00:00 Return of the sausages! Man. Friends of mine in New York are like, our God is good. They are really loving the Eric Adams saga. Unbelievable.

00:47 Yes, but what is it? Oh, well, it's completely not known. That's the beauty of it. It's like what? No, wait, no, of course not. We don't it's like all that's ever mentioned is well, you know some some donation money from Turkey Turkey actually I On one of the clips I didn't clip it but they flashed up countries that had somehow participated in illegal campaign donations, and they had five flags. China, Turkey, Israel, um... How is this? There's two more. But that doesn't seem to be what this is about at all. I mean, there's so much going on in New York. Yeah, hold on a second. Let me... I have a couple of short clips about it. Breaking!

01:41 We begin with breaking news this evening and the political earthquake that is rocking New York City. Sources telling CNN that Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on at least one federal, federal criminal charge. The indictment is now under seal so the nature of the charges is unclear as we are sitting here tonight. But we do know that Mayor Adams has been the center of a corruption investigation for months. The feds have been looking into possible campaign fundraising violations and foreign influence. Adams, the former cop turned Democratic mayor, has previously denied any wrongdoing and remains defiant tonight. I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit. If I'm charged,

02:29 I know I'm innocent. I love this statement. If I'm charged, I know I'm innocent. I don't know what it's about, but I'm innocent. I'm innocent. Request an immediate trial so the New Yorkers can hear the truth. The mayor's administration has been plagued with resignations as of late, which has led to a steady call for him to step down even before this has happened. Calls will only grow louder after tonight, of course, with Adams now becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal federal charges. Not just federal, but federal federal charges. There's something much bigger going on. I mean, it just seems so obvious. And it was only a few days ago when they went to arrest a former prosecutor and judge in Orange County, New York.

03:20 They showed up, the troopers showed up and the guy kills himself. I mean, the only time people do that when the Fed show up is if you're involved in some kind of kiddie porn. That's always, always the case. And it kind of fits with another numbnut, which kudos to Crowder. Oh, there's a title for you. Kudos to Crowder. Kudos to Crowder. Nobody can forget when COVID left thousands of New Yorkers dead and also forced much of the city to shut down and prompted mask mandates, social distancing and vaccination mandates. Those policies were written in part by senior health advisor Dr. Jay Varma. Even the most rare events. That's him at City Hall three years ago, the same place where dozens of teachers, firefighters,

04:12 EMTs and other city workers who lost their jobs for not getting vaccinated or for other COVID protocol violations gathered Monday at midday. I could care less what he does, but he affected my freedom and my ability to make a living. Dr. Jay Varma said he had to be involved in drug fueled sex parties, which I don't care about, but he needed that to be his authentic self. Oh, what about my authentic self? They talk about undercover video of Varma released last week by the conservative website Louder with Crowder, in which Varma said that while the rest of the city was ordered to socially distance, mask up and get vaccinated, he was at group sex parties and other gatherings. Bring Dr. Varma in for an oversight hearing to hold him accountable

05:00 Varma did not respond to our request for comment, but did say in a public statement after the video was released, Unfortunately, I was targeted by an operative for an extremist right-wing organization determined to malign public health officials. I participated in two private gatherings. I take responsibility for not using the best judgment at the time. I can't help but think this is all related to Diddy. I just can't help it. You know, it's like this is clean up. Something weird's going on. This guy... Ah! There it is. We're 11-11. Thank you. Finally. Yeah, we're even. Stephen, 11-11. Right at the top of the show. Yes. W-word. There's something screwy about this and this guy who's an obvious creep. Dr. Varma? Yeah. Varma. Varmush. Varma. Varma. So racist. What I think is interesting is that the people who report this, they all say,

05:58 Well, it's not that it's a bad thing to have a sex party. No, it's fine! It's not that that's a bad thing, but... and then they go on and on, but... In a basement. I don't know. In a basement under a bank. Maybe it is a bad thing. Well, in a basement under a bank. For a health department official to be screwed aimlessly, you know, in a sex orgy? This doesn't sound like a health department guy. If you know these guys, they're freaked out about everything. You probably got mpocs. Now this this feels like cleanup and everybody in New York knows that all Eric Adams does is swagger Swagger in the club. Where's our guy? Which guy? Our Eric Adams impersonator. Oh Wow, that's a good point. Our guy should be all over this. Oh, maybe he quit

06:45 I think he should stop listening to this show. Maybe it was actually Eric Adams. But he can't do it anymore because he's going... That's Mark Anthony. He's going to the slammer. This is... No, and the fact that no one's focusing on the actual... charges, which I guess are being revealed. How can you focus on them when they don't give them to you? Exactly. So, but it seems backwards and all they're doing is just getting everybody, they're sweeping everybody, including his lawyer. This is a non-info clip, but it does

07:21 talk about everybody who's somehow wrapped up in scandal surrounding the New York mayor. Here are just some of the faces of the people who've had their homes searched or their phones seized over the last year as part of multiple federal investigations. They're all closely connected to Mayor Eric Adams, from his police commissioner Edward Caban, who resigned, to the man he appointed as head of schools, David Banks, who announced his retirement Two Banks' domestic partner, the mayor's first deputy mayor, Sheena Wright. By the way, that guy's like 80, she's 25. That's, I mean, I don't want to be one to call someone out on huge age differences, but kind of weird. Ah! Damn!

08:08 What crap? What did you just do? I don't know. I'm out of control. 12 for me, 11 for you. I'm sad. I finally evened the score. Don't worry, you'll screw up later. And Mayor Adams, former head of fundraising, Breonna Suggs. They're all part of at least three separate but related federal inquiries. Did he say but related? But related. And Mayor Adams, former head of fundraising, Breonna Suggs. First of all, Breonna sucks. What is this a clown show? What are they doing here? New York is nuts. And Mayor Adams former head of fundraising, Brianna Suggs. They're all part of at least three separate but related federal inquiries. But related? I mean it's...

08:54 The first started back in November with Suggs when the Fed searched the mayor's phone. I think it's S-U-double-G-S. Yes, but it sounds funny. The chief of fundraising's home. The FBI and US Attorney aren't releasing any information about the investigations, but sources say they're looking into whether improper campaign donations were made to the mayor's 2021 campaign. So really? That's what this is about? I think they're stealing money. I think it's not about child sex at all. Hello, it's New York. Of course they're stealing money. They're pressuring people. Well, let's back up a little bit. When the mayor decided to go after the Biden administration for sending all these migrants, that's when this all began. That's when this started. And they said, oh yeah, hold my beer.

09:42 May I? Hold my beer. Watch what we do now. We're gonna... It's the season of review. You're not on board? Let me show you something. It's the season of review. Let me show you a little trick. There's a quarter behind your ear. Yeah, watch this. And whether he received illegal donations from citizens or government officials in other countries. The mayor has maintained his innocence. Well, that's kind of interesting because we know that that was in 20... Was it 2012 I think that was Obama's trick is credit cards from foreign countries. Yeah What Harris is using that's where she's got twice as much money as Trump. So maybe they have to pin all this on him

10:21 I don't know. He's going down for something. The mayor has maintained his innocence and has encouraged everyone to cooperate in the investigation. The other accusations involve using personal relationships to get work with the city and other lucrative contracts. James Caban, twin brother of former police commissioner Edward Caban, is under investigation for possibly using his relationship in order to get work providing security to nightclubs. Commissioner Caban resigned, calling the investigations a distraction. They both denied doing anything wrong. A third probe involves the three Banks brothers. Terrence Banks, the youngest brother of David and Philip, launched a consulting firm to connect businesses to government officials. Public records show. What a great gig that is.

11:15 A consulting firm to connect... What? Public records show some of those companies received millions of dollars. David and Philip launched a consulting firm to connect businesses to government officials. That's a great business! Yeah, it's what Hunter Biden did. Yes! Public records show some of those companies received millions of dollars in city contracts. Even a personal meeting with his brother, the school's chancellor. Plus, Philip Banks, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety, used to own a security company. A company which, after it was sold, was awarded a multi-million dollar housing contract. Nice. Philip's brother's domestic partner, the Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright... So his domestic partner was the Deputy Mayor? ...sat on the board that approved the contract. Nice.

12:00 Both David and Terrence have said they're not targets of the investigation, and an attorney for Philip Banks has said his client has zero criminal liability. Meanwhile, other leaders who do not appear to be a part of the investigations have since announced their resignations. Those include the health commissioner and the top legal advisor to Mayor Adams, City Hall Chief Counsel Lisa Zornberg, who announced abruptly saying she can no longer effectively serve in her position. It's like the Black Sopranos. This is so amazing. So back to the thesis that this is all stemming from his rebuke of the Biden administration sending migrants to New York City to like 10x more than Abbott did. Yeah. If you listen to his plea, the one he did at his press conference where he says, he says, they're after me because I've been standing up for the people of New York, of New York City, which is exactly what he did when he rebuked the Biden administration for sending all these

12:59 you know, tens of thousands of migrants into New York City and said, here, you pick up the tab. So, you know, the elections are not that far away. He could ride it out or...and even having AOC call for him to resign. But if he resigns, I think it's...which by the way, Kathy Hochul, the governor, she can remove him. We'll see if that happens. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. She has the ability to remove the mayor from office, but the governor's power to replace New York City's mayor has never been used. Okay. It's never been used before, but she does have the option. And the person, if he resigns, then the public advocate becomes temporary mayor. Who's this?

13:54 Hmm. Some person named Williams. Don't know who it is. But I mean, you know, New York has always been corrupt. But how disappointing that this former cop is. You know, I had kind of high hopes for him in the beginning. Yeah. Until we started hearing the mockery of his silly voice. Yeah. That was unfortunate. Didn't really have. You need a voice. He had a more serious sound to himself. I think it'd be better. Yeah. Well, we might as well get these two Diddy clips out of the way while we're at it because just so much seems related to Diddy parties and to the wickedness of Hollywood and politics. It's all intertwined.

14:44 So now you got me watching TMZ again. Back in 2002 this video has now resurfaced of him talking to Conan O'Brien and they start talking about how to make your party the best party possible. And Diddy starts running down everything you need for the perfect party. Women, beautiful women. You need some water. You need alcohol. You need a lot of heat. Goes up a nice little sweat. That just sounds disgusting. Not compared to this next part. Any locks on the doors? This is sounding kind of dangerous now. 2002 Conan, you have no idea. What? It's disturbing. He didn't crack a cell.

15:25 And that's not the only old ditty clip that's resurfaced. Years ago, Ellen asked him about his parties. There's bodyguards coming out talking about stuff they've seen. There's just so much. It's a rich environment if you're TMZ.

16:10 Yeah, TMZ I think is a front for something. Ever since we listened to TMZ promote the idea that Beyonce was going to be at the Democratic National Convention, she had good authority. That was obviously bullcrap and they knew it. So TMZ is doing everything on TMZ is politically motivated in some way, shape or form. Well, we still have just so much unresolved noise about I mean even pizza gate is being brought up again, and I'm sorry why not yeah well exactly and then you know all of a sudden we have this Ryan Wesley Ruth guy

16:56 Who's pointing his gun through the bushes and then they pick up his son. The son of the suspect in the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump now facing serious charges of his own. Orrin Ralph is under arrest on child pornography charges. FBI agents took him into custody this week after searching his home in Greensboro, North Carolina. Authorities say they found hundreds of files of child sexual abuse images. According to the FBI, the arrest has nothing to do with Ryan Routh's alleged assassination plot at a golf course in Florida earlier this month. You see the picture of that guy? No, I missed this. Is he a creep? Yeah, he looks like a hysterical, I hate to say it, Democrat.

17:44 just really looks like it. Well he's probably an hysterical democrat which is I don't know why you hate to say it. Well because I mean because not all Democrats are- You sound bigoted. Yeah well there you go. What's his name? What's his name? I want to look at his picture. His name is... what's his name? I don't know. Well, it's in here. It's in there. The son of the suspect in the second assassination attempt of Donald Trump now facing serious charges of his own, Orrin Ralph. Orrin. Orrin. I think it's... Oh, God. Who names their kid Orrin? I think it's O-R-A-N for some reason. Orrin. Yeah. Is it R-O-U-T-H? Is that the... Yes, R-O-U-T-H. The whole thing. Son of Ryan. Ryan arrested. The whole thing. You see a picture of him?

18:33 I'm looking, looking. And I think the reason... Oh, there he is. Oh my God. I like the picture of the cocked head at his mugshot. I think the reason why I think he looks like a hysterical Democrat is because he looks a lot like that Austin comedian who plays a hysterical Democrat with the long hair, kind of reddish hair. What's his name? I don't know. The guy's pretty funny. He's been around for years. Can't remember his name. No, maybe the patrol room can, yeah. Yeah. That's what they're there for. Yeah, well, they're not on the ball today. Yeah, they're not. No, they're just not on the ball. No, not... no, no. Anyway, it just feels like everything is somehow related. It's the great reveal. It's the season of reveal, not the great reveal. It's the season of reveal! Yeah.

19:26 I got a clip to... I got a related clip. Okay. Which will lead me into a presentation. Ah, alright. Thanks for cueing me up. This is Trudeau on the Kobera show. This is great. Great meeting you. It must be nice being in front of a dumb American audience who applaud you because they have no idea how hate and incompetent you actually are. So welcome to America. Glad to be here. Glad to be here. Now, so do all Canadians hate you? Yes, they do. Good, just to make sure you know. Might be part of why I'm here. Is that because you literally shut down people's bank accounts in 2022 like a dictator might?

20:03 Well, as many know, my real father is Fidel Castro, one of the greatest authoritarians of the... Okay, and hopefully you know that I realize this is AI. Clearly. Well, I would hope so. Yeah, by the way, J.P. Sears is the comedian. 20th century. I don't think so. Oh, okay. No, it's true. You see, my father was the prime minister during the 1970s and my mom wasn't a huge fan of his, similar to how all Canadians hate me. So she was cheating on him quite a bit. She would hang out at Studio 54 here in New York City. She banged Mick Jagger famously and shortly before I was born, she snuck down to Havana to get smashed by my biological father Fidel. This podcast is now illegal in the state of California. And then I was born nine months later.

20:52 just look at a side-by-side photo of me and Fidel Castro. The resemblance is uncanny. That's where I think I get my authoritarian nature from. That actually makes a lot of sense. Comedian Shane Gillis just performed in Toronto last week, and while doing an impersonation of Drumpf, he called you the F-slur that is generally reserved for homosexuals, but truly is more appropriate for someone like you, and received a lengthy applause break. People in Canada really hate me. I'd be surprised if my approval rating was over 20% at this point. So what's next for you? There's an election in Canada coming up next year, right? They're trying to call one sooner as again people really hate me from coast to coast.

21:31 My plan is to delay until next year and then get absolutely smoked in the election and then focus on my true passion of doing various types of brown and blackface. I really want to explore the medium. Dictator Justin Trudeau, everyone. We'll be right back after the break with the guy that sold Diddy all his baby oil. Okay, all right. What was the point? I was okay. It wasn't the best. It was okay. Trudeau I think is good. I don't think the Colbert voices is good, but the voice that's out there that I think is the is the one we're gonna hear a lot of

22:10 because of Newsom is the AI Newsom voice and every show I'm trying to keep bringing these up because I know they're illegal. Yes, in your state, in your state only. They're okay in Texas. Well we're gonna play this for Texas audience. If you're in California please do not listen to this. No, you're not allowed to listen in California. No. Okay, so what are we playing here? AI Newsom. Okay. Hi, I'm Gavin Newsom and I'm definitely not gay. A lot of people are criticizing me for banning AI generated political videos So let me explain the problem is that Democrats like me we're not the brightest bulbs in the tanning bed We can't always distinguish between reality and fiction when Elon Musk posted mr. Reagan's brilliant comeuppance

22:55 a fifth How would we know the 2020 election was totally legitimate with zero fraud? How would we know that January 6th was an armed insurrection where many police officers lost their lives? How would we know that the COVID vaccines had zero side effects and that masks were 100% effective? How would we know Kamala brilliantly invented her very own original idea, no tax on tips, or that I'm totally not gay? And eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.

24:00 How would we know that Trump wrote Project 2025 or that Trump staged both of his assassination attempts? And how would we know that Trump is literally Hitler? Reincarnation is definitely a thing. Hitler died in 1945. Trump was born in 1946. Coincidence? I think not. How would we know that all of that is true if we don't ban Mr. Reagan's AI parody videos? How would we know that we should all drink the Kool-Aid? We won't know. Because Mr. Reagan's AI parody videos are a threat to our democracy. They spread dangerous disinformation. Unlike all of the super true stuff that we Democrats tell you. And also, most importantly, I'm definitely not gay. Okay, I'm trying to figure out where your presentation is going.

24:38 But where it's going is what you did last show, which is leading me to the notebook LM. Oh God. Oh man. All four minutes and 55 seconds of it? No, you're just going to play the beginning. Okay. That's not what you're playing. Okay. Here's what I fed it. And I want you to set a timer. I'm going to read what I fed it. Before we play it you get it get a timer going and I'm gonna read this you should run around you mean it's like a stopwatch timer Yeah, okay. Hold on a second. We get to stopwatch and Go

25:17 A discussion of political ideology by Seymour Butz, professor of ideology, University of California. In the up-and-coming election, we have two diverse candidates, Donald Trump, the notorious Republican, and Kamala Harris, the notorious Democrat. Trump lies a lot about everything. Harris lies a lot about everything. Both candidates want your vote. End of in-depth analysis. 21 seconds. 21 seconds is what I got. Okay. So I gave it this 21 second read. You read this or you gave it the written word? The text. Yes. And that was the exact text you gave it? Exact text. Okay. Now, that text which I read in 21 seconds, now what is the total length of the clip it gave me back when I asked for it? 4 minutes and 55 seconds. Now how does that work, you think? Well, it's a deep dive.

26:11 So, this is supposed to be a note-taking piece of software. So it's supposed to summarize what I just said. And we just read it, it's 21 seconds worth of pretty much nonsense. It's just neutral. Trump and Harris were presented exactly the same way by Seymour Butz. Okay. So I put it into, and by the way, I'm going to put this together as a substack column, but probably come out Monday. Oh, I can't wait to put that in a notebook LM and make a podcast out of it.

26:47 It'll probably be for me. This, this ridiculous nonsense. For one thing, they stretch the little that I said here very little and then they start adding their own material. You can cut this off around the two minute mark when they started adding, they start just making stuff up. Welcome back to the, wait, wait, that was my timing was perfect. This, this, yeah, this is, This is a disgusting display of the slanted nature of Google at this point in history. What? Google sent it? Yes, yes. It's a fact. There's gambling going on over there? Oh no! Welcome back to the Deep Dive. Ready to dive into something timely? We're tackling this upcoming election and wow, the sources you sent in, they really paint a picture, you know, especially when it comes to, well, honesty in politics. That's definitely a hot topic. Yeah, no kidding. Hot topic, hot tip! So Trump versus Harris, round two, right? We've got Professor Seymour Butts' analysis and he doesn't hold back.

27:50 That's putting it mildly right and I have to say I kind of love that about him You know the his directness exactly like right off the bat. He calls both Trump and Harris Notorious not exactly glowing praise, right? He's framing the entire conversation right from the beginning he's telling us we're dealing with two figures who shall we say have a reputation and then he just comes right out and says it they both lie and Like a lot. He does. And it's almost jarring, is jarring in a world of political spin where everyone's trying to be so careful with their words. But just cuts through the BS, which honestly is kind of refreshing. You know, like we all know what happens. This whole truth stretching thing in politics. Yeah. But to see someone actually call it out, it's almost cathartic. Like he's giving us permission to be skeptical, to question what we're being told. Exactly. But here's the thing. Skepticism is one thing, but it can't just lead to apathy. Right.

28:44 Yeah, politicians lie, whatever. I'm not voting. That doesn't help anything. Absolutely. And Butts addresses that head on. He argues that this skepticism, this awareness of how often politicians bend the truth, it should actually make us more engaged, not less. So it's like he's saying, don't be a cynic, be a critical thinker. Because when we're aware of the potential for manipulation, we're less likely to fall for it. No, we start to look deeper, do our own research and demand better from our leaders. Which is so important, especially given all the strategies, let's call them, that politicians use. Oh, absolutely. You said over that study on common campaign tactics, right? That stuff about dogmas of politics, cherry picking data. It's fascinating. What? Did they actually say butts stretched it? Did they say that? Yes, they did. Butts. Yeah.

29:36 Yeah, so this is what I said. The fact that I got Seymour Butts in there. Yeah, no, that's good. That's good. That was good. I have to pat myself on the back for that. But they go on and on and on and they bring up the dog whistle comes up next. Never mentioned, none of this was ever mentioned. They are making it up as they go along. And this is supposed to be a summary. If you look at the notebook LM, It's supposed to be a notebook. You're supposed to be able to, you know, it's supposed to help you with organizing your notes. This is not nothing. Here's the notes I gave you, 21 seconds. And they come up with all this stuff about dog whistles and what Harris's background is like, the whole thing. It is complete, a complete fabrication. These are not my notes. We'll have the full five minutes in the show notes at noagendashow.net.

30:29 Well, yes, this is the AI is obviously pre-prompted just when I tried to get some answers out of it about model collapse and entropy. And it said, well, according to some other sources I pulled in that you didn't supply me. No, that's not what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to only use those sources that I gave you. But I have new thoughts on AI. I'm actually quite happy you did this. I want everyone to be doing as much AI as possible. I want to flood the internet. Well, our artists are already doing it. Yes, especially social networks, Reddit, as much AI generated text, images, video. We need to put as much out there while the companies are trying to catch up.

31:20 Yeah, you're basically advocating for a poison pill. Yes, I want to. Well, it's called a slop. It's called AI slop. I want to flood the models. I want to collapse the models. And the great side or result of this will be these AI companies going broke trying to sustain their models. because they need more power, more energy, more CPUs. By the way, it's not coincidental that the first real so-called AI things that we see are images and videos because it comes from a chip developed by a company that developed... That does images and video. Yeah, that developed graphic processors for video and images for video games.

32:10 So more slop more of the time I heard on CNBC. I couldn't catch it for a clip Anthropic one of the AI companies guess what their cost is per API call to one of their large language models I have no idea 35 cents 35 cents for each API call you're making They are running so fast trying to come up with the golden goose or whatever it is to have the ultimate, you know, the authoritative AI. Meanwhile, I have to give Zuckerberg some props. He's fighting them in a different way. The meta large language model, which is Lama, la la la Lama, la la la Lama. They just put it out open source.

33:02 They're like, oh, you guys, you go pay all that money and then we're just going to give this to everybody to play around with at home. So they don't, you know, because I have L-L-L-Lama and it does some things, you know, I can put in, give me an HTML page with this code embedded in it, it does that. It's okay, you know, but 35 cents an API call is not okay. One of our producers took a page out of your notebook, LM, And he uploaded the manual to his Sony XAV 1500, which is a head unit for your automobile. And they made a podcast out of it. OK, so you're about to install a new car stereo. Had the tools ready, got the excitement building, but

33:51 Before you toss those instruction manuals aside. Yeah, hold on. Hold on. Don't do that. We're actually diving into that often ignored treasure trove of knowledge today with the Sony XAV 1500E manual. Yeah, because honestly, those manuals are way more interesting than people give them credit for. It's not just about connecting wires. It's about unlocking a whole world of features and understanding the tech that's shaping the modern driving experience. Shaping the modern driving experience. It's true. And this manual, well let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint. I mean where else are you going to find a warning about not eating batteries right off?

34:27 You know, they have, you can stop it for a second. They have these stock phrases. It does, I see more butts according to him doesn't disappoint. He's stretching the butts. Doesn't disappoint is one of their main little catchphrases. Yes. I just love how they're making the manual reading entertaining. Seriously, page one safety precautions and boom, there it is. Do not ingest the battery. She also says boom a lot. But did you hear what she said? Listen to this. Seriously, page one safety precautions and boom, there it is. Do not ingest the battery. OK, then. I mean, I get it. Safety first and all. But still, it's not every day you see that. No, it's not just every day. She don't ingest the battery. Oh, man. It's so cool. I love it. I love it.

35:17 And of course, the reason why, I mean, please, more AI art on the art generator, please. You can't ask for that because... What do you mean? It's all AI art. You know, Grok, which is a part of X, you know, it's feeding on itself. So upload all your AI stuff to X. Make sure that Grok is the first one to collapse. But by the way, speaking of X, Although the news was only out for about two hours, did you see that Elon capitulated to Brazil? Yeah, I'm sure he would. Yeah, but that story didn't really get any traction. Who cares? People who thought Elon was the protector of free speech care.

36:09 I didn't notice this. I mean, I knew about the commissionation because I got tons of email about it. Yeah, but it got demoted everywhere, certainly on X. Oh yeah, because he's not Mr. Free Speech. He's like, well, you know, maybe I should pay the million dollars and maybe I should, you know, do exactly what they asked me to do. He's a businessman. Exactly. He's not the hero everybody thinks, nor is Pavel Durov. One month after being arrested by French authorities, Telegram founder Pavel Durov agrees to cooperate and hand over information of people who use the platform for criminal purposes.

An avowed free speech advocate, Durov, initially criticized his arrest. He has long resisted attempts to take down content on Telegram and has previously seen it banned in Iran and in his native Russia, where it was later unbanned rather than hand over users' details. Yeah, IP addresses, anything you want. Yeah, I'll give it to you. Bye! Bye! Bye! They all buckle. All the free speech guys. And who... you buckle under the fascist state? Well, yeah.

37:45 But platforms can't be for free speech. It's non-existent. No, you can't do it. You have to skirt it. And that's why the AI models are so good. What do you mean? Well, if you listen to the Trudeau thing where he reveals that he is the son of Fidel Castro and on and on. Yeah. Illegal. What more can you ask for? Illegal content. I was looking at the California bill. And so this California bill only adheres to covered models, which is not a supermodel. It's just a covered model.

38:23 So, anything before January 2027, I don't know why it's 2027, a covered model means an artificial intelligence model trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10 to the 26 integer or floating point operations. The cost of which exceeds $100 million when calculated using the average market prices of cloud compute at the start of training as reasonably assessed by the developer. What? What? I have no idea what that means. An advanced persistent... And what difference does it make? Why should that have an... Why is that an element of a law? Well, that's... It's not provable. That's my question.

39:09 Advanced Persistent Threat, this is what it's all about, means an adversary with sophisticated levels of expertise and significant resources that allow it through the use of multiple different attack vectors, including but not limited to cyber-physical deception, to generate opportunities to achieve its objectives that are typically to establish and extend its presence within the information technology infrastructure of organizations for purposes of exfiltrating information or to undermine or impede critical aspects of a mission, program, or organization or place itself in a position to do so in the future. What? What is this bill? What is that? It's indecipherable. Meanwhile, obviously some bill to harass some one person.

39:57 Get probably Facebook if anybody. Meanwhile NPR reports the food bloggers are very unhappy with AI because it's generating recipes that can be deadly. Well, that makes sense. I haven't heard this. This is a new aspect to it. AI recipes can be dangerous too. Last year Forbes reported that one AI recipe generator produced a recipe for quote aromatic water mix. When a Twitter user prompted it to make a recipe with water, bleach and ammonia, the recipe actually produced deadly chlorine gas. Yay! Yeah, it would. Yay! Yay! More of it, please. More Seymour Butts. More Seymour Butts AI. I'm all for it. The faster this collapse, the better.

40:49 More more AI you know this is what's so funny about that and it's somewhat ironic is you can call for the collapse all you want it's going to collapse with or without the the poison oh no I know but then we can take credit we say we did that We did that. Go pod... There you go. Go marketing. For marketing purposes, you nailed it. Go podcasting. That's a good point. Okay, what am I thinking? What's wrong with you? Come on. People say, the No Agenda podcast, they called for it and then all their producers went out and created AI slop and it's collapsed the models. Thank you, by the way, to the 10,000 physicists who emailed us about entropy.

41:30 with lots of interesting reading. I don't even want to consider that... You know, you don't quite have it right. Here's a lecture. Here's a five-hour lecture on YouTube you can watch and you'll understand entropy perfectly. I love you all. I love you all. You got the point. I think they got the point. Although this is just one last clip here. This is the CEO of Bharti Airtel, which is an Indian cell phone company. And he has a unique use for AI. Mr. Vittal, thank you so much for joining us on CNBC TV18. The first question I wanted to ask is we already have applications such as Truecaller, the TRI is working towards caller name display. How is this AI path solution different? So the advantage that this solution has is that firstly there's a menace. So everybody, more people working on it, better it is. This is for you, John. This is a menace. This is a menace that you are having problem with. For the industry because it's a problem for the customers.

42:28 I think what our solution does is that it doesn't require an application. The application you referred to requires an application. So ours doesn't require an application. Secondly, like I mentioned on CNAP, you will know a user calling, XYZ calling, but you don't know whether he's a spamster or not, and you could still be frauded. So what our solution does is actually uses over 250 parameters on a real-time basis across every single call and every message on our network which is roughly one and a half billion SMS's, two and a half billion calls and alerts the customer if it's a spam, suspected spam. We have seen tremendous power in this in the last six months. It's an AI model which is constantly learning. We've seen 97% right identification of spam calls, 99.5% right identification of spam messages. So we're very excited that this will really put power back in the hands of the user

43:19 to know that they have been protected. This is so good. They better start bringing in quantum computing quick or they're gonna lose out. There's the rub. What? That's a bullcrap item too. I know. Most tech, including the internet, is bullcrap. Yes. We have not benefited from any of it. I mean, we have because we have a podcast we wouldn't be able to do. Actually, we could over broadcast media, but we would never have even met.

44:02 No, you're right. Oh, how like you and I would not have we met in 92 93 at CNET. That's right. I was I was impressed by you. I'm sure you were. Yes, I was. I was impressed by you. I was like, wow, that guy knows what he's doing. He's good. All right. Let me just fawn over you for a second. I'd literally just said the other day on the new media show, one of the secrets to our success is we're not actually friends and maybe don't even like each other that much. They thought that was hilarious. Yeah, it's possible. But let me just tell them, let me set the stage. It was,

44:37 The pilot for CNET, which was supposed to be... CNET Central. CNET Central. But it was supposed to be a whole 24-hour day cable station. What was the guy's name? The Fox guy who... He's dead now, I think. Was Halsey Minor... Kevin Wendell? Kevin Wendell. He's still around? Kevin Wendell? I'm pretty sure. Yeah, so he strung together the original Fox local television station network. So he was the TV guy at Halsey Minor. He was also involved with Prince of Bel-Air. Yes, and then you had Halsey minor who? Didn't he have family money that he squandered on this? No, he uses Shelby Bonnie Shelby Bonnie's money He squandered that instead so they paid us all to come out to San Francisco I don't remember the studio, but I remember there was a train out front and

45:26 There was a train car? Yes, there was a caboose. A caboose, yeah, it was a caboose. And that's where they had the food. And they had it catered. It was dynamite for the first six to nine months. It was great. But it's like everything else I've noticed is wherever you work at these startups, oh yeah, free food, it's dynamite. And then, you know, nine months later a bookkeeper comes in and says, no, no, no, no more free food, no makeup. No, you don't need mics. They cut the makeup artist, which is a huge blunder. Just yell loudly. We'll use a shotgun mic. It'll be fine. So there's John doing a, like a McLaughlin group.

46:08 Um, and I think it was John Perry Barlow might've been on that. I don't remember. And I just remember how good you were. And I was like, Oh, that's, that's good. I didn't get to be on that show. No, I had to interview Dr. May Jemison. I remember her, the first black woman who was on the space shuttle. Vaguely, vaguely. The thing that was noticeable about you is when you were doing this, this audition, you were like so tall because everybody else, most people in broadcasting are only five. And with big heads, with big heads. And you had a big head and you were tall and you kind of stood out. And they didn't have any apple crates or anything. They should have definitely gave them to the other people. No, but everything was wrong about that. And then when the offer came in, it was like, well, I'm going to give you 8 million warrants or options. I'm like, huh? I'm not leaving MTV for that.

46:58 Of course I should have taken the deal because I wouldn't be doing this podcast. $10 million dollars. Yeah. Oh, well, there you go. And, uh, that's funny. I don't know how he got to that. I brought it up because you were talking about, I was talking about the internet sucking and the only reason we ever got together is because of the internet. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And it's been a marriage made in heaven ever since. Well, podcast made in heaven. There you go. Well, that's podcast is truly one of the last things standing. That's the only thing that'll be worthwhile. You know, you know that it's that it's a real deal. He's coming from an RSS feed, not from a platform. So you know, it'll be there. And you're going to make sure that that's exactly what happens. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're the only one. You're the you are.

47:51 Definitely at this point, it was always debatable, not to me, but it was debatable to a lot of people. Well, Dave Weiner. I love how you say that. Dave Weiner. Dave Weiner, who's just a never, I always thought was an ancillary to the idea. And then of course, the person who coined the phrase, you didn't coin it, which is the only black mark. It's just such a black mark. That is in Queen. Oh well. But you invented it and then you've, and you're the only one that's picked up the flag to take it to podcasting 2.0, which is a big deal. And I've been running with it. It's not fully realized yet. No, no, no. It'll take another couple of years. It's okay. These things take time. People are going to start to figure it out when all the AI slop ruins everything. Like this Twitter is no good. X is no good. Facebook is no good. It's just slop. Yes.

48:47 You'll come back to podcasts and you won't be getting your podcast on YouTube. So the text group, the church lady text group exploded the other day and even our constitutional lawyer Rob sent me a note about it. Oh no! Oh no! What's going to happen? George Soros is buying all the radio stations! Oh, my Mimi's the same way. Okay, well let me calm everybody down, including Glenn Beck. George Soros just bought 200 radio stations in 40 different markets. Now, the vote came down in the FCC, it was partisan, three Democrats voting for it, two Republicans voting against it. But here's the real problem.

47:51 Definitely at this point, it was always debatable, not to me, but it was debatable to a lot of people. Well, Dave Weiner. I love how you say that. Dave Weiner. Dave Weiner, who's just a never, I always thought was an ancillary to the idea. And then of course, the person who coined the phrase, you didn't coin it, which is the only black mark. It's just such a black mark. That is in Queen. Oh well. But you invented it and then you've, and you're the only one that's picked up the flag to take it to podcasting 2.0, which is a big deal. And I've been running with it. It's not fully realized yet. No, no, no. It'll take another couple of years. It's okay. These things take time. People are going to start to figure it out when all the AI slop ruins everything. Like this Twitter is no good. X is no good. Facebook is no good. It's just slop. Yes.

48:47 You'll come back to podcasts and you won't be getting your podcast on YouTube. So the text group, the church lady text group exploded the other day and even our constitutional lawyer Rob sent me a note about it. Oh no! Oh no! What's going to happen? George Soros is buying all the radio stations! Oh, my Mimi's the same way. Okay, well let me calm everybody down, including Glenn Beck. George Soros just bought 200 radio stations in 40 different markets. Now, the vote came down in the FCC, it was partisan, three Democrats voting for it, two Republicans voting against it. But here's the real problem.

49:36 According to existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of US radio stations is not supposed to exceed 25%. But Soros took foreign investment money to make his bid. And then he asked the FCC to make an exception to the usual review process. So the FCC fast-tracked this. Why? Why would they do that? Well, let me answer this first because Everyone just reads headlines including Glenn Beck is disappointing and he's a radio guy. He should know So first of all George Soros is a zombie. It's no longer George Soros. This is an arachnid arachnid ism What is it called an anachronist? Thank you. All right, you're a chanism arachnophobia

50:35 Soros is dead. He's not running anything. Alex is now kind of in charge, but he's off. You know, he's part of the Clintonista now. He's with, what's her face? With the Wiener's ex-wife. Yeah. Uma Abadie. Uma, yeah. So that guy's mired in all kinds of other stuff. This is the fund. And here's what really happened. It's not about 200 radio stations. It's about the company Odyssey. Odyssey more than 200 is more like 239. Yeah, Odyssey has you know, I thought was almost 250 radio stations They have a podcast network. Hello, the podcast networks only about five to ten podcasts and then they take credit for every other podcast in the world on their website, of course Joe Rogan, of course they do they've been in chapter 11. They're bankrupt and

51:28 And what the Soros Fund management did is they bought up $400 million of Odyssey's debt. They bought up the debt. Let's be a little more specific. They bought the best debt. What do you mean by that? There's different kinds of debt. Oh, explain. And the debt that they bought is the debt that has to be serviced first. Yeah, the first money in, yes. So they're the ones that get all the I'll just throw in a couple of thoughts. a Soros type deal. This is an investment. Yes, a good one. Designed, a good one because he got something like 1.9, I think, $1.9 billion in debt. Yeah, for 400 million. He gets the whole thing for 400 million. Yeah. And it's the best debt. The shareholders get nothing. Nothing. Everybody gets wiped out except Soros with this $400 million investment.

52:31 And the first thing, well, you can tell, I don't know what your interpretation is of this. I mean, my interpretation is that this was an incredibly smart move to buy up a bunch of crappy stations, most of music stations, by the way, it's not that it's gonna be political. And which is the real giveaway, it's like eight out of 10 stations. Don't forget the podcast network. And the stupid podcast network, which is useless. They're gonna piece it off and make a billion dollars in selling off bits and pieces. They're gonna chop it up, yes. They're gonna sell off the stations, it's what you do. That's what I said, they're gonna sell off the stations in bits and pieces, get about a billion dollars back. This is one of those examples where the parts are worth more than the whole. Yes, that's exactly what a fund like this does. If the whole only costs $400 million. Yeah, it's a big whole and you're not in it. Wait, that's a different one.

53:24 And that's all it is. And the fact that people brought this up, Mimi was one of them. Oh no! Like what? Who? What? I heard this for the past four days. Oh George Soros, he was gonna take all the conservative shows off the air. No, he's not. No, he's not. And the reason why the FCC fast-tracked it is because this is about to go under. Yes, they had to. Money needed to come in. They were between a rock and a hard place. You either fast-track this or these guys are out of business.

54:00 and the whole country can go to pot. You have no choice but to fast track it. And then so the Democrats vote yes, and the Republicans, being the jerk-offs that they are, don't, you know, they don't want to, we don't want to be associated with this, we'll vote no. And we don't have to worry about the consequences because we know it's going to pass. It's just, it was unbelievable to me how, and it's every story had the information in it. But it was all... No, it was obvious what was going on. Yeah, but it was all... Oh, Soros is gonna buy all the... By the way, most of these stations, the average listenership is 74 years and older. A lot of old guys. A lot of AM stations in this mess. Yeah, and at the same time, you know, there was the keep AM radio bill. Did you see that? Yeah. And because

54:49 Guess what? EV electric vehicles aren't great with AM radio. It's like holding up a hairdryer, a hair dryer next to your transistor radio. They go, oh, we have to keep AM radio alive because you know, it's a... No, they got filters. They can make, fix it. Because of, you know, what, who's still on AM radio? All the talkers, all the right wing talkers. That's why they had to pass that bill. All the right wing talkers are on AM radio. Yeah. But you know what? All the kids these days, they don't listen to radio. It's, I mean, okay, you can still make a lot of money from radio, just like from cable. It'll go for a few more years, it's worth it. Probably more than that. Yeah. It's still a functioning media. Yeah, but within 10 years, your listeners are dead, just like George Soros. It's George Soros. He's gonna take all the programming off. I was wondering if we were gonna do this story because... I'm glad you caught it too.

55:50 It was because I caught it right away and I expected Horowitz to bring it up on DH Unplugged but he never did and I didn't want to introduce it and I said well this whole thing can pass and then you brought it up and so I had my opinion fully formed and ready to go because I had to deal with Mimi and her freakout. Is she on the church ladies text group? I don't know why she got so worked up about this. It's so obvious it's just a Just a smart investment that had to be done by somebody and nobody else came up with this. And this is a classic Soros scam. This is what he does when he does currency buys and sells. The guy's a genius investor. Yeah, but it's not him. It's the Soros fund management. Yeah, but it's still his mentality. But the guy is dead.

56:41 He's dead. It's like Warren Buffett, you know, his mentality is this permeates the So I just want everybody to calm down even that the Republican FCC Commissioner was all And he knows what this deal is about he was gaslighting was showboating. Yeah, let me see. I think I have I think I have a clip of him. Oh It wasn't gas, it was gaslighting. Here, this is the guy. Take ownership of over 200 radio stations across 40 different. Here is take ownership of no markets after The SC originally indicating that that transaction could be reviewed and approved at the bureau level without a commission vote It's now become clear that that is a decision before the full Commission And it's one that I would assume now or in the near future the Commission would approve I think what's interesting about it is that

57:46 The FCC is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction. We have established over a number of years one way in which you can get approval from the FCC when you have in excess of 25% foreign ownership, which this transaction does. And it seems to me that the FCC is poised to create, for the first time, an entirely new shortcut. Ever! Yeah, thank you. As you pointed out here previously, these proceedings for transfer of ownership have been expedited. What exactly makes this case so deserving of an expedited proceeding so far? The content! The content! There is nothing about this transaction.

58:23 that is out of the ordinary, it's a type of thing that we see all the time and the FC has a process for this. The full commission itself has never signed off on a shortcut. Oh, shortcut. Soros is getting favor from the Democrats. No. This is what I deal with and I'm glad you have to deal with it too. That makes me happy. Everybody has to deal with it. That's what this show is for. Minus will do the next one. Because there are sensible people out there that can see through it. The next one was also a little minor thing. I'm like, well, who cares about this? And the term is Founders Mode.

59:21 the in her control. She proposed buying back all outstanding shares that she didn't already own. The board rejected that proposal, but she still has enough control to block other potential bidders. It has now culminated with all seven members of that board resigning and a notice from the Nasdaq threatening to delist the company if she can't replace them by October 3rd. Now

59:59 Now take a look. This is the current web page of 23andMe's board of directors. It's mighty lonely. Previously, though, it included some of the most important leaders in tech and health care. These are just some of them. Sequoia Capital's Roloff Botha, YouTube CEO Neil Mohan, renowned MDs. They were attracted in the first place to Wojcicki's drive to move fast and ship products pioneering direct-to-consumer genomics. It's founders mode basically this whole saga playing out in public with all the scrutiny that goes along with this. Founders mode which means I failed miserably everybody's data is at risk

1:00:36 Which I will say this show said don't do this Do not send your DNA to this Google woman to anybody to anybody. Yes, don't do it and now There's no oversight The stock is under a buck. It's like 30 cents Hmm and and she'll eventually have full control what she gonna do. She's gonna sell it and Good work. Everybody idea. Yeah, her idea was that I don't think was a bad idea from her perspective to go private Yeah, I was sucking back up. Take it off the market and low money This is what Michael Dell didn't did quite well. I'm taking this company off the market

1:01:19 Take it off the market. I don't understand why these board members who were handpicked by her to begin with all bailed out on the idea because it would have been a moneymaker. You take it back and then you rejigger it and then roll it out a second time with another IPO and make a ton of money. It just doesn't make sense that you wouldn't do that. There's obviously a lot wrong with this company. So much wrong. I guess that must be it. A lot is wrong inside that company. Yeah, well, there you go. Don't spread your DNA around. If there wasn't something else wrong, this is a great idea. And then the final scam which came out in senatorial oversight. It's scam day on the No Agenda Show. It is scam day. This is something we learned from Trump. Scam day! This is something we learned from Trump when he talked about the pharmacy benefit managers who we tried to get out of the equation. You remember he said a lot of people are not going to be happy.

1:02:17 They're gonna want to kill me over this. And this is the Ozempic hearing. Bottom line is you are charging the American people substantially more for the same exact drug than you are charging people in other countries. And my question is why? We don't decide the price for patients. That's said by the insurance companies. Senators grilled the maker of Ozempic and other weight loss drugs about why Americans pay so much more than other countries. Take a look at the difference here. So the company Norvo Nordisk charges $969 a month for Ozempic before insurance and rebates here in the United States compared to a hundred fifty

1:03:01 five a month in Canada and 59 bucks in Germany. The CEO blamed the US health care system, arguing that so-called pharmacy benefit managers, the middlemen between insurance companies and drug makers, are the ones who negotiate prices and get in the way of passing discounts to customers. There is a market we have to operate in and we negotiate hard to make sure that Americans have access. Just last week the Federal Trade Commission announced legal action against three pharmacy benefit managers accusing them of inflating insulin prices.

1:03:37 The whole system is corrupt. It's completely corrupt. And the insurance companies are behind the whole thing. Yes. Which everyone's afraid to do anything about in our government. I guess they're the big donors. But it is scam day. So there's that, I can't remember this woman's name, she was on Gutfeld last night. She's a long time liberal but she's kind of turned. She's that kind of attractive lesbian fitness girl, she's on a lot of TV shows. Wait, Jillian Michaels? Yes. Oh, I love her. She did a whole beautiful thing in a hearing the other day.

1:04:17 Like eight minutes. Yes, she talked about that a little bit, but on the show she went after Ozempic? Good. To an extreme, I wish I should have clipped it or could still do it, but I'm not going to. I'll just tell you, she went off on it and it was like, wow, she's never going to be back on this show again. No, no, can't be on Fox doing that nonsense. Nope. No, no. She did eight minutes in this hearing and she got a standing ovation. It was very good. And of course it was one of those subrooms where they just shove a bunch of tables together in a big square. Well, yes, I'm in Washington DC testifying. No, you're in like some little side room that nobody cares about.

1:05:04 Yeah, it's always Ron Johnson who I appreciate that he does it. He does that a lot. Come to my party! You know, it's like school. Let's all put the tables in a square so we can all see each other. Let's hold hands and tell a secret. She had one funny bit she's talked about because they do these different segments and one of them is about Diddy. And she says, you know, she was good friends with Diddy and never got invited to any of these parties. What's... Well, she's a lesbian. What's wrong with me? Hello, you're a lesbian. You're no good. Did you see the bodyguard? He was like, and all these hot girls, all topless. And I went into the men's room and there she was, she lifted her skirt up. It's like, wow, these Diddy party. Ain't no party like a Diddy party.

1:05:48 This is it. This is the year. Cat Williams was right. Everything's gonna be... all that is hidden will be known this year. It's all coming. Yeah, a lot is coming out. A lot is coming out. It will not be on the 6 o'clock news for sure. You'll hear it on a podcast. And you'll go, eh. Delighted, just delighted to see Vice President Harris do a sit-down interview with... No, brother. Stephanie Ruhle. Stephanie Ruhle, who loves her. Well, and so, and the boys at the trading desk there at Goldman loved her when she was still at Goldman Sachs. I have that from the New York banker, former New York banker.

1:06:33 And Stephanie, what was she doing? What was her extracurricular activities? Was there something going on? I believe so. Yes, I believe she was one of those girls. Yes, one of those. And she's, you know, and Scott Galloway loves her. Oh, I love me some Stephanie Rules. She's the best. She's great with her Starbucks. So I have some very one. I'm glad you got clips because I looked at it. I saw nothing but the same old same old middle-class bull crap and I clipped nothing. I have some some overview clip. I got some some some shorties here one one a little longer and then some just short ones like 30 seconds and the reason why I'm playing these is I

1:07:19 I kind of realized without saying it on the last show we talked about Am I Racist, the Matt Walsh movie, and the beauty of that movie is that When you see it in context of the movie, you see that America is not racist. You see the grifters who have been gaslighting, the gaslighting grifters who have made everyone to at least at best argue over whether America is racist and at worst they create the 1619 project and oh we're the most racist, we're the systemically racist racist racist but then you really look at it like this is not true.

1:07:59 That's not true. And the same is with this Stephanie Ruhle interview. Kamala Harris is not a threat to the presidency. She will not be president. America will not vote for her. This is just more gaslighting by the media. And the worst part is, a lot of people who will not vote for her are like, oh, Kamala, she wins. You're making yourself crazy and ill with this stuff. Let's just pull it apart. Let's start with her economic plan. Madam Vice President, you just laid out your economic vision for the future. But still there are lots of Americans who don't see themselves in your plans. For those who say these policies aren't for me, what do you say to them?

1:08:48 Well, if you are hard-working, if you have the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you're in my plan. You know, I have to tell you. You're in my plan! You can keep your doctor. You're in my plan. I love and am so energized by what I know to be the spirit and character of the American people. We have ambition, we have aspirations, we have dreams. We can see what's possible. We have an incredible work ethic. But not everyone has the access to the opportunities that allow them to achieve those things. But we don't lack for those things.

1:09:36 But not everyone, you know gets hand to stuff on a silver platter. And so my vision for the economy I call it an opportunity economy is about making sure that all Americans wherever they start wherever they are Have the ability to actually achieve those those dreams and those ambitions which include from middle-class families just being able to to know that their hard work allows them to to get ahead, right? I think we can't and we shouldn't aspire to have an economy that just allows people to get by. People want to do more than just get by. They want to get ahead. And I come from the middle class. Oh yeah, so no American watching this heard anything of any use.

1:10:20 Zero. Okay, let's talk about price gouging. Prices are still high. Yeah, I agree with you. You said you want to take this on by going after those who engage in price gouging. Yeah. But as somebody who supports free markets, who's a capitalist, how do you go after price gouging without implementing price controls? Because once we get in this zone, people start to get worried and they say, I don't know what she stands for. So just to be very frank, I am never going to apologize for going after companies and corporations that take advantage of the desperation of the American people. And as Attorney General, I saw this happen. In the midst of an emergency, whether it be an extreme weather event or even the pandemic, we saw it.

1:11:11 Really? Where those few companies, not the majority, not most. Those are the only companies you allowed to stay open, Madam Vice President. But those few companies that would take advantage of the desperation of people and jack up prices. Yeah, I'm going to go after them. Yes, I'm going to go after them. And that is part of a much more comprehensive plan on what we can do to bring down the cost of living, including housing, including the everyday needs of the American people. Okay, so right on cue, Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bob Casey come out with a warning. We're sounding the alarm. Listen to this.

1:11:54 Many grocery chains, including Kroger, have rapidly expanded their use of ESL in recent years. Are you familiar with ESL? ESL? Yes, electronic shelf labels. So instead of some high school student on Saturdays going around with click click, click click, click click, click click. You remember, we used to look at the little price tag and there'd be five underneath it. Did they just put another price tag on top? Yeah. Yeah. So now they have a little digital readout that gives you the price. And Kroger has been using this since 2018 and has since expanded it to 500 stores nationwide. ESLs may help Kroger extract maximum profits from consumers at a time when Americans are dealing with the cost of grocery prices.

1:12:48 Their margins are 1 to 2 percent. The margins in a grocery store are close to zero. But then Warren throws a little more on top saying dynamic pricing, which is OK, well, all right, so now it's a little faster. instead of the college or the high school students putting stickers on everything. All right, dynamic pricing allows corporations to price gouge and suddenly raise the cost of goods without warning. Kroger has also proposed to place facial recognition cameras on its digital shelves that can make different offers to shoppers based on their age, gender, or potentially their race and other personal characteristics.

1:13:32 They're going to be racist. Bullcrap. Of course it's bullcrap, but they're gaslighting. And by the way, dynamic pricing, which has been in play in various industries, especially the hotel industry, since the 40s, decades, tends to Price lower. Yes, the idea is as you get near the end of the shelf life or whatever it might be in terms of a room available at a hotel. Tap it down. Tap it down. They drop the price. They don't raise the price. Now, just on the other hand, I will say this because dynamic pricing does take place in San Francisco parking. The meters are all set up so if there's a Giants game for example in the area where there's some parking meters the price of an hour of parking will triple. Right, but there's no competition for the parking. If you have competition, if you have multiple stores, a Kroger and an HEB or whatever else it is, Publix, then... Piggly Wiggly. Piggly Wiggly. It will result in price lowering.

1:14:33 That's how it works, because people are price conscious. But they're just gaslighting. Oh, well, we need price fixing. Oh, we can't have that. Anyway, Madam VP, how are you going to do these taxes you talk about, the corporate tax and everything, if Congress decides not to pay for it? After all, they do control the purse strings. Expanding that child tax credit or you mentioned housing before, giving that extra money for a first home. If you can't raise corporate taxes or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that? Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow? What do you think the answer is? What do you do? How, if you are the Vice President, now President Harris, John, what would you do if Congress won't do it? Executive order.

1:15:28 But we're gonna have to raise corporate taxes and we're gonna have to raise... We're gonna have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That's just it. It's about paying their fair share. We're just gonna have to do it. I have no idea how. We're just gonna have to do it. You know, I don't know how any politician You have to be an idiot, and this woman is not the smartest person I've ever seen running for office. No. To say the least. No. No. You have to be an idiot for part of your platform to be to raise taxes because that's all. They want to take more money from you. I'm voting for her. It always works. It always works. Now, let's do a little fact check. Just a fact check. Because your opponent almost every day... There's no such thing as a little job. Okay, fair, fair. Because your opponent almost every day seems to be talking about this. So I just want to ask you yes or no. At any point in your life, have you served

1:16:26 to all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun working at a McDonald's. Yes or no? That's it. I have. Okay. Now the other job. Now the other job. But it was not a small job. Like, I didn't rise. I mean, I, you know. Yes, but I did. Okay, she sticks to it. There's no evidence. And of course, Trump is making a big joke out of it continuously. And then the new word... Wait, wait, I'd hate to have you back this up, but how did she describe what she was doing? She was standing over the fries. She was in charge of the fries. In that clip? In that clip, yes. She says it at the end. You want to hear it again?

1:17:08 If you could play it again, I'd like to hear it again. Yeah, I'll play the answer. Have you served to all beef patties special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun, working at a McDonald's? Yes or no? That's it. I have. Okay, now the other job. But it was not a small job. Like I did the fries. I mean, I, you know. Yes, but I did. She dunked fries. Not a small job. But you know, the question that she asks is, have you ever at any point in your life, I'm sure as a politician, she's probably served people at McDonald's. Everyone does it. Like, hi, can I take your order? I'm a politician working at McDonald's. I'm just like you. So she's probably not actually lying. But, you know, the original claim was that I worked at McDonald's. I come from a middle class family in Canada.

1:18:00 Here's the new word, the new word of the day. You'll hear it three times in 27 seconds. Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars. And looking holistically at the connection between that and housing. And looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people. So I can tell you from first-hand experience, if you're in a Silicon Valley meeting and someone's pitching their company and they say they're going to do something holistically, the checkbook goes back into the bag. Yeah. Now, I've watched this too. Now, this holistically thing always came with a hand gesture. Yes, a round ball. And the hand gesture is the same as the gesture of turning the page. You have a call.

1:19:02 I do. It's the same as turning the page. I'm gonna go hang that up. Yeah, okay. You go hang it. Hang it up. It's the same as turning the page as... He's walking to the other side of the office. Be careful. Don't trip on any of those piles. Could be very painful. If we hear cans, then we know John has fallen. Hello? Nobody there! Okay. Why don't you have the phone near your desk? I have the... it is near my desk. This podcasting section of the office is not the desk. Oh, okay. Alright. But yes, it's turning the page. She has that hand motion and it's like Pavlovian.

1:19:51 So the holistic motion is exactly the same as her, and she's kind of dropped it turning the page. But she loves that hand. It's like, oh, these are not the drones. I mean, it's just like this hand movement. Yeah. Yeah. It's done for some some neuro linguistic programming like reason. Yes. Yes. Well, then just the final clip, 11 seconds. This is the only question we really care about. Can we trust you? Yes. Yes. Yes. I am not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. But I will tell you, I'm always going to put the needs of the people first. That's right. You can trust me. Trust me. What does that even mean? I don't know. But you can, she puts the means of the people first.

1:20:37 This is, this woman is so bad that even Eva Mackend on CNN is like, nope, nope, nope, nope. And of course she's black, so the panel couldn't say anything to her because it's about immigration. The vice president has a long history, a well-documented history of really being an ally to these immigrant communities. She has two chapters in her book, I Say We Fight and We Are Better Than This, where she really makes a robust case for undocumented immigrants during the Trump administration. She talked about a climate of fear. She dismissed the border wall as ineffective and a waste of resources. And so, and even her guest at the joint session of Congress was a DACA recipient, was a dreamer. And so for her to go down there and characterize herself as tough on the border

1:21:26 It, to me, it isn't consistent with a lot of the policy positions that she previously has espoused. Yeah, exactly. She's a liar. She's a liar. Everybody knows it. But yet everyone's also worked up over her. And, well, they're going to steal the election. You know, you think people would think that they, the Republicans are pretty dumb. I mean, or as dumb as anyone else. Republicans are dumb. They are pretty dumb. But when it comes to, when it comes to these elections, Now, they have also figured some stuff out. Let me see. I think it's, yeah, this is CBS. Just as Vice President Kamala Harris arrived seeking new altitude in this battleground state, a Georgia state election board controlled by former President Donald Trump supporters is causing turbulence.

1:22:19 But just more than six weeks until election day, three Republicans who hold a majority on the board voted to change the rules for handling ballots, requiring poll workers at each precinct in Georgia's 159 counties to conduct a hand count of all the ballots on election night in addition to the traditional machine count. Trump ally Janelle King. What I don't want to do is set a precedent that we are okay with speed over accuracy. I don't see any danger in hand counting. If the complaint is that, you know, I just don't want to stay there an extra hour, that's just not a good enough complaint for me.

1:22:55 An idea opponents blistered as an attempt to slow the vote count. We are talking about all these last minute changes and it makes me question whether members of this board are operating in good faith. Others said it will cost millions of dollars to hire and train additional workers. I said they're acting not acting in good faith by asking for a hand count. Oh yeah, it's ridiculous. And it makes me question whether members of this board are operating in good faith. Others said it will cost millions of dollars to hire and train additional workers and so distrust in the results.

1:23:34 and delay tabulation of final results by days or weeks. I brought with me 1,872 pages of paper representing what a stack of ballots could look like on a busy counting day. All the top Republicans in the state, including the governor, have criticized the board's actions, accusing them of exceeding their authority and making 11th hour changes. Trump, meanwhile, has lauded and thanked the board members for considering new rules. They're on fire. They're doing a great job. So, you know, the Republicans are doing their bit too. They're trying to stop the steal, of course. Although, and I hate to say it because I met him and I kind of like the guy, Mike Lindell put his foot in it. Mr. My pillow guy.

1:24:21 This is dynamic pricing at its worst. MyPillow founder Mike Lindell is known for supporting conspiracy theories including backing Donald Trump's false claims that he won the 2020 election. It's a claim, not a false claim. And now more eyebrows are raising. Lindell has put his pillows on sale for $14.88. Is that a bargain price or a secret signal to neo-Nazis? A new controversy for the MyPillow guy for allegedly sending coded messages to white supremacists and neo-nazis. We're having the biggest MyPillow sale ever. It's a new ad for MyPillow for $14.88. The numbers 14 and 88 are common symbols among hate groups. 14 stands for a 14 word slogan embraced by white supremacists.

1:25:10 The number 88 is alleged to be an abbreviation for Heil Hitler since H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Dog whistle goes this comment on social media. This is intentional, but not everyone is seeing the connection. Such a stretch goes this comment. We reached out to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell who was featured in all his company's ads but got no response. Lindell is known for pushing debunked conspiracy theories. Today Lindell denied the price of his pill. Stop, stop, stop the clip. So they're condemning Lindell for accepting conspiracy theories with false claims, whatever it is, while the whole exposition here is a conspiracy theory. It's very meta. Do they know that they're like expressing a conspiracy theory? It's a call to the neo-Nazis, John. All the Nazis are buying pillows because we're going to do a pillow fight. I don't even know what it means.

1:26:08 Well, I do actually. The 14 words, according to the Book of Knowledge, is a reference to two slogans originated by David Eden Lane, one of the nine founding members of the defunct white supremacist terrorist organization, The Order. This is so deep. Yeah, they want you to order a pillow. Yes, the order is get a pillow! And are accompanied by Lane's 88 precepts. The slogans have served as a rallying cry for militant white nationalists internationally. The primary slogan, ready for the 14 words? We must secure the existence of our people and their future for white children.

1:26:50 followed by the secondary slogan, because the beauty of the white Aryan woman must not perish from the earth. Talk about a conspiracy theory of a guy who's a conspiracy theorist. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. It's an odd number too. 1489. Unbelievable. What happened to 1499? I mean, that was... Well, 14, yeah, he could have done 1495, which is like a Costco number. Could have done anything. But I guess now it probably you know somebody you know, I always suspect there's somebody that else That does is just to kind of set him up. Oh very possible

1:27:32 Because he's not a guy that would... He really seems like a nice guy. Yeah, he doesn't have any of the earmarks of any sort of nutty white supremacist. So this is like, I got a great idea. Let's do 1488. Okay, sounds good. Hey, that's good. That's a good price. We'll make a nice profit. Meanwhile... That's a good price for that pillow. It's best price. This is Chinese. Must be coming in from somewhere else. Meanwhile, I started getting emails. People just, like they're texting me. They're not texting me, they're sending me emails like text messages. This is crazy! No link. Oh, I can't believe this! No link. Like five, six in a row. Yeah, I didn't get these. Well, no. They can't spell your last name. It's very difficult to find Dvorak.org. They send it to Dvorak.com.

1:28:30 And it was another Zoom call. This time, we of course we had black women for Harris, we had white dudes for Harris, we had Christians for Harris, we had more celebrities people don't care about anymore for Harris, we had comedians for Harris, and now we had geeks and nerds for Harris. Which is really should be watched. And I will only play you the opening sequence as they brought in Wonder Woman, Linda Carter, to host this fabulous call. This was a mistake. I don't know if she's drunk. I don't know if this is just how she is. But a host of a Zoom call, she is not.

1:29:26 Good evening and welcome to Geeks and Nerds for Harris. I am Linda Carter and I'm thrilled to be here to support our brilliant Vice President Kamala Harris. We are here tonight for duty, for our country, for our freedoms, for justice, equality and community. That's why I am here with you today. That and to share the joy and hope with people I adore. Joy and hope! The geeks and the nerds of America. America! The curious club of kooky collaborators coming together for Kamala Harris. That's why we need you.

1:30:14 to rise up and defend our democracy by getting out the vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Tonight, we'll be joined by dozens of geek and nerd icons from TV. Like LeVar Burton. Oh, I mean, no. How come they don't do Love Island for Harris? People would watch that. They would Love Island. She does sound drunk. No, what real Americans are talking about is what's happening in their cities. The rent's too high. That guy. Where's the guy with the boot on his head? That guy is so good. Was that? No, that's a different guy. He's the freak. I think the original rent's too high guy's dead. The freak. The guy with the boot on his head is everyone gets a pony. I liked him. So Chicago is in disarray.

1:31:09 I mean, there's people who grew up in Chicago and people sending me sub stacks. And it's just, it's horrible what has happened to this city. And now we have the TDA, was it Trinidad and Aragua, the Venezuelan gang. And I believe this to be true. It may be exaggerated here, but They're coming in and the Chicago gangs, who have been killing each other, you know, I don't know, 30 people a weekend. They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second. You can't come in here and take our turf.

1:31:51 So now we're going to see, we had like the, I think I heard Darren say they had 37 people shot last weekend. You didn't really hear about it of course. Of course not. With three dead, four dead. Darren said they're doing great. It's moving ahead just beautifully in Chicago. He's in Chicago. So here's a former gang member. So Venezuelan gang members moving into Chicago have caught the attention of the city's local counterparts. bringing tensions to an all-time high. Our next guest is a former gang member who now runs a violence prevention program and warns that the city may go up in flames fearing an all-out turf war. Explain to us what's happening on the ground. So let me just say this, we just heard about a vice president who says she specialized in locking up and arresting transnational gangs.

1:32:45 while the very party that she's a part of, the policies with the sanctuary cities and the border crisis, she supports. And now the influx, which is oxymoronic at the same time, now we have to fight transnational gangs and the influx of these men who we don't know where they come, what crimes they committed, and

1:33:27 violence anywhere is violence everywhere. America should be afraid that this can happen in America's cities, one of the biggest cities, most tourist, one of the biggest tourist-attracting cities in the country, that we can watch this happen all over the country and not be outraged. And this is the policies, sir. This is what I'm saying, Lawrence. It's the policies that has affected our community and has turned black people, black communities against the current administration. You know what, Tyrone? You hit it on the head. That's right, Tyrone. Oxymoronic is probably the best show title I've heard in a while. I've read it, wrote it down. It's so good. Oxymoronic.

1:34:11 But it's true, this is what everybody's seeing. I just want people to calm down. Stop watching your social media feed. There's nothing to be afraid of here. And besides, we're not going to vote our way out of the mess. We got a lot more to do. It's not just who's president. It won't help if Harris ever became president, but it's not going to happen. And she's so lame, she's not even showing up to the Al Smith dinner. Yeah, that was pretty lame if you're a Democrat. But I mean, the Al Smith dinner is fantastic.

1:34:53 Now, this has been around for a long time. And the best one, I'd look, we didn't have any clips or at least I couldn't find anything labeled, is when Trump and Clinton were both there and he was busting on her and she was busting on him. And it was funny. And of course, the media is like, oh, Trump is not funny. He's no good. And now she's not even going to show up. Here's Cardinal Dolan. Why is he an important piece of this? Is it some kind of religious dinner? Hmm. I have no idea. We're disappointed. We were looking forward to giving the vice president an enthusiastic welcome. And we kind of, we were confident that she would find this. You know, she speaks very much about the high ideals and how it's good to get away from division and come together in unity and all. That's what the Ailsmith dinner.

1:35:47 is all about. We haven't given up yet. We're not used to this. We don't know how to handle it. This hasn't happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation. And remember, he lost 49 out of 50 states. I don't want to say there's a direct connection there, but so we're not used to this. And we're not giving up. You know, who's been a help to us, Lauren, is Senator Schumer and Governor Hochul. They're both They both are working hard to see that they convince her to come. So there's still a chance. Yeah, Senator Schumer said to me, he said, I don't think she made the decision. I think her schedulers are saying she can't make it. So we're not giving up. We hope she's here. Oh yeah, yeah.

1:36:26 schedule. She doesn't do anything, she doesn't have interviews or do much of anything, but her schedule has interfered with this show. I thought that this election cycle, our fourth now in the life of the show, I thought I was going to be really sick of it, but it's kind of taken an interesting twist. This is... They're all different. This is very different because this is not a serious candidate. She's just not. You know, in fact, she's lazy. We've discussed this. Yes. Yes. This is just too much work. At some point, she goes, I want to go to this thing for. If I don't want to, I can't talk. I don't want to do this. And you follow the whole Janet Jackson thing. That was pretty funny. Yes, I did. She's not black. Yeah. She's not black. And the view, of course, had to have a whole long conversation about it.

1:37:22 I don't know if you want to hear that or not. You got that? Yeah, of course I got it. You want to hear it? No, first let's play the uh... Actually, we should probably protest view clips. No. Janet Jackson is not backing down from the wild statements she made about Kamala Harris. She's not black, Jackson told the Guardian newspaper. Her father's white. That's what I was told. I was told that they discovered her father was white. Harris's father is black. He was born in Jamaica. But Jackson insisted on repeating the wacky conspiracy theory first raised by Donald Trump seven weeks ago. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. That's also not true. The wacky conspiracy theory came up years ago.

1:38:08 They came up years ago. And that Trump clip is out of context. Yes, completely out of context. Anyway, here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, stand by because we're going to give you a trigger warning. At the tone, a clip from The View will be played. Shelter in place. Superstar Janet Jackson just did a wide-ranging interview with British newspaper The Guardian. But most of the focus is on when she was asked her thoughts on VP Kamala Harris possibly becoming the first black female president. She said, she answered by saying that she had heard that

1:38:44 Harris's father was white, which we all know is false. And a staffer claims that he was fired for issuing an apology in her name and that her team certified he wasn't authorized to speak on her behalf. Now, Jackson has not responded to requests for comment, but no matter how you feel about celebs speaking out politically, you know, Is it okay for somebody to say, you know, I don't know, I made a mistake. Well, she hasn't said that she made a mistake. We don't know what she said because it's been one thing and another. That's Anna Navarro. There's something dirty about listening to The View. You feel just scuzzy.

1:39:29 You know what I mean? Just like this, like a filth, dirt just comes over you and like, it's a creepy show. Yes. Look, I think Janet Jackson, like the guests are all creeps. Yeah. Well, here's Anna, because, you know, they had a whole conversation about this. Every other American, whether you're a celebrity or not, has a right. to endorse, support or not support whomever they want. So she's got every right to not like Kamala Harris if she doesn't want to. But that's not what she said. What she doesn't know, what she did was spread misinformation. And I think it's very irresponsible when you have a platform the way Janet Jackson does. Platform?

1:40:06 platform. Janet Jackson has a platform. She does? What is this? What is the name of this platform? It's Janet Social is the name of her platform. ...to spread misinformation based... on a racist allegation by Donald Trump, right? It was Donald Trump who tried to say Kamala Harris just turned black. So let's just go through the 101. Kamala Harris is the daughter of two immigrants. Her mother is South Asian from India. Her father is black from Jamaica. Here is a picture for all of you who need or for Miss Jackson, if you're nasty.

1:40:42 I feel like a picture of Kamala also would have done, Kamala Harris would have done the trick. But what's so great about this is this, this particular brand of gaslighting is by looking at the nuance, what it meant is meant by black. You know, when we say black in America, we typically mean ADOS, American descent of slavery. That's what black is. And that's what Barack Obama was not, Michelle Obama was, is, she's got other identity issues.

1:41:19 So they're really just, they're really just, you know, splitting hairs here over skin color. This is the real racism. Yep. This is, this is, this is systemic racism on this show. The view is systemically racist. Listen, we forget that we live in information silos. And this is so different than how the media was even 10 years ago where people largely got their news and their information from legacy media where there was a lot of, what are you lady? What is legacy media compared to The View? Your legacy media. Objectivity and a fact-checking involved. So if you perhaps get, and I'm just saying this for an example, get all your news on Facebook and you lean right of center, that algorithm is monetized and going to tee up information that reinforces your own beliefs. If you're a Trump supporter online, you very likely won't encounter ever some of the worst things that he has said. The same does go for the left.

1:42:14 to I often don't know if some of the biggest scandals are the worst things that he's said about people or things that he's done. And I think if you take the judgment out and just kind of get back to facts and then trying to persuade people, it helps. Oh, because you know, really it's the New World Order who has determined this. This is the number one most severe warning in the short term we have globally. Misinformation and disinformation. The World Economic Forum said this is our greatest... The World Economic Forum says it? Oh, well, pump the brakes. Risk in the next few years, and it's not just this country, it's everywhere. And a few reasons you mentioned that, you know...

1:43:13 Misinformation and disinformation. I like the fact that they're discussing this after years and years and years of Sonny Hoskins saying she was black and it turns out she's Spanish. And her ancestors were slave owners. And they were slave owners. owners owners oh no risk in the next few years and it's not just this country it's everywhere and a few reasons you mentioned that you know you've got the algorithm but you also have internal people like you know Donald Trump who ironically created or coined the term fake news willingly and on the daily it seems perpetuating false stories on purpose but then you also have foreign adversaries we recently learned of Russia paying millions of dollars to content creators doing this the big message here is going back to like journalism talk about your misinformation right there right there

1:44:09 Oh, well Russia was paying millions of dollars to content creators. Now that's not exactly what happened. Education 101, which is you never single source a story when you're looking anywhere in journalism We're always taught you have to back it up in media for as much flack as media gets for being leaning We can get fired or in trouble for not being able to source where we got our story what this really is about What crap well a boot what this really is about? goes back to Michael Jackson and

1:44:51 I did not, I don't think I had got the clip here, but when Michael Jackson was being, I believe based on my interactions with Michael Jackson, he was asexual, not a pedophile for sure. Trump came out, because Trump knew him pretty well, and Trump said, you know, this is bullcrap. He's being railroaded. Actually, I have the clip here. And he's played with my kids. He's just he's a guy who loves children. He's a little child like himself. But who was the prosecutor or maybe district attorney at the time? Who? Kamala Harris.

1:45:37 Ah, listen. Michael's been a long time resident of Trump Tower and last night the Donald strongly reiterated his defense of Jackson with Larry King by going after the accuser's mother. She's had plenty of experience at going after people and she goes after them viciously and violently and I saw a story and I read another story about some of the things she's done and I don't believe it. But you know what it's like when an indictment comes down? It's tough. It's presumption. It's tough, it's tough to win.

1:46:30 But I have a feeling he's going to win, Larry. The interesting thing is I've known Michael from many different standpoints and Michael would spend a lot of time with my kids. I have beautiful kids and at the time, like at Mar-a-Lago and even in Trump Tower, the kids were very young. Michael would come, play with the kids. He just loved children. He was not a child molester. And so this is what's really going on. This is why Janet Jackson... Our clip archive is unbelievable. This is why Janet Jackson comes out and says, you know, she's against Kamala Harris because she knows exactly what Kamala Harris did to Michael Jackson. It's amazing that this comes back, isn't it? And it's amazing nobody else but you in this case, because I sure didn't have this,

1:47:16 picked up on this. This is the kind of shallow nature of the reporting we get and analysis we get on mainstream media and the view in places like that. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the C in kudos for Crowder say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora! Good morning to you Mr. Alan Kray, I'm our ship Seaboost of Graffiti, I understand somebody watered dames in the air. Dames in the air and the knights and the dames out there. Yes, and we have a lot of trolls in the troll room. Let's see how many we have in the account. I don't know, what is supposed to be good for a Thursday? Because I'm always... 1800. Oh, we have 1992 at the peak.

1:48:03 All right. All right. At the peak, but what's now? 1889? 1898? 1898. Sounds right. Yeah, sounds right. All right, we have a full quorum. Hello, trolls. Good to see you all here. I actually gave the trolls kudos on the new media show when I was being interviewed, saying, you know, they're really what make the show. What's the new media show? The new media show is Todd and Rob in the afternoon. Todd and Rob in the afternoon. Todd and Rob in the afternoon. They're the afternoons later on the 8th. They've been doing that show for 18 years or something. No, that can't be it. They've been doing the show for a long time. And then, you know, Todd owns Blueberry. He started one of the first hosting companies, Blueberry. And Rob is, he's worked at every hosting company in the world. And he also worked at Microsoft on the Zoom.

1:48:53 He has a very interesting podcast career. So I talked about the trolls. Well, it's really the producers, but a lot of the producers are trolls and they sit in our troll room. And I think we were leading 15, 16 years ago when we started by doing live shows. We were leading on this. It's the way podcasts in the future will go. People want to be a part of something. So whether they're trolling, and I might pick it up from time to time, or they give us some information like JPCers, you know, the trolls are a part of the show. That's what differentiates us from radio. Radio is like, you can call in, be caller 100 to win a t-shirt. Here, you're a part of the show, man. You're a part of the show. And we do it twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays, and we're very happy to be here.

1:49:48 You can join the troll room at trollroom.io. You can listen to the stream 24-7 right there and jump in and troll away if you want to. We should mention that Horowitz, your protege, also employs a similar tactic. He does. He uses the troll room. Yes. And does he read anything from the... Well, he calls it the chat room. It's not really a troll room. It's a chat room over there when you guys do the show. But he's watching what people say, right? Yeah, as far as I know. Yeah, well, I've taught him well. Horowitz is good. He's a good man. I love him. Good guy. He's smart. Has a future in this game. As long as he sticks with you. Because that's the secret, we all know it. He's got his own podcast too, that's pretty good. Yeah, The Disciplined Investor.

1:50:32 Exactly. He had Scaramucci on the other day. That's pretty funny. Yeah, I missed that one. I was gonna catch it too. Well, it's a podcast. You can go back and find it in your modern podcast app. Oh, I never thought of that. Yes, your modern podcast app, which you can find at podcastapps.com. Be updated within 90 seconds of the publishing of this show and many other shows. Todd, actually on the new media show yesterday was reading off some more takedowns from Spotify. You know, they'll take down individual episodes even. I find that the weirdest thing. You know, we don't like what you said there on the five minute mark, so we're killing this one. I think we're at 12.12 now. You just threw out another W word. Sorry.

1:51:12 It's on you. I didn't even know I did that. It's bad enough that we're both at 12-12. I'm usually pretty good at this. No, you would have stopped at four. Yeah, this W word has got a mind of its own. It's nasty. It is very nasty. It's a nasty, nasty word. We live on value for value. I just did a 13 minute piece for a Dutch conference podcast, knowledge conference. Yeah. What's that all about? All about value for value? No, it's all about advertising and marketing. I just said, you know, that's all great, but it's censorship. You really want to go value for value. It's a form of, yes. Of course it is. If you're just even not being able to talk about the competing product.

1:52:01 It's your self-century. That's why you won't see that woman, Jillian, whatever her last name is, on Fox again. She'll never be on Fox again once you're talking down the big pharma, no way. Yep, she talked it, she na- it was not, it was, people should go back and think if they have that thing on tape and listen to her, she goes off. I mean if we actually had advertisers, we wouldn't be able to talk about Black Rifle Coffee, wouldn't be able to talk about any resume services or any good idea supply, you know, because we have bad idea supply. None of that. We wouldn't be able to do any of that. Bad idea supply. It's a great store. You know, we wouldn't be able to talk about Kirkland as we'd be advertising for... Cusco. Cusco.

1:52:53 Where's our money from Costco? Where's our Costco check everybody? A lot of people picked up on that tip of yours. Anyway, instead it's Value for Value, Time, Talent or Treasure where we just give you the show. The show is out there, it's on the podcast, all of them are still in the feed, you can go back listen anytime, do anything you want, you can copy it. In fact we encourage that. We encourage you to copy it, hand it to people, put it other places, just leave it intact so that we have the thank you segment in there so we can thank our producers. And you can help us with time, talent or treasure. That would be a great talent or time move by helping promote the show. And a lot of people do that. We have people who we've never set up. And this is another part of our of our genius. We didn't know it at the time, but, you know, getting websites up and running and managing servers is very costly.

1:53:43 We don't have money for that. We're not CNET. We don't have free food. In fact, the opposite. We don't have any caboose with free food out there. So instead, producers have an obligation to work on the show and help out. And that one time when there's a topic that is something that you know about, you need to email us, which is usually just me because it's hard to spell Dvorak. And you say, hey, I have any complaints. Well, we just got a note from one of our friends about Boeing. You know, Boeing just had the best and final contract offer amongst this strike and one of our producers who

1:54:26 Works in the business. I don't want to disclose Says Boeing in Washington State, California and Oklahoma have let all of their contract engineers go and now they hear them talking about Furloughing the direct employee engineers for one week each month to save cash flow the seven the 737 max the failed space capsule fired space defense executive and now a union mechanic strike and I'm hearing from several buddies at other aircraft companies, they're calling me looking for a new gig as other companies related to this now are preparing to cut. So Boeing is, I think they're dead in the water, John.

1:55:11 I really think that, you know, this is... Well, they're not dead in the water because they're government. So... Well, okay. Someone's got to take this over. This is... Isn't this... Where's Soros? No, Elon. Elon. Yeah, Elon. He could take it over. Yeah. He could do it. Yeah. Well, the space division. I don't know about airplanes. I guess he could do that. He could do it. Those Chinese airplanes look pretty good. Yeah, that's where it's headed. I would fly them. I don't think I'm not too worried about the Chinese 737 knockoff. It looks okay. You get an airworthiness certificate. It's good. You know, best price. I'm sure it's the best price. We also have artists who do a lot of

1:55:59 prompt jockeying these days, although I don't think this one was a necessarily an AI creation the Now you can see all of the artwork that is submitted at no agenda art generator comm another website. We didn't make Another fine example of value for value. Thank you, sir. Paul couture Nestworks came in for episode 1697, we titled that Nito, Nito, which is spelled lowercase, N-E-A-T dash O, Nito. And had just this interesting collage, I would say, of our AI segment.

1:56:39 with a robot and the notebook LM buckle up and the Walkman, which of course was the exploding Walkman within the HIZI, which is about our Our Oprah takeoff even has John's Oasis in there. It was just a collage of stuff with some graffiti type lettering, which we liked and so we chose it. We appreciate the work that Nestworks did on that one. I don't think that was... I think that had to be a, if there was any AI involved, it had to be a hybrid. Yeah, it could be hybrid. Yeah. You get your main thing and then you're...

1:57:16 Jump on it and you at the graphic and then you add this other stuff and a lot of otherwise It's just I don't know what prompted you is to get all those crazy things going on. Yeah Well a lot of well, it's only gonna get worse. You know the more people put I mean I tried to do a Logo the other day and it misspells the words and it does. Oh, yeah Yep 13. Horowitz is using it for the art for DH Unplugged. Yeah, well, it'll progressively get worse. It'll get worse. It'll get worse. It might get worse, might get better. Nah, it might get better. They don't give you one choice. You usually get four choices every time you put a prompt in. Or more, depending on your system. And you know, then you could

1:58:02 massage it a couple times. I think sometimes it takes longer to do it that way than actually do the art. I literally had to ask five times, no spell, no agenda. And he'd be like, no. adjourn. You know, it couldn't get no agenda right. I don't know why. It's very, very unpredictable. Are you putting quotes? Yes. Yes. Unpredictable results. So we had Sir Ned who had a nice hot take, a nice piece of art but didn't really... We had one piece we were going to comment on. Which well we liked the stowaway by Scaramanga. We kind of it was between the Yes, we did the art we chose and Scaramanga's mouse which was very cute. There's a little mouse there in the in the broccoli and carrots

1:58:49 What else? There was hot takes with two old Adam and Johns, which we're never gonna choose that one. We're not gonna make ourselves look like old white dudes. Yeah, we're already old white dudes. Who needs it? Seriously. What else was there? Who needs the aggravation? Puffy's bad boy oil, which was just Nico's sign, but it was too simple. It was too simple. I don't remember what we were gonna comment on. It had to be the scaremonger mouse. Yeah, what was wrong with the scaremonger? He was too cute. No, it just wasn't as interesting overall and it was a mouse and food and yeah It was kind of gross as you think about it. I think there's just something repulsive about the idea I like Parker Parker Pauly's P Diddy in the Epstein suite very Very dark very dark humor

1:59:37 But thank you, thank you artists. The people who do the real work are Dutch masters and it shows every single time. We can pick them right out like Nessworks. Right up there with Rembrandt and Van Gogh. This is beautiful. No agenda art generated. Much of this is frameable. Oh, most of it is frameable. I mean, it's just, it's beautiful. Oh, you know, I got a note from... And you can get, by the way, you can go, when you click on these, you can see there's a huge version. There's different sizes and you can click on the big giant size, download that and you can print it out. I want to frame it. I want to remind everybody that a lot of this art shows up at noagendashop.com on t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, all kinds of wonderful products. noagendashop.com. And I got a note

2:00:24 from one of our producers who is a millennial and he sent me a beautiful note. He owns and started with his wife the company OPWay. Are you familiar with this? No. OPIEWay.com makes handcrafted sneakers. from suede and leather and a very beautiful high-end product. Really? Yeah, take a look at it. Opieway.com. And he's been, he's in the, you know, O-P-A? O-P-I-E-W-A-Y. Opieway. Opieway.com. And, um, yeah, it's a nice product. Very nice product. Oh, yeah. These are fancy looking. Yeah, fancy looking. You know, the kind you can wear under your suit if you go to the Academy Awards and you're a hipster.

2:01:09 And he says, you know, you guys have kept us sane while we were building this company. I just want you to know there's some millennials who are grinding away and this is grinding away for sure. Yeah. And he says, you know, and your show has really helped us and we appreciate it. And it's named after that kid. They have two young, two young kids. One is named Opie. The other one's named way. I forget that right now. Forget that. And he says, um, Is it okay if we make a no agenda sneaker? I said, absolutely. You know, same parameters as the shop. Don't put our faces on it, but you can use it. You know, funny if you put no agenda on the side of one of these sneakers, because he's, he's does a demo on this, on this website here with a Nike logo. And if you, if that was no agenda stylized on the side and you wore these sneakers around, no, it would not necessarily be associated with this show. It would just be kind of a cool sneaker. It'd be very, it's a cool, cool sneaker.

2:02:08 Yeah. And I said, you know, do the same as the shop. Like, you do whatever you do. You be you, boo, and send us a donation from time to time if it works out. We don't want any. If it was the shoes, that wouldn't hurt. You sound like Tina. She's like, hey, I want some sneakers! I said, but he wasn't offering sneakers. She's got a clue. You don't. He wasn't offering sneakers to you. Yeah, but I want some sneakers. You don't even wear sneakers. Well, I'll wear these. These are beautiful. Anyway, so just another way that time, towns, and treasure fits into a our entire system here. And this is the moment in the show where we like to thank our executive and associate executive producers. Lots of people donate to the show. You can donate in any amount you want, as often as you want, however you want to do it. Some people haven't donated in 10 years and they say, oh, you know, it's about time for me to do something here, which is all fine. It's all good. It's value for value. Whatever value you get out of the show, we just ask you to send it back to us. That's all. It's that simple. By the way,

2:03:08 Did I hear you had a one-hour conversation with Steve Gibson about newsletter software? Yeah, I did as a matter of fact. Yeah, everyone knows about this. Well, he was he doing talking about it talked about it with Leo. Oh So did you learn anything? Yeah, well a little bit. Yeah. Are you gonna switch up being used something so different program?

We talked about this on the show already a little bit you do pooh-poohed the idea and I said I'm gonna go ahead anyway, okay, he has he has It's, you know, he's not doing his newsletter the way we do ours. Ours are a specific type of newsletter that he doesn't do, and so I'm not sure about the effectiveness, but yes, we had a long chat about that and other gossipy things, which he didn't obviously mention. Oh, gossipy. That were definitely insightful. Oh, you're gonna tell me after the show? You're gonna share? Oh, come on! Oh, I can't, let's hurry up, let's get to the end of the show. I can't wait.

And he sent a note with his donation, handwritten, and he says, in the morning boys, I am donating 33333 to mark my one year anniversary for donating to the show monthly. Wow. We must be very valuable to him. Plus he says, I'm tired of seeing that sad puppy every week. Hopefully this helps. What does this week?

2:05:38 On a recent camping trip in the BWCA, I hit a good friend, Liberal Paul from Ohio, in the mouth and would appreciate it if you'd call him out as a douchebag. Oh, he's a good friend. He will appreciate it. I bet they will. Love the show and appreciate your deconstruction of the media. Based on the attached accounting, please grant me the title of Earl. Sincerely, Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility in the Lands of Red Clay and Cherry Trees. And you are on the list, sir. Thank you very much for your support of the NO Agenda Show.

Commodore, yes, it's a Commodore promotion. Thursday night, we are heading or writing out Hurricane Helene here in Southeast Alabama. And so it's a great time to donate and listen live, really. I mean, you might not be able to listen live. And pray and request prayers for those affected. As always, love the show. They get a lot of wind. They do have a lot of wind. It's a windy one. Love the show and look forward to each episode. Sir Leighton. I haven't had time to look into it, but a lot of people are telling me the weather charts are showing something different than what they believe is happening. Please elaborate. That they're showing this as being a very severe storm when they believe it is not. I've seen video that looks pretty windy to me.

2:07:12 So I'm not sure. I haven't had the time to look into it. In the interstates, they're supposed to be sustaining at about 65 miles an hour with gusts up to 90. Which is, is that a cat one? It's in that area. It's not going to, I mean once it hits the land, it just falls apart. Falls apart, yeah. All right. Well of course, of course, prayer required. Prayer flare received, Sir Laron.

Check out this great iPhone and Apple Watch app. It's called

2:07:59 Pee water tracker replacement. No water tracking, just tap a button when you pee to track your hydration. People love it! Not a joke. Alright, I don't have an Apple Watch, but Comicstripblogger I'm sure will let me know how well it works. He's all in on the Apple ecosystem. Thank you, John. We'll see you at the Commodore-ing. Commodore-ing. Commodore-ing. Yes, there's a Commodore-ing. Viscount Silverdew to the Silver Dolphins in Eldersburg, Maryland. Comes in with $500. I knew it had been a full year since my last donation. I've been feeling guilty about that with all of the sad puppies going around. The sad puppy has long-term effect, I guess. Yes. I've been jobless as of late. My choice, I'm on a steady break for the CISSP certification. What is that? What is CISSP? I don't know.

2:08:51 I will. So the funds don't go as far as they used to. However, I just saw John's latest newsletter announcing the No Agenda Commodore promotion, and I knew this was the moment to end my douchebaggery. So here's five binges to keep the train a-rolling, and hopefully more to come before another year passes. It also happens that my title changes from Viscount to Earl, and there's another Earl with this donation, to all the other producers and trolls. Let's end the year stronger than we found it. No jingles, but some lovely goat karma to my brother battling a series of health issues. Soon to be Earl Silverdude of the Silver Dolphins. No agenda Commodore. USN, US Navy retired. Basist cyber strike. And CISSP is certified information system security professional.

2:10:43 I find it interesting that somebody could listen to those early shows and still be listening. Eric R. 500, I would like to be Commodore 64. Or if that's taken, no, we can be, you know, we can have a lot of Commodore 64s if anybody wants that. If that's taking Commodore Amiga. Of course, that's no problem.

Walker Campbell in Fleetwood, North Carolina 333 switcheroo this birthday donation is on behalf of our brother who punched us in the mouth over five years ago. We can't thank you enough crackpot and buzzkill. What's his brother's name?

2:12:38 Hmm now if you're doesn't say oh boy, I get Walter Campbell's brother Walter. Well, you know you know if you're ever in southern Vermont make sure to visit his business the crooked Ram restaurant bar and cafe in Manchester renowned for a world-class seafood wood-fired pizza and natural wines, and impeccable vibes. Seriously, book your reservation now if you want some unpretentious gourmet offerings that leave you ruminating on the glorious aspects of life, a true oasis in the chaos of our modern world. We wish everybody peace, happiness, and health, and blessings from our angels, ancestors, and the Almighty.

2:13:24 Big E-Hondo Energy. Visit the crookedramvt.com today. Big E-Hondo Energy! Beautiful. Thank you, Walter. Seems to be a plug for the restaurant. Sure seems that way. Duke of Switzerland, Sir Sander from Zandam, who doesn't know him, he says, can you make this a triple make it rain donation? Oh, still in love with Bambi, Raven, and the other girl. Um, let me see. I didn't expect that. We have Bambi. Was there another girl? I don't think there was another girl at Club 33. Was there? I don't remember. I mean, probably. Hmm. Let me see. Bambi, Raven. Oh, well we had

2:14:16 Now Raven from Reseda and Bambi. No, so I can only do two. I'm only going to do two. Keep on producing. Best podcasting universe. Your Duke of Switzerland, Sir Sander from Zandam.

Associate executive. Associate, I'm sorry. The show has been a big contributor to my sanity as I navigate, this is a long note by the way, as I navigate the fallen world while trying to remain hopeful and cheerful.

2:15:06 Joy, this donation is for your courage and commitment to truth over neutrality. Truth over neutrality. That's interesting. I like it. Yeah, we're committed to truth over neutrality. That's a bumper sticker. I think so. And to offset the haters trying to call you out as having an agenda, which even if true, good. The pursuit of what is right and true trumps a podcast title all day long. Thanks for doing the work. Okay. Perhaps the only thing worse than the leftist noodle boy is the modern man who ignores all glowing glowing, glaring evidence while chasing some lofty and unattainable goal of complete and utter neutrality.

2:15:49 I don't think anybody does that. Usually accompanied by a claim of, I'm not political or I'm not gonna talk politics and usually for social reasons, i.e. an attempt not to lose favor with his wife. You got a problem already. There you go. That's not good. Or fear of being called racist or worse, orange. At least the left is brave enough to have a position Fence sitters and independents in 2024 are nothing more than liberals and libertarian clothing. We all have an agenda, it's just that some are more closely aligned with courage and a sense of what's right rather than cowardice and selfishness. Keep the faith. Fear not," this guy's like, this is like a psycho note. Fear not and pray ceaselessly in Christ. Future, sir.

2:16:39 Uh, Hazimaticus. P.S. Adam is right about the tobacco companies and the food drug industry. Please also wish my smoking hot wife Audrey a happy birthday. Her birthday's on the 26th. Jingles.

Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I picked up a pretty good analysis of Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. Hezbollah. That I thought was what people should listen to because it is, it kind of levels out the playing field here since we're

2:21:48 Promoting Israel on this show it seems. Uh-huh. But first, can we play, let's play a kind of an overview. This is the, I have two overviews. One from Democracy Now, which hates Israel. Yes. And you might as well play the warning if you want. Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound. All right. Is that one first? Yeah, please.

2:22:31 599 people, including 50 children. Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched dozens of drones and rockets at Israel, including a long-range missile fired toward Tel Aviv that was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. Israeli public media is reporting Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant is readying troops for a possible ground invasion of Lebanon. In Beirut, officials say they've secured shelters for 10,000 people displaced from southern Lebanon. Some of the evacuees were forced into the same shelters they fled to nearly two decades ago, during Israel's July 2006 assault. This is Ferya Messen, a 58-year-old man who narrowly survived—a 58-year-old who narrowly survived a strike that destroyed her family home.

2:23:23 The rocket landed in front of me. I was shocked. I couldn't hear or see after that. I heard on the military channels that IDF has been given the go for the ground invasion into Lebanon. Well, I found the whole, and there's another report here from NTD, but I'm going to skip that one. We're not given any background on this that's meaningful in the mainstream media. And so, again, NTD found one of these guys who can give us some background. And when you listen to it, you realize that the Israelis should do what they're going to do, which is ground invade.

2:24:06 I want to play these four clips and it's an analysis LZ has won. And here to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East with us is David Wormser, Middle East Affairs Analyst at the Center for Security Policy. David, thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you again. Now to begin, as Israel and Hezbollah trade strikes, Israel's military chief says there could be a possible ground incursion into Lebanon. What would What would that look like? Is this another war? Well, it's good to be with you, Tiffany. I think another ground invasion is, this would be the third that Israel would have to do over a period of 40 years. If it happens, I would imagine it would happen fairly soon. The Israelis need to move Hezbollah about 30 kilometers north, 20 to 25 miles north of the border because

2:25:01 Hezbollah sits on the border ready to commit against Israel what Hamas did to Israel in the south, namely to cross the border, seize hundreds of hostages and kill thousands. So the Israelis are unwilling to live with that, so they have to push this north. But at the moment, that's a very dangerous war for both the Lebanese and the Israelis. So what you're seeing is the Israelis do all the preparatory work. The first thing is they took out the command and control, and that was the famous Bieber attack, and then the walkie-talkie attack. and then essentially killing off the leadership in targeted strikes. Lately what you've seen is a lot of preemptive strikes against missiles so that when the war begins, Israel expected between 5,000 and 10,000 missiles to be hitting Israel per day. This essentially preempts that, so it tries to remove as much of that from the battle as possible so that the Israelis can focus on the ground.

2:26:00 I saw a video of a huge explosion in Lebanon, like mini-nuke level. Is there anything you can say about that? Yeah, that was I think an ammo dump or something. Now of course we still don't know what's really going on here. You have to listen to these clips you have to take Israel's side in this and I think most of it is brought out here in clip two. Now Israel has repeatedly said that their goal isn't to seek a ground war rather it is to push Hezbollah north of the Latani River which is what Hezbollah agreed to do back in 2006. Now talk to Tell us about the history here and how that plays into what we're seeing unfolding now. The United Nations, in the last Israeli invasion in 2006, what happens is in 1978 Israel was attacked by the PLO on a particularly horrible, after years of missiles from the PLO.

2:26:51 the Israelis, and a bus attack that killed 40-some Israelis, invaded and took a small strip of land. They withdrew eventually. Again, another major attack and violence. The Israelis re-invaded in 1982. this time held on to a piece of land until roughly 2000 to prevent this from happening again. The Israelis withdrew and Hezbollah moved in immediately and by 2006 they had attacked Israel, seized some hostages, three soldiers, killed people and constantly rocketing northern Israel. So Israel in 2006 moved in again

2:27:31 this time about 50 miles in, and the UN passed a resolution 1701 that demanded all Israeli troops leave Lebanon, which they did, and they complied. The border be set, which is what happened with the UN mission a few years later, and Hezbollah stay withdrawn, namely the Israelis pushed them back. They can't move forward below a certain point. which Hezbollah instantly violated. And then second, Hezbollah was supposed to disarm because it's a militia. It's not part of the Lebanese government. And they didn't. Oh, flag on the play. So 1701 is the key here. Nobody discusses this detail. The UN came in and told Israel to do something and told Hezbollah to do something. Israel complied. Hezbollah did not.

2:28:26 Well, important there is, and this is what I hear from people in Lebanon, is like, they're sick of it too. Like, these Hezbollah guys are a pain. The Lebanese don't want this nonsense. Of course they don't. Their country is already teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Let's go to clip three. Hezbollah never lived up to its side of Resolution 1701, and that's now the Israeli demand. that Resolution 1701 be actually implemented. And if the UN and the world doesn't force on Hezbollah to live up to its terms, the Israelis will go in on the ground and force Hezbollah to live up to its terms.

2:29:12 And with these latest developments, President Biden has signaled while an all out war is possible in the Middle East, the window for negotiations is still there. Now, reports also cite an Israeli official saying that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is open to U.S. efforts to mediate the tensions with Lebanon. What would that look like? What would be an ideal that Israel would accept? Yeah, the Israelis basically need Hizballah to be deployed north. on the border so that they can strike Israel any day of the week to commit an October 7th like massacre and that a good number of the short-range missiles are distanced from the Israeli border. The vast majority of the missiles that Hezbollah has are short-range, so if you move them back 40 miles or 20 miles even, you've removed a lot of those missiles from being able to hit Israel, and you've removed almost all of them from hitting big Israeli cities.

2:30:08 So that's what the Israelis are really after. And they're using resolution 1701, UN resolution 1701, basically as their negotiating position, that if Hezbollah lives up to 1701, then that's the end of the crisis with Hezbollah. So is there anything in this analysis that explains why Hezbollah is doing this? Because they're assholes. Are they doing the bidding of Iran? Well, they do discuss a little bit of that. I mean, that's basically what you heard here about 1701 is the part I wanted to play so people have some idea that what this is based on is some UN thing. There was a big UN, UN, UN. So one side goes along with it. They both agree. And then one side does it and the other side doesn't. That's the problem that we have up there. And so that's the reason that this whole thing is taking place. It's not because

2:31:04 Netanyahu being a nutcase. Now there is a little bit more discussion, there's a bonus clip number four, which kind of veers off and talks about Iran a little bit. And now as the conflicts in the Middle East hang over the US elections, a spokesman for former President Trump said he was briefed about the alleged Iranian plot to assassinate him, adding that quote, these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months. What do you make of this, especially when it comes to the topic of elections free of foreign interference? Yeah, well, I mean, an assassination attempt by a foreign government is obviously the highest form of election interference.

2:31:45 Iran is really the story here. We can talk about Hamas, we can talk about Hezbollah, but these are all battlegrounds, pieces on the chessboard that Iran is moving around. And it's very afraid of American policy going in a certain direction that could be tougher against it. The Iranians have killed people abroad who were standing in their way. consistently, since literally the day they took office, they killed their opposition and Iranians abroad who opposed them, anybody who violated Islam in their mind. They passed a fatwa that said you need to kill them. And we saw with Salman Rushdie, who was one of the victims of those fatwa, 40 years later, they did it. So there's no expiration date on their murderous directives.

2:32:36 And after Soleimani was killed, they basically, outright, openly, brazenly said they'll kill him. They'll kill President Trump for having done that. And they've been trying and they annually put out new videos fantasizing about how they would kill him, quite graphic videos. So there's no surprise here that President Trump is in their crosshairs and they're trying hard to assassinate him as well as other former officials, John Bolton, Brian Hook, and others who they see as having been anti-Iranian. Now, okay, couple of things here. First of all, I find it always dangerous because they don't say Lebanon, they say Hezbollah. They don't say Gaza or Palestinians, they say Hamas. But when it comes to Iran, it's just Iran.

2:33:25 But it's not. It's the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or, you know, the mullahs or whatever it is. What do we call it? What name do we put on those guys? Darrell, you tell me. I don't know. But I find it a little precarious because there's a lot of nice people in Iran. Yeah. I mean, you know. And they're all young. Very young. Very pretty. Very demure. Well, I have a clip here about Trump, about this very topic. If I were president and a former president and a leading candidate, I'm the leading candidate by far to be the next president.

2:34:09 That leading candidate was under threat, but if I were the president I would inform the threatening country in this case Iran that if you do anything to harm this person we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. We're gonna blow it to smithereens. You can't do that. And there would be no more threats. There would be no more threats. But right now, we don't have that leadership or the necessary people, the necessary leaders. We have two people, not one. We don't even know who our president is right now. Who is our president right now? We really don't know. But we have two people, not one, that only keep looking. And when you do that, when you just look,

2:35:00 Trouble always ensues, so it's big trouble for our country. Meanwhile, we have the president of Iran in our country this week. We have large security forces guarding him and yet they're threatening our former president and the leading candidate to become the next president of the United States. Certainly a strange set of circumstances. I have some better audio of him talking about Iran. They're eating the dogs! There you go. But we are not sitting still as the United States because war is always a racket, always good for money. Let's send some troops. The US is sending additional troops to the Middle East in response to the escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon.

2:35:46 The Pentagon did not provide specifics on the number of troops or what their task will be once in position. It comes after Israel launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah weapon sites in Lebanon. Lebanese officials say at least 490 people were killed in yesterday's strikes and more than 1,200 wounded. Hezbollah launched attacks of its own over the weekend, firing at least 100 rockets into Israel, another 75 this morning. The escalation in violence comes as world leaders are in New York this week for a meeting of the UN General Assembly. And if we can move off of Iran into the new world order, who is in New York. Before we do that, we could play a couple of clips from the UN meeting that was just mentioned. That's what I was going to do.

2:36:34 Why don't you go ahead? I have two. I have the UN hate Israel speeches from Democracy Now! who would only play such things. Here in New York, world leaders gathered for the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday, condemned Israel's assaults on Palestine and Lebanon. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and said the failure of nations to stop the violence showed the United Nations system and Western values are dying. Chilean President Gabriel Boric also condemned Israel's actions. Why? I refuse to choose between the Hamas' terrorism or the massacre and genocidal behavior of Netanyahu's Israel. We do not have to choose between barbarities. I choose humanity. We denounce the illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories and the de facto denial of the existence of an independent Palestinian state by the occupying country.

2:37:32 U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres accused Israel of violating the United Nations Charter and said too many governments are turning a blind eye to international human rights conventions and the decisions of international courts. Meanwhile, Joe Biden delivered his last speech to the United Nations as U.S. president, calling for a diplomatic solution to end Israel's war on Gaza, even as his administration continues to provide weapons and billions of dollars in aid to Israel's military. No mention of 1701 by her. And I just wanted this last clip, I'm just gonna get it out of the way for you, because this is a no agenda exclusive. No, an exclusive. This is the UN speech, Zelensky, a summary of his lengthy speech at the UN. Zelensky added that more aid from Western nations is needed. My money, my money!

2:38:29 The big kind of thing that happened at the UN was not discussed much in the M5M, also known as legacy media. And that is the... I'm taking a page from the view here. That is the pact for the future. The pact for the future, which was... Was it pact? I think that means an agreement, everybody signed on to it, a pact. The pact for the future which of course reasserts, reconfirms all of the SDGs, the sustainable development goals and then some. The UN General Assembly kicked off a marathon week of diplomacy with a summit for the future. I called for this summit because our world is heading off the rails.

2:39:17 and we need tough decisions to get back on track. The signature event adopted by consensus a wide-ranging pact for the future. By consensus means there are about eight countries that said no we're not signing this nonsense. A blueprint aimed at ensuring that international institutions can deliver in a world that has changed dramatically since they were created in 1945. Russia, which raised numerous objections to elements of the pact as the months-long negotiations were wrapping up last week, sought to amend the document moments before its adoption, but failed. The pact has lofty goals for eradicating poverty, ending hunger, and building peaceful and inclusive societies. It also seeks to bridge the digital divide. Now the hard work of implementing it begins. But our people know instinctively

2:40:09 that this will only be talk unless there's a fundamental change in what we do and how we do it. And who is seen and heard in the corridors of decision making. The Secretary General met one on one with several world leaders Sunday, including Leslie Voltaire, a member of Haiti's transitional presidential council. They discussed the need to ensure an elected government is in place by February 2026 as agreed by Haitian stakeholders. I love that. Yeah, we'll fix that in 2026. Don't worry about it. It's good. It's good. Haitian stakeholder. It's good for, yeah. Oh yeah, the stakeholders of Haiti. We know what that means. Rape them. Let's get all, let's get everything out there we can. Yeah, I get it from Democracy Now! Hold on, hold on. I want to tell you about the pact for the future. Oh, okay. Well, I was going to tell you the Haitians are suing Trump. Yeah, well, we'll get to that.

2:41:03 So the countries that did not join in the pact, although of course it was consensus. Well obviously the United States wouldn't join such a stupid thing. Yeah, we did. Russia, Iran, Chad, also known as Chad. Chad. Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and Nicaragua. Haiti? No, Haiti did not sign on because what this pact enables is a full digitization to control the masses. The pact includes the idea of biometric digital ID for every global citizen. Of course, a lot of it is tied to banking and what we would call social credit scores. Did China sign on? Yes, China did. So they're good. They're probably providing the technology.

2:42:05 Now, as that lady just said, you know, they do all just words not deeds. So we got to do it. We got to do it. And the and I did not get this clip, but the Guterres, the UN Secretary General said, you know, part of this pact in the event of a global shock gives us some extra powers. Of course, a global shock would be determined by him. Sure. So it's more posturing and people always get worried. Oh, United Nations. But I think they're just words. They should shut down that thing. I mean clearly if 1701 doesn't mean anything to them. Yeah, they don't ever meant, yeah. Exactly. They don't do anything. So I do have a following on your UN exclusive of Zelensky. Zelensky was in the United States. Today he is presenting the victory plan.

2:42:58 to President Biden. Again? In fact, he's presenting it to everybody. As his motorcade approached the ammunition plant, a small number of supporters gathered to show their appreciation for Volodymyr Zelensky's visit. It's like three people and a dog. Hey, Ukraine! What did he say? Yeah, Ukraine. But the Ukrainian president was there to give thanks himself as factory workers ramp up production of 155mm artillery shells, rounds desperately needed by the Ukrainian army to fight off Russian advances. You see, I told you all that Ukraine money goes to us. It's so good. It's good for business.

2:43:37 At one point in the war, Ukraine was firing between 6,000 and 8,000 of the shells per day, which started to deplete American stockpiles. The US now aims to manufacture 100,000 rounds per month. The visit kicked off a busy week for Zelensky in the US as he tries to shore up support for Kiev's war effort. After speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday, he'll hold talks with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday and is expected to meet with Donald Trump. Oh, that's very interesting. Yeah, that's dubious. Of course it was just an outrage that the governor of Pennsylvania is there with Zelensky signing the missiles

2:44:24 putting an autograph on missiles that will go into Russia. Yeah, to kill people. To kill people. It's like... Yeah, good ol' Shapiro is there on this... Johnny on the Spy. Have you seen the meme of it? No. They have Zelensky standing there and he's signing what looks like giant butt plugs. Okay. I missed that one. That was good. That was good. Just briefly back to the hostages in Gaza. Gaza. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom had a very strange gaffe. So I call again for restraint and de-escalation at the border between Lebanon and Israel. Again, again, all parties to pull back from the brink. I call again for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The return of the hostages.

2:45:22 I mean, I gotta ask... I'm glad you got the long version of that. Yeah, I had to watch three different versions. I said, this has got to be AI. But it doesn't appear to be. He said the return of the sausages. Yeah. What? What? Does this guy have breakfast? He was hungry. Breakfast? He had sausages on his mind. Those delicious British bangers. Bangers. The bangers. What? That is just about the oddest thing. Let me hear it again. The return of the sausages. The return of the sausages. I want all sausages returned. Living. I mean that was... Yeah, I couldn't find any evidence that that was fake. That was bizarre. That was just truly bizarre. I don't know how that happens to you. He said it. It's something you do. Well, I mean... I like the way he does it with flair. Return of the sausages! Bring back my sausage! Yeah, this was bizarre. Very bizarre. These people have no business running anything.

2:46:27 Here's another story that you didn't hear anywhere else. This is on Democracy Now! Did you hear about the shooting at the Harris headquarters? I read an article about it. Let me see. Shooting at Harris. They're shooting. The chancellor of New York City's public school system is stepping down amidst a growing federal bribery investigation. David Banks announcement comes. I'm sorry, that's New York corruption. I miss playing. Wrong clip. Wrong clip. Wrong clip. The Arizona Democratic Party says a campaign office for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tempe was damaged by gunfire overnight Tuesday. It's the second

2:47:03 Second-time bullet holes have appeared in the office's windows in recent weeks. Harris is planning to visit Arizona in the coming days, where she's reportedly planning to visit the U.S.-Mexico border. Well, that's not good. Oh, it's just come on this Arizona with a bunch of guys was driving around with guns and they, you know, sort of like three in the morning, a bunch of drunk kids and they take a couple of pot shots at the headquarters. Okay. Well, I'd be rather upset. There's like the guys in the deep South that keep shooting the stop signs with a shotgun. Yeah. There's a, when we had the sheriff race here in Gillespie County,

2:47:39 The sign for the now outgoing sheriff was shot up by a shotgun. We're getting a cool new sheriff here. There's a new sheriff in town in Gillespie. Did I tell you about this? That my buddy Mike, the former cop from Kerrville with anger management issues, he's going to be the... Anger management guy? Oh yeah. Issues? He's going to be the sheriff? Yeah, no, he's going to be like, he's going to be training the SWAT team, I think. Oh yeah. No, brother. It's going to be... Hey, he's my friend. So he's good now. He's good. Then... I do have one Biden clip about the storm. We didn't talk too much about the hurricanes. We did a little earlier, but we didn't play the Biden clip.

2:48:20 Okay, I'm looking for it. Biden. Well, I only have one Biden clip. Biden vax message. I don't see any other Biden. Yeah. Is that's the one? Yep. Oh. Let me be clear. If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. This is an old clip, John. Is it? Yes. Yes. Biden vaccinated storm. Yeah, yeah for sure. That's a very old clip. Well I got suckered then. Yeah. Says there's a storm going on right now. Let me see. I'm 99% sure that's an old clip. Well it's a good message. Yes, it's what you want to do when there's a storm. Yeah, get vaccinated.

2:49:17 Stacey Plaskett, who is a Democrat representative, she's the one that years back said Donald Trump needs to be shot. You've seen her? Oh yeah. She she's she did it again. She said the quiet part out loud. It was quite telling in this case It was about the FBI What is the point of this subcommittee? Because it's necessary for the public and the media to hear to try and provide cover for the eradication of the Department of Justice and the FBI we are having these hearings so that you become immune and

2:49:56 You become inured to the notion of the removal of the FBI and DOJ. So that those agencies are no longer there to serve as a check against white nationalism, great replacement theorists, Christian nationalists, white fragility, fascists, and the twice impeached convicted felon, former president and would be dictator, Donald Trump. So the FBI is there to get me on three of those six counts? I guess so. That is... I'd bar you, I'd keep, I'd watch my back. We might have some bulls. I live in California, I'm safe. Yeah, you are safe. You are safe. But she's nuts, that woman. How do people vote for people like that? I don't know. Keep them in office. They don't play this, no one watches television. I don't know. They don't listen to no agenda.

2:50:56 So this happened in Sweden, I think it was Sweden. The suicide pod went into effect for the first time and it turns out it was... No, Switzerland. Was it Switzerland? Yeah. Turns out it wasn't legal. They thought that this was a legal thing and I have two clips about this. Somebody used it. I'm sorry? I said somebody used it. Yes. A criminal investigation is underway tonight after the first known death of an American woman in a so-called suicide pod in Switzerland. The woman is described as a 64 year old from the Midwest who had an autoimmune condition. Police say she died in a forest near the German border where the capsule called the Sarko pod was placed. Sarko pod. It's the first time it's ever been

2:51:40 used and it allows a person to release nitrogen gas into the chamber at the touch of a button. That removes all the oxygen and it causes the person to fall asleep and then suffocate. Assisted dying is legal in Switzerland, but only without external assistance. Multiple arrests have been made in this case for incitement and the aiding and abetting of suicide. The inventor of the capsule is Australian physician Philip Nitschke, a known advocate of the right to die movement. There are some people who don't approve of the idea of assisted suicide at all. They would never approve. They're not my beliefs and they're not the beliefs of many people who decide they want to control their deaths.

2:52:18 David, the capsule has now been seized by police. Anyone found guilty of these charges could face up to five years in prison. No, it's kind of interesting. First of all, it's a 3D printed deal. Technology can both amaze and horrify us. Our next story tonight is more about the latter, the horrific part. Courtesy, a new product on the market. A suicide pod. Pod! It is exactly what it sounds like. A pod meant to assist suicides. It is a futuristic looking contraption. Once a person climbs into it, nitrogen gas will be released, oxygen will be eliminated and within minutes the person will die. All at the cost of just $20. 20 bucks?!

2:53:30 20 bucks! By the way, I think Apple should make these for the California market. You know, it looks like an Apple product. It does. It has a nice look. And they called, you know, they took the podcasting thing, so it'd be SarkoPod. Now from Apple. You can pre-order your SarkoPod. I think it would go over well in California. Maybe. You can become a distributor. Ah, not interested. Oh, please. Let's see, did we miss anything? Well, you're on the topic of these suicide things. There was a lot of buzz on Democracy Now and even NTD about, I didn't make a clip, but all these executions of various people around the country, all of a sudden. Executions? Yeah, they're executing people that have been on death row since the 90s. Oh, wow.

2:54:26 They need prison space? And they discussed the fact that one of the reasons for the delay on all these executions is the, although one state does use nitrogen, the rest of the states use lethal injection and they couldn't get the chemicals because the chemical companies wouldn't get the sarcopod. How about fentanyl? Go out with a bang. Just go out to San Francisco and walk down the street and pick up some fentanyl and give that to the guy. I mean, it's like, what's a lethal injection going to do that fentanyl won't do? I did see some of this conversation and I saw people talking about the SarkoPod in this regard. Like, why not just use that? Why do you... Well, I suggested that in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that's where I saw it. Yeah. That's where you got it.

2:55:14 So why not? Why are we still using these antiquated ways of killing people? Which, of course, if you're going to kill babies, I think you should also be able to kill people in prison. You just need to put it on television. That's always been my thing. Well, the sarcopod is not very dramatic. I think the old sparky, some of these electric chairs, that on television would be sparky. Something you'd want to see. Just give us the rights. That's all we care about. Final thing I have is Cheryl Atkinson sat down with Trump. for a long interview. You might have seen some clips around. I have not. Well, the one I pulled is the one thing that isn't discussed very much, which is, I think still should still be an issue with voters. And that is about the COVID vaccines and Trump's view of them. And Sheryl Atkinson, she went there. On COVID, you frequently say at your rallies and so on that you don't feel like you get enough credit on COVID.

2:56:15 But by nearly every assessment, the CDC failed miserably at job one. And yes, the COVID vaccines were developed in record time, but as we now know, they don't prevent infection, illness, or transmission, and they have very potentially serious side effects. Do you think that maybe they were approved too fast and in hindsight based on what we know now? What would you have done differently? Well, I think they're doing studies on the vaccines and we're gonna find out and it'll come out one way or the other But I really had a mandate to get vaccines done and I got them done very quickly in record time The Democrats love it. You know, the Democrats love it and the Republicans don't. It's very interesting. The vaccines, they love it. I have a friend of mine who said to me, why don't you talk about the vaccine? What you did with the vaccine? He's a Democrat, but I'm sure he voted for me. He said what you did was the most incredible thing that any president has ever done. You've saved hundreds of millions of lives all over the world.

2:57:16 And this was just recently, very smart guy. He said, I don't understand why you don't talk about it. And I don't talk about it. But if you go to Pfizer, if you go to some of these companies, they have they have charts and they have all sorts of statistics. And I say, why don't you release those statistics? Let people know. But I don't talk about it. I can say this. The Democrats would love to claim it. The Republicans don't want to claim it. But it'll be determined, I'd say, over the next 12 months. I say this in terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with COVID. I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump. And they had a much easier time because when it came in here, nobody knew what it was. It came from the Wuhan labs, which I always said, but nobody really knew what it was, where it came from, nothing. They knew nothing.

2:58:13 This is where Trump really blows it, every single time, with this old tired story about his Democrat friend. You know, he has the right parts of the story that he should be telling, which is, the Democrats love it, the Republicans hate it. That's funny, that's good. And then he says, hey, you know, we'll find out, we're going to, Pfizer, why don't you release the documents? And then he always has to go into, but I did a great job. He uses the mandate word, I had a mandate. All wrong. All wrong. Yeah. It's unbelievable.

2:58:49 Yeah, that's his Achilles heel. He can't admit to making a mistake. Yeah, it's so unfortunate. And it's really... I find that personally, it's a problem, man. You gotta be able to admit to it. So you're gonna vote Harris? All the way! No, I'm the guy with the... Is the guy with the boot on his head still running? That's my guy. With the free pony? That's my guy. That's my guy. One of the trolls had a very good suggestion. He said, we could save Tupperware if they got into the SarkoPod business. Yeah, and then you just pop the thing to push it down, get a little vacuum seal and boom, you're dead. Good to go. I'm sorry. I was gonna play a clip to play that out.

3:15:05 President Vladimir Putin has warned the West that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles. The Russian leader presented changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine at a meeting of the country's security council. Putin said a nuclear power supporting an attack on Russia would now be considered a joint aggressor. The change in doctrine comes after Putin's warnings to the US and other NATO allies that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons to hit Russian territory would mean that Russia and NATO are at war. The good news is Putin's war is fatal. It is at its core aim. He set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free.

3:15:49 You set out to weaken NATO, but NATO is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before. F-Jump flew and you don't know where, there's fake news, why don't you get your Gitmo fix?

All indications are this bill won't even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason. Donald Trump. Why Donald Trump? Because Donald Trump thinks it's bad for him politically.

3:16:51 Donald Trump. He'd rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it. Trump and the Republican said no. Why? Because they're afraid of Donald Trump. Afraid of Donald Trump. Folks, we've got to move past this toxic politics. The republics have to decide who do they serve? Donald Trump or the American people? Why? Donald Trump. Every day between now and November the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure... Why?
