Oh, duh.
Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.
This is your award-winning Gilman Asian Media Assassination Episode 1709.
This is no agenda.
Cueing up for the election and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas civil country right here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we would like to see Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad.
It's daylight savings time.
No!
I'm John C.
Devorah.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Wow, aren't we animated this morning?
Huh.
You can't say those things on television.
They said it.
They were the one.
Everyone was saying it but Trump.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I think it was a wishful thinking.
It was unbelievable.
I don't even, do you have a clip of that?
I don't even have a clip of it.
No, I don't.
I mean, it may be some subclips.
It was so stupid.
It may be within a clip but.
It is.
Just to round it up for everybody, Trump said that Cheney was a war hawk and she would feel differently if she was at war holding one rifle with a bunch of rifles pointed at her.
Nine, nine, nine, nine of them.
Nine.
Nine rifles pointed at her head.
And so the media says Trump wants Cheney in front of a firing squad.
Oh, I don't know how you got from A to B but that's what they did.
I have to play this ad.
It's, I mean, what is happening?
As if the mainstream M5M hasn't decredited themselves enough already.
I mean, it's so blatant.
Anybody who is not completely under MKUltra mind control can see that they're taking this.
Or on the P Diddy party list.
And so this comes, this was, this video, and the audio is good enough.
The video is quite good.
It's an AI job where they made Trump look old and Vance look old.
And you just have to envision the entire thing is dark dystopian.
It starts off with a group of what I think are not just Democrats but really this is aimed at Republicans.
Young people voting Republican, let me put it that way.
And, you know, there's fires and they're sitting in a little circle, you know, sharing a little morsel of bread amongst each other.
Because the whole world has burned down around them.
And it's their own fault.
We weren't always like this.
We had a beautiful life.
The best parties.
The most beautiful friends.
We thought it was just another election.
So a lot of us didn't vote.
Why bother?
Everyone knew the system was rigged.
Many of us even voted for them.
I know it sounds crazy now, but we didn't like Democrats back then.
We were angry about the vaccine mandates.
And how they handled the war in Gaza.
And the way they wanted to censor free speech on the internet.
So what did we end up doing?
We voted for the guys who openly said they wanted to imprison dissenters.
And use the military against their political opponents.
So yeah, we were wrong on that.
Big time.
When Trump got sick and died, Vance was 39 years old when he became president.
30 years later, he's still president today.
And with the Supreme Court on his side, they gave him dictatorial powers.
They took away women's reproductive rights, outlawed contraception, and removed the minimum wage.
Then we had repression of dissent.
AI surveillance of everything we did or said on a level we couldn't imagine.
The government under Vance, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk set up concentration camps for illegal immigrants.
Then legal immigrants, and even homeless people.
They finally admitted climate change was real, but it was too late.
Florida sank into the Gulf, and the West burned.
And cities across the country became uninsurable, then uninhabitable.
Musk and Thiel poured all of our resources into artificial intelligence.
So they and their friends could become immortal.
I don't know what happened to them.
But I know what happened to us.
You might die.
Oh no.
So I guess JJ Abrams is still doing work for the Democrats.
Even the voice was AI.
Everything was AI.
There were credits at the end.
The tag was for vote.org.
So, you know, if anything, it was kind of fun.
The true unaffiliated PAC advertisement, which is from progressinamerica.org, I believe, is another one of those.
I'm your Republican congressman.
Here it comes.
Dr. Davis, what do I do?
John, she needs an abortion, or she's going to die from the pregnancy.
Sorry, that's not happening.
What are you doing?
Who are you?
I'm your Republican congressman.
Now that we're in charge, we banned abortion.
No exceptions.
You can't do this.
She's dying.
I won the last election.
So it's my decision.
But don't worry.
You can still have children.
Just not with her.
Oh man.
Wow.
Sick, sick, sick people.
They're really swinging for the fences.
Oh, it's fantastic.
Now, luckily, luckily, everybody got distracted.
We have an update on a story that we told you about earlier.
A squirrel that was seized in western New York earlier this week.
On Eyewitness News this morning, we told you about Peanut, who has a big global following on social media.
Well, we just learned it was euthanized after biting someone.
It's now being tested for rabies.
His owner, Mark Longo, says officers raided his home, taking Peanut and other animals.
Longo runs a sanctuary in western New York, housing horses, goats, and other animals.
But it's against New York state law to own a wild animal without a license.
And after receiving several complaints and fearing the unsafe housing of wildlife that could carry rabies, agents stepped in, took the squirrel, and have euthanized it.
They're killing the squirrels.
What about the raccoon?
They also took his raccoon.
They're eating the dogs.
I mean, we all need to lighten up, people.
Just lighten up.
Oh, it's crazy.
Poor Peanut.
Yes, Peanut.
How did it bite someone?
Was it out roaming around?
Nah, I don't know.
Hitchhiking?
What was this squirrel doing?
Okay, okay, okay.
You have now twisted my arm.
It wasn't enough just to play that.
I will play the ABC Good Morning America report.
A social media star has been seized by authorities.
Seized and killed.
Upstate New York, and his fans are going nuts.
Oh, nice, nice little pun there, ABC.
And his fans are going nuts.
Get it?
Seized by authorities in upstate New York, and his fans are going nuts.
To take Peanut away from my family is not only, you know.
It's our income.
Heart-wrenching, but then you take it away from the organization that solely gets its funding from social media that requires Peanut to get that funding.
Mark Longo says officers raided his home, taking his pet squirrel, Peanut, and his raccoon, Fred.
Fred, Fred.
Longo runs a sanctuary, housing horses, goats, and alpacas, and says he relies on these social media videos to raise money.
But it's against New York law to own a wild animal without a license.
The Department of Environmental Conservation says It received multiple reports about the potentially unsafe housing of wildlife that could carry rabies.
My next step is to be contacted.
You know, DEC, the state, nobody has reached out to me to say anything.
I don't know if Peanut is alive or they euthanized him.
Longo says he rescued Peanut seven years ago after its mother got hit by a car and says Peanut came back after being released.
He questions whether all this was even necessary.
I know the laws are the laws and the rules are the rules, but the fact of the matter is they brought eight officers here who ransacked my house for a squirrel and a raccoon.
Yeah.
It's sad.
This is all so wrong.
Eight officers ransacked the house to take a squirrel and a raccoon.
What are we doing?
You can't write this stuff.
No.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, government?
This is Kathy Hochul.
Okay, you bring up Hochul.
Let's go straight.
I got a Hochul clip, too.
I got a 23-second teaser.
It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump and remind everybody if you're voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and you're anti-woman, you're anti-abortion, and basically you're anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about.
But you're anti-squirrel.
American values are about abortion.
That's what this country is all about.
No, no.
That's what they're all about, people like Kathy Hochul.
That was my clip.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that was your clip.
No, it's okay.
You got the clip.
You beat me to it.
You're holding the controls.
You're steamrolling me.
Here we go.
Here we go with the steamrolling accusations.
Okay.
I want to hear more squirrel clips.
I have to disappoint you.
I don't have more squirrel clips.
But I do have a couple of series.
It's funny that I never picked up a squirrel clip because I knew for some reason, some subconscious reason, I said, you know, Adam's going to get these squirrel clips.
Of course.
And can we just complain briefly for a moment about the elites of the world stealing our light or saying they have control over our light when we can have our light, when we have to give up our light.
Oh, use some light back to you.
I'm so sick of this daylight saving.
The daylight saving time.
Oh, the daylight savings thing, yeah.
Yeah, they're stealing it.
They're stealing our light.
Or, you know, or giving out a little morsel.
Or giving us light.
Give us more light.
I don't know.
Give us a little morsel.
I slept an extra hour, and so it didn't do me any good one way or the other.
Usually on these days, you're a little grumpy because either you didn't sleep enough or you slept too much.
You're kind of like a newborn that way.
So before we get into some of the crazier stuff here, I received a number of complaints.
A number of complaints.
Okay.
Why do you think that it's not going to happen?
The grid's going to go down.
Don't you know this is real?
You're kidding.
Even worse.
You're obfuscating everything.
You have changed the great reset to the season of reveal.
Oh, yeah, we know what you're up to, Curry.
Season of reveal.
Well, I'm against that, too, so put me in with those guys.
Well, that's just too bad.
What season are we talking about?
Well, a season can last for a day.
It can last for a year.
It's an ongoing process.
It could last for an epoch.
Yes, it's an ongoing process.
All is being revealed.
Nothing that is hidden will stay hidden.
It's just not going to be that way.
That'll be the day.
I got some great clips from you already.
This is fantastic.
So here it is.
Where does it all come from?
Because if you hear Bongino, if you hear all of these guys just go, You know, I don't know.
It's not that I only listen to Bongino in the car if I'm going to the store.
So I haven't heard him for a while, and I find it hard to believe that Bongino is in on this.
Another ex-kind of Intel guy, ex-Social Security.
Hello, I'm Dan Bongino, Social Security agent.
No, he was, what is it?
Secret Service.
Secret Service, thank you.
So I'm led to believe that this is all coming from Q, who, as you know, has always been right.
Q.
Q's been right all along.
The guy that was on Star Trek.
You know exactly who Q is.
Well, Q is like Satoshi Nakamoto.
We're not quite sure who Q is.
So Q is saying, Prepare for zero-day massive cyber power attacks and attempts on 11-4.
On what?
Yeah, on November 4th.
It's all going down tomorrow.
That's when everything goes out.
Tomorrow?
Monday?
Yes, yes.
This is when the grid's going to go down.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
You know, the funny thing is, I would actually be inclined to believe something like this if they had actually done what they keep wanting to do, which is make the grid one giant operation so you can flip one switch, the whole country would go down.
But no, these are all independent little grids.
They don't go down as a whole.
It's not possible.
You can get a cascading effect like you had back in New York, back in the day.
Well, even then.
Or, you know, one station goes down and a whole bunch of them go down, so you have a blackout.
No.
Even then, as long as you don't have an event like a flood, I mean, the cell towers will stay up.
They're all powered by—they all have solar.
They have some generator backup power.
Yeah, they have to fall over.
Yeah, Skynet, Elon's thing, Starlink, that'll stay up.
Skynet, yes.
Elon's Skynet's going to be there.
Excuse me, Elon.
Get it right.
I'm going to have trouble with that, but I'm going to try to get to Elon.
Elon.
Well, you know what?
It's actually catching on.
Elon, you know, he was being sued or had to go to court, I guess, because of his $1 million giveaway.
And so I think it was—was it the governor who wanted him to go to court?
But just listen, this is a short report.
He did not show up to court.
And, spoiler, there's been no decision.
In true Halloween spirit, Elon Musk has been treating the world to a few tricks.
And his latest?
Hide and seek.
The billionaire decided to skip his scheduled court hearing in Pennsylvania, a state widely acknowledged to hold the keys to the Oval Office.
This morning, DA Krasner was here to testify.
Elon Musk didn't show.
He kind of says Elon.
Not quite.
Musk's electoral lottery scheme was under scrutiny for potentially violating state gaming laws.
The case was not based on national electoral regulation, but rather Pennsylvania's legislation against illegal lotteries and deceiving consumers.
On Mischief Night.
Mischief Night.
Elon Musk.
Yeah, there he said Elon.
He said Elon.
And deceiving consumers.
On Mischief Night.
Elon Musk and his PAC, Ameripac, filed legal papers to have the case removed from this court to federal court, and we will proceed to federal court.
Go get him!
Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled that the case should be put on hold whilst the federal court considers taking up the lawsuit.
For the time being, the show can go on.
Oh, but that wasn't the only thing happening.
Oh, there's so much going on.
John Fetterman.
After J.D. Vance, who was on Rogan, which was quite interesting.
Did you see any of that?
Not really.
I saw clips.
I didn't watch it.
It was pretty good.
Yeah, well, Vance is good.
You see him here and there, and he's quite talented.
He's a very good talker.
Yeah, Tina was not a fan.
He's quick on his feet.
He's not like, he doesn't stumble, bumble, or mumble.
He came very personable, and they went into quite depth, quite some depth, and he would make a fine 49th president after, of course, Joe Biden is eliminated before January 20th so Kamala Harris can be the first female president then Trump can get.
I've heard that, but I think because of what I have coming up here in these clips, I don't think Biden's going to do that.
All right, let me just play this Rogan clip.
This is not J.D. Vance.
This is Fetterman.
Who let that guy out, especially onto the Rogan show?
They did a good number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year.
I think it was 2 million people.
So it was still the same sort of situation, and their fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states, and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever.
Well, I'm not really sure if that's what's in play.
I think it's really important that we have an honest conversation.
But doesn't that seem logical, though?
If you have a significant number of people
that are being moved into swing states
that have come across the border illegally,
and then you've provided them with all these services,
you provided them with food stamps, EBT,
you provided them with housing,
you could, if you gave those people amnesty
and allowed those people to vote,
and it was very organized,
you're talking about 75,000 votes over a few counties
that switched everything over to the Republicans,
you could see how you import 10 million people
over the course of four years, illegally,
and then move a significant number of them to swing states
and then provide them with all these services
and then give them a path to citizenship.
You could essentially rig those states.
Undeniably.
Immigration is changing our nation.
I mean, I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, but it's very clear that immigration has remade Texas.
Undeniably.
Then he talks about Texas being screwed over.
Texas going blue.
All right, go for your clips.
That ain't going to happen, by the way.
No, they always say that.
We've heard it for five cycles in a row.
All right, go for your sequence.
And of course, Cruz uses it as campaign rhetoric so he can get more money.
I am sick of Cruz.
I like Cruz.
I don't care what you think.
Hey, I still think he's good for what he does, but his text message is like, I'm in the fight of my life.
I don't get to see any of that crap.
Mimi somehow got on the Harris message thing on the phone.
Somehow she donated.
No, I don't know.
It's because she's in Washington state.
They assume everyone there's a Democrat.
But she gets these phone messages, and I told her whatever she does not to unsubscribe or do anything.
Now, I, of course, never get any of these phone messages.
I don't understand that.
Because your phone is in the drawer.
Yeah, so?
As far as the campaigning companies are concerned.
Your phone has to be out?
You're inactive.
You're an inactive user.
They think that you may...
They've taken you off the list.
Oh, that guy's dead.
To them?
Yeah, to them.
So she'll get like 10 a day.
Oh, she's on the low rotation list.
And she sends them.
I said, send me a bunch of them.
I want to look at them, because I wanted to deconstruct the sales pitch.
The sales pitch is poor, man.
It's poor.
It's amateur hour.
Who's writing the copy?
Try to find someone who knows what they're doing.
And I explained to Mimi a couple of the basic rules of how to present the sales letter.
And it was like, they are just screwing the pooch with this junk.
They need to be sending pictures of very sad puppies.
They've got it all wrong.
Yeah, we're going to have to be doing that pretty soon.
By the way, I'm pretty convinced...
I never click on any of the links.
I'm pretty convinced at least half of those are scammers.
You think you're donating to a campaign and you're donating to China or something.
I'm not so sure they're all legit.
Oh, that's an interesting possibility.
Why not?
The logic is they want $47.
And Mimi's just baffled.
Why 47?
They usually want five bucks chipped in.
She doesn't understand 47?
She doesn't understand the 47?
Well, tell me.
I don't understand it either.
47th president.
Oh, duh.
Pretty much a no agenda trick right there.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
So now you know, when we do stuff like that, people are going, $33?
Why?
What's $33?
That's a number.
There's a reason for that.
All right.
47.
The way they present it though, it's not as though she's...
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Well, let me know about Biden.
Why is he not going anywhere?
Here's Blago on Biden.
Blago is back.
So Blago's been on Gutfeld too.
So Blago, who was pardoned, well, he's commuted by Trump.
He was not pardoned.
Well, explain who he is for newbies.
Rod Blagojevich was the governor of Illinois who was caught supposedly, he claims this is bullcrap.
He was just casually chatting on the phone with somebody and his phone line was tapped for some unknown reason by the feds.
By Obama.
Maybe.
And he was supposedly auctioning off Obama's seat because he was a senator and he had to quit to run for president.
And so Blago, which is his nickname, decided to auction off the seat.
Oh, you know, and he's talking to somebody.
This is a gold mine.
We're going to make a lot of money on this deal.
To one of his buddies.
And they put it on tape and guilty.
So they sent him to prison for 14 years for just making the comment.
They can't prove he did anything.
That's excellent.
And so he was pissed about that.
And nobody would do anything about it.
So Trump commuted him in 2020, I think.
And so Blago, I think, feels indebted to Trump.
So now he's a big Trump supporter.
And so he comes on the Fox shows now.
And so he was on Jesse Waters.
Yeah.
The Water's Well.
Sorry?
The Water's Well.
We're going to the Water's Well.
The Water's Well.
Actually, the show is called Jesse Waters Prime Time.
So he goes on the show and he and Waters is trying to talk about a couple of different topics in this show.
And Blago drops his beauty right in his lap.
And then he brings it back later in the conversation.
And Waters is like, kind of, you know, this is not the way the script's supposed to go.
So I'm going to go back and talk about what I was going to talk about, what was written for me.
These shows are very structured.
And they're written by a staff of people in the background.
And Waters had the opportunity here to really make hay with this, which he didn't.
I don't think he did.
He just kind of went along with it.
But I thought it was dynamite.
And it brought me to the point in the newsletter where I took it to the next level.
But listen to Blago talk about the garbage comment.
Former Democratic Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich joins me now.
So they got Biden, who escaped the White House, continues to humiliate his understudy.
Now they took his phone, they took his laptop.
Do you think there's going to be another blowup before Tuesday?
You know, Jesse, it's too bad Biden votes in Delaware, not in Pennsylvania, because that would be another vote for Trump.
I think Biden has actually pulled the knife that she stuck in his back a few months ago and has now taken it out and has stuck it in her back.
This is payback, what he's doing.
I know he's infirm and he's not the guy he used to be.
But calling the American people garbage, that was no mistake.
And doing it on the eve of the election the way he did, stepping on her message at her big event.
This was purposeful.
Joe Biden doesn't want to be remembered in history as Herbert Hoover plus being forced out by his party after winning 14 million Democratic primary votes.
So the Democratic Party is facing the chickens coming home to roost.
They've been lying so long to the American people.
They lie to each other.
She was working behind the scenes to get him out so she can get his spot.
And now he's doing it to her.
And these lies have come home.
And I think hopefully, God willing, we won't need Biden's vote in Pennsylvania.
Trump will win it anyway.
Stuck the knife in.
So they talk about a bunch of stuff for another five or six minutes.
And then at the very end, they wrap it with this, which is he brings it back.
And then after he does this little, his hit, as they would call it.
They brought in another guy from another Fox contributor and they start talking about something else.
It's just the fact that they dropped the ball on this great material is beyond me.
But here we go.
Because she was in charge of the border.
Something like 20 million people had crashed into our country illegally.
She can't answer that.
So they have to do what they do, call him all kinds of names and lie and lie and lie because that's what they do.
But it's catching up to him.
I truly believe the American people.
It does look like it's catching up to him because they have Biden on the loose.
And now Obama's guys are threatening Joe.
He's not going to have a library if it keeps up the stupid talk.
What point does Barack Obama take any ownership of this?
They could the guy.
He's still alive.
He's making everyone's life miserable.
I mean, what more can they do?
I don't know that they can do much more.
And again, I think this is much larger than just, you know, taking orders from the establishment.
Biden is aggrieved and he feels like he was cheated by the Democrat establishment that made him.
He made her and she knifed him in the back.
And this is his payback.
And why not?
Look at how they're treating him with the kind of contempt and disrespect.
He's the sitting president of the United States who only six months ago, they all said, was mentally capable.
Now they're treating him like he's the well-demented grandfather who's they're afraid he might say something bad and stupid.
And frankly, they're right to have that fear.
But I really believe Biden knows what he's doing.
And I think that comment about garbage and, you know, some of the other things he's been saying, I think they've been targeted.
They've been timed.
And I think they've been very effective to put a monkey wrench into the Harris campaign.
He's cagier than he looks and appears to be.
We'll see how it all plays out.
Waters, you know, this is why he's on Fox.
He's not a podcaster because he doesn't he just he's not picking up on the on the on the meat.
He's gnawing on the bone.
He didn't figure it out.
It's just the nature of that job.
You know, it's like you're given a script.
You have to do this where you get your A, B block, your B block, your C block, your D block.
It's going to be this.
We got to hit the we got to hit the ad break, Black.
And you got to go.
Yes.
So.
So he's handed a golden nugget here, which you could extrapolate, which I put in the newsletter.
The next extrapolation, which I believe to be true, which is that if that if if what Blago says is true, and I believe it is, there could be communication going on between Biden's camp and Trump's camp.
And that accounts for the fact that Trump heard about the garbage comment supposedly first time on the plane, as we mentioned in the clip we played last show.
And then he gets off the plane and there's a garbage truck that he's going to get into.
He's got the garb.
They've already got that for him.
The vest, the garbage truck is outfitted with a giant Trump sign that's either painted on or.
No, it was a wrap.
But Tina.
OK, well, still into the studio and complain fit that truck.
It wasn't like some it was white.
It was everything about it was rigged.
It was too quick.
I don't know about you, but you try to get a bunch of a bunch of things accomplished at the same time with the press there and everything.
All the press was there and the same press that he had it is that is one of his meetups meetup.
And he.
Now, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
It was a scam.
I can't even get a guy to do the dishwasher within a week.
I'm with you.
I mean, yes.
There's a perfect example.
I'm with you.
This thing was all ready to go, like it was, it had to have been planned in advance.
There's no way you can do this this quickly.
And so I'm totally in agreement with Blagojevich, it's Biden is behind this.
He's trying to sabotage Kamala and the more talk of this race being closed, the more likely Biden's going to do something again before Tuesday.
Well, you know, a lot of people, when he had that MAGA hat and he put it on and he carried it up the steps of Air Force One, a lot of people said he's sending a message and maybe he was sending a message.
In the meantime, AP comes out with a report.
Wait, wait, actually, now that you mention that MAGA hat, when he put it on, after complaining, he puts that hat on.
That should have given us the clue that everything after that, it's like the moment.
Everything after that is OK.
This is bullcrap.
Headline White House altered record of Biden's garbage remarks, despite stenographer concerns from the Associated Press.
Listen to this.
Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on Tuesday and Tuesday evening video call.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American, end quote.
The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe.
Hello, Scott Adams, who are you working for?
Reading supporters, possessive rather than supporters, which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supported, who are supporting Trump for president.
Now, the change was made after the press office conferred with the president, according to an internal email from the head of the stenographer's office that was attained by the AP.
The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
OK, the supervisor in the email called the press office's handling of the matter, quote, a breach of protocol and spoliation, spoliation, what is what is this word?
S-P-O-L-I-A-T-I-O-N, spoliation?
I'd have to look at it.
S-P-O-L-I-A-T-I-O-N, it's probably spoliation, like spoiled, like you're like a like a rotten banana.
Spoliation of transcript integrity between the stenography and press offices.
If there is a difference in interpretation, the press office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently, the supervisor wrote, adding our stenography office transcript, at least to our distro, distro, which includes the National Archives, is now different than the version edited and released to the public by the press office staff.
This is a scandal.
Again, now that this was linked in the newsletter, this article, this story, the if we're going by the fact that this is all a scheme, the fact that this all came out like this, which I've never seen anything like this before, this had to be just to draw more attention.
Attention to it, yes.
To it.
Why else is the AP running this story?
The AP is not all of a sudden, oh, we're on the side of truth.
Oh, they're not.
They're not.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, now AP is the best overall.
Look at their reporting good stuff.
No, they're not.
Exactly.
Now, so this is so that this is this is fun.
I'm telling you, it's total fun.
In terms of media deconstruction and digging deeper into the stories, which is what we're supposed to do.
Yeah, we do.
We try.
This is a beauty.
It's a gem.
Not for the Water's Well.
It's over his head.
The Water's Well is over his head.
Allow us to go to MSNBC the weekend.
And by the way, since, you know, Waters and that whole Fox operation, which is suspect.
Yeah.
They can't jump all over this.
And this wasn't because I watched the after he went on, he was Blago was also on Gutfeld, but he never brought this little little element on.
Oh, was he told not to, you think?
I don't know.
He was on Gutfeld before he went on Waters.
We went on Waters.
It could have been carried over to Gutfeld that the notion.
But it wasn't.
So I'm just, you know, I don't think Fox is too happy with this now because it's against their the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale.
MSNBC, the weekend.
Thank you.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Thank you for the recognition of network.
MSNBC, the weekend.
They know what's going to happen.
This is this is so there's kind of two narratives that I'm catching.
One is that the Democrats are afraid the Republicans are going to cheat, which is kind of an interesting little subtext.
It's subtle, but it's in there.
And without doubt, we have the the expected.
Well, Trump just does what Trump does.
Let's talk about what we can expect just in the next few days.
I want you to look at two different things side by side.
So first, you have the Harris campaign saying that they fully expect Trump to declare victory before the votes are counted.
They're prepared for that.
And then I want you to listen to what Steve Bannon is using to sort of whip up his folks.
This is from the war room.
Whip them.
Whip them good.
They are signaling you right now what they're going to do every day with you.
See, oh, we're going to delay.
We can't count the vote for seven days.
We're going to take mail in ballots five days later.
Let's take down the grid every day after November.
The evening of November 5th is going to be Stalingrad.
Stalingrad.
Remarkalizes in court and they're going to do this to slow it down if they can't if they can't take it away from Trump, if they can't nullify it right there, they can't nullify it right there.
They want to at least delegitimize his victory.
So what we have actually heard from Democrats, from Mark Elias himself, is it will take time to count these votes properly.
And there's some expectation management around the fact that we may not go to bed.
You and I are never going to we're not going to sleep another three weeks on Tuesday night.
And instead, they are trying to act as though there is a plot on the Democratic side to delegitimize this election.
Yeah, that's that's the old trick.
Oh, he's setting everybody up, setting them up, setting them up, get everybody all ready, all ready.
I have to make a comment here.
So they have this all of a sudden.
I don't know where this comes from, but it's going to take weeks and weeks.
The these statisticians and analysts that have been working on these elections forever do exit surveys and exit polling, and they do all the stuff that's necessary to get, you know, one percent of the vote is in.
We declared for so somebody one percent is in.
And we declare they use statistical analysis to declare the winner far in advance of the final vote.
Why is that going to change all of a sudden?
The media selects our presidents.
That's that's exactly how it went.
Oh, Arizona, within 30 minutes.
Arizona is in for Arizona on Fox News.
I have not forgotten.
I know you get it.
That's taking my reputation on it.
That's what they said, that's what they said, staking my reputation.
I remember it now, but we need to keep going here, CNN.
This is the Burnett woman with Amy Klobuchar.
The Harris campaign said it does fully expect that Trump will declare that he has won on Tuesday, regardless of whether he wins or loses.
And I know that this has actually been a big topic in your own Senate race against the former professional basketball player Royce White.
He once tweeted out a photo, actually, Senator, of him with the words Trump won written on his head during a game.
And you and he had a debate just the other day.
Here's what he said.
Did Donald Trump lose Minnesota in 2020?
It would appear so.
Yeah, it would appear so.
But I can't be sure.
And I don't think that that's dangerous to say.
I know you disagree on whether it's dangerous to say.
Can I can I ask you, though?
Now, what is she going to ask?
How do you think Trump and his way?
Let me guess.
OK, I'm going to guess what she's going to ask.
Well, you know, the Democrats like people like Stacey Abrams still think she's governor of Georgia.
To this day, she doesn't admit that she lost that election.
And Hillary was always moaning about it.
Not my president is illegitimate president and all the rest.
So how does that jive with what you're talking about?
That's what she's going to ask.
What about is a man?
How do you think Trump and his supporters will accept a loss?
Wrong, John.
I mean, or do you think Trump will just never accept it?
And do you think that violence is something that you just legitimately going to happen here or not?
By the way, I'm seeing clips of Minnesota and the Muslim community.
And who is who else is there?
The Ilan Omar people, where are they from?
Yes.
Sudanese or Sudanese.
Yeah, they're all they're all saying, oh, we're voting for Trump.
We're in Boston because Trump will stop the war in the Middle East.
Yes.
They finally got a clue about that.
Back to Klobuchar.
There have been a lot of changes to our laws, including the electoral count act that I worked on with Democrats and Republicans as chair of the rules committee that we have made that is going to make it very clear that you can't mess around with the electoral ballots and you can't use leverage with one member of Congress to object to the result.
That does make a difference.
We also have made it very clear.
We just as we put out a report on the rules.
So when Hillary lost that Maxine Waters and every other Democrat who was just a radical came up and protested the election in front of Congress and they eliminated that.
Is that what she's telling us?
No, you need more than one.
You need more than one.
They had more than one.
Yeah.
At the time, they had more than one, but they've changed it now.
They've changed those those rules now in Congress.
So you need you can't have just one.
You need more than one.
So it's irrelevant.
There'll always be more than one.
It's just this is showboating.
We also have made it very clear.
We just as we put out a report from the Rules Committee on the Democrats that, you know, there are differences on election night and counting Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, for instance, do not start counting their ballots for their citizens until that day of the election.
Michigan has made it a little easier.
Like many other states, they're at least opening the ballots for jurisdictions over 5,000.
So they will be able to count things quicker.
Do I wish Wisconsin and Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania?
I'm going to Pittsburgh tomorrow to help out on my mind.
Do I wish they did things like they do in Minnesota?
Maybe.
But the point is, states have the right to make their own election laws.
And so that's why we know we often see the results come in later in some of these states.
And he tries to mine that for saying there's something wrong with our system.
Well, our system is wrong.
There's a lot wrong with our system.
Now I need to go to the professionals, because as we all know, Trump is a fascist and he's literally Hitler.
And Deutsche Welle, they have that that kind of odd looking woman in D.C. She's a D.C. correspondent with a short, spiky hair.
And she has a with a weird accent, very nice German accent.
Yes.
Very nice.
I'm sorry I said that.
Chairman, you said it.
Yeah, we're up one.
You're only two trailing me by two now.
I should catch up.
Here's the lead in.
Is Donald Trump a fascist?
He is.
That's just that's a leading question.
Well, that's not are you still beating your wife?
Yes or no.
That's not the question.
He's just leading into the package.
Is Donald Trump a fascist?
His former chief of staff says so.
And he says that Trump was envious of the power that Adolf Hitler had.
And this was reason enough for D.W.'s Washington bureau chief, Enos Paul, to speak with historian Timothy Ryback, the author of Takeover, Hitler's Final Rise to Power.
Enos and her brother.
So Enos is talking to the author of this book about Hitler's final rise to power, which I can I have not read the book.
I'm just going to presume it's about Trump.
And this guy, he's so off the wall.
They edited in in like a minute.
They edited, I counted at least eight edits.
But he will start by explaining why he is a fascist, because, you know, there's a parallel with elections and a certain age.
Timothy Ryback, thank you so much for taking time to speak with D.W. I'm happy to be here.
There's a huge debate here in the United States whether it is correct to call Donald Trump or compare Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler.
What do you say to that?
I think there are fascistic postures, but I don't know if I would go as far to identify someone specifically as a fascist.
The single most, to my mind, similar identifier is an absolute blindness to any kind of defeat, anything that doesn't fit into into your worldview.
Adolf Hitler was astonishing.
He went from one catastrophe to another, from one defeat to another.
He ran in the presidential election of 1932.
He lost by six million votes.
And you know what he did?
He claimed election fraud and he took him.
He went to court to have the election results overturned.
Aha.
It's the Hitler playbook.
Proof positive.
But I always thought it was the Putin playbook, but it's the Hitler playbook.
And it gets better.
What else do you see in him with a fascist tendency, tendency?
Trump did say he would be dictator for one day on day one.
And he identifies that as a modality for governance and rule, which we've known for millennia.
The authoritarian rules, rulers and Hitler, Hitler definitely embrace that.
And I think Trump's embrace of that authoritarian rule, the vengeance, all of that is the most unsettling part of it.
But I think this inherent view that democratic processes are not the best way to run a country.
That's why we're a representative and constitutional republic.
We're not a democracy.
I don't know why they keep insisting on this is certainly unquestionably a key fascistic trait.
Hitler himself.
So just saying, hey, oh, here we go.
So just by saying we're not a democracy is a fascistic trait is certainly unquestionably a key unquestionably fascistic trait.
Hitler himself declared that he was going.
He vowed to destroy democracy through democratic process.
He had to appear in court as a witness in another trial in September 1930.
And Hitler basically said this to the judge, that he was out to destroy democracy through democratic process.
The judge said so.
But through constitutional processes, Hitler gave one word answer.
Jawohl, jawohl, jawohl, I'm going to do it, jawohl.
And what they're all overlooking, that's crazy, what everyone is overlooking is the way our system works is a representative voting process.
It is the electoral college, besides the media, of course, it is the electoral college who decides who their state declares the winner.
Except for two states where they can split it the other way around.
Did I say it wrong?
Yeah, well, you said the electoral college determines what the states do, what the state's vote is, what the state's vote is.
No, no.
The states vote and send their electoral representatives to the electoral college.
What I mean is on behalf of the state, they are represented.
Well, that's better.
OK, yes.
Thank you for correcting me.
I well, it was I accept your reproof word.
Yes, I accept it because people forget about this, except for the Democrats who keep wanting to get rid of it for obvious reason.
Yeah.
Hello.
I say it again.
Oh, they definitely want to get rid of it because it's because it works for their purposes.
It works.
So this next because it works to keep creeps out.
So this next report, which happens to be from TRT, Turkish radio television, made me favorite.
Yes, I like it a lot.
Made me think that we may see something else that no one is really talking about because we still have independent candidates.
Now, as you know, Jill Stein, she ruined it for Hillary.
It's patently not true.
And now we still have RFK Jr. on several ballots.
Listen to this report.
Oh, by the way, he's on the California ballot.
I think I may be mistaken, but I think I saw him on the Texas ballot, too.
First, they didn't want him on any ballots.
And then once you got to keep him on.
So he wants to be on it or not.
He's a spoiler.
All over southeast Wisconsin, you'll see yard signs for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, except in this neighborhood where they're pulling for the Green Party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein.
We will vote against genocide, not for genocide.
Stein is considered the most pro-Palestinian presidential candidates and increasingly drawing in younger Wisconsinites, especially Muslim and minority voters.
The Democratic Party tried and failed to get Stein kicked off Wisconsin's ballot because it said she wouldn't meet the state's presidential election requirements.
Meantime, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. tried to get himself kicked off Wisconsin's ballot and failed.
Now that he suspended his own independent campaign for president and endorsed Trump, Kennedy doesn't want his name on the ballot to siphon votes away from Trump.
The campaigns always worry about that, especially here in close Wisconsin.
You often see the third party candidates getting more than the margin between the top two.
So in principle, they could have swung the election.
In fact, that's what happened in 2016.
Jill Stein won more votes in Wisconsin than Trump's margin of victory over Hillary Clinton.
So everyone just assumed that Stein cost Clinton the state's election.
If the Republicans are worried about Kennedy or the Democrats worried about Stein, they're not showing it.
You think you're confident that that won't be an issue?
We've been sending out a very strong message that a third party vote is a vote for Donald Trump.
And people know what's at risk in this election.
So here's my thing.
Risk.
Here's my thinking.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
If you are if you're an elector, so you've got the your member of your state's electoral.
Was it board or they call it board or panel?
There's a panel.
Yes.
You're you're on the slate.
You're on the slate of electors.
And you see and you see this Trump and Harris.
And it's yeah, maybe it's kind of even maybe.
And you see a whole bunch of RFK Jr. votes.
Would you not then be able to make a case within your slate to say, well, clearly, because he's part of the campaign, the people are saying we want this platform.
We want these people to be governing.
And therefore, even even even if Trump was at a loss against Harris in a state, but then there's enough RFK Jr. votes, I think that that would be beneficial to the decision that a slate of electors would make.
I don't think it's a bad thing now that I now that I consider it because they think it's a bad thing.
So there must be some rationale because they don't want the electoral college.
We want one vote, one person, one person, one vote so we can win all the time.
Now we go to NPR, who in their infinite wisdom have decided, you know, you if you do a podcast, you got to have video.
If you don't have video with your podcast, it's no good.
This is what it refers specifically to, to the old Apple device, the iPod.
This is but which was an audio device.
There was no video on an iPod.
It actually has always worked with with later versions of the iPod, but that's not the point.
The podcast industrial complex.
When when advertising went away, really declined massively for dynamically inserted ads, it all really happened after Apple.
Interestingly enough, they released iOS 16 and with iOS 16, their podcast app had different behavior.
And if you subscribe to a podcast, it didn't download older episodes.
If it's a daily podcast, it would withhold episodes if you weren't listening to it.
But let's say on the you hadn't listened Monday through Thursday on Friday.
If you clicked on on that episode, it would then auto download the four before and they did away with that.
And that dropped the ad mark, the downloads, which is oh, that's interesting.
By 30 to some say 35, maybe even 40 percent.
Well, wasn't that also combined with the with what some group that came along that did that did advertising counting or something?
No doubt.
Wasn't there some?
No, there's always you've always had the the IAB, the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
That had nothing to do with you telling me is the Apple mechanism that really was responsible for the fall off.
Since you ask, the IAB certifies log files of hosting companies, then they certify that these are factual downloads, their downloads from individuals and not from from, you know, click farm somewhere in Asia.
Right.
But so they of course, it's the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
They they work on behalf of the companies that have media who want to sell them so they could say, look, these are legit.
These are coming from the even though everybody in the industry knew that there was auto downloading going on.
So when Apple turned that off, they had to keep their same metric and say, well, yeah, there you go.
It's less downloads that that's when NPR ran into trouble.
That's when NPR started firing people.
All of this started to fall apart and in their infinite wisdom, the advertising agencies, they all said, well, that's because, you know, podcasts are moving towards video, which really meant you know, that's bullcrap.
I'm telling you, I I do this for a living.
Half what I studied, this show for a living, and now all of a sudden I discover this.
I'm sorry.
I do this show for a living.
My mission in life is to keep podcasting free and open.
And that's why there's podcast index.
So let me write that down.
OK, continue.
So.
The.
Advertising agencies all still wanted to get that that podcast money, keep that going.
So they said, oh, no, no, it's all moving towards video.
Why did they say that?
Because video is predominantly done on places like YouTube.
That would be number one.
Why do they like it?
Because YouTube has actual viewer data.
They can see when an ad ran, if somebody actually watched Rumble has the same thing.
So they wanted to move them into closed, gated systems where you can get that what they call first party data to prove.
Oh, it acts.
It absolutely.
By the way, there's also a lot of extra opportunity to game and rig the system because everyone knows how you can rig stuff with with YouTube and you can get.
Yeah, it is very doable.
It goes right back to that.
Coney, 2012, a hundred million overnight.
Yeah, more than more than Joe Rogan and Trump, even though there's arguably a lot more people on YouTube.
So the whole thing is bullcrap.
So there's this continuous move.
And I'm we do a board meeting on Fridays.
That's really what I'm talking about.
We discuss these things.
Dave Jones and I.
And there's a couple of people who are continuously.
Well, don't you think the industry is moving towards a video?
No, it's not moving towards video.
That's what that's what the advertising business wants.
The podcast industrial complex.
So you get NPR, who is in dire straits that I mean, we heard Ira Glass saying, oh, it's this American lifeboat.
This is the latest.
Not to interrupt your train of thought, but have you heard the latest idea scam slash scam of NPR?
I have a clip.
Oh, play that.
Let's I love this kind of interrupt.
You're going to get a kick out of this one.
OK, seriously, NPR bundle.
OK, so does this sound like you?
You love NPR's podcasts.
You wish you could get more of all your favorite shows.
And you want to support NPR's mission to create a more informed public.
If all that sounds appealing, then it is time to sign up for the NPR plus bundle.
Oh, yeah.
Plus, you have to have the NPR.
You got to have the plus.
We need a no agenda plus.
I was thinking the same thing with no agenda plus.
Bundle plus bundle.
Yes, this is what they're doing is they're doing subscriptions, which is OK.
You know, I'm sure you can convert X number of your listeners to subscriptions.
But then you either keep it all behind the paywall and you don't have an opportunity to a easily get new people unless you put out sub premium content, because, of course, people are paying for the premium, the good stuff in your plus bundle or or what?
You know, there is there is no other way.
And also you become less relevant in the world because there's just not that many people that are hearing it.
So they're moving towards nonsense like that.
Long, long, long set up to the news lady.
I forget her name.
She'll she'll mention her name.
And so now her newscasts are on video.
And as a television producer emeritus.
She does not.
She has the perfect face for radio, if you know what I mean.
Oh, so are you telling OK, I didn't know this, but some NPR.
This happens with the newspaper women, too, and guys, all of a sudden they're news people.
They're in the newspaper business, which is even one step removed from being on audio where you talk.
Well, this is the actual news reader.
And they move them up to like a TV show.
And they're just terrible.
So she now she she's she's doing her actual news radio report in the booth with their cameras, with the camera, with the camera, with the cans on big, big Neumann.
Mike, big Neumann.
Mike, big Neumann, my showing you where your plus money went to that twelve hundred dollar microphone.
If there are more than that now.
And it's a close up.
This, you know, it's a close up.
It's like, why?
Why?
Got no TV makeup on for sure.
Good morning today.
That cost money.
Yeah, here we go.
And now back to the report.
Good morning.
Today is Friday, November 1st.
I'm Corva Coleman from NPR News.
And here are today's top stories.
The presidential candidates will campaign in more swing states today.
Yesterday, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump were in the Southwest.
Harris held a rally in Phoenix.
Later in the day, Trump met supporters in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale.
NPR's Ben Giles reports.
Trump spoke with former Fox primetime star Tucker Carlson.
In the final days of his campaign, Trump said he was confident he'd win on Tuesday and sowed the seeds for his supporters to doubt the results if he's defeated by Vice President Kamala Harris.
We're doing very well.
I think we're leading by a lot, a lot.
And if we can keep them, if we can keep that cheating down because there are a bunch of cheats, if we can keep that cheating down, we're going to have a tremendous victory.
I think Trump also echoed a conspiracy theory that Democrats may be allowing immigrants into the country to let them vote illegally.
Ben Giles, NPR News, Phoenix.
Former President Donald Trump often falsely claims that there is widespread cheating in elections.
There is no evidence of this, nor has Trump ever provided any.
False.
Hold on a second.
It is obviously pet peeve of mine.
How do you falsely claim you claim?
Well, not only that, she used the W word.
Which is important when it comes to the Electoral College and small counties, the W word, W word.
Ben Giles, NPR News, Phoenix.
Former President Donald Trump often falsely claims that there is widespread cheating in elections.
Widespread, widespread, you know, some districts, counties.
By the way, have you ever heard Trump say widespread cheating?
No, no, I've no I've never heard him.
You know, you have because he's never said widespread.
So how could he have falsely claimed this widespread cheating when he's never said that?
You know, there is a huge pile of trash on your radio dial.
It's known as NPR.
So now the people sending their money to NPR should rethink their priorities.
Now the best.
Oh, this was so beautiful, because you need to get Washington Post reporters on television.
WAPO, WAPO Live.
WAPO has a this is your your man, by the way.
Capehart, Capehart is the host of this.
He is so butthurt over this.
And well, you know.
Well, no, this is a great clip.
Well, there's a couple of things that are interesting.
First is so you have Hugh Hewitt, Hugh Hewitt.
He was never a Trump fan, by the way.
No, no.
And he makes this is about what happened in Georgia.
Let me see.
I think I have the.
You were Stacey Abrams is still governor.
Yes, the one.
So there's some.
Oh, they didn't want to.
You know, check the voting machine, whatever it is, some some something in Georgia.
Trump doesn't like it.
And then the associate editor of The Washington Post.
And so they're in little boxes.
She and Hewitt, I guess Hewitt works.
Does he work for The Washington Post?
He's a columnist, I believe.
He's actually a talk show host, a radio guy.
Right.
Yeah.
And so she starts talking about court cases and then Hewitt butts in and and then the following happens to me.
Or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is?
And I love Capehart Capehart.
He starts off Capehart ish.
But at the end, I mean, he he get when you're right.
He got butthurt.
He he all of a sudden becomes like a more than usual.
Like a flamboyant gay guy, which he probably is in his spare time.
Flamboyant gay guy.
But he really the he the whole cadence.
Everything comes in, which was fascinating to me.
Or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania by suing Bucks County for alleged irregularities?
And this is on top of his continual assertion that if he loses, it's because of cheating.
Yeah, that's what he's been laying the groundwork.
That's better than hello.
Yeah.
I got it.
I got to practice it on.
Yeah.
You can get that down.
Yeah.
Version that if he loses, it's because of cheating.
Yeah, that's what he's been laying the groundwork for this.
Just not in the last week, but in the last umpty ump months.
No election.
John, the umpty ump.
I do the ump.
I do the umpty ump.
What is the ump month?
This is a newspaper.
This is a newspaper lady.
Yeah, she's an editor of The Washington Post.
I do the ump.
I do the umpty ump.
I do the ump for this.
Just not in the last week, but in the last umpty ump months.
No election.
I mean, it could that's worse than bajillion.
You know what I mean?
It's like you don't say umpty.
Who says umpty ump?
She does.
I've heard it before, but it was I was a kid.
I never heard umpty ump.
Umpty ump.
How old are you?
Umpty ump week.
But in the last umpty ump months, no election can be fair unless Donald and Donald Trump's mind, unless Donald Trump wins it.
And I think we are going to see him both rev up his supporters to contest elections outside of courtrooms and go to every courtroom he can in America where it's relevant to make whatever arguments he can, no matter how far fetched we saw.
John, I got it last time, but it didn't work out.
It's going to work.
It may not.
That may not have been this time.
And now I'll let you go here.
Well, I've just got to say we're news people, even though it's opinion section.
It's got to be reported.
Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home.
So that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee and it was successful.
The Supreme Court ruled that Glenn Youngkin was successful.
We are news people, even though we have opinions and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story.
So, yes, he's upset about Bucks County, but he was right.
And he won in court.
That's the story.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do, Capehart?
I'll let you keep going, Jonathan.
No, I'm just I don't appreciate being lectured about reporting when you many times you come here saying lots of things that are.
I won't come back, Jonathan.
But I'm done.
This is the most unfair election I've ever been a part of.
You guys are working.
That's fine.
I'm done.
And so he he raged quits, gets up and walks out.
And he was right.
But I don't know why he had to rage.
Totally right.
I don't know why I had to rage quit over it.
That was a little.
That was much.
But here comes the good part.
So, Ruth, you wrote a column this week ending with this line and actually, I think this is perfect.
I'm going to put it on the screen.
You wrote, you want to know the stakes of this election?
Not only democracy, but decency.
Talk more about that, Ruth.
She's OK.
I'm collecting myself.
Oh, Ruth froze.
What?
Ruth is frozen.
And it went downhill from there.
It's just what she came back on for a split second and froze again, and then they closed the show.
Yeah, yeah.
I have as anyway, it's it was pathetic.
I mean, and he would quit is the worst.
And the fact that he's a he is on PBS on the news hour on Fridays with with Brooks, the supposed conservative who is actually more of a Democrat than he is.
It's it's a pathetic situation with this guy.
Well, PBS is you want to talk about pathetic?
PBS did.
I mean, I don't know why they even try to do this anymore, but they had to really go against Trump.
Elitist voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
And they brought out trans activist.
I have the trans clips.
So I have the clips, too.
Do you have all of the I have it produced.
I have it produced as well.
But if if you'd like to.
If you'd like to do it, I'm you know, how about this is interesting.
I have eight clips.
You have eight clips.
I have.
Yeah, you do, including the intro.
Yes, you do.
No, you have nine.
No, you have you have eight.
We both have eight clips.
I I don't have a clips.
I have seven clips.
No, you have.
Oh, you do.
Then let me play my intro.
Do you have the intro clip?
I.
Yes, I do.
Well, then I think you should just do it because I well, I have them break.
I have break points.
I think you'll appreciate if I can just say this is why.
This morning, I hadn't received your clips and I emailed you and you saw I saw that late.
I said, I know, I know.
It was I looked at I looked, I said, ah, bullcrap.
I always send these clips.
And I went and looked at because I have a system that shows me that when the clips and all was said, I dropped the ball on this.
It's OK.
The excuse you use was valid.
You said it's due to climate change.
And I said, exactly.
It was climate change.
And but this is why it's important that I have because you just everyone knows how it works.
I have no idea.
You would have not done any of this.
I would have not done any of these clips.
Yeah, I agree that that's probably true that I blame myself.
So I think you should go for it.
But I have this pretty well organized.
But do you have the picture in the show notes of of this woman, man, whatever this thing is?
Aaron, well, no, this is the most pathetic presentation.
I agree with you.
This doesn't surprise me that you would have pulled the same clips.
I haven't broken down in a certain way because I have certain complaints to make.
OK, so let's start with the first one, which is PBS.
Spain is sending 10,000 more soldiers and police to the Valencia region in the aftermath of deadly floods there.
So far, more than two G ads, Lopez PBS.
Yep.
Yeah, it starts with that.
OK, must we go?
OK, I get it.
Shall I do it?
Shall I do my intro then?
Or you've got now it's the same.
It'll be the same.
Hundred bodies have been.
Yeah, I didn't put the Valencia stuff covered.
And the search goes on for more.
An unknown number of people are missing floodwaters that decimated the city this week have covered cars, buildings and move ahead.
And now you play your clip and it will go to mine.
Somehow something screwed up there.
Here we go.
If you've watched TV this month, especially sports like football or baseball, you've likely seen campaign ads supporting Donald Trump by attacking Kamala Harris over transgender issues.
Laura Barone Lopez looks at what's behind them.
Lopez, less than one percent of the US population identifies as transgender.
But this election year, Republicans have spent a considerable amount of money on ads demonizing transgender people.
From October 7th to the 20th, Trump's campaign and pro-Trump groups spent an estimated ninety five million dollars.
And more than 41 percent of those ads were anti-trans.
Kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners.
Surgery for prisoners, for prisoners.
Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.
No, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that.
Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our money.
Kamala even supports letting biological men compete against our girls in their sports.
Kamala is for they, them.
President Trump is for you.
All right.
There you go.
There's there's your intro.
Perfect intro.
It has one of my one of the flaws.
This is a flawed report because none of this is anti-trans.
No, at all.
It's it's anti using money for surgeries.
It's and it's pro women, children and all the rest.
Yeah, but they're going after the LGBTQ plus.
And the woman they bring on, I think this starts with clip to play by clip to.
And I think she's introduced.
Less than one percent of the U.S. population identifies as transgender.
Is that wrong?
We have we have different break points.
But yeah, play play from scratch.
But this election year, Republicans have spent a considerable amount of money on ads demonizing transgender people.
From October 7th to the 20th, Trump's campaign and pro-Trump groups spent an estimated ninety five million dollars.
And more than 41 percent of those ads were anti-trans.
All right.
Your next clip, the trans ads.
I stop it there, right?
Yeah.
Because where is the demonization of trans people?
We just said this a second ago, but I'm going to say it again.
This is not about demonizing or hating on trans people.
But that's what she says.
That's her claim.
Have you noticed that it's LGBTQ plus like a bundle?
Just wow, that's a good catch.
LGBTQ plus.
Yeah.
Paramount plus premium is premium.
Paramount plus.
That's what I'm calling it.
So should we skip three since that's the ads, probably?
Or do you need to play it?
Yeah, we can skip three.
Let's go to four.
OK.
Anti-trans rhetoric is a regular part of Donald Trump's speeches.
He regularly lies about kids going to school and receiving gender affirming surgeries before they return home.
But now in the final stretch, Republicans have been putting out increasing amount of ads that are anti-trans, making it essentially their closing argument.
Help us understand the scope and the rhetoric in these ads.
I have tracked around 100 million dollars in ads.
We see Donald Trump spending more money on these ads than on housing, immigration and the economy combined.
This is a major issue for him.
Meanwhile, you have groups like the Senate Leadership Fund dropping extreme amounts of money in Senate races in Ohio, in Michigan and Pennsylvania, and they're all focused on transgender people.
Yeah, that is it's I'm glad you bring this up because it's bullcrap.
It's not it's not focusing on transgender people.
You're carrying water for Putin.
It's just it's focusing on the transgender ethos, it's focusing on the on the pushing it into the public of kids going to school one minute and coming home trans.
It's just like that's this misinterpretation of what they're trying to do.
What they're trying to do, obviously, is to say, look, this is not healthy for the society.
And let's go with the next clip.
Unfortunately, we did it.
We missed the introduction of this woman who's the one that you were saying is so frightening.
And she is also came out.
I think it was when she's introduced.
She is ahead of some really big, big, big, big, big, big, big, research group looking into this.
I have I have her intro is very short.
Eighteen seconds.
Yeah, play it.
Aaron Reid is an advocate and independent journalist covering LGBTQ issues, and she tracks transgender legislation around the world.
Recently, Aaron announced her decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election.
Aaron, thank you so much for being here.
Thank you so much for having me on me for being here.
So she has green hair and green hair.
She is a transgender activist, researcher voting for Harris.
So we got no objectivity whatsoever with this reporting from PBS.
And that's the best they can do is bring on some some lackey who is just a promoter of the Harris campaign.
And that's what we're supposed to take this at face value as something valuable.
Have you have you seen this read person's tick tock channel?
No, I did.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, I would have been taking clips from it.
Yeah, yeah.
You would have.
Yeah, you would.
OK, here we go to clip five.
The top issues, according to most polls right now, is the economy, abortion, immigration.
So why do you think Trump and his allies are making this one of their main closing arguments?
It's important to note that some of the biggest benefactors of the Republican Party, some of the most influential organizations in the party or talking groups like the Alliance Spending Freedom, for instance, have made this their main issue.
If you're running a campaign in a place like Pennsylvania or Ohio or Michigan at any level and you want money in your campaign, targeting trans people is a really good way to do that.
But as for Trump, I think that there's something different at play here.
I think that this is a classic fear campaign.
We've just got polling today showing that Harris is catching up on the economy and on other issues that Republicans tend to pull well in.
And so the purpose of a fear campaign is to distract you from issues that you normally care about by making you so afraid of a group of people, of somebody like me, for instance, that you're willing to throw everything else away because you're scared.
Who are these ads targeting?
They run during major sporting events.
They were just on during the World Series.
Who is he trying to reach here?
The group of people that are watching these sporting events are young men.
Oh, OK.
OK, let's stop there.
There was a series of ESPN radio spots and some others.
They're just bemoaning the fact that it's not young men watching these these games.
The youth of America has given up on sports.
They play video games, you know, all this other stuff.
No, they don't their own games.
They play their own games on the on the you know, they play Madden football.
They don't go they don't watch football.
If you look at the stands, it's middle aged men.
And the people who watch football, I'm one of them.
I'm an old guy and I'm watching football.
You don't watch it.
No, and you're you're not that much younger.
But if you go younger than you, nobody's what?
No, no, they're they know that the demographic is failing on this.
So she's full of shit right there that this is to appeal to young all these young kids that are watching NFL football on TV.
Most people won't even watch TV.
I got Brennan and and Jay, they come over the house every so often.
I put this up on the TV and boom, they're on their phones watching short clips from whatever they don't know.
But this is bullcrap.
She's completely off the mark here.
It obviously did no research on any of this.
And she's just a bigot.
But let's continue with the average.
The average age is forty five.
Of the NFL football watcher.
Yes.
A different way.
Forty five is not a young man from a from a quick search.
So that's a take that.
Yeah.
You know, it falls right into place.
I was listening to this ESPN radio and there were guys are just bitching and moaning about how the schools don't have PE and they don't even play sports.
They don't do it in school.
Nobody promotes it.
They're all the kids are on their phones all the time and they're all getting fat and they don't do any.
There's those calisthenics even.
It's like, no, it's nonsense.
What she said.
It's either that or they're working out listening to Joe Rogan.
You know, it's it's I agree.
I think you're just superficially, from what I know, I would say you're correct.
It's not that it's not even 30 year olds.
Yeah, I just don't see it.
And you well, onward with six.
And I think in a lot of cases, the Republican Party is trying to tap into what they hope is some level of fear that they can draw up from that group of people.
If you look at most polling and anecdotally, really, young people tend to understand trans people better than anybody else.
Oh, they're not as afraid of us.
And I think that might be part of why this messaging campaign might be falling short.
These ads make pretty specific claims about surgery for transgender inmates and undocumented immigrants.
Let's take a listen.
Under liberal borders are Kamala Harris.
Illegal aliens are pouring into our country, including murderers, rapists and even terrorists.
Instead of paying for their crimes and receiving justice, Kamala will give criminal illegal aliens taxpayer funded transgender surgeries.
Walk us through the facts about what's actually happened with those populations.
What the ad is actually talking about is medical care in the United States.
No is a right by the Eighth Amendment.
You cannot deny medical care to prisoners.
And under the law, a law that was in place during the Trump administration.
If a doctor determines that an inmate needs medical care, then they get it.
So these ads are actually focused on two instances where a transgender person received gender affirming care in prison, a surgery.
And the amount of money spent on these particular cases is far less than the amount of advertising dollars that Trump is pouring into this issue.
Why about two to 100 times more money?
Easy does it.
It's almost over.
Hold on.
So these ads are actually focused on two instances where a transgender person received gender affirming care in prison, a surgery.
And the amount of money spent on these particular cases is far less than the amount of advertising dollars that Trump is pouring into this issue.
About two to 400 times more money is being used in political ads to make you afraid of two transgender inmates.
So afraid that you're not going to care about the economy anymore.
You're not going to care about abortion anymore.
This is the end of mainstream media, as we know it.
When you resort to this level, the ad is about illegal immigration.
And then they throw a little cherry on top, which is for obvious reasons.
Oh, that's an outrage.
She doesn't.
This Lopez, a woman who is the worst reporter on PBS.
Is she the newbie?
And she's so biased.
She the new one?
Yeah, she's the.
Yeah, she's the little Hispanic girl who needs hand makeup.
No, no, no.
Oh, no.
The hand makeup.
That's that you're talking about.
Welker.
Yes.
I'm confused.
Yeah.
Anyone.
I get lots.
I still get notes to this day saying I'm condemning me for pointing out the fact that if you're watching Kristen Welker do her meet the press or whatever it is, whatever show that one is, it's either face the nation or meet its meet the press.
If you look at her hands, they're the hands of an old black man that worked the fields.
Yes.
And it's like it's so distracting that you just can't.
You just once you see it, you go, oh, you just it just ruins your day.
And I get I still get condemnation for pointing that out.
And I just did it again.
So I get some more notes.
But no, this woman is just a bigoted Democrat lackey, and she doesn't push back on anything.
Anything is this crazy woman said, no, it's fine.
What else?
Tell me more.
And so we go to I think we're on the final clip.
Aaron, when you take a step back, what are the stakes in this election for transgender Americans?
It's been an especially difficult year.
Did this thing say especially?
I heard yes, especially in this election for transgender Americans.
It's been an especially difficult year and last two or three years for trans people.
Just two days ago in Odessa, Texas, they passed a $10,000 bounty on trans people found in the bathroom.
I've been tracking.
What?
Wait a minute.
A bounty on what?
You're in Texas.
You should know all about this bounty.
I'm a bounty hunter.
I need to go get me some trans in the bathroom.
Just two days ago in Odessa, Texas, they passed a $10,000 bounty on trans people found in the bathroom.
I've been tracking anti LGBTQ legislation for years now.
And it's not just the ads.
The legislatures themselves are spending more time on this issue than anything else.
This has been priority number one.
And the trans people that live in these states, they constantly have to hear their humanity debated in public.
They constantly have to worry about things that I think a lot of Americans take for granted, things like going to the bathroom, getting an updated driver's license, playing a school sport with your friends.
But trans people right now are under a relentless assault by the Republican Party.
These bills are passing in primarily Republican states.
Even if Trump doesn't win and we get a Kamala Harris presidency, we have to contend with a nation that has been primed to hate people like me.
Aaron Rehm, thank you for your time.
Thank you so much.
It's not about Haiti.
It's always about, oh, me, me, me.
Nobody cares about you.
So I care about their kids, perhaps being groomed to be trans, or they care about people, taxpayer money being used, or even though it's only been used a couple of times, doesn't matter.
Or about prisoners saying, I'm a girl.
I'm going to go to the female prison, all that sort of mismatched stuff.
That's what they care about.
They don't care about you, lady.
Hey, are we missing the most annoying report?
PBS should really shut down.
Are we missing something here?
Are we missing that this report is intended to drive people to voting for Trump?
Well, going back to our basic meta theory, it's so dumb.
It's so below any journalism.
How dumb is it?
It's below any journalistic standard.
But if I go to MSN.com, which was the first hit on the bounty.
I get this.
The first hit.
City puts $10,000 bounty of trans people's on trans.
It says of.
Oh, that's interesting that, oh, oh, wait, it's from LGBTQ Nation.
All right, MSN.
The city of Odessa, Texas, a place that $10,000 bounty on any transgender individual who uses bathrooms that align with their gender identity, according to independent journalist Aaron Reid.
The bounty would weigh.
Well, what do you have to go to?
It's either in the public record or it isn't.
Well, I tried to find it.
Oh, this sounds like bull crap.
I think it's in this next graph that it gets explained.
The bounty itself reads that any person besides local
and state government officials may sue a trans person
using the restroom that aligns with their gender with payments,
including, quote, injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant
from violating the provisions of this ordinance,
nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury
or harm from the defendant's conduct, statutory damages
in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance
and court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
That's a far cry from a bounty.
A bounty means a far cry from a bounty.
It's not a bounty at all.
In addition, there are criminal penalties for individuals who use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, which is another way of saying for if you're in the wrong bathroom.
The provision states that, quote, a person violating the provisions of this ordinance ordinance for Odessa's ordinance like the camping bans ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.
And anyone who refuses to use bathroom aligned with what the city perceives as their biological sex, even after being asked to leave by a building owner, then may be guilty of may be guilty of misdemeanor trespassing.
This is, as we would say, a storm in a teacup.
It's totally to coin a phrase.
It's a trumped up accusation of Odessa bull crap.
It's what you want to say.
Well, bull crap to make it simple, be another way of looking at it.
So I think that this is intended for more people to vote for Trump.
It's a possibility that they're definitely throwing the wrong stuff at the wall.
Yeah.
Well, it's a problem is Lopez had to be a sucker then because she's definitely not going to be part of any scheme to get votes toward Trump.
There's no way she's probably all in on this ideology.
You know what?
I mean, by the way, ordinance like that would never be passed in any in any city that has a major league sports team.
If anyone has ever been, you know, women flock to the men's bathrooms.
At major league events, because they got to go.
Because they got to go in the women's lines can be like a mile long.
And the guys are in and out.
We're in and out.
And so the ladies are always in the men's bathroom in the stalls, of course.
And I'm going to I'm going to tell you right now that the election results will be on a regular course.
The grid will not go down.
And no matter who wins, it's going to be a big wet fart.
There's not going to be any rioting.
None of that's going to happen.
If Trump wins, there will be rioting.
OK, the market down in the book.
I have the two.
Do we have the two sides of this?
We had it last time with the pink pussy hat that was immediately asked for impeachment.
That was not a riot.
That's not a riot.
Oh, that was just a bunch of.
Hold on a second.
Let me read the phrase then.
Massive protests, mostly peaceful, but mostly peaceful protests.
It's going to be a wet fart.
Trump wins wet fart.
Everyone cries.
People leave for Canada.
You said wet fart three times so far.
Yeah.
So I mean, it seems weird.
You're having trouble.
Yeah.
Boom.
And he's up to 16.
Oh, so close.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to catch up.
By the way, I got a note from Rob, our constitutional lawyer.
Spoliation means the destruction of evidence.
It's a little more serious, this call that the stenographer's office made.
They say it's a destruction of evidence.
Oh, interesting.
That's the kind of producers we have.
Yeah, we have unbelievable.
Now, as you mentioned, I got to read a note from a producer.
I get my glasses.
There's one of one of our producers complaining about our our coverage, not in a bad way.
John, your recent CIA vocal fry lady.
That's the Kennedy woman, Amaryllis.
Yes.
Said some disappointing things about how she classified her correspondence, her defaults of classification.
Things as never releasable is against the rules and just plain lazy.
As a DOD employee, I have to take annual training on how to classify information, including the penalties for doing so incorrectly.
We police ourselves and each other on classifying correctly, and we have security sections and we who we report to if there are issues.
There are lazy and complacent people and maybe the entire organization out there.
What the hell, CIA?
But we're not all like that.
It's defending the bureaucratic state.
I told him that, you know, I worked in administrative state, and it seems to me very logical that they would do this.
Allow me to read a boots on the ground report or better yet, subs in the water.
Our producer works at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory as a mechanical engineer.
The Naval Nuclear Laboratory develops advanced naval nuclear propulsion technology for the safety and reliability of our Navy submarine and aircraft carrier fleets.
It's a cradle to grave operation where the design, support, manufacture, installation, refueling and long term storage of nuclear reactors takes place.
Beautiful subs.
We also train the sailors.
We also train the sailors who operate our reactors.
Say sailor.
The laboratory is run as a government contract for the Department of Energy.
So currently I'm employed by the Fluor Marine Propulsion, who was awarded the latest contract.
Every email that I send, I have to use the drop down menu that was spoken about for email classification.
However, our system does not have the ability to have a default setting.
So for every email, I must select the classification of the subject, the email body and the attachments independently.
We are instructed that we must identify the information correctly.
Otherwise, it is called a spill.
We are subject to escalating disciplinary process for not following the guidelines up to termination for intentional and repeated misclassifications.
Unlike others that we all know, Hillary, I do my best to follow the rules and secure classified information appropriately and obviously want to keep my job because unlike Hillary, I know that I would be reprimanded.
However, recently, the number of options in the pull down menu increased dramatically.
No lie.
There are now 25 options.
We get training on the different classifications, but the rules can be quite vague for some of the intermediate classifications.
Unless you are routinely working with that level or type of information, I feel myself and other colleagues are often unsure of which classification to use.
Most of the information I work with is of the highest level of DOE classification, confidential restricted data, CRD.
And I know what words make something CRD.
So if I'm sending an email where I'm unsure of the information classification, I don't have time to consult a derivative classifier to confirm.
Wow, that's a cool job.
I don't want to risk misclassifying or underclassifying.
So I just add the CRD word to avoid reprimand.
Want to have lunch?
Word.
However, if an email is clearly unclassified like, hey, let's meet up after work, it is easy to select unclassified from the dropdown.
So it sounds like the classification of emails in our government sucks balls.
It's all dumb.
Does that sound right?
Why would there be 25 classifications?
Because it's government.
It's dumb.
But meanwhile, I can't even get you to use encrypted email.
Why?
What difference does it make to protect our freedom?
It's not protecting anything.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in, especially say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Good morning to you, Mr. Assistant Secretary, Mr. Susie Botek, I've been there, some of the one of the dames and knights out there.
Choke out.
All right.
2486.
We're above the norm, above the norm.
2486 is good.
It's good to have the trolls in the troll room.
Thank you very much.
Cotton gin for that.
It's actually kind of the norm.
Now it's either 2400 or it's not.
This is close enough to this.
OK, if you run it up to twenty five hundred, that's all right.
If I did twenty five hundred be like, it's good.
That's not that good.
I'm happy anyone shows up.
Well, it's a miracle.
It seems to me we had the big Albany meet up and they had a few people.
It wasn't a big turnout.
It was.
But we got to see Violet again.
I was going to say, did they bring any other children besides Violet?
Yes, there was a there was a couple that came down from Reading.
Nice guy.
The whitest teeth I've ever seen in my life.
You haven't seen it.
And it's been his lovely wife.
And they had a little as I think she's like a six or nine, nine month old.
And she was cute.
And yes, we had two kids.
You're a regular.
Also, Theodore showed up.
So Theo, Theo, Theo is Mimi in town.
She was supposed to be at the meet up.
I should be here in a few hours because I happen to know it's her birthday coming up tomorrow.
Tomorrow is her birthday.
And by the way, since you got the birthday list in front of you, he already sent me an email and the email said the email.
The email said, could you please put me on the birthday list?
I told John, but he'll probably forget.
I didn't forget.
Crazy Steve should be on the list.
And you know what?
I'm glad you brought that up.
I'm not that forgetful.
No, you're not.
You're not.
You're a great guy.
A great guy.
Yeah, that's it.
You are.
You're a great.
What can I say?
You're a great guy.
I got it.
There's no problem.
You're a great guy.
It's fantastic.
We're doing a great show.
We're doing a great service for humanity.
It's a public service.
It is.
It's a plus service.
Just yes.
No agenda plus.
Yeah.
So we don't have no agenda plus.
No.
Instead, we have producers.
It's all no agenda plus.
That's right.
Our producers are all over the world like these trolls.
Trollroom.io. They listen live.
And, you know, there's been several articles about the Joe Rogan Trump interview.
Here's an example.
The Mises.
I think you pronounce it Mises.
I used to say Mises, but I got corrected.
The Mises, the Mises Institute headline, the establishment media is unaware of its growing irrelevance.
And they talk about, you know, how big tech has just gone back to censoring, because if you search for that episode on YouTube, it wouldn't show up in the search results.
Gee, I wonder why.
So they reluctantly relented.
And, you know, Joe was posting direct links to it everywhere.
And as we just heard from PBS, I mean, who who cares about that other than you're trying to send a message and that message is, by the way, it's trans abuse.
As far as I'm concerned, you're abused.
What is trans abuse?
PBS abuse that that Aaron Reid person for for whatever reason, this dumb.
It's all dumb.
There are people are doing the podcast.
It's really gone.
It's amazing when it started.
It was a the McNeil-Lehr report.
These two old pros came in from the outside and they said, we're going to do it right.
Instead of these half hour lousy news shows, these networks do.
We're going to do one.
We're going to do it right.
They talk PBS into doing an hour of news because they could talk a little more than just the normal soundbites.
Yeah.
And it was you know, it was it was good for a while.
And then it didn't McNeil quit.
And they're, you know, kind of held on there.
And then he had to go.
And next thing you know, the thing deteriorates into crap.
Yeah.
So no, instead of that, we we're just a podcast.
We're a podcast plus operation here where everything is plus.
And you can you can join those.
By the way, you can't join in the troll room on PBS.
And you should have seen some of the things people were saying when we were playing those clips.
Imagine that.
Imagine having a big screen scrolling by while interviewing someone.
No, no, no.
That only happens here.
And it's quite a revolutionary format we have.
So we built apps around it where you get alerted when the stream goes live.
There are many shows who have live.
They go live to tape the way I think it always should be.
That was a problem in early podcasting.
We didn't have any gear.
It was hard for, you know, mere mortals to set up a mix minus with your Skype.
So everyone was using music mixer boards from Behringer.
That's right.
There was Skype was what the main thing was.
Yeah.
But you had to set up a mix minus.
So you needed a mixer with two buses.
And the minute you talk about that, people, the eyes roll up on their head and they went, let's just record it on each end and we'll put it together in post.
And that's when it all went.
Actually, it was a website.
It's called the double and do it for you.
So the double ender is what it was called.
They would you'd send them the two feeds and then the website was like, you know, was one of those.
Yeah, we'll do this for you.
And it was like, wait a minute, how do we make money doing this?
I think that's it.
And if you recall, why are we doing this?
If you recall, because of processor clock speeds and encoding bit rates, most people would find that if they did an hour long conversation, they recorded it on each end, they'd sync it up at the beginning.
But it would be out of sync within no time codes.
Correct.
There's no, no, it was as far as I know that most audio, I mean, with video, it's always been an issue, but you get a system that uses time codes and you put the time in as you record it, the time codes are on there and you have no problem syncing because you have a time code.
Just so you understand, it has nothing to do with the time code.
It has it has to do with the clock speed of the computers and the bit rate encoding of the MP3 file.
It will actually be fractions of a second faster or slower without without it being audible to the human ear.
But over time, it would get out of sync.
Well, whatever the case was, it sucked.
Exactly.
So the modern podcast app, which you can find at podcastapps.com, they alert you when we go live and when we publish the show, not everyone can listen live, of course, when we publish the show within 90 seconds, you get an alert.
Why would you wait on any other legacy app?
No reason to.
Now, back to the plus part of the No Agenda show.
The plus is not behind some streaming paywall.
You don't have to, you know, steal someone's, you know, can I borrow your password to listen to No Agenda?
You don't have to use VPNs and all kinds of.
No, it's there for you.
If the show is of any value to you, you send it back.
Time, talent, treasure.
We love our producers.
We have producers everywhere.
You just heard two who use classified email systems sending us unclassified information.
How cool is that?
I know how classified it is.
Well, it's about classification, so thus it is classified.
I don't know if it included any of the words.
I wonder the words, whatever those are.
The words, it's the.
I wish they'd just send us a list of the words.
That would be awesome.
So, yeah, I'd like to have a list of the words that whatever when those words show up, that becomes classified, just a word or maybe one or two.
How does that even work?
I don't know.
Hopefully we'll find out.
We'll find out.
So one way that people give us value, it's it's three, three categories.
Time, talent, treasure, time and talent go together.
Often people organizing meetups, people making websites, running infrastructure, keeping it the ball rolling in many ways, giving us boots on the ground report, hitting people in the mouth, getting people to listen, propagating the formula.
And then we have the artists, which now these days, a lot of prompt jockeys.
But we still have the classic artists who do the work and and to prove it.
And I'm pretty sure Nico Seim did this non-AI.
It doesn't seem like this doesn't look AI or I should say computer generated.
It would be I don't know how I can even do this.
If he has the abilities to to.
Generate this image from AI, then he's really good.
This is for Episode 1708, which we titled Gaytheist, much to the delight of the Seattle metal band Gaytheist.
Yeah, we didn't know, but now we know the Gaytheist.
I have not.
It's funny.
I have not heard their musical stylings yet, but I'm sure it's fantastic.
I'm sure it's a yeah.
Nico Seim brought us a whoopee cushion, which was perfect.
It had the the jack-o-lantern on it.
Had no agenda.
Corinne Dvorak.
It was a whoopee cushion, which by itself was was just great.
I mean, this is a a long lost art of tossing the whoopee cushion.
We discussed that.
If you didn't hear it, then you should go back and listen to 1708.
And Nico Seim, he won the competition.
Now, if we go back and take a look, this was obviously a Halloween episode.
It was on Halloween.
So people weighed in with a lot of different ideas.
There was art up the butt.
It was over a page full.
It was a page.
It was more than a page.
Yeah, it was.
It was a lot of art and it was hard.
And I think there was at least 10 pieces that we could have picked.
Yes.
And at the meetup, I had a number of people ask me, you better explain this whoopee cushion.
What do you mean?
And I mean, there were there was cheesecake.
There were garbage trucks with actually another Nico Seim garbage trucks with jack-o'-lanterns.
There were lots of maggots, garbage cans, which was OK.
I mean, we like we are a little traditionalist in that way.
It's like Christmas.
We want a Christmas image.
Easter.
We want an Easter image of Halloween.
You know, use a Halloween image.
I kind of I remember thinking that I liked Scaramanga's spook kid with the with the soup pail, which you hated like I hate that image.
I despise that kid.
And the soup is dumb.
I think that's exactly the kid.
The kid doesn't look realistic.
It looks like some sort of I don't know what.
And the soup gag is funny, kind of.
But, you know, it was, you know, no, I didn't like that piece at all.
What's interesting is I like to vote so hard with the thing on fire.
But we talked about that piece doing it.
The flames are no good.
These are no good.
Have you noticed that Nico Sime has uploaded more?
And when it's a I, he puts in parentheses a I.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
So we'll be that way.
He can he can bamboozle us at some point in the future.
He may have already done it.
The spike strip by Brad Traynor.
Right.
I like that piece.
But it wasn't Halloween.
No, it was not Halloween.
And it was also a bit much.
Yeah.
Was I think that was those are the kind of the ones who discussed was anything else we looked at?
No.
Panda stuff.
Yeah, by the way, Jill Biden was in the panda suit.
Did you know that's what they say?
But I did you ever see her take the top the head off to show that it was actually Jill Biden or just say it was Jill Biden.
And Jill Biden was so irked by everything going on that she was actually at home.
So what are you going to come to this thing?
You put somebody in a panda suit and say it's me.
The so a lot.
OK, so the combination, whether it was Jill or not, is irrelevant.
But the panda, along with our current president, biting children and putting their feet in his mouth.
You know, there's there's a thing called Panda Eyes, which was it was kind of fashion for a bit and fashion photography with, you know, black eyes.
Oh, yeah.
Along.
It was kind of in the anorexia days when that was fashionable.
Or the anorexic look, I should say.
Panda Eyes is is kind of universally associated with child abuse, you know, black eyes and particularly creepy child abuse.
So the whole thing, the whole thing was creepy.
What does a panda have to do with Halloween anyway?
Why does everybody just accept that?
I found the whole thing to be completely screwy.
Now, a panda with biting babies.
Oh, I can see that association.
I don't understand it.
Get these people out.
Get them out.
Get rid of them.
Release the Diddy Stein tapes.
We want to see who's on.
We're never going to see the Diddy list or the or the Epstein list or anybody's list until if Trump doesn't get in.
Because, you know, that's, you know, the way I saw it, Cardi B.
I have a clip.
We play Cardi B.
Wow.
And the bonus clip whips out the Cardi B clip.
I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth.
She's passionate.
She's compassionate.
She shows empathy.
And most of all, she is not delusional.
Yeah.
Kamala recognized that this country is at risk, that the economy needs to get stronger, that the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.
Damn, it's even high for me.
I believe her when she says under her buying eggs and milk won't break the bank because she's going to pass a ban on price dodging on groceries.
Oh, man.
She told me that in my face.
So she better not lie to me in my face.
There you go.
That'll come back.
Better not lie to me face.
OK, great.
Celebrity.
She's on the P.
Diddy party goer, obviously, because she had done a video floating around the net.
She's never in her entire life would ever endorse a candidate.
Yeah.
But once once it was P.
Diddy tapes and what's the what's the what's the term for copious, copious documentation?
Which supposedly did he has?
Well, the I don't know, I, I, I, you know, I'm very suspicious of all these out of the blue and some of these screwy people that you'd.
Why are they even what?
Why don't you just stay out of the Chloe Moritz came out in support of Kamala for some unknown reason.
Then she came out as gay Chloe Moritz.
I don't know who that is.
Yeah.
If you saw her picture, you've seen her a million times.
She's all over the place.
She's a heartthrob of the of the online nerd contingent.
I'm sorry, you mean umpty umptimes the umpty umpty time.
She's a heartthrob and now she's gay.
And there she goes.
There goes her career.
I don't get what she was thinking, but OK, whatever.
I'd like to thank our executive.
We'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode one thousand seven hundred and nine.
You go to no agenda donations dot com.
You can support the show with any amount you want.
That's what the plus stands for.
Do whatever you want.
We recommend people do sustaining donations, which is any amount, any frequency set on automatic.
So we'll have a base to work on.
We appreciate any amount that anybody sends.
Lots of people do five dollars a month and they become knights and and beyond even.
But like Hollywood, we recognize that it's important to thank the people who are the associate executive producers and executive producers and the way Hollywood works is that's money you put into the project.
And so we like to thank our associate executive producers.
Two hundred dollars and above and we'll read your note.
Executive producers.
Three hundred dollars and above.
And we'll also read your note.
But we we read every we thank everybody over fifty dollars.
And we start with Daniel DeGroff, who is in Broomfield, Colorado, and he comes in with what he wants to be a new number.
Seven, seven, seven, which he thinks should be the new three thirty three.
And with the I don't understand this with the fees.
No.
Yes.
I know.
I don't think the fees are that much.
Well, then how is it eight seventeen ninety?
No idea.
I don't know how I got the eight seventeen ninety.
I.T.M. trying to make seven, seven, seven, the new three, three, three.
So if you do that and you're and you're supporting us with the fees as well, which is which is much appreciated, then let us know, because I think seven, seven, seven, which is the angel number is an angel number.
So it's a nice number.
Thanks for another.
And give us another one.
I don't seven, seven, seven, seven.
So it's only seven.
No, there's all kinds of angel numbers and there's websites for that.
I'll look into it.
It's a it's a heavenly number.
Seven, seven, seven.
Why?
Seven is an important number in Scripture.
Why?
Because God said so.
OK, well, as long as somebody said backing you up, there you go.
Big man's backing me up.
Thanks for everything you do, says Daniel.
I'm currently known as Sir Fusion off, but I'd like to change my name to Sir Null Pointer to avoid any potential future legal issues.
OK, Daniel DeGroff, Broomfield, Colorado, you're good to go.
We will be changing your title later.
Thank you very much.
Tom, I was a sneezing, sneezing, sneezing, sneezing, I think sneezing, sneezing, he's in broad.
What is it?
Brotobin, Brotobin, New York.
Where's that upstate?
Well, probably it was not downstate.
Five hundred dollars.
He's not he's not wants to be known as Commodore Sneezic.
No jingles, no karma, just that simple.
And by the way, since we had no Commodores, we got a couple left because as grace period Commodores were cutting the link goes out of business on on Election Day.
So you can't do it after that.
Done.
Commodore ships over.
Kenneth Keel, I believe, Kehl, El Sobrante, California, three thirty three dot thirty three, our favorite number to John Adam.
It's been ages since I've been to a tiki lounge.
I had to go back to the back of the closet to find an island themed shirt.
I thoroughly enjoyed the meetup at Trader Vic's.
It was a great it was great chopping it up with John and the producers chopping it up.
Go to a meetup near you.
Connection is protection.
No jingles, no karma.
Ken from El Sobrante, a meetup donation.
Thank you, Ken.
Yeah, El Sobrante.
Good.
Now, are these handed to you with notes at the meetup?
These gray things?
They're all they were put into the spreadsheet.
Nice.
And now we got another meetup provided that this is the wife.
Of Jonathan and the mother of Violet.
Ah, do you have a picture of Violet?
No.
Well, maybe she should send this one.
I didn't I didn't I didn't have my camera.
I wasn't taking pictures at the meetup, but Violet's five now.
So she's not a trap or sucker baby anymore.
And is she does she do any of the no agenda stuff like shut up, slave?
Any of that stuff?
Not yet.
We're working on Violet.
She's actually a parent.
I'm told a very pleasant little girl.
She's really pretty.
This is a baroness, Sarah Rupert, husband, Jonathan and the original sucker baby, Violet.
And they all showed up.
And of course, it was Sarah that complained about us doing these in bars all the time.
She couldn't bring the baby.
As you or the or actually a girl now, as you very well know, I have been a producer since the first episode.
Kind of I don't know how she managed to stick with it.
And I started my monthly subscription with a three, three, three ticket to the mothership.
Yeah, that.
Yeah.
Now I have hit my husband.
And oh, yeah, she got when she got married.
Her husband was a skeptic, didn't think much of the show.
Oh, I kind of remember.
She's it's one of those reversals where the wife got the husband into the show.
Yes.
Nice guy.
He was there.
We think it's time to increase the donation to six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six a month.
Wow.
We hope this will buy us enough seats to get our whole family on the mothership if needed.
Yes.
He was a legacy NPR sustainable donor.
Oh, my.
Due to their demise over the past 10 years, he took John's advice and decided to give you guys the cash.
Please see the enclosed or please see the enclosed three, three, three, three hundred thirty three dollars as his official de-douching.
So give him a de-douching.
He needs a de-douching.
Oh, where's my de-doucher?
You've been de-douched.
Special thanks to you, John and others who moved this meet up to a family friendly location so Violet could attend.
This is truly appreciated to four more years.
And then she's got signatures of everybody.
And Violet has I saw her signatures, Violet.
And it's curiously Jonathan's signature looks like some some crazed maniac.
So, yes, for Baroness Sarah and Jonathan and Violet and others who have a boarding a mothership boarding pass, you can pick them up at will call.
They will be there for you.
Who will come home?
Yes.
Yeah.
Dame Beth, Tucson, Arizona, row of ducks, associate executive producer.
And she says, hi, all boys were on Tuesday's ballot.
Who's on Tuesday's ballot?
Is she on the ballot?
She might be on the ballot in Tucson, Arizona.
It doesn't surprise me.
I humbly request some election day karma with a Fletcher for more years.
Thank you for your courage.
Dame Beth, Baroness of Baja, Arizona, if she's on the ballot, then you might want to consider voting for her.
For more.
Yeah, you've got.
Farmer.
Eli, the coffee guy in Bensonville, shows up at two and eleven dollars and three cents.
We have a very short list today, by the way.
It is rather short.
I don't know why.
I guess the last show sucked as the farmers market season comes to it's coming to a wrap.
But one of my markets was located next to an early voting location.
In the six hours of the market, the police had to intervene three times on poll goers getting into altercations with fellow voters.
That's interesting.
In the words, I guess a bunch of tick tock clips that get people like that on there.
In the words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along?
I say vote with your dollars and elect to drink good coffee.
There you go.
This is a gigawatt coffee roasters dot com.
And use the code ITM for 20 percent off your order.
Stay caffeinated, says Eli, the coffee guy.
Yes.
And I'll jump to Lawrence Wolfe in Oakland, California.
Two hundred dollars.
It looks like he delivered and delivered this with a note.
And I have it here in front of me.
It's the crackpot and buzzkill care of the best podcasting universe.
Oh, it came to PO Box.
ITM, gentlemen, enclosed.
Please find a token of gratitude for all you do.
Thank you for your courage.
Adios, mofos.
Sir Lawrence of Dystopia.
He is Kilo Oscar six.
Echo, Juliet Echo.
Seventy three is Kilo five.
I don't think he was at the meetup.
No, he's not.
Kilo five, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie beaconing every 15 minutes on VAR AC.
20 meters.
Hey, if a couple can come down from from Redding, which is up there in northern California, up, up, up, up.
You can come in from Oakland.
Linda Patkin, meanwhile, she's in Lakewood, Colorado.
She hasn't showed up at a meetup.
She's got two hundred dollars into the pot and she requests requests.
Jobs, karma, and she says for a faster, more effective job search, visit Image Makers Inc.
Dotcom.
That's Image Makers Inc.
with a K K.
That's your go to for executive resumes and job search needs and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes.
Has she changed her copy?
It feels like that.
Yes.
Well, no, she she varies every time.
Yes, because the last show was for a resume that gets results.
And now she's mostly always says gets results.
Now she's saying for a faster and more effective job search.
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
And of course, she wants her jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Yeah.
Karma.
And we thank all of these executive and associate executive producers very much for supporting our our plus program here.
It's umpty ump just for you.
And of course, we'll be thanking people.
Fifty dollars and above in our second segment.
And remember, those sustaining donations support the show.
Go to go.
Oh, I shouldn't mention.
These credits are real.
They're actual show business credits.
You can use them anywhere.
They're good forever.
And you can even put it on IMDB dot com if you don't have an account there because you've been a producer in Hollywood.
You can you can open one up.
It'll be you can next.
You can be next to George Clooney if your name starts with a C and an L.
That's no agenda donations dot com.
Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers.
Episode 1709.
Our formula is this.
We go out.
We hit people in the mouth.
Squirrel day before you go to your tick tock lips, because I know I see you, I see your tick tock lips and I'm excited for you.
We are.
At the tail end of.
COP 16, COP 16.
Yeah, it's funny, that's not getting any play at all.
No, it's getting some play on the international.
I have a good little wrap up here because, gee, I think I think money will solve the problem is usually what comes out of these.
And French 24 gave us a nice wrap up, even though it's not over yet.
A nice wrap up report for nearly two weeks.
Ninety six countries with an A.I. voice must mention there he is again for nearly two weeks.
Ninety six countries at the United Nations COP 16 Biodiversity Conference have been assessing progress on national plans and financing to halt the decimation of species as the gathering draws to a close.
The Brazilian environment minister remains optimistic that negotiations will be fruitful.
The expectation is that we can leave here with decisions that are commensurate with the crisis that biodiversity is facing worldwide.
Nonetheless, there are still many differences of opinion between developing countries and richer nations, especially around financing.
Developing nations have called for the creation of a new, more easily accessible fund.
This measure has been so far rejected by the European Union, with the French minister saying that the creation of yet another fund would not solve the matter of how countries access such funds.
The UN secretary general warned that money alone is not enough.
What you need is a political priority at the government's level, a political priority at multilateral institutions level and a clear commitment of the private sector to be involved.
Parties hope to reach an agreement at the final plenary session on Friday evening.
Regardless, participants have agreed on the choice of host for the next UN biodiversity conference in 2026.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the UN's.
I thought there was a climate change meetup.
It is a climate change meetup.
But thank you.
He said specifically as a biodiversity meetup.
They mentioned this three times in the beginning of the report.
And thank you for noticing that.
This program, this podcast.
Has been so ahead of this nonsense.
This is from COP 16.
That we have a jingle that is over a decade old.
We knew this would play.
We knew biodiversity would play just as we knew in 2012 that the vaccines were the future of pharma.
You got to stick with this program, people.
It's biodiversity.
It's unbelievable that it doesn't.
Well, you can't just say keep saying we need money for climate change.
No, we need money for biodiversity.
Umpity ump amounts.
How do you what is what what is that specifically if somebody wants umpty ump a bunch of money?
What is good?
What do you do with it?
This money to make by you put a tree in the ground or do you plant some grass?
How do you know you organize a grizzly bear back in Yellowstone?
I mean, what do you specifically do you do?
You organize more meetups.
Yeah.
More trips.
Where were they going?
I forgot.
Let me see.
Where are they going next year?
Huh?
In the report locations and on their time off, they'd often go for a run as well.
Oh, sorry, that's the wrong one.
Well, I want to know where were they going?
And so it's reached such unfathomable levels.
Oh, man, I'm getting everything wrong now.
Here's the here it is.
I want to hear where they go in the new meetup conference in 2026.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the U.N.'s COP 29 climate change conference starting November 10th.
The next meetups in November.
In 2026.
No.
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, that's what you said.
Have agreed on the choice of host for the next U.N. biodiversity conference in 2026.
You're right.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the U.N.'s COP 29 climate change conference.
No.
Starting November 10th.
No, no, no, no, no.
Armenia is doing the 2026 biodiversity conference.
today and the November, I think that's as you're by John is doing the November event cop.
Let's see.
Cop.
November.
Let's see.
It's very confusing.
The AI voice is not giving me good information.
By the way, these are big operations.
These companies, Deutsche Welle, France 24.
Can't you just grab one of the secretaries or somebody to do the voice?
What do you have to use the AI voice for?
You got people there that could use the credit and they'd want to do it.
They do it for, you know, just what their regular salary is.
I'd be glad to jump on a mic.
So I understand now Armenia is doing the 2026 biodiversity and in seven days, one hour, 43 minutes and 12 seconds, because I'm looking at the UN climate change website, Azerbaijan is hosting the next meetup.
So that's coming up.
I thought this was a meetup that you're being discussed as we speak.
This is this is COP 16.
That's taking place right now in Colombia.
It has to be.
They just dropped a date.
It's not been five days.
It's going to be in a number of years.
No, it says UN climate change conference, Baku, November 2024, 11th of November to 22nd of November, 2024.
That's what they do.
What do you think the money's for?
Are they doing them?
Do what?
One back to back to back?
Yes.
Climate.
You have the climate change action summit.
You've got the high level segment summit.
This is a waste of money.
No, that's what it's all about.
It's not wasting any money for these people.
Give us some more money.
We're going to fix climate change.
Give us some more money so we can do it on the meetup.
And then they get the Guterres that we have a we needed to make a political priority.
Shut up.
All of you.
UN.
Oh, man.
I hope I pray that if Trump is president, just defund the UN.
Just stop it.
Let them all pay for their own parties.
Yeah, we paid the bulk of the UN.
All these meetups.
It's annoying.
All right.
Get me.
Make me feel better with some tick tock clips.
Well, I guess I got the pro and con clip.
Seriously.
Let's start with.
Let me get into it.
All right.
Thank you.
So this is a guy, a black guy with a hat that I always thought was interesting, says is a big red MAGA hat, but it says Adam on it.
I want to make sure I got this correct.
You hate white men unless they're gay.
You love black people unless they're conservative.
You're for illegal immigration as long as they don't come into your home.
You want to ban guns, but you want the government to still have theirs.
You hate capitalism, but you expect these corporations to change their logo for Pride Month.
You hated slavery, so you hate the party that was formed to abolish the slaves.
You hated slavery, but you align with the party that was for keeping slaves.
You don't recognize two genders unless you're talking about their hormones.
You hate American values, but yet you want to still live here.
Your party controls the House, the Senate and the presidency, but it's everyone else's fault.
You hated the Trump administration, but you're concerned for Mike Pence's life.
You say black people can't be racist, but Candace Owens, Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder are white supremacists.
You want to ban guns to save children, but keep abortion to murder them.
Comment if I missed anything.
Did you smash that like button?
Smash the like button.
That brings me to this clip, which is the funny clip, the bonus clip, which says Dunny instead of funny.
But play this.
This is something that I thought was amusing.
And this is classic.
The Democrats have no sense of humor clip.
I put a lawn sign in my front yard, and I don't think I should be subjected to these fraudulent mailers.
When this 50 year old Shrewsbury woman put up a Harris wall sign in front of her home, she just wanted to show her support.
She never imagined she would be subjected to a campaign dirty trick.
It really creeped me out.
She was dismayed when the mail arrived this week and she received this postcard.
It purports to be from the Harris campaign thanking her for putting up a sign and alerting her a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her home.
That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset.
It's absolutely a scare tactic.
It was hilarious.
I love that.
I love that one.
Scare tactic.
Yeah.
Some joker.
It's a great idea.
I thought it was genius.
It's like those men on the street, like, oh, you know, would you take an immigrant into your home?
And then they say, yes, of course I would.
And they say, well, here's Muhammad.
Oh, no, no, I don't actually have room right now.
Let's go to the tick tock clip.
This is a dude for Harris literally crying.
I've never felt this much hope before for America, this proud before of America.
And I don't think people realize how historic this moment truly is and where this speech will go down in history.
We'll go down with Kennedy.
It will go down with Martin Luther King.
And we really don't understand at this moment how historic times we live in because we're kind of stuck in it.
We just want to get through this election.
But God are just a few days from the election.
It feels so good to feel so hopeful.
It's genius because it's clear one campaign is trying to bring people together and the other campaign is trying to tear people apart.
In moments in history where we have just felt fear and frustration and depression to feel hope, to feel like we're about to turn the page, to feel like she spoke to every voter out there and said, like, I really think she changed some hearts and minds today.
In these last few years have been nothing but like darkness and dark period of history.
And for her to get this opportunity for Biden to drop out, her to get this opportunity, she had to do everything perfect.
She couldn't make any mistakes, especially as a woman of color.
And she crushed the debate.
She's crushed her, crushed his speech now.
And she has not fumbled the ball once right before the election.
And you can see that Donald Trump just fumbled with his speech at Madison Square Garden.
So I have to thank her, too, because like she's done everything she's needed to do to win.
The only thing now is us as Americans.
We have to go out and vote.
Like I'm in California.
If you haven't voted in California, go vote, talk to your friends, talk to your family, get them to watch the speech, especially if they're on the other side.
Because I genuinely think that this speech here will go down in history with some of the greatest speeches we've ever had.
So and to Kamala Harris, I just really appreciate everything.
Thank you for not fumbling the ball.
Thank you for being such a great, powerful candidate.
And yeah, I'm crying, all right.
But to feel genuine hope like this, just out from the election, as opposed to fear, division, divisiveness, fear, I appreciate very much.
Well, that was a jip.
You can't hear that he's crying.
Yeah, his tears are coming down his eyes.
OK, well, let's go to someone who is crying.
That was a mistake because you looked at the you looked at the clip and it looked great in video.
No.
Well, he said he admitted he was crying, so that's a plus.
No, but he didn't even go, I'm crying.
He wasn't.
OK, well, let's go.
Now, this one, by the way, this next clip is not safe for work.
We cover your children's ears.
This is a woman.
This is an example of the great bringing together idea of Kamala Harris, as opposed to the divisiveness of Trump.
And this is a this is the psycho chick.
And she is crying.
I hate you, you fucking orange pumpkin.
You just called me one of the most important people in my life, my dad, Donald Trump.
I hate you.
You will never be president again.
You bastard.
You caused me.
My dad, my dad was the most important person in the world to me.
But now his colors are finally out.
I hate you.
You fucking orange pumpkin bed.
I hate you, you stupid, stupid, failed fucking businessman.
You fucking second me, you and all of your fucking Trump supporters.
Fuck you.
Now, what what does Trump do to her dad?
Her dad's going to vote for Trump.
And I guess he told his daughter, who's nuts, well, and this is sad, John, this is this is a I don't I don't even find it funny.
I find it very sad.
That that that people are this afflicted, there was definitely an affliction.
She should be locked up.
You're right.
No, no.
She needs deprogramming from.
Mainstream media.
Which and clips of mainstream media on social media.
She should get rid of her.
Get a flip phone.
You know, that's how we start.
She needs she needs some love.
She needs to compassion.
I don't have her email for you so you can't help her.
You know.
Here's what bothers me about these people.
Why are you going on TikTok expressing yourself like this?
What is what does it accomplish?
Yeah, listen, look, that's the whole point is because of TikTok that she is in this state of mind.
It's a it's a loop.
It's a loop.
You do that and then you get, oh, I'm so sorry.
It's a loop.
This is all right.
OK.
Social media is bad.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not going to argue that.
So let's go.
So is the phone.
Let's go to this black woman who is.
I saw her.
She's great with the with.
She's got a weird.
OK.
And we're even 17 up.
Everybody has a Trump hat on.
Yes.
That has hair coming out of the top of his red, red hair is great.
I don't know where she got this hat, but this I want one.
Is this the one who's wearing the the bag?
And she is wearing a bag.
So I just went and voted right around the corner from my house here in California.
And I pull up, I take my little hat off, but I don't take my garbage bag off.
Yes.
Now, finally, I'm going to tell you something.
I am in the most liberalist state, probably out the whole damn union.
OK.
California is pretty blue here.
OK.
Why everybody showing up in their trash bags?
The lady was like, I guess you're not going to tell me why you have a trash bag on either, huh?
And I looked at her and I looked at everybody and everybody looked at me like, you better not say nothing.
I ain't saying nothing.
You will have to Google it, lady.
Why we all wear trash bags.
This is why we wear trash bags.
So I'm I'm detecting a trend here and I need to make a comment.
You have watched so much tick tock that you are making meta segments about tick tock videos, but you've seen them.
If you haven't seen the lady with the trash bag, the gag isn't as funny.
If you don't see the guy with tears running down his face, it's not as you should do a tick tock series about tick tock videos.
You let's get a producer out to jobs of tick tock is already doing this.
Right.
So but but it misses the mark.
I feel if I saw this one and I didn't clip it because like, well, you can't see the bag.
She's wearing a trash bag, which is fantastic.
Yeah.
And the gag at the end where she puts a hat back on.
But you don't see that on the podcast.
Yeah, I'm not going to argue that this is the problem we should do.
We should only be video podcasting.
Yes.
So that we made that point earlier that the podcast should be video with ads, with ads.
All right.
You're going to you're going to take it home now.
You're going to bring it home.
Let's go with the we'll never sleep talk clip.
We'll never sleep with a man who voted for Donald Trump.
The vote for him is a vote against my rights as a woman to protect myself and make decisions about my body.
It means he does not respect me as a woman or think that my life and my choices have value.
Women know who you're voting for and know who you're sleeping with.
OK.
Wasn't my, my, my, me, me, me.
There's a lot.
These guys are very self-centered.
Yeah.
And then, of course, we have this is the final one.
We can do one more.
This is the demon pronouns.
Now, this one is a tick tock video.
You're here.
You're dead right about.
You should see the video here because this is some screwy non-binary couple and it's overlaid with a bunch of these, by the way, out there with a black guy who never says a word.
He's just mugging.
This is what you should do.
You should do this kind of format where they play the the the nutty tick tock video in the back.
And you're just in the front of it, just hamming it up and making faces.
This is addressed as the tech grouch.
I'm telling you, it's a guaranteed hit.
Oh, the tech grouches as the.
Yeah.
Well, that's what this guy's doing.
He's go.
What?
You could just.
He's not saying anything, though.
And it makes it very funny.
But the clip itself is actually quite good.
This is using the pronoun demon.
Now, what is what's wrong with these people?
I don't know.
I mean, Jasper, you say pronouns.
Hi, my name is Leona.
I use a demon pronouns.
This video is how to use our pronouns.
So we only use this thing, then pronouns and demon pronouns.
So the first sentence would be Leona is my partner.
They are cute.
And I am theirs.
I love them very much.
And I hope they love themselves, too.
For the demon pronouns, it would be Leona is my partner.
Dean is cute.
And I belong to Dean.
I love them very much.
And I hope the most himself, too.
Then interchanging the two would be Leona is my partner.
They are cute.
And I am Dean's.
I love demon very much.
And I hope they love demon self, too.
Okay.
I rest my case on the lack of video.
Okay.
Now that you mentioned it, I take you seriously with some of your your producer chops.
And I think bringing back the tech grouch on tick.
I can get ahold of Carlos.
Yes.
Who used to produce this.
I think the tech.
Because I've been here once a while.
Yeah.
To bring back the tech grouch.
Well, I think about it every so often.
I say, you know, that materials, you know, it was good in this day.
And it was hard to do that.
I can't do it now.
I don't have the materials would be so different.
But, but, but using it as a foil against the tick tocks that are out there as a kind of a meta.
Yes.
That you would be.
You would make umpity ump views.
I would make umpty umpty umpty umpty umpty.
It would be.
It's a very, it's one of your best ideas.
The only good phone's a landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
There you go.
The tech grouch.
We're reviving him.
The tech grouch Lazarus.
He will live again.
I am excited.
Call Carlos.
I'm telling you, this is a guaranteed hit and you can become part of the tick tock ecosystem.
Which I've always wanted to be part of before they shut it down.
Speaking of umpty ump.
Cammie Knight's here in the studio.
Good evening to you, Cammie.
Google is facing its heftiest fine yet.
That's right.
It's a number that's difficult to say or even conceive.
Have a go.
It's so high.
It's Russia.
That's fine in Google.
The equivalent of $20 billion.
That's $20 billion trillion trillion.
And involves a lot of zeros.
34 to be exact.
A sum much greater than the size of the world's total GDP.
The gargantuan amount stems from Google's refusal to pay fines for blocking pro-Russian channels on YouTube.
State news agency TASS says the fine doubles every day it's not paid.
Hence why it's reached such unfathomable levels.
Even the Kremlin's spokesperson struggles with the figure and says it's largely symbolic but that Google should take it seriously nonetheless.
$20 decillion dollars.
I didn't even know that that number existed.
Which of course is what the whole report is about.
No one cares.
I'm glad you got this clip because I saw it too and I didn't clip it.
Yeah, because you were too busy clipping TikTok.
Even though you didn't get my clips, we only overlapped on one series.
You were too busy watching TikTok.
I'm concerned.
Oh, please.
Back to legacy media.
M5M falling apart.
I was mostly watching during the last week or watching the World Series and the Yankees have their asses handed to them by the Dodgers.
Hello.
I'm not old enough to care.
Yeah.
No, you're.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
I'm trying to think.
No, I got you.
I got you.
KTLA.
Channel 5 in Los Angeles has a report.
It's bad if you're in mainstream.
Comcast, the largest cable company in America.
Well, for a while, it was a sweet deal for them to own TV stations because if you're a cable company, you can put them on everyone's cable plan and make them pay for it, whether they want to watch them or not.
That's a good deal.
But in the age of streaming, maybe not so much.
And what's very interesting here is that on their earnings call today, the president of Comcast, Mike Kavanaugh, came out and said that the company is thinking about spinning off its TV assets into a separate company.
Now, what that means is things like MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, USA, Syfy, those will all be moved to this other company.
But the main company, Comcast, would maintain NBC Universal and obviously the network and the movie studio of the same name and also the theme parks.
But the key thing about this is, is that these TV networks that were once viewed as hugely profitable for Comcast are now, well, an albatross around their neck because in the age of streaming, you can't force channels down people's throats anymore like you used to be able to.
Now, there's a Darwinian struggle out there to try and get channels through, and that's very difficult.
So what Comcast is clearly thinking about doing here is spinning away all these once lucrative TV channels so they're not overhanging the parent company anymore.
And that speaks volumes about the current status of the TV world.
And the reason is people are too interested in looking at nut jobs on TikTok.
That's the level.
That's it.
And it's all it takes.
You know what they're going to call that new company?
Plus.
No, just plus.
Plus.
It's called plus.
Plus.
Well, this is a very interesting development that has got everybody shook.
Yeah.
Especially on MSNBC because they all expect, you know.
Get fired.
Get canned.
Adios, mofos.
I think most of them should be fired and canned.
This stuff is redundant.
But look at what's happening.
They are paying.
I just look at some of those panels.
There must be $10 million a year sitting on the panels.
And then Joe Rogan's in the studio with Jamie.
And, you know, 60, 70 million views with Trump, whatever that means.
He's got the lineup.
He's got JD Vance.
And then he's got Federman, who's crazy.
Kamala, who won't come.
You know, it's like all eyes on Rogan.
And it's interesting to watch.
People are sitting there for the number one thing you do in television.
Stay tuned.
Don't go away.
I'm coming up.
Here's a tease.
Oh, but be careful.
You don't want to go anywhere.
And Rogan's like, let's talk for three and a half hours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's great.
So, you know, what's funny about Rogan's show and ours in the same vein, is that when I was at, we're working at pod show media, the thing was, oh, you got to do five minutes.
No, maximum five minutes.
Short, short format.
What was it called?
Short something.
Yeah.
Yes.
You're right.
I'm saying I'm affirming.
No, I know.
But we had, there was a term for short form.
Short form.
Short form video.
Yeah.
It's the latest thing all the kids talk about.
That was after juiced.
Oh, juice.
Everybody's got to be like juiced.
Juiced.
Juiced seems to stick in your craw.
It pissed me off because we had a meeting with Kleiner Perkins, and we're sitting there.
And who's the woman who later sued Kleiner, sued one or two of the partners for sexual harassment?
Yeah, that Chinese woman, right?
Yeah.
She was sitting there as a partner in the meeting at the big conference table.
Yeah.
You know, podcasts, it's, you know, it's really morphing.
Can you be more like juiced?
She said that?
Oh, yeah.
Juiced?
Yeah.
They all had juiced.
You know, I think probably 90% of our audience doesn't remember or even know about juiced.
J-O-O-S-T.
Right.
Also the name of Colin Juiced.
Or it's Dutch for Yoast, and because the guys who started Skype who then did Juiced were Dutch.
Yeah.
And, yeah, it was a, what, I wrote a whole column on it.
I'd have to go back and review the column because I can't even remember, and I should be able to, what the problem with it was, except for the fact that it was no good.
That's all I remember.
You know, here's a story.
Here's a story for you.
I do not have, I'm looking for your, oh, Juiced blog?
No.
So it's 2000, end of 99, 2000.
I'm back in Europe in the Netherlands.
I'm working on some video stuff with people, actually kind of an early YouTube, funny enough.
Another billion-dollar idea I didn't cash in on.
Not saying that I invented YouTube, but we were doing stuff like that.
And there were these two guys who were in this apartment in Amsterdam, and they're working on this thing.
And, you know, we met at some hacker, I was around kind of a little hacker community.
And when I say hacking, like hacking code, putting stuff together, trying to figure out what we're doing.
We had a company called Jambi, just anarchy made by you.
So that was the whole idea was you, I know.
A pun.
Yes, yeah, went nowhere.
A whole bunch of issues.
And these two guys were like showing me this thing, this phone, telephone conferencing thing.
And I had a distinct opportunity to, and I had money too, which I was spending on helicopters and castles and dumb stuff.
I had an opportunity to invest in this company, which they called, what was it called?
Oh yeah.
Skype.
Oh really?
Yeah.
And so now I'm doing a podcast with you.
Wow.
That's a great fall from grace.
Serves you right.
What did they sell that for?
$3 billion to Microsoft?
That's okay.
You would have blown it on helicopters.
You can buy a lot of helicopters for that kind of money.
Oh boy.
Just like poor Ed Iacobucci was the guy who invented, he had some product that Microsoft bought and made him rich.
He was worth 500 million.
And he blew the whole thing up on, on jet leasing.
Oh, that's.
He felt that, you know, he should put all his money in and he lost five, you know, you lost a lot, but he lost 500 million and everyone's just still and poor guy died prematurely after that.
Oh, well.
He's a nice guy too.
I knew him.
So, okay.
This is interesting.
You bring this up.
So same period.
And so I had the castle in Belgium and my business partner who turned out to have a fake name and was wanted by the Scotland yard for grand theft and larceny and smuggling MDMA, which the whole, the whole company failed.
We had a data center called data barn right there on the Amsterdam internet exchange.
I mean, we were set up for many things way too early.
And so, and he had sold his company Euro net to France telecom.
So we both had cash.
We're like, let's go spend the money.
And so the idea was, cause he also had a house in Belgium.
We would start a helicopter, a fractional ownership helicopter company so that we could then fly from Amsterdam to Belgium in, you know, 25 minutes versus two hours by car.
And, and I landed literally had a helipad at the castle.
And so we, we bought an Augusta one Oh nine E power twin turbine, six passenger helicopter had another one on order.
And and you know, it's with fractional than people buy shares and they get an X number of hours to use it.
The whole idea was we would then be able to use our hours for free because other people were buying into this company.
And we actually had a couple people getting ready to buy.
And then nine 11 happened and nobody wanted to fly anywhere.
So then my partner timing, Oh, it gets better.
So then my, this is a good story.
Then my partner sent an email and we said we had three companies, data barn, Jambi and rotor jet, which was that you can still, if you, it's hard to find kind of, if you look for rotor jet on, in Google images, we had female pilots, Marine pilots dread.
We had cool uniforms for them.
It was a slick operation.
It was really fun.
And they weren't, you know, X military X Marines.
And so then he decides to send an email one morning subject line, living a lie.
And where, and he says this whole be like, and he sent it to investors, bankers, all of our customers.
So everything fall.
And then he runs away to Cambodia where he eventually dies.
We think, we don't know.
Wait, he sent an email out confessing to all his sins.
Yes.
Why?
Good question.
And so he left me holding a big bag, a big, but that's where all my money went.
So, you know, I closed everything down.
I paid everybody off.
Then the, the Dutch IRS was like, you're, you committed fraud.
I had to fight that.
You know, they seized a half of the, I was, it was a mess.
That's what sounds like a nightmare.
That's why I wound up doing a reality television show because my bank accounts were frozen.
And, and you know, I, it's a great, and so, and I produced it myself with like two people on staff.
And I think we, we got enough money for me to, to get by.
So we did it.
We did 12 episode, one season of a, of a reality show anyway.
So the helicopter company, so that didn't work.
And I, but I still had some customers who wanted to fly.
So I, I got rid of the Augusta.
We sent that off to Brazil, you know, huge loss on that, of course, and got a Eurocopter one 20, which is four passenger with one pilot, three in the back and the one passenger in the right hand seat.
And, you know, I had slogans, I had marketing, we had deadheads that we were selling for very cheap and it was, and people kind of dug it.
And then this, this former Marine pilot, she gets a fear of flying while flying.
What?
Oh yeah.
So with customers.
Well, no wonder you found Jesus.
Well, it's interesting.
You say that.
So now I'm like, I know she lands.
Okay.
But you know, so, and then I literally look at him and say, okay, God, I guess you don't want me to have a helicopter company, but I guess not, I guess not.
But I did do two things.
So one around that time, I think it was a new year's Eve, 2000.
And I said, this is before the nine 11 thing.
And we had the helicopter company.
And so we always had to land at Schiphol airport.
Cause there was no, no heliport anywhere in the Amsterdam area.
There was a horrendous fire in fallen dumb where I think 60 kids burned to death.
It wasn't a nightclub.
It was a horrible, horrible disaster on new year's Eve.
They were trapped.
They, and, and so they had to take all these kids to the burn unit, which is up in the North of the Netherlands.
And they have lifeline helicopters on top of the hospital who by law, we're not allowed to take off after 7.
P.M. So they had to drive these kids two and a half hours to the burn hospital.
So I said, that's it.
I'm building a heliport and the first people who were there and you can use it for free is the lifeline helicopters.
So, and I actually, this is how crazy this is.
This is just crazy money time.
There was a, a windmill, one of these bogus windmills right in the flight path of where we wanted this heliport.
I paid a hundred thousand euros to have it moved so that we could have this heliport installed.
Long story short, that all falls apart.
The whole company falls apart.
I sell the heliport for one euro to heli Holland, just so they, so it wouldn't go away.
It's still an operation today.
It's still used for lifeline flights, but I liked the flying so much.
That's when I learned how to fly myself.
And that's how I started with helicopters, learning how to fly helicopters.
And, and so here I am doing a podcast with you.
Yeah.
Well, luckily you're not.
Yeah.
Luckily what you're not doing the financing.
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah.
That'd be fun.
Yeah.
And, uh, I, I, I will say I've never felt better in my life in the past 17 years.
I love what we do.
I love doing the show.
We love my truck.
I love, I don't have a truck anymore.
I love doing the show.
Uh, and I love that we've been able to keep doing it.
And that is thanks to our producers.
Uh, we thanked our executive and associate executive producers earlier.
This is my livelihood.
Absolutely.
Uh, the podcast index, just to be sure that there's no money, zero Adam and Dave take zero money.
It's all value for value just to keep the databases running.
So I appreciate it that our producers bless us so much that we can pay the bills and continue to do that for at least four more years.
We hope it would be nice to do it.
And I want to mention some before, when we, after we break from this, this list, I do have one more clip I have to play to get it out of the way, which is the Boeing update.
Since we reported that strike thing was over and I have new information negotiations that resumed between Boeing and it's striking machinists union NPRs, Joel Rose reports, the signs were back at the bargaining table yesterday with the strike in its seventh week, the machinists union representing some 33,000 striking workers.
It had a quote, productive face-to-face meeting with Boeing.
The union said those talks were held with the assistance of acting secretary of labor.
Julie Sue, the work stoppage has crippled production at Boeing's airplane factories in the Pacific Northwest for more than seven weeks.
The financial impact on the company and its suppliers is mounting.
Although Boeing announced this week that it will raise billions of dollars by selling stock and other securities to shore up its balance sheet.
The two sides have gotten closer on wages, but key issues, including retirement benefits remain.
Okay.
So this is the best they can do for reporting.
This Mimi dug up all the real stories and they, and they're only played up in the Pacific Northwest.
And I, cause it never made sense to me that these guys are on strike like this because they're getting a good offer.
What was happened years ago when they got a raise years ago, Boeing promised them.
And this reminds me of James Baker promising Russia, we're not going to move NATO.
Right?
We're not going to go another inch East lies.
Boeing told his employees, Hey, we're going to give you a raise in exchange for the fact that we're going to have to pull your, your retirement, but the retirement, right, right.
They got rid of that.
Go away.
And they, and the counter was, wait a minute.
Okay.
We'll do that deal.
We'll do, we'll go along with the program, but you can't move the operations out of the Seattle area to the Southern States.
And Boeing said, okay, no more retirement benefits.
You got to, you get a big raise and we're going to stay here.
And within a few years, they open up a new facility.
It was South Carolina or North Carolina.
One of those Carolina is Lindsey Graham state.
Yeah.
They move it.
They put a big operation there and it said, wait a minute.
That's what you promised not to do that.
And that has been the sticking point with this negotiation.
And it's not being reported by the mainstream.
Of course not.
They're too busy holding onto their jobs for dear life.
They get put into a, into a special, a special little company that can, they can pull the rug rug on at any moment.
They're dead.
They're done.
It's done, Jim.
They're dead.
What are they going to report on that?
He's dead, Jim.
Exactly.
John, please, if you don't mind, thank our producers, $50 and above for their support of the show.
we, we have a few, very few, unfortunately, but Baron Latican leads us off in Houston, Texas, a hundred dollars.
And John Robinette comes in with a hundred, the Duke of San Francisco, who was at the meetup a hundred dollars.
And he, I have to ask him.
He's a real, it's a total Duke because we, if it's true, I never thought about this.
We don't have a jingle for him.
Foley?
I'm going to have to ask him where his, what is his status?
Is he Archduke?
Wait, I think we do have a jingle.
For the Duke of San Francisco?
Is that Foley?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Is he from Silicon Valley or California?
He's going to correct me on it.
I'm sure.
We'll find out.
Who is the Duke of San Francisco?
The Duke of San Francisco is Ben.
I don't know if he wants his last name revealed, but he's a dude named Ben.
Ask him what he wants.
I'm going to ask him about it.
I'll make sure we get the jingle.
Yeah, if he's a full Duke.
We've just been taking him for granted.
He's always donating.
So it's quite possible.
I bet he is.
I'm sure he is a Duke.
Anyway, he comes to all the meetups.
He's a good guy.
Anyway, onward with Angela Garcia.
She's also in San Francisco with $100.
Thank you for your courage.
Robert Montoya in Pleasant Hill, California, $100.
Angela was at the meetup, I believe.
That was Angela.
Looks like it.
Yeah, she comes to all the meetups, too.
She's coming to you, baby.
Kevin McLaughlin.
We have a lot of regulars.
Kevin McLaughlin.
That's Steve.
Crazy Steve orchestrates this.
He does a great job.
Although this time I didn't get much in the way of free wine except from Steve himself.
Not that I'm complaining.
I don't need wine.
Kevin McLaughlin in Concord, North Carolina, $8008.
There he is.
The Duke of Luna, and he's not listed for anything here.
Duke of Luna and lover of American boobs.
Lover of American boobs, or American boobs.
Gordon Walton in Austin, Texas, right down the street from you, $6177.
Hold on a second.
He says that's the Motorola 6800 processor plus fees, and it's credited to his son John's upcoming baronet title.
Gordon, by the way, speaking of regulars, is a regular.
He's the first meetup, before I lived in Austin, the meetup that made me move to Austin because I loved it so much.
Gordon drove me around.
He is way up the peerage ladder, I'm afraid.
He may be Duke as well, but we just call him, hey Gordon, hey Gordo, Sir Gordo.
Thank you, Gordo.
He named it for the Motorola 6800 processor, and he says he was an assembly programmer.
Assembly language.
Yeah, seems right.
Which is what the creme de la creme, probably doesn't do it anymore.
I'm sure it's tedious.
No, he retired from that lucrative job.
Probably, yeah.
Mark Hardwick, another Texan, he's an Alito, 6006, small boobs, Brian Furley, 515510, Heather Harper in Lubbock, Texas, another Texan, 5333, John Bassano in Madison, Alabama, 5272, John Sirluke in London, UK, 52, he's got called out in the last meetup report.
He says he'll be there to the next one.
He's Sirluke, the Earl of London in the Southeast.
I think I met him, maybe.
Christian Grulish in Winterhaven, Florida, 5150, Sirloin of Winterhaven, he's got a birthday.
Billy Bones in Powell, Tennessee, 5105.
He gets a title upgrade, the proper name on his paperwork.
He would henceforth like to be known as Commodore Baron Bones, the Knight of Twin Peaks.
And we will make that happen momentarily.
Sir Montauk in Fremont, California, 5005, and the rest of these people are $50 donors, just names and locations.
I'm going to give you them one after the other, starting with Jordan Hojno in Salem, Oregon, and he's a knighting note you have to read.
Yes, hello, John Adam, really glad to make this donation today as it marks an important milestone.
Knighthood, I really appreciate everything you do for the world, helping keep people's sanity intact.
I'd like my knight name to be Sir Hino of the Mid-Willamette Valley, and would like Eggnog for the round table.
Thank you guys again.
Sincerely, Jordan Hojno, certain to be Sir Hino.
Bebe in Bluegrass, Iowa.
Jennifer Prebanik, I guess, Prebanik, and she's in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
As Alexander Pascoe in Milton, Ontario, Canada, needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Foster Birch in New York City, Daniel LaBois, Sir Daniel in Bath, Michigan, Matt Frazee
in St. John's, Florida, James Scharametta in Nappanuck, New York, Jacob Martinez in
El Monte, California, Alex Wenta in Manchester, New Hampshire, and last on our very short
list of a total of 34 people, including executive producers, I don't know what happened, but
we had a very lousy turnout here for today's show.
Leslie Walker, though, she's there for us in Roseburg, Oregon, and you are my go-to for all information that's relative or relevant, relevant, relevant.
Yeah, we agree with that.
We're a public service podcast.
And we're plus.
And a plus.
Thank you to these producers.
Also, thank you to everyone who came in under $50 for reasons of anonymity and, of course, the sustaining donors.
Any amount, any frequency, you make it up yourself by going to noagendadonations.com.
I did want to read one note from one of our producers, Drone Dork Will, who is my go-to for all things drone-related.
He really knows everything.
It's a sad note, but I wanted to share, he asked me to share this, and he asked me if it would be okay.
I said, I think we should.
I said, I've had some sad news and just some advice, hopefully, to pass on to your fellow producers.
Also, just need to do anything to feel different right now, and no agenda is a safe space for me.
My father, William Nelson Chambers III, passed away last Saturday.
I shared the same name, but I am the fourth.
He served the United States Air Force during Vietnam as security patrol for our plane stationed there.
We can all thank him for his service.
He had a stroke a few years back and never fully recovered and became very bitter and honestly just not the dad that I remember.
The last time I saw him, he told me to leave his house because I voted for Trump.
I even tried to explain why, no new wars, anti-war at the time, he spouted off the common talking points we hear from CNN and MSNBC about Trump hating veterans.
I don't want the same thing that happened to my dad and gave him severe PTSD that I grew up around.
He was just not the same person, clearly propagandized.
I hold none of this against him and I know he loved me and was also proud of everything I do.
I tried many times to contact him and never got a response.
So please, producers, listeners, haters, everybody, don't let petty shit go to the grave and try your hardest to look past the political divide.
I'm praying for my father.
I know he's found peace.
None of the political bullcrap means anything.
Family is family.
And I think that's true.
And I'm glad that he passed that message on to us.
On that downer, neuroscience news, big news reporting about the amygdala.
And we all know that amygdala size matters.
Turns out, turns out, check this out, treating anxiety, depression, other disorders may depend on the amygdala, a part of the brain that controls strong emotional reactions, especially fear.
But a deep understanding of this structure has been lacking.
Now, scientists at the University of California, Davis have identified new clusters of cells with differing patterns of gene expression in the amygdala of humans and non-human primates.
As it turns out, it's not the size that matters, it is the genes in this cluster of the amygdala that determine how fearful you will or will not be.
And this is big news in the scientific community.
More importantly, they're probably going to come out with some vaccine for it from Moderna.
Oh, we're looking forward to that.
I got one then.
This is this research paper just came out and indicated that people who have starting to rely on their navigator on their phone or their car instead of just driving around like they should normally become disoriented in life.
No, it's the same elements in the brain that account for memory.
So as you weaken that segment of the brain, which allows you to get from point A to point B without getting lost because you do it a lot, it hurts your ability to remember anything.
I believe this.
I think that's completely true.
I mean, Prevagen, be damned.
This is the ticket, people.
Put the phone in a drawer.
Thank you very much, producers.
We appreciate all of you.
And again to our executive and associate executive producers.
And you can support us.
Support the show.
Go to noagendadonations.com.
It's your birthday, birthday on No Agenda.
She didn't make the meet up, but she's celebrating with the family.
We're very happy to say happy birthday to Mimi Smith-Dvorak celebrating her birthday tomorrow, along with recalcitrant crazy Steve II.
And we also say happy birthday to Sir Loin of Winterhaven.
That's on behalf of Christian Gruelich.
And that's it.
Happy birthday, everybody, from the best podcast in the universe.
Yeah, a number of people have emailed me.
It's always kind of like that random number theory.
They say, you've ruined David Bowie's changes for me.
All I can hear is title changes.
Well, that's too bad.
And it reminds you, you need to donate.
Because a title change comes with more donations.
And Commodore Sir Bones, the Knight of Twin Peaks, will be known as Commodore Baron Bones, the Knight of Twin Peaks, thanks to additional support for the No Agenda show.
We appreciate that very much.
Let's bring them out, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's bring out our Commodores.
It's only two left.
Remember, it all ends on Election Day.
Time to bring them out.
We welcome Commodore Daniel DeGroff-Broomfield and Commodore Tom Snezek.
Commodores arriving.
Beautiful.
One layaway knight from Silent Ice Cream.
In the morning, gentlemen, I wish to be henceforth known as Sir Silent Ice Cream, Knight of the Nuclear Tumbleweeds.
I can only wonder what he does.
I would request cheeseburgers and espressos to be provided at the glorious round table.
Thank you for the 17 years of sanity.
And you will be knighted.
Well, right now, in fact, we have two of them.
So if you can bring out a little knighting blade.
There you go.
I got a big one.
You heard it here first.
Silent Ice Cream and Jordan Hojno, gentlemen, step up on the podium.
Both of you support the No Agenda show with the amount of $1,000 or more.
Therefore, I'm very proud to pronounce the KB as Sir Silent Ice Cream, Knight of the Nuclear Tumbleweeds, and Sir Hojno of the Midwillamette Valley.
For you, by request, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, along with cheeseburgers and espresso and some eggnog.
Add to that the Rubenesque women and rosé, the geishas and the sake, the vodka and the no, the barn hits and bourbon, the sparkling cider and escorts, the ginger ale and gerbils, the fresh milk and poplum, the beer and the blunts.
Of course, we have the mutton and the mead all here at the round table for you.
So go to noagenderings.com.
That is also for our Commodores.
And if you have a Commodore ship but have not done this yet, go to noagenderings.com to let us know where to send your Commodore title to and what title you want on it.
For the rings for our brand new knights, we need a ring size.
There's a ring sizing guide right there.
And it comes as a signet ring with wax to seal your important correspondence and as always, a certificate of authenticity.
Thank you all very much for supporting us once again here at the No Agenda Show.
No Agenda producers are your first responders in an emergency.
There's no joke about that.
People have noticed it and that's why they continue to go to these meetups.
We have a report.
This one, I believe, is...
Where'd this one come from?
I had to chop this one up.
I got Pittsburgh.
In the morning, John Adams, Sir Christopher from the Pittsburgh meetup.
We had a great time.
I'm gonna pass the phone around.
This is Joel in the morning.

In the morning.
This is Jen of the subs of the Under the Water.

It was a great time.
We give great thanks to Christopher for pulling this together.
It's a good time here in Pittsburgh.
Thank you all for keeping us sane.
In the morning.
It's Allison here.
In the morning.
Steeler Commodore of the Ohio River.
Have a good one, guys.
Thank you, Pittsburgh.
Now we go over to Sir Strack.
He's our knight.
He's more than a knight now in Central Jersey.
Sir R.
Daniels here at the Sir R.
Daniels.
There you go.
Sorry about that, Sir R.
Daniels.
Sir R.
Daniels here at the Garden State Distillery in Toms River, New Jersey.
At our Central Jersey meetup, we drink and we know things.
I do have an identity crisis.
I'm a Viscount and a Commodore.
Am I VC?
Am I Viscount R.
Daniels?
Am I Commodore R.
Daniels?
Not sure.
John and Adam.
This is karaoke.
We are here celebrating the life of Peanut and Fred.
Good morning, John and Adam.
Taking a break from being terminally online to get some real-life amygdala shrinkage.
This is Sir Lee Mofo.
Relocated to New Jersey and loving it.
The force is strong here.
In the morning.
This is Kylie.
In the morning, all.
This is Dave, and I'm looking to fall with my nose in the butter.
This is Mappy.
Great to be back at the 732 meetup.
In the morning.
This is Dave Alcott.
As a New York baseball fan, I am saddened but still woke in the morning.
This is not quite Sir Joseph, who has yet to give you your final 333.33 donation.
I have made two so far, and I'm contemplating it.
If I get some money next month, maybe I will be a knight.
In the morning.
Nice group there in Jersey.
Always nice in Jersey.
Couple of meetups taking place.
Actually, the Myrtle Beach Meet Freely before the election meetup is underway at Myrtle Beach, Florida.
You might be able to get there.
Still, Swig and Swine is the venue.
On Tuesday, Election Day, the Dallas-Fort Worth Mid-Cities Election Watch Party, 6.30 at Kneader Works World HQ in Bedford, Texas.
Sir Nerdworks hosting that for you.
Then our next show day, if the grid is still up, on Thursday, November 7th, the Northern Wake Publica Slave Gathering, 6 o'clock at Hoppy Endings in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Central Colorado Election Hangover Meetup, 6.30 at O'Malley's Pub, Palmer Lake, Colorado, also on Thursday.
And the Cincinnati Election Digestion Meetup, 7 o'clock.
That's in Bramble Patch, Cincinnati, Ohio.
It's Muppet Head's, I believe it's, I don't know if Muppet Head is a rented old place, is that Muppet Head's place?
You have to RSVP for that one.
There are many more meetups on this list, all the way through January, all around the world.
It's really something you need to try out at least once, because I guarantee you'll go back for more.
Connection is protection at the No Agenda Meetups.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
You can't find a meetup near you.
Start one yourself.
What is that noise you make?
What is that thing?
It's a thunder and lightning box.
It's a box?
It's a round, it's hard to describe.
But it's got a long spring that's on the back of it, and it's got like a drum head, which you could punch, and you can do this.
If you wanted to pull on the spring, and when you shake it, when it bangs against stuff, it makes a thundering sound.
Can you make a horse clippety-clop sound with it?
No, of course not.
There's a small version of it somewhere around here.
Uh-huh.
Careful now.
Don't hurt yourself.
This is the best.
Timber!
Hey, do I see that you do not have an end of show ISO?
I do not.
I've decided I'm quitting winning.
I'm winning, winning, winning, and I have to say no.
Stop it.
Okay.
Let Adam win for once.
Well, I only have one.
How come this happens every time I do none?
You have five when I have four, you have six when I have three, and I have none, you have none.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Because I didn't get your clips due to climate change.
We'll play yours and see what it is.
Yeah.
Come on.
I got a laugh out of it.
It was perfect.
Yeah.
All right, everybody, it's time for everyone's favorite moment.
It's John's tip of the day.
With JCD and sometimes Adam.
I had to choose between a couple of things here, but I want to get this one out of the way.
I'll do the drink that everyone's wanting.
Oh, oh, oh, the egg drink.
Yes.
Everyone's excited.
I've gotten emails.
I want it.
Why?
I need this drink.
Everybody wants to know.
So first of all, we've learned that because you are in excellent health.
I mean, I haven't known you sick a day.
Nah.
You had a cough.
I don't get sick.
That's for sure.
You had a cough for like two months.
It was a creepy cough.
Yeah, I had a cough for a while.
That's about it.
That was probably my COVID moment.
It was pre-COVID.
I don't think it was.
I think it was way before COVID.
No, I think I'm the one who had.
That was COVID.
No, you are the super spreader.
But besides that, not using a GPS, I think, keeps you very alert, Spry, and you have a great memory.
Spry, that's it.
Thanks.
What do you mean?
Come on, man.
I'm 60.
Come on, man.
I'm over 60.
I get to say these things.
But you eat well, and you lifted a little tip of the veil on the last show.
And you said, I take a raw egg before every show.
And I thought you just like Tom Cruise and slamming into the glass and gulping it down.
But no, there's a concoction, and everybody wants to try it.
Okay, we'll go with the concoction on this show, even though I wasn't planning on it.
Glad you decided to do it.
This is a drink.
I drink this on show days only.
And the egg is optional.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
The egg is not optional.
Well, if you can't get a good safe egg.
Well, you've got to have a safe egg.
Please get a safe egg.
You need a safe egg.
What is a safe egg?
That means a yard egg or Eric kind of certain chickens can't you don't want to get an egg that's laced with salmonella, which would be a commercial egg.
Can you tell if it has salmonella?
Is there a way to see that?
Can you know?
Because it's now over the years, they don't like talking about it.
But these egg producers have not only got used to be on the shell, you get salmonella.
But now it's gotten inside the egg somehow.
I don't know what the problem is.
So what you want is you want an egg from the chicken from your friend.
An egg from one of these guys that sells egg by the roadside.
That's what you want.
One of those guys.
We just have Jill, the farmer.
Jill.
Jill gives us.
I'm sure she's got a great egg.
OK, so here's what it is.
Just wait.
Can I ask you a question?
When you have the egg from Jill, the farmer, do I need to wash the egg?
But can I just crack it and go?
Just crack it and go.
Not cool.
How dirty is the egg if it's covered with mud?
Well, everyone says like chicken shit, maybe.
Well, the eggs have not been washed.
And I guess the idea is you don't wash them until you want to use them.
Then you wash them.
I'm a little confused by that.
Well, the reason you don't want to wash eggs, fresh eggs, even though you'll find plenty of commercial operations, the eggs are some slightly washed.
Is there's a kind of a coating on the egg that keeps them that if you wash the egg, then they become they can go bad.
Because the shells are not.
I mean, they're pervious.
You can get things can go through the shell.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
So thank you.
I appreciate that.
I have another question.
Is this recipe in the book available at too many eggs dot com?
No.
So this is an eggs plus tip.
This is a plus plus tip.
OK, it's just a milkshake.
And here's what I use.
Here's how it works.
I first of all, I the night before I.
I pulled to all this prep prep involved.
Yeah.
OK.
I pulled two espresso shots into a small glass and put it in the freezer in the freezer.
OK.
Yeah.
So I can have like so it's like a chunk in a chunk of ice, ice coffee.
And I bring it out in the morning, let it thaw a little bit and dump it in.
So I take eight ounces of milk in a blender, eight ounces of milk.
I added to that.
I put a tablespoon of bee pollen.
Heaping tablespoon of bee pollen, a heaping tablespoon of chia seeds.
There's a little.
All right.
That's that's for the thickening.
Then the double shots of cappuccino or not cappuccino, but espresso, two shots of espresso.
Six drops of bio still bio still.
What is bio still bio still is this Japanese invented product that helps you create it helps your body use a cell.
It's not everyone's call it cell cellulite.
It's the connective tissue that these that they buy pills for now.
So BIO SIL.
Yeah.
BIO SIL.
Look it up.
It's on Amazon.
And it's for collagen.
It's a collagen producer.
If you take collagen supplements, especially the new colleges, which are now actually accessible by the body, it's for, you know, your skin.
And so I got six drops of that.
I have to have good skin, too.
I should have mentioned that.
I don't know about that.
But the I don't take care of my skin like you do.
And so moisturize, baby, moisturize.
Okay.
So we were up to the BIO SIL.
We had the key.
Okay.
Then the key ingredient and an egg drop an egg in there if you want.
And then the key ingredient is something I rediscovered about a year ago, which really kind of was funny.
I saw this for sale at the grocery outlet.
Carnation Breakfast Essentials Chocolate.
Ah, there's your secret ingredient that makes it drinkable.
Exactly.
Although I one time left it out and it still was pretty good.
It just wasn't very sweet.
But yes, this used to be when I was a kid, I used to ingest this stuff.
I remember Carnation.
Sure.
Carnation used to be called Instant Breakfast.
Mm hmm.
Like in the 70s and 80s.
It was around the time of the so-called mission to the moon with Tang.
Tang was also popular, but this instant breakfast is now they changed it for some reason, some marketing reason to breakfast essentials.
So you put that in there and you got that big frozen chunk of coffee.
So then you get maximum grind it up in the blender and then you let it set.
Do you unwrap on the blender or?
It depends on your blender, but you want to blast it good.
You want to blast it good, baby.
And so you blend it up and then you wait for it.
Then you have to do the waiting thing because it's the these chia seeds.
Chia or chia?
Chia.
And so those get softened up and then you give it a second round and that's when it thickens up.
And you get a big, rich milkshake.
And that's what I had before the show for our European producers.
Can they use Ovaltine or something if they can't get the Carnation Instant Breakfast?
I'm just telling you what you can do anything you want.
My wife keeps saying, why don't you keep why don't you put brewer's yeast in it?
You know, women, women and brewer's yeast.
I don't know what the connection is, but they love the brewer's yeast and they want you to use it on everything.
So but I don't use you could put that in there, too.
You could put some if you're one of the ladies out there listening, put some brewer's yeast into this concoction.
This is this is a very valuable tip, and I appreciate you sharing this.
What's valuable about it?
It's valuable.
It's a valuable tip.
It's a witch's brew.
It's a very valuable tip.
And Mimi, of course, is in town now.
So do you drink two of these egg concoctions?
I do it twice a week for the show only.
Well, we appreciate what you do for the show.
I like the bacon and eggs.
Thank you for your courage.
Normal breakfast bangers.
There you go, everybody.
That is John's tip of the day.
Go to tipoftheday.net to learn more and how to do it yourself.
There's your value, everybody.
Value.
Live long and prosper.
That's how you should get that.
Bee pollen in you.
Yeah, and the brewer's yeast.
Although we do not recommend it.
We recommend carnation instant breakfast.
I used to love that back in the day.
That's it.
We'll be back.
Have a great election day, everybody.
We'll talk to you on Thursday.
If the grid is still up.
Yeah, it could be down.
That's right.
End of show mix is Leo Lapuuk is back.
Happy to see him with an end of show mix.
David Kekta, who's just been on a roll.
Professor Jay Jones, nice one, from China.
And one of our Clip Collectors, Steve Jones.
Brother of Neil, the Clip Custodian, with a nice They Live mix-up.
Up next on No Agenda Stream, if you're still listening at TrollRoom.io, it is Hog Story, Grandma Nazis.
Oh, that's going to be a banger.
Guaranteed on that.
Again, have a great election day, everybody.
Wet fart is coming.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region Number Six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we say, go out and vote and vote often.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We'll be back on Thursday, God willing.
Till then, remember us at noagendathedonation.com.
Adios, mofos, hui hui and such.
You've got to get out and vote.
You won't have to vote anymore.
In four years, you don't have to vote again.
We'll have it fixed so quick, you're not going to have to vote.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
This woman has no idea what she's doing.
We know what Donald Trump has in mind.
More chaos, more division.
Don't worry about that baby.
I love babies.
Actually, I was only kidding.
You can get the baby out of here.
Elected.
Someone's from my house, they're getting shot.
Probably shouldn't have said that.
These stories, for you to tell these stories, this story is a story that is sadly not the only story.
New ad from the Trump campaign rolled out this week, depicting a montage of all the people the former president says he'll kill if he's elected.
I'm Kamala Harris.
I'm Donald J.
Trump.
And I approve this message.
Hi, you guys.
Hi, Avengers.
Four days out from election day, and former President Donald Trump is escalating his violent rhetoric, suggesting one of his most prominent critics, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, should be fired upon.
It evokes images of an execution.
Let's execute.
The facts are on our side.
It evokes images of an execution.
And I don't blame him for sticking with his daughter.
But his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb.
She's a radical war hawk.
Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrel shooting at her, okay?
Let's see how she feels about it.
You know, with the guns and trains on her face.
Let's execute.
You know, they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building.
The facts are on our side.
It evokes images of an execution.
She's a stupid person.
While all this is going on, Rachel Maddow is still on MSNBC.
Stay woke!
And she rolls out creaky Victoria Nuland.
And, you know, fuck the EU.
Russia-phobe emeritus.
I think that sounds pretty good.
That Vladimir Putin is doing it again.
How dare you?
We are at war with Russia.
What is with this deep-seated hatred of Russia?
Third election in a row in which Russia has tried to interfere.
Shut up already.
Where's the AI to fix all that, huh?
Let's try to get Trump into the White House.
And it seems like Russia is in on it.
A man from the Russians wanted to run our country for the- Pool boy!
Pool boy!
She's bringing up this old trope.
And get them parroting.
Russia!
Russian scum!
Thomas from Russia.
How do you assess the magnitude and the type of interference they're attempting- Stay woke!
This year compared to what they've done in his previous two elections?
This is a reality.
It was about Russia.
He's at it again.
How dare you?
This time he's not even trying to hide his hand and he has far more sophisticated tools.
Where's the AI to fix all that, huh?
Shut up already.
