1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,860
Why are we spending money?

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,980
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:04,380
DeVora.

4
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:06,180
It's Sunday, November 10, 2024.

5
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,720
This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1711.

6
00:00:11,180 --> 00:00:12,800
This is no agenda.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,220
Dusting off the DMZ and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA Region No.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,640
6.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,740
In the morning, everybody.

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,880
I'm Adam Curry.

11
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:31,560
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've all concluded that the worst television show in the history of television is the masked singer.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,400
I'm John C.

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,840
DeVorak.

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,780
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

15
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:35,960
In the morning.

16
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:37,980
Well, I'm glad you prepped that one.

17
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,900
You don't actually watch that drivel, do you?

18
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,340
I can't watch it.

19
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:42,900
Here's the...

20
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:44,720
Let me give you my imitation of the show.

21
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:46,840
Here's that Chinese gay guy.

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,260
Oh, my God.

23
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:50,220
Here is Jenny McCarthy.

24
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,680
Oh, my God.

25
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:54,080
And here's the other person that's on the show.

26
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,100
Oh, my God.

27
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:55,980
That's it.

28
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,260
That's the show.

29
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640
How come these people never say, oh, my Satan?

30
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
It's always interesting to me.

31
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,080
Well, they wouldn't let that happen.

32
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,160
No, they wouldn't let that happen.

33
00:01:05,260 --> 00:01:07,780
Hey, friend of the show checked in.

34
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:12,480
As you know, the mainstream media is calling this the podcast election.

35
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:16,440
It is the podcast election.

36
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Go podcasting.

37
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,600
And friend of the show checks in.

38
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:21,780
Nigel Farage.

39
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,100
A big shout out for Adam Curry and John C.

40
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,500
DeVorak.

41
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,600
I'll tell you what, the podcast world is really happening.

42
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,300
There's of course is no agenda and we've just had the podcast election.

43
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:34,020
That probably in the end is what got Trump over the line.

44
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,040
And unlike legacy media, these guys present heavy stuff.

45
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:41,100
Very, very light and very, very accessible.

46
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:46,240
And yeah, good luck, guys, because I tell you what, everything is changing so blooming quickly.

47
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,500
It is amazing.

48
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,580
The power of the podcast.

49
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,400
How about that, huh?

50
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:52,820
Yeah, who's John C.

51
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,400
DeVorak?

52
00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:55,500
Well, that's just how he pronounced it.

53
00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:05,380
This was producer Paul in the Netherlands, hopped on Cameo and paid for Nigel Farage to do that for us.

54
00:02:07,850 --> 00:02:09,610
I don't want to make of it.

55
00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:10,450
I think that.

56
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:11,050
Thanks, Paul.

57
00:02:11,290 --> 00:02:11,470
Yeah.

58
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:17,030
I wonder if it has any subconscious effect on Nigel Farage where he'll remember the no agenda show.

59
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:19,850
Maybe he'll blurt it out in some situation.

60
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:20,870
He'll be donating.

61
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:21,530
He'll be.

62
00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:24,190
He'll be donating.

63
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:25,550
I think this is great.

64
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:27,290
We should have all kinds of friends of the show.

65
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:30,530
I still want Kenny G, but he's a high ticket item.

66
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:32,150
No, he's too expensive.

67
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:38,570
He buys all his albums tenfold over and for less money.

68
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:40,570
And I think in future.

69
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:42,170
Would you get an impersonator?

70
00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:44,890
No, no, I like the real.

71
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:46,130
It's video, by the way.

72
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:48,950
I'm going to post it on the socials.

73
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:51,210
There's video of Farage doing this.

74
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:51,890
Oh, good.

75
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:52,890
I can repost it.

76
00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:53,810
I'm going to tweet it.

77
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:54,110
Yeah.

78
00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:54,550
Oh, yeah.

79
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:56,070
Yeah, you should tweet that, baby.

80
00:02:56,530 --> 00:02:57,590
No, I think it's great.

81
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:59,350
We need all kinds of friends of the show.

82
00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:02,590
Since you can buy him for $50.

83
00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:04,410
Yes, a new FOS segment.

84
00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:06,090
Friend of the show.

85
00:03:06,350 --> 00:03:07,490
It's the best ever.

86
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:13,710
Well, let me just stick with the with the with the podcast selection so we can get it out of the way.

87
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:21,350
And by the way, I'm with you that that may be a little bit overblown, but the more the mainstream media talks about it.

88
00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:24,070
Overblown, to say the least.

89
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:28,290
The more M5M talks about it, the more true it becomes.

90
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:29,750
That's what's so great about it.

91
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:30,730
This is that.

92
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:31,950
Yeah, that's how it works.

93
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:32,610
I like it.

94
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:34,650
They're digging their own grave.

95
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:40,950
So here's CBC on the podcast selection with a fabulous American lady from Vox.

96
00:03:41,170 --> 00:03:44,970
Rebecca Jennings is a senior correspondent covering online culture for Vox.

97
00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:45,750
Rebecca, good morning.

98
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:46,650
Good morning.

99
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:48,710
We heard Dana White name some names there.

100
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:56,550
When we are talking about these podcasters and influencers who are shaking up the political ecosystem, who are the big players?

101
00:03:57,470 --> 00:03:58,070
Isn't this?

102
00:03:58,290 --> 00:04:00,690
This is shaking things up, baby.

103
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:02,930
Yeah, I think they kind of named them, right?

104
00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:11,410
It's like Joe Rogan, obviously, like the king of this kind of content that appeals to young men who are, you know, just asking questions and are curious about, you know, alternative media.

105
00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:16,190
And I have to stop because you will hear this lady do an analysis.

106
00:04:17,149 --> 00:04:21,310
I know more women that listen to the Joe Rogan podcast than I do men.

107
00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:24,470
It is she is so wrong about this.

108
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:27,390
This is the stereotype, this stereotyping.

109
00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:31,310
This is bad journalism.

110
00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:32,010
Yeah, there you go.

111
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:33,050
That's what we're looking for.

112
00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:35,470
That's the word, bad journalism.

113
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:39,750
Jovan, he's a podcaster, former reality star, just like kind of a comedian guy.

114
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:42,530
Aiden Ross is, you know, a Twitch streamer.

115
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:47,410
The Nelk boys are these kind of YouTube pranksters.

116
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:53,050
They're very similar to like the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul, who people are probably also familiar with.

117
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:53,430
They're very.

118
00:04:53,630 --> 00:04:54,490
Oh, my God.

119
00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:55,290
Oh, my God.

120
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:56,690
Local fry.

121
00:04:56,970 --> 00:05:02,050
I think the more she talks crap, the more the fry gets turned up in her case.

122
00:05:02,110 --> 00:05:07,430
They're very similar to like the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul, who people are probably also familiar with.

123
00:05:07,490 --> 00:05:08,330
They're very into it.

124
00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:16,010
Boxing and pranking and these kind of just like outlandish, distasteful.

125
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:20,150
Well, what's happening here is so she she's from Vox.

126
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:22,530
She's a journalist, you know, she's professional.

127
00:05:22,930 --> 00:05:23,790
You know, it's done.

128
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:26,430
She's her next stop is NPR.

129
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:31,170
So we have to discredit all of this.

130
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:33,070
Theo Vaughn is just a comedian.

131
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:36,870
Joe Roan, just a bit of the young guys, fighters, mushrooms.

132
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:39,670
And they've never watched.

133
00:05:39,770 --> 00:05:46,590
They've never watched any serious discussion that any of these pranksters have had with anybody of any stature.

134
00:05:46,990 --> 00:05:56,210
This is the bias that exists amongst people who were just biased and never have even decided to have a look.

135
00:05:57,590 --> 00:06:03,890
You know, when you're talking to, OK, not my I'm just an example, but you're talking to.

136
00:06:05,030 --> 00:06:06,870
What's his face from the two brothers?

137
00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:10,950
With the you know, the guy who has the podcast with Heather, with Heather.

138
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:13,890
Oh, Weinstein.

139
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:14,570
Yeah, Weinstein.

140
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:16,730
That's not a prankster episode.

141
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:25,270
Joe Rogan has scientists and, you know, psychologists and all kinds of people on the show.

142
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:27,930
It's not pranking, fighting nonsense.

143
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:33,150
This woman has never even watched the Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn or any of these shows.

144
00:06:33,750 --> 00:06:34,270
Boxing.

145
00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:38,370
And by the way, Theo Vaughn is about as far away from.

146
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:43,830
Prankster ism or even comedy you can get.

147
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:48,770
Well, he is a stand up comic, but the show is not about stand up comedy.

148
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:51,650
Yeah, it's it's it's baffling.

149
00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:54,010
Very into like boxing.

150
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:56,170
She's going to her voice is going to crack.

151
00:06:56,630 --> 00:07:04,770
And pranking and these kind of just like outlandish, distasteful videos where where they kind of like poke back at mainstream culture.

152
00:07:05,370 --> 00:07:06,070
How popular?

153
00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:08,710
I mean, Joe Rogan is the most popular podcaster in the world.

154
00:07:08,810 --> 00:07:11,630
Beyond that, how popular are are these people?

155
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:12,590
I love this.

156
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:18,230
There's no actual factual chart of numbers that people can compare one to the other.

157
00:07:19,190 --> 00:07:24,950
Maybe advertising companies have some kind of idea, but still there's no one place.

158
00:07:25,050 --> 00:07:26,650
There's no Nielsen's for podcasting.

159
00:07:26,690 --> 00:07:28,230
But OK, Vox later later.

160
00:07:28,630 --> 00:07:31,850
I mean, these are all really, really, really recognizable faces to.

161
00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:36,270
Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, truly, really recognizable faces.

162
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:39,830
They're all really, really, really recognizable faces to to most young people.

163
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:44,590
They are influencers with millions and millions of followers on many different platforms.

164
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:47,370
They are like kind of omnipresent online figures.

165
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:48,290
So, yeah, they're very popular.

166
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:55,730
But I think to a lot of people that are not in those same algorithms, like older people or women, they might have no idea who these people are.

167
00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:57,890
And because your algorithm looks completely different.

168
00:07:58,170 --> 00:07:59,970
How do we get into these algorithms?

169
00:08:00,810 --> 00:08:02,410
We got to slip into someone's algorithm.

170
00:08:02,590 --> 00:08:06,050
This has nothing to do with talking about nothing to do with algorithms.

171
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:10,970
You're like, oh, they're only popping because in the algorithm is slipping to be old people that very you're an old person.

172
00:08:12,010 --> 00:08:16,050
Confusing TikTok with YouTube with podcasters.

173
00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:17,710
Yes, yes.

174
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:19,310
Every she doesn't know.

175
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:24,270
So in other words, just to summarize, she doesn't know what she's talking about.

176
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:24,710
Correct.

177
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:28,770
Yet she is brought on as the expert on CBC, no less.

178
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:29,970
What is it that ties them together?

179
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:31,590
Because they're all doing different things, right?

180
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:36,990
Like the the the the the the what just happened there?

181
00:08:39,289 --> 00:08:40,130
He lost.

182
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:41,429
What is it that ties them together?

183
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:43,010
Because they're all doing different things, right?

184
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:48,950
Like Joe Rogan is living in his head rent-free right now.

185
00:08:49,250 --> 00:08:52,830
The material that they are producing, the content they're producing is not the same across the board.

186
00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:53,870
Yeah, totally.

187
00:08:54,050 --> 00:09:02,490
I think what ties them together is that like these are young men, with the exception of Joe Rogan, who are like, they're often in groups of men and they're just like having fun together.

188
00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:04,670
And I think that whole is really- Stop it.

189
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:11,670
So she's just completely discounting Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper, Sophia with an F.

190
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:22,850
And I won't say, I use the phrase, but a ton load of female podcasters that talk about sex mostly, or other things.

191
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,670
There's a ton of them, ton.

192
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:25,250
Tons.

193
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:30,990
She doesn't recognize, it's all a bunch of young guys except for old man Joe Rogan.

194
00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:34,350
Old man Joe, he's the exception over there.

195
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:34,870
Old Joe.

196
00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:38,670
In groups of men, and they're just like having fun together.

197
00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:43,830
And I think that pole is really, really strong for a lot of men who feel kind of lonely and left behind.

198
00:09:44,170 --> 00:09:45,890
Oh, they're lonely and left behind.

199
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:47,410
Yeah, lonely.

200
00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:51,010
I'm so lonely, I need to watch Joe Rogan, I'm left behind.

201
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:53,950
For a lot of men who feel kind of lonely and left behind.

202
00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:56,970
And they are not explicitly political people.

203
00:09:57,070 --> 00:10:03,490
I think a lot of those men would kind of not really consider themselves very political with the exception of like their Trump endorsements.

204
00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:12,550
But like, mostly they make content that's about video games or sports or pop culture or anything like outside of- That's your publication, young lady.

205
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:14,590
That's Vox, that's all Vox does.

206
00:10:15,150 --> 00:10:18,510
What is this nonsense of video game, pop culture?

207
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:20,010
No, there's nothing in here.

208
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,010
Maybe old man Joe.

209
00:10:22,450 --> 00:10:26,950
Video games or sports or pop culture or anything like outside of politics.

210
00:10:27,090 --> 00:10:31,630
But then, you know, these kind of issues like leak into their content.

211
00:10:32,490 --> 00:10:35,670
Is the audience, not exclusively men, but is it mostly men?

212
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:46,570
There was polling that was done before the election and people are, you know, kind of sifting through the details of the exit polls, showing that men and women 18 to 24 were more likely to identify as conservative.

213
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:50,110
Are women listening to those podcasts in numbers?

214
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:59,090
Yeah, I think it's possible, but I think generally with at least these kind of guys, these are very- Wait, what kind of reporting is this?

215
00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:00,490
I don't know, I think it's possible.

216
00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:01,630
I don't know.

217
00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:07,210
I mean, I'm pretty sure it's young boys who feel lonely, but it's possible that you think it's women.

218
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:07,830
I don't know.

219
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:18,490
Yeah, I think it's possible, but I think generally with at least these kind of guys, like these are very much targeting, you know, teen boys and men in their 20s.

220
00:11:18,910 --> 00:11:34,210
Like this is kind of the demographic that Trump like pretty like targeted with his media campaign when he went on all these podcasts and YouTube shows where, you know, he talked to these kinds of guys that like are reaching this audience that the mainstream media just isn't.

221
00:11:34,210 --> 00:11:36,890
Is that, you're not reaching anybody.

222
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:47,410
Okay, so- This is a complete, it's as though she's a spook misdirecting everybody.

223
00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:51,430
This whole thing that everything she said was bull crap.

224
00:11:51,530 --> 00:11:52,550
I hadn't thought about that.

225
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:54,870
Yeah, I know, yeah, no, yeah.

226
00:11:55,150 --> 00:12:00,250
Here's, so there's a very famous YouTuber, not the same as a podcaster.

227
00:12:00,410 --> 00:12:01,790
I need to point this out.

228
00:12:02,210 --> 00:12:05,350
He's not in the podcast apps, doesn't have an RSS feed, he's a YouTuber.

229
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:06,770
Yeah, YouTuber.

230
00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:08,250
YouTuber, David Pakman.

231
00:12:08,830 --> 00:12:10,770
Has a three, four- He's been around.

232
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:17,850
Yeah, three, four million subscribers to his- He used to be on, where's David Pakman?

233
00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:19,590
It used to be the David Pakman Show.

234
00:12:19,710 --> 00:12:21,690
It used to be one of his- It's the David Pakman Show, that's his show.

235
00:12:21,690 --> 00:12:25,110
And it used to be shown on one of the cable channels.

236
00:12:25,210 --> 00:12:25,610
Oh, really?

237
00:12:25,690 --> 00:12:27,430
He's a young guy, relatively young guy.

238
00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:32,050
It was like there was a cable channel that had all this, it just had a bunch of weird stuff.

239
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:33,570
It's like what we wanted to do.

240
00:12:33,610 --> 00:12:34,370
Yeah, I was gonna say.

241
00:12:34,370 --> 00:12:34,910
And still do, by the way.

242
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:37,030
I was gonna say, it's what our idea was.

243
00:12:37,570 --> 00:12:38,310
It's our idea.

244
00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:38,750
It's our idea.

245
00:12:38,770 --> 00:12:45,310
And they had David Pakman was on this network, and he was just, you know, he was an okay guy.

246
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:46,570
He's a left-wing guy.

247
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:48,190
Yeah, he's totally left-wing.

248
00:12:48,490 --> 00:12:48,590
Left-wing.

249
00:12:48,770 --> 00:12:52,070
He followed, his show followed Amy Goodman.

250
00:12:52,650 --> 00:12:53,110
Oh, really?

251
00:12:53,710 --> 00:12:57,330
And Tom Hartman was another one, on the same network.

252
00:12:57,550 --> 00:12:59,130
Oh, what was that network again?

253
00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:00,730
That wasn't Air America, was it?

254
00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:05,750
No, no, it was like Free Speech TV, or something like that.

255
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:06,550
Was that on Pluto?

256
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:11,030
No, no, this was on, I saw it, I had it on a cable system.

257
00:13:11,150 --> 00:13:11,870
I think it was on Dish.

258
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:16,970
And it was, I think it was called, I think it was Free Speech TV, FSTV.

259
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:25,430
And it was running during our early episodes of No Agenda, probably 12 years ago.

260
00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:26,270
Oh, okay, that's a long time.

261
00:13:26,270 --> 00:13:32,970
I remember getting clips of Tom Hartman all the time, because he would, at one point- What happened to Thom?

262
00:13:33,130 --> 00:13:34,010
What happened to Thom?

263
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:35,750
He's on the radio still.

264
00:13:36,370 --> 00:13:48,610
But he was, at one point, this was about, again, 12 years ago, he was doing the daily smog report with the particular parts per million in the atmosphere in different cities, as though this was a weather report.

265
00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:49,350
Oh, we're going to die.

266
00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:50,190
I'm going to die.

267
00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:53,310
Well, not Thom, but David Pakman.

268
00:13:54,330 --> 00:13:56,110
And this is very telling.

269
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:58,550
So we have the rise of the podcasters.

270
00:13:59,190 --> 00:14:03,770
Old Joe, Old Joe and Prankster Theo.

271
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:09,070
Meanwhile, bad things are happening over in lefty YouTube land.

272
00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:12,250
I'm going to tell you something that is terrifying me.

273
00:14:12,450 --> 00:14:12,970
Terrifying.

274
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:20,430
I always try to come here and put a positive face on everything, but there is something going on that is terrifying me.

275
00:14:21,130 --> 00:14:28,030
When I woke up this morning, we had lost 5,000 YouTube subscribers.

276
00:14:28,570 --> 00:14:30,550
Compared to where we were last night.

277
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:34,290
Now, the first thing I thought was, is this a glitch?

278
00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:38,750
We've been on YouTube for 15 years or something like that.

279
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:42,650
And subscribers always just go up.

280
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:44,510
They just never go down.

281
00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:45,230
They go up.

282
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:47,410
Is something wrong with my channel?

283
00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:49,190
Is someone attacking my channel?

284
00:14:49,290 --> 00:14:50,030
What's going on?

285
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:51,710
So I started texting.

286
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:54,450
So now I understand what is going on.

287
00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:56,130
It's terrifying, but it is happening.

288
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,510
A lot of people are checking out.

289
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:05,770
I heard anecdotally from a couple dozen people who said, you know, David, I just can't do it anymore.

290
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:07,490
I just can't do it.

291
00:15:08,050 --> 00:15:09,030
I'm checking out.

292
00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:09,870
I'm out.

293
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:27,670
And the reason that this is terrifying, not only because it puts everybody in left-wing media's livelihoods at stake and at risk, it terrifies me because our instinct is the opposite of what the right does.

294
00:15:28,050 --> 00:15:33,350
And we will get crushed if this is the way we respond to a defeat.

295
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:34,490
They're running away.

296
00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:35,370
They're giving up.

297
00:15:35,870 --> 00:15:36,950
They're capitulating.

298
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:39,770
They can't handle it.

299
00:15:39,770 --> 00:15:40,890
This doesn't sound right.

300
00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:46,170
Well, he called a- Let me just throw this at you.

301
00:15:47,490 --> 00:15:50,090
I'm a subscriber to something or other.

302
00:15:50,690 --> 00:15:52,810
And I just stopped listening to it.

303
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:55,870
I don't want to go unsubscribed to a YouTube channel.

304
00:15:56,010 --> 00:15:57,010
I've never done that.

305
00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,390
Well, that's the rage quit mentality.

306
00:16:00,170 --> 00:16:06,190
You know, it's like, well, you know, because I never watched David Pakman, but I'm sure he was telling them that Kamala's gonna win and she's fantastic.

307
00:16:07,150 --> 00:16:10,110
And he also mentioned that this was happening across the board.

308
00:16:10,250 --> 00:16:15,750
He texted a whole bunch of his other liberal, progressive YouTubers.

309
00:16:16,570 --> 00:16:29,070
Generally speaking, there's a bot filter that there's a sweep of bots that they, YouTube, Twitter, everybody does this.

310
00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:30,290
He suggested this.

311
00:16:30,510 --> 00:16:34,830
And he said, but a lot of the subscribers were paying subscribers.

312
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:39,290
You know, these days you can join on YouTube and then you can pay in X amount.

313
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:40,570
And so you get it without commercials.

314
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:42,230
And that's for that show specifically.

315
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:44,110
He said he lost those as well.

316
00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:45,950
So these were not just bots.

317
00:16:46,110 --> 00:16:47,070
It wasn't a sweep.

318
00:16:47,410 --> 00:16:49,450
He, you know, it's a very long episode.

319
00:16:49,450 --> 00:16:53,950
This is why I cut it out to get the headline, but it's not that they're leaving.

320
00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:56,840
We're good.

321
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,320
Hey, before I forget.

322
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:10,760
So on the last episode, I said the future of media is hyper-local and people should, if you want to do a podcast, don't try to be like old Joe, would just do a podcast for your town.

323
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:13,200
Holy smokes.

324
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,359
I have over 50 people saying, give me the primer.

325
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:17,180
How do I do it?

326
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:18,040
How do I get started?

327
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,880
I've never had that kind of response to anything.

328
00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:24,800
Well, Mimi's got the thing half written so you can just take it over.

329
00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:26,200
Well, I actually writ something.

330
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:27,480
I writ something.

331
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,860
I wrote something and I posted it.

332
00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:29,480
You writ something.

333
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:30,360
I'll send it over to you.

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:30,980
I writ something.

335
00:17:31,060 --> 00:17:31,960
Yeah, I'll send it over to Mimi.

336
00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:33,480
We should compare notes.

337
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:33,760
That's good.

338
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,860
We'll crank something out with it.

339
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,160
We'll have it done in 30 days.

340
00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:39,300
As long as I'm not doing it.

341
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,620
Another no agenda promise.

342
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,580
Where's our whiskey?

343
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Hey, I want to give you some props, like big props for correctly analyzing the situation.

344
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,500
I need to play one clip before it and then I'm just going to shower you with props.

345
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,820
You know, stage props, all kinds of lovely props, big, beautiful props, props.

346
00:18:02,660 --> 00:18:13,660
And I'll just play this a very quick clip because there's a lot of talk about Pelosi and what her role, because everyone's trying to blame everybody else.

347
00:18:13,820 --> 00:18:15,560
So, you know, what was her role?

348
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,480
Who did what?

349
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:23,820
And this is a very kind of chop job, 50 second clip of CBS.

350
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:32,620
Reports that it was Nancy Pelosi who orchestrated a coordinated effort to squeeze President Biden to drop out.

351
00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:38,220
Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside.

352
00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:44,660
Well, I've never shared any conversations with the President of the United States publicly, no.

353
00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:47,620
It's said that he's furious at you, is he?

354
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760
Well, he knows that I love him very much.

355
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:57,420
I understand that you don't want to own this, but it is so well reported that you were the leader of a pressure campaign.

356
00:18:57,620 --> 00:18:59,400
No, I wasn't a leader of any pressure campaign.

357
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,180
Let me say things that I didn't do.

358
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:02,560
I didn't call one person.

359
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,920
I never called anybody.

360
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:10,020
What I'm saying is I had confidence that the President would make the proper choice for our country, whatever that would be.

361
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:10,760
And I said that.

362
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Such a consequential President of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of President of the United States.

363
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:18,760
Want to know what comes next.

364
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,760
Are you really saying that he belongs up there, Lincoln and Joe Biden?

365
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:26,700
So Pelosi's out there, everyone's saying, no, I had nothing to do with this.

366
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,000
No, no, I didn't call anybody.

367
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,280
They might've called me, but I didn't call anybody.

368
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:36,560
And by the way, he should be on Mount Rushmore to shut him up because, you know, we got to cut Joe down, he's talking too much.

369
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,060
Now, to your theory about what happened with Biden and Harris in 20 seconds, go.

370
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Yeah, Biden was being forced to quit.

371
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,840
He didn't want to at first, but you had the insiders, namely Pelosi and Schumer and probably some others.

372
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:02,140
And then you had the outsiders, Axelrod and Carville, and they were attacking from outside.

373
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:12,580
And this was going on even immediately after the debate, Axelrod and Carville were just all over these MSNBC, CNN, telling him how he's got to go, he's got to quit.

374
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:13,620
He's got to go, he's got to quit.

375
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:15,200
So the pressure was all over Joe.

376
00:20:16,380 --> 00:20:23,340
Joe being, as some people would say, still sharp as a tack underneath his kind of mental disabilities.

377
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:28,560
And he's decided to throw a wrench in the works and said, okay, you're going to do that to me?

378
00:20:29,380 --> 00:20:31,020
I'm endorsing Kamala Harris.

379
00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:32,800
I quit and I'm endorsing Kamala Harris.

380
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,900
He put her right in play immediately.

381
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:46,320
And knowing that the Democrats were so caught up in identity politics and she was a woman of color and she was South Asian and black and a female, they couldn't say no to her.

382
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:59,980
So they had to, especially after bitching and moaning how she was the worst vice president ever, and they all did that, they threw her into the fray and they had to change gears and scramble around and make her the candidate.

383
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,660
She could have refused to do it, but she didn't.

384
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:09,500
John Morgan is a bundler for the Democrat party, which means he- Yeah, the lawyer in Florida.

385
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:10,740
The lawyer in Florida.

386
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,420
Good friends with Joe and he was interviewed locally.

387
00:21:16,020 --> 00:21:17,180
And listen to this.

388
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,420
Kamala Harris ended up taking over for Joe Biden.

389
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,780
I've seen you on Twitter.

390
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:24,340
Joe Biden's a friend of yours.

391
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,140
I know you guys have the same breed of dogs and you've hung out.

392
00:21:28,540 --> 00:21:33,320
Okay, so, but you were not a fan of how the Democrats handled pushing Joe out.

393
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,860
But you said at the end of the day, you called it jojitsu, the way it ended up.

394
00:21:37,860 --> 00:21:39,180
But I love that, explain that.

395
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Jojitsu, Joe didn't want to go.

396
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Joe's still pissed that he's gone.

397
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,740
Joe is pissed, and I'll show you on my phone.

398
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:50,000
I talked to her yesterday for an hour and a half.

399
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:56,960
Joe's pissed at Nancy Pelosi because he saw her as the reason.

400
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,720
And Joe said, you know what?

401
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:07,000
I don't think Nancy Pelosi wants Harris, so guess what?

402
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:08,560
Here you go.

403
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,660
Oh, oh, really?

404
00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:11,780
That's what I think.

405
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080
You're just going off opinion here.

406
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,660
Sort of.

407
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:16,660
Sort of.

408
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:18,300
Factual opinions.

409
00:22:18,660 --> 00:22:19,880
Factual, I like that.

410
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,560
I'm going to use that.

411
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Everything's based opinions.

412
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,760
Yeah, yeah.

413
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:28,000
Oh my gosh, it's so intriguing and it's just so interesting.

414
00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:28,960
He did it in a fit.

415
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,780
He did it on a Sunday morning, he did it in a fit.

416
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:32,200
Yeah.

417
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:34,700
And then he- It's like, here, take it.

418
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:35,220
Yes.

419
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:36,740
But he didn't mean it.

420
00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:48,040
He was mad, but he knew, listen, if he didn't do it, she was going to release, they were going to release 100 congressmen and women that were going to say, drop out.

421
00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:49,380
That were all going to go against him.

422
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:53,860
Look, she told Mike Donilon, she said, put Mike Donilon on the phone.

423
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,320
That's his speech guy.

424
00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:58,720
And she said, your numbers are wrong.

425
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:04,980
Don't forget, these people around him, money for them.

426
00:23:05,460 --> 00:23:09,120
Mike Donilon had a huge payout coming for the ad buy.

427
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,140
Anita Dunn was moving in and out of the White House.

428
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,800
Her husband was a lawyer.

429
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:17,060
Steve Ricchetti's brother's a lobbyist.

430
00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:20,500
The gravy train ended that day for all those people.

431
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,420
Just boom.

432
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:24,080
There are a lot of angry people right now.

433
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,180
But look, we couldn't- Do you think he would have lost though?

434
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:27,680
Yes.

435
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:28,560
Okay.

436
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:32,700
So at the end of the day, you're kind of glad that he did what he did.

437
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:33,460
He had to.

438
00:23:33,460 --> 00:23:40,420
As James Carville said, that debate, it's like seeing your grandmother naked.

439
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:41,020
Yeah.

440
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:42,840
There you go.

441
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,220
All kudos to you.

442
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,960
You nailed it.

443
00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:48,900
Yeah, it was so hard.

444
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:51,160
Well, I mean, you heard these hoes.

445
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:51,660
What?

446
00:23:51,860 --> 00:23:52,380
What?

447
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:52,900
What?

448
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:56,560
It surprises me that anyone's shocked by this.

449
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:56,960
Yeah.

450
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:59,440
All they have to do is follow the media itself.

451
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,180
The media was on her case about getting rid of her for this second Joe Biden term.

452
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,880
Let's get rid of Kamala.

453
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:07,920
She's a weak link.

454
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,760
And everybody was on board with that.

455
00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:12,460
And then all of a sudden she's the candidate.

456
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,500
Now she's great.

457
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:14,100
What?

458
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,040
How does that work?

459
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:16,120
Something's wrong.

460
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:17,160
Isn't that fantastic?

461
00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:19,700
I love it.

462
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:26,700
Now- Well, I want to talk about some more Trump stuff, but can we do a foundational clip here?

463
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,720
This is the Trump rap NPR.

464
00:24:29,420 --> 00:24:30,440
Hold on a second.

465
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:33,660
Yes, here we go.

466
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:41,780
President-elect Donald Trump has won both Arizona, a state Joe Biden won in 2020, and Nevada, according to race calls from the Associated Press.

467
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,300
For Nevada, it's the first time in 20 years the state elected a Republican candidate as president.

468
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,260
And for Trump, it's a sweep of all seven swing states.

469
00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:55,820
That brings his electoral vote count to 312, with 226 for Vice President Harris.

470
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,360
Next week, Trump meets with President Biden at the White House.

471
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:06,480
Meanwhile, with his second administration months away and beers, Ron Elving has more on what his first priorities in office could be.

472
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,740
The tax cuts that were his big legislative achievement in 2017 have to be renewed next year.

473
00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:13,420
He'll move quickly on that package.

474
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,100
Good news for many of his major backers as the cuts are heavily weighted to the upper income tier.

475
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,520
I may also move fast to begin his big tariff regime against China and others.

476
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,140
In essence, these are taxes on imports that may well be passed on to consumers.

477
00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:33,280
But Trump thinks they will bring jobs back to the U.S. Okay.

478
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Well, you know, they've been promoting this tax cut thing as somehow, you know, I mean, they did it originally that the tax cut did benefit everybody.

479
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:44,740
Oh, definitely.

480
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,280
But they keep promoting it as the rich tax cut for the rich when it's not.

481
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:52,160
Well, but that's what you do.

482
00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:56,400
They're staying on message and they've stayed on message for this since 2015.

483
00:25:57,020 --> 00:26:02,240
And I think it's annoying and I keep hearing it and it's bothersome, but let's go to part two of this and wrap this.

484
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,820
This is the foundation for any other discussions.

485
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:16,760
And as questions mount about what the next Trump presidency will look like for U.S. relations and rest of parts of the Middle East, focus is also being drawn to Trump's business ties with Gulf states.

486
00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:17,960
Here's Ayat Patrawi.

487
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Trump has personal connections with Gulf Arab rulers.

488
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:21,640
Oh no.

489
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:27,280
And his brand is emblazoned on golf courses and real estate projects across the Gulf, including here in Dubai.

490
00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:35,860
But on policy, there are questions on whether he'll be willing or able to end Israel's war in Gaza that's killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced the population.

491
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,400
And if he'll pile pressure on Iran, as he did his first term.

492
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:46,800
Director of the Gulf International Forum, Dania Thafer, says Gulf Arab states have ties with Iran now and are focused on growing their economies.

493
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:57,500
So the maximalist policies of Trump, which he applied during his first term, especially when it comes to Iran, may not be as appealing to the Gulf states.

494
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
She says they'd prefer de-escalation.

495
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,520
So that's where we stand.

496
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:12,000
Well, then let me do a foundational clip of the M5M just before the election, just so we're reminded.

497
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:15,720
What would a second Donald Trump term look like?

498
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:18,040
Well, he cannot be the next president.

499
00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:27,880
People would get legitimately elected and then they would try to do away and do away with opposition and do away with a free press.

500
00:27:28,540 --> 00:27:33,240
And you could see it in countries where, well, Hitler was duly elected.

501
00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:38,380
A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler.

502
00:27:38,620 --> 00:27:56,880
And a lot of these people that are talking about literal or figurative or whatever the hell they're saying, you're gonna look like idiots because he will do, he will get away with, he will imprison, he will execute whoever he's allowed.

503
00:27:57,020 --> 00:28:02,120
Leads me to think there is a coming massive crisis that's going to occur on November 5th.

504
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,700
Is promising to be a dictator for a day.

505
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:14,500
He is going to really, he runs the risk of really dismantling and greatly incapacitating the Department of Justice and the FBI.

506
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:21,900
It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again.

507
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:26,560
He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy.

508
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,060
And he has to be eliminated.

509
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,220
Eliminated, eliminate him.

510
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,120
Eliminate him, okay, there you go.

511
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:35,860
Now.

512
00:28:36,020 --> 00:28:40,360
Yeah, well, that reminds you that since we're gonna do a clip showdown, how about this?

513
00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:43,400
So here's the one that everyone's passing around.

514
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:48,020
Well, actually, I'll wait for that one.

515
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,820
This one, everyone's passing around.

516
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:51,500
This is the Polly Psy professor.

517
00:28:52,580 --> 00:28:56,000
And they clipped her and they retweeted her and she's all over the place.

518
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,700
And this is her before the election.

519
00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:02,460
Does a gloating, this is the clips called pre-gloat.

520
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,460
She's gloating.

521
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,280
Pre-gloat, yes.

522
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,060
She's gloating about how, you know, she's an expert.

523
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,740
And she got into an argument with the clerk and this guy's a fool.

524
00:29:12,740 --> 00:29:15,000
Dr. Arlene, is that who this is?

525
00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:15,660
Is that who it is?

526
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:16,280
Yeah, I think so.

527
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:16,620
Yeah, probably.

528
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,560
She's fantastic.

529
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:23,720
She's actually psychotic, which is rather interesting for her vocation.

530
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,900
Okay, so we're closing in on almost 5 p.m. Eastern time.

531
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,220
And I've been tracking everything that's been going on across the country today.

532
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:39,320
And my most important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne.

533
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:45,500
I was talking to the guy in the store, of course, asking him, did he vote?

534
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,880
Little minion guy.

535
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:50,760
He said he did early voting and he asked me if I early voted.

536
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,600
And he asked me, you know, why I was getting the champagne.

537
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:00,300
And I said, because I'm gonna be toasting Madam President tonight.

538
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,940
And he just looked at me with kind of like a smirk on his face.

539
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,260
And I said, you know, she's gonna win this, right?

540
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:09,300
And he says, oh, well, it's very, very close.

541
00:30:09,380 --> 00:30:10,720
And I said, no, it's not.

542
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,320
He says, well, what do you mean?

543
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,520
I said, no, it's not.

544
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,020
The women of America are making their voices heard.

545
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Reproductive rights is what it all comes down to.

546
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:25,260
And the women are voting in numbers relative to men that are unbelievable.

547
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,660
She's won this.

548
00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:30,780
And I said to him, she's gonna take every one of the swing states plus Iowa.

549
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,860
And he said, oh, but the numbers are so close.

550
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,600
I said, I'm a political analyst.

551
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,180
I'm telling you right now, the numbers are there.

552
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,500
She's taking this election.

553
00:30:40,220 --> 00:30:45,360
And I said to him, you realize, and he didn't tell me who he voted for, but of course I knew.

554
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:48,360
And I said, you do realize you wasted your vote, right?

555
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,720
And I didn't care.

556
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,400
I walked out with my bottle of champagne and happily walked home.

557
00:31:00,130 --> 00:31:01,030
Bye-bye.

558
00:31:02,350 --> 00:31:06,250
I think someone might need to do a wellness check on Dr. Arlene.

559
00:31:06,250 --> 00:31:07,450
Make sure she's okay.

560
00:31:07,810 --> 00:31:10,670
It turns out that she came back after the election.

561
00:31:10,810 --> 00:31:11,470
Did you get this?

562
00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:12,610
No, no.

563
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:20,790
She came back after the election and she's kind of semi-apologetic, but this is what she posted after the election.

564
00:31:20,930 --> 00:31:22,650
This is Professor Loser clip.

565
00:31:22,910 --> 00:31:26,790
So as you know, Kamala Harris did not win the election.

566
00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:36,030
As the numbers stand right now, there were 18 million fewer votes than in 2020.

567
00:31:36,250 --> 00:31:47,070
And as I just said all along, you have to have a huge, huge turnout and it goes to the Dems and we didn't have it.

568
00:31:48,090 --> 00:31:54,470
And there's gonna be a lot of speculating going on about- Yeah, about you, your numbers.

569
00:31:55,950 --> 00:32:02,830
Everything that happened, everything that was wrong, every decision that was made, every aspect of this whole thing.

570
00:32:02,830 --> 00:32:15,370
And the reality is that Kamala Harris ran the most impressive campaign, mounting and running it and having only three months in which to do it.

571
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:20,830
It's unprecedented and it was absolutely magnificent.

572
00:32:21,770 --> 00:32:25,270
I've never seen anything like it in my entire life.

573
00:32:25,570 --> 00:32:25,910
So good.

574
00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:31,190
Impressive on a level that, I mean, she has the campaign playbook.

575
00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:34,130
If you're gonna win, that's the playbook that you use.

576
00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:36,530
There's logic for you.

577
00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:40,130
Well, if you're gonna win, you use her playbook that she lost.

578
00:32:40,810 --> 00:32:43,810
Now, there's a couple of, I used one more clip on this series.

579
00:32:45,790 --> 00:32:55,610
She said something and I tried to find this clip because Cenk Uygur had a show before the election where he brought this guy on and he couldn't get the clip, sorry.

580
00:32:55,790 --> 00:33:01,850
But this guy comes on and he's predicting Kamala's gonna win and chunks all the way, oh, great, blah, blah, blah.

581
00:33:03,070 --> 00:33:09,070
And the guy mentioned the Iowa analysis that was done.

582
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:10,070
It was a poll in Iowa.

583
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:13,770
One outlier said, oh, Iowa's going big for Kamala.

584
00:33:14,490 --> 00:33:18,150
She, this woman, in her first clip, if you notice, she mentions Iowa.

585
00:33:18,270 --> 00:33:26,210
This Iowa thing, which she didn't go, Iowa's never gonna go for Kamala Harris, but for some reason these lefties all believed it was gonna be true.

586
00:33:26,330 --> 00:33:27,850
Well, what is the significance?

587
00:33:27,850 --> 00:33:30,630
Is that like New Hampshire where you have to have New Hampshire?

588
00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:34,250
The way New Hampshire goes, the way the country goes, did Iowa become that?

589
00:33:34,270 --> 00:33:38,450
No, it was significant because Iowa is solidly Republican.

590
00:33:39,170 --> 00:33:39,690
Right.

591
00:33:40,150 --> 00:33:41,270
All the time.

592
00:33:41,390 --> 00:33:41,710
Corn.

593
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:54,130
And it's never gone Democrat, but somebody figured out some way of messing with the numbers to kind of conclude that, oh yeah, they're gonna be big Democrats, they're gonna swing it to the Democrats.

594
00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:55,150
Climate change models.

595
00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:55,610
And these suckers.

596
00:33:55,730 --> 00:33:56,710
Climate change models.

597
00:33:57,380 --> 00:33:58,530
These suckers.

598
00:33:58,590 --> 00:33:59,170
Yes.

599
00:33:59,850 --> 00:34:00,430
Exactly.

600
00:34:00,730 --> 00:34:02,830
These suckers bought into it.

601
00:34:02,930 --> 00:34:09,489
Now, the clip I wanna play, which is the one that I didn't play in the last show, but I wanna play, this is the election anal series.

602
00:34:10,130 --> 00:34:15,370
And this is the gender gap clip that nobody really likes talking about.

603
00:34:15,650 --> 00:34:20,010
President-elect Trump will be the 47th president of the United States.

604
00:34:20,130 --> 00:34:29,510
We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing.

605
00:34:29,650 --> 00:34:30,590
Look what happened.

606
00:34:30,750 --> 00:34:31,530
Is this crazy?

607
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:39,110
In her concession speech today, Vice President Harris says she accepts the election results, but she vows to fight on.

608
00:34:39,449 --> 00:34:44,750
And both Trump and Harris campaigned with the hope that the gender gap would work to their advantage.

609
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:55,190
Trump's campaign focused on men tapping into the economic insecurities and aspirations and making inroads with black and Latino men, often leaning into hypermasculine rhetoric.

610
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:56,130
And it worked.

611
00:34:56,550 --> 00:35:00,470
But Harris's pitch to women in particular largely focused on abortion rights.

612
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:02,870
That didn't seem to resonate in the voting booth.

613
00:35:03,370 --> 00:35:16,790
Center-right pollster Christine Matthews, as president of Bellwether Research and Consulting, she says she thought that for the first time since 1976, white women would back the Democratic candidate, but that did not materialize.

614
00:35:17,070 --> 00:35:18,710
In fact, there was really no difference.

615
00:35:19,130 --> 00:35:21,430
White women performed as normal.

616
00:35:21,890 --> 00:35:35,350
And what I find really, I don't know, difficult to understand, I think, is both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, two women candidates for president, didn't do anything to change the dynamics of the gender gap.

617
00:35:36,010 --> 00:35:37,630
No, no change.

618
00:35:38,150 --> 00:35:42,110
Well, we already discussed- No change, and everyone's all bent out of shape about that.

619
00:35:42,350 --> 00:35:43,830
What's wrong with these white women?

620
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:51,590
I just want the troll room to know that when John gives me a production cue, that does not mean that the title election anal will be a show title.

621
00:35:51,590 --> 00:35:54,050
This is not going to happen.

622
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:55,890
Election anal.

623
00:35:55,910 --> 00:36:00,030
So there is some sanity, and I'm happy to see it.

624
00:36:00,150 --> 00:36:13,910
Julie Roginsky, I think that's how you pronounce her name, is a Democratic strategist, and she came on CNN, and she explained pretty much, I think, the big problem with the Democrat Party, which has nothing to do with all of this nonsense.

625
00:36:14,250 --> 00:36:17,490
No, I'm gonna speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party.

626
00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:19,490
This is not Joe Biden's fault.

627
00:36:19,690 --> 00:36:21,150
It's not Kamala Harris's fault.

628
00:36:21,150 --> 00:36:23,030
It's not Barack Obama's fault.

629
00:36:23,170 --> 00:36:29,430
It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters.

630
00:36:29,810 --> 00:36:37,110
We are not the party of common sense, which is what the message that voters sent to us, for a number of reasons.

631
00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:39,910
For a number of reasons, we don't know how to speak to voters.

632
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:43,130
When we address Latina, and listen, language has meaning.

633
00:36:43,250 --> 00:36:52,370
When we address Latino voters as Latinx, for instance, because that's the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don't even live on the same planet as they do.

634
00:36:52,950 --> 00:37:07,630
When we are too afraid to say that, hey, college kids, if you're trashing a campus, a Columbia University, because you're unhappy about some sort of policy, and you're taking over a university, and you're trashing it and preventing other students from learning, that that is unacceptable.

635
00:37:07,630 --> 00:37:20,890
But we're so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don't know what to say when normal people look at that and say, wait a second, I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so that they can burn buildings and trash lawns, right?

636
00:37:21,350 --> 00:37:22,490
And so on and so forth.

637
00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:36,470
When we put pronouns after names, and say she, her, as opposed to saying, you know what, if I call you by the wrong pronoun, call me out, I'm sorry, I won't do it again, but stop with the virtue signaling and just speak to people like they're normal.

638
00:37:36,570 --> 00:37:41,730
There's nothing I'm going to say to Sher Michael that I'm not gonna say to you that I'm not gonna say to somebody else.

639
00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:43,930
I speak the same language to everybody.

640
00:37:44,270 --> 00:37:45,910
But that's not what Democrats do.

641
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:54,690
We constantly try to parse out different ways of speaking to different cohorts because our focus groups or our polling shows that so and so appeals to such and such.

642
00:37:54,970 --> 00:37:56,570
That's not how normal people think.

643
00:37:56,670 --> 00:37:57,870
It's not common sense.

644
00:37:58,210 --> 00:38:00,630
And we need to start being the party of common sense again.

645
00:38:00,830 --> 00:38:03,290
Joe Biden is not responsible for that.

646
00:38:03,470 --> 00:38:04,530
Neither is Kamala Harris.

647
00:38:04,690 --> 00:38:07,590
It is a problem that Democrats have had for years.

648
00:38:07,730 --> 00:38:11,990
I've been banging the drum on this for, I don't know how, probably 10 years, if not longer on this.

649
00:38:12,350 --> 00:38:18,670
We need to get back to being the party of common sense that people look at us and say, we understand you.

650
00:38:18,890 --> 00:38:22,450
We appreciate what you say because you speak our language.

651
00:38:22,890 --> 00:38:26,810
And until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes.

652
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:28,110
Amen, sister.

653
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:29,450
That's exactly right.

654
00:38:29,870 --> 00:38:32,030
Oh, you can talk to your blue in the face.

655
00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:33,350
It's not gonna change anything.

656
00:38:33,830 --> 00:38:50,630
And let me say something about, she did bring something up that I've noticed is cropping up left and right everywhere because this swing of the Hispanic vote toward the Republicans keeps bringing up this Latin X thing.

657
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:52,570
And it's not, she's not the first one.

658
00:38:52,670 --> 00:38:53,670
I saw it this morning.

659
00:38:53,690 --> 00:38:57,550
I was watching on Zacharia's show and he's going on and on about it.

660
00:38:57,810 --> 00:39:01,930
I don't know why everyone gets all bent out of shape because they use Latin X.

661
00:39:03,070 --> 00:39:05,230
And yeah, nobody likes it.

662
00:39:05,290 --> 00:39:06,850
So whose idea was it?

663
00:39:08,170 --> 00:39:23,570
And- That was the whole DEI be ultra woke stuff that just popped up, you know, along with the, before we get started with the meeting, we want to thank the Lakhahine Tudatatati tribe for the captured lands we stand on.

664
00:39:23,590 --> 00:39:24,810
My favorite, whatever.

665
00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:27,950
By the way, I miss that.

666
00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:30,950
Yeah, they're still doing it, but don't worry.

667
00:39:30,990 --> 00:39:31,730
It'll pop up.

668
00:39:31,850 --> 00:39:32,690
It's still around.

669
00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:33,350
It's still around.

670
00:39:33,350 --> 00:39:34,130
I actually miss it.

671
00:39:34,170 --> 00:39:35,550
It's so stupid.

672
00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:38,430
And you see somebody going on about it.

673
00:39:38,430 --> 00:39:40,790
I'm Adam Curry, he, him, I'm wearing a blue dress.

674
00:39:40,910 --> 00:39:42,590
I mean, all this stuff, all of this stuff.

675
00:39:42,590 --> 00:39:44,270
People got sick of it.

676
00:39:45,290 --> 00:39:47,330
And that- I think they were always sick of it.

677
00:39:47,550 --> 00:39:52,090
Right, but Trump gave people the license to say, I'm sick of it.

678
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:53,810
That's what happened.

679
00:39:54,050 --> 00:39:54,850
We're like, hey, you know what?

680
00:39:54,850 --> 00:39:56,070
I'm sick of this nonsense.

681
00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:57,110
Stop it now.

682
00:39:57,790 --> 00:40:03,730
He, her, every time I see it, you know, I'm almost at the point where I had a lot of LinkedIn followers.

683
00:40:03,930 --> 00:40:08,930
And when I see that, you know, on LinkedIn, some people will put he, her, they, it, they're all this stuff.

684
00:40:09,530 --> 00:40:11,910
I just bounce them if I see it.

685
00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:15,210
I can't, it's not tolerable.

686
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:26,390
You have to, when you, when you log into, you probably, I don't know if you've seen this, but I believe when you log in now, if you haven't set your pronoun, LinkedIn prompts you to set your pronoun.

687
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:27,050
I've never seen that.

688
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:29,050
Yeah, someone told me that.

689
00:40:29,690 --> 00:40:30,650
I haven't seen it.

690
00:40:30,810 --> 00:40:34,010
I go to LinkedIn to repost the show all the time.

691
00:40:34,130 --> 00:40:34,590
I've never seen that.

692
00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:36,690
But you're already logged in as she, her.

693
00:40:36,850 --> 00:40:38,210
You're already a fake woman on LinkedIn.

694
00:40:38,210 --> 00:40:39,290
I'm a she, her.

695
00:40:39,650 --> 00:40:41,010
Actually a she, it.

696
00:40:41,470 --> 00:40:43,770
On LinkedIn, you're already a she, it.

697
00:40:44,530 --> 00:40:46,070
We know you're stalking everybody.

698
00:40:47,670 --> 00:40:55,570
So I thought it would be kind of maybe interesting if you don't want to do it, but you know, Trump released two videos and these are his policies.

699
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:57,950
So this is the real Project 2025.

700
00:41:00,430 --> 00:41:08,490
It depends on, it may be the one, my bonus clip may be part of this series, but play what you're going to play.

701
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:11,930
And then I have some comments about it because I don't think people realize these are old.

702
00:41:13,410 --> 00:41:17,750
Oh, the one about what he's going, how he's going to get rid of the deep state, is that old?

703
00:41:18,910 --> 00:41:20,750
He did one on free speech.

704
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:21,850
I saw that one, yeah.

705
00:41:22,570 --> 00:41:27,010
He did one, the really good one is the one on gender affirming care.

706
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,110
No, I don't have that one.

707
00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:30,350
That's the bonus clip.

708
00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:31,330
Well, why don't we do that?

709
00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:32,270
Let's do that one first.

710
00:41:32,370 --> 00:41:33,110
Is that an old clip?

711
00:41:33,310 --> 00:41:37,590
It's a long clip, but play as much as you feel like because it's, you know, it's Trump.

712
00:41:37,790 --> 00:41:38,850
Okay, hold on a second.

713
00:41:38,850 --> 00:41:44,450
Here's my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.

714
00:41:45,310 --> 00:42:03,330
On day one, I will revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender affirming care, ridiculous, a process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children.

715
00:42:03,750 --> 00:42:11,570
This, by the way, this actually was a reason for some people to vote independent instead of Trump.

716
00:42:11,890 --> 00:42:23,650
So they, these were progressives who could not agree with Kamala, probably loved old Joe sharp as a tack, but because of this, and- By you mean Joe Biden, not Joe Rogan.

717
00:42:24,290 --> 00:42:25,870
Can you believe this?

718
00:42:26,230 --> 00:42:37,090
I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age.

719
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:50,450
I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.

720
00:42:50,530 --> 00:42:51,470
It'll go very quickly.

721
00:42:52,150 --> 00:43:03,690
Now, he can do that, I presume, just like, I mean, aren't these state laws like driving age, tattoo age, drinking laws, aren't these state laws or is there, are there federal laws?

722
00:43:03,690 --> 00:43:06,190
No, he specifically said federal agencies.

723
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,970
He can do an executive order to tell federal agencies to stop this, that, and the other.

724
00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:13,270
Okay.

725
00:43:13,650 --> 00:43:30,830
I will declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately.

726
00:43:30,830 --> 00:43:33,430
Yeah, that, that's the big one right there.

727
00:43:33,830 --> 00:43:34,990
That's, that's the money.

728
00:43:35,070 --> 00:43:36,750
He's like, oh, hold on a second.

729
00:43:36,990 --> 00:43:38,390
Well, that's not worth it.

730
00:43:38,610 --> 00:43:49,750
Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.

731
00:43:49,930 --> 00:44:09,630
The Department of Justice will investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of sex transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients, in this case, very vulnerable.

732
00:44:10,230 --> 00:44:19,590
We will also investigate whether Big Pharma or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use.

733
00:44:20,270 --> 00:44:40,850
My Department of Education will inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences, including potential civil rights violations- For sex discrimination and the elimination of federal funding.

734
00:44:41,050 --> 00:44:55,710
As part of our new credentialing body for teachers, we will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.

735
00:44:56,250 --> 00:45:06,710
I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth.

736
00:45:06,930 --> 00:45:09,850
The bill will also make clear that title- Hold on.

737
00:45:10,510 --> 00:45:11,590
Assigned at birth?

738
00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:13,350
How about recognized at birth?

739
00:45:13,850 --> 00:45:14,830
I think that's a mistake.

740
00:45:15,710 --> 00:45:17,670
That's a mistake in the writing.

741
00:45:17,710 --> 00:45:27,550
Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth.

742
00:45:27,930 --> 00:45:45,370
The bill will also make clear that Title IX prohibits men from participating in women's sports, and we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity without the parent's consent.

743
00:45:45,710 --> 00:45:46,070
There you go.

744
00:45:46,070 --> 00:45:52,330
The identity will not be new, and it will not be without parental consent.

745
00:45:52,970 --> 00:46:02,370
No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender, a concept that was never heard of in all of human history.

746
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:04,850
Nobody's ever heard of this, what's happening today.

747
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:10,690
It was all when the radical left invented it just a few years ago.

748
00:46:11,250 --> 00:46:13,750
Under my leadership, this madness will end.

749
00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:14,810
Thank you very much.

750
00:46:14,810 --> 00:46:41,450
Well, okay, so that's good, and I was going to go to a similar type of clip about his deep state policy, but I have to pump the brakes here for a second because I've learned a little bit about Susie Wiles, who is his chief of staff, announced, first female chief of staff ever, but there's a problem with Susie Wiles.

751
00:46:43,430 --> 00:46:50,290
In 2022, she signed on and became the co-chair of lobbying firm Mercury Public Affairs.

752
00:46:51,390 --> 00:47:01,310
My understanding of it was she quit that, she was in a public relationship, well, it was a lobbying firm, which she quit in 2019, according to Wikipedia.

753
00:47:01,770 --> 00:47:09,090
Well, she was never involved with- I, all right, so- She was working in Florida campaigns during that period.

754
00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:17,290
Right, I'm looking at Mercury right here, Mercury announces top Republican political strategist, Susie Wiles as co-chair, February 7th, 2022.

755
00:47:18,510 --> 00:47:18,790
Okay.

756
00:47:19,010 --> 00:47:21,890
So that's- If that's on their website, it's probably true.

757
00:47:21,970 --> 00:47:26,510
That's bull crap, and if you look at who their clients are, it's Big Pharma.

758
00:47:27,230 --> 00:47:27,770
Yeah.

759
00:47:28,130 --> 00:47:30,490
And it's Gavi, which is Gates's outfit.

760
00:47:31,170 --> 00:47:33,650
So, you know- She doesn't work for him now.

761
00:47:34,170 --> 00:47:41,050
Okay, but it's not like, once again, you've got people on the inside who I think are questionable.

762
00:47:41,810 --> 00:47:58,450
I think she has to be under scrutiny at this point, but it's like I've always said, because I worked at an oil refinery and then I became an air pollution inspector at an oil refinery, and it doesn't mean I was a corrupt air pollution inspector because I had worked at an oil refinery when it just the opposite was true.

763
00:47:58,530 --> 00:48:00,610
You seem to have a big problem with climate change.

764
00:48:00,710 --> 00:48:02,190
I'm a little suspicious now.

765
00:48:02,550 --> 00:48:04,410
You seems like you're shilling for big oil.

766
00:48:04,970 --> 00:48:06,310
Yeah, you could be, yeah, okay.

767
00:48:06,510 --> 00:48:07,530
But you get my point.

768
00:48:08,050 --> 00:48:09,290
Yes, I do get your point.

769
00:48:09,290 --> 00:48:12,190
But let's get back to this Trump clip.

770
00:48:12,270 --> 00:48:14,670
This Trump clip that I played and the other ones that are out there.

771
00:48:14,670 --> 00:48:19,010
Why don't you just steamroll right over the fact that she's from Big Pharma?

772
00:48:19,470 --> 00:48:23,110
No, it's because I'm trying to finish the clip we were talking about.

773
00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:24,270
You finished it already.

774
00:48:25,310 --> 00:48:29,370
No, I didn't get to the point, which is that these clips are old.

775
00:48:30,070 --> 00:48:31,330
You already told us that.

776
00:48:31,870 --> 00:48:34,010
Yeah, but I didn't tell you the whole history of them.

777
00:48:34,050 --> 00:48:35,450
Okay, tell me the history.

778
00:48:36,330 --> 00:48:45,790
They were done in January of 2024 when as a pre, kind of a pre-proposed series of these.

779
00:48:45,790 --> 00:48:52,190
He did a bunch of these policy clips when he was planning to go after Joe Biden in January of 2024.

780
00:48:53,790 --> 00:48:56,990
And they reemerged as new clips.

781
00:48:56,990 --> 00:49:00,990
If you see any of them on YouTube, I think it sounds like they just were produced last week.

782
00:49:01,070 --> 00:49:02,250
These are old clips.

783
00:49:03,390 --> 00:49:04,030
Got it.

784
00:49:04,030 --> 00:49:08,930
And I think that needs to be known if anyone's gonna be talking about these clips.

785
00:49:09,290 --> 00:49:10,670
Well, I think you made your point.

786
00:49:10,670 --> 00:49:13,330
I got a note saying, how come nobody's talking about these clips?

787
00:49:13,410 --> 00:49:15,850
And I was saying, I can't figure, these are great clips.

788
00:49:15,910 --> 00:49:17,530
I don't know why they're not talking about them.

789
00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:19,970
And so you find out it's because they're old clips.

790
00:49:22,190 --> 00:49:22,430
Suzy Wiles.

791
00:49:22,430 --> 00:49:23,850
Okay, now we can go back to Suzy.

792
00:49:24,050 --> 00:49:25,310
Got nothing left to say.

793
00:49:25,390 --> 00:49:27,990
She's a Big Pharma lady and I think it's suspicious.

794
00:49:29,130 --> 00:49:29,870
I don't like it.

795
00:49:29,890 --> 00:49:30,510
Well, we'll see how it goes.

796
00:49:30,590 --> 00:49:31,490
I don't like it.

797
00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:33,090
I don't like it.

798
00:49:34,750 --> 00:49:39,090
Well, Musk tweeted the video about Section 230.

799
00:49:39,290 --> 00:49:40,370
Was that also old?

800
00:49:42,030 --> 00:49:44,570
Yeah, it's the same set, the same everything.

801
00:49:45,930 --> 00:49:50,290
I don't know that Musk knows it was old, but he got ahold of it and it came out.

802
00:49:50,330 --> 00:49:54,510
It sounds like it was new, but it's the same part of this, because of the set.

803
00:49:54,590 --> 00:49:55,770
The set's exactly the same.

804
00:49:55,850 --> 00:49:56,950
The voicing's the same.

805
00:49:57,110 --> 00:49:58,430
The echo's the same.

806
00:49:58,870 --> 00:49:59,570
Agreed, agreed.

807
00:50:00,070 --> 00:50:01,750
Well, how can Musk not know?

808
00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:08,790
He's hanging out with the president-elect doing conference calls with Zelensky.

809
00:50:09,790 --> 00:50:11,730
Well, he never said it was new.

810
00:50:12,110 --> 00:50:13,270
He just played it.

811
00:50:13,470 --> 00:50:15,950
He made it look like, wow, this is important.

812
00:50:16,370 --> 00:50:17,970
He made it look like it was new.

813
00:50:18,630 --> 00:50:19,270
Yes, he did.

814
00:50:19,390 --> 00:50:19,910
I saw that.

815
00:50:20,010 --> 00:50:22,130
That's where I first got turned on to these clips.

816
00:50:22,610 --> 00:50:33,410
But this reminds me, there was a clip that Trump did in 2015 before he ran in 2016, which was one of these policy clips that was done about the deep state back then.

817
00:50:33,610 --> 00:50:34,050
Yes, yes.

818
00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:36,050
That I wish I had a copy of it somewhere.

819
00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:36,690
I have it.

820
00:50:37,010 --> 00:50:37,330
I have it.

821
00:50:38,270 --> 00:50:39,490
It was a killer.

822
00:50:39,790 --> 00:50:40,310
I have it.

823
00:50:41,310 --> 00:50:42,910
Hey, let's go through it.

824
00:50:42,970 --> 00:50:43,530
Hold on a second.

825
00:50:43,690 --> 00:50:44,350
I have it.

826
00:50:44,870 --> 00:50:45,390
You're right.

827
00:50:45,470 --> 00:50:46,330
It is old.

828
00:50:47,950 --> 00:50:52,010
And I think, I wonder why not a lot was done with it.

829
00:50:52,070 --> 00:50:55,110
I'm pretty sure we played it at some point.

830
00:50:55,210 --> 00:50:55,970
Let me see here.

831
00:50:56,170 --> 00:50:57,510
I know we both had it.

832
00:50:57,590 --> 00:50:58,410
I don't know that- Here it is.

833
00:50:58,930 --> 00:50:59,950
Dismantle the deep state.

834
00:50:59,950 --> 00:51:01,110
He has a 10 point plan.

835
00:51:01,190 --> 00:51:03,030
Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state.

836
00:51:03,250 --> 00:51:08,650
Exact same cadence, but this of course has some music underneath it because it's a Trump world produced.

837
00:51:08,770 --> 00:51:13,830
Deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all.

838
00:51:14,310 --> 00:51:15,430
And corruption it is.

839
00:51:15,470 --> 00:51:17,570
You know, we probably didn't play it because they're so long.

840
00:51:17,630 --> 00:51:20,470
That's probably the reason we didn't play it, which is a mistake on their part.

841
00:51:20,550 --> 00:51:21,770
It's not really clippable.

842
00:51:22,430 --> 00:51:30,810
First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats.

843
00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:34,030
And I will wield that power very aggressively.

844
00:51:34,510 --> 00:51:34,730
All right.

845
00:51:34,850 --> 00:51:38,370
That was what got everyone got there, as you would say, titting a ringer over that.

846
00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:38,730
What?

847
00:51:38,810 --> 00:51:40,570
You can't fire government employees.

848
00:51:41,470 --> 00:51:43,450
There is some law about that, isn't there?

849
00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:45,590
Is it really hard to fire government employees?

850
00:51:46,070 --> 00:51:47,070
Yes, it is very hard.

851
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:47,890
Why is that?

852
00:51:48,870 --> 00:51:49,430
I don't know.

853
00:51:49,690 --> 00:51:57,990
Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus and there are plenty of them.

854
00:51:58,250 --> 00:51:58,870
No, that's...

855
00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:01,270
He did none of this, by the way.

856
00:52:01,330 --> 00:52:02,210
We should note that.

857
00:52:05,290 --> 00:52:07,210
Whoa, they got six ways to Sunday.

858
00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:24,690
The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe.

859
00:52:24,690 --> 00:52:26,310
So this was 2015?

860
00:52:27,610 --> 00:52:38,310
I think it was around, yeah, it was 20, I think it was 2015, it was after the, and what he's referring to in that last comment, it was the lowest alert thing, or running the IRS against all the conservative.

861
00:52:38,890 --> 00:52:43,410
Yeah, let's not waste our time with these then, since I didn't realize that was from 2015.

862
00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:46,350
I thought it was from the 2020 election.

863
00:52:46,990 --> 00:52:49,250
No, that was, no, that was really old.

864
00:52:49,390 --> 00:52:49,790
Oh, man.

865
00:52:50,090 --> 00:52:50,510
Well, let's...

866
00:52:50,510 --> 00:52:55,770
Yeah, no, there's a lot of this stuff that's out there and it never, because the mainstream media doesn't report on this stuff.

867
00:52:56,070 --> 00:52:57,550
Right, it never goes anywhere.

868
00:52:57,690 --> 00:52:59,190
And they won't give you backgrounders on it.

869
00:52:59,230 --> 00:53:19,730
I mean, I had to dig around to figure out that these clips, these recent ones that we both ran into about Section 230 and about the transgender stuff was as old as it was, which explains why it hasn't been discussed much, but at the same time, why does this stuff linger in the background like this and it was never discussed when it came out?

870
00:53:19,790 --> 00:53:26,250
It's possible that that was the algorithms that the old guard at Twitter were managing.

871
00:53:26,650 --> 00:53:32,410
And of course, we know that at the time, Facebook, everyone's changing their tune a bit, but it was probably suppressed.

872
00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:35,810
That's the only reason I can think.

873
00:53:36,110 --> 00:53:36,550
Probably.

874
00:53:36,990 --> 00:53:37,210
Hello.

875
00:53:37,650 --> 00:53:38,130
Hello.

876
00:53:39,370 --> 00:53:49,030
Now, here's a beautiful little ditty as, now, of course, the promise was within 24 hours, President Trump was going to fix this war in Ukraine.

877
00:53:49,830 --> 00:53:51,790
And man, what a doozy.

878
00:53:51,790 --> 00:53:58,230
I think the Musk thing, because everyone's like, oh, Musk was on the phone and talking.

879
00:53:58,610 --> 00:54:04,930
To me, Musk was probably in the office and Trump is doing this, hold on a second, I got to fix this war.

880
00:54:05,110 --> 00:54:05,650
Hold on a second.

881
00:54:06,190 --> 00:54:10,730
And then, you know, he said, hey, hey, hey, hey, talk to Zelensky, like your grandparents would do.

882
00:54:10,810 --> 00:54:13,790
Talk to Aunt Dottie, you know?

883
00:54:13,930 --> 00:54:14,550
Yes, say hi.

884
00:54:14,710 --> 00:54:21,670
Yeah, so I don't think he was involved in any negotiations, but in comes a prediction from the show.

885
00:54:22,190 --> 00:54:23,770
And first of all, thank you for having me.

886
00:54:23,870 --> 00:54:31,970
And I must say that it is already happening because the talks between Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky already happened, talks on the phone.

887
00:54:32,350 --> 00:54:35,990
And I must stress that Elon Musk was part of those talks.

888
00:54:36,350 --> 00:54:42,430
It's known that Elon Musk was in contact with the Russian government throughout those past two years.

889
00:54:42,430 --> 00:54:50,910
So this raises a concern of how Russian government, how Putin's government is now inside the Trump circle.

890
00:54:51,390 --> 00:54:54,090
Do they have someone in the Trump circle?

891
00:54:54,270 --> 00:55:00,410
In this case, if we can call an Elon Musk a person who can project Russia's interest.

892
00:55:00,870 --> 00:55:11,050
So now Europe is trying to gather and realize what can it do to counter this new reality of in the United States.

893
00:55:11,350 --> 00:55:19,090
We know that the European Union and NATO countries have been preparing for Trump presidency for the past year.

894
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:27,590
And of course we could hear champagne bottles popping in the Kremlin when Donald Trump was elected president.

895
00:55:28,110 --> 00:55:38,990
So now everyone expects Donald Trump to hit the ground running, not from day one, but already right now, because he's promised to end the war in 24 hours.

896
00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:44,550
And JD Vance then the candidate to be vice president of the United States.

897
00:55:44,550 --> 00:55:53,690
And now vice president elect have told reporters his ideas, his views of how this new peace would be achieved.

898
00:55:53,870 --> 00:56:07,290
First of all, this is a demilitarized zone, but a demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine on Ukrainian territory, on Ukrainian territory at the line where two armies are standing right now.

899
00:56:07,470 --> 00:56:14,430
This would mean Ukraine losing a quarter or even a third probably of its territory.

900
00:56:14,610 --> 00:56:16,650
Exactly what we looked at.

901
00:56:16,830 --> 00:56:20,750
Yeah, DMZ, demilitarized zone, end of story.

902
00:56:21,550 --> 00:56:22,210
It's done.

903
00:56:24,750 --> 00:56:29,490
Why the mainstream media, no wonder it's the podcast election.

904
00:56:29,790 --> 00:56:34,430
It's so obvious when you just sit down and don't have coffee with your producers all day.

905
00:56:34,750 --> 00:56:39,270
And you just look at the facts on the table and the obviousness of it all.

906
00:56:40,170 --> 00:56:42,230
Obviousness of it all, that's the key.

907
00:56:42,590 --> 00:56:43,450
Obviousness of it all.

908
00:56:43,450 --> 00:56:45,610
At some point it's obvious.

909
00:56:45,970 --> 00:56:46,250
Yeah.

910
00:56:46,530 --> 00:56:49,390
And for some reason it's denied.

911
00:56:49,710 --> 00:56:51,270
The obviosity is denied.

912
00:56:51,490 --> 00:56:54,310
Because these are not actual journalists and reporters.

913
00:56:54,530 --> 00:57:04,410
They are operatives, all of them, especially in state run media or at least state adjacent like NPR, PBS, and screw it, ABC, BBC.

914
00:57:05,410 --> 00:57:09,990
And meanwhile, Donald Trump still in the early days of putting together his administration.

915
00:57:10,570 --> 00:57:13,530
He's been on a call with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

916
00:57:13,610 --> 00:57:15,490
And interestingly, he was joined by Elon Musk.

917
00:57:15,870 --> 00:57:16,050
Interestingly.

918
00:57:16,310 --> 00:57:17,510
What does that say?

919
00:57:17,570 --> 00:57:20,230
Do you think about the role that Mr. Musk might play in the government?

920
00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:21,350
It's interesting, isn't it?

921
00:57:21,350 --> 00:57:26,730
This has been described as a lengthy call between Donald Trump and President Zelensky.

922
00:57:27,150 --> 00:57:31,430
And the suggestion is that Elon Musk was clearly in the room for at least a small part of it.

923
00:57:31,470 --> 00:57:36,250
And he handed over the phone, in the way that you would give your friend the phone to say hello to someone on the other end.

924
00:57:36,250 --> 00:57:37,410
Yes, exactly.

925
00:57:37,650 --> 00:57:46,690
President Zelensky thanked Elon Musk for the Starlink satellite systems, which have been really crucial during the war in Ukraine, where a lot of the communications have been taken out.

926
00:57:47,370 --> 00:57:54,650
As to what it means for Elon Musk's future, well, there's this discussion about him having some sort of role in Donald Trump's administration.

927
00:57:55,170 --> 00:57:58,030
What that might look like, nobody quite knows.

928
00:57:58,210 --> 00:58:07,610
They've talked about something a bit new, something different, maybe leading a new department of government efficiency, where he would cut costs and slash through regulations and that sort of thing.

929
00:58:07,810 --> 00:58:15,090
But it shows that at this moment, when Donald Trump is putting his top team together, somebody like Elon Musk is clearly there and in the room while he's doing it.

930
00:58:15,330 --> 00:58:18,190
No, oh lordy, it's not Beyonce.

931
00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:20,730
If it was Beyonce, it'd be fine.

932
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:25,530
Yeah, the BBC is, they're actually becoming quite entertaining for our show.

933
00:58:25,810 --> 00:58:30,930
Vladimir Putin seems to agree with Mr. Trump that he might be able to end the war in Ukraine.

934
00:58:31,170 --> 00:58:31,450
How?

935
00:58:31,970 --> 00:58:37,270
The challenge becomes when you have an honest conversation with your partners, is what are the goals?

936
00:58:37,730 --> 00:58:41,290
Zelensky, for example, he says his goal is to get Crimea back.

937
00:58:41,650 --> 00:58:45,650
Well, that's not the goal of the United States and that's not the goal of the European nation states.

938
00:58:45,950 --> 00:58:50,290
We learned that in 2014, that when Putin invaded Crimea, Europe did nothing.

939
00:58:50,950 --> 00:58:58,530
And so now when Zelensky says, we will only stop this fighting, there will only be peace once Crimea is returned, we've got news for President Zelensky.

940
00:58:58,910 --> 00:58:59,530
Crimea's gone.

941
00:58:59,830 --> 00:59:07,490
And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own.

942
00:59:07,550 --> 00:59:08,990
That is not the priority of America.

943
00:59:09,170 --> 00:59:11,790
But the priority of America is peace and to stop the killing.

944
00:59:12,190 --> 00:59:21,170
So if Ukraine says, and it sounds unlikely at the moment, but if Ukraine were to say, right, we give up Crimea, they'd carry on getting the arms for the rest of the battle, would they?

945
00:59:21,390 --> 00:59:31,630
Listen, the reality on the ground is the European nation states and President Biden did not give Ukraine the ability and the arms to win this war at the very beginning.

946
00:59:31,630 --> 00:59:34,570
And failed to lift the restrictions for Ukraine to win.

947
00:59:35,090 --> 00:59:36,570
And so those are the challenges.

948
00:59:36,770 --> 00:59:43,130
What we're gonna say to Ukraine is, what do you see as a realistic vision for peace?

949
00:59:43,290 --> 00:59:46,350
It's not a vision for winning, but it's a vision for peace.

950
00:59:46,690 --> 00:59:48,570
And let's start having the honest conversation.

951
00:59:48,890 --> 00:59:54,650
And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well, we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious.

952
00:59:54,850 --> 00:59:55,790
Yeah, not gonna happen.

953
00:59:55,890 --> 01:00:05,110
The only thing that I'm curious about is, I'm sure Trump will say, listen, Vladimir, Ukraine will never be a NATO.

954
01:00:07,110 --> 01:00:10,190
You know that Putin's gonna be like, yeah, I need it in writing this time.

955
01:00:11,570 --> 01:00:12,410
Oh, absolutely.

956
01:00:12,730 --> 01:00:14,470
After the last time we screwed with him.

957
01:00:14,710 --> 01:00:19,570
Which the other way of doing that is just dissolving NATO by stop paying for it.

958
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:23,690
And honestly, it would be a fine time for it to go.

959
01:00:24,930 --> 01:00:28,710
But it's trying to expand into Korea.

960
01:00:29,570 --> 01:00:30,850
Oh yeah, the giving that a shot.

961
01:00:31,050 --> 01:00:37,570
But behind the scenes, I picked this up from the Wall Street Journal, had this very long piece.

962
01:00:37,630 --> 01:00:45,270
I just pulled the 47 second intro of what the US military is doing in the South Pacific at the moment.

963
01:00:45,530 --> 01:00:51,010
On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, a sprawling US airfield was left largely abandoned.

964
01:00:51,010 --> 01:00:57,470
For decades, the four runways at the Northern edge of Tinian sat empty, swallowed up by the jungle.

965
01:00:58,610 --> 01:01:01,650
But now, urgent work is taking place to reclaim them.

966
01:01:04,310 --> 01:01:10,970
Military crews are clearing the dense overgrowth to unearth the runways in preparation for a crisis in Asia.

967
01:01:11,570 --> 01:01:16,950
The US hasn't needed this base in decades, but the threat of a conflict with China is rising.

968
01:01:17,470 --> 01:01:22,110
And Beijing has developed weapons capable of striking a vast array of targets.

969
01:01:22,970 --> 01:01:24,570
So the Air Force is adapting.

970
01:01:25,550 --> 01:01:31,530
The work on this island is one of a chain of projects that will form part of a key shift in America's military blueprint.

971
01:01:32,150 --> 01:01:33,570
Yeah, there it is.

972
01:01:34,210 --> 01:01:36,630
The Department of Defense is already on it.

973
01:01:36,730 --> 01:01:37,630
They're already done.

974
01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:39,530
They know that this whole thing is ending.

975
01:01:39,790 --> 01:01:43,970
They probably don't even care about NATO at this point because it's all shifting to China.

976
01:01:44,970 --> 01:01:46,690
And so there's a couple of things.

977
01:01:49,670 --> 01:01:53,550
And on Zakaria's show this morning on CNN.

978
01:01:54,250 --> 01:01:56,430
The anti-constitutionalist douche.

979
01:01:56,570 --> 01:01:57,590
Yeah, he's no good.

980
01:01:57,790 --> 01:02:04,450
He had David Frum, who used to be, I think, a writer for Reagan or something.

981
01:02:04,590 --> 01:02:05,530
He's supposedly a Republican.

982
01:02:05,730 --> 01:02:06,750
Wasn't he a neocon?

983
01:02:06,970 --> 01:02:08,190
Wasn't he in the neocon group?

984
01:02:08,250 --> 01:02:09,870
He's definitely a neocon.

985
01:02:09,970 --> 01:02:12,090
He really should be a Democrat.

986
01:02:12,910 --> 01:02:22,870
Most of the neocons, I think, because of Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney, I think most of the neocons are slightly switching over to becoming the Democrats that they always were.

987
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:24,310
Yeah, yeah.

988
01:02:25,310 --> 01:02:26,770
And I mean, they were originally liberals.

989
01:02:26,950 --> 01:02:34,550
I mean, if you look at the history of the neoconservative movement, it really became, it was part of the neoliberal movement, which was Democrat mostly.

990
01:02:35,110 --> 01:02:37,710
Although the Republicans suffered from that problem too.

991
01:02:39,090 --> 01:02:43,090
And he said that, Frum just said it, and nobody said anything about it.

992
01:02:43,310 --> 01:02:47,410
He says, Trump's already signaled to China that they can have Taiwan.

993
01:02:48,930 --> 01:02:50,510
Why would he say that?

994
01:02:51,030 --> 01:02:52,610
It doesn't make sense to me either.

995
01:02:52,850 --> 01:02:54,710
I was just like, what?

996
01:02:55,130 --> 01:02:55,450
No.

997
01:02:55,530 --> 01:02:56,410
That's bull crap.

998
01:02:56,550 --> 01:03:09,870
And the other thing was, we have one of our producers, a Navy guy, and he said that the admirals are all signaling to everybody that war with China begins.

999
01:03:10,270 --> 01:03:10,830
2027.

1000
01:03:12,530 --> 01:03:12,970
What, sorry?

1001
01:03:13,390 --> 01:03:13,950
2027.

1002
01:03:15,470 --> 01:03:17,070
In 780 days.

1003
01:03:17,410 --> 01:03:18,650
This is a specific number.

1004
01:03:19,430 --> 01:03:20,510
That's 2027.

1005
01:03:20,730 --> 01:03:34,270
I know because I'm receiving information, and actually someone's sending it to me in written form for fear of, this is someone who would know this stuff.

1006
01:03:34,810 --> 01:03:38,830
And he said, oh, well, since the generals are out there, it was Millie.

1007
01:03:38,890 --> 01:03:40,010
Was it Millie that we had?

1008
01:03:40,150 --> 01:03:41,330
Who do we have talking about it?

1009
01:03:41,710 --> 01:03:42,230
2027.

1010
01:03:42,810 --> 01:03:44,050
This is known.

1011
01:03:44,370 --> 01:03:49,610
I mean, inside the Navy and possibly Marines.

1012
01:03:49,870 --> 01:03:53,390
I don't know if the Air Force did, but I think- Well, this all stems from something she said.

1013
01:03:53,850 --> 01:03:54,290
Yes.

1014
01:03:55,670 --> 01:03:59,830
In China, the guy who runs the place.

1015
01:04:00,430 --> 01:04:00,950
Yeah, that guy.

1016
01:04:01,330 --> 01:04:03,630
He said something about 2020.

1017
01:04:03,750 --> 01:04:04,810
They were getting ready or something.

1018
01:04:05,590 --> 01:04:10,930
I'm wondering whether this is just a part of the scheme to build things up and spend money.

1019
01:04:11,410 --> 01:04:12,190
Oh, well, hello.

1020
01:04:12,490 --> 01:04:13,130
I said it.

1021
01:04:13,230 --> 01:04:13,410
Hello.

1022
01:04:13,630 --> 01:04:18,410
Yes, it's all about- Yeah, I know that's what you've been saying all along, but they're getting so specific.

1023
01:04:18,530 --> 01:04:21,690
Yeah, but it's so perfect because you just take Taiwan.

1024
01:04:21,910 --> 01:04:22,930
They're the new Ukraine.

1025
01:04:23,170 --> 01:04:25,670
You do a little skirmish on the border or something.

1026
01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:28,810
And everyone's probably in on it.

1027
01:04:30,310 --> 01:04:32,230
I have to assume everyone's in on it.

1028
01:04:32,390 --> 01:04:39,030
Now, the question is, is Trump in on it or are they doing this kind of thing to make sure he's even more pissed off?

1029
01:04:39,110 --> 01:04:42,730
Next year this evening, multiple sources telling ABC News hackers working for China.

1030
01:04:42,910 --> 01:04:46,130
Multiple sources, Department of Defense, Pentagon.

1031
01:04:46,510 --> 01:04:47,050
What sources?

1032
01:04:47,490 --> 01:04:56,210
Broke into the phone used by Donald Trump's lead criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, and were able to get text messages and able to record calls made on that phone.

1033
01:04:56,770 --> 01:04:57,830
Here's Aaron Kaczorski tonight.

1034
01:04:57,990 --> 01:04:58,430
Thank you, David.

1035
01:04:58,650 --> 01:05:04,330
Tonight, new details on the length Chinese spies will go to infiltrate American politics and President-elect Trump.

1036
01:05:04,510 --> 01:05:12,570
Multiple sources tell ABC News hackers working for China's intelligence service broke into the phone used by Trump's lead criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche.

1037
01:05:12,730 --> 01:05:14,870
Now, we don't have to play the whole thing, but you get the idea.

1038
01:05:15,230 --> 01:05:19,130
It's like, are they taunting Trump to make sure he's still mad at China?

1039
01:05:19,670 --> 01:05:22,430
Or why else does this pop up?

1040
01:05:22,450 --> 01:05:23,930
And how do we know they're Chinese hackers?

1041
01:05:24,130 --> 01:05:25,650
Sources say, this is no good.

1042
01:05:26,390 --> 01:05:27,150
If they're inside the phone network.

1043
01:05:27,150 --> 01:05:36,730
Yeah, and the good hackers that, we've known this since Snowden days, that the misdirection of all this stuff, it could be that our people doing it, making it look, you know, spoofing China.

1044
01:05:36,730 --> 01:05:47,890
We can't even, even these fake phone calls I get every day about how my PG&E bill is gonna be lowered by some guy named Tim, you know, who's got an accent you can barely understand him.

1045
01:05:48,390 --> 01:05:53,050
And the spoofed numbers, you know, it's like, what does it take?

1046
01:05:53,430 --> 01:06:00,530
You know, we have, you and I both complained about Elizabeth Warren and Rachel and these fake phone calls we all get.

1047
01:06:00,610 --> 01:06:01,430
Everybody gets them.

1048
01:06:02,250 --> 01:06:06,770
Is what does it take to stop the ability to spoof phone numbers?

1049
01:06:08,450 --> 01:06:12,090
Well, I'd like to know from some hacker out there, somebody out there has a clue.

1050
01:06:12,310 --> 01:06:13,570
I'm glad you brought that up because.

1051
01:06:13,930 --> 01:06:19,550
Why is it so easy, I'm guessing, to spoof phone numbers?

1052
01:06:19,770 --> 01:06:23,710
I got a call the other day and it said something liquid hardware or something.

1053
01:06:23,810 --> 01:06:24,870
And I said, what is this?

1054
01:06:25,210 --> 01:06:30,610
And the guy says he's from PG&E, you know, he wants to lower my rates on my gas bill.

1055
01:06:30,890 --> 01:06:33,850
And I said, well, how come you're coming in from the hardware company?

1056
01:06:33,850 --> 01:06:34,450
And a click.

1057
01:06:35,050 --> 01:06:39,390
Yeah, it's actually, there's something else going on.

1058
01:06:39,490 --> 01:06:44,990
And someone sent me a video about, it's kind of complicated material, but the basics are quite interesting.

1059
01:06:45,350 --> 01:07:04,420
I think it's the same hack, quote unquote hack, that caused this story, which I truly believe is a psychological operation from the Democrat Party to make everybody worried about Trump the racist.

1060
01:07:04,420 --> 01:07:10,260
Moving on, federal authorities are looking into disturbing and racist text messages sent from unknown numbers.

1061
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:11,240
Stop, stop.

1062
01:07:12,900 --> 01:07:13,860
I think you're right on.

1063
01:07:14,020 --> 01:07:17,340
This is a, Mimi said this, we were talking about it today.

1064
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,200
She says, this has gotta be Democrats doing this because who else would be doing this?

1065
01:07:21,260 --> 01:07:22,620
This only makes nothing but sense.

1066
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,640
I think you nailed it.

1067
01:07:24,940 --> 01:07:28,520
Rather to black Americans in at least 10 different states in this country.

1068
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:34,840
Now, many of the messages which were sent to middle school, high school, and college students make reference to slavery.

1069
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,200
Adriana Diaz has more on this very troubling story.

1070
01:07:38,300 --> 01:07:38,960
Very troubling.

1071
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:44,700
You have been selected to be a house slave at the Fieldview Farm Plantation.

1072
01:07:45,260 --> 01:07:47,220
Be ready on Saturday, November 9th.

1073
01:07:47,220 --> 01:07:52,020
By the way, only a Democrat could dream up something as evil as this.

1074
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,720
Yeah, and then my other favorite one is the picking cotton one.

1075
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:55,600
That's a real killer.

1076
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:56,380
Oh no, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming.

1077
01:07:56,380 --> 01:07:57,440
It's 11 a.m. sharp.

1078
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:04,400
This was a text message to Latasha Nelson's eighth grade daughter, Jamiah, and her friend received while at home in Connecticut.

1079
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,640
My daughter came down and showed me, I was like, wait a minute, I was angry.

1080
01:08:11,860 --> 01:08:12,460
Disgusted.

1081
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:13,860
Two.

1082
01:08:14,140 --> 01:08:23,240
In at least 10 states across the nation, CBS News has learned that black Americans have received anonymous racist text messages similar to these.

1083
01:08:23,819 --> 01:08:31,620
And while varying slightly, many of the messages read, you have been selected to pick cotton or become a house slave at a plantation.

1084
01:08:32,359 --> 01:08:32,779
Let's go.

1085
01:08:34,660 --> 01:08:37,399
Scared, sad, kind of shaken by it.

1086
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:40,740
Devereux Adams lives in Atlanta and is a student at Western.

1087
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:47,380
All right, so the stories just go on and on and on about this, but not a single moment does anyone say, how does this happen?

1088
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:51,540
This is a, these are text messages, just like the phone calls you get.

1089
01:08:52,060 --> 01:08:55,040
How, this is not trackable all of a sudden?

1090
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:56,920
Well, here is the issue.

1091
01:08:57,510 --> 01:09:01,060
It's the SS7, the signaling system number seven.

1092
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:12,560
And signaling system number seven is this, it's kind of a walled garden around all of the telecom networks.

1093
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:24,380
And in order to have interoperability from one network to the other, so from China or Indonesia or America or Canada or Europe, they all have to go through SS7.

1094
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:39,859
And the thing with SS7 is you can become a member of SS7 for, I think it's like $25,000 to kind of get started, or you can buy access to the SS7 network from any number of crappy countries, which everyone's a member of it.

1095
01:09:40,300 --> 01:09:41,560
And that's how it's done.

1096
01:09:41,700 --> 01:09:54,300
That's once you're in that system, then you can spoof numbers, you can send text messages that are not traceable back to a number other than, okay, it's in this country somewhere, which may be Kazakhstan for all I know.

1097
01:09:55,540 --> 01:09:58,080
And we don't really know who sent the message.

1098
01:09:58,260 --> 01:10:00,720
The system is fundamentally broken.

1099
01:10:00,860 --> 01:10:03,920
This SS7 thing is a mess.

1100
01:10:04,140 --> 01:10:04,900
It's a mess.

1101
01:10:05,940 --> 01:10:07,020
And- It's no good.

1102
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,140
It has to be redesigned or just killed.

1103
01:10:10,820 --> 01:10:12,740
Yeah, something has to change with that.

1104
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,040
And it's like amongst the telco guys is this big joke.

1105
01:10:16,100 --> 01:10:17,420
Oh, SS7, yeah, okay.

1106
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:18,460
Yeah, we know.

1107
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:24,060
And you can buy yourself, we could buy our way in and send messages to people about picking cotton.

1108
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:25,100
Yeah.

1109
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:33,760
But it's, and just think of all those political messages that you can call it, but it's not a real number.

1110
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:34,960
You can try and calling back.

1111
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,440
By the way, they did stop, except for Carrie Lake.

1112
01:10:37,820 --> 01:10:40,080
Carrie Lake still needs money and support.

1113
01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:42,140
Oh, she's always needs support, girl.

1114
01:10:42,380 --> 01:10:44,020
She's like, help me.

1115
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,060
Nobody likes her, I guess.

1116
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,620
Help me, I'm in the fight of my life.

1117
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:52,460
People just don't like, if we're talking about racism, I have some clips I wanna play.

1118
01:10:53,060 --> 01:10:53,160
Okay.

1119
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,280
This is Brooks and K-Part.

1120
01:10:58,180 --> 01:10:59,140
Oh, man.

1121
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:00,460
You're going back to the well?

1122
01:11:00,460 --> 01:11:01,120
You've said yes.

1123
01:11:01,180 --> 01:11:02,860
Back to the well, back to the well.

1124
01:11:03,860 --> 01:11:05,000
Brooks and K-Part, yes.

1125
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:07,380
So there's, I have five clips.

1126
01:11:07,580 --> 01:11:18,160
And the thing is, this is a, I guess I'm always beside myself in the fact that PBS cannot put people on that can argue both sides of a debate.

1127
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:27,640
They just have two agreeable guys that think each other are both fabulous and they're both correct, except maybe they're not as correct as I am, and kind of thing.

1128
01:11:28,060 --> 01:11:31,520
So it starts off with a preliminary clip.

1129
01:11:31,620 --> 01:11:34,280
This is Brooks and C, Kelly Dittmar.

1130
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:41,880
And I wanna introduce, this is a woman who's a professor at Rutgers, and she's part of some woman's coalition.

1131
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:48,980
She's a harsh looking kind of, I don't know, it's probably man-hater, if that's the best way to put it.

1132
01:11:49,620 --> 01:11:53,920
And she is just on the war path against Trump and the whole thing.

1133
01:11:54,020 --> 01:11:55,960
And this is after Trump got elected.

1134
01:11:56,380 --> 01:12:01,780
And I thought it was a good prelude to what happens with Brooks and K-Part because they keep referring back to her.

1135
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:08,120
And this is her in mid-sentence talking about, you know, what a creep Trump is and how everything's bad.

1136
01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:22,840
And look at in this election and in how Donald Trump waged his campaign, which was in fact, taking that progress that you've pointed to and reminding a subset of voters that this is somehow threatening, right?

1137
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,320
And that's true along lines of race as well.

1138
01:12:25,540 --> 01:12:36,080
Since the day Donald Trump began campaigning, he tapped into white male grievance politics saying, for example, you know, society is becoming too soft and feminine.

1139
01:12:36,260 --> 01:12:41,980
That's something his supporters are more likely to believe based on public religion research institute data.

1140
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:45,620
Or men are being punished just for being men.

1141
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,980
Gender is a binary and we shouldn't move beyond that.

1142
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:55,500
So we saw that in the anti-trans rhetoric throughout the campaign for Donald Trump and other Republicans down the ballot.

1143
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,820
And so while we see these gains, we have to remember that progress is not inevitable.

1144
01:13:01,180 --> 01:13:13,640
It takes the effort and momentum from everybody, including groups like white women to push back against those who are saying that this progress is somehow bad and threatening to their own communities.

1145
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:21,360
Okay, so the progress is to deny gender is a binary.

1146
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:22,580
That was in there.

1147
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:28,480
And this idea that, well, you know, this transgender thing, they're making too much out of it, these Republicans.

1148
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:30,660
They're making too much out of it.

1149
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:35,740
But meanwhile, it's an underlying theme of everything they do and say and talk about.

1150
01:13:35,740 --> 01:13:37,340
Well, trans is the new black.

1151
01:13:38,380 --> 01:13:39,580
Trans is the new black.

1152
01:13:39,700 --> 01:13:43,700
So now we go to, this is the Brooks and Capehart opener.

1153
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:48,580
For more on Donald Trump's re-election, we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Capehart.

1154
01:13:48,740 --> 01:13:53,980
That's New York Times columnist, David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart, associate editor for the Washington Post.

1155
01:13:54,220 --> 01:13:57,160
Makes it sound like, wow, we've all been waiting for this.

1156
01:13:57,340 --> 01:13:59,560
Woo, yeah, oh, stand by everybody.

1157
01:13:59,580 --> 01:14:00,160
Actually, I have.

1158
01:14:00,220 --> 01:14:01,200
I know you, I know you.

1159
01:14:01,440 --> 01:14:03,500
Stand by, you've all been waiting for it, kids.

1160
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:04,300
Come back, Jeff.

1161
01:14:04,650 --> 01:14:11,760
So we've had a few days to assess the implications of Donald Trump's sweeping victory, winning the electoral college and the popular vote.

1162
01:14:11,860 --> 01:14:14,380
The first time a Republican has done that in some two decades.

1163
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,640
David, what does his really decisive victory reveal to you about this country?

1164
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,600
You know, I think since 2016, we've entered a new political era.

1165
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:30,380
And the period between 1980 and 2016- Hold on a second, I gotta stop this and make a comment.

1166
01:14:31,300 --> 01:14:36,520
This idea that this is the first time they won a popular vote in two decades, that's five election cycles.

1167
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:37,520
That's hardly anything.

1168
01:14:37,780 --> 01:14:39,140
That's the length of this show, hello.

1169
01:14:39,940 --> 01:14:43,560
And they've all, yeah, and they have not, and so what?

1170
01:14:43,780 --> 01:14:44,000
Yeah.

1171
01:14:44,260 --> 01:14:51,340
The whole thing, I have to do a lecture on this and the show one of these days about how this came about.

1172
01:14:51,620 --> 01:15:11,140
It's never been a, and I don't wanna say the electoral college should be dissolved because I don't think so, but it turns out if you look at the history of the country, the electoral college has only once ever not gone with the popular vote once, except for recently.

1173
01:15:11,700 --> 01:15:25,260
And it did it once in 1820, 1820, it's either 1824 or 1828 with John Quincy Adams beating Andrew Jackson, who then went on after that to become president twice.

1174
01:15:25,580 --> 01:15:34,920
And it was the popular vote difference, I believe was 38,000 in favor of Jackson, but Quincy Adams got the, that was it.

1175
01:15:35,140 --> 01:15:37,660
It hadn't happened until you got to George Bush.

1176
01:15:37,860 --> 01:15:42,160
So it's not like, oh, every day Republicans cannot win the popular vote.

1177
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:47,400
They always won the popular vote until, I'm giving the lecture now, it looks like.

1178
01:15:47,500 --> 01:15:47,840
Yeah, no, it's good.

1179
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,500
Until now, and what happened?

1180
01:15:50,660 --> 01:15:52,360
Well, that was- Well, hold on a second.

1181
01:15:52,760 --> 01:16:03,300
Isn't this the same as saying hottest year on record and they just go back to 1950 and don't look at- It's identical to that kind of bull crap.

1182
01:16:03,820 --> 01:16:05,340
And here's what really happened.

1183
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:18,920
It was Karl Rove in the year 2000 when he was the campaign manager, because he was the campaign manager for George Bush in Texas and he became the campaign manager for his election campaign.

1184
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:24,160
And Karl Rove invented the idea of swing states.

1185
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:37,880
And he looked at it, at the whole thing, he said, wait a minute, why are we spending money in California, Washington, and Oregon to get George elected when we're looking for electoral votes?

1186
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,400
They're giving their electoral votes to the Democrats.

1187
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:41,560
That's just the way it is.

1188
01:16:41,740 --> 01:16:42,920
That's the way I see it.

1189
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,340
And he was like a genius about spotting every state.

1190
01:16:45,460 --> 01:16:52,240
He said, now these states, if we can just get them to give George to win- Then we have enough electoral college votes.

1191
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:56,860
And so he's the one who invented the idea of swing states.

1192
01:16:56,860 --> 01:16:58,120
This was carried.

1193
01:16:58,600 --> 01:16:59,300
And so he won.

1194
01:16:59,380 --> 01:17:03,840
Then the next year, George Bush won the popular vote too.

1195
01:17:03,980 --> 01:17:05,260
He did very well for himself.

1196
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:15,160
But that idea was carried forward by Kellyanne Conway when Trump was elected the first time in 2016 and they pulled the same stunt.

1197
01:17:15,480 --> 01:17:16,040
They eked it out.

1198
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:16,920
They eked it out.

1199
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,860
They eked it out by saying, wait, why are we waiting?

1200
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,500
It's a cheap trick.

1201
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:28,860
That's why the Republicans can spend less money on these elections than the Democrats because they don't go for everybody's vote.

1202
01:17:28,980 --> 01:17:31,900
They say, no, we're gonna- In fact, they did, because I'm in California.

1203
01:17:31,900 --> 01:17:32,820
I noticed this.

1204
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,320
They abandoned the state completely.

1205
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,120
And so they ended up with this situation.

1206
01:17:39,300 --> 01:17:44,440
So it's an anomaly that Trump reversed in this last election because he went to California.

1207
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:49,960
He decided to get some popular votes in and he won with the popular vote of 5 million.

1208
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:51,860
So this is bull crap.

1209
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:56,180
Anyone who talks about, oh, you know, they can't win for the 20 years, blah, blah, blah.

1210
01:17:56,580 --> 01:17:58,980
It's all Karl Rove's idea.

1211
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:05,060
It was a workaround that was effective, but it needs to be rebuked.

1212
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:11,720
And we decided that America was moving to a post-industrial economy led by college grads.

1213
01:18:12,060 --> 01:18:15,280
So, so many of our policies were oriented to favor college grads.

1214
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,960
Education policy, let's get everybody in their four-year colleges.

1215
01:18:18,540 --> 01:18:25,500
Immigration policy, let's provide college grads with cheap labor, even though the less skilled people are gonna face some labor competition.

1216
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:31,020
Trade policy, we allowed manufacturing jobs to go overseas while service jobs were not threatened in that way.

1217
01:18:31,380 --> 01:18:41,000
Geographic policy, we had a laissez-faire attitude where talent congregated in Austin and Dallas and Washington and Boston, and we didn't really worry about all those places left behind.

1218
01:18:41,660 --> 01:18:46,100
And so to me, we had a policy that favored college grads and disfavored everybody else.

1219
01:18:46,380 --> 01:18:52,840
And basically in 2016 and emphatically last Tuesday, a lot of people said, I've had enough, we need a change.

1220
01:18:53,460 --> 01:18:59,260
Jonathan, do you see that same kind of realignment that the new fault line in our politics is education level?

1221
01:18:59,460 --> 01:19:00,420
It's one of them.

1222
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:17,320
I mean, I don't disagree with anything that David just said in terms of his analysis, but we cannot ignore what was being discussed in the last segment there with Aaron Haynes and Professor Dittmar.

1223
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:17,800
Trans!

1224
01:19:18,590 --> 01:19:28,980
The role of racism and sexism, misogyny, grievance, white nationalism, that was very much a part of Donald Trump's campaign.

1225
01:19:29,180 --> 01:19:33,080
Oh my Lord, there's no evidence of any of this.

1226
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,480
These people are just talking out of their buttholes.

1227
01:19:38,390 --> 01:19:39,630
It's astonishing to me.

1228
01:19:39,890 --> 01:19:50,730
And then, because Brooks and Capehart are basically on the same team, probably in more ways than one, yeah, Brooks ends up agreeing with him.

1229
01:19:50,830 --> 01:19:51,930
And here we go to the next clip.

1230
01:19:52,630 --> 01:19:55,310
And I think we need to acknowledge it.

1231
01:19:55,510 --> 01:19:56,630
We need to talk about it.

1232
01:19:56,730 --> 01:20:02,770
And then I think as a country, we need to confront it.

1233
01:20:02,930 --> 01:20:05,010
We've never done it in our history.

1234
01:20:05,650 --> 01:20:30,050
We probably won't do it now, but I think we need to acknowledge the fact that the incoming president of the United States openly ran on racist messages about fellow citizens, non-citizens, people who have always come to this country seeking a better life long before build the wall.

1235
01:20:30,910 --> 01:20:33,530
So yeah, we could talk about education realignment.

1236
01:20:33,650 --> 01:20:35,770
We can talk about political realignment.

1237
01:20:35,950 --> 01:20:48,150
But until we talk about the grievances that Donald Trump exploited, as Professor Dittmar said, we're gonna be in this mess for a while.

1238
01:20:48,350 --> 01:20:49,990
What about that, David, that that wasn't disqualified?

1239
01:20:49,990 --> 01:20:50,510
Hold on a second.

1240
01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:52,790
The professor talked about trans.

1241
01:20:53,350 --> 01:20:55,350
How come these guys are talking about race?

1242
01:20:56,910 --> 01:20:59,490
Well, she did mention misogyny.

1243
01:21:00,110 --> 01:21:02,330
Yeah, but that's not- And race and misogyny, same thing.

1244
01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:03,450
It's all part of the same bucket.

1245
01:21:04,570 --> 01:21:05,530
I agree.

1246
01:21:05,910 --> 01:21:12,650
I wanna mention something here, which is, for anyone listening to this, I have a line that is very good.

1247
01:21:12,790 --> 01:21:24,830
I heard it, I got it from, not from a meme, but I got it from somebody's post, and I thought it was a great idea to use as a one-liner, which is when somebody says, why the heck, Kamala Lewis?

1248
01:21:25,010 --> 01:21:34,930
Well, we knew all along that this was a racist country, and she's black, and it's also a misogynist country.

1249
01:21:34,930 --> 01:21:37,950
She's black, she's a woman, she's a South Asian.

1250
01:21:38,090 --> 01:21:42,350
We knew this all along, that's why she lost, because of the racism and the misogyny.

1251
01:21:42,870 --> 01:21:48,710
And you counter, you say, at this point, you say to them, well, then why did they nominate her if you knew all that?

1252
01:21:51,930 --> 01:21:52,650
Yeah, exactly.

1253
01:21:53,350 --> 01:21:55,210
Why did you nominate her if you knew all that?

1254
01:21:55,330 --> 01:21:58,330
You listen to these two jokers going on and on and on.

1255
01:21:58,650 --> 01:22:00,710
Well, that's fine, okay, if you accept that.

1256
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:02,230
Why did you nominate her?

1257
01:22:02,350 --> 01:22:04,290
Why don't you run somebody else that could win?

1258
01:22:04,290 --> 01:22:17,850
Because, well, the answer is, in what we heard previously, because they're so tied up in DEI and wokeness and political correctness, they couldn't say, well, she sucks.

1259
01:22:18,430 --> 01:22:22,390
They couldn't say that, because she's a black Asian woman and a woman.

1260
01:22:22,910 --> 01:22:26,890
They couldn't say it, and- Of course not, of course not, they can't say anything.

1261
01:22:26,890 --> 01:22:34,630
Do these jamokes ever get to some conclusion here, that what the real issues are, is it just more Trump is- A racist.

1262
01:22:34,890 --> 01:22:48,190
I'm looking either for some self-analysis, which you don't expect, or I'm looking for what are they, what is the, because I haven't found it yet, what is the track they're going to go after Trump with?

1263
01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:50,650
What is the thing they're gonna try and go after him with?

1264
01:22:50,650 --> 01:22:52,770
Oh, I haven't found that either, I'm looking for it.

1265
01:22:52,850 --> 01:22:54,490
Because everyone wants him in.

1266
01:22:54,490 --> 01:22:56,030
They can't use the old ones.

1267
01:22:56,150 --> 01:22:57,210
No, they want him in.

1268
01:22:57,210 --> 01:23:15,430
He is the chosen one to do the China gambit, to deal with whatever happens with the economy in 2026 cyclical issue, while they should be licking their wounds and figuring out why the country doesn't care about them.

1269
01:23:15,770 --> 01:23:19,170
And the mainstream, they're the ones that have the biggest problem.

1270
01:23:19,530 --> 01:23:21,010
There's no Trump bump, baby.

1271
01:23:21,570 --> 01:23:23,190
No one's listening to you anymore.

1272
01:23:24,330 --> 01:23:25,990
Yes, this is a problem.

1273
01:23:25,990 --> 01:23:32,010
This little short clip here is the dollar sign clip that says, wow, it's the dollar sign was supposed to be a four.

1274
01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:33,310
I got you.

1275
01:23:33,890 --> 01:23:37,110
Yeah, a million things have shocked me that have not been disqualifying about Donald Trump.

1276
01:23:37,230 --> 01:23:39,770
I personally think Donald Trump is clearly misogynist.

1277
01:23:40,070 --> 01:23:41,150
I think he's clearly a racist.

1278
01:23:41,290 --> 01:23:43,090
I think that's been in his family for generations.

1279
01:23:43,350 --> 01:23:45,250
Oh my gosh.

1280
01:23:46,530 --> 01:23:50,390
Wow, fire these guys, put them into that special company.

1281
01:23:51,150 --> 01:23:52,530
He's clearly a racist.

1282
01:23:52,930 --> 01:23:53,370
Obviously.

1283
01:23:54,070 --> 01:23:55,550
So give us some examples.

1284
01:23:56,110 --> 01:23:59,630
Well, you see all the hip hop guys, they voted for him because they're racist too.

1285
01:24:00,770 --> 01:24:01,950
That's just no examples.

1286
01:24:02,650 --> 01:24:05,350
This is, these guys are ruining the show.

1287
01:24:05,750 --> 01:24:07,290
They have no new material.

1288
01:24:08,050 --> 01:24:14,010
Let's go with the last clip of the group then and I'll reconsider ever putting them back on the show.

1289
01:24:14,250 --> 01:24:21,530
Well, if they come up with something new, I mean, they're talking themselves out of a gig here.

1290
01:24:22,230 --> 01:24:23,610
Does anyone watch this?

1291
01:24:24,150 --> 01:24:25,030
Someone must.

1292
01:24:26,130 --> 01:24:31,130
But to make that argument, somehow you also have to explain why the gender gap went down.

1293
01:24:31,710 --> 01:24:34,350
Why Kamala Harris did worse among women than Joe Biden did.

1294
01:24:34,430 --> 01:24:34,870
Because they're misogynists.

1295
01:24:34,870 --> 01:24:36,090
Somehow you have to explain why.

1296
01:24:36,170 --> 01:24:37,670
Because women are misogynists.

1297
01:24:37,890 --> 01:24:41,750
Trump got more black voters than any Republican since Richard Nixon.

1298
01:24:41,850 --> 01:24:43,130
Because black voters are racist.

1299
01:24:43,510 --> 01:24:47,870
Somehow you have to explain how he massively improved Republican standing among Hispanic voters.

1300
01:24:47,910 --> 01:24:49,150
This is actually good.

1301
01:24:49,790 --> 01:24:52,630
And so he created this broad network.

1302
01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:58,050
And the way I would explain those phenomenon is race and sexism are clearly major facts in American life.

1303
01:24:58,410 --> 01:25:04,310
But I think in our politics, class is rising in salience and race and gender are falling in salience.

1304
01:25:04,310 --> 01:25:14,210
And when you say people had to choose between their race or their gender for about white women, you're ignoring that they have brains and that they have economic views, they have social views, they have a million other views.

1305
01:25:14,910 --> 01:25:20,190
And so those views are part of how people make their decisions, not just an ethnic identity.

1306
01:25:20,830 --> 01:25:22,710
It's all part of the stew.

1307
01:25:23,310 --> 01:25:29,590
And all I'm arguing is don't ignore the potatoes and the carrots while also focusing on the meat.

1308
01:25:29,910 --> 01:25:30,110
Okay.

1309
01:25:30,770 --> 01:25:31,910
I'm all for eating.

1310
01:25:32,530 --> 01:25:34,150
I'm on a protein diet right now.

1311
01:25:34,490 --> 01:25:39,330
If I ever start using stew as an analogy on this podcast.

1312
01:25:39,330 --> 01:25:40,830
Yes, I will have someone shoot you.

1313
01:25:40,930 --> 01:25:41,470
Yes, please.

1314
01:25:41,550 --> 01:25:42,690
That is very necessary.

1315
01:25:43,150 --> 01:25:44,670
You know, Tina said something the other day.

1316
01:25:44,730 --> 01:25:50,270
She said that the problem with Democrats when they talk to women is they only talk below the belt.

1317
01:25:50,870 --> 01:25:54,090
So that's the only that when they're talking, they're looking at your vagina.

1318
01:25:54,270 --> 01:25:54,950
Nothing else.

1319
01:25:56,270 --> 01:25:57,650
I think there's something to that.

1320
01:25:58,170 --> 01:25:59,790
There was no real talk of women.

1321
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:04,550
It was all about abortion and- It's all about abortion.

1322
01:26:04,650 --> 01:26:07,430
And do you have the right equipment that you need or whatever.

1323
01:26:09,010 --> 01:26:15,270
Okay, back to the world stage for a moment as there was a meeting in Hungary.

1324
01:26:16,310 --> 01:26:21,090
Viktor Orban, you know, the far right Donald Trump- Far right maniac.

1325
01:26:21,410 --> 01:26:22,070
Yeah, maniac.

1326
01:26:22,810 --> 01:26:27,290
He's now, Hungary now holds the presidency for the European Union.

1327
01:26:27,450 --> 01:26:35,570
I believe that was part of the deal where he said, okay, I'll let you send 50 billion euros, which America- But that was rotating.

1328
01:26:36,170 --> 01:26:36,650
Yes, rotating.

1329
01:26:36,650 --> 01:26:37,930
I thought that deal was something else.

1330
01:26:38,030 --> 01:26:42,810
I thought the fact that they're head of the European Union at the moment is a rotating position, that they were up.

1331
01:26:42,890 --> 01:26:44,110
It is rotating, yes.

1332
01:26:45,970 --> 01:26:52,250
But everyone comes over there because he basically, they didn't kill him because he said, okay, you can send money to Ukraine.

1333
01:26:52,490 --> 01:26:53,850
I think that's a fair assessment.

1334
01:26:54,910 --> 01:26:57,590
It's like, we won't kill you if you let us send the money to Ukraine.

1335
01:26:58,690 --> 01:27:01,370
So the outgoing dude, I forget his name.

1336
01:27:02,410 --> 01:27:04,590
Is that from, did Italy have it?

1337
01:27:04,770 --> 01:27:05,950
Maybe Italy had it.

1338
01:27:07,890 --> 01:27:19,790
And of course, Queen Ursula had to come in to give a little update because she spoke to President-Elect Trump, and, you know, we're gonna negotiate, don't you worry.

1339
01:27:20,030 --> 01:27:27,530
There's a lot of fear in Europe about the tariffs, particularly Italy, I might add, according to Willow, who lives there.

1340
01:27:27,910 --> 01:27:30,930
So the Italians are all freaked out because we're a huge export country.

1341
01:27:31,130 --> 01:27:34,150
So it's more about cars than anything.

1342
01:27:36,190 --> 01:27:39,150
So, you know, I don't think you have to worry about your Italian cars.

1343
01:27:40,290 --> 01:27:41,350
I don't think so either.

1344
01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:44,630
People who want to buy a Ferrari will pay whatever they want for it.

1345
01:27:44,790 --> 01:27:46,870
So don't you talk about, yeah, but- You're already overpriced.

1346
01:27:46,930 --> 01:27:50,210
All right, you know, our olive oil, and I said, don't worry about that.

1347
01:27:50,250 --> 01:27:51,490
I don't think that's gonna be the problem.

1348
01:27:53,110 --> 01:27:57,370
Anyway, Queen Ursula, you might have seen a 20-second version of this clip.

1349
01:27:57,450 --> 01:28:00,450
I went back and got the full version just so we could hear all in context.

1350
01:28:02,790 --> 01:28:06,710
The second question was, Victor, it was something with the two of us and I forgot the content.

1351
01:28:06,990 --> 01:28:08,870
How to negotiate with Trump on trade.

1352
01:28:08,950 --> 01:28:09,150
Ah.

1353
01:28:11,350 --> 01:28:11,590
Sorry.

1354
01:28:14,750 --> 01:28:17,110
How to negotiate with Trump on trade.

1355
01:28:17,670 --> 01:28:20,570
Yes, so I think, first of all, engage.

1356
01:28:20,850 --> 01:28:23,210
Very important, what we have started yesterday.

1357
01:28:24,050 --> 01:28:27,310
Secondly, discuss about common interests.

1358
01:28:27,790 --> 01:28:29,390
And there are common interests that we have.

1359
01:28:30,090 --> 01:28:32,450
So, and then go into negotiations.

1360
01:28:33,270 --> 01:28:38,030
Common interests are, for example, this is one topic that we touched upon.

1361
01:28:38,190 --> 01:28:40,390
I would not say discussed, but we touched upon yesterday.

1362
01:28:41,070 --> 01:28:42,530
It's the whole topic of LNG.

1363
01:28:42,950 --> 01:28:46,330
We still get a lot of LNG via Russia, from Russia.

1364
01:28:47,230 --> 01:28:55,670
And why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices.

1365
01:28:56,190 --> 01:29:00,090
But it's something where we can get into a discussion.

1366
01:29:00,890 --> 01:29:02,730
Also what our trade deficit is concerned.

1367
01:29:03,470 --> 01:29:07,890
So engage, look at common interests, and then negotiate.

1368
01:29:08,310 --> 01:29:09,710
Thank you for saying what.

1369
01:29:09,710 --> 01:29:11,410
First of all, what?

1370
01:29:11,890 --> 01:29:14,590
You are still getting gas from Russia?

1371
01:29:15,150 --> 01:29:15,910
What happened to these stations?

1372
01:29:15,910 --> 01:29:19,410
And how is it more expensive than hauling it over on a ship?

1373
01:29:19,690 --> 01:29:26,550
Well, that's a lie, but this is something that happened earlier in the week, which went completely underreported.

1374
01:29:26,650 --> 01:29:31,970
Russia has closed one of the biggest gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream 1.

1375
01:29:32,350 --> 01:29:37,770
It begins in Northwest Russia, passes through the Baltic Sea, and empties into Germany.

1376
01:29:37,770 --> 01:29:41,310
It is the longest subsea pipeline in the world.

1377
01:29:41,690 --> 01:29:44,890
This pipeline keeps Europe running, especially Germany.

1378
01:29:45,330 --> 01:29:47,590
So this shutdown has spooked the German government.

1379
01:29:48,310 --> 01:29:50,090
They fear the lights could go off.

1380
01:29:50,650 --> 01:29:52,830
So Europe is going all out in preparation.

1381
01:29:53,010 --> 01:29:55,990
Their first order of business is violating their own sanctions.

1382
01:29:56,410 --> 01:29:57,970
This is very interesting, let me explain.

1383
01:29:58,410 --> 01:30:02,050
Russia needs a specific turbine to repair the Nord Stream pipeline.

1384
01:30:02,590 --> 01:30:04,390
But that turbine is not in Russia.

1385
01:30:04,630 --> 01:30:06,470
It was sent to Canada for repairs.

1386
01:30:06,830 --> 01:30:10,590
Now, if Canada returns it, it would violate Western sanctions.

1387
01:30:10,990 --> 01:30:13,510
If not, Russia could drag out the shutdown.

1388
01:30:14,210 --> 01:30:17,170
The Western plan is to achieve energy security.

1389
01:30:18,270 --> 01:30:19,390
And their chosen method?

1390
01:30:20,130 --> 01:30:22,270
Violating their own sanctions on Russia.

1391
01:30:22,650 --> 01:30:26,270
Now, I don't know about you- Wait, clip of the day.

1392
01:30:26,630 --> 01:30:28,050
Oh, well, gee, thank you.

1393
01:30:28,110 --> 01:30:29,990
I know, I didn't- I didn't- Whoa!

1394
01:30:30,250 --> 01:30:34,230
♪ Clip of the day ♪ I never heard this either.

1395
01:30:34,230 --> 01:30:41,290
Why are we being- Why is this information on- You know, we have CBS and NBC and ABC doing all this news reporting.

1396
01:30:41,510 --> 01:30:43,790
What are they talking about that they don't talk about this?

1397
01:30:43,810 --> 01:30:45,590
They're talking about trans and race.

1398
01:30:46,950 --> 01:30:48,470
That's all they do.

1399
01:30:48,570 --> 01:30:50,050
They're just gaslighting everybody.

1400
01:30:50,190 --> 01:30:51,330
Oh, trans rights.

1401
01:30:51,450 --> 01:30:52,170
Oh, race.

1402
01:30:52,290 --> 01:30:53,130
Oh, misogyny.

1403
01:30:53,530 --> 01:30:58,890
Meanwhile, that cannot be a coincidence that- And this happened just before the election.

1404
01:30:59,450 --> 01:31:01,550
Russia, like- Or maybe it was right after the election.

1405
01:31:01,690 --> 01:31:02,210
Russia, click.

1406
01:31:02,290 --> 01:31:02,830
I'm sorry.

1407
01:31:03,250 --> 01:31:06,330
We're just cutting off your gas because we don't have that turbine.

1408
01:31:06,430 --> 01:31:14,370
And we know about this turbine story because it popped up months and months ago that the turbine has to be repaired and it has to happen in Canada.

1409
01:31:14,510 --> 01:31:15,890
And Canada's like, no, we can't do that.

1410
01:31:16,030 --> 01:31:20,650
But all of this has thrown the German parliament into disarray.

1411
01:31:20,970 --> 01:31:22,010
Yeah, they fell apart.

1412
01:31:22,510 --> 01:31:25,210
Throws the German government into a period of uncertainty.

1413
01:31:25,450 --> 01:31:32,530
But Germany's chancellor says he had no other choice but to fire his finance minister, bringing down his own coalition.

1414
01:31:33,710 --> 01:31:40,710
Too often, the necessary compromises have been drowned out by publicly staged disputes and loud ideological demands.

1415
01:31:41,630 --> 01:31:44,910
Too often, he is engaged in petty party political tactics.

1416
01:31:45,370 --> 01:31:47,410
Too often, he has broken my trust.

1417
01:31:48,770 --> 01:32:02,830
Up until now, Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats, the Greens, and the pro-business Free Democrats had been part of a fragile coalition, but that was brought to breaking point after weeks of differences over how to boost the German economy.

1418
01:32:03,430 --> 01:32:15,910
Scholz and the Greens wanted massive state investment, but Christian Lindner, now the former finance minister, rejected both tax increases and any changes to Germany's strict rules on debt.

1419
01:32:18,290 --> 01:32:24,230
This afternoon, the chancellor gave me an ultimatum to suspend the constitutional debt break.

1420
01:32:27,590 --> 01:32:31,830
I couldn't do that because I would have been breaking my oath of office.

1421
01:32:34,110 --> 01:32:38,170
Germany's economy is set to shrink in 2024 for the second year running.

1422
01:32:38,790 --> 01:32:46,010
Scholz says he'll seek a vote of confidence in the German parliament in mid-January, which could pave the way for early elections.

1423
01:32:46,610 --> 01:32:52,210
So, you know, the finance minister's like, no, we have a rule here.

1424
01:32:52,270 --> 01:32:54,210
We're not going to borrow more money than ex-governors.

1425
01:32:54,210 --> 01:32:57,630
And then no matter what the problem is, we're not going to do it.

1426
01:32:57,730 --> 01:32:58,710
Scholz says, get out.

1427
01:32:58,870 --> 01:33:02,590
And now they're on track for elections, but hold the phone.

1428
01:33:04,710 --> 01:33:08,210
Headline, early elections in Germany may not be possible.

1429
01:33:09,170 --> 01:33:10,270
Have you heard this?

1430
01:33:10,350 --> 01:33:11,630
Why it may not be possible?

1431
01:33:12,410 --> 01:33:13,990
No, I haven't heard any of this stuff.

1432
01:33:14,070 --> 01:33:16,610
It's so bad in Germany.

1433
01:33:17,670 --> 01:33:19,290
This is where you say, how bad is it?

1434
01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:20,690
How bad is it?

1435
01:33:21,330 --> 01:33:26,730
They may not be able to hold elections in Germany because of a lack of paper for the ballots.

1436
01:33:30,150 --> 01:33:35,490
There's not enough paper in the country, which could be, yes.

1437
01:33:35,670 --> 01:33:36,930
What is wrong with these people?

1438
01:33:37,070 --> 01:33:40,330
This is all began, this all began and we've tracked it.

1439
01:33:40,510 --> 01:33:45,470
When they started shutting down the nuclear reactors to appease the Greens.

1440
01:33:47,090 --> 01:33:47,230
No.

1441
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:47,890
Climate change.

1442
01:33:47,990 --> 01:33:48,850
Yeah, no, exactly.

1443
01:33:49,150 --> 01:33:50,490
Due to climate change.

1444
01:33:50,650 --> 01:33:51,150
Exactly.

1445
01:33:52,050 --> 01:33:59,770
Now it's possible, it's possible that this is some gambit so they can get electronic voting machines in there.

1446
01:33:59,930 --> 01:34:00,230
I don't know.

1447
01:34:00,330 --> 01:34:02,230
That's just something that occurred to me.

1448
01:34:02,290 --> 01:34:02,830
Vote by internet.

1449
01:34:04,990 --> 01:34:06,070
That'll be great.

1450
01:34:06,330 --> 01:34:14,450
So we're not sure how they're going to solve this, but I think we should send them paper, you know, or maybe we have kids.

1451
01:34:15,010 --> 01:34:21,390
Everyone save one page of paper at school and we'll send it to those poor people in Germany because they don't have any paper.

1452
01:34:22,370 --> 01:34:25,610
I mean, I thought Germany was a big paper country.

1453
01:34:26,130 --> 01:34:27,370
I know they make pencils.

1454
01:34:27,710 --> 01:34:29,130
I know they're big on the pencil side.

1455
01:34:29,250 --> 01:34:35,130
Bruno Brunzel and they got these big industrial giants of, I don't know, it's baffling to me.

1456
01:34:35,590 --> 01:34:43,910
And if that's the state of the German economy, whoo, Europe, I mean, all of Europe is going to be in dire, dire straits.

1457
01:34:45,510 --> 01:34:46,630
Just they're not already.

1458
01:34:46,810 --> 01:34:47,070
Yeah.

1459
01:34:47,070 --> 01:34:51,950
Anyway, I do have one clip from question time, prime minister's question time.

1460
01:34:52,090 --> 01:34:53,550
We haven't had that in a while on the show.

1461
01:34:54,770 --> 01:34:57,590
Keir Starmer is the new prime minister.

1462
01:34:58,490 --> 01:35:05,590
And well, there was some interesting questions during question time and it was just your typical funny little Brit humor bit.

1463
01:35:06,350 --> 01:35:13,050
As leader of his majesty's opposition, I will be taking a different approach to the last opposition by being a constructive opposition.

1464
01:35:13,630 --> 01:35:18,910
And so I would like to start by congratulating President-elect Trump on his impressive victory this morning.

1465
01:35:19,650 --> 01:35:22,650
The prime minister and the foreign secretary met him in September.

1466
01:35:23,190 --> 01:35:37,670
Did the foreign secretary take that opportunity to apologize for making derogatory and scatological references, including, and I quote, Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order.

1467
01:35:37,950 --> 01:35:42,050
And if he did not apologize, will the prime minister do so now on his behalf?

1468
01:35:45,730 --> 01:35:51,290
The foreign secretary and I did meet President-elect Trump just a few weeks ago for dinner for about a couple of hours.

1469
01:35:51,450 --> 01:35:54,770
We discussed a number of issues of global significance.

1470
01:35:55,110 --> 01:35:57,630
It was a very constructive exercise.

1471
01:36:02,590 --> 01:36:04,050
It was the best.

1472
01:36:04,350 --> 01:36:05,050
It was the best.

1473
01:36:05,790 --> 01:36:06,050
Yeah.

1474
01:36:06,190 --> 01:36:06,670
I love it.

1475
01:36:06,790 --> 01:36:18,350
Well, Katie Hopkins talked about this in that last clip that we played last show, where, you know, these guys, big mouths, big talkers, and that foreign secretary said what she said there.

1476
01:36:18,730 --> 01:36:20,510
This is not gonna go over.

1477
01:36:22,770 --> 01:36:23,610
Oh, man.

1478
01:36:23,990 --> 01:36:25,710
The world is funny.

1479
01:36:26,190 --> 01:36:26,770
It's funny.

1480
01:36:26,890 --> 01:36:29,810
But we're here to keep everybody on track.

1481
01:36:30,830 --> 01:36:34,630
Well, since we're doing that, since you're the expert on this one, what's going on in Amsterdam?

1482
01:36:35,870 --> 01:36:36,830
Oh, yeah.

1483
01:36:37,190 --> 01:36:38,290
I have the two clips.

1484
01:36:38,630 --> 01:36:39,430
Okay, hold on a second.

1485
01:36:40,530 --> 01:36:41,270
Here we go.

1486
01:36:41,550 --> 01:36:49,430
There's increased security in Amsterdam in the aftermath of violence that broke out after a soccer match between Israeli and Dutch teams Thursday night.

1487
01:36:50,050 --> 01:36:57,370
Attacks on Israeli fans who had confronted pro-Palestinian protests earlier were immediately denounced as anti-Semitic.

1488
01:36:57,690 --> 01:36:59,830
Reporter Terri Schultz joins us from Amsterdam.

1489
01:37:00,070 --> 01:37:01,370
Terri, thanks for being with us.

1490
01:37:01,650 --> 01:37:02,170
Hi, Scott.

1491
01:37:02,630 --> 01:37:04,890
Amsterdam's mayor called Thursday a dark night.

1492
01:37:05,010 --> 01:37:05,830
What is it like there now?

1493
01:37:06,710 --> 01:37:11,090
Well, it's calm on the outside, but there's still plenty of tension under the surface.

1494
01:37:11,500 --> 01:37:19,810
Right now, I'm outside the Amsterdam Modern Orthodox Synagogue, and the city said it was putting extra security in place around locations like this, which they feared could be targets.

1495
01:37:20,270 --> 01:37:30,610
They're determined to prevent more incidents like were seen overnight Thursday, where supporters of the Israeli soccer team were, in the words of Dutch authorities themselves, hunted down and brutally beaten for being Jewish.

1496
01:37:30,950 --> 01:37:38,970
All demonstrations have been banned in Amsterdam through the weekend, and there are reports police are conducting home searches of people suspected in taking part in the attacks.

1497
01:37:38,970 --> 01:37:45,670
The Israeli fans were given security and special transport to the airport Friday, and extra flights were added to get them back to Tel Aviv quickly.

1498
01:37:46,210 --> 01:37:49,650
Members of the Dutch government, and even the king, I gather, have spoken out.

1499
01:37:49,790 --> 01:37:50,430
What have they said?

1500
01:37:50,950 --> 01:37:51,550
That's right.

1501
01:37:51,650 --> 01:37:54,730
There's been a lot of outrage from abroad and domestically.

1502
01:37:55,110 --> 01:37:56,650
Here's Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schaaf.

1503
01:37:57,170 --> 01:38:06,910
It's a terrible anti-Semitic attack, and we will not tolerate, and we will persecute perpetrators, and I'm deeply ashamed that it could happen in the Netherlands in 2024.

1504
01:38:06,910 --> 01:38:11,470
I'm very happy that there's another Dutch guy on the scene who we can talk to, a perpetrator.

1505
01:38:12,150 --> 01:38:13,770
This guy is worse than Rutte.

1506
01:38:13,850 --> 01:38:16,710
This guy barely can get sentences out.

1507
01:38:16,750 --> 01:38:16,930
Yeah.

1508
01:38:17,030 --> 01:38:20,190
I have thoughts, but maybe you want to play the, should I play your second clip first?

1509
01:38:20,270 --> 01:38:20,950
Yeah, might as well.

1510
01:38:21,010 --> 01:38:22,070
Then you can tell us what you know.

1511
01:38:22,110 --> 01:38:22,390
Okay, all right.

1512
01:38:22,470 --> 01:38:25,850
And of course, there's ugly history here, isn't there?

1513
01:38:26,250 --> 01:38:26,990
That's right.

1514
01:38:27,290 --> 01:38:38,730
Israeli Prime Minister, Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog said Dutch King Willem-Alexander called him Friday and said, quote, We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night, we failed again.

1515
01:38:39,250 --> 01:38:48,170
That's referring to the fact, as you mentioned, that the Netherlands is one of the countries which had the highest percentage of its Jewish population, over 70% killed during the Holocaust.

1516
01:38:48,730 --> 01:38:58,770
And beyond that, Scott, tonight will be the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis and their supporters rampaged through Jewish synagogues and businesses and arrested tens of thousands of Jews.

1517
01:38:59,350 --> 01:39:04,230
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema even referred to this tragic history in a press conference about the soccer incident.

1518
01:39:04,870 --> 01:39:18,930
The survivors of the Holocaust, their children and grandchildren, she said, have admirably rebuilt their own communities after the war and made their city, which had failed them terribly during the war, flourish again.

1519
01:39:19,450 --> 01:39:22,650
Halsema says she's ashamed of her city and furious.

1520
01:39:23,290 --> 01:39:33,950
Terry, Dutch officials have confirmed reports that some Israeli soccer fans ripped up a Palestinian flag and shouted praise, sometimes using graphic language for the destruction of Gaza.

1521
01:39:34,310 --> 01:39:35,470
Is that being discussed?

1522
01:39:36,150 --> 01:39:38,690
Well, it is a bit on the authorities' side.

1523
01:39:38,770 --> 01:39:41,990
They've really focused on condemning the anti-Semitic attacks for now.

1524
01:39:42,210 --> 01:39:49,250
But on social media and when talking to people in the streets, as I have, they also criticize the actions of the Israeli fans and soccer hooligans.

1525
01:39:49,770 --> 01:40:01,530
What's seen as this imbalanced response is being called out by pro-Palestinian activists like Nadia Slimi, a 28-year-old woman who was present Thursday night at a planned protest that was kept away from the soccer stadium.

1526
01:40:01,950 --> 01:40:09,210
The way that they treat us, the Palestinian protesters, with so much violence, and we do not get escorts to our houses.

1527
01:40:09,350 --> 01:40:12,550
We get escorts to jail or we get escorts to far outside of the city.

1528
01:40:13,370 --> 01:40:15,650
All right, I'll give you some facts and I'll give you my opinion.

1529
01:40:16,150 --> 01:40:24,290
Well, first, before you do that, I want to ask you the question, was Kristallnacht, I thought it was a German phenomenon, in Germany.

1530
01:40:24,290 --> 01:40:26,750
Did it take place in Holland and Amsterdam?

1531
01:40:27,150 --> 01:40:28,130
No, no.

1532
01:40:28,230 --> 01:40:28,690
Of course not.

1533
01:40:28,690 --> 01:40:30,130
But that's part of the analysis.

1534
01:40:30,410 --> 01:40:30,670
Why?

1535
01:40:31,030 --> 01:40:40,010
Instead of saying this is about Gaza and Israel, it's all Kristallnacht and it's the Jews being persecuted.

1536
01:40:40,170 --> 01:40:42,790
It's probably a form of Jew abuse, Jebus.

1537
01:40:43,770 --> 01:40:45,210
But first, the facts.

1538
01:40:45,810 --> 01:40:49,550
And I think what's, and remember, the government in the Netherlands now is Geert Wilders.

1539
01:40:49,630 --> 01:40:54,870
This is the guy very pro-Israel and very anti-Islam.

1540
01:40:57,430 --> 01:41:00,510
The, oh, I'm sorry, not the, he's the leader of the party.

1541
01:41:00,950 --> 01:41:02,530
He did not become prime minister.

1542
01:41:02,690 --> 01:41:10,790
Instead, he chose the guy you heard talking and he is the former director of all the intelligence services in the Netherlands.

1543
01:41:10,990 --> 01:41:12,470
A very odd choice.

1544
01:41:12,710 --> 01:41:13,510
Spook, yes, a spook.

1545
01:41:14,410 --> 01:41:18,950
So the facts are, the people in the Netherlands are sick of it.

1546
01:41:19,010 --> 01:41:23,150
They are sick of the Islamification, as they call it, of the Netherlands.

1547
01:41:24,110 --> 01:41:28,190
Moroccan gangs run the country, in essence.

1548
01:41:28,950 --> 01:41:32,950
They, and they've been killing journalists and all, left and right, doesn't matter.

1549
01:41:33,130 --> 01:41:39,570
The gangs, the macro mafia, and you can get someone killed now for 500 euros.

1550
01:41:39,690 --> 01:41:42,970
Used to be 50,000, 5,000, now it's 500, no problem.

1551
01:41:43,250 --> 01:41:45,190
They're running all the drugs all throughout Europe.

1552
01:41:45,310 --> 01:41:46,810
They're running it through the port of Rotterdam.

1553
01:41:47,470 --> 01:41:58,190
And the, what they call asylum seekers are being shoved into all these little towns, into these asylum centers, and it's just rampant.

1554
01:41:58,350 --> 01:42:04,490
And when I returned to the Netherlands at the end of 1999, and I moved back to Amsterdam, I had no idea.

1555
01:42:04,550 --> 01:42:06,110
I'm like, what happened to this country?

1556
01:42:06,530 --> 01:42:09,590
And it was only in a matter of, how long was I gone, since 87?

1557
01:42:10,250 --> 01:42:12,890
So, you know, it was 12, 13 years.

1558
01:42:13,450 --> 01:42:14,530
And it's like, what happened?

1559
01:42:14,590 --> 01:42:32,870
And there was a guy, a very educated professor, a very, very educated, very well-spoken, extremely high Dutch language use, incredibly flamboyant gay guy called Pim Vertoon.

1560
01:42:33,410 --> 01:42:37,430
And Pim Vertoon was, he said, I'm sick of this stuff.

1561
01:42:37,870 --> 01:42:42,830
I'm running for, I'm running for office to become the prime minister of the Netherlands.

1562
01:42:43,370 --> 01:42:50,110
And his number one talking point was, we have to stop the Islamification of the Netherlands.

1563
01:42:50,510 --> 01:42:51,670
It makes no sense.

1564
01:42:52,150 --> 01:42:53,470
We don't need these people here.

1565
01:42:53,550 --> 01:42:55,850
These are not the right people you're sending from Morocco.

1566
01:42:56,130 --> 01:42:58,530
It sounds similar, by the way, to Trump.

1567
01:42:58,810 --> 01:43:03,810
You're sending us your criminals, your nutcases, and we're going to stop all this.

1568
01:43:04,250 --> 01:43:05,670
That is the platform I'm running on.

1569
01:43:05,990 --> 01:43:07,310
What happens to Pim Vertoon?

1570
01:43:08,310 --> 01:43:10,170
Assassinated two weeks before the election.

1571
01:43:10,950 --> 01:43:15,670
His party won posthumously, which of course fell apart because they had no leader.

1572
01:43:16,070 --> 01:43:20,430
And the whole country went into, just into trauma.

1573
01:43:21,110 --> 01:43:24,010
Trauma shutdown, because everyone was afraid.

1574
01:43:24,330 --> 01:43:28,730
I mean, you got a politician being assassinated in the Netherlands that was not heard of.

1575
01:43:28,950 --> 01:43:30,410
Now, there were some radicals.

1576
01:43:30,490 --> 01:43:34,370
There were some people who were standing up and saying, no, we've got to carry this message on.

1577
01:43:34,690 --> 01:43:39,930
Most notably, Theo van Gogh, who was a descendant of Vincent van Gogh.

1578
01:43:40,530 --> 01:43:45,190
And Ayaan Hirsi Ali, she was a politician.

1579
01:43:45,190 --> 01:43:48,910
She was from Somalia, and she entered the Dutch government.

1580
01:43:49,410 --> 01:43:55,910
And she was also very anti-Islam, mainly because of female mutilation, which she had been subjected to.

1581
01:43:56,150 --> 01:43:58,950
And they made a film, and they made this film together.

1582
01:43:59,150 --> 01:44:02,810
And then Theo van Gogh, who I knew, I've been on his show before.

1583
01:44:02,890 --> 01:44:08,450
He was kind of like a podcast dude, but you know, very, just a scruffy kind of guy.

1584
01:44:09,570 --> 01:44:14,890
Did, you know, very, very left-wing, actually, until he couldn't be that anymore.

1585
01:44:15,610 --> 01:44:26,930
And an Islamist nutjob shot him with an AK-47 in the streets of Amsterdam, stuck a knife in his chest with a list of names who were going to be next.

1586
01:44:27,390 --> 01:44:29,770
So this country went into complete shutdown.

1587
01:44:30,370 --> 01:44:35,370
And the policy of the Netherlands was, okay, these people are coming here.

1588
01:44:35,410 --> 01:44:36,450
We need to let them in.

1589
01:44:36,570 --> 01:44:36,990
Why?

1590
01:44:37,170 --> 01:44:38,270
No one has ever explained.

1591
01:44:38,430 --> 01:44:40,130
Of course, this happened throughout all of Europe.

1592
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,530
Look at Scandinavia, look at France, look at the UK, look everywhere.

1593
01:44:44,750 --> 01:44:46,210
It's happening every Germany.

1594
01:44:47,310 --> 01:44:51,490
The policy was, we'll just let them assimilate in their own time.

1595
01:44:51,810 --> 01:44:53,390
So they got their own schools.

1596
01:44:53,550 --> 01:44:54,790
They got their own neighborhoods.

1597
01:44:55,430 --> 01:44:57,330
They got their, you know, mosques everywhere.

1598
01:44:57,530 --> 01:45:00,050
Oh, you know, we have to let them have their religion.

1599
01:45:00,290 --> 01:45:02,270
The mosque with the speakers outside.

1600
01:45:02,910 --> 01:45:05,790
And people are sick and tired of it.

1601
01:45:06,410 --> 01:45:07,590
Now, that's the facts.

1602
01:45:08,410 --> 01:45:13,730
And it's, people, I mean, there are no-go zones in all over the country.

1603
01:45:13,910 --> 01:45:15,470
It is insane.

1604
01:45:16,950 --> 01:45:21,230
My analysis is that this happened.

1605
01:45:21,330 --> 01:45:28,150
Now, the police in the Netherlands are not necessarily really brave in many cases.

1606
01:45:28,570 --> 01:45:34,470
I hesitate saying that because, boy, they were really brave against COVID protesters.

1607
01:45:34,710 --> 01:45:38,450
They water cannoned them and beat them to a pulp and sick dogs on them.

1608
01:45:38,690 --> 01:45:42,310
But when it came to this, like, we're not really gonna do too much.

1609
01:45:42,430 --> 01:46:00,970
And the way this is being spun, I believe that the spook, the prime minister, that this is being used to stop this immigration and start changing the country and kicking these people out or taking harsh measures and getting the country behind them.

1610
01:46:01,150 --> 01:46:04,370
So instead of, oh, this is about some war in the Middle East.

1611
01:46:04,450 --> 01:46:06,170
No, no, this is like Kristallnacht.

1612
01:46:06,510 --> 01:46:08,850
You wanna talk about trauma in the Netherlands.

1613
01:46:09,470 --> 01:46:15,990
Yeah, there's trauma about Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, but the trauma of what happened to the Jews in the Netherlands is much bigger.

1614
01:46:16,690 --> 01:46:21,710
And I think they're trying to spin this so that they can change the policy and start taking action.

1615
01:46:22,170 --> 01:46:22,790
And they will.

1616
01:46:24,150 --> 01:46:26,570
Well, this doesn't even sound like Islamification.

1617
01:46:26,870 --> 01:46:33,750
It sounds like Moroccan gangs, who could be of any religion, that they're all taking over the place.

1618
01:46:34,350 --> 01:46:36,610
Believe me, it's Islamification.

1619
01:46:36,950 --> 01:46:41,590
The mosques, it's Islamification.

1620
01:46:41,910 --> 01:46:42,270
It is.

1621
01:46:42,430 --> 01:46:46,270
And the Moroccans, there are Hamas.

1622
01:46:46,530 --> 01:46:50,270
Hamas and other groups, they're all operating there.

1623
01:46:52,430 --> 01:46:54,170
It's really, really bad.

1624
01:46:54,310 --> 01:46:56,330
I mean, I can't get my daughter to leave yet.

1625
01:46:56,470 --> 01:46:59,630
I keep begging her, like, you gotta leave that place.

1626
01:47:00,790 --> 01:47:03,310
And I don't know if any other country in Europe is any better.

1627
01:47:03,650 --> 01:47:04,710
Just look at what happens.

1628
01:47:05,490 --> 01:47:06,410
It's crazy.

1629
01:47:06,850 --> 01:47:08,430
Remember what happened in Sweden?

1630
01:47:09,030 --> 01:47:10,830
Sweden, land of Abba.

1631
01:47:12,190 --> 01:47:15,230
You know, they're burning cars, there's no go zones.

1632
01:47:16,070 --> 01:47:23,910
Now, this is the first move of what I think will be a very turbulent period in all of Europe and in the Netherlands for sure.

1633
01:47:25,390 --> 01:47:27,030
And that's, you play the Jew card.

1634
01:47:27,270 --> 01:47:27,930
That's how you do it.

1635
01:47:31,330 --> 01:47:47,190
Well, this is not a new phenomenon with the battles between the white Christendom and the Moors, for example, which was a Muslim movement that took over most of Spain and influenced it greatly.

1636
01:47:47,270 --> 01:47:48,610
And then they had to be driven out.

1637
01:47:49,410 --> 01:47:50,650
So they come and go.

1638
01:47:51,630 --> 01:47:55,090
Yeah, but this is in the last, you know, 25 years.

1639
01:47:55,930 --> 01:48:00,110
This is just, the Netherlands, it was not an immigrant country.

1640
01:48:00,490 --> 01:48:02,250
Well, who made it the immigrant country?

1641
01:48:02,250 --> 01:48:03,590
That's the people to blame.

1642
01:48:03,770 --> 01:48:06,090
The socialists.

1643
01:48:08,030 --> 01:48:11,750
Socialist parties who have run that country into the ground.

1644
01:48:12,950 --> 01:48:16,670
Socialists and socialists, left-wing media operatives.

1645
01:48:17,050 --> 01:48:19,030
And the Dutch are nice people.

1646
01:48:19,810 --> 01:48:27,350
So, you know, they don't wanna say, you know, this, the Islam, you think that woke culture, you might as well just put a Dutch flag on it.

1647
01:48:28,650 --> 01:48:31,810
They're so nice and so kind, but that's changing now.

1648
01:48:32,490 --> 01:48:34,850
And it's gonna get, I think it's gonna get much worse.

1649
01:48:34,930 --> 01:48:37,350
This is just, this is just used as a tipping point.

1650
01:48:37,450 --> 01:48:39,630
I don't trust this spook for a second.

1651
01:48:39,810 --> 01:48:49,450
The whole media narrative and the fact that, yeah, the protest, the Israeli soccer fans, they definitely had a whole protest going on.

1652
01:48:49,850 --> 01:48:50,790
This is a setup.

1653
01:48:51,250 --> 01:48:52,070
This is a setup.

1654
01:48:55,740 --> 01:49:08,700
Yeah, well, there was some of the early reports that was pretty, it seemed as though the Jewish or Israeli hooligan, soccer hooligans, and I've been around these guys from different countries.

1655
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:13,180
I mean, the British guys are even worse, I think, are troublemakers.

1656
01:49:14,580 --> 01:49:15,640
Soccer's always trouble.

1657
01:49:15,780 --> 01:49:16,360
It's always trouble.

1658
01:49:16,440 --> 01:49:16,580
It's what they do.

1659
01:49:17,420 --> 01:49:19,500
And so they fomented this.

1660
01:49:19,580 --> 01:49:22,680
And then of course, then all of a sudden it's become a different issue, antisemitism.

1661
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:32,060
I mean, I don't follow, I mean, I follow World Cup soccer, but I didn't know that, so they were playing Ajax, which is the Amsterdam team.

1662
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:40,480
I didn't know that there was a huge contingent of the Israeli soccer team who follow them to a game in Amsterdam.

1663
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,840
That by itself, I've never really heard of that.

1664
01:49:45,540 --> 01:49:47,000
So why were they there?

1665
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:48,080
Fans.

1666
01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:49,940
Of the fans coming from Israel?

1667
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,440
I think a lot of them did, yeah, because they shipped them back to Israel.

1668
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:54,220
That's my point.

1669
01:49:54,320 --> 01:50:00,540
I can't remember when, oh yeah, the Israeli team is playing Ajax and they brought all their supporters.

1670
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:02,340
What gate was this?

1671
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:10,780
I was on a train in Europe with a bunch of these British guys that were traveling to Germany from the United Kingdom to go to a game.

1672
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,040
Yes, but not from Israel.

1673
01:50:13,260 --> 01:50:14,680
I've never heard of this.

1674
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:16,480
Probably been going on for a while.

1675
01:50:16,620 --> 01:50:19,240
I don't know, depends on how often Israel would play that team.

1676
01:50:19,300 --> 01:50:26,460
It's like currently in American football, we've got teams that are playing each other that never played each other before because they changed all these conferences.

1677
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:32,180
My insinuation here is that they were brought over for this to happen.

1678
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:36,100
I don't recall Israeli supporters ever coming in.

1679
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,500
I think you can make that assertion.

1680
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:41,820
Yeah, just for a game, just for one game.

1681
01:50:42,180 --> 01:50:46,080
Is there a cup going on that I'm unaware of?

1682
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:48,200
Or is it just a friendly?

1683
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:48,640
No.

1684
01:50:48,940 --> 01:50:49,780
The egg cup.

1685
01:50:51,740 --> 01:50:53,820
Before we take a break, some sad news.

1686
01:50:53,940 --> 01:51:00,560
I do want to recognize a voice that was very important for tens of millions of people around America.

1687
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:04,900
Elwood Edwards, the man who recorded AOL's iconic greetings has died.

1688
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:07,680
Welcome, you've got mail.

1689
01:51:08,340 --> 01:51:10,000
File's done, goodbye.

1690
01:51:11,300 --> 01:51:16,720
Edwards recorded those four iconic lines in 1989 for the company that would become America Online.

1691
01:51:16,940 --> 01:51:17,760
He was paid $200.

1692
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:21,560
His wife, who worked for the company, recommended him for the gig.

1693
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:31,200
Hundreds of millions of people would eventually hear the greetings as they became a key part of the AOL experience with the internet provider, propelling Edwards' voice to worldwide fame.

1694
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:39,880
WKYC, the Cleveland TV station where Edwards worked for many years, said he died on Tuesday at the age of 74 following a long illness.

1695
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:40,960
Aw.

1696
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:44,180
I was a good guy.

1697
01:51:47,690 --> 01:51:49,030
You met him?

1698
01:51:49,250 --> 01:51:52,530
No, but I feel like I knew him.

1699
01:51:52,830 --> 01:51:54,230
He was a good guy.

1700
01:51:54,510 --> 01:51:56,130
We loved him, yeah.

1701
01:51:56,130 --> 01:51:59,090
Hello, goodbye, you've got mail.

1702
01:51:59,290 --> 01:52:00,670
I mean, I grew up with him.

1703
01:52:01,090 --> 01:52:03,430
He was around in my 20s.

1704
01:52:04,690 --> 01:52:05,870
All right, well.

1705
01:52:05,870 --> 01:52:06,250
All right.

1706
01:52:06,590 --> 01:52:08,830
Well, you know, you don't care about dead people.

1707
01:52:09,570 --> 01:52:11,390
No, I'm glad you got it.

1708
01:52:11,410 --> 01:52:14,090
Here's the TikTok clip, very short one.

1709
01:52:14,230 --> 01:52:15,950
I actually cut it down.

1710
01:52:16,090 --> 01:52:16,470
Jeez.

1711
01:52:16,530 --> 01:52:18,510
This is what's going on with these lunatics.

1712
01:52:19,230 --> 01:52:21,270
This is the Glock girl.

1713
01:52:22,090 --> 01:52:23,890
Glock girl, okay.

1714
01:52:24,570 --> 01:52:37,550
I would go as far to say that I would purchase a Glock and if you and I are walking on the same street and it's dark out and you're a white male, you have to be white for this to count, okay?

1715
01:52:38,050 --> 01:52:42,290
If you're a white male, even if you don't approach me, I will shoot you.

1716
01:52:42,690 --> 01:52:43,490
Yeah, I know.

1717
01:52:44,190 --> 01:52:48,350
So, has to be on the street, you and I.

1718
01:52:49,030 --> 01:52:54,350
Has to be at nighttime, during the day, not so much, but at nighttime.

1719
01:52:57,070 --> 01:52:59,650
Boy, I'm glad you got that, John.

1720
01:53:00,310 --> 01:53:04,490
So, there's a bunch of women that are threatening to poison all men.

1721
01:53:04,810 --> 01:53:05,430
Oh, yeah.

1722
01:53:05,430 --> 01:53:06,970
And you want to get the blue tattoo.

1723
01:53:07,570 --> 01:53:08,510
And the blue bracelet.

1724
01:53:09,090 --> 01:53:11,310
Yeah, I got clips for that.

1725
01:53:11,530 --> 01:53:12,650
I got clips for that.

1726
01:53:13,570 --> 01:53:17,650
Well, then, the onus is on you.

1727
01:53:17,790 --> 01:53:18,450
No, I'm going to wait.

1728
01:53:19,570 --> 01:53:29,070
This is a tease because first, I'm going to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the election anal, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John, say in the morning.

1729
01:53:32,370 --> 01:53:33,550
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam.

1730
01:53:33,550 --> 01:53:36,050
Good morning to you, our ships, the boats that are graffitied in the air, subs to the Lord.

1731
01:53:36,110 --> 01:53:36,770
It's out there.

1732
01:53:36,950 --> 01:53:39,610
And hello to all the trolls in the troll room.

1733
01:53:39,750 --> 01:53:40,990
Show me how to pull out the C.

1734
01:53:44,110 --> 01:53:47,610
At the peak, at the peak, we had 2530.

1735
01:53:49,090 --> 01:53:50,270
2,530 at the peak.

1736
01:53:51,270 --> 01:53:51,910
It stinks.

1737
01:53:54,810 --> 01:53:56,130
What do you mean it stinks?

1738
01:53:56,230 --> 01:53:57,210
It's above average.

1739
01:53:57,690 --> 01:53:58,890
It's above the average.

1740
01:53:59,250 --> 01:54:00,630
The average is 2,400.

1741
01:54:01,010 --> 01:54:02,490
Right, so it's above the average.

1742
01:54:02,990 --> 01:54:05,790
It's like, this is good stuff that we're doing here.

1743
01:54:06,250 --> 01:54:06,970
Oh, okay, all right.

1744
01:54:07,010 --> 01:54:09,270
You held yourself in higher regard than the trolls.

1745
01:54:09,510 --> 01:54:10,170
That's what's going on.

1746
01:54:10,170 --> 01:54:11,050
Yes, I do.

1747
01:54:11,090 --> 01:54:11,990
Yeah, well, there you go.

1748
01:54:12,910 --> 01:54:18,290
You can join the trolls at trollroom.io. That's where you can listen live 24 hours a day.

1749
01:54:18,730 --> 01:54:23,250
The No Agenda stream is rolling with many, many good podcasts, all talk, no commercials.

1750
01:54:23,650 --> 01:54:24,910
All value for value.

1751
01:54:25,110 --> 01:54:26,150
All having a good time.

1752
01:54:26,650 --> 01:54:28,090
Many of them doing it live.

1753
01:54:29,030 --> 01:54:33,070
If not, it's a prerecorded, but you just log into the troll room.

1754
01:54:33,370 --> 01:54:39,170
There's always someone there ready to talk with you, ready to have a little chat, or just to troll you, possibly.

1755
01:54:40,050 --> 01:54:45,430
You can listen to these live there, or of course you can get a modern podcast app, which I highly recommend.

1756
01:54:46,070 --> 01:54:48,150
Get one at podcastapps.com.

1757
01:54:48,350 --> 01:54:56,970
You will be alerted when these shows go live, like the No Agenda show, or before us, the rock and roll pre-show, Darren O'Neill, and you go, oh, oh, oh, it's going live.

1758
01:54:57,050 --> 01:54:58,690
You click, boom, you're listening to it live.

1759
01:54:58,710 --> 01:55:08,310
If you can't, the minute we release a show on these modern podcast apps through the Podping technology of Podcasting 2.0, you'll be alerted within 90 seconds.

1760
01:55:08,430 --> 01:55:10,890
So there's no waiting around like in these legacy apps.

1761
01:55:11,030 --> 01:55:12,350
Wherever you get your podcasts, sure.

1762
01:55:12,570 --> 01:55:18,090
But if you want to get it fast, if you want to be in the know, if you want all the new features, you use a modern podcast app.

1763
01:55:19,830 --> 01:55:29,430
17 years and counting for the value for value proposition we have put forth to everyone, we decided early on, we don't have listeners, we have producers.

1764
01:55:29,890 --> 01:55:32,690
Everybody has a responsibility to produce this show.

1765
01:55:32,750 --> 01:55:36,050
You can do it with your time, with your talent, or with your treasure.

1766
01:55:36,410 --> 01:55:47,550
We value all three, and we certainly appreciate people who send us clips, things that we hadn't heard of yet, new stories, boots on the ground, very valuable, and treasure, of course.

1767
01:55:47,690 --> 01:55:59,810
But one of the things that we have been thanking our producers for for a long time is the artwork, which has become, you know, people argue with me, well, isn't AI just a tool?

1768
01:56:00,090 --> 01:56:01,430
Yeah, AI is just a tool.

1769
01:56:01,530 --> 01:56:02,930
That's right, you can use it as a tool.

1770
01:56:03,890 --> 01:56:15,590
But I think that what happens is we just get flooded with AI art, and the true masters, usually the Dutch masters, they feel like, oh, well, you know, why should I even try?

1771
01:56:16,050 --> 01:56:20,290
You know, these prompt jockeys, they're just doing blah, blah, blah, you know?

1772
01:56:20,590 --> 01:56:21,850
And I think that's a shame.

1773
01:56:23,970 --> 01:56:24,890
I think it's too bad.

1774
01:56:26,050 --> 01:56:28,930
Luckily, we do have Dutch masters who check in from time to time.

1775
01:56:29,230 --> 01:56:34,970
I wonder about the artwork for episode 1710, which was done by Nico Seim.

1776
01:56:35,850 --> 01:56:37,230
Do you think this was AI?

1777
01:56:37,470 --> 01:56:39,090
Because this was a great piece.

1778
01:56:40,430 --> 01:56:41,010
Yeah, totally.

1779
01:56:41,310 --> 01:56:41,570
Really?

1780
01:56:42,250 --> 01:56:43,930
I think parts of it were AI.

1781
01:56:44,490 --> 01:56:47,110
He could tell us one way or the other, but it had to be.

1782
01:56:47,110 --> 01:56:48,030
It was too much.

1783
01:56:48,890 --> 01:56:54,730
Okay, there's one thing we always have to consider, is this AI does one thing well, speed.

1784
01:56:55,710 --> 01:56:55,810
Yes.

1785
01:56:56,190 --> 01:57:07,130
It creates art fast, and if you get the right system where it creates, you know, you're prompted to do something, and it gives you four examples, which encourages, you know, that's speed.

1786
01:57:07,710 --> 01:57:11,730
And then you can make a couple of adjustments, gives you four more examples, and you pick one.

1787
01:57:13,910 --> 01:57:17,370
I don't know if the no agenda curry divorce thing, have you put that on by hand or not?

1788
01:57:17,370 --> 01:57:18,070
Yeah, that must be.

1789
01:57:18,390 --> 01:57:21,430
Which you probably did, but the rest of it looks totally AI.

1790
01:57:21,590 --> 01:57:32,910
Well, I love the crazy out of control monkeys, which of course refers back to the 40 monkeys that escaped from the bio lab in South Carolina, which that story died, nothing happened there.

1791
01:57:32,970 --> 01:57:34,890
Did they ever find the crazy monkeys?

1792
01:57:35,470 --> 01:57:36,770
They're still on the loose.

1793
01:57:36,870 --> 01:57:38,630
I think 35 of them are still on the loose.

1794
01:57:39,130 --> 01:57:39,530
Groovy.

1795
01:57:39,810 --> 01:57:41,230
They're biting whatever they can find.

1796
01:57:41,330 --> 01:57:46,050
So thank you very much, Nico, for bringing us the artwork for episode 1710.

1797
01:57:46,330 --> 01:57:51,050
Looking back at that episode, I kind of like Darren O'Neill's no agenda nitro.

1798
01:57:51,170 --> 01:57:55,110
We did talk about it, but the monkeys beat that hands down.

1799
01:57:55,770 --> 01:57:59,610
You like the Trump ultra MAGA tissues.

1800
01:57:59,810 --> 01:58:01,190
I thought it was just too small.

1801
01:58:03,310 --> 01:58:04,250
Oh, the tissue.

1802
01:58:04,330 --> 01:58:05,830
Yeah, I ended up using it for the newsletter.

1803
01:58:06,090 --> 01:58:08,590
Yeah, I just thought it was a little on the small side.

1804
01:58:08,970 --> 01:58:13,190
I also kind of like Nessworks to-do list, but that was maybe too simple.

1805
01:58:14,130 --> 01:58:16,670
We had virtue signal, vote, protest, leave country.

1806
01:58:18,290 --> 01:58:18,730
Stupid.

1807
01:58:19,930 --> 01:58:21,490
Have the celebrities left yet?

1808
01:58:21,610 --> 01:58:22,930
Have they left yet, those celebrities?

1809
01:58:23,750 --> 01:58:25,970
Oh, you know, these guys are just doddlers.

1810
01:58:26,630 --> 01:58:28,290
Come on, people, leave.

1811
01:58:29,030 --> 01:58:30,230
Where's Bruce Springsteen?

1812
01:58:30,290 --> 01:58:31,270
He's supposed to have gone.

1813
01:58:31,610 --> 01:58:32,610
Yeah, that's right.

1814
01:58:33,030 --> 01:58:33,350
That's right.

1815
01:58:33,510 --> 01:58:34,030
Big talker.

1816
01:58:34,310 --> 01:58:36,590
Oh, big Bruce, big tough guy.

1817
01:58:36,770 --> 01:58:38,030
Now, did Bruce actually say that?

1818
01:58:38,130 --> 01:58:39,350
Did he actually say I'm leaving?

1819
01:58:39,430 --> 01:58:44,670
Yes, he claims he's going to leave the country along with, I think, Rob Reiner and all the same old suspects.

1820
01:58:44,810 --> 01:58:52,570
What's funny is that the one who initiated this years and years ago during the Bush administration, Barbara Streisand.

1821
01:58:52,770 --> 01:58:54,330
Oh, she's still in Malibu.

1822
01:58:54,710 --> 01:58:57,630
She stopped saying she was going to leave the country.

1823
01:58:57,730 --> 01:58:58,650
I don't know what happened to her.

1824
01:58:58,730 --> 01:58:59,810
She lost her edge.

1825
01:59:00,750 --> 01:59:01,910
Ah, that's so, that's so disappointing.

1826
01:59:01,910 --> 01:59:03,750
She also has a place up in Squim, Washington.

1827
01:59:04,010 --> 01:59:05,670
Mimi ran into her a couple times.

1828
01:59:05,890 --> 01:59:08,590
Yeah, and that Brolin guy's a real douche, apparently.

1829
01:59:09,370 --> 01:59:09,870
Her husband.

1830
01:59:11,110 --> 01:59:12,930
He's a who, do you know who I am?

1831
01:59:13,070 --> 01:59:13,650
Yeah, exactly.

1832
01:59:13,870 --> 01:59:15,570
Like, surely you've heard of me.

1833
01:59:15,690 --> 01:59:17,110
Let me have my cheese first.

1834
01:59:17,410 --> 01:59:18,530
Something, one of those guys.

1835
01:59:18,850 --> 01:59:28,210
And Mimi says that he, because she's seen him at the, they eat, or they shop at Sunny Farms, which is an organic place.

1836
01:59:29,250 --> 01:59:33,370
And she says his haircut looks like it must cost a thousand bucks.

1837
01:59:35,230 --> 01:59:38,070
How can a haircut look like a thousand bucks?

1838
01:59:38,270 --> 01:59:39,970
I don't know, but that's what she says.

1839
01:59:39,970 --> 01:59:40,790
I haven't seen him.

1840
01:59:40,910 --> 01:59:41,610
So here it is.

1841
01:59:42,050 --> 01:59:44,350
This is a Snopes fact check.

1842
01:59:46,190 --> 01:59:47,890
Oh, outdated, what is this?

1843
01:59:48,630 --> 01:59:53,430
It says, Bruce Springsteen announces he will leave the United States if Donald Trump is elected president in 2024.

1844
01:59:55,030 --> 02:00:01,130
Hmm, let me see, here's Newsweek with the list of celebrities promising to leave.

1845
02:00:01,310 --> 02:00:02,010
This is helpful.

1846
02:00:02,930 --> 02:00:03,330
Ready?

1847
02:00:04,070 --> 02:00:04,390
Yeah.

1848
02:00:04,670 --> 02:00:20,430
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Kim Kardashian, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Brian Cranston, Hillary Clinton, all said that they pledged to leave if Trump was re-elected.

1849
02:00:20,630 --> 02:00:28,770
Also, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand, she's on the list.

1850
02:00:29,230 --> 02:00:29,810
Oh, okay.

1851
02:00:29,950 --> 02:00:32,650
Cher, Nancy Pelosi, apparently.

1852
02:00:33,550 --> 02:00:36,270
Megan Rapinoe, oh, that wouldn't be a loss.

1853
02:00:37,190 --> 02:00:38,150
Amy Schumer.

1854
02:00:39,450 --> 02:00:42,190
None of these would be a loss, are you nuts?

1855
02:00:43,390 --> 02:00:45,190
And the list just goes on and on.

1856
02:00:45,570 --> 02:00:47,350
That's all right, I'd hate to lose them.

1857
02:00:47,630 --> 02:00:50,550
They provide much content and entertainment for the show.

1858
02:00:51,330 --> 02:00:52,910
Actually, they don't.

1859
02:00:53,010 --> 02:00:53,850
Yeah, they do.

1860
02:00:54,470 --> 02:01:00,530
Name one person on that list that for Nancy Pelosi provides much entertainment for our show.

1861
02:01:01,150 --> 02:01:05,250
Well, the list goes on, AOC is on the list, although I doubt that was ever serious.

1862
02:01:05,250 --> 02:01:07,490
She provides entertainment for the show.

1863
02:01:09,290 --> 02:01:16,390
How could a sitting congressperson, including Nancy Pelosi, say they're gonna leave the country if a guy's elected?

1864
02:01:16,590 --> 02:01:17,830
What is wrong with them?

1865
02:01:18,810 --> 02:01:19,650
I don't know.

1866
02:01:21,270 --> 02:01:23,310
Anyway, thank you very much, Nico Syme.

1867
02:01:23,410 --> 02:01:31,310
Anyone can participate, anybody these days with AI, but the competition is getting stiffer, thank God.

1868
02:01:31,450 --> 02:01:32,170
I love Nico.

1869
02:01:32,310 --> 02:01:35,410
Yeah, you're right, he probably used AI, but he still made it round.

1870
02:01:35,610 --> 02:01:37,210
There's some artist sense in there.

1871
02:01:38,470 --> 02:01:44,530
There's some element of understanding how art can touch the soul and the heart.

1872
02:01:45,010 --> 02:01:46,270
And the monkeys totally did.

1873
02:01:46,550 --> 02:01:48,410
They tugged at our heartstrings.

1874
02:01:49,910 --> 02:01:51,830
NoahArtGenerator.com is where you can upload that.

1875
02:01:51,950 --> 02:01:53,310
Anyone can open an account and participate.

1876
02:01:53,510 --> 02:01:59,430
And thank you very much to all of our artists who are always diligently competing for that coveted spot.

1877
02:01:59,430 --> 02:02:01,590
Well, you brought me to the bonus clip.

1878
02:02:03,310 --> 02:02:06,030
We promised to do bonus clips during these segments.

1879
02:02:06,250 --> 02:02:07,670
Yes, you have a bonus clip.

1880
02:02:08,250 --> 02:02:11,550
I do, I wasn't thinking about it until you kept bringing up the monkeys.

1881
02:02:11,690 --> 02:02:13,670
So this is the infinite monkey report.

1882
02:02:14,950 --> 02:02:20,770
This is what goes on on NPR, the nation's treasure, as a legitimate news report.

1883
02:02:21,150 --> 02:02:23,870
One more certitude in this world has been overturned.

1884
02:02:24,150 --> 02:02:34,750
The infinite monkey theorem holds that a monkey, given an infinite amount of time at a keyboard, would ultimately type out every possible word and every possible text, including the complete works of Shakespeare.

1885
02:02:35,430 --> 02:02:52,630
But two Australian researchers, Jay Folletta and Stephen Woodcock, calculate that if every one of the roughly 200,000 chimpanzees in the world typed one key per second, it would take longer than the lifespan of the universe for a primate bard to repeat the words of Shakespeare.

1886
02:02:53,490 --> 02:03:00,630
In fact, the BBC reports there would be just a 5% chance a chimp would even type the word bananas in their own simian lifetime.

1887
02:03:00,630 --> 02:03:06,450
In other words, in a finite universe, do not count on an infinite monkey.

1888
02:03:07,850 --> 02:03:08,410
Wow.

1889
02:03:09,730 --> 02:03:10,250
No wonder.

1890
02:03:10,470 --> 02:03:16,570
This is, this was initially a college joke that everyone heard it.

1891
02:03:17,390 --> 02:03:26,590
And it was actually, the way I heard it was if you had an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite amount of time, they'd be able to type Shakespeare's plays.

1892
02:03:28,370 --> 02:03:36,290
And it was never, what do you, so somebody actually takes it seriously and does a calculation and then NPR plays it as news?

1893
02:03:36,490 --> 02:03:40,590
People wonder why their audiences are turning to podcasts?

1894
02:03:40,970 --> 02:03:42,850
It seems pretty obvious to me.

1895
02:03:44,510 --> 02:03:44,950
Filler.

1896
02:03:45,670 --> 02:03:46,610
Bull crap filler.

1897
02:03:47,330 --> 02:03:50,150
Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers.

1898
02:03:50,310 --> 02:03:53,390
We appreciate everybody who sends back value to the show.

1899
02:03:53,490 --> 02:03:54,730
The way it works is very simple.

1900
02:03:55,170 --> 02:04:22,930
We give you everything, all of us, all of me, all of John, all the time, our entire works to you, including show notes not to be discounted, including every single clip we play, every story we've discussed, it's all in the show notes, noagendashow.net, which has enabled fantastic development such as bingit.io. You can search, you can search the transcripts, you can get clips, you can share stuff.

1901
02:04:23,150 --> 02:04:27,010
All of it is there for you at no upfront charge.

1902
02:04:27,010 --> 02:04:35,050
All we ask is if you get value from the show, send it back to us so that we can continue doing this work for you, and the value can come in many different ways.

1903
02:04:35,450 --> 02:04:37,170
We love when people support us financially.

1904
02:04:37,390 --> 02:04:48,850
We thank everybody $50 and above, and we implore all at some level to be able to set up a sustaining donation, noagendadonations.com, any amount, any frequency, whatever it's worth to you.

1905
02:04:48,910 --> 02:04:50,650
We can't look in your pocketbook or wallet.

1906
02:04:51,070 --> 02:04:51,810
Support the show.

1907
02:04:51,950 --> 02:04:53,890
Keep us going for at least another four more years.

1908
02:04:53,890 --> 02:04:58,290
And we start off by thanking our execs and associate execs.

1909
02:04:58,350 --> 02:05:10,450
The way it works is $200 and above, you get an actual credit, a show business credit, associate executive producer, which you can use anywhere where credits are accepted like imdb.com or LinkedIn, don't forget your pronouns.

1910
02:05:11,070 --> 02:05:14,290
And $300 or above, you become an executive producer for that episode.

1911
02:05:14,670 --> 02:05:19,070
Same holds true with your credit, and we gladly will read your note.

1912
02:05:19,410 --> 02:05:33,850
And we kick it off with someone who came in well above that executive producer level, Mike McClellan, Michael McClellan, with $1,000, and he added the fees, 3026, which is highly appreciated.

1913
02:05:33,930 --> 02:05:37,690
And he says, good morrow and ITM fine sirs.

1914
02:05:38,350 --> 02:05:45,750
I have just clicked submit on my PayPal donation, having been reeled in by JCD's clever newsletter wording for the doctorate program.

1915
02:05:45,930 --> 02:05:56,530
Because of the option to cover PayPal fees, which I benevolently checked, my donation ended up being 1036.26, even though my payment method was switched to my checking account.

1916
02:05:57,010 --> 02:06:05,830
As such, please switcheroo the extra to a monthly supporter of your choosing, who is closest to knighthood in attempts to get them across the line one month sooner.

1917
02:06:06,470 --> 02:06:09,210
Wow, was the back office able to do that?

1918
02:06:11,430 --> 02:06:16,730
Yes, yes, Jay actually is organized enough to do it.

1919
02:06:16,970 --> 02:06:20,810
I discourage it, but she can do it.

1920
02:06:20,810 --> 02:06:23,190
Well, she's done it a couple of times now.

1921
02:06:23,870 --> 02:06:29,770
I also humbly request a de-douching as I'm a long time listener, first time caller, er, donator.

1922
02:06:31,570 --> 02:06:33,290
You've been de-douched.

1923
02:06:33,770 --> 02:06:36,570
Oh, I'm glad you came out of the woodworks, brother.

1924
02:06:36,670 --> 02:06:37,870
That's very nice to have you here.

1925
02:06:38,390 --> 02:06:52,570
I'd like to be known as Sir Michael, Knight of the Northern Mitten, for the avoidance of doubt, Michael, M-I-K-E-L, is pronounced the same as the phonetically retarded, Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L, that's nice.

1926
02:06:53,390 --> 02:07:02,390
Any Sharpton jingle, marriage, children, and grandchildren, karma, and as much pump and circumstance as you can muster, heavier on the pump.

1927
02:07:02,830 --> 02:07:04,650
God bless, Michael, he says.

1928
02:07:08,710 --> 02:07:17,150
R-E-S-P-I-C-T, you've got karma.

1929
02:07:17,150 --> 02:07:20,850
Yes, God bless you too, Michael, thank you so much.

1930
02:07:20,990 --> 02:07:24,950
Well, another $1,030.26 guy.

1931
02:07:25,390 --> 02:07:27,990
This is Stuart Walton, Parts Unknown.

1932
02:07:28,930 --> 02:07:33,390
Dear John and Adam, please find my donation for the doctorate in education.

1933
02:07:33,530 --> 02:07:34,630
Please send an email.

1934
02:07:35,190 --> 02:07:41,790
I have sent an email to notes at noagendashow.net, which is what you're supposed to do, with more details on what this is all for.

1935
02:07:41,870 --> 02:07:42,950
Many thanks, Sir Stuart.

1936
02:07:43,370 --> 02:07:52,390
The angry accountant in Stafford, England, and Jay puts a note on here that she did not receive this notes at noagendashow.net.

1937
02:07:53,810 --> 02:07:59,290
So Stuart, send it again, we'll read it, or if it's necessary, on the next show as a make good.

1938
02:07:59,530 --> 02:08:05,050
And I think you might want to explain the doctorate, just so everyone understands what's going on here.

1939
02:08:05,590 --> 02:08:16,830
Yes, we're giving away, this year's promotion is a doctorate in climate science studies, but it's a doctor of education.

1940
02:08:17,650 --> 02:08:31,130
So you can be a PhD from last year, and then you can be a doctor of education for this go round, and you get a beautiful hand-designed diploma from the No Agenda Show.

1941
02:08:31,310 --> 02:08:33,430
And it's for climate science studies?

1942
02:08:34,110 --> 02:08:36,250
I think it's climate science studies, yeah.

1943
02:08:36,390 --> 02:08:39,570
Yes, and this can be observed as an actual doctorate?

1944
02:08:40,630 --> 02:08:41,850
You can do what you want.

1945
02:08:41,850 --> 02:08:43,710
That's exactly what I thought.

1946
02:08:44,230 --> 02:08:49,310
You can do what you want, if you want to put this on your resume, I would do it.

1947
02:08:49,850 --> 02:08:52,710
Absolutely, oh look who's up next, oh my goodness.

1948
02:08:52,750 --> 02:08:55,030
Shh, this is not ants on the mic.

1949
02:08:56,290 --> 02:08:57,170
Yeah, Nussbaum.

1950
02:08:58,170 --> 02:08:58,610
Nussbaum!

1951
02:08:59,150 --> 02:09:00,030
It's a Nussbaum.

1952
02:09:08,770 --> 02:09:09,570
Work, work.

1953
02:09:09,570 --> 02:09:20,290
One of our Archdukes, Archduke Nussbaum comes in with $1,000 plus the fees for the 3026, and he says, another diploma, I'd be smart!

1954
02:09:21,390 --> 02:09:24,330
And that's his note, thank you, thank you, Sir Nussbaum.

1955
02:09:24,490 --> 02:09:24,870
I'd be smart.

1956
02:09:25,310 --> 02:09:27,970
Good to hear from you, brother, hope all is well.

1957
02:09:28,510 --> 02:09:29,110
He's been around for a long time.

1958
02:09:29,130 --> 02:09:31,430
He's always in on these promotions, I like that.

1959
02:09:31,550 --> 02:09:32,210
Sarah Gardner.

1960
02:09:32,250 --> 02:09:32,630
He's good.

1961
02:09:32,990 --> 02:09:39,890
In Wilmington, North Carolina, 500, she has a switcheroo here, and this is a Commodore, I guess the last of them.

1962
02:09:40,590 --> 02:09:44,770
Donation from my husband, Tom, November 10th show day is his birthday.

1963
02:09:45,270 --> 02:09:46,190
Aw, how nice.

1964
02:09:46,370 --> 02:09:46,790
That's today.

1965
02:09:48,270 --> 02:09:48,730
Yes, it is.

1966
02:09:48,730 --> 02:09:51,270
Tomorrow's 11-11, and it's also Veterans Day.

1967
02:09:51,950 --> 02:09:54,210
Please play the birthday biscuit jingle.

1968
02:09:55,290 --> 02:09:55,910
Ah, yes.

1969
02:09:55,970 --> 02:09:58,270
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.

1970
02:09:58,730 --> 02:10:03,290
As he's diabetic, and a virtual biscuit is probably better than the real thing.

1971
02:10:04,090 --> 02:10:11,290
Do we give him the executive producer credit as well, or just the Commodore donation?

1972
02:10:11,590 --> 02:10:12,230
It's a little unclear.

1973
02:10:12,430 --> 02:10:13,830
It's a switcheroo Commodore donation.

1974
02:10:14,650 --> 02:10:17,250
Let's just put the both names on there, it's easier now.

1975
02:10:17,350 --> 02:10:19,750
Okay, let me just add that to make sure we do that.

1976
02:10:21,290 --> 02:10:21,710
What?

1977
02:10:23,050 --> 02:10:24,390
He comes in again?

1978
02:10:26,030 --> 02:10:27,290
What is this now?

1979
02:10:28,150 --> 02:10:30,170
Thomas Nussbaum again on the list?

1980
02:10:32,030 --> 02:10:32,510
Nussbaum.

1981
02:10:36,230 --> 02:10:37,190
Thomas Nussbaum.

1982
02:10:37,470 --> 02:10:39,830
Archduke comes in again now with five.

1983
02:10:39,830 --> 02:10:41,390
No, he's a Grand Duke, isn't he?

1984
02:10:42,610 --> 02:10:43,090
Archduke?

1985
02:10:43,590 --> 02:10:45,450
If it was a Grand Duke, he wouldn't have the jingle.

1986
02:10:46,590 --> 02:10:50,110
Yes, well, the jingle says Archduke, so I'll say Grand Duke.

1987
02:10:50,190 --> 02:10:51,230
Yes, you're probably right.

1988
02:10:51,370 --> 02:10:52,610
I am sure I'm remiss.

1989
02:10:53,690 --> 02:10:57,430
Grand Duke Thomas Nussbaum with an additional 500.

1990
02:10:57,930 --> 02:10:59,530
I'd like to apply to the committee.

1991
02:10:59,530 --> 02:11:00,370
Is it too late?

1992
02:11:00,870 --> 02:11:04,370
For my line of work, I go off grid for sometimes.

1993
02:11:05,190 --> 02:11:05,550
ITM.

1994
02:11:05,570 --> 02:11:06,590
He wants to be, oh, he wants the Commodore.

1995
02:11:06,590 --> 02:11:11,270
In other words, he missed out on the Commodore donation, and he wants, okay, we'll put him, he's on the list.

1996
02:11:11,410 --> 02:11:11,750
He's good.

1997
02:11:11,950 --> 02:11:12,670
Okay, good.

1998
02:11:13,050 --> 02:11:14,230
Let me just double check.

1999
02:11:14,310 --> 02:11:16,430
He's on the, yes, he's on the list.

2000
02:11:16,530 --> 02:11:17,430
Wow, okay.

2001
02:11:17,930 --> 02:11:18,810
He's really going on.

2002
02:11:18,890 --> 02:11:20,550
Welcome back, welcome back to the grid.

2003
02:11:20,790 --> 02:11:23,750
So he lost Nussbaum for how many shows?

2004
02:11:23,810 --> 02:11:25,150
We don't know, at least a month?

2005
02:11:25,350 --> 02:11:26,110
No, years.

2006
02:11:26,330 --> 02:11:27,970
He hasn't donated in years, I don't think.

2007
02:11:27,970 --> 02:11:29,070
That's true, he's off.

2008
02:11:29,630 --> 02:11:36,670
Interesting, yeah, he's been, yeah, I can't think of the Latin for it, but he's not been around.

2009
02:11:36,770 --> 02:11:39,610
But I do see him posting on social media sometimes.

2010
02:11:39,750 --> 02:11:42,430
It's always some exquisite drink.

2011
02:11:43,910 --> 02:11:45,350
Some, he's always a glass.

2012
02:11:45,350 --> 02:11:46,210
He's a bon vivant.

2013
02:11:46,530 --> 02:11:48,670
Yes, he's a bon vivant, he is indeed.

2014
02:11:49,410 --> 02:11:57,430
Sir Tyler in Anchorage, Alaska comes in with 343.75. He says, keep up the great work.

2015
02:11:57,430 --> 02:12:07,550
Tyler Systems LLC, the up-and-coming AI technology company in Alaska that everyone has been talking about is again supporting the show.

2016
02:12:08,110 --> 02:12:10,970
Esteemed tech journalist emeritus John C.

2017
02:12:11,110 --> 02:12:13,930
Dvorak said they do great work after all.

2018
02:12:16,430 --> 02:12:22,150
Already another producer has reached out to discuss a project over a productive 15-minute call.

2019
02:12:23,170 --> 02:12:31,630
That's how it's done in Gitmo Nation, we agreed any business we do together has to result in a kickback to the show, agreed.

2020
02:12:32,470 --> 02:12:34,770
Consider this a down payment on the opportunity.

2021
02:12:34,990 --> 02:12:39,030
Ken, I still owe you an email and I look forward to working together.

2022
02:12:39,350 --> 02:12:42,090
Let's hoping, here's hoping to more success.

2023
02:12:42,270 --> 02:12:48,750
We're continuing to explore building AI tools that help automate existing workflow.

2024
02:12:49,250 --> 02:12:51,750
All of a sudden AI is great, I love AI.

2025
02:12:51,750 --> 02:12:56,490
At www.tylersystems.com, that's T-Y-L-E-R.

2026
02:12:57,130 --> 02:13:02,050
Our tagline remains outsourcing problems and insourcing solutions.

2027
02:13:02,650 --> 02:13:15,250
Until we can afford the outrageous retainer, the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group, CDCG, biz development department quoted us, which I guess is quite high.

2028
02:13:15,670 --> 02:13:18,310
Yours truly, Sir Tyler in Alaska.

2029
02:13:18,590 --> 02:13:20,010
Nice, Sir Tyler, thank you.

2030
02:13:20,010 --> 02:13:28,710
Sean Brown is in Harriman, Utah, 343.75. Switcheroo, please credit my wife Natalie as the executive producer, okay.

2031
02:13:28,970 --> 02:13:32,050
That is done, Natalie is the executive producer.

2032
02:13:32,510 --> 02:13:36,490
We both greatly appreciate the amygdala shrinking coverage of the M5M.

2033
02:13:36,590 --> 02:13:41,770
Please play Donald Loves Nazis, one of my favorite jingles but rarely played these days.

2034
02:13:42,150 --> 02:13:43,670
I, you know what, I'm sorry.

2035
02:13:44,390 --> 02:13:50,950
I should have been on this Donald Plays Nazis clip throughout the past year, hadn't even considered it.

2036
02:13:51,690 --> 02:13:52,970
Donald loves Nazis.

2037
02:13:54,210 --> 02:13:56,110
Donald loves Nazis.

2038
02:13:57,230 --> 02:14:01,750
CNN say that he's KKK and he shouts and sing hail with it.

2039
02:14:02,110 --> 02:14:02,210
Wow.

2040
02:14:02,550 --> 02:14:02,790
Hey!

2041
02:14:03,530 --> 02:14:05,010
Nice, nice.

2042
02:14:05,390 --> 02:14:06,670
It's a great clip.

2043
02:14:06,790 --> 02:14:07,190
It is.

2044
02:14:07,830 --> 02:14:15,410
Russell Healy in Lake Zurich, Illinois, 333.33. And he just says simply, keep going, please.

2045
02:14:16,030 --> 02:14:16,570
We will.

2046
02:14:17,350 --> 02:14:22,950
And there's Sir Cal coming in from Lavender.

2047
02:14:25,630 --> 02:14:26,430
Lavender Blossoms.

2048
02:14:26,990 --> 02:14:27,790
LavenderBlossoms.org.

2049
02:14:27,890 --> 02:14:28,590
There you go, thank you.

2050
02:14:28,630 --> 02:14:30,390
He's in Northville, Michigan, 249.

2051
02:14:30,510 --> 02:14:32,170
He's an associate executive producer.

2052
02:14:32,690 --> 02:14:35,310
And he says, happy birthday to all the Marines out there.

2053
02:14:35,370 --> 02:14:37,130
That's right, the Marines celebrating.

2054
02:14:37,350 --> 02:14:39,050
What birthday is it for the Marines?

2055
02:14:39,110 --> 02:14:40,250
How many years have they been around?

2056
02:14:40,350 --> 02:14:40,990
It's a long time.

2057
02:14:41,150 --> 02:14:42,130
A long time.

2058
02:14:42,230 --> 02:14:43,750
Those guys have been around forever.

2059
02:14:43,990 --> 02:14:44,290
Yes.

2060
02:14:44,890 --> 02:14:47,290
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.

2061
02:14:47,610 --> 02:14:48,550
There's a biscuit for the Marines.

2062
02:14:48,850 --> 02:14:51,290
Sir Cal, aka Sergeant Nistore.

2063
02:14:51,470 --> 02:14:53,030
I didn't know Cal was an ex-Marine.

2064
02:14:53,490 --> 02:14:53,910
We do now.

2065
02:14:54,050 --> 02:14:54,550
It looks like it.

2066
02:14:54,650 --> 02:14:55,210
Thank you, Sir Cal.

2067
02:14:57,320 --> 02:14:59,380
I wonder what he thinks of John Kelly.

2068
02:15:00,440 --> 02:15:01,920
They all hate him.

2069
02:15:03,440 --> 02:15:13,320
Sir Drywall in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada, 229.70. Sir Drywall here of Walnut Ridge.

2070
02:15:13,320 --> 02:15:18,320
Okay, can you believe 333.33, Canadian is only 229 USD?

2071
02:15:18,600 --> 02:15:19,780
Oh, we need to bump him up.

2072
02:15:20,480 --> 02:15:22,420
No, he's, yeah, yeah, he needs to be bumped up.

2073
02:15:22,580 --> 02:15:22,760
You're right.

2074
02:15:22,900 --> 02:15:24,040
I'm thinking the other way around.

2075
02:15:24,160 --> 02:15:24,860
You're bumped up, brother.

2076
02:15:25,040 --> 02:15:38,580
Nouse Drywall, by the way, of Petrolia, Ontario, is happy to support NOAA Generation, but would like to ask the community to consider supporting my daughter, Dame Julia Weaver of Words First of the Nouse.

2077
02:15:40,020 --> 02:15:49,480
She has had a dream of being an author since she was 12, and now at 20, has reached the next stage of that dream by getting published in an anthology.

2078
02:15:50,000 --> 02:15:59,120
I would love it if the NOAA Gen community would consider purchasing a copy of her book through her website, www.julianous.com.

2079
02:15:59,860 --> 02:16:16,920
If you are unable to buy a book, consider sending her an ITM by email as an encouragement at author, at Julian, J-U-L-I-N-A-U-S, Julian Nouse, Nouse, Nouse, Nouse.com.

2080
02:16:17,060 --> 02:16:21,720
Thank you for your ongoing excellent work, John and Adam.

2081
02:16:22,040 --> 02:16:22,500
Dave.

2082
02:16:22,780 --> 02:16:23,620
Thank you, Dave.

2083
02:16:24,280 --> 02:16:27,600
Annabelle Welch is next, Burian Washington 212.

2084
02:16:27,840 --> 02:16:28,060
Hello.

2085
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:29,980
Thanks for the amazing content.

2086
02:16:30,180 --> 02:16:36,940
I have been listening to your podcast for a few years with my dad, and it is my favorite, best podcast in the universe.

2087
02:16:36,940 --> 02:16:39,160
Requesting goat karma, shut up slave.

2088
02:16:39,280 --> 02:16:41,860
My great-grandpa is turning 90 tomorrow.

2089
02:16:42,260 --> 02:16:43,780
He is on the list, sincerely.

2090
02:16:43,980 --> 02:16:45,400
Annabelle Welch, who's 12.

2091
02:16:45,540 --> 02:16:48,180
That's a very sweet gift for your grandpa.

2092
02:16:48,459 --> 02:16:49,320
How nice is that?

2093
02:16:49,760 --> 02:16:54,400
Yes, we'll give you a little shut up slave and some goat karma for him, for you.

2094
02:16:54,580 --> 02:16:55,260
We're happy to do it.

2095
02:16:55,740 --> 02:16:57,160
Shut up, slave.

2096
02:16:57,379 --> 02:17:00,020
You've got karma.

2097
02:17:02,299 --> 02:17:06,680
Zachary Johnson, Park Rapids, Minnesota, 21060.

Thank you, Zachary.

2107
02:17:28,879 --> 02:17:33,040
Matthew Martel is in Brumal, Pennsylvania, 21060.

NOAGENDABUNDLE.

2115
02:17:48,520 --> 02:17:48,959
What do you get?

2116
02:17:49,139 --> 02:17:51,320
A hammer and a bunch of nails.

2117
02:17:52,540 --> 02:18:00,459
Sean McKeon, I think it's McKeon, in Glastonbury, Connecticut, 21060.

2118
02:18:00,520 --> 02:18:03,480
In the morning, keep up the good work and incisive analysis.

2119
02:18:03,799 --> 02:18:10,299
Adam, you were on target with your election predictions, but hopefully Trump wasn't handed an economy ready to tank.

2120
02:18:11,059 --> 02:18:17,420
Two jingle requests, Trump's jobs, jobs, jobs, followed by it's true.

2121
02:18:17,900 --> 02:18:19,080
Okay, we got it.

2122
02:18:19,320 --> 02:18:21,940
Jobs, jobs, jobs.

2123
02:18:22,020 --> 02:18:22,660
That's true.

2124
02:18:24,980 --> 02:18:26,740
You've got karma.

2125
02:18:28,820 --> 02:18:31,000
And there, oh, another Zachary.

2126
02:18:31,100 --> 02:18:32,100
We have two Zachary's today.

2127
02:18:32,260 --> 02:18:40,020
Zachary Johnson earlier, now Zachary Welch from Burien, Washington, where we had the Texans last week, last show, it's the Washingtonians today.

2128
02:18:40,920 --> 02:18:48,660
202, error 202 donation, he says, compared to shrink the amygdala request received, but processing is not completed.

2129
02:18:49,500 --> 02:18:52,639
Read Mass Control by Jim Keith, tip of the day for Jim Keith.

2130
02:18:52,639 --> 02:18:58,440
John, the Monica Perez show host is reading it on her pod for free.

2131
02:18:59,500 --> 02:19:00,959
Oh, there's a great tip.

2132
02:19:01,980 --> 02:19:02,379
What?

2133
02:19:03,080 --> 02:19:13,860
Monica Perez, the Monica Perez show is reading the book Mass Control by Jim Keith on her pod for free.

2134
02:19:15,280 --> 02:19:17,840
He's doing a- Probably a violation of somebody's copyright.

2135
02:19:18,139 --> 02:19:18,719
I didn't think so.

2136
02:19:21,160 --> 02:19:24,600
You know, why don't you get the next one and I have to go look at it, some email.

2137
02:19:24,980 --> 02:19:35,840
Sure, Anonymous, Clifton Park, New York, $200.47. I believe I've reached knighthood status, status, status, status in- You sound like the guy from NPR.

2138
02:19:36,200 --> 02:19:38,600
Status, status, in December 19th, 2023.

2139
02:19:39,700 --> 02:19:42,400
But there's nothing better than delayed gratification.

2140
02:19:43,080 --> 02:19:47,219
Like the gratification of 47 Savage after four years of insanity.

2141
02:19:47,440 --> 02:19:48,380
D-douche if you must.

2142
02:19:48,380 --> 02:19:49,240
If you must.

2143
02:19:49,640 --> 02:19:49,920
If you must.

2144
02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:51,680
You've been D-douched.

2145
02:19:53,880 --> 02:19:58,120
Thank you, John and Adam and the entire No Agenda community for the amazing body of work.

2146
02:19:58,300 --> 02:19:59,500
V for V is lit.

2147
02:19:59,640 --> 02:20:02,640
Please knight me, Sir Dizzy Top of the Dusty Hills.

2148
02:20:03,040 --> 02:20:05,820
And I'd like a jingle, which is John's Hot Pockets.

2149
02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:07,320
Hot Pockets.

2150
02:20:09,080 --> 02:20:10,100
That's a good one.

2151
02:20:10,220 --> 02:20:10,460
Wow.

2152
02:20:10,780 --> 02:20:11,720
Yeah, that's nice.

2153
02:20:11,820 --> 02:20:25,040
Linda Lou Patkin in Lakewood, Colorado comes in with 200 bucks and says, hey John, as you requested, I visited at instaheadshots.com and the photos look impressive, although I haven't personally tried their service when it comes to including a photo on a resume.

2154
02:20:25,460 --> 02:20:33,360
I recommend against it, as it takes up valuable space that could be better utilized to showcase achievements.

2155
02:20:33,560 --> 02:20:40,760
However, the website could be an excellent resource for professional headshots for use on LinkedIn or a bio.

2156
02:20:41,880 --> 02:20:42,500
There you go.

2157
02:20:42,700 --> 02:20:42,900
All right.

2158
02:20:43,540 --> 02:20:48,680
Speaking of an excellent resource for a resume that gets results, go to imagemakersinc.com.

2159
02:20:48,760 --> 02:20:54,140
That's imagemakersinc with a K.com and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes.

2160
02:20:54,660 --> 02:20:56,340
Jobs, Karma, please love you guys.

2161
02:20:56,520 --> 02:20:56,800
Linda.

2162
02:20:57,120 --> 02:21:00,420
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

2163
02:21:00,500 --> 02:21:02,060
Let's vote for jobs.

2164
02:21:02,560 --> 02:21:02,680
Yes!

2165
02:21:05,340 --> 02:21:07,120
And then we'll get to the end.

2166
02:21:07,180 --> 02:21:08,300
Yes, actually this is our last one.

2167
02:21:08,380 --> 02:21:11,100
Associate Executive Producer, Sir Tom and Dame Rhonda.

2168
02:21:11,520 --> 02:21:14,920
And they sent in a note, a handwritten note.

2169
02:21:15,080 --> 02:21:16,280
I see a card here.

2170
02:21:16,380 --> 02:21:30,800
John and Adam, just a couple of weeks ago, the No Agenda Night, Sir Tom of the 1015 was given a special lapel pin by the U.S. Army to commemorate his meritorious service to America during the COVID pandemic.

2171
02:21:31,220 --> 02:21:34,780
He's a civilian DOD employee in FEMA Region 4.

2172
02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:41,560
We have not yet figured out how actually going into work throughout the pandemic exhibits courage, but here we are.

2173
02:21:44,160 --> 02:21:53,200
Through means which we cannot discuss or disclose, Sir Tom has acquired official U.S. Army COVID courage pins for you both, and they're enclosed herein.

2174
02:21:53,560 --> 02:22:01,860
We both agree that if anyone needs to be officially appreciated and acknowledged for their courage during the dark times of COVID, it will be both of you.

2175
02:22:02,100 --> 02:22:08,260
We appreciate you for keeping Amygdala small and we continue to be ever so thankful for your courage.

2176
02:22:08,420 --> 02:22:09,120
Four more years!

2177
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:17,340
Oh, and also included is a check to congratulate you both on 17 years of courage, ITM, Sir Tom, and Dame Rhonda.

2178
02:22:18,280 --> 02:22:21,200
You know, I would really love to have my pin.

2179
02:22:22,920 --> 02:22:27,320
I have to tell you this, and this is a fact, she only sent one pin.

2180
02:22:28,660 --> 02:22:30,080
Oh, that's a bummer.

2181
02:22:30,160 --> 02:22:34,300
Is this like we had two barrels of wine and yours broke during the summer?

2182
02:22:34,700 --> 02:22:38,520
No, no, no, this was not like the, and by the way, it was a broken mug.

2183
02:22:40,680 --> 02:22:42,860
They sent two mugs and one broke, it was yours.

2184
02:22:43,260 --> 02:22:44,800
Mine broke, now I remember.

2185
02:22:45,260 --> 02:22:52,560
No, the only one pin showed up and I have to wonder, and we checked the envelope, Jay and I both looked at it and there was no way it got out of the envelope.

2186
02:22:52,860 --> 02:23:00,360
So it wasn't like the gold coin somebody sent once, I won't say who, but so I don't know what to say.

2187
02:23:00,800 --> 02:23:02,940
The pin is a weird looking thing.

2188
02:23:03,020 --> 02:23:05,320
It's the smallest pin you can imagine.

2189
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:11,240
And it's like, you'd have to know exactly what this pin is to recognize it on someone.

2190
02:23:11,420 --> 02:23:12,560
Well, I'm sure there's a lot of it.

2191
02:23:12,640 --> 02:23:14,660
You can have mine if they don't have another one.

2192
02:23:14,660 --> 02:23:15,480
Oh, that's very kind.

2193
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:16,260
No, it's all right.

2194
02:23:16,640 --> 02:23:20,280
I can always, next time I visit you, I can always look at it and touch it.

2195
02:23:24,180 --> 02:23:30,460
Thank you very much to these producers, executive and associate executive producers who helped us out for show 1711.

2196
02:23:30,620 --> 02:23:31,800
It is highly appreciated.

2197
02:23:32,200 --> 02:23:38,000
Remember that these credits are welcome and useful anywhere show business credits are recognized.

2198
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:40,780
That's a lot of places, including imdb.com.

2199
02:23:40,900 --> 02:23:43,140
Thank you again for producing 1711.

2200
02:23:43,500 --> 02:23:44,740
Our formula is this.

2201
02:23:45,560 --> 02:23:48,080
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.

2202
02:23:56,420 --> 02:23:57,500
Hot pockets.

2203
02:24:02,600 --> 02:24:06,020
So the 4B movement, this is what we're talking about.

2204
02:24:06,240 --> 02:24:07,380
Yeah, the 4B movement.

2205
02:24:07,380 --> 02:24:08,540
Yes, the 4B.

2206
02:24:08,820 --> 02:24:12,260
Now this started in Korea, I believe.

2207
02:24:12,420 --> 02:24:12,580
Yep.

2208
02:24:13,200 --> 02:24:18,400
And this is like a whole bunch, it's like some feminist movement and it spilled over.

2209
02:24:18,920 --> 02:24:21,260
And I don't know if it's really spilled over.

2210
02:24:21,300 --> 02:24:24,060
I thought it started by incel men in Korea.

2211
02:24:24,200 --> 02:24:28,220
I don't know how this somehow morphed into a woman's movement.

2212
02:24:28,360 --> 02:24:32,140
Well, maybe it's been co-opted by the women here in America.

2213
02:24:32,260 --> 02:24:40,340
And I'm not so sure this is, I mean, I have not seen, maybe I need to go to Austin, but I haven't really seen any women with their head shaved.

2214
02:24:40,680 --> 02:24:43,140
There's not gonna be any in Fredericksburg or any place normal.

2215
02:24:43,240 --> 02:24:44,860
There won't even be any around here.

2216
02:24:45,000 --> 02:24:50,160
I went to the vet the other day to pick up some stuff for Phoebe.

2217
02:24:50,260 --> 02:24:52,280
And I always take her and we weigh her to see what she weighs.

2218
02:24:52,360 --> 02:24:54,920
She's 97.4, which is good, she's down.

2219
02:24:56,220 --> 02:25:00,400
And the girls there were like, are we celebrating?

2220
02:25:00,640 --> 02:25:01,880
I said, what do you mean, Trump?

2221
02:25:02,340 --> 02:25:04,060
And she's like, yeah, we're all so happy.

2222
02:25:04,060 --> 02:25:06,220
It's all great, it feels fantastic.

2223
02:25:06,440 --> 02:25:07,600
They were so happy.

2224
02:25:08,140 --> 02:25:09,460
They're so happy around here.

2225
02:25:09,720 --> 02:25:12,140
Fredericksburg is jubilant, I tell you.

2226
02:25:12,720 --> 02:25:14,600
Unlike what- Yeah, especially since the grid didn't go down.

2227
02:25:15,680 --> 02:25:18,340
Unlike what's been happening with the 4B movement.

2228
02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:19,640
Let's learn more, shall we?

2229
02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:32,560
Since the election of Donald Trump, some American women on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have been showing an increasing interest in a social trend originating in South Korea called the 4B movement.

2230
02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:39,100
It's proponents oppose dating men, having sex with men, marrying men, and having children with them.

2231
02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:41,120
Stop talking to the men.

2232
02:25:41,580 --> 02:25:45,280
Delete, block, say your goodbyes, and leave it at that.

2233
02:25:45,340 --> 02:25:51,480
If you secretly had to vote for Kamala because of your husband, I just want you to know that it's okay to divorce him.

2234
02:25:51,620 --> 02:25:54,400
We're building a whole community of ladies who are happy being single.

2235
02:25:54,780 --> 02:25:55,940
And guess what?

2236
02:25:56,240 --> 02:26:00,860
If your husband voted for Trump, especially if he knows that you didn't, he hates your guts.

2237
02:26:00,860 --> 02:26:03,580
Come join us over here on this side.

2238
02:26:04,300 --> 02:26:05,840
It's called the right side of history.

2239
02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:09,220
Posts shared in the last few days on TikTok.

2240
02:26:10,060 --> 02:26:16,260
Shawn Lei got more on the 4B movement from Ming Julie from Occidental College in Southern California.

2241
02:26:16,820 --> 02:26:24,960
In English, literal translation of it is no marriage, no relationship, no birth, and no sex.

2242
02:26:25,380 --> 02:26:40,380
And it refers to a movement where some group of women, feminists, decided that they are fed up with the patriarchal system and the misogyny that was latent in Korean society for a long time, and that they are going to do something about it.

2243
02:26:40,760 --> 02:26:42,840
So I have a couple more clips about this.

2244
02:26:42,900 --> 02:26:51,640
Not very long, but I wonder, can this be classified in DSM-5 as some kind of mental illness where you do these types of things?

2245
02:26:53,140 --> 02:26:53,620
Probably.

2246
02:26:54,020 --> 02:26:57,060
It's had quite an impact though on social media, hasn't it?

2247
02:26:57,060 --> 02:27:00,260
And now it's translated to the United States.

2248
02:27:00,620 --> 02:27:02,100
What's happening in America?

2249
02:27:02,260 --> 02:27:03,760
Why is it being picked up there?

2250
02:27:04,440 --> 02:27:23,980
So in the US, after the election, some women, especially it seems like the women who are living in more red states, decided that actually they, similar to the Korean woman who felt like they couldn't trust the men in their lives, also couldn't trust the men who are in their lives or potentially the men who they might go out on dates with.

2251
02:27:23,980 --> 02:27:39,820
So they decided that they were also going to refrain from the sexual relationships or dating with men until they can know actually that these men are men who can be trusted to honor, respect women and respect women's health.

2252
02:27:40,560 --> 02:27:43,680
Do you think this is also mandatory for trans women?

2253
02:27:46,680 --> 02:27:48,420
I think you're getting ahead of yourself.

2254
02:27:49,280 --> 02:27:58,920
Do they think then that white, black, Latina men who have voted for Donald Trump somehow become suspect to them, that they are not trustworthy?

2255
02:27:59,920 --> 02:28:02,540
Yes, because in some sense,

2256
02:28:02,640 --> 02:28:05,080
it seems like the sexual misconduct allegations

2257
02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:07,440
as well as how big of an issue women's health

2258
02:28:07,440 --> 02:28:09,540
and abortion rights was for this election,

2259
02:28:10,120 --> 02:28:13,120
it seems the case that even if all the men

2260
02:28:13,120 --> 02:28:16,060
who voted for Donald Trump are not opposed

2261
02:28:16,060 --> 02:28:18,780
to abortion rights or opposed to women's rights

2262
02:28:18,780 --> 02:28:20,980
or other things, that it seems to be the case

2263
02:28:20,980 --> 02:28:23,360
that that is something that they are willing

2264
02:28:23,360 --> 02:28:27,160
to kind of sideline in order to vote him into the office.

2265
02:28:27,360 --> 02:28:28,960
So that is a factor.

2266
02:28:29,520 --> 02:28:32,880
Back in South Korea, what impact has 4B made?

2267
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:36,480
There has been some change, but not necessarily in a good way.

2268
02:28:37,040 --> 02:28:46,720
And that is one of the things that I'm partly concerned about for the 4B movement in the US as well, because in Korea, this movement has been happening for quite a while.

2269
02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:56,380
And the results that you see nowadays isn't necessarily like a lot of men saying that, oh, they're into feminists now, or that they believe in women's cause.

2270
02:28:56,660 --> 02:29:03,160
It's more so the case that some men have become very radical anti-feminist as a reaction to the 4B movement.

2271
02:29:03,520 --> 02:29:11,860
So it doesn't seem to be the case that on an individual level, it has changed men's perspective to be more like gender equal or feminist.

2272
02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:13,600
It has gone in the other direction.

2273
02:29:14,440 --> 02:29:16,320
What did she just say?

2274
02:29:17,080 --> 02:29:17,520
Nothing?

2275
02:29:18,100 --> 02:29:23,340
I'm telling you, this to me seems like it's only a thing on social media.

2276
02:29:23,720 --> 02:29:25,840
It's only a virtue signal thing.

2277
02:29:26,280 --> 02:29:40,200
And what I have seen, a lot of very jubilant black women in America who are like, oh, we've had a thousand orders for our $10 bracelet, blue bracelet, which is like money in the bank.

2278
02:29:41,340 --> 02:29:43,940
It's like everyone's selling these blue bracelets now.

2279
02:29:44,080 --> 02:29:46,340
It's like a big moneymaker.

2280
02:29:47,780 --> 02:29:49,380
And I think it's a great idea.

2281
02:29:49,660 --> 02:29:52,580
Do you worry that could happen in the United States too?

2282
02:29:53,120 --> 02:30:13,260
I do worry about that because if there aren't any specific demands for legal reform or certain demands that the 4B movement are making, then it's kind of unclear to the men or the larger society that they're trying to send a message to on what needs to be done in order for this movement to stop eventually.

2283
02:30:15,220 --> 02:30:18,200
God, I like the head shaving personally.

2284
02:30:18,680 --> 02:30:20,020
I think that's funny.

2285
02:30:20,100 --> 02:30:25,600
Do you see the one that was bitching about having cancer and being lumped in with the other head shavers?

2286
02:30:25,800 --> 02:30:27,800
No, I didn't see that, but that doesn't surprise me.

2287
02:30:28,060 --> 02:30:29,520
It doesn't surprise me, yeah.

2288
02:30:29,740 --> 02:30:32,220
I like the head shaving though, so we can identify it.

2289
02:30:32,240 --> 02:30:34,800
These people just want to take themselves out of the gene pool.

2290
02:30:34,900 --> 02:30:35,880
I think that's a benefit.

2291
02:30:36,140 --> 02:30:37,340
Yeah, yeah.

2292
02:30:37,460 --> 02:30:41,940
So wear the blue bracelet and you can find somebody sympathetic.

2293
02:30:41,940 --> 02:30:43,880
I think it's like a warning sign.

2294
02:30:43,960 --> 02:30:45,240
It's like, you know, stay away.

2295
02:30:45,420 --> 02:30:47,660
Putting this, you know, stay away.

2296
02:30:48,020 --> 02:30:50,000
Red A card in your forehead.

2297
02:30:50,360 --> 02:30:59,180
I defy anyone in our vast listening audience to find as one of these either head shaven or blue bracelets and take a picture.

2298
02:30:59,520 --> 02:31:00,080
I got to see it.

2299
02:31:00,080 --> 02:31:00,740
And there's also the blue tattoo.

2300
02:31:01,600 --> 02:31:03,340
Oh, what is the tattoo of?

2301
02:31:03,640 --> 02:31:16,220
Oh, okay, if you hold your right hand out and you go underneath the palm, on the wrist, on the left-hand part of the wrist, you tattoo a small blue heart.

2302
02:31:17,580 --> 02:31:18,640
It's really small.

2303
02:31:18,800 --> 02:31:20,880
It looks like a prison tattoo, is it?

2304
02:31:21,080 --> 02:31:25,160
But really, maybe it's a quarter of a half inch big.

2305
02:31:25,620 --> 02:31:27,060
Okay, well, yay.

2306
02:31:27,160 --> 02:31:28,800
That also means you're, that's permanent.

2307
02:31:28,880 --> 02:31:32,620
It's more permanent than the cheap, you know, bracelet.

2308
02:31:32,800 --> 02:31:33,880
You can take that off.

2309
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:38,260
Wow, okay, yippee.

2310
02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:43,360
Well, let's talk about the Trump-Musk bromance.

2311
02:31:44,040 --> 02:31:47,160
Okay, I'm glad you're tracking this.

2312
02:31:47,540 --> 02:31:48,900
Things I'm not- Somebody's got to.

2313
02:31:49,100 --> 02:31:50,240
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

2314
02:31:52,460 --> 02:31:54,700
So let's go, Trump bromance.

2315
02:31:55,220 --> 02:32:06,580
President-elect Donald Trump gave a special shout out during his victory speech this week to the billionaire who has companies that make electric cars and shoot for the stars, Elon Musk.

2316
02:32:06,680 --> 02:32:08,080
We have a new star.

2317
02:32:08,720 --> 02:32:10,360
A star is born, Elon.

2318
02:32:11,240 --> 02:32:13,520
Of course, Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.

2319
02:32:13,860 --> 02:32:17,600
He owns several companies that could benefit from Trump's presidency.

2320
02:32:18,440 --> 02:32:20,420
NPR's tech reporter, Dara Kerr, joins us.

2321
02:32:20,580 --> 02:32:21,760
Dara, thanks for being with us.

2322
02:32:22,120 --> 02:32:23,500
Of course, nice to be here.

2323
02:32:23,640 --> 02:32:27,000
We've seen this relationship grow right in front of our eyes.

2324
02:32:27,060 --> 02:32:27,940
How did it get started?

2325
02:32:28,040 --> 02:32:29,200
Where is she from?

2326
02:32:29,540 --> 02:32:31,000
She works for NPR?

2327
02:32:31,840 --> 02:32:33,060
Maybe, I don't know.

2328
02:32:33,160 --> 02:32:37,400
Elon Musk has been a supporter of Trump for a while.

2329
02:32:37,400 --> 02:32:43,700
But it was really in July when things got revved up, right after that first assassination attempt on Trump.

2330
02:32:44,120 --> 02:32:52,400
Almost immediately, Musk posted on his social media platform, X, I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.

2331
02:32:52,960 --> 02:32:56,480
And that's when the bromance between the two of them really took off.

2332
02:32:57,060 --> 02:33:02,620
Musk started deeply fundraising for Trump and posting more and more pro-Trump content on X.

2333
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,440
At the same time, he was criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris.

2334
02:33:06,440 --> 02:33:11,060
And in the last few weeks, Musk hit the campaign trail, speaking at Trump's rallies.

2335
02:33:11,720 --> 02:33:17,280
In all, Musk has donated more than $100 million of his personal money to the campaign.

2336
02:33:18,020 --> 02:33:23,500
And this has really earned him what seems to be a very close relationship with the president-elect.

2337
02:33:24,320 --> 02:33:30,300
And in addition to the benefits of friendship, what else could flow from this relationship?

2338
02:33:30,660 --> 02:33:30,920
Money.

2339
02:33:31,320 --> 02:33:35,180
It really boils down to all of the companies that Musk owns.

2340
02:33:35,180 --> 02:33:39,660
Besides X, he has Tesla and SpaceX, the rocket company.

2341
02:33:39,980 --> 02:33:43,860
He has Starlink, which is a satellite internet company, and even more.

2342
02:33:44,180 --> 02:33:48,340
And many of these companies rely on government grants and subsidies.

2343
02:33:49,120 --> 02:33:54,220
Tesla, for example, has gotten millions in government funding to install EV charging stations.

2344
02:33:54,880 --> 02:33:59,860
And SpaceX has been awarded billion dollar contracts from NASA for missions to the moon.

2345
02:34:00,340 --> 02:34:03,780
As a minor nitpick, Starlink is a part of SpaceX.

2346
02:34:03,780 --> 02:34:06,360
It's not a separate company, as far as I know.

2347
02:34:08,480 --> 02:34:09,920
Uh, could be, because it's a rocket.

2348
02:34:10,080 --> 02:34:10,560
You need rockets.

2349
02:34:10,720 --> 02:34:12,840
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it falls under SpaceX.

2350
02:34:13,520 --> 02:34:14,080
Could be.

2351
02:34:15,460 --> 02:34:16,700
But that's nitpicking.

2352
02:34:16,840 --> 02:34:17,160
It's good.

2353
02:34:17,440 --> 02:34:18,740
And fucking, it's where you go.

2354
02:34:20,680 --> 02:34:21,640
Thank you.

2355
02:34:22,100 --> 02:34:23,120
Uh, okay.

2356
02:34:23,240 --> 02:34:24,000
Onward, part two.

2357
02:34:24,040 --> 02:34:30,040
And so now there are some fears that he can get more contracts or that he may face less government scrutiny.

2358
02:34:30,360 --> 02:34:32,140
I spoke to Gita Johar.

2359
02:34:32,260 --> 02:34:34,760
She's a professor at the Columbia Business School.

2360
02:34:34,760 --> 02:34:42,920
I think the government contracts could be given without much oversight to Musk, whether it's for SpaceX or whether it is for his satellite links.

2361
02:34:43,280 --> 02:34:47,900
And that's lack of regulation, lack of oversight, all of which will serve to benefit Musk.

2362
02:34:48,200 --> 02:34:56,440
I should say the Trump campaign representatives from SpaceX and X and Musk himself did not respond to our requests for comment.

2363
02:34:56,920 --> 02:35:09,740
Just yesterday, Trump had a call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and several major news outlets have reported that Musk was also on the call, though NPR has not independently confirmed those reports.

2364
02:35:10,280 --> 02:35:16,840
Musk's satellite company Starlink has played a big role in providing internet access to Ukraine during the war.

2365
02:35:17,760 --> 02:35:22,160
And of course, didn't Donald Trump mention that he might put Elon Musk on some government commission?

2366
02:35:22,780 --> 02:35:23,800
Yes, yes, he did.

2367
02:35:24,080 --> 02:35:29,700
This first came up in August when Musk interviewed Trump during a live stream conversation on X.

2368
02:35:30,180 --> 02:35:35,640
Musk told Trump that he should create a, quote, government efficiency commission.

2369
02:35:36,220 --> 02:35:53,000
Shortly after that, Trump announced that he would create the commission and put Musk in charge, which is something that experts are saying could create a conflict of interest because Musk could have some sort of influence over the agencies that are tasked with policing his companies.

2370
02:35:53,740 --> 02:35:57,640
And a lot of Musk's companies are under some sort of federal investigation.

2371
02:35:57,980 --> 02:36:05,960
We're talking inquiries by the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and so on.

2372
02:36:06,520 --> 02:36:13,480
And with this, quote, unquote, efficiency commission, both Musk and Trump have said they want to slash federal budget.

2373
02:36:14,320 --> 02:36:17,060
I think they're all missing the story here.

2374
02:36:17,240 --> 02:36:20,740
But this is like, this is all I hear.

2375
02:36:20,820 --> 02:36:24,020
Oh, he's going to get some kind of new deals with it.

2376
02:36:24,060 --> 02:36:25,380
He's already got all the deals.

2377
02:36:25,600 --> 02:36:27,680
He's got all the space deals.

2378
02:36:28,860 --> 02:36:31,360
It's an arm of the U.S. government at this point.

2379
02:36:31,680 --> 02:36:33,060
He's a military contractor.

2380
02:36:34,240 --> 02:36:35,320
And what is he running?

2381
02:36:35,600 --> 02:36:36,480
He can't run.

2382
02:36:36,960 --> 02:36:39,020
He's on X the whole time.

2383
02:36:39,100 --> 02:36:41,500
He's hanging out with Trump, making phone calls.

2384
02:36:41,600 --> 02:36:42,860
How can he run any company?

2385
02:36:43,380 --> 02:36:44,820
Someone else is running all this.

2386
02:36:46,220 --> 02:36:51,120
Well, let's go to the last clip and see if there's any season of reveal material.

2387
02:36:51,600 --> 02:36:56,700
At rallies, Trump has hailed Musk as the, quote, secretary of cost cutting.

2388
02:36:57,240 --> 02:37:01,680
And Musk has said he wants to cut two trillion dollars from the federal budget.

2389
02:37:02,100 --> 02:37:03,560
That's nearly a third of the budget.

2390
02:37:03,980 --> 02:37:09,620
Something that has puzzled me, because, of course, Elon Musk has a huge investment in electric vehicles.

2391
02:37:10,040 --> 02:37:10,180
Right.

2392
02:37:10,320 --> 02:37:13,040
Donald Trump used to hate EVs, didn't he?

2393
02:37:13,240 --> 02:37:13,840
Yes, yes.

2394
02:37:14,040 --> 02:37:16,440
But now he really seems to be on board with them.

2395
02:37:17,160 --> 02:37:20,580
And Trump has been giving Tesla real shout outs in his rallies.

2396
02:37:21,220 --> 02:37:24,640
In August, Trump said that he was all in for electric cars.

2397
02:37:24,820 --> 02:37:30,220
And then he said, quote, I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly.

2398
02:37:30,940 --> 02:37:35,220
So, Scott, it's really hard to tell what's going to happen come January.

2399
02:37:35,840 --> 02:37:44,520
But there's no doubt that we are going to keep hearing about this very public relationship between the president of the United States and the world's richest man.

2400
02:37:44,640 --> 02:37:45,760
My peers, Jerry Kerr.

2401
02:37:45,860 --> 02:37:46,540
Thanks so much.

2402
02:37:47,080 --> 02:37:50,420
Well, no, there was not much of the season of reveal there.

2403
02:37:51,200 --> 02:37:54,440
I think the thing that's being of this, a couple of things that could happen.

2404
02:37:54,760 --> 02:38:01,280
I could see, this is an odd off the wall thought, I could see X being nationalized.

2405
02:38:02,260 --> 02:38:03,200
As one.

2406
02:38:04,920 --> 02:38:05,480
Twitter?

2407
02:38:05,920 --> 02:38:06,260
Yeah.

2408
02:38:07,540 --> 02:38:09,080
I wish it nationalized Twitter.

2409
02:38:10,020 --> 02:38:10,980
Yeah, so it just becomes.

2410
02:38:11,040 --> 02:38:12,320
Well, that would get him out from under.

2411
02:38:12,480 --> 02:38:12,840
Yes.

2412
02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:17,440
So that just becomes, you know, with his whole section 230.

2413
02:38:17,620 --> 02:38:19,940
And it could be like the actual town square.

2414
02:38:20,520 --> 02:38:24,480
And everybody uses that, which would fall right in line with.

2415
02:38:27,160 --> 02:38:29,700
The not so much the cryptocurrency.

2416
02:38:30,940 --> 02:38:45,520
Policy that Trump has promised, we'll see at the Bitcoin conference, he said that there would be a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which includes every Bitcoin that the US government has seized, which I think is 250,000.

2417
02:38:45,940 --> 02:38:54,480
And that the United States would be purchasing 200,000 Bitcoin every single year to add to the reserve.

2418
02:38:54,480 --> 02:38:58,560
Of note is that Bitcoin went over 81,000 today.

2419
02:38:58,860 --> 02:38:59,420
Yeah.

2420
02:39:00,820 --> 02:39:01,380
Thanks.

2421
02:39:01,560 --> 02:39:02,040
Thanks, Trump.

2422
02:39:03,680 --> 02:39:10,880
But, you know, in Elon's be everything app, I've always thought that, you know, Trump made a secondary announcement.

2423
02:39:11,100 --> 02:39:16,660
He said, well, there's the Bitcoin reserve, but he wants to enhance the use of the stable coin.

2424
02:39:17,500 --> 02:39:27,120
And stable coins is very interesting for a guy like Trump, because you can issue stable coins, which are backed by treasuries and some Bitcoin.

2425
02:39:27,320 --> 02:39:32,520
But I think Tether is probably the largest purchaser of US debt at this point.

2426
02:39:33,160 --> 02:39:38,900
It's a great way to kind of print money without really printing it, if you know what I mean.

2427
02:39:41,200 --> 02:39:42,440
You think it's a workaround?

2428
02:39:42,620 --> 02:39:43,400
I think it is.

2429
02:39:43,440 --> 02:39:45,120
Yeah, I think it's some kind of workaround.

2430
02:39:45,320 --> 02:39:47,340
And then, you know, X would be the everything app.

2431
02:39:47,380 --> 02:39:49,280
You buy everything through X.

2432
02:39:50,120 --> 02:39:54,820
Maybe, maybe you nationalize it, you know, make it the place, make it like the phone company.

2433
02:39:55,980 --> 02:39:58,540
You know, get some telco rules in there.

2434
02:39:59,800 --> 02:40:01,920
Since no one's talking about it, I'm suspicious.

2435
02:40:02,260 --> 02:40:09,800
It feels like there's something with X that that may be some of Elon's endgame just for this.

2436
02:40:09,880 --> 02:40:10,800
I mean, he's got everything else.

2437
02:40:10,840 --> 02:40:14,820
He doesn't have to worry about his contracts and the EVs, whatever.

2438
02:40:15,920 --> 02:40:17,420
I just think it's a possibility.

2439
02:40:19,020 --> 02:40:20,840
Well, put it in the red book, people.

2440
02:40:21,080 --> 02:40:22,060
It is in the red book.

2441
02:40:22,160 --> 02:40:28,260
Now, the big question, of course, since COP 16 just ended, that is the Biodiversité conference.

2442
02:40:28,800 --> 02:40:30,780
And we're now on to COP 29.

2443
02:40:31,560 --> 02:40:37,460
But this COP is in Baku, home of the oil industry in Baku.

2444
02:40:37,720 --> 02:40:40,480
And well, we've we've got some questions.

2445
02:40:40,660 --> 02:40:41,580
And so Trump won.

2446
02:40:42,040 --> 02:40:45,000
Here are three potential implications for the climate fight.

2447
02:40:45,420 --> 02:40:47,440
One, amplified climate denial.

2448
02:40:47,720 --> 02:40:51,480
At least one in 10 Americans doesn't believe climate change is real.

2449
02:40:51,480 --> 02:40:55,860
Trump called the climate crisis one of the greatest scams of all time.

2450
02:40:56,080 --> 02:40:59,960
His views empowers others to follow suit and disclimate science.

2451
02:41:00,360 --> 02:41:01,900
Two, fossil fuel expansion.

2452
02:41:02,440 --> 02:41:05,780
The US is already the world's largest oil and gas producer.

2453
02:41:06,200 --> 02:41:11,260
On the campaign trail, Trump promised to boost domestic energy resources to lower fuel prices.

2454
02:41:11,760 --> 02:41:13,160
Three, policy reversal.

2455
02:41:13,620 --> 02:41:20,580
Domestically, Trump said he would get current climate subsidies that have injected billions into electric vehicles and clean energy.

2456
02:41:20,580 --> 02:41:25,840
Internationally, he could pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, as he did in his first term.

2457
02:41:26,200 --> 02:41:30,680
Experts are concerned about what this could mean for the global fight against climate change.

2458
02:41:30,780 --> 02:41:33,040
Yes, that's the Deutsche Welle report.

2459
02:41:33,400 --> 02:41:35,620
France 24 views it similarly.

2460
02:41:35,980 --> 02:41:42,320
He has referred to climate change as a hoax, and experts warn that his second term in office could pose a serious threat to the planet.

2461
02:41:43,540 --> 02:41:46,860
We will drill, baby, drill.

2462
02:41:47,240 --> 02:41:48,480
We're going to drill.

2463
02:41:51,440 --> 02:41:58,720
According to the New York Times, Trump's transition team is planning to reduce the size of some national monuments to enable more drilling and mining.

2464
02:41:59,120 --> 02:42:00,220
National monuments?

2465
02:42:02,240 --> 02:42:02,800
What?

2466
02:42:03,140 --> 02:42:08,720
Yeah, according to the New York Times, Trump's going to reduce the size of some national monuments?

2467
02:42:09,640 --> 02:42:11,040
Like Mount Rushmore?

2468
02:42:12,060 --> 02:42:12,520
What?

2469
02:42:12,620 --> 02:42:12,980
No.

2470
02:42:13,160 --> 02:42:14,580
What national monuments?

2471
02:42:15,420 --> 02:42:19,380
Well, the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., that big obelisk, or whatever it's called.

2472
02:42:19,380 --> 02:42:21,240
Maybe they mean...

2473
02:42:21,240 --> 02:42:21,820
They're going to drill there?

2474
02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:23,020
I don't know.

2475
02:42:23,200 --> 02:42:23,660
I don't know.

2476
02:42:24,040 --> 02:42:26,120
Well, they should be explaining it in these articles.

2477
02:42:26,260 --> 02:42:29,380
You should be an expert after reading the article, but apparently not.

2478
02:42:30,040 --> 02:42:37,000
According to the New York Times, Trump's transition team is planning to reduce the size of some national monuments to enable more drilling and mining.

2479
02:42:39,020 --> 02:42:40,060
The team has grown, Peggy.

2480
02:42:40,280 --> 02:42:46,940
I think what they're referring to is the parks, the national monument parks.

2481
02:42:47,240 --> 02:42:49,220
They can reduce the size of the park.

2482
02:42:49,380 --> 02:42:53,120
And on the outer edges, or wherever they want to, they can do some drilling.

2483
02:42:53,360 --> 02:42:53,600
OK.

2484
02:42:54,080 --> 02:43:00,280
The team has drawn up executive orders on withdrawing from the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, the New York Times also states.

2485
02:43:01,540 --> 02:43:08,160
Under Trump's previous presidency, the U.S. pulled out of the agreement before Joe Biden reversed the move during his time in office.

2486
02:43:09,640 --> 02:43:17,360
Some experts fear the deal's goal of limiting global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius could become near impossible during Trump's next term.

2487
02:43:18,320 --> 02:43:25,620
New York Times also reported that Trump aims to do away with a waiver that allows California and other states to have firmer pollution standards.

2488
02:43:26,860 --> 02:43:31,900
Trump's re-election will likely loom large over COP 29, set to open on Monday in Baku.

2489
02:43:32,120 --> 02:43:36,840
All right, so it's opening up Monday in Baku, and let's get the propaganda rolling, everybody.

2490
02:43:37,080 --> 02:43:42,980
Europe's Copernicus Climate Agency is saying 2024 will be the hottest year on record.

2491
02:43:43,540 --> 02:43:46,100
And Crystal Demansing has the details from London.

2492
02:43:46,220 --> 02:43:47,340
She's been looking through that report.

2493
02:43:47,680 --> 02:43:51,460
And can tell us more about the very stark warnings it contains.

2494
02:43:51,580 --> 02:43:52,260
Good morning, Crystal.

2495
02:43:52,700 --> 02:43:53,440
Good morning, Heather.

2496
02:43:53,660 --> 02:43:55,380
Yes, I was speaking with Carlo Buentempo.

2497
02:43:55,480 --> 02:43:58,300
He is the director of Copernicus Climate Change Service.

2498
02:43:58,660 --> 02:44:06,320
And he said, quote, he is virtually certain based on all of the data that 2024 will be the warmest year on record.

2499
02:44:06,520 --> 02:44:12,760
Now that builds on the fact that 2023 was previously labeled as the warmest year on record.

2500
02:44:13,020 --> 02:44:18,040
So that is sort of one of those dire situations shared with us today.

2501
02:44:18,160 --> 02:44:30,880
But we're also being told that scientists have found that global temperatures for the past 12 months were 1.62 degrees higher than levels recorded at the start of the Industrial Revolution.

2502
02:44:31,220 --> 02:44:32,540
So why is that key?

2503
02:44:32,660 --> 02:44:36,700
Well, you might recall that number 1.5, keep 1.5 alive.

2504
02:44:36,840 --> 02:44:46,140
That was the number that global scientists have been using for years, telling leaders that they have to keep the level of warming to that number or around there.

2505
02:44:46,140 --> 02:44:55,760
In order to protect the environment, to limit those extreme weather events and assure there isn't a rapid rise in temperature.

2506
02:44:55,920 --> 02:44:57,580
We have to protect the environment.

2507
02:44:57,860 --> 02:45:00,320
Bring back the bikinis to climate change.

2508
02:45:00,600 --> 02:45:08,700
And then the final clip is from our very own favorite secretary general of the United Nations who loves these trips.

2509
02:45:08,920 --> 02:45:12,940
He was just in Colombia for the cop down there.

2510
02:45:13,000 --> 02:45:16,120
Now he's going to Baku for the guy is so busy.

2511
02:45:16,780 --> 02:45:18,200
You know, he's very busy.

2512
02:45:18,800 --> 02:45:20,920
And I took I took out all of his.

2513
02:45:21,720 --> 02:45:28,400
You know, all of the all this nonsense up front, because what do you think he's really going for right now?

2514
02:45:28,560 --> 02:45:32,320
What what is the one thing that's lacking from all of these cop meetings?

2515
02:45:33,180 --> 02:45:33,960
Good restaurants.

2516
02:45:34,400 --> 02:45:38,920
Money, the gap between it's always about money.

2517
02:45:39,040 --> 02:45:39,700
We need more money.

2518
02:45:39,900 --> 02:45:42,400
And it's got to come from the IMF and the World Bank.

2519
02:45:42,520 --> 02:45:52,600
The gap between the funds needed for adaptation and the funds available to developing countries is set to reach up to three hundred fifty nine billion U.S. dollars a year by 2030.

2520
02:45:52,980 --> 02:45:54,760
You got to get some of that money flowing, people.

2521
02:45:55,040 --> 02:45:57,340
We need urgent action in four areas.

2522
02:45:57,920 --> 02:46:09,120
First, new national climate action plans or NDCs must set out adaptation, planning, financing and implementation needs clearly informed by high quality data.

2523
02:46:09,180 --> 02:46:10,900
I want to drink your blood.

2524
02:46:11,700 --> 02:46:17,640
Second, every person on Earth must be protected by an effective early warning system by 2027.

2525
02:46:18,020 --> 02:46:19,160
Early warning system.

2526
02:46:19,680 --> 02:46:22,560
Oh, what is this effective early warning system?

2527
02:46:22,700 --> 02:46:23,480
What would that be?

2528
02:46:23,620 --> 02:46:25,200
Hey, it's going to be hot today.

2529
02:46:25,280 --> 02:46:26,880
It's called the weather report, dude.

2530
02:46:27,420 --> 02:46:30,720
In line with the United Nations early warnings for all initiatives.

2531
02:46:31,280 --> 02:46:35,720
Third, a massive increase in adaptation finance from public and private sources.

2532
02:46:35,940 --> 02:46:36,840
More finance.

2533
02:46:37,700 --> 02:46:41,420
Every country must have the means to protect themselves from climate extremes.

2534
02:46:42,020 --> 02:46:46,640
And since the benefits of adaptation to drive progress across the sustainable development goals.

2535
02:46:47,180 --> 02:46:53,060
OK, we need developed countries to double adaptation finance to at least 40 billion US dollars a year by 2025.

2536
02:46:53,660 --> 02:46:57,100
What an important step to close the finance gap.

2537
02:46:57,540 --> 02:47:02,780
We need to unlock a new climate finance goal at COP 29 and to build.

2538
02:47:02,900 --> 02:47:03,600
What does that mean?

2539
02:47:03,700 --> 02:47:05,820
Unlock a new finance goal.

2540
02:47:06,880 --> 02:47:09,840
This these guys are only trying to bilk money.

2541
02:47:10,740 --> 02:47:12,620
This is the American taxpayer.

2542
02:47:12,620 --> 02:47:29,500
From us, we need to unlock a new climate finance goal at COP 29 and to build on the pact for the future by driving action on debt and substantially increasing the lending capacity of the multilateral development banks and their potential to leverage far more private finance.

2543
02:47:30,460 --> 02:47:38,540
Today's report estimates that developing countries outside China are spending more on debt interest payments than they need for adaptation.

2544
02:47:38,540 --> 02:47:42,420
Yeah, right.

2545
02:47:42,860 --> 02:47:44,060
Strike the heart of the crisis.

2546
02:47:44,380 --> 02:47:45,720
But they're not going to call out China.

2547
02:47:45,820 --> 02:47:47,020
They're going to call out the US.

2548
02:47:47,340 --> 02:47:47,880
House gases.

2549
02:47:48,980 --> 02:47:53,300
The G20 must lead global efforts to cut emissions 9% a year to 2030.

2550
02:47:54,020 --> 02:47:56,140
Phase out fossil fuels fast and fairly.

2551
02:47:57,000 --> 02:48:02,500
Accelerate the renewables revolution so that we limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

2552
02:48:03,420 --> 02:48:05,060
The climate crisis is here.

2553
02:48:05,660 --> 02:48:06,940
We can't postpone protection.

2554
02:48:07,760 --> 02:48:08,520
We must adapt to the climate crisis.

2555
02:48:08,540 --> 02:48:11,900
No, the climate crisis is in your ear.

2556
02:48:15,920 --> 02:48:19,020
The sooner we get rid of this nonsense, the better too.

2557
02:48:19,360 --> 02:48:19,740
Yes, I.

2558
02:48:20,540 --> 02:48:21,340
Good luck.

2559
02:48:21,600 --> 02:48:22,780
Then it always seems real.

2560
02:48:23,100 --> 02:48:23,880
Well, because all right.

2561
02:48:23,920 --> 02:48:25,860
Well, I money has too much money.

2562
02:48:25,900 --> 02:48:26,780
Everyone loves the money.

2563
02:48:27,360 --> 02:48:28,260
That's the point.

2564
02:48:28,580 --> 02:48:29,760
We're going to make money.

2565
02:48:30,480 --> 02:48:32,500
Without doing any work, by the way.

2566
02:48:32,560 --> 02:48:32,840
Yes.

2567
02:48:33,320 --> 02:48:33,760
Traveling.

2568
02:48:33,840 --> 02:48:35,000
Very hard meetings.

2569
02:48:36,160 --> 02:48:36,600
Traveling.

2570
02:48:36,860 --> 02:48:40,260
I'd be remiss if I don't play my latest A.I. clip.

2571
02:48:40,560 --> 02:48:40,980
OK.

2572
02:48:41,440 --> 02:48:42,720
And you want to set it up?

2573
02:48:43,220 --> 02:48:45,420
This is Biden on a phone call with Obama.

2574
02:48:46,900 --> 02:48:49,740
These these never work so well if you don't see the video.

2575
02:48:49,920 --> 02:48:50,540
But OK.

2576
02:48:51,740 --> 02:48:53,160
It's got good voices.

2577
02:48:53,420 --> 02:48:53,540
OK.

2578
02:48:56,260 --> 02:48:57,520
Tough break for Kami, huh?

2579
02:48:58,200 --> 02:48:59,180
You just started a war.

2580
02:48:59,660 --> 02:49:00,780
No, I just finished one.

2581
02:49:01,220 --> 02:49:03,220
I am going to do everything in my power to end you.

2582
02:49:03,480 --> 02:49:05,280
Listen here, I've been around a lot longer than you.

2583
02:49:05,440 --> 02:49:06,140
Yeah, no shit.

2584
02:49:06,420 --> 02:49:08,220
You never understood how this really works.

2585
02:49:08,800 --> 02:49:11,140
You were always a good soldier for them, but not me.

2586
02:49:11,740 --> 02:49:13,580
I didn't get plucked out of nowhere like you did.

2587
02:49:14,220 --> 02:49:16,760
I spent 40 years hiding skeletons for those fucks.

2588
02:49:17,100 --> 02:49:19,320
I knew you were fucking stupid, but this is insane.

2589
02:49:19,820 --> 02:49:21,500
You really don't know the enemies you just made.

2590
02:49:21,860 --> 02:49:23,620
We are going to erase you from history.

2591
02:49:23,720 --> 02:49:25,420
Oh, like I give a fuck I've made my bed.

2592
02:49:25,800 --> 02:49:26,260
I'll lay in it.

2593
02:49:26,280 --> 02:49:26,900
Oh, John.

2594
02:49:26,900 --> 02:49:28,120
You know my family is protected.

2595
02:49:28,420 --> 02:49:29,040
How about yours?

2596
02:49:29,420 --> 02:49:31,680
How long do you think before investigations start?

2597
02:49:32,240 --> 02:49:34,280
How long do you think you'll stay useful to them?

2598
02:49:34,700 --> 02:49:36,160
Besides, give yourself some credit.

2599
02:49:36,580 --> 02:49:38,140
You were the one that dared him to run.

2600
02:49:38,400 --> 02:49:40,040
And now I gave him the Oval Office.

2601
02:49:40,380 --> 02:49:40,820
How about you?

2602
02:49:41,260 --> 02:49:42,300
Joe, what the fuck did you do?

2603
02:49:42,700 --> 02:49:43,500
I don't remember.

2604
02:49:44,260 --> 02:49:45,720
I'm just a crazy old man, right?

2605
02:49:46,200 --> 02:49:47,280
Did you make a deal with him?

2606
02:49:48,120 --> 02:49:49,760
Like I said, my family is protected.

2607
02:49:50,320 --> 02:49:52,020
Hold on, I got someone who wants to talk to you.

2608
02:49:52,940 --> 02:49:53,540
Hello, Barry.

2609
02:49:53,640 --> 02:49:54,980
It's been quite a long time, hasn't it?

2610
02:49:55,620 --> 02:49:56,700
This isn't fucking over.

2611
02:49:58,700 --> 02:49:59,860
I'm not an idiot, Barry.

2612
02:49:59,920 --> 02:50:01,060
I just play one on TV.

2613
02:50:03,520 --> 02:50:09,700
You know, here, remember, $150 billion is being invested.

2614
02:50:10,480 --> 02:50:11,440
Here we go.

2615
02:50:11,480 --> 02:50:12,820
So that you can play clips.

2616
02:50:13,180 --> 02:50:17,580
The only reason why it's supposed to be funny is because they drop F-bombs.

2617
02:50:17,760 --> 02:50:21,600
Well, you know, they could do a better job of cutting those out.

2618
02:50:21,760 --> 02:50:22,700
I agree with that.

2619
02:50:22,740 --> 02:50:27,580
I don't think they need to be cussing like, although they probably do that in private chambers anyway.

2620
02:50:27,600 --> 02:50:31,260
It wouldn't even be a little bit funny if it wasn't that.

2621
02:50:31,480 --> 02:50:33,440
It's just the voices aren't that great.

2622
02:50:33,520 --> 02:50:34,680
It's better with the video.

2623
02:50:34,680 --> 02:50:37,420
Where's your tech grouch TikTok channel?

2624
02:50:38,380 --> 02:50:38,760
It's coming.

2625
02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:39,560
It's coming.

2626
02:50:39,740 --> 02:50:40,000
All right.

2627
02:50:40,120 --> 02:50:40,900
Well, coming soon.

2628
02:50:41,500 --> 02:50:42,380
Not AI.

2629
02:50:42,740 --> 02:50:49,520
But since we're talking about Joe's family being protected, the question was posed to Kareem Jean-Pierre Abdul-Jabbar.

2630
02:50:50,020 --> 02:50:58,100
Does the president intend to pardon any administration officials or people that Trump has threatened with any sort of legal actions?

2631
02:50:58,620 --> 02:51:00,500
He's got 74 days, as you mentioned.

2632
02:51:00,520 --> 02:51:01,060
Yeah, I know.

2633
02:51:01,120 --> 02:51:09,640
Pardon is going to be a big part of the questions that I get here over the next several weeks and a couple of months that we have.

2634
02:51:10,060 --> 02:51:13,900
I don't have anything to share or any thought process on pardons.

2635
02:51:14,040 --> 02:51:16,320
Once we have something to share, we certainly will share that.

2636
02:51:17,060 --> 02:51:22,580
Secondly, his son, Hunter, is also up for being sentenced next month.

2637
02:51:22,700 --> 02:51:26,220
Does the president have any intention of pardoning him?

2638
02:51:26,440 --> 02:51:28,300
We've been asked that question multiple times.

2639
02:51:28,440 --> 02:51:30,080
Our answer stands, which is no.

2640
02:51:31,100 --> 02:51:32,600
So not going to pardon Hunter?

2641
02:51:34,100 --> 02:51:35,560
According to sources say.

2642
02:51:36,100 --> 02:51:37,480
Jean-Pierre said it right there.

2643
02:51:37,980 --> 02:51:39,780
Well, then Trump will do it.

2644
02:51:41,180 --> 02:51:43,060
Yeah, because Joe did help him.

2645
02:51:43,160 --> 02:51:43,800
I must be honest.

2646
02:51:43,940 --> 02:51:46,160
Joe did him a solid with the Kamala nomination.

2647
02:51:46,480 --> 02:51:49,000
Yeah, he did him a real solid.

2648
02:51:49,000 --> 02:51:49,840
I'm sure he's well aware.

2649
02:51:50,120 --> 02:51:50,400
Yeah.

2650
02:51:50,940 --> 02:51:57,280
Have you heard these calls for Biden to step down early so that Kamala can- Well, you brought this up once already.

2651
02:51:57,800 --> 02:51:58,600
Yeah, no, no.

2652
02:51:58,880 --> 02:52:01,840
That was about the 25th Amendment.

2653
02:52:02,400 --> 02:52:04,640
But I think I saw something.

2654
02:52:07,000 --> 02:52:09,080
I've given this some thought, by the way.

2655
02:52:09,240 --> 02:52:09,440
Okay.

2656
02:52:09,560 --> 02:52:10,220
And what's your thought?

2657
02:52:10,780 --> 02:52:13,740
I think he won't do it because he doesn't want to look like a quitter.

2658
02:52:15,260 --> 02:52:16,980
And it would be good.

2659
02:52:17,080 --> 02:52:26,400
It would be funny because it would take out from the Democrats the first woman president card that they like to run on it.

2660
02:52:26,420 --> 02:52:32,540
They want to win one of these days using that as their motivation, even though it hasn't paid off yet.

2661
02:52:32,900 --> 02:52:33,860
But someday it might.

2662
02:52:34,580 --> 02:52:44,180
And so by making Kamala the 47th president for maybe just a month, that would pull the rug out from under all the Democrats' strategies for the future.

2663
02:52:44,600 --> 02:52:47,340
And then Trump would become number 48.

2664
02:52:48,160 --> 02:52:50,960
I have not vetted this, but it's pretty short.

2665
02:52:51,060 --> 02:52:53,100
This is from CNN from this morning, I think.

2666
02:52:53,420 --> 02:52:53,940
Is looking for.

2667
02:52:54,020 --> 02:52:54,680
That is my question.

2668
02:52:54,760 --> 02:52:55,340
I'll start with you.

2669
02:52:55,600 --> 02:52:57,020
Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president.

2670
02:52:57,120 --> 02:52:58,840
He's lived up to so many of the promises he's made.

2671
02:52:58,920 --> 02:53:02,040
There's one promise left that he could fulfill being a transitional figure.

2672
02:53:02,200 --> 02:53:04,540
He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days.

2673
02:53:04,980 --> 02:53:06,640
Make Kamala Harris the president of the United States.

2674
02:53:06,860 --> 02:53:11,460
It would absolve him from being able to oversee the January 6th.

2675
02:53:11,480 --> 02:53:12,900
Gosh, we never thought of that, Bill.

2676
02:53:14,740 --> 02:53:25,440
And it would make sure that it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public want to see is a time.

2677
02:53:25,560 --> 02:53:29,200
This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats.

2678
02:53:29,200 --> 02:53:33,260
This is now jumped from an Internet meme to a Sunday morning show.

2679
02:53:33,380 --> 02:53:33,900
Jamal's out here, right?

2680
02:53:34,020 --> 02:53:34,460
Congratulations.

2681
02:53:34,700 --> 02:53:35,380
Season of House of Cards.

2682
02:53:36,820 --> 02:53:37,260
Well.

2683
02:53:41,900 --> 02:53:44,380
It would it would certainly be entertaining.

2684
02:53:45,120 --> 02:53:45,900
It would be.

2685
02:53:45,960 --> 02:53:47,560
I just don't see Biden doing it.

2686
02:53:47,600 --> 02:53:48,420
He's worked enough.

2687
02:53:48,520 --> 02:53:49,940
He wouldn't doesn't want to give her the.

2688
02:53:50,520 --> 02:53:57,680
Because the fact that she jumped on this whole thing the way she did and was partly responsible for stabbing him in the back.

2689
02:53:57,680 --> 02:54:00,300
I think that he wouldn't allow it.

2690
02:54:00,520 --> 02:54:01,280
He just wouldn't do it.

2691
02:54:01,320 --> 02:54:02,640
He's not that now.

2692
02:54:03,040 --> 02:54:05,600
Well, in all of this, the conclusion not Biden.

2693
02:54:05,940 --> 02:54:17,760
No, the conclusion for today is that there seems to be no strategy from the media or their Democrat Party handlers on how to start going after Trump.

2694
02:54:17,860 --> 02:54:18,920
This just seems to be nothing.

2695
02:54:19,000 --> 02:54:20,280
I think I think you're right.

2696
02:54:20,340 --> 02:54:26,580
I think you've come up with one that that needs to be focused on and we'll start to see it'll start to emerge.

2697
02:54:26,580 --> 02:54:27,980
It'll be revealed.

2698
02:54:28,400 --> 02:54:28,860
Which one?

2699
02:54:29,160 --> 02:54:34,120
We start to see repetitive things like we've noticed with like I noticed with the Latin X thing.

2700
02:54:34,240 --> 02:54:37,740
They're trying, you know, to try to get that out of the lexicon of the lexicon.

2701
02:54:37,960 --> 02:54:39,700
So there'll be something we're going to see.

2702
02:54:39,820 --> 02:54:43,620
Each of us are going to see it repeated at least twice or three times.

2703
02:54:43,620 --> 02:54:44,480
And then we're going to both.

2704
02:54:45,100 --> 02:54:51,360
I believe at the same time, identify that what the target is going to the targeting is going to work.

2705
02:54:51,860 --> 02:54:58,370
OK, you said I had identified something already and misunderstood.

2706
02:54:58,730 --> 02:55:01,710
No, no, I said I identified the Latin X thing.

2707
02:55:01,890 --> 02:55:02,130
Oh, yeah.

2708
02:55:02,190 --> 02:55:12,510
Just saying that the two of us working with this in mind that there's a targeting aspect to Trump that we haven't figured out that will it'll start to appear.

2709
02:55:12,530 --> 02:55:17,130
And we'll both I think we'll both spot it around the same time since we're looking for it.

2710
02:55:17,490 --> 02:55:20,510
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.

2711
02:55:20,690 --> 02:55:22,570
Imagine all the people who could do that.

2712
02:55:22,770 --> 02:55:23,790
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

2713
02:55:30,750 --> 02:55:32,710
Oh, there, you know, there you have it.

2714
02:55:32,810 --> 02:55:35,870
We will be on the lookout for, you know, the more you know, the more, you know.

2715
02:55:35,930 --> 02:55:42,490
And of course, the producers out there, you are expected to contribute to this quest as well, because something has got to show up eventually.

2716
02:55:42,670 --> 02:55:46,370
Right now, though, what's showing up is the producers who supported the show financially.

2717
02:55:46,450 --> 02:55:47,390
Fifty dollars and above.

2718
02:55:47,470 --> 02:55:49,210
John is going to thank them right now.

2719
02:55:49,850 --> 02:55:50,090
Yeah.

2720
02:55:50,130 --> 02:55:53,170
Starting with Sir G.K. Gary Casper in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

2721
02:55:53,750 --> 02:55:55,870
One hundred and fifty dollars and forty seven cents.

2722
02:55:56,410 --> 02:55:58,530
And he's put this at the end.

2723
02:55:58,610 --> 02:56:04,550
Some retirement karma for Colonel B.B. Colonel B.B. Switching to B.

One oh five thirty five.

2727
02:56:10,110 --> 02:56:11,930
And he says, excellent show.

2728
02:56:12,350 --> 02:56:13,210
Seventeen ten.

2729
02:56:13,330 --> 02:56:14,150
That was the last show.

2730
02:56:14,270 --> 02:56:14,850
Well, thank you.

2731
02:56:15,810 --> 02:56:17,550
That's the one that pulled them in.

2732
02:56:17,610 --> 02:56:18,230
Pulled them in.

2733
02:56:18,350 --> 02:56:20,130

And it's toward his dad's knighthood.

2736
02:56:26,130 --> 02:56:26,610
Happy birthday.

2737
02:56:26,710 --> 02:56:27,550
He's got a listing there.

2738
02:56:27,730 --> 02:56:29,530

02:56:29,650 --> 02:56:30,470

02:56:34,790 --> 02:56:36,070

A little early there.

2750
02:56:49,350 --> 02:56:51,810
He's not planning on donating for the rest of the year.

2751
02:56:51,990 --> 02:56:52,570
That's obvious.

2752
02:56:53,510 --> 02:56:54,190
Thank you.

2753
02:56:54,330 --> 02:56:54,910

These are all $50 donors that have paid the extra fee.

2780
02:57:43,910 --> 02:57:45,390
Bad Idea Supply.

2781
02:57:45,530 --> 02:57:45,970
Look it up.

2782
02:57:46,030 --> 02:57:46,610
It's on the internet.

2783
02:57:46,750 --> 02:57:48,170
Just search Bad Idea Supply.

2784
02:57:48,310 --> 02:57:49,830
They make all kinds of burning gear.

2785
02:57:50,410 --> 02:57:53,670
Um, which I guess is a bad idea with some people.

2786
02:57:54,310 --> 02:57:55,510
Fifty fifty.

2787
02:57:56,890 --> 02:57:59,770

And the following four lone people are $50 donors.

2790
02:58:05,690 --> 02:58:07,230
And I'll just read their name and location.

2791
02:58:07,790 --> 02:58:09,910
We're starting with William Kidwell in Dover, Delaware.

2792
02:58:10,090 --> 02:58:13,470
William Spain in Springdale, Arkansas.

2793
02:58:14,330 --> 02:58:17,810
Michelle Petty in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

2794
02:58:17,810 --> 02:58:21,610
And Stephen Schumach in Xenia, Ohio.

2795
02:58:21,710 --> 02:58:29,670
And those are our producers and helpers and executive producers and everybody in between that made show 1711 a distinct possibility.

2796
02:58:29,810 --> 02:58:30,610
And here it is.

2797
02:58:31,030 --> 02:58:31,830
That's right.

2798
02:58:32,050 --> 02:58:32,810
This is the show.

2799
02:58:32,910 --> 02:58:36,470
And thank you to those who came in under $50 for reasons of anonymity.

2800
02:58:37,050 --> 02:58:38,410
We never read those.

2801
02:58:38,510 --> 02:58:40,550
And obviously we have our sustaining donors.

2802
02:58:40,870 --> 02:58:43,590
Consider setting up a sustaining donation yourself.

2803
02:58:43,930 --> 02:58:46,410
Go to noagendadonations.com.

2804
02:58:46,410 --> 02:58:48,170
Any amount, any frequency.

2805
02:58:48,350 --> 02:58:50,230
It is all highly appreciated.

2806
02:58:50,710 --> 02:58:51,190
We love it.

2807
02:58:51,270 --> 02:58:52,790
The value for value model lives on.

2808
02:58:52,870 --> 02:58:53,750
You keep it going on.

2809
02:58:53,830 --> 02:58:56,030
Here's some goat karma for those who need it.

2810
02:58:58,290 --> 02:59:01,210
Once again, noagendadonations.com.

2811
02:59:07,070 --> 02:59:11,290
We actually have a few entries in all categories today, including our birthday.

2812
02:59:11,510 --> 02:59:13,710
Sarah Gardner, which is her husband, Tom Gardner.

2813
02:59:13,830 --> 02:59:14,670
Very happy birthday.

2814
02:59:14,770 --> 02:59:16,030
He is celebrating today.

2815
02:59:16,030 --> 02:59:19,670
Annabelle Welch, happy birthday to grandpa turning 90.

2816
02:59:19,770 --> 02:59:20,810
Happy birthday, grandpa.

2817
02:59:21,190 --> 02:59:25,410
And Carl from London says happy birthday to his dad, Jeff of Scotts Valley.

2818
02:59:25,770 --> 02:59:26,610
And that's our list.

2819
02:59:26,690 --> 02:59:27,950
Happy birthday from everybody here.

2820
02:59:28,010 --> 02:59:29,830
The best podcast in the universe.

2821
02:59:31,550 --> 02:59:33,150
Now, actually, I was incorrect.

2822
02:59:33,230 --> 02:59:37,150
We don't have any titles, but we do have a number of doctors of education.

2823
02:59:37,330 --> 02:59:47,650
So I'm going to congratulate our new graduates, Michael McClellan, Stuart Walton, and Thomas Nussbaum.

2824
02:59:47,710 --> 02:59:51,850
All of you now have received doctorates in science.

2825
02:59:52,490 --> 02:59:59,910
This is for media deconstruction of climate change studies or something like that.

2826
03:00:00,190 --> 03:00:01,430
Congratulations all.

2827
03:00:03,050 --> 03:00:04,590
Doctor of education.

2828
03:00:04,910 --> 03:00:05,950
Doctor of education.

2829
03:00:06,390 --> 03:00:07,030
That's right.

2830
03:00:07,290 --> 03:00:09,310
In climate change studies.

2831
03:00:10,530 --> 03:00:12,570
I was too confused by the music.

2832
03:00:12,730 --> 03:00:14,150
The band was just killing me.

2833
03:00:15,290 --> 03:00:17,930
We also have two Commodores we'd like to welcome.

2834
03:00:18,530 --> 03:00:19,350
Our Commodores.

2835
03:00:19,790 --> 03:00:22,290
This is the final Commodores of the entire list.

2836
03:00:22,790 --> 03:00:24,650
Then we have just under the wire.

2837
03:00:30,010 --> 03:00:34,450
Commodore Tom Gardner and Commodore Thomas Nussbaum arriving.

2838
03:00:35,910 --> 03:00:37,070
Wow, man.

2839
03:00:37,390 --> 03:00:38,170
What a show.

2840
03:00:38,390 --> 03:00:39,370
What a show, John.

2841
03:00:39,430 --> 03:00:40,970
I can't believe all these titles.

2842
03:00:41,090 --> 03:00:42,170
Everything just flying out.

2843
03:00:42,270 --> 03:00:44,570
And on top of all that, we've got two knights.

2844
03:00:45,130 --> 03:00:47,230
So let's bring them up to the round on the pedestal.

2845
03:00:47,230 --> 03:00:47,750
Beautiful.

2846
03:00:49,310 --> 03:00:51,070
There he is, Michael McClellan.

2847
03:00:51,210 --> 03:00:52,610
Once again in anonymous.

2848
03:00:52,830 --> 03:00:56,270
Both of you supported the NOAA gymnast show in the amount of $1,000 or more.

2849
03:00:56,490 --> 03:00:58,790
Therefore, you're here at the round table.

2850
03:00:58,950 --> 03:01:02,890
I'm very proud to pronounce the KD as Sir Michael Knight of the Northern Mitten.

2851
03:01:03,410 --> 03:01:05,910
And Sir Dizzy Top of the Dusty Hills.

2852
03:01:06,050 --> 03:01:08,130
For you gentlemen, no special requests, of course.

2853
03:01:08,470 --> 03:01:09,350
We have hookers and blow.

2854
03:01:09,470 --> 03:01:12,290
We've got cigars and prostitutes, lint boys and chardonnay.

2855
03:01:12,750 --> 03:01:15,590
We have harlots and haldol, pepperoni rolls and pale ales.

2856
03:01:15,650 --> 03:01:16,970
We've got redheads and rise.

2857
03:01:16,970 --> 03:01:18,230
We've got beers and blunts.

2858
03:01:18,590 --> 03:01:20,610
Brazilian hotties and cachaça.

2859
03:01:20,870 --> 03:01:22,510
How about some vodka, nudity, vanilla?

2860
03:01:22,750 --> 03:01:24,930
Bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts.

2861
03:01:25,090 --> 03:01:26,290
Ginger ale and gerbils.

2862
03:01:26,750 --> 03:01:28,450
Best known to Pabloman as always.

2863
03:01:28,630 --> 03:01:30,010
There's the mutton and the mead.

2864
03:01:30,510 --> 03:01:33,950
Everybody who we've mentioned today can go to noagendarings.com.

2865
03:01:34,010 --> 03:01:43,330
That's where you can give us the information for your Commodore documentation or for your doctor of education in climate change science.

2866
03:01:43,890 --> 03:01:45,970
Climate change studies, I should say.

2867
03:01:46,650 --> 03:01:47,490
noagendarings.com.

2868
03:01:47,570 --> 03:01:50,190
And of course, our two brand new knights can go there as well.

2869
03:01:50,650 --> 03:01:51,790
And take a look at that.

2870
03:01:51,870 --> 03:01:54,310
A very, very handsome no agenda night ring.

2871
03:01:54,370 --> 03:01:55,130
It's a signet ring.

2872
03:01:55,230 --> 03:01:58,790
That means you get some wax with it to seal your important correspondence with.

2873
03:01:59,270 --> 03:02:02,690
And in addition to that, a certificate of authenticity.

2874
03:02:02,970 --> 03:02:05,810
And welcome and thank you all for supporting the No Agenda Show.

2875
03:02:05,810 --> 03:02:09,310
No Agenda Meetups.

2876
03:02:14,570 --> 03:02:19,130
The first responders of No Agenda Nation are the people you meet at these No Agenda Meetups.

2877
03:02:19,250 --> 03:02:20,350
This is where you get connection.

2878
03:02:20,850 --> 03:02:22,530
It is a big part of your protection.

2879
03:02:22,710 --> 03:02:26,250
You need to go to one of these and you could always try sending us a report.

2880
03:02:26,750 --> 03:02:27,650
We love playing them.

2881
03:02:27,770 --> 03:02:29,250
Fort Wayne, Indiana had a meetup.

2882
03:02:29,490 --> 03:02:31,210
Adam and John, this is Shannon in Fort Wayne.

2883
03:02:31,350 --> 03:02:35,430
We had a good turn up and instead of investing with Wall Street, try Zelinski.

2884
03:02:35,590 --> 03:02:37,990
You get about 3% return a month, about 33% a year.

2885
03:02:38,430 --> 03:02:41,290
Good morning, John and Adam, Sir PBR Street Gang.

2886
03:02:41,410 --> 03:02:45,970
We are celebrating the 35th anniversary of the wall coming down in Berlin.

2887
03:02:46,610 --> 03:02:48,630
Dame Trinity having a great time in Fort Wayne.

2888
03:02:48,730 --> 03:02:49,490
Thank you for your courage.

2889
03:02:49,930 --> 03:02:51,070
Oh, this is awesome, guys.

2890
03:02:51,190 --> 03:02:52,470
This will be a really good report.

2891
03:02:52,710 --> 03:02:53,490
Way to go.

2892
03:02:55,490 --> 03:02:57,110
Okay, way to end your report.

2893
03:02:57,230 --> 03:02:57,570
Beautiful.

2894
03:02:58,090 --> 03:03:00,670
There's a meetup going on right now in Glendale, Arizona.

2895
03:03:00,790 --> 03:03:06,650
The Westgate Chicken and Pickle is where you can meet everybody for the West Valley Entomophagy Association.

2896
03:03:06,890 --> 03:03:08,530
That is underway now as we speak.

2897
03:03:08,970 --> 03:03:18,030
Also, Longview's mid-month monthly meetup, the election hangover edition, just starting up, yeah, in about 20 minutes at Rotolo's Pizzeria in Longview, Texas.

2898
03:03:18,490 --> 03:03:19,850
Dirty Jersey Whore is hosting that.

2899
03:03:19,910 --> 03:03:20,950
You got to meet him and his wife.

2900
03:03:21,650 --> 03:03:28,430
On Monday, the Springfield Mo Mo Mo meetup, six o'clock at Blair's All-American Sports Bar and Grill, Springfield, Missouri.

2901
03:03:28,830 --> 03:03:36,810
And on Thursday, our next show day, that'll be the 14th, the Central Ohio election hangover meetup, six o'clock at O'Malley's Pub, Palmer Lake, Colorado.

2902
03:03:37,050 --> 03:03:42,970
Man, there's a lot on the list to come in the next month, all the way through December into January.

2903
03:03:43,690 --> 03:03:46,430
I suggest you go take a look at noagendameetups.com.

2904
03:03:46,530 --> 03:03:49,710
That's where you can select by location or just look at the entire list.

2905
03:03:49,770 --> 03:03:50,950
You might even want to travel there.

2906
03:03:51,050 --> 03:03:56,250
And the cool thing is, if there's not one near you, if you've never been to a meetup, you can start one yourself.

2907
03:03:56,310 --> 03:03:57,070
It's really easy.

2908
03:03:57,070 --> 03:03:58,530
noagendameetups.com.

2909
03:03:59,030 --> 03:04:00,670
Always guaranteed a party.

2910
03:04:01,510 --> 03:04:06,690
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

2911
03:04:07,990 --> 03:04:12,410
You want to be where you won't be, triggered or held to blame.

2912
03:04:13,150 --> 03:04:17,190
You want to be where everybody feels the same.

2913
03:04:18,570 --> 03:04:20,150
It's like a party.

2914
03:04:21,190 --> 03:04:24,050
Yeah, we got a lot to come still.

2915
03:04:24,050 --> 03:04:26,810
We have our end of show mixes.

2916
03:04:27,510 --> 03:04:30,510
And we're very excited, as always, about a new tip of the day from John.

2917
03:04:31,110 --> 03:04:33,690
But first we need to determine what we're going to play at the very end of the show.

2918
03:04:33,850 --> 03:04:35,390
This is our ISO moment.

2919
03:04:36,270 --> 03:04:38,590
I have three and it appears you have three.

2920
03:04:38,870 --> 03:04:39,830
Would you like to go first?

2921
03:04:40,530 --> 03:04:41,550
I should have four.

2922
03:04:42,030 --> 03:04:43,050
One, two.

2923
03:04:43,290 --> 03:04:44,190
Oh, you do have four.

2924
03:04:44,250 --> 03:04:44,550
I'm sorry.

2925
03:04:44,670 --> 03:04:45,370
Yes, you have four.

2926
03:04:47,090 --> 03:04:47,950
Would you like to play your three?

2927
03:04:48,590 --> 03:04:48,930
No.

2928
03:04:49,170 --> 03:04:51,530
Okay, well, it's fine, but...

2929
03:04:51,530 --> 03:04:52,330
No, I don't know.

2930
03:04:52,370 --> 03:04:53,290
How did that get in there?

2931
03:04:53,290 --> 03:04:53,850
That's no good.

2932
03:04:54,310 --> 03:04:54,910
Hold on.

2933
03:04:55,150 --> 03:04:56,110
This is one that's good.

2934
03:04:56,290 --> 03:04:57,130
I want more money.

2935
03:04:59,870 --> 03:05:02,330
Okay, and my final offering.

2936
03:05:02,670 --> 03:05:04,190
The power of the podcast.

2937
03:05:04,550 --> 03:05:05,410
There you go.

2938
03:05:05,710 --> 03:05:08,030
If it wasn't so muddy, it'd be good.

2939
03:05:08,150 --> 03:05:09,490
Yeah, that's what it is.

2940
03:05:09,570 --> 03:05:10,490
Okay, well, I got some muddy.

2941
03:05:10,610 --> 03:05:11,090
I got some good.

2942
03:05:11,210 --> 03:05:13,970
I brought back the oy vey, but let's start with full self.

2943
03:05:14,210 --> 03:05:15,150
Full self.

2944
03:05:15,350 --> 03:05:16,870
I'm my full self.

2945
03:05:20,030 --> 03:05:22,350
Okay, we have the oy vey rerun.

2946
03:05:22,350 --> 03:05:25,170
Oy vey, such a podcast.

2947
03:05:25,530 --> 03:05:27,370
Yeah, that's pretty good.

2948
03:05:28,330 --> 03:05:29,430
Then we have thanks.

2949
03:05:29,570 --> 03:05:30,310
Thanks so much.

2950
03:05:32,850 --> 03:05:35,010
And then we have yuppers.

2951
03:05:35,370 --> 03:05:36,810
Yup, yuppers and fabulous.

2952
03:05:37,290 --> 03:05:39,150
I like that one the best, honestly.

2953
03:05:39,970 --> 03:05:40,790
Okay, well...

2954
03:05:40,790 --> 03:05:41,750
Yup, yuppers, fabulous.

2955
03:05:41,930 --> 03:05:42,270
Come on.

2956
03:05:42,330 --> 03:05:43,750
That's exactly what our show is.

2957
03:05:43,830 --> 03:05:44,890
Yup, yuppers and fabulous.

2958
03:05:45,150 --> 03:05:45,490
It's good.

2959
03:05:45,610 --> 03:05:45,970
That's right.

2960
03:05:46,290 --> 03:05:47,970
To prove it, here it is.

2961
03:05:48,030 --> 03:05:49,650
Once again, our favorite moment of the show.

2962
03:05:49,650 --> 03:05:50,910
John C for the day.

2963
03:06:00,290 --> 03:06:13,650
All right, so this one is actually another Mimi tip, although it's a tip I asked her to give me because of these products that she uses, these reusable food storage bags.

2964
03:06:14,670 --> 03:06:17,330
Sounds like, yeah, well, how's that interesting?

2965
03:06:17,810 --> 03:06:18,890
Yeah, how's that interesting?

2966
03:06:18,890 --> 03:06:20,410
Reusable food storage bags.

2967
03:06:20,410 --> 03:06:21,370
Well, these are pretty cool.

2968
03:06:21,550 --> 03:06:30,790
They're like made, they're not, they're not just like, you know, a glad bag that's like super thick, made out of silicones, got no dangerous chemicals in it.

2969
03:06:31,190 --> 03:06:34,590
And, but they have a Ziploc thing that's huge.

2970
03:06:35,030 --> 03:06:36,990
And they're dishwasher safe.

2971
03:06:37,110 --> 03:06:40,310
And they're like a substitute for a lot of other kinds of uses.

2972
03:06:40,610 --> 03:06:42,150
And I'm going to read from her note.

2973
03:06:43,170 --> 03:06:45,070
IdeaTek is one of the brands you look for.

2974
03:06:45,950 --> 03:06:47,870
Larine is another brand you look for.

2975
03:06:47,870 --> 03:06:49,490
And she says, I'm trying a couple of brands.

2976
03:06:49,590 --> 03:06:51,670
There are a lot of brands of all about the same price.

2977
03:06:52,110 --> 03:06:53,790
The cost, you know, they're not cheap.

2978
03:06:54,390 --> 03:06:57,310
A few different styles, silicon reusable food storage bag.

2979
03:06:57,450 --> 03:06:58,450
That's the key words.

2980
03:06:58,610 --> 03:07:00,930
Silicon reusable food storage bags.

2981
03:07:02,290 --> 03:07:03,510
The idea is great.

2982
03:07:03,590 --> 03:07:05,430
Thick silicon bags that you can reuse.

2983
03:07:05,570 --> 03:07:06,370
They never leak.

2984
03:07:06,650 --> 03:07:08,130
You can wash them in a dishwasher.

2985
03:07:08,690 --> 03:07:11,770
And instead of using disposable bags, it cuts down on waste.

2986
03:07:12,070 --> 03:07:13,710
For all you out there that are green.

2987
03:07:14,510 --> 03:07:18,870
I've had my first set of trial Larines for about four months.

2988
03:07:19,010 --> 03:07:20,690
I have washed them dozens of times.

2989
03:07:20,810 --> 03:07:22,790
Absolutely no difference between new and used.

2990
03:07:23,350 --> 03:07:24,870
The second set, first listed.

2991
03:07:25,090 --> 03:07:28,130
IdeaTek have more rounded corners, so they don't quite hold as much.

2992
03:07:28,170 --> 03:07:29,190
But they're easier to clean.

2993
03:07:29,530 --> 03:07:30,770
I also bought an assortment.

2994
03:07:30,850 --> 03:07:34,190
They freeze well and don't get weird after being frozen.

2995
03:07:34,630 --> 03:07:39,210
The only drawback that I see for extended storage is a label would be a good idea.

2996
03:07:39,310 --> 03:07:41,970
Because it gives you right on them, you know, with a Sharpie.

2997
03:07:42,070 --> 03:07:42,930
It's going to be there forever.

2998
03:07:42,930 --> 03:07:44,450
You're going to have these bags for years.

2999
03:07:44,570 --> 03:07:50,670
So it's a product that is a clear winner for the environmentally conscience.

3000
03:07:52,110 --> 03:07:55,490
Tina has these.

3001
03:07:55,690 --> 03:07:56,410
She has these.

3002
03:07:56,750 --> 03:07:57,590
She does?

3003
03:07:57,770 --> 03:07:58,590
Yes, she does.

3004
03:07:58,810 --> 03:08:01,230
I don't know which brand, but she does have them.

3005
03:08:02,210 --> 03:08:04,070
I'm a personally, I'm a Ziploc guy.

3006
03:08:04,130 --> 03:08:05,050
I grew up with Ziploc.

3007
03:08:05,150 --> 03:08:06,030
I stick to Ziploc.

3008
03:08:06,170 --> 03:08:08,170
I'm a brand loyal to Ziploc.

3009
03:08:09,410 --> 03:08:11,390
It's like, no, I know, I know.

3010
03:08:11,390 --> 03:08:13,110
But I like throwing it out afterwards.

3011
03:08:13,650 --> 03:08:15,270
OK, you're a wasteful type.

3012
03:08:15,410 --> 03:08:17,870
Yes, I like kind of on your side.

3013
03:08:18,090 --> 03:08:20,030
Yes, I like throwing out my bags.

3014
03:08:20,170 --> 03:08:20,990
Thank you very much.

3015
03:08:22,190 --> 03:08:24,270
Tipoftheday.net for John's tip of the day.

3016
03:08:33,190 --> 03:08:36,190
And find them also at noagendafund.com.

3017
03:08:36,290 --> 03:08:39,150
And there's a lot more stuff on noagendafund.com.

3018
03:08:39,990 --> 03:08:40,910
All right, everybody.

3019
03:08:40,910 --> 03:08:41,930
On the lookout now.

3020
03:08:42,030 --> 03:08:45,990
How are they going to try and thwart the presidency of Donald Trump?

3021
03:08:47,610 --> 03:08:48,570
Let us know.

3022
03:08:48,690 --> 03:08:49,290
Email us.

3023
03:08:49,610 --> 03:08:50,710
Just, I mean, just email me.

3024
03:08:50,950 --> 03:08:52,890
You can't spell Dvorak, so it's easier.

3025
03:08:54,050 --> 03:08:55,090
We all know it.

3026
03:08:55,330 --> 03:08:55,870
You all know it.

3027
03:08:55,950 --> 03:08:56,810
Email me too.

3028
03:08:57,110 --> 03:08:57,210
Bye.

3029
03:08:58,230 --> 03:09:02,150
We have a classic Kermit end of show mix.

3030
03:09:02,250 --> 03:09:06,530
We also have Dee's Laughs and David Kecta.

3031
03:09:06,730 --> 03:09:09,610
All checking in with our No Agenda end of show mixes.

3032
03:09:10,170 --> 03:09:13,370
We appreciate your time and talent as always.

3033
03:09:14,170 --> 03:09:16,370
And if you don't mind, come on back on Thursday.

3034
03:09:16,550 --> 03:09:17,970
Whatever is going on in the world.

3035
03:09:18,130 --> 03:09:21,610
And I guarantee you there will be something to look at and to deconstruct.

3036
03:09:21,690 --> 03:09:23,830
We'll be all over it as usual.

3037
03:09:24,270 --> 03:09:25,290
At your service.

3038
03:09:26,570 --> 03:09:31,490
Up next on noagendastream.com and on your modern podcast apps.

3039
03:09:31,710 --> 03:09:33,090
Just two good old boys.

3040
03:09:33,210 --> 03:09:36,450
Hey, that's Sir Gene is on that show.

3041
03:09:37,230 --> 03:09:38,370
It's always fun to listen to.

3042
03:09:39,090 --> 03:09:42,870
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg, Texas.

3043
03:09:42,970 --> 03:09:43,910
In the morning, everybody.

3044
03:09:44,370 --> 03:09:45,050
I'm Adam Curry.

3045
03:09:45,330 --> 03:09:51,170
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm saying rebuke, rebuke the masked singer.

3046
03:09:51,430 --> 03:09:51,890
I'm John C.

3047
03:09:51,950 --> 03:09:52,250
Dvorak.

3048
03:09:52,350 --> 03:09:54,630
We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda.

3049
03:09:54,770 --> 03:09:57,870
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

3050
03:09:58,010 --> 03:10:00,110
Adios, mofos, hui hui, and such.

3051
03:10:23,730 --> 03:10:28,930
So many dudes think that this is just fake news.

3052
03:10:29,510 --> 03:10:32,390
I know they're wrong, wait and see.

3053
03:10:34,250 --> 03:10:38,150
Someday we'll find it, the Russia connection.

3054
03:10:38,890 --> 03:10:42,790
The Donald, the Putin, and D-line.

3055
03:10:52,650 --> 03:10:55,890
The many faces of the VP debate.

3056
03:10:56,150 --> 03:10:58,130
JD Vance was too agreeable.

3057
03:10:58,270 --> 03:10:59,970
Should have said you effed up your state.

3058
03:11:00,530 --> 03:11:02,190
Tim Walz's mean, mean face.

3059
03:11:02,270 --> 03:11:03,890
He's got those bug-open eyes.

3060
03:11:03,990 --> 03:11:07,610
If rallies between two candidates matter, Trump has all the size.

3061
03:11:08,230 --> 03:11:10,510
Him saying he was friends with some school shooter.

3062
03:11:10,650 --> 03:11:12,350
Saying it a second time.

3063
03:11:12,610 --> 03:11:14,470
Made tampon Tim look like a doofus.

3064
03:11:14,550 --> 03:11:17,450
Shown ironically as a dude with body positivity.

3065
03:11:17,810 --> 03:11:21,310
His wife's turning pages and crazy high fives are weird to see.

3066
03:11:21,570 --> 03:11:24,270
What do you think will be the October surprise?

3067
03:11:24,330 --> 03:11:26,570
From the Brad Summer to Demir Hall.

3068
03:11:26,990 --> 03:11:28,890
I do believe I despise.

3069
03:11:28,890 --> 03:11:31,370
Maybe SNL being funny again.

3070
03:11:31,730 --> 03:11:34,710
At least they nailed Kamala with that whole wine drum connection.

3071
03:11:35,330 --> 03:11:38,470
Hard to watch programming with celebrities spouting lies.

3072
03:11:38,570 --> 03:11:41,930
Houses built on money from the powers be is what I despise.

3073
03:11:42,010 --> 03:11:43,170
Start speaking facts.

3074
03:11:43,330 --> 03:11:44,510
Work out to your max.

3075
03:11:44,670 --> 03:11:45,750
Quit paying tax.

3076
03:11:45,890 --> 03:11:47,150
Stop faking the jacks.

3077
03:11:47,210 --> 03:11:49,770
Stop counting racks and being so lax.

3078
03:11:50,030 --> 03:11:51,410
Eat more healthy snacks.

3079
03:11:52,350 --> 03:11:55,530
Whatever you do, seal up your personal cracks.

3080
03:11:55,710 --> 03:11:57,290
Hey, fact shedding was facts.

3081
03:11:57,390 --> 03:11:58,450
Stop getting vaxxed.

3082
03:11:58,450 --> 03:11:59,850
Cosplaying with masks.

3083
03:12:00,170 --> 03:12:02,190
It's no sweat off my balls.

3084
03:12:02,410 --> 03:12:05,390
Younger people having more strokes and heart attacks.

3085
03:12:05,770 --> 03:12:09,150
Recovering from long COVID and covering for masking packs.

3086
03:12:09,310 --> 03:12:10,210
Injury tracks.

3087
03:12:10,650 --> 03:12:12,750
Watch out for these new election hacks.

3088
03:12:13,270 --> 03:12:16,770
Toronto Dominion machines notoriously leaking hacks.

3089
03:12:17,090 --> 03:12:20,130
October surprise every four years around this time.

3090
03:12:20,630 --> 03:12:21,970
Hoping change was a wait.

3091
03:12:22,410 --> 03:12:24,170
2024 it's a vibe.

3092
03:12:24,350 --> 03:12:26,990
But maybe SNL being funny again.

3093
03:12:26,990 --> 03:12:30,390
At least they nailed Kamala with that whole wine drum connection.

3094
03:12:30,690 --> 03:12:33,090
We're in this new attention economy.

3095
03:12:33,470 --> 03:12:36,410
Ads are running non-stop and getting mentioned on socials.

3096
03:12:36,570 --> 03:12:37,430
The new currency.

3097
03:12:37,670 --> 03:12:40,890
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.

3098
03:12:41,530 --> 03:12:41,870
You know?

3099
03:12:45,430 --> 03:12:51,150
Here in Maricopa County and in Arizona in general, we have very close races.

3100
03:12:51,610 --> 03:12:56,030
We're sort of closely divided between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.

3101
03:12:56,030 --> 03:13:02,690
So that means these big races like for President, US Senate, Governor, things like that, typically would be very close in the networks.

3102
03:13:02,810 --> 03:13:05,110
And we're not in a position to call them on election night.

3103
03:13:05,310 --> 03:13:05,890
But you're right.

3104
03:13:06,010 --> 03:13:09,870
10 to 13 days is what it has taken now on average for decades.

3105
03:13:10,650 --> 03:13:13,890
How badly did Democrats lose to Trump, James?

3106
03:13:14,490 --> 03:13:18,130
Some stats to just illustrate how significant this was.

3107
03:13:18,550 --> 03:13:24,310
This is the biggest shift rightward from one election to the next since Ronald Reagan's victory in 1980.

3108
03:13:24,310 --> 03:13:27,530
Donald Trump's on track right now to get 312 electoral votes.

3109
03:13:27,610 --> 03:13:29,610
That's the most of any Republican since 1988.

3110
03:13:30,230 --> 03:13:34,610
Donald Trump is on track right now to win the popular vote, the first Republican to do so since George W.

3111
03:13:34,690 --> 03:13:34,870
Bush.

3112
03:13:34,990 --> 03:13:35,850
That's something he's never done.

3113
03:13:36,430 --> 03:13:38,070
She did not do either time.

3114
03:13:38,710 --> 03:13:45,650
And he's going to become the first ex-president since Grover Cleveland won in 1892 to take back the job.

3115
03:13:45,770 --> 03:13:53,030
So Kamala Harris is going to end up getting more than 10 million fewer votes in 2024 than Joe Biden got in 2020.

3116
03:13:53,030 --> 03:13:54,350
It really is.

3117
03:14:06,930 --> 03:14:10,390
Yep, yuppers and fabulous.
