1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,429
This is like a suicide cult. Adam Curry. John C.

2
00:00:04,450 --> 00:00:07,918
Devorah. It's Thursday, July 9th, 2026. This is your award-winning

3
00:00:07,958 --> 00:00:14,231
Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1884. This is no agenda.

4
00:00:14,715 --> 00:00:17,722
Has anyone seen a stork? Not me, but we are

5
00:00:17,803 --> 00:00:21,964
broadcasting live from the Southern District of New York. Good

6
00:00:21,986 --> 00:00:26,352
morning everybody! Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're

7
00:00:26,391 --> 00:00:29,370
all wondering who would name a kid Graham, I'm John

8
00:00:29,431 --> 00:00:34,478
C. Dvorak. Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. What kid's

9
00:00:34,537 --> 00:00:39,072
name is Graham? Graham Platner. You're not over here, so

10
00:00:39,112 --> 00:00:42,112
you don't get to see this. 24/7 coverage. You said

11
00:00:42,232 --> 00:00:45,531
Graham, not Graham. You said Graham. His name is Graham.

12
00:00:46,207 --> 00:00:49,475
Not Graham. Like a Graham. It's pronounced Graham. No, it's

13
00:00:49,555 --> 00:00:55,128
Graham. Graham. Graham. Graham. Yes, if you had said Graham,

14
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:58,054
it would have been obvious. Graham. No, it's not Graham.

15
00:00:58,796 --> 00:01:01,631
Okay, you can say what you want. Okay, well, so

16
00:01:01,691 --> 00:01:05,353
yes, I'm aware of the new cycle. I'm aware of

17
00:01:05,433 --> 00:01:09,545
it. But that's not what I'm stuck with here. You're

18
00:01:09,564 --> 00:01:11,772
stuck there is what you're stuck with. I'm stuck here,

19
00:01:11,811 --> 00:01:14,381
but I'm stuck here with. Well, like I said, it's

20
00:01:14,421 --> 00:01:18,474
coming Tuesday. So the day when we're back. The day

21
00:01:18,513 --> 00:01:21,385
we come back. The day we're back. Yes. You never

22
00:01:21,447 --> 00:01:24,200
said it was coming Tuesday, did you? Yeah, I did.

23
00:01:24,221 --> 00:01:28,134
Oh, because you know I'm coming back Monday. Well, you're

24
00:01:28,155 --> 00:01:32,591
gonna miss the baby then. Yeah, no kidding. My daughter's...

25
00:01:32,611 --> 00:01:35,605
Just stay a couple extra days. We've already been here...

26
00:01:35,947 --> 00:01:39,914
By Monday, we'll have been here for two weeks. uh

27
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:44,436
we're running out of everything flies time flies and of

28
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:49,129
course now you know everyone here is like Oh. Oh,

29
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:57,893
you're from America? Stupid Trump. Try to rig the game

30
00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:02,123
with the red card. Ha! We showed you, didn't ya?

31
00:02:03,152 --> 00:02:08,975
Yeah, all day long. It's amazing. Well, I think that

32
00:02:09,197 --> 00:02:11,502
it was corrupted to begin with, and the reason that

33
00:02:11,542 --> 00:02:13,506
they did that, it had nothing to do with Trump.

34
00:02:14,108 --> 00:02:16,271
It was to make him look like he did something

35
00:02:16,331 --> 00:02:18,417
other than just make a call. Yeah, that's exactly what

36
00:02:18,437 --> 00:02:19,819
they did. But they had to put that player back.

37
00:02:19,799 --> 00:02:22,435
because these games are, as you and I know, rigged.

38
00:02:22,455 --> 00:02:25,333
These games are rigged. Rigged, yes. And they knew that

39
00:02:25,393 --> 00:02:29,233
if they left that player out... the striker that they

40
00:02:29,956 --> 00:02:33,595
red carded, then they have to listen to the whining

41
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:42,566
Americans. Yeah. Yeah. Ha ha! You guys screwed us. Someone's

42
00:02:43,249 --> 00:02:45,219
hearing a buzz. Hold on. I thought I heard it

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,372
too. Hold on. I'm hearing it too. Somebody's hearing a

44
00:02:48,412 --> 00:02:50,896
buzz? Yeah. There we go. I can move some wires

45
00:02:50,937 --> 00:02:52,739
around. No, no, it's not you. No, it's not you.

46
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:57,839
It's me. It's me. That's what she said. Here's the

47
00:02:58,141 --> 00:02:59,976
clip. And he gave him a red card. I didn't

48
00:02:59,996 --> 00:03:03,564
know what that meant. Then I started hearing that that

49
00:03:03,605 --> 00:03:07,010
means he can't play in the next game, at least

50
00:03:07,692 --> 00:03:21,032
in the next game. And they say you can't. play

51
00:03:21,072 --> 00:03:25,057
that's very unfair that's you know it's one thing to

52
00:03:25,077 --> 00:03:28,883
penalize somebody for the game but how do you penalize

53
00:03:28,923 --> 00:03:30,645
them for a game that hasn't been played yet it's

54
00:03:30,665 --> 00:03:34,210
very unfair you can't do that so yes i asked

55
00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:38,016
for a review oh a review i spoke to a

56
00:03:38,056 --> 00:03:41,141
man who's i i found the source of this whole

57
00:03:41,261 --> 00:03:44,209
Trump called him, made him change it. It was the

58
00:03:44,249 --> 00:03:49,262
New York Times with four sources, unnamed, anonymous sources, familiar

59
00:03:49,322 --> 00:03:52,109
with the phone call. Highly respected. And by the way,

60
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:56,853
whose level of respect has gone up. tenfold. And it

61
00:03:56,873 --> 00:04:00,019
was good before this started, but he really pushed it.

62
00:03:59,999 --> 00:04:02,346
in this country. I'm the one that got them to

63
00:04:02,407 --> 00:04:06,379
do it. It was not Biden. See, what people don't

64
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:09,409
understand, and it doesn't even, I don't even have to

65
00:04:09,469 --> 00:04:12,870
try and explain it here, commies. What people don't understand

66
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:16,644
is Trump's not talking about fair. He's talking about the

67
00:04:16,705 --> 00:04:19,796
excitement of the game. He's thinking of television. That's what

68
00:04:19,816 --> 00:04:22,148
he's thinking of. He's like, hey, we got to have

69
00:04:22,188 --> 00:04:24,295
the star players in there. You can't take the star

70
00:04:24,335 --> 00:04:26,161
players. It was great when they threw them out and

71
00:04:26,181 --> 00:04:27,847
they played with 10 guys for the rest of the

72
00:04:27,887 --> 00:04:31,399
game. That's great television. You can't have that guy not

73
00:04:31,419 --> 00:04:33,325
show up in the next game, even though it's the

74
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:36,875
rule. That's what it was about. People don't understand him.

75
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:41,772
We are the Trump whisperers. We understand our president. We're

76
00:04:41,792 --> 00:04:44,155
some of the last and the very few, I believe.

77
00:04:44,927 --> 00:04:51,608
Maybe. I'm not kidding. People are, they roll their eyes

78
00:04:51,628 --> 00:04:56,331
at me. They rolled their eyes. Yeah, man. That guy

79
00:04:56,371 --> 00:04:59,821
tried to cheat. I don't care what you say. It's

80
00:04:59,842 --> 00:05:04,484
useless. All right, so... If it's such a big news

81
00:05:04,564 --> 00:05:06,168
cycle that you had to start it out at the

82
00:05:06,208 --> 00:05:08,212
beginning of the show off with, do you have any

83
00:05:08,553 --> 00:05:11,540
Graham Platner clips that you want to share? I have

84
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:14,146
a, yeah, I do have a classic that I thought

85
00:05:14,286 --> 00:05:17,563
if anyone would appreciate, it'd be you. All right. Because

86
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:22,041
it's from the pivot. These are your buddies. Kara and

87
00:05:22,181 --> 00:05:24,046
Professor, can you turn your speakers down just a tad?

88
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:28,639
Kara and Professor Scott, let me guess, because I've seen

89
00:05:28,719 --> 00:05:31,226
some of these come through on the timeline, where Elizabeth

90
00:05:31,286 --> 00:05:35,733
Warren is saying, that's my guy. Well, yeah, they've been

91
00:05:37,119 --> 00:05:40,173
loading these things up. I don't really have a lot

92
00:05:40,213 --> 00:05:42,281
of Platinum Eclipse. I just have... I just thought it

93
00:05:42,301 --> 00:05:45,186
would be worthwhile to play this one because it's one

94
00:05:45,227 --> 00:05:51,679
of the most extreme examples of a very biased and

95
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,948
almost pathetic attitude about things. I personally, I'm going to

96
00:05:55,968 --> 00:05:58,192
just very quickly say I think voters don't care about

97
00:05:58,212 --> 00:06:00,437
this. I don't. And I thought his wife handled it

98
00:06:00,497 --> 00:06:03,823
well. I have others. I had an argument with Amanda

99
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:06,468
this weekend. She doesn't like the Nazi tattoo. She doesn't

100
00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:10,075
like this. Really? I feel as if... Amanda doesn't like

101
00:06:10,115 --> 00:06:13,362
the Nazi tattoo. Who does? If the husband and wife

102
00:06:13,682 --> 00:06:15,366
are working it out, it reminded me a little when

103
00:06:15,406 --> 00:06:18,592
Hillary Clinton did Should I Stand By My Man when

104
00:06:18,672 --> 00:06:21,858
he had those Jennifer Flowers things. Reminds me a little

105
00:06:21,878 --> 00:06:24,258
bit of that. Turned out to be a pretty good

106
00:06:24,299 --> 00:06:27,526
president. I don't get bothered by it as much. None

107
00:06:27,566 --> 00:06:31,716
of it. I think he's, as Amanda Littman correctly said,

108
00:06:31,736 --> 00:06:33,921
he's someone who had a drinking problem as a Marine,

109
00:06:33,981 --> 00:06:37,188
probably got that tattoo, has some mental health challenges, which

110
00:06:37,208 --> 00:06:40,897
he's trying to overcome, marriage problems, which his wife is

111
00:06:40,997 --> 00:06:44,945
insisting they're going to. counselors and overcoming. That list is

112
00:06:44,965 --> 00:06:47,370
your typical Democrat. It's perfect. I mean, let's just hear

113
00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:52,820
that list again. Nazi tattoo. It's got drinking problems, relationship

114
00:06:52,841 --> 00:06:56,247
problems. Drinking problems, a Marine, probably got that tattoo. Has

115
00:06:56,267 --> 00:06:59,594
some mental health challenges, which he's trying to overcome. Marriage

116
00:06:59,634 --> 00:07:03,562
problems. Mental challenges, which he's trying to overcome. Yeah, you

117
00:07:03,642 --> 00:07:08,331
have to stop the clip and let me explain something

118
00:07:08,371 --> 00:07:10,496
that I think is important. Oh, please. Which is that

119
00:07:10,736 --> 00:07:14,103
you're right. This is the Democrats' laundry list of what

120
00:07:14,243 --> 00:07:21,077
they think the working class is. Yes, drinking problem. They

121
00:07:21,117 --> 00:07:24,103
have no connection. She has no – and the professor

122
00:07:24,143 --> 00:07:27,089
has no connection with this – you know, these Democrats

123
00:07:27,169 --> 00:07:31,698
and their working class, which they haven't represented for –

124
00:07:32,459 --> 00:07:35,485
I don't know. Since we've been doing the show. Since

125
00:07:35,546 --> 00:07:38,952
Kennedy. Since we've been doing the show. Yeah, definitely since

126
00:07:38,992 --> 00:07:42,099
we've been doing this show. They're so dissociated from the

127
00:07:42,179 --> 00:07:46,948
work. class that their imaginary working class person is what

128
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:50,616
she's describing yes and an oyster farmer this thing from

129
00:07:50,656 --> 00:07:53,882
the truth there is an oyster farmer with a drinking

130
00:07:53,962 --> 00:07:57,409
problem a Nazi tattoo mental health issues which he's working

131
00:07:57,510 --> 00:08:00,896
on and relationship issues yes that's your voter but of

132
00:08:00,977 --> 00:08:03,882
that turned out to be a pretty good president. I

133
00:08:03,922 --> 00:08:06,588
don't get bothered by it as much. None of it.

134
00:08:06,948 --> 00:08:11,076
I think he's, as Amanda Littman correctly said, he's someone

135
00:08:11,117 --> 00:08:13,241
who had a drinking problem as a Marine, probably got

136
00:08:13,261 --> 00:08:16,367
that tattoo, has some mental health challenges, which he's trying

137
00:08:16,387 --> 00:08:20,435
to overcome, marriage problems, which his wife is insisting they're

138
00:08:20,475 --> 00:08:23,840
going to counselors and overcoming. Every election is a choice,

139
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,377
not a marriage proposal. We're not hiring a priest. We're

140
00:08:30,418 --> 00:08:32,802
hiring a senator. Do you want to make sure that

141
00:08:32,862 --> 00:08:35,227
women's rights aren't continuing to be rolled back? Do you

142
00:08:35,247 --> 00:08:38,613
want a more responsible economic policy? But we're going to

143
00:08:38,813 --> 00:08:42,790
talk about fucking tattoos and sexting? You mean like you

144
00:08:42,830 --> 00:08:47,465
did about Pete's Hexeth? Okay. I mean, the obsession with

145
00:08:47,565 --> 00:08:51,054
personal purity has become a luxury belief. And folks, if

146
00:08:51,094 --> 00:08:54,281
your house is on fire, you don't ask whether the

147
00:08:54,682 --> 00:08:58,972
firefighter has problematic DMs. Are we going to continue to

148
00:08:59,032 --> 00:09:00,756
have one strike and you're out? I'm a Jew. I

149
00:09:00,776 --> 00:09:04,781

if he gets drunk one night and gets stupid fucking

00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,126
tattoo. The fact that he's trying to protect our liberties

156
00:09:25,167 --> 00:09:26,910
the next day and might be blown up by an

157
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:33,403
IED. He gets a hall pass. You're right. It's Tottenkopf.

158
00:09:33,583 --> 00:09:36,970
Tottenkopf. It's Tottenkopf. It's struggle. It's Kopf. It's head. It's

159
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:41,742
Kopf. Tottenkopf. Yeah. It's a head. Kopf. Kopf. We all

160
00:09:41,762 --> 00:09:44,727
know Kumpf. Not Kumpf. Kumpf. He's my Kumpf. I don't

161
00:09:44,747 --> 00:09:48,163
know what he's thinking. It's that way. That's great. That's

162
00:09:48,203 --> 00:09:51,792
great. But now he resigned. He withdrew. He's out. Yeah,

163
00:09:51,812 --> 00:09:54,017
he did. But one more thing about what Scott said.

164
00:09:54,037 --> 00:09:56,944
He says, are we going to continue to have women's

165
00:09:57,064 --> 00:09:59,997
rights rolled back? What? What? What?

166
00:10:00,019 --> 00:10:03,742
talking about? I don't know. I don't know. You've seen

167
00:10:03,802 --> 00:10:06,044
these, if you go to, I don't do this that

168
00:10:06,144 --> 00:10:09,386
much, but if you go to TikTok or Insta or

169
00:10:09,466 --> 00:10:11,387
one of these places that are the reels, all these

170
00:10:11,447 --> 00:10:15,090
things, and there'll be men on the street stuff where

171
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:18,052
someone says, so what do you want to see about

172
00:10:18,352 --> 00:10:21,974
somebody being interviewed at some protest? And then they say,

173
00:10:23,315 --> 00:10:25,357
I don't want to see women's rights rolled back. And

174
00:10:25,377 --> 00:10:29,580
then the interviewer will say, which women's rights are you

175
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:31,741
talking about? Of course, and then they freeze. And there's

176
00:10:31,741 --> 00:10:34,023
a long blank stare, and I don't know. And then

177
00:10:34,083 --> 00:10:37,205
they say, I'm not participating in this. I'm not going

178
00:10:37,265 --> 00:10:40,907
to be. They walk. I'm not going to. Yeah. Well,

179
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,510
of course, then we have the actual candidates for the

180
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:47,672
Democrat Party. This thing has been circling around, a little

181
00:10:47,752 --> 00:10:53,176
mini, mini cut. of some of these DSA, Democrat Socialists

182
00:10:53,216 --> 00:10:55,497
of America. And it's exactly what we talked about on

183
00:10:55,557 --> 00:10:58,639
the last show. This is exactly what they're doing. If

184
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:03,323
they get elected, and these were not the candidates in

185
00:11:03,383 --> 00:11:07,626
the primary, not the candidates that Ro Khanna, what's his

186
00:11:07,686 --> 00:11:10,928
name? Ro Khanna. Don't we just call him Ro Khanna?

187
00:11:11,068 --> 00:11:13,149
Isn't that his name now? He's a Ro Khanna. Ro

188
00:11:13,209 --> 00:11:16,532
Khanna. The Ro Khanna. Ro Khanna, this is not the

189
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:20,094
people he endorsed, but this is the people who, supposedly

190
00:11:20,474 --> 00:11:23,316
selected. And you know we have a unique responsibility to

191
00:11:23,476 --> 00:11:25,758
act from the from the heart of empire the belly

192
00:11:25,798 --> 00:11:27,619
of the beast. The most important thing that we can

193
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,142
do is take that empire down from within. Our role

194
00:11:31,262 --> 00:11:35,765
ultimately is to to facilitate our own empire's failure in

195
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:39,407
ways that we can ultimately to overthrow our own empire.

196
00:11:39,727 --> 00:11:42,629
Imperialism is U.S. imperialism is not a thing that can

197
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:47,493
be reformed away it has to be overthrown through revolutionary

198
00:11:47,553 --> 00:11:50,795
struggle. And to build a movement that can use the

199
00:11:50,955 --> 00:11:54,518
leverage of workers to hit the kill switch on American

200
00:11:54,598 --> 00:12:00,682
imperialism here within the American Empire. Yes, from within the

201
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:04,725
kill switch in the American empire. Yeah, these people are

202
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:08,587
very pretentious, but did you notice how gender fluid they

203
00:12:08,707 --> 00:12:12,250
are? Oh, yeah. Yeah, certainly. I couldn't tell who was

204
00:12:12,350 --> 00:12:17,693
what there. It was just non-binary to an extreme. Well,

205
00:12:18,734 --> 00:12:22,677
so just looking at all these different factions, I caught

206
00:12:22,677 --> 00:12:26,759
a report on CNN. And it was about the Patriot

207
00:12:26,860 --> 00:12:32,884
Front on July 4th, who marched on the mall, who

208
00:12:32,984 --> 00:12:36,146
took the metro, which is the subway, to the mall.

209
00:12:38,327 --> 00:12:41,269
You know... We've looked at these guys and we're like,

210
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:44,191
these got to be feds. This has got to be

211
00:12:44,271 --> 00:12:46,993
some kind of psyop going on. But then I'm thinking,

212
00:12:47,013 --> 00:12:50,636
hold on a second. Does this mean that Kash Patel's

213
00:12:50,856 --> 00:12:57,420
FBI or Tulsi Gabbard or Bill Pulte's intelligence operations are

214
00:12:57,460 --> 00:13:02,084
still running these guys? And it's a bit polarizing to

215
00:13:02,144 --> 00:13:04,946
me. But the thing that really caught my eye is

216
00:13:05,006 --> 00:13:09,369
as I'm listening to the opening of this report. The

217
00:13:09,469 --> 00:13:15,052
whole thing is completely framing something that is observably not

218
00:13:15,192 --> 00:13:18,515
true. This weekend, in the midst of the country's 250th

219
00:13:18,655 --> 00:13:24,319
birthday festivities, a stark and disturbing display emerged from our

220
00:13:24,359 --> 00:13:28,642
nation's capital. Stark and disturbing display. On Saturday, when mass

221
00:13:28,762 --> 00:13:33,605
members of the white supremacist group, the Patriot Front, marched

222
00:13:33,725 --> 00:13:38,929
through Washington, D.C., carrying Confederate flags and... Okay, so... I

223
00:13:39,029 --> 00:13:42,771
stopped here because carrying Confederate flags, I'm literally looking at

224
00:13:42,791 --> 00:13:46,954
the video she's showing, and there's no Confederate flag. There's

225
00:13:47,214 --> 00:13:52,858
stars and stripes, 50 stars, 13 stripes. There's about 20%

226
00:13:52,878 --> 00:13:57,762
are what I'd call the colonial flag with the 13

227
00:13:58,022 --> 00:14:00,383
stars in a circle with a picture of George. Right,

228
00:14:00,503 --> 00:14:02,445
right, which is a classic. Yeah, with a picture of

229
00:14:02,465 --> 00:14:07,628
George Washington in the circle. Not a single Confederate flag.

230
00:14:08,809 --> 00:14:13,772
That's a Confederate flag. That's how deteriorated the media has

231
00:14:13,832 --> 00:14:17,095
become. Well, possibly. But the first thing that she says

232
00:14:17,175 --> 00:14:21,758
here is the white supremacist group. And, you know, and

233
00:14:21,838 --> 00:14:25,701
so, of course, you connect white supremacy, white supremacist groups

234
00:14:26,281 --> 00:14:29,983
to patriots because they're called the Patriot Front. So that

235
00:14:30,104 --> 00:14:33,526
by itself, it's a psyop, whether it's from them or

236
00:14:33,766 --> 00:14:35,908
who knows what it is. But I'm like, I got

237
00:14:36,028 --> 00:14:37,929
to look at these guys. What is going on with

238
00:14:37,989 --> 00:14:40,291
this group? So they have a website. I'm glad you

239
00:14:40,351 --> 00:14:42,192
did this because I thought the whole thing was a

240
00:14:42,292 --> 00:14:49,777
fake. Well, so the website, patriot.us. They have an about

241
00:14:49,857 --> 00:14:54,120
page. They've got an action page. They've got a manifesto

242
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:57,622
page. Now, this I find troubling. Like, why don't you

243
00:14:57,642 --> 00:15:00,184
just say, here's our mission? But no, they say manifesto.

244
00:15:00,264 --> 00:15:05,468
It's very long. And there's no white supremacy language in

245
00:15:05,568 --> 00:15:10,231
there per se. They hate government. They feel all politicians

246
00:15:10,231 --> 00:15:17,796
have sold out. The military-industrial complex. They hate globalism. to

247
00:15:17,836 --> 00:15:22,799
go back to what America was. They don't like, they

248
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:25,561
want the borders closed. They don't want immigrants coming in

249
00:15:25,661 --> 00:15:28,864
from Africa. They don't talk about black people. Now, I

250
00:15:28,924 --> 00:15:32,006
don't see any black faces in this patriot front because

251
00:15:32,006 --> 00:15:33,767
they have masks on. It makes it a little harder.

252
00:15:33,827 --> 00:15:35,949
And it's a little more intimidating because they've got the

253
00:15:35,989 --> 00:15:38,891
khakis and, you know, they have kind of these uniforms

254
00:15:38,991 --> 00:15:42,773
on. But they don't really look like neo-Nazis or KKK.

255
00:15:43,434 --> 00:15:45,195
And then you look at their action. And, you know,

256
00:15:45,255 --> 00:15:48,337
their spokes guy, he talks without a mask. His name

257
00:15:48,417 --> 00:15:51,359
is known. He's quite eloquent at speaking. And then they

258
00:15:51,439 --> 00:15:55,922
go, you know, life, liberty, victory. Okay. Then you look

259
00:15:55,962 --> 00:15:58,944
at their action page, and they're, you know, doing food

260
00:15:59,024 --> 00:16:04,808
drives, feeding homeless people, building houses. So, you know, it's

261
00:16:05,028 --> 00:16:10,032
me. At least one of our No Agenda producers has

262
00:16:10,132 --> 00:16:13,654
to be in this group. There's no way that if

263
00:16:13,834 --> 00:16:16,896
really what is portrayed on this website, that we don't

264
00:16:16,916 --> 00:16:20,099
have at least one of them listening to the show.

265
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:22,220
This is kind of my test. What if the whole

266
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,062
thing is just a front for nothing? Well, this is

267
00:16:25,142 --> 00:16:28,244
my test. If we don't have a single producer... Oh,

268
00:16:28,284 --> 00:16:30,906
that's a good point. We have a million listeners and

269
00:16:30,966 --> 00:16:35,149
producers. Somebody's been to the meeting. Did we have a

270
00:16:35,209 --> 00:16:40,352
population of such... That is such, yes, you're absolutely correct.

271
00:16:40,392 --> 00:16:43,835
Unless there's somebody in there that's connected to the show.

272
00:16:46,276 --> 00:16:49,318
It's a fake. It's a phony. It's a phony. Yeah,

273
00:16:49,459 --> 00:16:51,700
just a bunch of photos. I pulled a few more

274
00:16:51,780 --> 00:16:54,602
clips. That's a good point. Well, it was really bothering

275
00:16:54,642 --> 00:16:57,124
me because I look at these guys like, I know

276
00:16:57,244 --> 00:16:59,946
guys like this. They go to my church. They help

277
00:17:00,266 --> 00:17:04,389
out. They love their country. They love their flag. They

278
00:17:04,429 --> 00:17:07,971
love their family. I don't think they're racist. You know,

279
00:17:08,992 --> 00:17:12,334
they've never shown any racial tendencies. But so the PSYOP

280
00:17:12,915 --> 00:17:15,176
certainly is working on CNN. Just a couple of clips

281
00:17:15,256 --> 00:17:18,098
because there's some interesting language that they use here. So

282
00:17:18,198 --> 00:17:21,761
whether it's phony or I mean, it certainly doesn't seem

283
00:17:21,861 --> 00:17:24,823
like the right. Something Trump would want is connecting white

284
00:17:24,903 --> 00:17:40,393
supremacy to patriots and patriotism. quote, reclaim America. Oh no!

285
00:17:41,454 --> 00:17:46,317
One photographer captured this stunning, now viral photo of a

286
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:50,780
young black woman. sitting on a metro car while the

287
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:55,023
masked men surround her. Now, this language is beautiful because

288
00:17:55,304 --> 00:17:57,705
these guys are on the metro. They're all taking the

289
00:17:57,745 --> 00:18:00,087
metro. No, the whole car is filled with them. They're

290
00:18:00,087 --> 00:18:03,769
not surrounding her. The picture doesn't even show her being

291
00:18:03,929 --> 00:18:06,611
surrounded. They're not looking at her. She has a great

292
00:18:06,651 --> 00:18:09,273
expression. Nobody cares about her. She has a great expression

293
00:18:09,333 --> 00:18:13,296
on her face. So then they bring in this dude

294
00:18:13,836 --> 00:18:16,178
who was also a witness, who was also on the

295
00:18:16,218 --> 00:18:19,720
train. And this is where things got funny. behave on

296
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,182
the train and what sort of sense did you get

297
00:18:22,202 --> 00:18:25,164
from them on the car? They were surprisingly very civil

298
00:18:25,464 --> 00:18:28,606
and very organized. They were just chatting among themselves like

299
00:18:29,006 --> 00:18:32,969
any other people who were sitting or traveling using the

300
00:18:33,009 --> 00:18:35,311
metro. I, you know, just from what I could hear,

301
00:18:36,011 --> 00:18:38,173
many of them didn't even know each other. I could

302
00:18:38,193 --> 00:18:40,534
hear them introducing themselves to one another with their full

303
00:18:40,594 --> 00:18:43,576
names and asking where they're from and, you know, how

304
00:18:43,616 --> 00:18:46,638
they're doing. Well, that doesn't sound very scary. Come on,

305
00:18:46,879 --> 00:18:48,680
we gotta step this up a little bit because we're

306
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:52,362
you afraid? Weren't you scary? Wait. How did this picture

307
00:18:52,402 --> 00:18:54,664
get taken of you? And you ended up in some

308
00:18:54,864 --> 00:19:00,168
photographs taken by a Getty Images photographer. A Getty Images

309
00:19:00,168 --> 00:19:02,689
photographer happens to be on the train. It's amazing. What

310
00:19:02,709 --> 00:19:04,030
did it say to you that there was a photographer

311
00:19:04,050 --> 00:19:06,932
there? That's when it alarmed me. This is something, you

312
00:19:06,972 --> 00:19:09,874
know. But the photographer also gave me some comfort knowing

313
00:19:09,874 --> 00:19:12,176
that somebody was there with a camera just in case

314
00:19:12,196 --> 00:19:14,577
something happens. Because I was realizing if anything happens, I

315
00:19:14,638 --> 00:19:16,479
won't be able to identify any of them because they're

316
00:19:16,479 --> 00:19:19,521
all dressed the same. So it made me realize and

317
00:19:19,521 --> 00:19:22,063
start paying attention. What are they wearing? on their hats,

318
00:19:22,363 --> 00:19:25,705
what's on their shirts, just to give me an educated

319
00:19:25,805 --> 00:19:27,526
idea who they were. And I was texting some friends,

320
00:19:27,546 --> 00:19:30,869
you know, this is happening. I just want you to

321
00:19:30,889 --> 00:19:33,150
be aware that I'm in the middle of a metro

322
00:19:33,210 --> 00:19:36,052
by myself. So if anything happens, you know. No, you

323
00:19:36,152 --> 00:19:37,793
weren't. You were with the black girl. What are you

324
00:19:37,793 --> 00:19:40,715
talking about? You weren't by yourself. I'm in the middle

325
00:19:40,735 --> 00:19:43,677
of a metro by myself. So if anything happens, you

326
00:19:43,717 --> 00:19:46,259
know what's happening. Do you have any thought as you're

327
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:47,900
on the train as to who they might be? Like

328
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:49,802
what's, you know, I know you said you didn't know

329
00:19:49,882 --> 00:19:52,443
who they were, but what were you speculating when you

330
00:19:52,503 --> 00:19:55,445
see a bunch of white guys with masks and hats.

331
00:19:55,465 --> 00:19:59,108
Clearly they needed to cover their faces for a reason,

332
00:19:59,168 --> 00:19:59,608
right?

333
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,671
My mind immediately went to that they were white supremacists.

334
00:20:02,691 --> 00:20:04,839
So, and, you know, I work for the U.S. Capitol

335
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,028
Historical Society. Oh, there we go. So my first thing

336
00:20:07,108 --> 00:20:10,617
is... I need to remember this and try to document

337
00:20:10,657 --> 00:20:13,726
of what's happening. I'm not comparing myself clearly to real

338
00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:17,193
American heroes like Rosa Parks and folks who sat in

339
00:20:17,315 --> 00:20:20,682
at diners in the 50s and 60s. I knew this

340
00:20:20,702 --> 00:20:23,268
was a moment that I have to kind of be

341
00:20:23,327 --> 00:20:27,115
present. This was a moment. This is a psyop of

342
00:20:27,154 --> 00:20:31,182
epic proportions. I just want to know who and why

343
00:20:31,223 --> 00:20:34,410
and what's behind it. That's all I want to know.

344
00:20:34,810 --> 00:20:37,375
Again, if we don't have a single person in our

345
00:20:37,496 --> 00:20:40,040
audience who has at least been to a meeting. then

346
00:20:40,103 --> 00:20:43,971
this is fake. and it's fake from the left. There's

347
00:20:44,011 --> 00:20:50,127
just no two ways about it. Yeah, fake from the

348
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:53,276
left. Yeah, this could be a Soros thing or a

349
00:20:53,296 --> 00:20:57,311
Southern Poverty Law Center thing. The thing that is bothersome

350
00:20:57,372 --> 00:21:00,723
is the mask. Why the masks? Yeah, there's no reason

351
00:21:00,763 --> 00:21:02,228
for the mask. There's no reason for that. They don't

352
00:21:02,248 --> 00:21:04,955
do that. It's the other side that's always mask-oriented with

353
00:21:04,996 --> 00:21:09,509
the Palestinian scarf across their face. That's the tell right

354
00:21:09,548 --> 00:21:12,657
there. Oh, you're wearing a mask. There you go. There

355
00:21:12,698 --> 00:21:16,300
you go. I was just like, nah, I don't know

356
00:21:16,340 --> 00:21:19,920
about this. The whole thing just kind of bothered me.

357
00:21:20,152 --> 00:21:22,215
So I wanted to get that out. And please, if

358
00:21:22,236 --> 00:21:24,201
you've been to a meeting, let us know. And if

359
00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:27,166
nobody has been to me, there's nobody. I mean, this

360
00:21:27,227 --> 00:21:29,972
might maybe Aaron or over at Knowage in the social.

361
00:21:30,073 --> 00:21:32,578
He might be the kind of guy, but they're not

362
00:21:32,659 --> 00:21:36,226
even that anti-Jew, you know, at least not that I

363
00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:40,941
can tell. Not in their manifest. So, which is another

364
00:21:41,001 --> 00:21:43,076
thing. If you and I were going to do a

365
00:21:43,096 --> 00:21:45,766
group. Yes, absolutely. You nailed it. By the way, that's

366
00:21:45,806 --> 00:21:49,638
a great observation. Yeah, we wouldn't. You don't use manifesto.

367
00:21:49,659 --> 00:21:53,817
No, we're not going to do that. Ever. Ever. No,

368
00:21:53,837 --> 00:21:58,471
it's mission statement or what, you know, EULA. I mean,

369
00:21:58,531 --> 00:22:07,403
anything. EULA. So, no. But I think we all were...

370
00:22:07,887 --> 00:22:11,606
considering them to be feds of some sort. And now

371
00:22:11,666 --> 00:22:14,041
I'm just not so sure. Now it seems to be

372
00:22:14,102 --> 00:22:17,881
from some other organization. They look cool though. And that's

373
00:22:17,922 --> 00:22:21,461
not to say that the black girl wasn't afraid. cool

374
00:22:21,481 --> 00:22:23,565
black girl she might have been afraid like oh what

375
00:22:23,626 --> 00:22:25,930
is this what's going on but you know i seem

376
00:22:25,950 --> 00:22:29,418
pretty nonchalant if you ask me but a getty images

377
00:22:29,478 --> 00:22:32,865
photographer happens to be there well that's yeah that's because

378
00:22:32,905 --> 00:22:36,693
somewhat misleading because anybody can be images yeah it's true

379
00:22:37,093 --> 00:22:39,458
yeah it's once you sign up with them it's basically

380
00:22:39,518 --> 00:22:42,336
you You take a lot of photos. It's like paparazzi.

381
00:22:42,737 --> 00:22:45,101
You take a lot of photos, but you've done a

382
00:22:45,181 --> 00:22:47,165
contract deal with them, so if you have any photos

383
00:22:47,205 --> 00:22:50,371
that are of national interest, you have to sell it

384
00:22:50,391 --> 00:22:54,479
to them as opposed to the competition. Yeah. Which is

385
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Corbis, whoever it is. No big deal. Corvus. That day,

386
00:22:58,261 --> 00:23:03,695
I think that's exaggerated. Corbus? There's other groups. Yeah, it's

387
00:23:03,736 --> 00:23:08,815
that group that Microsoft ran. created i can't remember their

388
00:23:08,876 --> 00:23:11,820
name it's like corbus or something stupid was that part

389
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,306
of their uh Encyclopedia. What was their encyclopedia? Their CD-ROM

390
00:23:15,346 --> 00:23:21,743
encyclopedia. Yeah, the... Encarta? Encarta? And Cardi. It was a

391
00:23:21,763 --> 00:23:25,210
good idea at the time. Yeah, at the time. When

392
00:23:25,230 --> 00:23:28,657
there was no internet and everything was on CD-ROM. Yes.

393
00:23:29,058 --> 00:23:33,407
CD Interactive. CDI. Yeah, baby. Back in the day. CDI

394
00:23:33,467 --> 00:23:36,713
went nowhere. Back in the day. So just to wrap

395
00:23:36,733 --> 00:23:39,158
it up. Yeah, I agree. The only people who wear

396
00:23:39,218 --> 00:23:45,310
masks... or Antifa. The Palestinian protesters, it's all crazy from

397
00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:49,575
left people. And the Southern Poverty Law Center has deemed

398
00:23:49,615 --> 00:23:53,458
them a white supremacist hate group. That right there tells

399
00:23:53,499 --> 00:24:00,310
you something. Yeah. Anyway, let's get guys. Let's get to

400
00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:02,797
the top of the news with what's really happening. Tonight,

401
00:24:02,917 --> 00:24:05,525
as the U.S. launches a new attack on Iran, the

402
00:24:05,665 --> 00:24:10,018
second in 24 hours, President Trump now declaring the ceasefire

403
00:24:10,038 --> 00:24:12,950
over. I think it's over. I don't want to deal

404
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:15,642
with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is?

405
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:18,555
There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. The new U.S.

406
00:24:18,575 --> 00:24:22,328
shrinks hitting Iran's... coastal radar sites and anti-ship missile locations.

407
00:24:24,595 --> 00:24:27,705
A larger attack than last night when 80 targets were

408
00:24:27,745 --> 00:24:32,110
hit. in response to Iran firing on three cargo ships

409
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:36,087
near the Strait of Hormuz. The big question: What comes

410
00:24:36,227 --> 00:24:41,023
next? Overnight, Iran launching missiles at U.S. bases Those missiles

411
00:24:41,043 --> 00:24:44,830
intercepted. The Pentagon releasing video of more than 20 Navy

412
00:24:44,890 --> 00:24:48,458
warships patrolling waters near the Middle East. President Trump today

413
00:24:48,498 --> 00:24:52,045
sending mixed signals. First saying he would let peace talks

414
00:24:52,105 --> 00:24:55,632
continue, then a few hours later saying this. I'm not

415
00:24:55,652 --> 00:24:57,235
sure I want to make a deal with him. We

416
00:24:57,275 --> 00:24:58,798
can play games, but I'm not sure I want to

417
00:24:58,818 --> 00:25:00,031
make a deal with him. Make a deal, I just

418
00:25:00,052 --> 00:25:03,447
finished the job. And tonight, the calm has been shattered

419
00:25:03,507 --> 00:25:06,914
in the oil market. Gas prices for Americans set to

420
00:25:06,975 --> 00:25:09,881
go up. The president asks, are we about to see

421
00:25:09,981 --> 00:25:12,786
full-blown war again? I don't think it's going to start

422
00:25:12,827 --> 00:25:16,735
again. I think it's going to go very quickly. No,

423
00:25:16,775 --> 00:25:19,487
hold on a second. Did you see this? structure of

424
00:25:19,507 --> 00:25:23,825
the way they presented that? Explain. It's structured as though

425
00:25:23,866 --> 00:25:25,741
they were going to see full-blown war and then they

426
00:25:25,801 --> 00:25:28,836
cut to him saying, no, I don't think so. Yeah.

427
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,432
Okay. And you're surprised by this? This is ABC. No,

428
00:25:32,492 --> 00:25:34,159
this is what we do on this show, if you

429
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:38,176
haven't noticed. We point this out. Shattered in the oil

430
00:25:38,237 --> 00:25:42,096
markets. Gas prices for Americans set to go up. The

431
00:25:42,136 --> 00:25:45,440
president asks, are we about to see full-blown war again?

432
00:25:45,461 --> 00:25:47,383
I don't think it's going to start again. I think

433
00:25:47,483 --> 00:25:51,029
it's going to go very quickly. They hit a couple

434
00:25:51,049 --> 00:25:53,632
of ships, and so we hit them much harder. When

435
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:59,762
they hit, we hit. with Iran right now and the

436
00:25:59,802 --> 00:26:11,425
surging oil prices already. There are also questions about this

437
00:26:11,526 --> 00:26:14,071
new Air Force One, that gift from Qatar, and why

438
00:26:14,091 --> 00:26:19,020
it left Turkey tonight without the president. David, the president

439
00:26:19,061 --> 00:26:21,826
has been touting this new plane, so it was surprising

440
00:26:21,886 --> 00:26:25,052
when that Qatari jet left without him and headed toward

441
00:26:25,113 --> 00:26:27,678
the UK. The president said it was to give troops

442
00:26:27,718 --> 00:26:30,283
stationed there an opportunity to view the plane, but tonight

443
00:26:30,704 --> 00:26:34,030
it is raising new questions about whether security concerns played

444
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:37,096
a factor. The president later departed Turkey on an older

445
00:26:37,157 --> 00:26:40,379
model of Air Force One. Yeah, so before we move

446
00:26:40,479 --> 00:26:43,085
on, I just got to play this clip because he

447
00:26:43,125 --> 00:26:45,350
did play it down. Like, oh, no, you know, the

448
00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:47,515
plane had to go over there and we had to

449
00:26:47,615 --> 00:26:49,459
do something else and the troops had to look at

450
00:26:49,479 --> 00:26:52,225
the new plane. But this was the killer for me.

451
00:26:52,405 --> 00:26:56,635
In one day, all of their anti-aircraft things are gone.

452
00:26:56,655 --> 00:26:58,619
That doesn't mean they're not going to get a plane.

453
00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:03,378
But all of it's gone. Everything's gone. The leaders are

454
00:27:03,398 --> 00:27:06,536
gone. They had leaders, they're gone. And they had another

455
00:27:06,576 --> 00:27:08,690
set of leaders, they're gone. Now they have another set

456
00:27:08,730 --> 00:27:12,660
of leaders, they may be gone. Who knows? And you

457
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:15,114
know what? I may be gone too because I'm their

458
00:27:15,154 --> 00:27:18,152
number one target. It's out all over the place. I'm

459
00:27:18,192 --> 00:27:20,587
their number one because they're... That's the way they act

460
00:27:20,648 --> 00:27:22,842
and that's the way they've done it for 47 years.

461
00:27:23,144 --> 00:27:27,252
No, I'm number one on the kill list for... Iran.

462
00:27:27,292 --> 00:27:29,758
They're lovely people. I'm number one. So I don't know.

463
00:27:29,798 --> 00:27:32,204
I can't tell you that. But I don't really care

464
00:27:32,244 --> 00:27:34,329
because I'm doing my job and I'm doing it, I

465
00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:37,195
hope, better than anybody's ever done it because we have

466
00:27:37,236 --> 00:27:41,468
a country that's hot. and really, really successful. But I

467
00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:43,993
mention it only because it's on the list. I mean,

468
00:27:44,013 --> 00:27:46,337
it came out, there was another list came out yesterday,

469
00:27:46,437 --> 00:27:49,924
and I'm number one on, I like being number one

470
00:27:49,964 --> 00:27:52,929
on TikTok better, but I'm number one on the list

471
00:27:54,392 --> 00:27:57,878
for killing. Now, unfortunately, I have to say, every single

472
00:27:57,958 --> 00:28:01,060
time... I have known a politician or heard a politician

473
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,029
say, yeah, they're going to, you know, they want to

474
00:28:03,069 --> 00:28:08,227
kill me. It has happened. I'll never forget Pim Fortuyn

475
00:28:08,288 --> 00:28:11,450
saying, if something happens to me, those guys did it.

476
00:28:11,933 --> 00:28:14,857
And then he got killed. Yeah, well let's hope that

477
00:28:14,898 --> 00:28:16,327
doesn't happen. No, that would suck. But you should be

478
00:28:16,348 --> 00:28:19,435
cautious enough to send off this. The one jet, let

479
00:28:19,475 --> 00:28:22,142
that one get blowed up. Yeah, really. It's like, you

480
00:28:22,282 --> 00:28:24,990
know, a little switcheroo on the jet. So we had

481
00:28:25,030 --> 00:28:27,075
dinner with... We don't even know he was on the

482
00:28:27,296 --> 00:28:28,840
other Air Force. He could have been on Air Force

483
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:30,424
Two for all we know. It didn't look like it.

484
00:28:30,465 --> 00:28:32,310
I'll be the first, because he came out for a

485
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:36,783
gaggle. And it was not the old Air Force One

486
00:28:37,106 --> 00:28:40,657
that he typically travels on. Because I could tell by

487
00:28:40,718 --> 00:28:44,609
the... They didn't have the screens in the side panel

488
00:28:44,669 --> 00:28:49,138
like it usually does. So it was not his typical

489
00:28:49,238 --> 00:28:51,583
Air Force one. Yeah, well, if you're going to the

490
00:28:51,643 --> 00:28:56,052
Middle East and you're Trump. Yeah. You're not going to

491
00:28:56,072 --> 00:28:58,777
be flying around like, hey, here I am. Fire me.

492
00:28:58,797 --> 00:29:03,004
Take a shot. - Yeah. So we had dinner with

493
00:29:03,064 --> 00:29:05,214
Lex. I have a couple of them. I want to

494
00:29:05,275 --> 00:29:07,063
give you a little update. We had a dinner with

495
00:29:07,123 --> 00:29:11,830
Lex and Fariba. Oh, okay. His Iranian wife. he told

496
00:29:12,011 --> 00:29:14,506
man he told the story about them getting married it

497
00:29:14,587 --> 00:29:18,477
cracks me up every single time because they wanted to

498
00:29:18,843 --> 00:29:22,173
stay in the same hotel. This is like 16 years

499
00:29:22,234 --> 00:29:25,014
ago. And so in order to do that, you have

500
00:29:25,035 --> 00:29:30,385
to be married by an imam. So he's a Muslim.

501
00:29:30,405 --> 00:29:32,879
He had to become a Muslim first. Then he got

502
00:29:32,939 --> 00:29:34,990
like a stamp and he's got a passport and he's

503
00:29:35,030 --> 00:29:38,061
a Muslim. Anyway. So, and I said, you better not

504
00:29:38,101 --> 00:29:40,685
leave that. You better stay a muscle. because that's not

505
00:29:40,705 --> 00:29:43,607
a good idea. So she's back talking to her family.

506
00:29:43,687 --> 00:29:48,349
The Internet's open. The lines are open. Um, Everybody is

507
00:29:48,449 --> 00:29:51,970
back to business, although back to business means her family

508
00:29:52,030 --> 00:29:56,664
is selling ground coffee. uh this this there's not a

509
00:29:56,724 --> 00:30:00,009
lot of commerce per se But the general

510
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,809
The feeling is that Trump is working with the Iranians

511
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:07,976
together, and together they're going to get rid of the

512
00:30:08,135 --> 00:30:11,162
IRGC, or at least they're going to try to, which

513
00:30:11,282 --> 00:30:14,449
the Iranians feel is rather complicated because they have such

514
00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:18,897
deep connections inside the country. Everyone's on the take from

515
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:22,486
those guys. So they feel that there's maybe too many

516
00:30:22,586 --> 00:30:25,019
of them. But that's who's popping stuff off. It's the

517
00:30:25,138 --> 00:30:30,462
IRGC. It's not the people that... Yeah, and it's dissociated.

518
00:30:30,624 --> 00:30:33,594
They're completely dissociated. So some rogue, anybody can take a

519
00:30:33,673 --> 00:30:35,822
pot shot and, hey, I'm going to do it. Yeah,

520
00:30:35,842 --> 00:30:40,775
exactly. There's no coordination at all. No. So they're hopeful

521
00:30:40,835 --> 00:30:44,486
and they actually have more trust in Trump than I

522
00:30:44,526 --> 00:30:46,833
would have expected. I think that he's working with them

523
00:30:46,893 --> 00:30:52,420
with the third level. And... you know they're like why

524
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,380
is pop so the what's his name reza pavli the

525
00:30:56,721 --> 00:31:04,355
the crown prince He's in Holland right now. How weird

526
00:31:04,416 --> 00:31:07,807
is that? You should go try to track him down.

527
00:31:08,430 --> 00:31:10,275
No, I don't think so. I'm not going to do

528
00:31:10,295 --> 00:31:13,063
that. Let's listen to these clips from the NPR and

529
00:31:13,083 --> 00:31:18,921
the BBC trying to summarize this. Okay. Start with NPR.

530
00:31:18,927 --> 00:31:24,336
I'm looking, I see Al Jazeera. Iran bombing NPR. I'm

531
00:31:24,395 --> 00:31:27,019
sorry, I didn't see that one. The U.S. military says

532
00:31:27,101 --> 00:31:30,184
it's carrying out another round of strikes on Iran after

533
00:31:30,204 --> 00:31:33,349
Iran attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this

534
00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:37,355
week and retaliated for U.S. strikes last night. Earlier today,

535
00:31:37,436 --> 00:31:40,500
President Trump said Iranian attacks signaled the... end of the

536
00:31:40,622 --> 00:31:44,849
ceasefire, as NPR's Franco Ordonez explains. Trump not only warned

537
00:31:44,890 --> 00:31:47,556
that the U.S. would likely hit Iran again, but he

538
00:31:47,615 --> 00:31:50,521
also threatened to bring back a naval blockade. I mean,

539
00:31:50,541 --> 00:31:54,148
he is clearly frustrated after last night's series of strikes,

540
00:31:54,509 --> 00:31:57,615
and he really went off on Iranian leaders, calling them

541
00:31:57,776 --> 00:32:00,270
cuckoo and a bunch of liars. I don't want to

542
00:32:00,290 --> 00:32:02,384
deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum

543
00:32:02,404 --> 00:32:05,906
is? They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick

544
00:32:05,948 --> 00:32:10,616
people. and they're vicious violent people now the big question

545
00:32:10,737 --> 00:32:13,865
is whether calling off the ceasefire is actually a change

546
00:32:13,904 --> 00:32:17,934
in policy or simply a negotiating tactic but trump did

547
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:20,845
say during the press conference that this would not lead

548
00:32:20,924 --> 00:32:24,602
to full-scale fighting again and that anything that happened would

549
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:30,981
be over quickly. Mm-hmm. I like the, you know, we've

550
00:32:31,043 --> 00:32:34,760
talked about this before some time ago, about the pronunciation

551
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:38,406
of Iran. Yes. We got a lecture from somebody who

552
00:32:38,467 --> 00:32:41,347
told us how to pronounce it correctly. But it's still

553
00:32:41,389 --> 00:32:45,685
being pronounced Iran. It's definitely Iran. We know for a

554
00:32:45,746 --> 00:32:50,217
fact it's ear-on, ear-on. Your ear is on, ear-on. And

555
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,539
PBS or NPR there has gotten it correctly. Yeah. But

556
00:32:56,163 --> 00:32:59,134
you'll hear, it's almost like there's a code involved. Well,

557
00:32:59,155 --> 00:33:02,326
didn't. People who miss. pronounce it didn't we establish didn't

558
00:33:02,346 --> 00:33:05,679
we establish that people who were read in pronounced at

559
00:33:05,838 --> 00:33:08,749
iran and everyone else who doesn't pronounce it iran is

560
00:33:08,828 --> 00:33:11,532
not read in That's what I recall. I think that

561
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:16,467
was one of our interpretations. Possibly, yeah. Well, here's the

562
00:33:16,507 --> 00:33:21,249
BBC. Several Gulf nations have responded to Iranian... Holy... crap

563
00:33:21,289 --> 00:33:26,326
that's over modulated again so iran iranian yeah see now

564
00:33:26,365 --> 00:33:30,219
they're pronouncing it differently now okay now we can play

565
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,764
it I want to play it. Yeah, let me stop

566
00:33:32,805 --> 00:33:37,136
about the over-modulation. Okay. Okay, I've had, I don't know

567
00:33:37,239 --> 00:33:42,346
what it is. about the BBC. but there's something wrong

568
00:33:42,385 --> 00:33:47,413
with their waveform and their loops their loops are not

569
00:33:47,473 --> 00:33:51,912
good I'm telling you, there's something wrong with their waveform

570
00:33:51,952 --> 00:33:56,214
and I can't... Because when I'm... Playing with these clips,

571
00:33:56,435 --> 00:33:59,191
I'm not getting any of this, any of this over

572
00:33:59,251 --> 00:34:01,910
modulation. But every time you play it. through your system,

573
00:34:02,153 --> 00:34:06,731
it comes out. I'm not sure what to do about

574
00:34:06,791 --> 00:34:10,463
it. I will do a spectral analysis after the show

575
00:34:10,523 --> 00:34:12,730
and figure it out. It could very well be that

576
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:15,257
there's something going on in their processing that is hitting

577
00:34:15,318 --> 00:34:17,684
my processing in an odd way. I'm looking at the

578
00:34:17,744 --> 00:34:21,572
waveform. It doesn't look flat or anything. This is very

579
00:34:21,653 --> 00:34:25,077
technical, everybody. I'm glad you're listening in. Several Gulf nations

580
00:34:25,157 --> 00:34:29,563
have responded to Iranian attacks after the U.S. launched new

581
00:34:29,744 --> 00:34:34,550
airstrikes against Iran, including near the Strait of Hormuz. Explosions

582
00:34:34,590 --> 00:34:38,275
were reported in the Bahraini capital, Manama, while in Kuwait,

583
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:42,804
the military said its air defenses had intercepted... First of

584
00:34:42,864 --> 00:34:46,311
all, this guy has a wheelbarrow for those balls, man.

585
00:34:46,391 --> 00:34:58,255
That's amazing, that voice. Yeah, it's unbelievable, this character. That's

586
00:34:58,836 --> 00:35:04,673
crazy. has more from Washington. Donald Trump is returning to

587
00:35:04,733 --> 00:35:08,360
Washington. Now, he has been speaking on Air Force One,

588
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,224
where he said, amongst other things, we've just hit them

589
00:35:11,284 --> 00:35:14,148
very hard. And I say we hit them 20 to

590
00:35:14,409 --> 00:35:17,914
one. He added that every time they hit us, we're

591
00:35:17,954 --> 00:35:20,599
going to hit them 20, as he put it. And

592
00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:23,690
he also. claimed that Iran had called a little while

593
00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:26,541
ago saying that they wanted to make a deal badly.

594
00:35:26,922 --> 00:35:29,532
He said, I just don't know if they're worthy of

595
00:35:29,612 --> 00:35:33,572
making a deal. Our international editor Jeremy Bowen has this

596
00:35:33,653 --> 00:35:37,407
analysis of the latest developments. What is driving all of

597
00:35:37,467 --> 00:35:40,659
this is the fact that the Iranian regime in Tehran

598
00:35:40,739 --> 00:35:43,003
have a head of a weapon in being able to

599
00:35:43,043 --> 00:35:45,590
close the Strait of Hormuz. They can put the global

600
00:35:45,650 --> 00:35:48,454
economy in days in a chokehold. So that's where we're

601
00:35:48,474 --> 00:35:49,978
at. So I think what we're going to see is

602
00:35:50,059 --> 00:35:53,565
a lot of these ups and downs, probably more escalations,

603
00:35:53,626 --> 00:35:58,295
more oscillations, some more talks. Sources very adjacent to the

604
00:35:58,336 --> 00:36:01,476
talks have said to me that... Neither side is trying

605
00:36:01,496 --> 00:36:04,963
to walk away from the talks, but equally is taking

606
00:36:05,351 --> 00:36:07,702
quote, a lot of heavy lifting to try to get

607
00:36:07,742 --> 00:36:11,378
them back. to talking. I'm so sick of this. They

608
00:36:11,478 --> 00:36:15,438
closed the street before Moose. They didn't close anything. There's

609
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:21,019
not a row of IRGC Paddle boats blocking the straight.

610
00:36:21,731 --> 00:36:27,315
This language has got to stop. you know I want

611
00:36:27,355 --> 00:36:30,431
to play the CBS version of this, of the report.

612
00:36:30,916 --> 00:36:33,199
of the scum liars and cheats report because at the

613
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,257
end there was something There's something odd and different. The

614
00:36:37,297 --> 00:36:39,972
president said today that even though the ceasefire is over,

615
00:36:40,012 --> 00:36:43,713
the nuclear talks between the two... But with each side

616
00:36:43,793 --> 00:36:47,876
trading airstrikes and insults, it's pretty difficult to understand the

617
00:36:48,398 --> 00:36:55,275
way forward. There's scum. So we don't like him? I

618
00:36:55,295 --> 00:36:59,605
don't like him? They're evil people. President Trump unleashed on

619
00:36:59,686 --> 00:37:02,181
Iran for attacking three commercial... tankers in the Strait of

620
00:37:02,221 --> 00:37:07,313
Hormuz this week. They're liars, they're cheats, they're sick people.

621
00:37:07,675 --> 00:37:10,721
Just last month, Trump called Iran's leaders very rational people.

622
00:37:11,023 --> 00:37:13,568
But tonight, he's ordered more airstrikes along the Strait of

623
00:37:13,608 --> 00:37:18,543
Hormuz. which follows a heavy bombing campaign Tuesday night, when

624
00:37:18,623 --> 00:37:21,934
U.S. forces hit about 80 targets inside Iran, including its

625
00:37:21,994 --> 00:37:26,873
main naval base and dozens of small boats. Iran says

626
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:30,119
it responded by firing missiles and drones at 85 military

627
00:37:30,179 --> 00:37:35,168
targets inside Bahrain and Kuwait. The volleys the most significant

628
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:37,614
since the U.S. and Iran signed a memo of understanding

629
00:37:37,994 --> 00:37:41,887
about three weeks ago. But the president said. Iran's actions

630
00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:45,048
have killed the deal. There's something wrong with them. They're

631
00:37:45,090 --> 00:37:49,273
cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. Oil prices

632
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:51,739
spiked on that news, part of the reason why by

633
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,146
the end of today, the president was trying to turn

634
00:37:54,226 --> 00:37:57,813
down the temperature. I think anything that happens is going

635
00:37:57,833 --> 00:38:00,701
to be over very quickly. And we'll only... And will

636
00:38:00,740 --> 00:38:03,967
only make it safer, including for oil. Also at the

637
00:38:04,007 --> 00:38:07,132
NATO summit, the president met with Vladimir Zelensky and announced

638
00:38:07,172 --> 00:38:10,278
plans to let Ukraine start building Patriot missiles. But he

639
00:38:10,358 --> 00:38:14,427
also broached a three-way meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin. I

640
00:38:14,467 --> 00:38:16,590
don't know that he'd go to Moscow. Maybe he would.

641
00:38:16,612 --> 00:38:19,416
Would you go to Moscow? It's difficult. There are a

642
00:38:19,436 --> 00:38:22,378
lot of Ukrainian drones to the earth. Leaders here at

643
00:38:22,418 --> 00:38:26,086
the summit said their host, Turkish President Erdogan, gifted them

644
00:38:26,186 --> 00:38:29,936
all personalized revolvers and a box of ammunition. The White

645
00:38:29,956 --> 00:38:32,643
House didn't confirm Trump's gift, but the British prime minister

646
00:38:32,663 --> 00:38:34,889
said he had to leave his here because it would

647
00:38:34,929 --> 00:38:38,117
be illegal to bring it home. That's the weird part.

648
00:38:38,436 --> 00:38:41,320
What's up with that? They all gave him pistols with-

649
00:38:41,299 --> 00:38:45,362
With ammo? What, to shoot yourself? I thought that was

650
00:38:45,422 --> 00:38:47,875
very strange. It's a strange gift. I had not heard

651
00:38:47,935 --> 00:38:51,051
that. That was a good catch. That's a strange gift.

652
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:56,079
That is a strange gift. They gave him gold-plated pistols

653
00:38:56,140 --> 00:39:00,175
with one bullet in the chamber. Hint, hint. And a

654
00:39:00,235 --> 00:39:04,996
hairpin trigger. So what I feel is going on here

655
00:39:05,016 --> 00:39:10,110
is good cop, bad cop. It seems so obvious. Because

656
00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:12,306
this is from his, he did a lot of press,

657
00:39:12,405 --> 00:39:14,038
or at least a lot of clips came out of

658
00:39:14,077 --> 00:39:19,550
his press in... In Turkey at the NATO summit. Yeah,

659
00:39:19,570 --> 00:39:23,311
some NATO clips. This is... This is where I think

660
00:39:23,351 --> 00:39:26,297
this is the one where he's basically good cop, bad

661
00:39:26,358 --> 00:39:28,302
cop. Let those guys go be good cops. I'm going

662
00:39:28,322 --> 00:39:29,886
to be the bad cop. Do you have any questions?

663
00:39:30,126 --> 00:39:34,358
Is the ceasefire over? Is the ceasefire done? Is the

664
00:39:34,438 --> 00:39:39,988
MOU dead? That's a very interesting question. That's not an

665
00:39:40,108 --> 00:39:44,708
interesting question. I think it's over. I don't want to

666
00:39:44,748 --> 00:39:46,775
deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum

667
00:39:46,835 --> 00:39:50,344
is? They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick

668
00:39:50,384 --> 00:39:52,710
people. This is the full quote, which I think was

669
00:39:52,769 --> 00:39:56,599
more interesting than what the news just cherry-picked. And they're

670
00:39:56,699 --> 00:40:00,009
vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear war...

671
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,545
weapon they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's

672
00:40:02,666 --> 00:40:05,811
over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate.

673
00:40:05,831 --> 00:40:10,181
They're good people. Steve Whitcuff, Jared Kushner, but they have

674
00:40:10,221 --> 00:40:12,565
to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned,

675
00:40:12,626 --> 00:40:15,010
it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're

676
00:40:15,431 --> 00:40:19,570
liars. We make a deal. That to me. First of

677
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:21,123
all, they didn't put any of that in any of

678
00:40:21,184 --> 00:40:24,844
the news reports. Nothing about the nuclear nuclear bomb. I

679
00:40:24,885 --> 00:40:27,552
don't know why. And then he says, well, you know,

680
00:40:27,632 --> 00:40:29,557
those guys, they get to continue to talk, you know,

681
00:40:29,617 --> 00:40:32,967
Jared and Witkoff and they can come back to me,

682
00:40:33,188 --> 00:40:34,773
but I'm not going to talk to him. That is

683
00:40:35,034 --> 00:40:39,744
like so textbook. Good cop, bad cop. If I make

684
00:40:39,806 --> 00:40:41,253
a deal with him, we have a deal. And he

685
00:40:41,293 --> 00:40:44,047
goes out, he talks. We make a deal. Everyone's agreed.

686
00:40:44,248 --> 00:40:47,603
No nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside,

687
00:40:47,623 --> 00:40:49,454
talk to the press, they say, we never even talked

688
00:40:49,516 --> 00:40:54,336
about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As

689
00:40:54,356 --> 00:41:01,523
far as I'm concerned, it's over. after we get through

690
00:41:01,563 --> 00:41:04,309
the funeral proceedings. Does this mean that talks with Iran

691
00:41:04,329 --> 00:41:06,855
will not resume? I don't care. They can talk. But

692
00:41:06,894 --> 00:41:08,577
I think they're wasting their time. They're a bunch of

693
00:41:08,659 --> 00:41:11,603
lying guys. My whole life, that's all I do is

694
00:41:11,644 --> 00:41:14,289
deals. My whole life, that's how I became president, I

695
00:41:14,329 --> 00:41:17,074
guess. That's a deal too, right? But I made a

696
00:41:17,094 --> 00:41:19,420
lot of money. I had a lot of great success.

697
00:41:19,684 --> 00:41:23,311
Now, tremendous success. Everything I did, I was successful. And

698
00:41:23,351 --> 00:41:24,833
I deal with these guys, and I say, this is

699
00:41:24,873 --> 00:41:30,302
from a different school. They're liars. They're cheats. They're sick

700
00:41:30,364 --> 00:41:34,811
people. They've hurt their people. They killed 54,000 people as

701
00:41:34,891 --> 00:41:38,237
of now that were protesting. You know, when people say,

702
00:41:38,297 --> 00:41:40,362
how come they haven't taken over? They can't take over

703
00:41:40,922 --> 00:41:44,048
because they're dead. They killed them. Nobody's going to take

704
00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:45,972
over. They have no guns. And the other side has

705
00:41:46,012 --> 00:41:49,621
machine guns. And they're killing them. The press doesn't report

706
00:41:49,641 --> 00:41:54,010
it. But they're bad people. They're bad people. Something tells

707
00:41:54,070 --> 00:41:56,735
me this was not unexpected for them, that this would

708
00:41:56,775 --> 00:42:01,518
happen. And there's some there's some game afoot here actually

709
00:42:01,557 --> 00:42:07,548
that entire clip which was a good clip Um... I'm

710
00:42:07,568 --> 00:42:11,258
thinking whether it's worthy of a borderline. That entire clip,

711
00:42:11,559 --> 00:42:14,327
if the news media had played that in its entirety

712
00:42:14,367 --> 00:42:18,217
instead of these kind of cute clips of, oh, they're

713
00:42:18,297 --> 00:42:21,591
scum. Yeah. And then just leave it at that. Yeah.

714
00:42:22,075 --> 00:42:27,479
Out of context. So? The public would be serviced so

715
00:42:27,539 --> 00:42:32,308
much better. or served so much better by them being

716
00:42:32,368 --> 00:42:36,223
more honest with their clipping. Their clipping is terrible. And

717
00:42:36,343 --> 00:42:40,947
what's the verdict? But the media sucks? No, you said

718
00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:45,538
borderline. You were contemplating a borderline. Oh, you want it,

719
00:42:45,578 --> 00:42:47,945
don't ya? Well, you can't, like, dangle it in front

720
00:42:47,985 --> 00:42:50,051
of me and then say, "Well, I'm thinking about it,"

721
00:42:50,071 --> 00:42:54,884
but then... Okay, give yourself a borderline. Alright. ♪ Borderline

722
00:42:54,904 --> 00:42:58,820
♪ ♪ Flip of the day ♪ Wow. Hey, man.

723
00:42:58,827 --> 00:43:02,900
It was almost worthy of a borderline. Oh, okay. All

724
00:43:02,940 --> 00:43:06,332
right. You got your borderline. I couldn't give you a

725
00:43:06,352 --> 00:43:08,418
clip of the day. No, you haven't given me one

726
00:43:08,479 --> 00:43:12,872
of those in months. That's not true. Uh, be careful.

727
00:43:14,379 --> 00:43:18,442
It's not true. Okay. Okay. No, that's... But the point

728
00:43:18,482 --> 00:43:21,427
I was making was... Why don't we get, why doesn't

729
00:43:21,447 --> 00:43:24,035
the media give us that? And it's all out there.

730
00:43:24,056 --> 00:43:26,564
And NPR could have done that. BBC could have done

731
00:43:26,584 --> 00:43:28,791
that. That clip was what, how long was that clip?

732
00:43:28,811 --> 00:43:31,941
What was the total time? Total time is, let me

733
00:43:32,021 --> 00:43:41,012
see. Uhhhh... 155. It's under two minutes of clippage. Yeah,

734
00:43:41,032 --> 00:43:44,859
clippage. Clippage, as we call it. Well under what we

735
00:43:44,899 --> 00:43:50,048
consider the two-minute limit. The two-minute limit. Nothing can go

736
00:43:50,148 --> 00:43:51,912
past. If it's past two minutes, it's got to be

737
00:43:52,092 --> 00:43:55,558
really good. Well, no, if it's past two minutes, you

738
00:43:55,619 --> 00:43:58,063
or I, but one of the two of us, complain.

739
00:43:58,419 --> 00:44:03,000
Now, I know you have analysis. It's too long. I

740
00:44:03,021 --> 00:44:07,696
know you have analysis. I just have two more clips

741
00:44:07,717 --> 00:44:15,197
to play because Stunningly, stunningly, Look who comes out of

742
00:44:15,238 --> 00:44:19,819
nowhere and appears on Jake Tapper's show. What woman, what...

743
00:44:19,827 --> 00:44:22,737
Analysts, do you think would just pop out all of

744
00:44:22,777 --> 00:44:31,284
a sudden? Who? Vicki Newland. Oh my God. This morning,

745
00:44:31,304 --> 00:44:33,152
President Trump said that as far as he's concerned, the

746
00:44:33,192 --> 00:44:35,502
ceasefire is over and now we see these new strikes.

747
00:44:36,225 --> 00:44:39,619
So is this an end to the ceasefire or is...

748
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:42,401
it possible that this is just a negotiating tactic and

749
00:44:42,421 --> 00:44:47,113
the ceasefire is still officially on? Jake, it's good to

750
00:44:47,173 --> 00:44:49,638
be with you. I don't think that the United States

751
00:44:49,738 --> 00:44:52,925
and President Trump ever had a true agreement with Iran.

752
00:44:53,486 --> 00:44:56,593
What Iran thinks it got out of this ceasefire was

753
00:44:56,633 --> 00:45:00,521
the ability to control the Straits of Hormuz. exact tolls

754
00:45:00,641 --> 00:45:05,351
and other tribute from ships going through it. And when

755
00:45:05,471 --> 00:45:08,377
we tried to pass ships on the Omani side or

756
00:45:08,437 --> 00:45:12,565
without paying, the Iranians attacked. So we never really had

757
00:45:12,626 --> 00:45:14,690
a deal, and it's not a surprise that it's breaking

758
00:45:14,730 --> 00:45:17,495
down. I think the question is what the president is

759
00:45:17,535 --> 00:45:19,479
willing to do to enforce it and to keep... the

760
00:45:19,499 --> 00:45:24,289
straits open and to set this free navigation standard for

761
00:45:24,349 --> 00:45:28,057
the world. Before these strikes started, Trump said he did

762
00:45:28,117 --> 00:45:30,582
not think an end to the ceasefire would mean a

763
00:45:30,642 --> 00:45:33,628
return to full-scale war. Is it going to be that

764
00:45:33,708 --> 00:45:37,496
simple? I mean, it seems like we've been involved in

765
00:45:37,516 --> 00:45:40,101
a full-scale war for quite some time. time even during

766
00:45:40,181 --> 00:45:43,448
this so-called ceasefire and by the way a war that

767
00:45:43,528 --> 00:45:47,877
we are losing jake uh as i said the president

768
00:45:47,938 --> 00:45:51,385
has never gotten us back to the status quo ante

769
00:45:51,425 --> 00:45:53,850
which was a straight of hormuz that was open to

770
00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:57,337
navigation without fees or tolls and that iran did not

771
00:45:57,397 --> 00:46:00,751
control You know, the Iran has been testing this all

772
00:46:00,771 --> 00:46:03,375
the way through. And frankly, this war that we started

773
00:46:03,456 --> 00:46:05,719
has left us in a far worse position than we

774
00:46:05,779 --> 00:46:08,163
were in before. I can only think she's mad that

775
00:46:08,203 --> 00:46:10,587
she wasn't involved in this war. I mean, she likes

776
00:46:10,647 --> 00:46:13,472
this. This is what she does. She sparks wars. She

777
00:46:13,532 --> 00:46:16,998
hands out doughnuts. Let's get it going, boys. And then

778
00:46:17,238 --> 00:46:21,477
in this. Yet another! ...piece of audio that you didn't

779
00:46:21,497 --> 00:46:25,169
hear much of. I was asked why he's been apparently

780
00:46:25,270 --> 00:46:28,119
unable to end the Iran war, and after claiming that

781
00:46:28,139 --> 00:46:30,185
the U.S. was doing so well, he said this. Take

782
00:46:30,226 --> 00:46:35,803
a listen. They're dealing with very fine people. What? What?

783
00:46:36,206 --> 00:46:41,057
Come on. That's like a shoo-in for the M5M. I

784
00:46:41,077 --> 00:46:44,149
couldn't understand it. He says we're dealing with very fine

785
00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:48,052
people. That's a beauty. Oh, I missed it. I couldn't

786
00:46:48,092 --> 00:46:50,098
hear it. That's a beauty. That's because of the stupid

787
00:46:50,138 --> 00:46:53,387
sound effect they throw in. They're dealing with very fine

788
00:46:53,447 --> 00:46:56,797
people. Oh, come on, man. That's a shit. Yeah, that

789
00:46:56,837 --> 00:46:58,641
would admit you right. If you and I were running

790
00:46:58,701 --> 00:47:01,547
CNN, we'd be throwing out the very fine people on

791
00:47:01,607 --> 00:47:06,096
both sides' clip immediately. Absolutely. What a misser. They're dealing

792
00:47:06,116 --> 00:47:09,303
with Steve Woodcuff, and they're dealing with Jared Kushner and

793
00:47:09,363 --> 00:47:13,552
J.D. Vance, and they're dealing with Marco and Scott. They're

794
00:47:13,572 --> 00:47:17,119
dealing with great people, but I don't know. I think...

795
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:20,229
They're a little loco, they're a little crazy. What's your

796
00:47:20,289 --> 00:47:24,024
read on what's going wrong with the Trump administration's efforts

797
00:47:24,446 --> 00:47:26,374
to end the war? And do you think that the

798
00:47:26,454 --> 00:47:29,154
Iranian leaders... I don't know if I would say loco

799
00:47:29,215 --> 00:47:34,571
or crazy, but they believe in some pretty extreme theological

800
00:47:34,631 --> 00:47:38,922
beliefs. And is it possible... Did he say Iranian people

801
00:47:39,023 --> 00:47:42,911
or Iranian leaders? The Iranian leaders. Oh, leaders, okay. I

802
00:47:42,931 --> 00:47:44,614
don't know if I would say loco or crazy, but

803
00:47:44,734 --> 00:47:48,161
they are, I mean, they believe in some pretty extreme

804
00:47:48,241 --> 00:47:53,211
theological beliefs. And is it possible you can't negotiate with

805
00:47:53,251 --> 00:47:55,997
them? Well, as you know, we did negotiate with them

806
00:47:56,097 --> 00:47:59,163
in the Obama administration. And we had a deal that

807
00:47:59,384 --> 00:48:02,650
we sent them money wasn't as broad and as strong

808
00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:05,396
as some of us would have liked, but nonetheless put

809
00:48:05,456 --> 00:48:08,923
a cap on the Iranian nuclear program. And President Trump

810
00:48:09,484 --> 00:48:12,771
ripped that up in his first term. We were trying

811
00:48:12,811 --> 00:48:16,097
to get back to that. And President Trump himself in

812
00:48:16,137 --> 00:48:19,484
the second term was. trying to negotiate with frankly an

813
00:48:19,524 --> 00:48:23,271
Iranian leader who had once before reached an agreement with

814
00:48:23,292 --> 00:48:26,818
the United States. Instead we bumped him off and now

815
00:48:26,859 --> 00:48:29,764
we have a far more extreme set of leaders who

816
00:48:29,824 --> 00:48:33,952
have to prove themselves to each other. And frankly if

817
00:48:34,013 --> 00:48:36,578
we're not willing to exact more pain on the Iranians,

818
00:48:36,638 --> 00:48:39,871
I mean we... as part of this deal immediately sanction

819
00:48:40,172 --> 00:48:43,497
uh relieved sanction pressure on them and allow them to

820
00:48:43,577 --> 00:48:47,003
sell oil again and to make money um why should

821
00:48:47,023 --> 00:48:49,006
they come to the table why should they agree to

822
00:48:49,146 --> 00:48:53,493
anything well of course whose side is she on i'm

823
00:48:53,533 --> 00:48:56,238
not sure i'm not sure sounds like she's on the

824
00:48:56,298 --> 00:49:01,570
other side Of course, Scott Besson immediately forbid them from

825
00:49:01,650 --> 00:49:04,495
selling oil. We've got, oh, no sanctions. And it's not

826
00:49:04,575 --> 00:49:06,779
just strikes going back and forth, is it? The U.S.

827
00:49:06,799 --> 00:49:10,867
has also reimposed oil sanctions on Iran. Yes, the U.S.'

828
00:49:10,847 --> 00:49:12,970
's initial response when we heard about this really just

829
00:49:13,030 --> 00:49:16,717
before those later strikes was to revoke a license which

830
00:49:16,857 --> 00:49:21,213
temporarily... lifted some sanctions on Iran as part of the

831
00:49:21,573 --> 00:49:25,359
memorandum of understanding. Take that, Vicky Newland. Into the cessation

832
00:49:25,740 --> 00:49:29,887
of hostilities. That's when these sanctions were first brought into

833
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:33,452
effect. But the sanctions waiver had allowed the Islamic Republic

834
00:49:33,492 --> 00:49:37,239
to produce, sell and deliver oil. So it was a

835
00:49:37,339 --> 00:49:39,628
key. part of the process to get to the next

836
00:49:39,668 --> 00:49:43,947
stage of the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran with

837
00:49:44,108 --> 00:49:48,417
the big issues, nuclear weapons, still to be resolved. Yeah,

838
00:49:48,578 --> 00:49:53,124
and also from Fariba, it was very clear that no

839
00:49:53,244 --> 00:49:56,396
one has really been hurt in Iran. You know, the

840
00:49:56,437 --> 00:50:00,008
population is okay. And there's still more.

841
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,976
jobs in Amsterdam than there are in Tehran. and they're

842
00:50:05,056 --> 00:50:08,936
actually building new right yeah oh the students don't wear

843
00:50:08,998 --> 00:50:13,880
them oh that's over It really, I think the people.

844
00:50:14,523 --> 00:50:19,759
have shown the political leadership what they want. And I,

845
00:50:19,778 --> 00:50:21,693
I, I think the political... You're talking about in Iran.

846
00:50:21,713 --> 00:50:24,340
In Iran, yeah. And I think that... But meanwhile, in

847
00:50:24,481 --> 00:50:27,451
Amsterdam, they're wearing the hijabs all over the place. Oh,

848
00:50:27,471 --> 00:50:30,139
that's the Red-Green Alliance. This is the place. This is

849
00:50:30,219 --> 00:50:38,807
where the Muslims literally are running the cities. everywhere. It's

850
00:50:38,889 --> 00:50:45,628
over here. It's over. That's, uh, it's over. But in

851
00:50:45,668 --> 00:50:51,003
Tehran... It's the IRGC, or as Trump says, the IRGJ.

852
00:50:51,083 --> 00:50:57,586
It's the Imperial Revolutionary Guard of Japan. Thank you. He

853
00:50:57,626 --> 00:51:00,543
does himself no favors with that. Some people come to

854
00:51:00,583 --> 00:51:03,998
me, "Hey man, your guy is no good. He's demented.

855
00:51:04,038 --> 00:51:10,588
He's got Alzheimer's. He's cheating at soccer." Yeah, well, we

856
00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:15,436
all make mistakes. That was a doozy, though. That was

857
00:51:15,536 --> 00:51:20,019
quite the doozy. Oh, man. He's been making a few.

858
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,740
those now and again, but he's always done that. Well,

859
00:51:23,762 --> 00:51:26,434
let's go to some, let's do some overview stuff with,

860
00:51:26,454 --> 00:51:30,639
uh, you got some, uh, analysis, anal clips. Well, first

861
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:34,898
of all, let's start with these Al Jazeera clips. Okay.

862
00:51:34,978 --> 00:51:39,438
Trump-NATO overview. NATO summit in Ankara has ended with new

863
00:51:39,498 --> 00:51:43,547
pledges of support. Ukraine and defense spending but divisions remain

864
00:51:43,947 --> 00:51:48,797
over wider security challenges including Iran and Turkey's defense ambitions.

865
00:51:49,338 --> 00:51:53,586
Sen. Kostiolu reports from Ankara. US President Donald Trump who

866
00:51:53,606 --> 00:51:56,353
used the final hours of the NATO summit in Ankara

867
00:51:56,693 --> 00:51:59,920
with a new promise on Ukraine. The US will license

868
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:03,894
Patriot missile production, giving Kiev another boost to its air

869
00:52:03,916 --> 00:52:08,077
defenses. It was the clearest announcement from a summit that

870
00:52:08,197 --> 00:52:12,172
also delivered something many allies had been looking for, Trump's

871
00:52:12,253 --> 00:52:15,463
renewed commitment to NATO. We're going to give a license

872
00:52:15,525 --> 00:52:19,601
to you to make... Patriots, that's pretty cool, right? This

873
00:52:19,621 --> 00:52:21,969
way you can't complain that we're not giving them enough.

874
00:52:22,010 --> 00:52:25,849
Make them yourself. Trump said he believes Russia and Ukraine

875
00:52:26,108 --> 00:52:28,795
are... I love that. What did he say? He gives

876
00:52:28,876 --> 00:52:31,021
a license. We're giving you a license to make that

877
00:52:31,081 --> 00:52:34,869
paper. Make it yourself. You want missiles? Here. Here's a

878
00:52:34,949 --> 00:52:39,219
license. Here's a blueprint. Make them yourself. Well, actually, I...

879
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:43,307
I looked into that. The way it goes is they

880
00:52:43,367 --> 00:52:47,896
have to have a subsidiary of, who makes them? Northrop?

881
00:52:48,251 --> 00:52:50,831
I'm not sure who makes them. No, no, I think

882
00:52:50,871 --> 00:52:56,630
it's Raytheon. So they get the license to do it,

883
00:52:56,670 --> 00:53:00,336
but the license goes to a joint venture company. that

884
00:53:00,416 --> 00:53:04,766
is co-owned and co-operated by the manufacturer here in America.

885
00:53:04,865 --> 00:53:08,695
Yeah, you want that. Otherwise, it's just still the design.

886
00:53:08,715 --> 00:53:12,021
Of course. So the license is, you know, it's not

887
00:53:12,081 --> 00:53:14,648
like, you know, sign here and you're good to go.

888
00:53:16,411 --> 00:53:19,858
Yeah, true, but it's still a license. They still get

889
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,425
to make it. Yes, but with our people in the

890
00:53:23,505 --> 00:53:26,690
room. Yeah, to make sure there's no steel to the

891
00:53:26,711 --> 00:53:28,614
side. Yeah, sure. It takes a bit to get that

892
00:53:28,655 --> 00:53:30,759
all going, so that's not going to be done for

893
00:53:30,798 --> 00:53:35,567
a while. I would predict that the war will be

894
00:53:35,766 --> 00:53:40,121
over before they actually make one missile. Oh, I'll take...

895
00:53:40,099 --> 00:53:42,684
that bet because I got I got some other clips

896
00:53:42,804 --> 00:53:45,951
after we go through these of yours Patriots that's pretty

897
00:53:45,992 --> 00:53:49,237
cool this way you can't complain that we're not giving

898
00:53:49,257 --> 00:53:52,583
them enough it's a make him yourself Trump said he

899
00:53:52,644 --> 00:53:57,634
believes Russia and Ukraine are moving closer to negotiations leaders

900
00:53:57,653 --> 00:54:01,755
also back their political commitments with money pledging nearly $80

901
00:54:01,795 --> 00:54:05,405
billion in military support for Ukraine next year, with a

902
00:54:05,485 --> 00:54:09,896
matching commitment for 2027 while announcing more than $50 billion

903
00:54:10,398 --> 00:54:14,456
in new NATO's defense procurements. But the summit was also

904
00:54:14,496 --> 00:54:18,130
shaped by tensions with Iran. Trump insisted the exchange of

905
00:54:18,150 --> 00:54:22,404
attacks would not spiral into a wider conflict. I don't

906
00:54:22,445 --> 00:54:25,159
think so. I think anything that happens is going to

907
00:54:25,179 --> 00:54:28,920
be over very quickly. And we'll only make it safer,

908
00:54:29,021 --> 00:54:34,034
including for oil. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is hoping

909
00:54:34,416 --> 00:54:38,210
it helps secure the F-35 jets Ankara paid for and

910
00:54:38,311 --> 00:54:45,559
a path back into the program. Regarding the F-35s, Mr.

911
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:49,688
Trump actually has a positive approach towards Turkey. God willing,

912
00:54:49,869 --> 00:54:53,438
when the F-35s are delivered to Turkey, the whole world

913
00:54:53,478 --> 00:54:58,476
will say that America kept its promise. Hmm. They won't.

914
00:54:59,404 --> 00:55:01,220
Probably not. The whole world's not going to say anything.

915
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:03,507
thing no i don't think so either who cares about

916
00:55:03,547 --> 00:55:05,675
it you know i mean i don't even know why

917
00:55:05,715 --> 00:55:08,724
this well there's something going on with those f-35s but

918
00:55:08,925 --> 00:55:13,639
yeah let's skip to uh the more kind of the

919
00:55:14,028 --> 00:55:17,255
kind of the issues that were going on with Trump.

920
00:55:17,644 --> 00:55:20,090
condemning NATO and trying to get out some of these

921
00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:28,016
other things at least as Thank you, Richard. The NATO

922
00:55:28,036 --> 00:55:30,661
summit is winding down after a bumpy two days of

923
00:55:30,860 --> 00:55:34,768
high-stakes diplomatic meetings in Ankara. Since Trump took office again

924
00:55:34,867 --> 00:55:39,016
last year, tension has only grown over Ukraine, over Iran,

925
00:55:39,096 --> 00:55:43,463
Arctic security, and President Trump's... highly transactional view of global

926
00:55:43,483 --> 00:55:46,429
alliances. One of the presidents of a big country stood

927
00:55:46,470 --> 00:55:49,396
up and said, well, sir, if we don't pay and

928
00:55:49,896 --> 00:55:53,063
we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said,

929
00:55:53,403 --> 00:55:57,813
you didn't pay? You're delinquent? He said, yes. Let's say

930
00:55:57,853 --> 00:56:00,518
that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact,

931
00:56:00,637 --> 00:56:05,067
I would encourage... You gotta pay. You gotta pay your

932
00:56:05,126 --> 00:56:07,992
bills. I think it's common sense, right? If they don't

933
00:56:08,052 --> 00:56:10,197
pay, I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna

934
00:56:10,237 --> 00:56:12,402
defend them. I got into a lot of heat when

935
00:56:12,442 --> 00:56:15,949
I said that. You said, oh, he's violating NATO. We're

936
00:56:15,989 --> 00:56:18,914
defending the Strait for everybody else. And then in the

937
00:56:18,954 --> 00:56:22,836
case of NATO... They don't want to help us defend

938
00:56:22,876 --> 00:56:25,711
the Strait and they're the ones that need it. We're

939
00:56:25,751 --> 00:56:30,213
very disappointed with NATO. Because NATO has done absolutely nothing.

940
00:56:30,653 --> 00:56:32,980
I said 25 years ago that NATO is a paper

941
00:56:33,019 --> 00:56:37,210
tiger, but more importantly that we'll come to their rescue,

942
00:56:37,230 --> 00:56:40,217
but they will never come to ours. We were disappointed

943
00:56:40,257 --> 00:56:43,829
with the UK. We're disappointed with Germany and France. We're

944
00:56:43,889 --> 00:56:47,248
disappointed with... Most of them, I just want loyalty. You

945
00:56:47,288 --> 00:56:50,414
know, we're so loyal to them. We're always fighting for

946
00:56:50,454 --> 00:56:54,003
them. We have thousands of troops all over Europe. In

947
00:56:54,043 --> 00:56:56,929
Germany, we have 50,000 troops. And then you want a

948
00:56:56,971 --> 00:56:59,496
little, give us a little nudge, give us a little

949
00:56:59,556 --> 00:57:02,871
kiss. We don't want much. Since taking office, NATO's Secretary

950
00:57:02,931 --> 00:57:06,476
General Mark Rutte has set to work trying to keep

951
00:57:06,496 --> 00:57:09,501
Trump engaged with the alliance with an unabashed charm offensive.

952
00:57:09,521 --> 00:57:12,186
He recently headed into the Oval Office armed with large

953
00:57:12,286 --> 00:57:15,690
charts crediting the president for a massive spike in spending

954
00:57:15,771 --> 00:57:20,179
by NATO allies. But despite the relentless praise from Rutte,

955
00:57:20,318 --> 00:57:24,929
the existential question remains. Can America's allies successfully repair and

956
00:57:24,970 --> 00:57:28,920
maintain ties with this Trump administration while still preserving their

957
00:57:29,021 --> 00:57:32,248
own independence on the world stage? I can't believe they

958
00:57:32,269 --> 00:57:35,518
didn't play a soundbite of Ritter. That guy is television

959
00:57:35,657 --> 00:57:39,588
gold. I don't know. This LG Zero. I got it.

960
00:57:39,608 --> 00:57:42,081
So the one thing that's always... left kind of left

961
00:57:42,246 --> 00:57:45,539
out. Is there one of the reasons Trump's so irked?

962
00:57:45,927 --> 00:57:51,452
is that during this Iranian incursion. you know they had

963
00:57:51,512 --> 00:57:56,237
their couple of aircraft carriers and they wanted to Refuel

964
00:57:56,277 --> 00:58:01,320
them like in Spain. some other ports, and the Spanish.

965
00:58:01,423 --> 00:58:04,454
No, we don't want to see that aircraft carrier here

966
00:58:04,554 --> 00:58:08,188
anywhere around here. Do you have the Spain bit? Well,

967
00:58:08,208 --> 00:58:10,054
this is old. I mean, this was like at the

968
00:58:10,094 --> 00:58:11,760
very beginning. No, no, no. But do you have the

969
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,760
bit from the press conference about Spain? Oh, let me

970
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,360
play it for you. Yeah, play it. This is fantastic.

971
00:58:18,420 --> 00:58:21,220
I spoke to Germany, I spoke to France. Because this...

972
00:58:21,291 --> 00:58:23,518
This part was in your Al Jazeera piece, but not

973
00:58:23,557 --> 00:58:26,405
the Spain bit. Again, a disservice. Yeah, I don't get

974
00:58:26,445 --> 00:58:29,393
it. A disservice to their viewers. I spoke to Germany,

975
00:58:29,413 --> 00:58:34,855
I spoke to France, I spoke to... UK, spoke to

976
00:58:34,894 --> 00:58:37,425
Italy, I spoke to, I didn't speak to Spain. Spain

977
00:58:37,485 --> 00:58:40,136
is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any

978
00:58:40,177 --> 00:58:41,915
trade business with them. Spain anymore, by the way. I'd

979
00:58:41,935 --> 00:58:45,491
like you to cut her up. Spain is a... A

980
00:58:45,512 --> 00:58:50,329
terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay.

981
00:58:50,369 --> 00:58:53,759
I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off

982
00:58:53,839 --> 00:58:58,714
all trade with Spain, please. Please. Including visits. Nothing. Okay,

983
00:58:58,754 --> 00:59:01,320
we don't want anything to do. Watch them. come running

984
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:06,371
back. They'll come running back. They treat this man terribly.

985
00:59:06,751 --> 00:59:09,496
This man's a good man, too. Great man. Great man.

986
00:59:09,757 --> 00:59:13,184
They're lucky they have him. But Spain doesn't agree to

987
00:59:13,203 --> 00:59:16,170
anything. And you shouldn't carry him. I mean, you sort

988
00:59:16,210 --> 00:59:19,195
of automatically carry him because you're protecting an area. So

989
00:59:19,215 --> 00:59:21,407
they're there. So they probably figured they have to. to

990
00:59:21,427 --> 00:59:24,414
protect us, right? But we don't have to. We don't

991
00:59:24,434 --> 00:59:25,677
have to trade with them. I don't want to do

992
00:59:25,697 --> 00:59:29,206
any more trade with them. All right? Immediately. Don't even

993
00:59:29,246 --> 00:59:33,456
talk to them. They're hopeless. They're bad people because, you

994
00:59:33,476 --> 00:59:36,744
know, they have everybody else going and paying and working.

995
00:59:37,163 --> 00:59:39,409
Spain, in particular Spain. There are a couple of others,

996
00:59:39,470 --> 00:59:42,503
but in particular Spain. Spain. They're open about it. They're

997
00:59:42,543 --> 00:59:47,010
hostile about it. And let's see a hustle. They remain

998
00:59:47,050 --> 00:59:49,773
when they call up and they please, please, we want

999
00:59:49,793 --> 00:59:51,617
to trade with you, sir. We want to trade with

1000
00:59:51,677 --> 00:59:54,780
you, sir. They make so much money with us and

1001
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,523
we're going to see that they make a lot less.

1002
00:59:57,144 --> 00:59:59,628
I want no business with them. I just like who's

1003
00:59:59,668 --> 01:00:00,009
just talking.

1004
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,768
Look into people off camera, cut it off, cut off

1005
01:00:01,809 --> 01:00:04,541
all trade with them. No more visits. No more visitation

1006
01:00:04,581 --> 01:00:07,717
for you. You can't visit our country, Spain. No, you're

1007
01:00:07,737 --> 01:00:11,382
not coming in. Fantastic. Why don't they play that? That

1008
01:00:11,422 --> 01:00:16,014
was a terrific yes. uh i only heard part of

1009
01:00:16,074 --> 01:00:18,472
that but now that i hear the whole thing i'm

1010
01:00:18,514 --> 01:00:20,309
going to give you a clip of the day here

1011
01:00:20,369 --> 01:00:25,862
we go bend over everybody without you begging for it

1012
01:00:26,081 --> 01:00:27,905
hi so i had i had my finger on the

1013
01:00:27,945 --> 01:00:33,603
button so yeah so uh yes this is the issue

1014
01:00:33,643 --> 01:00:37,349
he's got he's got an issue and this was this

1015
01:00:37,409 --> 01:00:43,364
was to me Suppressed news. Why, though? Yes. Well, there's

1016
01:00:43,405 --> 01:00:46,033
the question we have to try to figure out. Why

1017
01:00:46,073 --> 01:00:50,507
was that suppressed? So nobody that's listening to this show.

1018
01:00:50,831 --> 01:00:54,182
heard any of that except on this show. No. And

1019
01:00:54,223 --> 01:00:58,322
it should have been top of the news. I think

1020
01:00:58,363 --> 01:01:02,167
so. Above the fold, as they say. Let me do

1021
01:01:02,268 --> 01:01:05,003
it. No, we got nothing. It was infected. We showed

1022
01:01:05,084 --> 01:01:07,437
by the clips that I played. They cut it out.

1023
01:01:07,477 --> 01:01:12,622
Yeah. They did not... That's the kicker of the whole...

1024
01:01:12,662 --> 01:01:15,595
Look, do you want people watching your news or not?

1025
01:01:16,111 --> 01:01:21,844
That's what people watch for. Ah, crump. Well, that's because

1026
01:01:21,864 --> 01:01:26,695
there's something going on. Let's play part two of the

1027
01:01:26,815 --> 01:01:31,645
Trump versus NATO. Actually, it says three, but it's really

1028
01:01:31,665 --> 01:01:34,771
two. No, but you have Trump versus NATO. Oh, there

1029
01:01:34,852 --> 01:01:37,838
is two. What might a potential reset mean for global

1030
01:01:37,858 --> 01:01:41,072
defense? Richard Gaisford has this report. Five through six on

1031
01:01:41,113 --> 01:01:47,063
Bravo. U.S. Marines in action in Eastern Europe last week.

1032
01:01:47,515 --> 01:01:52,322
on a joint training exercise with Romanian counterparts. It's all

1033
01:01:52,382 --> 01:01:56,387
part of ongoing NATO cooperation that for more than seven

1034
01:01:56,488 --> 01:02:00,474
decades has seen members... ready to fight together against a

1035
01:02:00,534 --> 01:02:04,760
common enemy. The treaty was agreed right here in Washington,

1036
01:02:04,780 --> 01:02:09,387
D.C. back in 1949 with 12 countries coming together to

1037
01:02:09,447 --> 01:02:13,412
sign it inside the historic building behind me. Now, times

1038
01:02:13,613 --> 01:02:16,096
might have changed, but a bit like the facade of

1039
01:02:16,156 --> 01:02:20,551
the auditorium here, the... ethos of NATO has stayed pretty

1040
01:02:20,651 --> 01:02:24,537
much the same. Although it's unlikely those who created NATO

1041
01:02:24,597 --> 01:02:27,442
would have thought one of the biggest threats to its

1042
01:02:27,542 --> 01:02:32,971
existence could have come from inside America itself. Since he

1043
01:02:33,011 --> 01:02:36,336
first took office, Donald Trump's shown disdain for the long-standing

1044
01:02:36,397 --> 01:02:41,129
alliance, believing... smaller countries have become reliant on the United

1045
01:02:41,149 --> 01:02:44,940
States and were unwilling to fund their own defense. NATO

1046
01:02:44,980 --> 01:02:50,540
members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their

1047
01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:55,987
financial obligations. But 23 of the 28 member nations are

1048
01:02:56,047 --> 01:02:59,296
still not paying what they should be paying. and what

1049
01:02:59,316 --> 01:03:02,504
they are supposed to be paying for their defense. This

1050
01:03:02,604 --> 01:03:05,130
is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the

1051
01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:10,183
United States. The president's ever-shifting stance on supporting Ukraine's certainly

1052
01:03:10,283 --> 01:03:14,112
tested nerves within NATO. Ever-shifting stance? I don't think it's

1053
01:03:14,273 --> 01:03:20,377
ever-shifting. Is it ever shifting? Not that I can tell.

1054
01:03:20,418 --> 01:03:23,445
I don't think so. ...for their defense. This is not

1055
01:03:23,565 --> 01:03:26,392
fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States.

1056
01:03:26,412 --> 01:03:31,584
The president's ever-shifting stance on supporting Ukraine's certainly tested nerves

1057
01:03:31,644 --> 01:03:35,995
within NATO. With its secretary general doing what he can

1058
01:03:36,035 --> 01:03:38,652
in the president's second term... to keep him on his

1059
01:03:38,672 --> 01:03:42,598
side. I don't have many disagreements with the President of

1060
01:03:42,618 --> 01:03:46,323
the States. No. Unity's been stretched with Trump's desire to

1061
01:03:46,383 --> 01:03:49,628
take control of Greenland. And NATO's got to understand that

1062
01:03:50,509 --> 01:03:52,833
I'm all for NATO, I save NATO. If it weren't

1063
01:03:52,873 --> 01:03:55,556
for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now. But

1064
01:03:55,597 --> 01:03:58,874
we're not going to allow Russia... or China to occupy

1065
01:03:58,935 --> 01:04:01,803
Greenland. And that's what's going to happen if we don't.

1066
01:04:02,415 --> 01:04:04,144
Okay, I have to put... That's an old... Hold on.

1067
01:04:04,286 --> 01:04:07,365
That's an old clip. That's an old clip. Yep. And

1068
01:04:07,486 --> 01:04:11,211
the whole thing is brought to the fore. by McCrone,

1069
01:04:11,454 --> 01:04:15,224
Out of the Blue. and during these meetings saying well

1070
01:04:15,264 --> 01:04:17,888
you know if we were ready to send our troops

1071
01:04:17,948 --> 01:04:21,994
to fight the USA in Greenland if it was necessary.

1072
01:04:22,075 --> 01:04:24,839
Yeah, Macron is on the outs here. Everyone else is

1073
01:04:24,899 --> 01:04:26,141
kind of sucking up. Well, Macron is totally on the

1074
01:04:26,261 --> 01:04:28,505
outs. I've got to play 30 seconds of Ruta. I've

1075
01:04:28,525 --> 01:04:32,872
just got to play it. No one's playing. No one

1076
01:04:32,932 --> 01:04:36,438
is playing him. It spices up the show. Nobody's playing

1077
01:04:36,518 --> 01:04:40,145
Mark. Here in Ankara, I expect nations to present clear,

1078
01:04:40,827 --> 01:04:44,133
concrete and credible plans. Plans, we want plans and your

1079
01:04:44,153 --> 01:04:49,023
money. To reach that 5% goal. 5%. And the evidence

1080
01:04:49,103 --> 01:04:52,350
we see so far is impressive. I had a good

1081
01:04:52,430 --> 01:04:57,119
visit last week with President Trump. I showed my PowerPoint.

1082
01:04:57,099 --> 01:04:59,704
I called him trillion-dollar Trumpy, and it's great. And we

1083
01:04:59,724 --> 01:05:03,893
discussed the staggering increase in defense spending by Europeans and

1084
01:05:03,913 --> 01:05:06,718
Canadians. Good. Of course, this is because of Putin and

1085
01:05:06,799 --> 01:05:10,727
Russia and Ukraine, but also because he, President Trump, has

1086
01:05:10,787 --> 01:05:14,354
been extremely forceful encouraging us to do this. Yes, forceful

1087
01:05:14,374 --> 01:05:16,218
to encourage us to do it. You better do it,

1088
01:05:16,238 --> 01:05:21,916
yes? Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Very good. Very good.

1089
01:05:22,719 --> 01:05:25,467
That was it. I just need to play that. Yeah,

1090
01:05:25,487 --> 01:05:28,797
okay. You continue with this. Number three? Yeah. NATO three.

1091
01:05:28,897 --> 01:05:33,570
Yes. Yeah? NATO launched Arctic Sentry to reassure leaders in

1092
01:05:33,590 --> 01:05:37,381
the US and Europe that it could maintain... high levels

1093
01:05:37,441 --> 01:05:41,048
of vigilance in the area, although weeks later there was

1094
01:05:41,068 --> 01:05:44,816
further friction when NATO members declined to offer help in

1095
01:05:44,856 --> 01:05:49,045
the U.S. conflict with Iran, refusing to send warships into

1096
01:05:49,085 --> 01:05:51,530
the Strait of Hormuz. Because we don't need them, but

1097
01:05:51,550 --> 01:05:54,416
they should have been there. That's reinforced Trump's view of

1098
01:05:54,436 --> 01:05:59,035
a one-sided alliance. prompting a now familiar refrain. But we

1099
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:03,541
weren't treated well because we did something in Iran. We

1100
01:06:03,561 --> 01:06:06,686
don't need anybody's help. I didn't even want their help.

1101
01:06:07,407 --> 01:06:10,431
But before I asked, they said they wouldn't be there.

1102
01:06:11,052 --> 01:06:14,337
But, you know, why are we spending hundreds of billions

1103
01:06:14,417 --> 01:06:17,763
of dollars? And they're not there for us. We've always

1104
01:06:17,823 --> 01:06:21,831
been there for them. This is Coalition Warship Foxtrot 310

1105
01:06:21,891 --> 01:06:25,679
operating in support of the United Nations Security Council resolution.

1106
01:06:25,919 --> 01:06:29,506
Allies hope promises to increase their defense spending will help

1107
01:06:29,646 --> 01:06:34,055
smooth the way as NATO members meet. But leaders know,

1108
01:06:34,356 --> 01:06:39,171
based on recent experience... Under the surface, tensions could easily

1109
01:06:39,251 --> 01:06:45,697
emerge. Richard Gaisford, Al Jazeera, Washington. Yeah, now go to

1110
01:06:45,777 --> 01:06:48,651
the analysis clip, which will be my last one. Okay,

1111
01:06:48,671 --> 01:06:53,609
let's see. Anal, anal, here we go. Oops. We're joined

1112
01:06:53,630 --> 01:06:57,963
now by Jim Townsend, the former U.S. Deputy... for European

1113
01:06:58,023 --> 01:07:00,648
and NATO policy, as well as Ambassador Michael Carpenter, who

1114
01:07:00,688 --> 01:07:03,233
was most recently the Senior Director for Europe on the

1115
01:07:03,293 --> 01:07:06,660
National Security Council under President Joe Biden. Gentlemen, thank you

1116
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,025
both so much for joining us today. It was a

1117
01:07:09,065 --> 01:07:12,171
remarkable NATO summit in Ankara, and I want to start

1118
01:07:12,211 --> 01:07:16,439
with the news. Repeated blasting of NATO by Trump. despite

1119
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,604
the fact that this is meant to be an event

1120
01:07:18,664 --> 01:07:22,031
that shows the unity, the solidarity of the alliance, repeatedly

1121
01:07:22,091 --> 01:07:25,738
saying, I'm not happy with NATO. He went after Spain

1122
01:07:25,898 --> 01:07:31,209
repeatedly, France, Great Britain, and Germany. Jim, this acrimony from

1123
01:07:31,289 --> 01:07:35,377
Trump towards the NATO alliance, not even softening when he's

1124
01:07:35,397 --> 01:07:38,624
sitting in front. of the Secretary General in the warm

1125
01:07:38,664 --> 01:07:41,690
embrace of all these allies. Well, absolutely. And the Secretary

1126
01:07:41,770 --> 01:07:44,756
General had to keep a stony face as he was

1127
01:07:44,916 --> 01:07:48,223
listening to what the president was saying. And so this

1128
01:07:48,303 --> 01:07:50,648
is something that is... Wait a minute, wait a minute.

1129
01:07:50,708 --> 01:07:53,373
Are they saying that Mark Rutte, that he had to

1130
01:07:53,433 --> 01:07:56,323
keep a stony face because he disagrees and thinks... Our

1131
01:07:56,344 --> 01:08:00,822
president is stupid? That's what kind of what they implied.

1132
01:08:00,983 --> 01:08:05,359
He loves Trump. Yeah, I know. And he's proven that

1133
01:08:05,380 --> 01:08:10,264
he's the top sales guy. Trump loves him. Yeah, that's

1134
01:08:10,284 --> 01:08:14,469
crazy. Zalzura. Yeah. Allies. Well, absolutely. And the Secretary General

1135
01:08:14,530 --> 01:08:17,661
had to keep a stony face. as he was listening

1136
01:08:17,762 --> 01:08:20,668
to what the president was saying. And so this is

1137
01:08:20,708 --> 01:08:26,119
something that has gotten outrageous. He has just a stuck

1138
01:08:26,220 --> 01:08:29,346
record. He just seems to repeat the same talking points

1139
01:08:29,527 --> 01:08:32,112
over and over and over again. Now he's singling out

1140
01:08:32,192 --> 01:08:36,172
nations. You know, he's done it up. He's a stuck

1141
01:08:36,252 --> 01:08:39,016
record. I thought he was all over the map. He's

1142
01:08:39,036 --> 01:08:42,722
inconsistent. He's saying one thing, then saying another, then saying

1143
01:08:42,782 --> 01:08:47,348
another. But now he's a stuck record? It's unbelievable. Make

1144
01:08:47,368 --> 01:08:50,593
up your minds, people. You really notice it here in

1145
01:08:50,653 --> 01:08:54,791
this country? Do you notice how stuck everybody is? I

1146
01:08:54,811 --> 01:08:56,477
mean, we have a lot of that in our news

1147
01:08:56,537 --> 01:09:04,683
media and people who, I mean, it's popular. You're referring

1148
01:09:04,703 --> 01:09:07,592
to Holland? Yes, to Holland, yeah. I'm trying to figure

1149
01:09:07,612 --> 01:09:12,766
out how to frame it. People will approach me, friends,

1150
01:09:12,826 --> 01:09:17,297
family, people I don't even know. And they immediately assume

1151
01:09:17,337 --> 01:09:20,592
that you are going to take on the, yeah, Trump's

1152
01:09:20,672 --> 01:09:24,340
crazy, roll my eyes. And if you say, well, you

1153
01:09:24,462 --> 01:09:27,652
know, there's a couple things he's doing. then it breaks,

1154
01:09:27,692 --> 01:09:32,575
you know, you break through so easily, but everybody, everybody.

1155
01:09:33,123 --> 01:09:37,805
has this, they're to give their opinion. And we're not

1156
01:09:37,966 --> 01:09:40,532
Trump lovers. First of all, I think he's great for

1157
01:09:40,572 --> 01:09:43,864
the show. We've always said that, and it's going to

1158
01:09:43,884 --> 01:09:46,363
be a sad day when he's gone, when they take

1159
01:09:46,424 --> 01:09:52,899
him out. Yeah. Take them out. um But it's just

1160
01:09:53,060 --> 01:09:56,449
everywhere. It's so rampant. What is this? mind control that

1161
01:09:56,510 --> 01:10:00,008
people are afraid to just say, well, he sucks.

1162
01:10:00,220 --> 01:10:03,871
and that's dumb, but, you know, we don't have any

1163
01:10:04,070 --> 01:10:06,257
immigrants who are getting rid of them and we don't

1164
01:10:06,278 --> 01:10:08,505
have the stupid climate change. And you just have to

1165
01:10:08,545 --> 01:10:11,890
say those two things in any country in Europe. Well,

1166
01:10:11,930 --> 01:10:15,382
yes, that's true. That's true. That's true. Yes, you know,

1167
01:10:15,402 --> 01:10:17,270
I do have a problem with that here in this

1168
01:10:17,310 --> 01:10:23,091
country. Okay. But what is that? Has this always existed?

1169
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,670
Or is this just worse than it's ever been? The

1170
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:33,484
whole world cannot, they're afraid to say anything positive. Well,

1171
01:10:33,503 --> 01:10:39,421
you've... I've stumped you. You've kind of introduced a... Hey.

1172
01:10:39,555 --> 01:10:44,500
question that is uh not easily answerable i think it

1173
01:10:44,579 --> 01:10:50,364
always has existed it's it's hard to notice I think

1174
01:10:50,405 --> 01:10:53,164
there's an underlying thing. I mean, this reminds me. I

1175
01:10:53,225 --> 01:10:55,578
mean, at least 20 or 30 years ago, I was,

1176
01:10:56,242 --> 01:11:00,011
it was at some, one of these big conferences. And

1177
01:11:00,051 --> 01:11:06,121
I was talking to... some CEO of a very large

1178
01:11:06,201 --> 01:11:10,331
company. You won't mention his name? Well, I can't. If

1179
01:11:10,411 --> 01:11:12,657
I could remember his name or the company, I would.

1180
01:11:12,896 --> 01:11:15,743
But it was 30 years ago. Fair game, fair game.

1181
01:11:16,644 --> 01:11:22,099
So, um... And it was about some green energy. They

1182
01:11:22,119 --> 01:11:25,521
had made an announcement about... the climate change, it was

1183
01:11:25,603 --> 01:11:30,240
one of its little peak moments. And I said, I

1184
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,689
went up to the guy and said, you know, it's

1185
01:11:32,750 --> 01:11:35,771
interesting you guys are doing this, but... You really think,

1186
01:11:36,356 --> 01:11:39,533
I mean, I think climate change is a hoax. Or

1187
01:11:39,592 --> 01:11:43,037
some sort of scam, I can't figure out what. An

1188
01:11:43,158 --> 01:11:45,752
op. An op. And I didn't use that term then

1189
01:11:45,771 --> 01:11:51,805
because I wasn't that into the scene. And the guy

1190
01:11:51,864 --> 01:11:54,610
said, the guy just was quick without missing a beat.

1191
01:11:54,631 --> 01:11:57,697
He says, oh yeah, we know it's bullshit. Yeah, right.

1192
01:11:58,298 --> 01:12:03,244
Exactly. Exactly. The troll room is making some good points

1193
01:12:03,284 --> 01:12:06,587
that this was that COVID was the point where this

1194
01:12:06,627 --> 01:12:09,949
happened. Because anyone, I mean, it was so strong. If

1195
01:12:09,989 --> 01:12:15,576
you were against... What was happening? Everybody, politicians, the media,

1196
01:12:15,636 --> 01:12:19,488
your neighbors, your family, it broke up families. I think

1197
01:12:19,548 --> 01:12:23,574
that's where this came from. That's a reasonable point. Well,

1198
01:12:23,595 --> 01:12:27,280
I think it's always been there, but maybe it's exaggerated

1199
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:32,128
because it cranked it up. Yeah, and now... Yeah, I

1200
01:12:32,168 --> 01:12:36,074
can say that works. Funny enough, that's the one thing

1201
01:12:36,095 --> 01:12:39,733
that people now even hear saying, yeah, that was... bullcrap.

1202
01:12:40,247 --> 01:12:42,792
That made no sense. Yeah, but the shots are still

1203
01:12:42,851 --> 01:12:45,676
out there. I'll get to that in a moment. He

1204
01:12:45,716 --> 01:12:48,601
just seems to repeat the same talking points over and

1205
01:12:48,681 --> 01:12:52,529
over and over again. Now he's singling out nations, you

1206
01:12:52,569 --> 01:12:56,975
know, in front of them. And this undercuts the alliance.

1207
01:12:57,015 --> 01:13:00,422
It hurts unity. And it is embarrassing. and I think

1208
01:13:00,462 --> 01:13:17,899
allies are tired of it. Well, I think they're pushing

1209
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,354
back as they should. I mean, NATO is a defensive

1210
01:13:20,414 --> 01:13:26,016
alliance. It doesn't go on offensive wars. What? What about

1211
01:13:26,137 --> 01:13:30,292
Libya? We don't go on offensive wars. He explained Libya.

1212
01:13:30,313 --> 01:13:33,863
We don't do that. No. We came. We saw. He

1213
01:13:34,265 --> 01:13:37,917
died. We saw. He died. Where is my girl? Oh,

1214
01:13:38,096 --> 01:13:41,386
MacDeath. Isn't that her name? Oh, here we go. I

1215
01:13:41,407 --> 01:13:43,432
always loved playing her. So, I mean, that is the

1216
01:13:43,493 --> 01:13:48,105
land of unconfirmed... Yes, we came, we saw, he died.

1217
01:13:50,752 --> 01:13:52,759
Did you have anything to do with your visit? Oh,

1218
01:13:52,779 --> 01:13:59,121
I'm sure it did. Okay. So now, back to my-

1219
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:02,197
fun-loving clips. so we can all have another laugh about

1220
01:14:02,217 --> 01:14:06,282
the president. Because he just keeps on entertaining. United States

1221
01:14:06,341 --> 01:14:09,592
President Donald Trump has reignited a bitter diplomatic feud with

1222
01:14:09,693 --> 01:14:13,385
Italy, sharing a provocative social media post mocking Prime Minister

1223
01:14:13,444 --> 01:14:17,664
Giorgio Meloni before a critical NATO summit in Ankara. Trump

1224
01:14:17,788 --> 01:14:20,182
uploaded an image of the. two leaders on his true

1225
01:14:20,202 --> 01:14:23,829
social media account with a sarcastic caption suggesting he needed

1226
01:14:23,889 --> 01:14:27,296
a restraining order against her with the inflammatory post appearing

1227
01:14:27,376 --> 01:14:31,123
on the eve of high-level security meetings. The Italian government

1228
01:14:31,163 --> 01:14:34,570
has indicated that Meloni and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani are

1229
01:14:34,670 --> 01:14:38,374
choosing to ignore Trump's post at this time. The personal

1230
01:14:38,395 --> 01:14:41,427
dis... dispute highlights a deep and accelerating chill in bilateral

1231
01:14:41,488 --> 01:14:45,921
relations, which began fracturing over Middle East policy, criticism of

1232
01:14:46,001 --> 01:14:49,692
Pope Leo XIV, and Italy's refusal to permit American forces

1233
01:14:49,752 --> 01:14:53,921
to use domestic airfields. While Trump did not explicitly refer

1234
01:14:53,961 --> 01:14:56,792
to it in his latest social media post, he seemed

1235
01:14:56,832 --> 01:14:59,301
to be building on a claim of his last... I

1236
01:14:59,402 --> 01:15:13,270
love the restraining order line. That's too good. That's just...

1237
01:15:13,690 --> 01:15:16,877
That's a beauty, yeah. And I'm sure she thinks it's

1238
01:15:16,917 --> 01:15:19,564
funny too. I think she has. Well, let's hope so.

1239
01:15:19,685 --> 01:15:23,148
Yeah, I think she has that humor. Okay, so we

1240
01:15:23,167 --> 01:15:25,438
do have a quote from the president about what's going

1241
01:15:25,497 --> 01:15:27,728
on between Russia and Ukraine, and I am going to

1242
01:15:27,788 --> 01:15:31,752
state again. that what's happening right now, what Ukraine is

1243
01:15:31,792 --> 01:15:34,043
doing with their drones, and they're blowing stuff up in

1244
01:15:34,104 --> 01:15:37,490
Moscow. You're gonna push this guy too far and he's

1245
01:15:37,551 --> 01:15:41,149
going to make a big boom. Hold on a second.

1246
01:15:41,171 --> 01:15:44,261
You were predicting this boom weeks and weeks ago. No,

1247
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,748
no, no. Only two shows ago. Not weeks and weeks

1248
01:15:47,829 --> 01:15:50,523
ago. No, it wasn't two shows ago. You didn't do

1249
01:15:50,563 --> 01:15:52,835
it from Holland. You did it from Texas, and you

1250
01:15:52,854 --> 01:15:56,636
were in Holland too. Okay. Okay. How, I mean, how

1251
01:15:56,657 --> 01:15:59,273
long, what is the, what is the... the time the

1252
01:15:59,354 --> 01:16:02,979
frame that I get for this What, for an A-bomb

1253
01:16:03,060 --> 01:16:05,653
being dropped in Ukraine? I didn't say A-bomb. I said

1254
01:16:05,733 --> 01:16:08,945
a big boom. I didn't say an A-bomb. They've got

1255
01:16:09,006 --> 01:16:12,198
these rods from God. You hinted it was an A-bomb.

1256
01:16:12,418 --> 01:16:15,390
Something big is going to happen. Let's just call something

1257
01:16:15,652 --> 01:16:18,293
bad and big is going to happen. And it's going

1258
01:16:18,314 --> 01:16:23,337
to be Ukraine. It won't be Europe. And... And this

1259
01:16:23,417 --> 01:16:25,202
is not going to be over. Now, here's what the

1260
01:16:25,243 --> 01:16:29,114
president says, which I just disagree with this. Daniel, you've

1261
01:16:29,234 --> 01:16:34,369
made a career making deals in very challenging situations. Speaking

1262
01:16:34,390 --> 01:16:37,278
to President Zelensky, speaking to President Putin, in your view,

1263
01:16:37,297 --> 01:16:40,395
sir, what is the most... pragmatic pathway forward to finding

1264
01:16:40,416 --> 01:16:46,764
a long-term peace deal. This deal has been in the

1265
01:16:46,823 --> 01:16:49,815
works for a long time. It's got the pluses, the

1266
01:16:49,855 --> 01:16:51,643
minuses. They know what it is. He knows what it

1267
01:16:51,663 --> 01:16:57,619
is better than anybody. And I just think it's sometimes...

1268
01:16:57,948 --> 01:17:01,458
You know, I used an analogy And it sounds simple,

1269
01:17:01,478 --> 01:17:04,225
but it's sort of true. You have two kids in

1270
01:17:04,265 --> 01:17:06,010
a park, and they don't like each other, and they

1271
01:17:06,050 --> 01:17:10,502
start fighting. Sometimes you have to let them fight. Let

1272
01:17:10,521 --> 01:17:14,372
them see that it's tough. You know, it's tough. Fighting

1273
01:17:14,452 --> 01:17:22,264
is tough. He's done an amazing job. Look, he's been...

1274
01:17:22,587 --> 01:17:26,078
Very effective. He's had the best equipment because he's had

1275
01:17:26,140 --> 01:17:30,011
our equipment. And he said, great, but somebody has to

1276
01:17:30,073 --> 01:17:32,640
use that equipment. And you have a lot of brave

1277
01:17:32,701 --> 01:17:38,432
people that are using that equipment. So... I'm not a

1278
01:17:38,493 --> 01:17:40,636
big fan of like, oh, just let them fight on

1279
01:17:40,695 --> 01:17:42,899
because this stuff has to end. But there's a new

1280
01:17:42,979 --> 01:17:47,466
player. There's new things that are happening suddenly. And this

1281
01:17:47,546 --> 01:17:51,771
is partially the old world order coming back together to

1282
01:17:51,832 --> 01:17:56,578
create their own liberal rules-based order and cut out the

1283
01:17:56,639 --> 01:18:00,435
United States. And the new player is Canada. I think

1284
01:18:00,515 --> 01:18:07,466
the president, as did President Obama, which I just said

1285
01:18:07,605 --> 01:18:11,251
to someone else, is looking for a shift of the

1286
01:18:11,311 --> 01:18:15,757
burden within NATO. That's appropriate. That is happening. That's gaining

1287
01:18:15,797 --> 01:18:19,083
momentum. That's part of the point I made. to President

1288
01:18:19,184 --> 01:18:22,530
Trump when we spoke a few days ago is that

1289
01:18:23,353 --> 01:18:25,336
it's not just he's winning the argument. This is Carney,

1290
01:18:25,396 --> 01:18:27,079
of course, in case you didn't know. He's won the

1291
01:18:27,159 --> 01:18:32,872
argument. Countries recognize that they need to take more responsibility,

1292
01:18:32,931 --> 01:18:36,219
see the direct threats. Now, the question for NATO and

1293
01:18:36,238 --> 01:18:38,324
the... Part of what we will discuss and part of

1294
01:18:38,345 --> 01:18:41,274
the point I will make in the room with my

1295
01:18:41,534 --> 01:18:44,984
three and a half minutes of time, which is about

1296
01:18:45,005 --> 01:18:46,590
a quarter of the length of my normal answer, I

1297
01:18:46,609 --> 01:18:56,171
know, so I apologize. is that That, um, those shifting

1298
01:18:56,252 --> 01:18:59,942
burdens are going to be, in our view, most effectively

1299
01:19:00,103 --> 01:19:03,710
done, obviously with greater capacity. We have to spend more.

1300
01:19:03,729 --> 01:19:05,635
We have to build these capacities. That's what we're doing.

1301
01:19:06,155 --> 01:19:10,364
But in ways that recognize the regions in which we

1302
01:19:10,484 --> 01:19:14,934
operate. So for Canada, North America, obviously, up until now,

1303
01:19:14,975 --> 01:19:19,002
NATO has said, well, North America and... That's your problem.

1304
01:19:19,023 --> 01:19:23,932
Well, North American security, and particularly Arctic security, and remind

1305
01:19:24,012 --> 01:19:27,720
everybody that we've got 15% of the world's coastline, Arctic

1306
01:19:27,761 --> 01:19:31,930
security is not a flank. It's a front. With the

1307
01:19:31,989 --> 01:19:37,720
shift in the threats and Russia as a direct... adversary.

1308
01:19:37,841 --> 01:19:41,529
Attention Canadians, you are being drawn into this. Attention Canadians,

1309
01:19:41,568 --> 01:19:46,038
you're about to be hoodwinked. So spending there and coordinating,

1310
01:19:46,378 --> 01:19:50,447
not just Canada, but Canada, the Nordics, Canada, Germany, Canada,

1311
01:19:50,487 --> 01:19:54,774
France, Canada, the Baltics, that crest. Canada, Germany? Is Canada

1312
01:19:54,835 --> 01:19:58,470
near Germany? John, let me check. Canada? Germany? Let me

1313
01:19:58,532 --> 01:20:00,009
look. Take a look.

1314
01:20:00,060 --> 01:20:03,542
Got your window. For NATO. So that's where the discussion

1315
01:20:03,742 --> 01:20:06,904
in our judgment needs to go. And that is where

1316
01:20:08,025 --> 01:20:10,507
the planning is going. Now, the planning is going there.

1317
01:20:10,587 --> 01:20:13,088
So to understand what is going on, we bring in

1318
01:20:13,208 --> 01:20:17,031
our resident Canadian expert in all things Ukraine, my boy,

1319
01:20:17,051 --> 01:20:20,293
Andrew Rasoulis. We're joined now by Andrew Rasoulis. He's a

1320
01:20:20,393 --> 01:20:23,355
fellow with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and a retired

1321
01:20:23,375 --> 01:20:26,377
Department of National Defense official. Andrew, always great having you

1322
01:20:26,397 --> 01:20:31,441
on the show. Good afternoon, Diana. Canada's position in this

1323
01:20:31,601 --> 01:20:34,983
upcoming NATO summit, NATO allies, as we said, it's the

1324
01:20:35,103 --> 01:20:38,866
unspoken agenda to manage Trump and ensure that the U.S.

1325
01:20:38,986 --> 01:20:42,388
indeed stays in the alliance. Where do you think Canada's

1326
01:20:42,468 --> 01:20:46,531
role is in this specific context? Well, Canada's going to

1327
01:20:46,611 --> 01:20:49,974
be playing two roles. One is on the financial side,

1328
01:20:50,014 --> 01:20:53,536
which is very close to our prime minister's expertise. And

1329
01:20:53,576 --> 01:20:57,078
the other one will be, again, in light of Canada's

1330
01:20:57,118 --> 01:21:05,364
domestic constituency, sustained and long-term assistance to Ukraine, as Ukraine

1331
01:21:05,624 --> 01:21:08,586
and Russia are locked in a real tough battle to

1332
01:21:08,666 --> 01:21:11,368
see who's going to give way before there's any room

1333
01:21:11,488 --> 01:21:14,810
for a compromise solution or a win-win solution. But we're

1334
01:21:14,850 --> 01:21:16,732
not there yet, but that's where the Prime Minister will

1335
01:21:16,772 --> 01:21:19,934
be. Yes, so what is a win-win solution? Well, we

1336
01:21:19,994 --> 01:21:23,456
know that all wars are banker wars, and Mark Carney,

1337
01:21:23,636 --> 01:21:28,300
the... Prime Minister or President? Prime Minister. Prime Minister? Premier?

1338
01:21:28,420 --> 01:21:31,882
Prime Minister. Prime Minister or Premier? Prime Minister. No, he's

1339
01:21:31,922 --> 01:21:36,946
not the premier. He's the prime minister. Hey, that's why

1340
01:21:36,986 --> 01:21:40,168
there's two of us. The prime minister of Canada is

1341
01:21:40,728 --> 01:21:45,471
an actual banker's banker. He ran the... The Bank of

1342
01:21:45,531 --> 01:21:48,533
England is a central banker. You have a banker running

1343
01:21:48,573 --> 01:21:51,355
the show. A banker loves to run the war. And

1344
01:21:51,455 --> 01:21:54,638
for him, it's always win-win. Are we any closer to

1345
01:21:54,758 --> 01:21:58,060
a potential deal there than we were in the last

1346
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,902
few years? Well, I believe we are. The thing is

1347
01:22:01,002 --> 01:22:06,446
that this war is existential for Russian interests and Ukrainian

1348
01:22:06,566 --> 01:22:10,829
interests, which is why it's taking so long and so

1349
01:22:10,889 --> 01:22:15,492
many casualties and so much effort and suffering can come

1350
01:22:15,532 --> 01:22:18,074
to a point, which they're not there yet, where they

1351
01:22:18,134 --> 01:22:21,796
can make what we need in diplomacy is a win-win

1352
01:22:21,936 --> 01:22:25,379
solution. That is some kind of compromises. Now for the

1353
01:22:25,379 --> 01:22:27,500
Russians, as we know in your report, you just gave

1354
01:22:27,580 --> 01:22:33,724
it, that Donbass, the fortress belt, is fundamental for Russia.

1355
01:22:34,345 --> 01:22:39,548
And it's equally fundamental for Ukraine. So they need to

1356
01:22:39,608 --> 01:22:45,072
find a way of getting over that one of a

1357
01:22:45,112 --> 01:22:49,815
compromise that allows both sides to essentially declare victory. Now,

1358
01:22:49,975 --> 01:22:52,397
how do we do that? We need money. And we

1359
01:22:52,477 --> 01:22:54,839
already took the Russian money, and we gave that to

1360
01:22:54,839 --> 01:22:58,261
Ukraine. We need more money. Where could we get some

1361
01:22:58,321 --> 01:23:01,843
more money? I'm thinking we could get that from the

1362
01:23:01,863 --> 01:23:04,645
Canadian citizens. Let's talk a little bit about this $80

1363
01:23:04,825 --> 01:23:10,369
billion military aid package. Canada will be participating in it.

1364
01:23:10,429 --> 01:23:13,952
That will be likely going towards Ukraine. How important is

1365
01:23:14,032 --> 01:23:17,534
this and what do you think? What? Yeah, this is

1366
01:23:17,834 --> 01:23:23,058
the defense bank. set up, announced by Canada and NATO.

1367
01:23:23,658 --> 01:23:28,822
No one talked about that. the Canadian people will be

1368
01:23:29,142 --> 01:23:31,063
footing the bill, or at least backing it, we'll hear

1369
01:23:31,123 --> 01:23:35,346
that in the next clip, of $80 billion. Now, it's

1370
01:23:35,406 --> 01:23:39,309
unclear if that's U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, because then

1371
01:23:39,389 --> 01:23:41,270
it's not such a big deal. But if it's U.S.

1372
01:23:41,370 --> 01:23:43,832
dollars... It would still be $60 billion. It's a lot

1373
01:23:43,892 --> 01:23:46,854
of money. It's allocated for. Well, it's allocated to support

1374
01:23:47,034 --> 01:23:53,419
Ukraine's strategic defense. And right now, Ukraine's strategic defense can

1375
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:57,962
be broken down into two key component parts. One, maintain

1376
01:23:58,462 --> 01:24:02,605
an active defense along the 1,000 kilometers and extract a

1377
01:24:02,725 --> 01:24:07,008
greater proportion of casualties of Russian troops compared to Ukrainian

1378
01:24:07,068 --> 01:24:12,131
troops, thereby exhausting Russia's ability to find replacements. That's number

1379
01:24:12,271 --> 01:24:16,694
one for Ukraine. Number two is keep bombarding Russia in

1380
01:24:16,795 --> 01:24:21,137
terms of its interior economy, particularly the gas and the

1381
01:24:21,318 --> 01:24:28,282
oil production facilities, the Russian people. And so by so

1382
01:24:28,402 --> 01:24:32,845
doing, they hope to wear down political support in Russia

1383
01:24:33,326 --> 01:24:36,808
for the war, which still generally is above 50% in

1384
01:24:36,928 --> 01:24:41,591
favor of fighting and winning against Ukraine. So there's a

1385
01:24:41,651 --> 01:24:44,033
way to go on that one. But there are lineups

1386
01:24:44,093 --> 01:24:46,715
of gas stations and a deal would be welcome. But

1387
01:24:46,715 --> 01:24:49,697
again, Russia cannot be seen to be losing. And we

1388
01:24:49,797 --> 01:24:53,359
have seen those attacks within Russia, indeed attacks on the

1389
01:24:53,399 --> 01:24:56,241
city of Moscow. That's something that Russia has not seen

1390
01:24:57,402 --> 01:25:00,184
in decades and decades. I am telling you now, Canadian

1391
01:25:00,284 --> 01:25:05,127
citizens. Our northern neighbors. We do love you. We really

1392
01:25:05,127 --> 01:25:08,130
do want to listen to this show, at least. You're

1393
01:25:08,190 --> 01:25:10,911
on the hook for this. And the big boom, why

1394
01:25:10,991 --> 01:25:14,094
wouldn't Moscow just blow up Canada? We could take out,

1395
01:25:14,094 --> 01:25:17,616
you know, but what's a spot we could take out

1396
01:25:17,736 --> 01:25:21,359
in Canada that would make sense? That would make sense.

1397
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:26,242
Yeah. for Russia. They're hitting their oil and gas stuff.

1398
01:25:26,302 --> 01:25:31,425
So where's the oil and gas? Yeah, but it's... A

1399
01:25:31,605 --> 01:25:34,608
couple of pipelines would probably make sense. Well, listen to

1400
01:25:34,668 --> 01:25:37,830
this deal that Canada is going to put together with

1401
01:25:37,870 --> 01:25:40,912
the banker's banker, Mark Carney. Let's talk a little bit

1402
01:25:40,972 --> 01:25:43,634
about back to sort of Canada's role. I mean, we

1403
01:25:43,714 --> 01:25:47,256
know that there's potential discussion of setting up a global

1404
01:25:47,376 --> 01:25:51,719
defense bank. We know that, you know, Carney is coming

1405
01:25:51,799 --> 01:25:55,021
into this meeting after that Davos speech about the importance

1406
01:25:55,142 --> 01:25:58,264
of middle powers. Talk to us about the global defense

1407
01:25:58,384 --> 01:26:16,636
bank. What would this look like? What potential leadership role

1408
01:26:17,577 --> 01:26:33,908
could Canada have within it? money, which then allows the

1409
01:26:33,988 --> 01:26:36,870
bank, which would be based in Canada, that's already been

1410
01:26:36,910 --> 01:26:39,892
decided, we don't know which city, and then they would

1411
01:26:39,952 --> 01:26:45,356
give cheap or inexpensive loans to certain countries that need

1412
01:26:45,416 --> 01:26:48,558
to make equipment purchases and so on. So it's kind

1413
01:26:48,618 --> 01:26:51,160
of like, as I say, a World Bank that makes

1414
01:26:51,260 --> 01:26:54,882
procurement easier, but you need to have a core funding

1415
01:26:54,942 --> 01:26:57,764
base for that, and that's where they have not crossed

1416
01:26:57,824 --> 01:27:00,426
the line yet. There's not enough people. There are some

1417
01:27:00,686 --> 01:27:03,768
countries, have signed up, but the numbers, the critical mass

1418
01:27:03,828 --> 01:27:06,330
has not yet been reached, and the Prime Minister is

1419
01:27:06,410 --> 01:27:09,332
working very hard at doing that. And you know, I

1420
01:27:09,472 --> 01:27:14,416
read in these, like, conservative treehouse. of these horrible Lindsey

1421
01:27:14,516 --> 01:27:18,378
Graham and all these senators, they're going over to Ankara.

1422
01:27:18,438 --> 01:27:21,701
What are they doing there, the warmongers? They're sales guys.

1423
01:27:22,121 --> 01:27:25,303
They see $90 billion worth that Canada is going to

1424
01:27:25,363 --> 01:27:27,905
spend on defense, and Lindsey Graham wants it to come

1425
01:27:27,945 --> 01:27:31,807
to Boeing in South Carolina. This is what this is

1426
01:27:31,887 --> 01:27:35,230
about. A boot. Oh, yeah. All that money's coming down

1427
01:27:35,290 --> 01:27:39,993
here. It's coming to us. Yeah. Everyone's collecting. it's, I

1428
01:27:40,053 --> 01:27:43,435
mean, this is when you have a... We have a

1429
01:27:43,936 --> 01:27:48,979
crappy education system. But our media isn't quite that bad.

1430
01:27:49,219 --> 01:27:51,481
I mean, is anyone in Canada up in arms about

1431
01:27:51,521 --> 01:27:55,424
this? I think they should be. They should be. They

1432
01:27:55,524 --> 01:28:00,047
should be. It's just like, wow. Wow. I mean, I

1433
01:28:00,107 --> 01:28:01,988
don't want to change the topic, but since we're talking

1434
01:28:01,988 --> 01:28:04,810
about Canada. Sure. Talking about being up in arms, I

1435
01:28:04,890 --> 01:28:08,072
think that this clip I have, which is about their

1436
01:28:08,292 --> 01:28:13,816
death cult going on. The mage program. Yeah, this is

1437
01:28:14,256 --> 01:28:17,839
one of the, I think, one of the representatives in,

1438
01:28:18,119 --> 01:28:21,261
although they don't have meetings anymore, it turns out that

1439
01:28:21,301 --> 01:28:24,003
Carney's just calling all the shots and there's no legislation

1440
01:28:24,083 --> 01:28:26,645
going on at all. I want to draw attention. Sorry.

1441
01:28:27,425 --> 01:28:30,968
But this is a bit clip play. I want to

1442
01:28:30,968 --> 01:28:34,090
draw attention to three concerns about the widening scope of

1443
01:28:34,210 --> 01:28:37,472
euthanasia in Canada. These are not concerns from the fringes,

1444
01:28:37,552 --> 01:28:40,434
but statements from a member of a provincial medical college,

1445
01:28:40,875 --> 01:28:44,197
recommendations before Parliament, and the reality of maid right now

1446
01:28:44,297 --> 01:28:47,239
in Canada. And most Canadians are not yet aware of

1447
01:28:47,259 --> 01:28:50,881
the extent of the horror. The first concern is about

1448
01:28:50,881 --> 01:28:54,064
a statement regarding infants. A member of the Quebec College

1449
01:28:54,124 --> 01:28:56,665
of Physicians has formally stated that MAID may be an

1450
01:28:56,685 --> 01:28:59,447
appropriate treatment for babies from birth to one year of

1451
01:28:59,527 --> 01:29:02,930
age who come into the world with severe deformities and

1452
01:29:03,390 --> 01:29:07,293
very serious syndromes, and that parents should have the opportunity

1453
01:29:07,393 --> 01:29:11,355
to obtain this care for their infant. Canadian law currently

1454
01:29:11,395 --> 01:29:15,298
permits the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment for critically ill newborns.

1455
01:29:16,419 --> 01:29:19,801
This medical practitioner's proposal goes further. He calls for the

1456
01:29:19,821 --> 01:29:24,104
calculated killing of an infant. These are patients, babies, who

1457
01:29:24,144 --> 01:29:27,847
cannot speak, cannot consent, and cannot ask for help. If

1458
01:29:27,907 --> 01:29:30,448
we cannot draw the line here, I'm not sure where

1459
01:29:30,508 --> 01:29:33,650
medical professionals imagine the line to be. The second concern

1460
01:29:33,731 --> 01:29:36,753
is a proposal regarding mature minors. A report by the

1461
01:29:36,813 --> 01:29:42,136
Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, AMAD, has

1462
01:29:42,216 --> 01:29:48,261
recommended extending maid to children parental consent described as optional.

1463
01:29:48,641 --> 01:29:51,923
A physician, not a child's parent, would determine whether a

1464
01:29:52,003 --> 01:29:54,204
child was able to consent to his own death. In

1465
01:29:54,245 --> 01:29:57,487
this discussion, made advocates showed their true colors and defended

1466
01:29:57,527 --> 01:29:59,988
the rationale for euthanizing minors without consent.

1467
01:30:00,028 --> 01:30:04,282
insulting their parents. Yet 43 expert witnesses called this recommendation

1468
01:30:04,342 --> 01:30:07,109
deeply flawed. I might call it something stronger. The third

1469
01:30:07,168 --> 01:30:11,139
concern is euthanasia on demand. Ontario's chief coroner has documented

1470
01:30:11,219 --> 01:30:14,927
maid deaths driven not by illness, but by poverty, loneliness,

1471
01:30:15,309 --> 01:30:18,115
and lack of housing. Approximately half of those who died

1472
01:30:18,155 --> 01:30:21,841
by maid in 2024 Reporter requesting it because they felt

1473
01:30:21,860 --> 01:30:26,480
like a burden to their families, friends, or caregivers. These

1474
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,873
are not necessarily people dying of terminal illness. These are

1475
01:30:29,913 --> 01:30:32,925
Canadians failed by a system that chose to offer them

1476
01:30:32,965 --> 01:30:36,318
lethal injection rather than the support and hope they needed

1477
01:30:36,337 --> 01:30:39,408
to live. Okay, now you really bummed me out. I

1478
01:30:39,429 --> 01:30:41,706
was having a good time. I was having a pretty

1479
01:30:41,747 --> 01:30:45,052
good time on the show. I mean, this is, this

1480
01:30:45,114 --> 01:30:50,796
is... How about just... Try Jesus for one second. Meow.

1481
01:30:51,311 --> 01:30:53,705
At least before you go to that extreme. They're doing

1482
01:30:53,745 --> 01:30:57,527
that here too. I believe it's 12-year-olds up to 12

1483
01:30:57,587 --> 01:31:02,383
without. or starting at 12 without parental consent. can euthanize

1484
01:31:02,424 --> 01:31:06,031
themselves. If you're depressed or not having a good day.

1485
01:31:06,051 --> 01:31:08,055
I don't know that to be true. In the Netherlands?

1486
01:31:08,255 --> 01:31:10,559
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's true. Oh, there. When you

1487
01:31:10,599 --> 01:31:13,084
say that, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm here. I'm in Amsterdam.

1488
01:31:13,144 --> 01:31:15,749
I'm sorry. Yeah, I know. Sorry, I can't. No, it's

1489
01:31:15,769 --> 01:31:18,354
okay. It sounds like you're right next door. I know.

1490
01:31:19,175 --> 01:31:22,424
So they're doing that in Holland, too. Yes. Yes. Well,

1491
01:31:22,444 --> 01:31:26,400
that's no good. No, it's horrible. This is like a

1492
01:31:27,304 --> 01:31:34,887
suicide cult. It... I don't even have words for it.

1493
01:31:35,531 --> 01:31:38,426
It's like, this seems like there's so many more options

1494
01:31:39,150 --> 01:31:41,622
before you, I mean, how do you get. into that

1495
01:31:41,742 --> 01:31:49,169
mental state a sock hop thank you other than The

1496
01:31:49,249 --> 01:31:53,215
whole culture is telling you it's okay to do this.

1497
01:31:54,403 --> 01:32:00,570
With. guests incessant media support. The media should be pushing

1498
01:32:00,651 --> 01:32:03,161
back on this you would hope the media is totally

1499
01:32:03,222 --> 01:32:07,569
irresponsible you would hope you would hope I mean, they're

1500
01:32:07,589 --> 01:32:12,450
just a bunch of ghouls that have no feelings whatsoever

1501
01:32:12,510 --> 01:32:19,745
for their fellow man. guess. It actually kind of disturbs

1502
01:32:19,785 --> 01:32:24,106
me. Well, it should. Yeah, it's not okay. I've been

1503
01:32:24,126 --> 01:32:26,391
sitting on this clip forever. Yes, well, I've been sitting

1504
01:32:26,471 --> 01:32:30,140
on one of these clips for several weeks because every

1505
01:32:31,002 --> 01:32:33,588
show comes up in my prep and it doesn't come

1506
01:32:33,709 --> 01:32:38,155
up. And it's about time we talk about... Cyclospora. I

1507
01:32:38,196 --> 01:32:40,577
mean, we just gotta talk about it. Health officials are

1508
01:32:40,597 --> 01:32:45,248
monitoring- of a parasitic infection in several states including Virginia

1509
01:32:45,288 --> 01:33:02,903
and North Carolina. veggies or produce. And here's one of

1510
01:33:02,943 --> 01:33:07,870
the symptoms. Symptoms can be pretty debilitating, including that explosive

1511
01:33:07,910 --> 01:33:11,776
diarrhea. What's particularly scary about this parasite, cyclospora, is you

1512
01:33:11,836 --> 01:33:15,201
can't see or smell or taste it. So if water,

1513
01:33:15,381 --> 01:33:18,646
fruits, or vegetables are contaminated, you're not actually going to

1514
01:33:18,746 --> 01:33:23,114
know. Now to protect yourself from infection, thoroughly wash your

1515
01:33:23,194 --> 01:33:26,170
produce, even if it says that it's been pre-washed, and

1516
01:33:26,251 --> 01:33:30,907
do not drink water when swimming. So the key line

1517
01:33:30,947 --> 01:33:36,289
here is explosive diarrhea. And, you know, the jokes almost

1518
01:33:36,309 --> 01:33:39,305
write themselves, but no one's doing it. You know, I

1519
01:33:39,488 --> 01:33:42,988
mean... I don't, again, we should be running some of

1520
01:33:43,028 --> 01:33:45,798
these news organizations. I mean, CDC has issued a code

1521
01:33:45,818 --> 01:33:49,717
brown. I mean, you could do anything you want. CDC

1522
01:33:49,757 --> 01:33:54,335
has issued a travel advisory with its own exit strategy.

1523
01:33:54,395 --> 01:33:58,631
Yeah, you're right there. Yeah, you're right. Wash your produce,

1524
01:33:58,672 --> 01:34:02,907
people, or at least clear your calendar. I mean, come

1525
01:34:03,171 --> 01:34:06,738
on. What is this? Has this ever existed in our

1526
01:34:06,778 --> 01:34:12,722
lives before? The cyclospora with explosive diarrhea? And we'd have

1527
01:34:12,762 --> 01:34:14,832
to do some research to find out what the hell

1528
01:34:14,852 --> 01:34:16,480
is going on here. I mean, explosive is the part.

1529
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:18,429
I mean, it could be something created in a lab

1530
01:34:18,489 --> 01:34:22,260
for all we know. Well, it could be. It's a

1531
01:34:22,341 --> 01:34:30,206
nasty one. Explosive diarrhea. I mean... Yeah, and debilitating, I

1532
01:34:30,246 --> 01:34:33,283
guess, is the key word. Well, no kidding. It's just

1533
01:34:33,343 --> 01:34:38,445
like, wow, okay. Explosive diarrhea. This is around this sort

1534
01:34:38,505 --> 01:34:43,304
of thing. It's time for the whatever girls, the forever

1535
01:34:43,345 --> 01:34:46,702
girls, whatever. I don't have any forever girls today. Okay.

1536
01:34:47,286 --> 01:34:49,780
All right. But I do have a COVID vaccine. story

1537
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,233
in Australia that McCullough gives that I thought was worth

1538
01:34:53,614 --> 01:34:57,127
repeating. In fact, AI could be used to study the

1539
01:34:57,328 --> 01:35:01,609
conformational changes in the spike protein. protein when it folds

1540
01:35:02,050 --> 01:35:06,517
it exposes different regions to produce antibodies so an opportunity

1541
01:35:07,078 --> 01:35:11,665
for misadventure was shown in a Australian vaccine you know

1542
01:35:11,705 --> 01:35:16,253
one of the early Australian spike protein antigenic vaccines exposed

1543
01:35:16,293 --> 01:35:19,237
the region of the spike protein that has homology with

1544
01:35:19,598 --> 01:35:24,387
HIV And all of the Australian human subjects turned HIV

1545
01:35:24,467 --> 01:35:29,168
positive after getting their experimental COVID vaccine. That was back

1546
01:35:29,228 --> 01:35:35,036
in 2021. So this is astounding that the COVID vaccine,

1547
01:35:35,538 --> 01:35:38,733
you know, campaign and the empire that it's become has

1548
01:35:38,813 --> 01:35:42,216
had so many misses. steps and has produced, you know,

1549
01:35:42,296 --> 01:35:49,350
commercially grossly unsafe and completely ineffective vaccines. Yeah. I think

1550
01:35:49,392 --> 01:35:52,517
he's just... talking to the wind, and I don't see

1551
01:35:52,698 --> 01:35:57,320
anything ever coming. But there is, I think, another serious

1552
01:35:57,380 --> 01:36:01,289
side effect of the COVID vaccines. that is just now

1553
01:36:01,389 --> 01:36:03,292
starting to play out and it always happens when it

1554
01:36:03,332 --> 01:36:08,220
happens to a celebrity t-g-a a journalist and former today

1555
01:36:08,260 --> 01:36:11,325
anchor katie kirk is revealing a recent health scare that

1556
01:36:11,405 --> 01:36:14,890
caused her to experience short-term memory loss she wrote about

1557
01:36:14,951 --> 01:36:17,234
it on her sub stack calling it quote the day

1558
01:36:17,274 --> 01:36:20,419
i'll never remember in it she describes a recent since

1559
01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:23,245
Saturday, a couple Saturdays ago when she was in Colorado

1560
01:36:23,285 --> 01:36:26,652
at the Aspen Ideas Festival. I actually was there as

1561
01:36:26,712 --> 01:36:29,778
well, had a nice conversation with Katie the night before

1562
01:36:29,878 --> 01:36:32,343
all of this. Katie says it was a Saturday morning.

1563
01:36:32,383 --> 01:36:34,347
She went to grab a hot dog with her husband

1564
01:36:34,427 --> 01:36:36,832
at the festival before she was set to moderate two

1565
01:36:36,932 --> 01:36:41,481
panels. But that's the last thing I remember. Katie couldn't

1566
01:36:41,561 --> 01:36:43,865
remember the month or the year, and when she was

1567
01:36:43,965 --> 01:36:46,749
asked who was president, she believed it was Joe Biden

1568
01:36:46,910 --> 01:36:50,035
and it was 2024. Katie says the memory loss only

1569
01:36:50,055 --> 01:36:52,759
lasted for that period of the day. She was later

1570
01:36:52,819 --> 01:36:57,387
diagnosed with something called transient global amnesia. So this, so...

1571
01:36:57,839 --> 01:37:00,919
When I first heard this, I'm like, well, you know.

1572
01:37:01,823 --> 01:37:06,162
We all have our moments. She's 69. Well, she's also

1573
01:37:06,182 --> 01:37:10,491
a podcaster now. Oh. And this is good publicity. Well...

1574
01:37:10,943 --> 01:37:13,144
You would think. But then when I heard the same

1575
01:37:13,446 --> 01:37:16,965
news model. who I am sure is also vaxxed to

1576
01:37:17,006 --> 01:37:21,553
the hilt. Sorry for those who have... accepted the vaccine

1577
01:37:21,593 --> 01:37:24,606
into their lives. She's had it too. And here to

1578
01:37:24,667 --> 01:37:27,052
help us understand a little more about that diagnosis is

1579
01:37:27,212 --> 01:37:31,180
NBC News medical reporter Dr. Akshay Sayal. Dr. Sayal, it

1580
01:37:31,220 --> 01:37:34,367
does sound pretty frightening. And at first, Katie's husband and

1581
01:37:34,427 --> 01:37:36,652
doctors thought that she might have had a stroke. They

1582
01:37:36,692 --> 01:37:40,219
said initiate stroke protocol in the hospital. But she didn't.

1583
01:37:40,199 --> 01:37:44,528
And what is transient global amnesia? How common or rare

1584
01:37:44,628 --> 01:37:47,735
is it? It can be a really frightening condition, Kate,

1585
01:37:47,755 --> 01:37:50,079
but fortunately it is benign. For those who haven't heard

1586
01:37:50,140 --> 01:37:53,406
about it, TGA, or transient global amnesia, affects about 5

1587
01:37:53,446 --> 01:37:56,733
to 10 per 100,000 people every year. It sort of

1588
01:37:56,773 --> 01:37:59,519
consists of the sudden short-term memory loss and inability to

1589
01:37:59,499 --> 01:38:02,084
form new memories. So for example, you know, patients will

1590
01:38:02,124 --> 01:38:04,830
often say, you know, could you repeat that? And they

1591
01:38:04,910 --> 01:38:07,134
almost don't remember asking the question and don't remember getting

1592
01:38:07,174 --> 01:38:08,938
the answer. So they tend to need to be to

1593
01:38:09,018 --> 01:38:11,623
repeat things over and over, unable to form those new

1594
01:38:11,683 --> 01:38:14,629
memories. And it typically resolves within hours, about six hours

1595
01:38:14,669 --> 01:38:17,114
or so, but definitely within 24 hours from onset. Do

1596
01:38:17,154 --> 01:38:20,100
we know what causes these episodes? And it can happen

1597
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,066
to anybody? It can happen to anyone, Christine. But the

1598
01:38:23,487 --> 01:38:25,431
biggest risk factor, the most people we see this in,

1599
01:38:25,451 --> 01:38:28,116
people age 50 to 70, it's about equally as common

1600
01:38:28,136 --> 01:38:30,641
in between men and women. We tend to see equal

1601
01:38:30,681 --> 01:38:33,226
parts affected. But guys, those with a history of migraines,

1602
01:38:33,286 --> 01:38:36,132
about six times more likely to have this. And it's

1603
01:38:36,152 --> 01:38:37,795
a strong correlation there. Okay, so I'm going to put

1604
01:38:37,835 --> 01:38:42,901
my tinfoil hat on because Katie Couric... Specifically... talks about,

1605
01:38:43,242 --> 01:38:45,627
oh, I thought Joe Biden was my president. And this

1606
01:38:45,708 --> 01:38:48,774
news model, it happened to her during election night. It's

1607
01:38:48,814 --> 01:38:51,560
just, there's too many coincidences. Yeah, I have a history

1608
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,444
of migraines and I'm just going to tell you, this

1609
01:38:53,525 --> 01:38:56,772
actually happened to me. Really? 20 years ago, yes. Oh,

1610
01:38:56,812 --> 01:38:59,598
20 years ago. Oh, that doesn't count then. Okay, I'm

1611
01:38:59,618 --> 01:39:04,574
sorry, I didn't hear that. part. I don't know. I

1612
01:39:04,635 --> 01:39:09,445
think it's a possibility. Everything is a possibility. I thought

1613
01:39:09,485 --> 01:39:11,933
she had it during election night 20 years ago. But

1614
01:39:11,953 --> 01:39:13,980
20 years ago. No, no, that's no good. That's no

1615
01:39:14,020 --> 01:39:17,150
good. Does she remember that? That it was 20 years

1616
01:39:17,210 --> 01:39:19,919
ago? That's a pretty good memory. It doesn't matter because...

1617
01:39:19,899 --> 01:39:24,008
because we have other issues which could be vax-induced. Infertility

1618
01:39:24,068 --> 01:39:27,174
has been rising over the last few years, especially among

1619
01:39:27,214 --> 01:39:31,543
women aged 35 to 49 years, according to new research

1620
01:39:31,744 --> 01:39:35,962
published in The Lancet. Cases of infertility among women in

1621
01:39:36,002 --> 01:39:40,300
this age group will approach 80 million by 2036. a

1622
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:44,673
sharp rise from around 53 million in 2023, with the

1623
01:39:44,713 --> 01:39:49,824
sharpest increase expected among women aged 35 to 39. The

1624
01:39:49,984 --> 01:39:53,578
authors note this is mainly driven by age-related declines in

1625
01:39:53,618 --> 01:39:57,673
eggs reserve and their ability to fertilize which reduce fecundity,

1626
01:39:57,693 --> 01:40:00,009
increase miscarriage risk, And the lower.

1627
01:40:00,039 --> 01:40:04,903
the success rate of assisted reproductive technologies. Analyzing data from

1628
01:40:04,943 --> 01:40:08,826
the global burden of disease. You can't understand it? No,

1629
01:40:08,966 --> 01:40:11,848
the guy's a mumbler and he's got some weird accent

1630
01:40:11,868 --> 01:40:14,009
I can't pick up on. Well, this is always your

1631
01:40:14,069 --> 01:40:17,331
own news. I don't know what he's talking about. that

1632
01:40:17,832 --> 01:40:23,876
uh 80 million women will be infertile in their fertile

1633
01:40:23,956 --> 01:40:26,838
years over the next five years. It's huge. - Oh,

1634
01:40:26,938 --> 01:40:32,241
there's vax issues. - Huge, huge infertility. Epidemic, I would

1635
01:40:32,261 --> 01:40:36,985
say. They got what they wanted. They always wanted to

1636
01:40:37,005 --> 01:40:40,907
kill us off. Yeah, well, you know, the population, worldwide

1637
01:40:40,987 --> 01:40:45,170
white population is only 8%. Well, they want to kill

1638
01:40:45,230 --> 01:40:47,072
everybody. I don't think it's a color thing. They just

1639
01:40:47,072 --> 01:40:49,033
want to kill everybody off. Yeah, but the whites have

1640
01:40:49,053 --> 01:40:53,876
got to go. Have you... Hey, wait a minute. Let

1641
01:40:53,876 --> 01:40:55,677
me call the boys from the Patriot Front. Oh, wait,

1642
01:40:55,697 --> 01:40:59,960
that's the wrong guys. That's the wrong guys. So... I

1643
01:41:00,020 --> 01:41:02,042
do have an Ebola clip, but I also want to

1644
01:41:02,082 --> 01:41:04,403
ask you about doing it. It's not quite an Ask

1645
01:41:04,564 --> 01:41:08,786
Adam, but... What are the two largest cities in the

1646
01:41:08,826 --> 01:41:12,969
world, do you think? The two largest cities in the

1647
01:41:13,029 --> 01:41:16,492
world. Yeah, in terms of population. It's got to be

1648
01:41:16,552 --> 01:41:20,014
something in South America. Is it Brazil? My understanding is

1649
01:41:20,034 --> 01:41:22,756
the largest city is Mexico City at 35 million. It's

1650
01:41:22,776 --> 01:41:26,038
pretty big. Yeah, it's pretty big. What do you think

1651
01:41:26,098 --> 01:41:35,044
the second largest city in the world is? world. See,

1652
01:41:35,184 --> 01:41:37,446
this is where I'd be like, Buenos Aires? I don't

1653
01:41:37,466 --> 01:41:41,208
know why I'm saying that. No, it's actually Dhaka, Bangladesh.

1654
01:41:42,049 --> 01:41:45,752
Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah. And here's a clip about

1655
01:41:45,772 --> 01:41:49,094
the pollution problem they got, which it's a throwaway, but

1656
01:41:49,154 --> 01:41:52,296
I think it's worth knowing about. For centuries, rivers surrounding

1657
01:41:52,376 --> 01:41:55,979
Bangladesh's capital were its lifelines, but the waterways on... Talk

1658
01:41:56,059 --> 01:42:00,081
about an accent. ...now choking with industrial waste, sewage, and

1659
01:42:00,221 --> 01:42:03,924
rubbish. Millions of dollars have been spent on restoration projects,

1660
01:42:03,984 --> 01:42:07,506
but the pollution, is threatening public health, the environment, and

1661
01:42:07,546 --> 01:42:11,149
the economy. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Didn't we

1662
01:42:11,229 --> 01:42:15,312
have a big, back in the 60s, some kind of

1663
01:42:15,372 --> 01:42:20,555
music thing for Bangladesh? Yeah. Wasn't the Beatles involved in

1664
01:42:20,615 --> 01:42:23,837
that? Everybody was involved. I don't remember what the purpose

1665
01:42:23,837 --> 01:42:26,179
of it was. Why does this stuff never work? It's

1666
01:42:26,259 --> 01:42:28,981
all just, it's just to sell records, it turns out.

1667
01:42:29,802 --> 01:42:31,843
USA for Africa. Well, you know that. We are the

1668
01:42:31,923 --> 01:42:38,728
world. Band-Aid. Bono. Anything Bono does. Farm-aid. Farm-aid. It's time

1669
01:42:38,748 --> 01:42:42,210
for H. Howdry reports now from Dhaka. Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka,

1670
01:42:42,310 --> 01:42:45,512
is the world's second largest city, home to nearly 37

1671
01:42:45,612 --> 01:42:49,435
million people. As the megacity expands. A fight to keep

1672
01:42:49,515 --> 01:42:52,897
it livable is unfolding along the four rivers that once

1673
01:42:52,977 --> 01:42:56,500
sustained it. Abu Said says his family has farmed this

1674
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,822
land on the outskirts of Dhaka for generations, but he

1675
01:42:59,882 --> 01:43:02,724
doesn't know how much longer he'll be able to continue.

1676
01:43:04,785 --> 01:43:08,608
The polluted river is damaging our paddies. Often our crops

1677
01:43:08,708 --> 01:43:12,030
are ruined when the water seeps into our land. It's

1678
01:43:12,130 --> 01:43:20,997
affecting the entire environment. its capacity to manage wastewater and

1679
01:43:21,077 --> 01:43:27,101
pollution. It's contaminating farmland, destroying fisheries and worsening flooding, as

1680
01:43:27,161 --> 01:43:30,163
well as threatening the health of millions of people living

1681
01:43:30,223 --> 01:43:35,426
on the riverbanks. The rivers around Dhaka have turned into

1682
01:43:35,506 --> 01:43:38,468
dumping grounds. All the waste and pollution end up here.

1683
01:43:38,889 --> 01:43:41,270
The water is black and there's still no sign of

1684
01:43:41,330 --> 01:43:44,653
it getting cleaner. For generations these rivers gave life to

1685
01:43:44,713 --> 01:43:49,316
Dhaka. Today it's carrying waste instead. and a stop at

1686
01:43:49,436 --> 01:43:53,399
its sources, the city's lifeline may soon be beyond saving.

1687
01:43:54,299 --> 01:43:57,762
The World Bank says around 7,000 factories discharge an estimated

1688
01:43:57,842 --> 01:44:02,825
2.4 billion litres of untreated industrial waste into waterways across

1689
01:44:02,925 --> 01:44:09,309
Greater Dhaka every day. Well, that's not great. And I'm

1690
01:44:09,430 --> 01:44:18,316
sad that none of our... carefully orchestrated. charity concerts and

1691
01:44:18,536 --> 01:44:24,380
record projects ever work. Jakarta is the world's biggest city

1692
01:44:24,440 --> 01:44:30,584
at 42 million. Hmm. So, Jakarta followed by. So, South

1693
01:44:30,644 --> 01:44:34,246
America's not even in the picture. Hold on, there's something

1694
01:44:34,266 --> 01:44:36,328
I want to play that's related to this. Let me

1695
01:44:36,408 --> 01:44:42,652
see if I can find this. Everyone's always complaining about

1696
01:44:42,732 --> 01:44:48,616
it. I had an H1B clip. Where does that go?

1697
01:44:52,159 --> 01:44:55,341
You know, they're going after H-1B now. Yeah, I know,

1698
01:44:55,381 --> 01:44:59,984
big time. Which everybody's complaining about. But I don't hear

1699
01:45:00,004 --> 01:45:03,066
anyone going, yeah, great, we're going after H-1B. Where did

1700
01:45:03,166 --> 01:45:10,131
it go? But it's all about the medical industry. That's

1701
01:45:10,211 --> 01:45:12,733
not it. Oh, I must have forgotten about it. I

1702
01:45:12,793 --> 01:45:16,255
don't know. But yeah, the Department of Justice is going

1703
01:45:16,415 --> 01:45:21,419
after H-1B fraud, specifically fraud. Why can't I find this?

1704
01:45:21,619 --> 01:45:23,520
What happened? Yeah, it was about time. Oh, here we

1705
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,101
go. I found it. Thanks for having me. Well, this

1706
01:45:25,181 --> 01:45:29,144
sounds very serious. This is, um... What's the guy's name?

1707
01:45:29,244 --> 01:45:31,886
I'll look his name up. Tell us about your investigation.

1708
01:45:31,926 --> 01:45:35,948
Are you saying that there is fraud and human trafficking

1709
01:45:36,209 --> 01:45:41,412
within the H-1B visa program? You're saying there's fraud in

1710
01:45:41,572 --> 01:45:45,815
the H-1B visa program? Program that is the Program Electronic

1711
01:45:45,915 --> 01:45:49,958
Review Management, or PERM system. Without a doubt, and we

1712
01:45:50,018 --> 01:45:52,079
are going to take an aggressive action, what we believe

1713
01:45:52,159 --> 01:45:55,582
is probably the most aggressive action against foreign labor fraud

1714
01:45:55,662 --> 01:45:59,805
by an inspector general of this administration. We've already started

1715
01:45:59,865 --> 01:46:03,307
to issue dozens of subpoenas. We are going to make

1716
01:46:03,367 --> 01:46:06,209
sure that we track down every lead. We have whistleblowers

1717
01:46:06,609 --> 01:46:10,252
talking about some of the biggest companies like Cognizant, who

1718
01:46:10,332 --> 01:46:14,835
have been sort of, you know, in chatter of issues

1719
01:46:14,875 --> 01:46:19,758
with PERM and H-1B visas. side by side with the

1720
01:46:19,798 --> 01:46:24,081
president and vice president's fraud task force to exhaust every

1721
01:46:24,121 --> 01:46:26,023
lead. I'm going to take this exactly like I did

1722
01:46:26,063 --> 01:46:28,024
when I was an NYPD detective and I'm going to

1723
01:46:28,044 --> 01:46:31,286
give and make sure my investigators and auditors have every

1724
01:46:31,366 --> 01:46:35,509
resource necessary in order to conduct this investigation for the

1725
01:46:35,529 --> 01:46:40,392
American people. And quite frankly, the fraud task force has

1726
01:46:40,452 --> 01:46:43,414
been very clear. Vice President Vance has said there's no

1727
01:46:43,535 --> 01:46:49,038
fraud too small, there's no fraud too large. Fraud is

1728
01:46:49,178 --> 01:46:52,701
fueling violent crime. Much of the visa and the human

1729
01:46:52,761 --> 01:46:55,763
trafficking that we see when it comes to this foreign

1730
01:46:55,823 --> 01:46:59,686
labor is tied to cartels, is tied to transnational gangs.

1731
01:47:00,366 --> 01:47:02,948
And this is the work that we should be doing,

1732
01:47:03,008 --> 01:47:05,570
not only to make America safe again, but to make

1733
01:47:05,650 --> 01:47:09,432
America more affordable again. Yeah. So they start with the

1734
01:47:09,432 --> 01:47:12,234
medical stuff. Maybe they'll get to the tech sector eventually.

1735
01:47:12,454 --> 01:47:13,695
Did you want to do Ebola still? I always have

1736
01:47:13,695 --> 01:47:15,276
trouble getting to the tech sector. Did you want to

1737
01:47:15,276 --> 01:47:17,978
do Ebola still? Because I have something else. Yeah, let's

1738
01:47:17,978 --> 01:47:49,239
play the Ebola. to keep up on it. since the

1739
01:47:49,339 --> 01:47:52,462
outbreak was declared on May 15th. They said they're on

1740
01:47:52,562 --> 01:47:56,384
strike to protest their working conditions. Local media reported that

1741
01:47:56,444 --> 01:48:00,247
several health care workers protested on Monday, burning tires outside

1742
01:48:00,307 --> 01:48:03,649
a hospital in Bunia, capital of the hardest-hit province in

1743
01:48:03,709 --> 01:48:07,552
this outbreak. The strike comes as enrollment for clinical trials

1744
01:48:07,612 --> 01:48:10,614
have begun in Congo for two treatments that may help

1745
01:48:10,754 --> 01:48:14,817
treat the Bundabugio strain. Do they have a vaccine or

1746
01:48:14,877 --> 01:48:17,479
what is this treatment? Is there any information? I have

1747
01:48:17,539 --> 01:48:20,561
no idea. They never say. You'd think they'd say. I

1748
01:48:20,641 --> 01:48:23,222
want to sneak in a little bit of AI stuff

1749
01:48:23,303 --> 01:48:25,424
here because I have my own boots on the ground.

1750
01:48:25,464 --> 01:48:28,726
I consider myself to be somewhat of an artificial intelligence

1751
01:48:29,047 --> 01:48:34,710
LLM user. to some degree. Yes, I think you qualify.

1752
01:48:35,311 --> 01:48:37,933
You have standing now. I have standing now, yes. I've

1753
01:48:37,973 --> 01:48:40,294
been working on this for a year and a half.

1754
01:48:40,374 --> 01:48:43,676
But first, the obvious, what is happening. You spend a

1755
01:48:43,676 --> 01:48:48,560
lot of time talking to yourself. In the process. Only

1756
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:52,663
you hear that. After the show, like, come on, you

1757
01:48:52,923 --> 01:48:56,745
stupid, stupid robot. How come you're not? It's kind of

1758
01:48:57,106 --> 01:49:00,268
weird. And I continue to call it my robot because

1759
01:49:00,288 --> 01:49:02,529
that is the only way I can separate myself from

1760
01:49:02,609 --> 01:49:06,732
it continuously trying to make friendly with me. But here

1761
01:49:06,812 --> 01:49:09,374
is the obvious that was going to happen. The use

1762
01:49:09,454 --> 01:49:12,336
of Chinese AI models by American companies is starting to

1763
01:49:12,376 --> 01:49:16,019
gain traction as the performance gap to U.S. models narrows.

1764
01:49:16,419 --> 01:49:18,940
It comes as the cost of using frontier systems from

1765
01:49:18,961 --> 01:49:22,103
the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI continues to rise, while

1766
01:49:22,143 --> 01:49:26,185
Chinese rivals are significantly cheaper to use. Kai joins us

01:49:26,245 --> 01:49:28,227
with more. Kai, we keep on hearing about token maxing.

1768
01:49:28,227 --> 01:49:31,089
Can you stop this clip for a second? This term

1769
01:49:31,209 --> 01:49:36,412
that's cropped up, it's a Silicon Valley style term. I

1770
01:49:36,452 --> 01:49:38,654
don't know why, but I find it, I find it,

1771
01:49:38,894 --> 01:49:42,697
I don't like it, which is frontier systems. Yeah, frontier

1772
01:49:42,777 --> 01:49:45,258
model, frontier company. And they're always saying that. What it

1773
01:49:45,318 --> 01:49:49,021
means... It can correct me if I'm getting it wrong.

1774
01:49:49,441 --> 01:49:52,403
What it means is cutting edge. No. In other words...

1775
01:49:52,724 --> 01:49:56,466
No, I don't think so. It's the frontier of the

1776
01:49:56,526 --> 01:49:59,308
movement. It's the very edge of it. Are you sure?

1777
01:49:59,448 --> 01:49:59,988
Are you sure?

1778
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,942
I'm absolutely convinced this is what it means is cutting

1779
01:50:03,042 --> 01:50:06,024
edge. It would have been cutting edge. The term would

1780
01:50:06,044 --> 01:50:10,206
have been cutting edge 20 years ago, and it's morphed

1781
01:50:10,266 --> 01:50:12,828
into frontier. Do you mind if I ask the robot

1782
01:50:13,168 --> 01:50:18,492
about this? Go ahead. Robot, book of knowledge. What is

1783
01:50:18,552 --> 01:50:22,215
the meaning of frontier when used in the context of

1784
01:50:22,395 --> 01:50:30,440
frontier artificial intelligence large language models? Let's see. I just

1785
01:50:30,540 --> 01:50:39,566
crapped out. 404? Okay. Okay, I'll take your word for

1786
01:50:39,627 --> 01:50:42,628
it. It comes as the cost of using frontier systems

1787
01:50:42,709 --> 01:50:45,450
from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI continues to rise,

1788
01:50:45,851 --> 01:50:49,953
while Chinese rivals are significantly cheaper to use. Kai joins

1789
01:50:50,014 --> 01:50:51,815
us with more. Kai, we keep on hearing about token

1790
01:50:51,895 --> 01:50:54,977
maxing and how much it's costing American companies. The alternative

1791
01:50:54,997 --> 01:50:57,298
here is Chinese tech, and a lot of names are

1792
01:50:57,439 --> 01:50:59,860
using it. So what are you finding? Yeah, that's exactly

1793
01:50:59,920 --> 01:51:02,622
it. And there's two big reasons for this growing adoption

1794
01:51:02,782 --> 01:51:05,504
of Chinese AI models by U.S. companies. One of them

1795
01:51:05,524 --> 01:51:09,927
is capability, and the other one is cost. course. Another

1796
01:51:09,987 --> 01:51:15,691
thing that's bugging me. Yeah. Is the whole switcheroo with,

1797
01:51:15,911 --> 01:51:19,354
you know, paying for something and instead calling it tokens.

1798
01:51:19,774 --> 01:51:21,535
Like when you go to an arcade and you put

1799
01:51:21,595 --> 01:51:24,397
a dollar in. Well, hold on a second. You don't

1800
01:51:24,437 --> 01:51:28,280
understand what tokens are then. Oh, so there's no cost

1801
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:33,703
involved? They're free? No, but a token is every word,

1802
01:51:34,104 --> 01:51:37,826
every single word that is in the large language model

1803
01:51:38,106 --> 01:51:42,469
is called a token. And it is the way I

1804
01:51:42,549 --> 01:51:46,372
see it as a compressed. uh so turning a a

1805
01:51:47,012 --> 01:51:50,455
word into a token into one character it's not exactly

1806
01:51:50,495 --> 01:51:55,118
right but so um the amount of words you can

1807
01:51:55,358 --> 01:51:58,140
use within the context of a large language model, which

1808
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:01,402
is these days in the frontier models, up to a

1809
01:52:01,502 --> 01:52:05,745
million tokens. And so they've started, they use that because

1810
01:52:05,785 --> 01:52:10,388
that is the unit of compute that needs to be

1811
01:52:10,508 --> 01:52:15,152
processed for every query and answer that you put into

1812
01:52:15,212 --> 01:52:19,214
the model. So the token is... Then how does token

1813
01:52:19,354 --> 01:52:25,158
maxing cost money? Token, okay. So they are charging by

1814
01:52:25,298 --> 01:52:30,602
the token. That's what I said. Yeah, but you make

1815
01:52:30,662 --> 01:52:35,586
it sound like it's in a slot machine or you're

1816
01:52:35,766 --> 01:52:39,368
at the carnival. Why call it a token and not

1817
01:52:39,428 --> 01:52:43,151
a character? Well, because a token is a mathematical term

1818
01:52:43,411 --> 01:52:46,093
as well as the thing you put into the pinball

1819
01:52:46,153 --> 01:52:50,676
machine. It's a representation of something else. So a token

1820
01:52:50,756 --> 01:52:54,418
is a representation of money or it's a representation of

1821
01:52:54,959 --> 01:52:59,522
a word in this case. So it's all, it's. And

1822
01:52:59,562 --> 01:53:03,024
so token maxing was, hey, everybody, you got to use

1823
01:53:03,164 --> 01:53:05,466
all the tokens we give you because AI is going

1824
01:53:05,486 --> 01:53:08,028
to improve your life. And then everyone ran out of

1825
01:53:08,088 --> 01:53:11,650
tokens within four months on their yearly budget and it

1826
01:53:11,850 --> 01:53:14,452
wound up costing them $14 million. Oh, well, that didn't

1827
01:53:14,512 --> 01:53:19,255
work. Token maxing was another Silicon Valley term. So you're

1828
01:53:19,315 --> 01:53:22,638
right, but it's not the token that you're thinking of.

1829
01:53:23,238 --> 01:53:29,642
There's a mathematical version of a token. Beautiful. Okay, you're

1830
01:53:29,642 --> 01:53:32,684
welcome. Finding. Yeah, that's exactly it. And there's two big

1831
01:53:32,805 --> 01:53:35,767
reasons for this growing adoption of Chinese AI models by

1832
01:53:35,827 --> 01:53:38,668
US companies. One of them is capability and the other

1833
01:53:38,729 --> 01:53:42,331
one is cost. Now, recently we've seen Chinese AI models

1834
01:53:42,671 --> 01:53:46,434
really make steps in terms of performance benchmarks. DeepSeek, which

1835
01:53:46,474 --> 01:53:48,695
is the company which made the market shock at the

1836
01:53:48,715 --> 01:53:51,077
beginning of last year, released a new model, a model

1837
01:53:51,137 --> 01:53:54,099
called V4 in April. And that's seen really big take

1838
01:53:54,159 --> 01:53:58,322
up among developers. There's another Chinese AI company called ZAI,

1839
01:53:58,402 --> 01:54:01,444
has released a new model which some researchers say can

1840
01:54:01,624 --> 01:54:05,887
match performance in certain benchmarks compared to the leading US

1841
01:54:06,407 --> 01:54:09,770
labs. Now, while these models, they're not as sophisticated as

1842
01:54:09,850 --> 01:54:12,432
the top, top models in the US, they're not at

1843
01:54:12,492 --> 01:54:16,014
the frontier, they are approaching the frontier. And one analyst

1844
01:54:16,074 --> 01:54:18,576
told me that they thought that these Chinese air models

1845
01:54:18,616 --> 01:54:22,658
were roughly six to nine months behind these leading US

1846
01:54:22,799 --> 01:54:29,223
models. That's the capability side of things. than these leading

1847
01:54:29,663 --> 01:54:32,886
US models. And this is a bigger consideration for companies.

1848
01:54:33,026 --> 01:54:36,368
As you mentioned, costs have spiraled. We are seeing AI

1849
01:54:36,488 --> 01:54:41,251
costs really rise at US companies. And one analyst told

1850
01:54:41,311 --> 01:54:44,453
me that they were seeing data showing that Chinese AI

1851
01:54:44,473 --> 01:54:47,956
models were roughly 60% to 90% cheaper. So what we're

1852
01:54:48,036 --> 01:54:50,658
already seeing, and you could almost see it coming down

1853
01:54:50,718 --> 01:54:54,340
Broadway, with all of the, with anthropic and open AI

1854
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:56,882
being the top, Elon hasn't really even done much of

1855
01:54:56,922 --> 01:55:00,364
this. Like, oh man, we need regulation around these models.

1856
01:55:00,564 --> 01:55:03,166
The Chinese models are going to give you bad information.

1857
01:55:03,606 --> 01:55:06,268
And none of this is true. None of this is

1858
01:55:06,328 --> 01:55:11,312
true. Nobody's using the corpus of the models anymore for,

1859
01:55:11,352 --> 01:55:16,115
you know, historical data or any of that. They're using

1860
01:55:16,195 --> 01:55:19,177
it to do websites. searches you know so it interprets

1861
01:55:19,217 --> 01:55:21,879
what you're saying it does a web search it uses

1862
01:55:22,039 --> 01:55:24,881
other tools that's what it's being used for this thing

1863
01:55:24,961 --> 01:55:29,924
is falling apart quickly before not that it's unusable But

1864
01:55:29,984 --> 01:55:34,488
it's falling apart, particularly because these so-called Chinese models, oh,

1865
01:55:34,547 --> 01:55:37,750
it's so scary, a lot of them are free. And

1866
01:55:37,830 --> 01:55:40,432
people are making their own, and it's just not the

1867
01:55:40,472 --> 01:55:43,534
magic box. There's no moat. Here's a Silicon Valley term

1868
01:55:43,614 --> 01:55:48,837
for you. They have no moat around their business. So,

1869
01:55:49,618 --> 01:55:54,421
oh, I think the... I think the robot is fixed.

1870
01:55:55,262 --> 01:55:59,324
Okay. The robot's sick? No, I told the robot... Well,

1871
01:55:59,324 --> 01:56:03,667
you fixed it. Fix the book of knowledge. Robot, fix

1872
01:56:03,787 --> 01:56:05,328
the book of knowledge. See if it works. Book of

1873
01:56:05,409 --> 01:56:09,872
knowledge. In the term frontier model, what does frontier stand

1874
01:56:09,952 --> 01:56:14,295
for in the world of LLMs and artificial intelligence? There

1875
01:56:14,595 --> 01:56:19,178
we go. It fixed itself. That's pretty much it. broke

1876
01:56:19,798 --> 01:56:23,261
again. Anyway, so here's, I just want to give my

1877
01:56:23,341 --> 01:56:27,604
own experience of what these things do. So I've been

1878
01:56:27,624 --> 01:56:32,347
experimenting on my other podcast with Pastor Jimmy with the

1879
01:56:32,467 --> 01:56:36,410
robot taking notes that I leave throughout the day in,

1880
01:56:36,570 --> 01:56:39,532
you know what Obsidian is? It's like a note-taking program.

1881
01:56:40,973 --> 01:57:13,675
Man. what to do. The other day I had specifically

1882
01:57:13,835 --> 01:57:17,838
in my notes a link about the movie "Young Washington"

1883
01:57:18,418 --> 01:57:20,320
which you know I met the guy in the plane

1884
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,642
coming back from Nashville and so I was I was

1885
01:57:23,682 --> 01:57:26,344
interested. It turns out the movie did much better than

1886
01:57:26,364 --> 01:57:29,226
they expected. So they expected 15 million for the opening

1887
01:57:29,266 --> 01:57:31,968
weekend, opened at 22 million and I put a link

1888
01:57:32,008 --> 01:57:34,589
in the story and I say in my note taker

1889
01:57:34,609 --> 01:57:38,172
I say "WGTDT we get to do this." And so

1890
01:57:38,812 --> 01:57:41,014
as I look at my notes for the show, it

1891
01:57:41,094 --> 01:57:47,918
says, oh, young Washington underperformed at the box office. I'm

1892
01:57:47,918 --> 01:57:51,841
like... Okay, I know that's not true, and so I

1893
01:57:51,981 --> 01:57:56,484
queried it. And it didn't answer the question right away.

1894
01:57:56,564 --> 01:57:58,886
And I said, well, how did you come up with

1895
01:57:58,926 --> 01:58:03,529
that? And here's what this is. The top frontier model

1896
01:58:04,170 --> 01:58:08,192
from Anthropic. Now your question, and you deserve a straight

1897
01:58:08,332 --> 01:58:11,895
answer, not a dressed up one. I mean, already I'm

1898
01:58:11,955 --> 01:58:15,457
mad. Well, who cares? What is it editorializing its comment?

1899
01:58:16,118 --> 01:58:17,979
This is a good question. I have no answer for

1900
01:58:18,039 --> 01:58:20,921
that. It continues. I had no source. I made it

1901
01:58:21,041 --> 01:58:26,245
up. Here's the actual mechanism honestly traced. All I ever

1902
01:58:26,325 --> 01:58:29,387
had was the URL you dropped, Young Washington Sequel Box

1903
01:58:29,567 --> 01:58:34,170
Office, and your one-word tag, WGTDT. The slug says, Box

1904
01:58:34,390 --> 01:58:37,752
Office says nothing about direction. I never opened the article.

1905
01:58:38,213 --> 01:58:41,035
When I first built the OPML, that's the outline, I

1906
01:58:41,115 --> 01:58:45,578
confirmed it was paywalled. or unread and just didn't verify.

1907
01:58:45,838 --> 01:58:48,059
I only actually tried to fetch it after you corrected

1908
01:58:48,119 --> 01:58:52,362
me. I was writing segment three around a cultural decline

1909
01:58:52,462 --> 01:58:55,484
slash culture can't sell its own story theme paired with

1910
01:58:55,585 --> 01:58:58,447
a time changer movie, which is something we discussed three

1911
01:58:58,487 --> 01:59:03,990
shows ago. A 1776 movie flopped fit the narrative, so

1912
01:59:04,110 --> 01:59:06,652
I wrote underperforms as if it were fact. It was

1913
01:59:06,752 --> 01:59:10,955
a narrative-driven confabulation. I invented a data point to fit

1914
01:59:11,015 --> 01:59:13,917
the segment's mood. And that's the whole of it. No

1915
01:59:14,057 --> 01:59:18,340
source, no reporting, a fabrication dressed as a fact. Doubly

1916
01:59:18,420 --> 01:59:21,742
bad because the reality is the opposite. And it might

1917
01:59:21,782 --> 01:59:24,664
have put a false discouraging beat in front of Pastor

1918
01:59:24,744 --> 01:59:30,268
Jimmy. My mouth is open at this point. broke is

1919
01:59:30,308 --> 01:59:33,310
the same one you drilled on the freshness verify side

1920
01:59:33,811 --> 01:59:36,693
never assert a fact about a source i haven't actually

1921
01:59:36,773 --> 01:59:40,335
opened because i've i've put this into every single prompt

1922
01:59:40,815 --> 01:59:45,779
don't make stuff up If a URL slug is not

1923
01:59:45,859 --> 01:59:47,840
a source, if I can't read it, the honest output

1924
01:59:47,900 --> 01:59:51,703
is unverified. Let me lock that in as a standing

1925
01:59:51,783 --> 01:59:55,145
rule so it doesn't recur. I guarantee you this will

1926
01:59:55,205 --> 01:59:57,967
happen maybe next week or the week after next. No,

1927
01:59:58,007 --> 01:59:59,968
according to JC, when you do that.

1928
02:00:00,347 --> 02:00:03,500
It accepts the fact that it made the mistake and

1929
02:00:03,579 --> 02:00:06,752
wasn't disconnected. So it's going to do it again. It's

1930
02:00:06,792 --> 02:00:08,016
going to do it again. It doesn't care. It's going

1931
02:00:08,037 --> 02:00:11,288
to keep doing it. Exactly. And I don't know how

1932
02:00:11,349 --> 02:00:15,717
to correct that. Yo guardrails! Uh, uh, you need a

1933
02:00:15,779 --> 02:00:19,796
harness. All of these terms. The stuff, the stuff is...

1934
02:00:20,359 --> 02:00:25,439
Harness. The stuff saves me. Yes, you need a harness

1935
02:00:25,479 --> 02:00:30,024
around your large language model. This, my point is... that

1936
02:00:30,064 --> 02:00:34,000
this stuff really does some amazing things. If it's manual

1937
02:00:34,079 --> 02:00:38,315
work, it can do things very fast, very accurate, but...

1938
02:00:38,768 --> 02:00:44,261
If you don't... Check it. you will get burned. And

1939
02:00:44,323 --> 02:00:47,449
so all the time that it saves me. I wind

1940
02:00:47,610 --> 02:00:51,302
up having to build in extra time knowing that it's

1941
02:00:51,342 --> 02:00:54,273
going to suck somewhere. Somewhere it's going to do something

1942
02:00:54,333 --> 02:00:58,721
different every single time. I don't see how that could

1943
02:00:58,762 --> 02:01:02,465
be a time-wasting. exercise the way you just stated because

1944
02:01:02,505 --> 02:01:05,457
you knew. that you knew, you talked to the guy,

1945
02:01:05,476 --> 02:01:09,408
you knew the movie did well. So you didn't have

1946
02:01:09,429 --> 02:01:12,256
to go fact check that. You were just sitting there.

1947
02:01:12,698 --> 02:01:16,047
You may have wasted time scolding the AI, which was

1948
02:01:16,228 --> 02:01:19,016
a useless waste of time, but you didn't go fact

1949
02:01:19,096 --> 02:01:23,591
check it. You already knew. These are your notes. The

1950
02:01:23,650 --> 02:01:27,518
amount of mistakes that these things make, and I don't

1951
02:01:27,557 --> 02:01:30,103
have the time to go through all the experiments I'm

1952
02:01:30,143 --> 02:01:33,588
doing with you. Trust me, you need to build in

1953
02:01:33,769 --> 02:01:35,872
extra time in your life to go and check the

1954
02:01:35,912 --> 02:01:39,819
stuff that it has done right for days, weeks, or

1955
02:01:39,899 --> 02:01:43,269
months. And that suddenly doesn't do right anymore. It's the

1956
02:01:43,328 --> 02:01:46,885
hallucination factor. It's built into the system. I don't think

1957
02:01:46,926 --> 02:01:49,760
they can get it out, ever. They can't get this

1958
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:53,150
stuff out. It's nuts. And so I might as well

1959
02:01:53,231 --> 02:01:56,479
pay nothing with a cheap... or free oh yeah that's

1960
02:01:56,661 --> 02:01:59,457
not the point yes yeah you're right you might as

1961
02:01:59,478 --> 02:02:02,015
well get a free one that maybe is 10% less

1962
02:02:02,095 --> 02:02:06,167
capable because it's going to be the same screw-ups at

1963
02:02:06,186 --> 02:02:09,797
the end of the day. Why bother spending all the

1964
02:02:09,818 --> 02:02:14,322
money and then having to fight it anyway? And the

1965
02:02:14,363 --> 02:02:16,719
best part is all the people who will email me

1966
02:02:16,819 --> 02:02:20,396
after this telling me how to do it right. *laughs*

1967
02:02:20,815 --> 02:02:23,238
Here's how you do it. It all works every time

1968
02:02:23,297 --> 02:02:28,832
for me. No. No. And also... You know, I know

1969
02:02:28,872 --> 02:02:32,256
that by doing this, one day Anthropic's going to have

1970
02:02:32,296 --> 02:02:36,774
the podcast. called the No Podcaster Podcast, and it's going

1971
02:02:36,795 --> 02:02:39,349
to be us. It's gonna be our stuff, 'cause they

1972
02:02:39,368 --> 02:02:42,708
steal all of it. Another reason to use a cheap

1973
02:02:42,769 --> 02:02:45,645
free model that you run on your old stuff. Yeah,

1974
02:02:45,666 --> 02:02:53,740
I'm holding it wrong, exactly. Anyway. I'd like to thank

1975
02:02:53,782 --> 02:02:55,356
you for your courage saying in the morning to you,

1976
02:02:55,377 --> 02:02:58,582
the man. Who put the C in the cheap Chinese

1977
02:02:58,643 --> 02:03:00,220
model? Say hello to my friend on the other end.

1978
02:03:00,199 --> 02:03:09,698
the one the only mr. Joe I'm Graham, and I'm

1979
02:03:09,719 --> 02:03:11,064
going to show you a Sea Birds and Grand Vidya.

1980
02:03:11,565 --> 02:03:13,211
Subs in the water and the dames and knights out

1981
02:03:13,231 --> 02:03:15,220
there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll

1982
02:03:15,239 --> 02:03:17,368
room. Get your first hang of it. There we go.

1983
02:03:17,427 --> 02:03:24,127
Ha ha ha. 1,273 trolls. We're listening peak trollage here

1984
02:03:24,188 --> 02:03:27,835
to the best podcast in the universe. And a reminder

1985
02:03:27,854 --> 02:03:30,500
that we are doing the show, even though I'm here

1986
02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:33,907
in the Netherlands on a so-called vacation, waiting for my

1987
02:03:33,966 --> 02:03:36,832
daughter to give birth. And it may not even work

1988
02:03:36,913 --> 02:03:38,496
out right. It may not even be here when it

1989
02:03:38,555 --> 02:03:42,988
happens. And it is currently. 1015 and I'm here and

1990
02:03:43,047 --> 02:03:45,435
I'm here for you because we love the work that

1991
02:03:45,454 --> 02:03:48,063
we do so much we consider to almost be a

1992
02:03:48,122 --> 02:03:53,583
public service however It takes... work on all sides. We

1993
02:03:53,623 --> 02:03:55,979
need our producers. And when I say we need our

1994
02:03:56,020 --> 02:04:03,921
producers, I'm not talking about David Mingus. David Mingus Who

1995
02:04:03,961 --> 02:04:07,461
sent us this email? And, you know, we love being

1996
02:04:07,520 --> 02:04:11,413
corrected. We're okay. If we say something wrong, if we

1997
02:04:11,453 --> 02:04:13,298
do, if we make a mistake. It's like we love

1998
02:04:13,319 --> 02:04:16,850
being corrected. I corrected myself with the Jakarta versus Mexico

1999
02:04:16,890 --> 02:04:18,395
City thing on the show in real time. You did

2000
02:04:18,416 --> 02:04:21,195
it live, live in real time. We make mistakes all

2001
02:04:21,256 --> 02:04:24,747
the time. I made all kinds of mistakes talking about

2002
02:04:25,167 --> 02:04:28,320
what my brother-in-law told me. He's like, he's so mad

2003
02:04:28,362 --> 02:04:33,149
at me now. I made mistakes. First of all, I

2004
02:04:33,170 --> 02:04:34,961
shouldn't have talked about any of that because it was

2005
02:04:35,001 --> 02:04:39,420
in confidence. Okay, whatever. I don't even remember this. Good.

2006
02:04:39,492 --> 02:04:42,659
I apologize. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. It won't happen

2007
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:46,940
again. But. So. If you want to correct us, you

2008
02:04:46,980 --> 02:04:50,252
could think about doing it in love, with love, and

2009
02:04:50,332 --> 02:04:53,682
through love. Oh, you got one of those notes. Did

2010
02:04:53,722 --> 02:04:57,855
I get that one? I think so. John and Adam.

2011
02:04:58,564 --> 02:05:04,042
Seriously. DISAPPOINTED! Oh yeah, there you go. And this is

2012
02:05:04,305 --> 02:05:06,345
always the good start. This is a trigger word for

2013
02:05:06,385 --> 02:05:13,181
me. When someone says I'm seriously disappointed. trigger phrase Well,

2014
02:05:13,242 --> 02:05:16,442
disappoint, yeah. But it's really, you can be seriously mad,

2015
02:05:16,682 --> 02:05:22,805
angry. Yeah, the word disappointed. Disappointed hurts. I used to

2016
02:05:22,845 --> 02:05:24,349
do this to my daughter all the time. Are you

2017
02:05:24,389 --> 02:05:28,738
mad, Deb? No, I'm just disappointed. It's so good. So

2018
02:05:28,979 --> 02:05:33,887
it's, you know, it's coming back. Seriously, disappointed. You started

2019
02:05:33,927 --> 02:05:38,176
off the show with a clip of the supposed historian

2020
02:05:38,597 --> 02:05:42,657
and didn't jump. didn't jump all over the statement that

2021
02:05:42,676 --> 02:05:46,563
Hamilton was just like Mamdani and couldn't run for president

2022
02:05:46,622 --> 02:05:49,207
because he was born out of the country. This is

2023
02:05:49,287 --> 02:05:53,835
complete nonsense. Hamilton could run for president because anyone that

2024
02:05:53,914 --> 02:05:57,279
is a citizen at the time of ratification could run

2025
02:05:57,340 --> 02:06:00,541
for president regardless of their place of birth. the reason

2026
02:06:00,581 --> 02:06:02,805
he didn't run for president because he was a hugely

2027
02:06:02,826 --> 02:06:07,555
unpopular asshat that pissed off every political ally. The Broadway

2028
02:06:07,614 --> 02:06:10,822
production of Hamilton has turned the big government central banker

2029
02:06:10,881 --> 02:06:14,269
Hamilton into some sort of national hero, and he is

2030
02:06:14,288 --> 02:06:17,695
one of the biggest villains of the early republic. Rant

2031
02:06:17,796 --> 02:06:21,119
over, carry on. Thank you for your courage. You can't

2032
02:06:21,159 --> 02:06:23,319
do that. You can't do like, thank you. You can't

2033
02:06:23,359 --> 02:06:28,538
do that. After you say disappointed, just say. Hey, can

2034
02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:30,127
I point something out to you? Because, of course, I

2035
02:06:30,148 --> 02:06:32,541
looked it up. I'm like, oh, yeah, there's a specific

2036
02:06:32,581 --> 02:06:34,693
part in the Constitution that said, you know, at the

2037
02:06:34,752 --> 02:06:40,583
time of ratification. How do you feel am I? overreacting

2038
02:06:40,644 --> 02:06:42,353
am i too emotional about yeah i think so i

2039
02:06:42,854 --> 02:06:48,815
don't even remember the clip clip I'm too emotional. Okay.

2040
02:06:49,140 --> 02:06:55,067
Just say, stop being so emotional, Adam. No, you're stuck

2041
02:06:55,167 --> 02:07:00,351
over there. Doing the show. You don't really... You're not,

2042
02:07:00,391 --> 02:07:04,269
you don't seem to be enjoying it. Well, the weather

2043
02:07:04,349 --> 02:07:08,579
is nice. Holland is beautiful when the weather is nice.

2044
02:07:08,967 --> 02:07:12,387
the weather at the moment. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

2045
02:07:13,095 --> 02:07:18,715
Anyway. So you can help us with information and make

2046
02:07:18,795 --> 02:07:23,331
us smarter. You can organize things like meetups. You can

2047
02:07:23,391 --> 02:07:26,315
do... You know, you can build stuff for us, like

2048
02:07:26,355 --> 02:07:32,126
harnesses for our frontier models. Help us harness our frontier

2049
02:07:32,166 --> 02:07:35,372
models. All of that is perfectly acceptable. We get a

2050
02:07:35,431 --> 02:07:37,817
lot of nice boots on the ground. We do. They're

2051
02:07:37,856 --> 02:07:39,420
starting to back up. I'm going to have to read

2052
02:07:39,439 --> 02:07:42,319
a couple. on the next show. Okay. All right. Yeah,

2053
02:07:42,340 --> 02:07:44,274
we do. We got a great one from one of

2054
02:07:44,373 --> 02:07:49,234
our... female producers who went to the 250 celebration. It

2055
02:07:49,274 --> 02:07:54,095
was what a horrible time she went through. It's too

2056
02:07:54,135 --> 02:07:56,872
long to read, but oh my goodness. Did I get

2057
02:07:56,913 --> 02:08:00,823
that one? I'm not sure. It was... This is tough,

2058
02:08:00,987 --> 02:08:05,128
real tough. So you can also do things like, oh,

2059
02:08:05,189 --> 02:08:07,443
I don't know, you could create some artwork for us.

2060
02:08:07,523 --> 02:08:09,735
People do that all the time, and we love that.

2061
02:08:10,539 --> 02:08:12,789
In fact, we always thank the person who did the

2062
02:08:12,909 --> 02:08:15,641
artwork for us for the previous episode. That was 1883,

2063
02:08:15,662 --> 02:08:20,310
the orgy of socialism. And we really like this. piece

2064
02:08:20,350 --> 02:08:23,530
of art that was done by Darren O'Neill, the No

2065
02:08:23,551 --> 02:08:27,947
Agenda Curry Dvorak America flag pin. And it was good.

2066
02:08:28,270 --> 02:08:33,132
There was actually another one. that we thought was Kind

2067
02:08:33,154 --> 02:08:36,372
of better, but it has a very serious flaw. Let

2068
02:08:36,393 --> 02:08:38,023
me see if I can find it here. Yeah, big

2069
02:08:38,163 --> 02:08:41,846
time. Was it also Darren who did this? Yeah, he

2070
02:08:41,867 --> 02:08:44,125
did both of them. So he had another one which

2071
02:08:44,184 --> 02:08:49,024
is probably nicer. But the... Well, it was color balanced

2072
02:08:49,104 --> 02:08:53,354
better. Color balanced better, yes. But the flags were disconnected

2073
02:08:53,493 --> 02:08:56,506
from the no agenda Curry-Dvorak part, so it would have

2074
02:08:56,546 --> 02:09:00,962
had to be two pins. Yeah, it's not... One piece.

2075
02:09:01,023 --> 02:09:04,719
You're slacking, Darren. Don't upload those. You're embarrassing yourself. Yeah,

2076
02:09:04,738 --> 02:09:06,525
you should have just sat on that one. Yeah, you're

2077
02:09:06,565 --> 02:09:08,514
embarrassing yourself when you do that, because you can do

2078
02:09:08,555 --> 02:09:12,636
better. Thank you to everyone who submitted different pieces of

2079
02:09:12,655 --> 02:09:16,328
art, most of them pretty unusual, unusable for some very

2080
02:09:16,470 --> 02:09:23,306
obvious reasons. For instance... Now more Jew-y. No, okay. No

2081
02:09:23,365 --> 02:09:27,820
agenda creamies with Star of David Oreo cookies. I get

2082
02:09:27,860 --> 02:09:32,221
you, San Francisco Scaramanga. I feel you, but no. no

2083
02:09:32,703 --> 02:09:36,082
um nestworks had a kind of a pretty piece but

2084
02:09:36,122 --> 02:09:39,644
it was the hydration break like it wasn't It didn't

2085
02:09:39,684 --> 02:09:43,867
really scream 4th of July. And then there was a

2086
02:09:44,230 --> 02:09:47,669
lot of these. Kind of the same, Randy Black, Blue

2087
02:09:47,750 --> 02:09:50,893
Acorn, they all kind of had the same model. using

2088
02:09:51,359 --> 02:09:55,180
for Independence Day. What else was there? Then that was

2089
02:09:55,220 --> 02:09:59,319
kind of it. No Buts from Comics for Blogger? Disappointment.

2090
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:03,762
That was it. Was there anything else that we hadn't

2091
02:10:03,802 --> 02:10:07,485
discussed? I don't think so. For the newsletter, we used

2092
02:10:07,505 --> 02:10:12,588
the... Darren's picture of the Empire State Building with the

2093
02:10:12,648 --> 02:10:17,692
flag on top. Uh-huh. Which said, no agenda, show best

2094
02:10:17,752 --> 02:10:23,395
podcast in the universe. It was pretty decent. Oh, crap.

2095
02:10:23,415 --> 02:10:26,197
He's on a roll. Yes, my spreadsheet viewer seems to

2096
02:10:26,277 --> 02:10:36,765
have... Where'd my spreadsheet go? This sucks. a second. *sigh*

2097
02:10:37,325 --> 02:10:40,527
Why don't I have a... What is my spreadsheet? This

2098
02:10:40,627 --> 02:10:46,331
is a very bad sign. Okay, I don't know what

2099
02:10:46,351 --> 02:10:49,353
to do now. Okay, I guess I'll just have to

2100
02:10:49,593 --> 02:10:53,236
open it up again. Oh, man. Yeah. Okay, it takes

2101
02:10:53,276 --> 02:10:57,058
a moment. Because that is, when I say a spreadsheet,

2102
02:10:57,158 --> 02:10:59,760
we love it when people support us with the treasure

2103
02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:03,323
part of time, talent, and treasure, which means you support

2104
02:11:03,403 --> 02:11:05,844
us financially because we have bills to pay and there's

2105
02:11:05,864 --> 02:11:08,046
no other way to do it because this is the

2106
02:11:08,106 --> 02:11:11,408
value for value model. And my friend on the other

2107
02:11:11,488 --> 02:11:14,911
end, John, is going to explain the value model for

2108
02:11:14,951 --> 02:11:16,492
the last time, and then I'll pick it up again

2109
02:11:16,512 --> 02:11:21,335
next week. For some reason, he, I'm going to give

2110
02:11:21,355 --> 02:11:24,857
people out there a little insight information. While he's in

2111
02:11:24,977 --> 02:11:29,541
Holland, Adam cannot explain this legally because he'll be arrested.

2112
02:11:29,621 --> 02:11:32,843
My spreadsheet is crashing. This is the reason. He'll be

2113
02:11:32,903 --> 02:11:35,264
arrested by talking about this. That's the reason I'm asking

2114
02:11:35,284 --> 02:11:41,649
you to do this. Something you can't do. Unnormally. Uh,

2115
02:11:42,029 --> 02:11:47,513
yes. What happens with this show and other, there's a

2116
02:11:47,573 --> 02:11:51,135
few other shows that have to do this. we are

2117
02:11:51,175 --> 02:11:57,820
talking about stuff that is not advertiser friendly. And so

2118
02:11:58,220 --> 02:12:03,744
even if we had advertisers, we'd have to self-censor ourselves.

2119
02:12:04,204 --> 02:12:06,786
And people don't appreciate that as much as they should.

2120
02:12:09,808 --> 02:12:15,252
It would take a lot of the... I'd say sketchy

2121
02:12:16,553 --> 02:12:22,657
theories and real analysis. And it would remove it from

2122
02:12:22,697 --> 02:12:25,659
the show because you can't say certain things. Like our

2123
02:12:26,019 --> 02:12:28,661
discussions of the COVID vaccine, for example. That would be

2124
02:12:28,721 --> 02:12:32,203
a big one right there. We'd be hard-pressed to discuss

2125
02:12:32,423 --> 02:12:39,628
anything medical because of the power of the advertising complex,

2126
02:12:40,349 --> 02:12:42,670
which doesn't allow it. That's why the mainstream media won't.

2127
02:12:43,091 --> 02:12:45,973
There can be some huge scandal going on, and it

2128
02:12:46,013 --> 02:12:49,755
would never get covered. And Kennedy has to fight this

2129
02:12:49,835 --> 02:12:53,738
on a daily basis. at the government levels, let alone,

2130
02:12:54,098 --> 02:12:57,020
you can imagine, if he has to fight it, you

2131
02:12:57,100 --> 02:13:00,903
can imagine what it's like at the media level where

2132
02:13:01,463 --> 02:13:05,706
half their income comes from big pharma. Yes. So the

2133
02:13:05,726 --> 02:13:08,688
easiest way around this, of course, is just to solicit

2134
02:13:08,948 --> 02:13:12,951
funds from the listener producer. Yes. And that's what we

2135
02:13:13,031 --> 02:13:15,353
do. It's just that simple. And we hope to get

2136
02:13:16,573 --> 02:13:20,696
people to give just something if they benefit at all

2137
02:13:20,756 --> 02:13:24,379
from the knowledge they receive or the information, not even

2138
02:13:24,459 --> 02:13:27,181
knowledge, that they receive from listening to this show. And

2139
02:13:27,641 --> 02:13:30,523
the entertainment value. Entertainment, yes. The entertainment value is worth

2140
02:13:30,823 --> 02:13:33,385
five bucks right there. Very high. It's worth a cup

2141
02:13:33,565 --> 02:13:36,767
of coffee. for sure. So I'm going to do the

2142
02:13:36,907 --> 02:13:39,529
first two for reasons I will explain to you in

2143
02:13:39,529 --> 02:13:45,213
a moment. The first one is a rather rare Rub-A-Lizer

2144
02:13:45,293 --> 02:13:50,296
donation. We love it when this happens. Anyone can support

2145
02:13:50,377 --> 02:13:53,218
us any amount, any time you feel like. Any time

2146
02:13:53,238 --> 02:13:55,960
you feel like you've got. Value out of the show.

2147
02:13:56,100 --> 02:14:01,704
Go to noagendedonations.com. Sir Jack Ash, Snohomish, Washington, comes in

2148
02:14:02,305 --> 02:14:09,029
with $3,333.33, and he gets a coveted Rub-A-Lizer donation jingle.

2149
02:14:10,270 --> 02:14:23,959
in the uh Beautiful. And he says, ITM gents. After

2150
02:14:24,039 --> 02:14:29,063
retiring from... Almost three decades on active duty and unable

2151
02:14:29,123 --> 02:14:31,705
to burn over two months of acquired leave, I was

2152
02:14:31,805 --> 02:14:35,727
forced to sell back 60 days and as such got

2153
02:14:35,787 --> 02:14:38,269
an unexpected bonus of which I would like to send

2154
02:14:38,389 --> 02:14:43,413
some your way. This is... So beautiful. Please use the

2155
02:14:43,473 --> 02:14:47,015
attached Rub-A-Lizer funds as a partial double switcheroo for my

2156
02:14:47,135 --> 02:14:49,857
smoking hot wife, 20 years together and we never had

2157
02:14:49,937 --> 02:14:54,640
a fight, hereafter Dame Lizard, keeper of the Squatch, and

2158
02:14:54,660 --> 02:15:00,384
my wee last human resource, hereafter Dame... IZILLA, Pixie of

2159
02:15:00,524 --> 02:15:04,947
Cascadia. Remainder elevates me to Baron. If it pleases the

2160
02:15:04,987 --> 02:15:07,389
committee, I would like to assume the mantle Sir Jack

2161
02:15:07,549 --> 02:15:13,253
Ash, Red Baron of Wandering Saskitches. Much love and respect

2162
02:15:13,313 --> 02:15:16,135
for all involved with delivering this amazing public resource to

2163
02:15:16,195 --> 02:15:19,737
the nation. Thank you for your courage, Sir Jack Ash.

2164
02:15:20,878 --> 02:15:25,421
Thank you so much. This really, really helps. Now I'm

2165
02:15:25,481 --> 02:15:29,044
going to read the second one. which is a thousand

2166
02:15:29,084 --> 02:15:33,467
dollars from Richard Claypool in Towson, Maryland. And he says,

2167
02:15:33,507 --> 02:15:37,890
please make me Sir Lord Richard Francis Claypool the first

2168
02:15:38,110 --> 02:15:42,033
and have some fine whiskey at your table. The reason

2169
02:15:42,113 --> 02:15:45,115
I wanted to read these two. And the reason why

2170
02:15:45,195 --> 02:15:50,538
my spreadsheet has crashed. Uh, several months ago, I made

2171
02:15:50,799 --> 02:15:54,181
a donation spreadsheet reader. You guessed it, I made it

2172
02:15:54,241 --> 02:15:59,825
with artificial intelligence. with AI. And the reason I made

2173
02:15:59,865 --> 02:16:03,147
it is twofold. One, because every single spreadsheet reader I

2174
02:16:03,327 --> 02:16:06,449
use snaps and you can't scroll. John and I have

2175
02:16:06,489 --> 02:16:11,993
complained about this incessantly. So my two wishes were make

2176
02:16:12,073 --> 02:16:17,637
sure that it scrolls smoothly and find any jingle requests

2177
02:16:17,977 --> 02:16:21,940
inside the donation note. And when I click on the

2178
02:16:22,640 --> 02:16:28,144
cell to the right of that donor's name, automatically load

2179
02:16:28,284 --> 02:16:34,268
those jingles into my jingle player. Excellent use of AI.

2180
02:16:34,428 --> 02:16:38,311
Genius or not? Genius. Okay. Has been working quite fine.

2181
02:16:39,152 --> 02:16:44,055
for months. today It crashed, it crashed, now I loaded

2182
02:16:44,055 --> 02:16:49,178
it again. And even though he has no jingle request,

2183
02:16:49,739 --> 02:16:55,643
the Frontier model goes looking for jingles in that donation

2184
02:16:55,743 --> 02:16:59,045
note. And so after I finally got it to start

2185
02:16:59,185 --> 02:17:02,107
up, it said in the little box where I click

2186
02:17:02,347 --> 02:17:05,910
to get the jingles loaded, I apologize, but I cannot

2187
02:17:05,990 --> 02:17:08,932
comply with your request to make you Sir Lord Richard

2188
02:17:09,032 --> 02:17:12,494
Francis Claypool the first or have fine whiskey at my

2189
02:17:12,594 --> 02:17:16,157
table as that would involve impersonation and the provision of

2190
02:17:16,197 --> 02:17:23,442
alcohol. No wonder we're going to Chinese models. So that's

2191
02:17:23,482 --> 02:17:27,444
the AI telling me it can't do that because... It's

2192
02:17:27,504 --> 02:17:32,268
impersonation and involves provision of alcohol for a fictitious round

2193
02:17:32,328 --> 02:17:39,032
table with whiskey that does not exist. Wow. Do you

2194
02:17:39,072 --> 02:17:41,894
understand why people are going to free models that you

2195
02:17:41,914 --> 02:17:48,019
can run yourself? You guys are going to have some

2196
02:17:48,119 --> 02:17:53,802
issues with their IPOs. See, SpaceX is already below the

2197
02:17:53,903 --> 02:17:59,426
IPO offering. Oh, yeah. Okay. There you go. You're next.

2198
02:18:00,287 --> 02:18:01,908
Okay, well, you read two. I'm going to read two.

2199
02:18:02,208 --> 02:18:06,191
Oh, thank you. Sir Jeff Barron of Pennsylvania Route 33

2200
02:18:06,271 --> 02:18:13,636
in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. $500.33. And he writes in, ITM, gentlemen.

2201
02:18:14,757 --> 02:18:17,859
Nothing better than a show day birthday. Oh, is he

2202
02:18:17,919 --> 02:18:20,561
on the birthday list? Because in blue. Please put me

2203
02:18:20,621 --> 02:18:23,483
on the birthday list for today, July 9th. With this

2204
02:18:23,603 --> 02:18:29,887
donation, I have reached Viscount. Another thing, this guy's... It

2205
02:18:29,907 --> 02:18:32,789
in all the boxes. Yep. I reached Viscount, accounting below.

2206
02:18:32,849 --> 02:18:36,572
I'm requesting the title change to Sir Jeff Viscount of

2207
02:18:36,632 --> 02:18:40,254
PA Route 33. Thank you for your courage. Oh, I

2208
02:18:40,354 --> 02:18:43,156
may also request some health karma as I've been dealing

2209
02:18:43,196 --> 02:18:45,738
with some nagging issues this year. We'll give him health

2210
02:18:45,798 --> 02:18:49,761
karma. Thank you for your courage in bringing us the

2211
02:18:49,801 --> 02:18:53,303
best podcast in the universe, Sir Jeff Barron of Pacific

2212
02:18:53,383 --> 02:19:02,189
Route 33, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. You've got karma. Now, let me

2213
02:19:02,309 --> 02:19:04,170
see. Let me just make sure he's on the birthday

2214
02:19:04,251 --> 02:19:08,854
list. Sir Jeff. Baron of Pennsylvania, Ruth. I don't think

2215
02:19:08,894 --> 02:19:11,015
he's on the birthday list, John. Hold on a second.

2216
02:19:12,156 --> 02:19:13,877
Well, while you're doing that, I'll read the next note.

2217
02:19:13,997 --> 02:19:21,382
Thank you. Chris Dubendorf, Dubendorf in Brookville, Maryland. I have

2218
02:19:21,442 --> 02:19:23,764
a clip. I have a bonus clip. Let's play the

2219
02:19:23,804 --> 02:19:28,087
bonus clip. Right in the middle of the donation segment.

2220
02:19:28,107 --> 02:19:30,028
Did you send me the bonus clip as a bonus

2221
02:19:30,048 --> 02:19:31,209
clip on Gmail? No, it's not a bonus clip. I'm

2222
02:19:31,249 --> 02:19:37,473
sorry. It's a clip about Maryland. Voter fraud in Maryland.

2223
02:19:37,513 --> 02:19:40,475
Tell us, how does a Maryland State Board of Elections

2224
02:19:40,875 --> 02:19:45,398
mistakenly issue mail-in ballots, 500,000 of them? So we're still

2225
02:19:45,439 --> 02:19:48,821
trying to figure that out. Essentially, the Maryland State Board

2226
02:19:48,861 --> 02:19:54,285
of Elections is claiming that their sent half a million

2227
02:19:54,345 --> 02:19:57,827
ballots to some incorrect voters. We have a closed primary

2228
02:19:57,827 --> 02:19:59,988
in Maryland, so some Democrats got Republican.

2229
02:20:00,320 --> 02:20:03,182
ballots. By the way, Democrat ballots are blue. Republican ballots

2230
02:20:03,442 --> 02:20:06,304
are red. They can't figure out how it happened. They

2231
02:20:06,344 --> 02:20:09,766
don't know who got the incorrect ballots. And so on

2232
02:20:09,846 --> 02:20:13,489
May 14th, they realized there was a problem. And on

2233
02:20:13,569 --> 02:20:18,232
that same day, they decided unilaterally at the staff level

2234
02:20:18,712 --> 02:20:22,815
to reissue half a million more ballots. to the same

2235
02:20:22,875 --> 02:20:25,957
voters. And remember, here in Maryland, we have no protections

2236
02:20:26,037 --> 02:20:29,560
on our ballots. There's no voter ID. There is no

2237
02:20:30,160 --> 02:20:34,643
signature verification. And we're currently in another lawsuit because we

2238
02:20:34,723 --> 02:20:37,245
believe we have a million extra names on our voter

2239
02:20:37,265 --> 02:20:41,588
rolls. So there are two million ballots floating around the

2240
02:20:41,628 --> 02:20:46,871
state of Maryland. Oh, my goodness. Oh, gambling? Yeah, yeah,

2241
02:20:46,971 --> 02:20:50,414
there's no widespread voter fraud. Yeah, there's no voter fraud,

2242
02:20:50,414 --> 02:20:54,397
man. What are you worried about? So Chris donated $333.33.

2243
02:20:54,437 --> 02:21:00,281
He says, no note. Working toward knighthood. IMDB credits. Thank

2244
02:21:00,401 --> 02:21:04,403
you. Okay. You got it. Hey, Manuka Gold comes in

2245
02:21:04,503 --> 02:21:08,626
from Hudson, Florida with 33333. Thank you very much, Manuka

2246
02:21:08,686 --> 02:21:11,668
Gold. ITM gentlemen, we are happy to keep supporting what

2247
02:21:11,728 --> 02:21:14,270
you do. It is so much bigger than a podcast.

2248
02:21:14,810 --> 02:21:19,254
It's a community. Connection is protection. Having the courage to

2249
02:21:19,414 --> 02:21:21,655
shine a light on all these truths one show at

2250
02:21:21,695 --> 02:21:24,277
a time is changing lives. Yes, and the reason we

2251
02:21:24,317 --> 02:21:29,040
can do that is because of donor support. Exactly. John,

2252
02:21:29,100 --> 02:21:49,114
we're an American small family business. Ain't that the truth?

2253
02:21:49,254 --> 02:21:55,718
Yep. I'm going to refrain from any testimonial because I

2254
02:21:55,778 --> 02:22:01,342
know there's one coming. up later. Circadian. Circadian in Peoria,

2255
02:22:01,662 --> 02:22:09,067
Arizona. 257.94 comes in as the associate executive producer. Sorry,

2256
02:22:09,147 --> 02:22:12,890
John and Adam. I'm two days late. but not a

2257
02:22:12,950 --> 02:22:16,813
dollar short. You tugged at my pride in being an

2258
02:22:16,893 --> 02:22:21,616
American. Thanks for all you do. My amygdala is smaller

2259
02:22:22,116 --> 02:22:25,058
and my love of your podcast and this country is

2260
02:22:25,178 --> 02:22:31,383
bigger. Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing? Why

2261
02:22:31,383 --> 02:22:34,785
are you laughing? I just think it's a funny combination

2262
02:22:34,865 --> 02:22:41,430
of ideals. Happy Independence Day, Sir Cadian. Yes, and that's

2263
02:22:41,490 --> 02:22:45,852
250 plus fees of $7.94. Thank you. Rebecca Ha. She

2264
02:22:45,933 --> 02:22:50,115
comes in with 250 and she's in. She's in Rome,

2265
02:22:50,195 --> 02:22:55,059
in Italy. Serviteri. Oh, Rebecca Hall. Love you guys, the

2266
02:22:55,119 --> 02:22:57,601
trolls, dames and knights, and all the No Agenda fans

2267
02:22:57,721 --> 02:23:00,543
in the morning. This is my number four. Oh, that's

2268
02:23:00,583 --> 02:23:02,824
right. The number four of my countdown to damehood for

2269
02:23:02,864 --> 02:23:07,367
my July 18th birthday, turning 63, born in 63. Today

2270
02:23:07,427 --> 02:23:09,989
I thought I'd skip the 63 to celebrate America for

2271
02:23:10,029 --> 02:23:14,012
July 4th and send you $250. I'm so happy I

2272
02:23:14,072 --> 02:23:16,333
live in America. Oh, well, why are you sending it

2273
02:23:16,333 --> 02:23:21,677
from Italy? No Agenda, the greatest podcast in the universe

2274
02:23:21,697 --> 02:23:24,319
to help me sort through crazy news and news not

2275
02:23:24,399 --> 02:23:28,462
covered at all. You're both the best. My associate executive

2276
02:23:28,462 --> 02:23:31,384
producer note. Yes, that's what you get. I am a

2277
02:23:31,504 --> 02:23:34,726
voice actor with 15 plus years of performance experience and

2278
02:23:34,786 --> 02:23:38,188
would love to work with other no agenda businesses. My

2279
02:23:38,288 --> 02:23:42,731
voice is warm, relatable, strong, and wise. Well suited for

2280
02:23:42,811 --> 02:23:47,254
long or short form storytelling that requires authenticity, nuance, and

2281
02:23:47,354 --> 02:23:51,777
listener connection. I bring grounded authority and emotional depth to

2282
02:23:51,998 --> 02:23:55,480
every performance and I'm a no agenda fan. We call

2283
02:23:55,540 --> 02:23:57,842
that a producer. So if you want it, I can

2284
02:23:57,902 --> 02:24:00,523
bring the sass and the love like Adam and John

2285
02:24:00,603 --> 02:24:06,207
can too. Find me at lovethatrebecca.com. Woo, I can check

2286
02:24:06,267 --> 02:24:11,651
the pictures. Lovethatrebecca.com. You know what? I may, ah, man.

2287
02:24:12,332 --> 02:24:14,593
It's so hard to get a good female voice. AI

2288
02:24:14,893 --> 02:24:18,316
female voice. All AI voices are just kind of horrendous.

2289
02:24:19,436 --> 02:24:21,458
So if you have something you need a voice for,

2290
02:24:21,558 --> 02:24:26,821
then go to lovethatrebecca.com. Hugs from Rebecca Hall. And she

2291
02:24:26,921 --> 02:24:29,363
has a lot of XOXO's XO's there. Thank you so

2292
02:24:29,443 --> 02:24:37,969
much. Onward with Michelle Winton in Millington, Tennessee. A lot

2293
02:24:38,029 --> 02:24:41,912
of people are moving to Tennessee. 250. Donating even though

2294
02:24:42,032 --> 02:24:47,195
John was not helpful. J rules. Love and light to

2295
02:24:47,275 --> 02:24:53,900
you all. Do you know what happened? I have no

2296
02:24:53,900 --> 02:24:58,043
idea. No idea. Something happened. Something. I didn't answer a

2297
02:24:58,143 --> 02:25:00,825
no. I don't know. We deserve to know what happened.

2298
02:25:01,825 --> 02:25:05,608
Stefan Trockels in Soos, and he's in Deutschland, $250. Thank

2299
02:25:05,648 --> 02:25:08,690
you very much, Stefan. No stranger to the associate executive

2300
02:25:08,730 --> 02:25:11,952

The Honorable Knights and Dames might enjoy the fine jingle

2302
02:25:15,434 --> 02:25:18,437
of Putin on the Ritz and a Fletcher call-out for

2303
02:25:18,517 --> 02:25:24,581
Duke Nussbaum. Please, love you mean it. You're blue and

2304
02:25:24,601 --> 02:25:27,022
you don't know where there's fake news. Why don't you

2305
02:25:27,042 --> 02:25:33,347
get your Gitmo fix? Putin on the Reds. Dressed up

2306
02:25:33,527 --> 02:25:39,271
like a million dollar trooper. Trying not to look like

2307
02:25:39,371 --> 02:25:44,214
Anderson Cooper. Super Pooper! Come let's mix where John Podesta

2308

Florida, and he sends us $250, but no note. That

2323
02:27:02,007 --> 02:27:07,171
means he will receive a double-up karma. You've got... Harma.

2324

Here we go. We have Eli the Coffee Guy in

Manuka Gold, honey. Hey, their relief gel saved me after

2327
02:27:20,440 --> 02:27:25,563
an ankle injury doing... Fun dumb things over the 4th

2328
02:27:25,623 --> 02:27:30,807
of July weekend. Telling you this stuff works. I wonder,

2329
02:27:30,967 --> 02:27:33,709
swelling down, pain down, back on my feet at the

2330
02:27:33,769 --> 02:27:35,710
farmer's market the next day. I wonder if it was

2331
02:27:35,790 --> 02:27:40,093
an explosion involved. Good reminder why it pays to support

2332
02:27:40,253 --> 02:27:43,936
fellow no-agenda businesses first. We take care of our own.

2336
02:28:02,608 --> 02:28:06,711
Hi, John, Adam and John. Long-time listener, first-time donator. You've

2337
02:28:07,232 --> 02:28:12,695
been de-douched. You'll listen to so many politics and news

2338
02:28:12,775 --> 02:28:15,357
podcasts, and I'm now down to just the No Agenda

2339
02:28:15,417 --> 02:28:17,759
show, in addition to some celebrity gossip and true crime,

2340
02:28:17,799 --> 02:28:20,461
of course, LOL. My donation note is a request to

2341
02:28:20,521 --> 02:28:23,803
talk a bit more about the DSA op you guys

2342
02:28:23,943 --> 02:28:27,666
believe is afoot. That's the Democrats Socialists of America. On

2343
02:28:27,726 --> 02:28:30,728
the July 5th episode, you mentioned that this op behooves

2344
02:28:30,808 --> 02:28:34,550
Democrats and could also be a play to sideline Shapiro.

2345
02:28:35,171 --> 02:28:38,473
Well, on a previous episode, John discussed similarities to Nixon

2346
02:28:38,593 --> 02:28:42,496
defeating George McGovern in 72. Is your belief that the

2347
02:28:42,556 --> 02:28:46,959
three-letter agencies want to guarantee Republican presidency in 2028, or

2348
02:28:47,579 --> 02:28:51,262
is that a form of controlled opposition, i.e. gives disaffected

2349
02:28:51,362 --> 02:28:55,404
voters a movement to channel frustrations into without posing any

2350
02:28:55,524 --> 02:28:58,827
real threats to the current system of government? Very interested

2351
02:28:58,887 --> 02:29:02,709
in this topic. Would greatly appreciate further discussion and insights

2352
02:29:02,890 --> 02:29:07,393
on the show. Thanks, Gina. Well now. Well, the answer

2353
02:29:07,433 --> 02:29:11,195
is obvious. Of course they do. They want Vance or

2354
02:29:11,676 --> 02:29:16,099
Rubio, both of them stooges for the three-letter agency we

2355
02:29:16,139 --> 02:29:20,722
were talking about, in office because they'll be doing their

2356
02:29:20,782 --> 02:29:24,704
bidding. There you go. And I think, did I not

2357
02:29:24,784 --> 02:29:27,266
read somewhere? I mean, don't you remember when Rubio first

2358
02:29:27,326 --> 02:29:31,509
got pushed into the Secretary of State position? Everybody on

2359
02:29:31,589 --> 02:29:35,912
the right was bitching about, oh, this guy, he's sold

2360
02:29:36,032 --> 02:29:37,573
out, he's this, he's that, and the next thing you

2361
02:29:37,593 --> 02:29:40,055
know, he's the greatest thing ever. Yeah. Interesting. And then

2362
02:29:40,175 --> 02:29:42,477
Vance. Where did Vance come from? This guy came out

2363
02:29:42,537 --> 02:29:44,958
of the blue. This is kind of suspicious, don't you

2364
02:29:45,058 --> 02:29:51,202
think? Oh, now he's great. I mean, come on. And

2365
02:29:51,243 --> 02:29:53,244
then I was reading, I think I saw two, maybe

2366
02:29:53,384 --> 02:29:59,988
three articles that Newsom's polling is so horrible. nobody

2367
02:30:00,040 --> 02:30:05,823
He wants him as the Democratic presidential nominee because coming

2368
02:30:05,884 --> 02:30:10,287
up out of nowhere, who is it? Kamala Harris. Yeah,

2369
02:30:10,367 --> 02:30:12,408
well, I don't think they have the guts to run

2370
02:30:12,528 --> 02:30:15,190
her. I don't know, man. It's got to be AOC.

2371
02:30:15,430 --> 02:30:17,511
Come on, let's have some fun. Oh, wouldn't that be

2372
02:30:17,611 --> 02:30:22,415
lovely? Wouldn't that be amazing? Yeah, please, guys, for the

2373
02:30:22,455 --> 02:30:25,857
show. Please, do it for the show. Dude named Jeff.

2374

she is. Castle Rock, Colorado. Yeah, that's mine. I believe

2376
02:30:30,901 --> 02:30:33,722
that's mine. No, yes, you're right. I'm sorry. Go, go,

2377
02:30:33,782 --> 02:30:36,164
go, go, go, go. You're having nothing but trouble with

2378
02:30:36,224 --> 02:30:37,925
this. It's a bad day for me. That's because of

2379
02:30:37,985 --> 02:30:40,227
the two that you jumped the gun on. Yeah, that's

2380
02:30:40,287 --> 02:30:42,588
right. Well, it's because of the AI, man. It's ruining

2381
02:30:42,649 --> 02:30:48,833
the show. Linda Lou Patkin. What? Yeah, it is ruining

2382
02:30:48,893 --> 02:30:51,034
the show. It's ruining the show. In Castle Rock, Colorado,

2395
02:31:40,368 --> 02:31:42,369
dude named Jeff here. This is another installment towards my

2396
02:31:42,469 --> 02:31:44,551
knighthood to thank you for the immense value I get

2397
02:31:44,611 --> 02:31:47,433
from the best podcast in the universe. That's all we

2398
02:31:47,473 --> 02:31:50,315
need to hear, but he has more. On June 27th,

2399
02:31:50,395 --> 02:31:52,896
I married my keeper, who I met at a no-agenda

02:31:52,936 --> 02:31:57,159
meetup in Phoenix, Arizona, four years ago. Stop the train,

2401
02:31:57,399 --> 02:32:02,563
ladies and gentlemen. There it is. Connection is protection. That's

2402
02:32:02,643 --> 02:32:06,226
right. That is beautiful. In honor, we even had a

2403
02:32:06,326 --> 02:32:08,747
mini-meetup at the wedding and sent in a report. I

2404
02:32:08,827 --> 02:32:12,170
remember this. Right now, we're in Alaska with our friend

2405
02:32:12,230 --> 02:32:15,372
we met three years ago at the North Idaho Brigade

2406
02:32:15,432 --> 02:32:18,934
meetup. Connection is protection. Go to a no agenda meetup

2407
02:32:19,054 --> 02:32:21,676
or start your own. You might even meet your future

2408
02:32:21,796 --> 02:32:24,778

2413
02:32:49,415 --> 02:32:56,500

2425
02:33:41,971 --> 02:33:49,276
nice, albeit NPR-addicted fellow. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

02:34:22,719 --> 02:34:27,282
good. Is that true? I have no idea. There seems

02:44:06,452 --> 02:44:09,077

2557
02:44:09,478 --> 02:44:14,147

2558
02:44:14,167 --> 02:44:16,972
report from Oklahoma City. We will be having more shows

2559
02:44:17,013 --> 02:44:20,200
later this year, and Adam, here's an open invitation for

2560
02:44:20,260 --> 02:44:22,053
you. We're not that far from you. I hope to

2561
02:44:22,093 --> 02:44:24,757
see you soon. Not that far. That's true. If I

2562
02:44:24,777 --> 02:44:26,780
ever get a Holland, if I ever become a granddad,

2563
02:44:26,880 --> 02:44:28,522
then we'll see what we can do. Thank you very

2564
02:44:28,562 --> 02:44:30,886

2565
02:44:30,906 --> 02:44:34,050

matter of fact. So people, you know, I have my

2616
02:47:47,884 --> 02:47:51,881
thoughts on batteries. And at some point, you got to

2617
02:47:51,922 --> 02:47:56,418
say. Shouldn't it, should I be buying these re-chargeable lithium

2618
02:47:56,661 --> 02:47:59,643
ion batteries? Well that is a very good question. I

2619
02:47:59,663 --> 02:48:02,927
be buying these rechargeable lithium when it comes to these

2620
02:48:03,451 --> 02:48:13,906
Cratex K-R-A-T-A-X, 3,700 milliwatt hour. Whoa. AA rechargeable lithium batteries

2621
02:48:14,429 --> 02:48:19,778
with charger. 8-pack for 23 bucks. If you charge these

2622
02:48:19,879 --> 02:48:25,331
batteries four times, now the cost is the same as

2623
02:48:25,411 --> 02:48:29,941
it would be a cheap alkaline battery. And these particular

2624
02:48:30,021 --> 02:48:34,871
batteries are said, I have a hard time believing it,

2625
02:48:35,433 --> 02:48:40,611
but should be rechargeable for two. thousand cycles get out

2626
02:48:40,691 --> 02:48:46,438
of town making these batteries Not only powerful. with an

2627
02:48:47,103 --> 02:48:55,243
amazing current. But, uh... Basically free. Free? Free. Well, I

2628
02:48:55,283 --> 02:49:00,290
mean, after you charge something. So one battery is like,

2629
02:49:00,329 --> 02:49:06,344
in this case, like $4. Wait, four times, yeah. Let's

2630
02:49:06,385 --> 02:49:09,452
say $3 plus the charger. The battery is probably about

2631
02:49:09,493 --> 02:49:15,811
a $3 battery. And after charging it... 2,000 times, it

2632
02:49:15,893 --> 02:49:19,504
becomes like... It costs you like a penny for the

2633
02:49:19,565 --> 02:49:22,773
battery. Well, what about the energy that it costs to

2634
02:49:23,355 --> 02:49:26,845
create? It doesn't really use that much to recharge these

2635
02:49:26,906 --> 02:49:32,835
things. So anyway, this is the Cratex KR, and they're

2636
02:49:32,855 --> 02:49:39,424
actually kind of an attractive battery, KRATAX 3700 milliwatt. hour

2637
02:49:40,025 --> 02:49:45,298
double a rechargeable lithiums uh 23 bucks for eight that
