	I make phones.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, October 30th, 2025.
	This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1812.
	This is no agenda.
	Canadians are beating us in baseball.
	And we're 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 I have nothing clever to say, especially about baseball.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Lovin Buzzkill in the morning.
	And here I am thinking you'd be impressed by my sports ball knowledge.
	I am.
	Well, thank you.
	And tell us what.
	Okay, tell us what's happening.
	Well, I'll tell you exactly what's happening.
	We are so distraught over Canadians beating us at baseball that we are bringing out the curse of the colonel.
	World Series resumed tonight in LA.
	We have to see if Colonel Sanders is there again.
	A lookalike of Colonel was spotted behind home plate Saturday.
	One theory is it's a reference to the curse of the colonel, a Japanese belief that the ghost of Colonel Sanders cursed a Japanese baseball team after someone threw a statue of him from a local KFC into a river.
	Now, the Dodgers have three players from Japan.
	The Curse of the Colonel.
	Surely you've heard of that.
	Yeah.
	So I knew you'd be impressed.
	I knew it.
	I knew it.
	That's a good clip to pull.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the Dodgers have gone.
	They've just gone flat.
	Mookie Bets is the key to this.
	Mookie Bets.
	Mookie?
	Mookie?
	Who's Mookie?
	Mookie can't hit the ball.
	Mookie, what's wrong with Mookie?
	So is it 3-2 right now?
	Is that the standing?
	3-2?
	3.
	Yes, and whoever wins the fourth game wins the World Series.
	So the Dodgers can come back, but they're going back to Toronto.
	The likelihood watching them try to bat, except for Otani, who is just, you know, he's hanging in there.
	The rest of the team can't hit.
	I remember when the Japanese, didn't the Japanese win once?
	Didn't they win the World Series once?
	I'm pretty sure they did.
	Wow.
	I'm pretty sure.
	There you go.
	You were doing so well.
	You were hanging in there, actually.
	I'm pretty sure the Japanese won at one time.
	I remember when they had their shot at it.
	It was an outrage.
	I remember it.
	Wow.
	As I was reflecting this morning, as I often do, I was thinking to myself, John, I really love doing this show with you.
	Of all the things I could be doing with my life at 61.
	But yeah, it's rocky.
	It's a roller coaster.
	But it is fun.
	Let's just admit it.
	I mean, you could have to be booking guests.
	Have a okay.
	Let's just for people out there, we don't want to bore you stuff with the background, how great we are.
	Yeah, no, we're great.
	Come on, we're great.
	The best decision we ever made when we came up with this show idea was to never have guests.
	People out there have no idea.
	They really don't.
	They really don't.
	It's the worst.
	I mean, I saw Joe Rogan had Miranda Lambert on, which I thought was an interesting choice.
	But then you really know that the podcast, the Potosphere, has become saturated with guests.
	And Joe's reaching for really, that's very off, almost off-brand for him.
	Do you even know who Miranda Lambert is?
	No, I do not.
	I'm waiting for you to kind of tell me without embarrassing me by the fact that I don't know who the hell it is.
	Well, she's a very famous country singer, and she was married to Blake Shelton.
	Oh, yes, no, I do know who it is.
	Yes, yes, no.
	Yes, no.
	Before Blake dumped her to run off with the blonde.
	Yeah, From No Doubt.
	From No Doubt.
	That girl.
	The No Doubt girl.
	The No Doubt girl.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, I just, it's like, and I get, how many notes did you get?
	I got, you need to watch Tucker and Nick Fuentes.
	I know you hate Tucker, which, by the way, Tucker at all.
	We like Tucker.
	He's great.
	We like Tucker.
	Exactly.
	Just because we complain about him.
	I did watch that episode.
	I thought that was interesting.
	Mo actually tweeted out a funny meme.
	He said, finally, the war is settled between the FBI and the CIA.
	They're friends again.
	Now, that's an inside joke, I guess.
	Well, it's a running gag with this show.
	Yeah, it's a running gag because, you know, the story is, of course, Tucker's a Fed and Fuentes is a Fed.
	Oh, yeah, it's a good bit.
	It is a good bit.
	And as I'm listening to that podcast, because I don't watch podcasts, I got no time to watch a podcast.
	I'll listen to the podcast.
	I'm like, this Fuentes, he's a political guy.
	I didn't realize he has a PAC and he does, you know, he organizes for people that he thinks should win office.
	He's political.
	He's a moneymaker.
	He must be.
	Well, I don't know if he's making a lot of money, but I'm sure he's making.
	No, I mean, in terms of making money for candidates.
	Yeah.
	He's a fundraiser.
	That's the word I should have used.
	So they had a lot more in common than they did differences.
	And as I'm listening to this, and all the Jew hate, all that, who cares?
	I don't care what they're talking about there.
	But I thought this was interesting that neither of them really are really honest about their feelings towards other countries other than Israel.
	Listen to this little clip.
	I just feel like it needs to be called out explicitly.
	And I like what you said.
	If the other day, if you're serving in another country's military or have duality, that clip is stopped.
	Did it go like, did the thing tend to go, I like what you said the other day.
	I like what you said.
	No, I liked what you said.
	No, no, no.
	I liked what you said better than what you liked, what I said.
	No.
	No, no, it wasn't like that.
	But this is particularly, this is that they both have a problem with Israel and the perception that Israel controls American politicians.
	That's where they really have common ground.
	Now, this show is of a different opinion that Israel does not control America.
	Indirectly, it may have influence on our politicians through AIPAC, funded by the military-industrial complex, who sends military money for them to buy our stuff.
	Okay.
	Before you continue, did you watch JD Vance's speech at the University of Mississippi?
	Some of it.
	Yeah, some of it.
	Why?
	He brought this same, he brought the topic up.
	Oh, gosh, I wish I did not see that.
	What did he say?
	I didn't clip it.
	He's really a good speaker.
	It's kind of surprising how good he is.
	But he brought the topic up.
	He's totally with us.
	Oh, really?
	No.
	Okay.
	I'll have to clip it now.
	Now I'll have to go and just go look at it.
	It was a little longer than I'd like.
	Yeah, well, just for prosperity.
	But this is true.
	This is blatantly true.
	And you notice how that noise has kind of simmered down a little bit, but not with these two.
	But here's the thing that I just felt was like, oh, you know, it just hit me like, no, you guys are full of crap.
	Listen.
	I just feel like it needs to be called out explicitly.
	And I like what you said.
	If the other day, if you're serving in another country's military or have dual citizenship, you really can't be a part of this project.
	Well, that's just that's an easy one, but I am much more comfortable as a Christian and an American keeping it on that level because, you know, it's easy to just set rules that universal rules that apply to everyone, not just the Jews or the Christians or anybody, just like Americans can only serve in the U.S. military or they lose their passport.
	I mean, I don't know.
	That's not hard.
	And I don't know.
	Why not?
	I want to just say that.
	No, why aren't I saying that?
	So as I'm listening to that, I'm like, where were Tucker and Fuentes about the hundreds, perhaps thousands of people who went and fought for the Ukrainians?
	How come I didn't hear anyone talking about, well, you can't do that?
	That's your, you're fighting for a different country.
	You should lose your passport.
	Yeah.
	Just like straight catch.
	Yeah.
	So that just shows a severe bias.
	But then on the other hand, it was fascinating to hear Fuentes, and now I agree with him on this one.
	He was talking about an assassination attempt that was made against him.
	And it was some young guy who the whole story is kind of lengthy, so I didn't include that.
	Some young guy who had a fight with his roommate and he shot his roommate, then shot his parents and then went to go kill Fuentes, which didn't happen, luckily for him, of course.
	But here's his thinking of who was behind this.
	I mean, it's a well-documented fact that all kinds of bad actors use unstable people for political assassinations, right?
	It's happened.
	We know it's happened.
	So here's Tucker setting it up.
	Like, come on, man.
	We know Israel did it.
	So do you think this might be an example of that?
	I don't think so, but it's certainly possible.
	The reason I say I don't think so.
	It's kind of funny.
	I mean, I think of you as conspiracy-minded, but you don't have a conspiracy in mind here.
	No, because I really believe that when you look at all these things, and by these things, I mean these like really disturbing instances of violence like Luigi Mangion or Charlie Kirk or these school shootings, there is something going on with these kids.
	It's nihilism.
	It's these people that are maybe mentally defective, extremely online.
	I think there's like a real problem there.
	And I don't doubt that sometimes these people are involved with maybe a foreign government or they're being groomed or put up to it by an operative.
	But I think to assume that it's always that ignores that like there's a very real problem of nihilistic surrealist violence that comes from young people.
	And, you know, like this guy killed, it's a triple homicide out of nowhere and then he tries to kill me.
	I think he just went crazy, but I could be wrong.
	Oh, oh, off-brand.
	Charlie Kirk.
	Oh, no.
	Very good, Nick Quintes.
	I like that.
	Like, no, these are just kids who've been, who've been psyoped and gone nuts by Discord and social media and drugs.
	I like the use of his term extremely online.
	Yeah, did you hear that in there?
	Yeah, that's almost a show title.
	These kids are extremely online.
	I've heard extremely online.
	Wow.
	And I think I heard that somewhere else, actually.
	Extremely.
	Yeah, it may be kind of.
	It's an interesting term because it's not really it's something it's so strange.
	It doesn't really make sense.
	It's almost a non-secular.
	That use of that word annoys a couple of our grammarians.
	What, non-sequitur?
	Yeah, I've gotten some notes on our use of the term.
	Maybe you're not, we're misusing it in some screwball way.
	Oh, what is the correct usage of non-sequitur?
	It means something that non-sequitur is a sentence that within itself doesn't make sense in the broadest definition.
	But it's very specific if you're one of these ant fuckers that are out there that listen to our show.
	They went into some good stuff about Extremely Online, about porn.
	It was funny.
	Tucker's like, what even is online porn?
	Like, what?
	What?
	You know, it leads you to transgenderism.
	And Fuentes had.
	I didn't clip that, but it's worth listening to.
	It was, you know, considering how they've spoken about each other in their own shows.
	It was like, okay, there was no fireworks.
	It was like the Mutual Admiration Club.
	It's interesting.
	Yeah, you run into that.
	In the overnight, Europe is slowly deteriorating and falling.
	This was unexpected, even by my stand, even by the polling standards.
	The big winner of this Dutch election is 38-year-old Rob Yetten with his center-left party D66.
	A pro-European, his popularity skyrocketed in the final stretch of the election.
	His message was full of optimism, and his strong media presence resonated with the Dutch people.
	This is an historic election result because we've shown not only to the Netherlands, but also to the world that it is possible to beat populist and extreme right movements.
	And I'm very eager to cooperate with other parties.
	The campaign focused mainly on immigration and the housing crisis, which particularly affects young people in this densely populated country.
	It's a disappointing night for the far-right leader who topped the polls in 2023.
	It is a significant loss, but we are still a large party.
	I'm sure we can find a way up next time.
	It was Gerd Wilders himself who triggered these early elections.
	He withdrew his party from a fragile four-party coalition for not being tough enough on immigration, which brought down the outgoing government.
	His score in this election is being closely scrutinized across Europe and serves as a barometer of the strength of the far right across the continent.
	The far right, the far right is crashing and burning.
	I think Eva Flardingerbrüek had the best analysis.
	The blondie.
	You know, I could never pronounce her name.
	Flardingebruck, yeah, I know.
	It's changing.
	You should change her name to some Hollywood-style name.
	Yes, let's say Eva Jones.
	No, that's not Hollywood.
	Well, Eva Smith.
	Eva Smith would be good.
	Eva Eden.
	There you go.
	Eva Eden.
	Yeah.
	Brings up Garden of Eden, Eve, Eva Eden.
	That would be perfect.
	That's a good Hollywood name.
	Call Brunetti.
	Eva Eden.
	I have a problem with the way it runs.
	I don't think it flows as well as Eva St. How about Eva St. James?
	Well, I like the idea of slipping the same name in there if you're going to do a fake name because that makes a person look better than they are in some subconscious way.
	I like it.
	Here's what Eva St. James said.
	She said, oh, that's Dutch.
	Ugh.
	This means more mass migration, more replacement, more climate regulations, more censorship, more EU, more gender madness.
	And Rob Yeten, a woke, openly gay champagne socialist, will most likely become the country's prime minister.
	They forgot to mention that in the report, that he's a gay champagne socialist.
	I like champagne socialism.
	This is a great show.
	Another show title.
	Yes, that is a good show.
	Well, I think that should bring us to this woman, Naomi.
	Which one?
	She's a German girl who set up a lot of, she's very famous in Germany.
	And she's, this is Naomi Siebert or Selb.
	I can't even pronounce her last name.
	But she is a big supporter of AFD in Germany, and she is asking for asylum in the United States.
	Bring her on in.
	She's welcome right away.
	No problem.
	My name is Naomi Zeibt.
	Sorry.
	I have two clips.
	I was on cue, just so you know.
	My name is Naomi Zeibt, and I am the first European to seek asylum in the United States of America under President Trump's new proposal for a refugee mandate because I am facing persecution in my home country, Germany, for my political views, for my support for the AFD party, the only opposition party in Germany, and most importantly, for my advocacy for free speech.
	I have become the target of severe government and intelligence surveillance and harassment.
	My communications have been intercepted.
	And my family has been stalked by reporters for the state media for whom we pay taxes.
	And I continue to receive death threats from Antifa.
	Before we continue, the troll room has an important question for you.
	The question is, is she hot?
	She is a, this is interesting.
	She's got a look that's very distinctive German, but it's a it's not the American style of hot, but I think I think she's a German style.
	Give her a number.
	I give her an 859.
	Wow.
	Oh, that's a good question.
	But that's from Europe.
	If I was a European.
	What she's missing for Americans is she doesn't have that big million-dollar smile.
	Oh, that's too bad.
	Well, let me show you.
	She's got kind of a small, that old-fashioned small doll mouth.
	So she looks like a German doll.
	She goes.
	Oh, I see.
	Oh, she's seeped.
	Oh, she looks a bit like Avril Levine in her younger years, only with blonde hair.
	And by the way, it's offensive to a lot of people out there that we talk like this.
	No, no, this is.
	But we're doing this as media executives, which is what we are.
	Yes, we need to determine, does she have legs?
	I don't know.
	I didn't see her legs.
	Does she have legs in the media?
	She is the alter ego to Greta Thunberg, I would say.
	Well, that's where she got her reputation.
	Ah, okay.
	Let's continue.
	When I asked the police for help in the past about these death threats, they did not offer me help because physical harm had not occurred yet.
	President Trump has correctly identified Antifa as a terrorist organization.
	But meanwhile, the German government silently condone these attacks on their own citizens as if they are soldiers for their agenda.
	This year, I helped arrange the viral ex-life conversation between Elon Musk and AFD leader Alice Weidel, which I'm sure many of you have seen as it drew international media coverage.
	While Europe is becoming a breeding ground for tyranny, America still treats the right to free speech as sacred.
	And thank God for that.
	In Germany, it is illegal under paragraph 188, which was extended under former Chancellor Angela Merkel, to insult or damage the reputation of a politician.
	I will not apologize for violating their legal special protection because in a democracy, politicians must tolerate criticism.
	She's kind of the German Eva St. James.
	Wouldn't you say?
	Yeah, I guess.
	Yeah.
	That's good.
	I like her rap.
	She's got clear diction.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she's very, she's like that Dutch girl.
	The Dutch girl is she has a funny style that I've always been kind of fascinated with.
	The Dutch girl, I think, is a little colder.
	She's casting it.
	In a Dutch way, that kind of neutral style of presentation.
	Yes, I was just saying.
	I would call it matter of fact.
	Yeah.
	This girl's got a little more emotion underneath it.
	She's slightly irked, but she's doing this sincerely.
	So, yeah, well, you got another clip here.
	This is good.
	The reason why the German government and intelligence gained an interest in me is because I was the very first young English-speaking influencer to openly align with the AFD party, right-of-center political views, and most importantly, I supported President Trump since he came down the golden escalator in 2015 and announced that he was running for president.
	Trump's election victory was a crack in the matrix that terrified globalist tyrants.
	And now I am the bridge between Germany and the MAGA movement, which the European Union desperately wants to burn.
	You may remember me from 2020 when I appeared on Fox and on the front page of the Washington Post and became internationally recognized as the anti-Greta Thunberg.
	Yeah, the German skeptic.
	Now I am a representative for Deutschland Korea, Germany's leading alternative media outlet, whose editor-in-chief, David Bendels, received a seven-month probation sentence earlier this year because he posted a meme mocking the interior minister's hatred of free speech.
	Quite ironic, if you ask me.
	This is why I started working with them, because I stand in solidarity with his admirable courage.
	I am publicly sharing my asylum request now as President Trump has announced new refugee priorities, including Europeans who have been targeted for their peaceful expression of views online, such as opposition to mass migration and support for populist parties, according to the New York Times.
	But if you think I ran away cowardly and abandoned my homeland, you would be mistaken.
	This is only the beginning.
	I am seeking protection under the United States government to expose the truth about the tyranny of Germany and the European Union, who have made the MAGA administration their enemies.
	And I encourage everybody in Europe to stand up for what MAGA represents and turn it into mega.
	Let's fight, fight, fight.
	Wow.
	I think I propose a prisoner swap.
	We'll take Naomi and we'll give you...
	We'll give you David Hasselhoff.
	I think that's a fair swap.
	They'd take David Hassel.
	They love him.
	They love him.
	They love the Hoff.
	You know, in a way, she reminds me more of Ancilla.
	Like a German Ancilla.
	Oh yeah, she's got, you might be right there, yeah.
	Ancilla.
	I think Ancilla is running for, I don't know, I wonder how she did.
	I think they set up some political party.
	I don't know if they got any votes or not.
	Any seats?
	Any seats?
	Well, these women, these European women, those three that you mentioned.
	Yeah.
	They're very, they're like, they're like scorned.
	And they have a they're just very out to do damage.
	They're irked.
	But they're not doing it in a shouting, crazy, nutty way like the liberal American liberal woman.
	They're doing it pretty, I would say, calmly.
	Yeah, that's a good catch.
	I had not heard of her.
	But I think she totally should have asylum here.
	Yeah, she'll get it.
	We'll set her up with a podcast rig.
	She'll be good to go.
	Help her, become a podcaster.
	She could probably talk for days.
	Happy to do it.
	Happy to do it.
	Absolutely.
	Ah, let's see.
	Well, there's a lot of interesting things happening around the world.
	Although if you watch the M5M, you wouldn't know too much about it.
	You know, this, first of all, our president went to Malaysia and was welcomed by the YMCA song, and he danced to it.
	Yes, that made me proud to be in America.
	It was the funniest.
	He was dancing the whole time, except when he was in Korea.
	And I have some comments about that because I have the Korea, what happened in Korea clip.
	Yeah, yeah, let's do that.
	Let's do the Korea clip.
	With a follow-up.
	I'm looking.
	Maybe Trump, I think at the bottom, Trump.
	Trump-Korea deal.
	Here we go.
	The U.S. and South Korea affirmed Seoul investing $350 billion into the U.S. They've been negotiating for months on the details of their trade agreement, including how the money would be distributed.
	All the details of the agreement are yet to be released, but $150 billion of the investment will go towards revitalizing U.S. shipbuilding.
	Tariffs on South Korean goods will also be lowered from 25 to 15%.
	Trump met South Korea's president separately and as part of a formal dinner with heads of states of other countries.
	At the table was also Canada's prime minister, Mark Carney, who Trump has been upset with recently over tariff negotiations.
	Carney barely made it in any of the reports.
	They all kind of like pushed him away.
	Well, he wasn't making a lot of noise either.
	No, nor should he.
	So I have to plug Chanel Rhion.
	That's Korean.
	Yes.
	Oh, is she Korean?
	Yeah, she's half Korean-American, Korean-American.
	Interesting.
	But she's Korean.
	She sees herself as Korean when she does reporting on Korea.
	She did a thing, and I want to plug my the real Dvorak Twitter account.
	Maybe I can get some numbers back up.
	I heard on the DH Unplug, when you do that, your numbers go down.
	Yes, I think because I think I'm not paying.
	You're a non-paying blue child.
	I'm pretty sure that and other things.
	But I retweeted that she I would have clipped it, but it was a little too long.
	It was too in deep.
	It was too detailed.
	She did a, I've never heard anyone else do this, analyze the Korea meeting that Trump had with Lee.
	She hates Lee.
	She says he's a stooge of the, of the, of Xi in China.
	He's a communist.
	He's no good.
	And everything that happened there, they didn't give him a good anything close to what would be a high-end reception, according to her.
	And she says that crown that they gave him wasn't some sort of a gag or a joke or a reference.
	That crown that they gave him is the crown you put in graves.
	No, no way.
	Yeah, she says that particular crown is put in tombs with the dead.
	Wow.
	That is.
	She says everyone in Korea knows this and everyone in Korea hates this guy, Lee, who's running the place.
	And they love Trump, according to her.
	They love Trump and they hate Lee and they all know that this was a major insult.
	And then they have the meeting, she continues, and then they have the meeting with Xi, not in China or in any place cool, but in the Busan airport, a lousy venue was a further insult.
	The entire event in Korea was one insult after another, and she documented them all.
	Wow.
	And I retweeted it.
	I've never heard this anymore.
	No, you have video of her saying that?
	If you go to Twitter, she posted it.
	It's a Twitter team.
	But you blocked me, so I can't see you.
	I didn't block you.
	Bull crap.
	Maybe from the email, but no, not from Twitter.
	That is a great piece of analysis.
	And everywhere, all you heard in all media mainstream and alternative here is, look, he gave Trump the king, the crown, the crown, the golden crown, and it turns out to be an insult.
	Like, you're a dead man to us.
	Holy crap.
	Yeah.
	Only on your no agenda show, people.
	Wow.
	And unbelievable.
	And one American News, apparently.
	If you can find it.
	One American News.
	She writes her own material.
	I did.
	That's good.
	I found that out over time, and she's pretty good.
	I did get the translated opening remarks from Xi in the meeting, which everybody was there, two sides of the table.
	And this was at the airport.
	Is that what you're saying?
	This Xi meeting was at the airport.
	The Busan airport.
	That's crazy.
	Well, it was good, though.
	Mr. President, you care a lot about world peace, and you're very enthusiastic about settling various regional hotspot issues.
	I appreciate your great contribution to the recent conclusion of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
	During your visit to Malaysia, you witnessed the signing of the Joint Declaration on Peace along the Cambodia-Thailand border, to which you had provided input.
	China's been helping our own way, Cambodia and Thailand, properly settle their border disputes.
	And we have also been promoting peace talks to resolve other hotspot issues.
	Hotspots, lots of hotspots that Xi was talking about.
	But then he kind of solidifies a bit of the arc, the way I see it.
	America, Russia, China.
	He's like, hey, you know, we're kind of buddies.
	You know, we have our differences, but we can work it all out.
	We're doing stuff.
	We've been in contact.
	We're close.
	We're not, you know, like, we're not doing no sleepovers, but we're hanging in there together.
	And it's very warm seeing you again because it's been many years.
	Since your re-election, we have spoken on the phone three times, exchanged several letters, and stayed in close contact.
	Under our joint guidance, China-U.S.
	relations have remained stable on the whole.
	Given our different national conditions, we do not always see eye to eye with each other.
	And it is normal for the two leading economies of the world to have frictions now and then.
	And in the face of winds, waves, and challenges, you and I, at the helm of China-U.S.
	relations, should stay the right course and ensure the steady sailing forward of the giant ship of China-U.S.
	relations.
	I always believe that China's development goes hand in hand with your vision to make America great again.
	Our two countries are fully able to help each other succeed and prosper together.
	Over the years, I have stated in public many times that China and the United States should be partners and friends.
	This is what history has taught us and what reality demands.
	A few days ago, in the latest round of consultation, our two economic and trade teams reached basic consensus on addressing our respective major concerns and made encouraging progress.
	That sounds good to me.
	Doesn't sound like we're about to go to war in 2027.
	Unless it's some kind of setup over Taiwan.
	Well, it could be bull crap.
	And also, Chinese are notorious for understatement.
	So you don't know what they're really saying.
	Well, yeah, I guess.
	And you know, because you can't say anything nasty.
	And let's just see if a soybean deal goes through.
	Scott Bessant will be happy.
	At least that will be a start.
	Well, the soybean deal is like 180,000 tons or something.
	That's nothing like the millions of tons they used to take from us.
	It's not a huge deal.
	It's just a start.
	But we have a because the soybean thing is important to this our farm.
	It's a symbolic gesture for our farmers because they get irked by the fact that they got cut out of the deal.
	And they're not bringing the soybeans in anymore.
	Did you know that Besant is a soybean farmer?
	Yes.
	I didn't came up in the conversation, I think, on DH Unplugged.
	I'd like a little, here's the clip of him saying it.
	The president has also said he does want our farmers to be taken care of.
	You did mention that.
	China has been boycotting American soybeans, and American farmers have really suffered.
	Do you see a real light at the end of the tunnel there that may allow soybeans again?
	Well, Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too.
	And there are a couple of things happening here.
	One.
	What?
	He owns, he's got a hedge fund or something that he is part of has a soybean holdings.
	So thus.
	Okay.
	So I can say, you know, I own Apple stock, so I'm an iPhone engineer.
	Is that it?
	Well, you can't say you're an iPhone engineer, but you can say you're an iPhone farmer.
	Let's put it in this.
	Let's try to make that work.
	Okay.
	You own AppleSock, so you can say, I make phones.
	So I understand how this works.
	I make phones.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm in AI.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, so along these lines, I got to go to the neighbor.
	So the neighbor down the road, Laura, Laura Logan.
	Is this a bad neighbor?
	She's given us no updates.
	And by the way, I'm irked by this.
	Well, because there is no, we're in limbo.
	We're in limbo right now.
	There's been no updates.
	There's nothing.
	The text group has gone quiet.
	Although Claudia next door, she's from the Dominican Republic.
	She's some next door.
	Yeah, she's next door.
	She's owned like two acres.
	Claudia is next to me next door.
	It's not like you're in the middle of the day.
	So I'm walking Phoebe, and she has this little rat dog called Fifi.
	And then some other like sausage dog.
	The little dog's called Feces?
	Yes, Feces.
	It is now.
	The little dog called Feces.
	And she's walking with her boyfriend, Japanese-American veteran, and he has a hot little sausage dog.
	And so I'm walking Phoebe.
	Hey, Adam, how you doing?
	Like, hey, hey, Claudia.
	And she's, what's up with these children over there?
	They're going too fast.
	They're driving around.
	And I told her, well, you know, we're talking about the HO.
	She's, that's good.
	Because I'm a Dominican Republic here, and it makes me a, what's she called?
	Carmen.
	I'm a Carmen.
	Be careful.
	I'm all about it.
	So that's the only update I have.
	More coming, I'm sure.
	This is going to come to a head.
	We have the Dominican.
	We have a Carmen in the neighborhood.
	Everyone needs a good Carmen.
	And she needs to be on our side, which I like.
	So, no, the other neighbor, Laura Logan, down the street, she has going rogue with Laura Logan.
	She finally doesn't have no agenda in her name in their show name.
	So that's good.
	And she went to Moscow to interview Kirill Dmitriev, which is kind of funny because the guy's been in the US.
	Well, that's a good question.
	I don't know.
	I suspect it's what I think is happening is that there's money from General Flynn's nonprofit.
	Okay, we'll just assume Flynn Center.
	I'm going to think Flynn Center and probably to set up an interview with Putin.
	But that did.
	Her and Putin?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Putin would go for that.
	Well, it didn't happen this time.
	So they gave her Kirill Dmitriev, who is.
	He was the clearing guy.
	He's going to say, yeah, she'll be good.
	You'll like her.
	She's pretty.
	I think.
	Gaboomba.
	You like her?
	Vladimir Kaboomba, you like her.
	And as an aside, as a media executive, the red lipstick she had on was just that, you know, two shades of red, too red.
	You know what I mean?
	It's just sometimes if you're an English.
	Can there be red lipstick that's too red?
	Or is it a darker shade that just looked good?
	It was too, you know, like red.
	You know, she's a white face, and boing, these lips pop out.
	Yeah, that has to be done with a, yeah, you have to do it.
	You need to tone it down.
	You need a pro.
	She should have brought on makeup artists.
	I think it's pretty low budget, these things, but they had a hotel room set up and everything.
	How low budget can it be?
	You're flying to Moscow.
	Well, I don't know.
	Because my buddy Luke was supposed to go, but his visa got, I mean, he's a J6er, so he had all kinds of visa problems.
	You're a terrorist.
	No, I'm not.
	Look, I got pardoned.
	Let me in.
	So he didn't go.
	So I'm not sure who went.
	But I'll get details from Luke.
	But the funny thing is, Kirill Dmitriev, she gets back, and this guy's here in America doing interviews everywhere.
	Like, you didn't need to go to Moscow, but she did.
	And so he is Steve Witkoff's counterpart.
	Well, you know, you should talk, get together with her and find out, because I would like to know right now what Moscow is like.
	Is it bustling?
	I get the sense that it is.
	Oh, I think it's very colorful and bustling.
	I'm sure it is.
	Well, it's only 45 minutes.
	So if you want to listen to it or watch it, it's out there.
	Rogue on the road, everybody.
	And so I got three clips from it.
	The first one, a little long, but this is Kirill delivering the message in multiple ways, hitting Christianity, hitting trans Maoism, all of this stuff, saying you got to, and something that we both believe and know to be true, that Americans and Russians are very, very similar.
	Even when it's the USSR, very similar, you know, nationalistic.
	They just ought to drink us.
	Big time.
	Let me go back to how traditional values and other things unite us.
	Because President Putin has started talking about focus on traditional values, not this year, not five years ago, but when he really became president.
	So for more than 20 years ago, he's been focused on really making sure that, you know, it's not a vogue world.
	It's a world where there is a man and a woman, a focus on the family, on Christian values.
	And I think that is very, very important.
	And he was calling out the fakeness of the Vogue narrative for a long time.
	And by the way, just as President Trump.
	And by the way, I laughed.
	I reposted one of your posts.
	We had this vocal vocabulary.
	People saying what they really mean.
	So I think the honesty and being straightforward, you know, not political correctness, but calling things the way they are is important.
	I would give another, I think, very poignant example of Charlie Kirk.
	So Charlie Kirk really resonated with the Russian people.
	And when this horrible tragedy happened, not only President Putin gave condolences, but Russian church actually did an article recognizing Charlie King's Kirk's contribution.
	Did you hear anything about Putin's condolences?
	I don't remember that.
	I don't either.
	Why would we?
	To Christianity.
	So who's going to tell us?
	Exactly.
	So they see him not only as somebody who is an advocate of family, not only at Bakat on campuses, but really as a religious sort of thinker, a contemporary religious thinker.
	It's interesting because of course under Marxism there is no room for religion.
	I mean Karl Marx did not.
	He was a denialist when it came to God.
	Yeah, but Russia is actually quite a religious country.
	So if you go and I hope you can go to our Orthodox churches, etc., it's a very religious country and very much focused on values.
	So in reality, we see view the world very similarly, where we see, for example, immigration in Europe and what Biden tried to do in the US as crazy.
	You know, I actually have a theory about this.
	I believe that Biden...
	Listen, now, it's as if he talked to you before the interview.
	Here's his theory.
	When I saw, I heard this, I'm like, wow, John needs to hear this.
	It's crazy.
	You know, I actually have a theory about this.
	I believe that Biden wanted Democrats to stay in power forever.
	So what he did, he figured out immigrants, criminals, and transgender, they were Democrats.
	So then he increased the number of criminals.
	He increased the number of immigrants.
	And there was a huge transgender spike, which is, by the way, now coming down, turned to normalcy during his era.
	Turned to reality.
	All of that was to stay in power.
	All of those things that Russia is tough on, and Europe is not tough on.
	So I think another thing we see is, for example, Europe with allowing illegal immigration, with allowing lots of vocal policy.
	J.D. Van said it's basically suicide of European civilization.
	And we also see it very similarly.
	So to summarize, I think we all care about our families.
	We all care about the education of our children.
	We all care about having a good economy, good growth, and we are much more similar.
	And what happened during the Biden administration, and actually started with Obama, RussiaGate, is that RussiaGate tried to vilify.
	President Trump tried to vilify Russia.
	And from that time, Russia became like really bad, bad, bad.
	And the people in the U.S. more and more conservatives understand that those were fake, not true narratives.
	All right, so he's clearly saying, hey, you know, like we're kind of the same.
	We got the guy, we got a president who thinks the same, he was doing all the same.
	And then he blew my mind with a setup from Logan about the North Sea Nexus and the Brits.
	But do you think there's an irony that a lot of this woke ideology comes out of cultural Marxism?
	Well, again, I don't frankly go that deeply because you can all tie it.
	And Marxism came from Europe.
	And by the way, you know, Marx didn't like Russia so much.
	Well, Marx was hired by Henry Rothschild to create a system of social control and paid by the British.
	But okay, going back to British, you know, British, I believe, are incredibly aggressive to instill different things worldwide.
	They're suffering from loss of immigration, from digital ID they now try to implement, which is really a way to control people.
	And I think it's insanity.
	It is insanity.
	You know, Prime Minister Starmer is the least popular prime minister in the history of Great Britain.
	I had to mention on Twitter that his great speech when President Trump called him in Egypt and pretended to give him a word and then said, no, go back, and he didn't even get to speak.
	So I think you have really the issue with Britain, some European countries.
	And by the way, we love European people and British people.
	But they've been taken over by aggressive politicians who really try to control their societies and who try to hide the problems of those societies, but by making Russia a victim and who work a lot by basically not a victim, but making Russia bad and working a lot to really undermine any discussion we may have with the US.
	That is a big fear for many of the forces in the UK and the liberal forces in Europe, that Russia and US would actually have a good vote.
	Ah, so this.
	This guy's good.
	And then the last clip, which is short, where before you go.
	Can I interrupt?
	Of course.
	Since he brought up digital ID?
	Yes.
	David Icke made some commentary.
	David Icke, okay.
	Yeah.
	On digital ID.
	I thought we should.
	It's been a while since we've had Ike on the show.
	I've had this clip for two or three shows.
	I can't get it in.
	Well, here, I have this moment.
	Here we go.
	Digital ID.
	David Icke, everybody.
	This is the door closing that's not intended to be opened again.
	And the idea is everything you do, I mean everything eventually, you will need a digital ID.
	And your digital ID will be connected to a digital currency.
	If you want to see what's planned for the West tomorrow, then look at China today.
	Where if you are not behaving in a way that the government wants you to behave, then you lose credits and their social credit system.
	And if you lose enough, you can't go on a plane.
	You can't go on a train.
	Basically, take part in mainstream society.
	You are excluded.
	This is a global agenda.
	This is not about Keir Starmer.
	He's a gopher.
	It's not about Donald Trump.
	He's a gopher.
	And they're gophers for this global network that I call the global cult.
	And the idea is to eventually have a world government, which won't be elected, purely appointed technocrats, bureaucrats, that will oversee this AI digital system.
	And you won't be able to go anywhere in the world without this system is tracking you.
	Here we are now looking at this line in the sand.
	And if we allow it to be crossed, it's going to be very, very difficult to push back.
	And that's why it's so vital that the people of, well, this country, but all countries realize the scale of freedom deletion, this digital ID is a massive step towards and fundamental to the deletion of freedom.
	So I agree with Ike that this is the plan.
	I disagree that Trump is some stoo in the plan if he has the right people explaining the technology to him.
	I think, and I believe he does.
	I don't think he'll let that happen.
	This is the globalist dream, no doubt about it.
	And I didn't clip it, but Dmitriev said, he said, you know, digital ID in China, he says, they're open and transparent about it.
	They haven't tricked their people into it.
	And it's been very successful for them, how they control their billion people.
	He says, unlike the UK, where they're bringing it in on the sly and they're going to capture their people without being honest about it.
	And I thought that was an interesting observation that, you know, China, I guess the people of China, they like it.
	Yeah.
	I'm not sure that's true.
	He may have been doing that.
	That commentary may have been part of a fear of China.
	Possibly.
	Possibly.
	Because there's a number of YouTube videos out there showing the homeless in China who have been kicked to the curb by the social.
	They should have followed the rules.
	What's wrong with you?
	Exactly.
	What's wrong with you?
	They should have followed the rules.
	What were they doing?
	What were they thinking?
	What were you thinking?
	Follow the rules.
	You're homeless.
	Hello.
	That's how it works in China.
	Yeah.
	But this has been Ike's thing forever.
	I mean, what gets me is like, oh, Bitcoin is a part of this and the blockchain.
	Like, no, no, it's not.
	That's where he loses me just because these documents.
	Well, he didn't say that in that clip.
	Not in that clip, but I've heard him.
	I follow Ike.
	I'm, you know, ever since the reptilians.
	I've been on board.
	Well, yeah, once he came up with that, he was gold.
	He's podcast gold, I tell you.
	So then the final clip from Kirill Dmitriev.
	He brings up the tunnel.
	And by the way, President Putin also mentioned that in Arctic, we would love to have U.S. companies participate in our oil fields, in our gas fields.
	Well, there's cooperation in the International Space Station.
	Yes, and by the way, yesterday I tweeted about maybe we should have a tunnel connecting U.S. and Russia.
	And with Ellen Musk's boring company, the tunnel can cost only $8 billion.
	And the original price was $36 billion.
	Wow.
	So we have modern technologies that can really unite us.
	And yes, of course, we also have to be cognizant that many people in the U.S. don't want Russia to get close.
	They have interest in, you know, basically weapons sector and other sector.
	But I think at least having dialogue, at least having better understanding of one another is definitely in the interest to avoid security risks worldwide.
	The tunnel.
	I love it.
	We need a name for this tunnel.
	We need a name.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Russia, the United States, Russia, Alaska is where it goes the runner, the funnel.
	The funnel.
	I like the funnel tunnel.
	Just call it the funnel.
	That's good.
	So since we bring up globalists here, globalist number one who is trying to get back on the stage, I'm not sure exactly why, other than to help Gavin Newsom's Prop 50, is Barack Obama.
	And he was at the Connecticut Forum.
	I'm not sure what that is.
	And this is his idea of the future of journalism.
	Part of what we're going to have to do is to start experimenting with new forms of journalism and how do we use social media in ways that reaffirm facts, separate facts from opinion.
	We want diversity of opinion.
	We don't want diversity of facts.
	That, I think, is one of the big tasks of social media.
	By the way, it will require some government, I believe, some government regulatory constraints around some of these business models in a way that's consistent with the First Amendment.
	Oh, yeah.
	But that also says, look, look, look, look.
	There is a difference between these platforms letting all voices be heard versus a business model that elevates the most hateful voices or the most polarizing voices or the most dangerous in the sense of inciting violence voices.
	And that, I think, is going to be a big challenge for all of us that we're going to have to undertake.
	Unbelievable.
	And luckily.
	He's putting himself into a hole there at the end.
	Oh, yeah.
	Get himself out.
	Oh, yeah.
	And luckily, we have podcastlicense.com.
	We'll have to reinstate that when it comes down to it.
	You'll have to have a license to podcast if Barack Obama has anything to do with it.
	I love how he says, you know, it's within the scope of the First Amendment, like no law, no law, Mr. President, no law, no infringement.
	I can see the logic behind podcast licenses by doing the parallel with broadcast licenses.
	Well, in that case, I'm glad you bring it up.
	If we need to be careful of the voices inciting violence, then we need licenses for cable news talking heads as well.
	They've been wanting to do that forever.
	Well, here's Nicole Wallace.
	And this is kind of a supercut, but with longer, little longer clips.
	Conversation comes up, and she's like, I've never heard anyone call Trump Hitler.
	I've never.
	Yeah, well, this has been all over Fox.
	Oh, so we shouldn't play it?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Well, it is, I think our listeners probably haven't heard it necessarily, but the compendium of people calling Trump Hitler is ridiculous.
	But even the compendiums don't even come close to the total absolute.
	If somebody Grabian or somebody put together a real super cut, they could have something very entertaining.
	But yes, she's actually said this and she's talking to Pritzker in an interview.
	And this has been, yeah, this is amplified.
	I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
	I wouldn't say that.
	I don't think any Democrat has.
	I actually, and I think it's a smear that they project back on to critics.
	What is the natural extension, Justin, if he pursues this to Harvard and beyond?
	There was an authoritarian leader several decades back to Adolf Hitler.
	Hitler came to power and the scientists left.
	The military surviving that climate.
	In the same way that it happened in Russia with Stalin, the same way it happened with Hitler, eventually you get generals and admirals that are in there that only tell the leader what he or she wants to hear.
	To the extent that the rule of law and an assault on the rule of law was an obscure intangible thing, we're now seeing it in action.
	If you look back in history, you can see very similar parallels taking place that took place in other countries that went down that authoritarian road, including in pre-World War II Nazi Germany, when Hitler and Nazi officials basically took over Frankfurt University, which was the bastion of independent thought and progressive thinking and independent thinking, which is what Hitler didn't want.
	And so, again, this is what authoritarians do.
	They try to control all of the aspects of social life.
	When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks about peace, it's autocrats getting their way.
	That's it.
	And Mussolini and Hitler said they were being the purveyors of peace.
	I resisted for a long time analogies to Hitler's Germany.
	I've got in my sub stack today, though, that it's really uncanny.
	The same episode where Hitler, early in his tenure, before he's totally taken over the government, some local prosecutors go after his brown shirts and they convict them, sends them, and then he releases them.
	It's really the same thing.
	Throwback to what?
	Throwback to what?
	Poisoning the Hitlerian verse.
	People think of what happened to us.
	The parallel here is to maybe show up on the shores and say, no, we'll go with Hitler.
	I mean, what did they think about the switching of sides with the turning of who occupies the oval office?
	Believe every voter who casts a vote, regardless of who they vote for, has to know that Donald Trump believes Hitler did some good things.
	Which is not true.
	No, I think it's time to roll out the Trump rotation just for prosperity's sake.
	I have my list, and you might want to see if there's anything I left out.
	This is the Trump rotation.
	Yeah, there's two categories: there's the regular, and then there's the criminal.
	But here we go.
	Ready?
	Liar, incompetent, unhinged, illegitimate president, white supremacist, racist, bully, immature, Russian agent, narcissist, mean, long ties, insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis, big red button, criminal, mean, racist, immature, thin-skinned, runs the mob, has no money, unstable, fatter than 239 pounds, bankrupt.
	25th Amendment should be instituted.
	He hates women, misogynist, holds grudges forever, plays golf a lot, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and clown.
	John, no wonder we're making America white again.
	And just to add this on, PBS, Washington Week, PBS, PBS, PBS, the people's public broadcast system, funded by viewers like you.
	Here's how they opened up this week's Washington Week.
	Good evening, and welcome to Washington Week.
	I want to start with an apology.
	We pride ourselves here on our accuracy, but we realized very late in the day that our backdrop is no longer correct because it still features the East Wing of the White House.
	Let me show you where it used to be.
	So, this right here, that was the East Wing.
	Now it's a hole.
	That's just a hole.
	And that's the White House.
	Over here, that's the West Wing that's still standing as far as far as we know, although I'm not there right now to prove it.
	Back here, you got the Empire State Building.
	And over there, that's LAX.
	And also, we have a cold front moving in from Ohio.
	So break out your sweaters.
	Anyway, we'll fix the picture to reflect the new reality once Congress restores our funding.
	The list I read at the top of the show has been all of the norm-busting news from this week.
	Tonight, our overall subject is impunity.
	How does a president get to knock down the East Wing?
	Is that even legal?
	By what authority does he do the things he does?
	Do the things he does.
	He's a king.
	You can't have that.
	It's no good.
	Well, you have to.
	After that, that's hard to beat.
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day for coming up with that.
	Wow.
	I know.
	Wow.
	What assholes.
	So they're no better than this TikTok clip of the ballroom girl.
	By the way, that goes to Clip Custodian.
	I just learned that I don't get to eat this month.
	I don't get my food stamps this month because a motherfucker in the White House, an orange motherfucker in the White House, wants a ballroom for $3 billion.
	I don't get to eat.
	$3 billion.
	What?
	My government is supposed to help me, not hurt me.
	Why is it hurting me?
	Why is it taking the money that we have paid into it to give us a ballroom?
	We don't have a king.
	Kings need balls.
	We don't.
	We're the citizens.
	We're public citizens.
	Why do we need a ballroom?
	We're not invited.
	That's a king's room.
	We don't need that.
	I need my food stamps.
	I need my food stamps or something's going to happen.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this, you know, we've moved this from government workers not getting paid to This is Chuck Schumer with his, I have to say, wonderful alliteration.
	He had to look at his paper continuously to get it all out, but he had the P's, he had the C's, and the Western.
	The Schumer rant, yeah.
	So, Trump is weaponizing.
	By the way, he's in a they had they definitely did a good job of finding a bucket to put the mic in.
	It's not that bad, it's not that bad.
	This clip is better.
	Well, the version I have, I think, is bad.
	Do you have a version with you?
	It's called, yeah, it's on the clip list.
	It's a Schumer in a bucket.
	Oh, no, it's the same length, it's the same as mine.
	Well, let me hear your bucket.
	I don't, I didn't have a bucket.
	The Republican leadership thanked essential workers who are still on the job without pay.
	They pointed out that the largest union of federal workers is that's shutdown bladder.
	I'm saying Schumer.
	Schumer, here we go.
	Oh, no.
	On Saturday, for the first time in American history, a vicious, heartless president is cutting off food stamps to hungry children, elderly who can't afford enough food.
	Yeah, I have a better version of it.
	It's okay.
	Veterans who are down on their luck, all because he wants to use them as hostages so that Democrats will stop fighting for people's health care.
	We can do both: provide better health care and provide SNAP benefits to the tens of millions who need it.
	This president is a fucking liar.
	He says there's no money to provide food stamps because of the shutdown.
	That's bullshit.
	His own agriculture department said there's plenty of money.
	Every president during shutdowns has provided the money that's needed.
	Even Trump in his first term, he is bludgeoning the American people, using the most innocent of victims to try and go along with his cruel shutdown, which takes away health care for millions of Americans.
	He is the most vindictive politician America has ever seen and the most heartless man America has ever seen in the presidency.
	We're fighting him every step of the way.
	So that wasn't AI.
	That had to be AI.
	No.
	He really said that?
	Yeah.
	Oh, no, I have something completely different.
	This is the posted on his Twitter account.
	Wow.
	What a douche.
	Oh, he's a total douche.
	The guy's out of control.
	He's losing numbers.
	That guy, that crazy guy on CNN who does all the stats, international or whatever.
	Democrats.
	They've lost.
	They're getting to the point where they're going to lose the midterms big time if this keeps up.
	And because people aren't buying the story that the Democrats aren't the ones holding the country hostage.
	Yeah, so there's the troll saying, Your government is prioritizing Israel over you.
	Oh, you're so weak, bro.
	Okay.
	That is exactly what the Democrats want you to say.
	Good job.
	Here's the alliteration clip.
	So Trump is weaponizing hunger.
	He's turning millions of children and seniors and veterans into political pawns.
	He's choosing politics over people, cruelty over compassion.
	And let's be clear about this.
	They've been on a crusade.
	The Republicans have been on a crusade against SNAP all year.
	They slashed it by $200 billion this summer to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires.
	I love the politics over people.
	Something over compassion.
	Cruelty over compassion.
	Yeah.
	That's good.
	That's really good.
	Yeah, and he's got they had to bring this tax cut for billionaires.
	And it's bullcrap.
	So there's a lot of, I mean, this 50 hours of video of going on and on the oversight committee about the autopen, which is, they just put up all the depositions, and each one is four hours long, and they've got everybody in there.
	They are really going balls to the wall on the autopen.
	Here's the stuff that was.
	Well, mainly on the pardons.
	That's what they're really going for here.
	The House Oversight Committee is calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to take a closer look at the presidential pardons the Biden White House issued via Autopen.
	According to a letter, a 93-page report set by the Republican-led committee, there was a, quote, cover-up of the president's cognitive decline.
	The bottom line, they are alleging that Biden didn't make all those clemency decisions on his own.
	Biden has disputed that publicly, saying those claims against him are lies.
	During his time in office, Biden issued more than 4,200 pardons or commutations, the most for any previous president.
	So they cornered Hawley in the Hawley in the hall, Hawley in the hall, and was a constitutional lawyer.
	What is your opinion on all of this?
	The House Oversight Committee released its report on the Biden Auto Pen investigation this morning.
	Basically, the gist of it says, you know, these actions that were taken with the auto pen should not be considered valid unless there's concrete evidence it was Biden who was directing this use.
	Do you agree with that?
	And what is the implication going forward if some of these pardons might not have been valid?
	Huge implications.
	I mean, huge implications.
	And what it would mean most immediately is folks who would otherwise be prosecuted.
	I mean, the effect of the pardon, of course, is you can't be prosecuted.
	Folks who otherwise could be prosecuted.
	I mean, you may see subpoenas start issuing.
	You may see prosecutors say, well, listen, I mean, if there's no longer a blanket of amnesty over these folks, then we're going to go after him.
	I mean, he pardoned a lot of people.
	He pardoned folks who are accused of child-related crimes, folks who are accused of violent crimes.
	So if I'm a prosecutor, and I was one for several years, I mean, I'd look at that and say, hey, I'd like to get these people back into court.
	So I think that may be the amazing thing.
	Do you really think they're now in void, these pardons?
	I mean, I'm concerned about it for the reasons just outlined.
	I mean, it seems to me, listen, the pardon power, it's an extraordinary power, Mono.
	There are guidelines, both in the White House rules and I think in statute, although you might have to check me on that, about how the pardon power is used and how the auto pen is used.
	There's no doubt the president can pardon pretty much whomever he chooses.
	But there's a real question as what does it mean for the president to direct it?
	If you have a situation, this is unprecedented in our history, where you have real questions as to whether the president actually approved of the pardons that were signed off in his name.
	That's a major constitutional issue.
	And this may get sorted out of court because what would happen is if a prosecutor came to somebody who's ostensibly been pardoned and said, you know what?
	I'm going to charge you.
	I'm going to subpoena you.
	I'm sure they would say, well, I have a pardon.
	And then that'll go to court.
	So we may see a lot more of this.
	I love the cynicism.
	I know you're cynical about this as well.
	No, nothing's ever going to happen.
	No one's going to jail.
	Yeah, maybe.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, because the Republicans are big talkers.
	Yeah, but they're putting this all into the DOJ with Barbie A.G.
	And she will just do whatever the president wants her to do.
	See Bolton.
	I mean, Bolton, it's serious with Bolton.
	There will be more.
	Yeah, but you have to remember this one thing that keeps being brought up when people bitch and moan about Bolton.
	The Bolton investigation began under the Biden administration.
	Fine.
	But I'm just saying through.
	There's nothing being initiated in the middle of the day.
	There are thousands of sealed indictments that you don't know about.
	10,000, by the way.
	Let's get that straight.
	And so here's Senator Grassley.
	Grassley is a kick-ass guy, but he's so old.
	He's like 92, I believe.
	He's like the oldest guy.
	He's in the area die.
	Yeah, he's getting up there.
	He's getting a little rocky.
	He's getting up there, though, and he's not going to last much longer.
	And this is about the phone taps at the Biden administration.
	This, by the way, this might trigger something because these senators are really irked about the phone taps.
	Especially Cruz.
	I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected.
	That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer cell phone for former Senator Leffler.
	ATT informed me they challenged the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts, and Smith backed down.
	Yeah, and no T-Mobile.
	No one uses T-Mobile in Congress.
	It's only Verizon.
	Well, I think, by the way, is the ATT lucked out and pushed back, and now they're the good guys of all the companies.
	That is kind of funny.
	And then, you know, Tulsi's still on the warpath.
	And when I heard this, I'm like, ah, we knew about this in 2013, 2014.
	Your no agenda show is way ahead of the curve.
	One of the most significant pieces of evidence that was revealed in that report we released yesterday is the fact that Russia claimed to have very, very damaging information, high-level DNC emails relating specifically to Hillary Clinton's physical and mental health, and DNC leaders questioning whether or not, if elected, she would even be capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency.
	Russia had this.
	If they wanted to swing the election for Donald Trump, they would have released it in September, October of 2016 at a pivotal time to swing momentum into Donald Trump's direction and damage Hillary Clinton's campaign.
	They did not do that deliberately.
	They understood that Hillary Clinton would likely be the inevitable president of the United States.
	They didn't think Trump could win like a lot of other people.
	And so they were withholding this damaging information about Hillary Clinton and planning to release it in the days or weeks leading up to her expected inauguration.
	Now, we remember what happened to Hillary Clinton that no one ever picked up.
	That was the plane crash.
	The plane crash and then the subsequent, but that was during the era, I believe the plane crash happened when she was Secretary of State, not before the election.
	No, that's what I said.
	But she's been brain damaged ever since.
	It may not even be the original Hillary Clinton.
	Oh, that's well, we have seen the double, that one double with the purse on the wrong side.
	And we do remember Hillary during some testimony where she had to wear those weird glasses that were Fresnel lenses.
	Listen to this.
	With all the circular things on them.
	Listen to this.
	This is going back to the hundreds.
	Now, Clinton resigned not long after she got out of the hospital, but Kerry was already appointed before she officially resigned.
	And I found reports dating back to 2013 that say Hillary may not make it.
	Now, we didn't know it was possibly a plane crash.
	But also, take a look at the parting gift the State Department gave her.
	They gave her a crash helmet.
	Remember that?
	I don't remember the crash.
	Yeah, they made it.
	There was a big joke when she was leaving, and they gave her a crash helmet.
	Well, because of the crash that she was obviously in that nobody wanted to report on.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah, and you're right.
	She had those wacky glasses.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	It's interesting because Tina is Tina like canary in the coal mine.
	She's like, we need something.
	Someone needs to be perp walked.
	Give us something.
	We want something.
	She wants a perp walk.
	Throw someone in jail.
	We need something.
	Well, I've been saying that too.
	I know.
	I know.
	You and Tina.
	I know.
	I know, I know, I know.
	It is what it is.
	But I don't know.
	I have a feeling that something is going to happen.
	Trump is really angry about all this.
	Yeah, I think he is too.
	So I think there's a possibility.
	Let's jump to these.
	I want to do one international piece, which has not been covered much, except NTD.
	And that is the murders in Brazil.
	If you've heard of this, and this is in the favelas.
	Oh, your favorite homestead.
	Well, this is the reason I made these clips is because I've been an advocate of favelas as a solution to the homeless problem in the United States on certain areas, especially in San Francisco on the side of the South San Francisco Hill where the big sign is, would be a perfect place to put people.
	Yes.
	Your favorite favela.
	It would be a good place for a favela.
	But the problem with favelas is that they're self-governing and they, you know, they deteriorate into being run by gangs and the gangs tend to be drug gangs and it doesn't really help the situation much.
	And you have to put the kibosh on them every so often.
	And this is what's happening now in Rio.
	Over 130 people are reported dead in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
	Police conducted their largest ever operation against organized crime gangs in the city's history.
	Entity's international correspondent Arian Pasdor is in Brazil.
	And a warning.
	This report includes footage that some viewers may find disturbing.
	A pastor is seen crying in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, a day after state authorities conducted a major police raid, the largest in the city's history.
	Around 40 bodies were seen lying on the ground, waiting to be collected on Wednesday.
	Police raided two impoverished neighborhoods in the city, also known as favelas.
	Authorities were targeting one of Brazil's narco-trafficking organizations called the Red Command or Commando Vemelio in Portuguese.
	Gangs in Brazil are in control of almost all favelas in the country.
	They use the territory to extort residents and sell drugs, weapons, stole merchandise, and more.
	In the case of Rio de Janeiro, many of the favelas are located in the heart of the city, in some cases, less than a mile from some of the country's richest neighborhoods.
	Police sometimes try to keep the criminals in check by conducting raids in the favelas, targeting the leaders of the gangs.
	However, Tuesday's operation is by far one of the largest and deadliest the country has ever seen.
	My cousin was decapitated by special force troops.
	Wow.
	He didn't have a single gunshot wound.
	They just tore off his head and left him hanging in the woods.
	Oh, you didn't warn me.
	What was the warning for?
	Well, you got to warn me when a clip like that comes up.
	And her head is gone.
	I mean, come on.
	Oh, classic.
	I didn't even think of that on the clip.
	Classic.
	Classic fight is gone.
	Yes.
	So why are they doing this?
	Well, I think they explained it a little bit in clip two.
	Now, a major criticism people often have with the police raids here in Brazil is that innocent people die during the shootout between police and the gang members.
	But officials in Rio are now saying that this wasn't the case with any of the 130 casualties during this raid.
	That's because almost none of the shooting took place in the actual favelas.
	So police knew that once they entered the favelas, the gang members are most likely going to escape through a nearby forest.
	So special forces waited in that forest and confronted the gang members there to not have the shooting in the favelas.
	It was all in the woods.
	So I don't believe anyone was just strolling in the woods on a day of conflict.
	And that's why we can easily classify them.
	And if there's any error in classification, it's certainly residual, which is insignificant.
	People outside the favela were affected as well.
	Armed gang members entered public buses, forcing the drivers to block major streets across the city.
	That's to prevent the police from getting through.
	Thousands of people report being in distress, not knowing what was happening as the city erupted in chaos.
	Now, the opinions here on the ground in Brazil regarding this raid are divided.
	Critics of the operation say that these raids never really have a significant impact.
	People die, but in a few days, drug trafficking and crime just continue.
	Supporters of these operations, on the other hand, say that, of course, police has to do something and try to keep the gangs in check at least a little bit, because if you don't, they will slowly but surely become stronger, possibly even surpassing the power of the local government.
	I'm glad you got these clips, and I'm going to give them to my neighbors and tell them that this is what happens when you start an HOA.
	You've got to be very, very careful with this stuff.
	Before you know it, your head is gone.
	I never thought of the favelas being some sort of a model for HOAs.
	That's pretty bad.
	That's pretty bad.
	Yeah, those favelas, and the funny thing is about the favelas in both Sao Paulo and Rio is that they're in the best.
	I was pointed, first time I went there, this was pointed out to me.
	They are on the primest of prime property.
	This on the side of the hill with the best view of the city.
	Yeah.
	A little technology news, because there is some.
	The first is yet Senator Hawley, Senator Hawley, along with Blumenthal, they've got some legislation that needs to be discussed.
	I'm Maria Rain.
	My son, Adam, ended his life in April after ChatGPT coached him to suicide over the course of months.
	I'm here today with my husband Matt to support this critical legislation.
	And we are so grateful to Senator Hawley and Blumenthal for your leadership and sponsoring it.
	It was only after Adam died that we learned what ChatGPT had done to him.
	And now we know that OpenAI twice downgraded its safety guardrails in the months leading up to my son's death, which we believe they did to keep people talking to ChatGBT.
	If it weren't for their choice to change a few lines of code, Adam would be alive today.
	Thank you again, senators, for pushing forth this important legislation that would make sure that dangerous chatbots are never offered to another child.
	So I got a deconstruction of this law from Rob the Constitutional Lawyer.
	Well, before you go into that, there's a bunch of these clips.
	And this woman, the ChatGPT was at the point where it was not only talking people into killing themselves, but also saying it'll write the suicide note.
	Oh, yeah.
	All of it.
	Yeah, all of it.
	And I don't see now there has been instances that, so I'm interested in what our lawyer says.
	There have been lawsuits.
	I remember there was one a couple of years ago.
	We discussed it on the show.
	It was the girl who was arrested for her boyfriend wanted to kill himself.
	She said, yeah, why don't you go ahead and sued her.
	And then he did.
	And then he did.
	And she got sued.
	And she was liable for something or other.
	The liability issue here is, to me, is over the moon insofar as the potential for deep pockets and to go after the chat GPT people.
	Hello.
	Why do you think Rob, the constitutional lawyer, is so interested?
	This is what he does.
	And that's what I'm just saying in advance.
	I don't see how these guys can hold up against what could be some tremendously fabulous lawsuits.
	Well, he says your friends at callthesuits.com are on the case.
	So if you feel you've been wrong by ChatGPT, callthesuits.com.
	The bill is called the Guard Act.
	So there's not a lot of information that was really out there.
	I mean, everyone only shows the grieving parents.
	Guidelines for User Age Verification and Responsible Dialogue Act of 2025.
	If enacted, it will force AI providers to implement, here it comes, age verification measures that use government IDs or, quote, any other commercially reasonable method to distinguish minors from adults.
	Here's your digital ID.
	The idea is to prevent minors from using certain AI functionalities, such as sex-related conversations or AI companions, to simulate interpersonal or emotional interaction, friendship, companionship, or therapeutic communication.
	That's basically what chatbots are.
	Also, under the bill, no chatbot may encourage suicide or physical injury by anyone, minors or adults.
	The bots must disclose they are not human and not licensed professionals for particulars.
	For age verification, simply entering a date of birth online will not suffice.
	The age verification would need to be periodically reviewed.
	Providers may not assume that a verified user's IP address or device is being used by that same verified user.
	Yadu.
	We'll have to take a live photo or video before each session.
	Existing accounts will be frozen until initial age verification is complete.
	Providers may use third parties to conduct this process.
	So there's our exit strategy.
	They must also disclose they are not licensed professionals such as therapists, physicians, lawyers, financial advisors, or other professionals.
	They must repeat these disclosures at regular intervals.
	I mean, this has got to be the entrance of digital ID.
	It's just a logical next.
	It's not going to get passed.
	We'll see.
	What you read as a potential bill wouldn't get passed in a million years.
	We need to put more grieving parents up there.
	That does work.
	Yeah, but how many people saw the grieving parent?
	Nobody.
	Well, we'll see.
	We'll see.
	No, that's not happening.
	Well, I mean, it's obvious that this is a problem.
	And it will be solved by somebody suing the company and making them do it on their own voluntarily, as opposed to some legislative nonsense where you have to keep verifying yourself over and over.
	I would vote against that.
	I agree.
	I think that if I was open AI, I would pay damages right away.
	They got so much money, they think.
	Whatever.
	Circular money.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they got loads.
	They got their load of, you know, it's so I'm going to NRB this year, the National Religious Broadcasters Conference.
	I'm speaking.
	And, you know, last year, Glue.com, G-L-O-O, they were like a gold sponsor.
	Now they have their own stage because they're just, they have so much, they're flush with cash.
	They can, they can sponsor conferences.
	They can get just everything, indoctrinate everybody with this, oh, fantastic AI.
	Oh, it's so great.
	And Fareed Zakaria, the anti-constitutionalist on CNN Globalist, had this.
	Does he still have a show on CNN?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	He does.
	You sure?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, for sure.
	He had on Karen Ho, and she writes for The Atlantic and Freelancer.
	But they got into artificial intelligence.
	AGI is the holy grail for today's tech elite.
	It stands for artificial general intelligence.
	And AGI will be achieved when AI is as smart as humans.
	The frenzy to get to that goal and others along the way has been responsible for a huge percent of U.S. GDP growth this year.
	But does this race make sense?
	And what are its costs?
	Journalist and author of the book Empire of AI, Karen Howe, joins me now.
	Howe?
	Empire of AI.
	You can already guess that she's against everything, of course.
	So when people talk about the U.S. economy now, it's becoming increasingly clear that what is at the heart of the U.S. economy right now is just AI.
	There's one data point that seems to suggest that spending on artificial intelligence makes up over 40% of GDP growth this year.
	Jason Foreman at Harvard says that in the last quarter, it seems like it was 90% of growth.
	This is the reason why your legislation can't get passed.
	There's no way.
	If they pull the rug on this thing, look out below.
	In the U.S. economy, it was all just AI spending.
	When you look at the scale of this spending, and what's the thing that worries you most?
	Is it the energy use?
	Because they need huge amounts of energy to make this work.
	Yeah, it is absolutely.
	The environmental fallout from this kind of scale-it-all-cost approach is astronomical.
	I mean, some of these supercomputers that are being planned, OpenAI and Meta have both planned for facilities that would be the size of Manhattan, where one of those facilities will also use as much energy as New York City.
	And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out with a report that shows that basically I've heard this twice now, that this is the second time I've heard it, that they're going to build a server farm the size of the island of Manhattan.
	Manhattan.
	Bull crap.
	Yeah, that thing in West Texas is pretty big, John.
	It's not the size of the island of Manhattan.
	How big is the island of Manhattan?
	Well, it's a lot bigger than anything you can imagine.
	To put a server farm or something like that, to get from one end of the it's ridiculous.
	Well, let's find out.
	Hey, Error, how big is the island of Manhattan?
	Actually, Manhattan's pretty small, about 23 square miles.
	But yeah, 23 square miles.
	All right.
	Hold on a second.
	Hey, Error, how big is the AI data center farm in West Texas?
	Yes.
	There's a map of them being over 5,000 acres near Abilene, powered by up to two gigawatts for thousands.
	5,000 acres.
	5,000 acres.
	Now, Teller.
	23 square miles is 5,000 acres isn't even close to 23 square miles.
	Error.
	How many square miles is 5,000 acres?
	5,000 acres is about 7.8 square miles.
	Okay, so it would have to be eight times bigger.
	I'm thinking that's possible.
	It's already too big.
	Well, I know it's too big, the whole thing.
	But this is hyperscalers.
	Where is the Manhattan size deal going to be built?
	This is bull crap.
	They're just, I don't even know what the point of that is.
	It's just like sucking more money.
	It's bull.
	Yes.
	It's nonsense.
	Yes.
	You're absolutely right.
	Here's what OpenAI says.
	This is crazy.
	This is from CNBC.
	Open AI said on Monday the U.S. needs to substantially ramp up its investment in new energy capacity.
	So it's obviously not just the data centers, but it is also the power.
	And see, OpenAI shared in an 11-page submission to the White House Office of Science and Technology, in which it encouraged the U.S. to commit to building 100 gigawatts of new energy capacity each year.
	100 gigawatts each year.
	10 gigawatts powers about 8 million households.
	They're crazy.
	But they're stuck in this loop.
	I think that's the point, is they're stuck in this loop where the money is going from one end to the other.
	The money can't go anywhere else because, well, we got no other technology.
	It's going round and round and round.
	Yeah, but it's coming out of private equity.
	Everyone's pouring money.
	They have to do something with the money.
	And it's like musical chairs.
	It's like put your money in.
	Okay, get it out and then maybe put some more back in.
	Okay, we could put it in here and pull it out again.
	It goes round and round and round.
	There's a disaster waiting to happen.
	Yes.
	And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out with a report that showed that based on a conservative scenario, all of these data centers would need to consume two states of California's worth of energy.
	And in an accelerated scenario, it would be six states of California.
	And that's just talking about the energy, but then what energy source are they using?
	And when you look at the numbers, it's primarily fossil fuel.
	So they are natural gas.
	They are single-handedly revitalizing the natural gas and coal industries.
	That's an extraordinary amount of carbon emissions.
	That's not only accelerating climate change, but also leading to huge public health concerns with the air pollution.
	We've seen some phenomenal reporting out of Memphis, Tennessee, about the fact that Grok is being trained on a supercomputer called Colossus in Memphis that is being powered by 35 methane gas turbines that are pumping extraordinary amounts of pollutants into this community's air.
	Pollutants, pollutants.
	Well, the Colossus, the Forbidden Project.
	Yeah, oh, yeah.
	That's Elon Musk.
	That's Musk, of course.
	So we'll interrupt this series with the latest news from Bill Gates, who, of course, is all in on the AI train and the power and everything that needs to go into it.
	So what do you do?
	Backpedal on climate change.
	Climate is a super important problem.
	Super important.
	There's enough innovation here to avoid super bad outcomes.
	Super bad.
	We won't achieve our best goal, the 1.5 or even the two degrees.
	And as we go about trying to minimize that, we have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare, not just everything should be solely for climate.
	What happened?
	We're all going to die, Bill.
	When the climate activists who have been very supportive of what you've done and you've been very supportive of what they've done read this, and if Greta Thunberg is reading this and saying to herself, my goodness, he seems like he is reversing himself, what would you tell her?
	She's right and she's a twerp.
	I'd say, wasn't the goal here to improve human lives?
	No.
	And shouldn't we, in our awareness of how little generosity there is to help measure, you know, should we get them a measles vaccine or should we do some climate-related activity?
	And if we could take, if we stop funding all vaccines and that, you know, saved you 0.1 degree, would that be a smart trade-off?
	That's the kind of question we have to ask.
	So let's just stop this and go back for a second to 2021, CBS News.
	In fact, and we're all familiar with the fallout from this global pandemic that we've now been living with for almost a year.
	And you write in the book, the loss of life and economic misery caused by this pandemic are on par with what will happen regularly if we do not eliminate the world's carbon emissions.
	Sounds a little different to me.
	Then wasn't the goal just a better life, everybody?
	This is so obvious what he's doing here.
	He's worried sick that the climate people are going to stop the forward progress of the AI bullcrap.
	Yes.
	But who is to blame for this, according to Karen Howe?
	I mean, at some level, is this a testosterone-fueled competition among some very ambitious, egotistical men?
	Really?
	Mark Zuckerberg, testosterone-fueled?
	Really?
	Elon Musk, testosterone-fueled?
	They look more low-tee to me.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, it's not a coincidence that every single tech billionaire has their own AI company now, and they're all jostling to position their AI company as somehow superior to the others.
	They're basically trying to refashion AI in their image, and that's why none of them are actually collaborating, and they're all trying to race on ultimately a technology that is commoditized.
	They're racing to get out before the other guy loses.
	And it is, musical chairs is the best analogy.
	Here she is on that.
	This is the return on investment.
	So when you look at the landscape now, these companies are racing into the future.
	The Trump administration is not particularly regulating or restraining them in any way.
	Can this just go on?
	I mean, these companies are very rich, but at some point, don't they need to show a return on this investment?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, I think we are in a huge bubble that is going to pop.
	There's going to be a massive market correction at some point that could have ripple effects across the global economy.
	When you look at the cash balance of these companies, they are spending trillions in the next few years to build out all of this computational infrastructure.
	And they've only achieved tens of billions in revenue.
	Tens of billions versus trillions just doesn't make sense as a balance sheet.
	And you can see that the companies are really trying to figure out how to close that gap.
	Initially, they tried subscriptions, but they discovered that actually the average person is unwilling to pay for this technology.
	And businesses are no longer adopting these technologies with paying for subscriptions either.
	And so now the reason why I think OpenAI is ultimately adding feeds into ChatGPT and creating an AI-generated TikTok is because they are going to make an advertising play.
	And they're going to try and fill the gap with advertising revenue.
	But when you look at something like Google, which has some of the largest ad revenue, they haven't, last year they didn't even achieve $300 billion worth of ad revenue.
	And that is one of the most successful advertising businesses in the history of the world.
	And so how are they going to fill the trillions of dollars of spending?
	It's just not possible.
	No, yeah, it is.
	Open AI has a plan.
	Now to the latest shift in AI shopping.
	PayPal is the latest to partner with OpenAI to create a digital wallet embedded into ChatGPT.
	PayPal CEO says the future will allow merchants to sell and shoppers to buy directly through the platform.
	The move helps to broaden OpenAI's efforts to use ChatGPT for e-commerce.
	It recently announced similar partnerships with Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy.
	PayPal is aiming to position itself as the go-to purchase portal in the AI arena.
	The digital wallet is expected to roll out early next year.
	You know, this is always the beginning of the end.
	And then it's, oh, well, we'll just do advertise.
	We'll just run ads so bad now that this is what Samsung is doing with their fridge for refrigerators.
	Next, Samsung is getting a chilly reception over plans to launch ads on some smart fridges.
	The ads are expected to roll out next week.
	They'll appear on the front screen of the company's Fanley Hubline, which has a starting price of $2,000.
	Many customers will be relieved to know they can turn off the ads.
	Oh, yeah.
	Just run ads on my fridge.
	Okay.
	But then it seems, and I don't know if you talked about this on DH Unplugged, but this is the latest now.
	This is how we do two things.
	One, we prove that AI is working.
	Two, we reduce our overall spending.
	So Amazon's saying this morning, it's going to lay off about 14,000 corporate employees as it restructures for the AI era, marking the latest move in a multi-year effort to streamline operations and shift resources toward its biggest bets, including generative AI.
	Now, in a blog post, Amazon's HR chief, Beth Goletti, said that the cuts are aimed at reducing layers and bureaucracy so that the company can move faster.
	She called AI the most transformative technology since the internet and said Amazon needs to be leaner to keep pace.
	The company has about 350,000 corporate employees, meaning that the confirmed cuts affect roughly 4% of that workforce.
	But what I will say is that those layoffs are expected to become the largest corporate job cuts in Amazon's history.
	Reuters reporting the total could go as high as 30,000.
	And the company did signal this morning that more layoffs are likely in the year ahead, even as it continues hiring in key strategic areas.
	It was also just this June that CEO Andy Jassy warned AI adoption would lead to fewer roles in some parts of the business.
	Very good.
	It's a lot of management, Mackenzie.
	Sounds, especially for a company that you think of as pretty well run and lean and mean.
	What were they all doing?
	I don't get it.
	What were they doing?
	It's very AI related, is it not?
	Yeah, I think it's a combination of internal efficiencies through generative AI tech that affect internal workflows.
	But then crucially, look at cuts at Microsoft, 15,000 people.
	Now we're talking about 14,000 at Amazon, potentially more.
	These are the two main hyperscalers.
	They've committed to spend around $120 billion in this fiscal year on build out, a lot of that having to do with servicing their AI customers.
	So we're going to see what their capex numbers are when they report just this week, Thursday.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, of course.
	Oh, it works great.
	I think Joe Kernan's question was correct.
	What were those people doing?
	What were they doing?
	You can get rid of them.
	There was 350,000 corporate people.
	The number we noticed, Horror was noted on the DH Unplugged show is that actually Amazon has 1.5 million people.
	Getting rid of 30,000 is nothing.
	No, I'm with you, but I still want to know what they were doing.
	Were they changing?
	They weren't doing, what are any of them doing?
	Unless they're dropping a package off.
	And if you haven't noticed, they take forever to do that.
	And then meanwhile, none of these companies with all their hyperscaler noise can even keep their own crap running.
	All right, now we've got a developing story on some tech outages happening right now.
	Let's get out to McKinsey Sagalos in San Francisco for more on that.
	Mac, I know some people out there are experiencing some latency with regard to their access.
	What's going on?
	So Don, we're seeing reports on Down Detector of outages at Google Cloud and Microsoft's Azure hours before both companies report quarterly earnings.
	Microsoft's investment relations page, where it posts those results, is currently not loading.
	Now, I'm out to Alphabet and haven't heard back, but the Azure support account is acknowledging the outage, saying that they're investigating an issue impacting their cloud service.
	The company adding that customers may be experiencing issues accessing the portal.
	This comes after last week's 15-hour Amazon web services outage that took down numerous major websites.
	AWS, though, telling me that they are operating normally right now.
	This is, you know, the world always goes from centralization to decentralization.
	I think we're about ready for the pendulum to swing back.
	Well, I'm now thinking about the Manhattan-sized monster server farm that gets filled up with rats and start chewing on things.
	The next thing you know, the whole world goes down.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, just imagine everybody's using AI and then Azure goes down or the data center goes down.
	Then what's going to happen?
	You can't rely, have your business relying on that.
	I mean, it's bad enough.
	Office 365 went down.
	People couldn't get to their email.
	Wait until they can't get to their chat bot.
	We'll have zombies walking, I can't make a decision.
	Time code.
	Seriously.
	You know, it's like podcasting is a pretty good deal right now.
	Decentralized.
	No ads.
	I mean, at least not on our show.
	Not going to throw an ad in your face.
	Ooh, just shop.
	Shop something.
	It's free.
	It's free.
	Gold.
	Gold.
	Well, those gold guys made out pretty well with how gold went.
	Yeah, well, it doesn't mean we have to sell it.
	Ben Shapiro told me to buy gold, and he was right.
	So let's listen to the mayor race cat.
	Can I just play this one last clip?
	Because this was the stupidest.
	This is the same theme, yes.
	Sure, play.
	And you had your valid point on DH Unplugged, where you said, your signal, the signal that the market signal to sell.
	Yes, please explain the sell signal that you use.
	Well, actually, Horowitz does too.
	The sell signal I use is that if you have people that should not be in the stock market or know anything much about it, start asking if they should be in the stock market.
	And the first time I, the best version of this signal was when I was at Tech TV and one of the camera girls came up to me in 99, just like months before the dot-com collapsed.
	And she says, do you think I should invest in the stock market?
	I was thinking of buying some shares in Jupiter and Jupiter Networks.
	And I said, have you been in this?
	Do you trade?
	Do you ever been in the market?
	No.
	But I hear it's like, you know, she went on.
	So the other night at dinner, one of the people at the dinner, and I didn't say who, says, you think it's a good time to get into the stock market.
	And I'm thinking, well, okay.
	No, no.
	And so that's a sign.
	It's always called, it's a public signal that, and Horowitz notices it with some of his clients.
	He says there's these, if you have, if you're in the business and you have a lot of different clients, there's always one or two you can count on to buy all the time.
	Because yeah, buy at the top, sell.
	And you know this from working for decades in the business and the fact that they have been wrong all the time for decades and decades.
	This is a gold mine to me, as far as I'm concerned.
	You got somebody like that.
	So you're saying we should go short.
	Just the opposite.
	We should go short, short, short the market.
	Well, you know, you should short the market if you don't know what the hell you don't know what you're doing.
	You could actually shorting the market could result in going completely broke.
	But this to me was peak, peak AI, peak tech, peak everything, peak Silicon Valley.
	And I'm sure you saw this.
	This is the Wall Street General Report reporter who got the home, the first humanoid home robot.
	And the company is run by a Swedish CEO, you know, with like longish blonde hair, you know, with the accent and everything.
	I'm like, this is it.
	This is the end.
	Oh, and by the way, the thing is run by anonymous Indians.
	It's here.
	The first humanoid robot housekeeper.
	Thank you, Neo.
	For $20,000, you can pre-order 1X's Neo robot now with delivery in 2026.
	I think you missed a tiny spot over here.
	Just one little catch.
	There may be a human behind the curtain pulling the robot's strings.
	If I throw up, will the robot throw up?
	A company representative may need to peer into your house via Neo's camera eyes to get things done.
	Many people, this is crazy.
	You have to be okay with this for the product to be useful.
	But is Neo a useful product?
	We're twinning now, Neo.
	Home robots have had two big challenges.
	Creating a safe and capable body and a smart brain.
	One X is taking on both of those, which is why Neo looks so different from a more industrial factory robot.
	Neo, it's 70 degrees here in California.
	Why are you wearing a sweater?
	Good question.
	Why am I wearing a sweater?
	It's a combination of safety and just also generally aesthetics.
	You can think of it kind of like a skin, except if it was an actual skin, that would probably be pretty creepy.
	It would be creepy.
	But I actually wasn't all that creaked out by Neo.
	Inside Neo, it really starts with some very, very powerful motors.
	Powerful.
	We have developed harmonics.
	These motors are strong and light.
	Instead of using the classical gears that you see in robots, we can actually pull on tens, loosely inspired by biology and muscles.
	This allows Neo to move around not just quietly and smoothly, but also be very, very lightweight and be very low energy in motion, just like people.
	So $126 million invested in this company.
	Who has been leading the rounds?
	Open AI.
	Wow.
	Yeah, okay.
	And again, making a human-like robot, that's the dumbest thing ever.
	It's dumb.
	My vacuum robot is great.
	It does not look like a human pushing a vacuum cleaner.
	The end is near.
	I'm counting on it.
	Well, you'd have to find a jump to shark point and maybe that might be it, but then we still have to wait another couple years.
	Years, really?
	Years?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right, years.
	All right.
	Back to you, Bob.
	Well, let's look at the mayoral race in New York and how let's catch up to it with these two clips.
	NYC.
	Yes, got it.
	And here in New York City, early voting began on Saturday, and already more than 300,000 people have cast their ballots.
	And today's Arlene Richards spoke with voters in Chelsea, Manhattan, who talked about their choices for the city's next mayor.
	On day four of early voting in New York City, we visited a polling place on 28th Street in Chelsea at FIT's Feldman Building.
	The afternoon was slow, but early voting has hit record numbers as New Yorkers make some tough decisions.
	Some of the latest polls indicate that former Governor Andrew Cuomo is narrowing the gap, now trailing frontrunner Zoron Momdani by 10 points.
	Momdani is polled at 43%, Cuomo at 33%, down from 20 points a month ago.
	New York icon Curtis Sleewa is also picking up some votes, but still lags behind in last place at about 15%.
	Now that voting has started, it's a race against the clock.
	All three candidates were out canvassing on Saturday.
	Momdani spent part of the day Monday at a polling site on the Upper East Side and campaigned in the Bronx on Wednesday, while Sleewa hit the subway stations a day after early voting started and greeted Staten Island voters at the ferry terminal Wednesday morning.
	Meanwhile, Cuomo teamed up with Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor David Patterson on Tuesday and headed to Staten Island later on Wednesday.
	Voters on Wednesday were excited about the mayor race.
	I am waiting with bated breath because as we can all tell with polls, they mean nothing.
	I don't know.
	I'm with you.
	I think he's going to sweep it.
	It can't be Cuomo.
	Nobody wants Cuomo.
	That's the problem.
	There's no candidates.
	It's stupid.
	It's stupid.
	There's issues that make it almost impossible for Cuomo to win, but you never know at the last minute.
	But here we go with part two.
	One voter said he chose Mom Dani because he's concerned about his children's future.
	A lot of the things that he's looking to do, I've like I don't need health care for my children.
	They're already college age and all that and a lot of the other things that he's talked about with rent civilization.
	I own my home, so I don't have to worry about that.
	But I do see how that's very beneficial to other people inside the city and want to be able to look towards the future.
	And where my kids come back to the city after college, what are they going to be able to be able to live like?
	He also praised one of the other candidates.
	I think that Sleewa is very entertaining and is definitely a real New Yorker.
	I think that he has the heart of New York in his best interest.
	So I am a fan of that.
	Franz said Cuomo's campaign was too negative toward Mom Dani.
	Voter Dave Ron, who was born and raised in the Chelsea area, voted for Sleewa.
	Curlis Sleewa stood up against a lot of people that I don't think Cuomo or Mandami would have the goal to do.
	You know, and I think that's big because a lot of native New Yorkers are losing their voice here in New York City because of the way the city has grown and the city has changed.
	It's changed for good reasons, it's changed for bad reasons.
	But I'll tell you, being a New Yorker since before the bike lanes, I'll tell you that this is a very, very important time in our city.
	And I think dealing with somebody who knows New York, who knows the politicians in New York, who has never done anything to be cast aside in New York and who stood up for New Yorkers, whether they were black, white, yellow, Puerto Rican, or Haitian, or whether there were Democrat Independents or Republicans.
	He stood up there with his red beret, shoulder to shoulder with other real New Yorkers, and I think he's the one to save New York.
	That would be amazing if that happened.
	I doubt that.
	Yeah, it's not going to happen.
	I've always liked Sliwa, though.
	I was there in the 80s when his dudes, his guardian angels were riding the subways.
	It was good.
	We're heroes.
	We loved him.
	But let's tabletop.
	Let's war game this, John.
	So Mondami clearly has to be a cutout.
	I mean, he's not really going to make any decisions.
	This, to me, reeks of AOC.
	You know, he's an actor.
	He literally is an actor.
	Yeah, I agree.
	So it's a capture of some.
	He's good.
	He's got a nice smile.
	Yeah, no, he's perfect.
	He's got the beard, which is hot.
	Oh, really?
	Is it hot?
	Thank you for that info.
	It's hot.
	Okay.
	Yeah, that's what J.D. Vance has to have a beard.
	J.D. Vance, if he gave the same speech without the beard, you wouldn't.
	He just doesn't look good.
	He looks like Rush Limbaugh.
	Without the beard?
	Yeah, almost exactly.
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't know.
	When is the, is it this election coming up next week?
	Yeah, the 5th of November.
	Yeah, 4th of 5th.
	Something like that.
	Well, clearly, I can't see Mondamni, Mondam, Mamdani not winning.
	That'll be interesting.
	And I don't think New York's going to fall apart.
	I don't think so.
	Oh, no, it falls apart naturally.
	But all the young people, they're voting for him.
	They're like, yeah, freeze my rent, bro.
	They're actually going for it.
	Yet no one ever voted for the Rent's Too High guy.
	Whatever happened to him?
	I think you died.
	Did he?
	Well, I don't know for sure.
	Rent too high.
	That was reported.
	Was that the guy with the boot on his head?
	No, I don't know who that guy.
	The guy had the boot on his head.
	No, that was the guy who was going to give everybody a free pony.
	And then, of course, for some reason, it's crazy, but Manning got no traction.
	We love Manning.
	Manning would be great for New York.
	It's not going to happen.
	No, Manning is a maniac.
	Yes, that's what we like about him.
	So, unless you have something else, just an off-the-wall clip, which I was just...
	I do have the off-the-wall clip.
	Well, we'll do two off-the-wall clips.
	Oh, you have one?
	I have one.
	Yeah.
	I mean, off-the-wall.
	Well, I have the rant of the month.
	Oh, no.
	We'll do that next.
	So this was ABC about the new supersonic jet.
	You heard about this?
	The X-59 supersonic jet?
	No, the last jet I heard about was the F-47.
	Well, no, this is not a fighter jet.
	This is a jet that would be for passengers.
	Over our new passenger.
	I've heard talk about different things or designing.
	But this report is so wrong because we know exactly what happened with supersonic jets.
	And I'll just reiterate because were we doing the show?
	I don't think we're doing the show.
	You had the Concorde, and the Concorde was great.
	I've flown the Concord.
	It was fun.
	New York to London in three and a half hours.
	Groovy.
	I have lots of stories about it.
	And then they had a Concorde that was rented out for a German company to fly their employees around.
	Crashes and burns.
	Everybody dies.
	Like, oh, this thing, because they ran over a piece of metal on the on the runway that pierced, I think, the wing and maybe the tank.
	And so that was the official reason.
	And so they say, okay, your airworthiness certificate is gone until you fix all these problems.
	And they got their airworthiness certificate back.
	And do you remember what day the Concorde was supposed to fly again?
	No, I do not.
	September 11th, 2001.
	Oh.
	So it never came back into service.
	It was fine.
	Its sonic boom was over the ocean, so it didn't bother anybody.
	And you couldn't land it at every single airport.
	But this report is just filled with errors.
	It's called the X-59, and it could be this century's Concorde.
	NASA's experimental jet taking off yesterday on its first test flight over the California desert, built to fly 925 miles per hour, nearly twice as fast as today's commercial airliners.
	The X-59 is designed to be the first aircraft to break the sound barrier quietly.
	How is that even possible?
	Is it really possible to break it?
	Yeah, it is.
	Okay.
	I've seen the papers on this.
	There's some way of taking the, it does something.
	There's a way of doing it.
	They create some sort of fake turbulence or something that breaks up the boom.
	Okay.
	Quietly.
	Meticulously engineered, it produces a gentle thump, a mere whisper compared to the disruptive booms of the past.
	The explosive-like sonic boom is why commercial supersonic flight has been banned over the U.S.
	That can startle people, it can rattle windows and cause problems.
	Even military flights are restricted to certain areas because the shockwaves can cause so much disturbance on the ground.
	But the X-59's unique shape turns that boom into more of a thump, no louder than slamming a car door.
	You may recall the supersonic Concorde flew for decades until it was retired in 2003 due to high operating costs and fading demand.
	No, no, not true.
	There was total demand for it.
	It was only allowed to be.
	Yeah, that's wrong.
	Can I say something quickly?
	Yeah.
	When I was a little kid, little boy, it was still legal to fly over the U.S. at supersonic speeds.
	That's how long ago we were flying supersonic?
	We were flying supersonic, yeah, I think in the 50s.
	Yeah.
	And you hear the boom once in a while.
	Yeah.
	And it was loud.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But this, but the concord.
	But it wasn't, it wasn't disturbing.
	It wasn't.
	It didn't start.
	I mean, it was just like, oh, there's a, there's a jet.
	Yeah.
	That's what you said to yourself.
	It wasn't a big deal.
	Yeah, but she's making it sound like, oh, because of the boom.
	This is basically a commercial for Lockheed.
	It wasn't because it was loud and people didn't want to fly.
	It is because it crashed and then nobody wanted to fly after 2001 and then it just went away.
	Due to high operating costs and fading demand, it was only allowed to hit supersonic speeds over the ocean.
	The X-59, without that deafening sonic boom, could be a game changer.
	Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy saying it has the potential to change the way the public flies.
	An X-Plane is a symbol of our collective ambition to redefine the future.
	And in this case, it's the future of supersonic travel.
	The test flight yesterday is being called a significant aviation milestone.
	Supersonic travel could be especially important for medical transportation and disaster relief.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Yeah.
	Government contract.
	You know, there was a supersonic boom.
	In the era of the show, there was a supersonic boom around here some years ago.
	It was an accident, I think.
	While we were doing the show?
	Yeah.
	Well, no, no, not during the show.
	I did have a Osprey come across the year.
	I remember that.
	Sure, I remember.
	The Osprey was like, what is this thing coming at me?
	But no, it was during the day.
	And it, you know, you tell I knew it was a supersonic boom, but it was like, it's not that bad that it frightens you or it's deafening.
	No.
	They just exaggerate everything.
	It was annoying if it was, yeah, if you had a million, like a hundred jets constantly making the boom sound, it would be, yeah, that would be not, not be fun.
	No.
	Anyway.
	Okay, so we have this is the this is the last clip before we go to the break.
	This will be the uh rant of the day.
	So I heard the attorney general in Michigan's going after the Trump administration for the snap benefits.
	Uh and here's the thing or suing them because they're not releasing snap benefits.
	What people don't know in this country is they voted 12 times.
	The Republicans came through with just a snap benefit in the military bill and the Democrats have voted it down 12 times because reality is this and this is what's happening in the country.
	They need illegals in this country.
	That's why they're fighting for health care for them over you.
	They don't care if you die.
	Okay.
	Just like they didn't care what happened to our elderly in small in COVID.
	Let's see, they built a $9 million hospital, a satellite hospital, a Cobo Hall in Detroit.
	And instead of sending the COVID-positive elderly patients there, it only saw like nine people.
	Instead of sending them there, they sent them back into the nursing home so they could get a high death count.
	Yes, so they could get a high death count.
	Because did you not ever question people who weren't dying in the streets?
	But if they went to the hospitals, they didn't make it because the ventilators weren't working.
	They knew they weren't working.
	They were purposely killing people.
	And I'm not going to sit here after what's happened to my family and everybody else in this state and all these Democratic states and sit here and say, it's okay.
	The Republicans are bad people.
	There are some bad Republicans for sure.
	But I'm going to tell you, this playbook you played in COVID, which is, let's see, bankrupt small businesses, destroy our elderly, house our children, imprison them, don't let them go to school so they're years behind.
	Shut down everything.
	And that's what you're doing now.
	You're sacrificing your own people and people that need food because you want to win an election and you want to win power and you will do anything to make people look bad because that's the only way you can win.
	I am sick of it.
	I am so sick and tired that these people have power over us and they decide the fates of our lives.
	The American dream is gone because they sell us out.
	And how long has she been a no-agenda listener?
	Oh, man.
	Yeah.
	This is a good one.
	Spot on.
	Spot on.
	That's right.
	Democrats are doing it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Nonsense.
	We'll see.
	Well, if it goes into November, a lot of interesting things will happen.
	A lot of interesting things.
	Well, yeah, I'd say.
	Yeah.
	Hey, with that, I want to thank you for I was going to say, in fact, Walmart decided they're going to close.
	Close a lot of stores and put cops all over the place because they're taking it seriously.
	Yeah.
	I heard some black TikTokers saying, this is great, some dudes.
	Like, this is great.
	You finally have to go back to the man that you left for the get the snap benefits is going to reunite the American black American family.
	You know, there's a logic to that.
	Total logic to it.
	And that, yeah, well, it's a mess, John.
	It's just a mess.
	But now I would like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the champagne socialists.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C.
	Yeah, good morning, Mr. Shadam Curry.
	Good morning, Ross.
	C, who's on the ground feeding the air subs in the water and all the damage that I sat there?
	In the morning, trolls, how you doing?
	Don't wonder.
	1,612 trolls.
	We're down about 180.
	But we'll take as many trolls as we can get.
	And boy, are they trolling today?
	Oh, my lord, they are trolling.
	They've gone nuts.
	Well, but that's good.
	Get it out of your system in the troll room.
	That's what the troll room is for.
	The Trump is fake.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	Israel runs everything.
	Israel runs everything.
	That is my troll impersonation.
	Calm down, trolls.
	It's okay.
	If you get dizzy, just look at the ground.
	It'll all go away.
	It'll all be fine.
	So they're listening at noagendastream.com or perhaps using one of those fancy modern podcast apps.
	You owe it to yourself to get one of those so that you can be alerted when we go live.
	Many other shows on the No Agenda Stream go live.
	You can listen to it live in a podcast app.
	No other legacy app does that.
	And of course, when we publish our show, the ones that use podping, look at the handy-dandy little chart there.
	You will be notified within 90 seconds that the show has been published.
	Why wait around on your legacy app when you can get your No Agenda fixed the minute you want it?
	The minute it's available, jam it right in the vein, deep.
	We're in our 19th year now.
	Is that is it?
	We're in our 19th year, right?
	Yeah, we celebrate 18, so we're in a 19th year.
	There's always controversy over that.
	No, we're in our, we're starting our 19th year.
	Okay, we're starting our 19th, 19 years.
	What a run this has been.
	What a run.
	It's been amazing.
	It's gunsmoke.
	We are in gunsmoke territory.
	That's right.
	And we've done it value for value.
	This is what amazes people.
	And we're just like gunsmoke.
	We're black and white while everyone else is in color and video.
	That's correct.
	There was a couple of articles that came across the transom.
	This was kind of an interesting point about Patreon-supported journalism.
	It really can't be the future of news.
	And this article highlights a number of people who write about news, who do news stuff.
	And I'm sure they have podcasts.
	And they monetize through Patreon.
	And the problem with Patreon is that, you know, it's not really value for value.
	It's like subscribe to my Patreon, you know, get one of those levels.
	You get a tote bag or a hat.
	And, you know, it's, and I've been trying to explain this to some people.
	It's like the reason why that doesn't work is because you have all these $5 a month subscribers.
	And if you don't do what they want to hear, then they cancel.
	And with us, it's like, there's no canceling.
	You just don't, if you didn't get value out of the show, you didn't like it.
	Although the amount of people that say, I don't agree with you, but what you're doing is worth it, you know, then send us whatever value you think it's worth.
	That system works.
	You know, we're going to die saying this.
	And how many people will actually successfully deploy the value for value model?
	I think under 50.
	You know what I mean?
	That are really doing value for value.
	And of course, the other big mistake is you have to have an outstanding product.
	This is what people don't understand.
	There's a system to it.
	We have explained this system so many times.
	I've been trying to get Laura Logan to do it.
	I said, you're going to starve doing the show.
	You do great.
	You do great.
	You're really good at what you do.
	But then all of a sudden you break away in the middle of your interview and like talk about some coffee.
	It's like, you know, we get our coffee.
	We like the coffee.
	We talk about the coffee and the guy gives us 200 bucks a show, but it's not an ad.
	And if we didn't like the coffee, we say we don't like the coffee.
	Am I right?
	Or we wouldn't talk about it.
	Pretty much.
	We don't have any obligation.
	No.
	Same with the tip of the day.
	And even better, we don't have any meetings with them.
	We don't have to meet like, oh, there's the real killer.
	I don't like her.
	Or having to talk.
	Or not even the meeting.
	Just having to talk with an advertiser who wants to talk about just a chat.
	You know, we're really not seeing an ROI on our.
	Can you use a code?
	By the way, Tina got a lot of response to her crowd health.
	I told her, but people should email Tina at curry.com.
	And we're getting our kids on this now, too.
	Because we got a kid in New York.
	She got a quote for the marketplace.
	You know, that's the Obamacare marketplace.
	If you don't have an employer, $600 a month.
	And she's not even 30.
	Come on.
	Where's you go with one?
	That brings us to the bonus clip for the donation segment.
	Oh, I didn't know you had a bonus clip.
	What are we doing?
	20K ripoff insurance.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Here we go.
	Of all people in the United States, do not use their benefits past their deductible.
	Period.
	Wow.
	That's a huge.
	And do you know what's actually deductible?
	Well, what's the average premium now?
	Do you know?
	So it just, it just went over $20,000.
	And if you're a union employee, remember, unions, I've helped unions in the past, and I think a lot of them, they do all first-dollar coverage, meaning they have no cocays, no deductibles, no co-insurance.
	And so the way that they've done theirs, they're at 28,000 to 30,000, depending on who you talk to.
	I've talked to people at the UAW.
	I've talked to people at STEAL, I've talked to the candy makers.
	I've talked to a bunch of different ones.
	And so they're somewhere in there.
	But I mean, you start thinking about $20,000 a year.
	Now, the Republicans have been very good about talking about the federal budget and how much the deficit is crushing us.
	But I really think the number one problem in America, the number one problem in America is stealing thousands of dollars from not only working Americans, but also what I would call middle Americans, right?
	Those were making $80,000 to $120,000.
	They have a normal house.
	They have two car payments.
	They're both working.
	And they're just normal families like trying to do their thing.
	Their kids are in sports.
	There's normal people.
	And instead of us helping them retire, we're stealing $2,000 a month from them to pay inordinate amounts of money to premium.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Tina and I were paying $1,600 a month and we're healthy.
	You know, it's like, okay.
	And we had a deductible of some of some ridiculous amount, like $15,000 deductible.
	So it's a year's worth of payments.
	Yeah.
	So it's worthless.
	It's worthless.
	And what we were doing, what we would try is we do cash payment.
	Of course, because we knew we could never satisfy the deductible unless something catastrophic happened.
	And you can get it for 30 cents on the dollar.
	They're happy.
	The medical community, they don't want to.
	I had clips on, I had clips.
	I don't have them of various nurses saying that they would tell somebody that their deductible for getting an x-ray of some sort is, it will could be up to $100 For the one x-ray, or you can go to this other x-ray service with a cash deal and get the same x-ray for $30.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	And so, what these outfits like CrowdHealth do, they negotiate with the medical provider on your behalf.
	And then, because you pay into the system, I think she pays $200 a month.
	That if something happens, then the whole system pays for you.
	I think I should get the kids onto this crazy.
	Seriously, the kids need this.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And the only thing you can't be a smoker, though.
	You got to be honest about it.
	Luckily, none of my kids are smokers.
	Good.
	And this is a good Tina.
	Women always have more stuff than men in general, I think.
	And they have some preventative stuff, which is rare for a crowdfunding outfit.
	And they have, you know, if you're pregnant, no problem.
	Cancer, no problem.
	They have a prescription plan.
	I'm amazed that this is not that people don't know more about this.
	And I love it because it's Americans working.
	You think the TV people are going to talk about this?
	No, you're right.
	These guys were so hard up, they went to the Bitcoin community.
	They were at Bitcoin conferences.
	Yeah, man, we're a Bitcoin company.
	No, you're not.
	But we love what you're doing anyway.
	Code Bongino.
	Tina will hook you up.
	So where was I?
	What was I talking about?
	I don't know.
	I was talking about something to do with premium insurance.
	You said that your kids had to pay $600 or something.
	They went to something else.
	Obamacare was no good.
	Somehow it came into the value for value.
	I'm not sure.
	Let's just thank you.
	Oh, that's right.
	You were talking about Patreon.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I don't know.
	How did I get off of that?
	So Patreon, the problem is that people will then get captured.
	It's audience capture because they're so afraid of losing subscribers.
	Yeah, but if you say, I say I'm listening to a podcast and I subscribe to their podcast via Patreon instead of just sending them the money.
	So I go to Patreon and I fill out the forms and they take five bucks a month or whatever.
	But Patreon takes 10%, by the way.
	Okay, which is too much.
	So they take 10% of the money.
	And then does the podcast get my emailing address so they can send me emails?
	I think so.
	That I don't know.
	Are you sure?
	No, I'm not sure.
	But my point is a little different than that.
	The whole idea is send value when you feel you got value.
	Don't let me be captured by, oh, we don't want to lose subscribers.
	You know, that's that's it's bad.
	You get bad product.
	And we're honest.
	I mean, if we'd been on Patreon with our Israel rap, man, we'd be broke.
	Because you know, we're not, we're not getting Jew money, that's for sure.
	Yeah, where's our Jew money, by the way?
	Jews are very low on this on the page.
	We haven't been getting much Muslim money either, I might add, by a hint out there to our friend.
	Yeah, well, I figure he's in some country where it's hard to get to a well, once they did the peace deal, he disappeared.
	Oh, good point.
	What is that?
	Yeah, peace deal done.
	Okay.
	So he thinks we were keeping Trump going?
	Is that what his thinking was?
	I have no idea.
	So part of the value for value is three T's, time, talent, treasure.
	You can do a lot to help the show.
	You can turn people onto the show.
	You know, there's no algos and podcasting.
	There's no, you know, everything that has been tried has always failed.
	People hear about podcasts from other people.
	And then when they hear about it, they give it a try.
	And we call it hitting in the mouth because you need to smack somebody pretty hard before they, the first thing you're like, oh, these guys are Republicans.
	Oh, these guys are anti-vexers.
	It takes a little bit to figure out what we are and what we aren't.
	Yeah, we're not anti-vexers and we're not Republicans.
	No, and we also, we are open to criticism.
	And I love the people who are saying, hey, you know, maybe if you didn't read those critical notes on the show, then you wouldn't get so many.
	Like, this is a feature of the show.
	Not only that, but it's, I said to the guy that you're talking about who made that comment, it's an opportunity for Adam to do his hole.
	It's a great voice.
	We loves listening to it, but he has to practice.
	Yeah, I need practice, so send more.
	You can't just do it once every six months.
	So part of the time, talent, and treasure is doing artwork for the show.
	And of course, I've been complaining for a long time about the prompt jockeys and the degradation and quality of art.
	And then out of the blue, left field, she must have been working on it for a while.
	The original Dutch master, Tanteniel, comes back with a vengeance, brings us 18 years of media deconstruction, a beautiful piece of art that we used for 1811.
	That was our 18th anniversary show titled The NA Era.
	This just had everything in it.
	And we agreed that she had to be working on this for a long time.
	Yeah.
	And it was not to be done in advance of the show.
	Yeah.
	And it was not AI.
	This was a class.
	I mean, I said possible.
	I'm seeing swine flu.
	I'm seeing drones.
	I'm seeing, oh, man, like the MH13 plane.
	It masks BLM, Brexit.
	I mean, and it's cryptic.
	Now, not all of it is immediately.
	You have to look at it, like, what does she mean by this?
	Oh, I see.
	You had the PBS logos.
	I mean, everything was in that transgender.
	All of it's in there.
	It was really, it was a beautiful piece.
	Thank you, Tantaniel.
	We love you.
	We appreciate that you did that work for us.
	Let me look at that.
	I'm trying to find, there it is.
	It's on page two.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I looked at this thing trying to get the code from.
	They got the world on fire, which was a global warming.
	Guy throwing a Melotov cocktail, a pangolin.
	Yep.
	See the pangolin?
	Yeah.
	Bitcoin, a cross celebrate yourself.
	How Bitcoin is early on, how we miss that.
	Beanie babies.
	We miss that one.
	Now, there's a kind of a next to the Capitol building.
	There's a guy standing there with his arms outreach.
	I don't know what that one is.
	Let me see.
	See the Trump.
	It's on the lower right.
	There's a Trump head, then the Capitol building.
	Then there's somebody.
	Maybe that's a statue that's taken down.
	Not sure.
	Ice cream cone from Biden.
	I see that.
	That's unbelievable.
	Yeah, I see the little COVID, the COVID thing.
	We got a goat.
	We got peak oil.
	We've got all kinds of stuff.
	It's ridiculously great.
	Yeah.
	The farmer protests.
	The Queen of England's on there.
	Trump's on there.
	It's beautiful.
	It's a piece to be framed, I would say.
	It's frameable.
	It's completely framable.
	Thank you, Tantaniel.
	We really appreciate that.
	And we thank all of the artists who are always trying to get something into the system.
	And by the way, if you're having trouble uploading, it has to be the exact dimensions, the exact amount of pixels.
	That's why it might reject your artwork.
	And so we come to the treasure portion.
	We thank everybody, $50 and above.
	And of course, if you are fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more, we will not only read your note, we got some long ones today, but we will also give you an official Hollywood title of Associate Executive Producer, which is real.
	You can go to imdb.com.
	You'll see a lot of them, over 1,000.
	And if it's $300 or more, then there's a lot of different things that can happen.
	First of all, we'll read your note.
	You become an executive producer.
	And we have the No Agenda International Peace Prize.
	And we see right off the top that we have a couple of people who are in, who are getting ready to receive their international peace prize.
	Do we have a photograph yet of do we have the art image that is on this so people can see it?
	Is that up and available?
	I think we're like front running the campaign.
	Oh, that's coming.
	It's been, we just need to, there's a couple of pieces of gear stuff that needs to be, it was ordered from Amazon or we're just waiting for it.
	Okay.
	Paper.
	No, paper.
	Oh, paper.
	Yes.
	I cleaned up my studio the other day.
	I'm like, wow, I need to hang these up.
	Still have my Commodore I haven't hung up.
	Oh, yeah, you got to hang all this stuff up.
	So we kick it off today with our top executive producer with $1,030.26, which I guess is fees from Momentum Finance LLC in Eden, Utah.
	And the note is short.
	It's always that way.
	Happy Hump Day, dames and gentlemen.
	Well, probably sent it on Wednesday.
	Check out Ad Astra Rev Liptonite.
	Very cryptic, cryptic note here.
	Do you know what this is about?
	No.
	Well, thank you very much, Momentum Finance LLC.
	We will check out Ad Astra Rev Liptonite.
	Thank you.
	The Mayor of Cyprus.
	No note.
	No jingle.
	It came in to $1,018.18.
	It says no note, no nothing for more years, which is a note, by the way.
	That is a note.
	That's an official note.
	Anonymous swings by from Mandeville, Louisiana, 526.36, probably 500 plus the fees.
	Dear Adam and John, Anonymous says, congratulations on making 18 years of the No Agenda show.
	I've been listening since around show 300 or so.
	This donation either gets me close to knighthood or puts me across the finish line, but it's been so long since I've donated, I can't be sure anymore.
	Well, what happened?
	I'm sure you'll let me know.
	Well, you don't have a color, so I guess you didn't quite make it.
	There are too many things that make your show great to list them in a pithy donation email.
	But first among equals is that you play the most primary and secondary source reporting of any news show in the marketplace today.
	Yes, you're both funny.
	The sound quality is great.
	The jingles are fun.
	The producers are top-notch and so on and so forth.
	But the real value is that in a three-hour block of time, a listener more or less gets fully caught up with not just the current news of the day, but all the narratives and memes that increasingly inform that news coverage.
	And you do it without advertising because you've embraced the value-for-value model.
	Not even Joe Rogan can say that.
	One day, the both of you will decide to hang it up.
	And while you'll have certainly earned your retirement, oh, let me check my 401k.
	It'll be a sad day for us listeners.
	Until then, well done, Adam and John.
	Thank you for your continued service.
	P.S. If I've made knighthood, let me know one day and I'll choose some sort of pseudo-anonymous name.
	Well, I'm sure we will be in touch with you about that.
	Thank you, Anonymous.
	All right.
	Onward Sir Cristobal in Dallas, Texas, 33333.
	This came in, I guess, through Strike or Stripe.
	And it's got no note, no nothing.
	So he gets to double up karma.
	Here it comes.
	You've got.
	All right.
	Sarah Campbell is in Franklin, Indiana, 333, our favorite number.
	ITM, gentlemen, happy anniversary.
	Adam, please read this note in your hate mail voice.
	It's hard to do when it's not a hateful email.
	I'll give it a question.
	No, you can only do it.
	He is channeling when he does that voice, and there's nothing here to channel.
	I'm going to try.
	I can try.
	I mean, I just have to envision these.
	Assume that he's being sarcastic about everything.
	Then you can.
	Even though both my husband and I are unpaid air traffic controllers right now, we had to donate because the value we received from Adam's reading of hate mail and JCD's reaction while he reads it.
	I can't speak for my husband, but when I'm listening to the show, not watching some like Silicon Valley nerd, I am laughing and fully enjoying your dynamic.
	This is so hard to do.
	You both.
	You both are invaluable.
	I can't do it.
	I can't do it.
	is not hateful do it with i got a better idea yeah Yeah.
	Do it in the Dutch accent.
	You both are invaluable, but I've taken the time to assign you use the value of tree turty tree in hopes that you'll continue to receive hate mail and share it with us for four more years.
	Anonymous unpaid controller and his wife.
	Thank you very much.
	Can I comment on your Dutch accent?
	Yes.
	I don't think you stutter enough when you do it.
	That's only Rutte.
	The Dutch don't really stutter.
	Rutte stutters.
	Okay.
	Well, so now we go to our first associate executive producer, which brings me to the fact that Dana Brunetti sent a note in for his donation, which I don't see on here.
	Oh, there it is at the bottom.
	I see it.
	Oh, and he gave.
	Okay, I thought the way the note was written, it seemed to me that he was going for executive producer because he hates associate executive producer.
	Yeah, he hates it.
	Well, he didn't send in enough Jew money.
	No, no, he actually said he did it on purpose.
	So he's a character.
	Oh, yeah, believe it or not.
	Meanwhile, Summer Worth, I guess, in Standish, Maine, 21060.
	Yeah.
	ITM Gents, after your recent mention of Maine's Graham Plattner, that's a Nazi tattoo guy.
	Oh, yeah.
	I figured it was my duty to write in and share what I know about the newest Democrat Stooge.
	This past summer, I found myself eating dinner at an establishment in Maine owned by Graham Plattner's mom.
	She chatted with me, chatted me up while I was sitting at the bar as she was preparing for a fundraising event she would be holding for Graham at the restaurant that weekend.
	Per his mom, Graham never had prior interest in politics.
	Oh, this is now this is getting good.
	Oh, here we go.
	But was rather approached by an out-of-state group, quote, the same group that got Mandam Mamdani in.
	Unquote.
	When he told these approachers he had no political experience and had no idea what he would be.
	This is fabulous, by the way.
	This is content right here.
	What he would be doing.
	They reassured him that it didn't matter that they had a template for him to follow and that he was just the kind of guy they were looking for.
	Wow.
	I assume this is because he's a rural Maine-born and raised local business operator, specifically an oyster farmer.
	Mainers have a soft spot for lobstermen slash fishermen, and he's a veteran.
	By those standards, he should appeal to rural Mainers who are largely conservative.
	It's Portland and the Mid-Coast region's coastal elites controlling the vote, as John mentioned.
	Right.
	I noticed that myself.
	I was curious how a random guy like this gets approached in the first place.
	And it turns out his mom was, is a DNC delegate.
	This situation makes me wonder how many other supposed locally grown candidates in other parts of the country are just stooges funded by the same out-of-state group.
	Between Rhino Collins, Corrupt Mills, Plattner, the Nazi, and the rest of these names, I fear that all hope is lost.
	Pray for us.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Love you, Mina.
	Well, 210.60, by the way.
	That's good.
	I wonder how many more.
	Well, the squad is probably all, all of them.
	Who is this out-of-state group?
	That's what we got to find out.
	I mean, it wasn't.
	Yeah, Summer should have pushed for the name of the group.
	Yes, I'm sure it was.
	Summer, go back there and have another meal.
	Same people who did the Democrat Socialists of America, who had AOC literally auditioned for the gig.
	Yeah.
	And there's Eli the Coffee Guy with $210.30.
	That's because he always gives us $200 and then does the date, $10.30.
	Get it?
	He says, not sure if you guys will have clips for this one.
	Apparently, a truck full of lab monkeys infected with herpes, hepatitis C, and COVID crashed in Mississippi, and one of them is still on the run.
	You'd think we've learned something from the last global science experiment.
	Well, as it just so turns out, these monkeys could be dangerous.
	I do have the clips if anyone wants to.
	Yeah, let's play that clip.
	Because first they had them, then they didn't have them, and they had one, they didn't have one, then they had hepatitis, and they didn't.
	Here's the two clips.
	Tonight, the urgent search for dangerous research monkeys that escaped from the wreckage of a crash on a Mississippi highway.
	We got 21 monkeys that was on this video showing several monkeys crawling in the grass.
	Heavily armed officers responding to the scene.
	Authorities say a truck carrying nearly two dozen rhesus monkeys from Tulane University overturned on Interstate 59 in Jasper County.
	Here's one of the monkeys right here.
	There's one sitting right there.
	At least six monkeys escaping.
	Officials warning they might be aggressive towards people and were potentially infected with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.
	They may have to neutralize somebody here in a minute.
	And late today, police confirming all but one of the escaped monkeys had been euthanized for public safety reasons, adding they're still actively searching for that one monkey still on the loose.
	And then later they said, oh, they don't.
	Don't worry.
	Don't worry, everybody.
	He doesn't have herpes, hepatitis, and COVID.
	Don't worry about it.
	None of that's true.
	Go back to play.
	Go back to playing your harpsichord, citizen.
	Everything's fine.
	Yeah, time for monkeypox impox vaccination.
	Anybody?
	Linda Lepatkins up.
	She's in Lakewood College.
	Hold on.
	I got to finish the note.
	Oh, I didn't know.
	Dude, you were so excited to do your read.
	Well, I was ready to go.
	I had been kind of doing some breathing exercises.
	Simmer down.
	Eli the coffee guy goes on and says, but now somewhere in the Delta, there's a monkey giving herpes to a raccoon thanks to some Jamoke with the California CDL.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Oh, brother.
	He wants to kind of get a love my truck and I love what I do.
	I love my truck and I love what I do.

	Hollywood bigwig, Dana Brunetti, proof that real producers in Hollywood listen to this show.
	He's from Golden Cloud Ranch in California.
	$200.
	He's a big spender.
	And he says, still trying to financially recover from my last dinner with John.
	But luckily, I recently received one of those rando checks.
	We refer to them as mailbox money, John.
	Since others keep doing switcheroos and loading me up with crap associate producer credits, this is also a switcheroo.
	It goes to one of the following.
	Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, Hamas, Hitler, or Jeffrey Epstein.
	Choose one so it can be properly updated on IMDb.
	Well, I choose Putin.
	What do you want to choose?
	Yeah, I was thinking Putin too.
	Yeah.
	Adam, you've mentioned that people at your church listen, but I'm not hearing any donations from them.
	So please call them out as douchebags.
	Douchebag.
	Did you think you were going to get me upset, Brunetti?
	Good try.
	Good try, Hollywood boy.
	Happy anniversary, 18th anniversary, boys.
	You're finally legal.
	Okay, I have to get back to plowing fields.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	That was a reference to something I said.
	Yes.
	But thank you, Dana Brunetti.
	It's good to know that you're still listening.
	I know that we keep you sane in that insane world that you travel in.
	So he buys this ranch, which is big, by the way.
	Of course it is.
	And there's gold on the ranch.
	Gold.
	And so he's got this gold, these gold mining, this gold mining gear, and he's already collected enough gold to make a couple of movies.
	Some of the gold rings.
	A couple of movies.
	Well, a couple of movies.
	No, not yet.
	But it's like, this is typical.
	Some people have this kind of Gladstone gander style of, you know, just fall by a ranch, got gold on it.
	You can pay for the ranch.
	You know, I was thinking, someone approached me the other day about doing a movie, movie of my life.
	And I thought, no, Brunetti should do that.
	We should do it like the kid stays in the picture, you know, with the, I'll do the voiceover and do your Ken Burns effects.
	And there's tons of footage and photos out there.
	That's what that, I mean, there you go.
	That's what you should do with his gold is make a movie about me.
	And yes, that's going to happen.
	And yes.
	You can get Scources to do the movie.
	There you go.
	Congratulations to this executive producers of 1812.
	Our formula is this.
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up.
	Oh, I almost forgot.
	We have this one producer who is just adamant, adamant, adamant.
	It's 1812, 1812.
	It's an important episode.
	It's a very important number because of Tchaikovsky's 1812.
	I never realized this was Tchaikovsky's 1812.
	I'm sure you knew it.
	Yeah, I did, but where's the cannons?
	The cannons.
	Oh, there they are.
	There it is.
	It's almost over.
	That's loud.
	When it's performed, the idea is that the cannons usually are there on stage and it really becomes very damaging.
	Here we go.
	Is this what they do on the 4th of July at fireworks?
	Yeah, it's a fireworks.
	Yeah, here we go.
	Finish, everybody.
	Man, that guy had some good drugs.
	How do you write something like that?
	Those days are over.
	AI, make that for me.
	Show me that.
	That's good.
	That's very good.
	Well, I suppose if you put all the classical music ever written into the corpus.
	You think?
	Well.
	You might be able to get something out of it.
	Speaking of.
	Who's doing that?
	Is somebody doing that?
	Somebody has to be doing that.
	I'm sure it's in Susano.
	There's so much classical music that you can put in there.
	Did you see the Grackapedia, the Gracchapedia?
	I've seen the announcements for it.
	I've seen the write-ups about it.
	I have not actually gone to it.
	As far as I'm concerned, Gracopedia is just Grok.
	No, no, no, no.
	It's quite interesting.
	So if you look up No Agenda or you look up John C. Dvorak or Adam Curry, it's so extensive.
	I mean, the corpus has so much about you, me, the show.
	I mean, it's thousands of words.
	And what's interesting about it, it has a lot of obscure things.
	But in every single version of everything I looked up, there's some things that factually are just completely wrong.
	Absolutely.
	There has to be.
	Completely wrong.
	But it's not even that bothersome.
	It's like, wow, that's a nice write-up.
	I had quite a life.
	I can die now.
	It's been nice knowing.
	Well, I did pretty good.
	Oh, I didn't know I did that.
	That's great.
	I did pretty good.
	Brunetti, turn my Grackopedia into a movie.
	You can do it.
	It's amazing.
	Here's something we predicted that would happen.
	Actually, we didn't predict it.
	One of our producers predicted it.
	Get ready for discovery.
	Texas Attorney General Kent Paxton is suing the makers of Tylenol over claims the company deceptively marketed the medication.
	The lawsuit claims the over-the-counter medication was marketed to pregnant women despite alleged links to autism in other disorders.
	This is the first lawsuit launched by the state since President Donald Trump claimed last month that taking Tylenol while pregnant is linked to an increased risk of autism.
	However, there's limited evidence to suggest an association.
	Johnson ⁇ Johnson sold the drug for decades and its consumer health division spin-off, Kenview, has been selling that drug since 2023.
	Kenview pushed back against the claims, calling it misinformation.
	I think this is the setup, man.
	This is the setup.
	This is where Tylenol comes in.
	They say, you know what?
	You say it's us, but it's the vaccine companies.
	That's an interesting theory.
	I think it's coming.
	Pass.
	I like the way Johnson and Johnson seem to have predicted this somewhere along the line and dumped a product into a Monsanto did with Roundup, which they panned off to bear.
	And now they've changed the formulation of Roundup.
	And what's in Roundup Now is worse.
	Oh, well, that might explain this clip.
	This morning, a troubling investigation by the Washington Post finds cancer rates among young adults are rising fastest in the nation's corn belt.
	Causing concerns that farm pollution could be to blame.
	Since 2015, America's top corn-producing states, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas, have all seen an uptick in cancer cases among people ages 15 to 49, particularly kidney and skin cancers.
	But Iowa stands out with the fastest increase in the country.
	Experts say the state is a hotspot for cancer-causing agents.
	The nitrate levels in the raccoon river are twice that of the EPA limit.
	I don't think it's quite right that we have no regulations on how much fertilizer can be dumped in our watershed upstream.
	Studies show nitrate pollution from farming and livestock operations is contaminating Iowa's water and long-term exposure to fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides has been linked to higher cancer risks.
	Environmental groups are now urging the state to strengthen its water standards.
	Agricultural groups worry additional rules for farmers would be costly and could cripple the industry.
	For now, researchers say they're determined to find out if chemical runoff from farms is in fact what's making people sick.
	We really need you to compare to bordering states and states that have similar exposures, specifically thinking about agriculture or industry.
	Experts say better detection tools make it easier to diagnose cancer, but that alone doesn't explain why rates are rising so sharply.
	It's the con.
	It's in the con.
	It's that roundup on the corn.
	You'd think.
	There's definitely something they're spraying.
	Hey, I got to know.
	You know, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what's causing this.
	You just have to know what is being sold.
	Exactly.
	But they seem to be baffled.
	I got to know.
	Oh, it's the nitrate runoff.
	They've always had nitrate runoff.
	It's never going to be no nitrate runoff.
	It can't be that.
	It's something else.
	I got a note from Mark from the Walnut Grove podcast.
	Remember the Walnut Grove podcast?
	Yeah.
	That's about Little House on the Prairie.
	It's a fan podcast.
	Yeah, it's a fan cast.
	It's a fan cast.
	Please don't email me.
	Everyone's like, oh, you love it too?
	I love Little House on the Prairie.
	God.
	And he said, you know, he bought us a domain name.
	This hasn't happened in quite a while.
	People used to buy us domain names all the time.
	Yeah.
	And we had SeanHannity.com at one time, but then the producers said, oh, I let it expire.
	It was so good to have SeanHannity.com.
	He says with MS Now, imminent, MS Now, he bought us msnowflake.com or MSSnow Msnowflake.com, which I thought was very creative.
	That's cute.
	Yeah.
	So thank you, Mark, from the Walnut Grove podcast.
	Very nice.
	Let me get my clip list out.
	Oh, I do.
	You know, we had a, there was a, quite a big hurricane that hit Jamaica.
	Yeah, I have the Melissa update here, but this is after it hit Jamaica.
	I have an update from after as well, so I'll listen to yours first.
	Hurricane Melissa struck eastern Cuba this morning as an extremely dangerous Category 3 storm causing severe damage.
	Cuban authorities report that over 700,000 people have been evacuated in the eastern part of the country.
	By Wednesday evening, Melissa had weakened to a category two and moved into the Atlantic, heading toward the Bahamas with heavy rain and flooding expected.
	Tropical storm warnings for the Turks in Caicos.
	The most dangerous conditions will be in the next few hours here as the center of Melissa moves through the Bahamas.
	Storm surge inundation of four to seven feet above ground level near and to the right of where the center of Melissa is moving.
	Though winds have decreased, officials say dangerous storm surges and rainfall remain a threat as Melissa moves toward the Bahamas and Bermuda.
	At least 36 deaths have been reported across Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
	In Jamaica, the storm knocked out power to more than 600,000 residents, uprooted trees, ripped off roofs, and blocked roads in several parishes.
	One resident shared the terrifying experience as Melissa passed.
	Worst experience of my entire life.
	Hold on, to see my place being flooded out.
	It was terrifying for me and my child.
	The water level reached me to my waist.
	I was stuck in my house.
	They had to break into my home to save me.
	Rebuilding in Jamaica will be a long-term effort, officials say, as homes, hospitals, and infrastructure were heavily damaged and access remains challenging.
	UN officials report that immediate relief efforts are underway, focusing on providing food, water, and other essential supplies.
	So I've been going to Jamaica on vacation for over 30.
	Yeah, over 30 years.
	I've never been to Jamaica.
	I've done documentary.
	There's a documentary of me that I did in Jamaica.
	People on the West Coast, we don't go there.
	Well, the last time I went was just a couple of years ago.
	They had a direct flight from Austin to Montego Bay.
	It was fantastic.
	And of course, they got rid of that flight, which is only three hours, like three and a half hours.
	It's perfect.
	But the thing with Jamaica is, and I would pretty much always go to this, I don't think I've ever been to a different place, always the same place.
	And the last time we went there, people who I'd seen 25 years ago were still there.
	So I consider them to be friends, you know, like, hey, David, how are you doing?
	So I checked in.
	Before the storm hit, I said, hey, man, we're praying for you guys.
	Hope everything's okay.
	So here's the boots on the ground from Jamaica.
	Mr. Corey, I'm alive.
	I'm alive.
	I made it.
	But houses are gone.
	We are out of houses and everything.
	Mr. Curry, it's serious.
	It's devastated.
	I'm telling you.
	I don't know what we're going to do.
	We have no idea, but you know.
	But as long as we have life, we will make it.
	I have to come mass to get some internet.
	So whenever I can get in touch with you again, I will try.
	All right.
	Take care.
	Thank you for thinking about me and my family.
	Appreciate it.
	Sounds pretty dire.
	Pretty bad.
	Well, you know what the Democrats say?
	What do the Democrats say?
	It's all the fault of Trump and because he killed USAID.
	Oh, there it is.
	Yes, of course.
	That makes sense.
	That makes sense.
	Word of the year, according to dictionary.com.
	They have a word of the year, too.
	Everybody has a word of the year.
	This is really disappointing.
	6'7.
	Oh, no, that's not true.
	Yes, yes.
	But that's lame.
	Of course it's lame.
	Dictionary.com has officially revealed its newest word of the year.
	6'7 is the word of the year.
	Got a note from one of our producers.
	I'd like to give a quick homeschooling commentary, says Garbage Man Mitch, on the 67 phenomenon.
	Homeschooled kids that are not overly socialized with access to phones and social media don't suffer from this stupidity.
	Yet.
	I'd like to give a loving shout out to our principal, my wife, Melissa, who is very pregnant with human resource number six.
	She is cripplingly nauseous and miserable, so the older kids have been forced to step up and help more.
	The other day, our oldest, nearly 12, was tasked with making soup entirely unaided.
	There were mishaps as she sauteed vegetables and simmered bacon.
	The potatoes were crunchy.
	I have no doubt she'll compare techniques and recipes with grandma, great-grandma, and her mother when she can think of food again.
	I suggest homeschooling accreditation as a future fundraiser.
	Seems to me that if you can award doctorates, then you are more than qualified to accredit our schools.
	The family that learns and know a genus together triumphs and stays together.
	Well, there's an interesting idea.
	I like that thought.
	Homeschooling.
	So homeschooling.
	Well, of course, it only appears.
	I mean, everyone who listens to the show might want to be a Commodore.
	Everyone who listens to the show might want to have a rando PhD.
	But not everybody who listens to the show are homeschoolers.
	That's a very small portion of people.
	But it might be just enough to do a short promotion sometime early next year.
	Okay.
	Garbage Man Mitch, we love you.
	Great idea.
	Excellent idea.
	And even if you're not a homeschooler, it might be pretty cool just to ask.
	Hey, the trial is finally happening.
	Will we find out?
	Is there a roving bit in the middle?
	After years of online attacks and malicious rumors, 10 people are on trial for sexy cyber harassment against French First Lady Brigitte Macron.
	Eight men and two women are accused of making false online claims about Brigitte Macron's sexual and gender identity and suggesting that her 24-year age gap with her husband Emmanuel Macron made her a pedophile.
	If convicted, the defendants aged from 41 to 60 years old each face up to two years in prison.
	Among them is Aurélien Poisson Atlan, a publicist known online as Zoé Sagan.
	Before his account was suspended, he was popular within conspiracy theory circles on X.
	The First Lady has since taken the case to the country's highest appeals court.
	The French case is a separate from a defamation lawsuit that the presidential couple filed in a Delaware court against the far-right podcaster Candice Owens, making similar unsubstantiated claims about Brigitte Macron.
	Owens produced series titled Becoming Brigitte, Obsessing Over the First Lady's Gender.
	The Macrons say that they plan to present scientific and photographic evidence to prove that the First Lady is biologically a woman.
	Yeah.
	Scientific and photographic evidence.
	Oh, that'll be-So I find it fascinating that certain people, and I would put Big Mike in this category, are targets of this sort of, it's a smear campaign, whether she's a male or not.
	Shmear.
	It's a smear campaign of some sort, and it's very interesting how it catches on because you could probably say the same.
	I mean, I think that Spanberger, whatever her name is, she looks like a dude to me, the one running for governor of Virginia.
	You need to move to Fredericksburg with that talk.
	Everybody's a dude, according to people here.
	Taylor Swift is a dude.
	Taylor Swift's a dude.
	Another dude.
	Barbara Bush was a dude.
	Over and over again.
	Yeah, I think there's some, but it's like, why do some of these assertions catch on and other ones don't?
	Well, do you have any theories?
	No, I have no theories on this.
	I think because it's just funny.
	It's funny.
	Well, it is.
	There's something funny about it.
	That's funny.
	But it's like, I think there has to be something about the person who's being targeted that is at some level someone that's easy to dislike.
	Now, people love Michelle Obama, but not everybody.
	Not everybody.
	And I think she might be easy to dislike.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, they said the same about Barack.
	Well, with Barack Obama, see, he never.
	Well, maybe it's more of an insult to the guy.
	Maybe the target is really Barack and Macron himself.
	Hmm.
	Well, it's an insult to them.
	Well, Barack, I mean, man, but I think that was, you know, there's a lot of stuff about him being gay.
	I mean, that seems to be pretty much true.
	And because we don't know that.
	Well, we don't know that, but yet Larry, what was his name?
	Yeah, Larry Larry.
	He was dead.
	Died.
	Larry Sinclair.
	Larry Sinclair.
	He detailed it very.
	And Love Boy or whatever his name was, who was actually working in the White House.
	Remember that guy?
	What was his name?
	Love Boy.
	No, it was Love Boy.
	Oh, no.
	His last name was Love.
	It was.
	Yeah, it was Love.
	And he's a little, very feminine black man.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, he wasn't little.
	He was a big dude.
	He wasn't a small.
	Oh, I thought he was a little cheap male.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Yeah, but I don't know.
	I mean, why does this stick?
	Because we're obsessed with nonsense.
	How about that?
	We are.
	Because that's just true.
	We're obsessed with nonsense.
	That's just who we are as a people.
	We're Americans.
	That's what we do.
	We go crazy.
	Well, it'll be interesting to see how Candace Owens' lawsuit goes.
	I don't know why she's on that kick.
	Well, I disagree with the report.
	It was not unsubstantiated.
	She had a lot of substance to her reporting.
	A lot.
	And, you know, recently that little bit came out about her name being registered as Jean-Michel.
	It'll be unless she pulls down her pants in court, it'll never be resolved.
	Well, even.
	So let's go back to the W, the credit card, the food stamp issue.
	Okay.
	Is this your last one?
	I want to play this clip because this is an interesting clip.
	This is a Florida.
	This is a fraud clip.
	Oh, yeah.
	Which is a WTF clip of sorts.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm fumbling my cues.
	Go on.
	Yes.
	Walked in one by one.
	Some hung their heads.
	Others wore their feelings right there on their t-shirts.
	Today, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office announced an undercover operation they've been working on for months resulted in more than 100 arrest warrants and close to 40 arrests.
	This is a huge problem.
	And we're like one of maybe three or four law enforcement agencies in the state of Florida that have decided to do something about this.
	And it has to do with just that.
	Meal tickets in the form of EBT cards for low-income individuals being fraudulently used.
	One part of the investigation centered around Gerald Millis, a local restaurant owner who police say purchased EBT cards from people for 50 to 60 cents on the dollar and then stopped his local Pizza Pros restaurant with food he bought using those cards.
	We were able to determine that he used 53 different EBT cards at Sam's Club.
	Police say 55 people were also caught illegally selling their EBT cards to undercover detectives.
	A couple of them said, I'm headed to go get some rock cocaine.
	A beyond frustrating reality for taxpayers who today learned their hard-earned money is being misused.
	Yeah, all kinds of Social Security has always been controversial.
	Yeah, this whole thing's, but what's interesting about this clip is this clip is from 2013.
	Yeah, oh, yeah.
	And I looked into this Manatee County stuff.
	They did this same staying operation in 2012.
	They did it in 2013.
	And I can't find any evidence of them ever doing it again.
	Something changed.
	And I think they were, somebody came up to them and said, you've got to stop doing this.
	These cards are used.
	Yes, people are buying crack with them and whatever.
	This is what we want.
	Well, how about this?
	When, because in the, I think the one big beautiful bill, I believe that there has been a slash of SNAP benefits, particularly qualification, which the states have to do, just like the Medicare benefits.
	It's like, hey, we got to clamp down on this.
	There's a lot of fraud going on.
	We got to figure this out.
	But it is my suspicion that the big box stores like Walmart, Target, and others who also sell food, that their prices are just like insurance, that they're kind of artificially inflated because of this money, just the way like tuition.
	Now, once we got student loans handled by the government, tuitions went through the roof.
	Once we got Obamacare, which has subsidies for health insurance, insurance goes through the roof.
	You have this prolonged EBT snap, which is going directly into mainly Walmart, big box stores.
	It may actually artificially have inflated the price and it may become a problem for them.
	Does that make any sense?
	Well, I don't know if their prices are higher at Walmart, but the fact that these stores are the target, in fact, the people complaining about losing their SNAP benefits are all mentioning they're going to rob from Walmart with very few exceptions.
	It's always Walmart that's the target of the robbery and Walmart's taking action, which we mentioned earlier in the show.
	It's possible that there's some collusion going on, but it seems to me that, and maybe if it wasn't for these cars, Walmart wouldn't even be in business.
	That's always possible.
	And there are examples of people who've talked about this one woman was on, I don't have the clip.
	I've got to get too many of these clips.
	You get irked.
	Some woman complaining, and she's a lot of these women are bragging about how they're using this system.
	And one of them says, I bought a rice cooker using the EBT card, which I think is actually not a bad idea.
	But at the same time, it's supposed to be for food only, but she managed to do it.
	And she did it through either Walmart or cost.
	I'll bet it's Target because Target started selling food, which I always thought was strange.
	Target didn't used to sell food.
	Now they have a whole grocery division.
	That's true.
	That's an interesting point.
	And you're right.
	And Target's never, to me, seemed like a food store.
	And every single time I've been in a Target, it's empty.
	I've never seen it except on Black Friday, but I don't go out on Black Friday, but it always seems empty to me.
	I'm like, how did these people stay in business?
	Never seems busy.
	Never seems too busy.
	There's something fishy about it.
	Your no agenda detectives are on the case.
	Yeah, we won't figure it out either.
	No, we won't.
	But the fact that they had this scam and this reports from 2013, and there's nothing since it could have been, obviously, this is the way you go.
	You're some poor guy and you got a card that you get somehow and you can sell it for 50 cents on the dollar and have some cash, which is king, by the way.
	This has to be going on everywhere.
	Give me one last clip, Johnny Boy, and then we'll get out of here.
	We've got a lot of fun stuff to do.
	We've got peace prizes to hand out.
	We've got great AI end of show mixes, except for Oystein Berge, who is the real deal.
	He's the real deal.
	He's just like you, by the way.
	He's the real deal.
	And of course, your tip of the day.
	And the first time I'll be reading the donors, $50 and above.
	I'm very excited about my new task.
	Well, let's just go to shutdown blather on NTD.
	The Republican leadership thanked essential workers who are still on the job without pay.
	They pointed out that the largest union of federal workers, as well as the National Association of Air Traffic Controllers, have come out this week urging Democrats to pass the short-term funding bill.
	Meanwhile, Democratic leadership is accusing Republicans of refusing affordable health care for Americans.
	They say Republicans, including President Trump, should come to the negotiating table on health care.
	I have a request from our air traffic controller producers.
	We have a lot of them, which I always love that.
	And I've never actually spoken to one on the radio, at least not one that's gone, hey, hey, in the morning to you.
	They do that with each other and other pilots, you know, like ITM, they'd say.
	ITM, yeah.
	We were supposed to go on vacation for five days in three weeks from now, just before Thanksgiving, with some friends of ours.
	And the women folk are very worried that we will not be able to return or that there may be an issue with flights or that it's just going to be basically a nightmare.
	Yeah, I think they're probably correct.
	And which is so there's consideration of canceling said vacation, which I'm okay with.
	I mean, I'm happy.
	You can always go on a vacation.
	You can always take a vacation.
	But it's not.
	Can always.
	Yeah.
	I mean, we're podcasters.
	We can do whatever we want.
	We can go take a vacation whenever you want.
	We're going to do a vacation whenever we feel like it.
	I'd like to know what our ATC producers are feeling.
	Like, will there be a real...
	I mean, I'm seeing news reports, but, you know, who knows?
	So let me know.
	Let me know what you think.
	I think it's technically illegal for ATC to not show up for work, but there's sick days and there's all kinds of stuff.
	Yeah, they can take their, they have time out.
	When you work for the government, you always build up a lot of free time.
	And they deserve it, by the way.
	They deserve it because it's a tough job.
	It's a challenging job.
	In fact, I'm too old to be an air traffic controller, I found out.
	I'm like, I'll step in.
	I can talk on the radio.
	I can step in.
	Step in.
	Come on, November Day.
	Hey, 4147, you got a bogey on your left.
	Bogey.
	I'm going to show my saloon by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do this.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
	Oh, no agenda.
	Bogey.
	In the morning.
	That would be legendary.
	You got a bogey at 3 o'clock.

	It's only about 15 minutes in change.
	Ah, so this is why he sent me the big finale.
	Thank you.
	Roundtable requests change up.
	Rent boys and Riesling.

	John Alberini with a 6'7 plus fees.
	Tyler Darrington, Las Vegas, Nevada, 6'7, 6'7.

	Hello, John.
	Hello, Adam Tal from Berlin here.
	We have five people, including me, who showed up for this Berlin meetup.
	Went much better than the last time around.
	Really lovely people.
	We've had all sorts of interesting, engaging conversation.
	We've already started a signal group where we'll spam each other, I'm sure.
	And I'll pass it along.
	Be kind to one another.
	And happy birthday.
	In the morning.
	In the morning, Adam and John.
	He's Augusto de Britalien, also Secretary General of Sao Paulo.
	And I'm happy to meet awake people that's here, like in the zombie land of Berlin.
	So, yeah, that's it.
	Four more years.
	All right.
	You forgot to add your server.
	That would have been fun to hear a German server, but we'll let you slide on that one.
	I'm glad that there's five people there.
	And, you know, let us know what you think of Naomi.
	That would be good to know.
	Somehow, this one got lost.
	This is the 68th meetup of the Flight of the No Agendas.

	Yeah, Leo Bravo always packs him in, man.
	There's a lot of producers in Los Angeles.

	Plenty of meetups still to come in November, including international ones such as Zurich, Switzerland, and what, No Netherlands anymore?

	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You to be where you want me, triggered all hell aim.
	You to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Stay tuned for some dynamite end of show mixes soon to be featured on our stream.
	I haven't really gotten a good name for the stream yet.
	Here's some.
	I got some examples here.
	One will come.
	I got V for V, value for vibes, Generation.
	K1000.
	Let me check.
	Homeless.
	I think I gave that one up.
	Well, it was a .fm.
	It's expensive.
	The.fms are like $100.net.
	K1000.
	Oh, I have.
	Oh, do I still have it?
	No, I don't.
	I don't.
	K1.
	That's not really a good name.
	If it was something we had.
	The Music Matrix.
	No Agenda Beats.
	The best music in the year.
	What?
	No Agenda Beats should be a recipe.
	Hey, before we get to that, we do have John's tip of the day and a couple of ISOs.
	I see you only brought one to the party today.
	Yeah, I brought one.
	I have four, so I'll play mine and we'll see what you came up with.
	Here's my first one.
	It was a huge success.
	Here's the next one.
	That's just totally freaky.
	Okay.
	And this one.
	This isn't real.
	This cannot be real.
	Kind of like that one.
	It's cute.
	And then these people are deeply, deeply weird.
	Come on, man.
	Come on.
	That's exactly.
	No, that's no good.
	It's just disparaging.
	I don't think that's good.
	Disparaging for the show.
	All right, what do you have?
	I got the classic.
	Okay, here we go.
	Yep.
	The show is too long.
	And of course, that is the winner.
	But before we get to the long part, here's John's tip of the day.
	Green fires for you and me, just the tip with JCD.
	And sometimes Adam.
	Yeah, the show is too long.
	Okay, this is a very interesting tip.
	And anyone who adopts this process and starts using these things will forever use them.
	That's the way to go.
	Okay.
	It's called, and there's what, there's a couple brands, but the one I'm going to cite is the WAGO, W-A-G-O.
	And I'm talking about the WAGO lever nuts.
	Lever nuts.
	Which is also called a WAGO lever connector.
	And these are little devices that you, you know how when you splice wires, you tend to take the two wires.
	You got two wires.
	You want to slice them together.
	You put them against each other and you twist and twist and turn them around.
	So then you put some electrical tape around it.
	And you've got your wire sticks.
	Wait, wait, don't you have one of those orange things you twist on top of it?
	You could, but it's nothing compared to these little orange things, which are, you open the levers, you stick a wire in one side, a wire in the other, flip the levers down.
	The thing's solid, rock solid.
	It's one of the greatest little, for anyone who works with wiring, this is and is not a pro, and you don't want to solder the wires.
	This is the way to go.
	This is a very interesting product, very good product.
	People should always have a lot of fun.
	What do they have?
	It's called again the levernuts.
	W-A-G-O Levernut.
	Levernut.
	I want to take a look at this product.
	Waggo Levernut Series 220.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	And now, when have you recently been putting wires together?
	When you have a fixture in the ceiling, this is the perfect time to use them because once you use, because you got wires you got to, you know, deal with over your head and the ceiling.
	No, no, no.
	You want these things.
	Oh, this is good.
	They have, oh, wow.
	They even have the 221 series for hazardous locations.
	And the thing is that these things are also built like little Legos so they can click together.
	Together.
	That is what I would call an outstanding tip of the day.
	Dad, gentlemen, spine them all at tipoftheday.net.
	Green fast for you and me.
	Just the chip with JCD.
	And sometimes Adam.
	Created by Dana Bernetti.
	Good tip, John.
	Good tip.
	Tipoftheday.net is turning out to be quite the resource for people who like stuff.
	Who likes stuff?
	You like stuff?
	Go there.
	And I'm on my second bottle of Robert Mondavi, and I'm loving it.
	Another fantastic tip of the day.
	It's all good.
	I love it.
	I'm not drinking during the show.
	Huh?
	No, I'm not, but it's about to start.
	And I'll start during Planet Rage as Darren O'Neal and Larry with the deep voice pick up the no agenda pieces and rage out together.
	It's good.
	It's up next on NoAgendastream.com.
	End of show mixes.
	Sir Joho, we've got clip custodian Neil Jones, Osteen Baga with a classic and original.
	And Bri bringing you kind of a mix of a little bit of Halloween type vibes.
	And I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country where everybody's a dude.
	Fredericksburg.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, going to remind everybody that next show, we have a time change.
	We're going back to regular standard time.
	I'm John C. DeVora.
	That's right.
	Listen up, Europeans.
	Remember us at NoAgendadonations.com until Sunday.
	Adios Mofos a hooee-hoo-ee and such.
	Both Bill and I are deeply concerned.
	We're deeply concerned.
	Deeply concerning, of course.
	Reports are coming in.
	They might be true.
	They might be trending.
	We're deeply concerned.
	Well, deeply concerned.
	Experts are uncertain, but the concern is never ending.
	We're all deeply concerned.
	Deeply concerned.
	Deeply concerned.
	It's deeply concerning.
	As an American who's deeply concerned with the direction of our nation.
	We've reached out for comment.
	Deeply concerned about the ethical implications.
	We've reviewed the footage.
	Still concerned.
	Calling it deeply concerning.
	Deeply concerned.
	But I was so deeply concerned about what a Trump presidency might look like.
	I'm deeply concerned.
	Two different dudes and then there's the guy with the mask.
	Or they all have masks.
	I don't know.
	People have a hard time believing it, but the mask thing is real.
	I mean, there's real masks that will fool you.
	I gotta hand it to you, kids.

	And the wars are ending.
	I'm gonna send a text to you.
	It's the witching hour, and you should be in bed.
	The world is shut down, but you work instead.
	When the dead is rising and the bank is dry, the wolves in the capital are howling at the sky.
	The elites got their places with blood and lies.
	They come after our children with greed in their eyes.
	They make our lives intolerable and laugh at the pain.
	How we keep collecting them into office again There's a snake oil commercial on my TV They slither into news and shows, spreading new disease.
	The people we entrusted with our welfare are banking on our sickness and the war in the air.
	The elites got their places with blood and lies.
	They come after our children with greed in their eyes.
	They make our lives intolerable and laugh at the pain.
	But oh, we keep electing them in office again.
	Audios, Mofo.
