1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,829
Oh my god, what a shocker! Adam Couric, John C.

2
00:00:03,849 --> 00:00:07,517
Dvorak. It's Sunday, June 7th, 2026. This is your award-winning

3
00:00:07,557 --> 00:00:12,909
Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1875. This is no agenda.

4
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:19,253
We... Photorama! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of

5
00:00:19,294 --> 00:00:23,602
the Texas Hill Country. Agent number six. Good morning everybody,

6
00:00:23,763 --> 00:00:27,214
I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we've

7
00:00:27,274 --> 00:00:32,411
discovered the Antichrist. It's the iPhone. I'm John C. Dvorak.

8
00:00:33,536 --> 00:00:38,767
In the morning. Well, a couple observations right off the

9
00:00:38,828 --> 00:00:43,534
top here. One. You're coming to us from Northern Silicon

10
00:00:43,575 --> 00:00:47,362
Valley. Which means you're back home. Yeah, I'm at the

11
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:51,695
house. Excellent. They're still banging away back there, working on

12
00:00:51,755 --> 00:00:57,533
that place. What do you mean, banging? What happened? They're

13
00:00:59,177 --> 00:01:02,012
redoing the bed. There's a bunch of work being done

14
00:01:02,073 --> 00:01:04,867
on the house. Yeah. I'm making sure they don't wreck

15
00:01:04,927 --> 00:01:10,200
the place. That's why I'm here. Is they Mimi? Does

16
00:01:10,219 --> 00:01:11,884
she have a crew? Does she have a crew of

17
00:01:11,924 --> 00:01:19,194
Mexicans? Illegal immigrants? It varies. So what do they do?

18
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:22,400
Well, first of all... Welcome back. Good to have you

19
00:01:22,441 --> 00:01:27,209
back home. That's good news. Second of all, Are we

20
00:01:27,370 --> 00:01:33,189
close to being able to see your studio? Well, you're

21
00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:36,745
talking about the challenge for people who go to the

22
00:01:36,825 --> 00:01:41,832
new Instagram No Agenda account, which is... no agenda podcast

23
00:01:42,114 --> 00:01:47,043
yeah the official no agenda account on instagram And once

24
00:01:47,084 --> 00:01:49,088
it gets to 5,000, we take a picture of the

25
00:01:49,129 --> 00:01:54,289
studio. How close are we? I'm sorry, I don't keep

26
00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:59,420
up with the Insta. I think we're around 3. 3,000?

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,885
yeah wow that that went pretty fast shouldn't we get

28
00:02:01,924 --> 00:02:04,450
should we be like uh trending somewhere if we get

29
00:02:04,489 --> 00:02:08,778
that many followers in one go i know we're not

30
00:02:08,799 --> 00:02:12,346
oh those guys those guys are uh no no not

31
00:02:12,385 --> 00:02:15,050
those guys just don't don't no no no no you

32
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:18,277
don't you know it's a fake anyway so why would

33
00:02:18,298 --> 00:02:21,197
put them on it it's all fake. And what's this

34
00:02:21,217 --> 00:02:24,093
with the Antichrist iPhone? I mean, is this a news?

35
00:02:24,114 --> 00:02:27,936
I'm determined that the iPhone is the Antichrist. Why not?

36
00:02:28,836 --> 00:02:31,286
Well, it's possible. I mean, is it only... Oh, I

37
00:02:31,306 --> 00:02:35,442
see. I'm floating around. I'm seeing... I'm telling you, like,

38
00:02:35,783 --> 00:02:38,915
yesterday, we went to the store, and there's, like, people

39
00:02:38,955 --> 00:02:41,318
getting out of their car there. looking at the phone

40
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:46,008
as they get out, stumble out, walking into the store,

41
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:48,635
always eyes on the phone. I don't know how people

42
00:02:48,675 --> 00:02:51,802
can navigate. I mean, you remember the early days of

43
00:02:51,862 --> 00:02:56,513
these phones, people were banging into poles and walking over

44
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:59,992
curbs and falling into manholes. Yeah, sure. They stopped doing

45
00:03:00,032 --> 00:03:03,070
that. There's this new radar or some sense that phone

46
00:03:03,091 --> 00:03:05,605
has kept them from banging into stuff. You know what?

47
00:03:06,109 --> 00:03:09,415
Go ahead. Walking around with the phone and the same

48
00:03:09,475 --> 00:03:13,752
person comes out still looking at the phone. What is

49
00:03:13,953 --> 00:03:18,854
on the phone? I don't think it's the Antichrist, I

50
00:03:18,895 --> 00:03:22,663
think it's It's a national security issue. We are a

51
00:03:22,683 --> 00:03:25,539
vulnerable. You don't think the anti-crisis is a national security

52
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:31,086
issue? Okay, fair point. Fair point. It's just these people,

53
00:03:31,105 --> 00:03:33,957
I mean, we are very vulnerable as a country when

54
00:03:33,997 --> 00:03:38,456
we have robots, you know, NPCs just roaming around looking

55
00:03:38,477 --> 00:03:43,215
at their phones. That is a national security issue. And

56
00:03:43,235 --> 00:03:47,420
you spotted a cup number years ago. Oh, 10 years

57
00:03:47,501 --> 00:03:49,764
ago at least, maybe even longer. You spotted the fact

58
00:03:49,805 --> 00:03:51,687
that people are walking around with their phone in their

59
00:03:51,768 --> 00:03:54,671
hand. Yeah. You know, women mostly, but now men too,

60
00:03:55,092 --> 00:03:59,139
men and women, walking around with the phone in their

61
00:03:59,158 --> 00:04:06,998
hand. All the time. Yeah. You know, we forget that

62
00:04:07,019 --> 00:04:09,556
this is happening. We kind of got used to it.

63
00:04:11,383 --> 00:04:15,829
No, it's so normal now. I mean, on Mondays, I

64
00:04:15,848 --> 00:04:19,819
go play chess with this guy. And so it means...

65
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:23,088
I park on Main Street and I get out. Is

66
00:04:23,108 --> 00:04:25,776
this in the park? No, I park on Main Street.

67
00:04:25,796 --> 00:04:27,802
No, I know. You park the car, yeah, but I'm

68
00:04:27,842 --> 00:04:29,948
saying, is it in the park outside? No, no. Is

69
00:04:29,968 --> 00:04:33,813
it a black guy, an old black guy? No. It's

70
00:04:33,935 --> 00:04:37,702
inside a Java ranch. You know, your favorite, Java Ranch.

71
00:04:38,125 --> 00:04:41,037
It's with Willie. That's why I play with Willie. And

72
00:04:41,057 --> 00:04:44,560
he was not a black guy. And, uh, but just

73
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:46,091
walk. And so I have to, I have to cross

74
00:04:46,212 --> 00:04:50,624
two streets. Two traffic lights. And all you see is

75
00:04:50,685 --> 00:04:54,172
people walking with their phones, looking at their phones. It's

76
00:04:54,273 --> 00:04:56,904
everywhere. It's rampant. And we've kind of gotten used to

77
00:04:56,924 --> 00:04:59,355
it. It's a national security issue. And yes, if it

78
00:04:59,416 --> 00:05:01,537
is the anti- Is it only the iPhone or is

79
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,001
Android also the antichrist? Well, obviously it's the smartphone in

80
00:05:07,082 --> 00:05:12,448
general. Yeah. Because I see people looking at... They're all...

81
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:14,959
operate the same people are looking at them they're carrying

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,192
around it's the same you know no it's all the

83
00:05:18,212 --> 00:05:21,096
phones all the smartphones And what are we going to

84
00:05:21,156 --> 00:05:24,123
do with it? Everything but a flip phone. And I'm

85
00:05:24,163 --> 00:05:27,069
not even so sure about that. Yeah. Well, you know,

86
00:05:27,089 --> 00:05:28,592
I had to give up on the flip phone because

87
00:05:28,633 --> 00:05:31,398
they made it impossible to communicate. If you don't have

88
00:05:31,418 --> 00:05:35,487
RCS, then you can't communicate with the Antichrist people on

89
00:05:35,527 --> 00:05:42,462
the iPhone. Yeah, but it's not people communicating with each

90
00:05:42,543 --> 00:05:46,715
other so much, it's they're just... Well, no, I understand

91
00:05:46,735 --> 00:05:49,742
what you're saying. But if you have a flip phone,

92
00:05:50,004 --> 00:05:52,519
it used to be doable when everything was still kind

93
00:05:52,579 --> 00:05:59,220
of over. SMS or you know It's like you had.

94
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,622
MMS. Remember this protocol? Yeah, MMS. So someone will send

95
00:06:03,682 --> 00:06:06,135
out a video to me and it comes in like...

96
00:06:08,955 --> 00:06:11,245
You know, like a little postage stamp because you can't

97
00:06:11,325 --> 00:06:13,936
see that because everyone's doing it over IP. All the

98
00:06:14,137 --> 00:06:17,994
iPhones and the iPhones got connected to the Android with

99
00:06:18,175 --> 00:06:22,039
RCS. And, you know, it was really Apple that screwed

100
00:06:22,059 --> 00:06:26,319
all this up. They had their own little protocol. And

101
00:06:26,359 --> 00:06:28,268
then, you know, you couldn't participate. You can't be in

102
00:06:28,328 --> 00:06:32,005
a text group anymore. And if it actually worked, then

103
00:06:32,045 --> 00:06:34,568
people yell at you. Who's the green bubble? Who's the

104
00:06:34,608 --> 00:06:40,254
green bubble? Who's ruining my text group? Yeah, that's me

105
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:45,854
now. Anyway, so. How's that voting going in California? Oh,

106
00:06:45,874 --> 00:06:49,817
I do have a clip. Oh, please. What's your clip?

107
00:06:49,837 --> 00:06:52,724
Yeah, we got Stella, one of our podcast friends. Stella,

108
00:06:52,744 --> 00:06:56,593
the Stella Show. Yes. Talks about the Cal voting situation.

109
00:06:56,874 --> 00:07:00,397
U.S. Attorney Bill Assele says his office... has multiple election

110
00:07:00,418 --> 00:07:04,547
fraud investigations now underway in coordination with the FBI as

111
00:07:04,647 --> 00:07:08,135
California officials are still counting the ballots from this week's

112
00:07:08,235 --> 00:07:10,841
primary. It could go on for weeks and weeks and

113
00:07:10,881 --> 00:07:12,926
weeks. What is your reaction to this? Because I know

114
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:15,552
you're following it very closely. I mean, this is your

115
00:07:15,592 --> 00:07:18,458
lane. This is what you do. It is about time

116
00:07:18,499 --> 00:07:22,473
that. all eyes are on California's election process. And we're

117
00:07:22,493 --> 00:07:26,901
looking at 37 days to get counted for our mail-in

118
00:07:26,981 --> 00:07:29,665
ballots. And it's just about time. And I'm really appreciative

119
00:07:30,066 --> 00:07:32,249
of Bill Asseili. You know, he was a former assembly

120
00:07:32,289 --> 00:07:35,715
member and he has always done everything he could to

121
00:07:35,775 --> 00:07:39,221
possibly bring some course correction to our state. It's incredible.

122
00:07:39,261 --> 00:07:41,506
You know, I ran for state assembly. And so I

123
00:07:41,546 --> 00:07:44,612
looked at our voter rolls. People were registered to vote

124
00:07:44,892 --> 00:07:48,499
in empty parking lots and old houses and buildings. It's

125
00:07:48,559 --> 00:07:50,984
about time that we start cleaning this mess up because

126
00:07:51,044 --> 00:07:53,469
we deserve to be represented. And, you know, California is

127
00:07:53,489 --> 00:07:55,733
such a beautiful state, but we've got a problem. So

128
00:07:55,773 --> 00:07:58,679
there's a fighting chance right now. Voting infrastructure that... that

129
00:07:58,699 --> 00:08:01,906
the Democrats and Gavin has created here allows for this.

130
00:08:02,026 --> 00:08:05,673
We have every single Californian and even Californians who have

131
00:08:05,733 --> 00:08:09,100
left the state are getting mail-in ballots. You can register

132
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:13,068
same day and get a provisional ballot. It is incredible

133
00:08:13,168 --> 00:08:16,695
that there's no voter ID. We're seeing helicopters bringing in

134
00:08:16,835 --> 00:08:20,490
ballots. Why is this even happening? Gavin actually had the

135
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:24,036
nerve to go on to his public platform and pass

136
00:08:24,216 --> 00:08:28,564
SB 73 saying that the signatures on mail-in ballots no

137
00:08:28,644 --> 00:08:32,330
longer have to be verified. So, you know, what exactly

138
00:08:32,370 --> 00:08:35,946
does that do? That enables cheaters to happen. So they're

139
00:08:35,966 --> 00:08:39,312
really bringing in ballots with helicopters? yeah there was a

140
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:42,977
bunch of choppers coming in that's great dropping off dropping

141
00:08:43,017 --> 00:08:46,122
off ballots by the truckload talk about an airdrop well

142
00:08:46,182 --> 00:08:49,346
since you played stella let me play state of daniel

143
00:08:49,446 --> 00:08:51,930
this uh there's one of our podcast friends last night

144
00:08:51,970 --> 00:08:53,933
there was a drop of about who's not gay 24

145
00:08:53,953 --> 00:08:57,398
000 ballots and spencer did not get a single one

146
00:08:57,438 --> 00:08:59,100
let's take a look at the results over here. So

147
00:08:59,140 --> 00:09:01,225
last night, you can see before the drop, it was

148
00:09:01,245 --> 00:09:07,236
308, 878,000. After the drop, 333,712,000. And as you can

149
00:09:07,276 --> 00:09:10,443
see, Spencer Pratt did not gain a single vote. He

150
00:09:10,663 --> 00:09:15,633
still had, before and after the drop, 86,323. Meanwhile, all

151
00:09:15,673 --> 00:09:18,719
of the other contenders here, all of the other candidates...

152
00:09:18,699 --> 00:09:21,745
did gain vote totals. What are the odds of that?

153
00:09:21,825 --> 00:09:24,951
That, quite frankly, is impossible. By the way, when that

154
00:09:24,971 --> 00:09:28,758
24,000 vote drop came in, there were also drops that

155
00:09:28,818 --> 00:09:33,026
included the votes for governor. What are the odds here

156
00:09:33,066 --> 00:09:36,493
that even Steve Hilton would be gaining votes overnight, but

157
00:09:36,633 --> 00:09:40,240
none for Spencer Pratt? Are people not voting down? No.

158
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,046
Are they just voting for governor and they're not voting

159
00:09:43,126 --> 00:09:45,691
for L.A.' 's mayoral race? I get that there are

160
00:09:45,731 --> 00:09:47,795
many people voting for governor who would not be able

161
00:09:47,835 --> 00:09:51,182
to vote in this mayoral race. Like, obviously, if you

162
00:09:51,222 --> 00:09:54,128
live in the northernmost part of California, you would not

163
00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:56,793
be eligible to vote for L.A.' 's mayor. But you're

164
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:59,318
telling me that not a single person who cast a

165
00:09:59,358 --> 00:10:02,825
ballot in those. 24,000 votes in LA. Not a single

166
00:10:02,945 --> 00:10:05,651
one. Voted for mayor, but they voted for governor. All

167
00:10:05,691 --> 00:10:09,138
of this just does not make sense. That's almost like

168
00:10:09,819 --> 00:10:12,384
the election where you saw the counts go down live

169
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:14,569
on TV. Yeah, the counts reversed. That was great. That

170
00:10:14,609 --> 00:10:17,575
was fantastic. Some of the negative votes for Trump during

171
00:10:17,595 --> 00:10:21,703
that Biden election. Let's move. From our podcast crew to

172
00:10:21,823 --> 00:10:25,671
Ms. Now. President Trump is sticking with the playbook, election

173
00:10:25,711 --> 00:10:29,438
denial. The president hopped on Truth Social, as he does

174
00:10:29,599 --> 00:10:31,402
on most nights, to claim without a doubt. I like

175
00:10:31,442 --> 00:10:34,388
the election denial. Then said Democrats were, quote, trying to

176
00:10:34,448 --> 00:10:38,236
steal the primaries for California governor and L.A. mayor. He

177
00:10:38,256 --> 00:10:42,388
offered, surprise, surprise, no. facts to support no facts no

178
00:10:42,449 --> 00:10:46,926
evidence claim pointing only to a predictably slow counting process

179
00:10:47,629 --> 00:10:50,386
in a state wait a minute is this Now, let

180
00:10:50,406 --> 00:10:52,854
me ask you a question. You're in California. You're the

181
00:10:52,894 --> 00:10:54,640
man on the scene, boots on the ground. I'm the

182
00:10:54,660 --> 00:10:58,534
boots on the ground. California. Is this predictable, this slow

183
00:10:58,654 --> 00:11:01,947
counting process? Is this something that... always happens with California?

184
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:07,699
It's been getting progressively worse ever since Newsom got in

185
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:09,907
office. It never used to be this way. In fact,

186
00:11:09,948 --> 00:11:12,959
there was a couple of memes floating around showing them,

187
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:18,692
you know. finishing the vote count within two or three

188
00:11:18,732 --> 00:11:22,099
days of the election. And that's been stretching and stretching,

189
00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:27,532
largely due to the fact that Newsom decided to Newsom.

190
00:11:27,612 --> 00:11:30,278
And, you know, you can't just blame Newsom. It's also

191
00:11:30,339 --> 00:11:33,386
the state legislature. They're the ones who create the bull

192
00:11:33,406 --> 00:11:39,411
crop. And they, uh... decided to send everybody whether you

193
00:11:39,512 --> 00:11:41,883
ask for you don't have to ask for absentee ballots.

194
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:44,788
Years ago, if you wanted to vote by mail, you

195
00:11:44,849 --> 00:11:48,636
had to request. Yeah, you had to request it. You

196
00:11:48,676 --> 00:11:53,145
get a package. A package. If you signed this package

197
00:11:53,226 --> 00:11:55,510
and sent the package back, then they send you an

198
00:11:55,610 --> 00:12:00,666
absentee ballot. No, everybody gets an absentee ballot. We continue.

199
00:12:00,766 --> 00:12:05,043
Portis claim pointing only to a predictably slow counting process.

200
00:12:05,367 --> 00:12:09,299
in a state with a huge volume of mail-in voters.

201
00:12:09,623 --> 00:12:12,292
which has always been the case and he is always

202
00:12:12,373 --> 00:12:15,705
known after all he's now been in politics for more

203
00:12:15,745 --> 00:12:19,337
than 12 years joining us former democratic congressman for new

204
00:12:19,357 --> 00:12:22,625
york and Senior advisor for VoteVets, Max Rose. James Sample,

205
00:12:22,765 --> 00:12:26,512
still with us as well. All right, so. All right.

206
00:12:26,592 --> 00:12:29,678
Is this Katie Turr? Turr? Yes, Turr. It's got to

207
00:12:29,718 --> 00:12:32,464
be. It sounds like her. She's so snide. Yeah, well,

208
00:12:32,484 --> 00:12:36,311
that's what you do. Very slowly, Max. Very slowly. Very

209
00:12:36,371 --> 00:12:38,876
slowly. It's always been the case. How much? It's always

210
00:12:38,916 --> 00:12:41,182
been the case. Oh, what? I got boots on the

211
00:12:41,222 --> 00:12:42,987
ground here that says that's not true. They do count

212
00:12:43,127 --> 00:12:46,618
very slowly, Max. Very slowly. But this has always been

213
00:12:46,658 --> 00:12:50,201
the case. How much traction does he get? on an

214
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:53,617
accusation like that. This is what Donald Trump always does.

215
00:12:53,998 --> 00:13:00,119
Yeah, it's kind of tiresome, isn't it? It's horrifying because...

216
00:13:00,099 --> 00:13:06,499
I think really the Democratic Party has turned. I'm so

217
00:13:06,599 --> 00:13:10,823
tired of these people saying Democratic Party. We really have

218
00:13:10,843 --> 00:13:13,293
to keep calling this out because it just it makes

219
00:13:13,353 --> 00:13:16,927
it sound like they're democratic, but they're not. Democrat party.

220
00:13:17,007 --> 00:13:20,781
Come on, dude. Amidst the I think really. The Democratic

221
00:13:20,802 --> 00:13:23,992
Party has turned itself in the right direction in terms

222
00:13:24,032 --> 00:13:27,884
of its willingness to go on the offense, its willingness

223
00:13:27,944 --> 00:13:31,214
to really use the power at its disposal. It's been

224
00:13:31,274 --> 00:13:34,503
a change, right direction. On this front, though, I still

225
00:13:34,544 --> 00:13:37,604
think it's a blind spot that somehow there's this thing

226
00:13:37,685 --> 00:13:40,180
about Donald Trump where we're like, you know, yeah. 2020,

227
00:13:41,084 --> 00:13:43,676
did the steal, January 6th, the whole thing. That won't

228
00:13:43,736 --> 00:13:48,804
happen again. There's zero doubt in my mind. that he

229
00:13:48,925 --> 00:13:51,552
will be using this language and attempting to use the

230
00:13:51,613 --> 00:13:54,321
powers at his disposal for this midterm election. So he

231
00:13:54,361 --> 00:13:59,376
said they're under investigation. The California vote process is under

232
00:13:59,476 --> 00:14:02,262
investigation. Under investigation. Should we take him at his word

233
00:14:02,323 --> 00:14:05,188
that it's under investigation and that something might be happening

234
00:14:05,248 --> 00:14:07,653
at DOJ? We should take him at his word that

235
00:14:07,713 --> 00:14:09,697
he wants there to be an investigation, and we should

236
00:14:09,717 --> 00:14:11,741
take him at his word that what he wants from

237
00:14:11,781 --> 00:14:15,168
DOJ, he typically gets. Yes, of course, he gets that.

238
00:14:15,228 --> 00:14:18,917
Now, wait, wait, wait. We should take him at his

239
00:14:19,018 --> 00:14:22,803
word that he wants there to be... An investigation? When

240
00:14:22,823 --> 00:14:28,900
did he say he wanted... That's not his words. No.

241
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,424
Well, how can we take him at his words when

242
00:14:30,444 --> 00:14:33,673
they misquote him? This whole station is set up to

243
00:14:33,753 --> 00:14:37,939
defend the Democrat Party. I mean, we know this. The

244
00:14:38,141 --> 00:14:44,845
station is pathetic. Well. So This morning on... Face the

245
00:14:44,905 --> 00:14:47,651
press, spank the press, meet the press, meet the press.

246
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:53,303
Spank Depressed. That would be a great show. Wouldn't that,

247
00:14:53,364 --> 00:14:56,217
though? Can you imagine? Who would host? Well, Manhans Welker

248
00:14:56,277 --> 00:15:00,276
is hosting Meet the Press. Well, she'd be perfect. She's

249
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:05,375
got the hands. for it. Have her spanking the press.

250
00:15:05,395 --> 00:15:08,580
So she was in Wisconsin interviewing the president and things

251
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,884
did not go well for her. Just to be very

252
00:15:10,944 --> 00:15:13,748
clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. No evidence.

253
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:16,312
No evidence. No evidence. Let me ask you about Todd

254
00:15:16,332 --> 00:15:18,856
Blanche. Listen to me. Listen to me. Let's talk about

255
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:22,402
Todd Blanche. This tremendous evidence is. nothing but evidence. The

256
00:15:22,462 --> 00:15:25,729
election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's

257
00:15:25,769 --> 00:15:30,358
happening again right now in California. It's happening right now

258
00:15:30,458 --> 00:15:34,045
in California. Right now, it's looking, look at what's happening

259
00:15:34,186 --> 00:15:39,115
in California. It's four days in California. It's, no, they're

260
00:15:39,155 --> 00:15:42,021
not, they're dropping fast because... It's a rigged election. Let

261
00:15:42,061 --> 00:15:45,789
me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even

262
00:15:45,889 --> 00:15:48,133
close to coming up with it. You know why they're

263
00:15:48,173 --> 00:15:50,819
doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. Do you

264
00:15:50,859 --> 00:15:52,923
have evidence to support that? All I have to do

265
00:15:52,943 --> 00:15:54,927
is look. All I have to do is look. That's

266
00:15:54,947 --> 00:15:57,071
not evidence. And I listen. And I listen to people.

267
00:15:57,412 --> 00:15:59,636
And let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence.

268
00:15:59,656 --> 00:16:01,119
Do you think it's appropriate? That's how they do it.

269
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:03,491
Count the votes in California. Do you think it's appropriate

270
00:16:03,771 --> 00:16:06,756
that they have an election and five days later they're

271
00:16:06,816 --> 00:16:08,980
nowhere close to picking the winner? State and local officials

272
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:12,285
acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. No, they're crooked. They're

273
00:16:12,365 --> 00:16:14,568
urging the votes to be counted. That's how they vote

274
00:16:14,588 --> 00:16:16,772
in California. You're crooked just like you're crooked. Your press

275
00:16:16,792 --> 00:16:19,576
is crooked. Oh, here we go. You're crooked. Oh, here

276
00:16:19,596 --> 00:16:21,600
we go. Here we go. Here we go. No, they're

277
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:23,544
crooked. They're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted

278
00:16:23,584 --> 00:16:25,447
quickly. That's how they vote in California. They're crooked, just

279
00:16:25,467 --> 00:16:27,792
like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. And meet the

280
00:16:27,852 --> 00:16:30,718
press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked. Really?

281
00:16:30,878 --> 00:16:33,343
Well, you play right into their hands. To be fair,

282
00:16:33,543 --> 00:16:36,369
Mr. President, I'm not crooked. To be fair, I'm not

283
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:39,635
crooked. Just to be fair now. Let's be fair now.

284
00:16:39,756 --> 00:16:43,636
I'm not crooked, Mr. President. That is a great... Isn't

285
00:16:43,717 --> 00:16:45,461
that great? To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's

286
00:16:45,481 --> 00:16:47,827
continue. Really? Well, you play right into their hands then.

287
00:16:48,027 --> 00:16:50,714
Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play

288
00:16:50,794 --> 00:16:54,102
right into their hands with this rep. You know that

289
00:16:54,142 --> 00:16:58,994
these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged.

290
00:16:59,014 --> 00:17:01,961
You know that I won an election. in a landslide

291
00:17:02,462 --> 00:17:06,169
and I got 94% bad press. You know why I

292
00:17:06,189 --> 00:17:10,838
got that? Because you have no credibility. No, that's wrong.

293
00:17:10,878 --> 00:17:15,828
That was a mistake he made. What did he say?

294
00:17:16,429 --> 00:17:21,419
He says, I got a 94% I don't know. Whatever.

295
00:17:21,555 --> 00:17:23,983
promoting himself he says and then no you know you

296
00:17:24,004 --> 00:17:27,255
got 94 bad press after being a winning in a

297
00:17:27,315 --> 00:17:32,504
landslide as he calls it not 93 And he says,

298
00:17:32,946 --> 00:17:36,902
why? Because you have no credibility? No, no, he was

299
00:17:36,982 --> 00:17:41,881
on the crooked theme, pounding home crooked. and then he

300
00:17:42,041 --> 00:17:45,969
switches it to credibility. That was a blunder. Well, he's

301
00:17:46,029 --> 00:17:50,358
about to rectify it. Elections are rigged. Your network knows

302
00:17:50,658 --> 00:17:53,684
that they're rigged. You know that I won an election

303
00:17:53,785 --> 00:17:56,390
in a landslide and I got 94% bad press. But

304
00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:58,735
Mr. President, you've never presented evidence. You know why I

305
00:17:58,795 --> 00:18:01,652
got that? Because you have no credibility. But you've never

306
00:18:01,712 --> 00:18:03,875
presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about

307
00:18:03,895 --> 00:18:05,017
it. I want to talk about Todd Lynch. You have

308
00:18:05,137 --> 00:18:09,844
more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk

309
00:18:09,864 --> 00:18:12,187
about it. Your elections in this country, we're like a

310
00:18:12,287 --> 00:18:16,373
third world country. Your elections are crooked. And you're crooked.

311
00:18:16,473 --> 00:18:19,898
And Mr. Press is crooked. And so is ABC and

312
00:18:19,978 --> 00:18:25,337
CBS. and CNN. Your one-sided crooked network. Let's call it

313
00:18:25,377 --> 00:18:27,664
quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a

314
00:18:27,684 --> 00:18:32,197
good time. And he walks off the set. This is

315
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:37,074
the best part. You know, there's a Welker standing... No,

316
00:18:37,094 --> 00:18:39,149
hold on. What? Now, I didn't get to see this

317
00:18:39,170 --> 00:18:42,772
because it was, you know... Past my bedtime. I was

318
00:18:42,853 --> 00:18:47,752
still getting up. Yeah. I understood the whole thing was

319
00:18:47,772 --> 00:18:51,773
50 minutes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It wasn't like he

320
00:18:51,813 --> 00:18:54,185
just walked in and walked off. No, I didn't say

321
00:18:54,245 --> 00:18:56,539
that. No, I know you didn't say it, but it

322
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,009
sounds like it, the way it comes across. Well, it's

323
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:04,166
because I'm playing a clip. 50 minutes? How much time

324
00:19:04,186 --> 00:19:06,759
is he supposed to be there? I mean, I'm playing

325
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,936
a clip, but the point is... He says, okay, we're

326
00:19:09,977 --> 00:19:13,505
done. He pulls off the mic, gets up. Thanks, darling.

327
00:19:13,525 --> 00:19:17,258
You're crooked. And then Welker is, her eyes are bugging

328
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:19,673
out of her head. She's like looking at the producer,

329
00:19:19,733 --> 00:19:21,724
looking at the crew like. Like, what just happened here?

330
00:19:21,744 --> 00:19:23,956
Now, is this the one that aired? This is what

331
00:19:24,057 --> 00:19:27,499
aired, yeah. Because I know they put a... transcript and

332
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:32,422
they i guess they posted a secondary complete interview well

333
00:19:32,643 --> 00:19:36,684
somewhere so at the end They come back to her

334
00:19:36,746 --> 00:19:40,548
in the studio. And here's what she says. Please, I

335
00:19:40,588 --> 00:19:43,012
travel all the way to Wisconsin. This is actually the,

336
00:19:43,192 --> 00:19:45,736
this is how it went on air. I travel all

337
00:19:45,756 --> 00:19:48,140
the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain,

338
00:19:48,641 --> 00:19:50,825
and I've given you enough time. You hear what he

339
00:19:50,865 --> 00:19:53,509
says? I've given you an hour, he says this. I

340
00:19:53,529 --> 00:19:57,736
travel all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in

341
00:19:57,776 --> 00:20:00,500
the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought

342
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,011
to straighten out your press because you know what? A

343
00:20:03,051 --> 00:20:06,003
country can never be great with a dishonest press. Listen,

344
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:08,975
we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the press.

345
00:20:09,459 --> 00:20:12,800
There goes the microphone. Now they switch back to the

346
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,620
studio and here's her tag. I spoke with President Trump

347
00:20:17,801 --> 00:20:21,242
on Saturday and we both acknowledged the complications during the

348
00:20:21,322 --> 00:20:24,749
interview posed by the rain. He agreed to sit down

349
00:20:24,809 --> 00:20:28,256
with me for another Meet the Press interview. It's because

350
00:20:28,276 --> 00:20:31,703
of the rain, I say. Okay. Well, there was some

351
00:20:31,803 --> 00:20:35,832
talk about the rain. They were in a barn with

352
00:20:35,912 --> 00:20:39,419
a tin roof. Yeah, with a tractor in the back.

353
00:20:39,399 --> 00:20:43,880
It was raining and they had to cut it a

354
00:20:43,961 --> 00:20:47,823
number of times and they had to stop them. interview

355
00:20:47,863 --> 00:20:50,320
a number of times supposedly according to the report i

356
00:20:50,381 --> 00:20:54,027
read the whole thing was crazy The whole thing was

357
00:20:54,088 --> 00:21:00,612
crazy. Now, there was some... There's a Supreme Court case

358
00:21:01,191 --> 00:21:03,775
that may stop some of these ballots. I have a,

359
00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:06,840
this is back to Muz now. Tell me about SCOTUS

360
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,484
and mail-in ballots. Well, so there's a pending, I mean,

361
00:21:09,504 --> 00:21:12,229
California, we're tracking the mail-in vote. We're tracking how long

362
00:21:12,269 --> 00:21:15,033
it takes them to count. California is one of the

363
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:17,938
states that allows for a grace period for ballots that

364
00:21:17,978 --> 00:21:21,364
are postmarked. by election day, but arrive. It's not just

365
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:23,950
a ballot that goes right into a post box. You

366
00:21:23,970 --> 00:21:28,098
have to get it posted and signed off on, certified

367
00:21:28,158 --> 00:21:31,605
essentially by somebody at the post office. Just as when

368
00:21:31,645 --> 00:21:33,969
you mail your taxes, you can mail them out on

369
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:36,555
April 15th at 11 o'clock at night if you can

370
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:38,258
get to a post office and make sure you get

371
00:21:38,278 --> 00:21:41,194
that postmarked. The IRS isn't going to reject your money,

372
00:21:41,494 --> 00:21:44,859
but there is a movement afoot to reject votes that

373
00:21:44,899 --> 00:21:47,603
would meet that same standard. And the Supreme Court has

374
00:21:47,623 --> 00:21:50,087
a case pending before it right now called Watson v.

375
00:21:50,147 --> 00:21:53,151
Republican National Committee that has not yet been decided. And

376
00:21:53,231 --> 00:21:56,356
at oral argument, there were essentially three groups of three.

377
00:21:56,896 --> 00:21:59,020
There are three votes that were a little bit... hard

378
00:21:59,060 --> 00:22:01,404
to read based on oral argument. There are clearly three

379
00:22:01,444 --> 00:22:04,290
votes to end this practice by this, to have the

380
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:06,915
Supreme Court end this practice. There may be five votes

381
00:22:07,016 --> 00:22:08,879
to end the practice. Would it be retroactive? It would

382
00:22:08,899 --> 00:22:10,483
not be retroactive. There's no way you could make it

383
00:22:10,523 --> 00:22:12,507
retroactive. Certainly not for California. Well, could it work for

384
00:22:12,527 --> 00:22:15,653
November if they decided? Yes, conceivably. That would be a

385
00:22:15,693 --> 00:22:19,160
massive change. There's a principle called the Purcell Principle. which

386
00:22:19,220 --> 00:22:23,750
says we shouldn't interfere, but realistically... Alabama. Right, right. Realistically,

387
00:22:24,131 --> 00:22:27,699
this Supreme Court applies that principle when it's convenient for

388
00:22:27,739 --> 00:22:30,285
this Supreme Court to apply that principle for its partisan

389
00:22:30,305 --> 00:22:34,183
ends. Yeah, okay. Well, we'll see where that goes. Nowhere.

390
00:22:34,405 --> 00:22:36,703
There was a... See, this is a... It was an

391
00:22:36,804 --> 00:22:42,152
interesting commentary on Kate. about why they are taking so

392
00:22:42,213 --> 00:22:46,700
much time. Tonight, election fraud investigations underway in L.A. as

393
00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:51,607
some, including Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton, express their

394
00:22:51,728 --> 00:22:56,195
frustration that final results of Tuesday's primary election could be

395
00:22:56,395 --> 00:23:01,264
weeks away. This is an absolute... shambles, a humiliation for

396
00:23:01,284 --> 00:23:04,931
California. It is making our state a laughingstock here in

397
00:23:04,971 --> 00:23:09,520
America. President Trump, without releasing any evidence, accusing Democrats of,

398
00:23:09,580 --> 00:23:13,568
quote, grieving the election, saying Americans are ashamed of what

399
00:23:13,648 --> 00:23:17,857
is happening. U.S. Attorney Bill Assele announcing his office is

400
00:23:17,937 --> 00:23:22,967
coordinating with the... FBI in multiple investigation. But political experts

401
00:23:23,007 --> 00:23:26,835
say there is nothing to indicate widespread election fraud. And

402
00:23:26,875 --> 00:23:31,184
the delay is expected because of California's mail-in ballot process.

403
00:23:31,665 --> 00:23:36,655
It's nothing fraudulent. It's nothing untoward. The reason it's taking

404
00:23:36,675 --> 00:23:40,231
a long time is that. The people counting the ballots

405
00:23:40,331 --> 00:23:45,902
take their time matching signatures. Oh, that's it. Matching signatures.

406
00:23:46,484 --> 00:23:52,516
Please. SB25, they mentioned in the Stella podcast, says you

407
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:57,242
don't have to do that anymore. According to... The bill,

408
00:23:57,548 --> 00:24:01,313
SB 25- I'm sorry, SB 75 that Newsom signed says

409
00:24:01,333 --> 00:24:04,667
you don't have to match the signatures. So how does

410
00:24:04,688 --> 00:24:09,743
this come into play? Well, they're lying. Somebody's lying. Yeah.

411
00:24:10,227 --> 00:24:16,229
Well. For sure, we will not see Xavier Becerra. He's

412
00:24:16,270 --> 00:24:20,430
the guy now leading? *laughs* Yeah. Wasn't he healthy? Didn't

413
00:24:20,670 --> 00:24:22,293
we laugh him out of town when he was at

414
00:24:22,353 --> 00:24:25,818
Health and Human Services? Now he's the front runner? He's

415
00:24:25,858 --> 00:24:28,903
the front runner in California? I think he was. Was

416
00:24:28,943 --> 00:24:31,207
he the one that was impeached, too, I think? It

417
00:24:31,247 --> 00:24:34,211
might have been. Let's ask the robot. Yeah, look it

418
00:24:34,231 --> 00:24:37,036
up. That's a good one. Book of Knowledge. Was Javier

419
00:24:37,557 --> 00:24:42,777
Becerra impeached? when he was in HHS. Let's see. I

420
00:24:42,838 --> 00:24:46,416
think you're right. Well, one of them was. I think

421
00:24:46,477 --> 00:24:48,557
it was him. It could have been. It could have

422
00:24:48,577 --> 00:24:52,305
been. Well, it's taken a long time to figure it

423
00:24:52,325 --> 00:24:56,205
out. According to the Book of Knowledge, Xavier Becerra served

424
00:24:56,305 --> 00:24:59,701
as the 25th United States Secretary of Health. and human

425
00:24:59,781 --> 00:25:06,359
services under President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2005. But

426
00:25:06,419 --> 00:25:10,089
no impeachment proceedings occurred during his tenure. It was the

427
00:25:10,691 --> 00:25:13,719
Homeland Security guy that was impeached. Oh, yeah, you're right.

428
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:19,401
Different brown guy. Yeah, Becerra was a do-nothing, do-nothing. guy.

429
00:25:19,481 --> 00:25:25,474
He oversaw the vacs. Isn't he a pharma guy? Yeah,

430
00:25:25,494 --> 00:25:27,759
he's a big pharma, he's a big business guy. The

431
00:25:27,779 --> 00:25:31,286
advantage that he has, or the only good news for

432
00:25:31,326 --> 00:25:37,044
him, is that he's like pro-refinery. And well, he's pro-oil.

433
00:25:37,650 --> 00:25:41,697
He's pro-oil. He's big oil. Chevron has paid, financed his

434
00:25:41,758 --> 00:25:45,800
campaign. What? The Jews haven't done it? Well, no, the

435
00:25:45,921 --> 00:25:50,409
Jews, I think the Jews want to stire. So Steyer's

436
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:55,549
out. Of course. How could they fail? Nobody likes Steyer.

437
00:25:55,609 --> 00:25:58,543
Steyer's a creep. Yeah, but how could he fail? fail.

438
00:25:58,583 --> 00:26:00,599
I mean, he had all the money. I'm sure he

439
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,878
had APAC. And how can it fail? I don't understand.

440
00:26:03,918 --> 00:26:07,191
People always tell me. If you got all the money,

441
00:26:07,211 --> 00:26:09,157
then you win. You should also mention the fact that

442
00:26:09,218 --> 00:26:11,646
I was watching one of these old clips and Hillary

443
00:26:12,188 --> 00:26:15,780
had twice as much money as Trump in 2016. How

444
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,329
come she didn't win? I'm just saying. Twice as much.

445
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:27,073
Anomaly. So we were pretty much correct about Pulte. Now,

446
00:26:27,454 --> 00:26:30,000
is Pulte the guy? That was probably more you than

447
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:33,168
me on this one. Is he the guy from the

448
00:26:33,208 --> 00:26:36,295
big construction company? Is that this Pulte? Isn't there a

449
00:26:36,335 --> 00:26:39,280
Pulte Construction? I don't know if it's the same guy

450
00:26:39,321 --> 00:26:42,010
or not. But he's definitely got nothing to do with

451
00:26:42,071 --> 00:26:44,575
intelligence. I think it's one of these things. I think

452
00:26:44,615 --> 00:26:47,340
Trump does this a lot. I'm going to put you

453
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,404
up for this. You're going to be able to say

454
00:26:49,444 --> 00:26:51,187
you're going to put in your bio that you were

455
00:26:51,267 --> 00:26:54,874
nominated. Your wife's going to like it. Everybody's going to

456
00:26:54,914 --> 00:26:57,118
think you're great, but you're not going to get it.

457
00:26:57,298 --> 00:27:00,565
Well. The theory goes a little deeper. Let's listen first

458
00:27:00,645 --> 00:27:03,872
to CBS. Now we're taking you to Washington where acting

459
00:27:03,952 --> 00:27:06,918
Attorney General Todd Blanch has just confirmed that a controversial

460
00:27:06,938 --> 00:27:11,727
$1.8 billion payout fund for Trump allies has now been

461
00:27:11,748 --> 00:27:15,355
totally canceled. In the meantime, there's new controversy over the

462
00:27:15,415 --> 00:27:18,922
president's decision to name a close... ally as acting director

463
00:27:18,962 --> 00:27:21,848
of national intelligence. Weijia Zhang is at the White House

464
00:27:21,868 --> 00:27:24,032
with the latest on this. Weijia, good morning to you.

465
00:27:24,052 --> 00:27:26,978
What's the issue? Good morning, Gail. Good morning to everybody.

466
00:27:26,998 --> 00:27:31,968
President Trump passed over other high-ranking intelligence officials and appointed

467
00:27:32,028 --> 00:27:36,016
Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency,

468
00:27:36,076 --> 00:27:39,743
to also be the acting director. of National Intelligence. When

469
00:27:39,784 --> 00:27:42,709
we asked the White House about why Potee was picked

470
00:27:42,749 --> 00:27:44,954
for the role, they only said he would do a

471
00:27:45,034 --> 00:27:49,363
great job. President Trump named Bill Potee to oversee 18

472
00:27:49,483 --> 00:27:55,314
intelligence agencies and organizations, touting his, quote, deep experience managing

473
00:27:55,375 --> 00:27:59,819
the most sensitive matters in America. But even some Republicans

474
00:27:59,879 --> 00:28:03,527
were quick to point out those sensitive matters don't include

475
00:28:03,607 --> 00:28:07,496
national security. No evidence of any qualifications for that. No

476
00:28:07,676 --> 00:28:11,645
evidence. The director of national intelligence position was created after

477
00:28:11,665 --> 00:28:17,538
9-11 to coordinate communication for the intelligence community. Pulte currently

478
00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:21,566
runs. an agency that regulates home loans. I don't know

479
00:28:21,586 --> 00:28:24,652
of any national security experience he has. Dr. Mehmet Oz,

480
00:28:24,692 --> 00:28:28,259
who led Tuesday's White House press briefing. Good afternoon, everybody.

481
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:32,929
Said he didn't know anything about Pocchi's situation, but added.

482
00:28:32,949 --> 00:28:35,614
I do trust the president's judgment. He is a very

483
00:28:35,694 --> 00:28:40,474
sharp and quick study. I love the, CBS does this

484
00:28:40,534 --> 00:28:44,900
a lot. They're doing very, very short quotes from everybody,

485
00:28:45,221 --> 00:28:47,785
just popping it. I mean, I have to say, it's

486
00:28:47,885 --> 00:28:51,190
fast, but it's all, you know, it's either a gnat

487
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:53,132
pop or it's going to be a quote of, you

488
00:28:53,152 --> 00:28:55,536
know, there's no evidence he has any experience. And he

489
00:28:55,636 --> 00:28:57,619
is the home builder. It is the Pulte home builder.

490
00:28:57,599 --> 00:28:59,763
according to the total. Okay, that makes sense, because he

491
00:28:59,783 --> 00:29:01,346
would be a FHA guy, sure. Yeah, of course. Here's

492
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:04,673
a second clip. Pulte also earned the president's praise for

493
00:29:04,693 --> 00:29:09,964
pushing prosecutions of the president's perceived political opponents. Like California's

494
00:29:09,984 --> 00:29:14,272
Perceived political opponents. This is great. Senator Adam Schiff, New

495
00:29:14,312 --> 00:29:17,619
York Attorney General. That's not perceived. That's a political opponent.

496
00:29:17,723 --> 00:29:22,011
Tisha James and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for alleged

497
00:29:22,171 --> 00:29:25,517
mortgage fraud. We refer people who are Democrats, Republicans, it

498
00:29:25,537 --> 00:29:31,348
doesn't matter. Congress doesn't have a role in confirming acting

499
00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:37,519
cabinet-level officials like Potee or Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch.

500
00:29:37,499 --> 00:29:39,747
fund is something that President Trump talked about for a

501
00:29:39,787 --> 00:29:43,881
long time. Blanche faced fierce backlash even after the Justice

502
00:29:43,921 --> 00:29:46,972
Department dropped plans to set up a proposed one point

503
00:29:47,012 --> 00:29:52,495
which is really inherently dishonest. Yeah, but the way they're

504
00:29:52,535 --> 00:29:55,909
doing it, I like it because it keeps the pace

505
00:29:55,949 --> 00:30:01,380
and flow going like crazy. It's augmenting, it's not... confirm

506
00:30:01,441 --> 00:30:02,904
in other words they don't say something and then the

507
00:30:02,944 --> 00:30:07,415
guy says the same thing exactly blanch faced fierce backlash

508
00:30:07,595 --> 00:30:10,602
even after the justice department dropped plans to set up

509
00:30:10,682 --> 00:30:14,972
a proposed 1.8 billion dollar fund to pay people who

510
00:30:15,053 --> 00:30:18,440
feel they were victims of government weaponization But we are

511
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,426
not moving forward with the fund, period. A federal judge

512
00:30:21,526 --> 00:30:24,452
ruled to temporarily block the fund until next month, but

513
00:30:24,512 --> 00:30:27,859
Blanche says even after that date, the administration will not

514
00:30:27,939 --> 00:30:31,466
try to... Okay, so now we go to the president

515
00:30:31,507 --> 00:30:34,192
himself. It's an acting position. It's not a permanent. He's

516
00:30:34,212 --> 00:30:36,176
not going to be permanent because, you know, I don't

517
00:30:36,196 --> 00:30:38,368
think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very

518
00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:40,752
smart guy, and you may find out some things about

519
00:30:41,273 --> 00:30:43,516
the rigged elections, et cetera, et cetera. I think you'd

520
00:30:43,556 --> 00:30:45,500
like to do it. I'd like to. I think he

521
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:47,883
wants to do it very much. Got a lot of

522
00:30:47,943 --> 00:30:51,229
energy. But he'll be very good. A lot of energy.

523
00:30:51,249 --> 00:30:54,855
Again, it's not a permanent position. We're interviewing people right

524
00:30:54,895 --> 00:30:58,369
now. But it's somebody just to... Take it over for

525
00:30:58,389 --> 00:31:00,375
a little while. Does he have a necessary, in your

526
00:31:00,395 --> 00:31:03,885
view, Mr. President, a necessary national security experience to take

527
00:31:04,026 --> 00:31:05,530
on that position? Well, I do, and I think he

528
00:31:05,570 --> 00:31:09,128
does, actually, because he's smart. He's smart. His national security

529
00:31:09,169 --> 00:31:13,920
experience. Yeah, he's smart. So what we deconstructed. is that

530
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,248
this what he's doing here is getting a guy bull

531
00:31:17,288 --> 00:31:19,973
in a china shop look at this look at this

532
00:31:20,013 --> 00:31:21,936
look at this look at this and there's a guy

533
00:31:22,036 --> 00:31:24,861
behind him which is the same guy who was behind

534
00:31:24,981 --> 00:31:29,188
tulsi and that's the guy he said okay here's bill

535
00:31:29,228 --> 00:31:32,834
pulte he's going to be the acting director of national

536
00:31:32,914 --> 00:31:38,895
intelligence which has them completely in a conniption fit. Why?

537
00:31:39,499 --> 00:31:42,213
Because Pulte is like a bull in a china shop.

538
00:31:42,977 --> 00:31:48,299
And my friend The NSA veteran, Kirk Wiebe, once told

539
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:51,232
me, I asked him the question. How would you go

540
00:31:51,312 --> 00:31:54,209
about reforming the deep state? What would you do? And

541
00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:57,936
he said, first, you need some... with a chainsaw weed

542
00:31:57,996 --> 00:32:01,716
whacker who's willing to go in there and just Tear

543
00:32:01,797 --> 00:32:05,251
everything down. And then you need somebody from the intelligence

544
00:32:05,311 --> 00:32:09,166
community who actually knows how to direct the weed whacker

545
00:32:09,227 --> 00:32:12,372
to where he's got to go. So Tulsi Gabbard did

546
00:32:12,432 --> 00:32:18,144
that in the first term. capable of doing that. He's

547
00:32:18,224 --> 00:32:22,893
got Tulsi Gabbard's chief assistant, Aaron Lucas, who is the

548
00:32:22,933 --> 00:32:27,362
deputy DNI under Tulsi, to show him exactly where to

549
00:32:27,443 --> 00:32:31,811
go. And people like Mark Warner, the senator who was

550
00:32:32,092 --> 00:32:38,301
probably most responsible for Russiagate. is completely flipping out. He

551
00:32:38,321 --> 00:32:41,488
says, this guy's going to have access to every classified

552
00:32:41,548 --> 00:32:45,216
secret in the United States. What does that mean? In

553
00:32:45,276 --> 00:32:48,583
his interview with Miranda Devine yesterday, Trump hinted at it.

554
00:32:49,085 --> 00:32:52,893
He kept coming back over and over again to the

555
00:32:52,973 --> 00:32:57,529
rigging of the 2020 elections. And my bet. is the

556
00:32:57,589 --> 00:33:01,184
way he's seeing Pulte is this is the guy who

557
00:33:01,224 --> 00:33:05,461
can prevent the fraud coming up in the midterms. All

558
00:33:05,522 --> 00:33:11,884
right. So chainsaw weed whacker. There you go. Who is

559
00:33:11,946 --> 00:33:16,170
that? Who said that? Who was that last? Clip from

560
00:33:16,211 --> 00:33:21,031
Barbara Boyd. Is that a Prometheus person? Yes. Old lady.

561
00:33:21,547 --> 00:33:24,159
Yeah. They have a bunch of them. They only have

562
00:33:24,219 --> 00:33:27,032
two of them. Well, it seems like a bunch to

563
00:33:27,092 --> 00:33:30,977
me, Susan and Barbara, but. I mean, that's the guy.

564
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:33,872
He's been a spook for 20 years. Of course he

565
00:33:33,892 --> 00:33:37,857
knows where everything is. And you get Pulte, yeah, I'm

566
00:33:37,877 --> 00:33:39,901
sure the guy's going to have fun. It's just like

567
00:33:39,941 --> 00:33:43,891
demoing a house. This is basically, in the private sector,

568
00:33:43,911 --> 00:33:46,777
this is the same act that we're seeing with Nick

569
00:33:46,818 --> 00:33:51,360
Shirley. Oh, do tell. Nick Shirley's always got some guy.

570
00:33:51,501 --> 00:33:55,478
Oh yeah, yeah, he has Dave. Bob. Bob or Dave

571
00:33:55,499 --> 00:33:57,623
or... Fred, there's some guy telling him what to do.

572
00:33:57,643 --> 00:34:02,473
Yes, yes, exactly right. It's fantastic. It's a good bit

573
00:34:02,493 --> 00:34:04,817
because you have a front man. And then when all

574
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:07,663
hell breaks loose and you got to ax him, you

575
00:34:07,723 --> 00:34:11,954
just, okay, you're out. Yeah. And but meanwhile, the real

576
00:34:12,015 --> 00:34:14,473
damage is being done by the second guy there. He's

577
00:34:14,674 --> 00:34:17,223
still there. And you bring another front man in, he

578
00:34:17,263 --> 00:34:19,421
does the same exact thing. It doesn't make any difference

579
00:34:19,461 --> 00:34:22,451
who it is. And so the whole thing, it reminds

580
00:34:22,512 --> 00:34:26,681
me, there used to be a... The guy who ran

581
00:34:26,701 --> 00:34:29,975
Computer World and IDP. Oh, here we go. Here we

582
00:34:30,016 --> 00:34:32,787
go. I'm already loving it. I'm already loving it. This

583
00:34:32,807 --> 00:34:34,434
is the one I've not heard. I don't think I've

584
00:34:34,475 --> 00:34:38,699
heard this one. It's possible. I have told this before

585
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:41,261
because it's a very good story. It's not my story.

586
00:34:41,301 --> 00:34:44,790
It's a story that everyone knows. Pat McGovern used to

587
00:34:45,171 --> 00:34:49,663
run Computer World, Info World, all these magazines, and IDG,

588
00:34:49,683 --> 00:34:52,390
the publishing company, is really big in Asia. They're everywhere.

589
00:34:52,932 --> 00:34:56,165
And Pat used his gambit. He'd do the same. He

590
00:34:56,225 --> 00:35:00,172
pulled a similar kind of stunt to have somebody who

591
00:35:00,273 --> 00:35:07,678
was a... Like just a prick writing nasty stuff. By

592
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,065
the way, that's a classic word we need to bring

593
00:35:10,145 --> 00:35:14,015
back. Prick is not used often enough because, you know,

594
00:35:14,416 --> 00:35:16,925
it's a word you can use. People aren't offended, but

595
00:35:16,985 --> 00:35:20,501
it really explains like a, just a nasty. Yeah, beyond

596
00:35:20,521 --> 00:35:24,692
a dick. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's dick and beyond. So

597
00:35:24,753 --> 00:35:29,757
this guy, so the idea, so he'd create these people

598
00:35:30,279 --> 00:35:35,560
that didn't exist and he'd have somebody. Ghost writing. for

599
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:38,168
him. So he had all these different writers that would

600
00:35:38,208 --> 00:35:40,395
go on and on and on about something or other

601
00:35:40,415 --> 00:35:43,544
and they'd slam some company and say, these guys are

602
00:35:43,625 --> 00:35:46,333
no good. Of course, this may be a company that

603
00:35:46,373 --> 00:35:48,460
didn't advertise a lot. There's a lot of reasons to

604
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,409
do it. Obviously. and it would get the company all

605
00:35:53,489 --> 00:35:56,257
bent out of shape. And so McGovern would always go

606
00:35:56,278 --> 00:35:58,141
up to the company and say, well, you know, if

607
00:35:59,163 --> 00:36:01,888
you guys maybe advertise a little bit. Well, we can

608
00:36:01,948 --> 00:36:05,514
advertise, but that guy's got to go. And McGovern would

609
00:36:05,554 --> 00:36:10,082
always say, no problem, I'm firing him tomorrow. Some guy

610
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:14,990
who didn't exist. A guy who didn't exist. That's perfect.

611
00:36:15,011 --> 00:36:21,759
He's out. He's out. We're with you, buddy. That's great.

612
00:36:22,659 --> 00:36:25,469
Do you think that stuff must still happen at publications,

613
00:36:25,529 --> 00:36:29,443
I'm sure? Sure it does. Everything is like that. When

614
00:36:29,483 --> 00:36:33,302
we mess up, we're going to fire our producer. That

615
00:36:33,383 --> 00:36:36,594
guy's gotta go. So this next clip, because we're kind

616
00:36:36,634 --> 00:36:40,355
of moving into... Todd Blanch, which everyone is also really

617
00:36:40,435 --> 00:36:44,502
upset about because he's the president's personal lawyer. How many

618
00:36:44,542 --> 00:36:48,408
times have we heard this? Oh, the attorney general's acting

619
00:36:48,428 --> 00:36:51,354
like the president's personal lawyer. Now it actually is his

620
00:36:51,474 --> 00:36:55,153
personal lawyer and they're losing their minds over it. But

621
00:36:55,456 --> 00:36:58,140
I caught this on Miz Now. I'm obsessed with Miz

622
00:36:58,180 --> 00:37:02,656
Now. It's so bad. I must be single-handedly raising their

623
00:37:02,677 --> 00:37:07,078
ratings through the roof. Listen to this. Doubling them. Blanche

624
00:37:07,118 --> 00:37:09,726
has been auditioning for this since Bondi was ousted in

625
00:37:09,906 --> 00:37:14,840
April. Auditioning! Oh yeah! And pushing to go even farther

626
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,106
than she would on cases that even if they ultimately

627
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:22,018
lose or are overturned, reflect Trump's demands for a partisan,

628
00:37:22,219 --> 00:37:28,127
political, revenge-oriented DOJ. The move does follow on what Trump

629
00:37:28,368 --> 00:37:33,520
wanted in Telegraph. Many are concerned that this obvious... Legal.

630
00:37:33,623 --> 00:37:36,829
Conflict will only get worse if he goes from temporary

631
00:37:36,869 --> 00:37:40,436
to permanent. Remember, it is a scandal and a legal

632
00:37:40,456 --> 00:37:44,163
breach. Isn't that Ari Flyer, the guy with the 6

633
00:37:44,223 --> 00:37:46,988
o'clock shadow? The guy who does rap lyrics at the

634
00:37:47,049 --> 00:37:49,774
end of his show. I remember in the great words

635
00:37:50,535 --> 00:37:54,567
of Q West. Conflict will only get worse if he

636
00:37:54,607 --> 00:37:58,634
goes from temporary to permanent. Remember, it is a scandal

637
00:37:58,694 --> 00:38:00,798
and a legal breach in and of itself for any

638
00:38:00,898 --> 00:38:04,064
president to take someone who was their personal defense attorney,

639
00:38:04,124 --> 00:38:06,168
someone who was loyal to them on a personal basis,

640
00:38:06,548 --> 00:38:08,913
and say they should also run the DOJ, run the

641
00:38:09,293 --> 00:38:11,798
law firm, if you will, for the country. Because throughout

642
00:38:11,838 --> 00:38:14,622
modern history... of the DOJ, it was a huge dividing

643
00:38:14,683 --> 00:38:17,148
line that it is supposed to be independent. That of

644
00:38:17,208 --> 00:38:20,239
course, any president is entitled to their... Well, this is

645
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,869
a very good question. He says modern history, but let's

646
00:38:22,889 --> 00:38:25,097
just go through the history because I did a deep

647
00:38:25,137 --> 00:38:29,354
dive. Oh good for you. Let's start with... Number one,

648
00:38:29,536 --> 00:38:34,135
George Washington. His... Department of Justice. This is he actually

649
00:38:34,175 --> 00:38:38,993
established. This is before the Department of Justice was established.

650
00:38:39,013 --> 00:38:44,603
This is 1789. Edmund Randolph. was his private personal attorney.

651
00:38:45,183 --> 00:38:49,143
managing his extensive personal legal affairs and estates in Virginia,

652
00:38:49,163 --> 00:38:52,219
and he appointed him as the nation's very first U.S.

653
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,373
Attorney General. Huh. Well, there's the precedent has been set.

654
00:38:55,393 --> 00:38:58,427
The precedent has been set. The precedent has been set.

655
00:38:58,487 --> 00:39:05,792
Let's go to Warren G. Harding, 1921. Harry Daugherty, Ohio

656
00:39:05,832 --> 00:39:10,191
lawyer who served Harding's personal attorney, close political confidant. Upon

657
00:39:10,251 --> 00:39:14,192
taking office, Harding appointed Daugherty. as Attorney General. Well, there

658
00:39:14,233 --> 00:39:17,361
you have it. That's pretty modern. Now, how about this

659
00:39:17,461 --> 00:39:19,547
one? This is my favorite because it's not just the

660
00:39:19,708 --> 00:39:23,719
old guys. It's not just the Republicans. John F. Kennedy

661
00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:28,749
literally appointed his brother. Robert F. Kennedy. There you go.

662
00:39:29,072 --> 00:39:32,218
As his brother, his brother became Attorney General. Yeah, there's

663
00:39:32,259 --> 00:39:38,156
no conflict there, that's not crazy. Richard Nixon. appointed John

664
00:39:38,197 --> 00:39:43,020
Mitchell. And Richard, he was Nixon's law partner at their

665
00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:49,949
firm. Ronald Reagan, William French Smith, and Edwin Meese. Both

666
00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:54,343
in the inner circle. And, of course, George W. Bush

667
00:39:54,383 --> 00:39:58,691
with Alberto Gonzalez. So this is bull crap. This is

668
00:39:58,792 --> 00:40:02,499
bull crap. This is basically a lie being put on

669
00:40:02,539 --> 00:40:09,553
the poor, dumb viewers of MS Now. Low IQ viewers

670
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:13,470
is how we call that. Yes, exactly. So this whole

671
00:40:13,573 --> 00:40:17,939
thing... But, you know, it's a new day, it's a

672
00:40:17,999 --> 00:40:22,594
new dawn. I guess that's, I guess that's, I don't

673
00:40:22,614 --> 00:40:24,526
know. I don't know what I'm saying, but you know,

674
00:40:24,586 --> 00:40:27,807
you know what I mean? Since we're talking about the

675
00:40:27,887 --> 00:40:30,732
Department of Justice, I have an interesting little tidbit for

676
00:40:30,772 --> 00:40:34,073
you. Okay. This is an Ask Adam. Oh, hold on

677
00:40:34,113 --> 00:40:37,160
a second. You surprised me with the Ask Adam, but...

678
00:40:37,180 --> 00:40:40,829
Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Yeah. All right. Here we go.

679
00:40:40,969 --> 00:40:43,676
Ask Adam. What are we doing? So this is... I

680
00:40:43,716 --> 00:40:45,781
want you to listen to this clip. And this is

681
00:40:45,841 --> 00:40:51,840
about Hegseth. Talking about, you know, he hexes. came out

682
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:55,087
with this speech that got all the EU people bent

683
00:40:55,167 --> 00:40:58,253
out of shape saying you guys are on D-Day. It's

684
00:40:58,273 --> 00:41:01,059
a D-Day speech. Yeah, June 6th, yes. We had D-Day

685
00:41:01,099 --> 00:41:03,584
yesterday for people. It wasn't celebrating the United States at

686
00:41:03,644 --> 00:41:08,093
all anymore. Nobody cares. 22,000 dead on the beach, but

687
00:41:08,193 --> 00:41:12,705
now that's... Whatever. Let's skip it. Yeah. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.

688
00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:18,447
Yeah. Okay. So this is Ask Adam Hegseth on EU.

689
00:41:19,219 --> 00:41:22,952
The US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsov has criticized European nations

690
00:41:23,033 --> 00:41:26,405
for allowing what he described as an invasion of migrants

691
00:41:26,525 --> 00:41:30,419
on their shores during a D-Day anniversary speech in France.

692
00:41:30,651 --> 00:41:33,897
Speaking in Normandy, he said different European beaches were being

693
00:41:33,957 --> 00:41:41,071
invaded by dangerous ideologies. Sadly, today, different European beaches are

694
00:41:41,091 --> 00:41:46,661
stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy,

695
00:41:46,701 --> 00:41:53,389
in Greece, Bulgaria, boats. And men arrive. When will European

696
00:41:53,469 --> 00:41:58,338
capitals do something about that invasion? Migration has become a

697
00:41:58,398 --> 00:42:02,847
major political issue across Europe with parties supporting hardline immigration

698
00:42:02,907 --> 00:42:08,277
policies surging in the polls. Ask Adam, ask Adam, will

699
00:42:08,297 --> 00:42:12,487
he know or will he want to know? ♪ Slow

700
00:42:12,673 --> 00:42:16,713
as cattle ♪ Answer the question. Go. All right. What

701
00:42:16,773 --> 00:42:19,944
is the question? Well, this is a BBC report, and

702
00:42:20,024 --> 00:42:26,124
I'm asking you, what subtle insult? to the Trump administration

703
00:42:26,225 --> 00:42:33,734
was made in that clip. That doesn't come to mind

704
00:42:33,794 --> 00:42:37,059
immediately. No. Because you didn't catch it right away. So

705
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:40,204
I'm going to play a short clip. Yes. Which is

706
00:42:40,464 --> 00:42:45,432
another BBC clip with another presenter doing the same insult.

707
00:42:45,713 --> 00:42:49,198
The U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has called on European

708
00:42:49,298 --> 00:42:53,602
countries. to resist what he called an invasion of foreign

709
00:42:53,663 --> 00:42:57,498
migrants. An invasion of four... Wait, she said countries, which

710
00:42:57,538 --> 00:43:04,617
was... That caught my ear right away. He's the Secretary

711
00:43:04,717 --> 00:43:08,694
of War. Oh. The U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hagsner, was

712
00:43:08,754 --> 00:43:12,652
called on European... countries to resist what he called an

713
00:43:12,732 --> 00:43:17,019
invasion of foreign migrants. Yeah, very good. Very good. I

714
00:43:17,419 --> 00:43:20,003
did not pick up on that. No, because it's meant

715
00:43:20,043 --> 00:43:24,350
for you not to. They're just not giving, you know,

716
00:43:24,370 --> 00:43:26,654
we don't care what you call it. We're going to

717
00:43:26,694 --> 00:43:28,717
call it what we're going to call it. We're British.

718
00:43:28,858 --> 00:43:32,739
You're right. It's not the Gulf of America. I tell

719
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,716
you, it's the Gulf of Mexico. So we have, uh,

720
00:43:36,958 --> 00:43:42,722
panic. Panic, everybody, panic! Panic! here in Texas. The new

721
00:43:42,782 --> 00:43:46,683
world screw worm. The new world screw worm. The screw

722
00:43:47,105 --> 00:43:52,024
worm is back. So, Texas Slim. stayed here overnight. He's

723
00:43:52,186 --> 00:43:58,155
on his way to, uh, Baylor White. Baylor Scott White

724
00:43:58,236 --> 00:44:04,186
Hospital. He has like acute pancreatitis. Not from drinking, because

725
00:44:04,226 --> 00:44:06,058
he hasn't, I don't think he's had a drink in

726
00:44:06,098 --> 00:44:07,607
a decade. Yeah, how do you get it from drinking?

727
00:44:07,627 --> 00:44:09,943
It's just something else. It's like a virus. So I

728
00:44:09,984 --> 00:44:13,687
really want everybody, you know, think of Slim. Pray for

729
00:44:13,727 --> 00:44:17,937
Slim. It's not great. And Slim is even slimmer than

730
00:44:17,978 --> 00:44:22,348
he was. But, you know, this is Mr. Beef Intelligence,

731
00:44:22,368 --> 00:44:25,625
and he's like... oh man, this screw worm. He told

732
00:44:25,645 --> 00:44:27,720
me the whole history of the screw worm. He said,

733
00:44:27,740 --> 00:44:30,242
back in the day. He had screw worm. Yeah, we

734
00:44:30,262 --> 00:44:33,955
had screw worm. And you dug a trough and you

735
00:44:34,016 --> 00:44:36,705
walked all the cows through it with poison and they

736
00:44:36,766 --> 00:44:38,492
came out the other end and the screw worm was

737
00:44:38,552 --> 00:44:40,820
gone. That's what we did with screw worm. It was

738
00:44:40,861 --> 00:44:44,972
that simple. I said, but now, he says, now there's

739
00:44:45,032 --> 00:44:48,089
two things. One, the vaccine's got to be coming. We've

740
00:44:48,109 --> 00:44:50,613
got to have a vaccine for the screwworm. And the

741
00:44:50,673 --> 00:44:53,651
other one is really... What's this? What? A vaccine against

742
00:44:53,732 --> 00:44:58,735
a worm. course it's ridiculous he says it's just to

743
00:44:58,835 --> 00:45:01,321
reduce the herd even further they're going to want to

744
00:45:01,401 --> 00:45:04,629
call them you know it's all regulatory capture is what

745
00:45:04,669 --> 00:45:06,253
he said i listened to because you know slim is

746
00:45:06,594 --> 00:45:09,509
the one who said six years ago Our herd's going

747
00:45:09,529 --> 00:45:11,393
to go down. You have no idea how bad it's

748
00:45:11,413 --> 00:45:13,237
going to get. Now, he said to me last night,

749
00:45:13,277 --> 00:45:16,343
he said, there's going to be a famine within 90

750
00:45:16,383 --> 00:45:18,728
days. It may not be America. It could be Asia.

751
00:45:18,768 --> 00:45:22,116
This is a very big problem. And there's a couple

752
00:45:22,136 --> 00:45:27,185
of things I caught in this. Fox. Live Now report.

753
00:45:27,447 --> 00:45:30,704
Does he think this famine is being... the wood. Don't

754
00:45:31,237 --> 00:45:38,457
change. so quickly? What is the indicator for a famine

755
00:45:38,497 --> 00:45:41,672
and what is the trigger? Well, the trigger is stuff

756
00:45:41,712 --> 00:45:44,724
like this, where the herd gets reduced to where, I

757
00:45:44,744 --> 00:45:48,358
mean, have you been to a restaurant lately and ordered

758
00:45:48,438 --> 00:45:53,817
a... A ribeye? I mean, you're talking $89. $1,000. There's

759
00:45:53,857 --> 00:45:57,350
literally in Austin at, what is that place called? Three

760
00:45:57,431 --> 00:46:00,562
Forks, Five Forks, I don't know, Fork and Spoon. It's

761
00:46:00,623 --> 00:46:04,796
a fancy restaurant. Do you get one of those Flintstone

762
00:46:04,997 --> 00:46:07,791
ribeyes? What is it called? What's the big one called?

763
00:46:08,399 --> 00:46:11,324
You know, the huge one? Yeah, bone-in. Yeah, no, no,

764
00:46:11,344 --> 00:46:14,911
but big, like you eat it with three people. Oh,

765
00:46:15,272 --> 00:46:19,981
a double cut. No, no, no, no, no. No, a

766
00:46:20,001 --> 00:46:22,946
high collar. No, what is that thing called? A low

767
00:46:22,986 --> 00:46:25,411
pocket. No, what is that thing? Come on, there's a

768
00:46:25,511 --> 00:46:29,378
name for it. It's a tomahawk, the jumbo tomahawk. A

769
00:46:29,458 --> 00:46:32,006
tomahawk steak, yeah. They sell them at Costco. Those things

770
00:46:32,066 --> 00:46:34,396
are great. How much do you think they charge for

771
00:46:34,436 --> 00:46:37,207
it at the fancy restaurant in Austin? And you can,

772
00:46:37,227 --> 00:46:39,175
three people can eat. You could do four if you

773
00:46:39,215 --> 00:46:43,314
really wanted to. but you and I could probably devour

774
00:46:43,434 --> 00:46:46,124
one ourselves. Well, maybe not. You need three people. What

775
00:46:46,225 --> 00:46:48,212
is the price, do you think, in the fancy Austin

776
00:46:48,273 --> 00:46:53,058
restaurant for a jumbo? tomahawk rib eye. A jumbo tomahawk

777
00:46:53,078 --> 00:46:56,567
rib at a fancy Austin, which is overpriced. This is

778
00:46:56,627 --> 00:47:00,677
New York prices. Yep. For some unknown reason. I would

779
00:47:00,737 --> 00:47:09,097
say $95. $875. What? No. Yes. Yes. Dude, I was

780
00:47:09,198 --> 00:47:13,039
in a... What? Yes, I was in Nashville and one

781
00:47:13,079 --> 00:47:17,579
little stupid rib by $110. We didn't eat it, by

782
00:47:17,619 --> 00:47:20,632
the way. We didn't go to the restaurant. $110 for

783
00:47:20,774 --> 00:47:24,849
just a little ribeye. No, no. It's out of control.

784
00:47:24,869 --> 00:47:31,167
Let's back this up. $895 for a... $875. 875. 875,

785
00:47:31,208 --> 00:47:33,542
the Tomahawk, which you can buy at Costco, by the

786
00:47:33,602 --> 00:47:37,572
way, for about... 50 bucks maybe? 40? No, I don't

787
00:47:37,592 --> 00:47:42,926
think it's that much. It's probably less. Like 30. No,

788
00:47:43,008 --> 00:47:47,647
that's the best price. So, but this is what's happening.

789
00:47:48,259 --> 00:47:51,655
And I'm sure that, you know, There's a whole bunch

790
00:47:51,696 --> 00:47:54,311
of things that come into this. Well, hold on a

791
00:47:54,392 --> 00:48:00,033
second. This doesn't cost them. What are they marking the

792
00:48:00,093 --> 00:48:03,302
thing up and why? Well, the thing that Slim told

793
00:48:03,362 --> 00:48:05,287
me years ago. Or maybe they don't have it and

794
00:48:05,307 --> 00:48:08,776
it's just bull crap. No. I'm going back to what

795
00:48:08,816 --> 00:48:10,864
he said five, six years ago. ago. He says, mark

796
00:48:10,945 --> 00:48:14,786
my words. He says, Texas beef will be sold as

797
00:48:14,887 --> 00:48:18,440
caviar. You remember that? You're saying it's gonna be like

798
00:48:18,481 --> 00:48:22,538
caviar. And that's what's happening. And as a little aside,

799
00:48:22,879 --> 00:48:24,704
we don't get most of this beef. Most of this

800
00:48:24,744 --> 00:48:28,715
beef is going to the rich Chinese and the Japanese,

801
00:48:28,775 --> 00:48:31,833
and it's all going overseas. We're not even eating Texas

802
00:48:31,873 --> 00:48:34,637
beef, which brings me to this report. First about the

803
00:48:34,717 --> 00:48:37,742
scary screwworm. So first of all, let's just break down

804
00:48:37,902 --> 00:48:41,026
what exactly this new world screwworm is and the threat

805
00:48:41,046 --> 00:48:44,832
that it poses to livestock. Yeah, so like you said

806
00:48:44,912 --> 00:48:47,876
earlier, it is a fly and it's a parasitic blowfly

807
00:48:47,976 --> 00:48:51,522
and it lays eggs on wounds. of animals or any

808
00:48:51,582 --> 00:48:54,769
type of opening or orifice that it has access to

809
00:48:54,809 --> 00:48:58,095
and then those larvae will hatch off and start eating

810
00:48:58,135 --> 00:49:00,781
on the flesh of that animal. And when it eats

811
00:49:00,821 --> 00:49:02,865
this flesh, I mean, like, does it just eat away

812
00:49:03,005 --> 00:49:05,891
at the whole animal? Well, I mean, since it's fly

813
00:49:05,931 --> 00:49:07,875
larvae, it is a little tough for them to eat

814
00:49:07,995 --> 00:49:10,882
and consume an entire animal, but they will. feed on

815
00:49:10,902 --> 00:49:14,312
it and make wounds very grotesque in a sense and

816
00:49:14,353 --> 00:49:17,843
what really ends up happening is the animal doesn't survive

817
00:49:17,884 --> 00:49:22,272
these infestations so normally the animal will pass before full

818
00:49:22,373 --> 00:49:25,684
consumption by the larva, but the impact is severe while

819
00:49:25,704 --> 00:49:28,875
they're there and while they're feeding. Okay. So now this

820
00:49:28,975 --> 00:49:32,745
is... I think it's Laredo where this happened. They've got

821
00:49:32,805 --> 00:49:40,976
a 12-mile radius zone. And the worm doesn't fly, okay?

822
00:49:40,996 --> 00:49:44,485
It doesn't like jump, fly around. I'm going to go

823
00:49:44,545 --> 00:49:46,831
hit hill country. I'm going to go over here. No,

824
00:49:46,871 --> 00:49:50,119
it doesn't. You have to have contact, pretty much contact.

825
00:49:50,099 --> 00:49:52,804
with the other animal to get that. But now listen

826
00:49:52,844 --> 00:49:55,710
to this piece. Unfortunately, it began moving out of South

827
00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:59,137
America through Central America and up into Mexico a couple

828
00:49:59,197 --> 00:50:01,261
years ago, right? We've been watching it since 2022 or

829
00:50:01,281 --> 00:50:07,754
2023. But most of that movement is due to moving

830
00:50:07,874 --> 00:50:11,934
of animals that were infested with these. larva and when

831
00:50:11,954 --> 00:50:14,588
you move those animals without treating them ahead of time

832
00:50:14,669 --> 00:50:17,403
it can lead to further infestations in other areas. So

833
00:50:17,483 --> 00:50:22,050
what's wrong with this picture? It comes from animals that

834
00:50:22,090 --> 00:50:25,030
were moved up from Mexico and South America. This is

835
00:50:25,151 --> 00:50:31,860
beef country. That's not a Texas cow! They're moving. We're

836
00:50:31,900 --> 00:50:34,283
eating the crap. That's what's going on. You go to

837
00:50:34,303 --> 00:50:38,610
the supermarket, H-E-B, you're eating South American crap that has

838
00:50:38,650 --> 00:50:41,775
been touched by Lord knows how many hands, what they've

839
00:50:41,835 --> 00:50:44,419
injected into these animals to get them here. And our

840
00:50:44,479 --> 00:50:48,525
beef, the big Flintstone stuff, that's going overseas. This is

841
00:50:48,585 --> 00:50:52,546
not even our beef. Why are we driving cattle up

842
00:50:52,587 --> 00:50:56,869
through Texas? We got cattle. Now, it doesn't matter because

843
00:50:56,909 --> 00:50:59,320
we need to reduce the herd. They're probably, well, you

844
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,971
got to cull them or shoot them up, which will

845
00:51:02,011 --> 00:51:04,763
make them inedible and make them die eventually as well.

846
00:51:05,311 --> 00:51:07,645
So how do we, what do you do? So wait,

847
00:51:07,746 --> 00:51:11,130
let's back up. So initially. In the olden days, they

848
00:51:11,150 --> 00:51:13,553
would just run them through a bath and that would

849
00:51:13,573 --> 00:51:16,138
be the end of it. Yep. a poison bat which

850
00:51:16,158 --> 00:51:18,493
you do which you can do with dogs too uh

851
00:51:19,278 --> 00:51:22,841
you know it's kind of bastard or Got malathion in

852
00:51:22,861 --> 00:51:26,500
them or whatever it is. Yeah. What's wrong with that

853
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,284
process? No, there's no more knowledge. It's all... you know

854
00:51:32,311 --> 00:51:37,444
It's all... rules and regulations that have been written over

855
00:51:37,545 --> 00:51:42,634
decades. and you know it's regulations these regulations these regulators

856
00:51:42,674 --> 00:51:46,368
coming now you can't do that It's toxic. Yeah. It

857
00:51:46,388 --> 00:51:52,312
gets into the groundwater. Exactly. And maybe Brooke Rollins, I

858
00:51:52,332 --> 00:51:55,107
think that's her name, our Ag Secretary, maybe she'll figure

859
00:51:55,148 --> 00:51:59,473
this out. But the media, and this is Fox. They

860
00:51:59,513 --> 00:52:01,686
still want to scare you. They want to scare the

861
00:52:01,746 --> 00:52:05,127
bejesus out of you. Now, how do we scare Americans?

862
00:52:05,547 --> 00:52:13,168
What's the best way? You're gonna die. No, even worse

863
00:52:13,249 --> 00:52:16,822
than you dying. Your children are going to die. No,

864
00:52:16,883 --> 00:52:21,504
worse than the kids. I don't know. Your dog! Let's

865
00:52:21,544 --> 00:52:23,634
talk about pets. There are a lot of dog owners

866
00:52:23,694 --> 00:52:25,523
out there, a lot of cat owners out there. Do

867
00:52:25,563 --> 00:52:27,693
they need to be worried? Can this impact their pets?

868
00:52:28,356 --> 00:52:32,172
Definitely. Especially if you're in an area. Definitely. I don't

869
00:52:32,192 --> 00:52:34,616
know if we have anybody listening from outside the United

870
00:52:34,636 --> 00:52:36,880
States, but if you're in an area, you definitely need

871
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:39,083
to be concerned if the screwworms have returned in that

872
00:52:39,163 --> 00:52:41,447
area. And in that area of Texas right now, we

873
00:52:41,467 --> 00:52:42,989
do want to watch our pets. We want to look

874
00:52:43,050 --> 00:52:45,053
at them just as much as we would our livestock

875
00:52:45,113 --> 00:52:48,919
because, yes, they will infest animals. Dogs seem to be.

876
00:52:48,899 --> 00:52:51,184
high on the list right now out of Mexico, not

877
00:52:51,204 --> 00:52:53,929
as high as cattle, but still over 5,000 have been

878
00:52:54,691 --> 00:52:57,777
identified as having infestations, and that's a large number. Is

879
00:52:57,857 --> 00:53:02,326
this, does it pose a threat to humans? Yes, even

880
00:53:02,346 --> 00:53:05,432
humans have to be concerned. It is rare in humans,

881
00:53:05,693 --> 00:53:07,516
and even rarer in birds. We get asked a lot

882
00:53:07,536 --> 00:53:10,482
about that too. Now it's like a 1% or so

883
00:53:10,582 --> 00:53:14,089
or less of the population of the cases they've recorded

884
00:53:14,129 --> 00:53:17,316
that impact humans. But we still, we want humans to

885
00:53:17,376 --> 00:53:20,642
be aware it is a possibility. I wouldn't put high

886
00:53:20,742 --> 00:53:23,247
on your list, but we still want them to realize

887
00:53:23,388 --> 00:53:27,897
that it is, it can happen. We've had cases of

888
00:53:27,997 --> 00:53:30,943
it over the last several days. decades of travelers going

889
00:53:31,004 --> 00:53:33,870
to places where they still can get into, where they

890
00:53:33,930 --> 00:53:35,935
still find New World's screw worms, and then coming back

891
00:53:36,015 --> 00:53:38,922
to the United States with infestations. Yeah, you should still

892
00:53:38,962 --> 00:53:41,107
be worried, no matter what you say. Be worried, be

893
00:53:41,127 --> 00:53:43,393
worried. You want to hear the CBS version of this,

894
00:53:43,433 --> 00:53:46,257
and we'll close it out? Yeah, and I'd be very

895
00:53:46,298 --> 00:53:49,155
interested to see if they use the Nat Pop style

896
00:53:49,195 --> 00:53:54,574
of... of analysis. We've been holding off the fly for

897
00:53:54,714 --> 00:53:59,041
years from Panama. Scientists developed a way in the 60s

898
00:53:59,442 --> 00:54:03,389
to breed sterile screw worm flies. Then when they would

899
00:54:03,489 --> 00:54:07,095
drop them out of airplanes, by the millions, the flies

900
00:54:07,155 --> 00:54:10,100
out in the wild were unable to reproduce. Using that

901
00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:14,088
strategy, they pushed this fly south, out of the United

902
00:54:14,148 --> 00:54:17,435
States, out of Mexico, all the way down through Central

903
00:54:17,475 --> 00:54:21,523
America, using that exact same strategy. During the pandemic, there

904
00:54:21,543 --> 00:54:24,469
were some breakdowns in the process and in surveillance. There

905
00:54:24,509 --> 00:54:27,475
was additional movement of people and animals to the north.

906
00:54:27,515 --> 00:54:31,504
People? The fly. What? The people with screwworms, come on.

907
00:54:31,524 --> 00:54:35,332
Screwworms started to spread again. And I rubbed against the

908
00:54:35,372 --> 00:54:38,498
cow and the cow got my screwworm. Once that became

909
00:54:38,579 --> 00:54:41,425
evident, the U.S. started devoting more resources to trying to

910
00:54:41,545 --> 00:54:46,315
stop it. They started to prepare a location in Mexico

911
00:54:46,355 --> 00:54:50,570
to breed more sterile flies. They prepared an old base

912
00:54:50,991 --> 00:54:53,375
in the South U.S. to be able to receive sterile

913
00:54:53,395 --> 00:54:55,358
flies and drop them again. And right now the work

914
00:54:55,398 --> 00:54:57,722
is ongoing to try to breed sterile flies again in

915
00:54:58,483 --> 00:55:01,729
the U.S. That in itself is significant. Researchers have told

916
00:55:01,769 --> 00:55:03,632
me that the flies considered to be so dangerous, they

917
00:55:03,912 --> 00:55:05,875
can't even get their hands on live samples. They've had

918
00:55:05,915 --> 00:55:10,313
to go south to Panama. to study them. They were

919
00:55:10,353 --> 00:55:14,613
all over the place. Nah, this is bogus. So, do

920
00:55:14,633 --> 00:55:16,904
you know who got money to do this? This is

921
00:55:16,924 --> 00:55:20,489
going to kill you. What company in America, amongst many

922
00:55:20,570 --> 00:55:25,548
others, got money to do the sterile fly, the sterile

923
00:55:25,588 --> 00:55:31,884
mosquito, the sterile ticks. Bill Gates. Now, we already know

924
00:55:31,985 --> 00:55:37,024
he does. No, Google. Google. Google, yes. Oh, yeah. You

925
00:55:37,064 --> 00:55:39,215
know what? I did know this because I saw this

926
00:55:39,275 --> 00:55:44,834
run past the wire. Yep. Google. Yeah, Google. How does

927
00:55:45,298 --> 00:55:49,412
that even work? Say Kessler. Go, yeah, right? Why don't

928
00:55:49,452 --> 00:55:53,784
you go make your AI better, Google? If these flies

929
00:55:54,024 --> 00:55:58,677
impact the ability of ranchers to have calves, they have

930
00:55:58,717 --> 00:56:01,544
to limit the seasons because they can't have calves in

931
00:56:01,584 --> 00:56:05,470
the warm season when the fly is active. That starts

932
00:56:05,551 --> 00:56:07,971
to impact how much they're able to rebuild their herds.

933
00:56:07,991 --> 00:56:11,427
There you go. It impacts. the ability of wildlife to

934
00:56:11,467 --> 00:56:14,793
survive. And yes, in some cases, it could impact pets

935
00:56:14,993 --> 00:56:18,821
and people. There's been surveillance ongoing for months and months

936
00:56:18,961 --> 00:56:22,227
and months. State and federal agencies have been training on

937
00:56:22,287 --> 00:56:24,371
where to watch for the fly, how to trap it,

938
00:56:24,932 --> 00:56:28,728
how to recognize it. They have been developing therapeutics. and

939
00:56:29,069 --> 00:56:33,943
treatments and hope that once it was here they could

940
00:56:33,983 --> 00:56:36,971
get on it right away but now it is called

941
00:56:36,992 --> 00:56:40,702
Melithia across the border it's about a hundred miles southwest

942
00:56:41,304 --> 00:56:44,841
of San Antonio And the battle is now not just

943
00:56:44,881 --> 00:56:50,455
something that scientists are expecting to happen. It is here.

944
00:56:50,475 --> 00:56:53,423
It's here. San Antone. Like, I could have screwworm at

945
00:56:53,443 --> 00:56:57,234
any moment. You could. You probably do. I was wondering

946
00:56:57,254 --> 00:57:01,092
about that itch. I got a screwworm. This is, uh,

947
00:57:01,395 --> 00:57:05,864
yeah, this is bad. And, uh... Okay, we'll see. We'll

948
00:57:05,884 --> 00:57:11,030
see what Brooke does. Nothing. I'm afraid you're right. The

949
00:57:11,050 --> 00:57:13,220
whole thing's an op. Well, it is an op. It's

950
00:57:13,260 --> 00:57:17,537
an op to collapse the herd even further. Yeah, well,

951
00:57:17,577 --> 00:57:19,364
they don't want people eating meat. We had a couple

952
00:57:19,404 --> 00:57:21,010
of clips. Then we played that clip where the guy

953
00:57:21,030 --> 00:57:24,904
says we've got to poison the public with Alpha Gal

954
00:57:25,888 --> 00:57:28,317
so people stop eating beef. Well, that's an old clip.

955
00:57:28,337 --> 00:57:30,395
Save the planet. Yeah, that is an old clip of

956
00:57:30,455 --> 00:57:33,083
that guy. I know it's an old clip, but that's...

957
00:57:33,919 --> 00:57:38,584
What's new? Yeah. Yep. So. We're just going to continue

958
00:57:38,624 --> 00:57:41,812
eating our Texas beef. Straight from the rancher. That's where

959
00:57:41,853 --> 00:57:45,618
you want to get it. So I got a couple

960
00:57:45,658 --> 00:57:50,617
of oddball clips today. Okay. I would like to get

961
00:57:50,738 --> 00:57:57,474
some non-oddball clips. It turns out that the... Ukraine attacks

962
00:57:57,534 --> 00:58:02,340
St. Petersburg as we played last Thursday, but they did

963
00:58:02,420 --> 00:58:05,469
it again on Saturday, and everybody's making it sound like

964
00:58:05,489 --> 00:58:08,137
this was the first attack, when it's obviously not, since

965
00:58:08,177 --> 00:58:12,686
we report. or played clips from NTD last show. And

966
00:58:12,786 --> 00:58:16,654
Russia has suffered what it's called an unprecedented attack on

967
00:58:16,694 --> 00:58:20,482
the city of St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas. Ukraine

968
00:58:20,522 --> 00:58:24,169
fired hundreds of drones at Russian targets early on Saturday,

969
00:58:24,310 --> 00:58:28,718
and many of those drones targeted St. Petersburg itself, coinciding

970
00:58:28,759 --> 00:58:32,095
with the... final day of a flagship economic forum being

971
00:58:32,135 --> 00:58:36,241
held in the city. Moscow and Kiev have intensified drone

972
00:58:36,301 --> 00:58:40,106
strikes on each other in recent months amid US-led diplomatic

973
00:58:40,267 --> 00:58:43,511
efforts to end the war. But does this latest attack

974
00:58:43,671 --> 00:58:48,698
risk escalating the conflict? Our correspondent in Kiev, Vitaly Shevchenko,

975
00:58:48,718 --> 00:58:52,796
told me more. The Ukrainians are saying that they hit

976
00:58:53,457 --> 00:58:58,584
a weapons storage facility, a navy base and an oil

977
00:58:58,724 --> 00:59:05,734
depot outside St. Petersburg. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, called

978
00:59:05,814 --> 00:59:11,904
the attack a just response to... Russia's aggression. The Russian

979
00:59:11,944 --> 00:59:17,616
authorities say that this was an unprecedented strike. The governor

980
00:59:17,957 --> 00:59:24,129
of Leningrad region said that hundreds of people were evacuated

981
00:59:24,149 --> 00:59:30,064
from outside a military facility which caught fire. So a

982
00:59:30,285 --> 00:59:34,212
pretty big incident in St. Petersburg. And were there any

983
00:59:34,272 --> 00:59:38,520
deaths or any injuries? The local authorities are sort of

984
00:59:38,540 --> 00:59:42,026
vague on that subject. They're talking of a number of

985
00:59:42,107 --> 00:59:47,817
people injured. They say the damage to buildings in the

986
00:59:47,958 --> 00:59:54,049
area is... insignificant but i've seen videos of smoke billowing

987
00:59:54,611 --> 00:59:59,600
outside in biedersberg and there's one video of a man

988
00:59:59,681 --> 01:00:02,426
who appears to be a local resident and he says

989
01:00:02,466 --> 01:00:06,233
that weapon stores have caught fire and you can hear

990
01:00:06,253 --> 01:00:09,908
a lot of explosions happening in the background Was there

991
01:00:09,948 --> 01:00:12,472
any video with this report? Or did they just say

992
01:00:12,532 --> 01:00:14,816
that there's smoke and weapons deposed? This is the BBC

993
01:00:14,856 --> 01:00:16,980
World Service, so I didn't get to see any videos.

994
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,023
Oh, okay. I don't hear any nat pops. I don't

995
01:00:19,043 --> 01:00:21,286
hear any explosions. The BBC World Service, they don't do

996
01:00:21,367 --> 01:00:24,512
that. They should. If they want to stay relevant, they

997
01:00:24,572 --> 01:00:26,915
need to do nat pops. Get on board, BBC. Well,

998
01:00:26,935 --> 01:00:29,319
you know, they're still from the old shortwave days. and

999
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:30,805
they know if they did a nat pop it would

1000
01:00:30,865 --> 01:00:34,780
sound like interference on the wireless. This is the BBC

1001
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,831
World Service. We have no nat pops. We have a...

1002
01:00:38,379 --> 01:00:40,707
from a guy on the street who said, "I heard

1003
01:00:40,768 --> 01:00:48,452
some explosions." That's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah. I'm

1004
01:00:48,472 --> 01:00:53,711
a shortwave listener. You can't find anything anymore. On shortwave?

1005
01:00:54,195 --> 01:00:58,636
It's pretty hard to come by. And, you know, it's

1006
01:00:59,077 --> 01:01:01,244
kind of pathetic compared to what it was when you

1007
01:01:01,264 --> 01:01:03,530
were a kid. Yeah. So let's go and play part

1008
01:01:03,571 --> 01:01:08,193
two of this. We had long waves. You had medium

1009
01:01:08,233 --> 01:01:13,138
wave, which is AM. They had long wave. And Longwave

1010
01:01:13,199 --> 01:01:18,233
was what... *Sigh* Was it, what was the thing in

1011
01:01:18,313 --> 01:01:21,664
Luxembourg? Radio Luxembourg. Yeah, a lot of these stations weren't

1012
01:01:21,765 --> 01:01:24,515
long, but it was always called shortwave. No, no, you

1013
01:01:24,556 --> 01:01:27,065
had... I mean, the receiver was called a shortwave receiver.

1014
01:01:27,326 --> 01:01:30,539
Yeah, but... Yeah, it had longwave. It had longwave. LW.

1015
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:34,013
LW. Your band on there said LW. Yes, yes, that

1016
01:01:34,053 --> 01:01:39,887
was great. And you had a switch. Oh, now I'm

1017
01:01:39,908 --> 01:01:42,687
on long wave. Hey, and you know what you hear?

1018
01:01:44,387 --> 01:01:51,583
I'm ready, Alexander! Long way! Yeah, you would get a

1019
01:01:51,643 --> 01:01:54,998
lot of that wave sound. That's what we grew up

1020
01:01:55,038 --> 01:01:57,811
with, kids. That's what we grew up with. Next, I'll

1021
01:01:57,831 --> 01:01:59,920
do the modem sound of a dial-up. All right, here

1022
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:03,376
we go. How did Ukraine manage to get their drones

1023
01:02:03,537 --> 01:02:08,142
so far into Russian territory again? Well, I've spoken to

1024
01:02:08,162 --> 01:02:14,472
the commander of one of the Ukrainian drone units involved

1025
01:02:14,532 --> 01:02:19,444
in the strike. And he basically told me that Russian

1026
01:02:19,524 --> 01:02:23,754
air defenses were useless. We take part in many operations

1027
01:02:24,015 --> 01:02:28,185
in the north region of Russia. And it's very interesting

1028
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:35,592
that in these days... Keep those balls. Is there a

1029
01:02:35,733 --> 01:02:49,919
fear, Vitaly, that given the potential humiliation that Russia has

1030
01:02:49,939 --> 01:03:12,886
suffered, Thank you. accusing each other of carrying out all

1031
01:03:12,966 --> 01:03:17,074
sorts of atrocities and saying, well, look, we have to

1032
01:03:17,134 --> 01:03:22,926
respond. But my view is that this is basically political

1033
01:03:23,046 --> 01:03:28,758
rhetoric. And the truth is that all these attacks, they

1034
01:03:28,818 --> 01:03:34,141
would be hampered. happening anyway because for different reasons Ukraine

1035
01:03:34,342 --> 01:03:38,159
and Russia are still willing and able to fight foreign

1036
01:03:39,091 --> 01:03:43,264
You know... They went on forever, by the way. You

1037
01:03:43,284 --> 01:03:45,758
should thank me for stopping it there. Yes, in my

1038
01:03:45,858 --> 01:03:48,895
view, in my view. That's the point. That's why I

1039
01:03:48,915 --> 01:03:51,654
had to stop it. So this has resulted in a

1040
01:03:51,734 --> 01:03:55,279
powwow. The French, German and British leaders will meet their

1041
01:03:55,399 --> 01:04:00,247
Ukrainian counterpart in London on Sunday. French President Emmanuel Macron,

1042
01:04:00,387 --> 01:04:04,132
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer

1043
01:04:04,613 --> 01:04:07,838
will discuss with Zelensky the way forwards at a time

1044
01:04:07,898 --> 01:04:11,173
when Russia... in a state of military, economic and strategic

1045
01:04:11,253 --> 01:04:15,763
failure, is persisting unsuccessfully with a deadly war, the Élysée

1046
01:04:15,783 --> 01:04:20,333
Palace said. On Friday, Macron welcomed the letter from Volodymyr

1047
01:04:20,353 --> 01:04:24,302
Zelensky to Vladimir Putin aimed at achieving peace. So he

1048
01:04:24,322 --> 01:04:28,374
sent a letter. sent a letter. A curse letter. Do

1049
01:04:28,415 --> 01:04:31,627
they really? Do they still send letters? Yeah, a turd.

1050
01:04:31,647 --> 01:04:34,375
But I mean, seriously, do they, like with a big

1051
01:04:34,837 --> 01:04:37,284
wax seal on it? I mean, do they really send

1052
01:04:37,344 --> 01:04:40,373
letters? Well, Trump keeps saying he's waiting for a letter.

1053
01:04:40,433 --> 01:04:46,845
From who? From the Iranians. Oh, yeah. I got a...

1054
01:04:47,086 --> 01:04:50,058
It's funny you bring that up. I've got... I got

1055
01:04:50,226 --> 01:04:56,480
to. A clip from Toosie, your guy, Toosie. Toosie? Remember

1056
01:04:56,500 --> 01:05:02,508
Toosie? Toosie? Toosie. T-O-U-S-I. The YouTuber guy. The Toosie guy

1057
01:05:02,568 --> 01:05:05,224
who... who we suspect might be a spook, but we're

1058
01:05:05,244 --> 01:05:08,411
not quite sure. Oh yeah, right. He does all the

1059
01:05:08,492 --> 01:05:12,090
Iranian news. And so he shows... All these videos, because,

1060
01:05:12,130 --> 01:05:15,177
you know, the Internet is back open. So IRGC decided,

1061
01:05:15,197 --> 01:05:17,643
okay, everybody's got Internet now. We'll turn it back on.

1062
01:05:17,683 --> 01:05:24,332
And there's tons of videos of protests, students protesting. interesting

1063
01:05:24,393 --> 01:05:30,163
to watch because what you don't see is There's almost

1064
01:05:30,183 --> 01:05:33,451
no headscarves. All the girls just got their hair flapping

1065
01:05:33,471 --> 01:05:36,358
in the wind or tied up in a bun. Persian

1066
01:05:36,418 --> 01:05:41,868
women, they actually are attractive. Very. Oh, sometimes they get

1067
01:05:41,909 --> 01:05:45,964
thick ankles. Well, you know, it's... I'm just saying. It's

1068
01:05:45,984 --> 01:05:51,360
the food. you That's only when we're auditioning Persian women,

1069
01:05:51,401 --> 01:05:54,139
okay? That's the context in which we say this as

1070
01:05:54,602 --> 01:05:58,243
producers. So he had a little report, which I figured

1071
01:05:58,283 --> 01:06:01,896
I'd share. Doing protests against the Islamic occupation is quite

1072
01:06:01,936 --> 01:06:07,295
dangerous, as you've also seen back in December and January.

1073
01:06:07,315 --> 01:06:11,465
Having said that... The regime is getting weaker every day

1074
01:06:11,525 --> 01:06:14,592
because thanks to President Trump and the US military because

1075
01:06:14,652 --> 01:06:18,881
the President Trump has not abandoned the mission as you've

1076
01:06:18,921 --> 01:06:21,666
seen over the last couple of months and few weeks

1077
01:06:21,907 --> 01:06:25,534
the US military continues their operation against the regime in

1078
01:06:25,554 --> 01:06:28,340
the Strait of Hormuz the blockade continues There have been

1079
01:06:28,380 --> 01:06:30,945
some clashes, but of course the blockade is doing its

1080
01:06:31,025 --> 01:06:35,815
job, draining the resources, draining the finances of the regime,

1081
01:06:35,855 --> 01:06:39,923
creating uncertainty and infighting inside the regime. And that's why

1082
01:06:39,963 --> 01:06:43,410
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are trying their best to

1083
01:06:43,510 --> 01:06:46,336
drag the Americans and everybody else and the Arabs into

1084
01:06:46,376 --> 01:06:47,759
an all-out war because it's in the interest of the

1085
01:06:47,779 --> 01:06:49,804
people. of the regime in Iran to have an all-out

1086
01:06:49,824 --> 01:06:51,730
war because at least it will create unity inside the

1087
01:06:51,750 --> 01:06:54,598
regime and they could just drag this along. But the

1088
01:06:54,898 --> 01:06:58,328
US decided not to take debate and continue to paralyze

1089
01:06:58,368 --> 01:07:00,694
the regime. And they don't know what to do right

1090
01:07:00,715 --> 01:07:03,922
now. If the US military had abandoned the mission, if

1091
01:07:03,962 --> 01:07:06,111
the US military and the US government had abandoned the

1092
01:07:06,172 --> 01:07:09,041
Iranian people, for example, obviously... The regime right now will

1093
01:07:09,081 --> 01:07:12,776
be strengthened massively. But right now, they can't. because the

1094
01:07:12,856 --> 01:07:16,106
US military is not stopping what they are doing and

1095
01:07:16,747 --> 01:07:19,936
President Trump is also not giving up. And he also,

1096
01:07:20,137 --> 01:07:23,426
he had many opportunities to sign a deal, give a

1097
01:07:23,466 --> 01:07:25,552
deal to the Islamic Republic and just get out of

1098
01:07:25,652 --> 01:07:28,019
it. He said, no, I'm not getting out of this.

1099
01:07:28,283 --> 01:07:34,320
And he's rejected every single deal sent from Tehran. Ah,

1100
01:07:34,361 --> 01:07:37,593
July 4th is just around the corner. You're going to

1101
01:07:37,633 --> 01:07:40,512
have to get it together. Premium was down 20 cents

1102
01:07:40,573 --> 01:07:45,554
here in Texas. I thought that was quite a drop,

1103
01:07:45,574 --> 01:07:48,263
actually. It should be down to nothing. Texas. This is

1104
01:07:48,283 --> 01:07:54,132
an oil producing state. Okay. Got it. You know, the

1105
01:07:54,313 --> 01:07:59,196
oil baron, he's reopening wells they previously capped. He says

1106
01:07:59,237 --> 01:08:03,219
there's so much demand right now. They have 1,500 wells

1107
01:08:03,260 --> 01:08:06,054
that they capped and they're opening them up again. He

1108
01:08:06,115 --> 01:08:09,789
says that right now... It used to cost, let me

1109
01:08:09,809 --> 01:08:13,387
see his number. It used to cost $28,000 a day

1110
01:08:13,407 --> 01:08:17,587
to operate a well. Now it's $38,000. He says, because

1111
01:08:17,668 --> 01:08:21,712
it's hard to get anybody. Let me get anybody. To

1112
01:08:21,773 --> 01:08:25,684
work. People to work. You can't get anybody to work?

1113
01:08:25,785 --> 01:08:30,765
They rift all these people. you know, reduction in force.

1114
01:08:30,785 --> 01:08:33,701
And now these people who were riffed, they're like, I

1115
01:08:33,721 --> 01:08:35,471
don't know, man, pay me some more. I'll come back.

1116
01:08:36,051 --> 01:08:38,256
That's how the oil business works. Well, that's the way

1117
01:08:38,276 --> 01:08:42,125
it should work. Yeah. You keep your employees or you

1118
01:08:42,166 --> 01:08:44,391
screw up with them and they're going to screw with

1119
01:08:44,431 --> 01:08:48,223
you. Come on. So then NPR had. I had this

1120
01:08:48,284 --> 01:08:56,468
woman on who wrote a book. Let's see. What's her

1121
01:08:56,529 --> 01:09:01,434
name? Yagane Torbati. She... who wrote the book Stolen Revolution.

1122
01:09:01,976 --> 01:09:03,803
And she kind of says the same thing, that things

1123
01:09:03,863 --> 01:09:06,393
are kind of groovy in Iran right now. I married

1124
01:09:06,433 --> 01:09:10,404
Louise Kelly. That country. I was just describing, it's Iran,

1125
01:09:10,665 --> 01:09:12,989
or at least Iran at the time of the 1979

1126
01:09:13,590 --> 01:09:17,979
revolution. The path from 1979 with the toppling of a

1127
01:09:18,140 --> 01:09:22,248
monarch through the decades of oppression and economic turmoil that

1128
01:09:22,368 --> 01:09:25,715
followed to this current moment is mapped out in the

1129
01:09:25,795 --> 01:09:31,246
book Stolen Revolution. trail and hope in modern Iran. Co-author

1130
01:09:31,326 --> 01:09:34,512
and journalist Yeganeh Torbati is here to talk to us

1131
01:09:34,612 --> 01:09:37,899
about it in this special episode of the podcast. We've

1132
01:09:37,939 --> 01:09:40,564
spent so much time here these last few months talking

1133
01:09:40,664 --> 01:09:44,252
about the current war in Iran. It felt worthwhile to

1134
01:09:44,292 --> 01:09:47,097
dig deep on Yeganeh's reporting on some of the forces

1135
01:09:47,137 --> 01:09:51,266
and people who brought Iran to this moment. Yeganeh Torbadi,

1136
01:09:51,286 --> 01:09:53,189
welcome. Thank you so much for having me. All right,

1137
01:09:53,209 --> 01:09:57,057
now listen to her report. You, in that same story,

1138
01:09:57,137 --> 01:10:01,987
though, write about a rock concert in Tehran that has

1139
01:10:02,047 --> 01:10:06,776
just sold out. Rock concert? Bruce Springsteen is playing Tehran?

1140
01:10:06,796 --> 01:10:09,905
Hipsters, young hipsters. Hipsters in Tehran who are still hanging

1141
01:10:09,986 --> 01:10:16,187
out at cafes and having fun. Hipsters, check the calendar.

1142
01:10:16,703 --> 01:10:21,960
Joy continues. Hope does continue even amidst a wider sense

1143
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,512
of hopelessness. Life goes on, you know. I think even

1144
01:10:25,532 --> 01:10:29,794
in people in war zones, figure out ways to have

1145
01:10:29,834 --> 01:10:31,997
those moments of joy because you sort of have to,

1146
01:10:32,017 --> 01:10:34,921
to keep going. And I do think, you know, my

1147
01:10:35,041 --> 01:10:37,565
job as a book author and my job as a

1148
01:10:37,605 --> 01:10:41,070
newspaper reporter can sometimes be a little bit intention because

1149
01:10:41,891 --> 01:10:45,396
reviewing all this history, I sort of got a sense

1150
01:10:45,436 --> 01:10:48,781
of like, nothing is permanent. Like things change. and movements

1151
01:10:48,841 --> 01:10:51,947
can arise out of nowhere and people learn to kind

1152
01:10:51,987 --> 01:10:54,312
of deal with things and maybe come up with solutions

1153
01:10:54,713 --> 01:10:58,881
and they manage to find ways to keep contesting power

1154
01:10:59,082 --> 01:11:02,549
and to keep asserting themselves over time. And so, you

1155
01:11:02,589 --> 01:11:04,172
know, for a news story, you kind of have to

1156
01:11:04,212 --> 01:11:07,619
like have an angle and a conclusion, but it's just

1157
01:11:07,639 --> 01:11:10,064
not. snapshot in time and in a year or in

1158
01:11:10,104 --> 01:11:12,328
five years we may look back and you know see

1159
01:11:12,388 --> 01:11:14,292
all of this as a prelude to something or kind

1160
01:11:14,432 --> 01:11:17,238
of be able to identify the threads that then led

1161
01:11:17,278 --> 01:11:20,164
to something bigger and we sort of have to be

1162
01:11:20,204 --> 01:11:23,250
patient and also keep keep watching I think so the

1163
01:11:23,310 --> 01:11:26,436
hipsters are doing rock concerts in Tehran how much of

1164
01:11:26,537 --> 01:11:30,695
a war is this This woman, something's phony about her.

1165
01:11:31,056 --> 01:11:33,400
She does a laugh tell before she uses the word

1166
01:11:33,540 --> 01:11:37,928
book author. I'm a book. That's a fair point. Then

1167
01:11:37,968 --> 01:11:40,513
she uses a laugh tell in front of the word.

1168
01:11:40,914 --> 01:11:46,123
I should have written it down, but another key word.

1169
01:11:46,863 --> 01:11:50,862
Yeah, fair. Halfway through. Fair. That's fair. So I guess

1170
01:11:50,882 --> 01:11:54,334
she's a spook. This is a bullcrap book. There's no

1171
01:11:54,475 --> 01:11:56,924
rock concerts going on. I mean, maybe there are. Yeah,

1172
01:11:57,185 --> 01:11:59,212
I think the rock concerts. There might be, but I

1173
01:11:59,252 --> 01:12:01,921
don't think, I think this is going to be. It's

1174
01:12:02,001 --> 01:12:05,120
just not presented correctly. They're making it sound like, oh,

1175
01:12:05,140 --> 01:12:07,897
don't worry about it. That's how I took it. Don't

1176
01:12:07,917 --> 01:12:11,698
worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about

1177
01:12:11,719 --> 01:12:15,928
it, it's all good. So we are on the eve

1178
01:12:15,948 --> 01:12:23,331
of something pretty big. these big IPOs. the tech IPOs.

1179
01:12:23,975 --> 01:12:29,057
You mean after the crash on Friday? The AI crash

1180
01:12:29,138 --> 01:12:32,522
on Friday? Yeah. You think these IPOs are going to

1181
01:12:32,583 --> 01:12:36,860
come off? Yeah, I think they will. They got to

1182
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:38,873
go. But here's the thing. Let me see if I

1183
01:12:38,914 --> 01:12:44,516
can find this. The thing that is rather concerning... Is

1184
01:12:44,697 --> 01:12:48,009
this. For the general public. If you think about your

1185
01:12:48,129 --> 01:12:51,194
average investor, a lot of them are passive investors. You

1186
01:12:51,214 --> 01:12:54,479
look at your 401k, your retirement accounts, you're probably plugged

1187
01:12:54,539 --> 01:12:57,084
into some sort of an index fund. So you don't

1188
01:12:57,144 --> 01:12:59,588
have to go and be a stock picker. You can

1189
01:12:59,608 --> 01:13:03,033
just sit back and collect money that's growing within these

1190
01:13:03,113 --> 01:13:06,719
major indexes. So the rules have changed a little bit.

1191
01:13:06,791 --> 01:13:10,736
for these listing places like the NASDAQ for the New

1192
01:13:10,757 --> 01:13:15,143
York Stock Exchange. Before, when these companies debuted, there was

1193
01:13:15,163 --> 01:13:17,927
a waiting period around three months before they were included

1194
01:13:18,087 --> 01:13:21,011
in these index funds. Now, as little as two weeks

1195
01:13:21,051 --> 01:13:25,417
later, these massive companies with unproven financial models can now

1196
01:13:25,497 --> 01:13:28,402
be added to the index. funds. And typically when you

1197
01:13:28,442 --> 01:13:31,488
see a company debut, the first day of trading is

1198
01:13:31,528 --> 01:13:34,033
very volatile. The first few weeks of trading are very

1199
01:13:34,094 --> 01:13:38,302
volatile because people are trying to price what the value

1200
01:13:38,502 --> 01:13:42,010
is of this particular company. So now that these companies

1201
01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:44,555
like your open AIs, your SpaceXs, that they can be

1202
01:13:44,615 --> 01:13:47,902
included. Your open AIs, your space. X's? Is there more

1203
01:13:47,942 --> 01:13:52,353
than one space X? Your space X's? This is bad

1204
01:13:52,393 --> 01:13:55,962
reporting. Particular company. I can give you some other examples

1205
01:13:56,023 --> 01:13:59,221
of why it's bad reporting when you're done. Okay. The

1206
01:13:59,261 --> 01:14:02,852
way she presents it is bullcrap. What do you mean?

1207
01:14:04,647 --> 01:14:07,665
It's not like, oh, now you can. Now the indexes

1208
01:14:07,705 --> 01:14:10,460
can pick them up after two weeks. They have to

1209
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,691
pick them up after two weeks if they're in the

1210
01:14:12,792 --> 01:14:17,620
index. If it's allowed, this is a scam. We talked

1211
01:14:17,660 --> 01:14:21,388
about this on DH. Okay, good. What did you conclude?

1212
01:14:21,929 --> 01:14:28,307
To conclude this was another beautiful ploy. by Elon. To

1213
01:14:28,388 --> 01:14:32,617
change the moment where the index fund has to bring

1214
01:14:32,697 --> 01:14:35,323
this, you know, instead of letting the stock settle out,

1215
01:14:35,343 --> 01:14:37,287
you know, it comes out, goes up and down and

1216
01:14:37,327 --> 01:14:38,730
up and down. Who knows what it's going to do?

1217
01:14:38,750 --> 01:14:43,525
You don't know. You really don't know. Instead of waiting

1218
01:14:43,586 --> 01:14:45,960
for it to go through the normal process. and then

1219
01:14:46,060 --> 01:14:48,645
putting it in the index fund. And it's a big

1220
01:14:48,745 --> 01:14:50,489
part of the index fund, which means you've got to

1221
01:14:50,529 --> 01:14:52,894
bring a lot of, you've got to buy a bunch

1222
01:14:52,934 --> 01:14:55,960
of stock because the index funds have to own the

1223
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,864
stock. So they have to buy a bunch of stock

1224
01:14:58,124 --> 01:15:00,549
instead of having to let it go through its rigmarole.

1225
01:15:00,950 --> 01:15:04,076
It artificially crops it up because it has to buy

1226
01:15:04,116 --> 01:15:07,676
it right away. a scam and it should be pointed

1227
01:15:07,757 --> 01:15:12,330
out as not a scam illegally it's just another elon

1228
01:15:12,430 --> 01:15:17,945
musk beautiful the guy's a genius well they're all gonna

1229
01:15:17,986 --> 01:15:19,931
get in i mean if they all have this level

1230
01:15:21,055 --> 01:15:23,498
all of them will have to be, will be, not

1231
01:15:23,599 --> 01:15:25,193
have to be, all of them will be pulled into

1232
01:15:25,234 --> 01:15:28,164
the index. They have to be. It's by the rules

1233
01:15:28,224 --> 01:15:31,891
of the fund. So, okay. So you're going to have

1234
01:15:31,951 --> 01:15:34,716
a bunch. In other words, this could be the beginning

1235
01:15:34,756 --> 01:15:37,361
of the end. This could bring down the whole thing.

1236
01:15:37,381 --> 01:15:42,151
You don't know. There's more and more crazy stuff going

1237
01:15:42,251 --> 01:15:46,018
on asking for a major correction. So there's something else

1238
01:15:46,098 --> 01:15:48,498
I learned. from a friend of mine who works at

1239
01:15:48,518 --> 01:15:52,353
an accounting company. Not the anonymous gay guy, but he'll

1240
01:15:52,393 --> 01:15:54,843
probably weigh in. He still listens. I know he does.

1241
01:15:55,295 --> 01:15:58,247
I always hope so. Oh, no, he texts me all

1242
01:15:58,287 --> 01:16:01,258
the time. No, he never texts me. Well, the anonymous

1243
01:16:01,339 --> 01:16:05,053
gay accountant, of course, texted me about testosterone. Hello, I

1244
01:16:05,716 --> 01:16:09,601
mean. He was the first one to text me. What

1245
01:16:09,621 --> 01:16:14,128
did he say? It's great, and you got to get

1246
01:16:14,268 --> 01:16:18,660
on these peptides. I'm ripped. That's what he said. Peptide.

1247
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,528
I'm ripped. You should have put him. I'll bet he

1248
01:16:21,548 --> 01:16:25,827
is. Of course he is. My son found one. The

1249
01:16:25,867 --> 01:16:29,493
Wolverine. Everyone's talking about the Wolverine package, baby. Is that

1250
01:16:29,513 --> 01:16:31,757
the one that brings your muscles up and they can

1251
01:16:31,797 --> 01:16:35,904
get as big as pot? You can turn into literally

1252
01:16:35,964 --> 01:16:39,450
a monster by working out once a month. Yes, it's

1253
01:16:39,490 --> 01:16:43,176
the Wolverine. It's like two peptides. And please don't email

1254
01:16:43,196 --> 01:16:45,284
me. I have everything I need to know. And you

1255
01:16:45,304 --> 01:16:48,556
know what I'm going to do? Absolutely nothing. I would

1256
01:16:48,937 --> 01:16:53,013
avoid it like the plague. I got some feedback from

1257
01:16:53,113 --> 01:16:57,330
a PhD as well. Anyway. So a lot of these,

1258
01:16:57,693 --> 01:17:02,261
what they call the hyperscalers. which includes Google. They have

1259
01:17:02,341 --> 01:17:06,146
switched from stock options to RSI. use. Are you familiar

1260
01:17:06,187 --> 01:17:10,463
with this? It's like revenue service units. No, I'm not

1261
01:17:10,483 --> 01:17:14,072
familiar with them. So as an accounting thing, they switched

1262
01:17:14,152 --> 01:17:19,406
everybody to RSUs. So it's all about accounting. Yeah, everything's

1263
01:17:19,426 --> 01:17:23,195
about accounting. Every single time an RSU employee cashes out.

1264
01:17:23,711 --> 01:17:26,806
The company has to sell stock to cover it, which

1265
01:17:26,887 --> 01:17:29,578
pushes the stock price down. So then, of course, they

1266
01:17:29,618 --> 01:17:31,747
have to do stock buybacks to keep the price up.

1267
01:17:32,583 --> 01:17:38,723
It's like a treadmill. And Google is raising $80 billion.

1268
01:17:39,623 --> 01:17:44,782
For their AI. Well. If you look at the... In

1269
01:17:44,823 --> 01:17:48,765
fact, Reuters wrote about it. 40 million of that is

1270
01:17:48,845 --> 01:17:53,843
going towards compensation of employees who are cashing in their

1271
01:17:53,984 --> 01:18:02,583
RSUs. 40 billion of it. So. The theory is... that

1272
01:18:02,604 --> 01:18:06,921
these big tech companies so I mean, they so need

1273
01:18:07,083 --> 01:18:11,011
AI to succeed. because their wealth at this point is

1274
01:18:11,112 --> 01:18:14,831
really on paper. They got to spend all this CapEx

1275
01:18:14,953 --> 01:18:19,826
on AI. And these employees, you know, they they cash

1276
01:18:19,947 --> 01:18:25,469
out, boom, legally. Every time an RSU employee cashes out,

1277
01:18:25,510 --> 01:18:30,353
they have to withhold 22% upfront. That's a lot of

1278
01:18:30,374 --> 01:18:34,788
money. So there's something going on that is not well

1279
01:18:34,949 --> 01:18:39,584
in Silicon Valley with Google of all companies. They were

1280
01:18:39,684 --> 01:18:44,919
printing money. And somehow now this whole AI thing has.

1281
01:18:44,959 --> 01:18:48,350
is screwing everybody's numbers up. So yeah, you better believe

1282
01:18:48,431 --> 01:18:52,634
it has to be successful. A note from a dude

1283
01:18:52,694 --> 01:18:55,440
named Ben who works at Microsoft. We've been told to

1284
01:18:55,921 --> 01:18:59,288
use AI for everything that has resulted in a lot

1285
01:18:59,328 --> 01:19:03,637
of token maxing. This is the big term in Silicon

1286
01:19:03,677 --> 01:19:07,385
Valley. Token maxing, here's your tokens, you gotta use them

1287
01:19:07,465 --> 01:19:10,394
all. I work in C++ and I've had to review

1288
01:19:10,435 --> 01:19:14,140
code that was complete slop. Amongst my co-workers, we keep

1289
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,749
talking about how much this is actually costing us, and

1290
01:19:16,810 --> 01:19:19,760
no one knows. We're told, hey, now is the golden

1291
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,727
age, so use as much as you can before it

1292
01:19:21,868 --> 01:19:24,296
ends. I think everyone knows there's going to be a

1293
01:19:24,437 --> 01:19:26,346
limit on it eventually. but we don't know how much.

1294
01:19:26,909 --> 01:19:28,739
The other thing to note is that AI use is

1295
01:19:28,780 --> 01:19:33,017
just tracked and factored into promotions and bonuses. This is

1296
01:19:33,078 --> 01:19:36,637
what leads to token maxing. So you have to show

1297
01:19:36,697 --> 01:19:39,171
that you're really productive by using a lot of tokens.

1298
01:19:39,943 --> 01:19:44,363
um this is crazy that's a good one um I

1299
01:19:44,403 --> 01:19:46,889
don't think AI coding is going anywhere. The models have

1300
01:19:46,929 --> 01:19:49,375
gotten a lot better. However, it can be really frustrating

1301
01:19:49,435 --> 01:19:52,382
to work with them. Sometimes they can implement features really

1302
01:19:52,422 --> 01:19:54,707
well. It's fantastic. It's like a slot machine. Yes, is

1303
01:19:54,747 --> 01:19:57,754
what I've noticed too. I hope they get better, but

1304
01:19:57,954 --> 01:20:00,340
I hope they get better for things I really need

1305
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,547
to understand. For now, I'm writing all my code myself.

1306
01:20:04,703 --> 01:20:08,692
So now enter the big problem that we've been talking

1307
01:20:08,772 --> 01:20:12,139
about, which is the data center to the desktop. And

1308
01:20:12,219 --> 01:20:17,410
CNBC had, what's this guy's name? Patel, of course, Indian

1309
01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:25,689
dude. He is the... President of Cisco. Cisco and of

1310
01:20:25,769 --> 01:20:30,618
course Cisco wants to sell routers and and switches and

1311
01:20:30,698 --> 01:20:32,842
stuff for traffic So the guys were kind of full

1312
01:20:32,902 --> 01:20:36,228
of crap, but what he's saying here. I think is

1313
01:20:36,328 --> 01:20:42,235
very relevant. Hey, just imagine that Employees in the company

1314
01:20:42,295 --> 01:20:45,623
use about $200 worth of tokens every week. 50 weeks

1315
01:20:45,643 --> 01:20:49,390
a year, that's 10,000 bucks. um in tokens uh you

1316
01:20:49,410 --> 01:20:51,815
have 40 000 employees that's 400 million dollars you have

1317
01:20:51,835 --> 01:20:54,380
90 000 employees that's 900 million dollars that wasn't really

1318
01:20:54,601 --> 01:20:57,987
starting price can you say that again slowly 200 dollars

1319
01:20:58,268 --> 01:21:00,833
per week okay that doesn't seem like it doesn't seem

1320
01:21:00,873 --> 01:21:03,919
like it's crazy right trying to think of my my

1321
01:21:03,927 --> 01:21:06,511
open claw bell you probably use more than that deidre

1322
01:21:06,852 --> 01:21:09,015
you'd be a very expensive i guess it gets shut

1323
01:21:09,175 --> 01:21:11,499
off and i'm like i gotta re-up it okay so

1324
01:21:11,519 --> 01:21:15,546
200 a week and then you multiply that at how

1325
01:21:15,566 --> 01:21:17,649
many 50 weeks yeah let's say you take two weeks

1326
01:21:17,749 --> 01:21:20,053
off right a year you maybe take four weeks it's

1327
01:21:20,073 --> 01:21:23,218
48 weeks roughly it's 10 000 bucks a year and

1328
01:21:23,458 --> 01:21:26,244
right per employee per employee and so that we have

1329
01:21:26,304 --> 01:21:30,232
90 000 employees so now we have the problem for

1330
01:21:30,272 --> 01:21:34,119
these ai frontier model companies like open ai anthropic and

1331
01:21:34,480 --> 01:21:39,089
to a degree uh spacex ai element op model routing

1332
01:21:39,209 --> 01:21:42,055
what about model routing i feel like this week everyone's

1333
01:21:42,115 --> 01:21:44,482
talking about that and it makes a lot of sense

1334
01:21:44,502 --> 01:21:46,918
like you can just see the numbers it costs you

1335
01:21:46,939 --> 01:21:51,906
25 for an output on cloud opus under a dollar

1336
01:21:52,568 --> 01:21:54,974
for the same output on DeepSeq. Are you guys utilizing

1337
01:21:55,115 --> 01:21:58,284
that? Absolutely. We actually have three models ourselves. We have

1338
01:21:58,344 --> 01:22:02,255
a deep network model. We have a foundation security model

1339
01:22:02,275 --> 01:22:05,082
that we've open sourced. And we've got a time series

1340
01:22:05,142 --> 01:22:09,030
model. We just also got another model for observability. And

1341
01:22:09,070 --> 01:22:11,876
we demoed that on stage that, you know, if it

1342
01:22:11,916 --> 01:22:16,104
takes 12 cents for token costs that you would have

1343
01:22:16,144 --> 01:22:19,291
for a certain task, you could take out 95% of

1344
01:22:19,331 --> 01:22:21,475
the costs if you actually go with the local model.

1345
01:22:21,796 --> 01:22:24,233
Local? That's a small model. But what you have to

1346
01:22:24,293 --> 01:22:26,297
do is you have to have an intelligent routing layer

1347
01:22:26,397 --> 01:22:28,982
that says for these prompts and these tasks, I'm going

1348
01:22:29,002 --> 01:22:30,725
to go over here. And for these other tasks, I'm

1349
01:22:30,765 --> 01:22:32,409
probably going to be able to go to something cheaper.

1350
01:22:32,830 --> 01:22:35,375
So I'll get back to that in one second, only

1351
01:22:35,395 --> 01:22:40,072
two more clips, because this term. came up. Two weeks

1352
01:22:40,152 --> 01:22:43,419
ago, I'd never heard it before, and it's back, Jevons...

1353
01:22:43,555 --> 01:22:47,604
paradox. What does that mean for premium price AI? I

1354
01:22:47,624 --> 01:22:49,228
mean, there's always going to be a place for them,

1355
01:22:49,288 --> 01:22:51,693
right? But is it going to be growing as quickly

1356
01:22:51,733 --> 01:22:53,838
as we've seen over the last few years? I think

1357
01:22:53,878 --> 01:22:57,967
there's Jevons paradox that's going to be like constantly on

1358
01:22:58,007 --> 01:23:00,553
supercharge right now. The lower the price goes, like the

1359
01:23:00,914 --> 01:23:03,821
biggest risk we have as an industry. is if this

1360
01:23:03,881 --> 01:23:08,800
gets too expensive where the cost of tokens is disproportionately

1361
01:23:08,860 --> 01:23:11,611
higher than the value it generates, then people pull back.

1362
01:23:11,967 --> 01:23:14,435
So actually, the cost per token going down is better

1363
01:23:14,495 --> 01:23:16,983
for the model providers because when the cost goes down,

1364
01:23:17,063 --> 01:23:20,333
people use it more, but your value is actually commensurate

1365
01:23:20,353 --> 01:23:22,058
to what you're paying per token. Let me push back

1366
01:23:22,118 --> 01:23:24,644
on that. point. We actually don't know if the value

1367
01:23:24,764 --> 01:23:26,989
is commensurate. And that's what... No, I'm saying it's not

1368
01:23:27,049 --> 01:23:30,035
right now. Right. Yeah. So if it's not, and if

1369
01:23:30,095 --> 01:23:33,021
the price goes down, that's actually better because then people

1370
01:23:33,061 --> 01:23:35,165
actually use it more. Is that a problem though? I

1371
01:23:35,186 --> 01:23:37,530
mean, do you think that that will hit demand? Some

1372
01:23:37,570 --> 01:23:40,617
of these questions over return on investment and value. I

1373
01:23:40,637 --> 01:23:42,400
mean, Scott was just here basically... saying that if you

1374
01:23:42,440 --> 01:23:44,064
don't get enough value from our product, we're going to

1375
01:23:44,104 --> 01:23:47,030
pay $10 million for your usage. It feels like everyone

1376
01:23:47,070 --> 01:23:49,976
is scrambling to show that they're providing value, but this

1377
01:23:50,016 --> 01:23:52,501
is a question too that is not new. That hit

1378
01:23:52,541 --> 01:23:55,767
the AI trade, the public AI trade before. It's kind

1379
01:23:55,807 --> 01:23:58,072
of been off to the races recently, but there's some

1380
01:23:58,112 --> 01:24:01,619
of that skepticism creeping back in. I think there's a...

1381
01:24:01,599 --> 01:24:04,044
is this, this is one of those bull crap, Silicon

1382
01:24:04,084 --> 01:24:06,749
Valley things. We've seen this come and go a hundred

1383
01:24:06,809 --> 01:24:12,380
times. Jevons paradox, which, and this, I don't know if

1384
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,323
you remember it two weeks ago or something like that.

1385
01:24:14,684 --> 01:24:17,229
Someone said, Oh, it's Jevons paradox. So this is, and

1386
01:24:17,249 --> 01:24:19,473
that was on the all in pod. So this is

1387
01:24:19,493 --> 01:24:22,419
a, a bull crap term they're using in Silicon Valley.

1388
01:24:22,971 --> 01:24:28,519
Jevons Paradox is an economic principle discovered by British economist

1389
01:24:28,620 --> 01:24:32,726
William Stanley Jevons in, wait for it, 1865. Can you

1390
01:24:33,567 --> 01:24:37,353
just see some VC coming up with this? Oh, absolutely.

1391
01:24:38,454 --> 01:24:41,519
Well, you know, according to Jevons Paradox, it states that...

1392
01:24:41,499 --> 01:24:47,176
technological improvements that increase the efficiency of resource use. can

1393
01:24:47,257 --> 01:24:51,320
paradoxically lead to an increase in the total consumption of

1394
01:24:51,380 --> 01:24:57,029
that resource rather than the expected decrease. The paradox occurs

1395
01:24:57,049 --> 01:25:01,419
because the efficiency improvements make a resource cheaper to use.

1396
01:25:01,619 --> 01:25:05,054
The cost savings often lead to increased demand that more

1397
01:25:05,095 --> 01:25:10,036
than offsets the efficiency gains. For example, Where's the paradox?

1398
01:25:10,117 --> 01:25:13,647
Well, I'm waiting for it. More fuel-efficient cars might lead

1399
01:25:13,687 --> 01:25:17,739
to more driving, or energy-efficient appliances might encourage people to

1400
01:25:17,860 --> 01:25:22,424
use them more frequently. This is Silicon Valley speak. for.

1401
01:25:23,003 --> 01:25:27,720
We're screwed. The model doesn't work. Jevons paradox, man. Don't

1402
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,108
worry. When Jevons kicks in, it's all going to be

1403
01:25:30,168 --> 01:25:33,662
great. I can just feel it. It's one of those

1404
01:25:33,682 --> 01:25:39,217
things. Can't you see John Doerr running around? This got

1405
01:25:39,278 --> 01:25:43,502
me to just change this little present. presentation here. change

1406
01:25:43,563 --> 01:25:47,632
the tip of the day. To what? You'll hear it

1407
01:25:47,652 --> 01:25:49,195
when you get to the tip of the day. It'll

1408
01:25:49,215 --> 01:25:51,219
be at the end of the show. People have to

1409
01:25:51,279 --> 01:25:54,144
listen. But this will be very relevant to what you're

1410
01:25:54,184 --> 01:25:56,268
saying. Oh, good. And then the final clip, this is

1411
01:25:56,609 --> 01:25:58,873
truly what I think is already happening and where all

1412
01:25:58,913 --> 01:26:01,999
this is heading and why your 401k will suffer. or

1413
01:26:02,039 --> 01:26:05,146
when these IPOs and these companies get added to the

1414
01:26:05,286 --> 01:26:07,891
index. Companies are eventually, and this is what you were

1415
01:26:07,931 --> 01:26:10,476
talking about earlier on desk side computing, is that right?

1416
01:26:10,897 --> 01:26:13,342
He says companies are eventually going to shift to running

1417
01:26:13,422 --> 01:26:16,348
local models. Prices are getting too high for Fortune 500

1418
01:26:16,388 --> 01:26:20,035
companies to swallow. We are already starting to see the

1419
01:26:20,096 --> 01:26:22,500
leaders shift to this idea. It makes a lot of

1420
01:26:22,540 --> 01:26:25,366
sense, doesn't it? Explain, though. Break this down for me.

1421
01:26:25,386 --> 01:26:28,492
Okay. I have agents. I want to use these agents.

1422
01:26:29,574 --> 01:26:31,238
I'm going to actually have a Mac Mini right next

1423
01:26:31,258 --> 01:26:34,504
to me. That's my desk-side computer. My laptop computer is

1424
01:26:34,544 --> 01:26:37,911
where I'm working. My desk-side computer is where the Mac

1425
01:26:37,931 --> 01:26:41,153
Mini is where my agents are working. That means I

1426
01:26:41,749 --> 01:26:44,088
now am doing a lot of processing locally i might

1427
01:26:44,128 --> 01:26:46,820
have models that actually sit on that mac mini that

1428
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,029
that agent is using because they're getting smaller and smaller

1429
01:26:49,069 --> 01:26:52,984
smaller and smaller so my if i can get a

1430
01:26:53,025 --> 01:26:57,024
substantial percentage of the workload on those Boy, that's a

1431
01:26:57,044 --> 01:26:59,946
great thing. What that does, though, is it's going to

1432
01:26:59,986 --> 01:27:02,721
require a lot more network bandwidth. because those agents are

1433
01:27:02,741 --> 01:27:05,707
going to generate, you know... Listen to this bull crap.

1434
01:27:05,727 --> 01:27:08,993
Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah, a lot more bandwidth

1435
01:27:09,034 --> 01:27:11,398
because the agent's going to want to talk to the

1436
01:27:11,659 --> 01:27:14,104
traffic. Use our routers. That'll have to go back and

1437
01:27:14,164 --> 01:27:16,749
forth between the data center. Oh, back and forth between

1438
01:27:16,789 --> 01:27:18,953
the data center. Oh, no. These agents aren't just talking

1439
01:27:18,973 --> 01:27:22,260
amongst themselves. They're going to talk amongst themselves. on the

1440
01:27:22,300 --> 01:27:25,969
Mac Mini, but they'll also talk to someone in the

1441
01:27:25,989 --> 01:27:28,436
cloud. Oh, you need two gigabits now. And so I

1442
01:27:28,496 --> 01:27:31,744
think you're going to have a, at this point, an

1443
01:27:31,864 --> 01:27:37,254
agent workflow is a routing challenge. It is a trust

1444
01:27:37,294 --> 01:27:40,672
decision and it's a telemetry event. Telemetry event? And the

1445
01:27:40,692 --> 01:27:42,581
telemetry event being I need to make sure that I'm

1446
01:27:42,681 --> 01:27:45,472
showing the traceability of where that agent is going, what

1447
01:27:45,533 --> 01:27:49,649
it's doing. All those things together make this a coordination

1448
01:27:49,669 --> 01:27:53,251
of intelligence. It's not just a... It's not just that

1449
01:27:53,271 --> 01:27:55,080
you're going to have one large model and one large

1450
01:27:55,121 --> 01:27:56,990
data center and it's going to answer all your questions.

1451
01:27:57,312 --> 01:28:01,303
So here we go, John. We're pitching now. So taking

1452
01:28:01,364 --> 01:28:04,586
in mind what you all know, course, Jevons Paradox. When

1453
01:28:04,647 --> 01:28:06,778
we have these telemetry events, we're going to be rich.

1454
01:28:07,181 --> 01:28:09,333
Just watch. It's going to be great. Invest now. Here's

1455
01:28:09,373 --> 01:28:16,937
my PowerPoint. Well, can you determine the telemetry threshold? For

1456
01:28:16,978 --> 01:28:20,682
the ROI. Yes, I can do that with the locally

1457
01:28:20,743 --> 01:28:24,527
managed network operating protocol. call with the advanced network analysis

1458
01:28:24,588 --> 01:28:29,898
language. Ah, my new set. I heard you could do

1459
01:28:29,939 --> 01:28:35,411
that. My favorite. My favorite. My favorite one, advanced network

1460
01:28:35,451 --> 01:28:38,926
analysis language. Now, there is good news. There's good news

1461
01:28:39,006 --> 01:28:42,119
because finally we have something that AI is useful for.

1462
01:28:42,127 --> 01:28:45,594
I fully support this. I think it's great. Call Dana

1463
01:28:45,634 --> 01:28:48,541
Brunetti because we're going to kill Hollywood once and for

1464
01:28:48,661 --> 01:28:51,968
all. It's interesting that this is a YouTuber that is

1465
01:28:52,589 --> 01:28:56,758
making the leap because you were pretty early investing in

1466
01:28:57,099 --> 01:29:01,317
the creator space with full screen. What did you learn

1467
01:29:01,398 --> 01:29:04,201
out of that and did you think? that in the

1468
01:29:04,241 --> 01:29:09,332
year 2026, we would see this run of digital native

1469
01:29:09,372 --> 01:29:14,602
filmmaking talent making the leap not just to getting Hollywood-style

1470
01:29:14,662 --> 01:29:18,751
movies made, but getting big audiences. You know, Obsession just

1471
01:29:18,851 --> 01:29:21,877
opened big and keeps growing, and now we've got this

1472
01:29:22,318 --> 01:29:26,509
other... YouTube first movie that is going to be big.

1473
01:29:26,791 --> 01:29:29,867
It's called Back Room. Have you heard of these movies?

1474
01:29:30,287 --> 01:29:33,134
Well, the only one I've heard of is the one

1475
01:29:33,174 --> 01:29:35,801
that's actually playing in a theater. Yes, that's Back Rooms.

1476
01:29:35,841 --> 01:29:38,528
At the Tribeca Film Festival. I think it's Back Rooms

1477
01:29:38,608 --> 01:29:42,919
is the one that's playing. No, no, it's something violets.

1478
01:29:43,279 --> 01:29:47,194
I'll get the title. There's a couple of them. Absolutely.

1479
01:29:47,254 --> 01:29:51,993
The only one playing in the theaters is the Vilas

1480
01:29:52,053 --> 01:29:57,259
film. Let's listen to this. This is... Who is this

1481
01:29:57,402 --> 01:30:00,520
guy? I'll figure it out in a minute. He believed

1482
01:30:00,621 --> 01:30:04,425
that. You did? Yes. You know, we have been huge

1483
01:30:04,505 --> 01:30:08,325
believers in the creator economy and going back. I think

1484
01:30:08,345 --> 01:30:13,393
we invested in full screen 14 years ago. Look, it's

1485
01:30:13,413 --> 01:30:15,699
also, to be fair, it's no accident, we are the

1486
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:20,211
only media company based in Silicon Beach. Our offices are

1487
01:30:20,272 --> 01:30:23,669
in Playa Vista. We are off the streets. Where is

1488
01:30:23,729 --> 01:30:27,679
Silicon Beach? Down south is Calabasas or someplace down in

1489
01:30:27,699 --> 01:30:31,548
Southern California. Calabasas? Yeah, it's bull crap. This is great.

1490
01:30:31,568 --> 01:30:36,240
YouTube is right over there. I'm in Silicon Hills. Facebook

1491
01:30:36,260 --> 01:30:41,064
is right over there. You know, as a company, I'm

1492
01:30:41,084 --> 01:30:46,045
deeply interested in technology. blah blah blah blah what's happened

1493
01:30:46,165 --> 01:30:49,652
is the movie's dreams of violence dreams and it's from

1494
01:30:49,712 --> 01:30:54,862
an iranian filmmaker and it's about iran riots or killings

1495
01:30:54,922 --> 01:30:57,908
or something like that and it was very controversial it's

1496
01:30:57,948 --> 01:31:01,475
the first one accepted into film festival and there's a

1497
01:31:01,515 --> 01:31:03,419
bunch of news stories on all the networks about it

1498
01:31:03,459 --> 01:31:07,691
Well, now Hollywood is just like Silicon Valley, except instead

1499
01:31:07,751 --> 01:31:11,811
of the... What is it, the Jervin? I forgot the

1500
01:31:11,852 --> 01:31:17,493
name already. The Jarvan Principle. What was that guy's name?

1501
01:31:17,513 --> 01:31:21,972
The Jarbo Principle. The Jambo Principle. Jambo. There you go.

1502
01:31:21,992 --> 01:31:25,670
Poor Jambo guy. Jambo Principle. Our poor Jambo guy. Now

1503
01:31:25,770 --> 01:31:29,376
it's, yeah, man, we want YouTubers. Get us YouTubers. We

1504
01:31:29,396 --> 01:31:32,381
need more YouTubers. You can't just live on sequels. You

1505
01:31:32,421 --> 01:31:36,027
can't just live on existing IP. It's a terrible thing

1506
01:31:36,067 --> 01:31:37,589
to do to the audience. I hope that there is

1507
01:31:37,669 --> 01:31:41,496
a lesson to those big studios in both Obsession and

1508
01:31:41,576 --> 01:31:46,394
Backrooms. they should be taking risks like that. You know,

1509
01:31:46,415 --> 01:31:49,210
and if you go back to the big franchises, which

1510
01:31:49,251 --> 01:31:53,333
they are making infinite sequels of. are generally 15 to

1511
01:31:53,353 --> 01:31:56,536
30, 40 years old at this point. Half the audience

1512
01:31:56,576 --> 01:32:00,837
wasn't born when they started. What do you think the

1513
01:32:00,917 --> 01:32:02,691
model is going to be? Do you think that it's

1514
01:32:02,772 --> 01:32:10,123
possible that... these YouTube first movies that they could reinvigorate.

1515
01:32:10,575 --> 01:32:15,113
People going to theaters to see it? Like vinyl, you

1516
01:32:15,153 --> 01:32:18,977
know? Like everyone's all, oh, vinyl, vinyl. Oh, no, you

1517
01:32:18,997 --> 01:32:21,900
got to see this thing in the theater. You think

1518
01:32:21,921 --> 01:32:25,250
that's possible? Could they do that? possible, but not for

1519
01:32:25,311 --> 01:32:29,225
a while. Well, there's a couple of these movies happening.

1520
01:32:29,525 --> 01:32:32,011
I mean, surely we can't just have people putting them

1521
01:32:32,111 --> 01:32:35,639
out on YouTube and not making YouTube pennies. That's not

1522
01:32:35,679 --> 01:32:40,209
going to last. Well, the movie Dreams of Violets, they

1523
01:32:40,229 --> 01:32:43,877
had protests out in front and everyone's moaning about it.

1524
01:32:44,158 --> 01:32:48,032
Really? Yeah, because, oh, it's going to ruin Hollywood and

1525
01:32:48,072 --> 01:32:51,602
we're all going to die. Brunetti should be all over

1526
01:32:51,683 --> 01:32:54,652
this. No, Brunetti probably is all over it. I haven't

1527
01:32:54,712 --> 01:32:57,661
talked to him about it. But I'm sure he's all,

1528
01:32:58,525 --> 01:33:01,159
he's not all over. He should be producing this stuff.

1529
01:33:01,179 --> 01:33:03,571
He should be producing. He should be a, hey, kid.

1530
01:33:04,655 --> 01:33:07,548
Hey kid, I'm gonna make you famous. You want to

1531
01:33:07,588 --> 01:33:11,214
get rich? You want to leave your wife rich? Yeah,

1532
01:33:11,255 --> 01:33:15,102
stick with me. I'm Dana Brunetti, babe. I'm Dana Brunetti.

1533
01:33:15,222 --> 01:33:16,564
You want to get a job? You want to be

1534
01:33:16,625 --> 01:33:19,510
a star? You want to be a star? A star?

1535
01:33:19,730 --> 01:33:22,576
Yeah, I'm Dana Brunetti. That's not at all how he

1536
01:33:22,616 --> 01:33:26,633
sounds, by the way. What? That's not how he sounds.

1537
01:33:26,714 --> 01:33:30,285
No. Yeah, he sounds just like that. That's not at

1538
01:33:30,305 --> 01:33:33,656
all how Brunetti sounds. Yeah, he talks like this. And

1539
01:33:33,696 --> 01:33:36,980
he doesn't look at all like he sounds either. You

1540
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,038
know, he looks like this. He looks like a frat

1541
01:33:40,098 --> 01:33:42,472
boy with a beard. He's got a big cigar, usually

1542
01:33:42,573 --> 01:33:48,489
smoking it. Yeah. Hey, kid. Hey, kid. So I have

1543
01:33:48,529 --> 01:33:51,976
an AI story that needs to be. All right. Played.

1544
01:33:52,197 --> 01:33:55,243
Okay. This is a, this is a, an ode to

1545
01:33:55,343 --> 01:33:58,890
Linda Lou Patkin. Oh, all right. Linda. It's about AI

1546
01:33:58,990 --> 01:34:02,437
job searches. And what a little tidbit here is quite

1547
01:34:02,518 --> 01:34:06,068
interesting. Stanford just released the biggest study ever done on

1548
01:34:06,108 --> 01:34:09,395
AI hiring tools. And it's uncovering this massive web that's

1549
01:34:09,495 --> 01:34:12,140
answering the question all of us are asking. Why does

1550
01:34:12,180 --> 01:34:14,604
my resume keep getting rejected for jobs that I am

1551
01:34:14,665 --> 01:34:17,370
completely qualified for? And I'm going to be honest, this

1552
01:34:17,390 --> 01:34:21,157
study has changed the way I think about every application

1553
01:34:21,197 --> 01:34:24,811
I've ever sent. 90% of companies are using AI to

1554
01:34:24,851 --> 01:34:27,736
screen applicants before a human ever sees them. And the

1555
01:34:27,776 --> 01:34:30,060
interesting thing is that most of these companies are using

1556
01:34:30,100 --> 01:34:32,905
the same few vendors to do that work. Meaning it's

1557
01:34:32,985 --> 01:34:36,451
the exact same tool, just used in different companies. And

1558
01:34:36,471 --> 01:34:39,155
it's probably everywhere that you have been applying. Here's how

1559
01:34:39,215 --> 01:34:41,652
it actually works. You apply to a job. And then

1560
01:34:41,692 --> 01:34:44,559
the company sends your resume to a third-party AI tool.

1561
01:34:44,980 --> 01:34:47,526
And that AI platform gives you a score. And then

1562
01:34:47,546 --> 01:34:49,932
it sends that score back to the employer. But that

1563
01:34:50,012 --> 01:34:53,581
score doesn't disappear or get regenerated with every application you

1564
01:34:53,641 --> 01:34:57,758
send. sometimes it holds onto that score for 330 days.

1565
01:34:57,778 --> 01:35:00,674
So when you apply to another company that uses that

1566
01:35:00,714 --> 01:35:03,193
same platform, you're not getting a fresh start. You're just

1567
01:35:03,233 --> 01:35:06,257
getting that same score again. And the research is real.

1568
01:35:06,297 --> 01:35:12,867
They tracked over 4 million applications across 156 employers. And

1569
01:35:12,887 --> 01:35:14,649
when they found that the people who had applied to

1570
01:35:14,689 --> 01:35:17,714
multiple companies who were using the same AI tool to

1571
01:35:17,774 --> 01:35:20,618
screen, the rejection rate was a little too high to

1572
01:35:20,658 --> 01:35:24,134
be coincidental. So they're calling it systemic rejection. The study

1573
01:35:24,194 --> 01:35:27,759
is called Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring, if you want to

1574
01:35:27,799 --> 01:35:29,682
check it out. But just know that if you've been

1575
01:35:29,802 --> 01:35:34,228
sending applications out and hearing nothing back, it's probably not

1576
01:35:34,268 --> 01:35:37,692
your resume. And this is just another reminder that we're

1577
01:35:37,712 --> 01:35:41,137
not living in some glitch. It's effectively one score for

1578
01:35:41,157 --> 01:35:44,910
330 days. every company that you're applying to. And this

1579
01:35:44,991 --> 01:35:47,955
is why laws like the ones Colorado is passing right

1580
01:35:47,996 --> 01:35:51,181
now are going to be imperative to the future of

1581
01:35:51,201 --> 01:35:54,607
job applications and hiring. I'm going to continue to report

1582
01:35:54,667 --> 01:35:58,313
on this, so follow, like, comment if you want to

1583
01:35:58,333 --> 01:36:00,757
know more about the systems that are actively working against

1584
01:36:00,797 --> 01:36:03,067
you in your job search. And feel free to share

1585
01:36:03,088 --> 01:36:05,922
this with anyone else who's being actively gaslit by AI

1586
01:36:06,224 --> 01:36:08,617
on a daily basis. That's Image Makers Inc. with a

1587
01:36:08,637 --> 01:36:11,852
K. Now, I would say a couple. First of all,

1588
01:36:11,953 --> 01:36:18,239
I did not edit that. I'm better than that. This

1589
01:36:18,340 --> 01:36:24,735
is typical high-tech. Uh... way of saving money. Instead of

1590
01:36:24,755 --> 01:36:27,359
having, you know, you get an application in and you

1591
01:36:27,399 --> 01:36:30,904
scan it for some score and you send the score

1592
01:36:30,944 --> 01:36:34,008
back to the first company. Another thing comes in from

1593
01:36:34,048 --> 01:36:37,854
the same person from a different company. Why bother scanning

1594
01:36:37,874 --> 01:36:42,660
it? Same score. You already have the guy's score. Just

1595
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,267
send the same score on, so that's what they're doing.

1596
01:36:45,367 --> 01:36:48,735
This is classic. Why burn tokens on it? No, they're

1597
01:36:48,755 --> 01:36:50,420
not going to do that. Yeah, why burn tokens when

1598
01:36:50,580 --> 01:36:53,006
you can just, hey, he's in the database, send out

1599
01:36:53,026 --> 01:36:54,610
that same score. Yeah, it's good to go. It's a

1600
01:36:54,630 --> 01:36:57,217
completely different resume, but so what? Keep him there for

1601
01:36:57,237 --> 01:37:00,823
a year. It's good. That's a year, and by the

1602
01:37:00,884 --> 01:37:04,078
way, I doubt it. I'm sure this... permanent it's like

1603
01:37:04,158 --> 01:37:08,277
a credit score yes you're done you're toast you're not

1604
01:37:08,378 --> 01:37:12,043
ever gonna work again I gotta do these two peptide

1605
01:37:12,164 --> 01:37:14,236
emails since we made such a big deal about it

1606
01:37:14,256 --> 01:37:17,092
and we had so many lovely people writing in. About

1607
01:37:17,132 --> 01:37:25,876
what? Peptides. Oh, peptides. Peptides, yes. About 95% were telling

1608
01:37:25,916 --> 01:37:29,501
me it's great. It's phenomenal. I inject myself twice a

1609
01:37:29,581 --> 01:37:33,687
week. I'm on the Wolverine. This is the best thing

1610
01:37:33,827 --> 01:37:36,912
ever. It's fixed my back. I don't doubt it at

1611
01:37:37,012 --> 01:37:39,395
all. Yeah, I'm sure it helps a lot of people.

1612
01:37:39,435 --> 01:37:42,768
Yeah, but there's two emails I wanted to highlight. one

1613
01:37:42,848 --> 01:37:46,254
from our senior medical student he's written in before. He's

1614
01:37:46,294 --> 01:37:50,160
in Australia. He says, basically, you buy this stuff online,

1615
01:37:50,300 --> 01:37:53,746
but these peptides can be between 50% to 300% purity

1616
01:37:53,846 --> 01:37:56,611
of the stated dose. This makes no difference for the

1617
01:37:56,671 --> 01:37:59,836
fancy water peptides that people get a placebo from injecting

1618
01:37:59,856 --> 01:38:01,719
them. I'm sure there's a lot of that going on.

1619
01:38:01,823 --> 01:38:05,406
But for harmful drugs like this new R-E-T-A, as everyone

1620
01:38:05,487 --> 01:38:09,686
calls it, RETA, this can kill people. I've seen otherwise

1621
01:38:09,746 --> 01:38:13,095
healthy young patients coming in with symptoms of pancreatitis, of

1622
01:38:13,236 --> 01:38:17,628
unknown cause. Hey, Slim. Until you ask about the peptide

1623
01:38:17,768 --> 01:38:20,115
use. I had a young lady taking four times the

1624
01:38:20,155 --> 01:38:27,130
recommended dose of... Retrotrudide daily. This is the stuff we

1625
01:38:27,170 --> 01:38:29,895
talked about. This is not even mentioning the fact that

1626
01:38:29,915 --> 01:38:33,062
her vials could have been 200% purity, so it could

1627
01:38:33,082 --> 01:38:36,188
have been 8 times the dose. Based on talking to

1628
01:38:36,228 --> 01:38:39,555
patients, I would say around 10-20% of young Australians, 14-30,

1629
01:38:39,595 --> 01:38:43,081
are taking peptides with up to half considering it. This

1630
01:38:43,142 --> 01:38:47,193
is a lot. Yeah. I think this is a bigger

1631
01:38:47,273 --> 01:38:51,486
thing than we suspect. Yes. Fact is, most of these

1632
01:38:51,567 --> 01:38:54,486
peptides are, I know people who get their peptides from

1633
01:38:54,506 --> 01:38:58,420
their hair person. Just saying. Fact is, most of these

1634
01:38:58,480 --> 01:39:01,654
peptides are showing promise in studies on rats and muscle

1635
01:39:01,714 --> 01:39:04,932
cells in petri dishes. With minimal human safety trials other

1636
01:39:04,972 --> 01:39:09,103
than Reddit and TikTok forums, these companies can get away

1637
01:39:09,143 --> 01:39:11,850
with making millions selling these as it's not illegal here

1638
01:39:11,890 --> 01:39:15,921
in Australia to sell research-for-research purposes only peptides with no

1639
01:39:15,981 --> 01:39:25,724
recourse. Um... Here's a, some people take. uh msh to

1640
01:39:25,804 --> 01:39:28,192
be more tan and it works well for this but

1641
01:39:28,212 --> 01:39:33,831
when you stimulate the melanokites on your skin you stimulate

1642
01:39:33,851 --> 01:39:37,123
the moles that are normally hanging out there Most people

1643
01:39:37,163 --> 01:39:39,317
have moles that could turn into melanoma. Okay, so there's

1644
01:39:39,358 --> 01:39:41,311
all kinds of horrible things that can happen. And then

1645
01:39:41,351 --> 01:39:46,418
we have... Um... Boots on the ground from Patrick. Before

1646
01:39:46,459 --> 01:39:50,155
you're done with that letter, I should mention I sent

1647
01:39:50,195 --> 01:39:54,665
that letter to JC. Yes, that very one. I'm sorry?

1648
01:39:54,826 --> 01:39:59,183
The one from Australia? Yeah. Yeah, okay. And he says

1649
01:39:59,223 --> 01:40:03,419
he thinks it's wrong. Wrong. What he says about the...

1650
01:40:03,619 --> 01:40:07,006
A melanoma generator because it turns out that it might

1651
01:40:07,106 --> 01:40:11,375
actually be just the opposite. Might be. It might be.

1652
01:40:11,576 --> 01:40:14,482
Sure. Might be just the opposite. It might be. And

1653
01:40:14,502 --> 01:40:20,634
he cited some rationale that it would, anyway, he says

1654
01:40:20,714 --> 01:40:28,660
it's dubious. The argument. Okay. It might be. I don't

1655
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:30,585
know. It might be. We don't know. And the fact

1656
01:40:30,665 --> 01:40:32,430
is, the thing that bothers me about all this, of

1657
01:40:32,450 --> 01:40:36,201
course, is people that are all, you know, concerned about

1658
01:40:36,462 --> 01:40:40,272
eating whole foods and being careful about what they eat

1659
01:40:40,292 --> 01:40:43,264
and ingest. We'll just take these things out. from a

1660
01:40:43,284 --> 01:40:49,202
drug dealer. It's just... Crazy. So now we have Patrick,

1661
01:40:49,222 --> 01:40:51,970
who is pursuing his doctorate in chemistry, right up your

1662
01:40:52,070 --> 01:40:53,975
alley. He was listening to Thursday's show. He said, I

1663
01:40:54,035 --> 01:40:56,763
heard you were interested in peptides. Well, since I'm pursuing

1664
01:40:56,803 --> 01:41:00,032
this, I thought I could weigh in and tell you

1665
01:41:00,072 --> 01:41:02,298
what I know. From a scientific perspective, the discovery and

1666
01:41:02,318 --> 01:41:05,487
creation of peptides of GLP-1 drugs is interesting and they

1667
01:41:05,507 --> 01:41:07,634
have gotten pretty good from what they began as. When

1668
01:41:07,674 --> 01:41:10,542
it comes to peptides as a drug, the hardest part

1669
01:41:10,663 --> 01:41:13,411
is making sure they are not digested in the body.

1670
01:41:13,767 --> 01:41:17,019
For the large majority, you cannot just eat peptides because

1671
01:41:17,059 --> 01:41:19,629
your body will digest them like any protein you would

1672
01:41:19,649 --> 01:41:22,319
get and from eating food and not enter the bloodstream.

1673
01:41:22,391 --> 01:41:25,035
This is why they are injected into the bloodstream, and

1674
01:41:25,235 --> 01:41:27,398
even then your body will break them down, although at

1675
01:41:27,438 --> 01:41:30,182
a much slower rate. When it comes to peptides, which

1676
01:41:30,242 --> 01:41:34,027
many people are using to biohack, yeah, that's it, outside

1677
01:41:34,067 --> 01:41:37,793
of GLP-1s, most of them come from Chinese companies, which

1678
01:41:37,853 --> 01:41:40,376
have little to no studies, especially not in human trials.

1679
01:41:40,717 --> 01:41:43,467
The rationale of using them to improve... bodily function mainly

1680
01:41:43,528 --> 01:41:48,258
comes from computational modeling, like climate change. The biggest issue

1681
01:41:48,318 --> 01:41:51,127
for these is the actual production of the peptides themselves.

1682
01:41:51,147 --> 01:41:53,333
That kind of goes along with what our previous boots

1683
01:41:53,394 --> 01:41:56,744
on the ground said. Companies utilize E. coli to produce

1684
01:41:56,784 --> 01:42:03,924
the peptide. What? Whoa. Whoa. process known as recombinant protein

1685
01:42:03,984 --> 01:42:06,368
expression. I do this on a regular basis in the

1686
01:42:06,409 --> 01:42:08,453
lab and it's actually a very efficient way of producing

1687
01:42:08,513 --> 01:42:12,240
peptides and proteins. Insulin is produced using this method. The

1688
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,685
biggest issue with using this to create drugs for human

1689
01:42:14,785 --> 01:42:19,775
use is the contamination of polysaccharides, sugar, which can create

1690
01:42:19,835 --> 01:42:23,924
severe allergic reactions if injected. into the bloodstream. Pharmaceutical companies

1691
01:42:24,044 --> 01:42:27,391
are great at removing this and have testing to ensure

1692
01:42:27,431 --> 01:42:30,617
that batches are not contaminated. The equipment used is very

1693
01:42:30,638 --> 01:42:33,002
expensive and I would bet that the Chinese companies that

1694
01:42:33,022 --> 01:42:36,690
are producing peptides are not doing this. Yeah, best price.

1695
01:42:36,710 --> 01:42:39,195
I have friends that have had adverse reaction to these

1696
01:42:39,275 --> 01:42:41,808
peptides and gotten sick from them. This is the biggest

1697
01:42:41,868 --> 01:42:44,673
issue I see with peptides outside of the general ignorance

1698
01:42:45,073 --> 01:42:47,077
on how they will interact with the body as the

1699
01:42:47,177 --> 01:42:50,983
biochemical pathways within the body are very complex and small

1700
01:42:51,083 --> 01:42:56,391
changes can create big effects. So, yeah, I mean, biohacking

1701
01:42:56,451 --> 01:42:59,556
is what people are doing. And you don't need to

1702
01:42:59,716 --> 01:43:01,720
email me and tell me these guys are. full of

1703
01:43:01,780 --> 01:43:03,563
crap and I don't know what I'm talking about because

1704
01:43:03,704 --> 01:43:06,529
guess what I don't but no we don't we we're

1705
01:43:06,690 --> 01:43:10,096
we're rank amateurs when it comes all we're doing is

1706
01:43:10,177 --> 01:43:12,822
presenting what we know yeah but what we're told what

1707
01:43:12,862 --> 01:43:16,509
our producers tell us yeah what our producers tell us

1708
01:43:16,910 --> 01:43:20,116
yeah what do people yeah and we're going to continue

1709
01:43:20,157 --> 01:43:22,800
to do that for a while yes Because, I mean...

1710
01:43:23,283 --> 01:43:25,888
It's a big deal. This is going on. Yeah, so

1711
01:43:26,850 --> 01:43:29,655
when people get all bent out of shape that now

1712
01:43:29,775 --> 01:43:33,122
Eli Lilly is taking what they've basically been getting for

1713
01:43:33,142 --> 01:43:37,610
50 bucks from their hairdresser, they're now, you know, now

1714
01:43:37,650 --> 01:43:39,574
they have to pay a thousand bucks a month. They're

1715
01:43:39,594 --> 01:43:44,095
all bent out of shape, blah, blah, blah. Production matters.

1716
01:43:44,378 --> 01:43:49,287
Quality matters. Except when it comes to vaccines where there's

1717
01:43:49,327 --> 01:43:52,259
no liability issues. Well, no, please. Well, since you inject

1718
01:43:52,300 --> 01:43:55,557
this, can't they just call it a vaccine? And how

1719
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,881
would the pill, how would this pill work better than

1720
01:43:58,961 --> 01:44:02,565
injecting it, mainlining that crap, baby? Come on, mainline it

1721
01:44:02,606 --> 01:44:07,015
right into me. Actually, it doesn't make sense what the

1722
01:44:07,055 --> 01:44:11,062
chemist said. It doesn't make sense about the pill. Because

1723
01:44:11,082 --> 01:44:14,125
they're just getting, you know, digested like any other protein.

1724
01:44:14,145 --> 01:44:16,850
I mean, I'm, here's what I'm worried about. You get

1725
01:44:16,890 --> 01:44:20,350
this stuff, particularly if it gets approved by the FDA.

1726
01:44:20,430 --> 01:44:22,634
And before you know it, you're voting Democrat. I'm telling

1727
01:44:22,694 --> 01:44:24,243
you, you got to be careful about these things. I

1728
01:44:24,303 --> 01:44:25,590
think you might be on to something. You got to

1729
01:44:25,630 --> 01:44:31,049
be careful with these things. But yes, the Wolverine combo

1730
01:44:31,130 --> 01:44:33,363
is what everyone seems to like a lot. If you're

1731
01:44:33,463 --> 01:44:37,089
working out a lot and you get ripped. Crazy ripped.

1732
01:44:37,351 --> 01:44:41,911
Ripped. Yeah. I'm not a exerciser. I'm a walker. So

1733
01:44:41,952 --> 01:44:44,858
I'm not going to get ripped anytime soon. I'm a

1734
01:44:44,878 --> 01:44:48,346
podcaster. I got no time to exercise. Podcasters shouldn't be

1735
01:44:48,506 --> 01:44:53,176
ripped. There's nothing sick about a ripped podcaster. Well, tell

1736
01:44:53,236 --> 01:44:57,798
that to Joe Rogan. Yeah, but Rogan was always, yeah,

1737
01:44:57,818 --> 01:45:00,453
but Rogan's also a UFC fighter. And by the way,

1738
01:45:00,493 --> 01:45:03,351
which brings me to the... I finally got one more.

1739
01:45:03,371 --> 01:45:06,177
It took forever to get a Sharpton clip. Oh, a

1740
01:45:06,317 --> 01:45:10,707
Sharpton clip? Where he screws up. Of why they're having

1741
01:45:10,808 --> 01:45:13,935
these fights on the White House lawn, the UFO and

1742
01:45:14,015 --> 01:45:21,621
all, whatever they call it. The UFO. Excellent! Yeah! Finally,

1743
01:45:21,681 --> 01:45:24,513
a new Sharpton jingle to use. Very good. Very good.

1744
01:45:24,533 --> 01:45:28,007
I'm very happy. Thank you. Thank you. Excellent job. Excellent

1745
01:45:28,027 --> 01:45:35,091
job. Very happy with that. Oh, man. Ebola update. Wait.

1746
01:45:35,111 --> 01:45:39,571
I need to do my Ebola jingle. I need to.

1747
01:45:40,214 --> 01:45:46,858
I need to. Oops. Ebola. Yes, here we go. Ebola,

1748
01:45:47,340 --> 01:45:52,762
Ebola, it has been with us two times in our

1749
01:45:52,822 --> 01:45:59,802
lives. you I was the third It's time to speak

1750
01:46:00,086 --> 01:46:06,592
about Ebola. Security has been stepped up at Ebola treatment

1751
01:46:06,692 --> 01:46:11,120
centers in eastern Congo with extra UN peacekeepers and local

1752
01:46:11,181 --> 01:46:16,130
police deployed. Medical staff have faced growing hostility with reports

1753
01:46:16,190 --> 01:46:22,101
of attacks on facilities. Richard Kogoy reports. against health workers

1754
01:46:22,161 --> 01:46:25,568
in a region where distrust and misinformation about Ebola remain

1755
01:46:25,628 --> 01:46:29,395
widespread. Security has been reinforced in Rwampara and Mugumbwalo in

1756
01:46:29,415 --> 01:46:33,704
Ituri province after incidents targeting treatment centers and medical staff.

1757
01:46:34,005 --> 01:46:37,492
Troops will also guard smaller clinics receiving patients and supervise

1758
01:46:37,512 --> 01:46:41,219
imperial teams. Alongside the security push, the government and aid...

1759
01:46:41,199 --> 01:46:44,966
partners are running outreach campaigns to counter false information and

1760
01:46:45,047 --> 01:46:48,433
build public trust in communities where cultural beliefs have shaped

1761
01:46:48,473 --> 01:46:51,840
views on illness and death. The WHO says nearly 500

1762
01:46:52,181 --> 01:46:56,169
cases are confirmed, including 82 deaths in the outbreak across

1763
01:46:56,229 --> 01:47:00,798
Central Africa. I have a follow-on clip from CBS regarding

1764
01:47:00,838 --> 01:47:05,279
a little mystery. misunderstanding. After this outrage in Kenya in

1765
01:47:05,319 --> 01:47:09,710
which two people were killed protesting a Trump administration plan

1766
01:47:09,770 --> 01:47:13,258
to set up an Ebola facility only for Americans at

1767
01:47:13,278 --> 01:47:16,385
a military airbase, Secretary of State Marco Rubio now says

1768
01:47:16,426 --> 01:47:19,593
that there has been a misunderstanding. And that's about whether

1769
01:47:19,633 --> 01:47:23,662
Americans would only be observed. for symptoms if they've been

1770
01:47:23,702 --> 01:47:28,271
potentially exposed in the region or if positive whether they

1771
01:47:28,311 --> 01:47:31,558
would be quarantined and then treated for the longer term

1772
01:47:31,718 --> 01:47:34,243
we're not actually actually in kenya to set up treatment

1773
01:47:34,343 --> 01:47:36,628
for americans i think the one that's been very controversial

1774
01:47:36,688 --> 01:47:39,353
is a misunderstanding there is a facility that the kenyans

1775
01:47:39,413 --> 01:47:41,958
are allowing us to open if there are any americans

1776
01:47:41,978 --> 01:48:06,167
that are Yes. What? No! about 125 miles north of

1777
01:48:06,207 --> 01:48:11,298
Nairobi. This was before a Kenya High Court judge blocked

1778
01:48:11,618 --> 01:48:15,386
the facility, at least temporarily, but also after that judge

1779
01:48:15,446 --> 01:48:18,152
blocked the facility. After those protests broke out on June

1780
01:48:18,172 --> 01:48:21,679
1st, Kenya's Prime Minister, William Ruto, said that it was

1781
01:48:21,699 --> 01:48:24,965
a would be good for the country's own Ebola preparedness

1782
01:48:25,386 --> 01:48:27,490
and said that the U.S. and Kenya have had a

1783
01:48:27,831 --> 01:48:31,378
friendship for the past 30 to 40 years. But many

1784
01:48:31,438 --> 01:48:35,466
Kenyans feel that this is the Trump administration outsourcing American

1785
01:48:35,526 --> 01:48:38,913
health risks to their own home country. And a high-level

1786
01:48:39,073 --> 01:48:41,659
medical contact of mine in Nairobi told me that the

1787
01:48:41,699 --> 01:48:45,937
expectation is that this U.S. facility will go ahead regardless

1788
01:48:45,978 --> 01:48:48,244
of what any high court says. I mean, don't you

1789
01:48:48,625 --> 01:48:52,294
think it's time for a repeat of the Ebola flight

1790
01:48:52,394 --> 01:48:56,781
coming in and everyone's all... Got their hazmat suits on.

1791
01:48:56,822 --> 01:49:01,833
The dude hops out like... I got Ebola. Hello, hello,

1792
01:49:02,057 --> 01:49:05,806
hello. and takes off. Yeah. Bye-bye. We didn't play this

1793
01:49:05,866 --> 01:49:09,373
clip the other day, but it's relevant, I guess, now.

1794
01:49:09,554 --> 01:49:12,881
Two research scientists have been arrested and charged with smuggling

1795
01:49:12,921 --> 01:49:17,390
mpox into the United States. Vincent Munster and Claude Quay

1796
01:49:17,750 --> 01:49:20,937
work at the National Institutes of Health Biosafety Lab in

1797
01:49:20,997 --> 01:49:24,404
Montana. According to prosecutors, the pair traveled back to the

1798
01:49:24,484 --> 01:49:27,651
U.S. from the Republic of Congo, where there was an

1799
01:49:27,831 --> 01:49:32,400
outbreak of mpox. When they went through customs, CBP officers

1800
01:49:32,721 --> 01:49:35,828
questioned them about a large plastic case they had. They

1801
01:49:35,848 --> 01:49:39,635
allegedly lied to the officers about what was inside. After

1802
01:49:39,695 --> 01:49:44,701
investigating and testing... The FBI found vials of deactivated mpox

1803
01:49:44,761 --> 01:49:49,155
virus, chickenpox virus, and human DNA. The men face up

1804
01:49:49,195 --> 01:49:52,757
to five years in prison. You know, the scandal isn't

1805
01:49:52,838 --> 01:49:57,512
so much. that they did this. Five years? Can you

1806
01:49:57,572 --> 01:50:00,449
imagine Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak show up at

1807
01:50:00,469 --> 01:50:03,170
the airport? What you got there? Nothing. Well, let's take

1808
01:50:03,211 --> 01:50:05,402
a look. Oh, you got like mpocs. You got human

1809
01:50:05,443 --> 01:50:07,896
DNA. We would be locked. This would be, we would

1810
01:50:07,916 --> 01:50:11,389
be locked away forever. But, oh, they're NIH. Oh, that's

1811
01:50:11,450 --> 01:50:15,944
okay. One of them's a Dutch guy. I find this

1812
01:50:15,984 --> 01:50:19,687
scandalous. Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe five years. Who

1813
01:50:20,030 --> 01:50:24,011
knows? I mean, okay, it's... inactive or deactivated whatever she

1814
01:50:24,051 --> 01:50:27,431
said that's what they said yes exactly Like, no, I

1815
01:50:27,471 --> 01:50:30,752
don't like this. Lock those guys up. Can't be doing

1816
01:50:30,812 --> 01:50:39,123
that. Okay, let's see. Oh, this was kind of funny.

1817
01:50:39,863 --> 01:50:45,852
This is about our prop... favorite prop bet We have

1818
01:50:45,915 --> 01:50:51,207
two. Koushi being one. Federal investigators are examining the prediction

1819
01:50:51,248 --> 01:50:55,159
market trades of former New York Republican Congressman George Santos.

1820
01:50:55,721 --> 01:50:58,991
NPR's Bobby Allen reports it's the latest case raising questions

1821
01:50:59,071 --> 01:51:02,481
about insider trading on the betting sites. Four months after

1822
01:51:02,541 --> 01:51:05,767
George Santos had a seven-year wire fraud prison sentence commuted

1823
01:51:05,807 --> 01:51:09,034
by President Trump, he took to social media. I'm going

1824
01:51:09,074 --> 01:51:10,757
to be there for the State of the Union in

1825
01:51:11,158 --> 01:51:14,746
the gallery, guys. Just chill, trolls. Chill, trolls. What he

1826
01:51:14,786 --> 01:51:16,830
didn't say publicly is that he was betting tens of

1827
01:51:16,850 --> 01:51:19,656
thousands of dollars on the prediction market site Kaoshi that

1828
01:51:19,736 --> 01:51:22,826
he would not attend. Before it was revealed he did

1829
01:51:22,886 --> 01:51:25,912
not go, he cashed out. That's according to three sources

1830
01:51:25,952 --> 01:51:28,717
with direct knowledge of Santos' trades. The Justice Department and

1831
01:51:28,737 --> 01:51:31,943
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are investigating. When reached by

1832
01:51:32,023 --> 01:51:35,109
NPR, Santos said the investigations were news to him. He

1833
01:51:35,189 --> 01:51:38,235
said, I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no, when

1834
01:51:38,355 --> 01:51:41,538
asked if he has an account on Kaoshi. Oh man,

1835
01:51:41,598 --> 01:51:45,081
how low IQ are you if you do that? Well,

1836
01:51:45,544 --> 01:51:50,663
this is, I can make money quick. Was it illegal?

1837
01:51:51,851 --> 01:51:54,922
Well, isn't it insider trading by definition? It's not the

1838
01:51:55,143 --> 01:51:59,860
SEC. There's no SEC involved in this. Not yet. And

1839
01:52:00,161 --> 01:52:03,131
with insider training, you're the guy people are betting on.

1840
01:52:03,733 --> 01:52:05,680
Well, he bet on himself. You don't think the basketball

1841
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:09,011
guys do this constantly. Yeah. Oh, I sprained my ankle.

1842
01:52:09,052 --> 01:52:11,239
I can't play. Right. They get in trouble for it.

1843
01:52:11,819 --> 01:52:17,050
Do they? But from the league. Yeah, true. Oh, Wall

1845
01:52:21,172 --> 01:52:24,240
we go. Here's the, here's the, you're right. Here we

1846
01:52:24,380 --> 01:52:27,228
go. The bull in the China shop, the chainsaw weed

1847
01:52:27,268 --> 01:52:30,998
whacker. Yeah. Oh, this is going to be so much

1848
01:52:31,058 --> 01:52:33,715
fun. It's going to be great. It'll be good for

1849
01:52:33,756 --> 01:52:37,434
the show. It should be. Yeah. You're going to find

1850
01:52:37,495 --> 01:52:41,929
all kinds of stuff. I'm sorry. I was going to

1851
01:52:41,949 --> 01:52:44,660
say the World Cup, we got a clip on Iran.

1852
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:49,920
They gave them visas. I have a bunch of, I

1853
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:54,333
have a couple of screwy clips here. Um... Did you?

1854
01:52:54,353 --> 01:52:56,136
I'm going to ask you. This could be an Ask

1855
01:52:56,298 --> 01:53:00,332
Adam. Mm-hmm. What is the gayest city in the United

1856
01:53:00,393 --> 01:53:06,489
States? the gayest city in the United States. It's gay

1857
01:53:06,529 --> 01:53:10,743
pride month. I got a gay pride clip. Well, I

1858
01:53:10,763 --> 01:53:15,683
mean, instinctively, you want to say... San Francisco, but somehow

1859
01:53:15,724 --> 01:53:18,912
I don't think it's the gayest. I don't think there

1860
01:53:18,992 --> 01:53:21,015
is one. I think New York would be it, personally.

1861
01:53:21,295 --> 01:53:24,680
Or Atlanta. Atlanta's very gay. Which clip is it? Which

1862
01:53:24,780 --> 01:53:28,085
clip? This is the mayor, Mayor Bowser, the mayor of

1863
01:53:28,185 --> 01:53:33,853
Washington, D.C. Oh. She claims that Washington, D.C., the capital

1864
01:53:33,894 --> 01:53:37,719
of the United States of America, will play the clip.

1865
01:53:38,015 --> 01:53:48,060
one year's In the future of 51st. The same bull

1866
01:53:50,399 --> 01:53:58,212
deserves to be We're celebrating Pride Month in the... gayest

1867
01:53:58,297 --> 01:54:06,615
sin Well, let's be fair. We do have some a-gays.

1868
01:54:07,291 --> 01:54:10,791
uh in dc you know so you bring in a

1869
01:54:11,052 --> 01:54:12,862
besant there's going to be a whole bunch of other

1870
01:54:12,963 --> 01:54:16,398
people who follow around I can see. Do you think

1871
01:54:16,499 --> 01:54:19,378
Besant will be out there at Pride? With his chaps.

1872
01:54:19,538 --> 01:54:25,298
With his chaps. No. He did not do a good

1873
01:54:25,358 --> 01:54:28,708
job, man, the other day. Let me see, where is

1874
01:54:28,830 --> 01:54:35,108
it? He was being grilled. Let me see. Here we

1875
01:54:35,149 --> 01:54:38,982
go. You think with all the experience. experience he's had.

1876
01:54:39,002 --> 01:54:42,985
It's no good. He'd be better. Oh, he's no good.

1877
01:54:43,025 --> 01:54:45,771
Listen to this. Why are you allowing President Trump and

1878
01:54:45,791 --> 01:54:50,883
his family to have complete immunity from being audited? Again,

1879
01:54:50,923 --> 01:54:54,892
since you're a lawyer, you will understand that the US

1880
01:54:54,932 --> 01:54:58,340
Treasury and the IRS are represented by the justice. Department

1881
01:54:58,581 --> 01:55:00,985
and the acting Attorney General. Yes, but I just mentioned

1882
01:55:01,046 --> 01:55:04,292
a Supreme Court case that doesn't bar you from testifying.

1883
01:55:04,332 --> 01:55:07,539
It's pretty clear to me, though, however, that you're not

1884
01:55:07,699 --> 01:55:12,028
interested in answering questions. You're interested in arguing. Let me

1885
01:55:12,208 --> 01:55:15,875
ask you this question. If President Biden amended a prior

1886
01:55:15,915 --> 01:55:19,025
tax return and claimed that... He was owed $1 billion.

1887
01:55:19,045 --> 01:55:21,758
Do you think that that would be audited or should

1888
01:55:21,798 --> 01:55:25,326
it be audited? I'm not going to. the talk about

1889
01:55:25,587 --> 01:55:29,597
any, any, the... Because you're not really here to answer

1890
01:55:29,617 --> 01:55:33,869
questions. I don't understand why you wouldn't audit that, and

1891
01:55:33,929 --> 01:55:36,475
I don't understand why you wouldn't do the same for

1892
01:55:36,536 --> 01:55:42,487
President Trump. So the ruling by the Justice Department, excuse

1893
01:55:42,507 --> 01:55:44,475
me. Do you have specific knowledge of an audit of

1894
01:55:44,495 --> 01:55:48,376
President Trump? Excuse me. It's my time. You're not here

1895
01:55:48,396 --> 01:55:51,244
to ask me questions. I'm here to ask you questions.

1896
01:55:51,264 --> 01:55:53,270
And hopefully you're here to try to answer some of

1897
01:55:53,330 --> 01:55:57,720
them. Oh, man. It got even worse. Where he's like

1898
01:55:57,699 --> 01:56:01,177
he's he's he literally clutches well he didn't he was

1899
01:56:01,278 --> 01:56:04,151
if he had pearls he'd be clutching him Like, this

1900
01:56:04,232 --> 01:56:09,478
is an outrage! Can't Rubio take him aside? Rubio's the

1901
01:56:09,678 --> 01:56:12,308
guy that's good at this. Yeah, and Rubio is good

1902
01:56:12,328 --> 01:56:15,459
at this, but Besson has to answer, and he's just

1903
01:56:15,539 --> 01:56:18,601
no good at it. I don't know. I don't. understand

1904
01:56:18,642 --> 01:56:22,035
me He just, he chokes, choke, choke. He listens to

1905
01:56:22,055 --> 01:56:25,140
this. I'm curious to know who counts as Trump's family

1906
01:56:25,180 --> 01:56:29,447
for the purposes of this immunity. Is it his children,

1907
01:56:29,487 --> 01:56:35,216
his in-laws, his grandchildren, his second or third cousin, his

1908
01:56:35,316 --> 01:56:39,163
great-great-grandchildren? Do you know the answer to that question, Mr.

1909
01:56:39,183 --> 01:56:43,431
Secretary? Again, I imagine you have the Justice Department phone

1910
01:56:43,452 --> 01:56:45,536
number. I would suggest you call them. I'm not the

1911
01:56:45,616 --> 01:56:48,542
one that runs the Department of the Treasury or that

1912
01:56:48,682 --> 01:56:54,053
oversees what is happening with this immunity that has been

1913
01:56:54,093 --> 01:56:56,598
granted. I'm not the one either. We follow the instructions

1914
01:56:56,638 --> 01:56:59,282
of our lawyers. We obey the law, Representative. I hope

1915
01:56:59,302 --> 01:57:03,531
that you're proud of your performance today, Mr. Secretary, because

1916
01:57:03,611 --> 01:57:09,543
I think it's pretty safe to say that this is

1917
01:57:09,623 --> 01:57:13,571
probably the most corrupt Treasury Department in our nation's history.

1918
01:57:13,852 --> 01:57:17,519
I am going to have to take exception with that.

1919
01:57:17,655 --> 01:57:20,982
I'm going to have to take exception with that. I'm

1920
01:57:21,023 --> 01:57:25,553
going to write a stern letter to the Times. And

1921
01:57:25,733 --> 01:57:28,299
I'm going to write an op-ed about you. You will

1922
01:57:28,339 --> 01:57:31,626
be in deep, deep kimchi later. I'm going to have

1923
01:57:31,646 --> 01:57:34,773
to take exception with that. While you dance around questions

1924
01:57:34,793 --> 01:57:37,908
to protect Trump, Americans are suffering in Trump's fire. I

1925
01:57:37,928 --> 01:57:48,530
know what's going on with him. You know what it

1926
01:57:48,551 --> 01:57:55,165
is? Low T. That's what's happening here. Maybe peptides are

1927
01:57:55,205 --> 01:58:05,375
needed. Anything. Anything. Oh my goodness. I'm a Besant fan.

1928
01:58:05,677 --> 01:58:10,508
But this is bad. It's just bad. No good. I

1929
01:58:10,528 --> 01:58:12,829
hope you get some good social media clips out of

1930
01:58:12,850 --> 01:58:16,750
this. Yeah, very lame. Extremely lame. And he's got that

1931
01:58:16,892 --> 01:58:20,932
nervous... sound to his voice is no good hey i

1932
01:58:21,112 --> 01:58:23,055
want to play this clip i've been holding it but

1933
01:58:23,115 --> 01:58:24,478
i just want to play this because i just think

1934
01:58:24,538 --> 01:58:28,164
this is a technology that needs to be discussed more

1935
01:58:28,684 --> 01:58:32,751
okay the x59 i don't know if you've seen pictures

1936
01:58:32,831 --> 01:58:35,896
of this thing this is a new jet no i

1937
01:58:35,936 --> 01:58:39,430
haven't i'll have to look It's a jet that can

1938
01:58:39,471 --> 01:58:44,272
go... Mach 1 point something. It goes past the speed

1939
01:58:44,332 --> 01:58:48,116
of sound with no sonic boom. How does it even

1940
01:58:48,176 --> 01:58:50,986
work? Well, that's what I like to know. But if

1941
01:58:51,027 --> 01:58:53,476
you look at the design of the thing, it's loopy

1942
01:58:53,536 --> 01:58:58,602
looking. Oh, it looks like a Concorde. Except with the

1943
01:58:58,622 --> 01:59:01,608
lore, it's just cool. It's cool looking, let's put it

1944
01:59:01,628 --> 01:59:04,594
that way. But at the same time, it doesn't, I

1945
01:59:04,634 --> 01:59:07,680
guess, stir up enough. I don't know. I have no

1946
01:59:07,780 --> 01:59:10,746
idea. The explanation is not in this report or anyplace

1947
01:59:10,846 --> 01:59:15,395
else. NASA's X-59 research aircraft is designed to fly at

1948
01:59:15,576 --> 01:59:20,185
supersonic speeds without... producing a loud sonic boom. This month,

1949
01:59:20,365 --> 01:59:24,593
the X-59 will fly supersonic in test flights at around

1950
01:59:24,613 --> 01:59:28,140
43,000 feet in altitude. That will be followed by a

1951
01:59:28,561 --> 01:59:33,371
mission conditions. That's a flight at Mach 1.4 speed and

1952
01:59:33,411 --> 01:59:37,820
an altitude of roughly 55,000 feet. NASA's goals here... are

1953
01:59:37,860 --> 01:59:41,587
to have the aircraft fly over U.S. communities to gather

1954
01:59:41,628 --> 01:59:45,556
data from the public about its quiet supersonic operation. All

1955
01:59:45,576 --> 01:59:47,941
right, I have to ask the book of knowledge. Why

1956
01:59:48,001 --> 01:59:51,829
does the X-59 aircraft not produce a sonic boom? I

1957
01:59:51,849 --> 01:59:54,053
mean, we can sit here and we can just be

1958
01:59:54,073 --> 01:59:56,017
yapping at each other, but let's ask the book of

1959
01:59:56,097 --> 02:00:00,246
knowledge who knows. all things in the universe. And so

1960
02:00:00,288 --> 02:00:03,344
here we go. According to the book of knowledge, the

1961
02:00:03,524 --> 02:00:09,158
X-59 reduces sonic booms by shaping acoustic pressure waves, preventing

1962
02:00:09,198 --> 02:00:12,627
shock waves from merging into a single boom and creating

1963
02:00:12,687 --> 02:00:18,082
instead a gentle sonic thump. Its 38-foot extended nose carefully

1964
02:00:18,203 --> 02:00:22,444
shaped fuselage and top mounted engine use the aircraft body

1965
02:00:22,504 --> 02:00:27,376
as a shield to direct and dissipate shock waves. DOS

1966
02:00:27,731 --> 02:00:30,358
It is being written. A son- okay, well that's- A

1967
02:00:30,479 --> 02:00:33,527
sonic thump. That's right, a sonic thump. Now that means

1968
02:00:33,608 --> 02:00:35,613
I would love to have them fly this thing over

1969
02:00:35,633 --> 02:00:39,338
the Bay Area, let us know. Yeah. And I want

1970
02:00:39,358 --> 02:00:41,351
to see so we can hear the sonic thump. Because

1971
02:00:41,371 --> 02:00:44,311
when I was a kid, when I was a kid

1972
02:00:44,351 --> 02:00:49,859
living in Centerville. There used to be, this was pre,

1973
02:00:49,879 --> 02:00:53,052
at some point or other, you'd hear sonic booms because

1974
02:00:53,092 --> 02:00:55,863
there was no big deal. It's like, yeah, so what?

1975
02:00:56,219 --> 02:00:59,067
And, you know, this. finally put some laws against it

1976
02:00:59,108 --> 02:01:01,562
after the I guess it broke a few windows here

1977
02:01:01,602 --> 02:01:05,802
and there around the country but It would be a

1978
02:01:05,882 --> 02:01:08,333
loud, I know exactly what a sonic boom sounds like

1979
02:01:08,414 --> 02:01:11,528
because I was, well, kind of, I can remember that.

1980
02:01:11,548 --> 02:01:16,282
It rattles the windows. It's a loud boom. It's BOOM!

1981
02:01:16,323 --> 02:01:19,470
Yeah. And it's like... Like, okay, well, that was a

1982
02:01:19,612 --> 02:01:23,255
jet. So I want to hear the sonic thump. Now,

1983
02:01:23,296 --> 02:01:26,110
here's the thing. I have been in the Concord twice,

1984
02:01:26,813 --> 02:01:30,998
which does create... booms yeah that's why i wasn't allowed

1985
02:01:31,058 --> 02:01:34,795
to fly over much of the country inside the aircraft

1986
02:01:35,197 --> 02:01:39,098
nothing What would there be? I'm just, well, you'd think

1987
02:01:39,138 --> 02:01:41,199
that if it was boom outside, you'd hear it on

1988
02:01:41,260 --> 02:01:44,862
the inside. But you don't hear it. It's a big

1989
02:01:44,922 --> 02:01:49,086
letdown. It's like a good bass note, you know, you

1990
02:01:49,126 --> 02:01:51,017
can't really hear it near the speakers. Yeah, but these

1991
02:01:51,057 --> 02:01:56,328
things are loud! But I'm in the plane. I mean,

1992
02:01:56,388 --> 02:01:58,311
I'm in the plane. I thought I would hear it.

1993
02:01:58,554 --> 02:02:02,413
I remember the pilot. I was in a plane that

1994
02:02:02,433 --> 02:02:05,158
got hit by lightning, you could hear that. Well, ladies

1995
02:02:05,198 --> 02:02:09,165
and gentlemen, welcome aboard British Airways Concorde. We'll be doing

1996
02:02:09,245 --> 02:02:12,892
Mach 2. Unfortunately, there will be no spectacular booms. This

1997
02:02:12,932 --> 02:02:15,637
is a very comfortable travel. Enjoy yourself. However, the plane

1998
02:02:15,657 --> 02:02:21,186
will elongate by 11... Cheers and flights. Enjoy. That thing

1999
02:02:21,714 --> 02:02:26,098
would get longer. while it was flying. Yeah, the SR-71

2000
02:02:26,159 --> 02:02:32,103
used to, uh... change its size and shape during high-speed

2001
02:02:32,184 --> 02:02:36,938
flight, which is why it leaked gas. Jet fuel leaked

2002
02:02:36,978 --> 02:02:40,461
all over the... runway because the thing only sealed up

2003
02:02:40,522 --> 02:02:46,502
at speed. So Logan 5 says, no, Adam. This is

2004
02:02:46,682 --> 02:02:50,737
a troll. You fly faster than the sonic wave that

2005
02:02:50,757 --> 02:02:54,030
the plane creates. Oh, that makes sense. Ah, that does

2006
02:02:54,091 --> 02:02:56,011
make sense. Yes, it does. You know what else makes

2007
02:02:56,031 --> 02:02:58,243
sense? The fact that I want to thank you for

2008
02:02:58,283 --> 02:02:59,968
your courage and say in the morning to you, the

2009
02:03:00,008 --> 02:03:02,857
man who put the sea in the chainsaw weed whacker,

2010
02:03:03,319 --> 02:03:05,466
say hello to my friend on the other end, everybody,

2011
02:03:05,506 --> 02:03:12,066
Mr. John C. Good morning, here's the Slam, Crady Marsh,

2012
02:03:12,086 --> 02:03:13,476
this is your host, the World Elite Ground Feeder, and

2013
02:03:13,496 --> 02:03:14,825
here's to the world of the Dames and Knights out

2014
02:03:14,885 --> 02:03:18,315
there. It is good to have the Noisemaker! - Come

2015
02:03:18,337 --> 02:03:26,048
on! Noiseback. I've been missing that for months. So nice.

2016
02:03:26,369 --> 02:03:30,527
Very nice. 1658. Listening live at the peak trollage here

2017
02:03:30,547 --> 02:03:35,439
at the No Agenda Show at No Agenda. noagendastream.com that

2018
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:49,028
means a lot of people are listening Thank you. The

2019
02:03:49,068 --> 02:03:52,962
legacy apps will take 15, 30 minutes, sometimes an hour.

2020
02:03:53,404 --> 02:03:56,295
So it can be even worse. But with the Podping

2021
02:03:56,315 --> 02:04:00,972
technology, oh no. No, no, no. Pod ping technology. You'll

2022
02:04:00,992 --> 02:04:05,459
get immediate notification within 90 seconds, immediate. And, of course,

2023
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:09,265
you can't stream anything live in these legacy apps. You

2024
02:04:09,285 --> 02:04:11,649
need a modern podcast app for that. So when we

2025
02:04:11,689 --> 02:04:14,754
go live, the bat signal fires. You see the notification.

2026
02:04:14,774 --> 02:04:17,017
You tap it. You're listening live. You can never forget

2027
02:04:17,077 --> 02:04:21,067
us. We're always here for you. This podcast, soon to

2028
02:04:21,127 --> 02:04:25,366
celebrate its 19th anniversary in October. Is it October 8th?

2029
02:04:25,607 --> 02:04:29,370
Somehow I have the feeling it's October 8th. 26th. 26th,

2030
02:04:29,776 --> 02:04:33,643
at the end of October. Our 19th year. Now we

2031
02:04:33,663 --> 02:04:35,461
should make it an even 20 and quit. What do

2032
02:04:35,481 --> 02:04:38,895
you say? *laughs* Well, you're going to get all the

2033
02:04:38,955 --> 02:04:42,787
lady folk upset. Don't say these things. But, I mean,

2034
02:04:42,807 --> 02:04:43,670
why don't we go out on top? I think we

2035
02:04:43,690 --> 02:04:46,279
should just go until we drop on the show. That's

2036
02:04:46,319 --> 02:04:51,484
what I'm saying. I don't mean to. *Screams* I don't...

2037
02:04:53,183 --> 02:04:56,343
All right. I want to go out on top, Ben.

2038
02:04:56,363 --> 02:04:59,157
You know, like... I want people to go. In the

2039
02:04:59,422 --> 02:05:04,760
saddle? Yeah. Instead of people going, oh, well, they died.

2040
02:05:05,261 --> 02:05:07,247
I'm like, oh, man, I miss them. We need them

2041
02:05:07,307 --> 02:05:08,891
right now. You know, we could sit there. We could

2042
02:05:08,911 --> 02:05:11,940
do bonus shows for extra money. No, you want us

2043
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,527
back? Emergency pods. Emergency pods. We could just do emergency

2044
02:05:14,568 --> 02:05:18,520
pods. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. We just do emergency

2045
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:23,024
pause like 20 minutes. Emergency pod. Trump said something. Emergency

2046
02:05:23,064 --> 02:05:27,907
pod. Anyway, I don't want to get any... Do your

2047
02:05:27,967 --> 02:05:33,645
female folk actually listen? Mine doesn't listen anymore. Yes. Mine

2048
02:05:33,685 --> 02:05:37,324
doesn't listen. Mimi listens. She's the only one left. Jay

2049
02:05:37,384 --> 02:05:39,836
will listen if she knows something about her is going

2050
02:05:39,857 --> 02:05:45,930
to be discussed. Yeah. She sent me a selfie. Oh,

2051
02:05:46,032 --> 02:05:51,726
yeah, well... I said, send me a selfie, Jay. Tina

2052
02:05:51,766 --> 02:05:54,184
wants to see what you look like. Yeah. She's so

2053
02:05:54,244 --> 02:05:58,628
cute. I'm glad she looks like her mom. Woo. Um...

2054
02:05:59,047 --> 02:06:01,371
Value for value. That's where I was. That's right. It's

2055
02:06:01,411 --> 02:06:04,938
the new international lifestyle that we have pioneered and been

2056
02:06:04,978 --> 02:06:09,707
living for these almost 19 years. Living the mac and

2057
02:06:09,747 --> 02:06:15,377
cheese life. And that means that we don't force ads

2058
02:06:15,437 --> 02:06:18,307
in your face. We don't. to make you subscribe to

2059
02:06:18,347 --> 02:06:21,742
get the bonus content. We also don't have, you know,

2060
02:06:21,762 --> 02:06:23,932
like tote bags or anything like that. We had them,

2061
02:06:23,952 --> 02:06:25,579
but they were toxic, so we got rid of them.

2062
02:06:26,095 --> 02:06:28,539
They were from China. No one ever got a tote

2063
02:06:28,579 --> 02:06:32,373
bag. Instead, we just say, hey, what do you think?

2064
02:06:32,675 --> 02:06:34,246
Did you get any value out of the show? If

2065
02:06:34,266 --> 02:06:36,713
you did, send some value back to us. We love

2066
02:06:36,793 --> 02:06:40,216
time, we love talent, and we love treasure. And the

2067
02:06:40,256 --> 02:06:43,326
time and talent part works in many ways. You can

2068
02:06:43,406 --> 02:06:46,497
do it like we had to medical folk right in.

2069
02:06:46,577 --> 02:06:49,125
This is very valuable to the show. We appreciate stuff

2070
02:06:49,165 --> 02:06:53,346
like that. In this case, when it comes to the

2071
02:06:53,386 --> 02:06:56,563
artwork, not only did we get a fun piece of

2072
02:06:56,664 --> 02:06:58,654
art. We also got a cool movie out of it.

2073
02:06:59,096 --> 02:07:01,006
See, this is what we have to remember. Whenever we

2074
02:07:01,127 --> 02:07:05,852
choose Scaramanga's art... He always makes a cool movie. Did

2075
02:07:05,893 --> 02:07:09,049
you see the little video he did? I missed it.

2076
02:07:09,818 --> 02:07:13,442
It's on the tweeters. Check it out. So we titled

2077
02:07:13,502 --> 02:07:16,561
the episode The Kennel Index. How is the kennel, by

2078
02:07:16,601 --> 02:07:19,187
the way? Is the kennel full? Is it draining? I

2079
02:07:19,407 --> 02:07:22,734
didn't ask. Well, you got to ask. I know. It's

2080
02:07:22,754 --> 02:07:26,622
how indexes work. Yes. We have to know. Can we

2081
02:07:26,662 --> 02:07:29,006
put some AI into our index? The kennel index. We

2082
02:07:29,027 --> 02:07:32,093
got to put a camera at the kennel. Yes. Yes.

2083
02:07:32,213 --> 02:07:35,601
There you go. Like the old coffee pot cam. Remember

2084
02:07:35,621 --> 02:07:37,050
back in the day? Oh, we could see what the

2085
02:07:37,090 --> 02:07:40,491
coffee pots were. Bird cams. Bird cams. Bird cams, yes.

2086
02:07:40,511 --> 02:07:44,462
I had the Empire State cam for a while. This

2087
02:07:44,522 --> 02:07:47,312
was done by Francisco Scaramanga. He is an expert in

2088
02:07:47,975 --> 02:07:51,066
usually babes. And it was just too funny what he

2089
02:07:51,106 --> 02:07:55,211
did. He had this goofy looking dude. Like a 50s,

2090
02:07:55,231 --> 02:07:59,779
like... Madman type dude all jacked on peptides. A big

2091
02:08:00,223 --> 02:08:04,266
no agenda testosterone pot next to him. And he's rubbing

2092
02:08:04,346 --> 02:08:07,074
the cream on his balls, which is a football, a

2093
02:08:07,114 --> 02:08:11,768
basketball, and a soccer ball, accentuated by the text, just

2094
02:08:11,848 --> 02:08:16,045
rub it on your balls. I mean, everybody laughed. Everybody

2095
02:08:16,126 --> 02:08:18,275
thought this was great. I think the fact that he's

2096
02:08:18,315 --> 02:08:21,328
wearing short white shorts with his leg spread kind of

2097
02:08:21,409 --> 02:08:28,443
helped. Made a little extra gay. Um... And there were

2098
02:08:28,463 --> 02:08:31,425
a couple other people who did similar things. Let's see.

2099
02:08:31,465 --> 02:08:36,179
Looking at noagendaartgenerator.com. We had, uh... Oh, wow, I've got

2100
02:08:36,220 --> 02:08:39,808
a lot of screw worm stuff for today. um where

2101
02:08:39,888 --> 02:08:41,822
was it wow i had to scroll away oh yeah

2102
02:08:41,842 --> 02:08:45,845
we had darren o'neill Yeah, Darren had a couple of

2103
02:08:45,865 --> 02:08:50,682
good pieces. Blue Acorn had the teabag. We liked that.

2104
02:08:50,722 --> 02:08:54,796
It was a close runner-up. Yeah, the teabag was second,

2105
02:08:55,238 --> 02:08:59,038
I would say. Close runner-up. That would be second. And

2106
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:01,992
then there was a lot of women made to smile.

2107
02:09:03,478 --> 02:09:05,668
And they were pretty good too, but just nothing quite

2108
02:09:05,729 --> 02:09:09,948
as good as a Scaramanga's piece. I thought that was,

2109
02:09:10,470 --> 02:09:12,660
we loved it. We really did. It was, we laughed.

2110
02:09:13,002 --> 02:09:14,770
Did we laugh out loud or did we laugh out

2111
02:09:14,790 --> 02:09:17,465
loud? I think we laughed out loud. I think we

2112
02:09:17,505 --> 02:09:21,339
lulled, for sure. It was silly. It's silly. And that's

2113
02:09:21,359 --> 02:09:23,687
what we love about it. We love silly. It's great.

2114
02:09:24,715 --> 02:09:27,464
Now in the treasure department... This is where you can

2115
02:09:27,504 --> 02:09:31,751
go to noagendadonations.com, and we really appreciate it when people

2116
02:09:31,811 --> 02:09:35,089
do that. And you can send us whatever you think

2117
02:09:35,130 --> 02:09:38,568
the show is worth. People love numerology. And of course,

2118
02:09:38,669 --> 02:09:41,919
we don't really know what's valuable to you. You know,

2119
02:09:41,939 --> 02:09:43,906
$5 may be a lot of money to you. Well,

2120
02:09:43,926 --> 02:09:46,153
we appreciate that just as much as someone who sends

2121
02:09:46,173 --> 02:09:50,637
$5, $500. Because that may be different for them. It's

2122
02:09:50,677 --> 02:09:53,911
value for value. Somehow it all kind of evens out.

2123
02:09:54,112 --> 02:09:56,527
It's a bit of a roller coaster, this international... lifestyle,

2124
02:09:56,547 --> 02:09:58,831
but it evens out and we feel good about it.

2125
02:09:59,283 --> 02:10:05,485
I love the... The spammer we have on our No

2126
02:10:05,525 --> 02:10:10,031
Agenda Insta. Who is telling us, I never understand this.

2127
02:10:10,451 --> 02:10:13,566
Donations will go up if you tell everybody that Tucker

2128
02:10:13,586 --> 02:10:17,740
should be president. He's the true representative MAGA. And the

2129
02:10:17,820 --> 02:10:19,965
far left and the far right have to get on

2130
02:10:20,066 --> 02:10:23,755
board with everything anti-Israel. I mean, do people really think

2131
02:10:23,775 --> 02:10:29,967
that that works? Can you imagine thinking that Tucker? I

2132
02:10:30,028 --> 02:10:35,920
mean... Tucker Carlson doesn't want to be president. I'm being

2133
02:10:35,941 --> 02:10:38,784
a meaghe, baby. We talked into running, but it's a

2134
02:10:38,964 --> 02:10:44,555
farce. And they're associating him with like Spencer Pratt and

2135
02:10:44,615 --> 02:10:47,822
Trump. Because you have, oh, you got these guys that

2136
02:10:47,842 --> 02:10:50,848
they didn't have any experience. Trump has been running for

2137
02:10:50,948 --> 02:10:57,153
president since the 1980s. He's talked about it. Yeah, new

2138
02:10:57,173 --> 02:10:59,984
book, new book, I'm running for president. For at least

2139
02:11:00,004 --> 02:11:04,843
16 years before he actually ran. Yeah. And so then...

2140
02:11:05,199 --> 02:11:07,286
And it was predicted by the Simpsons. I mean, it

2141
02:11:07,347 --> 02:11:11,883
wasn't like some surprise. And he's always been somewhat political.

2142
02:11:11,923 --> 02:11:13,910
The other guys that are high profile is people like

2143
02:11:13,990 --> 02:11:18,523
Ronald Reagan, who is high profile. He was the governor

2144
02:11:18,543 --> 02:11:22,571
of California. Okay, let's discount that. He was the head

2145
02:11:22,611 --> 02:11:26,900
of the Screen Actors Guild, I believe. And he was

2146
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:29,425
a left-winger turned right-winger, which a lot of these guys

2147
02:11:29,485 --> 02:11:33,012
do that. And Spencer Pratt has got a bone to

2148
02:11:33,093 --> 02:11:37,481
pick. He's very dedicated to trying to... fix Los Angeles

2149
02:11:37,541 --> 02:11:39,886
is just a mayoral thing. It's not a big deal

2150
02:11:40,548 --> 02:11:44,235
in terms of like national spotlight, like Tucker being president.

2151
02:11:44,596 --> 02:11:48,544
It's stupid. Let me read this guy's post, his comment

2152
02:11:48,584 --> 02:11:51,710
verbatim. It's pretty funny. The Israel issue is going to

2153
02:11:51,810 --> 02:11:55,718
drastically reduce donations. I've been listening to no agenda since

2154
02:11:55,738 --> 02:11:58,875
Obama. And it's hard to hear them sound so out

2155
02:11:58,915 --> 02:12:04,102
of touch. Ancient boomers every time the... Ancient? Ancient boomers

2156
02:12:04,503 --> 02:12:08,148
every time the... What? Every time the Israel issue comes

2157
02:12:08,268 --> 02:12:11,994
up. Israel is the most important issue of times. John

2158
02:12:12,014 --> 02:12:14,417
and Adam seem to like the idea of Rubio for

2159
02:12:14,477 --> 02:12:18,104
president instead of Tucker. which is insane. The next president

2160
02:12:18,184 --> 02:12:25,298
must be actively anti-Israel, not anti-Jewish people, just anti-Israel. That's

2161
02:12:25,378 --> 02:12:31,378
great. Yeah, and this guy's writing constantly. Oh yeah. He's

2162
02:12:31,479 --> 02:12:35,991
a troll. Well, can't you block him? Maybe I- Jay

2163
02:12:36,031 --> 02:12:37,734
would know. Not that you should. I mean, I think

2164
02:12:37,794 --> 02:12:39,697
it's hilarious. I'm not going to block him. He's okay.

2165
02:12:40,057 --> 02:12:41,579
Yeah, I think it's hilarious. I mean, he's adding some

2166
02:12:41,679 --> 02:12:46,046
demand. I told him the same. I told Jay is

2167
02:12:46,626 --> 02:12:49,410
our social media person. Well, Jay is more than our

2168
02:12:49,491 --> 02:12:52,154
social media person. No, but that's one of her jobs.

2169
02:12:52,335 --> 02:12:55,519
Yeah. And so she's doing the whole thing. The instant.

2170
02:12:55,499 --> 02:12:57,271
told her when you get these things she what did

2171
02:12:57,291 --> 02:13:00,693
i say about this guy she says this guy's annoying

2172
02:13:01,176 --> 02:13:06,188
and so uh I said, and I said... And I

2173
02:13:06,249 --> 02:13:08,541
wrote a little ditty up for her to just keep

2174
02:13:08,641 --> 02:13:12,803
posting, which is a reference to the no agenda mission.

2175
02:13:13,159 --> 02:13:18,704
Yes. Go to noagendashow.com and read the mission statement. You'll

2176
02:13:18,764 --> 02:13:22,991
find a link to it. And that's the answer. We

2177
02:13:23,032 --> 02:13:27,199
don't promote anybody for president. We think Rubio's going to

2178
02:13:27,259 --> 02:13:31,887
be the president. We're not taking part in his campaign.

2179
02:13:32,275 --> 02:13:37,412
No. No. Let me read the mission statement. Where is

2180
02:13:37,452 --> 02:13:39,860
our mission statement? You sure it's on there? And of

2181
02:13:39,900 --> 02:13:42,653
course it is. Where's the mission statement? It's down, go

2182
02:13:42,694 --> 02:13:44,442
to the bottom. It has all those links at the

2183
02:13:44,502 --> 02:13:49,832
bottom. You see the mission statement. You know, you say

2184
02:13:49,893 --> 02:13:53,391
that. It's on the left pile of links. I'm looking

2185
02:13:53,432 --> 02:13:55,710
at the left. At the bottom. I'm looking at the...

2186
02:13:55,730 --> 02:13:57,652
Oh, no agenda mission statement. Here we go. Oh my

2187
02:13:57,713 --> 02:14:00,935
goodness. Who wrote this? You've seen this before. I had

2188
02:14:00,955 --> 02:14:05,472
you put it there. The No Agenda is a podcasting

2189
02:14:05,693 --> 02:14:10,817
LLC whose goal... is to deconstruct the news media to

2190
02:14:10,897 --> 02:14:14,476
reveal slanted stories and the reasoning for slanted or misleading

2191
02:14:14,556 --> 02:14:18,135
reporting. The purpose is not to critique or discredit news

2192
02:14:18,155 --> 02:14:22,789
reports, but through media deconstruction to find the actual underlying

2193
02:14:22,869 --> 02:14:26,479
story to give the audience a realistic understanding of current

2194
02:14:26,539 --> 02:14:30,330
affairs and events and provide a normalized, objective understanding of

2195
02:14:30,390 --> 02:14:35,636
them. Now, unfortunately, people don't like what we conclude. some

2196
02:14:35,676 --> 02:14:39,765
people. No agenda has no political motivations and does no

2197
02:14:40,587 --> 02:14:44,455
original reporting, but does do original research on stories as

2198
02:14:44,515 --> 02:14:47,061
needed. On occasion, the show will read and disseminate what

2199
02:14:47,121 --> 02:14:50,328
it calls boots on the ground reporting, which replaces letters

2200
02:14:50,388 --> 02:14:53,796
to the editor, dear Abby, and is used as background

2201
02:14:53,856 --> 02:14:57,546
information. In some cases, outsiders will be contacted to clarify

2202
02:14:57,586 --> 02:15:00,535
a fact to improve analysis. These boots on the ground

2203
02:15:00,575 --> 02:15:03,463
reports are provided by the audience of producers who voluntarily

2204
02:15:03,524 --> 02:15:07,250
contribute these messages to the show. There's a lot more

2205
02:15:07,312 --> 02:15:11,839
here. That's right. We have adopted an open source approach

2206
02:15:11,879 --> 02:15:17,062
to its content and trademark name. Notice. allowing third parties

2207
02:15:17,142 --> 02:15:20,752
to leverage the show to produce related products such as

2208
02:15:20,852 --> 02:15:24,501
branded t-shirts and mugs. This also means that anyone can

2209
02:15:24,562 --> 02:15:27,349
post the final produced show on their own sites. Yes,

2210
02:15:27,429 --> 02:15:31,910
that's right. That's right. Correct. I'm all in. It's very

2211
02:15:31,951 --> 02:15:34,472
good. That's our mission statement. Go read the whole thing,

2212
02:15:34,492 --> 02:15:38,787
people. It's worth it. So that is the time and

2213
02:15:38,848 --> 02:15:42,425
talent. Now, we love the treasure, obviously, so it keeps

2214
02:15:42,907 --> 02:15:47,124
the fires burning here at HQ. And we always thank

2215
02:15:47,224 --> 02:15:50,237
everybody who sends us $50 or more. Of course, we

2216
02:15:50,298 --> 02:15:53,271
see the spreadsheet. We see everybody under $50, but there's

2217
02:15:53,291 --> 02:15:55,219
a lot of people who don't want to be mentioned.

2218
02:15:55,259 --> 02:15:58,165
So for anonymity and brevity's sake, we don't do all

2219
02:15:58,205 --> 02:16:02,714
of those. But we do thank people, specifically those who

2220
02:16:02,814 --> 02:16:05,820
are able to send us $200 or more, between $200

2221
02:16:05,860 --> 02:16:08,886
and $300. Not only are we guaranteed to read your

2222
02:16:08,946 --> 02:16:11,492
note, but we'll also give you the title of Associate

2223
02:16:11,532 --> 02:16:15,219
Executive Producer. And $300 or more gets you an executive.

2224
02:16:15,199 --> 02:16:18,105
producership, which you can see thousands of people have done

2225
02:16:18,145 --> 02:16:21,271
by going to imdb.com. But you can also search for

2226
02:16:21,311 --> 02:16:24,477
it on LinkedIn, Twitter. You see people all over the

2227
02:16:24,517 --> 02:16:28,125
place. And we have a peerage ladder, $1,000 in aggregate

2228
02:16:28,225 --> 02:16:31,431
over. It doesn't matter how many years or decades, in

2229
02:16:31,491 --> 02:16:34,177
this case, you can become a knight or dame of

2230
02:16:34,217 --> 02:16:36,706
the NO Agenda Roundtable. But we start off today in

2231
02:16:37,531 --> 02:16:42,559
Allentown, New Jersey, with Sir Dr. Vasant Lord of Cotland.

2232
02:16:43,267 --> 02:16:49,563
And he sends us $1,030.26. So that is likely $1,000.

2233
02:16:49,884 --> 02:16:51,809
He added the fees. We're very thankful for that. He

2234
02:16:51,849 --> 02:16:56,525
says, ITM, health karma for all. Sir Dr. Vasant. Lord

2235
02:16:56,665 --> 02:16:59,916
of Cotland, future Red Knight. Well, sir, you, in fact,

2236
02:16:59,957 --> 02:17:02,445
will be a Red Knight today. And here is that

2237
02:17:02,505 --> 02:17:04,693
health karma for all. He's a doctor, after all. You've

2238
02:17:04,733 --> 02:17:17,212
got karma. Onward with Richard Gerhart. in Macomb. McComb. Michigan.

2239
02:17:17,599 --> 02:17:25,601
same thing, 103026. Uh, ITM? I've been a $4 a

2240
02:17:25,681 --> 02:17:30,559
week contributor. Very popular, by the way. Wow. But enjoy

2241
02:17:30,599 --> 02:17:33,630
the show so much, I could not resist becoming a

2242
02:17:33,690 --> 02:17:37,978
Red Knight. Please call me Sir Richard. The open-hearted. Ooh.

2243
02:17:38,882 --> 02:17:42,978
Ooh, that is good. Thanks for your courage, perspective, and

2244
02:17:43,018 --> 02:17:48,213
insights, Richard Gerhardt, Rich Gerhardt in Macomb, Michigan. On to

2245
02:17:48,333 --> 02:17:52,708
Sir Anonymous, the Viscount of the ADFC and Arapahoe County

2246
02:17:52,989 --> 02:17:58,123
in Aurora, Colorado, $369.99. in a note. which is very

2247
02:17:58,184 --> 02:18:01,107
nice. It is very colorful. Did it on Mac paint,

2248
02:18:01,228 --> 02:18:06,389
I think. This note from Synonymous, the Vicon of ADFC

2249
02:18:06,429 --> 02:18:08,376
in Arapahoe County, for the show. Thank you for your

2250
02:18:08,436 --> 02:18:11,447
courage and your continued deconstruction. It has been far too

2251
02:18:11,487 --> 02:18:17,137
long since my last tithing. Please de-douche me. Happy to

2252
02:18:17,158 --> 02:18:23,062
do that. You've been dedouched. No jingles, no karma. Sir

2253
02:18:23,102 --> 02:18:26,152
Anonymous, Vicon of the ADFC in the Arapahoe County. He

2254
02:18:26,212 --> 02:18:28,379
does say below here about this donation, the amount of

2255
02:18:28,399 --> 02:18:32,853
$369.99 is something I like to call the triple intel

2256
02:18:32,973 --> 02:18:37,772
threat. That's... Oh, treat. I'm sorry. Triple Intel treat. He

2257
02:18:37,853 --> 02:18:41,198
even says that's treat, not threat. Triple Intel treat. As

2258
02:18:41,238 --> 02:18:43,722
I've donated this amount before, a brief explanation may suffice.

2259
02:18:43,762 --> 02:18:49,412
It's related to Executive Order 12333. Ah, EO12333. Some of

2260
02:18:49,432 --> 02:18:51,715
the no agenda spooks may know what that is, but

2261
02:18:51,735 --> 02:18:55,526
the number 12333 also has... special meaning to the numerologists

2262
02:18:55,586 --> 02:18:57,915
amongst us. Here you have the power of three in

2263
02:18:57,956 --> 02:19:03,597
many forms. 1, 2, 3.33 times 3 is 369.99. Wow,

2264
02:19:03,698 --> 02:19:07,279
perhaps you noticed that 369.99 is 3 followed by 6,

2265
02:19:07,319 --> 02:19:10,115
which is 3 plus 3, and the Jews did it.

2266
02:19:10,695 --> 02:19:13,919
I'm sorry. That's usually what comes out of those things.

2267
02:19:14,247 --> 02:19:16,661
Followed by 9, which is 3 plus 3 plus 3,

2268
02:19:16,762 --> 02:19:19,317
or 3 times 3, ending with 99, which is 33

2269
02:19:19,377 --> 02:19:23,652
times 3. Wow. The guy is really into his numbers,

2270
02:19:23,672 --> 02:19:33,932
John. Did you mute yourself? It looks like we won't

2271
02:19:33,953 --> 02:19:38,523
make it. to 20 years. You're back. Yeah. What happened?

2272
02:19:38,544 --> 02:19:41,754
That took a long time. Yeah, well, you know why?

2273
02:19:41,774 --> 02:19:46,945
No, I'm curious. I moved the chair, unplugged the router,

2274
02:19:47,065 --> 02:19:49,750
which was tangled up in the chair, the wire on

2275
02:19:49,791 --> 02:19:53,278
the floor, pulled the thing down and then jerked it

2276
02:19:53,298 --> 02:19:55,580
around so much. I couldn't get it back on. So

2277
02:19:55,640 --> 02:19:59,531
I had. So I'm thinking I could get it going,

2278
02:19:59,551 --> 02:20:04,440
but no. And so... Wow. Something got bent. So I

2279
02:20:04,540 --> 02:20:08,888
ended up having to switch networks to a Wi-Fi third

2280
02:20:08,988 --> 02:20:12,114
backup that I have downstairs, which is an AT&T connection.

2281
02:20:12,575 --> 02:20:14,919
That is a boomer move if I've ever heard one.

2282
02:20:15,311 --> 02:20:19,146
Awesome. Awesome. I'm going to leave some of that in

2283
02:20:19,206 --> 02:20:24,427
the show. That was pretty good. It was ludicrous. Anyway.

2284
02:20:24,751 --> 02:20:28,894
Thank you very much, Sir Anonymous, the Viscount of the

2285
02:20:29,095 --> 02:20:32,715
ADFC in Arapahoe County, for your many, many number threes.

2286
02:20:33,743 --> 02:20:38,541
Yeah, um... Now we go to Sir Carl of Cary,

2287
02:20:39,164 --> 02:20:42,196
which he calls himself such because he's in Cary, North

2288
02:20:42,256 --> 02:20:47,959
Carolina. 340-375. He says, my wife saw the sad puppy,

2289
02:20:48,380 --> 02:20:51,268
which was the last newsletter, and I explained what it

2290
02:20:51,308 --> 02:20:53,955
was about. She actually told me I should send in

2291
02:20:54,156 --> 02:20:58,006
a donation. And it's been too long since the last

2292
02:20:58,227 --> 02:21:01,923
one. Good woman you married to. Yes, you did. Also,

2293
02:21:02,003 --> 02:21:04,313
I want to make sure you guys don't run out

2294
02:21:04,454 --> 02:21:13,406
of... What? A ball? Oh, ball cream. Yes, ball cream.

2295
02:21:13,446 --> 02:21:16,119
That's a joke for you. That's a reference to the...

2296
02:21:16,415 --> 02:21:18,692
Yeah. Thank you for your courage. I'm sorry I said

2297
02:21:18,732 --> 02:21:25,305
that. Sir Kerry, Carla Kerry. Yes, ball creep. There's Dennis

2298
02:21:25,366 --> 02:21:30,559
Cato, Tampa, Florida. 333.33. And Dennis says, we have been

2299
02:21:30,619 --> 02:21:32,766
on such a journey over the six weeks since we

2300
02:21:32,806 --> 02:21:36,037
decided to start supporting the podcast. And Adam gave us

2301
02:21:36,098 --> 02:21:38,695
a shout out. for the pain relief gel. Seems like

2302
02:21:38,897 --> 02:21:42,443
pain is the one thing everyone has in common nowadays.

2303
02:21:43,023 --> 02:21:45,770
Oh, this is Manuka Gold, people. We began Manuka Gold

2304
02:21:45,790 --> 02:21:47,855
with the idea that everyone should have the freedom to

2305
02:21:47,936 --> 02:21:50,703
handle and manage their own pain when however they want

2306
02:21:50,763 --> 02:21:53,149
without having to be at the mercy of a never-ending

2307
02:21:53,229 --> 02:21:57,362
gatekeepers of medical system that often rejects natural solutions. even

2308
02:21:57,422 --> 02:21:59,861
if they work. If you've heard about Manuka Gold and

2309
02:21:59,902 --> 02:22:02,039
our products in a previous show but haven't pulled the

2310
02:22:02,099 --> 02:22:05,956
trigger... We want to give you that extra nudge ahead

2311
02:22:05,996 --> 02:22:08,702
of Father's Day to put pain relief into your hands

2312
02:22:08,823 --> 02:22:12,771
rather than, rather that be for migraines, muscle pain, back

2313
02:22:12,791 --> 02:22:15,157
pain, or really any other type of topical pain. No,

2314
02:22:15,197 --> 02:22:17,457

02:23:59,370 --> 02:24:03,522
a way for Adam or you to offload unwanted stuff.

2337
02:24:03,563 --> 02:24:07,816
Smiley face. Sir. A rock rock. A Eric. A K

2339
02:24:13,089 --> 02:24:16,881
associate executive producer with $250, Sir Woody the Phantom. from

2340
02:24:16,961 --> 02:24:19,596
Madison, New Jersey. A lot of New Jerseyites. Hello, New

2341
02:24:19,656 --> 02:24:24,441
Jersey. And sends a nice note. which I have here.

2342
02:24:24,521 --> 02:24:26,728
ITM John Adam, thank you for your hard work. I'm

2343
02:24:26,788 --> 02:24:29,958
glad John is back and better than ever. Jury's out.

2344
02:24:30,600 --> 02:24:34,892
Mimi, actually, you are better than ever. I've never, like

2345
02:24:34,912 --> 02:24:38,220
you are today and the last show. Fantastic. And now

2346
02:24:38,240 --> 02:24:41,718
that you got your noisemakers back, I can just sense

2347
02:24:41,778 --> 02:24:43,688
the joy. Are you sleeping at the house as well

2348
02:24:43,769 --> 02:24:47,028
or just doing the show there? Well, my bedroom's a

2349
02:24:47,068 --> 02:24:51,433
mess, so I'm sleeping up at the other house. So

2350
02:24:51,474 --> 02:24:57,519
I'm going to this... Cardiac rehab is special for you

2351
02:24:57,540 --> 02:25:03,781
know, people that had. Issues. issues. My legs are like

2352
02:25:03,842 --> 02:25:08,035
rubber. Rubber? Yeah, I got on one of these machines

2353
02:25:08,096 --> 02:25:12,599
for an hour. Oh, no. Do they have that mask

2354
02:25:12,679 --> 02:25:16,276
on your face too? You gotta... No, luckily nobody's masked

2355
02:25:16,437 --> 02:25:19,714
up. Not me. One of those that measures your lung

2356
02:25:19,774 --> 02:25:23,684
pressure. No, but no, you have an EKG hookup and

2357
02:25:23,724 --> 02:25:25,549
then they keep checking your blood pressure so you don't

2358
02:25:25,589 --> 02:25:27,614
drop dead on one of the machines. Yeah, that would

2359
02:25:27,634 --> 02:25:31,657
suck. I mean, I guess it's happened. If you're going

2360
02:25:31,697 --> 02:25:33,605
to die, do it on the show. Don't do it

2361
02:25:33,666 --> 02:25:35,614
on the treadmill at the hospital. That's no good. You

2362
02:25:35,634 --> 02:25:37,366
know, so there's a bunch of, yeah. I know, I

2363
02:25:37,528 --> 02:25:42,308
realize I have enough. I have enough background in the

2364
02:25:42,348 --> 02:25:44,854
biz to know to do this. To know what to

2365
02:25:44,894 --> 02:25:51,609
do. You know how show business works. Exactly. This is

2366
02:25:51,689 --> 02:25:55,303
dark, people. Onward with Sir Woody the Phantom's Note. Mimi

2367
02:25:55,344 --> 02:25:58,969
did a great job covering in John's. absence. I enjoy

2368
02:25:58,989 --> 02:26:01,898
the tips of the day. They are very useful. What

2369
02:26:01,998 --> 02:26:03,764
is the name of the song that plays on the

2370
02:26:03,884 --> 02:26:09,752
outro? It's quite lovely. Yes, that is... Oh, goodness. I

2371
02:26:09,773 --> 02:26:13,919
keep forgetting, it's this, I think it's this... Starland Vocal

2372
02:26:13,939 --> 02:26:20,817
Trio. Let me see. That was the olden days. Those

2373
02:26:20,857 --> 02:26:23,884
were all public domain songs that you had somehow created

2374
02:26:23,924 --> 02:26:27,477
a website for. So you could use the... Right? I

2375
02:26:27,518 --> 02:26:32,318
don't remember. I do. Um... Let me see if I

2376
02:26:32,359 --> 02:26:35,847
can find it. I should, I should, I'll find it

2377
02:26:35,887 --> 02:26:39,014
for next show. like the pod free or something called

2378
02:26:39,235 --> 02:26:44,953
oh oh you mean the um the uh Oh, goodness.

2379
02:26:45,534 --> 02:26:47,078
You don't even keep up with all the stuff you're

2380
02:26:47,118 --> 02:26:50,566
doing. Yeah, well, you know, it's... Hey, low T. What

2381
02:26:50,586 --> 02:26:51,949
can I tell you? You know, hey, there was a

2382
02:26:52,069 --> 02:26:55,517
show. There was an operation called Pod Show. Yes. You

2383
02:26:55,597 --> 02:27:00,278
ran it. Do you know that? Yes, I do. It

2384
02:27:00,339 --> 02:27:04,900
was Podsafe Music Network. Thank you. The Podsafe Music Network.

2385
02:27:04,920 --> 02:27:07,268
You said thank you to somebody in the chat room

2386
02:27:07,308 --> 02:27:09,295
who came up with it? No, I said myself. I

2387
02:27:09,335 --> 02:27:11,021
wasn't even looking at the chat room. Oh, okay. You

2388
02:27:11,382 --> 02:27:14,172
thanked yourself. I'm still looking for the music and I

2389
02:27:14,232 --> 02:27:17,258
can't find it. I mean, I have the music, obviously,

2390
02:27:17,380 --> 02:27:22,937
but the... It just says, "NA closer, tune easy," but

2391
02:27:22,977 --> 02:27:24,627
that's not the fun. I'll find it for you. I'll

2392
02:27:24,668 --> 02:27:28,775
find it. Okay? Promise I'll find it. Uhhhhhhh... And so

2393
02:27:28,815 --> 02:27:31,024
I'll find it. I'd like some house search karma doggy

2394
02:27:31,064 --> 02:27:41,509
style please. Well yes, we got that. . our minds.

2395
02:27:45,895 --> 02:27:51,374
Where was that? Huh? Which one did you read? Oh,

2396
02:27:51,434 --> 02:27:54,170
the note, the third note. Oh, so I'm on La

2397
02:27:54,191 --> 02:27:57,027

02:39:31,661 --> 02:39:35,989
layaway night coming up. So I'm going to read his

2553
02:39:36,089 --> 02:39:41,600
note. It is Bobby Bow from Bluegrass, Iowa. And Bobby

2554
02:39:41,660 --> 02:39:44,405
says, I'd like to dedicate my layaway nighthood posthumously to

2555
02:39:44,445 --> 02:39:47,827
my dad, Hank. My dad became a no-agenda listener after

2556
02:39:47,887 --> 02:39:49,419
I punched him in the mouth in the summer of

2557
02:39:49,427 --> 02:39:53,580
2024. Sadly, my dad passed away unexpectedly in March of

2558
02:39:53,600 --> 02:39:58,415
2025. There's never a good time, never an expected time.

2559
02:39:58,963 --> 02:40:02,735
My dad was a conspiracy therapist and follower of Christ.

2560
02:40:02,856 --> 02:40:04,762
It would mean the world to me to bestow this

2561
02:40:04,862 --> 02:40:07,852

2626
02:44:15,149 --> 02:44:18,944

Always a party. noagendameetups.com. *music* ♪ ♪ Remember we have

2664
02:46:44,436 --> 02:46:47,913
John's revised tip of the day coming up. I'm very

2665
02:46:47,933 --> 02:46:50,265
excited what this revision is. I mean, I've never really

2666
02:46:50,305 --> 02:46:52,880
had any influence on him at all, and certainly not

2667
02:46:52,940 --> 02:46:54,349
on the tip of the day, so this should be

2668
02:46:54,389 --> 02:46:57,396
fun. But before we get to that and our end

2669
02:46:57,456 --> 02:46:59,428
of show mixes, we have to select the end of

2670
02:46:59,509 --> 02:47:01,601
show ISO, which will be played at the very end

2671
02:47:01,642 --> 02:47:05,439
of the show. I've got three and seems like you've

2672
02:47:05,460 --> 02:47:08,917
got some celebrity ISOs, so I will go first. Are

2673
02:47:08,937 --> 02:47:12,053
you ready? Yeah, here comes bend over. Man, maybe these

2674
02:47:12,093 --> 02:47:16,643
conspiracy people are right about everything. a little on the

2675
02:47:16,684 --> 02:47:19,798
long side, but I kind of liked it. Yeah, season

2676
02:47:19,819 --> 02:47:23,039
number two? That about sums it up. Got cut off.

2677
02:47:23,100 --> 02:47:25,154
What? No, it's no good. It's no good. It's no

2678
02:47:25,195 --> 02:47:28,619
good. Here's one. We've done it for a long time.

2679
02:47:30,123 --> 02:47:33,028
I kind of like my first... Man, maybe these conspiracy

2680
02:47:33,069 --> 02:47:35,734
people are right about everything. All right. Yeah, I kind

2681
02:47:35,754 --> 02:47:37,417
of like that one, too. It's good. Let's see what

2682
02:47:37,457 --> 02:47:39,681
you have. Well, I got some celebrities. I got... You

2683
02:47:40,162 --> 02:47:41,825
know, I've been going to these different sites. There are

2684
02:47:41,865 --> 02:47:44,270
just a million of them now. Yeah. I think a

2685
02:47:44,330 --> 02:47:47,155
lot of them are basing on the same... Model. Models.

2686
02:47:47,275 --> 02:47:49,219
It's hard to say. Some of these models are no...

2687
02:47:49,199 --> 02:47:53,823
good. This is, for example, Morgan Freeman. The No Agenda

2688
02:47:53,843 --> 02:47:57,869
podcast is great, so donate. Doesn't sound like him at

2689
02:47:57,970 --> 02:48:00,231
all. I know a guy who can do Morgan Friedman.

2690
02:48:01,163 --> 02:48:04,336
We'll have him do some jingles. I will. I will.

2691
02:48:04,919 --> 02:48:08,172
Yes, I agree. It's not that one that I'm dumping

2692
02:48:08,212 --> 02:48:11,434
that one out of the player. That's no good. Here's

2693
02:48:11,494 --> 02:48:15,169
Trump. Folks, make podcasting great again with the No Agenda

2694
02:48:15,209 --> 02:48:23,131
podcast and donate today. Also close, but... Not, it's not

2695
02:48:23,352 --> 02:48:26,304
really him, you know, I didn't really, let me hear

2696
02:48:26,324 --> 02:48:29,075
it again. Folks, make podcasting great again with the No

2697
02:48:29,095 --> 02:48:33,963
Agenda podcast. and donate today. It's like Trump and Jason

2698
02:48:34,003 --> 02:48:38,592
Calacanis had a kid and then made an ISO. No,

2699
02:48:38,913 --> 02:48:41,218
I have to reject it. I'm sorry. It's just not

2700
02:48:41,298 --> 02:48:44,145
good enough. Well, I'm not going to argue the point

2701
02:48:44,205 --> 02:48:47,532
because the thing that bothers me about their model for

2702
02:48:47,572 --> 02:48:52,078
Trump is he can't end a sentence. Right. And donate

2703
02:48:52,178 --> 02:48:56,208
today. Yeah, no, it's no good. Believe me, I worked

2704
02:48:56,288 --> 02:49:00,338
it. I spent a good 10 minutes changing the copy

2705
02:49:00,999 --> 02:49:03,144
and I still couldn't get the ending to come out

2706
02:49:03,204 --> 02:49:05,991
correctly. It was also almost as long as the podcast

2707
02:49:06,051 --> 02:49:11,303
itself. So that was. It wasn't that bad. Yours is

2708
02:49:11,343 --> 02:49:14,316
long. Okay, what's the timing on yours? The one that

2709
02:49:14,337 --> 02:49:16,265
you're going to pick and this one, I think yours

2710
02:49:16,326 --> 02:49:19,624
is longer. No. Mine is three seconds. Yours is five

2711
02:49:19,685 --> 02:49:23,656
seconds. I will play them at the same time. To

2712
02:49:23,737 --> 02:49:26,896
prove my point. 3, 2, 1. Folks, make podcasting great

2713
02:49:26,917 --> 02:49:30,953
again with the No Agenda Podcast and donate today. Huh?

2714
02:49:31,180 --> 02:49:36,390
Okay. Wow. You've come up with new trickery to humiliate

2715
02:49:36,713 --> 02:49:42,165
me. Time for tip of the day! for you Just

2716
02:49:42,266 --> 02:49:48,398
the tip with JCB and sometimes Adam. Okay, I think

2717
02:49:48,459 --> 02:49:51,690
people have to, uh... The AI thing needs to be

2718
02:49:51,751 --> 02:49:56,042
tempered. So when the whole thing collapses, you're not going

2719
02:49:56,062 --> 02:50:00,282
to be taken. Oh, my God. What a shocker. So

2720
02:50:00,302 --> 02:50:02,438
you want there's a sub stack out there that is

2721
02:50:02,478 --> 02:50:08,184
the guy he is the guy who is the expert,

2722
02:50:08,204 --> 02:50:12,137
an AI expert who is also a naysayer. His name

2723
02:50:12,157 --> 02:50:16,537
is Gary. Ed Zitron. Sorry? Ed Zitron. No. Gary Marcus.

2724
02:50:16,838 --> 02:50:19,932
Gary Marcus. Professor back east. Gary Marcus. Everybody knows him.

2725
02:50:20,233 --> 02:50:26,793
Hmm. GaryMarcus.Substack.com And just read his material and you will

2726
02:50:26,853 --> 02:50:31,954
have a very... grounded sense of where This is going

2727
02:50:32,137 --> 02:50:35,752
why it's no good. why it's going to fail, how

2728
02:50:35,833 --> 02:50:38,219
it's going to fail, and all the rest of it.

2729
02:50:39,021 --> 02:50:41,147
He is the best at this. Do you think that

2730
02:50:41,207 --> 02:50:44,175
if AI was really good, it could avoid the bubble

2731
02:50:44,215 --> 02:50:52,812
popping itself? That's a good one. Gary Marcus, what is

2732
02:50:52,872 --> 02:50:56,664
his latest insight that you have read? Can you paraphrase?

2733
02:50:56,684 --> 02:50:59,954
The last one that I remember was he commented on

2734
02:50:59,994 --> 02:51:05,591
the market crash of Friday, which was really AI crash.

2735
02:51:05,979 --> 02:51:09,848
and he discusses why and how and it's actually very

2736
02:51:09,989 --> 02:51:13,884
he writes a little long but not in a boring

2737
02:51:13,965 --> 02:51:19,547
long way, just long. Okay. Is he a boomer? I

2738
02:51:19,607 --> 02:51:21,693
don't know. I never, I don't even know how old

2739
02:51:21,713 --> 02:51:24,280
he is. He's really good though. Well, I will investigate

2740
02:51:24,421 --> 02:51:26,225
and I will report back on this tip of the

2741
02:51:26,266 --> 02:51:29,514

2744
02:51:43,056 --> 02:51:45,205
quick, let me see if the robot found out what

2745
02:51:45,245 --> 02:51:53,466
this is called. Oh, no. No. No, I'll have to

2746
02:51:53,526 --> 02:51:58,071
find some other way. Robot fails. AI is no good.

2747
02:51:59,099 --> 02:52:02,350
