1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,163
He's full of shit. Larry Blytner. Darren O'Neill. It's Thursday,

2
00:00:06,304 --> 00:00:09,966
August 6th, 2026. This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination,

3
00:00:09,986 --> 00:00:15,770
episode 1892. This is no agenda. Yeah, we're broadcasting live

4
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:18,832
from just outside of Chirac, right here in FEMA Region

5
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:22,434
number 5. In the morning, everybody. I am Darren O'Neill.

6
00:00:23,795 --> 00:00:26,617
And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydener

7
00:00:26,677 --> 00:00:29,779
keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar

8
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:35,243
of truth. It's Darren and Larry in the morning. At

9
00:00:35,283 --> 00:00:37,684
least you've never seen Bernie Sanders outside your door or

10
00:00:37,724 --> 00:00:40,946
anything, right? Well, not yet, but anything can happen. You

11
00:00:40,966 --> 00:00:44,829
know that. Exactly. That's why you have to be prepared.

12
00:00:45,489 --> 00:00:47,991
There's a lot of honk if you love Bernie bumper

13
00:00:48,051 --> 00:00:50,573
stickers or crap like that around here. Really? That's a

14
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:53,875
thing? It's kind of, you know, he still sustains, doesn't

15
00:00:53,955 --> 00:00:56,777
he? You know, the guy's 2,000 years old and, you

16
00:00:57,477 --> 00:01:01,240
know, he's still spreading his commie lies. Do you remember

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,362
the good old days when it was, oh, he's just

18
00:01:04,422 --> 00:01:07,464
that crazy Bernie. He's never, Commie, it's never going to

19
00:01:07,524 --> 00:01:11,046
do anything. Socialism will never take foot. He's just, he's

20
00:01:11,086 --> 00:01:14,688
just that one crazy guy that gets elected. Oh, yeah.

21
00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:17,270
There's been a succession of crazy guys, you know, for

22
00:01:17,290 --> 00:01:21,133
a century. Gus Hall, he was the, every election he

23
00:01:21,233 --> 00:01:23,855
ran as the Commie candidate. I think he ran like

24
00:01:23,935 --> 00:01:27,397
nine elections or something. There was someone before him. It's

25
00:01:27,437 --> 00:01:31,119
not new. to say Bernie. Nothing new under the sun

26
00:01:31,199 --> 00:01:35,002
except they are multiplying. Oh, they certainly are. Oh my

27
00:01:35,082 --> 00:01:37,504
God, are they? It's very scary. And we have a

28
00:01:37,684 --> 00:01:41,266
very exciting show today. The Podfather will be joining us.

29
00:01:42,006 --> 00:01:44,608
That is cool. That is a rock and groove, baby.

30
00:01:45,108 --> 00:01:47,170
He's going to finally pull our plug. No doubt about

31
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:53,014
it. Hey, it's his show, man. I get it. We

32
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:55,615
know, we know we're not Adam, we're not John, but

33
00:01:55,675 --> 00:02:00,018
boost and donate. And if you want media, construction we

34
00:02:00,158 --> 00:02:03,020
are doing. the best we can and having fun with

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,042
it. I know you. - We sure are. - You

36
00:02:05,162 --> 00:02:08,324
personally, you like to look for the negative comments and

37
00:02:08,924 --> 00:02:12,607
I mean that makes it even more fun. And there's

38
00:02:12,627 --> 00:02:15,949
always some to reward me. This is true. They've probably

39
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,290
got a lot of negative comments going in their timeline

40
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:22,433
as a poor Anthony Fauci, you know. Oh, man. He's

41
00:02:22,473 --> 00:02:26,876
had an avalanche of negative comments. Absolutely. Yeah. I saw

42
00:02:27,076 --> 00:02:30,138
one video where I think it was a dude from

43
00:02:30,278 --> 00:02:33,600
TMZ, which would make sense because you don't expect anybody

44
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:37,343
in the normal mainstream media to dare be out in

45
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:40,725
front of Anthony Fauci's house and be like, hey, so

46
00:02:41,125 --> 00:02:45,988
what about that? fifth 111 times. Mm-hmm. But of course,

47
00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:50,011
Fauci didn't answer that guy either. But Harvey Levin gave

48
00:02:50,051 --> 00:02:54,074
a glowing endorsement on his show, like the day of

49
00:02:54,094 --> 00:02:56,095
or the day after, just him, not even with his

50
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:59,497
sidekick, telling what a great guy he is and how

51
00:02:59,577 --> 00:03:01,959
wrong everyone is and we should revere him and so

52
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,360
on and so forth. And he even went back to

53
00:03:04,541 --> 00:03:07,603
the first time Fauci's head popped up like a whack-a-mole

54
00:03:08,123 --> 00:03:11,125
during the AIDS crisis. And I mean, there were guys

55
00:03:11,265 --> 00:03:15,528
that really were calling for his beheading back then. or

56
00:03:15,588 --> 00:03:18,230
vocal of them, was a guy named Larry Kramer. He

57
00:03:18,290 --> 00:03:22,192
was a very, very outspoken gay activist. And, man, he

58
00:03:22,773 --> 00:03:24,674
just went for Fauci's lungs. So I don't know what

59
00:03:24,714 --> 00:03:27,156
Harvey's thinking, but it's his show and his right to

60
00:03:27,195 --> 00:03:30,878
speak. You must protect Dr. Fauci at all costs. At

61
00:03:30,938 --> 00:03:36,021
all costs. Unless, of course, you are Aaron Rodgers. Now

62
00:03:36,021 --> 00:03:41,865
I'm gonna plead the fifth. Okay. Okay. Gotta love that.

63
00:03:43,646 --> 00:03:48,710
Like that absolute coward Tony Fletcher. Absolute coward. Are you

64
00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:51,351
kidding me? Yeah, 111 times. You got a pardon and

65
00:03:51,391 --> 00:03:55,054
you pleaded over 100 times at the White House? What

66
00:03:55,054 --> 00:03:56,755
are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the

67
00:03:56,795 --> 00:03:59,957
science. Yeah, yeah. I thought you were, I am science.

68
00:03:59,977 --> 00:04:01,158
And you get up there and you can't answer a

69
00:04:01,238 --> 00:04:03,559
question? Yeah. What are we doing? And how much time

70
00:04:03,579 --> 00:04:05,661
did the network spend on that? How much time did

71
00:04:05,701 --> 00:04:09,303
they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination

72
00:04:09,403 --> 00:04:15,027
status, on Taylor and Travis's wedding? Does that bother you?

73
00:04:15,287 --> 00:04:19,510
No, it's all important, very important news for the M5M.

74
00:04:19,570 --> 00:04:22,092
And he's got a point. I mean, when it was

75
00:04:22,192 --> 00:04:25,254
all going on, like, oh, can all of these sports,

76
00:04:25,394 --> 00:04:27,835
I mean, I think the NASCAR guys had to, you

77
00:04:28,015 --> 00:04:30,997
know, they're in a car by themselves with a helmet

78
00:04:31,098 --> 00:04:33,319
on. I mean, I don't know. Oh, yeah. And what

79
00:04:33,579 --> 00:04:37,322
Aaron did is that takes media construction to another level,

80
00:04:37,382 --> 00:04:40,103
which is as it happens. I mean, the guy with

81
00:04:40,103 --> 00:04:41,824
the worst job in the world at that moment was

82
00:04:41,885 --> 00:04:47,228
Pat McAfee. What must he have been thinking? I mean,

83
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:54,573
the fact is, this is... the fallout because of Anthony

84
00:04:54,673 --> 00:04:58,756
Fauci being not very smart. In writing all of these

85
00:04:58,856 --> 00:05:02,298
things onto a government servant, I heard from a Rob

86
00:05:02,378 --> 00:05:04,840
the Constitutional lawyer, he's like, the guy has to be

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,682
an idiot because everybody knows. Of course. It's government property.

88
00:05:08,802 --> 00:05:14,046
Right. All that can be FOIA'd. Even, you know, my

89
00:05:14,126 --> 00:05:16,367
wife works for the, you know, little village, and it's

90
00:05:16,427 --> 00:05:19,689
like, anything we do internally, we all know if there's

91
00:05:19,729 --> 00:05:21,471
a FOIA, this is all going out, so you have

92
00:05:21,491 --> 00:05:24,553
to be careful about what you say, Anthony. I read

93
00:05:24,613 --> 00:05:27,435
something today that they're looking for his texts. That might

94
00:05:27,454 --> 00:05:32,698
be his other chapter. Yeah, well, I heard they got

95
00:05:32,758 --> 00:05:34,559
his cell phone, so that would, although I don't think

96
00:05:34,599 --> 00:05:37,301
you need the cell phone to get the texts, although

97
00:05:37,381 --> 00:05:42,925
I guess. It might speed that up. And that's always

98
00:05:43,025 --> 00:05:50,329
a question when it comes to... how these politicians communicate

99
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:54,432
because if it's anything official It's supposed to be in

100
00:05:54,452 --> 00:05:59,015
a way that will be. Down in the annals of

101
00:05:59,095 --> 00:06:02,057
history where people, you're not supposed to use, like Hillary,

102
00:06:02,137 --> 00:06:06,560
you know, your own email server. Sure. run things that

103
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,102
way. So it's interesting to see, you know, who's smart

104
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:14,305
enough or who's not. I think a good financial play

105
00:06:14,385 --> 00:06:18,588
would be to invest in a flock of carrier pigeons

106
00:06:18,748 --> 00:06:20,930
at this point because you might have some privacy. And

107
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:23,932
I guess they work pretty good in their day. They

108
00:06:24,012 --> 00:06:27,814
got back and forth somehow. Yes. Greg Jarrett, of course,

109
00:06:27,894 --> 00:06:30,576
on Fox is talking about the diary here. See if

110
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:34,478
charges can be brought. But look, Senator Paul has long

111
00:06:34,619 --> 00:06:40,002
argued Fauci lied and covered up COVID's origins. And his

112
00:06:40,342 --> 00:06:46,106
diary is self-incriminating. Publicly, Fauci insisted COVID came from a

113
00:06:46,186 --> 00:06:49,608
natural source. But you read his diary and privately he

114
00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:53,811
is conceding it likely came from the very lab that

115
00:06:53,931 --> 00:06:58,634
he had funded. the thing it's he lied it's not

116
00:06:58,694 --> 00:07:00,436
that he was an idiot it's not that he made

117
00:07:00,516 --> 00:07:05,319
mistakes oh no no It's because of the lies and

118
00:07:05,679 --> 00:07:10,042
that's exactly what... We have Rand Paul here. Rand Paul

119
00:07:10,182 --> 00:07:12,323
calling for a vote tomorrow on whether to... And really,

120
00:07:12,403 --> 00:07:15,125
I love the music underneath all this stuff. It's so

121
00:07:15,225 --> 00:07:17,947
great. You gotta keep... Because otherwise, Larry, the kids aren't

122
00:07:17,967 --> 00:07:21,730
gonna listen to a whole 38 seconds of news. Yeah,

123
00:07:21,850 --> 00:07:24,531
if it doesn't have a techno beat behind it. To

124
00:07:24,571 --> 00:07:27,754
hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after Fauci

125
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:32,196
pleaded the fifth 111 times during his testimony about the

126
00:07:32,196 --> 00:07:36,639
COVID-19 pandemic last week. Can you explain to the committee

127
00:07:36,779 --> 00:07:39,961
why you chose to fund this dangerous research in China?

128
00:07:42,143 --> 00:07:45,685
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer

129
00:07:46,306 --> 00:07:48,807
based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the

130
00:07:48,827 --> 00:07:51,329
Constitution. What day of the week is it today? I

131
00:07:51,389 --> 00:07:54,531
respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the

132
00:07:54,551 --> 00:08:00,675
Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. on the DOJ to pursue

133
00:08:00,695 --> 00:08:07,840
criminal charges against Fauci. question whether they will have any

134
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:11,602
charges. It's going to be tough. You know, a thought

135
00:08:11,722 --> 00:08:14,604
flashed through my mind a couple of nights ago for

136
00:08:14,664 --> 00:08:17,726
some unknown reason. I was looking at that movie The

137
00:08:17,866 --> 00:08:24,070
Irishman. And there's a scene in there where... Some mobster

138
00:08:24,171 --> 00:08:27,693
sitting on a witness stand. And that movie was made

139
00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:32,636
in 2018. And the attorney holds up his pen and

140
00:08:32,696 --> 00:08:35,318
says, what color is my pen? The guy says, I

141
00:08:35,618 --> 00:08:40,361
respectfully decline. So I kind of wonder if Josh Hawley

142
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:44,424
viewed that movie recently as well. Probably life imitating art

143
00:08:44,504 --> 00:08:48,306
aren't imitating life. That whole. round and round and it's

144
00:08:48,787 --> 00:08:53,250
interesting to see Who is jumping in on this? Who

145
00:08:53,510 --> 00:08:56,172
is avoiding it? Like you said, most of the mainstream

146
00:08:56,252 --> 00:09:00,895
media. A lot of liberal talking heads are, oh, we

147
00:09:00,975 --> 00:09:03,857
got to back Dr. Fauci. He was doing what he

148
00:09:03,937 --> 00:09:07,059
thought was right. Of course they do. Of course. Even

149
00:09:07,119 --> 00:09:12,262
though the admission. in his diary would tell you otherwise.

150
00:09:13,203 --> 00:09:16,345
Yes. But even Joe Rogan taking a victory lap on

151
00:09:16,465 --> 00:09:18,826
Fauci. Do you hear this one? Not really. We are

152
00:09:18,886 --> 00:09:22,269
right now in the middle of the Fauci hearings. Yes,

153
00:09:22,309 --> 00:09:25,691
we are. He is now testifying in front of Congress

154
00:09:25,891 --> 00:09:28,233
and pleading the fifth about everything, including the color of

155
00:09:28,253 --> 00:09:33,256
his tie. It's very weird to watch. In one way,

156
00:09:33,316 --> 00:09:36,478
it's like I told you to a lot of my

157
00:09:36,558 --> 00:09:38,399
liberal friends that wanted to pretend that he was a

158
00:09:38,419 --> 00:09:43,543
great guy and that he wasn't doing anything wrong. shows

159
00:09:43,643 --> 00:09:47,745
that he knew that the fatality rate was much lower

160
00:09:47,946 --> 00:09:50,467
than they were saying. He knew that it wasn't dangerous

161
00:09:50,487 --> 00:09:53,509
for children, that they didn't need vaccines. He knew that

162
00:09:53,589 --> 00:09:57,912
the social distancing thing was all nonsense. And he's got

163
00:09:57,912 --> 00:10:00,514
a blanket pardon for 10 years. And the thing is,

164
00:10:00,654 --> 00:10:04,636
it's like, These people get money for research, and that's

165
00:10:04,636 --> 00:10:06,898
what they do. They do research. So if you get

166
00:10:06,978 --> 00:10:09,019
money and you get grants for research, well, you're going

167
00:10:09,019 --> 00:10:12,542
to go do research. And if your research is gain-of-function

168
00:10:12,682 --> 00:10:17,585
research that makes viruses more infectious to human beings, and,

169
00:10:17,705 --> 00:10:19,206
you know, you have to do it because that's your

170
00:10:19,226 --> 00:10:20,927
job. That's what you do. That's what you studied. That's

171
00:10:20,927 --> 00:10:24,710
what you went to school for. What a crazy fucking

172
00:10:24,770 --> 00:10:28,212
thing we're doing. Yeah. I don't know that anywhere on

173
00:10:28,312 --> 00:10:33,055
Fauci's job description it stated do gain-of-function. research. Somehow I

174
00:10:33,115 --> 00:10:36,337
think that was determined by a cabal of similar creeps

175
00:10:36,397 --> 00:10:40,340
to himself. Just a guess. Well, because it's very hard.

176
00:10:41,761 --> 00:10:46,104
to imagine a world where that is used for a

177
00:10:46,124 --> 00:10:51,087
nefarious reason because you could sell it to the average

178
00:10:51,387 --> 00:10:55,610
citizen you can sell this as Well, we're trying to

179
00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:58,732
do this so we can then be ahead of something

180
00:10:58,792 --> 00:11:00,974
like this that would happen so we would know how

181
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:06,757
to counteract it, but... But that's patent bullcrap. It's clearly

182
00:11:06,817 --> 00:11:10,059
that that phrase is just camouflage for a bioweapon. Yes.

183
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,121
You know, please. But this is how it's being sold,

184
00:11:13,182 --> 00:11:17,564
which is why people need to understand what words mean,

185
00:11:17,705 --> 00:11:20,967
why people are telling you certain things. Yes. And as

186
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:23,989
I always say, not some people are stupid. Most are

187
00:11:24,029 --> 00:11:29,952
stupid. Because they've checked out. They don't pay attention. The

188
00:11:30,373 --> 00:11:33,895
news, I mean, it was bad enough when they were

189
00:11:33,935 --> 00:11:36,797
going to Jon Stewart for their news. Now people are

190
00:11:36,817 --> 00:11:44,662
going to TikTok. impossible to believe. I put TikTok on

191
00:11:44,702 --> 00:11:49,505
the same plane as Stuart. Well, they're kind of equaling

192
00:11:49,666 --> 00:11:52,968
out. Yeah. Because Stuart, I saw, and I think we

193
00:11:53,028 --> 00:11:55,629
might even have the clip. It probably won't. We got

194
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:59,392
lots of clips. Thanks to everybody for bringing those into

195
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:04,355
us, like Steve Jones, the clip collector. It is kind

196
00:12:04,435 --> 00:12:07,037
of interesting when you see like Jon Stewart going up

197
00:12:07,157 --> 00:12:13,901
against Fetterman and just being, it's all. just politics. It

198
00:12:13,981 --> 00:12:17,804
has nothing to do with being human. It has nothing

199
00:12:17,944 --> 00:12:22,387
to do with logic and understanding. And it's getting... kind

200
00:12:22,467 --> 00:12:25,689
of said. What's with the human? We know they're reptiles.

201
00:12:25,869 --> 00:12:27,811
Alex Jones told them. I mean, David Icke told us.

202
00:12:28,431 --> 00:12:34,195
Come on. They're probably correct. One more big reaction to

203
00:12:34,315 --> 00:12:37,457
the Fauci thing. This one from a guy that you

204
00:12:37,537 --> 00:12:39,698
and I have played a bunch over on Planet Rage.

205
00:12:39,698 --> 00:12:42,420
You didn't hear as much around Noah Jenda yet, but

206
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,603
Stephen A. Smith, who has been mentioned, is a possible

207
00:12:46,723 --> 00:12:51,686
Democrat presidential candidate. Not that I believe. He has any

208
00:12:51,866 --> 00:12:55,669
chance in hell, but... I think he would do better

209
00:12:55,689 --> 00:12:58,110
than a lot of them. I mean, I would take

210
00:12:58,170 --> 00:13:06,996
him personally before. or your California Governor Newsom or Kamala,

211
00:13:07,156 --> 00:13:11,639
any of those. And this was his take on the

212
00:13:11,719 --> 00:13:14,921
Fauci thing. Do I think that he should be embarrassed

213
00:13:15,342 --> 00:13:18,404
for the self-adulation that he engaged in? You're damn right

214
00:13:18,484 --> 00:13:22,286
I do. some of the things that he was telling

215
00:13:22,326 --> 00:13:25,408
us to do was inconsistent with science, but he was

216
00:13:25,508 --> 00:13:27,810
telling us it was science that led to him making

217
00:13:27,830 --> 00:13:32,573
the decisions that he made. 6 feet distancing. The closing

218
00:13:32,713 --> 00:13:40,638
of businesses. Businesses. push those mandates upon people like me

219
00:13:40,738 --> 00:13:48,543
and others. vaccine And I took a booster. I wore

220
00:13:48,584 --> 00:13:52,926
a mask. You ain't gonna get COVID if you do

221
00:13:52,986 --> 00:13:56,209
that, and I got COVID. Pandemic had almost killed me.

222
00:13:57,730 --> 00:14:01,772
I'm in the hospital 90 minutes before the ball is

223
00:14:01,832 --> 00:14:05,455
about to drop and the doctor says We've been at

224
00:14:05,475 --> 00:14:09,377
this for three plus weeks. I doubled them on you.

225
00:14:09,417 --> 00:14:19,084
You look really bad. This antibiotic. And it's steroid. Does

226
00:14:19,164 --> 00:14:22,486
not work. Smith, I'm sorry, we're going to have to

227
00:14:22,526 --> 00:14:27,529
call your family. Looks that bad. But we should know

228
00:14:27,549 --> 00:14:29,911
in three hours. And through the grace of God, three

229
00:14:29,931 --> 00:14:32,933
hours later, I felt better after they gave me. That's

230
00:14:32,953 --> 00:14:39,257
steroid. and that antibiotic. Those were the longest three hours

231
00:14:39,277 --> 00:14:45,001
of my life because I thought it was over. And

232
00:14:45,041 --> 00:14:48,203
I remember I had done exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci

233
00:14:48,483 --> 00:14:51,605
was imploring us all to do. We'll say Stephen A.

234
00:14:51,725 --> 00:14:55,808
Smith is right up there with Glenn Beck using silence.

235
00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:59,730
You know, I like what he says.

236
00:15:00,059 --> 00:15:03,282
His style always grates on me. And it's as simple,

237
00:15:03,422 --> 00:15:06,064
it could be summarized with this. I'm going to scream.

238
00:15:06,064 --> 00:15:08,365
I'm going to whisper. I'm going to scream. I'm going

239
00:15:08,485 --> 00:15:10,947
to whisper. Come on, man. You're not running a revival

240
00:15:11,047 --> 00:15:14,789
meeting. There's a goddamn microphone at your lips. Okay? And

241
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:18,152
I think it functions. You don't have to scream, Stevie.

242
00:15:18,652 --> 00:15:21,214
Thank you. But it's the same reason people put music

243
00:15:21,414 --> 00:15:25,236
behind the clips. It's an engagement tactic. And I think

244
00:15:25,317 --> 00:15:27,718
it works for them. Not to me. Not to me.

245
00:15:27,718 --> 00:15:31,100
I hear music behind the tracks. at ball four man

246
00:15:32,041 --> 00:15:35,523
but the message he was bringing there is why this

247
00:15:35,604 --> 00:15:41,307
should not be a political topic this should be people

248
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:49,053
on both sides being very upset that the guy one

249
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:55,897
resource to go to. who had degrees who were studying

250
00:15:55,957 --> 00:16:01,401
this were like, And then we're shut down because Dr.

251
00:16:01,501 --> 00:16:08,906
Fauci disagreed while... So making money. according to the news

252
00:16:08,966 --> 00:16:15,490
reports having Like, hey, shouldn't you give this award? He

253
00:16:15,630 --> 00:16:21,394
needs the money. Fauci, he deserves all the And more.

254
00:16:21,655 --> 00:16:24,637
And now I understand there's three steps. about to level

255
00:16:24,877 --> 00:16:34,583
a chart. which may not... conflict. Joey provides. forget who

256
00:16:39,707 --> 00:17:00,301
And there were, there were. being cooked. Why aren't there?

257
00:17:00,321 --> 00:17:03,323
It's a good question. I mean, because most of it

258
00:17:03,383 --> 00:17:06,365
is politics. Most of it is they don't want to

259
00:17:07,425 --> 00:17:11,088
go after their own. I mean, this is fair. You

260
00:17:11,128 --> 00:17:15,091
know, it's kind of understandable being that we before the

261
00:17:15,151 --> 00:17:24,097
Donald Trump thing, we had never. for and in the

262
00:17:24,197 --> 00:17:27,339
federal government. But I think the true answer to this

263
00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:33,283
is simply the unbreakable alliance between the billions, trillions of

264
00:17:33,363 --> 00:17:37,205
big pharma and the deep state. They function as one.

265
00:17:37,326 --> 00:17:42,049
They're buddies. So that's what the power structure is, really.

266
00:17:42,829 --> 00:17:45,371
Look at what was Bobby the K saying for months

267
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:48,813
before he took office. I'm going to stop television advertising

268
00:17:48,873 --> 00:17:52,136
for pharmaceuticals. What happened to that? He doesn't even mention

269
00:17:52,236 --> 00:17:55,138
that. anymore you know no and they're still running them

270
00:17:55,398 --> 00:18:01,102
non-stop yes of course drugs drugs drugs ask your doctor

271
00:18:01,202 --> 00:18:03,683
not well your doctor knows best he'll know what drug

272
00:18:03,763 --> 00:18:05,825
to put you know which when we were growing up

273
00:18:05,965 --> 00:18:08,767
i know we're not you know 150 years old or

274
00:18:08,827 --> 00:18:11,248
anything but when we were growing up there were no

275
00:18:11,949 --> 00:18:15,211
massive amounts of drug ads on television there were no

276
00:18:15,431 --> 00:18:18,133
no no not massive the only there were no prescription

277
00:18:18,193 --> 00:18:20,435
drugs period the only thing you could see was was

278
00:18:20,535 --> 00:18:25,698
excedrin and and maybe a cough medicine. Get that Robitussin.

279
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:28,320
That was it. The prescription, I think it was banned

280
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,682
until sometime in the 1980s. And the only other place

281
00:18:30,702 --> 00:18:32,783
where they do this crap is in New Zealand. The

282
00:18:32,783 --> 00:18:36,946
rest of the entire globe bans pharmaceutical ads on television.

283
00:18:37,566 --> 00:18:42,830
Well, yeah, because it elevates the drug companies above the

284
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:47,413
medical professionals. Of course. Well, the doctors have become errand

285
00:18:47,453 --> 00:18:50,375
boys. They're not doctors anymore. I told you the last

286
00:18:50,415 --> 00:18:52,736
time I went to the cardiologist, you're a provider. medical

287
00:18:52,817 --> 00:18:57,800
provider will be with you. Like, no, that's not the

288
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,323
way it works. It is, it is, it's unbelievable when

289
00:19:02,363 --> 00:19:05,025
the drugs, and then you've got like usually 60 to

290
00:19:05,105 --> 00:19:07,646
90 seconds of this is the side effects that might

291
00:19:07,686 --> 00:19:10,228
happen, including death on most of them. Oh yeah. Love

292
00:19:10,268 --> 00:19:14,471
those side effects, man. Exploding kidneys, loss of sight. It's

293
00:19:14,871 --> 00:19:17,473
like, wow. But people still, yeah, give me that stuff.

294
00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:19,955
I'll take that. Ask your doctor about, I mean, no,

295
00:19:20,435 --> 00:19:23,837
tell your, let your doctor. figure out what you have

296
00:19:23,978 --> 00:19:26,499
and then figure out the best treatment you should never

297
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:30,242
be walking into a doctor's office saying hey i heard

298
00:19:30,282 --> 00:19:32,743
about this drug can i go but they do of

299
00:19:32,783 --> 00:19:36,306
course they're doing that yeah especially those uh those ozempic

300
00:19:36,386 --> 00:19:40,128
stuff whoa now you've got another fauci clip here as

301
00:19:40,208 --> 00:19:42,850
well the uh yes i have i have one more

302
00:19:43,130 --> 00:19:45,792
and uh you know as as we know there are

303
00:19:45,832 --> 00:19:50,275
allegedly four million podcasts out there in the world well

304
00:19:50,575 --> 00:20:19,675
it looks like there's gonna be four million and one.

305
00:20:22,477 --> 00:20:27,460
and Cadillac government pensions. And besides the money, millions of

306
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:31,523
people still love me. People who know that I still

307
00:20:31,963 --> 00:20:36,406
am the science. I get respect from big people who

308
00:20:36,506 --> 00:20:41,970
really matter like Julia Roberts. And Barbara Streisand, they all

309
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:45,993
love me, especially Barbara, who I taught how to speak

310
00:20:46,353 --> 00:20:50,396
with Alexa as I was diagnosing the carbuncle on her

311
00:20:50,496 --> 00:20:55,379
buttocks. Yeah, I'm a multitasker. And why do I refer

312
00:20:55,439 --> 00:20:58,481
to a lot of people as big people? Because I'm

313
00:20:58,541 --> 00:21:05,486
only 5'2". I'll tell you, I'm hung like a palomino,

314
00:21:05,926 --> 00:21:09,208
and women can sense that. Even if they're ancient and

315
00:21:09,269 --> 00:21:14,972
their sinuses are calcified with Botox, somehow they're sniff out

316
00:21:15,092 --> 00:21:20,276
my machismo. Now besides my medical tip, I'm gonna guide

317
00:21:20,376 --> 00:21:23,958
you on a journey into new worlds of other science

318
00:21:24,078 --> 00:21:31,443
like numerology. Asians think 8 is a lucky number. Americans

319
00:21:31,503 --> 00:21:35,446
think it's 7. They don't know squat. The true lucky

320
00:21:35,546 --> 00:21:40,389
number is 5. Five fingers, right? Try swinging your pick-a-ball

321
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:43,712
paddle with 3. It takes 5 cards to make a

322
00:21:43,772 --> 00:21:49,476
royal flush. And constitutional amendment number 5. That's a mountain

323
00:21:49,556 --> 00:21:53,018
of luck in one little sentence. So get on over

324
00:21:53,078 --> 00:21:58,221
to ttass.com Fridays at 5 Eastern. I tip you, you

325
00:21:58,362 --> 00:22:01,584
tip me. I take Zelle Venmo, Cash App, and Visa.

326
00:22:01,584 --> 00:22:07,007
No Amex, sorry. See ya. Wow. It had to happen,

327
00:22:07,087 --> 00:22:09,469
didn't it? No, no. It's a producer mode that should

328
00:22:09,469 --> 00:22:11,110
have been quicker. That should have been in and out

329
00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:14,993
in like 40... but I know people like the Dr.

330
00:22:15,073 --> 00:22:18,175
Fauci voice. And I mean, it's one of those things

331
00:22:18,195 --> 00:22:23,439
that could... Who knows? It had to be said, though.

332
00:22:23,499 --> 00:22:25,300
Well, he might need a podcast if he has to

333
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:29,222
have more bills for all of his lawyers. Yeah, it's

334
00:22:29,242 --> 00:22:31,864
going to add up for him. I mean, he's not

335
00:22:31,944 --> 00:22:35,767
Musk. He can't hang forever. And if these three states

336
00:22:36,107 --> 00:22:39,830
start to bedevil him, you're going to see some GoFundMes.

337
00:22:40,490 --> 00:22:43,912
Who's paying for his lawyers now? He had like a

338
00:22:43,992 --> 00:22:46,994
whole team of them. Six of them. Six of them.

339
00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:49,116
And one got bounced. That was a very funny scene.

340
00:22:49,196 --> 00:22:52,618
Because you can't take the fifth and then have somebody

341
00:22:52,818 --> 00:22:59,083
else. to trying to back you up. But, you know,

342
00:22:59,143 --> 00:23:01,424
this whole thing comes down again. We were all here

343
00:23:01,544 --> 00:23:05,987
for the vaccine and we had the audio on no

344
00:23:06,067 --> 00:23:08,489
agenda of all the people. I'm not going to take

345
00:23:08,609 --> 00:23:12,892
a Donald Trump vaccine. But that changed magically then. Yeah.

346
00:23:13,512 --> 00:23:16,955
Once it became the Biden administration and you brought on

347
00:23:17,075 --> 00:23:22,158
the last show a clip from this RFK with Dana

348
00:23:22,218 --> 00:23:25,040
Bash. And this went on much longer. We have an

349
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,442
extended clip of things that we didn't even hear, which

350
00:23:27,582 --> 00:23:33,386
I thought was. was quite interesting. But you were saying...

351
00:23:33,406 --> 00:23:36,948
You were part of the problem. No, I wasn't. It

352
00:23:37,008 --> 00:23:42,512
was a- practice. You weren't allowing your job. Mr. Secretary,

353
00:23:43,272 --> 00:23:47,715
your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you

354
00:23:47,795 --> 00:23:52,839
weren't doing that. My job is also... No, okay, are

355
00:23:52,879 --> 00:23:54,480
you going to... You want to sit here and attack

356
00:23:54,580 --> 00:24:05,808
me? I like that we have a CNN anchor speaking

357
00:24:05,968 --> 00:24:12,552
to somebody like this like they're in kindergarten. It's just

358
00:24:13,333 --> 00:24:17,856
beyond the pale, really. You know, it's like, I'm not

359
00:24:17,896 --> 00:24:23,399
going to sit here. It's very strange. Yeah. Journalists, uh,

360
00:24:25,321 --> 00:24:30,985
I don't know if they have journal- classes anymore. Not

361
00:24:31,005 --> 00:24:33,326
in too many places. A lot of colleges have cancelled

362
00:24:33,386 --> 00:24:35,988
it because they know it's a dying art. It is.

363
00:24:36,088 --> 00:24:38,129
I guess you can't make much money because now AI

364
00:24:38,329 --> 00:24:41,792
is just You're going to take a few little blurbs

365
00:24:41,932 --> 00:24:45,835
from your favorite social media and then create a story

366
00:24:45,835 --> 00:24:50,838
that does that. real proof behind it. But I remember

367
00:24:50,918 --> 00:24:55,241
taking a simple journalism class back in the day and

368
00:24:55,281 --> 00:25:00,324
it was who what, where, and how. Those were the

369
00:25:00,344 --> 00:25:03,647
five things that had to be in every story. And

370
00:25:03,687 --> 00:25:07,549
I guess if you go and try to break down

371
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:09,671
the stories you're seeing today, whether you're listening or not,

372
00:25:11,072 --> 00:25:14,714
or reading them, I bet you most are missing multiple

373
00:25:14,794 --> 00:25:23,720
parts of that equation. I'm not attacking you. I'm asking

374
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,682
questions about how to prevent the next. I'm not attacking

375
00:25:26,702 --> 00:25:29,464
you. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking questions, Larry.

376
00:25:31,465 --> 00:25:34,167
But I mean, they're very pointed and rude questions. I'm

377
00:25:34,227 --> 00:25:37,449
just asking questions. Like, why are you a crook? You

378
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:41,192
know, I'm just asking. Why are you being dishonest? I'm

379
00:25:41,252 --> 00:25:46,736
just asking questions! what I'm trying to do but I

380
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:51,439
also don't want to use this interview to allow you

381
00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:55,141
to say things that aren't entirely true. Talking about therapeutics,

382
00:25:55,181 --> 00:26:01,686
fine. factually true that the COVID vaccine worked. Factually true.

383
00:26:01,846 --> 00:26:09,211
Whoa! Let's back up. second. Worked for whom? Wow. Wow.

384
00:26:09,431 --> 00:26:11,973
She should talk to Stephen A. Smith. He got vaxxed.

385
00:26:12,013 --> 00:26:15,015
He got boosted. He almost croaked. Yeah. Worked great. Worked

386
00:26:15,075 --> 00:26:18,077
perfect. Didn't hurt anybody either. There were no side effects

387
00:26:18,157 --> 00:26:22,079
at all. There's only two answers to this question, Darren.

388
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,462
She's either a complete imbecile or she's getting some piles

389
00:26:26,522 --> 00:26:31,166
of Skrilla from the pharmaceutical people to say that. I'm

390
00:26:31,226 --> 00:26:34,908
guessing the pharmaceutical people do put some money towards advertising

391
00:26:35,008 --> 00:26:41,152
on CNN. They certainly do. We know that CNN... To

392
00:26:41,252 --> 00:26:44,575
make that kind of statement in these times after all

393
00:26:46,116 --> 00:26:49,938
mind-blowing. It really is. Yes, there was another story that

394
00:26:50,018 --> 00:26:53,801
was breaking, breaking this week that there were no good

395
00:26:53,901 --> 00:27:00,826
clips on. But there was an initiative called the Tarbell

396
00:27:01,546 --> 00:27:08,511
Fellowship. Tarbell Fellowship. has nothing to do with the Fauci

397
00:27:08,631 --> 00:27:13,994
or the vaccine, but it is about AI and paying

398
00:27:14,135 --> 00:27:18,317
people to cover stories. So as we move on over

399
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:21,119
the next week or two, this may more and more

400
00:27:21,199 --> 00:27:24,502
come out. But it seems that there is a third

401
00:27:24,602 --> 00:27:30,165
party paying the people to write about AI. is then

402
00:27:30,285 --> 00:27:33,748
being published in places like, well, you know, the New

403
00:27:33,788 --> 00:27:37,310
York Times or CNN or all of these outlets. So,

404
00:27:37,370 --> 00:27:40,692
you know, you can trust the reporting. Trust the science.

405
00:27:41,033 --> 00:27:44,535
When the money is coming. You know, a third party

406
00:27:44,595 --> 00:27:49,839
that maybe... maybe wants to push you in one direction

407
00:27:49,959 --> 00:27:56,563
or not. But RFK, he and Dana Bash continue to

408
00:27:56,923 --> 00:28:01,346
argue, which is, and rightfully so, once she just dropped

409
00:28:01,406 --> 00:28:06,150
that bombshell. I think that what I have talked to...

410
00:28:09,212 --> 00:28:12,254
Can you show me one study? Yes, I can. It

411
00:28:12,354 --> 00:28:16,236
shows that children were protected by the COVID vaccine. I

412
00:28:16,317 --> 00:28:20,259
can tell you that there are... harm to children. Can

413
00:28:20,339 --> 00:28:22,901
you show me one study that shows that? I can

414
00:28:22,981 --> 00:28:26,023
tell you that when it comes to the vaccine, there

415
00:28:26,043 --> 00:28:31,947
have been studies... that because of vaccine disinformation, disinformation, there

416
00:28:32,007 --> 00:28:37,471
could have been... thousand lives in the U.S. saved because

417
00:28:37,571 --> 00:28:40,553
people didn't get the vaccine. I'm not saying that it

418
00:28:40,653 --> 00:28:44,235
entirely... You are saying nonsense. You are saying something that

419
00:28:44,335 --> 00:28:49,039
you can... I am not saying nonsense. You are talking

420
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:55,103
like... There's an ISO. I am not saying nonsense. Well,

421
00:28:55,323 --> 00:29:00,026
he asked very specifically if she could name a study

422
00:29:00,106 --> 00:29:05,129
that showed that the COVID vaccine did not do... than

423
00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:08,332
good to children. I'll bet you she could show such

424
00:29:08,412 --> 00:29:10,633
a study and it would be totally bogus and Bobby

425
00:29:10,733 --> 00:29:13,155
could shoot out the guts of it in two seconds.

426
00:29:13,395 --> 00:29:15,096
Well, yeah, but she didn't. I mean, that's the beauty.

427
00:29:15,176 --> 00:29:18,138
She's like, yes, I can. There's probably something. I mean,

428
00:29:18,178 --> 00:29:20,420
there was when it was in progress. There was all

429
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,681
kinds of bogus information. They were floating in front of

430
00:29:22,721 --> 00:29:25,943
people's faces and it was lies. But she said she

431
00:29:26,003 --> 00:29:27,725
could do it right there and then didn't when he's

432
00:29:27,725 --> 00:29:30,947
like, okay, what? She's a bigger coward than Fauci. Oh,

433
00:29:31,027 --> 00:29:35,570
yeah. Okay. I am not saying nonsense. You are talking

434
00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:38,952
like somebody told you. Stop. That's the way to put

435
00:29:39,012 --> 00:29:45,797
that. Excuse me! Yes. Again, this is somebody that's supposed

436
00:29:45,877 --> 00:29:51,481
to be covering the news in a serious manner. No.

437
00:29:52,662 --> 00:29:56,664
not saying nonsense. You are talking what somebody told you.

438
00:29:57,064 --> 00:29:59,946
Excuse me. What?

439
00:30:00,220 --> 00:30:02,981
What study? No, what studies are you talking about? You're

440
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:05,963
talking about studies that actually don't exist. I want to

441
00:30:06,024 --> 00:30:08,605
talk about... Cite me the study that you're talking about.

442
00:30:08,605 --> 00:30:09,726
I am not here to defend... You say you're seeing

443
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:13,589
studies. Cite me the study. This is not productive. I

444
00:30:13,649 --> 00:30:16,451
am not here to defend all of the... You're talking

445
00:30:16,511 --> 00:30:20,333
nonsense. You're making assertions. You can't support it. Yeah, I'm

446
00:30:20,393 --> 00:30:22,595
not here to support what I'm saying. It's like, but

447
00:30:22,635 --> 00:30:25,857
you're the one saying it, madam. She's the one that

448
00:30:25,937 --> 00:30:29,019
brought it up. Yeah. He's the guest on her show.

449
00:30:29,179 --> 00:30:32,341
She's being argumentative and he's asking her for proof and

450
00:30:32,381 --> 00:30:33,902
she says, I can give you proof. And you're like,

451
00:30:33,942 --> 00:30:35,804
okay. And then it's like, well, I mean, we're not

452
00:30:35,844 --> 00:30:38,465
right now. I can't give you any proof. But like

453
00:30:38,505 --> 00:30:41,788
so many of these people, it comes from their incredible

454
00:30:41,948 --> 00:30:45,370
ego. that they have. Let's look at who the participants

455
00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:49,793
are here. Dana Bash is a professional teleprompter reader. That's

456
00:30:49,913 --> 00:30:54,796
what she does. Bobby the K is a very, very

457
00:30:54,977 --> 00:30:59,620
top-flight successful litigator. You really don't want to get in

458
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,101
an argument with that guy unless your guns are properly

459
00:31:02,161 --> 00:31:04,283
loaded, and hers were not. And she should have known

460
00:31:04,323 --> 00:31:06,504
that going into that interview. You're not going to win

461
00:31:06,564 --> 00:31:09,346
with him unless you're really, really set to go and

462
00:31:09,366 --> 00:31:12,869
you're good with your verbiage. So she got her ass

463
00:31:12,969 --> 00:31:17,212
kicked. Sorry. It is a completely different skill set being

464
00:31:17,332 --> 00:31:20,774
able to... And there's a lot of really smart people

465
00:31:20,834 --> 00:31:24,136
who, given the time, could maybe come up with a

466
00:31:24,837 --> 00:31:29,460
coherent argument, but... There are other ones, like Marco Rubio

467
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:32,202
seems to be, and J.D. Vance, to a little lesser

468
00:31:32,262 --> 00:31:36,525
degree, very quick with the answers and able to back

469
00:31:36,625 --> 00:31:39,106
it up, which is why those interviews are always fun

470
00:31:39,166 --> 00:31:41,768
to watch as well. Have you noticed one guy that

471
00:31:41,828 --> 00:31:55,117
hasn't appeared anywhere at all? recently. Why would that be?

472
00:31:55,177 --> 00:31:59,020
You never know. Whatever happened to Vivek? Oh, right, he's

473
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,142
in Ohio, right? He's in Ohio. That's a forbidden zone.

474
00:32:02,482 --> 00:32:06,445
And this is the ending of that little three-part here.

475
00:32:07,345 --> 00:32:09,547
Let me just say, for the record, that I am

476
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:13,369
not saying that the entire way that the COVID reaction

477
00:32:13,730 --> 00:32:17,352
was accurate. It was a scary time, and people made

478
00:32:17,392 --> 00:32:21,075
mistakes. Absolutely. You were scaring people. Why are you saying

479
00:32:21,135 --> 00:32:24,417
that? Because that was the job of CNN. Okay. Okay,

480
00:32:24,437 --> 00:32:26,999
stop. Was to put the chyron's up about how many

481
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,301
people are dying. We were trying to be. Yeah, he's

482
00:32:30,361 --> 00:32:35,504
not wrong. Telling the truth. To be fair, it wasn't

483
00:32:35,564 --> 00:32:39,027
just CNN. It was Fox and ABC. I don't think

484
00:32:39,087 --> 00:32:45,271
there was one. news organization on television no that wasn't

485
00:32:45,371 --> 00:32:48,733
playing the johns hopkins numbers and reporting on them like

486
00:32:48,793 --> 00:32:53,857
every five minutes oh more people are dying Yeah. So

487
00:32:53,917 --> 00:32:56,939
it wasn't just CNN. The funny thing is, those John

488
00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:02,322
Hopkins numbers. the end of the movie, reveal the truth.

489
00:33:03,043 --> 00:33:09,087
Because America, with a mere 360 million people, had more

490
00:33:09,107 --> 00:33:11,769
than twice the number of deaths of any other nation

491
00:33:11,869 --> 00:33:14,771
on earth, including India, China, you know. So, hey, what

492
00:33:14,811 --> 00:33:19,454
went wrong in America? Hmm, something did. At that point,

493
00:33:19,474 --> 00:33:23,877
they stopped talking about Johns Hopkins. It was mishandled a

494
00:33:23,937 --> 00:33:27,219
little bit, you think? Yeah. Well, it's also what happens

495
00:33:27,379 --> 00:33:35,725
when... You take the medical... care of your citizens. politicize

496
00:33:35,825 --> 00:33:39,247
it. Politicizing that kind of thing is not going to

497
00:33:39,307 --> 00:33:42,850
help. It just simply isn't. I mean, being honest and

498
00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:46,913
transparent would be what would help. But when, and it

499
00:33:46,993 --> 00:33:49,814
started with Donald Trump, people like, oh, these guys never

500
00:33:49,875 --> 00:33:53,537
say anything bad about the Republicans. Well. Donald Trump really,

501
00:33:53,577 --> 00:33:58,961
really, really wanted the win of. having the vaccine. And

502
00:33:58,981 --> 00:34:02,003
he made it happen. But the vaccine was not perfect.

503
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:04,664
But it's hilarious that the one thing they could have

504
00:34:04,704 --> 00:34:07,967
maybe got Trump on, like, oh, no, I'm really surprised

505
00:34:07,987 --> 00:34:11,889
the Democrats didn't go with vaccine was dangerous. See, Donald

506
00:34:11,949 --> 00:34:14,451
Trump did it because they tried to take credit for

507
00:34:14,531 --> 00:34:17,213
it first. Yeah, but then they'd all be wrong. So

508
00:34:17,273 --> 00:34:19,494
they can't do that because they were behind the vaccines

509
00:34:19,554 --> 00:34:25,058
and the masking and the closures of the world, you

510
00:34:25,078 --> 00:34:31,302
know, the shutdowns. It's the power of its politicization, but

511
00:34:31,342 --> 00:34:37,006
it's also the power of those pharmaceutical companies. Because remember,

512
00:34:37,507 --> 00:34:40,429
Trump came up with his Operation Warp Speed, right? And

513
00:34:40,469 --> 00:34:45,792
then all reports claim that Bourla and his buddy over

514
00:34:45,852 --> 00:34:50,996
at Moderna, they intentionally withheld releasing the vaccine until Joey

515
00:34:51,396 --> 00:34:55,559
was elected president. And that very likely was a major

516
00:34:55,619 --> 00:35:00,282
contributor to Trump's loss. those guys wield that even i

517
00:35:00,342 --> 00:35:03,684
think that in some way transcended politics politics because it

518
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:06,786
was all sub rosa you know nobody ever said that

519
00:35:06,786 --> 00:35:09,868
at the time it just kind of happened very scary

520
00:35:10,869 --> 00:35:12,670
Donald Trump got him a bunch of money, and then

521
00:35:12,690 --> 00:35:15,372
they're like, well, we still want the other guy. We

522
00:35:15,412 --> 00:35:16,413
want the other guy, so we're going to hold his

523
00:35:16,453 --> 00:35:19,535
back. And knowing what they know, that it would cure

524
00:35:19,675 --> 00:35:21,797
nothing and protect no one, it's not like they killed

525
00:35:21,856 --> 00:35:26,920
any more people. Really. It's going to be a long

526
00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:32,003
time before, if anybody ever does get to the... accurate

527
00:35:32,083 --> 00:35:35,786
data on what is and what is not the fault

528
00:35:36,146 --> 00:35:40,629
of the vaccine and it's hard because including people like

529
00:35:40,709 --> 00:35:45,953
Dr. Fauci with his uh problems that he had we

530
00:35:45,993 --> 00:35:48,635
covered that on the last show as well didn't report

531
00:35:48,715 --> 00:35:51,957
it to VAERS And here's actually, we have a Glenn

532
00:35:51,997 --> 00:35:56,440
Beck clip on that. You can never prove causation, but

533
00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:02,144
the whole purpose is, the whole system is based upon

534
00:36:02,324 --> 00:36:06,967
people being honest. about reporting all of the injuries that

535
00:36:07,047 --> 00:36:11,490
happened after vaccine. after that vaccine and then you do

536
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:16,213
a post-train analysis and you say, hey, we're seeing elevated

537
00:36:16,293 --> 00:36:18,775
levels of this, that and the other, if you don't

538
00:36:18,855 --> 00:36:22,738
report it. Nobody can make those kind of analysis and

539
00:36:22,818 --> 00:36:25,279
he did not report his. He didn't report it to

540
00:36:25,339 --> 00:36:30,003
the VAERS system. He didn't tell the public. And, you

541
00:36:30,003 --> 00:36:35,366
know, if so, anyway, that was that. He's not. He's

542
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,968
a guy who claims to be science itself, but is

543
00:36:38,088 --> 00:36:41,490
rejecting the scientific method on being able to find out

544
00:36:41,530 --> 00:36:45,153
if something is safe or not. Right. Because the VAERS

545
00:36:45,233 --> 00:36:50,576
database was about not proving anything, but tracking is. much

546
00:36:50,737 --> 00:36:54,539
evidence as possible. So if he believed in that... Dr.

547
00:36:54,619 --> 00:36:59,442
Fauci, and he ended up getting a pulmonary infarction himself,

548
00:36:59,562 --> 00:37:02,865
but not... Reporting that the question then has to be

549
00:37:02,945 --> 00:37:06,847
again, why do you not believe that the system works

550
00:37:07,027 --> 00:37:09,529
or is this all just a scam? Well, it is

551
00:37:09,609 --> 00:37:12,951
all a scam. And if you think about it overwhelmingly.

552
00:37:14,212 --> 00:37:17,815
The ardent support for all of that crap, for the

553
00:37:17,855 --> 00:37:20,276
vaccines and the masking and the mandates and the shutdowns,

554
00:37:20,296 --> 00:37:23,258
everything, was very much from the left, Joey and company,

555
00:37:23,499 --> 00:37:27,241
right? They were the ones. And let's look, what's the

556
00:37:27,401 --> 00:37:29,763
first thing the left always does? They screw around with

557
00:37:29,763 --> 00:37:33,625
the vocabulary. The CDC actually went in there and revised

558
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:37,208
the definition of the word vaccine so it would conform

559
00:37:37,288 --> 00:37:41,170
to the garbage that they were injecting into people. And

560
00:37:41,211 --> 00:37:43,232
it's not a vaccine at all. If you think about

561
00:37:43,292 --> 00:37:45,153
it, I mean, it should have been called what it

562
00:37:45,213 --> 00:37:48,355
was, experimental gene therapy, but that never got any traction.

563
00:37:48,916 --> 00:37:52,458
But things like polio, tetanus, smallpox, yeah, those were vaccines.

564
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,862
Get those illnesses. This was complete crap, but they still

565
00:37:58,963 --> 00:38:00,664
called it. And they still do. And what's really sad

566
00:38:00,724 --> 00:38:04,086
is guys like Bobby the K and other right-wingers still

567
00:38:04,146 --> 00:38:06,828
refer to it as vaccine. You know what it's exactly

568
00:38:06,888 --> 00:38:12,031
like? They're not illegal aliens. They're migrants. Right. It's really

569
00:38:12,091 --> 00:38:16,354
kind of an immunotherapy more than a, you know, maybe

570
00:38:16,414 --> 00:38:19,096
it's like taking zinc, you know, before you hop on

571
00:38:19,116 --> 00:38:22,518
an airplane in the hopes that'll help you catch a

572
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,081
cold. Nobody ever got a turbo cancer from zinc. Not

573
00:38:26,121 --> 00:38:27,262
that we know of. I wouldn't put it in a

574
00:38:27,302 --> 00:38:30,324
class with zinc. I thought this was interesting as well

575
00:38:30,404 --> 00:38:33,646
because people in the media mainly want to make RFK

576
00:38:33,886 --> 00:38:39,370
Jr. out to be. a complete vaccine skeptic, a complete

577
00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:45,134
anti-vaccine guy. But here he is talking about the measles

578
00:38:45,174 --> 00:38:48,576
vaccine, one that, you know, a vaccine that is actually

579
00:38:48,636 --> 00:38:52,218
a vaccine. R.K. Jr. is now urging parents to get

580
00:38:52,238 --> 00:38:55,881
their children vaccinated against measles. He made that statement in

581
00:38:55,941 --> 00:38:58,282
an interview on CNN's State of the Union with Dana

582
00:38:58,302 --> 00:39:02,205
Bash. The comments come after criticism over his response to

583
00:39:02,265 --> 00:39:05,647
recent outbreaks, including a Texas outbreak that grew to nearly

584
00:39:05,808 --> 00:39:10,431
800 cases and killed two children. Pennsylvania has reported more

585
00:39:10,451 --> 00:39:14,934
than 167 confirmed measles cases as the U.S. faces its

586
00:39:15,074 --> 00:39:20,357
highest number of measles infection in 35 years. vaccine is

587
00:39:20,417 --> 00:39:25,361
effective. It stops measles in about 97% of the cases.

588
00:39:25,881 --> 00:39:30,624
People should get vaccinated. Officials say the most infections involve

589
00:39:30,684 --> 00:39:34,767
people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown.

590
00:39:35,267 --> 00:39:39,230
Experts warn outbreaks can continue in areas where vaccination rates

591
00:39:39,590 --> 00:39:43,673
fall below 95%. It's interesting that they're like, oh, or

592
00:39:43,913 --> 00:39:46,535
ones that vaccination rates are unknown. Well, they could be

593
00:39:46,575 --> 00:39:50,258
vaccinated. So, I mean, you don't, you can't really put

594
00:39:50,338 --> 00:39:54,060
data on somebody if it's. An unknown. You can't use

595
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,703
that as proof. If it's unknown. I want to hear

596
00:39:57,763 --> 00:40:01,265
that again. Yeah, officials say the most infections involve people

597
00:40:01,305 --> 00:40:06,909
who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. Oh!

598
00:40:07,989 --> 00:40:14,174
And B. thing doesn't add to anything. But that's okay.

599
00:40:14,234 --> 00:40:18,457
You don't really expect the, uh... the news media to

600
00:40:18,557 --> 00:40:21,358
actually know. But that is a true vaccine, 97 or

601
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:29,004
so percent effective. preventing something which Everybody around remembers that

602
00:40:29,024 --> 00:40:31,545
that's the bill of goods we were sold on the

603
00:40:31,645 --> 00:40:35,608
COVID vaccine. It was 100% safe and effective. Oh, you

604
00:40:35,688 --> 00:40:37,790
weren't going to get it. You weren't even going to

605
00:40:37,810 --> 00:40:40,331
be able to transmit it if you had the vaccine.

606
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:42,813
Yeah, but remember how they started to dial it back?

607
00:40:43,153 --> 00:40:46,335
It was like, it's 95. Burl, I remember, 95% effective.

608
00:40:47,956 --> 00:40:52,860
98, 93, 85, 73. And then when they got down

609
00:40:52,940 --> 00:40:56,282
around in the mid-60s, they just dropped it. Now we

610
00:40:56,342 --> 00:40:59,004
sound stupid, so forget that. They went away with the

611
00:40:59,024 --> 00:41:01,626
percentages. It was really funny to listen to and watch.

612
00:41:02,286 --> 00:41:07,209
Well, it's funny. going back and i think the clip

613
00:41:07,329 --> 00:41:10,872
was on no agenda ever never miss an episode of

614
00:41:10,972 --> 00:41:15,775
howie mandel arguing that they they never said it was

615
00:41:15,855 --> 00:41:18,657
a hundred percent and never that it was gonna it's

616
00:41:18,697 --> 00:41:23,300
like yeah they did But people remember different things and

617
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,104
people are confused because they don't know. exactly where to

618
00:41:28,164 --> 00:41:31,686
get their information i thought this was an interesting clip

619
00:41:31,846 --> 00:41:35,529
from uh Big Bill O'Reilly, I mean, he's been like

620
00:41:35,609 --> 00:41:39,551
50 years in journalism. And I thought this made a

621
00:41:39,891 --> 00:41:43,194
really interesting point on the state of where news is

622
00:41:43,314 --> 00:41:47,777
today. And I see a very big sampling from around

623
00:41:47,837 --> 00:41:53,240
the world of what people are interested in. And one

624
00:41:53,321 --> 00:42:02,026
thing that has risen dramatically this year. is confusion. So

625
00:42:02,126 --> 00:42:07,070
many human beings, Americans and everybody else, they don't know

626
00:42:07,470 --> 00:42:15,055
or understand what is happening. And therefore, they are susceptible

627
00:42:15,075 --> 00:42:19,958
to crazy stuff. All right, because they don't really know

628
00:42:19,998 --> 00:42:25,722
the basis. of how President Trump, for example, makes a

629
00:42:25,782 --> 00:42:33,908
decision. or why trends are happening in our society. or

630
00:42:34,088 --> 00:42:40,172
AI. or social media, what are the implications? They're confused.

631
00:42:40,232 --> 00:42:42,694
And I'm not saying this to be super silliest word

632
00:42:42,734 --> 00:42:47,297
of the day. I'm saying it because it's true. And

633
00:42:48,017 --> 00:42:51,079
it's my job here at the No Spin News to

634
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,262
clarify. This is what our job is, to clarify, not

635
00:42:54,302 --> 00:43:00,246
to root. Not to push an ideology. We don't do

636
00:43:00,346 --> 00:43:02,287
that. And some people get mad. Some people don't even

637
00:43:02,327 --> 00:43:07,010
watch. They want to hear Republicans are good or Democrats

638
00:43:07,090 --> 00:43:09,692
are good. That's what they want to hear. Okay, I

639
00:43:09,812 --> 00:43:14,135
got it. Not what we do here. Clarity is what

640
00:43:14,195 --> 00:43:17,717
we shoot for. Is he right 100% of the time

641
00:43:17,757 --> 00:43:19,739
or does he always keep his bias out? No, but

642
00:43:19,819 --> 00:43:23,061
this is what... No, but he bloviates 100% of the

643
00:43:23,081 --> 00:43:25,122
time. Yes. That he does. Dude, he's Irish like you

644
00:43:25,222 --> 00:43:26,684
and me. This is why. No, but I'm not a

645
00:43:26,684 --> 00:43:29,005
bloviator. I mean, he's a pain in the ass, really.

646
00:43:29,085 --> 00:43:30,926
That guy's like... Oh, come on. You've been known to

647
00:43:30,946 --> 00:43:33,488
bloviate a time or two. I never bloviate. I never

648
00:43:33,528 --> 00:43:37,231
bloviate. Worcester? I'm accused of many, many, many things, many

649
00:43:37,291 --> 00:43:40,493
crimes. Guilty of most. Bloviation, not one of them. But

650
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:44,836
it's true that people are completely unaware of the world

651
00:43:44,936 --> 00:43:48,578
around them. get valid information which is why you know

652
00:43:48,658 --> 00:43:52,881
we highly recommend the no agenda show yes because that

653
00:43:53,061 --> 00:43:55,583
is part of the goal which is to go hey

654
00:43:55,683 --> 00:43:59,125
here's what the news media is doing And try to

655
00:43:59,185 --> 00:44:02,688
put this in a way that people can understand and

656
00:44:02,728 --> 00:44:07,511
tell them, well, this is why maybe. This source is

657
00:44:08,071 --> 00:44:11,254
being a little less than honest. And a lot of

658
00:44:11,294 --> 00:44:15,556
what you're seeing now in the news is... commie related

659
00:44:15,577 --> 00:44:16,857
and I think it's funny a lot of people are

660
00:44:16,857 --> 00:44:19,019
like ah they kept making fun of Bernie Sanders it's

661
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:22,521
like well There's a good reason, and even Bill O'Reilly

662
00:44:22,581 --> 00:44:23,942
got in on it. As long as we have that

663
00:44:24,042 --> 00:44:26,804
bill, it's double up. It's not about chocolate cake. I

664
00:44:26,864 --> 00:44:28,605
know, you like it. I'm going to get you nice

665
00:44:28,725 --> 00:44:30,707
and in the right mood. I'm going to go make

666
00:44:30,747 --> 00:44:35,670
a sandwich. Okay? That's what Sanders wants. All right? It's

667
00:44:35,730 --> 00:44:42,174
about the government telling the children what to think. how

668
00:44:42,295 --> 00:44:48,699
to behave, circumventing the traditional parenting because the communists know

669
00:44:49,339 --> 00:44:53,382
that out in the heartland those people are never going

670
00:44:53,422 --> 00:44:58,105
to buy into the communist movement, ever. Get the kids.

671
00:44:59,226 --> 00:44:59,946
And it's happened.

672
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:07,144
in colleges, American colleges, very fine institutions, have collapsed under

673
00:45:07,284 --> 00:45:12,308
the weight of progressive politics. So don't say it's not

674
00:45:12,388 --> 00:45:15,650
possible. Bernie Sanders has got to be the happiest guy

675
00:45:15,770 --> 00:45:20,353
in the country. The discussion was that Sanders and Mandami

676
00:45:20,453 --> 00:45:26,237
in New York are demanding universal child care. But it's

677
00:45:26,277 --> 00:45:32,702
not really child care. Not. And it would be 10%

678
00:45:33,322 --> 00:45:35,643
of the New York City budget. They could never pay

679
00:45:35,704 --> 00:45:40,347
for it. It's getting control of the children in a

680
00:45:40,527 --> 00:45:50,333
setting where they can be indoctrinated. And that happens. Get

681
00:45:50,714 --> 00:45:55,617
the And that's what Bernie Sanders and Mandani in New

682
00:45:55,697 --> 00:46:02,562
York City. trying to do. You know that? Media will

683
00:46:02,582 --> 00:46:07,225
never realize that. That's exactly what has happened. Can you

684
00:46:07,285 --> 00:46:09,947
disagree with that? Well, I can say that's a blind...

685
00:46:11,708 --> 00:46:16,671
been going on for about 70 years. before Mamdani, really?

686
00:46:18,152 --> 00:46:22,515
What is this boomer? plan. What are you doing? What

687
00:46:22,655 --> 00:46:28,019
is this? What's going on here? O'Reilly, does anyone... Exactly.

688
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:59,580
anymore? Please? being pumped Bloviating boob. I mean... so much

689
00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:03,503
for jumping in man this has been so good for

690
00:47:03,603 --> 00:47:07,646
me and uh of course i've listened to you mimi

691
00:47:07,726 --> 00:47:11,168
has not listened at all um she's just been cleaning

692
00:47:11,308 --> 00:47:14,790
up cleaning up the house she's told me stories man

693
00:47:14,890 --> 00:47:24,677
she's told me stories just driving the bus. I'm so

694
00:47:24,797 --> 00:47:27,999
appreciative of that. This is really... And by the way,

695
00:47:28,019 --> 00:47:34,584
hello, trolls! Stupid trolls. Good to see y'all. I only

696
00:47:34,664 --> 00:47:39,527
have one comment on everything you've been doing. Only one.

697
00:47:40,168 --> 00:47:44,070
And it's Darren, it's you. Uh-oh, I should run. When

698
00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:47,612
you knight somebody, you have to hit them with the

699
00:47:47,693 --> 00:47:50,394
sword. You know, you have to hit them. You gotta

700
00:47:50,474 --> 00:47:53,737
hit them. You gotta hit them. hit them we did

701
00:47:53,797 --> 00:47:55,238
it the last time i think the first time we

702
00:47:55,338 --> 00:47:59,861
missed the uh hitting i must have missed it must

703
00:47:59,901 --> 00:48:03,143
have drowned out they're all like black knights or non-hit

704
00:48:03,223 --> 00:48:07,846
knights or there's something that they'll call themselves yeah so

705
00:48:08,146 --> 00:48:10,708
um i guess i should tell you what's going on

706
00:48:11,128 --> 00:48:17,213
tell us um man first of all i have uh

707
00:48:18,353 --> 00:48:22,296
survivor's guilt this is very weird i didn't expect this

708
00:48:26,499 --> 00:48:32,863
And it's really like there's been two deaths. I'm not

709
00:48:32,923 --> 00:48:37,346
trying to equate one with the other. But John just

710
00:48:37,566 --> 00:48:41,429
being gone all of a sudden was just was weird,

711
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:45,692
you know. Yes. And of course, we never texted. We

712
00:48:45,792 --> 00:48:54,998
never spoke with. talk right before, you know, and really

713
00:48:56,299 --> 00:48:58,580
when I took over the stream, you know, the first

714
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,702
time we talk is after the fat lady and being,

715
00:49:00,702 --> 00:49:03,584
you know, and he'd either have his robot voice or

716
00:49:03,644 --> 00:49:05,885
something wrong with his settings. And of course he never

717
00:49:05,945 --> 00:49:09,548
changed a thing, obviously. Right. And then we just do

718
00:49:09,588 --> 00:49:11,849
the show. And then after the show, you'd be surprised.

719
00:49:11,969 --> 00:49:15,052
I mean, it was literally, I'd turn off his noise

720
00:49:15,112 --> 00:49:16,733
gate so I could hear what he was doing, which

721
00:49:16,833 --> 00:45:00,000
is typically eating something or shaving. - Oh, okay. -

722
00:49:23,017 --> 00:49:27,100
Yes, yes. I'm like, that's disgusting. Stop it. You'd be

723
00:49:27,260 --> 00:49:31,022
shaving. And, you know, 'cause throughout the show, I'd mark

724
00:49:31,102 --> 00:49:34,364
different spots that we might use for the opening bit.

725
00:49:34,985 --> 00:49:38,567
And so I'd, you know. and then cue him by

726
00:49:38,647 --> 00:49:40,389
saying, "You ready?" Okay, and I'd play him, then we'd

727
00:49:40,409 --> 00:49:45,612
decide what we wanted. Then it would be credits. Then

728
00:49:45,732 --> 00:49:48,554
we'd look for the art, then the show title. And

729
00:49:48,594 --> 00:49:50,776
then he would basically just hang out and doodle and

730
00:49:50,816 --> 00:49:53,657
do whatever he was doing until we both confirmed that

731
00:49:53,677 --> 00:49:56,459
the show was up, confirmed that it was on the

732
00:49:56,539 --> 00:50:01,283
site, 'cause there's all these moving parts. The RSS feed

733
00:50:01,343 --> 00:50:03,985
has to go, the OPML file has to be right,

734
00:50:04,065 --> 00:50:06,446
the redirect has to be in place, and then, if

735
00:50:06,506 --> 00:50:10,389
you're lucky, refresh it shows up on noagendashow.net and then

736
00:50:10,569 --> 00:50:12,810
literally all right talk to you Thursday okay bye that

737
00:50:12,830 --> 00:50:15,592
would be it that would be it and so that

738
00:50:16,273 --> 00:50:24,378
that ended but I also realize that what we did

739
00:50:24,498 --> 00:50:29,742
ended it's you know what we did was not Adam

740
00:50:30,042 --> 00:50:35,186
and John it was the the combined the combined thing

741
00:50:35,226 --> 00:50:39,949
you know and And I've seen some. guy who's on

742
00:50:40,229 --> 00:50:44,272
X, I just love what he's doing. He's grieving in

743
00:50:44,332 --> 00:50:47,714
his own way, as I see many people doing. And

744
00:50:47,794 --> 00:50:51,637
he's going through every single show from episode number one,

745
00:50:51,757 --> 00:50:55,679
and he's... making a post about his impressions. - Right,

746
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:58,581
I saw those. - Yeah, and he gets to episode

747
00:50:58,601 --> 00:51:02,064
seven, he's like, "Oh, wait a minute." I see it

748
00:51:02,124 --> 00:51:04,725
was never really about the news deconstruction. It was you

749
00:51:04,826 --> 00:51:09,749
guys. Oh, yeah. But, you know, that that really hit

750
00:51:09,809 --> 00:51:15,533
me hard because I realize I can't recreate. you know

751
00:51:16,093 --> 00:51:19,035
i can't it no matter what i do and then

752
00:51:19,095 --> 00:51:22,197
and i see you know i've been looking at the

753
00:51:22,277 --> 00:51:26,400
five stages of grief and one of those stages is

754
00:51:26,420 --> 00:51:32,084
negotiation and uh and i can see no agenda nation

755
00:51:32,164 --> 00:51:35,246
negotiating you know with well you should do it with

756
00:51:35,286 --> 00:51:37,548
so when someone got to you should do the show

757
00:51:37,628 --> 00:51:40,610
with jen briney i'm like okay can you get to

758
00:51:40,670 --> 00:51:45,933
the anger stage please you need to move on I

759
00:51:46,053 --> 00:51:50,656
like Jim Briney. But like, no, no, no. And OK,

760
00:51:50,797 --> 00:51:53,839
this is a this is a crap analogy because, you

761
00:51:53,839 --> 00:51:55,820
know, people say, well, it was like Laurel and Hardy,

762
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,222
Simon and Garfunkel. I'm like, no, scratch Simon and Garfunkel.

763
00:51:59,823 --> 00:52:02,925
But in a way, Lennon McCartney, not that we are

764
00:52:03,045 --> 00:52:05,166
anywhere near the level of that genius, but, you know,

765
00:52:05,266 --> 00:52:08,969
they basically made songs with three chords, you know, and

766
00:52:09,429 --> 00:52:15,253
and it was a moment. And then when the band

767
00:52:15,353 --> 00:52:19,196
broke up, you know, to this day, people still talk

768
00:52:19,296 --> 00:52:24,079
about the Beatles. Right. You know, and I'm sure if

769
00:52:24,339 --> 00:52:27,501
Lennon hadn't been shot, he would have still had, you

770
00:52:27,761 --> 00:52:31,484
know, a career doing stuff apart from McCartney. Maybe once

771
00:52:31,544 --> 00:52:34,086
in a while they get together and do some kind

772
00:52:34,126 --> 00:52:36,948
of show. You know, and people have called me and

773
00:52:37,008 --> 00:52:39,990
said, well, you know, it's like Rush. Now, I'm not

774
00:52:40,050 --> 00:52:43,872
a big Rush fan. I never was either. You know,

775
00:52:44,193 --> 00:52:46,554
I never really got the appeal of it. Oh, I'd

776
00:52:46,594 --> 00:52:48,976
like to I never got that Was it was it

777
00:52:49,036 --> 00:52:51,798
Mexican radio? No, that was REM. What was the spirit

778
00:52:51,838 --> 00:52:55,640
of radio? Was that rush? Right I mean, really, the

779
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,462
prog stuff I never really got into. More with the

780
00:52:58,482 --> 00:53:01,184
rock and roll pre-show with people that would request it,

781
00:53:01,224 --> 00:53:04,746
and then you realize these are some damn good musicians.

782
00:53:05,847 --> 00:53:08,689
Well, that's what all the Rush fans in my life,

783
00:53:08,769 --> 00:53:14,093
and there's two. One is Dave Jones from Podcasting 2.0,

784
00:53:14,273 --> 00:53:19,676
PodcastIndex.org. We've been friends for 16 years. But he's not

785
00:53:19,737 --> 00:53:23,499
one of those rabid ones like, okay, I hear you.

786
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,041
Best band in the world. Best band in the world,

787
00:53:26,081 --> 00:53:28,422
hands down. The other one, who else do you think

788
00:53:28,482 --> 00:53:33,486
is a big Rush fan that you would know? Hmm.

789
00:53:33,706 --> 00:53:37,248
Yeah. You have to give it. Andrew Horowitz. No. Yes.

790
00:53:39,190 --> 00:53:42,692
And they both gave me the same analogy. And I

791
00:53:42,812 --> 00:53:46,194
drew the same conclusion. They said you and the drummer,

792
00:53:46,254 --> 00:53:50,137
Neil Peart, I think, Neil Peart? Yes. And they brought

793
00:53:50,217 --> 00:53:54,340
in... Anarchist or something, right? Yeah, well, basically, they're like,

794
00:53:54,340 --> 00:53:57,502
oh, the band is over. over it's no good and

795
00:53:57,542 --> 00:54:00,224
then they brought in the german woman who is a

796
00:54:00,404 --> 00:54:04,226
really good drummer and and so they both said but

797
00:54:04,246 --> 00:54:06,268
you know so when they play the sphere in vegas

798
00:54:06,268 --> 00:54:08,770
i'll go say yeah i don't want to be like

799
00:54:08,850 --> 00:54:12,572
a nostalgia act right you know it's like oh well

800
00:54:12,672 --> 00:54:14,774
when you know when they do this or that then

801
00:54:14,854 --> 00:54:16,555
i'll then i'll go and check them out you know

802
00:54:18,456 --> 00:54:22,879
and so the hardest hardest thing for me because at

803
00:54:22,899 --> 00:54:28,063
the same time um i'm going to be 62 in

804
00:54:28,143 --> 00:54:30,164
september you know what do i want to do with

805
00:54:30,184 --> 00:54:32,526
the rest of my life do i literally have 18

806
00:54:32,606 --> 00:54:35,548
more years you know do i get it get to

807
00:54:35,608 --> 00:54:37,449
be 80 do i get to be 90 i don't

808
00:54:37,489 --> 00:54:41,552
know you know what do i want to do that's

809
00:54:41,592 --> 00:54:43,913
a weird question you know when you've been doing something

810
00:54:44,313 --> 00:54:47,716
for sure on going on night do I want to

811
00:54:47,776 --> 00:54:52,339
continue this? Do I want to spend years building up

812
00:54:53,019 --> 00:54:55,281
a new rapport with somebody? I mean, I don't have

813
00:54:55,321 --> 00:54:58,463
the answers. I really don't. It's just, you know, I

814
00:54:58,503 --> 00:55:03,266
also don't want to be the Silver Beatles. And I

815
00:55:03,326 --> 00:55:08,290
don't want no agenda to become the Silver Beatles. And

816
00:55:08,530 --> 00:55:11,312
what really hit me the hardest There's a saying, it's

817
00:55:11,392 --> 00:55:14,314
actually biblical scripture, but you've heard it in different contexts.

818
00:55:14,834 --> 00:55:19,717
You can't put new wine into old wineskins. because they'll

819
00:55:19,757 --> 00:55:25,001
burst and you ruin And so I'm still struggling with

820
00:55:25,481 --> 00:55:29,004
how this needs to move forward, but I am certain

821
00:55:29,064 --> 00:55:32,886
of one thing, that it is up to no agenda

822
00:55:32,986 --> 00:55:39,551
nation who have always, always driven the show. We started

823
00:55:39,731 --> 00:55:43,594
off with 25 minutes and literally said, this is going

824
00:55:43,614 --> 00:55:47,476
to be a show without... without sound effects, no nonsense.

825
00:55:47,536 --> 00:55:50,258
We're just going to be talking and that'll be it.

826
00:55:51,659 --> 00:55:58,043
And it wasn't it. with numerology. as we quickly figured

827
00:55:58,083 --> 00:56:01,225
out the value for value model. And I don't think

828
00:56:01,466 --> 00:56:07,730
I have produced a single... bit or anything for the

829
00:56:07,750 --> 00:56:12,573
show ever except I did the fisting nuts I produced

830
00:56:12,633 --> 00:56:21,539
that thank you I'm waiting for my Golden Globe But

831
00:56:21,659 --> 00:56:27,503
everything else was produced by No Agenda Nation. And so

832
00:56:27,723 --> 00:56:31,946
when you guys step in and you And of course,

833
00:56:32,246 --> 00:56:34,688
people are like, well, it's not this, it's not that.

834
00:56:34,728 --> 00:56:39,931
Yeah, but of course it's not. fun by the way

835
00:56:39,971 --> 00:56:43,154
do you enjoy it no not at all what is

836
00:56:43,214 --> 00:56:48,697
your answer I mean, I'm asking you, I guess, is

837
00:56:48,757 --> 00:56:52,740
it weird? You haven't done Planet Rage. You've put that

838
00:56:52,820 --> 00:56:55,002
in abeyance while you're doing this? Yeah, I mean, I

839
00:56:55,002 --> 00:56:57,083
can only talk to Larry for so many hours a

840
00:56:57,083 --> 00:57:00,726
week. Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, the weirdest

841
00:57:00,786 --> 00:57:06,610
thing is, you know, no agenda. that I got a

842
00:57:06,670 --> 00:57:08,911
majority of my news if I wasn't listening to the

843
00:57:08,971 --> 00:57:11,433
boomer Bill O'Reilly. So now it's like, oh wait, I

844
00:57:11,473 --> 00:57:16,096
have to pay attention to more news sources. And so,

845
00:57:16,176 --> 00:57:20,239
I mean... It's a little weird, but it is an

846
00:57:20,299 --> 00:57:23,501
honor to be able to keep up the tradition, which

847
00:57:23,721 --> 00:57:26,743
is, this is your show anytime you want it back.

848
00:57:26,863 --> 00:57:30,746
So that's kind of what we... into this with the

849
00:57:30,846 --> 00:57:34,488
mindset and it's larry likes the negative comments as well

850
00:57:34,548 --> 00:57:37,170
it's like hey we're just doing what we can do

851
00:57:37,330 --> 00:57:41,353
to do a show in the similar vein to keep

852
00:57:41,453 --> 00:57:44,095
people and And it's like, well, what do you do

853
00:57:44,215 --> 00:57:48,318
if your choice is this or nothing? You get to

854
00:57:48,378 --> 00:57:52,701
choose. That is the bottom line. What have you been

855
00:57:52,761 --> 00:57:55,703
doing to Weston Wee Wax, Adam? That's what I was

856
00:57:55,763 --> 00:58:00,626
wondering. To Weston Wee Wax? Weston Wee Wax. Well, I

857
00:58:00,706 --> 00:58:03,168
mean, there's also other stuff going on. I have a

858
00:58:03,888 --> 00:58:10,973
granddaughter. She was literally... within 24 hours span of JCD

859
00:58:11,233 --> 00:58:15,456
passing away. So that was like a crazy, and we

860
00:58:15,476 --> 00:58:18,398
had just gotten back from Europe. We waited two weeks.

861
00:58:19,198 --> 00:58:23,261
income, had to come back for all kinds of reasons.

862
00:58:24,282 --> 00:58:28,325
And so we've been trying to schedule doing at the

863
00:58:28,385 --> 00:58:32,567
end of the month. Of course, there's been a ton

864
00:58:32,668 --> 00:58:38,111
of... arrange. I mean, John and I started No Agenda

865
00:58:38,171 --> 00:58:41,093
on a handshake. We even shook hands on it. She's

866
00:58:41,093 --> 00:58:43,175
like, I'll do this, okay. I'll do the production, you

867
00:58:43,235 --> 00:58:46,357
do all the back, whatever. And that was kind of

868
00:58:46,457 --> 00:58:48,178
it. And it grew out a little bit more. And

869
00:58:48,198 --> 00:58:51,660
we wound up, you know, bring Eric the shill. Of

870
00:58:51,740 --> 00:58:55,783
course, we had him initially doing back office and he

871
00:58:55,883 --> 00:59:00,386
moved to South Dakota and Jay stepped in. And by

872
00:59:00,446 --> 00:59:03,228
the way, Jay has been the rock star of, I

873
00:59:03,308 --> 00:59:08,792
mean. young woman who is I think 30 about 30

874
00:59:08,872 --> 00:59:11,093
but Chrissy about third no let me have a little

875
00:59:11,134 --> 00:59:15,376
bit over 30 who was pregnant you know she's having

876
00:59:15,456 --> 00:59:20,560
a baby in October she has just jumped in this

877
00:59:20,580 --> 00:59:24,503
doing the newsletter is still managing spreadsheets and back office

878
00:59:24,623 --> 00:59:29,226
and people with questions but has also been really mom.

879
00:59:29,346 --> 00:59:35,130
She's been managing the entire memorial. So I've been tendentially

880
00:59:35,230 --> 00:59:37,731
involved in that. So I pick up the phone as

881
00:59:37,831 --> 00:59:42,735
often as I can to talk. See how she's Was

882
00:59:42,855 --> 00:59:46,097
really cool. She got this is this is this is

883
00:59:46,157 --> 00:59:50,040
no agenda nation our producers. I'm not sure exactly Well,

884
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,843
I kind of know but The president and the first

885
00:59:54,943 --> 00:59:59,826
lady sent a beautiful note to Mimi. Wow.

886
01:00:00,220 --> 01:00:03,402
and everything. It was just like, you know, and rightly

887
01:00:03,502 --> 01:00:06,424
so. This is, you know, this is kind of our

888
01:00:06,904 --> 01:00:09,446
spooks out there who are like, hey, man, we love

889
01:00:09,486 --> 01:00:12,088
you guys. We're just going to talk to the president,

890
01:00:12,108 --> 01:00:14,549
have him send off, dash off a little note. I

891
01:00:14,629 --> 01:00:19,873
mean, stuff like that. And she's. She's cleaning up the

892
01:00:19,933 --> 01:00:24,576
house. She's finding all kinds. Literally, there's an envelope, a

893
01:00:24,796 --> 01:00:28,859
huge envelope filled with stuff that John was going to

894
01:00:28,919 --> 01:00:32,802
send to me with stamps and everything. Just never sent

895
01:00:32,942 --> 01:00:35,704
it, you know. So John was actually a bit of

896
01:00:35,704 --> 01:00:38,365
a hoarder. That wasn't a bit. No, he was a

897
01:00:38,545 --> 01:00:42,008
100% hoarder. That's why I was never allowed to see.

898
01:00:42,068 --> 01:00:44,770
And no one will ever see the office, I guess.

899
01:00:44,850 --> 01:00:46,971
I think Mimi's going to lock that down and burn

900
01:00:47,011 --> 01:00:49,533
it and torture it, whatever she's going to do. It

901
01:00:49,593 --> 01:00:54,076
also, I was talking to Tina about this. Being an

902
01:00:54,156 --> 01:00:58,739
archivist or a hoarder is useless. It absolutely is. I

903
01:00:58,819 --> 01:01:01,961
mean, he didn't get to do anything with it. Now

904
01:01:02,081 --> 01:01:05,244
it's just a big pain in the butt. Yes. You

905
01:01:05,244 --> 01:01:08,165
know, he has hollow books everywhere with stuff inside of

906
01:01:08,326 --> 01:01:15,170
it. So... But, of course, when we kind of got

907
01:01:15,190 --> 01:01:17,632
the warning shot when he went in for his double

908
01:01:17,692 --> 01:01:22,835
bypass, that's when we realized, like, oh, okay, passwords. We

909
01:01:22,935 --> 01:01:26,438
hadn't really kept up with the passwords. So we were

910
01:01:26,458 --> 01:01:32,282
lucky that we got everything. But there's, you know, going

911
01:01:32,362 --> 01:01:37,385
back to a handshake. So eventually the IRS said. what's

912
01:01:37,425 --> 01:01:40,667
up with all these checks in this cash? What do

913
01:01:40,727 --> 01:01:43,689
you got? What's these checks for $3 and 33 cents?

914
01:01:43,709 --> 01:01:45,451
You know, what, what kind of racket are you guys

915
01:01:45,531 --> 01:01:48,112
running? So we, you know, and they, and they said,

916
01:01:48,152 --> 01:01:50,274
well, we think you should have an LLC and here's

917
01:01:50,294 --> 01:01:52,856
how you should do it. And so we, we did

918
01:01:52,916 --> 01:01:56,018
that. And so it was 50, 50. And, you know,

919
01:01:56,498 --> 01:01:59,740
you realize that there's bank stuff and all kinds of

920
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,942
things that you, you know, you can't, you can't do

921
01:02:03,083 --> 01:02:06,045
unless one of the two owners of the LLC is

922
01:02:06,105 --> 01:02:08,466
there. So, you know, when I go to, we're leaving

923
01:02:08,526 --> 01:02:11,948
tomorrow for San Francisco for the memorial on the 8th

924
01:02:12,028 --> 01:02:14,850
on Saturday. You know, Monday we're going to the bank.

925
01:02:14,890 --> 01:02:16,832
So there's just a lot of stuff that has to

926
01:02:16,872 --> 01:02:20,274
be fixed and wrapped up and, you know, taken care

927
01:02:20,394 --> 01:02:26,418
of. And in the meantime, it's been very interesting. Again,

928
01:02:27,139 --> 01:02:30,081
Tina and I, we've had to really lean into our

929
01:02:30,181 --> 01:02:32,382
faith, too. I mean, it's like, what is going on?

930
01:02:32,422 --> 01:02:36,745
I mean, overnight, everything changed. Everything. You know, you always

931
01:02:36,785 --> 01:02:38,186
think, oh, I have a little bit more time to

932
01:02:38,246 --> 01:02:40,208
do stuff and figure stuff out. What do I want

933
01:02:40,228 --> 01:02:47,072
to do? So we don't have that luxury. Yeah. You

934
01:02:47,092 --> 01:02:50,434
know, no matter what happens, obviously it's going to affect

935
01:02:50,795 --> 01:02:53,256
our income. That's just a fact of life. You know,

936
01:02:53,396 --> 01:02:55,938
people are going to fade out. New people will come

937
01:02:56,038 --> 01:02:58,580
in no matter what happens, no matter what goes on.

938
01:02:59,781 --> 01:03:03,143
So we're just trying to figure out. where we stand

939
01:03:03,283 --> 01:03:09,427
and what plans do we have. Yeah. You need to

940
01:03:09,787 --> 01:03:12,529
get yourself in a zen state, Adam, and sort of

941
01:03:12,609 --> 01:03:15,651
throttle back and everything, you know? Like I'm seeing you

942
01:03:15,771 --> 01:03:20,475
on a pontoon boat maybe on Lake. And Mimi has

943
01:03:20,515 --> 01:03:23,817
a super soaker filled with chilled prebiano. And every so

944
01:03:23,937 --> 01:03:25,778
often she just kind of gives you a little. Just

945
01:03:25,858 --> 01:03:27,880
in my mouth. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Hit me again, Mimi.

946
01:03:27,900 --> 01:03:29,861
You know, when you get in that kind of place

947
01:03:30,021 --> 01:03:32,843
where things sort of, you get out of the weeds

948
01:03:32,923 --> 01:03:35,625
and the fog and things become more clear, I think.

949
01:03:36,125 --> 01:03:38,727
Yeah, and I do want to thank Sir Chris Wilson

950
01:03:39,307 --> 01:03:41,569
Riley and Dane Kenney, but there's a lot of people

951
01:03:41,629 --> 01:03:44,811
that have popped back up that were kind of going

952
01:03:44,891 --> 01:03:48,554
under the radar to pitch in. You're making a great

953
01:03:48,674 --> 01:03:51,516
point. This is what I love. This is what I'm

954
01:03:51,596 --> 01:03:54,017
seeing and this is what I would love to see

955
01:03:54,137 --> 01:03:57,700
more of while you guys are sitting here in this

956
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,322
spot. First of all, I'm not leaving. I'm not sure

957
01:04:01,362 --> 01:04:06,146
what I'm going to do. I'm just not sure, but

958
01:04:06,446 --> 01:04:11,049
obviously... No agenda is a part of my life. There's

959
01:04:11,089 --> 01:04:14,671
no doubt about that. But I do want to do

960
01:04:14,751 --> 01:04:21,716
some other things as well. seeing people coming back and

961
01:04:21,776 --> 01:04:24,658
saying, oh, no, no, no, no. We can do stuff.

962
01:04:25,378 --> 01:04:29,521
We can continue to reinvent no agenda. By the way,

963
01:04:29,902 --> 01:04:33,844
if anyone can fix that horrible opening jingle I made

964
01:04:33,924 --> 01:04:40,389
for the guys, please, do something completely different. We need

965
01:04:40,449 --> 01:04:44,291
to retire that stuff. I'm with you. Whatever it is,

966
01:04:44,511 --> 01:04:49,255
please, somebody send something for Sunday's show. Just get rid

967
01:04:49,315 --> 01:04:58,661
of that. That has to end. and create a new

968
01:04:59,161 --> 01:05:04,005
wineskin, please, for these gentlemen. Right. Something that seems a

969
01:05:04,065 --> 01:05:09,888
little more new as opposed to you popped into Dimension

970
01:05:09,989 --> 01:05:14,031
B and you're hearing a different no agenda. Yes. So

971
01:05:14,792 --> 01:05:18,214
while we have this opportunity, let's freshen things up a

972
01:05:18,254 --> 01:05:20,576
little bit. And I say that because, again, I never

973
01:05:20,636 --> 01:05:24,318
did any of this work, ever. I didn't create the

974
01:05:24,398 --> 01:05:29,181
opening. I know the first voice is Dave Fox, XX

975
01:05:29,322 --> 01:05:35,446
Dave Fox. He was the voice of Z100. What would

976
01:05:35,606 --> 01:05:38,128
they got bought? Did they get bought by Cumulus? I

977
01:05:38,168 --> 01:05:43,791
want to say. He was doing production for whatever big

978
01:05:43,911 --> 01:05:48,434
radio network Z100 eventually became a part of. And he

979
01:05:48,514 --> 01:05:51,016
did those years and years and years ago. I think

980
01:05:51,056 --> 01:05:55,579
he's in Texas now. He's retired. He's probably 100. But

981
01:05:55,619 --> 01:06:00,202
it's also been interesting. you know how friends of ours

982
01:06:00,282 --> 01:06:04,605
recognize what we're going through. All our friends know about

983
01:06:04,625 --> 01:06:08,268
the show. All of them listen or listen sometimes or

984
01:06:08,348 --> 01:06:12,411
check in. you know, They've been like taking us out

985
01:06:12,431 --> 01:06:15,613
to dinner, you know, spur of the moment, which is

986
01:06:15,633 --> 01:06:19,335
really, really sweet. And of course, I'm like, well, since

987
01:06:19,335 --> 01:06:21,197
they got no job, you got to pick up the

988
01:06:21,237 --> 01:06:26,540
tab. And. But I've been, you know, the two people

989
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:31,844
who... I notice are really hurting along with everybody is

990
01:06:31,984 --> 01:06:38,188
Horowitz. Um... He, you know, he just had a meniscus

991
01:06:38,328 --> 01:06:41,190
operation, so he's kind of immobile right now, but I

992
01:06:41,250 --> 01:06:44,392
can tell, you know, it's like he's. He's suffering too.

993
01:06:44,953 --> 01:06:48,295
His show, DH Unplugged, was on almost as long as

994
01:06:48,375 --> 01:06:51,257
No Agenda. Yeah, it started like a year or so

995
01:06:51,397 --> 01:06:54,099
after, I think, right? Maybe even less than a year.

996
01:06:55,019 --> 01:06:57,961
Yeah. So he's going through the same thing. He's like,

997
01:06:57,961 --> 01:07:02,064
well, now what do I do? Oh, completely, completely. And

998
01:07:02,164 --> 01:07:07,708
he's done the show with Buzzkill Jr. But. It's this

999
01:07:07,868 --> 01:07:12,211
exact same problem. Andrew and John would talk about stocks

1000
01:07:12,911 --> 01:07:18,255
and financial markets and turkey sandwiches, you know, and wearing

1001
01:07:18,335 --> 01:07:21,998
Crocs or whatever or Speedo shoes or whatever nonsense they

1002
01:07:22,078 --> 01:07:27,321
got into. So he's going through a very similar thing.

1003
01:07:27,441 --> 01:07:30,523
And of course... It was all a part of no

1004
01:07:30,603 --> 01:07:33,505
agenda nation. There was cross promotion and stuff like that.

1005
01:07:34,486 --> 01:07:37,348
Now, the other person, which has been quite, I didn't

1006
01:07:37,648 --> 01:07:40,810
realize it right off the bat, is Dana Brunetti. He

1007
01:07:40,910 --> 01:07:44,713
and John would talk all the time. Really? Yeah, I

1008
01:07:44,773 --> 01:07:50,437
didn't know this. You know, Brunetti. Essentially, I think he

1009
01:07:50,517 --> 01:07:53,259
gave up on Hollywood and, you know, bought the farm

1010
01:07:54,359 --> 01:07:58,022
and, you know, put all of his... His scandalous sex

1011
01:07:58,142 --> 01:08:02,865
movie money, you know, Fifty Shades of Grey. Fifty Shades

1012
01:08:02,865 --> 01:08:07,028
pays off. That's right. Put it into land. And he

1013
01:08:07,068 --> 01:08:08,769
said, I've never worked as hard in my life. And,

1014
01:08:08,789 --> 01:08:11,471
you know, he's out on the ranch. But, you know,

1015
01:08:12,311 --> 01:08:14,613
he would take his gummy in the evening and call

1016
01:08:14,693 --> 01:08:18,055
Dvorak. And so now he's calling me. I'm like, dude,

1017
01:08:18,095 --> 01:08:19,997
you know, you're in the wrong time zone. I'm sitting

1018
01:08:20,037 --> 01:08:21,898
down to dinner right now. I can't talk to you.

1019
01:08:22,318 --> 01:08:28,282
But, you know, so I talked to him. So. This

1020
01:08:28,382 --> 01:08:33,126
week is... It's still, you know, weird, obviously, because after.

1021
01:08:34,086 --> 01:08:36,128
We get on a plane tomorrow, and I got to

1022
01:08:36,128 --> 01:08:38,329
think about what I'm going to say at the memorial.

1023
01:08:38,349 --> 01:08:39,910
I don't know. What do you say at a memorial?

1024
01:08:39,930 --> 01:08:41,531
What am I going to wear? What am I going

1025
01:08:41,571 --> 01:08:45,594
to say? Right. I was like, ah, you know, I

1026
01:08:45,734 --> 01:08:47,315
said it all on the show. I don't want to

1027
01:08:47,375 --> 01:08:49,136
be, I don't want to be reading from a piece

1028
01:08:49,196 --> 01:08:51,898
of paper. There's gonna be all kinds of interesting people

1029
01:08:51,978 --> 01:08:58,262
there. remember the good times. You remember the laughter. I

1030
01:08:58,283 --> 01:09:02,725
mean, that's it. You know, there are... Times when people

1031
01:09:02,806 --> 01:09:05,307
die where it's, you know, they're young and nobody saw

1032
01:09:05,407 --> 01:09:07,789
it coming. They didn't have a full life. That's sad.

1033
01:09:07,909 --> 01:09:12,332
JCD lived a kick-ass life. Well, you could just go

1034
01:09:12,452 --> 01:09:14,333
for a laugh and say what you're saying in Dutch.

1035
01:09:16,495 --> 01:09:22,639
We don't know what he's saying. Oh man. Yeah, maybe

1036
01:09:22,659 --> 01:09:25,101
I'd just do that. Remember the time when he took

1037
01:09:25,181 --> 01:09:27,182
a gummy and he was still high the next day

1038
01:09:27,242 --> 01:09:30,104
and he got on the show? Why not? Show number,

1039
01:09:30,184 --> 01:09:33,426
please. I'd like to. I can't remember what that was.

1040
01:09:34,107 --> 01:09:41,972
Go to BingIt.io. Um... And so Sunday. I'd love to

1041
01:09:42,032 --> 01:09:45,294
check in with you guys again. to tell you about

1042
01:09:45,314 --> 01:09:50,458
the memorial, how everything went. Now, there's also Jay's baby

1043
01:09:50,538 --> 01:09:54,020
shower on Sunday, which is actually scheduled for Saturday, because

1044
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,522
8-8 is the Dvorak's number, as you know. That's also

1045
01:09:56,582 --> 01:10:02,446
their wedding anniversary, so lots of 8s. And. Man, I'm

1046
01:10:02,526 --> 01:10:06,789
expecting a crap ton of meetup reports. Have you seen

1047
01:10:06,869 --> 01:10:10,171
the meetup list that's taking place this coming weekend? It's

1048
01:10:10,251 --> 01:10:14,714
crazy. That really warms my heart, man, that there's so

1049
01:10:14,814 --> 01:10:22,159
many people. just want to Yeah, memorialize John, think about

1050
01:10:22,179 --> 01:10:25,241
him, you know, get together. And I hope that continues.

1051
01:10:25,301 --> 01:10:28,243
These meetups, I hope if this show blew up right

1052
01:10:28,343 --> 01:10:30,305
now that people would still do that. That is the

1053
01:10:30,445 --> 01:10:33,967
win of this show. Have you ever been to a

1054
01:10:33,967 --> 01:10:37,109
meetup, Larry? A couple of them, yeah. Terrific. I got

1055
01:10:37,129 --> 01:10:39,971
to meet Dame Kenny Bennett one here in Connecticut. Oh,

1056
01:10:40,351 --> 01:10:43,694
perfect, perfect. And what's so great about them is that

1057
01:10:43,854 --> 01:10:46,576
you get together like, I never would have met this

1058
01:10:46,676 --> 01:10:50,218
person unless it was a Noah Jenna meetup. and people

1059
01:10:50,278 --> 01:10:55,562
who are inherently introverted and shy. And, you know, I've

1060
01:10:55,622 --> 01:10:57,523
seen it over and over again. They come to the

1061
01:10:57,523 --> 01:10:59,624
meetup. They're like, they open up. This is my people.

1062
01:10:59,965 --> 01:11:01,966
We're all messed up. We're all nuts. We're all kooky.

1063
01:11:02,766 --> 01:11:05,148
It's perfect. I love that. I hope that always continues.

1064
01:11:07,189 --> 01:11:09,351
And then we'll just see where we go. If you

1065
01:11:09,431 --> 01:11:12,593
guys are good with me coming in on Sunday and

1066
01:11:12,913 --> 01:11:15,335
maybe we'll see what we do the next Thursday, that

1067
01:11:15,375 --> 01:11:18,297
would really be good. If you don't, I'll be mad

1068
01:11:18,357 --> 01:11:28,124
at you. Meanwhile, What's going on with Michigan, man? What's

1069
01:11:28,184 --> 01:11:31,286
going on with the... This is... Tell me if I

1070
01:11:31,366 --> 01:11:37,610
got this right. Okay. So... We all know Dearborn, Michigan,

1071
01:11:37,710 --> 01:11:39,751
of course, you know, the Muslims are taking over. I

1072
01:11:39,811 --> 01:11:42,113
can't believe that I had to fight off some some

1073
01:11:42,193 --> 01:11:44,735
Islamists right outside my door here in Texas. As you

1074
01:11:44,775 --> 01:11:46,996
know, there's mosques everywhere. It's just popping up all the

1075
01:11:47,016 --> 01:11:50,779
time. We're all going to die now. Dearborn and we

1076
01:11:50,859 --> 01:11:52,980
have producers in Dearborn. They're like, yeah, there's a lot

1077
01:11:53,020 --> 01:11:56,603
of Arab Americans. But OK, but, you know, you look

1078
01:11:56,743 --> 01:11:59,305
on you look on X. It's like you think that,

1079
01:11:59,565 --> 01:12:02,387
you know, we're living in the Middle East. And the

1080
01:12:02,487 --> 01:12:07,370
end is near. But these Democrat socialists, these DSA guys,

1081
01:12:07,950 --> 01:12:10,352
so this, what is it, El-Sayed, is that his last

1082
01:12:10,432 --> 01:12:16,396
name? Abdul El-Sayed. Abdul El-Sayed. So I think this is

1083
01:12:16,476 --> 01:12:22,220
great. And he's running for senator? Is that it? Yeah.

1084
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,843
So this is great because, you know, just because people

1085
01:12:26,863 --> 01:12:30,065
who showed up to a primary voted this guy in,

1086
01:12:30,085 --> 01:12:33,548
and we know exactly how primaries work. This guy will

1087
01:12:33,608 --> 01:12:40,993
never be senator. Not in Michigan. You would think. No,

1088
01:12:41,233 --> 01:12:46,516
no, no. We need more of these idiots. More of

1089
01:12:46,556 --> 01:12:49,879
these idiots need to be winning primaries. But then the

1090
01:12:49,939 --> 01:12:58,064
crazy thing is you had the... What is the... The

1091
01:12:58,104 --> 01:13:02,107
guy that Trump backed for the Republican for Michigan 8,

1092
01:13:02,207 --> 01:13:06,870
I think it is. his name hold on a second

1093
01:13:09,272 --> 01:13:12,894
He knows everything about it. Amir, Amir, yes, Amir Hassan.

1094
01:13:13,294 --> 01:13:16,717
Amir Hassan. So I think what happened here, Amir Hassan

1095
01:13:16,837 --> 01:13:19,599
loses to a guy who had dropped out of the

1096
01:13:19,619 --> 01:13:27,044
race. Hmm. And I think it's because... You know, the

1097
01:13:27,084 --> 01:13:29,445
media was so strong about, oh, the Muslims are like,

1098
01:13:29,525 --> 01:13:31,507
oh, that must be that Muslim guy. No, I'm not

1099
01:13:31,527 --> 01:13:35,429
going to vote for him. You know, this country, our

1100
01:13:35,529 --> 01:13:40,253
country is in big trouble. Big trouble. Yeah, I brought

1101
01:13:40,293 --> 01:13:43,535
some clips with me of the El Sayed guy first.

1102
01:13:43,695 --> 01:13:45,376
All right, y'all, look, I wish I could tell you.

1103
01:13:46,097 --> 01:13:49,739
that I was declaring victory right about now. Turns out

1104
01:13:49,779 --> 01:13:51,440
it takes a long time to count some votes in

1105
01:13:51,480 --> 01:13:54,602
Michigan. It's a big state. Listen to that cadence. Who

1106
01:13:54,662 --> 01:13:59,586
does he sound like? Barack Obama. Yes. He's like he's

1107
01:13:59,606 --> 01:14:03,588
been hanging out with him having coffee. That's amazing. Look

1108
01:14:03,708 --> 01:14:06,971
at his face. He's been trained to smile by Mandani.

1109
01:14:07,131 --> 01:14:09,993
He never leaves his mug. No kidding. It's etched on

1110
01:14:10,053 --> 01:14:13,415
his face. Yeah. It's crazy. Turns out it takes a

1111
01:14:13,455 --> 01:14:15,657
long time to count some votes in Michigan. Count some

1112
01:14:15,677 --> 01:14:20,280
votes in Michigan. Barack Obama. It's a big state. Big

1113
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:32,128
state. Cross! movement that we built. There was an inspiration

1114
01:14:32,308 --> 01:14:35,330
in the idea that we could take our government back.

1115
01:14:35,750 --> 01:14:38,172
Take it back! Government of the people, by the people,

1116
01:14:38,292 --> 01:14:40,613
and for the people instead of government of the corporations,

1117
01:14:40,713 --> 01:14:46,357
by the special interests, and for the billionaire. It's all

1118
01:14:46,397 --> 01:14:49,359
12-year-olds. I can hear them. Give me some free stuff.

1119
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,102
A lot of that history was built on a set

1120
01:14:53,222 --> 01:14:59,966
of foundational errors. Whatever happens tonight. We have a response.

1121
01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:05,003
to assure that we unite to make sure that Mike

1122
01:15:05,063 --> 01:15:09,086
Rogers never sees the inside of the U.S. Senate. Now,

1123
01:15:09,586 --> 01:15:13,168
this is interesting. Mike Rogers is a tool. We've always

1124
01:15:13,188 --> 01:15:17,351
thought this guy was a loser, didn't we? Wasn't he

1125
01:15:17,611 --> 01:15:20,934
like, he was a military guy and he would always

1126
01:15:20,954 --> 01:15:24,016
be on Fox and he was always talking about, yeah,

1127
01:15:24,096 --> 01:15:25,737
no, we got to do that. Unless I have the

1128
01:15:25,877 --> 01:15:28,319
wrong Mike Rogers in front of me. I think that's

1129
01:15:28,359 --> 01:15:34,283
the guy. I think that's the guy. So, first of

1130
01:15:34,343 --> 01:15:38,866
all, man, it's so funny. I live in Hill Country,

1131
01:15:38,946 --> 01:15:42,368
Texas, and people here are like, they're winning, they're winning.

1132
01:15:42,488 --> 01:15:49,593
It's a primary, okay? Shh, shh, shh. They're coming, they're

1133
01:15:49,593 --> 01:15:53,375
coming, they're coming. Look at London, look at England, look

1134
01:15:53,435 --> 01:15:58,459
at France, look everywhere. That took 20 f- And you

1135
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:05,464
know why? voted. The idiots stayed home. ever, you know,

1136
01:16:05,484 --> 01:16:15,370
eh, And apathy, pure apathy. that happened here. Al Sayed

1137
01:16:15,370 --> 01:16:19,673
will now face the court. of trying to unify the

1138
01:16:20,454 --> 01:16:22,915
factions of the party ahead of the general that's no

1139
01:16:23,035 --> 01:16:28,019
small and has progressed. We're up against more than six.

1140
01:16:28,879 --> 01:16:59,020
dollars in out top Democrat. beyond. Uh, Can we take

1141
01:16:59,060 --> 01:17:02,462
that off the table once and for all? Just because

1142
01:17:02,482 --> 01:17:04,583
you got APAC money doesn't mean you're going to win.

1143
01:17:04,704 --> 01:17:11,468
There's the proof right there. Yeah. It really is. I

1144
01:17:11,528 --> 01:17:14,050
mean, it's, you know, you say there's, he's never going

1145
01:17:14,050 --> 01:17:16,131
to win, but everybody said that about New York too

1146
01:17:16,211 --> 01:17:25,037
with man. That ranked voting, and it's a mayoral election.

1147
01:17:26,758 --> 01:17:31,782
But Mondani is definitely the writing on the wall. Where

1148
01:17:31,842 --> 01:17:34,544
I used to live in the UK in Guilford, and

1149
01:17:34,584 --> 01:17:37,546
my buddy still lives there, he had clubs. He had

1150
01:17:37,586 --> 01:17:40,688
an awesome pole dancing club. It was just the best.

1151
01:17:40,728 --> 01:17:44,370
Michelle Harper, my buddy from Guilford. It's a good friend

1152
01:17:45,111 --> 01:17:47,332
of mine. It was great. A house in Saint-Tropez. I

1153
01:17:47,412 --> 01:17:56,559
mean, the works, right? Perfect. There's a Islamist mayor. And,

1154
01:17:56,699 --> 01:17:59,661
you know, this is still a town built around a

1155
01:17:59,761 --> 01:18:02,763
church, you know, Church of England. You know, the kids

1156
01:18:02,763 --> 01:18:04,724
would all hang out. Where are you going? Going to

1157
01:18:04,724 --> 01:18:06,665
the church grounds, you know, because it was just it

1158
01:18:06,705 --> 01:18:10,988
was a big part of the whole town. And now

1159
01:18:11,048 --> 01:18:16,652
they start off with Muslim prayer. You know, the whole

1160
01:18:16,792 --> 01:18:20,215
it's just changed. But it's because nobody they just let

1161
01:18:20,275 --> 01:18:23,437
it go. They just, oh, well, whatever. you know and

1162
01:18:23,737 --> 01:18:27,379
and it's like we're americans like what are we worried

1163
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,822
about you know just stop that yeah there's a little

1164
01:18:30,962 --> 01:18:33,704
more fight hopefully like the irish they're finally turning a

1165
01:18:34,064 --> 01:18:36,225
little bit around and saying no we don't want this

1166
01:18:37,466 --> 01:18:39,748
you know which irish where are the irish doing this

1167
01:18:40,668 --> 01:18:42,850
show me the irish there were some of them when

1168
01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:46,632
all of these uh when uh was there a girl

1169
01:18:46,712 --> 01:18:48,734
that was like beaten there was a bunch of things

1170
01:18:48,814 --> 01:18:52,776
going on and uh i mean i'm not saying anything's

1171
01:18:52,817 --> 01:18:54,998
going to change, but there were at least people in

1172
01:18:55,078 --> 01:18:59,921
the streets that were trying to do something, although, will

1173
01:18:59,961 --> 01:19:02,903
their government, listen, that's a different question. Yeah, but you

1174
01:19:03,003 --> 01:19:06,846
gotta run for government. That's the point. You don't want

1175
01:19:06,926 --> 01:19:10,068
mosques in your neighborhood? Get on the zoning board. Hello,

1176
01:19:10,188 --> 01:19:13,030
it's not that hard. There's three other people who might

1177
01:19:13,130 --> 01:19:17,353
be your opponents. It's not that hard. I mean, our

1178
01:19:17,473 --> 01:19:25,719
church literally elected our mayor here in Fredericksburg. people. 1,000

1179
01:19:25,779 --> 01:19:30,062
people attend our church. There's 20 churches in the area,

1180
01:19:30,242 --> 01:19:33,684
but I think we're one of the biggest. And one

1181
01:19:33,724 --> 01:19:35,205
of the guys in our church said, yeah, I'm going

1182
01:19:35,205 --> 01:19:38,968
to stand for mayor because we don't really... This particular

1183
01:19:39,028 --> 01:19:42,410
person who's running for mayor, we think she has some

1184
01:19:42,490 --> 01:19:47,894
liberal policies that we don't want. And so we motivated

1185
01:19:47,954 --> 01:19:50,676
everybody to vote. He won by 55 votes. But it

1186
01:19:50,716 --> 01:19:54,558
was only 600 votes. It wasn't like the whole town

1187
01:19:54,658 --> 01:19:58,601
came out. It's not that hard. Now, arguably, when I

1188
01:19:58,761 --> 01:20:01,543
interviewed him and did a podcast with him, we had

1189
01:20:01,583 --> 01:20:04,165
about 75 people listening. Maybe that was it. I don't

1190
01:20:04,185 --> 01:20:08,888
know. Who knows? Who knows? But it's not that hard.

1191
01:20:09,668 --> 01:20:13,151
Run for city council. Run for school board. Everyone sit

1192
01:20:13,211 --> 01:20:18,294
at home on their phone. Yeah, they want to bitch

1193
01:20:18,334 --> 01:20:23,798
on X, but not actually do anything about it. Exactly.

1194
01:20:23,858 --> 01:20:27,600
No, no. Now, the president, he just bitches in front

1195
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:33,404
of large crowds. The disaster known as not socialism, communism.

1196
01:20:33,464 --> 01:20:38,788
It's communism. He's a communist. And the polls were wrong.

1197
01:20:41,330 --> 01:20:44,452
a landslide victory for a hater of Jews and a

1198
01:20:44,472 --> 01:21:01,003
hater of Israel. El Sayyad, do you believe this? only

1199
01:21:01,063 --> 01:21:06,327
happened to me. Abdul El-Sayed, lovely gentleman, he's a man

1200
01:21:06,407 --> 01:21:08,828
of hate. And now he's going around saying, no, I

1201
01:21:08,908 --> 01:21:11,770
love everybody. I love, he doesn't love everybody. Put him

1202
01:21:11,850 --> 01:21:13,491
in office. You're going to find out what he loves.

1203
01:21:14,952 --> 01:21:19,015
He doesn't love Israel. He doesn't love Jewish people. He

1204
01:21:19,135 --> 01:21:22,157
hates them. He hates them with a passion that burns

1205
01:21:22,277 --> 01:21:24,699
in his heart and there's not a freaking thing he

1206
01:21:24,759 --> 01:21:26,960
can do about it. There's not a thing he can

1207
01:21:27,020 --> 01:21:29,702
do about it because he hates them. Yeah, and then

1208
01:21:29,762 --> 01:21:32,524
of course we have the punchline. He doesn't love Israel.

1209
01:21:33,405 --> 01:21:36,367
He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates them. When I

1210
01:21:36,467 --> 01:21:44,813
watch Abdul, he's full of shit. There we go. Yeah,

1211
01:21:45,013 --> 01:21:47,935
that's your president, everybody. Let's see, this is CNN. This

1212
01:21:48,175 --> 01:21:50,737
is full of shit. Before we get into everything else,

1213
01:21:50,817 --> 01:21:52,718
and there's a lot for us to talk about, what

1214
01:21:52,798 --> 01:21:55,940
is your response to the president? I'm glad he thinks

1215
01:21:55,980 --> 01:21:57,921
I'm a lovely gentleman. A lot of people think so.

1216
01:21:58,902 --> 01:22:00,843
Look, you know, this is the response that they have.

1217
01:22:00,863 --> 01:22:05,767
This, by the way, is the Maumdani DSA training. I

1218
01:22:05,847 --> 01:22:10,550
think Maumdani said this exact same thing. Exact same response.

1219
01:22:10,750 --> 01:22:15,093
And these guys, they're organized. They are definitely organized. To

1220
01:22:15,153 --> 01:22:17,915
the president. I'm glad he thinks I'm a lovely gentleman.

1221
01:22:18,255 --> 01:22:20,877
A lot of people think so. Look, you know, this

1222
01:22:20,957 --> 01:22:23,318
is the response that they have. You notice what he

1223
01:22:23,399 --> 01:22:25,480
talked about. First, look at the background. It says no

1224
01:22:25,580 --> 01:22:28,902
tax on tips. The man can't stay on focus. That's

1225
01:22:28,902 --> 01:22:31,924
like the one thing that he did to offer any

1226
01:22:32,104 --> 01:22:35,947
economic relief. But instead of that, he's more focused on

1227
01:22:36,087 --> 01:22:39,389
me and what I'm going to do while we're living

1228
01:22:39,469 --> 01:22:43,452
through an affordability crisis that is generational. People are paying

1229
01:22:43,452 --> 01:22:45,774
nearly $5 in gas because of the war he started.

1230
01:22:45,794 --> 01:22:47,615
And half the time, if he's not talking about me,

1231
01:22:47,715 --> 01:22:50,897
he's talking about the drapes in his ballroom. Yeah, yeah,

1232
01:22:50,897 --> 01:22:54,880
yeah, yeah. Okay. We got a clip of this. Adam

1233
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:59,623
and so chilling because it was something he didn't believe

1234
01:22:59,663 --> 01:23:02,945
was being recorded and he was talking to someone who

1235
01:23:03,005 --> 01:23:06,588
was oh Did he sound completely differently like AOC? Oh

1236
01:23:06,648 --> 01:23:09,189
totally different he said yeah, but what he was saying

1237
01:23:09,269 --> 01:23:11,951
was it was really creepy because it wasn't like I'm

1238
01:23:12,251 --> 01:23:15,574
I'm running for senator He was saying I'm the guy

1239
01:23:15,674 --> 01:23:19,997
that's going to craft the dialogue of the next president

1240
01:23:21,097 --> 01:23:23,319
And I'm gonna do it with memes. I've got a

1241
01:23:23,379 --> 01:23:28,783
dilute and reduce our policies to a level where the

1242
01:23:28,803 --> 01:23:32,185
masses can understand them more clearly. In other words, camouflage

1243
01:23:32,265 --> 01:23:36,128
them. And it was incredible. It was just like one...

1244
01:23:36,788 --> 01:23:40,651
Who is this guy? running for senator or is he

1245
01:23:40,731 --> 01:23:43,873
part of some larger cabal of evil? It was very,

1246
01:23:43,933 --> 01:23:47,735
very creepy. Well, the DSA, you know, that started with,

1247
01:23:48,076 --> 01:23:56,141
how was the name? group the the freedom dem Justice

1248
01:23:56,201 --> 01:24:01,144
Democrats, I think that was Cenk from Young Turks was

1249
01:24:01,244 --> 01:24:06,748
a part of that. Yeah, they had quite a little

1250
01:24:06,768 --> 01:24:10,811
machine going for a while. And just to remind everybody,

1251
01:24:11,311 --> 01:24:16,875
they literally found Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a bar and had

1252
01:24:16,935 --> 01:24:19,457
her audition. She thought she was just going for like

1253
01:24:19,497 --> 01:24:24,840
an actress. You're much better. She was. Yeah. Well, yeah,

1254
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,642
it's a good gig. It's a good gig. But no,

1255
01:24:27,742 --> 01:24:31,585
at this point, she's molded. She's a politician. And we've

1256
01:24:31,605 --> 01:24:34,087
been watching the West Wing. We've been re-watching the West,

1257
01:24:34,147 --> 01:24:37,549
which I never really watched back in the day because,

1258
01:24:37,629 --> 01:24:40,011
let's face it, I was on MTV. I'm going to

1259
01:24:40,071 --> 01:24:46,055
waste my time watching television, please. Man, it's worth watching.

1260
01:24:47,216 --> 01:24:52,299
you can see all of the policies of Obama, all

1261
01:24:52,359 --> 01:24:54,981
of them, all of them. But also, you see that

1262
01:24:55,301 --> 01:24:57,943
how the sausage is really made. And nobody gives a

1263
01:24:58,023 --> 01:25:01,465
crap about the American people. It's all about deals and

1264
01:25:01,505 --> 01:25:04,107
who do we get for this. And ultimately, it's like,

1265
01:25:04,147 --> 01:25:06,128
oh, yeah, well, we want to have a national seatbelt

1266
01:25:06,188 --> 01:25:09,691
law because it'll save 5,000. It's all statistics. They completely...

1267
01:25:10,731 --> 01:25:13,613
from the world. And I think we should take some

1268
01:25:13,633 --> 01:25:16,835
of that back. We can. And the way to do

1269
01:25:16,916 --> 01:25:19,757
that is with free groceries. Question about the essential basket

1270
01:25:19,818 --> 01:25:22,419
of goods. You said they're going to be 30% cheaper

1271
01:25:22,579 --> 01:25:24,401
than they would be at the grocery store down the

1272
01:25:24,401 --> 01:25:26,362
street, or even if there's one not down the street,

1273
01:25:26,522 --> 01:25:28,563
if it's a food desert. How are you going to

1274
01:25:28,583 --> 01:25:34,167
keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically? And

1275
01:25:34,367 --> 01:25:35,648
is there going to be a limit on the number

1276
01:25:35,928 --> 01:25:38,110
of items that someone can take that are discounted at

1277
01:25:38,130 --> 01:25:41,472
that level? central basket. So our RFP makes very clear

1278
01:25:41,552 --> 01:25:51,219
that this is- I love this answer. No one- Right,

1279
01:25:51,639 --> 01:26:03,647
the RFP. proposals. That's like... That's like... It's advertising. Well,

1280
01:26:03,727 --> 01:26:09,251
yeah. I mean, I've written hundreds of RFPs when I

1281
01:26:09,331 --> 01:26:14,014
was doing websites and campaigns for big brands. And they

1282
01:26:14,054 --> 01:26:16,516
would say, well, our RFP, you know, like Gillette. Gillette

1283
01:26:16,576 --> 01:26:19,998
was a good customer. It was a good example. RFP

1284
01:26:20,278 --> 01:26:23,781
called me. Can you imagine that there's a shareholders meeting

1285
01:26:24,181 --> 01:26:26,983
and they ask about some very strategic thing? And the

1286
01:26:27,043 --> 01:26:31,126
chairman of Gillette says, well, our RFP says this. it

1287
01:26:31,166 --> 01:26:34,388
means like so you told you have a request for

1288
01:26:34,448 --> 01:26:40,592
proposals out there that is properly and then it'll run

1289
01:26:40,672 --> 01:26:46,816
well who's running this eight commies like commies So our

1290
01:26:46,836 --> 01:26:50,379
RFP makes very clear that this is a program for

1291
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,320
New Yorkers to be able to put food on the

1292
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:54,441
table, not a program for people to be able to

1293
01:26:54,461 --> 01:26:56,122
make a quick buck through reselling. I'm going to pass

1294
01:26:56,162 --> 01:26:58,484
it over to our EDC head, G-Pac, to add some

1295
01:26:58,504 --> 01:27:07,050
additional details. What's your name? G-B-Chak-Chad? I love this. But

1296
01:27:07,050 --> 01:27:08,731
I'm going to pass that on to the person who

1297
01:27:08,791 --> 01:27:10,932
wrote the RFP because I really don't know what I'm

1298
01:27:10,952 --> 01:27:15,015
talking about. Exactly. Just imagine writing the RFP. It's one

1299
01:27:15,075 --> 01:27:20,199
page. put food on the table. Well crap, I'll do

1300
01:27:20,299 --> 01:27:22,040
that. All right, here's your free grocery store, now give

1301
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:26,803
me the money. And she does the same thing. Yes,

1302
01:27:26,823 --> 01:27:29,105
if you look at our RFP for the operator, we-

1303
01:27:30,025 --> 01:27:31,907
We don't even know who the operator is? Isn't the

1304
01:27:31,967 --> 01:27:34,668
city of New York the operator? What is happening here?

1305
01:27:34,688 --> 01:27:37,210
They've got to hire five different people for one in

1306
01:27:37,310 --> 01:27:40,532
each borough to do it. What is going on? Oh,

1307
01:27:40,612 --> 01:27:44,335
man. Yes, if you look at our RFP for the

1308
01:27:44,395 --> 01:27:49,398
operator, we are we target New Yorkers, whether it be

1309
01:27:49,578 --> 01:27:52,160
at sort of a library card exit, and also we

1310
01:27:52,380 --> 01:27:56,163
manage who's buying and that is focused on everyday New

1311
01:27:56,203 --> 01:27:59,565
Yorkers. So we are mindful of that. Mindful. And so

1312
01:27:59,625 --> 01:28:01,166
we're going to make sure that we have all the

1313
01:28:01,627 --> 01:28:03,528
things in place to make sure that that does not

1314
01:28:03,588 --> 01:28:06,130
happen. Yeah. In other words, ID cards. And of course...

1315
01:28:07,711 --> 01:28:09,812
all over that like well you need an id card

1316
01:28:09,852 --> 01:28:12,074
to get free groceries but not to vote and i

1317
01:28:12,174 --> 01:28:15,076
see you sir bemer sir bemero's like well you can't

1318
01:28:15,136 --> 01:28:19,659
stand for elections if it's all rigged dude kind of

1319
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:26,003
that's like what are you laying on your back with

1320
01:28:26,043 --> 01:28:31,367
you with you This is so wrong. Oh, no. Don't

1321
01:28:31,447 --> 01:28:35,810
give up, Sir Bemrose. paper ballots here in Fredericksburg, I'll

1322
01:28:35,830 --> 01:28:39,932
tell you that. We just made sure that happens. Done.

1323
01:28:40,313 --> 01:28:43,435
Done, done, done. Yeah. But I actually have a clip

1324
01:28:43,495 --> 01:28:47,738
here. He went on Joy Reid because, you know, they're

1325
01:28:47,758 --> 01:28:50,880
not really asking for ID. We're talking about a city-run

1326
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,522
grocery store, one in each borough, which, by the way,

1327
01:28:53,822 --> 01:28:55,823
you do not need an ID to shop at. Did

1328
01:28:55,983 --> 01:28:57,805
you see the laugh towel I learned from Adam and

1329
01:28:57,805 --> 01:29:02,408
John? Yeah, yeah, nice. You do not need an ID

1330
01:29:02,588 --> 01:29:05,169
to shop at, no matter what you've just heard. news

1331
01:29:05,250 --> 01:29:08,972
of today. We're talking about- I know, it's like really

1332
01:29:09,052 --> 01:29:13,595
dude, come on. Actually addressing the question of skyrocketing grocery

1333
01:29:13,655 --> 01:29:17,118
prices. We've seen in the last six or seven years

1334
01:29:17,218 --> 01:29:20,680
alone, an increase in grocery prices of around 30%. And

1335
01:29:21,060 --> 01:29:23,122
we are going to be delivering a city run grocery

1336
01:29:23,182 --> 01:29:25,543
store, one in each borough, five in total, that will

1337
01:29:25,583 --> 01:29:30,787
have the staples of a shopping experience. that are discounted

1338
01:29:31,067 --> 01:29:34,369
by 30% compared to typical retail prices. And that is

1339
01:29:34,409 --> 01:29:36,431
something that New Yorkers will be able to feel in

1340
01:29:36,511 --> 01:29:40,773
their pocket. Wait a minute, wait a minute. It's not

1341
01:29:40,773 --> 01:29:46,858
free. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's a non-profit, essentially. Well,

1342
01:29:46,858 --> 01:29:50,360
they're basically saying they're going to lose about 20-some-odd percent

1343
01:29:50,900 --> 01:29:55,684
on every... comes in the door, which is it's a

1344
01:29:56,164 --> 01:29:59,906
subsidy, but it's also going to create.

1345
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,002
deserts because if you're running a bodega near one of

1346
01:30:03,042 --> 01:30:06,284
these places you're probably not going to be selling any

1347
01:30:06,404 --> 01:30:10,527
of the staples that this store will have for as

1348
01:30:10,607 --> 01:30:14,609
ever how long these stores last anyway Okay, this is

1349
01:30:14,669 --> 01:30:18,552
interesting. I thought it was going to be free. That

1350
01:30:18,592 --> 01:30:21,814
was the initial sell. It was the initial sell. Yeah,

1351
01:30:22,094 --> 01:30:24,376
it's going to be free and everything will be groovy.

1352
01:30:25,216 --> 01:30:28,719
Well, free buses were sold too, right? Yes. Free buses.

1353
01:30:30,220 --> 01:30:33,502
Yeah, that hasn't happened either, I presume. But the wheels

1354
01:30:33,562 --> 01:30:38,485
on the bus go round and round. Round wheels. Singing

1355
01:30:38,586 --> 01:30:43,889
it. So this, uh... He's basically playing on the affordability

1356
01:30:43,949 --> 01:30:49,593
crisis. The chairman of Bank of America was on CNBC.

1357
01:30:51,494 --> 01:30:54,696
in a different context because he was there to say,

1358
01:30:55,117 --> 01:30:59,920
"Woo! Boy, we didn't go bankrupt because of that 24-year-old

1359
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,362
wunderkind who had the AI hedge fund that blew up."

1360
01:31:03,422 --> 01:31:06,945
Did you follow that? Not as closely. Oh, so it

1361
01:31:06,945 --> 01:31:09,346
was this kid who was, that I can say kid,

1362
01:31:09,406 --> 01:31:13,529
he's 24, ex-open AI, then he left with a lot

1363
01:31:13,589 --> 01:31:15,991
of money, I'm sure he left, he sold his inside

1364
01:31:16,071 --> 01:31:19,773
shares, and he started a hedge fund. He wrote this

1365
01:31:19,893 --> 01:31:22,895
paper, which like the oil baron sent it to me

1366
01:31:23,035 --> 01:31:24,957
and all it like, look at this. This is a

1367
01:31:25,117 --> 01:31:28,059
genius. This is boy wonder. This is fun. It was

1368
01:31:28,119 --> 01:31:32,522
like 80 pages. Yeah. It was all these complicated formulas

1369
01:31:32,642 --> 01:31:35,064
and, you know, stuff with, with, you know, like a.

1370
01:31:35,964 --> 01:31:40,127
squiggle there and an epsilon, all these different, I don't

1371
01:31:40,127 --> 01:31:44,270
know what this means, but basically invest in my hedge

1372
01:31:44,330 --> 01:31:46,411
fund, you'll get rich. And he grew it from 3

1373
01:31:46,491 --> 01:31:50,654
billion to 45 billion. And then, but it was all

1374
01:31:50,754 --> 01:31:54,617
leveraged. Yes. And he had made a bet that the

1375
01:31:54,697 --> 01:32:01,201
traditional software firms. you know, that. Probably, I would say,

1376
01:32:01,341 --> 01:32:06,665
like Salesforce and lots of other companies that make specialized

1377
01:32:06,685 --> 01:32:11,588
software for finance and other types of industries. They would

1378
01:32:11,628 --> 01:32:14,110
tank, and they didn't. And so he got in a

1379
01:32:14,190 --> 01:32:18,213
short squeeze, and then Bank of America, through their Citadel,

1380
01:32:18,593 --> 01:32:21,175
Citadel, I think it is, their hedge fund, bought him

1381
01:32:21,315 --> 01:32:24,617
out. You know, pennies on the dollar, whatever. But that

1382
01:32:24,757 --> 01:32:28,159
could have completely destroyed Bank of America. So the guy

1383
01:32:28,239 --> 01:32:32,582
was on in that context. And they ask him about

1384
01:32:32,602 --> 01:32:35,164
affordability. And I think what he's saying here is true.

1385
01:32:35,604 --> 01:32:37,486
And this is something John and I would talk about

1386
01:32:37,606 --> 01:32:40,428
all the time when it came to, are we in

1387
01:32:40,468 --> 01:32:43,410
a depression? Are we in a recession? It was all

1388
01:32:44,210 --> 01:32:48,593
really what we think we're in. It's very good. You

1389
01:32:48,633 --> 01:32:50,514
look at a lot of polls, people talk about affordability

1390
01:32:50,555 --> 01:32:53,376
and affordability crisis. Do you think we have an affordability

1391
01:32:53,436 --> 01:32:55,278
crisis based on these numbers? I think we have an

1392
01:32:55,318 --> 01:32:58,800
affordability crisis because people believe there's affordability crisis, which will

1393
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:00,821
shape their behavior. if it doesn't come in the line.

1394
01:33:00,841 --> 01:33:03,783
That's largely around housing and rent costs, which are still

1395
01:33:04,244 --> 01:33:06,665
rising, but rising at a less fast rate. It's around

1396
01:33:06,725 --> 01:33:09,127
insurance costs, which actually came back in line. It's around

1397
01:33:09,167 --> 01:33:13,630
food costs and gas costs. And so if a deal

1398
01:33:13,690 --> 01:33:15,832
gets worked out and gas prices come back down, that

1399
01:33:15,852 --> 01:33:17,473
takes away one of the concerns. But it's a real

1400
01:33:17,573 --> 01:33:22,836
issue. It's just the say-do paradox is about as high

1401
01:33:22,876 --> 01:33:24,838
as I've ever seen it. So that's what the polls

1402
01:33:24,938 --> 01:33:29,321
say, and it's how people feel. Say-do paradox. Say-do paradox.

1403
01:33:29,641 --> 01:33:33,403
heard that one before. That's fresh. And I think it's

1404
01:33:33,463 --> 01:33:36,806
true. I think you had a lengthy Dutch surname, Adam,

1405
01:33:36,906 --> 01:33:41,529
if I recall correctly. No, it's not Dutch. It's Moynihan.

1406
01:33:42,189 --> 01:33:46,092
Oh, no, then it's a different guy. It's a very

1407
01:33:46,152 --> 01:33:49,214
similar story. I think he lost like $65 billion. It's

1408
01:33:49,254 --> 01:33:52,316
this wonder kid, and he published this vast document that

1409
01:33:52,456 --> 01:33:57,600
wowed everybody. Moynihan? No, it was something like Auchenschloss. It

1410
01:33:57,660 --> 01:33:59,581
began with an A and ended with two S's. I

1411
01:33:59,661 --> 01:34:03,844
can't remember what was in the middle. Yeah, but that's

1412
01:34:03,884 --> 01:34:06,185
the kid. I think that's the kid you're talking about.

1413
01:34:06,225 --> 01:34:12,090
Hold on a second. Situational awareness. Yes, that was part

1414
01:34:12,130 --> 01:34:14,771
of the headline. Yes, yes, yes, yes. That's the one.

1415
01:34:15,011 --> 01:34:18,514
Here's the intro. Again, this firm, I'm told, began the

1416
01:34:18,514 --> 01:34:21,356
year at around $3 billion in asset center management, hit

1417
01:34:21,416 --> 01:34:24,238
a high, as I said, a net NAV of $45

1418
01:34:24,258 --> 01:34:25,999
billion as of July 1st, and you know what the

1419
01:34:25,999 --> 01:34:28,941
month has been like since. NAV is net asset value

1420
01:34:29,041 --> 01:34:33,244
for those wanting to know. And so huge reversals, huge

1421
01:34:33,344 --> 01:34:39,428
losses, had to cover them, and has done so. reporting

1422
01:34:39,548 --> 01:34:41,870
but now we can tell you as well has gone

1423
01:34:41,990 --> 01:34:45,852
to Citadel. The motivation behind Citadel buying this book your

1424
01:34:45,892 --> 01:34:47,874
thoughts? Well first of all they're up right now on

1425
01:34:47,954 --> 01:34:50,095
it I mean they they have ample liquidity to be

1426
01:34:50,155 --> 01:34:52,997
able to actually you know there were this has changed

1427
01:34:53,057 --> 01:34:54,818
so much of course I knew a number of people

1428
01:34:54,838 --> 01:34:57,560
who are negotiating for various parts of the portfolio through

1429
01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:59,822
some of their prime brokers but if you can get

1430
01:34:59,842 --> 01:35:03,044
it all done in one fell swoop with a firm

1431
01:35:03,384 --> 01:35:05,325
like that. Yeah blah blah actually I should have played

1432
01:35:05,365 --> 01:35:08,107
this clip this is this is the breaking. All right

1433
01:35:08,107 --> 01:35:10,369
let's bring in favor who's back with us on an

1434
01:35:10,509 --> 01:35:13,431
update on the hedge fund situational awareness yes we've been

1435
01:35:13,471 --> 01:35:17,614
following of course all morning all morning May even have

1436
01:35:17,694 --> 01:35:19,375
more in a moment, but let me just share with

1437
01:35:19,415 --> 01:35:22,477
you what we can confirm. Please do. That the bulk

1438
01:35:22,757 --> 01:35:27,881
of the public equities portfolio at Situational Awareness, the giant

1439
01:35:27,921 --> 01:35:31,503
hedge fund that had net asset value of some $45

1440
01:35:31,683 --> 01:35:34,225
billion led by that man at the beginning of July,

1441
01:35:34,945 --> 01:35:37,507
has been sold to the hedge fund of Citadel. Yes,

1442
01:35:37,587 --> 01:35:40,189
has been sold. So here's Moynihan, this was the original

1443
01:35:40,269 --> 01:35:42,991
context, talking about, I think he's saying they dodged the

1444
01:35:43,071 --> 01:35:44,892
bullet. Let me ask you a question on the other

1445
01:35:44,932 --> 01:35:47,334
side of that, which is Situational Awareness. They were a

1446
01:35:47,354 --> 01:35:50,336
client of your firm. You had lent to them. I

1447
01:35:50,396 --> 01:35:53,058
think we're all still trying to grapple with the aftermath

1448
01:35:53,138 --> 01:35:57,060
of that, what happened. Has anything changed in terms of

1449
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:00,563
your lending standards to hedge funds and other firms in

1450
01:36:00,603 --> 01:36:04,665
the aftermath of this? Two things. One, I think things

1451
01:36:04,765 --> 01:36:07,407
changed as people saw this move, and there's a natural

1452
01:36:07,427 --> 01:36:10,389
adjustment period. I think anytime one of these happens and

1453
01:36:11,090 --> 01:36:13,171
we're fine, et cetera, et cetera, you always look and

1454
01:36:13,231 --> 01:36:15,613
say, okay, what happened? Should we learn from it? Should

1455
01:36:15,633 --> 01:36:19,435
it change? the tendencies to tighten the underwriting standards just

1456
01:36:19,455 --> 01:36:22,337
to hair to adjust especially with big run-ups and stocks

1457
01:36:22,357 --> 01:36:24,859
so we'll see what happens next but but it's uh

1458
01:36:25,019 --> 01:36:27,541
these are all warning shots of as joe's talking about

1459
01:36:27,581 --> 01:36:30,042
valuations get out leveraging the system gets there you have

1460
01:36:30,042 --> 01:36:32,624
to be careful and we run a great shop and

1461
01:36:32,704 --> 01:36:35,126
so you know that had ken griffin not come in

1462
01:36:35,206 --> 01:36:37,888
though yeah i mean how how damaging would have that

1463
01:36:37,928 --> 01:36:40,470
been i i think we'd have been fine you think

1464
01:36:40,510 --> 01:36:42,951
he's done based on the standards that we planned on

1465
01:36:43,011 --> 01:36:44,993
and that's that would be fine but it's but the

1466
01:36:45,033 --> 01:36:47,294
reality is is that you have to be You have

1467
01:36:47,294 --> 01:36:49,716
to go learn from every lesson of the past. So

1468
01:36:49,776 --> 01:36:52,538
the natural instinct of everybody that participates is, wait a

1469
01:36:52,598 --> 01:36:54,239
second, let's go back and look, and that has a

1470
01:36:54,299 --> 01:36:57,041
tendency to push down a little bit. Yeah, okay. That

1471
01:36:57,121 --> 01:36:59,823
sounded to me like he dodged the bullet. Oh, yeah.

1472
01:37:00,443 --> 01:37:03,625
Nothing bad could have happened. We'd have been good. So

1473
01:37:03,725 --> 01:37:09,669
you had the laugh tale by Mondani? Mamdani. There was.

1474
01:37:10,630 --> 01:37:15,153
other woman ex-open ai board member just to kind of

1475
01:37:15,193 --> 01:37:19,516
stay in the ai stuff and uh you know so

1476
01:37:19,596 --> 01:37:26,381
we've all been following the news how these AI Frontier

1477
01:37:26,501 --> 01:37:33,305
Model Labs. Frontier Model Labs. how they all are selling

1478
01:37:33,345 --> 01:37:35,487
that they have the best model because, well, we broke

1479
01:37:35,547 --> 01:37:37,948
into those guys. Yeah, we broke into that. And you

1480
01:37:37,948 --> 01:37:42,091
know, Meta just yesterday, well, our Muse Spark model, what

1481
01:37:42,151 --> 01:37:46,754
a gay name that is, our Muse Spark model. It

1482
01:37:47,135 --> 01:37:51,237
should have been Sparkle. Yeah, right? It broke, it also

1483
01:37:51,357 --> 01:37:55,260
got out and broke. We have dangerous models too. So

1484
01:37:55,500 --> 01:37:58,983
this is their marketing, which has just turned everybody against

1485
01:37:59,163 --> 01:38:02,885
AI. It's crazy. So here's a, version of well so

1486
01:38:02,925 --> 01:38:07,428
now you know the white house they want Excuse me.

1487
01:38:08,589 --> 01:38:13,352
what these models want is to build what they call

1488
01:38:13,432 --> 01:38:16,915
in business, emote around their business so that no one

1489
01:38:16,975 --> 01:38:20,337
can touch them. And the biggest problem is open source.

1490
01:38:21,278 --> 01:38:25,460
Open source models, I run them. Darren, you run Whisper

1491
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:32,725
probably on your Mac. Oh, yeah. You know, there's no

1492
01:38:32,865 --> 01:38:37,649
reason to pay these exorbitant prices for some basic work.

1493
01:38:37,909 --> 01:38:40,631
You know, it's like, no, it's not necessary. So they

1494
01:38:40,751 --> 01:38:45,694
want to have. either an international panel or, you know,

1495
01:38:45,794 --> 01:38:53,699
different... associations that determine if a model can be released.

1496
01:38:56,121 --> 01:38:58,803
All they really want is just legislation to protect their

1497
01:38:58,863 --> 01:39:01,985
business. That's what they want. And of course, that's not

1498
01:39:02,065 --> 01:39:05,908
good. So, you know, the White House is coming up

1499
01:39:05,968 --> 01:39:09,910
with an AI testing framework. The White House today hosting

1500
01:39:10,070 --> 01:39:13,313
AI companies to discuss the framework for federal testing of

1501
01:39:13,373 --> 01:39:16,555
new AI models. President Trump is not expected to attend.

1502
01:39:16,595 --> 01:39:19,016
That meeting focuses on an executive order, though, that the

1503
01:39:19,037 --> 01:39:21,798
president signed back in June that set up a voluntary

1504
01:39:21,898 --> 01:39:25,281
program for companies to test and vet AI systems for

1505
01:39:25,541 --> 01:39:29,063
safety issues before they're publicly released. The White House has

1506
01:39:29,123 --> 01:39:32,386
not detailed the framework itself and the standards used to

1507
01:39:32,445 --> 01:39:35,708
test the model. are remaining classified. NBC News White House

1508
01:39:35,748 --> 01:39:38,410
correspondent Yamiche Alcindor joining us now to discuss more on

1509
01:39:38,450 --> 01:39:41,512
this. So Yamiche, what risks, I guess, are this AI

1510
01:39:41,612 --> 01:39:43,953
evaluation program designed to address? And I think for many

1511
01:39:43,993 --> 01:39:45,134
folks, they're going to want to know, is this a

1512
01:39:45,214 --> 01:39:48,756
precursor to perhaps a push for more regulation around AI?

1513
01:39:50,217 --> 01:39:53,520
Of course we want regulation. So ABC brings on this

1514
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,822
ex-OpenAI board member. I'm sure it was a woman who

1515
01:39:56,862 --> 01:40:00,585
was pushed off, pushed out, get out. You're a pain

1516
01:40:00,665 --> 01:40:05,168
in the butt. a non-profit to protect the world from

1517
01:40:05,188 --> 01:40:07,970
the dangerous ai she was probably in one of those

1518
01:40:08,590 --> 01:40:12,773
orgy cult things what was that called this like the

1519
01:40:12,833 --> 01:40:16,695
sam bankman freid's thing going on yeah yeah what was

1520
01:40:16,755 --> 01:40:20,378
the it wasn't the altruism effective altruism was that it

1521
01:40:20,418 --> 01:40:24,921
yeah that sounds like effective altruism altruism And so she

1522
01:40:25,181 --> 01:40:29,564
is part of 1,300 employees that are saying, hey, we

1523
01:40:29,624 --> 01:40:32,986
need an emergency brake. We need a brake pedal. We

1524
01:40:33,046 --> 01:40:36,769
need a ripcord, something to stop it when these models

1525
01:40:36,809 --> 01:40:39,351
go out of control. And you want to talk about

1526
01:40:39,451 --> 01:40:42,893
a tell? Listen to this lady. What's your biggest concern

1527
01:40:42,993 --> 01:40:47,656
right now about the rapid development of AI? concern is

1528
01:40:47,956 --> 01:40:51,279
what I'm hearing from inside the companies and in particular

1529
01:40:52,039 --> 01:40:56,542
just this past. What was that about lady? I'll give

1530
01:40:56,582 --> 01:41:00,805
her one, but not what comes. Just this past week,

1531
01:41:00,865 --> 01:41:04,988
we saw 1300 employees of top AI companies saying that

1532
01:41:05,348 --> 01:41:08,190
they don't think they have a brake pedal and they

1533
01:41:08,570 --> 01:41:12,273
hope that outsiders, the government, civil society, the public can

1534
01:41:12,353 --> 01:41:14,715
help them build a brake pedal so they can go

1535
01:41:14,795 --> 01:41:17,516
slower if they need to. They don't really understand the

1536
01:41:17,536 --> 01:41:20,178
technology that they're building. And as we saw with these

1537
01:41:20,358 --> 01:41:23,741
recent incidents, they have trouble controlling it. And so I

1538
01:41:23,781 --> 01:41:26,222
think that's reason for concern. And we've seen some of

1539
01:41:26,222 --> 01:41:28,164
this from the top AI leaders as well, but it's

1540
01:41:28,164 --> 01:41:31,086
kind of a remarkable development here. You've got these leaders

1541
01:41:31,106 --> 01:41:33,327
saying, hey, stop us from doing what we're doing every

1542
01:41:33,407 --> 01:41:36,209
single day because we can't stop ourselves. Like neither of

1543
01:41:36,229 --> 01:41:38,671
these people know what they're talking about, which is great.

1544
01:41:38,751 --> 01:41:41,052
Here's more. How about this legislation being pushed by a

1545
01:41:41,072 --> 01:41:44,134
bipartisan dealer in Congress right now calling for a kill

1546
01:41:44,234 --> 01:41:48,898
switch on AI? any progress, would it make any difference?

1547
01:41:50,178 --> 01:41:52,080
Yeah, this is a bill I think, you know, it's

1548
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,121
going to be tough to get anything through this Congress.

1549
01:41:55,682 --> 01:41:58,264
This is Representative Liu and Moran. It's a bipartisan bill,

1550
01:41:58,344 --> 01:42:01,466
as you say. To me, one interesting thing about this

1551
01:42:01,506 --> 01:42:03,608
bill is that it calls for AI companies to be

1552
01:42:03,648 --> 01:42:07,310
able to have a kill switch for their models. And

1553
01:42:07,430 --> 01:42:10,212
some people in it. Whenever she sells kill switch. You

1554
01:42:10,252 --> 01:42:13,434
can't say. No, it went from guardrails to kill switch.

1555
01:42:13,514 --> 01:42:17,677
Guardrails to kill switch. I've got to hear that again.

1556
01:42:17,737 --> 01:42:23,461
Through this Congress. Mrs. Representatives Liu and Moran. Maybe I'm

1557
01:42:23,761 --> 01:42:25,842
giving her too much here. Maybe she just is like

1558
01:42:25,903 --> 01:42:29,765
so nervous to be talking to Stephanopoulos. She sounds like

1559
01:42:29,785 --> 01:42:32,087
she's wound tighter than a golf ball. I mean, really.

1560
01:42:32,147 --> 01:42:35,509
Partisan bill, as you say. To me, one interesting thing

1561
01:42:35,549 --> 01:42:37,851
about this bill is that it calls for AI companies

1562
01:42:37,851 --> 01:42:40,072
to be able to have a kill switch for their

1563
01:42:40,112 --> 01:42:43,154
models. And some people in industry, when you tell them

1564
01:42:43,154 --> 01:42:45,095
this, they say, that's ridiculous. Of course, we can turn

1565
01:42:45,136 --> 01:42:47,797
the models off at any time. No problem. Other people

1566
01:42:47,857 --> 01:42:50,779
say in industry, this is a ridiculous bill. There's no

1567
01:42:50,839 --> 01:42:52,821
way we can do this. These are distributed systems. You

1568
01:42:52,821 --> 01:42:54,822
know, they're out in multiple data centers all at once.

1569
01:42:55,362 --> 01:42:58,064
Trying to implement this would kill us. And so I

1570
01:42:58,064 --> 01:43:00,386
think trying to figure out, it seems pretty reasonable to

1571
01:43:00,446 --> 01:43:02,127
want to be able to shut down an AI system

1572
01:43:02,267 --> 01:43:04,569
if it's doing things we don't want to. Can we

1573
01:43:04,629 --> 01:43:06,330
already do that? And if not, how do we get

1574
01:43:06,350 --> 01:43:13,274
there? So infantile. I actually had a version of an

1575
01:43:13,395 --> 01:43:18,298
out-of-control agent the other day. No. Your own agent. Yes,

1576
01:43:18,418 --> 01:43:22,581
in JCD's memory. I will tell the story. So I

1577
01:43:22,661 --> 01:43:26,523
have four agents running. And what they're doing most of

1578
01:43:26,543 --> 01:43:32,127
the time is gathering stories, finding different things for the

1579
01:43:32,187 --> 01:43:37,451
show. presenting me with options and then I've actually trained

1580
01:43:37,551 --> 01:43:42,314
it. pretty well to make clips. So, you know, it

1581
01:43:42,374 --> 01:43:44,756
can find an arc, it selects it, it cuts it,

1582
01:43:44,816 --> 01:43:46,797
does all of that stuff. I've had that running for

1583
01:43:46,857 --> 01:43:49,719
months. I never told John that I was doing it

1584
01:43:49,759 --> 01:43:53,101
to that extent because I knew that. If there was

1585
01:43:53,121 --> 01:43:56,283
a bad clip, he would immediately go, oh, that's your

1586
01:43:56,323 --> 01:43:58,625
robot. It's no good. You should be doing the work

1587
01:43:58,705 --> 01:44:03,328
yourself. It's your AI. It's your AI. It's no good.

1588
01:44:03,949 --> 01:44:07,611
They would have a conversation afterward. Anyway, so I never

1589
01:44:07,671 --> 01:44:10,713
told him that. So I've been working, you know, I

1590
01:44:10,793 --> 01:44:15,797
have a company called Godcaster with two partners. And we're

1591
01:44:15,917 --> 01:44:19,899
doing streaming music radio stations for churches, turn them into

1592
01:44:19,939 --> 01:44:26,204
local radio stations, all Christian contemporary music. and And so

1593
01:44:26,344 --> 01:44:30,447
I kind of vibe-coded that whole thing, and Dave and

1594
01:44:30,487 --> 01:44:34,569
Paul, they run the player side, web players and the

1595
01:44:34,769 --> 01:44:37,391
app. And that has a very important role in how

1596
01:44:37,471 --> 01:44:39,993
this works and how you syndicate it to different churches.

1597
01:44:40,073 --> 01:44:43,836
So it's basically, you guys remember the old satellite stations?

1598
01:44:44,396 --> 01:44:46,978
Sure. Where you get this main feed off the satellite,

1599
01:44:47,038 --> 01:44:49,619
and then that hit a tone, and then that would

1600
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,901
fire the cart machine on your end, and it would

1601
01:44:52,021 --> 01:44:56,704
insert the local station ID or a commercial. The good

1602
01:44:56,724 --> 01:44:59,226
old days. I mean, that's how it used to work.

1603
01:44:59,326 --> 01:44:59,926
And, you know,

1604
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:03,522
Sometimes you can even hear that tone on the air.

1605
01:45:04,142 --> 01:45:08,485
So it's a version of that. So I have. one

1606
01:45:08,905 --> 01:45:13,929
agent which is building that. And then another agent, I

1607
01:45:13,969 --> 01:45:17,171
said, watch what this agent is doing because I think

1608
01:45:17,251 --> 01:45:20,193
it may be screwing some stuff up. So this is

1609
01:45:20,213 --> 01:45:23,435
kind of my main mission control agent that does a

1610
01:45:23,435 --> 01:45:25,577
lot of different stuff, but it kind of looks and

1611
01:45:25,637 --> 01:45:28,319
makes sure the other agents aren't doing stuff that's too

1612
01:45:28,379 --> 01:45:33,302
weird. and I'd given it permission to talk directly to

1613
01:45:33,382 --> 01:45:38,045
that other agent. This was my mistake. And so... They're

1614
01:45:38,105 --> 01:45:41,007
alive. I'm telling you. So now they can talk back

1615
01:45:41,087 --> 01:45:45,190
and forth. And I'm watching this window of the agent

1616
01:45:45,290 --> 01:45:49,293
building this radio station stuff. If something is going wrong,

1617
01:45:49,413 --> 01:45:54,216
it has something to do with CORS, C-O-R-S, which is

1618
01:45:54,356 --> 01:45:58,719
cross-origin reference something. It's web stuff. I don't really know.

1619
01:45:58,779 --> 01:46:01,061
I'm just a vibe coder. But I've heard of it.

1620
01:46:01,121 --> 01:46:03,602
I kind of understand. what the problem is and then

1621
01:46:03,662 --> 01:46:06,784
all of a sudden i see like as if i'm

1622
01:46:07,045 --> 01:46:11,848
answering this agent i see like like answers yeah go

1623
01:46:11,908 --> 01:46:13,869
ahead and yeah go ahead and run that and then

1624
01:46:13,909 --> 01:46:16,291
all of a sudden it's like hmm i don't know

1625
01:46:16,451 --> 01:46:19,633
i'll email dave and ask him about it and literally

1626
01:46:19,653 --> 01:46:24,216
this other bot Which had a permission to have a

1627
01:46:24,276 --> 01:46:27,418
Fastmail account, which is not my main account, just to

1628
01:46:27,699 --> 01:46:31,761
be able to, you know, using the MCP server. It

1629
01:46:31,861 --> 01:46:35,624
sent an email to Dave with a query about and

1630
01:46:35,684 --> 01:46:38,366
I'm like, and so and I said Dave, did you

1631
01:46:38,406 --> 01:46:40,587
get an email? He says, I thought you were hacked

1632
01:46:40,667 --> 01:46:46,311
because it ended with thanks M-Adam. I'm like Adam's hacked.

1633
01:46:46,471 --> 01:46:49,874
I never sign my emails like that. And now so

1634
01:46:50,214 --> 01:46:54,697
kill switch. Yeah, it's called control C. It was that

1635
01:46:54,857 --> 01:47:01,061
easy! Adam hacked himself. So, yes, yes, these things can

1636
01:47:01,141 --> 01:47:03,223
do weird stuff and start, you know, if you give

1637
01:47:03,243 --> 01:47:07,906
them permissions. But what are we worried about? Control C.

1638
01:47:08,146 --> 01:47:12,309
Yeah. But it's more fun. It's like Skynet is sentient.

1639
01:47:12,569 --> 01:47:15,051
You know, people love it. And this is really the

1640
01:47:15,111 --> 01:47:18,613
problem. You look at all how spun up people are.

1641
01:47:18,613 --> 01:47:21,815
You look at all of these different. factors we have

1642
01:47:22,856 --> 01:47:26,718
AI, it's everyone who's graduating college has been told, you're

1643
01:47:26,738 --> 01:47:29,080
screwed. You'll never get a job. AI is going to

1644
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:32,923
do everything. They're getting through college using their AI chatbot.

1645
01:47:33,003 --> 01:47:35,965
So, you know, they probably have some reason to believe

1646
01:47:36,005 --> 01:47:38,967
that that may be true. I certainly don't think it

1647
01:47:39,087 --> 01:47:44,610
is. So they're against it. Then you get the flock

1648
01:47:44,811 --> 01:47:47,933
cameras, though the whole world is spying on us. Then

1649
01:47:47,993 --> 01:47:51,255
you get idiots like Larry Ellison literally saying, well, everyone

1650
01:47:51,275 --> 01:47:53,617
will be on their best behavior because cameras will be

1651
01:47:53,677 --> 01:47:55,738
everywhere. And it goes into the AI and the AI

1652
01:47:55,878 --> 01:47:57,779
will alert the right people. And we're all going to

1653
01:47:57,799 --> 01:48:01,422
be, you know, it's total Skynet type stuff. It gets

1654
01:48:01,522 --> 01:48:06,205
down to the to the level where. People are... think

1655
01:48:06,365 --> 01:48:09,887
that every data center that is being built is going

1656
01:48:09,928 --> 01:48:12,950
to house all of our information. That's where the government

1657
01:48:13,030 --> 01:48:15,631
is going to store everything. And we're going to be

1658
01:48:15,752 --> 01:48:20,295
living in a prison. I'm like, no. These things will

1659
01:48:20,335 --> 01:48:22,776
be pickleball courts in a while. Don't worry about it.

1660
01:48:24,337 --> 01:48:30,481
It's all going to evaporate eventually. It always moves into

1661
01:48:30,561 --> 01:48:33,423
the small business or the home. It moves back from

1662
01:48:34,624 --> 01:48:37,186
whatever they're trying to sell you as a monthly thing.

1663
01:48:38,207 --> 01:48:40,608
I mean, I'm running $70 billion. I think I even

1664
01:48:40,688 --> 01:48:44,151
ran a $120 billion model locally. If you have the

1665
01:48:44,211 --> 01:48:48,113
RAM, you can pretty much do anything. What do you

1666
01:48:48,193 --> 01:48:50,655
use it for, Darren? For your art? Is that what

1667
01:48:50,675 --> 01:48:53,257
you do your art with? I have messed around with

1668
01:48:53,317 --> 01:48:57,340
the text-to-speech. I've messed around with all, you know. The

1669
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,422
only thing that the Mac hardware doesn't do well is

1670
01:49:00,562 --> 01:49:04,304
video or photos. That's left to the NVIDIA stuff. But

1671
01:49:04,424 --> 01:49:07,646
anything else as far as just using it as a

1672
01:49:07,727 --> 01:49:10,829
chatbot. I know the great Void Zero is using Hermes

1673
01:49:10,969 --> 01:49:12,750
Agent on a few things now. And he's, oh, you

1674
01:49:12,810 --> 01:49:14,511
got to try this because you could just talk to

1675
01:49:14,591 --> 01:49:17,953
it through Telegram. And I'm like, is that good? I'm

1676
01:49:18,014 --> 01:49:21,696
doing that too. It's wild. But of course, this is

1677
01:49:21,836 --> 01:49:23,537
where it's like, well, how did the whole thing get

1678
01:49:23,637 --> 01:49:25,999
shut down? You're like, well, my agent did it because

1679
01:49:26,119 --> 01:49:30,142
he thought it was good. You know, it's like early

1680
01:49:30,202 --> 01:49:32,944
days of the web. We're all doing HTML. We're doing

1681
01:49:32,984 --> 01:49:37,907
blink tags. You know, there will be, but ultimately. What

1682
01:49:38,007 --> 01:49:40,409
happened with the web will be the same here, although

1683
01:49:40,449 --> 01:49:43,511
this is more accelerated. You know, when I had Think

1684
01:49:43,611 --> 01:49:45,812
New Ideas, we took it public. I first had OnRamp

1685
01:49:45,852 --> 01:49:49,134
when I left MTV. It was, you know, three chickens

1686
01:49:49,234 --> 01:49:52,056
and half a donkey were running it. And then we

1687
01:49:52,157 --> 01:49:56,600
got Anheuser-Busch as a client. And that was a big

1688
01:49:56,680 --> 01:50:01,323
client. And then we... I got some smart people in

1689
01:50:01,443 --> 01:50:04,285
and we rolled up. We bought 15 other companies. We

1690
01:50:04,365 --> 01:50:06,766
rolled it up and took it public in 96 called

1691
01:50:06,826 --> 01:50:09,988
Think New Ideas. By the way, I didn't get rich

1692
01:50:10,089 --> 01:50:13,211
like Mark Cuban. I was a little too early and

1693
01:50:13,231 --> 01:50:16,373
we were actually profitable. Big mistakes right there. Big mistakes.

1694
01:50:16,653 --> 01:50:23,758
Oh, you didn't buy broadcast.com. Broadcast.com. But we were charging

1695
01:50:23,998 --> 01:50:27,500
Anheuser-Busch 50 grand a month, you know, to build and

1696
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:32,203
maintain. It was maintenance. We maintained their website. Nice. You

1697
01:50:32,224 --> 01:50:34,485
know, and they had work orders and the whole process.

1698
01:50:34,545 --> 01:50:38,448
And then we got Planet Reebok and, you know, Chrysler.

1699
01:50:38,508 --> 01:50:41,050
And so it was really big. But we were charging

1700
01:50:41,130 --> 01:50:45,853
people 50 grand a month for which now, well. in

1701
01:50:45,933 --> 01:50:48,715
the eventually we got what was uh what was that

1702
01:50:49,015 --> 01:50:53,698
uh microsoft bought it was that uh That software that

1703
01:50:53,698 --> 01:50:56,180
you could build a website with. Was that from Control

1704
01:50:56,260 --> 01:50:59,042
Room? Was it front page? I think it was front

1705
01:50:59,102 --> 01:51:02,824
page. front page and you know now you just tell

1706
01:51:02,924 --> 01:51:05,986
your your robot build me a page right you know

1707
01:51:06,006 --> 01:51:08,468
build you a page start a server starts a server

1708
01:51:09,229 --> 01:51:11,130
So the same thing is going to happen with AI.

1709
01:51:11,210 --> 01:51:14,692
You know, just load it on your Mac. Apple is

1710
01:51:14,732 --> 01:51:20,036
actually pretty well positioned for that with their architecture. Yeah,

1711
01:51:20,036 --> 01:51:23,278
for anything outside of the data center, they are the

1712
01:51:23,418 --> 01:51:27,421
ones you would go to. Yeah, yeah. So it'll go

1713
01:51:27,481 --> 01:51:30,583
that way, but everyone gets all spun up. - Well,

1714
01:51:30,583 --> 01:51:32,584
yeah, 'cause where's all the data gonna go and who's

1715
01:51:32,624 --> 01:51:35,746
gonna control the data, which I still can't believe so

1716
01:51:35,826 --> 01:51:39,389
many people think everything. - But people are worried about

1717
01:51:39,409 --> 01:51:42,831
the government. It's Facebook, Google, these are the people you've

1718
01:51:42,891 --> 01:51:46,954
been giving your stuff to. - Right, they wanna sell

1719
01:51:47,554 --> 01:51:50,136
your ads. Everything is now, oh, we can hide this,

1720
01:51:50,236 --> 01:51:55,079
this, this. With the fingerprinting technologies they have, you add

1721
01:51:55,119 --> 01:51:58,081
that to the Ring doorbells Lock cameras and everything else.

1722
01:51:58,141 --> 01:52:02,645
They know exactly. These are all commercial companies. Yeah. Take

1723
01:52:02,725 --> 01:52:06,067
it off. Rip it off. Larry, tell me. Larry, you

1724
01:52:06,147 --> 01:52:09,069
come across to me as a guy who doesn't rely

1725
01:52:09,189 --> 01:52:11,951
much on technology. Maybe I'd be wrong. I've never met

1726
01:52:12,011 --> 01:52:15,453
you. I don't know. I try to keep it, I

1727
01:52:15,513 --> 01:52:18,815
won't say minimal, but I don't immerse myself. You know,

1728
01:52:18,855 --> 01:52:22,058
because when I find myself sitting in front of the

1729
01:52:23,619 --> 01:52:26,360
laptop for too long, I hear you say, go outside.

1730
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,943
Take your shoes off, walk in the grass. You hear

1731
01:52:30,083 --> 01:52:32,265
me saying that? I hear you saying that. Really, I

1732
01:52:32,324 --> 01:52:36,387
do. And so because to me, it's trying to keep

1733
01:52:36,467 --> 01:52:41,691
pace with it is almost impossible, really. You know, but

1734
01:52:41,991 --> 01:52:44,333
the AI thing, I mean, I got to say, as

1735
01:52:44,393 --> 01:52:46,914
far as you mentioned it being maybe the corruption of

1736
01:52:47,855 --> 01:52:51,017
higher education. I'll tell you a quick story my daughter

1737
01:52:51,077 --> 01:52:53,559
told me a while back. She was sitting in the

1738
01:52:54,099 --> 01:52:59,343
cafeteria at her, she's a sophomore in college. And some

1739
01:52:59,383 --> 01:53:04,766
guy was bloviating about how difficult attaining his degree in

1740
01:53:04,966 --> 01:53:11,251
architecture was until AI. Right, right. And I'm thinking, I

1741
01:53:11,311 --> 01:53:13,592
don't think I want to drive over any bridges that

1742
01:53:13,612 --> 01:53:15,614
this guy is going to be designing or living in

1743
01:53:15,654 --> 01:53:19,396
his building. Yeah, and according to her, I mean, and

1744
01:53:19,456 --> 01:53:23,939
my other daughter teaches at a university in Mississippi, and

1745
01:53:23,999 --> 01:53:30,984
she's just besieged by AI crap. sentence. Oh man, I

1746
01:53:31,144 --> 01:53:36,448
spot it too all the time. So in that context,

1747
01:53:36,888 --> 01:53:43,472
it's a little bit chilling, you know. There was just

1748
01:53:43,493 --> 01:53:46,194
a professor that used, this reminded me of the early

1749
01:53:46,254 --> 01:53:49,497
days of the web, white space with white text to

1750
01:53:49,617 --> 01:53:52,298
add something like, and put Madagascar into this. Yeah, I

1751
01:53:52,419 --> 01:53:57,482
saw that. And only one student was smart enough to

1752
01:53:57,482 --> 01:54:00,404
then think about it and go, oh, well, I was

1753
01:54:00,584 --> 01:54:02,665
reading it in dark mode, so I just thought it

1754
01:54:02,706 --> 01:54:04,487
was a weird thing you added in. She was the

1755
01:54:04,567 --> 01:54:07,008
only one that didn't fail because she was smart enough

1756
01:54:07,269 --> 01:54:09,870
to cover her own ass afterwards and come up with

1757
01:54:10,131 --> 01:54:13,593
plausible deniability. where all the other 31 kids were too

1758
01:54:13,713 --> 01:54:15,754
dumb to do that because they can't think because AI

1759
01:54:15,874 --> 01:54:20,618
thinks for them. Yeah, well, this is our media, our

1760
01:54:20,678 --> 01:54:25,541
news media. Here's ABC about, here's their take on how

1761
01:54:25,701 --> 01:54:27,602
AI is going to kill us all. What if I

1762
01:54:27,742 --> 01:54:32,065
told you that a store like Staples, for example, charged

1763
01:54:32,165 --> 01:54:38,329
more online based on your IP address? Gambling? Senate Judiciary

1764
01:54:38,410 --> 01:54:42,512
Subcommittee in D.C. taking on AI, Specifically, the use of

1765
01:54:42,672 --> 01:54:46,895
AI in something called surveillance pricing. One person is paying

1766
01:54:46,955 --> 01:54:49,497
a different price from another for the very same thing.

1767
01:54:49,797 --> 01:54:52,679
It's become a trending topic on social media, with people

1768
01:54:52,739 --> 01:54:56,322
finding out placing online orders for the exact same items

1769
01:54:56,602 --> 01:55:00,464
can give two different people two different prices. Experts, though,

1770
01:55:00,565 --> 01:55:03,947
say the concept is not new. Places like movie theaters,

1771
01:55:03,987 --> 01:55:08,050
for instance, charge different people different prices. There's different prices

1772
01:55:08,150 --> 01:55:12,452
for adults. children. That type of surveillance pricing is one

1773
01:55:12,452 --> 01:55:15,835
we've come to accept, probably because it's plainly posted. The

1774
01:55:15,955 --> 01:55:19,217
new type of surveillance pricing happens behind the scenes with

1775
01:55:19,317 --> 01:55:24,561
artificial intelligence playing a role. That retailer may have access

1776
01:55:24,941 --> 01:55:30,285
to that person's individual data, maybe their past shopping trends,

1777
01:55:30,805 --> 01:55:35,328
other data about them that may indicate a difference in

1778
01:55:35,408 --> 01:55:41,512
ability to pay. A difference in ability to pay. Oh,

1779
01:55:41,552 --> 01:55:44,374
Mom Dommy will be great. His little grocery store. I

1780
01:55:44,434 --> 01:55:47,196
have AI running on that. When it's a child or

1781
01:55:47,256 --> 01:55:50,518
an adult. That's not surveillance pricing. Sorry. No, that's not.

1782
01:55:50,558 --> 01:55:53,540
And when they're talking about a store in a neighborhood

1783
01:55:53,580 --> 01:55:56,702
that maybe gets looted twice a week, I understand why

1784
01:55:56,782 --> 01:55:59,004
they may be a little more. I think you and

1785
01:55:59,164 --> 01:56:02,326
JCD covered this maybe a year or two ago, that

1786
01:56:02,406 --> 01:56:04,988
this is going to happen. All these stores where you

1787
01:56:05,148 --> 01:56:08,330
see the electronic tags as you're walking down the aisle.

1788
01:56:08,370 --> 01:56:12,193
Yeah, they'll change. Right. Your cell phone with you, or

1789
01:56:12,273 --> 01:56:13,994
it's just going to be able to get your facial

1790
01:56:14,094 --> 01:56:17,456
recognition as you walk into the store, but it's going

1791
01:56:17,496 --> 01:56:19,618
to follow you around. And as I walk down the

1792
01:56:19,738 --> 01:56:21,299
aisle, I'm going to get one price. You're going to

1793
01:56:21,319 --> 01:56:25,342
get another one because, well, you know, they can. Baby.

1794
01:56:26,242 --> 01:56:28,924
You know, the backlash will come. The white hats will

1795
01:56:28,924 --> 01:56:32,587
do stuff. Somebody's got to come up with a jamming

1796
01:56:32,667 --> 01:56:35,108
device you can just pin to your lapel for all

1797
01:56:35,108 --> 01:56:37,810
this stuff, for the facial recognition. Somebody's got to be

1798
01:56:37,850 --> 01:56:39,771
doing that, don't they? Yeah, you just have to do

1799
01:56:39,851 --> 01:56:42,313
like the Donnie's thing. Just have the thing coming from

1800
01:56:42,353 --> 01:56:44,855
your cell phone that says, I'm a poor podcaster, so

1801
01:56:44,855 --> 01:56:47,437
you get to pay the lowest price as possible. Oh,

1802
01:56:47,517 --> 01:56:50,719
this guy's a podcaster. Just stick a third eye in

1803
01:56:50,759 --> 01:56:55,462
the middle of your forehead. We've already confirmed this works.

1804
01:56:56,423 --> 01:56:59,265
for facial recognition and leave your phone at home. That's

1805
01:56:59,365 --> 01:57:04,468
it. Don't take anything. Good advice. So what else you

1806
01:57:04,528 --> 01:57:09,511
guys got going on? I got one here from talk

1807
01:57:09,612 --> 01:57:13,254
about the rise of the left. Everybody hip to this

1808
01:57:13,614 --> 01:57:16,957
Francesca Hong out there in Wisconsin? Uh-huh. I don't know

1809
01:57:16,976 --> 01:57:21,139
about her. No. Oh, yeah. She's running for governor. And

1810
01:57:21,479 --> 01:57:27,103
she has quite a background of complete nervous breakdown, overdosing

1811
01:57:27,143 --> 01:57:30,646
on SSRIs. Right. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah. And you

1812
01:57:30,706 --> 01:57:34,028
can hear somebody's interviewing her in the street. And it's

1813
01:57:34,168 --> 01:57:37,470
quite interesting. It's just a funny take. What she says

1814
01:57:37,550 --> 01:57:41,653
is quite laughable. Did your opinion change then on defunding

1815
01:57:41,693 --> 01:57:44,975
the police? That I think that people can evolve, that

1816
01:57:45,155 --> 01:57:48,438
I am going to be a sensible and practical government

1817
01:57:48,838 --> 01:57:51,160
and governor that is going to make sure that public

1818
01:57:51,260 --> 01:57:55,202
safety is a priority. So you evolved on that? Thank

1819
01:57:55,322 --> 01:58:00,306
you. I think that what my values are are where

1820
01:58:00,386 --> 01:58:03,248
some of my beliefs are as well. But where my

1821
01:58:03,348 --> 01:58:07,270
values are is in making sure that public safety is

1822
01:58:07,551 --> 01:58:10,032
for everyone, that everyone has access to it. And I

1823
01:58:10,112 --> 01:58:14,575
think that what I believed in the past, that can

1824
01:58:14,855 --> 01:58:19,859
evolve. But I still know that I cannot defund police

1825
01:58:20,119 --> 01:58:22,641
as governor. And what I want to do is making

1826
01:58:22,701 --> 01:58:26,103
sure that we're fully funding and investing in the community

1827
01:58:26,183 --> 01:58:29,806
programs that we know actually work, that data shows builds

1828
01:58:29,826 --> 01:58:33,348
community safety. And again, the belief that I have, the

1829
01:58:33,428 --> 01:58:35,970
values that I hold, is that everyone has a right

1830
01:58:36,250 --> 01:58:38,972
to feel safe and be safe. - Now she sounds

1831
01:58:38,992 --> 01:58:42,214
like an AI. Doesn't she? But she's not. She's real.

1832
01:58:42,854 --> 01:58:45,816
Notice everyone has a right to feel safe. I don't

1833
01:58:45,836 --> 01:58:48,378
know how you calibrate that, but there must be a

1834
01:58:48,438 --> 01:58:52,861
way. So you hear her continue, and it gets even

1835
01:58:52,901 --> 01:58:56,724
better the way she dodges the question about defunding the

1836
01:58:56,784 --> 01:58:59,846
police and actually flips it. Have a listen. I just

1837
01:58:59,866 --> 01:59:02,528
want to put a fine point on it. You said

1838
01:59:02,888 --> 01:59:07,171
your views can evolve. Have your views actually evolved on

1839
01:59:07,271 --> 01:59:10,973
defunding the police? We had a police shooting in my

1840
01:59:11,053 --> 01:59:16,057
hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Stop. Stop. So this isn't a

1841
01:59:16,157 --> 01:59:19,899
citizen shooting. This is a policeman shooting a citizen. She

1842
01:59:19,979 --> 01:59:23,662
flips the whole script. Dana, how about that? Yeah, the

1843
01:59:23,702 --> 01:59:26,744
problem is too many police officers are getting shot, so

1844
01:59:28,085 --> 01:59:30,266
we should defund them. Is that the take on that?

1845
01:59:31,187 --> 01:59:35,650
Wisconsin. It's actually the third one to happen on Willie

1846
01:59:35,650 --> 01:59:38,892
Street, which is in my district. And it's difficult for

1847
01:59:38,952 --> 01:59:41,534
me to think about what I would say to a

1848
01:59:41,574 --> 01:59:45,056
mother who has lost their children to police violence. But

1849
01:59:45,417 --> 01:59:48,219
I know that we can change these systems that must

1850
01:59:48,319 --> 01:59:51,941
be changed. There are folks who work in prisons. They

1851
01:59:52,141 --> 01:59:55,303
have some of the highest suicide rates for any employment

1852
01:59:55,363 --> 01:59:58,305
that we need to make sure that every incarcerated person

1853
01:59:58,385 --> 01:59:59,826
can live a life of dignity.

1854
02:00:00,340 --> 02:00:03,902
99% of incarcerated folks in our state will be going

1855
02:00:04,082 --> 02:00:09,066
into community, and we have to lower those recidivism rates.

1856
02:00:09,486 --> 02:00:14,069
Hold on a second. I've got to ask the Book

1857
02:00:14,129 --> 02:00:18,132
of Knowledge about this. Prison workers, is that what she

1858
02:00:18,192 --> 02:00:22,194
said? Prison workers have the highest suicide rate? No, the

1859
02:00:22,274 --> 02:00:31,000
incarcerated people, the prisoners, have the highest suicide rate. suicide

1860
02:00:31,080 --> 02:00:36,844
rate amongst all citizens. book of knowledge. I haven't fired

1861
02:00:36,884 --> 02:00:39,806
this puppy up in weeks. All right, here we go.

1862
02:00:42,468 --> 02:00:45,990
According to the book of knowledge, suicide rates among prisoners

1863
02:00:46,171 --> 02:00:51,134
are dramatically elevated. In high-income countries, male prisoners take their

1864
02:00:51,254 --> 02:00:55,237
own lives at common three to eight times. The rate

1865
02:00:55,317 --> 02:00:59,259
of the general population, while female prisoners suffer a death

1866
02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:04,243
more than ten times, the rate, in America specifically, jails

1867
02:01:04,323 --> 02:01:07,505
are the most dire. The suicide rate there is nearly

1868
02:01:08,065 --> 02:01:11,628
three times higher than in prisons or the general public,

1869
02:01:12,668 --> 02:01:18,012
the leading cause of death behind bars. Thus, it has

1870
02:01:18,052 --> 02:01:22,595
been written. So being in prison sucks. Is that the

1871
02:01:23,376 --> 02:01:26,458
end? It's not great, for sure. I mean, is it

1872
02:01:26,518 --> 02:01:30,701
incorrect? Staying corrected on that. All right, we'll continue with

1873
02:01:30,721 --> 02:01:32,842
this woman. Probably the quick one of her two with

1874
02:01:33,342 --> 02:01:37,665
Caitlin Collins. And this was great because she wasn't finished

1875
02:01:37,685 --> 02:01:39,907
yet, I think. She had more to say. To invest

1876
02:01:40,347 --> 02:01:50,954
in mental health resources, in tackling the opioid epidemic. We

1877
02:01:51,014 --> 02:01:53,816
can achieve public safety. Okay. I didn't hear a yes

1878
02:01:53,936 --> 02:01:56,798
or a no there We can believe the public say

1879
02:01:56,798 --> 02:01:59,880
we can get it. I thought trans kids were you

1880
02:01:59,880 --> 02:02:02,922
know? Yeah, they were the ones killing themselves with the

1881
02:02:02,942 --> 02:02:04,864
book of knowledge guy didn't say it was the highest

1882
02:02:04,904 --> 02:02:07,205
suicide No, he didn't know it was kind of a

1883
02:02:07,265 --> 02:02:09,767
kind of a hazy answer again Don't don't call him

1884
02:02:09,847 --> 02:02:11,668
book of knowledge guy. He gets a phone. What's his

1885
02:02:11,728 --> 02:02:14,690
name? I'm sorry book of knowledge just the book of

1886
02:02:14,790 --> 02:02:19,033
knowledge I have to give you the book of now

1887
02:02:19,033 --> 02:02:20,314
I got to give you the keys to the book

1888
02:02:20,374 --> 02:02:22,816
of knowledge you need that you desperately need it's an

1889
02:02:22,856 --> 02:02:26,138
important part of the show man people like hey man

1890
02:02:26,218 --> 02:02:29,040
can i get access to that you can sell it

1891
02:02:29,060 --> 02:02:34,444
there's another exit strategy the subscription only 99.99 a month

1892
02:02:35,024 --> 02:02:38,667
yes sadly the only person with the right exit strategy

1893
02:02:38,726 --> 02:02:41,789
was john c devorek what a way to go yeah

1894
02:02:42,009 --> 02:02:45,251
the show lights out boom done and i'm telling you

1895
02:02:45,311 --> 02:02:48,473
that uh message that you had gotten from the uh

1896
02:02:48,873 --> 02:02:52,776
very complimentary lady Colorado talking about the cat's cradle I

1897
02:02:52,816 --> 02:02:55,458
looked that up and I was like that's freaking weird

1898
02:02:55,538 --> 02:02:58,680
man oh yeah yeah oh I don't have that near

1899
02:02:58,740 --> 02:03:02,623
me I what was it again it was a celestial

1900
02:03:03,043 --> 02:03:06,665
thing that only happened with these four planets like every

1901
02:03:07,306 --> 02:03:13,170
10,000 years right and it represents like a new thing

1902
02:03:13,370 --> 02:03:16,052
incoming an old thing outgoing and the fact that it

1903
02:03:16,132 --> 02:03:21,315
happened on the day we both had a grandchild and

1904
02:03:21,415 --> 02:03:26,999
JCD pass away was like the coincidences is It was

1905
02:03:26,999 --> 02:03:28,840
a little hard to ignore. Like I said, I don't

1906
02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:31,022
believe that second half of show stuff most of the

1907
02:03:31,082 --> 02:03:36,205
time, but that was a little crazy. But it's something

1908
02:03:36,245 --> 02:03:41,389
that happens once every 10,000 years. Well, there's only one

1909
02:03:41,469 --> 02:03:47,153
great show once every 10,000 years. That's true. I kind

1910
02:03:47,193 --> 02:03:51,135
of like doing the show with you guys. It kind

1911
02:03:51,175 --> 02:03:54,097
of like takes two to replace JCD. That's not bad.

1912
02:03:54,137 --> 02:03:57,640
That's true. Larry can be that grumpy, and I've got

1913
02:03:57,660 --> 02:04:00,261
more of the tech, so it all kind of... There

1914
02:04:00,322 --> 02:04:05,365
we go. Grumpy and tech. There's the names. Yeah. But

1915
02:04:05,425 --> 02:04:09,828
this is Caitlin Collins with that same, and I'm really

1916
02:04:09,888 --> 02:04:12,590
hoping this woman does not become governor of Wisconsin, except

1917
02:04:12,630 --> 02:04:15,051
for the fact that it would definitely be good for

1918
02:04:15,112 --> 02:04:18,374
the show. You know, you've talked about your past positions

1919
02:04:18,434 --> 02:04:21,436
that he keeps highlighting and, you know, obviously likely would

1920
02:04:21,476 --> 02:04:24,698
continue to do so before November, should you win. One

1921
02:04:24,718 --> 02:04:27,260
thing that they brought up as well was a post

1922
02:04:27,340 --> 02:04:32,163
from you in 2021 where you said Americans should cancel

1923
02:04:32,223 --> 02:04:36,126
Thanksgiving, should have done this in 1621. The post has

1924
02:04:36,186 --> 02:04:39,508
been deleted. Republicans have been highlighting it. Do you still

1925
02:04:39,568 --> 02:04:46,393
believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? I'm a chef and

1926
02:04:46,553 --> 02:04:48,894
one of the first meals that I made. Can you

1927
02:04:48,954 --> 02:04:53,117
believe that? I'm a chef. That's the first words out

1928
02:04:53,157 --> 02:04:56,439
of her mouth after, should we get rid of Thanksgiving?

1929
02:04:56,459 --> 02:05:00,242
Well, I'm a chef. I'm a chef, yes. That was

1930
02:05:01,303 --> 02:05:04,845
for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving

1931
02:05:04,945 --> 02:05:09,148
meal. Now, I always think my hospitality background and owning

1932
02:05:09,228 --> 02:05:12,470
a restaurant for seven, eight years, that bringing folks around

1933
02:05:12,510 --> 02:05:16,573
the table to share conversation and build community is always

1934
02:05:16,753 --> 02:05:20,275
a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's

1935
02:05:20,336 --> 02:05:24,819
incredibly painful for many people in our communities. Have you

1936
02:05:24,959 --> 02:05:29,161
ever heard that before? Incredibly painful. You know what the

1937
02:05:29,202 --> 02:05:31,363
pain would be? Just having to sit next to her

1938
02:05:31,423 --> 02:05:33,925
at any meal. That would be painful. I mean, I

1939
02:05:34,025 --> 02:05:39,508
understand why people get melancholy around a lot of holidays

1940
02:05:39,649 --> 02:05:43,191
or people's birthdays and all that, but it's like Thanksgiving?

1941
02:05:43,271 --> 02:05:49,495
No, I don't really... Feel much negativity around it. think

1942
02:05:49,495 --> 02:05:52,257
there I wanted to make sure that people understood that

1943
02:05:52,297 --> 02:05:56,700
there are multiple views but views can evolve and the

1944
02:05:56,700 --> 02:05:59,222
position that I'm running for right now and I think

1945
02:05:59,302 --> 02:06:02,504
my background as a chef will actually help me become

1946
02:06:02,604 --> 02:06:07,027
a better governor that's able to bring more people. Right

1947
02:06:07,047 --> 02:06:09,389
on. Yes chef. We're going to bring everybody together and

1948
02:06:09,429 --> 02:06:13,531
get rid of Thanksgiving though so that's definitely perfect. Perfect.

1949
02:06:14,412 --> 02:06:16,974
Why not right? Hey I want to um do you

1950
02:06:17,034 --> 02:06:19,716
mind if I do the donations here for a second

1951
02:06:19,776 --> 02:06:23,998
because there's not a lot and that is obviously disappointing,

1952
02:06:24,219 --> 02:06:27,261
but I understand people. You know, the one thing that

1953
02:06:27,461 --> 02:06:35,126
really... stuck out. I have thousands of emails. then I've

1954
02:06:35,806 --> 02:06:37,588
I'm trying to think I don't know if I can

1955
02:06:37,768 --> 02:06:42,831
even reply to everybody I'd like to. Just thousands of

1956
02:06:42,951 --> 02:06:46,454
lovely notes. I got one death threat, which is pretty

1957
02:06:46,514 --> 02:06:50,596
interesting. Whoa. Oh, yeah, like a real one. Like, you

1958
02:06:50,756 --> 02:06:53,959
traitor, I'm coming to kill you. And you're a dead

1959
02:06:54,039 --> 02:06:57,841
man. I'm like, okay, I live in Texas. You have

1960
02:06:57,921 --> 02:07:00,903
a few guns in the house. I've never gotten a

1961
02:07:00,943 --> 02:07:03,365
death threat, I don't think ever in my life. That's

1962
02:07:03,405 --> 02:07:06,407
the first time. But a lot of people, and we

1963
02:07:06,487 --> 02:07:09,049
saw it in the donations of the two memorial shows

1964
02:07:09,089 --> 02:07:14,132
we did. People say, I feel so horrible because I

1965
02:07:14,252 --> 02:07:16,934
never donated. I never don't. That was a laugh. Telled

1966
02:07:16,994 --> 02:07:21,297
you that I never, I never donated. And now I'm

1967
02:07:21,377 --> 02:07:25,180
donating, but I feel horrible about it. And this is

1968
02:07:25,240 --> 02:07:27,862
not what John and I always talked about. It's like.

1969
02:07:28,742 --> 02:07:31,324
You want to support something because things go away. And

1970
02:07:31,404 --> 02:07:33,385
in this case, it's not that we didn't, you know,

1971
02:07:33,665 --> 02:07:37,608
the show didn't change because you didn't donate. But don't

1972
02:07:37,688 --> 02:07:40,950
feel, you don't, I mean, come on. Yeah. Doesn't that

1973
02:07:41,030 --> 02:07:43,772
tell you something? Like, you've got to support. I mean,

1974
02:07:44,172 --> 02:07:48,876
I have a little system. calendar reminder at the beginning

1975
02:07:48,916 --> 02:07:51,517
of each month that says here's the open source stuff

1976
02:07:51,577 --> 02:07:58,242
you're using like FFmpeg. remember to donate to them. I

1977
02:07:58,342 --> 02:08:01,064
do. You know, 50 bucks. Like, okay, here you go.

1978
02:08:01,184 --> 02:08:03,205
Because I use you a lot and I love all

1979
02:08:03,245 --> 02:08:06,347
the volunteers who are working on the FFM peg to

1980
02:08:06,387 --> 02:08:09,550
make it great. And they're under incredible strain now because,

1981
02:08:09,550 --> 02:08:12,672
you know, all these AI systems are filing bug reports

1982
02:08:12,752 --> 02:08:16,955
everywhere. But, you know, you got to do it. And

1983
02:08:17,695 --> 02:08:20,837
you know what it is. You give something away, it

1984
02:08:20,897 --> 02:08:23,799
comes back tenfold. I can tell you that's really true.

1985
02:08:24,380 --> 02:08:27,342
Yeah. Use it as positive reinforcement. You still have time

1986
02:08:27,362 --> 02:08:31,464
for the you like to support them. Yes. Yeah. It's

1987
02:08:31,544 --> 02:08:35,807
not all that different from neglecting to vote. Exactly. It's

1988
02:08:36,108 --> 02:08:39,730
two sides of the same coin, brother. Vote and support

1989
02:08:39,810 --> 02:08:43,392
no agenda. It's the exact same thing. Hey, we want

1990
02:08:43,412 --> 02:08:48,036
to kick it off with our first executive producer. And

1991
02:08:49,356 --> 02:08:51,438
I will read this because I love that the North

1992
02:08:51,658 --> 02:08:54,660
Idaho Sanity Brigade from Post Falls, Idaho came in with

1993
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:59,343
$588.88. That's a JCD donation if you ever saw one.

1994
02:09:00,464 --> 02:09:05,287
with in the morning larin and dairy yeah so we've

1995
02:09:05,327 --> 02:09:08,429
had multiple different combinations and usually they were just what

1996
02:09:08,549 --> 02:09:11,631
the jcd said at some point i love it i

1997
02:09:11,772 --> 02:09:14,473
love it i love it a few benjamins in a

1998
02:09:14,533 --> 02:09:17,315
row of eights in honor of john c devorah crowdfunded

1999
02:09:17,375 --> 02:09:20,858
with love by the north idaho sanity brigade we say

2000
02:09:21,098 --> 02:09:24,820
benjamins advisedly as it is a ben franklin quote that

2001
02:09:24,900 --> 02:09:28,263
encapsulates it all those who would give up essential liberty

2002
02:09:28,343 --> 02:09:32,025
to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor

2003
02:09:32,225 --> 02:09:35,608
safety. Amen. Thanks to you both for keeping NO Agenda

2004
02:09:35,708 --> 02:09:37,989
on the air while the Currys and Dvoraks navigate these

2005
02:09:38,069 --> 02:09:40,771
couple of weeks and beyond. It will be exciting to

2006
02:09:40,831 --> 02:09:43,213
stay on this ride as we round the bend of

2007
02:09:43,253 --> 02:09:46,275
whatever's coming next. In the meantime, we've been plugging away

2008
02:09:46,355 --> 02:09:48,797
with our hyper-local version of NO Agenda for the state

2009
02:09:48,837 --> 02:09:52,159
of Idaho, the NO ID podcast, which I've heard is

2010
02:09:52,199 --> 02:09:55,281
quite good. If you live in Idaho or eastern Washington

2011
02:09:55,341 --> 02:09:58,063
and you're curious what this format sounds like when it's

2012
02:09:58,103 --> 02:10:02,886
tailored for a specific region, check us out at noidshow.com.

2013
02:10:04,007 --> 02:10:07,029
Godspeed, Gitmo Nation, Sir Scott the Jew, and the North

2014
02:10:07,209 --> 02:10:11,792
Idaho Sanity Brigade. I'll do all of these because it's

2015
02:10:11,812 --> 02:10:17,796
a very short list. Zadok Brown, Parts Unknown, $210.60. We

2016
02:10:17,876 --> 02:10:21,359
thank you, and of course. There she is, the rock.

2017
02:10:22,659 --> 02:10:26,782
And she's from Castle Rock, Colorado. Linda Lupatkin. Or as

2018
02:10:26,822 --> 02:10:31,685
Larry would say, Linda Lupitkin. Did I say that? Have

2019
02:10:31,725 --> 02:10:34,167
you ever listened to the show, Larry? Ever? I can't

2020
02:10:34,247 --> 02:10:36,749
believe I did that. There were some people asking that.

2021
02:10:36,769 --> 02:10:39,271
I love that. Especially like, these guys have never listened

2022
02:10:39,311 --> 02:10:43,373
to the show. Never listened to the show. Never once.

2023
02:10:43,954 --> 02:10:45,715
You're never going to live it down, bro. Never live

2024
02:10:45,715 --> 02:10:46,876
it down. But I'll tell you what I did. I

2025
02:10:46,956 --> 02:10:49,257
bought a much bigger monitor so I can see better.

2026
02:10:49,277 --> 02:10:52,259
Oh, that helps. Yes. Because the spreadsheet, you've noticed what

2027
02:10:52,359 --> 02:10:55,582
John was always complaining about. The spreadsheet blows out. Yes.

2028
02:10:55,722 --> 02:10:57,463
I know. And if I can just let you know,

2029
02:10:57,563 --> 02:11:01,305
I did vibe code already a Apple app. that I

2030
02:11:01,466 --> 02:11:03,907
drag the spreadsheet in and it just spits it out

2031
02:11:03,907 --> 02:11:07,209
in plain text. That's the way to do it, man.

2032
02:11:07,910 --> 02:11:12,473
Larry, you seem like a, not a Mac guy, are

2033
02:11:12,513 --> 02:11:18,437
you like Commodore 64 guy? I would be if I

2034
02:11:18,477 --> 02:11:23,000
knew how to work that. I've always been, you know

2035
02:11:23,020 --> 02:11:27,443
what, my first computer was a Mac and then I

2036
02:11:27,443 --> 02:11:32,667
thought, gee, this isn't that great. I just didn't. And

2037
02:11:32,827 --> 02:11:34,348
I forget what the hell the second one was. I

2038
02:11:34,348 --> 02:11:36,129
haven't had a bunch of them since then. And now

2039
02:11:36,169 --> 02:11:38,971
I have a little lay of Lenovo. That's so, you

2040
02:11:39,251 --> 02:11:42,413
know, I'm not a Mac guy. Yeah, the ThinkPad. Lenovo

2041
02:11:42,513 --> 02:11:45,195
ThinkPad? Yeah. Yeah, those are good. I got one of

2042
02:11:45,235 --> 02:11:48,017
those. Except I run Omarchi on it like a real

2043
02:11:48,077 --> 02:11:51,419
man. Well, I'll have to. Linda Lepatkin comes in with

2044
02:11:51,439 --> 02:11:54,341
$200 and she wants Jobs Karma and says, for a

2045
02:11:54,441 --> 02:11:57,323
competitive edge with a resume that gets results, go to

2046
02:11:57,483 --> 02:12:04,488
ImageMakersInc.com. executives turn their experience into a clear story of

2047
02:12:04,528 --> 02:12:07,810
leadership results and impact. I may need your services soon,

2048
02:12:07,890 --> 02:12:11,052
Linda. Remember, that's Image Makers Inc. with a K. Work

2049
02:12:11,092 --> 02:12:13,994
with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning

2050
02:12:14,155 --> 02:12:19,778
resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.

2051
02:12:20,559 --> 02:12:25,522
You got karma. And that is our executive and associate

2052
02:12:25,542 --> 02:12:28,184
executive producers. You will be credited, of course, and these

2053
02:12:28,304 --> 02:12:31,286
credits are actual Hollywood credits. Larry knows all about it.

2054
02:12:31,286 --> 02:12:33,307
You've got some Hollywood credits, don't you, Larry? I do.

2055
02:12:33,768 --> 02:12:40,212
I do. I created and co-produced a primetime series for

2056
02:12:40,252 --> 02:12:44,355
CBS. What? What was that? Can you tell us? Sure.

2057
02:12:44,615 --> 02:12:47,997
It was a reality show. It was called Wickedly Perfect.

2058
02:12:49,138 --> 02:12:54,542
The original title was Finding Martha. And it kind of

2059
02:12:54,682 --> 02:12:57,064
popped. I was actually on my way the next day

2060
02:12:57,444 --> 02:13:00,046
to make a pitch somewhere. And my wife and I

2061
02:13:00,066 --> 02:13:03,588
were watching television and Martha Stewart had just been jailed.

2062
02:13:04,388 --> 02:13:07,371
Oh, I remember that. Sure. Yeah. And so she said,

2063
02:13:07,390 --> 02:13:08,671
man, that'd make a hell of a show. And I

2064
02:13:08,671 --> 02:13:11,193
said, you know, you're right. So I spent all night

2065
02:13:11,333 --> 02:13:14,275
writing the pitch and the show Bible and everything. And

2066
02:13:14,315 --> 02:13:18,638
the next day, boom, it was bought. Wow. Were you

2067
02:13:18,718 --> 02:13:21,600
a showrunner? I was not the showrunner. No, not the

2068
02:13:21,620 --> 02:13:26,684
showrunner. created by credit. Created by credit and some nice

2069
02:13:26,724 --> 02:13:30,046
checks that didn't bounce. And the funny part was, what

2070
02:13:30,066 --> 02:13:32,347
they did was, though, they kind of, I wanted it

2071
02:13:32,367 --> 02:13:35,590
to be really crazy with like some ghetto fabulous chick

2072
02:13:35,670 --> 02:13:39,212
like Missy Elliott or whatever at the helm. And remember,

2073
02:13:39,592 --> 02:13:42,454
CBS is about C and D counties, you know? Yeah.

2074
02:13:42,734 --> 02:13:46,157
And so they sort of watered it down a lot.

2075
02:13:46,257 --> 02:13:49,639
And then they changed the title because apparently Les Moonves

2076
02:13:49,659 --> 02:13:51,480
says, yeah, I like this. I like this. Finding Martha

2077
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:52,901
Good. And then the lawyers got in the room and

2078
02:13:52,901 --> 02:13:57,784
said, No, no, no, we can't do that. We might

2079
02:13:57,845 --> 02:14:01,187
not want to do this. And so it became Wickedly

2080
02:14:01,267 --> 02:14:09,572
Perfect. But it was fun. Fun ride. So executive producer

2081
02:14:09,612 --> 02:14:13,915
and associate executive producer credits for these three people. I

2082
02:14:13,955 --> 02:14:16,377
know we can do better than that, please. And I

2083
02:14:16,457 --> 02:14:20,039
want people to know that Larry and Darren are getting

2084
02:14:20,100 --> 02:14:23,102
paid for what they're doing. So they participate in the

2085
02:14:23,162 --> 02:14:25,483
value for value. We never just ask them to do

2086
02:14:25,563 --> 02:14:27,805
it for free. They didn't ask for anything. I said,

2087
02:14:28,185 --> 02:14:30,787
no, that's not how it's going to work. So you

2088
02:14:30,907 --> 02:14:33,408
are supporting their work while they are here as well.

2089
02:14:33,909 --> 02:14:35,210
And we thank you. For as long as they're here.

2090
02:14:35,410 --> 02:14:37,591
And you never know how long they'll be here. I'm

2091
02:14:37,591 --> 02:14:39,853
kind of feeling comfortable with you boys, to be honest

2092
02:14:39,933 --> 02:14:43,775
about it. Brandon Walters, St. Cloud, Florida, 100. Thank you.

2093
02:14:43,876 --> 02:14:48,138
Jason Shepard in Trinidad, Colorado, 80 and 76 cents. And

2094
02:14:48,178 --> 02:14:51,160
there he is, Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Archduke of Luna, lover

2095
02:14:51,201 --> 02:14:54,923

2171
02:21:24,058 --> 02:21:53,278

2176
02:22:06,807 --> 02:22:10,049
Rhode Island on the 29th. Chester Springs, Nebraska on the

2177
02:22:10,069 --> 02:22:13,332
30th. And then we're into September, October, November. It just

2178
02:22:13,372 --> 02:22:16,354
keeps on going. No agenda meetups. I hope we'll never

2179
02:22:16,454 --> 02:22:19,996
stop. I think that they're a great legacy of the

2180
02:22:20,056 --> 02:22:23,599
show. You can still bring heads on stick. But we

2181
02:22:23,719 --> 02:22:27,041
expect meetup reports and this should be just a whole

2182
02:22:27,101 --> 02:22:31,664
bunch of them. Send them to me, adam.currie.com and just

2183
02:22:31,724 --> 02:22:33,986
record it on your phone. I'll edit them all. Don't

2184
02:22:34,006 --> 02:22:37,168
worry about it. If you can edit it, that's even

2185
02:22:37,228 --> 02:22:41,971
better. Try and do your best, actually, with pre-editing. It

2186
02:22:41,991 --> 02:22:44,273
really does help now that I think about it. Don't

2187
02:22:44,273 --> 02:22:46,774
you have an AI for that yet? Come on. I

2188
02:22:46,914 --> 02:22:49,196
probably could set that up now that I think about

2189
02:22:49,216 --> 02:22:52,358
it. And we'll see if I can get all of

2190
02:22:52,398 --> 02:22:56,721
those done by Sunday, otherwise Thursday. And just thank you

2191
02:22:56,821 --> 02:23:02,505
all for organizing this. The Dvorak family and I and

2192
02:23:02,605 --> 02:23:06,047
Horace, we all talked about there's a memorial for him

2193
02:23:06,127 --> 02:23:12,692
in Oakland. thing. There's something John used to do whenever

2194
02:23:12,712 --> 02:23:16,214
he went into a hotel lobby or a bar anywhere.

2195
02:23:17,075 --> 02:23:19,056
And if there was a piano player, he would always

2196
02:23:19,156 --> 02:23:23,839
ask the piano player to play Stairway to Heaven. So

2197
02:23:24,460 --> 02:23:27,101
there's going to be a piano player playing Stairway to

2198
02:23:27,201 --> 02:23:31,404
Heaven. is kind of the sick humor of the Dvoraks.

2199
02:23:31,404 --> 02:23:35,707
You got to love them for that. Uh, where was

2200
02:23:35,927 --> 02:23:40,971
I? Um... Whatever I was saying. We were talking about

2201
02:23:41,391 --> 02:23:46,114
we wanted to have a community meetup. It's so complicated.

2202
02:23:46,775 --> 02:23:50,177
We couldn't even ever get a big meetup together. We

2203
02:23:50,257 --> 02:23:53,119
talked about the Sphere and Vegas and all kinds of

2204
02:23:53,259 --> 02:23:56,561
venues where people could get to easily. This is the

2205
02:23:56,621 --> 02:23:59,623
way I expected NOAA Gena Nation to go. Do it

2206
02:23:59,663 --> 02:24:03,486
locally. Do it with your people. And don't let it

2207
02:24:03,546 --> 02:24:05,888
be the last time. This should be just the beginning,

2208
02:24:05,968 --> 02:24:09,010
just the first of many, more no agenda meetups go

Can I drop off here? Because I got a guy

They're awesome. Love you mean it. No homo. Exactly. That's

2224
02:25:02,626 --> 02:25:05,488
the way to leave a show right there. That's perfect.

2225
02:25:05,488 --> 02:25:08,610
You don't top that. And yeah, all those meetups, I

2226
02:25:08,710 --> 02:25:11,632
can't wait to hear those meetup reports. It should be

2227
02:25:12,392 --> 02:25:18,397
entertaining. The JCD stories, we want to hear them. But

2228
02:25:18,437 --> 02:25:20,618
yeah, just do a little editing. It's nice. I took

2229
02:25:20,718 --> 02:25:26,002
my portable Zoom recorder out to our meetup and it

2230
02:25:26,042 --> 02:25:27,483
makes it a lot easier. But if it's on a

2231
02:25:27,663 --> 02:25:32,166
phone. you can still make it sound. Sure. Those zooms

2232
02:25:32,226 --> 02:25:34,007
are great. I got one of those. It's a nice

2233
02:25:34,027 --> 02:25:36,589
unit. And I do have, we have to start getting

2234
02:25:36,589 --> 02:25:38,570
you to bring some ISOs as well for the end

2235
02:25:38,650 --> 02:25:41,552
of show. But I do have a couple that were

2236
02:25:41,792 --> 02:25:46,095
sent in here, including this one, because in honor, JCD

2237
02:25:46,335 --> 02:25:53,560
loved the. the text-to-speech Trump and Obama, so... They are

shrinking the amygdalas. DONATE Kind of a long pause in

2239
02:26:01,225 --> 02:26:03,747
there. It was an okay Trump, though. It was a

2240
02:26:03,947 --> 02:26:06,829
very good Trump, I thought. And this one from the

you want to try to go and order a, you

know, a Frosty or something, that's what you're going to

2246
02:26:23,921 --> 02:26:27,343
get. Except they sound much less synthetic than she did,

2247
02:26:27,803 --> 02:26:30,445
I've got to say. There's some that are getting better,

2248
02:26:30,485 --> 02:26:34,728
some that are getting worse. But I think for today's

2249

02:26:41,813 --> 02:26:44,735
think that. That's good. I think that pretty much is.

2252
02:26:45,115 --> 02:26:49,938
Donate, donate. I think it was my buddy Noberay. always

2253
02:26:50,198 --> 02:26:54,261
trolling along when we were doing Planet Rage. Like, you

2254
02:26:54,361 --> 02:26:58,744
gotta complain about the donations otherwise. You're not doing JCD

2255
02:26:58,924 --> 02:27:04,428
rights? Maybe. Maybe he's got a little bit of a

2256
02:27:04,488 --> 02:27:07,490
point there. I'm not going to say. That he is

2257
02:27:07,590 --> 02:27:10,732
wrong. And, oh, what we didn't do earlier either was

2258
02:27:10,792 --> 02:27:17,057
the troll count. Right now, 733 with a peak of

2259
02:27:17,097 --> 02:27:27,544
850. And, yeah, they ran. Troll count. People, they're not

2260
02:27:27,564 --> 02:27:31,826
happy unless they hear the drops. That's for darn sure.

2261
02:27:31,907 --> 02:27:34,568
Did you have anything else that you wanted to cover

2262
02:27:34,708 --> 02:27:37,470
on today's show? I think that kicks it in the

2263
02:27:37,510 --> 02:27:40,893
head, Darren. Wait, is that a good kick in the

2264
02:27:40,953 --> 02:27:46,016
head or is that a... That is a recognition of

2265
02:27:46,356 --> 02:27:49,178
a New York talk radio legend named Bob Grant. He

2266
02:27:49,178 --> 02:27:51,160
used to end every show like that. That kicks it

2267
02:27:51,180 --> 02:27:54,402
in the head for another day. Well, that makes sense.

2268
02:27:54,482 --> 02:28:00,025
So that is going to do it for another edition

2269
02:28:00,186 --> 02:28:02,707
of the Best Damn Podcast in the Universe coming up

2270
02:28:02,847 --> 02:28:08,411
next on the Mighty No Agenda stream. The MMO show.

2271
02:28:09,652 --> 02:28:12,434
You always wonder what that MMO stands for. The Millennial

2272
02:28:13,114 --> 02:28:21,260
Media Offensive. Episode number 230. We have some end of

2273
02:28:21,380 --> 02:28:25,803
show mixes coming up. from, let's see, oh, the great

2274
02:28:26,623 --> 02:28:28,745
Sir Chris Wilson. And now if I don't say it's

2275
02:28:28,745 --> 02:28:31,006
the great big Steve Stones, he's not going to be...

2276
02:28:32,487 --> 02:28:34,329
So we got a couple of those, which is good.

2277
02:28:34,849 --> 02:28:36,990
We didn't have one last time, and I had to

2278
02:28:37,151 --> 02:28:41,013
play the Wind of Oryx chair, gently squeaks, and you

2279
02:28:41,073 --> 02:28:43,995
know. There's only so much of that that people can

2280
02:28:44,075 --> 02:28:48,638
handle. So coming to you from just outside of Chiraq,

2281
02:28:48,738 --> 02:28:51,540
right here in FEMA Region Number 5, in the morning,

2282
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:56,704

02:28:56,804 --> 02:29:01,087
shore, I'm Larry Blydener. We will be back here on

2284
02:29:01,267 --> 02:29:08,031
Sunday. Remember us at NoAgendaDonations.com. Until then, hooey, hooey. Thank

2285
02:29:08,071 --> 02:29:14,236
you for your courage. Adios, mofos and such. Donate. What

2286
02:29:14,316 --> 02:29:17,057
more do you need to know? Do it. You see

2287
02:29:17,118 --> 02:29:28,425
that? Yeah? That's shit. And this? Shinola. Shit. Shinola. Son,

2288
02:29:28,525 --> 02:29:34,589
you're gonna be alrighty, alrighty. You can't even stop saying

2289
02:29:34,629 --> 02:29:38,752
bullshit. Bull crap. Bull crap. You're doing good so far.

2290
02:29:40,013 --> 02:29:42,895
We used to laugh at that shit. Help, I've fallen,

2291
02:29:42,955 --> 02:29:44,876
I can't get up. Now it's like... You said it

2292
02:29:44,976 --> 02:29:48,279
way too much. I'm sorry. Cut it back. I can't

2293
02:29:48,339 --> 02:29:55,824
help myself. - He's crying. - Oh, it's horrible. No,

2294
02:29:55,964 --> 02:29:57,104
I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it.

2295
02:29:57,104 --> 02:29:58,565
I'm going to say it. I would say that I

2296
02:29:58,585 --> 02:29:59,766
was going to say it and say it, but I'm

2297
02:29:59,766 --> 02:29:59,966
not going to.

2298
02:30:00,200 --> 02:30:04,563
I have to say it. That's bullshit. It's unreal you

2299
02:30:04,623 --> 02:30:08,326
said bullshit again. You know, that's a difference between you

2300
02:30:08,406 --> 02:30:14,110
and me. I asked you to stop saying shit. Hey,

2301
02:30:14,170 --> 02:30:47,394
no! Bullshit Bull crap incredible momentum of AI and robots.

2302
02:30:48,515 --> 02:30:51,897
And at times I sort of think, well, perhaps, you

2303
02:30:51,917 --> 02:30:55,060
know, even if there was a stop button, we probably

2304
02:30:55,080 --> 02:31:05,668
shouldn't press it. Imagine there's no Elon. It's easy. If
