About this episode

Donald Trump joined Joe Rogan for a three-hour interview in Austin, Texas, marking a significant shift in the 2024 media landscape as the former president addressed topics ranging from JFK assassination files to extraterrestrial life. The appearance coincided with a Kamala Harris rally in Houston where a promised Beyonce performance failed to materialize, leaving Willie Nelson to headline for a disappointed crowd. These high-stakes campaign maneuvers arrive as the Washington Post and LA Times face internal revolts following decisions by Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong to block presidential endorsements.

Former CIA officer Amaryllis Kennedy detailed internal agency protocols to Tucker Carlson, alleging that staff use a Google-based email system and exploit the HCS 404 classification to shield mundane communications from public records. Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has reportedly reclassified information as infrastructure to facilitate social media censorship via JIRA ticketing. In international affairs, Israel launched targeted strikes against Iranian missile production facilities, while Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen outlined a plan to use interest from frozen Russian assets at Euroclear to fund a $50 billion loan for Ukraine.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate 17 years of the Value for Value model with the induction of new Knights and Dames into the No Agenda Roundtable. The anniversary festivities include a deep dive into the "Daddy Longlegs" body double theory following Joe Biden’s energetic apology to Native American communities. John C. Dvorak concludes the session with a practical tip on smooth-edge lid removers discovered during his travels in France.

In other words, a guy goes on the air and talks for three hours. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

CHAPTER 02 / 42 Discussion

Joe Rogan Experience, Donald Trump Interview Analysis

Donald Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience for a three-hour interview in Austin, Texas. The discussion analyzes Rogan's interviewing style as a "good cop" interrogator who managed to keep Trump on track regarding topics like aliens and the JFK assassination. The event is noted as a significant logistical win for Rogan, as the former president traveled to his studio.

joe rogan· donald trump· interview· podcasting· austin· ufc

02:58 Trump, right at the beginning he's going on about something and he just comes back to it. He comes back to it and comes back to it I have to say that after listening to Rogan in this context I put him in as a good cop police interrogator. Excellent interviewer over the years he's become one and he managed to without being a jerk push Trump right back onto the track that HE wanted to hear about because he had interests that he wanted to hear about. Aliens, JFK? He put any and he would push Trump back is getting truck his trump roams around like a you know, he'll come around to some old stories. Look at this chart So and I got no clips from it because for one thing it was boring I thought because there's nothing new to us

03:54 If anything, I think it just showed Trump's personality and willingness to just sit and have a chat for three hours. And that was really what made it fantastic. That's what made it great because we know that in the past Calls have come in from Ivanka and from Eric, and what's the other one? Don Jr. Like yeah really I want to have a dad on the show but you got to come tomorrow lago And I think you know Rose it was like no I'm gonna go tomorrow log you come here, and there'd be no time restriction And I think that's really the win here for Joe and for Trump because it was a calm, relatively calm... Yeah. Now Joe will never have to go anywhere if all people—Trump! Exactly

04:47 He had to go there, and that means everybody has to go. So that was a super win for Joe because he doesn't obviously like going the remote. No of course not! And why bother? Now he's got it made but I I have clips from, at the same time that was going on Tucker was interviewing Amaryllis Kennedy. Oh she's the CIA daughter-in-law? Yes married to RFJ The third. RFJ? Or RFK, whatever. RFL, whatever. Throw it out there. Whatever's in the letter. RFK III she's married and she... I don't know we can run these clips later if you want but well yeah go ahead She went on for an hour two-and-a-half hours

Tucker Carlson Interview, Amaryllis Kennedy CIA Background

Amaryllis Kennedy, daughter-in-law to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a former CIA officer, appeared on Tucker Carlson's program for a lengthy interview. The hosts observe her measured and cautious speaking style, noting her background as an "uncovered" spy who operated without diplomatic cover in Europe and Asia.

05:45 And unfortunately it was like about an hour of content because she was, you could tell. You don't know if she's still a spook or... You could tell she was very cautious. She was not used to doing this I've never seen her before, I've never even seen her and She was...she was very measured in what she said about everything But she said a lot and there's a lot of inside stuff that she brought out Well, I do want to talk about that I just want to stick with Texas for a moment And though I'm gonna bring-I'm gonna weave it around to you John. I'm gonna weave it Good luck! I'm going to weave it around to you

06:20 So what was fascinating about a lot of this Rogan thing, I think J.D. Vance was on Theo Vaughn which i haven't seen it people said that was quite entertaining and that JD Vance came off very good so then we had... Vance is better than Trump I think Yeah yes well he's the translator Except he looks like a kid If you looked at little more mature I think would be better So, the big thing that everybody was waiting for here in Texas a little further up the street in Houston was once again the PSYOP played out.

Kamala Harris Houston Rally, Beyonce Performance Controversy

Vice President Kamala Harris held a campaign rally in Houston, Texas, where media reports suggested Beyonce would perform. While Beyonce appeared on stage to speak about motherhood and reproductive freedom, she did not perform a musical set, leading to reports of crowd disappointment and booing.

05:45 And unfortunately it was like about an hour of content because she was, you could tell. You don't know if she's still a spook or... You could tell she was very cautious. She was not used to doing this I've never seen her before, I've never even seen her and She was...she was very measured in what she said about everything But she said a lot and there's a lot of inside stuff that she brought out Well, I do want to talk about that I just want to stick with Texas for a moment And though I'm gonna bring-I'm gonna weave it around to you John.

07:00 By the mainstream media on people who love Kamala. We have some big news to share for the Harris campaign and that Beehive, none other than Beyonce will appear with Vice President Harris tomorrow in Texas we're learning and NBC's Erin Gilchrist is covering the Harris campaign today from Georgia where she set to appear with Bruce Springsteen. Erin, The Boss Today Queen Bee Tomorrow what more do we know? Queen B tomorrow. You know this is news that a lot of people have been waiting to hear whether or how Beyonce might show her support for Vice President Harris and we have learned from three sources our team has that Beyonce will appear with Vice President Harris tomorrow in Houston, Texas and the source says that Beyonce will perform during that appearance in Texas obviously where she's from so again oh she's gonna perform and of course you did not perform

07:54 She did not perform and I think a lot of people were disappointed once again. They were booing Kamala, they were booing, they're leaving And some people had waited 10 hours supposedly this could be bullcrap But I don't I can believe that they would to see ten hours for free concert yes Yes and then Beyonce comes up on stage and it talks about how she's a mother she's here not as a celebrity but Pay no attention to the outfit, to my entree. I'm not a celebrity. Here's some other... It is impossible not to feel the energy in this room! The positivity, the community, the humanity. We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history

08:48 I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother. Listen to what she says, listen to what she says! She's here as a mother. I'm here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. There it is! I'm here as a mother to kill your baby, that's what i'm here for that's who I am. I'm Beyonce here as a mother right away right away That's all that they have now is uh um... No they have two things no well Trump is Hitler

Donald Trump Austin Rally, Garbage Can Metaphor

Donald Trump held a rally in Austin, Texas, where he compared current U.S. border policies to a "garbage can" for the rest of the world. The segment also notes the rapid viewership growth of Trump's interview on YouTube, which surpassed millions of views within hours of release despite alleged technical friction.

09:33 and kill babies. So here's a short one, so Trump is in Texas And here's your typical report. Former President Trump also made a stop in Texas yesterday while speaking in Austin he compared Biden-Harris border policies to garbage. We're like a garbage can, we're like a garbage can first time I said it was last night speech in Las Vegas 29 thousand people who is an arena we set the arena record that was a big deal arena too We set the record but it was an amazing crowd. The first time I ever said, I don't know just came out like a garbage can for the rest of the world Trump also appeared on the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience He then left for a rally in Traverse City Michigan The former president will be in New York City on Sunday For a rally at Madison Square Garden

10:29 He's going to Madison Square Garden tonight. And of course, they showed a picture of Joe with like one of those eyes all popping out and oh let's get the worst photo of Joe possible. That's what you do in a way though in an interesting way it was kind of revealing for YouTube because I think Joe texted me like 10 o'clock Friday night and is it up already? No, It has been up for an hour Then I look at it and it has a million views. It's a three-hour show, how can have a million views in one hour of release? Yeah, zero... You can't. They can't so obviously alright So how many seconds are you counting YouTube anyway? I think it's up to 30 million now And that's just YouTube the the pop we were combating people pirating this feed on the index We had

Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson, Campaign Musical Performances

Musical legends Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson performed at recent Democratic campaign events. Springsteen's acoustic performance in Georgia was criticized for poor audio quality, while 91-year-old Willie Nelson performed in Houston as the primary musical act following Beyonce's non-performing appearance.

11:24 Last night, like there's another person who was trying to get it in there and was trying to steal Joe's juice. So it is quite that what you do as we're just quite the podcast, quite the podcast. All right so I now I think we should listen to The Spook. There were some other comment I wanted to make about what you were going on about Going on about? Yeah, what's her name showing up and then not doing any performance. Oh yeah Willie Nelson ended up being the performer did you know that part I left that out of most reports No! I mean I saw Springsteen from the night before and i don't know...I wanted to clip it like this has to be doctored It was so bad

12:08 He did Dancing in the Dark acoustic and it sounded so off and awful. I believe it! I don't know, is that really Bruce? I didn't want to clip it for fear of you know looking like a fool Yeah but it didn't sound good Well Willie Nelson was the guy who ended up performing instead of Beyonce and they showed pictures he's 91 Go Willie. He looks like hell, of course but then again he's always looked like hell so there's no big deal yeah and yeah he was the head can you imagine you want to see Beyonce and you end up having to watch Willie Nelson? Nothing derogatory about Willie Nelson but yeah that seems like a bad program even Bruce Springsteen these kids don't want I mean it's just...no this is probably

CIA Classification Systems, Gmail and HCS 404 Usage

Former CIA officer Amaryllis Kennedy describes the internal administrative processes of the agency, claiming that staff use a Google-provided email client similar to Gmail. She alleges that officers frequently use the "HCS 404" (Human Compartmented Sensitive) classification drop-down for mundane communications to ensure they are never subject to public declassification.

13:02 Laureen Powell jobs like yeah, I can make a call to Bruce. I can make it called a wheelie Can't make a call the Queen Bee though can't make her perform She's not crazy no and she's not gonna do acapella or anything Yeah went for be stayed for Willie know left him probably blessed at Willie anyway all right so Amaryllis comes on Tucker now we've played clips of her Talking about her spook career at the CIA. I can't quite remember, but there was something like the old guard was... She's the new guard and he and the old guard was kind of chiding her do you remember any of this? Not really Okay But I'll say a couple things about it. Her she looks like a spook she got that girl look you know one that goes in the field

13:54 She was a fake art collector dealer It's called an uncovered spy, I think. Where she wasn't working for the... She wasn't in as a diplomat or anything at the embassy system? Right so it's not registered is what we say. So you're just really out there. You're real spook. Real spook and she was mostly in Europe, I think Asia but she never went to South America. She does talk about it though. Now the clips that I have are very specific ones about certain things

14:31 One is the first two clips and it unfortunately the first clip is a setup for the second clip And these are long clips all of them because again, and I cut out all the pregnant pauses. I could Good good work It's still too long as she still you just hear her Grinding the gears about can I say this? Can I say oh, she's got our spook filters up They're way up. Yeah, and Tucker's good at trying to get her to talk as much she can and she does bring out it And there's really these three clips which amount about six minutes of material Really bring out two very I thought two very interesting points one second. I only see two you have three It should be amaryllis on classification animals in classification and amaryllis on media corruption No, I do not have that. I don't have her a media corruption

15:30 Well, they're all sent in the same batch. I'll double check the batches while we start if we can start with the other ones you need to start with media corruption? No no media corruptions last okay alright i'll check so she's they're talking about and I broke into it about halfway through their discussion of over because they're talking about bringing out the Kennedy docs and some of these other things and so they discuss saying the over classification which is a discussion topic I don't know. Way before this show ever began, it was always being discussed, oh they're over classifying and she brings out some

16:07 reasonable an explanation for some of it, but isn't clip too. But let's listen to her first set up and here we go I don't understand the justification for that And I don't know why nobody demands like what I want to declassify it Like why shouldn't its our country all these people died We should know right? And I agree entirely and I agree. I mean at the same applies for the 60s. I think ultimately you know When most Americans go to work for a third of their working week, they are working for the government. They're taking that money having spent the day away from their families sacrificing whatever they would prefer to be doing and they don't get to keep any of it. They turn it all over to the government The government works for the people directly I mean they are directly paid by the people and if your boss asks what you've been doing

16:58 And, you know, you say sorry I can't tell you it's classified. It doesn't cut it and are there moments where the actual identity of a source who is preventing nuclear war with the Russians is at stake? Sure but they're actually quite few and far between a bureaucratic inertia here. Some of it is CYA and some of it is probably more nefarious than that, but there's also a lot of bureaucratic inertia and it's one of the reasons I'm excited about the prospect of Elon getting in there to do some surgery on some of that bureaucracy. But CIA 101 when you start, you have this one week

17:47 fill out your tax forms, get the same as you would with any other job. Like nothing sexy about it at all there is just here's the insurance program and the person who is going to work in the coffee shop is sitting next to someone who's about to go down to the farm. It's just everybody goes through it and the email client that you use looks a lot like Gmail I mean its provided by Google and it has all of the normal fields and then an additional field thats for for classification Wow Okay, couple things one. She's borderline frying in the vocals which is a little irksome Yeah totally to Tucker needs some help he's got a hum going on there in the background that it's crazy if you hear that room and three what Gmail they're using a Google product at the CIA huh

18:45 Yeah, well here we go with the real kicker though. And this is and everything she's about to tell you having worked in an administrative state myself I believe it's all to be true and it's a disaster! And here we go. Additional field that's for um... for classification. And it's a drop down menu and when it first drops down, its all check boxes with their own subsets and its hundreds of different classifications all different numbers and codes And you can hover over them and they say when to use them. But there are a lot, and we were told in that first day... In that first course just to make it easy on yourself pick HCS 404

19:36 checkbox it, hit save as favorites. It'll come up every time and then you don't have to worry about it." Well that's human compartmented sensitive information. It's usually reserved for the actual identity or address or identifying details of a source whose life could be in danger for what they're doing and yet here it's being used for I'll meet you at 430 at Dunkin Donuts and everything in between good and bad, nefarious and not. And the problem with that is that it is completely exempt from any declassification threshold ever as a result of this kind of administrative tweak which was either just to save people time or maybe to you know

20:24 reduce the number of things that will ever eventually be published. Now you have class after class after class of CIA officers that, you know just chronically make sure that every single email they ever write will never see the light of day and I think that is being done across government so literally the default is secrecy from the public yeah The default is You will never know how much money was spent, what it was spent on. Whether it was legal you know whether you spend that Tuesday away from your family working to pay taxes and those taxes went to kill someone or went to save someone's life there is no accountability. And there's no way to know? Surprise surprise

21:14 So the default is set up right at the get-go from day one as a maximum and impenetrable classification that never can be released, ever by the nature of the process. Just like the JFK stuff? You can say well let's just declassify all this crap but you can't do it with that classification and including the meetup at the Dunkin Donuts is now super classified to never to see the light of day. Okay, first is ridiculous. First of all gambling? The CIA is doing this not surprised at all but they're not the only ones you have to assume they're all doing it! Of course because that's the easiest way to go on gmail

22:02 On Gmail, right. You know that's the irony of it all. You gotta wonder if it's encrypted at all or I mean the fact that Gmail so you're just using a browser okay? That seems really secure. All of that sounds really secure to me It just sounds like a lot of keystone cops We have we have a lot of spooks who will weigh in and let us know about this email product I'm sure. Yeah, they'll probably just confirm what she says. What's there to say? You know... Can you bring your own iPhone and use that as long as you use Gmail? Okay way to go guys! All right

CHAPTER 08 / 42 Discussion

CISA Information Infrastructure, JIRA Ticketing for Censorship

Amaryllis Kennedy explains how the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) redefined "information" as "infrastructure" at the start of the Biden administration. This legal pivot allegedly allowed the agency to use JIRA ticketing systems to flag social media content for removal, pressuring platforms like Wikipedia and Amazon to comply.

cisa· dhs· jira· censorship· social media· infrastructure

22:45 Have the clip I found it. You're right, I found the the last one Okay now they're talking of this is another did by the way that this went a long time this interview And it was I think people should go track it down and no it's good. Do you think there's that good? You recommend us to JCD I recommended It's if you can put up with the vocal fry and pregnant pauses in this dude The pacing is she doing because it's the filters or because she's interesting She's not interesting. Okay, which I mean what she has to say is interesting But if she doesn't present it in and she's not an interesting person. She's just a kind of um Yeah, I know how did it? She's not uninteresting. She's not like a big dud but she's

23:35 Just so where she's there's a reddest tinsy. She's like those halt it's a halting style that no Can I say this can they say that you can just hear it going on in her head? Can I say this is like getting into trouble little affected by By being the campaign manager for RFK jr.. Because he also talks like that not that he can help it Maybe they're just in sync with each other That's an interesting idea because that's a pot. That's actually a possibility hmm So here now they're talking about we've talked about this on the show she just confirmed something she does bring in a new point that I never knew about

24:13 And I think it's kind of funny and this is the end but they're talking about media corruption in the spooks that are in the media that are That are either helping to do you CIA wait a minute. There's spooks in the media There is a piece of information that comes, you know is not gambling okay, which is all that I'm sorry Can we play? No, wait let me finish the setup. And so I just cause it doesn't lie. This is already two minutes and there's like a couple of minutes before it could have been used but I didn't want to do it so I wouldn't explain it. So they're you know, of course Tucker's like aghast at all this stuff even though he always wanted to be a spook says so in his bio. So he's listening gee how come I couldn't have done this job kind of thing?

25:03 She's talking about the people that got recruited and then do the bidding of the agency, and then the people that are obviously working for him now. And then she brings in some stuff that I didn't know. Which is the oldest exchange in the world. Well maybe it's second-oldest. I've seen it! It goes on every day there's no doubt that there are also Actual formal sources throughout the media and always have been you know, what does that mean a formal source in the media? I mean You know an asset somebody that would be paid by intelligence organizations to To work on their behalf play stories on their behalf. And okay They literally come on CNN and it says CIA agents. I mean how surprising is this II and

25:53 paid by intelligence. What she's saying, no I think that's different than a guy who is a reporter for the New York Times or a correspondent for NBC News who doesn't say CIA agent under it. So like Jake Tapper... You don't say something like Richard Engel it'll say something like that Or Jake Tapper just happens to be at the birthday party of the CIA director just coincidental Yeah, it would be something like that. So this is different than Brennan Fair, fair, fair. Organizations to work on their behalf play stories on their behalf and of course that happens you know all across the world But when it happens in the United States then its end of democracy Of course Well look I mean we have CISA operating basically a JIRA ticketing system for any tweet that The White House chooses

26:47 that they would like to see deleted even if it's... Wait a minute, JIRA? They're using JIRA? CISA. No, CISA is using JIRA as what she just said Oh no, yeah she says and I'm not sure what she's referring to Yes I am! JIRA isn't uh is a ticketing system an open source ticketing system that I believe was compromised in the SolarWinds hack I'm glad you have that information. That the White House, but that's what they're using well sure that and Gmail at the White House chooses to that they would like to see deleted even if it's in jest even if its satire they just put it in the ticketing section. Can you explain what CIS is? Yeah well what's interesting about CIS is that a you know it's a part of the Department of Homeland Security but

27:41 It's supposed to protect our nation's infrastructure from terror attacks. And at the beginning of the Biden administration, a decision was made that information is infrastructure Oh, it is now. Is it? It's just an Orwellian ting to it and as a result in order to secure it, you know, SISA was quietly empowered with the ability sometimes directly and sometimes through NGO cutouts to present

28:19 to all the social media companies and Wikipedia and Amazon, any content that was flagged as concerning. And they were, you know, Bolo alerts went out beyond the lookout. Bolo! And they held weekly meetings and said, you know here put an enormous amount of financial pressure on these companies saying that their legal protections from liability would be withdrawn if they didn't cooperate. Oh yeah well I totally believe that Yeah completely But i never knew about the information is infrastructure That's a good one

29:03 That's a good one. And I was looking at the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency, which was only founded in 2018... Yeah they're supposed to rig the elections—I mean protect the elections So the idea that —and i can see making it—that information is infrastructure, I mean it's a stretch It's a big stretch. But it could be, I can... You can see these bureaucrats just like that character that was out of the University of California, that law professor, I think his Wong or Lee or Wang or whatever his name is, who wrote the memo about torture. He wrote the torture memo during- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah! I know what you're talking about. During the Bush administration? When he was in the hospital and they made him sign off on something, that guy?

29:54 No, no. This guy's still around now. He was in the hospital and signed off. There is a lot of that going on but this is just a legitimate legal document that was used as rationale for torture and very famous during the Bush administration And that kind of thing, you can kind of... You know if you're smart enough, you can make information. You can convince yourself that information is infrastructure and then use it as leverage. Well I would say information in general in the legal sense creates a legal framework is infrastructure and that's just information along the same lines no?

NSA Anecdotes, Wandering Personnel and Efficiency

An anecdote from a dinner with former NSA agents stationed in Germany reveals a common joke within the intelligence community that 25% of personnel are "wandering" through hallways at any given time. The discussion touches on the lack of efficiency and the physical movement of staff within high-security facilities like the Pentagon.

30:39 I think it could be an argument. I can see it by the way It wasn't Jira was confluence, I apologize but Jira is just it's a ticketing system We had that Amivio we used you hey put it in the Jira Hey man this thing's broken. Oh you'll put it in Jira This is a ticketing system as interesting well along these lines last night Robbed the constitutional lawyer and his lovely wife Maggie Invited a couple of people to go out to dinner. It was I would say it was to celebrate no agenda 17th anniversary he picked up the There was a celebratory toast specifically for our 70th anniversary and invited the ER doctor in his wife Tina myself and two friends And I didn't know these two friends

31:28 And he had just hit them in the mouth, but it was in kind of an odd way where he was trying to play our last episode on the Bluetooth and his car. It kept getting stuck on sex event so they don't really know about our show much because we were talking about sex events And then so they said, well this is an interesting podcast you're trying to play. Sex and sexism! Like the only time we've ever done that okay? So they're my age um...and he is uh he's a corporate lawyer now and she is a middle school teacher I'm not going to use their names because we didn't discuss that I was gonna talk about them but hey don't have dinner with me! And pretty quickly Rob says oh no you'll love these guys it and they just live up in near Plano or whatever

32:15 Well, in the mid-80s... Where did you guys meet? In the mid 80's we met in Germany. Oh! Yeah we were both in the Air Force. So it turns out they were both NSA agents at the Russia desk, Russia division in Germany. So we had some things to talk about and they were... They didn't tell me about any of their ops but they did have some interesting observations and one that kind of relates to this is there's kind of a joke around the Intel community that 25% of the intelligence community is walking

32:56 And they're either walking in the Pentagon or they're walking in the hallways, or they are getting from one place to another. Literally 25% at all times is just walking around and you could cut so much waste by just having people sit at their desks. So as I'm talking to them... 25 percent of the entire intelligence community is walking Wandering would be a better term for it. Wandering is better, yes! Wandering... And so I'm just talking about NSA, yeah they do spying but there's also some level of psychological operation and so we get into some stuff because what i'm hearing around here

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

China Pivot, Taiwan Conflict and Military Strategy

The discussion explores a strategic shift in U.S. foreign policy from Russia toward China, framing Taiwan as the "new Ukraine." The hosts suggest that Donald Trump's aggressive stance on China and tariffs aligns with military-industrial interests, while noting recent reports of Chinese hackers targeting the phones of Trump and JD Vance.

china· taiwan· donald trump· kurt campbell· smith-mundt act· xi jinping

33:43 from a lot, and we've discussed this on the last show is the grid's gonna go down. There will be no election They're already gangs inside the country and they have kill orders for Border Patrol I'm not kidding. A lot of fear-mongering about China that Xi specifically wants to disrupt our elections And, you know... and so as I'm kind of thinking through that. I didn't discuss all of this with them but as i'm thinking through this there's a lot of China that is in all of these stories and let's just follow the money for a second remember the Smith-Mundt Act which specifically disallowed

34:24 propaganda on the American citizens was reformed during Obama and where was it reformed in the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act. So it's a military move to get that taken out and this is all you know NSA is also part of DIA It's not the CIA You know its the military guys they're part of... are they part Naval I think yeah cuz Admiral runs it right so they're part of the naval operation. That's not, they are totally independent This is...I'm telling you from what i heard last night they are not independent they are more related to the military than anything else Okay but their supposed to be independent Oh okay and the CIA shouldn't use Gmail

35:12 I mean, there's no rule about that. No. CIA is independent too but the but those guys were very irked when the FBI was using their systems just gather information so yeah they were stealing yeah they got to passwords yes use it all again we talked about this years ago they're all against the CIA and FBI they had in a very different camp So let's just review for a moment what we have going on, the new psychological operations which I believe is being passed down through ranks through much lower level guys. There are some Waldens... there's another guy.. There's a whole bunch of guys running around who are you know psyching out people like Laura and Nomi Wolf and all these other people and it's- Somebody's doing it! Well listen it's like

36:05 China. We have, there's middle-aged military age Chinese men here they're gonna attack us from when? Chinese are buying land next to bases! Chinese drones are flying over bases and now you think about Trump... Trump has already said that first of all China they need us as much as we need them. We're their customers let's just be honest about it, we may not need all of their manufacturing but Trump will take there you need most of it which but Trump will take the tariffs trump with a china virus You know Trump has a hard-on about China so he's kind of perfect to be the next president if you take into account that

36:51 That China, the pivot to China. You know what he's already said? We're gonna build big beautiful ships All of this stuff is happening. China, China, China Remember Newland was kicked out of state She didn't get the job she wanted replaced by a China guy Kurt Campbell He played a whole bunch of clips and now we have the perfect setup with the new Ukraine which is Taiwan It makes so much sense. Russia has old news, we're going to wrap that up you know whatever it can go on for a good time but there's no new money We need new money! We need to build stuff and then coincidentally this happens. Sources in the US say suspected Chinese hackers have targeted Donald Trump and his running mate for the White House JD Vance Phones associated with the campaign of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris may also have been targeted

37:44 An FBI statement didn't give any names but said it was investigating what it called unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by people associated with China. It was not immediately clear what data, if any had been accessed If any. Of course, it's like this a total non-story but let's not forget we've got Taiwan in the mix! Paying his respects to soldiers who lost their lives Taiwan's president reaffirmed his country sovereignty Today, Gunning To is more than just a symbol of military victory It also represents our determination to protect our country We will not yield an inch of ground in Taiwan

38:31 While Lai did not mention China explicitly, he was referring to the 1949 Battle of Guningtou against Beijing's People's Liberation Army. China claims it as its own territory There has been a fortnight of intense military activity in the Taiwan Strait which separates the two This includes live fire drills near the island and the transiting of Chinese aircraft carrier group through the strait On Wednesday, China's foreign ministry has said there is nothing wrong with conducting military activity in the area. Taiwan is Chinese territory. It's perfectly normal for Chinese aircraft carriers to sail on its own territory and territorial waters. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China

39:24 Beijing severed high-level communications with Taipei in 2016 and has since ramped up military and political pressure on the self ruled Ireland. So even though the military could completely run this with a Kamala Harris, uh, Walsh presidency it's much easier to go with the guy who already has a hard on for him like Trump has to be the guy it makes no sense otherwise Because they're psyching out everybody, particularly conservatives. Republicans. Yes

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Tim Walz China Ties, Minnesota Police Stations

Governor Tim Walz's extensive history with China is scrutinized, including his frequent visits and past teaching positions there. The segment also mentions the presence of unofficial Chinese police stations in U.S. cities, specifically highlighting a reported location in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

tim walz· china· minnesota· minneapolis· police stations

40:01 Yes, the Harris-Walls could do it but except if you're gonna go with your thesis that this whole thing is set up for Trump because it makes more sense. It also makes more sense that it would go for Trump because Walls is a China file. Yeah he's no good! He has been there a million times and got married there...he loves the place, he won't even say how often he goes... Oh excellent point! He's the wrong guy, he's the absolute wrong guy for this job Yeah, he's pro-China. He would turn the country...he would turn the US over to China if he had a chance So what we need is when you get everybody all jacked up and make sure that we get everybody out to vote for Trump particularly the Christians! Get everybody out there Everybody oh if your in pool and you're watching online I mean how many podcasts have we not seen in the past year from the culture war

40:54 Economy who are all talking about China and it's one out. It's continuous The drones over the bases all they're buying land next to bases. Oh, they've got police stations in which is true But but by the way one of the biggest ones is in Minnesota there you go There you go So yeah, Minneapolis has one. They've done nothing about it and I know Trump probably is on to this he's like oh This is good You know I can get the tariffs in and we can build our I mean We still need an economy by the way The police station story is sketchy

41:31 I mean, yes they're there and there's one in New York. There was one in New York. I think they rousted it. I think there was one out here too. There is still one in Minnesota and you know keep an eye on them on The Nationals and they're supposed to be...they threaten people and then they set up shop at universities Yeah, they're horrible these people. They're trying to... yeah I can see where you get all worked up. Yeah and so we need that we need this groundswell and we need Trump because besides a large amount of money that's going to be spent on this wonderful iron dome over all of America, a missile defense shield, they call it Star Wars!

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

Missile Defense Technology, Israel-Iran Conflict Results

The recent exchange of missiles between Iran and Israel is used to highlight advancements in missile defense technology. The hosts argue that the lack of significant damage from 180 Iranian missiles demonstrates the effectiveness of modern "Star Wars" style defense systems that Trump has proposed for the United States.

israel· iran· iron dome· missile defense· star wars

42:09 You know, he'll also get his tariffs and all that stuff will work out just fine. Oh yeah there's an angle on that missile defense system too you have to understand it I think is part of it this whole thing. Hit me! I'm gonna just back you up. Oh nice And its like well you know Reagan wanted to do this but the technology wasn't the same as it is today so today's technology because everything has changed since 1980 Today's technology makes it possible. And then we have the bull crap, and I have clips on this too, the bull crap that went on between Israel and Iran... Yeah no we'll get to that in a moment. But wait a minute, that incorporates this new technology because 180 missiles that were sent over from Iran didn't give you...

43:00 that hit nothing except some poor Palestinian who I think got hit by some debris. We saw the shell fall on his head. It was terrible video, very bad. They, the 180 missiles couldn't do any damage because of this new technology. Which is what we're going to employ to keep them doing it so they don't have to worry about anything. I mean, this is like all... The whole thing is beautifully structured. Here's only one thing that there's just and it's a little bit of a side track but it has to do with spooks

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

Legacy of Ashes, Mike Benz CIA Critique

The hosts discuss Mike Benz's recent viral critique of the book "Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner. While Benz dismisses the book as a "limited hangout" that portrays the CIA as incompetent rather than nefarious, the hosts maintain the book's historical value while considering if the new criticism is intended to resurface the text.

legacy of ashes· mike benz· cia· tim weiner· uncle don

43:36 You know, one of my big eye openers before we even started the show was the book Legacy of Ashes. And if you recall this, so Legacy of Ashes is a story about the CIA written by Tim Weiner or Wiener from former New York Times he went on to write an FBI book which sucked but the CIA book I remember calling Uncle Don and saying is this true? And he said yeah that's pretty much how I remember it So what I don't understand is Mike Benz, who I think we both appreciate for what he does. He goes on a 15 minute rant slamming this book! Listen to that clip of it.

44:22 Garbage. And everyone talks about it like it's this big Bible of CIA, but it's dog water! It's awful. The whole point of Legacy of Ash is yeah the CIA does all this terrible stuff...it's morally dubious It causes all this blowback and human rights disasters. But they're bumbling, stumbling fools. You don't need to worry about them. They don't do anything right. They're so silly, they're such silly gooses Wouldn't it be nice if the CI just stopped being such silly gooses? He goes on and on and on about this I don't understand what his point is Don't you think that this was to draw attention to the book To get it back in play Didn't seem like it to me

45:16 Well, I've listened to it. Now you've opened my mind up to possibilities here that's yeah okay because i haven't heard anybody say oh you have to read Legacy of Ashes except us! How many times has someone mentioned this book to you in the past 17 years? None. Exactly but this will get your attention Yeah well okay good point good point So, maybe it's time to reread the book. Maybe there is something in there that we should be noticing. Uncle Don is an animal. I'm not going to read that book again! I don't think I can have the same conversation with him anymore. Before we go into anything else let us just stick with... Now he still butt hurt about Hillary losing isn't he? He does not like Trump. He thinks Trump is horrible

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

Election Countdown, Kamala Harris Name Pronunciation

With ten days remaining until the election, candidates are focused on swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. A supercut highlights various media personalities and politicians mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris's first name, contrasting it with the campaign's official "Comma-la" instruction.

kamala harris· donald trump· michigan· pennsylvania· pronunciation

46:12 But he's been out of the game for quite a long time. And I give him all honor All our time. You can have your own opinion. Maybe Trump is bad, but he was the guy that said to me yeah North Korea whenever we need to sell some military stuff We just rattle North Korea around the media. That was his almost... And Trump did a good job of stopping that maybe that's the reason he doesn't like Trump Fouling up these great schemes. This is no good! Curry what did you do? Did you leak this information? Okay, so let's just stick with the election for a little bit. First of all we have to understand no matter what we say, no matter how we look at it this race is tight John! It's tight I mean come on! The Vice President and former president bashing each other while rallying their supporters as both sides count down to November 5th We've got just 10 days left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime

47:15 Kamala Harris and Donald Trump crisscrossing the swing states. Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan this afternoon pushing what she calls a fresh start and her economic plan to help middle America. Trump also in Michigan and then at State College of Pennsylvania vowing to close the border and bring down the cost of living. We have nine days to go to total victory and then we're going to have a different kind of a victory. We're going to turn our nation around Harris introduced by former first lady Michelle Obama the campaign focusing on reproductive rights. She will fight to restore our reproductive freedoms and defend our health Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers on the stump for Trump and the economy We lost in the last four years 20,000 manufacturing jobs under Democrat policies coming out of Washington DC

48:06 Both candidates trying to appeal to the undecided electorate. Votes that could push them over the finish line, to win. This is going to be the greatest victory in the history of our country it's gonna be an exciting night on November 5th And make no mistake we will win! Both feeling very confident. For Harris and Trump, the presidential election all comes down to the seven battleground states and the most crucial is Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes A clip that I found that we've kind of been looking for is... The pronunciation of Vice President Harris' first name which if you do it wrong your racist What is now the official pronunciation? Is it Kamala

48:57 No, it's Kamala. Kamala and by the way thank you to all of the Chicanos which turns out is not a slur Thank You I never thought it was that said you were laughing at it because it was a dated reference Why? I didn't know your laughing cuz he thought I would I'd said a slur I didn't know either but a lot of people email and say no no that's good And they all said hey, I'm glad you guys finally caught on about the Kamala Because I came a lot. Yeah, they should have emailed this a long time ago We didn't know about this yet from your gardener. Well now that you mention it yes there with that What's up? Our audience is remiss yeah our producers producers You got to get on the stick so this is a 45 second supercut of every single leftist media personality and I think even if you Democrat politicians

49:53 Mispronouncing her name. Camilla Harris People like uh, Camilla Harris But as Camilla said... Camilla Harris was a very good prosecutor. Kamala Harris. And I know her, but Kamala was first Biden and Kamala. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris.

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

Washington Post Non-Endorsement, Jeff Bezos Business Interests

The Washington Post announced it would not endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in decades, leading to the resignation of editor-at-large Robert Kagan and thousands of subscription cancellations. The decision is analyzed alongside a similar move by the LA Times, with speculation that owners Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong are protecting federal business interests.

washington post· jeff bezos· robert kagan· la times· endorsements

53:28 I have the two clips. Okay, good good good. WAPO 1 The motto of the Washington Post is democracy dies in darkness. I'd like to marbles in this guy's mouth Yet in these closing days of a presidential campaign that polls say is close the post has announced It would not endorse any candidate in the race for the White House. Oh no! That's for the first time in decades. And PR media correspondent David Fokkenflik broke this story and joins us now, David thank you for being with us. Pleasure. The Post is known for its political coverage it's the paper that broke the Watergate story and many more without fear or favor. We've seen movies why is it stepping away from making an endorsement in this presidential race?

54:10 So let's go first to the stated reason posted yesterday just before noon from the publisher and chief executive Will Lewis. He says that The Post wants to return to its roots independent of partisan interests, it sort of has for decades styled itself as an independent newspaper under owner Jeff Bezos he said they are going to for the future not endorse in presidential races and seek to attain that Now, this was a paper that has been editorially largely supportive not uniformly but largely supportive of the Biden-Harris administration. There had been a draft of an endorsement in the works endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency and you know this is a newspaper that has been in the vanguard of reporting on former president Donald Trump's alleged wrongdoing and potential illegalities in office and it denounced him editorially for that on its editorial pages all throughout

55:01 That proposed endorsement, which had been embraced by the editorial page editor doesn't come as a surprise. But right now if you're looking at it on its own terms the explanation you look at a time when The media is under attack trust is that record lows particularly among conservatives especially among Trump supporters this is on its surface an effort by the owner Jeff Bezos to try to remediate and address that What's the reaction been like at The Post? Well, because of The Post record in its reporting and because of its strong opinions talking about Trump being unfit for office and it separately run editorial side particularly as a result of the January 2021 efforts to deny President Biden certification of his win. There has been fewer

55:40 There's been tumult inside the post and to some degree outside of it as well. The resignation of Robert Kagan, a longtime columnist editor at large... He's been warning for years if Trump is an authoritarian in the making. Hey, Robert Kagan is no liberal either! Before we go to the next segment I have some questions for you So one, Kagan who was Victoria Nuland's husband Yeah, a neocon. A warmongering neocon but there's no liberal quote-unquote no liberal all the neocons came from the liberal side of things so let's get that straight What is the function of the editor at large? Is it just an editor who's a big guy or is there some function that specific and this not the editor the editor at large is he at the top of the food chain

56:28 No. The editor-at-large is largely a... I thought he was the editorial page editor, but whatever. Editor at large is his title. Okay so the editor at large is mostly a ceremonial title It's given to somebody who has been around for a while and they don't want to make him this or that. I had the title at InfoWorld for awhile, while I was a columnist because... Because I couldn't be a contributing editor anymore cause I wasn't writing anything other than this column And here is why I wanted to be the consulting editor. Do you walk around and wrap your pencil on people's desk?

57:08 You're not doing it right or I mean what the editor-at-large? Yeah, we just have phone calls or meetings. No you don't do any of that no It's an honorary is basically I would Meredith. It's close to something like that as a bullcrap title is the same as consulting editor which I was It's a it's great. Sounds good. Yes, in other words, I'll give you supposedly they call you once or say hey You're the consulting editor can I consult with you? They never do that there I've never been consulted to this day Do you get paid for this title like you you're like a consulting podcaster Nobody's ever called you they'd like think invented it nobody ever says and they say Adam Could you help us we're doing your podcast can give us a tip

57:52 No, they don't even bother. Lots of people ask me that. So the editor at large is just a guy that supposedly... he can probably... no it doesn't mean anything! But it sounds cool at cocktail parties in DC Yeah, it sounds great. I'm better at large or washing pots... whatever. Better at large? I like the idea of being a fat guy though that would make it better Well he is a fat guy isn't he yeah he's a fat guy so okay now let's just take this into the overall perspective That, so even though he's an... Are they kicking out all the old neocons? Newland no. We're moving to China you don't know anything about China you're out and by the way that editor-at-large husband of yours is no good either but he wants endorsed Kamala we can have that it's Trump for China

58:41 I wonder if he's... It's fitting into the pieces of the puzzle that may all be fitting together. Part two may explain a little more. Robert Kagan is no liberal either He is absolutely not, not a liberal by any stretch or means Ten opinion writers at The Post denounced The Post decision in a posting they did on its own website You saw Woodward and Bernstein come out you saw Marty Baron, the lionized former executive editor of The Post call it cowardice and spineless, and you saw over 1600 cancellations of digital subscriptions there three hours after the story broke. And that's happening against a backdrop in which Trump has been attempting to directly and expressly intimidate the press saying that if he wins office once more that he will wreak vengeance against it. If you think about Jeff Bezos yes- Hold on a second!

59:29 This is now they just went to nonsense Well, this is the irony of the whole thing to me Which is that it's the left and these you know MSNBC's and all the rest that make all this stuff up about Trump because he says something casually or Just jokingly or he doesn't say it at all. And they make it up and they've literally scared their own pants off Expressly intimidate the press saying that if he wins office once more, that he will wreak vengeance against it. And you think about Jeff Bezos Yes He's the owner of The Post but of course the founder of Amazon. He has a tonne of business interests worth billions involving the federal government Amazon shipping its cloud and China Computing contracts and his space company Blue Origin has a multi-billion dollar deal with federal government to take people into the heavens

1:00:18 This follows a similar decision by the publisher of the Los Angeles Times. Is it a similar story and reasoning by the owner there? Yeah, and interestingly there is no formal publisher there It's all being decided by owner Patrick Soon-Shiong There had also been an editorial in support of Kamala Harris being drafted And he decided to kill it That led to the resignation of the editorial center and two other editorial writers Patrick Soon-Shiong, again a civic leader stepped forward to buy the Times to try and sustain it. At the same time he's a billionaire physician inventor with major interest before federal regulators should Trump wins again? He is threatening this vengeance that I mentioned so here's the question

1:00:57 Are these figures trying to, at a time of low trust in the media, redefine their papers as more independent and away from partisan interests just days before an election that their own editorial pages say may define the future of the American democratic experiment for decades to come? Or is this a moment where people are buckling in the face of potential pressure because, of course, this race is so close they don't know who's going to win. Sun Xing of The LA Times also Chinese-American Maybe. But what I see, what I get a kick out of these guys... 10 guys, we quit! And they're quitting to do what? Rage-quitting They're rage quitting and there's no business in the dying industry The newspaper industry is going down the tubes and they're gonna quit to go do what just make themselves homeless This is beyond me

1:01:51 It's a very interesting twist. It's clear that they can't go against Trump! It's not that they don't want people to go for Kamala, it's they can't go against Trump whether its for Bezos' business interests... sketchy maybe I don't know but its all part of the he has to win Particularly when the race is this close. My race is so close, it's just... You can almost get that voice, that guy's voice, that'd be good. Add that to your arsenal with the Dutch guy. My arsenal of almosts! I'm almost there. Yeah well you have an arsenal of almosts

CHAPTER 17 / 42 Discussion

Janet Yellen IMF Keynote, Russian Asset Interest

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen addressed the IMF and World Bank regarding a $50 billion loan to Ukraine. Yellen clarified that the loan would be repaid using interest earned on immobilized Russian sovereign assets held in Euroclear, rather than U.S. taxpayer funds, a move that has drawn skepticism regarding the reported 20% return on those assets.

janet yellen· imf· world bank· ukraine· russian assets

1:02:32 I want to wrap up the Russia thing, then I want to come back to the media who are you know along this... Well before we do that. We're still in the campaign and I wanted to finish get my campaign clips in. Well I was doing Russia! I wanted to finish up Russia Yeah, you moved off the campaign No no no You stole me! You stole my vibe going from Russia into WaPo It's okay but just have one clip Oh, well why don't you play a clip? I just wanted to get these two campaign raps. And the only reason I wanted to play them is because they're from the nation's treasure Yes no...you're going to have that! I insist you play them. Because this is something that was flying under the radar and this is Grandma Yellen who I think is younger than I am Yellen Who did the keynote for the IMF World Bank Jamboree

1:03:25 Did you see any of this? I have no idea what you're talking about. Ah, so the IMF and the World Bank have a big meeting couple days back it's a whole week of meetings i just call it their jamboree and she opened it up and she talked about Ukraine sorry Ukraine And there was something very interesting, some stuff we knew about the loan to Ukraine where that's coming from. The stolen Russian money but wait until you hear how she wraps this up! You mentioned the 50 billion dollar loan that the G7 leaders agreed to provide to Ukraine and asked me about the status of it

1:04:08 We're very close to finalizing America's portion of this $50 billion loan package. And what I want to emphasize is that the source of financing for these loans, this is not the American taxpayer. What's happening here is that Russia is paying for this support – the 50 billion of support that we intend to go to Ukraine by the end of this year. It is the income on the assets that have been immobilized, Russian sovereign assets that have been immobilized in Euroclear that are at the source of repayment

1:04:58 And we've agreed with Ukraine that even if there is a final settlement and truce is reached, that it will be Russian funds that will go to repay these loans. I'm sure Russia's gonna love that! So it's Russia's money and they're going to repay it with Russia's money? You know, the funny thing is... A tranche of 300 billion? Yes, yes. And somehow the interest is 50 billion? You know I saw this exact same thing like you're not investing this in money markets what did you do with that did you yeah This isn't a return that's way over 10 percent Did you buy Nvidia stock or what It was close to 20% return What exactly they put the Russian money in it's not the S&P I mean

1:06:01 up 20%? No. Well, yeah maybe over a period of 10 years or more but this is not right no numbers don't make sense But we're the ones cutting the check that's the big joke of it all oh it's secured don't worry so it's this extra money that's floating around but you know though maybe that's just how banking actually works behind-the-scenes You stupid people if you can get your money market and somehow we've we get twenty percent return Who knows all right? Let's go to your rap hold on a second. Oh wait, I'm just gonna of America This is NPR Or I wanted to do before since you talked about Ukraine. I wanted the Ukraine update will before we do that Okay, Ukraine. What's PBS so it fits with the jingle this is different is the other

CHAPTER 18 / 42 Discussion

Ukraine War Update, Kiev vs. Keev Pronunciation

A report on a Russian drone strike in Kiev leads to a discussion on the linguistic shift in the media from the Russian-style "Kiev" to the Ukrainian "Keev." The hosts express frustration with the politicization of city names and the pressure to adopt specific pronunciations.

kiev· keev· ukraine· russia· drone strike

1:06:48 The nation's national treasure. In Ukraine, Russian drones struck Kiev in an hours-long nighttime barrage. Ukrainian officials said one went into an apartment building killing a 15 year old girl and injuring five others And in central Ukraine, a missile struck a residential area in Dnieper Regional officials said 14 year old and four others were killed at least 21 others injured We should have never ever let that happen We should have never... Oh, that's for sure. No no but let me tell you what I mean we should have never let them force people to change from Kiev to Keev. Oh Keev! That's horse crap i'm just going to go back to saying Kiev that is so remember if you said Keev then you were a Russian agent that was pretty much what they say oh no it's Keev if you say Keev you're carrying water for Putin

1:08:39 On the campaign trail, both presidential candidates are stumping for undecided voters in swing states today. Vice President Harris rallied in Michigan with former first lady Michelle Obama. Harris touched on familiar themes including the rising cost of health care I believe healthcare should be a right and not just a privilege to those who have the money to afford it. On the other hand we've got Donald Trump Who intends to end the Affordable Care Act. Oh please, they're so wildly exaggerating everything particularly

1:09:22 Roe v. Wade, which was not a law it was the Supreme Court decision and It's gone back to the states but somehow Trump is going to make it law that you know You know what? What's funny Is that these this state like States like California where it's well, you know abortion is legal and they can do it Do you know under normal circumstance but everyone's voting for For Kamala here, why would you do that? It's already a done deal. What are you bitching about? Why are you complaining about it? About any of it in California or Colorado for that matter where you can go nine months and have an abortionist whose baby head is popping out I mean why is KTLA running reports that its a close election what do they care they're not getting extra ad money

1:10:08 This is just claimant. They're just following the leader, that's what you do. There are some radio guys they don't know what else going on come on. Radio guys? KTLA is a television station. Oh okay well they say the radio guys have moved to TV so The thing about this last clip was that they were talking about it's rising costs in health care. I'm sorry, everything is getting bad and then she says that... Hold on! Hold on! I just want to-I am still stuck It just kind of hit me where the baby's head pops out and then you kill it Man, that was a gruesome thing you just said Yeah well, happens Okay, I'm sorry Back to you Bob In Colorado So

1:10:53 the rising cost of health care and then And Trump wants to kill the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act is supposed to make it affordable, why is it rising? It's in play right now! It's not gone, its' in play we are under its influence but how come things are rising did you answer that question Kamala? Trump campaigned in two states today starting in a Detroit suburb where he slammed early voting even though was a rally to mark the start of statewide early voting in Michigan Tonight, Trump campaigned on the Penn State campus in State College Pennsylvania.

1:11:38 in a roaring economy and at time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Trump's using the college setting to make a direct appeal to first-time voters, and early in person voting did kick off across Michigan today as NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports more than 40 million voters around the country have cast their ballots so far. Eligible Michiganders throughout this swing state can now catch up with early voters in Detroit area and East Lansing where in person voting at the polls started days ago ahead of the rest of the state If you're eligible to cast a ballot in Michigan but haven't registered yet, you still have time to sign up at your local clerk's office through Election Day. The last day of voting outside of this swing state though voter registration for this fall's election is closing today in Massachusetts and New York

CHAPTER 20 / 42 Discussion

Trump Health Policy, Make America Healthy Again

Donald Trump's campaign has adopted the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) slogan, promising to remove toxic chemicals from the food supply. A verbal slip in a speech is noted where Trump appeared to say the U.S. "will spend" more on healthcare than any other nation, rather than "we've spent," causing a brief moment of confusion.

donald trump· rfk jr· healthcare· toxic chemicals· teleprompter

1:12:19 Eligible voters there have hours left to register in person or online. Around the country, election officials have raised concerns about potential mail delays If you plan to vote by mail the Postal Service is urging you to check your state's deadline and return your ballot at least one week before that date. Mail-in ballots... Yeah it's a plague Well because you brought up affordable care act formerly known as Obamacare President Trump said something about making America healthy again that I mean, he was reading off the prompter So I'm not quite sure if if this was a mistake or listen to this Tell me if you hear the same thing. I hear as we secure our borders and rebuild our economy We are also going to make America healthy again Now you think this is teleprompters seems like it's teleprompter right? This is a teleprompter bit Yeah

1:13:20 The Kamala health care plan will make our kids sicker and their diets more toxic. Under the Trump administration, we will get the toxic chemicals out of our food supply and we will make our children healthier We will spend more money on healthcare than any other nation but think of that What? We're already spending more money on health care than any other nation. So is he gonna spend more on healthcare than any other nation? This is what I don't understand. Spend more money on healthcare than any other nation but think of that you know we do, I don't know if you know... Oh I think I think he realizes that he's screwed up here Yeah I think you're right. Because oh think of that now! We've spent more money on healthcare He left out weave

Madison Square Garden Rally, Mayor Eric Adams Response

New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended Donald Trump's right to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, rejecting comparisons to Hitler and fascism. Adams called for a "dialing down of the temperature" in political discourse, despite criticism from Governor Kathy Hochul and other Democratic leaders.

eric adams· madison square garden· donald trump· kathy hochul· fascism

1:14:12 He weaved in the wrong direction. He didn't let the loom come back on the weave, yes. So he said instead of saying WE'VE spent more money, he said we're going to spend more! When I heard that, I was like, nah that doesn't sound right. No it's a total screw up you're right good catch Now tonight is the big Madison Square Garden Seek Heil! Hang up the swastikas! I didn't clip but i heard Governor Hochul this morning on MSNBC she saying oh no I think Trump is coming to New York to wave the white flag of surrender okay what yeah yeah they would have been in good clip anyway

1:14:56 Mayor Adams was questioned about Trump being a fascist and Hitler and horrible person. I recall that Trump kind of, kind of was nice to Adam's. He is very nice to him at the El Smith dinner. He complimented him. Yes he told me that this will be fine you'll get out of this Quagmire is stuck in. As a journalist, can you believe that you're sent down to the press conference for the mayor? Now ask him do you think Trump is a fascist. Here's the question it's like stuttering John level questions. That's a good analogy, stuttering John. That's what Stern used back when Stern was stern he would give stuttering John crazy questions like that hey do you think Trump's a fascist

1:15:58 and everyone would be laughing about it. And now, it's just a serious question. I ask you about any communications you've been having with the Trump campaign about this rally or otherwise? If you believe as others have said that the former president is fascist... You know, I have had those terms hurled at me by some political leaders in the city using terms like Hitler and fascists My answer to them is no I know what Hitler has done and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I've called over and over again that the level of conversation—I think we could all dial down the temperature

1:16:47 And I've heard people say that the former president should not be able to have a rally in Madison Square Garden. I strongly disagree, this is America, this is New York and I think it's important that we allow individuals who exercise their right to get their message clear to New Yorkers. And our job as a city and as the police department is to make sure they can do that in a peaceful way I think that we must be extremely cautious of the heat return up today pre-election is going to have to be the heat, and we're going to have to govern it. And I think we need to show a level of respectable communication

1:17:36 Uncle Tom is what he is there. Yeah, he's siding with Trump. Uncle Tom! I can see him being called that now. Oh yeah? So, I'm pretty convinced just based upon my own theory and for a while we've been talking about the they, the system how everybody benefits if Trump wins. Especially the media everybody benefits if he wins and probably the country which would be nice but now for if he doesn't It'll be an interesting four more years for us if he does it'll be an interesting four more years for us Oh, it's gonna. Be interesting four years to whatever but no doubt about it But for Joe Scarborough who had a sit-down with Jimmy Kimmel I would like oh that was a pathetic. It was like two old ladies Maybe they should have both been knitting I would like our No Agenda producers to have compassion for these men because they are

1:18:36 They are very emotional about the even the idea of Trump winning I think that there are certain news networks if you want to call them that who are lying to people. I think that there's a certain generation Of which we are apart who are used to watching television and seeing the white man in a suit Telling us what's going on in the world and believing that what he's saying is true. I think that is ingrained in us as Americans we grew up with Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings And we did not question That what they were telling us was factual and a lot of people now are looking at Sean Hannity and whomever else and they're not questioning whether or not What they're saying is factual and what their hearing is

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

Jimmy Kimmel and Joe Scarborough, Trump Victory Anxiety

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, expressing deep emotional anxiety over the possibility of a Donald Trump victory. The hosts deconstruct Scarborough's comments about the "responsibility" of his platform and his admission that he is not mentally prepared for a Trump win.

1:17:36 Uncle Tom is what he is there. Yeah, he's siding with Trump. Uncle Tom! I can see him being called that now. Oh yeah? So, I'm pretty convinced just based upon my own theory and for a while we've been talking about the they, the system how everybody benefits if Trump wins. Especially the media everybody benefits if he wins and probably the country which would be nice but now for if he doesn't It'll be an interesting four more years for us if he does it'll be an interesting four more years for us Oh, it's gonna.

It was like two old ladies Maybe they should have both been knitting I would like our No Agenda producers to have compassion for these men because they are

1:18:36 They are very emotional about the even the idea of Trump winning I think that there are certain news networks if you want to call them that who are lying to people.

1:19:21 untrue. This is so telling, first of all when did Brokaw and Jennings and Rather go off the air? 20 years ago? It was a long time ago So there you know I don't know who you're talking to but most people don't even know these names I'm surprised they didn't bring up Walter Cronkite and Huntley Brinkley. There's my favorite dude, Huntley and Brinkley!

1:19:57 When Walter Cronkite and Huntley and Brinkley were on the air, this is not the way it was going. Edward R Murrow did things right damnit! And I can understand why they think... Edward R Murrow? Come on check the calendar What they think because their being told there's a caravan of migrants coming and then nobody is following up at the end saying oh there was no caravan of migrants um coming WHAT?! There was a caravan of migrants. A crap load of caravans of migrants, there's video! There are millions and millions of them coming and Aurora Colorado has not been taken over by Venezuelan street gangs And by the way this story about cats and dogs being devoured by Haitian immigrants in Springfield

1:20:47 They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating... they're eating the pets! It is preposterous I will tell you i've been dreaming for last three nights I'd been just going through all this craziness over and over again it's really starting to take a toll like I just can't get out of my head Okay so this where he gets emotional because He's-I think he sees the writing on the wall And you can hear it in his voice. He's very, very concerned about the possibility of a Trump victory I want to mention something we have to remember that on one of his monologues during the Trump presidency he literally cried on stage. He cried yeah he cried About something that he thinks Trump did or didn't do whatever it was It was ludicrous and he hates Trump

1:21:44 And it's just and it shows up in his comedy, and it shows if you want to call it that Here we go. Here's here's the end again have compassion for this man I ask you just forgive him I am going to have compassion. I'm not spiking the ball of Trump wins. I'm just gonna have compassion Do you look forward to today? Oh when you don't have two because one of the things that is so exhausting to me and oh Why there have been several times I don't think I can do this anymore. Mm-hmm Don't want to talk about I don't care who it is the same person every day and yet Your whole career is based on talking about Trump every single day Scarborough What are you talking about? Every day and yet everyday

1:22:35 More outrageous things said so if you don't talk about it. It's like you're giving permission structure So do you look forward to the day when oh boy? Do I not only I look forward today? I have to I was telling my wife. I don't feel like I'm mentally prepared for the possibility of a loss, I'm not ready for I like I have to I think he needs another vacation. talking about what happened for all 300,000 people that listen to Morning Joe or what didn't happen and What message do you want to send two people who watch the show? It's

1:23:28 It's, you know most of my shows aren't important. That one seems a little bit more important than others because I do have a lot of people kind of asking me what I think and going along with what I think and it's a big responsibility so...I don't even remember what I said the last time he won. I just remember staying up almost all night trying to process it and my wife being very, very upset and feeling very alone. Like I got to figure out what i'm going to say nobody can figure this out for me none of my writers can figure out my take on this. I have to tell them what it is." I mean I feel his pain. Oh my god! What a jerk! I feel his pain...I mean what will we say the next day if Harris wins? We'll be like

1:24:16 Alright, alright. What's going on now? We'll just keep on going." I don't think that anyone was so spun up over all this it is just... Goodness gracious! Everybody chill out It's really interesting how spun-up everybody is over this Well, not everybody. Well not everybody there's a lot of no agenda people are totally not spun up over it No, why should you be? Exactly! It's not the end of this and yeah Trump will be great You can't vote your way out of the problems we have There is just no way The state is not going to help much No It's when Elon comes in Oh yeah that's right he'll fix it That's right Elon He'll fix it Yeah he's gonna fix it

CHAPTER 23 / 42 Discussion

Sports Policy, Pitt vs. Syracuse Pick-Six Record

The hosts discuss a recent college football game where Pitt defeated Syracuse, setting a record with three "pick-six" interceptions in the first half. They jokingly reiterate their "no karma for sports teams" policy, suggesting that mentioning teams on the show provides an unfair advantage.

1:25:04 Hey with that I want to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put The C in counseling editor of PC Magazine. Consulting! What did i say? You said counseling.

You see the reason why? Because we forget to bet on it, that's why! Yes no the reason is because it gives us an unfair advantage and we're not going to do it again Well remember it was a Commodore, it was a dotor who came in with a Commodore ship for his son

1:27:24 And then we were, we slipped up. We did! We slipped. I'm sorry and you see what happens? Boom they win and not just by a little bit it was embarrassing what happened It was embarrassing...I think it was a shutout or something that's outrageous Interception after interception Yeah, they set the record for three intercept. It was not just interceptions it was three pick sixes which is an intersection where you run it into the end zone I'm just explaining to you and everyone else knows Thank You because there's three pick sixes in the first half what does that even mean pick sixes? I Just explained it now you make an interception again score a touchdown with the interception Oh that's called a pick-six

No Agenda Community, 17 Years of Value for Value

Adam and John reflect on 17 years of the "Value for Value" model, thanking the developers, artists, and trolls who sustain the show's infrastructure. They highlight the importance of consistent scheduling and newsletters, while acknowledging the work of artists like Tante Neel and the technical contributions of Sir Paul Couture.

Yeah. At least 15... well, 15 years probably. It predates the Art Generator there was a previous Art Generator Yes and then the Art Generator came along and then it got switched to headless Drupal

CHAPTER 25 / 42 Discussion

Commodore Promotion, Value for Value Philosophy

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" philosophy, distinguishing it from "busking" or tipping. They announce the final week of the "Commodore" promotion, where donors of $333.33 receive a special title and certificate, and discuss the prestige of being an Executive Producer on the show.

commodore· value for value· busking· executive producer· imdb

1:37:54 And it's always the same thing. There is always some guy that says, well value for value! I mean if i go to a coffee shop and ask for a coffee, get a coffee and they say five bucks? I got value for value! No that's not how it works Oh you're saying its tips no oh it's busking That's always my favorite BUSKY We are busking NO we learned early on that we give you the show in all its glory, full on all premium content all the way. Nothing else but the good stuff nothing hidden nothing held back and then you just decide what it's worth to you and from time to time or as often as you want you send us something that represents that is another Topo Chico? And it only works for ethereal products

1:38:45 It doesn't work for cups of coffee. Ethereal products like public broadcasting, for example they relied on it. Church sermonizing churches services is like some people that pass the thing around and you've what does this worth to you? And you put your money in an envelope usually so you don't embarrass yourself even though I think the envelopes are... You shouldn't make it. Envelopes show that's 100 bucks these days. They just pop a QR code Send us a vehicle No, so instead we just ask you to send back whatever value you get from the show and this of course being a celebratory Episode we also as is the final The final opportunity for the Commodore Promotion which is just a beautiful but you will like this Commodore thing

1:39:39 Yeah, anyone who mails in for it and we also had a note today from an Australian saying it turns out that $333 is the Commodore donation in Australia. It turns out to be 504 which I thought was cute as somebody said wait can they get at Commodore ship yes you could end we're gonna get extended a week for the Australians who'd you know this or there's one person in particular so the Australians can send 500 Australian dollar reduce No, 333 Australian... no. Yes! 500 dollar reduces $333 isn't that interesting? And because we appreciate them because they still use something called the dollar we're honoring that which you always do yeah with and then did the New Zealand's have the dollar too or didn't we don't hear from there today the New Zealanders hate us so they've dropped off the map. They got Yasinda woman who just ruined it for us

CHAPTER 29 / 42 Discussion

Puberty Blockers Study, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy Controversy

The New York Times reported that a long-running U.S. study on puberty blockers went unpublished for years because the lead researcher, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, feared the results—which showed no mental health improvement—would be "weaponized" by critics. The segment discusses the legal implications for doctors and parents as detransition lawsuits increase.

puberty blockers· johanna olson-kennedy· gender distress· new york times· detransition

2:25:41 We hit people in the mouth. Yowza! Yowza, yowza, yowza... Oh, well since we just had that note from Annie, Megan Kelly was on Bill Maher I saw that. And she took him to the cleaners Wow, you can say that especially regarding the trans-Maoism And I thought it was clip worthy and would like to share

2:26:43 any inquisition into what's happening. I don't either, pay attention because i'm about to give you a truth bomb kids who are suffering from bullying or who have been sexually assaulted or who are going through normal puberty and feel uncomfortable in their bodies will say to their parents i'm not sure maybe i'm gender confused they will send them into a psychiatrist or psychologist we're told by our organizations the american psychiatry association all the others that run their licensing you must affirm is the only standard. And so, the child gets told you're right you are secretly a boy or vice versa and the child gets put on puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones which sterilize a child and deprive the child of any chance of sexual pleasure for the rest of his or her life we're talking about 9 10 11 year olds who cannot give informed consent then they have body parts chopped off by a medical establishment and my parents who mean well but believe in these doctors and they shouldn't

2:27:39 And when they inevitably get past the awkwardness of puberty or what have you and they want to turn around and de-transition, those who love bomb them on Reddit saying come on in the water's fine abandon them. They are depressed. They have changed their bodies forever in a way that is irreversible. We are all sitting back saying it's a remote issue as Kamala Harris said. It's not remote. It's the issue of our time both with respect to children and women's rights And with this comes a shocking, shocking story that the New York Times published earlier this week. Headline US study on puberty blockers goes unpublished because of politics doctor says The leader of the long-running studies since 2015 said that the drugs did not improve mental health in children with gender distress and that the finding might be weaponized by opponents of the care

2:28:36 So she held back the results of this study for almost a decade. Because, you know... We're in a charged American political environment Dr Olson Kennedy! I'm just waiting for it. I don't have a clip but a couple days ago on KTVU Channel 2, 10 o'clock news there was a lawsuit going on kind of almost class action is about five people trying to detransition they're suing the doctors or suing everybody but their parents will get sued too when the legal establishment stuff like this

CHAPTER 30 / 42 Discussion

BART Vaccine Mandate Lawsuit, Religious Exemption Victory

A federal jury in San Francisco awarded six former BART workers over $1 million each after they were fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds. The Pacific Justice Institute represented the workers, successfully arguing that BART failed to provide reasonable accommodations as required by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

bart· san francisco· vaccine mandate· religious exemption· pacific justice institute

2:29:16 Get out. Lawsuits are going to be flying and these people that think they're ahead of the game on this are fooling themselves This is going to be one of the greatest bonanzas, it's gonna make asbestos look like a picnic They're gonna be suing left and right And I think their parents are gonna get caught up in this A lot of them are gonna get sued by older kids once they mature and get a clue This is a disaster waiting to happen almost as big as the disaster that's taking place in your backyard. A federal jury in San Francisco has awarded six former BART workers more than a million dollars each over BART's handling of its employee COVID-19 vaccine mandate

2:29:59 The six who objected to the mandate on religious grounds and were fired sued BART in 2022 for employment discrimination. This week jurors agreed their religious objections were legit, and BART had failed to prove that accommodating the workers' religious beliefs would cause them undue hardship. They can't just flippantly disregard people of faith I treat them like second class citizens. We hope that Bart has received that message loud and clear. Fred Dacus is with the Pacific Justice Institute, which represented the six workers. He says the verdict puts employers on notice there are heavy prices they're going to have to pay for their intolerance bigotry and apparent lack of

2:30:43 sensitivity for people of faith wanting to be reasonably accommodated. The BART lawsuit is one of thousands related to COVID vaccine mandates working their way through the legal system, legal experts say many never make it to a jury trial because litigants either can't prove they have sincere religious objections or because the company has made accommodations in the context of COVID-19 what a lot of employers have done is offer testing testing and masking as an alternative to vaccination. UC Law San Francisco professor Dorit Rice says the law allowing religious objections to workplace rules has been on the books since 1964 I think that take home for employers is, take the law seriously have a processing place to assess religious exemption and make good face efforts where you can accommodate all of which is what the law says Wow

2:31:37 That is the tip of the iceberg for this and I believe during kovat We even had templates and forms in the show notes for religious exemption did So if you make a million bucks Remember, you know agenda show Lawyers will probably take half of it. I'm sure well, they can only take a third Oh that's it gonna take a third Yeah, they take a third. This case which is good this is just the tip of the iceberg I think it...I think they got seven million dollars for about a million per person almost. Wow! A little less but but was a lot more and its course comes out that you know the BART general fund mean yet to pay you know the guys who promoted the policy should be all fired at it did this is the real issue with me even they come up with these policies across them the system

CHAPTER 31 / 42 Discussion

Mike Jeffries Indictment, Diddy and Jamie Foxx Rumors

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries faces sex trafficking charges, with "boots on the ground" reports detailing bizarre requirements for his private jet crew. The discussion also touches on "street rumors" alleging Sean "Diddy" Combs was involved in Jamie Foxx's 2023 medical emergency, claiming Foxx has since cooperated with the FBI.

mike jeffries· abercrombie & fitch· sean diddy combs· jamie foxx· fbi

2:32:32 huge amounts of money and nobody, oh well whatever it's just not my money. I think this is a kind of a drawback but okay. In the season of reveal category you know that i'm still following the Diddy Steen stuff because we now have... what? Which is going nowhere as far as I can tell. Well, yeah it's going nowhere because this is the true evil in the world is what these people are all wrapped up in including the Abercrombie & Fitch CEO and we have boots on the ground Sir Viper 515 a couple of friends of mine used to occasionally fly for Mike Jeffries this is he now fallen and shameful

2:33:22 The sex pervert, Mike Jeffries. So he used to fly the private jet They would have to spray a particular cologne in the cabin Brushed the carpet and headliner in a certain way The quote flight attendants had to wear skinny jeans and flip-flops One pilot had to meet him at the bottom of the stairs and follow him up while the other had to be walking in The cabin and meet him at a specific location And say hi to him one of my friends A six-foot six lanky former marine in his 60s at the time was requested by name to fly with him These people are sick this remind you, and they're demonic

2:34:08 This reminds me of this story we got, and this was at least a decade ago on the show about how Al Sharpton's producer had to produce it. It was a cup of tea or something and put it on his desk in a certain specific spot and turn it a certain way before he started his show when he had the desk that used to sit behind This kind of thing. And this is the diva kind of things you've heard this about a lot of Hollywood people when they go to a hotel, when they check in they have to have a certain kind of flower and a certain kind of this and that. This has to be over here and this has to be over there. What is wrong with these people? They're bored! They're bored by the amount of money they haven't success and then they get scooped up by Satan. And the word on the street now... It was satanic that... Yes! You need glasses

2:35:00 Come on the certain way. It's spiritual man wearing spiritual problems here Jamie Foxx The word on the street now remember Jamie Jamie Foxx just you know He went into coma for three weeks from the covert shot well, the word on the street is that Diddy poisoned him because he has video or pictures of some freak offs And Diddy tried to kill him, and then when he came out of it miraculously he immediately called the FBI. And that the FBI has the goods from Jamie Foxx I'm just telling you what's on the street

2:35:45 So I don't know if that's true, but it's interesting because our constitutional lawyer Rob he is constantly sending me updates about this. It's fascinating the way this...I mean there's a lot of legal stuff going back and forth. Diddy's lawyers trying to get a gag order put on all the media and everything now. I mean it's not over It's not surprising that we don't hear much from the mainstream media, from the M5M about it. Because you never know who is wrapped up in it Yeah well I'll believe when I see it I have an update on McDonalds which was kind of cool Well its no really cool You know the McDonalds now there are 13 more states and everybody getting sick from the quarter pounder The onions literally

CHAPTER 32 / 42 Discussion

McDonald's E. Coli Outage, Beef Price Fixing Lawsuit

McDonald's is dealing with an E. coli outbreak linked to slivered onions on Quarter Pounders across 13 states. The hosts speculate on the timing of the outbreak, noting that McDonald's recently sued major beef suppliers Tyson, Cargill, and JBS for price fixing, suggesting potential corporate retaliation.

mcdonald's· e. coli· quarter pounder· tyson· cargill· price fixing

2:36:38 So, our producer says the Quarter Pounder has been singled out he believes because he says it's the only burger that is cooked fresh and not frozen. But is a just Trump that they're getting into trouble for? Turns out McDonald's has been suing Tyson and Cargill and others for artificially raising the price of beef And these, I mean there's only three companies that do this. Tyson Cargill and what's the other one? Can't remember who are in charge of beef in America and if you're gonna be suing them for price fixing uh...I can see where you might get into some kind of problem about your product What was it a TV series where oh I can't remember what it was now where um...a competing

2:37:33 a competing, yeah it was um ah! It was House of Cards where there was some milkshake shop that was opening up and they were going to short the stock. And so they had people go in buy one of these milkshakes and then they put poison in it themselves so they were puking violently at on the opening day of the milkshake shop I don't remember that being in House of Cards, but... JBC is the other one. Thank you. JBC is the other meat guy So there's something going on there that is bigger than what we're being told. Billions! Thank you. It was on billions That was it thank You Carmen King so But you know you gotta figure out a wonder about these things How do they know what was the onions? There's no evidence The onion people are like yeah We did this not onions Are you clicking your pen?

2:38:26 No, I have a pair of glasses and they closed. The ear things close and then I tried to open them but I was doing it with one hand so they kept closing and making noise. There was an episode on this very podcast where you were clipping your nails on the show? That's what that was an accusation that I denied to this day. It was clicking a pin! Okay my memory...I'm sorry I could be wrong Well, let's at least get these out of the way so we can because it's the phony baloney event of the decade Which is the Iran-Israel thing. By the way I think we called it We said fireworks It's gonna be nice show in the sky nothing much is gonna happen Is that not exactly what we said? This is not

2:39:12 Only exactly but exactly it is actually exactly what we said yes, so here's PBS doing the rundown of course They don't see any of this and they but everything leads to this conclusion So as a I got a five-parter here. It's kind of interesting. It's IRA Iran run down one Tonight Iran is saying that it might not respond in kind Israel's first ever open attack on its soil if there's a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon More than 100 Israeli fighter jets and unmanned drones struck Iranian military targets. Iran's state-run news agency said four members of its military were killed The long anticipated retaliatory attack came early Saturday morning The Israeli Defense Forces said it struck targets where missiles are built and stored Their answer to Iran's missile barrages on Israel in April, earlier this month

CHAPTER 33 / 42 Discussion

Israel-Iran Missile Exchange, Regional De-escalation Analysis

Israel conducted a series of targeted airstrikes against Iranian missile production facilities and air defense systems. Media analysis from PBS and NPR suggests a "Goldilocks" approach intended to impose costs without triggering a full-scale regional war, with Iran signaling it may not retaliate if ceasefires are reached in Gaza and Lebanon.

2:38:26 No, I have a pair of glasses and they closed. The ear things close and then I tried to open them but I was doing it with one hand so they kept closing and making noise. There was an episode on this very podcast where you were clipping your nails on the show? That's what that was an accusation that I denied to this day. It was clicking a pin!

By the way I think we called it We said fireworks It's gonna be nice show in the sky nothing much is gonna happen Is that not exactly what we said? This is not

2:39:12 Only exactly but exactly it is actually exactly what we said yes, so here's PBS doing the rundown of course They don't see any of this and they but everything leads to this conclusion So as a I got a five-parter here. It's kind of interesting. It's IRA Iran run down one Tonight Iran is saying that it might not respond in kind Israel's first ever open attack on its soil if there's a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon More than 100 Israeli fighter jets and unmanned drones struck Iranian military targets. Iran's state-run news agency said four members of its military were killed The long anticipated retaliatory attack came early Saturday morning The Israeli Defense Forces said it struck targets where missiles are built and stored Their answer to Iran's missile barrages on Israel in April, earlier this month

2:40:09 Those followed the killings of Iranian and Hezbollah leaders, which Iran blamed on Israel. On state TV, Iran's ruling regime played down the damage. Although the country's integrated air defense system successfully tracked and confronted the act of aggression, limited damage has been caused to some places. The scope of the attack is being investigated. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari indicated Israeli retaliation was done, for now. We are focused on the targets of the war in Gaza and Lebanon. Iran is the one that continues to push for a wider regional escalation, we will know how to choose additional targets and attack them if necessary." I love that they're just like you know hey man if you guys back off of Gaza and Lebanon we're not gonna shoot anything back any more stuff that doesn't land anywhere this is very interesting development

2:41:12 This is so fake. Yeah, yeah it's gonna number two and pretty fake get close to the good stuff international reaction was swift I wish a speedy recovery to our neighbor Iran in the Iranian government which was the target of the Israeli aggression last night The Zionist Israeli government wants to light the fuse on a regional conflict I am clear that Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian aggression. I'm equally clear that we need to avoid further regional escalation and urge all sides to show restraint Iran should not respond

2:41:57 This afternoon before flying to Pittsburgh for a campaign event, President Biden echoed that call. It looks like they didn't hit anything out of the military targets. My hope is this is the end. A senior administration official said efforts will soon resume to end the fighting in Lebanon secure a ceasefire and Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza If I can just say something about Biden in that clip Did you see Biden running towards the press corps? No. Daddy long legs? Oh, the other Biden yeah could be I didn't see it though Okay the tell is the fake not Joe Biden whose legs are at least five inches longer than the Joe Biden who we don't know where he is always wears the Ray-Bans He had there's something with the eyes that is too much of a giveaway

2:42:52 And he's always wearing the Ray-Bans. Probably different colored eyes? Possibly, so I'm just... Because i have seen photos close up photos of the different Bidens and one of them has got blue eyes and one's got brown. Yeah yeah so just so everybody is aware keep keeping lookout for daddy long legs with the ray bands! Yeah that makes sense So here we have somebody bring somebody in from the Brookings Institute to do an analysis for us because we're dumb. Oh, that'll help. Suzanne Maloney is director of the foreign policy program at the Brookings Institution. Suzanne what do you make of this offer or overture from Iran that they'll not retaliate if there's a ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza?

2:43:32 I think this is consistent with the rhetoric that we've heard from Iran for some time. They've tried to posture that they're actually defending the people of Gaza and the people of Lebanon, and their hostile activity toward Israel will in fact stop if there is a ceasefire. It's also a face-saving gesture because they are unlikely to respond to what was fairly complex and sophisticated attack by Israelis yesterday against Iran. Talk more about last night, the attack last night Was Israel able to accomplish its goals while at the same time, heeding the international calls for restraint?

2:44:07 Well, I think it was a sort of Goldilocks approach on the part of the Israelis. It was big enough to impose some costs and I think have some deterrent impact on Iran's calculus but it was not so big as to create inevitable pressures for escalation and Iranian retaliation which would put the region in much wider and much more dangerous war That obviously was the goal of the United States that had been speaking with the Israeli counterparts about the nature of the attack. There was a lot of discussion about whether nuclear sites would be targeted, whether Iran's oil and gas infrastructure might be targeted but instead they chose to target drone and missile production facilities as well as air defense and radar And I think that that was a very wise and appropriate choice So we're back to calculus

2:44:59 And this really solidifies the whole Trump's gonna come in, make one phone call. Abraham Accords 2 back to China! This is ending Yeah but it won't end until after the election next week No no no So here we go, just a couple more. Not necessarily short but there's four. Israel appears to have used the airspace of Jordan and Iraq to get to the targets in Iran. What does that tell us about Iran standing among its Arab neighbors? Well, the region's reaction has been quite interesting as you noted two of Iran's neighboring states permitted the Israelis to use their airspace to undertake these attacks

2:45:43 It demonstrates how vulnerable Iran is because of the alignment of many countries in the rest of the region with Israel. But, of course there are condemnations for many regional states as well including Saudi Arabia which I think speaks to the fact that no country in the region really wants to see this situation escalate further than it has There's been, for many years Israel and Iran sort of fighting by proxy. Iranian sponsored groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis attacking Israel. Have we reached a new phase now where these two countries these two long time enemies are going to be attacking each other directly?

2:46:23 Yes, I think that's exactly where we were. As you noted for about the past decade there has been a gray zone war between Iran and Israel often involving proxies or war in third countries such as Syria. What we've seen since April is a willingness on the part of the Iranians to strike directly in an attributable fashion against Israel and by Israel to respond directly with attacks on the Iranian homeland. I think this is a much more dangerous phase of the war, although the actions over the past 24 hours may create some pause on the part of Iranians to take the next step of escalation." How does she come up with that? She's making it up as you go along to make it sound like there was actually something going on besides a scam that everybody sitting in a cafe in Turkey

2:47:11 knows this is bull crap and so do half the good analysts out there. This is a theater. Where's our dude named Muhammad? I would have expected him to know. We have a lot of dudes named Muhammad, but the dude named Muhammad who IS Muhammad... The OG Muhammad, dude named Muhammad. He'll come in with some information that guy's good yeah he's very so this is the last one but this is not PBS this is the same rundown short one from NPR and there may be a little discrepant information in here I spoke about this with an official who is briefed on the matter, an official who was not authorized to speak publicly about this but he told me that there were three waves of Israeli strikes on Iran. The first wave of strikes was on Iran's air defenses. The second and third waves were on storage and production sites of ballistic missiles and drones. This official said that Israel's response was designed as kind of a quid pro quo

2:48:05 After Iran carried out its missile strikes on Israel on October 1st, and also designed in a way that Iran would be able to contain any reaction. Israel says that it's retaliation against Iran is now over and Iran indeed is signaling that it's downplaying this. Iran state news agency said Israeli airstrikes caused limited damage, it says civilian flights are up and running again in the country It also said two of its soldiers were killed What? All the reports from PBS said four soldiers were killed Yeah Now this report says 2 This is bullcrap I... you know going back to the initial

CHAPTER 34 / 42 Discussion

Scott Ritter Analysis, Russia-Iran Military Cooperation

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter provides a contrasting analysis of the Israel-Iran conflict, claiming that Russian-operated S-400 missile systems and SU-35 fighters in Iran effectively deterred a larger Israeli attack. Ritter argues that Iran holds the strategic advantage, making a full-scale Israeli strike suicidal.

scott ritter· s-400· russia· iran· benjamin netanyahu

2:48:49 prediction that we said this was theater and it would be fireworks in the sky, and calm down everybody. We're not in World War III I would like to show you the difference between your NOAAgenda Show and The Culture War Economy And I'd hate to say it but Scott Ritter is the one who said this The entire Israeli package was based upon Iranian defenses defined by S-300 type capabilities. S-300 is a Russian service to air missile, the Russians just provided Iranians with significant number of S400s together with sophisticated electronic warfare packages gonna jam the Israelis as they come in backed up by SU35 fighters now here's the thing how many Iranians been trained on operation of the S400? I'll give you quick hint none who's operating the S 400 on iranian soil i'll give another hint the russians who flying the s 35 not iranian pilots russian

2:49:37 So now Israel to attack Iran is going to have to go head-to-head with Russia. Do you think Israel wants to do that? You think Israel's ready to do that? Do you think the United States is willing to let them do that? Now what is Israel going to bomb, are they gonna bomb a nuclear site? That's the end of Israel. Israel disappears that quick. You understand the first Israeli bomb that drops on Iran over 500 missiles will immediately be fired these are solid rocket fuel missiles you can immediately load fire 500 more within 15 minutes. That's a thousand missiles impacting every strategic site in Israel within 30 minutes of the first Israeli bomb dropping, the Israeli airplane won't even be halfway home before his entire country is destroyed that's going through the mind of Benjamin Netanyahu you want to know why he didn't order the attack? Because he can't order the attack! He's got nothing to attack with Iran holds all the cards

2:50:18 Okay. Wow, wow okay clip of the day. Oh! Even... Wow Despite the crappy audio. Thank you I appreciate that. A classic this Scott Ritter is one of those guys he's a plant. He's entertaining to listen and does make some interesting points on certain specific shows he keeps showing up on But that's the example right there of what we think is going on, which is backed up by what's going on. And what other people think it's going on which is some sort of op. There's a psyop at what he just said. Yep yep and now you even have to question... Is the FBI showing up at his house? Is that part of the psy-op to make him more legit

2:51:10 Yeah, you know well we always we always believe in this is this meta version of everything where this what you would looks like Happening is really done for the purposes of drawing attention and not really doing anything. Yeah that has to be It's part of the whole thing he made such a fuss about it come We never get any of these deals We don't know that we're not getting these deals when people do a Rub-a-Lizer donation. But they're not giving me any info for the deal, just say here's a Rub-A-Lizer donation! They want our info! No they want the good info... We are analysts

Joe Biden Native American Apology, Body Double Speculation

President Joe Biden formally apologized for the historical mistreatment of Native American children in federal boarding schools. The hosts analyze video of the event, noting Biden's unusually energetic movement and "yelling" delivery, leading to speculative banter about the use of a body double nicknamed "Daddy Longlegs."

We're doing our analysis and they are listening in, the they are listening in and they're going, oh but this guy... we gotta do a better job but we haven't fooled him on this one. We get fooled! Oh, let me play. I have 18 seconds. So Daddy Longlegs sees the press runs up to the press and when's the last time he saw it? Which by the way, the real Biden never does! He shuffles, he can't, he'll fall over then then he hops up the big stairs on Air Force One not the little cargo bay hops up there

2:52:31 flies over. Oh, that's the giveaway right there he hasn't gone up those big stairs for a year or two and this is to apologize for the Native American boarding school fracas. Oh please! What do you know what this is about? Yeah, it was for the early years of our country from the 1800s mostly took place. When we were moving the Indians all over the place, we insisted that they go to American boarding schools for them to be raised as Americans and so he basically kidnapped most of the Navajo and all these various children of Indians

2:53:08 And instead of letting them be homeschooled in a teepee, they were... In the casino. They were pulled out. They're the guys, by the way these are the kids that are running the casinos now and they were raised as white people and we have to apologize because this was unfair to these kids who should have been raised as Indians, as Native Americans. So Daddy Longlegs shows up at wherever he was after this little jaunt And this was running up to the press, it was unbelievable. Like no that's not... First of all you see his legs are visibly longer and then he's standing up there and he's got the Ray-Bans on After 150 years The United States government eventually stopped the program But the federal government has never, never formally apologized for what happened

2:54:07 Until today, I formally apologize. That's not Joe Biden! No. That is not Joe Biden listen to that at the end again here until today i formerly apologize. Apologizing? Whoa whoa what are you easy there daddy long legs What kind of an apology is yelling? Yeah. How do you yell an apology? Well, I'm gonna try it on you! It's insincere. Hey... I'M SORRY JOHN! I'M SORRY I TOLD YOU A CLIP OF YOUR NAILS!! See that would be- That would sound like your just being sarcastic. Yeah So this guy is no good No Well I have some Halloween clips if you want to do those or we can just skip them Nah what Halloween clips

Sing Sing Prison Film Festival, Incarcerated Judges

The Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York hosted its first film festival, where incarcerated men served as judges for documentaries about the criminal justice system. The event follows a similar festival held at San Quentin in California, aiming to provide vocational training in film critique for inmates.

2:54:55 on how disgusting body traders you know I have not listened to these clips but i feel that this is very out of character for you because you will not choose art because it's disgusting yet you feel it's okay to show up with disgusting clips on the show. I just use the word disgusting as a trigger Well, I'm triggered. What else is not really disgusting in a true sense? It's about collectors that and I have to say this as an archivist Collectors who have gotten carried away And they've and it's a couple of married couple that they found each other and this whole story which has done it was a I think NPR Is it it's one of those things that

2:55:41 You know, we ridicule NPR but every once in a while they do something that is like spectacular. So you have eight minutes of clips? Is that good? Well it's 150, 150, 130... It's not that long! It is I can count four five six seven eights eight and a half minutes. Are we running out of show We can make as much show as you want I can also do these on the next show after Halloween's over. He's a good story. This is a good series series, it's maybe too much. Do um... I'm just of course I don't know what your clips are but what's the uh we've got new UK riots you've got prison film fest yeah what is that? Prison Film Fest The prison film fests is an interesting story because again its California leading the way even though you wouldn't think so at the beginning in this story but at the end they finally

2:56:36 Close it out with again, California leads the way. A maximum security prison north of New York City is hosting a film festival this week as Samantha Max of member station WNYC reports all the movies are about the criminal justice system All the judges are incarcerated. A group of men serving time at the Sing Sing correctional facility evaluated five documentaries about policing prisons and the courts A formerly incarcerated filmmaker visited the men at Sing Sing and trained them on how to critique movies. Kiki Dunstan works for the Marshall Project, which organized the film festival. She says she hopes other prisons will hold their own festivals in the future. And we just pray that we can continue to do programs like this to show that it can happen, to be honest The event is the first known film festival inside a prison in New York and just the second nationwide. The San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in California held its own festival earlier this month

Wegovy Pediatric Promotion, Pharmaceutical Native Advertising

PBS aired a segment promoting the use of weight-loss drugs like Wegovy for children as young as 12, citing a 600% increase in usage. The hosts criticize the report as "native advertising," arguing that the medical establishment is using chemicals to treat symptoms of a toxic food supply rather than addressing dietary causes.

wegovy· ozempic· pcos· obesity· pediatric medicine· pbs

2:57:40 So we're training film critics in prison which makes sense to me. Well, they're voting They can do everything else they can get they can transition I mean why not? Yes, I think it's perfect by the way and tomatoes will never be the same Thursday is Halloween so you can do your gruesome story Before the kids go trick-or-treating on Thursday How does that sound that sounds let sounds fair to me That sounds fair to me too, so let's go with disgusting... No no. Let's do Wigovi. Oh you want it? Wow! Yeah that was a good switcheroo. You like it huh mom? It was very very slick. Switcheroo of the day yeah okay yes well this is I consider this to be a native ad

2:58:28 that was again, PBS is doing these native ads and here we go with a big promotion of Wagovi. Physicians are increasingly using weight loss drugs to treat obesity, diabetes and other chronic conditions in young people including children. In the last three years the number of people aged between 12-25 using drugs like Wagovi and Ozempic has surged nearly 600%. Allie Rogan looks at the high demand for these drugs and the concerns surrounding them. Approximately one in five children and adolescents in the US is obese, but experts say early intensive treatment can prevent health issues down the line. Early last year The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the use of medication to treat obesity in children's ages 12 and up

2:59:18 We spoke to two young women who have been using these medications. I had been struggling with my weight and i had never gotten my period before, and we weren't sure what was up with it. And then taking some labs and we found out that I had PCOS I think a lot of people think, especially PCOS that they're stuck and there isn't options. And they're finding out that this is an option because it has helped me lose almost 90 pounds and I got my period. It's helped with my conflicts in so many other things. Continuing it has just shown the effectiveness as well. Okay first observation, first PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome which is hormonal

3:00:02 during the reproductive years is when that takes place, but it's interesting that they are only talking about these medicines as Wigovi where there are many more. The most famous of which would be Ozempic So this is what I'm saying. This isn't an ad for a Govy. Yeah, OK? And they get it good just by the way these three clips I have are part of about a 10 minute program of these. Great. It's like almost like I'm looking at PCOS common condition common condition that affects your hormones. It causes irregular menstrual periods which is what she was complaining of excess hair growth acne and infertility treatment for PCOS depends on if you wish to become pregnant

3:00:44 People with PCOS may be at higher risk for certain health conditions. So how do you get it? It actually creates... Oh, this is interesting! I'm not a doctor of course but it says that PCOS can actually make you gain weight so they're trying to treat a symptom here and not the actual cause And it matters not because Wigovi is fabulous. Despite the effectiveness of these drugs, some doctors are concerned about the lack of data available for children using them long-term Dr Melanie Cree is a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's Hospital Colorado and she treated both Sophie and Autumn. Dr Cree thank you so much for joining us first of all why are we seeing this increase of children using these medications? The reason we're seeing such an increase

3:01:40 and our children are really suffering from outcomes from excess weight, ranging from mental health and bullying to the development of serious metabolic disease such as type 2 diabetes. When you're treating patients what sort of options do you consider before looking at medication? This is a script! Listen how she reads that script after she says oh no you gain weight because It's very possible that you're being bullied and then you resort to eating. This is poor information, even I can see this is not good And our children are really suffering from outcomes from excess weight ranging from mental health and bullying To the development of serious metabolic disease such as type 2 diabetes When your treating patients what sort of options do you consider before looking at medication?

3:02:38 So we always look at lifestyle in terms of trying to help a child who's struggling with weight achieve better health. And we can look at different aspects of food, are they getting enough fruits and vegetables? Cutting down on simple carbohydrates Really cutting liquid calories. What can they do to increase their activity? Is their neighborhood safe to exercise in, did they have access to facilities or sports? Sleep is very important. Do they have somewhere quiet to sleep? Did they get enough sleep and then obviously mental health is very important and are they stressed

3:03:18 or are they living in a difficult social environment? And helping align all of these to optimize children's health is something that we do prior to trying any medication. Give these kids some steak! Give them a ribeye! No, you can't just... You gotta poison him with the food supply that we have. Nooo, please RFK Jr Come on, I think they should make him head of health and human services. That's where they should put it Yes, he would cause nothing but a headache for everybody and it'd be about time Yeah, here we go. What are some of the misconceptions that you've encountered about? prescribing these medications and the children who are on them, I think the number one misconception is that the individual is failing somehow or

3:04:09 that somebody has to do these medications if they don't have a strong enough willpower and that they're weak and can't do this on their own. And, that's just absolutely not true. These are chemicals and when you take chemicals and they help you lose weight, that means that you've got a problem with the chemicals in your brain that are helping you to regulate how you sense appetite and how you sense fullness Chemicals, the chemicals is counteracting the chemicals. The poisons that you've been getting from this American food supply it's high fructose corn syrup being one of them which is a chemical it's produced at a refinery It's not even something as natural. That's where they make oil and lubricants

CHAPTER 38 / 42 Discussion

COP 16, World Bank Climate Finance Discrepancies

As COP 16 convenes in Colombia, reports from Oxfam suggest that up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance is unaccounted for. Janet Yellen's comments on "stretching balance sheets" to provide $360 billion in annual climate lending are framed by the hosts as a massive global financial redistribution scheme.

cop 16· world bank· janet yellen· climate finance· oxfam

3:05:00 It's just unbelievable and it's the way they do it so cavalier. Well, you get these chemicals that will counteract the other chemicals which are already counteracting natural chemicals that should have been counteracted by the other chemicals but what are you doing? The control room correctly said I was very very bad to say give that kid a stake because we all know that creates more climate change and I will wrap it up with some climate change. Yes! You horrible person Since COP 16 is underway In Colombia, United Nations reports climate has become more difficult to save. Yes we're all gonna die! United Nations reports on climate goals says countries have made no progress

3:05:43 How about that? The German farmers, however will be closing the roads and bridges this time for their strike coming up on November 23rd amongst the report from Oxfam one of the largest non-governmental organizations that up to 41 billion dollars in World Bank climate finance is unaccounted for. And wouldn't it just be coincidental that I have a clip from Grandma Yellen once again, Janet Yellen at the IMF and World Bank Jamboree talking about climate finance. Confronting climate change of course also remains at the top of our agenda. The MDBs committed... She's talking about MDBs here that's multilateral development banks

3:06:37 Those are basically the IMF and the World Bank, which is your money in my money that they're spending and clearly not keeping track of. Confronting climate change of course also remains at the top of our agenda The MDBs committed a record high of nearly 75 billion dollars in climate finance to low-and middle income countries in 2023 a 45% increase from 2021, and they're deploying new tools to help countries respond to crises and increase resilience.

3:07:17 We will continue to work to make climate finance easier to access and support additional private capital mobilization at the MDBs and through the Climate and Environment Trust funds. There, we should turn to implementing the recommendations of the recently finalized review of the climate finance architecture that we worked with G20 partners to launch And we've made significant progress putting conflict and fragility, pandemics and climate change at the core of the MDB's work through the evolution agenda. The MDBs have responsibly stretched their balance sheets

3:08:05 and pursued innovative financial measures that will enable $200 billion in additional lending capacity over the next 10 years. And as of July, the G20 estimates that measures that have already been identified could enable an additional almost $160 billion dollars This nearly 360 billion in total would be an annual increase of over 20% compared to 2023. They are ripping us off! No kidding? And listen to the money and it's oh, it's available for climate finance infrastructure

John's Tip of the Day, Smooth Edge Lid Removers

John C. Dvorak provides a "Tip of the Day" regarding smooth-edge lid removers, a type of can opener that unlatches the lid rather than cutting the metal. He explains the safety benefits of the device, which leaves no sharp edges and allows the lid to be replaced, noting he first discovered the technology in France.

can opener· lid remover· smooth edge· kitchen tools· patent

3:25:09 That is not how I like to do my transitions. I'm so sorry. And now everybody, it's time for your favorite part of the show! It is John's Tip of the Day! Great advice for you and me Just a tip with JCD And sometimes Adam Well, this is a screwy one but definitely something I need to talk about. Okay! I'm recommending another product there's a bunch of people that make this product Surprise another product This is a lid remover type can opener Oh, these are actually quite handy to have around the house. I've discovered these things in France in the 70s when I was visiting...I went to France one of my trips when I was working for the government and go to France all the time. Yes And I bought one there which I still have and it still works

3:26:04 This is different than the can, and by the way I had to wait 20 years to see them in United States because there's a patent or something involved in this. But what this thing does and it's called a smooth edge, it's called lid remover, its got different titles for what they are you have to be careful. A normal can opener cracks top of the can and then grind around and rips open the can and leaves it gives you a sharp edge thing and cut yourself. These lid removers take literally reach under the lid and pull the unlatch, the lid that entire lid from the can pull it off and then you dumped a product out and then you can wash the cannon put the lid back on it is like of canned this amazing these things are the absolute best

3:26:50 They're actually it takes a little more work to get them Once you get the hang of because you have to put in at a certain angle and to make it work But do you have one? I do not have one. I'm thinking I need to get one. Oh, I thought you said they were great Well, I've seen old ladies use them. Oops sorry! Old ladies don't even know what they are? Old ladies use can openers... This is yeah sounds like something i might want to pick up You'd love it these things you should the can opener which just rips off the top is not anything like these lid removers. And what you want is one of these things, they're about to say eight or nine bucks maybe. Once you get the hang on how to use them because it does take a little skill more than a can opener and they're just dynamite and once you start using them you go wow where has this been all my life? So this basically a better mouse trap Yeah

3:27:48 And do you have a brand in mind? No, there's about 20 guys who make them and they're all pretty much the same design. They get underneath the lid lip and they unhook the lid from the can and they pull the whole lid off and it can be put back on This is an amazing tip of the day Another winner from John C. Dvorak It is the Tip Of The Day everybody You can find it at www.tipoftheday.net Creative Vines for you and me. Just a tip with JCD, and sometimes Adam. Well there it is! We wind up episode number 17... I mean anniversary number 17 Episode 1707 on October 27th Does it get any crazier than that? I don't think so
