C. Dvorak. Sunday, August 18, 2024. This

0:08

is your award-winning Keep On Nation Media assassination

0:10

episode 1687. This

0:12

is no agenda. Stop

0:15

texting me and start broadcasting live

0:17

from the heart of the Texas

0:19

Hill Country here in FEMA Region

0:21

Number 6. In the morning

0:24

everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And I'm from Northern

0:26

Silicon Valley where I just got back from

0:28

a fabulous Mallard Club meetup.

0:30

I'm John C. Dvorak. This

0:33

is Craig Bonin Buzzkill. In the morning.

0:37

I am so sick

0:40

of these political text messages. And

0:44

I made a mistake weeks ago. It

0:47

always says, Type

0:49

Stop. You're mocking

0:52

me for having a landline and my

0:54

cell phone in the drawer. I

0:56

never mock you for that. I

0:59

think you're awesome for that. And

1:02

I don't have this issue.

1:04

Well, so the worst thing. Hold

1:06

on one more thing. For

1:09

my texting I use Google Voice.

1:12

Yes, on the web browser

1:14

I presume. Yeah, duh.

1:17

And that's what I do. I

1:20

use a web browser. So... Well,

1:24

let me just explain what's happening. Well,

1:27

I just want to mention that I never get these... Why

1:29

don't I get these on Google? Because

1:32

they know that you're a loser. They're

1:36

not interested in you. They're not interested if

1:38

you do that stuff. No, they don't care.

1:41

They don't care. They

1:44

have a regular phone number.

1:46

And somehow... It's a cell

1:48

phone we're talking about. Yeah, yeah. And

1:52

so I get in the database. And this

1:54

happens every four years. But this

1:56

year has been particularly bad. And it's high.

10:00

check facilities, companies around

10:02

the country. We can pretty much

10:04

assume that this is the largest data breach we've ever

10:06

seen around social security numbers in the history. I

10:08

mean, I was impacted by OPM, which was

10:10

the data breach around classified top secret folks

10:13

that are contractors or folks that were in the military.

10:15

I was part of that as well. Two things that

10:18

are really important to note is that, you know, social

10:20

security numbers in general are such a legacy piece

10:22

of data. We need to move to more of a

10:24

digital format and the government really needs to be pushing

10:27

for more digital ways of identifying individuals that are unique

10:29

to an individual. to

10:32

be a security mechanism. I mean, they're designing like the

10:34

fifties and forties. And I think

10:36

a lot of this has changed since then around

10:38

technology. So we need to do a better job

10:40

around social security numbers and how we actually protect

10:42

people's personal information. And that's what it's all about.

10:47

There's a federal class action lawsuit

10:49

against this company, which I don't

10:51

know what that means, exactly a

10:53

federal class action lawsuit. But

10:56

what? Yeah, yeah. It makes

10:58

no sense. Yeah. I

11:00

didn't have it in the clip. Literally

11:02

called a federal class action lawsuit. So

11:04

I guarantee you that we

11:06

are going to see someone who

11:09

has been, you know, through some

11:11

lobbying firm, no doubt, is going

11:13

to be touting that we need

11:15

to upgrade this outdated antiquated system

11:17

of using social security numbers as

11:19

a way to identify yourself. It's

11:23

obvious. What are you gonna, what do they, have

11:26

you looked into this? What are they proposing? Well, they

11:28

haven't, no, no, it's coming. They're

11:30

just getting started. That's why they have- It

11:32

doesn't make sense. What are they gonna do,

11:34

use a bigger number? No, they're going to

11:37

give us digital ID from the government. And

11:39

how come that can't be stolen? Of course

11:41

it can. It's easy. So the whole thing

11:43

is bull crap. No, no, this is a

11:45

government move. It's a government move.

11:48

It's obvious. I mean, you

11:50

hear what the guy says, oh, this is antiquated. We

11:52

should be doing something else. Of

11:55

course. They've been wanting this.

11:58

They want this. They

12:00

want us all to have some kind

12:03

of newfangled government ID just like Australia

12:05

launched They're doing it

12:07

now This is

12:09

this is unavoidable ID in a

12:11

sheep's clothing. Correct. Correct. That's exactly

12:13

what it is Real

12:16

ID, but then digital they want to

12:18

be digital and they want to tie your They

12:26

might they might So

12:30

Once I once I saw that guy come in. I'm

12:32

like, oh, okay. I get it. I Get

12:35

it. Everyone's running off to

12:38

the to freeze their credits. Believe

12:40

me. I hear I Am

12:43

all the ladies are going nuts on the text groups

12:48

There was there's a commercial on

12:50

TV that actually exploits this fear

12:54

Crocker stop Mike stop my credit card. Oh there

12:56

I found I found my card. It was in

12:58

my purse Oh, it's a cracker turn back on

13:00

turn it back on You've

13:03

seen this commercial. No, I haven't haven't yeah

13:06

Well, I mean the opt-out service is

13:08

just a temporary thing. I mean

13:10

and and That's

13:12

exactly the point is all of our

13:14

information is out in these databases. It's

13:17

amazing what they have on me everything

13:21

You know and the minute you buy a house

13:23

unless you and I I should have been smart

13:25

and put it into it You know, what is

13:27

it? It's like a term for it not

13:30

a Yeah You

13:33

can put it in escrow not escrow some other turn.

13:35

It's because we're just simple the money No, you can

13:37

put it into some kind of entity Probably

13:40

and I thought the thing is

13:43

these database because I look at these things all

13:45

the time a trust. That's right trust Thank you.

13:47

Yeah, you can do a trust is a pain

13:49

in the ass. So Look at these things you

13:51

look at these things and it's like you look

13:53

yourself up Yeah, and these these things are they

13:56

cross the cross referencing issues are in

13:59

a really problematic this is why you

14:01

get if you're recalling the people out

14:03

there who are longtime listeners I remember

14:05

Adam Curry getting pulled aside every time

14:08

he came in the country because of

14:10

a guy in I guess

14:12

it was North Dakota or Oklahoma, Oklahoma

14:14

and and he was also a pilot

14:17

and this was 2006

14:20

I think so it wasn't that long after

14:23

9-11 I lit I remember the one time

14:25

because it happened five six times in a

14:27

row And I recorded it once

14:29

yeah, and all the time I remember most

14:31

is when because of course this was me

14:33

video days pod show so I flew virgin

14:36

upper class Which

14:39

was great, I mean Richard Branson man, he

14:41

gave me bathrobes for Christmas those days are

14:43

over Oh long gone, and then I remember

14:45

when me via when I left me or

14:47

a cloak whatever it was It's

14:49

like all of a sudden the number

14:52

I had to call for reservations wouldn't answer

14:54

anymore I was

14:56

off the list very quickly. You don't have the

14:58

miles. You're no good, but one time

15:00

I was so I'm sitting in the front and They

15:04

say oh mr. Curry could you come to

15:06

the front when we landed at San Francisco?

15:09

and I went to the front and there's

15:12

two agents like oh hey and they recognized

15:14

me and I thought I Literally

15:16

thought they were giving me some special service

15:19

Like hey come with us, and I'm walking

15:21

hey This is really cool guys, and you

15:24

could see they were uncomfortable and embarrassed and

15:26

it turns out I was going into you

15:28

know special screening and they opened up my

15:30

suitcases and like what is going on and

15:33

then the one time I Said why

15:35

can't I get into the country? Well? You know there's

15:37

all kinds of issues and I wave my passport does

15:39

this not give me permission to come into my own

15:41

country? And then they they held me for another

15:45

Well after the fourth time And

15:49

then we complained about it endlessly on the

15:51

show and and we did we can played

15:53

endlessly on the show I think somebody finally

15:55

heard it yeah, and they ended it they

15:57

ended they ended the terror Yeah

16:00

It was a... Yeah, it

16:02

was ridiculous actually. It was, it was. But if

16:04

you look at your own databases and sometimes some

16:07

people have gotten... Somehow you can

16:09

manage to... Most of

16:11

these guys will kind of cloak

16:14

your stuff, your information if you tell them to.

16:16

They have to, I think by law. Yes, they

16:18

do. And so they will. They'll

16:20

take a lot of this information offline. But

16:23

there's too many. There's all these different companies

16:25

doing this. Yeah. And you start looking at

16:27

it and you start discovering that, well, that's

16:29

interesting. I own property in Covina. And

16:32

oh, well, that's funny. I seem to

16:35

be, I have money do me in

16:37

Covina. It's

16:39

in Covina. Or whatever.

16:42

I mean, there's just a, there's a lot

16:44

of, this is the problem with these databases

16:46

and there's a problem with dossier's. Yes. They

16:49

get you, it's like the time I got a call

16:51

from the IRS once. I

16:53

think I've told the story on the show. Well, tell it again. I

16:55

don't remember if we... It comes up, it

16:57

calls me, and there's not supposed to do this, by

16:59

the way, but they do it. And no matter what

17:01

they say, they do it because it's been done. And

17:04

so the guy from the IRS calls me, he

17:06

says, we're waiting, we're waiting for your payment. You

17:08

always says this amount of money. We don't understand

17:10

why you haven't gotten back a hold of us.

17:12

And he's reading me the riot act. And

17:15

I said, I don't know what you're talking about. And

17:17

he going, well, you got the, blah, blah, blah. I

17:19

said, wait a minute. What's

17:22

my social security number? Ah, good

17:25

one. And he

17:27

said, and he gives me a number. Yeah,

17:30

not your number. I said, that's

17:32

not my number. Where am

17:34

I supposed to be living? He says, you're in

17:36

Kansas City. I said, I'm

17:38

in Albany, California right now.

17:42

He says, oh, and because I know there's

17:44

a writer, this is funny, there's a writer

17:47

named John Dvorak that wrote for the Kansas

17:49

City Star in Kansas City.

17:51

And obviously, you didn't pay his taxes. And I

17:53

guess he owed the IRS taxes. By the way,

17:55

this should not be public information, but I guess

17:57

it is now that I mentioned it. And

18:00

so I said no, no, no,

18:02

I'm did you want the John

18:04

Dvorak? That's a writer for the Kansas City Star

18:08

Not me you got the wrong guy and

18:10

the guy went into a massive apology Well,

18:12

you know John if we just

18:15

had government ID none of this would

18:17

happen anymore. You'd be safe. You'd be

18:19

safe Yeah, well, I

18:21

have we have actually for this show

18:23

and personally we have other Numbers

18:26

that we use for the IRS. Yeah,

18:28

we're running numbers We don't

18:30

use our social security numbers anymore

18:33

because of we actually had

18:35

a issue Mimi had

18:37

a problem with somebody filing

18:40

a social a tax

18:42

return with our numbers and then getting a

18:44

bunch of money and now we have to

18:47

Literally hand the social our

18:50

tax filing. You don't have to do this. No,

18:52

no, I don't person Where

18:56

Mimi has to go into Silverdale and

18:58

she drops it off This

19:07

is the problem that everyone because of

19:09

this nonsense, yeah If

19:12

only we had some kind of digital Anything

19:15

and you know it and I know it you have

19:17

to have a secret number that nobody knows It will

19:20

give them so much more debt to connect to it

19:23

You see that's the point That

19:26

and and I'm sure it's Palantir or

19:28

some other company. It's going to surface

19:32

Just keep everybody keep your eyes open. There's gonna

19:34

be some company and some Congress

19:37

critter is going to say hey I

19:40

propose a bill and it will

19:42

be and it probably gonna be Elizabeth Warren. That'd

19:44

be senator, but it'll that would be ironic

19:48

Not at all. She can't do anything what

19:50

happened to Rachel. I mean, okay Rachel's gone.

19:52

I guess she got rid of her listen

19:55

Warren will say I've been on this for

19:57

10 years. No one has done

19:59

anything about it I have the final solution

20:01

now. It'll be Bose and one

20:03

of her other benefactors. Some

20:06

tech company is going to... It

20:09

was Bose last time with the hearing aids. Yeah,

20:11

Bose. Well, you know, the problem with Bose, I

20:13

will say this. Oh, here we go. Here we

20:15

go. Bose

20:17

is litigious. Oh,

20:19

are they now? Yeah, they're very...

20:21

And so there's something when you're a writer

20:23

in working in, especially trade magazines, like PC

20:26

Magazine. Don't say anything bad. Bose rocks. Okay,

20:28

go on. You would be...

20:30

There was a computer company. I

20:32

can't remember the name of them,

20:34

but everybody knew that

20:37

you would never... They would just never get

20:39

mentioned. What happens, you just stop mentioning them

20:42

as a player. They

20:45

are blackballed, blacklisted. And

20:47

you blacklist companies if you're a writer writing

20:50

about a product. Oh, oh, oh, oh. You

20:53

blacklist products. And Bose is one of them

20:55

because Bose sued... It's very

20:57

well known. And once this happened, Bose

21:00

was blacklisted for being discussed. They

21:03

sued consumer reports

21:06

of all people. Really? This

21:08

was years and years ago. Bose

21:11

had this weird speaker system that was at

21:13

the 902 or something. Somebody in the chat

21:15

room might remember it. It was... The

21:17

901. I'm looking at it. There's an actual

21:19

Wiki page about it. The Bose 901. The

21:22

review expressed skepticism of the system's

21:24

quality and recommended that consumers delay

21:27

purchase until they had investigated for

21:29

themselves whether the loudspeaker system's unusual

21:32

attributes would suit them. Yeah,

21:35

they were a... I

21:38

had been given a demo of that.

21:40

I thought they sounded good personally. But

21:43

they did have a kind of... They

21:45

didn't have a sound stage that was

21:47

easily defined for people who are audio

21:49

files. They know what I'm talking about. Where

21:51

the saxophone is right there. That stuff

21:53

would be floating around a little bit.

21:55

And so Bose sued them. And once

21:58

they did that, they got blacklisted. by

22:00

everybody who heard about this. I'll bet.

22:03

And by blackness, I mean, you just

22:05

wouldn't write about them. I'm not gonna

22:07

even compare. And the funny thing was,

22:09

they did make some tremendously good speakers,

22:11

not those necessarily, but other speakers that

22:13

were quite good, but they wouldn't get

22:15

no publicity. I will say their noise

22:18

canceling aviation headsets are pretty much standard

22:20

now. They are by far the

22:22

best. That could be. Everybody

22:24

loves them. They're probably

22:28

regretful that whoever the attorney was

22:30

that because suing consumer

22:32

reports is nuts. That's dumb.

22:36

That's very dumb. Especially over

22:38

something that you just read, which is just

22:40

minor. It's a minor complaint. Yeah.

22:45

That complaint basically was, check this out before

22:47

you buy it. Oh God. And

22:49

I remember back in the day when we had

22:51

our stereo towers. Remember

22:53

those stereo towers? I

22:56

still have a pair. All my

22:58

individual rack elements. Bose,

23:01

if you had Bose speakers, I mean, it wasn't

23:03

quite B&O, but oh,

23:05

you got Bose speakers. Oh, that's gonna be good. I

23:09

wonder if they really lost a lot of market share. I

23:11

think they did. They deserved it. That

23:14

was a bad idea. People out there

23:16

in manufacturing or doing products do not

23:19

be very careful about

23:21

suing reviewers. Especially consumer

23:23

reports. You'll never be reviewed again

23:25

ever. Consumer reports, which is- Consumer

23:27

reports of all of them. Consumer

23:31

reports, they're not, they

23:34

don't review everything. So there's a lot

23:37

of comparison reviews that they could do,

23:39

but they're as honest as they can

23:41

be. I'm going to move

23:43

to another scam,

23:45

another government scam. They

23:47

keep ramping it up. And

23:49

it's just funny to listen to. Dr.

23:52

John, I did wanna ask about a

23:54

breaking development. We're following the World Health

23:56

Organization has declared the current MPOCs outbreak

23:58

in Africa, a global health- Sweden

24:01

had the first reported case of the

24:03

strain outside of Africa. We had an

24:05

MPOCS outbreak. An MPEG, she said an

24:07

MPEG outbreak. We had an MPEG outbreak.

24:09

Yeah, we did have an MPEG outbreak.

24:11

It took place about 20 years ago.

24:13

We had an MPOCS outbreak here in

24:15

the US not long ago. So how

24:17

concerned should we be about this resurgence?

24:19

And at this point, it's gonna be

24:21

rare outside of that area there. Although

24:23

today, we were just notified that Sweden

24:25

has their first case of MPOCS. And

24:27

it's this clade one variant that's not

24:29

that they're talking about that tends to

24:31

be more contagious and more dangerous. It's

24:33

from somebody who had gone to Africa,

24:35

gotten it and brought it back to

24:37

Sweden. So it could spread globally. We

24:39

saw that in 2022. We

24:42

just need to be aware of that. And that

24:44

means doing the things that you need to stay

24:46

safe. And that's basically not touching anybody

24:48

that has MPOCS because it's a contact

24:50

related infection. And if you need to

24:52

get vaccinated because your high risk factors

24:54

get vaccinated. And just a reminder to

24:56

everybody, when we had this in 2022,

24:59

it was only men who have sex with men.

25:02

It wasn't gay men. It was men who have

25:04

sex with men. That was that

25:06

it was baffling. And men

25:08

who have sex with men stood in line

25:10

for hours to get their MPOCS vaccine. Remind

25:12

us again what this is, Dr. John. People

25:14

hear this and they go, uh oh, COVID.

25:16

Can you just remind us what MPOCS is?

25:18

What it entails? So MPOCS is a virus

25:20

that's very closely related to smallpox and the

25:23

chickenpox. And so it's very contagious. And unfortunately,

25:25

in this case, it can be deadly as

25:27

well. You can see the symptoms right there.

25:29

The biggest ones are the rash they get,

25:31

which looks like a chickenpox rash and those

25:33

swollen lymph nodes. When they get to that

25:35

stage, that's when they're infectious as a contact

25:37

infection. So if you touch them or touch

25:39

something they touched and maybe had gotten the

25:41

virus on, you can get it as well

25:43

that way. So it's interesting because this doesn't

25:45

really have the hallmarks. And what was great

25:47

about COVID is you couldn't see if someone

25:49

had it. And

25:52

that was the best. Yeah, you give

25:54

me asymptomatic transmission.

25:56

Asymptomatic transmission, which is

25:59

bullcrap. But that's what it

26:01

was. Yeah. So so it's nowhere near it.

26:03

But I can see where a lot of

26:05

people, the mask wares in the

26:07

cars, they'll be all monkey pox. Don't touch

26:09

me. Stay away. No, you know, you have

26:11

monkey pox. You go to the voting machine

26:13

and you touch your voting machine and you'll

26:15

pass it on. You don't want that. You

26:17

want to mail in voting, mail in voting.

26:20

Here's a professor in London. It is

26:22

inevitable that this strain of this

26:24

new strain of M-POCs. It's a

26:26

new strain of M-POCs. It's the Claude

26:29

one. That started off in... I'm sorry,

26:31

the clade ones, not Claude, but clade.

26:33

Yeah, it was Claude balls. M-POCs

26:36

that started off in 2024 from

26:39

the Democratic Republic of Congo. From

26:41

the Democratic Party, I thought she was

26:43

going to say. Wouldn't that have been

26:45

funny? Yeah, that's exactly right. That's off

26:47

in 2024 from the Democratic

26:50

Republic of Congo. But it's now spread

26:52

to at least nine neighbouring countries will

26:54

come to the UK because of international

26:56

trouble. That doesn't mean it will spread

26:59

widely within the UK. Why tell us?

27:01

Well, just listen, it's almost done. Because

27:03

in the UK, we have

27:05

the ability to diagnose and do contact

27:07

tracing and also to provide vaccination to

27:10

people who have been exposed. OK,

27:12

so we're hearing the same things

27:14

that we like with our pandemics,

27:16

contact tracing, testing. By

27:18

the way, the test

27:21

for M-POCs is PCR, so

27:23

everybody has it. The

27:25

declaration of a public health emergency

27:28

of international concern is helpful because

27:30

it allows the vaccine to be

27:32

emergency licensed in those countries. Oh,

27:35

it's helpful if you have one of those WHO

27:40

major concern classifications, because then you

27:42

can do vaccines under emergency use

27:44

authorization. No testing of the vaccine

27:46

needed. And

27:49

there has been some promises of donations

27:51

from stockpiles, both in Europe and the

27:53

US. Donations

27:56

of M-POCs? No

27:58

vaccines. Now

28:00

on German television, German television,

28:03

Dr. Wolfgang Wodag came

28:06

out, Ebsed, and it's

28:08

available in German, obviously.

28:11

He said, this is nonsense. It

28:14

says, I'll translate on the fly. This

28:16

is so absurd, even that doctors would

28:18

parrot this information and let themselves be

28:21

fooled because when there

28:23

are local boils on the body with

28:25

these monkey pox, they come with strong

28:27

pain. Well, my God, isn't that typical

28:29

of shingles as well? Diagnosing

28:32

they should at least ask themselves, what

28:34

is this monkey pox? Just

28:37

because of this test, this

28:40

PCR test, which

28:44

they are marketing, the monkey, the MPOCS test,

28:46

marketing for a lot of money. This

28:48

is just another one of these scams they're pushing. He

28:51

says, he says, wait for it,

28:53

he says, this is shingles as

28:55

a result of immune

28:57

system issues from

29:04

people who have been vaccinated with

29:06

the mRNA vaccine. Well,

29:10

I do have one more anecdote. So

29:13

a friend of mine and his wife, famous

29:18

guy, and his wife live up the hill,

29:21

both went and got the shingles vaccine. Her

29:23

name's Jack and Jill? Went

29:26

up the hill. They both

29:28

got the shingles vaccine and she,

29:30

within days, got shingles. Of course.

29:33

And so I was over visiting and then she showed

29:35

us. She showed it to him?

29:39

She got this huge rash, a painful rash

29:41

on her arm. And it's like,

29:43

it looks like hell. And I

29:45

said, you just, what? She

29:47

says, yeah, we just got the vaccine, we just

29:50

got vaccinated because the doctor told us we should

29:52

get shingles, which I've been told to. Oh, you

29:54

should get shingles vaccine, no. Oh yeah, they're telling

29:56

everybody to do that. Yeah, because

29:58

it's a money maker. Somebody said. This

30:00

is vague. There's somebody's getting bit. There's

30:03

kickbacks involved here. This has gone out

30:05

of control. This should be illegal for

30:07

vaccine companies or pharmaceutical companies to kick

30:10

back anything to doctors ever. It

30:13

should be a felony. But if you look at

30:15

some of the pictures online, they

30:17

show, now remember autoimmune blistering

30:20

disease was on the Pfizer

30:22

list of adverse events of

30:25

special interest for their mRNA vaccine. No.

30:27

That was in the Pfizer documents. Remember

30:29

the ones they wanted to lock down

30:31

for 72 years? 75,

30:33

yeah, 70 years or so. There's

30:36

no reason anyone should look at this. So

30:38

it's very possible. And now we're a

30:40

couple of years into it. And I

30:42

mean, we're seeing all kinds of amazing

30:44

things like prostate

30:48

cancer, particularly in

30:50

younger people. More

30:52

young people have cancer

30:55

than older people now.

30:57

And I'm not trying to scare

31:00

anybody, but for sure

31:02

don't get suckered into some

31:04

MPOCs vaccine. And shingle

31:06

sucks, but it's survivable.

31:10

You know, I don't know. They have very

31:12

small numbers of kids in Africa who

31:14

have died and, you know, none of them look at

31:16

that healthy. They don't look very healthy

31:18

to start with. But

31:21

I certainly would believe just

31:24

like they can't figure out, we can't figure

31:26

out these cancers. We have looked at everything

31:28

except for- We can't figure out there's all

31:30

of a sudden there's athletes dying on the

31:32

field. We can't. Well, that's always been going

31:34

on. Yeah, yeah. We can't figure it out.

31:36

It's just being reported more. Yeah, we can't

31:39

figure it out. And now

31:41

this, and to me, it looks

31:43

like shingles. I've seen shingles

31:46

and shingle shows up in different ways, but it's

31:48

all these very painful blisters. And the last thing

31:50

you want to do is scratch it. You know,

31:52

it just gets worse. It

31:55

makes my butt hurt thinking about it.

31:58

Now there's your opening right there. my butt

32:00

hurt thinking about. That's not gonna work. I'm

32:02

saving it. It won't be acceptable. I'm still

32:05

eye-sewing it for prostrarity. Yeah,

32:07

prostr- for prostrarity. I'm glad

32:09

you caught that. But

32:15

I would hate to think that they are lying to

32:17

us about this being

32:19

a side effect which was listed

32:21

in the documentation. That's an interesting- yeah

32:23

I forgot about that. Could

32:26

be. Listed in the documentation. Yeah.

32:31

All right. I'll just get us

32:33

started with some

32:35

very obvious media. Simple,

32:37

simple media deconstruction. Very,

32:39

very simple. And

32:42

why is it simple? Well, it's simple because

32:45

the media lies and is certainly

32:47

in the United States. But I

32:49

think in general most media comes

32:51

from a Marxist, propagandistic

32:54

background. Even

32:56

Fox News. Let's not kid ourselves about

32:59

it. And

33:01

I'm sure we'll get into the

33:06

economic report. Economic

33:09

suggestions. Economic ideas

33:12

from Democrat- a

33:14

parent's nominee Kamala Harris, or

33:17

is it Kamala, and she

33:19

rolls out an interesting extra tax

33:22

credit. Under my plan more than

33:24

100 million Americans will

33:26

get a tax cut. The

33:28

earned income tax credit. And

33:35

the child tax credit. For

33:43

which millions of Americans

33:45

with children got to keep more

33:47

of their hard-earned income. Got to.

33:49

Yeah. We know it works. So

33:52

as president, I'll not only restore that

33:54

tax cut, but expand it. We will

33:56

provide $6,000 in tax relief. to

34:00

families during the first year of a child's life.

34:03

That is a vital, vital

34:05

year of critical development

34:08

of a child. And

34:10

the cost can really add up,

34:12

especially for young parents. We will

34:15

do this while reducing the deficit.

34:17

So yeah, there is already a

34:19

child tax credit. I

34:21

believe it's $3,500 for the first year, $500

34:26

subsequent years. This is of

34:29

course exactly what J.D. Vance

34:31

proposed. He proposed $5,000

34:35

for the first year. And if you

34:37

recall, what they said right away is

34:39

he wants to punish people who don't

34:42

want to have children. And it was,

34:44

it was Molly Jung fast. And in

34:46

Louisiana, the daily advertiser reports that the

34:48

United States birth rate is down as

34:51

fewer adults want to have kids. I

34:53

should have clipped this closer. Hold on

34:56

a second. Some older adults say they

34:58

don't have kids due to medical reasons

35:00

or because they haven't found the right

35:02

partner. And Molly is the stats are

35:04

there more and more Americans choosing not

35:06

to have kids, which again, emphasizes why

35:08

J.D. Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless

35:10

Cal ladies could be so politically damaging.

35:12

Well, so what's interesting is this is

35:14

this natalism that comes from an authoritarian

35:16

playbook, right? That there need to be

35:18

more white children. So, so

35:21

when J.D. Vance proposes it, it's

35:23

more white children. Yeah,

35:26

it's natalism. Natalism. So

35:29

there's your phony baloney media.

35:32

It's unbelievable. Well, if we

35:34

hadn't been doing this for almost 17 years,

35:36

maybe, but for us, it's like, oh, that's

35:38

believable. Oh, there it is. I actually have

35:40

a, let's just stick on this Harris economic

35:42

plan for a moment. I have a couple

35:44

of clips. Tonight,

35:47

Vice President Kamala Harris, in her

35:49

first major policy speech, casting herself

35:51

as a champion of the middle

35:53

class. Building up the

35:55

middle class will be

35:57

a defining goal of my presence.

36:00

The nasality,

36:03

is that a word? Nasality. Very hard,

36:05

it's just adnoital. Yes, it is. Of

36:08

my presidency. Harris acknowledging that

36:10

even as inflation slows, middle

36:12

class families are still feeling

36:14

the pinch. The vice president,

36:16

she's been there. Pinch, a

36:18

pinch, a pinch. No,

36:21

it's a slap. Later in college,

36:23

I worked at McDonald's to earn spending

36:25

money. Well some of

36:27

the people I worked with were raising

36:29

families on that paycheck. I would love to meet

36:31

some of these people that you work with at

36:33

McDonald's during your college. Was that in

36:35

Ottawa? Was that in Canada? Where did she go to

36:38

college? No, no, that's

36:40

right. Now she was capital. Okay,

36:42

now she went to college at

36:44

historically black car university. They worked

36:46

second or even third jobs to

36:48

pay rent and buy food. That

36:51

only gets harder when the cost of

36:53

living goes up. Harris zeroing

36:56

in on pocketbook issues, proposing a

36:58

ban on corporate price gouging on

37:00

food and groceries. What

37:03

a beautiful gift to

37:05

the Republicans. I

37:07

mean, it's as if I didn't know

37:09

any better and maybe I do. This

37:11

is planned. Let's just

37:13

bring in price controls. Every

37:16

political historian in America knows that

37:18

it works. Every historian of

37:21

world politics. He knows that it works. You said he knows

37:23

that it works. He knows that it doesn't work. I'm sorry,

37:25

knows it doesn't work. Every

37:27

world historian knows that this

37:29

is the definition of socialist

37:31

price fixing. And it

37:34

usually results in food lines and

37:36

less choice if any food at all on the

37:38

show. You're not going to make

37:40

a product that loses money by government

37:43

edict. So you just stop making the

37:45

product. And stop putting it on shelves.

37:47

Up to $25,000 in down payment support

37:49

for first time homeowners. A tax credit

37:52

of up to $6,000 for families with

37:54

a newborn and capping the cost of

37:56

insulin at $35 and out of. pocket

38:00

expenses for prescription drugs at 2000. It

38:04

was really interesting to see the Washington Post

38:06

opinion. Harris's

38:11

economic plan is full of gimmicks that

38:13

don't make sense. Like whoa, did Obama

38:15

put in a call or something? And

38:19

you look at it and it's

38:21

like, you know, they're kind of

38:23

like, well, you know, yeah, the

38:26

president opted for blaming big

38:28

business and she vowed to go after

38:31

price gouging. But

38:33

it was so interesting that

38:35

the Washington Post is even crazier than

38:37

Kamala. They said here from this opinion

38:39

piece, which I don't think I saw

38:41

anyone pick up on, she offers clever

38:44

tax incentives to help make it happen.

38:46

But it proposed $25,000 in down payment

38:49

assistance for first time home buyers stimulates

38:51

the demand side, which risks putting upward

38:53

pressure on prices. I think that's correct.

38:55

That's the first thing I thought when

38:57

they when she suggested $25,000 that, well,

38:59

there goes a real

39:01

estate is going up. That's

39:04

just like when when Tesla got the seven and

39:06

a half thousand dollar incentive, everyone just put seven

39:08

and a half thousand dollars on top of the

39:10

Tesla price. That's exactly what happens.

39:12

Yeah, that's what you do. But then they go on.

39:15

Such a measure might make sense of Ms. Harris

39:17

paid for it. But Ms. Interesting,

39:20

isn't she married to Doug? Ms.

39:23

Harris paid for it by eliminating

39:26

other demand side housing subsidies such

39:28

as mortgage interest deduction. Are

39:31

they insane at the Washington Post? Now,

39:34

read that again. I don't know

39:36

what they said. Such a measure,

39:39

the $25,000 down payment might make

39:41

sense if Ms. Harris paid for

39:43

it by eliminating other demand side

39:45

housing subsidies such as the mortgage

39:47

interest deduction. Oh, my God, you're

39:49

right. The $30 billion

39:51

annual drain on federal revenue that benefits.

39:53

Oh, yeah. Yeah, go for that

39:56

and see how that gets your votes. Of course. So

39:59

I don't understand. what the

40:01

Washington Post is thinking here.

40:03

Well, that is a communist

40:05

statement. Correct. It's

40:07

the one thing that actually makes buying

40:09

a home kind of affordable, even though Trump

40:12

capped it at what is it,

40:14

10,000? Yeah, he capped it at

40:16

10, which was every, well, as

40:19

you know, on our show, we

40:21

had our famous accountant to the

40:23

rich and famous. Yes, the anonymous

40:25

gay accountant. Yeah, he

40:28

pointed out that, and I'll remind

40:30

everyone, that

40:32

when they were always, these rich guys were

40:34

all hearing about what the Democrats were saying,

40:37

which is, oh, these are tax cuts for

40:39

the rich. And then when they got their

40:41

tax bill, which went way up, because many

40:43

of them have. A million dollar, you know,

40:45

five million dollar mortgage. Because

40:47

they have these, because they

40:49

capped the mortgage at $10,000, the write off at $10,000,

40:56

it hurt the rich. The rich weren't

40:59

benefiting from the Trump tax cuts at

41:01

all because of this one little trick

41:03

that he pulled. So

41:05

the whole idea that the rich are benefiting

41:08

from Trump's tax cuts is

41:10

a blatant lie. Oh, I was going

41:12

to say specious. No,

41:15

no, it's different between specious

41:17

and a blatant lie. What

41:20

somebody really should go after,

41:22

but they're all too afraid,

41:25

is insurance companies. Home owner

41:27

insurance, I think ours went

41:30

up 35%. That hurts. That's

41:33

a gouge. It's because of

41:35

climate change, John. They

41:38

literally say, oh, no, I'm sorry. It's because of

41:40

climate change. And if you want to switch to

41:42

another cheaper insurance, you'll never get insured after that

41:44

again. Yes. And

41:47

now you have another story. It's story

41:49

time. Well, I have told this story probably twice on

41:51

the show. When I was taking driver's

41:53

education, so I can get out of a ticket,

41:55

you know, the three hour class. class.

42:00

So I took this class in Chinatown,

42:02

Oakland, because it was the cheapest and

42:04

this guy was giving us, he would

42:06

never talk about driver safety. He was

42:08

lecturing us about the sleazeball insurance companies.

42:11

And he's mentioned the fact that there's

42:13

a database that all the insurance companies

42:15

use. And if you start swapping from

42:17

one company to the next to the

42:19

next, after you do it, like you

42:22

just said, you do it once,

42:24

okay, you can do it once, you do it again,

42:26

you'll never get insurance. And he went on and showed

42:28

the evidence of him and he went on and on.

42:30

We went to lunch, I came back, the guy was

42:32

under arrest. Wow.

42:35

I don't remember that story. He

42:38

was under arrest. He was under arrest. That's great. And

42:40

they closed the class and sent us our money back.

42:43

Wow. I never found out what they arrested him

42:45

for. Probably hitting

42:47

up on some chickies. I

42:49

wasn't hitting up on anybody. The

42:51

whole thing was very suspicious. Here's the second

42:53

part of this ABC report. Tonight, many

42:56

questions remain about how Harris would

42:58

get her plan through Congress and

43:00

how it would be paid for.

43:02

But in North Carolina, the vice

43:04

president focused on drawing a contrast

43:06

with Donald Trump. He plans to

43:08

give billionaires massive tax cuts year

43:10

after year. I think that if

43:12

you want to know who someone cares about, look

43:15

who they fight for. And

43:18

she attacked Trump's proposal for tariffs on

43:21

all imports. It will mean

43:23

higher prices on just

43:25

about every one of your daily needs.

43:28

A Trump tax on gas, a

43:31

Trump tax on food, a Trump

43:34

tax on clothing, a

43:37

Trump tax on over the

43:39

counter medication. Tonight, the Trump

43:41

campaign firing back bashing Harris's

43:44

economic plan as extremely damaging

43:46

and a massive expansion of

43:48

government control. All right.

43:50

So you stop for a second. I got to

43:52

get some. I don't. I didn't notice

43:54

it because I don't have a lot of Harris clips. But

43:58

her ad noidal. which

44:01

is kind of a California accent. I think

44:03

somebody described it once as a Berkeley accent.

44:05

That nyang. She's not humming. She's not humming.

44:07

She's not humming. No, she's not

44:10

a Berkeley Hummer. That's different than this accent

44:12

she has. This is

44:14

more typical. It is a nasally.

44:16

Deviated septum. Unknowing. And

44:19

when you, because when you watch her on TV, it's

44:21

not as noticeable as when you're playing

44:24

these clips. When you're playing these clips,

44:26

just pure audio, it's

44:28

unacceptable. Yes,

44:32

unacceptable. So

44:35

I think- I don't see how anyone can listen to her

44:37

voice and vote for her. Well, just- That alone. Just

44:39

as a political consultant from the Curry-Divoure

44:41

Consulting Group, I would say the entire

44:43

idea here is not about truth,

44:46

but about connecting tax to Trump, alliteration,

44:48

Trump tax, a Trump tax, a Trump

44:50

tax. And of course it's ridiculous to

44:53

say that it's gonna be a Trump

44:55

tax on gas, because that's the one

44:57

thing we know that will definitely go

44:59

down. So this is

45:02

so bad that now people are

45:04

calling her Camila, as

45:06

in communist, which is very funny. So

45:08

this may be, it's probably gonna be

45:11

Trump's new term. We're gonna miss

45:13

out on the cackling, I'm afraid.

45:16

But it was so bad that

45:18

CNN did the, I

45:20

mean, just an outrageous comparison on

45:22

the economy between Trump and

45:25

Harris. Listen closely. And what does the

45:27

poll tell you about the different ways

45:29

that Harris and Trump are talking about

45:31

the economy, which of course is the issue

45:33

Americans say they care about the most.

45:35

Okay, so it is a comparison between

45:37

Trump and Harris on the economy, that's

45:39

what Americans care about most. Come on

45:41

in, polling kid. Yeah, economy, economy, economy. So

45:43

this is rather interesting, all right? So

45:45

this is the Harris versus Trump margin

45:47

in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina.

45:49

Look at this, Donald Trump holds an

45:51

advantage on who voters trust more on the

45:54

economy. Look at that, he leads Harris

45:56

by 12 points. But interestingly

45:58

enough, this is a question that I. I really

46:00

don't think pollsters asked nearly enough, which is who

46:02

cares about people more like you? Look at this,

46:04

Harald's holds a five point advantage on that. You

46:07

go back to 2012, Mitt Romney won

46:09

on the economy. Now, do you see what they did? So

46:11

they have two boxes, one has Trump's head,

46:15

plus 12 for Trump on the

46:17

economy, and Kamala

46:20

leads Trump by five points on

46:22

what people think that she'll care more

46:25

about people like me. Which

46:27

has nothing to do with the economy. I've

46:32

never seen anything- It's a switcheroo. I've never

46:35

seen anything more dystopian 1984s than this. But

46:38

interestingly enough, this is a question that I

46:40

really don't think pollsters asked nearly enough, which

46:42

is who cares about people more like you?

46:45

Look at this, Harald's holds a five point

46:47

advantage on that. You go back to 2012,

46:49

Mitt Romney won on the economy, but Barack

46:51

Obama won that election because he won on

46:53

this question, cares about people like you. And

46:55

Harris right now is leading on this, less

46:58

of a lead than Trump has on the

47:00

economy. But right now, I think voters are

47:02

balancing these two thoughts in their head, and

47:04

that's why we have such a close race

47:06

across the Sunbelt battleground. So cares about people

47:08

like you, that must mean black people, or

47:12

people of so-called color. I

47:15

mean, what else could it mean? Does it

47:17

mean people who were attorney generals, people who

47:19

slept with Willie Brown, people who were

47:22

senators, what does it mean? Women? No,

47:25

people who care about people like me.

47:30

It's racist is what it is.

47:32

It's totally racist. Yeah,

47:35

uh-huh. You see, you know, I don't, you

47:37

know, CNN is lost, it's a lost cause.

47:39

They're all lost, John. And be happy they're

47:41

still here, it's the only reason we still

47:43

have a gig. So

47:46

then final, I think this is final for me. This

47:49

2019 clip popped up,

47:52

and I just wanted to deconstruct it a

47:54

little bit because there is

47:56

something interesting that no one really went

47:58

bothered to go in. into. I

48:01

will snatch their patent so

48:04

that we will take over. Yes,

48:06

we can do that. Yes,

48:09

we can do that. Yes,

48:12

we can do that. It's

48:14

the question is, do you have the will to do it?

48:16

I have the will to do it. So

48:18

here she is talking about. This is a great clip,

48:20

by the way, and you have to kind of. I

48:23

had to listen to it two or three times to hear it. Yeah.

48:27

She says snatch your patent.

48:29

Yes, they will snatch

48:31

their patent. And of

48:34

course, the comments on X are

48:36

you didn't know how patent works.

48:39

Well. In December

48:41

7th of 2023, the bind

48:43

administration announced a

48:45

new policy. Called.

48:50

March in rights. It has

48:52

not been used yet. March

48:54

in rights. That

48:57

will allow it to seize patents

48:59

for medicines developed with government funding.

49:02

If it believes their prices are too

49:04

high. The policy

49:06

sets a roadmap for government so-called March

49:08

in rights, which have never been used

49:11

before. They would allow government to grant

49:13

additional licenses to third parties for products

49:15

developed using federal funds. If

49:17

the original patent holder does not

49:19

make them available to the public

49:21

on reasonable terms. Talk

49:24

about a bunch of commies. Well,

49:26

this is actually not a completely

49:29

unprecedented situation. Oh, do

49:31

you? It has been

49:34

written about talked about before the

49:36

CIA and the intelligence state has

49:38

been snatching patents for

49:40

years. Really? Yes, they

49:42

do it because it's national security. If you if

49:45

you come up with like a new weapon. That

49:48

is a that's just some sort of

49:50

crazy thing. And you try

49:52

to patent it. You have the patent

49:54

pulled the whole of the side. You

49:57

won't even get paid. Wow.

49:59

I did not know about that. This

50:01

has been going on for some time,

50:03

and every once in a while it

50:05

gets written up. That seems unconstitutional to

50:07

me. It's totally unconstitutional, but it's never

50:09

been challenged. I

50:12

don't know. But they've been doing it? They've been doing it? Yes,

50:15

there's a bunch of these missing things

50:17

that would be in the... They

50:21

don't even allow the patent to be published

50:23

because of the national security aspect to it.

50:26

This is just, yeah, it's been going on

50:28

for some time. I've read

50:31

about this for probably at least 10 years. So

50:33

all of this... Every once in a while some guy

50:35

will come out, some guy with the patent, you know,

50:37

the government screwed me out of my patent and blah,

50:39

blah, blah, and they bitch and moan about it, and

50:41

then nothing comes of it. Well,

50:44

this, of course, leads to much fodder

50:46

for Trump. Kamala

50:49

went full communist. You heard that? She

50:51

went full communist. She wants to destroy

50:53

our country. After

50:55

causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade

50:59

Kamala announced... Comrade Kamala. There it is.

51:01

...that she wants to institute socialist price

51:03

controls. You saw that. Never worked before.

51:05

Never, ever worked. Didn't we... I

51:08

thought we tested that in polling

51:11

at the consulting group. Comrade Kamala.

51:14

I mean, it didn't work, but now it works. I

51:16

don't think we did. John,

51:19

this is what consultants do. We lie about what we

51:21

did. Are you kidding me? Oh, yeah, we did. This

51:24

is the Maduro plan, Venezuela.

51:26

Maduro plan of, like,

51:30

the old Soviet Union. This is... They

51:33

tried it. How did the Soviet Union

51:35

work out? It became Russia. Smaller version.

51:37

It was a smaller version. It

51:40

will cause rationing, hunger, and

51:43

skyrocketing prices, just like their

51:46

Inflation Reduction Act caused. One of

51:48

the great scams of all time.

51:50

They got it approved with a

51:52

beautiful name, Inflation Reduction, because inflation

51:54

under their system has been

51:57

so bad. It's gone up much more

51:59

than 50%. You know, they say 30, 40, 50, much more. People

52:03

are being devastated. They're being devastated.

52:06

So he's got that going for him.

52:08

And then this day one, day one,

52:10

I mean, it's also obvious. Yesterday, Kamala

52:12

laid out her so-called economic plan. She

52:14

says she's going to lower the cost

52:17

of food and housing starting on day

52:19

one. But day

52:21

one for Kamala was three

52:23

and a half years ago. So

52:27

why didn't she do it then? So

52:31

this is day 1305. We're

52:35

at 1305. So

52:38

why isn't she doing it now? I mean,

52:40

it's almost like they called each other and

52:42

said, hey, listen, get me out

52:45

of this thing. I'm sick and tired of it.

52:47

I'm going to do some communist crap. And then

52:49

you call me out on it. We're good to

52:51

go. It'll work, Don. It'll work. It's

52:54

fine. And and he still hasn't figured

52:56

out our pet name. I mean, this

52:58

test is not going to happen now.

53:00

It's too late. He's come.

53:02

This woman is nuts. Look, people

53:04

say, be nice. Have you

53:06

heard her laugh? That is the

53:09

laugh of a crazy person. That

53:11

is the laugh of a crazy. It's the laugh of

53:14

a lunatic. Have you heard? You

53:18

know, they prohibited her. They

53:22

prohibited her for laughing. And

53:25

I've been waiting for her to laugh because as

53:27

soon as she laughs, the election's over. I

53:30

think now listen to what

53:32

he's doing. He's putting

53:34

it in her head. If

53:37

you laugh like that, which she can't help. No,

53:40

it's because I've got second thoughts

53:42

about your earlier PBA or whatever

53:44

it was called. Yeah, PBA.

53:47

I know. Yes. And

53:49

ever since you brought that back into the conversation,

53:52

I'm wondering. And

53:55

of course, we have a clip coming

53:57

up that'll go ahead. Go ahead.

54:00

Whatever you need. Well, the clip I wanted to bring

54:02

is the, is the Jordan Peterson clip that he was

54:04

on, Kill Me show over

54:06

the weekend. And he brought in this idea

54:08

of, I don't even know about these things,

54:10

Cluster B. Oh, we talked about

54:12

Cluster B. I don't remember talking

54:14

about Cluster B. Let me

54:16

just tell you why I know about

54:19

Cluster B is because of the disaffected

54:21

podcast by Josh Slocum. And

54:23

Josh Slocum, this a great podcast

54:26

and he talks, and he's a gay guy who

54:28

has completely gone against the whole,

54:33

he was a Democrat. He's gone,

54:35

I think he lives in Washington,

54:37

Washington. And

54:40

he specifically talks about Cluster B and it's

54:42

a medical term. And I didn't know about

54:44

it until I started listening to his pod.

54:46

It's a great podcast, by the way. Good

54:49

podcast to listen to. I have not heard this

54:51

Peterson bit. Well, let's

54:53

play this. This is about Kamala. And

54:57

I didn't know about, I knew about the variety

55:00

of syndromes within Cluster B because

55:02

they were discussed on- Like borderline

55:05

personality disorders. Borderline personality disorders, one

55:07

of them. And there's others. And-

55:11

Which is serious, by the way. Not making fun of

55:13

that. It's serious. It's

55:15

serious, but it's not a mental illness. That's the

55:17

thing that's interesting. Yeah, but you can't, either you

55:19

decide to live with someone who was a borderliner

55:23

or you have to leave them. See my

55:25

second marriage. We

55:29

have a link in the show notes

55:31

to a discussion of Cluster B. It's

55:33

a YouTube video. You

55:35

can check it out. It's very interesting. But

55:38

here's Jordan Peterson discuss, or bringing it

55:40

up on Kill Me's weekend show. And

55:42

it was, I

55:44

just caught my attention. With a huge week

55:47

ahead, the Democratic National Conventions about to kick

55:49

off and polls showing about the Democrat and

55:51

Republican nominee in a virtual dead heat in

55:53

all the battleground states. The Democratic Party seems

55:55

to be coming to their senses if we're

55:58

to believe what they say. Almost every- echoing

56:00

what Republicans have been saying

56:02

for years. We need a stronger

56:05

border. We need to tackle inflation.

56:07

We need to essentially abandon the

56:09

woke initiatives, the green initiatives, and

56:12

have the Dems really come see the light.

56:14

Are they really come to their senses, or

56:16

are they pretending to get elected

56:18

because they know their ideas

56:21

are so unpopular? Let's say that's one

56:23

of the smartest people you'll ever talk

56:25

to or listen to. Clinical Psychologist and

56:27

author of the host of the Jordan

56:29

Peterson Podcast, Dr. Jordan Peterson. Dr. Peterson,

56:31

great blazer, great to see you. First

56:34

off, I gotta ask you, are we to believe

56:36

with the Democritus? By the way, just looking at

56:38

that blazer makes me cluster B. Her crowds are

56:40

saying now that they're just getting

56:42

off the wokeness? No, I don't

56:44

believe so. I think that this is

56:47

a classic maneuver by

56:49

what would

56:51

you say, a group of advisors, and maybe

56:53

the VP herself, who show

56:56

the pathology associated with what's known

56:58

as the cluster B of personality

57:00

disorders. And I really believe this,

57:02

and the strategy would be this.

57:05

The radical left, just said

57:08

I would put Kamala Harris in

57:10

that category, have provoked

57:12

for years, for years, on

57:14

the DEI racial division, the

57:18

culture war front, constantly prodding

57:20

and poking. When the

57:22

conservatives finally woke up enough to respond,

57:25

the manipulators

57:27

at the bottom of the Democrat

57:29

organization said, oh, we

57:32

don't even know what you're talking about. All

57:35

this culture war stuff, where did you

57:37

invent that? The real issue is the

57:39

economy. The real issue is healthcare. The

57:41

real issue is education. All you people

57:43

are strange and weird for bringing anything

57:45

else up. We've been focusing on the

57:47

important issues all along. I don't know

57:49

what you're imagining. And that's classic cluster

57:52

B manipulative behavior. And

57:54

if we think that this new

57:56

messaging on the part of a candidate who's

57:59

using nothing, but in. image to

58:01

promote her views is reflect

58:03

the deeper reality than were

58:05

diluted beyond comprehension. Yeah.

58:10

It's a manipulative behavior and that's what's

58:12

going on with the media and

58:14

the fact that Kamala has not done

58:16

a speech. You won't talk to anybody.

58:18

She hasn't done that crazy laugh, but

58:20

she has actually now and

58:23

again. The whole thing is a giant

58:25

manipulation, which is a cluster B part

58:27

of the cluster B, which is a

58:29

group of erratic disorders. I read what

58:32

they are, the antisocial behaviors, one of

58:34

them borderline personalities, another one histrionic personality

58:37

disorder. We all know somebody like

58:39

that and also

58:41

the narcissistic personality disorder. All

58:44

these are in this one cluster

58:46

B and he says that the Democrat

58:48

party is just using a

58:52

bunch of people that have this problem

58:54

or if you want to call it

58:56

a problem or in fact just looks

58:58

like an advantage. And so far

59:00

as the media is probably involved with this,

59:03

it's unbelievable. Well, it's not unbelievable.

59:05

I keep saying unbelievable. Stop me from saying that.

59:07

I just got a text message from president Trump.

59:10

Yes. Thank you,

59:12

president Trump. They want me in jail in

59:14

one month before I'm sentenced by a corrupt

59:16

Democrat judge. Please read link.

59:19

Stop to opt out. I don't

59:21

think so. And it's

59:24

in all of this. Stop

59:26

to opt out on this number, but we'll send you

59:28

five more. I swear to God, I'm going to do

59:30

this just for the show because

59:32

I love every, because I love my truck. I'm

59:35

going to do stop and let's see how long it takes me

59:37

to get a new message. Stop.

59:40

You'll get a new message before the end of the

59:42

show. I bow quicker than

59:44

that. Okay. Stop. So

59:47

I'm alive signaling that I'm alive. We'll see how long it takes. I

59:52

don't know what to say about it. Like

59:54

I said, I don't get to share it.

59:56

That's Jared's big red or whatever it is.

59:58

It's the, it's the counter to. Act

1:00:01

blue. Yeah, it's horrible. And

1:00:05

it makes me hate them. It really

1:00:07

does. Like, do you think I'm

1:00:09

an idiot? I know what that link is. It's a

1:00:11

link with chip in. Chip

1:00:14

in. I know what it is. I'm not gonna

1:00:16

fall for that. But that's what they do every

1:00:18

single time. It's annoying. I get,

1:00:20

well it must work. Obviously it must work. It must

1:00:22

work or they wouldn't be doing it. They just figured

1:00:25

they're gonna annoy one person but they get a

1:00:27

lot of money from others. And

1:00:30

there's probably a lot of people that aren't, you know, that

1:00:34

this is like their social interaction. They're getting

1:00:36

all these cool messages. Maybe

1:00:40

some people like that. Now they're not

1:00:42

gonna message back saying you're opted out.

1:00:46

And sometimes I think these are just people

1:00:48

who have phone numbers and they're just doing

1:00:50

this. You know,

1:00:52

it's not even an automated system.

1:00:57

So President Biden joined Ms. Harris in

1:00:59

Maryland on

1:01:03

the campaign trail. And

1:01:05

I have to say, not Biden.

1:01:09

This was daddy long legs.

1:01:12

His face looked different. I

1:01:15

did not hear the clicking, clacking of the teeth.

1:01:17

And it wasn't really jacked up Joe. Listen.

1:01:20

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris standing side

1:01:23

by side with President Biden. She's

1:01:26

been her first official event together since Biden dropped out of the

1:01:28

race. Folks, I'm

1:01:31

an incredible partner. The progress

1:01:33

we've made. She's gonna make

1:01:35

one hell of a president. It's

1:01:38

in Maryland announcing the lowering of prescription

1:01:40

drug costs for those using Medicare. So

1:01:43

here's another clip of him. Started in January.

1:01:45

Now this, all of a sudden he's jacked

1:01:47

up. So,

1:01:50

I mean, it's very interesting. I don't

1:01:52

know if this is jacked up Joe

1:01:54

now or what I believe it to

1:01:56

be is daddy long legs with the

1:01:58

mask. Oh, you have successfully unsubscribed. Okay,

1:02:00

let's see what happens next. Started in

1:02:02

January of this year, every

1:02:04

senior in the United States of America, no

1:02:06

matter what their cost of drugs. And

1:02:09

like I said, some of these cancer drugs are 12,000

1:02:11

bucks a year. Every single penny

1:02:13

they spend, they never have to spend more than

1:02:15

$2,000 a year for

1:02:18

all drugs. All drugs. Surprise,

1:02:21

surprise. Big Pharma doesn't

1:02:23

want this to happen at all. The

1:02:26

pharmaceutical industry last

1:02:28

year spent $400 million

1:02:31

lobbying to Congress to stop this.

1:02:35

Now, does this sound like the actual Joe Biden

1:02:37

to you that we hear in all these interviews?

1:02:39

No. I

1:02:42

don't think this is jacked up Joe anymore. I

1:02:44

think this is a guy who's just got the

1:02:46

fumbling and bumbling down. And

1:02:50

he doesn't look like him, and the hair in

1:02:52

the back is different. I look at hair. It's

1:02:55

just, it's not the same guy. And

1:02:59

the real Biden may be alive, but I don't

1:03:01

think he's on the campaign trail. Well,

1:03:07

the real Biden is gonna have to be the guy,

1:03:09

well, maybe this'll be the Biden that comes up at

1:03:11

the DNC. That's

1:03:15

what's gonna be interesting. Which Biden are we

1:03:17

gonna get. I would like

1:03:19

to see jacked up Joe personally. I'm

1:03:24

so afraid that it's just gonna be a

1:03:26

big poop and it's gonna be nothing and

1:03:28

he's not gonna do anything weird. I

1:03:31

said it. That he's

1:03:33

not gonna do anything outrageous. It's just

1:03:35

gonna be ho-hum. That's

1:03:39

probably right. Yeah. My

1:03:42

hope is that the

1:03:44

protestors, 100,000 strong, storm

1:03:47

the place. Well, I have some

1:03:49

updates. Tonight, Chicago's guard is already

1:03:52

up. Fencing

1:03:54

lining the streets. Rose closed off

1:03:56

to vehicles. A

1:03:58

large protective zone built. around the United

1:04:00

Center, where Vice President Harris is set

1:04:03

to accept the Democratic nomination for president.

1:04:06

And just like at the Republican convention

1:04:08

in Milwaukee, Secret Service, responsible for everything

1:04:10

inside that hardened perimeter, local police taking

1:04:12

the lead for nearly everything else. Is

1:04:15

the Chicago Police Department ready for the DNC?

1:04:17

I've said it for a while, the Chicago

1:04:20

Police Department is ready. Ready. Chicago's

1:04:22

top cop says there are no specific

1:04:24

incredible threats, but to expect a heavy

1:04:26

police presence throughout the city. It's

1:04:29

a huge project, but the Chicago Police Department

1:04:31

and the city as a whole is used

1:04:33

to working towards something this large. Looming

1:04:36

over the convention is the promise of large

1:04:39

scale protests just blocks from the United Center.

1:04:41

This is one of the streets we'll be

1:04:43

on, yes. Despite months of

1:04:45

legal battles over the protest area, the

1:04:47

largest demonstration is expected to draw more

1:04:49

than 20,000 people. Hatem

1:04:52

Abodea is one of the lead

1:04:54

organizers preparing to voice his opposition

1:04:56

to Israel's war in Gaza. Kiffee

1:04:58

Yay wearing dude. What's the

1:05:00

main message for you guys? Yeah,

1:05:02

the main message is that the Democrats who

1:05:04

are gonna be in that building are

1:05:07

complicit in this war

1:05:11

against the Palestinian people. Police

1:05:14

Superintendent Larry Snelling says his

1:05:17

officers received special training focused

1:05:19

on de-escalation and respecting constitutional

1:05:21

rights. But warns violent

1:05:23

scenes reminiscent of Chicago's 1968 Democratic

1:05:26

Convention will not be tolerated. Do we

1:05:28

want to have fights in the streets

1:05:31

with people? Yes, yes. Absolutely not. But

1:05:33

I wanna make one thing clear. I

1:05:36

wanna make this perfectly clear. We

1:05:38

need to know the difference between rioting

1:05:41

and protesting. A city that

1:05:43

says it's prepared for any

1:05:45

situation. So you recall that

1:05:47

there was some anger, that they weren't

1:05:50

allowed to go where they wanted to

1:05:52

go, the route, and I guess they

1:05:54

did some negotiation with the city, and

1:05:56

they have reached an agreement. An agreement

1:05:58

was reached Friday between the city of

1:06:00

Chicago and... coalition of demonstrators days before

1:06:02

the start of the Democratic National Convention.

1:06:04

We announce it all the time. We

1:06:06

talk about how in the mass movements

1:06:09

power concedes nothing without

1:06:11

a demand. The city will allow the

1:06:13

coalition to march on the DNC to

1:06:16

use sound equipment, set up staging and

1:06:18

bring in at least seven portable toilets

1:06:20

during their demonstrations. Earlier this week the

1:06:22

city denied items in the group's permit

1:06:24

application, citing safety concerns. Organizers felt the

1:06:26

rules made it impossible to share their

1:06:28

message of calling for an end to

1:06:31

USAID to Israel and a ceasefire in

1:06:33

Gaza. In response, the group filed an

1:06:35

emergency motion alleging the denial was unconstitutional.

1:06:37

Hours before a federal hearing, both sides

1:06:39

got back to the negotiating table. We

1:06:41

talked to the mayor himself

1:06:44

directly, one of the top leaders

1:06:46

of our coalition spoke with the

1:06:48

mayor. And we did the grassroots

1:06:51

organizing that we know how to

1:06:53

do and we won what

1:06:55

we needed to win. The group says they are

1:06:58

still fighting for a longer marching route. They say

1:07:00

the route they are approved for is too short.

1:07:02

They also want the city to approve the usage

1:07:04

of tents in the parks for medical staff and

1:07:06

members of the press to use. The mayor addressed

1:07:08

negotiations earlier in the day. It's fundamental to our

1:07:11

democracy. I want to make sure that these individuals

1:07:13

have everything that they need to make sure that

1:07:15

their voices are heard. The group has approved to

1:07:17

be in Union Park and Park number 578 near

1:07:20

Washington and Damon with restrictions. The

1:07:23

city of Chicago has released a

1:07:25

schedule for permitted parades and assemblies.

1:07:27

The first is scheduled for Sunday

1:07:29

evening. Tonight, tonight kicks

1:07:31

off tonight. And then.

1:07:34

I want to note a couple of

1:07:36

things. Please, you know. First of all,

1:07:39

they all the reporting is the following.

1:07:41

Well, we're prepared. Unlike

1:07:44

in They

1:07:46

were very prepared. In

1:07:49

1968. The

1:07:52

so-called lack of preparation involved. They

1:07:54

didn't have the Secret Service and

1:07:57

the FBI. They had the National

1:07:59

Guard. Yes, they had it

1:08:02

basically the army plus every cop

1:08:04

in Illinois was out There's this

1:08:06

bull crap that they're gonna be

1:08:08

more prepared. There's no way the

1:08:10

National Guard was guarding this convention and

1:08:13

it got out of control There's

1:08:16

that they're gonna be I think if

1:08:18

these guys can be kept from Storming

1:08:20

the stage not to mention the fact that people

1:08:23

can get in because there's a well There

1:08:25

was fighting inside the the DNC

1:08:27

in If you

1:08:30

can keep people I don't see how they're gonna

1:08:32

keep Democrats If

1:08:34

you've been to one of the ever been

1:08:36

to a convention there is there was the

1:08:38

public is in there It's you know, there's

1:08:40

the convention floor which has all the delegates

1:08:43

but surrounding them are is the general public

1:08:45

you get in The

1:08:47

fact that there's gonna be protesters

1:08:51

inside Right off

1:08:53

the bat because they're gonna find their way in they're

1:08:55

gonna get a pass. I'm oh, yeah. No, I'm okay

1:08:57

They're gonna get in so the place this is not

1:09:00

I I If

1:09:02

they can't really make a mess of this

1:09:04

and cause nothing but chaos then they they

1:09:06

suck The another was hippies could do a

1:09:08

better job in 1968 than

1:09:10

you you guys a violent group

1:09:13

Hamas you can't do

1:09:15

better than that. I'd be I'd

1:09:18

be stunned stop President

1:09:20

Trump texts me again new number No

1:09:23

already. Oh, yeah from Trump and it

1:09:25

says Adam. I had a

1:09:27

minute. So I wrote you a personal letter

1:09:31

Take take a look stop to

1:09:33

end There

1:09:35

you go, that's how fast it goes. So

1:09:37

that was less than 10 minutes. Oh,

1:09:39

yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah Here's

1:09:42

governor Pritzker on his

1:09:44

desire to bring the DNC to Chicago

1:09:46

and what he feels about What might

1:09:48

be just a few bad apples every

1:09:50

time I saw President Biden? I

1:09:54

literally would shake his hand and the first thing I'd

1:09:56

say to him is we're gonna have the convention in

1:09:58

Chicago, right? And he would love to laugh

1:10:00

after the third or fourth time you heard it. Just

1:10:03

promoting the city. You gotta keep working, you

1:10:05

know what I mean? So anyway, that's one

1:10:07

reason. I think another is that we show

1:10:09

off the values of the

1:10:11

Democratic Party. We have literally, we've protected

1:10:13

people's freedoms here, the freedom to choose

1:10:15

the right to read a book that

1:10:18

you wanna read. One

1:10:20

of those rights often exercised in Chicago, the

1:10:22

right to protest. But some of these groups,

1:10:24

as we mentioned, are amping up their rhetoric

1:10:27

to cause disruption. One group saying, quote, F

1:10:29

the GNC, the G for genocidal

1:10:32

in an Instagram post. And

1:10:34

another post saying, quote, let's crash the

1:10:36

party with a list of demonstrations and

1:10:38

rallies in Union Park. Now CPD Superintendent

1:10:40

Larry Snelling has been training officers for

1:10:42

a year for this event and has

1:10:44

repeatedly said that his force is ready

1:10:46

to allow protesters to exercise their rights

1:10:48

while keeping the peace. Governor Pritzker says

1:10:50

he has faith in that plan. There

1:10:53

may be some bad apples. Usually they'll

1:10:55

come from out of town to do

1:10:57

it. So there's been a lot of planning,

1:10:59

I wanna be clear. Every four years, and I've been

1:11:01

to almost every convention since I was able to vote.

1:11:04

Every four years at a Democratic

1:11:06

and Republican convention, there are protests.

1:11:08

And there will be protests this time. We're

1:11:11

gonna protect people's freedom of speech, but we're

1:11:13

also gonna protect the people who live here

1:11:15

and the delegates that are

1:11:17

coming to visit. Digi Guru

1:11:19

in the troll room says, I

1:11:21

was there in Grant Park for

1:11:24

the S68 DNC convention.

1:11:27

The cops were brutal in beating the

1:11:29

living daylights, uses a different word, out

1:11:31

of anybody that was congregating around there.

1:11:33

I had to run for my life

1:11:35

to escape the pandemonium at age 18.

1:11:39

Boots on the ground. The other thing they

1:11:42

have to deal with, which they're starting to

1:11:44

talk about, is the hotels. Oh,

1:11:47

yeah, burn them. This

1:11:49

was a problem in 68 too. In

1:11:51

fact, I had a headline, a front

1:11:53

page of the Sun Times in the

1:11:55

last newsletter, which was

1:11:57

an epic fail, by the way. Yeah,

1:12:00

no kidding. Thank God for meetups. Yeah.

1:12:04

So there's

1:12:07

a fear that they're going to track down

1:12:09

the delegates that are staying at the various

1:12:11

hotels around Chicago and they're going to raid

1:12:13

the hotels. Pester them. Now

1:12:16

that may be thwarted by

1:12:18

the latest idea as DNC

1:12:20

attendees, thanks to Planned Parenthood

1:12:22

and I would presume the

1:12:24

organizers, will have

1:12:26

opportunity to get free abortions and

1:12:29

free vasectomies on site. Yes.

1:12:33

It's, I'm not kidding. Line

1:12:36

up boys for your free vasectomies.

1:12:38

They have a van. They

1:12:42

have a van. Beep, beep.

1:12:46

Healthcare no matter where. It's actually an RV

1:12:48

with a slide out. That's, that's where they

1:12:51

do the vasectomy part. Chicago,

1:12:53

we're headed your way to provide

1:12:55

free vasectomies and abortions. Planned

1:12:57

Parenthood from Great

1:12:59

Rivers. That's a good idea. Yeah,

1:13:03

might as well. The Democrat parties, they notorious

1:13:06

for having their balls cut off. Nice

1:13:08

looking van, by the way. RV.

1:13:11

It's nice. It's got a

1:13:13

slide out, everything. It's got

1:13:15

to be a goodness. Great.

1:13:17

There's got to be a

1:13:20

47 footer. Everyone's laughing about

1:13:22

that, of course. It's

1:13:25

what you do on, on X. Laugh

1:13:27

about that stuff. Laugh about it. Yeah.

1:13:31

All right. I got some, I

1:13:33

got some Trump Harris stuff here. I want to get

1:13:35

back and forth. From NPR, this is

1:13:38

Harris Trump back and forth. A

1:13:41

discussion that took place this week.

1:13:43

Vice president Kamala Harris and former

1:13:45

president Donald Trump outlined

1:13:47

their plans to combat high prices. The

1:13:50

dueling proposals reflect just how important inflation

1:13:52

and economy are to voters. NPR's Franco

1:13:55

Ordonez has been looking at both plans.

1:13:57

Franco, thanks for being with Thanks for

1:13:59

having me, Scott. Let's begin with the

1:14:02

Harris plan. What can you tell us?

1:14:04

Well, I mean, she's been facing some

1:14:06

criticism for not offering her own vision

1:14:09

of the job, how she would distinguish

1:14:11

herself from Biden, from Bidenomics, frankly. In

1:14:14

North Carolina yesterday, she did acknowledge

1:14:16

how tough it is for many

1:14:19

middle-income families. Because look,

1:14:21

the bills add up. Food,

1:14:24

rent, gas, back-to-school

1:14:26

clothes, prescription

1:14:29

medication. After

1:14:31

all that, for many families, there's

1:14:34

not much left at the end of the

1:14:36

month. And while she didn't

1:14:38

really get too specific, she did offer

1:14:40

some broad outlines of what she described

1:14:42

as a more forward-looking economic plan. It

1:14:45

includes assistance for homeowners, caps on drug

1:14:47

prices. There's a lot of attention on

1:14:49

a proposal for a federal ban on

1:14:51

price gouging in the food industry. And

1:14:53

she also wants to raise the child

1:14:55

tax credit more and eliminate taxes on

1:14:57

tips, which those two things, by the

1:14:59

way, are also being proposed by Trump

1:15:02

as well. Yeah, and so there is

1:15:04

agreement between parts of the Harris and

1:15:06

Trump plans, but also a huge contrast,

1:15:08

aren't there? Yeah, big contrast. And Trump

1:15:10

also laid out parts of his plan

1:15:12

this week. Again, not deep in specifics,

1:15:14

but he plans to also eliminate taxes

1:15:17

on social security benefits. He also talked

1:15:19

a lot about boosting fossil fuels and

1:15:21

nuclear energy. He really wants to roll

1:15:23

back many of Biden's efforts to fight

1:15:26

climate change. Which he

1:15:28

blames for rising energy costs. Tell

1:15:31

me if you don't want me to do this anymore. Urgent,

1:15:33

urgent. Ted Cruz's race was named one

1:15:36

of the most likely to flip. Russian

1:15:39

emergency, $32.75 to provide critical support. Stop

1:15:43

to end. It's

1:15:47

just, it's a flood. Well,

1:15:49

you can hold off for a while. Okay, all

1:15:51

right. But so you got a

1:15:53

message within 10 minutes of

1:15:56

your opting out. Yeah, and another one. And

1:15:59

now you just got a. second message. Different numbers.

1:16:01

And see, everybody wonders why I put

1:16:03

my phone in a drawer. Different

1:16:08

number. Yeah. Of course. This

1:16:11

should be illegal. These

1:16:13

are number spoofers. Yes. It's time

1:16:15

for a government ID so it can block everyone

1:16:17

who's. Okay.

1:16:20

All right. So, and I've heard

1:16:22

people look at these two economic plans and say, there's

1:16:24

almost no daylight. You might as well go for the,

1:16:26

for the, for the person who's joyous. Yeah.

1:16:29

The person who's a liar who won't

1:16:32

do any of these things. Yeah. Vote

1:16:34

for them. That's the thing I've been

1:16:36

hearing, which is people who, who hear

1:16:39

that they're the same basic theory, you

1:16:41

know, theoretical. Yes. Why would, why would

1:16:43

the Democrats all of a sudden change

1:16:45

course to such an extreme and actually

1:16:48

follow through? Does it make sense

1:16:50

to anybody? Well,

1:16:52

unfortunately, there's a

1:16:54

great documentary, uh, called

1:16:56

it's a, Jay James. I think James

1:16:59

Lindsay, he's in it a lot. I don't know

1:17:01

if it's, I think someone else did. It's called

1:17:03

beneath sheep's clothing and

1:17:05

attracts the Marxist movement, uh,

1:17:08

in the United States back to, you know,

1:17:11

basically world war one, when the women had

1:17:13

to go into the factories and

1:17:15

government schools came into play and

1:17:19

we've had a hundred years

1:17:21

of Marxist teaching

1:17:23

and ideology and the people, and

1:17:25

I know some of them who

1:17:27

are in Chicago, they

1:17:30

really, really believe in

1:17:33

people like Kamala Harris. They believe

1:17:35

in the black lady. They believe

1:17:37

in the lady. They believe in,

1:17:39

you know, that Trump will take

1:17:42

away your rights. They have extreme

1:17:44

victim mentality. And of

1:17:46

course, you know, throughout the documentary,

1:17:48

not atypical for James Lindsay is,

1:17:50

you know, obviously it's Christian nationalism,

1:17:52

which is the problem, which is,

1:17:54

which is the inverse of Marxism.

1:17:57

Uh, it's, you know, it's, I don't think it's available

1:17:59

for free. free. I paid for it 12 bucks. Well

1:18:02

worth watching for a bit of

1:18:04

history of education in America. And

1:18:07

no one's ever going to convince these

1:18:09

people differently. You're just not. I mean,

1:18:11

they are for their, it's

1:18:13

a form of MK ultra. It's

1:18:15

brainwashing. They have been brainwashed. Generation

1:18:20

of generation. Everyone who I

1:18:22

know who didn't go to

1:18:24

school in recent years, myself

1:18:26

included. It's okay. Everyone

1:18:29

who went through the program, not okay.

1:18:32

I went to the program. No, I

1:18:34

went to the program in the, in

1:18:36

the belly of the beast university of

1:18:38

California, Berkeley. Not as, but it's progressively

1:18:40

gotten worse with media blanketing. I'm looking

1:18:42

back on it and I'm wondering. Well,

1:18:44

you know, I do

1:18:47

have my questions about you to be quite honest. You

1:18:53

were a Democrat for a while, but you know,

1:18:55

you got saved. Something happened. Yeah.

1:18:58

I came to my senses. Yeah. Well,

1:19:00

that does,

1:19:03

how old were you when you came to your

1:19:05

senses? It was a pretty late in the game.

1:19:07

I think I was in there. You go. These

1:19:09

are young people. That is a problem. But, but

1:19:12

it, after a while you keep noticing that

1:19:14

the Democrats, the way I saw it, the

1:19:17

Democrats were going out of their way to,

1:19:19

to kill me. They

1:19:22

are, they were out to kill the

1:19:24

baby boomers to get rid of their,

1:19:26

their very, and the population control oriented

1:19:29

and the Vietnam war was killing the

1:19:31

baby boomers. The situation

1:19:33

that would Jimmy Carter came along. But

1:19:35

hold on, but hold on. But at

1:19:37

least then television was showing blown up

1:19:40

guys on the battlefield. That was new.

1:19:42

You don't see blown up guys in

1:19:45

Iraq, Afghanistan, any, you know, Syria. You

1:19:47

don't see that. You don't see the

1:19:49

horrors of war. By the way, we

1:19:52

finally know what the C and John

1:19:54

C. Dvorak stands for. Communist.

1:19:56

That's right. Tommy. John.

1:19:59

Tell me the more. That was unfair.

1:20:01

That was unfair. It was unfair. I'm

1:20:04

not a communist. I never had been. In fact,

1:20:06

even when I was a little kid, there

1:20:09

was a lot of anti-communist stuff taught to us.

1:20:12

Well, yeah, you went through the red scare and all

1:20:14

that. Yeah, and it

1:20:16

was always, it was probably good. It probably

1:20:19

had some long-term effect. Yes, this is why

1:20:21

it's good. And I think we're

1:20:23

going through a cycle where Kamala

1:20:26

is being called communist, communist,

1:20:30

whatever, you know, they're doing with the K to

1:20:33

tie it into Kamala. Communist, yeah.

1:20:35

And it's good. We need

1:20:37

another red scare. We need

1:20:39

to be afraid of communism,

1:20:41

Marxism specifically, but Kamala,

1:20:44

communism goes well together. We

1:20:46

need that. That is what's

1:20:48

necessary to wake people up again. And

1:20:52

that they want to kill you. Well, I

1:20:54

think the House Un-American Activities Committee would be

1:20:57

a useful tool. Yeah. And that's

1:20:59

been disbanded in the 70s. John for

1:21:01

Congress. There you go. There's

1:21:03

a column in the sub-stack that I wrote about

1:21:05

this. Yeah, pulled me in. You did. All

1:21:08

right. I have clip two. Clip two. And

1:21:11

I gather they also included some sharp attacks

1:21:13

on Vice President Harris. They certainly

1:21:15

did. I mean, Trump's been under pressure

1:21:17

from Republicans to tone down the personal

1:21:20

attacks. And I've spoken with allies who

1:21:22

say Trump should really stick to his

1:21:24

winning message, which is, are you better

1:21:27

off now with Harris and Biden than

1:21:29

you were with Trump? I mean, the

1:21:31

election is less than three months away.

1:21:33

And they say that he's wasting precious

1:21:36

opportunities to highlight the contrast, high issues

1:21:38

like the economy and the border. But

1:21:40

it doesn't look like he's going to

1:21:43

hold back from criticizing Harris and not

1:21:45

just on policy. I think I'm entitled

1:21:47

to personal attacks. I don't have

1:21:49

a lot of respect for her. I don't have

1:21:52

a lot of respect for her intelligence. And

1:21:54

I think she'll be a terrible president. And

1:21:57

I think it's very important that we win. the

1:22:00

personal attacks are good bad, I mean

1:22:02

she certainly attacks me personally. She actually

1:22:04

called me weird. He's weird. Yeah, that

1:22:06

weird line has really gotten under his

1:22:09

skin apparently. And ultimately though, what he

1:22:11

made clear at his press conference was

1:22:13

that he's the candidate and he needs

1:22:15

to do it his own way. He's

1:22:20

so lucky he has Vance to go out there

1:22:22

and translate him. What

1:22:24

a genius choice. Yeah,

1:22:26

and he keeps saying that he's regretful

1:22:28

that he picked Vance. I

1:22:30

see, the media says that. I

1:22:33

have seen no evidence of this. Did

1:22:35

you see the latest Vanity Fair? They,

1:22:39

they, oh, they did a real hit job. On

1:22:42

who? On Vance? No, on Trump.

1:22:44

Donald Trump has watched a video clip

1:22:46

of the attempt on his life at

1:22:48

a Pennsylvania rally quote over and over

1:22:50

again, leading to fears that he may

1:22:52

be suffering from PTSD. This

1:22:56

is according to people familiar with the campaign.

1:22:58

Oh, this is where that, okay, I heard

1:23:01

this. I heard about this and this, this

1:23:03

idea that Trump has PTSD. Here it is.

1:23:05

He's been watching that seven second clip of

1:23:08

how close he was to getting shot right

1:23:10

in the head over and over again. The

1:23:12

Republican close to the campaign told Vanity Fair.

1:23:17

The Republican close to the Trump campaign.

1:23:21

I just love that. The Republican,

1:23:23

some dude who voted Republican once who's sweeping

1:23:25

the floor, told Vanity

1:23:28

Fair that the former president's recent run

1:23:30

of appearances and subsequent gaffes felt

1:23:33

like he was choosing to

1:23:35

lose. Allies of

1:23:37

Trump see his conspiratorial messages and insults

1:23:40

based on race as anything but productive.

1:23:42

This comes back to your clip. They

1:23:46

want him to focus on his

1:23:48

attacks on policy issues such as

1:23:50

immigration and the economy rather than

1:23:52

personal attacks against Harris. This is

1:23:54

literally what the NPR guy just

1:23:57

said. So it's the same. It's

1:23:59

messaging. This is a

1:24:01

schema. Yes, a schema. And I think the

1:24:03

mistake they're making is

1:24:05

that when they brought the PTSD thing

1:24:07

up, and this has come up

1:24:09

in the conversation around the house, they're

1:24:13

getting a sympathy vote for Trump. He's so stupid.

1:24:15

They, all they do, all they do with everything

1:24:17

is that. It was a huge, I think it's

1:24:19

a blunder. Yeah, I agree. That

1:24:21

if you think that Trump is suffering

1:24:24

from PTSD because they shot at him,

1:24:26

which is possible, but then you feel

1:24:28

sorry for Trump, oh,

1:24:31

that's terrible. He's suffering from

1:24:33

that horrible attempt on his

1:24:35

life. I feel bad about that. This

1:24:37

is not what you're trying to do here

1:24:39

to get him voted out. But you're right.

1:24:42

It's a schema. It's the same

1:24:44

messaging and Vanity Fair of all

1:24:46

places as NPR, brought

1:24:50

to you by Annie Leibowitz. Yeah,

1:24:53

this is, well, this

1:24:55

all coordinated. Yes, yes, it's

1:24:57

great. Hello, four more

1:24:59

years. So done

1:25:02

with this nonsense. All right, final clip. Franco,

1:25:04

what will you be looking for at the

1:25:06

Democratic National Convention next week? Well, I mean,

1:25:08

the economy isn't the strongest issue for Democrats,

1:25:10

so I'm not so sure how much they're

1:25:12

gonna be talking about that. You

1:25:15

were just talking about the protests

1:25:17

over Gaza. Are they gonna find

1:25:19

their way into the arena? I

1:25:21

mean, there is going to be

1:25:23

a lot of attention on Harris

1:25:25

next week for good and bad.

1:25:27

So I will want to see

1:25:29

the contrast with the Republican Convention

1:25:31

in Milwaukee from just a few

1:25:33

weeks ago, where there really was

1:25:35

this kind of sense of inevitability

1:25:37

among Republicans that Trump was gonna

1:25:39

win. I mean, the race has

1:25:42

changed so much. The dynamics have

1:25:44

changed so much. I'm also,

1:25:46

of course, focusing a lot on the

1:25:48

Trump campaign. So I will be watching

1:25:50

how they respond and try to take

1:25:52

back some of the spotlight next week.

1:25:55

I expect Trump will be pretty busy

1:25:57

as well. Yeah, counter-programming.

1:25:59

programming, of course. He's already, he's already

1:26:02

signaled that he's going to do something big. Yeah.

1:26:05

He does that all the time. Yeah. That's a

1:26:07

smart idea. Are we done

1:26:09

with Trump Harris? Yeah, I

1:26:11

think so. Well, with that, I'd like to

1:26:13

thank you for your courage. Say in the

1:26:15

morning to you, the man who put the

1:26:17

sea in schema, say hello to my friend

1:26:19

on the other end, the one, the only

1:26:21

Mr. John C. DeMarra. Hello

1:26:24

trolls. Very helpful today. Stop.

1:26:32

Trying to count you trolls. Okay. There we go. 24 18. Nice. Up from

1:26:34

last week. The closer we

1:26:44

get to the election, the more it looks like

1:26:46

a horse race, the more the trolls want to

1:26:48

tune in and hear about the schemas that are

1:26:50

going on. And there in the darkness is the

1:26:52

shining light of Korean Devorak to

1:26:54

help you understand something like that, to

1:26:56

help you understand what's going on in

1:26:58

your world. Yo,

1:27:00

trolls hanging out in the troll room,

1:27:03

troll room.io. Of course, this live stream

1:27:06

24 seven. You can drop in. Uh,

1:27:08

just, um, you can lurk. Whatever

1:27:11

happened to lurking used to be, I was

1:27:13

just lurking. Nope.

1:27:15

No lawyer. You control. That's really the whole idea.

1:27:18

It's a 24 seven live podcasts, uh,

1:27:21

repeats of podcasts that are all part

1:27:23

of the big no agenda nation station.

1:27:26

Um, and every single Thursday and Sunday when

1:27:28

we kick it off live before that we

1:27:30

have, uh, Darren O'Neill, Darren O'Neill

1:27:32

doing the rock and roll pre-show. Um,

1:27:35

and there's always some, something interesting after our show.

1:27:37

It's good. And you can also listen to this

1:27:40

in the modern podcast apps, drop the

1:27:42

legacy apps. You will eventually, because something,

1:27:44

if you like this show, if

1:27:46

it's not this show, there will be some other podcast

1:27:48

that has dropped the legacy apps drop

1:27:50

an average of three to four every single day.

1:27:53

I know this because I know all the hosting

1:27:55

companies and you know, it gets

1:27:57

fed back to them up and sometimes it's

1:27:59

just an episode. You know,

1:28:01

Spotify literally removes certain episodes they

1:28:03

don't like. Which

1:28:05

is like... That's weird. Uh,

1:28:08

uh, uh, uh, uh, don't use

1:28:10

the word weird. Thank

1:28:13

you. So, uh, I wanted

1:28:15

to compliment, I wanted to compliment Darren

1:28:17

for doing a call out for poor

1:28:20

old Greg Kinn who died. Yes, my life's in

1:28:23

jeopardy. The local boy, he's like,

1:28:25

lives in Berkeley. My life's in

1:28:27

jeopardy, baby. He only had

1:28:29

one hit. One. Yeah,

1:28:32

and that wasn't his best song. No, he was

1:28:34

basically a bar band. Did you know him? I

1:28:39

didn't know him, never met him, but he was, you'd

1:28:41

see him around town. He was just one of the

1:28:43

locals. Pick

1:28:46

up one of those modern podcast apps

1:28:48

at podcastapps.com. As a benefit, there's

1:28:51

something I want to mention. Every one

1:28:53

of the modern podcast apps has a

1:28:55

donate button for the show. And

1:28:57

so when you're listening to it on the app,

1:29:00

you're like, you know, I should support these guys

1:29:02

because of the value I'm getting out of it.

1:29:04

You just look at the top and there's a

1:29:06

little, little button that some say, uh, support.

1:29:08

Some say, some has a little dollar

1:29:11

sign or a Euro sign. You tap

1:29:13

it, goes right to knowagendadonations.com. That

1:29:16

is also an innovation we put into podcasting 2.0.

1:29:19

You can't do that on Apple, can't do it

1:29:22

on Spotify. Just a

1:29:24

little, little added bonus, which I think is good. It's

1:29:26

handy. Same for DH. Oh, I'm sorry. DH

1:29:29

Unplugged is still on, uh, what's

1:29:31

that stupid, uh, feed

1:29:34

burner. You got

1:29:36

to talk to Horowitz about that. Well,

1:29:40

he listens to the show. You can tell him right

1:29:42

now. He's on feed burner. It

1:29:45

will only be a few weeks before, you know,

1:29:47

Google turns, Google owns it. They can turn it

1:29:49

off at any minute. I'll

1:29:52

talk to him about moving it. Yes,

1:29:54

we have to, we have to move

1:29:57

it. It's ridiculous. Feed

1:29:59

burner. Um, I actually

1:30:01

got a call

1:30:04

back from, uh, you know, before

1:30:07

we get into thanking some of our executive

1:30:09

and associate executive producers, I had,

1:30:11

uh, the, the X Disney guy called me back

1:30:14

about our, about our cable idea.

1:30:17

He likes it. He

1:30:20

likes it a lot actually. And I

1:30:22

said, you want to be CEO? And, uh, let me see

1:30:24

that he texts me after that. Um,

1:30:26

but then he goes to me after that. No, he didn't

1:30:28

actually. He's no, he said that he was going to, let

1:30:31

me tell you what he was going to reach out to.

1:30:33

He was going to reach out to some people for us.

1:30:36

Um, you know, I had some, he first of

1:30:38

all, he's working at some FinTech company. So

1:30:41

I'm sure he'd be happy to, to

1:30:43

get back into something sexy. He

1:30:47

says he knows, who does he know

1:30:49

here? Friend of mine in LA

1:30:51

was number two at Hulu then ran HBO max.

1:30:53

I was like, oh, I'm going to

1:30:56

go ask him. And I know a strategy guy

1:30:58

at NBC, who was really involved in peacocks. So

1:31:00

he's going to, you know, we got real people

1:31:02

on it, man. That's real people.

1:31:04

That's, that's some real people. Yeah. I'm at,

1:31:06

but I said, I said to him,

1:31:08

I said, dude, we do you need to run this? You'd be great. Cause

1:31:11

you know, Adam and John are not going to

1:31:13

do anything. We're

1:31:15

not going to run anything. In

1:31:19

the meantime, we are still value for value

1:31:21

and we love it. And then do anything.

1:31:23

We do a lot of work. We do

1:31:26

some, we're thought we

1:31:28

were big thinkers. Well,

1:31:30

just look at the landscape paramount

1:31:32

television studios shutting down. So

1:31:35

I mean, they're shutting down. You know, are you, did we

1:31:37

talk about to be, you know what to be is? Do

1:31:40

you have to buy? No, what to be is, but we

1:31:42

didn't talk about it. No. To

1:31:44

be is they have the largest catalog

1:31:47

of old movies and TV shows,

1:31:49

old, old stuff. You know, Hogan's

1:31:52

heroes level. Because

1:31:54

it's very cheap for them to have

1:31:56

the completely ad based word

1:31:58

on the street is they would. going to report

1:32:00

50% drop in

1:32:02

advertising, five zero.

1:32:06

And this is your recession coming. And

1:32:10

the funniest news of all was

1:32:13

crooked media. These

1:32:15

are the guys who do Pod Save America.

1:32:18

Yeah, and why would you call yourself

1:32:21

crooked media? Who

1:32:24

cares? It's ironic maybe,

1:32:26

or it's like, ha ha ha, it's

1:32:28

funny. I think they have 70 or

1:32:31

80 people working on these

1:32:33

shows. I know Pod Save America,

1:32:36

Pod Save the UK, love

1:32:38

it or leave it, never heard that one. And

1:32:43

they now signed with the Writers Guild of

1:32:45

America East. And

1:32:48

listen to this, starting

1:32:50

salary, $80,000. 49

1:32:53

days paid time off. You

1:32:56

imagine that, wouldn't that be nice? 49

1:32:58

days paid time off is like, what are

1:33:00

these? Is this a European idea? Even only

1:33:03

the French, they don't even have 40, the

1:33:06

French take, the rich French take off on Bastille

1:33:08

day and then they take off the entire month

1:33:10

to August. Everybody takes, but that's only 45 days.

1:33:14

If maternity leave

1:33:16

20 weeks, 20 weeks. And

1:33:23

it has to be paid for. Yes, they're

1:33:25

gonna go out of business. That's

1:33:29

impossible to do in podcasting. I just don't

1:33:31

believe that they can make it happen. Especially

1:33:33

with the staffs that they have. They have

1:33:35

way too many people producing these shows. They

1:33:38

got writers and producers and engineers. And they'll

1:33:40

pay $955 a month towards health insurance. Which

1:33:46

is low. Minimum 13 weeks

1:33:48

of severance. Guaranteed

1:33:52

12 hour minimum rest time

1:33:54

between end of work and next

1:33:56

day start cell phone stipend, commuting

1:33:58

reimbursement, working. I'm going to go to

1:34:00

work for them. Yes. Hello.

1:34:03

Hi. We want to join crooked

1:34:05

media. Instead

1:34:10

we don't really want to do that. We love what we

1:34:12

do and we love our trucks and we love our artists.

1:34:14

That's one of the primary

1:34:16

time and talent measures that we

1:34:18

look at of people supporting the show.

1:34:20

We have many

1:34:23

professional artists, many of

1:34:25

them are, well, I think all of them are Dutch

1:34:27

masters. You know, I was

1:34:29

thinking about all the AI art and

1:34:32

I realized that, you

1:34:34

know, AI create, it can

1:34:36

create art, but I'd

1:34:39

like someone to type into the prompt,

1:34:41

create a funny image based

1:34:44

on this exchange from the show. See

1:34:47

that is what is missing from AI. It

1:34:50

can't make up funny stuff

1:34:52

yet. No,

1:34:54

please. You

1:34:57

know how many people send me end of show

1:35:00

mixes? Listen, this great song I made and I'd

1:35:02

look at it and like, okay, you listen like

1:35:04

right away. It's a professional sounding song. This AI,

1:35:08

it's not funny if it's not a cover. If

1:35:10

it's not a parody, it's

1:35:12

almost never funny. It's just a song

1:35:14

and you fed it some lyrics and

1:35:16

you hear the auto tune. It's like, yeah, okay.

1:35:20

It's never a hit. It's

1:35:22

never a hit. Yet. Well,

1:35:27

when it gets to that point, I

1:35:31

had to love nothing more to not have to show

1:35:33

up, John, I'm telling you, but I just don't believe

1:35:35

it's true. I don't think that AI. No, I understand

1:35:37

your position. And do you think that AI

1:35:40

can't do what we do yet? Uh,

1:35:46

yeah, exactly. Well,

1:35:51

I'd say it a thousand years from now. Okay.

1:35:56

We want to thank Sir Shug, AKA Foe

1:35:58

Diddley for. bringing us the artwork for episode

1:36:01

1686. We titled that

1:36:03

public hole, something our

1:36:06

dear friend Dr. Tedros said. There was, I

1:36:08

think, a veterinarian. And

1:36:10

this was Kamala's cackle. Now with more

1:36:12

PBA. It's the candy that all the

1:36:15

kids are crazy about. Kamala's cackle. It

1:36:17

was good. It was a typical no

1:36:19

agenda packet shot. 333

1:36:21

calories. It

1:36:23

had it all in there. And

1:36:26

I don't know if, I don't think this was

1:36:29

AI. It looks like Photoshop to me. I can

1:36:31

see the anomalies

1:36:33

in the cackle. So

1:36:36

actual work was done, which we do always

1:36:38

appreciate. Let's take a

1:36:40

look at some of the other artwork that was submitted. We

1:36:44

did talk for a second about Darren O'Neill's no

1:36:47

agenda airport, everybody be nice. Again,

1:36:51

stop with the Biden and the

1:36:55

Kamala heads. We're not gonna choose it.

1:36:58

Especially when it doesn't even look like them.

1:37:00

I liked Sloth Fever, but we didn't really

1:37:02

talk about Sloth Fever. Yeah,

1:37:04

we did. I didn't like it. No, we

1:37:06

didn't talk about Sloth Fever on the show. That

1:37:10

was a Nest works. No, we did. We

1:37:12

did. Briefly, very briefly. We

1:37:14

mentioned it. It was a very short bit.

1:37:16

You know, and you get like Matthew Droppko

1:37:18

uploading a whole bunch of Walt's

1:37:21

interviewing Harris. No, no, it's just

1:37:23

slick art because AI did it.

1:37:26

But there's no comedy to

1:37:28

it. There's no

1:37:30

comedy. This

1:37:32

is the problem. And I think

1:37:35

that a lot of artists, good artists become

1:37:37

gun shy like, oh, well, I could never

1:37:39

create something that good looking. We put poop

1:37:41

looking art up there if it's funny. It

1:37:45

doesn't have to be perfectly slickly

1:37:47

done. Back

1:37:50

me up here. I totally agree

1:37:52

with it. If

1:37:54

it's a sketch

1:37:57

done by hand that is funny. And

1:38:01

has some, and has dimensionality, which is my

1:38:03

thing, which is you gotta have some references

1:38:05

to 33 and all the other stuff

1:38:07

that goes on, you know, on the

1:38:09

show in general, ITM. Yeah. Then

1:38:12

we're good to go with it. But

1:38:14

yeah, the slick stuff is all AI

1:38:17

created, but it's, as we said it

1:38:19

before, it's soulless mostly. And

1:38:21

that's why Darren O'Neil often

1:38:24

wins with AI because

1:38:26

Darren understands comedy. He

1:38:28

understands what's funny. Well, also

1:38:30

we asked Darren to show us his

1:38:33

prompts on one of the art pieces

1:38:35

he did. He sent us an email

1:38:37

showing every prompt he

1:38:39

did, every piece that came out of it,

1:38:41

it went on and on. He spends as

1:38:43

much time prompting the

1:38:45

AI art generator to

1:38:48

produce what he wants than if he did it

1:38:50

by hand. Which actually means that we should have

1:38:52

a lot more really good art, because we have

1:38:54

a lot of funny producers out there who

1:38:57

can't do art at all. But

1:38:59

no, instead it's like Kamala eating an

1:39:01

ice cream cone. Okay. No.

1:39:06

And Dropco, Dropco is funny, he

1:39:08

has humor. And

1:39:11

then he brings us this. I mean,

1:39:13

I love Dropco, he's won recently, but,

1:39:15

you know, Tim

1:39:17

Rogers' neighborhood, no. No,

1:39:20

it's just not funny. It's

1:39:22

hard, humor is hard. It's

1:39:25

very hard. And

1:39:28

right now I can tell you I see nothing.

1:39:32

I see nothing. Correct.

1:39:35

But we thank you very much, Fo

1:39:38

Diddley, Sir Shug, for your

1:39:40

contribution, your wonderful value

1:39:42

that you have provided us. You

1:39:45

can provide value in time, talent, and treasure.

1:39:48

If you're confused about the concept, value

1:39:51

number four, value.info, it's a pretty

1:39:53

good write-up. Been doing this

1:39:55

for a long, long time. So long, in fact, that

1:39:57

other people think they've come up with it. It's

1:40:00

amazing how often I hear that yeah, man,

1:40:02

it's a Bitcoin thing. No, no,

1:40:05

it's not it's from this show and

1:40:09

it did I went back and listened to some

1:40:11

of our early shows and I Think

1:40:15

I did would know that we we came up

1:40:17

with a model very early on of Just

1:40:20

send us whatever it's worth to you. That's how

1:40:22

we positioned it You know, you're listening to

1:40:24

the show you're getting some value out of it

1:40:27

If you'd like more of it, then provide that

1:40:29

value back. That's how simple it is But

1:40:32

it was in fact around episode 160.

1:40:34

I think that I

1:40:37

had read Atlas shrugged Took

1:40:40

a month and read Atlas shrug less

1:40:42

Shrugged and that's where and that's where

1:40:44

the value for value came from from

1:40:47

something in that book So

1:40:50

if anything I and Rand get some credit but

1:40:52

the model itself And

1:40:54

the feedback loop of thanking people

1:40:56

for the for producing the show

1:40:58

not calling you listeners or fans

1:41:00

Insulting you with that instead calling

1:41:02

you producers, which you really are

1:41:06

I mean, here's an example Rob

1:41:08

the constitutional lawyer He

1:41:12

sent me a note He

1:41:14

said he loved he loved

1:41:17

your Yula idea

1:41:19

of having a minor

1:41:21

sign a Yula And

1:41:24

he added to it. Yeah, I'll read it for the day JCD's

1:41:28

legal hack with minors is

1:41:30

gold in most jurisdictions.

1:41:32

It's even better than he knows Miners

1:41:35

can indeed sign contracts, but

1:41:38

only the miners can enforce

1:41:40

them So if Disney were

1:41:42

to try to enforce a Yula signed by a

1:41:44

minor the minor can walk away But

1:41:46

if Disney were to breach a provision in

1:41:49

the Yula the minor can pounce with both

1:41:51

feet In other words,

1:41:53

the contract isn't void per se

1:41:55

but voidable at the miners sole

1:41:57

option How

1:42:00

about that? Yeah. Learn

1:42:04

something new every day. That's a good one. Yeah.

1:42:07

Exactly. Production. Producers.

1:42:10

We have more than, we have more than crooked

1:42:12

media. Make sure your kids sign those Ulysses. That's

1:42:14

right. We have

1:42:16

more producers than crooked media. But

1:42:19

don't you dare get pregnant. We have more producers than Paramount.

1:42:23

Don't you dare get pregnant because you're

1:42:25

not getting 20 weeks paid off at

1:42:27

all. And

1:42:30

now we'd like to thank our executive

1:42:32

and associate executive producers. Now these are

1:42:34

the producers who come in and really

1:42:36

saved the day. In fact, many of

1:42:38

them were at the Albany meetup. Otherwise,

1:42:40

Sad Puppy would have been crawling all

1:42:42

over this thing today. Well, the Sad

1:42:44

Puppy should have been out anyway, but

1:42:46

the meetup did save the day. But

1:42:48

I want to compliment Steve, the recalcitrant

1:42:50

knight. He organized it? Who

1:42:52

organizes. He does all the meetups over on the

1:42:54

East Bay. And he did a tremendous

1:42:56

job. And then I was talking to Mimi about it because we

1:42:58

had about at least 40 people maybe more considering

1:43:02

the last time we did the Mallard

1:43:04

Club was like 12 people. Nobody showed

1:43:07

up. It was very low. And so

1:43:09

then I noticed that Mimi read his

1:43:11

plea and he used the guilt sales

1:43:15

pitch. Oh really? Really? Good

1:43:17

job. What did he do? To

1:43:20

guilt everybody. He didn't know it. I don't think

1:43:22

he knew what he was up to. He was just doing it naturally. He

1:43:24

does a great job. I like this guy. And

1:43:27

so he guilted everyone saying, John, nobody

1:43:29

showed up last time and Adam's getting

1:43:31

hundreds of people and we love John

1:43:33

and everyone looks like they hate him.

1:43:36

He goes, wow. And

1:43:39

I'm thinking that. And so then we had

1:43:41

a big crowd and not only that, but

1:43:43

they were generous. This was not a minor

1:43:45

amount of money. This is probably the one

1:43:48

of the most per

1:43:50

head, I think is probably the highest we've ever done. One

1:43:53

of the most generous meetups in a while. So

1:43:56

that was a big deal. The way it works.

1:43:59

Go ahead. Well, I'm just

1:44:01

saying that I just wanted to thank Steven. I hope he

1:44:03

got his bottle of Pinot Noir out of this. There's that

1:44:06

the guy didn't forget to give it to him. So

1:44:09

the way it works is if you donate $200 to an

1:44:12

episode of the show or

1:44:14

above, you become an associate executive producer.

1:44:17

It's a real credit. You can use

1:44:19

this anywhere show business credits are recognized.

1:44:21

You can use it anywhere you want,

1:44:23

but it will be accepted anywhere, including

1:44:25

IMDB dot com. If you don't have

1:44:27

a production account, you

1:44:29

can open one up and go ahead

1:44:32

and go search for no agenda. See how many executive

1:44:34

and associate executive producers there are. Also, we'll

1:44:36

read your note. Three hundred dollars or above.

1:44:38

We'll read your note. And you are an

1:44:40

executive producer. And that at the top of

1:44:42

the list, we have Ben Nidus from San

1:44:45

Francisco who came in with

1:44:47

six hundred and twenty two

1:44:49

dollars equivalents. I believe he

1:44:52

gave you gold and silver. He

1:44:55

had a little piece of gold, but it

1:44:57

was a chunk. He bought this from a

1:44:59

metal exchange, a big piece,

1:45:01

a giant piece of silver. Nice

1:45:04

five ounces. Yeah,

1:45:06

it was a big chunk of silver. And so

1:45:08

you have to I don't know what we're going

1:45:10

to do. How are we going to get that

1:45:12

into the bank? But I have it. What the

1:45:15

bank won't accept silver. What is this nonsense? Yeah,

1:45:17

it's California. They don't accept. They will accept gold.

1:45:20

I think they have a little scale there. You

1:45:22

can drop it off. Well, he gave us five

1:45:24

grams of gold and five ounces of silver to

1:45:26

make him the Duke of San Francisco. And and

1:45:29

I appreciate that. I often have to

1:45:31

correct people about the value for value

1:45:33

model. And you're you'll

1:45:35

be if you use PayPal or Stripe, you

1:45:38

will be vulnerable. No, people send us check.

1:45:40

Was it 40 percent checks? Is

1:45:43

that high? Is that too high? That's way

1:45:45

too high. I thought it was up there. And

1:45:48

it's well, I'm not an amount, but I can

1:45:50

do the calculation in my head. And I will

1:45:52

tell you that it is probably it's close to

1:45:54

30 percent, 30, 25 to 30 percent. And

1:45:57

it's it's almost no fee. Fifteen cents.

1:46:00

processing for us, you can send the directly from your

1:46:02

bank account in the US, of course. Uh,

1:46:04

and it's appreciated. I mean, some of these processing

1:46:07

fees are getting pretty high. Four

1:46:10

or five, six bucks. Thanks Biden. No

1:46:12

processing fees with a silver ingot. No.

1:46:17

All right. So Ben, you will be, uh,

1:46:20

up to Duke of San Francisco. Thank you,

1:46:22

sir. Yeah. In

1:46:24

fact, I, I'm glad he sent me a note about that.

1:46:26

Cause I got confused. I, who gave

1:46:28

me the silver. And I was going

1:46:30

to almost credit Steve with it. Oh

1:46:32

no. Oh no. Steve

1:46:35

did give me a book though. Sir, Edamis

1:46:38

Quiv, Quiv, Quiv, Quiv, Quiv,

1:46:40

Quiv, Quiv, Quiv, Quiv, Quivi,

1:46:43

Eternus Quieve, Eternus

1:46:45

Quieve. In

1:46:48

Laredo he's 350. Uh, why

1:46:51

does nobody talk about American Airlines

1:46:53

and their relationship to an immigration

1:46:56

surge? We've talked about

1:46:58

it. A lot. A lot.

1:47:01

Not against it, but there's a

1:47:03

distinction in nationalities that benefit from

1:47:05

the shadow program versus

1:47:07

people who travel with infants at times

1:47:09

by foot train, horrific conditions. If we

1:47:11

need to expand the labor force, let's

1:47:14

put it all on the table. Mexico's

1:47:16

new president speaks English fluently. Can we

1:47:18

work together toward a future that actually

1:47:20

makes sense? Why does our neighbor and

1:47:23

trade partner continue to have such a

1:47:25

large wealth gap 350

1:47:29

bucks. Thank you very much for that donation and message.

1:47:32

Dr. Don Marotta Cupertino, California came

1:47:34

to the meetup 333.69. Dame

1:47:39

Audra and I love giving and

1:47:41

receiving value for value. This, that's

1:47:44

all that it is. Giving, receiving.

1:47:46

Thank you. Beautiful, beautiful note.

1:47:48

Beautiful donation. Appreciate it.

1:47:52

I will mention that a lot of

1:47:54

people came to the meetup and they

1:47:56

either handed off some money and they

1:47:59

didn't have the envelope. with a note or anything

1:48:01

so they're not going to get any credit because I

1:48:03

didn't couldn't keep track of who they were. But

1:48:06

everybody else is on the spreadsheet. So

1:48:09

I want to thank everybody for helping us out there on that

1:48:11

meetup. That was a good meetup. TK

1:48:14

Gustafsson in Wasilla,

1:48:17

Alaska, 33333. Greetings,

1:48:19

gents. TK Gustafsson.

1:48:22

Gustafsson. Gustafsson. Gustafsson.

1:48:26

Gustafsson. I've

1:48:28

hit every show since the first Rogan and thought

1:48:30

it was time to bring my douchebaggery to an end.

1:48:33

I think we can dedouche him.

1:48:37

You've been dedouched. For

1:48:42

the last month or so y'all been tiptoeing around the

1:48:44

name I think you've been looking for with Harris and

1:48:46

I just can't believe it hasn't come out yet. I

1:48:49

do believe the name you're looking

1:48:52

for is Kakala. I

1:48:54

hope this helps. Please dedouche me which we

1:48:57

just did and it's not too much trouble.

1:49:00

Hassel bugs. I like the bugs jingle

1:49:02

and Reverend Al of your choosing and
