Everybody's bitching about the chicken.
Adam Curry, John C. DeVora.
It's Sunday, July 7th, 2024.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination episode 1675.
This is No Agenda.
Scrutinizing the SCO and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where the July 4th fog rolled in right on time, ruining everything.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's crackpot and buzzkill.
In the morning.
You've got to be kidding me. It happened again?
Not only that. We all did dinner on the 4th of July here instead of Friday.
And we're looking out and JC was commenting, well, I guess there's not going to be any
fog finally because it was hot.
Oh, he jinxed it.
Because it was hot the day before and today and it was hot on the 4th.
And then around seven o'clock, a huge fog rolled in.
But the irony is because San Francisco,
to rather have people peeing on each other in public,
they didn't even have a fourth of July celebration to get ruined.
What do you mean?
There were no fireworks.
What?
And Berkeley didn't have fireworks either.
What? It's the unpatriotic new San Francisco Bay area. There were no fireworks. And Berkeley didn't have fireworks either.
It's the unpatriotic new San Francisco Bay area. The fireworks were in Richmond on the third.
That's un-American.
Well, hold on a second. Is there an explanation for this?
I didn't even know it was not going to happen. I just.
Well, okay. I mean that happens, but.
I'll tell you this, it sounded like a war zone though,
with Richmond and Oakland going off, you know, just individuals.
Well, I'll tell you out here,
we had maybe two like M80 type blasts go off before 10 o'clock and that was it.
I had the dog in her thunder shirt. I had her doped up on Benadryl, ready to go.
She raised her head like, whatever.
She's normally very nervous for this.
Nothing.
I talked to Sergene in Austin, same thing.
I got text message.
I got emails because we talked about it.
Almost no pre or post fireworks.
It has been a very quiet year, which is clear.
That to me is a massive economic indicator.
Well, you already said to me in the last show that there are fireworks stands all the way
from Austin to Fredericksburg, left and right every which way, so people would have been
buying fireworks, and it's legal, been buying fireworks and it's legal.
Unlike around here where it's not.
Well, the good news is that, uh, Sergene used to consult for a couple of these companies cause that those are
like $5 million a year businesses. These guys clean up on this stuff.
So he was going to call around for me. He hasn't gotten back to me yet.
He was going to call around and see if they took a total bath or what happened.
But yes, 290 between Austin and Fredericksburg, there must be nine firework stands.
They're like these big containers. They're year round. You can buy, not all year round,
I don't think, but there's obvious times when they're open, but it was just nothing. It was, it was unbelievable. We watched the DC fireworks on TV. It was, you know,
Well, that's pathetic.
And then the New York fireworks. There's nothing else. There was nothing here. I mean, I'm sure
that we didn't go out, of course, because of Phoebe, but I didn't hear anything that was going on.
Usually they have it at Ladybird Lake. So I'm sure they had fireworks, but no one had any stuff going on.
I mean, and we're pretty close to town, nothing.
And even the day after,
usually these people shooting some remnant stuff off,
none of it's, no, no, no.
This is, I think this is a,
along with your rule of thumb,
which is of course the sex workers,
they get better looking and cheaper.
I don't know if they get cheaper, they get better.
The economy gets worse.
If the economy gets worse, I think this is a new one,
but I have not yet seen this.
And I think people were just like,
no, I'm not going to blow my money up in the air.
And I got a lot of confirmation from around the country.
Obviously, they can't get anything from anywhere else
because it's unique to the U.S.
But it was it was stunning.
And then to hear that there would no not even they didn't even have a 4th
of July in San Francisco, that's amazing.
Amazing.
Well, Berkeley canceled their 4th of July. They used the COVID in 2019. They used COVID
as an excuse to end their fireworks. They used to have a pretty good fireworks display
off the pier right into the bay near Emeryville. And they ended it then. And then they haven't
returned because, you know, it's like, look at all the money we saved. And Sam is the only one around here. I mean, there's some,
I think Pleasanton has one at the county fair and there's some other ones here
and there, but the only one nearby is in Richmond.
And they do it on the third wisely because of that 4th of July fog,
which rolled in on the 4th of July right on time.
And so they, they have a pretty good show, but this year was kind of, it was different because
they didn't have the, I was commenting on this in the last show, they didn't have the
hearts, they didn't have the smiley faces, and they didn't have my favorite firework
piece, which is a cube, which have you ever seen?
Yeah, yeah, you mentioned this, the cube firework. They're really, it's like you look at it and go, wow, that's a cube which have you ever seen? Yeah, yeah you mentioned this the cube.
Really it's like you look at it and go wow that's a cube. I think people these days are
much more enamored by the drone shows. The drone shows are terrible. Oh I thought drone shows were
pretty cool when they do it right. Well yeah but it's just there's no explosions. I agree,
I agree this country was birthed in the middle of explosions.
We need to celebrate it with explosions. What is going on?
Now, did you hear about the drone show that went awry because up in Seattle, they've...
Seattle used to have some of the most advanced fireworks displays off the needle every year
because they had this very famous Japanese fireworks designer
who would do them every year.
And there was fireworks stuff like you've never seen before.
And that guy retired and they stopped doing it a couple of years ago and then they went
to drones.
And this year, because Mimi claims it's because of solar flares, they lost their GPS and 40
of them or 50 of them went in the drink.
I shouldn't laugh, but come on. That's pretty funny. I thought that's funny too, because you can imagine a big drone show
and they lose their GPS because I guess they're all computerized, but they need GPS.
Oh yeah, of course they do. Precise GPS.
So they all of a sudden lose GPS and all come flying into the crowds.
Can you imagine that?
Oh no, oh no.
Well, there was an interesting moment during this 4th of July celebration
at the White House event with not one, but two kind of gaffes.
I would say one from the president, one from the vice president.
Have a listen.
Happy 4th of July, everyone. Happy Independence Day. and have a listen. veterans to our military families. And we give thanks to our commander in chief, the president of the United States.
Did she almost say the vice president?
I kind of heard that.
Baby.
No, listen.
Commander in chief, the president of the United States, the extraordinary President of the United States, Joe Biden.
Oh, oh, oh.
Happy Independence Day.
Well, at least he got the Independence Day out.
Freedom.
That's what I wanted to say.
I wanted you to throw a freedom out.
That would have, we could have used a good freedom.
Very, very bizarre. Our president, our poor president is not doing so well.
So what was the, do you have the other gaff?
No, that was two. That was her saying, and him going, ho, ho, ho, Merry, I mean, we didn't.
Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas.
Yeah, ho, ho, ho, happy independence day. Okay. I see you have the
clip. So I will get us going with a little intro backgrounder, 30 seconds just to get us all pumped.
This week with George Stephanopoulos starts right now. Standing firm. I'm staying in the race.
President Biden fights to save his candidacy. I just had a bad night. I don't know why.
Pressure mounts for him to step aside.
I don't think anybody's more qualified to be president or win this race than me.
Can he reassure voters?
Would you be willing to have the independent medical evaluation?
A quill of a panic in his own party.
Do you really believe you're not behind right now?
Oh man, what a hootenanny. Of course we both watched it. John, what did you think? It was a whole 22 minutes. Yeah, it was the extended
remix. Well, I have three clips. I have the opening salvo, which ended with, Stepanopoulos was obviously just reading from
an anti-Biden script provided to him by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Anyone who read the last newsletter knows my thesis on this and you're not disagreeing
with it.
No, no.
In fact, I only have clips to back you up later, obviously.
Because once it dawns on you, you go, oh, hello.
The only person who is not on the Council on Foreign Relations who's out there is Axel
Rod, who was, of course, Obama's campaign designer and mastermind and manager the first
time around.
Axel Rod, he should be a CFR member, I feel, but's more the, he's more of the Chicago mob guy. He's everywhere.
He's everywhere right now.
He's probably one of those guys who wouldn't be a member.
There are people that just won't do it. Yeah.
Cause you know that when you become a member,
they take into a back room and juice you up with stuff and brainwash and then
give you an electric shock.
Yeah. And then take a picture.
Yes. With something in your mouth. Yes, exactly.
So let's start with, this is the killer one. This is right at the beginning. And I thought this was
interesting because this was played by a lot of people and nobody picked up on the obvious question.
Is this a bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?
It's a bad episode.
No indication of any serious condition.
I was exhausted.
I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing.
I had a bad night.
You say you were exhausted and I know you've said that before as well, but you came and you did have a tough month, but you came home from Europe about 11 or 12 days
before the debate, spent six days in Camp David. Why wasn't that enough rest time,
enough recovery time? Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact, the docs with
me, I asked them, they did a COVID test. They're trying to figure out what's wrong. They did a test to see whether or not I had some infection,
a virus, I didn't, they just had a really bad cold.
And did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
I don't think I did, no.
Okay, but before we get into the content of that,
what in the world is going on with the ABC audio engineers?
What is happening?
I mean, this must be purposeful.
This, this was so horrible.
It made Biden sound even weaker than he already is in his speech.
And the room noise, there was no reason for this.
Well, that's a good point.
It seems like that guy that used to put him in a bucket.
Remember that guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They used to put a bucket in the corner and throw the mic in there.
Yeah.
It's an old, it's a trick.
It's a technique.
And, and now that, you know, more people are noticing this in the
audio field and they're saying things like, uh, even during the debate, his audio was weirdly processed. I don't know if you have it, but at
one point Biden leans forward and he's saying, you know, I'm doing all this in the middle of
the wars. But his audio was like, it was really like something, some harmonic. It was very odd,
It was really
Something some harmonic it was a very odd
disturbingly bad For a professional organ. I mean dude show number three sounded better room in
2007 we were doing it through Skype. I mean it's crazy how bad it was. It was just really bad
Well, well the point I was gonna make with that clip was this was the very end
of the clip where and stepanophilus doesn't follow up the,
I saw a Fox play this clip.
I saw everybody play this clip and nobody said anything about it,
which surprises me, which is that the Andy's asked if he saw the debate,
and you can play that very end again.
Oops, sorry. I don't want to take. Yeah. I don't think I saw it.
A really bad cold.
And did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
I don't think I did. No.
I don't think so.
The question, what do you mean you don't think you did?
He doesn't know if you watch the debate
after he did the debate.
Now, I know a lot of people don't like watching themselves.
There's a lot of actors who will never watch their own movies.
There's people that do that.
He could say that.
I don't like watching myself.
But he didn't say that.
He says, I don't know.
I don't know if I saw it again.
I don't remember.
That was very disconcerting.
And that brings me to a note.
After you play the next clip, I'm
going to read the note from a neurologist who I think has got the right determination here that's coming up. And I think it's confirmed by
this next clip. This is a very short clip and this is the, this is the just a shouting clip.
Yes.
Can you imagine having a bad night when I realized that even when I was answering a question,
even though they turned his mic off, he was still shouting.
And I let it distract me.
At this point, we know he didn't watch the debate.
No, and he wasn't even there.
Because if he had watched the debate, he'd know that it was most 90% of the time it was a two shot.
It wasn't a two shot, but it was a double box.
Yes.
So they had Trump in a box and him in a box.
So you saw Trump the whole time and you never once saw him shouting over with a dead mic.
No.
Not that I can remember.
He wasn't shouting at all, but he wasn't shouting with a dead mic,
which makes me think that,
and I feel bad about some of this,
it makes me think that Biden is having hallucinations,
which brings me to this note from our-
Yes, yes, I put this in the show notes.
This is good.
This says, do not use my name, I'm anonymous.
These are new anonymous neurologist.
The symptoms probably started when Biden was VP.
He's talking about these manifestations and manifest as frequent gaffes.
And you know, I'm reading this note and then I also have a note from, I have a little rundown
from the Mayo Clinic on this phenomenon.
And it, it now it makes me feel bad about our drunk or not drunk segment.
Oh, oh, okay. Oh, wow. Now we have to feel bad about it.
We are sinners.
Well, you're the one that kept saying this elder abuse,
we shouldn't be doing this.
Yeah. And then, and then you made me give that up. You said, I don't care. He deserves it. He deserves
it. Exactly. You're right. You're absolutely right. I bitched about you complaining and then you just
relented and we continued it. But now I feel, now I feel bad. What can I say?
All right. It's okay. You're a mensch. I don't...
What can I say? All right. It's okay. You're a mensch. I don't feel bad. What can I say? You're a mensch.
The symptoms probably started when Biden was VP
and manifest his frequent gaffes.
This resulted in episodes of misremembering
and fabricating stories from his past.
This was reminiscent of President Reagan
when he was accused of confusing movie roles with reality.
Oh yeah.
And it predated his announcement
that he had developed Alzheimer's.
And let's please remember that every psychologist was out there analyzing Trump as being insane,
you know, narcissistic personality disorder, all kinds of things they did.
Yeah, and they continue to do so.
Yeah, where is that here?
Over time, Biden's episode occurred more frequently.
Outbursts of anger and irritability emerged and the condition seemed to interfere with his judgment
and self-control. Over the last two years, the signs of a Parkinsonian syndrome, decline in balance,
stiffness, slowing down, soft voice, mumbling, and difficult to understand speech became apparent. No tremor
has been noted. This is typical presentation of diffuse Lewy body disease, DLB. And it
would be less likely be consistent with Parkinson's. DLB is worse as the cognitive and
psychiatric symptoms are more severe and there is no treatment and the disease tends to progress
more quickly. And this is what Robin Williams died of. Yes, we also put a video in the show notes of
his widow from 2022 doing a Ted talk
about this.
Now that video is quite, I watched it's only 10 minutes,
but it's quite interesting.
That video is a cry is from 2022 and it cropped up.
I believe it was planted to cry.
It was, it was made to crop up.
This is starting to be introduced.
I, I'm convinced by, again, the CFR,
out to get Biden,
they have to get rid of him because this is becoming ridiculous.
And so I went to the, I sent you another one,
which should be in the show notes, which is Lewy body dementia,
symptoms and causes from the Mayo clinic.
And one of the things that's in there is visual hallucinations, which Robin had
issues with. And these are frightening hallucinations. And if you remember, which is why I think
he said that he imagined or he saw Trump still shouting.
Oh, okay. Yes. Yes. If he has that diagnosis, if that is true, and there's a lot of evidence that points towards it, what is it called? Louis?
L-E-W-Y body.
Louis body.
Louis body is a little protein that gets stuck, I guess, in the brain.
Which means, because of course Parkinson's is typically equated to the tremors shaking, but that obviously is not all of the story.
Yeah, he doesn't show any tremors.
So, but this idea, and it hearkens back to about,
I think it was three years ago,
the first time that we saw the Easter egg roll
in Washington, D.C. where they introduced that giant bunny.
Oh right and the bunny was his handler. And at one time Biden turned around and saw the bunny
and freaked out as if it was an hallucination. Remember this? Oh yes, yes. Oh man. Boy, hey,
you need to come to the Curry DeVore Consulting Group for all your psychological problems.
We can help you. We can solve it. We're good.
So Biden looks at the bunny and freaks out and then kind of runs away from the bunny as though he's running away from,
maybe he's obviously been having hallucinations.
Good callback. And the, and yeah, I agree with you. Thank you. And so the,
this idea that Trump was shouting when we all witnessed that he was not
shouting and he wasn't shouting with the mic off because we could see the two shot because they kept showing it was his,
was Biden's imagination. So Biden is imagining things.
And he probably imagined that later, maybe not even at the time, he just imagined it later.
He could have reconstructed it.
And by the way, how easy would it be to suggest to someone like that?
That's a good point.
Jill.
A couple more, just more symptoms here before I pay my last clip from the debate, or debate, whatever it's called.
A movement disorder, signs of Parkinson's disease, known as Parkinson's signs may occur.
These symptoms include slowed movements, rigid muscles, tremor or shuffling walk.
This can cause a person to fall.
Many times, up the stairs, on the podium, everywhere.
Poor regulation of body functions
The part of the nervous system that controls automatic functions is called the automatic nervous system the Lewy body dimension can affect
How well and the auto?
Nomic nervous system controls blood pressure heart rate blah blah blah this can result in death
dizziness, falls,
bladder control.
And death.
And bowel issues.
Okay.
I'm not gonna take us to D-Day, that's not fair.
Cognitive problems, trouble with sleep.
This is interesting, they have to take a lot of naps
and the naps have come into the conversation.
Varying attention, episodes of drowsiness, long periods of staring into space.
Long naps during the day or disorganized speech are possible.
Depression and apathy, a couple other things. This is in the show notes I did,
I sent it to you, you can put it in there.
And this from the Mayo Clinic.
So when I heard him, I just wanna mention that stuff
because when I heard him say that Trump was shouting
and it was distracting him, I'm thinking,
well, this guy's shot.
Anyway, so we have the council on foreign relations going after him to get rid of him for obvious reasons now.
And, and John Karl, who is a member of the council on foreign relations, uh, who
is also of course, of course he is.
Yeah, of course he is because everyone knows a reporter from ABC should be an expert on
foreign relations.
So, Jonathan Karl is actually his name.
Jonathan Karl is one of the analysts at the end of this 22-minute thing.
And he is on board with getting rid of Biden and he makes a big fuss about it.
And so he has some comments, he's very negative.
He did, he actually doubled down on, you know,
Stephanopoulos seemed to be kind of mixed, had an apparent,
I think mixed feelings.
He didn't look like he was comfortable delivering this blow, which was,
it wasn't harsh, but it wasn't, you know,
it didn't prove anything positive for Biden
But Karl decides to come in and this is I think is one of his comments that was
Piling on
That he is losing in the view of many Democrats and frankly in the polls you cited that he is losing to Donald Trump
And there was one question that you asked, where his answer is particularly, I believe, alarming to some of those Democrats. You asked him how he will
feel in January if he has lost to Donald Trump and all that he has warned would happen came
to pass.
And this was his answer. He said, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and did the best job I know I can do,
that that's what this is about.
One prominent ally of the president simply responded to me, wow, when I asked about that
question.
An unnamed ally, of course.
So the bottom line here, there was nothing in this interview that will force Joe Biden out of
the race.
There was no major thing that will convince him or any of his allies.
I believe they have to go.
But there's also nothing in this interview that will calm the nerves of Democrats who
are saying it is time for him to get out.
All right.
I have, if you're, if that's it for now, I can-
That will be my presentation. Take it, chef.
Thank you. Thank you, chef. Off to CBS, which stands for Chef Broadcasting Systems.
I'm Robert Costa in Washington and this week on Face the Nation. With July 4th behind us,
the week ahead could be a critical one for
the political future of President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
Ten days after Mr. Biden's debate performance rattled Democrats, many of them across the
country are privately and publicly questioning whether he is the strongest candidate to face
former President Donald Trump. President Biden says he's up to the job and insists, as he did in an exclusive interview
with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, that he will not quit the race.
If the Lord Almighty came out and said, Joe, get out of the race, I'll get out of the race,
the Lord Almighty's not coming down.
But the pressure on the president to consider stepping aside from the contest is intensifying.
And with Congress back in session and key U.S.
allies headed to Washington for a NATO meeting, the next few days
are set to be crucial ones.
OK, so it's all staging.
It's all very dramatic music.
Of course, NBC, Meet the Press, All In.
This Sunday, pressure campaign pressure.
Four months to Election Day, a defiant President Biden vows
he's staying in the race.
I am running and gonna win again.
But as his poll numbers plummet and Democrats consider Vice President Harris at the top
of the ticket, pressure is building for him to drop out.
I think it's a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition?
He has to show that he can do the job. He does
not have a lot of time. Can the 81 year old president reassure his party he's still fit to
serve? I have a cognitive test every single day. Every day I have that test. Oh man. I mean so at
this point and I think there is something going on behind the scenes which I'll get to. This is all just window dressing. This
is just to get everybody into it. Like, you know, it's over.
It's, I mean, literally, what is the article is this Biden's ABC
interview flops. This is from Axios with Hill Democrats quote,
he's toast. So I mean, this is, it's, I think there's already
things being arranged. And I mean, this is, it's, I think there's already things being arranged
and I have some ideas about that. First, let's go to the network that scored this exclusive, ABC.
Tonight, President Biden hoping to turn the page, saying calls for him to drop out of the race over
concerns about his age are nonsense. In a campaign fundraising message, Biden saying they were wrong
when they said we couldn't take on the NRA or big pharma or big oil.
Forget the pundits.
His team arguing that over the last 24 hours out on the campaign trail and sitting down
with our George Stephanopoulos, the president has demonstrated he is fit to serve and has
a path to win.
A source familiar with the campaign's thinking telling ABC News.
Again, I mean, all of it is there's no one's actually coming on the air and
saying much.
There's a couple of Congress people who have been pushed to the foreground.
But in general, it's all sources say people familiar with,
they don't really have the people who have either the balls to do it or
the authority to do it.
This is all marketing at this point.
Millie with the campaigns thinking telling ABC News, we're electing a president to lead
and deliver for the American people in an incredibly dangerous and fraught time.
We're not electing a performer for a reality TV show, but a growing chorus of Democrats,
unconvinced. Five current House Democrats now calling on Joe Biden to step aside.
Five, how many are there? How many House Democrats are there? Like 270?
No, less than that.
Well, I think it's more than 240.
I'm just saying they can only get five.
Yeah, those hundreds.
Yeah, they can only get five to talk.
The latest to join the call, Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota, a must-win state
for President Biden. Another of those House Democrats, Mike Quigley of Illinois,
celebrating Biden's record, but
saying he does not think the
president can win.
It was a tough race,
it's brutal now.
With the greatest respect,
I don't think he's up for it.
A handful of heavyweight donors
also publicly weighing in,
including Netflix co-founder
Reed Hastings saying he needs to
step aside.
But others forcefully defending
Biden, including Pennsylvania
Senator John Fetterman.
I wouldn't be here right now if I
didn't absolutely believe that he
is the right man.
That's the endorsement you want,
that guy.
And he has deserved to have our
kinds of support and all that.
And this thermonuclear meltdown and
just a couple days after that,
it's like for Democrats, for God's sake,
get a spine or grow a set one or the other.
Yeah, a lot of God coming in.
I mean, I don't have it, but Biden's saying,
oh no, no, until God comes down and tells me to stop,
I'm not stopping.
Okay, Joe.
There's one of the pundits on Fox that said,
at Biden's age, he shouldn't be invoking God.
He just might come down, hey, hey, John, here I am.
Asking for trouble.
These are two short ones with Rick Klein,
who's the political, I think,
the boss of the political coverage over at ABC.
Let's get right to ABC News,
political director Rick Klein and Rick,
give us the big picture
here.
Biden remains defiant, but the clock is ticking towards the convention.
Where does he stand in this race right now?
This is great.
Defiant clock is ticking.
With no matter what Joe Biden says about the polls and whether he believes them or not,
they are the reality.
Right now, the 538 national polling average has Biden trailing by about two points to
former President Trump and in every single one of the major seven battleground states he right now is behind.
That was the reality going into the debate and there are many people watching the interview
last night who thought that he turned that around substantially.
Those numbers are going to be interesting to watch in a very consequential couple of
days ahead.
Okay, so thank you, Rick, for saying nothing.
But let's get back to how about Trump?
And Rick, what about Biden's opponent Donald Trump and his campaign?
How are they responding to this turmoil among the Democrats?
Trump has been uncharacteristically quiet
He did put out a pretty snarky statement encouraging Biden to stay in the race after the interview with George
But he also has a lock on his own plate his convention the Republican convention starts in just nine days and before then
He's almost certain to choose a vice presidential running mate even though the contours of this race are quite unsettled as of this moment.
As of this moment. Okay. So of course Trump did do something very sneaky, which
we, I got a reasonable copy of it. It's only 42 seconds. Most people have probably seen it. This
is the leaked golf cart chat. Yes, the leaked golf. I thought we had it the last show, but you thought the audio was bad.
Yeah, I thought this is a better audio, which I got from...
Somebody must have fixed it then.
Believe me, Trump made a call.
Hey, hey, you can't really hear it.
The No Agenda guys need to be able to play it.
So here it is.
You gave me so much.
How did I do with the debate the other night?
Oh, you're fantastic.
Amazing.
You've got all broken down, pilot crap.
Yeah.
It's a bad guy.
He just quit, you know, he's quitting the rest.
Is that right?
Yep, I got him out of the race.
And that means we have Kamala.
I think she's gonna be better.
She's so bad.
She's so pathetic.
It's so news.
It's just f***ing bad, so. I just can't imagine. But can you imagine that guy with the dealing with Putin So clearly they went back and sweetened this or got a better copy and let it out there.
Thank you.
We appreciate that for the show.
It's always good.
We should mention that in there, he did give Xi a call out.
Yeah, well, Putin and Xi.
Obviously on purpose to boost him.
Well, also that's what the American people
really need to hear.
The debate, nothing was really about what,
and certainly the Biden campaign is doing,
is they're not saying this is why you want him.
No, it's only to beat Trump, to beat Trump.
But that horse is already broken down in the field.
The horse is glue.
It's glue.
You know, no one cares about that anymore.
People care about, why can't I afford fireworks?
So here's the non-CFR David Axelrod on CNN with his very cool...
He was pretty quiet.
We haven't heard much from Axelrod until the debate. Now he's everywhere. Well, the question is, did he change the minds of
voters who are watching that? I don't really think so. You know, Jim, I think the thing,
and some of it I found sad, but he seems not to be able to compute the fact that
people have these questions about him.
He said, when George Stephanopoulos asked him if he'd be willing to take a cognitive
test, he said, I take a cognitive test every day.
Well, the fact is that may be true, but 75% of the American people think he fails.
They fail. I mean, they've lost. And so this is a real problem
for him and it's something that shows up in every poll. And in terms of where he stands
in the race, you know, no politician out there will tell, has the same perception that the
president does that this is a tide race
and he's right in the hunt right now he was ten points ahead four years ago he's
six points behind now worsens in most of the battleground states and now in
danger of losing states that weren't thought to be in contention so what you
see Jim you saw in Wisconsin today Tammy Baldwin the senator from Wisconsin
wasn't
at this event.
Why?
Because she's up for reelection and it's not helpful to her to be seen with the president.
This is what's going to happen.
And somebody really needs to be honest with him about it.
It can't be the good Lord, but it should be the people who love and care for him and his
closest advisors. can't be the good Lord, but it should be the people who love and care for him and his closest
advisors. His portrait of where he is in this race doesn't comport with reality.
It's really amazing how they bring God into this. Everyone's doing that ever since Joe
invoked it.
It's weird.
Now let's go to an actual CFR member from the European arm of the Central Intelligence Propaganda News Service is Deutsche Welle.
Now, who would they bring on who is a fine CFR member over there in Europe?
Could be anybody. I don't know.
Ian Bremmer. Oh, God, yes.
Yes. And for more now,
I'm joined by Ian Bremmer. He's author and president of the geopolitical risk consultancy,
Eurasia Group.
Ian, it's good to have you back on the show.
We need to, this should be the
Currie de Vorac geopolitical consulting group.
I like that.
We can come up with a dynamite name.
I like that.
We can consult with ourselves.
All the time.
Come up with a great name.
Sources within the C&D geopolitical consultancy say.
And for more now, I'm joined by Ian Remmer.
He's author and president of the geopolitical risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
Ian, it's good to have you back on the show.
Ian, about the president, they are saying, judge me by the past three and a half years.
Don't judge me by 90 minutes from last week.
But the polls suggest that that is not what people are doing.
This has been the most significant concern of Biden's campaign and potential reelection
is that he's too old to serve.
I've never seen an election campaign in any major democracy where a person running is
clearly not going to be physically able to serve out the entire term.
And there's nobody that thinks that Biden would be able for four more years to actually act as
president. Now, I mean, that implies he really shouldn't have been running for reelection
a year ago. And a lot of people have been saying that and concerned about it, but Biden himself
has not been.
The issue is that what everyone's been worried about quietly, everyone now is worried about
in public.
And that is the fact that Biden's age and his physical capacity and to less of a degree,
perhaps his mental acuity but it's really I
think about the ability to just serve in the role. It's a very very pressing job.
Very few people believe that he's up for that and that is the nature of the
crisis that he and the Democratic Party today is facing in the United States.
Interesting that he switched from the correct term Democrat Party to Democratic Party.
I haven't heard that done at the end there.
But I think these are the talking points.
It's like, hey, you know, it might be something going on with his mental acuity, but really
it's just clearly he's not up for the job.
Instead of getting into the possibility that he has dementia of one form or another,
let's just be ageist about it. Because everybody can relate to ageism. We hate the old people.
Yes, of course. I'm starting to understand that more and more myself every day.
Well, wait until you get to be my age.
Ian's going to hammer it home here though.
They are saying that this is a problem and it needs to be addressed.
And frankly, it needs to have been addressed a week ago.
They shouldn't have waited until Friday, the week after the debate to have a sit down,
no holds barred, taped interview with a friendly George Stephanopoulos.
It needs to be out there more... Friendly to who, Ian? barred, taped interview with a friendly George Stephanopoulos.
He needs to be out there more immediately.
Friendly to who, Ian?
To the Democrats or to the CFR?
I'm thinking he means a friendly to the CFR.
With a friendly George Stephanopoulos.
He needs to be out there more immediately and more extensively, but they know that over the next weeks,
they're going to have to address this in a way
that is seen as satisfactory by the bulk
of Biden supporters or Biden is gonna have to stand down.
And if you ask me what I expect at this point,
and I'm not saying this on the basis of having
spoken to Biden, but I expect that Biden will not be the nominee.
I think his name will not be on the ballot in November.
There you go.
So that's the final word.
And what he says is they know, they know, they know.
So he's not talking about the Democrat party.
He's talking about the Biden family.
And we know that the Biden crime family
got together with Hunter.
They're all sitting there.
Jill, of course, we know that she's the power player.
She's the only one that can really control Joe
and really that he I'm sure looks to.
He's looked to her for 47 years.
As you pointed out on the last show,
Biden has, I mean, even just his legislation,
the 94 crime bill, but the way he would talk to people,
he was a douche.
He always was just a mean-spirited retail politician.
And Biden.
No, I'm not even saying who, I said who,
because I like the idea of a retail politician.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I don't know where I picked that up.
It's not one of my own.
And if you're in politics for 50 years and you're still there, I mean, you know, people
say, why did Obama choose Biden?
How about he has that type of power?
How about he has the goods on people?
Now, I don't want to, you know, this is really irksome that I'm going to bring this up.
No, I am agreeing and I already agree.
No, no, but what I want to bring up is a clip that we lost.
And I brought it up before. It was a couple of black guys on some podcast or something.
And this was like, I'd say, during the Obama administration, where one of the black guys
says, you don't have a clue about what's really going on with Obama and that White House.
Joe Biden is a powerful man. And he went on and on about him being like the head of a
crime family and a gangster and somebody you had to be careful about.
And it was, it was just an off the wall clip that we played and I,
and I've always remembered it, but unfortunately I couldn't,
couldn't find it in a million years because who knows how it was titled.
But, uh, I've ever since I heard that I've always taken a secondary look,
which always brought me to the, I've always taken a secondary,
which always brought me to the, this all by the way, always brought me to the idea
that in some ways Biden was faking his ailments
as Vincent the Chin Gigante did during the mob.
But now with this Lewy bodies things, I don't think so.
No, but the family, look, we know, look, we know that the family
has had this fantastic business going on with getting money. I mean, let's just, you know,
let's rewind the tape here for a second. We know what Hunter has been getting in. We know what,
what Joe Biden, we know the, you know, the billion dollars in Ukraine. I mean, the guy had power. Why else would Barack Obama have him in?
It seems like he has, or certainly had, some power, and that power now rests with Jill. And Jill,
of course, at this point, knows that this has to come to a end. So I think there's a negotiation
going on. I have thoughts about it. it First let's just briefly hear from the BBC
Another Democratic member of the US Congress has called on President Biden to drop out of November's election race in all five
Democrats in the House of Representatives have called on Joe Biden to step aside
The latest to come forward is Angie Craig a member from the state of Minnesota
She said she didn't believe that the president could effectively
campaign and win against Donald Trump.
There was, she said, simply too much at stake and Mr.
Biden should make way for a new generation of leaders.
Now, just before I get to the final bits here, there was a
feeble attempt before this Stephanopoulos interview to get Joe in with the blacks.
I mean, that's the only thing they're still trying to do is keep him in with the blacks.
And he did two interviews with Black Radio.
I hope you have the clip.
Oh yeah.
CNN had to, of course, help us understand that even that was phonied up.
You each were, you asked four questions, and maybe that's what you were allowed to ask by
the campaign or the White House, but they were essentially the same questions, both interviews
about accomplishments, progress in your respective state, what's at stake in the election, what he
has to say about his debate performance, and what he would say to voters who think their vote doesn't matter or might sit this election out.
Were those questions given to you by the White House or the campaign, or did you have to
submit questions ahead of this interview?
The questions were sent to me for approval.
I approved of them.
Okay, so the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the
interview. Yes, I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones
that I approved. I love this. Yeah, I approved those questions of the eight that they sent me.
That makes you sound like you there were, so you know I was in total control of this interview
because I approved four of the eight questions.
I approved four questions that I was allowed,
of the eight I was allowed to choose from.
So all of that just shows that this is over
and now we need to figure out how to get Joe out.
And I really have the feeling that Jill is in control,
Hunter's in there because the Biden,
including his brother,
they're all like, hey, look, the minute Joe's out,
the gravy train stops.
So we gotta set something up right here, right now,
so that we can continue on into the sunset, Joe, certainly,
but the rest of the family,
they need to have some kind of grift going forward.
And I say that, I mean, it's high level.
This is not unique to the Bidens.
I mean, Nancy Pelosi has her own, her own stock.
Everyone has, has some kind of scam going on, it seems.
And here's the real problem.
This is what it all comes down to.
The Democratic party is not the happiest place on earth right now.
Mega donors are withholding funds in the wake of President Biden's poor debate performance.
That includes Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Disney co-founder Roy Disney, who said
she intends to stop all contributions to the party until President Biden is replaced at
the top of the ticket.
She said Vice President Kamala Harris is a viable alternative.
In a statement to CNBC, Disney said, if Biden does not step down, the Democrats will lose.
Of that, I am absolutely certain.
The consequences of the loss will be genuinely dire.
Disney has made six figure donations
to Democrats and progressive causes
during previous election cycles.
On Wednesday, Netflix founder Reed Hastings
told the New York Times, Biden needs to step aside.
The president has also
lost support of much of the media. Exhibit A, the latest cover of The Economist. By the way, I got
to stop this for a second. We probably all saw the cover of The Economist with the walker with the
presidential seal on it. Am I crazy in remembering that that was actual No Agenda album art in the
past three years? You're not crazy at all.
Do you remember what episode?
Absolutely.
I remember it.
What episode was it?
I think they played it lately.
It was about, it's probably five years ago.
Five years ago?
Well, it had to do with Biden.
So it probably was four, maybe it was three years ago.
I would love if we could find it because, I mean, we were way ahead of the game.
Well, you know, if Paul Couture's listening, he could probably figure out how could find it because I mean we were way ahead of the game.
If Paul Couture is listening he could probably figure out how to find it.
Okay, so to me it was like oh wow I mean it looks so much like...
They stole our cover art.
It kind of looked that way, yeah.
To me, because we had the same thing, it was a walker and the presidential seal was in the front of it.
Yes, it was the exact same art. No, you're not imagining it, because I remember it too.
Mariah fund president, Gideon Stein is also withholding
more than $3 million in donations.
Stein told CNBC, Joe Biden has been a very effective
president, but unless he steps aside, my family and I
are pausing on more than $3 million in planned donations
to nonprofits and political organizations aligned with the
presidential race, with the exception of some down-ballot work.
Stein added that nearly every major donor he's spoken to thinks they need to replace
Biden in order to defeat Trump.
There are others who have donated six, seven, even eight figures during this election cycle
and previous election cycles who agreed to pausing donations.
Biden said on the 4th of July that he isn't going anywhere.
His campaign had strong fundraising in June.
Supporters gave $127 million, including 38 million
in the three days after the debate.
So I was talking with my buddy, Dave,
Dave Jones, the Pod Sage, And we're going back and forth
and we start to find articles.
And this is something that we have discussed
that you know more about than I do,
although I have some written information.
The Biden-Harris campaign, there's only a few things
that can happen with that money.
You can't just turn around
and give it to some other campaign.
It's not typical that donors
will get refunds. You really have to use... So, Kamala, that's why she's important is because
that money has her name attached to it along with Joe's name. They have $91 million in cash.
Imagine if you're the Biden... I thought it was 351. Cash, cash, cash.
This is cash.
Okay, that's cash on hand.
They have 240 million that's out there.
But let's just say there's 91 million in actual cash.
They can write checks.
It's good money.
If you're behind the scenes and Jill is saying,
look, I represent the family.
We understand Joe has to get out.
We understand, but we're not
going anywhere until the Bo Biden Foundation, which used to be the Biden Foundation, recently
changed to the Bo Biden Foundation, according to their Form 990 filings, has $3 million in cash
and assets in it now. How about you, because this is what they all want. This is what the Bill and
Hillary grift was. This is what Obama's grift was you want the foundation?
Because with the foundation you can get all you can get all kinds of money flowing through it
You can fly on jets. You can do all kinds of great stuff most of it tax-free or tax deferred
50 million dollars of that 91 read Hastings, you know, what's the other guy? All the Reeds, you know, the
LinkedIn guy, the Netflix guy, Hoffman. You guys, I want you to kick in another 50 million.
Give us a hundred million dollars. And then Joe will say, you know what? I think it's time for me to step back. I have to focus on other things, in particular my health.
And we're going to move to the foundation.
Dr. Jill Biden knows a lot about Parkinson's.
Turns out I have Lewy body Parkinson's disease.
And wouldn't you know it, just two days ago, this happened.
President Biden signed legislation this week aimed at preventing and finding a
cure for Parkinson's disease.
Championed by New York Congressman Paul Tonko, the National Plan to End
Parkinson's Act will provide more federal funding for Parkinson's research
to prevent and cure the disease.
The Democrat from the 20th district says more than a million Americans live with
the disease that affects the nervous system.
It's a really good collaborative that we have seen working really well with the Alzheimer's model,
with the Alzheimer's plan, and I really mimicked that effort on behalf of Parkinson's.
The bipartisan legislation is modeled after the 2011 National Alzheimer's
Project Act, which created a
national effort to address the Alzheimer's crisis and all other forms of dementia by
2025.
Tango says the bill will help better focus federal spending on research, estimated at
$52 billion annually.
Bingo!
Perfect.
Perfect exit.
Perfect swan song.
He deserves it.
You got your 100 million in cash.
We'll guarantee you some of this money from the bill
you just signed into law, Mr. President,
you may not remember, but you just signed into law.
This $54 billion, we'll make sure you get some of that.
You could, you're off and you're good to go.
And Joe can be the head of the foundation.
Yes, of course. Of course, Dr. Jill.
Dr. Jill.
Dr. Jill. Dr. Jill. Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill.
I think this is a very reasonable way to get him out, to keep the Bidens at bay.
They'll be happy.
They can go off.
You know, in this research, did you know that Joe and Jill Biden, since they bought their Delaware home, which I think they bought in 1996,
and this thing is massive, $350,000 in March of 1996.
We should be so lucky.
They have refinanced it 17 times since.
This is how you launder money.
Real estate is the favorite way to do it.
And by the way, the banks, all these Delaware savings companies, loan companies,
Chase is in there once or twice.
This is a great way to get money to people.
That's how they do it.
Just refinance your house, sell your house,
buy it back. You know, oh, I bought this clearly two to three, in 1996, that would have
clearly been a two, if not $4 million home, $350,000. Yeah. And then you just take out
mortgages, you know, as secondary mortgages, home equity lines.
There's a lot of ways of milking it. Yeah.
I don't, I don't know that mechanism. I'm sure people can tell us,
but I'm pretty sure real estate is a good way to do it. So these people,
and they know it, they know how to do this stuff.
A foundation makes it all legit. Yeah. And we just prompt, and you know what,
and Jill will keep some pictures or some video or some documents.
They got lots of them.
Keep some documents next to the Corvette that if someone ever decides to, uh,
you know, Welch on, uh, uh, yeah, we got pictures.
Oh, here it is.
It was, uh, episode 1394.
Wow.
It's even at the same angle.
You're talking about the picture of the Walker with the presidential seal. It's even the same angle. What year was that? What was that date?
That is October 28th, 2021. How about that?
Let me put that in the show.
We're just, you know,
we were always two or three years ahead of everybody else.
Well, we also have Dutch Masters.
We still do.
We have lots of Dutch Masters.
So I think that is the mechanism.
Everything's in place.
Everything is good to go.
Jill will have some little shit she keeps behind just in case someone decides to welch on a little piece of that $50 billion that she made Joe sign into law.
This is an easy way to go.
And right on cue, bring in the kingmaker.
And so Robert, how do you guys set this up for Face the Nation this Sunday morning on
the CBS television network?
So I'm lucky enough to be guest anchor this weekend.
And we're going to talk to Jim Clyburn.
And I think he's really important because he actually has political capital.
A lot of people claim to have political capital.
He actually has it.
He made Biden the nominee in 20 with his endorsement.
Where is he going to stand, parse his words carefully and listen to what he has to say.
What's notable is that Clyburn has been talking publicly about maybe backing
Vice President Harris. Notable. Of course, the kingmaker. Time for him to come in. And even
though we haven't really paid much attention to it, Kamala has been out there going for the only
constituency that she really has, which is the sadly Psy-op'd black American women who somehow believe that
Kamala is black.
Oh yeah, well, the Essence Awards.
We, you, we have extraordinary power.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
Never let anybody take our power from us.
And never be shy about our power.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us.
And we can never let anybody take our power from us. And we can never let anybody take our power from us. And we can never let anybody take our power from us. And we can never let anybody take our power from us. And we can never let anybody take our power from us. Never let anybody take our power from us and never be shy about our power.
We must encourage in each other ambition. Ambition is a good thing. It is good to know
one's power and then to go for what you want knowing you can achieve it.
and to go for what you want, knowing you can achieve it.
Yes, good to know. Now, do you remember,
we played the clip of Taraji with the vice president
at the BET awards, that horrible back and forth,
where she's in the dressing room
and she's like, she's code switching to all black talk.
Oh, yes.
Let me just play a little bit of again, because I got many notes from people about two things
we should have, well, we couldn't really have known, but I should have known at least one
of them.
Listen to this one more time.
So what's on your mind?
Oh, Madam VP Harris, I'm worried about the election.
Women's reproductive rights are on the line.
Our Supreme Court is on the line.
Our basic freedoms are being tested.
Madam VP, I know you've been traveling across the country.
What are you hearing?
Yeah, girl, I'm out here in these streets.
And let me tell you, you're right, Taraji.
There is so much at stake in this moment.
The majority of us believe in freedom and equality, but
these extremists, as they say, they not like us. Now a lot of people picked up on
this. I of course picked up on the code switch. What I didn't realize is the
Kendrick Lamar Drake beef, which we discussed briefly, is Kendrick Lamar
saying, hey Drake, he not like us. In fact,
he had the song, Not Like Us, because Drake is half black. He is in fact Canadian. He's Jewish.
And so that was basically Kendrick Lamar saying, hey, look, this guy, he's getting paid. He's
making bank, but he's not like us. He's not one of us, he's an imposter.
So Kamala, it's like, I think the most tone deaf thing ever is to say, oh, they not like
us, whereas she is not even one.
Not like us.
Not even like us at all.
And she grew up in Canada of all places.
Very bizarre that she would invoke that.
But there was something else that she...
She doesn't know what she's doing.
There was something else that one of our producers caught,
which is in this next bit.
No, they not.
There's a full on attack on our fundamental freedoms.
The freedom to vote.
Yep.
The freedom to love who you love.
The freedom to be safe from gun violence.
The freedom for a woman to make decisions about her own body not having her government tell her what to do.
They out here trying to take away pride, plan B, and plan parenthood, but protecting pistols.
If you ask me, they pushing the wrong peas.
So pushing the peas is a slang I was not aware of.
Pushing the peas is slang for pushing pounds,
pounds of drugs.
So they out here pushing the wrong peas.
What kind of peas were you talking about, Taraji?
I mean, this was deep, very deep.
And I wonder if that worked at all.
For sure it worked on Taraji
because she then went on the BET Awards and stopped her
introduction of the next act on stage and threw this out. I'm telling y'all you better show up
and show out with them ballots. I'm being serious now. I know I look good. Not with your votes by
the way with them ballots. What is that? What is that?
That's a good one.
Good catch.
Them ballots.
Like that woman who is busted.
Yeah.
I'm serious now, I know I look good, but it's a serious time.
I need y'all to listen.
Show up and show out when it's time to vote because it's not just about the presidential
election, you guys.
It's time for us to play chess not checkers. It's about making decisions that will affect us as human beings, our careers, our next generations to come.
Did you know that it is now a crime to be homeless?
That's not exactly right, but okay.
Pay attention. It's not a secret. Look it up. They are attacking our most vulnerable citizens.
I think when you say look it up, I think that means don't look it up. Just take my word for it.
The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up. They are trying to bring the draft back. Who do you think they're going to draft first?
Yeah, black people. That's how America works.
That's right. Are you black? Yeah, you're drafted. Please.
I'm not trying to scare us. I'm trying to inform us.
We got three Supreme Court seats up, you guys. We need those seats or we have no protection.
Okay, I got it out my system.
Our next performer.
So they're pushing real hard. It's Kamala for the Black Women of America.
So they're pushing real hard. It's Kamala for the black women of America.
And which by the way, there's only one guy who is now just for some odd reason, just
holding on tight.
Here's Vivek.
And that leads me to my view, at least of who I think it's most likely to be, which
is I made no secret of this.
I've been saying this since last year when I said Biden wasn't going to be the nominee. I think if you really believe that set of collective incentives, you got to
believe there's a reasonable likelihood that this is actually going to end up being Michelle Obama,
somebody who is widely loved by many independents who don't follow politics particularly closely,
somebody who has already in some sense been tested. People will, I think, correctly anticipate that
it would be Barack Obama pulling the strings behind the scene, but not in a negative way.
I think they would be very comfortable with that from any Democrats and somebody who would
rise above so-called the fray of the otherwise conflict of ambitious next generation governors
or senators who would otherwise be vying for that position.
Yeah, he's a diehard.
I'd give him that.
Yeah, he's worse than you.
Big Mike 2024?
I think you've even given up on this thing.
I did forward bigmike2024.com to a guy who built a website.
Well, that's because you're a joker at the heart of it all.
I'm a joker. I'm a joker. That's what I am.
Talking about jokers, I might as well play this one thing to get it out of the way,
which is a Biden clip. It's the only clip on the list that says Biden.
And this was, you know, I was gonna try to slip it in as,
well, this is part of the-
Oh, as some real, yeah.
This was the part of the Stepanopoulos interview
that was actually cut out of the interview.
Yeah, sure.
After the debate, we ran a poll.
And every single
person we polled thinks that you're a retard. We polled African Americans. They
all say you're a retard. Hispanic Americans also think that you're
retarded. They call you el retardo. We even polled actual retarded people. Even
they say you sound absolutely retarded. You see where this is going, Mr. President?
Well, I just had a bad night.
That's good. You know, it's funny. There was an article in, I think it was The Hill.
Let me see. I have it here. Yes. Was it The Hill? No, HuffPost. Opinion. It's time for the Biden campaign to embrace AI.
Yeah.
Yes, I saw this.
Now, I will admit I didn't read it because I just looked at the beginning and I said,
whatever this is, I don't have time for this.
Did you read it?
Yes.
And what did it tell you?
Biden's campaign could instead set the standard and norms for what should be reasonable use
of AI tools in the campaign arena. For example, disclaimers could be included on AI generated
content because what they're saying is they should do aesthetic enhancements to the president's
speech. AI generated content can be tailored to highlight the president Biden's accomplishments.
Was this a joke?
Was this like a satire?
I don't think so.
Clearly.
It sounds like it already.
Well, let me see.
There was a Kivan Shroff is a guest writer.
There's a name that makes sense if you reorganize the letters.
That doesn't sound right.
It sounds like a satire.
I didn't think of it as a satire when I saw it.
I still don't see it as satire.
What you just said is very satirical.
In our mind, you have to remember some people are insane.
Yes, I realize that some people are insane. Yes, I realize that some people are insane, but they don't catch satire, but our job is
to catch it.
Well, Kate Fang jumped in and tried to make President Trump look like the retard, as we
just heard that AI clip from Stephanopoulos.
For the last week, the media has been portraying Democrats in crisis mode,
trying to figure out a path to victory after the first presidential debate.
But with all the attention that is being given to Joe Biden,
very little scrutiny has been given to the real issues that should have been discussed at the podium.
And even less attention has been paid to Donald Trump's fire hose of lies and promises to destroy democracy. For example, Donald Trump has privately
promised donors he'll ensure a national 16-week abortion ban and publicly he's
promised to begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American
history, reinstate his Muslim travel ban and expanded to include Gazan refugees.
Use the military to address domestic crime, eliminate the Department of Education, roll
back dozens of Biden's climate and gun control measures.
An act of federal law stating that there are only two genders, repeal the Affordable Care
Act, charter 10 new freedom cities that include flying cars.
Yes, flying cars.
And of course, finally,
he promises to finish building that wall. Freedom, flying cars. Flying cars. I mean,
count me in on all those things. I'm good with that. I want to live in this freedom city with
flying cars. That'll do it for me me. Couple other elections around the world.
Well, before you wait, before you go there, I do have,
let's get some other stuff out of the way.
I do have a couple more clips.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were on the topic.
That's okay.
I thought we were done.
And so, so I, and these, there's too many of these clips.
They're pretty short. There's one this long. It's the payoff clip.
But this is, so they had, they brought this woman out.
You, we talked about black women and their and their devotion to Biden and the Democrats.
And so they had, instead of Brooks and Shield and Brooks and Capehart, Capehart took off
for the Fourth of July.
So for the Hamptons.
For the Hamptons.
For the Hamptons.
The Hamptons.
Quog.
Quog.
I'm not absolutely sure.
I mean, quag. But he's, I think he's also upset about the Biden fail because he's a big, huge Biden.
He was one of those guys that was talking about Biden's going to wipe out Trump in the
debate.
Oh, he has to hide.
So we have this woman, her name, she's got a hyphenated last name, Store something, and she's a columnist for
the Boston Globe, an activist columnist reporter, which is the latest thing.
One of these shows I'll comment on it in more depth, but there's all these journalists that
are pushing the idea that we shouldn't be doing balanced reporting.
It's a bad idea.
Oh no, we can't do that.
We have to be like the New York Times.
You have to take Hitler's side on the argument.
You know, what's that word.
Really, what's wrong with you?
Where were you?
But she's one of them.
And if we can tolerate these clips,
play Brooks in store one, and this is the setup.
At a campaign event in Wisconsin this afternoon, President Joe Biden vowed to stay in the race
for the White House.
Well, guess what? They're trying to push me out of the race.
Well, let me say this clearly as I can. I'm staying in the race.
I'll beat Donald Trump.
For analysis on the tenuous week in the Democratic Party, we turn to Brooks and Atkins' store.
That is New York Times columnist David Brooks and Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins'
store.
Jonathan Capehart is away.
Great to see you both.
Jonathan Capehart is hiding in quag.
Hiding in the Hamptons, yes.
So we start off, and the two of them are both the typical, of course, of PBS is that the
news hour is that nobody's in disagreement.
They're all Democrats.
They're all in lockstep in their opinions, which gives the public absolutely no benefit
whatsoever.
But they keep doing it.
I don't understand it.
Can I say something about this for a moment?
So I've been tracking like the real diehard New York Times readers, people who grew up with the
New York Times, who have always trusted the media.
And two prime examples would be Dave Weiner, my partner in creating podcasting, and Jeff
Jarvis.
And they are on, well, I only follow them on Mastodon, but I think they're everywhere,
Twitter and Facebook and threads.
Their real opinions are on Mastodon.
No, I think they've wanted to cross post everything, but they are incensed by the media.
They are now, I mean, they're talking about, we need to set up our own media.
Like hello,, podcasting. You know, we need, we need, you know, we can't trust the New York Times.
We can't trust the media. We can't trust anybody. It's all broken. And this to me is a good thing.
I love that now people who are obviously or clearly left leaning or, you know, Democrat,
clearly left-leaning or Democrat, just to name it, that they finally see that the media does not care about them.
It was great when they were on their side, but now they're not.
And yes, the New York Times with their editorial board, they are meddling in things that have
little to do with journalism.
Hello, welcome to the party.
We all agree on something.
Yes, I've noticed this too. It's because the New York Times is not pushing their agenda that there's the whatever, whoever's behind the, yeah, they're not pushing what these guys want,
which is just Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, one party system run by Democrats and Socialists.
Well, I think they're realizing
that we actually have a one party system
and it has nothing to do with politics.
It's the people behind the scenes.
I don't think they're that self-aware, but okay.
I think it's just a pure Democrat.
Why don't you promote, why don't you pushing Biden more?
There's a certain weird blindness to those guys.
Yes.
Brooks and start a store too.
Let's just take stock of where we are right now.
We have now seen three house Democrats publicly call
for the president to step aside.
The Washington Post reported late today,
Democratic Senator Mark Warner is attempting to pull
together Democratic senators asking him to leave the race.
And we're starting to see some major Democratic donors back away, among them Abigail Disney
of the Disney family.
She said in a statement yesterday, she's stopping all Democratic contributions until Biden is
replaced.
And she said this, the quote, this is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man.
He served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high.
Kim, can the president change the narrative or is this heading one direction?
Look, the president has already done what Democrats were waiting for.
They needed him to make the decision as to whether he would be the nominee or not.
We are past the primaries.
The voters have already had their say.
It would have to be the nominee to make that decision, and it seems that he has.
So now Democrats really don't have a choice.
Mark Warner, donors, other people don't pick the Democratic nominee for president.
The people and the process do, and they've already done that.
So I think at this point, I agree that this is a crucial moment in time and that the threat
of democracy that looms with a potential return to the White House of Donald Trump is something
that cannot be ignored.
I think the more Democrats continue to fight and quibble and play this game about replacing
the president when there's no, not even an heir apparent, the
weaker they are.
We haven't heard anything from Donald Trump this week, and that's probably the most disciplined
he's campaigned ever because he realizes the Democrats are doing the work for him.
She hasn't heard about any heir apparent, really?
She's not read in on anything.
She's so out of touch. She is, but she is representative as we've been noticing of these black
females that are just lockstep in Biden's camp, Democrats.
And it's, I don't know.
I mean, I know Mo has all these theses about the, about the, it's
like a setup of some sort.
Yeah.
And, uh, yeah, This is the next one.
When Trump wins, they'll all be out of a job and out of the public eye.
We'll see.
Anyway, so we continue.
Now, this, unfortunately, I think this is a little slow moving until we get to this
clip four, which is a setup, but this is clip three coming up.
David, at this critical moment, as Kim says, how can the president calm those concerns
that are clearly still out there?
Well, he could take a cognitive test, which is what I think he should do over the weekend.
And then people aren't worried about they're sort of worried about now.
But really, they're worried about 2027, what Joe Biden is going to be like in 2027, if
he's still president.
And so I think he should take a test and say, and he's taken them in the past.
And he said, I took this cognitive test,
that's doctors, it's all public, here it is, rest my case.
And so he could do that,
and I think frankly, he should do that.
Because right now there's like clouds of witnesses,
like there are all these anonymous stories
floating around there.
There's like a lot of people saying,
oh, Biden's been like this for weeks or months.
Then there's anonymous stories to the White House staff, they're all miserable. Then there's anonymous stories to the White House staff,
they're all miserable.
Then there's anonymous stories that the Democrats
in Congress are really angry at the Democrats
who are governors who are supporting him.
And the Democrats in Congress do not want to run
with Joe Biden at the top of their ticket.
And so it's all this anonymous floating.
And it's very hard to get a sense of where the vibe
of the party is.
I do think what's been clear in
my reading of the floating is that people have been more reconciled to the idea that
Kamala Harris would be the alternative. That moving beyond her is just not a non-starter.
There's some doubt about whether the money can flow to any candidate. I think it probably
can. But you see people getting more comfortable with the idea of Kamala Harris. So I don't
think this is going to be over though.
Biden's statement today was pretty definitive, but the party is, you know, 72% of Americans
don't think he's qualified to be president or to run again for president.
That's just a reality.
Boy, even Brooks like, oh, it's anonymous.
Just all these anonymous people.
I guess no one talks to Brooks.
Guy.
Or Stor.
So now this is the set.
Now we have Brooks and Stor and the woman, this woman who is the sub, she's the co-host
of the show.
They did, she's the only one working the weekend or working the holiday and she is, she is
a real, she's-
No one wants her at the garden party.
The racist. The hostess who's South Asian looking, she hates Trump, Stor hates Trump, and Brooks
reluctantly doesn't like Trump either.
This is the news hour has deteriorated to just a bunch of Trump haters.
And it's become kind of obvious after a while.
But this I consider to be the setup clip.
I think that this is, as you're describing it, these circles, these clouds, these are
largely happening inside the Beltway.
OK?
And again, inside the Beltway isn't where the president will be showing, will be campaigning.
That's not where...
There are, I should point out, there are voter concerns about his age.
There are voters' concerns, too.
But I have, by and large,
the majority of the people that I have heard from,
from coast to coast, want to focus on beating Donald Trump.
They have just as much agita about this Democratic
in fighting and hand-wringing as they do about a couple
of sentences that Joe Biden flubbed during the debate.
They see this inching closer and closer.
We're coming up on both conventions.
The time to make a decision is over.
And I think if Democrats pull together and show, again, half of the fight that Republicans
have who have always stood behind Donald Trump, and they actually have a candidate with a
good record who believes in fighting for democracy, the better off the Democrats will be. Yes, even if Kamala Harris is the candidate, and it's,
I think it's a little insulting to her that it's only, it's only taken till now for them to realize
that since she is the vice president of the United States. Maybe, but I think that decision has
already has to have been made and Joe Biden has made it. He's staying in.
Now, this is a classic woman. She said, oh, he made a couple of flubs. Didn't notice that he's staring off into space and all the rest of it. Is there a whole segment of the population that is
blind to what's going on with this guy? They just forgot to CC her on the email.
What's going on with this guy? They just forgot to CC her on the email.
They didn't know that she was going to be in...
And did she actually watch the debate and see this guy trying to...
She still... no, this...
Please, John, I mean, I know this is probably rhetorical what you're doing,
but you said it to me, and she just didn't get read in.
She doesn't know. She hasn't been told...
She hasn't been given the talking points.
She's still on the old plan.
told the, she didn't be given the talking points.
She's still on the old plan.
She got to, Hey, Hey lady, you've got the old code book. No wonder.
No wonder.
What's wrong?
What they didn't know.
They didn't know.
Kaypard probably has it, but he's like, screw it.
I'm out.
I'm going to the quag.
I'm going to the beach.
Yeah.
Okay.
So here we go with the, I could, I call this the wow clip because there's a wow kind of
a thing going on here.
David, what about the stakes here?
Both Kim mentioned, Abigail Disney mentioned them in her statement as well.
Biden backers have told me, look, they're worried that the focus on this conversation
takes the focus off of Trump, who is an anti-democratic candidate with authoritarian tendencies, who
is now newly empowered by that Supreme Court
immunity ruling.
The head of the Heritage Foundation, we should point out, that's running this Project 2025
policy planning for a potential second Trump term said this this week.
He said the country is in what he called the second American Revolution, and it could be
quote bloodless if the left allows it to be.
There's kind of this alarming language around a potential Trump presidency.
Are we losing sight of the stakes here?
This is the 2020 project 2025.
I put it in the show notes again for everybody to see.
It's 900 pages.
I doubt this lady read it.
I reread it for what, I mean, imagine putting in five points in the chat GPT and saying,
write 900 pages.
That's exactly what it is.
Exactly.
That's exactly what it is.
It's so old that-
You know, it might actually have been that way.
It sure looks like it.
It's so old that it still speaks of getting rid of Roe v. Wade.
That's how old this document is.
And the way it's portrayed is, oh, oh, I'll oh clutch my pearls Trump wants to get rid of the Department of Education
What will we do with our children? Yeah
That's not the Department of Education. We should know it as a recently created
It's not that's not a radical position from the right at all
But it's been discussed by your your ex governor there in Texas used to bitch. And when he ran for president, he was out.
All he wanted to do is get rid of the department of education.
So the narrative they're trying to create here, in fact,
I have the headline from salon project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's
campaign, but now it's backfiring instead. But no one reads this.
You know, to be honest about it, maybe I just missed it.
But no one reads this. I don't do, you know, to be honest about it, maybe I just missed it.
I don't remember Trump even mentioning Project 2025 in any of his speeches.
I listened to his hour and a half speeches and he never mentions it.
The guy who mentions it.
Now before I play this last clip.
Wait, wait, let me just say one thing.
I think this came to the foreground when Tucker, of all people, did his speech at the Heritage Foundation.
I think that's when Project 2025 started to surface.
I disagree and I'll tell you why.
Bannon.
Oh, Bannon. Yeah. Well, okay.
Bannon's been pushing it. I have two Bannon clips. I'll play them after this last clip.
Yeah, good point. Good point. John, I'm sorry, John Karl interviewed Bannon and all Bannon does is talk about Project 2025.
Ah, okay. All right, I got you. I'm with you. I'm with you.
Now we have the payoff. These maniacs is all hating on Trump and it's all about,
just don't get him in because he's going to, he's going to ruin democracy and he's going to, dude,
wow, I don't know what they're even imagining.
Are we losing sight of the stakes here?
Yeah, I think so. I mean, before we went to prison, I went over to see Steve Bannon
and interviewed him and I was scared out of my mind. Like I just asked him what's going to
happen if you guys win? He said, it'll be nothing like 2017. 2017, we didn't have staff. We had
nothing. But now we've got people who have been vetted, we've got people who are trained, and we're just going to go after
the deep state. It looked like a dismantling of the civil service basically, and that's
just the beginning. So I do think people are losing some focus on that, and you know I've
been a broken record on this for whatever, seven years, but it is also true that every
American pretty much has seen an elderly relative in decline and they sort of know what that looks like
And if I could just do one one bit of just random polling as I mentioned 72 percent Americans don't think he should run again
in
Biden if you look at the Wall Street Journal the New York Times poll Trump is up by six in today's approval numbers
Biden is at a record low, Trump is winning the swing states by more than before.
So there's real cause for concern.
And if your main goal is to get Donald Trump out, not reelected, to me, it's a very open
question of what the best route for that is.
And I'm not saying I'm not one of these people who says Joe Biden should sit down, I'll wait.
But I do think it's an open question.
I wanna get back to this issue of how we're talking
about President Trump as well here, which is to say,
there seems to be sort of an asymmetry of expectations
as well in terms of Trump's performance in the debate,
which was filled with misleading statements and lies,
lie, lie, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
He's only three years younger than President Biden, often veers off script when he's not
on prompter.
Do you see that asymmetry?
Is that affecting the conversation right now, Kim?
I 100% see that asymmetry.
Look, we can talk about mental cognitive tests that people might want the president to take.
But we already know that Donald Trump has failed the moral test.
He's failed the democracy test. He's failed the democracy test.
He's failed the insurrection test.
If I like fire hose of lies, I think that's a good one.
Fire hose of lies.
Fire hose of lies.
Fire hose of lies.
So John Carl, before Banyan went to jail.
Banyan.
Yeah, Banyan went to jail. Banyan.
Yeah, Banyan.
Before Banyan went to jail, John Carl, I guess Brooks did too,
interviewed him. You know what?
I don't know why this guy's got so, I don't know why, who cares?
He's perfect fodder.
I mean, for exactly the reason, for exactly the outcome they have.
The project 2025 is unhinged, man, it's unhinged.
Yeah, that's gotta be it.
I mean, otherwise it's like, who cares?
But okay.
So let's, I just have two clips from this interview
with Jonathan Karl, the Consul in Foreign Relations guy
who was the head of the press association in DC,
the White House press correspondence.
And here he is bitching about, or taking on Bannon.
If Trump wins, what does it look like?
How is this different from the last?
President Trump hasn't signed off on this, but look, here's what's going to happen.
I believe.
Three verticals.
I believe.
First vertical is seal the border and the mass deportations.
The second vertical is about the finances.
So Trump's going to have to deal with a budget of two trillion dollars of deficits.
He's going to have to look at getting the tax cuts back.
And the third is to stop these endless forever wars in Ukraine, in Israel, and around the
South China Sea and Taiwan.
That's the program of what he's going to drive to say we have to accomplish this. So I
think a whole big part of project 2025 is actually going into the apparatus, the post-constitutional
leviathan and start to take apart the administrative state brick by brick. No, I understand.
Jonathan, I have 900 pages right here of just what this is just project 2025. Yeah, this is just this is just the the Kevin
or this is just heritage. You know, this is a grift at this point. Banyan had nothing to do with
writing this. His name is not on this. Everyone else, everyone's name is on this thing. The first
30 pages is who did it. He's not in there. There's no Banyan credit for this thing.
He's kind of grifty here. Like're like, oh yeah, I know.
I think he's been grifty all along.
Oh, okay.
I mean, in the beginning, he definitely helped Trump in 2015, 2016.
But you know, of everything that was-
I think it's all about him though.
It's always him.
Well, yeah.
Narcissists.
Carl calls him out in the second clip here, I think rightfully, and Bannon just lets it slide and he goes
on and on.
You know, over time, I've come to dislike this guy.
When I interviewed Bannon back in 2018, he predicted an astounding victory for Republicans,
saying they would run the tables in the House.
Instead, Democrats picked up 40 seats.
And in 2022, he predicted a massive blowout for Republicans.
Instead, they lost most of the competitive races
across the country.
The 2022 did not come out anywhere near what we thought.
I mean, all your guys lost.
I mean, you had, you you had people like Kerry Lake and
and Masters.
Can I say something?
Mastriano.
Let me make sure ABC News understands this.
This is a populist nationalist revolution. It's a process.
We're not going to win every election.
So you may not lose, so you may not win in November.
I happen to think if you look at the numbers today, and you particularly look at the numbers
today, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Not just that, you look at the fiasco.
We have to do two things, just real briefly.
We have two tracks that have to go down, one is for the country.
This national security crisis we have with the commander in chief that's clearly not
up to the job, and a constitutional crisis that will come on the 25th Amendment for that.
That is something that has to go down this track.
They also have a political situation over there.
They're going to try to change Biden.
Are you worried the Democrats will replace Biden with somebody that will be harder to
beat?
I was not a fan of doing this debate at this time because I said you're given a free option.
President Trump should debate who the Democratic Party nominee is, not a guy named Joe Biden.
If it's Biden, do it. If it's Gretchen Whitmer, do it. If it's Gavin
Newsom, Michelle Obama, you pick it. The Democrats should pick it. That's their choice. But President
Trump, I believe, my belief is the incentive of the show that he did it for the country to show
because he took all the CNN rules, which I thought were crazy. He took the cut mic,
he took the no audience. The rules may not have helped him.
It took the two breaks. Let's say this, he performed magnificently.
There's your video.
By the way, the things that Banyan mentioned in the first clip about Project 2025, who
can be against that? Who can be against fixing the budget? Who can be against lower taxes?
Who can be against no wars? And who can be against, I don't think a single American is
against the dismantling
of the administrative state, except for the, what is it, seven million people who are on
the payroll in the administrative state.
I'm sure they are beside themselves because that, you know, was it schedule F or whatever
they put in place that was snuck through where you can now easily fire people in the administrative
state?
They're trying to make it so it's easy. Easier. You'd always fire people.
I mean,
I worked in the administrative state and people got fired all the time.
Did you ever get fired?
No.
You played the system.
I quit.
Most people quit because it's the administrative working in the
office.
This is just my observation and their, and the observations are old now, but they stick with you,
is that it's depressing to work in the administrative state.
Yeah.
I mean, it was great for me because I was working during a downturn in the economy, then I didn't realize it,
because I have no more knowledge now than I did then.
And I was living it up basically in a situation
where everybody else was starving to death.
But it's a soul crushing job to work for the government.
You're working with people who,
a lot of it's make work,
there's people that really aren't doing anything
and they sit around conniving.
It's very difficult and soul crushing
to work in the,
nobody like, anyone who says they like working
in the administrative state is lying to themselves.
It's much better to be out in the pre-enterprise world.
But you and I are not from this generation that was raised in the school system as it
is today and where that is seen as, you know, that's what your poli sci degree does.
I talked to the Uber driver who picked me up when I came back from Holland, from San
Antonio and he's saying, you know, I had like these like two people and they were, I think
they were in the, it may have been the EPA and they were out scouting
for their next meeting in Hill Country.
And he said, she had a title that it was so long
I couldn't remember it, which to me meant she does nothing.
And making $130,000 a year.
And this guy's like, this is nonsense.
Everyone sees it.
But so if you're making a buck 30, you're like,
yeah, this is pretty good.
I got this long title.
I'm a dude, I can wear dresses, whatever.
You can do whatever you want.
And of course that's not everybody.
I mean, it's possible that, and I do accept,
I do accept.
You do.
I do accept the possibility that we're, although with our audience, you know,
luckily we have an audience that's wide ranging. And so they try to keep us surprised, but we might
be losing some touch with the Gen Z, but you have Gen Z people around you, so you're a little better
off than I am. What I feel from Gen Z is, well, as we discussed, just not voting. Not interested. We're only interested in our own community.
We're going to lift each other up and we're going to find cheap places to buy food.
And we're going to do our best. We don't care.
We've completely lost faith, lost confidence. COVID did that.
For sure. For sure. COVID is like, oh, these there's no, there's no, they're not voting.
Yeah, I understand that.
But we were talking about them, you know,
getting into the administrative state
and thinking it's a good job.
I have a clip, my last clip of the series.
Oh, all right.
Gen Z.
This is a woman, this clip's been going around.
This is a Gen Z complainer.
And she's done a series of these clips,
but this I think is the initial one.
That's good.
Where she's, and you have to imagine her,
she's kind of like a dyed red head
with kind of a round face.
She looks very typical of a certain group
with the giant glasses that are too big for her face
that are part, you know, somewhat stylish in some circles.
It's in now. It's in. It's in. Gen Z.
Yes, it's stylish in some circles. I think it looks dumb.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, boomer. Listen, that's the style right now.
You and I have...
I know what it is. I see it, you know, but here she is complaining.
I have two bachelor's degrees, but I'm currently unemployed
and I'm trying to find a job and I'm not able to find a job.
I feel like if you are not currently looking for a job right now in today's job market,
then you will not understand how actually hard it is to find a decent paying job.
Even if you have all the credentials, I have two degrees, I have experience, I have a good
resume, I have it all, and I'm still not able to find anything.
And people ask me, like, what do you want to do?
Like, what's your, like, dream career?
What's your dream job?
And honestly, I don't have one.
I don't dream of working.
I don't want to work.
There's no career or job that I can think of that I would be like, yeah, I would love
to do that every single day and spend more of my time there than in my home
that I pay a crap ton of money for.
Like, no, I don't dream of working.
My dream life, my dream day is to wake up by the beach
or some body of water and drink my coffee and read my book,
then take an afternoon nap and then read my book inside
and then have a nice dinner.
Get married.
That's my dream daily life.
But I know in order to get there, I need some kind of money and monopoly money won't work.
That means I have to get a good paying job, but those are not available.
Yeah.
So, and I only have a couple sources.
My daughter's is really the source.
My stepdaughter is my daughter.
And one of my
stepdaughters is here with us for a few months. She has a knee operation and so she's staying with
us. And she has a degree, graduated from University of Arkansas, and she is in what she calls,
all of her friends, it's the blue wave. She was doing fashion photography production in New York.
She says, I hated it. I hated it.
She took some time out, went to bartending school.
She loves it.
It works five days a week, four days a week sometimes.
Gets tips, loves the idea that tips may not be taxed.
A sly presidential promise there from Trump, they call it the blue wave.
Like, we don't want this anymore.
We're sick and tired of it.
It's a rat race.
You know, let me do something in service.
There's a lot of that.
And I think that is the trend.
And they do go to the beach and wake up on the beach and then
go work at the bar until two.
So I think there's a trend there.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, kind of switching gears.
You know, remember there's always an out for the cheating.
We love, you know, how about them ballots, people?
Got to think of them ballots, as Taraji said.
So what do you need of them ballots as Taraji said.
So what do you need for them ballots to work? Well, you need some kind of lockdown situation with bird flu is not working.
The dengue, although I did get some boots on the ground from multiple people about dengue in Honduras, dengue numbers are up, Malaysia dengue
numbers are up, but this is not totally uncommon. No, it's common. But if you
really want to scare somebody, you do what Colorado does. Welcome back. Public
health officials in southern Colorado are investigating a human case of the plague locally
Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment says their findings are based on preliminary test results only
Health officials say the plague can be transmitted by fleas or wild rodents
It can affect people as well as their pets
They have not specified which specific form of the plague this case involves, but as soon
as more information comes in, we'll let you know.
The plague.
I love the plague.
The plague, it just has a great name.
What you got?
I got the plague.
Stay away, man.
I got the plague.
So, I don't think that-
Of course, the plague is endemic.
Yes, of course it is.
It's been around forever, still is, and you still get the plague.
Yeah, in 2015, Colorado had the plague as well. Colorado, actually, in 2015, had the plague as well, and three people died from the plague.
Don't remember freaking out about it then.
No, but now we can freak out about it. Okay, a couple other elections before we take our break. The first one is Iran.
We had a runoff yesterday and we have a winner.
Here's a profile of Iran's new president.
Reformist Masoud Pesachian is the winner in Iran's presidential election.
Here's what to know about Iran's new president.
A cardiologist by training, Pesachian is a relatively low-profile figure who served
as Iran's health minister between
2001 and 2005 and has represented the city of Tabriz in the Iranian parliament since 2008.
During his presidential campaign, Pesachian hinted at more diplomatic engagements with
the world, vowing to reopen communication channels with the West to have the years-long
sanctions imposed on Iran lifted, although he added that the US has always
shown itself to be an enemy of Iran. He also has disclosed his intentions to initiate reforms in
both economic and cultural domains and vigorously defending the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and
various world powers. Given his progressive outlook, will he be able to put his policies
into practice? So this guy seems like he might be better.
He can only do so much and he is an advocate of the Moolahs, so it's not going to be that different.
Well, his wife is a gynecologist. How can it be wrong? This guy's got to have something good going on.
In the UK, we have a new Prime Minister.
The UK starmer.
And thank God we have Nigel Farage.
Has a seat.
That means that clips will still be abundant.
Yes, we'll be back in business.
We're very, very happy.
We've even found a source for the PM's Question Time.
And you found a source.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
Well, it's your beat.
It's your beat. It's your beat.
Look, Question Time used to be a regular on this show.
We used to play it because C-SPAN would play it.
And I'd get a clip or two.
They're always very entertaining.
And the ones in Canada are even better,
but those are even harder to come by.
But Prime Minister Question Time will now feature,
it won't happen a lot, but it'll happen enough
that Farage will get up there and blow off some steam.
And the first order of events has already taken place as the new, and even though it's
more ceremonial than anything, and if you see the numbers by the way, it's
something like 60% of the Brits voted Labour because they just wanted the Tories out.
Yeah, and 60% of the ones who voted, less than 40% I think of the total population,
voted. People were just very, which was predicted by Katie Hopkins in one of the clips we played
some months back that everyone's is apathetic. It was 40% who voted Labour just to change the direction of the country.
Didn't mean that they... I think from the numbers I saw, only 5%
voted Labour because they agree with Labour's policies.
Right. Well, this was like a classic. Here you go, people. Here's the first thing
that's going to happen. The Prime Minister was asked by a British journalist about the Rwanda scheme.
That is the scheme about processing and sending back people who have come here illegally across
from France, northern shores of France, in small embarkations, made it to Britain and
who are then would be processed and sent on deportation flights to Rwanda.
It's important to point out that nobody except one person who did it voluntarily has been sent,
but it's cost really millions of pounds already being paid by the British government to Rwanda.
So what the Prime Minister was asked is, is it dead and buried now that you've been elected?
Keir Starmer said, and I quote, the scheme was
dead and buried before it started. He said that it never acted as a deterrent and he
pointed in fact to the record number of small boat arrivals this year and in previous years.
So a very clear message that that policy very much wanted, originally wanted by Boris Johnson, the former prime minister,
and very much tried to be carried out by Rishi Sunak. And as I said, not what single person
being sent out on a deportation flight because of all kinds of legal appeals, that is dead and
buried and it was never a deterrent, says this Labour Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.
Just from a perception standpoint, that people have got to hate this.
Hold on a second.
This I did not know.
I didn't know that they had sent millions and millions of pounds to Rwanda to set the
situation up and they never sent anybody there so they just threw that money away?
Well that's what this guy is saying.
Who knows?
I don't know.
This is the reporter lady says it.
I don't know.
But the whole, but Britain certainly, as far as I know,
love the idea of getting people out
because their whole street view has changed.
In Guilford, where I used to live,
there is a Muslim mayor, which is fine, but then before
the city council meeting, because my buddy Michelle still lives there and I fear for
his mental health and his physical health even, he sent me a video of the opening of
the Guilford city council, a cute little town, little high street, and so Moola gets up and
starts doing
in Guilford.
That's not, that's not the culture of Britain or it wasn't that changed pretty rapidly.
So to get it, to get a Muslim mayor in a place like Guilford,
you have to have had a lot of Muslims voting for it.
You start with that. And, you know, it's just, it's a different culture. And it's not, and the Brits now feel in the minority, which they likely even are.
So, you know, people may disagree with me, but I'm generalizing that people are not happy.
And it's not like that's London, you know, it's 70 miles away from London, something like that, maybe less. It's an hour
and 15 minutes by train. It's the stockbroker belt. That's a long way. Sacramento, where I live,
is about an hour and 15 minutes by train. So in general, Europe is okay because we have
the European soccer competition going on right now.
The Netherlands now in the semi-finals, so people are just all loving it.
They're all into soccer.
Oh yeah, as long as they're soccer, everyone's happy.
As long as they're soccer, everybody's happy.
However, in France, things have changed.
Well, before you leave Britain, I do have a couple of things to say.
Oh, okay.
Which is Stammer, who many think was MI6.
Yes.
Well, he was in charge of…
The Jimmy Savile investigation.
The Jimmy Savile investigation.
Which he buried.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a lot of documentation for that, but his potential for being MI6 is when you
see him and his very cute wife.
No, I have not seen her.
Take a look at Stammer and his wife and you look and you say, ah, spook couple.
Isn't it interesting that the Dutch prime minister is also a former spook and he oversaw many
pedophile cases, including in the Justice Department, that were just kind of swept away.
The Deming affair, Rolodex affair, all of these things just kind of... So that could be very bad.
Who knows? I mean, I don't want to point fingers at any PDF files, but I'm just saying.
files that I'm just saying.
Now I go to France and Marie Le Pen had a nice sit down. And I like this because she did something that I've been tracking for a while.
The term far right.
Everything in Europe is far right.
Far right this, far right that, far right Geert Wilders, far right Le Pen, far
right AFD, far right, far right,
far right, far right.
So she sits down, she sits down, she sits down.
She what?
She sits down, I can't help it.
There you go.
Yeah, but the heart is full of.
The beginning.
It's how it starts.
She sits down with Christine Amanpour
and Amanpour lays it on her and Christine Le Pen,
not Christine, Marie Le Pen pushes
back against the elite globalist news lady.
The fact that your party did so well in the European elections and so did Georgia Maloney's
party and so did AFD.
I mean, AFD, as you know, a little bit like the former National Front is very scary. The fact that the far
right is becoming a very, very powerful force in Europe. And who knows, maybe now with all
that's going on in the United States, Donald Trump might win a second term. How do you
see Europe changing?
First of all, I strongly dispute the term far right, which in your country
refers to small groups that are extremely radical and violent. If you like, the equivalent
– You don't think you're far right? The equivalent of what we are in the United States
is between the center right and the center left with regards to ideas. So I think this
– You're kidding me, right? Yes. Yes, I'm telling to ideas. So I think this... You're kidding me, right?
Yes. Yes, I'm telling you very honestly. I think this use of the term far-right carries
a stigma and is very pejorative. It does not correspond to what we are and not at all to
what the far-right is in the United States. That's the first thing to say. Secondly, we
can't put everyone in the same boat.
For example, in Europe, we distanced ourselves from the AFD party because we're in total
disagreement with a number of their statements. So together with Mrs. Maloney and with our
differences too, are what we call patriots. So she pushes back on the far right to and you look at Aminpour's face like you're joking right?
You're joking! Why are you having a laugh? You're joking! You're joking right?
This is not true right? I mean you know everyone knows it far right? You're far right! Far right lady! You're crazy!
She could not believe it. Her disbelief on that rather bulbous head of hers was funny.
And then she says, hey, look, we're patriots. Oh, trigger word, please explain.
In other words, we defend the existence and the power of nations within the European Union
because nations are the expression of the French people.
When the European Union takes on certain roles without consulting anyone,
it is no longer democratic.
We are defenders of nations.
We want a Europe of nations, a Europe that respects the decisions of the people
and not a super-technocratic structure such as it exists today. And that's the path that we want to follow, a Europe of nations that's respectful, that
leads projects, a Europe that doesn't restrict, that doesn't threaten, that doesn't blackmail
when it comes to subsidies. Because that's not our vision. Our Europe is the Europe of Airbus. Forgive me, it's a competitor.
It's the Europe of Ariane.
It's not the Europe of Madame von der Leyen.
And so we will fight within Europe to redirect Europe in the direction that we want.
And there you go. There you go.
Good job, Marie. Good job.
She's always been very sensible with her arguments.
Yeah, she's always been...
And M. and poor is just an idiot.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the flying car.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMorell!
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning all ships and seaboots and the ground ground, feet in the air, subs in the water,
and the dams in the nights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hello, trolls.
Don't worry about the bank.
I'm counting you.
There you go.
There's story around.
Not bad.
Not bad.
We had, it's 23.47 and we're late in the game.
We're at a buck 50 and on the previous show,
which was 25.16, okay, it was 150 more,
but that was right after the debate.
I think this is good.
I think we did pretty good here.
It was before.
I like it.
It's a good number.
It's a normalized number.
Normalized number.
It's been to ballpark.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you, trolls.
The trolls are here.
They are checked into the system, trollroom.io.
That's just a website. You can do it on your phone. You can do it on your desktop. You
can do it while you're working. You can do it at the pool anywhere. You can also use
a modern podcast app and get an alert when it's time to switch on. The bat signal will
fly and you'll know you can find those at podcastapps.com. And you want to use one of
those because when the hammer
comes down, your favorite podcasts are going to go away.
It's already been happening since 2018, Apple deplatforming, Spotify deplatforming.
You want to have something that is backed by the podcast index, which has no business
model.
It's all value for value. It's true. It's run by the good graciouses
of people supporting it with value for value. And of course, there's lots of benefits to
these modern podcast apps, including when we publish, if you can't listen live, you'll
get the notification within 90 seconds. And so, that's always a bonus because we literally
are on the modern apps way before any of the legacy apps. It's always a bonus because we literally are on the
modern apps way before any of the legacy apps it's just a fact because they don't
want to participate in it. It's a fact! That's right. We run value for value here at at the
No Agenda show in October it will be 17 years. I was a little dismayed you know
you certainly way before me,
but I have been a Costco member, goodness,
for at least, I wanna say, 14, 13 years maybe?
Yeah, longer than that.
I was a Costco member before they joined with Price Club.
And so-
Before the merger, I pre-merger Costco member.
And yeah, we love Costco, you know, except for the rubber fruit.
We love Costco.
And a number of people have pointed out to me that the Costco,
you know, Costco Connection, which is their magazine, which I read,
I read Costco Connection.
I was like, yeah, what's going on? It's for members.
It's a membership thing, you know.
They have an article, the power of podcasting.
I mean, where is it?
The power of podcasting.
And it's like the podcast have exploded in popularity
since 2004 when the term was first introduced
in an article in The Guardian.
Wrong.
introduced in an article in The Guardian. Statista.com predicts the number of podcast listeners worldwide will reach 504.9 million this year. Producing podcasts, a now 20-year-old format, takes planning,
persistence, and vision. Costco members in the podcast, Costco hits a grind.
Costco members in the podcast space share how and why they started
and what they love about the medium.
And so they have all these members of Costco, but missing is a John
C. Dvorak and Adam Curry.
I find this to be a canard of epic proportion. I agree. Is John Seed of Warack and Adam Curry?
I find this to be a canard of epic proportion.
I agree and I will even take myself out of the picture because you invented the whole
process for all practical purposes and genuine purposes for any purpose.
And you think that they track you down
because it's not that hard to figure out where you are,
how you are, where you are.
And look in the database.
You just look it up and there's adamatcurry.com.
I mean, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
They have my credit card.
Did you get a call?
No, nothing.
That's very disappointing.
I think I'm going to rescind my membership.
You've always been saying that.
Well, if they're this sloppy.
If I took it to Costco over here, it's the same thing.
They won't take my card, I quit.
That's what it was.
They wouldn't take American Express?
No, they only, it was something weird.
At the time, they'd only take American Express.
Right, right.
They wouldn't take Visa or MasterCard.
Now they only take something else.
I don't know what it is, but they keep changing.
Yeah, well I received my membership now. I'm mad at them.
Once you have a debit card, they take that, this is basically a cash card.
So you just use that.
It just shows me if they're that-
That's where your former wife bought her first camera.
I don't remember that. And believe me-
Yeah, Nikon.
Believe me, it wasn't her doing the buying.
I remember it. I never got thanked. I'm the one who recommended the camera. She bought it.
It wasn't her doing the buying.
She used a Nikon for a while and quickly changed to a Canon, like everybody.
Well, my last and best wife shops at Costco and she was very perturbed. She's a podcaster too,
you know? That's true. She's a podcaster.
Does she get any props? No, no, no, no.
Yeah. I think this is very careless, which makes you wonder what the,
you know, the quality of the magazine. People should bitch.
How about the quality of the editor of the Costco magazine saying they,
they overlook the obvious.
How about the quality of the food? Now I question it. This is rubber, rubber.
The chicken, the chicken is lost. It's, it's, it's tough. Everybody's bitching about the food. Now I question it. This is rubber, rubber chicken. The chicken is lost.
This is everybody's bitching about the chicken because they
changed the packaging.
Yeah.
No, that's you because it gets all moistened.
No, no.
Now there's, there's articles you can look, you look it up.
Uh, chicken, chicken in a bag.
It's no good.
Anyway, uh, value for value means that we can freely talk about Costco and talk them down
because we don't take any money from corporations. We don't take any-
We're the only Costco.
I wonder if these people have sponsorships. You got to wonder. I wonder if they're talking.
Hey, I mean, think of all the times, if we had gotten paid,
you could have talked about their great wine,
you know, the Easter eggs.
I could have talked about so many different things
I've gotten at Costco,
which is probably what these other podcasters do.
I'm just thinking, I don't want to point any fingers,
but it could be some kind of a deal.
And that could be just a quid pro quo, yeah.
But what you want is you want people who are honest
and just talk about stuff they like or don't like
whenever they feel like it.
And that's us.
That's us.
Because we have decided to not have listeners.
We don't want listeners, we want producers.
If you're not a producer, what are you doing?
If you're listening and you're not supporting us,
whereby at least hitting someone in the mouth,
getting them to listen, organizing a meetup,
maybe doing some art.
Oh boy, do we love our artists. Our artists are so on top of everything. They go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
All of these pieces of art are used by Dreb Scott in the chapters on those modern podcast apps.
You see how we've built a whole empire out of value for value. And we thank the one, the only comic strip blogger. He
doesn't win often that much that
he's on the list of leaderboards.
Yeah, but he hasn't ever since he went full AI, it kind of got
annoying. Because it's always the same. But there was something
about the art that we chose for our July 4th episode, episode
1674, titled, We're Working.
There was something about the dog's bug eyes in this thing that just made it perfect.
And we like to do a traditional piece of art for some of these big holidays.
So obviously we were looking for flags, we were looking for fireworks. Fireworks. And we debated quite some time over, um,
let's see, I'm scrolling down here.
Well, I like the, Matthew Dropko did some great pieces.
Yeah. You liked the cheesecake. It was good cheesecake.
It was the same thing. It was all AI. There's no, although I, it was that,
well done. I liked it particularly like the red head.
Well, we almost chose pickle surprise with Mirka's birthday.
Yeah, that was, it was close. It was the eagle with a hat on, which was funny.
The flag that I think that's what the runner up is that eagle with the hat on
and there's because he was wearing a stupid hat that made it kind of funny.
But there was, it wasn't quite, I don't know.
You, you didn't like the, I liked that piece more than you did because you
didn't like the, the lack, I think it was the lack of dimensionality.
Whereas the AI piece had a lot of it and, uh, and it was also slicker basically.
Um, anyway, and there was something about the bug eyed dog. Uh, it was good slicker, basically. And there was something about the bug-eyed dog.
Yeah, it was good, it was good.
Bug-eyed dog was good.
Do we discuss how dogs don't like Fourth of July?
And I also kind of liked the sad ice cream girl,
but that was not really a story.
It was a Darren O'Neill.
Just something.
It was a Darren O'Neill throw away.
Yeah, we wanted a happy piece of art and the comics are bloggers.
He's a prompt jockey of extraordinary proportions.
He's gotten really good at it.
He's gotten good at it.
So we thank the artists.
You can enjoy all of that art, as I said, in the modern podcast apps
and the chapter images.
If you're driving using CarPlay or Android Auto, it'll switch while
you're driving.
So beware because you just might veer
off the road with laughter because some of these things are off the hook and not really for public
consumption. But there you go, they're in there. And thank you again to Comiasterblogger, a fine
Dutch master of Polish descent. Kurwa! Now to thank the executive and associate executive producers who came in with the treasure of the three T's time talent and treasure
$200 and above we you're an associate executive producer. It's a real credit and we read your note 300 above you're an executive producer
Will you get the credit and we read your note and we'll kick it off with
Wow a cool $1,000. Is that a
Scandinavian dollar seeing as it's coming from Ontario?
I don't think it is. I mean, maybe.
Sandeep Chauhan in Oakville, Ontario, and we have not found
a note for Sandeep.
No, he's going to have to send something and he may be wanting
to be a knight or...
Well, he certainly certainly qualifies came
That's a stripe donation that came in through stripe and there's no way of putting a note in easily
So that would be
Notes at no agenda show net for your notes and so yes notes at no agenda show net and Sandeep
We look forward to hearing from you and if you want any title or however
You'd like to handle that in the meantime a double up karma
you've got
karma is so bell Pearson in Manchester Great Britain another foreigner ITM I
contribute following a change of circumstance, which has also prompted my permanent move
from the communist hell hole
that is now the UK to Southern France.
Oh, better weather, better weather.
Better weather, better food.
Yeah, better wine.
Better wine for sure.
I remain your loyal and diehard fan,
named Isabel Pearson.
And you don't have to shave your armpits. France is great. She's the first female listener of No Agenda.
Oh, is that true? Has she been around with us that long?
I don't know. She claims it. I believe it.
I think that's just her title. Oh, okay. Well, then she probably is.
The troll room chimes in, better teeth. I mean there's lots of stuff.
Better teeth.
Oh boy. Sir Jeff is in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, comes in with 333.33, says,
ITM, please put me on the birthday list for July 9th. You're on it.
Can I also get a biscuit for my birthday?
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Thanks, Sir Jeff Barron of PA Route 33,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Thank you, brother. Okay, now we have Alan Finston, who came in with 33333,
and he's in Blaine, Washington. Very, very, very long note, which I don't think we have to read all of. I don't think he was expecting it.
No, I don't think so either.
But the note is good.
I will read some of it.
As a promise, please accept my donation of 333 as a completion of my earnest quest for
knighthood.
And then he's got his knighthood on here, which is, you need to spot a penny.
Oh, I think...
The reality I personally came from long bloodlines of both Jews, Dad's side, and Christian, Quaker
English, with the realization that both my sides came to this great country in hopes of escaping
unrelenting religious persecution.
Hold on a second. I got the penny.
relenting religious persecution. Hold on a second.
I got the penny.
I offer the following message of compassion to all people.
Conveniently enough, this heart-centered message is best summarized as an Ask Adam question.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
Here it goes.
Yup.
Hey, Adam.
Yes, John?
How come Jewish dudes get circumcised?
I give up. How come Jewish dudes get circumcised?
Because Jewish women can't resist anything 10% off.
Hey-o.
Please ask the peerage committee consider circum, sir, sir, sir.
Circumcision is his night name of the 10% off night of the fourth corner.
Additionally, you can finally say you got your Jew money or at least 50% of it.
Money in the house.
All right. About time.
Good.
Good.
I love the humor.
Uh, good. Good. I love the humor. Yeah. He also wants to put in a word for the space laser office of targeting or slot as Jews and half Jews like to call it.
Wait, wait, wait.
What do they call it?
Slot.
Uh-huh.
Space laser of the Jews.
I got you.
Okay.
Then I'll finish with this.
If either of you two or both are anywhere near Blaine, Washington, gateway to the good
old USA, where I can still see socialism from my deck, please do not hesitate to stop by
the Vault Bistro and Wine Bar for your gratis libations and farm to table fare where your
dollars will be no good and you will be treated like the OG
gangsta kings you are and enjoy alberino I'm only 50% Jew and the pork is sublime
anyway for jingles please provide I love my truck and I love what I do which is I
have and look at that juice and jobs karma and at the round table he wants pork belly tacos and
crisp Spanish alberi or alberino which is also available from South America.
Hold on a second.
I didn't get the order in.
Hold on.
Let me see.
It is.
Sorry, I got to write this down.
What is it?
What does he wants?
Pork belly tacos.
Yeah.
Which, I mean, normally you want carnitas, but that's okay.
And a crisp Spanish alborino.
Alborino.
Alborino. That's it.
Which is a tasty wine if you ever see it.
If you're eating pork belly tacos, why not?
Mine as well. It's good to go.
Then you want to say, I love my truck. I love what I do. Look at this. Just cue me and I'll play the first part.
Wait a minute. See that juice? What was after see that juice?
Jobs Karma.
Alright, good to go. Cue.
I love my truck and I love what I do.
Oh my gosh. Can you see that juice?
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs?
Karma I finally got it in context of his note. I get the I get the joke there then we have Archduke Ditham from Japan
Archduke Mark Ditham in the house three thirty three dot thirty three long note, but it is the Archduke So here we go newly anointed Archduke Ditham in the house 333.33 long note but it is the Archduke so here we go
newly anointed Archduke Ditham here it's my first donation since the prestigious
peerage upgrade so I want to thank you both and Archduchess Astrid for your
courage in supporting my accession to this noblest of titles no agenda has
been an inspiration a friend a sounding board but above all a constant
companion since the first show thank you for making and continuing to make such a big difference in all of our lives. It's been a
crazy few months for us in Japan with new projects finishing and new competition wins.
We always attribute our success to the good karma that supporting no agenda brings. And these
Archduke Ditham and Archduchess, what is she?
Archduke Ditham and Archduchess, what is she? Dutche?
Archduchess.
Duchess Ditham, no not Ditham. Oh my God, she's going to hate me now.
Yeah, she should.
Astrid.
Astrid.
Dame Astrid. They are, they're high end architects. They do stuff for the emperor family. They do
stuff for so many.
They do, yeah, they can do buildings.
And beautiful, beautiful stuff.
Today, Monday, July 8th, when the show airs here,
remember Japan really is in the future in more ways than one,
will be my daughter, Mila's 19th birthday.
So we thought it would be great to,
a great occasion to finally dame her after securing the title last year in the big night and dame drive.
She has just finished her first year in London at Goldsmiths University studying media communications
and is loving every minute of it. And we all want to wish her even more success and good times in
her second year starting this September. She certainly will learn as much from the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group as she does from the media degree.
I hope so. Dame Milla, we love you. Big hugs from Max, Natasha and Mark. For the daming,
I'm sure she would absolutely love to participate in prosciutto and parmesan at the round table.
I've ordered it. We are looking forward to seeing you in The Keeper in October as we
tour through Texas. Love from Tokyo, where we are just
emerging from the rainy season and heading into a glorious hot summer, just like any
other year.
Thank you very much Archduke Dyson.
We appreciate you.
Michelle Petty's up.
She's in Grand Forks, North Dakota, 333.
This puts me over $2,000 making Chadwick a night, my brother for his birthday on July 8th
and me a dame. Oh, she's the old split. That's right. Split-a-roo. Split-a-rama.
Sir Chadwick and Dame Shelley, regular fare will be fine. You got it. Regular fare has been ordered.
Sir Mark is in Barron, Wisconsin, $3.33. Thank you for your courage. No jingles, no karma. Well,
He did say he wanted R2D2. So that is kind. Oh, no, it is no jingles. Just karma. Sorry I saw it.
Douchebag check for Bryce N.
Douchebag!
And Gordon Yu.
Douchebag!
That's from Sir Mark, soon to be Barron of Barron County, Wisconsin.
Nothing follows. Okay, nothing follows.
You've got...
Karma.
Dame Danny's up. She's up there in Mount Shasta, California, becomes our first associate executive producer, 222.22.
And she writes a row of ducks to say thank you for the superb shows even through the holidays.
That's us, we work on the holidays. We don't take the time off like everybody else does.

to keep things moving.
You are all the unsung heroes of the American enterprise.
I agree.
Can I get a Patriot Karma?
Do you qualify?
Do you want quality, affordable coffee?
This is what you call a non-sequitur.
Kind of.

Thank you for being executive and associate executive producers of the No Agenda Show.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Ntd. I don't typically come in with Ntd clips.
Ntd?
Ntd, yes. This is normally your beat.
It is.
But I came across a piece here, which I split into a couple of shorter clips.
Although I don't know if NTD will give this particular news item the exposure that it needs,
but it is nice to be able to point to peer-reviewed studies that prove the climate change narrative
is one big hoax.
So Alex, we've been told for a long time the climate change emergency has settled science.
It looks like it's no longer settled.
What happened?
Well, there's a series of three new peer-reviewed papers published in major prestigious scientific
journals just over the last month or so and taken together they completely undermine the alleged scientific consensus on man-made
global warming. One of them found that about 40% of the observed warming can be
explained away using the urban heat island effect. So to try to summarize
that basically a lot of these thermometers were put out there in an
open field in a rural area a city was built up around it and, and so it gets warmer, obviously, not because there's global
warming, but because there's a city around the thermometer.
The rest of the warming, they found, can be easily explained using changes in solar activity
that NASA has been tracking meticulously for many decades.
Right now, these are in the peer-reviewed literature, and instead of responding to this, you've got the climate establishment going on Twitter
and saying these guys are basically pooh-pooh heads and clowns and deniers.
So at this point you wonder, do they have a scientific response?
Because if they did, they would probably write a peer-reviewed paper to refute the ones that
just undermined their claims.
So that's the headline.
And now we can dive a little bit deeper into this peer-reviewed literature and who's a part of that. Well how did they get them
in, you know, it's hard to get a peer-reviewed paper when it
comes to these topics. What was the kind of hole in the wall that brought this
about, so to speak? You're right, it is very hard to get any peer-reviewed
studies in the journals because there's almost like an iron wall blocking
this.
We got some insight into this during the climate gate scandal in 2009 when a bunch of emails
were hacked and leaked to the public showing a bunch of so-called climate scientists, in
fact some of the leading so-called climate scientists, conspiring to hide their data
from other researchers, conspiring to hide the decline in global temperatures, and conspiring
to silence
any scientist who wouldn't go along with the narrative.
Keep them out of the journals, keep them out of TV, media interviews, etc.
What happened is these papers were just really solid.
These three journals that published them, they're not known for being climate denier
publications, but the science was very sound.
They did one special issue in the journal Climate, for example. They had some guest editors, including Dr. Ned
Nikolov, who I wrote about back in 2017. They looked at this. They said, wow, you
know, this is correct as best as we can tell. So the peers looked at it. They
accepted it. And, you know, this is a really prestigious team, Josh. We're
talking about almost 40 scientists from around the world. The lead author, Dr.
Willie Soon, one of the world's top astrophysicists, if not the top
astrophysicist, used to be at the Harvard Smithsonian.
You've got Ronan Connolly.
These are very, very well established, very prestigious, highly credentialed experts.
And it's good to finally see some alternative viewpoints published in the peer-reviewed
literature.
I think the dam is finally cracking, Josh.
Yeah, the dam is cracking. Yeah, the dam is cracking.
Yes, the dam is cracking.
We have experts who are now poor.
What effect are we seeing now that some pretty credible people are stepping forward on this?
That's exactly right.
And I reached out to a lot of scientists from my article in the Epic Times about this.
And over and over again, I kept saying, you know, I'd love to comment, but I can't because
my funding is going to be jeopardized, my grant's going to be jeopardized. If I get associated with saying that these papers are
important, I'm going to be labeled, and I won't be able to participate anymore in scientific
debates. So there's still a very real sense that that's going on. But when you look at the
scientists behind these papers, for example, Dr. Willie Soon, these are people who've now moved
away from the major institutions. Dr. Willie Soon ended These are people who've now moved away from the major institutions.
Dr. Willie Soon ended his time at Harvard-Smithsonian last year, and they're now working independently.
So they have an organization called CERES.
That's the real issue, right?
Any scientist who comes out and says, hey, the UN is not telling the truth, the federal
government's not telling the truth, their grants are going to dry up.
If they're not tenured, they're going to be at risk of losing their job.
But when you take a bunch of scientists who are completely independent, who don't need
federal grants, who don't need to participate with the UN, they have a lot more freedom.
And I think that's what's going on here.
There you go.
That will go nowhere, of course, but at least we heard it.
Absolutely nowhere.
At least we heard it.
At least we heard it.
You heard it here.
We can play this stuff until hell freezes over and nothing's going to change.
Mark it down.
Yep, that's right.
Money talks.
Money talks.
So I have some kind of funny AI clips.
I have one AI clip.
Paul, let's go with yours first.
Well, my AI clip is disconcerting.
It's about the patents. Here we go.
China is filing six times more patents in generative AI inventions than the U.S. That's
according to data from the United Nations. Generative AI produces new content from existing
information. It can be used for content creation and data analysis. This technology is growing
rapidly. Now, China seems to be ahead in terms
of the amount of patent applications. It filed applications for over 38,000 generative AI
inventions from 2014 to 2023. The U.S. filed a little over 6,000 over the same period. Chinese
patent applications range from autonomous driving to publishing to document management.
Among the top applications are ByteDance, the Chinese-owned owner of TikTok, plus Microsoft,
which backs the developer of ChatGPT.
South Korea, Japan, and India were ranked third, fourth, and fifth respectively, with India growing at the fastest rate.
Now, are these patents, are these global patents they've filed?
They must be.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Well, so that seems like there's a lot of litigation ahead in the AI to AI wars.
I invest in lawyers.
Yes.
Oh goodness.
This is going to go nowhere.
So I have two clips.
The first one is a, it's kind of first one is a throwback.
This is five years ago when Sam Altman, who already then had that annoying cadence, that
annoying explanation for things, was at the Strictly VC conference.
And of course, he had already raised a lot of money for OpenAI, which at the time, I
think might have already transitioned to a for-profit company or at least part of it.
And so you have this typical, it's on YouTube, typical VC partner lady, girl, who's asking
the questions.
And I just thought it was interesting how he explained how they thought they would get
a return on the investment for the investors, which to date, I think the last numbers we
heard, which we parlayed from CNBC was $50 billion has gone in and about three has come
out so far.
So that seems like-
Yeah.
Good luck getting your money.
If we just get a hundred billion invested,
then we'll get the money.
Yeah, that's the old joke.
You know, the guy said,
get driving around his watermelon trucks
and he's selling these watermelons.
And he says that he sells them for two bucks a piece
and he drives around and he says,
how you doing on the watermelon business?
Well, I'm losing a dollar on every watermelon. I'm losing like a hundred dollars on every load.
He says, oh, well, how are you going to fix that? He says, I'm going to get more trucks.
We'll make it up in volume. All right. So here's Altman.
You know, Google has business units and it's got objectives and it just seems like
Google has business units and it's got objectives. And it just seems like OpenAI is so sort of amorphous.
But it is a business.
So I'm just wondering.
I just love terms like this.
Yes, we're really amorphous.
What does that even mean?
What does amorphous mean?
It doesn't mean anything.
It's just VC talk.
VC gobbledygook.
We're very, we're a startup.
Mumbo jumbo.
We're an amorphous startup.
You know, that's, we, yes, Mumbo jumbo. Open AI is so sort of amorphous, but it is a business.
So I'm just wondering, like, eventually is the idea to kind of like,
license technologies? Will you have customers, you're going to be customizing algorithms for
them? Or how is it going to work? You know, the honest answer is we have no idea.
We have never made any revenue.
We have no current plans to make revenue.
We have no idea how we may one day generate revenue.
We have made a soft promise to investors that once we've
built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically
we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment
return for you.
It sounds like an episode of Silicon Valley. It really does. I get it. You can laugh. It's
all right. But it is what I actually believe is going to happen.
So there aren't many things like this where they're so difficult to reason about and so powerful that if you can build it,
like, you know, there's that joke that I actually think is very funny, which is like, step one is do this thing, step two is do this thing, question mark, question mark, question mark, profit.
But like, you know, I think if AGI is on the table, that's actually okay.
And if we have to take like, you know, one one thousandth of 1% of the value that we create and return to investors and then figure out how to share the rest sort of equally
among the world, that feels okay.
Yeah, well, that's what he's doing.
50 billion in, 3 billion out.
He's keeping to his promises.
Good luck, investors.
So then comes the news that of Moshi Moshi.
Have you heard of Moshi Moshi?
No, I have not. So Moshi Moshi, you know France has their own
AI
large language model
Mistral which actually it's open source actually use the Mistral model at home for what it's useful for
You know when I need to write project 2026, I'll use the Mistral model. So there's another company in France and they have developed Moshi Moshi, $300 million,
very modest investment in this company, only $300 million.
Holy crap, $300 million. That's a lot of money.
Yeah. That's considered modest, which is ludicrous.
So the one thing that open AI had was that demo.
And of course, you know, we also,
which was phonied up because of the latency was chopped out,
the latency and it was obviously predetermined.
Like, oh, wow, it looks like you're going to do
a presentation of some sort with these professional cameras.
Are you, you're rocking an AI hoodie.
Is it an open AI demonstration?
Wow, this thing is genius.
It's multimodal.
So, but the demo was reasonable.
You know, most of these demos really suck.
You know, Microsoft did their demo, which they then had to later,
no, Google did their demo, which they later had to admit of Gemini that they
had cut out, you know, seconds and seconds of latency.
So the French come out, they come out with Moshi Moshi and they give it to
They come out with Moshi Moshi and they give it to the France 24 technology editor. You will not believe this demo.
France's answer to the AI revolution took a big step this week with the release of Moshi,
a voice bot which responds with a nerving speed and emotion.
Now to test it out, I can welcome on set Peter O'Brien.
I mean, this is already the setup is great.
It's we are going against open AI.
France is better.
Viva la France!
Viva la France!
We have a better better for cheaper.
Peter, introduce us to Moshi.
Hi, Alison.
So Moshi is the product of a nonprofit Qtai,
which was founded in November by three billionaires,
Saviniel, Vrudov Sade and Eric Schmidt, formerly of Google.
Now it's really one of France's two big hopes
when it comes to AI.
The other one is Mistral, the startup that's raised
about six, it's been valued about six billion euros
since it was founded last April.
Now there's less pressure on Qtie.
It's a non-profit and it has a more meagre, shall
we say, budget of 300 million euros. But they have set themselves a high standard and a big
task which is to, they say, create artificial general intelligence. That's AI. That's meant to,
theoretically at least, be smarter than a human being. Now we talked to the CEO, Patrick Perez, a few months
ago and he said that the way they were going to do this was by really focusing on something
called multimodal AI. That's AIs that can do many different things at once. And we've
just got the first proofs of their labor out this week, which is Moshi, a research prototype
that is you can talk to. It's a voice bot. I've been having a few different conversations
with it. Take a listen to a snippet of one of them.
Okay, so that's the setup.
It's multimodal, which by the way,
I think you and I are both multimodal.
It's amazing how multimodal we are.
I'm not really sure what that means.
It means you can understand video and pictures and text
and audio, we're multimodal.
So- Oh, you mean like normal people.
Yes, like people.
So he sets it up.
Now what you see on screen looks like HAL 2000.
Yeah.
Of course.
It's what you want.
You will not believe the demo that this 300, meager $300 million company allowed them to
show on France 24.
Stand by.
Who's your friend?
I don't remember his name.
I don't remember who it was, but he said that his roommate was Joe Biden.
And he said, I think he said he was eating ice cream before he went to bed.
To be fair, that sounds a lot like Joe Biden.
He loves ice cream.
Yeah.
I think he was saying that he was eating ice cream before he went to bed.
And then he went into the room and there was a girl there.
Oh yeah.
And she was eating ice cream and they started making out.
The girls started making out with Joe Biden.
I think that's what it was.
Are you kidding me?
So that female voice was the AI, I guess. Yes.
But the AI…
And what was it talking about?
It was talking about this guy's friend whose roommate was Joe Biden and Joe Biden was eating
an ice cream and then a girl came in, not woman, a girl came in eating ice cream and
then Joe Biden and the girl started making out.
So the demonstration was of a hallucination.
Yes.
To say the least. A pedophile hallucination.
And a pedi- well, they get, at least they're getting some of it right.
Man, oh man.
I was like, that's your demo?
That's pretty, pretty pathetic.
It's unbelievable.
That was actually on TV.
That was on TV, yes.
Did it go on any further or did they cut it off or what happened?
It wasn't funny after that.
That was the funniest bit.
Yeah, they were like, oh, well, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, he always eats ice cream and makes out with girls. What in the world is
happening with AI? Although it's probably the most accurate. It all has to do with the input.
The most accurate AI. Very accurate AI.
Then of course, they're finally catching on a little bit about the issues with AI. Here's the BBC.
Now we hear a lot about AI or artificial intelligence and its possible impact.
Now it seems that the global greenhouse gas emissions of the US technology giant Google
were nearly 50% higher last year than in 2019.
That's because of the increasing amounts of energy needed by its computer servers,
fueled by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence.
This will make achieving so-called net zero emissions by 2030 significantly more difficult.
So this is a narrative that's going on in Europe and the UK that is very annoying to
Google.
So they sent out one of their, I think she's a scholar, Amanda Smith.
Do you know Amanda Smith?
She used to work at Google.
Amanda Smith, the name rings a bell,
but I don't know that I can say.
Well, she tries to combat the narrative.
Google's greenhouse gas emissions are skyrocketing.
Yeah, so three years ago,
Google set an ambitious plan to address climate change
by going net zero by 2030, but its latest
environmental report shows it's nowhere near to meeting those goals. Google's emissions surged
48% compared to 2019 and increased 13% year over year in 2023. The tech giant says it's
because of the energy needed by its data centers exacerbated by the growth of artificial intelligence
and that its net zero emissions goals are now quote, extremely ambitious. Google's report also reveals large global
disparities in the impacts of its data centers. Most of the ones in Europe and the Americas,
for example, get the majority of their energy from carbon free sources, unlike centers in
the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Tech companies also make the case that AI is not
just a negative force when it comes
to climate change, but that it's also helping to address it. Take a listen to this expert.
We have to understand that if we are using more energy to do something, that energy we want to
push for it to come from renewable and low carbon sources as much as possible. But we also have to ask the question, what's the benefit we're getting from the status
center or from this use of AI?
Is it benefiting humanity?
Is it making our lives better?
Is it making our society more equitable?
So it's just important to understand AI can be a force that increases emissions and AI
can be a force that decreases emissions.
It's up to us as humans to watch what we're doing with it.
And let's stay with the theme of emissions. General Motors are facing a pretty hefty fine.
That's right. Federal officials.
Sorry about that. That shouldn't have been on there. So yeah, so they say, well, but you know, the benefits of AI will far outweigh the killing of the earth and using of our resource. This is from the same company that installs a thermostat in your house that
turns down your air conditioner or your heat to save the world.
Yet they're blowing up the world so-called with their data centers.
This is becoming-
It's like the people are bitching about climate change and then they jump in
their private jets.
It's yes, only on a much, much larger scale.
Yes.
Much larger scale.
Yeah, they put themselves in a bind with this.
Yeah.
There were big shots.
Oh, we're going to stop.
We're going to have zero emissions, neutral, blah, blah, blah by 2030.
Then they jump on the AI bandwagon.
It just sucks up juice like there's no tomorrow.
And what are the benefits? We get artists now that can do AI art.
And okay, well that's...
Yeah, and we, well, they're getting better. I mean, we know that Joe Biden
eats ice cream and makes out with girls.
Yeah, we got that part. But we knew that already.
Yeah, didn't need to burn all that fossil fuel for that.
Yeah, didn't need to burn all that fossil fuel for that.
Here, this is a little series of clips here.
This is regarding, you know, we still have a couple of wars going on.
No one seems to talk about because, you know, Kamala Harris, Biden, Trump,
AI, you know, people, young people are dying, dying on Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, and they'll send me like a signal or a telegram. It's gruesome. It's so gruesome. See these young people just dead,
dead, dismembered, you know.
Yeah, they're killing out the gene pool of the Ukrainian men.
But you don't see that, you know,
there's no reality of war in the mainstream media.
No reality.
They should really,
they should, if you want to end it, do stuff like that.
Or if you want to end it, how about making peace?
Well, that's exactly what Viktor Orban, oh my goodness, he's the Trump of Europe.
Viktor Orban, the president of Hungary, who now assumes the presidency of the European
Council, he went, what? He went to have a chat with Putin? Oh no!
The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
On the heels of Orban's trip to Ukraine, Putin received Orban at the Kremlin and said he was ready to discuss so-called nuances of peace proposals to end his war in Ukraine. Hungary just took
over the EU's rotating presidency and the visit is being heavily criticized by
EU leaders who say Orban has no mandate to speak for the bloc. Orban has been
critical of the EU. Hold on a second. So meanwhile, Vandera Lion, who is when she was
running the show, which still she's still queen.
Yes.
She was floating around doing all kinds of stuff without a mandate.
Yeah, including actual mandating of vaccinations.
Yeah, and doing deals with Pfizer and spending money that she didn't,
wasn't allowed to do.
But this, okay.
I just thought I'd throw that in to make sure that we remember that.
So the reporter that's about to come in,
it doesn't come across quite as good.
This is Deutsche Welle.
Doesn't come in quite as good,
but she has a sneering, eye rolling kind of,
you know the kind that I'm talking about,
oh, Orban.
Orban has no mandate to speak for the bloc.
Orban has been critical of the EU for its reluctance to pressure Ukraine into negotiations with Russia.
Our president Putin and prime minister Orban have just addressed a joint press conference
and our correspondent Emily Sherman in Riga has been keeping a close eye on that.
She's in Riga for some reason.
I don't know what that has to do with anything, but she's in Riga.
And Emily, what did the two leaders say?
Well, there was, it seems that there was a real focus on, in their talks on Ukraine and
on Ukraine, potential peace process there.
Putin repeated his claim that Russia has and has always been and still is open for diplomatic negotiations to end fighting.
He portrayed Ukraine as the stumbling block there and as he called them Ukraine's Western
sponsors who he blamed for basically blocking the peace.
Of course this is rhetoric that we've heard from Putin before. When it comes to Orban, he was firmly positioning himself as a potential intermediary for the Ukraine
conflict. He said that there's hardly any leaders nowadays who are able to talk to both
sides in the conflict, both Russia and Ukraine. And today with his visit to Moscow, he was
portraying himself as one of those very few leaders, as he said.
Oh, yes. Oh, eye roll smirk air quotes. Oh no, so
It so what happened is what wait wait, this was france 24 or dw dw deutchewelle, of course
So what he did is he got a reasonably regular plane. I think a seven it looked like a 737
uh, and he and he flew first to meet with Zelensky. And then
they did some trickery so that he could fly out of there and then flew over Poland. And then
he did a U-turn and then he went to Moscow. And before anyone knew it, he was already landing
in Moscow. He had to do all this covert stuff to get over there. And on the plane, and this is just a regular
plane, it's in the plane, there's like a YouTuber dude or a podcaster who literally has one of those
Rode wireless mics, kind of the big square ones, on a stick. And he's in there interviewing Orban, and it's like a 30-minute interview.
And I had to pull a couple of clues from him.
That's pretty creative.
Very creative.
And he starts off by saying, well, why are you doing this?
To make peace is a Christian action.
It's a Christian attitude-based action.
Because if you would like to approach the peace on a
political way, you start to become more and more bureaucratic. What kind of
negotiation authority you have, what the council will say, what the high foreign
policy representation of council will say, Mr. Borrell, how to, you know, so it's
getting more and more complicated. So if you would like to behave motivated by moral points and pieces of moral issue, so you have to prepare
yourself spiritually. So that's what I have done. To make a decision knowing that bad
reaction will come from the Western process whatsoever, but being convinced that this
is the only way and this is the duty I have to do now
because I remain the only Western leader, I'm the only Western leader now who can have a chance to
talk at the same time with Kiev and Moscow. All the others created a situation when they have no
chance to direct communicate with the two main actors, especially with
the Russians.
So here's this horrible, horrible guy who invokes the God card like blessed are the
peacemakers like, oh, you know, I got to go make some peace.
I'm uniquely positioned to do this.
So our roving reporter with his mic on a stick has three questions.
So my first purpose was to put the questions directly, three questions basically.
The first president, what do you think about the peace plans which are already on the table?
Do you know what the Ukrainians are thinking, what Americans are thinking, what Geneva global
peace meeting create?
But what is your position on that?
I love this guy, just like, hey Putin, what's your position on that? I love this guy, he's just like, hey, Putin, what's your position on that? What do you think?
I mean, you know what everyone else thinks, this is so normal, such a normal kind of good thing to do.
What did he say? And what is your position on the Chinese proposal as well? And what do you think
about the frame and the process process how these peace talks are going
on and you are not invited?
So what do you think about it?
So that was the first to get to know, to clarify what is his understanding.
He said that it's obvious that real negotiations cannot happen without the involvement of both
parties.
So whatever they are doing without him, it means nothing.
Which is quite logical anyway.
The second, he was very clear that they have already reacted to the first Ukrainian position
and proposal which happened in April 2022.
And what the reaction was in the document of the Russians to that is still relevant.
So on that basis, they are still ready to communicate and negotiate and so on.
On the Chinese plan, Chinese-Brazilian plan,
he said that they consider everything, even that one.
So that was the first.
So the 2022 agreement that Boris Johnson went in to stop is still on the table.
I think that's kind of interesting to know.
So this is the podcaster talking?
No, that's Orban talking. That's Orban.
He's, I misstated, he's the one that asked Putin three questions and he's telling us what really went down.
All Deutsche Welle gives is,
you don't represent us, dude.
So
now he continues with the other answers to his questions for Putin.
My second question was, President,
how do you see the chance to have a short, limited
ceasefire earlier than the real negotiations on peace can start?
And he said he's not optimistic on that.
He, you know, Zelensky said that he's not optimistic because the Russians would use it against the Ukrainians.
Putin said that the Ukrainians would use it against Russia.
And what did you say to him?
I said let's consider. I understand your argument, but think about it.
Every day is important because we are under the pressure of the time, because the dying young people. But at least think about it. Don't throw it away. Just think about it.
Next term we can continue.
And the third question was I raised that, President, do you have a vision or even a plan
how the security architecture of Europe will look like when the war is over.
So not just to concentrate on today, but how the future, which could be the surrounding
and arrangement for one or two generations of our kids and grandkids.
So what is your plan?
I said we have a detailed plan.
So we know how we imagine the relationship between Russia and European Union
and the West and how we should set it up. It's too early to speak about it,
but they are ready to cause that on anybody with that, on that.
So the final clip is he's going to say, look, this is what I achieved. And it seems like Putin may even be open to some NATO expansion or some changes.
I mean, your mission this week is a case study in surprise.
I mean, you have totally wrong footed the European Union.
Some of your colleagues have twittered.
They have commented on that.
There was a huge reaction in the media what is your
essential takeaway from these two meetings are we closer to peace what is
your assessment of the results of these two meetings that's first reaction on
the comments so guys I understand that you are not used to that kind of behaviour of the
rotating president of the European Union. But if we consider this issue from a bureaucratic
eyeglass, a bureaucratic approach, nothing will happen. Because peace cannot be generated
by bureaucrats. It's impossible. Okay, bureaucrats are useful. They have to work.
High representative, head of the Commission and so on, European institution.
Bureaucratic good, but it's not enough. First we have to understand that peace will not born by itself.
Peace is something which must be done. Many people have to work for it and on it.
If you don't do that, there will be no peace. If you would like to change the bet for good, we have to do something.
This is the first.
And when we realize that we have to do something, it cannot be bureaucratic,
it must be political.
Because only political leaders can manage to find a way, the shortest way to the peace.
So what is the first step? First step is reopen the diplomatic relationship
and reopen the communication channel.
That's happened today.
I think this guy can get something done
if they don't kill him.
Well, he's obviously aware of the problems
with him getting killed or he wouldn't have taken
that circumvention tour through Poland to get his jet into Russia.
So he's not an idiot. Uh, interesting. I don't know what to make of that,
but okay.
I think what we make of it is that the media and the bureaucracy, as he says,
I don't want peace. They want war. They just want to continue war.
And he says, the media likes war. It sells papers.
It's ratings. I know. It's ratings.
But even though they're not taking advantage, full advantage of it, so they're not even milking it as well as they could.
So that makes you wonder what's wrong with them, like idiots.
It's like throwing money away.
You know who their overlords are.
They're you know, it's like throwing money away, you know who their overlords are and so the
so the only people really benefiting isn't even the media is the arms makers and
Deutsche Welle uncloked a little bit about some this is short about something we already knew of course
What is really at play here Russia's war on Ukraine has?
Ranged on now for over two years and the cost of both sides have been immense.
One of the possible spoils, however, a victory could also be what is in the ground.
Ukraine has huge deposits of lithium.
That's an important metal for batteries that power electric cars or smartphone.
Fighting near the Ukrainian village of Korohovo earlier this year. or smartphone. of natural resources that could make Russia's war financially pay off. In addition to lithium, there are significant oil, gas, metal ores, rare earth and precious
metals buried beneath the soil, potentially worth more than 20 trillion dollars.
20 trillion.
Well, I find that number hard to believe.
But if there's housing and all the rest on top, it's probably a good idea to have a war
that way you wipe out the housing without having to bring in the bulldozers and you
without having to evict people.
Oh, you know, you have to move sort of because we can, there's a lithium mine right under
you that by the way, you're part owner of because you own the mineral rights to the
property in many countries and well, too bad you've been killed.
I just love how they make it look like that's what Putin's after.
Putin can go get from China.
It's what you're after.
The European Union is after it.
The Western nations, the Western alliance, NATO, they're after that.
They already took all the farmland.
It's like, come on.
Yeah, we need it more than Russia does.
Yeah, they're not showing the dead kids.
Russia's not like a big lithium operation.
They need to show more dead kids on TV.
That'll get people thinking.
Start the draft.
Yeah, and the lone shoe and rubble.
Oh, that's the best.
Yeah, shoe and rubble.
Shoe and mud. Shoe and rubble. Oh, that's the best. Yeah, shoe and rubble. Shoe and mud. Shoe and rubble and mud.
Yeah.
Preferably with a foot still in it.
That gets people's attention.
Well, that gets people's attention.
Hey, did you hear the latest side effect of Wigovia and Ozempic and other weight loss
drugs, GLP-1 drugs, soon to be on Medicare?
Did you hear the latest?
Yeah, it makes you blind.
The weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wigovia are being linked to a variety of drugs.
They're linked to a variety of drugs.
They're linked to a variety of drugs.

They're linked to a variety of drugs.
They're linked to a variety of drugs. They're linked to a variety of drugs. They're linked to a variety of drugs. They're linked to a variety of drugs. They're linked to a variety of drugs. and other weight loss drugs, GLP-1 drugs, soon to be on Medicare. Did you hear the letters?
Yeah, it makes you blind.
The weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wigovia are being linked to a rare form of blindness.
A new study found patients taking those drugs at a higher risk of developing the condition,
which is caused by a loss of blood flow to the optic nerve.
But scientists say more researchers needed to determine if the drugs actually caused
the eye condition.
The drugs maker says patient safety is a top priority and it's taking the study seriously.
Oh yeah, we're all over it.
So this condition is called NAIN, which you spell N-A-I-O-N, nine, nine, I can't really
pronounce it, nine.
And here's a little longer explanation of what could happen to you.
On the Medical Watch today, a new study finds some popular weight loss and diabetes drugs And here's a little longer explanation of what could happen to you.
On the Medical Watch today, a new study finds some popular weight loss and diabetes drugs
may lead to a condition that causes a form of blindness.
That condition is known as non.
It's a type of eye stroke that causes sudden, painless vision loss in one eye.
Study published...
I like that.
It's painless though.
Don't worry.
It's sudden, but it's painless.
Painless vision loss in one eye.
Study published in the medical journal JAMA ophthalmology found non in some patients taking
semi-glutide medications like ozimbic and Mugovie.
The drugs are prescribed to treat diabetes and help weight loss.
Studies showed people with diabetes are four times more likely to be diagnosed with non
if they're taking a prescription semi-glutide.
Overweight or obese people taking the medication
are seven times more likely to experience the condition.
Non is rare, occurring in just 10 out of 100,000 people.
But don't worry, it's painless.
So it's one out of 10,000 is another way of putting it.
I don't want to be one.
Yeah, it's a number, it's risky. out of 10,000 is another way of putting it. Hey, I don't want to be one. Yeah.
I said numbers.
Yeah.
That's a risky.
It's very risky.
Nobody wants that.
Do you have anything else?
Yeah.
I wanted a couple of little, just to say you did some international stuff.
I thought this was weird.
This is the, the, what's going on in Greece.
The 48 hour work week. it goes against everybody's trends.
Oh, here it is.
Yes, I heard about this too.
Greece has implemented a six-day working week and a move to enhance productivity and employment.
The regulation was enacted on July 1st.
It defies the global trend of companies considering a shorter workweek. Employees of private businesses offering 24-7 services will have the option to work an extra
two hours per day or an extra eight hour shift.
This is according to new legislation passed last year as part of broader labor laws.
Now I heard about this and I thought, is that a bad thing?
Is Greece trying to literally work themselves up? They're trying to get bad thing? And is Greece trying to act literally work?
They're trying to get it together is what they're trying to do.
And it turns out that their lack of productivity can be corrected a
bit, making people work more.
Yes.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Hey, we got it.
We all got to get together.
When you're going in the other direction, you're a socialist communist.
Well, you're working less 30 hours a week.
Yeah.
Four days. Wake up and go to the working less, 30 hours a week. Yeah. Four days.
Wake up and go to the beach, read my book.
Yes.
Go to the beach, read your book, drink your coffee, read your book and then
bitch and moan.
Yeah, perfect.
The other thing is Duke Foley sent me a clip from, it's a TikTok clip.
Of course.
But these, these, uh, the people should go back and get copies of the hot shots movies from the
nineties where you had this guy, president bench Benson.
Was that with the Charlie Sheen? Was he in hot shots?
I don't know. He might've been, but the guy who played the president was, uh,
was the, uh, the old Lloyd bridges. Yeah.
Yes.
Lloyd bridges played a Biden.
No.
And even this clip, you can get some Biden out of it.
This is the president Benson clip.
And it, it just said when you, I have to get these, I actually now have a copy of the movies.
I was right.
Charlie Sheen was in it.
I was right.
Oh, was he?
Okay.
Well, these were the part of that. This was during that era of airplane and all these crazy movies that were all
satirical and funny. And, uh, this clip is got this guy is a, he is Biden.
Do you remember those early nineties comedy movies, hot shots and hot shots
part two, it's uncanny, but the Admiral and then later the president Benson is like a
prediction of Joe Biden.
Check him out.
What is it Bob?
If Edwards gets wind of this, he'll use it against you in the campaign.
He'll try to prove that you're incompetent.
I can prove that as well as he can.
There's no one better.
Cookie.
Let's go get the door, huh?
Well, Walters, looks like we've got our saboteur.
That's your wife, sir.
Yeah, so it is.
Let's get this over with.

Duke Foley brings the heat and I have to say without a doubt
Please perfect perfect
That's him. So these people should dig those movies up and get a kick out of predict this type of movies are really missed But they're they're missed it predictive programming. A little too early, but it was there.
Yeah, I'd say.
It was there.
Well, that was good.

NOAA Gender Roundtable
Yo, yo, it is just like a party and we have had some parties going on. Two big ones that I've
been looking forward to these reports since they come from overseas. The first one is from Perth Australia. It
was a big meetup. I was surprised how many people are in the beautiful western
part of Australia where it is very very green. I visited there. I took that
stupid train to get there but man what a good-looking group.
This is producer Vangelis and we're here at Gates Rose in Fremantle for No Agenda.
In the morning to all the fellow douchebags out there.
ITM, Madame and John, it's Black Knight Saroy, long time listener, good to be at a meet-up.
I am so happy to be at the ENA meet-up, about as happy as AOC's abuela on New Rift Day.
Hell yeah, I love you, long time, all good, make it happen.
Connection is protection.
I'm new to it but not new to everything that's happening.
Hey it's Trent Drake.
Look, just keep an eye on any burglar information.
Shout out to Carl Drake.
So overboard that he didn't even turn up.
In the morning from Alex Gough from Perfutus in Australia.
Adam and John, we love listening to you.
Gentlemen, I'm afraid you've got me with more than my hands,
but I'm not a spook.
I've never been put on the spot so much.
Ever in my entire life, and I like not a spook. I've never been put on the spot so much. Ever in my entire life.
And I like it. Stay strong.
In the morning, John and Adam, this is the bulk
invader from Perth, Western Australia.
Shooting, rooting, we out!
In the morning, douchebags, we might be retarded, but at least we didn't shut our pants.
This is Josh from Fremantle WA,
that's Western Australia, not Washington, John.
And it's good to be here, brof.
Night from Perth, in the meetup in the morning
From Frio Jersey represent and I beat Medicare. Hi John and Adam
I'm the only girl in the whole crowd the dudettes and getting all the boys attention in the morning
In the morning, this is Richard of the lands down under welcome to Fremantle
Thank you for your courage in the morning John Adam. Standing in Frio with the crew, mate.
Train's good, plane's bad.
In the morning, Adam and John.
I've heard about this cold Bongino.
It doesn't work here.
In the morning from douchebag Sefsky here in Fremantle,
saying adios, mofos, hooy, hooy.
In the morning!
Wow, they sent a picture, man.
What a great group.
And they don't sound like they're in the slave colony at all.
They sound like free men and one woman.
Yeah, Perth's a little different.
Yeah, she looked very worried in the picture.
I don't blame her.
And another-
Get some more gals into the event.
And it definitely rivals the Indiana meetup in size.
Fantastic. Then we had the London
meetup held in Kent. Guf hosted that and of course he put together a dynamite report for us.
Kennt on Thursday July the 4th 2024.
In the morning it's been non-stop postal votes today. I'll fix it in post.
Give me a moment, I can't think of anything to say.
No, you did this last time.
I'm from the centre of the universe which is Hayes and Bromley 5am.
Hi, I'm Emma, not raped, and nobody has said the word Paki in the UK since the 1980s.
Hey, it's Sarah here at Never Did The Meet Up at Griff's pub. Fantastic pub, well worth
the long journey. And it's happy July the 4th where I voted none of the above.
I don't like being put on the spot.
It's good enough for me. Too many eggs! None of the above. I don't like being put on the spot.
It's good enough for me.

They're producer organized, which means they're fun, they're low key, everyone brings their
good humor, their good attitude, a couple of bucks.
Tip your waiters and waitresses and have a good time.
NoagendaMeetups.com.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself.
It's easy and always a party. Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You wanna be where you want be. Triggered or held lame.
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Yay! Always like a party at Yay! It's always like a party at the No Agenda Meetups.
Alright, ISO time.
We always like to choose what we end the show with.
We always have a fun little opening of the show,
and we'd like everyone to be a part of the choosing of the closing of the show.
I can only see one on your list today.
Is it a banger?
I only have one.
But is it a banger? I don't know. It's a good one. I liked it.
All right, here we go. I don't want to work. I don't want to work. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't really
that legible, to be honest. No. Well, here's what I have. It seemed legible at the time I did it.
Yeah, it always sounds better when you do it, I think. Here's what I have. It seemed legible at the time I did it. Yeah, it always sounds better when you do it, I think.
Here's what I have.
Crack on.
Crack on.
I know, underwhelming, I know.
Here's another one.
Question mark, question mark, question mark, profit.
This one I think is the winner.
Our amygdalas are on fire.
Okay.
Right, I figured. It's not good news, it's good advice.
John sees tip of the day.
Ladies and gentlemen, time for the tip of the day, which will not be a Costco tip because
they're now in the boycott.
They weren't boycotting Costco.
And I had a great Costco tip.
Too bad.
Too bad, Costco boys.
You screwed it up.
So there's a product I recommend, I recommend over the years these different kinds of high
end usually synthetic lubricants and Ranch Hand was always the favorite.
Yes, Ranch Hand was always the favorite.
Really fabulous product, there's a couple other spray ones.
The problem with Ranch Hand, I'll tell you right now, is like if you spray it on a door jam or something,
and just a minuscule amount gets on the floor,
you'll kill yourself.
Yeah, you're slipping and sliding forever.
Yeah, and you can't wash it off, it's unbelievable.
But I do have another product that's a little more direct,
and it's sold as a clock,
a clock lubricant,
but it's useful for useful especially for keyholes and door hinges and pretty much
anything that needs lubrication.
I always use WD-40 for that.
Don't use WD-40.
Use liquid bearing.
It's at Costco.
It's on it's a cut. It's at Costco. It's on Amazon It's called liquid bearing and it's for it's for grandfather clocks, but it's really for everything
It's one of these
Super slippery synthetic oils, but it comes in a in a bottle that has a little
Like a needle on the end and you can put just one drop somewhere
Wow bearing and it's a RING liquid bearing a bearing like the ball bearing. Oh, okay, bearing.
And it is expensive at 18 bucks, but it is, and it lasts, I've had this bottle for 10 years, it
lasts forever because you don't use much, with the ranch and you spray it all or you waste a lot of
it. This is a terrific product I recommend, people should check it out, it's called Liquid Bearing,
it's about 18 bucks.
Nothing like a lubricant tip of the day
from John's Jamorah.
All right everybody, thanks for coming out tonight.
We got one more for you.
It's called The Tip by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak.
There's your tip everybody.
Beautiful, yum.
Beautiful.
End of show mixes. Not John's favorite, but they're there.
We got to Professor J. Jones.
Also, Randy Smith brings us a little Smiths.
Very short, but it's fun.
And let's see, up next we've got, oh, we've got Fun Fact Friday with Layla and Dad David.
Glad you're still doing that podcast.
In fact, episode 192.
Yeah.
That's a great father daughter project.
It's a podcast.
Take that Costco.
And we return on Thursday. Bastards.
Looking forward to seeing everybody then.
And until then, I'm coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
It's in FEMA region number six, Fredericksburg, Texas.
Come visit us, y'all.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where, by the way, it's still fogged in and it's kind
of chilly.
So much for your global warming.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com for your treasure of time, talent and treasure.
Until next time, adios, mofos, a hooey hooey, and such. I'm talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Right, the significance of the passage of time.
So when you think about it,
it's far out.
There is great significance of the passage of time in terms of what we need to do.
Also, where is the...
And there is such great significance to the passage of time
when we think about a day in the life of our children.
What are you people? On dope?
It's far out of here.
Biting in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious.
Biden in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious.
First black female vice president.
She has brown skin, but she's Jamaican, she's Canadian, and she's Indian.
Brahmin. She's Brahmin.
Yeah, she's a Brahmin.
Yeah.
Talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Whoa.
I mean, he just drops that in.
Talking about the significance of the passage of time.
Who should Kamala's vice president be?
Hello, Van.
Do you think people are underestimating Kamala Harris?
Like a lead balloon.
The point about progress, the ability to have a vision and a belief and some faith in what can be unburdened by what has been.
She'd be totally underestimated. And politics having low expectations is one of the greatest advantages you could have.
She's black.
The significance of the passage of time.
Yeah, put my money on her.
Who should Kamala Harris' vice president be?
This is like worse than a bad novel.
This is great.
You think that Kamala Harris,
the blowjob artist from the Bay Area.
Whoa.
I can imagine what can be
and be unburdened by what has been.
I think people will totally underestimate
the vice president.
I put my money on her.
There is great significance to the passage of time.
Look at her approval rating with Democrats, 84%.
She's much more popular than the president with young voters.
Is when she actually says things that people start scratching their head over.
This is like the novel Being There.
What can't be unburdened by what has been.
About Chauncey Gardner, who is a gardener.
There is great significance to the passage of time.
Some woman, just all of a sudden she's
President of the United States.
Every time she says passage of time, you take a shot.
Unburdened by what has been.
Brahmin, she's Brahmin, I would say.
Yeah, she's a Brahmin.
Because Kamala has to step up now, and she's got to make sure that the one thing we all know, she's black.
As they say, they not like us.
As they say, they not like us.
The significance of the passage of time.
When she ran for president, she's one of the first to drop out because no Democrats liked her at all.
And there is such great significance to the passage of time. 82% of all the Democrats love her at all. And there is such great significance to the passage of time.
82% of all the Democrats love her.
Love her.
Please.
Brahmin.
She's Brahmin.
Yeah, she's a Brahmin.
Yeah.
Talking about the significance of the passage of time. The best podcast in the universe!
Adios, mofo.
