About this episode

The Harris-Walz campaign faces mounting scrutiny over the alleged use of AI-generated imagery to inflate crowd sizes at airplane hangar events. While media figures like Michael Steele and Joy Reid defend the optics as a successful psychological tactic against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee has countered with his own controversial claims, including a disputed account of a near-fatal helicopter crash involving former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

Political maneuvering intensifies as Kamala Harris adopts a 'no taxes on tips' policy in Las Vegas, a move previously championed by Trump. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has publicly questioned the authenticity of Joe Biden's withdrawal letter, noting its lack of official White House branding. In the legal sphere, the FBI raid on Scott Ritter's home and the placement of Tulsi Gabbard on the TSA 'Quiet Skies' watchlist suggest a widening crackdown on political dissidents. Internationally, Ukrainian forces have launched a surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region, while a tragic Voepass ATR-72 crash in Brazil highlights ongoing safety concerns regarding aircraft icing.

Distinctive moments include a look at Waymo autonomous vehicles waking up San Francisco residents with 4:00 AM honking fits and the rise of the 'AI Bigot' movement among consumers. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also explore the 'Hare and Hooker Index' as a measure of the current economic downturn while recognizing new executive producers like Sir Cross-threaded Wheel Stud.

Harris Campaign, AI Crowd Images and Media Narratives

The Harris-Walz campaign is accused of using AI-generated or deceptively cropped photos to inflate crowd sizes at airplane hangar events. While an Associated Press photo was identified as the source of one controversial image, no direct evidence confirms the campaign officially posted the doctored versions. Media figures like Michael Steele and Joy Reid are noted for claiming these tactics are successfully "getting under the skin" of Donald Trump.

00:01 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak This is no agenda I spent a significant time looking at that yesterday. That? At the throngs of people

00:42 Well, there's more than one or two examples. Here is the only thing I cannot find any evidence the Harris campaign has actually posted any of these pictures seems to me that people are making them and then saying look what they posted! Does that include the airplane one? Yeah, which is my favorite. Yeah the airplane I found the origin of the airplane one It's an AP picture and The way it was done Is there I guess they're copying everything The Harris campaign Harris waltz Hey Waltz campaign hairy balls Harry There you go hairy balls their

01:29 They're doing hangar appearances. So it was a shot that was cropped, it was a shot from the back of a hanger that was cropped and that by itself already gives an illusion that people are all the way up to the plane And then you know there's probably some other stuff put in there but I did Google image, I tried everything I could...I couldn't find any evidence that the Harris campaign The Harry Balls campaign actually posted that picture That's my problem with it I haven't done that research and uh, i think a lot of this stuff eventually will originate on Facebook so you'd have to go to Facebook to do this and you don't know. That's a good point that's a good point some producers have been looking for me and they they haven't got much further than the AP picture either although it doesn't look like the AP picture has been doctored

02:23 But there's a lot of shenanigans going on. There's, you know... They're doing appearances in free concerts with some Spotify Latino star and then they'll do a little pregame so yeah but ultimately it's kind of working because I think Trump is responding oh that's not true it's fake! So they're kind of getting under his skin with all this nonsense That's a meme What's it mean? I'm not absolutely sure they're getting under his skin, but i keep hearing that on CNBC and yeah well now or CNN and MSNBC that he's getting under his skin. In fact today that guy Steele the black guy who used to be a Republican... He used to be the head of the Republican Party! Yeah which was a sign of a bad sign since he never was a Republican it seems now he is the substitute host for Jen Psaki

03:21 Well of course, he's always on MSNBC. He does Sunday mornings with Robin Sanders who used to run the Bernie campaign Oh yeah! He is always on that show So this morning he was going on and about getting under Trumps skin I thought he had responded to the crowd size. I don't have proof of that, but I do have proof of them saying that and now you mention it right away we have to discredit it

CHAPTER 02 / 43 Discussion

Donald Trump, Willie Brown Helicopter Story and Crowd Size Obsessions

Donald Trump claimed during a press conference that he survived a near-fatal helicopter crash with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Investigations into NTSB and ATC records suggest the event likely involved Jerry Brown or Gavin Newsom during wildfire surveys rather than Willie Brown. Trump also drew criticism for comparing his January 6th rally attendance to the crowd size of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

donald trump· willie brown· jerry brown· gavin newsom· martin luther king jr

03:57 Here's Joy Reid. I want to play this lie that Donald Trump did in his string of lies yesterday, the string of lies show title already everybody sundowning press conference said he did This is a story He told about Willie Brown shouldn't it be the necklace of lies or something? I mean string of lies Let's keep it Oh yeah This is the Willie Brown stories as funny and I want you all to note that he talked about Willie Brown All right Take a listen. I know Willie Brown very well In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this is the end he told me terrible things about her Okay That's not who he meant was never in a helicopter Willie Brown Willie Brown came out with his statement He laughed when you heard Trump's allegations that he's nothing but respect and admiration for Kamala Harris vice president Harris Willie Brown says he looks forward to electing her to be the president says the debate will probably be unfair because he has because Trump is so inept The brown that um, he meant

04:54 It was Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown, who is the governor but said that he's never said anything bad about Vice President Harris either it was Gavin Newsom who was in a helicopter with Trump when they were surveying wildfire damage and he said that he remembers Trump worrying about the helicopter crashing calling the town pleasure instead of paradise and suggesting California rake its forests. Trump never had an emergency landing in a helicopter Okay so I played the wrong clip because I have the crowd clip we'll play that in a minute but since we're on this Couple of things string of lies there was actually been two in well There was a horrible crash with the Trump helicopter in 89 where you know everyone died

05:34 But he had a tail strike when he was on it. There was another instance when Ivanka and Jared had an engine issue, so it's not like he's never had a problem in the helicopter but I could not find...I have my fly boys looking we're trying to find ATC We're trying to find NTSB reports. I cannot find any emergency landing from any Trump helicopter other than those two times but Trump seems to be adamant about it That would be pretty stupid if you didn't know. I think you remember something like that, but i watched like 20 minutes of Willie Brown interview which is not even worth clipping. He doesn't deny it he just says no no no he doesn't know what he's talking about. He didn't deny it at any point in that if you saw that in the restaurant does Willie Brown just live in the restaurant in San Francisco? Seems like he's in there during the day everyone's putting the tablecloths on and he's like yeah well Mr. Brown your tables ready

06:34 Well, in the olden days when Starz was still in business which was the restaurant to go to. I went there a number of times with Mimi and Willie Brown was always there Yeah so it's more likely that didn't happen because Willie Brown lives in the restaurant than Trump is lying Here's the small crowd clip. This is from CNN. Yesterday, Trump went so far this is why we're talking about this today he compared the attendance of the rally that he held on January 6th 2021 which of course was right before the Capitol insurrection many those people walked down to the mall at the Capitol to one of the most iconic speeches that has been delivered here in America

07:17 Look at Martin Luther King when he did his speech, his great speech. And you look at ours same real estate same everything same number of people if not we had more This is a whole new level. MLK! The thing about his obsession with crowds, uh...is you know my mother always taught me when a man is arguing about size of anything in this case crowds where there's an obsession. It was a family morning show. It is I'm just saying and all I am going to say he's probably insecure that's I'll just put leave it there I think women know what I'm talking about whether it's your car or its your crowd its your yeah whatever

CHAPTER 03 / 43 Discussion

Kamala Harris, No Taxes on Tips Policy Adoption

Kamala Harris announced a policy proposal to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers during a rally in Las Vegas. This move mirrors a proposal previously championed by Donald Trump a month earlier. The strategy is compared to the "Bill Clinton trick" of co-opting popular Republican ideas to neutralize political opposition.

kamala harris· donald trump· bill clinton· nevada· service workers

07:58 Yeah, yeah. So that's probably the only thing he said about it so they are trying to bring back a lot of stuff seems like you know the media is really... I can only think of it this way we screwed up before can we go back and take a look at what we did? And re-jigger it maybe that'll make a difference They're definitely preoccupied I mean, it was even difficult to get other topics for today. It's just like what is going on? It's like everyone has hair on fire running around on social media. You turn on the television and same thing... This was interesting though we know that in Nevada which is the big service sector Trump almost a month ago at this point

08:56 He told his whole story about this waitress, server. And he was like Mr Trump is so hard and you know me says how about this? I've got an idea! How about no taxes on tips?! So when Kamala Harris when Harry Ball's was in Vegas that this is what happened Vice President Harris touchdown Oops sorry this one And it is my promise to everyone here When I am president we will continue our fight for working families of America including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. That's pretty awesome just take it from Trump and just lay it out there like it's something new I was good

09:53 I would have advised that. That was the Bill Clinton trick. Oh, do tell what he meant. Bill Clinton they always said was the best Republican candidate the Democrats ever put in there He would do that constantly Whatever the idea was from the other side of the aisle... ...He'd make it his! And he did it very consistently and after a while said well okay It's good! To what you do? I can't falter for just like not bad at all Well done CBS, though they were doing...they did a kind of an excellent propaganda piece with poll numbers and also what's really good now is they're doing the picture of Kamala versus Trump.

CHAPTER 04 / 43 Discussion

CBS News, Media Propaganda and Trump Campaign Hack

CBS News is criticized for using contrasting imagery of a joyful Kamala Harris versus a "grumpy" Trump mugshot in its reporting. Additionally, the Trump campaign reported a breach of internal research documents, including a vetting file on JD Vance. The campaign and Microsoft have attributed the hack to Iranian actors, though the documents were first leaked to Politico.

cbs news· celine dion· politico· iran· cyberattack

10:41 And so Kamala is all smiley and joyful, and Trump it's the grumpy. It's the picture from the mug shot. So you just look at it and see oh happy over here, mean mad guy over here with all kinds of... I mean just listen to it and you'll see what they're doing over CBS. Vice President Harris touched down in Las Vegas Saturday and rallied supporters with a running mate Tim Walz help this November we will win. It capped a week-long battleground blitz with packed arenas listening to her take on former President Trump. I know Donald Trump's tight, but she shut down the crowd when they chanted lock him up about Trump. The court is going to take care of that! We just don't beat them in November

11:33 A new New York Times Siena College poll finds Harris ahead among likely voters in three key states, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Former President Trump held fundraisers in Wyoming and Colorado Saturday after a Montana rally Friday night. We're going to evict crazy Kamala. But this moment before Trump spoke is grabbing attention. Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On played for the crowd. The singer released a statement saying, in no way is this use authorized and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar news. Meanwhile the Trump campaign says it was hacked. Politico first reported receiving internal campaign research documents from an anonymous sender. The Trump campaigns suggesting Iran may be behind the hack Now this was rather interesting First of all we've got

CHAPTER 05 / 43 Discussion

Microsoft, Intelligence Community and the Iran Hack Narrative

The attribution of the Trump campaign hack to Iran is viewed with skepticism, suggesting it may be a narrative pushed by the intelligence community. Microsoft's recent deal with Palantir to provide AI to the intelligence community is highlighted as a reason for distrust. Former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden is noted for his vocal opposition to Trump on social media.

microsoft· palantir· nsa· michael hayden· politico

12:31 some spokesman from the Trump camp saying, we were hacked by Iran. Huh? Microsoft coming out immediately oh yeah no there was a and they always do this spear phishing don't we just say fishing why does the media always say spear fishing because supposedly it's because it's targeted as opposed to mass mailing, I guess. I don't know why they do that. It's odd by the way Trump should just call her Kooky Kamala this crazy camel is no good. Kooky would be better He's still fishing around for some...I don't get why he hasn't used cackling That's the one we both think is better Cackling but kooky would work The Iran thing is kind of interesting because in

13:19 security circles, Iran is notorious for being possibly better hackers than the Ukrainians. And I suppose they'd rather have Kamala in and...I don't know what the deal is with this particular hack. Well, I think it's to me first of all Microsoft comes out right away Microsoft, you know is notorious. They're leaky as a sieve so they also just did a deal with... where is it here? They just did a deal with Palantir to sell AI systems into the intelligence community

14:01 You know, and Microsoft just can't be trusted. I mean come on we got back doors that go right straight to the NSA so and what was that what actually came out again it's ProPublica the same guys who did the you know Russia all the rushing Russian information they can't be trusted here yeah So to me it's more like, and what came out? Oh we have 271 pages on research on JD Vance. One portion which was marked possible vulnerabilities. Yeah hello that's what you do when you vet a candidate! Totally that's exactly all you do so this document is not interesting but it could be a little signal because that's the one thing everyone forgets is the intelligence community

14:48 They hate Trump the most. I really have to believe that, you know they like to be in control of the military industrial complex even big pharma to a degree. Now i think he's got MIC kind of placated with his iron dome over America imagine what that is going to cost us? You know big beautiful ships So, you know like Trump will get our money. We don't have to go to war maybe I think they're okay but the intelligence agencies just as they were saying well this is all Russian disinformation now it's like oh Iran did it Oh yeah Iran who knows and now gives them the opportunity To put out some other bogus stuff and just say oh that's from the Iran hack You know what I mean?

15:40 Totally, totally and I hate to use that word. You know I ran into Michael Hayden... Totally? Totally! The bald guy Michael Hayden who's also one of the big signees on that 51 guys... Wait a minute you ran into him?! No, I ran into his post on Twitter. Oh okay He has an account On Twitter And it might as well just be Rob Reiner He is totally preoccupied with hating on Trump and extolling the virtues of Kamala It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen. People should look it up and it's got a checkmark, it says General Michael Hayden or whatever he is. He was an Air Force general, I guess. And he goes on and on...He was head of the CIA AND NSA! And he's just nuts!! Yeah well again those guys like to run everything. CIA ran Obama? Well I can totally see that.

16:37 A shorty, same thing I guess. Same story. The Trump campaign also announced today it was hacked! The breach was first reported by Politico which received internal documents from an anonymous account the Trump campaign is now blaming hackers from Iran Wait a minute... Oh sorry, Politico? I thought it was ProPublica. Politico... Hmm Yeah, it was Politico. Wait what is this? I thought you were talking about ProPublica doing something else. They're always involved in something. The Trump campaign also announced today it was hacked! The breach was first reported by Politico which received internal documents from an anonymous account the Trump campaign is now blaming hackers from Iran Yes, I remember one of her sayings It was from a AOL.com account and I can tell you with some

17:25 authority that many former intelligence people and current intelligence people use AOL.com accounts so why I don't know if have no idea maybe because back when the Code could be code. Maybe back in the day when the AOL accounts were available, you know who had an AOL account? Pachanik. Pachanik had an AOL account there's other guys this for some reason they have AOL accounts so I'm not sure... I didn't even know it. I probably still have an AOL account

CHAPTER 06 / 43 Discussion

Glenn Greenwald, Animal Farm and Political Rhetoric

Glenn Greenwald compared Kamala Harris's "I'm speaking" retort to protesters to a passage from George Orwell's *Animal Farm*. The comparison suggests that modern political leaders use the threat of an opponent's return—likened to Farmer Jones in the novel—to justify their own authority and dismiss internal dissent.

glenn greenwald· george orwell· animal farm· kamala harris· political satire

18:04 I had Dvorak at AOL.com but i don't know how to access it. I can't get to AOL anymore, I have no idea, doesn't know remembering a password. Yeah, don't know how to do it anymore. Glenn Greenwald made a good observation about Kamala Harris Which and I'll revamp this clip that we played two shows ago remember when the when the protesters? Started yelling at her, and she said I'm talking you know. I'll play it again It's just short tax breaks to billionaires in big corporations Social Security and Medicare

18:45 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 Greenwald posted a page from animal farm classic classic novel Orwell's animal form Animal Farm And I'll read it to you. We pigs are brain workers, the whole management and organization of this farm depend on us day and night we are watching over your welfare It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Farmer Jones would come back! Yes Jones would come back! Surely comrades cried squealer almost pleadingly skipping from side-to-side and whisking his tail surely there's no one among you who wants to see Jones come back

CHAPTER 07 / 43 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden Resignation Letter Discrepancy

Nancy Pelosi expressed public doubt regarding the authenticity of Joe Biden's withdrawal letter, noting it did not use White House letterhead and didn't "sound like" the President. While Mike Donilon, brother of BlackRock's Tom Donilon, is credited with writing the letter, the lack of formal presidential branding has fueled speculation about the circumstances of Biden's exit from the race.

nancy pelosi· joe biden· mike donilon· blackrock· white house

19:39 Very good observation from Greenwald. That is, the pigs and animal farm is fantastic! Yeah well that's what it looks like. Now amidst all this I've had a couple of thoughts about this when actually was Nancy Pelosi popped up this morning in my feed with...I'm not sure who she is? She has been showing up everywhere Yes And you've got to wonder why. Let me see, this was... I want to stop as you go on to this. You have to wonder why? Is it possible that Biden is going to rebuke his being kicked out? Wait! I have a thought about that listen to what Pelosi says here

20:30 And this is about the letter that appeared on a Thursday right at the beginning of our show day. No White House letterhead, looked like a signature that was at least not what he has used before so possibly forged and here's what she said this just came in this morning I didn't accept the letter as anything but a letter I mean, and there are some people who were unhappy with the letter. Let me say it again Some said that some people were unhappy with the letter. I'll put it in somebody else's mouth because it was a... It didn't sound like Joe Biden to me. It really didn't So what is she saying here? She's saying that Joe Biden didn't write it? That Jill might have written it or someone else? Well actually if you start looking into it Mike Donald wrote the letter

21:24 That's his campaign guy. It was no Mike Mike Donald is more in his campaign guy if you look him up in the Wikipedia You'll find out that Mike Donald and who is the brother of Tom Donilon? Blackrock The two brothers are in it together Tom Donald is the one who uh-oh Seymour Hersh thinks is running everything. But Mike Donilon is the guy that's in the White House, he takes credit for writing the letter He said so much... It's not like a big mystery I don't know why this is becoming a mystery to everybody Nobody wants to talk about this guy

22:05 I mean he's been running Biden since 81 or so, it's all listed in there. He was also Bill Clinton's...he was in Clinton chief of staff for the State Department? It says Chief of Staff in former Bill Clinton State Department, former National Security Advisor to Obama, there you go Yeah, no this guy's running things. And he if you look around admits that he wrote the letter Oh I didn't see that i didn't know that well why is Nancy Pelosi being so weird about it If its out there that he wrote the letter? I don't know where she gets...she's weird about something and Donalyn quit left

CHAPTER 08 / 43 Discussion

Biden Convention Scenarios, Veep Parallels and Political Speculation

Speculation regarding the Democratic National Convention includes theories that Joe Biden might attempt to reclaim his nomination or that his health may fail publicly. Parallels are drawn to the television show *Veep* and reports in the *National Enquirer* regarding Biden's mental state. There is further discussion on whether Barack Obama orchestrated a "rug pull" to install a different candidate.

joe biden· jill biden· barack obama· national enquirer· veep

22:46 in January and then came, he supposedly quit in January but yet he wrote the letter which was in July so he's never really left. He's just still hanging around and now they have Paul Podesta and people like that running the show this something is very fishy about all this well um... And I'm liking the idea that Biden's gonna come out on the first day of the convention says hey! I didn't quit, I never wrote that letter yeah want my votes back hello it could be that or I mean, you know, I've been watching Veep. We've been binge-watching Veep in synchronous... Yes, you're using this as the parallel universe to analyze the situation currently underway. And last night we got to the episode where Selena Meyer is campaigning for president and she has a debate and she comes in second some douchebag baseball coach does much better

23:42 And then all of a sudden, she gets word the president is going to resign because his wife keeps trying to commit suicide and she's going to be president. Wouldn't that be so there's two ways and remember I also watch Dave. I mean all this stuff just keeps popping up for me It's like you know, so the options are Biden keels over dead At the right at the beginning because he scheduled to speak on the first night think so He keels over You know or dad just keels over Or that was that daddy longlegs guy comes in and keels over That could be one option The other is buying comes out and says hey

24:20 This guy, like you said, I want my votes back. That didn't do it either! Or he just says you know? I'm looking at the National Enquirer which i picked up at HEB because that now is that still Trump's guys who run the National Enquirer yeah yeah so front page real reason Biden quit It's not what you think! Untold story. So... Well, there you go there's your teaser got you to buy it Yeah of course well I was reading it and the article is almost at the end And so I'm reading it as the belt is going and I felt like such a douche I'm like okay I guess that's the buy-in now because they can see me leafing through the whole thing but then they have oh

25:05 Old Joe won't last four more years. Shocking reason Biden quit presidential race and then they have some psychologist, Holly Schiff who basically says now he's got dementia. Well what was... What reason was there otherwise? I mean that that was a fake... That was bogus! Wow! That is a breakthrough thought. It's bogus totally bogus now well the possibility i kind of agree with these different scenarios and we have to be but we got till the 19th to keep dreaming them up. But the other possibility is that... you know, that he realized. I think it now as I look back on the debate, I think they, you know cause they're always going to get jacked up Joe's was missing and we were always wondering why is it possible that they actually gave him a sedative instead of his normal amphetamine cocktail or whatever they do to get him jacked up? So so he was out there just having you in a daze and you just don't what to do. He figures this out

26:05 He gets rid of the doctors who screwed him over for the debate, gets another guy you know Dr. Feelgood character in there to jack him up so he is all wired to the gills on the 19th and that's when he freaks out and wants his votes back this could be fun It's very possible I went to YouTube let me see where is Joe what's he doing because we haven't heard much about Joe And it's really not Joe, it's really Jill.

26:51 In March of 2023, the first lady visited the Louisiana Cancer Research Center in New Orleans to stress the importance of cancer research. Remember Dr Jill? She should have been Surgeon General because she's a great doctor according to Whoopi Goldberg. So they're still out there and they're still the then immediately there's all kinds of issues that come into play. A, first of all Trumps merchandise sucks he has to redo all that can basically up the GDP of China for all the new hats Second can she then be blamed for everything thats happening? Can she even campaign as much with two wars and Iran and all this stuff going on

27:55 And could that be a rug pull from Obama? Who knows. I mean we're just dreaming here, but man... I know we're having nothing but fun. Yeah it's true! We are dreaming up screwball ideas and scenarios that could happen any one of them could happen yeah But i don't hear anyone else coming up with these screwball ideas just us I don't know why, well it's because you got the partisan media. If they were a-partisan like The No Agenda Show where we don't really take necessarily sides We just look for explanations that make sense

CHAPTER 09 / 43 Discussion

RFK Jr., DNC Ballot Access Lawsuits

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reported that the DNC is actively suing to remove him from ballots in New York and other states despite his campaign gathering over a million signatures nationally. Kennedy criticized the modern Democratic Party for moving away from the voting rights principles championed by his father and uncle.

rfk jr· dnc· robert f. kennedy jr· ballot access· new york

28:33 Yeah, a lot of this makes sense if you think about it. I mean there It was presented by Trump that Biden might do that Yes And what's it but once that thought is triggered then you have to take it to some? You know some logical extreme and say well What happens if he does this or that and then well what would happen if if Biden went and said I want my votes back chaos Well Then there's the lone wolf out there who showed up on, for some reason now a No Agenda fan favorite, Jesse Watters. And I always... It's your turn. The ball is in your court, now it's your turn to play Jesse Waters clip But I cut him out of my clips Here's Bobby the Op We finished a trial today we had one week trial in Albany The DNC is trying to get me off the ballot in New York State and then all the other states so they're essentially suing me in every state

29:30 In order to get on the ballot in this state, they made so many signatures. You need to get 47 thousand signatures in 45 days They tried to make it insurmountable. We got 150,000 signatures we got a million signatures nationally and we're now on the ballot on all... we are have enough signatures now to get on the ballot in every state something everybody said we couldn't do there's a million Americans who want to vote who want to see my name on the ballot but the DNC strategy is to make sure that they will not see me on about my father and uncle when they were running the Democratic Party

30:09 Their big objective was to make sure that every American could vote. And today the DNC is about making sure that people don't have that opportunity. Now if it's true what he's saying, why? Why are they so worried about him other than man Joe could do something really wacky and then Bobby The Op might pop up all of a sudden I think a lot of people are so sick of everything They'd be like, the most sane guy right now seems to be RFK Jr. Rogan would come out for him lots of people would say yeah this guy's the only guy who's talking even though there's a lot of problems with him you know what I mean? Yeah well they just worry he's going to siphon votes away from the democrat ticket yeah i don't think it's any more to it than that maybe we don't know

CHAPTER 10 / 43 Discussion

Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris Endorsement Rumors

Speculation has circulated online regarding a potential Taylor Swift endorsement of Kamala Harris based on a silhouette in an Instagram post. The discussion dismisses the political weight of celebrity endorsements while joking about the voting age of "Swifties."

taylor swift· kamala harris· instagram· celebrity endorsement· voters

30:54 I mean Jill Stein's not gonna suck her any votes away anymore. Mary Ann Williamson, here is the Swift op somewhat in play. And it is my promise to everyone here when I am president... Oh sorry wrong one. Yeah, I'm sucking. I'm sucking man! You're falling apart. Did Taylor Swift endorse Kamala Harris? The megastar has yet to make a public endorsement but fans think an Instagram post from two days ago on Swift's account contained a silhouette eerily similar to Kamala Harris as a telltale sign. Ooh, telltale sign! Eerily similar...hmmm...hmmmm Who cares what Taylor Swift's gonna do? Well she has all those 13 year olds who can vote it's very important I par- uh Oh they can vote if its the Democrat state If they're 13? Oh any age doesn't matter

31:52 Six. You're good kid, come on in! Do you know your address? Can you tell me your address? You don't need to see it, just show ID and don't worry about it I have two more Pelosi clips that maybe there's something in here we can glean because she was... She is everywhere suddenly saying that thing about Biden There's something going this way This is what makes me think somethings up because Why? Why is she anywhere? Well, here's... And they always call her the Speaker Emeritus. When did that title show up?! Do they call Kevin McCarthy the speaker emeritus? And am I the VJ Emeritus? Yeah, you would be by their standards. Are you columnist emeritus for PC Magazine? Emeritis yeah, I'm a PC magazine emeritus. I like it! I like Vijay Emeritus i'm going to use that from now on hello Adam Curry It actually sounds like a good name for guys doing uh mixing yeah

CHAPTER 11 / 43 Discussion

Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Political Dynasty and Joy Reid

Nancy Pelosi appeared on Joy Reid's program to discuss the "intellectual resource" of the San Francisco Bay Area, which has produced figures like Dianne Feinstein, Jerry Brown, and Kamala Harris. Pelosi praised Harris's political astuteness in her rise from District Attorney to the Vice Presidency.

31:52 Six. You're good kid, come on in! Do you know your address? Can you tell me your address? You don't need to see it, just show ID and don't worry about it I have two more Pelosi clips that maybe there's something in here we can glean because she was... She is everywhere suddenly saying that thing about Biden There's something going this way This is what makes me think somethings up because Why? Why is she anywhere? Well, here's... And they always call her the Speaker Emeritus. When did that title show up?! Do they call Kevin McCarthy the speaker emeritus? And am I the VJ Emeritus? Yeah, you would be by their standards. Are you columnist emeritus for PC Magazine? Emeritis yeah, I'm a PC magazine emeritus. I like it! I like Vijay Emeritus i'm going to use that from now on hello Adam Curry It actually sounds like a good name for guys doing uh mixing yeah

32:50 Mixologist. I should have... Mixologists specifically for mixing drinks, never mind. When Joe, Lara Logan's husband introduced me to General Flynn he should have said this is a Vijay Emeritus. Oh! The right honorable Adam Curry? Vijay Emeritus... Here's Joy Reid again with Nancy I do want to talk a little bit about that you're from San- emerge from that San Francisco political world of course you are from Baltimore and Bmore but you know you're equal in San Francisco and there's something about the Bay Area Let me just list BMore Baltimore is BMORE I've never heard be more. Maybe it's a Joy Reed thing, I don't know. Be more! You came up in San Francisco and there is something about the Bay Area let me just list them The great late Harvey Milk Diane Feinstein Jerry Brown the former governor yourself speaker Pelosi Gavin Newsom the current governor and of course Vice President Harris what are they putting in the water? In the bay area that creates so many powerful people

33:53 Don't forget Barbara Boxer. We're so proud of her as well. Wait a minute, Kamala is from... she's from Oakland not San Francisco or do you consider that to be the San Francisco? The same water as uh... does San Francisco have the same water as Oakland Yeah, Hetchy. One of the things that is in the water is that we're an intellectual resource and almost every issue you can name it's a hotbed of activity whether talking about saving the planet saving our rights fairness in every way in our economy but we also are

34:31 Respect each other. We are not all in the same place on the spectrum, we don't always agree but respect each other and do not take down anybody so were always building strength We respect each other, everybody that... Respect. She says respect. No but I'm saying respect. Here's the second part. Kamala you have to give her credit she is politically astute she won a tough district attorney race you want it tough Attorney General race and then of course it got easier for the speaker excuse me the Senate race and now Running for president of the United States. So wait a minute, what does that mean easier for the Senate race? Why was it easier for did she just step into it I can't remember I believe she stepped into it is it did someone died in I think maybe Feinstein died and they just put her in temporarily And then she ran because you know She was an incumbent which was the Obama's time guessing I'm not I don't know this for a fact if I don't remember that sequence of events necessarily well If you're if you recall

35:36 Obama became senator when they took that Star Trek Deep Space 9, Seven of Nine lady and came up with the whole scenario where my husband rapes me. The Six Cult or whatever it was. Whatever that was? Yes. Yeah. All right here's the rest. Officially strong... Something about her! Personally well you know personally a person of values and politically astute Let's talk about some of the things that you've written. We like to think that whether it's in the water or in the air, or just our tradition and the Bay Area we're very proud of positions we take and friendships we develop and respect for differences of opinion What is she signaling here? Is this a San Francisco Reid Hoffman deal? I have some clips that might explain some of it because Newsom is going after the homeless

CHAPTER 12 / 43 Discussion

Gavin Newsom, California Election Integrity and 2028 Ambitions

Gavin Newsom is viewed as positioning himself for a 2028 presidential run by cleaning up California's public image. Concerns are raised regarding the integrity of mail-in ballot systems in Washington, Oregon, and California. Speculation continues that Newsom could still be "slipped in" as a candidate if the current Democratic ticket falters.

gavin newsom· california· mail-in ballots· barack obama· presidential election

36:32 Well, yeah he's throwing him out. He is throwing into the bay we don't even know where he is putting him. Throwing them into the bay? That's insane! He has got a ramped...He is looking for 2028 as are two or three other of these Democrats including Whitmer for president and I think Shapiro is probably one of them And so he's going to try to clean up the state and he has four years to do it. So, starting with the homeless? Yeah! We can play these clips when you're done with your... No no let's... Well, the only other thing is Kamala Harris ran against Sanchez. It wasn't handed to her but it was a landslide 68-30 something. Yeah well that's because its rigged

37:23 I hate to say that, but California elections are rigged. Yeah let's do it. Let's do it. And so in California...I've said this before the states where you have rigged election got Washington State nobody likes these people that are running Washington state but they get in with big votes all the time because all mail-in ballots those very easy to corrupt everyone just been studied to death everybody knows mail-in ballots or no good California also relies on them To an extent, Washington is 100%. So 100% mail-in ballots in Washington state. So they've captured Washington State. Oregon's similar California is similar. They did capture it doesn't need to be that bad like it is in Washington. Minnesota has captured I have always felt that Massachusetts and Illinois for sure totally corrupt. So let's just go back to Biden doing something unexpected that they may be expecting

38:17 And maybe this is, I didn't see the whole interview so maybe she talked about Newsom. But if you've got Kamala Harris all of a sudden being president wouldn't that be a moment for Newsom to pop in and say hey let me take it over baby? How's he gonna do that just by saying exactly that this is Democrat Party! You can vote when you're 13 you can just step in say hey let me take it over baby I think originally when Obama came up with the scheme to get rid of Biden, we have to assume that scenario is true. And then Biden screwed him by announcing that Kamala's going to be the candidate and people always say the following analysis goes like this well you can't bring in Newsom because you got a woman of color at the top of the ticket and she's the next one in line who have to give it to her

39:09 And so you have to take that argument and say, well how would Obama manage to get around this? this situation. Obama could do it, Obama could ordain anybody and come out him and Michelle can come out and say this is the way it should be. Yes I command so... It doesn't matter if he's a black guy or white guy, it doesn't matter if Obama... Listen! If Kamala becomes president even for the next what is it? The next four months We had our black female president. That would be great, and she... you yourself said she's lazy She doesn't want to do anything And then think about it I was the first female not just female but black

39:59 President, she is rich for the rest of her life. Can go off do her own thing and then she could even say you know I've got two wars here i'm gonna take care stuff by the way no taxes on tips and here's Newsom to run. I know I am going off kilter here but Why not? I think it's premature for Newsom to be honest about it because he still has the California City. This is why he started cleaning up the place, because its hanging over his head like a sword of Damocles! The homeless situation in California is out of control and there's no way you can run... but four years from now when it's all cleaned up and he takes credit for it

CHAPTER 13 / 43 Discussion

Gavin Newsom, Homeless Encampment Executive Order

Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order urging California cities and counties to remove homeless encampments, threatening to withhold state funding from non-compliant jurisdictions. NPR reporting highlights the tension between Newsom and progressive local leaders, particularly in Los Angeles, over the lack of available housing and shelter beds.

gavin newsom· homelessness· npr· los angeles· executive order

40:42 It's a different story. So I don't think you can slip Newsome in at this point, you can slip somebody else in but no they're stuck with this woman. Okay all right well let's hear your Newsome clips Well, here's Newsom going after the homeless and it has become somewhat controversial. Here is clip one Two weeks ago California Governor Gavin Newsom put out an executive order He urged cities and counties in the state to remove homeless encampments This past week he upped the pressure saying he would take state funding away from counties that didn't show quote demonstrable results It is a move that puts the Democratic governor closer to conservatives on this issue than to progressives in his own party

41:23 To break down the details and politics of this, I'm joined by reporter Anna Scott in Los Angeles. She covers housing and homelessness with the California Newsroom which is a collaboration of NPR stations in the state. Hey Anna! Hey! So Anna, the governor said that he would cut counties off from state funding if they didn't cooperate Is this a real threat? Did he give any specifics on this? Oh my god, this is NPR isn't it? And how did they learn to talk like this? Yeah, I think it's a real threat. Not a lot of specifics yet but the state provides a lot of funding to cities and counties for all sorts of different efforts to fight homelessness The Newsom administration has spent around 24 billion dollars in fact on this for things like buying commercial buildings to turn into housing or funding new shelter beds to name just two

42:12 two things of many. He didn't threaten to cut any particular funding stream yet from any specific place, but his office told me he's ready to redirect money away from any county that is not meeting milestones set by the state and he did call out Los Angeles County specifically and said leaders here need to act with more urgency on this issue. Question what county does is that favela spot you've got picked out? Well, if San Francisco is San Francisco County so just south of that I believe that would be in San Mateo County. So he could say you know what no money for you here's a favela? Well i don't think he's not...I don't think he's got the favela mentality yet. Yet! He needs to talk to your governor because you've got some good ideas

43:06 He's the idea of a favela there in South San Francisco is probably The best spot to do to do the experiment and of course Hollywood sign in Los Angeles And the Hollywood sign lost as that whole area is right for vela ready It's for vela ready debt now. There's this show title Ready yes, we're velo ready with this plenty of places in LA that are favela already yeah All right, part two. So Anna what exactly is Governor Newsom wanting counties to do that they're not already doing? Well it's not completely clear other than get rid of more encampments but the problem is people need places to go and we're short on affordable housing were short on shelter beds here in LA County now LA has made a lot of progress in recent years on adding beds and affordable housing units but the problem is in spite of that progress

44:04 It's really not visible yet to most people who are walking around and looking at this terrible crisis on the streets. So then in that case, what would make a visible difference here? Just more housing for everyone? Yes! More housing—that's the simple answer because that is at the root of the crisis—a shortage of cheap places to live that has built up over decades. This is not true The drug crisis is part of the problem. They don't mention that, it's got nothing to do with housing there are plenty of people and it's documented to an extreme of guys who say go into here this is a place for you to stay I'd rather be on the street Yes correct

44:44 And this happens constantly. Your friend down in Texas must run into this." Well, that's where he finds people because drug addicts... According to Alan Graham the reason from Community First Village is the main reason people become homeless is catastrophic loss of family or community And when you are on the streets, you usually fall into drugs or you're already in some kind of drug issue. That's why they all congregate because then you have a community of druggies and they look out for each other... It's a whole thing! So that is now your new community. By the way Newsom does have a plan but I'm interested in your final clip on this first unless you have something else?

45:35 No, I have another clip. Now like I said California Los Angeles in particular are making progress on that but it's a really big gap to close and on top of that the crisis is at such a magnitude that you also have to help all the people who are already on the streets get into the housing and stay there and everybody who's out there probably needs a different intervention so it becomes very hard to fix Now, the federal state and local governments all share responsibility for different pieces of these fixes. But of course they can always point fingers at each other. Right?

46:11 And Anna, just quickly are there politics at play behind Newsom's most recent statements here? Oh yes of course he is a politician. I spoke with a longtime Democratic political consultant about this. Newsom has been talked about as possible future presidential candidate but the homelessness crisis in California is huge weakness for him and so it makes sense that he distancing himself from the responsibility a bit and saying publicly to local officials, look the state's given you everything you need money support. Now you have to act I've done all I can but really there is not a quick fix to this

CHAPTER 14 / 43 Discussion

CARE Court, California Mental Health and Substance Abuse Policy

The Community Assistance Recovery & Empowerment (CARE) Court is Newsom's new framework for mandating treatment for individuals with severe mental health and substance use disorders. The plan involves a $14 billion investment to provide housing units and court-ordered care plans. Critics describe the system as a "totalitarian" solution that uses kangaroo courts to bypass traditional legislative processes.

gavin newsom· care court· mental health· substance abuse· medi-cal

46:47 Well, I'm disappointed now because I saw your clips come in. People should know John and I don't talk in between shows We don't discuss what we're gonna do He sends his clips. I look at the titles just to see what he has covered So I see a three-parter on Newsom. I didn't clip my Newsom stuff Because he has proposed the solution and I'm very disappointed Surprisingly not In NPR they didn't mention it It is the CARES court Have you heard of this? Maybe. Governor... I have the PDF, I have the one-pager PDF here. Governor Newsom's new plan to get Californians in crisis off the streets and into housing treatment and care it is the Community Assistance Recovery & Empowerment Court Care Court a new framework to get people with mental health and substance use disorders the support and care they need

47:45 So what happens is they take you to court. I'm sure there's a reason why it's called courts and then because it's the court, yes? And then they so care court connects connects This is great. Care court connects a person struggling with untreated mental illness and often also substance use challenges with a court-ordered care plan for up to 24 months, so you have it's jail for druggies each plan is managed by a care team in the community and can include clinically prescribed individual interventions ie our drugs with special

48:29 with several support services, medication and a housing plan. The client-centered approach of these convicts also includes a public defender and supporter... What is it? Support like pom poms? Yay! Go you! Exactly To help make self directed care decisions in addition to their full clinical team So he's going to rouse them And by the way, this is a $14 billion multi-year investment that will also provide 55 thousand new housing units and treatment slots. Well 55 thousand is not enough! But they have slots to just put you in the wall...in a slot in the wall. Slots? And a more than 10 billion dollar annual investment in community behavioral health services Dude bonanza The governor's comprehensive approach combines a focus on bridge housing

49:27 under the bridge, I guess to quickly rehouse unsheltered individuals with behavioral health issues all while more new units come online. While also transforming Medi-Cal to provide more behavioral health services to people struggling the most so he's created a court you get rousted You go to court your druggy. You got problems take our meds sleep here and Or else. Or else, yes! I'm surprised NPR didn't catch on to that...that's odd. I am too now that you mention it Because he has a solution It's kind of a weird one Well its a totalitarian solution There ya go Yes By every definition

50:15 Yeah, you go in and it's done by edict if you haven't noticed they mentioned that is all executive orders. So there's no legislature involved or anybody any input whatsoever this is just a totalitarian mechanism that he put in place and the key to it Is this phony baloney kangaroo court? Yes, which is exactly what it is. Yep There you go. Good for him well And I think it's a model for all of America Well, that's the point he is going to try to make when he runs for president. The problem is he still has that... He still got that greasy kind of slick with a gravelly voice and some issues with his presentations especially when you compare him to Jewish Obama

CHAPTER 15 / 43 Discussion

Josh Shapiro, Presidential Ambitions and Oratory Style

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is analyzed as a potential future presidential candidate, with comparisons made to Barack Obama's speaking cadence. His energetic delivery at rallies is scrutinized, with some suggesting his style is "overdone" or reminiscent of the "Dean Scream."

josh shapiro· barack obama· pennsylvania· democratic party· oratory

51:02 Shapiro? Shapiro. Shapiro sounds just like Obama, he's got the cadence he's got two better speeches is much more dynamic speaker than Newsom. Newsom is not very good compared... Doesn't matter you know doesn't matter people just vote what they're told to vote. It doesn't matter because they're gonna choose somebody that if you're gonna say that but they're gonna choose someone they're going to choose Shapiro I don't think America is ready for a Jew president I really don't think about it I don't think that, I don't really believe that. There's probably a few people who wouldn't appreciate it but... The Nazis? In general nobody cares about him especially a guy like that guy he is pretty neutral He's not coming out and talking about you know... He is a screamer! He goes all off the rail. He is like Dean Scream almost No Yes Yes

52:04 Oh man, I thought I had a Dean Scream clip of him. Yes! He was going off the rails... I know-I didn't clip it crap Yeah because he didn't matter because he's no longer in the running oh yeah his voice is all skipping and stuff? Yeah maybe i can find it No, I don't think he's the right guy. Well the other thing that you notice on these networks that say that Trump is whatever that word was we used earlier freaked out about something or other which he's not Oh here it is, here it is John listen to this An America where no matter what you look like Where you come from Who you love Or who you pray too That this will be a place for you And are you ready?

52:56 to look the next president of the United States in the eye and say, hello madam president. Are you ready? Madam President! A little overdone. Well that's a good example I have to say i'll give you points for that okay because that's not his... he's nuts all right So the other thing is they're condemning Trump for not doing enough rallies. Oh really? Not enough rallies?! I thought he was doing all kinds of rallies! Well, they claim he's not doing as many as he could and Chris this is just a gibberish... He said in his press conference, he gave an hour-press conference which was reasonably good amount of time

CHAPTER 16 / 43 Discussion

Presidential Debates, Kamala Harris and Latino Endorsements

Donald Trump has called for three presidential debates in September, while Kamala Harris has currently only committed to one on September 10th. Meanwhile, Harris and Tim Walz are campaigning in battleground states, securing the first-ever presidential endorsement from the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

kamala harris· donald trump· tim walz· lulac· presidential debates

53:40 says nobody else is doing him. Yeah and he says look I'm not gonna do a lot of work until we just, until the convention's over right? And i think it's smart in that regard because the convention will change the dynamics of everything! He has to see what happens well he's throwing out there this...I want three debates and Kamala is not She's like, one debate. Actually I have a clip here. Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump take their campaigns to Western states as they also prepare to meet face-to-face in their first presidential candidates' debate. I'm glad that he finally agreed to a debate on December 10th. I'm looking forward to it and hope he shows up! Trump called for three debates... I think it is very important that we have him. I hope she agrees with him September 4th, September 10th

54:27 September 25th, Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after stops in Michigan and Wisconsin are in Arizona Friday a key stop in a multi-day battleground state blitz both sides are heavily courting the Latino vote in the final three months of the campaign. Harris on Friday picked up the first ever presidential endorsement at the oldest Latino civil rights organization in the US The League of United Latin American Citizens is expected to join Harris for rally this weekend in Nevada Trump traveled to Montana for a fundraiser and to campaign for a Senate candidate. He's insisted he has not adjusted his campaign since Harris became the Democratic nominee I haven't recalibrated strategy at all, it's the same policies open borders weak on crime

55:13 I think she's worse than Biden. While Harris has surged in recent polls, the Trump campaign has dismissed it as a honeymoon moment Both the Trump-Vance ticket and the Harris-Walz ticket are wrapping up appearances in the handful of battleground states building momentum for a high stakes debate in September that could be a make or break moment for either campaign Well she is only planning on doing one from what I can tell She has not responded. But we'll see about that Bob my team is working on an interview Yeah, you're right Trump is probably just sitting backs like crazy Joe could come out jacked up Joe could return

CHAPTER 17 / 43 Discussion

Secret Service, Assassination Attempt Investigation and Body Cam Footage

New body cam footage from the July 13th assassination attempt on Donald Trump shows local law enforcement claiming they warned the Secret Service about the lack of roof security days prior. There are also allegations that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle sought to destroy evidence related to a partial DNA hit on cocaine found in the White House.

secret service· donald trump· thomas matthew crooks· butler pennsylvania· body cam

55:53 You know, Jill now doing the injections herself. She doesn't trust anybody maybe Hunter? Hey dad I got some good stuff and he knows how to do it you know did i read somewhere that that wacky woman from the secret service who resigned that she had like a partial DNA hit on the coke in the White House and she obfuscated it? She wanted evidence destroyed well clearly clearly Yes, this is a yes. That's out there and discussed it what you just said yeah that they had a partial DNA hit and she wanted the evidence destroyed And they wouldn't do it because it was violation of some process and does he never got destroyed? But we guess when she was angling for but we don't know what the part who the party now They ended the investigation

56:43 They could do that. So, that's what she did." Meanwhile as if it never happened there was an assassination attempt and man if you look at Instagram I looked my daughter is on Instagram so the only way to keep up with what she's doing just tell me everything because I gotta go look What are you doing? She's going into the jungle again. She's doing another reality show. I think it's like girls in the jungle So it's all these kind of cute girls and they throw them in the jungle. Oh God, I was like naked and afraid Yeah well And so I'm scrolling around and I see people posting things like it was shrapnel He didn't get sass there was no assassination attempt There was just some shrapnel like what? Shrapnel from what exactly

57:37 He's lying. I mean, if you ever watch the clip of him getting shot... The teleprompter which is where they say that shrapnel came from was intact! Yeah. The teleprompter was not hit. I'm just saying people have so... It's as if it never happened. I mean it wasn't an amazing moment In American political history, it's like we're just back to calling him needle dick and anything else. It is no good! This guy crazy weird Vance, weird Trump blah as if it never... No one is disturbed by it

58:13 And I have a couple of clips here. This is so now we have new body cam footage which really shows us nothing but the Secret Service... But it does show us body cam footage? It does. I told them they need to post the guys over here. I told them that's a secret service, I told him that Tuesday. I told him to post guys over here What I thought you guys were on the roof. No, we're inside! I told them to post **** guys over here. I wasn't even concerned about it because i thought someone was on the roof. I thought that's how we- they kind of asked can you lose a guy walking back and forth? So I talked to the Secret Service guys they're like yeah no problem we're gonna post guys over here

CHAPTER 18 / 43 Discussion

FBI, Six-Week Cycle Theory and Entrapment Bonuses

A theory is presented that the FBI operates on a "six-week cycle" to manufacture domestic terrorism cases for budget and bonus purposes. A whistleblower on Tim Pool's program alleged that senior FBI agents receive five-figure bonuses for hitting metrics like "disruptions" and "dismantlements." This is linked to the recent arrest of a Pakistani national in an alleged plot against Trump.

fbi· tim pool· whistleblower· domestic terrorism· entrapment

58:55 So to put it into context, Ryan what we're listening there is this local law enforcement officer again just approximately 10 minutes after somebody fired or Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight rounds at Donald Trump saying look I told the Secret Service we needed people back here because he's standing behind the building or the buildings where the shots were fired from. And then he says, I told the Secret Service that on Tuesday. Presumably there was a site walkthrough obviously the shooting happened on a Saturday July 13th so that was at least several days beforehand So, there's you know a new analysis. Okay but everything is secret service secret service I just want to revisit briefly the theory that we've discussed this was a very typical FBI six-week cycle we've been on this for over a decade and it comes and goes but when it's on the six week cycle the FBI some typically some poor

59:51 Weak-minded brother is singing aloha bar online and they they sigh up him for a couple of months Hey, man You should go blow something up. And then the guy goes out there just like crooks had a phony baloney detonator with bombs we don't even know if the bombs actually worked because you've heard nothing more about them that's been The van was whisked away or wasn't in his car? We don't know There's some circumstantial evidence of FBI cell phones and near the FBI, whatever it is. A lot of FBI stuff and it's a very typical FBI setup. It's like make it look like someone was going to try and kill the president with bombs We even had mainstream almost as if they were...as if someone triggered it and said the wrong thing or they were ready for it Oh! Trump falls down afraid of loud noises but then the kid went rogue and he brought a rifle and took some shots

1:00:48 So, lo and behold... so this is our six-week cycle theory. We've heard this from people who are in the know. Lo and behold I'm really from Waters to the pool boy here we go Tim Pool had a former FBI agent on his show often called a whistleblower. I don't know if he's a whistleblower but he... Everybody everybody is a whistleblower! I know that when you tell the truth your whistleblower And he lays out the six week cycle exactly. When the FBI charts their progress, they're looking for a thing that are called stats. This is something that all law enforcement you know this is like quotas if you will and so we need to have stats that say I have X number of cases in this field and I've x number of arrests in this type of category were going after MS 13 were going after organized crime blah blah blah. We're doing these counterintelligence investigations. They have a thing that's called a disruption which means the plot basically got foiled

1:01:44 And they have a thing that's called dismantlement, which means that this network was taken apart. And you get more points for a dismantlement than you do for disruption if my memory serves it may be backwards but I think its that So the thing is these guys are literally going for gold stars on a board and you think okay well would they sacrifice public safety to do this? If they thought they can get away with safely then will and second thing is oldest reason thats ever existed its greed The senior executive service in all federal governments, but definitely in the FBI that I was able to experience they get paid a five-figure bonus It's like between 30 and 50 maybe $60,000 if they hit all their metrics So they are incentivized to get arrests in certain categories. They're incentivized to do these sort of things Okay sounds pretty much like the six week cycle We always thought it was for the budget so they can justify the budget now it turns out And I'm gonna take this guy at his word

1:02:36 that it's an individual star collection thing and you get more money if you can disrupt something. And then remember we had that kind of rogue Iran thing? Oh, the Iranian wanted to take him out? Remember that? Yeah Well listen this part Vice President Kamala Harris and former... Sorry I'm so bad today. Here we go. We need you to go through all of your domestic terrorism cases and find connections to international terrorism so we can recategorize your hours. Imagine like an attorney bills hours, the FBI assigns the work of an agent against certain types or categories of cases." So they had too many what are called 266 cases those are the domestic terror. They needed more 415 cases! And in order do that they were like hey did you find a dude who is white supremacist but he was in a chat room somewhere that later on an Al-Qaeda guy

1:03:45 went into because we can tie them together and make this a 415 instead of 266. It's the dumbest thing possible, but when you understand we're talking about bureaucracy here, here is the scariest part for me. This has been going on for 20 years. Yeah so that takes us right back to this. The FBI arresting a Pakistani national in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump There you go. They wanted a 415, so they just throw that in good to go I completely believe this Well i think we both do! I think this has been believed by us yes In one form or another What we did the missing information is the bonus Yes now we know Which which is more impetus than it's just the budget It's even better because You get personal benefits you don't just oh...I'm doing it for the good of the agency

1:04:40 So yeah, so it makes it even more. It makes even more sense if you bring that yes late in the play Yes exactly Yeah, yeah the Pakistani is a good one Sure Everybody's all-in on this Meanwhile everyone is all yelling about crowd sizes and AI and Kamala She's she's hiring people $250 to sit in the crowd yet duh That is fifteen dollars an hour Oh That's another thing. It is probably true, but... That's all you read on ex-news social. It's all about that! This is boring. Here's Elon Musk he keeps because I follow him like he keeps posting X is the number one news app okay yeah He has been pushing that idea

Scott Ritter, FBI Raid and Foreign Agent Registration Act

The FBI raided the New York home of former UN weapons inspector and RT contributor Scott Ritter, citing potential violations of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). Ritter characterized the raid as an act of war by the U.S. government against his First Amendment rights and his ability to provide alternative geopolitical analysis.

scott ritter· fbi· rt· fara· russian media

1:05:32 Now, here's the... While we're on this FBI stuff. There is a couple of kind of parallel weirdnesses going on We gotta stop using the word weird. We have to stop that. I told you! I called you out!! I know i'm glad you did but it just yeah.. I know its bad It's bad? Its one of those bad terms that I don't like. I mean we've been influenced by Tim Walz how bad are we So they're going after, for some reason Scott Ritter. Yeah the FBI visited him! And Tulsi Gabbard. She's on that fly checker out list or something? Well she's irked about it. I can imagine... But what's interesting is that two of them have both discussed this. Scott Ritter discussing it everywhere he can but the best discussion comes off of RT which he works for

1:06:31 And I want to play this these two clips and then play Tulsi's clips. Okay, and then see if you can find the commonality the commonality between what they both say. The FBI and the police have raided the New York home of former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and current RT contributor Scott Ritter he addressed his followers on social media platforms explaining that the FBI has concerns over his link with RT and Russian media outlets but FBI has executed a search warrant on my home The search warrant was based upon what they deemed to be probable cause that I am in violation of the Foreign Agent Registrations Act. You work for RT, of course! And they executed a search warrant looking for electronic devices my computers, my cell phone things of that nature

1:07:29 Based upon their questions, it appears that they are primarily concerned about my relationship with RT and Sputnik. Well, Scott himself was not detained in the raids which is the latest in a string of actions targeting the former UN weapons inspector. Back in June, the US State Department seized his passport taking him off a plane as he travelled to attend the St Petersburg International Economic Forum It comes as the threat of assassination has been hanging over Mr Ritter for quite some time after he was added to a notorious Ukrainian kill list for his views on the conflict Scott says that Alternative stance the US government has effectively declared war on him Okay, so far. It just sounds like harassment though as well the fact that they took him off of a plane No I didn't know that part. He thought I didn't know that party there And I didn't know anything about to kill this so this is our T's actually giving us better reporting yeah Shocker

1:08:31 Here's the second part of this. This is absurd in the extreme, this raid on my home was designed to have a chilling effect. Chilling? To make me think twice about speaking out about writing about doing podcasts and as I told the FBI and now tell you now there isn't a snowball chance in hell that I'll back down because I'm doing nothing wrong today The United States government declared war on me They declared war on my ability to write, my ability to speak. My ability to interact with the American people and indeed with the broader international audience. So be it! We're at war. It's not a war I plan on losing

1:09:11 Scott Ritter, well another RT contributor former Senate aide to Joe Biden. Tara Reid has repeatedly stated she's been harassed by the FBI too and says there is an ongoing witch hunt for Americans who hold a different point of view He spoke out against the war in Iraq and revealed that the government lied- The US government lied about weapons of mass destruction Um he spoke out George Galloway famously spoke out And um He has been a whistleblower. And then, you know he was put in prison for charges that he was convicted of and did his time. He served to sentence so I don't think it's related to that sentencing at all. Again its just a pattern what your seeing in the United States which is their surveillance state an authoritative government that we have the illusion of free speech We have that illusion of right to travel

1:10:08 But in reality, it's only allowed if we say what the United States wants people to say. Otherwise you're at risk. Many say that unfortunately the intelligence cabal has really taken over the United States government and I think you have seen that pretty clearly just in recent events around 2024 election Well yes No surprise to us as an aside Someone mentioned in the troll room that we were on a weird kick previously around Obama time and I went to bing it.io Holy crap, we would say the word weird eight nine ten times an episode It's terrible it really is bad Okay So yes well the intelligence community runs the country duh all right yeah gotcha

CHAPTER 20 / 43 Discussion

Tulsi Gabbard, TSA Quiet Skies Watchlist

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was reportedly placed on the TSA's "Quiet Skies" domestic terror watchlist shortly after criticizing the Biden-Harris administration. The surveillance reportedly involves air marshals and explosive detection dogs on her flights. Both Gabbard and Scott Ritter used the phrase "chilling effect" to describe the government's actions, leading to speculation about coded language.

tulsi gabbard· tsa· quiet skies· homeland security· surveillance

1:11:07 Yes, I'm like they have not contributed much to the show recently. It's really annoying well Where those AOL comm addresses people come on step it up so we have Tulsi on watch list and here she's off the deep end here. But this interesting, the fact that it seems to me that she should be happy that there are three air marshals on every flight she takes. You feel like a lot of safety around you know what I mean? So what exactly did Tulsi Gabbard do? Oh is this Frau Ingraham? It's- I'm sorry, I should have warned you. It's Frau Ingram! Because everything is traced back to her Tulsi's appearance on Frau's show

1:11:51 It's just a fraud show. Very good. Get out of the terror watch list. It came the day after she criticized the Biden administration right here on The Angle. Whatever, I haven't watched her in awhile but what this is very Nazi man. There is no different. You know that I got this just as an aside. I've mentioned this on the show once before. She used to have a radio show? Yes! I think maybe she still does now. No, I don't think so but she had a syndicated radio show And it was a later show, wasn't like during the day. It wasn't done drive time or anything so I'd tune into it every so often by accident as I'm going through the channels if it was later and I'd hear it and I always swore that what sounded like a guy she sounds like a male on the radio for some reason she just sounds like a hype you know like a male tenor not not a guy with a baritone voice but she sounds male-ish and I was always stunned by that

1:12:49 Let's return. OK, that's wild. Joining me now Tulsi Gabbard former U.S. Congresswoman Fox News contributor Tulsi Now you serve this country in uniform even getting deployed to Iraq Thank you for going unlike Tim Walz and now you're being surveilled I mean it is a form of surveillance or hassling and intrusion upon your freedom to move by the government

1:13:35 What is this? I mean, I didn't believe it really when when i first heard about it. I said oh that can't be but how does this make you feel Laura This is a clear act of political retaliation There's no other way to put it You laid out the sequence of events The very next day after my conversation with you on the air warning the American people how dangerous a Kamala Harris presidency would be, I was placed on this domestic terror watch list which is called the Quiet Skies List under the Department of Homeland Security. The clear pain and real visceral hurt that comes from this is, as you mentioned—like many Americans I enlisted because of the terrorist attacks on 9-11. To go after the Islamists, the terrorists who attacked us on that day, and to now have my own government now turn around and put me on a domestic terror watch list, it hits to the core and is the ultimate sense of betrayal.

1:14:37 Okay, because yes it is a betrayal. Yeah yeah it's kind of an amusing betrayal I have nothing to add to that. I've noticed just one of those aside things Tulsi does not look good on her from if they shoot her from the left side have you noticed this? She does have angles that make her look better. Yeah, straight front on is good and on her... let me see her right side the left side makes you look very old and kind of crackly in that then you know that blonde... Her side? Her left specifically? Yes! Her left side not looking at her left No, her left side specifically And that's also the side with the blond lock

1:15:27 Oh. Yeah, tell them to look out. Be on the lookout for it! Once you see it you can't unsee it. I probably have to look at it... Okay two. We look at why they are doing this It has a chilling effect. It sends a warning both to me and anyone else who even thinks about daring to criticize our own government, which is guaranteed protected right under the First Amendment that we will be subject to violation of our Fourth Amendment rights to privacy through this kind of surveillance. And that's the biggest stress that has been caused by this entire situation, Laura is now forever I will always be looking over my shoulder wondering if and how our government in any of these different agencies is surveilling me watching me are they reading my text messages? Are they listening to my phone calls? Yeah, I was going to say yes, yes and yes That's what I would guess at least Now in a letter from whistleblower attorney Tristan Leavitt

1:16:26 He writes that the special mission coverage in Ms. Gabbard's case reportedly involves two explosive detection canine teams, one transportation security analyst and explosives, one plainclothes TSA supervisor and three federal air marshals on every flight Ms. Gabbard boards." Well do they get her first-class seating? I just find the whole thing peculiar but did you notice the commonality with this guy Ritterclipp airplane using the term chilling which you actually noticed when he said it yeah just a chilling effect she says it right at the beginning of that clip and I listened to the Ritter clip but he says this is like code hmm so they're both let me hear let me hear Tulsi again say chilling we look at why they are doing this

1:17:27 It has a chilling effect. And did Ritter say that in his first or second clip? I don't remember, but... I don't remember what he said it but he said in this at a point where you picked up on it was like probably the second ship and it's not just chilling a chilling effect is exactly the same wordage which is like well okay yeah I guess it does but it just seems like a coincidence that of all people that are being well hold on a sec They are both military, so DIA CIA. So it could be the DIA code for chilling see chilling effect

1:18:13 Well, I don't know what to make of it. But I did notice it and it was clear as day and it was the exact same coded language which always especially from these two events which are nowhere near each other but they're using the same coded language so this is bothering me Okay, final clip for Tulsi. Literally like the Soviet Union China today North Korea any totalitarian regime but Donald Trump's a totalitarian right? He's the dictator and waiting okay Yeah, this is just and this is what we know about. And we know about it because of these brave whistleblowers from the Air Marshal Service who are coming forward What I'm questioning is what are the things that are happening in our government that I don't know about? How long have they been surveilling me? This is just the recent occurrence. I would not be surprised to know there are other government agencies Who are also being weaponized

CHAPTER 21 / 43 Discussion

AIPAC, Primary Election Spending and Iran Tensions

AIPAC spent millions in the 2024 primaries to unseat "The Squad" members Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman due to their stances on the Israel-Gaza conflict. The organization also targeted Republican Bob Goode. The discussion suggests that while military industrial funding drives these efforts, Iran is unlikely to retaliate directly for recent assassinations, preferring to let Israel remain in a state of high alert.

aipac· cori bush· jamal bowman· israel· gaza

1:19:10 against political opponents, those who dare to challenge this regime of the Biden-Harris administration. And that's really what it comes down to and why they have to be stopped I disagree with her here. Do not think that these agencies or these divisions, and I'm specifically looking at the military industrial base or the intelligence community. They're not all in on anybody except themselves

1:19:57 And as is witnessed by the heavily military industrial base funded AIPAC. It's been one of the most expensive primaries in history, AIPAC spent $8.5 million for Wesley Bells campaign to defeat Missouri representative Cori Bush. She has been a member She has been a member of the progressive congressional group, The Squad and a target of AIPAC because of her critical stance on Israel's war on Gaza since October 7th. Cori Bush is the second member of The Squad who has been unseated in a similar AIPAC strategy in the primaries this year Democratic representative from New York, Jamal Bowman was defeated by pro-Israeli centrist George Ladimer. AIPAC put nearly 15 million dollars into Ladimer's campaign trail The results showcase the political and economic power of AIPAC and deep divisions among Democrats over Israel's onslaught on the besieged Strip

1:20:52 But it's not only Democrats who are being targeted. A Republican representative from Virginia, Bob Goode has lost his seat against John Maguire who was endorsed by the Republican Jewish Coalition The group attacked Congressman Goode after his vote against financial aid to Israel AIPAC says these victories are, and I quote, further proof that being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics on both sides of the aisle. Meanwhile unseated Congress members and their supporters slam AIPAC for spending millions of dollars to brainwash voters Now wait, wait the Republican Jewish Alliance. Is that what she said? What is it three guys? Let me listen to which well this is TRT so let me hear what she said Meanwhile unseated Congress members and their supporters slam a pack for spending millions of dollars And I caught again two brainwash waters. I don't know where you get back but but the whole point is

1:21:53 That thing is funded by the military industrial base. Sure! And you know, the Jews are just basically in it as a sideline because look at what they're doing Look at how they're ramping up Iran and I was listening to a couple other podcasts about Iran...I don't think Iran's gonna do anything They're just going to sit back You know? They're not going retaliate. I mean, they killed the guy themselves Yeah oh yeah He was annoying And it's just hanging out, he's over there. They don't like the Shia anyway you know? There is that thing we brought up in the last show that there's difference in the religions and it's better to have Israel waiting I mean...that's terror!

CHAPTER 22 / 43 Discussion

Democrat Party as a Cult, Targeting of Defectors

The Democratic Party is characterized as a "cult" that aggressively targets former members who defect or become independent. Tulsi Gabbard's current legal and surveillance troubles are framed as a standard "deprogramming" or harassment tactic used against those who leave the party's fold.

tulsi gabbard· democrat party· cult· deprogramming· political defection

1:22:41 You're waiting like do I have to go into my bunker? Do I have to get into my bomb shelter? Meanwhile the USA has to spend millions of dollars in fuel and efforts, to keep all these ships going around and around. Yeah yeah no it's perfect. It's horrible situation No its great situation lots of money Lots of money Back to Tulsi Gabbard and the fact that you know she probably is not being targeted by intelligence She's being targeted though by the Democrat. I've said this before, I'll say it again the Democrat Party is a cult she quit the call is within you

1:23:18 She quit the cult and became kind of an independent Republican type, and they're going after her for that reason. And that's the only thing is going on. You said you quit the party? This happened to anyone who has ever been a Democrat. It lasts for about a decade. Well have they been targeting you since you quit the Democrat Party? That was in 1979. Oh, so you're done? You're out now? It's been done for years! I mean... You've been deprogrammed?! Who cares about that guy!? Yeah but it wasn't- it's a cult and so when you quit a cult they always go after you right away and they keep hounding you to come either come back into the cult or then just you know yeah it takes forever though So I think that's what they're doing to her

Gaza School Strike, International Condemnation and Ceasefire Leverage

An Israeli airstrike on a school compound in Gaza City reportedly killed over 90 people, drawing condemnation from the EU and regional powers. While Israel claims the site was a Hamas command center, the U.S. State Department is using the tragedy as leverage to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu into a ceasefire and hostage deal ahead of an August 15th deadline.

gaza city· israel· hamas· joseph borrell· state department

1:24:05 Freaking her out. So we just put another three and a half billion for Israel to spend on US weapons according to CNN, you know We're positioning ships big beautiful ships Yes, it's great. Just keep it rolling for a little bit and then we have this... This was very odd this story about here's the setup 30 seconds Senior EU officials have joined a growing chorus of condemnation after an Israeli air strike on a school compound killed dozens in Gaza City The EU's top diplomat Joseph Borrell expressed his horror at the attack which Gazan officials say killed more than 90 people sheltering in the school. Egypt and Qatar are demanding an urgent investigation, and the US has said it's quote deeply concerned about the strike Israel has repeatedly claimed that Hamas uses schools as cover in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks So the way they make it sound... I could have clipped 20 of these The NPR version if you want to play it before we analyze it

1:25:08 Under Israel. Got it. Yeah, hit it. Vice President Harris ahead of a campaign rally in Las Vegas tonight said once again that there have been too many civilian casualties in the Israel-Hamas war. Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas. But as I have said many, many times they also have an important responsibility to avoid civilian casualties." The school was being used as a shelter for Palestinians displaced by the war in an area where people had been displaced since the war started in October The Israeli military says they were targeting a Hamas command center within the school. The attack came early this morning when many people were praying in an area used as a mosque

1:25:53 And then you have the 14 second version, which is the shortest of them all on PBS. Which is called Last Israeli Strike. An Israeli airstrike in Gaza hit a school today killing at least 80 people The strike happened during morning prayers according to witnesses. Israeli defense forces say Hamas militants were operating out of the school Hamas disputes the claim Okay, so all the other reports I heard was according to the Hamas medical information source. In addition to that when they say school is a Saturday...I looked it up there's not a lot of kids who go to school in the Muslim faith on Saturday

1:26:38 But they kind of make it sound like they killed kids. They certainly started that way and I think they did kill some senior dude, didn't they? It's kind of omitted from the reports. I thought that senior dude was killed in some other operation. Could be but this This is now being used as a wedge. This is one of these examples where... I'm sorry, this is a spokeshole from the US State Department? This is one of these examples where the law of unintended consequences in war creates some just disastrous consequences you know as as The White House said today although we understand and recognize that Israel needs to target terrorists that they're deeply concerned

1:27:20 and that Israel needs to take more precautions to protect civilians. From the American point of view, what they're using this for hopefully is again it gives some more momentum for the ceasefire hostage deal that it kind of underscores the urgency It's kind of a now or never time which is why we're hoping to have a kind of diplomatic train of representatives from the United States with this August 15th date set for this week to finally bring the parties to the table and reach agreement. In a very sad and tragic way, today's event gives the United States additional leverage and pressure because while there is tragedy that took place this morning in Gaza there is another disaster looming on their northern border with Hezbollah

1:28:05 The Israel understands that they need the United States to back them up right now while they're standing and bracing for retaliatory attacks on both Iran and Hezbollah. They're heavily dependent on the United States for weapons, other assets intelligence So what in the best case scenario this morning's event can do is to create some kind of Momentum and incentive for the United States to say to Israel look we need some concessions from you to reach that ceasefire in Gaza You need us More. In fact than we need you at this point and Netanyahu it's time to seal the deal Okay, working a deal would look good for Kamala. That's from the State Department. So I

Ukraine, Kursk Region Incursion and Western Weaponry

Ukrainian forces launched a surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region, capturing territory and tearing down Russian flags. President Zelensky praised the move as necessary pressure on the aggressor. Analysts suggest the offensive aims to prove that Russia's "red lines" are a bluff, encouraging Western partners to allow the use of long-range missiles inside Russian territory.

ukraine· volodymyr zelensky· kursk· russia· drones

1:28:49 I'll take that as some genuine information. But still, we got to keep the ships in the region can't be given up on that. Speaking of... Yes? I wanted to talk about Ukraine before we forget about that. Oh goodness. Okay Mainly because of the Ukraine going into Russia and I have three clips. Yeah, so they say um well you know maybe it's not suspicious yeah but i have that I have the three clubs one is the newest Ukraine into Russia NPR clip 55 seconds second yes newest yet got it

1:29:30 Ukrainian President Zelensky is praising his country's troops for their incursion into Western Russia, which caught the Russian military by surprise. As NPR's Greg Myre reports these were Zelensky most explicit remarks so far on Ukraine's ongoing offensive In his nightly video address, President Zelensky said he'd receive updates on the operation to quote push the war into the aggressor's territory. He went on to say that the offensive is exactly the kind of pressure that's needed, pressure on the aggressor. Ukrainian officials have been tight-lipped about the offensive that began with Tuesday surge into Russia's Kursk region

1:30:10 but some information is starting to emerge. Ukrainian troops are beginning to post on social media from inside Russia, they show themselves tearing down Russian flags and standing in front of road signs to indicate they've entered a village or town." Okay now I've read reports everything from Putin is freaked out he's rushing around state-of-emergency in Moscow and then I see reports of him going well there's something going on we gotta take care that I'm sorry, so also some reports about. I don't have the guy's name and I Know I feel bad about it But there's some general that has been running things this Ukraine thing And they're trying to get rid of them on the Ukraine side or the Russians known on the Russian side Oh a typical Russian way of getting rid of somebody So I have two analysis clips

1:31:06 There's Ukraine analysis one and two, let's just play these and then we can talk about it. Olga Robinson there well we can bring in Peter Dickinson now he is editor of Ukraine Alert at the Atlantic Council think tank. Peter is joining us this evening from Kiev very good to have you with us Peter once again so I have to say we've not been hearing that much from Ukrainian authorities specifically about this. I did see one comment from one Ukrainian MP, of course who you're very familiar with, Alexei Koncharenko who told the BBC that Ukraine was trying to take back military initiative here What do you make of what is happening?

1:31:42 Well, you're absolutely right. The Ukrainian authorities have been very tight-lipped about this whole affair and they've said very little. President Zelensky has alluded to it in some of his recent comments but nothing specific and certainly nothing that would give a clear indication of what Ukraine's ultimate intentions are And that fits with a broader pattern of surprise. The Ukrainians managed to plan this operation, it seems to be fairly sophisticated and complex military offensive and prepare it over presumably extended period without anybody being aware of these preparations so certainly the Russians were taken by surprise but it would seem that Ukraine's western partners were taken by surprise and frankly speaking

1:32:28 Most people in Kiev here were also taken by surprise. So they seem to have achieved quite a remarkable success given the openness of the battlefield these days, the sort of ubiquity of drones and the sense certainly on the battlefield in East and South Ukraine that there is no real opportunity for secrecy. Here Ukraine has shown that they can still have... They can still spring a surprise. who replaced Nikolai Makarov and currently serves as the commander of all Russian forces in Ukraine, considered one of the most powerful men in Russia and one of three people to hold access to Russia's nuclear weapons. That is the guy you are talking about? Could be! Meanwhile this report from BBC is kind of weird... You can say kooky instead of weird Did I say weird again? You just literally said weird

1:33:32 Flag on I wish you know, I'm not as good as you is turning this stuff off But you have to keep hounding me. I will trust me kooky Maybe that you know what really gets to make the mind you gets that you had that submarine sound honking sound Put it at the ready and just honk me when I do it. There you go! That one? Okay, all right. It's at the ready. Yeah and that of course this annoys our listeners yeah well and producers because it's like why are these guys so upset why are these guys preoccupied with what they say yeah well it's a thing

1:34:18 It's just a thing. We do this because we, we do it as part of our shtick. Here you go Part 2. Well talking about that surprise I mean we did also hear that Washington was reportedly surprised by this and you know I was at the NATO summit just a few weeks ago there in Washington DC and there was this continued conversation about using longer-range missiles to strike military targets deeper within Russia and many of the Baltic leaders that I spoke to all for it. Washington didn't back it at that stage, so I just wonder what do you think some of these Western military partners will be making of what we're seeing? Well I think that's one of the big questions in this operation and perhaps also one of the reasons behind this operation again you are quite right to say there has been a lot resistance from Ukraine's partners particularly US and particularly Germany about the use of Western weapons

1:35:12 in be expected to win a war whilst they're being asked to fight essentially with one hand tied behind their backs. So, what we are seeing now with this very open and for the first time an actual direct invasion of Russia by the Ukrainian military is them saying well you don't need to fear escalation, you don't need to fear Russia's red lines because actually Russia will not react in some

1:35:48 dramatic fashion in terms of escalation. There's nothing there, it's essentially a bluff so Ukraine is calling the bluff." Hmm well they did this...they didn't do this with our necessarily with our stuff they didn't know what f-16s and it was drones which is yay for Eric Schmidt I have no idea what's going on with this. And maybe they did or didn't use our stuff, but they're not supposed to use our stuff. Not without permission? This is gonna develop into... This is not a good thing, I don't think. Oh we called their bluff! Okay well you don't know that. What was the bluff that were not gonna do anything? It just the whole thing makes no sense it just seems like they had us of a plan to do something like this and they did it to prove they could do it

CrowdStrike, Delta Air Lines Lawsuit Update

Delta Air Lines, represented by attorney David Boies, is pursuing a lawsuit against CrowdStrike for damages estimated at half a billion dollars following a massive IT outage. The legal strategy focuses on "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct" to bypass the liability limitations typically found in End User License Agreements (EULAs).

crowdstrike· delta air lines· david boies· eula· gross negligence

1:36:40 It's just meaningless. Yeah, all right That's all I got on your crane Okay Just on the military front one of my and one of our dudes named Ben checked in sent comm central command Has some kind of cyber event going on it's been going on throughout the whole weekend and even sent com dot mil is unresponsive Which is their their main website? And you didn't hear about that anywhere else No, it'd be Iran again. Could be Russia could be Ukraine I like Iran And well while we're on that I have a Crowdstrike EULA lawsuit update from Rob. Clown strike? Yeah clown strike

1:37:34 Yes, a clout you know the boys David Boyce is there they're suing Yeah, the big boys the big boys boys are suing So Delta, you know Delta is really mad. They're saying hey man because of you guys we lost a lot of money But so Rob got ahold of Delta's reply to CrowdStrike's response which was sent by David Boyce himself And Rob says it's interesting because it touches on the contractual limitations on damages that CrowdStrike or ClownStrike has cited. Boyes has not yet invoked the F-word, meaning fraud but he does allege quote gross negligence and quote willful misconduct

1:38:19 And to support these allegations, he cites CrowdStrike's own reports when they came out with a very technical reason for what had happened. As for fraud, he makes a not-so-veiled suggestion that Discovery will dislodge even more evidence — the letter speaks of a second bug that made the problem even worse In response to CrowdStrike's claim that Delta caused its own trouble through bad IT operations, Bois argues that Delta was just relying on CrowdStrike and Microsoft. So they're estimating damages at half a billion dollars. Yeah

No Agenda Art, AI Art Bigotry and Episode 1684

The hosts review the artwork for Episode 1684, titled "No Guff," and discuss their growing distaste for AI-generated art. A study from the Journal of Hospitality Marketing and Management suggests that labeling products with "AI" is increasingly turning off consumers. One host identifies as an "AI Bigot" due to the repetitive nature of machine-generated imagery.

no agenda· ai art· tim cook· apple intelligence· digital art

1:44:36 Absolutely. Well, I mean an entire tech network basically went out of business The other thing is if you broke you have you bought a Starbucks coffee in the last month? Yeah Are you that broke now people make choices You know, well they should make the choice against the Starbucks coffee and give send us If yeah, what is it? What does one those coffees nine bucks? Very expensive these days That's okay. Well, the model remains the same if you want us to stay then support us that simple it's that simple now for today We have some people to thank in our time talents and treasure equation because that's what it is Dame Kenny Ben came in with the artwork that we chose for episode 1684 titled that no guff a nice throwback call back to the old times old-timey language No guff

1:45:35 And we didn't find a lot of very inspiring art. And this was, yeah I think we both said yeah this is good and Dame Kenny Ben made a very simple piece but nice font that she used kind What is this a typewriter? Typewriter font. Is that what this is? Yes, one of the typewriter fonts and she just put words on there bizarre quirky wacky kooky no agenda Adam Curry John C Dvorak functional and For my money very usable because that was what was playing in everybody's mind This weird word with Tim Walz getting credited for it So it worked It was spot-on now there were other things

1:46:20 You know the thing is I remember, I was pushing for packet filtered. Yes you were from Sir Shug. I thought it would be misunderstood. You didn't like it at all, you hated it. I didn't hate it... And you pulled rank and said we're gonna do Bizarre Quirky Wacky Kooky. No! I did not pull rank. This is a lie. It's a string of lies that you keep stringing up. There's no good I eventually agreed that the, you know... Well there was a lot of- We haven't done we haven't done it pure font or type true cover for years. We have not and they're very kind this is good it's legit so It was very legit! It was super legit. It was good. It was good and I liked it. A lot of AI again. Oh my AI! I mean it's just going down there was a big study that came out let me see

1:47:19 Adverse impacts of revealing the presence of artificial intelligence technology in product and service descriptions on purchase intentions. Colon The mediating role of emotional trust and the moderating role of perceived risk Synopsis, according to CNN Brands should avoid this popular term it's turning off customers So people do, according to the study this is the Journal of Hospitality Marketing and Management. But they did have 5,000 people in the study AI is not a good thing to promoting your product take that Apple iPhone Of course they have Apple intelligence which is different but I can see this being a fact it's annoying to hear it all the time constantly AI this AI that you know it's bogus Yeah most of it isn't AI It's just some algorithm or something

1:48:20 Yeah, exactly. But people are turned off by it so... Good job Tim Cook! See how that works out for you? And of course because this also sucks I mean most AI art just is no good. I like the AI art that came in that has a picture of It's called Cuddly Timmy and is a bear eating spaghetti or something That came in today By Dropko, I think it came before today Because I saw it a couple days ago. Submitted July 11th, July 11th? What?! Seems to be inaccurate Yeah, I think everything seems like it's July so I think it came in today August 11th that does seem well whenever it came in I'm pretty sure I saw yesterday the day before yeah but not on show day wasn't was not sure it wasn't but whatever the case I just like because it looks like that guy

1:49:24 Tim The tampon Tim it looks like him and his but as a cuddly teddy bear looking thing I don't know what prompts he did to get that to work, but I thought it was very funny personally And it's all AI well so far. I mean by the way artists jury is still out I'm not I'm not all in like John is yet and all I see is AI stuff more AI stop it huh? Hey, Klipp Gustodian just did a pixel. He's using the Pixel Mic as the anti-AI art okay? Well even prompt jockeys are appreciated here

1:50:04 Noahjenderartgenerator.com, everybody can participate you can play along while you're listening You can see what people are uploading It's always fun to see what artists think is going to catch our attention I'm very anti-AI and when it comes to art it just all looks kind of the same And you could use that as a tool You're just a bigot. You're bigoted! Yes, I am AI-bigoted A-I-B-I-G-O-T I'm AI Bigot That's correct So thank you very much Dame Kenny Benn another fine Dutch master of the arts Now let's thank our producers who came in with Treasure Of The Time Talent treasure equation now of course we appreciate anyone who gives up their Starbucks to support the show you can do it for every single episode you can do sustaining donations go to noagendadonations.com

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, TSA Facial Recognition Refusal

Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki passed away at age 56 from lung cancer. In a separate story, a listener describes refusing the TSA's facial recognition photo at an airport, which resulted in a secondary "pat down" screening. The listener suggests the TSA uses these measures as a "chilling effect" against non-compliant travelers.

susan wojcicki· youtube· tsa· facial recognition· privacy

1:58:32 Thank you for your courage Jason and Teresa rich Rick he says Rick. I always pronounce it rich, but I guess it's Rick and He has you can also find him on Airbnb that's so nice. Thank you very much Jason And I met him at white oak pastures in in Georgia when I went down there nice guy You've got karma I have another long note from anonymous and St. John's, Arizona 202. I started listening to No Agenda in 2017 is my fourth donation. I think the reason no agenda donations are down is no agenda has a lot more competition from independent dissident voices over the last couple of years thanks mainly to Rumble and X and even YouTube as they're relaxing their censorship Oh please YouTube is censoring people left and right

1:59:26 which brings us to the bonus clip. Yeah, yeah this was kind of a sad moment. Long time Google- I got it. I'm sorry. Okay one more time let's just pretend we didn't do any of that. Long time Google executive and former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has died she had lung cancer she played a key role in the success of google coming on as one of the first employees after renting her garage to googles founders For almost a decade, Wojcicki was the head of YouTube which she'd urged Google to acquire. Susan Wojcicki also a wife and mother of five was 56 years old. Ah! 56 man lung cancer is the worst my mom died of lung cancer yeah kind of a turbo version yes it took yeah my mom was alive a lot longer than Susan's sickness that went very very fast turbo gee

2:00:19 And she really liked censoring all of that misinformation about COVID and vaccines. Yep Don't want to say anything about it Little irony there, but... Yeah Sad Not the time to speak ill of the dead No! No sir That said, No Agenda is still my go-to source for reliable independent information on what's really going on in the world. You guys have a serious competition these days and almost every other source I follow is utilizing value for value but all in all you guys are still the best However, value for value is spreading and those of us who are willing to financially support quality work we spread much thinner than we were even two or three years ago. Well hold on a second it would be just dandy if everybody had a sustaining donation you can lower the amount everyone spreads it out that's a pipe dream but that would be good but people don't do that

2:01:16 I took Adam's advice and refused to have my photo taken by TSA on a recent flight from Phoenix to Oakland. I've already been photographed for their facial identity database, however the sneakiness of this program is what caused me to refuse continued participation! The TSA agent told me no problem and just made sure my ID matched my boarding pass. However When I went through the hands-up, don't shoot computer screening. I was flagged for suspicious items in both my crotch and buttocks area. Hey! What's that on your pants? I had to be patted down like a criminal. I complained at TSA supervisors but to no avail. Good luck The flight was then delayed in my honest opinion due to my non compliance. I have good reason to believe TSA was reviewing the video from my encounter trying to determine if they had

2:02:06 reason to ban me from my flight. Eventually they cleared the flight for boarding and I was able to board without incident although, it's a chilling effect by the way, without incident although I had airline personnel giving me suspicious looks during the process. Put that in your crotch! My father grew up in El Cerrito. We took the ride there during my trip to the Bay Area and talked about John and Adam with my parents many times, jokingly acting like I actually knew you guys obviously. I don't but sometimes it feels that way from being a long time listener of the podcast." Oh yeah! And he says, "...I was disappointed I missed the Bay Area meetup

Deepfake Porn, Google Search Policy and Wired Magazine

Google has announced new measures to reduce the visibility of non-consensual deepfake sexual imagery in search results. A senior writer from *Wired* discusses the "porn economy" and the burden on victims to remove images. The hosts criticize *Wired* for its historically inaccurate cover stories and question Google's willingness to act as a regulator of the internet.

deepfakes· google· wired magazine· taylor swift· onlyfans

2:08:08 And so here we go. This is a four-parter, this is from PBS. A four-parter? What?! A 4 parter on PBS? Yeah! PBS Wow...who expected that? Deep Fake Porn PBS is the first clip of Now Google has announced new steps to combat sexually explicit deep fakes in their search results. But there is no one size fits all solution for this complex problem. Paresh Daveh is a senior writer at Wired who's been reporting on all of this and joins us now, Paresh thank you so much for joining us how quickly have we seen the rise of non-consensual sexual images online? And what is driving this

2:09:10 I mean, it's huge. It's a huge problem the doubling of these reports over the last couple of years is what we've been seeing in places like the UK and the US. And it's, in part driven by those deep fakes that you were talking about. It is also driven in part by the porn industry right? This is all part of the porn economy now people are paying to download images and videos of this nature. The non-consensual nature yes but I would draw a distinction between porn and this non consensual image-based sexual abuse, which is not considered porn. You know, porn is generally viewed as more consensual." Now I just want to say one of our producers Eric Pepper decided he was going to send me every single back issue of Wired Magazine that he possesses which has been quite tedious. I go to the PO box and the guy comes out with like what is this? Comes out with a trolley

2:10:13 And Wired Magazine has been wrong on just about every single cover they have ever published. Seriously, the web is dead! This machine will change the world! The web is dead... One pill to erase- You should take shots at some of these covers and put together a compendium to prove this point of yours that you're making Well there's a lot of AI stuff from 2002 That was the yeah okay I mean, it's all... everything they've done is wrong. So okay! Let's hear about the Wired ending. Well that doesn't mean this guy is off. I actually was skeptical of this character because he came from Wired but then at the same time he's actually making some decent points. Okay It's okay. You can be happy with him. But it's not a cover, it's a PBS special. Yeah, part two

2:11:03 According to the company Sensity, 96% of deepfakes are sexually explicit and feature women who didn't consent to the creation of the content. Who is most vulnerable to being victimized in this way? Taylor Swift. It's everyone there has been recent surveys that have shown it's men, you know it's young boys There is a huge trend of sextortion thats been happening. Oh sextortion! Its anyone who has their photo on the internet which at this point its pretty much all of us Google has said, Paresh that it will reduce the prominence and relevance of deep fake images in its searches. That addresses deep fakes but what about actual images that are used without consent? Does Google go far enough to address those victims?

2:11:52 So Google already takes those measures that you described, that they've just recently applied to deepfakes. But what I reported recently is that the key issue here is that there are numerous ideas on the table that Google could adopt to reduce the burden on victims of image-based sexual abuse. These are ideas proposed by survivors, their advocates even employees within Google. And Google has just refused to adopt these ideas in part because they're worried about over censorship and part because they're worried it's coming off as too much of a regulator of the Internet but there are some basic ideas here that is just unfathomable why they haven't pursued them Well if Google does that I'd say time to short your alphabet stock who wants to use them now?

2:12:38 No good. Well, like you said they haven't done jack. No but they're threatening Part three You use this term image-based sexual abuse Can you describe some of what happens to victims who find themselves in this situation? Yeah Yeah, I mean it's people who might send an image consensually that they've taken themselves a selfie and then they've shared it with a friend. And then you know that friend has seeking revenge something goes wrong in that relationship. They post it online this could be surreptitious recordings of people there is a number of ways someone could

2:13:17 suffering from this issue. And then the big issue is then they have to go to the place where they were traumatized, go to the internet and find all these images try to get it taken down It's a lot of burden on the actual victims or survivors here To get rid of all this material from the internet and it takes years and years sometimes. Well that's something that all of us parents deal with when we talk to our children if your photo shows up on online it could be there forever how difficult is this process for victims to take this stuff down? And how willing are the technology companies to meet victims halfway and help them

2:13:55 So one of the things that's remarkable here is that there's a whole cottage industry of companies that have popped up charging sometimes thousands of dollars per sort of project or initiative to help victims get their images taken down. This problem is so bad, but there's like an economy that has been created around it and these companies help the victims find the images they even use AI to automatically find the image as soon pop up, immediately send takedown notices. But it is a pain sometimes companies will ask for identity verifications you have to send them your ID or they might question whether it was actually non-consensual maybe you've been an OnlyFans creator and then you have images of yourself leaked online

2:14:46 Google might question, well are you still commercializing those images? It's a whole mess that these survivors have to go through. Sounds to me like this guy is an OnlyFans creator as an aside just saying. Okay let's finish it up Besides tech companies who else can be addressing this problem Is this a law enforcement and regulatory policy problem as well Absolutely. One of the things that I heard consistently from employees at Google and reporting my story was that why aren't law enforcement doing more to go after the criminals? Why haven't we criminalized- Got work to do! More of this behavior?

2:15:26 across the country. Most states have criminalized aspects of this, but there's certainly not enough effort from law enforcement to go after the underlying criminals in part because sometimes they may be overseas or even when they are brought to justice you can't actually maybe get them in jail or get them to pay up the damages that they're supposed to do. That is Paresh Davey a senior editor at Wire joining us thanks so much Paresh Gosh, I'd hope there would be some kind of big payoff on that one. No, it was just a flop. It was like we ended off the cops didn't do anything and you're going to take years to get rid...it sounds like a ridiculous situation that probably wouldn't exist with the porn laws in general if they were a little more, um, I'd say what's like they were in the fifties Oh is that what you want? A very popular stance

Waymo, San Francisco Autonomous Vehicle Noise Complaints

Residents in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood are complaining about Waymo autonomous vehicles honking at each other in parking lots at 4:00 AM. Waymo acknowledged the issue and is implementing a fix. The cars are compared to "Furbies" communicating with each other in the middle of the night.

waymo· san francisco· autonomous vehicles· noise pollution· furbies

2:16:22 It's not popular and it's not what I want. I'm just saying that would solve the problem Let me do a couple other AI stories, I have two the first one is in your backyard new at 11 They say their neighbors are too noisy only the new neighbors aren't people they're Waymo cars honking in a parking lot and neighbors say it's keeping them up all night NBC Bay Area's Alyssa Gord shows us what they're seeing and hearing That sound of honking is waking up neighbors lately in this South of Market neighborhood. I get woken up at, you know four o'clock in the morning and I look down and I'm convinced now it's coming from the Waymo's. Neighbors shared videos of driverless Waymo cars filing into the lot and backing into spots which appears to trigger honking from other Waymos

2:17:08 The cars are robotic and they're honking at each other, and there's no one in the cars when it's happening. And that's absurd! That I think is the most frustrating thing about this is that there's just nobody to talk to. Like Furbies? Even on a corporate level you know...I'm finding it difficult Neighbors say they've reported this to Waymo and are now taking to social media to get the company's attention. In a statement, Waymo says it is aware its cars may briefly honk while navigating its parking lots. Waymo says it has identified the cause and is in the process of implementing a fix But these residents say they want to see a more neighborly response from the new autonomous vehicle company on the block. We love having them there, we just would like them to stop honking their horn at four in the morning repeatedly. You make good point Well that's story that went by I'm here and haven't heard this story it's great If you heard the honking you'd be all over it Imagine that, the honk and as you write is like Furby

JPMorgan, LLM Suite and the AI Chinese Wall

JPMorgan is deploying "LLM Suite," a wrapper for OpenAI's large language models, to 60,000 employees to assist with cognitive tasks like research and report writing. CEO Jamie Dimon compared the technology to the advent of electricity. Concerns are raised about maintaining "Chinese Walls" between different banking divisions to prevent unauthorized data access within the containerized system.

jpmorgan· jamie dimon· openai· llm· chinese wall

2:18:10 I found this to be quite interesting. JP Morgan, who doesn't know him is now deploying AI chatbots? And knowledge LLMs across all of their 60,000 employees. You recall back in April JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said that generative AI was in his opinion going to be as potentially significant as the advent of things like electricity and the internet and then it would ultimately be sort of a coach sitting on every employee's desk helping them write emails generate reports do research things like that

2:18:51 And now we have an idea of what he was really talking about. So they rolled out to about 60,000 employees and ultimately I believe hope to have it really ubiquitous within the bank a program called LLM Suite. And LLM suite is essentially their front end their wrapper, their portal into large language models of OpenAI which is the LLM behind ChatGBT and ultimately will be the LLM behind several other models. Will be a portal to several other models of LLMs and so this is essentially going to be sitting on JP Morgan's employees' desks and it's gonna be helping them do cognitive tasks and he's really kind

2:19:34 you know, surprising advent for this technology Andrew. Oh, well so this was CNBC and which I like it when they do negative stories. It wasn't really that negative but Andrew Ross Sorkin did ask an intelligent question you know ever since the...I know ever since the deregulation of the banks you can both be a bank and investment bank and there's supposed to be here comes Chinese wall remember? Remember that John? The Chinese wall. Yeah, the old Chinese wall. What was the Chinese wall supposed to do? It separates one thing from another so they don't interact

2:20:13 Well, how does that work in this case? You recall last year they actually banned the restricted chat GPT from employee use and that's because they really didn't want to expose their proprietary JP Morgan data to the models and train the models of open AI. So they're containerizing their data under this is a inability for them to use it. The data of JPMorgan without exposing it to the outside world but yeah, they're going to be able to use it to do research to do sort of right but I'm saying even inside It's

2:20:52 business can't be searching stuff that would exist in the banking business. The bankers shouldn't be searching stuff from the analysts, right? How does this all work?" I would assume that's right Andrew, but there are specific rules and obviously walls between the different parts of the business you wouldn't want for instance in wealth management folks to get potential data access from the investment bank, for instance. And you know they really took I mean it took them about a year to create this portal and i think its really because they wanted to do in a way that was data secure Andrew. Yeah Data Secure Containerize please! Doubt It What could possibly go wrong? Well short JPMorgan Also who cares if there's a Chinese wall or not I'd like to have some rationale for this For The Chinese Wall

2:21:42 No, I mean they deregulated the bank so they can do all these different things. They can be insurance companies, they can be investment bankers, they can be venture capitalists, they can be banks actual banks. They could do all of these things. So what if they interact with each other? I just want to go into that LLM and say how much did Jamie Dimon pay Epstein? Show me that, show me that. I want to know. Yeah it would be nice if you go into the LLM and exploit its knowledge base Yes only if it's containerized though So since we're in big tech, AI the socials We must go to the United Kingdom still in chaos.

UK Online Safety Act, Arrests for Social Media Posts

The UK government is using the Online Safety Act of 2023 to arrest individuals for social media posts deemed to incite racial hatred or disorder following riots in Leeds and other cities. Officials have warned that "keyboard warriors" are not safe from the law, even if posting from abroad. One man was sentenced to 20 months in prison for encouraging attacks on a hotel housing refugees.

united kingdom· online safety act· elon musk· incitement· free speech

2:22:42 a little bit of parameters around what's going on here. So there is, you know this talk of we're arresting anybody who does something wrong online and I do have a copy of the Online Safety Act which now this was passed in 2023 it still kind of being implemented but it puts new duties on tech firms to protect their users from illegal content which under the Act can include content involving hatred, disorder provoking violence or certain instances of disinformation. In the riots that have taken place in the UK since three little girls were stabbed at the Taylor Swift dance-a-thon more than 700 actually 741 arrests have been made

2:23:33 How many of those do you think relate to online offenses? Which seems to be the only thing I read about on ex-news social. This is a question for me? Yes! I'd say 100 Not even, 32 Okay But here's some honcho saying we're coming after you We will throw the forcefuls at the Laura people and whether your in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online we will come after you. Talk to me about that because we have seen some high profile figures whipping up the hatred, you talked about it in there with the officers in fact about this being added to by online commentary I mean I'm even thinking of the likes of Elon Musk getting involved what are you considering when it comes to dealing with people who are whipping up this kind of behaviour from behind keyboard maybe in a different country? Keyboard warriors! Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law

2:24:31 You can be guilty of offences of incitement, stirring up racial hatred. There are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the publishing of material All of those offenses are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets, and we'll come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets. The thugs and the yobs who were taking- who were causing the problems for communities." Now I really like how this is played out online And I really only have X and Mastodon Because it's always captioned by they're going to extradite Americans! I don't think so

2:25:09 But I would say if you're posting on X, if you're posting hey go and kick those immigrants ass. You probably should not visit the UK Here is an example of someone being convicted to 20 months for an online crime. You have been committed for sentence having pleaded guilty to an offense of publishing written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting intending thereby to stir up racial hatred. The context of your offending is that it arises out of the civil unrest and disorder in many parts of the United Kingdom On the night of 2-3 August, the Britannia Hotel in Leeds was attacked by people who threw missiles which damaged windows

2:26:12 At the time there were 210 occupants, many of whom were foreign refugees and asylum seekers. You took to social media in order to encourage others towards participation in the attacks upon the hotel as is recognized on your behalf this offense is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable Would you stand please? The sentence that I pass has been reduced by one third to reflect your guilty plea. The sentence is one of 20 months imprisonment." Now, you know this is the clip... Do you never see the guy? Correct And there's no background, you don't see anybody but this guy. I think this is staged Could be

2:27:02 That could be, but that does seem... I saw this clip. This is phony there's something phony about this clip Could be there may be some specific rules about what you can film and what angle you can film But I just like to say so there's a lot of people we have a lot of keyboard warriors in America Like oh yeah come on take it come on take it Limey We kicked your ass! Well this is true We already did this we tried him You came to see him We kicked you out We killed you brother I will remind everybody that if it had not switched to the immunity, President Trump might actually be in some trouble because even in the United States there are some limitations to your freedom of speech. You can't—I mean inciting a riot or an erection as everyone said meaning insurrection there are some limitations around what you can do am I correct and saying that John just want make sure I'm correct

2:27:57 I don't know that you are. Isn't it, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater? They always say that but where's the law against it? I don't know! That's what I'm asking so... As far as I'm concerned you could say fire in a theater and maybe might get beat up which would be appropriate Very appropriate But it seems like this is just become a... literally Twitter slash X is now all this, and I've tried to get out of the alcohol. And it's just all this it's just all oh my god! The way that's playing out in the UK as they're using it to come after people

CHAPTER 35 / 43 Discussion

Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and UK Media Censorship

Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are under intense media and government scrutiny for their roles in spreading information related to the UK riots. While Google and Meta are complying with government demands to remove "concerning content," Elon Musk's X is reportedly resisting. The mainstream media is accused of a unified campaign to frame the unrest solely as "far-right" thuggery.

2:28:42 Nigel Farage is one. I did more to get rid of the BNP as a political force in Britain than anybody else in the country. You amplified this misinformation. No, no Tom you're getting it wrong. Give us clarity! You didn't just say that though Nigel. I did. You also said the internet was awash with all sorts of theories all of which proved to be unfounded but that's what led to the riots in Southpaw but you indulged in those theories... not been told whether this person was on a list or not. I don't know the answer to that, do you? No one does! No i dont know but thats why its a legitimate question Do you think we deserve to know? Absolutely I think the police need to get us an answer So my question is still valid Your question is valid but not in the way that you put it because you know what your doing You suggested some reports suggest he was known to security services That he came on in a boat and that he was an asylum seeker Thats not true And I didn't And my questions for you is did you know that that wasn't true

2:29:37 I don't know now whether this man was known to police or not. So why are you promoting those reports? Because i want to know the truth, I wanted to know it then and I want to know it now. So he uh... Geez what the hell crappy show is that where they talk all over each other Oh that's LBC That's where-that's where its all playing out on LBC But it really seems like they want to get somebody, they want a guy and that guy is Tommy Robinson. For Tommy Robinson, a man who has been stirring up anti-Muslim hatred online for decades is back in the spotlight accused of influencing the worst riots Britain has seen over a decade by spreading anti Muslim disinformation to his 900 thousand followers on X.

2:30:21 So before people get on quick and condemn the angry men, that anger is justified. So who is Tommy Robinson? Tommy Robinson whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a well known anti Muslim far right figure in the UK. He co-founded the English Defence League, an anti Muslim organisation in 2009 Robinson's anti Muslim activities heightened a few years later when grooming gang scandals in towns across England rocked the UK Robinson took lines from Islamic scriptures to suggest on street grooming as a uniquely muslim issue Twitter banned Robinson in 2018 and Meta followed suit a year later for his anti Muslim posts

2:31:03 Under Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, Robinson's account was reinstated in late 2023. Over the years Robinson has raised millions of pounds in donations from followers a Guardian investigation in 2018 found that he also receives financial political and moral support from foreign groups and individuals including US think tanks right-wing Australians and Russian trolls. So, where is Tommy Robinson now? Robinson has been abroad since 28 July He left the UK on the eve of a court hearing over contempt of court proceedings he has since been spotted on a luxury resort on Greek administered Southern Cyprus Now with far-right violence causing disorder across the UK and arrests underway many are asking what will happen to Tommy Robinson Well they want him They want him for sure they want him

2:31:53 By the way, there's only one case law in First Amendment that I can find. It's Brandenburg versus Ohio a from 1969 landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court interpreting the First Amendment to the US Constitution. The court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is, quote, directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action which seems iffy

2:32:32 Well, that precludes a yelling fire in a crowded theater. Yes yes which is very old It's just kind of an accepted... I think it's it's just one of those agreed you agree Right so if you're online and you're saying hey go beat up some immigrants that could be a problem If there's a riot underway that could be a problem It's just interesting to see what's happening in general. It's like, wow all the keyboard warriors are out and the memes are hilarious of course and you know they're like yeah this will get you locked up for 20 months in the UK! Okay great memes everybody so I think they'll calm this down. The mainstream has already

2:33:29 Man, the front pages for the 8th of August was all the same picture. In UK they always do this nightly and say here's all the papers for tomorrow and they show you that the front pages are all the same with people saying United Britain stands firm against thugs and yobs! Thousands take to the streets to counter threats from far right! And there it is we've always said that this was about the far-right I have an NPR clip from the UK called UK Odd Report. It's only 17 seconds Across the United Kingdom today, thousands of people turned out for anti-racist rallies after anti immigration riots took place this week following the stabbing deaths of several children in a seaside town In London people gathered outside the right wing Reform UK Party headquarters

2:34:21 They're blaming Farage. Yes, far right! Very subtle. Yeah far right we've been tracking this for months yet years far right far right it was far right It has now emerged that the government in London has started flagging content it deems to be misinformation, but also something referred to as concerning content. X is among those who have been asked to remove posts which British officials consider to threaten the country's national security and while reports say Google Meta and TikTok are complying with these demands x is said to be resisting them That's right Elon free speech

2:35:00 The accusations that social sites... Because they don't have enough people. It's like, oh brother we have to do what? Forget it! The accusations that social sites are providing a platform for hate while allegedly unaccountable for that is well allegedly unaccountable for that what is coming from cabinet members and MPs alike Well, yeah, it's set in structure Yeah not good but the bottom line is I'm all for X being a free-for-all, do whatever you want. Although I see zero posts or anything from the left? I think they've all... Oh don't! Oh please! I haven't seen it

CHAPTER 36 / 43 Discussion

Rumble, Advertising Lawsuits and the Old Publishing Model

Rumble is joining Elon Musk in legal actions against advertising federations like GARM, alleging a boycott of "dissident" platforms. The discussion notes that advertising has always been a form of censorship and compares Rumble's aggressive stance to the old-fashioned newspaper model of the 1920s, where publishers pressured businesses to buy ad space.

rumble· garm· advertising· censorship· macy's

2:35:40 Go find the Michael Hayden threads and then just go down the line again, click on any of those people that are yeah you're right Michael. Yeah Trump sucks! Oh no wait but wait wait that's freedom of speech not freedom of reach it's not popping up is my point Well, not a yeah because you've already been that the elgos have defined you I guess and they're not gonna give You that stuff right? We have to go for seek it. Yeah, you can find his tons of money You could find porn on x2 if you go seek its I mean, it's all yes, you can Oh really mediocre porn It's usually a link not that I know But

2:36:24 Please, you know the Garm lawsuit and you know advert. You don't expect advertisers to show up And what was that all about? Seriously if I mean freedom of speech and advertising they're perpendicular Advertising is always censorship if only for the product or a competing products You know what I mean? It's like we're advertising is an anathema, as the word you're looking for. Anathema thank you. I mean, anathema to free speech. Well by the way... If you want both it's really going to be tough Yes where was Eli the coffee guy today missing in action? I don't know I didn't see him. But but you know we talk about black rifle and other kinds of coffee because he's not advertising He's mentioning his code

2:37:18 Maybe that's why he didn't send in a donation today. I don't know well because you mentioned something, I don't remember you playing some other coffee Possibly plug out of the coffee get so much free stuff from Eli because I can drink it fast enough Because I like black rifle. I like black right Tina has had his Decaf but my point is oh, it's decaffeinated yeah My point is, you can't be yelling at advertisers. But I know what's happening! I know what the plan is and it's interesting because that lawsuit was not just Elon against Garm, the Federation of World Advertisers rating system which has apparently folded was like two guys

2:38:10 probably most likely but it was also rumble rumble rumble rumble it could be rumble it could be bitch you know it was rumble and what And what Rumble is now doing, is they are going after advertisers who won't advertise. So they're making this... That's the old way of doing things! Yep, they're saying hey Dunkin Donuts you don't want to advertise? We're gonna... You know that's the true publishing model by the way people don't wanna realize it But that is the old model. It goes way back into the 20s and 30s, especially in the newspaper business where they would take over some city you have two or three newspapers are competing but they'd all want these like Macy's to average... Where's your Macy's advertising?

2:38:57 How come you guys aren't advertising? This is the type of sales, a different kind of sales. You go in and say hey! You guys didn't advertise in the newspaper last Sunday paper. You know you got a big sale coming up how come we didn't advertise? Well you know we really can't afford... Oh really I don't think you can afford not to advertise unless you want us to roll out this scandalous news about how you're treating your employees. Yeah exactly what's that in your mouth Duncan So that's the way it used to be. Now they're so passive, you wonder why they went out of business all these newspapers? They don't have any balls anymore! Well it could be changing and that's what Rumble is doing. Rumble has got the right idea... That is the old-fashioned... It sounds corrupt because it is but it's the old way of doing things.

Brazil Plane Crash, ATR-72 Icing Issues

A Voepass ATR-72 aircraft crashed in a residential area near Sao Paulo, killing all 61 people on board. While social media rumors suggested a hit job on cancer doctors, aviation analysis points to severe icing conditions at 17,000 feet. The ATR-72 has a history of icing-related accidents, often resulting in unrecoverable flat spins.

brazil· sao paulo· atr-72· icing· aviation safety

2:39:50 But in general, I mean don't expect a lot of advertisers to be lining up your door if you tell them to go F themselves and you have... I know. You guys can go F yourselves okay? Alright good We're outta here Quick update on this, since everyone wants to know and I am the aviator, the airman on duty. Brazilian airline Voipass has confirmed that all 61 passengers and crew were killed when one of its planes crashed in Sao Paulo state The ATR-72 aircraft went down in a residential area in the city of Vinhedo around 80 kilometers north of Sao Paulo City Social media videos show the aircraft tumbling out of the sky as you can see here

2:40:31 Authorities say they found the black box and are working to determine the cause of the crash. So, the news this morning is on X, of course... There were six cancer doctors on that plane! It was taken down!! Well I want to hear you-I was going to send you a note because they-they-I saw it in couple other videos are pretty spectacular because it shows the plane in a flat spin. Oh yeah, it's a flat spin. Which is like oh there ya go, your not surviving this. No But it was like I looked up the ATR 72 and it has on the wiki page, has all the list of all the accidents that's ever had. Yep And 90% of all the accidents is ever had was icing issues. They, I guess the plane ice is up really easy and then craps out Yeah there's a so there's two things this I believe this was icing There were severe icing

2:41:27 conditions at 17,000 feet where they were flying and all turboprops always have to be aware of icing conditions particularly T-tail which is what the ATR is. And there's a you know that the things you have to do to get out of icing The first thing is you immediately have to reduce your engines. And from what I could tell, that's just from what I could hear didn't sound like they did that until they were almost down at the ground so it might've been inexperience or poor training but this was nothing more than a very and icing August Brazil Southern Hemisphere you bet very unfortunate day wrecker for sure

2:42:12 but not some kind of hit job on cancer scientists. It was icing and I think it was also the, you remember that plane crashed with one of the wives of the 9-11 victims who was making a big deal about stuff? And then that plane crashed, there was also icing I don't know if you remember that. We followed that for a while. I don't remember it's always like well who was on the plane this is when you're in that flat spin no there's there's no recovery pretty much not in that kind of aircraft so... That's an aircraft to avoid, If You Can!

2:42:51 Yeah, if you look at the wiki page for that aircraft there's a lot they has a lot of issues very slow There's lots of these planes out there too. So you don't be unfair but it's always icing yeah the Dutch City Hopper a lot of those planes are like that so Be careful of icing now on the cancer tip. Oh boy What what could this be? Diseases of all sorts become more common as we get older. But now a new study shows millennials are at higher risk of developing certain cancers compared to baby boomers and what doctors say could be driving that increase I would never have thought anything seriously wrong with me being so young.

Millennial Cancer Rates, Obesity and Environmental Factors

A study by the American Cancer Society and the University of Calgary found that 17 out of 34 types of cancer are being diagnosed more frequently in younger adults, particularly millennials born around 1990. While researchers point to obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and environmental chemicals, the hosts question why other factors like recent vaccinations are not explored in mainstream reports.

millennials· cancer· american cancer society· obesity· university of calgary

2:43:38 couldn't believe she had colorectal cancer. But researchers say there's growing evidence younger people are more likely to develop certain cancers than their parents. What we want to understand now is why are these individuals not only being diagnosed with cancer at young ages, but why are they also facing poorer outcomes than the generations before them? Miranda Dr. Fidler-Banutia is a research scientist at the University of Calgary, she worked with the American Cancer Society on a study that found in the US 17 out 34 cancers are being diagnosed more often in younger adults. Fidler Banutia says the risk of developing some

2:44:15 including small intestine, kidney and pancreatic cancer were two to three times greater for millennials born around 1990 compared to baby boomers. And then we also found for some of these cancers that mortality was also increasing in these younger people Yeah I'm just gonna say it because come on now! Come on the number one group who wanted to go out during COVID what was their requirement? Gee did they take that into consideration in this Survey, this test is puzzling. It's so puzzling! Overall death rates from cancer have been dropping but the American study found there was a higher risk of death for young people with certain cancers including endometrial, testicular and colorectal cancer We don't want to freak people out it's not these are still very low numbers overall Thank you Dr Shadi Ashamallah is a cancer surgeon in Toronto while the new study is American

2:45:09 He says cancer cases are rising in younger Canadians too. His hospital, Sunnybrook opened the first colorectal clinic for younger adults Dr Ashamallah says more can be done So we're actually winning in the population over 50 and those colorectal cancer rates are going down In populations that were screening And so screening is absolutely the key. Check in with your body when something doesn't feel right, seek advice from your doctor. Bryna Dillman was a patient at Sunnybrook Hospital now 46 she's thankful her cancer was caught early I'm so grateful to my doctor who did not brush this away Doctors say it's not entirely clear what's driving the increase in cases but 10 of the 17 cancers rising and younger adults are obesity related

CHAPTER 43 / 43 Discussion

Tip of the Day, Rodent Control and Sign-off

The "Tip of the Day" suggests using birth control products like Evolve or ContraPest for humane rodent management instead of traditional poisons that can harm predators like hawks. The show concludes with the "In the Morning" sign-off from Adam Curry in Fredericksburg, Texas, and John C. Dvorak in Silicon Valley, followed by a musical montage regarding the decline in donations.
