About this episode

Democratic Party strategists and media outlets including MSNBC and CNN have launched a coordinated messaging campaign using the word "weird" to frame Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. Rachel Maddow utilized the descriptor over 40 times in a single broadcast, while Scott Adams argues the tactic is a professional persuasion technique specifically designed to appeal to young female voters. This rhetorical shift coincides with a sudden media focus on natalism, where pundits on Morning Joe have characterized policies supporting higher birth rates as a facet of white Christian nationalism.

Beyond the domestic campaign trail, the Pentagon announced plea agreements for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other suspects at Guantanamo Bay to avoid the death penalty. In Tehran, the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh inside a high-security Revolutionary Guard compound has triggered a massive intelligence crisis for Iran. Meanwhile, a veteran Secret Service counter-sniper has turned whistleblower, alleging that leadership corruption and technical failures regarding drones at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally will lead to further security breaches before the November election.

Donald Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention featured a sharp exchange with ABC News reporter Rachel Scott over Kamala Harris’s heritage and his past comments on race. The episode also explores the "Daddy Long Legs" body-double theories surrounding Joe Biden and the resurfacing of Tulsi Gabbard’s 2020 debate critiques of Harris. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry break down the latest Podcasting 2.0 developments, including the Podping system for near-instant episode notifications across decentralized platforms.

Democratic Party Weird Campaign Strategy

Democratic Party officials and mainstream media outlets including MSNBC and CNN have coordinated a campaign strategy using the word "weird" to describe Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. A supercut of news broadcasts from late July 2024 demonstrates the repetitive use of the term by pundits and politicians. The strategy aims to frame Republican policies and personal behaviors, such as Vance's comments on "childless cat ladies," as outside the social norm.

00:00 I recommend a tinfoil hat, personally. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday August 1st 2024 this year award winning Kimmel Nation Media assassination episode 1682 This is no agenda We're all weird now! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number 6 in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where Rachel Maddowell is full of shit I'm John C. Dvorak That's right everybody, this is your typical morning zoo show. You heard it right here. Woo! Yeah my daddy was a beetle. Whoa whoa whoa wow okay you're mad at Rachel? What did she do? Show me on the Rachel doll where she hurt ya Well you want me to go to the pitch on weird I'd love for you to go to the pitch on weird

00:58 So the Democrats have decided to use the term weird. Can I just say, can't you say? The stuff that's going on right now is the stuff that media deconstructionists dream of it is so blatantly stupidly obvious. We have three clips okay let's hear them First I have the supercut of the use of the word weird on MSNBC, CNN and various mainstream outlets. Some of what he and his running mate are saying is just plain weird These guys are just weird. That's really as weird and creepy is JD Vance Super Weird idea from JD Vance yeah, I mean it's quite weird They're just playing weird just plain weird Just playing weird that stuff is where they come across weird and then they start being weird Yeah, they're weird a really weird such a weirdo Trump in his weirdo running mate are weird

01:58 deeply and profoundly weird. They are weird! These Republicans just being weird, it's just weird It's really weird. Republican weirdness goes even deeper He said a lot of things that are weird The weird style that he brings Weird policies I want to start with the weird thing because it is a thing Just plain weird What was weird was talking about Diet Mountain Dew Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew? Have you ever seen the guy laugh That seems very weird to me that an adult can go through six and a half years of being in the public eye if he has laughed it's at someone not with someone. That is weird behavior. Weird and cultish These are weird people on the other side He kind of doubled down on his weird ideas I think weird is probably generous Simply weird These guys are just plain weird Vance as weird You know, as the campaign said, weird It really is just plain weird Jadie Vance, plain weird No, but it is kinda weird

02:49 It is kind of weird. We're not afraid of weird people the other side they're just weird Why are you being so weird Vance has done something more extreme or weird no matter what kind of weird stuff They keep saying Trump and Vance are just weird in addition to giving prejudice to democrats That's the weird part that's the most engaging whom he addressed as my beautiful Christians, which was super weird weird text This was really, dare I say it weird that they did this.

CHAPTER 02 / 52 Discussion

Rachel Maddow Weird Supercut Analysis

Rachel Maddow utilized the "weird" descriptor over 40 times during a single 30-minute segment of her MSNBC program on Monday, July 29, 2024. The usage ranged from describing the Trump campaign's "rambling" style to JD Vance's personal background. This concentrated rhetorical shift suggests a top-down directive within the network to adopt specific party messaging.

rachel maddow· msnbc· weird· campaign rhetoric· media analysis

03:37 The definition of weird is strange or of strange or extraordinary character, odd or fantastic. Of relating to or caused by witchcraft or the supernatural magical So it's an odd choice of slam. As we continue, the odd choice would be deconstructed by, of all people, Scott Adams but first of all after they went through this Rachel had her show on Monday not to be outdone she was given her marching orders to use the word weird and this is in the first half hour of the show

04:17 I went through the trouble of cutting out every use of her term weird, 41 seconds full of them in just 30 minutes and here we go. So you ready for a weird one? This is a truly weird one and of all the weird things actually not all that weird... A little weird with the Republican campaign personally weird or that JD Vance is personally weird it's that there is something weird. Weird isn't a pejorative term necessarily who among us little weird, right? Weird is not necessarily bad intrinsically. There is weird stuff like that right on the surface. It was part of his weird rambling never do some weird stuff part of what's so weird about the Donald Trump campaign there's a lot that is weird but there is one last thing in terms of the weirdness of this campaign. The weirdness around this campaign surface level weirdness That's a weird thing! That's a weird thing all of this is weird. Surface-level weird behavior...the weirdness of this campaign is astonishing 99 days out well now I'm very excited to hear Scott Adams because he's

CHAPTER 03 / 52 Discussion

Scott Adams on Persuasion and Young Women

Dilbert creator Scott Adams analyzes the "weird" campaign as a professional persuasion tactic designed to appeal to young women. Adams argues that "weird" is a universal catch-all term used by younger female demographics for anything that does not fit their social model. While Vivek Ramaswamy dismissed the argument as juvenile, Adams suggests the linguistic choice is a calculated move to consolidate the Democratic base.

scott adams· persuasion· vivek ramaswamy· demographics· political strategy

05:12 He's the hypnotist and he understands. What's the term? He always uses you always use a term for it something like What's the term he uses I don't know if we're convincing people is strong not influence It's some other word he uses maybe yeah, the chat room will come up with it as we play his interpretate now I'm not totally convinced of this But at least he's looking... Persuasion. I'm sorry, persuasion. He at least has one handle on it which may or may not be part of it This is part of his...I had to obviously cut stuff out and then I had the container...I had to shorten it because Scott rambles. Talks long! Yes, he's a rambler. But here we go this what he thinks

06:07 is going on. Well, apparently the Democrats have decided that they're gonna use the word weird to describe I guess... By the way it's already working on Scott! He just said the word weird without even intending to say it. That's amazing. Apparently the Democrats have decided that... I'm sorry? I was just gonna say you had to remember this all began with JD Vance calling childless cat women. And that was determined to be weird when in fact, we've all known this idea since The Simpsons for the last 25 years which always had a cat woman in there and there's nothing weird about it but okay here we go. Well apparently the Democrats have decided that they're going to use the word weird to describe I guess Jadie Vance and Trump now you might say yourself weird

07:06 That's like such a weak, overused weird word. And Vivek Ramaswamy has the similar idea he says this whole they're weird argument from the Democrats is dumb and juvenile This is a presidential election not high school prom queen contest It's also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches diversity inclusion Win on policy if you can but cut the crap please Now, I'm gonna tell you what you didn't expect. This is probably professional work. Remember when I spotted dark in the Clinton-Trump election? As soon as they all said Trump's speech is dark, I said whoa that's professional! That's not something regular politicians come up with. That word makes you fear without any details. Oh it's dark? Ooh everything bad is dark

08:00 And then you put all the bad fear that you have for the dark into Trump. Very professional manipulation of minds. Weird is probably that good, here's what you might not know young women Use that word a lot. If you're talking to a young woman about a topic that she's not interested in, and you say oh this or that happened what is she gonna say while she's looking at her phone? Looking at the phone, now that's weird. Then you tell a story about a person who did a thing that isn't usually done

08:36 What is the young woman with the phone say about that person? That's weird. Weird is the universal word that young women use for everything that doesn't fit their model, and it's a good catch-all for their base." Well, Scott Adams is the expert on young women. So we know that I have a young woman in the house here had her here for four weeks and she's definitely on the phone in that age group and I have not heard this term so that's just my one sample yeah I this is a sketchy analysis but it's interesting and he has a counter to this like the whole thing is that when if your

09:25 told anything on the Democrat side, just say it's weird. That was his argument is if they want to try to use this to capture the youth of America and women, but this all about women because the women and it's noticeable in the black community where the black women are all in on Kamala and the black men are little although the black men are still going to be all in on Kamala A greater percentage will go for Trump. I think personally the over and under is going to be 20 percent, at least from what I can call from the conversations but this is... But so just use the word weird a lot when you're referring to anything that Democrats are doing and he thinks that'll probably help but

CHAPTER 04 / 52 Discussion

C-SPAN Caller on Media Talking Points

A Republican caller named Jim from Hudson, Florida, expressed skepticism on C-SPAN regarding the sudden uniformity of media language. He questioned whether a formal memo was sent to ABC, NBC, and Chuck Schumer to synchronize the use of the word "weird" against J.D. Vance. The caller suggested that even voters with moderate intelligence can identify when news organizations are operating from a shared script.

c-span· talking points· media bias· jd vance· republican voters

10:14 It is strange that this is going on and it's so obvious. And I think they've overdone it, and Rachel took it to the limit. Well, I have two clips that connect into this. I agree with you. I think people... They're underestimating the intelligence of people certainly the people who call into C-SPAN and the hosts of C-SPAN Which was rather interesting. Let me see... Jim in Hudson, Florida Republican He's actually calling in about initially about the National Black Journalist Association but then he gets to the weird thing

10:52 Good morning. to Putin, Xi and the fellow from North Korea. That's why he had such success in his four years that he was president. He didn't...He stood up to those people and told them this is my side of the story." Here is a headline in Wall Street Journal this morning at a Vance rally fans brush off his controversies What do you think about the pick by former President J.D. Vance?

11:32 I think J.D. Vance is a very good man, he's of the same religion as I am, he has raised some children and done the right thing but came from a poor background and there is always something that these people are going to hatch onto they have to find something about their weird or something You know, everybody's weird a little bit but that's what their phrase is. Now they must send this out because everybody that has against the Republicans they all start about like he's weird or where do they get that? Is that a memo that goes out to everyone? That's what makes you question about your news media when every one of them that's against the Republicans they all start up with these weird, and ABCs weird NBCs weird. What does this

12:16 come from. Even the speaker Schumer, he's weird. You know if people with any intelligence at all can figure out that and both sides do this. That is what is so bad about it. What are they going to pick on when Harris picks her. Yeah, Jim you're referring to talking points? Talking points that go out by the party officials that go out and all those that receive the talking point... Can't they have their own talk? Why can't they have their own talking points? Why do we have to extend a little memo just start out with he's weird! Alright so everyone seems this C-SPAN host like well yeah thats the talking points send them out you know it was like and as proven

Scott Galloway and CNN Weird Segment

Scott Galloway revealed on the Pivot podcast that CNN producers explicitly invited him to appear on air to discuss "how weird the Trump campaign is." This admission serves as direct evidence of cable news networks soliciting guests to validate specific political talking points. Galloway also referenced the "White Dudes for Harris" movement during the same discussion.

scott galloway· kara swisher· cnn· pivot podcast· talking points

13:01 In my favorite hate listen, everybody loves the favorite hate. Listen pivot, pivot podcast with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway and listen to what he says 200 million bucks in a week. The enthusiasm is granted some of it away that you know they're just getting their attack engine going She'll come under a bunch of warranted and scrutiny that every candidate gets but the honeymoon period is like this is a month-long honeymoon right now Yeah, it's everything every lot of sex happening. Oh my god And I mean Kara this whatever you call white do thing and not weird sex like JD Vance But go ahead dolphins in couches with furniture, I'm not sure even understand what he's being accused of there but anyways the

13:47 I was asked to come on CNN tonight and talk about how weird the campaign is, or the Trump campaign is. And talk about the white dude thing So they called him up and said hey can you uh come on um CNN tonight and talk about the weird thing? You know it's our new talking point certainly if you've heard about it Come on! This is so obvious Wow, that's a good catch. Yeah well it was my hate listen so that's why I caught it now... ...I'm gonna move past weird if you don't mind because we had another fabulous thing happen and it's amazing kind of predicted by Moe that they're gonna go all in race all-in race race race race race race racist racist racist black black black white white white racist racist and as witnessed by the racial zoom calls

CHAPTER 06 / 52 Discussion

White Dudes for Harris Zoom Call

The "White Dudes for Harris" fundraising call featured celebrities and politicians including Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Organizers claimed massive attendance, though technical limitations of the Zoom platform suggest the majority of participants watched a live stream rather than joining the meeting directly. The event focused on reclaiming American symbols from the MAGA movement and organizing white male voters for Kamala Harris.

white dudes for harris· jeff bridges· mark hamill· identity politics· zoom

14:39 I don't even know if you can have more than a thousand people on a Zoom call. Maybe they certainly don't have that on their website if you want. This is a good point, I've been wondering about this myself Well here's the basic free or with credit card as 100 participants pro is 100 participants, not what it seems like the same business 300 enterprise 500 then optional add-ons 500 and an optional 1000 so I guess you can have 1500 but maybe they can do more but what they seem to be doing

15:18 is doing streaming live and then having a number of invited people on the Zoom call as witnessed by the white dudes for Harris, which I think they missed an enormous branding opportunity here. White dudes for Harris? They should have called it crackers for Kamala but that's just me next time called the Curry DeVoreye Consulting Group Galloway, and I have some respect. I have a little bit of respect for him He catches this he says you know This is kind of weird that we're doing all this racial stuff And we're doing all identity politics But of course as long as it keeps Trump out it's good they're doing groups of zoom calls that which I think is fascinating I think it's really Fascinating really fast I'm up to minds about that. I like the

16:10 We're saying, don't be ridiculous. There's a lot of white men who you immediately create the stereotype of that want the great economy to one progressive policies and one bodily autonomy for women that wants a wonderful world for their daughters who believe in liberal politics. So I like that, but that's a chance for us to say, Don't be stupid. There's a bunch of us that are hand in hand with these ideals and are fighting for them But at the same time, it feels as if the world is becoming so much more... It's just becoming one giant identity politics exercise. You know? Just everybody identifies now based on their

16:49 They are sexual orientation, their background, their gender. And I think some of it is unhealthy. Yeah, I think some of this is fun though they're doing in a way Asian ladies, the black lady. So but I think it's kind of fun like teams and then they're all going to get together in this way. It feels like there's too much. But I think this is more enjoy than it isn't joy. Like anger? Yeah, yeah, this is tongue in cheek and funny. It's funny! Listen to who was on this white dudes for Harris call. By the way, here is... because I got the email for the sign up form. By the way she did say that racism is fun. It is! Racism is fun! It's fun for kids of all ages

17:37 Here's the email. Together we aren't going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that with MAGA everyone loses! We know that as white dudes, we have a strong and positive role to play in America's shared future And it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and reminding folks who have co-opted American symbols what America actually means. We're excited to join together with you in this fight So here's who was on, actually it was amazing. The first guy who came on was a black guy... ...who is like some activist for Kamala. They have all the white dudes on let's bring in a black guy just to make sure we're not too racist

18:25 Well, he's identifying as white for the day. For the day yes Jeff Bridges Mayor Pete Governor Roy Cooper let me see Governor Pritzker Governor Waltz Senator Gary Peters Adam Schiff Steny Hoyer Mark Hamill Scott Galloway He did go on Eric Swalwell Lance Bass of the Backstreet Boys Tim Daly, David Hogg who doesn't remember him. You might as well have just said a bunch of rich white dudes for Kamala and that and so I don't think that you could see 200 thousand or however many they claimed you couldn't see that many on the zoom call it was streamed they streamed it live so you could sit around and they could all pontificate I would say Jeff Bridges was the most disappointed even yeah Jeff bridges was disappointing

CHAPTER 07 / 52 Discussion

Scott Galloway on Jews for Harris and Israel

Scott Galloway announced his intention to organize a "Jews for Harris" initiative, arguing that the Biden-Harris administration provides the most steadfast support for Israel. Galloway cited the deployment of aircraft carriers and the diplomatic expertise of Anthony Blinken as reasons for Jewish voters to remain with the Democratic Party. He also pledged to match $50,000 in donations during the "White Dudes" call.

scott galloway· israel· anthony blinken· jews for harris· october 7

19:22 He's that he's a dude. He's like, oh I'm a dude so of course I'm for President Harris. I want Harris for president Anyway fine by the way Just as an aside since you mentioned him Buddha judge is making the strongest push to be vice-president Of all these guys yeah And I when I wrote that essay which is in Devorah sub stack calm the last essay? I wrote predicting it was gonna be Shapiro or Cooper Cooper dropped out and I kind of just glossed, I mentioned Buttigieg but I just glossed it over thinking that nobody in their right mind would pick him. But I think they may make that mistake of picking him if they pick him. Now here's the interesting thing first of all there is no question about what a man or woman is. I didn't see any drag queens on the call which was disappointing

20:20 Or I don't think there are any drag queens on the cat lady call. So all of a sudden we know exactly what a man and woman is, that seems to be clear And I'm sorry Scott Galloway but Jews are not white! I've heard this consistently That's something that angers Horowitz by the way. He really pisses him off. I'm a Jew! Well it's alright because then he can join Scott Galloway's call which is Jews for Harris. I'm getting involved in another one, Jews for Harris. A lot of Jews, including myself are so kind of rattled by October 7th and we're concerned about some of what we perceive as anti-Israel comments from the far left that it's pivoted a lot of people to the right. And a lot of Jews have become one issue voters and what I'm going to try and do...and I want to do something similar to what these guys have done. I've been inspired. I don't think...

21:17 I think if you really put on your critical thinking hat, I think the best thing we can hope for in terms of not only the end to the war but a sustainable peace would be to have the continuation of the Biden-Harris administration. I don't think they get nearly as much credit as they should for their steadfast support of Israel and immediately deploying aircraft carrier forces over there and also post when the war does come to an end... We'll make your argument. I'm making it now. And then post the end of the war, you're going to have to have a fairly complex multilateral peace force there and who is most likely to build an enduring peace? You'll probably have to back channel negotiations with Iran

21:57 Is that is that Anthony Blinken or someone who's likely to be a future? Resident of a federal or state prison somewhere which is one in three chance of any cabinet appointee and the Trump administration, okay? And by the way I know if you misunderstood me or not but but Horowitz has irked by the fact that He thinks that some Jews are considered non-white. Yes, oh Yeah, that's no I understood you perfectly Understood you perfectly. Let's just go back to Vance for a Galilee seems died in a wedding by I didn't do it I have no no he'd be what clip was confusing to me He went now because he said you and he has yeah, he's a Jew but what did they say? He says that we need Harris To be president because they'll protect Israel

22:44 What? I know. Is he nuts? Well, he's saying the reason why is because you want Anthony Blinken there That's really what he said Anthony Blinken the guy who organized a 51 phony baloney intelligence agents to say that the Hunter laptop The hunter Biden laptop was yes. Yes. I know fake kidding me. I'm really divided about or torn about Scott Galloway because you know he identifies, hey this is really identity politics. This is no good but he can't help himself because he has to suck up to Cara to keep his job I guess not that he needs it guy's got houses in London and Aspen and he's done quite well for himself

23:25 He also gave away $50,000 on the call. He's like I'm a white man, I'm Scott Galloway and iIm going to match fifty thousand dollars if Mark Hamill will say it I'm Luke Skywalker I'm here to save you which of course Mark Hamill did. The whole thing was so pathetic Now earlier they talked about this weird sex. Yes, JD Vance! Weird sex? Now they're literally taking memes from the internet and propagating them Or it's been about J D Vance and there's another thing about him... I don't know how to say this Him having sex with a sofa

CHAPTER 08 / 52 Discussion

JD Vance Couch Hoax Fact Check

The Associated Press published a formal fact check debunking a viral internet rumor claiming J.D. Vance had a romantic encounter with a couch. The joke originated on social media but gained enough traction to be addressed by major news organizations. The incident highlights a double standard where parodies of Republicans are treated as humor while parodies of Democrats are labeled dangerous misinformation.

jd vance· associated press· fact check· internet meme· misinformation

24:03 That's usually what Anthony, he usually has to do the PG puns. Romantic interactions with seat cushions of a couch... We need to point out totally unfounded it was a joke that started on the internet but it took on a life of its own and then you had people like The Associated Press doing fact checks on JD Vance did not have sex with the couch Yeah, but that's again to our point about this stuff can end up not being true but it kind of like people decide that is what they want to believe and it plays into existing ideas they have about someone. And so even though its not true, it is kind of people going well I believed it could be true therefore is it true? Even though you know totally unfounded

CHAPTER 09 / 52 Discussion

Natalism and Great Replacement Theory Claims

MSNBC's Morning Joe framed Republican support for "natalism"—policies encouraging higher birth rates—as a component of "white Christian nationalism." Pundits linked the promotion of the nuclear family to the "Great Replacement Theory," suggesting that the focus on increasing the birth rate is inherently racist. This narrative converts standard tax-break discussions into a debate over racial demographics.

natalism· msnbc· morning joe· birth rates· great replacement theory

24:42 You know, so when there's something obviously a parody about Kamala Harris—this was the BBC by the way. Then it's like whoa this is dangerous! People might believe this stuff but what if it's about a Republican? Then it's like oh well, it's funny, hilarious, so great yes we love it yeah Yeah, so of course this is all about discrediting JD Vance and obviously we have to bring his whiteness into it and probably a little religious overtones. Let's go! And in Louisiana the Daily Advertiser reports that the United States birth rate is down as fewer adults want to have kids according to a 2023 Pew Research survey 47% percent of childless adults under 50 say they aren't planning on having any children

25:26 Many younger adults say they want to focus on other things instead and raise concerns about the state of the world and the costs associated with raising a child. Some older adults say they don't have kids due to medical reasons or because they haven't found the right partner. And Molly, it is... The stats are there more and more Americans choosing not to have kids which again emphasizes why J.D. Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies- By the way so they're kind of conflating two things you know and this was 11 years ago but he said yes our country is run by childless cat ladies who are unhappy and want to make us unhappy. The other thing he did

26:04 The way I understood it, and maybe wrong is he said hey we should stimulate people having children and we should give them tax breaks for that which the M5M has now Turned around into they want to punish people who don't have children Which is not amazing an amazing good amazing way of presenting it. It's it's good I'll give them that could be so politically damaging what do I wait? What isn't the mainstream media use that same logic with this with this money giveaway for student loans you No, please. Natalism. I'm looking it up! That's like being pro-child, I guess? Natalism... that's a good one. I've never heard of it. It is the policy paradigm or personal value that promotes the reproduction of human life as an important objective of humanity and therefore... We can't have that?! But but if the term itself has a negative intonation. Natalism. Like nativism

27:24 Yeah, it's a good that's why they use it. Yes natalism nice What's interesting is this? Is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook right there are more white children Nobody said yes, but this is the point It's all about white Christian nationalism don't you understand that there need to be more white children right That's the idea that there's you know Where did this clip come from what outlet MSNBC morning Joe Oh, oh yeah. Now it's understood of course but this is another one of those messages This is the whole racism thing These guys only want more white children There need to be more white children That's the idea that there's you know this is about great replacement theory racism right? This is what this is

28:17 So, saying we should encourage people to have children which we clearly need if you want your social security be paid by anybody who's working. But that's really great replacement theory because they want white children. Okay! Replacement theory, racism right? This is what this is. So don't misunderstand it for him wanting more children he wants a certain kind of you know racist thing so I would say yeah there certainly... These people are disgusting It's fantastic This is going in the archives. In a hundred years someone will recover... MSNBC? Yes, yeah okay well let me just interrupt the clip for a minute and mention MSNBC Rachel Maddow do you know how much money she makes here eight million dollars 30 million 24 annually as reported by multiple sources I'm gonna read this

CHAPTER 10 / 52 Discussion

Rachel Maddow Salary and Comcast Revenue

Rachel Maddow reportedly earns between $24 million and $30 million annually under a contract with Comcast-owned MSNBC. Her compensation, which exceeds that of Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts in some years, is funded primarily through mandatory cable carriage fees rather than traditional advertising. This financial structure allows the network to maintain high-paid talent regardless of specific show profitability.

rachel maddow· brian l. roberts· comcast· msnbc· cable fees

29:15 She recently signed a five-year deal with Rachel worth more than $120 million. This is working one day a week or $500,000 a show We had two executive producers for this show which is 300 bucks each for us So that we're making big dough party Hey But you know what some sources suggest the annual income could be as high as 29 or 30 million As reported by the MSN or a report called Rachel Maddow and this is on the shoulders of Brian L. Roberts, the CEO of Comcast who doesn't even make that much his salary as well at least as a 2016 maybe higher now

29:54 was 28.6 million, making less than Rachel so they're paying her to just be a hateful person on the show and you notice this when she does her sketches I've got a couple of clips I'll do later but when she looks down at the end of her bit where she throws the commercial she looks down with the most guilt ridden look I've ever seen on anybody She knows that's she cheating the world Well, she knows. We're all vapor here John when it's time for us to go she is going to be looking into a fiery pit of hell and you and me we are gonna on the cloud laughing Making the same amount

30:37 Don't misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of you know racist thing so I would say yeah, there's certainly true and attacking people for not having children is really cruel right because some people can have children oh People you know want to have children And you know miss the window So I do think this is really just very terrible way to go after people. Oh, it's just a terrible way to go after people well no the terrible way to go after people is what's happening now because and it was a big mistake I think and I believe the guy who was in charge of project 2025 at The Heritage Foundation he resigned He left should have yes. He's like oh that wasn't mistake to put that paper out now I have read

CHAPTER 11 / 52 Discussion

Project 2025 and Authoritarianism Claims

Media outlets like MSNBC have characterized "Project 2025," a 900-page policy document from the Heritage Foundation, as a "manifesto" for authoritarian rule. Joy Reid and other hosts have warned that the document outlines a plan to dismantle democracy and grant Donald Trump permanent power. Trump has publicly distanced himself from the project, though critics claim it remains his true agenda.

project 2025· heritage foundation· joy reid· authoritarianism· trump

31:28 I have read the paper. All 900 pages, really? More than 938, I think. Now, I'm going to be the first to say I skimmed through some of the obvious chat GPT generated stuff because they could have done this in 90 pages but it was literally like here's 90 pages put it into chat GPT so for sure I know none of these people have read it at all Certainly not Joy Reid from MSNBC. You won't have to vote anymore my beautiful Christians, I love you Christians! I'm a Christian...I love you get out!

32:05 You gotta get out and vote. In four years you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not gonna have to vote." Do you believe if Donald Trump were elected next year that he would try to stay in office beyond a second term? He would never leave office? There's no question. You think he would try to stay in power forever? Absolutely. could not be higher. Trump said if he wins you won't have to vote anymore. Tonight we are laying out the dangers of Project 2025, a manifesto that would give him that authoritarian power limit your rights and force you and your family to change the way you live your life

32:49 And we begin this special episode of the readout tonight with a dire warning for our democracy. Over the next hour, I will lay out the greatest threat to the American democratic experiment in modern times and it's called Project 2025 So you identified this obvious at best misreading of what Trump said To a total distortion of the truth And I even heard you talk about on DH Unplugged. Because Horowitz was bought into it too! Now do you think he was really bought into it? He didn't buy into it, but he was baffled by it and once I explained to him it was fine with it...I have a clip about this too when your done But yeah, I just want to say that he kind of bought into it So we need to do an intervention on him

33:44 Well, he's fine with it. I mean this is just one thing and this again is on the shoulder of Brian Roberts because this is one of his people She's getting good money too! She's not getting that 30 million that Rachel's getting but she's getting good money to do this There's no reason these people are making this much money they're not bringing in that much Well, now I'm going to disagree with you because it's money from cable news is not from the advertisements although that's not bad. It's from the cable fees so they have wide coverage so they're bringing in big bank. They got a budget it's just being... You know the minute people stop cutting the cable that's when it hurts everybody but they get one two bucks per subscriber So they have a fixed amount they get every single month

34:34 So bringing in more money on advertising doesn't matter. Doesn't matter, and by the way Elon Musk bought Twitter what for the revenue? For the profit no! For power it's for power so that Comcast guy is it Comcast Yeah, Comcast. It's for power! That's why... HL Hunt had 600 radio stations for power! Doesn't matter if you make money or not. Jeff Bezos, Washington Post—power! John C. DeVore and Adam Curry no agenda show—power! Power!

CHAPTER 12 / 52 Discussion

Federal Workforce and Department of Life

Kelly Robinson, former Executive Director of Planned Parenthood, criticized Project 2025's proposal to reclassify and potentially fire up to one million federal workers. Robinson also highlighted a proposal to rename the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the "Department of Life." She argued that attaching federal benefits to the "ideal family unit" of heterosexuality is a form of institutionalized bigotry.

planned parenthood· kelly robinson· hhs· federal employees· project 2025

35:11 Alright, so and I'm only slightly insulted that you insinuate that did not read all of Project 2025 because I do that kind of stuff. I've read much... I know you do but it's boring! It's too long its dumb! It is boring and dumb and the way Trump is distancing himself from it is disingenuous Because there's, I mean it's very much a Trump-like agenda. There are some things...I mean obviously was written before Roe v Wade was over the Dodd amendment was overturned known as Roe V Wade So they're and he's been very clear But of course he's lying that he wants three exceptions and send it back to the states And you know so in this is just oh no It's they want a national abortion ban!

35:59 lies and disingenuous, but we bring on the former executive director of Planned Parenthood Kelly Robinson to talk about what she thinks is the worst thing. Joy Reid had a printout of all 900 pages on her desk you know, this is it. This is what's going to kill democracy! What do you find the most alarming and the most frightening thing that you want people to know about Top of Mind? You know how they are using the federal government institutionalize bigotry structurally right? The idea that he would come into office and fire nearly a million federal workers, career workers right? That's scary. No that no that's not scary! That's dynamite everybody wants that. A million federal workers career workers right? Right. Scary and then they put foot soldiers who would just carry out his will the idea that they want to turn... Wait a minute isn't that what supposed happen if isn't the executive branch supposed to do what uh... the laws of as written by congress and

37:00 the direction of the president? Isn't that the point now we call them foot soldiers. Yeah, they just don't like these foot soldiers. That's scary and then input foot soldiers that would just carry out his will. The idea that they want to turn the Health and Human Services Agency into the Department of Life and charge it with promoting heterosexuality as a quote-unquote ideal family unit and then attach federal benefits to those criteria...that's scary! And I think It's scary that you attach federal benefits. By the way, we have federal benefits We have child tax breaks and the people who would benefit the most are black Americans You racist lady

CHAPTER 13 / 52 Discussion

Robert Jones on Christian Supremacy

Robert Jones of the Public Religion Research Institute claimed that Project 2025 seeks to enforce a "1950s Norman Rockwell vision" of a white Christian America. Jones argued that the document's language regarding "living as the creator ordained" is a chilling indicator of Christian supremacy. However, the full text of the document includes broader sections on individual liberty and self-direction that Jones omitted in his analysis.

robert jones· prri· christian nationalism· norman rockwell· project 2025

37:39 Please. That's scary and I think ultimately we're not just talking about policies or impacting specific communities though that's laid out quite clearly in Project 2025 but what we're talking about is the undermining of democracy he's even saying out loud if you vote in this election for him, for Donald Trump that could be the last election you have to vote for as Dr. Maya Angelou said when someone shows you who they are believe them the first time people always leave out the first time yes Yes, yes Queen. All right so now to bring in the most scary thing... Scary! So scary is Robert Jones he's the director of the Public Religion Research Institute

38:22 He should know he should know what's going on. Obviously this is a very godly man What it was a lot to the most? There's actually two sentences out of all this 900 pages that I think were the most chilling to me to read I'm gonna read them here An individual must be free to live as his creator ordained in order to flourish our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want but what we ought and Now, who gets to define that ought? The very next sentence gives us a clue. So the other 900 pages really are about that 1950s Norman Rockwell vision of a white Christian America with white Christian men and their heterosexual marriages kind of reigning up here and everybody else knowing their place

39:17 So, if I can distill what he just said. He said what they want is white Christian men at the top telling everybody what to do But the problem is that I have 900 pages in front of me and he didn't read the next paragraph So I'll just read that last bit again. He omitted the next paragraph. Many find happiness through their work, think of dedicated teachers or health care professionals you know, entrepreneurs or plumbers throwing themselves into their business anyone who sees a job well done as a personal reward religious devotion and spirituality are the greatest sources of happiness around the world still others find themselves happiest in their local voluntary communities of friends, their neighbors, their civic or charitable work

40:15 The American Republic was founded on principles prioritizing and maximizing individuals' rights to live their best life or to enjoy what the framers called, the blessing of liberty. It's this radical equality—liberty for all—not just of rights but of authority that the rich and powerful have hated about democracy in America since 1776." They resent Americans' audacity in insisting that we don't need them to tell us how to live. It is this inalienable right of self-direction, of each person's opportunity to direct himself or herself and his or her community to the good that is what the ruling class disdains." And he just showed it to us right there! Exactly. By omitting what they actually wrote—and this jamoke didn't even get past the introduction. What a joker.

41:05 Anyway, we'll finish it up with the dangers for women. And for women what are the most alarming things? Because obviously a national ban on abortion would be part of it but there's a lot more to it I mean the Comstock Act looms pretty large you could use in more ways than just stop abortions. This is going to fundamentally reshape American life for women in this country You can see all that laid out in Project 2025 But do have to say this It clearly calls for a national ban on abortion. They intend to make that the reality also, no they don't. The ways that they're defining heterosexuality and the ideal family unit...they are actually trying to put provisions into place to control us in our decisions. I mean this trad wife kind of housewife trend that they're trying to promote? That's actually a system of power and control over women's lives so let's be clear

CHAPTER 14 / 52 Discussion

Comstock Act and Reproductive Control

Critics of Project 2025 warn that the document advocates for the invocation of the Comstock Act to implement a national ban on abortion and birth control. The narrative suggests that the "trad wife" trend is being weaponized as a system of power to control women's professional and personal lives. Proponents of the document argue it merely seeks to return authority to the states and promote traditional family values.

40:15 The American Republic was founded on principles prioritizing and maximizing individuals' rights to live their best life or to enjoy what the framers called, the blessing of liberty.

I mean this trad wife kind of housewife trend that they're trying to promote? That's actually a system of power and control over women's lives so let's be clear

41:50 everything that we enjoy today as our normal way of being, right? From being able to go to work. To raise your kids in the way that you choose. To have a partner that you decide and pick all about they're saying they want the government to control it so let's be clear this is a dangerous dangerous document that's laying out exactly what they planned to do Oh Lordy! What a lie It's total I can't... Do you mind if i just going into one more quick set here because it stays on It stays on the Trump thing? Yeah, because I do have a clip to play about that so I can do that one more time. You can come in right after that

CHAPTER 15 / 52 Discussion

Ziklag Secret Christian Organization Expose

ProPublica and Democracy Now! published an expose on "Ziklag," a network of wealthy Christians allegedly working to purge voter rolls in battleground states. The group's operations, titled "Steeplechase," "Watchtower," and "Checkmate," aim to influence seven "mountains" of public life, including government and media. While framed as a secret society, the organization maintains a public website and downloadable strategy videos.

ziklag· propublica· amy goodman· christian nationalism· voter rolls

42:34 Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound. Oh no! You didn't say that I tricked you! I tricked you Listen to what Amy Goodman did Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made headlines this week after suggesting that this year's election could be the last US election if he wins in November Can you believe that Amy Goodman did this? Amy Goodman Democracy now. I do believe she could. You do believe? US election if he wins in November Trump made the comment Friday in Florida at Turning Point Actions Believers... Christian, get out and vote! Just this time

43:21 You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed! It'll be fine!" For more on who's backing Trump's efforts we look at a secret organization of wealthy Christians who are working to— Oh no! Oh no! It's a secret organization! —purge more than 1 million voters from the rolls in battleground states and mobilize Republican voters to back Trump. It's called Ziklag The news outlets ProPublica and Documented obtained thousands of Ziklag's internal files, and found the group has divided its 2024 activities into three different operations—Steeplechase, which uses churches to get out the vote, and Watchtower, which aims to rally voters around opposition to transgender rights. This is amazing! So, ProPublica did a whole expose on Ziklag?

44:14 They have a website. You can download the stuff from the website, so the scariest part is Checkmate! Oh no! So we have Watchtower and we got Checkmate that are going to purge the voter rolls and they have this scary video about it. The third operation called Checkmate focused on funding so-called election integrity groups as laid out in this Ziklag member strategy video Voter irregularities are rampant across all 50 states, but especially pronounced in the battleground states. Public polling confirms Americans have lost confidence in electoral integrity. With the federal election already in full swing more must be done to ensure fair elections and the most important republic in the world

45:02 That's the purpose behind Operation Checkmate and its practical approaches to both get out the vote and clean electoral rolls through our coalition partners. Through these efforts, we have the opportunity to play a significant role in the upcoming election. ProPublica reports Ziklag's mission is to take dominion over seven spheres of public life which it calls mountains—business, science & technology, family arts & media church, education and government. Oh no! The secret Christians are coming to get you they're gonna take dominion over all of these mountains let's bring in the ProPublica guy to explain Ziklag. Ziklag is a secretive network of ultra wealthy Christians conservative Christians... White! It has got this big website you say could download the whole thing how secret is that?

45:55 secretive, they're sneaky. Of ultra wealthy Christians conservative Christians who have this two-part goal two part vision for this country one is to get heavily involved in the 2024 elections in the ways that you just described mobilizing pastors Oh no! knocking people off of voting rolls No! Demonising trans people Demonise them! To motivate conservative voters But then looking toward the 20 and 30 year horizon, Ziklag's goal is nothing less than moving the country toward a state of Christian nationalism. God! Having biblical worldviews quote-unquote biblical truth.

46:35 shaping, influencing every part of American culture those seven mountains that you described. So this really is as one expert we quoted in the story told us a vision for Christian supremacy. Christian supremacy! A new word! Christianity über alles yes! We will get you! We will annihilate you and then Amy asked the most important question what exactly is Ziklag? Ziklag...the name refers to a biblical reference about David taking refuge during his struggle with King Saul. The analogy here, of course is that the Christians in this group apparently feel that they are under siege and that this group is their refuge but then the place from which they planned there their campaign, their assault to take back American culture. He missed a great opportunity

47:24 because the story of Ziklag is that David and his small band of troops cut off the hem of their garments and made it look like there were many, many more of these secret Christians. And that was the trick! I forgot to put that in... These people are nuts and i'm so disappointed in Amy Goodman. I have no love for Amy Goodman but to introduce this secretive group with a website with videos you can download, as part of Trump's master plan to never have Christians or never have anyone vote again is just insane. Unfortunately people like Horowitz although just initially without some guidance from his mentor

CHAPTER 16 / 52 Discussion

Trump Never Vote Again Comment Controversy

Rachel Maddow and other media figures have interpreted Donald Trump's comments to a Christian audience—telling them they "won't have to vote anymore" in four years—as a threat to end democracy. Trump's supporters argue the comment was a hyperbolic reference to "fixing" the country's problems so thoroughly that the urgency for low-propensity Christian voters would diminish. The media framing suggests Trump intends to abolish future elections.

donald trump· rachel maddow· voting· christian voters· turning point action

48:15 Fall for it. Here's my last version of the same thing, this is the never vote again, this is again the insincere guilt-ridden Rachel Maddow doing the bidding of Brian Roberts, CEO of Comcast and here's her version of that same That same Trump we're never going to vote again bit. Donald Trump told an audience on Friday night that if they vote for him this November, if he's voted back into office this November they will never have to vote again He told an audience on Friday to, quote, get out and vote just this time. He said after this time, quote you won't have to do it anymore You won't have to vote anymore. He said in four years you don't have to vote again We'll have it fixed so good And your not going to have to vote

49:07 Now, this is not the first time Trump has told a campaign audience that they will never have to vote again once they vote him back in this time. And that is as alarming as it sounds for all the reasons you immediately think it is, right? I mean he's positing like this is a happy thing—oh joy! Never having the burden of voting again. The point of democracy is we vote all the time. And we like it. That's how we decide what happens in our country He's promising his followers that he'll end all of that and it just, it's exactly what you think it is Could you please just... Right at the end there, he's promising his followers he'll end all that When does he ever say that to anybody? That he's going to end it? He doesn't say that What he says is you don't have to worry about it anymore because because he knows that the Christian

49:57 Evangelicals don't like voting or they don't seem to get out much and they don't have to go back again. He never says he's going to end anything that is a blatant lie by her and misinterpretation of what actually happened, and she does it on purpose there's no... She's doing it on purpose she has not like sincere well you know I didn't understand I'm just sincere though No! She's not sincere she is a liar It's deplorable, it's disgusting how blatant it is. I think it's funny! I mean still...I go back to that collar not all of the American public is stupid

CHAPTER 17 / 52 Discussion

Fred Trump III Racism Allegations

Fred Trump III appeared on CNN with Erin Burnett to promote his book "All In The Family," in which he accuses his uncle, Donald Trump, of being a racist. Fred recounted an anecdote from the 1970s involving a vandalized car and the use of racial slurs. He also cited Trump's stance on the Central Park Five as evidence of a lifelong pattern of racial bias, though the Trump campaign has dismissed the stories as fabricated.

fred trump iii· erin burnett· cnn· central park five· all in the family

50:42 Most of the American public is stupid it turns out. Well, we'll see and we're gonna end up with President Harris I am going when you're done. I want to play a clip about Harris that I think needs to be played One more one more Trump bash Another trump bash bash yeah this is Aaron Burnett back on the scene who's on the Ozempic, back to her fighting weight of the old CNBC days. Oh she's looking for work! She's prime time CNN, she's fine. She's in the Maddow League no doubt No she's not 30 million away... She's probably not doing too bad Anyway who shows up with some racist stuff? Because who else- Who better would know that

51:34 Former President Donald Trump is racist? Then his nephew Fred! The breaking news, Donald Trump's nephew going all in for Kamala Harris. Fred Trump telling us he'll join Harris and her team on a call this week and that he's ready to campaign for her saying that she is the only person who can move the country forward. Fred Trump is publicly... What?! She's the only person who can move the country forward. Let's bring Mary Trump on next! This guy is great. Saying that she is the only person who can move the country forward Fred Trump is publicly, for the first time breaking ranks with his family writing about his relationship with Donald Trump in his new book All In The Family and Fred Trump is out front with me now Oh he has got a book Okay He has got a book The old book scam Alright so he's going to explain how he knows

52:22 Donald J. Trump is a racist! So I want to talk to you about something that you write in the book, there's this moment when your young someone vandalizes Donald Trumps car okay so that's the setup and then about this moment Fred you say N words This is you, I recall him saying disgustedly look what the n-words did and then you add quote Donald hadn't seen whoever did it That's right It's two fold its one he didn't see who did He makes an assumption about who it is, what color they are and then refers to them as the N-word. His campaign says this is a fabricated story I just want to give you a chance to respond And tell me how this story has lived in your life It's the absolute truth and I remembered as if it were yesterday he had a black roof, he had a roll of electrical tape taping up probably the slashes about this long two of them

53:17 And he was pissed. Again, he just assumed it was black people who had done that. And he called him the N-word! Okay well... He remembers as if it were yesterday but he's a good guy this Fred Trump because he can connect all kinds of things in Trump's racist life around the same time I'm looking at this report on this. This was in the 1970's? Yes, he remembers it as if it was yesterday! I can't remember anything from the 1970's... Okay. Alrighty then. And I have a good memory believe me Around the same time I had a bike stolen uh..I lived in Jamaica Queens and three young black kids about my age took my bike. I wasn't gonna put up a fight

54:13 And the police called my mom and said, we found the bike and the person one of the people who had done it. She called Donald because my father unfortunately was not around We went to the police station and Donald was adamant about the kid being thrown in jail which I just couldn't take He was a kid my age I didn't want to be responsible for perhaps... You were between? I was 10, I didn't want to be responsible for this kid's life being changed. Flash forward 17 years or so... Central Park Five, same thing. He has no evidence that those five young men were guilty of what they were charged with yet he puts out a full page ad asking for their execution. So would you use the word racist to describe him? I think he just believes in things that racist people say. What is that?! He's not a racist! He just believes in certain things that racists people say and they're pulling out all the stops on this one

55:15 So in 1970, Fred Trump III was eight. Yes And he remembers this clearly as though it was yesterday? At the age of 8! Yes, yes, it's fantastic It is great He's the brother of Mary, of course. Yeah, of course! Let me just stick with Erin because she had one more guest on Do you have any of the National Association of Black Journalists clips? I do have one Play what you got Alice, I gotta find it, I don't know where it is

CHAPTER 18 / 52 Discussion

Trump at National Association of Black Journalists

Donald Trump participated in a contentious Q&A session at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago on July 31, 2024. During the event, Trump questioned Kamala Harris's racial identity, suggesting she "turned black" for political advantage after previously emphasizing her Indian heritage. NPR and other outlets characterized the remarks as inflammatory, while Trump defended his record on HBCUs and Opportunity Zones.

nabj· kamala harris· racial identity· npr· chicago

56:05 This is a... Oh, here it is. I got it Is it a backgrounder? It's an NPR... Oh good! I don't have NPR. It's actually a short clip. It's an NPR clip where they can't keep themselves from editorializing in the news analysis It's just like, you can play this if you want to. I don't know if it is a good background or not but it does kind of have a background. This is re-ump at NABJ. Former President Donald Trump made some inflammatory comments about Vice President Kamala Harris' racial background today in the Q&A at the Black Journalist Conference. The GOP nominee questioned Harris' black identity

56:50 More from NPR's Stephen Fowler. At the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, Trump said many negative things about many people but the room gasped when Trump implied Harris changed how she identifies herself in racial terms for political advantage I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? Harris is both her father's Black and her mother South Asian Trump has a history of calling out his political rivals including President Obama and more recently former Governor Nikki Haley in questioning whether they are quote American Steven Haller NPR News

57:30 What? Yeah, okay. Questioning whether they're American where does he throw that in no one's ever questioned whether they were American what is what is that bit at the end there of the NPR should be ashamed of itself for letting that piece go through you never said anything about them being American So I actually, now there was in...I saw this whole thing because it happened to be in the studio and like oh let me just watch this as if it was coming in live. Yeah I watched too, it's pretty funny. Couple of backgrounders. That woman from ABC was just mean! Oh but then he had Harris on the other side she seems actually like him

CHAPTER 19 / 52 Discussion

Kamala Harris Indian Heritage and Code Switching

A 2020 CNN profile of Kamala Harris focused heavily on her Indian roots and the influence of her mother, Shyamala Gopalan. Critics point to this and other early career coverage to argue that Harris has shifted her public identity to emphasize her Black heritage more prominently as Vice President. The discussion notes that Harris was raised primarily by her Indian mother in Canada, leading to accusations of "code-switching" for political gain.

kamala harris· shyamala gopalan· cnn· ados· racial identity

58:07 And, you know the she was the journalist all the way on the right hand side of this. Yeah she's The Fox Girl Oh she's Fox? Okay I thought she was ABC No no ABC is the one in the blue at the opening Now just in general I will say that and now this is The National Association Of Black Journalists There was...I don't know about audible gas but there was more clapping than I expected for many things he said In fact people that had attended it felt that way too. And you have to understand, and I understand it because of my work with Moe, that the black community as is known of so-called black people understands exactly what Trump is saying and they know this because they went through this with Obama but they knew Obama wasn't African American Black ADOS, American Descendant of Slavery no

59:01 But they let him slide because of Michelle, who is black amongst other things. And... He slips it in! Another pun. There it is he slips it in another pun And so the real disappointment came. It's like, oh well the first term you know but he's got Michelle so it'll work now and then instead of getting anything for black America they got transgender bathrooms and you can go listen to Mo Facts with Adam Curry is all in there So when Trump goes to a room full of black journalists and says she's not black! And she used to say that she was black In fact here is a 2020... Yes?

59:45 I was gonna mention, oh you're gonna have this in 2020. The 2020 CNN profile. CNN did a whole 5-10 minute bit on her being Indian My mother who raised me and my sister was a proud woman she was a brown woman She was a woman with a heavy accent. And her mother, Shamla Gopalan was also the biggest influence in Kamala Harris's life In 1958, a precocious 19-year old Indian, Gopalan traveled thousands of miles from home and family to pursue a doctorate

1:00:22 nutrition and endocrinology in America. She soon became an active civil rights crusader while studying at UC Berkeley In her book, Harris says there is no title or honor on earth I'll treasure more than to say I am Shyamala Gopalan Harris's daughter Harris's visits to India with her mother kept her connected to her roots. Her grandfather, who had strong views on humanitarian issues worked closely with officials to reallocate refugees. Harris' maternal uncle Gopalan Balachandran who lives in Delhi tells us how the senator turns to her Amma which means mother in Tamil for guidance even after her death

1:01:03 I don't have to tell her make your mother proud. She said what are you telling me? Everything that i do, I ask myself would Amma approve of this? Kamla in Hindi means lotus flower and is an important symbol in Indian culture rooted deep in the bottom of the river very similar to Harris's indian identity which she wears on her sleeve So a couple things about that that I liked. One is her grandfather talks about Ama, but these days Kamala Harris talks about auntie you know which is uh you know that's what you say if you're a black American oh aunty aunt no but it's ama that's what she used to say and also um you know what's been going around is kamala means garbage gobbling you know look at put it in google translate but in hindi it means blossoming flower lotus flower

Rachel Scott Hostile Opening at NABJ

ABC News reporter Rachel Scott opened the NABJ interview with a list of Donald Trump's past controversial statements regarding race and journalists. Trump responded by calling the opening "nasty" and "disgraceful," criticizing the organization for a 35-minute delay caused by technical equipment failure. He asserted that he has been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.

1:01:54 I guess. I guess they didn't have Google Translate. Yeah, it does yeah...I looked up the originals of the word. You know it does and it means horrible in Finnish and it means horrible in Greek So by the way as an aside this whole racist no forget about that so what I'd like to do because I have multiple versions of Trump at The National Association Of Black Journalists Perhaps it's better instead of playing snippets, I would just like to play the full first question so-called question and his answer. So people can really... if not on a podcast where else? So people can get the actual context of what happened knowing that he was on time they had an hour yet a set scheduled to leave

1:02:44 Apparently, they couldn't get their equipment to work so they started 30 minutes late or 35 minutes late. Which is rude and it's also lame especially for the National Association of Black Journalists you think that have it all together I think it's worth it just to listen to how he was greeted He walks in sits down And everything else you hear on the M5M is all caught up. It's, you know it's just not honest and this is the honest audio of what happened. Mr President we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room sir A lot of people did not think that was appropriate for you to be here today

1:03:31 You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying that they were not born in the United States which is not true. You have told four Congresswoman women of color who are American citizens to go back where they came from you've used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You attacked black journalists calling them a loser saying questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So my question, sir... Now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you Why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that? I mean to be honest That's a pretty aggressive opening and What i find

1:04:20 insulting to my intelligence is he says that stuff to all journalists and people but she just says well you said to black people oh she's highlighting the black people this is so this is racist it's just these people are racist the whole thing is unnecessary we don't America is not racist like this I will have to mention something I'm pretty sure it's not in the section your playing later he says, he's talking about immigration being a big threat and it is taking away black jobs.

1:04:56 And she says, and she does this pulls the stuff. What's a black job? Because this is the thing he says black jobs that everybody's it's just the job that blacks have its like white jobs, white jobs, black jobs doesn't make any difference they've taken away jobs is just so happens are taking away jobs from blacks are taking away from whites to take away from Mexicans or taking away from everybody there Mexican Americans. It's just another one of these misinterpretations of his simplistic way of presenting it, some of these facts. Okay. All right so here is his answer Well, first of all I don't think i've ever been asked a question so in such a horrible manner. First question you don't even say hello how are you? Are you with ABC because I think they're a fake news network and terrible network. I mean they're laughing there he's already got the crowd laughing

1:05:53 I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. Opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs I've done so much and you know when I say this Historically black colleges and universities were out of money They were stone-cold broke And I saved them and I gave them long term financing and nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very rude

1:06:36 introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do something like that and let me go a step further, i was invited here and i was told my opponent whether it was Biden or Kamala uh...I was told my opponent is going to be here It turned out my opponent isn't here You invited me under false pretense And then you said you can't do it with Zoom Where's Zoom? She is going to do it with Zoom and she is not coming. And then you were half an hour late, just so we understand I have too much respect for you to be late they couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong. I think its a very nasty question. I have answered the question. I have been the best president for the black

1:07:18 population since Abraham Lincoln. That's my answer. Better than President Johnson who signed the Voting Rights Act? For you to start off a question and answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner I think it's a disgrace. Let me just ask a follow-up sir and then we'll move on to other questions here. The whole thing was interesting... He just says, I'm just going to tell you the way it is. And anyone who watches that with... Well no, we have a great portion of the population who's all in on racism. Good! We get the government we deserve. Beautiful. Bunch of racism. Racist, racist, racist. They're all racists! It's nuts and if you listen- When she went on ABC News Nightly News to present, I don't have the clip but when she presented

Aisha Mills on Trump Disrespect

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills told CNN's Erin Burnett that Donald Trump's performance at the NABJ convention demonstrated his "disdain" for Black women in the media. Mills argued that Trump's frustration during the questioning was a result of being asked to account for his facts and judgment. She claimed his behavior was consistent with his past treatment of journalists like April Ryan.

aisha mills· erin burnett· cnn· media disdain· black women

1:08:14 to David Muir. She was just, had that same grimace on her face and she was really... she just hates Trump! It was just so obvious. It was unbelievable. So Erin Burnett had her on as well, because of course you're a journalist and have to be part of the story now! Isn't there some rule against that? Yeah, you're not supposed to do that. Well she's doing it, she's going in the rounds but I didn't clip her...I clipped a Democratic strategist who is I guess part part of the movers and the shakers in the Democrat party, Aisha Mills. And she summed it up... And Aisha Mills is with me now. All right, Aisha so you know you heard Kadia I mean he was supposed to come for an hour but you know we sat for 35 minutes? I just can't emphasize enough that he chose- What?! Don't you just love that! What!? Yeah oh yeah He was supposed to be different Right off the bat they lie

1:09:04 So Aaron Burnett lied right there on the spot. Yep, yep, yep, that's what you do! That's why we're here. And Aisha Mills is with me now. Alright Aisha so you know you heard Kadia and he was supposed to come for an hour but you know he sat for 35 minutes I just can't emphasize enough that he chose to be there He wanted to be there and it took his time to go there right all of those things are true What do you think is the outcome of this? Everywhere he goes, there he is. Okay? Wow now John we have to remember this one... Everywhere he goes There He Is! So what do you think about that? She may be the lady writing Kamala's scripts Oh my God! Everywhere he goes there he is! This is just the outcome of this

1:09:50 Everywhere he goes, there he is. Okay? Donald Trump is going to Donald Trump everywhere He goes he's going to be Donald Trump. He has always been just disrespectful and had such disdain for the media first of all for black people in general and certainly For black women who are members of the media you can just roll the tapes back and see how he's treated Everybody pretty much was black in his press room, but specifically someone who was a friend of CNN April Ryan. The nasty things that he has come out and said about her so I wasn't surprised at all that Donald Trump sat there and was so frustrated and just evil to the people who were questioning him and expecting him to answer and account for himself because that is something that he doesn't do well. He has such vitriol and horrible

CBS News Fact Check on Harris Heritage

Nora O'Donnell of CBS News issued a fact check regarding Kamala Harris's heritage, noting she is the daughter of both Indian and Jamaican immigrants. The report highlighted that Harris attended Howard University and is a member of a Black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha. The segment also noted that Harris's father, Donald J. Harris, has previously rebuked her for using Jamaican stereotypes in jokes about marijuana.

nora o'donnell· nicole killian· cbs news· jamaica· kamala harris

1:10:43 coiling at anyone who ever questions his judgment, who asks him to explain himself. Who asked him to back up with facts, his positions, his attitudes, his beliefs and certainly when it's coming from black women he doesn't have any patience or tolerance for it and that's what we saw on display. So here I'm going to do these last two this is a Norah O'Donnell this is CBS This is about him questioning Kamala Harris' code switch which she did Everyone sees it. Her code switch into a black woman You just heard it former President Trump says Vice President Kamala Harris happened to turn black a few years ago Questioning her racial identity as he takes questions from the National Association of Black Journalists Good evening I'm Nora O'Donnell and thank you for being with us

1:11:28 We start tonight with a fact check. The vice president's heritage is both Indian and Jamaican, but that didn't stop the Republican presidential nominee from accusing her of downplaying parts of her identity during the combative interview in front of a jeering crowd. Remember Donald Trump rose to political prominence in part by falsely claiming that former President Barack Obama was not born in America CBS' Nicole Killian was in the room in Chicago So of course we We all know that the only time you're black is when you vote for a Democrat, because Joe Biden said it. He said it to Charlamagne than God but here's the full report. There was no applause as former President Trump walked out on stage instead it was a mix of boos and some outburst

1:12:18 One question in, the former president quickly panned one of the moderators who asked about some of his past comments. Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? Such a racist question! Denigrating people of color and black journalists. I think it's disgraceful... Did they even say that in the interview? I don't remember that, but it's just chopping it up. Yeah well that's what you do! Trump was then asked about presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she's a black woman? Well, I can say no, I think it may be a little bit different She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black

1:13:15 Until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black So I don't know is she Indian or is she black? She was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden, she made her turn And she went-she became a black person. Just to be clear sir do you believe that I think somebody should look into that too when you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty town. Trump's remarks sparked backlash from Harris who is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants went to an historically black college and as a member of a black sorority her campaign called it the same hostility he has shown throughout his life The White House called it insulting What he just said what you just read out to me is repulsive

1:13:58 By the way, even though I went to college for three months. I actually pledged with the Kappas! I carried a brick around...I guess I can say i'm black now? You might as well. Now couple of things one where is Kamala Harris's dad? Oh he's in Jamaica we got to keep him out of the picture because you know the slave ownership and all that his family has so we gotta keep that quiet He also rebuked her Yes he has in a book Well, he's rebuked. Yes and he rebuked her more recently when she made some joke about smoking dope Yeah And then claimed it had to do with their Jamaican heritage He thought that was an insult a stereotype yes I went on and on about it He has not seen her talk to her the family broke up when she was three so she was raised by Indian

Mark Kelly and VP Shortlist

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly emerged as a frontrunner for Kamala Harris's vice-presidential pick, alongside Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper withdrew his name from consideration in late July 2024. Kelly appeared on MSNBC to criticize Donald Trump's NABJ performance, calling him a "desperate and scared old man" who is afraid to debate Harris.

mark kelly· josh shapiro· roy cooper· vice president· pennsylvania

1:14:49 single mom raised in Canada. This is a hoax! This entire presidential campaign by Kamala Harris's is basically a hoax on the American public well remember they're sucking it up because the media has switched from oh she's no good to ah, she's the best ever and of course this offers opportunities for potential vice-presidential candidates step up to the plate Well, here's Mark Kelly. Joining me now is the Democratic senator from Arizona and potential vice presidential pick for Vice President Harris, Mark Kelly. It's great to have you here as Senator I know you have had a very busy day but i just want to know your reaction when you heard what Donald Trump said on stage in Chicago today questioning Vice President Harris' heritage

1:15:40 Well, Caitlin my first reaction was you know this is the reaction of a desperate and scared old man. It's very obvious to me watching him and just what I've seen over the last week while she's been across the country just kicking his butt that he's afraid. He is probably afraid to debate her, he is certainly afraid to lose an election in November and he is afraid about his own future so I'm not surprised to see it And uh... yeah understand you know what he's up against some of these up against inexperienced prosecutor somebody who served as the DA and Attorney General on the Senate now the Vice President very successfully

1:16:25 Kamala Harris's record up to Donald Trump and there is no comparison. And the contrast can't be more significant. Now I think if you're, now she is going to do a speech in Pennsylvania on Tuesday supposedly she'll have her vice presidential pick there on stage I think Mark Kelly is still in the running, although I still like Mo's idea of Wes Moore to make it an all-black ticket just to go all in on the racism. I'm going to play a short clip. I'm pretty sure it's neither going to be Shapiro or Whitmer And the reason I say that is because they were both on the campaign trail together.

1:17:23 between Pennsylvania and Michigan back in 2016. New polling from Fox News shows Trump and Harris essentially tied among registered voters in Pennsylvania, the voting process to officially name Harris the nominee is expected to start this week as electronic ballots will be sent to delegates. Harris's search for vice president is ongoing. The list of potential candidates getting more narrow with Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly said to be among the front runners. We now know North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has opted not to be a candidate for Harris' running mate Shapiro has vowed to do whatever he can to help get Harris elected. Kamala Harris knows real freedom means worshipping where you want, living how you want and experiencing the bountiful of freedom all across this nation in rural urban and suburban communities that is real freedom and that is what we are fighting for! I don't think he's gonna be it well if he's

Judge Joe Brown on Kamala Harris

TV personality and former prosecutor Judge Joe Brown criticized Kamala Harris's professional competence during an appearance on the "Art of Dialogue" podcast. Brown alleged that Harris relied on personal relationships rather than legal talent to advance her career in California. His comments, which included derogatory language, have been widely circulated and criticized in entertainment media like Vibe magazine.

judge joe brown· art of dialogue· california· competence· podcast

1:18:18 Should be the front-runner. I have some different thoughts on this, but before we continue i'd like to play the judge Joe Brown clip To get another perspective after who is judge Joe Brown brown is a Famous he used to be a prosecutor used to be in LA He is a uh? He's a TV judge But he's always it was an actual judge and And he's a personality. He is an old guy, he is like 77 and he has been saying... he has been blasted for this particular... This and some other things that he has been saying. He has been going around podcasts because he really does not like Kamala Harris and his run into her. A lot of people don't like her I mean even interns are coming out doing interviews saying that oh we couldn't look at when she came in the morning and we had to say good morning general

1:19:16 Wow, that actually doesn't surprise me. I have some thoughts on the vice presidency but let's play and this is a not safe for work clip i think maybe you should cover your childrens ears at least from the beginning and lets listen to...this was the podcast? Well I can tell which one it was. Of course its on a podcast! That where all of good stuff is! Thats were the meat and potatoes are baby This was on, I had it here opened. It was the Art of Dialogue podcast and...

1:19:53 You got blasted in Vibe magazine for this and this is only part of what he said I'd like to get the whole podcast and get some more clips from it, but here we go But I gotta ask you about Kamala Harris. How do you feel about her? She's a piece of shit. I was in California she lacked Professional competence and she worked on it by hiking up or him line when she needed influence rather than researching She's always tried To do the casting couch to get where she wants. Now, the problem is that will get somebody to a certain level quickly but you can't get past that level if you don't have competence and talent So my thing about it is... If I'm crude about it In this city years ago I used to represent a whole bunch of pimps and hoes And I know a hole when I see one

1:20:45 And I say this, I don't care when you do what you want to do if you want to have recreational sex but when you do the casting couch or anything else for professional purposes to get paid or advanced, you a hoe. And she's old, hoe. And the problem is what is she supposed to do? Somebody... one of her syncophant slaves comes up and unwraps her in a carpet naked at Putin's feet and says oh yeah I'm Julius Caesar He said no hoe! I got better stuff here already plus I don't want you anyway You ol' woman Get on up

Trump Campaign Pivot and 25 Ways Ad

Donald Trump admitted at the NABJ convention that his campaign was originally geared entirely toward defeating Joe Biden and must now pivot to face Kamala Harris. A new political advertisement lists "25 ways the US is being destroyed," focusing on open borders, crime, fentanyl, and the "weaponization of justice." The ad uses high-intensity imagery and music to frame the current administration's tenure as a period of moral and societal decay.

1:21:23 Or Xi Jinping, is he supposed to be impressed? She's doing words out of well we're here today. Yeah we need to have that whole podcast yeah there's a lot of people who feel that way about Vice President Harris few more things just before we take a break something you know Trump did say in that National Association black journalist he said Our whole campaign was geared towards Biden. So now we have to switch." I'm surprised by that, I'm surprised by him saying it, iIm surprised that they didn't see that coming and it seems like they were taken a little bit of back, that they had to pivot and they had a whole strategy lined up against poor old Joe

1:22:13 you know, to hammer him down. Did you hear that part where he said that? Oh yeah I heard that and it did... And i guess he was sincere uh... I take him at his word. Yeah so now they are doing what they can and this is a uh...I guess it's either super PAC or someone did a um...a hit piece ad on Kamala. I don't think it's good. I don't know if it airs on television because it's more than a minute But here it is. And it's well done, but I don't know if it's gonna come to the level of the race card...

1:22:52 A warning to America. 25 ways the US is being destroyed in under two minutes. One, open borders and illegal immigration. Two, rampant crime in unsafe cities. Three, mass addiction and fentanyl. Four, election insecurity and interference. Five, the educational indoctrination of children. Six, the asymmetrical weaponization of justice 7.

Megan Thee Stallion at Harris Atlanta Rally

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion performed at a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, sparking debate over the use of "ratchet" culture in political campaigning. Local observers and TikTokers alleged that Fulton County officials used buses to bring in homeless individuals to ensure the auditorium appeared full. The event was branded with the slogan "Hotties for Harris" to appeal to younger voters.

megan thee stallion· atlanta· fulton county· hotties for harris· political rally

1:24:24 And they had good images to go with it. They had good images to go with it, so I think everyone... I don't know that kind of thing doesn't work No, It's a vibe thing is trying to get you know the scary music and everything So Vice President Harris did a rally in Atlanta at the college there and she had the auditorium full. I saw this, this was... Yeah, yeah! I would say most of the people there came because Megan Thee Stallion not just showed up but she performed. Megan Thee Stallion is big news.

1:25:07 I caught a TikToker, uh... A TikToker who had something to say about this. Which is uhh..I'll call her boots on the ground! Okay just in case you did not know it on yesterday Kamala Harris had a rally in Atlanta and then It gave you like ooh Atlanta's hyped for her Like people are so excited for her I know you felt that She even brought out Ratched, Megan Thee Stallion shaking her butt twerking for a political rally talking about hotties for Harris. That did not turn your stomach like that is pandering like if you've ever heard it but but that's not the catch them do not let their rally looking fool fool you because Fulton County has been doing this four years

1:25:57 Before the rallies, they get busloads and they go pick up the homeless people. They offer them food drink and a little change to come to the rally so the rallies will look full now you gotta realize she just dealt with the rally and I want to say it was Pennsylvania where it was less than 60 people It was quite embarrassing for her And so that's not gonna go down in this blackity-black city Okay? It's just not going to go down They are absolutely going to make sure that thing looks packed out I believe that. Yeah, and she says that the whole clip is long and she says oh that's what they always do in Atlanta they always round up the homeless people just like Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are now moving illegals out of downtown Chicago to the south side

Tulsi Gabbard 2020 Debate Clip Resurgence

A 2020 Democratic primary debate clip featuring Tulsi Gabbard criticizing Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor has resurfaced online. In the clip, Gabbard accuses Harris of jailing over 1,500 people for marijuana violations and blocking evidence that could have freed an innocent man from death row. Critics of Harris are using the footage to challenge her current "progressive" branding.

1:26:42 So you won't see it during the convention that makes no we did that in San Francisco when she came yes Yes, so she came to them. So someone yeah, but we still have the Biden issue We have daddy long legs walking around well before you can go into that since you brought up this ad with the 25 things I Believe that the best ad you can play is to slam Kamala or Kamala, whatever. However you pronounce it. You racist! You're gonna have to look this up. You got to put the engine in because it's not on this clip list but it's the Tulsi 2020

1:27:22 debate RE Harris clip. I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this country today. Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president but i'm deeply concerned about this record there are too many examples to cite but, She put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way. Thank you Congresswoman.

1:28:18 Yeah, yeah. Well we'll see the debate should be interesting. You'll never hear that. Republicans are no more competent than Democrats. No they're not! I mean and what's happening here is it's obvious we just have to make it look like she's viable so then when they cheat then if they can cheat better than the Republicans are going to cheat. I'm sorry, the Christian nationalists with their Ziklog... Their cheating ways! ...their secret Ziklog group. Early sinners go to church. Well let me finish my Bible thing. Before that, I also want to get into my little comment about the vice president pick before it happens. Yes, yes it's important because it leads into this

Speculation on Harris Campaign Sabotage

Speculation has arisen regarding whether Kamala Harris might unintentionally or intentionally sabotage her own campaign due to the high workload of a presidential run. Some observers suggest that picking a controversial running mate like Pete Buttigieg could be a sign of a "sabotage pick." This theory posits that Harris may not actually desire the presidency given the intense scrutiny and effort required.

kamala harris· pete buttigieg· campaign strategy· laziness· vice president

1:29:02 It's possible because I you did more you read about this judge Joe Brown and his experiences and what he thinks of Camila and other people that have heard. He may get elevated the other people have heard about Kamala being basically lazy That's why she'd pull up her skirt Oh racist racists She's basically lazy as just as a because she was if you look at Kamala when she was in college or earlier, she was beautiful when she's 60 now, but when she was 20 different look. And there is a tendency for pretty girls to not you know just coast

1:29:46 And it's possible that this is already too much work for her. Going and giving these speeches... Interesting take, I like it! She's got- This is getting too hard. She can't use her looks anymore because she had a facelift we noticed that a couple years ago she tried to make herself look so she's not 60 looking but she's 60 She might sabotage her own campaign and that would be putting in the black guy that That Mo thinks could be this election. Well, that wouldn't be a sabotage pick should be sabotaging yourself or putting in Pete Buttigieg Which would be sabotaging herself? Hmm she might Sabotage the campaign herself because you really doesn't want this job Well, that's I like that's very interesting

CHAPTER 29 / 52 Discussion

Joe Biden Health and Dave Movie Theory

The physical appearance and height of Joe Biden in recent public outings have led to "Daddy Longlegs" theories suggesting the use of a body double. A comparison is drawn to the 1993 film "Dave," where a lookalike replaces a president who has suffered a stroke. The theory suggests that "evil forces" in the White House may be hiding Biden's true health status until the Democratic National Convention.

joe biden· crowdstrike· dave movie· kevin kline· body double

1:30:35 And it kind of flows into what do we do with Joe? Daddy-long legs walking around is undeniable. There is a guy who from time to time, he's posing as Joe Biden He is noticeably taller We don't know why It's so obvious that either its meant to come out Or as we, you know they were in a real bind and the normal guys on vacation. They couldn't get him back in time The CrowdStrike flights made a problem he missed his flight miss his connection Yeah He couldn't come in. Crowdstrikes is the problem. Crowdstrike yeah Some of even said hey maybe it's Obama with the mask like no I don't think so It was funny But Daddy Longlegs walking around what are we gonna do with Joe now

1:31:23 If Kamala is going to sabotage, let's say maybe someone wants to help her and sabotage. The worst thing that could happen would be that President Biden would die or have a stroke because then it would have to happen pretty quick I'm sure President Biden is gonna show up at the convention It could happen there because then she would have to assume the office of the president. That would probably limit some of her campaigning capabilities, but no matter what she will be blamed for everything. Particularly the ramp up in the Middle East right now which I don't think is a coincidence that Netanyahu was just with Trump and Trump's like yeah you know why don't you ramp it up a bit so i can look like a hero for the October surprise when I negotiate a peace deal?

1:32:16 shooting from the hip here. But someone recommended Tina and I watch a movie from 1993, I have a short clip of the trailer and i will explain how this could possibly play out as An example of life imitating art. Hail to the chief, he's the one we all say hail to... Dave Kovic was an ordinary guy. Mr. Kohler your government needs your help. I am. Who just happened to look like the president You're a very handsome man Thank you, Mr. President Just get rid of the grin You look like a schmuck Dave Something has happened to the president What about the vice-president? The vice-president is mentally unbalanced Is this legal? Oh yeah Probably Listen, sir Yes Suddenly Dave has a great job I can't tell you the whole story It's kind of national emergency kind of thing but... But you gotta help me cut the b- So that's the movie DAVE

1:33:12 starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. And even though it's not at all the same scenario, what happens... The plot of this is that the actual president has a stroke and he's a vegetable that is not going to recover. Evil forces who are actually running things within the White House kind like the chief-of-staff guy He doesn't want to concede or cede his power within the whole system and in the world. So they bring in Kevin Kline, who is a lookalike and he then plays the president. He goes on to do good things but The trick they play Is once the President is... Dave at this case But the original president is accused of campaign finance corruption And all kinds of shenanigans going on. He does a State of the Union

1:34:05 and he then fakes a stroke, they throw him in the ambulance. They do a switcheroo and then they take out the almost dead president and then he dies four months later This could be an awesome opportunity to bring out daddy long legs fake a stroke and then bring out the body and then make Kamala President Because they got to get rid of Joe somehow. They have to deal with the fact that he's incapacitated or dead, or whatever." Well I want to see what happens on the first day of the convention which is coming up pretty soon because that's when he's supposed to give his speech. First day? Yep first day! Well wouldn't it be nuts if that happened

Unlike legacy apps like Apple Podcasts that poll RSS feeds every few hours, Podping uses a blockchain-based notification system to alert apps within 90 seconds. This open-source protocol is available for all platforms to adopt to save server resources and improve user experience.

1:34:50 Yeah, it would. It would be nuts! Hey after COVID I'll believe anything and everything can happen in this world and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the C in Krakus for Kamala say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John C Devorah Good morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, good morning the ships of the sea and the boots on the ground, if in here or subs in the water, the dames and the knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room! Hello there trolls! Oh no that's not bad we're a buck 36 in and we've got 2038 trolls on The Troll Room that's only...that's almost equal to the last Thursday show that we did so we're on par good

1:35:38 Good to have you trolls here. They're checking us out at trollroom.io where you can log in, listen to the live stream this is a 24 hours...24-7 operation there's tons of live shows going on if not it's a repeat of other podcasts all part of Noah Jen The Nation this the Troll Room has been around for 15 years thank you Void Zero now Of course, you may be listening on a modern podcast app. We recommend that you do that for number of reasons. One, you are protecting the freedom of speech of all podcasters because if you use a legacy app, you just might find that your favorite podcasts has been de-platformed from Apple or from Spotify. They do about three a day!

1:36:18 So, you know eventually it's going to be one that you listen too. And for other reasons these modern podcast apps notify when we go live and get the bat signal You can't listen to a live show in Apple Podcasts. You can't do a live show on Spotify What? No! You can't. This is a podcasting 2.0 feature and by the way I've been doing Live2Tape with a live studio audience for as long as i can remember We've always done a live whenever we started the stream. That was probably about 15 years ago I just find it hard to believe that you don't can't listen to a live podcast on Apple How hard can it be because they're Apple? They have oh, I'm sorry void zero Marcus says the troll room has been there for 17 years He says actually even longer we started when you did one of your last daily source codes That's how long it's been around

1:37:09 No, they smoke their own dope over there. And they're good people that work there but it's a cost center for them. They don't make any money on Apple podcasts. So just a loss leader? Be a loss leader and call it what you want. You know they still dominate. But if you look at this show we have about 45% of people listening on modern podcast apps so booyah! Also, when we publish this is the same for every single podcast and when a new episode is published you get notified within 90 seconds. No waiting an hour or two hours or sometimes eight hours for some reason. What? Yes!

1:37:51 It's another podcasting 2.0 invention Sir Brian of London actually started off it's called Podping How hard can it be? And Apple is welcome to participate by the way They are more than welcome All these protocols are open and freely available They could do it at any time So it doesn't cost them anything to upgrade to a system that works better? In fact, it will cost them much less because they now have to poll every single one of the millions of podcasts they have in their index. To see if you know is there new update... Wait a minute let me get this straight They can save money A lot of money And its free Free for anybody to use

1:38:32 Yes. It makes no sense, all of the big hosts... What you're saying makes no sense there must be something else going on? Well let me just explain how it works so the way it used to work and was okay when they were a couple thousand podcasts You know your podcast app now Apple does it through their server through their index goes every single one of the podcast feeds and says do have any new episode Do you have new episode I do it every 15 minutes some do more frequently And if it's no, okay. No no and so in some cases They're actually bringing in the entire feed can be a megabyte can be a couple megabytes worth of data So it's incredible waste of resources with pod ping when you upload to your host like buzzsprout or blueberry Or RSS calm I mean all these guys they then hit the pod ping system which you can just sit there say oh Oh

1:39:26 Oh, there's a new episode from No Agenda and then you just go in and update your database. What if they miss the ping? Oh it's retro... You can always go back and say give me the last 15 minutes of pings or last three days of pings so there is no missing it. The pings are... Believe it or not its blockchain So the pings from day one are there. Blockchain! Holy moly It's actual use of blockchain I know This is the modern way of doing it. This is this is why we are winning in the media war Yeah, we're winning everything but donations so we'd like to thank people who support us with value for value this is you know There's no 30 million dollars for us But of course we don't have to lie for it We can go to bed and think I'm a pauper but I'm happy about it That's the way I see it You may have different viewpoint um, but we put value into the show. I think we do pretty good

CHAPTER 31 / 52 Discussion

No Agenda Art and Newsletter Updates

The No Agenda show selected Matthew Dropko's AI-generated artwork "Daddy Long Legs" for episode 1681, featuring a lineup of different-sized Joe Bidens. The hosts also discussed the 43rd anniversary of MTV's launch on August 1, 1981, and corrected a newsletter omission regarding the book "The City's Wealth," which details the financial history of Berkeley, California.

1:40:24 We do it consistently, I've been doing it for all... It'll be 17 years in October. And pretty well actually we do pretty well yeah but I want to speak gooder English than you and so we don't ask for anything in return other than if you got any kind of value out of the show anything at all even if you just laughed in fact primarily if he left hit us up with some value back you can do it with time talent or treasure And one of the obvious ways that people provide us with time and talent is our artists. They are busy during every single live show trying to come up with great ideas for artwork because we believe that is, well we know that is an excellent way to market the show because someone sees it coming through in their timeline. It's a laugh like oh what are these guys doing? It's a reminder that were funny, they were comedy show but also deconstruct media and we want to thank the artist from episode 1681 We titled it Daddy Long Legs

1:41:27 the exception to the rule, but we had a piece of art that pertained to the title and this was from Matthew Dropko 1972. And he had Kamala Joe one and Joe two right there with the height differences in a lineup it was an AI piece but we thought it was the best! There was a lot, before you say we thought it was the best. There was a lot of really good and usable pieces. Lots! So right off the bat were gonna say were not going to put the Olympic rings up there because that is I mean they're taking down videos they're causing all kinds of problems for people putting up anything Olympics Yep You can't do it The Olympic Peninsula in Washington when they had their Winter Olympics They were sued

1:42:15 Olympia Washington was sued by these guys. These guys are nuts, so you can't use the rings You will get sued and we don't need that kind of aggravation So that's out now looking at the vice president of the United States out of context of which it was said Was a little even too racist for us? so that's why we didn't use any of the rice ink because no one you have to hear the show to understand what it's about and There were a number of tall Biden gags. Let me see, Darren O'Neill had Biden on stilts we had what is this Dame Kenny Benn had like a mug shot wall with the two Bidens. Scaramanga had a good one too What did he have? He had the really super tall long legged guy Yes yeah he did have that one

1:43:13 There was a lot of weird fingers that didn't work at all. Now there's Trump, the arc to Trump Arc to Trump which is good but again out-of-context you just don't get it Yeah it was not going be easy That was Darren Elbert? That was a good AI prompt job I'll say So I don't know how he did that one It's unbelievable I bet it was He's got it down! I told him he should go into business Yes...AI images Which, well... You know there's a new report out that shows that it's not going to work. That you can do images in- I mean its a very detailed report but in general the conclusion is AI isn't gonna get any better its only going to get worse

1:44:05 It's bigger models, more models on top of each other. It's just it's not working all we're going to have is some interesting image generators and some chat bots that's all this being we got a chat bot here's another chat I think that's where if that's where it's limited in what? That's where its gonna end right there image generators that are based on old stuff because you can't put those images back into the system because they grow hairs yes they do grow hairs is the right term too And you can't, the same with the information. It has to all be frozen in time and then you have to update with modern news. And all it is is just chatbots! It's a problem. It's just chatbots that's it we got to chat about them. They stink and the thing that you said about that 950 page report...it's just a bunch of you know horse shit. Gobbledygook yeah it is. Yackyackyackyackyack. Exactly. Just a bunch of yackyackyackyackyack

1:45:02 So thank you very much Matthew Dropko, 1972. Good job! Thank you to all of the artists, all of them including Matthew Dropko our Dutch masters I did use Sir Shug's Vice President of the United Stakes Yes For the newsletter Well but and the newsletter is within context for people who listen to this show so i think that makes total sense By the way what I did not see maybe I missed it Did you put in a link to PDF for The City's Wealth book? I got called out. I forgot to do that and I'm surprised that when i sent the thing in for approval, it didn't get spotted at the time. Oh! I am sorry... Do you know that when you send me the thing for approval all those images and all that other stuff you put in there is never in it? No, I know. Okay so how could I have known? Well, It would have been..I was gonna do it as a section but its going into next newsletter because

1:45:58 We got it down, we got two different sources for this called the Cities of Wealth. I had the title, but my memory going back 45 years was a little... It's actually The City's Wealth. The City's Wealth? Yes And it has to do with Berkeley in particular and is fascinating you looked at them sure that... Yeah and I put it in these show notes under Kamala So you can find it on our Comma Line. By the way, I forgot to mention Happy Birthday MTV! MTV started on this day August 1st 1981 Were you there that day? No! It's so funny You know the first VJ was supposed to be Mark Goodman But even on the first day and this is so typical for MTV they... Not Bill Todson?! No they screwed up the tapes and Alan Hunter did the first because he pre-recorded everything

CHAPTER 32 / 52 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits and Memo Writing

Executive Producers Mr. Black and Gene Amorphous provided significant donations to support episode 1682. Gene Amorphous submitted his donation note in the form of a professional corporate memo, prompting a discussion on the value of memo-writing seminars. The hosts recalled using professional memo formats during their time at Ziff Davis to increase the impact of their internal communications.

mr. black· gene amorphous· memo writing· ziff davis· podcast awards

1:46:54 It's so typical for MTV to screw up the tapes on their first transmission. But there it is! That's a little bit of history nobody knows... Yeah, there you go. There you go. Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers The way you can support us with your treasure is by sending us any kind-any amount that represents the value you get from the show We appreciate it all From $1 to 10 thousand, doesn't matter whatever value means to you And of course we can't We can't determine what that is. Only you can determine that we do like to thank our executive and associate executive producers up front just like Hollywood does, you get a real credit which you can use anywhere it is an official production credit You can even put on imdb.com if you don't have one you can open the new account with that $200 above associate executive producer credit And we read your note $300 above an executive producer credit And we read your note we kick it off with Mr Black who was in Rijkswijk The Netherlands

1:47:52 And he sends us a 333 donation plus fees which is, wow! So it's 350.58 PayPal does 20 bucks? Yeah that's why if checks are better because they are definitely better 15 cents as opposed to 20 bucks He says uh... ITM John and Adam Well ITM to you brother This is a 333 donation for the Noah Genesos show since you both put in great value, effort and entertainment into the show. Thank you! Birthday call out from my daughter Eva who turns 13 on August 2nd and he says Gefeliciteerd Moppie You are the light of my life together with your little brother love always and health karma for all in need keep on keeping on Mr Black! You've got Karma

1:48:43 Now we have Gene Amorphous in Bellingham, Massachusetts 330333 and he sent not a note. You should look at this but a memo! An official memo. A memo? Oh he did send the memo yes I see it's pretty much structured like a memo should be. This is just a little side When I was worrying for the air- Wait, wait, wait. There's some... If you're gonna talk about your past... It's JCD story time everybody! This is a weird one at least it is to anyone with the right mind. Looking back on it thought that was fantastic

1:49:35 when you're working for the government and administrative state, even when you're not. You really try to take as many seminars as you can because there's somebody paying for them and you get to take the day off. It's free! It's free to you and you get to take the day off if you want. And it's just a way to go. So I took a seminar on memo writing... Ha ha, I've heard this story. And it was a whole day of how to write a memo properly. By the way, this memo I'd say is 80% close to being proper

1:50:15 And I've written memos for people who showed on how to write them. There's a formula that's just dynamite if you use it right, and I just thought it was one of the most valuable things I've ever learned and I would say this to anybody out there take as many of these little courses in classes these one day seminars whatever you can for whatever its about because you never know I thought the memo writing thing was going to be like a joke And in fact, I find it very useful. And I used it when I was at Ziff Davis. I used to write memos to the bosses that were just like super professional looking memos that had a lot of impact. They have impact anyway so we have a memo here and I'll read what is said. Hold on there's a CC to producers HR legal and sales everyone's on this memo. Yeah yeah its pretty funny. It's regarding the fall season

1:51:07 Yes, it says to John and Adam from... And he's got his little initials there which isn't really something that a lot of memo writers do. Gene Morpheus producer and then he says the comments at the bottom you don't need that word comments there but okay after consultation with the appropriate producers we have green-lighted your fall season I'm sure you are as excited about this news as we are Please provide episode outlines and storyboards at your earliest opportunity. Copy sales legal in HR for their review and approval we hope that this year the No Agenda show will be a leading contender for the People's Choice Podcast Awards. Good luck! Once that is done

1:51:53 Marketing needs to have a meeting to present some merchandising concepts to you. I'll reach out shortly to schedule, oh and as you would say there's some V4V enclosed." Now he forgot to copy No Agenda Shop on this which is a misser and uh... You must know that all podcast awards have an entrance fee requirement which of course we refuse to do because that's just a scam All award shows you have to pay to be nominated. So no. $333.33 from Gene, that's very funny Gene thank you! The Highland Craigs are in Colorado Springs, Colorado. $240 Wait wait we only have two executive producers for this show? Yes sir and that's it... That blows Well there ya go

Olympic Medal Composition and Value

International Olympic Committee regulations dictate that "gold" medals are actually composed of 92.5% silver and plated with only 6 grams of gold. According to Oxford Economics, a gold medal is worth approximately $1,027, while a silver medal is worth $535. The bronze medal, made of copper, tin, and zinc, has a raw material value of only $4.60.

olympics· gold medals· silver· bronze· oxford economics

2:06:45 I'd like to start off this section with an ask Adam. Oh goodness, I was unprepared for an ask Adam Yes, this is because it's the Olympics. It's a big deal. It is? It IS the Olympics! We don't have any Olympic clips or anything because we'd get sued but we do have an Ask Adam based on the Olympics. Okay so which one do I play here? You say Ask Adam Olympics Q. Okay Elsa you've seen the medals athletes had been winning at the Olympics all week well trick question what do you think they're made of

2:07:35 Whoa, what do you think they're made of? Well I know what they represent. They represent gold you would think there was some gold in that one they represent silver which you would hope there would be some silver in there and bronze but I'm gonna go with tungsten That's a good one. It's a callback that it goes way back Yes So let's go, okay now this is the Ask Adam answer and Q2. At the end of this... Is it another question? This is a compound Ask Adam at the end if this is another question Well I want to say real solid gold silver and bronze but this question you're asking is making me second-guess myself As you should according to International Olympic Committee regulations The Olympic gold medals must be made out of at least 92.5%

2:08:29 silver, which comes out to 523 grams. And then they are plated with 6 grams of gold. Wait wait wait! Then what is the silver metal made of? Good question! The silver metal is 525 grams of pure silver. So I bet you're wondering about the bronze metal. Yeah It's an alloy made of copper tin and zinc Well now you have me wondering how much each metal is worth Well according to Oxford Economics What a gyp What a gyp! I remember when i was in the international school of Amsterdam and now this is when i was nine maybe eight or nine and they had some olympic medalists come in and we were all allowed to look at the gold medal. And they said you can't touch it because it's pure gold, and it could actually warp...you could bend it that's what they told me

2:09:26 Now, of course that was in 1974. Well maybe in 74 it was different. Maybe... I don't see how it warped though because you touched it! Well they just didn't want us with our grubby hands all over them. They were smudging it up and they had to clean it. So what is the final question? What are they worth? What's each one of them worth? How many grams of silver was it? 500 something. They're probably each worth about, I'd say about $275 Play the end. Gold is worth an estimated $1,027 The silver medal is about five hundred thirty-five dollars and the bronze Sorry to tell you it's about four dollars in sixty cents Oh man! What a chance! Answer the question go Wow wow well that was news that we can use at the water cooler I think so Yes handy to know

A veteran Secret Service counter-sniper has turned whistleblower, claiming that leadership corruption will lead to another assassination attempt before November. During Congressional testimony, officials admitted that Secret Service drones were grounded due to "bandwidth problems" while the shooter, Thomas Crooks, successfully flew a drone over the site. The site supervisor responsible for the security perimeter in Butler, Pennsylvania, has not been relieved of duty.

2:10:27 There's been a lot of hearings in Congress about the attempted assassination of President Trump. And it's really, it's looking more and more like this went beyond incompetence. Beyond incompetence! And as much as I don't like saying it Jesse Waters did a pretty good backgrounder of everything that took place So, I'm going to play a couple of his clips. This first one's a little longer it's about a buck and half and the rest are very short but i think it kind of brings us up to speed on some of the anomalies and atrocities and outrageousness of what took place here A Secret Service counter-sniper is predicting another assassination attempt before November

2:11:18 In an email obtained by Real Clear Politics, a Secret Service agent with 20 years experience on the counter-sniper team is announcing he's going to blow the whistle until all of his supervisors are fired. The counter sniper says his mission is to prevent another JFK style assassination and the only reason that hasn't happened is because they've gotten lucky He says Secret Service leadership is corrupt and states clearly, quote. We all should expect another assassination attempt to happen before November. We've exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership after this email went public it was wiped off the secret service servers there's a massive cover up underway and it spilled over into Congress

2:12:03 After Cheadle resigned in disgrace, her number two got promoted and testified today that the Secret Service screwed up but the local police it was really all their fault. 30 seconds if it's communicated directly to a counter sniper team would that be enough time to react prior to the firing of those shots? Senator, if we'd had that information they would have been able to address it more quickly. It appears that information was stuck or siloed in the state and local channel Were explicit instructions provided to cover the roof of the AGR building?

2:12:39 and locals just not follow it or were those explicit instructions not provided? It's my understanding what was communicated is that the locals had a plan and that they had been there before. We are looking at this, and they should have been on that roof And the fact that they were in the building is something I'm still trying to understand So part of the reason that they weren't on the roof as the news has been very fragmented, things we're hearing is because it was too hot and therefore, oh no you local SWAT guys don't go out there. You don't need to do that but here's the local SWAT commander The accusation that somehow we were told that uh...to be on the roof line for instance and that it was too hot

2:13:25 That's ridiculous. You know, our snipers are prepared to operate in western Pennsylvania from anywhere from 10 degrees below zero to 90 degrees. They were prepared to be wherever they were told by Secret Service that day." Then probably the funniest most outrageous testimony the reason that The Secret Service could not fly their drone to check around and see if anyone was, I don't know walking around doing weird suspicious stuff. Well there was a very clear and obvious explanation they couldn't fly their drone You had a drone system but you had bandwidth problems The bandwidth apparently was adequate for the shooters' drones but not for the Secret Service Can you explain that?

2:14:17 I have no explanation for it, sir. People fly drones all the time on the peripheries of our sites and we go out and we talk to them and we ascertain what their intentions are On this day in particular because of the connectivity challenge as you noted there was a delay And he flew his drone at 351 approximately They had bad internet This is getting funnier by the minute And then of course the most damning part is the person who was in fact responsible, the site supervisor has not been subpoenaed been called or his name or her name even known to the public. Who is the lead site agent?

2:15:03 who made the decision to leave the AGR building completely outside of the security perimeter. Who was that? Senator, I cannot give you that name this person is operational they're still doing investigations are still doing protective visits... Have they been relieved of duty Senator, they have not been relieved of duty. I know their name by the way Why have they not been relieved of duty? They are still cooperating and not only being interviewed by the FBI but also by our Office of Professional Responsibility. I found it interesting that they both use the they pronoun is this person trans Or is it more than one person? Is there more than one site supervisor? No, there'd be one site supervisor. And they both say they... I know their name! Well they can't... what is that?! Maybe its trans-person That would make sense Now The uh It was a thing with this FBI guy who was saying well you know he was

CHAPTER 36 / 52 Discussion

Thomas Crooks Gab Account and Local Police

The FBI is investigating a Gab account linked to Thomas Crooks that reportedly contained pro-immigration and pro-lockdown posts from 2021. Local law enforcement officers in Butler, Pennsylvania, stated they had no face-to-face briefing with Secret Service snipers on the day of the shooting. Local snipers had shared photos of Crooks acting suspiciously via text group 30 minutes before the shots were fired, but the information was "siloed."

thomas crooks· gab· fbi· local law enforcement· butler pa

2:16:02 He was a registered Republican and he had posted all kinds of anti-Semitic stuff, so that makes total sense. He wanted to kill Trump. Unfortunately they also subpoenaed Gab and Torbos the guy who runs the GAB site. He gave them all the information which I think was seven or nine hundred pages of posts and these posts came after this 2019 information that showed this shooter, this Crooks fellow as a registered Republican. Marsha Blackburn did bring it up in the hearing. And then we understand that the GAB account is pro-immigration, pro lockdown leftist views? Is that accurate?

2:16:54 I haven't seen it directly, but I believe from what I've been told that is accurate. With the GAB account we're also though that's been publicly revealed through the CIO and other things We're still working to certify and verify that that's his account also But it does have differing points of view It would appear Okay And what age? And how fresh is that GAB account? The GAB account, based on my recollection the comments in there or the messaging is from about 2021 I believe. Okay and the other preceded that maybe he was age 14 Yes Senator, the other account that we talked about was in the 2019-2020 time frame

2:17:40 So this I mean it's very odd It reeks of a total cover-up and I would say yeah, there's a cover up underway particularly from the mainstream media were it not for this astounding interview that ABC aired and has been re aired and hashed up and chopped up and put on everywhere where they talked to the local The local guys who the Secret Service is blaming for the mess up And well, here's a piece of it. I remember standing in the parking lot and talking to one of the guys and we just became part of history

2:18:16 and not in a good way. Wandering around, I just seemed out of place Greg Nichols snapped these photos of the shooter We had a text group between local snipers that were on scene I'd sent those pictures out to that group and advised them what I noticed or seen What do you think is... I assumed there would be somebody coming out to speak with this individual or find out what's going on So how do you know if Greg's concerns about crooks are being relayed properly. We don't, it's we have to assume that when he put that information out to command the command took that information and did something with it

2:18:58 And now somehow the Secret Service guys that were protecting Trump claim they never even got word of this. Like, they never heard about it at all. We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers whenever they arrived and that never happened so I think that was probably up A pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the Secret Service. You had no communication with the Secret Service at all on that Saturday? No, not until after the shooting I believe yeah And by then It was too late The only thing i can come up with is We were supposed to have a dead Trump and a lot of conspiracy theories

CHAPTER 37 / 52 Discussion

Iran Hit List and Trump Inside Job Claims

Intelligence reports claiming Iran placed Donald Trump on a hit list are being viewed with skepticism by some analysts who suggest it may be a narrative distraction. Trump has used his Truth Social platform to insinuate that the security failures in Butler may have been an "inside job." Comparisons are being drawn to the JFK assassination, with concerns that files will remain classified for decades.

iran· hit list· donald trump· jfk· assassination attempt

2:19:42 Just put as much nonsense you get everything make it looks like everyone pointing at each other This wasn't this is not playing out the way. It was intended this This is baffling to me do you have any thoughts? Well there was a woman I think her name's last name his crab tree, I'm not sure She's an investigative journalist who's been following this and she was on one of the radio shows And she says this guy this guy took over from Cheadle mm-hmm Is the really the go-to guy he's the guy responsible. He should have been fired too long with a quitting We're just gonna call him no not day I'm not talking about the vague. I'm talking about the guy that was testifying Oh with the funny haircut oh that guy That got that guy, he's the second in command he took over. He's the temporary chief now of the Secret Service guys and

2:20:35 And she says he's the real responsible guy. He's the one, He's to go-to guys Cheetah was just a figurehead, you know pointy and he's the guy who is really running things and he's the guy should go I mean You see I'm sure you've seen the video where you see that kid actually walking while Trump is talking you seem getting into position Just before he shot yeah, I mean this it's crazy I think there may be something to the idea that Trump should be dead. He should, of course Joe was also supposed to be dead stay tuned and Trump should not be alive and they had all this set up to make it just as confusing as possible you know the initial like wow he searched for JFK make it like a JFK assassination have people trying to figure this out for the next 50 years

2:21:28 And then, you know, oh we can't release the files. You know it's too sensitive... Right and they also throw in this idea that Iran put him on a hit list Yes! Which is something they don't necessarily release There's no way of knowing this This is bullcrap that part And then having their phony baloney bank accounts That this kid supposedly had all over the world somehow He was just a kid Give me a break We may never know Trump is insinuating inside job. He's been you know, yeah he has been true. He's been truthing I have a couple of boots on the grounds about CrowdStrike You know, I've been I have not let this Microsoft Azure outage slip by

CHAPTER 38 / 52 Discussion

Microsoft Azure Outage and CrowdStrike Kill Switch

Boots-on-the-ground reports from IT professionals suggest that the massive Microsoft Azure outage in July 2024 may have been a targeted cyber attack rather than a simple software glitch. Some military contractors were instructed to shut down all internet-connected systems globally. Speculation exists that the CrowdStrike update was utilized as a "kill switch" to protect the network from a broader breach of government and military accounts.

microsoft azure· crowdstrike· cyber attack· military· kill switch

2:22:12 Remember, we still don't really know. I mean yeah we know what happened with CrowdStrike but the fact that it happened is so outrageous for a company that does these things for a living it just makes no sense but it came right after It looked like all of the Microsoft Azure, their whole cloud. Microsoft 365... All kinds of things were happening and we had- And don't forget that this also coincides with the shot at Trump Yes right after well a couple days later after his speech at the RNC which I initially thought well you know it seems like that happened right on time to change the news cycle which it did

2:22:55 But I have a couple boots on the ground. First one, and these are all dudes named Ben in this case... PricewaterhouseCooper. The week of the CrowdStrike issue on that Thursday, the day before the large CrowdStrike outage we had observed an extremely large outage for all our clients in the central US Azure region Dynamics 365 CE FNO Outlook Team SharePoint Accessible etc were all unaccessible

2:23:32 We contacted Microsoft support and received little news or information as to the root cause, which is weird for a large partner. Even a week later the information they've shared with us is nothing burger! Friday morning when we observed the CrowdStrike outage The news reported that CrowdStrike took down Azure but on our end it seemed to be the reverse He says, something happened at Microsoft and they appear to have requested assistance from CrowdStrike. Not sure of what else transpired or the nitty-gritty but figured I'd pass this along given episode 1680's commentary." Then now Azure and I've received several emails about this they also run all of the military systems as your Microsoft Azure is a big cloud provider for the government in particular for the military

2:24:19 I am currently seeing many articles about the new Microsoft 360 and Azure outages. This is from one of our producers in the army, I'm not done listening to Sunday show but i'm not sure if you talked about this any further my last email forgot to mention my skepticism of the timing of the cloud strike issues Not sure about other branches of the army But the army has very recently started officially using Microsoft 360 slash Azure, then all of a sudden they're having a lot of problems and now a network infrastructure issue. Just wondering if you and John believe that that looks like something that people are in fact trying to breach military Microsoft accounts? The timing is just too close to be some sort of coincidence." And there's only one article that talks about this...and then the final one

2:25:06 ITM, I have a quick boots on the ground report about the cyber incident. I work for mechanical repair and overhaul company in the aviation industry We have...I'm going to take out the name of that we have an even mix of commercial military work earlier this week were told not to turn on any of our computers The internet was shut off at every site from Texas to Indonesia We had been hacked by someone or a group of someones for something. Obviously, since we do a lot of military work the fears were targeted for information on the different aircrafts we service but it could just also be ransomware attack I'm machinist not IT so only have limited information all this The only effect this has had me is that i can't access Mastercam without internet to verify license

2:25:49 We use Microsoft Azure. I talked with my IT guy, he said it's not a huge leap to think it's connected to what happened with them but everything they've been seeing points this being a long thought-out attack separate from that event. Nobody knows what they were after or if they got it, not surprised this has happened there have been a lot of complaints from our IT guys about poor network security A handful of sites are in the middle of transitioning to new company after they recently were sold and the word is triumph dropped their IT support for those sites prematurely before the new company that purchased them could take over This smells bad And it's also very possible that some hack occurred on the Azure cloud network and CrowdStrike was called in to take everything down, just bring all the computers down. We need everything to shut down right now which it did! It is a good way to do it. It's like the best kill switch you can imagine one that you can relatively easily turn back on

CHAPTER 39 / 52 Discussion

Boies Schiller Lawsuit Against CrowdStrike

The law firm Boies Schiller Flexner is exploring a class action lawsuit against CrowdStrike, seeking to bypass the company's End User License Agreement (EULA). Legal experts argue that "fraud vitiates everything," and if the firm can prove CrowdStrike made false representations about its pre-release testing, the liability protections in the EULA may be voided. This could lead to massive settlement leverage for affected businesses.

boies schiller· crowdstrike· eula· class action· fraud

2:26:54 and guaranteed that everybody using Microsoft in a network environment would have their machines cut off. We may never know, but I like our boots on the ground reporting And then finally for you from our constitutional lawyer Rob about the EULA and CrowdStrike there is a class action lawsuit and it's Boy Schiller these are not just some fly-by-night dudes And I said, how can they get past the EULA? How can they sue CrowdStrike for what happened and he gave me a two-point answer. Fraud vitiates whatever that means everything it touches including EULA's so if Boy Schiller could make a colorable claim that CrowdStrike made false representation in selling its product the EULA might fall by the wayside

2:27:50 What kind of representations? Well, it could be many things such as false statements about their pre-release testing, their safety measures or the recovery process. Their security etc. Boies Schiller is scrubbing these issues out as we speak if there's a crack in the Eula Dam, Boies Schiller will find it and use it to maximum effect they wouldn't even have to take it to trial settlement leverage is all they need so that's for you Nice. Yeah, I love our producers this is why we're the best podcast in the universe yeah pretty much And of course you know she makes 30 million dollars right on cue Right on cue it's time to start the pivot We've got to get away from this AI we've got to keep The Wall Street pipe going 60 minutes comes in Thank You Scott Pelley whenever and when a hype is created

CHAPTER 40 / 52 Discussion

Quantum Computing Hype and IBM

Wall Street and major tech firms like IBM and Google are shifting their focus from AI to quantum computing as the next major investment frontier. Physicist Michio Kaku appeared on 60 Minutes to describe quantum processors as "godlike" machines that compute using atomic forces. Skeptics point out that despite a decade of hype, there is no evidence of a programmable, operationally efficient quantum computer that can solve real-world problems.

quantum computing· ibm· michio kaku· qubits· wall street

2:28:45 You know this douchebag Michio Kaku is gonna be right in the middle of it. Artificial intelligence is the magic of the moment, but this is a story about what's next something incomprehensible This past December IBM announced an advance in an entirely new kind of computing one that may solve problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers millions years That's the difference in quantum computing, a technology being developed at IBM, Google and others. It is named for quantum physics which describes the forces of the subatomic realm. And as we told you last winter, science is deep and we can't scratch the surface

2:29:35 But we hope to explain just enough so that you won't be blindsided by a breakthrough that could transform civilization. I like the term, The Magic of the Moment That's right. You gotta believe in magic to believe it's coming! Yes, bring in the crazy guy with the crazy hair! The quantum computer pushes the limits of knowledge new science new engineering New memes All leading to this processor that computes with the atomic forces that created the universe. Oh no! It's godlike, it's godlike! To understand the change go back to 1947 and the invention of a switch called a transistor

2:30:26 The transistor, a new name. Computers have processed information on transistors ever since getting faster as more transistors were squeezed onto a chip billions of them today. Billions! But it takes that many because each transistor holds information in only two states it's either on or its off like a coin heads or tails. It is not holding information Hold on, I'm gonna let you respond after this 19 seconds is up. All right, John C. Dvorak technology expert tell me about quantum computing is it real? Is it coming? Is it here? Is it the next big thing do we need to invest in a quick well I'm not saying It's not a good investment if everyone thinks that's a good investment because thats how stocks go up and down its got nothing to do with anything There's no evidence that these things work There's no evidence this technology even doable

2:31:47 And everything that's been going on so far, let's go with the quantum computing thing. Google made an announcement it must have been 10 years ago that they had a quantum computer that solved some problem they wouldn't have been able to solve in 100 thousand years and then what? What happened after... where is this...? How come we haven't gone anywhere since then?! Because they don't have enough qubits! They need more qubits. We need investment for more qubits! I mean, it's like what... Do you remember this when Google said they solved some problem using their quantum computer? And it was like something that would have taken a hundred thousand years but they did it in 10 minutes or an hour or whatever it was and then we haven't heard anything, we haven't heard jack since then?!

2:32:36 What was that all about? It was bull crap is what it was. There's nothing solved. I mean, this whole quantum computer thing is a pie in the sky that has never been shown to work and if it ever could work using quantum physics which actually you'd have two things... Two different things at two different spots at the same time, it's really something no one can fathom Nobody could program these things. This is ridiculous, but it's a good diversion I have a 2016 clip of Justin Trudeau Remember he opened the quantum computer center in Canada? How'd that work out

2:33:31 This is from... That's almost 10 years ago. This is 2019 Glenn Beck on quantum computing? And right now that computer is called... This is with Jeff Brown It was actually a partially built by IBM and it's one of the at one of the Department of Energy's national laboratories, and it's capable of something called 200 petaflops per second which is Just imagine football field sized Okay blah blah blah blah whatever. I'm just telling you that my prediction that they're gonna They're gonna switch Wall Street will switch from AI to quantum computing because it's falling apart

CHAPTER 41 / 52 Discussion

Michio Kaku on Quantum Supremacy

Michio Kaku's new book, "Quantum Supremacy," argues that the race to build a workable quantum computer will determine which nation rules the world economy. Kaku claims quantum computers can scan all possible routes in a maze simultaneously, unlike classical computers. However, critics argue that the technology faces insurmountable programming and energy requirement hurdles, similar to the failed "parallel computing" era.

michio kaku· quantum supremacy· china· parallel computing· energy requirements

2:34:13 It's falling apart. He still got more legs How much more legs? Well, he got more legs I won't bore you with Meets You I don't know how much more legs All i know is that it has more legs Well do you want to hear the last clip of Meets You Kaku Kukakaku? Yeah, that would be enjoyable You can see there is a fantastic amount of information stored when you look at all possible angles not just up or down. Physicist Michio Kaku of the City University of New York already calls today's computers classical he uses a maze to explain quantums difference let's look at it classical computer calculating how a mouse navigates amaze it is painful

2:35:03 One by one, it has to map every single left turn right turn left turn right turn before it finds the goal. Now a quantum computer scans all possible routes simultaneously! This is amazing! How many turns are there? Hundreds of possible turns, right? Quantum computers do it all at once Kaku's book titled Quantum Supremacy explains the stakes. We're looking at a race, a race between China between IBM Google Microsoft Honeywell all the big boys are in this race to create a workable operationally efficient quantum computer because the nation or company that does this will rule the world economy This is what they said about AI

2:35:53 And now it's about quantum computing and he's got a book out so you know it's real. Apple has decided not to use NVIDIA GPUs for its AI models, instead is using the Google TPUs which is interesting. Meta's AI assistant was widely distributed said oh no no Trump's assassination attempt was fictional that's right up there with glue on your pizza So I'll say it, let me be the one. There's no evidence quantum computing will ever work Let me be the one to say it and... I'm not gonna argue with you No because there is no evidence that the whole model even works at all! I mean this let alone programmable

2:36:58 They had enough trouble, there was an era called parallel computing and they came up with all these machines. Yes! I remember parallel computing yeah that was good And they couldn't program those things to...they couldn't do it It's just not programmable There is only so much you can You have to program these things They don't do it on their own They cant..they dont self-program even though there a belief that AI creates programs And ya know it can do some code but It's nothing creative. Somebody has to die before they give up this AI stuff, someone's got to die! He's gotta kill somebody I mean it's all just such a bunk and the energy...I mean it's crazy how the energy requirements are just not being you know oh well yeah we need more power yeah that doesn't matter you know it's climate change okay but we don't care about climate change when it comes to that no no not at all speaking of climate change

CHAPTER 42 / 52 Discussion

California Park Fire and Arson

The Park Fire in California has grown into the state's sixth-largest wildfire, sprawling across four counties. While NBC News framed the event as a result of "climate-driven fire seasons," law enforcement arrested a man for arson after he allegedly pushed a burning car into a gully. The incident highlights the media's tendency to attribute man-made disasters to global climate trends.

park fire· california· arson· climate change· nbc news

2:37:57 We got that horrible park fire up in California. Yeah, it's a good one. Tonight the nation's largest wildfire brazen and boundless Firefighters spread thin over the Park fire, a threat zone now sprawling across four counties. In less than a week growing into California's sixth largest wildfire ever according to CalFire the biggest in state history are all from the last six years an era of climate driven fire seasons that scientists say start sooner and last longer seems to be just a continuous cycle of these and

2:38:34 It wears on our community. NBC News just taking a little opportunity there to turn and clear case of arson into climate change. Thank you for that! Yeah, the guy blew up his car and drove it into a ditch and started the fire but now as climate change what these people are horrible not as bad though is HOTEP Oh, your buddy? He's back in the news. Dr. Jotep Hotez is back now along with that you need to know let me just grab the latest here that where is it there's all kinds of approvals now for bird flu vaccines dengue vaccines whatever it is we're gonna have a vaccine for you

CHAPTER 43 / 52 Discussion

Peter Hotez on Vaccine Aggression

Dr. Peter Hotez has called for the involvement of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, and NATO to counter "anti-vaccine aggression." Speaking with the WHO, Hotez characterized skepticism of mRNA technology as a security problem and a "lethal force." He argued that the health sector cannot solve the problem of vaccine hesitancy alone and requires military and legal intervention.

peter hotez· who· nato· vaccines· anti-science

2:39:30 Whatever we can get some traction with, we'll have a vaccine. It's all mRNA based and so they catch up with Hotep Hotez And he says, well it's really not going to matter because there is too many people who are anti-vaccine and anti science. We're going have to call in the big guns literally. You know the health sector doesn't know what to do because this is now first and foremost a political problem. Um, and when I've said to the Biden administration is the health sector can solve this on its own we're going to have

2:40:09 Homeland Security, Commerce Department, Justice Department to help us understand how to do this. And I've said the same with...I met with Dr Tedros last month in Geneva at WHO, the Director General, to say that I don't know that the World Health Organization can solve this on our own we need the other United Nations agencies NATO. This is a security problem because it's no longer a theoretical construct or some arcane academic exercise 200,000 Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression anti science aggression and so this is now a lethal force that and now I feel as a pediatric vaccine scientist its just

2:40:55 Just as important for me to make new vaccines to save lives, the other side of saving lives is countering this anti-vaccine aggression. So we need to make you take the vaccines at gunpoint and everybody who is anti vaccine or anti science aggresion they need to be arrested or shot? Shot on sight! This guy he's a danger He is a danger that guy Unbelievable. And he looks it too, if you look at him he is a creep. He's a complete creep. He looks like a creep, his head, his look, smile everything. It just gives you...it makes your skin crawl. He's a creep! Hey we can't end the show without discussing the chaos in the United Kingdom I have one clip Okay let's uh where is your clip? Wapow

CHAPTER 44 / 52 Discussion

UK Stabbings and Axel Rudakabana

Riots erupted across the United Kingdom following a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport that left three children dead. The suspect was identified as 17-year-old Axel Rudakabana, born in the UK to Rwandan parents. Protesters in London and Manchester chanted "No more boats" and "We want our country back," while the government and media labeled the unrest as "far-right" and "racist."

southport· uk riots· axel rudakabana· taylor swift· immigration

2:41:54 Oh, no it says UK. Alright maybe not...UK stabbings? Yeah UK stabbings Turning now to unrest in the U.K., protesters clash with police in northwest England amid outrage over the killing of three young girls So far roughly 50 law enforcement officers were reportedly injured and nearly 30 of them were sent at a hospital The event traces back to a stabbing spree on Monday where a 17-year old suspect killed three children and injured 11 others at a Taylor Swift themed dance class. The stabbing suspect is currently in custody but police have yet to release any details about him

2:42:33 Officials said the outrage stems from allegations circulating that the suspect was an illegal immigrant. Footage show police vehicles damaged and set alight as officers were pelted with bricks in large garbage containers. The violence took place as the town was holding a peaceful vigil, mourning the lives lost in the tragic event So we have a producer named Sarah in the UK and she's kept me very up to speed on this. Yeah, I've gotten her notes too She's good Oh she sends them to you as well? I wonder if she sends the same ones Interesting...very long and full of links No, no, I don't get links from...I'm having to think it was someone else yeah maybe okay so She says is really disgusting how the media and politicians

2:43:17 are calling people who are taking to the streets and are outraged by what has happened, calling them far-right and racist. And you know members of Nigel Farage's party...and of course this is horrible for the new Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister because it all happening on his watch but she also—and there's nothing I can play clips of—but she sent me clip after clip of people fighting in the streets with machetes! Machete is like the weapon of choice in the UK And it's just everywhere. They don't have guns? Yeah, they don't have guns so they got machetes and now this kid turns out his name is... hold on... His name is because they have his name Axel Rudakabana He is Rwandan of Rwandan parents he was born in the UK there's still no clear motive

2:44:14 But he just went up and started slashing kids and anybody he could. And because he's only six days away from his 18th birthday, the magistrate has wisely decided to disclose his name. The media has only shown photos of him when he was like seven. Oh look at this cute little kid! Well... He is not quite as cute. Yeah very classic. Well there are two different court hearings today on days and the judge here said that the principal interest for lifting that restriction was that he would soon reach his majority and therefore would have all those restrictions lifted regardless. He also pointed towards much of the unrest we've seen

2:45:09 taking place across the country in recent days. Rioting last night not only in London but also in Hartlepool and Manchester, the judge here saying Mr Justice Munari Casey that at least part of that rioting had been inspired by a vacuum of the facts where false information was being spread. He said this was nonsense and it needed to be challenged with the truth, well the truth is now that the suspect in this case alleged to have committed three murders and ten attempted murders and possession of an offensive sharp blade is Axel Rudikibana, a 17 year old again turning 18 in just six days as the suspects in this case

2:45:52 sitting in the courtroom in the first lower court, in the magistrates he was silent but he smiled towards the press gallery behind the dock as he entered the court and then covered his face with his grey jumper tracksuit. In the crown court he entered without gazing towards us again covering his face with a tracksuit rocking gently side-to-side as he heard deliberations between the defending and prosecuting barristers and the judge about these reporting restrictions and upcoming dates. So it's a tinderbox right now, and people have taken to 10 Downing Street got a couple of good chants which I thought were worth playing this is the first one. No more boats! No more boats! This is the crowd chanting... Okay, okay, I don't understand what they said? No more boats

2:46:48 No more boats is what they said? Yeah, because the immigrants are coming in on boats. No more boats! No more boats and then this one hopefully you can understand We want our country back! Well...you voted for the wrong party if you want your country back, because they're all in on immigration. So... Well so is I mean the immigration peaked with it with the conservatives It was going through the roof with them and their last year? I didn't say this should vote conservative! I said they voted the wrong party how about Nigel Farage?! I guess you're gonna have to go that way because these two parties the Conservatives and the Labor are just useless They don't care

2:47:49 It's a what a mess, what a mess. The knife crime is just it's amazing but the Brits you know and these guys are walking around they got the Union Jack flag draped around their shoulders this is a tinderbox situation This is not going to end well and I don't think they know what to do other than take a hard line people want a hard line now They're sick of it! And it's not necessarily that, by the way what is this with always showing the 15 year old picture? You know of the shooter. The Trump assassin This kid all of it who was Yeah they always show some picture when the kid was young and innocent looking Yes That's like They did that with the hands up don't shoot guy yeah It was a big fat huge

2:48:44 Bruiser and they keep showing a little picture when he was in grammar school. Yeah, yeah Brown or whatever his name was? Yeah you gave me a link for the show notes it has not come up I just want to remind you electro hypersensitivity Do you want to talk about that or is that something that can wait? I'm not going to be able to talk about it. Forgot, even sent that to you now that you mentioned it. Hey do we need to do anything on the... Yeah well I'll just say quickly that there's a good link in the show notes people should check out which has to do with RF basically too much of it and they're in the house.

Gitmo 9/11 Plea Agreements

The Pentagon announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have reached plea agreements to avoid the death penalty. The suspects will plead guilty to lesser charges in exchange for life sentences. The timing of the announcement has raised questions about whether the Biden-Harris administration is moving to finally close the detention facility.

You don't have that problem with the home wire I recommend a tinfoil hat personally, that will protect you. It probably is not a bad idea nowadays Here's an interesting little update The Pentagon just announced the three men Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Waleed Bin Attash and Mustafa Alhawassawi will plead guilty to some charges as early as next week

2:50:09 plea agreements in the military commissions process. They've been held at Gitmo for years, with the U.S accusing the Al Qaeda terrorist suspects of plotting the 9-11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. Now, the details of the plea agreements are still unknown but they are expected to plead guilty to lesser charges that could spare them the death penalty sentencing may not come for months, but they will likely appear at a hearing in Guantanamo in the coming days. Not quite sure what to make of that news why that's coming out now all of a sudden I don't understand the timing of it there's some reason something is happening yeah something getting ready to shut down guanta get mo oh

Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran

Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, Iran, on July 31, 2024, shortly after attending the inauguration of the new Iranian president. The strike reportedly involved a precision missile that hit Haniyeh's room in a high-security Revolutionary Guard compound. While Israel has not officially claimed responsibility, the event is seen as a major intelligence failure for Iran and a significant escalation in the regional conflict.

ismail haniyeh· hamas· tehran· israel· iran

2:50:48 And then of course Israel striking Beirut. Yeah, we should at least talk about this all right you got a clip I'm sure also have some clips in the Venezuelan election I can push those yeah we have pushed that off because we're running and we're running on but this is real thing is too much stuff going on I have an analysis from a Hamas expert. Okay, that'll do. That might be worth listening to this is a... Let's play the background at first This is the clip Israel kills two leaders Israel kills two leaders. We turn to the Middle East where two developments in the past 24 hours have pushed tensions to a critical point First, Israel said it killed a leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah in Beirut and then another air strike allegedly carried out by Israel took a political leader and head of negotiations for a possible ceasefire deal in Gaza

2:51:41 Given Haniyeh's public-facing role and leadership, we wanted to know what his death means for Hamas. So we called Khaled Elgindi – he is a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute where he directs the program on Palestine and Israeli Palestinian Affairs. Welcome back to All Things Considered! Thanks for having me back. Well Israel has now allegedly killed three out of four top leaders in Hamas but Hamas says its leaders don't matter that it has lost plenty of leaders to Israeli attacks before How do you see the loss of Haniyah affecting the group's operations and the war in Gaza overall? Well, in terms of Hamas' operations it is not going to change that much in the immediate term. In that there will be a replacement and this is not the first time that Hamas leader has been assassinated by Israel. And Hamas will survive but also probably gain a lot of domestic political support among Palestinians

2:52:39 because Hania was seen as someone who's not a radical, not even a military person. I want to follow up on that. You think that there will be actually more support for Hamas following Haniya's death because he was moderate, but doesn't that depend on who succeeds Hania? If he was more moderate in your view might that actually harden Hamas' resolve and perhaps leave leadership in the hands of hardliners? Yeah and I think the two things can both be true you can gain support because people will sympathize with Hamas that has taken so many losses and also it is likely to radicalize the movement from within. Okay, all right that's basically I had to cut that off cuz the guy was boring yeah but it's quite boring but the thing that's interesting as discussed a little bit by these last two clips which are the analysis clips from NTD

2:53:38 which has good, they bring on good analysts better than what you heard was NPR. Was the fact that this guy, this Hamas guy was in a hardened facility owned by, run by the Iranian or the Iranian guard whatever their operations called it? Yeah, the Revolutionary Guard And it was one of those missiles we've heard about, we see about, we know about. We don't know the details how they work I think they're worked with a beacon personally but it's like shot from 100 miles away up from an...I think with an F-16 or F3 laser precision surgical precision 100 miles away goes into Tehran goes downtown and goes up to main drag goes up and into the window of that guy's room and blows him up nice

CHAPTER 47 / 52 Discussion

Middle East Deterrence and Trump Peace Plan

Analysts suggest the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in the heart of Tehran serves as a powerful deterrent, signaling that Israel can penetrate the highest levels of the Iranian regime. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced regarding Donald Trump's potential peace plan for Ukraine, which involves cutting aid while simultaneously threatening Russia with unprecedented sanctions. Trump is positioned by supporters as a "peacemaker" who could resolve multiple global conflicts.

iran· proxies· donald trump· ukraine· peace plan

2:54:32 That's like, wow. It is so let's listen to this guy earlier we spoke with Cameron conserrini a vice president of the National Union for Democracy in Iran about the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran now Hamas is saying that its political leader was killed by an Israeli strike in Tehran Iran's capital Now the Israeli government has yet to take credit for this but if it was Israel what is the message here? I think the message to the Islamic Republic is loudly and clearly that wherever you are, wherever your proxies are even if they're in the heart of your capital we can get you and will get you. And i think that message was received very clearly in Tehran Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas was killed in Tehran only hours after a private meeting

2:55:21 in his secret compound, the Supreme Leader's secret compound that is. And he was there attending the inauguration of the regime's new president. So I think that there is no doubt the message to Tehran was we will find you and we will eliminate you and we can also do it to other of your officials as well. It wasn't only the killing of Ismail Haniyeh that was important but it was a message that it was sending to Ali Khamenei, to Massoud Pezeshkian and to leaders of Islamic Republic uh... that israel has uh... clearly penetrated very high levels of the regime in tehran and in your view is this a deterrence or escalation i think it's clear to turn so i think if you were such a blow uh... to the islamic republic obviously as well honey is not iranian but he is the leader of one of these on publics most important proxies had he been killed anywhere it would have been a blow to the regime about the fact that he was killed

2:56:13 in Tehran on such an important day for the regime, just hours after seeing the Supreme Leader makes it all that much more significant. And I think that as a result of this it was such a significant blow that the regime will be forced to back down to some extent and I don't think this will lead to a larger escalation or full out war." So my question is if this guy is like an important Hamas guy How did he get to Iran? Did he hop in a jet at Gaza International? No, this is the guy who was living in Qatar. Oh! This is that guy... oh okay Well this had to be one of our missiles we didn't give Israel that stuff

2:56:57 I would have to assume it's one of our missiles who dreams up stuff like this. Well, Blinken is like no! He goes into the window... Yeah he's like we don't know about it no we don't know nothing yeah but it's like something you know you have to wonder how the technology works I mean and this was supposedly that you got an iPhone? We can kill ya! I think that might be part of it It could hone in on an iPhone signal, it could hone in on some bug that's planted in the room by an agent. An Apple Watch? One of those rings! One of those smart rings... But the thing finds it and then it just goes flying around and then they find it goes into the window which is what kills me more than anything else because he goes in there and blows up the guy's room

2:57:51 and leaves everything else there. It's like, what? It's the iPhone of death I think that you know it's...I didn't think about the iPhone but it's possible they have the guys phone number maybe they're calling him at the time Yes yeah had to pick up. Oh goodness! Here's part two of this... And given the tensions we are seeing in the region, whether that's in Gaza Lebanon even Turkey potentially weighing in what steps do you see as needed to make sure this doesn't become a regional war? There will be more regional chaos, there will be more murdered innocent civilians on all sides. Israeli Arab Iranian Western as long as the regime in Iran is still in power The Islamic Republic has spent 45 years

2:58:35 doing what it calls exporting the revolution. It seeks to undermine legitimate national governments in Arab countries around the world, we see right now the Islamic Republic trying to undermine the Saudi Arabian government, the Jordanian government, the Emirati government So many others have effectively taken control of the Iraqi government over the past several years. So as long as this regime is in power, there is no real path to peace. There is no better deal to be had with the regime in Iran." The only solution really lies in supporting the people of Iran who every day are facing the brunt of this evil and criminal regime and are fighting back against it. If they're successful in getting rid of Ali Khamenei, the puppet master of all this crime and terrorism then there's a real chance if not probability or guarantee at peace until that happens I don't see a path to peace in the Middle East

2:59:28 Yeah, alright. My analysis real quick This is the military industrial complex doing their own thing I don't think Blinken knew about it at all They're doing it they're making sure that we get something started here make it look real scary Trump may even have something to do with it this has Trump written all over by the way I could just see him coming out going We had a smart bomb It was so smart! It went- It was SO SMART IT WAS SO SMART It's like I got high IQ but this bomb...ahhh this is very smart You sound like Gorka. Yeah, same you know Trump also leaked out his peace plan for Ukraine where he says if I'm re-elected i'm going to cut off Ukraine aid to Ukraine but also I'm gonna impose sanctions on Russia that you've never seen before this is...I think this is playing out in the background the peacemaker is coming

Daddy Long Legs and Willie Brown Songs

The episode's closing music featured satirical songs about "Daddy Long Legs" Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's early political career in San Francisco with Willie Brown. The lyrics referenced the BMW and Corvette reportedly gifted to Harris and her rapid promotion within the California political system. The segment serves as a musical deconstruction of the current executive branch's public narratives.

3:17:36 This guy is... and you see real Joe Biden, or whatever standing next to Jill. You know he's uh she comes up a little above his shoulders and then this guy who we're just gonna call daddy long legs He's like he's a foot taller By the way I think that moniker is good because the thing that's most notable about him is he has really long legs! He's got legs He's taller than Joe Biden. He's got legs, it gives him much more height then.

3:18:14 Too tall for Joe I wonder who they're using He ain't that slow He hasn't started drooling Replacing old Joe With someone we don't know That don't look right He's got a mask made by the CIA. It's gotta last.

3:18:55 If Joey's passed away, baby you say aye. Deep fake conversation it's all a lie. Just fool or get more nation? Where are they hiding old Joey Biden? Looks like he's died And you know, so I'm talking to Tina about this.
