Starting point is 00:00:00 I recommend a tinfoil hat, personally. FEMA region number six in the morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where Rachel Maddow is full of shit, I'm John C. D'Avora. It's crackpot and buzzkill. Come on man. That's right everybody, this is your typical morning zoo show. You heard it right here.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Woo, yeah, my daddy was a beetle. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow, okay. You're mad at Rachel. What did she do? Show me on the Rachel doll where she hurt you. Well, you want me to go to the pitch on weird? I'd love for you to go to the pitch on weird.
Starting point is 00:00:58 So the Democrats have decided to use the term weird. Can I just say, can I just say the stuff that's going on right now is the stuff that media deconstructionists dream of. It is so blatantly, stupidly obvious. I have three clips. Okay, let's hear them. First I have the super cut of the use of the word weird on MSNBC, CNN, and various mainstream outlets. Some of what he and his running mate are saying, well it's just plain weird.
Starting point is 00:01:33 These guys are just weird. That's where they are. As weird and creepy as JD Vance. Super weird idea from JD Vance. Yeah, it's not. I mean, it's quite weird. They're just plain weird. Just plain weird. Just plain weird. That stuff is weird. They come across weird and then they start being weird. Yeah, they're weird. Being a really weird. It's such a weird opening. Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate. They're weird. Deeply and profoundly weird. They are weird.
Starting point is 00:02:01 These Republicans just being weird, it's just weird. It's really weird. Republican weirdness goes even deeper. He said a lot of things that are weird, the weird style that he brings, weird policies. Let's start with the weird thing, because it is a thing. Just plain weird. What was weird was talking about diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks diet Mountain Dew?
Starting point is 00:02:21 Whoever's seen the guy laugh, that seems very weird to me that an adult can go through six and a half years of being in the public eye. If he has laughed, it's at someone, not with someone. That is weird behavior. Weird and cultish. These are weird people on the other side. It kind of doubled down on his weird ideas.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I think weird is probably generous. It's simply weird. These guys are just plain weird. Vance as weird? You know, as the campaign said, weird. It really is just plain weird. JD Vance, plain weird. I mean, I? You know as the campaign said weird? It really is just plain weird. JD Vance plain weird. I mean I don't know how else you could read it. It is kind of weird. It is kind of weird. We're not afraid of weird people. On the other side they're just weird. Why are you being so weird?
Starting point is 00:02:54 Vance has done something more extreme, more weird. No matter what kind of weird stuff they keep saying. Trump and Vance are just weird. In addition, they should be interested in democracy. That's the weird part that's the most engaging. Whom he addressed as, my beautiful Christians, which was super weird. Weird tech bro, JD Vance. He's a weird guy. JD Vance, uneasy and sort of weird. Frankly, for lack of a better word, that he's weird. ...requastic remarks that aren't even funny and he kind of shows that he can't really deliver a one-liner.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So Sam, weird is the word here in terms of initial impressions from Vance to the American public. This was really, dare I say it, weird that they did this. Definition of weird is strange or of strange or extraordinary character, odd or fantastic, of relating to or caused by, witchcraft or the supernatural, magical. So it's an odd choice of slam. As we continue, the odd choice would be deconstructed by, of all people, Scott Adams. But first of all, after all this,
Starting point is 00:04:05 they went through all this, Rachel had her show on Monday, not to be outdone. She was given her marching orders to use the word weird. And this is in the first half hour of the show, I went through the trouble of cutting out every use of her term weird, 41 seconds full of them, in just just 30 minutes and here we go.
Starting point is 00:04:27 So you ready for a weird one? This is a truly weird one. And of all the weird things, actually not all that weird. A little weird with the Republican campaign. Personally weird or that JD Vance is personally weird. It's that there is something weird. Weird isn't a pejorative term necessarily. Who among us isn't a little weird, right? Weird is not necessarily bad, intrinsically. There is weird stuff like that right on the surface. It was part of his weird rambling never to do some weird stuff. Part of what's so weird about the Donald Trump campaign, there's a lot that is weird.
Starting point is 00:04:55 But there is one last thing in terms of the weirdness of this campaign. All the weirdness around this campaign. Surface level weirdness. That's a weird thing. That's a weird thing. All of this is weird. Surface level weird behavior. The weirdness of this campaign is astonishing 99 days out. Well now I'm very excited to hear Scott Adams because he's the hypnotist and he understands
Starting point is 00:05:15 what's the term he always uses. He always uses a term for it. Something like, what's the term he uses? I don't know. Yeah, for convincing people. It's strong, not influence, it's some other word he uses. Yeah, the chat room will come up with it as we play his interpretation. Now I'm not totally convinced of this, but at least he's looking at- Persuasion, I'm sorry, persuasion, that's the term. He at least has one handle on it, which may or may not be part of it. This is part of his, I had to obviously cut stuff out and then I had to shorten it because
Starting point is 00:05:58 Scott rambles. Talks long. Yes, he's a rambler. He's a rambler. But here we go. This is what he thinks is going on Well, apparently the Democrats have decided that they're gonna use the word weird to describe I guess By the way, it's already working on Scott. He just said the word weird without even intending to say it Yes, that's amazing. That's amazing. Well apparently the Democrats have decided that...
Starting point is 00:06:26 I'm sorry? I was just going to say that you have to remember that this is all, this all began with J.D. Vance calling the childless cat women and that was determined to be weird when in fact we've all known this idea since the Simpsons for the last 25 years which always had a catwoman in there and there's nothing weird about it but okay here we go. Well apparently the Democrats have decided that they're gonna use the word weird to describe I guess JD Vance and Trump. Now you you might say to yourself, weird? That's like such a weak overused, weird word. And Vivek Ramaswamy has a similar idea. He says, this whole, they're
Starting point is 00:07:15 weird argument from the Democrats is dumb and juvenile. This is a presidential election, not a high school prom queen contest. It's also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches diversity inclusion. Win on policy if you can, but cut the crap, please. Now, I'm going to tell you what you didn't expect. This is probably professional work. Remember when I spotted dark in the Clinton Trump election? As soon as they all said Trump's speech is dark, I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's professional. That's not something that regular politicians come up with. That word makes you fear without any details.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Oh, it's dark? Ooh, everything bad is dark. And then you put all the bad fear that you have for the dark into Trump. Very professional manipulation of minds. Weird is probably that good. Here's what you might not know. Young women use that word a lot.
Starting point is 00:08:19 If you're talking to a young woman about a topic that she's not interested in, and you say, oh, this or that happened. What is she going to say while she's looking at her phone? Looking at a phone, now that's weird. And then you tell a story about a person who did a thing that isn't usually done. What does the young woman with the phone say about that person? That's weird. Weird is the universal word that young women use for everything that doesn't fit their model.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And it's a good catch-all for their base. Hmm. Well, Scott Adams is the expert on young women. So we know that. Okay, yeah. But I have a young woman in the house here, had her here for four weeks, and she's definitely on the phone in that age group, and I have not heard this term. So that's just my one sample. Yeah, this is a sketchy analysis, but it's interesting,
Starting point is 00:09:20 and he has a counter to the whole thing, is that if you're Told anything on the Democrat side just say it's weird That was his argument is if they want to try to use this to capture the youth of America women But this is all about women because the women and it's noticeable in the black community where the black women are all in on Kamala, and the black men are, although the black men are still gonna be all in on Kamala, a greater percentage will go for Trump.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I think personally the over and under is gonna be 20%, at least from what I can call from the conversations. But this is, but so just use the word weird a lot when you're referring to anything the Democrats are doing and he thinks that'll probably help. But it is strange that this is going on and it's so obvious and I think they've overdone it and Rachel took it to the limit.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Well, I have two clips that connect into this. I agree with you. I think people, they're underestimating the intelligence of people. Certainly the people who call into C-SPAN and the hosts of C-SPAN, which was rather interesting. Let me see. Jim in Hudson, Florida, Republican. He's actually calling in about, initially about the National Black Journalists Association,
Starting point is 00:10:50 but then he gets to the weird thing. Good morning. Hi Jim. How are you doing today? The reason, you saw in that interview, is the real reason that Donald Trump should be re-elected as president. The way he stood up to that interviewer is the way he has stood up to Putin, Xi and the Phil fella from North Korea. That's why he had such success in his four years that he was president. He stood up to those people and he told them, this is my side of the story. Here's a headline in Wall Street Journal this morning. At a Vance rally, fans brush off his controversies. What do you think of the pick by the former president of JD Vance? Well I think JD Vance is a very good
Starting point is 00:11:34 man. He's the same religion I am. He's raised some children. He's done the right thing. It came from a poor background and there's always something that these people are going to hatch on to onto that they have to find something of something about the weird or something that that you know if everybody's weird a little bit but that that's what the phrases now they must send this out because everybody that would have to have to get some of the republicans they all sort of out like these weird where do they get that with it is that a memo that goes out to everyone?
Starting point is 00:12:05 That's what makes you question about your news media when every one of them that's against the Republicans, they all start out with he's weird. You know, and the ABC, he's weird. NBC, he's weird. Where does this come from? Even the speaker Schumer, he's weird. You know, if people, anyone with any intelligence at all, can figure out that—and both sides do this.
Starting point is 00:12:30 That's what's right. What is so bad about it? What are they going to pick on when Harris picks her? Yeah, Jimmy, you're referring to talking points, talking points that go out by the party officials, that go out and, you know, those that receive the talking points. Why do they have their own talking points? Why do they have their own talking point? Why do they have to be sending a little memo to start out with that he's weird?
Starting point is 00:12:50 All right. So everyone seems to this the C-SPAN host like well that's the talking points they send them out you know it's like and as proven in my favorite hate listen. Everybody loves the favorite hate listen. Pivot, Pivot Podcast with Kara Swisher. Yep. And Scott Galloway and listen to what he says. 200 million bucks in a week. The enthusiasm is granted some of it away.
Starting point is 00:13:19 You know, they're just getting their attack engine going. She'll come under a bunch of warranted and scrutiny that every candidate gets. But the honeymoon period is like, They're just getting their attack engine going. She'll come under a bunch of warranted scrutiny that every candidate gets, but the honeymoon period is like, this is a month long honeymoon right now. Yeah, it's going on. It is everything, every- A lot of sex happening.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Oh my God. And I mean, Kara, this whatever you call it, white dude thing. And not weird sex like JD Vance, but go ahead, dolphins and couches. With furniture. I'm not sure I even understand what he's being accused of there. But anyways, the, I was asked to come on CNN tonight and talk about how weird
Starting point is 00:13:51 the campaign is, um, or the Trump campaign is and talk about the white dude thing. So they called him up and said, Hey, can you, uh, come on, uh, CNN tonight and talk about the weird thing? You know, it's our new talking point. Certainly you've heard about it. Come on. This is so obvious. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:11 That's a good catch. Yeah. Well, it's my hate list. And so that's why I caught it. Now, I'm going to move past weird, if you don't mind, because we had another fabulous thing happen. And it's amazing. Kind of predicted by Mo that they're going to go all in
Starting point is 00:14:27 race, all in race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, race, racist, racist, racist, black, black, white, white, white, white, racist, racist. And as witnessed by the racial Zoom calls, which I don't even know if, you know, I don't know if you can have more than a thousand people on a Zoom call, maybe Zoom has, they certainly don't have that on their website. If you want- This is a good point. If you want-
Starting point is 00:14:53 I've been wondering about this myself. Well, here's the, their basic free or with credit card is a hundred participants, pro is a hundred participants. I don't know what it seems like the same. Business 300, enterprise 500, then optional add-ons 500 and an optional 1000. So I guess you can have 1500, but maybe, maybe they can do more.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But what they seem to be doing is doing streaming live and then having a number of invited people on the zoom call as witnessed by the white dudes for Harris, which I think they missed an enormous branding opportunity here White dudes for Harris. They should have called it crackers for Kamala, but that's just me next time called the curry devour I consulting group and but even Galloway and I have some respect, I have a little bit of respect for him, he catches this, he says, you know, this is kind of weird that we're doing all this racial stuff and we're doing all identity politics, but of
Starting point is 00:15:56 course, you know, as long as it keeps Trump out, it's good. They're doing groups of zoom calls, which I think is fascinating. I think it's really fascinating. Really fascinating. Fascinating. I'm of two minds about that. I like that we're saying, don't be ridiculous. There's a lot of white men who you immediately create a stereotype of that want a great economy, that want progressive policies, that want bodily autonomy for women that want a wonderful world world for their
Starting point is 00:16:26 daughters that believe in liberal politics. So I like that that that's a chance for us to say, don't be stupid. There's a bunch of us that are hand in hand with these ideals and are fighting for them. But at the same time, it feels as if the world is becoming so much more, it's just becoming one giant identity politics exercise. You know, just everybody identifies now based on their sexual orientation, their background, their gender, and I think some of it is unhealthy. I think some of this is fun though. They're doing it a fun way.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Oh, I agree. I like this. The Asian ladies, the black ladies, I think it's kind of fun, like teens and then they're all going to get together. In this way it feels like- Racism is fun. I agree with you. That it's too much identification. It's fun. But I think this is more in fun like teens and then they're all going to get together in this way. It feels like I think this is more in joy than it is Yeah, this is tongue-in-cheek and funny it's funny it's great listen to who was on this white dudes for harris call
Starting point is 00:17:25 By the way, the the here's the because I I got the email for the sign up form. By the way, she did say for all practical purposes that racism is fun. It is. I agree. Racism is fun. It's fun for kids of all ages. Here's the email. Together we aren't going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology
Starting point is 00:17:46 because we understand that MAGA with MAGA everyone loses. We know that as white dudes, we have a strong and positive role to play in America's shared future and it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and reminding the folks who have co-opted American symbols what America actually means. We're excited to join together with you in this fight. So here's who was on. The exit was amazing. The first guy who came on was a black guy. He was like, you know, some activist for Kamala.
Starting point is 00:18:20 So they have all the white dudes on. Let's bring in a black guy just to make sure we're not too racist. Well, he's identifying as white for the day. For the day, yes. Jeff Bridges, Mayor Pete, Governor Roy Cooper, let me see, Governor Pritzker, Governor Waltz, Senator Gary Peters, Adam Schiff, Steny Hoyer, Mark Hamill, Scott Galloway, he did go on, Eric Swalwell, Lance Bass of the Backstreet Boys,
Starting point is 00:18:53 Tim Daly, David Hogg, who doesn't remember him. You might as well have just said a bunch of rich white dudes for Kamala. And so I don't think that you could see 200,000 or however many they claimed. You couldn't see that many on the Zoom call. It was streamed. They streamed it live so you could sit around and they could all pontificate. I would say Jeff Bridges was the most disappointed. Or Clive. Yeah. Jeff Bridges was disappointing. He's a dude. He's like, oh, I'm a dude, so of course I'm for President Harris.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I want Harris for president. Anyway, fine. By the way, just as an aside, since you mentioned him, Buttigieg is making the strongest push to be vice president of all these guys. Yeah. And when I wrote that essay, which is in devorek.substack.com, the last essay I wrote
Starting point is 00:19:46 predicting it was going to be Shapiro or Cooper, Cooper dropped out. I kind of just glossed, I mentioned Buttigieg, but I just glossed it over thinking that nobody in their right mind would pick him. But I think they might make that mistake of picking him. If they pick him. If? Now here's the interesting thing. First of all, there's no question about what a man or a woman is. I didn't see any drag queens on the call, which was disappointing. Or I don't think there were any drag queens on the cat lady call.
Starting point is 00:20:27 So all of a sudden we know exactly what a man and a woman is. That seems to be clear. And I'm sorry Scott Galloway, but Jews are not white. I've heard this consistently. It's something that angers Horowitz by the way. Yes, yes. He's, I'm not white. It really pisses him off. I'm a Jew. Well, it's all right because then he can join Scott Galloway's call, Angers Horowitz, by the way, is a DHS play show. He really pisses him off.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I'm a Jew. Well, it's all right, because then he can join Scott Galloway's call, which is Jews for Harris. I'm getting involved in another one, Jews for Harris. I'm worried that a lot of Jews, including myself, are so rattled by October 7th, and we're concerned about some of what we perceive as anti-Israel comments from the far left, that it's pivoted a lot of people to the right and a lot of Jews have become one issue voters.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And what I'm going to try and do, and I want to do something similar to what these guys have done, I've been inspired. I've been inspired. I've been inspired. I think if you really put on your critical thinking hat, I think the best thing we could hope for in terms of not only the end to the war, but a sustainable peace would be to have the continuation of the Biden-Harris administration. I don't think they get nearly as much credit as they should for their steadfast support
Starting point is 00:21:34 of Israel and immediately deploying aircraft carrier forces over there. And also post, when the war does come to an end, making it make your argument. Make your argument. Well, I'm making it now. Yeah, okay. And then post the end of the war, you're going to have to have a fairly complex multilateral peace force there. And who is most likely to build an enduring peace? You'll probably have to have back channel negotiations with Iran. Is that Anthony Blinken or someone who's likely to be a future resident of a federal or state prison somewhere, which is a one in three chance of any cabinet appointee of the Trump administration.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Okay. Oh, what was that all about? And by the way, I don't know if you misunderstood me or not, but Horowitz is irked by the fact that he thinks that some Jews are considered non-white. Yes. Yeah. No, I understood you perfectly. Understood you perfectly.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Let's just go back to Vance for a second. Galloway seems to, I don't know what he, I have no idea. No, no, he went- That clip was confusing to me. He went, no, because he's a Jew. Yeah, he's a Jew, but what did he say? He says that we need Harris to be president
Starting point is 00:22:42 because they'll protect Israel. What? I know? Is he nuts? Well, he's saying the reason why is because you want Anthony Blinken there. That's really what he's saying. Anthony Blinken, the guy who organized the 51 phony baloney intelligence agents to say that the Hunter Biden laptop was fake. Are you kidding me? I'm really divided or torn about Scott Galloway
Starting point is 00:23:09 because he identifies, hey, this is really identity politics. This is no good. But he can't help himself because he has to suck up to Cara to keep his job, I guess. Not that he needs it. Guy's got houses in London and Aspen and he's done quite well for himself. He also gave away $50,000 on the call.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He's like, I'm a white man. I'm Scott Galloway, and I'm going to match $50,000. If Mark Hamill will say, I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to save you, which of course Mark Hamill did. The whole thing was so pathetic. Now earlier they talked about this weird sex. Yes, JD Vance, weird sex. Now they're literally taking memes from the internet and propagating them. Or it's been about JD Vance. There's another thing about him.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I don't know how to say this. Him having sex with a sofa. That's usually one for Anthony, he usually has to do the PG puns. That's romantic interactions with seat cushions of a couch. We need to point out, totally unfounded. It was a joke that started on the internet, but it took on a life of its own and then you had people like the Associated Press doing fact checks on JD Vance did not have sex with the couch.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Yeah, but that's again to our point about this stuff can end up not being true, but People like the Associated Press doing fact checks on JD Vance did not have sex with the couch Yeah, and but that's again to our point about you know This stuff can end up not being true But it kind of like people decide that it's what they want to believe and it plays into existing ideas They have about someone and so even though it's not true. It's kind of people going well Like I believed it could be true. So therefore is it true even though you know again totally unfounded You know, so when when there's obviously, a parody about Kamala Harris, this was the BBC, by the way, then it's like, whoa, this is dangerous. People might believe this stuff, but when it's about a Republican, then it's like,
Starting point is 00:24:55 oh, well, it's funny. It's hilarious. It's so great. Yes, we love it. Yeah. So, of course, this is all about discrediting JD Vance. And obviously, we have to bring his whiteness into it and probably a little religious overtones. Let's go. And in Louisiana, the Daily Advertiser reports that the United States birth rate is down as fewer adults want to have kids. According to a 2023 Pew Research Survey, 47% of childless adults under 50 say they aren't planning on having any children. Many younger adults say they want to focus on other things instead and raise concerns about the state of the world and the costs associated with raising a child.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Some older adults say they don't have kids due to medical reasons or because they haven't found the right partner. And Molly, the stats are there. More and more Americans choosing not to have kids, which again, emphasizes why JD Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies. By the way, so they're kind of conflating two things, and this was 11 years ago, but he said,
Starting point is 00:25:58 yes, our country is run by childless cat ladies who are unhappy and they wanna make us unhappy. The other thing he did, the way I understood it, I may be wrong, is he said, hey, we should stimulate people having children and we should give them tax breaks for that. Which the M5M has now turned around into, they want to punish people who don't have children. Which is an amazing, amazing way of presenting it. It's good, I'll give them that. Could be so politically damaging. Why doesn't the mainstream media use that same logic with this money giveaway for student loans?
Starting point is 00:26:34 No, please. It's choosing not to have kids, which again emphasizes why JD Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies, could be so politically damaging. So what's interesting is this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right? That there need to be more... Playbook. It's a playbook. White children. That associates with Putin.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Yeah, well yeah. And there is a playbook. We're getting to it. Natalism that comes... Did he say natalism? Natalism. I'm looking it up. That's like being pro-child, I guess?
Starting point is 00:27:02 Natalism. That's a good one. I'm looking it up. Natalism. Natalism, that's a good one. I'm looking it up. Natalism. Natalism. I've never heard of it. It's a policy paradigm or personal value that promotes the reproduction of human life as an important objective of humanity.
Starting point is 00:27:16 We can't have that. But the term itself has a negative intonation. Natalism. Natalism, like nativism. Yeah, that's a good one. So that's why they use it. Yes, natalism. Nice. What's interesting is this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook,
Starting point is 00:27:33 right? That there need to be more white children. There it is. That's the idea. Oh, there it is. Nobody said that. Yes, but this is the point. It's all about white Christian nationalism.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Don't you understand? That there need to be more white children? Right. That's the idea that there's you know, where did this clip come from? What outlet MSNBC morning Joe? Oh Oh Yeah. Oh now now it's understood. Of course, but this is another one of those messages This is this is the whole racism thing These guys only want more white children that there there need to be more white children, right? That's the idea that there's you know, this is about great replacement theory racism, right? This is what this is So saying we should encourage people to have children which we clearly need if you want your social security to be paid by anybody who's working, but that's really great replacement
Starting point is 00:28:30 theory because they want white children. Okay. Replacement theory, racism, right? This is what this is. Racism, racism, right. So they misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing. So I would say, yeah, it's certainly true.
Starting point is 00:28:46 These people are disgusting. It's fantastic. This is going in the archives. In 100 years, someone will recover. This is MSNBC. Yes. Yeah, OK, well, let me just interrupt the clip for a minute and mention MSNBC, Rachel Maddow.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Do you know how much money she makes a year? $8 million. $30 million. She makes 24 annually. It's reported by multiple sources. I'm gonna read this. She recently signed a five-year deal with Rachel worth more than $120 million. This is working one day a week or $500,000 a show. We had two executive producers for this show, which is 300 bucks each for us. So that we're making big dough. Part A. Hey, but you know what? Some sources suggest the annual income could be as high as 29 or 30 million,
Starting point is 00:29:36 as reported by the MSNRA report called Rachel Maddow. And this is on the shoulders of Brian L. Roberts, the CEO of Comcast, who doesn't even make that much. His salary, at least as of 2016 and maybe higher now, was $28.6 million, making less than Rachel. So they're paying her to just be a hateful person on the show and you notice this when she does her sketches. I've got a couple of clips I'll do later. But when she looks down at the end of her bit, when she throws the commercial,
Starting point is 00:30:14 she looks down with the most guilt ridden look I've ever seen on anybody. She knows that she's cheating the world. Well she knows, we're all vapor here John, when it's time for us to go, she's going to be looking into a fiery pit of hell. And you and me, we're going to be on the cloud laughing. Making the same amount. Don't misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing. So I would say, yeah, there's certainly it's certainly true and attacking people for not having
Starting point is 00:30:49 children is really cruel, right? Because some people can have children. People, you know, want to have children and you know, you know, miss the window. So I do think it's really just a very terrible way to go after people. Oh, it's just terrible. It's a terrible way to go after people. Well, no, the terrible way to go after people is what's happening now because, and it was a big mistake. I think, I believe the guy who was in charge of Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation,
Starting point is 00:31:21 he resigned. He left. He should have. Yes. He's like, oh, that was a mistake to put that paper out. Now I have read, I have read the paper. And now some- All 900 pages really.
Starting point is 00:31:33 More, yeah, 938 I think. Now I'm gonna be the first to say, I skimmed through some of the obvious chat GPT generated stuff because they could have done this in 90 pages. But it was literally like, here's 90 pages, put it into chat GPT. So for sure I know none of these people have read it at all. Certainly not Joy Reid from MSNBC.
Starting point is 00:31:59 You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you. Get out. You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you're not gonna have to vote.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Do you believe if Donald Trump were elected next year that he would try to stay in office beyond a second term? He would never leave office? There's no question. You think he would try to stay in power forever? Absolutely. Mistakes could not be higher. Trump said if he wins, you won't have to vote anymore. Tonight we are laying out the dangers of Project 2025. The manifesto that would give him that authoritarian power, limit your rights, and force you and your family to change the way you live your life.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And we begin this special episode of The Readout tonight with a dire warning for our democracy. Over the next hour, I will lay out the greatest threat to the American democratic experiment in modern times. And it's called Project 2025. So you identified this obvious, at best, misreading of what Trump said to a total distortion of the truth. And I even heard you talk about on DH Unplugged. Because Horowitz was bought into it too. Now do you think he was really bought into it? He was baffled by it.
Starting point is 00:33:28 He didn't buy into it, but he was baffled by it. And once I explained it to him, it was fine with it. I have a clip about this too when you're done, but I just want to say, yeah, yeah, I think he bought, he kind of bought into it. So it works. So this, so we need to do an intervention on him. Well, he's fine with it. So we need to do an intervention on him. Well, he's fine with it. I mean, it was just the one, this is just this one thing.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Okay. And this again is on the shoulder of Brian Roberts because this is one of his people. She's getting good money too. She's not getting the 30 million that Rachel's getting, but she's getting good money to do this. You're so stuck on that. There's no reason that these people are making this much money.
Starting point is 00:34:06 They're not bringing in that much. Well, no, I'm going to disagree with you because it's money from cable news is not from the advertisements, although that's not bad. It's from the cable fees. So they have wide coverage. So they're bringing in big bank. They got a budget. It's just being, you know, the minute people stop cutting the cable, that's when it hurts everybody. But they get, you know, one, two bucks per subscriber. So they have a fixed amount they get every single month. So bringing in more money on advertising doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. And by the way, Elon Musk bought Twitter. What, for the revenue, for the profit? No.
Starting point is 00:34:43 For power. It's for power. So that Comcast guy is a Comcast. Yeah, Comcast. Yeah, it's for power. So this for this why all that's HL hunt had 600 radio stations for power. Doesn't matter if you make money or not. Jeff Bezos walls, Washington Post, power. John C. DeVorek, Adam Curry, no agenda show, power. Power. Power. All right, so then and I'm only slightly insulted that
Starting point is 00:35:15 you insinuate that I did not read all of project 2025 because I do that kind of stuff. I've read- I know you do, but it's boring. It's too long. It's dumb. It is. It is boring and dumb. And the way Trump is distancing himself from it is disingenuous. Because there's, I mean, it's very much a Trump-like agenda. There's some things, I mean, obviously was written before Roe v. Wade was, or the Dodd amendment was overturned, known as Roe v. Wade. Wade was, the Dodd amendment was overturned, known as Roe v Wade. And he's been very clear, but of course he's lying that he wants three exceptions and send it back to the states.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So in this is just, oh, no, they want a national abortion ban. It's all lies and disingenuous. But we bring on the former executive director of Planned Parenthood, Kelly Robinson, to talk about what she thinks is the worst, the worst thing in the end. Joy Reid had the printout of all 900 pages on her desk, you know, this is it, this is it, this is what's going to kill democracy. What do you find the most alarming and the most frightening, the thing that you want people to know about top of mind?
Starting point is 00:36:26 How they are using the federal government to institutionalize bigotry, structurally, right? The idea that he would come into office and fire nearly a million federal workers, career workers, right? That's scary. No, that's not scary. That's dynamite. Everybody wants that.
Starting point is 00:36:42 A million federal workers, career workers, right? Right. That's scary. And then they put foot soldiers that would just carry out his will. The idea that they want to turn- Wait a minute. Isn't that what's supposed to happen? Isn't the executive branch supposed to do what the laws as written by Congress and the direction of the president?
Starting point is 00:37:02 Isn't that the point? Now we call them foot soldiers? Yeah, foot soldiers. They just don't like these foot soldiers. That's scary. And then input foot soldiers that would just carry out his will. The idea that they want to turn
Starting point is 00:37:12 the Health and Human Services Agency into the Department of Life and charge it with promoting heterosexuality as a quote unquote ideal family unit, and then attach federal benefits to those criteria. That's scary. And I think... That's scary. It's scary that you attach federal benefits. By the way, we have federal benefits. We have child tax breaks and the people who would benefit the most are black Americans. You racist lady, please. That's scary. And I think ultimately, we're not just talking about policies or impacting
Starting point is 00:37:45 specific communities, though that's laid out quite clearly in project 2025. But what we're talking about is the undermining of democracy. He's even saying out loud, if you vote in this election for him, for Donald Trump, that could be the last election you have to vote for. As Dr. Maya Angelou said, when someone shows you who they are, believe that. The first time. People always leave out the first time. Yes. Yes. Yes, Queen. All right. So now to bring in the most scary, the scariest thing, scary, so scary is the Robert Jones. He's the director of the Public Religion Research Institute. He should know, he should know what's going on. Obviously. This is a very godly man
Starting point is 00:38:29 There's actually two sentences out of all this 900 pages that I think were the most chilling to me to read I'm gonna read them here An individual must be free to live as his creator ordained in order to flourish our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought. Now, who gets to define that ought? The very next sentence gives us a clue. The pursuit of the good life is found primarily in family, marriage, children, Thanksgiving dinners, and the like. So that other 900 pages, that's in the foreword, this document, the other 900 pages really are about that 1950s Norman Rockwell vision of a white Christian America, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:11 with white Christian men and their heterosexual marriages kind of reigning up here and everybody else knowing their place. So if I can distill what he just said, he said what they want is white Christian men at the top telling everybody what to do. But the problem is I have the 900 pages in front of me and he didn't read the next paragraph. So I'll just read that last bit again. Our Constitution grants each of us liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought. This pursuit of the good life is found primarily in family, marriage, children, thanksgiving dinners and the like." He omitted the next paragraph. Many find happiness through their work. Think of dedicated teachers or health care professionals
Starting point is 00:39:55 you know, entrepreneurs or plumbers throwing themselves into their business, anyone who sees a job well done as a personal reward. Religious devotion and spirituality are the greatest sources of happiness around the world. Still others find themselves happiest in their local voluntary communities of friends, their neighbors, their civic or charitable work. The American Republic was founded on principles prioritizing and maximizing individuals' rights to live their best life or to enjoy what the framers called the blessing of liberty. It's this radical equality, liberty for all, not just of rights but of authority, that the rich and powerful have hated about democracy in America since 1776. They resent Americans' audacity in
Starting point is 00:40:39 insisting that we don't need them to tell us how to live. It is this inalienable right of self-direction of each person's opportunity to direct himself or herself and his or her community to the good that is what the ruling class disdains." And he just showed it to us right there. Exactly. And by omitting what they actually wrote. And this jamoag didn't even get past the introduction. What a joker. Anyway, we'll finish it up with the dangers for women. And for women, what are the most alarming things? Because obviously a national ban on abortion would be a part of it, but there's a lot more to it. I mean, the Comstock
Starting point is 00:41:16 Act looms pretty large. You could use it in more ways than just to stop abortion. I mean, this is going to fundamentally reshape American life for women in this country. I mean, you can see all of that laid out in Project 2025. But I do have to say this. It clearly calls for a national ban on abortion. They intend to make that the reality. Also, in the ways that they're defining heterosexuality in the ideal family unit, they are actually trying to put provisions into place to control us and our decisions. I mean, this trad wife, kind of housewife kind of housewife trying to promote, that's actually a system
Starting point is 00:41:47 of power and control over women's lives. So let's be clear, everything that we enjoy today is our normal way of being, right? From being able to go to work, to raise your kids in the way that you choose, to have a partner that you decide and pick, all of that they're saying, they want the government to control it. So let's be clear, this is a dangerous, dangerous document that's laying out exactly
Starting point is 00:42:08 what they plan to do. Oh Lordy. What a lie. It's, it's total. I can, do you mind if I just, um, go into one more quick set here, because it, it stays on the, um, uh, it stays on the Trump thing? If as long—yeah, because I do have a Trump—I have a clip to play about that so I can do that one more time.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah, okay. Yeah, you can come in right after that. Warning. Amy Goodman clip-in. Oh, no! You didn't say that! I tricked you! I tricked you!
Starting point is 00:42:40 Listen to what Amy Goodman did. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made headlines this week after suggesting that this year's election could be the last U.S. election if he wins in November. Can you believe that Amy Goodman did this? Amy Goodman. Democracy Now! I do believe she could. You do believe. You do believe she could.
Starting point is 00:43:05 You do believe. … a selection if he wins in November. Trump made the comment Friday in Florida at Turning Point Action's Believers— Made the point! Any collusion? … get out and vote, just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what?
Starting point is 00:43:24 It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. For more on who's backing Trump's efforts, we look at a secret organization of wealthy Christians who are working to— Secret? Oh, no. Oh, no. It's a secret organization.
Starting point is 00:43:37 —purge more than a million voters from the rolls in battleground states— Dead voters. —and mobilize Republican voters to back Trump. It's called Ziklag. The news outlet's ProPublica and Documented obtained thousands of Ziklag's internal files and found the group has divided its 2024 activities into three different operations—Steeple Chase, which uses churches to get out the vote, and Watchtower, which aims to rally voters around
Starting point is 00:44:05 opposition to transgender rights. This is amazing. So, ProPublica did a whole expose on Ziklag. Wait, they have a website. You can download the stuff from the website. So the scariest part is Checkmate. Oh, no. So, we have Watchtower. We have—I forget the second one. We have—and part is Checkmate. Oh, no. So, we have Watchtower.
Starting point is 00:44:26 We have—I forget the second one. We have—and we've got Checkmate. They're going to purge the voter rolls, and they have a scary, scary video about it. The third operation, called Checkmate, focused on funding so-called election integrity groups as laid out in this Ziklag member strategy video. Voter irregularities are rampant across all 50 states, but especially pronounced in the battleground states. Public polling confirms Americans have lost confidence
Starting point is 00:44:53 in electoral integrity. With the federal election already in full swing, more must be done to ensure fair elections in the most important republic in the world. That's the purpose behind Operation Checkmate and its practical approaches to both get out the vote and clean electoral rolls through our coalition partners. Through these efforts, we have the opportunity to play a significant role in the upcoming election.
Starting point is 00:45:17 — ProPublica reports Ziklag's mission is to take dominion over seven spheres of public life, which it calls mountains, business, science and technology, family, arts and media, church, education and government. Oh, no, the secret Christians are coming to get you. They're going to take dominion over all of these mountains. Let's bring in the pro-publica guy to explain Ziklag. Ziklag is a secretive network of ultra wealthy Christians, conservative Christians. What?
Starting point is 00:45:50 It's secret but it's got this big website you say you could download the whole thing. How secret is that? It's secretive, they're sneaky. Of ultra wealthy Christians, conservative Christians, who have this two part goal, two part vision for this country. One is to get heavily involved in the 2024 elections
Starting point is 00:46:10 in the ways that you just described. Mobilizing pastors. Oh no. Knocking people off the voting rolls. No, knocking them. Demonizing trans people. Demonizing. To motivate conservative voters.
Starting point is 00:46:20 But then looking toward the 20 and 30 year horizon, Ziklag's goal is nothing less than Moving the country toward a state of Christian nationalism. Yeah having biblical worldviews quote-unquote biblical truth shaping influencing every part of American culture those seven mountains that you describe So this really is as one expert we quoted in the story told us, a vision for Christian supremacy. Christian supremacy is a new word. Christian Christianity uber alas. Yes, we will get you. We will annihilate you. And then Amy asked the most important question, what exactly is Ziklag?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Ziklag, the name refers to a biblical reference about David taking refuge during his struggle with King Saul. The analogy here, of course, is that the Christians in this group apparently feel that they are under siege and that this group is their refuge, but then the place from which they plan their campaign, their assault to take back American culture. He missed a great opportunity because the story of Ziklag is that David and his small band of troops cut off the hem of their garments and made it look like there were many, many more of these secret Christians.
Starting point is 00:47:36 And that was the trick. I forgot to put that in. These people are nuts. And I'm so disappointed in Amy Goodman. I have no love for Amy Goodman, but to introduce this secretive group with a website, with videos you can download, as part of Trump's master plan to never have Christians or never have anyone vote again, is just insane.
Starting point is 00:48:03 And unfortunately, people like Horowitz, although just initially without some guidance from his mentor, fall for it. Here's my last version of the same thing. This is the never vote again. This is again the insincere, guilt-ridden Rachel Maddow doing the bidding of Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast. And here's her version of that same Trump, we're never going to vote again bit. Donald Trump told an audience on Friday night that if they vote for him this November, if he's voted back into office this November, they will never have to vote again.
Starting point is 00:48:49 He told an audience on Friday to, quote, get out and vote just this time. He said after this time, quote, you won't have to do it anymore. You won't have to vote anymore. He said, quote, in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good and you're not don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, and you're not going to have to vote. Now, this is not the first time Trump has told a campaign audience that they will never
Starting point is 00:49:12 have to vote again once they vote him back in this time. And that is as alarming as it sounds for all the reasons that you immediately think it is, right? I mean, he's positing this like this is a happy thing. Oh, joy. Never having the burden of voting again. The point of democracy is that we vote all the time and we like it. That's how we decide what happens in our country.
Starting point is 00:49:33 He's promising his followers that he'll end all of that. And it just, it's exactly what you think it is. Could you please just- He's pro- right at the end there. He's promising his followers. He'll end all that When does he ever say that to anybody that he's going to end it? He doesn't say that what he says is you don't have to worry about it anymore because because he knows that the Christian Evangelicals don't like voting or they don't seem to get out much and they don't have to go back again
Starting point is 00:50:03 He's never says he's going to end anything. That is a blatant lie by her, a misinterpretation of what actually happened, and she does it on purpose. There's no, she's doing it on purpose. She is not like a sincere, well, you know, I didn't understand. I'm sincere though. No, she's not sincere. She is a liar. It's deplorable. It's disgusting how blatant it is. I think it's funny. I mean, I still go back to that color. Not all of the American public is stupid. Most of the American public is stupid, it turns out. Well, we'll see. And we're gonna end up with President Harris. I am going, when you're done I want to play a clip about Harris that I think needs to be played. I got
Starting point is 00:50:58 one more Trump bash. Okay, go with another Trump bash. Trump bash, yeah. This is Erin Burnett back on the scene, who's on the Ozempic, back to her fighting weight of the old CNBC days. Oh, she's looking for work. She's prime time CNN. She's fine. She's in the Mado league, no doubt. No, she's not 30 million. She's probably not doing too bad.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Anyway who shows up with some racist stuff because who else who better would know that former president Donald Trump is racist than his nephew Fred? The breaking news Donald Trump's nephew going all in for Kamala Harris. Fred Trump telling us he'll join Harris and her team on a call this week and that he's ready to campaign for her, saying that she is the only person who can move the country forward. Fred Trump is publicly for the first time. What? Only person can move the country forward? Let's bring Mary Trump on next. This guy's great. Saying that she is the only person who can move the country forward. Fred Trump is publicly for the first, breaking ranks with his family,
Starting point is 00:52:07 writing about his relationship with Donald Trump and his new book, All in the Family, and Fred Trump is out front with me now. Oh, he's got a book. Okay. There you go, the old book. The old book, the old book scam. Alright, so he's going to explain to us how he knows that Donald J. Trump is a racist. So I want to talk to you about something you write in the book.
Starting point is 00:52:28 There's a moment you're young, someone vandalizes Donald Trump's car. Okay, so that's the setup. And then about this moment, Fred, you say N words. This is you. I recall him saying disgustedly, look what the N words did. And then you add quote, Donald hadn't seen whoever did this. So it's twofold. It's one that he didn't see who did it.
Starting point is 00:52:50 He makes an assumption about who it is, what color they are, and then refers to them as the N word. His campaign says this is a fabricated story. I just want to give you a chance to respond and tell me how this story has lived in your life. It's the absolute truth. And I remembered as if it were yesterday, he had a black roof. He had a roll of electrical tape taping up the, it was probably the slashes about this, this long, two of them.
Starting point is 00:53:18 And, uh, he was, he was pest. And, uh, again, he just assumed it was black people who had done that. And he called him the N-word. Okay, well, he remembers this as if it was yesterday. But he's a good guy, this Fred Trump, because he can connect all kinds of things in Trump's racist life. Around the same time. Wait, wait, before you... I'm looking at this report on this.
Starting point is 00:53:46 This was in the 1970s? Yes, he remembers it as if it was yesterday. I can't remember anything from the 1970s. Okay. Alrighty then. And I have a good memory, believe me. Around the same time, I had a bike stolen. I lived in Jamaica, Queens, and three young black kids about my age took my bike.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I wasn't gonna put up a fight. And the police called my mom and said, we found the bike and the person, one of the people who had done it. And she called Donald, because my father unfortunately was not around. We went to the police station and Donald was adamant about the kid being thrown in jail, which I just couldn't take. I mean he was a kid my age. I didn't want to be
Starting point is 00:54:34 responsible for perhaps... You were between? I was 10. I was about 10. I didn't want to be responsible for this kid's life being changed. Flash forward 17 years or so, Central Park Five, same thing. He has no evidence that those five young men were guilty of what they were charged with, yet he puts out a full page ad asking for their execution. Would you use the word racist to describe him? I think he just believes in things that racist people say.
Starting point is 00:55:03 What? What is that? He's not a racist, he just believes in things that racist people say. What? What is that? He's not a racist. He just believes in certain things that racist people say. Yeah. I mean, they're pulling out all the stops on this one. So in 1970, Fred Trump III was eight. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:22 And he remembers this clearly as though, you know, it was yesterday. Yes. At eight, at the age of eight. Yes. And he remembers this clearly as though, you know, it was yesterday. Yes. At eight, at the age of eight. Yes. Okay. Yes. It's fantastic. It's great. I mean, they are just, all right, I got to play this. He's the brother of Mary, of course. Yeah, of course. Let me, let me just stick with Erin, because she had one more guest on. Do you have any of the National Association of Black Journalists clips? Because I got a few. I do have one. All right. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I have a couple. Play what you got, and I gotta find it. I don't know where it is. Okay. Well, here's the... Let me see. This is... Here it is.
Starting point is 00:56:02 I got it. Is it a backgrounder? Let me see. This is... Oh, here it is. I got it. Is it a backgrounder? It's a NPR. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I don't have NPR. I don't have NPR. It's an NPR short. It's actually a short clip. It's an NPR clip where they can't keep themselves from editorializing in the news analysis. It's just like, you can play this if you want to. I don't know if it's a good background or not. It does kind of, it's kind of a background.
Starting point is 00:56:34 This is re-ump at NABJ. Former President Donald Trump made some inflammatory comments about Vice President Kamala Harris's racial background today. In a Q&A at the Black Journalist Conference, the GOP nominee questioned Harris's black identity. More from NPR's Stephen Fowler. At the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, Trump said many negative things about many people.
Starting point is 00:56:58 But the room gasped when Trump implied Harris changed how she identifies herself in racial terms for political advantage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? Harris is both. Her father's black and her mother's South Asian. Trump has a history of calling out his political rivals, including President Obama and more
Starting point is 00:57:23 recently former governor Nikki Haley, and questioning whether they are quote, American. Stephen Fowler, NPR News. What? Yeah, it's okay. A question whether they're American? Where does he throw that in? No one's ever questioned whether they're American. What is that bit at the end there?
Starting point is 00:57:41 The NPR should be ashamed of itself for letting that piece go through. He never said anything about them being American. So I actually, now there was, I saw this whole thing because I happened to be in the studio and like, oh, let me just watch this as it was coming in live. Yeah, I watched it too. It was pretty funny. A couple of backgrounders. That woman from ABC was just mean. Well, but then he had Harris on the other side. She seems actually like him. And she was the journalist all the way on the right hand side of the stage. Yeah, she's the Fox girl.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Oh, she's Fox? Oh, okay. I thought she was ABC. No, ABC is the one in the blue at the opening. Now, just in general, I will say that, and now this is the National Association of Black Journalists, there was, I don't know about audible gas, but there was more clapping than I expected for many of the things he said. Yeah, in fact, people that had attended it felt that way too. And you have to understand, and I understand it because of my work with Mo, that the black community, as is known, of so-called black people understand exactly what Trump is saying. And they know this because they went through this with Obama. They knew Obama wasn't
Starting point is 00:58:54 African-American black, Aidos, American descendant of slavery. No. But they let him slide because of Michelle who is black amongst other things. And he slips it in. Another pun. There it is. He slips it in. Another pun. And so the real disappointment came. It was like, oh, well, the first term, you know, but, you know, he's got Michelle, so
Starting point is 00:59:23 it'll work now. And then instead of getting anything for black America, they got transgender bathrooms and you can go listen to MoFax with Adam Curry, it's all in there. So when Trump goes to a room full of black journalists and says, she's, she's not black. And she used to say that she was black. In fact, here's a 2020. Yes. I was going to mention, oh, you're going to have this 2020. The 2020 CNN profile. CNN did a whole five, 10 minute bit on her being Indian. My mother who raised me and my sister was a proud woman.
Starting point is 01:00:02 She was a brown woman. She was a woman with a heavy accent. And her mother, Shamla Gopalan, was also the biggest influence in Kamala Harris's life. In 1958, a precocious 19-year-old Indian, Gopalan traveled thousands of miles from her home and family to pursue a doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology in America. She soon became an active civil rights crusader while studying at UC Berkeley. In her book, Harris says, there is no title or honor on earth I'll treasure more than to say I am Shyamala Gopalan Harris' daughter. Harris' visits to India with her mother kept her connected to her roots.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Her grandfather, who had strong views on humanitarian issues, worked closely with officials to reallocate refugees. Harris's maternal uncle Gopalan Balachandran, who lives in Delhi, tells us how the Senator turns to her Amma, which means Mother in Tamil, for guidance even after her death. I don't have to tell her, make your mother proud. She says, what are you telling me? Everything that I do, I ask myself,
Starting point is 01:01:09 would Amma approve of this? Kamla in Hindi means lotus flower and is an important symbol in Indian culture, rooted deep in the bottom of the river, very similar to Harris's Indian identity, which she wears on her sleeve. So a couple things about that that I liked. One is her grandfather talks about Amma, but these days Kamala Harris talks about Auntie, you know, which is, you know, that's what you say
Starting point is 01:01:38 if you're a black American. Oh, Auntie, no, but it's Amma. That's what she used to say. And also, you know, what's been going around is Kamala means garbage, gobble, you know, look at it, put it in Google Translate. But in Hindi, it means blossoming flower, lotus flower, I guess. I guess they didn't have Google Translate. Yeah, it does. Yeah, I looked up the words. It probably does.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Now, you know, it does, and it means horrible horrible in Finnish and it means horrible in Greek. So, by the way, as an aside, this whole racist, no, no, forget about that. So, what I'd like to do, because I have multiple versions of Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists, perhaps it's better instead of playing snippets, I would just like to play the full first question, so-called question and his answer. So people can really, if not on a podcast, where else? So people can get the actual context of what happened. Knowing that he was on time, they had an hour, he had a set schedule to leave. Apparently they couldn't get their equipment to work, so they started 30 minutes late or 35 minutes late, which is rude and it's also lame.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Especially for the National Association of Black Journalists, you think that they have it all together. I think it's worth it just to listen to how he was greeted. He walks in, sits down, and everything else you hear on the M5M is all caught up. It's, you know, it's, it's just, it's not honest. And this is the honest audio of what happened. Mr. President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals
Starting point is 01:03:34 from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswoman women of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists calling them a loser saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have
Starting point is 01:04:10 used language like that? So I mean to be honest, that's a pretty aggressive opening and what I find insulting to my intelligence is he says that stuff to all journalists and people. But she just says, well, you said to black people, oh, she's highlighting the black people. This is so, this is racist. It's just that these people are racist. The whole thing is unnecessary. We don't, America is not racist like this. I will, I have to mention something I'm pretty sure is not in the section you're playing. Is later he says,
Starting point is 01:04:51 he's talking about immigration being a big threat and it's taking away black jobs. Black jobs, yeah. And she says, and she does this, pulls this stuff, what's a black job? Because this is the thing, he says black jobs, everybody's, it's just a job that blacks have. It's like white jobs, white jobs, black jobs doesn't make any difference. They've taken away jobs. It just so happens they're taking away jobs from blacks, they're taking away from whites, they're taking away from Mexicans, they're taking away from everybody, there are Mexican Americans.
Starting point is 01:05:21 It's just another one of these misinterpretations of his simplistic way of presenting some of these facts. Okay. All right. So here's his answer. Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner. First question. You don't even say, hello, how are you?
Starting point is 01:05:43 Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network. I mean they're laughing. He's already got the crowd laughing. And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including Opportunity Zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much and you know when I say this, historically black colleges and universities were out of money, they were stone cold broke and I saved them and I gave them long term financing and
Starting point is 01:06:33 nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do something like that and let me go a step further. I was invited here and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me under false pretense. And then you said you can't do it with Zoom. Well, you know, where's Zoom? She's going to do it with Zoom and she's not coming. And then you were half an hour late, just so we understand. I have too much respect for you to be late.
Starting point is 01:07:07 They couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong. I think it's a very nasty question. I have answered the question. I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln. That's my answer. Better than President Johnson who signed the Voting Rights Act. For you to start off a question and answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late, because you couldn't get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner, I think it's a disgrace.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Let me just ask a follow-up, sir, and then we'll move on to other questions here. I mean, the whole thing was interesting. I thought it was, he said I'm just gonna tell you the way it is and anyone who watches that with I mean well no I mean we I guess we have a great portion of the population who's just all in on racism good well we get the government we deserve beautiful bunch of racism racist racist racist they're all racist it It's nuts. And if you listen to- When she went on to ABC News, Nightly News to present, I don't have the clip, but when she presented to David Muir, she was just this, had that same grimace on her face. And she was really,
Starting point is 01:08:20 she just hates Trump. It's like, it was just so obvious. It was unbelievable. So, Erin Burnett had her on as well. Cause you know, of course, you're a journalist. You have to be part of the story now. Isn't there some rule against that? Like you never wanna be part of the story. Yeah, you're not supposed to do that. Yeah, well, she's doing it.
Starting point is 01:08:38 She's going the rounds. But I didn't clip her. I clipped a democratic strategist, who's I guess part of the movers and the shakers in the Democrat party, Aisha Mills, and she summed it up. And Aisha Mills is with me now. All right, Aisha, so, you know, you heard Kadia, I mean, he was supposed to come for an hour, but, you know, he's stopped for the 35 minutes.
Starting point is 01:08:56 I just, I just can't emphasize enough that he chose. What? Don't you just love that? What? Yeah. Oh yeah. He was supposed to be different. Right off the bat, they lie? You know, you had... So Aaron Burnett lied right there on the spot. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 01:09:10 That's what you do. That's what you do. That's why we're here. And Aisha Mills is with me now. All right, Aisha. So, you know, you heard Kadia. I mean, he was supposed to come for an hour, but, you know, he sat for the 35 minutes. I just can't emphasize enough that he chose to be there. He wanted to be there and he took his time to go there, right? All of those things are true. So what do you think is the outcome of this? Everywhere he goes, there he is. Okay, Donald.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Wow. Now, John, we have to remember this one. Everywhere he goes, there he is. So what do you think? She may be the lady writing Kamala's scripts. Oh my God. Everywhere he goes, there he is. So, what do you... She may be the lady writing Kamala's scripts. Oh my god. Everywhere he goes, there he is. This is the outcome of this.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Everywhere he goes, there he is. Okay, Donald Trump is going to Donald Trump. Everywhere he goes, he's going to be Donald Trump. He has always been just disrespectful and had such disdain for the media, first of all, for black people in general and certainly for black women who are members of the media. You can just roll the tapes back and see how he's treated everybody pretty much who was black in his in his press room but specifically someone who was a friend of
Starting point is 01:10:21 CNN, April Ryan, the nasty things that he has come out and said about her So I wasn't surprised at all that Donald Trump sat there and was so Frustrated and just evil to the people who were questioning him and expecting him to answer and account for himself Because that is something that he doesn't do well He has such vitriol and a horrible recoiling at anyone who ever questions his judgment, who asked him to explain himself, who asked him to back up with facts, his positions, his attitudes, his beliefs. And certainly when it's coming from black women,
Starting point is 01:10:55 he doesn't have any patience or tolerance for it. And that's what we saw on display. So here, I'm gonna sue these last two. This is Nora O'Donnell, this is CBS. This is about him questioning Kamala Harris's code switch, which she did. Everyone sees it. Her code switch into a black woman. You just heard it. Former President Trump says Vice President Kamala Harris happened to turn black a few years ago, questioning her racial identity as he takes questions from the National
Starting point is 01:11:24 Association of Black Journalists. Good evening. I'm Nora O'Donnell, and thank you for being with us. We start tonight with a fact check. The vice president's heritage is both Indian and Jamaican, but that didn't stop the Republican presidential nominee from accusing her of downplaying parts of her identity during the combative interview in front of a jeering crowd. Remember, Donald Trump rose to political
Starting point is 01:11:45 prominence in part by falsely claiming that former President Barack Obama was not born in America. CBS and Nicole Killian was in the room in Chicago. So, of course, we all know that the only time you're black is when you vote for Democrat, because Joe Biden said it. He said it's Charlemagne the God. But here's the full report. There was no applause as former president Trump walked out on stage. Instead, it was a mix of boos and some outbursts. One question in, the former president quickly panned one of the moderators who
Starting point is 01:12:24 asked about some of his past comments. Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? Such a racist question. Denigrating people of color and black journalists. I think it's disgraceful. Yeah, no, I don't even think, did they even say that in the interview? I don't remember that, but it's just chopping it up. Yeah, well, that's what you do.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Such a racist question. Denigrating people of color and black journalists. I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I think it's a very rude introduction. Trump was then asked about presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
Starting point is 01:13:06 Well, I can say no, I think it's maybe a little bit different. She was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? She was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went, she became a black person. Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is a black person? I think somebody should look into that too when you ask a continue in a very hostile,
Starting point is 01:13:35 nasty tone. Trump's remarks sparked backlash from Harris, who is the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, went to an historically black college and is a member of a black sorority. Her campaign called it the same hostility he has shown throughout his life. The White House called it insulting. What he just said, what you just read out to me is repulsive. By the way, even though I went to college for three months, I actually pledged with the capas. I carried a brick around. I guess I can say I'm black now. You might as well. Now, a couple of things. One, where is Kamala Harris's dad? No, he's in Jamaica. We got to keep him out of the picture because of the slave ownership and all that of his family. We got to keep that quiet. He's also rebuked her. Yes, he has, in a book.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Well, he's rebuked, yes, and he rebuked her more recently when she made some joke about smoking dope and claimed it had to do with their Jamaican heritage. He thought that that was an insult, a stereotype. Yes. He went on and on about it. He has not seen her or talked to her. The family broke up when she was three, so she was raised by a single mom. She was raised in Canada.
Starting point is 01:14:53 This is a hoax. This entire presidential campaign by Kamala Harris is basically a hoax on the American public. Well, remember. They're sucking it up because the media has switched from, oh, she's no good to us. She's the American public. Well, remember, they're sucking it up because the media has switched from, oh, she's no good to us. She's the best ever. And of course, this offers opportunities for potential vice presidential candidates to step up to the plate. Here's Mark Kelly. Joining me now is the Democratic Senator from Arizona and potential vice presidential pick for
Starting point is 01:15:23 Vice President Harris, Mark Kelly. It's great to have you here, Senator. I know you have had a very busy day, but I just, I do want to know your reaction when you heard what Donald Trump said on stage in Chicago today, questioning Vice President Harris's heritage. Well, Caitlin, my first reaction was, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:44 this is the reaction of a desperate and scared old man. It's very obvious to me watching him and just what I've seen over the last week while she's been, you know, across the country just kicking his butt that he's afraid. He's probably afraid to debate her. He's certainly afraid to lose an election to her in November. And he's afraid about his own future. So I'm not surprised to see it.
Starting point is 01:16:11 And I understand what he's up against. I mean, he's up against an experienced prosecutor, somebody who served as a DA and an attorney general in the Senate, and now the vice president very successfully. You put Kamala Harris's record up to Donald Trump and there's no comparison. And the contrast is just, can't be more significant. Now, I think if you're, now she's going to do a speech in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, supposedly she'll have her vice presidential pick there on stage. I think Mark Kelly is still in the running, although I still like Moe's idea of Wes Moore to make it an all-black ticket just to go all in on the racism. I'm going to play a short clip. I'm pretty sure it's neither going to be Shapiro or Whitmer. And the reason I say that is because they were both on the campaign trail together.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro were in Ambler yesterday rallying a crowd of more than a thousand people at a Harris for president event at Wissahagan high school. Shapiro telling the crowd they've seen how close these elections can be with 55,000 votes between Pennsylvania and Michigan back in 2016 New polling from Fox News shows Trump and Harris essentially tied among registered voters in Pennsylvania The voting process to officially name Harris the nominee is expected to start this week as electronic ballots will be sent to delegates Harris's search for vice president is ongoing the list of potential candidates getting more narrow with Shapiro in Arizona
Starting point is 01:17:43 Senator Mark Kelly said to be among the front runners. We now know North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has opted not to be a candidate for Harris's running mate. Shapiro has vowed to do whatever he can to help get Harris elected. Kamala Harris knows real freedom means worshiping where you won, living how you won, and experiencing the bountiful of freedom all across this nation and rural, urban and suburban communities. That is real freedom and that is what we are fighting for.
Starting point is 01:18:14 I don't think he's going to be it. Well, he should be the front runner. I have some different thoughts on this, but before we continue, I'd like to play the judge Joe Brown clip to get another perspective after we heard. Who is judge Joe Brown? Brown is a famous, he used to be a prosecutor, he used to be in LA. He is a TV judge, but he's a he's a was an actual judge and He's a personality. He's an old guy. He's like 77 and he's been saying he's been Blasted for this particular this and some other things He's been saying he's been going around podcasts because he really does not like Kamala Harris and he's run into her. Hmm
Starting point is 01:19:03 And a lot of people don't like her. I mean, even interns are coming out and doing a interview saying that, Oh, we couldn't look at her when she came in in the morning and we had to say good morning general. Wow. That doesn't actually,
Starting point is 01:19:19 doesn't surprise me. Doesn't surprise me. I have some thoughts on the vice presidency app, but let's play. And I would not safe for work clip I think maybe that you should cover your children's ears At least for the beginning and let's listen to this was the podcast that he's well I tell you which one it was courses on a podcast. That's where all the good stuff is. That's where the meat and potatoes are, baby
Starting point is 01:19:41 This was on I could get I had it here open. This was on, I could get, I had it here opened. It was one of the, it was the Art of Dialogue podcast. And you got Blastin' Vibe Magazine for this. And this is only part of what he said. I'd like to get the whole podcast and get some more clips from it, but here we go. But I gotta ask you about Kamala Harris. How you feel about her? She's a piece of shit. But here we go. But I got to ask you about Kamala Harris. How you feel about her?
Starting point is 01:20:10 She's a piece of shit. I was in California. She lacked professional competence and she worked on it by hiking up her hemline when she needed influence rather than researching. She's always tried to do the casting couch to get where she wants. Now the problem is, is that'll get somebody to a certain level quickly, but you can't get past that level if you don't have competence and talent. So my thing about it is, is if I'm crude about it, in this city years ago,
Starting point is 01:20:40 I used to represent a whole bunch of pimps and hoes, and I know a hole when I see one And I say this I don't care women you do what you want to do if you want to have recreational sex, but when you do the casting couch or anything else for Professional purposes to get paid or advance you a hoe and she's old hoe and the problem is is what is she supposed to do? Somebody one of her sycophant slaves comes up my unwraps her in a carpet naked at Putin's feet And he says oh, yeah, I'm Julius Caesar. He said no, ho I got better stuff here already Plus, I don't want you anyway you old woman get on up, you know Zin pings he's supposed to be impressed? She's doing word salad. Well,
Starting point is 01:21:29 we are here today. Yeah, we need to have that whole podcast. Yeah, there's a lot of people who feel that way about Vice President Harris. A few more things just before we take a break. more things just before we take a break. Something that, you know, Trump did say in that National Association of Black Journalists, he said, our whole campaign was geared towards Biden, so now we have to switch. I'm surprised by that. I'm surprised by him saying it. I'm surprised that they didn't see that coming.
Starting point is 01:22:01 And it seems like they were taken a little bit of back that they had to pivot. And they had a whole strategy lined up against poor old Joe to, you know, to hammer him down. Did you hear that part where he said that? Oh, yeah, I heard that. And he did. And I guess he was sincere. I take him out of his word. Yeah. Yeah. So now they are doing what they can. And this is a, I guess it's either a super PAC or someone did a, a hit piece ad on Kamala. I don't think it's, I don't know if it airs on television because it's more than a minute. But here it is.
Starting point is 01:22:44 And it's, it's well done, but I don't know if it's going to, if it's going than a minute. But here it is. And it's well done, but I don't know if it's going to come to the level of the race card. open borders and illegal immigration. Two, rampant crime in unsafe cities. Three, mass addiction and fentanyl. Four, election insecurity and interference. Five, the educational indoctrination of children. Six, the asymmetrical weaponization of justice. Seven, the destruction of private property rights.
Starting point is 01:23:22 Eight, inflation and debt. Nine, the global depopulation agenda. 10, record low fertility and plummeting birth rates. 11, unaccountable federal bureaucracies. 12, toxic food supply. 13, vaccine and pandemic disinformation. 14, the trans contagion and sterilization of children. 15, over prescription of pharmaceuticals. 16, destruction of the nuclear family and
Starting point is 01:23:52 parental rights. 17, DEI and the new racism. 18, moral and societal decay. 19, the financing of endless foreign wars. 20, the sprawling surveillance state. 21, the centralization and consolidation of government power. 22, the destruction of trust in institutions. 23, the censorship industrial complex. 24, state media propaganda. 25, the smearing of those who challenge it. And they had good images to go with it.
Starting point is 01:24:30 They had good images to go with it. So, I think everyone. I don't know that kind of thing doesn't work. No, it's a vibe thing is trying to get Atlanta at the college there and she had the auditorium full. I saw this. I would say most of the people there came because Megan Thee Stallion not just showed up but she performed.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Megan Thee Stallion is big news. I caught a TikTokker who had something to say about this. Which is, I'll call her Boots on the Ground. Okay, just in case you did not know it, on yesterday Kamala Harris had a rally in Atlanta and it gave you like, Oh, Atlanta's hype for her. Like people are so excited for her. I know you felt it. I know you saw it. She even brought out wretched Megan Nestle in shaking her butt twerking for a political rally talking about hotties for hairs that did not turn your stomach like that is pandering.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Like if you've ever heard it. But but that's not the catch them. Do not let that rally looking for a fool fool you because Fulton County has been doing this for years before the rallies they get busloads and they go pick up the homeless people they offer them food drink and a little change to come to the rally. So the rallies will look full. Now you got to realize she just dealt with the rally. And I want to say with Pennsylvania where it was less than 60 people, it was quite embarrassing for her. And so that's not going to go down in this blackity black city. Okay, it's just not going to go down. They are absolutely going to make sure
Starting point is 01:26:25 that thing looks packed out. I believe that. Yeah. And she says that the whole clip is longer. She says, oh, that's what they always do in Atlanta. They always round up the homeless people, just like Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are now moving illegals out of downtown Chicago to the south side. So you won't see it during the convention. That makes sense. Yeah, we did that in San Francisco when the-
Starting point is 01:26:47 When she came, yes. Yes, when she came to the- So someone, we still have the Biden issue. We have daddy long legs walking around. Well, before you can go into that, since you brought up this ad with the 25 things, I believe that the best ad you can play to slam Kamala, Kamala, Kamala, whatever, however you pronounce it. You racist. You're gonna have to look
Starting point is 01:27:15 this up, you have to put the engine in, because it's not on this clip list, but it's the Tulsi 2020 debate R.E. Harris clip. I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting black and brown people all across this country today. Now, Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president,
Starting point is 01:27:41 but I'm deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Thank you, Congresswoman. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, we'll see. The debate should be interesting. We'll see. You'll never hear that clip. No.
Starting point is 01:28:24 The Republicans are no more competent than the Democrats. No, they're not. What's happening here is it's obvious we just have to make it look like she's viable so that when they cheat, then if they can cheat better than the Republicans are going to cheat, I'm sorry, the Christian nationalists with their secret Ziklag group. Only sinners go to church. I also want to get in my little comment about the vice president pick. It's important because it leads into this. because it leads into this. Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:05 It's possible because I, you, the more you read about this judge, Joe Brown and his experiences and what he thinks of, of Kamala. And other people that I've heard, he may get elevated. The other people I've heard about Kamala being basically lazy. That's the way she'd pull up her skirt. Uh-oh, racist, racist. She's basically lazy as a, just as a, because she was, if you look at Kamala when she was
Starting point is 01:29:30 in college or earlier, she was beautiful. When she's 60 now, but when she was 20, different, different look. And there is a tendency for pretty girls to not, you know, they're just coast. And it's possible that this is already too much work for her. Going and giving these speeches. Interesting take, I like it, I like it. She's got, this is getting too hard. She can't use her looks anymore
Starting point is 01:29:59 because she's, you know, she's had a facelift. We noticed that a couple years ago. She's trying to make herself look, so she's not 60 looking, but she's 60. She might sabotage her own campaign, and that would be putting in the black guy that Moe thinks could be the selection. That would be a sabotage pick.
Starting point is 01:30:19 She'd be sabotaging herself, or putting in Pete Buttigieg, which would be sabotaging herself or putting in Pete Buttigieg, which would be sabotaging herself. She might sabotage the campaign herself because she really doesn't want this job. Well, that's, I like, that's very interesting. And it kind of flows into what do we do with Joe? Uh, daddy long legs walking around is undeniable. There is a guy who from time to time is posing as Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:30:47 He is noticeably taller. We don't know why. It's so obvious that either it's meant to come out or as we, you know, they were in a real bind and the normal guy's on vacation, they couldn't get him back in time. The CrowdStrike flights made a problem. He missed his flight, missed his connection. Yeah, he couldn't come in. Crowd strikes is the problem. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:11 Some of you even said, hey, maybe it's Obama with the mask. I'm like, no, I don't think so. It's funny. It's funny. But Daddy Long Legs is walking around. What are we gonna do with Joe? Now, if legs is walking around, what are we going to do with Joe? Now, if Kamala is going to sabotage, let's say maybe someone wants to help her and sabotage her, the worst thing that could happen, the worst thing would be that President Biden would die or have a stroke or something because then, and it would have to happen pretty quick, I'm sure President Biden is going to show up at the convention. It could happen there because then she would have to assume the office of the president. That would probably limit some of her campaigning capabilities, but no matter what, she will
Starting point is 01:31:59 be blamed for everything, particularly the ramp up in the Middle East right now, which I don't think is a coincidence that Netanyahu was just with Trump and Trump's like, you know, why don't you ramp it up a bit so I can look like a hero for the October surprise when I negotiate a peace deal. I'm just shooting from the hip here. But someone recommended Tina and I watch a movie from 1993. I have a short clip of the trailer and I will explain how this could possibly play out as an example of life imitating art.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Hail to the chief, he's the one we all say hail to. Dave Kovac was an ordinary guy. Mr. Kovac, your government needs your help. We just happen to look like the president. You're a very handsome man. Thank you, Mr. President. Just get rid of the grin. You look like a schmuck. Something has happened to the president. What about the vice president? The vice president is mentally unbalanced. Is this legal? Oh, yeah. Probably. We think so. Yes. Suddenly Dave has a great job.
Starting point is 01:33:05 I can't tell you the whole story. It's kind of a national emergency kind of thing, but you got to help me cut the... So that's the movie Dave starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. And even though it's not at all the same scenario, what happens, the plot of this is the actual president has a stroke and he's a vegetable, he's not going to recover. Evil forces who are actually running things within the White House, kind of like the chief of staff guy, he doesn't want to concede or cede his power within the whole system and in the world. So they bring in Kevin Kline, who is a look-alike and he then plays the president
Starting point is 01:33:45 he goes on to do good things, but the trick they play is once the the the president is a key Dave at this case, but the original president is accused of campaign finance corruption and all kinds of shenanigans going on. He does a state of the union and he then fakes a stroke. They throw him in the ambulance, they do a switcheroo, and then they take out the almost dead president and then he dies four months later. This could be an awesome opportunity
Starting point is 01:34:20 to bring out daddy long legs, fake a stroke, and then bring out the body and then make Kamala president. Because they got to get rid of Joe somehow. They have to deal with the fact that he's incapacitated or dead or whatever. Well, I want to see what happens on the first day of the convention, which is coming up pretty soon, because that's when he's supposed to give his speech. First day? Yep, first day.
Starting point is 01:34:49 Well, wouldn't it be nuts if that happened? Yeah, it would. It would be nuts. Hey, I don't see it as moving as possible. After COVID, I'll believe anything and everything can happen in this world. 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 crackers for camelus. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeBorell. Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
Starting point is 01:35:14 In the morning, the ships of the sea have boots on the ground. The feet and the ears are in the water. The dames of the nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hello there, trolls! Oh, no, they're here... Oh, that's not bad. We're a buck thirty-six in and we've got two thousand thirty-eight trolls in the troll room. That's only, that's almost equal to the last Thursday show that we did. So we're on par.
Starting point is 01:35:38 Good. Good to have you trolls here. They're checking us out at trollroom.io where you can log in, listen to the live stream. This is a 24-7 operation. There's tons of live shows going on. If not, it's a repeat of other podcasts, all part of No Agenda Nation. The Troll Room has been around for 15 years.
Starting point is 01:35:57 Thank you Void Zero. Of course, you may be listening on a modern podcast app. We recommend that you do that for a number of reasons. One, you are protecting the freedom of speech of all podcasters because if you use a legacy app, you just might find that your favorite podcast has been to platform from Apple or from Spotify. They do about three a day.
Starting point is 01:36:18 So, eventually it's gonna be one that you listen to. And for other reasons, these modern podcast apps notify you when we go live, you get the bat signal, you can listen, you that you listen to. And for other reasons, these modern podcast apps notify you when we go live, you get the bat signal, you can listen, you can't listen to a live show in Apple podcasts. You can't listen to a live show on Spotify. What?
Starting point is 01:36:33 No, you can't. No, you can't. No, this is a podcasting 2.0 feature. And by the way, you and I have been doing live to tape with a live studio audience for, well, as long as I can remember. We've always done it live. When have we started the stream?
Starting point is 01:36:47 That was probably about 15 years ago. I just find it hard to believe that you can't list to a live podcast on Apple. How hard can it be? Because they're Apple. Oh, I'm sorry, Void Zero, Mark just says, the troll room has been there for 17 years. He says, actually, even longer, we started it when you did one of your last daily source
Starting point is 01:37:07 codes. That's how long it's been around. No, they smoke their own dope over there. And they're good people that work there, but it's a cost center for them. They don't make any money on Apple podcasts. They just want- No, it's just a loss leader. Be a loss leader, call it what you want.
Starting point is 01:37:25 You know, they still, they still dominate. But if you look, if you look at this show, we have about 45% of people listening on modern podcast app. So booyah. Also when we publish, this is the same for every single podcast. When a new publish, when a new episode is published, you get notified within 90 seconds. No waiting an hour or two hours or sometimes eight hours for some reason. What?
Starting point is 01:37:51 Yes. It's another podcasting 2.0 invention. Sir Brian of London actually started off. It's called Podping. How hard can it be? And Apple's welcome to participate, by the way. They're more than welcome. All these protocols are open and freely available. They could do it at any time. So it doesn't cost them anything to upgrade to a system that works better? In
Starting point is 01:38:13 fact, it will cost them much less because they now have to poll every single one of the millions of podcasts they have in their index to see if you know, is there a new update? Is there a new update? They can save money. A lot of money. And it's free. Free for anybody to use. Yes.
Starting point is 01:38:33 It makes no sense. What you're saying makes no sense. There must be something else going on. Well, let me just explain how it works. So the way it used to work, and it was okay when there were a couple thousand podcasts, you know, you just, your podcast app, and now it's Apple does it through their server, through their index, goes to every single one of the podcast feeds and says, do you have a new episode? Do you have a new episode? And I do it every 15 minutes. Some do it more frequently.
Starting point is 01:39:01 And if it's no, okay, no, no. And so in some cases, they're actually bringing in the entire feed can be a megabyte, can be a couple megabytes worth of data. So it's incredible waste of resources. With Podping, when you upload to your host like Buzzsprout or Blueberry or RSS.com, I mean, all of these guys, they then hit the Podping system, which you can just sit there and say, oh, oh, there's a new episode from NoAgenda. And then you just go and you update your database. What if they miss the ping?
Starting point is 01:39:33 Oh, it's retro, you can always go back and say, give me the last 15 minutes of pings or the last three days of pings. So there's no missing it. The pings are, it's, believe it or not, it's a blockchain. The pings from day one are there. Yeah. Bill F. Blockchain. Holy moly. I know. So this is the modern way of doing it. This is why we are winning in the media war.
Starting point is 01:40:01 Yeah. We're winning everything but donations. So we'd like to thank people who support us with value for value. This is, you know, there's no $30 million for us, but of course we don't have to lie for it. We can go to bed and think, I'm a pauper, but I'm happy about it. That's the way I see it.
Starting point is 01:40:17 You may have different viewpoint. But we put value into the show. I think we do pretty good. We do it consistently. I've been doing it for all, it'll be 17 years in October. It's pretty well actually. We do pretty well. Yeah, but I want to speak gooder English than you.
Starting point is 01:40:36 And so we don't ask for anything in return other than if you got any kind of value out of the show, anything at all, even if you just laughed. In fact, primarily if you laugh, hit us up with some value back. You can do it with time, talent or treasure. And one of the obvious ways that people provide us with time and talent is our artists. They are busy during every single live show trying to come up with great ideas for artwork. Because we believe that that is, well, we know that that is an excellent way to market the show because someone sees it coming through in their timeline. It's a laugh like, oh, what are these guys doing?
Starting point is 01:41:14 It's a reminder that we're funny, that we're a comedy show, but we also deconstruct media. And we want to thank the artist from episode 1681. We titled it Daddy Long Legs. And the exception to the rule, but we had a piece of art that pertained to the title. And this was from Matthew Dropko, 1972. And he had Kamala, Joe 1 and Joe 2 right there with the height differences in a lineup. It was an AI piece. We thought it was the best. And
Starting point is 01:41:47 there was a lot of, before you say we thought it was the best, there was a lot of really good and usable pieces. Lots. So right off the bat, we're going to say we're not going to put the Olympic rings up there because that is, I mean, they're, they're taking down videos. They're causing all kinds of problems for people putting up anything Olympics. Yep. So we can't do it.
Starting point is 01:42:09 The Olympic peninsula in Washington, when they had the winter Olympics, they were, they were sued. Olympia Washington was sued by these guys. These guys are nuts. So you can't use the rings. You will get sued and we don't need that kind of aggravation. So that's that's out Now looking at the rice president of the United States out of context of which it was said Was a little even too racist for us
Starting point is 01:42:37 So that's why we didn't use any of the rice and because no one you have to hear the show to understand what it's about There were a number of tall Biden gags. Let me see, Darren O'Neill had Biden on stilts. We had, what is this, Dame Kenny Benn had like a mugshot wall with the two Bidens. Scaramanga had a good one too. What did he have? He had the really super tall long legged guy.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Yeah, he did have, yeah. He had that one. There was a lot of weird fingers that didn't work at all. There was Trump, Arcta Trump. Arcta Trump, which was good, but again, out of context, you just don't get it.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Yeah, it was not going to be easy. That was Darren Elwood. That was a good AI prompt job. I don't know how he did that one. It's unbelievable. I bet it was. He's got it down. I told him he should go into business.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Yes, AI images, which, well, you know, there's a new report out that shows that it's not that it's not going to work, that you can do images. I mean, it's a very detailed report, but in general, the conclusion is AI is not going to get any better. It's only going to get worse. It's bigger models, more models on top of each other. It's just, it's not working. All we're going to have is some interesting image generators
Starting point is 01:44:16 and some chat bots. That's all that's being, we got a chat bot. Here's another chat bot. I think that's where it's limited. In what? That's where it's gonna end, right there. Image generators that are based on old stuff because you can't put those images back into the system
Starting point is 01:44:31 because they grow hairs. Yes, they do. Grow hairs is the right term, too. And you can't, the same with the information. It has to all be frozen in time and then you have to update with modern news and all it is It's just a problem. It's just chat bots. That's it We got a chat and they stink and the thing that you said about that 950 page report
Starting point is 01:44:53 It's just a bunch of you know, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly just a bunch of yak yak yak yak yak So, thank you very much, Matthew Dropko, 1972. Good job. Thank you to all of the artists, all of them, including Matthew Dropko, our Dutch masters. I did use Sir Schoeg's, Rice President of the United States.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Yes. For the newsletter. Well, and the newsletter is within context of people who listen to the show. So I think that makes total sense. By the way, what I did not see, maybe I missed it. Did you put in the link to the PDF for the city's wealth book? So I got called out. I forgot to do that. And I'm surprised that when I sent the thing in for approval that it didn't get spotted. Oh, I'm sorry. Do you know that when you,
Starting point is 01:45:39 when you send me the thing for approval, all those images and all that other stuff you put in there is never in it. No, I know. Okay, so how could I have known? Well, I would have been, I was going to do it as a section. It's going in the next newsletter, the next, because I got, we got it down, we got two different sources for this called the cities of wealth. I had the title five
Starting point is 01:46:05 I guess my memory going back 45 years was it's actually the city's wealth the city's wealth yes and it has to do with the Berkeley in particular and it's fascinating you looked at I'm sure that I put it in these show notes under Kamala so you can find it under Kamala. Yes. By the way, I forgot to mention, happy birthday MTV. MTV started on this day, August 1st, 1981. Were you there that day?
Starting point is 01:46:36 No. It's so funny. You know, the first VJ was supposed to be Mark Goodman. But even on the first day, and this is so typical for MTV, they Bill Toddson. No, they screwed up the tapes and Alan Hunter did the first, because they pre-recorded everything. So typical for MTV to screw up the tapes on their first transmission. But there it is. That's a little bit of history nobody knows. Yeah, there you go. But there it is. That's a little bit of history nobody knows.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Yeah, there you go. There you go. Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers. The way you can support us with your treasure is by sending us any kind, any amount that represents the value you get from the show. We appreciate it all from $1 to $10,000. It doesn't matter whatever value means to you. And of course we can't, we can't determine what that is, only you can determine that.
Starting point is 01:47:28 We do like to thank our executive and associate executive producers upfront, just like Hollywood does. You get a real credit, which you can use anywhere. It is an official production credit. You can even put it on imdb.com. If you don't have one, you can open a new account with that. $200 and above associate executive producer credit, and we read your note. $300 and, associate executive producer credit, and we read your note, $300 and above, an executive producer credit, and we read your note,
Starting point is 01:47:47 and we kick it off with Mr. Black, who is in the Rijswijk, the Netherlands, and he sends us a 333 donation plus fees, which is wow. So it's 350.58, PayPal does 20 bucks? Yeah, that's why I feel checks are better, because they owe definitely better. 15 cents as opposed to 20 bucks? Yeah, that's why if checks are better because they owe it definitely better. 15 cents as opposed to 20 bucks. He says, ITM, John and Adam, no ITM to you brother. This is a 333 donation for the Noagenda show since you both putting great value, effort
Starting point is 01:48:19 and entertainment into the show. Thank you. Birthday call out for my daughter Eva who turns 13 on August 2nd and he says, gefelisteerd Moppy, you are the light of my life together with your little brother. Love always and health karma for all in need. Keep on keeping on Mr. Black. You've got karma. Karma. Now we have a Gene Morphis in Bellingham, Massachusetts, 33333. And he sent not a note.
Starting point is 01:48:57 You should look at this, look at this, but a memo. An official memo. A memo. Oh, he did send a memo. Yes, I see. Yeah, and it's pretty much structured like a memo should be. I had, yeah, just a little aside. When I was working for the Air Pollution District. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's some, if you're gonna talk about your past. JCD Storytime. JCD Storytime everybody. This is a weird one.
Starting point is 01:49:29 At least it is to anyone with the right mind. Looking back on it, I thought it was fantastic. When you're working for the government and the administrative state or even when you're not, you really try to take as many seminars as you can because somebody's paying for them and you get to take the day off. It's free. It's free. It's free to you and you get to take the day off. Uh, if you want, you get paid for the, you get, it's just a money. It's a way to go. So I took a seminar on memo writing.
Starting point is 01:50:01 I've had for this story. And they did, Memo writing. I've heard this story. And it was a whole day of how to write a memo properly. By the way, this memo I'd say is 80% close to being proper. And I can write, and I've written memos for people who are short on how to write them. There's a formula that's just dynamite if you use it right. And I just thought it was one of the most valuable things I've ever learned. And I would say this to anybody out there,
Starting point is 01:50:29 take as many of these little courses and classes, these one day seminars and whatever you can, for whatever it's about, because you never know, I thought the memo writing thing was just gonna be like a joke. And in fact, I found it very useful. And I used it in fact, when I was at Ziff
Starting point is 01:50:45 Davis, I used it to write memos to the bosses that were just like, you know, super professional looking memos that had a lot of impact. They have impact anyway. So we have a memo here and I'll read what it says. Well, there's a, hold on, there's a CC to producers, HR, legal and sales. Everyone's on this memo. Yeah, it's pretty funny. And it's regarding the fall season. Yes, it says it's to John and Adam from, and he's got his little initials there, which
Starting point is 01:51:13 isn't really something that a lot of memo writers do. Gene Morphous, producer. And then he says the comments at the bottom, there's the, you don't need that word comments there, but okay. After consultation with the appropriate producers, we have green-lighted your fall season. I'm sure you are as excited about this news as we are. Please provide episode outlines and storyboards at your earliest opportunity. Copy Sales Legal and HR for their review and approval. We hope that this year the no agenda show will be a leading contender for the People's Choice Podcast Awards. Good luck.
Starting point is 01:51:52 Once that is done, marketing needs to have a meeting to present some merchandising concepts to you. I'll reach out shortly to schedule. Oh, and as you would say, there's some V for V enclosed. Now he forgot to copy No Agenda Shop on this, which is a misser. And you must know that all podcast awards have an entrance fee requirement, which of course we refuse to do. Cause that's just a scam. All award shows you have to pay to be nominated. So no. 33333 from Gene. That's very funny, Gene. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:52:31 The Highland Craigs are in Colorado Springs, Colorado. $240. Wait, wait, we only have two executive producers for this show? Yes, sir. That's it. That's it.

If they move, if you move to Washington or California, Oregon, they are they all Californians. When you move to, uh, a lot of States in the, in the West coast, they tell you not to wreck them. It's Texas does that.

Starting point is 01:56:09 Nina Brink. She's not political. She's, I want to be careful. She's very litigious, but she has been implicated in many issues in publicly listed companies. Okay. Not sure if that's just a common name over there, but I took note because it is a Dutch national BMX rider named Jamie O'Brink. Don't know if he's any relation, but Jamie O'Brink has replaced the Dutch reigning gold medalist, Niek Kieman, on this year's Olympic BMX.
Starting point is 01:56:45 Wait a minute, the Olympics have a BMX competition? Oh yeah. Yeah. I think they have to bike through the sand. And then puke. Kimon was forced to drop out due to, you guessed it, myocarditis. Oh boy.

She says she's a ham. All right And she doesn't know she's I thought she wanted to f karma. Well, she wanted no karma or jingle So we will we'll honor that And 73 from keto 5 alpha Charlie Charlie beaconing every 15 minutes on VAR AC. And then we have what? I'm saying that's good to know.
Starting point is 02:02:11 Yeah. Well, so people can pick up my beacon. And then what? Beacon back. This is a cool system. You can actually, if you see me, if you see my beacon, you can send me a message and it automatically receives. And then, you know, and then next time I check out my ham rig,
Starting point is 02:02:25 there'll be a message for you and I can respond. You don't have to be both beyond at the same time. It's kind of like instant messaging. Wow. Only it takes hours. Ronald Sedario, Parts Unknown. And he says, you both are like a fine wine that gets better with age. Thank you for your courage. Well thank you. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 02:02:53 All right there we go. People are going crazy. Linda Lepatkin's getting all the free publicity she needs. She's in Lakewood Colorado. She gives us another 200 bucks today. And she says you both make you both like a fine want, no, this can't be. No, no, no, no, no, this is jobs karma is all she wants. She doesn't think we're like a fine wine.

Starting point is 02:03:50 Sorry it's been a while. He says, Don Cool, Viscount of New Hampshire, Windham, New Hampshire. P.S. Keep up the good work. Well, thank you. We shall do so. And last we got Circumcision and Blaine Washington. Where is he? got him on here? That Wait a minute he starts by saying breaking breaking the vault bistro He's got a long noises breaking the vault of bistro and wine bar announces its second to
Starting point is 02:04:24 2024 meetup Sunday, August 4th. That's this Sunday. Per our customary protocol, the Vault will offer the delightful farm to table fare, craft cocktails and curated wine list. And he goes on and on. Well, he does say, incidentally, here's the other 50% of the Jew money I owed you from the last time. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:44 Yeah. I think he, yeah, he's falling behind. He is. I can only get 50% Jew money because I'm only 50% Jew. Oh, oh, that's not good. Oh, okay, well that explains it. That being said, sources tell me the dudes named Benjamin in the Slot Office, Base Laser Office of Targeting, in mock deference to the new DEI policies enacted by slot office
Starting point is 02:05:07 brass are now referring to the slot office as the office of the front hole or OOFA. Personally, I don't see the humor in it. No, it's because you only have Jewish Jewish exactly. And again, if either of you or both are anywhere near good old Blaine a gateway to the USA please do not hesitate to deposit yourself at the vault bistro and he says our money will be no good so anyway my amygdala thanks you he goes on and no agenda producers listeners feeling parched peckish are in the hood where can I say socialism from my deck I I say socialism from my deck? I can see socialism from my deck.
Starting point is 02:05:46 Yes, you can see Canada. Alan Finston, thank you for your undeniable courage. He's circumcision of the 10% off night of the fourth corner. And I'm sure we will have a mention of that meetup, which is coming up this Sunday. Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers of episode 1682 of the best podcast in the universe. We appreciate these these execs and associate execs
Starting point is 02:06:14 Of course, we appreciate any donation amount you send to us We don't mention anything under 50 for reasons of anonymity if everybody would consider giving us a sustaining Donation for every single show or whatever frequency you want to do, that's always welcome. NoAgendaDonations.com. That's NoAgendaDonations.com. Thank you again for producing episode 1682. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I'd like to start off this section with an Ask Adam. Oh goodness, I was unprepared for an Ask Adam. Yes, this is, because it's the Olympics, it's a big deal. It is, it is the Olympics, yes, it is the Olympics. We don't have any Olympic clips or anything because we'd get sued,
Starting point is 02:07:15 but we do have some, we have an Ask Adam based on the Olympics. Okay, so which one do I play here? You say Ask Adam Olympics Q. Okay, I'll say, you play here you say ask Adam Olympics Q Okay, I'll say you've seen the medals athletes have been winning at the Olympics all week. Uh-huh. Well trick question What do you think they're made of? Whoa What do you think they're made of? Well, I know what they represent
Starting point is 02:07:43 They they represent gold They represent gold. You would think there was some gold in that one. They represent silver, which you would hope there would be some silver in there, and bronze, but I'm going to go with tungsten. That's a good one. That's a callback that goes way back. So let's go. Okay, now this is the Ask Adam answer and Q2. At the end of this, this is a compound Ask Adam.
Starting point is 02:08:12 At the end of this is another question. Well, I want to say real solid gold, silver and bronze, but this question you're asking is making me second guess myself, I guess. As you should. According to international Olympic committee regulations, the Olympic gold medals must be made out of at least 92.5% silver, which comes out to 523 grams. And then they are plated with six grams of gold. Wait, wait, wait. Then what is the silver medal made of? Good question. The silver medal is 525 grams of pure silver.
Starting point is 02:08:47 So I bet you're wondering about the bronze medal. Yeah. It is an alloy made of copper, tin and zinc. Well, now you have me wondering how much each medal is worth. Well, according to Oxford economics, the gold... What a jip. What a jip. I remember when I was in the International School of Amsterdam and now this is when I was nine maybe eight or nine and they had some Olympic medalists come in and we were
Starting point is 02:09:15 all allowed to look at the gold medal and they said you can't touch it because it's pure gold and it could actually warp you could bend it. That's what they told me. Now, of course, that was in 1974. Well, maybe in 74 it was different. Well, maybe. And I don't see how it would warp though because you touched it.
Starting point is 02:09:35 Well, I mean, they just didn't want us with our grubby hands all over. They only just smudging it up and they have to clean it. That's what they didn't want. All right, so what is the final question? What are they worth? What's each one of them worth?
Starting point is 02:09:44 What do you think? How's each one of them worth? What do you think? How many grams of silver was it? 500 something? They're probably each worth about, I'd say about $275. Play the end. Bold is worth an estimated $1,027. The silver medal is about $535. And the bronze, sorry to tell you,
Starting point is 02:10:08 it's about $4.60. Oh man, what a chance! Answer the question, go! Wow, wow. Well, that was news that we can use at the water cooler. news that we can use at the water cooler. Yes, it's handy to know. Um, you know, there's been a lot of, uh, uh, hearings in Congress about, uh, the attempted assassination of, uh, president Trump and it's really, it's looking more and more like this went beyond incompetence, beyond incompetence. And as much as I don't like saying it, Jesse Waters did a pretty good backgrounder of everything that took place.
Starting point is 02:10:57 So I'm going to play a couple of his clips. This first one's a little longer. It's a buck and a half and the rest are very short. But I think it kind of brings us up to speed on some of the anomalies and atrocities and outrageousness of what took place here. A Secret Service counter sniper is predicting another assassination attempt before November. In an email obtained by Real Clear Politics,
Starting point is 02:11:20 a Secret Service agent with 20 years experience on the counter sniper team is announcing he's going to blow the whistle until all of his supervisors are fired. The counter sniper says his mission is to prevent another JFK style assassination. And the only reason that hasn't happened is because they've gotten lucky. He says Secret Service leadership is corrupt and states clearly, quote, we all should expect another assassination attempt to happen before November. We've exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership. After this email went public, it was wiped off the Secret Service servers.
Starting point is 02:11:58 There's a massive cover up underway and it spilled over into Congress. After Cheadle resigned in disgrace, her number two got promoted and testified today that the Secret Service screwed up, but the local police, it was really all their fault. Thirty seconds. If it's communicated directly to a counter sniper team, would that be enough time to react prior to the firing of those shots? Senator, if we'd had that information they would have been able to address it more quickly. It appears that
Starting point is 02:12:30 that information was stuck or siloed in that state and local channel. Were explicit instructions provided to cover the roof of the AGR building and locals just not follow it or were those explicit instructions not provided? It's my understanding what was communicated is that the locals had a plan and that they had been there before. We are looking at this and they should have been on that roof and the fact that they were in the building is something that I'm still trying to understand. So part of the reason that they weren't on the roof as the news has been very fragmented, the things we're hearing
Starting point is 02:13:05 is because it was too hot and therefore, oh, you local SWAT guys, don't go out there. You don't need to do that. Well, here's the local SWAT commander. The accusation that somehow we were told that to be on the roof line, for instance, to and that it was too hot. That's ridiculous. You know, our snipers are prepared to operate in Western Pennsylvania from anywhere from 10 degrees below zero to 90 degrees. They were prepared to be wherever they were told by Secret Service that day. Then probably the funniest,
Starting point is 02:13:44 most outrageous testimony, the reason that the Secret Service could not fly their drone to check around and see if anyone was, I don't know, walking around doing weird suspicious stuff. Well, there was a very, very clear and obvious explanation. They couldn't fly their drone. You had a drone system, but you had bandwidth problems. The bandwidth apparently was adequate for the shooter's drone, but not for the Secret Service.
Starting point is 02:14:16 Can you explain that? I have no explanation for it, sir. People fly drones all the time on the peripheries of our sites. And we go out and we talk to them and we ascertain what their intentions are. On this day in particular, because of the connectivity challenge, as you noted, there was a delay and he flew his drone at 351 approximately. They had bad internet. This is getting funnier by the minute.
Starting point is 02:14:47 And then of course, the most damning part is the person who was in fact responsible, the site supervisor has not been subpoenaed, been called or his name or her name even known to the public. Who was the lead site agent who made the decision to leave the AGR building completely outside of the security perimeter? Who was that? Senator, I cannot give you that name. This person is operational.
Starting point is 02:15:13 They're still doing investigations. They're still doing protective visits. Have they been relieved of duty? Senator, they have not been relieved of duty. I know their name, by the way. Why have they not been relieved of duty? They are still cooperating, not only being interviewed by the FBI, but also by our Office of Professional Responsibility.
Starting point is 02:15:29 I found it interesting that they both use the they pronoun. Is this person trans or is it more than one person? Is there more than one site supervisor? No, there'd be one site supervisor. And they both say they, I know their name. Well they can't, I mean, what is that? Maybe it's trans person. That would make sense.
Starting point is 02:15:54 Now the, it was, I think it was the FBI guy who was saying, well, you know, he was a registered Republican and, you know, he was, he had posted all kinds of, you know, anti-Semitic stuff. So that makes total sense. He wanted to kill Trump. Unfortunately, they also subpoenaed Gab and Torbus, the guy who runs the Gab site. He gave them all the information, which I think was 700 or 900 pages of posts. And these posts came after this 2019 information that showed this shooter, this Crooks fellow, as a registered Republican. Marsha Blackburn did bring it up in the hearing. And then we understand that the Gab account is pro-immigration, pro-lockdown, leftist views.
Starting point is 02:16:53 Is that accurate? I haven't seen it directly, but I believe from what I've been told that is accurate. With the Gab account, we're also, though that's been publicly revealed through the CIO and other things, we're still working to certify and verify that that's his account also, but it does have differing points of view. It would appear.
Starting point is 02:17:11 Okay. And what age and how fresh is that GAP account? The GAP account, based on my recollection, the comments in there or the messaging is from about 2021, I believe. Okay. And the other preceded that? Maybe he was age 14? Yes, Senator.
Starting point is 02:17:34 The other account that we talked about was in the 2019-2020 timeframes. So this, I mean, it's very odd. It reeks of a total cover up. And I would say, yeah, there's a cover up underway, particularly from the mainstream media. Were it not for this astounding interview that ABC aired and has been re-aired and hashed up and chopped up and put on everywhere, where they talk to the local guys who the Secret Service is blaming for the mess up and well here's a piece of it. I remember standing in the parking lot talking to one of the guys and we just became part of history and not in a good way. Wandering around it just seemed out of place.
Starting point is 02:18:20 Greg Nichols snapped these photos of the shooter. We had a text group between the local snipers that were on scene. I had sent those pictures out to that group and advised them of what I noticed and what I'd seen. What do you think is... I assume that there would be somebody coming out to speak with this individual or find out what's going on. So how do you know if Greg's concerns about crooks are being relayed properly? We don't. We have to assume that when he put that information out to command, that command took that information and did something with it.
Starting point is 02:18:58 And now, somehow, the Secret Service guys that were protecting Trump claim they never even got word of this. Like, they never heard got word of this like they never heard about it at all. We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the secret service snipers whenever they arrived and that never happened so I think that that was probably a pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the Secret Service.
Starting point is 02:19:24 You had no communication with the Secret Service. You had no communication with the Secret Service at all on that Saturday? No, not until after the shooting, I believe. Yeah. And by then? It was too late. The only thing I can come up with
Starting point is 02:19:37 is we were supposed to have a dead Trump and a lot of conspiracy theories. Just put as much nonsense, you get everything, make it look like everyone pointing at each other. This was, this is not playing out the way it was intended. This is baffling to me. Do you have any thoughts? Well there was a woman, I think her name's, last name is Crabtree, I'm not sure. She's an investigative journalist
Starting point is 02:20:05 who's been following this, and she was on one of the radio shows. And she says this guy, this guy who took over from Cheadle, is really the go-to guy. He's the guy responsible. He should have been fired too, along with her quitting. We're just gonna call him they. No, not they.
Starting point is 02:20:21 I'm not talking about the they guy. I'm talking about the guy that was testifying with the funny haircut. Oh, that guy. That guy. That guy. He's the second in command. He took over. He's the temporary chief now of the Secret Service guys. And she says he's the real responsible guy. He's the one. He's the go-to guy. Cheetah was just a figurehead, you know, on point E, and he's the guy who's really running things, and he's the guy who should go. Hmm.
Starting point is 02:20:49 I mean, I'm sure you've seen the video where you see the kid actually walking while Trump is talking. You see him getting into position just before he shot. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I think there may be something to the idea that Trump should be dead. He should be I think the
Starting point is 02:21:06 Of course, Joe was also supposed to be dead. Stay tuned And Trump should not be alive that and they had all this set up to make it just as confusing as possible You know the initial like wow, you know, he searched for JFK You know make it like a JFK, have people trying to figure this out for the next 50 years and then, oh, we can't release the files to Samsung. Right. And then also throw in this idea that Iran, put them on a hit list, which is something they don't necessarily release.
Starting point is 02:21:40 There's no way of knowing this. This is bull crap, that part. And then having the phony baloney bank accounts that this kid supposedly had in all over the world, somehow he's just a kid, give me a break. We may never know. We may never know. Trump is insinuating inside job. He's been, you know, Yeah, he has been insinuating that. He's been truthing. I have a couple of boots on the grounds about CrowdStrike.
Starting point is 02:22:06 You know, I've been, I have not let this Microsoft Azure outage slip by. Remember, we still don't really know. I mean, yeah, we know what happened with CrowdStrike, but the fact that it happened is so outrageous for a company that does these things for a living. It just makes no sense, but it came right after it looked like all of the Microsoft Azure, their whole cloud, Microsoft 365, all kinds of things were happening.
Starting point is 02:22:35 And we had- And don't forget that this also coincides with the shot at Trump. Yes, right after, well, a couple of days later, after his speech at the RNC, which I initially thought, well, you know, it seems like that happened right on time to change the news cycle, which it did.
Starting point is 02:22:55 But I have a couple of boots on the ground. First one, and these are all, dude named Ben in this case. I'm a vice president of delivery at a large Microsoft partner. Think along the lines of Avande, RSM or PWC. PricewaterhouseCoopers. The week of the CrowdStrike issue on that Thursday, the day before the large CrowdStrike outage,
Starting point is 02:23:18 we had observed an extremely large outage for all of our clients in the central US Azure region. Dynamics 365, CE, FNO, Outlook Teams, SharePoint, Accessible, etc were all unaccessible. We contacted Microsoft support and received little news or information as to the root cause, which is weird for a large partner. Even a week later, the information they've shared with us is a nothing burger. Friday morning is when we observed the CrowdStrike outage.
Starting point is 02:23:47 The news reported that CrowdStrike took down Azure, but on our end, it seemed to be the reverse. He says something happened at Microsoft and they appear to have requested assistance from CrowdStrike. Not sure of what else transpired or the nitty gritty, but figured I'd pass this along, given episode 1680's commentary. or the nitty gritty, but figured I'd pass this along, give an episode 1680s commentary. Then now Azure, and I've received several emails about this, they also run all of the military systems. Azure, Microsoft Azure is a big cloud provider
Starting point is 02:24:16 for the government, in particular for the military. I am currently seeing many articles about the new Microsoft 360 and Azure outages. This is from one of our producers in the army. I'm not done listening to Sunday show, but I'm not sure if you talked about this any further. My last email, I forgot to mention my skepticism of the timing of the cloud strike issues. Not sure about other branches of the army, but the army has very recently started officially
Starting point is 02:24:41 using Microsoft 360 slash Azure. Then all of a sudden they're having a lot of problems and now a network infrastructure issue. Just wondering if you and John believe that that looks like something that people are in fact trying to breach military Microsoft accounts. The timing is just too close to be some sort of coincidence. And there's only one article that talks about this. And then the final one, ITM, I had a quick boots on the ground report about the cyber incident. I work for a mechanical repair and overhaul company in the aviation industry. We have, I'm going to take out the name of that. We
Starting point is 02:25:17 have an even mix of commercial and military work. Earlier this week, we were told not to turn on any of our computers. The internet was shut off at every site from Texas to Indonesia. We had been hacked by someone or a group of someone for something. Obviously, since we do a lot of military work, the fears we were targeted for information on the different aircraft we serviced, but it could just also be a ransomware attack. I'm a machinist, not IT, so I only have limited information on all this. The only effect this has had on me so far as I can't Access Mastercam without the internet to verify the license. We use Microsoft Azure
Starting point is 02:25:51 I talked with my IT guy He said it's not a huge leap to think it's connected to what happened with them But everything they've been seeing points this being a long thought-out attack separate from that event Nobody knows what they were after or if they got it. Not surprised that this has happened. There've been a lot of complaints from our IT guys about poor network security. A handful of sites are in the middle of transitioning
Starting point is 02:26:13 to a new company after they recently were sold. And the word is triumph, drop their IT support for those sites prematurely before the new company that purchased them could take over. This smells bad. before the new company that purchased them could take over. This smells bad. And it's also very possible that some hack occurred on the Azure cloud network
Starting point is 02:26:36 and CrowdStrike was called in to take everything down, just bring all the computers down. We need everything to shut down right now, which it did. And it's a good way to do it. It's like the best kill switch you can imagine. One that you can relatively easily turn back on and guarantee that everybody using Microsoft in a network environment would have their machines cut off. We may never know, but I like our boots on the ground reporting. And then finally for you, from our constitutional lawyer Rob about the EULA and crowd strike, there is a class action lawsuit and it's a boy schiller. These are not just some fly by night dudes. And I said,
Starting point is 02:27:23 how can they get past the EULA how can they sue CrowdStrike for what happened and he gave me a two-point answer fraud vitiates whatever that means everything it touches including EULA's so if boy Schiller can make a colorable claim that CrowdStrike made false representation in selling its product, the EULA might fall by the wayside. What kind of representations? Well, it could be many things such as false statements about their pre-release testing, their safety measures or their recovery process, their security, etc.
Starting point is 02:28:00 Boy Schiller is scrubbing these issues out as we speak. If there's a crack in the EULA dam, Boy Schiller will find it these issues out as we speak. If there's a crack in the Eula dam, Boy Schiller will find it and use it to maximum effect. They wouldn't even have to take it to trial. Settlement leverage is all they need. So that's for you. Nice. Yeah, yeah, I love our producers.
Starting point is 02:28:21 This is why we're the best podcast in the universe. Yeah, pretty much. Rachel Maddow, she makes $30 million. Right on cue. Right on cue. It's time to start the pivot. We've got to get away from this AI. We've got to keep the Wall Street hype going.
Starting point is 02:28:40 60 Minutes comes in. Thank you, Scott Pelley. Whenever, when a hype is created, you know this douchebag Michio Kaku is going to be right in the middle of it. Artificial intelligence is the magic of the moment, but this is a story about what's next, something incomprehensible. This past December, IBM announced an advance in an entirely new kind of computing, one that may solve problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers millions of years. That's the difference in quantum computing, a technology being developed at IBM, Google, and others.
Starting point is 02:29:23 It's named for quantum physics, which describes the forces of the subatomic realm. And as we told you last winter, the science is deep, and we can't scratch the surface. But we hope to explain just enough so that you won't be blindsided by a breakthrough that could transform civilization. I like the term the magic of the moment. That's right. You got to believe in magic to believe it's coming. Yes. Bring in the crazy guy with the crazy hair.
Starting point is 02:29:58 The quantum computer pushes the limits of knowledge. New science, new engineering, new memes, all leading to this processor that computes with the atomic forces that created the universe. Oh no! It's godlike! It's godlike! To understand the change,
Starting point is 02:30:20 go back to 1947 and the invention of a switch called a transistor. Computers have processed information on transistors ever since, getting faster as more transistors were squeezed onto a chip. Billions of them today. But it takes that many because each today. Billions. But it takes that many because each transistor holds information in only two states. It's either on or it's off, like a coin, heads or tails. Not holding information. Hold on, I'm going to let you respond after this 19 seconds is up.
Starting point is 02:30:59 Tails. Quantum abandons transistors and encodes information on electrons that behave in a way so that they are heads and tails and everything in between. You've gone from handling one bit of information at a time on a transistor to exponentially more data. Alright, John C. Dvorak, technology expert. Tell me about quantum computing. Is it real? Is it coming? Is it here?
Starting point is 02:31:27 Is it the next big thing? Do we need to invest in it quick? Well, I'm not saying it's not a good investment if everyone thinks it's a good investment because that's how stocks go up and down. It's got nothing to do with anything. There's no evidence that these things work. There's no evidence that this technology is even doable and everything that's
Starting point is 02:31:48 been going on so far. And let's go with the quantum computing thing. Google made an announcement. It must've been 10 years ago that they had a quantum computer that solves some problem. They wouldn't have been able to solve in a hundred thousand years. And then what, What happened after? Where is this? How come we haven't gone anywhere since then? Because they don't have enough qubits.
Starting point is 02:32:12 They need more qubits. We need investment for more qubits. I mean, it's like, what happened? Do you remember this when Google said they solved some problem using their quantum computer? And it was like something that would have taken a hundred thousand years, but they did it like in 10 minutes or an hour or whatever it was, and then we haven't heard anything.
Starting point is 02:32:33 We haven't heard jack since then. What was that all about? It was bull crap is what it was. There's nothing solved. Let me see. I mean, this whole quantum computer thing is a pie in the sky that's never been shown to work. And if it was shown, if it ever could work using quantum physics, which maybe actually could have two things in two different things in two different spots at the same time, it's
Starting point is 02:33:00 really something no one can fathom. Nobody could program these things. This is ridiculous. But it's a good diversion. I have a 2016 clip of Justin Trudeau. ...about science. So you don't have to be a geek like me to appreciate how important this work is. Although I have to tell you, when we get to the media questions later, I'm really hoping people ask me how quantum computing works because remember he opened the quantum computer center in in Canada how'd that work out yeah man this is
Starting point is 02:33:32 from that's almost ten years ago this is 2019 Glenn Beck on quantum computing and right now that computer is called this is with Jeff Brown it was actually partially built by IBM and it's one of the Department of Energy's national laboratories and it's capable of something called 200 petaflops per second, which is... Just imagine football field sized... Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. I'm just telling you that my prediction that they're gonna switch, Wall Street will switch from AI to quantum computing because it's falling apart.
Starting point is 02:34:13 It's falling apart. It's got, it's got still got more legs. How much more legs? Well, got more legs. I won't bore you with me. I don't know how much more legs. All I know is it's got more legs. I won't bore you with me. I don't know how much more legs. All I know is it's got more legs. Well, you want to hear the last clip of Michio Kaku Kaku?
Starting point is 02:34:31 Yeah, I think it's enjoyable. You can see that there is fantastic amount of information stored when you can look at all possible angles, not just up or down. Physicist Michio Kaku of the City University of New York already calls today's computers classical. He uses a maze to explain quantum's difference. Let's look at a classical computer calculating how a mouse navigates a maze. It is painful. One by one, it has to map every single left turn, right turn, left turn, right turn, before it finds the goal. Now, a quantum computer scans all possible routes simultaneously.
Starting point is 02:35:15 This is amazing. How many turns are there? Hundreds of possible turns, right? Quantum computers do it all at once Cacus book titled quantum supremacy explains the stakes We're looking at a race a race between China between IBM. There it is Google Microsoft Honeywell all the big boys are in the way to create a workable operationally efficient quantum computer. Because the nation or company that does this will rule the world economy. This is what they said about AI.
Starting point is 02:35:54 And now it's about quantum computing and he's got a book out. So you know it's real. Apple has decided not to use Nvidia GPUs for its AI models. Instead, it's using the Google TPUs, which is interesting. Meta's AI assistant, which was widely distributed, said, oh no, no, Trump's assassination attempt was fictional. That's right up there with glue on your pizza. So I'll say it.
Starting point is 02:36:32 Let me be the one. There's no evidence quantum computing will ever work. Let me be the one to say it. And I'm not going to argue with you. No, that's for sure. Because there's no evidence. I use the no evidence card. There's no evidence that the whole, that the model even works at all.
Starting point is 02:36:54 I mean, let alone programmable. They had enough trouble. There was an era where they called it parallel computing and they came up with all these machines. Yes, I remember parallel computing. Yeah. And they couldn't program those things. They couldn't do it.
Starting point is 02:37:10 It's just not programmable. There's only so much you can, you have to program these things. They don't do it on their own. They can't, they don't self-program, even though there's a belief that AI creates programs and you know, it can do some code, but it doesn't, it's nothing creative. Somebody has to die before they give up this AI stuff. Someone's got to die. It's got to kill somebody.
Starting point is 02:37:35 I mean, it's all just such bunk and the energy. I mean, it's crazy how the energy requirements are just not being, you know, oh, well, you only need more power. Yeah, it doesn't matter. you know, it's climate change. Okay, but we don't care about climate change when it comes to that. No, no, not at all. Speaking of climate change, we got that horrible park fire up in California. Yeah, it's a good one. California. Yeah, it's a good one. Tonight, the nation's largest wildfire, brazen and boundless.
Starting point is 02:38:09 Firefighters spread thin over the Park Fire, a threat zone now sprawling across four counties. In less than a week, growing into California's sixth largest wildfire ever, according to CAL FIRE, the biggest in state history are all from the last six years, an era of climate driven fire seasons that scientists say start sooner and last longer. It seems to be just a continuous cycle of these and it wears on our community. NBC News just taking a little opportunity there to turn a clear case of arson into climate change. Thank you for that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:38:47 Now the guy blew up his car and drove it into a ditch and started the fire. But now it's climate change. What? These people are horrible. Not as bad though as Hotepp. Oh, your buddy. Dr. Hotepp. He's back in the news? Dr. Hotepp. Oh, your buddy. Dr. Hotepp.
Starting point is 02:39:05 He's back in the news? Dr. Hotepp Hotez is back. Now along with that, you need to know, let me just grab the the latest here, that, where is it? There's all kinds of approvals now for bird flu vaccines, dengue vaccines, whatever it is, we're gonna have a vaccine for you. Whatever we can get some traction with,
Starting point is 02:39:33 we'll have a vaccine, it's all mRNA based. And so they catch up with Hoteb Hotez and he says, it's really not gonna matter because there's too many people who are anti vaccine and anti science. We're going to have to call in the big guns, literally. You know, the health sector doesn't know what to do because this is not first and foremost a political problem. And what I've said to the Biden administration is the health sector can't solve this on its own. We're going to have to bring in Homeland Security, Commerce Department, Justice Department to
Starting point is 02:40:13 help us understand how to do this. And I've said the same with, I met with Dr. Tedros last month in Geneva, WHO, the director general to say, I don't know that the World Health Organization can solve this on our own. We need the other United Nations agencies. NATO, this is a security problem because it's no longer a theoretical construct or some arcane academic exercise. 200,000 Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression, anti-science aggression. And so this is now a lethal force that, and now I feel as a pediatric vaccine scientist,
Starting point is 02:40:54 it's just as, it's just as though it's important, just as it's important for me to make new vaccines to save lives, the other side of saving lives is countering this anti-vaccine aggression. So we need to make you take the vaccines at gunpoint. And everybody who is anti-vaccine or anti-science, anti-science aggression, they need to be arrested or shot, shot on sight. This guy is, he's a danger. He is a danger that guy. Unbelievable. And he looks at too, if you look at him, he is a creep.
Starting point is 02:41:30 He's a creep, yes. He's a complete creep. He looks like a creep. He's got the shape, his head, his look, his smile, everything. It's just gives you, it makes you, it's, it's, He's a creep. Skin crawl.
Starting point is 02:41:41 He's a creep. He's a creep. Hey, we can't end the show without discussing the chaos in the United Kingdom. I have one clip. Okay, where's your clip? WAPO? WAPO? Oh no, it says UK.
Starting point is 02:41:56 All right, maybe not. UK stabbings? Yeah, UK stabbings. Turning now to unrest in the UK,ers clash with police in Northwest England amid outrage over the killing of three young girls. So far, roughly 50 law enforcement officers were reportedly injured and nearly 30 of them were sent to the hospital.
Starting point is 02:42:16 The event traces back to a stabbing spree on Monday, where a 17 year old suspect killed three children and injured 11 others at a Taylor Swift themed dance class The stabbing suspect is currently in custody, but police have yet to release any details about him Officials said the outrage stems from allegations circulating that the suspect was an illegal immigrant footage show police vehicles Damaged and set alight as officers were pelted with bricks and large
Starting point is 02:42:45 garbage containers. The violence took place as the town was holding a peaceful vigil, mourning the lives lost in the tragic event. So we have a producer named Sarah in the UK and she's kept me very up to speed on this. Yeah, I've gotten her notes too. She's good. Oh, she sends them to you as well? I wonder if she sends the same ones.
Starting point is 02:43:03 Interesting. Very long and full of links? Oh, no, I don't get links from... I'm thinking of someone else. Yeah, maybe. Okay. So, she says it's really disgusting how the media and politicians are calling people who are taking to the streets and are outraged by what has happened, calling them far right and racist and members of Nigel Farage's party. And of course, this is horrible for the new Keir Starmer, the new prime minister, because it's all happening on his watch. But she also, and it's nothing I can play clips of, but she sent me clip after clip of people fighting in the streets with machetes. Machete is like the weapon of choice in the UK.
Starting point is 02:43:46 And it's just everywhere. They don't have guns. They don't have guns, so they got machetes. And now this kid, turns out his name is, his name is, because they have his name, Axel Rudacabana. He is of Rwandan parents. because they have his name, Axel Ruta-Kabana. He is of Rwandan parents. He was born in the UK. There's still no clear motive,
Starting point is 02:44:14 but he just went up and started slashing kids and anybody he could. And because he's only six days away from his 18th birthday, the magistrate has wisely decided to disclose his name. The media has only shown photos of him when he was like seven. Oh, look at this cute little kid. Well, he's not quite as cute. Yeah, very classic.
Starting point is 02:44:35 Well, there are two different court hearings today, Tom. First in the youth court, which has then moved on to the crown court for the second hearing where Axel Rudicabana was named and the reporting restrictions on his identity were lifted because he turns 18 in just six days and the judge here said that the principal interest for lifting that restriction was that he would soon reach his majority and therefore would have all those restrictions lifted regardless.
Starting point is 02:45:05 He also pointed towards much of the unrest that we've seen taking place across the country in recent days, rioting last night not only in London but also in Hartlepool and Manchester. The judge here saying, Mr. Munari, Mr. Justice Munari Casey saying that at least part of that rioting had been inspired by a vacuum of the facts where false information was being spread. He said this was nonsense and it needed to be challenged with the truth. Well, the truth is now that the suspect in this case alleged to have committed three murders and 10 attempted murders and possession of an offensive sharp blade is Axel Rudicabana, a 17-year-old again turning 18 in just six days. As the suspect in this case, sitting in the courtroom in the first lower court in the magistrates, he was silent but he smiled towards the press
Starting point is 02:45:59 gallery behind the dock as he entered the court and then covered his face with his grey jumper tracksuit. In the Crown Court he entered the court and then covered his face with his gray jumper tracksuit. In the Crown Court, he entered without gazing towards us, again covering his face with a tracksuit, rocking gently side to side as he heard deliberations between the defending and prosecuting barristers and the judge about these reporting restrictions and upcoming dates. So, it's a tinderbox right now and people have taken to 10 Downing Street, got a couple of good chants which I thought were worth playing.
Starting point is 02:46:32 This is the first one. This is the crowd chanting. I can't, I don't understand what they said. No more boats! No more boats! This is the crowd chanting. I can't, I don't understand what they said. No more boats. No more boats is what they said? Yeah, because the immigrants are coming in on boats. No more boats. No more boats! No more boats!
Starting point is 02:47:00 No more boats. And then this one, hopefully you can understand. We want our country back. Well, you voted for the wrong party if you want your country back because they're all in on immigration. So well,, so is, I mean, the immigration peaked with it, with the, with the conservatives, it was going through the roof with them and in their last year. I didn't say they should vote conservative. I said they voted the wrong party. How about Nigel Farage? I guess you're going to have to go that way because these two parties, the conservatives and the, and the labor are just, they're useless.
Starting point is 02:47:46 They're not, they don't care. Uh, it's a, what a mess. What a mess. Yeah. That's the knife crime is just, it's amazing, but the Brits, you know, and these guys are walking around. They got the, the union Jack flag draped around their shoulders. It's, this is a Tinder box situation.
Starting point is 02:48:05 This is not going to end well. And I don't, I don't think they know what to do. And other than take a hard line, people want a hard line now. They're sick of it. They're sick of it. And it's not necessarily that, by the way, what's this with always showing the, the, the 15 year old picture. You know, of the shooter,
Starting point is 02:48:26 the Trump assassin, this kid, all of it. Yeah, they always show some picture when the kid was young and innocent looking. Yes, that's like, it's like such a gaslight. They did that with the hands up don't shoot guy. Yeah, with the hands up. Who's a big fat, huge bruiser, and they keep showing a little picture when he was in grammar school. Yeah. He was a big fat huge bruiser and they keep showing a little picture when he was in grammar school. Yeah. Brown or whatever his
Starting point is 02:48:50 name was. Yeah. You gave me a link for the show notes it has not come up I just want to remind you electro hypersensitivity do you want to talk about that or is that something that can wait? I'm not gonna be able to talk about it. Forgot I even sent that to be able to talk about it. Forgot I even sent that to you, not you mentioned it. Hey, do we need to do anything on the... I'll just say quickly that it's a good link in the show notes. People should check out, which has to do with RF, basically too much of it in the house.
Starting point is 02:49:21 You're getting tinnitus, you're getting all these issues from the, that's why I tell people to use the home plug networking system that goes through the wires. Yes, yes. It works, it's actually faster. There's no degradation over the length of the distance between the source with the wifi. You get slower and slower as you get further away.
Starting point is 02:49:48 You don't have that problem with the home wire. I recommend a tinfoil hat, personally, that will protect you. Probably is not a bad idea nowadays. Here's an interesting little update. The Pentagon just announced the three men, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Waleed Bin Attash, and Mustafa al-Hawassawi, will plead guilty to some charges as early as next week as part of plea agreements in the military commission's process. They've been held at Gitmo for years, with the U.S. accusing the al-Qaeda terrorist suspects
Starting point is 02:50:16 of plotting the 9-11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. Now, the details of the plea agreements are still unknown, but they are expected to plead guilty to lesser charges that could spare them the death penalty. Sentencing may not come for months, but they will likely appear at a hearing in Guantanamo in the coming days. I'm not quite sure what to make of that news, why that's coming out now all of a sudden. I don't understand the timing of it. There's some reason for it happening.
Starting point is 02:50:43 Yeah, something is up there. Maybe they're getting ready to shut down Guantanamo. And then of course, Israel striking Beirut. Yeah, we should at least talk about this. All right, you got a clip I'm sure. I also have some clips on the Venezuelan election. I can push those off. Yeah, we have to push that off because we're running.
Starting point is 02:51:01 We're running on schedule. But this Israel thing is too much stuff going on. I have an analysis from a Hamas expert that I think might be worth listening to. This is a, let's play the backgrounder first. This is the clip, Israel kills two leaders. Israel kills two leaders. We turn to the Middle East where two developments in the past 24 hours have pushed tensions to a critical point.
Starting point is 02:51:28 First, Israel said it killed a leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah in Beirut, and then another airstrike, allegedly carried out by Israel, took out a political leader and head of negotiations for a possible ceasefire deal in Gaza. Given Haniya's public-facing role and leadership, we wanted to know what his death means for Hamas. So, we called Khalid El-Gindy. He's a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute where he directs the program on Palestine and Israeli-Palestinian affairs. Welcome back to All Things Considered. Khalid El-Gindy Thanks for having me back.
Starting point is 02:51:58 Danielle Pletka Well, Israel has now allegedly killed three out of the four top leaders of Hamas, but Hamas says its leaders don't matter, that it has lost plenty of leaders to Israeli attacks before. How do you see the loss of Haneeyah affecting the group's operations and the war in Gaza overall? Well, in terms of Hamas' operations, it's not going to change that much in the immediate term in that there
Starting point is 02:52:25 will be a replacement. And this is not the first time that Hamas leader has been assassinated by Israel. And Hamas will survive, but also probably gain a lot of domestic political support among Palestinians because Haniyeh was seen as someone who's not a radical, not even a military person. I want to follow up on that. was seen as someone who's not a radical, not even a military person. I want to follow up on that. You think that there will be actually more support for Hamas following Haniyeh's death because he was moderate, but I mean, doesn't that depend on who succeeds Haniyeh? If he was more moderate, in your view, might that actually harden Hamas' resolve
Starting point is 02:53:02 and perhaps leave leadership in the hands of hardliners? Yeah. And I think the two things can both be true. You can gain support because people will sympathize with Hamas that has taken so many losses. And also, it is likely to radicalize the movement from within. Okay. All right. That's basically, I had to cut that off because the guy was boring. Yeah, he was.
Starting point is 02:53:26 But the... It's quite boring. But the thing that's interesting is discussed a little bit by these last two clips, which are the analysis clips from NTD, which has good... They bring on good analysts better than what you heard was NPR, was the fact that this guy, this Hamas guy was in a hardened facility owned by, you know, run by the Iranian or the Iranian Iranian Guard, whatever that Guard, the operations called it. Yeah, the Revolutionary Guard. And it was one of those missiles we've
Starting point is 02:54:05 heard about, we see about, we know about, we don't know the details how they work. I think they're worked with a beacon personally, but it's like shot from a hundred miles away up from an, I think with an F-16 or F-3. Laser precision, surgical precision. A hundred miles away, goes into Tehran, goes downtown, goes up the main drag, goes up and into the window of that guy's room and blows him up. Nice. That's like, wow. It is.
Starting point is 02:54:37 So let's listen to this guy. Earlier, we spoke with Cameron Consorini, vice president of the National Union for Democracy in Iran, about the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran. Now, Hamas is saying that its political leader was killed by an Israeli strike in Tehran, Iran's capital. Now, the Israeli government has yet to take credit for this. But if it was Israel, what is the message here? I think the message to the Islamic Republic is loudly and clearly that wherever you are,
Starting point is 02:55:05 wherever your proxies are, even if they're in the heart of your capital, we can get you and we will get you. And I think that message was received very clearly in Tehran. Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, was killed in Tehran only hours after a private meeting in his secret compound, the supreme leader's secret compound that is, and he was there attending the inauguration of the regime's new president. So I think that there's no doubt the message to Tehran was, we will find you and we will eliminate you, and we can also do it to other of your officials as well.
Starting point is 02:55:36 I think it was not only the killing of Ismail Haniyeh that was important, it was the message that it was sending to Ali Khamenei, to Masoud Pesishkian, and to the leaders of the Islamic Republic that Israel has clearly penetrated very high levels of the regime in Tehran. And in your view, is this deterrence or escalation? I think it's clearly deterrence. I think it was such a blow to the Islamic Republic. Obviously, Ismail Hanya is not Iranian, but he is the leader of one of the Islamic Republic's most important proxies.
Starting point is 02:56:08 Had he been killed anywhere, it would have been a blow to the regime. The fact that he was killed in Tehran on such an important day for the regime, just hours after seeing the Supreme Leader, makes it all that much more significant. And I think that as a result of this, it was such a significant blow that the regime will be forced to back down to it to some extent. I don't think that this will lead to a larger escalation or a full out war. So my question is, if this guy is like an important Hamas guy, how did he get to Iran? Did he hop in a jet at Gaza International? Iran? Did he hop in a jet at Gaza International? No, this is the guy who is living in Qatar.
Starting point is 02:56:49 Oh, this is that guy. Oh, he's one of the... Okay. Well, this had to be one of our missiles. We didn't give Israel that stuff. I would have to assume it's one of our missiles. Who else dreams of stuff like this? Well, Blinken is like, no. Blinken's like, oh, we don't know about it. Yeah, he's like, we don't know about it. No, we don't know. We don't know nothing.
Starting point is 02:57:11 But it's like something, you know, you have to wonder how the technology works. I mean, and this was supposedly the eyeless tool. It's easy. You got an iPhone, we can kill you. I think that might be part of it. Yeah. It could hone in on an iPhone, we can kill you. I think that might be part of it. Yeah. It could hone in on an iPhone signal. It could hone in on some, a bug that's planted in the room by an agent. An Apple
Starting point is 02:57:34 watch. One of those rings, one of those smart rings. It could be, I mean, but the thing finds it and then it just goes flying around and then it finds it and goes into the window. It's what kills me the most. It goes in there and blows up the guy's room and leaves everything else there. It's like what? It's the iPhone of death. I think that, you know, I didn't think about the iPhone, but it's possible.
Starting point is 02:57:59 They have the guy's phone number. Maybe they were calling him at the time. Yes, yeah. They had to pick up. Oh, goodness. Oh, here's part two of this. And given the tensions we are seeing in the region, whether that's in Gaza, Lebanon, even Turkey potentially weighing in, what steps do you see as needed to make sure this
Starting point is 02:58:17 doesn't become a regional war? There will be more regional chaos. There will be more murdered innocent civilians on all sides. Israeli, Arab, Iranian, Western, as long as the regime in Iran is still in power. The Islamic Republic has spent 45 years doing what it calls exporting the revolution. It seeks to undermine legitimate national governments in Arab countries around the world. We see right now the Islamic Republic trying to undermine the Saudi Arabian government, the Jordanian government, the Emirati government, so many others.
Starting point is 02:58:52 It's effectively taking control of the Iraqi government over the past several years. So as long as this regime is in power, there is no real path to peace. There is no better deal to be had with the regime in Iran. The only solution really lies in supporting the people of Iran who every day are facing the brunt of this evil and criminal regime and are fighting back against it. If they're successful in getting rid of Ali Khamenei, the puppet master of all this crime and terrorism, then there's a real chance, if not probability or guarantee of peace until that happens I don't see a path to peace in the Middle East.
Starting point is 02:59:28 Yeah, all right. My analysis real quick. This is the military industrial complex doing their own thing. I don't think Blinken knew about it at all. They're doing it. They're making sure that we get something started here, make it look real scary. Trump may even have something to do with it. This has Trump written all over it. By the way, I could just see him coming out going, we had a smart bomb. It was so
Starting point is 02:59:49 smart. It was so smart. It's like, I got high IQ, but this bomb, this is very smart. You sound like Gorka. Yeah. Same, you know, Trump also leaked out his peace plan for Ukraine, where he says, if I'm re-elected, I'm going to cut off Ukraine, aid to Ukraine, but also I'm going to impose sanctions on Russia that you've never seen before. This is, I think this is playing out in the background. The peacemaker is coming. This is his big October surprise.
Starting point is 03:00:22 He's going to figure out a way to claim it. He just had Bibi Netanyahu there. None of this is coincidence. That's just my thinking. Well, anything would be better than President Harris. I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
