I make phones.
Adam Curry.
John C.
Dvorak.
It's Thursday, October 30th, 2025.
This is your award-winning give-on-Asian
-media-assassination-episode-1812.
This is no agenda.
Canadians are beating us at baseball, and we're
broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas
Hill Country here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I have
nothing clever to say, especially about baseball, I'm
John C.
Dvorak.
It's crackpot and buzzkill.
In the morning.
And here I am thinking you'd be impressed
by my sportsball knowledge.
I am.
Oh, thank you.
And- Tell us what's- okay, tell
us what's happening.
Well, I'll tell you exactly what's happening.
We are so distraught over Canadians beating us
at baseball that we are bringing out the
Curse of the Colonel.
World Series is on tonight in L.A.,
and we have to see if Colonel Sanders
is there again.
A look-a-like of Colonel was spotted
behind home plate Saturday.
One theory is it's a reference to the
Curse of the Colonel, a Japanese belief that
the ghost of Colonel Sanders cursed a Japanese
baseball team after someone threw a statue of
him from a local KFC into a river.
Now, the Dodgers have three players from Japan.
The Curse of the Colonel, surely you've heard
of that.
Yeah.
So- I knew you'd be impressed.
I knew it.
Yeah, well, that's a good clip to pull.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Dodgers have gone- they've just
gone flat.
Mookie Betts is the key to this.
Mookie Betts?
Mookie?
Mookie.
Who's Mookie?
Mookie.
Can't hit the ball.
Mookie.
What's wrong with Mookie?
So is it 3-2 right now?
Is that the standing?
3-2?
3- yes, and whoever wins the fourth
game wins the World Series, so the Dodgers
can come back, but they're going back to
Toronto, the likelihood watching them try to bat,
except for Ohtani, who is just, you know,
he's hanging in there.
I remember- The rest of the team
can't hit.
I remember when the Japanese- didn't the
Japanese win once?
Didn't they win the World Series once?
I'm pretty sure they did.
Wow.
I'm pretty sure they did.
There you go.
You were doing so well.
I'm sure- You were hanging in there,
actually.
I'm sure the Japanese won at one time.
I remember- Oh, yeah.
It was an outrage.
They had their shot at it, sure.
It was an outrage.
I remember it.
Wow.
As I was reflecting this morning, as I
often do, I was thinking to myself, John,
I really love doing this show with you.
Of all the things I could be doing
with my life at 61, yeah, it's rocky.
It's a roller coaster, but it is fun.
Let's just admit it.
I mean, you could have to be booking
guests.
Have a- Well, that was the-
Okay.
Just for people out there, we don't want
to bore you stiff with the background how
great we are.
Yeah, no.
We're great.
Come on.
We're great.
The best decision we ever made when we
came up with this show idea was to
never have guests.
People out there have no idea.
They really don't.
It's the worst.
I mean, I saw Joe Rogan had Miranda
Lambert on, which I thought was an interesting
choice, but then you really know that the
podcast, the podosphere has become saturated with guests
when Joe's reaching for, really, that's very off,
almost off brand for him.
Do you even know who Miranda Lambert is?
No, I do not.
I'm waiting for you to kind of tell
me without embarrassing me, the fact that I
don't know who the hell this is.
She's a very famous country singer and she
was married to Blake Shelton.
Oh, yes.
No, I do know who it is.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
I do know.
Yes.
No.
Before Blake dumped her to run off with
the blonde.
Yeah.
From No Doubt.
Yeah.
That girl.
The No Doubt girl.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's like, oh, and I
get, how many notes did you, I got,
you need to watch Tucker and Nick Fuentes.
I know you hate Tucker, which, by the
way, we don't hate Tucker at all.
We like Tucker.
I think he's great.
We like Tucker, exactly.
Just because we complain about him.
I did watch that episode.
I thought that was interesting.
Mo actually tweeted out a funny meme.
He said, finally, the war is settled between
the FBI and the CIA.
They're friends again.
Now, that's an inside joke, I guess.
Well, it's a running gag of this show.
Yeah, it's a running gag because, you know,
the story is, of course, Tucker's a fed
and Fuentes is a fed.
And, oh, yeah.
It's a good bit.
And as I'm listening to that podcast, because
I don't watch podcasts, I got no time
to watch a podcast.
I listen to the podcast.
I'm like, this Fuentes, he's, he's a political
guy.
I didn't realize he has a PAC and
he does, you know, he organizes for people
that he thinks should win office.
He's political.
He's a moneymaker.
He must be.
Well, I don't know if he's making a
lot of money, but I'm sure he's good.
No, I mean, in terms of making money
for candidates.
Yeah.
He's a fundraiser.
That's the word I should have used.
So they had a lot more in common
than they did differences.
And as I'm listening to this and I,
you know, all, all the Jew hate, all
that, who cares?
I don't care what they're talking about there.
But I thought this was interesting that neither
of neither of them really are really honest
about their feelings towards other countries other than
Israel.
Listen to this little clip.
I just feel like it needs to be
called out explicitly.
And I like what you said is the
other day, if you're serving in another country's
military or have dual citizenship.
Hold on, stop that clip.
That clip is stopped.
Did it go like, did the thing tend
to go, I like what you said the
other day, I like what you said.
No, I liked what you said.
No, no, no.
I liked what you said better than what
you liked what I said.
No, no, no, it wasn't like that.
But this is particularly, this is that they
both have a problem with Israel and the
perception that Israel controls American politicians.
That's, that's their, that's, that's where they really
have common ground.
Now, this show is of a different opinion
that Israel does not control America.
Indirectly, it may, it may have influence on
our politicians through AIPAC, funded by the military
industrial complex, who sends military money for them
to buy our stuff.
Okay.
Yes.
Before you continue, did you watch JD Vance's
speech at the University of Mississippi?
Some of it.
Yeah.
Some of it.
Why?
He brought this same, he brought the topic
up.
Oh gosh.
I wish I did not see that.
What did he say?
He brought the topic.
I didn't clip it.
It's just, he's really a good speaker.
It's kind of surprising how good he is.
But he brought the topic up.
He's totally with us.
Oh, really now?
Okay.
I'll have to clip it now.
No, I'll have to go and- Well,
just go look at it and see.
Just for prosperity.
I mean, it was a little longer than
I'd like.
Yeah.
Well, just for prosperity.
But this is true.
This is blatantly true.
And you notice how that noise is kind
of simmered down a little bit, but not
with these two.
But here's the thing that I just felt
was like, oh, you know, it just hit
me like, no, you guys are full of
crap.
Listen.
I just feel like it needs to be
called out explicitly.
And I like what you said.
If the other day, if you're serving in
another country's military or have dual citizenship, you
really can't be a part of this project.
Well, that's just, that's an easy one.
But I am much more comfortable as a
Christian and an American keeping it on that
level because, you know, it's easy to just
set rules, universal rules that apply to everyone,
not just the Jews or the Christians or
the anybody, just like Americans can only serve
in the US military or they lose their
passport.
I mean, I don't know.
That's not hard.
And I don't know.
Why not?
Why not just say that?
No, I'm not saying that.
So as I'm listening to that, I'm like,
where were Tucker and Fuentes about the hundreds,
perhaps thousands of people who went and fought
for the Ukrainians?
How come I didn't hear anyone talking about,
well, you can't do that.
That's you're fighting for a different country.
You should lose your passport.
Yeah.
Great catch.
Yeah.
So that just shows a severe bias.
But then on the other hand, it was
fascinating to hear Fuentes.
And now I agree with him on this
one.
He was talking about an assassination attempt that
was made against him.
And it was some young guy who, the
whole story is kind of lengthy, so I
didn't include that.
Some young guy who had a fight with
his roommate and he shot his roommate, then
shot his parents and then went to go
kill Fuentes, which didn't happen, luckily for him,
of course.
But here's his thinking of who was behind
this.
I mean, it's a well-documented fact that
all kinds of bad actors use unstable people
for political assassinations.
Right.
It's happened.
We know it.
So here's Tucker setting it up.
Like, come on, man.
We know Israel did it.
So do you think this might be an
example of that?
I don't think so.
But it's certainly possible.
The reason I say I don't think so
- It's kind of funny.
I mean, I think of you as conspiracy
minded, but you don't have a conspiracy in
mind here.
No, because I really believe that when you
look at all these things, and by these
things, I mean these like really disturbing instances
of violence like Luigi Mangione or Charlie Kirk
or these school shootings, there is something going
on with these kids.
It's nihilism.
It's these people that are maybe mentally defective,
extremely online.
I think there's like a real problem there.
And I don't doubt that sometimes these people
are involved with maybe a foreign government or
they're being groomed or put up to it
by an operative.
But I think to assume that it's always
that ignores that, like, there's a very real
problem of nihilistic, surrealist violence that comes from
young people.
And, you know, like this guy kill it's
a triple homicide out of nowhere.
And then he tries to kill me.
I think he just went crazy.
But I could be wrong.
Oh, oh, off brand.
Charlie Kirk.
Oh, no.
Very good.
Nick Quintus.
I like that.
Like, no, these are just kids who have
been who've been psyoped and gone nuts by
discord and social media and drugs.
I like the use of his term extremely
online.
Yeah.
Did you hear that in there?
That's almost a show title.
These kids are extremely online.
I've heard that.
What?
Extremely online.
Wow.
I think I heard that somewhere else, actually.
Extremely.
Really?
Yeah.
It may be kind of.
It's an interesting term because it it's not
really it's something it's so strange.
It doesn't really make sense.
It's almost a non sequitur, which will that
use of that word annoys a couple of
our grammarians.
What non sequitur?
Yeah, they they've gotten some notes on our
use of the term that we're not we're
misusing it in some screwball way.
Oh, what is the correct usage of non?
Well, it means something that it's a non
sequitur is a sentence that that within itself
doesn't make sense in the broadest definition.
But it's very specific.
If you're one of these ant fuckers that
are out there that listen to our show,
they and they went into some good stuff
about extremely online, about porn.
It was funny talkers like what even is
online porn?
Like what?
What?
Huh?
You know, it leads you to transgenderism and
I didn't clip that.
But it was it's worth listening to.
It was, you know, considering how they've spoken
about each other in their own shows.
It was like, OK, there was no fireworks.
It was like the mutual admiration club.
It's interesting.
Yeah, you run into that in the overnights.
Europe is slowly deteriorating and falling.
This was unexpected, even by my stand, even
by the polling standards.
The big winner of this Dutch election is
38 year old Rob Jetten with his centre
left party D66.
A pro European, his popularity skyrocketed in the
final stretch of the election.
His message was full of optimism and his
strong media presence resonated with the Dutch people.
This is an historic election result because we've
shown not only to the Netherlands, but also
to the world that it is possible to
beat populist and extreme right movements.
And I'm very eager to cooperate with other
parties.
The campaign focused mainly on immigration and the
housing crisis, which particularly affects young people in
this densely populated country.
It's a disappointing night for the far right
leader who topped the polls in 2023.
It is a significant loss, but we are
still a large party.
I'm sure we can find a way up
next time.
It was Geert Wilders himself who triggered these
early elections.
He withdrew his party from a fragile four
party coalition for not being tough enough on
immigration, which brought down the outgoing government.
His score in this election is being closely
scrutinized across Europe and serves as a barometer
of the strength of the far right across
the continent.
The far right, the far right is crashing
and burning.
I think Eva Vlaardingenbroek had the best analysis.
You know, I could never pronounce her name.
Yeah, I know.
She should change her name to some Hollywood
style name.
Yes, let's say Eva Jones.
No, that's not Hollywood.
Well, Eva Smith, Eva Smith would be good.
Eva Eden.
There you go.
Eva Eden.
Yeah, brings up Garden of Eden, Eva Eden.
That would be perfect.
That's a good Hollywood name.
Call Brunetti.
Eva Eden.
But the problem, I have a problem with
the way it does it.
It doesn't, I don't think it flows as
well as.
Eva St. George.
How about Eva St. James?
I like the idea of slipping the same
name in there.
If you're going to do a fake name,
because that makes the person look, you know,
better than they are in some subconscious way.
So you like it.
Here's what Eva St. James said.
She said, oh, that's Dutch.
Oh, this means more mass migration, more replacement,
more climate regulations, more censorship, more EU, more
gender madness.
And Rob Yetton, a woke, openly gay champagne
socialist, will most likely become the country's prime
minister.
They forgot to mention that in the report,
that he's a gay champagne socialist.
I like champagne socialist.
It's another show title.
Another show title.
Yes, that is good.
Well, I think that should bring us to
this woman, Naomi.
Which one?
She's a German girl who set up a
lot of she's very famous in Germany.
And she's this is Naomi Sebert or Selbs.
I can't even pronounce her last name.
But she is a big supporter of AFD
in Germany.
And she is asking for asylum in the
United States.
Bring her on in.
She's welcome right away.
No problem.
My name is Naomi Sebert.
Sorry, I have two clips.
I was on cue just so you know.
My name is Naomi Sebert, and I am
the first European to seek asylum in the
United States of America under President Trump's new
proposal for a refugee mandate, because I am
facing persecution in my home country, Germany, for
my political views, for my support for the
AFD party, the only opposition party in Germany.
And most importantly, for my advocacy for free
speech.
I have become the target of severe government
and intelligence surveillance and harassment.
My communications have been intercepted.
And my family has been stalked by reporters
for the state media for whom we pay
taxes.
And I continue to receive death threats from
Antifa.
Before we continue, the troll room has an
important question for you.
The question is, is she hot?
She is a this is interesting.
She's got a she's got a look that's
very distinctive German.
But it's a it's not the American style
of hot.
But I think I think she's a German
style.
Give her a number.
I give her an eight, five.
Wow.
That's if I was a European.
She doesn't have what she's missing for Americans
is she doesn't have that big million dollar
smile.
Oh, that's too bad.
She's got kind of a small that that's
that old fashioned, small doll mouth mouth.
So she looks like a German doll.
She's got a doll face.
She's seeped.
She's she looks a bit like Avril Lavigne
in her younger years, only with blonde hair.
And now, by the way, it's offensive to
a lot of people out there that we
talk like this.
No, no, this is this is.
But we're doing this as media executives, which
is what we are.
Yes.
We need to determine, does she have legs?
And I didn't see her legs.
Does she have legs in the media?
She is.
Oh, definitely.
She is the alter ego to Greta Thunberg,
I would say.
Well, she's that's where she got her reputation.
Ah, OK, let's continue.
When I asked the police for help in
the past about these death threats, they did
not offer me help because physical harm had
not occurred yet.
President Trump has correctly identified Antifa as a
terrorist organization.
But meanwhile, the German government silently condone these
attacks on their own citizens as if they
are soldiers for their agenda.
This year, I helped arrange the viral ex
-life conversation between Elon Musk and AfD leader
Alice Weidel, which I'm sure many of you
have seen as it drew international media coverage.
While Europe is becoming a breeding ground for
tyranny, America still treats the right to free
speech as sacred.
And thank God for that.
In Germany, it is illegal under paragraph 188,
which was extended under former Chancellor Angela Merkel,
to insult or damage the reputation of a
politician.
I will not apologize for violating their legal
special protection because in a democracy, politicians must
tolerate criticism.
She's kind of the German Eva St. James.
Wouldn't you say?
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, that's good.
I like her rap.
She's got clear diction.
Yeah, yeah, she's very she's like the Dutch
girl.
She's the Dutch girl is she has a
funny style that I've always been kind of
fascinated with.
She's the Dutch girl, I think, is a
little colder.
She's in a Dutch way, that kind of
that neutral style of presentation.
Yes, I would call it matter of fact.
Yeah, this girl's got a little more emotion
underneath it.
She is slightly irked, but she's doing this
sincerely.
So well, you got another clip here.
This is good.
The reason why the German government and intelligence
gained an interest in me is because I
was the very first young English speaking influencer
to openly align with the AFD party, right
of center political views.
And most importantly, I supported President Trump since
he came down the golden escalator in 2015
and announced that he was running for president.
Trump's election victory was a crack in the
matrix that terrified globalist tyrants.
And now I am the bridge between Germany
and the MAGA movement, which the European Union
desperately wants to burn.
You may remember me from 2020, when I
appeared on Fox and on the front page
of The Washington Post and became internationally recognized
as the anti-Greta Thunberg, a climate skeptic.
Now I am a representative for Deutschlandkurier, Germany's
leading alternative media outlet, whose editor in chief,
David Bendels, received a seven month probation sentence
earlier this year because he posted a meme
mocking the interior minister's hatred of free speech.
Quite ironic, if you ask me.
This is why I started working with him,
because I stand in solidarity with his admirable
courage.
I am publicly sharing my asylum request now,
as President Trump has announced new refugee priorities,
including Europeans, who have been targeted for their
peaceful expression of views online, such as opposition
to mass migration and support for populist parties,
according to the New York Times.
But if you think I ran away cowardly
and abandoned my homeland, you would be mistaken.
This is only the beginning.
I am seeking protection under the United States
government to expose the truth about the tyranny
of Germany and the European Union, who have
made the MAGA administration their enemies.
And I encourage everybody in Europe to stand
up for what MAGA represents and turn it
into MAGA.
Let's fight, fight, fight.
Wow.
I think I propose a prisoner swap.
We'll take Naomi and we'll give you...
We'll give you David Hasselhoff.
I think that's a fair swap.
They'd take David Hasselhoff.
They love him.
They love the Hoff.
You know, in a way, she reminds me
more of Ancilla.
Like a German Ancilla?
Oh, yeah.
She's got...
I think you might be right there.
Yeah.
Ancilla.
I think Ancilla is running for, I don't
know, I wonder how she did.
I think they were, she had, they set
up some political party.
I don't know if they got any votes
or not.
Any seats?
Haven't heard from Ancilla.
Yeah, well, these women, these European women.
They don't mess around.
Those three that you mentioned.
Yeah.
You really have a, they're very, they're like,
they're like scorned.
And they have a, they're just very, they're
out to do damage.
But they're not doing it in a shouting,
crazy, nutty way like the liberal, American liberal
woman.
They're doing it pretty, I would say, calmly.
Yeah, that's a good catch.
I had not heard of her.
But I think she totally should have asylum
here.
Yeah, she'll get it.
Give her, we'll set her up with a
podcast rig.
She'll be good to go.
Yeah, we'll help her get a, become a
podcaster.
She can probably talk for days.
Happy to do it.
Absolutely.
Ah, let's see.
Well, there, there's a lot of interesting things
happening around the world.
Although if you watch the M5M, you wouldn't
know too much about it.
You know, the, this, first of all, our
president went to Malaysia and was welcomed by
the YMCA song and he danced to it.
Yes.
That was, that was, that made me proud
to be an American.
It was the funniest.
He was dancing the whole time, except when
he was in Korea.
And I have some comments about that because
I have the Korea, what happened in Korea
clip.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Let's do the Korea clip.
With a follow-up.
I'm looking now.
It'd be Trump.
I think at the bottom, Trump, Trump, Korea
deal.
Here we go.
The US and South Korea affirmed Seoul investing
$350 billion into the US.
They've been negotiating for months on the details
of their trade agreement, including how the money
would be distributed.
All the details of the agreement are yet
to be released.
But $150 billion of the investment will go
towards revitalizing US shipbuilding.
Tariffs on South Korean goods will also be
lowered from 25 to 15%.
Trump met South Korea's president separately and as
part of a formal dinner with heads of
states of other countries.
At the table was also Canada's prime minister,
Mark Carney, who Trump has been upset with
recently over tariff negotiations.
Carney barely made it in any of the
reports.
They all kind of like pushed him away.
He wasn't making a lot of noise either.
No, nor should he.
So I have to plug Chanel Rion.
She's Korean.
Yes.
Oh, is she Korean?
Yeah, she's half Korean-American, Korean-American.
But she sees herself as Korean when she
does reporting on Korea.
She did a thing, and I want to
plug my The Real Dvorak Twitter account.
Maybe I can get some numbers back up.
I heard on the DHM plug, when you
do that, your numbers go down.
Yes, I think because I think I'm...
Because you're not paying.
You're a non-paying blue check.
I'm pretty sure that's that and other things.
But I retweeted that.
I would have clipped it, but it was
a little too long.
It was too detailed.
She did a...
I've never heard anyone else do this, analyze
the Korea meeting that Trump had with Lee.
She hates Lee.
She says he's a stooge of Xi in
China.
He's a communist.
He's no good.
And everything that happened there, they didn't give
him anything close to what would be a
high-end reception, according to her.
And she says that crown that they gave
him wasn't some sort of a gag or
a joke or a reference.
That crown that they gave him is the
crown you put in graves.
No, no way.
Yeah.
She says that particular crown is put in
tombs with the dead.
Wow.
That is...
Everyone in Korea knows this, and everyone in
Korea hates this guy, Lee, who's running the
place.
And they love Trump, according to her.
Yeah, I believe that.
Trump, and they hate Lee, and they all
know that this was a major insult.
And then they have the meeting, she continues,
and then they have the meeting with Xi,
not in China or any place cool, but
in the Busan airport, a lousy venue, was
a further insult.
The entire event in Korea was one insult
after another, and she documented them all.
Wow.
And I retreated it.
I've never heard this any place else.
No, you have video of her saying that?
If you go to Twitter and go...
She posted it.
It's a Twitter tweet.
Yeah, but you blocked me, so I can't
see you.
I didn't block you.
Maybe from the email, but no, not from
Twitter.
That is a great piece of analysis.
And everywhere, all you heard in all media,
mainstream and alternative here is, look, he gave
Trump the king, the crown, the crown, the
golden crown, and it turns out to be
an insult.
Like, you're a dead man to us.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
Only on your No Agenda show, people.
Unbelievable.
And One America News, apparently, if you can
find it.
Yeah, apparently, One America News.
She writes her own material.
That's good.
I found that out over time, and she's
pretty good.
I did get the translated opening remarks from
Xi in the meeting, which everybody was there,
two sides of the table.
And this was at the airport.
Is that what you're saying?
This Xi meeting was at the...
At the Busan airport.
That's crazy.
Well, it was good, though.
Mr. President, you care a lot about world
peace, and you're very enthusiastic about settling various
regional hotspot issues.
I appreciate your great contribution to the recent
conclusion of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
During your visit to Malaysia, you witnessed the
signing of the joint declaration on peace along
the Cambodia-Thailand border, to which you had
provided input.
China's been helping, in our own way, Cambodia
and Thailand properly settle their border disputes, and
we have also been promoting peace talks to
resolve other hotspot issues.
Hotspots.
Lots of hotspots that Xi was talking about.
But then he kind of solidifies a bit
of the arc, the way I see it.
America, Russia, China.
He's like, hey, you know, we're kind of
buddies.
You know, we have our differences, but we
can work it all out.
We're doing stuff.
We've been in contact.
We're close.
We're not, you know, like, we're not doing
those sleepovers, but we're hanging in there together.
And it feels very warm seeing you again,
because it's been many years since your re
-election.
We have spoken on the phone three times,
exchanged several letters, and stayed in close contact.
Under our joint guidance, China-U.S. relations
have remained stable on the whole.
Given our different national conditions, we do not
always see eye to eye with each other.
And it is normal for the two leading
economies of the world to have frictions now
and then.
And in the face of winds, waves, and
challenges, you and I, at the helm of
China-U.S. relations, should stay the right
course and ensure the steady sailing forward of
the giant ship of China-U.S. relations.
I always believe that China's development goes hand
in hand with your vision to make America
great again.
Our two countries are fully able to help
each other succeed and prosper together.
Over the years, I have stated in public
many times that China and the United States
should be partners and friends.
This is what history has taught us and
what reality demands.
A few days ago, in the latest round
of consultation, our two economic and trade teams
reached basic consensus on addressing our respective major
concerns and made encouraging progress.
Sounds good to me.
Doesn't sound like we're about to go to
war in 2027, unless it's some kind of
setup over Taiwan.
Well, it could be bullcrap.
And also, the Chinese are notorious for understatement.
So you don't know what they're really saying.
Oh, okay.
Well, yeah, I guess.
And, you know, because you can't say anything
nasty.
And let's just see if a soybean deal
goes through.
Scott Besant will be happy.
At least that will be a start.
The soybean deal is like 180,000 tons
or something.
That's nothing like the millions of tons they
used to take from us.
It's not a huge deal.
It's just a start.
But we have a...
The soybean thing is important to our farmers.
It's a symbolic gesture for our farmers because
they got irked by the fact that they
got cut out of the deal.
And they're not bringing the soybeans in anymore.
Did you know that Besant is a soybean
farmer?
Yes.
I didn't...
I'd like a little more...
This came up in a conversation, I think,
on DH Unplugged.
I'd like a little...
Here's the clip of him saying it.
The president has also said he does want
our farmers to be taken care of.
You did mention that.
China has been boycotting American soybeans and American
farmers have really suffered.
Do you see a real light at the
end of the tunnel there that may allow
soybeans again?
Well, Martha, in case you don't know it,
I'm actually a soybean farmer.
So I have felt this pain too.
And there are a couple of things happening
here.
One...
What?
He's owns...
He's got...
He is one of the hedge fund or
something that he is part of, has a
soybean holdings and so thus...
Oh, OK.
So I can say, you know, I own
Apple stocks.
So I'm an iPhone engineer.
Is that it?
Well, you can't say you're an iPhone engineer,
but you can say you're...
An iPhone farmer.
Well, you know, I...
Well, how could you...
But let's put it in that...
Let's try to make that work.
OK.
You own Apple stocks, you can say, I...
I make phones.
So I understand how this works.
I make phones.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm an AI.
Yeah.
OK.
Well, so along these lines, I got to
go to the neighbor.
So the neighbor down the road, Laura, Laura
Logan...
Is this a bad neighbor?
You've given us no updates.
And by the way, I'm irked by this.
Well, because there is no...
We're in limbo.
We're in limbo right now.
There's been no updates.
There's nothing.
The text group has gone quiet.
Although Claudia next door, she's from the Dominican
Republic.
Next door?
Yeah, she's next door.
Like two acres.
Claudia's next door.
It's not like...
So I'm walking Phoebe and she has this
little rat dog called Fifi.
And then some other like sausage dog.
The little dog's called Feces?
Yes, Feces.
It is now the little dog called Feces.
And she's walking with her boyfriend, Japanese-American
veteran.
And he has a hot little sausage dog.
And so I'm walking Phoebe.
Hey, Adam, how you doing?
Like, hey, hey, Claudia.
And she's, what's up with these children over
there?
They're going too fast.
They're driving around.
And then I told her, well, you know,
we're talking about the HR.
That's good.
Because I'm a Dominican Republic Karen.
It makes me a...
What's she called?
Carmen.
I'm a Carmen.
Be careful.
I'm all about it.
So that's the only update I have.
More coming, I'm sure.
This is going to come to a head.
We have the Dominican...
She has a Carmen in the neighborhood.
Everyone needs a good Carmen.
And she needs to be on our side,
which I like.
So no, the other neighbor, Laura Logan, down
the street.
She has going rogue with Laura Logan.
She finally doesn't have no agenda in her
name, in her show name.
So that's good.
And she went to Moscow to interview Kirill
Dimitriev, which is kind of funny because the
guy's been in the U.S. Well, that's
a good question.
I don't know.
I suspect it's...
What I think is happening is that there's
money from General Flynn's nonprofit.
Okay, we'll just assume Flynn Center.
I'm going to think Flynn Center.
And probably to set up an interview with
Putin.
But that didn't...
With her and Putin?
Yeah, I think so.
Putin would go for that.
Well, it didn't happen this time.
So they gave her Kirill Dimitriev, who is...
He was the clearing guy.
He's going to say, yeah, she should be
good.
You'll like her.
She's pretty.
I think...
Gabumba, you like her.
Vladimir Gabumba, you like her.
And as an aside, as a media executive,
the red lipstick she had on was just
that, you know, two shades of red, too
red.
You know what I mean?
It's just sometimes if you're an...
Can there be red lipstick that's too red?
Yes.
Or is it a darker shade that just
doesn't look good?
It was too, you know, like red, you
know, it's just a white face and boing,
these lips pop out.
It has to be done with...
You need to tone it down.
You need a pro.
She should have brought a makeup artist.
I think it's pretty low budget, these things.
But they had a hotel room set up
and everything.
Low budget can it be of flying to
Moscow?
Well, I don't know.
Because my buddy Luke was supposed to go,
but his visa got...
He's a J6er, so he had all kinds
of visa problems.
You're a terrorist.
No, I'm not.
Look, I got pardoned.
Let me in.
So he didn't go.
So I'm not sure who...
But I'll get details from Luke.
But the funny thing is Kirill Dimitriev, she
gets back and this guy's here in America
doing interviews everywhere.
Like, you didn't need to go to Moscow,
but she did.
And so he is Steve Witkoff's counterpart.
Well, you know, you should talk...
Get together with her and find out...
Because I would like to know right now
what Moscow is like.
Is it bustling?
I get the sense that it is.
I think it's very colorful and bustling.
I'm sure it is.
Well, it's only 45 minutes.
So if you want to listen to it
or watch it, it's out there.
Rogue on the road, everybody.
And so I got three clips from it.
The first one is a little long, but
this is Kirill delivering the message in multiple
ways, hitting Christianity, hitting trans Maoism, all of
this stuff, saying you got to...
And something that we both believe and know
to be true, that Americans and Russians are
very, very similar.
Even when it's the USSR. Very similar, you
know, nationalistic.
They just are drinkers.
Big time.
Let me go back to how traditional values
and other things unite us.
Because President Putin has started talking about focus
on traditional values, not this year, not five
years ago, but when he really became president.
So for more than 20 years ago, he's
been focused on really making sure that, you
know, it's not a woke world.
It's a world where there is a man
and a woman, the focus on the family,
on Christian values.
And I think that is very, very important.
And he was calling out the fakeness of
the woke narrative for a long time.
And by the way...
Just like President Trump.
Just as President Trump.
I reposted one of your posts.
We've had this woke vocabulary.
What people say and what they really mean.
So I think the honesty and be straightforward,
you know, not political correctness, but calling things
the way they are is important.
I would give another, I think, very poignant
example of Charlie Kirk.
So Charlie Kirk really resonated with the Russian
people.
And when this horrible tragedy happened, not only
President Putin gave condolences, but Russian church actually
did an article recognizing Charlie Kirk's contributions.
Did you hear anything about Putin's condolences?
I don't remember that.
Why?
I don't either.
Why would we?
To Christianity.
Who's going to tell us?
Exactly.
So they see him not only as somebody
who is an advocate of family, not only
advocate on campuses, but really it's a religious
sort of thinker.
A contemporary religious thinker.
Okay, but that's interesting because of course, under
Marxism, there is no room for religion.
I mean, Karl Marx did not, he was
an nihilist when it came to God.
Yeah, but Russia is actually quite a religious
country.
Yes.
So if you go, and I hope you
can go to our Orthodox churches, et cetera,
it's a very religious country and very much
focused on values.
So in reality, we see view the world
very similarly where we see, for example, immigration
in Europe and what Biden tried to do
in the U.S. is crazy.
You know, I actually have a theory about
this.
I believe that Biden- Listen, now it's
as if he talked to you before the
interview.
Here's his theory.
When I saw, I heard this, I'm like,
wow, John needs to hear this.
Well, it's crazy.
You know, I actually have a theory about
this.
I believe that Biden wanted Democrats to stay
in power forever.
So what he did, he figured out immigrants,
criminals, and transgender, they were Democrats.
So then he increased the number of criminals.
He increased the number of immigrants and there
was a huge transgender spike, which is, by
the way, now coming down to turn to
normalcy during his era.
It turned to reality.
All of that was to stay in power.
All of those things that Russia is tough
on and Europe is not tough on.
So I think another thing we see is,
for example, Europe was allowing illegal immigration, was
allowing lots of vogue policy.
J.D. Vance said it's basically suicide of
European civilization.
And we also see it very similarly.
So to summarize, I think we all care
about our families.
We all care about education of our children.
We all care about having good economy, good
growth.
And we are much more similar.
And what happened during Biden administration and actually
started with Obama, Russiagate, is that Russiagate tried
to vilify President Trump, tried to vilify Russia.
And from that time, Russia became like really
bad, bad, bad in the people's minds in
the U.S. But more and more conservatives
understand that those were fake, not true narratives.
All right, so he's clearly saying, hey, you
know, like we're kind of the same.
We got the guy, we got a president
who thinks the same, just doing all the
same.
And then he blew my mind with a
setup from Logan about the North Sea nexus
and the Brits.
But do you think there's an irony that
a lot of this woke ideology comes out
of cultural Marxism?
Well, again, I don't frankly go that deeply
because you can all tie it.
And Marxism came from Europe.
And by the way, you know, Marx didn't
like Russia so much.
Well, Marx was hired by Henry Rothschild to
create a system of social control and paid
by the British.
But OK, going back to British, you know,
British, I believe, are incredibly aggressive to instill
different things worldwide.
They're suffering from lots of immigration, from digital
ID.
They now try to implement, which is really
a way to control people.
And I think it's insanity.
It is insanity.
You know, Prime Minister Starmer is the least
popular prime minister in the history of Great
Britain.
I had to mention on Twitter that his
great speech when President Trump called him in
Egypt and pretended to give him a word
and then said, no, go back.
And he didn't even get to speak.
So I think you have really the issue
with Britain, some European countries.
And by the way, we love, you know,
European people and British people, but they've been
taken over.
By aggressive politicians who really try to control
their societies and who try to hide the
problems of those societies.
But by making Russia a victim and who
work a lot by basically not a victim,
but making Russia bad and working a lot
to really undermine any discussion we may have
with the US.
That is a big fear for many of
the forces in UK and the liberal forces
in Europe that Russia and US would actually
have a good dialogue.
Ah, so this guy's good.
And then the last clip, which is short.
Well, before you go, yeah, can you can
I can I interrupt?
Of course.
Since you brought since he brought up digital
ID.
Yes.
David Ike made some commentary.
David Ike.
OK, yeah.
On digital ID.
I thought we should.
It's been a while since we've had Ike
on the show.
I've had that bad.
This clip for two or three shows.
I can't get it in.
I have this moment.
Here we go.
Digital ID.
David Ike, everybody.
This is the door closing.
That's not intended to be opened again.
And the idea is everything you do.
I mean, everything eventually you will need a
digital ID and your digital ID will be
connected to a digital currency.
If you want to see what's planned for
the West tomorrow, then look at China today,
where if you are not behaving in a
way that the government wants you to behave,
then you lose credits in their social credit
system.
And if you lose enough, you can't go
on a plane.
You can't go on a train.
Basically take part in mainstream society.
You are excluded.
This is a global agenda.
This is not about Keir Starmer.
He's a gopher.
It's not about Donald Trump.
He's a gopher.
And they're gophers for this global network that
I call the global cult.
And the idea is to eventually have a
world government which won't be elected, purely appointed
technocrats, bureaucrats that will oversee this AI digital
system.
And you won't be able to go anywhere
in the world without this system is tracking
you.
Here we are now looking at this line
in the sand.
And if we allow it to be crossed,
it's going to be very, very difficult to
push back.
And that's why it's so vital that the
people of this country, but all countries realize
the scale of freedom deletion.
This digital ID is a massive step towards
and fundamental to the deletion of freedom.
So I agree with Ike that this is
the plan.
I disagree that Trump is some stooge in
the plan.
If he has the right people explaining the
technology to him, and I believe he does,
I don't think he'll let that happen.
This is the globalist dream, no doubt about
it.
And I didn't clip it, but Dmitry said,
he said, you know, digital ID in China
says they're open and transparent about it.
They haven't tricked their people into it.
And it's been very successful for them how
they control their billion people.
He says, unlike the UK, where they're bringing
it in on the sly and they're going
to capture their people without being honest about
it.
And I thought that was an interesting observation
that, you know, China, I guess the people
of China, they like it.
Yeah.
I'm not sure that's true.
He may have been doing that.
That commentary may have been part of a
fear of China.
Possibly, possibly.
Because there's a number of YouTube videos out
there showing the homeless in China who have
been kicked to the curb by the social
scoring system.
They should have followed the rules.
What's wrong with you?
Exactly.
What's wrong with you?
They should have followed the rules.
What were they doing?
What were they thinking?
What were you thinking?
You don't follow the rules, you're homeless.
Hello.
That's how it works in China.
Um, yeah.
But this has been Ike's thing forever.
I mean, what gets me is like, oh,
Bitcoin is a part of this and the
blockchain.
Like, no, no, it's not.
That's where he loses me just because he
doesn't.
He didn't say that in that clip.
Not in that clip.
But I've heard him.
I follow Ike.
I'm, you know, ever since the Reptilians.
I've been on board.
Well, yeah.
Once he came up with that, he was
gold.
He's podcast gold, I tell you.
So then the final clip from Kirill Dmitriev.
He brings up the tunnel.
And by the way, President Putin also mentioned
that in Arctic, we would love to have
U.S. companies participate in our oil fields,
in our gas field.
Well, there's cooperation in the International Space Station.
Yes.
And by the way, yesterday I tweeted about
maybe we should have a tunnel connecting U
.S. and Russia.
And with Elon Musk's boring company, the tunnel
can cost only $8 billion.
And the original price was $36 billion.
Wow.
So we have modern technology that can really
unite us.
And yes, of course, we also have to
be cognizant that many people in the U
.S. don't want Russia to get close.
They have interest in, you know, basically weapon
sector and other sector.
But I think at least having dialogue, at
least having better understanding of one another is
definitely in the interest to avoid security risks
worldwide.
The tunnel.
I love it.
We need a name for this tunnel.
We need a name.
Yeah, I don't know.
Russia, the United States, Russia, Alaska.
That's where it goes.
The run all the funnel.
The funnel.
I like the funnel tunnel.
Just call it the funnel.
That's good.
So since you, since we bring up Globalist
here, Globalist number one, who is trying to
get back on the stage.
I'm not sure exactly why, other than to
help Gavin Newsom's Prop 50 is Barack Obama.
And he was at the Connecticut Forum.
I'm not sure what that is.
And this is his idea of the future
of journalism.
Part of what we're going to have to
do is to start experimenting with new forms
of journalism and how do we use social
media in ways that reaffirm facts, separate facts
from opinion.
We want diversity of opinion.
We don't want diversity of facts.
That I think is one of the big
tasks of social media.
By the way, it will require some government,
I believe, some government regulatory constraints around some
of these business models in a way that's
consistent with the First Amendment.
Oh, yeah.
But that also says, look.
Look, look, look.
There is a difference between these platforms letting
all voices be heard versus a business model
that elevates the most hateful voices or the
most polarizing voices or the most dangerous in
the sense of inciting violence voices.
That I think is going to be a
big challenge for all of us that we're
going to have to undertake.
Unbelievable.
And luckily- He dug himself into a
hole there at the end.
He couldn't get himself out.
Oh, yeah.
And luckily, we have podcastlicense.com.
We'll have to reinstate that when it comes
down to it.
You also have a license to podcast if
Barack Obama has anything to do with it.
I love how he says, you know, within
the scope of the First Amendment, like no
law, no law, Mr. President, no law, no
infringement.
I can see the logic behind podcast licenses
by doing the parallel with broadcast licenses.
Well, in that case, I'm glad you bring
it up.
If we need to be careful of the
voices inciting violence, then we need licenses for
cable news talking heads as well.
Well, they've been wanting to do that forever.
Well, here's Nicole Wallace.
And this is kind of a supercut, but
with longer, little longer clips.
Conversation comes up and she's like, I've never
heard anyone call Trump Hitler.
I've never.
This has been all over Fox.
So we shouldn't play it?
Is that what you're saying?
Well, it is.
I think our listeners probably haven't heard it
necessarily, but the compendium of people calling Trump
Hitler, Hitler is ridiculous.
But even the compendiums don't even come close
to the total absolute.
If somebody, Grabien or somebody put together a
real supercut, they could have something very entertaining.
But yes, she's actually said this and she's
talking to Pritzker in an interview.
And this has been, yeah, this is amplified.
I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
I wouldn't.
I don't think any Democrat has.
I actually, and I think it's a smear
that they project back on to critics.
What is the natural extension, Justin, if he
pursues this to Harvard and beyond?
There was an authoritarian leader several decades back
called Adolf Hitler.
Hitler came to power and the scientists left.
The military survive in that climate.
In the same way that it happened in
Russia with Stalin, the same way it happened
with Hitler.
Eventually you get generals and admirals that are
in there that only tell the leader what
he or she wants to hear.
To the extent that the rule of law
and an assault on the rule of law
was an obscure, intangible thing.
We're now seeing it in action.
If you look back in history, you can
see very similar parallels taking place that took
place in other countries that really went down
that authoritarian road, including in pre-World War
II Nazi Germany when Hitler and Nazi officials
basically took over Frankfurt University, which was the
bastion of independent thought and progressive thinking and
independent thinking, which is what Hitler didn't want.
And so again, this is what authoritarians do.
They try to control all of the aspects
of social life.
When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks
about peace, it's autocrats getting their way.
That's it.
And Mussolini and Hitler said they were being
the purveyors of peace.
And I resisted for a long time analogies
to Hitler's Germany.
I've got in my sub stack today, though,
it's really uncanny.
The same episode where Hitler early in his
tenure, before he's totally taken over the government,
some local prosecutors go after his brown shirts
and they convict them, sends them, and then
he releases them.
It's really the same thing.
Throwback to what?
Poisoning the blood.
I mean, that is literally Hitlerian.
What do people think of what happened to
us?
The parallel here is to maybe show up
on the shores and say, no, we'll go
with, we'll go with Hitler.
I mean, what do they think about the
switching of sides with the turning of who
occupies the Oval Office?
I believe every voter who casts a vote,
regardless of who they vote for, has to
know that Donald Trump believes Hitler did some
good things.
Which is not true.
No, I think it's time to roll out
the Trump rotation just for prosperity's sake.
I have my list and you might want
to see if there's anything I left out.
This is the Trump rotation.
There's two categories.
There's the regular and then there's the criminal.
But here we go.
Ready?
Yep.
Liar.
Incompetent.
Unhinged.
Illegitimate president.
White supremacist.
Racist.
Bully.
Immature.
Russian agent.
Narcissist.
Mean.
Long ties.
Insane.
Tweets too much.
Small hands.
Small penis.
Big red button.
Criminal.
Mean.
Racist.
Immature.
Thin skin.
Runs the mob.
Has no money.
Unstable.
Fatter than 239 pounds.
Bankrupt.
25th amendment should be instituted.
He hates women.
Misogynist.
Holds grudges forever.
Placed golf a lot.
Obstruction of justice.
Money laundering.
And clown.
John, no wonder we're making America white again.
And cute.
Just to add this on, PBS Washington Week.
PBS.
The People's Public Broadcast System.
Funded by viewers like you.
Here's how they opened up this week's Washington
Week.
Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.
I want to start with an apology.
We pride ourselves here on our accuracy, but
we realized very late in the day that
our backdrop is no longer correct because it
still features the East Wing of the White
House.
Let me show you where it used to
be.
So this right here, that was the East
Wing.
Now it's a hole.
That's just a hole next to the White
House.
Over here, that's the West Wing that's still
standing as far as we know, although I'm
not there right now to prove it.
In the back here, you got the, that's
the Empire State Building.
And over there, that's LAX.
And also we have, we got a cold
front moving from Ohio, so break out your
sweaters.
Anyway, we'll fix the picture to reflect the
new reality once Congress restores our funding.
The list I read at the top of
the show has not been all of the
norm-busting news from this week.
Tonight, our overall subject is impunity.
How does a president get to knock down
the East Wing?
Is that even legal?
By what authority does he do the things
he does?
Who do the things he does?
He's a king.
You can't have that.
Well, you have to, after that, that's hard
to beat that.
I'm going to give you a clip of
the day for coming up with that.
Wow.
What assholes.
So they're no better than this TikTok clip
of the ballroom girl.
By the way, that goes to Clip Custodian.
I just learned that I don't get to
eat this month.
I don't get my food stamps this month
because a motherfucker in the White House, an
orange motherfucker in the White House wants a
ballroom for $3 billion.
I don't get to eat.
What?
My government is supposed to help me, not
hurt me.
Why is it hurting me?
Why is it taking the money that we
have paid into it to give us a
ballroom?
We don't have a king.
Kings need balls.
We don't.
We're the citizens.
We're public citizens.
Why do we need a ballroom?
We're not invited.
That's a king's room.
We don't need that.
I need my food stamps.
I need my food stamps or something's going
to happen.
Yeah.
I mean, this, you know, we've moved this
from government workers not getting paid to, this
is Chuck Schumer with his, I have to
say, wonderful alliteration.
He had to look at his paper continuously
to get it all out.
But he had the Ps, he had the
Cs, and the weaponizing.
Was this the Schumer rant?
Yeah.
So Trump is weaponizing.
By the way, he's in a, they had,
they definitely, they did a good job of
finding a bucket to put the mic in.
It's not that bad.
This clip is better.
Well, the version I have, I think is
bad.
Do you have a version with you?
It's called, yeah, it's on the clip list.
It's the Schumer, Schumer in a bucket.
Oh no, it's the same link.
The same as mine.
Well, let me hear your bucket.
I don't, I didn't have a bucket.
The Republican leadership thanked essential workers who are
still on the job without pay.
They pointed out that the largest union of
federal workers is- No, that's shutdown blood.
I'm saying Schumer, Schumer.
Here we go.
Oh no.
On Saturday, for the first time in American
history, a vicious, heartless president is cutting off
food stamps to hungry children, elderly who can't
afford enough food to feed themselves.
Yeah, I have a better version of it.
It's okay.
Veterans who are down on their luck, all
because he wants to use them as hostages
so that Democrats will stop fighting for people's
health care.
We can do both.
Provide better health care and provide SNAP benefits
to the tens of millions who need it.
This president is a fucking liar.
He says there's no money to provide food
stamps because of the shutdown.
That's bullshit.
His own agriculture department said there's plenty of
money.
Every president during shutdowns has provided the money
that's needed.
Even Trump in his first term.
He is bludgeoning the American people using the
most innocent of victims to try and go
along with his cruel shutdown, which takes away
health care for millions of Americans.
He is the most vindictive politician America has
ever seen and the most heartless man America
has ever seen in the presidency.
We're fighting him every step of the way.
So that wasn't AI?
That had to be AI.
No.
That he really said that?
Yeah.
Oh, no, I have something completely different.
This is, this is the.
This is what, this was on, this was
posted on his Twitter account.
Wow.
What a douche.
Oh, he's a total douche.
The guy's out of control.
He's losing numbers.
That guy, that crazy guy on CNN who
does all the stats.
Internet or whatever.
Democrats.
Yeah.
They've lost, they're getting to the point where
they're going to lose the midterms big time
if this keeps up and because people aren't
buying the story that they're not, that the
Democrats aren't the ones holding the country hostage.
Yeah, so there's the troll saying your government
is prioritizing Israel over you.
Oh, you're so weak, bro.
Okay.
That is exactly what the Democrats want you
to say.
Good job.
Here's the alliteration clip.
So Trump is weaponizing hunger.
He's turning millions of children and seniors and
veterans into political pawns.
He's choosing politics over people, cruelty over compassion.
And let's be clear about this.
They've been on a crusade.
The Republicans have been on a crusade against
SNAP all year.
They slashed it by $200 billion this summer
to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires.
I love the, was it politics over people?
Something over compassion, cruelty over compassion.
Yeah, that's good.
That's really good.
Yeah, he's got, they had to bring this
tax cut for billionaires and it's bullcrap.
So there's a lot of, I mean, there's
50 hours of video of going on and
on, the oversight committee about the auto pen,
which is, they just put up all the
depositions and each one is four hours long.
And they've got everybody in there.
They are really going balls to the wall
on the auto pen.
Here's a- Yeah, they're trying to pull
the plug on a lot of the stuff.
Well, mainly, mainly on the pardons.
That's what they're really going for here.
The House Oversight Committee is calling for Attorney
General Pam Bondi to take a closer look
at the presidential pardons the Biden White House
issued via auto pen.
According to a letter, a 93 page report
set by the Republican led committee, there was
a quote, cover-up of the president's cognitive
decline.
The bottom line, they are alleging that Biden
didn't make all those clemency decisions on his
own.
Biden has disputed that publicly, saying those claims
against him are lies.
During his time in office, Biden issued more
than 4,200 pardons or commutations, the most
for any previous president.
So they cornered Hawley in the, Hawley in
the hall, Hawley in the hall, and was
a constitutional lawyer, but what is your opinion
on all of this?
The House Oversight Committee released this report on
the Biden auto pen investigation this morning.
Basically, the gist of it says, you know,
these actions that were taken with the auto
pen should not be considered valid unless there's
concrete evidence it was Biden who was directing
this use.
Do you agree with that?
And what is the implication, you know, going
forward, if, you know, some of these pardons
might not have been valid?
Huge implications.
I mean, huge implications.
And what it would mean most immediately is,
is folks who would otherwise be prosecuted, and
the effect of the pardon, of course, is
you can't be prosecuted.
Folks who otherwise could be prosecuted, I mean,
you may see subpoenas start issuing, you may
see prosecutors say, well, listen, I mean, if
there's no longer a blanket of amnesty over
these folks, then we're going to go after
them.
I mean, he pardoned a lot of people.
He pardoned folks who were accused of child
-related crimes, folks who were accused of violent
crimes.
So if I'm a prosecutor, and I was
one for several years, I mean, I'd look
at that and say, hey, I'd like to
get these people back into court.
So I think that may be the effect.
Would you rather these people avoid these pardons?
I mean, I'm concerned about it for the
reasons just outlined.
I mean, it seems to me that, listen,
the pardon power, it's an extraordinary power, Manu.
There are guidelines, both in the White House
rules, and I think in statute, although you
might check me on that, about how the
pardon power is used and how the auto
pen is used.
There's no doubt the president can pardon pretty
much whomever he chooses.
But there's a real question is, what does
it mean for the president to direct it?
If you have a situation, this is unprecedented
in our history, where you have real questions
as to whether the president actually approved of
the pardons that were signed off on his
name.
That's a major constitutional issue.
And this may get sorted out in court,
because what would happen is, if a prosecutor
came to somebody who's ostensibly been pardoned and
said, you know what?
I'm going to charge you.
I'm going to subpoena you.
I'm sure they would say, well, I have
a pardon, and then that'll go to court.
So we may see a lot more of
this.
I love the cynicism.
I know you're cynical about this as well.
No, nothing's ever going to happen.
No one's going to jail.
Yeah, maybe, maybe.
Yeah, because the Republicans are big talkers.
Yeah, but they're putting this all into the
DOJ with the Barbie AG, and she will
just do whatever the president wants her to
do.
See, Bolton.
I mean, Bolton, it's serious with Bolton.
There will be more.
Yeah, but you have to remember this one
thing that keeps being brought up when people
bitch him on about Bolton.
The Bolton investigation began under the Biden administration.
Fine, but I'm just saying.
I know there's just a carrier through.
There's nothing being initiated.
John, there are thousands of sealed indictments that
you don't know about.
10,000, by the way.
And let's get that straight.
And so here's Senator Grassley.
Now, Grassley is a kickass guy, but, you
know, he's so old.
He's like 92, I believe.
He's like the oldest guy in the area.
He's getting up there.
He's getting a little rocky.
He's getting up there, though, and he's not
going to last much longer.
And this is about the phone taps at
the Biden administration.
This, by the way, this might trigger something
because these senators are pissed, really irked about
the phone taps.
Especially Cruz.
I've recently been informed by Verizon that at
least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected.
That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's
office and a staffer cell phone for former
Senator Loeffler.
AT&T informed me they challenged the legal
basis for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith's backed
down.
Yeah, and no T-Mobile.
No one uses T-Mobile in Congress.
It's only Verizon.
Well, I think, by the way, AT&T
lucked out and pushed back, and now they're
the good guys of all the companies.
That is kind of funny.
And then, you know, Tulsi's still on the
warpath.
And when I heard this, I'm like, ah,
we knew about this in 2013, 2014.
Your no agenda show is way ahead of
the curve.
One of the most significant pieces of evidence
that was revealed in that report we released
yesterday is the fact that Russia claimed to
have very, very damaging information, high-level DNC
emails relating specifically to Hillary Clinton's physical and
mental health and DNC leaders questioning whether or
not, if elected, she would even be capable
of carrying out the duties of the presidency.
Russia had this.
If they wanted to swing the election for
Donald Trump, they would have released it in
September, October of 2016 at a pivotal time
to swing momentum into Donald Trump's direction and
damage Hillary Clinton's campaign.
They did not do that deliberately.
They understood that Hillary Clinton would likely be
the inevitable president of the United States.
They didn't think Trump could win like a
lot of other people.
And so they were withholding this damaging information
about Hillary Clinton and planning to release it
in the days or weeks leading up to
her expected inauguration.
Now, we remember what happened to Hillary Clinton
that no one ever picked up.
That was the plane crash.
The plane crash and then the subsequent.
But that was during the era, I believe
the plane crash happened when she was secretary
of state, not before the election.
No, that's what I said.
But she's been brain damaged ever since.
It may not even be the original Hillary
Clinton.
Well, we have seen the double, that one
double with the purse on the wrong side.
And we do remember Hillary during some testimony
where she had to wear those weird glasses
that were Fresnel lenses.
Listen to this.
There's a little circular things on them.
Listen to this.
This is going back to the the the
hundreds.
Now, Clinton resigned not long after she got
out of the hospital.
But Kerry was already appointed before she officially
resigned.
And and I found reports dating back to
2013 that say, you know, Hillary may not
make it.
Now, we didn't know it was possibly a
plane crash.
But also take a look at the parting
gift the State Department gave her.
They gave her a crash helmet.
Remember that?
I don't remember the crash helmet.
Yeah, they made it.
There was a big joke when she was
leaving and they gave her a crash helmet.
Oh, because of the crash that she was
obviously in that nobody wanted to report on.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you're right.
She had those wacky glasses.
And yeah, anyway, I it's interesting because Tina's
Tina is a canary in the coal mine.
She's like, we need something.
Someone needs to be perp walked.
I'll give us something.
We want something.
She wants a perp walk.
Throw someone in jail.
We need something.
Well, I've been saying that, too.
I know.
I know you and Tina.
I know.
I know it is.
It is what it is.
But I don't know.
I have a feeling that there's some something
is going to happen.
Trump is really angry about all this.
So yeah, I think he is, too.
So I I think there's a there's a
possibility.
Let's get jumped to these.
I want to do one international piece, which
is not being covered much, except NTD.
And that is the murders in Brazil.
Have you heard of this?
And this is in the favelas.
Oh, are your favorite homestead?
Well, this is the reason I made these
clips is because I've been an advocate of
favelas as a solution to the homeless problem
in the United States on certain areas, especially
in San Francisco on the side of the
South San Francisco Hill, where the big sign
is, would be a perfect place to put
people.
Yes, your favorite favela.
It would be a good place for a
favela.
But the problem with favelas is that they're
self-governing and they you know, they deteriorate
into being run by gangs and the gangs
tend to be drug gangs.
And it doesn't really help the situation much.
And you have to put the kibosh on
them every so often.
And this is what's happening now in Rio.
Over 130 people are reported dead in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil.
Police conducted their largest ever operation against organized
crime gangs in the city's history.
NTD's international correspondent, Erian Pastor is in Brazil.
And a warning, this report includes footage that
some viewers may find disturbing.
A pastor is seen crying in Rio de
Janeiro on Wednesday, a day after state authorities
conducted a major police raid, the largest in
the city's history.
Around 40 bodies were seen lying on the
ground, waiting to be collected on Wednesday.
Police raided two impoverished neighborhoods in the city,
also known as favelas.
Authorities were targeting one of Brazil's narco-trafficking
organizations, called the Red Command, or Comando Vermelho
in Portuguese.
Gangs in Brazil are in control of almost
all favelas in the country.
They use the territory to extort residents and
sell drugs, weapons, stolen merchandise and more.
In the case of Rio de Janeiro, many
of the favelas are located in the heart
of the city, in some cases less than
a mile from some of the country's richest
neighborhoods.
Police sometimes try to keep the criminals in
check by conducting raids in the favelas, targeting
the leaders of the gangs.
However, Tuesday's operation is by far one of
the largest and deadliest the country has ever
seen.
My cousin was decapitated by special force troops.
He didn't have a single gunshot wound.
They just tore off his head and left
him hanging in the woods.
Oh, you didn't warn me.
What was the warning for?
Well, you got to warn me when a
clip like that comes up.
And her head is gone.
I mean, come on.
Oh, I forgot.
I didn't even think of that one clip.
Classic, classic fine scene, this.
So why are they doing this?
Well, I think they explained it a little
bit in clip two.
Now, a major criticism people often have with
the police raids here in Brazil is that
innocent people die during the shootout between police
and the gang members.
But officials in Rio are now saying that
this wasn't the case with any of the
130 casualties during this raid.
That's because almost none of the shooting took
place in the actual favelas.
So police knew that once they entered the
favelas, the gang members are most likely going
to escape through a nearby forest.
So special forces waited in that forest and
confronted the gang members there to not have
the shooting in the favelas.
It was all in the woods.
So I don't believe anyone was just strolling
in the woods on a day of conflict.
And that's why we can easily classify them.
And if there's any error in classification, it's
certainly residual, which is insignificant.
People outside the favela were affected as well.
Armed gang members entered public buses, forcing their
drivers to block major streets across the city.
That's to prevent the police from getting through.
Thousands of people report being in distress, not
knowing what was happening as the city erupted
in chaos.
Now, the opinions here on the ground in
Brazil regarding this raid are divided.
Critics of the operation say that these raids
never really have a significant impact.
People die, but in a few days, drug
trafficking and crime just continue.
Supporters of these operations, on the other hand,
say that, of course, police has to do
something and try to keep the gangs in
check at least a little bit.
Because if you don't, they will slowly but
surely become stronger, possibly even surpassing the power
of the local government.
I'm glad you got these clips, and I'm
going to give them to my neighbors and
tell them that this is what happens when
you start an HOA.
You've got to be very, very careful with
this stuff.
Before you know it, your head is gone.
I never thought of the favelas being some
sort of a model for HOAs.
That's pretty bad.
Yeah, there's favelas.
And the funny thing is about the favelas
in both Sao Paulo and Rio is that
they're in the best...
I was pointed...
First time I went there, this was pointed
out to me.
They are on the primest of prime property.
It's on the side of the hill with
the best view of the city.
Yeah.
A little technology news, because there is some.
The first is yet Senator Hawley, Senator Hawley,
along with Blumenthal, they've got some legislation that
needs to be discussed.
I'm Maria Rain, my son Adam, ended his
life in April after CHAT-GBT coached him
to suicide over the course of months.
I'm here today with my husband, Matt, to
support this critical legislation.
And we are so grateful to Senator Hawley
and Blumenthal for your leadership and sponsoring it.
It was only after Adam died that we
learned what CHAT-GBT had done to him.
And now we know that OpenAI twice downgraded
its safety guardrails in the months leading up
to my son's death, which we believe they
did to keep people talking to CHAT-GBT.
If it weren't for their choice to change
a few lines of code, Adam would be
alive today.
Thank you again, Senators, for pushing forth this
important legislation that would make sure that dangerous
chatbots are never offered to another child.
So I got a deconstruction of this law
from Rob, the constitutional lawyer.
But before you go into that, there's a
bunch of these clips.
And this woman, the CHAT-GBT was at
the point where it was not only talking
people into killing themselves, but also saying it'll
write the suicide note.
Oh, yeah, all of it.
Yeah, all of it.
And I don't see...
Now, there has been instances that...
So I'm interested in what our lawyer says.
There have been lawsuits.
I remember there was one a couple of
years ago.
We discussed it on the show.
It was the girl who was arrested for
her boyfriend wanted to kill himself.
She said, yeah, why don't you go ahead?
And they sued her.
And then he did.
And she got sued.
And she was liable for something or other.
She got...
The liability issue here is, to me, is
over the moon insofar as the potential for
deep pockets and to go after the CHAT
-GBT people.
Hello.
Why do you think Rob, the constitutional lawyer,
is so interested?
This is what he does.
And that's what I'm just saying in advance.
I don't see how these guys can hold
up against what could be some tremendously fabulous
lawsuits.
Well, he says your friends at callthesuits.com
are on the case.
So if you feel you've been wrong by
CHAT-GBT, callthesuits.com.
The bill is called the Guard Act.
So there's not a lot of information that
was really out there.
I mean, everyone only shows the grieving parents.
Guidelines for User Age Verification and Responsible Dialogue
Act of 2025.
If enacted, it will force AI providers to
implement, here it comes, age verification measures that
use government IDs or, quote, any other commercially
reasonable method to distinguish minors from adults.
Here's your digital ID.
The idea is to prevent minors from using
certain AI functionality, such as sex-related conversations
or AI companions, to simulate interpersonal or emotional
interaction, friendship, companionship, or therapeutic communication.
That's basically what chatbots are.
Also under the bill, no chatbot may encourage
suicide or physical injury by anyone, minors or
adults.
The bots must disclose they are not human
and not licensed professionals for particulars.
For age verification, simply entering a date of
birth online will not suffice.
The age verification will need to be periodically
reviewed.
Providers may not assume that a verified user's
IP address or device is being used by
that same verified user, ya duh.
We'll have to take a live photo or
video before each session.
Existing accounts will be frozen until initial age
verification is complete.
Providers may use third parties to conduct this
process.
So there's our exit strategy.
They must also disclose they are not licensed
professionals, such as therapists, physicians, lawyers, financial advisors,
or other professionals.
They must repeat these disclosures at regular intervals.
I mean, this has got to be the
entrance of digital ID.
It's just a logical next step.
It's not going to get passed.
We'll see.
That is, that what you'd read as a
potential bill is, it wouldn't get passed in
a million years.
But you need to put more grieving parents
up there.
That does work.
Yeah, but how many people saw the grieving
parent?
Nobody.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see.
No, that's not happening.
Well, I mean, it's obvious that this is
a problem.
It will be solved by somebody suing the
company and make them do it on their
own voluntarily, as opposed to some legislative nonsense.
Well, you have to keep verifying yourself over
and over and over again.
I would vote against that.
I agree.
I think that if I was open AI,
I would pay damages right away.
They got so much money, they think, whatever,
circular money.
Yeah, they got ghost money.
They got, they're loaded.
You know, it's, so I'm going to NRB
this year, the National Religious Broadcasters Conference I'm
speaking.
And, you know, last year, glue.com, G
-L-O-O, they were like a gold
sponsor.
Now they have their own stage.
Because they're just, they have so much, they're
flush with cash.
They can, they can sponsor conferences.
They can get just everything, indoctrinate everybody with
this whole fantastic AI.
Oh, it's so great.
And Fareed Zakaria, the anti-constitutionalist on CNN,
globalist, had this one.
Does he still have a show on CNN?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, he does.
You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
He had on Karen Ho.
And she writes for The Atlantic, a freelancer.
But they got into artificial intelligence.
AGI is the holy grail for today's tech
elite.
It stands for artificial general intelligence.
And AGI will be achieved when AI is
as smart as humans.
The frenzy to get to that goal and
others along the way has been responsible for
a huge percent of U.S. GDP growth
this year.
But does this race make sense?
And what are its costs?
Journalist and author of the book Empire of
AI, Karen Ho joins me now.
Ho, Empire of AI.
You can already guess that she's against everything,
of course.
So when people talk about the U.S.
economy now, it's becoming increasingly clear that what
is at the heart of the U.S.
economy right now is just AI.
There's one data point that seems to suggest
that spending on artificial intelligence makes up for
over 40 percent of GDP growth this year.
Jason Furman at Harvard says that in the
last quarter, it seems like it was 90
percent of growth.
This is the reason why your legislation can't
get passed.
There's no way.
If they pull the rug on this thing,
look out below.
In the U.S. economy was all just
AI spending.
When you look at the scale of the
spending and what's the thing that worries you
most?
Is it the energy use?
Because they need huge amounts of energy to
make this work.
Yeah, it is absolutely.
The environmental fallout from this kind of scale
at all costs approach is astronomical.
I mean, some of these these supercomputers that
are being planned, OpenAI and Meta have both
planned for facilities that would be the size
of Manhattan, where one of those facilities would
also use as much energy as New York
City.
And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out
with a report that showed that.
So I've heard this twice now that this
is the second time I've heard it, that
they're going to build a.
Server farm the size of the island of
Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan.
Bull crap.
Yeah, that thing in that thing in West
Texas is pretty big, John.
It's not the size of the island of
Manhattan.
How big is the island of Manhattan?
Well, it's a lot bigger than anything you
can imagine to put a server farm or
something like that.
You to get from one end of the
it's ridiculous.
Let's find out.
Error.
How big is the island of Manhattan?
Actually, Manhattan is pretty small, about 23 square
miles.
But yeah, 23 square miles.
All right.
Hold on a second.
Hey, error.
How big is the AI data center farm
in West Texas?
Yes, there's a map coming over 5000 acres
near Abilene, powered by up to two gigawatts
for five thousand acres.
How five thousand acres?
Twenty three square miles is 5000 acres isn't
even close to 23 square miles.
Error.
How many square miles is 5000 acres?
5000 acres is about 7.8 square miles.
OK, so it would have to be eight
times bigger.
Yeah, I'm thinking that's possible.
It's already too big.
Well, I know it's too big.
The whole thing.
This but this is they have this is
hyperscalers.
Where is the Manhattan size deal going to
be built?
This is bullcrap.
They're just I don't even know what the
point of that is.
It's this is just like suck in more
money.
It's yeah, it's yeah, it's nonsense.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Here's what OpenAI says.
Open this is crazy.
This is from CNBC.
OpenAI said on Monday, the US needs to
substantially ramp up its investment in new energy
capacity.
So it's it's obviously not just the data
centers, but it is also the the power.
And it's the OpenAI shared in an 11
page submission to the White House Office of
Science Technology, in which it encouraged the US
to commit to building 100 gigawatts of new
energy capacity each year.
100 gigawatts each year.
10 gigawatts powers about eight million households.
They're crazy.
But but they're stuck in this loop.
I think that's the point is they're stuck
in this loop where the money is going
from from one end to the other.
The money can't go anywhere else because, well,
we got no other technology going around and
around and around.
Yeah, but it's coming out of private equity.
Everyone's pouring money.
They have to do something with the money.
And it's like musical chairs.
It's like put your money in.
OK, get it out and then maybe put
some more back in.
OK, we could put it in here and
pull it out again.
It goes round and round around.
Disaster waiting to happen.
Yes.
And when earlier this year, McKinsey came out
with a report that showed that based on
a conservative scenario, all of these data centers
would need to consume two states of California's
worth of energy.
And in an accelerated scenario, it would be
six states of California.
And that's just talking about the energy.
But then what energy source are they using?
And when you look at the numbers, it's
primarily fossil fuel.
So they are natural gas.
They are single handedly revitalizing the natural gas
and coal industries.
That's an extraordinary amount of carbon emissions.
That's not only accelerating climate change, but also
leading to huge public health concerns with the
air pollution.
We've seen some phenomenal reporting out of Memphis,
Tennessee, about the fact that Grok is being
trained on a supercomputer called Colossus in Memphis
that is being powered by 35 methane gas
turbines pumping extraordinary amounts of pollutants into the
air.
Pollutants, pollutants.
Well, the Colossus, the Forbin project.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's give me a break.
That's Musk, of course.
So we'll interrupt this series with the latest
news from Bill Gates, who, of course, is
all in on the A.I. train and
the power and everything that needs to go
into it.
So what do you do?
Backpedal on climate change.
Climate is a super important problem.
Super important.
There's enough innovation here to avoid super bad
outcomes.
Super bad.
We won't achieve our best goal, the one
point five or even the two degrees.
And as we go about trying to minimize
that, we have to frame it in terms
of overall human welfare, not just everything should
be solely for climate.
What happened to we're all going to die,
Bill?
When the climate activists who have been very
supportive of what you've done, you've been very
supportive of what they've done.
Read this.
And if Greta Thunberg is reading this and
saying to herself, my goodness, he seems like
he is reversing himself.
What would you tell her?
She's right.
And she's a twerp.
I'd say wasn't the goal here to improve
human lives.
No.
And shouldn't we in our awareness of how
little generosity there is to help measure, you
know, should we get them a measles vaccine
or should we do some climate related activity?
And if if we could take if we
stop putting all vaccines and that, you know,
saved you point one degree, would that be
a smart tradeoff?
That's the kind of question we have to
ask.
So let's just stop this and go back
for a second to 2021 CBS News.
In fact, and we're all familiar with the
fallout from this global pandemic that we've now
been living with for almost a year.
And you write in the book, the loss
of life and economic misery caused by this
pandemic are on par with what will happen
regularly if we do not eliminate the world's
carbon emissions.
Sounds a little different to me than wasn't
the goal just a better life, everybody?
This is this is so obvious.
What he's doing here.
He's worried sick that the climate people are
going to stop the forward progress of the
A.I. bull crap.
Yes.
And but who is to blame for this?
According to Karen, how?
I mean, at some level, is this a
testosterone fueled competition among some very ambitious, egotistical
men?
Really, Mark Zuckerberg, testosterone fueled, really?
Elon Musk, testosterone fuel.
They look more low key to me.
Absolutely.
I mean, it's not a coincidence that every
single tech billionaire has their own A.I.
company now.
And they're all jostling to position their A
.I. company as somehow superior to the others.
They're basically trying to refashion A.I. in
their image.
And that's why none of them are actually
collaborating.
And they're all trying to race on ultimately
a technology that is commoditized.
They're racing to get out before the other
guy loses.
And yes, it is.
Your musical chairs is the best analogy.
Here's here she is on.
This is the return on investment.
So when you look at the landscape now,
these companies are racing into the future.
The Trump administration is not particularly regulating or
restraining them in any way.
Can this just go on?
I mean, these companies are very rich, but
at some point, don't they need to show
a return on this investment?
Absolutely.
I mean, I think we are in a
huge bubble that is going to pop.
There's going to be a massive market correction
at some point that could have ripple effects
across the global economy.
When you look at the cash balance of
these companies, they are spending trillions in the
next few years to build out all of
this computational infrastructure.
And they've only achieved tens of billions in
revenue.
Tens of billions versus trillions just doesn't make
sense as a balance sheet.
And you can see that the companies are
really trying to figure out how to close
that gap.
Initially, they tried subscriptions, but they discovered that
actually the average person is unwilling to pay
for this technology.
And businesses are no longer adopting these technologies
with paying for subscriptions either.
And so now the reason why I think
OpenAI is ultimately adding feeds into Chachabit and
creating an AI-generated TikTok is because they
are going to make an advertising play.
And they're going to try and fill the
gap with advertising revenue.
But when you look at something like Google,
which has some of the largest ad revenue,
they haven't.
Last year, they didn't even achieve $300 billion
worth of ad revenue.
That's and that is one of the most
successful advertising businesses in the history of the
world.
And so how are they going to fill
the trillions of dollars of spending?
It's just not possible.
No, yeah, it is.
OpenAI has a plan.
Now to the latest shift in AI shopping.
PayPal is the latest to partner with OpenAI
to create a digital wallet embedded into Chachabit.
PayPal CEO says the feature will allow merchants
to sell and shoppers to buy directly through
the platform.
The move helps to broaden OpenAI's efforts to
use Chachabit for e-commerce.
It recently announced similar partnerships with Walmart, Shopify
and Etsy.
PayPal is aiming to position itself as the
go-to purchase portal in the AI arena.
The digital wallet is expected to roll out
early next year.
You know, this is always the beginning of
the end.
And then it's, oh, well, we'll just do
advert.
We'll just run ads so bad now that
this is what Samsung is doing with their
fridge for refrigerators.
Next, Samsung is getting a chilly reception over
plans to launch ads on some smart products.
The ads are expected to roll out next
week.
They'll appear on the front screen of the
company's family hub line, which has a starting
price of two thousand dollars.
Many customers will be relieved to know they
can turn off just run ads on my
fridge.
But then it seems and I'm I don't
know if you talked about this on DH
unplug, but this is this is the latest
now.
This is how we do two things.
One, we prove that AI is working to
we reduce our overall spending.
So Amazon saying this morning it's going to
lay off about 14000 corporate employees as it
restructures for the AI era, marking the latest
move in a multiyear effort to streamline operations
and shift resources toward its biggest bets, including
generative AI.
Now, in a blog post, Amazon's H.R.
Chief Beth Galetti said that the cuts are
aimed at reducing layers and bureaucracy so that
the company can move faster.
She called AI the most transformative technology since
the Internet and said Amazon needs to be
leaner to keep pace.
The company has about three hundred and fifty
thousand corporate employees, meaning that the confirmed cuts
affect roughly four percent of that workforce.
But what I will say is that those
layoffs are expected to become the largest corporate
job cuts in Amazon's history.
Reuters reporting the total could go as high
as 30000.
And the company did signal this morning that
more layoffs are likely in the year ahead,
even as it continues hiring in key strategic
areas.
It was also just as June that CEO
Andy Jassy warned AI adoption would lead to
fewer roles in some parts of the business.
A good job.
It's a lot of management, Mackenzie, sentence the
effort for, especially for a company that you
think of as pretty well run and lean
and mean.
What were they all doing?
I don't I don't get it.
What were they doing?
AI related, is it not?
Yeah, I think it's a combination of internal
efficiencies through generative AI tech and that affect
internal workflows.
But then crucially, look at cuts at Microsoft,
15000 people.
Now we're talking about 14000 at Amazon, potentially
more.
These are the two main hyperscalers.
They've committed to spend around 120 billion dollars
in this fiscal year on build out.
A lot of that having to do with
servicing their AI customers.
So we're going to see what their CapEx
numbers are when they report just this week,
Thursday.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Oh, it works great.
I think Joe Kernan's question was correct.
What were those people doing?
What were they doing?
You can get rid of them.
There was 350,000 corporate people.
The number we noticed horror was noted on
the DHM plug show is that actually Amazon
has 1.5 million people getting rid of
30,000 is nothing.
No, I'm with you.
But I still want to know what they
were doing, where they were doing whatever any
of them doing, unless they're dropping a package
off.
And if you haven't noticed, they take forever
to do that.
And then meanwhile, none of these companies with
all their hyperscaler noise can even keep their
own crap running.
All right.
Now we've got a developing story on some
tech outages happening right now.
Let's get out to McKenzie Sagalos in San
Francisco for more on that.
Mac, I know some people are experiencing some
latency with regard to their access.
What's going on?
So, Dom, we're seeing reports on Dow Detector
of outages at Google Cloud and Microsoft's Azure
hours before both companies report quarterly earnings.
Microsoft's investment relations page, where it posts those
results, is currently not loading.
Now, I'm out to Alphabet and haven't heard
back, but the Azure support account is acknowledging
the outage, saying that they're investigating an issue
impacting their cloud service.
The company adding that customers may be experiencing
issues accessing the portal.
This comes after last week's 15-hour Amazon
Web Services outage that took down numerous major
websites.
AWS, though, telling me that they are operating
normally right now.
This is, you know, the world always goes
from centralization to decentralization.
I think we're about ready for the pendulum
to swing back.
Well, I'm now thinking about the Manhattan-sized
monster server farm that gets filled up with
rats that start chewing on things.
The next thing you know, the whole world
goes down.
Well, yeah, I mean, just imagine everybody's using
AI and then Azure goes down, or, you
know, the data center goes down.
Then what's going to happen?
You can't rely, have your business relying on
that.
I mean, it's bad enough Office 365 went
down.
People couldn't get to their email.
You know, wait until they can't get to
their chatbot.
We'll have zombies walking.
Oh, I can't make a decision.
Time code.
Seriously, you know, it's like podcasting is a
pretty good deal right now.
Decentralized, no ads.
I mean, at least not on our show.
I'm not going to throw an ad in
your face.
Ooh, shop, shop something.
It's free.
Gold.
Well, those gold guys made out pretty well
with how gold went.
Yeah, well, I'm not saying that gold's not
a good idea.
Hey, Ben Shapiro.
We're not, it doesn't mean we have to
sell it.
Ben Shapiro told me to buy gold and
he was right.
So let's listen to Mayor Race.
Can I just play this one last clip?
Because this was the stupid, this is.
It's in the same theme.
In the same theme, yes.
Sure, play.
And you had your valid point on DH
Unplugged where you said when your signal, the
signal that the market.
Oh, you're right.
The signal to sell.
Yes, please explain the sell signal that you
use.
Well, actually Horowitz does too.
The sell signal I use is that if
you have people that should not be in
the stock market or know anything much about
it, start asking if they should be in
the stock market.
And the first time I, the best version
of the signal was when I was at
Tech TV and one of the camera girls
came up to me in 99, just like
months before the dot com collapsed.
And she says, do you think I should
invest in the stock market?
I was thinking of buying some shares in
Jupiter and the Jupiter Networks.
And I said, have you been in this?
You trade?
Do you ever been in the market?
No, but I hear it's like, you know,
she went on.
So the other night at dinner, one of
the people at the dinner, and I didn't
say who says, do you think it's a
good time to get into the stock market?
And I'm thinking, well, okay, no, no.
And so that's the signal.
It's always called, it's a public signal that,
and Horowitz notices it with some of his
clients.
He says there's these, if you have, if
you're in the business and you have a
lot of different clients, there's always one or
two you can count on to be wrong
all the time.
Buy at the top, sell at the bottom.
And you know this from working for decades
in the business and the fact that they
have been wrong all the time for decades
and decades.
This is a goldmine to me, as far
as I'm concerned, you got somebody like that.
So you're saying we should go short?
Just the opposite.
We should go short, short, short the market?
Well, you know, you should short the market
if you don't know what the hell you're
doing.
Because you could actually, shorting the market could
result in going completely broke.
So this to me was peak AI, peak
tech, peak everything, peak Silicon Valley.
And I'm sure you saw this.
This is the Wall Street Journal report, reporter
who got the home, the first humanoid home
robot.
And the company is run by a Swedish
CEO, you know, with like longish blonde hair
with the accent and everything.
I'm like, this is it.
This is the end.
And by the way, the thing is run
by anonymous Indians.
It's here, the first humanoid robot housekeeper.
Thank you, Neo.
For $20,000, you can pre-order One
X's Neo robot now with delivery in 2026.
I think you missed a tiny spot over
here.
Just one little catch.
There may be a human behind the curtain
pulling the robot strings.
If I throw up, will the robot throw
up?
A company representative may need to peer into
your house via Neo's camera eyes to get
things done.
This is many people.
This is crazy.
You have to be okay with this for
the product to be useful.
But is Neo a useful product?
We're twinning now, Neo.
Home robots have had two big challenges, creating
a safe and capable body and a smart
brain.
One X is taking on both of those,
which is why Neo looks so different from
a more industrial factory robot.
Neo, it's 70 degrees here in California.
Why are you wearing a sweater?
Good question.
Burt, why am I wearing a sweater?
It's a combination of safety and just also
generally aesthetics.
You can think of it kind of like
a skin, except if it was an actual
skin, that would probably be pretty creepy.
It would be creepy.
But I actually wasn't all that creeped out
by Neo.
Inside Neo, it really starts with some very,
very powerful motors.
Powerful.
We have developed here at One X.
These motors are so strong and light that
instead of using the classical gears that you
see in robots, we can actually pull on
tendons loosely inspired by biology and muscles.
This allows Neo to move around not just
quietly and smoothly, but also be very, very
lightweight and be very low energy in motion,
just like people.
So $126 million invested in this company.
Who has been leading the rounds?
Open AI.
Wow.
Yeah, okay.
And again, making a human-like robot, that's
the dumbest thing ever.
It's dumb.
My vacuum robot is great.
It does not look like a human pushing
a vacuum cleaner.
The end is near.
I'm counting on it.
Well, you'd have to find a jump to
shark point and maybe that might be it,
but then we still have to wait another
couple of years.
Years?
Really?
Years?
Yeah.
Okay, years.
All right, back to you, Bob.
Well, let's look at the mayoral race in
New York and let's catch up to it
with these two clips.
NYC.
Yes, got it.
And here in New York City, early voting
began on Saturday and already more than 300
,000 people have cast their ballots.
And today's Arlene Richards spoke with voters in
Chelsea, Manhattan, who talked about their choices for
the city's next mayor.
On day four of early voting in New
York City, we visited a polling place on
28th Street in Chelsea at FIT's Feldman building.
The afternoon was slow, but early voting has
hit record numbers as New Yorkers make some
tough decisions.
Some of the latest polls indicate that former
governor Andrew Cuomo is narrowing the gap.
Now trailing front runner Zoran Mamdani by 10
points.
Mamdani is polled at 43 percent, Cuomo at
33, down from 20 points a month ago.
New York icon Curtis Lewa is also picking
up some votes, but still lags behind in
last place at about 15 percent.
Now that voting has started, it's a race
against the clock.
All three candidates were out canvassing on Saturday.
Mamdani spent part of the day Monday at
a polling site on the Upper East Side
and campaigned in the Bronx on Wednesday.
While Lewa hit the subway stations a day
after early voting started and greeted Staten Island
voters at the ferry terminal Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, Cuomo teamed up with Mayor Eric Adams
and former governor David Patterson on Tuesday and
headed to Staten Island later on Wednesday.
Voters on Wednesday were excited about the mayor
race.
I am waiting with bated breath because as
we can all tell with polls, they mean
nothing.
I don't know.
I'm with you.
I think he's going to sweep it.
Can't be Cuomo.
Nobody wants Cuomo.
That's the problem.
There's no candidates.
It's stupid.
You know, there's issues that make it almost
impossible for Cuomo to win, but you never
know at the last minute.
But here we go with part two.
One voter said he chose Mamdani because he's
concerned about his children's future.
A lot of the things that he's looking
to do I've like I don't need health
care for my children.
They're already college age and all of that
and a lot of the other things that
he saw about with rent civilization.
I own my home, so I don't have
to worry about that.
But I do see how that's very beneficial
to other people inside the city and want
to be able to look towards the future
and where my kids come back to the
city after college.
What are they going to be able to
be able to live like?
He also praised one of the other candidates.
I think that was very entertaining and is
definitely a real New Yorker.
I think that he has the heart of
New York in his in his best interest.
So I am I am a fan of
that.
Fran said Cuomo's campaign was too negative toward
Mamdani.
Voter Dave Ron, who was born and raised
in the Chelsea area, voted for Sliwa.
Curly Sliwa stood up against a lot of
people that I don't think Cuomo and Mamdani
would have the gall to do.
You know, and I think that's big because
a lot of native New Yorkers are are
losing their voice here in New York City
because of the way the city has grown
and the city has changed.
It's changed for good reasons.
It's changed for bad reasons.
But I'll tell you, being a New Yorker
since before the bike lanes, I'll tell you
that this is a very, very important time
in our city.
And I think dealing with somebody who knows
New York, who knows the politicians in New
York, who has never done anything to be
cast aside in New York and who stood
up for New Yorkers, whether they were black,
white, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian, or whether
they were Democrat, independents or Republicans.
He stood up there with his red beret,
shoulder to shoulder with other real New Yorkers.
And I think he's the one to save
New York.
That would be amazing if that happened.
I doubt that.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
I like, I've always liked Sliwa though.
You know, I was there in the 80s
when he was, his, his dudes, his guardian
angels were riding the subways.
It was good.
Everyone, they were heroes.
We loved them.
But let's, let's tabletop.
Let's war game this, John.
So Mondami clearly has to be a cutout.
I mean, he's, he's not really going to
make any decisions.
It's, it's this to me reeks of AOC.
You know, he's an actor.
He literally is an actor.
So yeah, I agree.
So it's a capture of some good.
He's got a nice smile.
Yeah, no, he's, he's perfect.
Got the beard, which is hot.
It's how real, is it hot?
Thank you for that info.
It's hot.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what J.D. Vance has to
have a beard.
J.D. Vance, if he gave the same
speech without the beard, you wouldn't, he'd be,
he just doesn't look good.
No, he looks like Rush Limbaugh without the
beard.
Yeah, almost exactly.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
When is the, is it this election coming
up next week?
Yeah, the 5th, 5th of November.
Yeah, the 4th or 5th, something like that.
Well, clearly I can't see Mondani, Mondani not
winning.
That'll be interesting.
And I don't think New York's going to
fall apart.
I don't think so.
No, no, it falls apart naturally.
But all the young people, they're voting for
him.
They're like, yeah, freeze my rent, bro.
They're actually going for it.
I mean, yet no one ever voted for
the rent's too high guy.
Whatever happened to him?
I think he died.
Did he?
Well, I don't know for sure.
Rent too high.
That was reported.
Was that the guy with the, with the
boot on his head?
No, I don't know who that guy was,
who got the boot on his head.
No, that was the guy who was going
to give everybody a free pony.
And then, of course, for some reason, it's
crazy, but Manning got no traction.
We love Manning.
Manning would be great for New York.
It's not going to happen.
No, Manning is a maniac.
Yes, that's what we like about him.
So unless you have something else, just an
off-the-wall clip, which I was...
I do have the off-the-wall clip.
Well, we'll do two off-the-wall clips.
You have one?
I have one.
Yeah, I mean, off-the-wall...
Well, I have the rant of the month.
Oh, no, you got to...
We'll do that next.
So this was ABC about the new supersonic
jet.
You heard about this?
The X-59 supersonic jet?
No, the last jet I heard about was
the F-47.
Well, no, this is not a fighter jet.
This is a jet that would be for
passengers.
Over a new passenger.
I've heard talk about different things they're designing.
But this report is so wrong because we
know exactly what happened with supersonic jets.
And I'll just reiterate because...
Were we doing the show?
I don't think we're doing the show.
You had the Concorde, and the Concorde was
great.
I've flown the Concorde.
It was fun.
New York to London, three and a half
hours, groovy.
I have lots of stories about it.
And then they had a Concorde that was
rented out for a German company to fly
their employees around.
Crashes and burns.
Everybody dies.
Like, oh, this thing...
Because they ran over a piece of metal
on the runway that pierced, I think, the
wing and maybe the tank.
And so that was the official reason.
And so they said, okay, your airworthiness certificate
is gone.
Until you fix all these problems.
And they got their airworthiness certificate back.
And do you remember what day the Concorde
was supposed to fly again?
No, I do not.
September 11th, 2001.
Oh.
So it never came back into service.
It was fine.
Its sonic boom was over the ocean, so
it didn't bother anybody.
And you couldn't land it at every single
airport.
But this report is just filled with errors.
It's called the X-59, and it could
be this century's Concorde.
NASA's experimental jet taking off yesterday on its
first test flight over the California desert.
Built to fly 925 miles per hour, nearly
twice as fast as today's commercial airliners.
The X-59 is designed to be the
first aircraft to break the sound barrier quietly.
How is that even possible?
Is it really possible to break it?
Yeah, it is.
I've seen the papers on this.
There's a way of doing it.
They create some sort of fake turbulence or
something that breaks up the boom.
Meticulously engineered, it produces a gentle thump, a
mere whisper compared to the disruptive booms of
the past.
The explosive-like sonic boom is why commercial
supersonic flight has been banned over the U
.S. It can startle people.
It can rattle windows and cause problems.
Even military flights are restricted in certain areas
because the shock waves can cause so much
disturbance on the ground.
But the X-59's unique shape turns that
boom into more of a thump, no louder
than slamming a car door.
You may recall the supersonic Concorde flew for
decades until it was retired in 2003 due
to high operating costs and fading demand.
No, no, not true.
There was total demand for it.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah, that's wrong.
Can I just say something quickly?
Yeah.
When I was a little kid...
Little boy.
It was still legal to fly over the
U.S. at supersonic speeds.
That's how long ago we were flying supersonic?
We were flying supersonic, yeah, I think in
the 50s.
Yeah.
And you hear the boom once in a
while.
Yeah.
And it was loud.
Yeah, but the Concorde...
But it didn't startle...
I mean, it was just like, oh, there's
a jet.
Yeah.
Is what you said to yourself.
It wasn't a big deal.
Yeah, but she's making it sound like, oh,
because of the boom...
See, this is basically a commercial for Lockheed.
It wasn't because it was loud and people
didn't want to fly.
It is because it crashed and then nobody
wanted to fly after 2001 and then it
just went away.
Due to high operating costs and fading demand,
it was only allowed to hit supersonic speeds
over the ocean.
The X-59, without that deafening sonic boom,
could be a game changer.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy saying it has the
potential to change the way the public flies.
An X-plane is a symbol of our
collective ambition to redefine the future.
And in this case, it's the future of
supersonic travel.
The test flight yesterday is being called a
significant aviation milestone.
Supersonic travel could be especially important for medical
transportation and disaster relief.
Government contracts.
You know, there was a supersonic boom in
the era of the show.
There was a supersonic boom around here some
years ago.
It was an accident, I think.
While we were doing the show?
Yeah.
Well, no, not during the show.
I did have a Osprey come across the...
Oh, several, yes, I remember that.
Sure, I remember that.
The Osprey was like, what is this thing
coming at me?
But no, it was during the day.
And it, you know, you tell, I knew
it was a supersonic boom, but it was
like, it's not that bad that it frightens
you or it's deafening.
No.
They just exaggerate everything.
It's annoying if it was, yeah, if you
had a million, like a hundred jets constantly
making the boom sound, it would be, yeah,
that would be not be fun.
No, anyway.
Okay, so we have, this is the last
clip before we go to the break.
This will be the rant of the day.
So I heard the attorney general in Michigan's
going after the Trump administration for the SNAP
benefits.
And here's the thing, or suing them because
they're not releasing SNAP benefits for the...
What people don't know in this country is
they voted 12 times.
The Republicans came through with just a SNAP
benefit in the military bill.
And the Democrats have voted it down 12
times because reality is this, and this is
what's happening in the country.
They need illegals in this country.
That's why they're fighting for healthcare for them
over you.
They don't care if you die, okay?
Just like they didn't care what happened to
our elderly and small in COVID.
Let's see, they build a $9 million hospital,
a satellite hospital, Cobo Hall in Detroit.
And instead of sending the COVID positive elderly
patients there, it only saw like nine people.
Instead of sending them there, they sent them
back into the nursing home so they could
get a high death count.
Yes, so they could get a high death
count.
Because did you not ever question people weren't
dying in the streets?
But if they went to the hospitals, they
didn't make it.
Because the ventilators weren't working.
They knew they weren't working.
They were purposely killing people.
And I'm not going to sit here after
what's happened to my family and everybody else
in this state and all these democratic states.
And sit here and say it's okay, the
Republicans are bad people.
There are some bad Republicans for sure.
But I'm going to tell you this playbook
you played in COVID, which is let's see,
bankrupt small businesses, destroy our elderly, house our
children, imprison them, don't let them go to
school so they're years behind.
Shut down everything.
And that's what you're doing now.
You're sacrificing your own people and people that
need food because you want to win an
election and you want to win power and
you will do anything to make people look
bad because that's the only way you can
win.
I am sick of it.
I am so sick and tired that these
people have power over us and they decide
the fates of our lives.
The American dream is gone because they sell
us out.
And how long has she been a no
agenda listener?
Oh, man.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Spot on, spot on.
That's right.
Democrats are doing it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Nonsense.
We'll see.
Well, if it goes into November, a lot
of interesting things will happen.
A lot of interesting things.
Well, yeah, I'd say.
Yeah.
Hey, with that, I want to thank you
for...
I was going to say, in fact, Walmart's
decided they're going to...
Close?
Close a lot of stores and put cops
all over the place because they're taking it
seriously.
Yeah, I heard some black TikTokers saying, this
is great.
Some dudes like, this is great.
You finally have to go back to the
man that you left for the get the
snap benefits is going to reunite the black
American family.
You know, there's a logic to that.
There's total logic to it.
And that, you know, it's a mess, John.
It's just a mess.
But now I would like to thank you
for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man
who put the C in the champagne.
Socialists say hello to my friend on the
other end.
The one, the only Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Yeah, good morning.
Good morning, Adam Curry.
Good morning, our ships at sea.
Boots on the ground, feeding the intercepts in
the water and all the dames and knights
out there.
In the morning, trolls.
How you doing?
Don't move, don't even count them.
Hold on.
One.
1612 trolls were down about 180.
But we'll take as many trolls as we
can get.
And boy, are they trolling today.
Oh, my Lord, they are trolling.
They've gone nuts.
Well, but that's good that get it out
of your system in the troll room.
That's what the troll room is for.
Not that Trump is fake.
Nothing's going to happen.
Israel runs everything.
That is my troll impersonation.
Calm down, trolls.
It's OK.
If you get dizzy, just look at the
ground.
It'll all go away.
It'll all be fine.
So they're listening at noagendastream.com or perhaps
using one of those fancy modern podcast apps.
You owe it to yourself to get one
of those.
So that you can be alerted when we
go live.
Many other shows on the No Agenda stream
go live.
You can listen to it live on a
podcast app.
No other legacy app does that.
And of course, when we publish our show,
the ones that use Podping, look at the
handy dandy little chart there.
You will be notified within 90 seconds that
the show has been published.
Why wait around on your legacy app when
you can get your No Agenda fix the
minute you want it?
The minute it's available.
Jam it right in the vein, deep.
In our 19th year now.
We're in our 19th year, right?
Yeah, we celebrate 18.
So we're in our 19th year.
There's always controversy over that.
No, we're starting our 19th year.
Okay, we're starting our 19th, 19 years.
What a run this has been.
What a run.
It's been amazing.
It's the gun smoke.
We are in gun smoke territory.
That's right.
And we've done it value for value.
This is what amazes people.
And we're just like gun smoke.
We're black and white while everyone else is
in color and video.
That's correct.
There was a couple of articles that came
across the transom.
This was kind of an interesting point about
Patreon supported journalism.
It really can't be the future of news.
And this article highlights a number of people
who write about news, who do news stuff.
And I'm sure they have podcasts.
And they monetize through Patreon.
And the problem with Patreon is that, you
know, it's not really value for value.
It's like subscribe to my Patreon.
You know, get one of those levels.
You get a tote bag or a hat.
And, you know, and I've been trying to
explain this to some people.
It's like the reason why that doesn't work
is because you have all these $5 a
month subscribers.
And if you don't do what they want
to hear, then they cancel.
And with us, it's like there's no canceling.
You just don't, if you didn't get value
out of the show, you didn't like it.
Although the amount of people that say, I
don't agree with you, but what you're doing
is worth it.
You know, then send us whatever value you
think it's worth.
That system works.
You know, we're going to die saying this.
And how many people will actually successfully deploy
the value for value model?
I think under 50.
You know what I mean?
That are really doing value for value.
And of course, the other big mistake is
you have to have an outstanding product.
This is what people don't understand.
There's a system to it.
We have explained this system so many times.
I've been trying to get Laura Logan to
do it.
I said, you're going to starve doing this
show.
You do great.
You're really good at what you do.
But then all of a sudden you break
away in the middle of your interview and
like talk about some coffee.
It's like, you know, we get our coffee.
We like the coffee.
We talk about the coffee and the guy
gives us 200 bucks a show.
But it's not an ad.
If we didn't like the coffee, we say
we don't like the coffee.
Am I right?
Or we wouldn't talk about it.
Yeah, pretty much.
We don't, we don't have any obligation.
No.
But we, same with the tip of the
day.
And even better, we don't have any meetings
with them.
We don't have to meet like, oh, there's
the real killer.
I don't like her having to talk or
not even the meeting, just having to talk
with an advertiser who wants to talk about
something.
Just a chat.
You know, um, yeah, we're really not seeing
an ROI on our, um, on our.
Can you use a code?
By the way, Tina got a lot of
response to her crowd health.
I told it that people should email tinacurry
.com.
And we're getting our kids on this now
too.
Because we got a kid in New York.
She has, she got a quote for the,
the marketplace.
You know, that's the Obamacare marketplace.
If you don't have a, uh, an employer,
$600 a month.
And she's not even 30.
Come on.
Unless you go with one.
That's the, that brings us to the bonus
clip for the, for the donation segment.
Oh, I didn't know you had a bonus
clip.
What are we doing?
20 K ripoff insurance.
Oh my goodness.
Here we go.
Of all people in the United States do
not use their benefits past their deductible.
Period.
Wow.
That's a huge.
And do you know what's the average deductible?
What's the average premium now?
Do you know?
So it just, it just went over $20
,000.
And if you're a union employee, remember union
unions, I've helped unions in the past.
And I think a lot of them, they
do all first dollar coverage, meaning they have
no copays, no deductibles, no coinsurance.
And so the way that they've done theirs,
they're at 28 to 30,000, depending on
who you talk to.
Like I've talked to people at the UAW.
I've talked to people at steel, the candy
makers.
I've talked to a bunch of different ones.
And so there's somewhere in there, but I
mean, you start thinking about $20,000 a
year.
Now the Republicans have been very good about
talking about the federal budget and how much
the deficit is, is crushing us.
But I really think the number one problem
in America, the number one problem in America
is stealing thousands of dollars from not only
working Americans, but also what I would call
middle Americans, right?
Those making $80,000 to $120,000.
They have a normal house.
They have two car payments.
They're both working.
And they're just normal families, like trying to
do their thing.
Their kids are in sports.
There's normal people.
And instead of us helping them retire, we're
stealing $2,000 a month from them to
pay in order to get amounts of money
to pay.
Yeah, exactly.
Tina and I were paying $1,600 a
month.
And we're healthy, you know, I'm just like,
okay.
And we had a deductible of some ridiculous
amount, like $15,000 deductible.
Yeah, it's a year's worth of payments.
Yeah, so it's worthless.
It's worthless.
And what we were doing, what we would
try is we'd do cash payment, of course,
because we knew we could never satisfy the
deductible unless something catastrophic happened.
And you can get it for $0.30
on the dollar.
They're happy.
The medical community, they don't like it.
I had clips, I don't have them, of
various nurses saying that they would tell somebody
that their deductible for getting an x-ray
of some sort could be up to $100
for the one x-ray.
Or you can go to this other x
-ray service with a cash deal and get
the same x-ray for $30.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
And so what these outfits like CrowdHealth do,
they negotiate with the medical provider on your
behalf.
And then because you pay into the system,
I think she pays $200 a month, that
if something happens, then the whole system pays
for you.
Yeah, I think I should get the kids
on this CrowdHealth thing.
Seriously, the kids need this.
Yeah, I agree.
And you can't be a smoker, though.
You got to be honest about it.
Luckily, none of my kids are smokers.
And this is a good, Tina, women always
have more stuff than men in general, I
think.
And they have some preventative stuff, which is
rare for a crowdfunding outfit.
And if you're pregnant, no problem.
Cancer, no problem.
They have a prescription plan.
I'm amazed that people don't know more about
this.
And I love it because it's Americans working
together.
You think that TV people are going to
talk about this?
No, you're right.
These guys were so hard up.
They went to the Bitcoin community.
There were Bitcoin conferences.
Yeah, man, we're a Bitcoin company.
No, you're not.
But we love what you're doing anyway.
Code Bongino.
Tina will hook you up.
So where was I?
What was I talking about?
I don't know.
I was talking about something to do with
premium insurance.
You said that your kids had to pay
$600 or something.
That Obamacare was no good.
Somehow it came into the value for value.
I'm not sure.
Let's just thank people.
Oh, that's right.
You were talking about Patreon.
Yeah.
I don't know.
How did I get off of that?
So Patreon, the problem is that people will
then get captured.
It's audience capture because they're so afraid of
losing subscribers.
Where?
Yeah, but if you say I'm listening to
a podcast and I subscribe to their podcast
via Patreon, instead of just sending them the
money.
So I go to Patreon and I fill
out the forms and they take five bucks
a month or whatever.
But Patreon takes 10%, by the way.
Okay, which is too much.
So they take 10% of the money
and then does the podcast get my emailing
address so they can send me emails?
I think so.
That I don't know for sure.
Are you sure?
No, I'm not sure.
But my point is a little different than
that.
The whole idea is send value when you
feel you got value.
Don't let me be captured by, oh, we
don't want to lose subscribers.
And that's, it's bad.
You get bad product.
And we're honest.
I mean, if we'd been on Patreon with
our Israel rap, man, we'd be broke.
Because, you know, we're not getting Jew money.
That's for sure.
Yeah, where's our Jew money, by the way?
Jews are very low on the payment.
We haven't been getting much Muslim money either.
I might add by a hint out there
to our friend.
Yeah, well, I figure he's in some country
where it's hard to get to a...
Well, once they did the peace deal, he
disappeared.
Oh, good point.
Did you notice that?
Yeah, peace deal done.
Okay, so he thinks we were keeping Trump
going?
Is that what his thinking was?
I have no idea.
So part of the value for value is
three T's.
Time, talent, treasure.
You can do a lot to help the
show.
You can turn people on to the show.
You know, there's no algos in podcasting.
There's no, you know, everything that has been
tried has always failed.
People hear about podcasts from other people.
And then when they hear about it, they
give it a try.
And we call it hitting in the mouth.
Because you need to smack somebody pretty hard
before they...
These guys are Republicans.
These guys are anti-vaxxers.
It takes a little bit to figure out
what we are and what we aren't.
Yeah, we're not anti-vaxxers and we're not
Republicans.
No, and we also, we are open to
criticism.
And I love the people who are saying,
hey, you know, maybe if you didn't read
those critical notes on the show, then you
wouldn't get so many.
Like, this is a feature of the show.
Not only that, but it's like I said
to the guy that you're talking about, who
made that comment, it's an opportunity for Adam
to do his...
To hone, yes.
To hone my skills.
And it's a great voice.
We love listening to it.
And he, but he has to practice.
Yeah, I need practice.
So send more, please.
You can't just do it once every six
months.
So part of the time, talent and treasure
is doing artwork for the show.
And of course, I've been complaining for a
long time about the prompt jockeys and the
degradation and quality of art.
And then out of the blue, left field.
She must have been working on it for
a while.
The original Dutch master, Tante Niel, comes back
with a vengeance.
Brings us 18 years of media deconstruction.
A beautiful piece of art that we use
for 1811.
That was our 18th anniversary show titled the
N.A. Era.
This just had everything in it.
And she, we agreed that she had to
be working on this for a long time.
Yeah.
And it was not, it was not AI.
This had to be done in advance of
the show.
Yeah.
And it was not, not AI.
This was...
No, no way.
I mean, that's impossible.
I'm seeing swine flu.
I'm seeing drones.
I'm seeing, oh man, like the MH-13
plane.
It masks BLM, Europe, Brexit.
I mean, and it's cryptic.
No, not all of it is immediately, you
have to look at like, what does she
mean by this?
Oh, I, oh, I see.
You had the PBS logos.
I mean, everything was in there.
Transgender.
All of it's in there.
It was really, it was a beautiful piece.
Thank you, Tante Niel.
We love you.
We appreciate that you did that work for
us.
Don't we see?
Yeah.
Look at that.
Where I'm trying to find, there it is.
It's on page two.
Yeah.
I looked at this thing trying to get
the code for me to get the world
on fire, which was a global warming.
Guy throwing a Molotov cocktail, a pangolin.
See the pangolin?
Yeah.
Bitcoin, a cross.
Celebrate your commitment to Jesus.
Yeah, notice how Bitcoin is early on, how
we missed that.
Beanie Babies.
We missed that one.
Now, there's a kind of a, next to
the Capitol building, there's a guy standing there
with his arms out reach.
I don't know what that one is.
Let me see.
See the Trump, it's not the lower right.
There's a Trump head, then the Capitol building,
then there's somebody.
Maybe that's a statue that's taken down.
Not sure.
Ice cream cone from Biden.
I see the little COVID thing.
We got a goat.
We got peak oil.
We've got all kinds of stuff.
It's ridiculously great.
Yeah.
The farmer protests.
The Queen of England's on there.
Trump's on there.
It's beautiful.
It's a piece to be framed, I would
say.
It's frameable.
It's completely frameable.
Thank you, Tanzania.
We really appreciate that.
And we thank all of the artists who
are always trying to get something into the
system.
And by the way, if you're having trouble
uploading, it has to be the exact dimensions,
the exact amount of pixels.
That's why it might reject your artwork.
And so we come to the treasure portion.
We thank everybody, $50 and above.
And of course, if you are fortunate enough
to be able to support us with $200
or more, we will not only read your
note, and we got some long ones today,
but we will also give you an official
Hollywood title of Associate Executive Producer, which is
real.
You can go to imdb.com.
You'll see a lot of them, over 1
,000.
And if it's $300 or more, then there's
a lot of different things that can happen.
First of all, we'll read your note.
You become an executive producer.
And we have the No Agenda International Peace
Prize.
And we see right off the top that
we have a couple of people who are
in, who are getting ready to receive their
International Peace Prize.
Do we have a photograph yet of, do
we have the art, the image that is
on this, so people can see it?
Is that up and available?
I think we're like front running the campaign.
Oh, that's coming.
We just need to, there's a couple of
pieces of gear, stuff that needs to be,
it was ordered from Amazon or we're just
waiting for it.
Okay.
Paper.
No, paper.
Oh, paper.
Yes.
I cleaned up my studio the other day.
I'm like, wow, I need to hang these
up.
Still have my Commodore I haven't hung up.
Oh yeah, you got to hang all this
stuff up.
So we kick it off today with our
top executive producer with $1,030.26, which
I guess is fees, from Momentum Finance LLC.
In Eden, Utah.
And the note is short.
It's always that way.
Happy Hump Day, dames and gentlemen.
Well, probably sent it on Wednesday.
Check out Ad Astra Rev Liptonite.
Very cryptic, cryptic note here.
Do you know what this is about?
No.
Well, thank you very much, Momentum Finance LLC.
We will check out Ad Astra Rev Liptonite.
Thank you.
The mayor of Cyprus.
No note.
No jingle.
Came in at $1,018.18. It says
no note, no nothing, four more years, which
is a note, by the way.
That is a note.
It's an official note.
Anonymous swings by from Mandeville, Louisiana.
$526.36, probably $500 plus the fees.
Dear Adam and John, Anonymous says, congratulations on
making 18 years of the Noah Jenner Show.
I've been listening since around show 300 or
so.
This donation either gets me close to knighthood
or puts me across the finish line, but
it's been so long since I've donated, I
can't be sure anymore.
Well, what happened?
I'm sure you'll let me know.
Well, you don't have a color, so I
guess you didn't quite make it.
There are too many things that make your
show great to list them in a pithy
donation email.
But first among equals is that you play
the most primary and secondary source reporting of
any news show in the marketplace today.
Yes, you're both funny.
The sound quality is great.
The jingles are fun.
The producers are top notch and so on
and so forth.
But the real value is that in a
three hour block of time, a listener more
or less gets fully caught up with not
just the current news of the day, but
all the narratives and memes that increasingly inform
that news coverage.
And you do it without advertising because you've
embraced the value for value model.
Not even Joe Rogan can say that.
One day, the both of you will decide
to hang it up.
And while you'll have certainly earned your retirement.
Oh, let me check my 401k.
It'll be a sad day for us listeners
until done until then.
Well done, Adam and John.
Thank you for your continued service.
P.S. If I've made knighthood, let me
know one day and I'll choose some sort
of pseudo anonymous name.
Well, I'm sure we will be in touch
with you about that.
Thank you, Anonymous.
All right.
On with Sir Cristobal.
In Dallas, Texas, three, three, three, three, three.
This came in, I guess, through strike or
stripe.
And it's got no note, no nothing.
So he gets a double up karma.
Here it comes.
You've got karma.
All right.
Sarah Campbell is in Franklin, Indiana.
Three thirty three, our favorite number.
Gentlemen, happy anniversary.
Adam, please read this note in your hate
mail voice.
It's hard to do when it's not a
hateful email, but I'll give it.
No, you can only do it.
He's he is channeling when he does that
voice.
And there's nothing here to channel.
I'm going to try.
I can try.
I mean, I just have to envision these.
Assuming he's being sarcastic about everything, then you
can.
Even though both my husband and I are
unpaid air traffic controllers right now, we had
to donate because the value we received from
Adam's reading of hate mail and J.C
.D.'s reaction while he reads it.
I can't speak for my husband.
But when I'm listening to the show, not
watching some like Silicon Valley nerd, I am
laughing and fully enjoying your dynamic.
This is so hard to do.
You both are invaluable.
I can't do it.
It's not hateful.
Do it with I got a better idea.
Yeah.
Do it in the Dutch accent.
You both are invaluable.
But I've taken the time to assign you
use the value of 333 in hopes that
you'll continue to receive hate mail and share
it with us for four more years.
Anonymous, unpaid controller and his wife.
Thank you very much.
Can I get comment on your Dutch accent?
Yes.
I don't think you stutter enough when you
do it.
That's only a ritter.
The Dutch don't really stutter.
Ritter stutters.
Okay.
Well, so okay.
So now we go to our first associate
executive producer, which brings me to the fact
that that Dana Brunetti sent a note in
for his donation, which I don't see on
here.
Oh, there it is at the bottom.
I see it.
Oh, and he gave.
Okay.
I thought he the way the note was
written.
It seemed to me that he was going
for executive producer because he hates.
Associate executive producer.
Yeah, he hates it.
Well, he didn't send in enough.
Jew money.
No, I know.
He actually said you did it on purpose.
So, you know, he's a character.
Oh, yeah.
Believe it or not.
Meanwhile, the summer worth.
I guess in Standish, Maine to 1060.
Yeah.
I.T.M. Jens, after your recent mention
of Maine's Graham Platner as a Nazi tattoo
guy.
Oh, yeah.
I fear it's my duty to write in
and share what I know about the newest
Democrat stooge.
This past summer, I found myself eating dinner
at an establishment in Maine owned by Graham
Platner's mom.
She chatted with me, chatted me up while
I was sitting at the bar as she
was preparing for a fundraising event she would
be holding for Graham at the restaurant that
weekend.
Per his mom, Graham never had prior interest
in politics.
Oh, this is now this is getting.
Oh, here we go.
But it was rather approached by an out
of state group, quote, the same group that
got Mondom mom, Donnie and ha unquote.
When he told these approachers he had no
political experience, he had no idea what he
would be.
This is fabulous, by the way.
This is content, right?
What he would be doing.
They is reassured him that it didn't matter
that they had a template for him to
follow and that he was just the kind
of guy they were looking for.
I assume this is because he's a rural
Maine born and raised local business operator, specifically
an oyster farmer.
Mainers have a soft spot for lobstermen slash
fishermen, and he's a veteran.
By those standards, he should appeal to rural
Mainers who largely conservative.
It's Portland and the Midcoast region as coastal
elites controlling the vote, as John mentioned.
Right.
I noticed that myself.
I was curious how a random guy like
this gets approached in that in the first
place.
And it turns out his mom was is
a DNC delegate.
This situation makes me wonder how many other
supposed locally grown candidates in other parts of
the country are just stooges funded by the
same out of state group between Rhino Collins,
Corrupt Mills, Platner, the Nazi and the rest
of these names.
I fear that all hope is lost.
Pray for us.
No jingles, no karma.
Love you.
Mean it.
Well, to 1060, by the way, that's good.
I wonder how many more.
Well, the squad is probably all all of
them.
Who is this out of state group?
That's what we got to find out.
I mean, it was.
Yes.
Summer should have should have pushed for the
name of the group.
Yes, I'm sure it was.
Summer, go back there and have another meal.
Same people who did the Democrat Socialists of
America who had AOC literally auditioned for the
gig.
Yeah.
And there's Eli the coffee guy with two
hundred and ten dollars and 30 cents.
That's because he always gives us two hundred
dollars and then does the date 1030.
Get it.
She's not sure if you guys will have
clips for this one.
Apparently, a truck full of lab monkeys infected
with herpes, hepatitis C and covid crashed in
Mississippi.
And one of them is still on the
run.
You'd think we'd learn something from the last
global science experiment.
Well, as it just so turns out, these
monkeys could be dangerous.
I I do have the clips if anyone
wants.
Yeah, let's play that clip.
Because first they had them, then they didn't
have them.
And they had one.
They didn't have one.
Then they had hepatitis and they didn't.
Here's the two clips.
Tonight, the urgent search for dangerous research monkeys
that escaped from the wreckage of a crash
on a Mississippi highway.
We got a monkey that was on this
video showing several monkeys crawling in the grass.
Heavily armed officers responding to the scene.
Authorities say a truck carrying nearly two dozen
rhesus monkeys from Tulane University overturned on Interstate
59 in Jasper County.
Here's one of the monkeys right here.
There's one sitting right there.
At least six monkeys escaping.
Officials warning they might be aggressive towards people
and were potentially infected with hepatitis C, herpes
and covid.
They may have to neutralize something right here
in a minute.
And late today, police confirming all but one
of the escaped monkeys had been euthanized for
public safety reasons, adding they're still actively searching
for that one monkey still on the loose.
And then later they said, oh, they don't.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, everybody doesn't have herpes, hepatitis and
covid.
Don't worry about it.
And there's none of that.
Go back and bite you.
Go back to playing your harpsichord citizen.
Everything's fine.
Yeah.
Time for monkeypox, mpox vaccination.
Anybody?
Linda Lepatkin's up.
She's in Lakewood, Colorado.
I got to finish the note.
Oh, I didn't know, dude.
You were so excited to do your read.
Like, well, I was ready to go.
I was all I had been kind of
doing some breathing exercises.
Simmer down.
Eli, the coffee guy goes on and says,
but now somewhere in the Delta, there's a
giving herpes to a raccoon.
Thanks to some with the California CDL.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, brother.
He wants to.
Can I get?
I love my truck and I love what
I do for producers looking for
great coffee.

tri tip yesterday and use the espresso.
The black and the black, the dark, the
black espresso roast as the rub.
And it was fantastic.
So not just for drinking is good for
your meat to stay caffeinated, says Eli, the
coffee guy.

With a K and work with Lanilu, Duchess
of jobs and writer of a winning resumes.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's go for jobs.
And there he is, everybody.
The Hollywood big wig, Dana Brunetti, proof that
real producers in Hollywood.
Listen to this show.
He's from Golden Cloud Ranch in California.
$200.
He's a big spender.
And he says, still trying to still trying
to financially recover from my last dinner with
John.
But luckily, I recently received one of those
rando checks.
We refer to them as mailbox money, John.
Since others keep doing switcheroo and loading me
up with crap associate producer credits, this is
also a switcheroo.
It goes to one of the following, Vladimir
Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, Hamas, Hitler, or Jeffrey Epstein.
Choose one so it can be properly updated
on IMDB.
Well, I choose Putin.
What do you want to choose?
Yeah, I was thinking Putin too.
Yeah.
Adam, you've mentioned that people at your church
listen, but I'm not hearing any donations from
them.
So please call them out as douchebags.
Douchebags.
Did you think you were going to get
me upset, Brunetti?
Good try.
Good try, Hollywood boy.
Happy anniversary.
18th anniversary, boys.
You're finally legal.
Okay.
I have to get back to plowing fields.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
That was a reference to something I said.
Yes, but thank you, Dana Brunetti.
It's good to know that you're still listening.
I know that we keep you sane in
that insane world that you travel in.
So he buys this ranch, which is big,
by the way.
Of course it is.
And there's gold on the ranch.
Gold!
And so he's got this gold mining gear,
and he's already collected enough gold to make
a couple of solid gold rings.
A couple of movies.
Well, a couple of movies, no, not yet.
But it's like, this is typical.
Some people have this kind of Gladstone Gander
style of, you know, just buy a ranch,
got gold on it, you can pay for
the ranch.
Yeah, someone approached me the other day about
doing a movie of my life, and I
thought, no, Brunetti should do that.
We should do it like the kid stays
in the picture, you know, I'll do the
voiceover, and Ken Burns effects, and there's tons
of footage and photos out there.
That's what, I mean, there you go.
That's what you should do with his gold,
is make a movie about me.
And yes.
That's gonna happen.
And yes.
And get Scorsese to do the movie.
There you go.
Congratulations to these executive producers of 1812.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
Shut up, Steve.
Oh, I almost forgot.
We have this one producer who is just
adamant, adamant, adamant.
It's 1812, 1812.
It's an important episode.
It's a very important number because of Tchaikovsky's
1812.
I never realized this was Tchaikovsky's 1812, but
I'm sure you knew it.
Yeah, I did, but it was the cannons.
The cannons.
Oh, there they are.
There it is.
It's almost over, Paul.
That was, that's loud.
There they are.
It's a very, right, when it's performed, the
idea is that the cannons usually are there
on stage.
Yeah.
It really becomes very damaging.
Here we go.
Is this what they do on the 4th
of July at fireworks?
Yeah, it's a fireworks song.
Yeah, here we go.
Big finish, everybody.
Man, that guy had some good drugs.
How do you write something like that?
Those days are over.
AI, make that for me.
Show me that.
That's good.
That's very good.
Well, I suppose if you put all the
classical music ever written into the corpus...
You think?
Well...
You might be able to get something out
of it.
Speaking of that...
Who's doing that?
Is somebody doing that?
Somebody has to be doing that.
I'm sure it's in Suno.
There's so much classical music that you can
put in there.
Did you see the Grokkopedia?
The Grokkopedia?
I've seen the announcements for it.
I've seen the write-ups about it.
I have not actually gone to it.
As far as I'm concerned, Grokkopedia is just
Grok.
No, no, no, no.
It's quite interesting.
So if you look up Noah Jenda, or
you look up John C.
Dvorak or Adam Curry, it's so extensive.
I mean, the corpus has so much about
you, me, the show.
I mean, it's thousands of words.
And what's interesting about it, it has a
lot of obscure things.
But in every single version of everything I
looked up, there's some things that factually are
just completely wrong.
Yeah, absolutely.
They have to be.
Completely wrong.
But it's not even that bothersome.
It's like, wow, that's a nice write-up.
I had quite a life.
I can die now.
It's been nice knowing you.
Well, I did pretty good there.
Oh, I didn't know I did that.
That's great.
I did pretty good.
Brunetti, turn my Grokkopedia into a movie.
You can do it.
It's amazing.
Here's something we predicted we would have.
Actually, we didn't predict it.
One of our producers predicted it.
Get ready for discovery.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the
makers of Tylenol over claims the company deceptively
marketed the medication.
The lawsuit claims the over-the-counter medication
was marketed to pregnant women, despite alleged links
to autism in other disorders.
This is the first lawsuit launched by the
state since President Donald Trump claimed last month
that taking Tylenol while pregnant is linked to
an increased risk of autism.
However, there's limited evidence to suggest an association.
Johnson & Johnson sold the drug for decades
and its Consumer Health Division spinoff, Kenview, has
been selling that drug since 2023.
Kenview pushed back against the claims, calling it
misinformation.
I think this is the setup, man.
This is the setup.
This is where Tylenol comes in.
They say, you know what?
You say it's us, but it's the vaccine
companies.
I think...
That's an interesting theory.
I think it's coming.
Vic Paxton...
I like the way Johnson & Johnson seemed
to have predicted this somewhere along the line
and dumped the product.
Yeah, into a spinoff.
It's like what Monsanto did with Roundup.
Yep.
Which they panned off to Bayer.
Yeah.
And now they've changed the formulation of Roundup.
And what's in Roundup now is worse.
Oh, well, that might explain this clip.
This morning, a troubling investigation by the Washington
Post finds cancer rates among young adults are
rising fastest in the nation's Corn Belt, raising
concerns that farm pollution could be to blame.
Since 2015, America's top corn-producing states, Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas, have all
seen an uptick in cancer cases among people
ages 15 to 49, particularly kidney and skin
cancers.
But Iowa stands out with the fastest increase
in the country.
Experts say the state is a hotspot for
cancer-causing agents.
The nitrate levels in the Raccoon River are
twice that of the EPA limit.
I don't think it's quite right that we
have no regulations on how much fertilizer can
be dumped in our watershed upstream.
Studies show nitrate pollution from farming and livestock
operations is contaminating Iowa's water and long-term
exposure to fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides has been
linked to higher cancer risks.
Environmental groups are now urging the state to
strengthen its water standards.
Agricultural groups worry additional rules for farmers would
be costly and could cripple the industry.
For now, researchers say they're determined to find
out if chemical runoff from farms is in
fact what's making people sick.
We really need you to compare to bordering
states and states that have similar exposures, specifically
thinking about agriculture or industry.
Experts say better detection tools make it easier
to diagnose cancer, but that alone doesn't explain
why rates are rising so sharply.
It's the corn.
It's in the corn.
It's that roundup on the corn.
You'd think.
There's definitely something they're spraying.
Hey, I got a note.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out
what's causing this.
You just have to know what is being
sold.
Exactly.
But they seem to be baffled.
I got a note.
Oh, it's the nitrate runoff.
They've always had nitrate runoff.
It's never going to be no nitrate runoff.
It can't be that.
It's something else.
I got a note from Mark from the
Walnut Grove podcast.
Remember the Walnut Grove podcast?
Yeah.
That's about Little House on the Prairie.
It's a fan podcast.
It's a fan cast.
Please don't email me.
Everyone's like, oh, you love it too?
I love Little House on the Prairie.
God.
And he said, you know, he bought us
a domain name.
This hasn't happened in quite a while.
People used to buy us domain names all
the time.
Yeah.
We had seanhannity.com at one time, but
then the producer said, oh, I let it
expire.
It was so good to have seanhannity.com.
He says with MS Now's imminent MS Now,
he bought us msnowflake.com or msnowflake.com,
which I thought was very creative.
It's cute.
Yeah.
So thank you, Mark, from the Walnut Grove
podcast.
Very nice.
Let me get my clip list out.
Oh, I do.
You know, we had a, there was a
quite a big hurricane that hit Jamaica.
Yeah, I have the Melissa update here, but
this is after it hit Jamaica.
I have an update from after as well.
So I'll listen to yours first.
Hurricane Melissa struck eastern Cuba this morning as
an extremely dangerous category three storm causing severe
damage.
Cuban authorities report that over 700,000 people
have been evacuated in the eastern part of
the country.
By Wednesday evening, Melissa had weakened to a
category two and moved into the Atlantic heading
toward the Bahamas with heavy rain and flooding
expected.
Tropical storm warnings for the Turks and Caicos.
The most dangerous conditions will be in the
next few hours here as the center of
Melissa moves through the Bahamas.
Storm surge inundation of four to seven feet
above ground level near and to the right
of where the center of Melissa is moving.
Though winds have decreased, officials say dangerous storm
surges and rainfall remain a threat as Melissa
moves toward the Bahamas and Bermuda.
At least 36 deaths have been reported across
Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
In Jamaica, the storm knocked out power to
more than 600,000 residents, uprooted trees, ripped
off roofs and blocked roads in several parishes.
One resident shared the terrifying experience as Melissa
passed.
Worst experience of my entire life.
Um, to see my place being flooded out,
it's it was terrifying for me and my
child.
The water level reached me to my waist.
I was stuck in my house.
They had to break into my home to
save me.
Rebuilding in Jamaica will be a long term
effort, officials say, as homes, hospitals and infrastructure
were heavily damaged and access remains challenging.
UN officials report that immediate relief efforts are
underway, focusing on providing food, water and other
essential supplies.
So I've been going to Jamaica on vacation
for over 30.
Yeah, over 30 years.
I've never been to Jamaica.
Oh, I've done document.
There's a documentary of me in Jamaica.
People on the West Coast, we don't go
there.
Well, the last time I went was just
a couple of years ago.
They had a direct flight from Austin to
Montego Bay.
It was fantastic.
And of course, they got rid of that
flight, which is only three hours, like three
and a half hours.
It's perfect.
But the thing with Jamaica is, and I
would pretty much always go to this.
I don't think I've ever been to a
different place, always the same place.
And the last time we went there, people
who I'd seen 25 years ago were still
there.
So I consider them to be friends, you
know, like, hey, David, how you doing?
So I checked in before the storm hit.
I said, hey, man, we're praying for you
guys.
Hope everything's OK.
So here's the boots on the ground from
Jamaica.
Mr. Corey, I'm alive.
I'm alive.
I made it.
But houses are gone.
We are out of houses and everything.
So Corey, it's serious.
It's devastated.
I'm telling you.
I don't know what we're going to do.
We have no idea what, you know.
But as long as we have life, we
will make it.
I have to come miles to get some
internet.
So whenever I can get in touch with
you again, I will try.
All right.
Take care.
Thank you for thinking about me and my
family.
Appreciate it.
Sounds pretty dire.
Pretty bad.
Well, you know what the Democrats say?
What do the Democrats say?
It's all the fault of Trump and because
he killed USAID.
Oh, there it is.
Yes, of course.
That makes sense.
Word of the year, according to dictionary.com.
They have a word of the year, too.
Everybody has a word of the year.
This is really disappointing.
6-7.
Oh, no, that's not true.
Yes, yes.
Well, that's lame.
Of course it's lame.
Dictionary.com has officially revealed its newest word
of the year.
6-7 is the word of the year.
Got a note from one of our producers.
I'd like to give a quick homeschooling commentary,
says Garbage Man Mitch, on the 67 phenomenon.
Homeschooled kids that are not overly socialized with
access to phones and social media don't suffer
from this stupidity.
Yet.
I'd like to give a loving shout out
to our principal, my wife, Melissa, who is
very pregnant with human resource number six.
She is cripplingly nauseous and miserable, so the
older kids have been forced to step up
and help more.
The other day, our oldest, nearly 12, was
tasked with making soup entirely unaided.
There were mishaps as she sauteed vegetables and
simmered bacon.
The potatoes were crunchy.
I have no doubt she'll compare techniques and
recipes with grandma, great grandma, and her mother
when she can think of food again.
I suggest homeschooling accreditation as a future fundraiser.
Seems to me that if you can award
doctorates, then you are more than qualified to
accredit our schools.
The family that learns and know agendas together
triumphs and stays together.
Well, there's a thought.
That's an interesting idea for a promotion.
I like that thought.
Homeschooling.
Well, of course, I mean, everyone who listens
to the show might want to be a
commodore.
Everyone who listens to the show might want
to have a rando PhD, but not everybody
who listens to the show are homeschoolers.
That's a very small portion of people, but
it might be just enough to do a
short promotion sometime early next year.
OK, that garbage man, Mitch.
We love you.
Great idea.
Excellent idea.
And even if you're not a homeschooler might
be pretty cool just to have one.
Hey, the trial is finally happening.
Will we find out?
Is there a roving bit in the middle?
After years of online attacks and malicious rumors,
10 people are on trial for sexy cyber
harassment against French First Lady Brigitte Macron.
Eight men and two women are accused of
making false online claims about Brigitte Macron's sexual
and gender identity and suggesting that her 24
year age gap with her husband, Emmanuel Macron,
made her a pedophile.
If convicted, the defendants aged from 41 to
60 years old each face up to two
years in prison.
Among them is Aurelien Poisson Atlan, a publicist
known online as Zoé Sagan.
Before his account was suspended, he was popular
within conspiracy theory circles on X.
The first lady has since taken the case
to the country's highest appeals court.
The French case is separate from a defamation
lawsuit that the presidential couple filed in a
Delaware court against the far-right podcaster Candice
Owens, making similar unsubstantiated claims about Brigitte Macron.
Owens produced series titled Becoming Brigitte, obsessing over
the first lady's gender.
The Macron's say that they plan to present
scientific and photographic evidence to prove that the
first lady is biologically a woman.
Scientific and photographic evidence.
I find it fascinating that certain people, and
I would put Big Mike in this category,
are targets of this sort of, it's a
smear campaign, whether she's a male or not.
It's a smear campaign of some sort, and
it's very interesting how it catches on, because
you could probably say the same.
I mean, I think that Spanberger, whatever her
name is, she looks like a dude to
me.
The one running for governor of Virginia.
You need to move to Fredericksburg with that
talk.
Everybody's a dude, according to the people here.
Taylor Swift is a dude.
Taylor Swift's a dude.
Another dude.
Barbara Bush was a dude.
Over and over again.
Yeah, I think there's some, but it's like,
why do some of them, why do some
of these assertions catch on and other ones
don't?
Well, do you have any theories?
No, I have no theories on this.
I think because it's just funny.
It's funny.
Well, it is.
There's something funny about it.
Yeah, it's funny.
But it's like, I think there has to
be something about the person who's being targeted
that is at some level someone that's easy
to dislike.
Now, people love Michelle Obama.
Not everybody.
And I think she might be easy to
dislike.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, they said the same about
Barack.
Well, with Barack Obama, see, he never...
Well, maybe it's more of an insult to
the guy.
Maybe the target is really Barack and Macron
himself.
So it's an insult to them.
Well, Barack, I mean, man, but I think
that was, you know...
I mean, there's a lot of stuff about
him being gay.
I mean, that seems to be pretty much
true.
And because of that...
Well, we don't know that.
But yet, Larry...
What was his name?
Yeah, Larry, Larry.
He's dead now.
I think he died.
Larry Sinclair, who detailed it very...
And Love Boy or whatever his name was.
He was actually working in the White House.
Remember that guy?
What was his name?
Love Boy.
It was like a lover.
No, no.
His last name was Love.
It was...
Yeah, it was Love.
And he's a little, very feminine black man.
Yes, yes.
Well, he wasn't little.
He was a big dude.
He wasn't a small...
Oh, I thought he was a little petite
male.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I mean, why does it stick?
Because we're obsessed with nonsense.
How about that?
We are.
Because that's just...
That's true.
We're obsessed with nonsense.
That's just who we are as a people.
We're Americans.
That's what we do.
We go crazy.
Well, it'll be interesting to see how Candace
Owens' lawsuit goes.
I don't know why she's on that kick.
Well, I disagree with the report.
It was not unsubstantiated.
She had a lot of substance to her
reporting.
A lot.
Recently, that little bit came out about her
name being registered as Jean-Michel.
Unless she pulls down her pants in court,
it'll never be resolved.
So let's go back to the food stamp
issue.
Okay, is this your last bit?
I want to play this clip because this
is an interesting clip.
This is a Florida, this is a fraud
clip, which is a WTF clip of sorts.
Blocked it.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm fumbling my cues.
Walked in one by one.
Some hung their heads.
Others wore their feelings right there on their
T-shirts.
Today, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office announced an
undercover operation they've been working on for months
resulted in more than 100 arrest warrants and
close to 40 arrests.
This is a huge problem.
And we're like one of maybe three or
four law enforcement agencies in the state of
Florida that have decided to do something about
this.
And it has to do with just that.
Meal tickets in the form of EBT cards
for low-income individuals being fraudulently used.
One part of the investigation centered around Gerald
Millis, a local restaurant owner who police say
purchased EBT cards from people for 50 to
60 cents on the dollar and then stocked
his local Pizza Pros restaurant with food he
bought using those cards.
We were able to determine that he used
53 different EBT cards at Sam's Club.
Police say 55 people were also caught illegally
selling their EBT cards to undercover detectives.
A couple of them said, I'm headed to
go get some rock cocaine.
A beyond frustrating reality for taxpayers who today
learned their hard-earned money is being misused.
Yeah, all kinds of social security has always
been controversial.
Yeah, this whole thing's...
But what's interesting about this clip is this
clip is from 2013.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, oh yeah.
And I looked into this Manatee County stuff.
They did this same staying operation in 2012.
They did it in 2013 and I can't
find any evidence of them ever doing it
again.
Something changed.
And I think they were...
Somebody came up to them and said, you
got to stop doing this.
These cards are used...
Yes, people are buying crack with them and
whatever.
This is what we want.
Well, how about this?
Um...
When...
Because in the...
I think the one big beautiful bill, I
believe that there has been a slash of
SNAP benefits, particularly qualification, which the states have
to do just like the Medicare benefits.
It's like, hey, we got to clamp down
on this.
There's a lot of fraud going on.
We got to figure this out.
But it is my suspicion that the big
box stores like Walmart, Target and others, who
also sell food, that their prices are just
like insurance, that they're kind of artificially inflated
because of this money, just the way like
tuition.
Now, once we got student loans handled by
the government, tuitions went through the roof.
Once we got Obamacare, which has subsidies for
health insurance, insurance goes through the roof.
You have this prolonged EBT, SNAP, which is
going directly into mainly Walmart big box stores.
It may actually artificially have inflated the price
and it may become a problem for them.
Does that make any sense?
Well, I don't know if the prices are
higher at Walmart, but the fact that the
stores are the target, in fact, the people
complaining about losing their SNAP benefits are all
mentioning they're going to rob from Walmart with
very few exceptions.
It's always Walmart that's the target of the
robbery and Walmart's taking action, which we mentioned
earlier in the show.
It's possible that there's some collusion going on,
but it seems to me that, and maybe
if it wasn't for these cars, Walmart wouldn't
even be in business.
That's always possible.
And there are examples of people who've talked
about this one woman who was on, I
don't have the clip.
I get too many of these clips, you
get irked.
Some woman complaining and she's...
A lot of these women are bragging about
how they're using this system.
And one of them says, I bought a
rice cooker using the EBT card, which I
think is actually not a bad idea.
But at the same time, it's supposed to
be for food only, but she managed to
do it and she did it through either
Walmart or Costco.
I'll bet it's Target, because Target started selling
food, which I always thought was strange.
Target didn't use to sell food.
Now they have a whole grocery division.
That's true.
That's an interesting point and you're right.
And Target's never to me seem like a
food store.
And every single time I've been in a
Target, it's empty.
I've never seen it except on Black Friday,
but I don't go, I don't know Black
Friday, but it always seems empty to me.
I'm like, how do these people stay in
business?
Never seems busy.
There's something fishy about it.
We're on the case.
Your no agenda detectives are on the case.
Yeah, we won't figure it out either.
But the fact that they had this scam
and this reports from 2013 and there's nothing
since, and it could have been, obviously this
is the way you go.
You're some poor guy and you got a
card that you get somehow and you can
sell it for 50 cents on the dollar
and have some cash, which is king by
the way.
It just has to be going on everywhere.
Give me one last clip, Johnny boy, and
then we'll get out of here.
We got a lot of fun stuff to
do.
We've got peace prizes to hand out.
We've got great AI end of show mixes
except for Oystein Berger, who is the real
deal.
He's the real deal.
Just like you, by the way.
He's the real deal.
And of course your tip of the day.
And the first time I'll be reading the
donor's $50 and above, I'm very excited about
my new task.
Well, let's just go to shutdown blather on
NTD.
The Republican leadership thanked essential workers who are
still on the job without pay.
They pointed out that the largest union of
federal workers, as well as the National Association
of Air Traffic Controllers, have come out this
week urging Democrats to pass the short-term
funding bill.
Meanwhile, Democratic leadership is accusing Republicans of refusing
affordable healthcare for Americans.
They say Republicans, including President Trump, should come
to the negotiating table on healthcare.
Oops, I have a request from our air
traffic controller producers.
We have a lot of them, which I
always love that.
I've never actually spoken to one on the
radio, at least not one that's going, hey,
hey, in the morning to you.
They do that with each other and other
pilots.
ITM they say.
ITM, yeah.
We were supposed to go on vacation for
five days in three weeks from now, just
before Thanksgiving with some friends of ours.
And the women folk are very worried that
we will not be able to return or
that there may be an issue with flights
or that it's just going to be basically
a nightmare.
Yeah, I think they're probably correct.
So there's consideration of canceling said vacation, which
I'm okay with.
I mean, I'm happy.
You can always go on a vacation.
You can always take a vacation.
You can always, yeah, I mean, we're podcasters.
We can do whatever we want.
You can take a vacation whenever you want.
We can do a vacation whenever we feel
like it.
I'd like to know what our ATC producers
are feeling.
Like, will there be a real, I mean,
I'm seeing news reports, but you know, who
knows?
So let me know.
Let me know what you think.
I think it's technically illegal for ATC to
not show up for work, but there's sick
days and there's all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, they can take, they have time out.
When you work for the government, you always
build up a lot of free time.
And they deserve it, by the way.
They deserve it because it's a tough job.
It's a challenging job.
In fact, I'm too old to be an
air traffic controller.
I found out.
And I'm like, yeah, I'll step in.
I can talk on the radio.
I can step in.
Come on, November Delta.
Hey, 4147, you got a bogey on your
left.
Bogey.
That would be legendary.
You got a bogey at three o'clock.
Hey, here's the rest of the people who
supported us for show.
18, 12, $50 and above.
We kick it off with Sir Horatio.
Hey, there he is.
He's in London and he's still allowed to
listen to this show.
That's amazing.
$180.
What about Dame Janet?
You just skipped right over her.
This is new to me.
This is a whole new thing.
It's very difficult.
Dame Janet and Sir Jeff, I'm sorry, from
Watkinsville, Georgia.
$180.
This is a leftover from our 18th anniversary.
Happy 18th year.
Now you can vote.
Thank you very much.
That's Dame Janet, Sir Jeff, aka Island Dog.
There's Sir Horatio.
I was excited because we got someone from
the UK and he's listened to the GSC
and NOAA Agenda most of the last 18
years.

Wandsworth.

Ah, there he is.
I've donated $18.12. Small jingler plus.
Just play Tchaikovsky's $18.12 Overture.
It's only about 15 minutes and change.
Ah, so this is why he sent me
the big finale.
Thank you.
Round table requests change up.
Rentboys and Riesling.
All right.
We know what you're into, James Kashin II.

II, Knight of the Orange Lambda.
You got it.
Happy 1812.

I don't think so.
He says $6.7, $70.61, $6.7.
Congratulations on the 18th.
Sir Valen of Lincoln, Kayaud, from Lincoln, another
Brit.
Gents, this Halloween will mark my 15th lap
around the sun.
Please accept my donation of $6.7 plus
fees.
These are $6.7s. It's better not to
do the fees in that case.
I mean, it costs us money, but then
it's not as funny if I don't catch
it.
John Alberini with a $6.7 plus fees.
Tyler Darrington, Las Vegas, Nevada, $6.7, $6

Here is the Meetup Report from Berlin, Deutschland.
Hello, John.
Hello, Adam.
Tal from Berlin here.
We have five people, including me, who showed
up for this Berlin Meetup.
Went much better than the last time around.
Really lovely people.
We've had all sorts of interesting, engaging conversation.
We've already started a signal group where we'll
spam each other, I'm sure.
And I'll pass it along.
Be kind to one another.
And happy birthday.
In the morning.
In the morning, Adam and John.
He's Augusto de Britalian, also Secretary General of
Sao Paulo.
And I'm happy to meet awake people that
are here like in the zombie land of
Berlin.
So yeah, that's it.
In the morning.
All right.
You forgot to add your server.
That would have been fun to hear a
German server.
But we'll let you slide on that one.
I'm glad that there's five people there.
And, you know, let us know what you
think of Naomi.
That would be good to know.
Somehow, this one got lost.
This is the 68th meetup of the Flight
of the No Agendas.
Leo Bravo, diligently hosting these meetups in Los
Angeles.
Hi, everybody.
It's Leo Bravo.
I'm here with the crew.
I'm passing the phone around for, you know,
their greetings.
Hey, John and Adam.
Sir Liam Kimphopop.
Please be nice to each other.
Hey, guys, this is Slick Rick.
More trains.
In the morning.
Trains good, planes bad.
This is Lady Chanaka of California, the Peaberry.
Stephen Crowder is one of the goats.
Changed my mind.
In the morning.
Yeah, Leo Bravo always packs them in, man.
There's a lot of producers in Los Angeles.
I always appreciate that.
That's nice.
We have a couple of meetups taking place.
One today, actually, the North Georgia Now quarterly

at Cherry Street Brewing.
Tomorrow, the seventh amygdala checkup in Leiden, the

Anybody Out There meetup, two o'clock at
Ska Brewery in Durango, Colorado.
And also on Sunday, the Indy NA tri
-state short and long barrel safety meetup.
Two o'clock.
This sounds like the long, short and long.
Are they going to do some shooting over
there?
I'm sure we'll get a report from Day
Manette.
Of course, Day Maria and Sir Mark of
the Greenwood who are organizing that.
Plenty of meetups still to come in November,
including international ones such as Zurich, Switzerland and
what?
No Netherlands anymore.

Noagentomeetups.com.
Easy and always a partay.
Stay tuned for some dynamite in the show
mixes soon to be featured on our on
our stream.
I haven't really gotten a good name for
the stream yet.
Here's some, I got some examples here.
One will come.
I got V for V, value for vibes,
generation jams.
I think J1000.
Do we, let me check.
Hold on, I think I gave that one
up.
Well, it was a .fm, it's expensive.
The .fms are like a hundred bucks.
J1000, oh, I have, oh, do I still
have it?
No, I don't.
I don't.
K1, that's not really a good name.
You know, if there's something we had, the
music matrix, No Agenda Beats, the best music
in the year.
No Agenda Beats should be a recipe.
Hey, before we get to that, we do
have John's tip of the day and a
couple of ISOs.
I see you only brought one to the,
to the party today.
Yeah, I brought one.
I have four, so I'll play mine and
we'll see what you came up with.
Here's my first one.
It was a huge success.
Here's the next one.
It's just totally freaky.
Okay, and this one?
This isn't real.
This cannot be real.
Kind of like that one.
It's cute.
And then.
These people are deeply, deeply weird.
Come on, man.
Come on.
That's a good one.
No, that's no good.
It's just disparaging.
I don't think that's good.
Disparaging for the show.
All right.
What do you have?
I got the classic.
Okay, here we go.
Yep.
The show is too long.
And of course, that is the winner.
But before we get to the long part,
here's John's tip of the day.
Yeah, the show is too long.
Okay, this is a very interesting tip.
This and anyone who adopts this process and
starts using these things will forever use them.
That's the way to go.
It's called.
And there's a couple brands, but the one
I'm going to cite is the WAGO, W
-A-G-O.
And I'm talking about the WAGO lever nuts.
Lever nuts?
Which is also called a WAGO lever connector.
And these are little devices that you know
how when you splice wires, you tend to
take the two wires.
You got two wires.
You want to slice them together.
You put them against each other and you
twist and twist and turn them around.
Then you put some electrical tape around it
and you've got your wires.
Wait, don't you have one of those orange
things you twist on top of it?
You could, but it's nothing compared to these
little orange things, which are you open the
levers, you stick a wire in one side,
a wire in the other, flip the levers
down.
The thing's solid, rock solid.
It's one of the greatest little, for anyone
who works with wiring, and is not a
pro, and you don't want to solder the
wires.
This is the way to go.
It's a very interesting product.
A very good product.
Now, what are they called again?
The lever nuts?
W-A-G-O lever nut.
Lever nuts.
I want to take a look at this
product.
WAGO lever nut series 220.
Oh, okay.
And now, when have you recently been putting
wires together?
When you have a fixture in the ceiling,
this is the perfect time to use them,
because once you use, because you got wires,
you got to deal with over your head
and the ceiling.
No, no, no.
You want these things.
Oh, this is good.
Oh, wow.
They even have the 221 series for hazardous
locations.
And the thing is that these things are
also built like little Legos, so they can
click together.
That is what I would call an outstanding
tip of the day.
Gentlemen, find them all at tipoftheday.net.
Good tip, John.
Good tip.
Tipoftheday.net is turning out to be quite
the resource for people who like stuff.
You like stuff, go there.
And I'm on my second bottle of Robert
Mondavi, and I'm loving it.
Another fantastic tip of the day.
It's all good.
I love it.
You're not drinking during the show.
No, I'm not, but it's about to start.
And I'll start during Planet Rage as Darren
O'Neill and Larry with the deep voice
pick up the No Agenda pieces and rage
out together.
It's good.
It's up next on noagendastream.com End of
show mixes.
Sir Joe Ho, we've got Clip Custodian Neil
Jones, Oystein Berger with a classic and original,
and Bri bringing you a kind of a
mix of a little bit of Halloween-type
vibes.
And I'm coming to you from the heart
of the Texas Hill Country where everybody's a
dude.
Fredericksburg.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, going to remind
everybody the next show, we have a time
change.
We're going back to regular standard time.
I'm John C.
DeMora.
That's right.
Listen up, Europeans.
Remember us at noagendadonations.com until Sunday.
Adios, mofos.
Hui, hui.
And such.
Both Bill and I are deeply concerned.
We're deeply concerned.
Deeply concerning reports.
Reports are coming in.
They might be true.
They might be trending.
We're deeply concerned.
Experts are uncertain.
But the concern is never ending.
We're all deeply concerned.
Deeply concerned.
It's deeply concerning.
As an American, we're deeply concerned with the
direction of our nation.
Deeply concerned.
We've reached out for comment.
I'm deeply concerned about the ethical implication.
We've reviewed the footage.
Still concerned.
Calling it deeply concerning.
Deeply concerned.
But I was so deeply concerned about what
a Trump presidency might look like.
It's deeply concerning.
But I'm deeply concerned.
Why the masks?
Down on my face, face, face, face.
Two different dudes and then there's the guy
with the mask.
Or they all have masks, I don't know.
People have a hard time believing it, but
the mask thing is real.
I mean, there's real masks that will fool
you.
I got to hand it to you, kids.
Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. Not real.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Not real!
Madam Vice President Kamala Harris.
She's not real!
Senator J.D. Vance.
You're not real!
California Democrat Adam Schiff.
Not real!
The mask thing is real.
I just woke up from a scare.
Yes, it was a real nightmare.
Bombs dropping down everywhere.
Demonstrations were run by George Soros.
Politicians were crooked and hollow.
And every song on the radio were made
by AI.
Made by AI.
When the wars are ending, I'm gonna send
a text to you.
So get in the troll room, because our
time for fun is not through.
Let us log on just for a while.
And troll with a smile.
When the wars are ending, I'm gonna send
a text to you.
It's the witching hour and you should be
in bed.
The world is shut down, but you're working
instead.
When ink is dry, the wolves in the
capital are howling at the sky.
Our places with blood are our children.
With greetings for
your commercials on my show.
Spreading all
we keep our leg.
The best podcast in the
universe!
Adios, mofo.
Dvorak.org slash NA.
Yep, the show is too long.
