About this episode

Pavel Durov, the billionaire founder of Telegram, was detained at Le Bourget airport by French authorities on allegations of inadequate platform moderation. This high-profile arrest of a major tech executive draws immediate comparisons to the historical legal targeting of Julian Assange and Phil Zimmermann. The move is analyzed as a potential intelligence operation designed to drive users toward specific encrypted channels while Western agencies seek back-door access to the platform's data.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially suspended his independent presidential campaign to endorse Donald Trump in Phoenix, citing the Democratic National Convention's legal maneuvers and the systemic poisoning of the American food supply. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination at the DNC, where she claimed Trump intends to deploy the military against domestic citizens. Pro-Palestinian delegates staged floor protests during the event, while satirical performer Lionel McGloin infiltrated the convention as a flamboyant supporter to mock party leadership. In international news, a Syrian asylum seeker confessed to a fatal knife attack at a diversity festival in Solingen, Germany, and Israel launched preemptive strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Nancy Pelosi described her political strategy as reptilian during a PBS interview with Judy Woodruff, sparking viral commentary on her physical demeanor. Comedian Lionel McGloin successfully pranked Jerry Nadler and Ed Markey by using Gen Z slang and extreme policy questions. The broadcast concludes with a technical tip on using enzyme-based detergents for organic stains and a satirical climate chant regarding vasectomies.

John Tesh, Yanni, and PBS Fundraising Concerts

A discussion regarding the career of musician and former Entertainment Tonight host John Tesh covers his marriage to Connie Sellecca and his history of PBS fundraising specials. The conversation touches on Tesh's association with New Age musician Yanni and the repetitive nature of public broadcasting pledge drives.

00:00 She was a dipshit. Isn't he hanging out on an island with Kenny G?

00:39 John Tesh sold a lot of records I'll have you know. Did he now? Yeah, well he was always on PBS. The reason I bring this up because the PBS keeps showing these different rock concerts... Does anyone even know who John Tesh is? Isn't that kind of pathetic if you sold as many records as you say and nobody knows who he is anymore? Well but he was most known for his stint, as we'd say, stint on Entertainment Tonight! Yeah, he was the guy. Go-to guy. He was the guy with uh what was her name? What was her name? Yeah, see? Nancy Cordes.

No! Barbra Streisand is married to this actor Alright who is John Tesh married too? I don't know Connie Selica

01:41 Oh. Yeah, she's no slouch. And you knew this off the top of your head I want to point that out by the way Of course! This is me. This is why there are two of us Someone has got to have all the good stuff Well he was used to do all these concerts for the PBS broadcasting system And that's what reminded me because I was watching one of these things so they keep interrupting it that big for money Why were you wait, so you were watching it and you are actually annoyed. They interrupted John Tesh concert Is that what I'm no? No they haven't shown a John Tesh concert for a decade or more It's just they interrupt all the concerts and then they...

Yeah okay well He was a piano player I would say more synth A synth guy he was new age So synth Synth Synth

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Arrested in France

Pavel Durov, the billionaire founder of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, was detained at Le Bourget airport outside Paris by French authorities. The arrest reportedly stems from allegations of inadequate moderation on the platform, which officials claim facilitates criminal activity. The situation is compared to historical government actions against PGP creator Phil Zimmermann and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

02:45 All right, before we get into the obvious that we must talk about since... Bobby the Op. The op! Before we get into Bobby the Op, we need to go to the next op Now the billionaire founder of encrypted messaging app Telegram has been arrested in France Pavel Durov was reportedly detained after his private jet landed at the Borget airport outside Paris Telegram is one of the most downloaded apps in the world and it's particularly popular in Russia but its focus on privacy has raised questions about its use by criminals. So let's find a little bit more about this, Molly Malone is here with me Hi Molly! So what do we know about this? Just a bit about who he is because his not exactly a household name He's Russian born gained French citizenship a few years ago but he's really famed for founding this encrypted private messaging app

03:36 telegram and suggestions in French local media this morning that the arrest and potential investigation relates to this app for its potential lack of moderation and potential criminal activity. It's actually not potentially as well known here as it is across the globe, it's one of the most downloaded apps after likes of Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook with upwards of 950 million users. It's an encrypted private messaging app that is effectively protecting data from being intercepted with as you said a big focus on privacy it's been in recent years popular in Russia and Ukraine it was actually banned back in 2018 in Russia because its refusal to release data

04:22 Night door. So first of all, before you continue... I have no clips on this. I'm actually stunned but i'm not disappointed just stunned that you brought this into the uh... What do you mean stunned? Are you surprised that I brought this? Yeah I am kind because it wasn't something I was thinking about he's another guy. This has been going on and this is a long standing let's start if we want to go to the beginning, yeah. We have to remember when Phil Zimmerman they went after him PGP I don't know 30 years ago for PGP was thirty years ago? Yeah sure and they tried to get arrest the guy in Toronto because it governments these fascist governments that are running the world do not like the idea that people can whisper to each other which is what this amounts to This is... They would love it so if I whispered into somebody's ear

05:16 They could record it and keep it to use against me if possible, but they can't seem to get that point yet. And now it turns out that Kim Dotcom...they're really going after him—he's been complaining a little bit on Twitter—to grab him somehow he's not even an American citizen but do the same thing as he did with Assange and arrest him for violating American laws. Okay, well let's not get distracted yet from Pavel. No I just want a backgrounder Yeah Well and i think that is the general consensus A couple of things One every report says he was arrested at Bourget airport It's Le Bourget Airport It's very annoying to hear this I don't know why they're not... it'd be like Kennedy Airport Is John F. Kennedy Airport? Le Bourget

Geopolitical Implications, Telegram and WhatsApp Security Claims

The arrest of Pavel Durov is analyzed as a potential marketing or intelligence operation to drive users toward Telegram and away from X (formerly Twitter). Speculation arises that Western intelligence agencies may prefer Telegram's structure for organizing color revolutions while maintaining back-door access. The discussion contrasts Telegram's security reputation with WhatsApp's dominance in the European market.

pavel durov· rumble· chris pavlovski· elon musk· x· whatsapp· victoria nuland· encryption

06:07 The Rumble CEO jumps on the train by posting on X. Wait a minute, why doesn't he just post on Rumble? Chris Pavlovsky... I've just safely departed from Europe France has threatened rumble now they have crossed the red line by arresting telegram CEO Pavel Durov reportedly for not censoring speech. Rumble will not stand for this behavior! We'll use every legal means, blah blah blah. Okay so he's jumping on the train and that is the general response from people and of course what we've heard as far as I know there is no actual official announcement but he was being...I think it was

06:53 Reuters says he's being charged with terrorism, narcotic supply fraud money laundering receiving stolen goods Pornography with minors because he didn't moderate. He doesn't have poor moderation tools So first are you do use telegram at all? As a matter of fact no No And I use it because, and I detest it. I really don't like Telegram. Yes you said this before years ago in the show. Yes, so I find a cumbersome... Now many dudes named Ben swear by it of course because of its apparent security. I presume it's secure that you have end-to-end encryption. Not really even checked it. You can report people and block people

07:47 So there's some kind of moderating going on somewhere, I guess. But it's tedious, you know. So people have these channels and often unless you have the settings set properly, you are auto joined to a channel all of your sudden in some Bitcoin thing and I'd say most of the Bitcoin people who aren't also on Nostr or on Telegram. I see this a little differently though. I think that this move coming right now I mean, he's a billionaire. He didn't make it off of Telegram because as far as I know no one paid does anyone pay for Telegram? Is there any business model there for payment or you're asking the wrong guy? Well, I'm asking in general maybe The Troll Room knows that I don't think that there's

08:35 a payment necessary. He did have a payment cryptocurrency which went to basically zero upon this news, surprise surprise! So there was some kind of... although that's not even mentioned in any of the allegations that I heard of But I think this is something different. Telegram is used extensively by, I would say by our United States operatives to stir up stuff How many times have we heard oh this particular revolution, this color revolution was started on telegram and that some sketchy guys in Germany on telegram?

09:23 That this is more marketing than anything? It wouldn't surprise me if Pavel is let off quite soon. He'll be sent on his merry way. That's actually the first thing I thought of. Oh good, well you didn't say it so...I get dibs! That's fine, I don't care But it seems to me, and I'd say that because of your attitude toward it which is that you've always been skeptical of its true safety. And it seems to me that if the thing is really full of holes and actually has back doors arrest the guy and make it sound as though there's nothing wrong with this

09:59 secret thing if you want to do secret communications, please use this. Don't use anything else! I'm saying something different though...I'm not questioning its encryption and its privacy. I think that it's what the intelligence communities and the State Department and the people who make trouble around the world Victoria Nuland, I think they're annoyed by X And they really want to control things by starting stuff. And when it comes from Telegram, oh this is a secure app? This guy's gotta be for real! To me it feels more like everybody use Telegram don't use X and I think Elon actually didn't he promise that we'd get secured DMing never saw that happen. I don't remember him promising that. Yeah there was an end-to-end encryption promise somewhere

10:53 But no, to me this is more like everybody you've got to please use Telegram. It's secure see we got this guy because it can't be moderated everybody use that don't use X where Elon controls... Because there are no algorithms in Telegram its just chat channels or direct messaging To me, it feels like this is something else that's going on and it's marketing for people who like to stir up crap in countries and would prefer people to use something that although they don't control directly they can control

11:30 the perception that it's real when they, I take it to the next level which is they do control it directly. Well then monitoring it. That's what happened with WhatsApp and in WhatsApp had that promise remember one more WhatsApp was cool and you paid $1 a year and they had millions like 100 million people using it? And he's- I remember that again was another non user Yeah I'm too busy to hold up. Well, you cannot communicate with Europeans almost without using WhatsApp Everybody uses WhatsApp in Europe And I certainly don't trust WhatsApp. I could send him a DM, I could make a call on the phone... Yeah yeah... I can communicate with Europeans without using WhatsApp! You're being a technical person now? Of course you can but Europeans prefer WhatsApp over SMS text messaging and anything else

12:25 They prefer it. It's where the family have groups and it's bigger than iMessage, and also of course because iMessage is not as prevalent in Europe people are poor there the poor saps can't afford an iPhone so they're all on Android cheap Android So anyway I'm suspicious of this action very suspicious of it And will you should be. Yes, I know you're not bumping the mic but something is booming. I don't know what that could be. Okay well then it's fine all right we kind of knew this was happening on Thursday and we were just waiting for the announcement it happened on cue

CHAPTER 04 / 43 Discussion

Kamala Harris DNC Speech, Trump Attacks and IVF Claims

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, focusing heavily on the potential consequences of a second Donald Trump presidency. Harris claimed Trump has "explicit intent" to jail journalists and deploy the military against citizens. The segment also addresses DNC claims regarding Republican threats to IVF and miscarriages, which are characterized as blatant lies.

kamala harris· democratic national convention· donald trump· project 2025· ivf· michelle obama· supreme court

13:13 Yeah, exactly as we said yes. Well it wasn't like was a big secret Do you before we go to Bobby the op do you want to finish up the DNC and and the final evening of? joy or actually non-joy Because both of us were wrong on our predictions there was not a single cackle let alone three no No There Was One It was a ca. It wasn't a cackle, it was a ca-ca. It wasn't a full cackle. It was enough of a cackle that I think it would count if you were taking bets Well... You said no cackles and I said three so neither of us win there No, I said the over and under is 2.5 Okay, you win But there was no...I know Donald Trump! I know his type She didn't pull that one out now did she?

14:04 That was, well you and I both agreed that she would. Yeah of course! In fact you made a big stink about it, oh that's not much of a bet Is that how i said? So we were both flawed in our thinking Uncanny how you nail my voice It was spot on And I know I can do it, so I try to avoid it but I can't I do have the clip of what she did say about Trump its about a minute and half One of the, what was the count? It's like hundreds of times during this convention they talked about Trump which is kind of interesting. Here's a... I'm sorry? Interesting it was interesting No no I don't know what you're getting at are asking me a question. No it wasn't asking you a question Oh

14:52 Here is what the vice presidential, Vice President of Presidential Nominees said about former president Trump. Ha! But the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol. There was a lot of lying going on. The amount of lying is unbelievable. Well, unfortunately it works you know it works people hear these things over and over again and they're certain that's true His explicit intent to jail journalists

15:45 No. He's kind of jailing him. His explicit... I don't think i've heard that Have you heard Trump say? Well, it was an explicit intent Oh okay Intent to jail journalists political opponents and anyone he sees as the enemy It is explicit! Intent Why do you think she's using the term explicit intent? It reminds me of uh I don't know if i have this clip, but of the guy who ran into a woman. Oh no, I don't have it. This is kind of a redneck character talking about how he ran into a woman who claims she saw Donald Trump. It was a veteran! Yeah, the veteran says they saw Trump say... watched him say

16:39 losers and suckers, which is a classic hoax. And he said well... He looked into it of course because he didn't know better to know it was bullcrap but there is no video of this but she saw it and so I think the idea is to drum into people's brains that explicit intent means he said Try to visualize him saying it and you will eventually imagine he actually is saying it on the podium because he says a lot so good. Yes, I understand that but the term explicit intent It's notable, I'm not sure. There must be... We need Scott Adams the professional hypnotist to tell us why she is using that. Actually in this case Scott might have an answer. Yes there is some persuasive mechanism to it To deploy our active duty military against our own citizens!

17:36 Yeah, they're gonna come and start shooting people. There's a I think there is it? I don't know if you've been against that that's not actually legal. I don't know what doesn't matter he's gonna be doing day one. Do it He's gonna do it. You want to say something else? I was did no just play these out because there's one in this group Well actually before you even continue this I would I want to play what something well Okay now this so it just fits right in all right I want you to, let's see is that a DN? I want you to play DNC Kamala too because it what you're playing and early in the speech she says the following this is Kamala to respect. They instilled in us the values they personified community faith

18:27 and the importance of treating others as you would want to be treated with kindness, respect and compassion. Okay so she's been drummed into her to treat others the way she'd like to be treated with kindness and passion...and all the rest of it And meanwhile your playing these clips This is an example? Of treating others by lying about them?! I guess so! Consider! Consider The power he will have, especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution. But you will have the same power Ms Harris It wasn't just for him it was for all presidents and it wasn't really what your saying is but... Not at all Okay that sounds scary

19:25 Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails. And how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States, not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national security but to serve the only client he has ever had, himself. Yeah, it was great. That was good. So you didn't get what I was hoping for? Oh what were you hoping for the one where she goes this is part of her litany She says he's going to set up a commission to track abortions and every miscarriage and see what would he's gonna track all the miscarriages in them crack down on abortions It's also IVF thing is just astounding

20:27 That there is... this is not a talking point, it's not in Project 2025. There was one Alabama guy Supreme Court Justice in Alabama who said well you know we've got to treat these embryos as children And if anything has been successful is that, it's the IVF thing. It's really odd all the way up to Michelle Obama admitting for the first time in history as far as I know that she... well you had the clip... That one of her children maybe both were born through IVF this is new this is groundbreaking! This is breaking!!

21:16 I never knew that. And Trump has gone on and said that he's gonna protect IVF as much as he can, everything she says is a blatant lie. Pretty much! And it's like...and everyone is eating it up so Not everyone John, I would just say Dimension B is eating it up It's their rocket fuel They're fired up So I have more than a couple of clips here. Can I just give an overall impression of Harris and Waltz after having watched the Thursday evening festivities? Yeah, sure! They are just like American food processed... Oh here we go! ...filled with soy and sugar and marketed with rainbow colors that's what they are

DNC Floor Protests, Palestinian Delegates and Gaza Conflict

Pro-Palestinian delegates staged protests on the floor of the Democratic National Convention, which were largely obscured by other attendees holding "Thank You Joe" signs. The Uncommitted Movement expressed frustration over being denied a primetime speaking slot for a Palestinian American. Outside the venue, thousands marched to demand an arms embargo on Israel.

amy goodman· democracy now· gaza· palestinian· dnc· delegates against genocide· uncommitted movement

22:08 And people want it. People eat that, they like it. Mmm yummy! It's good. Soy sugar... mmm pretty colors So it makes sense that there is a large portion of the population that is all in on it Well, that brings me to some funny clips. But before we get to that I do want to play this because this was on Democracy Now! and you can put the warning up. Oh okay yes Amy Trigger Warning Yes So this is a clip as DNC covered-up protests there was actually This was not reported by the mainstream media. Amy picked it up and they had a video of it because she happened to be sitting in the audience near it, and I was actually kind of surprised by the way it was all coordinated. I guess everyone was clued in on how to cover up any sort of protest that took place on the convention floor. Play this. Warning Amy Goodman clip inbound. A few minutes into President Biden's remarks

23:10 Three delegates, part of Delegates Against Genocide, dropped a banner that read, Stop Arming Israel. We were inside the convention floor right next to the Florida delegation, where it happened. While some delegates snatched the banner away, many others of the Florida delegation quickly raised Joe Biden placards that said, Thank you, Joe! And we love Joe!, to block any view of the banner. The protesting delegates who dropped the banner were quickly escorted from the convention floor by security— Straight to the vasectomy mobile took care of them. Well, I do have one protest clip from outside

23:53 And they've taken a new bent on the alliteration of any name, like cackling Kamala. They've got a better one. Thousands march through the streets of Chicago home to one of the largest Palestinian communities in the United States It's the final night at the Democratic National Convention Throughout the week these protests have made it clear which issue most divides the party The only way I'm voting for her is if she calls for an arms embargo on Israel. Those hoping for an end to military support for Israel, however won't be won over by Kamala Harris' speech as she accepted her party's nomination from presidents. Always ensure that Israel has the ability

24:43 Around a dozen delegates to the convention remain sat outside until the final hours. They represent the Uncommitted Movement, a pro-Palestinian campaign which during the primaries mobilized hundreds of thousands of voters to withhold their support for President Joe Biden They'd push for a primetime speaking slot for a Palestinian to address the bloodshed in Gaza. But in the end, mention of it within the convention hall was limited. Gaza is watching and seeing that this party that we hold dear to our hearts so we know holds human rights dear is not even letting my Palestinian siblings speak. Vice President Harris did again call for a ceasefire if that's not achieved soon one party donor is reportedly worried that protests could again erupt at universities as they reopen for the new term. They're not done yet? Okay, you won't let us do it at the DNC and they didn't even have a Palestinian American on stage even Jon Stewart made note of that which I thought was interesting

CHAPTER 06 / 43 Discussion

Lionel McGloin, Satirical "Brat" Character at the DNC

Comedian Lionel McGloin infiltrated the Democratic National Convention posing as a flamboyant "Brat" supporter, conducting satirical interviews with high-profile Democrats. Figures including Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Ed Markey were filmed interacting with the character, who used Gen Z slang and extreme policy questions to highlight political absurdity. The segment notes that McGloin previously performed a similar satirical stunt at the Republican National Convention.

lionel mcgloin· dnc· brat· jerry nadler· letitia james· ed markey· harry sisson· satire

25:46 They're not gonna do that. No, well of course not I mean the um what i found disappointing is you know there were a couple of funny people who were doing funny stuff inside ala Alex Stein 99 obviously he wasn't there I think at this point he's even in costume he's too recognizable Alex Stringer who is the pedicab guy from Austin, who I voted for in the mayoral race years back because he wanted to put a dome over Austin and give flamethrowers to teachers. Which i thought was an outstanding platform He was in there doing a bit that was so good or at least so convincing to whoever he was doing that too. It's the BBC

26:33 Oh, the BBC. Yeah British Broadcasting Suckers But we had... suckers you spell with an s and not a c We had our own people saying look at this! Look at this leftist cuck! Like yes You don't see this? It was so obvious. And then the... Especially this stuff about the black lover, his wife's black lover teaching him about civil rights or something. It was ludicrous! Then the comedian I don't know if he's gay or not but he was certainly acting very feminine. I have clips from him Oh okay what's his name? This is a guy his name is Lionel McGloin People also took him seriously they didn't realize that that was a gag

27:15 It was a gag. Not only that, but somebody put a clip on Twitter where he did the same thing at the Republican National Convention... The guy's a comic so he plays characters and then in the Republican convention I don't have any of those clips because they're not very funny because the Republicans weren't buying it And the guy was in there he had a big giant hat on and he had Texas action, he talked like this. Oh good! He tried to convince everyone that Texas is a big house for Jesus or something. But they were just not buying it and there was nothing they got out of it. It's funny but so he goes to the Democrat convention

27:55 Acts unbelievably gay to the point where I don't know is this guy really gay it might be even gay guys like I Don't know man. He ran into one gay guy who's always gonna want to date him and so I have like five You really went for it, okay good good good good 1 2 3 yeah There's 5 or 6 very short clips But he went but he got he got gold when he was there a night the thing was linked in the newsletter. If you have the news, you can just go to the long version of this bit. It went on for 20 minutes. You put it in the newsletter? It was good! So I want to play just a few of these things just to show what was going on and the Democrats fell for it and I think that we're...and I was thinking about why

28:43 The guy was so gay. They're afraid to say anything! They were afraid to say anything and they figured he's got to be a Democrat. Although we know that there are a lot of gay Republicans... There are probably as many as there are Democrats, but they're less... This guy acted like a flamer which is an old term. Yes I'm well familiar with it. So for example this is good example He goes up He ran into Kellyanne Conway. What happened? Kellyanne Conway, is this a new mask or did she have some unbelievable work done? She had some work done let's face it. Not some!

29:27 Dude, they kind of she looks 20 years younger those pointy features have been shaved down and something happened Yeah Something happened so he went up to her and he was giving her as she was. She was pretty affable She wasn't like making a fool of herself Like when I'm gonna go from the top here This is he goes and sits down with Nadler fat Nadlar Jerry Nadler from New York this only like this 11 seconds but but But this was the theme of what he was accomplishing by playing this character and going up to various Democrats, and they were buying it like there was no tomorrow. And this little clip is actually disgusting! This year it'd be so brat have a higher tax rate for rich white men

30:13 Well if we have a Democratic Congress, we certainly will. Yeah baby! Tax those rich old whiteys come on He was all over the brat wasn't he? Everything was brat. The whole thing was brats. Yes, he did the brat thing to an extreme And that's why he called these clips brat. He goes up to Letitia James, the prosecutor in New York and then this happens. Are you worried Donald Trump is going to weaponize the justice system if he gets in power? I'm concerned about Project 2025 And it's important that individuals understand that Project 2025 basically consolidates power in the hands of one dangerous man. And so it's really critically important... You're prosecuting his political enemies? Exactly! Guys, I have to say you are even more beautiful in person Oh, I love him! I love you thank you so much! That is fantastic That is so good

31:15 And the lie that Project 2025 consolidates, no it doesn't consolidate anything. In the hands of one evil dictator? Here's a prosecutor who should know her documents did not read it. It's a flowery policy pile of Well, I think your point about Project 2025 being written by AI needs to be taken into account when anyone talks about it. 30 pages of the intro is just about themselves—about how awesome each person is who contributed to it and then this whole thing...the rest of the 930 pages could have you know could be thirty pages itself but you run it through chat GPT like flowered up baby!

32:07 And that's what you get, paragraphs with run-on sentences. Just hundreds of words! You should look at it just for yucks. You won't get past one chapter." So here he runs into some guy who is defending Walls as he goes after Walls... He makes a point that Walls is representing a body positive image This is good. And he says, it's always body positivity which means you know Waltz is just a fat guy and so we get this exchange We have woman of color and we also have Tim Waltz what a great example for the body positive community What do you think Tim Waltz can be as inspiration for body positive people? A young man came to him and said we want to have a gay

33:04 club here at our high school and he said I'm gonna lead that because i need to be... He's like a gay leader. Hey this guy what's his name again the comedian? McGloin, a Mc... Lionel McCloyne. I would say he could be a stringer for Gutfeld or maybe Waters should hire him and send him out on the streets you know he can clearly do multiple types of characters He's got a gig with this! It's definitely one of the most aggressive things i've seen

33:42 And he did it for probably hours. And he played this character, this ridiculous... He was doing all kinds of bits in between these small interviews. He runs into a random gay obviously a gay kid, cute little gay kid and this exchange takes place Why is Kamala so us? She's so us because she's brat. Kamala is brat. What does brat mean? Um, brat is like you're like a party girl but like You go out at really late at night and like you fall asleep with all your makeup on And I have to love Kamala being in a menage-a-trois at one point You know the thing is and this this is a huge weakness for

34:28 You know, this Dimench B collection of people. I'm not even going to call them Democrats This is a particular type of people who were just completely brainwashed MK-altered in a way Anybody can go up and act gay, and immediately they'll be... I mean you could do it. By the way that's a great idea! Gay Dvorak going in? Hey! Hey brat! You could do it! My gay is not that great. I overdo it. I sound like a 60s stereotype gay. Yeah, you should just talk about what's the big festival with the old fat dudes running around naked in San Francisco? What festival would they run around naked in San Francisco? Over in the Tenderloin! They all run around... They do?! Yes!!

35:20 Oh, you're talking about... no. I know what you're thinking of. You're thinking of the Folsom Street Fair Yes! Yes! Yeah! You could be one of those guys. Oh yeah, and by the way... Not all gay guys talk like this at all They do around here. Well, that's my case in point you could get in anywhere I can get interviews with tech leaders well most of them are gay so maybe there you go hello everybody now I do have to before we continue on this list if you go to VRAT V R A T I forgot it had two of these these are the ones that

36:01 I misspelled brat with a V. Yes So, I got Ed Markey of the senator from Massachusetts falling for it and they go back and forth and listen to this idiot Some Gen Z doubters of Kamala have noted her record persecuting people for weed. I'm a stoner. I use it for PTSD Do you think that era is so over? She's still over that? I think that even in period of the Biden-Harris administration, they have been working very hard in order to say no. What about like Coke and stuff? Excuse me? What about like Coke? In her I would have to look at it but... Decriminalize the drugs baby! Thank you sir. Coke for the boys. Oh man oh man these people are so stupid They're so stupid. Oh man they can't even answer..they're so afraid of offending

36:58 someone who just happens to be gay or flamboyant is what he is. He's flamboyant, yeah. Flamboyant, flamboyant They're so worried about being called out for something that they'll just...they go along with everything This is what I'm saying It's pathetic! I'm gonna start using this Hey Hey, if I want something from you. I'll just try it hey so here comes yeah That's gonna work Yeah So here's the in second rat clip which is the the cam this is where he runs into some Just a regular delegate and they go about how great Camilla's laugh is no Joy, joy. We love joy! How do we guarantee equity of joy? Equity of joy will flow forth from Kamala! It's just a given in part of her religion. People say vibes don't matter but we are manifesting our nation.

37:59 So these are the people that actually, these are delegates. These are people who determine who's running? Who's... Yes! This is great this is what democracy looks like yes and here I got two left and they're both again short This is a, here he is with the young... Now this an attractive woman.

Oh, talk who lives in DC! It's hard to find a cute Democrat

38:38 Wow. Democrats in DC are ugly? That's what she said! Wow... And then the final one... I'm just gonna stop and think about that for a second. Why? Democrats, if you think about it generally speaking are not the most attractive people Just think of Jamie Raskin as a typical Democrat Well they have dark souls some of them but okay That comes out in their face Yeah yeah yeah It's not healthy

39:33 No, it's obviously not healthy and this girl reflected in now This one this last clip is a kind of a two-parter because first he runs into Harry Sisson or whatever his name is the influencer creepy guy now and and sisson won't play along with the idea that He was gonna ask him a series of questions And you're supposed to respond yes Or no Queen Now I don't know if this is some sort of a gay game or something but The idea is I ask you a question say yes Queen or no queen Sisson wouldn't play the game so he clips it right straight to this woman another attractive Delegate she's this girl's really pretty. So there are pretty Democrats just not in DC Not in DC, but this this girl was pretty But if she was she was a dipshit so with so the pretty Democrats are dumb shits and this girl

Charli XCX "Brat" Trend, Jules Lebron "Demure" Viral Meme

The "Brat Summer" marketing trend adopted by the Harris campaign is discussed alongside the emerging "very demure, very mindful" TikTok trend started by Jules Lebron. The conversation suggests that political campaigns risk appearing out of touch by latching onto fleeting internet subcultures that may already be declining in popularity.

charli xcx· brat summer· jules lebron· demure· mindful· tiktok· memes

41:04 Wow. I'm going to do that with you. I'm just gonna say yes, Queen. Whenever whenever I really disagree with you and it's gonna throw out a yas queen there is there is however The Curry Dvorak consulting group was not contracted nor consulted for the Democrat Party this year And they've made a rookie mistake where they have of course hooked their wagon to the Bratz summer Which is why this guy did all the brat stuff

41:58 Now, we could have told them that it's very risky to attach your campaign. And as we know the Harris HQ X account has taken on the Brat summer green everything is brat she's brad brat this brat that these trends are fleeting She's very. And I mentioned this in passing to Elise this morning, she still with us a couple more days like 10 more days before she goes back... Ten more days of good material! Yes, before she comes back to Brooklyn and she is a zoomer and because i'd seen the, not heard your clips but I had seen the word brat and said John's all-in on Bratton she says oh doesn't he know that Bratt is over? I'm like Oh?! He says oh yes it's demure autumn

42:46 No, we did that. We had the clip about demure autumn well it's gone a little further than your clip let's not forget to be demure divas you guys already know how I come to work always very demure very mindful sort of like tiktoker Jules LeBron who recently sparked the terms demure and mindful to have a viral bout of usage across TikTok very demure very mindful very demure very mindful very demure very mindful in early August 2024 Jules posted several videos about how she presents herself when going to work, describing her look as…

43:35 earliest video using the phrase garnered over 10 million views in a week. And she continued to post videos using her keywords demure, mindful respectful and cutesy often explaining how to achieve these qualities. Tik Tokkers quickly took notice and started using the terms in their own content like Tik Toker Hal Batty who posted several videos parodying Jules and overusing the term demur also to the tune of millions of views my heart is pure I'm so These words blew up online over the following days, even spreading to X as users continued employing them in their videos. Often ironically showcasing things that are not exactly demure like eating a messy sandwich. Meme-ers also took note of the virality creating

44:15 parodies and remixes of Jules' original videos, and lots of memes referencing the buzzwords. So you go to her and say that John is in on Brat when I didn't even know what it was. And they've never been in on it, let alone... No! I said John is all-in he has a whole bunch of bratwursts All-In? Is that what you said? All In?! I'm not ALL IN! Yes Queen I'm not all in, Queen. What i meant was you've had a lot of Brad clips No no! I had one Brad clip They're all labeled Brad that's all I saw Oh no this one yeah because this guy presented himself as Brad But look I don't listen to your clips so obviously it is Brad Brad Brad So I said yes queen All I saw was Brad Brad Brad so calm down

45:16 Were you not hurt as a child? So you assumed... No, I know! You're taking it out. Which makes an ass out of you and me. You are taking this too far. I just said John's all in with the brat clips. I didn't say you're all in on brats. Okay, you can dig yourself out of the hole later. I'll let ya slide. I'm just saying... Yes queen. She must think I'm... And you can stop that. I don't know if i can, it's too good! All right let me switch gears for a moment because we were talking just a minute ago about these are the people who are the delegates who choose who is going to run for the party We know that no one actually voted for Kamala Harris and it was amazing to hear your governor California Governor Newsom

CHAPTER 08 / 43 Discussion

Gavin Newsom, "Blitz Primary" and 2028 Ambitions

California Governor Gavin Newsom's media appearances are analyzed as subtle attempts to undermine Kamala Harris's presidential prospects to clear his own path for 2028. During an interview with Bret Baier and a podcast appearance on Pod Save America, Newsom joked about the "bottom-up" process that replaced Joe Biden with Harris.

gavin newsom· kamala harris· joe biden· pod save america· bret baier· fox news· 2028 election

46:08 With the pot hope you got to part again. I hope that's right. I tried to find this clip because I noted it down in the notepad. You were too busy clipping the brat guy? No, no, no...I was looking for it somehow and the problem was on YouTube video I wrote down it was Democrat 2024 something they had a label and so I go to look it up you couldn't find it on that search engine and there's like thousands of them Fox did did a very crappy job of labeling their... There's all kinds of stuff I couldn't find. Good stuff is disappearing very quickly, I had a couple of those myself anyway this is- Well you might have the clip I'm looking for. I hope so! I hope to. I'm trying to regain favor Yes Queen It's contagious

46:59 Pod Saves America, which is a very pro-Democrat Party podcast. It's very successful podcast has all bunch of Obama people on the podcast they are now also unionized that podcasts because they're from crooked media so you're trying to be funny we won't have to listen to him too long cuz he will go out of business and here there was governor Newsom yucking it up laughing about the blatant disregard for what they would call democracy and just switching Harris or switching Biden out for Harris. How are you feeling about the switch? I mean, now we went through a very open process, inclusive process. It was bottom up. You know that yes. Yes it was. The blitz primary is what they called it. Very fast blitz.

47:55 Oh, a 30 minute convention between tweets and other tweets. It's amazing how it happened. Yeah it has been amazing but what is amazing is how unified everybody is in this next level And even making fun of Schumer with the its bottom up its grassroots I mean that was like wow then they're just laughing about it they don't care And these idiots, these idiots. Well the clip I was looking for just to bring it back and for...and I'll just have to discuss this. Oh this wasn't the clip you were looking for? No the clip I was looking for he's being interviewed by Brett Baer. Hmm oh Fox for Pucks. The State of America and he loves going on Fox by the way Newsom does. He always makes some comment about being on Fox now I know all this is dangerous. Right! Enemy territory here. Yeah that's what he says too

48:48 And he said, well the last number of years have been disastrous and the camera's gonna bring us out of it. It is going to be a new way of going about...a new future, a new way forward and Brett calls him I said the last number year she was in office, she was vice president you're talking about the Biden administration? No, no. What I meant was and he'd make some sort of an excuse And I was thinking about this why needed the clip He did this on purpose and he did it on purpose on that show too. I think she is he is doing little bitty Snipes because he doesn't want Camila to win. He wants to be the nominee in 2028

49:32 If she wins, this is pushing it off to 2032. I cleaned up the whole state, swept the homeless under the carpet, got the Olympics coming... Yes! I agree. He's doing... A very sly one, that Newsom. He's slick But if you're looking for it you see it because he is transparent So the big mistake I feel and I'm not sure who launched the rumors or...I mean all the news channels were doing it but this was a huge disappointment! A super-sized letdown for The Beehive

CHAPTER 09 / 43 Discussion

Beyonce and Taylor Swift DNC Appearance Rumors

Widespread rumors of a surprise performance by Beyonce or Taylor Swift at the Democratic National Convention proved false, leading to significant disappointment among attendees and viewers. The segment explores whether the rumors were intentionally planted by the DNC to boost ratings or were the result of poor reporting by outlets like TMZ.

beyonce· taylor swift· dnc· tmz· harvey levin· megyn kelly· chicago

50:17 After rumors that a star like Beyonce would make a surprise appearance and perform at the Democratic National Convention would prove to be just that, a rumor. A gap in Thursday's program leading fans and convention goers to speculate about a surprise guest ahead of Harris' speech after an already star-studded convention that included surprise speaker Oprah Winfrey a night earlier. Stevie Wonder, Pink, the chicks there were lots of fantastic talent there but I know people were hoping for a few other famous faces to show up. The internet guessing everyone from Dolly Parton to former President George W Bush, another notable Republican Mitt Romney also named but the Utah Senator squashing that rumor eagle-eyed Swifties also noticing a gap in Taylor Swift's tour schedule but one of the most guest Beyonce

51:10 Whose freedom has become central to the Harris Walls campaign with the singer's blessing. Someone at the convention posting a clip of a Beyonce song, it sound check which was viewed more than 1 million times then adding fuel to the rumor fire publications like The Hill and TMZ seeming to confirm it. TMZ citing multiple sources saying we're told Chicago PD is on high alert as its involved in security for Beyonce at the United Center Arena So the way this played in, uh, in the controlled, uh, I don't want to say opportunists. Uh, the Megan Kellys, I'll say it. The Megan Kellies of the world? Oh! They just did this to juice the ratings, to juice the ratings. I don't think so.

51:57 These are just idiots. The mainstream has no inside track, they were the ones walking around like oh yeah look bud this curtain hasn't been here for the past three nights or something is coming up Oh we can hear some drum battalion rehearsing backstage it was all bullcrap and well and it raised some expectation I mean...I was let down I think it was done, more in line with Megan on this. I think that it was done on purpose It was done for the purposes of keeping people attentive Why didn't they just actually pay Beyonce to come out and do it?

52:40 Or anybody. I think it was done on purpose and the Taylor Swift thing in particular, and it was done on purpose to keep people's attention. I think they did a good job of that. It got if TMZ is suckered because Harvey Levin is a Democrat Trump hater so he's gladly go along with the program. I think he may have actually been part of this scheme but the thing that gets me I think this is emblematic and this is the, you say it was a mistake. I think was a huge fundamental mistake by the Democrat Party and the Harris campaign because this is unkept promise so everything she says is a lie. The promises she makes about tipping for example there's no way if she says oh yeah no tax on tips bullcrap

53:36 That is just a lie. She'll never implement it, and I think the Beyonce thing is symbolic of the Democrat lies and misdirection It's a huge blunder Yes, it's a blunder Do you think it could have been done on purpose? I totally think it was done on purpose But to submarine Harris Waltz Oh that's a meta look at it That's an interesting possibility. I mean, it was bad! It was bad because again...I still have the content machine here She was like no Bay is not gonna do that Queen Bee not coming and so she didn't watch with us You know? She said oh what Beyonce you think Beyonce is going on after Kamala? No, she's not good She's not coming as a huge Beyoncé fan And so she did not watch

54:37 She was not interested. He certainly wasn't interested in stink, so it was wrong I'm with you there unkept promise Very very bad and it felt more like sabotage to me. Oh, I'm not gonna argue against that thought yeah One very quick clip. But it could have also been just a big screw-up and part of him mentality of hoaxes. There you go I mean let's face it the hoaxes that were rolled out in all the speeches about Trump Yeah. It was just outrageous, everyone was doing it! We didn't really talk about it but even Biden bringing out the very fine people lie and his goodbye on the first night... Wow! Unbelievable! I thought this was a very funny part of the VP's speech?

Nancy Pelosi, "Reptilian" Comments and PBS Interview

Nancy Pelosi's recent comments describing herself and her political strategy as "reptilian" and "cold-blooded" are highlighted. The segment notes a perceived strange physical demeanor during her interview with PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff.

nancy pelosi· judy woodruff· pbs newshour· reptilian· cold-blooded

55:31 seniors facing elder abuse. She was good when I heard that like yes, I'm coming out I stand up for seniors against elder abuse you literally abused an elder for years! That's...I didn't catch that very funny. That IVF level stuff and did you see this Pelosi comments that everyone was sending me also very quick? short one where she's talking about being a lizard yes I didn't know what they were talking about we would we know our words different from the presidential we're very discreet reptilian these are the races we have to win so

56:17 A couple things, so as the Democrat party has always told me believe them when they tell you what you are. So I will believe that and she adds on to her very reptilian and cold-blooded and if you see what's your face sitting next to her who is the Democracy Now lady? Not Democracy now no not Democracy Now PBS News Hour lady Woodruff. Yes! She could barely keep her lizard tongue in her mouth. It was trying to come out, it was the freakiest thing. There's a fly there you know? Yeah but she is...she's a reptilian I got a supercut, I got a Joyce Wait before you do that i want play the last DNC clip cut that I have which is this is camel one this is when she opened the uh I wanted this is kind of an ask Adam

CHAPTER 11 / 43 Discussion

Kamala Harris, Childhood in Canada and Mayflower Trucks

A clip from Kamala Harris's DNC speech regarding her childhood moves to Wisconsin and Illinois is criticized for omitting her formative years spent in Montreal, Canada. Harris attended Westmount High School in Quebec from ages 13 to 15, a fact the hosts suggest she downplays to maintain a specific American narrative.

kamala harris· montreal· canada· westmount high school· quebec

57:16 You really want me to play the jingle? This is DNC Camilla 1. This is when she opened up her speech I want you to say tell me what's missing from this, what's missing from this picture Growing up we moved a lot. I will always remember that big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings ready to go to Illinois...to Wisconsin And wherever our parents' jobs took us. Yes, I'm missing Canada is what I'm missing Montreal Quebec I'm missing Canada! I don't know how long they were there but I was... Double years! ...I was missing Canada as well She was in high school from I think 13 to 15 Yeah

58:00 or she was there from when she was 13 to 15, it's about that long. And if you... I'm doing some research on this now and uh if you start- You have to find Canadian sources they loved her up there and old roommate or roommates schoolmates of hers say nobody in Canada knew that she wasn't Canadian! Did she say? She's such a chameleon she probably picked up the accent and everything. She went from black speak to A? Yeah, eh. That'll be funny. Oh yeah I like it here in Canada it's fabulous Eh? Eh? Eh Queen! Alright since you put a meme of it in the newsletter about daddy what's propaganda and you had all the joy letters circled that was good uh I got a super cut for us The one thing that I will not forgive them for is their trying to steal the joy from this country The Joy felt by Americans backing the Harris Walls ticket

CHAPTER 12 / 43 Discussion

"Joy" as a Political Campaign Strategy

The Democratic campaign's heavy use of the word "joy" is identified as a coordinated persuasion tactic similar to Barack Obama's "Hope and Change" slogan. The hosts suggest the term is being used to counteract negative perceptions of Kamala Harris's laugh and to appeal to specific voter demographics.

joy· kamala harris· tim walz· hope and change· persuasion· marketing

58:57 Downward Joyful Warriors. Being joyful is part of the American identity, the joy factor. Campaign of joy! You're talking about radical joy? It is downward joyful! It looks like a joyous rally it looks like in joyous occasion. A real zeal and joy in the campaign. The joy that you're bringing back to the country. Joyful exuberant rally thank you for bringing back the joy power of joy, hope and joy. Something incredibly joyful! She does it all with a sense of joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Joy Imagine that? American politics is joyful again. Oh beautiful Beautiful And what do you make of this? What I make of it is You cannot listen to mainstream legacy media

59:48 including Fox, just have to make sure people understand the Fox is run by Democrats. Without noticing that they're pretty much all against Trump or let me put it better they are all pro Harris they're pro-democrat the way they know but what you make of the asking that we know that no joy the idea What is this? It's a different term for hope and it's also I think it's a nod I don't think it's a synonym in any way or a different term for hope. It's also bit of a nod towards the Christians for Kamala

1:00:26 Joy for the churchies. There's a little bit of that in there. I don't know if that's... Joy to the world, yeah, I'm feeling it. Joy to the world? Well you might be getting closer. It's something else. I don't have it either so... It's persuasion! But joy is like corny. Well yeah. How was hope? Hope and change. It worked! Hope and change worked everywhere. There you go, it worked. We need to see yeah It's not a synonym but it worked so they needed something and someone came up with joy And we're taking their joy oh we can use I wonder who came up with this Maybe, you know I hear some just kind of off the top my head and thinking she cackles and laughs. And we had that one clip with a woman in the phony gay guy laughing like maniacs is it possible that because of that laugh they need a foil to offset the laugh? Oh no! That's not yeah... No she's laughing because she's joyful joy so

1:01:26 So you kind of like give her a pass on that stupid laugh of hers? Maybe. Yeah, it's possible yeah I could see that Anyway right on time we... On Friday the beautiful time to change the news cycle RFK Jr comes out suspends his campaign and endorses Trump, and then subsequently... On Friday. That was Friday yes? No you said Sunday Oh I meant Friday it was right after so the day after we changed... Yeah I know beautiful Now there was-I got from Deutsche Welle interesting

CHAPTER 13 / 43 Discussion

RFK Jr. Suspends Campaign, Endorses Donald Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump during a speech in Phoenix, Arizona. Kennedy cited the DNC's legal efforts to keep him off ballots and the "war on children" through chronic disease as primary reasons for his decision. The segment notes that major news networks like CNN and Fox News cut away from the speech when Kennedy began criticizing the pharmaceutical industry and media corruption.

robert f. kennedy jr· donald trump· dnc· arizona· swing states· censorship· big pharma

1:00:26 Joy for the churchies. There's a little bit of that in there. I don't know if that's... Joy to the world, yeah, I'm feeling it. Joy to the world? Well you might be getting closer. It's something else. I don't have it either so... It's persuasion! But joy is like corny. Well yeah. How was hope? Hope and change. It worked! Hope and change worked everywhere. There you go, it worked. We need to see yeah It's not a synonym but it worked so they needed something and someone came up with joy And we're taking their joy oh we can use I wonder who came up with this Maybe, you know I hear some just kind of off the top my head and thinking she cackles and laughs. And we had that one clip with a woman in the phony gay guy laughing like maniacs is it possible that because of that laugh they need a foil to offset the laugh? Oh no! That's not yeah... No she's laughing because she's joyful joy so

1:01:26 So you kind of like give her a pass on that stupid laugh of hers? Maybe. Yeah, it's possible yeah I could see that Anyway right on time we... On Friday the beautiful time to change the news cycle RFK Jr comes out suspends his campaign and endorses Trump, and then subsequently... On Friday. That was Friday yes? No you said Sunday Oh I meant Friday it was right after so the day after we changed... Yeah I know beautiful Now there was-I got from Deutsche Welle interesting

1:02:16 The timing of this, now you and I of course see this as oh this is what you do let's cut off all news coverage about the convention and let's twist it over to Trump. And he had pyrotechnics it was fantastic and Kennedy does a reasonably short speech. The Time magazine correspondent for Deutsche Welle had an interesting bit that I was not aware of regarding the timing. I think there were several factors, I think they were clearly running out of money. That was something that we knew for a while. Um, I think also it looked like a lot of these ballots were going to be printed in swing states. So in Arizona which is a big swing state today at 6am they were going to start printing about it with Kennedy's name on it so if you wanted to be offered he really wanted just put his support between one

1:03:08 one of the two candidates, this was the only time he could really do it. And I think a lot of- He clearly saw no path forward even though that had been the case for months. I've spoken to people in the campaign who told me that for more than a year they have been weighing possibly endorsing Donald Trump. So from what I hear, he's just a very indecisive person and clearly partly enjoyed being on the campaign trail and getting to be the main candidate but really kind of came to the end there I have one other shorter clip from this lady because she then brought in kind of the talking point that everybody was repeating about Bobby the op. And before we speak about his endorsement of Donald Trump, I want to talk about how RFK Jr tried to talk to Kamala Harris for potential cabinet job in her administration. What can you tell us about that? What do you make up the fact that it looks like he's tried to play both political parties here

1:04:06 I think he's done that from the very start. He obviously started as a Democratic candidate and he took great pride, I mean, I interviewed him several times and he took great pride in saying that he spoke to both sides so that he was always willing to talk to the extremes of both parties But obviously the Harris campaign, so absolutely nothing to gain from speaking with him because they actually did not want his endorsement. He's an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist he doesn't really align with most of their positions so even if it could get a little bit of a bump in the polls in some ways I didn't seem worth it to the Harris campaign

1:04:42 So I was watching CNN and they've removed this is no longer available. I, I was watching it on YouTube TV and you hit record and it doesn't record the whole show. It only records from where you were watching, I had this beautiful clip of Axelrod right out and he's with Anderson Cooper and the announcement is made. And Axelrod says well you can clearly see Bobby Kennedy is not a well man, he has mental issues like holy crap it was unbelievable! It's gone...I couldn't find that which was too bad. Now Fox They went live. Also, I could not find this... they cut RFK's speech off after... they let him go for quite a while but the minute he started talking about the drug industry and we'll get back to uh... I caught that too! I actually could have clipped it but i wish I had it. I looked for it It was just abruptly ended and didn't go on much longer than that. I had to scrounge around to get back to the speech

1:05:47 two clips just randomly. Let me play the CNN cutoff because that's also quite, they cut off much earlier. The same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor also without an election. They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate. My uncle and my father both relished debate, they prided themselves on their capacity to go toe-to-toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who, like... Yeah we gotta cut this off. He's going against our donors here. Let's cut this off. Come on in. Let's go. Cut him off. I've been listening to independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr from Phoenix outlining what led him to his quixotic quest for the White House dropping out and

1:06:50 relinquishing the title of Democrat. He had a series of complaints about the party, we're going to continue watching his remarks there's a back and forth over whether he's going to endorse... Yeah there you go so they just cut him off when he started lifting the veil on the corrupt media that wasn't gonna happen but it was it was interesting that Fox the minute you know their advertisers were in peril yeah talking about Big Pharma let's cut him off People should listen to this entire speech. It's available on YouTube, I believe? Yeah yeah it is quite interesting he also has an excellent rundown on Ukraine yep and i thought was very entertaining I have two clips of just random clips of Kennedy's above the speech if followed by two clips of the CNN analysis which contrast

1:07:44 Because they brought in some just brutal people. Did they call him mentally ill though? No, I wish i had that! That's great. I can't find it... Well let's go with Kennedy quits random this is random one each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot. The DNC dragged us into court, state after state attempting to erase their work and disavert the will of voters who had signed those petitions It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot And throw President Trump in jail

1:08:29 It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor also without an election They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020. Yeah, the whole speech was fantastic I mean it was like a no agenda speech we could have written most of it It's like yeah just go balls to the wall Bobby say this

CHAPTER 14 / 43 Discussion

Media Reaction to RFK Jr. Endorsement

CNN's coverage of the RFK Jr. endorsement is criticized for labeling his speech as "frontier gibberish" and "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs." The hosts discuss reports of David Axelrod and other analysts questioning Kennedy's mental health, suggesting the media's hostility is driven by Kennedy's attacks on their corporate advertisers.

cnn· david axelrod· brianna keilar· rfk jr· big pharma· mental health

1:09:10 It was great. Here's a second, here is the second segment these are sub-segments of a long speech but I want...the reason i'm playing this because they contrast them with what CNN said they were. Yes, I got it okay and so now made logical you there was no illogic or rambling or anything it was pretty straightforward and looked like he wasn't reading it But let's play the second one. Even today users who try to post my campaign videos to Facebook or YouTube get messages that this content violates community standards Two days after Judge Doty rendered his decision this week, Facebook was still attaching warning labels to an online petition calling on ABC to include me in the upcoming debate. They said that violates community standards—their community standards! The mainstream media was once the guardian of the First Amendment and democratic principles

1:10:08 and has joined this systemic attack on democracy. Shots fired! Okay, so now it's like you pointed out where they cut him off on CNN I want to play two clips these are short of their analysis of what he had to say and I want to listen carefully To this basic slander Donald Trump last week stood in front of a bunch of groceries and said, I haven't seen any Cheerios in a long time. I had cheerios for breakfast This was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and trying to get any logic out of that Wow! Did someone on the studio floor laugh at that lame-ass joke?

1:10:46 Yeah. in decipherable speech, he says who can argue with that? That's authentic frontier gibberish and that is exactly what it is. I was going to say to your point though Brianna the big overarching issue here for both campaigns for the Harris campaign Trump campaign is the third party sort of X factor and what that means for turnout in November so even if what he was saying wasn't easy to follow It is still the concern of either campaign which

1:11:34 partially why Trump was looking for that endorsement, that these voters are sort of the X factor in what they decide to do with RFK Jr. going into November when it's going to be such a tight race and we've seen that before back in 2016. By the way for black man to say that and evoke blazing saddles pretty racist so What was hard to follow or nothing for Cocoa Puffs? Nothing. Where was the illogic there wasn't that I mean, I only played those two could you get a play the whole thing and it followed a logical pattern it was discussing things in a straightforward manner that but no no CNN who didn't play

1:12:17 They cut him off as you said. They start making stuff up, this is CNN has really become a bad actor here. No no all media that has advertising sucks! It just sucks. It does. Part two, and yet his supporters may be confused because we're even confused based on his own statements now We've gotten a fresh statement from his campaign clarifying previous remarks in which initially in this court fighting in Pennsylvania it said that he would be endorsing Donald Trump His campaign came out and said that's not what's happening Then he in his remarks so that he was throwing his support behind Trump over the war in Ukraine when he described as the war on our children

1:13:00 and chronic disease was another one. It's hard to make sense of, Johanna Maske what do you see in all of this as this rambling speech goes on and he launches attacks against Democrats? Well, and look he's reminding us who he is. I mean, he's the troubled son of a famous politician who has had drug problems, problems with women, nefarious business dealings with Venezuela...I mean there were a lot of questions about his intentions in this campaign from the get-go He is not ready for primetime and certainly not ready for the presidency. I mean, he's never held elected office

1:13:41 Yeah, this is why I'm so upset that I couldn't find that Axelrod clip because there was someone else who came right after Axelrod and said the same thing. He's mentally ill they were saying! And just listen to him... Well we know he has an issue with his speech but this is so mean! It's mean but it shows you advertising based M5M, they have to self-censor. They cannot bring themselves to speak against Big Pharma, against their advertisers for political campaigns... This is a bonanza year! I mean there's going to be a lot of money spent on advertising. They just can't do that and this is why it sucks so bad. It's just horrible. Well that brings me to another

Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr. Marriage and Hollywood Backlash

The personal toll of RFK Jr.'s endorsement of Donald Trump is discussed, specifically regarding his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. Hines, known for her role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, reportedly faces significant pressure from her Hollywood peers, including Larry David, who are vocal critics of Trump.

cheryl hines· rfk jr· larry david· curb your enthusiasm· hollywood

1:14:33 segue. Well no, I want to stay on...I have a couple things i want to say about Bobby's speech if you don't mind? Well if you want..i just had this is the short... Yes yes I won what would....is there a segue way to a different topic then No! No it's not a segway to different topics, its a segway to what you just said about advertising and drug companies well now that's thats off-topic Okay, well because when I saw okay Queen take it no. It's Yas queen oh sorry yes Yes, queen come on you can do it so when I saw him do this? I really the first thing I thought is Oh man Because this I'm a family man. I'm thinking his wife hates Trump and

1:15:21 Hates Trump, but she's this okay with that Cheryl Heinz. Yes who we may suspect of being his handler for the CIA But she has barely been given a pass you know no one really talks about it But in Hollywood you know particularly with the what's-the-show The bald guy, the show that she's on. Curb your enthusiasm? Yeah so that guy is a Trump hater. Oh he really hates Trump! Larry David. So when, and it's hard to tell in Bobby the Ops voice but I felt real emotion when he says this is really hard on my... This comes from Inside Edition who of course would highlight this. RFK Jr.'s wife actress Cheryl Hines is reportedly not pleased about her husband's endorsement of Donald Trump. Hines famously co-starred in the Larry David hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm

1:16:21 Behind the scenes, Hines is not at all happy. Cheryl Hines is not exactly enthusiastic about him dropping out or endorsing Trump RFK Jr formally suspended his campaign today in the swing state of Arizona and through his support behind the former president This decision is agonizing for me because of the difficulties it causes my wife and my children and my friends. It's a stunning reversal, the New Yorker magazine says RFK recently texted a friend that Trump is a terrible human being and probably a sociopath. We just had a very nice endorsement from RFK Jr., Bobby.

1:17:03 I like how they have the little text message there going whoop, whoop and they show on screen obviously someone you know just doing it for the camera. You know he's a sociopath now I have just one more clip to play, but let's just look at a bit of analysis because there are people who feel...I've really been trying to go with the flow on the socials and see what people are thinking. So I'm seeing a lot of RFK supporters and I wouldn't say there is a lot of them but there is many who were very vocal and they are posting things like hey, okay I want to talk to MAGA people. Let's see if we can become united." So that's... and I think that's genuine what i'm seeing? I don't know if it's a lot of people but there are some big you know people with a lot of followers and they're saying okay um we're going to follow Bobby in this and we want to join with MAGA and then that is being received very positively and optimistically

CHAPTER 17 / 43 Discussion

Chronic Disease, Ultra-Processed Foods and Seed Oils

RFK Jr.'s campaign focus on the "poisoning" of the American food supply is examined. Kennedy, advised by Kali Means, argues that ultra-processed foods, industrial seed oils, and addictive chemicals are responsible for skyrocketing rates of cancer and mental health issues in children.

rfk jr· kali means· ultra-processed food· seed oils· chronic disease· big food

1:20:56 Cancer rates are skyrocketing in the young and the old. Young adult cancers are up 79%. One in four American women is on antidepressant medication, 40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis and 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall, and half a million children on SSRIs. So what's causing this suffering? I'll name two culprits. The first and the worst is ultra-processed food. About 70% of American children's diet is ultra processed that means industrial manufacturing in the factory these foods consist primarily of processed sugar or ultra processed grains

1:21:39 and seed oils. Laboratory scientists who form, many of them formerly worked for the cigarette industry which purchased all the big food companies in the 1970s and 80s deployed thousands of scientists to figure out chemicals new chemicals that make the foods more addictive And these ingredients didn't exist a hundred years ago They humans aren't biologically adapted to eat them Hundreds of these chemicals are now banned in Europe, but ubiquitous in American processed foods. Now we know where he got this from because he has been advised by Kali Means you are adamantly against this theory and in fact... Yes I still am You think it's a conspiracy theory? No I don't think is a conspiracy theory I think it's nonsense! no use...I'm sorry well I mean a conspiracy theory in the nonsense kind of way

1:22:36 Okay, I can accept that. Yeah just all right well. I thought it was so can we take anything he says? Seriously then yeah, I think the food supply is toxic. I'm not arguing that no but he's clearly parroting talking points that That come from someone else. I mean what else oh He does that with climate too, so he's not an original thinker. I don't think All right Because I heard that and like oh John must be yelling No, I'm not yelling. Oh you yelled at it when i played the clip! Well no I didn't...I just said it was bullcrap is what I think I said It was a little more animated than that So so the clips I wanted to play about the drug companies are something we used to do on this show and we stopped doing it Uh-oh well we need to start immediately No we don't need to start immediately but we do have to play these two clips This is one 60 second ad

Voquezna Heartburn Medication, Severe Side Effects

An analysis of a television advertisement for the heartburn medication Voquezna reveals a long list of severe potential side effects, including bone fractures, seizures, and kidney problems. The hosts question the logic of pharmaceutical advertising that encourages patients to risk major health complications for minor ailments.

voquezna· heartburn· fda· side effects· big pharma· advertising

1:23:36 that I chopped up into two parts. And this is, I never heard of this before and there's all these things coming out and I think they're going to get what they can out of the especially with the fear that Bobby Kennedy is gonna have anything to do with this because he's against advertising drug companies advertising on TV as much as anyone. This is a product called Vokenza B-O-Q-U-E-N-ZA. ZNA, I don't know how they came up with this. They spell it vo-kez-na? Vo-kez-na, I think. And it says in the day... They say it in the ad you can figure out how to pronounce it but it's basically a heartburn medication because some people have a lot of heartburn instead of taking Tums or changing their diet or eating more base foods as opposed to acidic foods or whatever or even eating more acidic foods that counteracted

1:24:32 You use this pill and here's the opening. This is Steve, Steve takes Voquesna. This is Steve stomach where Voquesna can kick some acid, heal acid related damage to the esophagus called erosive esophagitis and relieve related heartburn. Voquesna is the first and only FDA approved treatment of its kind. 93% of adults were healed by two months. Of those healed 79% stayed healed and Voquesna can provide heartburn free days and nights. Healed? Is heartburn some kind of a... Well, it happens if you damage your esophagus then it has to heal. It's like anything else. Oh well the acid reflux can damage your esophagus Yeah that is what they are talking about This is an acid reflux drug basically Alright But The second half is the... Side effects? It's almost 60 seconds Add 27 seconds promote the product Here we go

1:25:28 This is some of the worst side effects I've ever heard and how this drug ever got released into the public is beyond me. Burn free days and nights Other serious stomach conditions may still exist Don't take if allergic to VoQuesna or Wylan products with real Pevrine Voquesna may cause serious side effects including kidney problems, diarrhea bone fractures severe skin reactions low vitamin B12 or magnesium levels, and stomach growths. Call your doctor if you have diarrhea, stomach pain or fever that won't go away decreased or bloody urine seizures dizziness irregular heartbeat jitteriness muscle aches or weakness spasms of hands feet or voice. Verquezna can help kick some acid so can you ask your doctor about Verquez. Yeah this doesn't sound like a great product bone fractures seizures

1:26:19 And by the way, the one thing that's in all these ads. I can't believe anyone would take this if just knowing you get some huggin bone fractures. You may experience death when taking voquesna So what? I don't get is don't take it if you're allergic to it. Yeah How do you know how would you know ask your doctor Well how would he no nobody knows until you take it so it makes nose so there's a ill logic to all these ads It's a catchall I used to be a Tums addict actually, until i figured out that taking Tums actually keeps the heartburn going. It doesn't help and it's always helped me but its also got alot of calcium which you need. Drink milk!

Anthony Fauci Hospitalized, West Nile and Triple-E Virus

Dr. Anthony Fauci was hospitalized for six days after contracting West Nile virus from a mosquito bite. Simultaneously, officials in Massachusetts have implemented a voluntary 6 p.m. curfew in several towns due to the threat of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (Triple-E), a rare but potentially fatal mosquito-borne illness.

anthony fauci· west nile virus· eastern equine encephalitis· triple-e· massachusetts

1:27:10 Well, since we're on the big pharma... We might as well bring out the news of the day! Tonight Dr. Anthony Fauci The nation's former top infectious disease official and the face of the fight against COVID is dealing with his own health scare A spokesperson says Fauci was hospitalized for six days with West Nile virus The rare virus is usually spread by mosquitoes and can be deadly. Fauci, who's 83 is now recovering at home. So we have all these mosquito diseases popping up all of a sudden my favorite is the triple E! Oxford Massachusetts and three neighboring towns have a reason for concern as mosquitoes carrying a potentially deadly virus called Eastern equine encephalitis or Triple-E infected a resident who was now fighting for his life We don't want to see another human case

1:27:55 of triple E this year. The rare but dangerous disease can cause swelling in the brain there's no treatment and anyone can get infected the death rate is as high as 30 percent even if you do survive usually there are long-term significant health impacts neurological impacts Oxford has been declared a critical risk for Tripoli, prompting health department officials to recommend as 6 p.m curfew for outdoor activities including club sports. These are recommendations they're not hard and stop requirements we are definitely nervous about it. Sarah Fournier is also worried her children's sports seasons foot

1:28:35 ball and cheer could be jeopardized. But they're taking precautions by wearing mosquito repellent and long sleeve tops. We can't stop life, they need to get out there and play this is their time to be social with their friends and be a part of a team Now, triple E symptoms usually begin between 4 to 10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. According to the CDC now some of those symptoms can include fever headache and seizures So this sounds like another bunch of bullcrap to me This triple e everything's a what I was just gonna say I have the number Yeah, was it five people?

Parvovirus B19 Warnings and Dog Virus History

The CDC has issued a warning regarding Parvovirus B19, also known as "slap cheek syndrome," noting its potential danger to pregnant women. The segment recalls a 2022 outbreak of a similar virus in Michigan dogs, questioning why health officials are not investigating potential links between animal and human strains.

parvovirus b19· cdc· slap cheek syndrome· michigan· pregnancy

1:29:20 11. There you go. Well, but what we have in people average it annually 11 out of 300 and whatever 350 million people this country 11 annually the number is it's so my new I think that the whole idea is just run stories that make people anxious And then you get medication because you're anxious. Oh, Xanax or whatever I mean here's another one and let's turn to another health concern the CDC is warning pregnant women about something called Parvo virus what is it? Parvo virus B19 is a specific type of virus and its a virus that children often get and they don't really get that sick The one thing they do get are they get a red rash on their cheeks we call slap cheek syndrome because it looks like your cheeks were slapped

1:30:05 For children, not that big a deal. For pregnant women it can be a problem because if the fetus gets it, it can cause fetal demise, it can cause fetal abnormalities, it can cause fetal issues and so the concern is children spreading it to pregnant women so they want to be careful some of the things you can do essentially like we talked about during COVID lot of hand washing stay away from people who might be sick and you can certainly wear a mask If your concerned because that could help to certain extent You are correct as you said this is not new But do you remember the last time we heard about paro virus in America? Paro? Paro. That's parvo virus. Do you remember the last time we heard about this? No

1:30:47 Two years ago, listen to the difference in story. Tonight officials in Michigan have identified the mysterious virus that has killed at least 30 dogs. Animal experts confirmed today the disease is Parvovirus. Not all of the dogs were completely vaccinated. Scientists are now trying to figure out why initial tests came back negative for parvovirus leading officials to wonder if it's a new strain? So, so how come they haven't linked this as it's jump from dogs to humans? What a missed opportunity and there is vaccine apparently. I think they're missing all kinds of opportunities here Well not if they are just trying to keep people on edge

Medicare Coverage for Wegovy, Ozempic Mental Health Study

New federal guidance allows Medicare to cover weight-loss drugs like Wegovy when prescribed for heart health benefits. Meanwhile, a World Health Organization database study suggests a possible link between semaglutide and suicidal thoughts, though the FDA maintains there is currently no confirmed causal relationship.

wegovy· ozempic· medicare· semaglutide· suicidal thoughts· fda

1:31:26 Well, here's the real big news because this is going to bankrupt all systems. And a lot of the arguments around weight loss drugs have been about the cost. A lot of times they are not things unless you have diabetes that you can get reimbursed for and they are expensive but it could be a change coming for Medicare patients Yeah, a big one for Medicare patients. Medicare can now cover some weight loss drugs for the first time under the new guidance treatments that have been FDA approved for other health benefits can be covered so that clears the way for a drug like Wigovi to be covered it was recently approved to be prescribed to reduce heart attacks and strokes

1:32:02 So under the new guidance, if the drug is being prescribed to reduce the risk of strokes or heart attacks it could be covered. And other weight loss drugs may be eligible in the future as some are now being tested to see if they can provide additional health benefits The weight loss drugs would be covered under Medicare prescription drug plans administered by private insurers known as Part D coverage The concern for patients needing it for say like non-weight loss Is really supply guys I mean my best friend has diabetes and he's can't get his Rx You gotta make sure that people who truly need it for a condition should be able to get it. Hey, have you gotten your Rx lately? Your RX? It's your RX! So... That is a very bad sign because that means the lobbying has paid off. It will be trillions of dollars to put everybody on this nonsense what I deem to be nonsense

1:32:56 And we still have... It's unhealthy. You're stuck with it forever Yeah, we still have to clear up this one little annoying... Just eat less food! Hello? We have to... Lessen the pie hole One little thing we got to clear up about this report, they're still combating it. There's a new study out today that links a popular weight loss drug to a higher rate of suicidal thoughts but there are questions about the findings. CBS News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr John Lepook is here to explain. Hi there John Hey there. Nora, there have been relatively few reported cases of patients having suicidal thoughts or actions while taking one of these drugs for weight loss It's important to note here that obesity itself is associated with an increased risk of depression The study out today searched a large World Health Organization database that tracks adverse drug reactions and found a possible link between suicidal thoughts and semaglutide the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic

1:33:54 But Nora, the study has limitations. It only looked at people who reported having a problem while on the drug We don't know how many people were taking the drug without a problem we also don't know what the dosage was and how long people were on it So far the FDA has found no link between these drugs and suicidal thoughts and actions but it's continuing to investigate Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozepic and Wegovy says it stands behind the safety of its drugs. And it will continue to collaborate closely with the FDA today The FDA stressed to CBS News that health care providers and patients should have a careful discussion of possible risks especially in patients with a history of depression or self-harm and that patients should be aware of the importance of reporting any change in how they're feeling

1:34:41 So I just wanted to remind everybody that a lot of people eat to eat away their problems. And we have played many reports of this. There's probably no direct link that you get depressed from taking this drug, and that's why they can keep saying it over and over again. The issue is there's a segment of the population who are unhappy, depressed to have trauma, and they eat to cover up when they feel sad or lonely. And when you can't eat because of this drug then those feelings come back. That's what's happening

Bowling Green, Kentucky as a National Test Market

A producer report from Bowling Green, Kentucky, describes the city's role as a primary test market for new fast food products and pharmaceutical advertising. The report claims anecdotally that the local "Ozempic summer" has led to a surge in divorces as residents experience rapid weight loss and seek new relationships.

bowling green· kentucky· test market· ozempic· divorce· fast food

1:35:19 And we will see, I think a reasonably big mental health crisis. But that's okay because we can sell more drugs for that which is groovy. I did have boots on the ground from Bowling Green if you recall on the last show where we had a news report or clip about the compounding of GLP-1 drugs in Bowling Green Kentucky? So we have our producer Joshua. He says, boots on the ground in BG Kentucky here after listening to Thursday's show I figured give a little background on Bowling Green as NPR decided to call us just a small town in Kentucky while not huge bowling green is the third largest city in Kentucky only about 45 minutes north of Nashville also home to The Corvette plant and The Mammoth Cave National Park okay enough for that. The Ozempic story failed to mention

1:36:11 The Bowling Green is known for having the most restaurants per person in Kentucky and in many surrounding states. Because of this, it has always been a tester market for new types of food drink and candy New Kit Kat flavor? We get it! New ridiculous unhealthy creation at KFC or Taco Bell McDonald's? Bowling Green is gonna roll it out...and eat it up apparently Anecdotally, this is what I thought was interesting. The amount of divorces happening among people my age, elder millennial in this area over the past half year or so has been astounding and often tied to ozempic and similar weight loss drugs so much so that the saying looks like someone else's competing in the summer Ozempics has become a thing recently. So people are getting divorced because they're like seeing other hot people walking around

1:37:02 Hey, babe you're not an ozempic. I think i'm gonna cheat on you Recently I've noticed a major uptick in advertising received on Facebook and other socials for semaglutide drugs even A Hymns commercial offering free and cheap injections But only see these when I'm scrolling while in the bowling green area The messaging is everywhere here when I leave the state for work there's not a peep of it on my socials Well, that's interesting Bowling Green producer. We need you to stay on alert because we'll know if they're trying something else out because apparently you're the lab rats of America! There are a couple places in the country like that What else? Do you know any other ones? Well I know the Seattle area was the lab rat area for rolling out previews of movies for focus groups Interesting Apparently people up there were like the average

1:37:55 movie viewer, I guess. But these people is different like they're giving them horrible sugary candy and pretty colors and all kinds of stuff to eat and then they throw them on a... Yeah that's what you do when you find this spot where it says Average American and you just use that as test. It's cheap! Instead of doing a bunch of real research, you finds one place No no can't be doing that You find the one place and you just see what happens Oh man It's actually smart Well, it's smart if these people are aware of it. Which they're not no you don't want anyone aware of it That's the know yeah You can't do that then it screws it up screws it up

Updated COVID-19 Vaccines, Federal Test Kit Relaunch

The FDA has authorized updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna targeting current variants. Additionally, the federal government plans to relaunch the covidtest.gov website in late September, allowing households to order four free rapid test kits despite the hosts' skepticism regarding the ongoing necessity of these measures.

fda· pfizer· moderna· covid-19· vaccines· covidtest.gov

1:38:35 It's like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Let's wrap it up with the obvious to be expected The FDA is giving the green light for updated COVID vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna which have been designed and better protect against a current circulating variants of the virus The best plan going into this winter is for everyone to remain vigilant Use the tools we have Vaccines, testing, treatment against the illnesses responsible for the majority of fall and winter deaths and hospitalizations. The FDA says vaccinations continue to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention, and can help avoid the lingering symptoms of long COVID. The only way you get long COVID is by having COVID, and vaccines can help prevent COVID

1:39:23 No. Health experts recommend getting vaccinated sometime in September or October. It's going to take a few weeks to get that protection, which may last for several months heading into what may be a winter surge. Well I must say, I know people who have had six vaccinations

1:40:00 That's the OG and five boosters. And even they're saying, yeah I don't think this is right for me it's not working for me we have that week i didn't get the clip but we have this one guy who keeps coming on our local stations he's a doctor at UCSF he's a Chinese guy Huang something or other yeah and he just looks like a torturing... He looks like a character plays a torturing person that I remember from Alias or someplace. He looks like an actor and he is in some ways, and his latest thing as well if you get COVID don't get the vaccine as soon as you can after you get COVID? Yeah

1:40:44 No, that means they're promoting this. Just get the vet know what you could be sick as a dog and get to cover 20 times just keep taking this vaccine. I don't know if it's just ridiculous is this logic is elusive but in that report there they said well you know the vaccine will take the booster and it'll last for three months yeah how good is that Go on vitamin D3. This program it's the third year in a row that families can order up to four tests per household through the website COVID test.gov now the federal government is set to relaunch site again at the end of September since the program began it has sent out more than 1.2

1:41:42 billion COVID test. Yeah, this comes as the FDA announced it has authorized updated COVID vaccines of both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech to better protect against currently circulating variants The CDC said last week it estimates that Covid 19 cases are growing or likely growing in more than half the states So they show this map during this bit of the news report growing or likely growing which is another interesting little like likely growing what does that mean well and they show these colors and you see New York California they're growing not even likely growing their growing Texas in California Texas in Florida don't even have a color

1:42:27 There's nothing happening here. No COVID. When will people get it? I mean, not get the COVID or the vaccine but when will they start to understand? Understand what? That is bullcrap? Yes! The COVID shot apparently makes you more susceptible to getting COVID. It is crazy It's logical if you just keep looking at the evidence. Now, I just went to covidtest.gov and said- And you ordered for? You ordered for it? No! No no it was a bullcrap report Oh Coming soon What?! You can order your free COVID 19 test at the end of September Ahhhh fake news That's fake news And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you The man who put the C in the slap cheek Say hello to my friend on the other end The one, the only Mr. Josh

The bonus of these modern podcast apps is that you will get alerted when we go live, which is really the way that I think podcasts are going. More people are saying yeah we should just do it live record it live stop with the... Live to tape! ...the endless editing and trying to cutting out all the uh's and um's and then that's the beauty of it tightening up white space hey I love silence I love it when we're contemplating

1:47:39 And we're in thoughts. And people look at their podcasts like, did it break? Did it stop? What happened? These guys still talking to me? They still on what happened is called dead air but I'm not against dead air. I think that there's beautiful there's no reason have to fill up every single spot of dead air and so catered just silence for a moment silence is golden. We are able to speak the way we have been speaking for the past hour and 45 minutes because we do not have any advertisers. We don't have something in the back of our mind, you know actually there was something that someone alerted me too let's see if I have this one of our producers yeah we always have the tip-of-the day

1:48:30 And the tip of the day is typically, I don't have one today by the way. So hope you have a good tip for today but tip of the day has often been your product if it's a product you like it's usually of the lube variety but it's bull. Yes its bull! I'm being funny we had people very happy with the roller blade wheels tip from the previous show. I finally got mine and have you tried them out? No, I just got him. Oh okay... It turns out that there's an Amazon influencer program and- And you got influenced? No no um there are thousands, thousands! Wait wait stop all of a sudden it just dawned on me what you just said takes a while

1:49:23 Amazon is paying people money to promote Amazon products? Yes. Well, it's like the old affiliate program but they are actively... as far as I know, we gotta look into this because sometimes you know... Well its okay so our producer got approved It's called shot then and the videos it's usually videos. So it's tick tock That's the end of us. It's shoppable shoppable shopables so People are out there trust these influencers you can't well You can't trust any podcast actually that talks about products except ours because we've been doing this forever

1:50:09 Yeah, we get nothing out of it. And to be cut straight to it I believe this is a violation of the Federal Trade Commission rules. I think you have to disclose if you're being paid or you're getting a VIG from promoting something. This was put into play about six seven eight years ago or longer Walmart is now doing this TikTok actually has their own shop We've known this for a while, we've talked about it. But now it's gone way beyond TikTok. Podcasts are doing it. YouTubers are doing it. So be very careful if it doesn't say tip of the day you're no agenda show you're probably being scammed and that's just something to take note of because we can talk about whatever we want cause we don't get paid by anybody. We get support from our producers cause we don't even have listeners or fans

1:51:07 Fans, we don't have fans. I like the way you're derisive when you say fans. Yeah, fans is... You have to have fan days We have meetups! We got meetups, we got producers Producers do stuff They send interesting information They go down rabbit holes Yeah okay so sometimes they come up with weird stuff Ah there it is First one of the show Okay, you're up one to nothing. No it no the tally was Adam six John for Adam five John Ford is now Adam six John four we have a producer of course who was tracking that Good for him yes, so I him So it is 6 for me 4 for you? I'm very disappointed in myself Yeah, I am too because you're the one that can stop stuff on a dime Well, I caught it the minute it came out But it was too late

CHAPTER 25 / 43 Discussion

Website Features, Episode 1688 Artwork Review

A review of the technical features on the No Agenda website and the artwork for the previous episode. The hosts discuss the "Impusted" art by Dame Kenny Benn and alternative submissions by Tantaniel, debating the visual effectiveness of various satirical themes.

noagendashow.net· tim choudhury· dreb scott· tantaniel· kenny benn

1:51:58 It's okay. If you caught it before, now if you start to say bleh and then stop yourself right there... Earlier I said interesting, I've been working on different words odd strange yeah strange we're working on it so we get support in time talent and treasure and one of the phenomenal things we've received from Tim Choudryan is is noagendashow.net he built that website, he has in fact incorporated a lot of podcasting 2.0 features people don't realize this but you can take these 2.0 features which the chapters the transcripts all kinds of things you can put right into your website which is not a bad idea most podcasts have dumb crappy websites

1:52:46 And we have a good one, and that is what our producer Tim has done for us. Just as one of the many people who provide us their time and talent We'll be talking to our treasure producers in a moment after we thank our artists for episode 1688 The title of that show was Impusted I was against this art I didn't like it. Somehow you feel that you had two gimme's in our ever ongoing... I had three and yeah, got cheated out of one of them No, it has always been two You now have one left And you chose for Dane Kenney-Benz art which was the balls for a hot dog and uh..and I couldn't figure out why I didn't like it until I saw it posted on some timelines and now I know

1:53:32 If you step back, it looks like a monkey. You really have to focus in on it to see that it's a vasectomy outfit that gives you hot dogs for vasectomies It looks like a monkey when you just look at it Looks like a monkeys face with the monkey smile and they didn't really work for me but we have veto power here I chose not to use this No, what you wanted was the horrible Tantaniel piece with a hot dog looking kind of like a limp dick being cut in half by a pair of scissors. That was my top choice. I had other choices... Let me see Not really Well, I kinda liked Commissary Bloggers no agenda now with blockchain I thought that was okay

1:54:26 And I saw that you used the riot drone by Sweeper for the newsletter. Yeah, because it was an evergreen piece. Yeah and...I don't think there really wasn't much else that really caught her. Oh no! I like the No Agenda signs which was also a Tantaniel which were like the DNC signs like we love you Joe and thank you Joe Those stick signs? Yeah, the stick signs. I like those! I preferred that one but you had issues with it which is probably true... It was... The issues were it was just a little too simple and that was small. It didn't work, just didn't work. Yeah anyway I like the creativity of it but I didn't like it Yes you didn't like it Well...it's okay That looked like it was done by hand I mean look yeah that I'd give her credit for So thank You Dame Kenny Benn another Dutch master at work who brought us the artwork for episode 1688

CHAPTER 26 / 43 Discussion

Value for Value, Executive Producer Donations

The "Value for Value" funding model is explained during the reading of high-level donations. The hosts contrast their listener-supported model with the aggressive $10 SMS fundraising tactics currently employed by the Donald Trump campaign, which they describe as insulting and repetitive.

Ronald Syverud Arrested, Secret Service Personnel Changes

Ronald Syverud was arrested in Arizona for allegedly threatening to kill Donald Trump on social media, occurring exactly six weeks after the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt. Concurrently, five Secret Service agents, including the Special Agent in Charge of the Pittsburgh field office, have been placed on administrative leave pending investigations into the July security failure.

ronald syverud· donald trump· secret service· butler pennsylvania· assassination attempt

2:06:44 Helping us out, producing episode 1,689. Our formula is this... We go out we hit people in the mouth. Order! Order! Shut up slave! Shut up slave! I want to start off with something that you are s- wanna talk about Oh alright And that is the reemergence of The Six Week Cycle Yeah Yes yes yes and I have a clip which explains what happened

2:07:21 66-year old Ronald Syverud is behind bars tonight, Sean. After he allegedly threatened to kill former President Trump on social media. Now Syverud was taken into custody in Cochise County without incident today that according to a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office there The 66 year old has several outstanding warrants on separate charges including for a DUI and for failing to appear in court in Wisconsin He's also wanted for failing to register as a sex offender, as well as a hit and run in the state of Arizona. Clearly he has got issues. Now the threat comes just six weeks after former President Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania

2:08:05 Syproot's rap sheet also includes over a dozen aliases, 17 by my count and multiple felonies. Well this is another bonus for those agents because if you intervene there's an intervention then you get a bonus they need to tie it into something from international level but this guy doesn't look like he has anything to do with Iran at all. He is one ugly guy You know, I had a clip earlier from Inside Edition. We used to play more Inside Edition back in the day so it was fun to see what they're up too and they had this story as well with a tag. Five Secret Service agents have been placed on leave following last month's assassination attempt in Pennsylvania There are multiple secret service officials who've been put on leave At least five secret service members put on leave

2:08:57 More of them are from the Pittsburgh field office, including the special agent in charge. That to me would be a likely indication that the agent in charge made some very bad calls. Trump may be breathing a little easier today following the arrest of a convicted sex offender who allegedly threatened to kill him. The suspect was arrested last night at a traffic stop in Arizona. Trump learned about the plot moments before this interview with News Nation Arizona border. We're in danger standing here talking, so let's not talk any longer now I know about it but they don't want me standing here they don't want you standing here either oh man I pray for him yeah no it would be pretty bad six weeks yes well typical that we have some real problems here in America with our intelligence community and real problems

CHAPTER 28 / 43 Discussion

Solingen Knife Attack, Diversity Festival Violence

A 26-year-old Syrian man confessed to a fatal knife attack at a "Festival of Diversity" in Solingen, Germany, which left three people dead. While ISIS claimed responsibility for the act, German authorities are investigating the suspect's background as an asylum seeker. The incident is discussed as part of a broader trend of knife violence in Europe.

solingen· germany· isis· syrian refugee· diversity festival· stabbings

2:09:47 This Solingen in Germany, I'm familiar with Solingen. Nothing's really far from Holland but this is not that far from Holland. I have the ABC report and then we have a late breaking report from Deutsche Welle here's the ABC giving us the rundown Tonight an urgent manhunt now underway in Germany for the person authorities say is responsible for a violent stabbing attack in the city of Solingen Friday night ISIS now claiming responsibility for the incident which left at least three people dead and eight more injured. The city's mayor saying last night our hearts were torn apart we in Zollingen are full of horror and grief. Emergency calls coming in just after 9 30 p.m. local time, the unidentified individual attacking people with a knife in the middle of the crowded Festival of Diversity commemorating

2:10:43 An organizer at a stage nearby urging festival goers to keep calm but also your eyes open because the perpetrator is on the run. The crime scene cordoned off, forensics teams searching the area for evidence. The attack occurring in the audience in front of this stage The lights above it still operating today as mourners gather nearby a growing memorial of flowers and candles honoring the victims. Two men ages 56 and 67, and a 56 year old woman did not survive police announcing a 15 year old is now under arrest. They say they don't believe he was the attacker but suspect him of knowing about it in advance

2:11:23 Tonight, a police operation underway at this refugee housing complex after they say they received a tip in the case. Authorities making a second arrest there. Yeah so turns out this guy starts stabbing people in the neck I have boots on the ground for this shouted Allah Akbar somehow this is blamed on ISIS but But if you listen to the Deutsche Welle report, we quickly see that this is just another unhappy newcomer. German police say a 26-year old Syrian man has confessed to carrying out a knife attack in the western city of Solingen that killed three people and injured eight others Earlier, the so called Islamic State claimed it was behind Friday night's attack on the festival but provided no evidence

2:12:12 Police and prosecutors report that the suspect turned himself in. Police officers move in on a refugee center in Solingen, they detained one man and questioned several others We are getting a lot of tips and we have to investigate every single one of them. When the tip becomes more concrete, then we take action. We have to wait for the results of this investigation and then we can say more." Earlier, the center of Solingen was cordoned off and the search for the killer widened. The attack during a diversity festival has left the city in shock. Yeah so the whole diversity festival part it's all... This is this is the new normal you look at

2:12:55 Knife crime, of course there are no guns in Europe to speak of. A man was stabbed in the center of Amsterdam actually not fair I mean around the corner almost from where I used to live Prinsengracht Rozengracht that is a stone's throw from my old house That happened yesterday or the day before South Wales Newport another stabbing Sydney six people injured after knife men rampage And the common denominator, I hate to say it is asylum seekers and immigrants in general. That is the common denominator and it's just being papered over with ISIS please. So... Unhappy newcomer I think is the term we're looking for that's a good show title too unhappy newcomer

Digital ID Executive Order, GrapheneOS Kill Switch

The Biden administration is reportedly drafting an executive order to expedite the adoption of digital IDs via the login.gov portal. In response to increasing government surveillance, the GrapheneOS mobile operating system has released a "kill switch" feature that allows users to enter a secondary PIN to instantly wipe their device if forced to unlock it by authorities.

digital id· login.gov· executive order· grapheneos· privacy· encryption

2:13:44 You know, when unhappy newcomers are here in the United States they let in 10 million of them. More than that probably. Or 20, 10 to 20 but I'll go conservative and say ten just to be nice. When do they become unhappy and start doing what they... We can use guns here so it'd be... If you shoot somebody in the middle of a crowd it makes such a noise that people are alerted Guns are safer than knives. Knives cause much more destruction and it's really painful. Do you recall two shows ago we were talking about that bogative story about the 2.9 billion social security numbers, which of course is not true? Right or yes And I said be on the lookout for some kind of legislation Well this came from multiple sources

2:14:43 The Biden administration is working to expedite widespread adoption of digital IDs, including driver's licenses and will be put into a draft executive order. And it looks like login dot gov will be the portal that we'll be asked to use for this." Oh! That'll be hacked? Yeah I mean it's probably the worst idea ever...ever But it is coming. An executive order and how long will it take before you need that to do anything? Your ISP will require it to go online, I mean you can just see it coming down Broadway. I know you think its un-American which it is but I feel they're going to this. They don't want people being anonymous online thats the ultimate goal

2:15:32 Ultimate. The public's one account for government, I'm looking at it now. Yeah. Login dot gov. Log in dot gov is for you individuals use one account for secure private access to participating government agencies yeah baby You're one account for government. Learn how to create an account now! Yes, go ahead and create an account get ahead of it, get a jump on it John. Get a jump! Email address we recommend a personal email address that you'll always be able to access rather than a work email address. If you already have an account with login.gov with that email address will send you an email to let you know how you can reset your password in oh yeah okay mm-hmm yeah

2:16:17 Secure passwords. Yes, yeah one or more no now you need this you need one or more authentication methods such as Face or touch for unlock security key authentication application, but that's the one federal government employee or military identification And it's less secure if you use a test text or voice message or backup codes You know what graphene OS just released. You know graphene os is this alternative? de-googled Android operating system, which makes many smart people. So they just released a new feature you can add so you know you can log in with your passcode and you know your bunch of numbers like a number pad. They've added a feature where you can have a secondary

2:17:10 sequence of numbers and if you enter that so yeah the police will say give us your pin code give us your pin code unlock your phone and you give them that code it immediately starts erasing the entire device. Oh, you give them the second code? Yeah! Isn't that cool? So the second code is a kill switch Yes! It's fantastic I love it Well... Hmm... Yeah Well, no it's a great idea until they... Well they won't be happy. But if they grab the phone? No they grabbed the phone and then what yeah they'll say give me your passcode okay and then they get to fake passcode with them smart enough to see it as a graphene OS they know you're trying to scam him but he won't enter it well then they won't get in will they because they'll have to kill me to get my passcode

CHAPTER 30 / 43 Discussion

Israel Preemptive Strike, Hezbollah Conflict, Lindsey Graham

Israel launched preemptive airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to thwart a planned large-scale rocket attack. Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on CNN to advocate for a more aggressive stance, suggesting that Israel should threaten to bomb Iranian oil refineries if hostages are not released.

israel· hezbollah· lebanon· lindsey graham· iran· oil refineries

2:18:00 You know, you know bamboo splints up the fingernails. You get your give it up now that sounds American totally not yet Not yet so we had a preemptive strike preemptive strike on his bulla Hezbollah. Have you noticed that there are different ways of pronouncing it? I do like the kind of... We need to standardize. Hezbollah, hezbollah. But most say hezballa and watching all of the DNC footage people just be talking like this and all of a sudden... I'm talking like this and I'm saying so...

2:18:42 Yes, like French Canadian French. They drop in English words out of the blue. It's just a... It's strange. Strange but that's it's code you know it's kind of like Ukraine! That's new as well if you're in the milieu is Ukraine not Ukraine Ukraine Anyway, let's see. I think we have a report here. More tensions in the Middle East this morning after the Israeli military carried out preemptive air strikes in Lebanon early this morning on what it deemed quote terror targets Israel claimed Hezbollah was preparing to fire hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory so it acted first Hezbollah says they are carrying out strikes toward Israel and response to the killing of a top military commander last month This comes ahead of a ceasefire summit that is scheduled to happen today in Cairo

2:19:40 I'd say they're a little bit apart. If one side wants to send rockets and the other side does a preemptive strike, I don't think your ceasefire talks are going that well but it doesn't matter because Right on cue lady G pops in on tapper Graham senator we have a lot to get to thanks for joining us I want to start with the news overnight that Israel's military said it launched preemptive strikes Against the terrorist group Hezbollah and Lebanon has full of launch strikes back towards Israel This comes as hostage and ceasefire talks are set to resume in Cairo today. How should the US respond to?

2:20:25 to what's going on in the Middle East and what is your message to get this ceasefire and hostage release deal across the finish line? Well number one I think we gotta remember that October 7th attack was generated, in my view, to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia Israel. It's a nightmare for Iran and her proxies for the Arabs and Israelis to reconcile make peace and take the region in a different direction So as to the hostages, I would hold Iran responsible for their well-being. If I were the state of Israel, I would tell the Ayatollah if these people do not come home alive, the ones that are left alive and if we don't get the bodies of the fallen We're gonna blow up your oil refineries Yeah That's the only way you're ever going to get the hostages released is put pressure on Iran In fact, I would say bomb them, bomb them and then bomb again Yeah baby Bomb em! Bomb em! Bomb em again

9/11 Pentagon "No Plane" Witness Compilation

A compilation of archival news clips from September 11, 2001, features witnesses and reporters at the Pentagon who initially claimed there was no visible evidence of a large aircraft at the crash site. The segment explores the "Season of Reveal" regarding long-standing questions about the official 9/11 narrative.

I didn't see no plane, didn't hear no plane Like I said, all I heard was the impact and then the flame. This huge ball of fire came up over the building." Outside the Pentagon CNN's military affairs correspondent Jamie McIntyre. And Jamie you got very close to where that plane went down? That's right Judy a short while ago I walked right up next to the building from my close-up inspection there is no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only sight is the actual side of the building that's crashed in and the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you could pick up in your hand there are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage nothing like that anywhere around We were on the scene early this morning when all of the workers were literally pouring out at this building and here's what some of them had to say about today's event

2:24:08 getting ready to do my town trip and one young black lady was running down the hall screaming and hollering saying get out, get out. It was a bomb! And so everybody stopped to look and then there were some more people running around screaming and hollering Get Out it is a bomb! Then when I was exiting out the door they did say it was a bomb and everybody looked up it was all black smoke Just finished our staff meeting somebody told us about New York We turn on CNN and all of a sudden I hear a boom myself. Oftentimes in the Pentagon you hear machinery falling or this or that, but this was a little different. And about a minute later somebody ran into the office saying bomb and everybody just starts running out." When George Bush and Al Gore ran for president they had three debates nobody said what are you going to do when twin trade towers come down? The Pentagon's bombed. The Pentagon is bombed.

2:25:07 Yeah, that's great. Season of reveal! None of the millennials believe this...believe that uh...the story. None of them believe it they're like, ah, that's you boomers, you boomers yeah he's-you got hoaxed by that and you know and the one thing that is course our favorite which we've played on the show for a hundred years WTC 7 won't go away I was one of the bullet. Yeah, pull it I got some text messages people say hey Elon Elon's live Elan's live It's something strange about him Elon's life is just did you see this? No So you get a link and the link is to YouTube suspicious by itself And it's alive on YouTube and if you watch long enough you see it repeats

AI Elon Musk Cryptocurrency Scams on YouTube

The hosts warn of sophisticated AI-generated deepfake videos appearing on YouTube that feature Elon Musk promoting cryptocurrency giveaways. While the voice and lip-syncing are increasingly realistic, the lack of Musk's characteristic speech patterns and "ums" serves as a giveaway for the fraud.

2:26:02 And I have a little clip. to celebrate this event and show our appreciation to you, our esteemed followers. I am delighted to announce a special cryptocurrency giveaway." And there's a QR code and then that you know you're buying something that doesn't exist... It was... Well i'd give it a six on the scale of AI fakery

2:26:47 But it was enough for people to text me and say, hey something's up with this. It was the right voice tone but not the right intonation at all. The intonation was off he didn't have any uh-uh I mean he really cannot talk that long without flubbing Yeah exactly exactly That was the giveaway right there And it's much easier when you see him speaking and the mouth was reasonably in sync, but not all the time. It's so easy to understand how people get scammed by this and this cryptocurrency thing I've seen this on X itself where it says Elon, you know, airdrop! I'm air dropping my token!

Google Executive Senate Hearing, AI in Software Development

A Google executive's testimony before the Australian Senate was interrupted by her own phone's AI assistant, highlighting the irony of "responsible AI" discussions. Despite general skepticism, the hosts acknowledge that AI tools are becoming highly effective for local software development and repetitive coding tasks.

google· australian senate· ai· software development· responsible ai

2:27:37 So, a lot of fakery. There was a funny moment that happened in Australia... A Google lady executive, I forget her name She was testifying via... Well what does Google have? Does Google own... They don't have Zoom Maybe it was Zoom, I dunno No it wasn't Zoom Did you see it? No, but I know it was in Zoom because Google would never use it. Well maybe the Australian Senate uses it because there were senators asking this Google lady about AI and responsible AI... Is it responsible? And she's so lame! She is literally reading from her screen You can see her It looks so dumb

2:28:24 But then this happens. Since 2012, our researchers have published more than 300 papers on the topic of responsible AI. So this bonehead's phone all of a sudden starts going that's great yes let's talk about responsible AI! That's a great statement in the middle of her statement and this is exactly what this stupid hearing was about and so the senator comes back and says... Can I ask what interrupted you earlier when you were talking? And we heard

2:29:10 We heard a voice. Is AI helping you on this call? Have you got a screen there that's helping with answers?" I do wish we had an AI screen for that purpose. AI is built into all of Google's products, whether you're doing maps or what are complete in search or helping with drafting your emails and our Google Assistant is and our products on the Google Pixel phones using here in Google is responsible to... That's cute. That's a cute clip. Yeah, I flanged a bit though it's kind of hard to hear. So once a week we do a board meeting which is a podcast we talk to all the podcasting 2.0 developers and there is a very valid use case for AI that goes beyond

2:30:06 You know, the no agenda. Beyond your bigotry against it? Yeah but no agenda art generator is bad songs that we won't play in software development. It apparently is incredibly useful with auto completing with I've heard guys who I've been working with for years say It's like magic. It knew what I want and in software development there is a lot of iteration, repetition sometimes. Yeah it's tedious. Yes, particularly with Pyfire or something for PHP development there are some AI models that are

2:30:54 from what I understand, just phenomenally good at what they do. The funny thing is that most of these are being run locally. It runs on your own machine it doesn't even run in the cloud so while it may be very good I still don't see the big... particularly software development Is this the big market they're going to go after? But it is working well for them and as bigoted as I am I did want to mention that That's a use case. I don't think it's worth $100 billion worth of investment, but they are liking it. Yeah you'd like it too if you had a bunch of cycles backing you up that you weren't paying for! No no... It's running locally Well even so

Botswana Giant Diamond Discovery, Lab-Grown Market

President Mokgweetsi Masisi of Botswana was photographed holding a 2,492-carat diamond, the second-largest ever discovered. The discussion touches on the declining value of natural diamonds as high-quality lab-grown alternatives become more affordable and popular for consumers.

botswana· diamond· mokgweetsi masisi· lab-grown diamonds· de beers

2:31:45 Well, the AI stuff is okay. I run AI models here on a computer at home and you know, I use it for some stuff. You know like someone say can you write me a letter of recommendation? Sure! Works incredibly well. Pretty much works incredibly well for that it really does Yeah, this was a kind of interesting story and I want to get your take on it. On Friday the president of Botswana experienced holding a huge gem A day after Canadian company announced that they had discovered the world's second largest diamond at the Karowe mine in the northeast of Botswana It was so big that President Mogwiti Masisi had to use both hands to hold it And here is his reaction

2:32:47 Both. Both? You have to have both? Yes. So this is the 2,492 carats gold. God is good! God is good?! Are diamonds really worth anything anymore? Seems everyone's going for the lab-grown diamonds these days... I think that diamond's worth something Well that one has got to be worth something But it just... That's a good question. It is probably worth exploring, but the lab grown...it costs money to make a lab-grown diamond and you don't want to get them so big Right Oh there is size limitation on lab grown diamonds? You can't make anything like that! No no no The thing is the size of softball. Huge I know that

2:33:40 But, you know you keep hearing people saying I mean so a really nice engagement ring lab grown diamond 500 bucks versus 5 10 15 thousand and they're just as pretty. You know I think diamonds may be falling out of favor as a store of value we need to talk to an expert or somebody you know to be redundant, but there's somebody who is a producer in our audience that knows exactly... Moishe. Yeah and he's over there in New York. So there's somebody that knows the answer to this it's not a question it's just like we need some background. We're interested how big can you make them? How much do they cost what is the real expense

2:34:35 Is can you really get a one carat? How big is this ring you're describing for 500 bucks. Is it a whole carrot I don't know, but I don't know i've only just heard some reports and people talking about lab-grown. And then I think there's even ads Probably heard an ad like oh honey It's beautiful that's right You know used to be what was the the formula three months salary is what you should spend on, which is a great mind control. Something Formula Women created. Yeah uh-huh yeah and what do you do with this thing? 2 493 carats What do you do with it? That's some rock! You have to break it up. Baby I got good news and bad news Good news is I got a giant rock for ya Bad News Is It's gonna weigh you down

Venezuela Election Ratification, US Political Unrest Fears

Venezuela's top court has ratified the controversial re-election of Nicolás Maduro despite widespread allegations of fraud. The hosts compare the situation to the US political climate, expressing concern that a Donald Trump victory in November could trigger violent protests from activist groups.

venezuela· nicolas maduro· election fraud· antifa· blm· civil unrest

2:35:31 2493 carats. Some joker she put just put a setting around it. Just for one time! Hey, I guess the High Court has finally spoken in Venezuela. Venezuela's top court has ratified the results of what quickly became the most controversial election in the country's recent history. Venezuela held presidential elections on 28 July where longtime president Nicolás Maduro was declared victor despite a slew allegations of fraud and voting irregularities. On the basis of the opinion of highly qualified electoral experts, we verify in an irrefutable and unequivocal manner the results of the presidential election July 28th 2024 where the citizen Nicolas Maduro was elected as president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for the constitutional period 2025 to 2031

2:36:31 Man, that's crazy. I mean it seems like that was pretty rigged even... Yeah and so was the judge. That's what would happen here if we'd keep going in the direction we're going. Trump's new thing is, We're gonna make it too big to rig! Sure good luck. Though I have a Stuart Varney clip. Just before you move on to Stuart Varney I'm at this point, a little more concerned if Trump wins. Why? Because I think the people who we saw at the convention those types and their ascendance no that's not the word what is the term i am looking for Ascendence yeah Ascendance yes ascendance I'm worried they are going to go nuts

2:37:31 They're nuts already. No, but they're violently nuts and Black Lives Matter nuts. Well that's what happened when he first got elected you had the woman in green screaming out from her knees... Yeah but I'm talking about violent causing destruction setting fires Here is my take on that is I agreed with the basic thinking But these soy boys and the guys who were at the Palestinian protests supposed to storm the convention. They don't have the balls to do this stuff." Yeah, maybe you can get some black guys who do it but if you have a lot of black voters that vote for Trump I just think they have what it takes. Hey! Get some black guys to do it!" Okay John... Well thats Antifa or BLM is mostly black guys. No, no. Well okay well whatever in cases they've lost their testosterone and

2:38:25 Democrats appeal to this weenie group. I mean, there was a couple that were showing...I didn't get the video but they're a couple bragging about all the sex they had and it was one of these TikTok's. It was a TikTok with these two delegates and they were bragging about all the sex they had but it would be kind of sexy or have...it was a gay guy in some influencing girl and they were both talking about how much dick they got literally And it was like the gay guy was getting in, and so were she. They weren't having it together these two. And this is like a disgusting group of people are just... they're lost as a loss cause and yeah maybe they want to be violent but they'll just go back into their hole. Oh there you go! Back into your hole? It would be disappointing for them but if you remember Rachel Maddow crying when Trump got elected 2016. Oh it will be great for show

Man-on-the-Street Interview, Kamala Harris Support

A viral man-on-the-street interview features a young Kamala Harris supporter who claims the Vice President will "lower everyone's income" and that Donald Trump "started World War III." The hosts use the clip to illustrate what they perceive as the illogical nature of some partisan support.

2:39:22 These people are pathetic. It'll be great for them, either way it's great for the show I mean here is the kind of people you get, i have a clip This is just a casual man on the street guy trying to get a job but this man on the street is a kid and he's interviewing some pro-kamala person and this where it goes Trump or Kamala? Kamala I like her and i'm a democrat. And why do you like her? Because she will be a good female president, and I would love to have a good female president for the US! What do you think she'll do good for our country? She'll actually help our country more than Donald Trump would do because she is smart and she's more reliable

2:40:06 And what do you think are some exact things she'd do? She'll do lower income and lower taxes. So she'd lower everyone's income? Yes. Is that a good thing? That is a good thing What do you think about Donald Trump? Donald Trump is the worst president in the whole wide world How come Because he hurt the Capitol building and he started World War III Alright, here we go Step back You deserve it My lord Kamala will lower your income That's a good thing And Trump hurt the Capitol building Oh, that was great

Election Predictions, Debate Strategy, Tulsi Gabbard

Predictions for the 2024 election suggest a potential Trump victory if the status quo remains, though the upcoming September 10th debate on ABC is seen as a critical turning point. Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly assisting Trump with debate prep, potentially using the same aggressive techniques she used against Harris in the 2020 primaries.

2024 election· presidential debate· tulsi gabbard· mike pence· abc news

2:40:44 Well, you know what? You want to make predictions about the election. You want it or do you want to step it up? Do you wanna make predictions? It might be a little premature... Sure I'll make a prediction! Let's just say if everyone stays alive and that's on both sides If everyone stays alive as it is today so with Vance as VP, Waltz as VP. Trump is P and Harris is P and then we throw in Bobby the op that he'll stay in and do his stuff for Trump what do you think? Yeah I think so too. I think big well yeah I don't know but I mean I think he could win big if they don't try to fix it

2:41:31 Even if they try to fix it, I think that's going to be too hard now. If it stays status quo anything could happen there could be some huge distraction obviously but today as of today you're right It would surprise me if he doesn't win And we still have another what, 75-80 days to go. Yeah, seven. They still haven't talked to Kamala and who knows what's going to happen at the debate? I mean he could get drugged and pull a Biden...I don't know! The debate will be the turning point because if she has to talk

2:42:12 then the vote... her support disappears if she actually has to talk. The thing is, you have to remember this and I would like to go back and check this out when she debated Pence, she beat him. What did? I don't remember! I do. And it was... Pence was glib he was arrogant. He'd be...Pence's got no personality. He was no good. I think Pence technically should have won because he said better things than he had But he was just this, he's like a robot. He is terrible! He doesn't have the personality like Avance has...a lot of personalities. He's got tons of personality. What if we were advising the Harris campaign which let's face it I'll never get that gig

2:42:59 That's for sure. What would we advise her to do in a debate with Trump? What would be the way to do it, what is her strength, what is her superpower that she can use I don't see it...I think you have to go back and examine what she did to Pence and it was mostly blocking blocking and tackling, not tackling but blocking whatever argument he had denying what the opponent says and then lying a lot. I only have One clip very short from that we have from the Pence Kamala debate. Let's see what it is pulling back regulation Thank you energy fighting for free and fair trade and all of us Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, you know That's a good segue into our third. No, I was saying that's nothing but I don't I don't even remember her debating

2:43:57 debate. Let me see... I do and i think that was the debate where the fly landed on him remember that? That was good! He's wandering around it on his hair and here and there, he was oblivious The guy was no good but I mean Pence And then he had the gall to think that he could run for president and... He was just a guy with the hollow shell of a man. Here's Kamala on Donald Trump, let's see what this is also short. Pelosi has said that members of Congress have to be in her words fair to the President and give him a chance to exonerate himself you've already said that based on everything you've seen you would vote remove him from office is that being fair to the President?

2:44:37 Well, it's just being observant because he has committed crimes in plain sight. I mean it's shocking but he told us who he was Maya Angelou told us years ago listen to somebody when they tell you who they are the first time during that election Donald Trump told us He could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it So that's probably what she'll do should just keep bringing up all these things very fine. Yeah, the tropes Yeah, the tropes the tropes yeah, yeah, we find people is good, losers and suckers. And he has consistently since he won been selling out the American people he's been selling out working people he's been selling our values he's been selling out national security and on this issue with Ukraine he has been selling at our democracy yeah but it's different when she asked actually face him she didn't face him so hmm I don't know

2:45:29 I don't know. But if she gets under his skin and he starts going off, that'll be bad for him Yeah and she could do that She's annoying yeah yes she can do that Now he is having Tulsi Gabbard help him So I hear on the debates supposedly And they asked her about this in one of their shows and she said well you know there isn't much I can do because He's got a style and I can help here and there. I don't know if she's... because she's, Tulsi Gabbard was very good at getting under people skins that she got under Kamala's skin and hopefully Trump will use the same technique she did maybe that's what she's there for Let me see it was Tulsi

2:46:14 Kamala? No, Kamala. I have a bunch of...I had a couple shows ago I had Tulsi attacks Kamala's record here we go so let's talk about the debates last night because you said Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president but i'm deeply concerned about this record There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought

2:47:04 You know if they go back and forth, are they even doing a debate? I mean I hear Trump saying that she pulled out and she won't do the debate. And there's all kinds of noise about that... That's only the Fox debate. Oh okay She won't do a Fox debate. She got friendly fire at ABC Yeah And ABC will cover for her so that's not good And so they're gonna do the ABC debate even though Trump has them in litigation. Yeah, Trump should just run on his economic record during his four years and that's it? Then not go ahead... That's not going to happen. Oh God! Are these debates on show days by any chance? Well the one that we're talking about is the 10th of September so we can look that up. Okay, 10th of September. Yes

Atlantic Ocean Cooling, Oregon Housing Grants

NOAA data indicates the Atlantic Ocean is cooling at a "mysteriously fast rate," contradicting standard global warming narratives. In Oregon, a taxpayer-funded group called Hacienda Community Development Corporation is reportedly offering $30,000 home-buying grants exclusively to non-US citizens, including DACA recipients and asylees.

2:47:57 My friend, my heart skipped a beat when I first read this. Tuesday? Oh there's Trump with Marjorie Taylor Greene in front of the Trump plane okay it's another text message. I hate you people! Hey just news came out very very troubling The Atlantic Ocean is cooling at a mysteriously fast rate Cooling? That's not... that's bullcrap. That's not global warming! In June, temperatures in the Atlantic were 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than normal in much of the ocean with some areas getting as much as 9 degrees warmer than average Those temperatures weren't a one-off as The Atlantic had regularly seen record breaking levels since March 2023 However NOAA data shows Atlantic sea surface temperatures have cooled at a surprising rate since May

2:48:51 Oh no! They don't and they can't, the new scientists they can't explain it. Sunspots? Well shhh... Yeah they can't that no one has looked at the sun they haven't looked for any of this. Heaven forbid the sun be taken into account you want to do your Varney clip before we get out of here so yeah this is a last clip before I get to the break It's a good clip, it's about giving away our money. Oh yay! A taxpayer funded group is offering $30 000 to new home buyers. Yeah Lauren you cannot apply if you're an American citizen what's with that? Why would an American citizen apply for a taxpayer funded program to get 30 000 dollars for a new home I mean

Economic Advisors, Final Donor Credits, Birthday Wishes

2:49:34 It's wild. The group is called Hacienda Community Development Corporation, they offer payment assistance in Oregon to DACA recipients, asylees green card holders basically any non-US citizen This is state sponsored discrimination Stuart that's what it is I mean its crazy That their goal They want to open up housing and the American dream to non US citizens Okay, I guess that's the reason why we have an open border because eventually these folks will vote and vote Democrat because they're the people who let them in. That's what this is about Part of me wants to say crazy things happen in Oregon but I think this will go far beyond Oregon There is a critical shortage of houses across United States particularly in Oregon And then they are giving 30k to non-taxpayers Yeah which will raise the price for houses For everybody else

2:50:27 Hey, who's Trump's economic guide? He doesn't seem to have someone out there with economic chops. Where's Kudlow? Well, Kudlow is still doing his show. Mnuchin showed up at the Republican convention to hang out. I don't know who he was going to use. Yeah, Mnuchin and you can't use... Oh man! What's his face? The Mooch. Scaramucci on Horowitz' show, the discipline investor... Oh he hates Trump! Which sends me how did that happen and why?

CHAPTER 42 / 43 Discussion

Tip of the Day, Enzyme Detergents and Soaking

The "Tip of the Day" focuses on the effectiveness of enzyme-based laundry detergents for removing organic stains like grass and blood. The hosts explain that while these products require long soaking times (2 to 24 hours) in cold water, they provide superior cleaning and energy savings compared to standard detergents.

laundry· enzyme detergent· pro-enzyme· cold wash· stain removal

3:05:45 So in the 60s and 70s, there was this fad. It never caught on but it came out of Europe because we are eliminating the phosphates from detergent because they were causing all kinds of algae blooms everywhere cause they were basically poisoning the rivers. And so phosphates were taken out of detergents and I got a lecture from a guy at Procter & Gamble about this, he says that's why you never buy powdered detergents by liquid because the substitutes for these phosphate we're always you couldn't make it into a powder anymore, you had to just buy liquid detergent. So buying powdered detergents is no good. Not necessarily true with the competition which was an enzyme product. These were promoted in the 60s and 70s. Bizz was one of the big names which has been bought and sold and then reformulated I don't even know if it has enzymes anymore but enzymes require they use cold water

3:06:46 And you have to soak the clothes for like hours. Oh, and is that when they turned marketing around said cold wash? That part of it Yeah They came up with the coal wash stuff But but cold wash really works best whether using enzymes and so I use pro enzyme I've had good luck with that But there's other brands you have to do a little research and find something you like But the problem is you do have to soak. So you get your wash going and then you have to soak for like anywhere from two to 24 hours, so it's inconvenient for the public. Nobody wants to do this but it will take grass stains out It will take blood out if you have...

3:07:30 Yes, especially if you have a lot of blood on your clothes. You never know and it takes all this stuff out That's why the enzymes eat away at stuff that normally you can't get rid of With normal washing which is sometimes just sets the stain So look into enzyme And I remembered that we had a discussion about using fabric softeners and you finally got off with that kick Years ago... I was using the washing machine balls And the nuts, the nuts in the sack. What were those nuts? The washing nuts I don't remember it was bad. Oh yeah. That's a scene that came into my life and she said you know this great and everything but we can have these washing nuts is no good here. You got to go tie it. So anyway people should look into enzyme detergents but it does require soaking and its issues

3:08:21 It became popular in Europe because it's an energy saver. You don't use hot water and it does clean, and it brightens the pose too. And do you have a brand that you recommend of these enzymes? Yeah Pro-Enzyme. But there are other brands and there may be better ones. There is ladies and gentlemen your tip for the day! Hey everybody thanks for coming out tonight we got one more for ya its called The Tip by Adam Curry & John Cena Hey for those of you listening on troll room dot io or hanging out on one of those modern podcast apps the stream continues up next we have where are these broadcasters? Huck tall to the ballgame by the way It's a great name for a microphone in our line the hook Tom Mike I think we should have a hookah mic special Put it under list here. Okay, but suggestions along with the valve mic

I think you're nuts off movement Well... No wait wait let's work on a little bit of campaigning here for second We need a chant so

3:10:23 Uh, ho! How about hey-hey? Ho-ho. Your balls have got to go. Hey-hey. Ho-ho Let's do something a little more subtle Don't be dazzled. Don't be silly Save the Earth Slip your willy A small house, no cows Planets not ours Not a leather fireplane, or driver car it's all the same. So cut your nuts off! Yeah, cut your nuts off! Cut your nuts off to save the planet! Cut your nuts off to save the planet! And it's perfect- It's a perfect time to shame men into doing this Get the climate back Snip your sack I mean there are a million things we can come up with

3:11:16 Push the climate back. It's easy, snip your sack! I mean there are just so many we can do. Going off the deep end, it's torturing My screen time is up even on the weekend I can't seem to put my phone down. I could read this tomorrow No! I gotta know now We're living in the greatest movie of all time I don't wanna miss a scene, i dont wanna slow down Every fourth Halloween, I dont even dress up Cause every fourth Halloween, I become a whole clown Political junkie addicted to the news cycle So excited waiting for next roll out

3:12:12 Man, election season I hate myself So embarrassing. I become someone else Possessed by demons I should get some help This has gotta be detrimental to my health Adam and John please save me! I feel like the world's trying to drive me crazy Twice a week is good, but I could use y'all daily. If nothing else just during election season. Cause i get so stressed out in election season Sometimes I wish I was sleeping Like the majority of this country living in dimension B and I get so stressed out in elections

3:12:48 season. No doubt going off the deep end, it's torturing my screen times up even on the weekend and when it's over no matter the conclusion I will make a bunch of promises to myself that I probably won't keep like a new year's resolution like next time I don't care who is running I'm not gonna do this Four years later at a Sunday service, losing my mind. Listening to Kanye tell me that this is the most important election of our lifetime and you know I'm right back in it. I will fall victim to election season just a slave to the system listening to no agenda break it down with their never-ending wisdom thinking what if this country gave into that Kanye vision?

3:13:31 I could think of worse directions to be driven When Trump won, that was such a breaking tradition To make the decision to run away from these lifelong politicians. I'm already getting so stressed out in election season Sometimes i wish i was sleeping Like the majority of this country living in dimension B and I get so stressed out in election season No doubt going off the deep end It's torturing My screen time is up even on the weekend The best podcast in the universe! Ayo, mofo. Dvorak dot org slash N-A... A joke?
