Oh, duh.
Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.
This is your award-winning Gilman Asian Media Assassination Episode 1709.
This is no agenda.
Cueing up for the election and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas civil country right here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we would like to see Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad.
It's daylight savings time.
No!
I'm John C.
Devorah.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Wow, aren't we animated this morning?
Huh.
You can't say those things on television.
They said it.
They were the one.
Everyone was saying it but Trump.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I think it was a wishful thinking.
It was unbelievable.
I don't even, do you have a clip of that?
I don't even have a clip of it.
No, I don't.
I mean, it may be some subclips.
It was so stupid.
It may be within a clip but.
It is.
Just to round it up for everybody, Trump said that Cheney was a war hawk and she would feel differently if she was at war holding one rifle with a bunch of rifles pointed at her.
Nine, nine, nine, nine of them.
Nine.
Nine rifles pointed at her head.
And so the media says Trump wants Cheney in front of a firing squad.
Oh, I don't know how you got from A to B but that's what they did.
I have to play this ad.
It's, I mean, what is happening?
As if the mainstream M5M hasn't decredited themselves enough already.
I mean, it's so blatant.
Anybody who is not completely under MKUltra mind control can see that they're taking this.
Or on the P Diddy party list.
And so this comes, this was, this video, and the audio is good enough.
The video is quite good.
It's an AI job where they made Trump look old and Vance look old.
And you just have to envision the entire thing is dark dystopian.
It starts off with a group of what I think are not just Democrats but really this is aimed at Republicans.
Young people voting Republican, let me put it that way.
And, you know, there's fires and they're sitting in a little circle, you know, sharing a little morsel of bread amongst each other.
Because the whole world has burned down around them.
And it's their own fault.
We weren't always like this.
We had a beautiful life.
The best parties.
The most beautiful friends.
We thought it was just another election.
So a lot of us didn't vote.
Why bother?
Everyone knew the system was rigged.
Many of us even voted for them.
I know it sounds crazy now, but we didn't like Democrats back then.
We were angry about the vaccine mandates.
And how they handled the war in Gaza.
And the way they wanted to censor free speech on the internet.
So what did we end up doing?
We voted for the guys who openly said they wanted to imprison dissenters.
And use the military against their political opponents.
So yeah, we were wrong on that.
Big time.
When Trump got sick and died, Vance was 39 years old when he became president.
30 years later, he's still president today.
And with the Supreme Court on his side, they gave him dictatorial powers.
They took away women's reproductive rights, outlawed contraception, and removed the minimum wage.
Then we had repression of dissent.
AI surveillance of everything we did or said on a level we couldn't imagine.
The government under Vance, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk set up concentration camps for illegal immigrants.
Then legal immigrants, and even homeless people.
They finally admitted climate change was real, but it was too late.
Florida sank into the Gulf, and the West burned.
And cities across the country became uninsurable, then uninhabitable.
Musk and Thiel poured all of our resources into artificial intelligence.
So they and their friends could become immortal.
I don't know what happened to them.
But I know what happened to us.
You might die.
Oh no.
So I guess JJ Abrams is still doing work for the Democrats.
Even the voice was AI.
Everything was AI.
There were credits at the end.
The tag was for vote.org.
So, you know, if anything, it was kind of fun.
The true unaffiliated PAC advertisement, which is from progressinamerica.org, I believe, is another one of those.
I'm your Republican congressman.
Here it comes.
Dr. Davis, what do I do?
John, she needs an abortion, or she's going to die from the pregnancy.
Sorry, that's not happening.
What are you doing?
Who are you?
I'm your Republican congressman.
Now that we're in charge, we banned abortion.
No exceptions.
You can't do this.
She's dying.
I won the last election.
So it's my decision.
But don't worry.
You can still have children.
Just not with her.
Oh man.
Wow.
Sick, sick, sick people.
They're really swinging for the fences.
Oh, it's fantastic.
Now, luckily, luckily, everybody got distracted.
We have an update on a story that we told you about earlier.
A squirrel that was seized in western New York earlier this week.
On Eyewitness News this morning, we told you about Peanut, who has a big global following on social media.
Well, we just learned it was euthanized after biting someone.
It's now being tested for rabies.
His owner, Mark Longo, says officers raided his home, taking Peanut and other animals.
Longo runs a sanctuary in western New York, housing horses, goats, and other animals.
But it's against New York state law to own a wild animal without a license.
And after receiving several complaints and fearing the unsafe housing of wildlife that could carry rabies, agents stepped in, took the squirrel, and have euthanized it.
They're killing the squirrels.
What about the raccoon?
They also took his raccoon.
They're eating the dogs.
I mean, we all need to lighten up, people.
Just lighten up.
Oh, it's crazy.
Poor Peanut.
Yes, Peanut.
How did it bite someone?
Was it out roaming around?
Nah, I don't know.
Hitchhiking?
What was this squirrel doing?
Okay, okay, okay.
You have now twisted my arm.
It wasn't enough just to play that.
I will play the ABC Good Morning America report.
A social media star has been seized by authorities.
Seized and killed.
Upstate New York, and his fans are going nuts.
Oh, nice, nice little pun there, ABC.
And his fans are going nuts.
Get it?
Seized by authorities in upstate New York, and his fans are going nuts.
To take Peanut away from my family is not only, you know.
It's our income.
It's our income.
Heart-wrenching, but then you take it away from the organization that solely gets its funding from social media that requires Peanut to get that funding.
Mark Longo says officers raided his home, taking his pet squirrel, Peanut, and his raccoon, Fred.
Fred, Fred.
Longo runs a sanctuary, housing horses, goats, and alpacas, and says he relies on these social media videos to raise money.
But it's against New York law to own a wild animal without a license.
The Department of Environmental Conservation says It received multiple reports about the potentially unsafe housing of wildlife that could carry rabies.
My next step is to be contacted.
You know, DEC, the state, nobody has reached out to me to say anything.
I don't know if Peanut is alive or they euthanized him.
Longo says he rescued Peanut seven years ago after its mother got hit by a car and says Peanut came back after being released.
He questions whether all this was even necessary.
I know the laws are the laws and the rules are the rules, but the fact of the matter is they brought eight officers here who ransacked my house for a squirrel and a raccoon.
Yeah.
It's sad.
This is all so wrong.
Eight officers ransacked the house to take a squirrel and a raccoon.
What are we doing?
You can't write this stuff.
No.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, government?
This is Kathy Hochul.
Okay, you bring up Hochul.
Let's go straight.
I got a Hochul clip, too.
I got a 23-second teaser.
It gave me a chance to tie the Republicans running in these seats, the incumbents, closer to Donald Trump and remind everybody if you're voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and you're anti-woman, you're anti-abortion, and basically you're anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about.
But you're anti-squirrel.
American values are about abortion.
That's what this country is all about.
No, no.
That's what they're all about, people like Kathy Hochul.
That was my clip.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that was your clip.
No, it's okay.
You got the clip.
You beat me to it.
You're holding the controls.
You're steamrolling me.
Here we go.
Here we go with the steamrolling accusations.
Okay.
I want to hear more squirrel clips.
I have to disappoint you.
I don't have more squirrel clips.
But I do have a couple of series.
It's funny that I never picked up a squirrel clip because I knew for some reason, some subconscious reason, I said, you know, Adam's going to get these squirrel clips.
Of course.
And can we just complain briefly for a moment about the elites of the world stealing our light or saying they have control over our light when we can have our light, when we have to give up our light.
Oh, use some light back to you.
I'm so sick of this daylight saving.
The daylight saving time.
Oh, the daylight savings thing, yeah.
Yeah, they're stealing it.
They're stealing our light.
Or, you know, or giving out a little morsel.
Or giving us light.
Give us more light.
I don't know.
Give us a little morsel.
I slept an extra hour, and so it didn't do me any good one way or the other.
Usually on these days, you're a little grumpy because either you didn't sleep enough or you slept too much.
You're kind of like a newborn that way.
So before we get into some of the crazier stuff here, I received a number of complaints.
A number of complaints.
Okay.
Why do you think that it's not going to happen?
The grid's going to go down.
Don't you know this is real?
You're kidding.
Even worse.
You're obfuscating everything.
You have changed the great reset to the season of reveal.
Oh, yeah, we know what you're up to, Curry.
Season of reveal.
Well, I'm against that, too, so put me in with those guys.
Well, that's just too bad.
What season are we talking about?
Well, a season can last for a day.
It can last for a year.
It's an ongoing process.
It could last for an epoch.
Yes, it's an ongoing process.
All is being revealed.
Nothing that is hidden will stay hidden.
It's just not going to be that way.
That'll be the day.
I got some great clips from you already.
This is fantastic.
So here it is.
Where does it all come from?
Because if you hear Bongino, if you hear all of these guys just go, You know, I don't know.
It's not that I only listen to Bongino in the car if I'm going to the store.
So I haven't heard him for a while, and I find it hard to believe that Bongino is in on this.
Another ex-kind of Intel guy, ex-Social Security.
Hello, I'm Dan Bongino, Social Security agent.
No, he was, what is it?
Secret Service.
Secret Service, thank you.
So I'm led to believe that this is all coming from Q, who, as you know, has always been right.
Q.
Q's been right all along.
The guy that was on Star Trek.
You know exactly who Q is.
Well, Q is like Satoshi Nakamoto.
We're not quite sure who Q is.
So Q is saying, Prepare for zero-day massive cyber power attacks and attempts on 11-4.
On what?
Yeah, on November 4th.
It's all going down tomorrow.
It's all going down tomorrow.
That's when everything goes out.
Tomorrow?
Monday?
Yes, yes.
This is when the grid's going to go down.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
You know, the funny thing is, I would actually be inclined to believe something like this if they had actually done what they keep wanting to do, which is make the grid one giant operation so you can flip one switch, the whole country would go down.
But no, these are all independent little grids.
They don't go down as a whole.
It's not possible.
You can get a cascading effect like you had back in New York, back in the day.
Well, even then.
Or, you know, one station goes down and a whole bunch of them go down, so you have a blackout.
No.
Even then, as long as you don't have an event like a flood, I mean, the cell towers will stay up.
They're all powered by—they all have solar.
They have some generator backup power.
Yeah, they have to fall over.
Yeah, Skynet, Elon's thing, Starlink, that'll stay up.
Skynet, yes.
Elon's Skynet's going to be there.
Excuse me, Elon.
Get it right.
I'm going to have trouble with that, but I'm going to try to get to Elon.
Elon.
Well, you know what?
It's actually catching on.
Elon, you know, he was being sued or had to go to court, I guess, because of his $1 million giveaway.
And so I think it was—was it the governor who wanted him to go to court?
But just listen, this is a short report.
He did not show up to court.
And, spoiler, there's been no decision.
In true Halloween spirit, Elon Musk has been treating the world to a few tricks.
And his latest?
Hide and seek.
The billionaire decided to skip his scheduled court hearing in Pennsylvania, a state widely acknowledged to hold the keys to the Oval Office.
This morning, DA Krasner was here to testify.
Elon Musk didn't show.
He kind of says Elon.
He kind of says Elon.
Not quite.
Musk's electoral lottery scheme was under scrutiny for potentially violating state gaming laws.
The case was not based on national electoral regulation, but rather Pennsylvania's legislation against illegal lotteries and deceiving consumers.
On Mischief Night.
Mischief Night.
Elon Musk.
Yeah, there he said Elon.
He said Elon.
And deceiving consumers.
On Mischief Night.
Elon Musk and his PAC, Ameripac, filed legal papers to have the case removed from this court to federal court, and we will proceed to federal court.
Go get him!
Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled that the case should be put on hold whilst the federal court considers taking up the lawsuit.
For the time being, the show can go on.
Oh, but that wasn't the only thing happening.
Oh, there's so much going on.
John Fetterman.
After J.D. Vance, who was on Rogan, which was quite interesting.
Did you see any of that?
Not really.
I saw clips.
I didn't watch it.
It was pretty good.
Yeah, well, Vance is good.
You see him here and there, and he's quite talented.
He's a very good talker.
Yeah, Tina was not a fan.
He's quick on his feet.
He's not like, he doesn't stumble, bumble, or mumble.
He came very personable, and they went into quite depth, quite some depth, and he would make a fine 49th president after, of course, Joe Biden is eliminated before January 20th so Kamala Harris can be the first female president then Trump can get.
I've heard that, but I think because of what I have coming up here in these clips, I don't think Biden's going to do that.
All right, let me just play this Rogan clip.
This is not J.D. Vance.
This is Fetterman.
Who let that guy out, especially onto the Rogan show?
They did a good number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year.
I think it was 2 million people.
So it was still the same sort of situation, and their fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states, and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever.
Well, I'm not really sure if that's what's in play.
I think it's really important that we have an honest conversation.
But doesn't that seem logical, though?
If you have a significant number of people
that are being moved into swing states
that have come across the border illegally,
and then you've provided them with all these services,
you provided them with food stamps, EBT,
you provided them with housing,
you could, if you gave those people amnesty
and allowed those people to vote,
and it was very organized,
you're talking about 75,000 votes over a few counties
that switched everything over to the Republicans,
you could see how you import 10 million people
over the course of four years, illegally,
and then move a significant number of them to swing states
and then provide them with all these services
and then give them a path to citizenship.
You could essentially rig those states.
Undeniably.
Immigration is changing our nation.
I mean, I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, but it's very clear that immigration has remade Texas.
Undeniably.
Then he talks about Texas being screwed over.
Texas going blue.
Texas going blue.
All right, go for your clips.
That ain't going to happen, by the way.
No, they always say that.
We've heard it for five cycles in a row.
All right, go for your sequence.
And of course, Cruz uses it as campaign rhetoric so he can get more money.
I am sick of Cruz.
I like Cruz.
I don't care what you think.
Hey, I still think he's good for what he does, but his text message is like, I'm in the fight of my life.
I don't get to see any of that crap.
Mimi somehow got on the Harris message thing on the phone.
Somehow she donated.
No, I don't know.
It's because she's in Washington state.
They assume everyone there's a Democrat.
But she gets these phone messages, and I told her whatever she does not to unsubscribe or do anything.
Now, I, of course, never get any of these phone messages.
I don't understand that.
Because your phone is in the drawer.
Yeah, so?
As far as the campaigning companies are concerned.
Your phone has to be out?
You're inactive.
You're an inactive user.
They think that you may...
They've taken you off the list.
Oh, that guy's dead.
To them?
Yeah, to them.
So she'll get like 10 a day.
Oh, she's on the low rotation list.
And she sends them.
I said, send me a bunch of them.
I want to look at them, because I wanted to deconstruct the sales pitch.
The sales pitch is poor, man.
It's poor.
It's amateur hour.
Who's writing the copy?
Try to find someone who knows what they're doing.
And I explained to Mimi a couple of the basic rules of how to present the sales letter.
And it was like, they are just screwing the pooch with this junk.
They need to be sending pictures of very sad puppies.
They've got it all wrong.
Yeah, we're going to have to be doing that pretty soon.
By the way, I'm pretty convinced...
I never click on any of the links.
I'm pretty convinced at least half of those are scammers.
You think you're donating to a campaign and you're donating to China or something.
I'm not so sure they're all legit.
Oh, that's an interesting possibility.
Why not?
The logic is they want $47.
And Mimi's just baffled.
Why 47?
They usually want five bucks chipped in.
She doesn't understand 47?
She doesn't understand the 47?
Well, tell me.
I don't understand it either.
47th president.
Oh, duh.
Pretty much a no agenda trick right there.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
So now you know, when we do stuff like that, people are going, $33?
Why?
What's $33?
That's a number.
There's a reason for that.
All right.
All right.
47.
The way they present it though, it's not as though she's...
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Well, let me know about Biden.
Why is he not going anywhere?
Here's Blago on Biden.
Blago is back.
So Blago's been on Gutfeld too.
So Blago, who was pardoned, well, he's commuted by Trump.
He was not pardoned.
Well, explain who he is for newbies.
Rod Blagojevich was the governor of Illinois who was caught supposedly, he claims this is bullcrap.
He was just casually chatting on the phone with somebody and his phone line was tapped for some unknown reason by the feds.
By Obama.
Maybe.
Maybe.
And he was supposedly auctioning off Obama's seat because he was a senator and he had to quit to run for president.
And so Blago, which is his nickname, decided to auction off the seat.
Oh, you know, and he's talking to somebody.
This is a gold mine.
We're going to make a lot of money on this deal.
To one of his buddies.
And they put it on tape and guilty.
So they sent him to prison for 14 years for just making the comment.
They can't prove he did anything.
That's excellent.
And so he was pissed about that.
And nobody would do anything about it.
So Trump commuted him in 2020, I think.
And so Blago, I think, feels indebted to Trump.
So now he's a big Trump supporter.
And so he comes on the Fox shows now.
And so he was on Jesse Waters.
Yeah.
The Water's Well.
Sorry?
The Water's Well.
We're going to the Water's Well.
The Water's Well.
Actually, the show is called Jesse Waters Prime Time.
So he goes on the show and he and Waters is trying to talk about a couple of different topics in this show.
And Blago drops his beauty right in his lap.
And then he brings it back later in the conversation.
And Waters is like, kind of, you know, this is not the way the script's supposed to go.
So I'm going to go back and talk about what I was going to talk about, what was written for me.
These shows are very structured.
And they're written by a staff of people in the background.
And Waters had the opportunity here to really make hay with this, which he didn't.
I don't think he did.
He just kind of went along with it.
But I thought it was dynamite.
And it brought me to the point in the newsletter where I took it to the next level.
But listen to Blago talk about the garbage comment.
Former Democratic Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich joins me now.
So they got Biden, who escaped the White House, continues to humiliate his understudy.
Now they took his phone, they took his laptop.
Do you think there's going to be another blowup before Tuesday?
You know, Jesse, it's too bad Biden votes in Delaware, not in Pennsylvania, because that would be another vote for Trump.
I think Biden has actually pulled the knife that she stuck in his back a few months ago and has now taken it out and has stuck it in her back.
This is payback, what he's doing.
I know he's infirm and he's not the guy he used to be.
But calling the American people garbage, that was no mistake.
And doing it on the eve of the election the way he did, stepping on her message at her big event.
This was purposeful.
Joe Biden doesn't want to be remembered in history as Herbert Hoover plus being forced out by his party after winning 14 million Democratic primary votes.
So the Democratic Party is facing the chickens coming home to roost.
They've been lying so long to the American people.
They lie to each other.
She was working behind the scenes to get him out so she can get his spot.
And now he's doing it to her.
And these lies have come home.
And I think hopefully, God willing, we won't need Biden's vote in Pennsylvania.
Trump will win it anyway.
Stuck the knife in.
So they talk about a bunch of stuff for another five or six minutes.
And then at the very end, they wrap it with this, which is he brings it back.
And then after he does this little, his hit, as they would call it.
They brought in another guy from another Fox contributor and they start talking about something else.
It's just the fact that they dropped the ball on this great material is beyond me.
But here we go.
Because she was in charge of the border.
Something like 20 million people had crashed into our country illegally.
She can't answer that.
So they have to do what they do, call him all kinds of names and lie and lie and lie because that's what they do.
But it's catching up to him.
I truly believe the American people.
It does look like it's catching up to him because they have Biden on the loose.
And now Obama's guys are threatening Joe.
He's not going to have a library if it keeps up the stupid talk.
What point does Barack Obama take any ownership of this?
They could the guy.
He's still alive.
He's making everyone's life miserable.
I mean, what more can they do?
I don't know that they can do much more.
And again, I think this is much larger than just, you know, taking orders from the establishment.
Biden is aggrieved and he feels like he was cheated by the Democrat establishment that made him.
He made her and she knifed him in the back.
And this is his payback.
And why not?
Look at how they're treating him with the kind of contempt and disrespect.
He's the sitting president of the United States who only six months ago, they all said, was mentally capable.
Now they're treating him like he's the well-demented grandfather who's they're afraid he might say something bad and stupid.
And frankly, they're right to have that fear.
But I really believe Biden knows what he's doing.
And I think that comment about garbage and, you know, some of the other things he's been saying, I think they've been targeted.
They've been timed.
And I think they've been very effective to put a monkey wrench into the Harris campaign.
He's cagier than he looks and appears to be.
We'll see how it all plays out.
Waters, you know, this is why he's on Fox.
He's not a podcaster because he doesn't he just he's not picking up on the on the on the meat.
He's gnawing on the bone.
He didn't figure it out.
It's just the nature of that job.
You know, it's like you're given a script.
You have to do this where you get your A, B block, your B block, your C block, your D block.
It's going to be this.
We got to hit the we got to hit the ad break, Black.
And you got to go.
Yes.
So.
So he's handed a golden nugget here, which you could extrapolate, which I put in the newsletter.
The next extrapolation, which I believe to be true, which is that if that if if what Blago says is true, and I believe it is, there could be communication going on between Biden's camp and Trump's camp.
And that accounts for the fact that Trump heard about the garbage comment supposedly first time on the plane, as we mentioned in the clip we played last show.
And then he gets off the plane and there's a garbage truck that he's going to get into.
He's got the garb.
They've already got that for him.
The vest, the garbage truck is outfitted with a giant Trump sign that's either painted on or.
No, it was a wrap.
But Tina.
OK, well, still into the studio and complain fit that truck.
It wasn't like some it was white.
It was everything about it was rigged.
It was too quick.
I don't know about you, but you try to get a bunch of a bunch of things accomplished at the same time with the press there and everything.
All the press was there and the same press that he had it is that is one of his meetups meetup.
And he.
Now, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
It was a scam.
I can't even get a guy to do the dishwasher within a week.
I'm with you.
I mean, yes.
There's a perfect example.
I'm with you.
This thing was all ready to go, like it was, it had to have been planned in advance.
There's no way you can do this this quickly.
And so I'm totally in agreement with Blagojevich, it's Biden is behind this.
He's trying to sabotage Kamala and the more talk of this race being closed, the more likely Biden's going to do something again before Tuesday.
Well, you know, a lot of people, when he had that MAGA hat and he put it on and he carried it up the steps of Air Force One, a lot of people said he's sending a message and maybe he was sending a message.
In the meantime, AP comes out with a report.
Wait, wait, actually, now that you mention that MAGA hat, when he put it on, after complaining, he puts that hat on.
That should have given us the clue that everything after that, it's like the moment.
Everything after that is OK.
This is bullcrap.
Headline White House altered record of Biden's garbage remarks, despite stenographer concerns from the Associated Press.
Listen to this.
Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on Tuesday and Tuesday evening video call.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American, end quote.
The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe.
Hello, Scott Adams, who are you working for?
Reading supporters, possessive rather than supporters, which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supported, who are supporting Trump for president.
Now, the change was made after the press office conferred with the president, according to an internal email from the head of the stenographer's office that was attained by the AP.
The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
OK, the supervisor in the email called the press office's handling of the matter, quote, a breach of protocol and spoliation, spoliation, what is what is this word?
S-P-O-L-I-A-T-I-O-N, spoliation?
I'd have to look at it.
S-P-O-L-I-A-T-I-O-N, it's probably spoliation, like spoiled, like you're like a like a rotten banana.
Spoliation of transcript integrity between the stenography and press offices.
If there is a difference in interpretation, the press office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently, the supervisor wrote, adding our stenography office transcript, at least to our distro, distro, which includes the National Archives, is now different than the version edited and released to the public by the press office staff.
This is a scandal.
Again, now that this was linked in the newsletter, this article, this story, the if we're going by the fact that this is all a scheme, the fact that this all came out like this, which I've never seen anything like this before, this had to be just to draw more attention.
Attention to it, yes.
To it.
Why else is the AP running this story?
The AP is not all of a sudden, oh, we're on the side of truth.
Oh, they're not.
They're not.
Oh, no, no.
Oh, now AP is the best overall.
Look at their reporting good stuff.
No, they're not.
Exactly.
Now, so this is so that this is this is fun.
I'm telling you, it's total fun.
In terms of media deconstruction and digging deeper into the stories, which is what we're supposed to do.
Yeah, we do.
We try.
We try.
This is a beauty.
It's a gem.
Not for the Water's Well.
It's over his head.
The Water's Well is over his head.
Allow us to go to MSNBC the weekend.
And by the way, since, you know, Waters and that whole Fox operation, which is suspect.
Yeah.
They can't jump all over this.
And this wasn't because I watched the after he went on, he was Blago was also on Gutfeld, but he never brought this little little element on.
Oh, was he told not to, you think?
I don't know.
He was on Gutfeld before he went on Waters.
We went on Waters.
It could have been carried over to Gutfeld that the notion.
But it wasn't.
So I'm just, you know, I don't think Fox is too happy with this now because it's against their the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale.
MSNBC, the weekend.
Thank you.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Thank you for the recognition of network.
MSNBC, the weekend.
They know what's going to happen.
This is this is so there's kind of two narratives that I'm catching.
One is that the Democrats are afraid the Republicans are going to cheat, which is kind of an interesting little subtext.
It's subtle, but it's in there.
And without doubt, we have the the expected.
Well, Trump just does what Trump does.
Let's talk about what we can expect just in the next few days.
I want you to look at two different things side by side.
So first, you have the Harris campaign saying that they fully expect Trump to declare victory before the votes are counted.
They're prepared for that.
And then I want you to listen to what Steve Bannon is using to sort of whip up his folks.
This is from the war room.
Whip them.
Whip them good.
They are signaling you right now what they're going to do every day with you.
See, oh, we're going to delay.
We can't count the vote for seven days.
We're going to take mail in ballots five days later.
Let's take down the grid every day after November.
The evening of November 5th is going to be Stalingrad.
Stalingrad.
Remarkalizes in court and they're going to do this to slow it down if they can't if they can't take it away from Trump, if they can't nullify it right there, they can't nullify it right there.
They want to at least delegitimize his victory.
So what we have actually heard from Democrats, from Mark Elias himself, is it will take time to count these votes properly.
And there's some expectation management around the fact that we may not go to bed.
You and I are never going to we're not going to sleep another three weeks on Tuesday night.
And instead, they are trying to act as though there is a plot on the Democratic side to delegitimize this election.
Yeah, that's that's the old trick.
Oh, he's setting everybody up, setting them up, setting them up, get everybody all ready, all ready.
I have to make a comment here.
So they have this all of a sudden.
I don't know where this comes from, but it's going to take weeks and weeks.
The these statisticians and analysts that have been working on these elections forever do exit surveys and exit polling, and they do all the stuff that's necessary to get, you know, one percent of the vote is in.
We declared for so somebody one percent is in.
And we declare they use statistical analysis to declare the winner far in advance of the final vote.
Why is that going to change all of a sudden?
The media selects our presidents.
That's that's exactly how it went.
Oh, Arizona, within 30 minutes.
Arizona is in for Arizona on Fox News.
I have not forgotten.
I know you get it.
That's taking my reputation on it.
That's what they said, that's what they said, staking my reputation.
I remember it now, but we need to keep going here, CNN.
This is the Burnett woman with Amy Klobuchar.
The Harris campaign said it does fully expect that Trump will declare that he has won on Tuesday, regardless of whether he wins or loses.
And I know that this has actually been a big topic in your own Senate race against the former professional basketball player Royce White.
He once tweeted out a photo, actually, Senator, of him with the words Trump won written on his head during a game.
And you and he had a debate just the other day.
Here's what he said.
Did Donald Trump lose Minnesota in 2020?
It would appear so.
Yeah, it would appear so.
But I can't be sure.
And I don't think that that's dangerous to say.
I know you disagree on whether it's dangerous to say.
Can I can I ask you, though?
Now, what is she going to ask?
How do you think Trump and his way?
Let me guess.
OK, I'm going to guess what she's going to ask.
Well, you know, the Democrats like people like Stacey Abrams still think she's governor of Georgia.
To this day, she doesn't admit that she lost that election.
And Hillary was always moaning about it.
Not my president is illegitimate president and all the rest.
So how does that jive with what you're talking about?
That's what she's going to ask.
What about is a man?
How do you think Trump and his supporters will accept a loss?
Wrong, John.
I mean, or do you think Trump will just never accept it?
And do you think that violence is something that you just legitimately going to happen here or not?
By the way, I'm seeing clips of Minnesota and the Muslim community.
And who is who else is there?
The Ilan Omar people, where are they from?
Yes.
Sudanese or Sudanese.
Yeah, they're all they're all saying, oh, we're voting for Trump.
We're in Boston because Trump will stop the war in the Middle East.
Yes.
They finally got a clue about that.
Back to Klobuchar.
There have been a lot of changes to our laws, including the electoral count act that I worked on with Democrats and Republicans as chair of the rules committee that we have made that is going to make it very clear that you can't mess around with the electoral ballots and you can't use leverage with one member of Congress to object to the result.
That does make a difference.
We also have made it very clear.
We just as we put out a report on the rules.
So when Hillary lost that Maxine Waters and every other Democrat who was just a radical came up and protested the election in front of Congress and they eliminated that.
Is that what she's telling us?
No, you need more than one.
You need more than one.
They had more than one.
Yeah.
At the time, they had more than one, but they've changed it now.
They've changed those those rules now in Congress.
So you need you can't have just one.
You need more than one.
So it's irrelevant.
There'll always be more than one.
It's just this is showboating.
We also have made it very clear.
We just as we put out a report from the Rules Committee on the Democrats that, you know, there are differences on election night and counting Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, for instance, do not start counting their ballots for their citizens until that day of the election.
Michigan has made it a little easier.
Like many other states, they're at least opening the ballots for jurisdictions over 5,000.
So they will be able to count things quicker.
Do I wish Wisconsin and Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania?
I'm going to Pittsburgh tomorrow to help out on my mind.
Do I wish they did things like they do in Minnesota?
Maybe.
But the point is, states have the right to make their own election laws.
And so that's why we know we often see the results come in later in some of these states.
And he tries to mine that for saying there's something wrong with our system.
Well, our system is wrong.
There's a lot wrong with our system.
Now I need to go to the professionals, because as we all know, Trump is a fascist and he's literally Hitler.
And Deutsche Welle, they have that that kind of odd looking woman in D.C. She's a D.C. correspondent with a short, spiky hair.
And she has a with a weird accent, very nice German accent.
Yes.
Very nice.
I'm sorry I said that.
Chairman, you said it.
Yeah, we're up one.
You're only two trailing me by two now.
I should catch up.
Here's the lead in.
Is Donald Trump a fascist?
He is.
That's just that's a leading question.
Well, that's not are you still beating your wife?
Yes or no.
Yes or no.
That's not the question.
He's just leading into the package.
Is Donald Trump a fascist?
His former chief of staff says so.
And he says that Trump was envious of the power that Adolf Hitler had.
And this was reason enough for D.W.'s Washington bureau chief, Enos Paul, to speak with historian Timothy Ryback, the author of Takeover, Hitler's Final Rise to Power.
Enos and her brother.
So Enos is talking to the author of this book about Hitler's final rise to power, which I can I have not read the book.
I'm just going to presume it's about Trump.
And this guy, he's so off the wall.
They edited in in like a minute.
They edited, I counted at least eight edits.
But he will start by explaining why he is a fascist, because, you know, there's a parallel with elections and a certain age.
Timothy Ryback, thank you so much for taking time to speak with D.W. I'm happy to be here.
There's a huge debate here in the United States whether it is correct to call Donald Trump or compare Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler.
What do you say to that?
I think there are fascistic postures, but I don't know if I would go as far to identify someone specifically as a fascist.
The single most, to my mind, similar identifier is an absolute blindness to any kind of defeat, anything that doesn't fit into into your worldview.
Adolf Hitler was astonishing.
He went from one catastrophe to another, from one defeat to another.
He ran in the presidential election of 1932.
He lost by six million votes.
And you know what he did?
He claimed election fraud and he took him.
He went to court to have the election results overturned.
Aha.
Aha.
It's the Hitler playbook.
Proof positive.
But I always thought it was the Putin playbook, but it's the Hitler playbook.
And it gets better.
What else do you see in him with a fascist tendency, tendency?
Trump did say he would be dictator for one day on day one.
And he identifies that as a modality for governance and rule, which we've known for millennia.
The authoritarian rules, rulers and Hitler, Hitler definitely embrace that.
And I think Trump's embrace of that authoritarian rule, the vengeance, all of that is the most unsettling part of it.
But I think this inherent view that democratic processes are not the best way to run a country.
That's why we're a representative and constitutional republic.
We're not a democracy.
We're not a democracy.
I don't know why they keep insisting on this is certainly unquestionably a key fascistic trait.
Hitler himself.
So just saying, hey, oh, here we go.
So just by saying we're not a democracy is a fascistic trait is certainly unquestionably a key unquestionably fascistic trait.
Hitler himself declared that he was going.
He vowed to destroy democracy through democratic process.
He had to appear in court as a witness in another trial in September 1930.
And Hitler basically said this to the judge, that he was out to destroy democracy through democratic process.
The judge said so.
But through constitutional processes, Hitler gave one word answer.
Jawohl, jawohl, jawohl, I'm going to do it, jawohl.
And what they're all overlooking, that's crazy, what everyone is overlooking is the way our system works is a representative voting process.
It is the electoral college, besides the media, of course, it is the electoral college who decides who their state declares the winner.
Except for two states where they can split it the other way around.
Did I say it wrong?
Yeah, well, you said the electoral college determines what the states do, what the state's vote is, what the state's vote is.
No, no.
The states vote and send their electoral representatives to the electoral college.
What I mean is on behalf of the state, they are represented.
Well, that's better.
OK, yes.
Thank you for correcting me.
I well, it was I accept your reproof word.
Yes, I accept it because people forget about this, except for the Democrats who keep wanting to get rid of it for obvious reason.
Yeah.
Hello.
Hello.
I say it again.
Oh, they definitely want to get rid of it because it's because it works for their purposes.
It works.
So this next because it works to keep creeps out.
So this next report, which happens to be from TRT, Turkish radio television, made me favorite.
Yes, I like it a lot.
Made me think that we may see something else that no one is really talking about because we still have independent candidates.
Now, as you know, Jill Stein, she ruined it for Hillary.
It's patently not true.
And now we still have RFK Jr. on several ballots.
Listen to this report.
Oh, by the way, he's on the California ballot.
I think I may be mistaken, but I think I saw him on the Texas ballot, too.
First, they didn't want him on any ballots.
And then once you got to keep him on.
So he wants to be on it or not.
He's a spoiler.
All over southeast Wisconsin, you'll see yard signs for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, except in this neighborhood where they're pulling for the Green Party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein.
We will vote against genocide, not for genocide.
Stein is considered the most pro-Palestinian presidential candidates and increasingly drawing in younger Wisconsinites, especially Muslim and minority voters.
The Democratic Party tried and failed to get Stein kicked off Wisconsin's ballot because it said she wouldn't meet the state's presidential election requirements.
Meantime, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. tried to get himself kicked off Wisconsin's ballot and failed.
Now that he suspended his own independent campaign for president and endorsed Trump, Kennedy doesn't want his name on the ballot to siphon votes away from Trump.
The campaigns always worry about that, especially here in close Wisconsin.
You often see the third party candidates getting more than the margin between the top two.
So in principle, they could have swung the election.
In fact, that's what happened in 2016.
Jill Stein won more votes in Wisconsin than Trump's margin of victory over Hillary Clinton.
So everyone just assumed that Stein cost Clinton the state's election.
If the Republicans are worried about Kennedy or the Democrats worried about Stein, they're not showing it.
You think you're confident that that won't be an issue?
We've been sending out a very strong message that a third party vote is a vote for Donald Trump.
And people know what's at risk in this election.
So here's my thing.
Risk.
Here's my thinking.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
If you are if you're an elector, so you've got the your member of your state's electoral.
Was it board or they call it board or panel?
There's a panel.
Yes.
You're you're on the slate.
You're on the slate of electors.
And you see and you see this Trump and Harris.
And it's yeah, maybe it's kind of even maybe.
And you see a whole bunch of RFK Jr. votes.
Would you not then be able to make a case within your slate to say, well, clearly, because he's part of the campaign, the people are saying we want this platform.
We want these people to be governing.
And therefore, even even even if Trump was at a loss against Harris in a state, but then there's enough RFK Jr. votes, I think that that would be beneficial to the decision that a slate of electors would make.
I don't think it's a bad thing now that I now that I consider it because they think it's a bad thing.
So there must be some rationale because they don't want the electoral college.
We want one vote, one person, one person, one vote so we can win all the time.
Now we go to NPR, who in their infinite wisdom have decided, you know, you if you do a podcast, you got to have video.
If you don't have video with your podcast, it's no good.
This is what it refers specifically to, to the old Apple device, the iPod.
This is but which was an audio device.
There was no video on an iPod.
It actually has always worked with with later versions of the iPod, but that's not the point.
The podcast industrial complex.
When when advertising went away, really declined massively for dynamically inserted ads, it all really happened after Apple.
Interestingly enough, they released iOS 16 and with iOS 16, their podcast app had different behavior.
And if you subscribe to a podcast, it didn't download older episodes.
If it's a daily podcast, it would withhold episodes if you weren't listening to it.
But let's say on the you hadn't listened Monday through Thursday on Friday.
If you clicked on on that episode, it would then auto download the four before and they did away with that.
And that dropped the ad mark, the downloads, which is oh, that's interesting.
By 30 to some say 35, maybe even 40 percent.
Well, wasn't that also combined with the with what some group that came along that did that did advertising counting or something?
No doubt.
Wasn't there some?
No, there's always you've always had the the IAB, the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
That had nothing to do with you telling me is the Apple mechanism that really was responsible for the fall off.
Since you ask, the IAB certifies log files of hosting companies, then they certify that these are factual downloads, their downloads from individuals and not from from, you know, click farm somewhere in Asia.
Right.
But so they of course, it's the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
They they work on behalf of the companies that have media who want to sell them so they could say, look, these are legit.
These are coming from the even though everybody in the industry knew that there was auto downloading going on.
So when Apple turned that off, they had to keep their same metric and say, well, yeah, there you go.
It's less downloads that that's when NPR ran into trouble.
That's when NPR started firing people.
All of this started to fall apart and in their infinite wisdom, the advertising agencies, they all said, well, that's because, you know, podcasts are moving towards video, which really meant you know, that's bullcrap.
I'm telling you, I I do this for a living.
Half what I studied, this show for a living, and now all of a sudden I discover this.
I'm sorry.
I do this show for a living.
My mission in life is to keep podcasting free and open.
And that's why there's podcast index.
So let me write that down.
OK, continue.
So.
The.
Advertising agencies all still wanted to get that that podcast money, keep that going.
So they said, oh, no, no, it's all moving towards video.
Why did they say that?
Because video is predominantly done on places like YouTube.
That would be number one.
Why do they like it?
Because YouTube has actual viewer data.
They can see when an ad ran, if somebody actually watched Rumble has the same thing.
So they wanted to move them into closed, gated systems where you can get that what they call first party data to prove.
Oh, it acts.
It absolutely.
By the way, there's also a lot of extra opportunity to game and rig the system because everyone knows how you can rig stuff with with YouTube and you can get.
Yeah, it is very doable.
It goes right back to that.
Coney, 2012, a hundred million overnight.
Yeah, more than more than Joe Rogan and Trump, even though there's arguably a lot more people on YouTube.
So the whole thing is bullcrap.
So there's this continuous move.
And I'm we do a board meeting on Fridays.
That's really what I'm talking about.
We discuss these things.
Dave Jones and I.
And there's a couple of people who are continuously.
Well, don't you think the industry is moving towards a video?
No, it's not moving towards video.
That's what that's what the advertising business wants.
The podcast industrial complex.
So you get NPR, who is in dire straits that I mean, we heard Ira Glass saying, oh, it's this American lifeboat.
This is the latest.
Not to interrupt your train of thought, but have you heard the latest idea scam slash scam of NPR?
I have a clip.
Oh, play that.
Let's I love this kind of interrupt.
You're going to get a kick out of this one.
OK, seriously, NPR bundle.
OK, so does this sound like you?
You love NPR's podcasts.
You wish you could get more of all your favorite shows.
And you want to support NPR's mission to create a more informed public.
If all that sounds appealing, then it is time to sign up for the NPR plus bundle.
Oh, yeah.
Plus, you have to have the NPR.
You got to have the plus.
We need a no agenda plus.
I was thinking the same thing with no agenda plus.
Bundle plus bundle.
Yes, this is what they're doing is they're doing subscriptions, which is OK.
You know, I'm sure you can convert X number of your listeners to subscriptions.
But then you either keep it all behind the paywall and you don't have an opportunity to a easily get new people unless you put out sub premium content, because, of course, people are paying for the premium, the good stuff in your plus bundle or or what?
You know, there is there is no other way.
And also you become less relevant in the world because there's just not that many people that are hearing it.
So they're moving towards nonsense like that.
Long, long, long set up to the news lady.
I forget her name.
She'll she'll mention her name.
And so now her newscasts are on video.
And as a television producer emeritus.
She does not.
She has the perfect face for radio, if you know what I mean.
Oh, so are you telling OK, I didn't know this, but some NPR.
This happens with the newspaper women, too, and guys, all of a sudden they're news people.
They're in the newspaper business, which is even one step removed from being on audio where you talk.
Well, this is the actual news reader.
And they move them up to like a TV show.
And they're just terrible.
So she now she she's she's doing her actual news radio report in the booth with their cameras, with the camera, with the camera, with the cans on big, big Neumann.
Mike, big Neumann.
Mike, big Neumann, my showing you where your plus money went to that twelve hundred dollar microphone.
If there are more than that now.
And it's a close up.
This, you know, it's a close up.
It's like, why?
Why?
Got no TV makeup on for sure.
Good morning today.
That cost money.
Yeah, here we go.
And now back to the report.
Good morning.
Today is Friday, November 1st.
I'm Corva Coleman from NPR News.
And here are today's top stories.
The presidential candidates will campaign in more swing states today.
Yesterday, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump were in the Southwest.
Harris held a rally in Phoenix.
Later in the day, Trump met supporters in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale.
NPR's Ben Giles reports.
Trump spoke with former Fox primetime star Tucker Carlson.
In the final days of his campaign, Trump said he was confident he'd win on Tuesday and sowed the seeds for his supporters to doubt the results if he's defeated by Vice President Kamala Harris.
We're doing very well.
I think we're leading by a lot, a lot.
And if we can keep them, if we can keep that cheating down because there are a bunch of cheats, if we can keep that cheating down, we're going to have a tremendous victory.
I think Trump also echoed a conspiracy theory that Democrats may be allowing immigrants into the country to let them vote illegally.
Ben Giles, NPR News, Phoenix.
Former President Donald Trump often falsely claims that there is widespread cheating in elections.
There is no evidence of this, nor has Trump ever provided any.
False.
Hold on a second.
It is obviously pet peeve of mine.
How do you falsely claim you claim?
Well, not only that, she used the W word.
Which is important when it comes to the Electoral College and small counties, the W word, W word.
Ben Giles, NPR News, Phoenix.
Former President Donald Trump often falsely claims that there is widespread cheating in elections.
Widespread, widespread, you know, some districts, counties.
By the way, have you ever heard Trump say widespread cheating?
No, no, I've no I've never heard him.
You know, you have because he's never said widespread.
So how could he have falsely claimed this widespread cheating when he's never said that?
You know, there is a huge pile of trash on your radio dial.
It's known as NPR.
So now the people sending their money to NPR should rethink their priorities.
Now the best.
Oh, this was so beautiful, because you need to get Washington Post reporters on television.
WAPO, WAPO Live.
WAPO has a this is your your man, by the way.
Capehart, Capehart is the host of this.
He is so butthurt over this.
And well, you know.
Well, no, this is a great clip.
Well, there's a couple of things that are interesting.
First is so you have Hugh Hewitt, Hugh Hewitt.
He was never a Trump fan, by the way.
No, no.
And he makes this is about what happened in Georgia.
Let me see.
I think I have the.
You were Stacey Abrams is still governor.
Yes, the one.
So there's some.
Oh, they didn't want to.
You know, check the voting machine, whatever it is, some some something in Georgia.
Trump doesn't like it.
And then the associate editor of The Washington Post.
And so they're in little boxes.
She and Hewitt, I guess Hewitt works.
Does he work for The Washington Post?
He's a columnist, I believe.
He's actually a talk show host, a radio guy.
Right.
Yeah.
And so she starts talking about court cases and then Hewitt butts in and and then the following happens to me.
Or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is?
And I love Capehart Capehart.
He starts off Capehart ish.
But at the end, I mean, he he get when you're right.
He got butthurt.
He he all of a sudden becomes like a more than usual.
Like a flamboyant gay guy, which he probably is in his spare time.
Flamboyant gay guy.
But he really the he the whole cadence.
Everything comes in, which was fascinating to me.
Or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania by suing Bucks County for alleged irregularities?
And this is on top of his continual assertion that if he loses, it's because of cheating.
Yeah, that's what he's been laying the groundwork.
That's better than hello.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got it.
I got to practice it on.
Yeah.
You can get that down.
Yeah.
Version that if he loses, it's because of cheating.
Yeah, that's what he's been laying the groundwork for this.
Just not in the last week, but in the last umpty ump months.
No election.
John, the umpty ump.
I do the ump.
I do the umpty ump.
What is the ump month?
This is a newspaper.
This is a newspaper lady.
Yeah, she's an editor of The Washington Post.
I do the ump.
I do the umpty ump.
I do the ump for this.
Just not in the last week, but in the last umpty ump months.
No election.
I mean, it could that's worse than bajillion.
You know what I mean?
It's like you don't say umpty.
Who says umpty ump?
She does.
I've heard it before, but it was I was a kid.
I never heard umpty ump.
Umpty ump.
How old are you?
Umpty ump week.
But in the last umpty ump months, no election can be fair unless Donald and Donald Trump's mind, unless Donald Trump wins it.
And I think we are going to see him both rev up his supporters to contest elections outside of courtrooms and go to every courtroom he can in America where it's relevant to make whatever arguments he can, no matter how far fetched we saw.
John, I got it last time, but it didn't work out.
It's going to work.
It may not.
That may not have been this time.
And now I'll let you go here.
Well, I've just got to say we're news people, even though it's opinion section.
It's got to be reported.
Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home.
So that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee and it was successful.
The Supreme Court ruled that Glenn Youngkin was successful.
We are news people, even though we have opinions and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story.
So, yes, he's upset about Bucks County, but he was right.
And he won in court.
That's the story.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do, Capehart?
I'll let you keep going, Jonathan.
No, I'm just I don't appreciate being lectured about reporting when you many times you come here saying lots of things that are.
I won't come back, Jonathan.
But I'm done.
This is the most unfair election I've ever been a part of.
You guys are working.
That's fine.
I'm done.
And so he he raged quits, gets up and walks out.
And he was right.
But I don't know why he had to rage.
Totally right.
I don't know why I had to rage quit over it.
That was a little.
That was much.
But here comes the good part.
So, Ruth, you wrote a column this week ending with this line and actually, I think this is perfect.
I'm going to put it on the screen.
You wrote, you want to know the stakes of this election?
Not only democracy, but decency.
Talk more about that, Ruth.
She's OK.
I'm collecting myself.
Oh, Ruth froze.
What?
Ruth is frozen.
And it went downhill from there.
It's just what she came back on for a split second and froze again, and then they closed the show.
Yeah, yeah.
I have as anyway, it's it was pathetic.
I mean, and he would quit is the worst.
And the fact that he's a he is on PBS on the news hour on Fridays with with Brooks, the supposed conservative who is actually more of a Democrat than he is.
It's it's a pathetic situation with this guy.
Well, PBS is you want to talk about pathetic?
PBS did.
I mean, I don't know why they even try to do this anymore, but they had to really go against Trump.
Elitist voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
And they brought out trans activist.
I have the trans clips.
So I have the clips, too.
Do you have all of the I have it produced.
I have it produced as well.
But if if you'd like to.
If you'd like to do it, I'm you know, how about this is interesting.
I have eight clips.
You have eight clips.
I have.
Yeah, you do, including the intro.
Yes, you do.
No, you have nine.
No, you have you have eight.
We both have eight clips.
I I don't have a clips.
I have seven clips.
No, you have.
Oh, you do.
Then let me play my intro.
Do you have the intro clip?
I.
Yes, I do.
Well, then I think you should just do it because I well, I have them break.
I have break points.
I think you'll appreciate if I can just say this is why.
This morning, I hadn't received your clips and I emailed you and you saw I saw that late.
I said, I know, I know.
It was I looked at I looked, I said, ah, bullcrap.
I always send these clips.
And I went and looked at because I have a system that shows me that when the clips and all was said, I dropped the ball on this.
It's OK.
The excuse you use was valid.
You said it's due to climate change.
And I said, exactly.
It was climate change.
And but this is why it's important that I have because you just everyone knows how it works.
I have no idea.
You would have not done any of this.
I would have not done any of these clips.
Yeah, I agree that that's probably true that I blame myself.
So I think you should go for it.
But I have this pretty well organized.
But do you have the picture in the show notes of of this woman, man, whatever this thing is?
Aaron, well, no, this is the most pathetic presentation.
I agree with you.
This doesn't surprise me that you would have pulled the same clips.
I haven't broken down in a certain way because I have certain complaints to make.
OK, so let's start with the first one, which is PBS.
Spain is sending 10,000 more soldiers and police to the Valencia region in the aftermath of deadly floods there.
So far, more than two G ads, Lopez PBS.
Yep.
Yeah, it starts with that.
OK, must we go?
OK, I get it.
Shall I do it?
Shall I do my intro then?
Or you've got now it's the same.
It'll be the same.
Hundred bodies have been.
Yeah, I didn't put the Valencia stuff covered.
And the search goes on for more.
An unknown number of people are missing floodwaters that decimated the city this week have covered cars, buildings and move ahead.
And now you play your clip and it will go to mine.
Somehow something screwed up there.
Here we go.
If you've watched TV this month, especially sports like football or baseball, you've likely seen campaign ads supporting Donald Trump by attacking Kamala Harris over transgender issues.
Laura Barone Lopez looks at what's behind them.
Lopez, less than one percent of the US population identifies as transgender.
But this election year, Republicans have spent a considerable amount of money on ads demonizing transgender people.
From October 7th to the 20th, Trump's campaign and pro-Trump groups spent an estimated ninety five million dollars.
And more than 41 percent of those ads were anti-trans.
Kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners.
Surgery for prisoners, for prisoners.
Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.
No, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that.
Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our money.
Kamala even supports letting biological men compete against our girls in their sports.
Kamala is for they, them.
President Trump is for you.
All right.
There you go.
There's there's your intro.
Perfect intro.
It has one of my one of the flaws.
This is a flawed report because none of this is anti-trans.
No, at all.
It's it's anti using money for surgeries.
It's and it's pro women, children and all the rest.
Yeah, but they're going after the LGBTQ plus.
And the woman they bring on, I think this starts with clip to play by clip to.
And I think she's introduced.
Less than one percent of the U.S. population identifies as transgender.
Is that wrong?
We have we have different break points.
But yeah, play play from scratch.
But this election year, Republicans have spent a considerable amount of money on ads demonizing transgender people.
From October 7th to the 20th, Trump's campaign and pro-Trump groups spent an estimated ninety five million dollars.
And more than 41 percent of those ads were anti-trans.
All right.
Your next clip, the trans ads.
I stop it there, right?
Yeah.
Because where is the demonization of trans people?
We just said this a second ago, but I'm going to say it again.
This is not about demonizing or hating on trans people.
But that's what she says.
That's her claim.
Have you noticed that it's LGBTQ plus like a bundle?
Just wow, that's a good catch.
LGBTQ plus.
Yeah.
Paramount plus premium is premium.
Paramount plus.
That's what I'm calling it.
So should we skip three since that's the ads, probably?
Or do you need to play it?
Yeah, we can skip three.
Let's go to four.
OK.
Anti-trans rhetoric is a regular part of Donald Trump's speeches.
He regularly lies about kids going to school and receiving gender affirming surgeries before they return home.
But now in the final stretch, Republicans have been putting out increasing amount of ads that are anti-trans, making it essentially their closing argument.
Help us understand the scope and the rhetoric in these ads.
I have tracked around 100 million dollars in ads.
We see Donald Trump spending more money on these ads than on housing, immigration and the economy combined.
This is a major issue for him.
Meanwhile, you have groups like the Senate Leadership Fund dropping extreme amounts of money in Senate races in Ohio, in Michigan and Pennsylvania, and they're all focused on transgender people.
Yeah, that is it's I'm glad you bring this up because it's bullcrap.
It's not it's not focusing on transgender people.
You're carrying water for Putin.
It's just it's focusing on the transgender ethos, it's focusing on the on the pushing it into the public of kids going to school one minute and coming home trans.
It's just like that's this misinterpretation of what they're trying to do.
What they're trying to do, obviously, is to say, look, this is not healthy for the society.
And let's go with the next clip.
Unfortunately, we did it.
We missed the introduction of this woman who's the one that you were saying is so frightening.
And she is also came out.
I think it was when she's introduced.
She is ahead of some really big, big, big, big, big, big, big, research group looking into this.
I have I have her intro is very short.
Eighteen seconds.
Yeah, play it.
Aaron Reid is an advocate and independent journalist covering LGBTQ issues, and she tracks transgender legislation around the world.
Recently, Aaron announced her decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election.
Aaron, thank you so much for being here.
Thank you so much for having me on me for being here.
So she has green hair and green hair.
She is a transgender activist, researcher voting for Harris.
So we got no objectivity whatsoever with this reporting from PBS.
And that's the best they can do is bring on some some lackey who is just a promoter of the Harris campaign.
And that's what we're supposed to take this at face value as something valuable.
Have you have you seen this read person's tick tock channel?
No, I did.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, I would have been taking clips from it.
Yeah, yeah.
You would have.
Yeah, you would.
OK, here we go to clip five.
The top issues, according to most polls right now, is the economy, abortion, immigration.
So why do you think Trump and his allies are making this one of their main closing arguments?
It's important to note that some of the biggest benefactors of the Republican Party, some of the most influential organizations in the party or talking groups like the Alliance Spending Freedom, for instance, have made this their main issue.
If you're running a campaign in a place like Pennsylvania or Ohio or Michigan at any level and you want money in your campaign, targeting trans people is a really good way to do that.
But as for Trump, I think that there's something different at play here.
I think that this is a classic fear campaign.
We've just got polling today showing that Harris is catching up on the economy and on other issues that Republicans tend to pull well in.
And so the purpose of a fear campaign is to distract you from issues that you normally care about by making you so afraid of a group of people, of somebody like me, for instance, that you're willing to throw everything else away because you're scared.
Who are these ads targeting?
They run during major sporting events.
They were just on during the World Series.
Who is he trying to reach here?
The group of people that are watching these sporting events are young men.
Oh, OK.
OK, let's stop there.
There was a series of ESPN radio spots and some others.
They're just bemoaning the fact that it's not young men watching these these games.
The youth of America has given up on sports.
They play video games, you know, all this other stuff.
No, they don't their own games.
They play their own games on the on the you know, they play Madden football.
They don't go they don't watch football.
If you look at the stands, it's middle aged men.
And the people who watch football, I'm one of them.
I'm an old guy and I'm watching football.
You don't watch it.
No, and you're you're not that much younger.
But if you go younger than you, nobody's what?
No, no, they're they know that the demographic is failing on this.
So she's full of shit right there that this is to appeal to young all these young kids that are watching NFL football on TV.
Most people won't even watch TV.
I got Brennan and and Jay, they come over the house every so often.
I put this up on the TV and boom, they're on their phones watching short clips from whatever they don't know.
But this is bullcrap.
She's completely off the mark here.
It obviously did no research on any of this.
And she's just a bigot.
But let's continue with the average.
The average age is forty five.
Of the NFL football watcher.
Yes.
A different way.
Forty five is not a young man from a from a quick search.
So that's a take that.
Yeah.
You know, it falls right into place.
I was listening to this ESPN radio and there were guys are just bitching and moaning about how the schools don't have PE and they don't even play sports.
They don't do it in school.
Nobody promotes it.
They're all the kids are on their phones all the time and they're all getting fat and they don't do any.
There's those calisthenics even.
It's like, no, it's nonsense.
What she said.
It's either that or they're working out listening to Joe Rogan.
You know, it's it's I agree.
I think you're just superficially, from what I know, I would say you're correct.
It's not that it's not even 30 year olds.
Yeah, I just don't see it.
And you well, onward with six.
And I think in a lot of cases, the Republican Party is trying to tap into what they hope is some level of fear that they can draw up from that group of people.
If you look at most polling and anecdotally, really, young people tend to understand trans people better than anybody else.
Oh, they're not as afraid of us.
And I think that might be part of why this messaging campaign might be falling short.
These ads make pretty specific claims about surgery for transgender inmates and undocumented immigrants.
Let's take a listen.
Under liberal borders are Kamala Harris.
Illegal aliens are pouring into our country, including murderers, rapists and even terrorists.
Instead of paying for their crimes and receiving justice, Kamala will give criminal illegal aliens taxpayer funded transgender surgeries.
Walk us through the facts about what's actually happened with those populations.
What the ad is actually talking about is medical care in the United States.
No is a right by the Eighth Amendment.
You cannot deny medical care to prisoners.
And under the law, a law that was in place during the Trump administration.
If a doctor determines that an inmate needs medical care, then they get it.
So these ads are actually focused on two instances where a transgender person received gender affirming care in prison, a surgery.
And the amount of money spent on these particular cases is far less than the amount of advertising dollars that Trump is pouring into this issue.
Why about two to 100 times more money?
Easy does it.
It's almost over.
Hold on.
So these ads are actually focused on two instances where a transgender person received gender affirming care in prison, a surgery.
And the amount of money spent on these particular cases is far less than the amount of advertising dollars that Trump is pouring into this issue.
About two to 400 times more money is being used in political ads to make you afraid of two transgender inmates.
So afraid that you're not going to care about the economy anymore.
You're not going to care about abortion anymore.
This is the end of mainstream media, as we know it.
When you resort to this level, the ad is about illegal immigration.
And then they throw a little cherry on top, which is for obvious reasons.
Oh, that's an outrage.
She doesn't.
This Lopez, a woman who is the worst reporter on PBS.
Is she the newbie?
And she's so biased.
She the new one?
Yeah, she's the.
Yeah, she's the little Hispanic girl who needs hand makeup.
No, no, no.
Oh, no.
The hand makeup.
That's that you're talking about.
Welker.
Yes.
I'm confused.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyone.
I get lots.
I still get notes to this day saying I'm condemning me for pointing out the fact that if you're watching Kristen Welker do her meet the press or whatever it is, whatever show that one is, it's either face the nation or meet its meet the press.
If you look at her hands, they're the hands of an old black man that worked the fields.
Yes.
And it's like it's so distracting that you just can't.
You just once you see it, you go, oh, you just it just ruins your day.
And I get I still get condemnation for pointing that out.
And I just did it again.
So I get some more notes.
But no, this woman is just a bigoted Democrat lackey, and she doesn't push back on anything.
Anything is this crazy woman said, no, it's fine.
What else?
What else?
Tell me more.
And so we go to I think we're on the final clip.
Aaron, when you take a step back, what are the stakes in this election for transgender Americans?
It's been an especially difficult year.
Did this thing say especially?
I heard yes, especially in this election for transgender Americans.
It's been an especially difficult year and last two or three years for trans people.
Just two days ago in Odessa, Texas, they passed a $10,000 bounty on trans people found in the bathroom.
I've been tracking.
What?
Wait a minute.
A bounty on what?
You're in Texas.
You should know all about this bounty.
I'm a bounty hunter.
I need to go get me some trans in the bathroom.
Just two days ago in Odessa, Texas, they passed a $10,000 bounty on trans people found in the bathroom.
I've been tracking anti LGBTQ legislation for years now.
And it's not just the ads.
The legislatures themselves are spending more time on this issue than anything else.
This has been priority number one.
And the trans people that live in these states, they constantly have to hear their humanity debated in public.
They constantly have to worry about things that I think a lot of Americans take for granted, things like going to the bathroom, getting an updated driver's license, playing a school sport with your friends.
But trans people right now are under a relentless assault by the Republican Party.
These bills are passing in primarily Republican states.
Even if Trump doesn't win and we get a Kamala Harris presidency, we have to contend with a nation that has been primed to hate people like me.
Aaron Rehm, thank you for your time.
Thank you so much.
It's not about Haiti.
It's always about, oh, me, me, me.
Nobody cares about you.
So I care about their kids, perhaps being groomed to be trans, or they care about people, taxpayer money being used, or even though it's only been used a couple of times, doesn't matter.
Or about prisoners saying, I'm a girl.
I'm going to go to the female prison, all that sort of mismatched stuff.
That's what they care about.
They don't care about you, lady.
Hey, are we missing the most annoying report?
PBS should really shut down.
Are we missing something here?
Are we missing that this report is intended to drive people to voting for Trump?
Well, going back to our basic meta theory, it's so dumb.
It's so below any journalism.
How dumb is it?
It's below any journalistic standard.
But if I go to MSN.com, which was the first hit on the bounty.
I get this.
The first hit.
City puts $10,000 bounty of trans people's on trans.
It says of.
Oh, that's interesting that, oh, oh, wait, it's from LGBTQ Nation.
All right, MSN.
The city of Odessa, Texas, a place that $10,000 bounty on any transgender individual who uses bathrooms that align with their gender identity, according to independent journalist Aaron Reid.
The bounty would weigh.
Well, what do you have to go to?
It's either in the public record or it isn't.
Well, I tried to find it.
Oh, this sounds like bull crap.
I think it's in this next graph that it gets explained.
The bounty itself reads that any person besides local
and state government officials may sue a trans person
using the restroom that aligns with their gender with payments,
including, quote, injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant
from violating the provisions of this ordinance,
nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury
or harm from the defendant's conduct, statutory damages
in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance
and court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
That's a far cry from a bounty.
A bounty means a far cry from a bounty.
It's not a bounty at all.
In addition, there are criminal penalties for individuals who use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, which is another way of saying for if you're in the wrong bathroom.
The provision states that, quote, a person violating the provisions of this ordinance ordinance for Odessa's ordinance like the camping bans ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.
And anyone who refuses to use bathroom aligned with what the city perceives as their biological sex, even after being asked to leave by a building owner, then may be guilty of may be guilty of misdemeanor trespassing.
This is, as we would say, a storm in a teacup.
It's totally to coin a phrase.
It's a trumped up accusation of Odessa bull crap.
It's what you want to say.
Well, bull crap to make it simple, be another way of looking at it.
So I think that this is intended for more people to vote for Trump.
It's a possibility that they're definitely throwing the wrong stuff at the wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's a problem is Lopez had to be a sucker then because she's definitely not going to be part of any scheme to get votes toward Trump.
There's no way she's probably all in on this ideology.
You know what?
I mean, by the way, ordinance like that would never be passed in any in any city that has a major league sports team.
If anyone has ever been, you know, women flock to the men's bathrooms.
At major league events, because they got to go.
Because they got to go in the women's lines can be like a mile long.
And the guys are in and out.
We're in and out.
And so the ladies are always in the men's bathroom in the stalls, of course.
And I'm going to I'm going to tell you right now that the election results will be on a regular course.
The grid will not go down.
And no matter who wins, it's going to be a big wet fart.
There's not going to be any rioting.
None of that's going to happen.
If Trump wins, there will be rioting.
OK, the market down in the book.
I have the two.
Do we have the two sides of this?
We had it last time with the pink pussy hat that was immediately asked for impeachment.
That was not a riot.
That's not a riot.
Oh, that was just a bunch of.
Hold on a second.
Let me read the phrase then.
Massive protests, mostly peaceful, but mostly peaceful protests.
It's going to be a wet fart.
Trump wins wet fart.
Everyone cries.
People leave for Canada.
You said wet fart three times so far.
Yeah.
So I mean, it seems weird.
You're having trouble.
Yeah.
Boom.
And he's up to 16.
Oh, so close.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to catch up.
By the way, I got a note from Rob, our constitutional lawyer.
Spoliation means the destruction of evidence.
It's a little more serious, this call that the stenographer's office made.
They say it's a destruction of evidence.
Oh, interesting.
That's the kind of producers we have.
Yeah, we have unbelievable.
Now, as you mentioned, I got to read a note from a producer.
I get my glasses.
There's one of one of our producers complaining about our our coverage, not in a bad way.
John, your recent CIA vocal fry lady.
That's the Kennedy woman, Amaryllis.
Yes.
Said some disappointing things about how she classified her correspondence, her defaults of classification.
Things as never releasable is against the rules and just plain lazy.
As a DOD employee, I have to take annual training on how to classify information, including the penalties for doing so incorrectly.
We police ourselves and each other on classifying correctly, and we have security sections and we who we report to if there are issues.
There are lazy and complacent people and maybe the entire organization out there.
What the hell, CIA?
But we're not all like that.
It's defending the bureaucratic state.
I told him that, you know, I worked in administrative state, and it seems to me very logical that they would do this.
Allow me to read a boots on the ground report or better yet, subs in the water.
Our producer works at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory as a mechanical engineer.
The Naval Nuclear Laboratory develops advanced naval nuclear propulsion technology for the safety and reliability of our Navy submarine and aircraft carrier fleets.
It's a cradle to grave operation where the design, support, manufacture, installation, refueling and long term storage of nuclear reactors takes place.
Beautiful subs.
We also train the sailors.
We also train the sailors who operate our reactors.
Say sailor.
The laboratory is run as a government contract for the Department of Energy.
So currently I'm employed by the Fluor Marine Propulsion, who was awarded the latest contract.
Every email that I send, I have to use the drop down menu that was spoken about for email classification.
However, our system does not have the ability to have a default setting.
So for every email, I must select the classification of the subject, the email body and the attachments independently.
We are instructed that we must identify the information correctly.
Otherwise, it is called a spill.
We are subject to escalating disciplinary process for not following the guidelines up to termination for intentional and repeated misclassifications.
Unlike others that we all know, Hillary, I do my best to follow the rules and secure classified information appropriately and obviously want to keep my job because unlike Hillary, I know that I would be reprimanded.
However, recently, the number of options in the pull down menu increased dramatically.
No lie.
There are now 25 options.
We get training on the different classifications, but the rules can be quite vague for some of the intermediate classifications.
Unless you are routinely working with that level or type of information, I feel myself and other colleagues are often unsure of which classification to use.
Most of the information I work with is of the highest level of DOE classification, confidential restricted data, CRD.
And I know what words make something CRD.
So if I'm sending an email where I'm unsure of the information classification, I don't have time to consult a derivative classifier to confirm.
Wow, that's a cool job.
I don't want to risk misclassifying or underclassifying.
So I just add the CRD word to avoid reprimand.
Want to have lunch?
Word.
However, if an email is clearly unclassified like, hey, let's meet up after work, it is easy to select unclassified from the dropdown.
So it sounds like the classification of emails in our government sucks balls.
It's all dumb.
Does that sound right?
Why would there be 25 classifications?
Because it's government.
It's dumb.
But meanwhile, I can't even get you to use encrypted email.
Why?
What difference does it make to protect our freedom?
It's not protecting anything.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in, especially say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C.
DeMora.
Good morning to you, Mr. Assistant Secretary, Mr. Susie Botek, I've been there, some of the one of the dames and knights out there.
Choke out.
All right.
All right.
2486.
We're above the norm, above the norm.
2486 is good.
It's good to have the trolls in the troll room.
Thank you very much.
Cotton gin for that.
It's actually kind of the norm.
Now it's either 2400 or it's not.
This is close enough to this.
OK, if you run it up to twenty five hundred, that's all right.
If I did twenty five hundred be like, it's good.
That's not that good.
I'm happy anyone shows up.
Well, it's a miracle.
It seems to me we had the big Albany meet up and they had a few people.
It wasn't a big turnout.
It was.
But we got to see Violet again.
I was going to say, did they bring any other children besides Violet?
Yes, there was a there was a couple that came down from Reading.
Nice guy.
The whitest teeth I've ever seen in my life.
You haven't seen it.
And it's been his lovely wife.
And they had a little as I think she's like a six or nine, nine month old.
And she was cute.
And yes, we had two kids.
You're a regular.
Also, Theodore showed up.
So Theo, Theo, Theo is Mimi in town.
She was supposed to be at the meet up.
I should be here in a few hours because I happen to know it's her birthday coming up tomorrow.
Tomorrow is her birthday.
And by the way, since you got the birthday list in front of you, he already sent me an email and the email said the email.
The email said, could you please put me on the birthday list?
I told John, but he'll probably forget.
I didn't forget.
Crazy Steve should be on the list.
And you know what?
I'm glad you brought that up.
I'm not that forgetful.
No, you're not.
You're not.
You're a great guy.
A great guy.
Yeah, that's it.
You are.
You're a great.
What can I say?
You're a great guy.
I got it.
There's no problem.
You're a great guy.
It's fantastic.
We're doing a great show.
We're doing a great service for humanity.
It's a public service.
It is.
It's a plus service.
Just yes.
No agenda plus.
Yeah.
So we don't have no agenda plus.
No.
Instead, we have producers.
It's all no agenda plus.
That's right.
Our producers are all over the world like these trolls.
Trollroom.io. They listen live.
And, you know, there's been several articles about the Joe Rogan Trump interview.
Here's an example.
The Mises.
I think you pronounce it Mises.
I used to say Mises, but I got corrected.
The Mises, the Mises Institute headline, the establishment media is unaware of its growing irrelevance.
And they talk about, you know, how big tech has just gone back to censoring, because if you search for that episode on YouTube, it wouldn't show up in the search results.
Gee, I wonder why.
So they reluctantly relented.
And, you know, Joe was posting direct links to it everywhere.
And as we just heard from PBS, I mean, who who cares about that other than you're trying to send a message and that message is, by the way, it's trans abuse.
As far as I'm concerned, you're abused.
What is trans abuse?
PBS abuse that that Aaron Reid person for for whatever reason, this dumb.
It's all dumb.
There are people are doing the podcast.
It's really gone.
It's amazing when it started.
It was a the McNeil-Lehr report.
These two old pros came in from the outside and they said, we're going to do it right.
Instead of these half hour lousy news shows, these networks do.
We're going to do one.
We're going to do it right.
They talk PBS into doing an hour of news because they could talk a little more than just the normal soundbites.
Yeah.
And it was you know, it was it was good for a while.
And then it didn't McNeil quit.
And they're, you know, kind of held on there.
And then he had to go.
And next thing you know, the thing deteriorates into crap.
Yeah.
So no, instead of that, we we're just a podcast.
We're a podcast plus operation here where everything is plus.
And you can you can join those.
By the way, you can't join in the troll room on PBS.
And you should have seen some of the things people were saying when we were playing those clips.
Imagine that.
Imagine having a big screen scrolling by while interviewing someone.
No, no, no.
That only happens here.
And it's quite a revolutionary format we have.
So we built apps around it where you get alerted when the stream goes live.
There are many shows who have live.
They go live to tape the way I think it always should be.
That was a problem in early podcasting.
We didn't have any gear.
It was hard for, you know, mere mortals to set up a mix minus with your Skype.
So everyone was using music mixer boards from Behringer.
That's right.
There was Skype was what the main thing was.
Yeah.
But you had to set up a mix minus.
So you needed a mixer with two buses.
And the minute you talk about that, people, the eyes roll up on their head and they went, let's just record it on each end and we'll put it together in post.
And that's when it all went.
Actually, it was a website.
It's called the double and do it for you.
So the double ender is what it was called.
They would you'd send them the two feeds and then the website was like, you know, was one of those.
Yeah, we'll do this for you.
And it was like, wait a minute, how do we make money doing this?
I think that's it.
And if you recall, why are we doing this?
If you recall, because of processor clock speeds and encoding bit rates, most people would find that if they did an hour long conversation, they recorded it on each end, they'd sync it up at the beginning.
But it would be out of sync within no time codes.
Correct.
There's no, no, it was as far as I know that most audio, I mean, with video, it's always been an issue, but you get a system that uses time codes and you put the time in as you record it, the time codes are on there and you have no problem syncing because you have a time code.
Just so you understand, it has nothing to do with the time code.
It has it has to do with the clock speed of the computers and the bit rate encoding of the MP3 file.
It will actually be fractions of a second faster or slower without without it being audible to the human ear.
But over time, it would get out of sync.
Well, whatever the case was, it sucked.
Exactly.
So the modern podcast app, which you can find at podcastapps.com, they alert you when we go live and when we publish the show, not everyone can listen live, of course, when we publish the show within 90 seconds, you get an alert.
Why would you wait on any other legacy app?
No reason to.
Now, back to the plus part of the No Agenda show.
The plus is not behind some streaming paywall.
You don't have to, you know, steal someone's, you know, can I borrow your password to listen to No Agenda?
You don't have to use VPNs and all kinds of.
No, it's there for you.
If the show is of any value to you, you send it back.
Time, talent, treasure.
We love our producers.
We have producers everywhere.
You just heard two who use classified email systems sending us unclassified information.
How cool is that?
I know how classified it is.
Well, it's about classification, so thus it is classified.
I don't know if it included any of the words.
I wonder the words, whatever those are.
The words, it's the.
I wish they'd just send us a list of the words.
That would be awesome.
So, yeah, I'd like to have a list of the words that whatever when those words show up, that becomes classified, just a word or maybe one or two.
How does that even work?
I don't know.
Hopefully we'll find out.
We'll find out.
So one way that people give us value, it's it's three, three categories.
Time, talent, treasure, time and talent go together.
Often people organizing meetups, people making websites, running infrastructure, keeping it the ball rolling in many ways, giving us boots on the ground report, hitting people in the mouth, getting people to listen, propagating the formula.
And then we have the artists, which now these days, a lot of prompt jockeys.
But we still have the classic artists who do the work and and to prove it.
And I'm pretty sure Nico Seim did this non-AI.
It doesn't seem like this doesn't look AI or I should say computer generated.
It would be I don't know how I can even do this.
If he has the abilities to to.
Generate this image from AI, then he's really good.
This is for Episode 1708, which we titled Gaytheist, much to the delight of the Seattle metal band Gaytheist.
Yeah, we didn't know, but now we know the Gaytheist.
I have not.
It's funny.
I have not heard their musical stylings yet, but I'm sure it's fantastic.
I'm sure it's a yeah.
Nico Seim brought us a whoopee cushion, which was perfect.
It had the the jack-o-lantern on it.
Had no agenda.
Corinne Dvorak.
It was a whoopee cushion, which by itself was was just great.
I mean, this is a a long lost art of tossing the whoopee cushion.
We discussed that.
If you didn't hear it, then you should go back and listen to 1708.
And Nico Seim, he won the competition.
Now, if we go back and take a look, this was obviously a Halloween episode.
It was on Halloween.
So people weighed in with a lot of different ideas.
There was art up the butt.
It was over a page full.
It was a page.
It was more than a page.
Yeah, it was.
It was a lot of art and it was hard.
And I think there was at least 10 pieces that we could have picked.
Yes.
And at the meetup, I had a number of people ask me, you better explain this whoopee cushion.
What do you mean?
And I mean, there were there was cheesecake.
There were garbage trucks with actually another Nico Seim garbage trucks with jack-o'-lanterns.
There were lots of maggots, garbage cans, which was OK.
I mean, we like we are a little traditionalist in that way.
It's like Christmas.
We want a Christmas image.
Easter.
We want an Easter image of Halloween.
You know, use a Halloween image.
I kind of I remember thinking that I liked Scaramanga's spook kid with the with the soup pail, which you hated like I hate that image.
I despise that kid.
And the soup is dumb.
I think that's exactly the kid.
The kid doesn't look realistic.
It looks like some sort of I don't know what.
And the soup gag is funny, kind of.
But, you know, it was, you know, no, I didn't like that piece at all.
What's interesting is I like to vote so hard with the thing on fire.
But we talked about that piece doing it.
The flames are no good.
These are no good.
Have you noticed that Nico Sime has uploaded more?
And when it's a I, he puts in parentheses a I.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
So we'll be that way.
He can he can bamboozle us at some point in the future.
He may have already done it.
The spike strip by Brad Traynor.
Right.
I like that piece.
But it wasn't Halloween.
No, it was not Halloween.
And it was also a bit much.
Yeah.
Was I think that was those are the kind of the ones who discussed was anything else we looked at?
No.
Panda stuff.
Yeah, by the way, Jill Biden was in the panda suit.
Did you know that's what they say?
But I did you ever see her take the top the head off to show that it was actually Jill Biden or just say it was Jill Biden.
And Jill Biden was so irked by everything going on that she was actually at home.
So what are you going to come to this thing?
You put somebody in a panda suit and say it's me.
The so a lot.
OK, so the combination, whether it was Jill or not, is irrelevant.
But the panda, along with our current president, biting children and putting their feet in his mouth.
You know, there's there's a thing called Panda Eyes, which was it was kind of fashion for a bit and fashion photography with, you know, black eyes.
Oh, yeah.
Along.
It was kind of in the anorexia days when that was fashionable.
Or the anorexic look, I should say.
Panda Eyes is is kind of universally associated with child abuse, you know, black eyes and particularly creepy child abuse.
So the whole thing, the whole thing was creepy.
What does a panda have to do with Halloween anyway?
Why does everybody just accept that?
I found the whole thing to be completely screwy.
Now, a panda with biting babies.
Oh, I can see that association.
I don't understand it.
Get these people out.
Get them out.
Get rid of them.
Release the Diddy Stein tapes.
We want to see who's on.
We're never going to see the Diddy list or the or the Epstein list or anybody's list until if Trump doesn't get in.
Because, you know, that's, you know, the way I saw it, Cardi B.
I have a clip.
We play Cardi B.
Wow.
And the bonus clip whips out the Cardi B clip.
I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth.
She's passionate.
She's compassionate.
She shows empathy.
And most of all, she is not delusional.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kamala recognized that this country is at risk, that the economy needs to get stronger, that the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.
Damn, it's even high for me.
I believe her when she says under her buying eggs and milk won't break the bank because she's going to pass a ban on price dodging on groceries.
Oh, man.
She told me that in my face.
So she better not lie to me in my face.
There you go.
That'll come back.
Better not lie to me face.
OK, great.
Celebrity.
She's on the P.
Diddy party goer, obviously, because she had done a video floating around the net.
She's never in her entire life would ever endorse a candidate.
Yeah.
But once once it was P.
Diddy tapes and what's the what's the what's the term for copious, copious documentation?
Which supposedly did he has?
Well, the I don't know, I, I, I, you know, I'm very suspicious of all these out of the blue and some of these screwy people that you'd.
Why are they even what?
Why don't you just stay out of the Chloe Moritz came out in support of Kamala for some unknown reason.
Then she came out as gay Chloe Moritz.
I don't know who that is.
Yeah.
If you saw her picture, you've seen her a million times.
She's all over the place.
She's a heartthrob of the of the online nerd contingent.
I'm sorry, you mean umpty umptimes the umpty umpty time.
She's a heartthrob and now she's gay.
And there she goes.
There goes her career.
I don't get what she was thinking, but OK, whatever.
I'd like to thank our executive.
We'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode one thousand seven hundred and nine.
You go to no agenda donations dot com.
You can support the show with any amount you want.
That's what the plus stands for.
Do whatever you want.
We recommend people do sustaining donations, which is any amount, any frequency set on automatic.
So we'll have a base to work on.
We appreciate any amount that anybody sends.
Lots of people do five dollars a month and they become knights and and beyond even.
But like Hollywood, we recognize that it's important to thank the people who are the associate executive producers and executive producers and the way Hollywood works is that's money you put into the project.
And so we like to thank our associate executive producers.
Two hundred dollars and above and we'll read your note.
Executive producers.
Three hundred dollars and above.
And we'll also read your note.
But we we read every we thank everybody over fifty dollars.
And we start with Daniel DeGroff, who is in Broomfield, Colorado, and he comes in with what he wants to be a new number.
Seven, seven, seven, which he thinks should be the new three thirty three.
And with the I don't understand this with the fees.
No.
Yes.
I know.
I don't think the fees are that much.
Well, then how is it eight seventeen ninety?
No idea.
I don't know how I got the eight seventeen ninety.
I.T.M. trying to make seven, seven, seven, the new three, three, three.
So if you do that and you're and you're supporting us with the fees as well, which is which is much appreciated, then let us know, because I think seven, seven, seven, which is the angel number is an angel number.
So it's a nice number.
Thanks for another.
And give us another one.
I don't seven, seven, seven, seven.
So it's only seven.
No, there's all kinds of angel numbers and there's websites for that.
I'll look into it.
It's a it's a heavenly number.
Seven, seven, seven.
Why?
Seven is an important number in Scripture.
Why?
Because God said so.
OK, well, as long as somebody said backing you up, there you go.
Big man's backing me up.
Thanks for everything you do, says Daniel.
I'm currently known as Sir Fusion off, but I'd like to change my name to Sir Null Pointer to avoid any potential future legal issues.
OK, Daniel DeGroff, Broomfield, Colorado, you're good to go.
We will be changing your title later.
Thank you very much.
Tom, I was a sneezing, sneezing, sneezing, sneezing, I think sneezing, sneezing, he's in broad.
What is it?
Brotobin, Brotobin, New York.
Where's that upstate?
Well, probably it was not downstate.
Five hundred dollars.
He's not he's not wants to be known as Commodore Sneezic.
No jingles, no karma, just that simple.
And by the way, since we had no Commodores, we got a couple left because as grace period Commodores were cutting the link goes out of business on on Election Day.
So you can't do it after that.
Done.
Commodore ships over.
Kenneth Keel, I believe, Kehl, El Sobrante, California, three thirty three dot thirty three, our favorite number to John Adam.
It's been ages since I've been to a tiki lounge.
I had to go back to the back of the closet to find an island themed shirt.
I thoroughly enjoyed the meetup at Trader Vic's.
It was a great it was great chopping it up with John and the producers chopping it up.
Go to a meetup near you.
Connection is protection.
No jingles, no karma.
Ken from El Sobrante, a meetup donation.
Thank you, Ken.
Yeah, El Sobrante.
Good.
Now, are these handed to you with notes at the meetup?
These gray things?
They're all they were put into the spreadsheet.
Nice.
And now we got another meetup provided that this is the wife.
Of Jonathan and the mother of Violet.
Ah, do you have a picture of Violet?
No.
Well, maybe she should send this one.
I didn't I didn't I didn't have my camera.
I wasn't taking pictures at the meetup, but Violet's five now.
So she's not a trap or sucker baby anymore.
And is she does she do any of the no agenda stuff like shut up, slave?
Any of that stuff?
Not yet.
We're working on Violet.
She's actually a parent.
I'm told a very pleasant little girl.
She's really pretty.
This is a baroness, Sarah Rupert, husband, Jonathan and the original sucker baby, Violet.
And they all showed up.
And of course, it was Sarah that complained about us doing these in bars all the time.
She couldn't bring the baby.
As you or the or actually a girl now, as you very well know, I have been a producer since the first episode.
Kind of I don't know how she managed to stick with it.
And I started my monthly subscription with a three, three, three ticket to the mothership.
Yeah, that.
Yeah.
Now I have hit my husband.
And oh, yeah, she got when she got married.
Her husband was a skeptic, didn't think much of the show.
Oh, I kind of remember.
She's it's one of those reversals where the wife got the husband into the show.
Yes.
Nice guy.
He was there.
We think it's time to increase the donation to six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six a month.
Wow.
We hope this will buy us enough seats to get our whole family on the mothership if needed.
Yes.
He was a legacy NPR sustainable donor.
Oh, my.
Due to their demise over the past 10 years, he took John's advice and decided to give you guys the cash.
Please see the enclosed or please see the enclosed three, three, three, three hundred thirty three dollars as his official de-douching.
So give him a de-douching.
He needs a de-douching.
Oh, where's my de-doucher?
You've been de-douched.
Special thanks to you, John and others who moved this meet up to a family friendly location so Violet could attend.
This is truly appreciated to four more years.
And then she's got signatures of everybody.
And Violet has I saw her signatures, Violet.
And it's curiously Jonathan's signature looks like some some crazed maniac.
So, yes, for Baroness Sarah and Jonathan and Violet and others who have a boarding a mothership boarding pass, you can pick them up at will call.
They will be there for you.
Who will come home?
Yes.
Yeah.
Dame Beth, Tucson, Arizona, row of ducks, associate executive producer.
And she says, hi, all boys were on Tuesday's ballot.
Who's on Tuesday's ballot?
Is she on the ballot?
She might be on the ballot in Tucson, Arizona.
It doesn't surprise me.
I humbly request some election day karma with a Fletcher for more years.
Thank you for your courage.
Dame Beth, Baroness of Baja, Arizona, if she's on the ballot, then you might want to consider voting for her.
For more.
Yeah, you've got.
Farmer.
Eli, the coffee guy in Bensonville, shows up at two and eleven dollars and three cents.
We have a very short list today, by the way.
It is rather short.
I don't know why.
I guess the last show sucked as the farmers market season comes to it's coming to a wrap.
But one of my markets was located next to an early voting location.
In the six hours of the market, the police had to intervene three times on poll goers getting into altercations with fellow voters.
That's interesting.
In the words, I guess a bunch of tick tock clips that get people like that on there.
In the words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along?
I say vote with your dollars and elect to drink good coffee.
There you go.
This is a gigawatt coffee roasters dot com.
And use the code ITM for 20 percent off your order.
Stay caffeinated, says Eli, the coffee guy.
Yes.
And I'll jump to Lawrence Wolfe in Oakland, California.
Two hundred dollars.
It looks like he delivered and delivered this with a note.
And I have it here in front of me.
It's the crackpot and buzzkill care of the best podcasting universe.
Oh, it came to PO Box.
ITM, gentlemen, enclosed.
Please find a token of gratitude for all you do.
Thank you for your courage.
Adios, mofos.
Sir Lawrence of Dystopia.
He is Kilo Oscar six.
Echo, Juliet Echo.
Seventy three is Kilo five.
I don't think he was at the meetup.
No, he's not.
Kilo five, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie beaconing every 15 minutes on VAR AC.
20 meters.
Hey, if a couple can come down from from Redding, which is up there in northern California, up, up, up, up.
You can come in from Oakland.
Linda Patkin, meanwhile, she's in Lakewood, Colorado.
She hasn't showed up at a meetup.
She's got two hundred dollars into the pot and she requests requests.
Jobs, karma, and she says for a faster, more effective job search, visit Image Makers Inc.
Dotcom.
That's Image Makers Inc.
with a K K.
That's your go to for executive resumes and job search needs and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs and writer of resumes.
Has she changed her copy?
It feels like that.
Yes.
Well, no, she she varies every time.
Yes, because the last show was for a resume that gets results.
And now she's mostly always says gets results.
Now she's saying for a faster and more effective job search.
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
And of course, she wants her jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Yeah.
Karma.
And we thank all of these executive and associate executive producers very much for supporting our our plus program here.
It's umpty ump just for you.
And of course, we'll be thanking people.
Fifty dollars and above in our second segment.
And remember, those sustaining donations support the show.
Go to go.
Oh, I shouldn't mention.
These credits are real.
They're actual show business credits.
You can use them anywhere.
They're good forever.
And you can even put it on IMDB dot com if you don't have an account there because you've been a producer in Hollywood.
You can you can open one up.
It'll be you can next.
You can be next to George Clooney if your name starts with a C and an L.
That's no agenda donations dot com.
Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers.
Episode 1709.
Our formula is this.
We go out.
We hit people in the mouth.
Squirrel day before you go to your tick tock lips, because I know I see you, I see your tick tock lips and I'm excited for you.
We are.
At the tail end of.
COP 16, COP 16.
Yeah, it's funny, that's not getting any play at all.
No, it's getting some play on the international.
I have a good little wrap up here because, gee, I think I think money will solve the problem is usually what comes out of these.
And French 24 gave us a nice wrap up, even though it's not over yet.
A nice wrap up report for nearly two weeks.
Ninety six countries with an A.I. voice must mention there he is again for nearly two weeks.
Ninety six countries at the United Nations COP 16 Biodiversity Conference have been assessing progress on national plans and financing to halt the decimation of species as the gathering draws to a close.
The Brazilian environment minister remains optimistic that negotiations will be fruitful.
The expectation is that we can leave here with decisions that are commensurate with the crisis that biodiversity is facing worldwide.
Nonetheless, there are still many differences of opinion between developing countries and richer nations, especially around financing.
Developing nations have called for the creation of a new, more easily accessible fund.
This measure has been so far rejected by the European Union, with the French minister saying that the creation of yet another fund would not solve the matter of how countries access such funds.
The UN secretary general warned that money alone is not enough.
What you need is a political priority at the government's level, a political priority at multilateral institutions level and a clear commitment of the private sector to be involved.
Parties hope to reach an agreement at the final plenary session on Friday evening.
Regardless, participants have agreed on the choice of host for the next UN biodiversity conference in 2026.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the UN's.
I thought there was a climate change meetup.
It is a climate change meetup.
But thank you.
He said specifically as a biodiversity meetup.
They mentioned this three times in the beginning of the report.
And thank you for noticing that.
This program, this podcast.
Has been so ahead of this nonsense.
This is from COP 16.
That we have a jingle that is over a decade old.
We knew this would play.
We knew biodiversity would play just as we knew in 2012 that the vaccines were the future of pharma.
You got to stick with this program, people.
It's biodiversity.
It's unbelievable that it doesn't.
Well, you can't just say keep saying we need money for climate change.
No, we need money for biodiversity.
Umpity ump amounts.
How do you what is what what is that specifically if somebody wants umpty ump a bunch of money?
What is good?
What do you do with it?
This money to make by you put a tree in the ground or do you plant some grass?
How do you know you organize a grizzly bear back in Yellowstone?
I mean, what do you specifically do you do?
You organize more meetups.
Yeah.
More trips.
Where were they going?
I forgot.
Let me see.
Where are they going next year?
Huh?
In the report locations and on their time off, they'd often go for a run as well.
Oh, sorry, that's the wrong one.
Well, I want to know where were they going?
And so it's reached such unfathomable levels.
Oh, man, I'm getting everything wrong now.
Here's the here it is.
I want to hear where they go in the new meetup conference in 2026.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the U.N.'s COP 29 climate change conference starting November 10th.
The next meetups in November.
In 2026.
No.
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, that's what you said.
Have agreed on the choice of host for the next U.N. biodiversity conference in 2026.
You're right.
The vote was won by Armenia over Azerbaijan, which is preparing to host the U.N.'s COP 29 climate change conference.
No.
Starting November 10th.
No, no, no, no, no.
Armenia is doing the 2026 biodiversity conference.
today and the November, I think that's as you're by John is doing the November event cop.
Let's see.
Cop.
November.
Let's see.
It's very confusing.
The AI voice is not giving me good information.
By the way, these are big operations.
These companies, Deutsche Welle, France 24.
Can't you just grab one of the secretaries or somebody to do the voice?
What do you have to use the AI voice for?
You got people there that could use the credit and they'd want to do it.
They do it for, you know, just what their regular salary is.
I'd be glad to jump on a mic.
So I understand now Armenia is doing the 2026 biodiversity and in seven days, one hour, 43 minutes and 12 seconds, because I'm looking at the UN climate change website, Azerbaijan is hosting the next meetup.
So that's coming up.
I thought this was a meetup that you're being discussed as we speak.
This is this is COP 16.
That's taking place right now in Colombia.
It has to be.
They just dropped a date.
It's not been five days.
It's going to be in a number of years.
No, it says UN climate change conference, Baku, November 2024, 11th of November to 22nd of November, 2024.
That's what they do.
What do you think the money's for?
Are they doing them?
Do what?
One back to back to back?
Yes.
Climate.
You have the climate change action summit.
You've got the high level segment summit.
This is a waste of money.
No, that's what it's all about.
It's not wasting any money for these people.
Give us some more money.
We're going to fix climate change.
Give us some more money so we can do it on the meetup.
And then they get the Guterres that we have a we needed to make a political priority.
Shut up.
All of you.
UN.
Oh, man.
I hope I pray that if Trump is president, just defund the UN.
Just stop it.
Let them all pay for their own parties.
Yeah, we paid the bulk of the UN.
All these meetups.
It's annoying.
All right.
Get me.
Make me feel better with some tick tock clips.
Well, I guess I got the pro and con clip.
Seriously.
Let's start with.
Let me get into it.
Let me get into it.
All right.
Thank you.
So this is a guy, a black guy with a hat that I always thought was interesting, says is a big red MAGA hat, but it says Adam on it.
I want to make sure I got this correct.
You hate white men unless they're gay.
You love black people unless they're conservative.
You're for illegal immigration as long as they don't come into your home.

Comment if I missed anything.
Did you smash that like button?
Smash the like button.
That brings me to this clip, which is the funny clip, the bonus clip, which says Dunny instead of funny.
But play this.
This is something that I thought was amusing.
And this is classic.
The Democrats have no sense of humor clip.
I put a lawn sign in my front yard, and I don't think I should be subjected to these fraudulent mailers.
When this 50 year old Shrewsbury woman put up a Harris wall sign in front of her home, she just wanted to show her support.
She never imagined she would be subjected to a campaign dirty trick.
It really creeped me out.
She was dismayed when the mail arrived this week and she received this postcard.
It purports to be from the Harris campaign thanking her for putting up a sign and alerting her a family from Nicaragua would be moving into her home.
That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset.
It's absolutely a scare tactic.
It was hilarious.
I love that.
I love that one.
Scare tactic.
Yeah.
Some joker.
It's a great idea.
I thought it was genius.
It's like those men on the street, like, oh, you know, would you take an immigrant into your home?
And then they say, yes, of course I would.
And they say, well, here's Muhammad.
Oh, no, no, I don't actually have room right now.
Let's go to the tick tock clip.
This is a dude for Harris literally crying.
I've never felt this much hope before for America, this proud before of America.
And I don't think people realize how historic this moment truly is and where this speech will go down in history.
We'll go down with Kennedy.
It will go down with Martin Luther King.
And we really don't understand at this moment how historic times we live in because we're kind of stuck in it.
We just want to get through this election.
But God are just a few days from the election.
It feels so good to feel so hopeful.
It's genius because it's clear one campaign is trying to bring people together and the other campaign is trying to tear people apart.
In moments in history where we have just felt fear and frustration and depression to feel hope, to feel like we're about to turn the page, to feel like she spoke to every voter out there and said, like, I really think she changed some hearts and minds today.
In these last few years have been nothing but like darkness and dark period of history.
And for her to get this opportunity for Biden to drop out, her to get this opportunity, she had to do everything perfect.
She couldn't make any mistakes, especially as a woman of color.
And she crushed the debate.
She's crushed her, crushed his speech now.
