It was in New York, it was a rat.
Hello, Adam Curry, John C.
Dvorak.
November 7th, twenty twenty four.
This is your award winning Cuban Asian media assassination episode seventeen.
This is no agenda.
We are unburdened and live from the heart of the country here in the region.
Number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering when these blowhard celebrities are going to leave the country.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Here's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
You know, that's not going to happen.
They all promised.
No, no one promised this year.
I don't think.
Who promised?
Yeah, they did.
There's a there's a laundry list of them.
I heard a lot of rich Americans were going to move to other countries.
I don't know why you do that.
Good.
Hey, I think it pretty much happened the way we thought it would.
Wet fart votes in on time.
I don't know.
I don't think it was a wet fart.
You keep continue to say over and over again, for some reason, you must have some sort of digestive issues because it's on your mind.
I'm sorry.
I must have missed the massive protest you predicted.
Oh, I must have missed that.
A little too shabby.
Thank you.
What people forget is that we knew well, we we hypothesize, but all the all the evidence pointed towards the system wanting Trump in.
Yeah.
And so I think even as I was watching, I saw, you know, it was so obvious, like I'm going to call Pennsylvania already.
And I'm switching around MSNBC.
Oh, MSNBC was the worst of the group.
Everybody refused to call anything.
But I think they were all even Fox.
I think they were waiting like.
No, no, Fox.
Fox moved fast.
It wasn't as fast as it could have been.
That was 93 percent in Pennsylvania.
I'm not going to argue.
And I think they were all just waiting just in case there's going to be a ballot drop.
You know, it's like waiting for the truckloads of phony ballots waiting for something.
Where are they?
There was an emergency meeting of pastors this morning.
Did you hear about this?
Tell me.
Well, they fear the rapture has already begun and 15 million Democrat voters from 2020 are missing.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
It took me two weeks to get that joke.
Well, I think, you know, the number generally is 20 million, but but 15 is good.
Yes.
Where are those people go?
Did you see that chart with the blue and the red line?
That's a great chart.
I mean, classic chart.
I'm even seeing people posting it in the next newsletter.
Maybe maybe we did cheat in 2020.
But but I think that's what was needed.
That's what was needed.
It was needed.
And it was, you know, it was needed for us to see how bad it really was.
And I'm just.
Very happy that we have we've received this grace and mercy that that Trump won now, because it could have gotten worse.
I'm not happy at all, unless these celebrities leave the country.
So as I'm looking around.
Of course, as I hope there wouldn't be too much of.
But there's a lot of ball spiking.
There's a lot of look at the.
Look at the.
I have a few clips.
But why don't you do those and get them out of the.
I want to get there.
I want to I'll get these clips away.
But before I play any of them, I'm now convinced because even Brunetti sent me a couple.
These are not serious.
These are people that are auditioning for Hollywood roles.
Oh, but hold on a second.
Well, I don't know if they're auditioning for Hollywood roles, but I told you the whole system on tick tock is to get more tick tock love.
You got to cry.
And then and the people.
Oh, you go, girl.
It's OK.
It's going to be all right.
We got you.
And then you got some tick tock.
It's it's a it's a loop.
It's a continuous loop.
That's what the system does.
They love it.
Well, let's start with this one, as I only I didn't get people thinking I'm going to get 100 of them.
No, we don't want 100.
No, I got three.
OK.
And I got to what?
I think two of them are fake.
One of them might be real.
But let's start with the probably fake.
This was a some loser going on and on, crying, not a wet drop seen anywhere on her face.
If you look carefully, this is bull crap.
Well, which one is this?
Probably fake.
Is he thinking he's probably fake?
The thing to me is that if this guy does end up winning again, all of the people who voted for him will be like happy and they'll just be celebrating.
And everyone else, everyone who feels threatened by him is fucking scared.
Like we're we're scared for our lives.
We're scared for our friends.
Like you have pro life women dying because they're their doctors are dying to treat them.
You might die because of the repercussions of his last presidency.
How did we get here?
How did we get here to know that there is that much ignorance and that much hate in this country?
It's so terrifying.
How could you do this?
How can you claim to be a Christian or anyone of moral values and support someone with every word out of his mouth to hate when he wants to pardon people who took over the Capitol?
You do not do this to people that you love and care about.
If you have a woman in your life, if you have an LGBTQ person in your life, if you have anyone in your life who's not white, how did we get here?
Someone tell me, please.
Someone really tell me, please, because the only way I see it is that like either he cheated and that was his secret or this country is built on so much hate and we might never get out of this.
If you voted for him.
You are dead to me.
Yeah, go ahead and give a shit.
I really don't.
OK, so this is what you guys can't hear.
Hold on, let me ask you a question.
Is this the one that Brunetti sent to you?
Oh, I don't you know, I don't know.
It may have been.
There's a bunch, but it's important.
It doesn't matter.
No, it's a phony.
This is a phony baloney.
She's not crying.
There's no tears.
I want to I want to make a point.
Dana Brunetti is a big time Hollywood producer.
Not everybody knows when we just say Brunetti.
He's he did House of Cards.
He did Grand Prix, Gran Turismo.
And this is a big time Hollywood producer.
And I might add.
Executive producer of the No Agenda show.
Yes, he couldn't make it to executive.
He's an executive associate executive producer, actually.
And when I listen to this, because I saw this, it's it almost feels like she's reading a script.
It may be parts of two different scripts, but it's a script.
So and they throw in the thing about he's going to pardon the January.
What does that got to do with what her complaint?
How did we get here?
Bullcrap.
How did we get here?
Can you want to intersperse this with some other stuff or you want to do all?
You know, I really want to get you.
So what I mean, you told me to get him out of the way.
Get him out of the way.
Let's do another audition.
Tick tock.
Another audition.
This should be on The Gong Show.
That's great.
I'm sorry.
It's all my friends.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
I'm scared of this man.
I am.
And I don't say a word to you all because I try to keep politics out of my friendships because I don't want my beliefs and your beliefs to mess up our friendship.
Because that's something that I really like.
This man scares the shit out of me and now he's the president.
Oh, my God.
Oh, move along, Missy.
A rare sound effect insert.
Very nice.
Very rare.
Now, this one, the only one I believe is somewhat sincere is this self-absorbed woman.
I believe she's sincere.
I don't believe it was acting and she's full of herself and she thinks she's God's gift to men.
and you don't have to play, well, it's only a minute, but she's gonna, this is the most arrogant of the triple here.
This is all a prank, right?
Like, we're just gonna wake up tomorrow morning and everything's gonna go back to the way it all, it'll be a psych, it'll be like a really bad dream and none of this will ever happen, right?
Like, it'll be like the first time and we're all gonna pull through fine in four years.
Correct?
Please, someone tell me.
I can tell you one thing right now, marriage is the farthest.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, was that an edit?
She just, all of a sudden, she just woke up.
She edited herself.
Oh, okay.
Through fine in four years.
Correct?
Please, someone tell me.
I can tell you one thing right now, marriage is the farthest thing from on the table currently.
So they really, they screwed the pooch on that one if they thought that any of this was gonna actually help with the whole family and kids department.
A little change of attitude here.
And lowering birth rates because that, no, not even.
Any semblance of thoughts I had or hope for that is completely gonna be a no thanks for me, love.
You think I would ever even dare bring a child into this country now?
It was rough before.
Now, no, that's cute.
And the men, don't even, no.
Don't even get me started about dating, but think, I was still entertaining a few moderates here and there sometimes.
No, honey, no, not even close.
That's never, goodbye.
Was she cute?
Was she worth dating?
No, she's mediocre looking at best.
She's not unattractive, but she's not some hottie that she thinks she is.
So I wanna finish with this though, because you had given me crap last show when I played one of these clips and you felt sorry for the girl that I was ridiculing and I took it to heart.
Hold on, I never felt sorry for the girl you were ridiculing.
I felt sorry for the listeners who can't see what you're talking about.
No, you were thinking, you felt sorry for the woman you thought she was.
Oh, I don't remember, but okay, maybe it's true.
No, I can assure you because I have a clip from Alex Jones, which is kind of in the same vein.
And Jones, who doesn't look very good on his TikTok channel.
He's on TikTok?
No, I'm sorry, he's on his X channel.
Oh, yeah.
But he just doesn't, he looks like, I don't know what he looks, he doesn't look good.
But he played a bunch of these, the best clips, which you do have to see, like the black chick that's gone nuts in her car and those things.
People can find these on X.
But he plays a bunch of them.
Then he does a little, this is a one minute, an eight second clip, it's called Meltdowns Jones.
And he has basically the same lecture that I have to now accept as probably the right attitude.
We're about to show you some more of the latest complete meltdowns and freakouts by leftists here in the United States because they think the second coming of Hitler has come with President Trump being reelected for the third time to be the 47th president of the United States.
They have Stockholm syndrome.
They love the establishment.
They love their abusers.
They think that they're the mavericks, the underdogs, the rebels.
But conservatives and populists who are making fun of them need to understand that these people were brought up in this culture.
They were set in front of the television by their parents.
They were then brainwashed by the educational system.
And these are fellow Americans who we lost to the brainwashing.
And so I really don't think it's a laughing matter, even though I certainly understand it's hilarious.
Yes, you're right.
But when you understand how truly illiterate these people are on just how culture and systems work, they have no street smarts, you understand that it is the process that has been rolled out of social engineering that has allowed this.
You're correct, I remember now.
It was a clip about the girl who said she lost her dad to Fox News and Trump.
Right, yeah.
Yes, well, Jones, I agree with him here, that we're all high...
My phone has been, as they say, blowing up with memes of...
I haven't got one call on my show.
It's not even on, come on.
And people aren't calling me with the memes, they're texting me with the memes.
So yes, and you know what?
This is what occurred to me.
So this whole thing...
Well, hold on, I'll get to that in a moment.
Firstly, let's get to some professional people who are responsible, partially, if not very much responsible for this trauma.
It is true trauma that has been bestowed upon these people, particularly younger people.
And let's just start with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who immediately had to weigh in and throw some more fear on top of it.
Remember, she's the one that, I think it was eight years, how many years has she been in Congress?
She been in there six years?
I think she's been in only about four.
Okay, well, four years ago, she said, we only have 12 years until we all die.
Right, no, she actually had the date.
Well, I mean, yeah, it was the calculation.
She had the year.
And from climate change, we're going to die.
And she was on stage with that hoity-toity writer, what's his name?
The black guy, the, he's a weird.
Let me think, a hoity-toity black guy.
Not Van Jones, no.
The guy who writes all the books that all the Upper East Side is all happy about.
It doesn't really matter.
I guess not.
No, I can't remember.
I'm looking at the troll room, like, help me out.
Troll room's going.
Help me out.
Trolls!
Please.
Troll room's going, I don't know, you know.
I don't know.
You know, the guy, it's the guy.
All right, here's AOC.
We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives.
We cannot give up.
We now find ourselves in a time in history that has precedent.
And we find ourselves, I believe, in a time where there are, let's say, peers in history of mass movements of people that mobilize to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism.
And this is the era that we are poised to enter.
Donald Trump has talked about turning the military on U.S. citizens that he deems his domestic political enemies.
There's 25 seconds left, but I have a feeling she might actually believe that to a certain degree.
I think she does, and I think the Van Joneses do, and I think that Capehart does, and all these guys.
I don't have any clips from them.
I mean, I have actual- Hold on, hold on, let me finish with her.
Let me finish with her.
No, I'm just gonna say, I just have analysis clips that I think are accurate, but you're right.
These people, and there's lots of them, and they're all on MSNBC, and there's a couple in Congress, she's one of them, all believe this.
Authoritarians and people that he affiliates closely with and strongmen abroad in regimes like that, it is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.
This is the world that we very realistically may be entering.
Maybe very realistically are entering.
Okay, so- Maybe, yeah, we may really, maybe, maybe, maybe.
So let's- I mean, come on.
Let's stick with the strongmen abroad for a second.
The strongmen abroad.
Who was the strongmen abroad?
Oh, that could only be Putin.
And right on cue- Or Orban.
Well, of course, but he, you know, come on.
I mean, don't you understand about Putin's stronghold on Trump?
Because Bob Woodward certainly does.
I know recently you said that the foreign president is far worse than Richard Nixon.
Obviously, a majority of voters were not concerned.
I'm wondering what you thought last night as you watched the results come in.
What do you think of where we're at right now?
Well, it's the functioning of democracy.
So he's president-elect.
There are lots of things to watch in what will be the new Trump administration.
I just wanna cite one of them, and that is the relationship Trump has with Putin, the Russian leader.
I talked a couple of months ago to Dan Coats, the former director of national intelligence under Trump, and I said, what's going on in this relationship between Trump and Putin?
And Dan Coats said, it's almost, it's so close, it seems like it might be blackmail.
CIA director Bill Burns said, Putin manipulates.
He's professionally trained to do that.
Putin's got a plan just to be, just to do this exactly when Trump, and it's what he did when Trump was in office previously, and he's planning it again.
Putin!
He's planning it again.
It's what he did the last- What while Trump was in office?
He did it.
Don't you know he did it?
He did what?
He did it?
When Trump was in office, what did he do?
He blackmailed Trump and had him dance into his pipes.
And then Trump did what?
He did everything he wanted him to do.
Don't you know that?
Todd Nahisi Coats is the guy I was thinking of.
Oh yeah, that name comes to mind.
All right, one more professional crybaby, and then we need to get to some analysis because people come here for analysis, but we're doing our own little version of spiking the ball.
While you're doing that, our version of spiking the ball is a lot more sensible than anybody else's.
It may be disappointing to the troll room who's expecting vitriol, but we don't have it.
Well, a little bit of vitriol- I do have a lot of thoughts on the matter, but we'll get to those.
A little bit of vitriol for Jimmy Kimmel.
As you remember, two shows ago, he had a sit-down interview, and he didn't know what he was going to say the next, I can't even think about what I'm gonna say if Trump wins.
It's not going to win, so I don't have to worry about, I'm thinking about what I'm gonna say when Kamala wins, and well, of course, he had to say something.
Let's be honest.
It was a terrible night last night.
It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who make this country go, for healthcare, for our climate, for science, science, for journalism.
Journalism!
For justice, for free speech.
It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors, for relying on social security, for our allies in Ukraine.
NATO!
For NATO, for the troops.
NATO.
And democracy and decency, and it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what?
It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too.
You just don't realize it yet.
And most of all, he's choking back the tears.
It was very, very difficult for Jimmy.
He's pathetic.
Very difficult.
Now, I wanna hear some analysis.
I want you to go first.
But wait, since you're on this track, I do have a couple of things I wanna play.
First, I wanna play the dank Brandon clip.
You've heard this.
This is Biden.
Everyone thought this, I wasn't- You didn't like, you didn't think this was funny.
I mean, it's like, okay.
This to me was a version of, oh, look at this, so cool.
It's an AI of Biden.
Like, I'm kind of over it, but yeah.
My fellow Americans and autists who voted for Trump, it's your boy Dank Brandon here.
I wanna take a moment to congratulate the DNC on losing another election to Donald Trump.
He replaced me with a candidate who has the same likability as Greasy, hobo-tainted and expected to win, and they say I'm the retarded one.
The Democrats said that I was too old, that I was too slow, that I was a joke.
Well, here's a joke for you.
What do Willie Brown and the 2024 presidential election have in common?
Kamala Harris blew both of them.
I shouldn't have said that.
But seriously, I mean, first Hillary loses to Donald and now Kamala.
This man has beaten more women than Doug Emhoff.
Anyways, congrats on losing to Hitler again.
I hope he locked you all up this time.
Dank Brandon out.
I think- That's AI?
I think reality is much funnier.
This to me is like, okay, is that what, see, look at what, Wall Street is investing $150 billion to come up with that?
Please, it sucks.
It's no good.
That you brought up the investment.
I have- And the timing is funny.
It's not funny.
It wasn't all that funny.
I thought it was funny.
You didn't think it was funny.
I have a couple, one more clip of, that's AI that I should play.
And then we'll be done with that.
But first, we played a clip from Cardi B from last show.
Yes.
Which I do have this clip.
It's only 40 seconds.
You've want to play it again.
Which is Cardi B for Kamala.
Yes, I do have it here.
I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth.
She's passionate.
She's compassionate.
She shows empathy.
And most of all, she is not delusional.
Yeah.
Kamala recognize that this country is at risk.
That the economy needs to get stronger.
That the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.
Damn, it's even high for me.
Okay, stop it, stop it.
If I recall, you said she's probably on the Diddy tapes.
Yes, I'm convinced of it.
Okay, all right.
Now, somebody ran it through a filter.
And this is a pretty funny filter.
I'd like to find out what this is.
But play this version of the same clip that was run through the filter.
This is Cardi, Better Business Bureau.
I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth.
She's passionate.
She's compassionate.
She shows empathy.
And most of all, she is not delusional.
Yeah.
Kamala recognize that this country is at risk.
That the economy needs to get stronger.
That the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.
Damn, it's even high for me.
I believe her when she says, under her, buying eggs and milk won't break the bank.
Because she's gonna pass a ban on price dodging on groceries.
And she told me that in my face.
So she better not lie to me in my face.
You know, it sounds like Cartman from the South.
Honestly, John.
It does a little bit, you're right.
I don't think it's that funny.
I just don't.
Well, I know, you're just seem to think nothing's funny, but that's okay.
You're turning into a Democrat.
So I have to be insulted, sorry.
I will be quick to listen, slow to speak and even slower to get angry.
Well, if you wanna listen slow, I do have Kamala's part of her, the beginning of her concession speech.
Now I have to say that just to be transparent, I used the tempo filter.
Oh God, this isn't, you're pissing me off now.
It's like, you are a crazy right wing nut job at this point.
Why?
You're spiking the ball.
I wanna get to some analysis.
I'm waiting patiently.
Okay, we're gonna skip that.
We're gonna skip that, which is hilarious.
No, now we're playing it.
Now we're playing it for sure.
I want to hear what you think is, oh, it's not that funny.
Oh, okay, it's not that funny.
All right.
Allow me to play my Kamala Harris concession speech synced up to Hillary Clinton's concession speech.
The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for.
This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for.
Earlier today, I spoke with president-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.
I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition.
Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country.
Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background.
We've spent a year and a half bringing together millions of people from every corner of our country to say with one voice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone.
To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it's gonna be okay.
To the young people in particular, I hope you will hear this.
On the campaign, I would often say, when we fight, we win.
But here's the thing, here's the thing.
Sometimes the fight takes a while.
That doesn't mean we won't win.
This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it.
So they're basically the same person with the same concession.
No, the same speech writer.
Who do you think it was?
Favreau.
Oh yeah, you're right, of course Favreau.
Favreau.
I just wanna say something, I wanna get to your analysis.
And by the way, that is so pathetic that they would, it is a copy of Hillary's speech and everything that Kamala did was a derivative of something somebody else did.
She was the most unoriginal person ever to run for the office and they wonder why she lost.
The public really, at some level, not the whole public, most people, a lot of people still vote, just they vote party line, they don't care.
But there's enough people that notice.
She was not intended to win, we knew that.
We had already agreed, both you and I, that Trump is supposed to win 2027, the big China thing.
But you gotta make it look good.
Oh yeah, well Kamala was the right person to make it look good.
I mean, I think some of the, they're down a little bit today, but we had the defense stocks were reasonably happy, the whole stock market was happy.
You know, the Fed will be lowering interest rates today.
Hey, that's gonna be nice.
But here's what occurred to me.
What happened here is, it's like a movie.
We as Americans are trained to have our hero, if we're watching the movie, almost die in the fight.
You know, get shot, but he comes through in the end in victory, it's like die hard.
So right now, we're all high-fiving as we walk out of the movie theater during the credit roll.
You know, that's what's happening on social media.
Yeah, yeah, great, and then we're gonna go back to our lives and like, Trump's gonna fix it, Bruce Willis is gonna take care of it, the asteroid's not gonna hit us.
But this is really, if you're serious about it, the beginning of change.
Ooh, hoping change.
Yes, and everyone, oh, Elon, RFK Jr., whoo!
Yes, if you're gonna be the Elon in your own community and strip out the waste and fraud that's going on and be RFK Jr. and make sure your kids aren't eating crap, then, then it's a good thing.
I'm very worried about people just falling back and go, okay, that's good, let's post some memes, let's post some memes, man, because Trump won, Trump won.
There's nothing wrong with posting memes.
And here's a serious question I have, and I'm sure you'll have an answer.
But what about your neighbor who has the Harris-Waltz yard sign?
What do you do?
Do you just, do you even look at him?
Do you go over and say, hey, you wanna have a drink?
Or do you just pray for him, or what do you do?
Can I say something that's kind of an interesting observation?
Yeah.
I'm in the Berkeley area.
Yes.
I have not seen, except in the back of a pickup truck, I have not seen one Harris-Waltz lawn sign ever.
Really, really?
In the entire campaign.
There was plenty of Biden ones, because I collected a couple of them.
And there were Hillary ones, and there was plenty of Hillary ones.
Did you collect them from people's yards?
You radical, you?
One was in a big empty field.
You radical.
And I waited until after the election, and I grabbed it, and I saved it.
And there was plenty of signs, even from Bernie and all the rest of them.
But for this election cycle, I have not seen one single sign anywhere.
Well, we have them in Fredericksburg.
And I'm just wondering what people are gonna do.
Are you just gonna walk by and ignore your neighbor?
Or are you gonna say, you know, maybe we should just have a chat or something?
You know, that piece is not solved.
Okay, what would you recommend?
Because the way I see it, it's none of my business.
If they wanted walls of the balls and Harris, okay, it's their privilege.
I'm not gonna talk to them like a Jehovah's Witness.
Well, I don't think it's like a Jehovah's Witness.
I think if you bump into your neighbor, here's what I would say.
If I bump into, and we don't have one in our street, but I know further up there's one.
I'd say, hey, there's one.
In Fredericksburg, there's actually quite a few Democrats with the yard signs.
I'd say, hey, just so you know, I know you voted for Harris Walls.
I voted for Trump.
Just want you to know, we will be watching.
We'll be making sure that he doesn't screw things up.
Just, you gotta make someone feel good.
Paul, they'd be watching their house.
I'm watching you.
I got you under fire.
I got eyes on you, dude.
Something, something, you know, we have to extend.
Anyway, I have another thing.
I'm remembering what happened before this election.
And I want to call out a couple of culture war, economy fear mongers for the bull crap, sigh up that you put people through, my neighbors.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're not on this list.
What did I say?
You said you.
I said a couple of people I want to call you out.
Not you, them.
I'm calling them out.
So the people I'm about to name, I'm calling you out.
That's not you, John.
Culture war, economy fear mongers who did this for attention, for views, for clickbait revenue generators.
And I'm going to say it was the grids going down.
We're going to be under martial law, military aids, Chinese men forming an army.
We're going to have blue helmets, UN forces, Venezuelan gangs with orders to shoot law enforcement.
What?
Hold on.
This was, I was actually, instead of doing the bit I did at the beginning of the show about leaving the country, that was the one I was going to bring up, which was, and I actually kind of forgot until you just brought it up.
Yes.
Well, let me give you a list of people because I've kept track of people who were propagating this over and over and over again.
They should be called out.
This is ridiculous.
Dan Bongino, Tim Pool, Sean Ryan, Alex Jones, Patrick Bet-David, Mike Benz, my neighbor, Laura, Phil Waldron, Clayton and Natalie Morris, Monkey Works, Colonel McGregor.
Oh yeah, haven't forgotten Colonel McGregor.
I don't think we'll ever get to the 2024 election.
I think things are going to implode in Washington before then.
Okay, thank you.
General Flynn is on my list, Scott Ritter, and of course, everyone's favorite, Naomi Wolf.
I know that we're going to see, and they're signaling it, you know, we're not going to have an accurate count of the election.
Almost all the battleground states, if not all of them, have signaled that it's going to be four days, and you know what they're going to do.
They're going to say, it's going to be four days.
It's going to be five days.
It's going to be six days.
It's going to be two weeks.
We don't have an accurate count.
Oh no, we have no electricity.
We can't count the ballots.
They're electronic machines, right?
The electricity is down.
I mean, we are this close to that, and then what I- Now, the only one I'll give some, actually, I'll give Laura a little bit of grace.
I'll give Naomi Wolf some grace on this because of their former defense intelligence spouses, but I just want us to be aware that they will continue to do this, and when I say they, it's military.
You got the right, you have the laundry list.
You have the usual suspects.
That list is the list.
And there's probably a few I've forgotten, but, and even the- Adam Lader.
What's the guy's name?
Phil Waldron.
He was fear-mongering to like a group of 100 pastors that this was going to happen.
Make sure your churches have food and water, and this is a military psyop, and I think this is where Q comes from all of this stuff.
In order to, because when you have fear, and a lot of women here were very, very fearful, and they're on text groups, and Tina's in an apartment, and I'd tell her, text them.
Has the grid gone down yet?
To get a laugh, you know, just to loosen them up, to loosen them up, and so I'm not mad at them.
I'm not really mad at Naomi or Laura Logan because I know that they're getting it, and it's coming from the military or the military-industrial complex.
It's military intelligence-induced, and they're doing it to put the fear into you, and in this case, it was vote Trump, you know, and it'll be something else in the future.
They will continue to do this.
The Chinese are in, they're buying up all the land next to the bases.
They're flying drones everywhere.
They're doing this to invoke fear, and then when you're fearful, then whatever message they give you, and it's always packed in there.
It's yes, and you're going to follow orders, so.
Yes, this is, we can stop the show right now.
That exposition right there is one of the most important things our listeners and producers should pay attention to because that's exactly right, and the names you named, I'd almost ask you to name them again, but skip it, are the names of the guys that should be ashamed of themselves for taking part in this PSYOP.
And I've, you know, in the previous election, I've fallen to some of the, as you call them, micro dots and stuff like that.
Oh yeah, you did.
You fell into the micro dot, the micro quantum dot.
And where did it come from?
Steve Pachanik, military intelligence.
It always comes from the same place, and he seemed to be all in on it as well.
So he embarrassed himself on the Alex Jones show.
So we have to be wary of this, just as we told you to calm down before the election.
Don't worry about it.
It's not going to happen.
We're not all going to die.
The vote will happen.
The vote- Grid's going down.
The grid is good.
It's funny.
I was actually posting on X, is the grid down yet?
It's the grid down yet.
And most people got it.
You know, some people are like, there's a power outage in Los Angeles.
Oh, that'll matter for the vote.
I had a clip.
I didn't get this clip, but it was a clip, a local clip, which I could have edited it just right, but it was a clip about the power grid actually going down because there's a windstorm in Northern California and they have to shut the power off.
And it was just borderline enough that it would have been funny.
There's one other expo I'd like to do, because I think this is important for us, it's important for our producers, and it is very telling of the times.
And this is the, and I'm gonna call it the serious media reaction.
So not MSNBC, Fox, and CNN, who are on the way.
I saw Greg Gutfeld last night, Tina turned it on, and he had a, and you're right, his opening monologue, he had a good series of funny jokes, but then he starts talking about the mainstream media.
Dude, read the room, you are the mainstream media.
We watched it last, Mimi and I watched it, and we noticed that he had a series of gags at the beginning that were obviously the writers' room going nuts.
And they were funny.
And they were funny, and they went one after the other after the other after that.
If anyone can go back and watch the Gutfeld show from last night, just the opening monologue where he does the jokes, they're very funny, but you could just see it, because I don't know personally, but I know who the writers are.
They don't list them.
This is the funny thing about today's media.
In some shows, especially on Fox, they won't list the people because they get poached.
Of course.
Because I don't think Fox pays top dollar, and I think other people can get these guys cheaper.
Well, but then he's talking about, oh, the mainstream this, the mainstream that.
No, it's done, it's done, it's cooked.
But he is the mainstream, and you're on the number one late night guy.
Yeah.
But people are cutting the cord, and the carriage fees are going down.
We've seen, the writing is on the wall.
It's been going on for a long time.
Yeah, he should move to a podcast right away, because that is the future.
As per CBS News, listen to this.
Do you think his appearance on Joe Rogan's popular podcast helped cement him with this new coalition of Republican voters?
Well, if we're thinking about that coalition as containing young white men under 30, it also contains young Latino men and young black men, but he did particularly well among young white voters under 30.
I think it's Joe Rogan.
I think it's all the podcasts that he went on, and his general aspect and response to kind of the norms and the fussiness of elites and experts and all of that, which has been his thorough message for years.
2008 was the YouTube election, right?
And the blog election.
This was clearly the podcast election.
And by fussiness of the elites, do you mean fact-checking by people who do what we do for a living?
Yeah, oh, absolutely.
I mean, absolutely, you know, and it's- Thank you for the clarification, Margaret.
Yeah.
No, it's an important- It's an important point, because it's just direct to consumer, put it right in your vein, messaging, whatever you want to say.
Right, I mean, there used to be, you had to clear a threshold of, you know, 60 minutes.
He didn't do 60 minutes, but he did the podcast that fed right into this constituency.
I can so remember carring George W.
Bush, who would say, you guys are just the filter.
And Donald Trump has found a way to surpass the filter.
And as you said, just get directly into the veins of his supporters.
We have more to discuss.
You're watching CBS News, America Decides.
Election 2020.
So Donald Trump has found a way to get around the filter.
Now, they are very troubled by this development.
Yeah, well, they're fooling themselves.
This is bull crap.
And I, since you want me to do some analysis stuff- I wasn't quite finished, but if- I have one that fits right into what you just did.
Okay.
Unless you have more, you wanna, if you wanna go back to the podcast and pound it home more about the young voters, because it was Jessica Tarlott, the Democrat on The Five, who I think just nailed it and had nothing to do with podcasts or anything else.
Thought about the American people, Jessica, and they didn't pay attention to the numbers.
It's seven out of 10 thought country was headed in the wrong direction.
And Beyonce and Taylor Swift and all of them weren't enough to change their minds.
Yeah, I don't, I don't think the celebrity stuff mattered in this.
I really do think it was just the fundamentals.
Like it was the right track, wrong track.
It was, do you feel better off than, you know, for today than you were four years ago, et cetera.
And that's what people went and voted on.
The question of the permanence of the coalition is an interesting one, because Donald Trump is an anomalous person on every level.
And people who might not necessarily like some of the things that he says, have it in their minds.
Like, well, he's not really gonna do that.
Or we know that Donald Trump was pro-choice for most of his life.
Now he's the leader of the Republican party.
He is definitely taking a pro-life position, but I've spoken to many people who say that they don't think that he's someone who would ever favor a national abortion ban, for instance, because he's someone who has this kind of background.
And that allows him to weave, as he would say, between these different communities.
So do the, does the bro vote continue to turn out?
I'm not really sure.
But one thing that I think is interesting, especially since the Harris campaign began as the joy candidacy, is that you see a lot of people, especially younger people, and he did really well with 18 to 24 year olds, especially men, that they felt like it doesn't have to be that serious.
And you guys always say this to me, like liberals take everything as like life or death, right?
Like we're not gonna have a climate, or we're not gonna be able to get up tomorrow.
And I think that people showed up and just said, I might not even really like him, but I don't wanna be told the sky is falling every single day for the next four years.
I think that's a very good assertion she makes.
It's the best she's ever done.
I mean, she's normally just combative on that show, but she's actually an analyst for, or a Democrat strategist, and she nails it.
I think it was just, I don't wanna be lectured to for the next four years about any of this crap, let's put this guy in, for the younger voters, because they're sick of it.
And it's got nothing to do with being on, Rogan's people aren't gonna base anything, they're voting on that show.
But what I'm going to show you is it has nothing to do with podcasts.
You don't have to show me, I'm totally convinced it's got nothing to do with podcasts, but I think it's funny that they're panicked about it though, which gives podcasts a good name.
The panic is much worse and much, much deeper.
NPR, one of my favorite hate listens is on the media.
Where they talk about the media.
So they talk about themselves.
And you can imagine that Brooke and Micah, and now Katya, who is their producer, were very distraught about Trump winning.
They had an entire show all ready to go, set up to talk about how Trump was going to try and overturn the vote, how the legal process was going to work, will they storm the Capitol again?
They were convinced Harris was going to win.
And so what they did, and this is what's so nice about it, they were completely themselves.
And they decided to do an emergency pod.
Oh!
An emergency pod of them discussing what had happened, why it had happened, and what they are going to do.
Here's the producer Katya.
Hi everyone, this is Katya, executive producer of On The Media.
I said to Micah and Brooke last week, let's gather Wednesday morning and talk about our immediate reflections and thoughts following the election Tuesday night.
We did the same in 2016, it was an experiment for us.
I wanted to kind of recreate that.
And we wondered what we were going to talk about, probably something about the Trump campaign accusing states of ceding votes or rigging the election, maybe something about how Fox News and others were spreading conspiracy theories.
We did not expect this outcome.
So the following conversation happened with no press.
Okay, stop, stop.
Right there, you have to, this is the part where people have got to say to themselves, what, wait, you didn't, what were you expecting?
And why were you so cocksure?
And why am I listening to you if you're this wrong?
This reminds me of the 2016 moments where David Brooks kept going on PBS News Hour going, oh, he's, Trump, oh, he can get, 30% is the most he's ever gonna get because that's a kind of a threshold, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, he's never gonna win.
And all the other people.
Why are we listening to people that are this inaccurate?
But we're not, that's the point.
We're not, we're not.
No, we're not, but why is the public at large?
No, no, ah, ah, the public at large is not listening.
And this, what you're about to hear is the self-realization of these people realizing that they're not talking to anybody except themselves.
That's the point.
Let's not talk.
Do they realize, okay.
Do they realize this though?
Do they realize that they're no good at their job?
No, of course not.
Okay.
No, no.
Let's not talk unless we're ready to record.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
We're recording, we're recording, don't you worry.
Oh, we are, okay.
So Kat, you threw up all night?
I did, I slept on the bathroom floor for a couple of hours.
It was a bug.
That's the executive producer was throwing up all night.
Maybe it wasn't.
Oh my God.
So we need to think about this week.
I imagine that everybody is pretty darn tired, even on the Trump side.
And then there are things that people are gonna try to explain.
And I wanna make sure that we stay away from that.
Like what did the campaign do wrong?
And this is what we all said the last time.
There's something going on that those of us on the coasts don't understand.
And I can't help but feel it all boils down in the end to the bubbles we're all in.
And the fact that the, that a great many Americans aren't familiar with the facts.
You said that there are obviously some, there are many Americans who don't know the facts that have been reported repeatedly by the media.
The fact checks, the questions about Trump's policies, reporting on his last administration, all of that seems to either have been memory holds or not reached people.
And I guess, Brooke, does that just mean that the media is fundamentally broken?
So now notice what they're saying here.
We've been telling you the truth.
We've been fact-checking all the lies, but people aren't hearing us.
And 20 years ago, this little thing, and this is part of it, podcasting, but also social media, the internet in general, has disintermediated what these people are.
And they're still on radio and they're still in this, they're living in Brooklyn thinking, I'm on NPR, everybody's listening to me.
And it was a very important voices all from the coasts.
I think the most important thing you said that they're living in Brooklyn.
Correct.
Now, Brooke actually realizes what is truly broken.
I think the media delivery system has a great deal wrong with it.
And I think probably the mainstream or legacy media or wherever you wanna fit us in still has a comprehension problem.
We keep trying to understand.
I remember when Bush was elected and there were a lot of evangelicals in that case the first time.
Oh, it's the evangelicals now.
We were going, wow, this was happening beneath the service.
We didn't even know, but we should have known this time.
And we still don't know.
I don't know.
What did we not know?
I guess I'm confused.
Because a lot of the debates that we had on the show were about whether journalists took the threat of Donald Trump seriously and conveyed it clearly.
We weren't talking so much about reaching people who had tuned out the media.
I mean, right?
That's almost a separate topic altogether.
I don't know that it is, Micah.
I mean, I think it's the same topic.
Who are you conveying this stuff clearly to?
The entire nation, hopefully.
But of course we know we don't speak to the entire nation.
No one does anymore.
So we do a damn fine job of talking to ourselves.
Oh, talking to ourselves.
This is some amazing self-realization.
She's like, no one's listening to us.
That's how you could translate.
This is important because I think this conversation is going on at the New York Times, at the Washington Post.
By the way, this is a smugness that underlies this discussion.
That is, the arrogance is, and I hate to use the word palpable, but I'm gonna do it.
The arrogance is that you can sense it, you can feel it.
These people are just not good people.
Listen to this.
I guess what I'm getting at then is if you think that enough of the stakes were conveyed by the end of the election and still this was the outcome, does that mean that mainstream media is irrelevant?
That it is incapable of conveying a basic message?
I think that they didn't do a great job.
We critiqued on this show the double standards, the false equivalencies, but in terms of the stakes, I think by the end they were doing a really good job.
The fact is is that it was in an echo chamber.
She gets it, but these other people don't.
They're like, well, but we did all the work.
We did good reporting, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then the executive producer, Katya, who's been puking all night, maybe from a bug, maybe not, all of a sudden she's like, oh yeah, maybe that's what we messed up.
I wonder if some of this is, remember when we did the show a few weeks ago about what was gonna happen with the vote in all these different counties?
And we did three interviews in a row and the last question was, what can we do?
And the final answer was like local media, local media, local media, go local, go local, go local.
Maybe there's something to be said for this is kind of the end game of the loss of local media that people don't wanna be talked to from on high from New York.
I love this idea and I think it really rings true.
I think people do wanna hear from the people who live in their community and the local news business has been devastated.
People's habits have changed.
I mean, a lot of younger people are not watching their local TV stations or not paying for their local newspaper.
There are still communities with access to local news but people are on YouTube, they're on TikTok, they're listening to podcasts, right?
They have just chosen other personalities, they've chosen other people, journalists or those who LARP as journalists to choose their information.
There's no news monoculture left, that is dead.
Same thing that CBS is saying, we're supposed to be the guys, we're supposed to tell you and as a media deconstructionist, you took away your local stations because the business model was failing, it's too expensive, you're too expensive with your 35 people on your productions and you took away all the local NPR stations, they barely have local programming anymore.
And yeah, that's right, newspapers are gone too because it's moved to the internet.
By the way, if you ever wanna start a podcast, my advice is do one for your town, you'll be very successful at that.
That's what Mimi's doing with Podangelist.
Yes, and that is a very good idea.
The future of media is hyper-local and you will be able to support yourself, I'm convinced of it.
Now, now we get to the point where it's so bad that Katja, the executive producer is breaking down.
It's just how do we cover, how do we filter stories?
What's our frame?
Like that's, I remember I said exactly that.
What's our, I'm certain we'll find our correct, I didn't even listen back to the 2016 pod we did but the day after, but I remember saying, I feel confident that we'll find the right frame and we'll be able to tell this story well.
And honestly, if this isn't a realignment, if this is as dramatic as it feels, I'm not even sure what the frame is now.
Well, I think we can't, we can't know.
I think we have to take it day by day.
I love when you say that, I love when you say that.
No, no, listen, listen, don't laugh over it because here it comes.
I think we can't, we can't know.
I think we have to take it day by day.
I love when you say that, I love when you say that.
We're literally listening.
She's crying, what?
She is breaking down in tears, not because people aren't getting news.
She doesn't know what the frame is.
She's breaking down as the executive producer because she knows her career is limited.
That's why she's crying.
Oh my God, it's over.
Our job is over.
No one cares about us anymore.
And she's right.
Well, I think we can't, we can't know.
I think we have to take it day by day.
I love when you say that, I love when you say that.
We're literally history.
We don't have a roadmap, but we never have.
I mean, the show has changed so much.
When, you know, Bush v.
Gore happened, we've just seen lots and lots of changes.
I think in the end, we, we keep talking about the messages that are out there, how they get out there, and hope that we can make a contribution.
So Brooke is trying to take the high road here.
Like we make a contract, she must be set for life.
She must have a pension, whatever.
She doesn't care.
Go to a rich husband.
Yeah, oh, there you go.
I don't know, she may be a lesbian, I'm not sure.
A rich husband.
Rich husband.
Okay, two more and then I'm done.
So Micah.
Hold on a second, I'm gonna interrupt here.
Yeah, please.
To compound the arrogance, to do a show like this, when it's a produced show that normally has information, this is like us getting out of our formula and not doing clips anymore, but just talking to each other as though we're bros or something like that.
And saying, I think a lot.
Yeah, and say, I think, I think, I think.
This is the laziest thing you could possibly do.
They could actually do a real show and bring some of the same stuff out without having to do this cheap ass confessional thing, which is not interesting.
I'm surprised you got through it.
It's pathetic.
And what they keep saying, and for national public radio, our national treasure, they keep bringing up, the same with CBS, they keep bringing up with Bush v.
Gore, Bush v.
Gore, because they're Democrats.
You're not a journalist, you're a Democrat.
You're a Democrat operative, which is fine, but don't give me hoity-toity, like, whoa, what frame do we put in?
How do we give people the right information?
You are biased.
You're biased, you're corrupted, and you don't even realize it.
The Mika guy, Mika guy, he's not desperate yet because he thinks, I'm younger than these two old turds.
I could probably go work somewhere.
I can probably get a job on cable network.
He actually will tell you what their actual job is.
This is gonna sound so trivial, but as I was watching the results come in last night, I saw that Mark Robinson lost his race, which, and I thought to myself, maybe journalism still matters a little bit.
Maybe a really good investigative story can really take down a politician.
That's what it's about.
Mark Robinson, the black guy, the radically saved black guy, who they made up all these stories about him, posting about him being a black Nazi on a porn site 20 years ago.
Maybe we still have the capability to bring down a politician.
Yeah, that's what we do here at NPR.
Investigative story can really take down a politician.
Not Donald Trump.
He's impervious, but maybe it's a sign that good information finds its intended audience some of the time.
I know, sorry, that's absolutely pathetic, but yeah.
Hold on a second.
Not Donald Trump, as though he's a target.
He didn't say not Kamala Harris.
No, he said not Donald Trump.
These guys are so biased, and they're blind to it.
And I noticed this, one of the things I did, I don't know if I did, I didn't discuss this in the newsletter, but I didn't get any clips, obviously.
I went to Mastodon, of course, mastodon.social. It's what you do.
It's what you do.
And you start looking at the stuff going on, and it's just like, oh, these people are so pathetic.
They're all operatives, just like you said.
They're all operatives for the Democrat Party.
And then they bitch and moan when things don't go their way.
It's just, it's horrible.
And by the way, this is not unique to America.
This is unique to public broadcasting in general, across the world.
My friend Robert Jensen does this in the Netherlands.
And he used to be, just like me, mainstream guy.
And he left because all the media is, and that's funded by the government.
NPR still gets some funding from the US government.
It's very little.
They get it from underwriters and sponsors or advertising, call it what you want.
It's all part of the leftist system that has taken over our culture, our schools, our medicine, everything, our policing, our justice system.
And they are the propaganda arm.
And they're now realizing, yes, thanks to this little thing called the internet, which, I mean, you and I could go on for days of stories where we told people, hey, you got to get involved in this thing.
Like, we don't need the internet.
MTV, MTV, we've got AOL keywords.
We don't need the internet.
We don't need that.
Yeah, we could go on for days.
We don't need that.
So let's finish this up.
No, I mean, what you've been saying is that we don't serve a purpose anymore.
I don't.
I'm not saying we don't serve a purpose.
I really want to.
How about that?
What you're saying is we don't serve a purpose.
The purpose he talked about, taking down right-wing politicians.
And he says, looks like we only can do one more.
We can only do the black guy in the blue state of North Carolina who got discredited for state help during Hillary Clinton.
You know, they really abused that to stick it to that guy.
And she's saying, we don't matter.
We have no purpose because we can't take down politicians anymore.
They are just saying it.
No, I mean, what you've been saying is that we don't serve a purpose anymore.
I don't.
I'm not saying we don't serve a purpose.
I really want to stress that I think that the need for information, good information is as high as ever.
I think we're all in complete agreement.
The need for great reporting on the upcoming Trump administration is absolutely paramount.
Paramount.
Great.
And, of course, the LARPers, the LARPing reporters, they can't do great information because that's our job.
They can't bypass the filters anymore.
So they capitulate here at the end in this final clip.
It's only 30 seconds.
So what do we do this week?
I think we should talk about Joe Rogan.
There it is.
Oh, my God.
That's certainly something we can do this week.
Didn't Trump call him a hero or the greatest of the great or something like that?
Yeah, I think that his endorsement meant something.
I mean, it's impossible to know if it if it won in the election.
But this is such bullcrap.
His endorsement didn't mean anything on the eve of the election.
The fact that Trump sat there for three and a half hours and was just personable, something you can't be on mainstream because it's all scripted.
You've done pre-interviews.
You know, it's it's time to death.
There's no room.
You cut out little soundbites and snippets to build your own story.
People had an opportunity, not just on Rogan, on Theo Vaughn, on the flagrant podcast, all over the place.
How you know the guy's not they didn't just cut.
You know, yeah, he does says funny, wacky things or not even funny or outrageous.
But in context of a conversation, which is what people were able to see, that is something that you're that you're missing.
You lib Joe douchebags if it won in the election.
But I think Joe Rogan is emblematic of a new media environment that is so potent, that is so easily swayed by Trump's lies.
Thank you.
Hold on a second.
Yes.
It's new.
It's not new.
What Joe Rogan does is old.
It's an old idea.
You sit.
Did Edward R.
Murrow.
I mean, Rogan just has it longer.
And this tedious is three hours of yak, yak, yak.
But there's no.
This reminds me when the Internet first had the print media, you had no.
There was no reason for the upside down pyramid.
In journalism, journalism requires an upside down pyramid, which means all the facts are at the top and it dwindles into less and less important information.
So editors could chop off the bottom and make it fit on a page because it has to be typeset.
And so that disappeared with the Internet.
So people that weren't used to writing in that in the new form, they just ramble forever.
You could go on for days.
You can write page after page.
Nobody cares.
It's just another few bits on the over the net.
Yeah.
But it's not like it's anything.
It's not new.
What would Rogan's do?
He's just doing it.
I have to say he does a good job.
I think he's a good interviewer.
He's not even interviewing people.
He's a conversation.
This is a really good conversation list.
And as we know, people will listen to three hours of a conversation, dude, dude, bro, bro, bro.
It's bro media.
That's what it is.
It's the media.
The broadcast.
That's that's what it is.
It's the bros that are doing it.
No, it's because you left a hole, a hole in the desire for people's media or their consumption that you could turn around a 747.
And it's so obvious that everybody's sick of the you know, yesterday someone asked me to do an interview.
And I did.
I'll do your interview.
And it was amazing.
It was it was an Internet based television show, but they ran it like a television show.
It was like they had a clock on the on the zoom, like counting down how many seconds until the commercial break.
I'm like, I'm never doing this show again.
This is stupid.
I'm reminded of the show.
You see this on YouTube every once in a while where you go to some some it's already been recorded and posted and you go to the to the clip.
People have all seen this.
You go to the clip and it starts 30, 29, 28.
What am I looking at these numbers for in the beginning?
Just cut that out.
Just what is it doing there?
It's just started at the beginning.
That's when they go live and they have a live countdown and then the re yeah, fine.
But then when they post it, they can take that off.
There's no post in YouTube lives.
We don't do that, though.
It builds a sense of urgency.
Oh, I mean, just mark this election, mark this day.
Now they're finally realizing and they will get desperate.
I don't know what kind.
You know, as we say in the old country and cut that and now Mark that out of a cat driven into the corner can make weird jumps.
Yeah.
And and they will be doing weird jumps.
And you can count this if you want.
You can count the W word.
But that is the true trans translation.
I didn't even notice.
I gave up.
I would like to have a guy is keeping track.
So they keep you ahead.
Thank you.
I'm too.
Thank you.
It's 19 to 17.
That's the true translation of the phrase.
And so they are going to go ape shit.
Watch you all of the media and MSNBC, who've now been put into a separate LLC so they can cut that evil cancerous part out of Comcast Universal.
Yeah, they're going to cut it out.
They're going to.
They are all of NBC, not just MSNBC.
The salaries.
First, there'll be job cuts and then the production cuts.
And then they're going to get rid of the people who run around and get coffee for the anchors.
And before you know that, oh, well, you know, your contract's up.
We really got to go from 10 million to a million five.
You know, they're they're over budget all the time.
These people are getting paid way too much money.
They don't have the viewership that we have in so far as listenership is concerned.
They don't know.
They're in the tens, 20s, hundreds, the thousand.
Maybe it's not.
I don't know how they can afford to do these shows and pay this.
There's too much over.
Well, the care is something wrong with the math is bad.
The carriage fees.
And so the final thing I will say is the only thing that is keeping these.
Well, there's two things that is keeping mainstream media alive.
I'm going to leave NPR out of it because they're dead.
They're dead.
They're just dead.
They're dead.
It'll be a source of entertainment for our podcast for four more years.
But they're dead.
They're dead.
It's true.
The fact is, they they're feeders.
They're now feeders.
They're feeders.
They're well, that's that's they're feeding us.
So that's the second part.
The only reason they're relevant is because we play their clips and mainly because people post their clips on X.
And the more people cut the cord because MSNBC has no other way to make money other than through the carriage fees.
Yeah, I'm sure they have advertising, but that it really is a balance.
The carriage fees.
If you have cable, you are paying about a dollar 50 a month for MSNBC, whether you watch it or not.
And I say I implore everyone to cut the cord, get rid of it.
That's the only way to kill this cancerous abscess of society is to get and it'll cut out a lot of things.
It gets rid of a lot of stuff.
And then you'll see the streamers are failing.
A couple are making it, you know, some of these plus outfits.
But most if anything, you put you put a plus on your name, you're failing, you're failing bundle in the NPR bundle bundle.
It's the death knell.
It's done.
And if you want to start a local podcast for your for your town, you can.
And some people take me up on this.
You can email me.
I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
I'll put together a primer.
How you can do it is very simple.
And you don't need to be all professional sounding like Brooke.
You don't need you can just plug in the mic and you can just record and you can post it on RSS feed and people will enjoy it because it's about your own community, your own local town.
There's nothing you will be king of all media in your town.
So we can get some of these analysis clips I've got.
Sure.
I want to start, though, with Katie Hopkins on another feeder, another feeder into the show.
Katie is the British woman who had an LBC show.
I think it was LBC, the London broadcast radio talking or whatever it is.
And she's always been a troublemaker.
She's a big Trump supporter in England.
And I just like to listen to her once in a while because she's pretty nasty.
And here she is complaining or not complaining.
She's congratulating Trump.
No route to victory at all.
Channel 4's coverage was shite when it started and then completely collapsed, leaving the channel having to pay repeat episode of Friends or something because they had no words to speak about the glorious victory of Trump.
And now we have a leader of this country who actively sent over his own teams to try and campaign for Kamala.
And we have a foreign secretary who called the new president of the United States of America some of the worst names under the sun.
So we can look forward to Trump punishing both of them very hard in the near future.
For now, I'm just going to indulge myself in all the tears of all the people who said for all the weeks that they said, oh, it's on a knife edge, it's on a narrow margin.
Well, it looks like Trump won the popular vote.
Looks like he's got the House and the Senate, and it looks like most of the swing states have gone red as well.
And Georgia, by 200,000 votes, I mean, truly, truly one of the best days ever.
Just want to say thank you to all the patriots over in America to let you know that patriots in this country are cheering you on as loudly as we possibly can.
God bless Donald J.
Trump and God bless the United States of America.
I'm glad you brought this clip because I'd like to put some context around Katie Hopkins.
When Dame Astrid and Sir Mark, who are, of course, the grand duchess and grand duke of Japan and all the surrounding islands in the Japan Sea, Sir Mark's, we're just a few months apart in birthday, and some friends of his, are you familiar with Cameo?
Cameo.com?
Go to Cameo.com.
Cameo.com is where you can get a video greeting from celebrities.
And so some of his friends have pitched in- Oh, I have heard it.
You're right.
I have heard it.
Some of his friends had pitched in, and they got a two minute, two minute personal birthday greeting from Katie Hopkins, who sells these for 50 bucks a pop.
Nigel Farage, you can get something from him for 95 bucks.
This is pathetic.
This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.
There's Farage.
I see him.
And when they first came out, they were sending me emails, come on man, join Cameo.
I'm like, this is so sad.
I'm a whore.
You want me to be a whore?
It's totally a whorish thing to do.
It's like, and so I don't care about Katie Hopkins' opinion when she's selling birthday greetings or whatever you want for 50 bucks on Cameo.
It's pathetic.
That is an interesting take.
By the way, I would love to have someone have Nigel Farage congratulate us on our podcast if you want to pay 95 bucks.
You can get all kinds of fun people.
You can get all kinds of cool people.
Wait, Kenny G, wait, Kenny G, Kenny G.
Yeah, I see him.
Kenny G.
What does he cost?
I don't know.
Let's look.
I only see his picture on the musician's cameo.
Oh, Kenny G is 375 bucks, but he'll play a little ditty for you.
Oh, please.
How can Kenny G be $375 and Katie Hopkins is 50?
More people are familiar with Katie Hopkins at this point than Kenny G.
Yeah.
Well, maybe she's doing a turnover business.
We don't know.
Okay.
All right.
So let's go over a couple of these election analysis clips.
Now, I have to set series of them.
I have the basic ones.
I also have some very, I thought some pretty cool analysis that came out of semaphore, which is a.
Let's do the semaphore.
Let's do cool analysis.
Yeah.
Let's do this.
This is the semaphore analysis.
I got three of them.
This is a.
One, two.
Okay.
Let's start with the semaphore analysis.
Trump won.
Shelby Talcott covered the Trump campaign for semaphore and Shelby, you were with president elect Trump and his team in West Palm Beach last night.
What was that like?
Yeah.
The campaign last night went into this, this sort of cautiously optimistic.
And actually, in fact, the data was so good for them and the polling was so good for them compared to prior elections that some of them were a little bit paranoid because they hadn't dealt with being in such a good position compared to 2020 and 2016.
So they were double checking the data, but they were going in feeling pretty good.
And as the night went on in the, and the data started rolling in, I was hearing from campaign aides who were with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and they quickly became, you know, much more confident because it seemed like all the numbers were going more for them than they were for Kamala Harris.
When Trump spoke last night, what did you hear?
Donald Trump sort of, I think in a way he was almost surprised that it was such a decisive victory.
And he took the stage with a number of campaign aides and with his family and he spent some time thanking everybody.
And he said that frankly, this was, I believe the greatest political movement of all time.
There's never been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond.
And he talked a little bit about immigration, which is, you know, a key topic we've heard him talk about before.
He went on sort of a long tangent about Elon Musk.
Kind of a long tangent.
It was a very short, almost untrump-like speech.
And he gave other people the mic.
I don't know what you're thinking.
Mimi and I are watching and saying, when is he going to stop?
I thought it went on forever.
It was 20 minutes.
20 minutes to say thanks and go, you know, party on?
He let Dana White come up.
You had all these different people.
No, he, he, he, he talked.
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
Well, it's fine.
But the clip of the group, all of all the election analysis clips is the next one, which I think is interesting because it's, it's not, this is the only time I've heard it discussed.
It makes nothing but sense about the annoyance the Trump campaign had with the Project 2025 document and the fact that it was like used against him and they were not happy.
You joined us twice on the show to talk about Project 2025.
Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 when he was campaigning, but now he has won.
What are we expecting there?
Yeah, you know, when I talk to Donald Trump's campaign, they sort of hold a grudge against Project 2025 and the people who developed it, which is the Heritage Foundation.
And I've actually been told, and I think this reporting matches what others have been told, is that there's sort of a ban on anyone who was affiliated in any way with Project 2025.
Now, whether that holds, because, you know, listen, Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation, it was a huge project, right?
It was thousands of people were involved in some way or another.
And so to sort of just mass ban all of those people might be very difficult when you're thinking about having to staff an entire upcoming White House.
But there are some grudges because Project 2025, of course, became such a rallying cry for Democrats, and it was successful to an extent.
What?
What did you say that for?
Because it wasn't.
I thought it was.
You thought it was successful?
Yeah, they were bringing it up left and right and everyone's cheering.
Oh, yeah, those bastards.
And they would come up in the conversation when there was a debate.
Project 2025 showed up in the Kamala Harris Trump debate and she threw it in his face.
He had no defense against it.
It was successful as a talking point as they built their entire campaign around it.
Well, that would be a talking point that the Trump campaign didn't need.
Well, didn't hurt him, did it?
It's kind of.
You don't know that.
Well, is he president?
Yes, but he could have been, you know, he could have rolled over, rolled over New Jersey for all we know.
Dude, I lived in New Jersey for 12 years.
Don't worry about it.
He brought it down from a double digits to five points.
It wasn't.
It was pretty close.
I mean, Trump did get the popular vote, which I had some thoughts about if we get into that.
But I thought that he was I think Trump's team is correct into banishing and banning and blackballing anybody involved with Project 2025.
I agree with that.
I agree.
OK, well, that was I've never heard this before, so I thought it was interesting to hear it from this woman.
Here's the last clip from her.
You know, I do think that Donald Trump's campaign this time around has been one of the more organized campaigns that he's run now.
Is that saying that it was the most organized campaign or that you did not have the candidate going off of going off script and complicating things for his campaigning?
I'm sorry.
What happened there?
Did they just decide to put music under all of us?
Yes.
Oh, I'll back it up a bit.
That just startled me.
I didn't know if something was going on.
It's just ridiculous.
This is the way the NPR, you know, maybe they think, oh, maybe musical make people listen.
Is this NPR?
Yeah.
Oh, I understand.
This is a bloonk bloonk.
I'm getting paid to edit something.
He's run.
Now, is that saying that it was the most organized campaign or that you did not have the candidate going off of going off script and complicating things for his campaign needs?
No, he Donald Trump certainly did that.
But I think the biggest thing is that he had more experienced people this time around who have been there, done that.
And I think that that sort of is representative of how he could approach the next four years is when he got into office in 2016.
He surrounded himself with a lot of people who weren't necessarily experienced in office.
Now you have people potentially returning like Stephen Miller, who is big on the immigration stuff, who has been here for years.
They know what the legal arguments are going to look like.
They're ready to fight.
There are more prepared to find ways to implement Donald Trump's plan that they weren't in his first term.
A couple of things.
Wow.
And whoever did that music needs to be shot.
Yeah, I'm not going to argue about that.
Second, have you noticed that Stephen Miller, that's the guy they're going after now?
That's the evil guy that they're going to be propping up as he's putting the strings behind the scenes.
And he does.
He has kind of like that evil Noah.
What's his name?
Noah Nashari.
What?
That that that.
What's that guy?
Kasha.
You know what I'm talking about?
No, I'm having a problem with names today.
Yes, you do.
Noah, the guy who wrote to see this, who wrote what?
Hold on.
You know, that guy who wrote the thing about the thing, you know, what the guy you buy, you all know, a Harari.
Oh, yeah.
Harari.
That is a douchebag.
Yes.
And Stephen Miller is a douchebag, too.
We've known this.
Stephen Miller looks like him, so he's going to be there.
Their evils.
They can do what they want.
Doesn't matter because Trump can go off and go crazy because he's not running for reelection.
Can't run for reelection.
I don't know what they're going to do about it.
You can go for broke.
So he can give Kennedy a big job that I think Kennedy be the troublemaker you want.
Well, he's a lightning rod.
I happen to have a couple of Kennedy clips from the Today show.
But you know what?
I'd like to hold that until after the break.
I'd like to.
This is more.
This is kind of more important.
Two clips.
One is the world leaders reacting to Trump's election.
I have a backup clip when you're done.
World leaders congratulating Donald Trump for regaining the White House.
They took to X where President Volodymyr Zelensky called the win impressive, while French President Emmanuel Macron posted ready to work together as we did for four years.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying, I know President Trump and I will work together to create more opportunity, prosperity and security for both our nations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement saying your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America, adding this is a huge victory before UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer started a press conference.
He congratulated Trump, stressing that strong relations between the US and the UK are crucial.
As the closest of allies, the UK and US will continue to work together to protect our shared values of freedom and democracy.
But leaders are also bracing for what another Trump term could mean after he's made threats to end military aid to Ukraine and withdraw US support for NATO allies.
He says don't spend enough on NATO defense.
Trump has repeatedly said he'd end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours if he's reelected.
The Kremlin spokesperson saying he's not aware if Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to congratulate Trump, calling the US an unfriendly country.
And from the city of love, its mayor writing on Instagram, the election of Donald Trump means bad news for the world and democracies, Europe, climate, women and Ukraine.
The Chinese foreign ministry only saying it hopes for peaceful coexistence.
China is concerned about a trade war after Trump has vowed to place tariffs on Chinese goods as president of the United States.
All right.
There it is.
A trip around the world.
Well, that's a better clip than mine.
This is mine.
Similar.
This is the election anal analysis.
I could not help but notice the title of your clips today were rather jarring.
I'm like, all right, I don't know what John's been watching.
But he clipped a lot of it.
This is the EU reaction.
European leaders cautiously congratulated Trump on his reelection.
And here's Eleanor Beersley reports.
Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accord, slapped massive tariffs on European imports, threatened the future of NATO and cozied up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But this time, with a war raging in Ukraine, the stakes are even higher for Europe, says Parisian Laetitia Le Belloir.
I think it's quite scary.
If there's no more help for Ukraine, Russia will invade the rest.
Facing the prospect of a more isolationist America, many Europeans say the continent needs to take charge of its destiny in key sectors like defense.
But Hungary's authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban, Trump's only EU ally, called the former president's reelection a much needed victory for the world.
Eleanor Beersley, NPR News, Paris.
Oh, a PR slanting the news, just a good contrast with yours.
Perfect lead in because we know the promise.
President elects Trump said within 24 hours, I'll have that war taken care of.
Yeah, I'm getting better at it.
It's getting better.
And here we go.
Great clouds in a bitter November chill in Ukraine as the country, like the rest of the world, confronts a new political reality.
The reelection of Donald Trump as US president has ramifications everywhere.
There are a few places it may be more consequential than here.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Trump early on Wednesday, posting on social media that he hoped the pair could bring just peace closer to Ukraine.
The game may have already changed for Ukraine.
A senior government official told TRT World that Kiev was open to discussions with Moscow about ending the war between the two countries.
The official, asking to remain unnamed, added that the government was willing to acknowledge Russian occupation of large swathes of Ukraine's south and east.
It's believed to be the first time Ukraine has indicated it would consider such talks.
Territorial losses for Ukraine have accelerated in 2024.
Larger and better equipped Russian forces have advanced slowly but steadily across the front line in the east and south of the country.
The Ukrainian government source said Kiev would continue to seek the return of the territories, albeit through political and diplomatic means, rather than military ones.
The source also said Ukraine would need security guarantees for 50 years, though not necessarily from NATO.
A senior Western diplomat told TRT World there had been no change in their position, which is that there cannot be conversations about Ukraine without keeping Kiev in the loop.
It's still unclear how negotiations may start, though Ukraine's government has indicated it does not believe Moscow will initiate the process.
A spokesperson for the Kremlin said on Wednesday President Vladimir Putin was eager to make contact and establish dialogue.
Trump hasn't even made a call.
The same thing happened.
I was told by at least one of our producers, a Navy guy, that Hamas is throwing their arms in the air.
Hey, you know, we want to negotiate here.
But that doesn't take much, I guess.
No, it doesn't.
Because they know the game is up.
The jig is up.
It's done.
The pivot to China is on.
And our fabled journalists, not the LARPers, like Melissa Chan, who is a New York Times, you know, she writes for all the hoity-toity stuff.
She was on Deutsche Welle being interviewed.
Oh, all the wars.
Trump is just the worst.
No, we know what is supposed to happen.
There is a military industrial complex pivot to China, the Middle East.
We're going to have Abraham 2 Accords.
We know this from our dude named Bahamut.
Boots on the ground.
It's all teed up.
It's good to go.
War.
The Russian-Ukraine thing is there.
Oh, well, you know, we should probably have some peace talks.
We'll give back some land, demilitarized zone incoming.
But don't worry.
Oh, there's wars, and Trump is going to start China.
Yes.
And that will be, again, a non-hot war.
We will not be fighting with China.
We'll have ships, big beautiful ships, and subs and bases everywhere.
Some people even say that we're already kind of in a World War III.
What is this, if not an international conflict, when you have North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia against Ukraine?
What is this, when you have the United States involved in supporting the Israeli military in a conflict with its northern neighbors, Lebanon and Hezbollah, and also the fighting against Hamas in Gaza?
What is this, if we don't have a hot conflict yet, but look to the Indo-Pacific, not just on Taiwan, but look to what is happening between the Chinese and the Philippines and the South China Sea?
It won't take that much before you have three global fronts.
What is it, if not a third world war, and we might have Trump as the leader of the United States having to navigate that?
Can he navigate that?
That's going to be the big question for me.
He was born to navigate that.
That's the whole point.
We're going to spend a whole bunch of money to keep our industrial base or to rebuild our industrial base.
Boats.
Big boats.
Big, beautiful boats.
You heard of Build Back Better, it's big, beautiful boats.
I wanted to get back to the analysis of the election.
I wanted to take a break.
I mean, we're running very long.
I just didn't get this out of the way.
I think we should take a break.
But I just want to say, because I've been wondering, I've been watching and looking for what are they going to do?
How are they going to explain this whole thing, this event, and this is kind of the kicker to the analysis, which is they finally came to the conclusion that they're going to blame Biden.
Yes.
Today I explained Sean Romsfrom here with Andrew Prokop, senior political correspondent at Vox.com, who's here to tell us what happened last night and this morning.
Andrew, what happened last night and this morning?
Well, four years after Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 presidential election and left office in disgrace, the American people chose to return him to power and gave him another term in office.
And why did the American people choose that?
That is a debate that is going to be very heated over the coming days and weeks and months and years.
But my viewpoint is that this election was not so much about either of the candidates on the ticket and more about President Joe Biden.
Come on, man.
Biden.
Wait a minute.
Did you put that in or is that in this report?
That was actually in the report.
This is NPR?
Yes.
Oh, then.
Yes.
Well, they're listening to our show or about President Joe Biden.
Come on, man.
Biden is simply put, one of the most unpopular presidents in history.
And he has been for some time.
His approval rating last I checked was somewhere around 38 percent.
And again, it's been there for some time.
And you know, I think there was a hope among Democrats this year that Biden's bad approval was just because he was old or just because of his vibes and that if they put in a younger, newer face, then they wouldn't have problems with the electorate, with the public, that they would win.
Oh, I'm glad you delayed the break for this.
This is good.
This is good stuff.
They're just going to pile on poor Joe because they know that go back to the basic thesis of Joe sabotaged the party by putting in Camelot because they didn't want her.
They were going to do a mini convention or something and get a bunch of something going on and get somebody else in there.
Gavin, well, or Shapiro or Whitmer, there's a bunch of them.
Probably Whitmer would be more likely to tell me about it.
But they got sabotaged by Biden and Biden further sabotaged him with the garbage comments and all the everything he can do to make sure that.
So now this is the turn.
OK, you pull that.
You want your legacy.
Here we go.
This is going to be your legacy.
You, you, you.
And they're going to just put this is just pathetic.
This is all I'm going to relent to the troll room.
They want to give you a clip of the day for this.
I think they're right.
Well, let's go to part two, then.
So when Kamala Harris unexpectedly became the Democratic presidential nominee, unexpectedly, she immediately had to grapple with the question of how her campaign would handle the fact that she is Joe Biden's vice president and that voters really don't like Joe Biden.
Some expected her to perhaps break with Biden and the Biden administration in some way, say that mistakes were made, make a pretty clear argument for how she would do things differently on policy.
She chose not to do that, basically.
Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced and and and capable in every way that anyone would want if their president.
And she chose to argue that, you know, when the economy came up, she argued that, you know, the economy is doing great.
What we have done is clean up Donald Trump's mess.
What we have done and what I intend to do is build on what we know are the aspirations and the hopes of the American people.
But I'm going to tell you when immigration came up and voter anger about the situation at the border, she would say, well, that's all Republicans fault for not passing the immigration reform bill.
But you know what happened to that bill?
Donald Trump got on the phone, called up some folks in Congress and said, kill the bill.
And you know why?
Because he preferred to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.
This is amazing.
You're so right there.
Like, you know what is the that old, you know, and how how bad must Hunter be feeling right now?
And, you know, and Trump should probably just pardon Hunter just to screw with everybody.
Your pardon, kid drug addicts.
He might.
I think, you know, it wasn't it wasn't a Democrat that pardoned Scooter Libby and Blago Blagojevich was was commuted sentence by Trump.
Trump is pretty generous about that, especially with the party enemies, which, you know, if it was Hillary, she'd be having people hanging.
I thought it was, you know, we've been tracking this Biden and how Biden wanted to screw the party over because he felt screwed over and, you know, he had the MAGA hat on.
He had the MAGA hat.
He took it up the the stairs of Air Force One.
Of course, that was probably the other.
I don't know if that was a real Biden or not.
And then Jill, Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill, our first lady, she wore a complete red outfit when she voted.
I mean, who does that as a Democrat?
Yeah, that's a good way.
You're right.
I know.
And they show a picture of her in red.
Yeah.
That's a bad fashion choice.
Well, it was a it was a she was probably voted for Trump.
That's my point.
She's messaging.
Yeah, well, I know.
But that's the way she's wearing the red dress, obviously.
But but.
Pantsuit, by the way.
Yeah, it was a pantsuit.
OK, this is the last of the clips.
And by the way, a lot of people, just before we play this last clip, I will say that a number of analysts have have tracked down the the real the moment of pure failure when Sonny Hoskins asked Kamala right on the spot, would you do anything staged question?
What would you do different than Joe Biden?
And she and Kamala had no answer.
She said, no, nothing.
I don't know.
OK, we've covered how Harris lost the race, even how Biden lost the race.
How did Trump win the race?
Because it seemed like his campaign was rather messy.
Well, I think the political conventional wisdom all throughout this race has been that Trump had a good hand given voters dissatisfaction with Joe Biden and his record, particularly on key issues like inflation, immigration and foreign policy.
But I think one important thing that Trump did do is that he really tried to wriggle away from the abortion issue.
He saw and understood that the Dobbs decision was a problem for Republicans in 2022, basically at a time when Republican pro-life groups were feeling flushed with victory and urging Republicans to go further, perhaps passing a national abortion ban.
Trump did not want anything to do with that.
My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both.
And whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state.
He was cautious about the abortion issue and wanted to to make sure that it didn't sink his campaign, which in the end it didn't.
I'm really sick of this analysis for the following reason.
First, the Dodd amendment, you know, which part of Roe versus Wade was not a law.
It was not a constitutional right.
It was an opinion by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court overturned that opinion, sending that type of decision back to the states.
Yeah, that is that is already the way it is.
And they're just pretending like it's like it's not the media, the the NPRs of the world, but really even people who people who really are pro-life don't even haven't even received this message yet.
They still think that it's not not settled.
It's settled.
It's done.
There's nothing else.
It's been settled.
It was settled the day they sent it back to the states.
Yes.
It's settled science.
It's political science.
And of course, the states now, some of them.
Well, the reason I think that you can say it's not settled is because the states have been jiggering with it.
Well, sure.
But there's some.
But what happened with it because it showed up on a lot of ballots because the Democrats thought, well, if you put it on the ballot, that'll bring out the Democrat voters and they're going to vote for that.
And Kamala and it didn't work out that way.
They separated it because the public, generally speaking, not the dumb 30 percent of both parties that, you know, think what they think.
But the independent thinkers that come out there, they know what's going on.
They know that Trump's not some sort of a crazy guy for IVF and he's he's glad it went back.
The abortion went to the states.
It's fine with him.
And why are all the people like in California moaning and groaning about this?
When is when abortion has been legal in California for decades?
Because they've been given messaging with fear.
Fear is Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, authoritarian.
It's it's the opposite side of the grids going down.
You know, it's just you make people afraid and then you shove in this.
I'm sorry.
I mean, there's still the funniest thing that's happened, I think, probably in the last few months.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea and cut the cord.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end.
The one and only Mr. John.
Good morning.
You said I'm going to worship.
She goes in there.
This is a thunder box.
I am the dames and knights out there.
Hello.
Showcase.
We have a flood of trolls.
You ready?
Yeah.
Two thousand eight hundred and twenty three.
We have a flood of trolls.
On a Thursday.
Which is normally a thousand over.
Yeah, that's about it.
Sounds right.
Sounds reasonable.
It's a flood.
It's not a record break breaker that they're telling us we're going to get.
But it's close.
What was the record breaker?
Four thousand.
And what was it for?
I have something.
Something important.
I don't know.
Something happened.
Someday something happened.
I can't remember.
It's a troll landslide.
Oh, that was after the assassination attempt.
That's right.
That could be.
Yeah.
Anyway, the like, what are we going to do?
I mean, we're getting a decent analysis for today.
You know, generally speaking, I don't think it's, you know, is what I don't want to say it is what it is, but I'm going to say that.
But I don't know what they expected from us after the assassination attempt.
Well, I can tell you.
At least probably 40 percent at this point of people who listen to the no agenda podcast have realized that the entire no agenda nation is built of very productive, very smart, compassionate people, even the trolls, even when they're trolling, doesn't matter.
And they come here to feel at ease.
It started with Covid.
Oh, yes.
Covid.
And with Covid.
Yes, you're right.
People listen to this show because we're not railing about the grid going down.
We're not.
We're not spun up about stuff because we've.
No, we're a jocular.
We're jocular.
Let's face it.
We've been around.
We've been around for a bit.
We've seen the BS before.
Yeah.
So.
And when are these celebrities going to finally leave the country?
Liars.
The trolls.
The trolls are listening at troll room dot IO, where you can you can join the almost 3000 trolls today to hang out and troll along.
It's been good, actually.
This is jocular.
I'm still laughing at word jocular.
What does jocular even mean?
It means what you think it means.
We're square jawed.
We have a good sense of humor.
Mm hmm.
And we make light of things that are that need to be making people need to be making light of.
I don't know how to put that.
And we're generally a funny podcast.
We are, in fact, under the comedy category.
And although we've never won an award for it or.
No.
And we're not comedians by any means.
No.
And since we don't want to pay the hundred and fifty dollar entry fee, we don't get any more awards.
We're done.
We're done with awards.
You can also listen live on a modern podcast app.
You get those podcast apps dot com.
You can see which one this is.
I think there's eight or nine, maybe even ten of them now.
Will you get it when we send out the bad signal?
You get an alert that the show is going live so you can listen live in real time.
And even if you don't, you can import all of your legacy podcasts.
It all works just fine.
When we publish the show, you'll know within 90 seconds.
So there's no waiting on Apple or on any of the any of these legacy apps.
It's just it's immediate.
You get all the cool features.
Dreb Scott does these wonderful chapters with a lot of the art.
And unlike NPR, we don't have to tell you to go buy a mattress, which is what they're resorting to.
We don't have to get a plus bundle so that you can support us by listening to premium content.
Because and the reason for that is we're so lazy.
We would never make we do the show.
We're done like, oh, John, I know we're finished with the show, but we still have to record our premium content.
Can you imagine?
No.
And something I'd reject out of hand.
We'd have to be like, how much work do we need to do?
I mean, it's just it's it's an insult to the audience.
Thank you.
Enough said right there.
No, instead, we run it value for value, which means everybody is a producer of the show.
Some of them are even big Hollywood big wigs like Dana Brunetti.
Yeah, he's he isn't.
You know, the funny thing is about Dana probably doesn't mind us.
Using his name.
No, I don't think he does.
He would have said so.
I think he appreciates he likes to be his name.
He likes to hear his name.
He's like a typical Hollywood guy.
He denies it.
Hey, I got name checked on the No Agenda show.
Listen to this clip.
And what are you doing for me, publicist?
Exactly.
So we just give you all the value up front and we ask you to send some back whenever it works out for you, whenever you feel you've received value.
Oh, by the way.
Yes.
So I've been getting these notes from Anderson PR, public relations company down in Los Angeles, the celebrities.
And they have been pushing.
And I've gotten three.
I got good.
I stopped communicating because I got irked the first time.
But they have been if anyone wants to know.
Yes, I do want to know.
They have been pushing and pushing and pushing.
I don't know how he why he's doing this.
This 21 year old kid named Harry Sisson, S.I.S.S.O.N. He's on the social medias.
They've been promoting him as you should be a guest on your show.
He should do this.
He should do that.
And I'm thinking, who the hell wants this lackey to be on anybody's show?
So he's paying for the for the for the publicist.
Oh, wait a minute.
Who is this kid?
You've seen him.
He's a goofy looking kid.
Is he the kid who crashed his Lamborghini?
No, no, that's another one.
That's another douche.
Who's this guy?
Does he have any video?
Yeah.
S.I.S.S.O.N. He's got tons of videos.
He's kind of a funny looking guy who is just a Democrat lackey.
Let's see.
Let's see what he's got going on here.
Let's see.
Oh, that's just a picture.
Doesn't he have video?
Where's your video?
Yeah, he's got lots.
He's on TikTok.
Here we go.
Well, folks, look what I just stumbled upon.
Bryce, you're still running from a debate.
It seems like Donald Trump is paying you to support him, but not to understand.
Oh, brother.
Does he have anything funny?
No, he's not funny.
He's not a comedian.
All he does is bitch and moan about how you should vote for Kamala and not Trump.
That's it.
And so he's hired a publicist because I don't know.
You know, I don't think he's.
You know, here's what here.
Can I make a recommendation?
You should email Anderson PR.
And say, yes, yes, we'd love to have Mr. Sisson on our podcast.
Set up a time.
Oops.
Set up a time.
Set up a date.
And then just not show up.
Just just just shine him.
And then, you know, then we can have a good life.
Yeah, I'm not doing that.
You're too nice a guy.
So the time, talent and treasure is is how we run it.
So whenever you get value from the show, you just send some value back to us.
We love it.
When you do a sustaining donation, no agenda donations dot com.
We love it.
When you support us by organizing meetups, hitting people in the mouth.
Anything you could be sending us clips, boots on the ground.
Actually, I remind me, I do have a good analysis from.
Our constitutional lawyer about Trump's litigation stuff.
He went through everything.
It's not very long, but it's good to good to know.
And of course, we have our artists who a lot of them are prompt jockeys, but we still have some artists.
And, you know, and I think that most of them.
Well, on Episode 1709, which we had the title empty and I was very kind of disappointed that no one, not a single person sent in an end of show mix with the Humpty dance.
It was come on.
It seemed like an obvious one.
I even gave you the lyrics.
But we did get great art capitalist agenda.
And I think we agree that this may have been partially AI, but certainly not all.
Yeah, it was a hybrid hybrid, a Dutch master hybrid of which I think is the future of these things.
Yeah, probably of a very frightened looking squirrel.
Of course, this was in memory and memorandum of a peanut peanut with a you saw this set up for Harris's Apologia.
Yeah, there was a squirrel that ran across the stage.
I saw the video.
That's a rat.
I was a rat.
It's a rat.
I don't think I don't see how they could call it a squirrel.
Well, that makes more sense.
It was a rat.
It was in New York.
It was a rat.
Hello.
I just did it, but I did it on purpose.
Dang.
Okay.
It was a rat.
I'll go back and look.
They title of the squirrel.
So my brain was ready to see squirrel.
Yeah, that's what happened.
Well, it makes sense.
It was a rat.
And you know what the rat was doing?
Leaving the ship.
So the squirrel is holding a vote curry Dvorak sign with little peanuts dividing our name.
So that's how you know it was not done by that sign was not an AI sign.
No, I have too many.
It would take forever.
Too many problems with it as well.
I think the squirrel itself was an AI squirrel.
Cartoon cartoony squirrel and AI squirrel.
Oh, no.
But the rest of it looks like it was hand done.
But, you know, we never know.
Well, we thank you very much.
Capitalist agenda was good to have you back doing some art and a well-deserved win.
There were some other pieces that people sent in.
There were lots of squirrel pieces.
Yeah.
Lots and lots and lots of squirrel.
Lots.
I mean, we were oversaturated with squirrels.
Was there anything that we really liked besides?
Besides, I see some tech grout stuff showed up late.
I was coming.
Yeah.
It's a comic strip blogger.
It was it was just too much squirrel stuff.
Really, we only had squirrels to choose from, which is pretty much.
Yeah.
That was the best of the group, which is really a it's a nice tribute to to peanut.
We all feel a little bad about peanut.
The October surprise of the twenty twenty four.
Don't forget Fred.
Fred.
Fred is forgotten.
No one cares about Fred.
So thank you very much.
All of our artists, we appreciate what you do.
No agenda art generator dot com.
If even if your art is not chosen, it's probably used.
Look at the modern podcast apps.
You'll see that Dreb Scott is putting that art in the chapters.
He uses a lot of them.
It's and we love it.
We love it.
We love it very much.
Anybody can participate.
Anybody can contribute.
Doesn't matter what you're doing.
And we just whatever mood we're in when we're done, we pick it.
We just pick whatever we think is.
But we argue sometimes.
But we pick what we find is best suitable.
It's good for promotion of the show.
Then we have our executive and associate executive producers.
Anybody who contributes is a producer.
We will thank everybody.
Fifty dollars and above under 50.
We don't do for reasons of anonymity.
People like giving forty nine ninety nine.
And there's our sustaining donors on there, which is highly appreciated.
Everybody should set something up to keep us going.
And as you'll see later on, there are people who I think we have a night or two today layaway nights who have just been donating small amounts.
And eventually you get there.
You come to the round table.
You get your official nighting or daming and you get your signet ring and the whole the whole kit and caboodle along with your meat mutton and meat.
We do make special mention, just like Hollywood, of our executive and associate executive producers, just like Dana Brunetti.
You, too, can be an associate executive producer.
Two hundred dollars above.
And we gladly read your note.
Try and keep it short just for brevity and out of respect for all the producers who send in notes and three hundred dollars above.
You're an executive producer and we read your note as well.
These are titles that are real, just like Dana Brunetti's titles, just like he puts a title on House of Cards or Gran Turismo.
And you mentioned Dana Brunetti one more time.
And you can add this to IMDB dot com.
If you don't have an account, you can open one.
It's legit.
So we kick it off and well, we are worried no more.
We wondered, I think, was it the last episode we were we were wondering what happened to Sir Animas a couple of episodes ago.
Yes.
And we thought that he was a while.
We thought that he was working or that was Jay actually thought that he we haven't heard.
Jay said he was working.
It turns out he was.
Yeah.
But yeah, he we haven't heard from since since September.
So the entire month of October's.
So he said in the end of September.
So he sent us cash once again, I presume, with a couple of dollars, two dollar bills, cash, two dollar bills, three thousand four hundred and fifty four dollars from Sir Animas of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia.
And as usual, he sends in a typewritten piece of paper, which we appreciate him so much.
And he says thank you to all the producers that keep this remarkable show running on a perpetual four more years promise.
Really perpetual.
Enclosed is my September premium subscription fee plus late fees.
Ah, he's already in the plus.
I had I had no United States Postal Service service of my flights across four continents.
Is that can you can you send stuff on USPS from an airplane?
No, I think he uses, I think, and he can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think he uses a remail service.
And you have to have some postal system to get to the remail service because he says on my flights across flight, multiple flights, he's flying around for some reason.
Or while he's working, he's working whatever he does.
We don't know anything about Sir Animas other than we don't want to know.
Nope.
He continues.
I enjoyed dude named Mohammed sharing of boots on the ground reality in the region.
Knowledge is power and how better to show your power than sharing it with your friends.
That's right.
Recent trips noted a growing anti so he travels around multiple continents.
We don't know what he does.
We don't want to know, but he does share his experience.
He talks to a lot of people and he shares his pile of cash.
Recent trip from his business.
Recent.
Whatever his business is.
It's government.
U.S. Government money.
I don't know.
I wouldn't go that far.
Recent trips noted a growing anti NATO perspective, even if people were resigned to limited change in U.S. Policy.
Locals noted the persistent U.S. favoritism toward their former colonists, ruling countries that extracted wealth from their colonies tax without representation and continue to attempt undue influence.
Many express disappointment that our former colony and freedom loving America wouldn't better support countries that are following our eggs that followed our example of fighting for independence, even if it's over 200 years later.
Statements like the enemy of my enemy is my friend suggested Donald J.
Trump's anti NATO statements were welcomed.
Well, that what do you what do you take?
What do you take of that?
What do you make of that?
I read this note a couple of times trying to figure out what he's talking about.
But there is a hint in there that the Middle Middle Eastern Middle Eastern are like, you know what?
As long as they don't like NATO, they don't like the fact that it's becoming a thing.
And they like the fact that Trump is a NATO skeptic.
And I, I can understand that.
And NATO.
In other words, NATO's got to go.
And NATO won't be needed with the pivot to China.
Well, they want to see the NATO holes, including your friend.
Hey, Margaret, there's no friend of mine.
They want to turn they for example, there's discussions to offer South Korea and NATO membership, which is idiotic.
NATO is North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not got nothing to do with the Korean Peninsula, but they want to offer them and maybe Japan will join into.
So this is like becoming a global.
This is like an alternate UN.
Yeah, it's becoming.
It's not good.
It can't be good.
We don't need these world governing bodies.
Did I tell you I met Margaret at one time that we talk about that?
Yeah, yes.
I got his voice down.
Yeah.
What did you talk to him about?
Well, because I knew from steamer months who became the climate czar for the EU, because I interviewed him on the radio station that got burned down.
And yes.
And so he was the assistant to Margaret when he was prime minister.
And this is back in the day when I was flying my own plane.
I was there.
I was my little Cessna 182 and the government plane.
They were going somewhere.
So I land at the at the VIP jet terminal.
Here I am.
And and I see from stimulus.
Hey, Adam, he says, come meet the prime minister.
I said, OK.
And so go to meet the prime minister.
And he's the guy.
And I should do is I'll do it in his his Dutch English just to get the idea.
Yes, I recognize you from TV.
Yeah, that's great.
That was it.
Yeah, pretty much.
So, yeah.
All right.
Didn't even get a rise out of you.
Finalizing.
So I was a dog patches note here.
Balloting done by the time you read this and we will carry on as a country, regardless of the outcome.
Ten four, sir.
That's right.
And here we do.
We carry on.
Thank you so much for your support of long enduring and very generous support.
It is highly appreciated.
Yes, I agree.
Onward with count.
Not sure in Monument, Colorado.
And he came in with the he came in with three, three.
This is the rubber laser donation.
Three, three, three.
Three dot three, three.
Hold on a second.
Where's the how come the rubber laser hasn't fired it?
Oh, there it is.
There's the rubber laser.
India.
Hang on, Mike.
Stand by.
Rubber laser out.
Yes.
We love the rubber lasers.
Thank you so much.
I.T.M. Guys count.
Not sure here.
I was hoping to enjoy my account status for a bit longer.
But with the chance to add another P.H.D. It's a doctor of education to my resume.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
This donation now makes me a Duke and I would like to be known as Duke.
Not sure.
Keeper of the Tri Lakes and Southern Front Range.
But also like to give a P.H.D. To my smoking hot wife, Gary.
Jerry.
I think it's Jerry.
Oh, what am I thinking?
Yeah, it'd be Jerry.
Jerry.
And to my sister, Dame Marie.
I'm hoping to get one of the American made karmas.
If you happen to have one left in the back of the drawer.
I don't know what that is.
And a guy got ants jingle.
Keep up the amazing work you guys do.
And here's to four more years.
Four more years.
Mark Rushall.
When you say America made, I'm just going to think you mean patriotic.
I got ants.
You've got.
Karma.
All right.
Thank you.
Yes.
Do you want to tell people?
Because I think you've only talked about in the newsletter about the doctor of education.
Yeah.
I think we rolled it out as a P.H.D. And there's going to be if you don't want the doctor of education, you want a P.H.D. I can talk Jay into altering the diploma.
What do you mean?
I think.
Changing what?
For what reason?
With this guy.
You just read it.
He got a P.H.D. Oh, I see what you're saying.
You read it.
I didn't read it.
I was just.
Oh, well, you should have been listening.
I'm sorry.
And so we changed it to a doctor of education in honor of the departing Jill Biden and with some debate between between us and it for climate change science.
And so it's going to be a doctor of education at the moment.
As everyone objects to it.
Well, I like it.
I like having my doctor of education in climate science for deconstructing lies.
Lies and it will become very valuable in the future.
And I think it will be valuable in the future.
Yes.
Have it hang in there.
Paul Fellner comes in with one thousand thirty and twenty six cents.
I'm presuming that is with some fees.
And he says in the morning, gentlemen, I started listening this summer by new friend of the show.
And I wish it had been years sooner.
Please accept this donation as a token of appreciation for all you do.
I missed the boat on the no agenda Commodore ship, but I couldn't resist a doctor of education and climate change science.
I can't wait to add that to my email signature.
Well, could I please get a deduction?
You've been deduced.
Yeah.
And he adds to that.
Could I also get a they're eating the dogs?
They're eating the dogs.
Here's to another four more years.
Four more years.
All right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I like the idea of having on the signature.
Of course.
Call letters.
Yeah.
I'm going to add my I have a lot of things.
I have a Commodore.
I've got a Ph.D. I am a doctor.
It's good news.
Sir.
Robert Dawson.
Parts unknown.
Five thirty three.
Thirty three.
He's a knight in media deconstruction.
He got the Ph.D. last year.
Happy 17 years to the best podcast.
In the universe.
Long time listener.
I loved your election special eight years ago.
And thanks for holding off my Commodore ship until.
Yes.
He had put a already bought a Commodore ship.
And then once it after the election.
Until what I'm sure is going to be another epic compilation of legacy media.
Legacy media meltdown.
We didn't do too much of the legacy meat.
I can't even say it.
Meltdowns.
We did some people.
But they melted down.
Especially on this stupid network.
Did he want his location to be withheld.
Seeing as you read over that.
I don't want to.
I don't have a location.
It says.
Checking in from Taiwan.
Oh.
Well.
I just read from it.
OK.
Oh no.
If he does.
Obviously doesn't want it withheld.
Because he says it right there.
OK.
Good.
No jingle in particular.
Just a general karma to all the producers of Gitmo Nation.
East.
And west.
The lowlands.
And beyond.
Smooth sailing Commodore Robert Dawson.
Thank you very much.
And you are now officially our boots on the ground in Taiwan.
We need to know what's happening.
Let us know.
Please.
You've got karma.
Yes.
Please.
Commodore 64 checks in from Chulota.
Chulota.
He's in Florida.
Hi John and Adam.
I was the original Commodore 64 just a short while ago.
And this should bring me up to knight status.
All right.
Since several others have claimed the C64 title, I'll change my name to Sir Speedy of the Bubble.
Since I'm requesting nothing with my first donation, I would like both a de-douching and as much Reverend Al Sharpton as you are willing and able to play.
You've been de-douched.
All right.
Well, I have something for you for that.
Also, can there really be too much Al Sharpton?
He says no.
Also, I'd like to request that we take back the word weird.
I'm weird.
Some of my favorite people are weird.
Please be weird for four more years.
If you don't agree, sorry I made you say weird so many times.
Screwing up your tally.
No, I think you're right.
But we do like to temper words that we overuse too much.
And we're doing it.
Yes.
We do that as part of the show.
In fact, we have to do it because otherwise we sound like...
If everybody listens to Mark Levin, they will hear him say and so forth.
Constantly.
Because he has no one there to call him out, to check him on it.
Yeah.
No, exactly.
That's what you producers are there for.
And here is too much Al Sharpton for you.
He's getting lunch at Chipotle.
The tortise in the race.
Kim Kardashian, Sigournoy Weaver.
They're all jitty.
There's no real conflict.
Resist.
We must.
Resist.
We must.
And we will much.
About.
That.
We commit.
There you go.

If it's not too late, I'd like to get one of those shiny title Commodore's Jadron, if you allow it.
Commodore Jadron.
Look up that word J-A-D-R-O-N.
I'm not sure of what it means.
I don't know.
If you allow it.
Thank you both for all the hard work.
It's my first donation.
So please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
Four more years.
It's a strategy.
Four more years.
Ed Koda is in New Jersey.
He could have been red, but now he's blue.
If only they had gotten rid of Project 2025.
He's in Summit.
$500.
ITM Commodores and Comrades, happy 17th.
I'm making my annual anniversary donation and had to take you up on the Commodore title.
I shall now be known as Commodore Jadron.
Ed from Summit, New Jersey.
All right, Ed.
Good note.
You should start drinking that vinegar and that sparkling water.
It's a pretty good combination, and it's refreshing.
It is very refreshing.
Dan Richman in El...
another guy in El Chua, Florida.
Is that the same guy?
No, it was a different Florida.
It was Chula.
No.
I thought it was El Chua.
No, it was Chula Woda.
Oh, brother, they got a lot of Chula Woda.
shoe is in Florida there.
39866, January 1989, I'm watching MTV late at night to see the debut of Metallica's first music videos and I'm fairly certain one Adam Curry was the VJ that night.
I was, headbangers ball, I think it was Metallica's One was the title of the song, One.
Fast forward 35 years and with this donation I'm now a No Agenda Knight, I would like to be Sir Hebe of Hogtown.
Okay.
It's what you want.
Thank you for all you do.
I hope one day to be as curmudgeonly as Dvorak.
Yeah.
I might even take up smoking to get the raspy voice.
We do not recommend that.
I don't take it.
Do I have a raspy voice?
You have a great voice.
You have a very recognizable.
It's recognizable.
I agree with that.
The girls.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, babe.
Chicks love it.
Chicks dig it.
Okay.
Onward.
Theodore Kotick, Kotick, Kotick, Kotick.
Theodore is in McKinney, Texas 343.75 and Theodore says four more years and some baby making karma if you don't mind.
Okay.
People find, you said that people find that jingle creepy.
I don't think it's creepy.
That's not creepy.
I thought you said that someone felt it was creepy.
I don't remember that.
Anyway, many blessings to the No Agenda Tribe from a millennial douchebag turned producer.
Well, I guess you get a de-douching then.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
All right.
John O'Neill in College Station, Texas.
We got Texas all up in a row here.
Texas up in our grill.
Uh, 333.33. Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
I need an F-cancer and add in a J-C-D donate.
Spooky voice for all the other douchebags.
Also, go Trump.
Drain that nasty swamp.
Yeah.
He hasn't promised that this year, though.
No, he didn't.
That swamp is going to be there.
He figured, yeah, you know what you're going to do.
You've got karma.
And also from Texas, from Dallas, we have Sir Cristobal.
Cristobal, 333.33, our favorite number.
I've been digging the shows over the last month, he says, in the run-up to the election.
I figured I was due for another donation.
That's how it works.
You got value.
You return value.
He says, I would love to hear the eating the dogs clip.
Thank you, Sir Cristobal.
They're eating the dogs.
That's an evergreen.
That's a classic.
Yes, it is.
It is.
Connor Bailey, Connor J.
Bailey in Tip City, Ohio.
A lot of restaurants there, I guess.
333.33, this donation brings me to knighthood, and I'd like to thank God, my family, and most of all, No Agenda Nation for their courage.
Please knight me, Sir Rod, the one who parties.
Knight of the Crocs and Socks.
He wears Crocs with socks.
For the round table, I humbly request whatever seltzer John is currently drinking, and spaghetti and meatballs.
What are you drinking?
Pellegrino.
Oh, actually, no, I got it.
No, what am I doing?
Oh, did I bring it up?
Oh, Daytrip.
Yeah, somebody dropped it off at one of the meetups.
This stuff is pretty good.
It's a sparkling product, Daytrip, and they either make it with different flavors.
It's either probiotic or CBD infused.
Do you have the CBD infused?
I've had it before on the show, but I've not.
Today it's a probiotic, a clementine flavored Daytrip.
Yum.
But that's not seltzer.
Seltzer go with Pellegrino.
Actually, Polar.
Go with Polar.
I was watching one of the cooking shows, which I tend to watch too much, and they believe that they did a bunch of tests of all the quinine water, and Polar won the competition, and it's the cheapest.
Really?
Hey, do you remember that time you had gummies before the show?
Yeah, what about them?
That was great.
What was great about them?
You were great.
You were like, I'm still dizzy.
It was great when you were high on gummies.
Oh, that was a lot.
No, I had gummies the night before.
Yeah, and you were still high when you woke up.
Yeah, I was kind of dizzy.
Yeah, it was great.
I don't know about that.
Yeah, I do.
That was like 10, 15 years ago.
People still remember.
Oh, well, you got nothing else to do.
Yeah, okay.
So where was I?
You're on spaghetti and meatballs.
Yeah, spaghetti and meatballs.
Also, I just ordered some more gigawatt coffee.
Use the code ITM.
Outstanding product and excellent service.
Code Bongino actually works.
No karma, but could I get a Bitcoin and Reverend Respect jingle and thank you for your courage.
How about that Bitcoin?
76,247.
They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
And we then see Sir Tim from Overland Park, Kansas, 33333.
And he says Al Sharpton, NF cancer.
Well, there you go.
We'll do it again.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
You've got karma.
I threw in a goat for you, Sir Tim.
I threw in a goat.
Andrew in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, becomes our first associate executive producer and he says, uh, keep up the amazing analysis of the M5M donation for progress on my path to knighthood.
Needing some jobs, karma, and a little girl.
Yay.
$210 and 60 cents.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's go for jobs.
You've got karma.
Justin Butler is in Phoenix, New York, and with the palindrome 202.02, 202.02. Very nice.
Thanks for the deconstruction.
For the pickleball listeners out there, hello, pickleball listeners.

Suggestion.
For Thanksgiving, you should suggest donations to be 10101.10, which is a turkey in bowling, three strikes in a row.
That's your department, John.
That's an interesting idea.
That's your department.
Yes.
Yeah, turkey.
He has a rather long boots on the ground, but it is interesting that he works in the transportation business for a cryogenics slash industrial gas company.
Isn't cryogenics where they freeze your body or your brain?
No, I'd say if he's freezing anything, it's just the company itself.
Oh, I thought it was freezing brains.
Yeah, but once you read this, it's boots on the ground stuff.
Cryogenics industrial gas company, mainly delivering bulk liquid CO2.
Oh, you're carrying around climate change in a can.
Yeah, it's mainly used for food products like baking soda, packaging and slaughterhouses, soda and carbonated water, fire suppression, dry ice, greenhouses and cooling machinery.
There are a few natural springs that naturally produce CO2 in the US.
The CO2 is also a byproduct of some coal burning electric plants, but the quality isn't the best.
The highest quality CO2, which beverage companies prefer, comes as a byproduct of chemical and ethanol fuel plants.
Since the government has been trying to go away from fossil fuels and create less carbon, a lot of those plants have shut down.
As a result, the cryogenic companies have come up with ways to try to switch into using nitrogen, Pepsi Nitro.
Oh, that's a new brand.
That's interesting.
Because we see all this, we see this in beer and you had this nitro, nitro, nitro, nitro, carbonated.
Yeah, this nitro business.
Interesting.
It hasn't been successful in the beverage industry, but a lot of other industries have switched to or are looking into nitrogen.
I think we should be no agenda nitro.
Certainly there's a product in there.
He says, PS chip plants use a ridiculous amount of nitrogen, electricity and water to produce chips.
Yes, this is a known fact.
All right.
Thank you.
And remember, check out B&B Pickleball.com for the best paddles.
They have multiple uses.
They do.
I'm going to do the next two and starting with Robert Carty in Spring Branch, Texas, another Texan.
He doesn't have a note or anything.
He's our constitutional lawyer.
That's Rob.
Oh, you're going to read a note from him.
He came with $200 and 33 cents.
We'll get to the note after I read the next donation, which is, of course, Linda Lou Patkin, who came in with 200 bucks and she wants jobs.
Karma Trump version.
For an umpty ump times faster job search, visit Image Makers Inc.
dot com.
That's Image Makers Inc.
with a K dot com.
Your go to for executive resume and job search and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes.
OK, jobs, jobs.
Jobs.
You've got karma.
OK, let me see Rob's note and we have a couple of notes here.
Hold on a second.
Yes, I have.
This was what he sent in was a a brief, although good deconstruction of Trump's lawsuits and what the status is of them.
So I'll run them down real quick since he is our constitutional lawyer and he pays us.
Can you believe a lawyer that actually gives you legal advice and pays you for it?
What a life.
The guy's the best.
OK, January six prosecution.
That's Jack Smith.
That's a federal case in D.C. dead.
D.O.J. won't push this as a matter of policy.
New attorney general will take it behind the barn and click bang.
Jack Smith loses his cushy gig.
Classified prosecution, Florida, federal.
Jack Smith dead for the same reason.
Hush money.
New York State.
Stormy Daniels.
Judge Marchand is considering whether immunity applies.
Exact expected decision next week.
If no immunity, then he'll go to sentencing.
Regardless of the outcome, this case will be tied up in appeals.
And I'm quite confident Trump's lawyers will keep him out of jail.
Lots of potential permutations here.
Lots.
OK, election interference.
That's Georgia.
Fannie Willis.
This case has been bogged down for a while.
Trump is trying to disqualify Fannie Willis without her.
The case lacks a champion to push it.
Immunity will definitely be an issue here for what it's worth.
My gut says Trump will win on that issue.
Civil fraud.
New York.
Leticia James.
This is a civil case.
So immunity doesn't apply.
Still, as you may recall, it's on appeal.
The New York Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in September where the panel questioned several aspects of the case.
There's a realistic possibility that the lower court's judgment could be vacated or possibly modified to reduce the penalty sharply.
And finally, defamation.
That's the Jean E.
Carroll case in New York.
Federal case.
These cases are on appeal at the Second Circuit.
No immunity because a civil case.
These cases involve jury verdicts which are difficult to overturn because juries get so much deference on findings of fact.
We'll see what Trump can pull out of the hat.
Thank you.
Thank you, Rob.
We appreciate that.
We appreciate that legal deconstruction from you.
Then we have two more notes.
The first being...
Well, you got Sarah first.
Yes.
You want to do Sarah?
I'll do Sarah.
Sarah, the fisher, she's up in East, not West, but East Wenatchee, Washington.
Washington.
I say Washington, they say Wershington.
Wershington.
ITM, John and Adam, thank you for your courage and attention.
Slaves are getting no nation.
Does your business website suck?
Do you even have a website?
This is a great pitch.
Come check out concurrentstudio.com where I build beautiful small batch artisanal brand websites.
That's concurrentstudio.com.
Mention no agenda for 10% off your next website or logo project.
Love you, mean it, Sarah, the web babe.
Hey, since we're doing plugs, I want to thank Leif from turboscribe.ai. I guess he started a new business, turboscribe.ai does transcripts.
It is turbo.
Is it good?
Yes.
And I can get rid of the $40 a month I'm paying for otter.ai, which sorry to say sucks.
It's slow.
Oh yeah, Jay was complaining that the last transcript you got from Otter was only half done and never finished it.
Did you get the note on that?
No, I did not.
But I'll check.
Actually, interesting.
That's odd.
Anyway, turboscribe is fast.
It does speaker recognition, which is always the problem with all these fast things to do a speaker recognition.
I know we appreciate Leif.
Annie Breglia is in Summit, New York, $200 associate executive producership for Annie.
And she sent in a note and says, wait, is this, where's Annie?
He has no note.
Annie has no note.
No, she has a double up karma.
Oh, we've got that for Annie.
I thought she had a note.
You've got.
Double up.
However, Teresa Andrews in Camarillo, California does have a note with her $200 donation.
She says, dear Adam and John, this is not my first donation, but it is my very first, hopefully of many associate executive producers.
She has great handwriting, printing.
She's a printer.
It's all uppercase, but it's very readable.
Such an honor to be able to produce such a show.
I found you at the end of 2020 through a recommendation from Canary Cry News Talk.
Love those guys.
And like so many other, your perspective on all the COVID shenanigans shrunk my amygdala down to size.
Thank you for all you do.
And thank you to all the boots on the ground in Gitmo Nation who add their voices of expertise to keep us all informed.
You are vital to us.
Teresa Andrews from Camarillo, California.
Beautiful.
Thank you very much, Teresa.
And that wraps up our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1,710 of your No Agenda Show.
We appreciate all of the support that you've given us.
We will be thanking people $50 and above.
And again, a reminder that we always love the sustaining donations.
You can set up any amount, any frequency, any size.
It's all good.
Keep it going.
Keep the show going for at least four more years.
Congrats again to our associate and our executive producers.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Do you remember the last show we were talking about that it was the PBS?
You had the clips of PBS, Aaron Reid, the trans activist.
Oh, yeah.
The one that you kept.
Yes.
That I kept what?
You kept commenting on how ugly she is.
Well, guess what?
Montana representative Zoe Zephyr.
Do you remember Montana representative Zoe Zephyr?
I don't.
Trans.
Zoe Zephyr got kicked out of the room for talking and saying, I'm trans or whatever it was.
So Zoe Zephyr proposed to Aaron Reid and they are to be married.
Oh, that's sweet.
And it's two dudes in dresses.
It's bizarro.
Sounds like it.
And so it's on with NBC News.
Big picture of Zoe.
What happened in the good old days when gay guys just marry each other without, you know.
I know.
And good looking suits and stuff.
And good looking suits.
Yeah.
You know, like looking handsome and stuff.
No, no, no handsomeness is allowed.
Anyway, congrats, fellas.
I'm sorry.
You misgendered them.
It sure did.
Yeah, you're so valid with that point.
Whatever happened to just gay guys looking good.
Like, I love this guy.
I love this guy.
Let's get married.
Fine.
Well, yeah, that's good.
You look handsome.
You smell nice.
Got a little beard going, a little stubble.
Beautiful.
Let me see.
Oh, we might as well get a little update.
Things are not good with climate change.
You know, I have a climate change clip too.
Good.
Yeah, I'll kick it off because we had the COP 16 in Cali, Colombia.
It was it was supposed to be the big party.
And they failed.
They completely failed.
Everyone's miserable.
What?
I have not kept up with this.
Whatever you tell me is news to me.
Empty seats and exhausted delegations.
After 12 days of vigorous debate with the record attendance, the COP 16 Biodiversity Summit in Colombia was wrapped up despite some unfinished business.
Among the 23 goals to be implemented, an agreement on financing policies to preserve nature by 2030 has yet to be reached.
They couldn't get the money part out of it.
Oh, that's a huge fail.
They got no money.
It's a complete epic thing.
You see all these people, you know how they're sitting at the in the big auditorium.
They're all their heads are on their laptops.
They're sleeping.
They're depressed because they couldn't get a check.
Then was the biggest.
Everyone's like, this is the party, man.
This is the one.
This is we're going to get the big that big giant publishers clearinghouse check for biodiversity.
Nope, nothing.
Fail.
What do you have for climate change?
Well, this is kind of in the middle of a discussion about this idea of getting some of our power from satellites.
Our power from satellites?
Yeah, you get to put a big giant space station up there with a bunch of sensors and then you beam the power down and listen, just listen to this.
This is the Iceland Satellite Project.
Created, in fact, essentially for these because these are very different kinds of satellites that we're talking about compared to the standard types that you're familiar with, or even the large ones like the International Space Station.
So if it's going to take a decade or more for this to become cost competitive, there could be the argument that investing in space-based solar is drawing away from funds from mature technologies that we need to be deploying today to meet green energy goals.
So is that a valid criticism of projects like yours and like the Iceland one?
That's kind of a philosophical question is that, you know, if there are technologies that require investment, but they have more return on them, how much do we want to invest in them before we get the return?
But that has been the basic premise of human endeavor that has led us to where we are.
Otherwise, we would have still been in caves.
That is a good point.
You are not involved with this British-Icelandic project to generate enough solar energy from space by around 2036 to power 3,000 Icelandic homes.
Do you think it's a realistic goal?
I think it's a good goal and I think it's possible to achieve something like that.
It's a lofty goal, but the point of it is that it allows us to really understand what kind of technologies we can use for these things and what kind of architectures would be the best ways to achieve this.
So I think it's not an insurmountable objective or challenge, but there will be quite a few remaining technical hurdles to be overcome.
Yeah, like the beaming electricity part.
How does that work?
Hold on a second, though.
Here's the thing that got me about this report.
Have you ever been to Iceland?
No, I think you have, though.
Yes.
It's completely powered by geothermal stuff.
It's sitting on a bunch of volcanoes.
They just stick a probe in the dirt.
The next thing you know, you got enough steam energy coming out.
You don't need anything.
Iceland has got power stations all over the place basically by sticking a probe in the dirt.
And it's like they don't need electricity from outer space.
I want to know how it works.
Beaming wireless electricity.
Oh, it has to do with it.
This is like a Tesla idea where you can take a dish and you can point it at some other dish and you can transfer it.
Don't walk in between, by the way.
All this energy goes from one to the other and you can power stuff.
I saw a demonstration of this once in Telluride where there was a guy transmitting energy across the street.
Okay.
Sounds like another waste of government money, if you ask me.
Well, especially in Iceland, of all places.
You know, in Iceland, they have these, you know, everything's geothermal and they get their hot water into the city.
In Reykjavik, the whole city is not only powered by the volcanoes or by the heat under the ground, but the hot water goes into a hot water pipe.
And so when you take a shower in Iceland, you're getting volcanic water sprayed on you.
That's the hot water.
And it stinks to high heaven.
It smells like sulfur dioxide.
And so, but you don't notice it because it kind of, you know, it's not enough to kill you, but it's enough to make you stink to somebody else.
So if you take a plane flight through Iceland and you have a stopover, which I recommend if for no other reason, just to buy wools at the airport mall, the airport mall, the airport's got a good wool shop.
Anyway, when you get back on the plane, new Icelanders get on the plane, they stink up the plane.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
When you went to Iceland and you went to the wool shop, did you just buy like a like a big ball of yarn or did you know you buy blankets and sweaters, you buy whatever you can.
Oh, I thought just some wool and you're knitting on the plane.
No, I'm not knitting.
But you buy wool, you buy you could buy wool.
But most of this is finished goods.
And it's all duty free because it's handmade.
Most of it.
I love the troll room.
Has Adam Curry not seen cell phone wireless charging?
Yeah, it's not from space, Ned, Ned.
Cell phone wireless.
Yes, yes.
It's called induction.
It's not coming in from outer space.
Yeah, I think every bird that flies through the beam will be knocked out.
Hey, I have two very sad reports.
The first one is short and very sad.
Now to some breaking news.
Three months after she kangaroo hopped onto our screens, Aussie Olympian Rachel Gunn, a.k.a. Ray Gunn, has officially retired from competitive breakdancing.
She did go to a long course after this performance at the Paris Games, copping some heavy criticism for her moves, largely from keyboard warriors, I must say.
Ray Gunn has made the announcement on radio explaining the heavy toll the backlash from this has taken on her and the scrutiny that would be still on her if she kept competing.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't just keyboard warriors.
I think actual breakdancers were giving her crap for not being able to breakdance.
It was that.
Hey, I'm on the opposite side of this.
I would encourage her to continue because it was some of the most entertaining breakdancing I've ever seen.
Well, send her a note.
People should look this up if you haven't seen her.
Yeah, there are lots of YouTube videos.
Go watch her.
Everybody has seen Ray Gunn.
Ray Gunn.
No, this is sad because I knew him.
I sat down with him for an hour for a live radio interview and he was a very interesting guy.
Legendary producer Quincy Jones, a giant in the entertainment industry, has died.
He leaves behind a legacy highlighted by work with some of the biggest stars in American history.
Jones was born and raised on the south side of Chicago and he ascended to become one of the first black executives to succeed in show business.
He arranged jazz records for the likes of Frank Sinatra and produced, of course, the hit Michael Jackson albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad.
He also discovered Will Smith while producing The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
He won 28 Grammys, an Emmy and an Honorary Academy Award.
I feel like the most blessed person on the planet to have come along the path that I came musically from 13 years old, you know, starting with Ray Charles at 14.
He was 16 and going through Clark Terry and Basie and Vinnie Carter, everybody from Billy Holiday, Louis Armstrong, all the way to 50 Cent.
Wow.
Quincy Jones died last night at home in Bel Air, surrounded by family.
He was 91 years old.
I always thought Thriller was one of the greatest produced albums in the history of music.
It's fantastic.
But he produced Lena Horne.
I mean, he's old.
He orchestrated it.
I mean, but still just the body of work he orchestrated.
Yeah, he was talented for Sinatra.
Yeah.
So I had a live interview with him in the early 90s on hit line, hit line, USA, coast to coast.
And I was like, you have a copy of it.
I wish I had a copy of it.
Oh, you didn't keep it.
And the producer, Dana Miller, he died years ago.
And so yeah, they're driving dead, if anyone knows.
And he was the executive producer.
The producer, his name was Dean.
I forget his last name.
He went to jail for some real estate scam, real estate fraud.
So I have a feeling that endless summer entertainment archives no longer exist.
But I do remember this interview.
Somebody has it in their basement.
I hope so.
It was set up in a studio, like a recording studio.
And it was dimly lit.
There was a table in the middle, two chairs, two mics.
And I'm there like, Quincy Jones, like, what am I going to ask this guy?
This is quite the talent.
He comes in with a bottle of Latour.
And he slaps it down.
He says, let's have a great hour.
And we drink the bottle of vintage.
I don't remember.
But Quincy was a real.
What year was this?
92.
It could have been 90, could have been 90.
Whether it'd be too young, I'd say probably maybe an 85 Latour.
He was a wine guy, man.
He was a.
And he turns out.
82 Latour, that would do it.
Well, I remember it was quite delicious.
And we actually, we're kind of tipsy about 30 minutes.
Let's take another call.
Well, Quincy had already had a few because it turns out he had a bit of an alcohol problem at the time.
I don't think he was bringing Latour in for my benefit.
He's like, I need something to drink.
His go to.
He's like Johnny Depp.
All he drinks is like Grand Cru burgundies.
It's like, wow, exactly, exactly.
And then we have something that most people learned about on the no agenda show.
I certainly did.
Leonard Glenn Francis, known as Fat Leonard, was the mastermind of a bribery and fraud scheme that ensnared the US Navy for a decade and cost the US government millions of dollars.
Today, inside this federal courthouse, Fat Leonard was sentenced to 15 years in prison and ordered to pay $20 million in restitution.
Sketches depicted the scene in the courtroom as Judge Janice San Martino called Francis a, quote, mastermind of an insidious conspiracy to commit bribery and fraud.
For decades, Francis offered naval officers lavish hotels, dinners, wines, cigars and prostitutes.
In turn, the officers steered Navy ships and business to Asian ports that Francis controlled.
Once there, Francis would overbill the US government tens of millions of dollars in port expenses.
In 2013, Francis was arrested, agreed to plead guilty and cooperated in a corruption investigation that led to the indictment of nearly three dozen government and Navy officials.
However, in 2017, while in custody, Francis cut off his ankle monitor and escaped to Venezuela.
Eventually, he was returned to the US as part of a prisoner swap.
Today in court, a somber Francis said he sincerely regretted his misconduct and called his actions inexcusable.
I kind of like the upscale hookers and blow cigars and prostitutes.
I kind of like that.
We should add that to the roundtable.
I think we should add that cigars and prostitutes, cigars and prostitutes.
Very nice.
I'm sure they're Cubanos.
So a couple of Medicare discussion clips.
Oh, okay.
Yes, that will be important for me within a couple of years.
Yeah, you're gonna have to start thinking about it.
Here we go.
Medicare discussion.
The question, isn't it mandatory?
Like you have to go on Medicare?
I thought I heard it was mandatory.
I don't know that it is.
I heard it was mandatory.
It might be.
I mean, you'd be nuts not to take it.
I heard you can get fined if you don't sign up for it.
I don't know this.
I mean, it's possible, but nobody in their right mind wouldn't sign up for it because it's so much cheaper than the private insurance.
Benefit covered by Medicare.
Currently, if you need.
I'm sorry, is this the one?
Yeah.
Home care and you don't have some money to hire someone, you and your family need to deplete your savings to qualify for help.
That's just not right.
That's not right.
So we're going to change the approach and allow Medicare to cover the cost of home care so seniors can get the help and care they need in their own homes.
That home care benefit, Amna, would also cover people with disabilities that are on Medicare and policy experts that we talked to said that that could end up covering millions of seniors.
So those are the plans we've heard from Vice President Harris.
How do those differ from the plans we've heard from former President Trump?
Wait a minute.
If you need home care, you can't get it on Medicare.
She's mixing up Medicare.
No, of course not, because it's like it's but she's mixing up Medicare with Medicaid.
When she talks about you have to break the bank, you have to sell everything.
You got to get your income down.
It's got nothing to do with your income.
Medicare is just it comes right out of your Social Security.
And how much is it?
How much is it a month?
Oh, it's not that much.
It's like I'm OK.
I don't have the number, but I'm guessing it's about anywhere between 400 and 800 dollars a month max.
Oh, that's a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Let me tell you about when I was working at Mevio.
So I'm working at Mevio.
Luckily, I made the transfer right to Medicare right afterwards.
And at Mevio, because Jay, it was under the policy.
And so she had an appendectomy.
And so I kind of remember this, I think.
Yeah, she had an appendectomy.
And so she and it was nothing more than poking her.
They didn't cut her open or anything.
It was all done by probes.
Yeah.
And the bill for the appendectomy was thirty thousand dollars.
Oh, that's cheap by today's standards.
It's basically outpatient stuff.
Wait, was this the time when you said when I had to fire you and you said, no, no, can you keep me on the payroll for another month or so so I can get this appendectomy out of the way?
No, no.
I thought that happened.
I can't imagine.
I am.
So I know I would have done it.
You never got fired.
Me, you would you.
I downgrade.
I did.
I did downsize you.
You know, but that was years earlier.
Oh, and they stayed on the on the on the on the.
Yeah, on the health plan, of course.
Yeah, man, of course.
So I found out after they moved the whole operation to L.A. and I was like cut loose and I was also part of the mad scramble to steal everything in the office, which is very broadcasting.
I was already gone.
Classic movie kind of thing.
You know, it was gone.
Yeah.
You put stickers on everything.
Everybody stole everything.
And so the place was just bare and empty.
We're going to move it anyway.
Come on, Rance.
The way it goes.
So but I'm still worked.
I didn't get the Sennheiser level.
There might get anything.
Did you get any?
Yeah, I got some speaker systems.
I got a Macintosh computer.
What else did I get?
I got two or three things.
I got enough stuff.
It was fine.
OK, and who got the most?
Who got off with the most gear?
Carlos, I think.
I think Eddie.
No, no, he didn't.
No, no.
It was one of the executives.
It was somebody.
Yeah.
Don't kid yourself.
Like, so he must have stole the most.
So we so I found out after they had cut me loose and move the operation to L.A. that they were paying $4,100 a month for my health care.
What?
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, I just want the reason I said it's expensive is because Tina has crowd health and I have what is it called?
Christian Ministries Health.
And it's it's like a collaborative.
I understand that mechanism.
Yeah, they have a bunch of those.
Not everybody does.
I'm trying to you know, I'm not trying to outdo.
I'm just saying I do.
I understand.
They advertise it on the radio.
Explain how it works then so people understand this is a good tip.
It's essentially a pool.
Yeah.
We have a bunch of people.
They pool their money and then they don't.
They have an administrator that doles it out.
It's it's it's kind of like a poor man's insurance.
Yes.
And we she pays, I think, 250 and like 250 a month each versus versus 3000.
For like a $8,000 deductible.
Yeah.
No, this this whole thing.
Ever since the insurance companies took over the medical professions with this bull crap.
Don't let the government do it.
It's been just a giant scam.
Yeah.
They're making billions and billions of dollars off the off the taxpayers back.
Bastards.
Hey, Trump will fix it.
He's not fixing.
Nobody's fixing it.
All right.
Second clip.
Yeah.
Some of Donald Trump's top health care positions are to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
He also wants to lower health care insurance premiums, but doesn't have details on how he'd do that.
He has been silent on protecting Medicaid, and he also wants to institute an anti-vaccine mandate for public schools.
Now, recently, Donald Trump also said that he would put Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr., a staunch anti-vaxxer, in charge of health care policy.
Robert F.
Kennedy cares more about human beings and health and the environment than anybody.
I'm going to let him go wild on health.
I'm going to let him go wild on the food.
I'm going to let him go wild on medicines.
Health experts, Amna, say that appointing someone like RFK, Jr., to potentially lead health and human services, to lead the Centers for Disease Control, could end up spreading more public health disinformation because he has been known to do that.
On that Medicaid front, Amna, Trump has said that he wants to reduce federal government spending, and he wants to cut taxes, and that he doesn't want to touch Social Security or Medicare to do it.
Health experts are concerned that that means there's going to be a big target on Medicaid.
OK.
Well, this is very good because I have a whole bunch.
I'm going to play only two clips of RFK, Jr. from the Today Show.
Who did this report about Medicare?
This was, I think this was PBS, actually.
What a bunch of liars.
Yes, PBS.
Yeah, they're liars.
PBS is the worst.
I don't want to say it over and over again.
If people are donating their money to PBS or NPR, please send it to us.
So the Today, correct.
Today's show interviewed RFK, Jr. about a very aggressive, very aggressive interview.
So it's too long for the amount of show we have left.
But I will play the two bits about vaccines.
Are there specific vaccines that you would seek to take off the market?
No, I'm not going to take away anybody's vaccines.
I've never been in any vaccine.
You will not take any vaccine that is currently on the market?
I'm not.
If somebody, if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going to take them away.
People ought to have a choice.
And that choice ought to be informed by the best information.
So I'm going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficiencies are out there.
And people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them.
Would that include COVID vaccines that are currently on the market?
I want the best science for every vaccine.
It is part of that in during the pandemic, the height of the pandemic, you were questioning the FDA and calling them out for approving the emergency authorization of the COVID vaccines.
If you had been in charge of the FDA at that time, would you have blocked the authorization of the COVID vaccines?
What I was saying at that time is the vaccines are not going to prevent transmission, which they were telling the public that they would.
They were saying you need to take this vaccine in order to protect grandma.
I knew in May of 2020 that the vaccines were not going to protect against transmission because I was actually reading the monkey studies.
Oh, OK.
So here's the aggressive NBC producer.
RFK Jr. Is like, well, I read the research and they were not going to prevent transmission to kill grandma.
You would not have told the FDA.
I want the authorization.
I would have been honest with the American people.
And so you wouldn't have blocked it.
I would have.
I would have been honest with the American people.
So you wouldn't have.
You wouldn't have blocked it.
I wouldn't have directly blocked it.
I would have made sure that we had the best science.
And there was no effort to do that at that time.
And if there is another pandemic that were to strike, why should the American public have confidence that you would allow a vaccine to be made available for the market?
Even if it's.
I mean, let me point this out.
They should not have confidence in the people who are managing our pandemic.
We have the worst record of any country in the world.
So we had 16 percent of the covid deaths in the United States of America.
We only have four point two percent of the globe's population.
So whatever we were doing in this country was the worst of every country in the world.
So we may soon very, very soon find out exactly how well Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. performs with a pandemic, because there's a new one coming for 40 monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemesee.
WJCL 22 News is Kyra Nouveau live in the low country, keeping his head on a swivel with those primates on the run.
And of course, this is a public safety alert.
Ky, what is the latest on these missing monkeys?
Well, Frank, good morning.
So, yeah, like you mentioned, 40 monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis facility.
It happened around nine forty five last night, and police are asking anyone to just if they see them to stay away.
And that's why we're here at the municipal complex here in Yemesee.
But here's what police are doing right now to find those monkeys.
Like I mentioned, happened nine forty monkeys escaped nine forty five last night.
And currently, police have placed traps all around the area to capture those monkeys.
Now, so far, I have no idea what those traps actually look like.
And we're trying to get more information about that.
But police are also utilizing on site thermal imaging cameras in attempt to locate these monkeys.
Now, the monkeys are used at the facility for biomedical research.
And this isn't the first time those monkeys actually escaped from the Alpha Genesis facility.
Back in 2016, 19 monkeys made a break from the compound, but they were all captured about six hours later.
Now, residents are being asked to lock their doors, lock their windows, and if they see these monkeys, just stay away and call police.
Now we're trying to make some contact with the local police here to get any update on if they captured and captured any.
But so far, we have not heard back.
Live in Yemesee, I'm Kyra Neville.
Back.
I'm telling you, man, there's mutant monkeys from South Carolina on the loose.
Glad we got our impact shots.
Jeez.
You can just wait for it.
You know, it's a bogus.
It's like the bogus swine flu thing that took place before the one.
Remember that one?
They're lined up for shots.
Oh, yeah, those people.
You know, I think Kennedy could handle these kinds of drillings better for a politician that he wants to be.
Well, he's going to learn.
He's steamrolled by these guys.
He's going to learn.
The problem is the way you handle it for people out there are amateurs.
You go.
Well, that's not the question you should.
You just say use this phrase.
That's not the question you should be asking what you want to know.
Yeah.
OK, so I'll do it and then you be RFK Jr. You got to do the voice.
I can't do that voice without hurting myself.
All right.
So would you are you an anti-vaxxer?
Would you block the vaccine?
Would you have blocked the covid vaccine?
Would you?
That's not the question you want to be asking.
What you want to ask is what I like for breakfast.
I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Come on.
You're no agenda.
Show episode seventeen hundred and ten.
A dynamite end of show mixes.
Secret agent Paul returns and the coveted and very often spoken of tip of the day.

This is a baronet upgrade note.
You probably, I think, are obligated to read.
I will.
ITM.
My last donation brought me to baronet status, but I failed to mention it.
John, your pad adhesive tip reminded me of a story my father used to tell.
His stepfather worked for a paper company back in the 50s and would bring a stack of new bills into the factory to have them bound into a pad.
Not sure the denomination, but he enjoyed being presented with a tab, a bill for dinner, pulling the pad from his vest pocket and peeling sequentially numbered bills off one at a time to pay the server.
Hilarity ensued.
I commend you for dreaming up with this gag on the fly.
It's still funny after 20 years, he says.
Which brings me to a topper gag that some people have done.
OK, topper gag.
You can get ahold of the Treasury Department and buy full sheets of 20s or ones.
Really?
You can buy a full sheet uncut.
You can cut them yourself.
And you can cut them in front of someone.
And hand them the money.
Is this really true?
You can still.
Yes, you can get full uncut sheets of dollars, fives, tens and 20s.
And I guess hundreds.
I love it.
Yes, you can do this.
And that is a that is an even better gag to be honest.
That should have been a tip of the day.
I don't know why you're throwing it away.
Yeah, I threw it away.

Congratulations, Sir Ralph.
Count Not Sure becomes Duke Not Sure, keeper of the Trilakes and Southern Front Range.
And Sir Not Jake becomes Baronet Sir Not Jake.
We read his note earlier.
Congratulations and thank you all for supporting the No Agenda Show and upping your status on the peerage ladder.
Now it is time for our Commodores.
The final Commodores who will be welcoming.
I think we're pretty much done for now.
And we would like to welcome...
Commodore Sir Animus, Commodore J.Drawn, Commodore Robert Dawson and Commodore Commodore, eight squared, arriving.
We might as well go straight into our Doctors of Education.
I do not have a series of sound effects for a Doctor of Education.
I'm not sure what I should do, really, for Doctors of Education.
I got it.
We welcome and congratulate Sir Animus, now a Doctor of Education, along with Count Not Sure, Jerry, Dame Marie and Paul Fellner.
All of you need to go to noagendarings.com where you can find out exactly how to get everything sent to you, what titles you would like, both on the Commodore ships, along with your Doctors of Education.
And of course, these are real Doctors of Education because we certify you as Doctors of Education specifically in climate change studies.
We have a couple of layaway knights who sent in some nice notes.
The first one is Ralph.
He says, even though I'm repeating myself, thanks for all the work you and John do.
I'm a contributor for quite a while now.
I'm not sure about the exact date of my first donation, but it's probably been 15 years ago.
My recurring $33.33 brought me over the hump for Duke the same way it did for all other titles.
But obviously, I helped the cause with some extra donations.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It said title changes.
I should have read this earlier.
I humbly request the title of Duke of Neutral Moorsnet and Deutschland.
From my home, I can see both.
Well, parts of both.
I live in Aachen, Germany, and the Drie Landenpunt is in view.
No jingles, but he would like some retirement karma.
Retirement may still wait a bit, but I need karmatic help to find the right moment.
That is Sir Ralph, who was Earl of Neutral Moorsnet and Deutschland.
We'll give him that karma as requested.
Thank you, Ralph.
You've got karma.
And then a layaway switcheroo.
John and Adam, as of Election Day 2024, the beginning of a new golden age for America, my 20-month night layaway plan is complete.
I would like to do a switcheroo and bestow the knighthood on my son, Michael, who hit me in the mouth just in time for you guys to get me through the COVID scam and the ensuing war against Trump for the past four years.
We both need to be deduced as well.
You've been deduced.
That will be for your son, Michael, and now for David.
You've been deduced.
And that means we can bring up the knights.
We have our blades at the ready.
Michael Robertson, Commodore 64, and Conor J.
Bailey step up here to the podium.
All three of you are about to become knights of the NOAA Gender Roundtable.
I'm very proud to pronounce the KV as...

I have way too many ISOs.
Well, good, I have two.
You want to play yours and we'll see if I can top it.
Okay.
I'm going to, I'm cutting a couple out here.
Let me see.
All right.
So here is this first one.
You guys are just the filter.
Okay, I got a laugh.
I got this one.
That's a good one.
This one.
Oh, would you look at the time?
I better be going.
Yeah, not great.
This one.
And they think you're the one that's brainwashed.
Okay.
But this, I think, is the one.
These are grade one national treasures.
I like the filter one better.
You like the first one?
You guys are just the filter.
That is kind of funny.
Okay.
Well, I got two.
I was almost going to relent and just give you that one, but I'll try these.
Okay, because you never know.
I got a, I got, how did we, how did we get here?
Yeah, yeah.
And I got a such a podcast.
I would normally, you can bring the such a podcast back for Sunday show, because I think it's worth it.
But I think there's a clear winner here.
You guys are just the filter.
Come on.
Yeah.
You know what makes it work?
Is that is a chuckle and it's Nora.
That's the best part.
Yes.
I, yeah, it's Nora.
She also did a sticker in that whole bit.
She did a voice, another voice, but yeah, she's gone.
She's done.
All right, everybody.
What is not done is the best part of the show.
John's tip of the day.
Well, this is a tip that you're not going to like.
Hold on.
Wait for the jingle to end.
This is a tip you're not going to like.
Why would I not like your tip?
Because it's just a tip you're not going to like.
Oh, and it's not a tip that everyone's going to take advantage of.
Because actually, I don't know if you can do this free because I haven't found a way to do that.
I'm sure there's some way, but this is and I want to get feedback from Linda Lou Patkin about this.
This is a very interesting site called insta headshots.com.
Why would I not like insta headshots?
I'm already liking it.
Because what you do is you send it five photos or two photos or three floors, and it creates a bogus headshot using AI that are just fabulous.
Have you used this for yourself?
No, I don't need to do this.
I just am fascinated by the fact that they can do this.
It's a fascinating product.
I want to hear from Linda Lou Patkin about it.
Oh, yeah.
For the resume.
Sure.
That makes sense.
It's for people who do because there's all the people have snapshots, million pictures from their phones, but they don't have a professional.
And I don't like the idea of putting professional photographers out of work.
But I think professional photographers could use this product themselves because most people that are getting put out of work, like the artists and spot art and all the rest, they should just join, go on, go start becoming a prompt jockey.
And then you have the art background.
You know, it looks good.
OK, that's the part.
Yeah, you're right.
You're telling people to give in to the AI.
Yeah, I don't like that part of your tip.
Yeah, I know.
But there's nothing you can do.
Well, what I think I will do is I'm going to try this this gizmo out.
I'm going to try.
What's it called again?
Insta headshot.
I'm going to try instaheadshot.com.
Is it?
Yes.
And I will upload that to my Cameo account.
That's right, everybody.
Fifty bucks.
I'll say hi to you on video.
There it is.
John, tip of the day, tipoftheday.net.
Truly valuable tips that you can only get here on the No Agenda show.
Some people go straight to the end.
That's kind of your spot.
People used to buy PC Magazine, go straight to the back page.
Now people go straight to the end of the podcast to hear your tip of the day.
It's your format, man.
It's your format.
Well, I was on the back page of Mac User and a bunch of other publications.
But PC Magazine, it was in the middle.
No, sorry.
Just so I don't so I don't have a false whatever.
End of show mix is coming up from Dee's last Professor Jay Jones.
And secret agent Paul returns with a beautiful, a beautiful ditty.
Coming up next on No Agenda Stream, trollroom.io, the modern podcast apps.
Random Thoughts will be riding the red wave that was recorded yesterday.
So make sure you stay tuned for that.
Thank you all very much for tuning in.
Lots of trolls, a tidal wave of trolls joined us.
Tell somebody about the show and remember us.
Support us.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering, where's Tim Walz?
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.
Until Sunday.
Adios, mofos, hui hui, and such.
I think it's going to be a blow up, actually.
I think she's going to win.
You wrote something.
It's toast.
Do you stand behind that today?
Oh, even more so.
You just stepped up.
I anticipate that something will happen in October, as it always does.
So you look at where people get their information.
And they get their information largely from social media.
And so the campaign is doing the best job it can to combat that.
Combat both domestic and foreign false disinformation.
But I anticipate there will be a full court press in October.
Crop collapse, fisheries collapse, unfolding, ozone layer collapse, global rain cycle collapse, record droughts, record firestorms, record deluges, all taking place.
A shiny new aerosol might work best.
Injecting about 5 million tons of diamond dust into the atmosphere each year would be enough to cool the planet.
Diamonds are forever.
Geoengineering in the sky with diamonds.
Diamond dust.
They are all I need.
Does anyone actually buy into such utter and total nonsense from the so-called climate science community?
Geoengineering is controversial at best and risky at worst.
One of the most researched proposals, they say, is stratospheric aerosol injection.
And of course, no mention of the climate engineering elements that have been showing up in rain samples for decades.
Aluminum, barium, strontium, manganese, surfactants.
This must change soon.
We're running out of time.
