say, flight is beautifully complex, and there is no one single theory that can explain it perfectly all at once.
	But there are two that give you most of the idea, but there's still a mystery about one of them.
	So the first part of the explainers, we have two.
	The first one is Bernoulli's Principle.
	And Bernoulli's principle is something that tells you about what happens when air moves fast, okay?
	Because when you have a wing, because of the airfoil and the way it's moving through the air, you have fast-moving air that goes over the wing.
	Wait, what is airfoil? Oh, my God.
	They should make him drink.
	This is no good.
	And they bring in this expert who talks about Bernoulli's.
	She's talking about Bernoulli.
	Bernoulli, like it's a sauce.
	We have the wonderful new Bernoulli sauce on our fillet mignon.
	Curiously, at the end of this, this is a long exposition, these people go, oh, really?
	And the whole thing goes on and she finally pronounces Bernoulli correctly at the end.
	What is an airfoil?
	I don't know. I don't understand how airplanes work.
	I had to cut it off there because it was like, okay, well, there you go.
	You don't even know what an airfoil is.
	Why are you getting paid a ton of money to do a morning show?
	Now, I have one other clip from the same show.
	This was introduced this week on Monday.
	And it turns out that this Tony guy has really got some issues, some family issues that come out in this kind of just a dumb discussion.
	And all of a sudden we hear him start to complain about his dad.
	Here we go. Let's get back to it.
	You have the biggest heart of anybody.
	I don't know if you will ever understand how much you impacted my life.
	Wow. I'm so honored.
	I'm sorry it took so long to find you.
	I love this story, y'all.
	I'm telling you. So here is my takeaway from that.
	There is both healing and joy from acknowledging those in our lives who were there for us and showed up during our darkest times.
	So I pose to the both of you.
	Is there somebody in your life that you would like to go back and thank?
	I would think my kindergarten teacher, Ms.
	DeRocca, I loved her.
	I loved her like family.
	She used to call me Bambina, which is like, I think, little girl.
	What does it mean, Patti, Bambina? Little girl in Italian.
	So she always made me feel so special.
	Man, I misunderstood the assignment.
	I was gonna say my dad, who I went back not to thank, but to say, no thanks.
	Thanks for nothing. Why'd you But it was actually well worth it.
	I also think a lot of people are alienated from family members.
	Reconnecting, finding what you missed, and then getting what you need to go forward is also really important.
	David Begnau, I love your stories.
	I will get the assignment right next time, and I'll see you again on the following Monday.
	Best segment title ever. Love you guys.
	Begnau's America. He sure does.
	You can catch David's full story on our CBS Mornings YouTube channel.
	What was that?
	You tell me.
	I misunderstood the assignment.
	I was going to sit here and rage about my dad who left me when I was a kid.
	Oh, no. And I wanted to thank him for doing it.
	What? What is wrong with these people at CBS? Well, you nailed it.
	It got taken over by Apollo.
	Apollo purchased Paramount.
	Apollo is Larry Ellison's kid.
	And they immediately cut everything and threw out the good people.
	And they bring in what they think is entertainment.
	And they clearly need some work on it.
	Who wants an airfoil? I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Yeah. Yeah, what are you drinking?
	I heard you crack one. Topo Chico.
	Ah, you'll be burping throughout the whole segment.
	I'll be burping within a minute.
	So, this is episode 1700.
	We have a special promotion to become a Commodore.
	And a lot of people...
	Go ahead. I was going to say, and we should mention that the next show is 1701, which is the Star Trek Enterprise number.
	Yes, I have all kinds of Star Trek effects.
	And so we want to continue this Commodore promotion through that, and you can become Captain Kirk or whatever you want to be a Commodore.
	And the actual certificate for Commodore is very pretty.
	It has a seal and a ribbon and everything, and you can name yourself whatever Commodore you want.
	Frameable. It's very frameable.
	Someone told me that the Church of Scientology has Commodores.
	I didn't know that. Yeah.
	But I want to tell people, because there's a guy who came in, well, you know, here's what I want to be, Commodore this and that.
	No, you have to go to the Rings site.
	Noagendarings.com. Okay.
	Because Jay says, look, I'm not going to take these different and then misspell someone's name.
	You put it in there.
	There's a form to fill out.
	She loves these forms.
	Yes, she's a former. She's a former.
	Not a latter, a former.
	No, she's a very former. So go to the website, No Agenda Rings, and fill out your Commodore form.
	Yes. So we have a number of Commodores, we have a number of notes.
	If you had missed it, this is the No Agenda show, which runs value for value.
	I checked earlier, we had 2,090 trolls in the troll room, which you're going to say is low.
	Not for Thursday. It's good for Thursday.
	Well, you know, that's why there was so much going on.
	$18.50 is the average for Thursday.
	Well, good. We've got extra trolls here.
	That's good. We should probably count.
	Well, we already counted them. See, I'm all out of whack now.
	You can join them by joining the troll room at trollroom.io.
	And... Of course, using a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.
	You get alerted when it's time.
	And this is all part of my award because I'm an influencer in podcasting.
	Yeah. So we run it on Value for Value and we love doing these near the end of the year.
	This is... This is actually special because episode 1700.
	Our 17th anniversary is coming up this month.
	Four more years. We'll keep going for you.
	Our fifth presidential cycle.
	And it's all value for value, which means you return to the show whatever you get out of it.
	Just send it back.
	Any value, any amount.
	We always like to read our executive and associate executive producers.
	It's $200 and above your associate executive producer.
	Real title that you can use anywhere.
	Credits are recognized, including imdb.com.
	$300 and above, you become an executive producer.
	Before we do that, we want to thank some of our time and talent producers, of which we have many throughout the years have done many things, including that very troll room, the servers, the noagendashow.net, noagendameetups.com, noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And we want to thank our artists for episode 1699.
	And that was from Dame Kenny Ben, back on the stick.
	And she brought us the No Agenda dog flower.
	Which we thought was very cute.
	Yeah, it's funny. And let's see, there were some other things that we looked at.
	There was a lot of bug things.
	Yeah, I'm scrolling down.
	Like to eat more beef from Clip Custodian.
	I wanted to discuss, to take off on the cow that says eat more beef and he's got a sign that he holds up.
	To eat more beef is too small, it's not misspelled enough.
	Yeah. There's issues with it, so that was rejected.
	Although it was in the running for a moment, for just a moment.
	It was disgust. Just a moment.
	Food of the future from Darren O'Neill.
	I thought comics for bloggers bug on a fork was funny, but it was obviously lewd because the fork goes right up his butt.
	Yeah, it's not good.
	No. That'll end with the P. Diddy stuff.
	Yeah, I guess so. Food of the Future.
	No, I think that was kind of it.
	Dame Kenny, Ben, you took it.
	It was good. No, Art Generator, where you can see all of the artwork that is submitted.
	Of course, if you're using one of those modern podcast apps, Dreb Scott always uses other pieces for the chapter art.
	It's fun. It's fun to listen and look along as those images change right before your very eyes.
	Now let us thank our producers.
	Some of them, many of them actually become Commodores.
	Some nights we have some title changes and we'll start off with Brennan Keller.
	And Brennan Keller is in Perrysburg, Ohio.
	$1,005, which is very generous indeed.
	ITM gents, I'm a recent listener of the show.
	I went down a rabbit hole after trying to figure out what the hell Kevin Rose was doing these days.
	Okay, things I don't think of.
	Wait a minute, we know what he's doing.
	Ketamine. Yeah, he's doing ketamine videos.
	I watched too much tech TV as a kid.
	I watched a video where he was talking to another old host of the screensavers who brought up the legendary John C. Dvorak, someone I enjoyed watching after school back in the day.
	I started searching and found the greatest podcast in the universe.
	This is proof that John doesn't need to do interviews to get attention to the show.
	That's true. Anyway, I want to split this contribution in two, alright?
	One, to earn a Commodore title myself, Commodore Brennan of the Glass City, and also for Commodore Bubba of the Maumee Valley, as it was his birthday last week.
	And this show is now our...
	Oh, and he was the first person I told about how awesome this show is, and now our messages are 90% about the show.
	Well, it does happen. I would love a de-douching for both of us.
	You've been de-douched.
	For time restraints, you'll have to use both of that.
	And baby-making karma for myself.
	You got it, no problem.
	You've got... All right.
	Sir Mike and Dame Becky, hey.
	ITM gents, please accept this donation.
	They came in with $1,000.
	Nice. This donation for Becky and I to both become Commodores of Gitmo Nation.
	Question. How do we declare ourselves?
	NoGenderRings.com. Go to their website.
	And fill out the form.
	I'm thinking Commodore Sir Mike Baronet of the Great Katie Prairie and Commodore Dame Becky Baronetess of the Great Katie Prairie.
	Prairie. Prairie.
	Prairie. Prairie.
	Don't want no jingles, no karma, but would love to hear no jingles, no karma.
	Thank you both for the best podcast in the universe.
	May you not find an exit strategy in our lifetimes.
	Commodore Sir Mike and Commodore Dame Becky.
	Anonymous, Charlotte, North Carolina.

	Fellas, thank you for keeping my amygdala appropriately sized for the last seven years.
	Please de-douche. You've been de-douched.
	Keep up the solid work.
	Can I get an F cancer from my mom?
	as well if you please.
	You've got karma.
	Oh Sir Jack Ash in Snohomish, Washington, 533.
	What about Cervente? No.
	I'm sorry. There's a big, my spreadsheet's scrolling like yours these days.
	Cervente Neral in Slidell, Louisiana.
	There we go. It's Slidell, isn't it?
	Slidell? Yeah, like Rydell, the helmet?
	Slidell? Louisiana, 543.21.
	Cervente Neral here, upgrading to Commodore Cervente Neral.
	Thank you for all your knowledge and realism.
	Financial karma for all.
	That's a good one.
	You've got karma.
	Everybody could use some. Now we go to Sir Jack Ash.
	Get it? Jack Ash?
	Yep. Sonomish, Washington.
	53333. Couldn't pass up such cost-effective way to promote two pay grades and become a Commodore.
	Thanks again, gents, very respectfully, Sir Jack Ash.
	P.S. Commodore is still very much used in modern times as a Navy captain.
	06 in charge of many ships.
	It's a real deal. Then we move to Sir Hoos Kadaver in Dorn in the Netherlands, 530.33.
	He says, congrats, congrats!
	Congrats! Congrats with 1700 episodes, minestrone, and so much more to come.
	On a stunning road tour through Hertfordshire, Pembrokeshire, and Snedonia in Wales, together with my smoking hot fiancé, Dame Beanboost, listening to No Agenda Podcast, the best podcast in the entire universe, it is now time to give some value back.
	Yes, thank you. I wanted to originally set up an NA meetup in Wales to get some Welsh hit in the mouth.
	No better place than...
	And then he has the name of this place, which is unpronounceable.
	It's about 30 characters and most of them syllables.
	Yeah, classic Welsh. It's Lenin Affair on Anglacy, but almost impossible to pronounce for Dutch or English speakers, so didn't happen.
	By the way, means parish of the Holy Mary in the Valley of the White Hazel at the Rapid Maelstrom and the parish of the Holy Tisilio at the Red Cave.
	I'm glad for that information.
	You wonder why the Welsh language never really took off.
	You know what my instructor said in the UK when he was teaching me how to fly?
	He said, whatever happens, even if your engine is on fire, you do not land in Wales.
	With my No Agenda Commodore donation, I will reach Baron status, and if the Nobility Committee pleases, I want the title Baron Commodore of the Province of Utrecht.
	Go to NoAgendaRings.com and enter it.
	Anyways, the Baron title of the Province of Utrecht will cause some skirmish, including other knights and dames in the Province of Utrecht.
	Sir Hendrick, Sir Doris, Dame Janetje of the Woodwall, lover of dirty jokes and others who are not mentioned.
	Bring your blades and have a fight like Noah Jenda Noble do.
	This will be fought out in a typical NA Lowlands way during an NA meetup with Croqueta and Bitterbola.
	Finally a shoutout to Dre, sir of the empty PayPal. Yes, he had a health...
	What's Bitterbola?
	Oh, bitter balls are like...
	So you know what a croquette is?
	Like a croquette in France?
	Yeah. It has like brain matter on the inside.
	It's hot. Oh, a soft ball.
	Yeah, so a bitter ball is basically...
	A tasty little soft ball.
	It's a bitter ball and it has the same brain matter as the croquette, only it's in a ball form.
	Yeah. So, shout out to Dre, Sir of the Empty PayPal, strong health karma from the No Agenda Lowlands community for Sir Dre.
	For the roundtable, Friske Hinder and a Lowlands Frisian finest whiskey aged at Port Oak Castle from my home barrel.
	Bring it yourself.
	Exactly. Here you go.
	You got some health karma. You've got karma.
	Little long. Little long.
	Onward with Melbourne, Florida's famous Sir Salahouser, 505.
	ITM. Can also be known as Commodore Amatis.
	There's a belch. Amatis Sir Salahouser, Baronet of the Space Coast.
	Go to NoAgendaRings.com and get your...
	Put that in.
	Ameth is probably not spelled correctly.
	Can I please have a Kamala whipping jingle from two shows ago by Kornhold?
	I don't remember anything about that.
	I don't know anything about a Kamala whipping.
	Hmm. A title change.
	Sir Hala Hauser of the 321 to Sir Sala Hauser Baronet of the Space Coast.
	Sorry about the Kamala thing.
	I have no idea what you're talking about.
	But I do have... Someone's getting corn-holed today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	There you go. Classic no-agenda jingle.
	Ivan Blum in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
	$500. Hello, John and Adam.
	Long-time listener. Off and on since the first or second year, but first-time donor.
	I've been waiting to send some cash, but this Commodore thing is what pushed me.
	As an airline pilot and instructor, I'm one of your feet in the air, and now I can pretend I am an air Commodore.
	Pretend it's real. Having grown up in the Netherlands, Adam was on radio and TV with Countdown, so it's great to still hear him speak Dutch.
	John, I used to read your columns in PC Magazine.
	It's good to hear about your can inspection days.
	He still inspects cans, believe me.
	You guys have been instrumental in keeping me sane with the idiotic media, so please continue.
	I need to de-douche. You've been de-douched.
	And I'd like to request jobs karma as I will be applying to another airline to expand my horizons.
	I'd also like to request some health karma for Angela, my smoking hot wife of 23 years, a rubbleizer, oh my goodness, and John's pet peeve nuts on a plane.
	We don't have time for the nuts on a plane, unfortunately, but we will give you the rubbleizer and the karma.
	Hasodor Yvonne Blom, Gaithersburg, Maryland.
	India, tango, mic.
	Standby. 33, 33, 33.
	Globalizer out.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Brent Smith in LeGrand, Oregon.
	500. Thank you, John and Adam.
	We have a lot of Commodores today.
	We do. I've been listening since early 2020.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And call out Wyatt as a douchebag.
	Douchebag. This is the kind of note we like.
	It's got action.
	Perfect. I claim the title Commodore Cow Lawyer.
	No jingles. May you never find an exit strategy.
	It's unlikely at this point.
	Debbie Elam in Hearst, Texas.
	500. And she's a wife of my smoking hot husband, Sir Nedworks, taking the title of Commodore Lawless.
	Looking forward to an actual peerage in the future.
	Nerdworks is the guy and gal named Dave in Dallas-Fort Worth for small business.
	Nerdworks. All right. Thank you.
	Baron Sir Dr.
	Goon in Overland Park, Kansas.
	John and Adam, this donation not only nets me the title of Commodore, accounting below, but you don't need much accounting for that.
	It's right here. It also brings you to the status of Viscount.
	Also, Wednesday is my 25th wedding anniversary since I'm again approaching the round table for an upgrade.
	Can I have Tomahawk Steaks and Hefeweizen?
	I also like a Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and an R2D2 Karma.
	That's for every...
	Thank you for everything you do.
	No exit strategy.
	Hashtag. Vice Councilor Dr.
	Commodore Goon. Lee North of Overland Park, Kansas.
	KF0BEH 73s.
	73s. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got...
	Karma. Now here's the note we love.
	Sir Dr. One Awesome Jason in Smyrna, Georgia, 500.
	And it just says Commodore, Sir Dr.
	One Awesome Jason, PhD.
	Oh, he's got the PhD.
	These titles are growing. Thank you.
	Barron Victor is in that same list of short, nice notes.
	Corvallis, Oregon.
	Also 500. Who can resist a noagenda commodore?
	ITM from Barron Victor of the Willamette Valley, Oregon.
	Willamette, dammit. Dr.
	Sir Reverend Joseph James, the 33rd, CDRD. CDRE. Is that a Commodore?
	Is that the abbreviation?
	I guess it would be Commodore or Cadre.
	One of the two. CDRE. ITM, no agenda nation.
	Well, who can pass up a Commodore ship?
	Sincerely appreciate the twice-weekly Global Insights and Amygdala Shrinkage.
	Attention! All producers should set up a $4 weekly sustaining donation via credit card.
	It's like a Netflix subscription, only way more valuable.
	Yes. Baby-making karma for me and my smoking hot wife, plus jobs karma for all of Gitmo Nation.
	Please and thank you.
	Stay free. Dr.
	Sir Reverend Joseph James, the 33rd, CDRE. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah! You've got...
	Karma.
	I find that baby-making karma jingle somewhat grotesque.
	Archie Brentano in Tigard, Oregon.
	Is it Tigard? I don't know.
	Somebody called me out.
	I used to call it Tigard, but it's not.
	It's Tigard, I think. 500.
	I'd like to request the title of Commodore 128 in memory of my first computer.
	If possible, I'd like to request the jingle, yeah, no, in honor of my dame.
	I'll be joining you at the round table sooner than later or later.
	Archie.
	Patrick of the Pugner Order, Incarnation Washington 500.
	In 2003, our choices were the Daily Source Code, Dignation, and This Week in Tech.
	21 years later, infinite podcasts, but no agenda is the only one that matters.
	Thank you for your courage, Commodore Patrick of the Pugner Order.
	Dimitri Geyer in Austin, Texas has the best note of the day, $500.
	Hey, wait, no note.
	He gets double up karma.
	You've got... Ah, not to be outdone by Jason Peterson from Round Rock, Texas.
	Right next to Austin.
	500. Commodore ship.
	And he says, no jingles, no karma.
	Boom. Done. Done.
	Douglas Goldberg in Hamilton, New Jersey.
	Also a Commodore. In the morning, $500.
	In the morning, gents. And greetings from New Jersey.
	I proudly proclaim my place in a no-agenda listenership.
	I've been listening since the COVID debacle.
	And have hit my wife and son in the mouth.
	Nice. Last show, my son jokingly called me a douchebag, and I realized that he was absolutely right.
	I was one of the...
	I was one of the many who always intended to donate but never followed through.
	Then I heard the Commodore offer and the Star Trek reference from show 1697, and I took it as a sign to get off my wallet.
	Please de-douche me?
	You've been de-douched.
	Give me a goat scream karma.
	God bless and God speed to the both of you and your audience.
	Hope this note was short enough for John.
	Smiley face. You've got...
	Karma. Sir Stuart Stafford in Staffordshire, Great Britain 500 to John Adam, a small token of appreciation for you too.
	No jingles but jobs, Karma.
	The Trump good one.
	Okay. For myself, now that I am semi-retired, and my daughter Lucy, who is starting a new job.
	Your faithful servant, Sir Stuart, the angry accountant.
	Jobs! Jobs!
	Jobs! Yeah, that's the one you want.
	You've got Karma.
	Sir Otaku in Flower Mound, Texas.
	This is an Indian burial site, if I'm not mistaken.
	500. Congratulations on 1,700 shows.
	Can I get a JCD mac and cheese karma?
	Sir Otaku, Duke of Northern Texas in the Red River Valley.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese. Hey, everybody.
	You've got karma.
	We go to Kimberly Cram in Fort Myers, Florida.
	500. Happy 1700.
	Looking forward to becoming a Commodore.
	Here's to another four more years.
	Steeler Grommel in Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
	A lot of Jerseyites today.
	Yeah. Commodore Steeler of the Ohio River reporting for service, gentlemen.
	I've been saving a while to share my treasure.
	Please serve up some jobs karma for my smoking hot girlfriend as she tries to move up the corporate ladder.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Sir Dominate, spelled in Hexor, D-0-M-1-N-4-T-3, San Diego, California, says no jingles, no karma from Sir Dominate.
	You got it. Thank you.
	Now we go to Sir Kevin of Devon in Gig Harbor, Washington.
	He's not in Devon at all.
	A 500. These are all 500s as we've been going along here.
	Congrats on 1700.
	Please understand how much no agenda has completely transformed my life, and I can't thank you enough.
	Public service. I have been a listener and then producer since show one.
	Wow. And have never missed an episode.
	Wow. I survived by seeing the world through the no agenda filter that you have provided all of us.
	I will retire next year after 34 years with a three-letter agency.
	Oh, there it is.
	One of the three-letter agencies.
	Could be any number. IRS. Could be IRS. IRS. Could be.
	And I'm now working on my exit strategy.
	I've adopted a V4V model as part of my reselling business and just recently started a YouTube channel called Real Boring Flips.
	Ah, house flipper.
	I'm new at this and not great, but you get it.
	It's not that hard. I'm new at this and not great, but enjoying it and improving with each episode.
	I'm asking anyone interested to simply watch my videos where I share tips and secrets I've developed reselling over the past 25 years.
	Ah, nice hobby. As an extra bonus, value for any NA viewers, I've started adding NA Easter eggs to my videos.
	The latest video, my top five keys to reselling success plus bonus key is littered with them.
	Please smash like and subscribe.
	Take care and God bless four more years.
	Sir Kevin of Devon in Gig Harbor.
	Todd Moore is in Tavernier, I would say, Florida.
	Commodore ship from 500.
	Hello! Probably Tavernier.
	Yeah, you're right. Hello, my favorite truth casters.
	I'm addicted to your show, your perfectly mic'd voices, and the way you utterly destroy the evil M5M Mockingbird assets into thousands of pieces.
	JCD brought me here with this grumpy tech humor, but Adam, you won me over instantly on the first episode I listened when you said, I'll never stop using the word retard.
	I laugh so loud and have listened to every episode since.
	Oh, it's a retard donation. Anyway, I have a small ask of you, Adam.
	Would it be okay if I used AI for something very important?
	I want to create a podcast of you reading the Bible, the entire Bible.
	I can't think of any better voice that would speak these powerful words into a modern audio format than with full podcasting 2.0 compliance.
	If anyone wants to team up on launching the Bible by Adam podcast into reality, let's chat!
	I'm on Twitter at...
	Todd Moore, T-O-D-D-M-O-O-R-E. I really like the idea because I want to read the Bible every night, but I'm more of an audio consumer than a book reader.
	And if Adam hates this idea, then I guess I'll use JCD's voice because I know that old grouch will appreciate the attention.
	Thanks for your consideration and God bless No Agenda.
	Todd Moore, White Noise Knight of the Florida Keys and the No Agenda Commodore.
	Send me a sample. They got to hear it first.
	Thank you, Todd. He's got a threat in there.
	Yes, if I don't like it, then he's going to use your voice, which is very...
	Yeah, can you imagine? It'll probably set Christianity back a hundred years.
	It'll be your fault.
	Jesus might come back.
	Like, hey, stop that.
	So now we have Paul...
	Oh, brother.
	Vreg... I would say it's Dutch.
	Vreugdenhil. In English, fruganil.
	Fruganil! Fruganil!
	In Madison. He's in Madison, Wisconsin.
	He's not in Poland at all.
	But he came in with 500 bucks and has a nice note that just simply says, thanks.
	Sir Dan the Man.
	Cape Coral, Florida, 500.
	Dear Buzzkill and Crackpot, happy Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
	Oh, we missed it. Also, Shana Tova to our Jewish friends celebrating Rosh Hashanah.
	And kudos to your 1700th episode.
	I just sent my donation to acquire my Commodore ship.
	It also is to mark my 58th birthday on October 7th.
	Libras of the world unite!
	Sir Dan the Man, Viscount of Southwest Florida.
	He's on the birthday list of heroes.
	Meanwhile, we got Sir Gooch of the RVA in Goochland, Virginia.
	Hmm. Switcheroo!
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you for the value. Far above what I have contributed, Sir Gooch, he's a $500 donation of RVA. This Commodore donation is from my son, Michael Lumpkins.
	Both of you, and I don't want to be neglected to acknowledge the thousands of producers, have kept us sane.
	Thank you. So does this mean that Michael Lumpkins is on the credit list for this, or we just discussed the Commodore show?
	No, I said switcheroo.
	It's got to be on the credit list. He's going to be listed.
	Switcheroo. And then you could go to noagendarings.com and fill out the Commodore form.
	Okay. Switcheroo has been completed.
	Sir Prime, Doctor of Illuminated Thinking in Sikane, Pennsylvania, I think.
	500. Sir Prime Doctor.
	Illuminated of thinking. If so pleases.
	Title change. The Commodore.
	Sir Prime. PhD.
	He's got two. Very nice.
	Good for him. Sir James Fukamoto in Salem, Virginia.
	No jingles, just karma.
	Keep up the good work. James Fukamoto.
	Black Knight. 500.
	We have...
	Dot Karma. He needs karma.
	Oh, I'm sorry. You've got karma.
	Sir Anthrax, Fountain, Colorado, 500.
	Greetings, John and Adam. Sir Anthrax here.
	I'm afraid my short-term memory has continued to decline over the years, but I'm glad I found no agenda before I started this journey.
	2012 in Afghanistan, or as we say, Afghanistan.
	The two of you are my one source of media that seems to always be reaching into the past, helping me with working on longer-term recall.
	On-air requests, can we hear Helen Thomas about 14 years ago telling us the Jew needs to get out of the Middle East and return to Europe?
	I look for it.
	We don't have it.
	Wow. Helen Thomas was an interesting battle accent.
	Yeah, and she died right after that.
	That was during the Obama, remember?
	I have to say remember.
	I keep saying member. Member.
	She was in front of the White House press corps, the old bag, and then she said that and then she got deplatformed, one of the first people to get deplatformed, and then she died like maybe a month or two after that.
	It was all very, very odd.
	That was very odd, yes.
	I should have written in sooner when the college protests were still a thing.
	Maybe an AI Helen Thomas isn't too far off.
	Can we play the recording of John telling us about firefighters having to hose each other down?
	No, we don't have time for that today.
	But I'll put it in a future end-of-show mix.
	Those are like minute-and-a-half things.
	Yeah, they're too long. Not as good as the fisting nuts story, but I don't think it's been played.
	We've got a lot of requests for fisting nuts, and we play it often.
	A de-douching. You've been de-douched.
	And a... Let me see.
	Where is it? I can do this one for you.
	And a Too Close to Truth Fears Freedom anime speech.
	Thanks, Sir Anthrax. Old soldiers never die.
	that just fade away. General MacArthur.
	Fear is freedom!
	Subjugation is liberation!
	Contradiction is truth!
	Those are the facts of this world!
	And you will all surrender to them!
	You pigs in human clothing!
	You pigs in human clothing!
	There you go. Classic fear is freedom.
	Here comes Sir James from Vancouver, Washington.
	Fought another 500, another Commodore.
	Get on board. Sir James of the Southwest Washington here, I wish to be proclaimed as the Commodore of 64.
	Another one. Only 64, not 128.
	Bigly, TTP jobs, karma.
	Please, thank you, and ITM. Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Sir Katz, Brighton, in the UK. Great Britain, 500.
	Hi John and Adam, all I wish for is more boat restoration karma.
	No other jingles.
	Sounds like you're in trouble.
	No need to read any of the below tips for the show, just for you maybe to get some inspiration.
	Lots of love, Sir Kaz, in Brighton, UK, where free speech is not allowed even in closed groups.
	It's true. It's true.
	You've got karma.
	It's sad, but it's true.
	And that ends our Commodore listing.
	Good list. We continue.
	Yes, very good list. We continue with our executive producers, EPs, as they might be called in the business.
	Electronics business consultants in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
	You got electronics, electronic business consultants.
	Thanks, guys. It's been a while, but your MSM fact check is invaluable, especially during the election season.
	I guess I put a value on it.
	Just now, it's $343.75.
	It's a good start. Hey, there's Jackie Green, the famous Jackie Green from Orangevale, California.
	You don't have to email us and say, is that the famous Jackie Green?
	Because yes, it is the famous Jackie Green.
	It is the famous Jackie Green.
	He has no notes, so he gets a double up karma.
	You've got... I'm surprised he didn't send us a note.
	He just likes to send us a little note every so often.
	Yeah, we'll hear from him, I'm sure.
	Sir Shug in Kamas, Washington.
	I don't even know where that is, but 333 must be east.
	333.33, ITM gentlemen, congrats on 1700 episodes.
	I'll be brief, for me.
	This donation brings me to the second knighthood accounting attached, and I would like...
	This to be a switcheroo and credited to my best friend and this is another switcheroo.
	Got it. And my smoking hot wife.
	Don't worry, it's the same personal, it's the same person.
	Oh, okay. Good to know.
	Sorry, I blew the joke there.
	Yeah, verb. She shall henceforth be known as Dame Jitterbug, fixer of gadgets, until and unless she chooses a different moniker.
	As she may not be interested in the ring and ceiling wax, maybe I'll finally get around to getting that done for myself.
	Thanks for all you do.
	No jingles but a hearty and healthy karma for everybody.
	Love is Litzer Shug of the A.K.A. Fox faux diddly.
	Faux diddly. It's faux diddly.
	You've got karma.
	We move on to Soaps.
	Soaps. Peyton, Colorado.
	325. Switcheroo.
	Credit my better half.
	Tabitha Soaps with this executive producership.
	I'm doing it as we speak.
	Okay. Done.
	Thank you for making it tight.
	Keeping it tight and making it look easy.
	Jingles. Biden. Get vaccinated.
	Trump. I'm gonna come.
	Obama. You might die.
	And if you don't have W's...
	What is that?
	Strategy? I've never even heard that.
	The strategery when Bush says that.
	You haven't played that ever.
	I don't think we have it.
	He says strategery.
	Strategery. Okay. No, I don't have that one.
	I'll say it. Yes, you will say it.
	And here we go. Get vaccinated.
	I'm going to come. You might die.
	A strategery. Beautiful.
	That didn't sound at all like that.
	Zadok Brown III. Not even close.
	No, I don't do that voice.
	I don't do many voices.
	Zadok, I do accents sometimes.
	Zadok Brown III in Makawao, Hawaii.
	Makawao, I think.
	And he's our first associate executive producer.
	220, 240, no mention of anything, so he gets a double up karma.
	Yeah. You've got...
	And coming in with 217 from Canyon Lake, Texas, Rob Carty, our constitutional lawyer.
	He sends us a legal note, legal notice.
	On legal paper, donation number four, hold for episode 1700.
	It was held. ITM John and Adam, kindly hold this donation of 217 for episode 1700.
	Today I wish to advocate for Gitmo Nation.
	17 years is an impressive run and reflects a hell of a community by all involved.
	I move that you extend this mutual allegiance for four more years.
	Here are some indisputable facts.
	One, in year one, no agenda will be old enough to vote.
	Oh, in one year, no agenda will be old enough to vote. Good point.
	In two years, no agenda will surpass the median duration of American marriages.
	A lawyer would know.
	In three years, no agenda will outlive King Louis V of France.
	In four years, no agenda can finally get hammered in public.
	To leave these monumental milestones unachieved would be to shortchange not only yourselves,
	but also the loyal community you've built and I dare say the world.
	Eventually, I hope to extend this advocacy to all Texas and California producers.
	We help with litigation and compliance issues.
	I also help lawyers across the USA with appeals and complex briefs.
	Check me out at rob.lawyer. Yes, that's the URL, rob.lawyer.
	I'm working to protect Gitmo Nation.
	I respectfully request my usual open up Adam Curry jingle and karma to protect us all from the G-men and charlatans of all kind.
	And I thought I had it here somewhere.
	Oh, that's unfortunate.
	I thought I had open up.
	Yes, I do have it here.
	Okay. And that's from Rob Carty.
	Thank you very much, Rob. You've got karma.
	Bradley Taylor in New York, Pennsylvania comes in with 211.34.
	Donation of $200.70 with fees.
	Sounds like five bucks, I guess, four bucks.
	I've been listening since the first JRE appearance and changed my mindset ever since.
	That's nice. Play the Fear is Freedom jingles for me, please.
	Appreciate all you guys do.
	Keep it up.
	Congrats on 1700.
	I'll be here until you stop.
	Fear is freedom!
	Subjugation is liberation!
	Contradiction is truth!
	Those are the facts of this world!
	And you will all surrender to them!
	You pigs in human clothing!
	And Darren O'Neill comes in from Chirac in Illinois, 21060.
	He says, on behalf of Planet Rage, the show that has been described as no agenda with anger management issues, we'd like to wish you a very happy 1700 show.
	Thank you for being an exemplary role.
	Thank you for being exemplary role models from Larry Blender, Blender, Blender, Blender, from Larry and Darren of Planet Rage.
	Thank you. That's very kind of you guys.
	Yeah, that was nice. Planet Rage is a good show.
	Early in today's rock and roll thing, he used the term hella.
	Yeah, that's a violation of sorts.
	Sorry to hear that. Yeah, it's a violation of sorts.
	Eli the Coffee Guy in Bensonville, Illinois, you got my care package the other day, and I want to thank you for that.
	$210.33.
	We got ours too, and thank you for putting in decaf for Tina.
	That was very kind of you. I'll send you my decaf.
	I'm not going to ever use it.
	Congratulations on 1700.
	I find it pointless.
	Congratulations on 1700.
	I wonder how he extracts it.
	Is it the water extraction? He'll let us know.
	Congratulations on 1700 shows.
	I started listening right around show 1000 and I've been hooked ever since.
	Keep up the great work, gentlemen.
	October is known for surprises.
	Visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use the code ITM20 for 20% off your order.

	Jingle eating the dogs.
	They're eating the dogs.
	Dan Kesterson in Colorado Springs, Colorado $200.33, Associate Executive Producership, and he says, check out anteloperidgemead.com for award-winning Modern Mead.
	We shipped over 40 states and occasionally host meetups.
	Congratulations on show number 1700.
	Thank you. I think you should send me a bottle of your best.
	I'd like to... I haven't had good mead forever.
	It's hard to get good mead. Linda Lupatkin, here she is in Lakewood, Colorado, $200.
	And she says, Jobs Karma.
	She asked for Jobs Karma. And she mentions that for a faster, more effective job search, visit ImageMakersInc.com.
	That's ImageMakersInc with a K. For all your executive job...
	For all your executive resumes and job search needs.
	We work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and...
	What is this?
	Who is we? Oh, and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs.
	I'm sorry, I blow this every other time.
	Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of Resumes Happy 1700s.
	She says, my wife says...
	Mimi says, you know, she says, yeah, I like to listen to the donation segment to listen to you botch things.
	She says it's charming.
	Well, it is. It is charming.
	And I think it actually brings more attention to the message.
	Oh, definitely. Because when I do a perfect read of Linda Lupacki, which is every so often.
	Yeah, it happens. I don't think it has the effect of my charming botch.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah! And our last Associate Executive Producer for Episode 1700 is Micah Farrell from Georgetown, Kentucky.
	$200. I really appreciate the value that your show gives.
	You truly are the best podcast in the universe.
	Wishing you all the best for a never-ending four more years.
	And we appreciate our Commodores.
	We appreciate our title changes here.
	And of course, our Executive and Associate Executive Producers.
	We're going to blow right on through all the way to the 50s to thank everybody as we do on every single show.
	Yeah, so we had a disappointment here with the 170 donations, which kind of represented 1,700 episodes in dimes.
	We only have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, starting with David...
	Homony, Homony, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
	And the fees got paid here, $179.02.
	Also, Rebecca Hogg, H-A-U-G-H, in Memphis, Tennessee, $179.02.
	And she's also known as Rebecca Girl.
	She needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	There you go, Rebecca Girl.
	Charlotte Worcester, depending.
	She's in San Francisco. Who knows how they pronounce it there?
	Usually, hey you!
	179.02.
	Sir John in London, UK, 170.33.
	And then finally, Jonathan Reisman in St.
	Louis, Missouri, 170. Then we move on to Harry Klan in Aledo, Texas, 1508.
	He's got a note you might want to read because it involves him getting either knighting or...
	Yes, I have it here. Adam and John couldn't talk!
	I will be edging ahead of Adam when I turn 61 on October 2nd, so happy birthday, one day late.
	My check for 1508 will put me over the top for a knighthood accounting attached.
	However, I wish to bequeath my title to my wife Jody, who introduced me to the No Agenda podcast in 2009, thus opening my mind, shrinking my amygdala, and changing my life forever.
	Please grant Jody the title of Dame Jody of the North Texas Anettas.
	Subject to change. I plan to continue my monthly donations to earn a knighthood for myself.
	Here's to 40 more years, he says.
	Oh, by the way, he says, P.S. I will be attending the Noah Jenner meetup in Fredericksburg, Texas on October 18th.
	I am looking forward to meeting Adam and Tina at the 1776 bar.
	Maybe John will fly in to join the fun?
	Doubtful. Yeah.
	See you there, brother. Corey Baker in Fort Myers, Florida.
	125. Apologies for the confusion, he says, but we don't read these notes at this level.
	I just want to thank him.
	He... He did get a...
	I think he's already donated for the Commodore.
	This is a missed note for his Commodore donation, so...
	Oh, this is his note.
	Well, they have to read it. Gotta read it.
	Yeah. But it's been sustaining donation for a while, a bit longer to consolidate my accounting.
	Please see attached. This donation actually puts me to the baronet level.
	However, I will keep the Commodore title and like to gift a damehood to my smoking hot wife, Jen.
	She's on the list, I believe.
	She is. The muttoned meat is perfect for me and Jen would like some cherry coke.
	At the round table.
	Yep, got it. They still make it?
	Oh yeah. I really appreciate all you guys doing.
	No jingles, no karma. Commodore Corey and Dame Jen.
	Okay. Beautiful. John Ferretti in Girard, Pennsylvania.
	Baron Latican, it's 105.35.
	Baron Latican came with 100 from Houston, and then John Robinet, Parts Unknown, another 100.
	Chris Knowles in Grain Valley, Missouri, 100.
	And this is a switcheroo for a smoking hot wife, Allison Knowles.
	And he needs a de-douche. He needs a de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	The Frozen Tundra, 85, New Brighton, Minnesota.
	Dame Rita in Sparks, Nevada.
	Ah, Dame Rita in Sparks.

	He's the Archduke of Luna. Lover of American Boobs, along with Jonathan Ferris in Liberal, Kansas.
	8008. And Robert Oseguida.
	I didn't use to know how to pronounce this guy's name.
	Oseguida. Oseguida.
	Sounds right. Oseguida.
	And he's in Connecticut, Easton.
	8008 Anonymous, Fairfield, Ohio, 7377.
	Dana Carroll in Laughlin, Nevada, 7227.

	Dame Melavation, and there's an attached note you're going to read.
	She's a baronet. Let's get to the end first, then you can read her note.
	Aichi Kitagawa in San Francisco, and last time our list is Leslie Walker in Roseburg, Oregon.
	Yes. I want to thank these folks for making this show a distinct reality.
	We had Melanie says, Dear Comedy Team, a.k.a.
	John and AC, I've stopped my PayPal monthly donation so I can write, so that I can write a check and note to JCD every month.
	And NA gets all the money.
	This measly $50 brings me to baronetta status, but you can still call me Dame Elevation.
	I laugh non-stop during the first 20 minutes of the 922 show.
	Thank you for keeping us sane, laughing and connected in this sometimes upside-down world.
	Adam is correct. It is a spiritual battle, especially for the lives and souls of our children.
	I myself am a single woman with a...
	with a cat...
	But I have many nieces and nephews.
	I pray for all the children out there.
	Keep on making human resources in a nation.
	God bless you all. Dame Elevation.
	And she sent the accounting on the back.
	Beautiful. Thank you very much. And thank you, as John said, to all of our producers, especially our executive and associate executive producers and our commodores of episode 1700.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order! Order! Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave!
	And we are, as always, at NoAgendaDonations.com.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Well, this is a short list.
	Harry Klan turned 60 yesterday.
	Happy birthday, Harry. Sir Dan the Man turns 58 on October the 7th.
	And Brennan of the Glass City wishes Bubba of the Maumee Valley a very happy birthday.
	And we say it the same. Happy birthday for everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	It's your birthday, yeah.
	Title changes.
	Turn and face the slate.
	That's the changes.
	Don't want to be a douche.
	We congratulate Sir Huskadaver, who now becomes Sir Huskadaver, Baron Commodore of the province of Utrecht.
	Sir Sala Hauser of the 321 becomes Sir Sala Hauser, Baronet of the Space Coast.
	Baron Sir Dr.
	Goon, Viscount Sir Dr.
	Commodore Goon. And Dame Elevation becomes Baronetist Dame Elevation.
	Thank you all very much for upping your peerage and stepping up on the ladder here on the No Agenda Peerage.
	For the No Agenda show.
	Now, I've received many notes about the commodoring, about the sound effects.
	The most notable was from a very mad producer who said, What the F is wrong with you, Curry?
	This whistle and bell shit pissed me off beyond max.
	And then the what the weird if and F. I guess you're aware that some people use in-ear headphones.
	Can you imagine how effing annoying it is being on the Autobahn at 250 miles an hour and not being able to turn this painful, annoying...
	Off F you!
	You nearly totaled my ride!
	I'm super pissed!
	Sorry, man.
	Wow, I'm very sorry about that.
	That was obviously a mistake. Wait, wait, hold on a second.
	He's on the Autobahn and he's got headphones on?
	Yeah, and he says he's doing 250 miles an hour.
	Isn't that illegal? I would say so.
	I know it's illegal to wear headphones in California going on as just a freeway at 65 miles an hour max, let alone, you know, the speeds you get on the Autobahn.
	He's one of those guys that has his left blinker on doing probably 250 kilometers an hour flashing everybody.
	Get out of my way! I'm listening to No Agenda Show.
	I hate those guys! Threw it through the speakers.
	So we got to the official way to do a Commodore ship is by sounding the bells, then announcing the new Commodores, Commodore A, B, C, etc.
	And after the last one, I'm supposed to say arriving and then play the boatswain pipe.
	Ah, bosun. Well, it says boatswain, but I guess bosun.
	Yeah, it's pronounced bosun.
	Bosun. Okay, the bosun pipe.
	So, I still will set it up properly because we are very happy to bring in a whole slew of new Commodores.
	Get ready everybody!
	🎵 Commodore Brennan of the Glass City!

	It's beautiful. The Bosun's whistle that you had that time was a lot better.
	Yeah, that's actually from Star Trek.
	That's the Star Trek Bosun whistle.
	Really? It sounds so much better than the screechy one you had before.
	Yes. Well, I didn't want anyone to wreck their car on the Autobomb.
	I guess it really was...
	Yeah, I guess I really liked him.

	Okay, here we go. What we are living through here is history.
	That's a little long, I think.

	They're both really good.
	I think the Holy Moly might be good.
	Holy Moly, a great show!
	Yeah, I think you're right. And now, ladies and gentlemen, time once again, 1700 episodes with the tip of the day!
	These are tips, so they're short and sweet, and this is another foodie tip.
	Foodie tip? So if you buy, I buy these hot chilies from the mong at the farmer's market, usually on Saturday, and they have various heat, but the Thai chilies, which they like to grow, and crossbreed with all kinds of other chilies, these Thai chilies, if anyone's had them, they're small, And they're thin-skinned as opposed to a meaty chili like, let's say, a jalapeno, which is very meaty.
	Very meaty.
	It's meaty. And even, to me, the serrano peppers also.
	These little thin-skinned Thai chilies, you can buy them.
	Whatever you pay for them, you're always paying.
	You know, they're pretty expensive. But generally speaking, without exception, they...
	We'll keep in the freezer for decades.
	You freeze them and they're good forever.
	Have you tested this yourself?
	Oh, yeah. I've got some from five years ago.
	Okay. I want you to eat one on the next show.
	I want to hear how... You don't eat...
	You throw them in sauce or something.
	You don't want to eat these things.
	Oh, okay. For decades.
	So in like 10 years, Tina will be like, what's this?
	What is this thing here?
	Oh, okay. There you go.
	Another tip of the... Hey, guys. Yes.
	Show us your tips. That's right.
	Just the tips, everybody. And that concludes our broadcast day.

	forgot to mention.
	And now it's time to play What's That Smell with your host, Frank Booth.
	What does a monkey taint smell like?
	What's that smell?
	Let's dive in.
	I'll freak anything that moves!
	Just straight to the monkey taint.
	And let's start the smelling.
	Are we talking about something acrid, musky, sweet, putrid?
	Shut the freak up!
	And right on cue, we'll start the aroma smelling with...
	Biological factors. Adam the lesbian.
	Oh my golly, that's right, isn't it?
	Urgent. Got this word, tape.
	Money has been transferred to a cartel to push this over the border.
	It's daddy's turn to play!
	Good point. The next target for assassination.
	Monkeys have their own version of perfume, and we humans are just clueless.
	Do a little meta on this?
	Yeah, please. You pick up your blue velvet, which has been soaked in celebrity sweat.
	What does a monkey taint smell like?
	The whole kitten caboodle.
	He said, yeah, it sucks. Cultural perceptions of smell.
	Anyone can do these.
	I mean, you're just sending out a dangerous product to inject to the American people and the rest of the world.
	They don't care! Okay, so we've talked a bit about the biological side, but we still haven't nailed down what that monkey taint actually smells like.
	What does monkey taint smell like?
	It's a question about a smell.
	Says, oh, that's the greatest.
	What? And the rest of it is all show.
	It's all theater. Fireworks.
	I've become friends with school shooters.
	I've seen it. Look, the NRA, I was the NRA guy for a long time.
	They used to teach gun safety.
	Common sense wisdom. So I was in.
	Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in.
	And from that, I learned a lot.
	We just got to get back to common sense economic principles.
	So those of you out there listening tonight, you're hearing a lot of stuff back and forth.
	And it's good. It's healthy. That's what this is supposed to happen.
	You should be listening. How's this going to impact me?
	I was raised in a working class family.
	Now look, my community knows who I am.
	Let's just say that's true.
	Just for the sake of arguments that we're not arguing about weird science, let's just say that's true.
	From Bernie Sanders to Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift and a whole bunch of folks in between.
	To have the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr.
	and Tulsi Gabbard. I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect.
	And I'm a knucklehead at times.
	But it's always been about that.
	You know, I grew up in a working class family in a neighborhood where I knew a lot of young women.
	I don't think we can be the frog in the pot and let the boiling water go up.
	We just got to get back to common sense economic principle.
	Let's be clear of where we're at on this.
	It's because we got out of an imbalance on this.
	You've got to play whack-a-mole.
	This thing roared onto the scene faster and stronger than anything we've seen.
	My community knows who I am.
	They saw where I was at.
	Look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my heart into my community.
	Gun violence is now the number one cause of the death of children in America.
	I've become friends with school shooters.
	Not car accidents, not cancer, gun violence.
	The number one cause of death for the children of America.
	So I've become friends with school shooters.
	And this is the result of many, many issues including mass shootings and school shootings.
