About this episode

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faces intense scrutiny following his selection as Kamala Harris's running mate, as media outlets like NPR and NBC coordinate a "cuddly" rebrand of his political persona. Discrepancies in Walz's National Guard retirement rank and his departure prior to an Iraq deployment have sparked "stolen valor" allegations from Jesse Watters and CNN fact-checkers. This selection, reportedly steered by Eric Holder and David Plouffe, signals a strategic pivot toward a folksy Midwestern aesthetic to mask controversial legislative records.

Global unrest intensifies as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer mobilizes a "standing army" of 6,000 specialist police to quell riots in Southport and beyond. The Director of Public Prosecutions has warned British citizens that retweeting inflammatory content may lead to prosecution under the Communications Act of 2003, while video surfaces of arrests for Facebook comments. Simultaneously, Hamas has named October 7th architect Yahya Sinwar as its new political leader, and Austrian authorities foiled an ISIS-linked terror plot targeting Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts, leading to three cancellations.

John Dvorak celebrates his 36th wedding anniversary with Mimi, sharing nostalgic tales of his son JC’s childhood roleplay as a French maître d' named Jacques. The Paris Olympics continue to draw fire for Seine pollution and reports of raw meat and worms in the athlete village's fish. Meanwhile, the "yen carry trade" collapse triggers global market volatility, threatening the massive capital expenditures of the AI infrastructure bubble led by Microsoft and Meta.

Tim Walz, Media Coverage, Cuddly Persona

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is analyzed following his selection as Kamala Harris's vice presidential running mate. Media outlets are criticized for using coordinated talking points, specifically the repetitive use of the word "cuddly" and "joyful" to describe his persona. The discussion highlights Walz's background as a teacher and football coach while questioning the authenticity of the "folksy" image presented by the press.

00:00 Yeah, yeah. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday August 8th 2024 this is your award winning Give Our Nation Media assassination episode 1684 This is no agenda Joyful and cuddly 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 for Northern Silicon Valley where we all congratulate Tampon Tim for getting the VP pick And here I thought we can probably get through the entire episode without that nickname. But no, you were sir! I am so wrong yes somehow i don't think Trump will use that one. I don't think he'll use it would be great if he did it'd be very funny but... He hasn't even used cackling Camelot which is odd. It's very odd yeah it's so obvious

01:04 Well, I guess to satisfy everybody we should start off with the outrage of the day. It's all that people can do on Twitter is talk about, oh the socialist he's no good! He's no good! Tim Walz who reminds me very much of uh...of that other Tim guy who was that? Who was uh...who was it? Kane, Tim Kaine. Isn't it basically the same guy? It looks like the same guy only this other guys got a fatter jaw Hey, that's called cuddly did you get the same super clip I did I have a super clip which is the Walls medley. Maybe similar. How long is yours? Well, that's good question mine is 135. You have 135? I have 135 yes

01:55 Oh, let's play it. Oh here we go. Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as running mate What does Walz bring to this? He's cuddly Cuddly Cuddly Cuddly I think she went for maybe a little more of a cuddly choice It tells more about like the texture of the man he seems to almost have a twinkle in his eye Tim Walz is the opposite of weird Tim Walz beats America You know a football coach. He's a hunter you could visit with at the hardware store and a dictionary yet weird and anti-weird You'd have Tim Walz his picture there I bet knows how to make good hot dish casserole very down to earth. This is authenticity Authentic communicator the word joy came up a lot he's joyful she seems happy happy go lucky a

02:56 the in the Democratic Party right now. Those outside of Pittsburgh loves Tim Walz, so talk about...Walz! He is cuddly and joyful! My clip has got the cuddly stuff but it's got a better punchline. Oh okay. It's shorter we can play this is just to show you how much

03:45 Crap the mainstream media puts out in support of the Democrat Party is it's an embarrassment All-american definition of a man from middle America high school teacher football coach He has this folksy personal and formal vibe that is really appealed to a lot of Democrats. He's kind of a folksy guy very friendly nice guy They're totally approachable. You get the feeling that he's got plenty of neighbors that wear MAGA hats and he picks up their paper, brings it to their front door and they're his friends. Walsh has an ability to be I know one person said cuddly but Tim Walsh is the opposite of weird or maybe a little more of a cuddly choice. Cuddley

04:25 This is going to be a mac and cheese in the hardware store. A grounded vice presidential candidate that's gonna make people smile? He seems to almost have a twinkle in his eye. He ice fishes, he's a hunter! He does butter carving. Wow if this guy becomes Vice President we get the Mac & Cheese life?! And he does butter carving. Living the Mac & Cheese Life! That is so pathetic. Well, I love it when they all pick up... well when they read the talking points memo, I presume and then here's what you could say about Tim he's cuddly he's joyful he's a you know etc etc It's I just hope that these super cuts that people realize that's what's going on We've been doing them for almost the entire length of the show

CHAPTER 02 / 61 Discussion

Elon Musk, X Platform, Media Irrelevance

Elon Musk's ownership of X is evaluated regarding its impact on traditional journalism and viral content. Claims are made that journalists have largely left the platform or stopped promoting content there, leading to a decrease in "trending on Twitter" references in mainstream news. The platform is described as transitioning into a financial resource for donations rather than a primary news hub.

elon musk· x· twitter· journalism· social media

05:19 I just hope that people see it, your media is nothing. Now by the same token your social media is also nothing! Have you noticed that ever since Elon purchased X. Elon! While you can say anything that you want, it's meaningless the journos all left or at least they don't promote anything anymore nothing goes viral that gets out into... no one is playing stuff from Twitter there are no longer people saying oh this is trending on Twitter its bad news for them No none of that It's now just a place to go and go blahblahblah

05:57 That's all that it is. It's meaningless I see you posting, think about it Elon Musk makes it free for everybody It's good You can say whatever you want How long would it last? I see you posting I repost mostly Yes Soon to be illegal So let's meet Tim Walz. I'm just doing it as long as it goes on, I think it's gonna end! It's going to turn into a financial resource. We'll be using it to collect donations. Let's meet... Now here's the problem

CHAPTER 03 / 61 Discussion

Tim Walz, Stolen Valor Allegations, Military Record

Tim Walz faces scrutiny over his military service record and claims of carrying weapons in combat. Analysis from Jesse Watters and CNN fact-checkers highlights discrepancies regarding Walz's retirement rank and his departure from the National Guard prior to his unit's deployment to Iraq. The discussion focuses on the legal and political implications of "stolen valor" in the context of the 2024 election.

tim walz· stolen valor· army national guard· iraq war· jesse watters

06:34 that he's run into. And I think this is a universal issue, doesn't play very well in America at all...I'm thinking Swift Boat with John Kerry and this is stolen valor which many are quick to point out to me as punishable by jail! It's a felony according to the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 So what we are learning about Tim is that he kind of waffles a bit and says, you know I carried a gun in combat. While he was in the Army Reserves for 24 years when his unit was to be deployed

07:17 for, I think it was... Was it Iraqi Freedom? Or was it...? Yeah the Iraqi War. He then said well you know I'm gonna run for governor or whatever Senate I think he was stationed in Italy for a while but when you say things like I don't care about the NRA I don't want guns like the one I carried in combat oops And this and they've been calling that I mean, i've seen none of it is playable as a clip But i've seen people go. I have I have a pretty decent rundown of this Oh, okay good i'm glad you and I hate to do it because now You you I did it then you did it now? I'm doing it which is the jesse waters analysis He's got yeah first of all, I want to make an excuse for jessie waters he has the prime time on fox so thus he has the best writers

08:10 He does, yes he does. So it's not a complete abomination to play his analysis As long as you cut him out Did you cut him out or did you left him in? No I left him in because the whole thing is that this package was very well done Okay...I usually just use the splits It's hard to cut him out to be honest about Now, exactly what I called this clip is another issue. I would say Jesse W on Walt's stolen valor that seems to be the right one. That sounds like it would be a yes please. The media has inflated this guy's resume like he inflated his own. Walt never went to war He never saw combat. He was never in a war zone but for years he's been claiming otherwise

08:55 I spent 25 years in the army and I haunt. We can do background checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure that we don't have reciprocal carry among states and we can make sure that those weapons of war that i carried in war is the only place where those weapons were at. Waltz never carried weapons in war he's lying And he has been giving reporters the impression that he's been a combat vet for years Bloomberg putting out a piece saying Waltz served quote in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Waltz never went to Iraq and Bloomberg had to retract it. Waltz put out a campaign press release claiming he was a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, claiming he served on the gun in Afghanistan. He never served in Afghanistan. Waltz told The Atlantic he just returned from fighting in the war on terrorism. Waltz never fought anywhere

09:39 He abandoned his unit, left his battalion hanging right before he was supposed to deploy to Iraq. I was like well for Pete's sake this guy quit and if i say im not going to do it what the hell kind of leadership is that? He was a congressman you know he bragged that he was a retired command sergeant major Im the highest ranking person ever in the house and all this lie that he was telling. And there's lots of public, you know lots of cards coming in the mail for him to be elected and they said right on her he is a retired command sergeant major just tooting his own horn just hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeants majors that went through all the process and put all the time in stolen valor is really what it is So when you get this from Fox It was kind of to-be expected but when it boils over and flows to CNN

10:30 You know you have an actual problem. And here's the fact-checking going on at CNN! Waltz did make a comment speaking to a group he has done it a couple of times where he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation as you know with your contact with the military I know from coming from a military family there is a difference between being in a combat area being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence that any time Governor Walz was in the position to be shot at, and some his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was so that is absolutely false when we said about gun rights out there

CHAPTER 04 / 61 Discussion

Democratic Strategy, Eric Holder, Obama Influence

The selection process for the Democratic VP slot is attributed to a committee led by Eric Holder, with suggestions of underlying influence from Barack Obama. Strategist David Plouffe's addition to the Harris campaign is noted as an attempt to professionalize operations. Speculation arises regarding whether the choice of Walz over other candidates like Josh Shapiro indicates internal party sabotage or strategic avoidance of controversial positions.

eric holder· barack obama· kamala harris· david plouffe· tina smith

11:15 So to trolls, Cotton Gin I see you. Who say who cares? The media always picks our winners and losers this actually matters we are media deconstructionists so you're listening to the wrong podcast if you don't care This is exactly Get off! get off that troll room! get out This is exactly what you don't want in the age of media picks your leaders or your representatives and it's so pathetic when you see Tina Smith who is the representative from Minnesota trying to do this. Well, here is Tim Walz who enlisted when he was 17 years old He served in the National Guard for 24 years and I'm not aware of any military service that J.D. Vance has ever served so let's just make a comparison there And what happened in the tragedy of the killing of George Floyd and then the unrest Yeah okay pardon me for that

12:17 When Jim Acosta is correcting you, you've really messed up as a Democrat. So that's for sure it is un-really unbelievable and not credible that this guy was not fact checked on this point and that makes no sense or they were in such a hurry to get just anybody in anybody but someone who would win because that's what it looks like Well, I will mention that this was supposedly put...this guy was picked and chosen and put in by Eric Holder.

12:53 who is the head of the choosing committee, one-man choosing committee. And he of course is connected to Obama and as I mentioned in the newsletter there was some thought that Obama is still irked about this whole thing that Kamala should not be the person in this position at all and he's sabotaging the campaign. Yeah! I'll buy that...I really will I mean it just, it's so odd that this would not be checked because there is video of veterans going to his office in like 10 years ago saying hey you know this is not cool what you're doing here. When he...I don't know if that was a senator or as governor? No he was a congressman Oh congressman! I'm sorry So either way its like pfff

13:44 And you know some of the media is just, well this is our guy let's pick up on anything we can. He's joyful! The whole campaign is joyful! Joyful is my favorite and I've heard that Plouffe is now on the campaign? Yes So he's the guy that makes all these... That makes all these campaign stops look like the real deal and he knows what he's doing. He was Obama's guy So they're doing a good job with that. They're packing them in! But even if you look at the YouTube numbers on the, which is Joe Biden's YouTube account of the stream of uh...of the announcement there's only like 50 000 views so you know something smells bad

CHAPTER 05 / 61 Discussion

Minnesota Policies, COVID Snitch Line, Trans Sanctuary

Governor Tim Walz's record in Minnesota is criticized, specifically his implementation of a "snitch line" for reporting COVID-19 mandate violations. Local reports describe his administration's legal actions against small business owners during lockdowns. Further discussion covers Walz's support for Minnesota as a "trans sanctuary" state and policies regarding gender reassignment surgeries for minors without parental consent.

minnesota· covid-19· lockdowns· trans rights· gender reassignment

14:31 But let's get to meet the candidate, the VP candidate. I have an Ask John! We don't have an Ask John jingle unfortunately... Ask John! Alright ask john alright john here we go this is an ask john question um let me just make sure we have the right one loaded up here but in minnesota just like in wisconsin we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make Even if even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves Because we know there's a golden rule now whenever I see Tim Walz walking around He's always putting his hair hands together in prayer emoji fashion like oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you musty Yes So what do you think? His gold and we've heard of the Golden Rule What is Tim Waltz's Golden Rule?

15:23 Think on your neighbors During Kovac that you might think you might be had a call in line So you could if you saw your neighbor walking the dog, you can call it in and have him arrested Well, that's that's the good neighbor policy of Tim wall. Well, well You'd think when he says golden rule? You think he would say yeah do unto others as you would have them do unto you That's even Rob Reiner knows. That's the golden rule But here is the golden rule of your potential future vice president. In Minnesota, just like in Wisconsin we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make even if we wouldn't make the same choices for ourselves because we know there's a golden rule mind your own damn business! There you go.

16:16 There's your new golden rule. Yeah, mine is your own damn business and if you see anybody walking their dog call our hotline! I got several notes from people in Minnesota. Minnesota by the way which is sued for sky colored waters supposed to be a beautiful state. Land of 10,000 lakes...I've been there numerous times First of all, says our producer Thomas don't believe the hype he's America's dad or Minnesota nice. He is the type that will have his administration send a lawsuit to a single mother of four wrapped in a bow right before Christmas for simply refusing to go along with this COVID lockdown! He is the type of good neighbor that sets up a snitch line for people to report those who are not following his mandates

17:03 He's the type of person that promotes having drag shows in our state capitol building. Oh, that's entertaining! He made Minnesota a trans sanctuary for those to be brought into the state and have their gender reassignment surgeries without the parents' consent He forces all schools to have tampons in the boys' restroom. So clearly Thomas from the free state of Minnesota is not very happy with Tim Walz. Now, a thing that I find very odd Is that the mainstream, M5M they are crediting him with coming up with the weird term. Yes this is a very common... Everybody says that yes and in fact I think even if you go to his wiki page you'll see that Well because Wikipedia is of course The Book Of Knowledge

CHAPTER 06 / 61 Discussion

Tim Walz, Weird Label, Name Recognition

Tim Walz is credited by mainstream media for coining the "weird" attack line against Donald Trump and JD Vance. NPR and NBC reports are analyzed for their focus on Walz's personality and messaging skills despite his initially low national name recognition. The "weird" meme is characterized as a calculated viral marketing strategy that helped Walz secure the VP nomination.

tim walz· jd vance· npr· name recognition· messaging

17:54 Well, it's a book of propaganda but it is beside the point. Let's see what NBC does here. This morning the new Democratic ticket is off and running Vice President Kamala Harris and her new running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz setting out on a swing state tour Why Walz? Sources tell NBC News the two had strong chemistry when they met last Sunday Harris sources say was swayed in part by Walz' biography Oh Swayed by his biography. Walls also repeating the now popular attack line that first got him attention among many Democrats These guys are creepy and yes, just weird as hell But according to a new poll 71% of Americans say they don't know or have an opinion on Walls So now the race is on from both sides to define him

18:40 That's also something that is not very well discussed at all on the mainstream, name recognition. This is always a thing they add in like you have to name recognition. No one was talking about Tim Walz except Kara Swisher who said he would be horrible pick but I'm sure by the time Pivot comes out on Friday he'll be great pick there's no doubt because she is the most wishy-washy of them all Here's NPR. Yeah, he is the one that coined the phrase weird or the viral meme weird in describing Donald Trump and JD Vance so tell us about Tim Walz who is he? Well, he's a Minnesota governor. He was born and raised in rural Nebraska is in his second term as Minnesota Governor. He's the head of the Democratic Governors Association so there's some thought that he has some ability to raise money bring some cash to the ticket as well. He's a veteran of the Army National Guard and you know we know he didn't really know Harris very well before these past couple weeks but impressed her and he does have these connections on Capitol Hill So he's also kind of a governing pick as well

19:42 And, you know really as noted him coining this phrase weird a lot of this is about messaging He's very good at it. Very good and he's really somebody who two weeks ago was not on the tips of people's lips for who could get this job But clearly, you know talked his way into it with that and with his personality talked his way into it with his personality Ah, this is dynamite. Well of course even we were convinced that it would not be Waltz I mean i still held on for a hopeful Wes Moore just to give Moe the benefit but that didn't happen and Shapiro was what everyone thought would be the pick and uh... that didn't happen here's CNN. I just think it was weird It turned out not to be as false a note as I thought it might be To do this rollout

20:33 in Shapiro's home state if you're not going to pick Shapiro. They could have done this rollout in Michigan, they could have done this roll out Wisconsin someplace where there wasn't one of the finalists wasn't from so it wouldn't seem like a you know in your face kind of move but also even second order or third-order issue. The fact that a lot of people, sometimes boosted by the Trump campaign we're now learning but a lot of people in the Democratic Party and on the very online left... This guy's dying! Jeez! ...singled out Shapiro because he is Jewish and they did single him out because it's Jewish He doesn't have any positions on Israel that are different from anyone else who is competing with or from Kamala Harris But that whole genocide Josh thing The fact that Walz seems like the safer pick

CHAPTER 07 / 61 Discussion

Josh Shapiro, School Vouchers, Teachers Unions

The decision to pass over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for the VP slot is attributed to his support for school vouchers, which reportedly alienated powerful teachers' unions. Shapiro's speaking style is compared to Barack Obama's cadence. The analysis suggests that union pressure was a primary factor in the Harris campaign's final selection.

josh shapiro· school vouchers· teachers unions· pennsylvania· barack obama

21:19 than Shapiro tells you something about the problems running through the Democratic Party. I mean, this has to be sabotaged there's just... This guy has so much nasty garbage hanging off of him it's crazy! Well i think that there is an element of that but I do have some comment about the Shapiro non-pick because he was lined up that's what they were going to do in Pennsylvania Yes And I was totally convinced it was gonna be Shapiro but what when it turns out and this has not been discussed except Very obscurely, and you'll never find it. Shapiro is for school vouchers and the teachers union basically put their foot down so you're not picking this guy Oh I believe that yeah of course that's not discussed Why why bring any information to the people? That would be wrong

22:08 Yeah, and they're pretty powerful that lady who screams and yells what's her name? Oh from to both the groups have ladies that scream you see the California or the NT at National Teachers Association in the other one. They both have screamers now The thing is the Shapiro did speak at the event And I have to say they can see why they call him the Jewish Obama He has the same cadence. He does it's the same structure he does the one two three four five Repeating himself in a certain kind of a way that very Obama esque Obviously, this is speaking coach that teaches this and he's really good But now he's out well so here Here's some more some some of the nasty dirt by the way you can't be too happy

CHAPTER 08 / 61 Discussion

Minnesota COVID Fraud, Feeding Our Future

A massive COVID-19 relief fraud scheme in Minnesota involving the "Feeding Our Future" program is discussed. Federal charges against 70 individuals for embezzling $250 million are highlighted, with critics questioning Governor Walz's oversight of the state agencies responsible for distributing the funds.

minnesota· covid fraud· feeding our future· department of education· embezzlement

22:58 He's joyful, he is not happy. He is joyful. There is a big difference. Big difference! He can't be too joyful I don't think he is joyful Here is another thing that is the problem for him Alex critics are also blasting Tim Walz for saying they are saying that he failed to prevent a massive COVID-19 fraud scheme That ensnared the state of Minnesota The Minnesota government What is the latest on that? Well, Diane was interesting. This is one of the largest covid era fraud cases that we know of thus far federal charges filed against some 70 individuals basically saying that they took advantage of two different covid air relief programs to the tune about $250 million now it's important to note that Governor Walz

23:44 to of the doling out, the disbursement of these funds. Isn't this guy trying to dance around it? He did say that... I don't know why this guy can't just get it blurted out is he a professional? Oh yeah gets worse! They could do better and that any responsibility in that falls at his feet but again this is something that he has not been wrapped up in and he's not charged or faces any charges

Transgender Advocacy, Six-Year-Old Activist, Minnesota AG

A report on a six-year-old transgender child participating in political advocacy at the Minnesota State Capitol is critiqued. Statements from the Minnesota Attorney General regarding "life-affirming healthcare" and the duty of adults to believe children's self-identified gender are analyzed. The discussion frames these events as a result of societal trauma and ideological shifts.

transgender· minnesota· keith ellison· gender identity· child advocacy

24:24 Stemming from this case. No, it's dirt and it's not good for him! Now he does have the trans kids... This was an unbelievable report because he... I sound like a mainstream guy. He, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Because he Because he turned his state into a sanctuary state for kids who want to have transgender surgery without their parents' permission. Not a very popular thing, I don't think anywhere anymore and listen to this child abuse Also standing in that sea of people A parent Transparent about his family My partner Gretchen Oh! I love transparent You're transparent You're a transparent You're so transparent you're transparent Parent Transparent

25:12 about his family. The kid, I think is this the six-year old? Yeah yeah. This is so pathetic about his family My partner Gretchen and I are here today because we are parents of a trans child Their child is 6 years old and she was as excited to be at a boring Capitol on spring break as any six year old kid could be

25:49 squirming and fidgeting her way through speeches hardly aware of her existence as why her parents drove five hours today to speak publicly. This is a great setup, hardly aware for existence but she knows she's trans! Speak publicly It's 100% personal I mean the safety the happiness our child is it couldn't be more personal Asher, why are we here today? For trans rights. For her rights to be her. This breaks my heart! They've psyoped this kid into believing the kid is trans and I'm here for trans rights... Six years old. Freedom! Six years old. It's heartbreaking what these people are doing

26:41 Well here, I want to play just this is the Minnesota Attorney General. This is the clip which kind of has a little background on this whole thing they're really trans nuts up there in Minnesota's MNAG. Because let's be clear this is life-affirming and life saving health care When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. Please clap That's what it means to be a good parent Well John you and I are both parents And by the way may I congratulate... Oh no and we're again and I love the term grown ups oh yeah that was she 12? Yeah

John Dvorak, 36th Anniversary, Childhood Roleplay

John Dvorak celebrates his 36th wedding anniversary with his wife, Mimi. The conversation shifts to an anecdote about Dvorak's son, JC, who as a child adopted various personas including a robot and a French maître d' named Jacques. This story is used to contrast natural childhood imagination with modern discussions on gender identity.

john dvorak· mimi dvorak· anniversary· childhood· roleplay

27:35 I would like to congratulate you on 40 years of matrimony and they never had a fight. I thought it was 40 36 Oh, yeah No, it's for yes 3636 as did Mimi came down to celebrate she's on her way She's on our way clear the decks she's on our way what are you guys doing tonight?

Yeah a wheat thing ever since the COVID which really cracked them It's very difficult to eat at any restaurants without her getting sick So you're cooking for her? I can cook better in most places anyway. I know you can so what are you cooking

28:27 I've kind of fallen back into cooking filet mignon roast. Mac and cheese? Mac and cheese! Happy anniversary, babe! Cheap cheddar! Happy anniversary! That's good man, I'm happy for you guys 36 years that's nothing to joke about It's nothing to sneeze at so uh... Back to this woman Kids at six don't know crap. I mean, what do you kids are going to tell you what they what they are? JC when he was I think this is a good story. JC was three characters besides being himself a little kid about 6 7 8 years old yes He was also a robot Yes and my favorite Jacques the Mater D

29:22 Which I'm sure you took advantage of just like he was trans. Oh yeah, when he was Jacques the Mater D and he was roaming around with a napkin over his forearm... Go get me this from the kitchen Jacques! He would go do all kinds of errands but he also was a robot. He was also a third character which i think was a cat I never heard about the cat, but yeah. Yeah, I can't remember the third character because it wasn't as strong a character as jock and the robot But this is what are we supposed to do at that point? Oh he's a he's a reason He's a maitre d let's make him a mater you if wanted to be a girl for five minutes We're gonna Do I mean this is ridiculous kids do this stuff And you know you take it to a point You don't take it so seriously that you chop their nuts off

No you don't but in today's world you know remember we're all still incredibly traumatized by COVID so people are still strange We have to keep remembering this stuff happened during COVID that made and remember my hair girl And she says that there's a very high correlation between people who were wearing masks in their car by themselves for three years, who also have trans kids. It's part of the same trauma that has been just been injected into them. It is like MKUltra! I really think it's related

CHAPTER 12 / 61 Discussion

White Dudes for Harris, Socialism vs Neighborliness

Tim Walz's appearance on a "White Dudes for Harris" fundraising call is deconstructed. The discussion focuses on Walz's claim that "one person's socialism is another person's neighborliness" and his criticisms of Project 2025 and Trump's stance on NATO. The hosts argue that Walz is misrepresenting conservative positions on climate change and insulin prices.

tim walz· white dudes for harris· socialism· nato· project 2025

32:40 But Tim Walz was on the white dudes for Harris, the crackers for Kamala Kahl. And I have to say that I like this guy for one reason... He's highly editable! He speaks in bursts and there's enough pause, you can slap stuff together. So I took his four minutes and broke it down to one with the punchline at the end. I'm going to echo that message of hope. My oldest daughter's name is Hope because my wife and I spent seven years trying to get pregnant needed fertility treatments things like IVF things that they would ban. And so once again, I keep talking about this idea you're right these guys are the anti freedoms i grew up in a small town 400 people 24 kids in the class 12 cousins and I hear JD Vance trying to talk about what a small town is there's one golden rule in a small town those of you on her from a small town mind your own damn business we don't need it I don't know who's asking for this crazy stuff that they're pushing who's asking to ban birth control no one

33:41 No one! He's full of crap, he's a liar this guy. No one is asking for that Who's asking to raise the price of insulin? NO ONE! No one is asking for that! I'm a Legion Club member and none of the dudes there are- What's The Legion Club? I have no idea... American Legion? American Legion They said Legion Club I think he shortened it but its gotta be the American Legion, it's for veterans I'm a Legion Club member and none of the dudes there are asking to cut veterans benefits like Project 2025 does. Oh, really? So look we need to point out... He's a big look guy by the way he's really good at the look. Look! We need to point out this is the reason rural America hurts is because robber barons like these guys have come in there they undermine the basic social safety net that makes this country great so this is preaching to the choir but the choir needs to sing.

34:38 This guy is as good as Kamala. I like that! This is preaching to the choir, but the choir's gotta sing! We're not in this alone The rest of the world needs us to be here These guys throwing our NATO... We're not in this alone The rest of the world needs us to be here This guy is good! This is preaching to the choir But the choir needs to sing We're not in this alone The rest of the world needs us to be here These guys throwing our NATO allies under the bus The idea that they don't care what happens in the rest of the world This is completely not true. He's basing this on Trump saying if they don't pay, we're not going to protect so it's not the same as throwing your NATO allies under the bus. Not addressing climate change that's going to impact communities that are less fortunate than anyone else? That's also not true! They are addressing climate change.

35:27 They just don't believe in the hoax, but they are addressing it. Not addressing climate change that's going to impact communities that are less fortunate than anyone else? Those are the things it has to do! We have communities that are gonna pay the price because we don't address it and for one thing Don't ever shy away from our progressive values One person socialism is another person's neighborliness Just DO THE DAMN WORK Yeah and THAT'S what's gonna tank him forever He's basically saying one person's no he's literally saying one person socialism is the other person's neighborliness No, socialism is socialism and if you don't understand the distinction then just your dumb

CHAPTER 13 / 61 Discussion

Tim Walz, Trump Criticism, Campaign Rhetoric

Tim Walz's campaign rhetoric against Donald Trump is examined, specifically his claims that Trump "froze" during the COVID-19 crisis and drove the economy into the ground. The hosts analyze Walz's delivery style and the accuracy of his statements regarding violent crime rates during the Trump administration.

tim walz· donald trump· campaign speech· covid-19· crime rates

36:05 So I have some, I have some Walsh stuff too. But I want to stick with the Zoom calls for a minute Oh okay stay with the zoom call but I haven't at this at the rollout when he was introduced Well i was moving on all right we'll do your uh... We'll come back to the zoom calls after your Walsh stuff Okay so he comes out and lies about-I have two clips First he lies about Trump Which he's bound to do. Sorry Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us First of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service He doesn't have time for it because he's too busy serving himself again and again and again Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand He's not doing very well at that gambit is he?

36:58 Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand. He mocks our laws, he sows chaos and division and that's to say nothing of his record as president! He froze in the face of the COVID crisis. He drove our economy into the ground... And make no mistake violent crime was up under Donald Trump That's not even counting the crimes HE committed! Do you think he writes that himself? I think he does. That's not bad At this point, I think he does. Eventually maybe he is going to bring in some pros but because i've listened enough of him He has a pretty good style It's kind of switcheroo punchline style that yeah it just natural to him He's an asshole John you sound like twitter

CHAPTER 14 / 61 Discussion

JD Vance, Air Force Two, Kooky Detectives

JD Vance's campaign tactics, including approaching Kamala Harris's plane on a tarmac to speak with the press, are discussed. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn to the 1950s TV show "77 Sunset Strip" and the character "Kookie" Burns, leading to a preference for the word "kooky" over "weird."

jd vance· air force two· tim walz· 77 sunset strip· kooky

37:59 Yes, I do. I've been on Twitter! This is him now he goes up against... He starts condemning Vance. Oh okay. Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new running mate and governs- Well this is Wallace versus Vance? Is that the clip you want? Uh, Walsh vs. Oh oh okay yeah you can play that but I thought i had a different clip Well should I not play this and go back to the Zoom call No you might as well play it to get out of the way Okay Vice President Kamala Harris takes her new running mate Governor Tim Walz to the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan But Trump's VP pick Senator J.D Vance shows up in the same exact cities To ramp up his counter messaging NDT's White House correspondent Iris Tao has more

38:44 In their first full day as running mates, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz campaigning in Wisconsin and later in Michigan. And in 90 days the nation will know Coach Walz by a new title... Vice President! Walz who's just tapped as Harris' VP pick the day before continues to highlight his background as a veteran For 24 years I proudly wore the uniform of this nation Former President Trump's running mate, Senator J.D. Vance travels to the same exact cities where Harrison walls are campaigning vans criticizing what he calls open border policies and I heard just earlier about a criminal who was deported from this community who came back in and then raped an 11 year old girl and responding to the attack line taking the high road huh calling him weird look i've got my wife here i've got three beautiful kids at home i'm a normal guy

39:38 who wants to live the American dream and wants all of you and your kids to be able to live the American dream. If those people want to call me weird, I think it's a badge of honor." Earlier today Vance landed in Wisconsin just minutes after Harris touched down at the same airport. Vance walked to Air Force Two then told reporters... The Harris campaign on Wednesday said... He said, I just want to check out my future plane and I figured you of the press will be lonely because she never stops to talk to you. That's what he said. Then told reporters, I just wanted to check out my future plane. The Harris campaign on Wednesday said it had raised $36 million since announcing Walls as the VP pick according to a new memo the campaign will focus on the so-called blue wall states like Pennsylvania Wisconsin and Michigan and use walls as a key asset in appealing to rural voters

40:32 I think a better...I'm sorry? I was gonna just say make two comments about it. Yes First of all, Wal said in that one speech where he talked about carrying arms in combat which he never did He said he was in the army. He never was in the army He said he was in the Army? The National Guard is not the army. It's different for sure. It's totally different, it's like if you're in the Coast Guard and you were in the army... No! The other thing is this coach thing which really bugs me when it doesn't come up as much as it should supposedly was the coach of the football team and the football team went from winless one year to the state championship. He was not the coach of that football team. He was the linebacker coach

41:20 A linebacker coach for a high school football team is probably just one step above Waterboy. Hello? So that's another example of this exaggeration. Fact check false, everybody! Come on! Fact check false... Take it from JCD. Yeah that's good by the way I think a better word is kooky Those guys are that's like kooky. That's a good we haven't heard since the days of 77 Sunset Strip, and that's all your old-timers out there What was 77 Sunset Strip? It was a black and white late 50s early 60's I think TV show about detectives, and there was this guy Ed Kuki Burns who is actually also a singer. Oh great! And Kuki was a very popular term in that era Well i'm bringing it back...Kuki. I think kuki is cool

CHAPTER 15 / 61 Discussion

Comics for Kamala, Ben Stiller, Celebrity Activism

The "Comics for Kamala" Zoom call is reviewed, featuring celebrities like Ben Stiller, Kathy Griffin, and Mark Hamill. Ben Stiller's comments about wishing he were Black and the "wave of energy" for Harris are mocked. The hosts highlight the low viewership numbers for the event despite the high-profile participants.

ben stiller· kathy griffin· mark hamill· kamala harris· fundraising

42:21 So anyway, so I watched the Zoom calls. But just love this concept because it's so dumb We had the comics for Kamala Yeah! I sent a link to Joe Rogan and I say what is this? He says it's Cucks for Kamala Ah okay got it It was organized by Eric Swalwell. The only thing that was actually kind of funny was Jon Hamm came in at the beginning, who is arguably one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and the host from The Daily Show Paul Mercurio another funny guy he did like oh Jon Hamm you're on the wrong call and just cut him off that was kinda funny so then we had in order of appearance

43:13 Swalwell, the funniest guy in California. Donnie, Kathy Griffin, Sia John Pritzker another comic Adam Pally Representative Maxwell Frost Nick Offerman actually have a clip of his if you want to hear it Tiffany Haddish she twerked but this was really hilarious Mark Hamill came back And at this point, there's only 23,000 people at 39 minutes in who have watched this thing. Lake Bell John Stamos and Matt Friend and Matt Friend did a Howard he did a decent Howard Stern impersonation that was kind of funny but it wasn't like hilarious Michigan State Senator Mallory McMurrow then Rosie O'Donnell who was just moaning about her VRBO Ed Helms Phoebe Robinson Kathy Griffith came back in again

44:07 Lisa Ann Walter and Tom Arnold, that was cringy. Kevin Nealon? RIP Kevin Nealon! Jared Moskowitz he's from Florida and George Wallace... By 90 minutes there are less than 21 thousand people watching this fabulous zoom call And here is the example of the comedy The comedic stylings here of Ben Stiller on Cucks for Kamala. I just want to let you know, I'm going to match your $150,000 donation. Everybody's gotta get out and vote and donate. And she is also a historic candidate. It is gonna be the first woman president. That's incredibly exciting! She's Indian, she's black, she's everything You can be more than one thing it's incredible. I am Jewish & Irish

44:57 I wish i was black. Every white Jewish guy wishes he was black." You know, it's just get out there and vote and donate and like take advantage this is such an important time right now in this wave of energy that's happening we gotta keep going with us so please do everything you can. Wave of hilarious energy! I've got to play some of this parody that Nick Offerman did Before you do that, I contacted Mo Fax and I also talked to Horowitz about this. Every white Jew wants to be black! And what did you learn?

CHAPTER 16 / 61 Discussion

Nick Offerman, Parody Song, Political Humor

Actor Nick Offerman's parody of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" is played and critiqued. The song, performed for a Democratic fundraiser, mocks Donald Trump's legal issues and supporters. The hosts express disdain for the quality of humor and the use of profanity in the performance.

nick offerman· lee greenwood· kamala harris· parody· political satire

45:38 I learned that actually Moe had an interesting take because he said that a lot of young white Jews are into hip-hop and they kind of want to be black in a certain kind of a hip hop way. But they ain't like us, see Drake? And yes, Horowitz was just like shaking you can just hear him shaking his head on it He hung up didn't he went...I'm not listening to this It was DM So Nick Offerman, do you know Nick Offerman? I've never seen this guy. He's got sideburns like that Andy Enochto and he did his... You just tell me when you want to stop maybe after one verse she'll be done. He did a parody of Lee Greene's I'm Proud To Be An American which is Trump's signature song

46:37 When he mocked the disabled and war heroes I looked the other way He said to march on the Capitol Well if the president says it's okay And I don't mind sex with porn stars, I'd do it too If I had the guts But when it comes to fucking the furniture Well that's just fucking not So I'm proud to be a Kamala man who has quit the GOP. Cuz I just can't abide a man who's tried the 34 felonies and it's time to stand up and face the fact that the men that i once cheered are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists

47:31 I'm gonna have to stop it here. I mean this, it... This is so... I mean, I pray please don't make Kamala Harris president because this is the level of humor we'll have to endure. It'll be horrible and it's even... A lot of cussing. Oh a lot of cussing! And then just trying in hopefulness by the mainstream media with that I mean Morning Joe. Fans of Saturday Night Live have a new role in mind for actor

CHAPTER 17 / 61 Discussion

FEC Filings, Campaign Finance, Steve Martin

Discrepancies in Kamala Harris's FEC Form 2 filings are discussed, noting that she used Joe Biden's candidate ID number. The financial implications of the $310 million campaign hoard are explored, suggesting that the funds can be managed by consultants regardless of the election outcome. Additionally, Steve Martin's refusal to play Tim Walz on Saturday Night Live is mentioned.

fec· campaign finance· kamala harris· joe biden· steve martin

48:09 Steve Martin, they want him to play the Democrats vice presidential nominee Tim Walz in the upcoming season. It's already confirmed that Maya Rudolph is returning this fall to portray Kamala Harris She won an Emmy for the role back in 2020 too good I do think that could work Oh, yeah, because you guys clearly clearly are the party of humor It's amazing. Yeah, well he rejected the idea of course he did so there was a very interesting post on X from a woman named Laura Powell and it's about the money

48:50 And so Kamala Harris filed an updated statement of candidacy, which is known as Form 2 to designate Tim Walz as her running mate. But there's some things that have happened here. She used Biden's personal candidate ID number instead of her own and the Federal Election Committee records are confusing at this point. Her newly filed form 2 shows up on Biden's personal FEC page, but if you look at the 2024 election cycle, Biden is just erased and replaced with Harris as if he was never running for president in the first place so she has his whole rundown and at a certain point The 2324 FEC record for Biden for President aka Harris for President Is linked to two presidential candidates both are named Kamala Harris

49:38 So, the synopsis of this and the whole rundown is in the show notes. It's a win-win for the Democrat elites either way if she somehow wins then all of the money which you know we know is coming from very small sources but split up through Act Blue we have some proof for that keeps flowing to all of them connected through their consulting firms. Small number but big numbers from big bucks, probably overseas China If she wins then all the money goes back to everyone who donated in favors that's how it works if she loses then this 310 million dollars they have

50:24 which includes the campaign cash, the original Biden for president hoard. They can then dole out to themselves over time however they wish and they don't have to deal with Biden anymore so they just get to keep all of the money I mean i dont really understand it but that's why put on the show notes everybody can look at it Yeah...I'd like to understand it better yeah..i mean its boring for me just read it to you so thats why im not gonna do it Biden has got to get some vig out of that Well, you know Trump is out there saying that Biden is so... maybe do I have a clip of that? Let me see. I think I may have a clip let me see if this is it Generally we don't bother to read the former president Donald Trump's deranged posts on social media Deranged post! But this time its groovy

CHAPTER 18 / 61 Discussion

Donald Trump, Joe Biden, DNC Coup Theory

Donald Trump's social media posts regarding a "coup" against Joe Biden are analyzed. The hosts discuss the theory that Biden was set up to fail the first debate by Democratic elites, including Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, to force him out of the race before the convention.

donald trump· joe biden· dnc· barack obama· coup

51:19 But this one is so unstable and so unhinged, it's important that Americans maybe know just how imbalanced the Republican nominee is. So here goes Trump writes in full quote This is the most radical left duo in American history there has never been anything like it and there never will be again crazy Kamablah is indeed crazy. I hear there is a big movement to bring back Crooked Joe, what are the chances that crooked Joe Biden the worst president in the history of the US whose presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from him by Kamablah Barack Hussein Obama Crazy Nancy Pelosi Shifty Adam Schiff Cryin Chuck Schumer and

52:08 Others on the lunatic left crashes the Democratic National Convention and tries to take back the nomination beginning with challenging me, to another debate. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, a coup to people in the world he most hates and wants it back now! Now that's not crazy I like that post Can you imagine Biden starting off the DNC by saying, I got robbed! I got hairy legs. He hasn't got the guts to do that but it's a funny idea because there is some thought that for example this came up in one of these shows on TV The idea that Biden was put into the position long before the convention to do the debate

52:59 knowing he was going to fail so they could get rid of him. It was all part of a grand scheme, maybe orchestrated by Obama because he wanted to get back in some sort of power position And so the idea was to bring Biden out to debate Trump and don't jack him up. Because where was Jacked Up Joe? Because we expected him to be like he was at the State of the Union, where he's all yelling and screaming and all jacked-up! He wasn't even close to that they may have even given them a set... you know some sort of a donor. Barbiturate. for all you know. Here's your shot Joe, huh? And the idea was so he would have an epic fail so they could get rid of him even though it took a little while before he took the hint So it's all within the realm of possibility Well we'll see He has been jobbed is the theory and Trump was suckered because if they let this thing go and that had to debate until after the convention Yeah Trump totally got suckered into that

54:04 Well, and also look I mean to say no. I won't debate you before the convention It would have been a whole mess. I can see his thinking but yeah they that was a check You know not checkmate but check They make sense if you think about that even with that theory in mind 40 just think about the way this CNN The two stooges at CNN who are Trump haters both of them at some point? I think called Trump Hitler They were so neutral about the whole thing and they just did a do any fact-checking. Nothing They just let the thing go it all go Oh what you mean? The media's in on it. Oh, no. No don't say it Here's a just a quick clip from O'Keefe Media OMG O'Keefe Media Group

CHAPTER 19 / 61 Discussion

O'Keefe Media Group, ActBlue, Donation Laundering

An investigation by O'Keefe Media Group into ActBlue is detailed, featuring a woman whose name was used for dozens of unauthorized donations to Bernie Sanders. The segment explores allegations of "smurfing" or money laundering through small-dollar donations using the identities of senior citizens.

james o'keefe· actblue· fec· money laundering· bernie sanders

54:45 Proving back proving how this act blue scam works. It's it's quite simple actually hello everyone I'm sitting here with my mother and I decided to take a look at the election watch to see if my mother's name was safe and secure But her name being used for contributions, and we found out that she was being her name is being used over 30 times from Bernie Sanders contributions. Mom, did you make any contributions to Bernie Sanders? Absolutely not! Angie Jones from Indiana submitted a video of her mother Alberta Jones who goes by Mrs. Robert Jones saying she did not donate to Act Blue or a Bernie Sanders pack as the FEC record show from 2019-2024 So your positive you didn't make any

55:28 I'm very positive. I have bank records that show where my contributions went Great, so you would turn those records over to me to prove that you didn't make these contributions? Yes indeed Alberta Jones gave O'Keefe Media her consent to show these bank records proving during the time period of 2019 no donations were given to Act Blue at all How does it make you feel that your name was used I feel violated. And by the way, the Go Red or whatever Jared Kushner's running...I'm sure they do the same thing! It would be crazy to think they don't. It's money laundering Yes well and but we know that the Chai comms are doing that with Obama with a credit cards this is an old old scam of course it has there's been nothing to stop it no are you crazy

CHAPTER 20 / 61 Discussion

Kamala Harris, Palestine Hecklers, Detroit Rally

Kamala Harris's reaction to pro-Palestine protesters at a Detroit rally is examined. The protesters chanted about Gaza, leading Harris to respond with, "If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that." The hosts compare her handling of hecklers to Barack Obama's past experiences.

kamala harris· palestine· hecklers· detroit· gaza

56:20 No, we're not going to do that. Everybody loves money! I have only one more clip and then want to move off of Kamala and Waltz because i'm very tired of it And it's all anyone seems to be talking about But this is very weak This shows an incredible weakness by the vice president when she is heckled by some pro-Palestine protesters during her speech She, like Obama I will say although the media mainly cut most of his protest...his heckling out we demonstrated that throughout the years. It would never air sometimes it went on for minutes yeah no no no no no no no no no no like that? You're in my house you take a drink from me! Wait where is this? We have that clip somewhere don't we? Yeah but your in my house. Your in my house let me see

57:20 That's interesting. Drinking my booze! You're in my house, Obama in my house here it is. Hey listen hey you're at my house Shame on ya! You shouldn't be doing this. We have a lot of jingles with that... Uh, I think the Batman is even funnier Here we go Hey! Oh no no no no No, no, no, no I've told you that you're in my house If you're eating the hors d'oeuvres and drinking the booze We'll have to take you out To the Batmobile Let's Go! Let's GO! Let's G-G-Go! Hey!

58:00 Anyway, Kamala not as funny but she cannot handle hecklers. He intends to surrender our fight against the climate crisis and he intends to end the Affordable Care Act. You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that otherwise I'm speaking So if you want Donald Trump to win say that otherwise I am speaking! I have the microphone

58:46 What were they saying? They were saying, hey hey hey ho Kamala you're a hoe. Do they work no no they were saying well you know what's the chant is we see what you did it was basically telling her that she doesn't care about Palestine That's what, that's what is very typical. Well this is going to be a great convention! It should be fun you know but now that we've all seen that she can't handle hecklers without going all schoolmarm on it I'm pretty sure that there will be all kinds of people in the crowd now. That's what I would do, you know what I mean?

CHAPTER 21 / 61 Discussion

UK Riots, Keir Starmer, Standing Army

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's response to widespread riots in the UK is analyzed. Starmer's announcement of a "standing army" of 6,000 specialist police officers and the fast-tracking of criminal justice for rioters is discussed. The unrest, sparked by a stabbing in Southport, is framed by the government as "mindless thuggery" fueled by online disinformation.

united kingdom· keir starmer· riots· southport· standing army

59:31 Yeah, she doesn't have any heckler skills because she just hasn't had to deal with them. Okay I want to move to what i'm going to start calling the social media wars because that's what it's turning into and we need to switch over to the United Kingdom where it's unbelievable... well to Americans is unbelievable what is taking place with these riots, which depending on where you stand are anti-immigration riots or far right hooligans. More race riots. Race riots that's another good one and this is quite the challenge for the new government and if you recall they had a meeting now that's where we left everything

1:00:25 And here is the Prime Minister after the meeting, which they were going to have. They're going to have a big meeting and this came out of the big meeting. This morning which was an opportunity that I took to thank the police for their work over the last few days To express my support for the police officers who have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery There are a number of actions that came out of the meeting. The first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public duty officers so that we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. The second is we'll ramp up criminal justice

1:01:09 already been hundreds of arrests, some have appeared in court this morning. I've asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process who will feel the full force of the law and thirdly I've been absolutely clear that criminal law applies online as well as offline and I'm assured that's the approach being taken whatever the apparent motivation this is not protest It is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities. So the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities In relation to the police, I'm absolutely clear that we will have the officers we need where we need them to deal with this disorder and that is why the standing army has been set up

1:02:06 specialist officers ready to be deployed to support communities. On the question of prisons, firstly we're monitoring it on a daily basis I'm appalled that we've been put in this position by the previous government, that it's even a discussion. It's even a question you have to ask me but we will make this work and ensure that we got places needed to bring perpetrators swiftly to justice so on both those fronts i am confident that we can absolutely make sure those engaged in this activity do feel full force of the law So, there's a couple of things that really stand out here. One is the term standing army you know this is what we would call violation of habeas corpus

1:02:51 In the United States, we have constitutional laws against deploying army and even calling it a standing army is quite severe. And they have indeed been deployed." In Plymouth on the southwest coast of England six people were arrested and several officers injured by projectiles and fireworks launched by far-right crowds Police are warning that anyone participating in the riots will face prison time. We feel as community members deeply affronted by this completely unnecessary violent disorder, a conviction for violent disorder usually carries a hefty term of imprisonment

1:03:30 Prime Minister Keir Starmer says a standing army of 6,000 specialist officers has been put on duty to confront the unrest. Officials say much of it has been instigated by disinformation and hate speech being spread online. It's spread out across telegram channels many of which were actually created in the aftermath of COVID-19 where you saw anti lockdown movements mobilizing and have really been repurposed in recent years in particular to target migrants The riots broke out last Tuesday in the town of Southport near Liverpool after internet users falsely blamed a mass stabbing attack that killed three young girls on a Muslim asylum seeker. Breaking protocol in a bid to counter the misinformation, A British court identified the arrested suspect as a 17 year old citizen born in the UK to Christian parents from Rwanda So you see the move is being made here's very very clear

CHAPTER 22 / 61 Discussion

UK Online Speech, Social Media Scouring, Facebook Arrests

The UK government's crackdown on social media posts related to the riots is detailed. The Director of Public Prosecutions warns that retweeting "inflammatory" content can lead to prosecution for inciting racial hatred. Video footage of a British citizen being arrested at his home for Facebook comments is discussed as evidence of the new enforcement strategy.

united kingdom· free speech· facebook· incitement· arrests

1:04:26 The move is, you know they're targeting immigrants on social media. Oh no! Oh no they're hurting their feelings on social media oh no this is a very deliberate act that is taking place here this is the UK director of public The offence of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to all likely to start racial hatred. So if you retweet that then your republishing that and then potentially your committing that offense and we do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media their job is to look for this material

1:05:13 and then follow up with identification arrests and so forth. So it's a really, really serious... people might think they're not doing anything harmful They are! And the consequences will be visited upon them. So I mean it's mind-boggling but they are taking what's happening on the streets you know, fighting and throwing stuff and burning stuff and rioting. They're now just completely focused on online-online-online-online And if you say something hateful or something that hurts somebody's feelings and they complain about it, you will get arrested. This is a Brit who got arrested for posting comment on Facebook. The Times 231440 arresting you on suspicion of improper use of the electronic communications network.

1:06:05 127 Communications Act, okay? So you do not have to say that it may harm your defence. You don't mention one question, second or third, or I in court anything you do say may be given evidence Do you understand that? So i'm actually being arrested? You're going to be arrested, okay? Right... So you've got to the police station, right, this is in relation to some comments that you made on a Facebook page Oh, a reality of Facebook crime is it? Okay. So we need to ask you some questions about that. You said I was going to be arrested under some what information... I'm gonna be arrested for posting on Facebook? We've had reports that you've made some comments

CHAPTER 23 / 61 Discussion

UK Communications Act, Black Belt Barrister, Retweets

Legal analysis from the "Black Belt Barrister" explains how the UK Communications Act of 2003 applies to sharing riot-related content. The law prohibits electronic communications that are "grossly offensive" or cause "needless anxiety." The hosts emphasize that "retweets are not endorsements" is not a valid legal defense in the UK.

united kingdom· communications act 2003· black belt barrister· defamation· social media

1:06:47 Okay, so you just get arrested they come to your house. They arrest you and Now for some insight on this, on what you can and cannot post we turn to the Black Belt Barrister who is very famous in the UK. He's a YouTuber and he has a little rundown of the issues here which is all based the UK Communications Law of 2003. Can you be prosecuted for just sharing content of these riots online? I've been tagged a number of times now in response to the Sky News article regarding the Director Public Prosecutions about sharing contents of these riots, so let's take a little bit of a look at that in follow-up to my previous videos if it were just a recording of the overall event

1:07:46 and it wasn't one specific on one side or another. Now that's difficult these days because some of these are very much one-sided, then if it were just a general video of the overall circumstances then that is less likely to be stirring up any kind of hatred but if it was a very specific video with specific wording which is deliberately intended within that video to stir up hatred in the first place and you're sharing it, and it is likely to stir up that hatred in the same way. Then by redistributing republishing you might well be committing that offence just as in a defamation case if you republish statement there was originally defamatory you are republishing a defamatory statement you can then be liable for that defamatory statements yourself

1:08:31 So this very much is an offence and there are well several offenses because under the section, the use of words or behavior written material or publishing your distributing written material Or playing a recording or broadcast and so on. And as I said in my previous videos they are obviously taking all of this very seriously! My stark warning to you a couple of videos ago was just refrain from commenting if you're not sure of what you're saying, refrain from reposting retweeting republishing whatever videos that might well amount to this kind of offense. For people who come from the

1:09:10 Retweets are not endorsement land. That is not available to you as a defense in the UK This is the line, In the Communications Law of 2003 Electronic communications which are grossly offensive or indecent obscene or menacing or false for the purpose of causing annoyance inconvenience Or needless anxiety To someone else I mean You might as well just Turn off your computer But... Well the word annoyance is the key here. Of course! But that's not even necessary because this is how far they're going. This is the conversation now in the UK, in Britain. This is Good Morning Britain! Listen to this... As the police brace themselves for more riots today and in the coming days The role social media has played under spotlight with calls for the big tech giants take action but should access be limited by government police if riots happen in a place? What would that even look like

CHAPTER 24 / 61 Discussion

Internet Packet Filtering, Social Media Shutdowns

Discussions on "Good Morning Britain" regarding the potential for government-mandated social media shutdowns are reviewed. The concept of "packet filtering" to block access to specific sites during unrest is presented as a temporary safety measure, drawing comparisons to policies suggested by French President Emmanuel Macron.

united kingdom· packet filtering· social media· emmanuel macron· censorship

1:10:11 Well, the government could use what's called packet filtering. So that is when access to sites and specific content is blocked by internet service providers but if they did that it would be unprecedented here in the UK with restrictions like this only seen in authoritarian countries like North Korea Russia and China France's President Macron raised the idea as something that it might consider last year in response to riots there, but it actually never materialised. So is it time to consider doing that here? We're joined now by broadcaster Raya El Salehi who thinks social media is vital to freedom of speech and entrepreneur Anna Valete who says a temporary shutdown could stop the spread of information – it might work

1:10:59 I think so. We should stop it, it's only a temporary measure in order to limit the spread of inflammatory information and misinformation as well across the United Kingdom at this point I think we should focus on keeping people safe and communities safe as well. So my point is just to stop it, and I think we considered that in 2011 when David Cameron was a prime minister he did consider input to parliament at times when there's a need for it occur And as you mentioned before France as well last year as recent as July last year President Macron mentioned that we should potentially consider that

1:11:40 and for the protection of public health, you know? So they are massaging the British public into accepting this. Yeah we should just shut it down! We should just shut down social media because it's dangerous you know You're hurting people's feelings, you're being an annoyance And then Elon Musk unclokes... ...and I'm starting to see that Elon Musk, who I always thought he is a man who wants great power and I think that he is moving, lot of people think he's great. I don't think he's great at all! I do not like what he is doing He is riling it all up and trying to be Mr Big Man on campus

CHAPTER 25 / 61 Discussion

Elon Musk, Keir Starmer, Civil War Comments

The public standoff between Elon Musk and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is examined. Musk's comments that "civil war is inevitable" in the UK and his accusations of "two-tier policing" have drawn condemnation from the British government. The hosts debate whether Musk is genuinely defending free speech or engaging in a power play.

elon musk· keir starmer· united kingdom· civil war· tommy robinson

1:12:18 This is going to end in tears for us here in America too. Thousands of additional police are flooding British streets today after a week of race riots across the country Far-right mobs have attacked people, mosques even immigration law offices It's the biggest challenge today for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who took office just a month ago Already he's in a standoff with Elon Musk about this issue Is there any sense that these riots are organized? Do they appear to be organized in anyway The violence is organized in part by the English Defense League or EDL. It's an anti-Islam group that was thought to be defunct but clearly is not they're tapping into existing prejudices and amplifying them online Elon Musk himself is playing a role in this how so what has he been saying?

1:13:04 So, Musk when he bought Twitter he restored the accounts of some far-right figures who had been banned including one of the leaders of the English Defence League a man who calls himself Tommy Robinson. He's a fascist whose been in and out of prison. He and Musk have been interacting on X sharing conspiracy theories. Musk wrote to his nearly 200 million followers that UK civil war is inevitable and he has also sort taunting the Prime Minister here, Keir Starmer online accusing Starmer of having a two-tier policing system that treats white people unfairly. The UK government is pleading with Musk to use his platform responsibly lives are at stake here. He I mean he's really...He's trying to make this about him?

1:13:49 Which is, I think it's troubling. Well, I'm not buying this and I hate to say it but you're taking Kara Swishers approach to Elon. You should be very ashamed of what you're saying here Not at all! And I am not taking her approach... That's really insulting because I'm not done with my presentation But if you like I'm taking it from the point where I have to be I have to interrupt at some point How long if the presentation goes for another hour and you kind of reverse course, maybe I would change my mind but III I'm not completely into the idea that Elon is doing much more than just supporting his own platform. So

CHAPTER 26 / 61 Discussion

Turkey Instagram Ban, Elon Musk, Digital Fascism

Turkey's nationwide ban on Instagram is discussed, with President Erdogan labeling the platform's actions as "digital fascism." The ban reportedly followed Instagram's removal of posts commemorating a killed Hamas leader. The hosts contrast this with Elon Musk's compliance with Turkish censorship requests to keep X operational in the country.

turkey· recep tayyip erdogan· instagram· elon musk· censorship

1:14:36 Yes, because he's under attack. They're gonna pull the plug on his platform and probably Facebook too in the UK He's not happy about that so he goes after The Prime Minister when I say it's a social media war is going to be who social media network runs in which country If we look at Turkey, although Good Morning Britain said oh it's like North Korea. No it's like Turkey Elon Musk has been very very friendly to Erdogan and Erdogan has allowed Twitter to remain on this is what its about to remain available in Turkey because Elon has censored accounts that the Turkish government at Erdogan wants him to censor

1:15:24 Those who weren't on board with Erdogan is the other social media company, Facebook. Digital fascism... that's what Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is calling Instagram's behavior Afterward he denounced as censorship by the social media platform and implemented a nationwide ban since Friday. While the government didn't provide specific reasons, multiple Turkish media platforms attributed the ban to Instagram removing images locals posted paying homage to recently killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. These companies which promote all kinds of immorality, prostitution and support for terrorist organisations under the bracket of freedom have openly declared war on the glorious resistance of the Palestinian people and their heroic sons in the virtual world. An estimated 50 to 60 million of Turkey's 85 million population subscribe to Instagram which serves as a platform for wide range commercial activities raising concerns from many Turkish businesses

1:16:29 E-commerce experts predict the ban could be costing local businesses around 52 million euros per day. So only Facebook is banned and not Twitter? This is the game that Elon's playing, and it's fine! You can say oh Elon's great until he did...until whatever interests him is not in line with you. That's what interests his profitability. Being shut down. No There's money in this, there is money into getting rid of Facebook. This is HL Hunt. This is...HL Hunt had 600 radio stations he didn't care if you lost money on that Elon's business as rockets this is a power play and the second piece from NPR here What is the UK government doing?

CHAPTER 27 / 61 Discussion

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, EV Policy

The evolving relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is analyzed ahead of their scheduled interview. Trump's shift toward supporting electric vehicles due to Musk's endorsement is noted. The hosts express skepticism about the alliance and the future of X as a "town square."

elon musk· donald trump· electric vehicles· tesla· x

1:17:16 So aside from deploying thousands more police, speeding up court appearances for suspects the government has a special team flagging social media posts that incite violence and I've actually seen this anecdotally. People here show me want to show me something they saw on Facebook or TikTok and then it's been removed people are being arrested for hate speech online hate crime laws are being used and the government is looking at officially banning groups like the EDL just like they do for terror groups abroad I think his whole play here is to get banned in the UK for power here in the US. You know, he's doing a very special interview with Donald Trump on Monday and Trump is now even out there saying well you know Elon Musk he's now for me so I can't be against electronic vehicles What? Where did he do that

1:18:10 Because the last time I heard Trump's speech he still had his anti-electric car thing. He said that Tesla was great, but he doesn't like electric cars. But so where is that specific thing you just cited? He literally said...I'll tell ya. Do you have a clip? No there is no clip. I have an article. It says, I have no choice but to back EV because Elon is on my side now Where did that appear? In The Guardian. It's from one of his speeches, John. Okay would you like me to stop the show and find it for you because he said... I'm telling ya' I've been listening to this material and he still anti-EV But my point is He's getting into bed with Elon Musk And i just don't think that's a good idea

1:19:00 I don't. I agree with that second part of this, which is yes he is getting into bed with Elon Musk and that's not a good idea because remember freedom of speech not freedom of reach you know if you think that X is going to be any good as a publishing platform to get anywhere that's where you're mistaken it's the Bozo filter That's what's going to be implemented, and I just don't like it. I don't care if i'm for For an issue or not that is not a public that is not the town square that he keeps touting And you know so and then he sued this garma initiative? And they immediately disbanded but that doesn't mean that doesn't mean advertisers are coming back They're not gonna advertise He told him to f off It's obvious

CHAPTER 28 / 61 Discussion

Social Media Manipulation, Substack, Bozo Filter

The hosts discuss the inherent manipulation of centralized social media platforms. They argue that microblogging is increasingly useless for making a real impact and suggest that independent blogs or Substack are better alternatives, despite Substack's own promotional algorithms.

social media· substack· mastodon· algorithms· manipulation

1:19:51 So I'm just saying people are all jacked up. Oh, yeah you know it's good! I can post here... You're among them! By the way do you know- Where else am i going to post just a casual thought? On the Fediverse?! Write a sub stack man anything Anything but that. Well I do that too Yeah well I'm for that. I'm for your own blog. It's going to be useless People think they're making a difference and you're not Now, I'm not saying you can make a difference on Mastodon. I'm against microblogging in general. You know Elon is also removing retweet and like counts Why is he doing that do you think? Do you only see how many impressions because you can easily manipulate that That's why no one can see the impressions but you can go in and see who retweeted And who likes... I see the like counts He's removing them

1:20:47 This has been announced in your favorite magazine, PC Magazine. So all of this is to say that social media is now a war between who has the more power in which country and for what reason? And it's just not good! It's not good for our people, for the people listening. Podcast are still good you know your sub stack I think is still good... What do mean you think? Well, I have not investigated if they limit that in any way. Well they haven't so...I mean Medium I know they do for sure Yeah! All of this stuff all of this centralized stuff that's owned by someone else is just no longer good as a place to publish If you think you're publishing something you're not

1:21:39 Anyway, we have a rare... Well the reason for using Substack is more than just you know you could put it on your own blog. Yes! But Substack will do promotions that you can't do with your own blog they have a bigger base. They have millions and millions of people, and if you produce something that they feel obliged to because say all of the sudden you've decided to monetize it, they want to make money off your monetization which is how they do it, they'll blow out your stuff so you get some more followers and readers. You can't do that on an individual basis. You need the leverage.

1:22:21 Fine. My point is, these social media sites are highly manipulated for reasons that you don't know and what you think is happening, what you think your publishing, your opinion somehow matters... It doesn't! And a lot of people truly believe it they're sitting four or five some eight hours a day thinking they're making a difference but what you're seeing, what other people are seeing is manipulated It's manipulated. It's not good, it's not healthy either and I see you posting way too much. I'm concerned about you. I'm retweeting stuff that is usually funny stuff. Soon will be illegal! I retweet the humorous stuff That will be illegal! I don't think i'm making a difference You are! I am not deluded No you aren't...you aren't

CHAPTER 29 / 61 Discussion

UK Counter-Protests, Tommy Robinson, Agent Provocateurs

A "boots on the ground" report from a UK listener describes the atmosphere of anti-protests organized by the Socialist Workers Party. The discussion touches on the motivations of rioters in northern England and the theory that activist Tommy Robinson may be a government operative or "op."

united kingdom· socialist workers party· tommy robinson· immigration· london

1:23:12 Most people on social media, particularly X who believe that Elon Musk is the best thing ever and he's standing up for our rights. They are wrong! We're going to get hate speech sanctions here He is forcing our own government here into making Posting on x not anonymous you watch put it in the book Now I'd like to move to a counter narrative. One of our producers sent in a boots on the ground, he is a liberal from the UK his girlfriend, his partner organizes anti-protests against the rioters and pro Palestine and he is no agenda listener And um...I think it was interesting what he had to say and the audio wasn't bad so I wanted to play

1:24:06 In the morning, although it's about five o'clock here I hope this gets to you in time. I listened to the last show and I've been listening for god about 13 years now and i'm 27 and very thankful for everything that you guys have done You made me who I am today My girlfriend is an organizer with Socialist Workers Party, the SWP So all of the Palestine demos And increasingly now all of the mobilization against the far right She's you know, she said spearhead of a lot of that. She went up to Liverpool and a few other demos in the north of England and You know honestly The people that are there you have a few people that are

1:24:47 Obviously concerned about the immigration in this country. I mean, you know, I'm a family of immigrants Jamaican I'm a descendant of a Jamaican immigrant family in the 40s Yeah these these people they have you know some of them valid concerns but But a lot of those people that are there are like football hooligans She saw people with swastikas on one or two, people doing Nazi salutes People who really I do feel have hatred in their hearts you know so... I think to claim that

1:25:26 As a country that we're really sick and tired of this maybe isn't true. I am based in London, in the metropolitan elite and you know I live in a very multicultural area but a lot of these people that are really up in arms and upset that way because of decades of disinvestment in their communities, not enough schools, not enough hospitals. Not any jobs because how the Tories have treated this country and how labor fucked up a lot of things as well but I definitely don't think it's the fault of immigrants. I just thought that was an interesting take! And its more like America than I thought

1:26:09 Yeah, we don't like the borders being open but the people in the north have just been ignored by all political parties I would say that makes sense. I don't know about swastikas and all that I mean yeah whatever and calling Tommy Robinson a not that he did but calling Tommy Robinson a Fascist it's going a bit far He just Tommy Robinson according to some of the people that I have over there is a part of an agent. He's an agent of the government, he's an op! That's what i've heard too exactly They bring him out when they need him Well we have Sir Brian of London runs his blog and talks them all the time so maybe he can let us know what to what he thinks I'm sure you will disagree that he's an OP but I can see why he would be seen that way for sure

CHAPTER 30 / 61 Discussion

European Free Speech, French Academic Restrictions

A conversation with a French professor highlights the lack of free speech in France, where trade organizations and unions reportedly suppress dissenting opinions. The hosts discuss the global trend toward "political correctness" and the erosion of free speech protections across Europe and the United States.

france· free speech· academia· political correctness· hate speech

1:27:00 There's something much bigger happening here that is not contained to the UK. In fact, we had a dinner it was kind of funny at this caterer in Revel Catering in Fredericksburg The chef Max he does these secretive invite only dinners and he'll do you know special menu and there was a UT from Austin professor neuroscience and math, tenured although he's pretty young. Thibault, he sat next to me and said oh man... He is French says you have no idea France zero freedom of speech. He says if you step over the line they will have unions come after you they'll have trade organizations you can't say anything even as a professor

1:27:54 He says it's outrageous, you can't do anything in France. And then and it just is like... It's a big the whole of Europe he says this is completely lost I believe it! Well this everything that we've at least brought up so far in this analysis of yours including Elon stuff Is all related to freedom of speech? Yes All of it and there has been and in this guy Walls Has come out and said he's against freedom of speech. Yes, I think I have a I have that clip actually Do you have that clip? I do not have that clip

1:28:38 Let me see a video clip. I've seen it in a number of times yeah, i retweeted it I didn't get it from you okay? Let me see I thought where was that he literally said You don't have freedom with speech or you can't have freedom and maybe you don't know you shouldn't have freedom of speech Yeah if you are expressing an opinion that's not proven to be true misinformation I'm sorry, which is what freedom of speech is really all about. Yeah, I don't have that I will get it for the next show Yes But I'm seeing that we're moving towards that here you gonna see this this this is going to be well We've been moving toward this with the liberal governments yes the progressives in particular yes the the Cancel culture is an element of it big time and it's been going on at

1:29:32 PC, the PC idea. Political correctness. Political correctness is which goes back to first time I heard the term was in 1981, I believe and it's been in play for a long time and political correctness is against free speech this is not something we discovered on this show in the last 20 years No! Not at all This is at least over 40 years old as a movement And it's like, it eats away. Now in England is I guess because they have their...I don't know what what's wrong with them? They've just taken to the right to the edge of the precipice and then and like your friend from France said It's already taking place in most of Europe so free speeches are now

1:30:25 You have to call it quirky. It's unusual anywhere in the world. It's kooky, it's kooky! And it will not last What? Free speech? You cannot control a population if you have free speech Well let's see...you actually need hate speech to get anywhere Yeah well I don't know we've been noticing this here that hate speech there is no actual law but That's how man I can't believe we don't have that clip of and funny they hate speech Most the hate speech. I hear is people hating on Trump, but that does know that's okay That's okay somehow that's okay. Yeah trouble JV Vance and in the phony couch anecdote Mm-hmm is hating on him for some reason you can hate in one direction in one direction only yes Yes

CHAPTER 31 / 61 Discussion

Joe Biden, CBS Interview, Transfer of Power

A teaser for Joe Biden's upcoming CBS interview is analyzed, in which he expresses doubt about a peaceful transfer of power if Donald Trump loses. The hosts question the logic of the statement, noting that Biden is the one currently in power responsible for the transfer.

joe biden· cbs news· transfer of power· donald trump· 2024 election

1:31:27 President Biden is going to do a CBS interview. You've got to wonder why I think it comes out on Monday so right before the Wait, when is the that's not my when does the DNC start? See the 7th of the 9th, I think Of what can't be this haven't noted no that was yesterday That can't be the 9th. Yeah, no it can't... look it up! There we go. Let's see does anyone in the troll room know? These guys are no good It starts the 19th August 19th. Okay there was a nine involved yeah by the way it was Tony Blair who is the Prime Minister when that 2003 law was put in play yes

1:32:20 And it's amazing that it really hasn't been used until now, but they were very smart. They put in social media right there and here are all the things you can do This is a teaser that was put out of the CBS interview with President Biden, a gaffe of epic proportions. The US president Joe Biden has said in an interview with CBS News that he's not confident at all there will be a peaceful transfer of power to Kamala Harris if Donald Trump loses November's election now it's his first interview since he pulled out of the race They've released a clip early ahead of the full interview, which is to come at the weekend. Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025? If Trump wins no I'm not confident at all. I mean if Trump loses i'm not confident at all. Yes I heard that. I mean come on! It's like the truth wants to come out Joe it's obvious. If trump wins...I agree there's going to be mayhem

1:33:24 You know it! Now, the question is weird. Weird I used it. Yeah you didn't say anything. Oh, I'm sorry. I barely had time you caught yourself as good The question is odd because what are they talking about a peaceful transfer of power? Biden is the one in office that has to be transferring the power Yes. So why would you ask him that? In other words, Joe are you going to stay in power if whatever happens at the election is gonna be a peaceful transfer of power in 2025? That's pretty much what he said! It's almost like a trick question. That's pretty much what he said

CHAPTER 32 / 61 Discussion

Tim Walz, First Amendment, Hate Speech Claims

A clip of Tim Walz claiming there is "no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech" is deconstructed. The hosts point out that hate speech is indeed protected by the First Amendment according to Supreme Court precedent, criticizing Walz's understanding of constitutional law.

tim walz· first amendment· hate speech· misinformation· supreme court

1:34:05 I mean, but why? Why is he even doing an interview this is yeah there's something up with that you met the thesis that he's gonna like Throw his hat back in the ring at and the first day of the convention which she speaking on the first day It's funny. I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't think he's got the nerve to do it Let alone. I just don't think he has a strength of will at this point Oh, I have the blood I liked the idea. I have the Waltz clip for ya Here it is, Walt's clip. I think we need to push back on this there There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy. I think we need You can't do that you can't misinformation And hate speech he put that in the specific hate speech in yeah hate speeches protected by the first amendment

1:34:58 Hello. Yeah, well so you can't hate on anybody they can hate on Trump all they want But I guess you can't hate on anybody You can say that guy sucks stinks. I can't wait and hate them You can't hate a baseball team that keeps losing you Can't hate a football player that you don't like you can't hate your ex-wife. Yes, you can't hate on it What what let me ask your question could you argue as a? constitutional lawyer Could you argue that hate speech is of course allowed, but that when the Constitution was written... Now this is one of those you know they didn't have AR-15's back in the day. But can you argue that when that was written that you know the right to free speech shall not be infringed? That

1:35:50 That was never anonymous back in the day because you didn't have Anonymity in speech you did if you were a pamphlet here. Okay? All right there You go well that's bullcrap okay In fact If you look back and then in the era and the 1800s The amount of hate speech back in the day when it came to political was great It is he's great was off-the-rails compared to what we're doing yeah, it's been tamped down Before we take a break, this came out on Sunday when we were doing the show. This interview with your guy Byron Donalds

CHAPTER 33 / 61 Discussion

Byron Donalds, George Stephanopoulos, Racial Identity

Congressman Byron Donalds's heated interview with George Stephanopoulos is reviewed. The debate centers on Kamala Harris's racial identity and past media coverage from the AP describing her as Indian-American. Stephanopoulos repeatedly accuses Donalds of using a "slur" by questioning Harris's self-identification.

byron donalds· george stephanopoulos· kamala harris· racial identity· ap

1:36:27 Yes, George Stephanopoulos. Yeah Did you see this I did? I think it was I think Stephanophilus personally even though the media thinks oh what a great job of taking down by no He made a fool out of himself just bringing Republican congressman and Trump ally Byron Donalds congressman Thank you for joining us this morning Why is former president trump question with vice presidents racial identity? Well, first George in Chicago he was responding to a question from I believe Rachel Scott. Like this is really a phony controversy. I don't really care most people don't but if we're gonna be accurate when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate it was AP that said she was the first Indian American United States Senator it was actually played up a lot when she came into the Senate now she's running nationally obviously the campaign has shifted they're talking much more about her father's

1:37:18 heritage of her black identity. But yes, he did mention it in Chicago in response to a question from Rachel Scott. And you just repeated the slur again if it doesn't matter why do you keep questioning? Slur! Slur! So being an Indian American is a slur? Indian Heritage is a slur? Is that what I think Benopolis was saying and you couldn't get off of it He could not let go stuck on it. The slur again, if it doesn't matter why do you all keep questioning her identity? She's always identified as a black woman. She is biracial she has Jamaican father and Indian mother she's always identified as both Why are you questioning that

1:37:57 Well, George first of all this is something that's actually a conversation throughout social media right now. There are a lot of people who are trying to figure this out but again that's a side issue not the main issue. The main issue... Sir one second you just did it and you just did it again! What did he do? I can't figure out what is George Stephanopoulos hearing that we're not hearing He just did it again? I felt the same way when i heard this clip. George, now that you're done yelling at me let me answer. Ooh ooh ooh yeah! George is gonna yell at the black man there's got to be a law against that I know you guys like to glom on to this and he talks about in jest or in a serious manner for about a minute or so but what you do not cover is the litany of failures of Kamala Harris That's what your not covering George So questioning somebody's racial identity for a couple minutes is okay?

1:38:58 George, I'm going to tell you again. He brought it up. AP is the one that wrote the headline when she first came in to the United States Senate didn't talk about her being black talked about her being the first Indian American senator. AP brought that up. I mean, George, we could have this conversation for the entire segment but none of this matters to the American people If it doesn't matter, I don't understand why you keep on repeating it. Why the president keeps on repeating it? Why those introducing the president yesterday- George actually, I'm not the one who keeps repeating it! George, you're the one that's bringing it up now! That's- You've done it three times! Every single answer you gave me... Now let ME finish sir! Every single answer you gave he repeated the slur! You asked me George, thats why im pushing back on you now

1:39:38 George, you asked me the question three times. I responded but- And every single time you repeat the slur that is exactly my point. You simply can't say that it's wrong. So then what you're saying... and i want to get off this topic because this not the only thing going on But George now your saying AP is the one who slured Kamala Harris because those are facts! You can go to the internet and look at the clips if you want too or we could talk about this now. I prefer to talk about the future of our country It's amazing, what's amazing is here's this tiny white guy arguing with a black guy about a woman who claims she's black when... we should define black just say ADOS or foundational black or whatever but you know but not what he's doing.

1:40:22 This is insanity on the airwaves. AP did not say that Kamala Harris is not black, she's biracial She's Indian, she's black You continue to repeat the fact That you continue to repeat this slur I don't understand why you and the president do it But its clear your're not going to say that It's wrong And now you've established that For our audience Trump also said at the convention that he would pardon January 6th rioters Everybody look for themselves Let's move on I've already said that. Go ahead. Hang on everybody, let's move on. There we go. He can go and repeat the slurs again. And he repeats they didn't do anything! This is... this is people here insanity it's mental illness by the way I made a big boo-boo on the last show explaining the one drop rule? I said exactly the wrong way around

CHAPTER 34 / 61 Discussion

One Drop Rule, Jim Crow Laws, Showboat

A correction is issued regarding the "one drop rule," clarifying that it was a legal principle used in the Jim Crow era to classify anyone with any African ancestry as Black. The hosts discuss the historical context of the rule and its relevance to modern identity politics.

one drop rule· jim crow· racial history· showboat· linguistics

1:41:11 The one drop rule, I said if you have one drop of whiteness you're not black. It was exactly the other way around the one drop rule... I thought you said it right? No it was the other way which is when I made the reference to the show uh to the stage play Showboat Yes, I said it the wrong way around Which punchline was that there was a one drop of black blood at... But I explained it the wrong way Oh well I didn't hear ya obviously zoned out I should apologize. And why not? I'll just explain it properly, the one drop rule was invented to declare that legally a person was not white as long as they had one drop of black blood in them That's the correct way That was part of the Jim Crow laws etc So anyway... Well I'm still fascinated by this Stepanopolous

1:42:05 It's mental illness. He should be taken off the air and what is this slur? What was the slur you're not black so that's a slur yes wait so being not being black is a slur now if yeah, If you say you're not black like well what Byron should have said as well Was it a slur then when Joe Biden said if you don't fight for me You ain't you don't vote for me you ain't black That would have been a real slur then which I think it actually was Byron I'm sure. I like this guy a lot, and he's terrific but i think he was flat-footed Because out of the blue it was you weren't prepared for this kind of insanity if you were You would have had a million comebacks But he didn't have any he was just trying to push the guy away Yeah, we're like a madman coming at ya very weird well with that

CHAPTER 35 / 61 Discussion

No Agenda Show, Troll Room, Modern Podcast Apps

The hosts promote the "Troll Room" and the use of modern podcasting apps that support live alerts and interactive features. They emphasize the importance of independent platforms in the face of increasing censorship on legacy apps like Apple and Spotify.

no agenda· troll room· podcasting 2.0· value for value· live stream

1:42:59 I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put The Sea in the Facebook Crime. Say hello to my friend on the other end! The one, the only Mr John C. DeVore! Show's running too long! In the morning of the year, Mr Adam Crane, tomorrow our ships will see blue sun, ground feeding the air, sub-zero water, damage nights out there Let's count those trolls! There we go! We're late It's my fault that were late. We're 1917. It's down. Trolls are down But there's still almost 2,000 trolls which I always find amazing. 2,000 trolls listening live which you can do at trollroom.io it's a brand new website You can listen to the livestream 24-7 You control along, you can log in, you can post stuff...you don't have to login

1:43:49 and it's all pretty much anonymous. I mean, it's one of the last places... Podcasts in troll rooms! That's the only place you can still be a troll say whatever you want All freedom of speech allowed here as far as I know. I can't even kick anybody off anymore I don't have the power. What? No, the power has been removed from me Why?! I don't know! I used to be able just kick someone off and then you know they can come back You know...I wouldn't ban anybody but you know I'd like to kick them off Just funny I don't know I'll have to talk to Void Zero Maybe uh maybe overstep my powers It's been removed. Huh, maybe I'm not doing it right isn't it slash kick and then you do the name? I don't know I don't use that thing You should! I know you pop in from time to time you check out patrol. No. You've said on the last show you've been in there checking out...I have been in there but it was usually during somebody else's show

1:44:41 Yes, well that makes sense. Darren's show probably you're probably in there too. Oh yeah Darren I'm a big fan You can also check out the troll room He doesn't play enough ACDC That's the way i see it You can also check out The Troll Room by using a modern podcast app There are many that you can use The cool thing about it is you get an alert when we go live, so you get the bat signal in your app and then you can listen live. None of the legacy apps can do this. And as you see hate speech... maybe not laws but hate speech actions being taken—it happens three or four times a day there's a podcast kicked off of Apple or off of Spotify

1:45:23 So, you know do with it what you want but if you like your podcast that you listen to no matter what they say the modern podcast apps are the way to go. It's one of the last places it still can be done That and your own blog and maybe Substack Even though Elon defeated the Garm Hold on let me see I praise him for that. That operation was a scam. Yeah, but the American Federation of Advertisers is still there they're not they haven't gone anywhere they just disbanded Garm he's not gonna get any advertising this obvious why would he you know advertisers don't want controversy that's why we never what are you eating? A lozenge

CHAPTER 36 / 61 Discussion

Value for Value, Cable TV Economics, V4VTV

The hosts explore the idea of launching a "Value for Value" cable TV network (V4VTV). They analyze a spreadsheet of cable carriage fees, noting that networks like ESPN receive over $10 per household, while smaller channels like Magnolia or the Food Network receive significantly less.

value for value· cable tv· espn· carriage fees· v4vtv

1:46:11 That's why we never took advertising. We knew that it would just result in meetings and annoyances, which is technically illegal in the UK you can't annoy me with your meeting advertiser so we knew wouldn't work So we said you know what? Why don't we just go for a value-for-value model? We put it out on even Patreon people think all patrons value for value No It isn't because if you do something somewhere else not even on your own podcast and patreon hears about it They will kick you off They will kick you off and sometimes even hold on to your money, which is horrible. Yeah well that's illegal! Yeah well they can give you 90 days or something there's something weird that they can do if they have your money it's not... You can't fight it It's hard to fight the man in that way So we decided hey give us time talent treasure anything that adds up to something that helps the show and of course yeah Anything that's about one-tenth of what we would have made if we were a commercial Well yeah That's true

1:47:09 That's true. We can always go commercial, I mean Podcast One wants us! We could probably make more...I mean we could make more? I think we can make more by syndicating on the TV. I think that idea is something worth... Mimi insisted that we follow up Well I sent you a whole thing about it and you didn't even respond to me But I didn't see it No I responded Because I contacted the former Disney guy abou this who I thought would be the perfect guy Yeah what did he say He hasn't gotten back to me yet. No, well then you would... Thanks! Set me up? He used to do all the deals for Disney he would do all the cable deals and we happen to know that the prices that you get per household

1:47:57 What? Ugh. But we can't talk about it Yeah, no! We did... yeah no! The price- We got a spreadsheet that has all the money and it's like outrageous I mean Turner Classic movies what do they get per household? A buck and half 150 now MTV gets a buck more than a buck there's some things like that are you know it goes down to 33 cents yeah I would say about we could probably get about 30 cents per subscriber And I got a lot of people saying they would be more than willing to hike their skirts to get clearances on these big cable, uh, cable outfits. So we've got the, we've got the bribes and willy and how turn on my camera. You know what? The interesting thing is that for people like by the way, the guy, we got an anonymous spreadsheet from somebody in the business

1:48:47 And the one that really stands out like a sore thumb is ESPN. Oh, isn't it like seven bucks or something crazy? Ten dollars ahead! Yeah and whether you have it or not I think... No, I think you have to have it and the funny thing is what's amusing to people who watch ESPN because people on ESPN every so often moan about being on ESPN too ESPN gets 10 bucks a head and I think ESPN 2 is like two or three dollars, or less. It's like okay it's just the ESPN. Well hold on let me bring up the spreadsheet for a second this will blow people's minds so just so you know The way it works Is these cable company pays The networks So lets see Bravo For carriage Yeah for carriage so bravo

1:49:41 58 cents per household. Bravo! Bravo, that's nothing the cooking channel 27 cents you really think we could do 33? Well we can do at least 27 yeah well let me say what's low Nickelodeon gets a buck 89 so all you need is a million people who swimming in dough we could be given every we could give the trolls money back I know you don't like that idea, but i'm just saying. Well if they hike their skirt yeah

1:50:17 If you only want the by the way, only the meat only the girls nothing in if you hike your skirt You're hiking your skirt. You're in here Oprah Oprah makes 38 the over own Oprah makes 38 30 nobody watches owned no Magnolia 27 cents Nobody watches these these networks go to some of the ones they watch look at it Look at it look up ESPN ESP yes what ESPN has multiple channels which is kind of the way to go I can tell so ESPN HD $10.35 ESPN 2, 1 dollar 97 and then ESPN News no one cares about that the seven-and-a-half cents ESPN NU what is that?

1:50:59 What is AAU? I used to know what that is, but I don't remember. That's 29 cents... the food network gets 65 cents so and you know and my whole thinking of when we came up with this idea... The food network yeah 65 cents is not bad We came with this idea that everyone's cutting cable You know, people are running away. They're going to the streamers now I don't think that cable will be around for a long time but it's diminishing decades and if we say hey we're the hip podcast guys We can do... I sent you V4VTV That's what i sent you You probably didn't like it No! It has a nice ring to it v4vtv.com Yeah Be perfect

CHAPTER 37 / 61 Discussion

Cable History, CCTV, Volunteerism

The history of cable television, originally known as Community Antenna Television (CATV), is discussed. The hosts reflect on how the business model flipped from stations paying for reach to cable operators paying for content, and how they might apply these lessons to a new media venture.

cable television· cctv· hbo· broadcasting· business model

1:51:43 We'll talk about this more. Okay, because that spreadsheet is an eye-opener? It is an eye opener! And what's funny about it I want to...I mentioned that I sent a note back with this comment which was...I remember the early days The early days of cable was never called Cable. It was called CCTV Yes indeed, I remember Community something television and people would set up these systems They would get, they would in other words if you're like a look you have three local stations and you wanted but you got to fringe areas where nobody even with an antenna could pick it up. You'd put up a cable system up there or CCTV and you play your local stations up there in the middle of nowhere And that's the stations would pay the cable operators Yeah

1:52:30 for the extra coverage, because now they had more reach and so it was they'd move their ads and sell more ads. And I don't know what year it changed but at some point it flipped. And I think it was beginning with HBO, maybe. Because HBO said you know we're not going to be broadcasting anything but use a premium and you could probably lure more people into your system if you have our play our movies and you just have to give us a little bit of money. Was HBO on that list by the way? Yeah but it's $10 but that was direct billing so the... You have to pay extra. It is different.

1:53:08 But the question, so I think we can probably convince Joe. We'll have to give him millions but you know it's alright it'll be Joe. You get some piece of the action stock! Yeah stock options warrants will give them warrants. We'll give him a straight up stock. He will want money. We have to pay him money and he might like stock he doesn't need any extra money in this era of high taxes. I'm telling you he's not gonna do it unless we give him money yeah you gots to give But, you know... Who else do you want on the show? I mean, do you want Judge Knapp? I don't know who Judge Knapp is. Napolitano! Oh maybe why not? How about Brett Weinstein

1:53:54 And now you're stretching it. They can do overnights! There's a lot of... the selection is... Hi, I'm Heather Weinstein. Welcome to our... welcome to V for VT. We'll give them the 2am slot. We'll give them the overnights. Tim Poole? I think we should have The Poole Boy on he would rake him in He would do it too. But you promised me we're gonna go video so we can be on this, too We have to be on this I think we have to have a version on as an hour show Oh that sounds like extra work...I didn't sign up for that It could be part of the other show Nah man we should just do THIS SHOW! Just go live with camera-just the camera You could wear a mask

1:54:39 Think of the money, John. Think of the money! Until that time we are very grateful... Here's the other problem We can't chew up like what was our last showtime? Three and a half hours. Of course we can! People love that stuff, what do you mean we can't chew that up? Yack yack yak for three and a half hours... okay maybe but the idea overall is solid think of them and it doesn't get us off the air because people always worry about our crazy ideas making us quit this way we can't quit That's right when then we can't quit because it'll just be too good they'll be too good in the meantime

1:55:21 We plot along. So anybody with ideas, we're open for business! We're open for idea business I did get a thing today from one guy who's been in the video business Hey all we need to do is get on one cable system and we're good to go It just...I mean what do we really need? We got bumpers, we have people creating art, we can have... I mean we have an entire...and we can pay people Hey thanks boom here some money Think about it Don't get carried away Okay i'm all jacked Because the thing is about this volunteerism that we have is a big deal. There it is No, I'm saying that because some years ago...I'll give you this story Yeah but if we're raking in dough then people want a piece of the action We're not gonna be raking in THAT much, we just gonna make a little more than what we are making. We're gonna give them stock

CHAPTER 38 / 61 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Scaramanga, Newsletter Graphics

The artwork for the current episode is reviewed, featuring contributions from Francisco Scaramanga and other community artists. The hosts discuss the use of AI in art generation and select pieces for the show's newsletter and website.

no agenda art· scaramanga· joe biden· ai art· graphics

1:56:08 Stock stock Yes, definitely stock. Yeah stock okay, but no commercials I don't want a corporation yeah No, what I like bunch of shares out there and give people stuck and then when it when somebody buys us Everybody will clean up yeah now you're talking all right in the meantime We're only going to thank our artists because we do love them and they do great work for us. And they upload every single show during the live broadcasts at noagendaartgenerator.com, and we chose Francisco Scaramanga's artwork for episode 1683 The Rainbow of Rockets was the title There was some dissent amongst the ranks people thought that Shrimp Deal would have been a better title now that I think about it might have been funny

1:57:00 One of those shrimp deals? It was fine. And we chose Joe Biden, President Joe Biden although we were not happy with Scaramanga's rendering of Biden wasn't a great look but you could tell it was him And he was on the airplane looking for the bathroom. Yeah, it was good funny. It's like you know it was funny and scare manga of course a Dutch master they always reign supreme Was there anything else that we? Considered with a lot of rain I liked Apple guy with the Macintosh on his head talking to the girl. Hey use that for the newsletter I did because it was a good piece. And i didn't like it as much as Biden No, he didn't like it at all let's face it You tried to call in a chit which is illegal It was Matthew Dropko piece and it was very funny... it was the AI hello Yeah yeah yeah I kind of liked comic strip bloggers At least Scaramanga's piece looked like it might have been hand done Yeah, it might be! I don't think so but it might be Well he's an artist He actually can crank stuff out but he also likes to use

1:58:00 He likes to use AI a lot. Yeah, so yeah for cheesecake stuff dirty Jersey whore did I want my no agenda and I want my MTV? Logo at Nestworks also did a cut the cable A lot of people picked up on the idea of our own cable channel with some of the artwork was there anything else? I don't think anything else came close We had the HHI index by Nessworks with Kamala Coconut falling over with her legs in the air. Yeah, I think that the show itself didn't lend itself to great art ideas like the Camelot's crackers in a previous episode and I think today shows gonna be the same. I can tell you right now that everything I see artwork wise is not turning me on for today's show

1:58:53 There's one piece I think is acceptable. Hmm, well the it and by the way the folksy thing this picture of Camilla and This from America got American Gothic It's an old painting with a guy in his wife who's this guy she standing next to Hey drop go what is that? Who was that person? Yeah Yeah, I mean the camera on the left of the left one looks does look like Campbell But this guy he looks like some I don't know what that's not accountant from Pricewaterhouse. It doesn't look anything Thank you to our artists Thank You Francisco Scaramanga we appreciate the work that all of our artists do and We always look forward to it a great way to end the show and I would say there's still opportunities for anybody who wants To come in and swoop

CHAPTER 41 / 61 Discussion

Yahya Sinwar, New Hamas Leader, October 7th

Hamas names Yahya Sinwar as its new political leader following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. Sinwar, described as the architect of the October 7th attacks, is noted for his hardline stance and his current location in the tunnels of Gaza. The White House and Israel respond by labeling him a terrorist who must be brought to justice.

yahya sinwar· hamas· israel· gaza· october 7th

2:17:18 Garbage truck Street by garbage truck. I don't know why they have to make so much noise or why they have to do it on Thursday Well, you did every Thursday? Okay. I don't know what that usually earlier than this. I don't know what that trucks doing Yeah It sounds like a drone circling your house By the way This has to do with the new Hamas guy that took over and I have two clips and then in analysis with four more Clips okay So you have you'll know a lot when you're done here let's start with The new Hamas guy is the old Hamas guy. All right! Turning our attention now to the Middle East, Hamas has named Iyaya Sinwar as its new political leader and Turkey is seeking to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel. NTD's Fiona Ji has the latest updates and what they mean for the region. Turkey has requested to join South Africa's lawsuit against Israel in the International Court of Justice. The lawsuit accuses Israel of genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

2:18:15 Turkey is the latest nation seeking to join the lawsuit behind Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya and Palestinian officials. It is now waiting for the court's approval. Turkey's leadership has been an outspoken critic against Israel's war in Gaza Meanwhile, reactions to Yahya Sinwar's appointment as the new Hamas leader continue. On Wednesday White House National Security Advisor John Kirby said quote The man is a terrorist He has an awful lot of blood on his hands This guy was the architect of the 7th October attacks in Israel and some of that blood on his hands is American blood A spokesperson for the State Department said Sinwar has always called the shots for Hamas even before the death of former leader Ismail Haniyeh

2:19:00 Ultimately, it was Sinwar that had the final decision-making authority as we could see throughout these negotiations on whether to accept a ceasefire or not. So yes, Sinwar absolutely ought to be brought to justice –we believe that– for his significant acts of terrorism and we also think he ought to accept the ceasefire deal... Alright so just so I understand We're talking about the guy who's replacing the guy who got blowed up in Iran right? Yes. Okay, alright. Yah-Yah is his name. Yah-Yah is the new guy? Yeah, yah-yah. Yah-yah. Yah! Yah-yah! Yah-yah?! Yah! Yah! YAH! Yah-yah...

2:19:38 This is part two of that clip which I got too misspelled as YWOY. That's okay, I got you bro! The Israeli military chief of staff called Sinwar a murderer and said that Israel is ready to hurt its attackers the new Hamas leader is at the top of Israel's kill list some Gaza residents are also disheartened by the news speaking to CNN they say there has been too much death and they just want the war to end Others rejoiced at the news. In Yemen, university students rallied in support of Sinwar. Iran and the Hezbollah terrorist group congratulated Hamas on Sinwar. Experts say Sinwar is more extreme than his predecessor and his appointment could point Hamas to a more hardline stance. Hey why does this is NTD I believe? Why do they not say Turkey yay?

2:20:27 They not all in on that they don't like saying Turkey. That's a good point I'm just kind of missing it. I think a harsh note would be an order yes, you should send them one alright So that so now we got this guy and the thing that he's worse this guy is worse He's worries, but he's been running it all along. That's the job So how's he worse nice? So the other point is is that these guys are pretty pretty blatant about No trial, we're gonna kill him. We? Us? Our guys? We're gonna kill this guy! This guy's a dead man walking. Now we have an analysis that I do one of the reasons like NTD is because they really have good and different analysts. Yeah we should put them on our new cable channel. They got their own cable channel. How much money does it make per household? That's a good question you wonder if it's even

CHAPTER 42 / 61 Discussion

Hamas Analysis, Hostage Booby Traps, Tunnel Warfare

Expert analysis suggests that Sinwar's appointment consolidates power within Hamas but complicates ceasefire negotiations. A disturbing claim is discussed regarding the possibility that hostages held in Gaza are "booby-trapped" to prevent rescue operations. The segment explores the cynical nature of the conflict's leadership.

hamas· israel· hostages· tunnels· gaza

2:21:25 Oh no, they actually don't do cable. They do over the air... Oh losers! Seconds. They should do that too by the way. They don't have one of our deals man they don't get it yeah okay all right most favorite nation's thing is this stupid rule about cable it doesn't let you do a lot of stuff so here's new Hamas guy analysis 1 Earlier, we spoke with Gabriel Nirona a former State Department advisor on Iran about Hamas's decision to name Yahya Sinwar as its new political leader. Yaya! Nirona is also the executive director of Polaris National Security and a fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America Now, Yahya Sinwar was the architect of the October 7th terror attack on Israel What does Hamas selecting him as the new leader or political leader mean for the ongoing ceasefire?

2:22:16 negotiations. Well this is a consolidation of power within Hamas into Sinwar he was always the key decision maker for these ceasefires for the prisoner exchange deals and so instead of having Hania negotiate them in and try to relay messages from from Sinwar now it's all concentrated in one person That is good in one sense, and that it actually simplifies the decision-making and negotiating process. It also means that if and when I think Sinai gets killed by Israel is going to make a lot more difficult for Hamas to move on there again putting all the power in one place

2:22:55 This isn't gonna change too much. I think in terms of whether their policy changes how they approach things is different It's just gonna make things a lot harder you have one person trying to do two jobs if not more now Did we know that yeah, yeah was the guy behind October 7th? Do we know that already? I don't know that we did and I don't get this thing or when they kill him And so cavalier by the way. Yeah, yeah that guy when they kill him... If and when we kill him I mean Israel if and when we kill them this is we're murderers man this is no good I don't like this

2:23:33 Yeah, I find it distressing. At least Trump goes, I'm gonna kill him, take him out and kill like a dog That would be funnier but now this is just like if and when we kill them come on spice it up people It's a little too cavalier Here we go part two Sunor is believed to be in the tunnels of Gaza surrounded by hostages How does this factor into the ongoing negotiations? Well those hostages are... Hey stop that clip for second Whatever happened you remember this whatever happened to they're gonna flood the tunnels. Yeah, that was what ever happened to that idea Well got shot down for some reason they were waiting for a lot of the tunnels They're waiting for well I think the International Human Rights groups came in and said hey man That's kind of that's like rats. That's no good. You know this this idea We're gonna kill his guy which without one of those tunnels you know without

2:24:28 a trial or anything. No, just kill him! Kill him! Well those hostages are Sinuar's insurance policy that he is not going to get taken out by Israel tomorrow but at the same time it is speculated that Israel knows exactly where he is or generally where he is but again its too difficult to try and do a rescue operation because most people would assume that the hostages would be booby trapped So again, Israel's forced to move. Wait a minute! This is the first I'm hearing of the hostages being booby-trapped? Can you imagine being a hostage and they got you like a stick of dynamite up your butt? Well okay... this is not good. Rather insensitive way to put it but yes. Well, booby trapped okay you got a bunch of dynamites strapped around your chest yeah when those go off your head flies up. Pop pop pop We've talked about that

CHAPTER 43 / 61 Discussion

Iran-Hamas Relations, Nuclear Breakout, Lindsey Graham

The complex relationship between Sunni Hamas and Shia Iran is examined. Senator Lindsey Graham's call for military force against Iran to prevent nuclear breakout is highlighted. The discussion notes that Iran is reportedly weeks away from possessing a nuclear weapon.

iran· hamas· nuclear weapons· lindsey graham· middle east

2:25:21 This is all, this is new. I've never heard of the hostages... They're basically saying we got to give up on the hostages because they're booby-trapped anyway. I guess. Most people would assume the hostages would be booby trapped so again Israel's forced to negotiate with them at some point but again there's an expiration There's no way that Sinbar makes it out of all this alive And given his selection how do you think this will change or impact Hamas and its goals? You know, one really interesting aspect is that Haniya was able to unite many of the various Palestinian factions. He had been in the political arena for decades. Sinwar's a bit more of the fighter type and so there are you know there was an agreement recently in Beijing where the Chinese brought together 12 or 14 different Palestinian factions that was largely due to Haniya

2:26:13 particular role being able to bring these groups together. Asimov does not have that now a lot of groups are still going to be deferential to him as the leader of Hamas but he's coming from disadvantage, he's coming from place where he can't go out in the open and negotiate and talk with others He is literally bunkered down Okay... Alright Well you can do negotiations because they're gonna kill him Yeah seems like not a great way to start negotiations Hey we're gonna kill you but wanna make a deal? Or maybe that is the deal, like we won't kill you if you come to the table. I don't know Now on that hardline stance a man who spent years with Asenwar in Israel Israeli prisons told CNN that quote as far as Israel is concerned this is not good news regarding the deal because of Sen was close relationship with Iran help us understand the dynamics there

2:27:05 You know, Hamas is an imperfect proxy of Iran. Hamas is Sunni and the Iranian regime is Shia. And they actually split relations for a number of years over Iran's activities in Syria. And you know, Hamas gets a lot of military support financial supports certainly political support from Iran. But at the end of the day, Hamas also tries to advance its own agenda its own ideology which is separate from that of Iran. However now I think that Hamas is on the front line fighting Israel which is Iran's greatest enemy You're seeing Iran go out their way try and help Hamas more than they would have before October 7th

2:27:51 This is so cynical. Yeah, they're just like oh this is how it works and you know just like Iran It's just one big blob And by the way they are two weeks away from a nuclear bomb You should have mentioned that They've always been two weeks away I had a clip in a couple of shows ago with... Oh actually still have this clip Just to interrupt this flow I don't know if i moved it over or not. It's Lindsey Graham Yes, here he is Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina Is introducing legislation that would allow the president to use military force against Iran If its determined Iran is using nuclear weapons If we do not change course Iran will in the coming weeks or months Coming weeks or months Possess a nuclear weapon It is time to end this charade

CHAPTER 44 / 61 Discussion

Ismail Haniyeh Assassination, Signal Intelligence, PIJ

New details regarding the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran are discussed, including the theory that a bomb was planted in his room months in advance. The fact that leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the same building were not targeted is interpreted as a specific signal from the attackers.

ismail haniyeh· iran· mossad· palestinian islamic jihad· assassination

2:28:41 That the world is playing when it comes to Hamas Hezbollah and Iran that are one in the same Did he have any plans like bomb them? Bombed them and bombed them again. All right back to the Hamas guy Now I wanted before we got the last clip, but shouldn't mention There's a couple clips here that I left out a lot of stuff when they start But the United States in its approach which the guy kind of poopoo ziz is basically idiotic So I'll leave that out and we'll move to the last clip. And what will Sanwar's leadership mean for the Palestinian people in Gaza? Well, I think we've sort of seen it over the last several decades its failed leadership is leadership that is obsessed

2:29:25 with revolution, with intifadas and violence. This is leadership that has been offered peace several times and it has rejected it at every turn. Sinwar's goal for the Palestinian people frankly if he could see them all dead if that was what was required to take out Israel along the way It's something you would probably sign up for And frankly that's really what he did sign up for with October 7th That was designed so that Israel would counter-attack and all their hostages have been designed so that more and more Palestinians are killed. That is Sinuwar's policy, it is the only time you have a military leader whose success in fact is defined by how many of his own people can he have die on the path to jihad." Oh this is great! So by killing him we're actually saving Palestinians?

2:30:16 That's fantastic. Wow, these guys are so good and who was this again? Who was speaking what what he had to say the beginning He's a guy he's got a bunch of people is X State Department. He's he worked for us and he's working for some some Polaris or some company that does security work and then he's also a friend of he's in some Jewish operational stop this we're gonna stop this all this is nothing to stop I have a clip here from can't be done from the secrets and spies podcast Yes, have you ever heard this podcast? Yeah. I have This is Philip Smith who you'll hear speaking He's from The Washington Institute of the Near East which of course is some kind of

2:31:01 Yeah, some front group. And he's talking about... I think what he is saying here is along the lines of our thinking which is they wanted this old guy The one who got blowed up, they just wanted him out of the way. In New York Times that said no there was actually a bomb planted inside of his room and of course there were some other kind of more fluffy details that were in their like for instance it was an AI controlled thing you throw AI into it sounds advanced but anyway. Buzzword to the day yeah so I mean this is kind of stuff like that but you know there's an AI controlled thing that also detected when he was in the exact room what fascinating

2:31:40 You had other representatives and the leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad that were staying in the same building. Now, Palestinian Islamic Jihad is more directly controlled by the Iranians – a very dangerous group but PIJ has been very big in terms of launching rockets, kidnapping people, killing people, suicide bombings – you name it and they are markedly more beholden to the Iranians Interestingly, their reps who were there were not killed. Which once again it's another signal. Ziad Anakallah is the head of Islamic Jihad he was in the room next door that was reported in the Ronan Bergman article yes but again that's

2:32:22 Okay, if you think we can't hit anyone exactly when we want that's this is the thinking that goes behind it. I mean i'm sure there are people out there like why don't they just kill them all in the building well then that wouldn't send quite the same signal now would it? I think they took him out themselves! Just take this guy out! It's possible! Let's take this guy out It's probably the reason there hasn't used to this moment. They still haven't started their Retribution so that let's just stay on this for a second because there are a number of A number of Iran narratives going around even

2:32:59 Even though it's like is it Pakistan? Is that Iran? Is it ISIS listen to this the FBI arresting a Pakistani national in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katursky joins me now So what do we know about this man and what he was playing or planning rather oops? Truth wants to come out what he was playing. Yeah, he was playing a role but okay planning get of correspondent Aaron Katurski joins me now So what do we know about this man and what? He was playing or planet weather Kira, his name is Asif Merchant and he entered the United States according to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn in April. And while he was here in the United States He made phone calls trying to hire hitmen To carry out his alleged scheme to assassinate government officials on US soil The criminal complaint does not mention former President Trump by name But multiple sources familiar with this case say one of the intended targets was former President Trump

CHAPTER 45 / 61 Discussion

Pakistani National Arrest, Trump Assassination Plot

The FBI's arrest of Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national with ties to Iran, is detailed. Merchant is accused of plotting to hire hitmen to assassinate US government officials, including Donald Trump. The arrest occurred just one day before the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting, though no direct link between the two events has been established.

asif merchant· fbi· donald trump· assassination plot· iran

2:32:22 Okay, if you think we can't hit anyone exactly when we want that's this is the thinking that goes behind it. I mean i'm sure there are people out there like why don't they just kill them all in the building well then that wouldn't send quite the same signal now would it? I think they took him out themselves! Just take this guy out! It's possible! Let's take this guy out It's probably the reason there hasn't used to this moment. They still haven't started their Retribution so that let's just stay on this for a second because there are a number of A number of Iran narratives going around even

2:32:59 Even though it's like is it Pakistan? Is that Iran? Is it ISIS listen to this the FBI arresting a Pakistani national in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katursky joins me now So what do we know about this man and what he was playing or planning rather oops? Truth wants to come out what he was playing. Yeah, he was playing a role but okay planning get of correspondent Aaron Katurski joins me now So what do we know about this man and what? He was playing or planet weather Kira, his name is Asif Merchant and he entered the United States according to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn in April. And while he was here in the United States He made phone calls trying to hire hitmen To carry out his alleged scheme to assassinate government officials on US soil The criminal complaint does not mention former President Trump by name But multiple sources familiar with this case say one of the intended targets was former President Trump

2:33:59 The hitmen that Asif Mirshan allegedly contacted ended up being confidential sources of the FBI. So there was never any real danger here because it seems the feds were onto this man from the start, they followed him for several months and arrested him July 12th just before he was about to board a flight and leave the country. Kira, the arrest July 12th you'll note is one day before former President Trump's rally in Butler Pennsylvania when there was an attempt on the former president's life although these two things are not believed to be connected

2:34:38 All right, so no evidence in any way shape or form they could have shared information Or were connected in any way two separate incidents at this point So it seems Kira that the FBI has said they found no connection between Thomas Crooks The 20 year old who took a shot of Trump and in Pennsylvania and any foreign operatives but But we did learn subsequent to the rally and the assassination attempt that the Secret Service had made adjustments to the security plan for the rally because of a thinking that Iran did have this desire to go after former President Trump. Perhaps now we know what gave them that indication, perhaps this is one of the reasons why those security adjustments were made." This is such a convoluted story! So because they learned about some threats from Iran they made it even easier? Yeah I mean what is going on and then...I know you have the clip here out I'll play your clip

CHAPTER 46 / 61 Discussion

Taylor Swift, Vienna Terror Plot, ISIS

Three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna were canceled after Austrian authorities foiled a terror plot linked to ISIS. Two suspects, including a 19-year-old who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, were arrested. The plot reportedly involved explosives and knives intended to target fans outside the stadium.

taylor swift· vienna· isis· terror plot· austria

2:35:38 So now we have ISIS trying to attack a Taylor Swift concert. An alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Austria has been foiled, the three Swift concerts in Vienna have now been cancelled by the promoter Two suspects were arrested in connection with the alleged plot Officials in Austria said that main suspect is a 19 year old Austrian citizen They believe he had pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS Authorities said they found chemical substances when he was taken into custody. Investigators are working to determine whether they could have been used to build a bomb at a news conference, authorities said they believe both men became radicalized on the Internet and confirmed that they had detailed plans on how to carry out an attack

2:36:27 Now, there's a lot. I mean this is...I mean maybe the Swift op is just using Taylor Swift for whatever we want to use her for because you know we had the three kids who were killed in the UK knifed to death They were at a Taylor Swift party. Then we've got ISIS wanting to blow up people, young girls supposedly and their parents at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna By the way there's an update breaking! We are getting some breaking news from Austria following the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna Police this morning releasing new details about a terror plot that targeted the stadium

2:37:04 where the shows were scheduled this weekend. Government officials confirmed the two men arrested in connection to a planned attack, they say a 17-year old suspect began working at the Austrian venue days before the now cancelled shows The suspects sought to use knives or homemade explosives in the attack outside the Swift concerts during a press conference Vienna's head of police said immediate danger had been minimized and that an abstract danger remained in the city All tickets will be refunded within the next 10 business days. Swift's next set of Aries tour concerts are still scheduled in London from August 15th to the 20th." Yeah, that sounds like a great place to do a concert right now! They're killing your fans! There are forces at work

CHAPTER 47 / 61 Discussion

Bangladesh Coup, Sheikh Hasina, Color Revolution

The resignation and flight of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina following student-led protests is analyzed. Hasina has accused the US government of orchestrating a "color revolution" because she refused to allow a military base on Saint Martin's Island. The role of the army chief, trained in the UK, is highlighted.

bangladesh· sheikh hasina· coup· color revolution· military base

2:37:46 Right now that and who don't care about human life clearly who are really trying to set the stage for I maybe for Trump? I'm not sure but they're setting the stage. They're set up underway and Well, let me just play this on it before we get to that no Maybe I should play this now. It seems like This the latest that's happening in the world of what WTF is also our doing. This is Bangladesh, most people don't understand it or care about it but this is a report. An appeal for calm from the street The army chief in Bangladesh spoke to the nation in a televised address General Wacker Uzzaman announced an interim government would be formed while confirming reports Sheikh Hasina had resigned

2:38:35 The Honorable Prime Minister has resigned. Now we will form an interim government and continue our work to lead the country. Through the interim government, all the functioning of the country will take place." Out on the streets of the capital Dhaka, jubilant crowds waved flags and took pictures with army personnel. This after the Prime Minister's residence was stormed after crowds grew in numbers overwhelming security Demonstrators removed articles of furniture and danced in celebration. The latest development out of Bangladesh caps weeks of unrest. Student-led demonstrations kicked off last month over a controversial quota system on over half of government jobs reserved for certain groups, including descendants of freedom fighters but that quickly spiraled into a campaign to oust the Prime Minister

2:39:31 A heavy-handed crackdown under Sheikh Hasina's watch resulted in nearly 300 people killed and the eventual downfall of the Prime Minister herself. So, you know to us in the West it is like some brown people in some country making a mess for themselves but if you look just a little bit deeper So now this general has come in and he's not so that's what we call a coup. And the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who fled the country is now openly accusing the Biden regime of seeking to topple her government with a color revolution for her refusing to allow The United States to establish a military base in Bangladesh and for Bangladesh to cut ties with Russia and China

2:40:17 I'm gonna say that sounds pretty true to me. Especially when you see this, uh... Walker Uzama guy? Let me see.. Oh! He studied at the Joint Services Command and Staff College in the UK and at King's College University in London also known as The Spook University Come on people. It's so nasty Just nasty And I believe that of course you know it's very believable as the reason you believe it if you believe it because it's Believable, and it makes actually make sense yes

CHAPTER 48 / 61 Discussion

Piers Morgan, Taylor Swift, Songwriting Credits

Piers Morgan's defense of Taylor Swift on Jordan Peterson's podcast is critiqued. Morgan praises Swift's Wembley performance and claims she writes all her own music. The hosts dispute this, pointing to the extensive list of collaborators and co-writers on her hit songs.

piers morgan· taylor swift· jordan peterson· songwriting· wembley

2:40:58 Thank you because we try to do with yeah, we were we tried to make sense We tried but now Sam say as a country. We don't put up with any guff No guff no gov no gov next good show title no guff no guff What is guff exactly? You know guff it's like grief and So we don't put any grief or guffer or talk back. Bull crap, bull crap, no bull crap. A nicer word for bull crap. Little update... We haven't talked about the Olympics very much. Before you drift too far I do want to play the Piers Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift

2:41:44 Oh, well how could I even go to sleep tonight without Pierce Morgan commentary on Taylor Swift? And the only reason I'm playing this is because I have a complaint about it. He's on Jordan Peterson's podcast... Dulles Podcast of the group and so it looks like someone vomited on Peterson's jackets. It's like I can't it's hard to watch He's always wearing weird jackets, but anyway he's Peterson is bored stiff listening to this guy And it's that he just going okay whatever and so he goes on and on he's who knew that Pierce Morgan Of all people is a Swifty

2:42:21 An alleged terror plot targeting Taylor Swift concerts in Austria has been foiled. The three Swift... This is not what you want, obviously That's not it It's I'm sorry Annoying Pierce on Taylor. Annoying, gotcha. I don't really feel comfortable with winners anymore you know especially if they're a little bit self-confident and yet i think they're the best possible role models out there people that can perform in the cauldron of great sport or entertainment whatever it may be. Cauldron? Cauldron? Witchcraft anybody?! people that can perform in the cauldron of great sport or entertainment whatever it may be. You know I watched all this sort of jealous sniping about Taylor Swift for example and then i went to her concert at Wembley absolutely mind-blowing experience! It's not because she is the best singer in the world, or the best dancer, or the best actress, or the best pianist, or the best guitarist even though she does all those things

2:43:16 it's just I've never seen an audience so at one with the performer where she gave them what they wanted three and a half hours of banging hits on a massive stage with huge theatrics every kid there including my 12 year old daughter had a fantastic time but the sniping She doesn't sing every song live. She's there she's that she's written all these songs herself She's grossing two billion dollars on this tool Pro Rasa the biggest tour in the history of music bigger than The Beatles when they played Shea Stadium well I could have done without that I couldn't And here we go, she has a

2:44:03 minimum of 62 different collaborators that write these songs. Yeah, that's clearly... Pierce is wrong on that one He says she writes all her own yeah she has written a few songs but But the songs, if you look at her hits and look at who wrote them she's not even on there. These songs are collaborations at best and sometimes we call that... We call that colabs in the business. The colabs! So this is a lie And he bought into it. Wow, Piers Morgan buying into a lie! What will happen next? I just thought that was an important clip to play if nothing else than to hear Jordan Peterson go uh-huh...

paris 2024· olympics· seine river· e. coli· controversies

2:45:01 He's the guest it picks his energy up, but him being the host It drops the energy in the whole podcast as I said. I'm surprised Chris even got this worked out But he's big Taylor Swift fan.

Olympic Food Crisis, Raw Meat, Worms in Fish

The food quality at the Olympic Village is criticized, with reports of raw meat and live worms found in fish served to athletes. The British Olympic Association has resorted to bringing its own chefs. The hosts suggest the push for plant-based options has compromised the nutritional needs of the competitors.

olympics· paris 2024· food quality· worms· veganism

2:47:48 They got, ended up hospitalized. It was a big scandal. Oh I didn't know they were hospitalized? Oh goodness! Yes this broke yesterday that bunch of them were hospitalized with the E-coli Well then there's the food The Olympic Village isn't serving adequate food and some athletes aren't happy about it such a problem that team Great Britain has resorted to packed lunches and eating meals away from the Olympic Village. Andy Anson, chief of the British Olympic Association told The Times the quality of the food needs to be improved dramatically and said there aren't enough eggs chicken and certain carbohydrates he also said that athletes have been served raw meat chefs have been tasked with preparing over 13

2:48:28 million meals and snacks for athletes. And the Paris 2024 committee has a goal of reducing animal proteins and offering more plant-based options." The raw meat, I think they just took it the wrong way that was sous vide you misunderstood. And what they left out of that clip where...I had that clip too But I was irked by the fact they left out the worms. Yes, worms! They found worms in the fish live worms coming out of the fish This is a disaster even though they're making more money than ever. Well yeah, of course We didn't talk about it but Wall Street went crazy on Friday and Monday You guys talked about it on DH Unplugged And you put it in the newsletter that we would talk about it I don't know why he did that

CHAPTER 51 / 61 Discussion

Yen Carry Trade, Global Market Volatility

The "yen carry trade" is identified as the catalyst for recent global market volatility. Investors who borrowed yen at near-zero interest rates to buy US tech stocks were forced to liquidate positions when Japan raised rates. The impact on the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks and Bitcoin is discussed.

yen carry trade· japan· stock market· interest rates· bitcoin

2:49:15 I did? Yeah, you said we'll explain it. I said that? Yes! Yes...I saw it myself I don't know if we need to explain it. Oh, once in a while i put stuff in there that never happens You don't mean... you don't mean? I didn't mean it! It was just the joke Well what you guys talked about mainly on DHM Plug which is a great show you should listen to live on Tuesdays at Streamz Live they have some kind of chat room which doesn't work so they need donations They need help It used to work fine They need help They rag on Bitcoin yet Horowitz is interviewing Scaramucci today So alright whatever But the yen carry trade seems to be the impetus or the catalyst for this.

2:50:00 Which I didn't really know much about but it makes a lot of sense that people were basically borrowing a lot of money because the yen is you can borrow that almost for free and then they were buying all kinds of tech stocks, the Magnificent Seven. And then Japan said oh we're gonna raise our interest rates and everyone got in trouble Is that does that sum it up? Basically yeah, what caused it Yeah now in addition to that Part of the blue because if they had negative interest rates It was free money Out of the blue, they just say... We're talking about lowering interest rates. I don't want to get into this too much. No no we're talking about lowering interest rates in this country at almost 50 basis points we are now talking and out of the blue they just raise interest rate like blew everybody's mind. It was great! It caused a collapse but along with that and even though i think the market rocketed back up today who knows what's going on it so every all of that is phony baloney but

CHAPTER 52 / 61 Discussion

AI Tech Bubble, Infrastructure Overinvestment

Analysts from Goldman Sachs and Business Insider warn of a potential burst in the AI bubble. The discussion focuses on the massive capital expenditures by companies like Microsoft and Meta on GPU infrastructure versus the lack of immediate downstream financial benefits.

artificial intelligence· tech bubble· goldman sachs· gpus· microsoft

2:50:54 My Beat, AI is taking a beating. Just a couple of headlines and I have two quick clips The Guardian view on the tech bubble going pop AI pays the price for inflated expectations Is the AI bubble about to burst? AIs too fundamental issues will lead to a bubble pop Goldman Sachs in Business Insider. Yep it's all happening And here's Yahoo News A lot of people who are unsophisticated investors use Yahoo, finance.yahoo.com. So I use it. Case in point- It's the easy way to look at charts. But a lot of unsophisticated investors use it for their news and information. This is... Who was this dude? Patrick Moorhead an analyst. I really see two main-

2:51:49 You know Patrick Moorhead? Patrick Moorhead used to be a very famous public relations guy for AMD. Oh, interesting! Well he's now an analyst I really see two major actually three three major buckets for AI plays the first one is this infrastructure anybody who is related to building out these massive data centers with GPUs in them. I think, are very confident next 12 to 18 months that's going to be the case and we saw the capital expenditure commitments by Microsoft and Meta and Amazon it is absolutely pedal-to-the-metal on that. And then there's the longer term downstream right? The enterprise software providers

2:52:39 that there has to be benefits in a large scale for all this to interconnect because there is just factually an overinvestment in the capability versus the downstream benefits at this point. And if that gear doesn't connect, and let's say 12 months what's going to happen is the investors of these enterprise software companies are going to be asking, you know where's the benefit and have super pressure on these companies to start scaling back. And that is when all bets are off."

CHAPTER 53 / 61 Discussion

AI Smartphones, Consumer Demand, Two-Year Outlook

The potential for "AI smartphones" to drive a new upgrade cycle is debated. While some analysts predict a boom for Apple and Qualcomm, the hosts argue that consumers may not want to pay a premium for "AI tricks." A counter-narrative suggests the AI trend may have two more years of growth before a significant correction.

apple· smartphones· qualcomm· ai· consumer electronics

2:53:23 Every single day I receive emails from dudes named Ben like, oh man we had to implement one of these AI things. It's just a stupid chatbot! Our customers hate it, we hate it, it doesn't work... 20%, 25% 30% of the answers it gives is wrong It's not working. Now, this your buddy Patrick did have an interesting side note here but I think he is reading the tea leaves the wrong way And then the final thing that i want to add is that there still is this untapped opportunity which is AI PC and AI smartphones We saw a little bit on the AI smartphone related to Apple we saw slight bump on that but when you consider there only one generation

2:54:10 of Apple smartphones that can do all the AI tricks out there and then people are going to have to buy new smart phones, new tablets and even new Macs. That's really I think good news for companies like Apple and Qualcomm and even AMD and Intel. I see it exactly the opposite. I don't think a single person is going to want to buy a new phone that costs even more because of AI tricks I think it's gonna hurt Apple. Like, eh...I don't think I want this thing." You have a negative attitude. Of course this is your beat. Very! Very negative attitude. And you are very negative. My son who works in AI Well he thinks it's the best thing No no he says something that we can put in the Red Book and I think he might be right He thinks that

2:55:04 it's got enough legs to go two more years. Wow, two more years? In other words... No! Yeah and most people that see bubbles like you do or this idea of being a bubble head always are premature and I'm guessing he's probably right about the two years now that means we'll have our cable business In place. Yes! Because it's only going to take us about a year to do it Oh wow, that's good Our exit strategy is on deck I love it And then maybe I'll be able afford a better supplier of my Dr Pepper I got another flat can Wow The fact that you have two... Man that was beautiful You timed it beautifully I'm telling ya

CHAPTER 54 / 61 Discussion

Dr Pepper Lawsuit, Equipment Damage, MIDI Controller

A host describes a mishap involving a "flat" can of Dr Pepper that spilled onto a MIDI controller. The incident leads to a humorous discussion about batch numbers and the potential for a lawsuit against the soda company for damaged equipment.

dr pepper· equipment damage· midi controller· lawsuit· sugar water

2:55:59 Having been a can inspector, in more ways than one I would say. But having been a can inspector, I would say the likelihood of running into two bad cans from the same company in your lifetime is remote. It's very... I think my whole life I have run into maybe one bad can ever besides the ones that was inspecting and I saw That's what weird, weird. So here I am trying to look at the batch number and of course... ...I spill it all over my uh that was not good that in fact is very bad because this is sugar

2:56:59 and this sugar water will get into my MIDI controller and we'll ruin it. Would you spill it on the computer? No, the MIDI controller mixer which I use for... Oh well you just said that huh.. There's ways to do it. Do you have any lube or something? Is this like the no I got no lube It's just like the guy with a holding a can. He say, what time is it? And he dumps the can on himself. That's pretty much what I just did like a moron anyway. I think I have a lawsuit on my hands to two cans in one batch is not good. It's not good and it ruined me ruin my equipment anyway from the same bash that you purchased. Oh yeah. Oh, it's like hard disks. Did you get my hard disk by the way

CHAPTER 55 / 61 Discussion

And it is the uh... Where are we? Pin trading, pin trading. Dozens of passionate pin traders and collectors were fervently exchanging pins in the heart of Paris last week many call it an unofficial Olympic sport

The best thing you want to trade is to come to an event with pins that you have to trade If you can buy them at stores here, they're very expensive. But if you can buy them cheaper on eBay people will buy them in bulk and eBay older pins and bring them and trade them." Reid has been trading pins since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. It's the unofficial sport of the Olympics. There are thousands of people that bin trade. There are probably more bin traders than there are athletes if you think about it that way I mean we set this up today and there was no advertising We just put something on Facebook

3:19:58 The pin trading fair gathers traders from all around the world, all drawn by the allure of the Olympics. This year, the area was bustling with people eager to make a good trade. you're kind of getting stuff from all over the world. And that's really cool!

3:21:15 The tip is to buy your pins in advance from eBay and then take them there, basically at wholesale. Okay great tip John! I have a second tip or i can push the second tip off because we're running out of time... No no no, I need to hear the tip, I need more tips. Oh you would? So I'm in Slovenia floating around And they bring up an interesting point, and this is the tip. They claim in Slovenia that pumpkin seed oil if you ingest it...and they have it like any restaurant there and the salad bars always have like the oil and vinegar but they also have a big thing of pumpkin seed oil that you put on the salad

3:22:05 And they claim that pumpkin seed, you use pumpkin seed oil and this is not I'm not giving medical advice. But they sincerely believe that pumpkin seed oil prevents prostate cancer. Wow! They're just, they adhere to this belief that pumpkin seed oil no prostate cancer and so use it a lot. So they use it on the salads and I actually use it myself kind of believing this possibility you know got a healthy prostate. There's another butt tip from John C Devorak! And so here is the, Amazon has it there's like French company that sells it

3:22:46 And by the way, they sell it in a small can. You can just look up pumpkin seed oil on Amazon or you can find it at some stores. Can't you just eat pumpkin seeds? Will that do it too? Or... Oh, you won't get as much oil as you do from these. Just use...you're gonna have to eat tons of them and be sick. The point is that this pumpkin seed oil is quite good on a salad. It's very strong flavored oil and it's very nice raw on a salad. And the thing irksome is that I looked into the idea of importing pumpkin seed oil and it's like an industrial waste. Yeah, I was gonna say! It's sludge in Slovenia

3:23:24 And it's like you could get 10 gallons for a dollar kind of thing, but when the French make it in their little cans is like 15 bucks for small can. So I think its pretty pricey considering what... Once again considering what its really used for It's another lube story You can't get off a lube That's what they use it for All you see is lube There you go, everybody.

Uh...it-It's really interesting to see a vice presidential pick generate this kind of extra energy boost you know we all talk about do no harm with the pick or maybe have an impact on a particular state um and pairing is actually quite magical How you feel about Trump calling Kamala Harris a bum? She is. She's one of those career prosecutors that suffers from character deficits. Don't do this! She's one of these people that has absolutely no connection with what the hell was going on, she's in her 20s and Willie Brown

3:26:08 He means what he says, we don't take him seriously. They're gonna count the votes, right? Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025.
