About this episode

Joe Biden’s final appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago sparked intense speculation as John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry analyzed visual discrepancies in the President’s appearance. The hosts examined theories regarding the use of sophisticated CIA-style masks and body doubles for figures like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton to mask health issues. This analysis of the DNC opener highlights a perceived disconnect between the party leadership and the reality of the administration’s final months.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently revised job growth downward by 818,000 positions, prompting Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo to claim she was unfamiliar with the data while accusing Donald Trump of fabrication. Meanwhile, the Democratic platform’s focus on Project 2025 was dismissed as a red herring, with Curry noting that Matt Walsh successfully redirected the document’s primary URL to his own film site. In the UK, the government initiated Operation Early Dawn to release prisoners early to accommodate those arrested during recent riots, while Ukraine launched a massive drone strike against Moscow amid a controversial ban on the Russian-linked Orthodox Church.

Nancy Pelosi’s verbal slip, coining the non-existent word impusted, became a focal point of the evening’s mockery alongside Josh Shapiro’s uncanny imitation of Barack Obama’s vocal cadence. Adam Curry shared a personal report of a surprise Texas TDLR inspection at an Austin hair salon, illustrating what he described as the administrative state’s overreach into small business operations. The episode concluded with a review of the film Fly Me to the Moon and a recommendation for rollerblade-style office chair wheels.

00:00 The UK's got all these issues, this guy issues. I've heard there's issues. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. Thursday, August 22nd, 2024. This is your award-winning Get Money, Asian Media Assassination episode 1688. This is no agenda. Four years or busts and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all saying, save the brown bear. I'm John C. Dvorak. We're not saying save the brown bear. What is that? Did you know that brown bear is an endangered species and the bear we normally think of as bears around here are black bears. It's a different bear, a different animal. I did not and I'm so happy to know this. Does he poop in the woods though is the big question. They all poop in the woods. I know you're a little irked.

01:00 You know, we've been working on our exit strategy for about 16 years and 8 months. The Curry-Dvorak microphone company is supposed to be the exit strategy and you brought out a dog, man, before the show. What? That was a dog. Hello. Eh, what are you gonna do? Well, can I lift your spirits? Do you have something funny? Uplifting. I am using the Curry One Beta and I love it. Oh, you're talking about that dynamic? Yes. Yes. It sounds exactly the same. It's it's it has a it sounds exactly the same has a little bit more. I mean,

01:45 I haven't put on the scope yet, but it has a little bit more punch to it, just a tiny bit. Yeah, you say that. To me it sounds... Well, you're listening through things. And I'm not using headphones, I'm using speakers. So, to me, if you hadn't told me that, I wouldn't have thought anything. Exactly. And I wasn't going to tell you, but you were so bummed out about that absolute dog you brought. Isn't that a nice little mic though, that when you got there? Oh, no, this is the one. Did you unscrew the top of it? No, no, this is... Oh, you have to take a... You have to feel the machining, the quality of the machining when you unscrew the top. It's just like, wow, this is pretty... Yeah, I mean, I saw the pictures of it unscrewed, but forget it. I mean...

02:28 What I love about it, it's a front spitter, so I'm spitting down the tube. It's tiny compared to the EV320, because that's what I'm comparing it to, the EV320. It is beautiful. It's about half the size, yeah. Ah, no, it's a third of the size. It's great. Yeah, the EV320 is oversized. I don't know. Well, because that's meant for kick drums. It was never meant for podcasting. Anyway, anyway, there you go. That should make you happy. But we're in business. It's a step in the right direction. What more do we need? We're done. Slap a logo on it, we're good to go. I'm happy. I still gotta find the valve. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay everybody, four more years! Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Well, we both watched the DNG

CHAPTER 02 / 47 Discussion

DNC Night One, Biden Body Double and Mask Theories

John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry analyze the first night of the Democratic National Convention, focusing on Joe Biden's appearance. Dvorak posits that the man on stage was a body double or an actor wearing a highly sophisticated CIA-style mask, citing discrepancies in height, ear shape, and eye movement. They extend this theory to other figures like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, suggesting the use of rubber masks to obfuscate age and health issues.

03:22 Democrat National Gaslighting. Oh my lord. I see you have a number of clips and I can probably add to what you already have. These are all short clips too, I should mention. Because it's like... By the way, did you see John Legend trying to cover the... Oh man, so it was Legend, it was Sheila E. and her, which apparently no one at CNN has ever heard of her, covering Let's Go Crazy by Prince. And you realize that John Legend has no range in his voice. And you also realized that Prince was really good because he just botched this thing. I like her though. She's pretty good, man. She got jobs. Was she the guitar player or the drummer? The guitar. Sheila E is the percussionist slash drummer. Yeah, well her was... She did end the guitar solo in a tribute to Kamala Harris on her back with her legs spread. Oh, John! John! John! Man! Oh, man!

04:26 But tell me I'm wrong. No So, all right since you brought that up I'll just say being a very close watcher and I I watched all of night one Almost got in marital trouble for it then. Oh, okay. See we went on forever Tina's like I'm going to bed. This is no good. I'm sorry. She went I'm going to bed, honey. I Night two, I kind of skipped most of it, though. I had the Yahoo, the YouTube TV in one ear while we were watching something else. Oh, you're double dueling there. Double dipping. Double dueling. I like that. Double dueling. Dueling shows. You get one against the other. I can't do that. We've been watching Veep, so it was double dueling, watching Veep while watching this was odd because it's so close in synchronicity.

05:22 with Season 5. So of course, but really the first night I'm waiting for Joe to come out. You were waiting a long time. I did wait a long time. And I was waiting to see if it was long, daddy long legs. And here are my observations. First of all, they did not show him walking on the stage or on the stage until the very end. But from the waist up when he went to go hug his daughter, they went to the only time they went to this top shot of the stage, never went to it the whole evening. And and then as I'm watching him,

06:03 I'm telling you this was not Joe Biden. And you can see it in his eyes. His eyes were open, not the squinty type eyes that he normally has. And this was the actor who plays Joe Biden, I know I'm sounding crazy, but I have more to this, who just did his all of the old, I mean, I'm surprised he didn't do hairy legs. He just did all the old material. Because that's all. It was a, it was everything you've ever heard him say. Now, first of all, before you continue, I will say I did see him walk on stage. I don't know what camera shots, what you were watching.

06:40 I was watching the CBS online live feed so maybe it was different maybe I think I saw I had different feet I saw him walking on stage and I saw him hugging it without the top shot so I saw him and did you think that he looked normal height I didn't see him as the tall one. I was watching, I also clipped to the Benny show who is doing a voice, it was something we've always promised to do, we never do, where they just kibitz while the guy's doing his speech. Oh that's fun, yeah that's fun. And they said that they, he believed it was Biden number four. Well let me add to this, so then at the end

07:20 The whole family comes out and I saw Jill reaching up much higher, much higher to hug him. So that was my clue. And his grandson with the long hair, who I didn't know was his grandson, I thought it was his granddaughter. They were like, go stand with grandpa. And the kid's like, who's that? I missed that, but that's funny. I can imagine. So this is going to sound very weird, but knowing this technology has been perfected since a family member of my members of mine have told me about it dating back to 1967. I think this is yes. And just to add to that, they exploited this idea in the in the TV series Mission Impossible. Yep.

08:08 And they showed it then and according to the disguise expert at CIA woman who came out and started giving lectures at TED Talks, she said it was available then and it's been so perfected that it's ridiculous. And you can even look online and you'll see people with a $300 mask they just put, now it's just a random person, but it looks so good. I am convinced, number one, that, uh, this is gonna sound so crazy, but I- It does. You sound nuts. I sound nuts. This was not Joe Biden. This was the guy who does the voice very well. Just, it was his swan song, really. It was him saying goodbye. Oh, this is my last performance, everybody.

08:52 I'm gonna get a bonus. Subsequently, Nancy Pelosi... It's the jacked up Joe, by the way. Well, yeah, but it wasn't the jacked up Joe the way we've seen the other Joe. I think it's the same jacked up Joe that gave the State of the Union and maybe the same guy. Okay, possibly. So, mask, look at the ears, it's connected to the skull. The weird thing about the ears is his right ear was longer than his left ear. Did you notice this? Yes I did and I paid very close attention to this but I'm going to tell you something else now. Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, possibly Barack Obama, it's them wearing masks. I'm telling you there is no way

09:37 that Hillary Clinton looks like that on television anymore. Bill Clinton said, this is not plastic surgery. I know my way around Botox and plastic surgery. No, I think that this is the new adrenochrome. It's like, oh, we're going to go out? All right, everybody, put it on. I mean, it was, there's no way they can, you can't even do that with makeup. No way. Nancy Pelosi, she is a 90. You cannot look like that and her eyes were so deep in her skull it was like they were at the back of her head. She was using an old thick mask. So I'm just saying that there's something... She can barely move her mouth. There's something really off about this. And she's chewing on something when she gave a speech. Could, could, could. She's like chewing her cud. There was some rubber from the mask in her mouth. The only one not wearing a mask was Michelle Obama. That was Michelle, Mike. And it was just...

10:33 There is no way and it's irksome to me because remember people didn't even know they changed out Ant Viv on What was that on Fresh Prince? I mean people they've changed out people in TV series and no one notices it happens all the time and When you see these videos of someone putting on one of these masks you're like right away your whole brain goes Wow This is a person I cannot see it's a mask. I think that's what we're doing now. And by the way, I want in I want to look that good when I do my meetups. Fantastic. So, with that out of the way, we can go on to the gaslighting because if they weren't wearing masks of rubber, then they were definitely wearing masks that obfuscate their lies and wickedness. What a bunch of horrible, horrible people with nothing other to say than Trump sucks, Project 2025,

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Project 2025, Heritage Foundation and DNC Gaslighting

The hosts critique the DNC's focus on Project 2025, describing the 900-page Heritage Foundation document as a red herring used for political theater. They highlight a segment by Kenan Thompson where he treated the document like a software End User License Agreement (EULA). Curry argues the document is largely innocuous and that the Democratic portrayal of it as a "Handmaid's Tale" scenario is performative gaslighting.

project 2025· heritage foundation· kenan thompson· dnc· gaslighting· eula

11:31 and go go black woman it's like oh my god so the project 2025 is such a red herring with the big book with the big giant book who did whose idea was this hit that the Heritage Foundation this was a setup well again the whole probably the whole beauty of it is the The only people who have read it includes me. And as I said, you could have done these 900 pages in 30 pages, but they ran it through chat GPT and it came out to this big flowery language. But it's what, you know, it's like, oh, it's Handmaid's Tale. No, no, it's not. It's and then, you know, did you see the woman who came out and forget who she was?

12:20 She brought out the book the first time, the first night, and she had this weird tick where her tongue kept slithering out of her mouth. No, I did not see that. Oh, man. She's a lizard. Well, no. Remember, this is the old FBI slash CIA interrogation observation. When someone says something and then their tongue comes out, that means BS. I'm lying. But she had, it was like a tick with her. Who was that woman? And you can see it online, you'll see the videos everywhere. And all of a sudden it's like her tongue came out and almost touched her chin. And she would do it in between lies about this Project 2025. But the dramatization of this big book, which these people have not read. The only one who did kind of a good take on it was Kenan Thompson from SNL.

13:12 Because he brought in, he had a good bit, I have 30 seconds of it. You ever seen a document that could kill a small animal and democracy at the same time? Now he's holding the book, I mean they were passing it off from speaker to speaker. Here it is. You know how when you download an app and there are hundreds of pages there that you don't read, it's just the terms and conditions, and you just click agree, right? Well, these are the terms and conditions of a second Trump presidency. You vote for him, you vote for all of this. Let's take a look. And then he throws it down to my, you know, it's like, it's the most, it's the weirdest performative gaslighting I've seen in my podcasting career. It was just, I mean, wow.

14:08 And of course these people on the floor, I mean, they're all meant to cheer. That's what you do. I mean, it's a party. It's like a meetup. Everyone's all jitty about it. But man, it's like, seriously? You haven't read it, Kenan. It's just, it's very innocuous at best. Oh, they want to downsize government. Okay. Oh, gee, that's been a thing. The Democrats, I think, used to say that at one point. I'm without words. Well, I like the EULA bit. That was not bad. Actually, I have a little wrap-up from... No, how about this? Why don't I play a supercut? Because this whole evening last night was completely centered around the Obamas

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Michelle Obama Speech, Media Supercut and Pronunciation

Adam Curry plays a supercut of media pundits praising Michelle Obama's DNC speech as a "sacred task" and a "sermon." The hosts discuss Bill Clinton's pronunciation of Kamala Harris's name and the media's shifting standards on what constitutes a racist mispronunciation. They note the absence of Harris from the room during the Obamas' speeches, suggesting internal party friction.

michelle obama· barack obama· bill clinton· kamala harris· cnn· media supercut

15:02 So they brought out Hillary, Bill, Hillary. By the way, did you hear Bill mispronounce Camila? Yes, yes I did, but what was funny to me was that Puerto Rican convention when they were doing the voting... I didn't hear that. The guy from Puerto Rico, we vote all our votes to Kamala. They said Kamala which is supposed to be racist. Well here is the racist Bill Clinton. Ask for their help and then follow our leader.

15:40 Kamala, and ask them how can I help you? Kamala? No! That's wrong, Bill! Yeah, Kamala like Pamela. But Kamala like Pamela is not necessarily racist like Kamala. Oh, you have... Oh, I'm sorry, you have not been watching the news channels. If you say Kamala instead of Kamala, then you are a racist. It's the new N-word. Oh yeah! And then so I went back into the archive from we had a C-SPAN clip when she went to Cleveland, Ohio in 2020 and with a mask on. Is this the one where she says how to pronounce her name? Yes, here it is. Of course, I pulled that one. Here it is. Hello, Cleveland. It's Cleveland! It's Kamala. You talk right over it. Don't do that.

16:27 Don't do that. Yeah, it's Camilla. She says Camilla herself. Well, there's still a clip out there. We had it where she says somebody asked her, how do you pronounce your name? Is it Camilla or Camilla? Yeah, I can't find it doesn't matter. You can pronounce it any way you want. But this is now this is 2024. Now it's racist like so many things. So it was built around Bill and Hillary and then subsequently Barack Obama, I'm telling you mask, and then Michelle Obama and you know it was built around her because of the supercut of the media in lockstep. Michelle Obama. I think Michelle Obama's speech was probably the most

17:14 effective powerful political speech I've ever heard. Best convention speeches I've ever seen by anybody in any circumstance. She's probably the best non-political speaker in the country. Probably the best speech I've ever seen. There is no one who has a speech delivery like Michelle. No one on the political, you know, in the political pantheon. Boy did Michelle Bring it. And she did it with her arms out. That sleeveless outfit, you know. It was just wonderful. She was masterful, you know, not only in her words but in her expressions. This was a masterful act of leadership. It was a sacred task. It was like an oasis. I didn't realize I had been in a spiritual desert. As a white man, that was just so powerful. Man, she has got some skills. I am surprised we still have a roof over our head.

18:05 She blew the roof off of this arena last night. That in that moment when you left your body. As a piece of political communication, I'm not sure I can't think that I've seen anyone do it better than I saw her do it last night. She is beyond politics. He always seems to transcend politics. She's not a politician. Cultural figure. She transcends politics. This was a cultural moment. Subtle. deep, thought-provoking, surprising, unusual, perfectly deliberate, stunning speech. Michelle LaVon Robinson Obama from the South Side of Chicago, honey, was on that stage tonight. And yes, she preached. Michelle Obama preached tonight. She gave a sermon to this country. She gave instructions and things that needed to be done. Vulnerability in a way that makes you see one another as human beings. Put it up.

Matt Walsh Project 2025 Hack, Austin Hair Salon Report

Adam Curry praises Matt Walsh for redirecting Project2025.com to his own film's website. Curry also provides a "hair and hooker report" from an Austin salon, noting that clients are opting for cheaper procedures as an economic indicator. He describes how the "Project 2025" narrative has successfully permeated liberal social circles in Texas.

matt walsh· project 2025· austin· hair salon· economic indicators· hooker report

18:51 there with Barack Obama's 2004 speech or Reagan's 1980 speech, Ted Kennedy's speech. By the way, you know, you keep kind of indicating that this was done yesterday. Obama spoke on Tuesday. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to indicate that. Yesterday was Clinton and Walls. I'm sorry. But I went to Austin to have my hair done and I still go there. It's important. One more thing, which is that it was notable that when the Obama spoke, Harris was not in the room. Oh no, of course not. No, no, no, no, no. No, because they're mad. They're mad. They're feuding. By the way, kudos to Matt Walsh. So he had posters all over Chicago.

19:48 says find out about Project 2025, project2025.com and it goes to his website with his, you know, Am I racist? where he goes undercover as a soy boy. Yes, so somehow we got project 2025.com is very that's a good hack. I like that a lot Yeah, so he's taking a hint from the nor gender show. We used to do that all the time So I went to have my hair done yesterday still go to the same hairdresser in Austin because she's a liberal but she's from El Paso so in her dad's like a you know Fox News watcher and

20:29 And we always can talk very freely and there's no, you know, we don't get mad. We just talk about stuff. But I go there for the hair and hooker report, you know, and she's, by the way, we're on track. She says, oh yeah. She says everyone in the hair industry is talking about the clients not coming back, people not doing the same extensive procedures, you know, less color, cheaper color. So we're on track with our economic indicators. And she also said it is unbelievable. She had dinner with a friend of hers who she's known for since her college days. And, you know, and my my person said something to the effect of, well, you know, it's like everyone, you know, just everybody kind of wants the same thing. And her friend jumped down her throat. You need to educate yourself. Do you even know what Project 2025 is about? Handmade cell

CHAPTER 06 / 47 Discussion

DNC Freedom Framing, Tim Walz and Hillary Clinton

The hosts analyze the Democratic Party's strategic reframing of the word "freedom" during the convention. Clips of Tim Walz and Hillary Clinton illustrate the shift toward defining freedom as reproductive rights and government protection from corporate greed. Curry suggests Republicans should pivot to the term "liberty" to counter this rhetorical maneuver.

tim walz· hillary clinton· freedom· dnc· reproductive rights· republicans

21:22 So the programming is strong on this. Oh yeah. It's strong. That's the idea. It's very good work. And what I saw throughout this convention, including the signage, is reframing the term freedom. Did you notice that at all? Well, I did notice the analysis of the use of freedom because yesterday, which was the Walls Night, It was about freedom, but mostly freedom to get an abortion. Well, yeah, so it is a... I have two clips that will kind of prove it. Freedom! I'm sorry. Here's Tim Walz. When Republicans use the word freedom, they mean that the government should be free to invade your doctor's office. Really? Is that what the Republicans mean with freedom? Excellent, Tim.

22:13 Corporations, free to pollute your air and water. And banks, free to take advantage of customers. But when we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love. So that was a slight reframing, but Hillary Clinton brought it home. What do I see? I see freedom. I see the freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our lives, our loves, our families.

22:57 The freedom to work with dignity and prosper. To worship as we choose or not. To speak our minds freely and honestly. I see freedom from fear and intimidation, from violence and injustice, from chaos and corruption. I see the freedom to look our children in the eye and say, in America you can go as far as your hard work and talent will take you, and mean it. And you know what? On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our 47th president.

23:47 Amazing. Amazing. And with the mask, it was great. So the Republicans should go all in on liberty or something. They should stay away from freedom because if you really listen to just saying freedom to do this little thing, you can have the freedom to do that thing, but you're not really free as in free American citizens.

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

Planned Parenthood Mobile Clinic, Vasectomy Truck and Soy Boys

Adam Curry reports on a Planned Parenthood mobile clinic offering free vasectomies and abortions near the DNC in Chicago, including a promotion for free hot dogs from The Wiener's Circle. They play a clip of CNN's Dana Bash discussing how the DNC is targeting "men comfortable in their own skin" rather than "testosterone-laden" voters. Dvorak and Curry mock the concept of the "soy boy" demographic.

planned parenthood· vasectomy· chicago· dana bash· cnn· soy boys

24:24 I mean, I found it dystopian. Not that I was all jacked up about the Republican national gaslighting, but you know, it's like, come on, you guys are liars and everything. Everybody had something to say about Trump. Were they, was the RNC talking about Harris that much? No. I don't think so either. No, this Trump thing, there's some numbers that came out. I mean, there's a bunch of super cuts. They don't have one of them. I should have grabbed one, I guess. where they're Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, they're all Trump nuts. And it was kind of an embarrassment. Talking about free though, there is something free that we should at least discuss because I have a good clip on it. Yeah, yeah, I know what was free, yeah. Free, which you know, there's not enough, I guess they determined that there were not enough neutered Democrat males. And so they decided to bring a free vasectomy truck around so people can just go in there and get clipped.

25:21 But there was a couple of kickers to this. Nobody mentioned much, but it's mentioned in this report. This is the DNC clip. Free vasectomy, free hot dog clip. Supposedly they are offering free abortions and vasectomies. Supposedly because it's a moving vehicle, it's mobile, and you'd have to go inside, but they say that they have a long list of people, and right now they're all scheduled up in offering free abortions and vasectomies. Wow. Planned Parenthood has been bragging about their mobile health clinic on social media writing, here we come Chicago! Rich Edson is in Chicago. Hey Harris, well there's more than that you know. Frida is here. She is a 20-foot tall inflatable IUD, that's courtesy of the Americans for Contraception group, they're displaying that near the United Center where the convention is. Meanwhile the Wieners Circle restaurant

26:16 is working with Planned Parenthood and the Chicago Abortion Fund to offer free hot dog coupons to anyone who did actually receive an abortion or vasectomy from the Planned Parenthood Great Rivers Mobile Clinic today and tomorrow. Aw, ghoulish. That's ghoulish. I like the hot dog aspect to it. To your point, here's Dana Bash from CNN explaining what men the DNC really wants to reach and the Democrat Party. But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night.

26:54 who can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone laden, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out of the RNC or might want to listen to that but also in addition understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman and that's something that they really are trying to work on with male voters beyond the base. I don't, I mean how many are there of these male voters, these soy, soy men? Soy boys. Soy boys, yeah. I think there's more than you think. I think you may be correct sir. You know I can't figure out the Cuomo kid.

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

Chris Cuomo NewsNation Report, DNC Corporate Suites

Chris Cuomo's report from the DNC floor is featured, where he points out the hypocrisy of anti-corporate rhetoric while wealthy donors occupy luxury suites costing up to $1 million. The hosts agree with Cuomo's observation that the "uniparty" is strangled by money. They also note the irony of Bernie Sanders attacking billionaires immediately before introducing billionaire J.B. Pritzker.

chris cuomo· newsnation· dnc· corporate greed· luxury suites· billionaires

27:47 You know, he was there. Chris? Yes, I can't figure... you know, sometimes like, yeah, go and then I'm like, what are you doing? And he actually had a pretty good piece he did from the floor. Which was accurate. A big theme here at the DNC is that they're going to go after corporate gouging. And they're going to go after corporations, whether it's in taxes, largess, loopholes. Let me reveal a reality to you that has to be spoken to here, okay? These are the soldiers. These are the men and the women that go back to their constituencies and their communities and they fight. They take time from their jobs, they take time from their families. They need to charge these people up. They need to be able to get them on board. But there is another reality that is literally looking down on them. Greg, look at the ring of sweets, okay? This is not unique to Democrats. There is a game of money. When people talk about uniparty,

28:43 We are strangled by the money reality in our politics. Those suites start at 500 grand. You think there's like a teacher group up in there? You think it's like the Cub Scouts of Columbia County, South Carolina that's up in those boxes? The media boxes, you think they're free? Why do you think I'm on the floor? News Nation is not a broke company. NextStar is a massive organization. We are corporate media. We don't have one of those boxes, because that's the game. You pay to play. Those boxes are filled with the same people that they say they're going to regulate. They are literally looking down on the faithful and being told, yeah, yeah, we're gonna break down on them. We're gonna make them pay their share. They paid 500, 700, a million, a million and a half to have those seats. They get hotel suites that are probably gifted to the party. And they're gonna take them down? They're gonna change how it is? They are looking down from on high at the people who make the difference in their communities. And that is the reality of politics.

29:44 Well, NewsNation isn't broke yet, but... Yeah, I agree. It's weird. He's something schizo about that guy. You said weird. Thank you. You're welcome. So far as what he said, one of the ironies of the show was listening to Bernie Sanders go on and on and on and on about how terrible billionaires are and they should all die, and then he introduces Pritzker, a billionaire. Or Michelle Obama saying... Who, by the way, Pritzker comes out and brags about being a billionaire.

DNC Musical Performances, Black Caucus Acting Normal

The hosts discuss the musical acts at the DNC, noting that James Taylor was bumped from the schedule due to time overruns. They play a clip of a Black Caucus member telling supporters they have "70 days to act right" before going back to "acting crazy." Curry observes that the DNC is attempting to manufacture the same "feeling of hope" associated with the 2008 Obama campaign.

john legend· james taylor· black caucus· dnc· hope· obama

30:20 Or Michelle Obama saying, you know, my mom was suspicious of rich people. She worked at the same bank Tina worked at in the, like, what, I forget what division it was. But, you know, she literally worked side by side with rich people. Where's this disdain and this distrust? She worked in the trust department, that's it. She worked in the trust department of the bank where my wife worked in Chicago. You know, it's lying. It's just lies. And I'm just so sad that all these people, like, NPCs, like, oh, yeah, it's a good show, it's a great show, John Legend, he's the best, and poor James Taylor didn't even get to play. But I was waiting for that. I'm like, I'll watch James Taylor, you know, you got a friend. I always liked me some James Taylor.

31:14 They booted him because after Joe, everyone went home. You Got a Friend would be a perfect song, especially compared to Let's Go Crazy. Yeah, well it was the first time. I mean, the Let's Go Crazy thing, there's a, I have a clip, a DNC clip. This is the Black Caucus, this is a very short clip, this is the only one that's been floating around. This is the Black Caucus discussing how they're going to act during the next 70, 80 days during the election. We got 70 days to act right, y'all. That's right. After 70 days we can go back to acting crazy. Right? So we've got 70 days to act normal and then we can go back to being crazy. And so then you had John Legend singing the song, Let's Go Crazy. It's just like the whole, it's so much hypocrisy to watch this. It makes you sick. They brought out an orthodox

32:07 priest and some pastor at the end of the night for the consecration? I missed that. Well, yeah, everyone did. They didn't show it. It was at the end of the night. Like, what is that? That's odd. So the whole thing was, I mean, it's honestly the show itself. I mean, I can see it from what we used to call an Obama bot perspective, I can see people, this is what my hair girl said, they all want to recreate the feeling of hope that they had during Obama. And that's what they're doing with

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

Van Jones Obama Commentary, Kamala Harris 100x Claim

Adam Curry critiques Van Jones's CNN commentary, where Jones claimed Kamala Harris could replicate Barack Obama's impact "times a hundred." The hosts argue that Harris lacks Obama's oratorical skills and that the media is using soundbites and video editing to manufacture a specific "vibe" for her candidacy.

van jones· barack obama· kamala harris· cnn· jeff bezos· editing

32:48 That I mean, I think they used hope a lot. Well, let's I got a couple more clips that kind of back you up here These are the Van Jones two-parter this is a van You know what? I love that guy. He's I really did He got a hundred million dollars. Let's remember he got a hundred million dollars from Jeff Bezos for his nonprofit whatever it is and So he can just show up and he can do whatever he wants. He's got the net jets card. He's still Van Jones. So I have Van Jones on Obama's CNN. I mean, I remember 20 years ago, I was living in Oakland in a little condo. I had a little baby and a cat and I didn't have a TV. I listened on the radio and this voice that sounded completely different than anything we'd ever heard before, Barack Obama.

33:43 Talk recasting his own story as an American story. Wait, what? What? American story. Recasting his story as an American, what his Kenya story, his upbringing in Africa or whatever. The fact that he was in Indonesia and he was a Muslim. I mean, whatever. Or whatever. He's recasting his story as an American. OK, well, it's great. We'll listen to that and then he goes on with part two here and with the with the most outrageous thing I've ever heard recasting his own story as an American story and it just opened up a sense for me personally that I had a place in the country that I could be something and I

34:28 Everybody that day felt the same way and Kamala Harris can do that times a hundred because of who she is, because of what it means for a woman to do this and I think it's going to be exciting tonight. They are doing a very good job with editing videos with sound and sound bites of putting Kamala Harris, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala In that same vibe, they're doing a very good job. She can't do it the way Barack Obama does it. She can't do anything, let alone 100x Obama. He's masterful at it.

35:05 And, you know, she does not have it, but they want that. And, you know, when you want something that bad, and I really understand why people want that, they want a mommy or a daddy who's going to fix it for them. And the same with Republicans. Oh, if only Trump wins, then we're safe. No, no, no daddy or mommy in the White House is going to, it'll make you feel better. You're not gonna fix everything. You gotta do that in your own community. I won't even go down that road. And, and, so speaking of such, this was the weirdest thing. Oh! I did it! You gotta call me out. I missed it.

Donald Trump CNN Interview, Theo Von Podcast

Donald Trump's recent comments to CNN's Kristen Holmes are discussed, where he expressed respect for Barack and Michelle Obama, a departure from his usual rhetoric. Curry also reviews Trump's appearance on Theo Von's podcast, describing it as a successful, conversational interview that showed a different side of the former president.

donald trump· barack obama· theo von· cnn· kristen holmes· podcasts

35:49 Listen to what Trump said being interviewed by CNN about Michelle and Barack. We're also keeping an eye on new comments from Donald Trump who is out on the campaign trail today. That is where we find CNN's Kristen Holmes at this hour. Kristen, you spoke to Donald Trump directly earlier. What did he tell you? Well, I asked him about the DNC and particularly former President Barack Obama's speech tonight. I cited the fact that in 2020, Obama said that Trump never grew into the role as president. And then I asked him for essentially a pre-bottle of the speech. This is what he said, almost a complete turnaround of what we've heard him say about former President Obama before.

36:27 I like him, I think he's a nice gentleman, but he was very, very weak on trade. If you take a look at what happened to our country trade-wise, it was a disaster. Take a look at Japan, take a look at China, take a look at what happened with some of these countries, what they did. But I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife. Kaitlan, I respect him and I respect him, I expect to respect his wife. Obviously very different from what we've heard from Donald Trump, particularly during his tenure in office. when he repeatedly blamed Obama for a lot of shortcomings in his own office, tried to undermine his legacy, and before that was the biggest promoter of birtherism, essentially saying that Obama wasn't eligible to be... You know, and I hear that clip, and I'm a little suspicious that he might have been talking about someone else and someone else's wife. I cannot believe that he said that.

37:20 Well, that's a good point. I mean, it's a little bit off-brand. A little bit. And I'm noticing that a couple of things. One is the Republicans in particular, the Republicans have gone off the deep end, off the rails about Trump and how he should be softer and he's better when he's just not being It's so mean, he's all mean, mean tweets, it goes back to that. And then now that the, and he does that, he does say some kind of- He does, he does. Some things that are just mild. He's done, he's doing podcasts, everything he can do. And as he does more and more of this being normalized,

38:01 They bitch about it. I was watching Godfrey, oh he's not as funny as he used to be. I don't understand why he's so mad, you know, he could give it to him, you know, and he won't. And so it's like they want it one way and then when he gives it to them that way, then they bitch. I mean the Republicans are screwed up. I watched, or I listened, I should say, on my ride into Austin, him on Theo Vaughn's show. I like Theo Vaughn. I like his style. I like how he's just kind of redneckish. like Donald, Donald. It's a good show. I mean Donald, let me ask you this. And I thought it was very good. He was, Trump, he, Trump, was interested, engaging. He didn't, I mean it was a different type of interview. It was conversational. It was conversational, yeah. And that was an interesting side to see. I still want to hear him say that Kamala laughs like a crazy woman.

38:57 I mean, for the show, if only for the show. He has said that. Yes, we played the clip on the last show. Of course he has said that. But yeah, you're right. It's... but that's because it's the same thing on the Republican side. You know, you cannot say enough, she's a communist, a socialist, just going nuts. She's a nothing. She's like a pimple. She's no good. Everybody knows that she was the worst four months, four weeks ago. Everyone knows it. Let me just say this, the gas lighting is also working on people who support Trump. They are going insane about, I mean, to me this whole thing was kind of boring. These conventions are boring.

39:48 But, you know, when you see a whole bunch of people like yelling and they're all psyched up for their candidate. It was the same at the RNC. It's the same thing. But so many people on the right. Be honest. Tina is not a big Trump fan. She despises how we communicate. Since she's a professional communicator, she's been in communications her whole life. But just having the DNC on, the show was in my living room. She's like, I can't believe this projection. And I'm like, wow, it's working. It's working. They are PSYOPing both sides and both sides do it. That's what you do. And it's well done then, doing it.

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

AOC DNC Flip-Flop, Biden Poison Pill Theory

The hosts contrast Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's July warnings about removing Joe Biden with her enthusiastic DNC speech supporting Kamala Harris. Curry reiterates his theory that Biden performed a "poison pill" maneuver by endorsing Harris immediately after being forced out, thereby thwarting the Obamas' plans for an open primary.

alexandria ocasio-cortez· joe biden· kamala harris· dnc· obamas· poison pill

40:36 Well, it fades. Let's listen to it. Oh, of course it fades. Of course. To back you up a little bit here, I want to play two clips from AOC. Your future president, ladies and gentlemen. Now one of them, by the way, is labeled SNC-AOC 2. That should be DNC AOC. So that's that'll be the second clip. I got you. I got you. So the first clip is AOC, DNC AOC. Now this is from July of this year, July 19th. While Biden was still president, this is what she said on her either TikTok or Insta. If you think that there is consensus

41:16 among the people who want Joe Biden to leave, that they will support Kamala, Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken. A lot of them are not just interested in removing the president. They are interested in removing the whole ticket. I need to remind everybody, she auditioned for a job in New York. They said, hey, you're kind of cute, come audition. And she was completely constructed. She thought she was getting an acting gig.

41:59 I mean, this is fact. She did. And she doesn't need a mask for at least 20, 30 years. So she's very, very useful. So so the point is there, which is what we have discussed on this show, which is the possibility exists that the idea was to get rid of Biden and Harris, which is what she said. That's right. And the bombers were going to control the situation and bring in some new people or do another primary, do something. And then Biden did the poison pill thing and right after he was kicked out realized that his best bet was to give it to Kamala right away before they could do anything which caused a feud between Harris and the Obamas. Which is why she wasn't there.

42:43 the whole thing's falling apart because after listening to AOC going on and on like this, here's a snippet from her at the convention about how great Kamala is. In Kamala Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she is from the middle class. She understands She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and prescriptions. She is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed. It's the greatest show on earth. 20 billion is what?

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

Michelle Obama IVF Claim, Handmaid's Tale Comparison

Adam Curry reacts to Michelle Obama's DNC claim that she used IVF to become a mother, questioning why this information is only surfacing now. The hosts discuss the frequent comparisons between Project 2025 and Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," with Dvorak reading the book's plot to demonstrate the lack of actual parallels.

michelle obama· ivf· margaret atwood· handmaid's tale· project 2025· gilead

43:26 I don't know about the greatest show on earth. It's better than that stupid circus. Where's the elephants? It's better than the Ringling Brothers. No, it is. It's the greatest show on earth. $20 billion goes into the elections and we just, we literally sitting there like psyop little monkeys going, ehh, ehh, ehh, seals, ehh, ehh. And we yell about it on Twitter. It's crazy because this is all going to be forgotten in one week from now. We won't remember this. No, but it's fun while it lasts. It is. I'm going to play the Michelle Obama racifying stuff. Kamala Harris truly understands the unseen labor and unwavering commitment that has always made America great. Now, unfortunately,

44:19 We know what comes next. We know folks are going to do everything they can to distort her truth. My husband and I sadly know a little something about this. Why wouldn't she say Barack and I? I just thought that to be odd. For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be black. Shame on you, Michelle Obama. Shame on you. You know it's not true. Just, that's shameful. That is, that to me is un-American, by just standing on stage and calling someone a racist. That's bull.

45:17 And shame on these NPCs. I want to know, I want to know, who's gonna tell him, who's gonna tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs? Well written, well done for a racist. It's not, it's ridiculous. I have, well I have a Michelle clip because She, they were, he was president from 2008 to what, 12? 16. 16. And all these, all that time and ever since and now we hear this. This is what happened?

46:07 Wait a minute, what happened? TNC, Michelle. Taking away our freedom to control our bodies, the freedom to become a mother through IVF like I did, those things are not going to improve the health outcomes of our wives, mothers and daughters. I knew it was Scottie Pippen's kid. I've always said that. She went through IVF? When did this become news and how come the American public just found out about it? I never heard this. I never heard it either and this is how many years that she's been in the public eye and now all of a sudden she's an IVF mom? Which by the way was one governor in Alabama who made some issue who didn't even say it was against IVF but that

46:58 Embryo should be protected, but they've turned this all around. This is project 2025 nonsense. Stupid. Please, go get the PDF of project 2025 and read it every night before you go to bed. I guarantee you won't get past the introduction. It's so boring and so in... the word is innocuous. It's nothing. But that's what... because no one's gonna read it and you can just say a handmaid's tale and you're good to go. Yeah, handmaid's tale. Handmaid's tale is very different. No, no, it's the same thing. You don't get it. What is the...

47:36 The plot of the Handmaid's Tale, just so we can set this straight. Is that Project 2025? Yeah, but I'm asking you. Trump comes in and he makes every woman a slave and they become breeders and it's terrible. Let me see what the Book of Knowledge says. Handmaid's Tale, let me see what the plot is. Futuristic dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood, published in 85. Set in near future New England, patriarchal totalitarian theonomic state known as the Republic of Gilead, overthrown by the United States government.

Chicago DNC Protests, Maggots at Fairmont Hotel

Reports of protests in Chicago show activists breaching the DNC perimeter to condemn the administration's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict. A bizarre incident at the Fairmont Hotel is detailed, where female offenders allegedly placed maggots on breakfast tables used by DNC delegates. Curry suggests the use of "maggots" might be a subversive pun on "MAGA."

48:13 Offered is the central character and narrator one of the handmaid's women who are forcibly assigned to produce children for the commanders who are the ruling class. How does that fit with IVF and no abortion? I mean the whole thing is it's it's crazy. Now there was something that happened I got the report this morning and You know, because we haven't really seen a lot of, well I have a protest clip, we can listen to that, but we have not seen anything near Chicago 1968. No, in fact I think that it's because of the soy boys. They haven't got enough testosterone to kick down the damn gates. Well let me play that clip first then. Let me play the, I have one protest clip. Here we go. This morning Chicago police bracing for another round of protests. Come on, let's go!

49:05 after dozens breached the outer perimeter of the DNC late Monday. Right now you see protesters having broken through this barrier trying to get into the convention center. They gathered earlier thousands of them to condemn the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict. The through line of the dozens of protests actions planned here this week. The march drove through Chicago north of the convention center where hundreds of officers on bikes formed a rolling barricade, hemming them in. Then as they filled this park, tensions rising. Some of them have wanted to turn right towards here and you may be able to see that barricade of police that's towards the convention center. And this appears to have set off some sort of fight. That park right up against the DNC's steel cage perimeter and they're a smaller group of protesters disassembling parts of it, pouring into the breach and taunting police on the other side. Riot police are moving in, they're about to push back. These protesters who burst through this fence a few moments ago, they've got batons,

50:03 Riot police moving in from two sides, squeezing the protesters out of the buffer zone. After an hour, clearing the park. Once they breached the fence, we knew that that was problematic. We had to put an end to it. So, I watched the peaceful protests, people marching, for about an hour each day, because there's several live streams you can watch. All professionally printed signs. Let me restate that. I'd say 95% professionally printed signs, all from either the Socialist Workers Party or the Socialist Party. It's like a splinter group of the Socialist Workers Party. They split off, I guess.

50:48 five or ten years ago. So it's all socialist organized protests. Then you have this one guy who's like the Gaza guy and he talks to the press. He's always out of breath. He's a little overweight and you know it's just Omar is his name. So there's really not much there. But I thought this this thing that happened was very subversive. They're attributing it to pro-Palestine protesters. But I thought there was an underlying subversive message. According to the DNC Joint Information Center, the maggots were placed onto tables with food inside of the Fairmont Hotel around 6.45 this morning. Not long after, the bugs were reported. Our camera captured an FBI evidence response truck along with state and local police outside the hotel. Investigators say multiple female offenders are suspected of entering the hotel and placing unknown objects on tables with food.

51:46 Police believe the women who have not been caught left the area. It's unclear if hotel staff became aware of the insect incident before delegates ate the food. A professor of history at DePaul University says the most concerning thing to him about the maggot incident is not the bugs, but the security breach. So, maggots. And when I hear maggots, I hear MAGA. I think that's subversive. Maybe. I didn't think that, but it's possible. By the way, if you just troll around on Twitter, and I see you a lot, man. You're posting a lot of trans Maoist videos. You're really into that. If you troll around, you'll see... I repost very entertaining videos. People should pay attention. Oh, they're entertaining. They're entertaining. Yes.

Nancy Pelosi "Impusted" Speech, Biden's Final DNC Appearance

The hosts mock Nancy Pelosi's DNC speech, specifically her use of the non-existent word "impusted." They also play a clip of Joe Biden struggling to read his teleprompter regarding women's "electoral power." Curry praises the DNC's highly coordinated signage changes, which transitioned from "Thank You Joe" to "We Love Joe" on cue.

nancy pelosi· joe biden· dnc· january 6· electoral power· signage

52:36 You'll see, uh, the Democrats, you need, they put a wall up around themselves. You need an ID to get in there. You don't need an ID to vote. Don't want to water on the country. I've heard that a million times. Yes. So it's all, it's all meant to jack you up, man, man. Jack you up. I have a couple of clips I want to play before we get too far away. These are shorties. This is Pelosi's speech and I want you to tell me what were... She was bad. She was no good. No, she's chewing her cud. She's eating on something. The mask and I think part of the mask got into her mouth. I think that's why she used the word. Tell me that's not the word she uses.

53:22 And I think it's a good show title. She creates a new word called impusted. But let us not forget who saved democracy that day. We did. And we demonstrated to America and to the world that American democracy prevailed. The parable of January 6th Reminds us that our democracy is only as strong as the courage and commitment of those entrusted with its care. Imposted. She said, those impusted with its care.

53:58 Did you notice that, because I'm looking at crowd response, I don't think January 6th got the type of responses they wanted. Of course not, it's stupid. Yeah, it's just not top of mind. People don't really see it as the worst moment in our history since Pearl Harbor or whatever we were supposed to believe. Well, it's passed over. It's not working. I mean, Bob Biden was also, when he gave his speech, I have one Biden clip. Yes. Which is the one that's been going around. If you haven't heard it, you're going to hear it now. Yeah, of course. And this is... Oh, sorry. Biden was doing quite well most of the speech, this phony Biden. Until this moment. Until this moment. He wrote the following, quote, women are not without electrical, not allowed, he says, not without electoral, electoral.

54:47 or political power. I love how everyone's like, yeah Joe you did it, you got through a sentence, good! Thank you Joe. The signage coordination, 10 points. 10 points for the story. Yeah, absolutely 10 points man. They went from Thank you, Joe to we love no we love Joe and then it was thank you Joe and everyone turned and then they went Kept changing. I wish someone would collect some of the signs. I would love to get one of these walls heads Yeah, I think those are pretty cool. I have two more. I have one more well a couple more but

55:24 By the way, by the way, just as a parallel. So Walls Kid, and I'm not sure what's wrong with Walls Kid, but you know, that was wrong. That is great shot of Walls Kid freaking out, being all happy in that awkward kid happy way. This is exactly the parallel to Veep, where Selena Meyers, Tom James or whatever his name was, who was her VP, also had a kid with issues. It's insane to watch this in parallel to what's happening. I didn't know that. Yes. Let's play this DNC PBMA clip. Will we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism or

Josh Shapiro Obama Cadence, Tim Walz Tax Cut Claims

Adam Curry plays a clip of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, noting his vocal cadence is nearly identical to Barack Obama's.

55:24 By the way, by the way, just as a parallel. So Walls Kid, and I'm not sure what's wrong with Walls Kid, but you know, that was wrong. That is great shot of Walls Kid freaking out, being all happy in that awkward kid happy way. This is exactly the parallel to Veep, where Selena Meyers, Tom James or whatever his name was, who was her VP, also had a kid with issues. It's insane to watch this in parallel to what's happening. I didn't know that. Yes. Let's play this DNC PBMA clip. Will we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism or

56:13 Will we choose a path of decency, honor, and continued progress? Huh? Now tell me that's not Obama. Totally, but it wasn't I guess. No, that was Shapiro. Who I have said before and other people have noticed is he is the Jewish Obama. He talks with the same cadence and sounds like Obama. Indeed. Yeah, it's just like I just took that small clip and it's all it takes I mean you can listen to this whole speech and it's just Obama and in fact It's so Obama that is kind of annoying. I think it's gonna hurt him to be honest about it Then I have a 19-second mini super clip about how great this convention was short

57:03 Oh, I'm sorry. Here we go. The people in this room had a great time last night. Exuberance, joy. I have not seen so many Democrats laugh, smile, sing. This was a legitimate moment of catharsis and love. All of us saying, we can really do this. We're coming out of this darkness that Donald Trump has put us in. Neurodivergent is the term I was looking for for Waltz's kid. Neurodivergent. That's the politically correct way of saying it. I got one more to play. I'm gonna play one because Tim Waltz asked me to do this. He was very clear, he gave me instruction and I'm following orders. So here, this is the part, clip and save it and send it to your undecided relatives so they know.

57:56 If you're a middle class family or a family trying to get into the middle class, Kamala Harris is going to cut your taxes. If you're getting squeezed by prescription drug prices, Kamala Harris is going to take on Big Pharma. If you're hoping to buy a home, Kamala Harris is going to help make it more affordable. And no matter who you are, Kamala Harris is going to stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to lead. Because that's what we want for ourselves and it's what we want for our neighbors. Alright, I did what you told me Tim. Very uninspiring but I did what you told me.

Jobs Report Revision, Gina Raimondo Denial

The hosts discuss the Bureau of Labor Statistics revising job growth downward by 818,000 jobs. They play a clip of Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo claiming she is "not familiar" with the BLS data and accusing Donald Trump of lying about the numbers. Curry and Dvorak criticize the administration for hiding the true state of the economy behind a "sugar high" of convention rhetoric.

gina raimondo· bureau of labor statistics· jobs report· donald trump· economy· revision

58:43 I'm gonna play a clip. This was off the floor and this was Roe Conn, you know, because the big theme here on this convention is corporate greed. Yes, the one sitting in the boxes up top. Yeah, the ones in the $500,000 seats. Yeah, that's good. Those guys. Actually, before we go to that, I do have two clips from K. Parton Brooks That took place last Friday before the convention. The show just took a horrible turn. Okay. I'll skip those then and we'll go right to... Oh no, let's keep them. We want to keep them. We want to keep them, John. Is it funny? I can listen to Capehart and Brooks if it's funny.

59:25 Well, they're always funny. Capehart is pathetic, by the way. And Brooks, let's play Capehart and then Brooks, and then I'll play the Roe Connick clip. Because this is all about corporate greed and this idea that's, this is nonsense of the highest order. She's talking about eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans, a cap on prescription drug costs, a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers. Give us some of your top takeaways from the speech and her policy rollout. Well, clearly as we know from the polls that the economy is either issued number one, two or three for the American people. So it makes sense that she would use her first policy speech to focus on not just economics and just a piece of economics. Cuz she did say at the top of her remarks that

1:00:14 There are a bunch of other things that she's going to roll out later, but she wanted to focus on this very narrow issue, which are issues that the American people say is top of mind for them. Top of mind? When I listen to that Capehart and others and Kamala and Biden and the rest of them keep talking about this is the greatest economy we've ever had. Number one. Meanwhile they're talking about the economy as though it's an issue? Can I play 37 seconds? Make up your mind. Obfuscated by all of this was the news that came out

1:00:51 I would say more hidden than obfuscated. And you know today we had, listen, the economy had a terrible jobs report today, right? The downward estimate of close to a million jobs that weren't created during the past year in the Biden-Harris administration. Gina Raimondo, when asked about it today, she wasn't familiar with it. She's the Secretary of Commerce, right? Unemployment's at 4.3%, the highest it's been since 2021. 11% credit card defaults, the highest it's been in I think since 2009. So the economy isn't great and people feel that in their pocketbooks at home. And we're going to leave here with this great sugar high and this hope and then people are going to have to pay their bills and so it's going to be tough. So the Bureau of Labor Statistics whose job it is, is to report as accurately as possible the number of jobs created or saved

1:01:44 No, just created, not saved. They've been revising by 50,000, 100,000 for months. Yeah, they do that. It's common though. And now it's 800,000 jobs? 800,000 is a bit much. 18 to be exact. So they're lying. That's not an oopsie. And Gina Raimondo, I don't know if you have that clip. I don't, I didn't get it. I'll tell you what, for people out there, this clip is going around. I can literally grab it for you if you want. Yeah, why don't you grab it? Because she blames Trump for lying about these statistics when she's told this from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. She says, I don't even know who that is. She's an idiot.

1:02:29 The fact that, which is one of the reasons I didn't get the clip, it was so moronic that it was like, I can't take it. I have the same. You know, what's Gina is her name? Gina Raimondo. Raimondo. She is R-A-I, I think, M-O-N-O. Yeah, I was, oh, here it is. Yeah, I knew it, because I was being killed with it on Twitter. Here we go. Oh, this is the 57 second version. Oh, that's even better. I've only seen a 15 second. Let's see. Donald Trump is already addressing this on the campaign trail. Let's take a listen to that one together. The administration padded the numbers with an extra, listen to this one, 818,000 jobs that don't exist. So they said they existed and they never did exist. They built them up so that they could say what a wonderful job they're doing.

1:03:18 So when you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign? No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful. It is though from the Bureau of Labor. I don't, I'm not familiar with that. If there's one thing I despise, it's people posting clips with music. We don't listen. Well, no, that was the background music. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, because I've seen the clip without them but background music. Okay, they just do that Oh, I'm a producer now shut up. Stop it. No, I'm just saying I can't I agree a thought that a thousand percent a hundred percent say that I realize that's no good either No, you can't but I do agree that people keep throwing these music like this They're being creative and it's like ruins the clip. Yes for the show. I

1:04:13 For us. For us. Let's skip and go to Brooks, who now has a commentary about gouging. And David on this matter of economic policy the vice president is also proposing the first ever ban on price gouging for groceries This is something I know you took particular issue with it pulls well with swing voters But economists say the underlying reasons why prices are higher. It's it's a more complicated argument Yeah, I mean she has some good policies in this package I think the the child tax credit is a good thing that she wants to deregulate housing so we can get more homes and But the price gouging is just- What? Well, Catherine Rampell, a Washington Post columnist and NewsHour contributor, said it's impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is. And I agree with that. And Catherine had a good line that if your opponent is calling you a communist, maybe don't lead with price controls. And so price controls just create shortages that create black markets. We've seen it happen in Venezuela. We've seen it happen in the Soviet Union. Price controls just don't work.

CHAPTER 18 / 47 Discussion

David Brooks on Price Gouging, Economic Illiteracy

David Brooks and Catherine Rampell's criticisms of Kamala Harris's proposed ban on grocery price gouging are featured. Brooks argues that price controls lead to shortages and black markets, citing Venezuela and the Soviet Union. He describes the "greedflation" narrative as a sign of economic illiteracy, noting that inflation has already significantly cooled.

No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful. It is though from the Bureau of Labor. I don't, I'm not familiar with that.

We've seen it happen in Venezuela. We've seen it happen in the Soviet Union. Price controls just don't work.

1:05:11 work. What's worse about that, first, it's trying to address a problem that does not exist. Grocery prices, inflation has been less than 1% for the past year. It's over. We had a surge, but it's over. The problem does not exist. But the real core problem is it expresses a level of economic illiteracy, which is kind of surprising in a responsible Democratic candidate. You know, the idea behind greedflation is that we had all these years of low inflation under Obama and under Bush's and I guess people weren't greedy then. And then Biden gets in and suddenly magically they all get greedy and start price gouging. Oh man, this... You know what? Okay. So I was in Democrat-run Austin yesterday, which is still dirty. It's just dirty. It's filled with

Texas TDLR Inspection, Hair Salon Licensing Overreach

Adam Curry recounts a personal experience at an Austin hair salon where a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) inspector conducted a surprise audit. He describes the inspector's focus on minor labeling issues and sexual harassment posters as an example of the "administrative state gone nuts" and "un-American" overreach.

1:06:03 Big box store South Congress is ruined. There's no more cute little snow. It's ruined. It's yeah, Lulu lemon Okay, great. So I'm in the hair salon and you know my girl she rents a chair there says there's three Three women three clients. I'm the only dude I admit it. There you go. And it's a second floor walk-up And so I'm sitting in the chair and my girl's putting in my highlights. And all of a sudden there's this lady, she's standing right there with a red shirt on, black pants, and she says something to my girl and I see her freeze up. I'm like, what are you, a fed? I kind of jokingly say that. And the lady says, no, I'm state. TDLR. What? Texas Department of License and Registration.

1:06:59 And so, and this of course is not just an Austin thing, but so this is your overreach. So all these girls have to have licenses to cut hair. They have to show their license. Then this lady walks around the place, one room, walks around like, your Barbasol is not labeled. What is going on in America? What happened to just putting out a candy cane in front and cutting hair? It was disturbing and you could see everyone was all, oh it's like the Stasi is here. Wow! Yeah! And this has been going on for decades. This is not new. It's like, no, it's the administrative state gone nuts. And how come you don't have the sexual harassment poster on the wall? What? It was disturbing. It's un-American.

Ro Khanna on Corporate Greed, Silicon Valley Dividends

Representative Ro Khanna's comments on corporate greed and stock buybacks are critiqued. Khanna argued that corporate tax cuts lead to dividends rather than community investment. Dvorak points out the irony of Khanna representing Silicon Valley, one of the wealthiest regions in the world, while claiming corporations have "hollowed out" communities.

ro khanna· silicon valley· corporate greed· dividends· intel· stock buybacks

1:07:54 Telling you right now, under a Kerry administration, there'll be no licenses for hairdressers. I was like, if you shut this down, my hair's gonna burn. I got my highlights in, I can't go out on the street with tin foil. You're digging a deeper hole. I know. So we hear all this bullcrap and I want to play Ro Khanna. Now Ro Khanna is the Democrat congressman for Silicon Valley. And I want to play this because he's expressing the He's representing Silicon Valley and its myriad of corporate, large, massive corporations, tech companies. And this is his thinking. Representative Ro Khanna, who during the event called out corporate greed. What happens when you give a corporate tax cut? Intel gets the money. Now what do they do? They go buy their stock.

1:08:53 Or they give a dividend. That's what we've been doing for 50 years. That's why Walt's piled up in Silicon Valley, where I represent, in New York. But it has hollowed out, community after community. They get some tax cuts, they get a deal, and so then they give out dividends, which is what you're supposed to do if you're a stockholder. You want dividends. So somehow giving out dividends is bad. And then what communities have these corporations hollowed out? What is he talking about? You're telling me that Palo Alto and Menlo Park and the places where these guys are are hollowed out? What are you, nuts?

CHAPTER 21 / 47 Discussion

Stephanie Grisham DNC Appearance, Romney Connection

Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham's appearance at the DNC is discussed. Grisham cited January 6 as her reason for leaving the administration. Dvorak notes that Grisham originally came from Mitt Romney's political circle, characterizing her as a "classic Trump hire" error involving a "Romneyite."

stephanie grisham· melania trump· dnc· mitt romney· january 6· press secretary

1:09:38 How do these which brings me to the big question? Why are these morons in Palo Alto and Menlo Park reelecting this guy? Are they yeah over and over? Mmm cuz you've ridden Democrats that run these companies because they pay because they pay him because they got big money deep pockets Hello, welcome to the show Welcome to the show. All right. Meanwhile, I Are we done with the DNC? Because I'm kind of done with the DNC. I don't have anything really that good. Well, I do want to play one last thing then. SNC, this is Stephanie Grisham and I just have a comment to make. Alright, we are here with Stephanie Grisham. You will remember she is Donald Trump's former press secretary. She is now here speaking at

1:10:33 the DNC because she has been very clear. She has completely changed her mind on who should be the President of the United States and who should not. I just want to ask you, what was this moment like when you decided I cannot do this anymore. I cannot be a part of this administration anymore. And you ended up here speaking at the DNC. I know. You know, I had tried to resign actually a few times prior to January 6th, but Melania had talked me out of it. We were really, really close. January 6th, of course, like I said in my speech, was the day that I just couldn't be there anymore. I knew that he knew what he was doing. I was so disappointed that Melania wouldn't do at least something to try to quell the violence. And I haven't looked back since. Now, yeah, to be here is not something I ever thought in my career or life I would ever be, but I'm proud of it. I stand by it. And it's been great. Everybody's been wonderful. She's a Republican. She was in

1:11:30 Trump's press office for nine months. I looked her up on C-SPAN. There was no press. She never did anything. She got bumped over to become chief of staff for Melania and then she wants to quit all the time. And here's the deal. Here's the deal. She came from Romney's group. Oh, well there you go. This is a classic Trump hire. Yeah. Oh, there's Romney, you know, I'm trying to be magnanimous and let me give this girl a job. She's just another Romneyite. Trump has got to stop doing this.

Don Lemon Man on the Street, RFK Jr. Exit Rumors

The hosts discuss Don Lemon's "man on the street" interviews, which surprisingly show significant support for Trump. They also cover breaking news regarding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s plan to end his presidential bid and potentially endorse Donald Trump. Nicole Shanahan's podcast comments about joining forces with Trump to prevent a Harris-Walz presidency are highlighted.

don lemon· rfk jr· nicole shanahan· donald trump· endorsement· cnn

1:12:09 I want to give props to Don Lemon, I don't have any clips, but he is diligently traveling around America sticking his mic in people's faces. Now these are men on the street so you can edit however you want, but I would say 80% of the people he's interviewing of all colors of the spectrum are all saying Trump. Yes, and this is some people are seeing this as a setup. He's trying to get work, he's He's getting attention by doing this because he's getting all Trump Trump Trump and we know he hates Trump. And it's either that he's trying to just get attention because he's getting a lot of attention. You gave him attention right there. I didn't clip him though. No. No. Good.

1:12:53 And he is either trying to get back into one of the other jobs or even get a job at Fox. Well, he had that job with Elon and then he screwed it up by trying to be a journalist. Oh, he screwed that up big time. Don't be a journalist. Just do your job. Crazy. And he never was a journalist before. Why now? So big announcement coming tomorrow. Breaking news in the presidential race, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to end his bid for the White House. NBC News and CNN reporting he'll endorse Donald Trump for president. Kennedy is expected to address the nation in a speech on Friday. He was a long shot but could have pulled on the fence voters away from the mainstream candidates.

1:13:37 And here is Nicole Shanahan, his ill-chosen vice presidential pick on a podcast. There's two options that we're looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency. Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump. Do you think he's gonna do that? Well, here's what I've been hearing.

CHAPTER 23 / 47 Discussion

RFK Jr. Cabinet Negotiations, Leaked Trump Call

Rumors regarding RFK Jr. seeking a cabinet position (HHS or FDA) in exchange for an endorsement are explored. The hosts revisit the "leaked" phone call between Trump and Kennedy regarding vaccine safety, which they previously identified as a staged setup. Dvorak suggests Kennedy's exit is driven by internal polling showing he takes more votes from Trump than Harris.

1:12:53 And he is either trying to get back into one of the other jobs or even get a job at Fox. Well, he had that job with Elon and then he screwed it up by trying to be a journalist. Oh, he screwed that up big time. Don't be a journalist. Just do your job. Crazy. And he never was a journalist before. Why now? So big announcement coming tomorrow. Breaking news in the presidential race, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to end his bid for the White House. NBC News and CNN reporting he'll endorse Donald Trump for president. Kennedy is expected to address the nation in a speech on Friday. He was a long shot but could have pulled on the fence voters away from the mainstream candidates.

1:13:37 And here is Nicole Shanahan, his ill-chosen vice presidential pick on a podcast. There's two options that we're looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency. Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump. Do you think he's gonna do that? Well, here's what I've been hearing.

1:14:14 And this has been going on for over a couple of weeks. They were, they sent feelers out to like, and they started supposedly by contacting the Harris campaign saying, look, we'll join forces with you, we're Democrats. Which, which, by the way, is completely not, it's not even what was reported. It was reported that he called both, both parties, but he, there was, there's no evidence of him ever saying other than sources familiar with the matter. that he wanted to join the campaign. I'm just putting that there because I had arguments with people about that. I do think that something's going to happen tomorrow, but supposedly he went to them first. I don't know why that would come out of the blue and the thing was a quid pro quo. I endorse you, but I have to have a cabinet spot because he's looking to be

1:15:05 to get in HHS or something. He wants to get... Attorney General, it's a great spot for his family. Well, then he'd get shot. Hello, ruin the joke. I think he's... I think... Yeah, it was okay. So I think he would love to be in HHS or something where he has a... You know, because his real, you know, his legal stuff is all... Yes, so in the FDA and EPA, sure. That kind of thing. And they said, we don't think so. And then he offered the same opportunity to Trump. And he said, I don't think so. And that's the way the story goes. And now, I guess, there's, you know, Trump, they did some numbers, again, the story. They ran some numbers and it showed that Kennedy was going to take more votes away from Trump. I believe that. Than Harris. And remember the so-called leaked call?

1:16:03 Which there's no such thing. Oh, oh yeah, RFK Jr's son posted the video, he shouldn't have done that, where Trump calls and says, hey man, these vaccines, too many vaccines, you know, it's too much for these kids. Come on, that to me was the setup, and we identified it as such. We constantly do because he's phony baloney calls. And it's funny how some of these calls, not that one necessarily, but there's a lot of these calls turn out to be a three camera shoot somehow. It's amazing. It's like these reality TV shows where the guys in bed and then as he picks up the phone, wait a minute, why is there a camera in bed with this guy? So, uh, and then, and a crew and a guy holding a mic up, I mean, come on. And then this clip from France 24 who clearly they're French.

CHAPTER 24 / 47 Discussion

Elon Musk and Trump Alliance, Department of Government Efficiency

The hosts mock a France 24 report that failed to understand Elon Musk's "DOGE" (Department of Government Efficiency) joke. They debate Trump's shifting stance on electric vehicles following Musk's endorsement. Dvorak and Curry have a heated exchange over whether Trump's pro-EV comments were a joke or a serious policy shift reported by The Guardian.

elon musk· donald trump· doge· france 24· electric vehicles· department of government efficiency

1:16:54 They don't have humor, they didn't get the joke, and also they build a whole story around it that Elon Musk is going to join the Trump administration. And there's a little kicker in the end I want you to pay attention to. Two billionaires who did not always get along. Donald Trump and Elon Musk now appear to be the best of friends. Just two years ago they were lobbing insults at each other but the pair has forged an alliance. Trump was banned from Twitter for inciting violence but Musk recently reinstated him with much fanfare and a two-hour broadcast on the social media platform.

1:17:31 Musk is considered the world's richest man as head of both SpaceX and the electric car maker Tesla. During an interview with France Télévision, he implied that he wielded more power than the US president. The US presidency is like being captain of a very large ship with a small rudder. By the way, that's an insane laugh. That guy's not right in the head with that life. We gonna laugh about Kamala, we gotta laugh about that. Like being captain of a very large ship with a small rudder. So you're telling me you're more powerful than the US president? I mean I can't declare war on people.

1:18:14 Until 2020, Musk said that he overwhelmingly voted for Democrats. But now he envisions himself as part of a new Trump administration, posting this AI-generated image of himself as the head of a department of efficiency, adding that he was willing to serve, something Trump has welcomed. So, does France 24 not get the Doge joke? It was the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, the DOGE coin. Yes. And the DOGE dog and yes, they didn't get the joke. I got the joke the minute I saw it. Yeah, of course. Now at the end here, this is something that you and I argued about and you called me out for being, oh, you read it in The Guardian, did you? But I have proof now. Something Trump has welcomed. I'd love it if it were foam. Well, you, you're the greatest cutter

1:19:01 It's an alliance that is ideological and strategic. Musk is said to be donating $45 million a month to Trump's campaign. As a result, Trump has reversed his position on electric vehicles. And I'm for electric cars. I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. Again, a joke. I told you he said that. There are plenty of... I had a clip a couple shows ago I was gonna bring out, which I'll go dig it up for the next show if I have to, where Trump goes back and says electric vehicles have their place but I still think gas... he prefers gas cars and he goes on and on and on. This bullcrap that the Guardian said is nonsense. Of course, but he did say it. You said he didn't say it and I said he did say it. Of course it's a joke. Hello? Of course.

1:19:53 No, you were taking it seriously. Oh, please! And you took it from the Guardian when I asked you where it came from, you said, and you reluctantly admitted it, you picked it up from the Guardian a bunch of years ago. And I said that I heard the clip and proved me right. There it is, and there's the clip. This is the clip. No, I want the clip of you showing, you weren't knowing it was a gag. Oh, please. Okay, you insult my intelligence, as usual. What do you mean as usual? Always, always, always. That's a chicken shit thing to say. No, because I'm... you... okay. On the next show I'll bring the clip and you will hear that I knew it was a joke. But that he said it. I said he said it. No, I... no, he... yeah, I heard him say it too. No, you said... You said he didn't say it. Ah, I don't care. Let's do something much more important. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Precisely. Your colors have been seen. No. So...

Mike Lynch Yacht Sinking, Ian Carroll Conspiracy Theories

The sinking of Mike Lynch's superyacht off the coast of Sicily is discussed. Adam Curry criticizes conspiracy theorist Ian Carroll for linking the event to the CIA and Lynch's recent fraud acquittal. Curry argues the sinking was a tragic accident caused by a waterspout and an open hatch, rather than a deep-state assassination.

mike lynch· sicily· yacht· ian carroll· autonomy· hp· morgan stanley

1:20:53 Here is, this is the story that I just need to talk about. Dive teams have now recovered the bodies of five of the six missing people after a luxury super yacht sank in Italy. The 180-foot yacht was hit by a possible water spout during severe weather early on Monday morning. It sank within minutes. 15 of the 22 people on board were able to get to safety. One body was found in the immediate aftermath. Crews have been working since Monday to locate the others. Two Americans are among the missing, although authorities have not yet identified the bodies recovered today. Okay, so this is the super yacht that capsized. It wasn't that super, but it was a big boat. No, it wasn't. But I have a different point to make.

1:21:43 This guy, Ian Carroll, please stop sending me his videos. He is no good. The holes that he leaves in things and the connections he makes... I am a conspiracy therapist. I have talked... Who's Ian Carroll? Oh, he's the guy with the long hair and then he does a green screen behind him. He's got the sunglasses on his head and he talks like this. So we might be witnessing the CIA taking over this crazy AI tech company or these might all just be crazy coincidences.

1:22:18 You tell me. Last night, some freak waterspout tornado sank this luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily. And on board was Mike Lynch, who's been called the Bill Gates of the UK. We'll get to him in just a second. But also on board was Jonathan Blumer, the international chair of Morgan Stanley, one of the biggest banks in the world. He was apparently really good friends with Mike Lynch. And Mike Lynch just beat like this multi-year super big fraud trial that he got extradited to the US for. He had a 0.5% chance of acquittal and he He got it. And there's a whole other mysterious death related to the exact same company and trial that we'll get to in just a second. But Mike Lynch founded this company called Autonomy that he sold to HP for a bunch of money. And then he was throwing a victory party with all of his lawyers and his buddies.

1:23:09 In the chair of Morgan Stanley and then that boat they were having their party on like weeks after this trial got hit by this crazy freak water. So on June 6th of this year, they were found not guilty on all charges. And then his co-defendant, Chamberlain, who is a member of this company, he got struck by a car while he was out running and died. And so with that Jack in the Box music too. So he does, he has millions of views, hundreds of thousands of followers and people are like, I like this guy. He's great. He's really connecting the dots. No, he's not. He's not. And like this crazy AI company was a piece of crap company.

1:23:52 That's why he got sued. That's why he got sued, exactly. Oh, the CIA is taking over this AI. The CIA invented Google. They don't need to kill people. To what end? I just have to stop this. Stop watching this guy. He is no good. And it's spinning people up and they're getting distracted. Go outside. Go play outside. Play autonomy. Do you remember the autonomy? Actually, I don't. And then another comment, dark trace. Oh, must be CIA stuff. Yeah. No. The captain did not have the keel down on this super yacht. These types of funnels, water funnels, do happen in the Mediterranean. Certainly, there were many eyewitnesses. You can see the video itself. The boat capsizes.

1:24:47 And of course the crew is up on deck trying to figure out what to do. The hatch is open and there's 22 people on board and 15 drowned, 15 saved and 7 drowned. Okay, it happens. Bad day. Day wrecker. But please stop with sending me this guy's videos and telling me he's the best thing since sliced bread I'm all in on conspiracies didn't land on the moon. I mean for sure we did it by the way I saw that movie fly me to the moon. What a disappointment in the movie with It was it was like a big Apple TV production

Fly Me to the Moon Movie Review, Streaming Costs

Adam Curry reviews the film "Fly Me to the Moon," expressing disappointment in the $19 rental price and the movie's quality. He critiques the casting of Channing Tatum and the "nepotism" of including SNL's Colin Jost. Curry jokes that Kamala Harris should campaign on making streaming movies cheaper.

fly me to the moon· woody harrelson· scarlett johansson· channing tatum· apple tv· colin jost

1:25:28 And supposedly it's a movie about the movie they made with Woody Harrelson's in it. That they made, they had a parallel movie running and you know because they didn't think they would land on the moon. It's a big, I thought it was going to be a comedy. It was a disappointment. The comedy. That's a funny idea. No one's done that. No, that's what I thought it was gonna be and I paid 19 bucks. It was very disappointing. You're throwing money away. Yes. What? How do you pay 19 bucks? You paid 19 bucks to watch something on your computer? No, on the Roku. We watch it on the TV. You paid 19 bucks to watch a movie at home? To give you this report. I do it for the show.

1:26:12 So everyone else can save 19 bucks by not watching it. Yeah, well good. They tell people not to watch it, but holy... holy moly! What an outrageous fee! I thought it'd be like two bucks, five bucks. No! Where you been? No, no, no. Because it was in theaters. When something just is still... I think it's still in theaters and it's had its two-month run, then they put it on Even Amazon, there's lots of new movies you have to pay up there. Mission Impossible. Also 19 bucks. And I don't mind paying for content. I mean, it's too bad it sucked. If you got ripped off, I think I'd mind. I still watched the whole thing. The art direction was nice. I mean, I could appreciate it.

1:26:53 But no. But why, why the... Now, this is what Kamala Harris should be working on. This is a gouge. Make streaming cheaper. Now, I'd vote for Kamala if she made streaming movies cheaper. There you go. That should be, that should be five bucks max. $4.98. $4.98. How much money do these people need to make? $19 to watch a shit movie at home? Yes. Unbelievable. Yeah, well, it's what it is man. I can't help it. It's what it is. That's you're keeping busy watching Veep. That's free. Yeah, well, that's the point. That's what you want. We actually missed, you know, like eight episodes of Veep would have fit into that two and a half. It was too long to two and a half hour movie. It's too long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know. I feel bad about it. Believe me.

1:27:50 What's her name? She's a big-name actress in it. Ooh. It's a Fly Me to the Moon. It's even called a romantic comedy. What's her face so it wasn't funny Scarlett Johansson comedy scarlet was a romantic no Scarlett was romantic for the people that collected 19 bucks from you and the worst part was Channing Tatum So he does Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson and Woody Harrelson plays like the the government guy It was like you got to make this movie

1:28:28 But the worst thing they did was, so they have to convince all these congressmen to fund the moon mission, because they didn't want to apparently, I guess it's historical. And then one of these nutty congressmen is Colin Joust, who is Scarlett Johansson's husband. A little nepotism in the business. But what it did is it took you right out of the story like, oh that's Colin Joust. This is dumb. It would have taken me out of the story. I don't know the guy. Well, from Saturday Night Live you know the guy. He does the weekend update.

1:29:05 Oh, the Weekend Update guy, well that would take me out of the movie. Yeah, and it took me right out of the movie. I'm like, I mean, I should have been refunded the money for that alone. You should have asked for a refund. Yeah, okay. Have you tried? Yeah, have you ever tried to get anything out of Apple? Come on, nothing. You get nothing from Apple. Which by the way is the only bipartisan thing we have in America. 90% of us use iPhones. Us? Well, Not us. Not you and I. I mean, you barely have a phone. I have a phone, but... It's a brick. It's a brick in your drawer. You put it in the drawer where it belongs. To be pestered all day by somebody ringing a phone. Anyway, to wrap up all of this stuff, how people get crazy about this political stuff, I have a tip. If someone goes off on you like, Project 9-0-25, all you have to say is,

CHAPTER 27 / 47 Discussion

Blockchain Community Ad, DNC Commercial Analysis

The hosts analyze a confusing commercial for blockchain technology that aired during DNC coverage on CNN. The ad featured black actors claiming blockchain gives "the community a voice." Curry and Dvorak express total confusion over the ad's message and the organization behind it, suggesting it might be "code" for something else.

blockchain· bitcoin· dnc· cnn· advertising· crypto

1:30:05 Were you not heard as a child? I think that's what we should be saying to each other. Were you not heard as a child? That's actually not bad. Thank you. I think that's, you can just use that. Were you not heard as a child? You know, because it stuns people. Like, oh what? And then they start thinking about their childhood and then you can, you know. I have one, before we finish this segment, I have one last DNC clip, which is not about the DNC, but it was a commercial that was played on the DNC show on CNN. And I'm playing it for you, because I would like you to tell me, this is an ad for blockchain. I want you to tell me, and with all black actors,

1:30:54 Going on and on about blockchain, I want you to tell me what is the point of this commercial? The current system leaves people out. You're in the club or you're not in the club. With things like Bitcoin and blockchain, we're connecting people from all walks of life. We're offering education in an industry that can impact their lives today. This is how we can have a generational impact. Crypto and blockchain is about fixing the broken system and giving people in my community a voice. My name is Doug. My name is Huw Lil. And I'm empowering my community. My community. My community with blockchain. Now, was there a company name on the screen? It was the Democrat, it was not Democrats, it was like the American Industry for Blockchain. Some screwy thing I never heard of. But how is blockchain giving the community voice? Have you not seen the blockchain?

1:31:53 I don't know. That's a good one. You got me stumped. I have no idea. Well, I'm glad because it has me stumped and I'm not... Next time... It was like, maybe it was code. Next time I talk to Moe. And then some building's gonna get blown up next week. But I mean, the whole thing was the weirdest commercial I've ever seen. Blockchain's gonna give your community voice. Next time I talk to Moe, I said, Moe, are you in on the blockchain? Do you have a voice in your community with the blockchain? I don't know. It's DNC, man. They're crazy. They're all crazy. They're all nuts. And meanwhile I walk outside in the morning with my dog and it's just like, it's just same old same. That's a chemtrail or two. That's disappointing. But otherwise, it's going to be 90 degrees tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. Texas is wonderful. The earth is not boiling. You know, praise God we don't live in the Middle East or in Ukraine and we're okay. Stay away from this overheated rhetoric of poop. Just go read a book.

Value for Value, PayPal Outage, No Agenda Nation

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss the "Value for Value" funding model and a recent PayPal outage that affected donations. They thank the "No Agenda Nation" for their support and wellness checks on regular donors like the Duke of Luna. Curry encourages listeners to use modern podcast apps to receive "bat signals" when the show goes live.

1:32:54 Kareem Dvorak say block chain block chain. Maybe that's it. Maybe if we all just check out the blockchain will feel better about life And with that I'd like to thank you for your current say in the morning to you the man who just put the sea in the block chain On the other end the one the only mr. John In the morning you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning all the ships will see boots on the ground, feet in the air, shubs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. We are identical to last Thursday and with one one less 1889 versus 1890 so that's pretty much on par hello trolls Good to see you all here. You are checking us out in the troll room, and it's nice nice to have the trolls The trolls are good trolls are helpful And it's just nice to have a studio audience Who and now you you don't look at it? But I am now so trained that even if I'm looking straight ahead. I see the trolls and

1:33:52 trolling out of the corner of my eye. It's become... Yeah, they're writing for you. Oh yeah, oh tons of one-line... I mean I didn't have to show up, just throw it to Adam AI and we're good to go. You gotta get a good AI voice that sounds like you and just have it read from the... From the troll room, yeah, exactly, exactly. We don't have a laugh track though, we should probably add that. They're listening at troll room dot IO where you can also hop into the troll room and listen live to no agenda stream Which is 24 7 the absolute best way to do that I find is use one of the modern podcast apps troll room is in is a part of the protocol for live which you cannot get on your legacy apps and

1:34:36 And so when we go live, you get a bat signal. The bat signal alerts you. You tap on it. Boom. You hear the show live. You control along. Everything's on these apps, podcastapps.com. And you can also use it to support us. Any 2.0 compatible podcast will take advantage of the donation link. So you don't have to think about noagendadonations.com. You can just be listening like, oh, these guys are so good. I got to give them some value. Boom. Click it. You go straight to the donation page. It's beautiful. And we do that under the value for value system. Actually, I had something, did I have something that we needed to do in this? Oh, that's for the second, no, that's for the second segment. Value for value, time, talent, treasure. I don't know what happened with PayPal last week, but it seems like, did stuff get delayed and show up today? No, I don't think so. It just got stuff, what happened, no, what happened was,

1:35:34 Something there was a probably a outage now that would went on for at least eight hours And it was right during when we do most of our donations We collect most of the donations in the out whatever the outage was I never got alerted It resulted in a very low Moment yeah, because I had a wellness check done on the Duke of Luna and And people did that. You know, they say, hey, are you okay, Duke of Luna? Which I love that. I love our community. I love our Noah Gen the Nation. Some people like knock on the... He was baffled. Hey man, are you all right? The kids can't see you. And he said, no, something went wrong and his donation didn't go through. And it was a break in his, what, four year streak or whatever? Well, he's still credited for a continuation because he said that he

1:36:22 Contributed and he never got the confirmation. No didn't think much of it because you know, yeah Yeah, and so and then he never got his credit. And so he felt you know slighted and Of course he did There may be more people. Anyway, you can support us with time talent or treasure. There are so many people doing you know, we we really need to have people continue to hit people in the mouth and tell them to listen to the show. I see a lot of people doing this on X. Make sure you tell your neighbors. You know, send that clip of that Tim Walz told you to clip and send to your neighbors and say, you hear this? This is crap, right? You should listen to this show.

CHAPTER 29 / 47 Discussion

Podcast Artwork, Scaramanga, Authentified Episode

The hosts praise the community-contributed artwork for the show, specifically Scaramanga's "Authentified" art for episode 1687. They discuss the challenges of using complex art that loses detail when scaled down, referencing a rejected piece titled "The Rolling Agendas" that featured numerous hidden gags.

podcast art· scaramanga· mpox· dnc· rolling agendas· curry· dvorak

1:37:05 and then send them to noagendershow.net. I mean stuff like that really helps. And not everybody is going to get it or gonna be in on, feel like they belong. There are people that do not like what we have to say. And sometimes they'll try two or three goes and then they're like, oh you know, and now I get it. It does happen. And the more people we have in No Agenda Nation see the Duke of Luna, connection is protection. We always want to thank the people who deliver us some phenomenal talents. That's our artists. We are one of the few. I think I'm gonna have Dave Jones run a query. I think there may be only 10 shows in the entire podcast universe that update their artwork.

1:37:53 on a regular, per show. And we love it a lot because it really gets people's attention. It's like, it's not just, after a while, you know, you see the same artwork for Pivot or for Joe Rogan, you're like, oh, okay. And you don't think about it. But when you see the art that, let's see, who was it, that Scaramanga did for episode 1687, we titled that Authentified. I got a lot of positive comments. People like, best album art ever, hilarious. And it was the guy with the rainbow shirt running away from the hilarious monkey, clearly a nod to M-Pox. And people loved it. And I think that reminds people that we're doing the show. People have busy lives, you know, they're

1:38:42 all wrapped up in looking at super yachts and trying to figure out how a directed energy weapon capsized it. So instead of that, you know, like, oh, well, there's no agenda. I'll listen to the show. And people do. And I like what Scaramanga did. We both thought it was funny. It was funny. Unfortunately, it was the fallback. It's the one we liked the most. Yeah, it was not good and not the right dimensions. Everything was wrong about it. It was capitalist agenda. Yeah. The rolling whatever, rolling agents. The rolling agendas. The rolling agendas. And it was a bathroom with a bunch of graffiti. And the no agenda thing wasn't big enough or bold enough. And the Curry Dvorak thing was kind of...

1:39:25 You couldn't read any of the gags. There was tons of gags that were hilarious. The whole art piece was very pretty. I mean, this is something I would print out and hang up. That's how pretty it is. It was gorgeous. Gorgeous! Gorgeous in a very artistic way, but useless as the show art. Yeah. Because by the time you shrink it down to postable size, you know, it just looks like a crappy toilet. And you don't see all the, I mean, he had all the gags. Cheesecake Love, DNC 68. What else did he have? Mpox Thighs. That is for a good time. 333 KAM-ALAS. I mean, Mac and Cheese Time. I listened to the best podcast in the universe. It just had good stuff in there.

CHAPTER 30 / 47 Discussion

AI Art and Music Limitations, Soulless Technology

Dvorak and Curry critique the current state of AI-generated art and music, noting that AI still struggles with spelling and "soulless" vocal performances. They argue that AI cannot replicate human timing or humor, dismissing claims by "Comicstripblogger" that AI voices will soon replace human podcasters.

ai art· ai music· suno· udio· comicstripblogger· voiceover· humor

1:40:12 Yeah. And was there anything else? Well, there's a... No, but there's a piece I wanted to talk about. Okay. Which was pod... a piece by a newcomer, Sean the Pan, Pod Mastery, which is just in the row below. And it's got a guy laying with his cat. And I just want to mention that if you're going to do a AI art check and take a look at what's going on here like for example He's got a mug and it's got no agenda mug with no agenda misspelled I didn't even see that let me see it's a G E D G AGE AGE DD Yeah, okay, G and then there's some head. There's a headline in this newspaper media master Dation

1:41:01 Yeah, it's just like a typical AI when you have a do wordage It always screws it up, but I don't know why you just say I want you to put this word in the art And you can't do it. It's like how many fingers you can't get the fingers, right? It's like that. Why can't you do why can't AI? Put wordage in that is what you just simply you just tell it what you want and it should just take and transpose it But no no no it adds extra letters. It puts things upside down It's a joke it is I don't know why it's the most it's the oddest thing you know people also are sending me songs end of show mix songs and

1:41:47 And so they'll send me a song that is clearly AI, because you can hear it in the vocals. And they spend a lot of time writing the lyrics. I'm like, okay, you made a song that is not a hit. It won't do parody songs. It can't, because they get sued and they're already getting sued. And they said, but you know, it's the same as the art. It has no soul, soulless. Has there ever been a song that has become a hit that is AI? No. Not yet. Oh, please. It won't. It's not going to happen. I guarantee there will be one. Okay. All right. Let's put that in the book right now. Put it in the book! There will not be a song from AI that's going to be a hit. That's not how the music industry works. Yet. Okay.

1:42:36 Yeah, alright. I'm not too worried, believe me. I'm not too worried. Let's see if there's anything else. Please stop with the Kamala Harris fellatio stuff. It's not funny. We're never gonna use it. Just Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Tim Walz, don't. We're not going to use it. And if you're going to do, and now John H says, well, this is a hand-drawn Curry and Dvorak. I don't believe that for a second. He has us both in two locations. I'm in Texas. I look like a like a douchebag with a beard. You look like a douchebag without a beard. And your shorts and you have socks in your shoes and it's wrong. Everything's wrong about it. And you can't just slap a 33 on it and think we're gonna go for it. We've got to be harsh.

1:43:30 pictures. This is not even close. It's terrible. They are. And nobody and that's not and yeah I agree this is not hand-drawn. No. No. Unless it's like some drawing that he's put aside some years ago of two guys that don't even look like us. And again it the AI... And I don't wear glasses. I haven't worn glasses for decades. The AI cannot be funny for you. It just can't. You have to be funny. You know, Comicstripblogger, he's all in on AI. And I think I posted something like, you know, he said, oh, it's all over, podcasters. AI voices are now going to take over. You don't need it anymore. It's all great.

1:44:15 I'm like, no, it has no soul. It's soulless. And then he posted... But why does anybody think that way? He's a commentator blogger. He thinks very special. I think it's some sort of weird eternal optimism. Well, listen... About how all futuristic things are somehow going to be great. Well, listen to the example. He says, These AI voiceover voices are improved bigly. Just hear this example. Or possible for you to be the one behind the microphone. Hey, is that a Steam? My other long time good voiceover friend? Hi again, Tom. And speaking of things you can do, AI voiceover has a ton of male and female voices to choose from. You can choose what's best for your project. And in your case, Tom, people

1:44:58 People might not have to be subjected to cheesy jokes and puns. Yes, you think they're funny, but those puns can be pun-ishing. I won't bring up the... I mean, seriously? Seriously. Will people listen to that and will they be happy? No. Because it's not funny. AI cannot do humor. Timing. Timing, exactly. Timing. Good point. Timing. Anyway, and that's good because you know It can AI get into a stupid argument about Elon Musk and what Trump said about him. No, it's never gonna happen Yet, this is where you say yet I don't have a yet for that one

CHAPTER 31 / 47 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits, Troy Lafferty, Indiana Meetup

The hosts read donation notes from high-tier producers, including a $600 donation from Troy Lafferty. They acknowledge the Indiana Tribal Meetup and various "switcheroo" donations for family members. Curry and Dvorak discuss their presence on IMDB and the value of production credits for their listeners.

troy lafferty· indiana· meetup· executive producer· donations· alex jones

1:45:45 Let's thank the people who delivered us some treasure in our trifecta. We'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers right here in the show, pretty much like Hollywood, because we also give them an actual production credit, which you can use anywhere credits are accepted and recognized, such as LinkedIn, you can always put it on your letterhead and your bio, but also IMDB.com. So you can be right up there with Scarlett Johansson, who has a credit because she was also a producer on Fly Me to the Moon. You can be a producer and you can call yourself an executive producer, $300 or above and we read your note or an associate executive producer, $200 above, we read your note right there on IMDB.com. And we start off with Troy Lafferty from Newark, Ohio.

Once I can reveal my Dame name. She's an abeyance. Okay. Gotcha. Is an abeyance. Right word. Thank you for all you do. No jingles, just karma for everybody.

Linda Lou Patkin, Gigawatt Coffee, DNC Speech Predictions

Adam Curry reads a note from "Duchess of Jobs" Linda Lou Patkin and discusses the effectiveness of simple email subject lines like "hey." They explain their process for finding and clipping news segments, noting that while the community provides many links, the hosts do the majority of the actual media deconstruction and clipping themselves.

1:55:26 Uh, note for the boys. ITM John and Adam Nadir from the Indiana Tribal Meetup doing another switcheroo towards my mom's damehood status. The work you two put into every show is always appreciated and never goes unnoticed. Jingles, goat karma, and 33 is the magic number. You've got karma. I'm gonna jump to Linda Lou Patkin in Lakewood, Colorado $200 jobs karma. Hey, hey That was the course the title subject line of the newsletter. It always works as a classic I only do it I do it rarely. I do it like once every half year I'd say no about once a year that I haven't done it for about a year and Every time I do it. Yeah, it's a huge success it is I

1:56:22 For people out there who do direct marketing, one of the little tips out there is that the most... When you're in trouble, when you're in trouble... When people aren't opening your emails, you want to use the subject line, hey. Now I use lowercase h. With an exclamation mark. No, I just do h-u-e. Oh, you just say, hey, oh, okay. Since you brought it up. I avoid using exclamation marks in my subject lines because they will trigger some spam filters. That's right. You're right. So no matter how exclamation-y your line is, don't use them. Anyway, so, okay, Jobs Karma, hey, she writes, for a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs. That's Image Makers Inc. with a K. Or find Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes on the producer's list. Yes, ma'am. Oh.

1:57:19 Jobs, karma. Yes, jobs, karma. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! And from Bensonville, Illinois, 208.22, Eli the Coffee Guy says, I've been looking forward to the media deconstruction of the DNC convention. You got it. If it is anywhere near as rabidly overenthusiastic as the NPR coverage I caught a few minutes of, then we're in for a treat. Thanks for doing the hard work of wading through the propaganda so we don't have to. Yes, that's another thing I want to say. If people, you know, besides saying, hey, were you not heard as a child? You can just say... Were you not heard as a child? Yes. You can just say, listen to Noah Jenner's show. You don't need to watch any news. They'll bring you up to speed and you'll know everything. Whether you agree with those guys or not, which we hope you don't, at least not all the time.

1:58:12 You'll get your dosage. We play 70 to 80 clips per show. People don't realize that. I got some guy who emailed me. He said, how many clips come from the community? How much do you do based on your own research? And that was his actual voice. Completely. I ran it through a chat GPT and that's how it sounded. I'm like, well, if you think about it, I would say 40% comes from the community of that really 15% comes pre-clipped. The rest is, I mean, for sure our producers send us links and stories and things to look at, but the clipping, we do most of that ourselves.

1:58:58 Even with the Jones Brothers, I mean, and they send a... Except for the Jones Brothers when they... Of course they bailed out on me. But except for them, I do all my... I just... I have a notebook. I watch TV all day. Mostly news shows. And so I'm watching it and when I see something, I line it up on the networks, I write down the time date and then I'll go to the computer later using my Google TV connection and we'll clip the things individually. So I have a great resource, Dave Ackerman, and he sends me every day at least

1:59:37 I want to say 20, sometimes 30 links to Deutsche Welle and France 24 and TRT. And I like it because I can stay up, I use very few of them, relatively speaking. I like it because I can stay up to speed with what's going on, you know, because you don't get that kind of reporting here in the US. So that's almost like my television that I'm watching. And then from time to time, oh, I'm going to clip this. This is good. And that's how it works. But you are the producers of the show. So whoever that was, and I thought it was a little rude. He didn't follow up and say, hey, thanks, because I'm sure he was

2:00:14 Looking to slam us or something or write a story. It felt a bit like a podcast journalist You know, but ultimately noxi moron there are between 70 and 80 Clips that you hear in every single no agenda show and and we weave those together as if it's second nature So Eli's... It's a postmodern approach to news analysis. Yes, unscripted, without coordination. I don't even know what John's clips are. I mean, half of them are indecipherable. What is DNS? I mean... Anyway, thanks for doing the hard work of wading through the propaganda. I do a lot of typos. I do typos on purpose to confuse him. Yeah, and then we can never find him later. It's like it's a DNC clip. Okay, won't show up in my search. That's why I donate. For producers who may need help to stay up while listening to the drawl convention speeches this evening, it's the final one.

2:01:10 Order up some gigawatt coffee use code ITM 20 for 20% off your order stay caffeinated PS Can I get an L bag daddy for the end of show mix? We're already full For this end of show mix, but I will put it in on the schedule and I was gonna say something else Oh, yeah, you know I was thinking Why, you know, podcast networks have failed continuously, Spotify failed, you know, the advertising is not working for people. Why wouldn't an outfit like Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, why wouldn't they start their own podcast network and just make it all a Gigawatt podcast?

2:01:48 You know, like the old days. Good. You know what I mean? You know, and they can pay people based upon performance. I'm just thinking it would, you know, it would be an idea. Yeah, it's a good way to lose our coffee connection. Thanks for that. Good idea. What am I thinking? I'm sorry. That was very bad. I get some coffee every month from them, and it's like you know I'm not complaining no so Tonight will be the night we have we have one more one more donation. I believe oh no. I don't want to Interregnum yeah, there's a word tonight

2:02:26 Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, I don't know what her name is. She gives her speech and I'm putting money down that she is going to say that she was a prosecutor and she knows Donald Trump's type. No one's taking that bet. I mean, that's an obvious one. That's all she has to say. She has one speech. She's worse than Biden. Do you think she'll do the cackle? No. Yes, definitely will not. I think we should put money on the cackle. I say she can't help herself. Well, if she chortles, does that count? No, it has to be... I think she'll do three of them. She'll have three cackles. Oh, please. Three cackles. That'd be the over and under. Three cackles. Okay, one cackle. 2.5 would be the over and under. That's the way you do it. 2.5. And right after that, she's going to do a full-on sit-down interview with CBS for... what's their Sunday show?

2:03:23 CBS 60 Minutes. 60 Minutes. She's going to do a 60 Minutes interview so they can edit it and make it look good. Well here we are, last donation comes from Kimberly. Kimberly Cram in North Fort Myers, Florida. And she comes in with a flat $200 and says the simple line, 10 more years for no agenda! Four more years! What's the over-under on 10 more years of no agenda? Good luck with that. I don't, I mean, and it's, it's the only reason why is just we've now had how many presidential coverage campaigns of coverage? This is our fourth? Obama? Well, we also had before Obama. We had, yeah, we had this right. We had no, we had Obama.

2:04:15 We started with Obama. Obama came in 2008. Our show started a year before Obama. So the first campaign was... That was the president that was running at the time. I forgot who it was. I didn't say how many presidents, I said how many campaigns. So Obama 1, Obama 2. We had Obama versus Clinton. No, Obama versus Romney. So Obama 1, Obama 2, Trump, and now Kamala. So that's four presidential campaigns. No, five because you get Trump versus Biden. Don't leave that one out. We'll get an extra one. Thank you all so much to our executive and associate executive producers of episode 1688. We appreciate anybody who supports the show financially. You can do it with time, talent, and treasure. We do need the treasure. So when you see Hay, you know what to do.

Samsung Solid-State Battery, California Utility Scams

The hosts discuss Samsung's development of a solid-state battery with a 600-mile range and 9-minute charge time, though Dvorak remains skeptical of its commercial viability. They also cover skyrocketing utility bills in Southern California, which Dvorak attributes to "scambola" involving the Public Utilities Commission and Pacific Gas and Electric.

2:06:05 What kind of little bit and then I came across this 30-second clip and like maybe if I'm gonna set you up and then you can tell us about this. This is climate change related Samsung Developed a new solid-state battery for electric vehicles now So what does this mean normally in an electric vehicle and everyone who's had an EV, you know is basically going around It's like man. I only have like a 400 mile range and it takes like I don't know, it takes like 17 hours to charge the dumb thing. And so this new battery has a 600 mile range, 20 year lifespan, and it charges in nine minutes. It's like, okay, this is a game changer.

2:06:52 Game changer, is this true? Silver based batteries that... I mean, this guy is just computing it into hours. I mean, that's a lot of parameters there that would change that, but what's the dealio? What's the dealio? This silver is silver carbon, I think is the technology. This is a, and there's a certain name for this type of battery, which is unpronounceable. And it's been researched at Duke University, probably more than any place else. And Samsung, I guess, has picked up the gauntlet and they're looking at it too.

2:07:28 This is a lab thing. This is something that somebody dreamed up. It's called solid-state battery as if other batteries aren't solid, but okay. Solid-state battery, which indicates some sort of electronics thing going on within the confines of the battery, which makes me sound, sounds like a little bit like a super capacitor. But I think it's just nonsense. I don't think this battery is ever going to... This is like all the crazy batteries they developed. The zinc air battery, my all-time favorite. No, I like the salt battery. The sodium battery, the salt battery. I like the salt battery a lot. And by the way, that sounds like a very expensive battery. Yes, but if it lasts 20 years and it does what it's supposed to do, 9-minute charging,

2:08:15 I'm sorry. Nice idea. Maybe it works. Maybe you have a little double A cell version of it. Maybe that would be nine minutes. But I think that this is pie in the sky. I'll believe it when I see it. All right. But I brought it up because I think it is floating around in the conversation and it may jack up the price of silver. All right. I have another one for you because this is although you are NorCal this is so Cal I wonder it's all Cal and you are the boots on the ground and you're gonna go down with that ship you know you're gonna be like that that guy on the superyacht. I don't think so. Suffocating high temperatures in her Lancaster community means she's been cranking up the AC and her July bill skyrocketed from about 200 to 700 dollars. We have given up

CHAPTER 34 / 47 Discussion

Door-to-Door Sales Scams, Insurance Fraud, Roof Replacement

A listener report from "Cervantes" details a widespread door-to-door roofing scam where contractors convince homeowners to file insurance claims for minor storm damage to get full roof replacements. The hosts discuss how this practice drives up home insurance premiums for everyone and characterize it as a significant economic drain.

door-to-door· insurance fraud· roof replacement· shingles· economics· cervantes

2:09:07 quite a lot in order to pay the bill. Extracurricular activities that we normally like to do, trips that we normally like to take. If your bill went way up last month it could be because you have a time of use rate plan. That means you're paying higher costs during the peak hours between 4 and 9 p.m. weekdays. and you might save money by switching to a tiered rate plan. With the tiered rate plan, monthly bills are based on total energy consumption, not on the time of day when they're using the energy. KTLA Consumer Reporter David Lazarus says SoCal Edison time of use rate plans are a way to motivate customers to conserve power. Why shouldn't you be able to do your laundry whenever you want?

2:09:49 Well, the problem is, is our grid just simply can't take the burden. And as the population grows, that means we need to try to find ways to incentivize people to help out. Have your energy bills skyrocketed? Yeah, but it's not because of what they're talking about. They've added all these extra charges to the bill, including transmission charges, just the charge for the wires. You're leasing these wires now. There is a scam going on in California regarding the power bills. that is not being addressed by what used to be a powerful public utilities commission that has been deballed, has no power anymore, and they're letting Pacific Gas and Electric just run roughshod over the public at large. It's a complete, outrageous, typical California scam that takes place during Democratic administrations. I remember the days of Gray Davis when he was the governor, one of the few that we've had the guts to recall. Is that the guy who killed his intern?

2:10:51 I don't think so. But Gray Davis was one of the worst of the governors, typical Democrat, and that's when we had the rolling blackouts and rolling brownouts and we had the contracts with Enron and all the rest of it. And it was a scambola from the get-go. And once this guy was ousted, they put in Schwarzenegger, of all people, at least it calmed that down and we didn't have blackouts. How did we go from blackouts and brownouts and slowdowns and to no blackouts. I mean this whole thing is it's ludicrous and this is the corruption of the party, of the Democrat Party. And since they've captured the state with, I say fraudulent voting, like they like Oregon,

2:11:35 And Washington, Oregon's mail-in and so is Washington. Washington state's 100% mail-in and California's mostly absentee ballots. It's just, we're screwed unless they get rid of these people. So it's just the price you have to pay to be here. Do you think there's Enron level shenanigans going on again? I would have to assume so with the, yeah. I had some door-to-door guy come by with the... Door-to-door guy? Yeah, these door-to-door guys that come around. Political guys. And he's coming around and selling solar stuff and he shows that he had a breakdown of the bills. Wait, wait, you actually opened up and you talked to him? I always do. Were you packing? I usually carry a large Bowie knife. So...

2:12:28 Really, I believe you. I believe you. And so the guy's showing me the breakdown, and he's showing me some of the scams going on, and I was fascinated by it. But it's just, yes, it's very scam-ish. You know, we got a cool note from Cervantes. I don't know if you saw this, because he's a door-to-door sales guy. And I've had many of these people show up, and I'm like, wow, this explains a lot. Now he says in 2015 he moved from Maine to Georgia to become a door-to-door roof salesman. It's something I didn't know existed, he says, as DTD, salespeople, that's what you call them, trend to get shot where I come from. Yes, I would say in Texas you got to be careful too, but it's a massive industry and I believe it's a huge contributing factor to the expense of home insurance. Listen to this. What happens is these contractors will target neighborhoods that were built with shingles that have either been recalled or otherwise discontinued.

2:13:26 They send sales people around to knock on doors and offer a free roof inspection to homeowners. If any damage is found that could remotely be considered storm damage, and that's why people come around here a lot, hail, shingles missing from wind, etc. The homeowner is then convinced that, oh, oh no, your roof is destroyed, but good news, there's a way to fix that one damaged shingle. Your insurance company will pay to replace the whole roof. This has led to millions of fully functional roofs being replaced for free, in quotes. As anyone with a basic understanding of economics will understand, this can only go on for so long. The average roof replacement costs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. And while insurance is a bit of a scam, and the companies aren't likely to go broke anytime soon, they're also going to do what every other company does and pass the cost on to the consumers. I think this is exactly what's happening. In what way?

2:14:25 Because I have seen these, we have a metal roof. Oh no, you're talking about the roof thing. I thought you were talking about PG&E's overpriced... No, no, no, no, no. I've moved on to door-to-door salesmen. Hello? Hello? Yeah, but it seemed you made a joke. Yes, it's what I do. But this is an outrageous scam. Sounds like it. And it's hurting everybody. It probably is. Except for Cervantes who should immediately become an instantite. Because he's doing this. You're right. He should send us a thousand dollars and become an instant item. Exactly. You're right. So here's another scam that I bumped into. Let's just start guilt tripping all the people that write us. So, uh, Stek, he always sends me a whole bunch of art. He doesn't send clips anymore.

CHAPTER 35 / 47 Discussion

Ozempic Shortage, NPR Compounding Pharmacy Report

Adam Curry deconstructs an NPR report on the "Ozempic town" of Bowling Green, Kentucky. He accuses NPR of carrying water for Big Pharma by casting doubt on the safety of cheaper, compounded versions of GLP-1 drugs. Curry argues that the media is attempting to protect brand-name profits by scaring low-income users away from off-brand alternatives.

ozempic· glp-1· npr· compounding pharmacy· bowling green· big pharma

2:15:13 He sends articles. He stopped clipping, which is too bad because I like a lot of his clips were good. After you obviously weren't using him enough. Snick is very sensitive to you usage. Well, he gave up on you and then he moved. Yeah, because I wasn't using it. I wasn't falling all over myself. So he sends me a link to the Atlantic headline. The Osempic shortage is over. Obesity drug shortages have led to a boom in risky alternatives. They may be impossible to stop. And I initially was like, okay, whatever. But then I get these other clips. This is from the Jones Brothers, from Steve, from NPR, consider this. This is an advertising blitz. They are out to get rid, and with I think faulty information, if not outright lies, they want to stop

2:16:04 the GLP-1 compounded medicines and get everybody on Ozempic and certainly don't want insurance companies paying for anything but the brand name stuff. When you imagine where these drugs are prescribed most for weight loss around the US, maybe you're thinking, oh Los Angeles of course or maybe New York. But you know, it turns out the capital of the weight loss drug boom is in Kentucky, in a small city called Bowling Green. At least 4% of the population in that city and surrounding area got a prescription in just the last year.

2:16:40 Consider this, weight loss drugs have transformed an American city. Is that a good thing? Bowling Green, Kentucky might seem like an unlikely hub for weight loss drugs. That is until you dig into the data. Kentucky has one of the highest obesity rates in the country and rates of adult diabetes and hypertension are going up and up. Well, let me ask you, because the weight loss drug industry has struggled with supply shortages for years, which has been especially harmful for patients with diabetes because they actually need these drugs to stay alive. So how is a city like Bowling Green keeping up with demand for these weight loss drugs? By the way, I think that Kamala should, in her speech, she should say, I'm going to get you, I'm going to lower the price of Ozempic to $35. Now that would be something.

2:17:33 Huh? Instead of insulin, which apparently the whole country is on insulin. So here is, here's the scam. One of the ways that the city and this is actually happening across the US, but it's really obvious in Bowling Green is there are these medical spas and weight loss clinics that are popping up that offer what are known as compounded drugs, compounded versions of Zep Bound or Monjaro or Wigovi or Ozempic. And they're essentially like off-brand versions that are made by compounding pharmacies, which is allowed during supply shortages. And so a lot of these medical spas are actually- That's a laugh tale. And it's also a lie.

2:18:14 What was the, that was the laugh tale. You heard it. Yep. Because she said these are allowed during medical shortages. No, no, that's not true. That's a lie. That's why this is a scam. Daro or Wacovi or Ozempic. And they're essentially like off-brand versions that are made by compounding pharmacies, which is allowed during supply shortages. And so a lot of these. There it is. I just lied. I have to laugh about it. Isn't that unbelievable? Does she go that NPR allows this blatant lying? That's a blatant lie. This is why people should not send their money to NPR or PBS and send it to us. Off-brand versions that are made by compounding pharmacies, which is allowed during supply shortages. And so a lot of these medical spas are actually making a ton of money selling these compounded versions to people because so many people are having difficulty. Hold on, stop it again.

2:19:10 Who's making the ton of money? Well, not the Ozympics. The people selling it for $1,200 or some guy pushing it out for $200 or $20? Yeah, I know. This is... The ton of money is being made by the people who have the brand names. That's the ton of money. And I'm gonna have to question how much did... Novo Nordisk sponsor NPR consider this. Uh-huh. Actually making a ton of money selling these compounded versions to people because so many people are having difficulty accessing the drugs. You know with branded pharmaceutical drugs companies have to go through rigorous approval processes which requires

2:19:49 years long studies in many cases and very large studies to prove the effectiveness of their medications to prove quality and safety and all of these things. And when it comes to compounded drugs, they really weren't meant to be made at this scale. And so there aren't these studies- What scale? To back up how effective they are. And you're really going by word of mouth a lot of times or just trusting these companies that the drugs do what they're supposed to do. So here we have a poor region. This is an unbelievable report. Yeah. So here we have a poor region of America who cannot afford your $1,200 a month. They've been completely psyoped into believing this is the future of my health.

2:20:36 is by taking these medications forever. There's a clear need in the market, the pharmacists like, well, we can make this. This is not patented. The only thing that's patented is your applicator, your syringe. So we'll make this for people. And the brand name is copyrighted. And of course, and the brand name. And we're setting, we're fulfilling a need for the community, communite, But then this lady comes on NPR to tell, oh no, this is not good. They can only make it under these circumstances and you really don't know if it's any good. This is outrageous that this is on NPR. You want to hear the last clip of this liar? I'm already sick to my stomach with this pathetic report that they consider journalism and I have to listen to the end. You write, quote, we are all living in an ozempic town or will be soon.

2:21:29 Is that a good thing? After spending time in Bowling Green, what do you think? I mean, everyone that we spoke to is a lot happier and a lot healthier. And they feel like better versions of themselves. That's not to say that these drugs are a cure-all. I mean, we did talk to people who had really bad side effects from them. They're not the right fit for everyone. Notice now she's saying, oh, you know, the side effects probably because she's using the off-brand version. There are some issues that... Well, hold on. She's implying that. She's implying it, yes. She's implying it. Because the side effects are notorious with Ozempic and the rest of these things. Yes. Especially with people that don't have diabetes or don't really need these drugs.

2:22:12 And so by just as a guilt by association report at this point, which is a chicken shit way to report. That's not to say that these drugs are a cure-all. I mean, we did talk to people who had really bad side effects from them. They're not the right fit for everyone. There are some issues that the drug manufacturers need to figure out that insurance companies need to figure out and you know, going on and off of a drug is not great for your health either. And another problem with that continuity is insurance access and insurance providers covering this, employers covering it. It's important for there to be equal access to these medications. And in Bowling Green, we did go to a pharmacy that said Ozempic and other weight loss drugs are not a big

2:22:58 thing at this specific pharmacy in this specific area of Bowling Green because it did tend to be a bit more low income. So we're already sort of seeing these health disparities in terms of access emerge in Bowling Green. And that's an important consideration when you're thinking about the country as a whole and who needs these drugs and who's able to access them. I find it despicable. It's just despicable. And I really think that the politician, Trump or Harris or otherwise, who says, I'm going to make sure that you get the cheapest GLP-1 drugs, I'm going to take it down to $35, that would be, that's your game changer right there. Nobody cares about the insulin.

CHAPTER 36 / 47 Discussion

Mpox Emergency Declaration, WHO Walkback

Dr. Robert Malone's explanation for the sudden Mpox emergency declaration is featured, suggesting it was timed to prevent the previous declaration from expiring. The hosts play a clip of the WHO clarifying that Mpox is "not the new COVID," which Curry interprets as a walkback following public skepticism and a push for vaccine funding in Africa.

mpox· monkeypox· who· robert malone· vaccines· africa

2:23:44 I mean, okay, please. Well, you have your type 1 diabetic, you do. Stop sending me emails. I can already hear you firing up. Of course people care. By the way, I think it was Trump who actually did the negotiation with the big pharma. I think so too. Yeah, they're just trying to take it. It's like, you know, no tips on... Yeah, exactly. No taxes on tips has also been stolen. They're just gonna steal and sell it, which is, you know... We beat big pharma! I would do the same thing. So I'll stay with that for a moment. Two clips on the MPOX, which seems that something else was at play here. And there's even some walk back from the WHO, the World Health Organization. What was the reason? The WHO? What was the WHO? Who's on first? Who's taking the money?

2:24:32 Why was there an emergency, what was it, of international concern, whatever the phrase is? Well, of all people, Dr. Robert Malone explains exactly why there was this all this sudden, oh, monkeypox, impoxor, why? Well, here's the answer. Or psychological bioterrorism or information warfare. And in particular right now, you want to focus on the monkeypox story. So what's fascinating is it was just disclosed a few minutes ago by the World Health Organization that the prior monkeypox emergency declaration was set to expire tomorrow. Now when they make these emergency declarations, it gives them power and money.

2:25:24 And so no surprise that they have contrived to come out with yet another monkeypox emergency declaration two days before, literally, before the last one expired. So this is a lot like the gamesmanship that's been done by the Biden administration regarding the declaration of emergency for COVID. Well there you go. So it was about to expire. So it was a scam from the get-go. It was all about the vaccines for Africa and complete, because you know when you have this you can create all kinds of vaccines that can be pushed through faster etc. Complete scam and even the WHO

2:26:09 The WHO? The WHO comes out and says, oh, hold on. No, no, this is not the next COVID. The World Health Organization, which has declared the spread of the new strain a public health emergency of international concern, on Tuesday rejected comparisons with COVID-19. Mpox is not the new COVID. regardless of whether it's in pox, clade one behind the ongoing outbreak in East Central Africa or in pox, clade two behind the 2022 outbreak that initially impacted Europe and has continued to circulate in Europe since. But the rest of the general population is low. We know what to do, and we need this time the political commitment to go for elimination. Otherwise, we'll always see

2:26:56 neglect and then panic again. So let's have a political commitment to go the last mile and especially stand in solidarity with the African region. We can and must tackle in pox together across regions and continents. So it's all about money. And I'm sure Bill Gates... It's pronounced M-Pucks. M-Pucks. I'm sure Bill Gates has some kind of investment in the M-Pucks vaccine manufacturing. So, wow, thanks everybody. Everybody, even we were like, okay, here we go, this is it. Oh no. Oh, life is a scam. They did it again. They did it again to us. Yeah. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.

UK Stabbing Epidemic, Prison Overcrowding, Operation Early Dawn

Alex Phillips reports on a surge of stabbings across the UK, including an incident where an asylum seeker allegedly stabbed his immigration lawyer. The hosts discuss "Operation Early Dawn," a UK government initiative to release prisoners early to make room for those arrested during recent protests and riots.

2:27:43 I want to play, before we go too far off the rails, I want to give us a, you know, the UK's got all these issues, it's got issues. I've heard there's issues, yes. And it's terrible. So I ran into this really good clip. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible. I had this clip from one of the, she's like a group of, she's out of the Farage camp and she's a presenter named Alex Phillips. She's been, I think her latest thing, she's on talk TV or something. She keeps floating around. They can't keep a job. But she, this is a...

2:28:20 She has this nice presentation on recent UK stabbings that I think is good to listen to. This is in the last 24 hours. Really? Last 24 hours, all of these headlines. Okay, so there's been a stabbing in a supermarket in Hackney. That's a fresh one that happened today. A restaurant stabbing in Forest Gate. A man is critically ill in hospital after that. A really bad stabbing in Gorton near Manchester where a lovely woman was killed and a Christian preacher husband and her daughter were both stabbed. There's been a stabbing in Truro, yeah, little old Truro. An acid attacker has struck in a place called TP Valley in Wales, a place I actually know quite well, believe it or not, in Peterborough.

2:29:04 There's been a triple stabbing. Torquay Castle Circus, there was a stabbing there. That was a woman being jailed for that stabbing. Thankfully they found a spot for her to go in amongst the protesters. Of course, there was a horrible story of girls being sexually assaulted on the beach in Bournemouth. I remember the good old days when you could go to the beach without being raped. And Dorset police put out a big statement to all the newspapers and on social media saying, if you've been a witness, If you've seen these men approach these girls and sexually assault them, please come forward. And I'm like, OK, so what do they look like?

2:29:41 Oh, right, okay. We're not going to find out. That's very helpful. There's been an asylum seeker who stabbed his immigration lawyer and to wrap it all up, a man murdered a woman and had sex with the corpse. Oh, man. So there you go, ladies and gentlemen. Just as well we're emptying all the prisons because it seems the stabbers are on the loose. What is going on? Wow! That... Well, no, you know what? I'm gonna give you Borderline for that. That was... And mainly because when we... When the stabbing started and remember the zombie knives? They had the zombie knives. I even got a zombie knife. It was so cool.

2:30:25 And then we get producers emailing us, that's not true. It's not like your guns in America, your guns kill everybody. It's not that bad. Knives is a problem in Britain. My favorite one in that series of clips, this was at the beginning of the month that with this report, I think the 8th of August was when this report came out, when she did this, I guess is daily, there's all these stabbings. But my favorite one was the immigrant who stabbed his immigration attorney. You know what stops knife crime?

2:31:01 Guns guns. Yeah, well, it's interesting at the Indiana Jones prove that Although man if you got a crazy person with a knife You got to get your gun out real fast because they can hurt you before you can hurt them So she mentioned that they're letting people of out of the prisons. Well, yes, there is a You know, they have to lock up all these people who say horrible things on Facebook and on X and we need to put them in jail and here's how the system works. We will guarantee a prison cell. We will make sure that those people who need to be in prison will be in prison, not necessarily in the area where they live.

2:31:39 They may be two, three hundred miles away from home, but we will guarantee people a prison cell. The numbers are so tight there, how can you make that guarantee? They are tight and that's why we've initiated operation early dawn. So basically the easiest way to describe it is one in, one out. So as people get released, we can then pick up people from police cells and take them to court and we will triage that three times a day. There you go. So you just let somebody out. The cells are full. So let someone else out who can go get a knife, I guess. Yeah, they got something wrong there Well, their priorities are screwed out need to be pay very close attention to what's going on there because this is the kind of Government that does weird stuff. So I did it you said it I heard that I did it This is a problem. You're at your you're one up on me for today two to one. I'm very sorry. I

Ukraine Drone Attacks on Moscow, Orthodox Church Ban

Adam Curry reports on a massive Ukrainian drone attack targeting Moscow and President Zelensky's call for more Western weaponry. They also discuss the Ukrainian parliament's vote to ban the Russian-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which Dvorak compares to a total shutdown of religious and media freedom in the country.

ukraine· russia· moscow· drones· zelensky· orthodox church

2:32:40 This is the kind of stuff that I think you know that could happen here if you have the wrong government They can do stupid stuff. This is dumb. It's dumb anyway, let's Slut a shout out to our producer who came in today, and we'll check out what's happening in with the Ukraine versus Russia conflagration it's heating up a bit with the drones over Moscow. Now Russian authorities say air defense systems shot down several Ukrainian drones that targeted Moscow overnight. Russia's Defense Ministry said it destroyed a total of 45 drones over Russian territory including 11 over the capital region. Moscow's mayor said the city faced one of the biggest drone attacks in

2:33:32 Ukraine has launched against the capital so far. And then listen to what Zelensky says. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday the offensive showed Moscow's threats of retaliation against Western allies supplying Kiev were a bluff, addressing diplomats and other officials in the Ukrainian capital. He added that his country needs to be able to use more Western weaponry. The world knows everything in this war depends on courage, our courage and that of our partners. It depends on brave decisions, support and steps for Ukraine, not just ours. It's vital our partners are in sync with us in this determination and then Russia will be left with no option but peace.

2:34:16 Okay, so he's saying, oh, they were just bluffing about, you know, conquering us and then going into Europe? Who says that? I find this troubling. I find that the information is so poor from every direction that it's like, I don't know if you can... whatever happens, happens. And then there's this ominous report. Well, meanwhile, the Ukrainian parliament has voted to ban the Russian-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Kyiv considers the church to be aligned with Moscow and the bill was welcomed by President Volodymyr Zelensky's office today.

2:35:00 The church officially broke ties with its Russian counterpart in 2022 but some Ukrainian lawmakers have accused it of collaborating with Russian clergymen despite the invasion. Round them up! Yep, round them up you watch well. They got rid of the Russian Orthodox Church, and now they're getting rid of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Yeah, what's the kind of elections? There's no elections anymore, and they've shut down the media completely He's not even president anymore Officially did he do he's not officially his emperor But Trump yes

Judy Woodruff Trump Claim, Blinken Middle East Trip

PBS's Judy Woodruff is criticized for reporting, without evidence, that Donald Trump is urging Benjamin Netanyahu to reject a ceasefire deal to hurt the Harris campaign. The hosts discuss Anthony Blinken's ninth trip to the Middle East and the administration's desperation for an "October surprise" ceasefire before the election.

judy woodruff· pbs· donald trump· benjamin netanyahu· anthony blinken· israel

2:35:40 You have anything on Russia and Ukraine? No, I didn't get anything for this show. Then I have the latest from Israel. Of course it would be great to have an October surprise for the Harris campaign. Before you play that, I do want to play this prelude to that, what you're going to play. Prelude? Which is Judy Woodruff, who had to walk this back. Oh yeah, I'm glad you got a clip of this. She came out with this commentary and she's had to walk it back. I think everybody's all freaked out about it because there's no evidence whatsoever of what she's saying is true. The Republican is over there right now working with Netanyahu. The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because it's believed that would help the Harris campaign.

2:36:40 I don't know where that, I don't know, who knows whether that will come about or not. But I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, which is work on that one. Now, okay, so she said this without evidence, big brouhaha in news land. I think she's right, to be honest about it. I've said this from day one when BB went to visit Trump. It's like, hey... I think that may have happened then, but she said he's on the phone right now because things have changed. Okay. I think that, which is bogus, and I think that maybe he did discuss this with Netanyahu. Yeah. But I think all, when they were at Mar-a-Lago, but

2:37:30 I think all these discussions of the meeting in Qatar where there's no Hamas representative and all the rest of it, I think they're inflating this whole ceasefire thing that is non-existent. And now they're going to blame Trump just the way they blamed him for the non-passage of the bogus immigration bill. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. So she's an operative now. She got didn't she get she got replaced and she by she's always been an operative Well, here's the latest from Blinken on his ninth trip to the region US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with Israeli leaders once again ahead of talks in Cairo this week This is a decisive moment probably best

2:38:16 Maybe the last opportunity to get the hostages home, to get a ceasefire, and to put everyone on a better path to enduring peace and security. Washington says new proposals will bridge the gaps between the two sides and help avert a wider war. What's most crucial now is that everyone refrain from taking any actions that could fuel further conflict, escalate tensions, and result in the spreading of violence.

2:38:52 and in conflict. But over the weekend Hamas accused Israel of setting up new demands. And although Tehran says it doesn't intend to stop peace talks, it will seek retribution for the killings of a top Hamas leader and Iranian commander last month. Although months of previous talks have failed to reach a deal, For Washington, there's an added urgency to end the Gaza war as an issue that could sway voters in key states in the upcoming US election. The White House sees this as an inflection point that must be resolved before Joe Biden hands over the reins to a new president. Well, he's already handed over the reins. He's never going to see them again. What they keep leaving out of these reports, if they're going to blame Trump for one thing or another, is Trump's commentary, which is

CHAPTER 40 / 47 Discussion

Gaza Hostage Recovery, Reagan 1980 Parallel

The recovery of six dead hostages in Gaza is reported, with Israel estimating that 40 of the remaining 110 hostages are deceased. The hosts discuss the historical parallel to the 1980 Reagan campaign and the role of the CIA, specifically Director William Burns, in current Middle East negotiations.

gaza· hostages· hamas· ronald reagan· cia· william burns

2:39:38 been suppressed where he says there's the reason that Hamas is not interested in any hostage exchange in In regards to a ceasefire, it's because they're all dead. Yeah. Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of six hostages. The country's military said today the victims were brought back during an overnight operation in Gaza. Hamas captured them during its attack on Israel in October. Four of the deceased hostages had family members who were also abducted but later freed. Hamas is still believed to be holding around 110 hostages. Israel estimates nearly 40 of them are dead.

2:40:16 All right, so let's let's gameplay this for a second. First of all, if any hostages are released, it will be 33. I mean, that's just a given. I can tell you right now how let's just say it's all it's gameplay. How does it has to be Harris or Trump who I think has to go talk to someone in Iran to make the October surprise work? I don't know. Harris can't do it. She's not a person that can go do anything. Well, the thinking of course is that Trump has set this up. I mean... Well, that's what you would think because they're basing all this on Reagan back in 1979, 1980. Yes.

2:41:09 And that is really was the intelligence community and other people that, you know, the State Department. That was a scheme that Reagan had little to do with, I think, because he didn't have that much power. He couldn't make these things happen like that. And I think Trump's in the same boat. Yeah. The CIA's got got the handle on this and they're the ones who are doing the negotiating. Their guy does the negotiation. Yeah, what's his name? The head of this, not only just the CIA, but the head guy, William Burns, is out there floating around like Brennan was during the Maidan situation in Ukraine. Remember, he was actually there.

2:41:47 So I'm not blaming Trump for any of this. I'm not blaming him. I'm saying that... No, I didn't say you were, but they were blaming him in these, like the Woodruff report and others are blaming Trump. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand that, but that just ran... Remember, it's just a big show. So, you know, I still think they all want Trump to win. I really do. Well, there's a lot of evidence that would say you're right. Who was talking, was it, who's Debbie Dingell? Debbie Dingell, she was a, she's a congressman or a senator from New York. I think she's a congresswoman from New York. I'll look her up. She was on Meet the Press and I guess she knows that Biden is dead or incapacitated. Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it? Yeah.

CHAPTER 41 / 47 Discussion

Debbie Dingell Hope Message, Biden Departure Mockery

Representative Debbie Dingell's comments on the "contagious power of hope" are featured. The hosts mock a clip of Joe and Jill Biden boarding a plane after the DNC, noting Jill's apparent coldness toward Joe. Curry revisits his theory that the man appearing as Biden may not be the actual president, citing a grandchild's hesitant reaction.

debbie dingell· joe biden· jill biden· air force one· hope· michigan

2:42:45 You know, we're feeling it here in this arena, but it's spreading all across this country we love. The spirit of Joe! A familiar feeling that's been buried too deep for far too long. You know what I'm talking about. Michigan. It's the contagious power of hope. All right, come on in, Kristen. It's fascinating because it's almost as if she and former President Obama were trying to impose the hope and change message a little bit. You think? To give it, if you will, to Vice President Kamala Harris. Did you see it that way? And also notable, obviously, she didn't mention President Biden.

2:43:31 I love President Biden and we all need to he was a great president but now we are looking to the future and we're not gonna go back. He was a great president? Is he no longer president? That's a good catch. He was a great president. Right now he's in Napa Valley drinking wine with his wife in 747 which I assume landed at Travis Air Force Base but it didn't land in San Francisco. Somebody, daddy long legs, somebody. Mm-hmm. Well, do you remember that they showed this on a lot of the Fox shows and they were just mocking, mocking Biden?

2:44:13 For being a doofus, but it was like he was this is I think after the convention when they jumped on the plane to get out of town Even though they went on the low ramp not the big one. Mm-hmm into the hold basically I don't know how they get him. I guess I put him in the elevator There's an elevator in the 747 just drop me and they put him in there and up up you go up at the level so So Jill's gonna go on the plane and instead of following Joe, she comes up and Joe is standing there. Yeah. And she doesn't acknowledge him or anything. She just starts going up to him, though it's not even Joe. No, it isn't. Hello? That's what I'm having to conclude, but everyone was mocking...

2:44:55 mocking it at least Fox would do it the thought that their their take was the following oh look she's so mad because she's not gonna be the first lady anymore and won't get the free jet rides and she's mad at Joe but I'm thinking maybe it wasn't Joe at all Joe may be holed up in Washington for all we know. Listen the the key the clue was the grandkid. Why do you want me to hold his hand? That's not grandpa. Who's that dude? I didn't catch that, but if that happened, that's a pretty big giveaway. Let's talk about our food for a moment. It's about to get even better. No more fresh chicken for you! Or job losses in the meat processing industry. Tyson Foods announcing job cuts at its chicken processing complex in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. In a statement to Agday, a Tyson Foods spokesperson says due to increasing demand, it is shifting production from the facility to support its fully cooked products.

CHAPTER 42 / 47 Discussion

Tyson Foods Job Cuts, Automated Chicken Processing

Tyson Foods announced 500 job cuts in North Carolina as it shifts to "fully cooked" products. John C. Dvorak shares an anecdote from Poland and the Netherlands about highly automated chicken processing systems that require almost no human labor, suggesting this technology is now being implemented by Tyson.

tyson foods· chicken· automation· north carolina· poland· barneveld

2:45:52 It says as a result, fewer positions will be required at that facility. However, it did not say how many positions would be cut. The Wilkes Journal Patriot newspaper reporting over the weekend, one local official told them nearly 500 jobs would be impacted. The changes specifically involve converting the fresh plant in Wilkes-Barre into a bulk processing facility. That means chicken will be processed to a stage where it is ready to be sent to other Tyson facilities for further processing and packaging. Now, Tyson says its priority is to assist affected employees by offering them other opportunities within the company.

2:46:29 So more fully cooked chicken is what they're gonna do. Wait a minute, how is that cut jobs? It seems to me you process the chicken then you go through the trouble of cooking it. That would add jobs it seems to me. That's an extra step. What do you mean? What am I missing here? They just, so they cut the chicken, dump it into seed oil, cook it and then package it. You don't need half the people who are doing all the important work. Why would you not need half the people? Because it's just automatic. I subscribe to Food Machine Magazine. You should see that thing. The stuff that these machines that they have for packaging food is disgusting and creepy. I will say this. So I'm in Poland. Here we go. Oh, neck in the woods. This is when you almost got killed. No, no. This is when I was floating around with Jan Eelman. We're touring the whole country basically. And that took three minutes.

2:47:27 It was about four days. With all the best restaurants, it was a good tour. But one of the things he mentioned, because there's this truck goes by, this chicken truck, and he says that because we don't... His comment was the following, because we don't have Mexican labor or cheap labor, to process the chickens like they do in Tyson and elsewhere, that the Dutch have developed a manufacturing system, all machines, that can process chickens like nobody else, and it's like a thriving industry with no people working there. I think that... That's your answer.

2:48:08 I think that may be at play here. Yeah, you were probably in Barneveld. Were you in Barneveld? Does that sound familiar? I bet you probably. Because that's whatever the case was, there's a lot of chicken, chicken, giant chickens, trucks would fill with chickens. And so yes, he said the chicken processing there was all automated. We got breaking news, breaking from AP. So you know it's the truth. I've been waiting for this one, been waiting almost 17 years. U.S. government report says fluoride at twice the recommended limit is linked to lower IQ in kids. Yep. There you go. Told you. And that's why that the ticket tip of the day from a few weeks back when I had the water filter that particular filter

CHAPTER 43 / 47 Discussion

Fluoride IQ Study, Neil deGrasse Tyson Gender Comments

The hosts discuss a new U.S. government report linking high fluoride levels to lower IQ in children. They also mock astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson for a clip where he claims gender is a choice made each morning regardless of chromosomes, with Dvorak questioning the "man of science" label.

fluoride· iq· neil degrasse tyson· gender· science· chromosomes

2:48:58 Takes fluoride out of the water. What was that filter again? It was the total filters I think something like that Oh, yeah, we have to put a little web page together or a small booklet of the tips once we get to a cow Yes a giblet But giblet. Hey, we can run it through the publishing company. Yeah, we're gonna need to. You want to mention I want to play I got one eyes a funny one. It's a funny. I got a funny short one, so I'll wait for you No, I'm good. I think I can push these off because they're kind of evergreens This is Neil deGrasse Tyson who now always a winner. Yeah, always a winner And you know some would say he's a man of science. I would say I mean he's a astrologist but

2:49:53 He's a man of science. He's an astronomer, not an astrologist. That was funny. That was funnier than I meant it to be. Well maybe he is an astrologist. Tell me what's going to happen. Is Mercury in retrograde? No, but he weighs in on, you know, we've had a lot of controversy over men and women's sports. And even the... is it Algerian? I want to say Algerian boxer? Who, um... Who beat all the women up? Yeah. And, you know, says that, you know, they did a test and... He had an XY chromosome. XY chromosome, yeah. So Neil deGrasse Tyson sets us straight, sets the record straight. That has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. The XXXY chromosomes are insufficient.

2:50:48 Because when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice. Suppose no matter my chromosomes, today I feel 80% female, 20% male. I'm gonna put on makeup. Tomorrow I might feel 80% male. I'll remove the makeup and I'll wear a muscle shirt. What kind of dirt do they have on this guy? What is the deal with that? I mean I heard that clip and I was I was gonna actually clip that but I had to find a Short version of the song. I feel pretty which I was going to put at the end of the clip. I feel pretty nice if it's from West Side Story, I think so. Yeah, so so the

We always like to determine the end of show ISOs around this time in the program I'll go first since they only have two and you have three. Here's my first one. Hot pockets, whatever they are. I'd never heard that one from Julia Childs It's not really great. Wow, that's a weird clip. What? 2 to 2! 2 to 2! 2 to 2! 2 to 2! Here's my... This I think is a contender. I don't respect boomers.

I don't like him saying that. This is... So somebody sort of sent a note in. One of the... I didn't mention this, but I realized as soon as they put that note in, they were thanking us for taking over from Mind... Space from Rush Limbaugh. Yes, I saw that Okay. J.D. Vance looks like Rush Limbaugh. No, no, not J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance? You take a look at J.D. Vance and think what Rush Limbaugh looked like. No, I think that Tim Walz looks like Rush Limbaugh. No, no, Tim Walz looks like Bugs Bunny. He's got the big jaw. No. J.D. Vance, take a look at him. He's got the small... He looks just like Rush. If you start looking...

3:14:27 When you see JD Vance, think of Rush Limbaugh and you're gonna see it. Well, according to Neil deGrasse Tyson, he can wake up in the morning and say, I put on some makeup. Yeah, well that's what your theory is anyway. I feel like Rush Limbaugh, okay. Okay, let's try job. It's a job, well done. Yeah, possibility. Possibility. How about cool? It's actually really cool. It's great! Oh, please that was a good one. It's a job well done. I like that one better. Okay use that. I'm gonna, if you don't mind I'm gonna use that. Hey everybody it's the end of the show that means it's time for a tip of the day not one but two! Great advice for you and me, just a tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam.

3:15:13 All right, do you want to go first? Sure. What you got? So I've got a device and people normally can get these things for pressure washers if you have a pressure washing and buy these these foaming devices you put them on the end of the pressure washer and it's got a big container below and it shoots foam on your car and cleans your car but there is a low-pressure version that goes with a regular garden hose. Oh okay. Okay, and from a company called foam King Yes home king and you can get it I think it's foam king dot shop foam king dot shop and is probably available on Amazon

3:15:56 And Foam King has a, their one device is the King of Suds, they call it. It's a nozzle that also- The King of Suds. The King of Suds. The nozzle hooks right to this device that's got the foamer on it and the bottle of juice. And it works like a champ. Yesterday we were testing it out, Jay and I both, it was actually Wednesday, yeah yesterday, we washed our cars with it. Works like a champ. It's called the Foam King, FoamKing.shop and get the King of Suds. It's really a nice product. And then you just unhook

3:16:39 It's got a little one of these kind of a click on hook connections. You unclick it and you got a regular nozzle and you can just wash off the foam and or you know if you need to rub it down you can do that too. Okay well I'm always in need of high pressure stuff here. Well you can also buy a pressure washer with one of these devices and that'll kick ass. No, no, I want the cheap jack stuff, come on. It's cheaper. What was it called again? The King of Suds? What was it called? The King of Suds. Foam King. It's FoamKing.shop. So we received an Amazon package yesterday, and I think there may be one in your PO box as well. And we couldn't figure it out. And we're looking at this box like, who ordered this? And it's a box of ro- it's in German. Oh, hold on. Let me get it. It's a box of roller blade bureau stule rollen! In French, roulette rollé pour chaise de bureau.

3:17:42 And we couldn't figure out what is this? And then all of a sudden I remembered a note from the Baron of Old Bay. He says, I'm sending a product tip to you via Amazon. Try it out if you think it's a tip worth spreading the word. I don't own this company. I'm just a happy customer to improve my work from home life. So this is a, it has five roller blade wheels in it. but you don't attach them to your roller blades, you replace your office chair wheels with these. Mmm, and it's it's fantastic Cuz you know rollerblade wheels that's a whole different level of wheel compared to what you the crappy things you get on your on your wheels Yes, yes, he says they're like 10 or 20 bucks on Amazon. I have to say I was blown away by this tip of the day Thank you very much the Baron of Old Bay world's gone mad, but don't you worry? It's time for tip of the day with curry
