Starting point is 00:00:00 Wow. Wow. Wow. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, August 3rd, 2023. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation media assassination episode 1578. This is no agenda. Jugging the trend and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. country here in female region number six in the morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern
Starting point is 00:00:25 silicon valley where lizzo proves the adage fat people aren't jolly i'm johnson deborah and he kicks it off with some real news that's fantastic i i can't believe it but i have a clip and now back to real news and not just any clip from the bbc well the bbc's culture reporter daniel rosny uh joins us live now thanks for coming in daniel um tell us a bit more about these allegations because they do seem really quite serious well i, I've got the complaint in front of me, and it's 45 pages is the document, which was filed in Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Now, these claims are long, and the legal action includes accusations of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment. Is that what you mean by not jolly? That's quite a list. Some of the claims are against a production company rather than Lizzo herself.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Allegations, though, include one of the dancers, Ariana Davis, saying that earlier this year, Lizzo had organized a night out for the dancers in a strip club in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. And she felt pressured into touching a naked performer in a strip club because Lizzo was leading chants of her name until she did so. Holy heck. A little sweetened there. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Lizzo, big lawsuit. Woo, bad. Lizzo, bad. That's what you were. Those girls, the three of those dancers, the backup singers or whatever they are, were on. What's his name, that guy who went to News Nation, Cuomo. Oh, really? And you were watching this?
Starting point is 00:02:15 For what reason? It was just on this morning. I was just getting ready for the show, and I turned on the TV, and there they were. Uh-huh, yeah. So I wasn't seeking it. Yeah. But the one girl, she was very upset because Lizzo was you know was cussing her out
Starting point is 00:02:28 and was going to punch her out because she said anything I believe this is all to be quite true because it's very it's not unusual for somebody that's like so held up to such a high
Starting point is 00:02:44 esteem in this weird circumstance to be kind of a creep that's too bad because i i recall lizzo on that letterman show that he did uh you know the was on netflix i think and it was and she was really sweet and talented and playing the flute you know and the flute stuff and that that kept her grounded i think and playing the flute. You know, the flute stuff, that kept her grounded. I think she dropped the flute stuff and that changed her life. Anyway, it's a show day. Weird
Starting point is 00:03:14 things are happening. Your boy, your boy Brooks, David Brooks, wrote quite the opinion piece in the New York Times. Oh, did he now? Yes. What if we're the bad guys here?
Starting point is 00:03:34 And he goes into this whole thing, which is really quite fascinating, which is not just fascinating, but self-aware. We anti-Trumpers often tell a story to explain how bad he is. And he says, let me try another story with you. I'll ask you to try on a vantage point in which we anti-Trumpers are not the eternal good guys. In fact, we're the bad guys. And then he talks about how the elites in the 60s and 70s sent all the working class kids to Vietnam while everyone else got exemptions to go to college. Then the educated class just created this meritocracy trap where
Starting point is 00:04:16 only the rich could really get into all the cool gigs, which is completely true. Takes it all the way through to Barack Obama using the word smart in the context of his policies over 900 times implying that anybody who disagreed with his policies was dumb and stupid then he i mean he just keeps on going and it's it's really amazing how self-aware he he appears to be um with a crescendo let me see the crescendo here, armed with all kinds of economic, cultural, and political power, we support policies that help ourselves.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Free trade makes the products we buy cheaper and our jobs are unlikely to be moved to China. Open immigration makes our service staff cheaper, but new, less educated immigrants aren't likely to put downward pressure on our wages. Like all elites, we use language and more, and Morris, Morris, Morris, But new, less educated immigrants aren't likely to put downward pressure on our wages. Like all elites, we use language and mores as tools to recognize one another and exclude others. Using words like problematic, cisgender, Latinx, and intersexual.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Problematic, our favorite. It's a sure sign that you've got cultural capital coming out of your ears. Meanwhile, members of the less educated classes have to walk on eggshells because they never know when we've changed the rules so that something that was sayable five years ago now gets you fired. I mean, it was great, of course, until the end. Oh. Yeah, you know. Of course, we condemn the Trumpian populace all day until the cows come home. And the real question is, when will we stop behaving in ways to make Trumpism inevitable?
Starting point is 00:05:53 It's it's it's a fascinating piece. He completely nails it. He within, you know, like like 800 words, nails the problem with the divide between the elites and the working class or what's left of the middle class in America. But Trump. But he says, it's our fault. It's our fault that Trump is here because we're douchebags. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And then Trump wrote an opinion piece in Newsweek. When's the last time you saw that? When was the last time I saw Newsweek? The world is upside down. And he writes, the real victim of the Russiagate hoax wasn't me, it was the American people.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it's fascinating to watch what this latest indictment or slew of indictments has done and i see that you've prepared for it so i will just play a backgrounder clip and i'll give the floor to you so we can get this out of the way right away less than 24 hours from now and for the third time in under four months former president donald trump will appear in court as a criminal defendant this for his
Starting point is 00:07:01 arraignment in washington on federal charges related to his alleged actions to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The grand jury indictment handed up late yesterday, alleging the ex-president's actions amounted to a conspiracy to defraud the United States to obstruct and impede the January 6th congressional proceedings where the votes were tallied and certified and a conspiracy against the right to vote all of it according to special counsel jack smith built on destabilizing lies about election fraud tonight we are learning more about six unindicted and unnamed co-conspirators in the case and mr trump denying any wrongdoing yeah okay this is this is is it fun that his name is jack smith is aren't all the
Starting point is 00:07:50 agents in the matrix called agent smith yeah doesn't it just kind of remind you of that guy all right yeah he's creepy yeah all right john you i so i have i have a series of clips in this you might as well play it now. Oops. Yeah. Here we go. Morning. Amy Goodman clip inbound. Okay. So I could, you know, you can play the Fox stuff or you can play the MSNBC stuff and you get just kind of these two, the polarized opinions.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It's either it's completely, it's a nothing burger or he's going down. He's going down. It's either it's completely, it's a nothing burger or he's going down. Finally, he's going down. It's quite funny. So I decided, hell with that. Let's go to Amy. I could also go into the middle and get NTD material. But no, let's go to Democracy Now. And let's listen because she had a guest, a couple of guests.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Because of her dynamic cadence, right? So she had a couple of guests on. But let's go with her overview. This is the Trump indictment overview. For the first time in U.S. history, a former president has been criminally charged with conspiring to overturn an election. On Tuesday, Donald Trump was indicted on four counts. Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, tampering with a witness, and conspiracy against
Starting point is 00:09:11 the civil rights of citizens, the right of their vote to be counted. The indictment centers on Trump's efforts to stay in office after Joe Biden defeated him in November 2020. Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 race, now faces two federal indictments as well as a state indictment, a criminal case in New York. No other U.S. president has ever been indicted before. Number one. Trump also faces a possible fourth indictment in Georgia for election interference.
Starting point is 00:09:41 This is Special Counsel Jack Smith speaking Tuesday. The attack on our nation's capital on January 6th, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. As described in the indictment, it was fueled by lies, lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government, the nation's process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election. Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, decried the indictment as a, quote, attack on free speech and political advocacy.
Starting point is 00:10:18 The 45-page indictment also references six unnamed co-conspirators. It's believed the list includes four of Trump's lawyers, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Cheesebrough, as well as Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official. Trump's trial has been assigned to District Judge Tanya Chutkin. She's an Obama appointee who's already overseen numerous cases linked to the January 6th insurrection, often sentencing defendants to longer terms than the prosecutors sought. Just a couple of comments before you continue with your presentation. I was I was out in Austin. Also, I've been monitoring what's going on on X, X.com.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Hey, is Twitter ruined if it's now X.com? I mean, don't I get a point for that? Anyway. So so you're telling me you can go to X.com. I still go to Twitter.com. Yeah, but you go to x.com. I mean, don't I get a point for that? Anyway. So you're telling me you can go to x.com? I still go to twitter.com. Yeah, but you go to x.com, it goes to twitter.com. It's only a matter of time. Does it say twitter.com at the top?
Starting point is 00:11:13 No, it says x. Well, they make up their minds. Anyway, so here's, it's interesting. I'm hearing, it's very similar to the very fine people thing. So because of the consistent and endless playing of the clip, go out and fight, fight like hell, which is actually followed by make your voices heard, make them loud. So that's just fallen off the radar.
Starting point is 00:11:37 So I'm hearing... No, peacefully, the word peacefully. Peacefully. Thank you. And so I'm hearing people not having that context and like, well, he did incite it. I mean, he told him to go fight. So that's one.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Another interesting, I'm seeing some otherwise. Where was this that you're hearing this? Oh, out and about, you know, the hairdresser in Austin, you know. In Fredericksburg? No, no, in Austin. I said I went to Austin. Oh, you're in Austin. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I had coffee with a former New York banker. How far is it from Fredericksburg to Austin? If you're going to South Austin, about an hour and 20 minutes. If you're going anywhere else. How many miles? 70. Yeah. So I also had coffee with a former New York banker.
Starting point is 00:12:17 So I have some reports from that. And I hear, I listen. I listen to what people are saying. Otherwise, very sane people i'm seeing online uh very mad at joe rogan for joe rogan saying it's obvious that there were federal agents in the january 6th crowd for him stating the obvious about the obvious yes yes it's a very big problem for joe oh poor joe um and and and i would just say that it seems like this just and then i'll let you go it seems like this entire script um is to get everyone maga very angry and start
Starting point is 00:12:58 inciting violence anywhere just any kind of violence, please. So that then they can be branded as terrorists and locked up. I mean, I don't see any other. I just don't see any other reason for doing this. Because it is. They're not going to get very far. No. It is very flimsy, I would say. Flimsy.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah. I would think. Even Megyn Kelly. Megyn Kelly apparently is saying, oh saying oh no he's going to jail for the for the georgia stuff and the georgia stuff is where he said i need you to find 11 000 votes you know whatever the exact number was uh i don't know man i've done business in america for many years and certainly in new york and I've heard these types of things, like you got to go find that because you,
Starting point is 00:13:47 and that really means it's there. And you, you, you, I know what it means. Everyone in their right mind knows what it means. And it's not uncommon. Well,
Starting point is 00:13:55 I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure the new generation understands these terms, you know, and the context of them, but okay. Well, there's actually, that's nice that you brought that up because they do have some some of these upcoming clips have okay lead right into that
Starting point is 00:14:09 sort of thinking beautiful beautiful all right so what do we do now she brings these two stooges on one guy from public citizen stooges and this other guy what i'm laughing at stooges like really amy goodman had stooges on the show yeah and and it was unbalanced as hell it was just two trump hating stooges one in particular which i don't i don't know who booked this guy this guy's name is after gut no it's like he should have a show on after gutfeld yes what i was saying right after gutfeld. So after Gut is an ex-prosecutor, federal prosecutor who likes, unfortunately, I wish I had video. This is the one time where you see this guy, he's kind of bug-eyed and he opens his mouth and he talks real slow. I had to cut a lot of pauses out. He talks real slow and he seems nuts.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Okay. And he looks kind of insane and and that no i gotta go he was not happy with this booking i don't think because when they flashed back to it was like can we get this guy off no but i thought he was the best the best for our show for our show so she introduces him though with a great uh with a plumb. And this is, this is the Trump, this clip is called Trump Indictment After Gut DN Intro. For more, we're joined by two guests in Washington, D.C. He looks like Bert from Bert and Ernie, if he had the same hair as I'm seeing online. Doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:15:40 You have to see him talk to appreciate, because he talks with his mouth way open. Oh, fun. For more, we're joined by two guests. In Washington, D.C., Robert Weissman is with us, president of Public Citizen, one of the groups organizing nationwide not above the law Trump indictment rapid response rallies in support of accountability this Thursday, the day of the arraignment. Also with us, Dennis Aptergut, former federal prosecutor. He's currently of counsel to lawyers defending American democracy.
Starting point is 00:16:11 His piece for Slate is headlined, Jack Smith's January 6th Trump indictment is a prosecutorial masterstroke. Well, Dennis, let's begin there. Masterstroke. Can you respond to the significance of this indictment and what these four counts are all about? Wow. That was the intro now. Yeah. So she, I think they booked him based on this essay about this masterstroke. By the way, so she's going to ask, you heard what she asked. He says nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:42 By the way, so she's going to ask, you heard what she asked. He says nothing. He never says anything about anything about the indictment, what good it is. It's just all about the structure and how pretty it is. And then it got so bad that when we go into clip three, this is clip two coming up. When we go to clip three, you're going to hear Juan Gonzalez come on and he's like exasperated with this guy but let's listen to what what our great analyst after gut has to say this clip to uh the significance relates to the fact that this is an indictment that will bring about be not forgiven not just the trial of the century, but the trial of all American history. This is an indictment about lies to disenfranchise the American people and about
Starting point is 00:17:36 a man who would be king. We fought a war of independence in 1776 to 1783 to prevent that. That's why this case is more important than any other. Oh, well, that's a new twist on worse than 9-11 and Pearl Harbor. I mean, now it would be king. We almost had a king. Oh, no. So I'm watching this. It's like,'s like oh this guy he hasn't said anything it's just a bunch of screwy stuff and so juan gonzalez jumps in with his like well
Starting point is 00:18:13 how about some facts or something here besides this nuttiness and here we go uh but dennis after god i'd like to ask you this whole issue of these six co-conspirators. They were not indicted along with him. Obviously, the government probably is hoping for some of them to turn. But if some of them ended up being indicted, what would that do in terms of a timeline for a trial of this kind? Nothing. What makes this indictment so elegant are two key things. One, that it was only Trump who was indicted. You can be confident that the others will not be indicted until after a trial date is set so that the trial of Trump goes first. And the other element of elegance is that all of the so many facts alleged, none of which would be alleged if Jack Smith couldn't prove them, all of them go to all four counts. That streamlines the trial to ensure that if it is set sufficiently early, the case
Starting point is 00:19:26 will finish well before not just the November election, but hopefully before the Republican nominating convention in July. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Okay. By the way, this guy's in Sonoma. Wow. Okay. By the way, this guy's in Sonoma. And if you listen carefully, I'm pretty sure he's sloshed. He lives near Healdsburg, does he? Hey, Trump, it's going to be great. Trial of the century. Trial of Trump. That's a nice one. He has a book coming out.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I'll bet you it's called Trial of Trump. Yeah. Well, so you can kind of see the Juan Gonzalez and Amy kind of rolling their eyes with this guy because he's not providing anything. So they switch over to the new guy. This is clip four. And I like to bring in Robert Weissman, a public citizen, into the conversation. Your response to the indictment and also to the Trump campaign's statement, which was released on his social media. You got to stop it. You have to listen carefully to the question. He doesn't even come close to
Starting point is 00:20:45 addressing the question. And he just agrees with the other guy. This is unbelievably bad. This is the one of the worst presentations that Amy Goodman could possibly come up with. Only available on your no agenda show. I like to bring in Robert Weissman, a public citizen into the conversation. Your response. Robert Weissman, a public citizen, into the conversation. Your response— Wait a minute. Robert Weissman, a public citizen? What is a public citizen?
Starting point is 00:21:09 No, no. It's publiccitizen.org. I think it's called citizen.org. Oh, okay. Okay. And it is a horrid kind of left-wing— This is, by the way, the most unbalanced presentation you could possibly come up with. Wait, wait, citizen.org,
Starting point is 00:21:26 those are the guys from the big show and the big climate show. Isn't that it? I don't know if they're, maybe, it could be. They could be involved. I'm not sure. You got to go look at the website,
Starting point is 00:21:37 but Weissman runs the thing. I don't know. You can't find anybody. There's a bunch of... That's a Laureen Powell Jobs outfit, isn't it? I don't think this is one of hers because I couldn't find her anywhere listed a bunch of laureen powell jobs outfit isn't it i don't think this is one of hers because i couldn't find her anywhere listed okay all right all right let us continue
Starting point is 00:21:50 to the indictment and also to the trump campaign's a statement which was released on his his social media site truth social which said in part quote the lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union and other authoritarian dictatorial regimes. Yeah, thanks, Juan. And I think Dennis gets it exactly. If you throw out Trump, his supporters, Nazis, Nazi Germany 30s, and the guy comes back with, yeah, thanks a lot. That was great, man. You really didn't hit it, did you? Former Soviet Union and other authoritarian dictatorial regimes.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yeah, thanks, Juan. And I think Dennis gets it exactly right in talking about how consequential this indictment and the trial will be in American history. You know, I think one of the things that's important about the indictment, it tells the story, basically the story we know that was revealed, that we saw in real time, and that was detailed by the January 6th committee. But the charges, which might sound legalistic at first, are really about that conspiracy over many months to overturn the election. And one charge in particular, I think, gets to the heart of the matter, which is not just about interfering with an abstract government proceeding, but denying—a conspiracy to deny people their right to vote. their right to vote.
Starting point is 00:23:23 It's a civil rights statute tracing back to the Civil War era. And it really gets to the heart of what happened, which is that Donald Trump tried to strip away from all of us our democracy and our individual rights to vote to protect himself
Starting point is 00:23:38 and remain in power. Oh, man. Yeah, global. It's different from I was thinking of global citizen that's something else oh maybe yeah so there is a uh this is a delusionary uh presentation they ask him about stalin he goes on about this this trump thing and it came to a head i think with the same character wiseman this wiseman guy yeah guy, who in the next clip,
Starting point is 00:24:08 which is clip five, and then there's a clip that's got, unfortunately, it's got the carrot instead of a six, so you should note that, which is the sixth clip. But the fifth clip, I want you to listen to this guy just go off on Trump and the situation that we've been in when Trump was president and tell me if this is even close to reality and I have to wonder how delusional that this group is on this side of the fence and this isn't the MSNBC delusional types this is another this is a real lefty well if I delusional type this is different can i just say i'm looking at the citizen.org and uh they are not a uh a non-profit that you can you know that you can deduct your donation to because they lobby con congress and federal agencies to advance
Starting point is 00:24:59 public citizens mission of advancing government. They're a lobbying group. So, you know, it's not the same as kumbaya, we want America to be better. They're a lobbying group. All right, let's listen to this guy. So this lobbying group is run by this guy, the guy you're going to hear now. I think as this case, as the events of January 6th have receded in time,
Starting point is 00:25:32 and the Trump presidency has receded in time, it's possible to forget how horrible that period was. The constant assault on decency, people of color, immigrants, democracy. And this case brings that back to the fore. Oh, wow. Yeah. The constant assault. Yes. Oh, we have a caller, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Hello, Republican line. Just take it off the hook. The constant assault on democracy that we had during that Trump administration. This is a quandary, John. I mean, you did not take your phone off the hook. Hello, 1975. Yeah. Are you just going to let it ring? Yeah, I'll let it ring. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Oh, it stopped. Okay. So, now after listening to this guy go on about the horrible four years of Trump and the assault on democracy and the immigrants and how miserable we all were. And black people. And black people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Who he got more jobs for than anyone. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Quiet, shh, shh. Let's go back to Mr. Aftergut. Uh, he, he has a, um, a theory here that I have to, I have a follow-up clip to this because this is so off base. I'm, uh, if I find it hard to believe, I find it hard to believe this guy ever worked in the government in any real sense and probably why he had to move to Sonoma because he didn't do his job properly. Just listen to this. We also learned this is a small tidbit, but it's interesting that Mike Pence took
Starting point is 00:27:12 contemporaneous notes in January of his conversations with Donald Trump. Two things about that of significance. Number one, it strengthens the case. The evidence because Jack Smith now has those notes. And number two, why does someone take contemporaneous notes? It tells us that in late January, the former vice president who had served
Starting point is 00:27:37 loyally the president of the United States for four years did not trust him any further than he could throw him. I think he not drunk. I think he's drunk. Okay, so. Contemporaneous. Or Pence took contemporaneous notes.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I just coincidentally listened to KT McFarland, who was on Gutfeld, talking about after gut, and she just made this simple comment. They were talking about the Biden meetings and the phone calls and the rest. And I just want to play this little thing because I have some thoughts on this, too. This is Katie McFarland counter argument. OK, so here's how this happens. When a vice president, president of the United States is getting on the phone with somebody, you can't just like pick up the phone and say, hi, how are you doing?
Starting point is 00:28:25 How's the weather? There's a big talking point. You get the bullet points. What are you going to talk about? Obviously, his son has said, dad, you know, do this when I give you the wink. Say this, say that. So there's no way. The other thing is that there's always a record kept.
Starting point is 00:28:38 So somebody has a transcript of these conversations or at least a summary of these conversations. There's always a transcript kept of what someone who worked for the administrative state myself you always take notes you don't take notes because you're fearful this guy's a douchebag i would sit so i remember going to um my dad was not doing well and uh so i i went to see my uncle because he was very concerned and and his sister his wife is was she passed now was my dad's sister and he was at the time president of the korea society i'm sure some kind of fine spook front so i go to his office in manhattan and uh and we're sitting down now this is Adam and his uncle, Uncle Don and his nephew.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And we sit down. Hey, how are you doing? And he gets out a pad and a paper. He says, I'm sorry, man. It's just what I do. It's from the agency. He was taking contemporaneous notes of me. That's exactly what they do.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That's exactly what they do. That's what anyone does who works in government. This guy after gut who claims that it's because, oh, he couldn't trust Trump as far as he could throw him, was talking through his hat. He's an asshole. And Amy Goodman should be ashamed of having people like that on the show. Well, this is I mean, honestly on both counts i mean the trump stuff seems to be really distraction okay whatever fine you got an indictment i guess i guess it'll have to play out it'll be interesting to see if they can actually move it to get a court case before oh i hear before the republican uh yeah good luck before they choose a candidate,
Starting point is 00:30:26 or before the election. But on the other side, the same thing, all I hear about the Biden crime family is, okay, yeah, I mean, even Tucker, 12 minutes of Tucker with this Devin dude,
Starting point is 00:30:39 what's his name? Oh, you had him on? Yeah, and it's 12 minutes of, well, we know, ha ha, because it's all about influence, ha ha, we know really it was, you put him on speaker, well, you put him on speaker, why put him on yeah and it's 12 minutes of well we know ha ha because it's all about influence ha ha we know really it was good was he put him on speaker we put him on speaker why put him on speaker well dude so what you know it's like okay i mean this isn't gonna go nowhere because every single person in congress i'll bet no i'll bet a high percentage has a son or a daughter or a cousin who's on staff,
Starting point is 00:31:05 has some kind of consultancy. I mean, this is rampant. If anything, it's showing you the whole picture from both sides. It's all lame. It's all lame. It's super lame. Bleh. In the meantime, if you're done with this, with the Trump stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I'm done with it. I had to get these clips because I'm telling you, I was so annoyed. No, you're right. Rightfully so. I'm glad you did that. And honestly, I didn't get any clips except for the, you know, I got two that were sent to me. And I guess, yes, Giuliani is one of the co-conspirators. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Get that guy. Let's make fun of his hair. I hate but oh good get that guy let's make fun of his hair hey giuliani he's dripping he's dripping the hair dye he's dripping exactly um what i learned from the former new york banker you'll be interested in that one fedNow will kill all existing processing merchants. That was a surprise to me. That's the new network they have. I'm sorry. FedNow.
Starting point is 00:32:13 What do you mean? It's going to kill the Costco and Target? No, the processing merchants. Oh, the Bank of America, MasterCard and Visa? Correct. Just passing on the information. Two. Well, that sounds like an interesting short sale.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Well, I think that's exactly what he's, he's not necessarily looking at the shorts. I think he's looking at the longs and who is in the Fed now. So Fed now has legs, according to the most reliable source I have. Okay. Well, that actually may be a long-term. If they wanted to,
Starting point is 00:32:49 they could wipe those two guys out. Well, I think it's going to happen. Two, ERC. Do you know what this is? ERC? Yes, ERC. Exactly. ERC.
Starting point is 00:33:02 You've probably heard commercials on the radio, the same guys who do Optima tax relief, employee retention credit. This is part of another trillion dollars that was signed during COVID. Wasn't that the money that was already spent during the COVID? Nope.
Starting point is 00:33:20 This was the... So the quote is, this scam is PPP plus 50%. And we're only just- Operative word scam? Scam. Well, yes, because everybody who knows their way around, and I'm not going to accuse anybody I know, might've been having coffee with them, but everybody who has a business got lots of ppp money which they never had to pay back and now this erc and and i think that now this is just me thinking that this will only exacerbate the inflation issue
Starting point is 00:34:00 because it's just going to be this huge, up to a trillion dollars. And we know hundreds of billions was stolen, literally stolen with PPP. And it's only people who are smart. And honestly, I know you looked at it. You're like, hey, can we get some of this goody? And we're like, no, okay. But we did look at it.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Did we or not? No. But we don't have any employees. No, that's when we, oh, we don't have any employees. Crap. All right. We can't get in on the books. We can't get in on the scam. Let's put Mimi and Tina on the books. Yeah. Get some free cash. Yeah. Well, we can still do it for the ERC. No, we didn't do any scamming. We could have. Well, yeah, I guess technically we could have sure so just uh well this sounds like another yeah this is
Starting point is 00:34:52 interesting because uh this is one of the probably the tip of the iceberg for the reasons that fitch dropped the united states of america's credit rating from triple a to triple a to double a plus well let's talk about that's a plus well let's talk about that's a big deal let's talk about that the u.s for the first time in 12 years has had its credit rating downgraded the credit rating agency fitch has cut the u.s from its long-standing triple a rating to double a plus citing growing government debt and political instability highlighted by the january 6th attack on the Capitol. Oh, bullshit! That triggered Wall Street's worst day in months,
Starting point is 00:35:28 with the Dow dropping 1%, the S&P falling 1.4%, and the Nasdaq sinking more than 2%. Oh, it gets better. These are fantastic. I mean, the obvious reason for this downgrade is because of our debt-to-GDP ratio. No, well, according to Horowitz,
Starting point is 00:35:45 and he keeps track of this better than the both of us, there's one reason, and one reason only, is when they lifted the debt ceiling to maximum until 2025. No, not maximum, unlimited. Unlimited. That's the sole reason they did this. Well, hold on a second. That makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:36:03 For the first time in more than a decade, the nation's long-term credit rating has been lowered. Fitch ratings downgraded the U.S. from AAA, which is its top mark, to AA+. The firm said those repeated standoffs in Washington over the debt limit and last-minute deals have eroded confidence in the nation's fiscal management the white house responded that fitch's downgrade defies reality at a time when president biden has delivered the strongest recovery of any major economy in the world okay so who was really mad about this why janet old yellen of course that's her new name old yellen i just came i like it old yellen Old Yellen. Because Bidenomics rocks, man! Fitch's decision is puzzling in light of the economic strength we see in the United States. I strongly disagree with Fitch's decision, and I believe it is entirely unwarranted.
Starting point is 00:37:06 is based on outdated data and fails to reflect improvements across a range of indicators, including those related to governance that we've seen over the past two and a half years. Despite the gridlock, we've seen both parties come together to pass legislation to resolve the debt limit as well as to make historic investments in our infrastructure and American competitiveness. Is she really that dumb that she doesn't see that the resolution is the problem, the resolving the debt limit? Doesn't she see that that's the exact issue? Fiscal priority, fiscal responsibility is a priority for President Biden and me. priority for President Biden and me. Earlier this year, the president signed debt limit legislation that included over a trillion dollars in deficit reduction. His budget would also improve the
Starting point is 00:37:54 fiscal outlook by reducing the deficit by 2.6 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. Today, we're here to speak about an IRS modernization project. Listen to this. Don't worry about it. We're going to get some money. Don't worry. We'll fill up all the deficit because we're coming for you, little people. Launched this time last year that will reduce our deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars
Starting point is 00:38:23 over the next decade by ensuring that the IRS has the resources it needs to enforce against wealthy taxpayers and large corporations that have not paid the taxes they owe. Oh, yeah. Don't worry. It's only going to be corporations and wealthy people. Don't worry. What a lie. and wealthy people. Don't worry. What a lie. Today, Fitch's decision does not change what all of us already know. The treasury securities remain the world's preeminent,
Starting point is 00:38:54 safe and liquid asset and that the American economy is fundamentally strong. I love how she doesn't even say the dollar anymore. She just says, well, the treasury securities, you know, the stuff that kind of is like the dollar. Yeah, they're the best. Invest in those are the best. And besides, everybody loves Bidenomics.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Democrats may have an uphill climb when it comes to perceptions of the economy. Sixty five percent of the people we spoke to say the economy is bad despite the drop in inflation over the past year. Nancy Cordes is traveling with President Biden in Delaware. Good morning, Nancy. Good morning, Natalie. You know, job growth may be up, GDP is up, unemployment is down, but according to this new CBS News poll, heading into an election year, many Americans still feel that the economy is not working for them. In fact, struggling and uncertain were the words that respondents chose most frequently to describe the current state of the economy. More than half of them told us they feel like they're staying in place. A third said they're falling behind.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And while wages are now finally rising faster than inflation, 70 percent of Americans told us they're just not feeling that yet. So it's perhaps no surprise that President Biden still isn't getting much credit for an improving economy. People aren't feeling it, they tell us. So his approval ratings for handling the economy are tied for an all-time low, only 34% approve. As you can imagine, this is a source of endless frustration for Biden aides who have begun to use the term Bidenomics on a nearly daily basis to try to turn that perception around. But apparently it is going to take some time. In our poll, six in 10 Americans said they either
Starting point is 00:40:37 hadn't heard the term Bidenomics or they didn't know much about it. it's surprising but cbs is is out there bringing down the big guy bydnomics haven't no didn't don't even know what that is doesn't and they've been well they're also making sure they bring down the other guy they both these candidates have got to go uh that's why they bring in the january 6th thing having to do with the fitch downgrade the next thing is going to happen is moody's is going to have to they have to do something on their hands yeah they got to do something they look like losers and so they're going to have to drop it and then s&p and then you get to all three rating agencies will drop the government's of uh worthiness and then what is it what is the line is screwed what is the logical conclusion in the of it does interest rate get affected by that?
Starting point is 00:41:27 A little bit. A little bit. Okay. Because it makes it, you're not trustworthy anymore. I mean, if you're not AAA, you're a government and you're not trustworthy to AAA level. We're not trustworthy? What? What?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Come on, Africa. We're trustworthy. Trust us. Let's you know, the other thing is the Biden's promise to bail out hundreds of thousands of student loans, which has gone eerily silent. I don't hear I don't see people running around thanking him. So how's that going? Officials in Los Angeles fear a wave of evictions and a rise in the homeless population. The concern comes after the deadline for renters to pay back rent missed during the pandemic has come and gone. CBS's Mark Strassman has more in depth reporting on how L.A. is not alone with this pending crisis. This is a three-day eviction notice. Susie Rosman's rattled by reality. The
Starting point is 00:42:27 bill always rattles by reality. How much do you owe in back rent? Nine thousand. Can you pay that back? As slowly, but not how they want it. So probably no. Rosman got breast cancer, lost her teaching job, fell behind eight months on her rent. Just in Los Angeles, thousands of tenants had rent waived during the first 19 months of the pandemic. Many owe a small fortune. L.A.'s typical rent, nearly $3,000 a month, a 75% jump since the pandemic began. And the eviction moratorium on back rent has expired.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Good afternoon, Legal Aid Foundation. At the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, calls for help can wait three hours. It's very hard for folks who are barely making it. How would you describe the mood on the other end of the phone? It's all coming due like a balloon payment. It's frightening, terrifying for most of them. In L.A. County alone, roughly 75,000 people have no permanent housing, roughly the population of Scranton, Pennsylvania. We are very concerned about the fact that many more people could fall into.
Starting point is 00:43:36 CBS again, man, CBS. There's no reason in the world to throw in Scranton unless you're given the needle to Biden. In L.A. County alone, roughly 75,000 people have no permanent housing, roughly the population of Scranton, Pennsylvania. We're very concerned about the fact that many more people could fall into homelessness. At least nine states have varying eviction protections in place, breathing room to help renters keep their homes. But unsettled rent bills are unsettling. I'm like at my wit's end because what am I going to do? I can't live in my car.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Yeah, you can. Another issue is getting federal rent assistance to people who need it. More money. For example, $46 billion was approved. Only $3 billion has has gone out and nor the eviction clock is ticking yeah and i i hate to report with this next clip but i i've i've talked to many people about this and you know it was one thing when they said yeah they're putting fentanyl in the heroin because you know they could hook people more okay then they're putting it in the
Starting point is 00:44:47 cocaine because yeah people get more hooked on it really okay then they're putting it in the marijuana because you know this is like it seems like they want to kill their customers this is not what drug dealers do drug dealers do not go out of their way to kill their customers. And now we have Trank. And this is it. To me, this is the plan. It is an unwritten plan. that homelessness typically results, or a lot of homelessness results in drug abuse. And the idea is to leave these, not to help these people, but give them pipes and syringes. Yeah, they're doing that, the government. To die and to rot away, literally rot away.
Starting point is 00:45:45 This is from TRT. You won't get this on American television. This is Turkish radio and television. Half-conscious addicts with deep sores and bent backs are becoming a more frequent sight in several countries, especially in the U.S., where the zombie drug has recently gained traction. The zombie drug xylosine, also known as Trank, is originally an animal tranquilizer that is both cheap and easy to access. As a result, it has made inroads in illicit drug markets. The use of xylosine was first reported in Puerto Rico and Philadelphia in the mid-2000s,
Starting point is 00:46:17 but experts say that it was in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic that its consumption increased exponentially in Philadelphia and in other states. And now in 2023, it is present in most US states. When consumed, it is known to cause necrosis in humans because it reduces blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration. Necrosis, the rotting of human tissue,
Starting point is 00:46:41 can ultimately cause victims to require amputation. And that's where the drug gets its nickname, zombie drug. While Trink is not an opioid that is used by itself, drug dealers often combine it with depressants or stimulants like heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl to prolong or enhance their effects or to increase their weight and in turn raise their street value. These combinations can be lethal especially when fentanyl is involved as fentanyl is said to be 50 times stronger than heroin and is often itself
Starting point is 00:47:12 used to adulterate other drugs like heroin and cocaine. Consumers who use the drug either knowingly or unknowingly often fall into an hours-long stupor, and once they wake up, they are already in need of another high. Treating xylosine patients is difficult, as it requires that the effects of multiple addictions be mediated, and at times that body parts with infected skin ulcers be amputated, as some grow so deep they can infect tendons and bones. Overdose reversal drugs that are often used for opioid addicts are not very effective on xylose making treatment even harder drug abuse is rampant in
Starting point is 00:47:52 the u.s where more than 109 000 lives were claimed in 2022 due to overdoses and other drug-related issues this is it this is the policy let them rot away and die it's it's a it's a farce they don't care there's just they don't care let them rot away these people are now beyond repair these are broken rotting rotting zombies and that and i think i think it's i think it's government policy at this point trank what drug dealer goes out of their way to get trank to to put to put that into the drugs oh yeah dude you may not be here next week so buy now while stocks last no it's horrible yeah it's not a it's obviously the drug dealer is a uh there's something yeah you're right it's a supply it's a supply this makes zero i'm sure we have a drug addict or drug dealer in no agenda nation who can set us straight uh but i i'm i just it makes no commercial sense to do this.
Starting point is 00:49:07 And you can see the Trank victims. You can see them because they're the ones that are bent over like they're doing yoga. It's amazing. Yeah, they're the ones bent over. Yeah, they're bent over. Their hands are touching their feet. It breaks my heart that this is what it's come to. It's insane. I love how they threw in
Starting point is 00:49:26 pennsylvania there once again that was kind of interesting oh yes yeah they did that's well let's listen to these clips i got migrants in manhattan yeah yeah yeah this is another thing but there's also i've got a homeless clip by cory bush being discussed on democracy now with some numbers about let's do that one first since that ties in missouri congress member cory bush has reintroduced the unhoused bill of rights which could provide universal housing in the u.s by 2027 helping some one and a half million people who now live on the streets bush was herself once unhoused and forced to live in her car with her children. She said, quote, we have the power and money to end the unhoused crisis. We just need the will to
Starting point is 00:50:11 reorient congressional priorities, she said. Yeah, priorities. Ukraine. Yeah, that's right. You got to think she's a big supporter of that, too. So what are you going to do? You got the priority straight. She's a big supporter of that, too. So what are you going to do? Yeah, the migrants in Manhattan is another gem. Let's play this. Here in New York, hundreds of migrants have been forced to sleep on the streets as Mayor Eric Adams declared there's no more room. He called out the Biden administration for failing to help as over 90,000 people arrived in New York City over the past year and a half.
Starting point is 00:50:45 over 90,000 people arrived in New York City over the past year and a half. In July, the mayor said New York City would distribute flyers at the U.S.-Mexico border, telling asylum seekers to consider another city. Housing and rights advocates have blasted the Adams administration for its handling of the situation. This is Marada Wauda of the New York Immigration Coalition. Another slap in the face are, you know, historical New Yorkers who've been here and our most recent arrivals who are just seeking a little bit of help in this moment. We need to actually stop doubling and tripling down on broken systems like our emergency shelter system and actually invest in getting people out of emergency shelter and into permanent housing. New York officials are calling on the federal government to allow for expedited work permits
Starting point is 00:51:25 for asylum seekers. Oh, yes. There you go. That makes sense. And this, oh, the replacement theory is a lie. No, no. We're going to sterilize the future generation as much as we can. That's also actually happening in New York.
Starting point is 00:51:43 We'll get to that in a moment. We're going to... Hey, by the way, I don't have the... I was going to maybe put this in the newsletter at some point. I probably still will. And I can't get a clip because the clip, for some reason, the CNN clip of this is not working. And I tried it on different browsers.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I've tried it. It will not come up. But do you remember in 2013, a woman was arrested in New York, New York State, for bringing a couple of strippers to a 16th birthday party of her son at a bowling alley. And they arrested her because of the strippers were doing lap dances and being semi-lewd, but not nude necessarily. But they weren't reading books. This poor woman was arrested in 2013, but now they have...
Starting point is 00:52:33 They weren't reading books. They have drag queens and nudes and other things with little kids. We're not even talking about... Her boy was 16. Okay, so excellent point. So let's listen to one other clip with little kids. We're not even talking about this. Your boy was 16. Okay. So excellent point. So let's listen to one other clip about the situation in New York city.
Starting point is 00:52:53 And remember, we have people dying on the street, tranks turning into zombies. It's not quite as cool as zombies. Cause they not really mobile. They can't like, you know, saunter into the,
Starting point is 00:53:09 you know, they can't go through the tunnel they're really pretty immobile so no michael jackson video but so we're killing them homeless just die go here's a crack pipe go ahead yay here's a syringe migrants uh what in midtown manhattan it's a scene of human misery asylum seekers sleeping on sidewalks outside of the Roosevelt Hotel. 36-year-old Adrian Daniel Jose is among dozens of people waiting to get services, leaving his wife and three kids in Venezuela. Your glasses broke. That's when you were robbed in Mexico. And so tape is holding your glasses together.
Starting point is 00:53:42 And you've arrived here in America with the clothes on your back. From this moment on is downhill. There is no more room. To reduce the chaos, Adams and the mayors of Chicago and Denver are asking the Biden administration to expedite work permits for migrants. There has been no comprehensive response yet from the federal government or the states that have the ability to provide the help that is desperately needed. Thousands have been buzzed from Texas to cities across the country. Part of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott's controversial Operation Lone Star. In Newtonite, Texas DPS confirms troopers have begun detaining some fathers traveling with their families on trespassing charges, while children and their mothers are turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
Starting point is 00:54:27 The move is reminiscent of the Trump administration policy that separated some families for years. Back in New York City, Natalia and Maxim Sabatina from Russia are seeking political asylum. Have you slept? No, I can't sleep in this situation. I can't sleep. It situation. I can't live. It's not safe for me, for him.
Starting point is 00:54:49 To cut down on illegal border crossings, the Biden administration barred asylum claims from those who don't first seek refuge in other countries. But a district judge ruled against it. Unless a higher court intervenes, officials will need to stop that policy starting next week what the woman's from russia yeah coming across the border getting on a bus and then going to new york yeah she's from russia did she walk over mayor adams is now considering putting up migrant tents in central park that'll, that'll improve the city. Definitely have to do that. We got to get some pictures.
Starting point is 00:55:29 This reminds me, remember it was like, I don't know, about a year ago, they were putting the migrants in large encampments on the various streets of the residential areas and blocking the streets off. It's out of control. They're doing this in Chicago. They're just throwing them on the streets. They're sleeping in control. They're doing this in Chicago. They're just throwing them on the streets. They're sleeping in airports. They're sleeping in police stations.
Starting point is 00:55:50 And again, priorities, right? Priorities. Kids, the priority in New York City. For many kids, camp helps add some sparkle to their summers. Are litters a little chunkier? At New Country Pride Camp, that sparkle is a lot more literal. The 14th Street Y and New Country Day Camp are in the middle of Pride Camp. Now in its third year, the program is specifically aimed at serving LGBTQ plus kids and children of people in those communities.
Starting point is 00:56:20 These Pride Campers from across the New York City area have come for a taste of typical summer fun. Everybody here is part of the LGBTQ community, so you have a lot of people that are just like you. From my experience, when a bunch of people in the same community gather together, it's so much easier to talk to them and make friends. Camp staples like swimming, rock climbing, and arts and crafts. But the campers also get some more pride-centric activities, all with a focus on inclusivity and self-expression. I do a lot. I'm a battle-worn, zombified vampire.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Dude, put the kid out on the street. He can have a real zombie experience. I'm a battle-worn, zombified vampire. And LGBTQ plus counselors are also on hand. They help show the kids the joy and connection of being in the queer community. I have these trans kids coming to me and saying, are kids going to use my pronouns in middle school? It's tough to see them recognize that school is not going to be the same as Pride Camp.
Starting point is 00:57:26 If this camp existed when I was younger, I would be a very different person. I'm just going to make a guess here that most of these people are not poor. I think my internalized homophobia would be much less. One of the realities still today about being an LGBTQ plus kid is a sense of isolation. When kids are here at Pride Camp, they are accepted and they are part of the group. And the hope is they'll be able to take that sense of belonging outside of these campgrounds. Fewer than 40 percent of LGBTQ youth have found their home to be LGBTQ affirming and just over half, around 54%, found their school to be affirming. So that tells me that we have a lot of room for growth.
Starting point is 00:58:09 While some of these kids at Pride Camp do see it as pretty much like any other day camp. Do you think you'll want to come back to Pride Camp next year? Yeah. To others, it's a much needed place where they're able to have fun and fully be themselves it makes me feel like there are people who like know about this and it's not just like a thing i made up five year old yes it's not just something i made up okay so this is where the priorities are. And we also know, again, from the banking community, that America wins as long as our population grows. And the only way to keep that going is by allowing, and I don't care how many times they say it's Congress's fault or whatever, the President of the United States should go out and say, no, no more.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Say it in 15 languages and no. And then no is no. And let everybody know that it's no. You can't come in anymore. We got to reorganize everything. We've got to set everything straight. This is not being highlighted. People know it, but it's really not being highlighted what's happening
Starting point is 00:59:25 it's it's it's really sad and talk about lying to the public where it's you know jack smith is his main complaint against trump yeah and this is why it's all a distraction it's a huge distraction illinois is doing all the same things as New York. Governor Pritzker recently signed more than 130 bills, and among the new laws, one allowing non-citizens to become police officers in Illinois. Hello. Reporter Scott Schneider live in the studio with details on this. Scott. Anthony Nellie, this law requires that immigrants be legally authorized to work under federal law. The bill's sponsor called it a natural progression now that some undocumented immigrants can become health care workers and military members. However, it's been highly criticized by Republicans and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP issued a statement earlier this
Starting point is 01:00:14 month ahead of Friday's bill signing. It reads in part, what message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the officers of our laws? This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get. I'll give you a clip of the day for that's fine. Okay, thank you. Clip of the day. What is wrong with the people that are running these governments, especially Illinois is the worst.
Starting point is 01:00:49 These elections have been rigged to keep these people in office. There's no doubt in my mind about it because no citizen in their right mind would put up with this. Pritzker couldn't have possibly been elected by anybody. The contrast is what's so interesting the you know so all of this focus put on trump trump trump trump trump all of that focus and then all of the focus on lgbtq plus and how beautiful and everything's great and we have to be loving and then letting migrants come across the border and rot on the street along with the homeless who are who are literally rotting
Starting point is 01:01:33 rotting from this horrible trank drug we got this is evil this is evil i can't even blame these politicians they're captured by some evil spirit, dare I say. Satan! And now listen to this. Well, that's the best excuse I can come up with. Now listen to Dr. McCullough, who sees something interesting take place with the LGBTQ plus flag. Pride flag, this colorful pride well pride i guess on my uh my sub stack and on my twitter feed was recently updated to overlay the autism infinity symbol that was this this symptom the symbol of the autism society since
Starting point is 01:02:20 1999 and in in the upgrade it said said this is to include neurodiversity. Neurodiversity. So why autism? Why not stroke or multiple sclerosis or some other condition? Well, this is what we've learned. A paper by Van der Meesen from the Netherlands now, nearly 15 years ago, pointed out that young people going for gender change were autistic. At least 20 20 had the clinical
Starting point is 01:02:46 diagnosis of autism and now more recently a big survey 600 000 people lgbt survey surveyed using standard psychometric instruments and guess what lgbt particularly the t is off the Richter scale for autism and autism spectrum disorder. So, as predicted, these are likely a high percentage of children who are autistic. How they get that way is a second question, because I don't remember that when I was growing up. So something happened, something happened. Maybe it's just all made up. Maybe it's all just DSM-5, and we just made it up.
Starting point is 01:03:38 But we know from Erin, the concerned therapist, that this is mandated by her trade organizations and by the political organizations she must belong to for licensing, etc. But you have children who are showing clear autistic tendencies. No, what you have to do is you have to tell them they're the opposite sex. They're confused. Then we have screens. Screens. Screen-induced autism.
Starting point is 01:04:03 All teachers know this is a real thing. Luckily, if you remove the screen, it goes away within a week. But we have children and young people, even older people, displaying pure autism. And it's not even from brain damage other than the screen that they have their face planted in. And now it's time for our Trans Mouth update self-destruct initiated this came in the nvric intelligence bulletin for uh uh the most recent one you get these all the time don't you john people send these to you yep intelligence bulletin. Summary.
Starting point is 01:04:52 This product. I like how they do that. We should do that more often, too. This product provides situational awareness regarding recent anarchistic violent extremists. Online propaganda promoting. Here it comes. Tranarchism. Or the use of violence again liking it or the use of violence against entities perceived to discriminate against and threaten the existence of the lgbtqia plus community while the nvric has not identified any
Starting point is 01:05:24 specific credible threat to the region related to these posts at this time, some have been observing recirculating among AVE, that's anarchistic violent extremist affiliated groups, who have a presence in the national capital region. Tranarchism. So, now they're going to be riled up to be to be violent well they've we've already we spotted this a while ago i mean they they guy girl that went and shot up all the kids and then mutilated them uh at the school yeah that was a uh yeah a trans mask. It's just an updated version.
Starting point is 01:06:08 There was another example of that. But there was something else. You brought something just before this, and unfortunately we're on some other topic, and I had a thought about it. And you changed it on me. I lost my thought. About the LGBTQ camp? No, no, it was after that. It was just before you brought this trans-anarchism thing in. It was about Illinois.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Illinois making illegal people, illegal aliens. Can't be a legal person. Making them police officers. Yeah, which is bad. It'll come back. Meanwhile, in Canadaada a train oh yes justin trudeau came out as gay didn't he no wait before we get there no we did not oh i thought he did a trans woman requested uh her maid you know the medical assistance in dying uh because uh she's she says i'm i've been sterilized i have
Starting point is 01:07:07 an imitation vagina it's horrible i'm in mental anguish i would like to die and they declined her they declined her yeah i thought they were all in on that she she does not qualify but come back in a year we'll see how you're doing yeah so we are upside down and inside out and that's yes indeed announced on instagram which oddly enough um due to recent legislation uh can't even be reported as news in canada because he did it on instagram a a Meta slash Facebook product. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife of 18 years say they are separating. In a joint statement, the couple said they had, quote, many meaningful and difficult conversations before coming to this decision. Part of their post on Instagram reads, quote, as always,
Starting point is 01:07:59 we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. It's very sad, of course, whenever a marriage breaks up, certainly when they have children. So that's sad. But the Babylon Bee did have the line. Babylon Bee. Their headline stated, Canada shocks Justin Trudeau married to a woman. I mean, that was pretty funny. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Yeah, it's, I mean, there's a lot going on, but the media, this is why we deconstruct media. The media is just giving you Trump bait. Biden bait is just as bad. The Biden stuff is no better. It's, I mean, here, I'll play. Here's ABC. Back here in the US tonight in Capitol Hill, where House Republicans are investigating the president's son, Hunter Biden. Today, the House Oversight Committee holding a closed-door hearing
Starting point is 01:08:55 with Hunter Biden's former business partner and friend, Devin Archer. Let's bring in our senior investigative reporter, Aaron Kuturski. He's live in Washington tonight. And Aaron, Hunter Biden's former business partner was asked whether Hunter Biden had ever put his father, of course, the president, on a speakerphone with clients. He was asked that, David. And according to lawmakers who were in the room, Devin Archer told them that Hunter Biden would often put his father on the phone during business meetings, apparently to impress clients and associates. Archer answered questions several hours behind closed doors and testifying, according to one lawmaker in the room, that Hunter Biden was, quote,
Starting point is 01:09:29 selling the illusion of access to his powerful father and put him on speakerphone with different people some 20 times. During those calls, Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman said the two never spoke about business. Instead, he said Archer described the calls involving President Biden as casual niceties, like the weather. And the White House has long said, David, that President Biden and his son were never in business together. David. And to clarify, Aaron, the calls involved Joe Biden when he was not president. This was before the presidency. That's right. Well before the presidency, even after he was vice president out of office, David. Yeah, this and this is all that's a whitewash. Yeah, but this is all being played out against each other. The timing is perfect. I know I understand what you're saying, and I agree. But but if you're going to do it, at least have some fun with it. You don't whitewash
Starting point is 01:10:18 it. You try to jack it up. Well, it's the opposite. Let's see how CNN does it. The Republican led House Oversight Committee is expected to meet behind closed doors with a former Hunter Biden business associate. Devin Archer served with Biden on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma. And according to the subpoena from those Republicans, quote, Archer played a significant role in the Biden family's business deals abroad, including but not limited to China, Russia and Ukraine. CNN national security reporter Zachary Cohen has the details. Zach, there is a lot of conversation about what's going on right now in terms of Archer and the Justice Department and in terms of what's going to happen behind closed doors. Can you explain what's actually happening today and how this fits into the kind of broader issues that Archer's
Starting point is 01:11:02 dealing with? Yeah, good morning, Phil and Poppy. Look, Devin Archer is somebody who House Republicans have really hyped up as someone they view as a key witness in their investigation that they say is focused on Joe Biden himself. And they've been trying to connect the president to what they call his son's shady foreign business dealings. And because Devin Archer was involved in some of these business transactions with Hunter Biden in places like Ukraine and China, they believe that he could provide evidence that does speak to that point, connecting the president to the foreign business. Now, it remains to be seen if that evidence exists and if Archer can deliver it, if he even has it. the broader polarization around the Hunter Biden congressional investigations that Republicans have really warmed up to the idea of prioritizing as they seek to potentially try to impeach the president based on some of these claims about his foreign dealings and his links to Hunter
Starting point is 01:11:55 Biden's foreign dealings. A huge disservice to the American people. Close the border, you douchebags. Stop people from being eaten alive, the flesh being eaten alive on the streets. Do something productive. This is, wow. I mean, it's so obvious for these two things happening at the same time. And that's all our representatives are doing. Oh, Biden. Oh, the big guy.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Oh, Trump, Trump, Trump. And you know what's going to be next? all representatives are doing oh oh biden oh the big guy oh trump trump trump and and you know what's going to be next come on john you know what's next what come on come on it's come on now to new covid concern this morning now the number of people testing positive in hospitals appears to be ticking up new covid concerns now with the reality check. This is a rerun. This is no good, this being next. They've got to come up with something better. No, no, no. They're going to do it.
Starting point is 01:12:49 And what those numbers mean. Good morning, Stephanie. Hey, Michael. Good morning. These days, it's almost impossible to tell how many COVID cases there really are. Oh, no. The CDC has stopped keeping track.
Starting point is 01:12:58 That was always true. And most people don't report their cases anymore. No, because we're not dying from it, but that doesn't matter. So the best way to track the virus is counting people who test positive. Boy, she likes to emphasize her words. Yeah. Track the virus.
Starting point is 01:13:13 Track the virus. Hospital admissions and that number, while pretty small, is on the rise. According to new numbers from the CDC overnight, COVID hospitalizations have increased 12% in the week ending July 22nd compared to the prior week. But to put that into perspective, hospitalizations still remain at record lows. There were a little more than 8,000 weekly hospitalizations. And just to compare, peak Omicron was more than 150,000. Deaths have not increased, but there could be reporting delays. The federal government is now
Starting point is 01:13:45 setting its sights on treating long covid with new studies and a new office to lead the response for people still suffering from the virus okay so there's a lot in this report um obviously the people aren't dying because the vaccine is working clearly we know that yeah the vaccine has worked but you know we've got to get our old boy back on the scene we've got to get him we got to start talking about the new booster that's the bivalent booster it's the one for the new variant we already know the new variant we couldn't predict it before but there's a new variant coming and you got to bring him back he's i mean he won't debate anybody on joe rogan but he's back on the tube so we are seeing that there's an increase in cases but what about hospitalization
Starting point is 01:14:31 specifically yeah i mean what about two or three it's hotep hotas ladies and gentlemen three weeks ago we were looking about the best we ever have been in in several months and so that was really good news and and and the numbers are still generally good, but they are going up. As pointed out, the Houston wastewater now has been rising pretty steadily every week. Houston wastewater has been rising steadily. So now they're just looking at people's poop.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Yeah. I see COVID in your poop. Yeah, it's going up. Better get a booster. From 50% to 70%, 90%, now 135%. 135% of what? It was that trend. Case is up.
Starting point is 01:15:09 And nationally, hospital admissions over the last week are up 10%. Huge jumps. Huge jumps. But there is a concerning trend. So we still have to be cautious and recognize there's still a heck of a lot of COVID out there. There's still a heck of a lot of COVID out there. There's still a heck of a lot of COVID out there, everybody. Oh, but what about the booster? Dr. Hotez, everyone is being encouraged to get a booster shot, of course.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Many people that we speak with say that they're done. They've had enough shots. So what advice would you have for someone who maybe didn't get their last booster shot in 2022? People are saying, I've had enough shots. So what advice do you have to tell them? What are you going to do to get them to get more shots? It hasn't killed them yet. Yeah, now this becomes a little complicated
Starting point is 01:15:54 because if you're over the age of 65 or immunocompromised, you are eligible for a second bivalent booster. I took it a few months ago. The issue is now there's likely to be a fall XBB booster for the currently circulating variants available sometime in the fall. The problem is I can't tell you when, whether fall means September, October, November.
Starting point is 01:16:17 So the conservative thing to do would be to still get that bivalent booster if you're eligible. The good news is the vaccine is working this is the good news i mean yeah i don't know what those long covid people are they've got covid they got covid really long but there can't be anything to do with the with the vaccine the vaccine is working health officials in georgia are sounding the alarm after a rare death from what is known as the brain-eating amoeba. It's working. It's working. It's working.
Starting point is 01:16:49 The brain-eating amoeba's back. It's back, everybody. It's not the vaccine. It's a brain-eating amoeba. The unidentified victim is believed to have become infected while swimming in a freshwater lake or pond. A Las Vegas toddler died from the amoeba earlier this month. Swimmers are urged to prevent warm freshwater from going up their nose. Yeah. How many years have we been hearing this thing? The flesh-eating amoeba is an old standard.
Starting point is 01:17:18 Been around for a while. That and the flesh-eating bacteria. Brain-eating amoeba and flesh-eating eating bacteria which we haven't heard much from recently no now i like the the hotep coming back to get more jabs into people because they obviously they haven't had enough shots so but uh you know you should put the getting over vaxxed uh in ined in the same category as trying to kill everybody. First, you're trying to sterilize the kids. Let's do that for starters. With the parents' consent.
Starting point is 01:17:55 And then the tranq is good. Yep, tranq is good now. Free pipes. Hey, free crack pipes and everything for everyone. We're on track. We're doing good. My favorite thing is they denied giving away the free crack pipes and everything for everyone. We're on track. We're doing good. My favorite thing is they denied giving away the free crack pipes. Yeah, that's the best part.
Starting point is 01:18:10 And then somebody opened a package. Oh, look, there it is. Oh, I guess we weren't giving it away. And then bring in people from other countries like Russia and Venezuela and make them cops. This is groovy. Make them cops. Defund the police. Does anybody think something fishy is going on?
Starting point is 01:18:26 And so I've been, a lot of people have been sending me interesting studies about Alpha Gal, which, I mean, you just have to admit that the Alpha Gal stuff, the way it was blanketing the airwaves that, oh, it's the lone star tick. Yeah, that's what's making people not able to eat meat now a couple things there this is real people have had this alpha gal allergy they've had it as far back as the 90s it's not it's not that it's not real um it's a little unclear i can't really find any could have come from plum island there's no real studies that i've found that show how exactly the lone star tick splices a gene that then interacts with with mammalian uh meat but i
Starting point is 01:19:16 i'm i'm totally willing to believe this i'm not i'm not anti-science but when i read studies and these are all from nih um this is an older these are all older which is always fun to see um this is from 2016 ticks may cause allergic reaction to red meat and shingles vaccine so now i'm just wondering you know what what is this alpha gal well alpha gal has been used as the way you phrase that i didn't understand what you said you can say you says that the tick is going to cause allergic allergic reaction to meat and and the shot shingles vaccine because because alpha-gal is used as an adjuvant in vaccinations. And let me explain adjuvant. Well, I know what it means. But not everybody knows that.
Starting point is 01:20:12 Let's explain it again. The way vaccines typically work is you get a shot, the way it used to be before mRNA, and the shot would contain an attenuated or dead version of the virus. And there was always something else, like a hamburger helper, in the shot, which is known as an adjuvant, which would aggravate your immune system. So it would pay attention to the dead virus.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And this is only new, because in the the olden days when I was a kid, they didn't use adjuvants because they had enough dead virus to give you the shot. This is a way of cheapening, like you said, hamburger helper, a way of cheapening, making a stretching,
Starting point is 01:20:58 stretching the product. So the... It's like filler. The big controversy was mercury, which is still used as an adjuvant the body i thought mercury is only used as a preservative okay uh this is why people hate robert f kennedy jr because this is what he fought against for many years as he believes that i believe and i think still believes that the adjuvant use of mercury was causing autism. So leave that as it may.
Starting point is 01:21:31 It turns out alpha-gal is a fantastic product as an adjuvant because the body responds violently to it. And this may, so when you, let's say somehow this tick has put this stuff in your body, and then you get the shingles vaccine, which contains alpha-gal, you know, then you have an anaphylactic response. Enter the next study. Anaphylaxis after zoster vaccine, implicating alpha-gal allergy as a possible mechanism.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Zoster vaccine is shingles. Is that shingles as well? Yeah, no, it is shingles. That is the vaccine. No, it's MMR. No, MMR is measles, mumps,
Starting point is 01:22:22 rubella. I know, I'm reading the study. Oh, subsequent, I'm sorry. Subsequent testing of selected vaccines revealed the presence of alpha-gal allergen in MMR and zoster vaccines. You're right. So the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine and the zoster, which is the shingles vaccine.
Starting point is 01:22:40 So they've been putting this alpha-gal stuff into vaccines as an adjuvant and now people are having allergic reactions to it. There's also some... Well, how about this for an idea? The chick is bullcrap. It's these shots that are giving people meat allergies. Now let's go back to 2016.
Starting point is 01:22:59 This is bioethicist Matthew Liao. We've played this clip before. We played it in a context of evil World Economic Forum ghouls. But when you think that this came out in 2016 and what we're seeing now, and particularly in combination with vaccines, that they use this stuff in the vaccines, this clip becomes pretty relevant. But if they have a weakness of will, they say, wow, this steak is just too juicy. I can't do it.
Starting point is 01:23:25 I'm one of those, by the way. So, you know, but so here's the thought, right? So it turns out that we know a lot about, so we have these intolerance to, so I, for example, I have milk intolerance. And there's some people are intolerant to crayfish. So possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we're intolerant to certain kinds of meat, to certain kinds of bovine proteins. And there's actually analogs of this in life. There's this thing called the long star tick, where if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat. I can sort of describe the mechanism. So that's something that
Starting point is 01:24:00 we can do through human engineering. We can kind of possibly address really big world problems through human engineering so the whole idea that he had there was why don't we engineer humans through the same process uh of the lone star tick i never heard of this horrible a slew of people who couldn't eat red meat in 2016 and why don't we just do that because then we'll save the planet this is all about climate change did they actually do it and i didn't get this shot so i can still eat my meat i'm eating my meat i'm eating your meat that's so good so they're they're insane. Possibly. Well, there's a possibility. Now, I've discovered one other thing. We need to take a break. This is a good bit, by the way.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Thank you. I'm very proud of myself. Because some people got really mad at me. This is so simple, man. This is how it works. It's a tick. And I said, okay, that's fine. But I'm seeing all of these vaccines that contain alpha-gal in a gelatin form used as an adjuvant.
Starting point is 01:25:09 I'm just reading the science. It says it right there. There are other adjuvants. You don't have to use that one. No, go back to mercury. We can be autistic, but at least we can eat a burger. Let's keep it American, people. Now, one other little bullcrap story that was
Starting point is 01:25:26 uncovered thank you very much producers on the last show we you know the the big hype about oh it's the heat domes everybody's dying it's climate change global warming global boiling okay a couple things one uh greece has now said yeah, most of those fires in Greece were started by humans. What? Not by climate change? I'm shocked. Italy, which also had a lot of fires because of climate change, is now deploying drones to catch arsonists in the act because it seems to be that it's humans setting the fires. And then we had this report, which we couldn't figure out. This morning, the record-smashing heat wave is expanding. Triple-digit temperatures are possible in the Plains and Midwest in the coming days,
Starting point is 01:26:13 from Wichita to Minneapolis. And by week's end, temperatures near 100 for Chicago. We got smoke, we got heat, then we got storms in the forecast all for the week ahead. Doctors warn this heat can take a toll on your heart. a new study finds the soaring temperatures combined with poor air quality can double your risk of suffering a deadly heart attack in arizona it's the pavement causing a surge in patients at the phoenix burn center remember this we're like what what people are getting burned on the pavement what what do you what is wrong with you suggesting they're walking around barefoot why we have just been seeing a huge spike in the number of people with contact burns.
Starting point is 01:26:48 Huge spike in the number of people with contact burns in Arizona. Okay. Most people don't realize that the pavement, concrete, cement, sidewalks, rocks, the temperature of those surfaces can get to be 170 to 180 degrees, which is just a little bit below the boiling temperature of water. So it only takes a fraction of a second to get to be 170 to 180 degrees, which is just a little bit below the boiling temperature of water. So it only takes a fraction of a second to get a really bad burn. Okay, so now we have, so this was confusing to me. By climate change, I mean, we all knew when I was growing up in the 70s, you don't walk outside with bare feet, you might stick to the
Starting point is 01:27:21 melting tar on the road. This was in Maryland. I remember this. We would play with the tar because it was melting. But for some reason, we have an increase in people coming into the hospital with flesh burns from climate change. Well, thank God, James Harris is boots on the ground in Phoenix, Arizona. I think he's Phoenix. And he explains exactly how climate change is doing this. The big story in Phoenix right now is that we had like over 200 people die because of the heat. That's what we're being told. Heat deaths. Heat-related deaths.
Starting point is 01:28:01 And so we had a big summit with President Biden and with Mayor Kay Gallego, and they were talking about all the things they can do to curb the climate crisis that we have. They're talking about planting a billion trees in the desert. Also, they're going to have mobile cooling stations and set cooling stations and a home heating office. And they're going to go around and they're going to make sure that the workers have mandated water breaks. All of this because it's hot in the desert in July. Will I have a better idea? Why don't we tell the truth about the people who are dying in the streets here?
Starting point is 01:28:37 They're the homeless. And why are they dying? Because they are on fentanyl. And when they get all drugged out, they lay on the hot asphalt. And if you lay on asphalt when it's 114 degrees and you don't get up, you're going to die. That has been the bulk of the heating deaths in Tucson. And they're using those people to push their global climate warming, climate change agenda. It's despicable, but that's what Democrats do.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Okay, I didn't need the last bit. But yes. That's what Democrats do. You could I didn't need the last bit. But yes. That's what Democrats do. You could have turned it up a little bit. It was low. Yeah. So that's what those deaths are. The deaths are the same zombified, tranked out people who are homeless and burning alive.
Starting point is 01:29:19 Their flesh is rotting and they're burning alive. But no climate change. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, on that happy note. Well, before you go, before you go to that, this is wrong climate. I do have one clip, just as kind of a counter-programming clip. Okay, please.
Starting point is 01:29:38 Surprising. I think it was on Democracy Now!, which is kind of surprising. But this is the problem you're going to end up with eventually. At some point, the liberal progressives are going to have to, you know, you've got to fork in the road. Fork in the road ahead. Which way are we going to go?
Starting point is 01:29:55 This is climate. Lithium in Argentina. In Argentina, thousands of people representing different indigenous communities arrived in Buenos Aires Tuesday as part of a protest caravan. Among their demands is a halt to lithium mining projects in their territories. This is Fabian Cruz of the Huancamaki Indigenous People Council. These common resources of the people, we want to protect them. We understand there are multinational companies that come and take the lithium from Argentina, but leave nothing behind. They leave nothing for Argentina's development,
Starting point is 01:30:26 and they strip the communities of their territory. To us, that is genocide. Lithium is used in many electric devices, including electric cars, but its extraction causes soil degradation, water shortages, damage to ecosystems, and often displaces local communities and destroys existing landscapes. And it's destroying a fine American institution known as the ford motor company because no one wants these things they don't work well in the heat they don't work well in the cold no if it gets too cold it won't
Starting point is 01:30:57 start it won't work but i know here in america we're merkins but Americans. I know we'll figure this out. We'll look around. We'll wake up one day and go, oh, wait a minute. We should choose people who actually represent us and care about us. But in the meantime, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the trance, anarchism. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only, Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Good morning, Ships, U-Boosts, and Rafi, and the Air Sub's in the water. It Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
Starting point is 01:31:26 Good morning, Ships, U-Boosts, and Rafi, and the Air Subs and the Warden. James and I sat there. And in the morning, the trolls in the troll room. Joke out. Zipping 20. Where are the trolls? I think the trolls are burning up on the sidewalks.
Starting point is 01:31:42 2039. 2039. 2039. It's above average. It's above the average. And we're always happy to have our trolls here. And remember, during the segment where we talk about donations, we always have a special interview with our guest of the day and the Powerball number. So you may want to stay tuned.
Starting point is 01:32:02 And there is some hilarity to discuss. Now, did you see that email that came in this morning probably not the from peter funding question he had funding question hold on a second let me bring this uh it was it was it's too bad it came in at 12 15 my time and now for some reason my email won't load of course why would it um because he's new and i guess he has not yet heard of value for value how it works value for value is a concept we pioneered almost 16 years ago now and the reason for that um was because we knew we could never take any commercials on this show. Commercials is,
Starting point is 01:32:47 but you might as well just self censor yourself. You okay? Yeah. I, I, you're hanging in with us. Um, well,
Starting point is 01:32:58 that's interesting. That whole email seems to have gone away. I got it. No, I got it. Here it is. Um, and so we decided that instead of you know like
Starting point is 01:33:06 patreon saying you've got to subscribe to a subscription you've got to be on a on a program he said you know what maybe maybe this wasn't the show for you maybe you're like you know whatever maybe you get great value from it we can't tell we also can't tell what value means to you so whatever that means to you so whatever that means to you whatever your personal situation send that value back to us and the keep saying with due respect with due respect with dues this means that he's got no respect are you talking about this guy yeah pete in oakland well i'll get to that in a moment well you started with it no but i'm setting up to the reading of the note
Starting point is 01:33:45 okay hey come on man who's sick who's opening the segment here well i thought you were i thought you were somewhere else in the overall of a kind of timeline i thought you were further along well i'm explaining it to this guy peter because he clearly doesn't understand and i'll read his note and it's a friendly note. I don't think so. Hey, Adam and John, another Rogan transplant to no agenda, which I've become an even bigger fan of than Rogan's podcast. Well, hello.
Starting point is 01:34:13 That's very kind of you. As always, at one time speed. I mean, so he's not nuts. But he's also listened to the show for a while because we only talked about one time speed like months and months ago. Yes, so he has been around. Good deconstruction. I've got a question regarding you guys funding requests at the end of each podcast. That I find interesting because he's clearly skipping the donation segment if he's only
Starting point is 01:34:37 hearing it at the end of each podcast. And wonder what he's hearing at the end. He just hears donate to no agenda. Maybe that's it. I mean this with all due respect. Boom. Since I love no agenda and I have the utmost respect for both of you guys. Boom. But aren't the
Starting point is 01:34:53 both of you individually pretty well off financially? What? What is that supposed to mean? This is what I find interesting. Somehow we're supposed to do volunteer work and deplete our savings to zero? I think it's the spend down program. That's right.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Start a podcast, die poor. It's a good idea. So more power to you if you are, but if that's the case, why ask for funding at the end of each podcast? He said it again, end of the podcast. We don't ask for funding at the each of at the end of each podcast he said it again end of the podcast we don't ask for money at the end of the podcast we ask it right in the middle boom right in your face right now this is not the end of the face he says i'm probably now now he goes on to understand the value of the show he says i'm probably wrong in my presumption here yes and definitely appreciate the lack of sponsors on the show. Lack? It's called absence. There's no sponsors.
Starting point is 01:35:47 There's no sponsors. It probably costs a lot more to create each podcast that I'm aware of due to that. Wait, wait. Does he imply that if you have sponsors, the creation costs of the show are a fixed price. It's a fixed cost. Yes. It wouldn't vary with sponsors. No, it's Adam and John's time, which we spend all of our live long days doing this.
Starting point is 01:36:14 Bandwidth and whatever else. That's all fixed costs. That's not something that fluctuates. It's worse than that. The more people that listen, the more money we spend to, we spend, you know, technically on, on bandwidth. That's the problem with podcasting. True.
Starting point is 01:36:30 So, but that's not the idea of value for value. I mean, do you walk into a store and say, you know, well, actually that may, you know what,
Starting point is 01:36:39 maybe that's it because people walk into stores all the time. And I'll go, you know, these guys got enough money. It's a public company. I'm just going to take this. That's what they're doing in San Francisco. That's my point.
Starting point is 01:36:48 This is what's happening. This is where this guy's thinking is. Yeah, this is shoplifting. This guy's basically from the perspective of a shoplifter. He's a podcast shoplifter right here. Yeah. He says, it probably costs a lot more to create each podcast. Do you know how much, like, let me just give it, how much a lot more to create each podcast. Do you know how much, um,
Starting point is 01:37:05 like, uh, let me just give it how much a car costs to make. It's less than you think. How about clothing? How about, how about a Yeezy? There we go.
Starting point is 01:37:13 Let's talk about Yeezy. A Yeezy sneaker probably costs $5 to make. Not if it was a one-off. No, but they're not one-offs. Okay. Podcastsoffs. Okay. The podcasts are. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:29 You're going beyond the sale here. Hold on. Okay, sorry. So it costs $5 to make. You can't buy it for under $500 in the store, and they're so valuable, which is all in the eye of the beholder, that you can not buy them for under thousands of dollars
Starting point is 01:37:44 if they're a special kind or or not used etc so you know it's not about the cost and all we've ever said is we just want to be able to pay our rent that's all and that's pay the bills pay the bills and we've been able to do that and we're very very happy it's sometimes it's a little unnerving when because it's a seesaw because indeed we have to remind people which is why we also send the newsletter to remind people that we have a show coming and that we need that supported by the people who we actually call producers so i'm just giving them a little education here yeah okay and uh but he said he even goes on to say it says all of the other podcasts I listen to annoyingly do have breaks in their shows. Again, just asking with all due respect.
Starting point is 01:38:31 No, due respect would be sending us five dollars or whatever. Five bucks would be all I'd be asking. That's about the respect you're giving us is more like a buck fifty right now. No, it's zero. He said, I'd like to stop being a douchebag and start regularly contributing to the show but that's just a thought i've been having pop up during these funding segments i wonder what he's heard first of all have we ever said fund this show i don't think i know a fund oh he's from oakland oh okay always a fan he says yeah he's from Oakland. Oh, okay. Oh, he's a fan, he says.
Starting point is 01:39:06 Yeah, he's an Oaklander. He probably robs the mailman there. That's what they're doing now in Oakland. They're robbing the mailman? No. Oh, it's a huge scandal in Oakland. You can't be, if you're a, letter carriers are getting mugged and the Oakland police can't seem to do anything about it because there's nobody working there anymore
Starting point is 01:39:23 because they defunded the police. Yeah. And then they got no cops and they're asking for 500 more cops after defunding. And then the same thing's happening all over California. Also, I will note that in our funding model, in our funding model. Funding. In our funding model, there's no increase for inflation. Now, you can look at all the prices in the in the grocery store
Starting point is 01:39:48 you're shoplifting from those prices have gone up significantly um we are we our income has only dropped since covid because of inflation because of inflation our real income yeah no but even the numbers just the top line numbers have decreased. Well, this is true because we had a bonanza during COVID. Because people clearly were home and thought there was a lot of value. And now they're- Now they're like, eh. Now they're like this guy.
Starting point is 01:40:20 Like poor Pete here, who's, with all due respect, Pete. Pete the shoplifter. Pete the podcast shoplifter. he's a podcast shoplifter anyway we we appreciate all the value we receive from the producers of no agenda nation and that can come in the form of time talent or treasure treasure is important we need to pay the bills and And we're still getting by. So we're very grateful. But if everybody chipped in, like the Democrats, what is it? What's that blue thing? Act Blue.
Starting point is 01:40:54 Always asking you to chip in. Chip in. Chip in. If you chip in, then we wouldn't even have to have a funding segment. I like that, by the way. Funding segment. Funding. And lots of people chip in in other ways.
Starting point is 01:41:10 One of the ways of your time and talent is our artists. Now, we know from experience and from actual facts, statistical fact, that the artwork that is always different for each No Agenda episode, it reminds people there's a show it brings them to the show it's great for hitting people in the mouth and people go hey what is this this is a cool image and and then this is how we bring people in more people the more chance we have of maybe getting someone to help us in the funding segment at the end of the show so nestworks really did a beautiful piece about the alpha gal speaking of uh and had it all just all the bits the new kid on the block it was a dynamite piece it was
Starting point is 01:41:55 vibrant it really popped um it just everything about it was good although Although there was an angry Twitter thread because, you know, so this tweet went out and then some joker, you know, of course, probably didn't listen to the show. And what alpha gal, oh, that chick needs a bulge in her pants thinking that it was a trans thing. Well, that started off a whole thread of angry people. Well, that's just a thread of angry douchebags. I don't know what they're talking about. No, I'm just saying that's what it is. And we want to thank all of the artists, actually, who contribute to this contest.
Starting point is 01:42:35 Let me look at the leaderboard right now. Right now, Tantanil is number one in the top ten from the past year. Nestworks, number two. And they're neck and neck. They are. Well, it's 14, 13, 12, Capital. Nestworks, number two. And they're neck and neck. They are. Well, it's 14, 13, 12. Capitalist Agenda, number three. And Nico Syme trails by a whole horse length with nine.
Starting point is 01:42:54 Dennis Dame, Kenny Benzer, Paul Couture, correct the record. Dirty Jersey Whore, brand new entry this year, along with Parker Pauly. Coming up the rear. Coming up the rear. Parker Pauly. He's coming up Dirty Jersey Wh parker paulie he's coming up dirty dirty jersey horse rear that's right um so let's see what else we looked at that did not get chosen not that it was
Starting point is 01:43:12 not worthy it just we have to make a choice um mike riley who we like as an artist he's a real uh he's a real comic artist and he was desperately trying to put together Africa, Russia with a mask. It just didn't work. I mean, I can't say much more than it just was a good piece, but it just didn't work.
Starting point is 01:43:38 Honorary mention for comic strip blogger, always, always with a butt. He had a dog nose I thought was quite the dog yeah you actually like the the dog nose but uh considering i cut the entire basset basset hound break out of the show because that's that's only for people who listen to the live stream didn't think it was appropriate uh dame kenny ben with a hail Hail Mary with a random cheesecake girl. Totally a Hail Mary.
Starting point is 01:44:14 Yeah, it was cheesecake-y, and it does look like it was part of AI to me. That looks like an AI piece. Yeah, we are getting a little irked by the AI stuff. It's getting a little obvious. If we identify it, we will. And I can identify it. Adam can identify it. Generally speaking, if I can identify it. Adam can identify it. Generally speaking, if you get it by us, okay, great. Good work.
Starting point is 01:44:30 Yeah, good work. We're still looking for it. Yeah. I kind of like Quake It Off with Taylor Swift, the World Destruction Tour. You nixed that right away. Probably rightfully so. Yeah, she doesn't need any more publicity from anyone there was some alien stuff that didn't quite work uh people trying to do more more
Starting point is 01:44:53 africa i appreciate the the efforts to try and get africa into the artwork but just not really working we had had a couple of Lone Star ticks. No, this piece was the only piece that had everything going on. It really was. It wasn't a big art. There was no debate about it. No, it just popped. I mean, you just look at this thing like, bam, it's in your face.
Starting point is 01:45:21 And in its own way, a little cheesecakey, I'd say. A little bit. In its own way. So congratulations, Nestworks. Thank you very much. We appreciate the support. It makes a difference, and it is a fantastic way to participate as a producer of the No Agenda show,
Starting point is 01:45:35 and that is what we call all of you who participate. And we, again, we really appreciate that. Now, let's go to the talent portion of our competition.

I took my shirt off one day to shower up and I had a fat tick feeding away on my life juices. We got rid of it. And about a day later, a big red ring appeared around the bite area. This is typical of tick bites. I was treated for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and told I would be fine.

Oh, what a bummer. No pork, no beef, et cetera. You get my point. I eat chicken always, and I'm forced to take vitamin B12 injections two times a month, seeing as I can't get it in my diet.

Starting point is 02:07:52 was a lot of stuff but go to sonypreviews.com and you can find some free movies to go to but uh so yeah it was free so we go in it's the a big IMAX screen. It's quite nice. The story is phenomenal. This Gran Turismo story, which is a true story. It's based on a true story, right? It's unbelievable. It's going to be two things. One, besides it being just a terrifically done movie, I think it's going to be seen as one of the great race movies
Starting point is 02:08:24 because there's all these movies as well. A race movie comes out. This has got to be seen as one of the great race movies because there's all these movies where a race movie comes out this has got to be one of them and no matter how many times you say unbelievable he's not giving you a bit part I'm just letting you know I already gave up on that just more free tickets so
Starting point is 02:08:39 it's about a kid who was really talented at playing. There was a couple of things in there. I like the timeline of this story because they mention Uber and looking at a phone in the backseat of Uber. It's in the script, and I'm thinking, I don't think this is in the right timeline, but okay. but it's about a kid who got so good at playing a video game that Nissan took him under their wings and taught him to be a real race car driver, which he became under the tutelage of a very skeptical trainer,
Starting point is 02:09:18 and the kid ended up winning Le Mans. Yes, yeah, it's a cool story. Now, did he produce the movie? Yeah, he was a producer, one of the two producers. It's a cool story. Did he produce the movie? Yeah, he's a producer. One of the two producers. Oh, okay. Big. So when does this movie come out? I think it's the 11th or the 21st of August. Well, and when is the...
Starting point is 02:09:35 I'd recommend it. It's worth... And I don't like movies. So here's what's happening. Since he can't have his cast promote the movie because of the strike, they're not allowed to. Right. He's now resorted to the No Agenda show to promote it through podcasts. Yes, he has.
Starting point is 02:09:55 And I did. Just as planned. We're very proud of him. Dana Brunetti, not to be confused with Dana Brownetti, who did Fifty Shades of Gay. The Troll Room is incorrect. Different movie, different guy. It's too bad.
Starting point is 02:10:15 I think that other guy works for Trudeau. The Canadian. Because Tina and I would have loved to have come to the red carpet premiere. Although we've never been invited to any of his red carpet premieres.'m just saying has he actually done a movie since we know him this is his last movie and of course he comes out at the beginning and he says this is my last movie ever i quit yeah yeah he does keep doing that doesn't he this is like a bit it's like a it's like a bit. It's like a stick. It's good. I think it's good. I think it's good. Ah. Okay. Let's do a little Africa.
Starting point is 02:10:51 Because some stuff has been happening. Let's get an update on this Niger coup. A senior State Department official tells us the U.S. does not believe Progozhin is behind the coup in Niger. What? Oh yeah. We've already moved Russia into position. It's all Putin. Putin is doing it. Putin is doing it. Where today the
Starting point is 02:11:15 president was seen publicly for the first time since being ousted. Prigozhin, of course, for people who don't know, is a hot dog boy known as the CEO and the leader of the Wagner Group. Our Courtney Kuby is the only U.S.-based journalist inside Niger. Tonight, the first glimpse of Niger's democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum. Not seen since last week after a coup.
Starting point is 02:11:40 Bazoum smiling, meeting with the leader of Chad, who's now trying to mediate in Niger after several West African countries called on the coup leaders to give up power. The minute we acknowledge it's a coup, law states that we can no longer send humanitarian aid to Niger, which probably would be uncomfortable for some. But here's NBC just calling it a coup. Coup leaders to give up power, warning them to release President Bazoum in the next week or face possible military action. Such measures may include the use of force. or face possible military action. Such measures may include the use of force. Over the weekend, thousands took to the streets of the capital here,
Starting point is 02:12:31 mostly peaceful, supporting the coup. Some waving Russian flags, chanting, long live Russia. Though violence erupted outside the French embassy, crowds burning a door and throwing rocks at windows, chased off by tear gas before they could breach the outer walls. Tonight, the coup leaders have not responded to the ultimatum, vowing to defend Niger from aggression, accusing France of planning a military intervention. Both France and the U.S. have military bases here in Niger.
Starting point is 02:13:04 Adding to the tensions, should the U.S. designate this as a coup, more than $400 million in U.S. aid and military training would immediately be at risk. Any questions? Eroding years of U.S.-Nigerian partnership training to combat terror groups here. And we have boots on the ground from Niger, which is always nice from one of our producers. I am in the Iowa Air National Guard, serve as the deputy fire chief. I was deployed to Agandes, Niger in 2017 to 2018. So this is the setup. Let's see what the United States is actually doing in there. You didn't hear this on CBS or NBC.
Starting point is 02:13:39 We landed in Niamey, probably Niger, October 4th, 2017. As the Tongo Tongo ambush was happening. Pretty intense situation. The base was quickly flooded with Quick Reaction Force, QRFs, special forces personnel for a rescue slash recovery mission. Anyways, our mission at AB 201, that would be Air Force Base, was to build a runway in the middle of africa why were we building this base we were told it was a mix of terrorism human trafficking and to get a stronghold in the region before china could now the way this is written i i wonder if the human trafficking is because we were human trafficking through your air base fyi there were also uranium mines nearby this project was a giant waste of
Starting point is 02:14:29 taxpayer money a disaster i could go on and on with stories about this place but one quick one a couple rotations after we left there was a fire chief from a wisconsin ang unit there he said they sent him and a couple others into the local village to buy goats because they weren't even getting food shipments. This base was a logistical nightmare. I've included some articles you might find interesting to shed some light on our involvement. And he says he can send me a redacted proof that it was him, but you don't have to. He is anonymous, of course, and we believe you. I completely believe you were there.
Starting point is 02:15:04 So there you go. It was to thwart China. Now we see that report was very interesting, that it's not like Russia has done this coup, which was mentioned, I think, eight times in the report. Coup, coup leaders, coup, coup, coup, coup, coup. But it seems like they want the Russians in there. Let's talk to a spook and find out what's really going on. Here's Richard Engel. In Ukraine, Russian troops are battling an intensifying Ukrainian offensive.
Starting point is 02:15:34 And doing it without some of their most experienced troops. Mercenaries from the Wagner Group are off the battlefield after their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, launched a short-lived mutiny. Putin branded Prigozhin, once a trusted aide, a traitor, but then cut a deal with him. The potential reasons why are now becoming more clear. Tonight, Prigozhin posted that Wagner troops are, for the moment, in Belarus awaiting orders. And video from Belarus shows the mercenaries training special forces. Poland, a NATO ally across the border, is on high alert, just in case. But Africa seems to be Prigozhin's main focus now. We reported how Wagner, in coordination
Starting point is 02:16:20 with the Kremlin, props up weak African leaders, including the president of the Central African Republic, in exchange for control of gold and diamond mines. Just last week, Putin hosted 17 African leaders in Russia, and on hand to greet them was Prigozhin, who says his network in Africa is expanding. Prigozhin challenged Putin and embarrassed him. But it seems as long as Wagner is still in business and still making money in Africa, an accommodation is being worked out. OK, I think you and I both consider Richard Engel to be a spook reporter. He's a mouthpiece for sure. So here's what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 02:17:03 We're sending hot dog boy, the focus of ukraine the focus the the number one focus now now now now he's in africa everything going on in africa is all putin's fault it's all the hot dog boy it's all putin's guy and this war in ukraine end. And we got a little taste of what's coming. Elsewhere overseas, Saudi Arabia is the latest country to express an interest in trying to settle the war in Europe. The Saudi kingdom announced over the week. Notice the term war in Europe? Yes, it stuck out like a sore thumb. The Saudi kingdom announced over the week.
Starting point is 02:17:44 What reporter is this? This is Willie Geist on the Morning Joe show, MSNBC. And trying to settle the war in Europe. The Saudi kingdom announced over the weekend that it will host a peace summit next month to begin talks on a way to end the conflict. Now, Russia is not invited, but the Associated Press reports that Brazil, India, South Africa, and several other
Starting point is 02:18:09 countries are. The AP cites a high-level U.S. official saying a representative from the Biden administration is expected to attend the event. Okay, so how are we going to keep everything kind of... Now, what event is this again? The peace talks. The Saudis are putting together peace talks.
Starting point is 02:18:26 In Saudi Arabia? I don't think he... Did he say where? Let's listen to that again. Elsewhere over... Let me listen. Let me listen again. The AP cites a high-level... Now, Russia is... To begin talks on a way
Starting point is 02:18:42 to end the conflict. Now, Russia is not invited, but the Associated Press reports that Brazil, India, South Africa, and several other countries are. So basically the BRICS are invited, but not Russia. Oh, maybe they're doing it at the BRICS conference. Maybe that's where they're doing it. The AP sites say high level. The BRICS conference, Russia is invited. It's just that Putin can't go.
Starting point is 02:19:03 He's not going, yes. West official saying a representative from the biden administration is expected to attend the event so we're moving everything away we're going to try and get some peace going there was a sad uh let me see where was this a kind of a sad note for uh for our boy uh zelensky um. The Jerusalem Post wrote an article. What happens in Ukraine if President Zelensky is assassinated? Oh my God, you're kidding. No.
Starting point is 02:19:33 That is like a shot over the bow. Under Ukraine's constitution, the transition of power would default to the chairman of Ukraine who would absorb the responsibilities. But the Jerusalem Post goes on to say, when the president, a source, oh, this is interesting. This, by the way, was, oh, wow, this is even crazier. This is Jerusalem Post. When the president is unable to fulfill his duties, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, that's their parliament, takes over his responsibilities, said Mikola Knezetitsky, an opposition lawmaker from the western city of Lviv, according to Politico. So Politico is now on this as well.
Starting point is 02:20:21 Therefore, there would be no power vacuum. However, the source reported not all Ukrainians may be so supportive of such a backup plan as Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk has a trust rating of only 40% in the opinion polls. So under the circumstances... Please.
Starting point is 02:20:38 So listen to this. So under the circumstances that Zelensky is assassinated, the Ukrainian government would likely be headed by Stefan Chuk as a figurehead, the head of the president's office, Andriy Yermak, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, and Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov. Dude, walking dead, man. Well, we predicted this or or we didn't predict anything
Starting point is 02:21:09 we mentioned this possibility a while back probably a year ago when we had that one show art that had him in the clouds with the uh assassination attempts against zelensky have increased rapidly over the course of the war. We don't know this. No, that's what it says here. I know, but again, it's like you introduce non-standard facts to make them facts. But wait. And so it doesn't become a surprise when it happens.
Starting point is 02:21:39 Assassination attempts against Zelensky have increased rapidly over the course of the war. Zelensky's advisor Mikhail Podolyak said in March 2022, according to Politico. Wow. As the Jerusalem Post reported at the time, one week of March saw three attempts made against Zelensky's life by Wagner forces. Well, there you go. Wagner assassinates Zelensky. Wagner moves down so we get these new jamokes. That's not an assassination, technically, is it?
Starting point is 02:22:11 They're at war, and the Wagner group is on the side doing Russia's bidding, and they happen to kill the guy. Is that an assassination per se? No, but the Jerusalem Post is probably telling us Mossad is going to do it, I guess. And they'll blame it. Yeah, well, they write for them, so okay. They'll blame it on Wagner. Wagner moves to Africa. And then we tidy it all up with Poland.
Starting point is 02:22:36 And Poland has deployed troops to its eastern flank along the border with Belarus after Russia's closest ally allegedly violated its airspace. Warsaw says Belarusian military helicopters crossed into the country in the past few days. They also believe Wagner mercenaries are stationed in close proximity to Polish territory. They allegedly relocated there following an aborted mutiny in late June. Poland says they pose a threat to their national security. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says Warsaw is inventing the accusations june poland says they pose a threat to their national security belarusian president alexander lukashenko says warsaw is inventing the accusations to justify a build-up of troops close to the
Starting point is 02:23:12 border so that'll be the new front it'll be poland belarus poland uh you know that's that'll be the kind of the tension area we'll pay attention and z Zelensky is gone. I don't know anything about these jamokes that they're talking about. Yeah, the new guys. We got to look into these new guys. This whole thing stinks. Yeah. Yeah. Zelensky, you know, I hear Dallas is nice this time of year.
Starting point is 02:23:38 Well, he's been spending a lot of time out of the country, if you haven't noticed. Yeah. But I love how it'll be Wagner. I would spend even more time out of the country. I love how noticed yeah i but i love how it'll be i would spend more to even more time out of the country i love how he thinks it's gonna have the writing it's gonna be wagner of course of course wagner and then just by coincidence with all this stuff going on in africa what did you know we had a little conference in washington dc with africans the u.s secretary of state anthony blinken told young leaders from Africa Wednesday
Starting point is 02:24:05 that collaboration as equal partners is necessary to meet today's challenges of food security, preventing conflict, and combating climate change. Some of the brightest
Starting point is 02:24:14 young Africans, that idea is really at the heart of our approach towards sub-Saharan Africa. The approach is focused on what we can do with Africa, not for Africa. It reflects the incredible diversity and influence of the continent.
Starting point is 02:24:29 Wait. It's interesting if you listen, if you parse it a little differently than what he's what he's what it sounds like he's saying. What he's saying is not for Africa, but with africa like like we're going to be partners if you if you change the word use the word with as in something you own what am i going to do with this thing yeah what am i going to do with you you use it listen to him say that with it in mind that it's like a toy yeah what are we going to do with africa with them we're going to do with them and so he softens the blow by saying but by bringing in the four we're going to do for africa or with the no it's not that any of that it's like it's like we own the place or we're
Starting point is 02:25:17 supposed to or we're going to yeah yeah yeah our approach towards sub-saharan Africa. The approach is focused on what we can do with Africa, not for Africa. It reflects the incredible diversity and influence of the continent. It also recognizes the important role that young Africans especially have. Wait, stop again. Stopping again. But
Starting point is 02:25:38 it almost, it has to be what he means because he says we're not going to do anything, because he says we're not going to do anything because he says we're not going to do anything for Africa. I'm going to do it. Well, he's there with young African leaders. So what he's implying, I guess, at the time is how can we help you help yourself? Yes. What it sounds like to them because they're dumb because they're dumb. Because they're Africans. Also recognizes the important role that young Africans especially have in shaping our planet for generations to come. We're committed to working with young African leaders like you today and for years to come. So that together we have an opportunity to build a world that's a little bit more stable.
Starting point is 02:26:22 A little bit more resilient. A little bit more prosperous for all. A little bit. Hold on. Just a little bit. Sorry, this guy smacks his lips too much. It makes me want to stop the tape. But a little bit.
Starting point is 02:26:37 Now, Africa is loaded to the, everyone knows this, the Chinese for sure. Yeah, loaded. It's loaded to the gills with the riches. It's all kind of you're not going to get any if it's going to be a little more, a little, little, little more prosperous. If he was sincere, if there was actually trying to do some some good for Africa, he would say you're going to be a lot more prosperous because there's a lot of stuff there worth a lot of money. But no, no, it's going to be a little bit this is terrible we have an opportunity to build a world that's a little bit more stable a little bit more resilient a little bit more prosperous for all it made
Starting point is 02:27:17 the remarks at the closing ceremony of the mandela washington fellowship summit in washington and uh one more just interesting little tidbit that you probably didn't hear because of all the trump biden trump biden trump biden trump biden is what's happening in tunisia now we remember and we recall yeah the arab spring started in tunisia um now i think you and i believe that that was Hillary Clinton's techno experts that started that. They are now. You're calling turkeys and the ones here are responding. And it was over bread prices we were led to believe.
Starting point is 02:27:59 And now, France 24 brings us this little news bulletin. The Tunisian president, Caiz Saeed, has sacked Prime Minister Nacela Boudin. He did so without giving an explanation. The new Prime Minister is former central bank executive Ahmed Hashani. Local media have highlighted Saïd's displeasure over a number of shortages, including of bread. Okay. So we've kicked the guy out we fired the prime minister because the price of bread man and then they bring in the central banker so the economic hitmen are all
Starting point is 02:28:34 over this one something's up yeah rubbleization is on the way people something is indeed up with that. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I don't have anything from Africa, but I've got the rare update to Burma. Yeah, get the mic in front of you again. I'm sorry, I'm trying to find the sheet. I got the Burma update. It's from Amy. Burma's military rulers... Burma update from Amy. Burma update. It's from Amy. Burma's military update from Amy. Burma's military rulers granted deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi a pardon in five of the 19 cases against her. Suu Kyi was ousted
Starting point is 02:29:12 and detained in February 2021 military coup. She'll remain under house arrest. She's a Nobel Peace Prize winner who once fought against the Burmese military, but later defended its genocide of Rohingya Muslims in 2017. On Monday, the military junta again extended a state of emergency and delayed elections that have been promised to take place this month. A local rights group says over 3,800 people have been killed in the military's crackdown on post-coup protests and over 24,000 people arrested. Oh, brother. Got it control. It is. and over 24,000 people arrested. Oh, brother. Yeah. Out of control.
Starting point is 02:29:48 It is. Oh, and another thing here that I didn't mention, Burkina Faso. Complaining. The president of the transitional period of Burkina Faso. They're siding up with Nigeria, if I'm not mistaken. Uncontrolled supplies of Western weapons to Kiev have a negative impact on security in Africa, he said.
Starting point is 02:30:14 Yeah, because they're all going to Africa. He emphasized that this weaponry... The American public is... Stupid. He emphasized that this weaponry eventually ends up in Africa where terrorists acquire it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:25 Posing a significant danger. Well, your No Agenda show has been telling you that for quite a while now. Yes. It's so obvious. Yes. Can I go back to climate change for a moment? Because we missed an important day. I guess you missed something.
Starting point is 02:30:42 Well, there were two things. One is a sad day. Was it Earth Day? Did we miss Earth Day again? No, no. Earth Overshoot Day. Humanity has burned through Earth's annual budget for resources in under eight months, known as Earth Overshoot Day, to the 2nd of August.
Starting point is 02:30:59 What? It's not by presidential decree. I have not seen this anywhere. But it is Earth by presidential decree. I have not seen this anywhere, but it is Earth Overshoot. We just missed Earth Overshoot Day because we've burned through our budget. There's no more resources. Marks the date on which we've used up
Starting point is 02:31:16 all the resources that the planet can regenerate already in one year. This sounds like a big ball of hocked up hooey to me. This is bull crap. But there is good news. Oh, that's good news. Global boiling. Our annual budget roughly five days later than in 2022. Oh, we're
Starting point is 02:31:35 getting better. To tell us more, I was earlier joined by Francois Gemmene, researcher for the National Fund for Scientific Research. Well, basically, we're consuming way too many resources. Resources! Many more resources than the Earth can actually provide in one year, which means that if we continue living this way,
Starting point is 02:31:57 we will not be able to keep the Earth uninhabitable in the long run. If we want to see the glass half full, we can say that we've managed to stabilize this day over the past few years. If we want to see the glass half empty, we need to remember that this day ideally should be December 31st and not August 2nd. The most urgent thing is to move out of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels today continue to represent about 85% of our
Starting point is 02:32:31 energy budget, that is of the total of the energy that we produce on a daily basis. And this is clearly what is leading the world towards a climate change above 2 degrees per second. So, the top priority is certainly to move out of fossil fuels. I love the climate change.
Starting point is 02:32:51 Earth Overshoot Day, which you can find at overshootday.org, marks the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. sources and services in a given year exceeds what earth can regenerate in that year earth overshoot day is hosted and calculated by the global footprint network an international research organization that provides decision makers with a menu of tools to help the human economy operate within earth's ecological limits well isn't that interesting seems a bunch of bullcrap and something you know i want to just point out something for people it's interesting yeah i think there's like stock market people doing a lot of this stuff for sure and i want to discuss these just for a quick second uh the The price fluctuation of ExxonMobil.
Starting point is 02:33:45 Ooh, okay, there you go. When ExxonMobil, when Trump was in office and just before he got out, he made us energy independent. At the point Trump got in, it was the ExxonMobil was floating around 80 bucks a share.
Starting point is 02:34:01 When we got energy independent, it dropped down to 30 bucks. Biden got elected. And Biden's going to shut down this and he's going to shut down that. He's going to shut down the pipeline. What he did was create a supply and demand problem. The stock has gone since Biden got in from 30 bucks approximately to $107. Huh. And insiders are still buying it. Well, how does that work?
Starting point is 02:34:34 They should be dying because they're... You'd think. You're telling me this is a scam? It's a scam. Well, listen to this. Your No Agenda show once again. Years, maybe a decade ahead of the times. Germany now debating the need for siesta amid sizzling temperatures. Doctors recommend Germans take a midday break. It's here.
Starting point is 02:35:00 Nap for humanity. There you go. Nap for humanity. That that's right that's fantastic we are so ahead of the ball ahead of the ball ahead of the ahead of the ball we're on the ball ahead of the time ahead of the on top of the news ahead of the times um the final thing i have, which I did not know about. Have you heard of meat glue? Yes, I have. It's used in some restaurants. There was this report that I caught and a guy is demonstrating it and he mentions the compound used in this. And it's like a minute.
Starting point is 02:35:38 I want to play it. Yeah. So what you're seeing is the guy is taking bits and pieces and scraps from other things and using as a kind of, there's that word again, hamburger helper for filet mignon. And so you put this, you smash the meat in there with this glue and then, well, listen. It's the meat industry's dirty secret. then, well, listen. It's the meat industry's dirty secret. A way of turning the scraps too small to sell as a premium steak back into a juicy, plump eye fillet to sell for a premium price.
Starting point is 02:36:12 So clever, you'll never tell. Not even an expert can. I've just got some fine diced diced beef and my special enzyme. Just going to mix it up a bit. Why have we got the masks on? Because it's dangerous. See that? Don't breathe that in. This powder is transglutamase enzyme, otherwise known as meat glue.
Starting point is 02:36:37 Meat glues come in a number of forms, some produced by cultivating bacteria. The others, the primary ingredient, comes from the blood plasma of pigs and cattle. Specifically, the coagulant which causes blood to clot. In the food industry, it has amazing properties. So just get a little bit here, about a teaspoonful. Yep. Just over the top like that. And with our gloves on, of course, we mix it up.
Starting point is 02:37:02 Then roll it in plastic film and refrigerate six hours later you have a solid piece of meat essentially you've got a reborn rebirth i feel it more or less yeah and it's not just beef pork lamb fish and chicken are all stuck back together using this glue. I'm shocked. I think McNuggets and some of these fast food chicken nugget things are made with that stuff. But this stuff, it's dangerous to breathe in. Yeah, because it'll glue your lungs together or something, I guess. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:37:44 I've never played with it, but I know about it. And it's an enzyme transglutaminase. And you have to use gloves as well. Yeah, because it'll glue your fingers. It's glue. Hello. It's an adhesive, only it's an organic adhesive. I love this Healthline uh meat glue is a food
Starting point is 02:38:07 additive used to improve the texture and appearance of processed meats transglutaminase is safe but it's linked to higher increased risk of bacterial contamination may also worsen celiac disease or gluten sensitivity symptoms well that's interesting This has got to be in everything. Oh, is it? Well, you're buying your meat from that guy, the Texas cattle guy. Texas Slim. It's not in anything he does. No, beefinitiative.com.
Starting point is 02:38:35 Of course not. I'm not crazy. But this makes me sick. I would assume that fast food restaurants use it in all their chicken McNuggets. I would assume that fast food restaurants use it in all their chicken McNuggets. I would assume that a lot of hamburger chains would have it in the hamburgers, the formed patties, because they're a little too well-formed. And I guess you can do all kinds of things with it. I know that in some restaurants, they use it for certain kinds of, like if you make a beef wellington, you want the wrap-around meat or stuff wrapped around or the meat to be in one piece.
Starting point is 02:39:11 I'm not sure what you use it for. It has been suggested that the surge in people diagnosed with celiac disease may be linked to the increased use of transglutaminase in food. However, there is no scientific research directly linking transglutaminase to an increased risk of disease, although research in this area is ongoing. The FDA classifies transglutaminase as grass, generally recognized as safe, and the USDA deems the ingredient safe to use in meat and poultry products. and safe to use in meat and poultry products. The European Union has banned the use of transglutaminase in food since 2010 over safety concerns. Meat glue. People, meat glue. No.
Starting point is 02:39:55 Just no. No. No. That's disgusting. You knew this and you've withheld this from the group? It wasn't a withhold. It's disgusting. And you knew this? And you've withheld this from the group? I wasn't a withholder. It's just a fact.
Starting point is 02:40:10 I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda. In the morning. And we do have a few people to thank for show 1578, I believe, which is 200 years after 1778. Or before, actually. What am I thinking?
Starting point is 02:40:35 Chris Kraslinski. Start that over. Chris Kraslicki. Kraslicki. Kraslicki in Summit Hill, Pennsylvania starts us off at 15665 with a happy birthday to Graham.

Starting point is 02:55:41 That's so different, we're not going to do it. How about bye-bye? Bye-bye. Yeah. Done. I love that one. Bye-bye. Is that from NTD?
Starting point is 02:55:54 No, I can't remember. It's actually a classic. I like her. Bye-bye. I like that one. Bye-bye. That's cute. It was an evergreen.
Starting point is 02:56:02 It should be used more often. It's cute. Very cute. Do I have one last clip It should be used more often. It's cute. Very cute. Do I have one last clip? I have one last clip, too. Well, my clip is kind of funny. Okay. Well, then let me do my clip, because it's funny for us, but it's kind of funny. Do you recall what we learned years and years ago when Europe, the EU, decided that it would be best to thwart people from smoking by putting horrible images of disease on their cigarette packages?
Starting point is 02:56:42 Yeah. of disease on their cigarette packages yeah it's yeah and and what turns out people actually buy more they smoke more and they trade their packs like hey do you have emphysema yes i have some for you want to trade for a gangrene so the rotten teeth you got the gum disease these things do not work but canada did not get the memo canada has new regulations to deter smoking and they are a world first new rules take effect no they're not that require warning labels on individual cigarettes advocates hope that will give anyone pause before they puff albert del atala is here with us this morning to tell us what changes as of today. Good morning, Albert. Good morning, Heather.
Starting point is 02:57:29 People won't necessarily see the messages right away, but cigarette manufacturers have about a year to have warnings on all king-size cigarettes they sell. The new regulations from Health Canada are aimed at both helping smokers quit and deterring others from picking up the habit. Have a look at some of these messages. Warnings such as poison in every puff are printed on paper, the paper around the filter. They'll be written in English and French.
Starting point is 02:57:52 In terms of the timeline, as I mentioned, the king-sized cigarettes, they'll be labeled by the end of July of next year. Regular-sized cigarettes and little cigars with tipping paper and tubes will have to be labeled by the end of April of 2025. I just love the individual label poison in every puff. I mean, that's beautiful.
Starting point is 02:58:13 I'm telling you, I think you analyze this completely wrong. Oh, do tell. You say that the Canadians didn't get a clue. I think they did get a clue. They know the research. They need to sell more cigarettes. So they rolled out this idea and the stupid canadians bought into it i think we should also put meat glue in every bite
Starting point is 02:58:31 i mean that would be perfect for your nuggets so so my last clip is is biden going off about something and this is where he says he actually uses i think think he says, fighty fight. Hold on a second. Fighty fight? I'm honored to oversee the greatest fighting force, literally, not figuratively, in the history of the world, and that's not hyperbole. And I might add, the most diverse fighting force in the history of the world. I think he said fighty fight, fighty fight, fighty fight.
Starting point is 02:59:05 Oh, goodness. Well, I don't know what to say. Other than, we will be back on Sunday to bring you more of the madness. We are so happy to do it for you. Because we try to spin you down in this spun-up world. Remember to eat your meat glue and get your poison in every puff, everybody. And whatever you do, make sure you fight about Biden versus Trump. Otherwise, it's just no good.
Starting point is 02:59:37 Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, we've got the Millennial Media Offensive. You'll want to stay tuned for that. End of show mixes all Trump, the haters from Nostradamus, Leo LePuke, and a classic John and Adam Trump rotation clip coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six.
