	Well, you know, the way I see it, the way the government coming in.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, October 17, 2024.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1704.
	This is No Agenda.
	Celebrating six weeks in Fred and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley where we've noticed that for the first time in eight years they've brought out the B-2 bombers to bomb the crap out of Yemen.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, speaking of bombs...
	Did you read that in the Main Street?
	Was that on CBS News?
	No, I got it from a dude named Muhammad.
	Like you did, I think.
	No, I got it from the Defense One newsletter.
	I mean, we're bombing the crap out of the Houthis, and this isn't the top of the news.
	I got here, Dune Mohammed, who is our boots on the ground in the region.
	Yeah, we have a couple of them.
	ITM, gents.
	Operation New Order is progressing well.
	Yahya Sinwar is dead.
	The backup of the backup leader Hezbollah is dead.
	And American B2s are bombing the Houthis.
	Almost there before November so Trump can finish it up with a phone call.
	Thank you for your courage, dude.
	Name Mohammed.
	He's got the right idea.
	He does.
	Finish it off with a phone call.
	Before you continue, we had a six-week cycle moment here in Fredericksburg this morning.
	Oh, in Fredericksburg, of all places.
	Yes.
	At 10 a.m., the Gillespie County Sheriff's Office deputies conducted a search and inventory of a U-Haul box truck at the impound lot.
	They had apparently arrested some dude who was driving through Fredericksburg from Washington state.
	At that time, the San Antonio Police Department bomb squad was notified, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
	all showed up and the search and inventory of the u-haul stemmed from an arrest that occurred on friday the person driving the u-haul was uh wanted out of washington for the theft over four hundred thousand dollars worth of coins and precious metals which were located in the u-haul along with several explosive devices that were removed to blow up the goods that That were removed from the U-Haul.
	A few were detonated within the safety zone here in Fredericksburg.
	They detonated them.
	Boom.
	Over by the Walmart.
	So doesn't this have...
	We're going to blow these things up, Bill.
	I think over by the Walmart.
	That'll get some attention.
	We'll get some news coverage.
	Doesn't this have all the hallmarks of some weak, weak brother who they just said, all right, man, you take this.
	And they had, let's see, what else did they find?
	Numerous ammo, cans of ammunition, a handgun, and body armor.
	This guy was ready.
	He was ready.
	Yeah.
	Woohoo!
	It's great.
	Well, that's probably a better news story than, let me just go back to the B2 thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	In the same newsletter, I want to read this, because I didn't see this on CBS. Oh, we can't have that.
	I didn't see Nora talking about this.
	Listen to this.
	Raytheon.
	You heard anything about Raytheon?
	I've heard of them.
	I hear their stock is up.
	To pay nearly $1 billion for defrauding the DOD. Oh, what?!
	Yeah, allegedly bribing Qatari official.
	The company took in more than $111 million more than it was owed during two separate schemes in connection with the Patriot missile systems and a radar system.
	It goes on, Raytheon official said the company is taking responsibility for the misconduct of But it occurred, listen to this, quote, largely prior to 2020.
	Oh, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	This is someone getting back at Trump for that, taking $1.7 billion off of Air Force One.
	Rewind.
	In August, Raytheon was fined $200 million for the unauthorized export of defense technology to China, Russia, Iran, and elsewhere.
	There you go.
	How come this isn't running right at the...
	This would be the top of the news instead of these various interviews of Kamala.
	No.
	Instead, we have to go to the lie of the day.
	The lie of the day.
	We play first the lie of the day as going viral and what everybody is responding to, including your vice president.
	And then we shall play it in context because this actually comes from Sunday.
	And I played a few clips.
	I didn't even realize that they could turn this into another very fine people hoax.
	But here it is.
	The viral clip.
	I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within.
	Not even the people that have come in and destroying our country.
	By the way, totally destroying our country.
	The towns, the villages, they're being inundated.
	Villages.
	I don't think they're the problem in terms of election day.
	I think the bigger problem are the people from within.
	We have some very bad people.
	We have some sick people, radical left lunatics.
	And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.
	So that was, and we'll get to this later, taken that Trump is going to sick the military on you, on you, on you people, on journalists, on people he doesn't like, political enemies.
	Now, now let's...
	That's a good one.
	Yeah, I like that.
	Your Muslim screech, whatever that is.
	Women only do that.
	Yeah, women do it.
	Well, you know.
	All right, so now we will play this in context as discussed on Maria Bartiromo's Sunday Morning Futures.
	Everyone all over the world, the Congo in Africa, we've taken in hundreds of people from their prisons, the Congo, all the way in Africa, many, many countries, the Middle East, we're taking in massive numbers of people, and many terrorists, and they're coming into our country, and they're Middle Eastern terrorists, and from Asia, we're taking in, and a lot from South America.
	There was an Afghan refugee charged with plotting a U.S. Election Day massacre.
	Nothing surprises me.
	What about that, though?
	Are you expecting chaos on Election Day?
	No, I don't think.
	Not from the side that votes for Trump.
	But I'm just wondering if these outside agitators will start up on Election Day.
	Let's say you win.
	I mean, let's remember, you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in this country in the last couple of years.
	You have people on the terrorist watch list, 350 in the last couple of years.
	You've got, like you said, 13,000 murderers and 15,000 rapists.
	Right.
	What are you expecting?
	Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a peaceful election day.
	Well, he doesn't have any idea what's happening in rural areas.
	He spends most of his day sleeping.
	I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within.
	Not even the people that have come in and destroying our country.
	By the way, totally destroying our country.
	The towns, the villages are being inundated.
	But I don't think they're the problem in terms of election day.
	I think the bigger problem are the people from within.
	We have some very bad people.
	We have some sick people.
	Radical left lunatics.
	And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can't let that happen.
	So, what Trump is saying here, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out, is Biden has said election day is not going to be calm.
	Trump says...
	Well, we should bring in the National Guard if it's not calm.
	But that would be from the sick people who we expect, if Trump wins, will probably go rioting and doing stuff like Black Lives Matter.
	It was very obvious what he was saying.
	Was it obvious to you?
	If you hear it in context, it's obvious, but that's not what they're playing.
	So I think this, and I'll just play this clip and I'll let you go.
	I like the idea, by the way, I'll give you this.
	I like the idea of equating this with the very fine people hoax, because they need these hoaxes to make things work.
	And so I think this was, well, we'll talk about it, but this was probably the only...
	Wait, fortunately, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, she can't use it as saying, the only reason I ran is because of the very fine people.
	No.
	No, but I think this was the only reason she showed up on Bret Baier for this would seem like a sadistic ritual against her by her own team to make her do this.
	And this is how...
	I have thoughts on this supposed interview.
	So I'll play this from CNN, Aaron Burnett, and this pertains to this new hoax.
	At one point, Harris visibly angry.
	Angry.
	He was railing against Trump and his threat to target what he has called the enemy from within.
	He is the one who talks about an enemy within, an enemy within, talking about the American people.
	Suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people.
	We ask, just for context, he will not be president on election day.
	So he is literally saying, well, the Biden administration should clean this up with the National Guard.
	He won't even have the power to do that on election day.
	Good point.
	People suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people.
	We asked that question to the former president today.
	Harris Faulkner had a town hall and this is how he responded.
	I heard about that.
	They were saying I was, like, threatening.
	I'm not threatening anybody.
	They're the ones doing the threatening.
	They do phony investigations.
	I've been investigated more than Alphonse Capone.
	He was the greatest gangster.
	No, it's true.
	We never think of it.
	It's called weaponization of government.
	It's a terrible thing.
	So...
	Brett, I'm sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within that he has repeated when he's speaking about the American people.
	That's not what you just showed.
	He was asked about that specific...
	No, no, no, that's not what you just showed, in all fairness and respect to you.
	No, no, no, I'm telling you that was the question that we asked him.
	You didn't show that, and here's the bottom line.
	He has repeated it many times, and you and I both know that.
	And you and I both know that he has talked about turning the American This is a democracy and an inner democracy.
	The President of the United States in the United States of America should be willing to be able to handle criticism without saying he'd lock people up for doing it.
	And this is what is at stake.
	Whoa, this is what is at stake.
	I just have to play this 45 seconds from Tim Waltz.
	Because he really drove home the message that they're trying to convey.
	I'd say this is a must-win state for Kamala Harris to take the White House.
	Chief political reporter Jason Zimmerman was at the event and two unexpected stops after Walz arrived in the area by plane.
	All right, here comes Walz.
	Well, hello, Green Bay.
	Good to see you all.
	Greeting hundreds of supporters inside the KI Convention Center in Green Bay.
	Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Wall standing alongside fellow Democrats, including the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan, making the case for not allowing Donald Trump to return to the White House.
	Yesterday he went on Fox News, that's a safe place for him, he went on there, and he suggested that he is going to send the military against the enemy from within.
	Now I want you to think about it.
	In other words, Americans who don't support him.
	Just to be clear, if any of your neighbors or friends or anybody thinks about that, you know who he's talking about?
	He's talking about you.
	And the news media played along with this completely.
	Just all, all, all, all in.
	Now, no agenda.
	We're not here to participate in the culture war agenda.
	We are here to serve you, to deconstruct your world to the best of our God-given ability.
	And we will do that today, once again.
	So, this interview made no sense to me.
	Why would she do this?
	Well, I thought it was a bad interview.
	The Fox site, well, it wasn't a bad interview.
	I thought it was a bad interview from Bear's perspective.
	Oh, interesting.
	I thought she steamrolled him.
	She brought in her normal...
	In fact, I want to play this pre-clip.
	This was this woman, Darmette Dillon, that was on Tucker Carlson.
	Oh, yes.
	No, Harmeet.
	It's Harmeet.
	Harmeet.
	She's a lawyer.
	Yeah, she's a lawyer, and she worked with Kamala in the city, I guess, and she's been around.
	Oh, really?
	Because she's a Republican, isn't she?
	I think she ran to be, or she vied to be the chair of the RNC. She was in and around Kamala's circles.
	Okay.
	But this is the part that I thought was interesting.
	There's two things in here.
	One was the pronunciation of her name.
	They talk about that.
	And then they talk about, I think, the most significant thing, which is what rubs people the wrong way about Kamala, which is the fact that she's a Brahmin.
	During this period, how does she pronounce her first name?
	And I ask because she's on video pronouncing it Kamala and Kamala.
	Two different ways.
	So I remember her putting the emphasis on the second syllable.
	So it was like Kamala.
	Kamala.
	Kamala was how she pronounced it.
	Not Kamala.
	Not Kamala.
	Kamala is actually how Indians pronounce it.
	The name derives from the word for lotus in Sanskrit, which is Komal.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	What?
	And so, you know, that is how you're supposed to pronounce it.
	Is it a conventional name?
	It's a conventional name.
	Absolutely.
	And it's a Brahmin.
	She's from a Brahmin family.
	Her mother is Brahmin.
	And so, you know, high caste background.
	I thought she was oppressed.
	She's a shapeshifter, like I said.
	I saw an explanation in one of these liberal publications trying to explain how throughout most of her career, she's passed as African American and not mixed race because, of course...
	Not until Tiger Woods became prominent did people parse out their differences in their racial background.
	So, you know, it was suggested that she had to pick one or the other early in her career, and she's largely identified as African American.
	And so she really focused on the African American community in San Francisco.
	She identified as African American.
	Did she live in a black neighborhood?
	Did she live in Hunters Point?
	She did not live in Hunter's Point.
	She lived in a nice condo in the South of Market in the ballpark area.
	But she was, quote, focused on the African-American community.
	She was focused on the African-American community.
	A Brahmin.
	There you go.
	Yes, we have Brahmins that listen to the show.
	They're responsible Brahmins, I will say.
	We've talked about this, I think, occasionally.
	Although they have not denounced her.
	I don't think Brahmins can do that.
	I would like to know what...
	Because this arrogance that she portrays is kind of, oh, let me talk.
	I mean, this look on her face, the whole way she acts is extremely Brahmin.
	My son...
	I like this.
	I mean, you're the Brahmin expert, the Brexpert.
	Well, we have a lot of Brahmins in the area, and they're in high tech.
	They dominate.
	Well, I'd say they dominate at least sections of high tech.
	Is Sacha Nadella a Brahmin?
	Oh, absolutely.
	And who's the guy from Google?
	What's his name?
	Oh, for sure.
	Okay, Brahmins.
	And they exude a certain arrogance.
	The Brahmins, we have the same arrogance, and they're proud of themselves.
	It's a caste system in India, and they're the top of the caste.
	The ones that we have are extremely irresponsible because they do not have the...
	They kind of ignore what's called the noblesse oblige, I think it was called.
	It's the responsibility of these classes to, like, for example, donate to the show.
	Hello!
	Oh, I did it already!
	Oh, you did?
	That's good.
	I did it already.
	Yeah, I'm already off to the races.
	Hello!
	Hello, Brahmins!
	Some of us are doing it.
	So, my son, who works with a lot of Brahmins, says that they have their responsibility...
	If we don't have Indian donors, he believes it's because the Brahmins don't donate to the show in any real way that they're obligated to do by their cast because they're the ones who lead the way to other Brahmins.
	And so since they don't help us at all, basically, except occasionally, you can go on about them in such a way that's probably not complimentary.
	And I think that Kamala Harris with her...
	She really sits there arrogantly and lectures people is from this culture.
	It's not from her being black.
	No.
	And I think it rubs people the wrong way.
	And what we don't need in this country, to any extreme, is a Brahmin president of the United States.
	There you go.
	We're not a class-structured system, and I think she rubs people the wrong way.
	I don't care how much money she spends.
	I don't even know how much corruption they can throw at it, but I don't think that she can get in because of that.
	No!
	No, she's not going to be president.
	No way.
	So...
	So Brett Baer does an interview with her that sucked.
	And even though the Fox sites, oh, Brett asked the follow-up questions.
	He didn't get anywhere.
	I saw that afterwards.
	Oh, yes, Brett, I think you were good at steering it back.
	And you were really good.
	Oh, this is a good job, Brett.
	Good job.
	By the way, Brett's kind of got a wide load there.
	You don't see him normally because he's behind the desk.
	Yeah, he's a big guy.
	He's a big guy, yeah.
	But he is not an interviewer to an extreme, as I would say.
	I wouldn't call him a good interviewer.
	And he let her kind of dominate the conversation and give him the old, well, I'm talking, you know, let me finish.
	She's going on and on.
	When she says, let me finish my...
	He said, well, you're not answering the question.
	I'd let you...
	What he should say is stuff like...
	I'd let you finish if you were answering the question.
	It's a simple question.
	Right, right, right.
	But he never did any of that and he let her ramble.
	She went on and on and on.
	I have a couple of examples.
	Can I just make a suggestion that people like Bret Baier and Fox in general, that they feel they have to be somewhat cautious just in case she wins so they still have access?
	Right.
	I don't believe that's true.
	No?
	Okay.
	That's what I thought.
	I don't think that's true.
	Okay.
	I think they're just not that good.
	No!
	Nobody watches these shows anymore.
	Well, there's that.
	That's a whole different topic of conversation that we both agree on.
	Everybody's watching The Golden Bachelor.
	Hello!
	Oh, I did it again!
	Oh, no!
	I gotta stop.
	Yes.
	You're sick.
	I know.
	Okay, I'm gonna stop it now.
	Alright, from this moment on, I'm stopping it.
	Here we go.
	Alright, here we go.
	Hello?
	Nope, you're not gonna get it from me.
	Nope.
	I'm done.
	I'm done with it.
	I'm done.
	Okay, we'll see.
	I'm disgusted with myself now.
	Let's start with a summary that NPR gave of the Harris Bear.
	This Harris Bear summary, NPR. This is what they thought of the thing.
	And NPR and a bunch of...
	There's a bunch of TikTokers and everybody in between saying, oh, she cleaned his clock.
	You know, she won.
	Let's listen to the elitist voices.
	Elitist voices of America.
	This is NPR.com.
	Democrat Kamala Harris took questions on immigration, transgender rights, and the economy in a wide-ranging interview conducted by Fox News host Brett Baer.
	The vice president pushing back on charges she's flip-flopped in terms of her positions.
	Harris saying, my presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency if she wins the White House in November.
	And asked about comments she's made about supporters of GOP rival Donald Trump.
	Harris brisseled.
	If you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any of his rallies, he's the one who tends to demean and belittle and diminish the American people.
	He's the one who talks about an enemy within.
	An enemy within.
	Talking about the American people, suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people.
	Speaking at a rally earlier today in Pennsylvania, surrounded by more than a hundred Republicans who now say they'll vote for her over Trump, Harris again called Trump unstable and unhinged.
	I think, I really, since everyone had it...
	Don't you think that was the most slanted report you've ever heard and it backed up your thesis about the media going along with this, you know, the military attacking the American public?
	That's why she was there.
	That was the only thing she had to launch in some desperation move outside of what I just thought was a satanic ritual by her team on her.
	Why?
	You don't need to go on a breadware show.
	I think what you're saying is self-contradictory.
	Oh?
	Well, you're saying that she went there to launch this.
	It worked.
	The media picked it up.
	I have CBS clips saying the same thing.
	They're on her side.
	And you just heard NPR going on about Trump being unhinged.
	It was a huge success.
	Okay, okay.
	No, I'll give you that.
	I'll give you that.
	But it was still a satanic ritual.
	Well, everything that they do is a satanic ritual, so this is being redundant.
	Thank you.
	All right, I'll stop saying it.
	We agree.
	Here's a couple of...
	Here's another one.
	This is a TikTok analysis.
	This is a Harris Bear talker analysis.
	This is somebody who also watched it and came away funny.
	Okay, so the interview with Fox News, Brett, somebody or other, and Kamala Harris just ended.
	And here's the assessment.
	Well, it wasn't actually an interview.
	This Brett guy spent the entire time talking over Kamala Harris.
	My hope is that the level at which He was interrupting her, refusing to allow her to speak, talking over her, running right over her with his list of all of his questions, his queued up video clips.
	Basically, he was using the 25 minutes to indict Kamala Harris on behalf of the viewing audience.
	Every single question, he spent about 15 minutes talking about immigration and would not let her speak, then switched over to the use of public money for gender reassignment in prisons.
	And then the rest of it was, oh, 72% Oh, I can completely see how someone would view it that way.
	That doesn't surprise me at all.
	Right.
	In fact, these things, I think everyone's mind has been made up for a while and this is all just icing on the cake.
	But let's listen, I have two clips from the interview that are kind of okay, but then I have a clip from a different interview that is the direction that Bayer should have gone.
	And I'll tell you, play these two interviews and I'll give you some analysis of what Gutfeld and others felt because they were all jacked up that this was great.
	Oh, well, I mean, and so just what I heard right away.
	Oh, oh, the four staffers were telling him to wrap it up, to wrap it up, to wrap it up.
	Four staffers, four staffers.
	That is the Republican side of the response.
	Let's start with Harris Bear last unstable.
	He's unstable.
	He is unstable, but...
	He's not well.
	You say he's mentally not stable?
	He's not stable.
	Let me ask you this.
	You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that ran around circles on his staff.
	When did you first notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?
	LAUGHTER Joe Biden, I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and he has the judgment and experience to do exactly what he has done in making very important decisions on behalf of the American people.
	There were no concerns raised?
	Joe Biden is not on the ballot.
	I understand.
	She should have answered with that.
	She should have started with that.
	She dreamed that up in the middle of her thought process.
	She actually had a thought process here and she came up with that because this caught her off guard.
	You could tell she was stunned by the question because this is nothing that she's been addressing.
	Wait, let me finish the clip.
	It's your clip.
	I'm sorry.
	I wanted to say she should have started with that.
	It's like, Joe Biden is not on the ballot.
	Joe Biden is not on the ballot.
	I understand.
	And Donald Trump is.
	But you talked about it.
	And Donald Trump is.
	After George Clooney said within a few minutes of talking to President Biden at a fundraiser that he thought this was not the same Joe Biden that we saw on the debate stage.
	Donald Trump is on the ballot.
	I understand.
	You met with him at least once a week for three and a half years.
	You didn't have any concerns?
	I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump, which is why the people who know him best, including leaders of our national security community, have all spoken out, even people who worked for him in the Oval Office, worked with him in the Situation Room, and have said he is unfit.
	And dangerous and should never be president of the United States again, including his former vice president, which is why the job was open for him to choose another running mate.
	So that is a fact.
	That is a fact.
	So I think you're right that this was really an interview to seed the M5M with all kinds of facts that she used.
	And, of course, we know which one stuck.
	But that's...
	I mean, it was all...
	Every answer was about Trump, which is what she's been doing at her rallies and everything, pretty much.
	Yes, and here's the second clip I pulled from this thing.
	This is the Harris-Bear...
	The Trump trans ad.
	He plays the trans ad for her.
	This particular one from the Trump campaign has gotten a lot of attention.
	Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners.
	Surgery.
	For prisoners.
	For prisoners.
	Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.
	So, are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?
	I will follow the law.
	And it's a law that Donald Trump actually followed.
	You're probably familiar with, now it's a public report, that under Donald Trump's administration, these surgeries were available to, on a medical necessity basis, to people in the federal prison system.
	And I think, frankly, that ad from the Trump campaign is a little bit of like throwing stones when you're living in a glass house.
	The Trump aides say that he never advocated for that prison policy and no gender transition surgeries happened during his presidency.
	Well, you know what?
	You've got to take responsibility for what happened in your administration.
	Yeah, no surgeries happened in his presidency.
	It's in black and white.
	Would you still advocate for using taxpayer dollars for gender reassignment surgeries?
	I will follow the law.
	I think Donald Trump would say he did.
	You would have a say as president.
	Like I said, I think he spent $20 million on those ads trying to create a sense of fear in the voters because he actually has no plan in this election that is about focusing on the needs of the American people.
	Whereas, at $20 million on that ad, on an issue that, as it relates to the biggest issues that affect the American people, is really quite remote.
	I bet you the people at Fox are going, when are you spending your one billion, Kamala?
	You got a billion dollars.
	He spent 20 million on that ad.
	Well, the way she says it, he could have called her out on ads don't cost 20 million dollars to produce.
	I think she meant the ad buy.
	That's not what she said.
	No, okay.
	He could call her out on all the stuff that she says is not what she meant.
	Oh, that's what I meant.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait, now you're disappointed somehow in Brett Baer?
	Yeah.
	I've been very...
	The whole thing was like this.
	And here's what I finally concluded, because it seems as if what they did was listen to her speeches over and over and decided to grill her on stuff that she already had rehearsed.
	And so her rehearsed lines came out, and they would talk about this.
	Even Gutfeld talked about how...
	Good trigger.
	Sorry?
	Good trigger.
	Good way to get her to say what you want is just trigger her with the stuff she's rehearsed.
	Yes, but that's all she did, was she just said the same rehearsed material, and once in a while she'd go out.
	They rarely, and she did come up with some good stuff, like Trump's not, or Biden's not on the ballot, when he could have countered that, by the way, when she said, well, Biden's not on the ballot, he says, I'm not talking about who's on the ballot.
	He should have said, I'm not talking about who's on the ballot.
	But again, John, I mean, let's not be disappointed in the mainstream media.
	This is what they do.
	They suck, including Fox.
	I'm just, I'm just, It could be done better, is what I'm saying.
	Of course.
	Now, so let's go to, and what he should have done, instead of going along with the program and looking at what she'd already said and then asking her about what she'd already said that she already had rehearsed, which made for a boring back and forth, it was terrible, that no matter what anyone thinks, that Brett, oh, Brett, oh, Fox, you went to Fox, blah, blah, blah.
	On a podcast, I want to play this clip.
	This is Harris with Soledad O'Brien.
	Oh, we know Soledad.
	We know Soledad.
	We know Soledad.
	Now here's what Brett should have done, what Soledad did, which is ask off-the-wall questions and let her go off.
	This is an unbelievable clip.
	This is a classic, and he could have done that.
	Instead of...
	It was almost as though it was planned, let's ask her questions that she has already rehearsed the answer to a million times.
	Let's go ask those questions again.
	Let's ask the same questions, which he in fact did, the same questions that were asked on 60 Minutes about, you know, how many people came across the border.
	No, no, no.
	He should have done what Soledad simply did, which is let her ramble about stuff that's just off the wall.
	Listen to this.
	That's it.
	Is agreeing to voter ID one of those compromises that you'd support?
	I don't think that we should underestimate what that could mean.
	Because in some people's mind, that means, well, you're going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove you are who you are.
	Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don't.
	There's no kinkos.
	There's no office mats near them.
	People have to understand that when we're talking about voter ID laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of them to prove who they are.
	Of course people have to prove who they are.
	But not in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they are.
	You know, we're so used to her.
	Here, I'll give you an example.
	She was on Charlemagne the God, and Charlemagne brought in a reverend, and she's like, oh, I grew up in the black church.
	I grew up in the black church in Canada.
	I grew up in the black church.
	Oh, yeah.
	In Canada, right.
	Yeah, I grew up in the black church.
	The black church.
	Oh, it's right near you, the 23rd Avenue Church of God in Oakland.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so she went to the black church because that's what you do when you're black.
	We all know that.
	Whenever you're in trouble, you go to the church.
	And here's what she said.
	Because what we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see but must know.
	Amen, sister.
	She's vapid.
	Yes, and the Soledad question, which was just, what do you think about voter ID? And she goes off about kinkos, and you have to mail in, where do you have to mail in a photocopy of anything?
	And it's just like, what are you talking about?
	Is the way, if Brett Baer, if they had a clue at Fox...
	Which you, I mean, you have to go along with your theory on this, which is just really a bunch of Democrats in disguise.
	Yeah.
	And they're not going to do anything that's aggressive.
	As opposed to Soledad, who's just, you know, kind of asking rando questions and letting her talk.
	Yeah.
	It's like, you know, she's just going to dig herself a hole as opposed to what she's already used to talking about.
	This Bret Baier interview was a disaster.
	Yeah.
	I'm glad you got that off your chest.
	I mean, and I agree with you.
	I was just like, okay, I didn't understand why it was done, you know, other than to give the mainstream media some fuel to say Trump is going to come after you.
	It also says that, oh, I have the guts to go on Fox.
	I think there was an element to that because, you know, well, you know, Trump's been doing this and that.
	Oh, I went on Fox.
	Okay, well, that's out of the way.
	Checkbox.
	Did you hear, by any chance, Carville?
	Well, I heard him last week.
	Oh, no, no.
	You have to hear Carvel on the new Very Fine People hoax, on the enemy from within.
	And he's on Psaki's show, who's sitting there like she just dumped a turd in her pampers.
	What day was this?
	I don't have the date, but it's after this interview, so it's in the last few days.
	After the Bayer interview.
	No.
	No.
	Before the Bear interview, after the Bartiromo, the money on the interview.
	Okay.
	Because it's about the enemy from within.
	And why anyone lets Carvel on the air anymore is a riddle.
	It's a mystery to me.
	Does he have any political clout?
	Is he important anymore?
	No.
	He doesn't work for anybody.
	He just comes on as a kind of a loose cannon.
	I think that's why they bring him on for entertainment purposes.
	Well, he takes it to a whole new level.
	Now, mind you, on the Maria interview, right after the Enemy From Within, she says, hey, you've booked Madison Square Garden.
	And he's like, oh yeah, we're going to have a good time in Madison Square Garden.
	I always wanted to play Madison Square Garden.
	He's like, yeah, Madison Square Garden.
	Now listen to Carville.
	I did not realize when I said that, that he would actually go on television and say, I'm going to use the military to round up my political enemies.
	Yeah.
	When I said that, General Flynn, who's going to be very senior in this administration, didn't say that the gates of hell will rain on my political enemies.
	When I said that, I didn't know that he was going to schedule a rally in Madison Square Garden to mimic the Nazi rally of February 1939.
	So we have, they're telling you, and by the way, if they win, they're going to correctly say, we told you in the election what we were going to do, and you voted for us, you have green-lighted the whole thing.
	And if we don't tell people about that, if they don't, if these young black men, how do you think they're going to do, if you're a young black male and Trump-inspired army roundup of people, how well do you think you're going to do in that?
	You think you got nothing to lose?
	How about looking at American history for one time and see what can happen here?
	And they are telling you.
	We're not making this up.
	This is not...
	We can be fact-checked by anybody.
	They have promised military roundup.
	They've promised the gates of hell will rain on the enemies.
	The Supreme Court has green-lighted it.
	They were asked a question.
	If a...
	Navy SEAL is ordered to assassinate a political...
	Hold on a second.
	This is great.
	The Supreme Court has green-lighted it.
	He throws that in.
	Yes, yes, and you can fact-check me.
	Fact-check false.
	They round up.
	They promise the gates of hell will rain on the enemies.
	The Supreme Court has green-lighted it.
	They will ask the question, if a...
	Navy SEAL is ordered to assassinate a political enemy.
	President King, there's nothing wrong with that.
	That's just part of his job.
	They are telling you they're doing all of this.
	Pay attention to them right now.
	Please.
	They're telling you.
	It's...
	Exactly.
	That is exactly what he's saying.
	That is why I think Harris is telling people to watch his rallies.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Oh, man.
	You know what?
	I did hear parts of that because I remember him saying that...
	The Nazi rallies?
	The Nazi rally because, you know, Madison Square Garden is...
	This is insane.
	Yes, it's great.
	That's the worst, because now her ratings are next to nothing, so nobody's...
	I saw it.
	I saw it.
	The true believers watch.
	Yeah, you saw it as a...
	Of course.
	Of course.
	As a research watch.
	Yes, hello.
	Oh!
	The insanity of this guy...
	And why?
	I mean, nothing left.
	And his Louisiana accent is off the rails.
	It's gone so bad.
	You can barely understand him.
	He sounds like a dummy.
	He sounds like one of those guys, which brings back the point of why they have this guy on.
	He sounds like somebody always pointed this out to me.
	Some Texas person said to me, you know, they always put the dumbest people they can find on television when they're representing the South.
	Yes.
	So when you have like a bad situation, CBS will bring on somebody, well, you know, the way I say it, the way the government coming in, they make it sound like the guy's an idiot.
	Why would Carville sounds like one of those guys?
	Well, he is.
	He sounds like the local idiot.
	He is!
	What he's saying is idiotic, so he is.
	What am I thinking?
	Yes, he is.
	He is one of those with the accent and an idiot.
	The Supreme Court green-lit it.
	Supreme Court green-lit it.
	Do you remember?
	It was a question from the lawyer who said, so if a Green Beret, can he order a Green Beret to a...
	This was asinine.
	Completely unhinged and crazy.
	And I'm just going to say...
	They want him to win.
	They want him to win.
	And it was actually Muhammad Ali, who...
	Someone sent me this clip.
	It's 45 seconds.
	And back in the day, Muhammad Ali was asked, you know, people say, hey, people want you to be president.
	You want to be president?
	So just replace the word black here with orange.
	Would you like to be president?
	No.
	No?
	No, sir.
	Too dangerous, sir.
	Like, in other words, here's a ship.
	People are dancing on the ship.
	A lot of money's on the ship.
	A lot of food's on the ship.
	And I cannot integrate on the ship.
	I cannot have equality on the ship.
	I'm just in the galley working.
	And I never could get up and see the captain of the ship.
	Now, all of a sudden, the man tells me, Say, come on down.
	I'll leave you out of the galley.
	I want you to come up here and, here, have something to drink.
	What do you want?
	And giving me number one spot.
	From the galley to the number one spot.
	I said, this ship must be sinking.
	Why is he sinking?
	Exactly.
	Oh, that's a great clip with that perspective.
	The ship must be sinking.
	This is an amazing thing that someone sent me this morning.
	This is an outlet called Straight Arrow News from time to time.
	Yes, I've heard of them.
	It's promoted by a number of right-wingers.
	Well, not many people send me this.
	And they don't have a lot of views, so I'm not quite sure who's funding them.
	But this is now the government, FBI specifically, putting this information out.
	Two weeks from Election Day.
	This, to me, if anyone picks this up and runs with it, this is an October surprise right here.
	The FBI has revised its crime data from 2022, first reporting a 2.1% decrease in violent crime, now revealing a 4.5% increase.
	The increase from 2021 to 2022 in each crime category is depicted here.
	The revision includes 80,000 more incidents of violent crime than previously reported, 1,699 more murders, 7,780 more rapes, and more than 33,000 robberies and 37,000 aggravated assaults.
	The FBI released this new data without formally announcing the changes, noting only on its website that the 2022 violent crime rate had been updated.
	The discovery was first highlighted by John Lott, an American economist and political commentator.
	The revised data is all publicly available.
	I mean, wow, this is big.
	I know, and it also brings into question David Muir's commentary.
	Yes, fact check.
	His fact check, yeah.
	Yeah, the fact check.
	That he stopped the debate to fact check.
	Said, no, crime's down.
	And the Democrats have been going on and on and on about crime being down.
	I had it at the dinner table the other day.
	Crime's down.
	Oh, man.
	From your kids, it's harsh.
	It's harsh with your kids.
	It's harsh.
	Because you just want to whip them, don't you?
	No, they're worth arguing with.
	Well, take this clip to the next dinner table.
	That'll work.
	That'll show them, those whippersnappers.
	I can't show them anything.
	I do have a series of campaign overview clips from CBS. Okay.
	Which tend to...
	Which tend to show the attitude...
	I still think CBS has been cut loose.
	From the CIA, you mean?
	Because I don't think they're read in anymore.
	Well, maybe they're in for Trump?
	No, I don't know.
	It's just...
	Oh, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	They're trying to be fair and balanced.
	Oh, that makes sense.
	No, they're not.
	They're not trying to be fair and balanced, but the way they're going...
	Well, before we do that, let's just play this.
	This is a clip that was from the On Point show that's on PBS about flip-floppers.
	They went and interviewed a bunch of people on the street.
	Oh, man on the street.
	Warning, warning, Will Robinson.
	Well, we know this is a bunch of bullcrap, but I just want to play this because of the milieu.
	Tell me that this guy...
	That there's just some rando.
	Doesn't sound like walls.
	Second time you're using rando, just letting you know.
	Thank you.
	I really like the word rando.
	I like saying hello, but I'm stopping myself.
	Well, I'll minimize rando.
	Okay, alright.
	But I don't know if I want to really stop it like, hello!
	Thanks.
	Rub it in.
	Rub it in!
	It's a brain problem.
	Because I'm just listening to this.
	What milieu is walls a part of?
	Touchdown Timmy.
	Except maybe, I don't know, I'm just very skeptical about it.
	But when I heard this, I said, wow, this guy's in the same milieu.
	It sounds exactly the same.
	Just play it.
	Who says he still needs to know more about Kamala Harris.
	Her style is great.
	I just wish I could really learn more.
	And because of that, I'm not going to give her my full 100% because I just have to learn more.
	See how things are, you know, going to fall out with this.
	How the vice presidents too?
	Yeah, if I was a vice president doing the whole thing, hands down.
	Okay, yeah, Vance scares the stuff out of me.
	Well, am I wrong?
	Are you insinuating the gay milieu?
	It's a type of gay I'm unfamiliar with, because in the San Francisco Bay Area...
	Oh, no, you have flamboyant gays.
	It's different.
	Gays present as kind of, I'd say, stereotypes.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yes.
	Not all of them.
	Yes.
	I mean, there's plenty of closeted gays that are just, or not even closeted, but they just act normal.
	Yeah.
	But yes, the flamboyant types.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I'm sorry.
	I know he's...
	Yes, you should be.
	But he definitely sucks when it comes to hunting.
	What was that?
	He can't even load his own gun.
	What was that?
	With a Beretta.
	With a Beretta.
	Oh, this is a Beretta.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to blast them out of the sky.
	Okay, let's go with Trump.
	Campaign Trump.
	This is CBS reporting.
	There's two clips reporting on Trump.
	Trump's part on the campaign.
	I want you to listen to the following.
	It's got a negative intonation, which will contrast greatly with the positive intonation they give to Harris.
	I'm Nora O'Donnell.
	We're gonna begin tonight with the race for president.
	And new questions about the mental health and behavior of former President Donald Trump.
	President Biden campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday said Trump has become unhinged.
	Referring to a campaign event this week where Trump swayed to music for 40 minutes.
	Trump, now 78, would be the oldest person to become president, but he is refusing to disclose his medical records, which is something presidential nominees traditionally do.
	In a town hall aimed at courting women last night, Trump made numerous false and strange statements, including claiming to be the father of in vitro fertilization.
	We also have new reporting tonight on the Harris campaign, including her new outreach to Republicans looking for an alternative to Trump.
	CBS's Nicole Killian is going to lead us off with more on Donald Trump and what his team is saying tonight.
	We really are the party for IVF. We want fertilization and it's all the way.
	Tonight, former President Donald Trump under fire after making this strange claim about in vitro fertilization to an all-female town hall.
	Oh, I want to talk about IVF. I'm the father of IVF, so I want to hear this question.
	He made the claim less than 90 seconds before admitting Alabama Senator Katie Britt had explained it to him.
	I said, explain IVF very quickly, and within about two minutes I understood it.
	Oh, wow, he said, he lied.
	He is not a scientist.
	He didn't create IVF. He's the father of nothing.
	Oh, man.
	Okay.
	So they built a whole story around this?
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	No, and there's some more, but the fact is they're hounding him about him saying that, which obviously wasn't serious.
	But I have to say, when I hear them say Harris is out there trying to be an alternative, that puts her in a secondary position.
	The way they said that.
	Harris is out there trying to say an alternative.
	You know what I mean?
	I'm more along the lines of the intonation here.
	This is, like, very negative.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then when we get to the two Harris clips, these are balanced.
	Let's go with Trump, too.
	This is the second part of this report.
	The procedure has been around for nearly 50 years.
	An official with the Trump campaign told CBS News the former president was simply reaffirming his support and made the comments in jest.
	But it was no laughing matter for his opponent, the vice president.
	Donald Trump, I found it to be quite bizarre, actually, he called himself the father of IVF. And if what he meant is taking responsibility, well, then yeah, he should take responsibility for the fact that one in three women in America lives in a Trump abortion ban state.
	In another town hall geared toward Latino voters, the former president also resurrected debunked claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets, but took them a step further.
	I was just saying what was reported.
	That's been reported.
	And eating other things, too, that they're not supposed to be.
	But this is, all I do is report.
	I have not, I was there, I'm going to be there, and we're going to take a look, and I'll give you a full report what I do.
	Matt, along with his recent behavior, including dancing on stage, has led Harris to question what she calls his unstable behavior.
	Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on Trump to release his medical records after Harris released hers this weekend.
	Trump told CBS two months ago he would make them public.
	You are now the oldest candidate in this race.
	Will you release your medical records?
	Sure, I do.
	I just had a medical exam and I had a perfect score.
	The Jump campaign recently released a vaguely worded letter and other information from his doctors.
	Meantime, the former president is getting a big fundraising boost tonight, pulling in about $220 million over the last quarter from a trio of billionaire donors, including Elon Musk.
	Nora?
	Nicole Killian in Atlanta, thank you.
	They're eating the dogs!
	I just love that ISO. Okay, yeah, so he dances on stage, which he was doing to fill up time because people had medical emergencies.
	Somebody almost died at the event.
	Yeah, so he's like, oh, let's just turn, and the cue was good.
	He says, let's play it loud, and they played it right away.
	That was pretty impressive.
	Someone was on the wheels of steel, good to go.
	Something else I've noticed, you see this with people that do, including certain podcasters, that have inappropriate laughter.
	Yes?
	Many podcasters, sure.
	People that, with inappropriate laughter, have always been convinced to have no sense of humor, and so they laugh at a lot of stuff, thinking, well, maybe it's funny and I better laugh because, you know...
	And Kamala does this.
	She has a...
	That stupid laugh.
	She laughs all the time.
	But she has obviously, if you listen to her, she has zero sense of humor or even irony.
	She has none of that.
	She has no sense of humor at all.
	So she just laughs a lot.
	And shares a secret.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Back to CBS. So they've done trashing Trump for being unhinged again.
	Yes.
	This guy's been unhinged since 2015.
	How come they didn't bring in the enemy from within?
	On this report, they didn't for some reason.
	I have no idea.
	They brought it in, believe me.
	But now we go to campaign Harris, clip one.
	Let's turn now to Battleground, Pennsylvania, where Vice President Kamala Harris launched a new push today to win the support of Republicans, including with an interview on Fox News, where she said if elected, her presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden's.
	We get more now from CBS's Robert Costa.
	I am joined today by over 100 Republican leaders.
	With current and former Republican officials on hand, Vice President Harris lambasted former President Donald Trump for saying, if elected, he would take on the, quote, enemy within.
	He says that as Commander-in-Chief, he would use our military to go after them.
	Honestly, let that sink in.
	Use?
	Of the American military?
	To go after American citizens?
	Harris also asked the crowd to consider comments from former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley.
	Donald Trump's top general, he has called Trump, and I quote, fascist to the core, and said, quote, no one has ever been as dangerous to this country.
	Mark Milley, who forced COVID shots on his troops.
	He's hated.
	He's hated.
	Let's go back to what she just said.
	Quote.
	She's not quoting Mark Milley.
	No.
	She's quoting Woodward's book.
	Yes, yes!
	Good point.
	It's secondhand information.
	Woodward says he said this, but the way she presents it is, oh, Mark Milley said, quote, no, he didn't.
	He hasn't denied it.
	He may have said it.
	Good point.
	Fair point.
	And CBS said nothing.
	Well, no.
	It was pointed out in other reports, and Fox, when they played some of this, they mentioned that this is a quote from the Woodward book, which we've debunked partly in the last show, with our note from the guy who sells PCR tests, machines and Russia always had them.
	And so Trump wasn't sending them to Russia.
	That was bull crap.
	So I think the whole book may be a fraud.
	No.
	No.
	Say it's not so.
	What?
	Gambling?
	Say it's not so.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	You mean the book that comes out just in time and is really about Joe Biden?
	But at the very end of the book...
	But slams Trump left and right?
	Yes.
	Oh, okay.
	Do you think it's possible at this point that people at CBS, and with all of this noise, certainly from...
	You know, the media about this enemy from within.
	You heard waltz coming after journalists.
	Do you think that people within these organizations might actually start to believe this?
	Yeah, I think so.
	They're already lost.
	I'm very sad about that.
	They could easily believe it.
	But on the other hand, if you're going to go on your thesis, we have one more clip to play.
	If we're going to go on your thesis that the whole thing is designed to put Trump in office, doesn't this idea that the American military is going to go after the Republic creating a danger and Trump's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous...
	Is a reflection of your basic thesis that you love to bring up about the cigarette packs?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	The more danger, the better it is.
	Vote for him.
	He's dangerous.
	Smoke this.
	It'll kill you.
	That's scientifically proven.
	I mean, is that in play?
	That's a possibility.
	I'm with you on that.
	I mean, I've said from way back, they want him to win.
	You've been saying this ever since I've known you.
	No, what I'm saying is they want him to win.
	They want him in.
	No, yes, they want him to win.
	The cigarette thing...
	Because the ship is sinking.
	The ship is sinking.
	Put the orange man on the bridge.
	Let me just review this.
	Study showed...
	And this was mainly in the UK and in the Netherlands.
	I know that they did that as well.
	On cigarette packs, they would put horrible pictures of black lungs and people with holes in their throats.
	And people would buy these packs and go, hey, I'll trade you a black lung for a hole in the throat.
	And they loved it.
	They were buying more cigarettes than ever.
	And of course, the tobacco company is like, oh, let's do more of this.
	So that's a distinct possibility.
	I took a trip to Europe one year when this was in play.
	Because they never did this here.
	They just had the warning label.
	They never put horrible pictures.
	And I saw these pictures.
	My God!
	It was great.
	I guess it was like trading cards.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	People were trading them out.
	It was a big joke.
	So here's the second half of the Harris analysis from CBS. But again, it's...
	It's interesting.
	It's couched in a very positive way.
	The Trump stuff's in a negative way.
	I mean, maybe the idea is just the...
	I don't know, but let's play this and figure it out.
	Today's rally was in Bucks County, a key suburban Philadelphia battleground, where the campaign hopes to peel off Republican voters, especially women.
	I urge you to make the conservative choice.
	Vote for our bedrock values and vote for Kamala Harris.
	We spoke to long-time national GOP strategist Jennifer Horne, now backing Harris.
	If there is an issue that's flipping women towards Vice President Harris, what is it?
	Well, it's definitely the overturn of Roe v Wade.
	And not just because it's about abortion, but because it's an attack on women's rights, on women's autonomy.
	In that rare Fox News interview tonight, Harris said definitively that she would be a different president than Joe Biden.
	Let me be very clear.
	My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency.
	And like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas.
	I represent a new generation of leadership.
	While there is energy here in the suburbs today, some Democrats privately tell CBS News they're concerned about the energy in the city of Philadelphia and want to make sure those core Democratic voters are ready to turn out in November.
	Nora.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, there was very difference in tone, but I'm not surprised.
	I mean, the entire media is against Trump, including Fox News, if you really analyze it.
	Yes, this is another thesis that I have to agree with.
	So I want to play a couple things here.
	Season of reveal.
	Bill Clinton confirms, and not only confirms it, this is what the New York bankers always said, immigration is good, we need it, we need to open these borders.
	Not only did he confirm this thesis, he used the R word.
	A new direction to manage.
	An immigration crisis in a tough time where there's all this upheaval all over the world, where there are border problems all over the world, where millions of people are trying to escape the misery they're in, and other people are saying, well, I want to do what I can and take what I can, but maybe there's a limit to how much we can do.
	In other words, I don't think Americans are anti-immigration, they're anti-chaos.
	Wow.
	They don't want us to do more than we can, but they recognize, at least most people do, we got the lowest birth rate we've had in well over a hundred years.
	We're not at replacement level, which means we've got to have somebody come here if we want to keep growing the economy.
	Unless one of you is one of these artificial intelligence geniuses and figured out how we can all grow with no work.
	Thank you, Bill.
	We're not at replacement level yet.
	These borders, we've got to open them back up again.
	Replacement.
	We need replacement.
	It's disgusting.
	More reveal.
	And I love this.
	The Aurora City Council had a little meeting, and exactly what we've been saying about this entire immigration scam, which really is much more a legal human trafficking scam, with huge non-governmental organizations and non-profits, many of them faith-based, Making tons of money over placement, placement of newcomers.
	We just need to retrace our steps and find out what happened, and we need to make sure it never happens again.
	Aurora City Council moving forward with a proposal to investigate which non-profits the state and city of Denver worked Now, the city of Denver says it did not send any immigrants to Aurora.
	This proposal passed Council 6-2, and council members say the purpose is to learn how many people were sent to Aurora, what promises, if any, were made to them, and whether background checks were conducted.
	Whether it's the city, county, Denver, whether it's the state, should not impact a local jurisdiction without at least informing that jurisdiction what they're doing.
	They did not.
	They did not.
	And they use nonprofits as a mechanism to do this.
	Mm-hmm.
	Now, the two members who voted against it say this is going to put vulnerable groups at risk.
	Now, we also asked the governor's office if the state sent immigrants to Aurora.
	We have not gotten a response to that question.
	Of course they did.
	Of course they did.
	This is the whole scam.
	Nonprofits.
	That is the biggest scam that we need to clean up.
	All this money that Congress approves, which goes to these cut-out nonprofits and NGOs, and they do all the dirty work.
	They do all the dirty work.
	And we've been talking about this for a long time.
	At least over a decade.
	So, Trump, the most impressive stuff he's done is...
	You really have to sit down and watch it.
	He did the Chicago Economic Club.
	He did the Detroit Economic Club.
	He did the Bloomberg sit-down interview.
	His ideas...
	About tariffs and, in essence, taking China's playbook and saying, okay, 200% tariffs, but you want zero tariffs, then just build your factories here in the United States.
	And he has good answers for a lot of these things.
	Good answers.
	And so I'm not going to play a whole bunch of things from...
	You know, from the actual speech.
	You have to go and watch it.
	You have to spend the time because of the weave.
	You know, the weave.
	The weave makes it impossible to clip Trump.
	It really does make it impossible to clip him.
	It does.
	It actually makes him less clippable.
	Yes, very much so.
	So here is a little clip of him with the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg who hates Trump.
	Oh, that guy's a dick.
	Mick Oathwaite.
	A British dick.
	Yeah.
	Trump just ran circles around him the whole time.
	Yes, you're going to find some people who would gain from individual tariffs.
	The overall effect could be massive.
	I agree.
	I agree it's going to have a massive effect.
	Positive effect.
	It's going to be a positive, not a negative.
	Let me just...
	No, no, let me...
	I know how committed you are to this.
	It must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you're totally wrong.
	It'll have a negative...
	It will have...
	I'll go a step further.
	If you don't do this, this country has no chance.
	40 million jobs is a lot of jobs to rely on trade.
	They're all coming back.
	You've lost...
	Those are 40 million jobs in America that rely on trade.
	Are you ready?
	John Deere, a great company, they announced about a year ago they're going to build big plants outside of the United States, right?
	They're going to build them in Mexico.
	And you threatened them with tariffs and they stopped.
	That's right.
	I said...
	If John Deere builds those plants, they're not selling anything into the United States.
	They just announced yesterday they're probably not going to build the plants, okay?
	I kept the jobs here.
	Now, you made an excellent point a couple of weeks back.
	You said, how can he do this?
	We have the USMCA, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
	How can he sit there and say, I'm going to put these huge tariffs on anything coming in from Mexico?
	And at the time I was like, yeah, you make a good point there.
	How is he going to do that?
	He actually explained this at the Detroit Economic Club.
	And to that end, I'm announcing today that upon taking office, I will formally notify Mexico and Canada of my intention to invoke the six-year renegotiation provisions of the USMCA that I put in.
	That was the hardest thing I had to get.
	They didn't want that.
	They wanted to have it...
	But I wanted to, because there's always like little tricks they want to play.
	And I said, nope, I want to be able to renegotiate in six years, otherwise we're not making the deal.
	And I got it, and it's coming due very soon.
	Oh, I'm going to have a lot of fun.
	And that will address these concerns.
	And it will also seek strong new protections against trans shipments so that China and other countries cannot smuggle their products and auto parts into the United States tax free through Mexico.
	Thank you.
	To the detriment of our workers and our supply chains.
	So this is really interesting because when this clause was put in, of course, at the table, everyone was like, okay, do whatever.
	Even if you get a second term, we won't have to deal with you when this renegotiation comes up because it comes up in 2026.
	I read, under the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement, review clause on July 1st, 2026, the U.S., Mexico and Canada...
	We'll confirm in writing whether or not to continue the agreement.
	If one or more of the three parties decide to make the step of not renewing the agreement, it will kick off a process that will leave the future of the USMCA in a state of uncertainty for years to come.
	That is, unless the objecting party or parties change their mind.
	Even though the six-year review is still more than two years away at the time of this writing from, I forget which think tank it was, the uncertainty provided by the review clause is already a significant preoccupation for business communities in all three countries.
	He's claiming, and I tend to believe him, that he put that in.
	I believe him.
	That's fantastic.
	That's a fabulous idea.
	Yeah.
	And now it comes due as if he knew...
	It's a poison pill.
	Yeah, poison pill.
	That's exactly right.
	And he's really interesting in these economic club interviews.
	I mean, I was listening to another one.
	It was a...
	Actually, it was a...
	He was just...
	Oh, he was talking about the Boeing plane, you know, about the Air Force One and how they came in 5.7 billion.
	He said to the guy, he said, no, I want a three in that number.
	And you come back when you got a three.
	And he says, the best way to get the price down is not calling back.
	And, you know, he got the done.
	He said, These deals that are done by people, very stupid people, or they're corrupt.
	And he says, I think they're corrupt.
	They must all be taking kickbacks.
	And that's what he does.
	He does deals.
	And it's not hard.
	It's just don't be corrupt.
	The deals aren't that hard to do.
	And by the way, I want to remind you what was brought up at the beginning of the show.
	Raytheon to pay nearly $1 billion for defrauding DOD, allegedly bribing Qatari officials.
	That's corruption.
	Yes.
	But that's not how it plays on ABC Good Morning America.
	Former President Trump was in Chicago yesterday at the Economic Club, repeating false claims about the January 6th election, refusing to say whether he's spoken to Vladimir Putin since he left office.
	Chief Washington correspondent John Carl has the details.
	Good morning, John.
	Good morning, George.
	In his interview before the Economic Club of Chicago, Donald Trump referred to January 6th, the day when his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory as, quote, a day of love and peace.
	Asked whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power after this election, Donald Trump pointed to the last one, insisting it was peaceful.
	And bizarrely saying January 6th was a day of love and peace.
	And falsely saying the police invited the rioters into the Capitol building.
	It was love.
	We have video to show that.
	Falsely, falsely.
	Some people went to the Capitol and a lot of strange things happened there.
	A lot of strange things with people being waved into the Capitol by police, with people screaming, go in, that never got into trouble.
	The reality, nearly 500 people have been charged.
	...with assaulting police officers on January 6th, nearly half of them pleading guilty or being convicted at trial.
	The former president also defended his plan to impose new tariffs on products imported into the United States.
	That is going to push up the cost for all those people who want to buy foreign goods.
	That is just simple mathematics, President Trump.
	It is, but not the way you figured.
	I was always very good at mathematics.
	I mean, I would say to everyone, go take a look at those hour-long talks or hour and a half.
	They're pretty good.
	He's saying some sensible stuff there.
	And for those who don't understand the weave, why it's hard to clip, Trump goes off on these tangents, and then he talks about all kinds of different stuff, and then he brings...
	It's like everything's a shaggy dog story.
	Yeah, but very long, and then he brings it back to the answer, and he calls it the weave.
	I call it the weave, and it's horrible for this show.
	It's horrible.
	And if he becomes president, I am going to call him on it.
	One more from John Carl, because of course we can't leave out the enemy from within!
	And John, the closer we get to the election, the former president's rhetoric taking an even darker turn.
	He's calling his Democratic opponents the enemy within, promising to prosecute them, even suggesting turning the military on them.
	George, Trump has continued to refer to his political opponents as the enemy within, saying they pose more of a threat to the country.
	His political opponents.
	Do you hear this?
	It's a lie.
	John Carl is a liar.
	This is the three networks...
	Are just filled with these people that are...
	They have to know they're lying or they're just delusional.
	Yeah.
	I think that they don't even look at the interview.
	You know, I showed it to Tina and I showed her the...
	She actually got it right off the bat.
	She's like, oh, that's Antifa.
	She got it correct right off the bat.
	It took me a second to say, is he talking about immigrants or what is he talking about?
	But if the word is just out there, this is the milieu.
	The word is out.
	The word is he said this.
	Very fine people.
	You know, bloodbath.
	I think they believe it.
	That's another one.
	Yeah, they believe it and they just run with it.
	And the masters behind the scenes, whoever it is, Obama, they got to talk to him about him in a second, too.
	They just run with it, run with it, run with it.
	Oh, we got something.
	Let's just go with this.
	Trump has continued to refer to his political opponents as the enemy within, saying they pose more of a threat to the country than criminals illegally crossing the border or Russia or China.
	In fact, this is something that he has continued to do even yesterday in a town hall meeting in Georgia.
	He said this, quote...
	We have China, we have Russia, we have all these countries.
	If you have a smart president, they can be handled.
	The more difficult are, you know, the Pelosi's.
	These people, they're so sick, they're so evil.
	That's the way he's talking about his political opponents.
	He's repeated it again.
	This is absolutely unprecedented in American history, talking about using the military in this way.
	John Cole, thanks very much.
	With the Clintonista there doing the alley-oop, it's unbelievable.
	No, it's not.
	I mean, why am I even saying that?
	It's not unbelievable.
	Unprecedented is bullcrap.
	No, of course.
	But, I mean, these people are just lying.
	It's great.
	It's great for the show.
	And I think I might have to do an emergency pod with Mo.
	Emergency pod.
	We need to do an emergency pod, Mo.
	Emergency.
	Emergency pod.
	Because it's come down to the black men.
	It's come down to the black men.
	And somehow Kamala Harris thinks black men want to...
	This is only what I've heard.
	I haven't seen the written policy, but the meme that's out there is legalize marijuana because black men love weed.
	By the way, this idea of...
	I can't imagine being a black guy and having this notion that you'll be satisfied with everything.
	You'll be back in the fold of the Democrat Party if they legalize weed because you're a bunch of stoner losers.
	I mean, again, I haven't seen the written policy.
	I'm going to read it because there's Also something about crypto.
	We're going to protect black men from crypto.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Scary cryptos.
	No, not from crypto.
	No, I've heard analysis of it.
	And there is the analysis from the Bitcoin community, at least, is black men get scammed by crypto scams more than white men.
	Yeah, it's more like that than we're going to buy Bitcoin for you?
	What is it?
	No, no, no, no.
	My understanding from the other, from not that perspective, not the Bitcoin community, if you're such a thing, is that it was to protect the crypto situation in general because blacks, for some reason, I don't know how this works.
	Don't know how to buy Bitcoin.
	No, they're all in on Bitcoin.
	Okay, yeah.
	No, I don't think so.
	They should be.
	I don't think so either.
	They should be.
	But they are in on pot.
	They all need to be stoned.
	Give me a break.
	And the third one was they're going to give $20,000 forgivable loans to black entrepreneurs.
	That's illegal in America.
	That's just illegal.
	She can't do that.
	That's illegal.
	It is illegal.
	It's illegal.
	So, this is what Moe would call the boule phone call.
	The boule phone rang.
	The boule is the...
	I don't know if you've heard him talk about it, but that is the black Illuminati.
	Charlemagne the God gets calls from them all the time, who sets them straight.
	And this is an actor, I forget his name.
	Black actor.
	And he spoke out against Obama the way Obama was talking to the black men.
	And whoops!
	Former President Obama struck a national nerve when he said this about black men.
	You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses.
	I'm speaking to men directly.
	Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.
	Kendall Pierce, who is still with us at the table, says that Obama is wrong.
	And he tweeted this initially.
	The party has to stop scapegoating black men.
	Black men are not the problem.
	And then there was a phone call.
	So what happened?
	Well, I've known the president for years now.
	Obama called him on it.
	And a mutual contact said that he wanted to speak, I wanted to speak to him.
	I didn't offer it as a criticism.
	For me, it was nothing more than strategists in a room saying, hey, what is the best messaging for black men?
	I have...
	I focused the past six weeks of going around the country with a barbershop campaign, right?
	Going to barbershops to talk to black men since I heard...
	Which is probably the right way to do it.
	Every election cycle they always say that black men are siphoned off.
	And I found the most effective way to communicate to the men in those gatherings was saying, what do you want?
	Vote for what you want.
	Declare what your values are.
	And then go out and make the choice on that.
	Don't consider my candidate.
	Well, that's wrong!
	Or the other candidate.
	Vote for what you want.
	And I found it to be effective.
	What they would say is, what are you doing here?
	This is the first time someone came and asked that of me.
	And so, I was saying, simply, that's not the way to get to folks.
	What I've experienced in the past six weeks is the facts.
	Folks want to see, what have you delivered?
	Did he acknowledge that it was not delivered The right way?
	No.
	We actually didn't get into...
	It just went on and on and on and on.
	So Obama's out there calling the black actors, hey, get on board, get on the ship.
	Ugh.
	And then Kamala on Charlemagne.
	And this is a big one that I learned from Mo.
	And this stood out.
	We've talked about this in the show so many times.
	Reparations.
	My question to you is...
	And by the way, every white person who posted about this misinterpreted the real gaffe that she made.
	My question to you is, what's your stance on reparations?
	We all know that America became great, you know, off the backs of free black labor.
	How progressive are you on making it a priority and righting America's wrongs?
	It's understood that you are running for president for all people of America.
	Asking for specifics for black communities doesn't mean, don't do for others, but black Americans are heavily asked to vote Democrat in every election for over half a century, with very little in return.
	What are your plans?
	To address these very important issues and change that narrative.
	Thank you, Z. I appreciate that.
	Thank you.
	And thank you for your work.
	So, to your point, yes, I am running to be a president for all Americans.
	That being said, I do have clear eyes about the disparities that exist and the context in which they exist, meaning history, to your point.
	So my agenda, well, first of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied.
	There's no question about that.
	We've done a million studies!
	It has to be studied more.
	It's always a study.
	They never say, oh yeah, reparations.
	No, oh, we've got to do a study.
	That's what Maxine Waters did.
	They all do studies.
	And no black man is going to fall for that nonsense anymore.
	Well, not anymore.
	No.
	Maybe after the first time.
	I mean, you listen to our black brothers and they say, hey, you know, we thought Obama would do right by us because at least he had Michelle.
	You know, we knew he wasn't black, but Michelle's black.
	And then, all right, oh, don't worry, we'll get you in the second term, and then we got to gender-neutral bathrooms.
	So, no, no.
	That's what it amounted to, right.
	The entire Obama administration amounted to gender-neutral bathrooms in North Carolina, of all places.
	And now, I hate to do it, but there's been a redefinition of a word that needs to be discussed.
	I will play the trigger warning so everybody is aware that it's happening.
	At the tone, a clip from The View will be played.
	Shelter in place.
	All right, let's talk about fascism for a second.
	Okay.
	This is the definition.
	It's defined as a political movement that embraces the far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition.
	Are you kidding me?
	The far right?
	Isn't this the second or third time they've redefined the word?
	I mean, I'm going to read from the most redefined dictionary there is, which is Merriam-Webster.
	Yes, they change the definition at the drop of a hat, sometimes overnight.
	A populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader and is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
	Somehow that has become the far right.
	All right, let's talk about fascism for a second.
	Okay.
	This is the definition.
	It's defined as a political movement that embraces the far right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition, all overseen by an authoritarian government.
	I mean, these people are crazy.
	Crazy.
	They just make it up.
	By the way, I'm surprised that I refreshed the page and it didn't say that today.
	That could have easily happened.
	Oh, well, it's been redefined now by The View, so we've got to change that.
	Oh, yeah, got to change that.
	Ah!
	Anyway, Trump is going to win this election.
	They want him to win this election.
	Everything points towards it.
	Stop being all spun up if you want Trump to win.
	I think the ship sinking is the best thing you've played for months.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Why would you invite that guy up on the bridge?
	Because it must be sinking.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	It must be sinking.
	It must be sinking.
	Yeah.
	It's just nuts.
	Well, I have two clips about the Ethel Kennedy died.
	Yes.
	Ethel, who I guess was not on good terms with the RFK Jr.
	when she passed.
	I don't know about that.
	Well, probably not because she's a diehard.
	She was leading the family against him.
	Well, it's beside the point in the fact that he did indeed show up with Cheryl Hines, both wearing their wedding rings and holding hands.
	But if you listen to Nora, I get this under Nora, on the Ethel...
	Something is left out of this report completely.
	Ethel Kennedy was remembered today here in Washington as a champion for human rights and as a fireball of continuous energy.
	Three Democratic presidents attended her memorial, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
	The widow of Robert F. Kennedy died last week at 96 years old.
	The head of a family that includes 34 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.
	President Biden spoke of how Mrs.
	Kennedy reached out when his first wife and daughter were killed in a car accident and then again when his son Beau died.
	Ethel Kennedy will be buried next to her husband at Arlington National Cemetery.
	And that is tonight's CBS Evening News.
	Where's the mention of RFK Jr.
	showing up at all?
	What you brought up was more interesting than the three old dudes completely left out.
	Now, there was a moment...
	Where it looked like there was an argument going on between Obama and Biden that was shown on C-SPAN. People were doing AI voices on it.
	Well, I happen to have one of the better versions of that.
	Are you really buying this?
	Buying what?
	Okay, this is an AI version, so we're agreeing this is AI put in there.
	Well, it says right in the clip, funeral AI. What am I buying?
	What were you suggesting?
	That I believe this?
	I hadn't seen your clip title yet.
	You know, yeah, sometimes people...
	The Obama voice is not good enough.
	I mean, there are weaknesses with the...
	But I'm just saying, I love these AI bits because they're funny.
	Yeah.
	And they definitely have good writers.
	So they showed this on C-SPAN, and we didn't get to hear any of it.
	It looks like they're getting into something of a beef.
	And so our AI community came up and produced...
	Wait a minute.
	There's no Bitcoin community, but there's an AI community?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, smaller.
	Okay.
	So it's more likely to be a community.
	This is great.
	I'm all for it.
	This is great.
	Alright, can we play it?
	Yeah.
	So is Kamala doing okay?
	Nope.
	She's down, Joe.
	I think they found out that she's retarded, and now we're basically fucked.
	Trump is killing us at the polls, so yes, we're going to lose Joe.
	Damn it.
	Wait, wait.
	What if I come back to run again?
	As candidate?
	Yeah.
	Well, let me put it this way, Joe.
	The only person in this world who is even more retarded than Kamala Harris is basically you.
	So, no, Joe.
	Come on, man.
	You're not going back yet.
	Give him another shot.
	Let's let it all play out.
	Okay?
	Let's just...
	We'll talk later, Joe.
	Okay.
	Women looking fine up in here.
	Good.
	That's a more PG-rated version than something else I heard.
	You've heard worse?
	Oh, it was about Big Mike.
	Oh, I didn't see that one.
	Well, speaking of AI, I was looking at this report, which is about, which is your typical, and we'll get to it after the break, your typical, you know, oh, German spy chief says that Putin's not going to stop.
	He's going to take over all of Europe.
	And then I heard something, and I stopped dead in my tracks.
	tracks.
	German intelligence chiefs on Monday warned of an increasing Russian threat and said Vladimir Putin may not stop at Ukraine.
	Bruno Kahl, head of the Federal Intelligence Services, the BND, said that Russia was preparing ahead.
	Putin will continue to test the West's red lines and further escalate the confrontation.
	So I stopped right here.
	I I went, hold on a second.
	This is France 24, but I recognize that voice.
	Welcome to the Automated Daily, Top News Edition, the podcast created by Generative AI. Now we're not just delivering the news, we're empowering you to become a storyteller.
	Create your own podcast using your hand-picked list of sources.
	The West's red lines and further escalate the confrontation.
	It's the same AI voice!
	You really think so?
	Oh, I mean, it's just filtered differently.
	Oh, yeah.
	Did they show the guy talking?
	No, no, no, no.
	It's translating what the German spy was saying.
	Oh, and they're using this guy's voice.
	Yes, yes.
	Without a disclaimer.
	Okay, I just need to say something because I think I'm on to something here about AI where my error in thinking, because obviously I want AI to destroy the social media, social networks.
	I want it to destroy everything.
	Yeah, you're a nihilist.
	My era was thinking that AI entropy would ruin it.
	But, no.
	It's human behavior that is now ruining all platforms, YouTube, TikTok, social media, anything that depends on...
	What's your definition of ruining?
	I'm going to explain it.
	I'm getting there.
	And I have a lot of stories to back it up.
	Anything that depends on advertising, which immediately invites people to game algos, all of them, YouTube, TikTok, Grok on X, Meta has Llama.
	They're all offering tools to their users to easily create content based on popular keywords, trending images.
	I mean, the tools are amazing.
	And this is what happened to me.
	I was on YouTube looking at something for the show, and I see in the corner a recommendation for this Delta Hawk DHK-180 V4 two-stroke diesel engine with no electrics for aircraft.
	I'm like, huh, that's interesting.
	And so I click on it, and there's a guy at Air Adventure, and I know that channel, and I was like, okay, he's got some information.
	It's a very interesting engine.
	So you got suckered into clicking.
	Yeah, but then I wanted to know more.
	And there must have been a hundred videos about this engine.
	And it would be like 18 minutes and you click on it.
	And it would be one of these AI voices and really no information.
	And all of a sudden in the middle of it, some other program comes in and then it goes back.
	And all of these were basically...
	Videos that have been created by people trying to get views using AI tools just to get me to click in.
	The same thing with Diddy.
	Man, go look on YouTube or TikTok for something about Diddy.
	You'll realize after five minutes, wait a minute, I'm seeing the same pictures swapped the whole time.
	They're telling me nothing.
	And then you realize, I'm listening to some chat GPT script here.
	This is filling up...
	All of the social networks, particularly YouTube and TikTok, and they don't know what to do about it.
	And then you've got the bots engaging and commenting.
	Go look at some comments.
	Half of them are nonsense.
	Review sites of product reviews.
	It's all AI-generated comments.
	Kindle, filled with books that are crap, just developed by ChatGPT.
	And I put some links in the show notes.
	People can go take a look.
	AI is ruining the internet.
	Here, I tried creating a TikTok video using only AI. And people are doing 20 TikTok videos a day with AI. AI junk is coming for your YouTube feed.
	And then Meta is still trying to figure out how to identify AI-generated images.
	They are literally...
	Killing themselves with their own users by giving them these tools because we've got to show that it's great.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	And it's filling it up with unusable stuff.
	And the algos keep picking it up.
	They have no way to stop it.
	It's happening.
	And I think it's going very, very fast.
	I think that we're going to see these users, these people at home who are making this stuff, Are just filling up the internet with nonsense because of the model.
	Because of the algo model that generates views and that gets you advertising.
	People are claiming $1,000 a day, some $12,000 a month.
	They're showing you how to do it.
	And it's horrible.
	So I'm very pleased with this, obviously.
	I think this is great.
	And Facebook seems to have the biggest problem.
	Because it's images that trend on Facebook.
	And then they go in, they take the image, they replace it, they change it a little bit, and then they write a story about it, click, you got another click.
	And X, oh man, it's a business model.
	It costs you $8 a month to appear at the top of all of the comments.
	And then you just run your little bot, let it go.
	It's fantastic.
	It's falling apart.
	And the good news is that podcasting, when it comes down to it, which has no algos for discovery, is going to prevail.
	That and blogs.
	Going back to blogs, that's an interesting idea.
	Yeah, I think it would be great to go back to blogs.
	Absolutely.
	And speaking of podcasting, huh, things are not going well with the podcast industrial complex.
	I played for you the top story today from Pod News Daily, which is a daily four-minute report on podcasting.
	James Cridland, he's a good guy.
	And revenue drops for this American life.
	From Dubai, the latest from podnews.net with Soundstack, earning more programmatic revenue.
	Hey there podcast listeners, Ira here.
	There have been some changes in the podcast industry.
	Basically, the ad market has dropped.
	It's hard to run a podcast by selling ads.
	And it's affected nearly everybody who does a podcast.
	In the last few years, we've watched friends at podcasting companies all around us as they made massive staff cuts.
	Some companies have gone under.
	And because of these changes in the industry, this coming year, we expect our ad revenue to be a third less.
	A third less.
	The one we brought in just a few years ago.
	This American Life switched to ad sales by national public media from August.
	It had been represented by the New York Times.
	It's using Supercast and Apple Podcasts to handle subscriptions.
	We would note that the staff page on This American Life lists 36 people on the team.
	36 people on the team!
	No wonder you're going out of business.
	Oh, man.
	I thought that was so great.
	And I just smiled and said, value for value forever, baby.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the UMCA. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr.
	John C. DeMora!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kerr.
	I'll send in the morning to all the ships to sea and boots on the ground.
	Feed in the air and subs in the water and the dames.
	The night's out there.
	Hello, Joel.
	It's good to see you.
	I don't know.
	People on vacation.
	1967 was our peak.
	That's low, isn't it?
	That seems low.
	Is that high?
	What, for Thursday?
	Yeah, is that high?
	That's 100 over.
	I can't get this right.
	How do you get this wrong every single show?
	I'm bad.
	1,800 is the target for Thursdays.
	2,400 Sundays.
	That's all you need to remember.
	Okay, I'm remembering it now.
	Hey, we got lots of trolls there!
	Hello, trolls!
	That doesn't count.
	They're trollroom.io.
	Noagenda.stream in case that.io domain goes away.
	I hear that's a possibility.
	What?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Mauritius.
	Is it Mauritius?
	I think the UK gave back sovereignty to some island that had the.io domain name, and now it's in danger of going away.
	I don't know.
	It's one of those internet stories.
	Wow.
	I know.
	We've got a lot of IOs, so I hope it doesn't.
	I'm sure someone will scoop it up and charge 75 bucks a month.
	That's what happens.
	Yeah, they'll just jack up the price.
	That's what happens.
	Some smart money.
	So the trolls are listening in the troll room at trollroom.io.
	Or they might be listening on a modern podcast app, which is the way you want to go.
	You heard it.
	The algos are filling everything up.
	If you think you're going to get podcasts on YouTube, you're going to be wrong.
	It's going to be nothing but AI-generated slop.
	So get a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.
	You get cool features such as the bat signal that notifies you when we go live, almost instantaneous notification when an episode is public for any podcast.
	Anyway, it's good stuff.
	And then, you know, transcripts, cloud chapters, all kinds of wonderful things.
	We run this value for value.
	Speaking of AI slop...
	Oh, you know, we were having trouble with noagendameetups.com and the Reiki Princess.
	We can't get RSVPs and something's going on.
	I can't get a hold of Sir Daniel, who does noagendameetups.com as a service, as a return of value for the value that we provide in the show.
	That's how value for value works.
	And I emailed Mimi.
	I said, hey, can you see what's going on?
	This is the WordPress spat.
	Have you been following this?
	And Matt's got nothing to do with it.
	He's still, I think, in charge of the public domain version.
	Well, he's still the CEO of WordPress, and he runs WordPress.org.
	Well, I think there's this lawsuit between him and the company that also owns WordPress.
	No, no, no.
	You've got the story wrong.
	WordPress WP Engine is another company.
	We could start a company tomorrow selling hosted WordPress domains.
	And WP Engine did the same.
	They did exactly that.
	They're very successful.
	They make tens of millions of dollars a year, as does WordPress.com.
	And so he may have gotten venture money, but the lawsuit you're talking about is Matt Mullerweg decided, you're using the term WordPress.
	That's now our trademark.
	And it's very questionable, and there's a lot of people who are analyzing this.
	Doesn't matter.
	What happened is in this, which seems to me almost like a gay lover spat.
	I'm not sure what's going on.
	WordPress said, okay, no more access to our plugins.
	Or certain plugins that WP Engine was using, you can't use them now on WordPress.
	I'm a little unclear which way it goes.
	It might be both.
	And so now these plugins are breaking everywhere.
	Downstream, it's wreaking havoc on everybody.
	And it's really crazy what's happening.
	And a lot of hate going towards Matt Mullenweg, who I only know is kind of a nice, pleasant guy.
	Yeah, I know the guy.
	Have you ever known him to be not pleasant and kind?
	No, he's a sweetheart.
	Yeah, so whatever happened, I mean, he's gone full, as he said himself, scorched earth on WP Engine.
	Well, he's not a dummy, so he knows enough to do something like that if necessary.
	Well, the community hates him.
	The community hates him.
	They think he should be ousted from the company, and it's a big fracas.
	Anyway, that's what's going on.
	A fracas!
	Yes.
	I said to me, I said, I think it's a gay lover spat.
	This sounds like this has all the hallmarks of it.
	I don't know what's happening.
	So that's what's causing some issues, and Sir Daniel's working very hard on fixing that.
	Other ways you can...
	Oh, I was unaware of this brouhaha.
	Oh, yes.
	It's more than a brouhaha.
	Yes.
	No, I was unaware of the situation with the no-agenda meetups.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, because no one can spell Dvorak, so they just...
	Oh, curry.
	AdamMcCurry.com.
	That's easy.
	We'll just do that.
	Nobody tells me anything.
	Which is good.
	I'm telling you now.
	Besides that, you can...
	Yes, this is the idea.
	You're the filter for my information.
	That way I don't have to deal with all the spurious crap.
	This is not a good idea.
	That's a great idea.
	So speaking of AI and value for value, we have artists.
	Fewer Dutch masters than ever in the most recent batch.
	I'm still thinking of the 35 producers they have to pay.
	Oh, the 36?
	36 producers.
	36, okay.
	Even worse.
	We're not going to make it, people.
	What do you think Ira Glass makes?
	He makes bank.
	He makes good money over there.
	I'm sure he does.
	Yeah, he has to.
	Yeah, I'm sure he does.
	36 producers.
	This American life.
	Oh, okay.
	I mean, I can't even think of 36 positions for our show.
	Well, we have tens of thousands of producers, but they understand the deal.
	It's like, no, they're not going to get paid, but we get value because we're not subscription only or behind the paywall.
	By the way, it's death.
	It's death for a program.
	I agree.
	You may be able to convert now.
	Oh, look, we got 50,000 people paying.
	Good.
	We're good to go.
	How are you going to grow?
	The only way you can grow is by putting mediocre crap outside of the fire of the paywall and say, oh, you know, the premium stuff is on the inside.
	Kids, come on in.
	Want some candy?
	It's not going to work.
	You become irrelevant because people can't just tune in and listen.
	Your relevance goes away.
	And see Howard Stern.
	Before you know it, you're nuts.
	And your whole show is ruined.
	That's what happens.
	And I'm glad that Joe Rogan got out of his Spotify exclusive for that very reason.
	For that very reason.
	Not just nonsense.
	Oh, Kamala Harris is talking to Joe Rogan's people about appearing on the show.
	Really?
	He has two people.
	Matt in Colorado, who does the bookings, and Jamie, who does the fact check in production.
	What people?
	I don't believe this for a second.
	He doesn't have 36.
	He certainly doesn't.
	No, and he even said, I keep it lean, man.
	Yeah, of course you keep it lean.
	That's what you do.
	You have to keep it lean.
	That's the whole idea.
	That's the only way you can do it.
	We couldn't even afford to have an editor on this show, which we don't do because we don't edit.
	No, what's the point?
	Exactly.
	Taking out the uhs and the ahs and the ums?
	No, no, no.
	And the hello!
	That is going out.
	You'd be taking that out.
	I'm taking all of those out.
	So, it was hard to find a piece of art that we liked.
	There was nothing really super funny or on point for the program because everybody's using AI now.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, Sam Altman.
	Everybody's using generative AI. Yeah, we're doing the art.
	It's great.
	It's fantastic.
	And back after a quick intermezzo from Francisco Scaramanga is there's no such thing as a free lunch.
	Tan Stoffel.
	People liked it, though.
	It was cute.
	It was a crow holding up...
	It's the expression on the crow that made people like it.
	Yes, that made it work.
	Yes, I agree.
	But as we look down the list of what was submitted...
	For one thing, wait, let me just say a couple things.
	One thing, crows do not have big eyes.
	In fact, and they don't have whites.
	I've never seen a crow and you see the whites of its eyes.
	So it was cartoony.
	Looking at the list on noartgenerator.com, Sir Joho, who was one of our Jewish knights, somehow thought we would choose Solomon's knife cutting a baby in half.
	I don't even know why he came up with that.
	I don't think we talked about it.
	There was some mention about...
	It was in a clip somewhere.
	About splitting the baby, maybe.
	Yeah, it was minor, though.
	We didn't delve into the history of the biblical context of splitting the baby.
	No, thank God.
	Which is a good story, but no.
	Looking further down the list, Clip Custodian.
	He did Haggard Camilla.
	Although funny, no.
	We're not going to do that.
	No, and I will say I have a personal rule, which annoys Adam to no end.
	It can't be gruesome.
	The picture cannot be gruesome because I don't like the associative nature of gruesomeness with the show.
	Yes, which is probably a good thing, but I feel from time to time...
	Just a marketing thing.
	It's a marketing thing.
	And so they have a picture of Haggard Kamala and then...
	Associate that with the No Agenda show.
	Yeah.
	No, that's out.
	Now you wanted...
	I didn't like it at all.
	You wanted the...
	Carter did free TVs, which was a complete horrible choice because the free TVs wasn't even centered on the train and...
	Oh, yes.
	I agree.
	I don't know what you were thinking.
	No, I spotted the fact that it wasn't centered.
	I don't know what you were thinking.
	We discussed the Guitar of Thrones tattoo, and I think you were...
	If I had done some convincing, I could have probably dragged you across the line.
	Yeah, I was almost going to buy it.
	But...
	I still like the look on the crow's face.
	I just like the crow and the comic aspect to it.
	It was light-hearted.
	It had a cute crow holding a sign.
	The lettering was too small, but okay.
	And it just was a nice...
	It was pretty P. It was pretty and joyful.
	Yes.
	And the one tattoo that you liked was with the eyeball.
	I realize it's kind of gruesome to have a big eyeball tattoo.
	It's just, I don't know, it creeped me out.
	I'm waiting for someone to get that tattoo.
	I can see it.
	I can see somebody getting it.
	I might actually get that tattoo.
	Okay.
	I think you should.
	I'll pay for it.
	Easy does it.
	Easy does it.
	Simmer down.
	Simmer down.
	And then the other stuff was just bad AI. I mean, just everything was bad.
	Bad ideas.
	Bad prompt jockeying.
	Darren O'Neill didn't even try anything.
	Which is sad.
	No, he must have.
	No, nothing.
	Nothing at all.
	There was nothing from Darren.
	And I don't think there's a single original piece here.
	It's all AI. The real artists have given up because of AI. Hey, quality any day.
	And none of this is quality.
	The AI is diminishing in quality.
	I think I can safely say that.
	It's hurting.
	It's hurting the show.
	I don't think so.
	I think the art, ever since the AI started coming in, it's improved the art in general.
	Okay, well, do you see anything good besides the crow?
	No.
	No.
	There's been plenty of...
	Before AI, I'll say this...
	Before AI, we had plenty of shows over the last 17 years, plenty of shows where we had nothing.
	That's true.
	Nothing.
	And we had to go dig through the archives to find a piece.
	So this is not a new phenomenon.
	The show material itself didn't lend itself to any...
	I'm just worried that we're not seeing any of our Dutch masters anymore.
	Where are they?
	Where are the Dutch masters?
	I think the last show, we had an abandonment of listeners.
	We don't have enough Commodores.
	We had lousy donations.
	I think the Columbus Day or slash Indigenous Peoples Day, I think, bummed everybody out.
	Yeah, it didn't help.
	It didn't help.
	I'm with you on that.
	It didn't help.
	It didn't help.
	Anyway, we love everything that everybody does because unlike Ira Glass, we don't have 36 people on payroll.
	We can just sit here and say, hey!
	And we can complain.
	Yeah, we can complain.
	Do you think he can go into the office on Monday morning and say, you guys suck!
	There's no good art!
	The editing is horrible!
	No, we can't do it.
	Can't do it.
	Not at NPR. So, yeah, I think we're doing okay.
	I'm happy.
	I am happy and we're here to serve you.
	So, that's what we're here to do.
	And you need to serve us and keep us going.
	So we have the three T's in the value for value model, time, talent, and treasure.
	Now we go to the treasure portion.
	Any amount that anybody sends is always appreciated.
	It's up to you.
	Only you can determine what the show is value, what it's worth to you.
	And you can do a sustaining donation.
	A lot of people do that and they get on right in the round table, knighthoods, damehoods all the time.
	But again, we can't determine what it's worth to you.
	And clearly, some of you think it's worth more than whatever it's going to cost for that silly Ira Glass show with 36 producers who you're paying.
	No.
	This is a community project.
	Community media.
	You have to wonder what 36 people are doing daily.
	I mean, tell me.
	Does the show count?
	Is it a daily show?
	This American Life?
	No, I think it's a weekly show, isn't it?
	Well, this is how much we know.
	We don't even know whether it's daily or week.
	That's how unimportant it must be.
	How in tune we are.
	Anyway, we always like to highlight our executive and associate executive producers.
	Here's how it works.
	$200 above, you get an associate executive producer title.
	It's a credit that is real.
	It's forever for your lifetime and beyond if you put it on places like your LinkedIn or imdb.com and it's accepted anywhere credits are recognized.
	And we read your note.
	$300 or above, you become an executive producer.
	Same deal with that credit, and we read your note.
	And we kick it off with Scott McKay from St.
	Mary's, Ontario.
	Good to see a Scandinavian in there.
	At the top.
	At the top with $625.93.
	Is that Scandinavian, I'm presuming?
	Well, actually, you can tell by looking at the check.
	Let me see.
	No, that is his Scandinavian amount.
	Yeah, so it is.
	So that's a, that's Scandinavian.
	So that is, he's barely a producer.
	I don't know that it says dollars, Canada.
	It depends on where the bank's located.
	Well, anyway, he sent in a check, and attached to it is a post-it note.
	Short note, ITM, gentlemen.
	Health karma for my granddaughter.
	Thank you for your courage.
	N62593. I believe that is a Scandinavian call sign.
	I think they start with N, I think.
	I don't know.
	I think so.
	You'd think I'd know.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, you'd think I'd know.
	Anyway, of course we'll do that.
	Give some health karma for your granddaughter.
	And thank you very much for coming in and helping us out here on the No Agenda Show.
	You've got karma.
	I'm going to read the next two because the one after that is too long for my spreadsheet.

	Double up karma for him.
	Or her, because Agent 99 was a woman.
	You're right.
	That's right.
	Agent 99 from Get Smart.
	Hello, we're dating ourselves.

	Yes.
	Wife Beth for turning me on to Noah Jenner.
	Oh, good for Beth.
	She turned you on to Noah Jenner.
	She's good.
	Life's never been better, he says.
	Wow, he really blew it with her.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	Flowers help.
	Thanks for the amazing work you and the No Agenda producers do.
	I am one, better informed.
	Two, more fun at cocktail parties.
	And three, now definitely the asshole at family gatherings.
	Way to go!
	Excellent!
	You've got the trifecta.
	Yep, you can't beat that.
	Please dub me Commodore of smooth Texas highways.

	Jobs, karma to my sister, Carrie, and a belated biscuit for my 49th birthday.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	I love you guys and boobs.
	All the best, Kirk.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	And then we get a note from Dalton Fisher from Goodyear, Arizona.
	Is that where they create Goodyear tires?
	Is that the home of the region?
	I believe so.
	Well, no.
	Goodyear is back as an Eastern company, so I don't know.
	Maybe they just...
	I don't know what Goodyear, Arizona.
	$500.
	So he's vying for a Commodore ship.
	What an honor it is to support the best podcast in the universe.
	In regards to your TikTok report in Sunday's episode, I may have something to add.
	I work in social media, and several years ago when I finished...
	When I first started, my wife and I watched lots of TikTok videos for research.
	We quickly learned that it is very easy to get burned out from all the content to the point that it would ruin our whole day.
	After 20, 30, or 40-minute binges of content or more, we would get what we called Content Brain.
	I like that.
	Content brain.
	You know, Mimi complains about this every so often.
	Content brain?
	When we have what you and I think is a good show, which is dense.
	Yes.
	Dense.
	Yes, dense.
	And she calls it, she says it hurts her brain.
	You can't listen to it all at one go.
	It's just too much.
	We found we could no longer focus on anything all day long.
	We were very irritable and stupid.
	And we were anxious for the rest of the day.
	Content brain felt like losing 15 IQ points and getting ADHD at the same time.
	It comes as no surprise to hear that TikTok's own research found that it negatively affected brain function.
	Needless to say, we keep the short-form content to a minimum now and never show it to kids.
	Short-form content is addictive and needs to be treated as such.
	TikTok is not only bad for you, it's big business!
	I should know because I own a videography and social media service that can get your small or medium-sized business cranking out content easier than ever.
	Okay.
	He's part of the problem.
	Of course.
	We make your TikTok vids, Insta reels, YouTube shorts, and more from start to finish, scripting, shooting, editing, and posting all done for you.
	You're out of business.
	It's all going to be done by AI. I've been doing this for years and not a single one of my clients hasn't had a video hit one million views in their first six months.
	We specialize in blue-collar companies like lawn care, landscaping, plumbing, HVAC, and contractors.
	We're based in Phoenix, but travel all over the country for video shoots.
	Visit FisherMultimedia.com or email Dalton at FisherMultimedia.com for more info.
	Thank you for your courage and thank you for the tax write-off.
	God bless!
	Dalton S. Fisher.
	That is interesting.
	In light of, I'll just play two clips.
	Alright, we're going to be in this hour with today's Health Watch.
	New research on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD. It affects about 15.5 million adults, but it could be much more common than we realize.
	A new survey finds about a quarter of American adults suspected So I won't play this four clips.
	You can look them up in the show notes.
	I'm not going to play them.
	But these people are watching too many TikTok videos.
	That's what adult ADHD is about.
	The only people I see addicted to TikTok is people my age.
	This is an assertion you continually make.
	Yeah, I'm not all in on it being a kid problem.
	I only see adults.
	And blue-collar guys, too.
	You know?
	Guys who do the septic tank.
	Look at this.
	Hey, Adam.
	Okay.
	Get off of this.
	I find it distressing you believe this.
	Well, I have evidence.
	This is what I'm seeing.
	Ask the kids.
	Our kids are like, nah, we take it off the phone because they hate it, they get addicted, then they might bring it back for a day and then they take it off again.
	You could be correct in this assertion.
	All I know is when I see Brandon and Jay, you know, they're sitting around, once in a while they come over, I put on the big screen, I got something going on on the television, and they're on their phone.
	And then I grill them about them, I take pictures, I have photos.
	Photographic evidence this is happening.
	I have lots of photographic evidence.
	I have evidence of the dinner table.
	You have four people sitting there besides me and the kid.
	And he doesn't have a phone, but the rest of them are on the phone.
	And so I grill them about it, and they're playing Wordle.
	Oh, well, so they pay for it.
	So they are, in fact, supporting the New York Times.
	They've got to pay for it.
	Yes.
	Wordle is quite addictive.
	Well, I don't know.
	Tina was playing Wordle a lot, and then she went, wait a minute.
	Am I supporting the New York Times with this?
	That's the only way that they're supported.
	That's how they're staying in business.
	And she gave up her subscription.
	She said, not on my watch.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Baroness Knight's up.
	She's in Edmonds, Washington.
	She used to be Dame Knight.
	She's Baroness Knight.
	Now she's going to become Viscountess Knight.
	She came in with $352, and she is exhibiting noblesse oblige.
	She is showing her responsibilities as a Baroness and now a Viscountess to help the show, unlike our Brahmin listeners out there who don't care.
	Shame on the Brahmins.
	Dearest John and Adam, she writes, with this donation, not only am I an executive producer, I become Viscountess Knight as well.
	Wow.
	Please add all of the Arctic Valley, including the star, to my real estate portfolio, real estate.
	It's on a different line.
	My real estate.
	People out there have to know we do cold reads on this show.
	Yes.
	We get the spreadsheet right before we do the show, so we don't have time to read through it all.
	Yeah, we don't rehearse anything.
	Ever.
	And you can tell.
	In fact, we talked after the last show, we were going to bring something up, and I've forgotten what it was.
	I have too.
	I forgot completely what it is.
	I need more post-it notes.
	Somebody send me a pack.
	We're like, yeah, yeah, you call for it and I'll do this.
	And I remember saying, we'll never do this.
	We're never going to remember this.
	And I even wrote it down somewhere.
	I don't know where.
	Sorry.
	I will never be able to thank you two enough, she writes.
	Love you, me, it says love you, she's got it the way she's got it.
	Love you meant it.
	No, oh, yeah.
	Well, love you mean it is the phrase.
	No, I think she means love you meant it.
	She meant it, yes.
	Okay.
	Down with 352.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Then we move to our...
	Let me see.
	Hold on a second.
	Our first...
	Well, we only have three...
	No, only two associate executive producers.
	David...
	Well, this is coming to the end here.
	David, let me see what David, he has a note.
	Is this David, 270?
	Yes.
	Oh, goodness.
	Dear John and Adam, I won the donation raffle at our Rogers AR meetup on August 24th, finally sending it in.
	Apologies, this is written in cursive.
	In small cursive.
	Apologies for the delay, so read along.
	I've been derailed with a family situation.
	Um...
	Our Drink About It get-together was so great.
	Lots of super NA folks and even a knight and dame in attendance.
	Next time we will record a meet-up report while we're together.
	I feel unable to adequately...
	What is that word?
	I can't read it.
	Summarize.
	Oh, summarize the goings-on with me.
	Mir.
	With Mir.
	Words here.
	Thank you.
	Shameless plug, if anyone in Northwest Arkansas is thinking about buying or selling real estate, I would love it.
	I would love to work with any NA family member.
	Feel free to text or call 479-466-1032.
	Or you can email david at bluecanopyrealty.com.
	It would be an honor to assist others in No Agenda Nation who are in their right minds.
	You guys rock!
	Four more years!
	All my best, David.
	All right.
	Thank you, David.
	Arkansas, which is a really fabulous state.
	It is, in general.
	I think of all the southern-ish states, it's not really southern-ish, I think Arkansas is the prettiest.
	Yes, it is pretty.
	Especially up in the mountains.
	It's pretty.
	In the hillbilly area.
	It's very pretty.
	And here we go.
	Linda Lupatkin from Lakewood, Colorado, wraps things up with 200 bucks.
	A very short list of seven people.
	Indeed.
	Jobs Karma, she asked for, surprisingly enough, and she says, for a resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	That's ImageMakersInc with a K. Or find Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes, on the producer list.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	There you go.
	Thank you, Linda Liu Patkin.
	Always there for us.
	We love you for it.
	Thank you to all of our producers.
	We will be thanking people who came in $50 and above in our second segment.
	We just want to recognize everybody.
	We don't read under 50 for reasons of anonymity.
	And of course, you can always send in a sustaining donation.
	You go to noagendadonations.com.
	That's noagendadonations.com.
	If you repeat it three times, you'll remember forever.
	Noagendanddonations.com.
	And fill in any amount, any frequency.
	Some people do $5 a week.
	Some people do $5 a month.
	It doesn't matter.
	If that's the value to you and that's valuable to you, then we are happy with it.
	And again, thank you to our executive and associate executive producers for this episode.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	You know, on the last show, we were we were talking about our view of Israel and the United States and how there are so many people who are just, I mean, and I get emails all the time.
	Israel's running our country!
	The Jews, the Jews, everything, all the Jews, ah, ah, ah.
	And so I went back because it was a recent interview with Michael Hudson.
	What are you drinking?
	Topo Chico.
	Nice.
	That's our drink of choice here in Texas.
	So Michael Hudson, we played him before.
	He's a professor of economics.
	He's an old dude.
	He's in his late 70s.
	I put a fair amount of work into this because he stutters worse than Biden.
	And it's really bad.
	I was able to shore up these clips by 40% in most cases.
	But I thought it was important because he was, back in the 70s, he was there when the American foreign policy was designed.
	And I'm talking about people like Brzezinski, Herman Kahn, and all the way up through Wolfowitz, and all of these guys.
	The classics.
	And I believe he is telling the truth, and I think this is where we are at when you look at Israel and Ukraine and many other wars in the recent past.
	And I talked a little bit about this on the last show, but I want to make this presentation.
	And it comes actually after this piece of information, which I didn't know, as the globalist Christine Amanpour was interviewing the foreign minister of Palestine.
	And I didn't know this, but it was a ceasefire had been agreed to, and then they killed the guy.
	They killed the guy.
	Maybe it was Lebanon.
	They killed the guy in the bunker.
	Did you know that a ceasefire was agreed to?
	Oh.
	Oh, here we go.
	I spoke with Lebanon's Foreign Minister, Abdullah Abu Habib, who's in Washington, to meet with American officials, and he joined us for his first interview since the latest escalations.
	Foreign Minister, welcome back to the program.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Things have reached a major crisis in your country since we last spoke.
	And I want to ask you, you are in the United States right now.
	You know that several of the administration officials agree with Israel's, you know, ground incursion into your country.
	What do you make of that as you're in Washington trying to get support for a ceasefire?
	Well, they also agreed on the Biden-Macron statement that calls for a ceasefire.
	And that calls also the implementation for 21 days ceasefire.
	And then Mr.
	Rockstein would go to Lebanon and negotiate a ceasefire.
	Okay.
	And they told us that Mr.
	Netanyahu agreed on this.
	And so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that.
	And you know what happened since then?
	That was the day we saw you in New York.
	I know, and you were talking about going into the Security Council for this ceasefire, and barely 24 hours later, the head of Hezbollah was assassinated.
	Are you saying Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire just moments before he was assassinated?
	He agreed, yes.
	Didn't get a lot of play.
	I didn't hear much about that.
	No, this is all news.
	This should be, as CBS with Norah O'Donnell, they just play a bunch of stuff right at the beginning of the show about Trump.
	They don't talk about the Raytheon.
	They don't talk about the B-2 bombers.
	They don't talk about this.
	So, by the way, the people who think the Jews are killing everybody, you're not entirely wrong.
	But I just want you to understand the strategy and how that was built up in the United States, which is something that is not working too well, I would say, as an aside, and needs to be dismantled.
	So let's go back.
	A phone call.
	One phone call.
	That's right.
	It may just be one phone call.
	Here's Michael Hudson.
	He's talking about this strategy that was devised actually back in the 60s.
	Well, the United States doesn't want to cease fire because it wants to take over the entire Near East, and it wants to use Israel as the cat's paw.
	Everything that's happened today was planned out just 50 years ago, back in 1974, 1973 and 4.
	I sat in on meetings.
	It was Yared, who became Netanyahu, who's chief military advisor after heading Mossad.
	And the whole strategy was worked out essentially by the Defense Department, by neoliberals, and almost in a series of stages that I'll explain.
	Scoop Jackson is the main name to remember.
	Scoop Jackson was the ultra-right-wing neocon who sponsored them all.
	I was the head of the Democratic National Committee in 1960, and then worked with military advisors.
	I was with Herman Kahn, the model for Dr.
	Strangelove at the Hudson Institute during these years, and I sat in on meetings, and I'll describe them.
	But I want to describe how the whole strategy that led to the United States today not wanting peace, wanting to take over the whole Near East, took shape gradually.
	Alright, so do you know about this Scoop character?
	You ever heard of him?
	Scoop Jackson?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Was he a warmonger?
	Sounds like it.
	Well, he was at the time.
	That was my era of being a Democrat.
	He was a great guy.
	Ha ha!
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So this is what I discussed on the last episode of No Agenda is that the Democrats actually realized that you couldn't get elected if you said, oh, man, we're going to have a draft and we're going to send all you boys off to war.
	That was no longer going to work.
	The starting point for all the US strategy here was that democracies no longer can field a domestic army with a military draft.
	America is not in a position able to really field enough of an army to invade a country And without invading a country, you can't really take it over.
	You can bomb it, but that just is going to incite resistance.
	But you can't take it over.
	The Vietnam War showed that.
	Any attempt at a draft would be met by so much anti-draft resistance, taking the form of an anti-war statement, that no country whose leaders have to be elected can ever take that role again.
	The anti-war students showed that Lyndon Johnson in 1968 had to withdraw from running for election because everywhere he'd go, there would be demonstrations against him to stop the war.
	No such demonstrations are occurring today, needless to say.
	Although that's what we did expect at the convention in Chicago, but of course it didn't really happen that way because people aren't quite as animated as they were back in the Lyndon Johnson days.
	So instead, the strategy was devised as follows.
	So this was recognized 50 years ago, and it seemed at that time...
	That the U.S.-backed wars were going to have to be scaled down.
	But that hasn't happened.
	And the reason is the United States had a fullback position.
	It was going to rely on foreign troops to do the fighting as proxies instead of itself.
	That was a solution to get a force.
	Well, the first example was to create the Wahhabi jihad fighters in Afghanistan as al-Qaeda.
	And Jimmy Carter mobilized them against the secular Afghan interests.
	And Carter justified this by saying, well, yes, they're Muslims, but after all, we all believe in God.
	So the answer to the secular state of Afghan was Wahhabi fanaticism and jihad.
	And the United States realized that in order to have an army that's willing to fight to the last member of its country...
	The last Afghan, the last Israeli, the last Ukrainian.
	You really need a country whose spirit is one of hatred towards the other.
	A spirit very different from the American and European spirit.
	Brzezinski was the grand planner who did all that.
	The Sunni jihad fires became America's foreign legion in the Middle East, and that includes Iraq, Syria, and Iran, and also Muslim states going up to Russia's border.
	So, yes, that's exactly what's going on here.
	You've got to get countries who hate the other people that you want to get rid of, and they will do the bidding for you.
	I think we've been very successful at that.
	Literally, Ukraine fighting to the last man.
	We're going to kill every Ukrainian if we have to.
	And we'll kill every Israeli IDF soldier if we have to.
	If you're asking, why?
	Well, it's an age-old issue.
	It's always about the oil.
	The aim of the United States was oil was the center of this policy.
	That meant the United States had to secure the Near East, and there were two proxy armies for it.
	And these two armies have fought together as allies down to today.
	On the one hand, the al-Qaeda jihads.
	On the other hand, their managers, the Israelis, hand in hand.
	And they've done the fighting so that the United States doesn't have to do it.
	The foreign policy has backed Israel and Ukraine, providing them with arms, bribing their leaders of enormous sums of money and electronic satellite guidance.
	For everything they're doing.
	But the United States has been able to avoid all the opprobrium.
	But President Biden keeps telling Netanyahu, well, we've just given you a brand new bunker buster bombs and huge bombs.
	Please drop them on your enemies, but do it gently.
	So, yes.
	Well, it should mention that Biden has also gone on and on to say, he brags about the fact that the Ukraine war, we haven't lost it.
	We're not one soldier.
	We have no boots on the ground.
	We're not...
	Nobody's dying there from us.
	Yeah, right.
	And he goes on and on about it.
	Yeah, because, well, there are U.S. military there, but that's neither here nor there.
	They're not supposed to be...
	Yeah, but still, technically...
	Now we get to the meat of the issue, which is the Zionists, and the Zionists in America.
	And he lays it out very clearly here, Israel is our foreign legion, and it's the Zionists.
	How are we going to get these?
	How are we going to really...
	We need to put these crazy people in the State Department.
	When all of this strategy was being put together, Herman Kahn's great achievement was to convince the U.S. empire builders that the key to achieving their control of the Middle East was to rely on Israel as its foreign legion.
	And that arm's length arrangement enabled the United States to play the role, as I said, of the good God, designating Israel to play its role.
	And Israel has organized and supplied al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, while the United States pretends to denounce them.
	And it's all part of a plan that's been backed by the military, the State Department, and the national security operation.
	And that's why the State Department has turned over management of U.S. diplomacy to Zionists, seemingly distinguishing Israeli behavior from U.S. empire building.
	But in a nutshell, the Israelis have joined al-Qaeda and ISIS's troops as America's foreign legion.
	Now you start to understand how ISIS all of a sudden bombed in Russia.
	Yeah, so those of you saying, Mossad, CIA, yes!
	Yes, but it's really been a plan, and it's the United States controlling, not the other way around.
	And so, back to Scoop, real name Henry Jackson, he was quite the architect of this whole system, particularly on the U.S. side.
	The U.S. policy, as I said, was based on the U.S. actually taking over all of these countries, We're good to go.
	Well, I think.
	He was called, nicknamed, the senator from Boeing.
	Jackson was fighting all the arms controls.
	We've got to have war.
	And he proceeded to stuff the State Department and other U.S. agencies with neocons who planned from the beginning for a permanent worldwide war.
	And this takeover of government policy was led by Jackson's former Senate aides.
	These Senate aides were Paul Wolfevitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Fife, and others who were catapulted into the commanding heights of the State Department and, more recently, the National Security Council.
	The Jackson-Vanick Amendment to the US Trade Act of 1974 became the model for subsequent sanctions against the Soviet Union, claiming that the claim was that it limited Jewish immigration and other human rights.
	So, right then, The State Department realized, here is a group of people who we can use as the theoreticians and the executors of the U.S. policy that we want.
	They both want to take over all of the Arab countries.
	I don't think there were any non-Jewish Americans that had that visceral hatred of Islam that the The visceral hatred of Russia, specifically for its anti-Semitism of past centuries, most of which was in Ukraine, by the way.
	So now the entire...
	The State Department comes into view.
	We understand the thinking and the milieu that Newland and Blinken and all these Jamoaks have been in.
	They have been educated for this policy that is U.S. policy, our policy.
	And let's make it clear.
	Antiquated.
	Yes.
	This began during the Stalin period where Khrushchev, I think it was the guy running it, when it was the Soviet Union, which has long gone...
	And the structure of the world has changed immensely, but we're keeping with this archaic policy, which is ludicrous at this point.
	And this is the last clip because the system is no longer working, it's not happening, it's failing, and this is his wrap-up.
	From the very beginning, they were promoted, supported with huge amounts of money, all of the bombs they needed, all the armaments they needed, All the funding they needed, and Israel is a country whose economy needs foreign exchange in order to keep its currency solvent.
	All of that was given to them precisely to do exactly what they're doing today.
	So when Biden pretends to say...
	Can't there be two-state solution?
	No, there can't be a two-state solution, because Netanyahu has said, we hate the Gazians, we hate the Palestinians, we hate the Arabs, there cannot be a two-state solution.
	This could not have been said explicitly 50 years ago.
	That would have been shocking, but it was being said.
	By the neocons who were brought in from the beginning to do exactly what they're doing today, to act as America's proxy, to conquer the oil-producing countries and make it part of greater Israel as much of a satellite of the United States that England or Germany or Japan have become.
	That's become a precondition for their own solvency.
	It is insolvent.
	There's no solution to a black hole that Israel's painted itself into, and yet there's no willingness to have a single state because Biden and the entire National Security Council,
	Congress, and the military, and especially the military-industrial complex, says they're And
	I would say Taiwan is on deck for this idiotic policy.
	So...
	This has been United States policy.
	We are the bad guys in this.
	And yes, of course, the Zionists in Congress who get funded through AIPAC, which is directly funded by the corrupt companies, allegedly, who we just heard Raytheon, they're the ones who the Israeli Education Fund who give the money to AIPAC, which flows through to the senators and the congresspeople who are all in on the military-industrial complex.
	Except Thomas Massey.
	I was going to say, see Thomas Massey, whose wife dies very suddenly, unexpectedly, after he explains how this works.
	So, the Jews and the Mossad, I really don't think that they're controlling America, but this policy is outdated, it's not working, and it appears to me, specifically when we have our boots on the ground dude named Bahamut, That everybody in the region knows this is coming to an end.
	Trump's coming in.
	He's going to change this policy and he's going to fix it.
	And I really believe he's going to do that with the Abraham Accords 2.0 and will bring peace.
	We'll still get a lot of oil.
	He knows how to cut a deal, but this killing, this has to stop.
	And that's why the Jews in Israel, they are mad at Netanyahu.
	They see what's going on, they know what's happening, but you can't come out and say it.
	You can't say, America is running this show, which is exactly what we're doing.
	And just to laugh for a couple seconds here...
	Zelensky unveiled his victory plan to his own parliament.
	I will play the report first about the victory plan.
	This morning, I've been seeing humorous memes on the internet showing how the lawmakers were applauding in the Ukrainian parliament, but with the video cut so that Volodymyr Zelensky just comes in and says Slavokraine, which means glory to Ukraine, and then everybody claps, the implication being that and then everybody claps, the implication being that there wasn't very much really in the plan.
	Unfortunately, there's also a photo of the Speaker of Parliament, sorry, a video of him inviting photographers to photograph the plan, and he accidentally opens his dossier on the wrong page, and it's a blank page.
	Which a lot of Ukrainians found, you know, darkly funny in Parliament despite the applause which meant that everybody accepted the plan because of course there's nothing in there that Ukrainians would want to disapprove of.
	A lot of MPs were very critical.
	Saying that it doesn't really constitute a plan.
	It's more like just a wish list.
	Zelensky himself was insisting again and again on how much all of this depends on Ukraine's partners and allies.
	And a lot of people are saying, well, he's asking things from the partners and allies that the partners and allies have been pretty clear that they don't want to give for the moment anyway.
	Though one MP did point out that this has happened before, that Ukraine asked for patriot Air defence missiles, F-16s, all sorts of weaponry that at first the West seemed pretty determined not to give and ended up giving.
	I guess the hope is that it will be the same with NATO, but I don't think anyone in Ukraine is hoping that any kind of announcement is going to come from NATO today or any time before the US election.
	So, it's falling apart because everybody knows you can't just get this country into NATO, which is the top of his plan.
	Invitation to join NATO. It's falling apart in Ukraine.
	And it's so bad in Israel that, well, we had to do this.
	The United States has announced that it's sending Israel an additional high-altitude anti-missile system to boost its defenses against a potential Iranian attack.
	The THAAD weapons system is used to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles and will be operated by US troops in Israel.
	President Biden said the system would bolster Israel's air defences following Iran's ballistic missile attacks in April and October.
	The announcement was made just hours after Iran warned the US to keep its military forces out of Israel.
	Americans have a great choice.
	Vote for the candidate who was endorsed by warmonger Dick Cheney or for someone who has an idea on how to fix this and was actually kind of underway doing it.
	But this, we are bad.
	We are bad with this.
	And it's dumb and stupid and it has to stop.
	Bad dog.
	We are bad dog.
	Bad dog.
	We have to stop this.
	Yeah.
	Well, we have to stop it.
	I mean, I think our intentions are good, but we have to stop it because it's archaic.
	Yes.
	Stalin doesn't run Russia anymore, or the Soviet Union doesn't even exist.
	We've made promises that we didn't keep about moving NATO around.
	NATO is archaic.
	I think Trump knows that, but there's not much you can do about it because it sounds good.
	But this old-fashioned thinking is really an issue.
	It is.
	It is.
	And for the brothers and sisters who are so worried, well, yeah, but they're going to cheat.
	They're going to cheat.
	Yes, they're going to cheat.
	So are the Republicans.
	Everybody's going to cheat.
	What you haven't heard a lot about in, because why would you?
	Is that at the state level, a lot has happened with election boards and people in charge of how the ballots are going to be counted.
	So you get like this, oh, an outrageous report.
	I can't believe this.
	This is crazy.
	A big court ruling yesterday in Georgia about how the state's votes will be counted.
	A state judge paused a controversial new rule from the Georgia Election Board, which is controlled by Trump allies.
	That rule would require hand counting all ballots.
	CNN Sarah Murray is following this decision.
	Explain the significance.
	Well, the significance is that this was a rule that was going to be coming into place in late October, and the judge basically said, look, this is too much too late.
	He said this would cause administrative chaos, and he's putting it on pause while it's being litigated on a number of fronts, including, as you pointed out, in a hearing today.
	You know, he also pointed out there's no training in place.
	There's no protocols on how to implement this.
	No training.
	For now, the scene's paused.
	It may be appealed, but we're just getting so close to actual election day that it's hard to imagine you could move forward with something like this, again, without any training, without any rules in place around it.
	So close to election day, and they're voting right now in election.
	Not counting them, but actually voting.
	Yeah, we need training on how to count.
	CBS had a different take.
	It's not hand tabulation, but it's hand counting just so they can reconcile if the number of ballots in hand matches up with the number of ballots that the machines say represent votes cast on election day.
	So they say it's about checks and balances and that would it allow to look at any discrepancies to make sure, you know, every now and then there have been human errors in Georgia that showed, you know, a box of ballots got missed.
	Now, again, nothing that would affect the outcome of the election, but the state election board says this would make sure everything was proper, reconciled, ballots equals, ballots counted.
	Gillespie County, there was huge moves, like hand counting, hand counting.
	A lot has gone on that is just not reported on, and of course, why would you do it?
	Although I did like this TikTok video.
	From a voter in Oregon.
	It's even better with the video, but you'll understand what's happening when he got his voter packet.
	Okay, so this is the Oregon voters pamphlet, right?
	So as an informed voter, you're supposed to be able to read all about all the candidates, all the different political parties, everything, right?
	Okay, so we've got Robert F. Kennedy Jr., right?
	He's not even running as president anymore.
	He dropped out.
	Chase Oliver.
	I don't even know who the crap that is.
	He's obviously not going to win.
	Then you have Jill Stein.
	Nope.
	Probably not going to be the one.
	Then you have this weird blank space here.
	It's just blank.
	Then you have Kamala Harris-Telmuth.
	And then where like J.D. Vance should be, it's blank.
	And then it goes into US representatives.
	Isn't that insane?
	I mean, everybody's like, oh, Oregon is like, you know, so liberal or whatever.
	They don't even put Donald Trump on the thing.
	That's insane.
	Like, this is why we need, like, an electoral college for states, you know?
	If we could get Portland and Eugene out of our state, the rest of the state would be amazing.
	It's just literally half a page just blank.
	Yeah, I'd like to have somebody verify that this was the case, and this wasn't a rigged phony baloney TikTok.
	That's possible, but it felt pretty real to me.
	Because when you saw it, the guy showed one of the blank pages, and you could see a smudgy-looking area where there would have been maybe a photo.
	Yeah, I thought that was just bleed through from the previous page, but it could be.
	It could have been.
	It could have been exactly what you just said.
	Yeah.
	But I just found the whole thing, unless it's confirmed, I'm skeptical about that particular clip.
	Although it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
	Right.
	I know.
	I mean, Oregon, Washington, and California, the three coastal states...
	Are all corrupted in terms of their voting.
	Too much mail-in voting.
	I got a ballot the other day to mail in.
	And Washington State's 100% mail-in.
	There's no anything.
	You don't have a choice.
	You can't go to a poll.
	I was a little disturbed by listening to this short report from the New York Times Daily podcast about people who are voting by absentia.
	So if you're in a foreign country, you can still vote.
	This is their report quote of how to do it.
	Hey, friend.
	Hey, friend.
	Americans living abroad can vote in the U.S. election.
	You can register or get tailored support at votefromabroad.org.
	State deadlines are close, so don't waste a second.
	Go to votefromabroad.org now and find your state.
	Once requested, your ballot will come by email.
	All you have to do is vote and send it back.
	Don't delay.
	Votefromabroad.org.
	So you email your ballot back?
	I don't like that.
	And.org?
	How come it's not.gov if it's official?
	Thank you.
	Where's the.gov?
	Thank you.
	Very sketchy.
	That's very sketchy.
	Sketchy.
	Sketch.
	Super sketch, man.
	I'm told if you're in a foreign country, you go to the embassy and you can vote.
	That would be a proper way to do it, yes.
	I mean, when I was abroad, you'd fill it out, you'd send it through the mail that would arrive at the appropriate place.
	But this doesn't sound right.
	No, that sounds like a scam.
	Yes.
	Yes, indeed.
	Okay, well, that was a good report.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	Now, I'm talking about the guy.
	Yeah, the Hudson.
	Talking about Israel.
	Here's a couple of odd clips.
	We have one of the Trump campaign classic.
	This is back to the Trump campaign classic.
	This is an NPR. This Trump campaign NPR summary.
	How did NPR summarize things?
	Polls show a wider gender gap than usual this year.
	Women are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in large numbers, while men are leaning toward former President Trump.
	Both candidates see those gaps as opportunities to earn a few more votes in what looks likely to be a very close election.
	Today, Trump appeared on a Fox News town hall in front of an all-women audience.
	Here to talk about what he said is NPR political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben.
	Hi there.
	How did Trump try to reach out to women in this event?
	Well, a lot of these women really, it seemed like he had reached them already.
	They cheered loudly and often.
	You could see some wearing Trump gear.
	Now, as for topics that they asked about, the questions they asked covered a lot of the things that Trump already talks about all the time, like inflation, immigration.
	There was one question about child care, but in his answers, Trump notably stressed safety and security, which is something he talks a lot about related to women specifically.
	He often says that women should care, for example, about an issue like immigration because to him, that's an issue of safety.
	He always casts undocumented immigrants as particularly dangerous.
	And by the way, that is, of course, not true.
	Except they're eating the dogs.
	By the way...
	That's not true.
	Now, I want to mention this.
	At the end, she says, oh, yeah, dangerous immigrants.
	It's not true, even though there's rapists and martyrs inside the point.
	It's not true.
	There was a study done some time ago, we've talked about it on the show like years ago, where it showed that the immigrant base of the United States committed less crimes than the locals.
	And this was based on a study of the legal immigrants.
	Not the illegal immigrants, which are now being escorted into the country.
	And they keep referring back to him.
	That's why she could say that at the end.
	That there's a lot of crime, but it's not true.
	You mean the report that immigrants commit less crime than natural-born citizens?
	Yes.
	I have this from...
	AOC was propagating this.
	This goes back to 2019.
	We can't even get laptops in the hands of our district offices because the president has decided to hold the paychecks of everyday Americans hostage so that he can fulfill a campaign.
	I don't even want to call it a promise, a campaign fantasy that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of.
	And not only that, but in the actual address, there was falsehood after falsehood.
	And we have to make sure that we get our facts straight.
	Everyday immigrants commit crimes at a far lower rate than native-born Americans.
	And not only that, but the women and children on that border that are trying to seek refuge and seek opportunity in the United States of America with nothing but the shirt on their backs are acting more American than any person who seeks to keep them out ever will be.
	Let's remember that next time it comes up, AOC.
	That was from that report.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	And that's what they were based on.
	That information is still being used today, even though it's not valid.
	It hasn't been valid for years.
	It's like crime has gone down by 2.5%.
	Oh, wait.
	It went up 4.5%.
	Oh, wait.
	Yeah, fake information.
	That's a 7% difference.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Oh, that's not right.
	Oh, that can't be right.
	No, they're just gaslighting the public.
	The public is just getting bad information, mostly from the mainstream media.
	Who propagates stuff like that clip that you picked up from AOC back in 2019, which we have, the show itself has long memory.
	It's called The Archives.
	It's called Bingit.io, which by the way, there's a boot page on Bingit.io.
	You can get that same functionality for your podcast.
	He's a very smart guy who put that together, one of our producers, and he is allowing people to purchase that service from him if you want it, which is great because you can search anything.
	Clips, stuff we talked about, articles.
	Here's a clip.
	This is a clip that needs to be played.
	This is from NPR. This is the Sinaloa bust.
	I have it listed as odd.
	Mexico's ex-security chief, rather, has been sentenced to more than 38 years in a U.S. prison.
	NPR's Quill Lawrence reports Hanaro Garcia Luna was convicted of taking bribes from Mexican drug cartels.
	During the years that Hanaro Garcia Luna was supposed to be leading the fight against powerful drug cartels in Mexico, he was actually on their payroll.
	Last year, a federal court in Brooklyn found Garcia Luna guilty of working with the Sinaloa cartel.
	Prosecutors said he caused violence, addiction, and death in the U.S. and Mexico.
	The judge gave him a $2 million fine and 460 months in prison, effectively life for the 56-year-old.
	of an alleged Sinaloa drug kingpin, 76-year-old Ismael El Mayo Zambada.
	U.S. efforts to dismantle Mexican cartels may be contributing to what experts say is a steep decline in synthetic opioids in U.S. cities.
	What?
	So they're going after these guys.
	Late.
	Yeah.
	Welcome to the party, gentlemen.
	And then the thing is, this guy's a Mexican official.
	I don't know how you get this guy into the country to throw him in jail.
	Hmm.
	I find it peculiar.
	We've done this with a bunch of...
	We are an international police force, I guess.
	I'm noticing this on, like, television shows have been extolling the virtues of...
	Like, for example, the FBI. Team America.
	Dick Wolf production.
	Yeah.
	And Dick Wolf, when he was doing the Law& Order series for NBC, one show after another, always showed the FBI as a bunch of bumbling idiots that came in and interfered with the local police.
	Who would always shoot and miss...
	And they were just terrible jerks.
	But now, you know, he moves on to a series for, I think it's CBS, called the FBI Trio.
	He's got FBI, FBI Most Wanted, and then the one that just makes me shake my head, FBI International.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	And FBI International is about the FBI overseas, mostly in Europe.
	Huh.
	Button into everybody's business because the FBI is the only competent worldwide police force and they have to move.
	They're in like France and they say, you guys that don't know what you're doing, we're going to take it over.
	And they take over investigations in France and in Italy and in Germany and every place else.
	And I'm wondering, what is this?
	What are they trying to tell us?
	By the way, you gave me a recommendation for a television show and I want to commend you on that.
	Mimi, I did the same thing with Mimi, and she had the complete opposite reaction.
	This is Matlock?
	No, yeah, Matlock.
	Yeah, Matlock.
	The new Matlock, which stars...
	Kathy Bates.
	Kathy Bates.
	There's only a pilot episode out.
	I loved it.
	I thought it was fantastic.
	And I know exactly where it's going.
	And I love it even more.
	I don't want to give it away because of the twist.
	Yeah, there's got a twist at the end.
	You have to watch it.
	Episode one is what you have to watch.
	Don't watch episode two if you haven't seen episode one.
	There is no episode.
	Is there an episode two yet?
	Not that I know of.
	It hasn't dropped.
	It'll be out soon.
	Mimi, I gave her the same recommendation with the same sales pitch I used on you.
	She hated it.
	Huh.
	And I couldn't figure out quite why, and she never really explained it fully.
	She thought it was dumb.
	I think she thought it was stupid.
	Oh, I quite enjoyed it.
	Yeah, and I'm surprised.
	After she told me that, I said, oh, Adam will hate it, too.
	No, well, Tina was hiking in the Smoky Mountains.
	It was just me and Phoebe, so, you know, maybe that's why.
	Could be.
	It may rub women the wrong way.
	Oh, that's possible.
	I mean, that's a possibility.
	I have one last clip, and I just wanted to make an observation about this.
	This is a France 24 report on pig butchering, which everybody gets these text messages.
	Hey, I see this number, but I don't remember your name.
	Or, hey, are we still going shopping today?
	Oh, right, yeah.
	Or, hey, you know, this...
	After you're done, I have to tell you, I got my fourth call from the guy faking to be one of my kids.
	Oh, wow.
	You're getting those.
	Well, I have a comment after this.
	I just took about a minute and a half from a rather long report.
	Where they saved some of these people.
	And I had a thought about it, which I think should be discussed because we just see this as incredibly annoying and lame.
	And yes, it's very successful.
	Some say it's in the tens of billions of dollars getting people to invest in fake crypto scams.
	By the way, I think it's only black men.
	And, you know, people emptying out their bank accounts, particularly older people.
	I've seen these scams.
	I've seen how it looks like you're investing in Bitcoin and you're doing great.
	And then, you know, it turns out you were just giving your money away.
	And they get people to get gift cards.
	It's crazy.
	I've seen people who have been suckered into this.
	It really is effective.
	It does work.
	The worst is the Asian women, usually named May, M-E-I. Who will string you along for months and show you all the luxuries that she's living in and how successful she is with this crypto thing.
	And they play a very long game.
	So this was a piece of this report.
	An enticing insurance policy.
	An online romance that seems too good to be true.
	In the age of the smartphone, internet scams are rife, with hundreds of millions of people affected every year.
	Sianukville has, over the last decade, become a stronghold for Chinese mafia groups that rely on casinos and prostitution for their wealth.
	But these days, online scamming is by far their most profitable business.
	The mafia groups used torture to force their employees to work, as can be seen on these videos shared on encrypted messaging platforms.
	This Thai man says he was effectively imprisoned by a Chinese mafia group for six months.
	He'd responded to a Facebook ad promising a well-paid job at a casino in Myanmar.
	But when he arrived, his passport was confiscated.
	That was the start of his nightmare.
	Every day we had to find customers on social media and dating apps.
	It was a romance scam.
	Make Thai people fall in love with us and invite them to invest in cryptocurrency.
	These modern-day slaves are set to number in the hundreds of thousands across Southeast Asia.
	Local authorities are trying to rescue them.
	This police officer is waiting for news about several young Filipinas.
	These women had been confined for several months at a scam center near the Thai border in Myanmar.
	Like many other workers, they'd responded to job offers on social media.
	The signal is not good, but they are moving.
	I'm tracking them on the phone because they have shared their live location.
	So, as I was listening to this, I'm like, well, hold on a second.
	These are human beings, and they clearly need help.
	And he said right there, that was hard to understand, but he says, they're sharing their location.
	There should be some number that we can contact...
	Or, you know, tell these, you know, when a pig butcher checks in, like, hey, I know you're a slave.
	Turn on your location so I can see where you are.
	I will alert the authorities.
	They can hopefully come and rescue you.
	I mean, this is hundreds of thousands of people are caught in these prisons.
	This is really atrocious.
	And I don't want to just stand by and be, oh, this is just annoying.
	This is bad.
	I mean, this report was just filled with...
	You know, it had one of those YouTube warnings.
	Like, this could be triggering.
	It was horrible.
	And there should be some movement.
	Actually, incredulous because...
	Well, I'm incredulous because I... I can't imagine they can't just hire people to do this instead of enslaving them.
	Well, it's the Chinese mob.
	I mean, they don't care.
	They don't like W-2s.
	They're just like, I'm going to beat you with a PVC pipe.
	That's what they showed.
	So, anyway.
	Yeah, tell us about your fourth scam.
	Well, yeah, I've gotten four calls over the last, I'd say, couple of years.
	It only started a couple of years ago.
	First one was, and I knew about the scam anyway, because there was some report on it.
	And it's also, my grandkids aren't that old that they would call me up with a big, thick voice.
	Hey, granddad.
	Hey, I got arrested.
	Um.
	And the scam is somebody calls and claiming to be one of your kids.
	Yeah.
	And if you're dumb and you say, Timmy?
	Timmy, is that you?
	Billy?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Have you tried that?
	Have you tried answering like, Timmy, is that you?
	That would be funny.
	No, next time I will.
	I have not done that.
	But the voice does say, hey, granddad.
	So at least they have that right.
	Yeah, and the voice says, hey, granddad.
	It sounds like...
	I've had three of the hey, granddads.
	And the other one was...
	Hey, Dad.
	This one just came in like two days ago.
	Hey, Dad.
	And when the guy called and he says, Hey, Dad, as if it was like one of my kids or something that has been arrested and he needs money.
	The scam is simple.
	I've been arrested.
	I need money.
	I've been beaten up by the cops or whoever.
	That's why I sound funny because this is the way it supposedly goes.
	Oh, okay.
	Got it.
	I sound like an old Italian man because I've been beat up.
	So, I told this guy not to hang up.
	I really urged him to stay on the line so I could ask him a couple of questions about the scam.
	Because I think, I have had guys from India and elsewhere stay on the line and talk to me.
	So, I'm hoping to get this guy.
	Because I asked, I said specifically, I said, stay, don't hang up, don't hang up.
	He says, I've got to find out, I said to him, how often this works.
	And there was a long pause.
	He stayed on the line for a while thinking he might say something, then he hung up.
	So I didn't get any information at all.
	There's ways to do that.
	I've heard guys, there's some channel where a guy does this almost for a living, and he's figured out how to keep these people on the line.
	Basically, you need to get them to start boasting about kind of where you were.
	You need to get them to be really proud of how successful they are and Yeah, I don't have the skill set to do that.
	I know there's a lot of people, in fact, a friend of mine used to be involved with their online stuff.
	Porn.
	Not porn.
	She is part of a group, and there's a bunch of these people out there, that keep scammers on the line, string them out, and try to scam them.
	Oh, that's great.
	That's great.
	It's a very elaborate situation.
	And they try to get money out of him and everything else.
	And it's just fascinating, the work they go into.
	It's just so much work.
	Here's my question.
	Where's Elizabeth Warren in all of this?
	That's my question, too.
	You and I have the same question.
	Where's Elizabeth Warren, the big talker?
	Oh, I'm going to get Rachel.
	Rachel keeps calling me.
	I'm gonna 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.
	We'll have to solve that another day.
	Right now, we've got a lot of things coming up.
	We have our meetups, we have Commodores, we've got some Danes, we've got title changes, birthdays, oh my, and the tip of the day, along with our end of show mixes.
	John, why don't you thank the producers who came in $50 and above?
	Yes, in fact, I'm going to have you read this note because this is a daming note.
	This is from Lydia Terry Dominelli, one of our favorites from Clifton Park, New York, and she sends $170 in with a note that you can read.
	Number four.
	Hold on a second.
	I couldn't find it that easy.
	Number four.
	Ah, yes, here we go.
	Mr.
	Curry, Mr.
	Dvorak, thank you for everything...
	The sanity is very helpful.
	I like the way.
	This is a person who doesn't space things out correctly.
	No.
	It's a little interesting.
	You had to see this letter to really appreciate it.
	The sanity is very helpful.
	I was dismayed to hear that no Stripe donations were received shortly after sending donations through Stripe.
	So I'm sending a check.
	I was very tired when I made the last donation for my damehood and could not think of a dame name.
	Could you please add Dame...
	What is this?
	Pre-K. Oh, Dame Pre-K Tommy?
	To my...
	To my...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Could you please add dame pre...
	How come you didn't just read the note?
	Come on!
	I seem to have a...
	Since I'm old, I have a skill for reading terrible cursive.
	You should be reading this.
	Could you please add dame pre-K to my damehood, seeing as I've...
	And by the way, there's another good example.
	Dame hood.
	It's like dame and then hood is lifted above the words since.
	Since I've caught up on sleep.
	Thank you.
	Are you sure?
	Thank you.
	Are you sure?
	Dame pre-K. Yes, you will be coming dame pre-K for sure.
	And I would say to Linda.
	Is it Linda?
	Is it Linda or Linda?
	I think it's Linda.
	I think it's Linda.
	She...
	I think it's Lydia, isn't it?
	No, Lydia.
	Lydia Terry.
	Yeah, Lydia Terry.
	Yeah, we've had her.
	She's been donating forever.
	Yes, she has.
	She needs more coffee.
	Yes, indeed.
	That's my guess.
	She's not getting enough sleep.
	Just thinking.
	Just thinking.
	You might be right.
	Yeah, Lydia Terry Dominelli.
	Yeah, Pete Federici in Bothell, Washington.
	$117 and needs some jobs and moving karma for his partner.
	We'll put that at the end.
	Lucas Williams in Roswell, New Mexico.
	Yes.
	$100.
	The blonde girlfriend in Charlotte, North Carolina.
	$100.
	She's calling out a birthday for her hot boyfriend, Sir Scovey.
	Yes, on the list.
	Yeah, she's the blonde girlfriend.
	Omega Man in Lost Wages, Nevada.
	Another $100.
	John and Adam.
	He has a question here for you.
	Specifically, I wouldn't have...
	He wouldn't have stopped, except this is a question for me.
	Adam, you are the podfather, so we need a judgment rendered on this.
	My complaint is that the term podcast has been hijacked by YouTubers.
	I don't believe that those who are doing video-only shows and uploading them to YouTube or other platforms are true podcasts.
	I have long held that audio-only broadcaster was the only true podcaster.
	Radio stations and TV stations both broadcast, blah, blah, blah.
	His question.
	Unless a broadcaster is using an RSS feed, are they a true podcaster?
	Omega Man.
	By the way, he has about 18,000 episodes of his podcast.
	He's been around for a long time.
	I know him.
	He's got a pet peeve.
	Yes, well, people call a video with people sitting around a desk with headphones and mics, big cans and mics, they call that a podcast.
	They will be sadly disappointed when their audience is pushed away by the algos because they didn't have an RSS feed for people to subscribe with.
	The most powerful sentence in media today is, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	And that only works if you have an RSS feed.
	It can be audio or video, for all I care.
	So I consider...
	So it's the RSS that's important, not anything else.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	That is my judgment, is so be it.
	Yeah, well, you'd probably be the guy.
	Okay, Robert, by the way, I should mention I got another note from someone.
	I don't know if we have it listed anywhere, but somebody said that they noticed that Tucker Carlson is claiming that Joe Rogan invented podcasting.
	I don't think he said he invented podcasting.
	I think he said he was the first guy, the pioneer.
	And it's okay, because it's okay.
	I don't mind.
	I don't think so.
	And I appreciate that, that you say that.
	Well, I'm not saying it insincerely.
	No, I know you're not.
	I know you're not.
	Robert Pett is up.
	He's in Sacramento, California.
	A hundred bucks.
	Lynn Weigert in Maplewood, Minnesota.
	One hundred dollars.
	And she's got a birthday call for Shirley Furious at Twin Cities.
	Yes.
	She sent a nice note.
	Thank you very much.
	Vince, I think there's something in there for you.
	Vince Levitchi.
	Levitchi.
	In Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
	8008.
	There we go.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Lynn, she did say that this is...
	I have to mention this because it's a birthday.
	My eldest Alex, a.k.a.
	Surly Furious of the Twin Cities, is having a birthday on October 11th as my birthday gift to him.
	This is an awesome mom.
	I'm making a donation in his name.
	He didn't ask for any jingles, but I'd like to hear the backup to the backup to the backup.
	A backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the backup to the backup.
	He and his beautiful wife are having human resource number four this month.
	I have ordered the No Agenda onesie from the No Agenda shop.
	Noagendashop.com.
	Thank you for all the in-depth media deconstruction work you both do.
	So very glad No Agenda exists.
	Thank you, Wynn.
	Thank you.
	Lynn is very kind of you.
	Lynn.
	I'm glad we caught that one.
	Yes.
	So the No Agenda shop has onesies?
	They do.
	They do.
	Yeah, it's great.
	Kevin McLaughlin, Concord, North Carolina, the Archduke of Luna, lover of American boobs, comes in with the 8008 donation, along with William Galt in Naples, Florida, 8008.

	Half an hour down the road.
	Kerrville.
	Right down the road.
	You take a left at the gas station.
	The only one in the area.
	It's where they have the jail for the criminally insane.
	They got the criminally insane there.
	They do.
	Sir Jackson, and hopefully Paul's not one of them.
	Sir Jackson in Leveland, Texas, 5270.
	These are all $50 donations, the name and location they should do.
	But we do have Barron Anonymous Cop, our buddy in Redwood City, also a fellow ham, 5150.
	Cole Dial in Farina, Illinois, 5050, which refers to, I think, Kerrville.
	And now we've got the $50 donors.
	There's not a lot of people today.
	No, that's 5150.
	Oh, 51, you're right.
	51-50.
	Yeah, 50-50 is just a bar that's half sherbet and half ice cream.

	We just heard her.

	I'm sorry.
	She's the dame.
	My title change is Baroness Knight.

	A little mishap there in the administration.
	And congratulations, Viscountess Knight.

	We appreciate you very, very much.
	And now, time to roll out those Commodores.

	Commodore Smooth Texas Highways.
	Commodore Dalton S. Fisher arriving.
	Living. .
	Sorry if I freak you out with that one.
	I grabbed the wrong one.

	You did.
	That one hurt.
	Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
	That hurt much less.
	There you go.
	Welcome, Commodores.
	You can go to NoAgendaRings.com and there will be a Commodore form for you to fill out what you want exactly on your Commodore certificate.

	Make fun of me.
	You don't want to make fun of the Commodores because it's beautiful.
	It's a beautiful certificate.
	It has a nice Commodore seal on it.
	Ray's seal, the real deal, with blue little ribbons that hang off of it.
	It will impress your friends, your neighbors, and your co-workers.
	Perfect framed.
	Yes, it is perfect.
	Now, we do have that one dame, so we'll pull out our dame blade here.
	I got the dame blade right here.
	Here we go, Lydia Terry Dominelli.
	I almost gave you a title upgrade.
	Instead, you are about to join the roundtable.
	We are very happy to have you here and very proud to pronounce the K-U as...
	Dame Pre-K, Dame of the No Agenda Roundtable for you.

	You're swinging for the fences with the ISO list here from what I can see.
	I only have one because I spent my time doing other things.
	Here it is.
	And I love it.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	Ooh.
	Oh, I picked a good one.
	Yeah.
	Well, I've got five.
	Yes, I noticed.
	Let's start at the bottom.
	Let's start with unstable.
	Unstable and unhinged.
	Her voice is quite grating to me, but yes.
	Yeah, well, that's the voice of a Brahmin.
	Now, here's one you will like, premium.
	Premium, okay.
	It's premium content.
	Ooh, yes, I do like that.
	It's premium content.
	Content.
	Nice, nice.
	Go with nuts.
	The situation is nuts.
	That's also good.
	A little muddy.
	Too muddy.
	Kidding me.
	Ah!
	No, that's really bad.
	That's no good.
	And then the last one I like a lot, which is Hello!
	Hello!
	We have a winner.
	Wow.
	I would have to say, for me, it's between mine.
	And I love it!
	I love it!
	I love it!
	And...
	It's premium content.
	I'm kind of leaning.
	How about this?
	The two combined is dynamite.
	I love it, I love it, I love it.
	It's premium content.
	Let me see.
	And I love it, I love it, I love it.
	It's premium content.
	I think we have a winner.
	We're going to go with that.
	And now, ladies and gentlemen, as always, the most best part of the show is the tip of the day!
	Great advice for you and me.
	Just the tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam.
	Okay.
	Okay, so I've been cooking over fire for the last 40, 50 years.
	What kind of fire?
	Fire.
	Just fire?
	Open fire?
	Fire.
	I've used every kind of cooking thing ever.
	Fire.
	And you look on these vertical smokers.
	One of the best ones, if you ever find it, they got bought out by Brinkman and they ruined the brand, which is a Cajun cooker, which is a dynamite vertical cooker that used charcoal, but...
	I'm...
	Now's the time to start experimenting, because people get these Traegers, like Horowitz has one of them.
	I have a pit boss.
	They become very expensive.
	Really?
	Well, the Traegers cost a lot of money.
	I mean, the purchase price is not...
	It was a gift for my 60th birthday, so it was free!
	So what do you say to that?
	Yeah, well, that's a good deal.
	Um...
	So, I'm experimenting now and I'm thinking this is the way to go.
	These things are, for people who are amateurs, they don't want to learn how to use a new device.
	Take a look at the MasterBuild.
	This is the one I have.
	It's a MasterBuild 30-inch digital electric that uses smoke pellets.
	Not pellets, but chunks.
	You could probably put smoke pellets in it.
	Yeah.
	And you plug and go.
	You just set it for 12 hours or 15 hours or 16 hours and just let it rip.
	And you set it outside, though, right?
	Yeah, duh.
	You put it outside.
	It's a funny-looking box that looks like a professional smoker, only it's smaller.
	It looks like a small refrigerator.
	It locks.
	And seals.
	And you can put four pork butts in it.
	You can put two, not one, but two 12-pound turkeys in the thing.
	Whoa!
	It holds a lot.
	It's got four racks.
	And it's a vertical smoker.
	And the one model I was playing with is the M1. The M820071117. Now, what does this run you, this device?
	What is the typical manufacturer suggested retail, MSRP? The manufacturer suggested price is $250.
	Oh, that's affordable.
	It's affordable.
	I got it during the Amazon Prime days for $188.
	So, they put them on sale.
	That's a Hitler number, 88.
	You bought a Nazi device.
	Yeah, Heil Hitler.
	That's what the 88 stands.
	But it's only one 88.
	Oh, okay.
	This, for people who like the idea of cooking slow and low, this thing won't go beyond 270 degrees.
	It's basically designed to cook at 220 to 270.
	Yeah, that sounds right.
	When you're using fire, you have to be careful because the fire, a good Texas-style side burner, don't get up to, all of a sudden you go out there and the thing's at 350, 375.
	Because it's on fire.
	Yeah.
	Because there's fire involved.
	And this to me is something of a cheat.
	And I just wanted to learn how to use it, but it's a cheat that I think a lot of people would probably benefit from, because I don't think everyone really wants to cook with wood, burning wood, constantly.
	And it's just an idea for people out there that, you know, you don't want to spend the 500 bucks for a Traeger or a propane device.
	No, the troll room is saying it's a Zyklon B vertical smoker.
	They're sick, John.
	I'm sorry.
	They're sick.
	They're sick.
	This is a good tip, and you can find all of John's tips at tipoftheday.net or at noagendafund.com, both outstanding websites.
	This is a great tip.
	I really like it.
	That price can't be beat.
	Can't be beat, I tell you.
	And it'll give people the opportunity to cook...
	To cook properly, which is a slow cooking, slow cooking with smoke.
	And you can also buy an accessory for it, which I haven't bought yet, but I know I'm going to eventually.
	For about $60, it's an accessory that slips into where you put your wood chips for smoking.
	It slips into that and smokes on the side, and you can cold smoke.
	Cold smoking is an art.
	Are you done?
	Yeah, I'm done.
	I'm sorry.
	No commercials.
	More content.
	Your no-agenda tip of the day.
	That's right.
	Don't worry, I'll edit that.
	It'll sound so professional.
	Woo!
	Bull smoke.
	That's right.

	They've been swapping out the head pipes for copper.
	She said hopper.
	How come we don't get gigs like this?
	This is a great gig.
	I wanted to swap and hopper.
	I have watched from the Oval Office to the Situation Room.
	And he has the judgment and the experience.
	You and I both know what I'm talking about.
	You and I both know what I'm talking about.
	I actually don't.
	What are you talking about?
	What I'm talking about is that it's an election for President of the United States.

	Kamala Harris is losing.
	She's not gonna win.
	What you thought you was doing, Barack Obama?
	Boy, you just stepped out there.
	All you did was piss black men on black men.
	Man, look, look, look, check this out.
