About this episode

Donald Trump sparked a media firestorm in Green Bay by arriving at a rally in a high-visibility vest and a branded garbage truck. The stunt followed a controversial Zoom call where Joe Biden appeared to label Trump supporters as garbage, a comment the White House later attributed to a possessive apostrophe regarding comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. This escalation of rhetoric has defined the final week of the 2024 election cycle as both campaigns trade insults over voter character.

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing arguments at The Ellipse, framing her opponent as a threat to democracy while facing distractions from the Biden gaffe. Meanwhile, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold faces calls for resignation after voting machine passwords were leaked on a public website. In the Pacific Northwest, the FBI is investigating arson attacks on ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington marked with Free Gaza messages. On the international stage, China launched the Shenzhou-19 mission to the Tiangong Space Station as General Mark Milley warned of potential conflict over Taiwan by 2027.

Cultural oddities round out the week as New York City legalizes jaywalking and a Delaware couple reveals their living room collection of seven human skeletons. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faces comparisons to 1980s insult humor following his Madison Square Garden set. Producers also celebrate the show's 17th anniversary with a custom glass sword from Dame Loco and a Harvard study involving a student eating 720 eggs in a single month.

A host's wife, Tina, received a five-day ban from Instagram after commenting on a Zara clothing advertisement.

The platform flagged her account as "not safe for the community" following the interaction.

Donald Trump Garbage Truck Stunt, Election Humor

Donald Trump appeared in a garbage truck in Green Bay, Wisconsin, wearing a high-visibility vest to capitalize on a recent verbal slip by Joe Biden. Supporters in Fredericksburg and New York City have adopted garbage-themed attire and bins as political symbols. The event is noted for bringing a sense of humor and classic American political theater back to the 2024 election cycle.

03:51 And everything took a beautiful turn. How do you like my garbage, Chuck? It took a beautiful turn. Everybody's objects... I have to say we're gonna miss this as this election comes to fruition it's going to be sorely missed yeah This was just the sequence of events where we will get into the Hitler rally with the garbage comment and then Biden with the garbage comment, and then Trump taking a running in with it. With the garbage truck I mean this morning in Fredericksburg there are MAGA houses with garbage bins outside. I'm under the impression that in New York City

04:36 There are random people wandering around with that, with the garbage vests. I mean why wouldn't you just go on election day and put a garbage bag on? It's hilarious! The vest is one thing but people are putting garbage bags on their head as hats Well, it's supposed to be a... Tonight should be... It's supposed to be used a lot for the Halloween costume. And you know this whole episode reminds me of what we used to be like in America We used to be funny! We had fun with stuff! We weren't all butthurt over comments all the time I mean this started during the course of this show maybe 15 years ago

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Joe Biden Garbage Comment, Tony Hinchcliffe Controversy

Joe Biden sparked controversy during a Zoom call by appearing to refer to Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage." The comment followed a joke made by insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe at a Madison Square Garden rally, where he referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later attempted to clarify that Biden was referring specifically to the comedian's rhetoric, not the voters.

joe biden· tony hinchcliffe· puerto rico· madison square garden· karine jean-pierre

05:23 Oh, bullying and bullying was hate speech. Bullying, that was the key. Yeah it was bullying to hate speech and then cancelling and cultural appropriation I mean Halloween? Oh man what can you even dress as anymore? What can you dress as?! You can't dress as a Mexican! You can't dress as a cowboy or an Indian! You can't dress up as anything anymore Now a garbageman is great So I'm really happy that this is happening. And well, I see you have you actually have a very good version of the Biden garbage comment which was hard to find audio wise and lengthwise can I play that? Yes this is by this would trigger the whole thing let's see little background for anyone out there who kind of missed this on how you do one living under a garbage can yes is that just before Kamala gave her final and definitive

06:20 definitive speech on the lawn of Washington DC, The Ellipse or whatever it's called. Biden for some reason... This is the thing I have questions about this by the way. Biden goes on Zoom and I don't know who, it was never explained who he's talking to on Zoom. No Or how this video got out Oh how the video got out but Jean-Pierre Claude Van Damme is the one who put him on zoom it turns out Uh huh And so there's something screwy about that But we don't know who he was talking to yet or why and why it was just before Kamala's speech It was sabotage I believe so too

07:06 Yeah, it was sabotage. We're seeing a lot of sabotage we're seeing some I think there's also Roger Stone stuff going on He still breathing? Oh yeah well he's a dirty tricks guy and he knows how to do stuff like this And so Biden comes in the end This follows the Madison Square Garden event where they comedian who you know is a famous podcaster What's his name Tony Hinchcliffe He's an insult comic type of guy and he also does roasts. Yeah, well the Kill Tony podcast which is kind of interview format but then he also has this stage show which I think is on four shows a week at Joe's Comedy Club

07:57 And he lets new comics come up. They get to do one minute of bit and then they have a panel and they just slaughter whoever's up there, so that's kind that's kind of the roasting part but is really a cultural insult comic particularly during covid. He was just saying the Chinese suck and they can't you know it's a whole thing that says is not some of its really funny most was like OK But I thought it was very, I thought his stuff was good. He had good stuff during the... And he did a joke that the Democrats tried to jump on which was that he says well you know there's a big view we've heard about this big island of garbage in the ocean and he says it turns out to be Puerto Rico yeah and by the way he is sold out Madison Square Garden three times himself for a solo show

08:48 So they've marginalized the guy as some crazy comic, but I guess as you point out he's not a marginal character. But the Puerto Rican thing they tried to make hay with that and so it didn't go anywhere really and then it became kind of a topic conversation until Joe Biden comes on the air, on this Zoom call and it gets distributed all over the place for some again unknown reason. Unknown biases, unknown discussion we don't know anything about but it was Biden and he said the following just the other day a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage well let me tell you something

09:33 I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know or Puerto Rico where in my home state of Delaware, they're good decent honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters." So by the way he almost said where I'm from yeah Where you went to school? I went to school with Puerto Ricans So, Scott Adams did something very interesting and I believe he is correct. Although the sabb... you are correct about the sabotage and i'm about to explain this with these three clips so scott adams he says this is really a very fine people thing on the Biden side now i'm just going to play it again

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

Scott Adams Analysis, Biden Apostrophe Defense

Dilbert creator Scott Adams proposed a linguistic defense of Joe Biden, suggesting the President used a possessive apostrophe ("supporter's") rather than a plural noun. This interpretation would mean Biden was calling the comedian's "garbage" rhetoric the issue, rather than the supporters themselves. However, critics argue the White House's shifting explanations and the audio evidence make this grammatical defense unlikely to persuade the public.

scott adams· joe biden· grammar· apostrophe· persuasion

10:22 The last bit here, so we all are clearly hear what Biden said. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters Okay the only garbage that I see floating out here is his supporters Here's what Scott Adams said This story is total bullshit He didn't say that No he didn't say that What? Let me tell you what he said The supporters...the word supporters If you thought the supporters was apostrophe S, then what it means is the only garbage I see floating out there is coming from his supporters. Meaning the things they say about Puerto Rico The only garbage is something that belongs to his supporters. Possessive s Now listen to it again! The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters

11:13 So, I'm not – I think Scott has a very good point here. Were it not that Kareem Jean-Pierre Abdul Jabbar did not explain it as a possessive. She explained it differently. So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage which is why he put out this is why he wanted to make sure that we put out A statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say And so I just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching and now-and I just wanna read that out to folks. So he's regarding to the comedian

11:52 He was not saying this regarding to the comedian. In fact, he very clearly says supporters plural with an S one more time. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters It's about the s Now Karine Jean-Pierre is either so desperate or in such a destructive and I think you're right sabotage mode that she even got a stooge of the press corps I have not been able to figure out who it was. It's, you know, that's Ducey no it's not Ducey definitely is not him. No it's not Ducey. Got a stooge from the press corps to ask... To set her up with a question and explicitly say supporter-err-err Not supporters but supporter to

12:39 legitimize and give her the alley-oop for her, oh no that was about the comedian. Listen to this setup which is really from a... I mean this is not a press corps, this is a propaganda corp! Did you hear him say supporter? Even vocal fries it a little bit supporter, Trump's supporter is a murder garbage. And I know he's trying to clarify that he was trying to talk about what the person said but one...I guess I want to know does he think less

13:18 of Americans who support Trump than he does of those who do not. And two, why is he using that kind of rhetoric? How is that presidential? How about that set-up question? I mean, is this a moron or is this someone who's a shill in the audience? So is he using that to say something bad about Trump supporters? A couple of things, a couple of things. He was not calling Trump supporters garbage which is why he put out this is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say and so just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching you know and I just wanna

14:00 Read that out to folks. So he was regarding to the comedian and I quote, I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter. Supporter? Oh now it's supporter! What?! It's supporter because you set it up this is a sad setup. About Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, that's all I meant to say." The comments at the rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.

14:41 So even this could, Scott Adams could pull this apart and say no no it's about the supporter because she left off the apostrophe s. The bottom line who cares? It's America! It's hilarious listen to this... I have to add to this first of all Can you turn your speakers down just a little bit i can't you keep cracking through the gate just a little bit What do you need? Just your speakers down a little bit, just a tad. Oh oh sorry! Yeah just a little bit... You were jamming to Darren O that's what was happening there. Oh yeah that was it so I was tapping my toe actually and

15:19 couple of First of all, we heard what we heard. Yes So Scott I know why Scotts doing this and I don't know why this is possibly because just own it because he wants he wants to be controversial and get People to think he's awesome his the sentence that followed what? He said with no edits is What would do a Biden said I don't have a clip of it by it is out there though immediately after what he said, right at the end of it. He says his demonization is unconscionable now is he talking about the comedian? Or about Trump! We're about Trump we know what he's talking about and we know Joe Biden if you're gonna be calling everybody in Nazi or fascist misogynists you go on and on and on... Now he's Mr. Nice Guy

Donald Trump Green Bay Rally, High-Visibility Vest Anecdote

Donald Trump detailed the logistics of his garbage truck photo op, noting his staff suggested the idea just 30 minutes before landing in Wisconsin. He joked about the difficulty of climbing into the large vehicle and his decision to wear the safety vest on stage after being told it made him look thinner. Trump compared the truck driver to a young Cary Grant and used the moment to mock the physical and cognitive health of his opponents.

donald trump· green bay· garbage truck· high-visibility vest· cary grant

16:18 I mean, so give me a break. All this is nonsense and if anybody's gonna nobody's gonna buy it and nobody's gonna buy Scott's analysis. This was obvious what he meant and he did it on purpose and I think him may have subconsciously done it to sabotage the campaign because he subconsciously hates the idea that he's not running cuz he knows he'd be doing better than Kamala's doing well in in grand American tradition Which is somehow the opposite of a Dean scream. I don't know how he does it, Trump just... And this sounds like this has the whole feel like it's from his mind. Oh get me garbage truck! This is great idea

16:58 Maybe he's got... Yeah? I have the explanation of how this came about. Oh, let me play this quickie and then i want to hear your explanation clip. While former president Trump holds dueling campaign events in those same battlegrounds speaking in North Carolina earlier responding to President Biden's comments on Puerto Rico insisting Biden called Trump supporters garbage though the White House says that's not what he meant Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage And they mean it. Today, ahead of his rally in Green Bay Wisconsin Trump in a garbage truck How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden Both candidates will then head west tomorrow with Trump expected at a rally in New Mexico and Nevada So the Hill Country Christian nationalists are all emailing Psalm 2 verse 4 around today He who sits in heaven laughs The Lord holds them in derision

18:03 It has ignited everybody with glee and humor. It's fantastic! Everybody loves this. So Trump did the topper, there are two parts of it, these are the two Trump clips I have... He's in Green Bay wearing the vest. The vest! So he's wearing the vest... It needed some garb, it needed to be dirtied up a little bit. Needed like half of banana peel or something that was too clean Well I don't think you have to go that far but i'll say this The vest he is wearing is not the vest he wore on the truck Oh well okay Okay He changed the vest But he still makes it sound like he did With the Hardy Boys now The Hardy Boys have figured something out Its a different vest but thats okay

18:50 So he does, he talks about how this came about and it turns into a new bit. This was five minutes so I had to cut it in half and take some of the long applause lines out but this is part one of his explanation. This outfit you know when they called us all garbage How stupid what a stupid word that blows deplorable away don't ya think? Of course I thought irredeemable when she said deplorable or irredeemable. I thought irredeemable was actually worse, but deplorable seemed to catch up with this garbage stuff blows it away so... I'm in this beautiful plane and enjoying myself have a wonderful suit on. Beautiful plane! And one of my people came in and said sir you know the word garbage is the hottest thing right now? Out there

19:53 The hottest thing out there, sir Would you like to drive a garbage truck? Now we're about you know 30 minutes from landing. We had to do this pretty quick I said it's sort of cool though isn't it because you know and I said You know I think that's okay But yeah, I don't feel comfortable wearing the suit And they pulled up this garbage truck. I don't know how the hell they did it so fast, I have very capable people They put a big sign on the truck Did you see it? I think they showed us and then they said Sir, we have a vest. I said wow Should i leave my suit on and put it over the vest but that doesn't look very good right? That doesn't look good so i said all right look let me take it off And then i actually said...i climbed into the truck but here's the thing So i said how do you get into this truck its way up high

20:43 This was a beauty I said you didn't have to buy it that big right you have to get it that big They brought this brand new gorgeous truck wonderful driver. He looked like Cary Grant in his prime, you know Okay boomer And he drove that big thing up Then I said man is bad because now we have all the cameras are all what did look look at all the fake news they were most of them He did have to do a little hoisting to get himself in I noticed. Yes, he pulled it off. Yeah well he continues with the story

21:19 Most of them, many of them were there and I'm saying oh boy. You know one little mistake with these guys and your political career is over you can't even so I said man if i don't get up to this it's going to be very embarrassing These stupid people they'll say he's cognitively and physically impaired And I can do that when I am alongside this great athlete I gotta get up to that So look the first day was like up here I'm saying shit. So, so I had the adrenaline going and I made it. And then I gave a little news conference from the front of you know they ask their wise guy questions and everything and then we drove about two feet I got out. And then I got in the car and I'm driving over here and I have this still on and come into the arena and I say where's my jacket?

22:20 I want to get out of this stage. And they said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage. And I said, no way! I got 25000 people standing outside and all these people here there's no way I'm wearing it on stage They said okay sir. I say give me my jacket but if you did It actually makes you look thinner. I said, and they got me! I said, I want to wear it on stage when they said I looked thinner...I said in that case, I'll wear a mask. I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go- I may go in this. They said that was my That was the word. That was the key so you look thinner So anyway, we had a little fun about a very serious subject

23:14 Yeah, I'm actually laughing about his shtick here. He's self-deprecating a lot more than he did in 2016 or 2020 for that matter. Yeah and that whole bit is very endearing So by the way, you know that it's funny that getting into that truck is because Bruni I got brunetti has a fire truck That's similar to that garbage truck in terms of getting into it. That's the one you crashed into the fence. I Never crashed into the fan. That's his what he says but you have You have to actually be shown how to get into it because you just, if you look at it as why do you get in this thing? It's a very similar. And if you watch Trump get into it, you see that part of the mechanism is grabbing a hole of a couple of grips that you have to know where they are and then pull yourself out. Well what's happening here with this... A typical retail politician move as you go

Tony Hinchcliffe Comedy, Seinfeld Comparison

The reaction to Tony Hinchcliffe's Madison Square Garden set is compared to the era of 1980s New York comedy where observational and insult humor were common. References are made to Jerry Seinfeld and Gilbert Gottfried as examples of performers who operated without the modern constraints of "cancel culture" or "hate speech" labels. The discussion suggests that Hinchcliffe is part of a movement attempting to reclaim free speech in the comedy circuit.

tony hinchcliffe· jerry seinfeld· cancel culture· insult comedy· madison square garden

24:15 to the rodeo, to the county fair. You eat the stupid corn dog you know? You pretend you like the burger... Yeah and they take a picture of you sucking on a giant corn dog! And you gotta have your shirt sleeves rolled up and your jacket off which is all phony but this is just such an obvious one it makes so much by the way also looks like in like an airport marshal or with the jacket on he looks like a construction worker I mean people identify with that vest So I think that will go down as just a brilliant move. I want to go back though, because this all started and it was...I mean, I didn't clip my hate listen but I'm telling you Kara and Scott were like this is the October surprise! Now we can get all the Puerto Ricans to vote for Kamala. And these people are so insanely stupid. And jitty about it too. Wait wait wait, the October surprise was the comic?

25:09 Yes, that was the October surprise. There were even some stories like people would email me it was a setup right? It was a set up for him to do that I'm like what are you talking about So I'm gonna go to NPR first because they summarized the Madison Square rally as you'd expect them to. Former President Trump was in New York holding a rally at Madison Square Garden and one of the speakers described Harris as quote, The Antichrist that was one of many insults and grievances as Trump made his final appeal to the nation. NPR political correspondent Daniel Kurtzleben was in the arena. Daniel good morning! Hey good morning! What was it like?

25:47 Well, it was a Trump rally but it was dialed way up in intensity. It started with more than four hours of guest speakers and the first guests of the night set what was a pretty vitriolic tone. Comedian and podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe joked that Puerto Rico is quote a floating island of garbage he also said that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey quote might be the next OJ Simpson. Kelsey of course is dating Harris supporter Taylor Swift So what we have here seems to be a joke about killing one of the most famous women in the world. And it just went from there, one speaker seemed to imply that Harris is a prostitute Tucker Carlson made fun of Harris being biracial he also called her low IQ Later in his speech Carlson nodded to racist great replacement theory so overall really inflammatory night Given that Republicans are trying to appeal to all kinds of people this doesn't sound like a unifying message Big mistake No and that matters

26:43 Consider the gender gap in this election. Polls show Trump is ahead with men, that he's well behind with women Well when one of his openers jokes about Taylor Swift being killed by her boyfriend That arguably isn't a winning message for those women voters Wow what a way to explain a joke I need to say something about Hitchcliff for a moment As I... because I watched it you know but I saw him I saw most of those in real time And as I'm watching him, and his whole message was free speech. Freedom of speech and being able to say what you want and not everybody getting so butthurt... We happened to be re-watching all of Seinfeld starting at episode one which by the way Kramer was called Kessler in episode one oddly and episode two he was Kramer

27:29 And, you know, so Jerry Seinfeld if you've never seen the show he does. You know it's opens with some stand up of his where he kinds of sets up with this observational humor sets up the episode and then he comes back about three quarters of the way through and then sometimes at the end. I remember what it was like in New York in the 80s. You had The Comedy Cellar and all these other places, and all of these comics would come on to MTV and you know Gilbert Gottfried Judy Tenuta and Elmo Gosh! Judy Tenuta? Yeah oh yeah they would do VJ segments you know and obviously from time to time hey come by the club and see my set tonight And they would do...

28:13 this kind of stand-up that Tony Hitchcliff is doing and it was like no one was butthurt. You might get booed or heckled, but it wasn't like people were ready to go beat you up and call you a Nazi I mean the Taylor Swift OJ joke was pretty funny in context so we just lost that with the bullying at school and the hate speech and all this stuff And somehow it came back and Hitchcliff along with others, is kind of making it okay to do that again without everybody getting all off-kilter about it. Now this Nazi rally comparison 1939... This started with Atlantic Magazine

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Laurene Powell Jobs, The Atlantic Editorial Strategy

Laurene Powell Jobs is highlighted for her acquisition of The Atlantic and her stated goal of using the publication to shape the "cultural narrative." The discussion links this strategy to recent articles by Ann Applebaum that compare Donald Trump to historical dictators. The hosts argue that the magazine serves as a tool for cross-disciplinary influence involving capital investment and policy.

laurene powell jobs· the atlantic· ann applebaum· cultural narrative· philanthropy

28:57 It started with an article by, I forget who it is in Atlantic magazine which i can't read because behind a paywall but all right. I guess NPR and all the hoity-toity people read it and so they went oh yeah that's right 1939 Nazi rally! And I just happened to come across this clip Is that the article has said that equated Trump with Hitler? Yes. Stalin? Yes. Well you know who the writer was? Hit me. Ann Applebaum Oh well of course And we know who owns the Atlantic, Laurene Powell Jobs. I happen to have a short clip here of an interview that she did on Recode which was Kara Swisher's conference sitting on stage it's Lauren Powell Jobs and Kamala Harris how coincidental is that?

29:54 And it's about why she bought Atlantic Magazine. It was pretty obvious to me that we could build... By the way, she is really pretty in this interview You know, over time I think she's gotten ugly because of the inside. She's like... I agree with you 100%. That was all right but she was pretty during this interview like wow stunning and she became unpretty it was pretty obvious to me that we could build We build out in a very cross-disciplinary way our work, capital investing and policy and philanthropy. And we could do this work forever and ever, and we could have the narrative overtaken by

30:45 by someone who has a lot of power, who's completely contrary to us. And we could never get to the place where we think were part of more just and equal society and so it was obvious that if we could be part the creation of cultural narrative, that would enhance and amplify all the work that we're doing. Which is Hillary Clinton talked about today is telling the story getting content out there yeah she was yes you know yeah early days for us but that's that's the idea behind it we want to inspire the kind of stories that we'd like to see told do ever see buying something bigger like The New York Times for example? Is it for sale? It could be for you

31:32 So, there it is. She bought it with her philanthropy and with their investments and with their contacts to set cultural narrative. And Applebaum I'm sure they're all hanging out at the tea table. Hey hey! I know what you got. I got a great idea Lauren. I've got a great idea." So then the mainstream, the M5M comes into into play, they've all got the memo. They've all got the message. Yep! This is it. We played some of it on the last episode. It was insane, the comparisons before the rally even took place Before it even took place...it was just everyone off-off the hook

CHAPTER 08 / 48 Discussion

Mika Brzezinski The View Appearance, Normalization Warning

Mika Brzezinski appeared on "The View" to deliver a warning about the "normalization" of Donald Trump's rhetoric, which she characterized as a descent into fascism. She cited his comments on the military and January 6th as evidence of a threat to democracy. The hosts critique her performance as overly dramatic and reference her father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, noting his historical role in American foreign policy.

mika brzezinski· the view· fascism· normalization· zbigniew brzezinski

32:07 And I mean seriously, and it's not even really the same venue. It's called the same thing but the Madison Square Gardens of today was actually opened in 1968. Oh that's interesting. The other place was not even there now someplace else Which makes it funnier. So I have a series of NPR clips that are just, I have to play because they're not to be believed but I need to start with... Morning Joe they've been all over this they've been saying he's Hitler since 2015 But then Mika shows up on The View and she has a rehearsed bit which is just... I mean, she's a mental patient. Mental Mika! It was pathetic Oh you've seen this? Oh yeah

32:56 I think it was everything that you need to know about Donald Trump in one weird white nationalist Nazi type rally. And of course there's historic parallels to where and when this happens, but even more so it also points out Everything that we know but it's important to act on right now because this is the moment and we won't have it again Nobody gets a pass trashing America. Yeah, Puerto Rican Americans nobody gets a pass Degrading people so I'm sure Joe was like Mika This is your nobody gets a pass speech its beautiful It's beautiful baby you go do it on the view nobody gets a pass

33:37 degrading legal migrants and terrorizing people. Nobody gets a pass threatening his enemies with using the military against them, nobody gets a pass on inciting an insurrection, nobody gets a pass on saying he fancies Hitler and wants to have generals like his. They fancy Hitler! For those who don't know Mika is Mika Brzezinski daughter of famous Brzezinski who was probably one of the biggest warmongers in our history. Afghanistan... He's a foreign policy wonk that worked under the Carter administration and others, and he was from Eastern Europe and hated the Russians

He really would love to have seen World War three Nobody gets a pass on Insulting veterans and saying those who died for our country I mean, I think she missed the very fine people there but she had everything else are suckers and losers except for convicted felon Donald Trump. And guys, here's the warning you all have set it up but let me take it a step further please if I may. This is called normalization. Remember this word normalization? It's very dangerous this is called... John in case you didn't know this is called

35:03 normalization. This is called normalization, yes? This is the descent into fascism if we so choose. Normalizing January 6th it's a day of love today I'll say again and again and again. Normalizing enemy from within I'll say it again and again until you get tired until it's not so funny anymore or you think he doesn't mean it until you realize he does mean and its too late. Too late! Now wait, now she is going to wind up by talking about herself and her poor parents...her poor parents

NPR On The Media, 1939 Nazi Rally Comparison

NPR's "On the Media" aired a segment comparing Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 pro-Nazi event held at a previous iteration of the venue. Host Brooke Gladstone used historical audio to draw parallels between past "Aryan" rhetoric and modern nationalistic speeches by figures like Stephen Miller. The hosts dispute the comparison, noting that the current Madison Square Garden is a different physical location built in 1968.

npr· brook gladstone· madison square garden· 1939 rally· stephen miller

36:32 So now NPR, and this just blew me away. The setup clip is a little long the rest are quite short so on the media Brook Gladstone she had Jason Stanley on the show and she will introduce his credits in a moment but I did not want to withhold the set up pay attention to the music Someone should get a some kind of award for the music with her.

37:07 her opening about this horrible, horrible man of Hitler. On Sunday Donald Trump hosted a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York prompting critics to compare the event to another one in the same place many years ago No it's not the same place! It was not the same place! Fake news! Fact check false In 1939 more than 20 000 supporters of a different fascist leader Adolf Hitler Pax the garden for a so-called pro America rally mind you this is NPR your national public radio Use the word do do the usages here a different fascist leader. Oh, yeah

37:49 It's too delicious to believe. Implying, of course that Trump is a fascist leader? Oh they're gonna straight-up say it don't worry. Packed the garden for so called pro America rally A rally where speakers voiced anti semitic rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners Those speeches in New York drew chilling attention to the ways in which American policy had inspired the Führer American lawmakers generations ago Promulgated laws forbidding intermarriage. I love this, so to set your tone they bring out this old speech you know like these are American Nazis oh no! White and black yellow brown and red inhabitants it has been always been very much... What?

38:34 The guy sounds Irish. Hey, mine be. ...American wherever a race problem became acute to instinctively attempt to create legislation designed to protect the Aryan character of this nation... At Sunday night's rally at the Garden Trump and his allies untempered and unbound traded in racist tropes... Untempered and unbound! Nationalistic rhetoric to an eager crowd warned warmed up by the insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe. I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now yeah i think it's called Puerto Rico The lineup included Tucker Carlson Elon Musk RFK Jr Rudy Giuliani and the irresolutely jingoistic Stephen Miller America is for Americans and Americans only! And then of course the main attraction

39:29 is now an occupied country but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. Not gonna be happening, not gonna be happening." Okay so and just everything is a beautiful setup So now she brings in the professor they always bring these professors- This is by the way what you're playing is absolutely shameful Oh we're only getting started She brings in a professor People, by the way people who send their money to NPR should be sending it to us. Yes so Jason Stanley is going to introduce some new concepts to us some new terms and he is going to explain the fascism of Trump

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Jason Stanley Yale Professor, Christian Fascism Theory

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley discussed his theories on "Christian fascism" and the "federalizing" of Jim Crow-style policies. He argued that the targeting of immigrants and LGBTQ individuals is a hallmark of fascist movements intended to maintain the dominance of a specific group. Stanley also claimed that the Supreme Court has been altered to serve as a vehicle for far-right policy.

jason stanley· yale university· fascism· christian fascism· jim crow

40:20 His credits will be mentioned in the intro here in the past few weeks there seemed to come a tipping point where? speeches became increasingly specific about the vengeance he'd wreak against his enemy those who had hesitated The music is terrible. No, it's great! ...against his enemies and even those who had hesitated were now applying the word fascist... Fascists! ...to the GOP nominee Even those who hesitated On last week show we aired an interview with Jason Stanley a professor of philosophy at Yale University Who has used the F-word to describe Trump early and often Professor of philosophy Now what does a

41:09 Does a professor of philosophy, is he then an expert in fascism? Well that's the funny thing you should ask that because fascism was kind of philosophically bound to certain philosophers. So I think it's a stretch but not a bad one Let's listen to the good professor Trump early and often I've been sort of involved in the let's call it fascism wars since my 2018 book when i talked about how much the rhetoric we're seeing is just very clearly fascist rhetoric. So Trump has been called authoritarian, dangerous for democracy for a long time what has he done or said or implied that advances him from a threat to democracy to a fascist?

42:00 Yeah, I think focusing on Trump is a mistake because it's really the whole fascist social and political movement. And that's why the history of the United States is so vital rather than looking at Europe where we did have figures like Mussolini and Hitler. We need to look at the whole structure for example Langston Hughes in 1937 said black Americans don't need to be told about fascism It's just a European word for Jim Crow But now we have a much more European structure with the fascist leader of the fascist social and political movement, kind of Christian fascism here. There we go!

42:38 We have another atheist speaking up. Christian fascism, oh it's good! What are the stepping stones? What are the stepping stones what is happening now that so alarms you well you're looking at the targets of fascism immigrants LGBTQ people, which were central targets of the Nazi party. Gender fluidity is an enemy of fascism because fascism is about making sure that dominant group remains numerically the largest group and women are there to bear children so the idea of trans women as antithetical to the central role, the identity of women in fascist ideology on the federal level you've already seen- Isn't this great?

43:24 Is this guy just making it up as he's going along? No. Gender ideology is somehow now tied up in this whole thing Oh, oh yeah you can't have trans women because... So this guy is basically a genderist Well well... See in project 2025 and elsewhere There it is Trump has been clear that they want to remove federal funding from school districts unless they use immutable gender categories so all children born male must be referred to with male pronouns. Oh, the humanity pronoun nut! Oh the humanity and of course you know this proof that this is happening I mean just take a look at it And we're already seeing that here The Supreme Court has been altered so its just a vehicle for far right policy at this point and for Trump

44:14 Oh, it's been altered. By the way, Democrat senators also voted for these Supreme Court justices we seem to forget that like Trump just said get in there. Get in there! Now back to- And it hasn't been altered any more so than its ever been altered by changing justices when one quits and another one gets put in Now we go to the normalization bit. This is a 911 call, those who are refusing the label of fascism are normalizing what we're seeing Do you hear a narrative here? This normalization he got the memo He got the memo Are normalizing what were seeing because the impact of saying this is not fascism

44:58 That impact on listeners is, okay we really don't need to worry much. This is politics as usual. This is not politics as usual. That's not to say that these forces haven't always been here in the United States. There's another way of looking at it just where this is sort of a victory of whatever the Jim Crow South has transformed into and I think There's widespread agreement that this is the federalizing of what's happening in states like Texas now. In the black American tradition, you call those forces racial fascism. Racial fascist? I don't know what-I don't know what i am now! I'm a racial christian nationalist fascists You know these guys and this Jim Crow meme nobody knows what they're talking about This is elitist bull crap Well it's NPR Elitist Voices

Democracy as Sharing, Brooke Gladstone Definition

NPR host Brooke Gladstone defined democracy as "sharing," specifically regarding public goods like schools and infrastructure. This definition is criticized by the hosts as being closer to communalism or socialism than a constitutional republic. The segment explores the ideological divide between government-mandated "sharing" and the concept of self-help and individual property rights.

brook gladstone· democracy· sharing· communism· public schools

45:50 Okay, why are people voting for Trump? I mean if he's so fascist this is not good. So let's consider Why people vote for Trump some say it's because he'll solve structural problems within American democracy Yeah Do you think that people who vote for Trump Do it because of or despite his fascist leanings? There is a large level... Wow! What a leading question. Isn't it great?! Are you still beating your wife, come on yes or no? His fascist leanings. There is a large literature on what makes people vote for authoritarians or strongmen and Ruth Ben-Gillis term, the authoritarian personality work by Adorno and coauthors published in early 1950s. Oh he's got facts John I'm a little intimidated all about this the authoritarian personality being someone who leans towards

46:47 voting for fascist leaders. They even came up with something called the F scale, the fascism scale for measuring this and the features are things like being raised in a patriarchal family because patriarchy is very central for fascism and the whole idea of... Hold on a sec! If you're raised in a patriarchal family ie you got a dad you got a mom Then you're pretty much on track to be a fascist. Is that what I'm hearing? Yes, exactly what you hear, Emily because patriarchy is very central for fascism and the whole idea of decline is connected with feminism My country goes downhill if women stop having babies and start taking leadership roles No! Of course we can't have women in leadership roles. I got it now This is by the way

47:35 Before I forget, this is leading to the bonus clip. Oh good! Good good...I have the bonus clip. I'm almost done a couple of moments that these are sure keep going so short time enjoying this believe me okay so now this guy who's obviously a genderist yeah who is gay there's no question and then gay atheist he's setting back the gay agenda up against age oh he's a gayst let me put that is it gaytheists I think Gathias is an interesting show title. But it's really, it's not just Trump. It's going to roll everybody up in here and Brooke has a very interesting observation here about democracy

48:20 Now, just to remind everybody we live in a constitutional republic. We have representative government but our democracy and she's actually going to explain what she believes democracy is in very short clip I mean that's why we have to recognize that this isn't just about Trump This is a social and political movement of Christofascism if you will and libertarians What is Christofascism? Christian. Okay, and libertarians who want the government to be essentially eliminated. Libertarians are fascists. The libertarians of all the people that call fascist libertarians and libertarians who want the government to be essentially eliminated so they can have full power and not be constrained by essentially working class Americans. So now there's one

49:19 government hate... anarchists. Somehow libertarians are anarchists is what he said Now Brooke is going to expand on this very short so just listen 18 seconds What democracy really is? Working-class Americans So they don't have to share I mean isn't that what it's about Yes, It's about sharing because democracy is about sharing Whaaat? What? Democracy is about sharing, John. Listen! It's about sharing... This is the real basic breakdown between the left and the right which is one side wants

49:58 sharing communalist communist and socialism and they want government control which is forced sharing you'd be forced to share his gig your money on the given this guy as opposed to self-help yeah which is the other side of that equation here we go it's about sharing because democracy is about sharing democracy is the idea that its are country together work together to have public goods like public schools which are under attack by this social and political movement. Arbeit macht frei! And by the way, there is nothing about democracy in public schools... There's no connection I don't get this Well there is the if you listen to whole interview he talks about how incredibly important it is that we keep

50:44 the Department of Education so it can continue to indoctrinate the children into sharing, into the concept that democracy is sharing. I mean this is very infantile speak but its propaganda. Democracy is about sharing! Don't you want to share Jimmy? Come on Johnny don't you wanna share with Adam? We share and we all like to work together Then we work according to what we can do and we all have equal outcomes. It sounds fantastic, yes? According to his needs. There you go marks from each according to his abilities that is not democracy that is communism Yes two more here now of course he doesn't mention podcasts but it's kind of in here but really the media I mean especially

Local Radio Consolidation, Sinclair and Soros

The discussion touches on the acquisition of local media outlets by large conglomerates like Sinclair and the recent moves by George Soros to purchase radio stations. Critics on NPR suggest that the destruction of local media leads to a lack of trust and the rise of conspiracy theories. The hosts point out the irony of NPR's framing while ignoring the influence of left-leaning billionaires in the same industry.

sinclair· george soros· local media· radio consolidation· conspiracy theories

51:38 local radio and just radio, I mean television, radio. They're doing it! We have the destruction of local media by being bought up by these in case of Sinclair or far-right media conglomerates And a lot of local radio has been bought up by uh i guess you would call Christian fascists. Yes, yes! And that's not local media. What about Soros? I know it was like no mention of Soros buying all the radio stations obviously i'm not going to say that because we know that that's bullcrap too. Yes and that's not local media. People will simply cease to trust media and that environment as we know combined with social media results in conspiracy theories having Ferrari

52:24 engines. Oh, conspiracy theories with Ferrari engines and then he wraps it all up by crazily enough saying... Well hold on a second so that was the best he could do for a metaphor? Conspiracies which have nothing to do with automobiles or anything with Ferrari engines and this is like um this is lame this guy! He's not good. He's a gay theist, what do you expect? Now he is going to wrap it up by saying but it's really not fascism. People get bogged down in these kind of irrelevant details What we have is far right authoritarianism that targets the same targets Hitler did and the people who are like okay shouldn't call it fascists

53:15 fully agree that this movement has all the dangers of fascism. So I use the term fascism because we don't have another word for something that looks so much like fascism, everyone agrees even in the fascist debate and what were facing is very dangerous. Money shot! We don't have a word for it? Someone just use fascism! Come on NPR you're out of control I know, I know. So that brings me to a clip...I actually would rather play a couple other things before I get to the Cuban clip which is more crap from these people this is campaign about the DC speech PBS I would this is uh um this is

CHAPTER 13 / 48 Discussion

Kamala Harris Ellipse Speech, Closing Arguments

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her closing campaign arguments at The Ellipse in Washington, D.C., the same site as the January 6th rally. She framed Donald Trump as a "wannabe dictator" and a threat to the nation's foundational ideas. The hosts describe the speech as "vapid" and note that it was largely overshadowed in the news cycle by Joe Biden's "garbage" comment.

kamala harris· the ellipse· washington dc· 2024 election· democracy

54:07 Right PBS not NPR. I got in PR stuff to us yes, I got NPR into garbage I saw have four clips here you probably play the just so we get it straight voices of America this is NPR or PbS which is very slanted is It's really pathetic actually. But here they're talking about, they're wrapping the campaign we only got five days left and so we're gonna talk about the DC speech that Kamala, all this great speech she gave, the one that was undercut by Biden's garbage comments... No one is talking about her DC speech! But PBS is! Oh yeah of course. Meanwhile Vice President Kamala Harris made her case in North Carolina's capital Raleigh

54:56 We have just six days left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime. And we have work to do! In Washington, D.C., last night a crowd and the tens of thousands gathered to see Harris deliver her closing arguments on the White House Ellipse lawn — the same place Trump gave his infamous January 6th speech. We know who Donald Trump is. He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a... Wait a minute, they were armed with appeal-to-heaven flags? Is she doing this on The Mall? She's doing it. Yeah it's called The Ellipse I think Oh! The Ellipse yes

55:52 Harris painted Trump as a threat to democracy and vowed to represent all Americans. These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. A nation big enough to encompass all our dreams, strong enough to withstand any fracture or fissure between us

56:31 fearless enough to imagine a future of possibilities. So America, let us reach for that future. Vapid. Wasn't democracy fragile? I don't know, but I don't know so they gave that's kind of a best they could do by pulling what they could pull. It's inspirational it reminds me a bit of Martin Luther King. She's screaming at the top of her lungs where is the joy yeah so did so they continue to report and then they give that

PBS Election Coverage, Trump and Biden Rhetoric

PBS NewsHour reported on the final days of the 2024 election, highlighting the "garbage" controversy and the rhetoric used by both campaigns. The report included clips of Tim Walz warning against a "dark" future under Trump, while J.D. Vance argued that Harris and Biden should be ashamed of their insults toward voters. The hosts criticize PBS for what they perceive as a clear anti-Trump slant in their framing.

pbs· donald trump· joe biden· tim walz· jd vance

57:10 They talk, not talking about Trump's campaign where he is and you can tell me you can't hear the slant this anti-Trump slant from PBS. And I will say to people out there if you're donating to this PBS operation in any way shape or form stop it! And give it to us Exactly. Trump made his closing arguments with a large rally at New York's Madison Square Garden last Sunday, an event later criticized for racist and sexist rhetoric throughout, including a comedian calling Puerto Rico a quote floating island of garbage. Trump responded to the criticism last night on Fox. They put a comedian in which everybody does you throw comedians in? You don't vet them and go crazy is nobody's fault

57:57 But somebody said some bad things. President Biden also weighed in on a Zoom call with Latino supporters last night. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his demonization of Latinos in an unconscionable way. Wow! Wow. I'm sure that adds to the context, yeah? I'm sure he's not only talking about kill Tony at that point at that point is clearly talking about Trump Yeah There was one little addition at the end of the demonization He had another look once you back it up see me play that again call with Latino supporters last night The only garbage I see floating out there as his supporters His demonization seen as unconscionable and its own American

58:55 His demonization of things is unconscionable. So it wasn't just about Tony demonizing Puerto Rico, which he wasn't so yeah there you go so yes Scott Adams should listen to everything in context Later clarifying he was referring to the comedian's rhetoric not Trump voters Good try And by the way Harris Stop When did we ever hear Biden say any of this clarification stuff? This is all came from John Pierre Van Damme. She wrote it! She just wrote a statement, but he didn't say anything He didn't say anything and never apologized Did you see him at the Halloween party No Oh so

59:38 Firstly comes out with the giant panda. So it wasn't the Easter Bunny this time is a giant panda Well, the Easter Bunny scares him so the Panda is handling him he's pointing out Over there and he goes huh, and he walks over. It's a pandler a literal pandler handler We're coming up with a million of them today it's a pandler And then you know like oh look at this cute baby, and it goes up any boys biting the baby Oh yeah bites the baby and then another baby bit the other baby to be two babies I mean He didn't get enough for lunch. I mean come on Joe his demonization scene is unconscionable, and it's un-american

1:00:18 Later clarifying he was referring to the comedian's rhetoric, not Trump voters. Today Harris distanced herself from his remarks. First of all he clarified his comments but let me be clear I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for And as president of the United States, I will be a precedent for all Americans whether you vote for me or not. A running mate Governor Tim Walz echoed that message in Charlotte North Carolina We can choose a path that includes everyone that is hopeful it adheres to the American values Or we can get dark

1:00:56 dark negative and sink into a place that's all about one person, Donald Trump. That's the choice. But the Trump campaign pounced with Senator J.D. Vance saying Harris and Biden should be ashamed of themselves. That too comes in the context of a pattern of coarse and insulting language from Trump. Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way. We can't stand you, your ass! including these remarks today about Democrats. It's the most corrupt, horrible people! These are horrible people! Oops we should get along with everybody they're horrible people! So there is a little angle difference there between those two? Yeah of course Of course Well let's go to NPR this is NPR in the garbage remark Okay Just the other day I'm sorry

Jeff Bezos Podcast Comments, Media Credibility Crisis

Jeff Bezos published an op-ed addressing the lack of credibility in traditional newspapers like The Washington Post, noting that many people are turning to "off-the-cuff" podcasts for information. The hosts discuss the rise of citizen journalism and the decline of legacy media. They also reference Dan Gillmor's work on the subject, noting the shift from professional journalism to activist-led reporting.

jeff bezos· washington post· podcasts· citizen journalism· dan gillmor

1:01:55 Wait, NPR Garb- Oh I got it. His rally today was mostly pretty standard for Trump he talked about his plan to do mass deportations he also talked about inflation but also as you mentioned there he really railed against this comment that President Biden made Tuesday night. Biden had been talking about Trump's Sunday Madison Square Garden rally where at that rally a comedian referred to Puerto Rico as a quote floating island of garbage Biden in talking about this stuff. That is just in general, it's this is very dishonest reporting you should say a comedian made a joke where the Puerto Rico was the brunt of a joke but to say he referred to Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage not only that but it's both this report and the other one if you noticed they said quote

1:02:52 Oh, interesting. A floating island of garbage. Oh, interesting... Biden, in talking about this stumbled over his words and it momentarily sounded like he was calling Trump supporters garbage. Okay so you have this comment from Biden and you have a series of racist and misogynist comments from that New York rally tell us how Trump addressed all of that today did he? So okay I've seen your head on the said this is still more code from Biden Wow these people are all

1:03:27 They're gonna be out of a job. Podcasting is taking over. Jeff Bezos said it! Did you see Jeff Bezos? He said, oh our problem is these podcasters No, you have to get that clip. No no it's not a clip! Lack of credibility isn't unique to the Post our brethren newspapers have the same issue and it's a problem not only for the media but also for the nation many people are turning to off-the-cuff podcasts Off The Cuffs? So there is just no work involved? No no just sitting down just yapping

1:04:05 inaccurate social media posts and other unverified news sources which can quickly spread misinformation and deepen division. It's our fault! Off the cuff, you!" You know what's interesting about that quote and others? Especially the stuff you see on Macedon... And I'll point a finger at Dan Gilmore who is one of these reporters... Well ex-reporter but I don't know what he's doing now but he was a professor at University Arizona for Arizona State, one of the two. Arizona State for a while teaching all that we had to be activists as journalists. We shouldn't be balancing anything but then they're condemning like Twitter and they're condemning podcasting... Meanwhile Gilmore's the guy who wrote a book about citizen journalism which is exactly what this is! Sources go direct

1:05:04 Citizen journalism is Twitter. Yeah, but okay it's all bad now and now that it's turning on him Okay this NPR in garbage too and this then I get what did I have to Cuban club? And I'm done. All right. I'm excited Okay well despite trying to draw attention to Biden's comments Trump has still about women, about Latinos as a whole. Plus Tucker Carlson told the crowd that leaders political leaders are trying to replace American voters which is a reference to the racist great replacement theory at any rate Trump is doing this very broad cleanup he has called the New York rally a love fest and at a rally in Pennsylvania last night he said quote nobody loves our Latino community and our Puerto Rican community more than I do Wow! He's so bad

Mark Cuban The View, Strong Women Comments

Mark Cuban appeared on "The View" and claimed that Donald Trump is never seen around "strong, intelligent women." This prompted a sharp rebuttal from Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany, who listed numerous women who served in high-level roles in the Trump administration, including Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Sanders. The hosts dismiss Cuban's comments as offensive and politically motivated.

mark cuban· the view· kayleigh mcenany· ivanka trump· sarah sanders

1:06:09 So I caught this on this morning's Outnumbered, a Fox show where Kaylee McEnany played and it starts off with Mark Cuban on the view And he's not actually on The View, he's calling in. So it's like a remote and I don't understand why they couldn't do the show or they wouldn't bring him in? Or they just had to have him on? I don't know what the deal is with this. There was a Zoom call on The View and Mark Cuban condemning Trump women

1:06:45 And then this is followed immediately by Kayleigh just being personally offended and going nuts. And here we go. Donald Trump, you never see him around strong intelligent women ever! It's just that simple. They're intimidating to him, he doesn't like to be challenged by them. Mark Cuban okay I had to take a breath before this because this is so profoundly offensive! I worked for Donald Trump i consider myself a strong woman i consider those around me strong women Kellyanne Conway Brooke Rollins Ivanka Trump Hope Hicks Sarah Sanders we

1:07:39 not Biden, excuse me Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban. That is misogynistic in my view get out of here Mark Cuban Kamala Harris he's your surrogate I want to hear from you do you agree the women are weak and ineffective whatever he said get out of here and i can't wait to hear from you Kamala. The woman scorned like mark cube who cares about mark cuban who cares about any of these people? He said nudnik. I don't really care about anybody but John C Dvorak

Colorado Voting Machine Password Leak, Jena Griswold

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold is facing calls for resignation after it was revealed that a spreadsheet containing partial passwords for voting machines was publicly accessible on her office's website for months. While Griswold maintains the leak did not pose an immediate security threat due to "layers of security," Republican lawmakers have criticized her for incompetence. The discussion also covers the prevalence of paper ballots in the 2024 election.

1:08:27 Yeah, what you say matters.

1:09:46 If you go back to paper ballots and it's watermarked, you know paper is now very sophisticated believe it or not. In fact the vast majority over 97% of votes cast in this election will be recorded on paper The head official in charge of US cybersecurity and infrastructure told the NewsHour recently Gotta remember, election infrastructure. The voting systems where Americans cast their ballots not connected to the internet so very difficult for somebody to hack into those voting machines Secondly over 97% paper ballots that voters can look at and verify themselves Yes I should This is a lot Well hold on Hold on hold on I should clarify it was a paper ballot I filled it in with a pen

1:10:34 But it then goes into the ballot scanner and that's where, and I don't know if anyone else has it. When you put it in and it sucks it in and then I'm waiting for a receipt! That's your immediate feeling like oh shouldn't I have a receipt? This shows that this is what I voted for because I don't know what this machine has now registered Yeah, exactly. So that's not... is that a paper ballot? Does that count as a paper ballot? A paper ballot to me is something you fill out and then it goes into a pile and somebody hand counts it. Well they keep the paper ballot. That's the point. Is that if there is an issue then we can go back and count the paper ballots. Like when you use the Dominion system- That's no paper ballot. It coughs out a paper ballot when you're done with the barcode on it because you can't read!

1:11:24 No, I know. This is a bull crap comment! Yes well you're in the part of the 3% it's California and there were some issues with the Colorado voting machines which were not very... this is that Colorado thinks she's Secretary of State she was the nutjob with Trump derangement syndrome do you remember her? Yeah yeah forget what she was all What she had her panties in a bunch about but now now she's calling for her resignation! spreadsheet that anyone could download from the Secretary of State's website.

1:12:23 I understand what's going on and i know that it has a two-factor authentication with the second password which is probably a general password but they're calling it partial passwords because that makes me feel good. Only partial passwords were exposed so she says it didn't pose an immediate security threat to Colorado elections Colorado's elections have layers of security. Layers? So you actually need two passwords and physical access to voting equipment, uh to use those... To use the passwords for them to be worth anything A civil servant who hid the tabs on that spreadsheet is no longer with the department Is dead

1:13:03 Secretary Griswold says the passwords were online for months before her office was notified last Thursday. Republicans are demanding she resign state minority leader Rose Puglisi released these statements on behalf of Colorado House Republicans saying quote, while I have the utmost trust in the integrity of our county clerks who actually oversee the counting of votes, I have no trust that secretary Griswold is capable of leading our election system enough of her incompetence it's time for her to resign Get rid of her. She needs to go, needs to go. So the couple other issues we have a little more information about the ballot box that was lit on fire. We want to turn now to the FBI investigation into a suspected arson attack on ballot drop boxes

CHAPTER 18 / 48 Discussion

Ballot Box Arson, Free Gaza Markings

The FBI is investigating arson attacks on ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state. Incendiary devices used in the attacks were reportedly marked with the words "Free Gaza." Investigators are searching for a male suspect driving a dark-colored Volvo sedan. Hundreds of ballots were destroyed in Clark County, Washington, leading to concerns about election interference.

fbi· arson· ballot boxes· free gaza· clark county

1:13:50 one in Oregon and one in Washington state. A law enforcement source confirms the incendiary devices used in the sabotage were marked with the words, free Gaza. Well tonight police warn suspect may strike again CBS's Nicole Skanga is here with some new developments all right what have you learned from your reporting? Isn't that interesting so it was some some anarchist leftist socialist nutjob who did this and we're not outraged? No, no. Nora investigators are still searching for a motive in these ballot box fires but a law enforcement source tells CBS News it's still unclear whether the suspect here is a pro-Palestinian sympathizer or just trying to stoke controversy

1:14:30 This is what's left of hundreds of burnt ballots inside a drop box in Clark County, Washington. An election official said an unknown number of other ballots were destroyed. The FBI has taken both incendiary devices to their laboratory in Huntsville Alabama for forensic analysis and are still searching for a male suspect who was driving this dark colored Volvo sedan. A Volvo! This should be easy. Anyway... Those damn Volvo guys! I'm telling you, but the rhetoric is being cranked up and well we're back to old hijinks people are stealing lawn signs it's an outrage but oh

CHAPTER 19 / 48 Discussion

Campaign Lawn Sign Theft, AirTags and Glitter

Reuters reported on the increasing frequency of campaign lawn sign thefts and the creative ways voters are fighting back. Some individuals have hidden Apple AirTags in their signs to track thieves to their homes, while others have smeared signs with Vaseline and glitter to deter handling. The report suggests that for some, the theft of a $20 sign feels like a form of voter intimidation.

lawn signs· apple airtags· glitter· theft· voter intimidation

1:15:19 There's some tips from Reuters if someone is trying to steal your Kamala Harris lawn sign. The fight for votes is raging not just in battleground states, but also across the front lawns of America. Oh no! Many voters have recently reported their campaign lawn signs being stolen and they're going great lengths to fight back Isn't this something that has been done for a hundred years? people stealing lawn signs, putting other lawn signs in. Isn't this... I mean have we not heard this for five cycles that this happens? I'm asking you it's not rhetorical. I don't know when lawn signs even began and i don't pay any attention to them but uh But this this yeah I would assume that people were

1:16:04 defacing, removing, replacing lawn signs since the Ed Lai Stevenson days. Didn't a Trump guy I'm recalling that he electrified his lawn sign? Well there's a guy who electrified my favorite one though was somebody had placed they there's all bunch of YouTube and TikTok videos of this these gags somebody had put a bunch of like bungie spikes Over on a lawn sign wasn't on lawn, but it's on the side of the road so you could easily and some guy did, drive over and knock the sign over with your car and then get back on the road easily enough. But you'd get a flat tire doing it. All right so listen to this... I think it's one of those election year irritants like those spam fundraising text messages you get or the attack ads you see on TV all the time that people I've talked to said not only is

1:17:00 theft, you're stealing something from somebody. But also you're suppressing their free speech and to certain people it can feel a bit like voter intimidation." How are these frustrated folks fighting back? Here we go! The most ingenious way to prevent this from happening or at least catch the thief is the use of Apple AirTags I spoke to two people who did that. They had their signs taken, then they put one of those little tracking devices on there and when their sign got stolen both of them said well they could see it travel around in a car as the car went to a house and so then they can call the police and the police can show up and say did you take this is this not yours?

1:17:37 Whereas otherwise it can be very difficult to prosecute. Police are not going to spend a lot of time on something like this when the theft is an item that typically costs 20 bucks or so and then on top of that there's the more low-tech solutions people say Common way to protect your signs is just smear them with Vaseline and glitter. That way the thief touches the sign, they get glitter and goop all over their hands and evidently it's very hard to get glitter off your hands." Oh my! How about some C5 in a remote control? C4 I don't know what c5 is... You know why do I keep-I always say C5. I think has something to do with that Lockheed Jet maybe. Oh yeah uh C4

1:18:17 And so while this is going on... Semtex, Semtex. Well all this is going on Rachel Maddow was still on MSNBC and she rolls out creaky Victoria Newland Russia phobe emeritus. Oh, she's the worst. The two of them together is like I'm surprised it stationed in explode. Just let us know that Vladimir Putin is doing it again! Third election in a row in which Russia has tried to interfere and try to get Trump into the White House

CHAPTER 20 / 48 Discussion

Victoria Nuland Russia Interference Claims, Elon Musk

Victoria Nuland appeared on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow to claim that Vladimir Putin is once again interfering in the U.S. election to support Donald Trump. Nuland alleged that Russia is using sophisticated AI to create fake videos and that Elon Musk's X platform is a "powerful tool" for the Kremlin. The hosts dismiss these claims as "pathetic" and lacking in concrete evidence.

1:17:37 Whereas otherwise it can be very difficult to prosecute. Police are not going to spend a lot of time on something like this when the theft is an item that typically costs 20 bucks or so and then on top of that there's the more low-tech solutions people say Common way to protect your signs is just smear them with Vaseline and glitter.

C4 I don't know what c5 is... You know why do I keep-I always say C5. I think has something to do with that Lockheed Jet maybe. Oh yeah uh C4

1:18:17 And so while this is going on... Semtex, Semtex. Well all this is going on Rachel Maddow was still on MSNBC and she rolls out creaky Victoria Newland Russia phobe emeritus. Oh, she's the worst. The two of them together is like I'm surprised it stationed in explode. Just let us know that Vladimir Putin is doing it again! Third election in a row in which Russia has tried to interfere and try to get Trump into the White House

1:18:53 How do you assess the magnitude and that type of interference they're attempting this year compared to what they've done in his previous two elections? Well, as you said earlier Rachel he's at it again. This time is not even trying to hide His hand and he has far more sophisticated tools. You know his AI is better so you can make these fake videos. His AI is so much better now, so it can make these fake videos He has done things like spend ten million dollars trying to buy American influencers Pool boy! Pool Boy! She's bringing up this old trope And get them parodying him This is great Oh she should have just said she got the pool boy

1:19:38 and Dave Rubin, and they really changed people's minds. His lines are not even know it is happening but he has also got a brand new very powerful tool which is Elon Musk and X. You know in 2020 the social media companies worked hard with the US government to try to do content moderation to try to catch this stuff as if was happening but this time we have Elon Musk talking directly to the Kremlin that every time the Russians put out something like this it gets 5 million views on X before anybody can catch it. I mean, it is just sad to see how low she has sunk! She's running with every nonsense thing thats been out Is she just reading Twitter and going yeah talk about this on Rachel's show? This is not true! Oh ok he has better AI for all... What videos?! What videos has Putin done

1:20:36 And what impact did the pool boy and Dave Rubin have? What impact... Oh yes, he's back at it again. The evil Putin! This is just pathetic. It really is pathetic I don't know what to make of it Well there is Musk... NPR is going after Musk too I guess Musk has put out some fake ads that look like Camilla ads that promote basically promote her actual ideas It's not like they're bullshit. But you can play, I have a clip of it. Yeah yeah what do you have? What do you have? Oh fake Musk ads? Yeah fake Musk Ads. Digital ad campaign backed by billionaire Elon Musk is pushing message... Elon! He's Elon! From now on the show will call him Elon. I like that this guy is reading the news about NPR and somehow believes that his name is Elon

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

Elon Musk Political Ads, Pornography Ban Parody

NPR reported on a digital ad campaign backed by Elon Musk that uses parody to highlight Kamala Harris's past policy positions, such as mandatory gun buybacks. Conversely, a Democrat-aligned PAC released a controversial ad depicting a Republican congressman entering a man's bedroom to ban pornography. The hosts discuss the legality of these ads and the historical context of free speech in adult entertainment.

elon musk· facebook ads· project 2025· larry flynt· gun buyback

1:21:33 What is that? How do you get to that point after all these years of listening about Elon, to say Elon. It just befuddles me Maybe he was doing the lawn sign story and he's still stuck in it. Elon sign, Elon! Elon! Oh, Elon! Digital ad campaign backed by billionaire Elon Musk is pushing messages that are intended to look like they're from Vice President Harris. Sen. P.R.'s Bobby Allen explains the ads make false claims about Harris A series of political ads appearing on Facebook falsely say Kamala Harris wants to institute a mandatory gun buyback program and make it easier for undocumented immigrants to receive their driver's license

1:22:16 They are from a group called Building America's Future. Do you want me to stop the clip so you can complain about that? I'm just saying, okay...I'm sorry and you're right but i just want to mention that what Ilan has produced here is actually part of her policy from the 2019-2020 era There's no evidence that she has changed it. No, Elon. Musk has spent more than $100 million bankrolling a Trump campaign field operation. He appears at Trump rallies and he's expected to have a role in the White House if Trump is elected. The billionaire has also turned his social media platform X into a powerful pro-Trump machine, where he has been amplifying misleading information about the integrity of the US voting system. The Washington Post recently called Musk a human October surprise

1:23:24 Well, meanwhile the actual ads from the Democrats are interesting. You've seen this one of the guy who's watching porn on his phone and jerking off in his bedroom? I have not seen...I've heard about that one. The one i've seen where the guys wink at each other and they vote for Harris or there two lesbians wink at each other until their husbands How do you know they're lesbians? They're not lesbians. You can tell by the way they are looking at each other, they are lesbians! No that ad is about...you don't have to vote who your husband tells you to vote for I know what the ads supposed to be about but what i'm seeing when I look at it is two lesbians Do you have gaydar now all of sudden? I've always said in the Bay Area you have to have Gaydar otherwise you get hurt

1:24:19 Alright, so the guy's in his bedroom jerking off. Sorry you can't do that What the hell man? How'd you get in here?! I'm your Republican congressman and now that we're in charge We're banning porn nationwide You can't tell me what to do! Get out of my bedroom you creep! I won the last election So it was my decision...I'm just gonna watch And make sure you don't finish illegally Yeah. Wow, that sounds like one of the... That sounds like a Roger Stone gambit there! Well but it's not I mean project 2025- What idiot would put what moron would put that ad out? Some pack

1:25:08 Well, they're not working for anything. The porn pack! There's a porn pack out there who are very worried that Trump will implement Project 2025 vision of making porn illegal which I'm pretty sure what's the guy's name? Larry Flint did a very good and in a way admirable job of proving that that will not happen it's free speech whatever you want I mean in general. He was the porn king and he fought it his whole life! Well, I have not seen that particular ad... It's pretty bad. It is really bad! Pretty bad? Well, he's a Democrat jerking off what else is new so... Hey-oh! So you want to hear one of the emails that are going around that family members are sending each other about what's going to happen during this election

CHAPTER 22 / 48 Discussion

Election Shutdown Conspiracy Email, FEMA Camps

A viral family email forward outlines a series of extreme conspiracy theories regarding the 2024 election, including a predicted "three days of darkness," martial law, and the destruction of iconic buildings like the White House and the Vatican. The email claims that international military forces will cart people off to FEMA camps and that recent hurricanes were used to hide secret lithium mining operations. The hosts present this as an example of "off the deep end" rhetoric from the far right.

conspiracy theories· martial law· fema camps· three days of darkness· lithium mining

1:26:08 Oh, this is now are we gonna be returning to the nuttiness of the right? Well yeah but yes I think we should. Which is what I would... Yeah! I love this stuff. And so and this is one of our producers- This one where they're going shut down the grid. Oh man. So uh this is from someone's aunt and she sent it to the whole family although not too um she didn't send it to She even mentions it here, I forget. I took some of this out because you know he said never to email me again so he's not on the email list. He's never on the email list! So there's always an October surprise during election years and we are running out of time below is the expected schedule of events although order may not be 100 percent print this now while you're thinking about it you won't have access once things begin and you will wish you had it for basic knowledge to lessen the trauma we will all feel

1:27:04 Once things start, everything will move along quickly. Any wars alien invasion pandemic or plague you hear on the news is all a lie! Try to stay positive and calm as possible emotional tension will be beyond anything imaginable as Bette Davis once said in a movie fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy ride Um, the countdown to release The Kraken is underway. Don't think... Oh we're back on The Kraken? Yeah! Didn't think they would play it out this far but here we are. Oh yeah Lee and Megan still not copied per Lee's instructions for me to never email him again leaving it to his family to communicate or not anticipated event schedule and this is a family email seven messages before shutdown following instructions for having supplies in returning home of traveling

1:27:55 You need to prep with food, water, toilet paper and other supplies. Have gas for generators full tank of gas in each vehicle you own in case you need extra gas for generators if you have any or for some other use Do you have a siphon? Wood for wood stoves and fireplaces solar generators are they charged might lose items in refrigerators or have other food options fill bathtubs with water when the messages start coming in rather than when power goes out and having buckets for pouring into toilets To use for personal hygiene spit baths Oh my god Once martial law is in place, any military scene are not going to be messed with or approached to ask what's going on. There will be a mix of international military and it'll be a totally different caliber so do as you were told! They won't be playing nice and we'll only be here to keep the peace make sure people have food and necessities if they didn't prepare help if there was a health issue

1:28:49 and to cart people off to FEMA camps who need to be picked up because they participated in crimes against humanity or treason. Do not intervene in anything they're doing, or off you go to the FEMA camps! The FEMA camps will be a rough experience and will appear... People are going to be killed." Oh man! Are these people just like a comedy act? Three days of darkness No power, no internet. We'll be on our own with only military police about At some point there may be a fake nuclear explosion that will seem real and very scary 10-18 days of lockdown after the 3 days of darkness Stay where you are, follow instructions Riot and looting are expected in some areas of the country

1:29:36 Not much different than the summer of love, the news said was mostly peaceful. Don't get involved! Disorder will be wrapped up quickly remain calm there will be no streetlights limited power turned on in our homes water will be on again as they understand but only have a few plugs working oh my I can't even read all of this how do you get a few plugs working here's my best satanic sites Mind-altering or deep underground tunnels that were created to do horrific things to adults and especially children These are iconic sites to us around the world But during the disclosure that's coming John, you will understand why they were destroyed and you will be happy Some of these have already been taken care of and there are others but these are the most iconic Evacuations have already been done or will be during the air raids. And no one will die during the destruction So these are the following iconic

1:30:29 buildings that are connected to underground tunnels for the demonic forces. They will be destroyed, the White House... The fake White House in California! The Vatican? The Ark of Baal? Augusta Germany Castle? What's the Ark of Baal?! I don't know The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. Buckingham Palace, CERN in Switzerland... Oh it says that one's already done! CIA's Bohemian Grove! Comet Pizza in Hollywood Denver International Airport Epstein Island Dome the Georgia Guidestones already taken care of the Hoover Dam the Louvre and France London Bank 1 & 2 the London Bridge

1:31:14 The Northern Castle, the Notre Dame Cathedral of France already done. Wow I didn't know that was... The London Bridge is in Arizona The original one is, yes. Yeah! The Opera House in Sydney Australia is gonna be gone the Pentagon the Playboy Mansion the Statue of Liberty Stonehenge the Tesla building the Getty Museum the Queens hunting lodge the US Capitol Now they're just being silly I'm telling you Not listed but also taken care with recent hurricanes were the Disney deep underground tunnels and North Carolina mountain flooding for the secret lithium mining that was going to be used for nefarious purposes

1:31:52 So, I could read on and on. I'll put some in the show notes. Oh you gotta send me this note? Yes! It's an actual email forward with the headers and everything. I'll send that to you but this is... And I think people like Mike Benz and Dan Bongino they're riling people up with this especially Bongino Oh yeah, oh no the rioting is coming it's gonna happen. It's gonna be like BLM on steroids you know even if the left wins it's just like crazy! It's kind of sad. Well when you start talking about the Sydney Opera House and the Statue of Liberty

1:32:40 I know. And the rest of them all being some sort of gateway to hell... Yeah, I know. It doesn't really make any sense whatsoever and the fact that you could get to the point where you actually say these things... Well, at least it balances out with the other side. So then you're going to get that nuttiness from both sides but we do this is like really off the deep end Yeah but elements of this I hear around here elements of it and yeah when it comes from like a Bongino or it comes from what's-his-name Mike Benz Or it comes from Naomi Wolf or it comes from Laura Logan You know these are the people who

1:33:21 who were also correct about certain things happening with the pandemic and with vaccines, etc. So you can understand that people... It's kind of a stretch the vaccine thing has an explanation for everything I mean it makes logical sense there is logic involved with vaccine skepticism but especially the mRNA vaccines skepticism Nothing illogic about any of the arguments for or against it, but mostly there is some illogical to the arguments for it. But this is nuts! Since you brought it up we just talked about it... There's an NHS doctor

CHAPTER 23 / 48 Discussion

Dr. James Royle Turbo Cancer Presentation, COVID Vaccines

Dr. James Royle, a cancer specialist with the UK's National Health Service, delivered a presentation regarding a significant increase in aggressive "turbo cancers" following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. He observed a rise in stage 4 colorectal cancers in younger patients and unusual metastases in the elderly. Royle called for an immediate halt to the injections, citing unprecedented safety signals in the VAERS and MHRA systems.

james royle· turbo cancer· covid-19 vaccine· colorectal cancer· vaers

1:34:11 And he works for like, you know a proper national health system hospital. He's a cancer specialist James Royal and he just did a full presentation about what he is seeing with I think he called post-COVID vaccination patients and i think i should play it and this is not to freak anybody out But it's not good. Finally, I need to talk about cancer particularly colorectal cancers in addition to the increase in all-cause excess deaths in highly vaccinated countries since the gene based injectable rollout there has been observed an alarming and significant increase in cancers these cancers have been termed colloquially turbo cancers obviously this is not a scientific term but reflects the different aggressive biological nature that seems to be being observed

1:35:04 by the public as well as clinicians. Despite recent articles claiming that the sudden growth in cancers is not new, such as a gaslighting article in The Daily Mail reporting on a baffling increase in trend and data from 1990 to 2019 there was clear dramatic increase that occurred in 2021 shortly after the rollout A robust study recently published from Japan now redacted by The Journal after significant pressure showed cancer related excess mortality of vaccinated populations Cancers being observed are in all ages. It is my assertion shared by many experts oncologists and clinical colleagues around the world that the cancers we're seeing are extremely aggressive and there are of a different biology one study showed this dramatic increase particularly in younger ages through 2021 5.6% increased 2022 7.9 percent increase I've noticed aggressive widespread recurrences

1:35:53 in previously successfully treated bowel cancer cases that I considered cured. Many metastases in these cases are unusual or atypical, middle-aged and elderly people are presenting with out of the blue aggressive stage 4 colorectal cancer who were incurable and die within weeks or months In many of these cases, the entire liver appears to be filled with large round tumour masses. It is horrific to see on a weekly basis in my MDT. In my experience it is rare for colorectal cancer to be as aggressive in elderly usually sporadic cancers that are diagnosed are still operable when they present. Elderly patients rarely present with stage 4 disease and certainly not in the way I've started seeing. Many of my multidisciplinary team colleagues, fellow surgeons, oncologists, pathologists radiologists and specialist nurses, the safety signal from both the MHRA and VAERS system in the United States is unprecedented and undeniably obvious."

1:36:43 Very dry, very boring. But you can look at the show notes and his whole 30 minute presentation is really mind blowing this not that we haven't suspected this but here's a guy who was putting his reputation on the line and he has spoken to many other doctors and they applaud him but there most of them are scared about the opportunity to give it fired to an international surgical meeting in London in March 2023. At the end I was congratulated on my perceived courage and standing up and speaking about these concerns there was general agreement in the room 30 or more surgeons many offered acknowledgement and similar observations but had been unwilling to raise their concerns for fear of repercussions, In fact

1:37:24 A rather alarmed, eminent retired surgeon present stated it was our duty to raise these concerns. In conclusion the data are clear that Covid-19 vaccines are neither effective or safe my own personal observations have been increasingly backed up by other data around the world and research studies as well as expert opinion in other centres I personally demand that these injections and any promotion of them be stopped with immediate effect So that's a bunch of people demanding this. It hasn't gone anywhere and he specifically talking for the people out there listening to this who got a shot or two, he saw about people with multiple you know I think it's up to nine shots now? You could possibly be getting the latest and greatest. And they're recommending two shots this season! Two more! Two more CDC just came out we recommend you get two shots this season

CHAPTER 24 / 48 Discussion

China Space Ambitions, Shenzhou-19 Launch

China successfully launched the Shenzhou-19 spacecraft, sending a new crew to the Tiangong Space Station for a six-month mission. The mission is part of Beijing's goal to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. NASA officials have expressed concern that China's space program is primarily military-driven and could lead to territorial claims on the lunar surface.

china· shenzhou-19· nasa· moon landing· tiangong space station

1:38:17 There's also, you know I don't have a clip and I wish i could find something. And I think I had saw something and I couldn't recover it It's hard to say where they're saying well you know the thing they're going to combine the flu shot in the covid shot Yeah Because the flu there's no way nobody's getting the flu anymore Gee what? I wonder how that works hmm I'm gonna, before we take a break remember our overall thesis is and i think we've shown some more possible evidence today with the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jean Pierre Van Damme sabotaging the Harris campaign with with the garbage comment certainly sabotaging any kind of momentum that Hitler rally had and just handed a beauty to Trump

1:39:09 There's so many people who benefit from a Trump presidency and the biggest one I think is this pivot to China, to China. And shipbuilding. And shipbuilding well also space. Space is also a big one and... Yes space would be good so that Lockheed Martin people won't be too upset It's China's latest attempt at edging closer to its goal of becoming a space superpower. Its Shenzhou-19 spacecraft is blasting off into the cosmos Wednesday, and launch authorities have hailed a triumph. The spacecraft solar panels are extended and functioning normally

1:39:45 I hereby announce the Shenzhou-19 manned spacecraft launch mission a complete success. This will be the Taikonauts' temporary home for the next six months, the Tiangong Space Station. It's here that the crew will carry out experiments intended to help China prepare for its most difficult mission yet – landing astronauts on the moon by 2030 Beijing's growing appetite for high-risk missions is increasingly making the United States uncomfortable. In April, NASA chief warned US lawmakers that Beijing wants to stake territorial claims arguing its space program is also a military one Speaking on Monday China's foreign ministry spokesperson seemed to deny such claims. China stays committed to the peaceful use of outer space and opposes an arms race in outer space or weaponizing outer space China has no intention to engage in a race with other countries

1:40:34 in space and doesn't seek to gain an edge in space. Before getting astronauts to the moon, Beijing is celebrating the milestones achieved in Wednesday's launch among its crew, the country's only female space engineer She's also one of the youngest taikonauts from China to blast off into space Somebody better land on the moon pretty quick otherwise it's gonna look like we never went there 2040 2030 2040 whatever impress me oh look I can parallel park it alright But the most, you know me. The most damning evidence that the pivot to China is on was General Milley who will whore for anybody

CHAPTER 25 / 48 Discussion

General Mark Milley, China Military Threat

General Mark Milley addressed the American Bankers Association, warning of the possibility of armed conflict with China. He noted that President Xi Jinping has instructed his military to be capable of invading Taiwan by 2027. Milley described a "multipolar world" where China seeks to become the dominant global power by 2049, necessitating a buildup of the U.S. military-industrial complex.

mark milley· china· taiwan· american bankers association· military industrial complex

1:41:20 He's a whore. Speaking at the American Bankers Association with most of the big CEOs in the room, now if you want to talk about money and how we're going to handle China and how we're going to finance the big beautiful ships and the submarine bases and everything... You want General Milley to go there? Now he didn't have his uniform on which is a little disappointing But here's what he had to say about China. There is the possibility, not the probability but the possibility of armed conflict between two great powers United States and China. China has natural resources, people population and most importantly money to challenge United States on a global scale first time in Chinese history they have now 44 years later 45 years later developed world-class military now they're not equal

1:42:13 yet to the United States military. The United States military is still the most powerful, most effective force in the world and the Chinese know that but the Chinese are trying to develop their military uh...to a point where they will be the dominant military in East Asia Western Pacific at least by the mid thirties maybe earlier President Xi has told his generals to develop the capability he didn't say was going invade but to develop the capability to invade the island of Taiwan and seize it by 2027, which is right around the corner. Now that doesn't mean he's perfect primed... Perfect! We have the economy cycle collapsing in 2026 we need to build it up what are we going to build it up with? A military industrial complex for the 2027 invasion. The ability to invade the island of Taiwan and seize it by 2027 which is right around the corner

1:43:09 Now, that doesn't mean he's going to do it. He told his guys to develop the capability And there's some symbology there because it is 2027, the 100th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army. But by mid-30s China's intent is to be the dominant military diplomatic economic power in all Asia. By mid century, by 2049... You and I will be dead by then! It's China's aspiration to be the number one global military diplomatic power

1:43:55 at least co-equal but preferably superior to the United States in terms of its economic throwaway and its military. Now will China get there or not? So the setup is here. The setup, it's primed and ready... Oh by the way

1:44:30 Russia, you know they got nukes. It's really China! Russia clearly is an acute threat and it's dangerous They obviously have a lot of nuclear weapons And they're engaged in the biggest ground war in Europe since 1945 But its really China It's not Russia, it's China. And it is more complicated we're living in a multipolar world now so you've got three great powers United States Russian and China during the Cold War we had two immediately following the Cold War it was a unipolar moment as people say so for a short period of time the United States clearly was preeminent and the only real superpower out there but today it's clear were in a multipolar world

1:45:14 really growing in a lot of different ways and it's, it's much more complex world today than it was not too long ago. China! American Bankers Association they're going for China and you know what? It still would not surprise me if Trump is talking to Xi saying listen you can rattle the sword little bit do your bit whatever Taiwan blah blah I need to build some ships I need dome I need iron dome That will be the only saving grace, I think for our economy is to have a new threat which will be China and then build new gear. What else are we going to do while we're waiting for the tariffs to kick in? Just thinking pragmatically. We make most of our money from building war gear.

CHAPTER 26 / 48 Discussion

Halloween Traditions, Trick-or-Treating in the Hill Country

The hosts discuss their personal Halloween plans, with one opting to watch "Seinfeld" in the dark to avoid trick-or-treaters. They note that in rural Texas, children are more likely to be entrepreneurs selling items than traditional trick-or-treaters. A humorous suggestion is made to give out bowls of soup or THC gummies to visitors, though the latter is quickly dismissed as a joke.

1:46:13 And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the Off The Cuff podcast. Say hello to my friend on the other end of one and only Mr John Sears! Good morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning all the ships and seaboots on the ground feeding their subs in the water all the names and nights out there Hello hello hello in the mornings Well of course we've got 1902. I can remember that means we're a hundred above our average Yeah, finally did it. Finally did it and that's because of garbage Garbage is good garbage is good for business Wouldn't you say? Garbage is doing good for us seems to be yeah Hey trolls welcome trolls are in the troll room troll room dot I do have the Halloween clips for later in the show Oh

1:47:07 Woo! I'm so excited. That's great. Well, it's Halloween you know? Yeah Do you give candy to the kids that come by? Or do they even bother. No, well first of all there's very few... I think the first year we were here we had some candy but no one comes by The kids here from way on the other side of the street they come by and selling stuff Hey! I started a new sewing company You want to buy this? They're entrepreneurs here They're not out trick-or-treating We just turn them over You got no trick or... That's pathetic Oh no, in town. But we're a little bit out of town

1:47:42 We just turn the lights off and sit here in the dark watching Seinfeld. Oh, you're one of those guys! Watching Seinfeld. Turn the lights off honey so that kids won't come Well are they going to walk all the way up to your front door or do you just throw some stuff down at the bottom? I could stay down there and throw stuff at them pennies. I feel like John Rockefeller Have a roll of pennies kids Some pennies Hey, the trolls are listening at trollroom.io They're listening live at the No Agenda stream It's quite a phenomenon it's filled with all whole bunch of off-the-cuff podcasts But there's quite the community people love listening creating themselves So it's a lot of its live and if not we roll out podcasts on schedules is really good Sir Bemrose manages most of that was very very good job with cotton gin and everyone's got some kooky name

1:48:39 And the trolls troll. It's true freedom of speech, they do whatever they want to say! By the way I have a good suggestion for people giving out stuff to kids when they come by... THC gummies.

Minestrone if your an Italian name or Indian already. Soup don't go to that house that guy's nuts

Apple Podcast Transcripts, Podcasting 2.0 Standards

Apple has begun automatically generating transcripts for podcasts that do not provide their own, a move that the hosts suggest may have copyright implications. They advocate for the Podcasting 2.0 standard, which allows creators to include their own transcripts in the RSS feed. The discussion highlights the benefits of modern podcast apps, such as faster updates and chapter support, over the default Apple and Spotify platforms.

apple podcasts· podcasting 2.0· transcripts· copyright· rss feeds

1:49:20 Have you ever seen his office? No, I hear it's horrible. You can also listen to the podcast and the live stream in a modern podcast app which is a great way to do it if you're on now If you have Apple intelligence, I'd say don't use the Apple Podcasts App get Castamatic from the App Store It's really good. It's only on iPhones but it's a fantastic app Hey, you told me something an email that I'm gonna have to bring up Okay, Apple is doing transcripts of podcasts. Yes So podcasting 2.0 do I think that's illegal? Let me finish with the statement podcast in 2.0

1:50:00 created the standard for inserting into your feed a transcript of the episode. And so we use otter.ai, actually one of our producers says they have an AI transcript company and they've offered us free transcription. So I'm going to take them up on that offer if there any good which probably is no agenda producer. And so we had those running for couple years Kind of a big win for us because Apple now adopted the podcasting 2.0 standard, they put it in their docs but the way it works with them is if you don't have...if you don't explicitly say I have my own transcript they will make their own transcripts of your podcast and do it for every single one and you say that as illegal? They're making a copy

1:50:51 written copy of the copyrighted material you can't just copy it without permission. Oh, you make a huge mistake! You can't just put your stuff onto Apple to be available on the Apple podcast app unless you sign their EULA Oh, so the ULAW is good? Oh yeah. They can do whatever they want! That's why we created a podcast index because those guys were the default on-ramp and you had to register and sign their ULAWs same as Spotify. Yeah exactly. Screw them So rock against the man Rock against the power Get your own transcript that spells John C Dvorak wrong

1:51:37 That's what we want. Get some humor from the wonky boys over at Podcasting 2.0 And those apps, by the way have all kinds of things Apple doesn't have For instance it updates within 90 seconds of publishing an episode You don't have to wait hours sometimes that takes with Apple And you get chapters that they don't have, the cloud chapters. And also when we go live, you get the livestream with a notification when we send out the bat signal is beautiful thing. Now, you've probably also noticed we don't have advertisements. We never have 17 years in one episode now we've never had an advertisement. We run this value for value and you're starting to explain it more frequently in the newsletter I notice which is good. Explain to people that we put this show out there

CHAPTER 28 / 48 Discussion

Value for Value Model, 17th Anniversary Art

The hosts explain the "Value for Value" funding model, which relies on listener contributions rather than traditional advertising. They reflect on the show's 17th anniversary and the artwork provided by producer Francisco Scaramanga, which featured a "Mecca Cube" design. There is also a brief discussion regarding the absence of long-time producer Sironymous of Dogpatch, speculating he may be busy with work in the Middle East.

value for value· 17th anniversary· mecca cube· scaramanga· producers

1:52:28 For free, you know and we consider it to be valuable. We put a lot of time and effort into it I'm sorry It's really just off the cuff we just kind of sit down and off the cuff off the cuff We just had lived a whole show yeah That's exactly what we do And all we ask is that you return the value whenever it's convenient to you and in whatever amount is convenient to you. For some people, it's more than others but they may have more money or they may have more time... They may have more producers! That's right and we have... Well that's actually not possible if you think about it Nobody can have more producers then The No Agenda Show In fact, we have thousands of podcasts We have no listeners That's the best part about our podcast, we only have producers

1:53:15 And they deliver time, talent and treasure. are no agenda artists, many of them Dutch masters. Now it was our 17th anniversary on the last episode, episode 1707 on the 27th of November lots of sevens we titled it Sweet Seventeen and was very hard to find a good piece of art! It's funny that it was difficult as it was yeah and Francisco Scaramanga Who was always very complimentary when we choose his artwork, even though you think he hates us. Which I just don't know... Oh he does! No he doesn't. Yeah and I've heard him... well last time i was on that Mastodon thing all he did was berate the show and us

1:54:05 Maybe you should just forgive him. I think it, I think you're hanging on to it too much No, I'm hanging on to because a good bit So Scaramanga brought us the artwork... And he's producing more He is producing more Scaramanga brought us the artwork for our 17th anniversary Which was not exactly clear what it was but it was a big block that looked kind of like that What's that thing that all the Muslims go to? Yeah, the cube in Mecca. Yeah the Mecca Cube with the big 17 on it and little figures running around. It was actually kind of good. There's a name for one of our Muslim producers in the chat room will tell us exactly what it is called, I can't think of his last name. Speaking of Muslim producers where's Sironymous of Dogpatch and Loras Lobovia? What happened to him? Well that's interesting because he hasn't shown up for awhile and I figured oh god this is the worst conflagration could be so I brought it up at the with Jay and Brennan Rover

1:55:01 And Jay just calmly says, you know because of all the action going on in the Middle East. She says you know he might be working Good point J. He just might be worth the quabba quabba quboda quobar Yeah, they could go some I can't pronounce his mother Corbett a But yeah, he might be working. He definitely has a... We don't know exactly what he is or what he does but we're pretty sure it's something clandestine and we hope he's okay. Well it must be because he's so He sends cash from what looks like fresh hundreds. And two dollar bills. Of course somebody could have just said, hey wait why is this pile of hundreds going down? Hey let me grab that! What are you doing with this stuff?! Maybe it got burned along with the ballots

CHAPTER 29 / 48 Discussion

Producer Updates, Neighbor Dispute Lawsuit

Updates on various show producers include Sir Chris Wilson's recent TEDx talk on data and algorithms. One host shares a personal anecdote about a 12-foot hole being dug for a septic system and mentions an ongoing legal dispute with a neighbor. The lawsuit, which has lasted several years, involves property boundaries and "impinging on turf," though specific details are withheld.

chris wilson· tedx· neighbor dispute· lawsuit· septic system

1:55:56 You never know. Who knows? You never know, so we did have... We haven't heard from him in you know just a couple months. Yeah I'm always worried and no if it doesn't matter who I was happy to hear from Sir Chris Wilson again who did a TED talk recently. Chris did a TED talk?! Yeah! Oh you didn't know that or is it TedX? No I'm sorry it's a TEDx let me see I think I have um I think I have a piece of it here Yeah, this is a piece of his TED talk. What do we do with all this data? We use algorithms that parse this massive catalog of data using deep iteration or DI It's called redefining artificial intelligence Now DI... Oh it must be one your favorite talks! Chris is a funny guy

1:56:48 But anyway, the point being even Luke Von Der Helm came back on the scene and he had rage quit because we weren't taking Russia seriously enough and Ukraine. I said Ukraine. Ukraine? Ukraine but he's been listening again which is nice So I'm all up... This is a great show, the fact that people rage quit and refuse to listen. But now if they refuse to listen like their only excuse ever well as driving a truck for all you know and i can listen to this show the six hours Show we put now I'm at home or I've got a different job. I work in the office. I got no commute I don't you know if you yeah, have you waited to listening on a commute? Yeah Okay, but and by the way garbage guys. I'll just call them garbage guys love us my garbage guy here is

1:57:37 And tell me you get this service. So Sunday night I was really tired after the show and, you know... We went to bed early and then nine o'clock on Monday Tina says did you take the garbage? I'm like oh! I completely forgot. I text the guy's like no problem we'll come back in an hour. I mean that's pretty cool You have your garbage guy, your sanitation engineers... Text message. Text message? Phone number? Yeah! Oh yeah! Wow And I don't think he even knows about the show or anything Well, tell him to listen to the show. He might like it! He probably would... Everybody here likes the show Hey man I was in a 12-foot hole the other day drigging a... Seriously? I heard this last night. A twelve foot hole for a septic system. I was talking to Eric and Eric says he mows your lawn everybody knows everybody around here is great

1:58:33 Yeah, right here it's not the same. No no you don't even know your neighbors nor would you want my neighbors yourself You know what? I talk to him we're suing one of them Wait stop the press What do you see by the way has sued neighbor disputes can get ugly what is that what is happening Oh, it's just a long story. It has been going on for a couple of years and is costing a lot of lawyer money but you should be able to get out of it Can you explain? No I'm not gonna talk about it Is it about offense? Well there is offense involved

1:59:09 But it's not specifically about defense. Wow, you're like the Osbournes Oh man You're one of those neighbors huh or you're the good no we're now one of those neighbors see other neighbors that want impinging oh They're impinging on your turf yeah I gotcha anyway Thank you for the other tries. I like the Carter 17 trips around the Sun What was that? How does that sound? Odd sound. What? No, I heard some kind of odd sound and what came from... Let's see what else you got a home invasion taking place so I guess so trying to think was there anything else that we liked at all not sure

CHAPTER 30 / 48 Discussion

AI Art Slop, Apple Intelligence Release

The rise of "AI slop" in digital art is discussed, with the hosts arguing that it discourages true human creativity. They critique the release of "Apple Intelligence," mocking features like Siri's ability to set timers and the AI's tendency to provide inaccurate summaries of text messages. A story is shared about a Polish radio station that fired its staff for AI personalities but was forced to rehire them after a listener revolt.

ai art· apple intelligence· siri· summaries· polish radio station

1:59:47 No, actually. There you go was a poultry selection and what there wasn't even a cake birthday cake with the 17 on it I mean this simple stuff was that would have won as simple birthday cake would have won? I think it would have to yeah And then what am ya cuz I thought the key I thought the cube was basically was basically lame. And you were like, wow look at Neswork777 on the jackpot! I'm saying what does that have to do with 17 years? Yeah the 7-7 yeah your...yeah I liked the piece and then that you mentioned what's a 777 got to do with seventeen if it was all seventeens it'd been funny. No they were not this is I you attributed this to the fallback on AI as kind of actually

2:00:36 I was listening to, there's a show they have locally about what do you think about this call? It's got some lame name. It's just a filler show on KTVU and they were talking about people who use their GPS to go the store and drive home. The route home, which you've gone to a million times. Do you still have your GPS on showing it? Take a left take a right and everybody said yes to this and I've noticed that everybody in the family uses GPS is on all the time I stopped, well because I don't have a phone anymore. But I stopped using it some years ago the GPS because I want to find my way around. Yeah keeps you sharp! I want to be able to literally find my way around without having Google tell me take a left take a right. Because you start to lose your sense of things when you push and that's what happening with the AI art Yes thats exactly it your right

2:01:35 It's filled up with slop, most of it is meh okay uninteresting and I think the true artists go like oh well look at all that that's better than them. And they give up! They give up is the saddest thing AI is ruining the show did you see Apple's do you see Apple intelligence release? I've seen a lot of their ads where their phones are flying to the store but... Do you want it? No, I did. It actually came out with something because it's all been vaporware as far as I can tell Would you like to hear the report from KTLA's technology reporter about the Apple AI? Of course I would! Let's do it Here we go Apple Intelligence is here To learn more about it I went to the Apple Store where they're doing pop-up demos As part of their Today at Apple session Please sit please get comfortable and welcome to say hello to Apple Intelligent Jamyra Austin is my guide

2:02:27 The best part about Apple Intelligence is how intuitive and easy to use it is. Not all the features are available just yet, but you'll get new writing tools Just select what you want and then immediately rewrite it I love it so you don't have to hop between apps to do this It's all right there Yes which is the best part no third-party apps No moving around These let you highlight text and rewrite it in different styles They works anywhere if there's a blinking cursor Emails have a new summarize button at the top and AI can help you reply automatically suggesting responses to any questions in an email. By prioritizing and saving time that's really what Apple Intelligence is all about The photos app has a new cleanup tool which lets you remove unwanted people or objects from your photos Siri is also getting smarter set a timer for 17 minutes I mean six minutes

2:03:15 The voice assistant will better understand your requests, even if you stumble. And there's a new way to type to Siri! Wow, that's new. Double tap the bottom of your screen pops up a Siri asks you what should we ask? Apple's AI has a colorful glow and whimsical animations and Apple says it's doing all of this in a way that protects the privacy of your data It's been designed with privacy from the ground up so from the moment that you open your device to any time you use an app those privacy implications are built right in There you go. These are terrible reports! Oh, it sets a timer? When is that new?! No he stumbled he said set a timer for 50... oh no six minutes and Apple was so smart it figured it out instead of him just like setting the timer It's nonsense! It's lame and so instead of fixing your email like you know your spam it does summaries

2:04:15 It does summaries of your text messages. So if they weren't short enough, it summarizes text messages in the preview. Text messages are always short! Well it's iMessage man... so someone sent me a screenshot His mom had texted him, that hike almost killed me. Oh yeah this is a classic! This is going around Yeah and you saw the summary was attempted suicide but recovered and hiked in Redlands and Palm Springs Yes! It's worth 150 billion dollars investment it's great I think it's well worth it

2:04:57 It'll be subject to ridicule is what we're gonna see here and that's all it's gonna be a good for, is ridicule. A Polish radio station they had announced two weeks ago or shutting it down when we're creating all AI personalities were firing all the staff and the listeners revolted They had to go oh no we are hiring them back now which I think is probably a good thing Anyway, let's get to the treasure portion of... Oh by the way noagendaartgenerator.com we kind of strayed away from that you can listen in real time refresh it in real time You can participate! That's the beauty of it. It doesn't have to be AI Sometimes we've taken just a scribble that was photocopied Can be anything as long as you've got the right creativity in there We'll recognize it. We recognize genius here especially from Dutch masters

Associate Executive Producers, B-52 Trivia

A second tier of producers is acknowledged, including those from Wisconsin, California, and Washington. A segment of aviation trivia regarding the B-52 bomber is featured, revealing the "trick" that the aircraft has no nose gear in the traditional sense. Several long-time listeners are granted knighthoods and "karma" for their ongoing support.

I've been listening for nine and a half years have always wanted to donate but dedicating our lives to an endeavor that is not valued in this upside-down world meant that for years my husband and I used a cardboard box A cardboard apple box as a fridge and the bottom of a cardboard washing machine box as a kitchen table, and no internet for more than seven years.

Delta Lawsuit Against CrowdStrike, Falcon Software

Delta Air Lines has filed a lawsuit against CrowdStrike following a faulty software update that caused widespread flight cancellations and an estimated $500 million in losses. The complaint alleges that CrowdStrike forced the update even on systems where automatic updates were disabled. It further claims that the company exploited an "unauthorized door" within the Microsoft operating system.

delta air lines· crowdstrike· falcon software· microsoft· lawsuit

2:32:43 Hey, I just wanted to mention one thing about CrowdStrike. You know remember David Boies was suing CrowdStrike and then Delta was gonna sue CrowdStrike? Do you remember any of this for that? Oh yeah! We remember that all of a sudden there was this very odd update that happened so Rob the constitutional lawyer has put this latest complaint, I think this is from Delta into the show notes with his markups. Listen to this... CrowdStrike forced untested and faulty updates to its customers even if you did not have automatic updates enabled as Delta did not

2:33:41 How about that? That's, there you go. There is your loss of weight to happen. They're dead in the water with Delta estimates that it suffered over $500 million dollars and out-of-pocket losses from the faulty update in addition to future revenue and severe harm and reputation and goodwill Yeah You know what might as well say our CEO even started wearing dresses! You should throw that in there then maybe get some money for that If CrowdStrike had tested the faulty update on even one computer before deployment The computer would have crashed CrowdStrike intentionally created and exploited an unauthorized door within the Microsoft OS through CrowdStrike's Falcon software. This is very damning! That is not good So even if you had automatic updates disabled, they still... so that tells me... And remember this came right after the Republican convention

New York City Jaywalking Legalization

Jaywalking has been legalized in New York City after the City Council passed a bill that Mayor Eric Adams declined to veto. Proponents of the law cited racial disparities in enforcement, noting that over 90% of tickets were issued to Black and Latino residents. Critics, including the hosts, express concern that the change will lead to increased pedestrian deaths and worsened traffic congestion.

jaywalking· new york city· eric adams· traffic safety· racial disparities

2:34:41 Well, there's something like that is going to happen apparently in a couple of days when the grid goes down. You better fill up your bathtub! And all hell breaks loose! You better fill up your bathtub! Fill up your tank! It's happening people it's happening and we're getting there I have a couple horror stories. Horror for Halloween. Oh, Halloween... Okay. Halloween horror! Play this clip. Jaywalking. And a common practice has become the law of the land in New York City. Jaywalking is now legal. What? The city council passed a bill last month allowing pedestrians to cross the street at will

2:35:23 It became law over the weekend after time ran out for Mayor Eric Adams to veto the measure. Jaywalking used to carry a fine of up to $250, and by one count more than 90% of those targeted last year were black and Latino There are concerns that the new measure will lead to more pedestrian deaths but for many New Yorkers it's simply an acknowledgment of life in the busy city Oh, that's horrible. And not only that if you think about the way this report is structured it's gonna be blacks and Latinos that are killed! You know it screws up traffic I used to drive into Manhattan every single day for 12 years and when people just cross... so I was that a-hole with the Jersey license plates If I had the green light and you're starting across I'm like BAM

2:36:13 I'm hanging on the horn like no because you're crossing illegally it You know one people how it screws up traffic. This is this is Really stupid sounds like a technicality, but oh boy was it is this part of liberal New York? I guess dumb. This is dumb bad idea Adams. I was just starting to like him too the mayor the mayor He's probably busy doing something else with anonymous Maybe. Maybe it's the same guy So here is my report, you can take it or leave it but its good to get to the WTF clip this is a disgusting body traders You've been hanging on this for three shows I love this clip

Human Remains Trade, Last Seen Podcast

An NPR excerpt from the "Last Seen" podcast explores the underground and legal markets for human remains. The investigation was sparked by the arrest of a morgue manager at Harvard Medical School for trafficking donated body parts. The segment describes Facebook groups where skulls and "wet specimens" are traded, often using coded language to avoid platform bans.

human remains· harvard medical school· skulls· npr· oddities trade

2:37:02 Okay, we're doing number one? Yeah. Last June the morgue manager at Harvard Medical School was arrested on charges of stealing and trafficking in human remains that had been donated to science His arrest unraveled a nationwide network of bodies traders member station WBUR dug into this case and ended up exploring the world of legal remains trading in the podcast Last Seen Postmortem. Here's an excerpt with host Ali Jarr-Manning, and a warning this segment contains descriptions of human remains. I couldn't believe how easy it was to find human remains collectors to talk to! I logged onto Facebook and searched well... skulls? And I found a bunch of Facebook groups specializing in the oddities trade. I joined a public group called Real Human Skullz Only No Scammer

2:37:58 Despite the name, there are a lot of scammers in this group. People post stolen photos and try to get some cash Some of these posts it looks like they dug up a grave and snapped a photo of the bones to sell The skulls are cracked and look dirty They don't have any hardware that medical specimen would have There are also more legit listings too. So like this one says, vintage medical grade partial human noggin $450 plus and then a picture of a 400 so plus shipping some of the listings spell human h o m a n to avoid getting flagged and instead of using numbers to list the price they include emojis of the figures

2:38:42 I joined another group, this one called the Serious Wet Specimen Collectors Buyers and Sellers Group. This page is filled with jars of preserved organs animals reptiles there are dead puppies and kittens in jars a python with no eyes in jars A six-inch sea slug in a jar Now this may surprise you but this jogged something in my memory when I was 12, 13 I think and I bought it off of somebody. I don't remember. I had a human skull! You had a skull? They're worth 450 bucks?! I know!! Now the jawbone that they gave...that i bought with it clearly wasn't the right jaw bone It didn't quite fit in right but I put little LED red led lights in the eye sockets

2:39:33 So at night, you know I could turn it on in my room. I had a skull with red eyes Wow you could easily become a goth Easily! I was Ska for sure but Goth was not my thing so back then but yeah people like That's cool It wasn't seen as gruesome I recall. It just had a skull...it was kind of small head Maybe it was that he was a young person Well as we as we go into the collectors world which she goes into next mm-hmm They don't think it's gruesome either. There are human specimens to Human wet specimen of a child's tongue windpipe heart and lungs who passed away tragically from choking on a marble All my clicking around leads me to a page for something called the ossuary

2:40:24 The description says, we ensure a safe home and dignified transition for prior medical specimens and cremains. I reach out to the couple that runs it Justin Capps and Sonia Cobb and they are more than happy for me to come visit them at their home in Smyrna Delaware Justin and Sonia don't have any connection to the thefts at Harvard, but I want to talk to them and those like them because they're part of the demand for human remains. And that demand causes people like Cedric Lodge to allegedly find the supply so i want to understand why they do this?

2:41:01 It's dark when I arrive. I'm meeting Justin and Sonia at dinner time, they're night shifters. Sonia works in long-term care as a nurse. Justin is an ordained minister and he keeps Sonia's hours so i'm catching them at the beginning of their day Their neighborhood of newish single family homes and duplexes is tucked away off a busy road. I spot their house His car's license plate says skulls Other than the license plate, the house looks pretty typical in this little subdivision. Until I step inside... Wow! Right away? You can't miss it?! My eyes immediately drift to under the TV where a skeleton rests on its back in a glass box glowing under blacklight

2:41:51 Across the room next to the overstuffed leather couch another skeleton hangs in an upright coffin a spinal column lamp sits on a table This is this is a podcast That you've chopped up into bits. I didn't chop up addition to anything where did this come from? NPR oh as I said, it's a podcast and Well, they said it. They introduced it as a podcast if you remember the first from the first clip No I can't remember them so distracted by this this narration well that's because she thinks she is doing what was the one that started this serial

2:42:32 Yeah, I know. They're walking around and describing what they're doing. Why don't you just say people go subscribe to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts? No she said... She said this was from a podcast This is we're listening to a podcast that was edited by somebody but not by me Alright Is that the end of that part? Yes. Oh, there's two more clips. I can't wait! Amazing amazing it's riveting i haven't even turned to my left and my right yet where two pairs of skeletons flanked the front hall this is not really a living room anymore it's been turned over to the skeletons pretty much standing here

The Ossuary, Delaware Skeleton Collectors

A Delaware couple, Justin Capps and Sonia Cobb, are profiled for their collection of seven full human skeletons kept in their living room. They view themselves as "rescuers" of forgotten medical specimens rather than morbid collectors. Their collection includes a skeleton housed in an 1860s antique coffin repurposed as a coffee table. They hope to eventually open a public ossuary in a church.

skeletons· delaware· ossuary· medical specimens· rituals

2:43:09 I count one, two three four five six full skeletons. My coffin table? Oh wow! Justin lifts the lid of the coffee...I mean coffin table to reveal the seventh skeleton in the room So this was an antique coffin 1860s that we sent to the Smyrna prison because they have a wood shop department and they redid this and put the legs on it made it into a coffin table for us And this was the coffin that skeleton came in? Yeah, it was stored in this. Yes that was the deal with the coffin or the skeletons when they came they were all stored in antique coffins and they all had to go with antique coffins so when they... Justin and Sonja don't have all these remains as a gag or so they can live in some kind of haunted house and they do not see themselves as collectors at all. Hate saying we collect

2:44:02 remains, even though we collect in the sense that we gather and not that we collect because we're morbidly you know want to have a house full of bones. I didn't wake up and go oh you know what? I think bones are something i wanna play with this was something i was called to do people rescue puppies and kittens and we rescue medical specimens these items people they were lost to time Please tell me that the last clip ends with them doing some weird sex stuff around the bones. You know, the thing is... please These are hoarders Yes Of bones Collectors or classic collectors in denial

2:44:45 As an archivist, I can tell you the background of this. There are hoarders in denial and they think this is normal and I can't imagine ever getting anyone to come over for dinner for example. No! Who needs dinner guests when you could have NPR show up at your house? Well, they were welcomed because nobody else ever would go there. But let's listen to the WTF part of this clip for... This journey all started with Tyler Yeah he used a geriatric skull He has one too Oh yeah! One little molar I fell in love with him He was geriatric guy worked in hospice It was perfect

2:45:25 They found Tyler in an oddity shop they often visited. He wasn't for sale, he was just decoration. He was smiling at me I don't know what it was. He looks happy doesn't he? He looked happy! When COVID hit and the store closed Justin wanted to help out the owner and offered a loan of $1200 dollars. He took Tyler as collateral The owner never paid back the loan, and Tyler sparked something for Justin and Sonia. They got Tyler for me and then I said I needed a whole skeleton for the corner! From there Justin got to work looking for how to get Sonia her skeleton. Websites like Skulls Unlimited sell human skeletons for upwards of $7200 bucks

2:46:07 But Justin and Sonia didn't believe buying a human was morally right. These are former people, these were someone's parents, someone's children, brothers sisters they need a little bit more respect than you're given. Justin kept hunting and he found a fraternal organization —he won't say which one— that was looking to offload skeletons they'd been using for rituals And that's how Justin and Sonia ended up with seven skeletons in their living room Well wait a minute where is the ritual clip? That's what I'd like to know. What rituals are we talking about? What group was this they won't name the group, they won't tell us their ritual. I think it's some cult could be the Democrat Party. Hey, that could be cosmic pizza. That's Comet. That's your shaggy bone... Shaggy bone? Shaggy dog? It is my shaggy bone story! Hey babe want to see my bone come on man no comet pizza

2:47:06 I don't understand why you don't think this is the funniest series of clips i've ever given ya. Okay, there's a wrap-up clip doesn't really have wait. There's more Does I think of fifth? Yeah just that kind of a denouement Their goal eventually is to open a real ossuary a building filled with human bones They're thinking a church where people could visit and maybe get married and see the final resting place for forgotten remains They know it sounds kind of weird. When I was telling people this is what i'm doing this week, I'm going to visit some folks who rescue human remains they were like What the f- So like what do you say to... how do you explain to people

2:47:54 Get to know someone like us first, because this is honestly not just unique but it's trailblazing. It's different. It's something nobody has ever really seen before and we have the opportunity to do something wild crazy and cool And you're standing here in my living room seeing this yourself. There's nothing gross here, there is no blood, no guts and then... No gore! This isn't set up like Halloween or something You are not coming in here to be- It really isn't it's tasteful. The skeletons aren't glass display boxes or hanging in coffins They all have names. It's almost museum like I'm not grossed out by at all. I am more intrigued. I'm interested in their interest in it all

2:48:37 I do wonder though, how different are Justin and Sonia than any other collectors? A lot different. Do you know what they should give to kids for Halloween? Soup! As the podfather, I denounce this podcast it shall be taken out of the index The thing is I think that they got that original skull and they, and they got...I think it was a Twilight Zone-like episode. There's something about it that infected them. And now this poor podcaster goes in there thinks she thinks this is normal and tasteful? Are you kidding me?! All right. Thanks! So that's my Halloween clips kids Yeah, that's great we hey, honestly, I was looking at the troll room This sick bunch thought it was great

Climate Change and Marathons, COP 16

As the COP 16 climate conference begins in Colombia, media reports are highlighting the impact of rising temperatures on events like the New York City Marathon. A study in The Lancet claims a 167% increase in heat-related deaths since the 1990s. The hosts criticize these reports as "nonsense," arguing that the ideal running temperature remains consistent and that the data is being framed to support a specific agenda.

climate change· nyc marathon· cop 16· heat-related deaths· the lancet

2:49:33 Of course they did! They thought it was great. Everybody liked it but you. Alright, I need to do a couple of clips about DTCC? That's what I'm calling it now? DTCC? What? D-T-C... It's an acronym. DTCC. Oh, I thought you'd get it. Deranged Trump Conditioned Characters? Due to climate change. Millions of spectators, tens of thousands of first-time runners braving the course and a handful of elite athletes fighting for first place. They're all hoping for one thing come race day perfect weather. Obviously we're looking for you know morning lows in those 30s and 40 degrees with hopefully not creasing up much more than the mid 50's

2:50:20 I think if you look it up out there, 52-53 degrees seems to be like the ideal temp. But that crisp air so highly sought after by runners may not stick around for marathons of the future as our climate changes so too does the fall field. So it's perfect weather for the marathon! Perfect weather but... On average, New York City experiences a week and half more of above normal fall days as compared to 1970. And that has a serious effect on runners If you're going to have the average go up when you have that warm marathon A degree or two especially when you look at humidity like the amount of moisture in the air and that is shifting as well The amount of moisture warm air can hold That's gonna change how people sweat How they evaporate sweat

2:51:04 and then how they finish a race. Sustainable steps like raising funds to offset the marathon's carbon emissions, using solar generators to power tents and taking the Staten Island Ferry to the starting line are all brand new initiatives organizers are taking with the goal of being net zero by 2040. Initiatives they hope will allow millions of runners from around the world to race through five boroughs for years to come. Due to climate change... So okay, so thank you for that nonsense New York ABC but wait but wait we this is because COP 16 is now underway in Colombia

2:51:41 So the big climate change conference. Oh, that's right! Climate change yeah we got to do some stories any studies come out? Yeah I gotta study a new report reveals record-breaking health impacts due to shifts in climate more than 120 scientists across the globe say every country is facing human health and survival threats There's been a 167 percent increase in heat-related deaths since the 1990s. Millions of people have experienced food insecurity because of heat waves and droughts. The report shows people were exposed to 50 or more days of health threatening temperatures around the world last year. People's capacity to work outdoors is increasingly limited, and the health of workers is being put at risk

2:52:28 It's affecting the very foundations of good health, of well-being, of healthy livelihoods. And we know that climate change is the biggest threat that we're facing in the short and long term to our health." That report published in The Lancet found heat related deaths are most likely to one day exceed cold related deaths due to climate change. So we're all going to die from climate change and then a sad report but also a huge lie about this flooding in Valencia, in Spain? This is unbelievable! Residents of the small Valencian town were in shock Wednesday morning, a day after torrential rain caused the ravine to overflow its banks

CHAPTER 41 / 48 Discussion

Valencia Floods, Historical Precedent

Recent catastrophic flooding in Valencia, Spain, has been attributed by some scientists to human-induced climate change. However, historical records indicate that the region has experienced at least 75 major floods since the 14th century, including a devastating event in 1957 that killed 81 people. The hosts argue that the current flooding is part of a natural cycle rather than a new phenomenon caused by global warming.

valencia· spain· flooding· climate change· historical floods

2:53:14 The sudden downpour led to widespread flooding, damage to infrastructure and incalculable material losses. Never before in history has there been so much rain you can't even imagine the amount of rain that fell here yesterday. It's a catastrophe. The floods we had in 1982 when I was 10 years old were a joke compared to what happened here yesterday With dozens dead and the death toll expected to increase The Spanish Parliament observed a minute of silence on Wednesday for victims of the catastrophe. Scientists warn that extreme weather such as heat waves and storms is becoming more intense as result of human-induced climate change. This is bullcrap! One, Wikipedia even has this in 1957...the 1957 Valencia flood

2:54:09 was a natural disaster that occurred on October 14th, 1957. The flood resulted in significant damage to property caused the deaths of at least 81 people only about 10 times as much as this one In response to the tragedy the Spanish government devised and enacted the plan sur which rerouted the city's main river the one that just overflowed good work A large number of floods have been recorded in Valencia from 1321 to 1897. Up to 75 floods are estimated to have taken place in the seven centuries prior to the 1957 flood This is cyclical people! Due to climate change... And they're just scamming us with this stuff It kind of irks me

Nike Air Sneakers, Sulfur Hexafluoride Credits

Nike reportedly earned $700 million in carbon credits by removing sulfur hexafluoride from its "Air" sneaker line. The gas is considered a potent greenhouse gas, thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The hosts describe this as a "boondoggle," where a company creates a problem and then receives financial rewards for solving it.

nike· air jordans· sulfur hexafluoride· carbon credits· greenhouse gas

2:54:55 I guess so. And the best though, Nike... By the way this was everything! Oh yeah oh no i know it won't... Let's leave out the facts It's fact light with no evidence So this was a great story though then this is my final climate due to climate change The Nike Air sneakers. You remember that revolution of the Nike Air sneakers where you pumped air into it? Yeah, you pump them up So it wasn't actually air It was a gas I'm trying to see what was it called...

2:55:37 sulfur hexafluoride. Oh, that's interesting! Which is a very... it's according to this article the planet's most powerful greenhouse gas 24 thousand times more potent than carbon dioxide so they learned about this and then they went oh-oh-oh and in 2006 they eliminated this horrible heat trapping gas from its shoes and decided instead to go to a new substance, what was the gas substitution? I think now it's just air. But they turned this into a 700 million dollar boondoggle by getting carbon credits for removing the hexafluoride from that from the Air Jordans

2:56:33 Oh, that's funny. Isn't that amazing? Yeah it's a good bit! 700 million dollars... Create a problem and then get rid of the problem and then get credit for getting rid of the problem you created in the first place. Due to climate change What a scam this is. What a scam! It was a scam Like we didn't know it was a scam but I just have to stay on it Ummm.... Uhhhhhhhhhh..... Oh oh oh this is kind of important because it's a moment for, and native ad. For too many eggs dot com. An egg-spearment with promising results at Harvard Medical Student eating 720 eggs in one month finding that his cholesterol levels actually dipped 20%. Here to discuss is Fox News medical contributor Dr Nicole Sapphire So Doctor Nicole and I both have new chicken coops

CHAPTER 43 / 48 Discussion

Harvard Egg Study, Cholesterol and Brain Health

A Harvard medical student conducted a self-experiment by eating 720 eggs in one month, finding that his cholesterol levels actually dropped by 20%. Dr. Nicole Saphier discussed the results on Fox News, noting that while extreme, the study highlights the benefits of eggs for brain health due to their choline content. One host shares his own "show day concoction" involving a raw egg from a local farm.

eggs· cholesterol· harvard· brain health· choline

2:57:34 So we're big on eggs, but I'm about moderation. 720 eggs? Crazy! But interesting that his cholesterol dipped." Yeah well good morning Rachel and the big thing that comes out of this study is first of all i do not suggest anybody does extreme studies like this but it's interesting so let's look at a little bit he had a very large consumption of eggs over months period and his cholesterol actually dropped 20 percent now why is that well the truth is he did change his diet little bit differently But the big take home here is that everyone's body is different and what may be good for one person, may not be good for someone else. My big take home, just like you. I'm a huge supporter of eggs. I think it is great for your overall health especially your brain health that has choline in it but everything in moderation and so some people are predisposed to high level of cholesterol because its in their DNA, its in their genes and there's nothing they can do about it and those people especially those who have diabetes eating large amount of eggs can actually have negative impacts on their health but majority overwhelming research does show that up to

2:58:37 seven eggs a week, not only is it bad for your health but it's probably really good for your health. It decreases the risk of dementia and decreases your risk of stroke so eat your eggs guys! Eat your eggs! TooManyEggs.com? TooManyEggs.com I have a raw egg Are you eating it now? On show days You eat a raw egg on show days Yeah Well that explains a lot Doesn't explain anything Do you just crack it open in the glass and then suck it down Come on, mix it in with a concoction. I make a show day concoction Yes Which is proprietary at the moment? No hold on a second and I feel that you should be publishing this On this very podcast telling us about the show date concoctions So other part of there's a tip of the day upcoming tip of the day could be today Could be their next tip of the days. Yeah, I'm gonna make it a tip of the day that Showday concoction now the raw egg thing is sketchy because of the nature of the

2:59:36 crappy industrial eggs, but luckily Jay up there in Rodeo with her husband they have a bunch of chickens and they're getting these you know pretty pristine eggs from you know chickens that don't get salmonella because they're not part of the giant flock. And so I use those eggs You are a curious man. Yeah, we got tip of the day coming up. I don't know if it's going to be John's showday egg concoction but we'll hope that will be a tip of the day in the future. I'm very excited about hearing about that

Meetup Reports, Florida Bottom Boat Tour

Reports from recent meetups in Minneapolis and Chicago are shared, though some audio quality issues are noted. An upcoming "November to Remember" meetup in Gainesville, Florida, will feature a glass-bottom boat tour of the Silver Springs River. The hosts emphasize that meetups are essential for building a community of "first responders" who can support each other during emergencies.

3:15:35 These hurricanes showed you that you can't be waiting around for the government.

Um, I don't mind editing out spaces. I don't mind trying to filter some stuff but listen to what you've recorded before you send it to me. There were three reports that could not play they're just inaudible this one i kind of was able to make it usable but um so i mean it sounds like they recorded this on

3:16:22 I don't know, what were those first MP3 players? The very first one. Is it the Rio? Rio would be one of them but they never recorded No and i'm thinking what was that long kind of longest one looked like a thumb I don't know. And it had a little display on it, hmmm...

3:17:56 You don't take your iPhone, put it on record and put in a bucket and put in the corner yelling to the buckets. That is not the way that professionals do it Maybe was Joe Biden's audio guy who did that I don't know but this this was... How can you even make it so bad? The sound maybe was on a Nokia. That's what it sounded like. An old realistic cassette recorder that somebody puked on the microphone so it has no sound anymore Sir Spooky's Halloween spooktacular meetup is a written report. It was the third time they did this, a success 10 people in total everybody went home with Halloween candy and a raffle prize and even the liberal was happy but in all seriousness everyone the group had unique viewpoints and got along just fine lots of new faces beyond comparing Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan and Kamala on Call Her Daddy we hardly even talk politics just really nice people enjoying the Halloween festivities everyone's always welcome at our Chicago

3:18:54 meetups. Finally, we continue in the tradition of watching Adam's Swamp Thing episode gets better with every viewing Can you provide any retrospective about your experience?

Tip of the Day, Boston Boot for Lawnmowers

The "Tip of the Day" features a recommendation for the "Tevlaphee" wheel lock, also known as a Boston boot. The tip suggests using the device to secure outdoor equipment like riding lawnmowers from theft. The hosts debate the effectiveness of the boot on cars, noting that a determined thief might still attempt to drive off and damage the vehicle.

CHAPTER 48 / 48 Discussion

Outro and Sign-off, Que Mala Wordplay

The show concludes with a discussion of Spanish wordplay regarding Kamala Harris's name. The hosts note that "Que Mala" translates to "how bad" in Spanish, a pun being used by some critics. They sign off with their traditional "Adios mofos" and "In the morning" greetings, looking forward to the final episode before the 2024 election.
