This is your award-winning Gilbo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1705.
This is No Agenda.
And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where we realize now that Lizzo can fly commercial.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
She can fly commercial?
Yeah, she's lost a lot of weight.
You know, it's funny you say that because, of course, I think you have the clip.
We all saw her shilling for Kamala in Detroit.
And I'm like laughing at what she's saying and Tina's saying, is she thin?
Is she thin?
Is she on the O? I guess that word has been out there, that she's on the O, the big O. On the O, is that what they're saying?
Yeah, on the O. I mean, the term is on the O. I think we made that up on the show.
Well, it's pretty good.
Yeah, you got the O face, you're on the O, you got the O butt.
Yeah, you're on the O. She's on the O. Should we play this clip?
Because now that we've referred to it.
This is Lizzo in one of the rallies.
She was invited to shill for Kamala.
So they get people to the rally to watch her perform.
That's a good bit that she's doing there.
And she says this.
I'm so proud to be from this city.
You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.
Okay?
Proud like Detroit!
Resilient like Detroit!
Yeah, no, you can't take it back.
You know, you can't jump in with proud like Detroit.
I used to notice that too.
Yeah, she's like, whoops, I misread the prompter.
I mean, proud like Detroit.
Oh, man, that's great.
I noticed that you could just see that she was thinking to herself, oh, that's not, oh, no, what am I going to do here?
I'm going to save this.
And the sad thing is, you know, Detroit, I mean, I've been to Detroit, I've been to the Motor City.
It has been through some tough times.
No disrespect to Detroit, but that's not exactly what you want in your presidential campaign.
Detroit has become a shadow of itself, of its former self.
Ever since Natalie and Clayton started selling homes there.
Heyo!
Heyo!
Sorry, don't Google that.
You know, so this is a pretty old trick to bring in, you know, music superstars, have them perform.
Kamala's really taken it to the max in this case.
What I find interesting is, well, actually, I think it's very risky to Do you know all of the star power she's been bringing out?
Well, there's been a lot of it, but one of the riskiest one, I think, is Usher.
Yes!
Pop superstar Lizzo today in her hometown of Detroit revving up the crowd.
I'm proud to say that I voted.
I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris.
And I voted often.
The Grammy winner lending her celebrity to Vice President Kamala Harris as early voting began today in Detroit.
We're going to go vote today.
We're going to remind people to vote.
We're going to register folks to vote.
What time is it?
It's voting time!
Rallygoers headed straight from the event to the polls.
I want to go out early and get it done.
Harris going after former President Donald Trump's fitness for office.
He's becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged.
And hitting two battleground states today.
Heading from Michigan to Georgia for a rally in Atlanta alongside another celebrity.
R&B and pop star, Usher.
The Harris campaign leaning into star power to shine a light on the vice president.
You know, Usher deleted all of his tweets once the Diddy stuff came out.
Yes, he's got his tit in a ring or whatever.
Yeah, I think that's rather dangerous.
I don't think that Kamala's aware of any of the bitty stuff.
Just before we started the show, all the timelines were filled with Trump scooping fries at McDonald's.
So we can say that he worked at McDonald's longer than Vice President Harris?
I think that's pretty funny.
That's pretty funny.
Now, for people who went to church this morning in America, I'm sure that this came up in the conversation, and I have the two clips here.
One, which now that I'm listening to both, sounds sweetened with crowd noise versus the recording in the crowd.
So this is after Vice President Harris is talking about Trump.
Hand-selecting, hand-picking three Supreme Court judges.
Have we all forgotten that they have to go through confirmation and that Senate actually approves them?
Yeah.
He hand-picks them.
He just says, you.
Yeah.
The same way he killed the bill.
He killed the border bill.
He just killed it.
He killed it.
He's not even in Congress, but he managed to kill the bill.
He just called everybody and said, kill it.
I'm in charge.
I'm Trump, man.
So she was just finished talking about the right to have an abortion.
And they did as he intended.
Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.
No.
So, what apparently was shouted was, Christ is King, Jesus is Lord.
Here is the audience version.
Christ is King!
So I don't know.
I don't know if she actually heard what was said or not, but this is, uh, this is of course being used now to get the Christians out to vote.
you Good luck.
Oh, no, they're really trying.
They're really trying.
Oh, they can try, yeah.
But the Hill had kind of a semi, like an October surprise let.
Yeah.
So it's kind of like a giblet.
It's not really a surprise, but I thought this was pretty interesting.
Oopsie!
Oopsie!
Did he say oopsie?
Well, he's from the hill.
We have to start using that now.
Oopsie?
Instead of hello, let's use oopsie.
There you go.
Oopsie!
Oopsie.
It appears that Vice President Kamala Harris plagiarized parts of her 2009 criminal justice book.
That's according to new reporting from City Journal's Christopher Rufo.
Rufo reports that, quote, Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal justice book.
It was titled Smart on Crime, according to a new investigation.
The current vice president even lifted material from Wikipedia.
Now, Rufo's team found that multiple violations were comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay's doctoral thesis.
CNN also reviewed several of the passages highlighted by Rufo, found that Harris and her co-author failed to properly attribute language to sources.
As an example, Rufo points out that in one section of the book, Harris, without proper attribution, quote,"...reproduced extensive sections from a John Jay College of Criminal Justice press release." She and her co-author passed off the language as their own, copying multiple paragraphs virtually verbatim.
As another example, in a section about a New York court program, Harris, quote, stole long passages directly from Wikipedia, which is long considered an unreliable source by some.
She not only assumes that online encyclopedia's accuracy but copies its language nearly verbatim without citing the source.
That's from Rufo.
Oh no!
A political book is full of crap?
Oh no!
Say it ain't so!
Well, Ruffo is a kind of a character because he goes after plagiarism.
Oh, that's what he does.
That's his thing.
Yeah, it's his thing.
And he got that Harvard woman blown out of the water because of her plagiarism.
But I have to question the...
The validity of any of this from a writer's perspective.
Now, I don't do this because if I was going to quote Wikipedia, I'd say, Wikipedia says.
And then I'd have the thing in there.
No, you would have said, sources tell me.
I'd never do that.
But the...
It's legitimate.
The press releases are put out there for you to steal from.
That's what they're there for.
Oh, sure, sure.
Ideally, when you send a press release to a writer, ideally, they'll just use it verbatim.
That's what you want.
In fact, the press releases usually include questions for you to ask.
I see those all the time.
Sometimes they will, but generally speaking, a press release would be a complete article written, including quotes from people, from various people.
Yes, yes.
And so you can just use it.
And Wikipedia is public domain for all practical purposes, and you can pretty much steal from it if you want to.
So I don't think any of this is plagiarism, to be honest about it.
Because plagiarism is when you take from a copyrighted work, not a public domain, but from a copyrighted work that somebody else did, and then you make it your own.
I think this is a very gray area, and I wouldn't have condemned it.
I will throw one flag up.
I just looked at the Creative Commons license that Wikipedia uses, Attribution Share Alike 4.0 International, which means you are free to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially.
You may adapt it, remix, transform, build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

So she has violated, violated the copyright.
Alright.
Okay, you got me.
And now that I'm speaking like an Indian...
The Brahmin.
The Brahmins have spoken.
We received an email from Sir Abs, dear Adam and John.
As a Brahmin knight, I am officially denouncing Kamala Harris on behalf of my community.
Adam said in the last show that no Brahmins have written into the show denouncing Kamala, so you're going to assume Brahmins back Kamala just because of her cast.
I'm letting you know this is not the case.
We want nothing to do with her.
She's a swamp creature, and we're just as fed up as everyone else is with these types.
I was very amused by that note.
It's great!
Well, we had to go back and say, come on, we need some explanation.
It came in two notes.
We did have to kind of coax it out of him a little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah.
Very entertained by the Chris Wallace show on CNN on Saturdays.
Well, I'm glad you got clips of that.
Oh, well, it's, you know, my favorite person is on the show.
Yes, you seem to have...
I'm now thinking you're obsessed.
Ha!
I listened to the professor and Kara Swisher to understand what the liberal media is thinking, because they just put it out there.
As an example, they are completely convinced that Trump just decided to start saying nothing at one of his rallies for 16 minutes.
Oh, this is the one where the poor woman almost died in his crowd?
No, no, no.
That was the dance party.
Which also just happened for no reason.
It was no reason.
Oh, this is when the microphone went out?
Yes, the whole sound system went out.
The microphone went out.
What's he supposed to do?
Yeah, and they're like, this is dementia.
This is dementia.
God, what is wrong with these people?
Dementia, I'm telling you.
Well, what is wrong?
This is why I listen to it.
It's very hard to...
By the way, no one watches MSNBC. Nobody watches CNN. There's some people who watch Fox more than the others, but even that, a lot of those shows no one watches.
The only reason why the mainstream is kept alive is carrier fees, which are carriage fees, which are diminishing quickly as people cut the cord, and the fact that people post clips of it.
Yeah, there's more viewing of the clips than there is of the shows.
Absolutely.
So if people would stop posting clips, then no one would know what they said.
But, oh no, we can't do that because...
We can't!
I'm a reporter!
I'm a reporter!
I'm on X! I'm reporting on this!
This is an outrage!
Anyway, I'm just as bad, obviously.
Without the mainstream, we have no show.
Or we'd just be deconstructing Lix Friedman.
We could be deconstructing pockets or we can read stuff from printed material and deconstruct that.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
We could get AI voices to read them.
Man, France 24 is using that AI voice all the time now.
Complete packages are just read by that AI voice.
Oh, that's no good.
I don't think so either.
It's not an offensive voice.
It will come up later.
I don't remember which clip it is.
Anyway.
I have a couple of AI clips for that.
Here is the Chris Wallace show, and they're talking about Kamala Harris not being a communist.
She's not a communist!
She's not a communist!
Stop it!
I have to say, though, I am just so exhausted by the idea that she is...
This is Lulu, by the way.
Lulu.
Lulu Garcia.
Yes, Lulu, who no one's ever heard of.
She's made a name for herself recently.
She's a New York Times reporter.
I looked her up.
I have to say, I was more impressed than you are letting on here.
Let me see.
She was NPR's bureau chief in Mexico City, Baghdad, and Jerusalem.
Oh, that sounds suspicious.
Spook much?
And no spook.
Opened the bureau...
No, it's...
Oopsie!
Opened the bureau in Rio de Janeiro.
Her coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and dispatches of the Arab Spring uprisings brought...
Her name is Garcia Navarro.
Multiple awards...
In 2012, including the Edward R. Murrow Award, Peabody Awards, plural, for her coverage of the Libyan Revolt.
We came, we saw, he died.
And, most importantly, her series on the Amazon rainforest.
Won a Peabody finalist.
Hey, we should say finalist.
That's not winning.
That's not winning, it's just nothing.
She started her career as a freelance journalist for the BBC World Service and Voice of America.
Hello, speak me!
Wow!
Okay, you got me flat-footed here.
I had no idea that this was this girl's background.
Voice of America!
She did a good job of staying under the radar, as far as I'm concerned.
Well, both...
I mean, all world services, certainly the BBC World Service.
You know, before I... When I was still working at the pirate radio station, I was...
Someone had said, hey, this guy does stuff in English.
He does radio.
And the Dutch World Service interviewed me or had me in for an interview to see if I wanted to work for them.
And what was that guy's name?
It was...
Well, he was a British guy.
And I was like, why is a British guy running the Dutch Veedelsumru, the World Service for the Netherlands?
And much later I realized, of course, he was a British spook.
Yes, MI6 probably.
MI6, of course.
So when you're a freelance journalist for the BBC World Service and Voice of America, traveling to Cuba, Syria, Panama, and several European countries.
All these blazes.
Wow.
So, at least we know a little bit more about our friend Lulu here.
I'm impressed.
Alright, here we go.
I have to say, though, I am just so exhausted by the idea that she is so far left and that she's a communist.
They tried this for Biden in 2020.
Biden's a communist.
No, they did not!
By the way, stop!
This is what...
Yeah, I saw this series, too, and it was like...
And I didn't clip it, but it was like, who, when, and where did they call Biden a communist?
Do you remember this?
We covered the campaign very closely.
When was Biden ever called a communist?
I don't think he has ever been called a communist.
I don't think so either.
So why do they drop this little nugget?
This Biden was also called a communist.
Why is this nugget?
This has to be for a reason.
Now that you bring up that she's a spook, it has to be for some spook reason.
It was Jonathan Marks who ran the Dutch World Service.
Let me see if I can look.
MI6. Let me see.
No, you're still preoccupied with that.
Anyway.
Who was that guy who tried to...
You could have been a spook.
They tried this for Biden in 2020.
Biden's a communist.
If he gets into power, the entire country's going to collapse.
I mean, this is something I hear in Miami all the time.
She said a lot of pretty far-left things.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry, I'm having to do this.
No, no, no, it's okay, because I understand this is why the clip has been chosen.
Did she say she's hearing this in Miami?
Oh, there's a lot going on in Miami.
Yes, there's a reason she's...
I have the other clips why she's hearing that.
Okay, I'm going to try to shut up.
No, no, no.
Interrupt as much as you want.
Entire country's going to collapse.
I mean, this is something I hear in Miami all the time.
She said...
I'm not saying she hasn't, but Biden was not a communist.
The country hasn't fallen into communism.
And I will say that she, in 2019, said some things that definitely fall into the progressive camp, which she has now recanted.
Although never explaining why.
We're not good enough.
You had this view on decriminalization.
You had this view.
What's your explanation?
My values haven't changed.
What happened with Donald Trump and abortion?
I don't want to do the whataboutism.
I don't want to do the whataboutism.
What I want to say is there is a real question about what does Kamala Harris actually believe.
And that is, I think, a fair question to be pressed on.
I'm not saying that it isn't.
What I think is not fair is just the extrapolation from that, that somehow she is the next sort of Mao Zedong that's going to come over here.
I don't know that anybody's saying that, but anyway, Donald Trump.
We're going to get to talk about Donald Trump now.
All right, I'm going to do the Donald Trump bit because Kara's featured on that.
Then I'm going to come back to this Miami thing, which plays into what Lulu was saying.
There is no proof that tech companies colluded to do this.
This is nonsense, and he knows it.
No, I'm sorry.
There was a major institutional effort to suppress that story.
Listen, I have been one of the biggest critics of tech.
This is nonsense.
Absolutely nonsense.
And when he just sort of discounts...
She's, by the way, biggest critic of tech.
What you do is you go advertise on the Pivot podcast.
Apple advertises on Pivot.
I don't think Apple has advertised on anything.
In podcasting.
They advertise on Pivot and Kamala.
Kara's all like, oh, I love the new iPhone.
I love the Vision Pro.
Makes so much sense.
Yes, spatial computing is great.
They are bought and sold for on that show.
I'm saying it.
Biggest critics of tech.
This is nonsense.
Absolutely nonsense.
And when he just sort of discounts, ah, the court cases.
Dozens and dozens of them.
Wasn't the New York Post thrown off Twitter?
They were, and then they...
Scott, let me try again to explain to you what actually happened.
They made a mistake.
She's trying to correct the Hunter Biden laptop story where the New York Post...
Was kicked off Twitter, and now she's trying to say, no, no, no, they made a mistake and they corrected it.
This is quite unbelievable.
Was the New York Post thrown off Twitter?
They were, and then they...
Scott, let me try again to explain to you what actually happened.
Oh, that's mansplaining.
They made a mistake.
I actually did.
And I lived through it, too.
They threw the New York Post and just threw it off Twitter.
Scott, let's look carefully.
She's actually done...
I mean, she's done the work.
It's really hard to deal with you.
You want to insult me?
No, I'm not insulting you.
You're lying.
You're lying.
I don't know why you keep repeating things that aren't true.
Did they get thrown off Twitter?
They did, and then they said that we made a mistake, and they put them right back on.
No, they did not put them right back on.
No, and he even says it was after the election, and listen to her lie.
...things that aren't true.
Did they get thrown off Twitter?
They did, and then they said that we made a mistake, and they put them right back on, just like CNN does, just like the New York Times.
It wasn't after the election.
It was during the time, and they switched Jack Dorsey's switch.
During the time when they switched back, Dorsey switched.
Kara Swisher, shame on you.
So I think what the issue is, is you think Twitter is the government.
You think Twitter is running things.
And there is not this wide collusion.
And Gene Vance knows that because he's worked in tech.
He knows there are...
Do you see what she's saying?
There was not widespread collusion.
It's so nasty.
I think what the issue is, is you think Twitter is the government.
You think Twitter is running things.
Who said that?
Who on the panel said that they think Twitter is the government?
Nobody said that.
But that's Scott Jensen, I think, the guy who's supposedly a conservative.
But then here comes the lie.
Oh, you know, these phony, by the way...
These shows, because I was watching one the other day, I was going to take some clips on this.
It's like, what's the point?
It's futile.
Oh, it's fun.
They have a fake...
It was on one of the shows.
I'm trying to think which one.
I can think in a minute.
But it's one of the MSNBC shows where you have the...
We have a Democrat and a Republican strategist.
And the Republican strategist is someone no one's ever heard of.
She worked for Cuomo, and she was...
She hates Trump.
I mean, what kind of...
This is bullcrap.
They listen to these phony balonies.
It's like bringing...
Oh, here's Adam Kissinger, you know, who represented the Republican Party, and he's going to be standing here with Liz Cheney, who's endorsing a bunch of Democrats for various congressional offices in Texas.
This is bullcrap that people...
Anyone believe this?
I'm sorry.
No?
You think Twitter is running things, and there's not this wide collusion.
Wide collusion.
There's not this wide collusion.
It's narrow collusion.
Narrow.
Come on, Kara.
You are a disgrace to podcasting.
Ooh, that's coming from the Podfather.
The Podfather has spoken.
Because he's worked in tech.
He knows there's no such thing as big tech.
There are big tech companies.
They do not collude on this issue.
Thank you.
Thank you for setting me up perfect.
Okay, so it was actually NPR. Who are leading the story on what's happening with the Latinos, the Hispanics, the Cubanos in Miami.
And they're baffled.
There was a Marist poll that showed nearly 60% will support Trump in November.
Now, Florida has also had this long and significant population of conservative Cuban-Americans.
But I'm just curious, like, what's causing this?
What's behind the movement?
How about the Democrat Party sucks?
Yeah, I mean, I think Miami-Dade County in South Florida is a very specific example, right?
So Miami-Dade County, of course, it's the most populous county in the state.
It has a lot of political power, but the majority are, to your point, they're Cuban-American, conservative Cuban-Americans.
So I think for decades...
How come they don't say far-right?
Cuban Americans.
How come now it's just conservative Cuban Americans?
You guys got to get your style guide right.
Cuban American, conservative Cuban Americans.
So I think for decades, Republicans have been doing something really well, and that is sort of casting Democrats as socialists, no, as communists, sort of.
Manipulating the meaning of words so that right now, if you turn on the radio, if you turn on some of the local news, it's pretty common to hear that Vice President Kamala Harris is Comrade Harris, right?
So that's a very intentional sort of effort.
But wait, didn't George Soros buy all the radio stations?
How can this be?
That makes no sense.
He bought all the Latino radio stations.
He was going to...
Flip the election with the stupid Spanish people who listen to AM radio, huh?
Vice President Kamala Harris is Comrade Harris, right?
And so that's a very intentional sort of effort that's not new.
It's been happening for decades.
And so I'm not completely surprised that Donald Trump could potentially become the first Republican presidential candidate to win the Ladino vote in Florida in the last 20 years.
And he's working hard to do it this election.
Here he is in a town hall this week with Univision when he was asked about immigration.
They're coming in totally, nobody knows who they are, where they come from, and the people that are most against it are the Hispanic people.
They are totally against what's happened.
They're eating the dogs!
That's the world's greatest...
That's the clip of the year.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you want to hear more of that, or are you convinced?
Yeah, I find this hilarious.
Oh, yeah.
And this guy is just feigning.
I don't understand.
Are there people of color?
That makes no sense.
How can they like Hitler, Stalin, Nazi?
I'm struck by something that he said there.
He said the people that are most against it, this illegal immigration subject that he talks so much about, are the people who came in legally, turd, or Hispanic.
What do you make of that?
I mean, look, even it's kind of surreal that Donald Trump feels so comfortable stepping into Miami-Dade County where there's so many immigrants and so comfortable stepping into these Spanish-language spaces like Univision.
Spanish?
What spaces?
Hold on a second.
What are these spaces?
Spanish language spaces.
Oh, is that on X? A Spanish language space?
Into Miami-Dade County, where there's so many immigrants and so comfortable stepping into these Spanish language spaces like Univision and using this anti-immigrant rhetoric.
I mean, if we were having this conversation five, ten years ago, I honestly wouldn't believe that.
But I think that comfort level is exactly what places like Fox News are paying attention to.
Now, hold on a second.
Is this this woman?
No, this is not Lulu.
Lulu's coming back up in a moment.
Who's this?
This is some other NPR expert, because when you're doing a story on Latin Americans...
I like the racist angle that she uses, as if, if you're a Hispanic, you have to love every illegal that comes in if they have brown skin.
Yeah.
Not recognizing the fact that even the white population in the turn of the century...
The white population, the Italians, and whoever was in the country hated the Irish, who were also white.
That's right.
When they came in, they didn't like them.
And in fact, when the Italians came in, the whites that were already there didn't like the other...
These are whites not liking whites coming in.
Why wouldn't Hispanics exhibit the same characteristics?
Unless they're racist, like this woman is obviously racist.
NPR, the National Public Racist.
Comfort level...
It's exactly what places like Fox News are paying attention to.
And it's this comfort level that I think stems from the idea that the polls are showing that a majority of Latinos, including foreign-born Latinos, aren't insulted when Donald Trump uses this anti-immigrant rhetoric.
They see this sort of wall between...
You're right.
She can only see color of skin.
Like, anti-illegal immigration rhetoric, but, I mean, I... This is the Democrats' dilemma.
They are inherently racist to the bone.
Themselves as Latinos and the other as immigrants.
Talk more about that, because in this town hall, he doubled down on his false argument that migrants were eating people's pets in Ohio.
You're right.
They're eating the dogs!
That's just so racist that he said that.
False argument that migrants were eating people's pets in Ohio.
You're right.
This anti-immigrant rhetoric, it doesn't seem to be doing anything to erode his support with these voters at all, but I don't understand that.
Because they're not eating their pets.
Look, I mean, I think immigration is the closing argument for Donald Trump, right?
I think he's very intentionally trying to reenact that 2016 build-the-wall moment and now getting an even more visceral reaction through send them back.
And I think the difference between 2020 and 2024 is that they've understood that even Latinos, right, even the descendants of immigrants...
These people, they must get picked up by limo in the morning.
With blackened windows, so they don't see what's actually happening on the streets of America.
Or, you know, they're too busy reading their scripts or some things.
Like, don't you see that?
I think the limbo argument is probably the valid one.
Can tap into that nativism and that resentment and that anger.
It may not make sense, but just from a practical level, if you have someone that is creating such fear through fear-mongering and missing disinformation...
And trying to get Americans to believe that there's this existential threat happening in your door.
Like, people believe that, no?
And so I think the tactic is simple.
Get people to vote out of fear.
Well, I don't know about you, Ms.
NPR, but right down the road in San Antonio, 20 Venezuelan gang members were arrested who had apartment complexes completely under siege.
So that's kind of on my doorstep.
So I don't know.
You're in the limo reading your scripts.
All right.
So now we'll go to Lulu because Lulu interviewed J.D. Vance.
And again, it's about the Hunter laptop and the big tech censorship because for some reason...
Lulu, she is the New York Times comment, is the New York Times podcast, I think.
She just can't see that that actually happened, or she hasn't looked up, you know, the timeline, or I don't know.
In the debate, you were asked to clarify if you believe Trump lost the 2020 election.
Do you believe he lost the 2020 election?
I think that Donald Trump and I have both raised a number of issues with the 2020 election, but we're focused on the future.
I think there's an obsession here with focusing on 2020.
I'm much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide open border, groceries that are unaffordable.
And look- Senator, yes or no?
Yes or no.
Yes or no.
I'm Lulu.
I'm from the New York Times.
Senator, yes or no.
It's a yes or no question.
Do they think they're in Congress?
Because Congress does a lot of times.
I know.
That's exactly what it sounds like.
It's a congressional...
Well, she's obvious.
If you're thesis...
Thesis.
What kind of a thesis is it?
What do you mean thesis?
She's an obvious spook.
My facts.
My facts.
You're bringing this up.
She has got the government mentality.
She's a government asset.
So she's going to act like one.
Yes or no?
Exactly.
Unaffordable.
Senator, yes or no?
By the way, that sounds like an edit, too.
Maybe it's just me.
Border, groceries that are unaffordable.
Senator, yes or no?
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
Let me ask you a question.
Is it okay...
Oh, good one, Vance.
...that big technology companies censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, which independent analysts have said cost Donald Trump millions of votes?
Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again.
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested would have cost Trump millions of votes?
Senator Vance, I'm going to ask you again, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
And I've answered your question with another question.
You answer my question and I'll answer yours.
My brain is melting from this nonsense.
But let's keep it going.
Let's keep it going.
Because now we get some new terms.
I like it when it turns into a pissing contest.
Oh, Vance is good at that.
No, Vance is...
I'm actually more impressed with this guy over the...
You didn't like him in the beginning.
You were not a fan.
I did not like him.
I think without his beard, especially without his beard, he looks like a young, mean-spirited Rush Limbaugh.
He looks like Rush Limbaugh without his beard.
And he's cocky.
But the beard, I think the beard softens his look and makes you think differently about him because it's a modern look.
And when you start listening to him do his thing, he is so sharp that you have to start to like him.
All right, we continue now.
New terms.
for the American people to know.
There is no proof, legal or otherwise, that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.
You're repeating a slogan rather than engaging with what I'm saying, which is that when our own technology firms engage in industrial-scale censorship, by the way, back...
Industrial-scale censorship? ...by the federal government in a way that independent studies suggest affect the votes...
I'm worried about Americans who feel like there were problems in 2020.
I'm not worried about this slogan that people throw.
Well, every court case went this way.
I'm talking about something very discreet, a problem of censorship in this country that I do think affected things in 2020, and more importantly, that led to Kamala Harris's governance, which has screwed this country up in a big way.
All right.
These are pretty short, so one more here.
Senator, would you have certified the election in 2020?
Yes or no?
I've said that I would have voted against certification because of the concern that I just raised.
I think that when you have technology companies censoring Americans at a mass scale in a way that, again, independent studies have suggested affect the vote, I think that it's right to protest against that, to criticize that, and that's a totally reasonable thing.
So the answer is no.
Oh, Lulu.
All right, this final one will bring us to another important topic.
Now I have to follow this woman because of what all you brought up.
Oh, no, she's an important character.
Because she's obviously been brought to the fore.
Mm-hmm.
Because I never heard of her.
Until this recent, you know, she's been obviously showing up here and there.
Out of the blue, by the way, does she have an agent?
How do you do that?
Oh, I'm sure she has an agent.
I'm sure she does.
You run into this reporter from the New York Times with an agent.
Out of the blue, she starts showing up on stuff.
She's just out of the blue.
She's now a player.
How does that work?
Well, it works because somebody else is behind it all.
And the last question, will you support the election results this time and commit to a peaceful transfer of power?
Well, first of all, of course, we commit to a peaceful transfer of power.
We are going to have a peaceful transfer of power.
I, of course, believe that peaceful transfer of power is going to make Donald Trump the next president of the United States.
But if there are problems, of course.
In the same way that Democrats protested in 2004 and Donald Trump raised issues in 2020, we're going to make sure that this election counts, that every legal ballot is counted.
We've filed almost 100 lawsuits at the RNC to try to ensure that every legal ballot has counted.
I think you would maybe criticize that.
We see that as an important effort to ensure election integrity, but certainly we're going to respect the results in 2024, and I feel very confident they're going to make Donald Trump the next president.
So about this peaceful transfer of power, and a lot of people email me this, and I think there's been some misunderstanding, and certainly, oh, let me say it, some misinformation about this presidential brief to the Department of Defense, which is DOD Directive 5240.01.
I'm sure you've received emails about this.
I watched a presentation on this particular...
By Jimmy Dore?
No, God, no, no.
By a guy whose ex is crazy, I think it's called S2 or S3, it's a podcast, but this guy's wearing a mask.
He claims to have been in the Department of Defense in that secretive little agency they have, which is the spookiest of the spook agencies.
I think we knew the DOD agency.
And he analyzes this to an extreme and I thought broke it down in a very reasonable...
He's good, this guy.
Well, let me tell you my takeaway and tell me if that fits with what the masked guy said.
Because, you know, this is a legal document.
And if you don't understand, this is an update to directive for the Department of Defense 521.0.56 from November of 2020.
So before January 6th, even, then you don't understand that this has been on the books for a long time.
He takes it back to 2007.
Yes, you can take it back further.
And it doesn't actually give permission for the military to come in and start shooting people.
At all.
What it does do, and this I think is actually more interesting than the way people are discussing it, is it broadens the special authority to bypass Congress.
So, in fact, it was not even Nancy Pelosi's call to bring in the National Guard or the military, and it gives the President and the Secretary of Defense more leeway to invoke this, which is assistance, but it's not necessarily a violation of the Posse Commentatus Act, which I'm against all of this.
In general, I don't think any of this is good, but it really makes...
Who was in charge of...
Who was the Secretary of Defense during January 6th?
I'm not sure.
Was that Milley?
I think it was Milley.
No, no, Milley was never the Secretary of Defense.
No, he was Joint Chiefs of Staff, right.
Well, I'm thinking this really strengthens Trump's case.
Even more.
And I'm not so sure why.
Well, yeah, you can argue that this is put in because they know Trump's going to win and that the nut jobs are going to be out.
We need some loosened authority.
But this is not new.
That's my point.
This is not really new.
But everyone approached like, oh my god, they're going to start killing MAGA if Trump loses.
First of all, I don't think MAGA is going to go crazy.
Second of all, I don't think that's on deck.
What does your masked man say?
He says it's really about using drones domestically.
Yeah, surveillance, exactly.
Surveillance.
Yeah, and that kind of stuff.
But you cannot deploy the military against American citizens.
There are some very specific...
There are cases where you can do that, which is mentioned in both of these, but it's really, you know, terrorism and a couple other things.
It's not for out-of-control protest.
Now, unfortunately, I want to get back on track to what you were talking about before you brought this in, which I didn't think applies, is that the end of that last back-and-forth with Trump, you know,
about the 2020 election, It's beyond me why Vance and all the rest of them don't bring up the fact that to this day Hillary thinks she won the 2016 election and it was a not my president era and Trump was it was a fraudulent and they went on and on and on to this day Hillary thinks she won 2016 and what's the difference between Trump thinking he won 2020
and Hillary to this day Thinking she won 2016, and the Democrats and the pundits, and nobody says anything about it, as though it never happened.
That's not exactly what she says.
She says, Russia stole it for Trump.
She's very smart about that.
She doesn't say, I won.
Okay, the point is, she still thinks she should have been president.
Yes.
Well, now you sound like Twitter.
I sound like who?
Twitter.
People on Twitter talk about this all the time.
Well, I don't talk about it on Twitter all the time.
I just repost funny clips.
I didn't say you talk about it on Twitter.
No.
And the more damning to me is the Democrats, including...
Hold on a second.
What?
This damn machine wants to...
It came up with a...
Oh, no.
Do you want to reboot now?
Oh, no.
No.
Sleep.
Later.
The little signish thing went...
It went away?
You can't stop it?
It's going to just reboot on you?
I don't know.
If I go offline, you know the reason why.
Keep moving the mouse.
Whatever you do, keep moving...
Keep moving the mouse.
No, more damning is when...
Who's the lady who ate the salad with her comb?
What?
Yeah, the senator who ate the...
She ran for president.
With the...
Ah, come on.
She ate the...
Elizabeth Warren?
No, no, Klobuchar.
Klobuchar.
Oh, Klobuchar, the one who throws the staplers.
Yeah, and who ate the salad with her fork.
Yeah.
I mean, with her comb.
With her comb.
She was on a panel with multiple Democrats saying, you know, the machines are rigged.
That's more damning to me, but that's not brought up very often.
Anyway, I do have...
Nothing is brought up.
This whole thing is a charade.
Well, no.
If people would stop posting crap on social media, no one would even be talking about it.
Well, that's not going to happen.
No, I know.
Now, you brought in a clip.
Which, again, this is one of these, what is wrong with Trump?
He says he's the father of IVF. That was a good one.
Yeah, but upon further analysis, you can interpret what he said in a different way.
And I'm going to set you up, but you're good enough at this to hear what you hear.
I think he says, I'm father of IVFs.
As in, he has fathered children through IVF. Listen carefully.
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 IVFs.
I want to hear this question.
He doesn't say I'm the father of IVFs.
He says I'm the father of IVFs.
He does.
He says IVFs.
So maybe Barron was IVFs.
Think about it.
Let that sink in.
Wow.
I'll give you that one.
You got two today.
Let's listen again.
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.
So, I think that one of his kids, at least, maybe, must be plural if he says IVFs, because there's a clear S in there.
Now, of course, he's just demented, so, you know, blah, blah, blah.
I want to bring a clip in because it's based on what you were just discussing about this Lula woman and her commentary.
Lulu.
Is it Lulu?
Yeah, Lulu.
That's her first name.
And the fact that the people are driving around in limos and they don't have a clue.
They're reading their scripts.
Which I believe is true.
It brings us to Anna Kasparian.
Oh, finally, Anna Kasparian.
I've been waiting for this clip.
Yes, because she has had an experience that kind of turned her off on certain kinds of thinking.
Now explain who she is first.
Anna Kasperian is the girl, the Armenian girl that sits next to Chunk Uyghur on the Young Turk show, which is on various cable networks.
And Uyghur is probably the father of the Socialist Democrats movement.
It's not got anything to do with it anymore, but he's the one probably behind, I would say...
She was very radical, certainly during...
She's an extreme...
She's a borderline communist.
Well, I don't know about that, but she was very hateful of Trump and very hateful of Republicans.
She's a very hateful girl, yeah.
Yeah, she was quite hateful.
And here she is now.
In 2022, it was around March, I was walking my dog.
It was not quite dark yet, but the sun was setting.
As I'm walking my dog, I see these two guys that...
They're eating the dogs!
In 2022, it was around March, I was walking my dog.
It was not quite dark yet, but the sun was setting.
As I'm walking my dog, I see these two guys that were...
They were just kind of like moving around weirdly, you know, they seem kind of manic and their clothes were tattered.
So I just I knew that they were probably homeless.
And I also knew that they're probably on something just based on like the twitchy way they were acting.
But Living in LA, I mean, I've...
There's homeless people everywhere, right?
So I've never had problems.
I didn't think anything of it.
But as I was bending down to pick up my dog's mess, one of the guys, like, grabs me by my hips, and he had an erection.
Oh, God.
And just starts, like...
Wait, who's still providing the commentary?
Oh, God, who did that?
That was Jillian.
Oh, Jillian Michaels?
Yeah.
This was an interview with Jillian Michaels on her podcast.
I like Jillian Michaels.
She's doing interesting shows these days.
One of the guys grabs me by my hips and he had an erection and just starts humping me.
Jillian, we might point out, is a lesbian, so it's extra interesting that she's giving this commentary.
I didn't know what to do.
I was terrified.
I didn't have a weapon on me.
I had no way of defending myself.
I didn't know how far it was going to go because it's two guys.
I'm by myself with my little dog.
That's terrifying.
It was one of the most terrifying things ever.
I believe that.
I'm pretty good at defending myself.
In that moment, I just knew there was no option.
No way.
Yeah.
And luckily, he stopped and they just laughed at me and walked away as they were laughing at me.
And so there was the fear and then the humiliation and weirdly shame.
Like, I felt ashamed for some reason.
And it was awful.
And it was...
Really taking a toll on my mental health because I have to walk my dog, right?
I can't wait.
I have not heard this clip.
I'm curious where this is going.
Two or three times a day, I'm going outside kind of scared.
And so I opened up about this on the show.
I'm not really thinking much of it.
And before I know it, I'm starting to get these messages.
And it's like really, really harsh stuff.
And it's about how you are painting a picture of the homeless community.
How could you be like this?
These are your unhoused neighbors and they need help.
A few people accused me of being racist when I had never disclosed the race of the individuals who did this to me.
And in fact, they were white.
And so when they started accusing me of being racist, I'm like, wait a minute.
Why are you assuming that the people who did this...
Of course.
Yeah, like, I think you might have a problem here.
Exactly.
Yeah, and that woke me up.
That woke me up because I'm like, oh my God.
Oh, well, that's interesting.
I didn't know that that was her awakening story.
Yeah.
And she's gone much further than that.
It wasn't the event itself, it was the reaction to her talking about it.
Right, right, right.
That woke her up, and she realized that she was amongst a-holes.
Because now she's being excoriated, and the left hate her, and are telling Chunk he should fire her, and...
Yeah.
She's out of the club.
And Chunk's keeping her for sure, because he likes her on the show.
She's a good foil.
She has good things to say, and she's a natural broadcaster.
She sure is.
And it's like, I'm sure she's going to end up becoming a Republican.
Well, if not, and she continues to be a journalist or a TV personality, according to Morning Joe, she's going to be on the list.
This isn't a Republican Party right now.
No.
And they know it.
So there are those who were like, wow, this isn't the party I recognize.
But what's the permission structure?
Are you hearing it from any of your Republican friends in the business community?
This, by the way, who you'll hear in a moment is Donnie Deutsch, former advertising executive.
That guy has lost control.
Yeah, he went from...
I mean, back in the day, and I'm talking mid-90s when I was in advertising in New York, Donnie Deutsch was...
Wow, Donnie Deutsch, man.
He's quite the dude.
And now he's just Donnie Douche.
That can be created for a vote for Kamala Harris at a time like this.
You know...
As we all talk to a lot of people who vote for Trump, and I say to them, and I still can't figure out, do they not believe it or do they not care?
Do they not understand that our freedom is on the line?
Do they not get that, or do they just not care?
Do they take freedom for granted at this point?
And I challenge people, and I say, you do understand that he will turn on this country, and he will turn us into Hungary.
Do you not understand the freedoms that started as you brought it up?
It started with Roe v.
Wade.
It will continue.
It will continue by putting his enemies in jail.
It will continue on having unfree media.
Are there people around this table that are really worried?
Rev, are you worried going forward that you're on a list if Donald Trump is elected?
Yes or no?
I'm convinced I'll be on the list.
I am too.
I don't know how we're not going to be.
And think about that.
This is America.
This is the United States of America, and people in the media, like the Rev, have to be concerned that they may be on a list.
I have people saying to me, Donnie, are you worried?
This is America.
Well, I'm on a list.
I'm on Trump's list.
I'm a journalist.
I'm going to be thrown in jail because he said that.
Except he didn't.
He never said that, and are they talking about the kind of list that Tulsi Gabbard is on, so she gets roused when she tries to get on air?
Is it a list like that?
Exactly.
No, this is it.
Well, we are in the final, what are we now, 14 days?
And you and I have just succumbed to it.
I mean, this is our fifth rodeo, and so we just have to, this is all that the news is.
There's some other interesting stuff that we'll talk about, but we're just going to go through it all with you.
For instance...
Breaking new evidence!
Former President Trump is calling the federal judge in this case, Tanya Chutkin, an evil person for releasing these nearly 2,000 pages of evidence submitted by special counsel Jack Smith.
In one of the depositions released today, a White House aide told investigators when Trump was informed...
Oh, here it comes.
This is the damning evidence.
...there was rioting at the Capitol January 6th.
He responded by saying, oh, really?
Let's go see.
Then the aide handed him the TV remote control.
Oh, no.
The aide said he then went to grab Trump a Diet Coke.
Oh, no.
No!
Throw him in jail!
Jack Smith has argued Trump scrolled his phone and watched the attack on TV that day without immediately calling off the rioters.
Trump tried to delay the release.
How was he supposed to do that, by the way?
How was he supposed to call off the rioters?
Did they all have the earpieces?
How was that supposed to work?
The same way he killed the bill in Congress.
Just make some phone calls.
You know, that's what he does.
Calling off the rioters.
Trump tried to delay the release of these passages until after the election, but Nora, Judge Chutkin ruled holding back the information itself from the public would be election interference.
Now listen to this version.
Oh my God.
You know why he wanted to hold it back?
I can tell you.
Because he didn't want to promote Coca-Cola.
They've been woke.
And he doesn't need this promotion for Coca-Cola.
He's asked for a Diet Coke.
Hold on a second.
So listen to this.
This is a great version of the report.
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case unseals nearly 2,000 pages of documents.
The majority are heavily redacted, but they do provide a small glimpse into the evidence that prosecutors will present if the case goes to trial.
Most of the material has already been made public.
It includes a transcript of Trump's phone call pressuring Georgia election.
Now listen for the quote.
Listen for the quote.
This is what gets interesting.
It includes a transcript of Trump's phone call pressuring Georgia election officials to, quote, find enough votes to reverse his election loss in the state to Joe Biden.
That's not a quote.
He's making a whole run on scent.
What happened to end quote?
Come on.
Yeah, it was poor form.
Very poor form.
So, I guess the most entertaining thing was the Al Smith dinner?
Yes, I have a couple of clips.
I have a series of analysis of the dinner, but then I also have the top five jokes that I wanted to play a couple of the gags because Trump is funny.
Can I play a seven-second intro from ABC Good Morning America?
Yes, please.
The candidates appeared at a Catholic fundraiser last night, one in person, the other by video, but it didn't take long for things to take a darker turn.
A darker turn.
It took a very, very dark turn.
Give us the background of the Al Smith dinner.
By the way, love seeing the money honey there with her hair all in a bun and her long white gloves.
Maria Bartiromo is fun to watch.
She is fun to watch.
The L. Smith dinner is a traditional dinner.
I think it goes back 70 years.
And it refers to L. Smith, the first Catholic I ever ran for president against Franklin Roosevelt.
And so they had the Catholic Charities put this dinner on in his memory.
And it became a tradition, and I think it's in New York, and they get tens of millions of dollars to give away.
And the idea was, and we've seen Trump at this, I think, on the show.
We had some clips of it like four years ago when he did it.
Was that against Hillary?
No.
I think it was.
No, that was 2016.
That was 2016.
Okay, it was a while ago.
And it was funny because Hillary and him both went at each other.
And even though he made some disparaging remarks about his performance at that old one, thinking it was too dark then.
Of course, then he did gags again.
But the idea is you come up and you do disparaging jokes about everybody you can.
And it's almost like a roast...
But you're kind of given a free reign.
It's more like Don Rickles' insult comic hour.
You'd come up and you insult a bunch of people and it's all for good fun.
And then that's the end of it.
And so that's basically...
And it's a black tie affair and only the big wigs.
I'm sorry.
I think it's a white tie affair, honestly.
Everybody was wearing white ties.
I think Trump had a black tie.
I know.
He was breaking protocol.
It was a white tie event.
Well, the point is that these guys are all loaded, and they started off with...
They used to have a real comic come on, and in this case it was Jim Gaffigan, who was quite good.
I have a couple of clips from Gaffigan if you want to hear any later.
Yeah, you can play those because I don't have any Gaffigan clips.
But he was quite balanced, and it was annoying to Trump...
Yes.
He thought Gaffigan was funny, and I watched Gaffigan as Trump talked to see what Gaffigan laughed at, because Gaffigan's a professional, and he laughed at the better material.
But he was irked, Trump was irked, and I think he's kind of, I think it was kind of chicken shit that he did.
He does it in a good natured way, but he was irked that Gaffigan got to use teleprompters.
Yes.
And nobody else got to use the teleprompters.
And Gaffigan had to put this act together, I think, quickly, so he needed a teleprompter because he wasn't going to read from paper.
And Trump read from paper.
And when Trump did his material, he read the setup line and then looked up and gave the punchline.
And I thought it was extremely well done for somebody who didn't have a prompter in front of him or didn't have a rehearsed act because this was not rehearsed.
I wonder who wrote Trump's jokes.
There's a guy that could not get his name, but he's been writing for Trump for a while, apparently.
And he writes a lot of...
Gutfield kind of referred to him because they accused the Gutfield staff.
He's got about five writers that are all usually on the show a lot.
Gutfield said it wasn't any of his writers, but he knew the guy who was his main writer.
He's got one joke writer and probably a couple other guys contributing, but we don't know.
So anyway, Gaffigan, I thought was good.
It was really good.
I mean, you play your clips.
Play the Gaffigan clips because they came before Trump.
Well, I'm over-clipped on Gaffigan.
Play the funny ones.
Well, they're all fun.
They were all really funny.
And just so we started it off.
Your eminence, President Trump, First Lady, random millionaires who are not yet billionaires.
Welcome to the 79th annual Al Smith Memorial Dinner, as you can please give it up.
As you can see how we're dressed, the theme again is let them eat cake.
So then he goes after the DNC, kind of funny.
Of course, Joe Biden was our second Catholic president, right?
After JFK, President Biden couldn't be here tonight.
The DNC made sure of that.
It was good.
It was a good little ribbing.
Then he, of course, he's making jokes about the Democrats that don't matter, such as Mayor Adams.
$10 million is pretty impressive.
You know what I mean?
I mean, granted, it could get you a studio apartment in Manhattan, which seems, you know, expensive, especially considering you can get a mayor for two business class flights.
Oh, is...
Oh, did I break a...
I didn't think we had borders anymore.
Intelligent joke was funny enough.
And then this was really the crux of his whole thing there.
This is a very nimble thing that I'm trying to do, right?
Because if I am too critical...
Of Vice President Harris, I will, you know, I will lose friendships and, you know, and mess up my career.
And if I am too critical of President Trump, I will lose friendships and improve my career.
That was good laughs, good laughs.
That was a good line.
Here was another one that I thought was a good line.
The media has begun discussing the phenomena of secret Trump voters.
I don't know if you've heard about this.
People who publicly say they would never vote for Trump, but then when they go in the voting booth, they do.
It's a small group.
They're called the Biden family.
And then final one here.
President Trump, before I invite you up here to the podium, I want you to know if you are re-elected, I always liked you.
And I'm not saying that because I don't want to be sent to a labor camp.
Yeah, it was a good bit.
He had some good stuff.
A couple of them fell flat.
Before I play the Trump jokes, I want to play the rundown, which was done on NPR. And most of the liberal media hated the Trump routine.
He had some funny bits in there.
They called it dark and not funny.
Yeah, yeah.
Although Stelter said it was funny.
Really?
He broke ranks.
Well, he's not really working for them anymore.
He has to be edgy.
So, yeah, that's spot edgy, yeah.
So Al Smith, this is Al Smith on NPR. Former President Trump spoke at the Al Smith dinner in New York City Thursday night, a dinner to raise money for Catholic charities, and often a regular stop every election cycle for political candidates.
Tradition holds that I'm supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes this evening.
So here it goes.
Nope.
I've got nothing.
I've got nothing.
Well, they did have one line about how happy he was to appear in New York without a subpoena.
And PR Senior Editor Correspondent Ron Elpin joins us now.
Ron, thanks for being with us.
Good to be with you, Scott.
Maybe not many self-deprecating jokes, but Donald Trump made several personal and in a couple of instances salacious japes, not sure they can be called jokes, in front of the Cardinal and aimed at his political opponents.
Did his speech go, I have to say, beyond the bounds of decency?
And what does that say about political discourse these days?
It says we're still very much in the age of Trump.
He's setting the tone once again, just as he's been doing for nearly a decade.
Here's one of his lines from this week's Al Smith.
Right now we have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have mental...
Faculty of a child, as said, is a person that has nothing going, no intelligence whatsoever, but enough about Kamala Harris.
So that was one of the lines that people can judge for the...
John, so that was one of the lines when we really, you know, if we laughed at anything, you know, we wouldn't get the limo.
We'd get, you know, a regular old town car.
So, yeah, if people find that funny...
That got a good laugh.
It was a classic comedic...
It sounds like you're talking about one person and you do the switcheroo at the end.
Very classic, yeah.
And I thought it was well executed since you had to read it.
And everything's, oh no, it's so...
I didn't want to have any clips from The View, but The View was unbelievably hateful.
And there's supposed to be some comics on there.
Yeah.
They found nothing funny about it.
It was beyond the pale.
It was insulting.
He's terrible, terrible, terrible.
Let's go to clip two from the NPR report.
...skipped the event.
She sent a video instead, and she used that to take a couple of jabs at Trump, saying that his lies about the election violated the bearing false witness clause of the Ten Commandments.
Trump said that was disrespectful, but her campaign may have decided overall there was little upside in seeing her there.
Also this week, Donald Trump danced for half an hour during a town hall.
He refused to answer some questions at an appearance at the Chicago Economic Club, backed out of a CNBC interview.
Is this causing any concerns among his supporters about his fitness for high office?
It's probably more disturbing to Harris voters than Trump voters, who are more or less accustomed to taking these things in stride.
And lately, it extends to these last-minute cancellations.
You mentioned CNBC. He also stiffed CBS's 60 Minutes.
One of his campaign staffers has been quoted saying that he's cutting back on his schedule because he's exhausted.
And at times, at least, he has seemed so.
NBC posted a video last night that appears to show Trump Nodding off, eyes closed, head bobbing at one of his own campaign events.
On the other hand, you have the more aggressive media strategy, as we saw this week at the end of a 20-minute segment on Fox& Friends, the morning show.
He announced he was going that day to meet with Rupert.
Meaning Rupert Murdoch, the man behind all things Fox.
We already knew that Trump has been upset with the number of Harris surrogates and ads that have appeared on Fox.
And Trump said he was going to ask Rupert, as he called him, to cut these off and cut off negative ads for the rest of the campaign.
Adding, then I think we'll have the victory.
Oh my God.
What, they have a microphone in the meeting?
Who are they kidding with this report?
I don't know, but it's so serious.
No wonder nobody wants to listen to this nonsense, because it's just putting me, this is putting me to sleep.
Part three, and we're going to go to Trump.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris was on Fox News, probably not what most pollsters would call her demographic.
What did you see in her appearance?
Here again, it depends on which camp you ask.
Trump folks tended to say she had been exposed and evasive.
Harris folks were proud of how she faced the slings and arrows and interruptions and held her ground on Fox.
They were also pleased just with the contrast.
Harris going on Fox while Trump was cancelling interviews and complaining about fact-checkers and tough questions.
And Piers Ryan Elvin, thanks so much for being with us.
Well, that's what Kamlo does.
She's not campaigning, she's campaigning.
That's sort of a new thing.
Here, that's a good one.
Thank you.
Just before I get to Trump, you might as well listen to the summary.
I got a summary of Harris' talk.
One of the best ones from Brett Baer.
This is the Harris Says Trump clip.
It was just over two weeks to go to the election.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Wrong one.
This is the compilation of Harris' comments on the Bret Baier.
this is great reporting yeah yeah i saw that one Even I didn't want to clip that one, but okay.
Yeah, I couldn't.
I just had to have to clip it.
You couldn't resist.
I know.
So I got the Trump top five jokes from the Smith gags.
And since the NPR people and I guess MSNBC, they don't, nobody gets the jokes or they didn't think they were funny.
So I added, except for the last joke.
And the only reason I took this clip, by the way, because their top number one joke was the one I was going to run anyway, because I thought it was the funniest gag.
It's at the very end, it's the top one.
But since the other ones that people can't get, I added, I sweetened them with a rim shot so people would know that there was a punchline.
Went to laugh.
I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods.
But then I met Tim Waltz.
Well, I'd better wrap up because Mayor Adams told me earlier that I needed to make this one very quick, especially the city has reserved this room for a large group of illegal aliens coming in from Texas.
There's a group called White Dudes for Harris.
Have you seen this?
White Dudes for Harris.
Anybody know?
Are some of you here?
White Dudes for Harris doesn't sound like it.
But I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives' lovers are all voting for me.
A major issue of this race is childcare and Kamala has put forward a concept of a plan.
A lot of people don't like it.
The only piece of advice I would have for her in the event that she wins would be not to let her husband Doug Anywhere near the nannies.
Just keep them away.
Whoa.
That did not work over well.
That's a nasty one.
Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum.
He looks glum.
But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.
That was, without a doubt, the best one.
It was pretty funny.
You know, the reason why I think everyone's so down about it is because Harris wasn't there.
You know, she...
Now, I don't think she is capable of doing this type of shtick.
It would have been...
You know, I would have even accepted if...
Who's the SNL lady?
If she had showed up, that would have been at least funny.
What's her name who plays Kamala?
Yeah, I don't remember her name.
She's decent.
She's almost as good as the best.
Oh yeah, she's really good.
And instead, the Vice President does a video with Mary Kate, which is...
Insulting to the Catholics!
Well, on that note...
Hold on a second.
Here we go.
Pennsylvania is very Catholic.
Tons of Catholics in Pennsylvania, and it is the largest swing state.
I'm not negating that, Ron.
No, I know.
If I'm advising the vice president, I wouldn't be in New York.
By the way, this is CNN. This wasn't a big thing, but this was shared all over social media for Catholics.
Gretchen Whitmer giving a Dorito as a Eucharist.
I'm telling you what Catholics were sharing on social media.
You could sit there and say it wasn't intended.
That's what people took it as.
I agree with you.
So then for that, from a few weeks ago to all of a sudden skipping the big Catholic event for politics, the biggest one, and a long history of Democrats continuing to slip at the Catholic vote.
It is an incredibly important vote.
But I don't think that's her strategy.
I think it was smart for Trump to be there.
I absolutely agree.
I think it was smart for her to be somewhere else just looking at the numbers.
I wonder, I mean, the gettable Catholics for Kamala Harris.
The gettable Catholics?
Do they really, are they really looking at the Al Smith dinner and saying, oh my God, she's not there.
They're thinking, does she like people like me?
That's a big question for Kamala.
Does she actually like people like me?
Considering, like, take a Pennsylvania voter who heard Obama say they cling to their guns and their Bibles, who had Hillary Clinton feel like they were very far away.
Joe Biden was counting in Pennsylvania.
What is the pivot issue for those Catholics?
No, it's not.
Then what is it?
It's the Catholic schools.
It is being good on your economy.
It is understanding family economics, stuff like that, and also being relatable to working class issues and not putting them down.
So it's basically the same issues that everybody...
Yes, but there is a cultural part of it that is specifically Catholic.
I thought that the insulting part was Mary Kate.
I mean, Darren O'Neill said it best.
I heard him earlier during the Rock and Roll pre-show.
He said, they brought out some comedian who was on Saturday Night Live when I was three.
Yeah.
And I was like, yeah.
And it all fell flat.
I mean, I wanted it to be funny, but it wasn't.
I mean, no, it wasn't.
It just wasn't funny.
It was not a lot of humor in it.
Well, Kamala has no sense of humor.
We talked about it on the last show, that people who incessantly laugh for no reason are always fearful that there's something funny going on and they don't want to be left out.
And you see this with all kinds of people that just laugh inappropriately.
Yeah.
And...
And Kamala, with that ridiculous giggle that she throws in at the end of everything, thinking maybe she said something funny she doesn't know.
She's got no sense of humor.
Most of the people that thought Trump's bit was not funny at all, it was dark.
It wasn't dark.
It wasn't even close to being dark.
No.
So, what are you going to do?
You've got a humorless group of people that are just going to, you know, they don't get anything.
They're just, I don't know, subhuman in that regard.
Wow.
No, I'm sorry I said that.
Okay, Adolf.
Okay.
Wow.
I don't mean, I mean, they lack human compassion because if you don't see humor, you have some problems.
John C. Dvorak on the eights, everybody.
Meanwhile, if Trump does not win, I will miss him for doing stuff like this on Fox and Friends.
We've got a six-year-old from Massachusetts, and he wants to know about your favorite animal.
Let's watch.
President, my name is Breyer.
I'm six years old.
I live on a farm in Massachusetts.
What's your favorite farm animal?
Favorite farm animal.
What's the animal?
I'll tell you what I love.
I love cows.
But if we go with Kamala, you won't have any cows anymore.
I don't want to ruin this kid's day.
I love cows.
I think they're so cute and so beautiful.
And tasty.
But according to Kamala, who's a radical left lunatic, you will not have any cows anymore, so we have to vote her.
I love cows.
It's just great.
There's dimensionality to that comment, too.
Although, you know, the Hindus do like cows, but they won't eat them.
No, they won't eat them.
Oh, I see the dimensionality you're aiming at.
Interesting.
The Indian vibe.
And then, this was, I think this was at his town hall.
They had a bunch of pre-selected people.
And this was a former Green Beret who stood up.
Good evening, Mr.
President.
I'm John Frankman.
I was a Special Forces Green Beret who was forced out of the military because of the COVID-19 vaccine.
That's good stuff, right?
That's good stuff, right?
That's good stuff.
That's good stuff.
The Biden-Harris DOD COVID-19 vaccine mandate was very damaging to the military.
It forced thousands of service members out, and thousands do not want to join now.
The Biden-Harris DOD has the lowest recruiting in modern history, and now they're pushing more woke training.
So how do you plan to repair the military from the damage that was done and hold military leaders accountable?
So I want to have them come back into the military with pay.
And, you know, they've been talking about that, but it never happened.
They never did what they said they were going to do.
There should have never been a mandate.
That should have never happened.
You should have been given choices, we say.
We want choice in education, and we want a choice there, too.
And that should have never happened.
And, you know, we've lost some of our best people in the military, too.
Did you leave?
Did you leave?
Did you ever take the vaccine or anything?
I never did, sir.
So you want a choice, yeah.
Would you go back in if they were able to?
As long as there's accountability, potentially.
Yeah, no, there would be accountability is right.
We'll fire their asses.
We don't want to lose this guy.
So he's definitely moving towards, hey, hey, hey, I just did the vaccine.
I didn't mandate it.
I didn't say it was mandated.
That's going to be his line.
Yeah, that's the best he's going to be able to do.
I mean, he's got Kennedy hounding him.
Yeah.
Well, he's doing a lot of like, oh, what is this like enough vaccine for a horse?
They're giving it to a baby.
So he's out there talking about it.
Um...
We had the big Fredericksburg meet-up here in town on Friday.
It's at Bar 1776.
That's Jenny's Bar.
There's a bar called 1776?
Oh, yeah.
Well, she's a J-6-er, too.
There were actually a number of J-6 women there, and also December 16th women.
Did they ever get called by the FBI? I'm sure there must have been a spook somewhere.
It was probably about 45 people, I'd say.
It was really nice.
People came from all over Texas.
Some people drove from Arizona.
A lot of our favorites were there from Texas.
Of course, Baron Scott, Dirty Jersey Whore, Rob the Constitutional Lawyer.
Tina was there.
We had a very good time.
What was interesting is, because I hadn't done a meetup in a couple of months, I guess.
To hear the horror stories about vaccines in the workplace.
One of our producers is a compounding pharmacist in a hospital system, and he does a lot of the chemo compounding stuff.
Yeah, that has to be customized.
Yeah.
He falsified his own vaccine record.
Nah!
Well, if you're a pharmacist, you can.
Yeah.
Just peel it out of form.
Stamp it.
In his department, which is relatively small, three people now have cancer.
And he says, if I bring it up, you know, they just get mad and it's like, no, and correlation is not causation.
And it's unbelievable how these professionals can't even see through it.
Also, we had two air traffic controllers.
One who got an exemption.
The other one, he says, I'm so mad, but yeah, I got the vax.
And so, you know, me with the Flyboys, you know, we're talking about what's going on.
And I said, so, because they actually have to move around.
They're going to, they've gone from where they are currently.
They've been placed in Atlanta because Atlanta doesn't have enough air traffic controllers.
I think they're doing the tower.
And I say, well, this is DEI. They say, well, we don't care about DEI, but these people don't qualify.
They can't pass the test.
So they brought all these people into the program to become an air traffic controller, and they're just not good enough.
They're dumb.
And then this happened in Austin.
Tonight, the FAA investigating how a packed 737 and a Cessna nearly collided head-on in mid-air this week over Texas.
If you want to declare near miss, let us know.
American Airlines Flight 2587 was making its final approach to Austin Bergstrom International Airport around 1045 a.m. Wednesday in foggy conditions when, according to the FAA, a single-engine Cessna R-182 unexpectedly entered the flight path.
This animation showing the Cessna, which at the time was not in communication with air traffic controllers, flying underneath the American plane, coming within 400 feet of it.
The American crew alerted by the plane's Traffic Collision Avoidance System, or TCAS, the system warning the pilots to change course immediately to avoid a mid-air collision.
Did you ever see him the second time around?
We saw what he flashed up and flew right into us.
There were a series of things that led up to this near mid-air collision, but the American jet had a capability on board that warned it and told it to turn away from this small light civil aircraft.
So at the end of the day, it was the technology on board the American aircraft that saved this from becoming a disaster.
And David, just days ago, the FAA began auditing 45 of the nation's busiest airports to really understand why we're seeing so many of these close calls.
What could it be?
We have no idea.
But we need to do an investigation.
I don't understand it at all.
And this report is very misleading.
Okay, TCAS. Oh, big deal.
I mean, every airplane I fly in has TCAS. How does a 182 get into your airspace without you knowing about it?
I mean, that is what makes no sense.
Everybody has a squawk.
Everybody has a transponder.
You're telling me there was an aircraft that didn't have their transponder on, and so you're not talking to them, and you're tracking them?
No, this is bad air traffic control.
That's what that is.
There may be some pilots with some issues.
United, maybe.
I don't know.
Air American is American.
Anyway.
So, on that happy note...
I'd like to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C, or is it a K, in campaigning, say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Mr.
John C. DeMora!
Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr.
Van Curry, in the morning, ship, sea boots on the ground, feet in the air.
Left in the water, and all the games and nights out there.
And hello to our trolls in the county.
33, 34, 21, 35.
Go ahead.
Low.
Go ahead and say it.
Low.
We're a couple hundred lows.
Low.
Slow.
But they're not slow.
200, 300 low.
They're low but not slow.
They are the trolls.
They are in the troll room at trollroom.io.
That's how you can join the live stream, noagenda.stream.
It's 24-7.
There's always something going on.
It's a great community.
A lot of trolls who came to the meetup as well.
And I will be thanking some of the people who gave on-the-spot donations in our donation segment.
It was quite...
And again, thank you very much, Jenny, for Bar 1776.
And be full moon, bed and breakfast.
There were a bunch of classic cars out front.
Turns out this is basically right near Luchenbach.
And this, I think today, or yesterday and today, is a classic car show in Luchenbach.
And so there were a couple of people there.
And this one Hispanic dude comes up to me.
He's like, hey, man!
Like, hey, in the morning, he says, what?!
In the morning?
I don't know what you said, man, but I remember you from Headbangers Ball.
And he had a couple of Mustangs there, and it was good.
Everyone integrated very well, very nicely.
You can also listen to our live stream and be alerted when this takes place by using one of the modern podcast apps, which you can find at podcastapps.com.
I would recommend for live listening and the live alerts, they have a new version out, 1.15 Fountain, fountain.fm, or in your app store for Android and iOS.
Really good app, and they have music on there as well now, Value for Value Music, so you can check that out.
We are, of course, a Value for Value program, which we pioneered.
It's almost 17 years ago, John, on the 26th.
Are we celebrating our anniversary right before or right after?
Because the 26th is, I think, a Saturday?
Is it 26th Saturday?
The Sunday show would be the 26th anniversary show.
Okay, so that'll be the anniversary show.
Okay.
Yeah.
Can you believe it, man?
17 years?
Yeah!
What?
And we never had a fight!
Speak up!
17 years, our fifth presidential cycle, and we still enjoy serving you to try and help you make sense out of your world by deconstructing all the nonsense in it.
As part of our value for value, which means we give you everything for free, I think?
Whatever the show is valued to you.
And we love Boots on the Ground.
We love the clip help we get.
We also love the treasure.
And, of course, we love our artists who bring us great value every single show so we can have fresh new art to show and display and promote the show.
And we feel it does work.
We want to thank our artists for episode 1704.
We titled that one, Hello!
Which I haven't said yet.
So far this show I'm doing really well.
Yeah, you did earlier.
No, I didn't.
No, I said that didn't count.
No, I did not.
No, I didn't say it counted.
I said you said it.
Oh, okay.
Well, I just said it now, too, but it wasn't in the context.
Parker Pauly, our Black Knight, brought us the artwork for 1704.
We were looking at a number of different pieces, and we hadn't even discussed the topic.
But then looking at it, and he originally made this as a bat signal art because it had the show number on it, 1704.
A microphone in a mic stand, but landing like Elon's...
Incredibly impressive rocket being grabbed by the booster being grabbed by Grabzilla.
Hey, you want to impress me?
Land on the moon!
Please.
Boy, the nerd...
That's the only...
I will say this.
This piece was controversial in his pick because, as you said...
We never even talked about that.
No, we didn't.
And I said, well, and he says, you know, if they can do that, why can't you land on the moon?
They landed on the moon in 1969.
What was the big deal then?
The lunar module floated down, landed perfectly, blasted off again, completely reusable.
Yeah.
Yeah, but for some reason, this is amazing.
For some reason, now it's a big deal.
It's amazing.
Oh, it's amazing.
Well, it's because it's so big.
That's the reason.
It's a big clunker as opposed to the cute little module.
I mean, if you go back to one of our previous episodes, and gosh, I want to say that was in the 1200s, and Elon was doing these landings on the pad.
At the time, I said, you know, this is because they gave him the anti-gravity technology, and you have to be careful because it always spins up hurricanes.
So the coincidence is not lost on me.
When did that come to your mind?
That was episode 1200?
No, no, I'm saying when did that most recent iteration of the same thought appear in your brain?
When someone emailed me the clip.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're trying to tell me my memory is not good?
It's failing.
Okay.
What?
Speak up!
That's my new one.
Okay!
Yeah, well, it takes over from hello.
Yes, it was our duke of the Arabian Peninsula.
He said, you know, I have experience with this, and the best way for you to get rid of it is just to say it incessantly.
So the idea is I want to hurt everybody on the show by saying this over and over again until I stop?
No, I can stop this.
I have this willpower, and I have.
I have this willpower.
So, thank you, Parker Pauly.
Let's take a look.
We did have some discussion over the copy machine in the cornfield.
Yeah, it was a pretty piece, but it was kind of, I don't know, it just didn't quite hit the mark.
I mean, this microphone landing on the mic stand is a...
And it's not AI. It doesn't look like AI to me, at least.
It looks like that was created.
No, I don't think so.
I think it was one of the hybrids.
I think the best art is hybrid, where you do the AI to do the basic.
I have a bonus, a little bonus clip to play.
Oh.
Because I came up with some ideas.
Our official No Agenda joke writer, Marty Hagen, sent me this, and he's been following AI music creation.
Oh, God.
And I have this...
You don't have to play this whole song, obviously, but this is an AI song that was created based on some very interesting prompting.
And this is a complete AI song, which brought me to...
Some thinking about hybridization, but can you play this?
Down in the hills where the silver shines bright Nicholas Carr had a partner in sight A wily man with mischief on his mind Shot his mate in justice with blind The evidence was clear but the jury was swayed Nicholas stood there feeling dismay Not guilty they said with a nod and a cheer But Nicholas knew he
ought to live in fear A man can hide What is this song about?
I don't know what this topic is.
It's about some guy who shot his partner in a gold mine or something.
It's a very complicated...
I mean, it was based on some true story.
But this song...
Marty sent this in saying he was really impressed with the fact that it was hard to tell it was an AI song.
Oh, please.
But I was thinking, going back to the idea of hybridization...
I came up with the idea, you have the AI create these songs, you do the cover, take credit for the writing, and do them live and put them on an album, I think you can get away with it.
Oh, no.
As demos, I think it's very valid because they do come...
Although...
I mean, so when I listen to these AI songs, in general, they just sound soulless to me.
And people...
If I may, just as a little aside, you don't need to send me any funny Notebook LM podcasts.
They're all eight minutes.
I don't even listen to them anymore.
They're too long.
They're too long.
And people keep saying, I got some end of show songs!
In the morning sun, let's all begin.
Adam and John with a cheeky grin.
Yeah, now that's AI. Yeah, of course.
And the reason you can tell they're AI is because unlike the guys who create all this stuff for us, the guy's actually in tune.
So there is that element immediately at giveaway.
He's not singing off-key.
No, no, that's no good.
I appreciate you did it, but I'm not going to play this.
It's not good.
It's just not good.
Well, I didn't want you to play the whole thing.
I thought it was good, and I thought the use of the banjo was good.
I thought it was a very...
I think you could fool somebody with this song.
But my thinking is more of the hybridization idea where you have the AI do it, you cover it, you take credit for the writing, it's all done on the side, you would never know, next thing you know.
And I think that's what we're getting with the best art to bring it back around in a Trumpian way.
The weave!
You're doing the weave!
I'm doing the weave, and so you bring it back to the art.
So the best art has been hybridized by the artist who takes the AI piece, and I think that that microphone was one of them.
So a couple things.
One, when you create it with Sumo, it even says you now have the rights to this song, and you can publish it.
Two, the little tricky bit of what you said is cover it.
You know, that's where it gets a little more difficult.
Cover it!
Not everybody can play and sing.
You know, it's just...
Well, that's...
I mean, I can't do it.
Cover it!
Okay.
But I'm thinking of somebody who can...
I mean, there are bands out there that are specialized in doing cover songs because they can do it.
There are people with perfect pitch.
There are people that can play anything.
You just play it once and then they can play it.
I know these guys.
I know...
A number of them, personally.
They can listen and repeat.
And those are the guys who can take advantage of the situation.
Yeah, great.
If they wanted to.
And like everybody else except Taylor Swift, they too can make no money on Spotify.
You know, we can maybe assume that some of Taylor Swift's material is created like this.
Yeah, maybe.
Although I think it would be better if it was, so maybe I'm wrong.
But again, there's no money in music.
No one is making money in music.
Except Taylor and a few.
And Spotify.
Spotify's making money.
No, Spotify's barely making money.
It's the publishing companies.
And what the publishing companies do is they go to archive.org and sue them for $600 million because some songs got scooped up in the archive.
That's how money's made today in the music business.
And the blanket licenses to the social media companies.
That's where the money is.
Nowhere else.
Well, dadgummit.
There goes your great idea.
Go ahead, everybody.
Put all the effort into it.
But I'm just saying that's the only thing you can do.
Yeah.
Well, it all sucks.
And that song sucked.
If you think that just because it's a banjo, it's a good country song, no.
No, I don't think it was any good.
That's just my...
I mean, what do I know about the music business?
Well, at this point in your age?
Oh, don't start.
Don't start, because I know a lot.
And I can smell a hit from a mile away.
That was not one.
Even for the country boys.
The troll room is going nuts.
Okay.
Hey, let's thank some people who sent us some treasure for the value for value, which we appreciate.
Long notes today, but as...
The notes were too long.
Notes were rather long.
We will read them, of course, as we do with our executive and associate executive producers.
But they're too long.
Yeah, they're too long.
Yeah, but people have a lot to say as we get closer to our 17th anniversary, and the notes are nice.
They are complimentary, so I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
You can keep them a little shorter, but we appreciate it.
And today we have a very rare show number donation, which we start off with from Daniel Eckert in Bernie, Texas.
Go, Texas!
1705.
Very nice.
You have to admit...
Very nice.
Say it.
Are you going to the bathroom already?
Just because you know it's a long note.
I'm going to get the note that's coming up.
It's on the other desk, if you don't mind.
ITM gentlemen, please accept the attached donation of $1,705.
Please, I need a deduce.
You've been deduced.
I haven't donated since being granted Associate Executive Producer for show 163.
So, this is a make-up for sure.
As a one-time donor and a long-time boner, I'm also asking for a second dedouching as 1,542 shows since my last donation requires that I double down on some karma as my douchebaggery has approached governmental proportions.
You've been de-douched.
I also want to call out those freeloading bastards who are listening.
Open up your wallets, purses, encrypted keys, or coupon books and share some love for no agenda.
Thank you, John and Adam, for restoring my faith in something.
I cannot state enough how awesome it feels to know that I'm not just a tampon string that the media tugs on as they dump their bullcrap on my head.
That's a very interesting visual I got there.
I didn't like it.
And we do, maybe I could put it in the end of show mix for you.
That would actually work out okay.
He would also like, just send your cash.
And he would like two taps to the head.
To the head, yes, we got that.
For the boners out there that hit people in the mouth but don't have the means to make a donation.
Daniel Eckert from South Texas.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Now before we go to the next one, John, I have $1,000 which came in cash at the meetup in crisp $100 bills from Anonymous.
ITM, in the interest of brevity, my only requests are to be dedouched.
You've been de-douched.
And to receive a generous helping of yak karma, may I please assume the title of Dame Cabernet of Horseshoe Bay.
Thank you for keeping us sane while wildly entertained.
And that's it from our anonymous soon-to-be dame.
Thank you so much.
You've got karma.
I see what you're doing.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
Sir Charles in Thornton, Colorado.
$500.33.
Adam and John, congrats on 17 years, gentlemen.
It recently occurred to me that I have been listening for around half of the shows.
I'm sorry, John.
John, you missed Buell.
John Buell.
Vista.
Oh.
Yeah, you skipped over one.
Ah!
There you go.
Forget what I said.
John Buell's up.
He's in Vista, California, and he came up with 60106, which is even more.
This is the unofficial, official with your blessing, no agenda, couples donation.
60106 is a couples, it's something I think that...
I don't know, you know, I can make some lewd comment about this donation.
Yeah, I'm so good at it, but let's not.
Oh, I see what it looks like.
Okay, I got it.
Never mind.
It comes in two varieties, small boobs and big boobs, okay?
Sorry, fellas.
People can write 60106 and figure out our gag.
Sorry, fellas, we got only one designation.
I would like to transfer $60.94 of this donation to my smoking hot wife, Dame Liberty Mom of Homestead Studies in Comifornia.
She is a sustaining donor sharing her small boobs once a month for the past 33 months.
Okay, I'm sure she appreciates that comment.
For the past 33 months, so it only seems appropriate to help get her to exactly $3,000, bringing her to Baroness status.
Wow, nice.
I think she's on the upgrade list.
She is, she is.
I need to step up my game and I will reserve the balance of my donation to myself, which makes me a Commodore as well as making me eligible for a seat at the round table.
So he's a double duty here.
Please knight me, sir.
A-F-A-N Beck.
Of the Schiff Wood Forest.
I don't know if he's in the area of Adam Schiff, where he is.
In Vista.
Maybe.
This is a tribute to some of the greats who ultimately led me to this show.
Hint, this is a Tom Woods donation.
There's already plenty at the round table, so he doesn't want any food.
No jingles, no karma.
Okay.
Tom Woods donation.
Then we go to Sir Charles.
Where'd that come from?
I don't know.
It showed up.
Sir Charles from Thornton, Colorado.
$500.33.
Adam and John.
Congrats on 17 years, gentlemen.
It recently occurred to me that I've been listening for around half of the show's existence, yet I still feel like I missed out a great deal on the first eight and a half years.
Hey, you can find it at noagendashow.net.
You can listen to the archive.
Yeah, don't bother.
Yeah.
Please accept this 533 donation for a Commodore title if it pleases the peerage committee.
I would like to change my title from Sir Charles of the Coin-Operated Laundromat to a shorter version with a new title, Sir Charles Commodore of the Coin.
It will be so.
Also, please grant my wife Dame Courtney and me house-buying and selling karma...
As well as baby-growing karma for Dame Courtney, who is very pregnant with our third human resource.
Within the next 10 days, we will, one, close on our new house, two, move, three, witness the birth of our child, and four, put our house on the market.
Oh, what a sequence.
Finally, please add our first human resource, Moira, to the birthday list.
She's turning four November 3rd.
Thank you for your courage.
Sir Charles Commodore of the Coin, FKA Sir Charles of the Coin-Operated Laundromats.
You've got...
Karma.
And that will cover your house buying and selling karma as well.
Now we have the best note of this group, Sir Matt.
He's in Melbourne, Australia, 500, Viscount of Victoria, soon to be Commodore.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you for your courage.
Excellent.
Becky Steele.
No, Becky Skeel.
Becky Steele is a DJ name.
Becky Skeel, everybody!
Saipan.
Where's Saipan?
It's an island.
Saipan.
It's just the island of Saipan?
I don't know the details, but I do know that the guy who ran Computerland wanted to set up shop there for some reason, and there's some scandalous situation, I think.
Well, Saipan, isn't that where Bruce Springsteen wound up, born in the USA? I think it's where he's going to go if Trump gets elected.
Hi, John and Adam.
I had plans to make an executive produced donation in honor of my smoking hot husband's birthday in November, but given his affinity for all things wind and waves, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make him a Commodore as well.
Please grant him the title of Commodore Big Boss Rob Jordan in honor of his 44th birthday with love from his wife and three, soon to be four, human resources.
I hope he knows it.
He would like to call out any CIHs or CSPs in No Agenda Nation who haven't donated as douchebags.
What's a CIH or CSP? C-I-H or C-S-P? I wonder what that is.
I have no idea.
And as a shameless plug, because our company paid for this donation, for all your environmental health and safety consulting needs in the Western Pacific, please check out coahs.com.
That's K-O-A-E-H-S dot com.
And thank you for continuing to keep us sane in this insane world.
Cheers to 1700 episodes, 17 years, and to never finding an exit strategy.
73's, y'all.
It's Becky Skeel on the mic.
Thank you, Becky.
Kevin in Virginia, talking about Virginia.
In Manassas, actually.
$500.
Good afternoon, John and Adam.
I've been listening to your show for a long time and have made a small donation in the past, but never enough to have a message read.
I will be celebrating my 33rd trip around the Sun, code word, on Saturday the 19th, and I thought it would be the perfect time to make a donation like this During this promotion.
I would like to be known as Commodore Kevin, and we want to remind people that you go to NoAgendaRings.com and put the information in there with a mailing address so you can get your certificate with alacrity.
I wanted to mention, as a short intermezzo here, based on the No Agenda show, Dreb Scott, we know Dreb Scott, he does all the chapter art for the modern podcast apps.
His seven-year-old daughter, Lucy...
Just passed her technician exam.
Now that tells you something.
She is now officially a ham?
Is that cool or what?
A seven-year-old ham and other people can't do it.
And I have the honor of sending her her first rig.
I'm very excited to hear her on the air.
We continue with...
Congratulations, Lucy.
Great job.
John B. is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
$500 in the morning.
Listener for one year.
First-time donor.
I couldn't miss the Commodore promotion.
Can I be known as Commodore Sloop John B.? Well, of course.
Can I have a de-douching and a trump?
They're eating the dogs?
Love you guys.
Four more years.
You've been de-douched.
They're eating the dogs.
Gene Harris in Winter Park, Florida, 500.
ITM fellas, Commodore donation.
I wanted to make sure I was recently in Tromso, Norway, and stopped by the Troll Museum in downtown Tromso.
Troll Museum?
Cool.
I was disappointed they did not have a section for the no agenda trolls.
Right?
You may want to contact them and see what can be added.
Thanks so much for providing some context to this crazy year we're going through.
No jingles, no karma.
Milan Janowicz in Belgrade.
That's in Serbia.
Yes.
In Serbia.
Oh, man.
We are bad.
We are worldwide.
In the morning, dear John and Adam, I've been following the best podcast in the universe for a long time, since around episode number 50.
And my amygdala has remained nice and shrunken for many happy years.
I've managed to contribute to the show with only few anonymous donations so far, but now I am finally in the position to change that with becoming executive producer and commodore.
Therefore, I request a dedouching...
For me and for my beautiful and supportive wife, Vanessa, I can give advice to all fellow producers who still have not onboarded their significant others that couples that listen to No Agenda together have stronger connection and a more fulfilling relationship.
I hear the sex is better, too.
Please play the clips.
There's no winning North Korean newslady announcer.
And don't laugh.
No karma, but I would appreciate if you mention us and our kids, Mihailo and Gavrilo, in your prayers.
Consider it done.
I hope that all your exit strategies fail and you two go on with the show for many more years from Milan Jovanovic in Belgrade, Serbia.
Don't laugh.
Why are you laughing?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Oh, there's no winning.
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
Now everyone hug and share a secret.
Hey, the Korean lady failed.
What happened to the Korean lady?
Yeah, where's the Korean lady?
No, no, the Korean lady is this, but she failed.
That's the Korean lady.
There she is.
Yeah, the next donation blows out my spreadsheet.
You have to read the note.
Yeah, this is from Sir R. Daniels, Colts Neck, New Jersey.
ITM gentlemen, I use that term loosely.
Oh, really?
It's been a while.
I've attended a meetup.
Well, this meetup was somewhat smaller than normal.
A great time was had, and I look forward to the next one.
No agenda meetup site is a bit wonky, as we all know, so it's at Garden State Distillery in Toms River, New Jersey, on November 2nd, starting at 2 p.m.
Also, here's my Commodore donation.
No jingles, he says.
Karma for all.
And he did add a nice little update.
As you know, he was the...
I think he was the...
Chief Operations Officer for a bit during the Project Veritas fracas and the upset.
Yes, he was an executive there.
Yes, and he resigned.
He says, I'm not involved in the organization.
But James is looking to get me and my other officers or board members on camera in depositions.
I will report back after my deposition on November 18th.
And he says that he and a lot of his other ex-Project Veritas colleagues are still out there fighting the good fight.
We appreciate that.
We appreciate that you're doing that.
And he asked for some jobs karma for all who need it, so let's hand it over.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
He's one of the many insiders that we have here on the No Agenda podcast.
Oh, who's on the ground?
We're outrageous, baby.
Tracy Smith is up.
She's from Prescott, Arizona.
She came in with $500 and wants the title Commodore of the Port of Arizona.
Nice.
And then play the jingle Due to Climate Change.
Due to Climate Change.
You got it.
Sir Stephen is in Meridian, Idaho, $500.
Me and Lionel Richie, Sir Stephen, protector of the Bighorn Basin.
I have no idea what that means, but we got you.
Now we have Nora Neva from Livonia, Michigan, who came in with a check for $500, made herself a Commodore, and she sent a note.
Very harsh paper.
She has very nice printing, and she has an...
I want to send you a copy of this eventually, so we can discuss this anomaly that you run into with...
She is a Gen Z. The V and the R is the exact same.
Except it drifts off a little bit.
I talked to Jay about this.
It's very interesting.
And she writes in, Hello, Zionist shills!
Hello!
Doesn't count.
Gen Z listener here.
Everything you boys say about our generation is true.
Besides the few of us that are sharp, thanks to the best podcast in the universe, shout out to my dad, Scott Neva, and his douchebag friend, Dave Tarian.
Douchebag.
For hitting me in the mouth.
Thanks for keeping me sane in these insane times.
My amygdala is screwed if I only get four more years of premium content.
P.S. John, I have a Blue Heeler cattle dog that lunges and the bungee leash tip works wonders.
It's the best.
Thanks for the constant laughs.
Can I get a They're Eating the Dogs from JCD? And...
Get this for an interesting random number thing.
Due to climate change jingle.
Wow, that's a coincidence.
Okay, hit it.
They're eating the dogs!
Due to climate change.
Nice combo.
Very nice combo.
Alright, we move to Mike Saliba.
Oh, Mike!
From Michigan, Clinton Township.
He is the wooden watch guy.
Dear John and Adam, I wanted to thank all my fellow producers for the amazing support they gave the Axehead watchmakers going out of business sale.
It's been very bittersweet.
It has certainly helped Dame Kelly and I out of a financial bind as well.
We sold about half the remaining stock, so we still have half left.
Promo code ITM is still cranked up.
Now from 20% to 33%.
My website, axeheadwatch.shop, expires on the 25th.
If I can keep it open until Christmas, I will, but the hosting company seems to want to make me renew for a full year, which doesn't make much sense.
So get your wooden watches now, folks.
P.S. I realize I shortchained you for a penny for my promotion to Barron, so I added two pennies to my 333.33 indeed.
He has 333.35.
One to cover the difference and one for interest on the loan.
Jobs and health karma, please.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
And I have another, uh...
Meetup donation.
Before you go to the other one, I want to mention that these watches are quite nice.
Adam and I both have one.
Oh yeah, no, they're great.
They're great.
It's a great conversation piece.
So Gordon, Gordon Gibson from Kerrville, he was the meetup.
Now this guy, he used to be an audio engineer.
And he started doing scratch tracks while he was setting up for voiceovers.
He has now been a guy doing voiceovers for 20 years.
Many national spots.
In fact, apparently, I just remembered he told me this, during COVID, everyone's like...
They're making all these really sappy ads for, oh, we're all at home and we can't go anywhere.
And I think it was for a pizza hut maybe or something.
We made fun of it and he was like, that was my spot.
This guy gets national spots.
Which is the way to go if you're in the voiceover business.
Oh yeah.
He says, ITM Adam and John, thanks for all you do.
It's going to suck when you guys eventually find your exit strategy.
Adam, I recently moved from Dallas to Kerrville, so howdy neighbor!
Any advice on how to get terrestrial antenna TV here in the hill country?
Well yeah, just get the over-the-air antenna, the OTA, the digital software.
That's all that there is.
I'm having no luck.
Get a fringe antenna.
Yes, from Amazon.
There's a lot of, yeah.
I'm having no luck with the big box store offerings.
Well, maybe I'm better off without it.
No, no.
According to John, there's lots of good stuff there.
Anyhow, I'm off to the meetup on Lukenbach with my lovely wife, Jaina.
If you're reading this after the fact, so I hope we all had a good time.
For a jingle, can I get the multilingual in the morning?
Yeah, we get a multilingual in the morning.
There you go.
Thank you very much, Gordon.
It was good meeting you, brother.
Let's see, that leaves...
I'm confused.
Dame Mama Susan.
Dame Mama Susan, yeah.
In Escondido, California.
33333.
I'd like to do a birthday switcheroo of 33333 to add my son as a switcheroo to add my son.
Brian Beals.
War chest toward his knighthood.
Birthday karma, please.
And a mariachi music.
Love Dame Mama Susan of the North County...
San Diego.
Okay, you know what?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You've got karma.
And David Snyder from Wade Hill, Ohio comes in with 333.33 and simply says, keep up the good work and we will do our best for you.
Great note.
Barron J.B. in Clarksville, Maryland, $300.33 to be a loss as executive producer.
Hello, John and Adam.

I want to shout out to the boys over at the Millennial Media Offensive, who I discovered thanks to the No Agenda stream.

And we thank Ono Priester from Soost in the Netherlands for his $200 donation.
And Michael Graham, $200 at the meetup.
And he sent a letter.
It's a moment to thank both of you for your courage and dedication to keeping us safe from the M5M.
I started listening to No Agenda after the crazy times post-COVID.
It's been refreshing to hear all the media deconstruction that you do.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the M5M was crazy.
This note is a donation given to Adam at the Fredericksburg No Agenda meetup, which was my second.
These meetups are fantastic, and it's always great to connect with other producers.
No Agenda truly has the best producers for the best podcasts in the universe.
Since I discovered the show, I've hit my wife and best friend in the mouth, as well as a few other friends.
Adam, I want to thank you for playing my In the Morning clip on episode 1551 back in 2023.
It was awesome to hear you play my In the Morning radio calls.
Oh!
I think this...
In the morning, radio calls to pilots as they were checking into my...
This is one of the...
Classics.
The ATCs.
The ATC guys.
And he wants...
You talk about your random number theory.
He wants they're eating the dogs and due to climate change.
Geez.
Isn't that interesting?
They're eating the dogs due to climate change.
And he has a birthday shout-out to himself.
He'll be turning 34 on October 26th.
Thank you, Michael.
Appreciate it.
So we haven't played Due to Climate Change forever.
And today we have three requests for it.
Out of the blue.
It's on their mind, man.
It's on their mind.
Well, what else is on their mind is Linda Lupatkin, our final associate executive producer.
She's in Lakewood, Colorado, and we know her.
she came up with 200 bucks and asked for jobs karma and says for a remarkable resume and faster job search and a faster job search visit imagemakersinc.com that's imagemakersinc with a k for all your executive resume and job search needs and must be working for somebody and work with linda lu duchess of jobs and writer of resumes jobs jobs jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs!
Oh, yeah.
No, I bump into people all the time who say, Linda Liu, man, help me out.
Help me out.
It's really executive job search and resumes.
So, congratulations when you are helped by Linda Liu.
And thank you to these executive and associate executive producers.
They donated the show by going to noagendadonations.com.
We will be thanking more people, $50 and above, in the second segment.
And we always want to thank our sustaining donors who just said it, lock it in, rip the knob off, and get One number and repeat it.
Whatever frequency you want, it's up to you.
Whatever the show is worth to you, we love it when you send us monetary value in return.
It's value for value right here on your No Agenda show.
You can go to noagendadonations.com.
Thanks again to the six and the associate executives.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Due to climate change.
Shut up.
I would like to play a couple of clips here regarding NATO, and I'm not sure if this is NATO getting everything ready for Trump to come in or what exactly is happening, but there's a lot of fear-mongering.
This is based upon President Zelensky's victory plan, which was basically, put me in NATO, man!
Zelensky has been in Belgium drumming up support among European Union and NATO allies.
By the way, this is the AI voice again.
This is France 24 using an AI voice.
Seeking stronger military aid to rebuff the Russian invasion.
He warned that Russia has been receiving its own foreign aid.
From our intelligence, we've got information that North Korea sent technical personnel and officers to Ukraine on temporarily occupied territories.
And they are preparing on their land 10,000 soldiers, but they didn't move them already to Ukraine or to Russia.
Zelensky has been selling what he calls his victory plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Major points of the plan include permission to use Western-supplied, longer-range missiles to strike military targets deep inside Russia, as well as an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO, steps that have been met with reluctance by Kiev's allies so far.
Nonetheless, the NATO chief said that eventual Ukrainian accession is inevitable.
I've spoken over the last three weeks with all allies.
All the allies have been to me in my office.
There is absolute unity.
We will massively make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to fight the war against Russia.
We will continue doing that.
And if anyone in the Kremlin will think...
That by sowing the vision, we will stop this.
No, this will not happen.
And Ukraine will be a member of NATO. There is no doubt about it.
NATO partners have been reluctant to invite Ukraine to join while fighting is ongoing.
Ukraine's membership could trigger NATO's collective security guarantee, thus dragging supporting countries into the war with Russia.
So the idea here is, let's get them into, they're probably going to do some kind of conditional membership, anything to be able to expand the war, to go against Russia.
What is not mentioned, I did have a chance to read through the victory plan, what Zelensky is saying is, if we can't join NATO, our only option is to acquire nuclear weapons.
Okay, that sounds kind of nefarious.
How do these guys let this twerp?
Threaten them like this.
Threaten who?
This is the plan.
This is a threat.
Look, I'm going to use nukes and everyone's going to be blowed up if you don't do what I want.
Give me more money.
This is just a setup.
This is just a setup.
This is what NATO wants.
You heard Ritter.
They will be a member of NATO. This is a fact.
And Putin is saying, you should probably not think about getting nuclear weapons.
During a meeting with media representatives from BRICS nations, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed Moscow's willingness to engage in discussions aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
This is another provocation.
It is not difficult to create nuclear weapons in modern world.
Yeah, we know.
Iran will have it any day now.
I do not know whether Ukraine is capable of doing this now.
It is not so simple for today's Ukraine, but in general, there are no big difficulties here.
Everything is clear how it is done.
This is a dangerous provocation because, of course, any steps in this direction will be met with an appropriate reaction.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that Ukraine might pursue nuclear armament if it does not receive NATO membership.
He conveyed to European Union leaders that Kiev requires a robust deterrent to counter Russian aggression.
So this is not a message to threaten.
This is a message from the military-industrial complex.
Shored up, people!
And they have their little spokeslady, Rutte, to do their dirty work.
Well, hold on a second before you continue.
If Ruta comes on and says you're going to be a member, you know, take it or leave it, you're going to be a member, what's the point of the threat then?
Because we don't know exactly when it will happen.
What we have said to Washington, and of course I will constantly repeat the language, but I think it was significant, the irreversible path to NATO membership.
So that means that, yes, in the future NATO will have as a 32 or 34th member, we will have Ukraine.
Who else is coming in?
There's more coming?
At the moment it seems that it will be Ukraine as number 33, but maybe somebody else pops in front of him.
Number 33, someone else will pop in front of him.
He is number 33, someone else will pop in front of him.
But Ukraine will be a member of NATO in the future.
That is what we decided in Washington.
So the question is not about the timeline.
What we are doing now with the pledge on track, with what we are doing in Wiesbaden, the command.
What we are doing is all the bilateral aid going into Ukraine at the moment.
All the efforts being coordinated amongst allies to work on the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Yes, bring your money!
The fact that we have now JTEC in Poland.
JTEC? Oh, what is JTEC? Which is working on the interoperability of Ukraine with NATO. Our bullets will fit in their guns.
This collectively, plus all the national security guarantees, bilaterally with Ukraine, they collectively constitute a bridge to NATO membership.
So then the question is exactly about when.
I cannot answer that now at this moment.
But clearly we are working on all these tracks to make sure that indeed one day there will be a member of NATO. Yes, the J-Tech is Jagov Tech.
The only other person who might pop in front of him, even though they're nowhere near us, could possibly be South Korea, I'm thinking, because North Korea is now basically in this war.
South Korean intelligence has released these satellite images claiming to show North Korean personnel gathered at a Russian military facility in Khabarovsk.
The spy agency believes North Korea has already started sending troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine, saying 1,500 soldiers have already started training.
This sounds like some horse crap to me.
No kidding.
You know, when I heard this, Mimi brought it up to me and I said, this is bull crap.
For one thing, it's just bullcrap.
I mean, what are the North Koreans going to go?
They're going to haul their ass all the way down to Ukraine to fight for the Russians and not defect?
I mean, the whole thing is it's the most ludicrous scenario I've ever heard.
I mean, it's just bad as well.
The Russians can't make any armaments, so the North Koreans seem to be doing so much work and sending personnel to go.
Why are they a poor country?
It doesn't make sense.
The only thing I could think of is maybe they'll have South Korea join NATO. I mean, it makes no sense, but none of this makes any sense.
No, I think what you just...
I never thought of that angle, but that could be, because they have talked about Japan and the Asian countries all of a sudden becoming part of NATO, which I think we ridiculed about a year ago when this was brought up, because it's North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
These guys aren't in the North Atlantic.
No, but they have lots of cooperation with NATO. There's lots of that, certainly in 2022.
Lots of things were happening.
This NATO thing is a threat to world peace.
So then the other thing that is happening, which I have two clips on, is the BRICS. The BRICS have a big summit taking place now.
They had the pre-summit this weekend, and everything kicks off this, I think, tomorrow and Tuesday.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin says the BRICS group will generate most of the global economic growth in the coming years due to its size and relatively fast growth.
He was speaking at the Blox Business Forum, which comes ahead of the BRICS summit, which gets underway in Russia on Tuesday.
The work of BRICS is not aimed against anyone.
It's aimed only at one general task, the sustainable development and flourishing of our countries and people.
It's a message that was welcomed by participants who see a lot of opportunities for their businesses in the BRICS countries.
Here comes the South African delegate.
The opportunity for South Africa and for the African continent that is presented by BRICS. This is absolutely massive.
South Africa has already seen growth in trade because of our presence in BRICS. Egypt has so many projects within Africa, so collaborative cooperation with BRICS member states to do projects in infrastructure with Egyptian companies is a benefit win-win for both sides.
Egypt imports 50% of its food, where BRICS is one of the main suppliers.
Facing isolation over Russia's actions in Ukraine, Putin hopes BRICS will be a powerful counterweight to the West in both global trade and politics.
So what most people are interested in, what I'm interested in, is the BRICS monetary system they'll be talking about, which supposedly is going to be a basket of 40% gold-backed, just gold, which we know China's been acquiring a lot of and Russia probably has a lot, and then some of the larger currencies.
And this weekend they launched a demo, and I'll tell you more about it, of BRICS pay!
Yeah!
During the BRICS Business Forum at the International Trade Center in Moscow that was held on October the 17th through October the 18th, a new BRICS Pay card was revealed for the first time.
It is part of a new BRICS Pay transaction settlement system, so the card itself is just a small fraction of what is to come and what the BRICS block is currently working on.
Just as intended, BricsPay provides the Blox member countries with expanded payment options.
During the conference, every single person who was in attendance had an opportunity to test this new BricsPay card.
I believe that each card had a balance on it that allowed an individual to get a coffee or get a light meal.
It could be used during the forum on October the 17th through October the 18th in stores with special Bricks Pay markings.
To activate that money, one needed to register in the system and then just scan the QR code of the card itself.
To make a payment once the registration was complete, a person needed to scan that QR code from the squadron It's quite easy and very, very convenient.
So they make it look like BricsPay is a thing and they have real fancy graphics on their website.
It's a spoken hub model of these central banks, basically the same as SWIFT. And yes, thank you, Alberta Guru.
They missed a great marketing opportunity by calling it BricsBucks, but I guess they didn't consult us.
What this is, what they have going now, is an app that is not in the app stores yet.
It's a progressive web app.
And you have to, in order to use Bricks Pay, you have to enter in a Visa or MasterCard credit card.
So it's basically Bricks Venmo.
It's complete horse crap.
There's nothing working.
At least not what they're showing.
In order to use this, you have to use Visa or MasterCard?
It's dumb.
So, they're just demoing stuff.
It's vaporware, as far as I'm concerned, at this point.
Oh, it's going to be CBDCs and everything.
Okay, well, I haven't seen it yet.
So, BRICS. But BRICS is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
They got Saudi Arabia, they got Egypt, they got Somalia.
They got a lot of South Africa.
People are joining up left and right.
They got India.
Until somebody makes them a better offer.
Trump!
Trump will make them a better offer.
I say, you don't want to use the U.S. dollar?
3,000% tariffs.
Oh, yes, sir.
I love the U.S. dollar.
Well, yeah.
Trump will put an end to it.
Yeah, yeah.
When he's president.
So I have a couple of clips about Trump.
Mostly about CBS, actually.
You know, some of the best analysis of what's going on with the campaign is out of Sky News.
Oh, they're very funny.
In Australia.
They have funny reports on us.
They never report anything funny about their own idiocy.
No, they can't do that.
Because that's against the law.
The Elmer Fudd dude.
It's against the law in Australia.
You can't make fun of anybody.
Yeah, same thing in Canada.
You can't talk about your own people.
Did you hear that in England...
In the UK, if you say to a Muslim, God bless you, and the Muslim is offended, you are technically breaking the law.
Yeah.
And there was some other guy who was in the buffer zone of an abortion clinic, and you're not allowed to protest or say anything to people inside the buffer zone.
And so he decided to bow his head and pray and got arrested.
Yeah.
And convicted.
Yeah.
For praying in his head.
Yeah, it's out of control.
Isn't that the definition of thought crime?
They've been doing thought crime prosecutions for years now.
But meanwhile, they're going to give Ozempic to everyone who's obese and out of work because that'll get the workforce back on their feet.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah.
I don't know what's wrong with what happened.
What happened?
They've fallen.
Britain has fallen.
Britain has fallen.
They've been co-opted.
They've taken over.
Co-opted.
Yeah.
Well, that must be it.
Yeah.
So I got these clips.
These are from this guy Josh Hammers, an American editor-at-large at Newsweek.
And he's got some nasty things to say about CBS, including clip two, which is the one that will follow, that I just was taken aback by, and I never heard about this.
But let's listen to these.
They're complaining about CBS and why Trump didn't do it in 60 minutes and just complaining.
They're just bitterly complaining over there in Australia about Sky News with this guy.
That could be an absolute train wreck.
Donald Trump has already, I think, indicated he's going to be doing Rogan, but if she ends up doing it, wow, grab the popcorn, it's going to be a fun one.
But she also had a go at Donald Trump for refusing to sit down and talk to 60 Minutes.
His staff won't let him do a 60 Minutes interview.
Every president for the last half century has done one.
Anyone who's running for president.
Now, put to one side the fact that 60 Minutes audience is nowhere near what it used to be, I can think of two very good reasons why Donald Trump should, out of principle, not speak to 60 Minutes again.
What are your thoughts?
I'm interested to see if your reasons are the same as mine.
Rita, here in the US, CBS News has recently exposed itself as maybe the most blatantly corrupt of...
I'm sorry.
This guy is a puker, John.
This is great.
Your thoughts.
I'm interested to see if your reasons are the same as mine.
Rita, here in the U.S., CBS News has recently exposed itself as maybe the most blatantly corrupt of all the various corporate media networks.
And that is saying a lot, what I just said, because there is a lot there.
There are a lot of options to choose from.
CBS News, I mean, let's just run down the list in quick succession.
First, they hosted that vice presidential debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walls, where J.D. Vance absolutely clobbered Tim Walls, notwithstanding the fact that the two CBS moderators were fact-checking J.D. Vance in real time, notwithstanding the fact that they had given him their exact word, that they would not do that before the debate.
That's number one.
Number two, we had a Maoist struggle session in real time at CBS News when the morning anchor Tony Dokopil started to ask very reasonable basic questions to left wing charlatan Ta-Nehisi Coates.
He was on to promote his deeply anti-Semitic book, The Message.
Tony Dokopol is asking very basic questions.
Why didn't you talk about Hezbollah, the second intifada?
And apparently the big wigs, the C-suite at CBS News, was so upset that their anchor had the temerity, had the chutzpah to ask basic questions to Ta-Nehisi Coates, that they had a company-wide struggle session the next day whereby Tony Dokopil, the anchor, actually broke down in tears.
I'm so sorry, Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Wow, this guy is Ben Shapiro.
He talks a little fast, it's true.
He has a total Ben Shapiro cadence.
He does, now that you mention it.
But anyway, he's talking about some of the stuff behind the scenes in CBS and he drops this little gem, which is the second clip, it's very short.
That I was unaware of this, but this is somewhat scandalous, it seems to me.
And then it came out in the aftermath of that, that their standards and practice division at CBS News actually, in a closely related point, they instructed all of the anchors and journalists of the network to not refer to Jerusalem as being in Israel.
Because it's Palestine, I guess?
No, it's not Palestine.
It's not in Palestine.
There's no Palestine to begin with.
According to CBS. Yeah, I guess so.
Where else are they going to put it?
I guess it has to be, yeah.
I think you're right.
But it's like, what?
What?
First of all, they bring on this guy that he's bitching about, which is this...
I saw this...
You know, Dokopol, who I've ridiculed on the show, he's a reasonable, you know, normal guy.
His kids live in Israel.
So he's got some questions asked of this black guy who comes out with this hateful book, a Jew-hating book, and he asks them questions.
I don't even think they were that poignant.
And he gets read the Riot Act by CBS execs, and then they pull this stunt?
What's going on at CBS? Yeah, they're falling apart.
I think the CIA bailed on him.
I think that's what happened.
I've been convinced that the connection has been cut.
Yeah.
So here we go with the final clip which wraps it up.
By the way, I forgot to mention the last part.
They actually, as we all now know, they actually edited Kamala Harris' own 60 Minutes interview.
She gave this word salad of all word salads when it came to U.S.'s relations and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
That was one of my two reasons, Josh.
That, because that was just so deeply dishonest to deceptively edit her answer.
And the answer they put wasn't even part of the original answer.
It wasn't that they cut it short.
They just...
Switch things around to make her look strong and decisive instead of absolutely incoherent and weak, which was what her actual answer indicated.
And the second reason was Donald Trump sat down with 60 Minutes last time around back in 2020 and they claimed that...
Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation, that it wasn't real.
And they've never apologised for that.
And I think that is just another reason why Donald Trump should go tell them to jump.
I'm looking this story up.
So the New York Post had this story about CBS News telling staffers not to call Jerusalem or not to say Jerusalem isn't Israel.
They got it.
The New York Post got it from Barry Weiss's outfit, The First Post.
Well, CBS has never denied it, so I'm assuming it's true.
There are some corrections that I need to make about this report, though, that I just played.
First of all, I went over the Leslie Stahl interview with Trump, and I was going to clip it, but I didn't.
Maybe because I can summarize better.
She never said that the laptop was disinformation.
What she said was that when Trump said it was a scandal, she says, no, it wasn't.
You're kidding.
It's not a scandal now.
And she just downplayed the whole thing, which implied that the...
Laptop was disinformation, but she never actually, per se, never said that.
Could it be that there's some distancing from the CIA since 51 intelligence execs or former intelligence people all said it was Russian disinformation?
I think there's some element there, and I think there's one more little thing that I, this is my kind of meta look at things, which is that If you're associated with the CIA to such an extreme as the CBS people, that means people are embedded there.
And they're still going to be doing the messaging whether the company doesn't want to do it or not because they're now owned by Sherry Redstone.
And I think that...
She kept that in the deal?
She sold Paramount but she kept it?
She's still running it, yeah.
But she kept CBS when she sold off everything else or Paramount...
She still owns Paramount, too.
She hasn't sold...
Well, she sold off Paramount to that...
Yeah, to...
Ellison's kid.
Ellison's kid, yeah.
I think she's...
Well, maybe I'm wrong about Sherry being involved.
But whatever the case, that's not important.
Because what I'm thinking is there's still guys there that are representing, as it were.
And I think that that edit that was done of the Kamala thing where they played the one clip of her yakking away about nothing and then they showed a little excerpt.
Yeah, that was a CIA setup.
I think it was a setup.
I think it was done on purpose so they could get caught to get burned.
Hmm.
Because it was so obvious.
First they put it out there and they just let it sit and let the social media people take it apart.
And then they got burned.
Oh, look what they did.
They did this edit.
They're editing it.
They're editing it.
And I think that was done on purpose, just to hurt her campaign.
She is under attack.
The more I see these elements that are appearing, it's to make it look like they want Trump in.
You say so.
I say so.
They want Trump in, but they can't make it obvious.
It'll be interesting to see if the far right in America doesn't spike the ball and shoves it in everybody's face.
Of course they're going to spike the ball.
Yeah.
Sad.
I hope they don't.
They can't not.
Everybody spikes the ball.
Everybody spikes the ball!
They do.
You do too.
Yeah, well, okay.
You're right.
Everybody spikes the ball.
That's what you do.
You get your touchdown, you spike the ball.
The number of people that don't spike the ball is so unusual.
It stands out because of it.
I don't spike the ball.
I just do my end zone shuffle.
Yeah, you do a dance.
Yes, I do.
Well, let's stick in the region.
And same report, two different versions.
This is NBC. Tonight, a drone fired toward the Israeli Prime Minister's residence.
Benjamin Netanyahu's office says an unmanned aircraft sent from Hezbollah in Lebanon targeted his home north of Tel Aviv.
The IDF said a drone struck a building nearby, causing no injuries or significant damage.
So that's the NBC report.
Here's the TRT, Turkish radio television report.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are being used by Hezbollah to target critical locations in Israel, marking a significant escalation.
A drone directly hit the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea.
So did it hit a building nearby or did it hit the home?
Seems rather confusing.
Do we even know?
I've never been...
From these reports, I don't think I have one of these clips, but I can't tell.
No.
They don't really let you know.
Hey, you know, have you heard all those reports about a year ago, supposedly 20-foot drones were flying over Andrew's airbase, and they must have come from a ship, a Chinese ship?
Have you heard this?
No.
Oh, no.
I've got to get some reports on it because they show video and they show drones with flashing anti-collision lights.
What kind of covert operation is that?
It doesn't sound right.
No, I'm not quite sure what's going on there.
This I thought was rather interesting, though.
We have managed to confirm that these two documents that were leaked on Telegram on Friday do appear to be authentic.
And they are highly classified documents that suggest that the U.S. has been essentially spying on Israel's plans to retaliate against Iran.
They also have markings suggesting that the only entities that should be viewing these documents are the U.S. and some of its closest allies, the Five Eyes Partnership.
This is obviously very concerning to U.S. officials.
And while we are not going to quote from these documents or share them directly, we can outline them broadly.
One of them, for example, which is sourced to the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, discusses Israel's movement of certain munitions in order to prepare for a possible strike on Iran.
Another document, which is sourced to the National Security Agency, discusses the Israeli Air Force's preparations and exercises for a strike, including information about the Israeli Air Force's use of air-to-surface missiles.
And so this is obviously going to cause some consternation, to say the least, in Israel itself.
And of course, it comes in a very delicate moment between the U.S. and Israel.
And so for now, what we're hearing from U.S. officials is that they're not going to confirm the authenticity of these statements for now when we reached out for official comment.
But we are told that one of the main focuses of the investigation at this point is just determining who had access to these documents to begin with.
Yeah, this is so transparent to me.
Of course.
No, Israel's doing it.
That strike on Iran, it wasn't our bombers.
No, it was Israel.
It was Israel.
This is very sketchy, I agree.
Plausible deniability.
Well, they attacked, but it wasn't us.
I love some of the people like, you're so wrong, Curry.
You shill.
Israel runs America, not the other way around.
You should know better than that.
You're a Zionist shill.
Yeah, that's right.
Sir Brian of London is so mad.
That whole thing was bullcrap!
It's a pile of bullcrap!
Brian of London is the best.
A pile of bullcrap!
It's not true!
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
And why is he Brian of London when he lives in Israel?
Because he used to be in London.
So what?
Well, and then he moved to Israel.
And now he's still Sir Brian.
Now he's a Zionist shill.
He always was a Zionist shill, just he used to be in London.
That's good.
It doesn't matter to me.
He's a good guy.
So this is unsurprising, but yet troubling.
It went much faster than I thought it would.
If we can move out of the region, I'd like to go to Big Pharma.
Let's see what we got here.
Yeah, listen to this.
Today, a major shake-up at CVS Health.
CEO Karen Lynch suddenly replaced at the nation's biggest pharmacy chain.
Healthcare is so personal to you and me.
that you can't lose sight of that human connection.
Facing financial struggles under her leadership, CVS is on track to close 900 of its nearly 10,000 locations in its three-year plan and cut about 3,000 corporate jobs.
Industry-wide, an estimated 7,000 pharmacies have already shuttered in the last five years.
Walgreens just this week announced 1,200 of its remaining stores could soon close.
And Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy last year.
Older demographics, they want to sit down with the pharmacist, understand the medicine.
Younger demographics, they don't want to interact with pharmacists.
They want their medicine, and they want it cheap, and they want it at their doorstep.
What does a pharmacy look like when it comes to getting your medication in five years?
You could have potentially 25-30% less pharmacies in the next two, three years than there are today.
The retail closures are creating even more drugstore deserts.
That has Amazon Pharmacy taking flight.
Testing prescription drone delivery in Texas with plans to open pharmacies in 20 more cities next year.
Changes in consumer habits prescribing a new dose of reality.
So this went really fast.
I mean, we really accelerated telemedicine during COVID. It seems like, you know, what a setup this was to accelerate that.
Then we got everybody doing medicine by mail.
With Amazon now leading the charge, and of course...
Yeah, Amazon gets blamed for this, but this started long before Amazon, because I have been on Medicare for a while, and every time you get your...
You have to buy Plan B or whatever it is from one of these characters.
Not the Medicare Plus, which is a total jip, but just the drug payment system.
You get a note, hey, you know, we can mail these drugs.
This is from, like, Humana.
Humana.
Oh, we can mail you the drugs.
I don't know why you're buying them at a pharmacy.
They're the ones, the same guys that are paying for the pharmacy bills that you're paying just five bucks for or whatever for a drug that costs way too much because they're overcharging.
They're the ones that set up shoppers.
We'll mail them to you and you say, you save five bucks.
This is all the insurance companies.
You know, plan B is something different than you think it is.
Well, whatever it is, there's a drug plan.
The point is that these middlemen, not the middlemen who buy and sell drugs to the pharmacies, but these insurance companies have horned in on this whole thing, and they're the ones behind it.
And Amazon just saw it as an opportunity and took advantage of it, but if it wasn't for these other guys, it probably never happened.
Well, it's great because the young kids, they just want their Adderall through the mail.
Just send me my Vyvanse, man.
That's what it's about.
It's just drug dealing.
It's just drug dealing through the U.S. Postal Service.
I want to ask you a question.
So Tina decided that she wanted to, she's 62, she said, you know, I'm going to take early retirement.
And so she, you know, goes the whole rigmarole with the Social Security office.
And then she gets a mail, a letter in the mail.
It's like, okay, you're all set up starting February.
And of course you get less.
You know, you don't get your full percentage.
Yeah, you get a lowered percentage.
Which she wants to immediately invest in Bitcoin, which I think is great.
But from what I understand, if you make more than $35,000 a year married or $32,000 single, then they'll take 50%?
They'll tax your Social Security by 50%?
They tax it, yeah.
Well, no, it's worse than that.
What they do...
What is this horse crap?
What they do is they take, they lower your benefits.
I wouldn't, by the way, what she wants to do, I personally, I wouldn't do it.
But okay, if she wants to do it.
Mimi also took early, but she took early at like 65 or so, and that was early.
When I, it's just a long story, but I, they do the math for you and say, well, here's how much you get, here's what the total payout's going to be if you wait.
And the total payout is so high that I don't understand why people do it early.
But here's what they do.
First, they have a set amount that you're going to get a month.
And then if you're making money...
Like you are doing, and I'm doing, and she's part of that, because it's part of your income.
They say, well, that's interesting, and they have a sliding scale.
Instead of giving you the $3,000 a month or whatever you're going to get, because you're making money, we're going to drop that to $2,000.
And then, oh, and by the way, that $2,000 that you're going to get is going to be taxed.
So this is why they have such a great deal going with Walmart.
You get all these old people who want to supplement their income, and so they make sure that these old people who are working at Walmart don't make more than $32,000 a year so it doesn't impact their Social Security payments.
Well, I don't know if the scheme goes that deep, but maybe.
Well, from Walmart's perspective, it might.
I'm sure maybe Walmart's figured it out.
It's possible.
Ugh.
But isn't that money that we gave them already?
I mean, how can this be right?
Is that what Trump says?
Social security is separate from income tax, and you pay into a fund, and you're supposed to get that money back.
It's like forced savings, so you get your money back.
But you don't.
But you don't.
No, you don't.
Okay.
Is this what Trump is saying?
There'll be no tax on Social Security?
Yes.
And everybody who's got any sense who gets Social Security, which is everybody over, like, Tina's age, I guess, are crazy not to vote for Trump just to save that.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah.
Wow.
But he can't.
That has to go through Congress.
He can't do that.
Yeah, of course it does.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow.
But, you know, it's one of those votes, if you vote against it, you expect to get re-elected.
It's one of those tricky little guys.
You can get it through Congress.
Wow.
All right.
Well, that blows.
Well, if you don't mind, it does blow.
It blows.
We're overtaxed.
Yeah, well, that's been going on for a while.
I have a climate change clip.
I have a Boeing clip.
All right, let's do...
We definitely need to do the Boeing clip because I think they're...
Are they close to ending this thing?
Yeah, no, that's done.
Done deal.
After several rounds of failed talks and an ongoing strike, Boeing and its largest union reached a tentative contract agreement that includes raises of 35% over four years.
That's a big jump over the previous contract offer and close to the amount the union initially asked for.
Workers vote on the tentative contract next week.
The strike was a big hit to Boeing's bottom line, crippling most airplane production at Boeing and leading to cost-cutting measures and layoffs, and a plan to raise money by selling new stock or debt.
The deal also includes a bonus of $7,000 if workers ratify the deal.
Hmm.
I think that'll close the deal.
Interestingly enough, the postal letter carriers union, They got screwed.
So their tentative agreement is for 1.3% increase, and it's my understanding they cannot strike.
Interesting.
Yeah.
We have a lot of mail carriers, and they are not happy.
And they shouldn't be.
No.
Before we play the climate change clip, I do have this clip to get out of the way because I wonder about its authenticity.
I look at it and look at it.
I know how you can do certain tricks, but it looks real to me.
I'm going to say no.
You're going to say it's fake?
Yeah.
You're talking about the Kamala drunk clip.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
But we'll listen to it.
I have not, I've only watched it.
Listening to it is always better.
It's much better for deconstructing.
So, I guess the, where is it?
Kamala drunk.
Never let anyone take your joy from you.
I call myself a joyful warrior.
Right?
Never let anyone take your joy from you.
You do what you gotta do.
And isn't that a wonderful way to live?
To know you have purpose.
Yeah, I think that's doctored.
I think, if anything, she's stoned.
I cannot make a determination on this.
I've watched it a number of times.
I watch her and I watch the clip.
It's blurry, which bothers me.
Yeah.
And they put music under it, which is annoying.
Yeah, but there are versions without the music.
Alright, we need to find the original.
Hop to it, Trolls.
This was done in some setting that we don't have access to, or it hasn't been...
I haven't seen a version of it showing the full context, because if she's drunk there, she's drunk throughout.
Yeah.
Which is...
So I would probably lean toward what you're thinking, but I still...
I like the clip.
I think it's hilarious.
Exactly.
She sounds drunk, but we know she drinks.
It's fun.
It's fun.
It's always fun.
Poor woman.
What's she going to do after she loses?
She's so arrogant.
She'll just take a consulting gig somewhere and make more money.
Oh, it'll be interesting to see where.
So this guy, Ian Plymer, Plymer, Plymer.
I just thought this was an out-of-the-blue clip that showed up.
These are the classics that we did, a climate special, and if people can look back on it, I did it some, I don't know, a few years ago, and it has mostly clips like this, questioning all climate change arguments, and I thought this was a decent one to play.
We have been cooling down for the last 4,000 years.
So people say, oh, the planet's warming.
Well...
It's all about when you start the measurements.
If we look at the last 38 years, there has been no change in temperature.
If we look in the last 150 years, we've had three warming periods and three cooling periods where the total warmth of about 0.6 degrees Celsius.
Now, I wonder why it warms.
I mean, 1850, what happened then?
Oh, yes, that was the end of the little ice age.
Do you think it's going to warm or cool after a little ice age?
Of course it's going to warm.
So if you start taking measurements from 1850 in the Industrial Revolution, we have been warming.
If you take measurements from the medieval warming, we've been cooling.
We've cooled about five degrees since then.
If you take measurements from the Roman warming, we've cooled about five degrees.
So as soon as someone tells you, oh, it's warming, the reply you give is, since when?
I think COP16 is underway or coming up soon in Colombia.
Is that a place you have to fly to?
Yeah, baby.
Do they have good hotels in Colombia?
Because we've got the big conference there.
I believe so.
Oh, well, lovely.
Due to climate change.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Yeah, baby, it's time for a little thank you going out to all of the producers who supported us, $50 and above.
I will interrupt where appropriate.
We have a couple more on-the-spot donations from the Fredericksburg Meetup.
We do have the big Fredericksburg Meetup report coming from Matt Long, who organized that with his lovely wife, Gail.
We appreciate that.
Of course, we have some Commodores to welcome as they are arriving.

Sure.
Nathan Cochran starts us off.
He's in Franklin, Tennessee.
Oh, he's from Mercy Me.

I'm very happy.
Tina's like, what should we do with it?
I said, keep them.
I want to spend.
Two dollar bills are fun to spend.
People are like, what is this?
What is this?
They never understand it.
So, thank you all very much.
It was a lot of fun meeting everybody.
It's a lot of $2 bills.
Yes.

Noagendameetups.com.

It's real easy and fun.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you won't be.
Triggered or held to blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Like a party.
It is.
It was a great party.
I really enjoyed it.
It was kind of out of the way for a lot of people, but I'm glad people came.
This is where we select the end of show ISO, and I have three.
I will start it off.
This is America!
And I have...
Goodbye.
See ya.
And of course...
I love cows.
Another evergreen clip.
Hard to beat the I Love Cows.
I don't know what you got.
What you got?
I got Fabulous.
Fabulous podcast.
Thanks, boys.
Oh, there's...
I mean, yes, you're done.
Where are you getting these?
I got that one from a really obscure podcast.
You need to do Who Are These Podcasts again.
You need to do that segment.
You know, you're always...
It's always good.
I'm just on a roll.
Yes, you are.
All right, everybody, it's time now for everybody's favorite moment of the show, John's Tip of the Day!
Great advice for you and me Just a tip with J.C.D. And sometimes Adam.
I have actually two tips again.
One general tip, but one tip for a very select portion of the audience.
If you have Google TV... Google?
YouTube TV or Google TV? I mean, sorry, YouTube TV. I don't know.
I always say that.
If you type in Google TV, you get some other thing.
Yeah, it's different.
It's no good.
No, it sucks.
Um...
There used to be a thing for NFL viewers, just people who like watching football.
There's a thing called the Red Zone, which is a terrific, but you have to pay for it.
It's a terrific summary site.
You don't watch any football games.
You just watch this in real time.
It tells you what's going on.
But if you go to turn to the NFL networks, they have this thing that's like Football Today Live.
During the football games on Sunday, go to this.
It's a clone.
It's a clone.
It's a cheap clone of the Red Zone.
It actually may be better because there's more than one guy doing it.
Just a tip for you football viewers.
Is it cheaper?
It's free!
It's free?!
Yeah, it's free.
If you've got YouTube TV, you get the NFL Network free.
And you just, you got it.
You can watch this instead and it doesn't cost you anything.
So anyway, it's just kind of a football guy thing.
Good tip?
It is a good tip.
So I'm going to talk about chia seeds.
I have a chia pet.
Yeah, well, chia seeds, which they sell now because they're a nutritional kind of a thing you can add to your food.
But for people who don't know, if you add a couple tablespoons of these seeds, which are pretty tasteless, but you add them to a smoothie or a milkshake or anything, it'll thicken it up like crazy.
And it's like a natural thickener, except the fact that these chia seeds are hard as a rock.
Don't they get stuck in your teeth?
No, no.
This is what the tip is.
Ah.
You got to put it through the blender, and then you got to wait five minutes so the chia seeds kind of soak in the smoothie or the juice, so they soften up.
And then when you hit the blender again, it turns into a thick goo, which is dynamite, and the seeds are gone.
They don't stick in your teeth.
This is my culinary tip of the day.
Wow.
Wow.
Sorry.
Soon coming from Gateway Publishing, TooManySeeds.com.
All right, everybody.
Wow, John.
Dynamite.
Yeah, okay.
Well, you know, people will appreciate it once they do it.
No, they will.
It's like Neva and her leash.
Yes.
No, people love the tips.
Tipoftheday.net, noagendafun.com.
Find out all about the tips.
People even going on X. That was a great tip!
End of show mixes.
By request, we'll do the Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
Then we have Miracle Wolf, David Kekta, Hugh Allison, and Sir Winkler.
Who comes in with just a massively cool end-of-show mix.
Coming up next on No Agenda Stream, if you're listening at Trollroom.io, just stay right where you are.
It'll pop on automatically.
Hog Story, episode 415.
And that's titled Elephants Think.
I guess they do.
And coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, home of the Fredericksburg Meetup in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the weather's great.
October, of course, that's why.
I'm John C. DuBois.
Remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday for another three, three and a half hours, whatever it takes of media deconstruction.
We serve you to make sense of your world.
Until then, adios mofos, hooey hooey, and such, and rise and sing.
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up together.
Human resources and servants in all lands and all ships at sea.
From the east to west, down under to the lowlands and beyond.
We are happy and distracted slaves.
Hear our kid-mo-nation song In the morning!
If they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.
Total control.
We're going to shut this down.
We're going to throw these people in jail.
There is a yearning for leaders who can kill and imprison their opponents.
Leaders who can kill We lose total control.
And I find that absolutely gobsmacking terrifying.
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?
He's calling his democratic opponents, the enemy within.
Enemy within.
Hello?
We're not making this up.
Honestly, let that sink in.
Hello?
Oh, I did it again!
Oh, no.
That is a fact.
That is a fact.
It is the enemy from within, and they're very dangerous.
They're Marxists and communists and fascists.
I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within.
We have some very bad people.
We have some sick people, radical left lunatics.
Oh, I want to talk about IVF.
I'm the father of IVF.
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.
It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Liriri.
It's always a couple weeks away.
Well, that's just for the goo.
It'll take much longer to package it into a missile.
Yeah, they keep changing the target.
A week away, a week away, a couple weeks away.
For years.
For a decade.
It's been a year over a decade.
Now they are only days or weeks away from having enough uranium goo.
However, Milley says, it will still take quite a period of time to package that into a missile.
If Israel sends a couple of missiles over, they're going to hit anything.
A week away, a week away, a week away, a week away, a week away, a week away.
We do better than NPR. They're eating the dogs.
They're eating the cats.
They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
And this is what's happening in our country.
Country.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
You know?
What can be unburdened by what has been?
What can be unburdened by what has been?
Shut up already.
I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within.
Not even the people that have come in.
We have some sick people, radical left people from within.
We have some very bad people, radical left lunatics.
If necessary by national guard or if really necessary by the military.
Because they can't let that happen.
He's the one who talks about an enemy within.
Within.
An enemy within.
Suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people.
Shut up already!
Bomb them paper.
Bomb them.
Right now.
And bomb them again.
They're telling you.
Bomb them.
And the enemy within.
Bomb them.
Fascist.
And bomb them again.
Dangerous.
And bomb them again.
The basics.
Bomb them.
The Supreme Court.
Bomb them.
Has green lighted it.
Bomb them.
Fascist.
And bomb them again.
Dangerous.
Bomb them.
Let that sink in.
To go after American citizens?
You can take that to the bank.
Bomb them.
The enemy.
Bomb them. From within. Bomb them. Lunatics. Kill them.
