EP 1842: A Dog A Day

we're better than you are no you suck adam curry john c devora it's thursday february 12th 2026

this is your award-winning kibble nation media assassination episode 1842 this is no agenda

epstein elections drones outrage as we broadcast live from the heart of the texas hill country here

in fema region number six in the morning everybody i'm adam curry and from northern silicon valley

Are you ever wondering whether the Nancy Guthrie story is similar to the Iran saga?

I'm John C. Dvorak.

It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.

In the morning.

Well, there's a comparison I hadn't heard yet.

The Iran hostage crisis.

This.

Remember how long that went on?

Didn't that go on for like 140 days?

I think it was a year.

It was a long time if I recall.

I mean, I was young, but yes, I recall.

I recall.

Well, nobody else cares.

Well, there's a few interesting things about the Nancy Guthrie case.

I don't know if you have any clips.

I happen to have something here.

Well, I was hoping not to discuss it.

Since you brought it up.

Well, the only thing that's really interesting is the Ring camera.

The Ring camera is interesting because Google and the FBI were able to retrieve some video

from back-end systems where, gosh, that was kind of odd

because she did not have a subscription.

Nancy Guthrie did not have a subscription.

This is, so they bring on.

So they're stealing the material anyway.

Subscription or no subscription.

Yeah, this is great.

So why bother having a subscription?

So they bring on the founder of Ring, Jamie Siminoff.

I guess, didn't they sell that?

Did they sell it to Google?

I think it was independent, and then Google bought them.

Google bought them? Well, listen to this.

Nancy Guthrie did not have a subscription.

As you said, with your product, if there's no subscription,

you're saying there's no way to find the data.

The FBI apparently worked with a parent company in this, Google,

to be able to get the data for people who have a Nest camera.

Even if you're not subscribing, that does create the possibility, it sounds like,

that your data is still somewhere

in what they're calling a back-end system.

I'm just curious if that surprises you

that they were able to find it in that.

Well, I'm so surprised.

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't want to speculate.

Maybe they're also, maybe we're wrong

and that she did have some sort of subscription.

You know, again, we're getting a lot of,

in the sort of, in these cases,

I've found that a lot of the things

that we're hearing are not always correct

and we find out later what's actually happening.

I do know with Ring specifically,

um if you delete a recording or if you don't want a recording um you don't have a subscription we do

not have it stored i know that because i've i built the systems uh with my team um but again i

i'm happy to see here that you know for whatever the reason was that they were able to with this

camera you know recover this because i do think this evidence is yes hopefully going to lead to

um the a solution here to this this really just tragic case and we really don't know was it a

nest camera a ring camera it's all so complicated but the reason why it was interesting to me

and clearly to the team at fox news uh was because of the super bowl commercial and it raises all of

this raises the issue of surveillance and we want to get to ring's recent ad that aired during the

weekend's big game the super bowl promoting the camera's new search party feature the ai feature

search party for dogs and it's getting some serious pushback over privacy concerns but let's

let the viewers take a look one post of a dog's photo in the ring app starts outdoor cameras

looking for a match search party from ring uses ai to help families find lost dogs since launch

more than a dog a day has been reunited dog a day dog a day jamie were you surprised at the

backlashed because some of the reaction was surveillance state surveillance state yes

yes yes why are you yelling and were you surprised at that i was surprised i mean i can understand

the concern when you when you look though at how search party for dog works it it actually like is

a completely built on privacy so what we do is we like we look for a dog's one post a dog we find

that we say to you know jamie this dog that's lost in your neighborhood looks like this dog in front

of your camera do you want to contact your neighbor if you say no your privacy is protected

and you're a whore if wait if you say no your privacy is protected if you say yes well privacy

is gone i guess it's lost in your neighborhood looks like this dog in front of your camera

do you want to contact your neighbor if you say no your privacy is protected by saying no it just

it doesn't make any sense at all i think you have to look at it the the other way if you say yes

your privacy is not protected that's what he's saying that's that's the point camera do you want

to contact your neighbor if you say no your privacy is protected you're totally fine if you

say yes what privacy are we dealing with here let him finish we'll find out if you say no your

privacy is protected you're totally fine if you say yes then like i think most people would want

to you help return the dog and what we've seen in the response is definitely this is this is so

American like we're always

you know I want liberty

over you know privacy

but if it's about a dog I don't care

I mean it's a dog ladies and gentlemen it's a dog

I've always said

you know immigrants all that stuff

but the minute you hit the dogs that's why Trump

won the election they're eating the dogs

people went no no no this is

the line Americans

good callback

it's the way it is

there is concern from people that I think that don't understand

how the system works, which is a shame.

But the people that don't understand it,

the people that...

I literally got a text from a friend today

who didn't know we were doing this

and said he cried when he watched it

because two years ago his dog was lost

and they never found it.

And they wish they had a system like this.

So I do think what it's doing is so important.

We're returning over a dog a day

and we're doing it by keeping privacy and trust

because that is very important.

I love dog a day.

Dog a day, there's a show title right off the bat.

Dog a day.

And, of course, the only real question we want to know is, well, if you can do it with dogs, well, how about humans?

So I think the question I would ask as sort of the layman watching this is, well, if you can do that for a dog, you could do it for a human too, right?

And I think that's where people get nervous.

Well, how come you couldn't find Nancy Guthrie's mom?

I don't want to be surveilled by my neighbors if my neighbors don't like me or something.

is there is there a protection built into the system to make sure that what you're doing for

dogs doesn't happen for a human yeah so we the the number one post in our neighbor's app was

lost dogs and so we built this for lost dogs the system works around dogs it does not work for

humans um oh yeah right it wouldn't even work for that okay i'm just gonna do it surveillance state

come on these things are all connected they're trolling your camera in real time it is being

recorded the fbi knows everybody knows this and we we saw this coming down mount main street a

long time ago yeah it's no big deal well i don't know about it not being a big deal it's not a big

deal and you either put these cameras up or you don't who cares they're mostly a nuisance well

well he's got one at the house and it goes off all the time every time a bird flies by

Oh, you've got to turn on pet detection.

A deer comes up and bumps it.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

Yeah.

It's just, it's just like, ah.

Well, before we go deep into the show, I do have two clips I want to get out of the way,

which I think are the clips of the era.

Of the era.

Uh-oh.

I don't think we have a clip of the era jingle.

No, we don't.

And we're not going to ever.

Okay.

All right.

This is two reports.

The same story reported two different ways.

One a little more accurate, I'd say, than the other.

and funnier but let's listen to this one this is your texas story this is your texas news where

you're gone you're missing out oh gee what did i miss this is the drone bbc is the bbc i did not

miss this story the punchline will be self-explanatory bbc the trump administration

has blamed a mexican cartel drone incursion for the temporary closure of the airspace over el paso

International Airport in Texas. The measure was initially ordered for 10 days for special

security reasons, but was lifted within hours. The Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said

swift action was taken to disable the drone. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum says

authorities are investigating the incident. El Paso's mayor slammed the closure, saying it

caused widespread disruption and confusion. I want to be very, very clear that this should

have never happened you cannot restrict airspace over a major city without coordinating with the

city the airport the hospitals the community leadership that failure to communicate is

unacceptable yes yes i you know i when i read the story i immediately um sent a text message

This is before we found out what it was.

I sent a text message to my buddy Maverick, who has a plane.

His mom lives in El Paso.

He goes to El Paso all the time.

And I said, I don't know what's going on.

I said, no, I already told my mom.

Start driving.

Get out of El Paso.

The cartels are coming.

Oh, brother.

Well, that's what we all thought here.

Well, here is the, I don't know if this came before or after the BBC report,

which makes it sound pretty impressive, but here is the NPR report, which is probably a little

more accurate. The Trump administration says a U.S. military laser shot down what it said was

a drug cartel drone near El Paso on the U.S.-Mexico border. However, it now appears the target may

have actually been a party balloon. NPR's Greg Myrie has the details. Transportation Secretary

Sean Duffy said the military and the Federal Aviation Administration, quote, acted swiftly

to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized. The FAA also announced the

highly unusual step of closing El Paso's airspace for 10 days, then lifted the ban several hours

later. However, a U.S. official familiar with the matter, but not authorized to speak publicly,

gave NPR's Tom Bowman a different account. The source said the Pentagon recently authorized

Customs and Border Protection to use the high-energy laser.

The agency then shot down a suspected drone,

but it now appears the object was a Mylar party balloon that posed no threat.

This, by the way, is not confirmed that it was a party balloon,

but the story is.

Oh, come on, it was.

I'm sure it was.

You fire up a big laser that must have cost probably a grand

to get to get up to power and pops pops a balloon now i'm reminded of the fact that i used to send

up uh garbage bags um of course i always have a have a helium tank around the house

and occasionally you just if there was an event or something at the house i'd always

i say you want to say kids you want to see something funny and so you fill up a big big

you know 35 gallon garbage bag with helium and you put a little tag at the bottom which

It'll keep it nice and balanced.

And you just push it off the front porch.

And it really just doesn't go very high.

It just kind of just wanders.

And it's this garbage bag floating over the San Francisco Bay.

And you can just watch it for about an hour as it goes over.

I just find it to be funny.

Back in the day, we didn't have TikTok.

We didn't have Instagram.

We had garbage bags with helium.

But these mylar balloons, which I think you can pick them up on radar.

I think it's possible that this, you know,

was just picked up on a radar and they made all these assumptions.

That's the way I see it.

Well, on the other hand,

we are touting that we have lasers that can shoot drones out of the sky.

That's kind of good PR.

There are a lot of drone incursions on the border, apparently.

I was just looking at the pilot forums and this does happen quite a bit.

But the whole thing is what we do, man.

Hey, you got to...

We got directed energy weapons over here, party kids.

We'll take care of you.

I mean, the whole thing may have been a publicity stunt just to promote the laser.

That was my thought.

I'm like, well, you know, that's kind of something.

Just so you know, when you're flying your drones with drugs over, we do have lasers.

I wonder what happens if you laser a drone with fentanyl.

That may not be a good thing.

What would go...

Why?

Because maybe the fentanyl just explodes and then wafts down over everybody.

Well, fentanyl doesn't explode.

No.

No, but it could be vaporized.

I don't know.

I'm just asking questions.

You know, like all podcasters.

I'm just asking questions.

Well, no.

I'd like to know.

I'd like to see some of the results of some of these.

i'd like to see some evidence that this these lasers do much more than just disable the thing

that's what i'm guessing it just disables and comes crashing down uh i don't think it vaporizes

the drone what i was the hole in the balloon big deal i was reading that it's a 20 or 20 kilowatt

laser which seems like a lot you know the the little laser pens people are shooting at planes

I think a watt maybe.

Imagine 20 kilowatts.

I think that could do some damage if it's true.

If it's true.

We don't know.

As usual.

We do know.

Yeah, we have people who know.

We do have people who know.

But this is my guy here.

He's the guy that's in all that.

I got to talk to him.

The last guy you talked to apparently wanted to fleece El Paso with his family

because they were afraid of the incursions of the cartels coming to get everybody.

No, but the guy from the Department of War who's in the Modern Warfare Department,

he would know.

I'll ask him.

Well, you know, he can't tell me much, but I can say, blink your eyes.

Well, have him guide you to some information that is useful.

I will. I will.

I'm actually mad I didn't think of that earlier.

One of our producers suggests that Nancy Guthrie was killed by an illegal,

and the whole thing is a cover-up.

Ooh.

Because he has an exact example of what happened.

This happened in University of Colorado, I think Boulder campus.

He says this happened.

Some student was killed by an illegal, and the police did everything they could.

Covered it up.

Because they don't need any more Trump and Lake and Riley, you know,

tributes they don't need it especially with the network tvs stars so hold on a second that would

kind of explain this bullcrap uh ring slash nest slash whatever camera story where you have this

guy with a backpack and the and the the throwaway gloves and he's and he's just you know a ring

doorbell you can rip that off it's not hard you can kick it and it's done but no he's going back

He's getting leaves.

Yeah, he's kicking around with sagebrush.

That could be the hoax right there.

Yeah, and it came out, came late.

Yeah, that could be the cover-up.

Yeah, it makes sense to me.

I did get a note from one of our producers on Thursday's show.

Could you and or John address two things?

One, what is, quote, residual data from back-end systems?

That would be bullcrap, is what I would say,

because that's what they're saying.

oh we we got video was residual and we have all these tech people residual data for saying yeah

it sounds like a silicon valley bull crap phrase i mean i'm sure i'm sure that if you delete

something yes it's still recoverable from a drive yeah you can do that yes and two how can random

folks monitor activity in a bitcoin wallet well i will answer that if if you have the bitcoin

wallet where it's being sent to then you can monitor that wallet to see if anything came in

that's that's the whole point of the open blockchain and then you can follow it to see

if it goes somewhere and ultimately winds up in an exchange then you can jump in as law enforcement

unless of course you use a mixer and a mixer can then mix it all up or you could put it on

There's ways you could get around it.

But that's the whole point of Bitcoin.

It's transparent.

I got a very short clip here,

which explains the term that we have been trying to eradicate from our brains.

This was a surprising clip that I got this morning.

The term, and this does not count, by the way.

No, this doesn't count.

It doesn't count.

Do you even know where that comes from, by the way?

Yeah, I did a whole thing on it about, it's about by, it goes back to 900 actually, but

it means by the side of the, it means by the road and it was used, it was used, I don't

have the sheet in front of me now because it's been a while, but it was used as directional.

Well, according to Maya Angelou from her book.

Oh, well, here we go.

This is why I like it.

From her book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, this is an excerpt from her audio book.

But later in the evening, I found that my violation lay in using the phrase, by the way.

Mama explained that Jesus was the way, the truth, and the light.

And anyone who says, by the way, is really saying by Jesus or by God.

and the lord's name would not be taken in vain in her house when bailey tried to interpret the words

with white folks used by the way to mean while we're on the subject mama reminded us that white

mouths were most in general loose and their words were an abomination before christ so you white man

or an abomination

there's no documentation for this whatsoever

I'm like oh that's interesting

yeah you can look it up

the etymology is available

I'll look it up on AI

AI will tell me exactly what it is

exactly

man there's so much

so the Super Bowl

I did not watch very much of the Super Bowl

why would you

Yeah, I was doing other things on Sunday.

Well, not that, but why would you?

You're not a football guy.

That's the only football game I watch is the Super Bowl.

Well, you can watch the highlights.

Okay.

It was, by the way, you didn't miss anything.

It was one of the boringest Super Bowl games.

You just said, by the way.

Oh, my God.

Yes, by his way, the way, the light, the life.

That's what I'm talking about.

By Jesus' way, you didn't miss anything.

the game stunk yeah it was boring it got kind of interesting after the after the show that the uh

that the seattle team played dirty and knocked some guy while he was out of bounds it was just

kind of a dirty play by one of the seattle players and then all of a sudden the other team scored

patriot scored and then it might oh maybe they can win this would be great because they could

do a comeback it'd be funny no no they just crapped out and the team you know it was boring

And the commercials were not great.

I mean, there was some of them were gruesome.

There was a talking gobs of hair, which I thought was disgusting.

There's a bunch of headless people in one commercial where the heads were chopped off.

Who needs that aggravation?

And it was just, it was the whole thing.

And then they had Green Day, you know, come out.

First, they bring it.

This is the classic.

They bring out all these.

They got a bunch of all-stars.

There's a lot of 49ers, Joe Montana, Steve Young.

They brought him out, put him on the stage while Green Day sang American Idiot,

which I thought was the most insulting thing he could do.

Pretty much.

And nobody picked up on that obviosity, and it was just annoying.

I just found the whole thing to be, this spectacle is laughable.

Just looking at the overall picture of this, and it was all in Spanish,

Oh, and the Spanish bad bunny thing. That got a lot of attention.

To me, to me, that was all about the midterms. It seems very apparent right now that we have, that we, I think we clearly have the Democrat Party and their operatives working very hard on, you know, getting, they failed with the black vote.

That was what BLM was all about.

And they said, okay, black America, vote for us.

They didn't get as many as they wanted because Trump got a lot.

And then you notice that out on the protests everywhere in the streets, there's pretty much no black people.

None.

I haven't seen one.

Exactly.

So, you know, I kind of started to figure to tie this all together.

I thought I had a clip.

uh, let me see if I have this here somewhere.

Uh, Hmm.

Somehow I'm missing, missing something here.

I wonder what happened to all my clips.

I'm on Linux by the way.

So that would, that should not, should not surprise you.

Um, but the, all of this is a strategy, you know, the, because how many cities are really

going nuts protesting?

It's Minneapolis.

We had Los Angeles for a little bit.

it's all paid for we know it's the same yeah or portland portland um and there's some little bit

in chicago but it's all paid for by the same entities that go into the same the exact same

people the black lives matter activists now they're out there for but you know and you see

all this horrible um you know uh just uh people getting beat up what you actually don't see much

of is immigrants illegal immigrants you don't you know you always hear about well they dragged

this person out of the car and they did this and they did that and what you really only see

is protesters uh american citizen protesters who are getting rousted getting shot and that's the

shock value of it but we're not idea yeah that is the idea and from what i understand

And, you know, with that recent election in Texas, which went to a Democrat, they consider that to be the reason to be that the Mexican-American, the Latin American vote is pulling away from Trump because they don't like what they see.

And I think that that seems to me to be the entire strategy behind all of this is let's because what do we have?

We have 30% of America is Latinx, would you say?

I don't know.

I think it is.

I think it's up there.

So it seems like that's the plan.

I mean, everything is about the midterms, obviously.

Well, everything's about the midterms, and that probably is the plan,

and that's what you do.

And they're doing an excellent, you know,

no matter what anyone likes to think, and they shake their fist at it,

they're doing an excellent job.

I think Schumer's behind a lot of it, even though some of the cornball stuff, he's behind all that stuff, too.

But I think they're doing an excellent job of swinging the voters toward the Democrats for the because they know there's two factors here.

One, the Republicans don't come out to vote.

The Republicans that that little area in Texas was went 30, 30 points over for Trump.

Yes, yes.

It's a Trump district.

Yes.

But why didn't – but it went to this Democrat doofus because the Republicans never come out.

Oh, whatever.

Who cares?

I mean the Republicans are basically lazy.

They're a terrible party for this.

They don't – they can't get jacked up about anything unless all hell is breaking loose and then they'll come out.

And so they're just pushing.

They're going to – I think that unless something changes or they pull a great stunt – I mean Trump has it in him to do.

it uh the republicans are gonna get wiped out in the uh in the midterms here's uh this is from

uh i forget which podcast this is this is a guy from the brennan center isn't the brennan

is that literally john brennan heard of the brennan center yeah the brennan centers that's

been around let me see yeah yeah brennan's i think that i think that was something set up by

john brennan if i'm not mistaken brennan center for justice yes non-profit based in new york

that works to defend democracy well you know brennan the cia guy let me let me see what the

uh what wikipedia says if it's a no william j brennan no different guy oh former supreme court

justice brennan who i do not remember it's uh it's basically another uh democrat another money

laundering operation another money laundering operation so they have this guy on uh on this

podcast mike walden from the brennan center and this was in december before everything really

kicked off in minneapolis on january 31st a special election for this is from promethean

action i know i i i should not be playing these clips but this was actually quite good on january

31st a special election for a texas state senate seat turned into a warning shot a district that

Donald Trump, carried by 17 points in 2024, saw the Republican candidate lose in what should have

been an absolutely safe race. Now, let's go back to that interview with the Brennan Center's

Mike Waldman and look at when it was recorded. It was recorded back on December 10th. And here's

what Walden said then about how Democrats could flip back voters who had voted for Trump in 2024.

And in Texas in particular, for example, what they aim to do is move some more Democratic voters out of Democratic districts, in fact, to try to flip some of the Southern Texans that have been, to many people's surprise, moving toward the Republicans, even though they're heavily Hispanic.

That kind of assumed patterns in that community would stay the same as they were in 2024, when Donald Trump won a very substantial share of the Latino vote all over the country.

The ICE raids, the brutality and all these other things we've seen seem to pushing that community back toward, in a sense, more traditional partisan landing spot in the Democratic Party.

There you go. That's the whole strategy. The whole strategy. Make it look horrible. Make it look bad. People dying. And they don't care. They don't care if white people die. They don't. This is completely about.

no they do care they want more white people to die well there's that and they do care and then

there was the the outrage and i where was i it was i think it was friday friday or saturday

and people oh man did you see the meme did you see the meme like what meme you talk about oh

you haven't seen the lion king meme what are you talking about no i have not seen the meme

and and and well i'm gonna you're gonna see it this is the the outrage started right away about

the meme you've likely seen the blowback from a racist video reposted by the president of the

united states overnight president donald trump on truth social posted the obamas as apes now the

image appears at the end of a one minute video where trump once again promotes false claims the

2020 presidential election so listen to what he says promotes false claims back it up a little

bit one minute video where trump once again promotes false claims okay so he's saying that

oh this video trump once again promoting false claims one minute video where trump once again

promotes false claims the 2020 presidential election was rigged it was just a two second

clip that shows the obama's heads edited onto the bodies of primates to the song the lion sleeps

tonight now we show you this image that's now been taken down by the white house by president

trump so that you can see what had so many people up in arms so for context here it is this post

has since been deleted okay so that you know cbs outrage i go looking around for some more here's

the other one and listen to what they say about the video was about i am by the way the least

racist president you've had in a long time president trump's controversial late night

video post on thursday was about alleged voter fraud and just over was about alleged voter fraud

a minute long i like the beginning i saw it and just passed it on and i guess probably nobody

reviewed the end of it because what i saw at the beginning was really really strong but the end of

the video showed a depiction of the obamas as apes press secretary caroline levitt initially defended

the post and called it an internet meme about the lion king adding stop the fake outrage the

political fallout was swift with some members of the president's own party calling on him to take

down the post and apologize. But the president says he didn't do anything wrong. We took it down

as soon as we found out. I didn't make a mistake. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the lone

black Republican in the U.S. Senate, posted this, praying it was fake because it's the most racist

thing I've seen out of this White House. The president should remove it. CBS News has learned

the president personally called Senator Scott and said the video was a staffer's mistake.

The post was deleted after the president's call with Senator Scott.

I think that it was an acknowledgement that this was definitely an error.

I just don't believe a lower-level staffer actually did it.

Republican political strategist Malik Abdul.

Donald Trump has to have a serious reset, or he's going to risk not just what happens in the midterm.

Donald Trump is going to risk his legacy if he does not change course.

So that's a black Republican strategist.

Now, obviously, we have to go.

guy at the end that guy at the end was who was that guy did that sound like what's his name the

the the brooks and k-part guy k-part i don't think i don't think that was k-part no it wasn't k-part

no no it was just like him no i did the clip myself so obviously i'm like all right here's

what i think happened uh a video a video was posted they screen recorded it probably on tiktok

or whatever and then it scrolled up and then you got the uh that little bit of the obamas whether

that is what was intentional or not is a secondary fact but i'm like well what is the video that he

posted and so i go look and can't find it can't find it i go on gemini i say gemini this video

was gemini this video was taken down uh go find it uh it's probably on youtube somewhere it spends

15 minutes after

disconnecting a server. No, can't find it.

It was taken down. Does not exist.

It's not available.

Okay.

So, obviously, when this video

came out, whatever it was,

apparently false claims by the president

about the election,

we had to immediately

jump on this and

the distraction be

the two seconds of the Obamas

as apes, which is part of a longer

video where all of these

all these uh congress critters and elites are all yeah you know i saw this video which one the

lion king video yeah yeah it had nothing to do with election fraud no it was just a rando video

when a stupid video with and at the end wasn't the obamas at the end it was trump at the end

walking through with a lion on a lot his head positioned on the lion and he walks through

toward the screen at the end.

That's how it ended.

This is exactly what all the Republican podcasters are saying,

is it wasn't racist at all.

Well, I didn't say that.

I didn't say it wasn't racist.

I said that what their description of it is wrong.

Correct.

But that's not what the video was.

So I finally got a copy of the video that was the minute before the two seconds.

And that was, I would say, something that needed to be covered up by outrage about the racist video.

Mission investigation team obtained forensic access to a DS-200 tabulator, the machine that counts the votes.

A Telenet 4G wireless chip manufactured in Taiwan was discovered embedded into the motherboard.

The voting machine tapes clearly indicate modem engagement and transmission of election data.

some of the anomalies that we noticed in the 2020 general elections that five key states

all stopped counting at a certain time in these key battleground states these were all where the

software dominion machines esns machines were used the the smartmatic the gems software so when the

vote stopped counting and this has been noted in other countries as well president trump was

significantly ahead when reporting and counting resumed there was a massive spike occurred that

that favored joe biden

that's the whole video with that little bit at the end so it's forensic it's a forensic

investigation showing how the uh the smartmatic software and the dominion voting machine stopped

counting all in five key districts all at the same time and then after they started recounting

then biden just spiked above trump that was interesting yes that was that has been that

little uh that information was floating around because they the people that make the machine

said they couldn't be accessed through the internet and you couldn't do anything overseas

it had a g4 modem chip on it yeah so of course we had and so now the question is

was that an intentional um two second at the end was it really a mistake was it sabotage

because for sure none of the none of the news outlets actually discussed it all they said oh

that was just trump trump uh you know claiming that the election was stolen no it was forensic

evidence there was a lot more interesting than trump claiming the elections weren't stolen

So this is either the botch of the century, which I think it was probably, or someone within the White House, whoever is responsible for posting that, sabotaged it.

That's very reasonable.

Yeah, I think it's super reasonable.

Yeah, I think that's probably what happened.

And if I remember, I thought on Friday the president was talking about, oh, something big coming, something big coming.

And this might have been the beginning of something big.

Remember, they still have Maduro.

Well, they also had, they had released, they've released the documents about the Fulton County thing.

I thought I had a clip, but I guess I don't.

They released the warrant, the details.

And it has to do with some, I guess some, I really think some whistleblower.

came up and said hey go look you guys have been looking at this and looking at that but you're not

looking in the right place for the right thing look at this and uh or maybe maduro and maduro

could have something yeah i'm not i'm not we can't give up on maduro being part of this no i'm not

giving up on him at all so but i mean what a botch what an incredible botch because they just get to

dismiss it and google for all i can tell just wiped it no residual data on their hard drives

for that video gemini and then i went to grok grok find this for me it's been deleted the post

the president took it down i can't find it you have to look around on x maybe you can find it huh

yeah i should be able to find it well i did eventually there's a big shot

oh the big shot ai can't do this no it's going to do all these things for you but it can't find

a video give me a break ah there's a good place i've been using you know i've been using you can

use ai you know in the olden days this is a little sidebar in the olden days you could use google to

get people's email addresses yeah yeah i kind of remember that yeah you could all you had to do is

if you knew the last thing you could pretty much work it around by doing the if you knew what the

domain was at something or other you can get their email address and then they stopped doing that

they because oh i don't know privacy and so that so oh no privacy oh what about privacy you can't

give somebody an email address out so so i've been noticing you can get email addresses with

uh the ai systems uh grok can give them you can find them and so can perplexity and anthropic

they can all find email addresses sometimes sometimes because i've noticed that you have

to ask if this is a tip for people looking for people's email addresses uh you have to add you

have to specifically ask for his public email address which is the email address so you ask

for the email address but if you don't do it couch it right i know perplexity came back with

they gave me the email address and i asked again for something else is you can't even come close

to doing this because it's a privacy concern i'm thinking what is this thing what are these

things doing i mean they have all these uh these crazy rules and regulations out of the blue they

have you know i guess there's guardrails that are coded in but it's like it's just rando yeah but

you can use uh you can find people's email addresses it seems to me well i'm asking it

now to find adam curry's public email address so we'll see if it pops up um there was an

interesting post that this guy wrote that's been going around i don't know if you know if you got

it from matt schumer matt schumer's apparently uh i guess he has an ai company and he sold that

and he has a couple of his investments in ai companies and he wrote this uh this essay called

something big is happening oh look adam curry's primary public email address which he frequently

mentions on the no agenda podcast for listener feedback and producer communication is adam

at curry.com for increase specifically related to merchandise or the no agenda shop

email is shop at no agenda shop.com well that's nice they're promoting our merch

didn't ask didn't ask for it but it's promoting the merch and what this guy says and i think this

is probably true that all of the ai companies have focused their model training on uh coding

and I would have to say that that appears to be true

because this whole system that I built within a day or two

and fixed a bug that we had on the last show,

I just built it by telling it what I wanted it to do

and it did it.

You have to know something about systems for sure.

Otherwise, you probably won't be very successful.

But the coding part, I think there's something there.

I mean, it's not, I mean, it's too expensive for them to run it,

but man, it does some really cool things.

Yeah, everybody thinks so.

Yeah.

What is this from?

You know, but then again, so what?

It serves a small percentage of the community.

What is the percentage of people that care to code, you know,

dare to code, care to code?

It's not that many.

Well, no.

It couldn't find the video for you, but it could code some, you know, Linux, some programs for your Linux box.

Hold on a second.

So just stay with me.

I'm a little more cautious about AI is no good now because you definitely can create, if you know what you're doing and what you really want and you understand systems, you have to understand systems.

People have no idea how computers work.

They don't understand systems.

But if you understand the basics of systems, then you can create something that could enhance your own productivity.

You can create a service.

I mean, it's not like you, I don't think you're going to create a company overnight.

Like, oh, look at this, this widget I made.

I can charge money for this.

Probably not.

But when it comes to productivity, it's already done things for this show.

Oh, tons.

In fact, I wanted to compliment Darren O'Neill for doing the art for my last Substack column on toxoplasmosis and the, you know, the crazy liberal women.

And so I asked Darren to do some art, and he comes back with 18 stunning pieces.

But beside art, John, we know we can do art.

Well, yeah, but art is an example.

This is similar to coding.

I mean, it's good at it.

Yes, it's good at it.

But you have to be good as the guy telling you what to do

because it's not everybody that can do that.

Well, again, you have to understand what the ultimate outcome is going to be.

And Darren understands us, understands what we like, understands the show,

understands the dynamics of album art, which is not something you hang on the wall.

You can't blow it up and then, oh, look at all these little details.

He gets that.

But that's kind of my point.

I think, well, actually, it came because there was this clip about UC Berkeley or the University of California system is seeing a drop in computer science enrollment.

Listen to this.

It was once a degree to some of the highest paying jobs in the world.

But now the University of California is seeing a drop in enrollment for computer science.

I was going to bring in our business and tech reporter, Scott Budman.

Scott, I saw that this hasn't happened since the dot-com bust.

So is this a bad sign for tech?

You know, it really could be, but things are a little bit different than they were back in 99 and 2000.

And, Audrey, as you can imagine, when all those stocks fell and the companies went out of business,

it was really tough for a young person to say, you know what I want to do right now is get a job in tech and get a job in computer science.

Since then, though, as tech has gone up, a lot of the people have said, hey, CS is a great way to get in there.

I'm going to learn to code. I'm going to get an entry level job.

And it's only in the last couple of years we've seen those jobs decline. Why?

Well, of course, artificial intelligence, a lot of students coming out of school with that coveted computer science degree,

only to find out that either the internship or the entry level job is being done by a bot.

And that is discouraging a lot of people. And so for the first time in quite some time, all but one UC campus.

we'll get to that in a minute has seen a decline in computer science degrees and majors students

are just wary of and parents frankly spending all that time and money and effort to come out

and find out that your job at least your entry-level job is being done by a machine yeah well so i i

don't i don't know what they're teaching in computer science anymore but i would say if you

have a kid and you want this kid to be successful and be able to utilize what now seems to be the

main outside creating art and and writing your resume which anyone still i have not seen ai do

anything really spectacular with creative writing or just i just not yet it's just not yet it could

come um you know give your kid the old laptop any computer you've got tell them to install linux and

use an AI chat

thing to help them install it

so they'll understand, customize

it. And then once you understand

a system, which I doubt

is being taught in computer science

anymore.

It was supposed to be taught in high school.

Oh, please. They're just

showing you how to use the mouse.

Prove me wrong, educators.

It's not like

we understand. You took apart

a whole IBM PC

live on TV.

big deal no but you understand the controllers the do people even understand a hard to this

there used to be one of our uh one of our some one of the talent at talent at uh mevio who we

both know well of famous some semi-famous guy i was over at his house and he was having some

issues with his computer and i'm you know like a fixer and so i say well let's we gotta okay well

first thing we got to pull out this memory the ram he had to i had to he said and he you'd never

i've never seen a guy get so nervous because i'm pulling the ram out of his machine and it's like

am i gonna lose it no am i gonna lose anything am i all my day is everything gonna be it's the ram

He doesn't know what it is.

And I had tried to explain it to him, but it's the random access memory.

It's just, it doesn't do anything when the machine's off.

It's just, it's just, it's nothing.

You're removing my memory, my files, they're gone.

There's nothing there.

This is my point.

We have iPhones or smartphones in particular have obfuscated storage.

People only know storage is how many pictures can I put on it?

They're not thinking about anything else.

How many?

And it's sold that way.

well you want the 256 gigabytes you can put lots of pictures on it and lots of songs but they don't

understand storage or just all these these very basics no they don't know that it's unbelievable

they don't know the difference between random access memory and and and storage memory so there

i think outside of becoming of getting a vocation plumber electrician etc etc etc if you really want

to be in knowledge work and being able, I think there will be a huge opportunity for people who

understand a system to be able to create custom systems for any workplace, including a podcast.

That's kind of the point I'm making, is that this stuff can be used for great benefit for

productivity if you at least understand how systems work and you really can describe what you want

to get out of the other end now according to the ceo of microsoft ai no you're all dead you talk

about super intelligence most of your rivals talk about agi artificial general intelligence

explain the difference between agi and super intelligence i prefer the definition that

focuses first on what would it take to build a system that could achieve most of the tasks that

regular professional in a workplace goes about on a daily basis. Think of it as a professional grade

AGI. How close are we? I think that we're going to have a human level performance on most, if not

all professional tasks. So white collar work where you're sitting down at a computer, either being,

you know, a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person.

Most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.

And we can see this in software engineering.

Many software engineers report that they are now using AI-assisted coding

for the vast majority of their code production,

which means that their role has shifted now to this meta function

of debugging, scrutinizing, of doing the strategic stuff,

like architecting, etc., etc., putting things into production.

So it's a quite different relationship to the technology.

And that's happened in the last six months.

And I'm going to presume that if you have a law firm and you're uploading, you're putting contracts in and saying, summarize this, I'm going to presume that you are actually helping to add data to train these models on the next go around.

Well, the models aren't doing it themselves.

This is the thing that's overlooked here.

Yeah, okay, everyone's using the AI to do coding, you included.

but it's not like it's doing it on its own without you having anything to do with it you have to

you're telling it what to do and you know what what should come out all it's doing is increasing

your productivity it's not eliminating you haven't been eliminated no where you're you're still stuck

there listen i'm trying to eliminate myself here you can't it can't be done well but it's the same

thing with AGI they're talking about

oh this and that's going to replace no it's

not it's going to increase

productivity there's no doubt about that

I mean let's I mean when

Darren sent me the 18 pieces if he

had done those by hand

it would have taken a year well this is

this is an interesting example

because

one Darren has

eliminated 300

other prompters who just can't

cut it and every single

original artist

so yeah it's enhanced darren's productivity but you can't deny that other people have been

obviously just they are eliminated they're gone they're dead jim even nick the rat who's who did

so much of our art he was the the leaderboard leader still is he but he can't get something

in compete he can't compete so that's that's my point but this is like a carpenter that

you know when the first hammer was invented i mean come on the guy with the hammer is the guy

who's going to get all the work uh it's just the same thing it's like yeah this is true it's it

does people who learn to use the new tool will do better than people that have failed to move to

it's like when photoshop first showed up i mean the artists that use photoshop could be more

productive because they could work with the art directors and say i you know i like your art but

i think if the background was blue uh oh god i do the whole piece over again or no with photoshop

you touch this and that the whole background's blue all of a sudden just instantly yeah and so

that you if you're gonna ignore the tools yeah you're gonna be out of a job or or or if you just

can't get into the tool yeah well this is a this is a iq issue you're too dumb for ai

You're too dumb for AI.

I mean, or you don't want to, or you're stuck in the mud,

or you're just one of these people that just sucks,

which sounds like I should be that way, but I'm not.

No, but I think I'm crawling back a little bit.

I see great advantage in this.

I still think it will have to be decentralized,

and people will use open source models in different scenarios.

I don't see how the scaling, the hyperscalers, how they can make the money part work because they have to.

They can't.

Yeah, they have to satisfy everybody.

This is face reality.

This is not going to work.

Well, it will work on a decentralized at home or in a group basis, open source.

Yeah, I mean, it works as a tool that people are taking advantage of.

But in terms of a, it's hard to say.

There's got to be an analogy for this.

something like this has taken place before where you have something more an analog not an analogy

well okay how about this metropolitan fiber systems this is i think a good analog we had

the dot-com boom everyone's flipping out we need lots of bandwidth we need bandwidth bandwidth need

tons of bandwidth they like lay fiber all dark fiber all around the country and they go broke

Yeah, they did.

And the fiber is still there.

There's fiber all over the country.

But it got picked up.

It got picked up by other people.

Like, oh, look at this.

It scrounged your prices.

Yes.

So data centers with big machines everywhere.

I'm thinking 18 months down the road, Mr. AI, Microsoft AI CEO,

I'm going to go hang out at some data centers and pick me up some NVIDIA cards,

bring them home, and it'll be pretty cool.

That's what I see happening.

Of course.

No, that's actually not a bad scenario.

I think that as a predictive, I think you're on to something.

Well, I'm going to, I just haven't had time,

but I'm going to load up that QEN3-TTS model,

which is, for everything I can tell from the demos,

better than 11 labs at sampling my own voice.

Yeah, you should be saying that, yeah.

I'm going to get it done.

well that's a perfect example

11 labs is the one I actually

spend money on

and it's not cheap

before you know

burning tokens

that's another

good one

magic money

this is like a stripper operation

it's like a topless bar

where you go and you get

tokens for the girls

or fake money

tokens or stripper money

yes and i love apple who i think they're stupid over there they still want to incorporate

ai and make it make siri helpful then you know they just came out with an announcement oh well

we don't has it been two years now they've been saying oh we're going to put it in the next

release the next release the next release and i read this report from bloomberg uh the company

is now working to spread the new capabilities out over future versions, possibly postponing

at least some features until at least iOS 26.5 or iOS 27, whenever those are due.

I mean, here's the line.

Testing has uncovered problems with the software, including issues with Siri properly processing

queries, taking too long to handle requests, and accuracy issues.

Well, yeah, that's AI.

That's what AI is.

takes too long sometimes has inaccuracy issues are they going to try and make this thing perfect

i think that's nuts if they think that's going to happen i i think that's exactly what they're

doing i think it's a mistake so anyway i'm i'm a little more bullish on billable hours type jobs

you know like paralegals i'll talk to rob about it the constitutional lawyer it seems to me that

once just like see the beauty about code is if you make a mistake in code the code doesn't run

that's the beauty of it syntax is everything so that's a very defined language skill that

these models have when it comes to legality and i don't know i think you can do certain

contracts and stuff it seems like that would be possible to do you don't think yeah well

contracts are all boilerplate so it shouldn't be that hard yeah right so but that will reduce

someone's job somewhere i think that's what they're saying entry level white collar jobs

i am so happy i'm a podcaster right now can you imagine

yeah yeah i can imagine yeah i'm very happy anyway npr jumps on the bandwagon and

they're still talking about the the obvious problem of people using their chat bot for

emotional support in the u.s 90 of schools say they're concerned about the mental health effects

of students online lives nearly half report daily incidents of digital harm and over 60 percent

say students are turning to emotional support often before reaching out to a person that's

according to new data from linewise a company that tracks student mental health harrison parker is

the vice president of that group they are becoming ai imaginary friend for these kids and what

started out as curiosity for them is really increased or changed into something far more

concerning in the uk that number jumps to 70 and in australia nearly three in four schools say tech

is moving faster than their ability

to respond. Windsor Johnston,

NPR News.

What does that even mean?

How's it moving faster? Where's it going?

Down the tube.

It's moving faster than

they can respond. What is that?

That's stupid. What does

it mean? I don't know. It's NPR.

What does NPR even mean anymore?

So according to CNBC,

AI companies,

Anthropic and Meta, this

will irk you, are hiring social

media creators to post sponsored content on apps like facebook instagram youtube and linkedin and

paying said creators between four hundred thousand and six hundred thousand dollars for long-term

partnerships spanning several months i love ai don't you john wow don't you love ai don't you

think anthropic is great huh come on come on yeah yeah this reminds me of the super bowl commercials

going back to that earlier thing where they had these anthropic and i guess chet the chet

commercials that were battling it they were coke and pepsi okay hold on we're better than you are

no you suck hold on hold on super bowl commercials uh the last time we had a like a category in super

bowl we had crypto we had ftx and we had crypto.com and what happened blow up yeah they all

before that super bowl pets.com groceries.com what happened after that yeah crept out so this

would you think for spell uh for spell for spell that's a dutchism i can't believe i said that

wow i never heard of it for for spelling is the dutch i don't know what happened i was talking

to my daughter today might have been that conversation would um what's the word i'm

looking for for forespell well now you got forespell stuck in my head foretell foretell

i like forespell it would i like forespell i think it's a cool it's a cool phrase we're

gonna keep word or whatever it is that would mean doom is on the way for at least some companies

doom is obviously on the way yeah yeah i mean we all know this is doom's on the way it's going to

take the whole market with it yeah the whole economy nightmare the whole economy it's going

to happen the way i see it i'm trying to think you know they would like to the democrats are

doing so back to what our theme is for today's show the democrats are doing so well with the

with the midterms that you know what an old trick is to crash the economy before an election

and and then the president gets blamed but you can't do you can't take a chance you can't why

take a chance you don't want to take a chance when things are going so well and you already

You know, you're going to kick ass.

And so what's going to happen is that they're going to I think the Democrats will will do their thing and take over the House and start to want to impeach Trump a couple more times.

And then the then there'll be a crash right afterwards.

It'll be blamed on the Democrats, but it won't make any difference.

The because there's a fear that the Democrats could get blamed for a crash.

I mean, they can't take a chance.

So there's not we're going to have a good economy until the midterms.

and then it's ai is going to bring the whole thing down well i like that prediction um it's a

terrible prediction i brought something like this up with horowitz and he was not happy i like it

as a prediction um npr is already working hard for the democrat party and focusing very much

on affordability uh and i have a couple of short clips and now we are going to turn to another big

issue that voters are clearly thinking about right now, the economy. Mara, how are these voters,

these are voters who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024, how are they feeling

about the economy right now? I would say they're feeling pretty bad. I mean, some of them mentioned

some good things like gas prices going down, but they talked about groceries and health care and

housing being too expensive. One woman said the state of the economy sucks. Everything is spiraling

out of control, the cost of living, layoffs, businesses are closing. It was a pretty dire

view. I think they are willing to give Trump some time to fix it. There was a big debate about

whether it was his economy, whether he was at fault or was it still Biden's fault. But I think

that nothing in our focus group diverged from national polling, which shows that people are

very, very sour on the economy. So there's the big question. Was it is it Trump's economy or Biden's

economy. So are these, again, these are voters who voted for Donald Trump in 2024, and they're

feeling more anxious after he's taken office. Are they blaming him for that? Well, I think there's

been a debate about how much to blame Trump for this. Some people said tariffs were raising prices.

Other people said it's Biden's fault. That certainly is Trump's message. And these voters

are hearing it a lot based on the news sources that they consume. But that's going to be the

big battle in the midterms to say whether this is trump's economy or biden's economy and this is

from the npr politics podcast one more one of my takeaways was how much all these things get

conflated the economy immigration foreign policy kind of adds up to chaos and anxiety for voters

here's one voter named nancy who explained how all this makes her feel well i like a few of his

policies and things he's done the issues i have are the big ones with things like tariffs you

know, financial impact on our economy, the way he's handling the whole ICE thing, trying

to start wars everywhere, Venezuela, trying to take over Greenland, everything like that.

This is a very informed voter.

The whole ICE thing, he's taking over Greenland.

You know, financial impact on our economy, the way he's handling the whole ICE thing,

trying to start wars everywhere, Venezuela, trying to take over Greenland.

Starting wars.

What is she consuming?

She's a Republican, I guess?

No, I don't think so.

And everything like that, it's just so chaotic that all the bad stuff just kind of eliminates the good.

That's so interesting.

The chaos thing, it feels like the most predictable part of a Trump presidency.

I mean, we saw this already in four years of Trump's first term.

Are these voters surprised by that level of uncertainty?

We didn't ask them if they were surprised.

They just don't like it.

OK.

I mean, what was that all about?

Let's listen to that.

If they were surprised, they just don't like it.

i'm faking gay okay i mean they they do seem like voters though who considering they supported

trump in 2024 would be receptive to his spin on some of the economics just because he voted for

trump doesn't mean you like every single thing about him and that's what these voters were

telling us that they like i guess i'm just trying to drill down on why why are there no rose rose

colored glasses the way that president trump has been trying to push like there are positives that

you can find in the economy right now. Record stock market. I feel like you can't eat GDP.

This is about prices, not the rate of inflation. This is about everyday, the people's everyday

lives. And even though, yes, the stock market is good, GDP is good, but they're having to pay more,

as they told us, for housing, health care, groceries. Yeah, groceries came up a lot. That

was something that people were mentioned over and over again, is that groceries still remain too

high they saw those prices take up during covid and they really have not seen them meaningfully

go down for the exception of eggs now instead of npr explaining how inflation works they just go

along and say well they haven't seen prices come down except for eggs prices why aren't prices

coming down john c devorek will explain nothing to well it's not much to explain a harp on this

and somebody sent me a note complaining about my harping no i think it's good harping it's it

People need to hear it.

Inflation is cumulative.

It doesn't go down.

If you have a 2% inflation rate, that means things continue to grow at a percentage at 2%.

And it gets higher and higher and higher, and it doesn't back off.

I mean, the egg thing is an anomaly because that had to do with the culling of the chickens because of bird flu.

It's got nothing to do with anything.

So egg prices just shouldn't even be taken into account.

Energy prices are the only things that will go up and down a bit, and it does have an overall effect because, you know, if it costs less to move stuff around, then you can sell it for less money.

And so energy prices are the only thing that you can expect to come down and maybe have some minor influence.

But when it comes to the basic price of groceries, whatever you're paying today is what you're going to be paying, generally speaking, with very little.

Well, it's not going to start deflating because if you have a deflation economy, which is what everyone seems to want, you go into a deflationary economy.

You basically break the back of the economy because nobody buys anything during a deflation period.

Because why should I buy today when it'll be cheaper tomorrow?

So they just hold on to their money.

Everything collapses.

So you just stuck with the situation the way it is and bitching and moaning about it doesn't help.

I think the president did himself no favors by saying, I'll bring prices down.

he was pretty pretty bold about the generic i'll bring prices down bit well he was also like when

we get into the uh i have some clips here on uh on uh what who's this about the hearings that we

had oh goodness gracious you know bondy i got three clips i curse youtube tv for putting c-span

on i curse you well i have you know i tried to figure out so but pam bondy goes this is a

classic example of the mistakes the administration are making uh is making that will affect the

midterms yes and bondy is the best example of it but so i got these three bbc clips which i think

because they have an analyst come in and who's obviously you know biased against trump but i

have to agree with everything he says about bondy she gets into a she goes into front of congress

and they she gets into a big battle with everybody because she won't answer questions to the

democrats and the democrats are a-holes you're a failed lawyer i mean okay it's ridiculous yeah

the failed lawyer thing raskin was funny though jamie raskin's a dick and he's a communist and

He's the worst person in Congress, and she goes after it with him.

But, again, do you want to play these clips?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Of course, it's great.

This is the BBC report on the hearings.

I mean, I could have gone and gotten clips.

No, everyone's doing that.

Yeah, no, this analysis is better.

Then you'd be Megyn Kelly.

Oh, look at what I did.

Clip me, clip me.

Put it on social media.

Turning now to the tense scenes on Capitol Hill today, as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi faced

heavy scrutiny from a congressional panel about her handling of the Epstein files. In often

combative exchanges, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee accused the Justice Department

of an active cover-up. The lawmakers criticized the slow release of documents and the choice to

censor names of alleged co-conspirators over those of victims. Here's one particularly

heated exchange between Pam Bondi and Republican Congressman Thomas Massey.

My position is any victim who comes forward, of course, we would love to hear from them.

1-800-CALL-FBI. Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years? Did you talk about Epstein?

I am reclaiming my time. I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland because this is bigger than

Watergate, this goes over four administrations. You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's go back

to Obama. Let's go back to George Bush. This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible

for this portion of it. Now, Pam Bondi admitted in a letter to federal judges this week that

mistakes were made in the Epstein case. But at Wednesday's congressional hearing, the attorney

general defended her department's strategy, saying hundreds of lawyers worked on a compressed

timeline to review millions of pages, and that any disclosure of victims' identities were

inadvertent. Take a listen. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the Epstein survivors

who are here today. I'm a career prosecutor, and despite what the ranking member said,

I have spent my entire career fighting for victims, and I will continue to do so.

I am deeply sorry for what any victim, any victim has been through, especially as a result of that

monster. The Department of Justice is committed to holding criminals accountable to the fullest

extent of the law. I still would like a news outlet to give me a definition of victim.

You know, were you a victim because you were underage? Were you a victim because you got

sucked up into something you should have stayed away with? Stayed away from? You know,

Just throw out victims and survivors, and I'd like to know a little bit more.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with you on this.

It's vague.

It's very vague.

The whole thing is very vague.

And so they bring this guy on to talk about—

Let me just add to that.

Is there a victim who was truly underage and sexually abused by Epstein or any of the co-conspirators?

If so, why can't they speak?

Why are they not out there speaking about it?

this is what i don't understand i don't understand i i it seems like that would be a good thing to do

tell us what happened you know where's this where's the 60 minutes interview it seems like

it feels like something's missing here from the equation if it is what we're told there's something

missing yeah but i think there's a lot missing yeah and of course you see a video that guy sent

this morning that floated over this that it was a song presented the history of epstein based in

in a song form oh the video yeah i've seen that where they got everybody tied up in one big giant

ball it's dynamite it's dynamite that's that's worth the 1.3 trillion dollar investment right

there so so they bring this guy and i have to agree with this guy and his analysis of bond i

I mean, of course, the two of us, I think you, I think, think Bondi's a doofus.

She's not talented and she's combative and she doesn't present well.

She's not well-spoken and her argument's weak and she snaps and she doesn't do anything.

She's a do-nothing.

And it's almost as though they're making the public suffer because Matt Gaetz got kicked out.

He was the original choice who would have probably been an interesting attorney general, I think.

But they kicked him out, and he didn't even get back into Congress, and they're making us suffer.

Well, I mean, the correct way to handle a hostile Congress interrogation is not this way.

you want to be cool you want to have sharp like that's why rubio is so good yes yes and rubio has

very sharp very fast good answers uh parades like no one else but bondi just goes you're a you're a

fake failed lawyer you don't care about you don't care about people killed by illegal immigrants

like okay you're mixing apples with oranges i understand it was the the it should have been

about ICE

and DHS. I believe that's what

the session was for,

but it obviously devolved into

Epstein. And, you know, just

said that, well, you don't care that a sinning

congresswoman took money from Epstein.

You don't care that you took money

from Epstein, Ro Khanna, Rohanna.

You know, it's like, that's not,

that's what they call

bull crap. No, she's not

doing a good job, no.

But then it gets compounded

as we listen to this analyst

who has a lot to say. Let's speak about that congressional hearing today with Ankush Kordori,

senior writer for Political Magazine and a former federal prosecutor at the Department

of Justice. It's good to have you back with us on the program today.

What do you think we learned, if anything, from the hearing today?

We learned nothing, except we learned a little bit more for people who already didn't know about

the professionalism or utter lack thereof of the top law enforcement official in our country.

i thought let me put it this way if you saw someone acting like she did today um like at

the table over at a restaurant if you were out to dinner um you would ask yourself is this person

okay and you'd probably ask management to escort them from the restaurant this is now the person

who is our attorney general i thought it was an embarrassment to her the department and frankly

our country on their international stage also why isn't anyone asking like the people who are on in

the emails talking about pizza and jerky you know that's something i'd like to understand what do

you really put jerky in the in the freezer could you explain that to me this is what i'm interested

in if anything no there's none of that no one asked you're never gonna get any of that that's

that's verboten yeah okay so onward that was sorry sorry was you're still in clip two or

we're on to the three is lined up and good to go in my linux play out system good you know if you

look at the exchanges there there were certainly plenty of shouting going back and forth with

democrats as well so i mean what was the point for democrats here what is this about you know

viral clips that they can post online as well well look yeah i mean look part of the part of

these hearings always have a performative element to them unfortunately in this day and age yeah i

think many members are focused on getting you know bites that they can post to their social

media. But I kind of, you know, yeah, there were going back and forth with Democrats,

but she wasn't answering their questions. And she was yelling at them and she was trying to

change the subject. She was filibustering endless non sequiturs. So, like, this was her fault.

The point that she made a few times there is why did you not ask these questions of Merrick Garland,

who was the attorney general under Joe Biden? And that, again, is a point that the Trump

administration and many of President Trump's allies have made, that Democrats are taking

advantage of the Epstein files to try to detract from the administration. What do you make of that

argument? Yeah, it's the logic of a five-year-old. This administration came into office promising

to release this material. They then spent all year last year hemming-hawing, backtracking,

undertaking really disgusting efforts to mislead the public, including spending two days with

Ghislaine Maxwell as if she's not a monster. And so, you know, then we had Pam Bondi with the

binders and the client list is on my desk i mean they created this mess um so yes there is an

element of uh politics on the side of the democrats for sure i'm not i was not a fan of this law i

didn't want it to pass so don't get me wrong on that but um the state of affairs in our country

right now is a function of the fact that the president his vice president his fbi director

and until recently deputy fbi director spent years spitting up these conspiracy theories so it's kind

of nuts for her of all people to like try to make this someone else's problem she is the one

who did multiple fox interviews next last year hyping this up the binders more is coming the

client list yada yada yada yada yada yada well he said yada yada yada well the point i think he made

which i agree with is that she brought this on herself she had to oh that's on my desk oh here's

the binders here's this oh yeah she's terrible yes i completely agree with that that was an idiotic

move that that that's really that's what screwed it all up yeah it's her yeah she's gotta go i have

a couple of um clips about this what what hmm what well my browser's not working right well are you

using bravo no i'm i'm using hbo this is a prime minister's question time because of course what's

happening in the eu and the uk is much more interesting as it pertains to the epstein files

yes and keir starmer is uh under a lot of uh scrutiny and stress mainly because and you know

they all they talk about is well you knew he was a you know he was a sex trafficker you knew all

this how about the fact that he was leaking really sensitive information about a 500

billion euro bailout during 2008 five minutes after he found out devaluation of the pound

five minutes after he found out telling epstein that i mean think of think about the people who

were in on that gambit if you i mean when it comes to foreign exchange if you know there's a big bail

out coming and it's secret place your bets oh yeah no it's easy money and if epstein knew it

then he probably called all of his buddies that's an outrage anyway here's prime minister's question

times mr speaker i asked the prime minister a very specific question did he know that mandelson

had continued his friendship with Epstein after the conviction. He says if he knew then what he

knows now, but he did know. In January 2024, a journalist from the Financial Times informed the

Prime Minister that Mandelson had stayed in Epstein's house even after that conviction for

child prostitution. So did the Prime Minister conveniently forget this fact, or did he decide

It was a risk worth taking.

Mr Speaker, as the House would expect, we went through a process.

There was a due diligence exercise and then there was security vetting by the security services.

What was not known was the depth, the sheer depth and extent of the relationship.

He lied about that to everyone for years.

A new information was published in September

showing the relationship was materially different

to what we'd been led to believe.

When the new information came to light, I sacked him.

Oh, yes, I sacked him.

You already knew.

And now the guys working for Starmer are bailing.

The rats are leaving the ship.

It's the second high-profile exit from Keir Starmer's entourage in as many days.

Tim Allen, the UK Prime Minister's communications chief,

said he was standing down to make way for a new team to be built at No. 10 Downing Street.

It's part of the fallout over Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson

as ambassador to the United States,

despite knowing Mandelson had maintained links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On Sunday, Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, quit.

In a statement, McSweeney said he took responsibility for pushing the appointment of Mandelson.

It was interpreted in the British press as a move to buy the Prime Minister more time.

Starmer, though, is still facing calls to step down, including from the leader of Scotland's Labour Party.

Meanwhile, Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, accused him of being unable to run his government.

The prime minister is the architect of his own misfortunes. Right now we have a government

that's focusing purely on its own internal psychodrama. Enough of that. It is time for

them to get a grip and start governing the country.

Controversy around Peter Mandelson reignited after a new batch of files related to Jeffrey

Epstein were released just over a week ago in the United States. Documents appeared to

indicate Mandelson had leaked sensitive information to Epstein while he was a government

minister. There were also records of payments from Epstein to accounts linked to the British

politician or his partner. Keir Starmer sacked the US ambassador in September, but the latest

revelations prompted Mandelson to resign from the Labour Party and the House of Lords while

police are investigating him for potential misconduct in public office. On Monday, a

spokesperson for Keir Starmer said he was focused on getting the job done and had no plans to step

aside that mandelson man they'd only really the bbc doesn't even say it yeah he was sensitive

information that was world shattering information then then well you know hey uh if you're gonna

send 75 000 to my my husband my partner uh just say it's a loan so it'll be no tax implication

for him like come on the corruption by the by

save myself see you're better than i am by the by

annoying itself by the way of jesus um i don't think mandel mandelson is long for this world

there's there's got to be more there's got to be a lot more and nobody wants anyone snooping around

mandelson so you know there's there's also the strange thing i put in the i think it was in the

newsletter i mentioned is the gay angle all of a sudden shows up yeah with this with this russian

guy who's yeah bill gates and he's wants to meet some boys or something and they're kind of going

back and forth some emails that they discovered and he wants to meet kevin spacey who is you know

Because Kevin knows all the young boys.

Yeah, you know, it's just the whole thing is like, it's tawdry and all kinds of dimensionally tawdry.

Yes, tawdry.

I like that.

It's tawdry.

That's a very good term, tawdry.

Gordon Brown comes out trying to give some kind of defense for Starman.

Another one of them.

Another great guy.

Well, he has clearly said it was the wrong decision, and it was the wrong decision.

Just as I made a mistake, he made a mistake.

But equally, I think you've got to say of Keir Starmer that there's very few people—

What was Gordon Brown's mistake?

I don't know. I don't remember.

Something.

He made a mistake.

Besides breaking the Bank of England.

Besides that, yeah.

Minor, minor mistake.

A mistake. He made a mistake.

But equally, I think you've got to say of Keir Starmer that there's very few people

that you can say have got the same amount of integrity as Keir Starmer has.

He was director of public prosecutions, did a brilliant job.

He was in charge of prosecutions.

That is the guy who should absolutely know

there was not a good idea to put Mandelson in,

or maybe the most brilliant idea ever.

Director of public prosecutions, did a brilliant job.

He's a serious man who wants to do the right thing in British politics.

If he made a mistake, he owns up to it.

But I think the question now for Keir Starmer is, is he prepared and will he be prepared to bring in the reforms that are necessary to end these abuses?

What we're dealing with is—

What reforms are you going to bring in to end these abuses?

What is he talking about, reforms?

The reforms that are necessary to end these abuses.

What we're dealing with is the abuse of power.

we're dealing with the systematic abuse of power by lobbyists by people who are corrupt

by people who don't give by politicians and their cronies gordon brown information when they're

asked to disclose information we're dealing with a lack of transparency in the system

all these things and by the way i did a report for oh by the way oh let this be done and this

is the report that should be you see how bad it sounds when when you hear someone say it it sounds

like that says he's lying now by the way it's not a good term we're dealing with a lack of

transparency in the system all these things and by the way i did a report for care recommending

all that this be done and this is the report that should be taken up there are four areas where we

need to make major reforms they could be done within weeks with the support of members of

parliament in the house of commons and i believe it would be possible we could start to clean up

the system from tomorrow but it's got to be done you know what this has created is a complete

on the heels of covid obviously a complete and total

lack of trust for government across the board every country everywhere no one no one trusts

government anymore not even those the nut jobs protesting in minneapolis and i don't know if if

Can any country recover from that?

What are the historical analogs to this?

Well, the history of the United States, I think, is part of it.

Yeah, and what do we wind up in?

In the 1800s, we had a bunch of doofuses running things.

And what happened?

What happened when the...

You just come out of it somehow.

I was looking for more of a historian angle there.

Well, that's the best I can do.

I had hoped for more.

Well, yeah, you can hope all you want.

Yeah, obviously.

And then we have, I was explaining to someone about the Olympics, about the IOC.

I said, what's the IOC?

The International Olympic Committee.

And they have all these country committees.

What is it?

I said, it's the most corrupt organization.

Maybe, well, there's a couple that would rival it.

Well, it's not the most, there's plenty of corrupt corporations.

But what you do is you leave politics and then you go to the IOC.

Every IOC of every country is filled with former politicians and they get paid for being part of the board and going on the board.

And they all have their buddies with big, you know, hey, I see advertising on the Olympics.

I don't know about you.

You know, it's a huge boondoggle, especially the Summer Olympics.

We got to build a stadium and, you know, and that's going to bankrupt the country.

and then some dude will come in and buy it for a team that he just bought.

It's a mess.

But, oh, don't worry.

We'll take care of you.

The city's Olympic organizing committee, L.A. 28, is standing by its chairman, Casey Wasserman.

Wasserman's name is in the latest batch of Epstein files.

He traveled on Epstein's private jet once and later exchanged racy emails with Epstein conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Well, today, L.A. 28's executive board issuing a statement saying they've reviewed the situation and Wasserman fully cooperated.

They say his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what is publicly known.

And given Wasserman's strong leadership, he will be staying on as chairman of L.A. 28.

Of course. Why not? I'm sure there'll be some there'll be some hotties at the Olympics this year.

Just let him let him do his thing.

Yeah, it's a good one.

It's complete, complete loss of trust, which for me, it already happened.

And someone pointed out, and that was a good point, that we they keep reminding us, hey, man, the lockdowns happened under Trump.

Yes, absolutely.

Trump got bamboozled, too.

And still can't really admit that the vaccines were not a good idea.

Which is, I think, still very disappointing.

Yeah, but he likes the idea that this warp speed, you know, he was responsible for it happening faster than ever.

And he's just kind of can't bring himself to think we were completely, he was bamboozled is the right word.

And by the way, where was the first lockdown?

By the way.

You said by the way.

Where was the first lockdown?

China?

No, it was San Francisco.

Oh, yes.

um yes and you have to continue to hound me so i'm two to nothing on the on this and i'll say

this about the lockdowns um trump didn't lock down anything it was burks who went to every

single state all the governors and convinced the governors to do it that's why i don't like abbott

that's how that's how that went down

that was that was the uh that was the the back channel that was very successful

and of course uh president trump could and you liked burks when she first showed up first two

weeks first two weeks yeah i mean you like saying that burks fan you like saying that and uh and but

but after two weeks i think we very clearly saw what was going on and we may have saved lives

well we saw what was going on i think it was triggered personally at least what triggered me

i've thought about this you know why were we so caught up in this the way we were is because of

that french nobel prize winner yeah yeah looked at the genome at the map of the thing and said

this is bullcrap this thing is obviously created in a lab and here's the reasons why and he says

and what's this hiv thing doing in here it doesn't make any sense he says don't worry about it it'll

just revert which it did it has reverted just like he said today's covid is nothing like the

original it's reverted back to a common cold flu or flu yeah i think one or two unfortunately we

still have blowback um this is your typical report this is uh also from ktla the death of

dawson's creek actor james vanderbeek comes after he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer

His passing is renewing concern about a disease that's rising among younger adults.

These are young men still in the primes of their career, and now we lost them.

According to the American Cancer Society, it's now the leading cause of cancer deaths in Americans under 50.

About one in five new cases is diagnosed in someone under 55.

Americans, we don't like to talk about the health of our butts.

We don't.

And so there's a certain shame and embarrassment surrounding that.

Gustavo says he ignored his doctor's recommendation to get screened at 45

until a reminder during a physical pushed him to finally schedule a colonoscopy.

And it said that they found three polyps.

If I had even waited months more, they found three of them.

How much bigger could they have been?

Polyps can develop into cancer if left untreated.

Doctors say that's why screenings are so important.

If you can get it early, then you can completely eradicate it and you will have no further problems.

If it's later stage, it could be widespread to other organs at the time you're diagnosed.

Researchers are still working to understand exactly why cases are increasing in younger people.

But doctors say whatever the cause, the solution starts with awareness.

What could the cause be?

Yeah, gee, it seems that this is something new.

wonder why i have no idea what could have changed was he an actor or somebody who was forced to get

the vaccine to work oh man there's going to be such as so many openings in hollywood i hate to

say it but yeah meanwhile the fda just refused moderna's application for an mrna flu vaccine

praise god someone someone got smart over there thank you maybe rfk jr uh the one that

Oh, did you know this is just a, it's just a momentary lapse.

This will go back into full gear toward the other, in the other direction.

You're so cynical.

No, I'm not cynical.

I'm a realist.

No, stop with your realist.

You're not always right.

Not always.

I mean, sometimes.

If you see about this stuff, I'm pretty, pretty on the money.

the uh the glp-1 the uh i'm still waiting for it to solve erectile dysfunction please stop

sending me articles about how it enlarges the penis it's not the same thing okay people keep

sending me this you were right no it's then when they say it solves erectile dysfunction then i

will be right um it's coming it's it's coming but right now one of the new side they have to

roll this stuff out it this marketing 101 you don't throw everything at the at the side of the

wall right away you do one gob at a time and then when that catches on and you pick up some more of

the market share then you throw another thing out there and another thing your thing is just

happens to be low on the list it's going to be at the bottom it's going to be at the end it'll be

the closing argument the hail mary it won't be a hail mary at the time it'll be the how much more

What can we squeeze out of it?

Squeeze.

What's the last drop we can get out of this bull crap?

One of the side effects, a very high profile side effect, comes to us from Robbie Williams, British pop singer.

Oh, yeah.

I've always liked Robbie Williams.

I've always liked his stuff.

Famous.

In the UK.

He was never really that big in the States.

No, but he was famous in the big.

Big, big.

We just outsold the Beatles, I guess, in the UK, whatever that means, or had more number one hits or something.

He came out and said he was diagnosed with a 17th century pirate disease as a side effect.

Scurvy?

Yes, scurvy, exactly.

But it's a vitamin C deficiency.

It's no big deal.

But it sounds cool when you say Ozempic will give you scurvy.

it's just yeah i guess yeah i will give you scurvy yeah scurvy

scurvy i tell you scurvy it's pretty bad i love scurvy it's great that's great i wanted to get

these clips out of the way this is a you know as the nancy guthrie thing was dominating the news

except on ms now can i just can i just stop you for a second what do you what do you think happened

Do you think that it was an illegal that killed her?

At this point, yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

I think that's a reasonable assessment.

What was the other one we were looking at?

Oh, the pregnant astronaut.

Do we have any more updates on that?

No, not yet, but it's coming.

It's coming.

She's going to have a baby, and we'll know when that happens.

We'll do the math.

Mimi says that maybe at an offbeat thing,

she was getting sick at the Guthrie stuff.

Yeah.

And she says, I think she was the leader of a massive Mexican drug cartel.

Okay, all right.

The one I like is her husband worked for Clinton,

and she knew where the bodies were buried, so they had to get rid of her.

I mean, there are people who I know and love

and have been corresponding with on email for a long time

who are like, this is all set up.

This is all, you know, it's just like, no, it's going to be a lot easier than that.

Epstein used your house.

yeah what is that coming yeah oh no of course of course all of that and that's the problem when

people lose trust in their government they go nuts then every everything is a conspiracy

and a lot of it is but there's a lot of conspiracies actual conspiracies

yeah it turns out yes so well that was being covered to excess yes the the canadian trans

shooter oh yeah it's pretty much dropped by the american media and i think about that can't talk

about that i think it was a cover-up because you own another you can just see it in the editorial

rooms do we have to bring this another trans shooter this is getting tiresome and so here

we go the bbc had a nice report here we go canada reels from one of the worst mass shootings in its

history, police named the suspect as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar. Eight people were killed and

25 people injured in the attacks at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a private home.

It happened in the westernmost province of British Columbia in the remote town of Tumbler Ridge

at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Six of the victims were killed at the town's secondary

school. One died on their way to the hospital. Another two were found in a nearby house.

In all, 25 other people were injured, and police say the body of the suspected shooter was found at the school.

Police say they don't yet have a motive, and they gave this update to reporters.

On February 10th at approximately 1.20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time at Tumbler Ridge,

RCMP received a report of an active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

A police-initiated public alert, PIPA, was issued as officers responded.

Police from Tabula Ridge RCMP and surrounding detachments responded immediately,

with members from the local detachment arriving within two minutes of the initial call.

Upon arrival, there was active gunfire, and as officers approached the school, rounds were fired in their direction.

Officers entered the school to locate the threat.

Within minutes, an individual confirmed to be the shooter was located deceased,

with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

the suspect has been identified as 18 year old jesse van rootslar who is a resident of tumblr

ridge two firearms a long gun and a modified handgun were recovered by responding officers

determining the origin of these firearms and what role they played in the shootings remains

a significant part of the active and ongoing investigation yeah what role they played the

people or the guns the guns and the guns were the role they played was they shot people

I saw a post, who knows if it's true, that a lot of the kids who were killed also seemed to be somewhat alternatively dressed and perhaps trans as well.

Did you see any of that?

No, I have not seen any evidence of that.

The whole thing is horrible and so predictable.

So predictable.

and and i guess they there would had already been problems at that home and they went at home and

they removed guns is canada big on guns it's a mining town maybe that's it yeah well here we go

with part two the second this is all explained in these clips good good our north america correspondent

netta taufik is following this story for us today netta it is good to see you the press conference

that police delivered gave us some more details about the suspect tell us about what we know

Yeah, that's right. You know, police say that Jesse Van Rootselaar is somebody who was known

to them. In fact, that they had visited the family home several times over the last few years

for mental health reasons. They say, in fact, that they had actually taken Jesse Van Rootselaar

in for evaluation and assessment on a number of occasions. And that also firearms in that home

had been seized under a criminal code, that they were able to do that until the lawful owner of

those firearms petitioned the courts to have those returned. Remember, Sumi, the suspect had not only

a modified handgun, but a long gun in these attacks there in Tumbler Ridge. And what we also heard

from police was that this 18-year-old suspect is someone who dropped out of Tumbler Ridge

secondary school four years ago. And that six years ago, Jesse Van Rootseller, who was born a

biological male, began to transition and identify as a female. So quite a lot more detail on the

suspect. But as far as motive, they say that they aren't able to piece that together yet,

less than 24 hours after this attack did you do the math on that yeah hit me again with that six

years he's 18 six years ago he began to transition he was 12 yeah now he had a 12 year old prepubescent

kid 12 year old you know and and this this is pretty interesting so you have and now he's got

trouble he's got problems and so and he dropped out of school uh four years earlier at 14 so he'd

stop going to school at the age of 14 which is what eighth grade i guess i don't know so anyway

well all right well um all right i'll have a comment after this third clip and what have

police said about the timeline of the attack well look they say that jesse van root seller started

at the family home where she allegedly killed her mother and stepbrother.

And then from there, they say that the suspect then targeted the school.

Now, we heard authorities saying that they were on the scene within minutes,

but they did say that they heard gunfire when they arrived

and that the suspect did direct fire at officers on the scene.

There, they said that they found six people dead in the school, a female teacher, along with five students from the ages of 12 to 13.

And all of that in a matter of minutes.

Of course, we know that there are 25 others who were injured, Sumi.

Those two of those people were airlifted to hospital, others still fighting for their lives in hospital as we speak.

So for this small community, it really is one of the worst mass shootings, of course, in Canada's history.

But it is a profound loss for this small, quiet community itself.

I need to get rid of all the guns in Canada.

You know, the Canadians are freaky about guns anyway.

But you'd think this would be this lead story, I'd think, if I was running one of the networks.

But the lead story has been the Nancy Guthrie stuff.

Well, of course.

Which is providing no information whatsoever.

However, of course, they know.

Oh, I mean, they bring they put people out there.

They stand up.

They do a segment that last 10 minutes.

They tell us nothing.

And meanwhile, this story is completely dropped.

Well, of course, because everyone is complicit.

The media is complicit.

The therapists are complicit.

The plastic surgeons are complicit.

And sadly, sadly, parents have been.

we have a friend um a younger couple which means in their mid-40s and she was a therapist she's

still a therapist she doesn't practice anymore she was a therapist in louisiana and she would

advertise uh christian therapists uh pretty much everything but not saying no lgbtq

uh and she said parents would bring their kids and they'll be i just want my daughter my son

to be happy they all kept reciting the same thing i'd rather have a daughter who's happy

than a dead son or a son who's happy the other way around well no but it was it goes both ways

yeah it goes both ways right and that was the psychological operation and these parents

you know now that we have the first lawsuit the two million dollar loss i think it was new york

Which, by the way, there you go, by the way, 3-0.

Oh, my God, that's three.

Three to nothing.

Three zip.

I feel so bad for myself.

God, me too.

So this $2 million lawsuit, I think, is super low.

Yes, I agree.

Because you have sterilization.

Most people don't.

Now it's turning out you can never in your entire life,

after you get these treatments when you're like 12, 13, 14,

you can never have an orgasm.

No, no, all of that's gone.

You can't have a natural life.

You can't reproduce.

There's all these things.

And $2 million is nothing when people get a clue

when these lawyers finally, you know, the good lawyers,

the top guys get a hold of this.

You're talking 20, 30, 40, 50 million.

And how about the news doctors who are all telling us that,

well you know you can these blockers they're just temporary when you stop them then everything goes

back to normal no lie that's a lie these people should be held lots of people should be held

accountable but i feel the the worst for the parents who just wanted their kid to be happy

you do a lot for your kid to be happy and if you're told over and over remember i got the uh the books

uh my daughter wants to be a boy what do i do and i bought all those books that were being

a bunch of them and and the book was very little about the kid all about how do you deal with the

school how do you deal with with other parents how do you deal with your family nothing about

the kid i guess we just jack him up with ssris ah it's so so so sad so sad here's uh i just got a

short uh no it's not even short a clip from news nation because i went looking on uh on youtube

Give me some reports about this in America. None, except your typical News Nation report.

But there were some valid points in here.

There was a Canadian school shooting yesterday.

The school shooter killed nine and injured at least 25 before killing themselves.

I say themselves because the shooter's gender is the issue here.

The shooter is transgender, man to woman.

And Canada is so woke. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police at one point referred to him, now her, as the gun person.

It's noteworthy that the police seem awfully concerned with respecting the shooter's preferred pronouns.

We identified the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.

I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately, the information that I have, approximately six years ago began to transition to female and identified as female both socially and publicly.

In Canada, it is illegal to misgender someone. The police should be careful.

you know and thinking about why it doesn't get any play for the same for the exact same reason

that they play up the two seconds erroneous obama ape video versus the hey wait a minute

these voting machines and the vote counting machines seem to be pretty bogus and all things

you told us aren't true is i think the democrat party and they're i forget they're just politicians

But the, you know, the Schumers of the world and the the big donors and the strategists and the think tanks, they are probably on their knees thanking God that this didn't happen in America because that's all they need.

If that happened, we're.

Oh, that's an excellent point.

President Trump can jump up and say, look at what's happening.

Look at what the Democrats did to your kids.

And I think he should do it.

I think.

And that's exactly why this thing is.

This story has been suppressed in the U.S.

media exactly don't talk about it don't give trump any ideas distract him with more epstein

trump any ideas we're on a roll yeah we're doing great so far hey with that i want to thank you for

your courage in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the 17th century pirates disease

say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr john

See you tomorrow

Yeah, in the morning

We'll be counting you for a second

There we go

1,513

Still a couple hundred low

But it's good to have everybody listening live

At noagendastream.com

Thank you for tuning in

And of course, if you're listening later

Because this is a podcast

than you hopefully are listening on a modern podcast app.

The reason why is because within 90 seconds

of publishing our podcast,

you will find out, you get a notification

because we use the awesome PodPing technology,

part of the Podcasting 2.0 group,

a group of volunteers

who just try to make podcasting better.

And if you all happen to be around

and want to listen live,

you can even listen to the live stream

and we'll get a notification for that in the same app.

It's amazing.

Even Apple is taking our stuff now.

Chapters, transcripts.

We just hope that someone will take Podping

because it's so annoying to get those emails.

You haven't uploaded to Apple yet.

No, it's not exactly how it works.

It's not exactly how it works.

And thank you all for the lovely email messages

you sent about John Scott Adams' interview,

which we aired on 1841.

And I'd listened to it again.

And I think it's one of the few really long form Scott Adams interviews that are around.

I don't think there's any.

I think that is the definitive interview.

And I look back on it.

Now, I got a lot of compliments, too, I will say.

But this was from, I did this interview eight years ago and nobody paid attention.

No, you just listened to that Trump apologist, which you brought up in the interview.

Yeah.

Scott Adams, Trump apologist.

Yeah, exactly.

exactly so now it got a lot of attention

you know eight years later but

thinking back on it I don't

you know he I didn't realize that I didn't

think about it that's got nobody ever

interviewed Scott

they brought him on shows

I don't think he wanted to be interviewed

it wasn't his thing I'm guessing that

probably is true he's a pretty he was reclusive

yeah you had a

you had a special relationship with him

and of course it was I know I've known it forever

it was pre-covid and

that's when he really blew up for

you know all kinds of different reasons he was already huge of course i i'm the one thing i'm

sad about is i wish we've been able to find out what actually happened to his restaurants

because he was like i can't talk about it because there's all kinds of litigation and we settled

and then we agreed not oh i know i know the story can you talk about it yeah of course you can

uh basically he had he was there was he he was put into a position where where the restaurant

where some of the co-investors had cornered him into forcing him into putting more money in.

It was a situation that he was not amenable to, and he said, I'm not going to do that.

And they said, you have to do it, or else we'll just, they bluffed him saying,

we're going to have to shutter the whole thing if you don't do this, because you give us more money.

and he wow and he said you know no no shutter it no i'm not gonna just let it fold yeah good for

him he walked on a deal where he's being pressured yeah good for him so that was good and i thought

it was good to do that on super bowl sunday we did talk about our predictions uh which i missed

of course and you won yeah by uh by a long shot but then again you are the sports ball guy um

yeah so uh thank you all for that it was just nice uh it was nice to see i think also my twitter

timeline you know people were thinking of scott and honoring him and uh and i think it was good

particularly because a lot of people just hadn't heard the interview so that that made it it was a

no agenda bonus special just for you yeah it was it worked out yes um so we run this as a value for

value podcast which means we just ask you to give us whatever value you get out of the show

and you can do that with time talent or treasure now the artwork which is part of our value for

value operation here where you people upload art to noagendaartgenerator.com and Darren had

actually came in late um you know because we we produced this um well before sunday and he had

he had a different piece of art but this was i believe uh there's a story behind it but we

i think we got permission from scott to use uh yes dilbert art was approved but wasn't it wasn't

that a comic strip blogger og piece of art it was it was comic strip blogger uh it had different

caption and yes and and you use photoshop old school no i did not i used that i used the

my photoshop on the machine i had was you working on use the gimp no i didn't i used the recommended

product that was in the tip of the day if you look back far enough now what was that

but it's an old tip real early tip of the day it was a uh a photo editor and it did and i could

It had the tool I was looking for, which was to be able to erase a –

the problem with erasing a background, you know, erasing some text in the foreground

is if the background is scaled where it's, like, dark, you know, lighter,

and there's a word for this, it's light at the top and dark at the bottom.

If you just black out the – you know, you can't –

you have to find some way of duplicating that, and this tool does that

so I can just eliminate the old text and put the new text in.

Oh, wow, good.

Well, I gave you and CSB credit for the art.

Yeah, sounds right.

I'm surprised you didn't try it with AI.

Hey, AI.

No, I can do it faster without AI.

Keep this image exactly the same.

Just add the words farewell, my friend.

I bet you AI couldn't do it.

Well, I'd change this.

I probably could, but it would be a mess.

I'd change the background and some other stuff.

It would have my friend spelled wrong.

I mean, there's always something.

we always thank everyone who supports the show financially, $50 and above.

And in this segment, we give out credits for each episode, just like Hollywood.

In fact, they are recognized by Hollywood at imdb.com,

executive producer and associate executive producer credits.

Here's how it works.

$200 or above, you get a title and a credit of associate executive producer.

It's forever for the rest of your life.

If anyone ever questions it, we'll be happy to vouch for you.

Have we ever had anyone ask for a vouch maybe once, I think?

People don't take this seriously enough.

Well, if they ever do, we'll vouch.

We'll vouch.

So you get that credit, and we will read your note.

$300 and above, executive producer credit.

You can be the envy of your friends, and we will also read your note.

However, as I look at our list, and this is donations, value for value from 1841 and 1842, the first one right off the bat has no note at all.

Yeah, I know.

It's the best.

It's Eric Olson from Plano.

We'll get a note from him, I'm sure.

Plano, Texas, yes, $1,000.

Unless he's a spook and this is our spook money for the month.

Well, I don't think Eric Olson has been knighted.

So do we actually, do we have him on the, is he on the list?

Let me check.

Let me just see.

We do have a knight and a dame today.

Let me check.

Do we have, nope, nope.

So he is, if he.

Why don't we just gratuitously put him on the list?

No, no, no.

We'll wait because he'll have a knight name and he'll have stuff on the round table.

He'll come in.

So $1,000.

Thank you so much, Eric.

No note.

That means you get a double up karma.

You've got.

Order

Shut up, slave

Ah, I fixed it

Fixed all those problems we were having

We are on the people's operating system

John, I'm so happy, I'm so proud

But what'd you fix? It was fine last time

No, remember the New World Order wouldn't play

Oh, that's right, yeah

The cart wall was broke, man

But I fixed it, I fixed it

I figured it out

You know, it was a very simple fix

and then the AI like recreated the whole thing

and then it broke a whole bunch of other things.

I said, you broke this, okay, fix.

You broke that, fix, okay.

And then it made the sliders a whole different color

for no reason.

Out of the blue.

And they look cute

because it has a little metallic finish to it.

Like, oh, that's cool.

But I didn't ask for it.

These are the things that are annoying.

Just a little bit annoying.

There you go.

Hey, there was a rather big news.

in the climate change arena, as President Trump, I think it's happening today, will be revoking

the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate carbon emissions by taking it off

the list of things that are dangerous to your health. CO2 in particular, they say carbon

emissions, but it's CO2, which is a life-giving force. But was that during Obama? When did it,

Well, maybe it's in this report.

Here's CBS.

The Trump administration is preparing what environmental experts are calling one of the most sweeping regulatory rollbacks in modern history.

Rollback.

The president plans to revoke the EPA's legal authority to regulate carbon emissions on Thursday.

See, that's the tricky bit.

They say carbon emissions.

No, it's not carbon emissions.

It is specifically carbon dioxide.

You see what they're doing there?

because when they say they've been doing this for the length of the entire era of our show

correct pa's legal authority to regulate carbon emissions on thursday if it's withdrawn it could

upend decades of u.s climate policy cbs news national environmental correspondent david

schecter joins us now david we're talking about something called endangerment finding why does

that matter it's a kind of a bulky term but it actually is incredible significance when it comes

to environmental regulation, it basically says that it finds that the emissions from our tail

pipes and stuff that create carbon dioxide, that that is a pollutant and that pollutant can be

regulated by the United States government. So it is the underpinning of all the federal policy as

it relates to trying to get a handle on climate change. And by revoking that or essentially not

enforcing that rule anymore that would mean that things like our tailpipe emissions that come out

of our vehicles that the government is is very involved in regulating all of a sudden they

wouldn't regulate that anymore that is up to 20 percent of our carbon emissions in this country

comes from that source which the trump administration says we're no longer going to

regulate notice they all they just take you straight to the dirty dirty tailpipes not to

The cow farts, the cow burps.

Well, actually, the beginning when he said, I tried to interrupt it.

I don't know what you mean.

You didn't hear.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't hear you.

He said the tailpipe emissions which form carbon dioxide.

What?

He said.

He said which form carbon dioxide?

Yeah, very early in the clip.

Oh, I'm sorry I missed that.

Well, it's bogus, but that's CBS.

Barry Weiss, everybody.

Why is he doing this?

What could it possibly be?

Because it's a hoax?

Yes.

You know, there's been a bunch of, I don't have any of the clips.

I suppose I could, I'm going to get some now.

I'm going to start collecting them.

There's more and more and more clips coming on Twitter and TikTok and elsewhere about CBS's skewed reporting.

It's getting worse, not better under Barry Weiss.

Yeah.

I mean, this doesn't seem like it.

This is certainly not pro-Trump.

and it's we were here when the ipcc first came out we were here with the whole scandal remember

the climate change papers what was that called climate gate climate we have a jingle oh man

we got the climate to the gate to the gate to the climate gate yeah hold on a second

for some reason my keyboard is doubling keys which is not good here we go

yeah we uh and was the the climate gate the papers it was all they were they were telling

each other yeah i just use this hockey stick i am paraphrasing yeah they were they were both

they were faking phoning up numbers well it doesn't work so let's use these numbers instead

they were making stuff up as they go along it was a huge setback for the old the entire scam

and it finally kind of blew over after a decade well they because they just kept saying it's not

true you know what you're talking about andrew andrew his name was the guy andrew climate gate

andrew i can't remember his last name uh and then it was the consensus model 97 percent of scientists

agree and it was it was one survey it was 97 percent of climate scientists it wasn't all

scientists but it was 90 percent of climate scientists who believed in climate change

global warming at the time global warming global warming and then we had to switch the climate

change because and and in the beginning it was a weather's not climate weather's not climate

because we were like, it's really chilly for this global warming.

Where does that climate?

And then we got climate change out, extreme weather events.

In our lifetime, in the lifetime of this show, this hoax.

Why is he doing this?

I think that you hear in the Trump administration

obviously a very strong need to, a strong desire to deregulate,

that regulations are onerous on businesses,

cost them a lot of money, and therefore cost consumers a lot of money.

We did hear today from Carolyn Lovett, his press secretary,

that he's going to announce this on Thursday.

And it sounds like it's also being framed

in the affordability sort of argument

that we're hearing from the White House

that by doing this,

they're saying they will save consumers

a lot of money on the cost of a new car

and other things.

That is deeply contested

that in fact,

the more we release carbon dioxide,

the more costs we incur from fires

and fires and droughts.

But here's the game.

The more carbon dioxide we release,

The more we release carbon dioxide, the more costs we incur from fires and droughts and floods and things like that.

Fires and droughts and floods.

Droughts are caused by carbon dioxide.

And lions and tigers.

And floods and droughts.

Floods and droughts.

Oh, but what do the scientists say about this?

What are environmental advocates saying about this expected rollback?

I heard today from the Union of Concerned Scientists, they said...

The Union of Concerned Scientists?

Hey, you know what?

They're concerned.

I want to know how I can join.

In an interview of concerned scientists, they said that this is a chainsaw taken to science-based policy,

saying that it's done at the behest of the polluters, the oil companies.

The polluters.

And the advocates, these nonprofits that are in the environmental space,

are just lining up to sue the Trump administration when this announcement is made.

So you can expect that that lawsuit could go on for a long time.

But the question is, will the administration just start to not enforce these rules right away, regardless of what the lawsuits say?

Yes, it's already happening and it will lower energy prices.

Of course, it's all going to be for the data centers, but it won't lower energy prices out here in California.

Well, no, it's California. It's all about the coal.

This crowd of coal miners made an enthusiastic audience for Donald Trump as he announced his pro-fossil fuel agenda.

On Wednesday, the president said that the U.S. Army will, in future, give priority to electricity derived from coal.

Clean, beautiful coal. Clean, beautiful coal.

We're going to be buying a lot of coal through the military now,

and it's going to be less expensive and actually much more effective

than what we have been using for many, many years.

What, what? Wait? I don't know.

Trump has done everything in his power to relaunch the coal industry,

providing financial support to plants which may otherwise have closed,

and in April, rolling back some regulations.

We're going to be crushing Biden-era environmental restrictions.

These are restrictions that made it impossible, impossible,

to do anything having to do frankly with energy even beyond coal trump says coal should be used

to power their energy hungry data centers used by artificial intelligence models his agenda is a

reversal of previous trends in the u.s in 2023 coal made up 16 of total energy production down

from 50 in the year 2000 the polluting fossil fuel has been gradually replaced by renewable

energy forms, which

according to scientific consensus

are better for the environment

and can be less expensive to produce.

What does this report want to...

It's France 24. I'm bored with it.

You know how it ends. I just want to play

two short clips

because we always like to follow the

words like carbon

emissions when it's really about carbon

dioxide.

And this is regarding... Which plants need to

survive. It's life

force itself.

Um, this is a narrative that you will notice changing once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

Uh, this quick clip, 15 seconds came from CNN. Uh, I believe this lady was a protester against

ICE and she caught herself because she has been given new directive, new words to use,

which have been adopted by the mainstream media, the M5M.

There was probably four people that were, at one point in time, following.

I shouldn't say following.

I should say commuting.

Sounds much better than following.

We were commuting.

Do you guys try to stay away from that language these days?

Yes.

So you don't want to say you're following ICE.

You're just commuting, you see.

You're commuting.

Here's NPR.

I think they had a take on it.

It was the one-month anniversary of the death of Renee Good,

who was shot while slowly driving away from immigration officers.

There you go. There's your mainstream media. There it is. Slowly driving away, commuting. It's all so bad. I love these guys. It's all so bad. You may have a clip. There was just one. I'll save it for Sunday. I got a great Gen Z email, but I'll save it.

I'll save it for, because some Gen Zers think that when we laugh about Florida ounces and stuff, that we think they're morons.

No, some are, like all categories of people.

There's some very specific ones.

But when I hear about, you know, Gen Zers who are, first of all, listening to the show since 2019, love the concept of a sock hop and have a vocation.

You know, we have a lot of hope in Gen Z.

We are here to, in fact, help educate you on the things you don't know about and to set you up for success.

To help educate them on the things that they are kept away from.

Yes, yes, yes.

Obfuscated from them.

Exactly.

Yeah.

All right.

They've got to, they've come to the right place.

And we're not mocking, we are mocking the ones that don't, that are, you know, they know who, they're included.

And they know the dummies out there.

You know who your friends, you know who you are.

A couple of random clips.

I thought this the jet fuel Cuba thing should be mentioned.

I think this is kind of interesting.

OK, because I have a question about it.

All right, here we go.

Cuba's warning international airlines that jet fuel will no longer be available on the island starting today.

It's the latest sign of worsening conditions as the U.S. is cutting off the communist run nation's oil supply.

And today's international correspondent, Arian Pasdar.

Cuba is issuing a notice to airlines saying jet fuel is no longer available on the island.

The nation is implementing a fuel rationing plan as the U.S. is cutting off the communist-run nation's oil supply.

Urgent measures must be taken because people who are going to travel far away, if there is no fuel, I don't know if their flights will be canceled.

Cuba has historically relied on Venezuela to provide most of its jet fuel.

But the nation has not received any oil from its top ally since mid-December,

when the U.S. moved to block the South American nation's exports.

In late January, President Trump signed an executive order

to impose a tariff on countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba.

On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed

that oil shipments from Mexico to Cuba have been halted.

But she says Mexico still seeks to support the people of Cuba.

Two vessels carrying around 800 tons of humanitarian aid

Deported Mexico on Sunday to support the island

We're going to help the people of Cuba

As we've always helped at any time peoples who need it

And now food was sent mainly

And more is going to be sent

The fuel shortage is strongly affecting everyday life in Cuba

Congresswoman Maria Salazar warns

Do not travel to Cuba

Oops, sorry

medicine only blackouts hunger and repression don't risk your safety a regime in its final

hours is unpredictable and dangerous all right what's your question well the regime is fine

what do we got against cuba that we're taking such extreme steps here because it's never explained

somebody brought it up on one of these talk shows is what's what's this our thing with cuba they

haven't attacked us they haven't done anything they're just sitting there you know languishing

basically so what's the big deal i have to say there's something we're not being told about it's

got to be and i think it's china i think china is we've talked about it before yep uh some years

ago they're going to try to put up bases monitoring bases china's been trying to establish those in

cuba and for some reason this information is being now not discussed at all there's something up well

Well, since you're on oil and other countries, I have a question for you regarding this.

Bloomberg reports that for the first time in years, Venezuela is sending its first crude oil shipment to Israel.

That shipment comes just under a month after the U.S. captured the country's former leader, Nicolas Maduro.

Since Maduro's takedown and the subsequent U.S. takeover of Venezuela's oil sales, Brent and crude have been on a tear.

Brent crude up 10.25%, while West Texas Intermediate up 9%.

The oil shipment to Israel comes just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flies to Washington for a meeting with President Trump tomorrow in a bid to influence U.S. nuclear talks with Iran.

This meeting comes also amid heightening Iranian threats about the Strait of Hormuz.

It's that important choke point for the world's crucial oil transfer.

now here's my question does israel have refining capability not that i know of iranian oil i mean

venezuelan oil that that this makes no sense to me it makes no sense to me either because

that venezuelan oil is a very specific heavy crude yeah that has a lot of you know it has a lot of

things you can do with it makes it mainly asphalt that you can get out of there uh and it has other

properties that are unusual and you'd take special specialized refiners which we have

that china has there's other they're around here i mean i suppose i think this is bullcrap

it sounds like bullcrap to me what what are they gonna do with the crude are they gonna use it for

i don't know i mean what would they use it for i mean they don't have refineries in israel that i

know of they maybe there is one but this because we ask you ask the robot if there's a refinery in

israel i don't have the robot queued up all because the robot doesn't speak in linux now

the robot speaks linux just fine i forgot to set her up but but the point because people are posting

this on x like i bet they won't talk about this i'm like yeah we will because i don't get it it

makes no sense i mean we america america we are the we are the uh we are the ones who know this

stuff we understand we understand uh crude oil uh from venezuela and let me ask the robot let me see

well this oh the robot all of a sudden this is talking to me in dutch this is interesting

okay wow why does this talk to it in dutch you can speak dutch talk ask it in dutch

i just i just want to get an answer hold on a second this will be the uh this is the grok bot

I don't have the grok, but grok is, I like grok.

Yeah.

But what is, this thing is, chat, here we go, chat.

Okay.

Does Israel, yes, allow.

Does Israel have refineries that can handle Venezuelan oil?

Israel does have refineries like the one in Haifa run by Bazan Energy.

It can process heavy crude oil, which Venezuelan oil tends to be.

stuff like mary that's high in sulfur and needs specific handling but they've been picky lately

due to quality issues and geopolitics from what i know up to my cutoff israel hasn't imported

venezuelan oil since sanctions kicked in around 2018 and even before that it wasn't a big deal

they'd need upgrades or blending to make it work smoothly now there you go that's interesting okay

So Haifa, which is up, I think, north.

Yes.

Is, yeah, that'd be a place for it on the water there.

They got a coastal.

You need access to the water so you can bring the tankers in, obviously.

So have they upgraded?

Have they upgraded to do this?

I guess.

Well, I think you can blend back this stuff.

People have talked about that.

You can mix it with something else.

Look, it's obvious Mossad is controlling Trump.

That's why he had to send some Venezuelan oil to Israel.

Just so you know, that is what's going on here.

You know, some of these refiners, I mean, refineries are designed around the crude oil generally.

There's general purpose refineries that can handle everything, and they're built that way, and they're huge.

And then some refineries are specific to, you know, they just specialize in certain kinds of oil because they're good at it.

And if you've got a thing that can take sulfur out and handle all the heavy stuff and has the catalytic cracking and all the rest of it, you need that oil to keep these things going properly.

Hold on, let's ask another question.

How much did Israel pay the United States for this crude oil?

In a perfect world, trade's about fair deals.

No one's getting handouts.

But geopolitics?

That's messier.

If Israel's buying Venezuelan crude rerouted through the U.S.

You don't have an answer.

Shut up.

Yeah.

Doesn't have an answer.

Just dad living.

I want a price.

I want a...

Yack, yack, yack is all you hear.

She's freewheeling.

She's going on and on.

All right, you got a final clip you want to play, or what do you want?

Well, let's see.

I can come up with a shorty here, I think.

Mm-hmm.

Well, the Canadian bridge story should be...

At least we can catch up on this.

Yes.

This is kind of interesting.

You've been listening...

If you're not letting the bridge, you've got a bridge, then they're outworked, and Trump

doesn't want the bridge to work.

Canada reels from one of the worst mass shootings in its history.

Police named the suspect as 18-year-old Jesse Van Vrutselaar.

Eight people were killed.

You're playing...

I'm playing trans. I'm sorry.

No, no, Canada Bridge.

I saw it, yes. I thought it was all BBC, but it's NTD.

It's my mistake.

The trans bridge is the problem.

President threatening to block the opening of a bridge connecting the U.S. and Canada

as he warns Ottawa of cozying up to the Chinese regime.

We now go live to NDD's Washington correspondent, Mario Tsu, at the White House.

Mari, good evening.

President Trump threatens to block the opening of a bridge between the U.S. and Canada

unless Ottawa negotiates with Washington on tariffs and the exclusion of American products.

He accuses Canada of taking advantage of the U.S. with unfair trade practices

and cozying up to the Chinese regime.

The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge

and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president.

It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge isn't being built

with more American-made materials,

even more so than what President Barack Obama committed to

with the Canadians at the time, at the start of the project.

Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.

They should be grateful also, but they're not.

Canada lives because of the United States.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's spoken with President Trump

after the president issued that threat

and that the situation will be resolved,

although he didn't give further details.

And this is coming just a couple weeks after President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on Canada

if they made a deal with the Chinese regime.

Tiff, back to you.

Is that true?

Does Canada own the land on both sides of the bridge?

I don't know.

It doesn't make any sense.

I thought Michigan owned the land on one side.

This is just another, like, Greenland thing.

You sound screwy about this story.

well i i i agree i mean you know canada needs to pay us no matter what just pay us

just because trump says so pay us it's our you know it's our country

but obviously they're not going to build a bridge that crosses

the border there and just let it sit empty you can't do that so because there's always a already

a jam up on that bridge in windsor there's got to be something else behind there's something else

going we don't get told enough stuff i'm gonna show myself by donating to no agenda imagine all

the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab

well we don't get told enough stuff we do have a few people to thank for uh show 1841 and 1842

for both dames and knights all we need from you is a ring size so that we can send you the proper

ring, the properly sized ring,

and along with that, obviously, a certificate

of authenticity, and it

always comes with some wax to seal your

important correspondence. We have a missed

note from Mr.,

Sir Mr. Bob Dabalina

that was $350,

donated in episode 1838.

He wrote his note of the 200 characters

allowed on PayPal. I think we did this.

Didn't we talk about this?

He said you didn't

see it?

I don't remember. Yes,

I remember this because he said the state of Florida tested 46 candies and found unacceptable amount of arsenic in 28 of them.

Yes, I remember this.

I don't remember us reading it.

I remember reading the note.

No, I'm pretty sure we read it on the show.

Okay.

I could be wrong.

Does he have anything else in here?

No, I think we got all of that.

But then we had a Dame request from Dame Catherine.

On January 4th, my husband's friend, Stefan, sent in a note to share that my husband, Bill Walsh, a.k.a. Sir Saturday Night, died suddenly just before Christmas.

While his death was unexpected, so was our friend's tribute.

I jolted for my seat when I heard Bill's name and was so touched, despite Adam calling him a douche in the next breath.

Well, come on.

I think I was very nice about it.

And in fact, I said that it's always interesting how the people who yell at us the most actually love us the most.

And she says, yes, Bill indeed loved the show, contributing his time, talent, and treasure as often as possible.

Financially, he was a baronet working on his way to baron status.

Our knight and dame rings were proudly used in our 10-10 2020 wedding.

Otherwise, his efforts included informative emails to the hosts and developing the bones of a personal website for John,

about which Bill didn't hear back.

despite follow-up attempts i hope you feel bad john he regularly completed competed in the weekly

art contest and recently developed a website and the ai slop songs promoted na and ashland speed

yes he made the ashland speed um as a pop artist he was most proud of creating the john's i got

ants song some years ago and would light up when someone requested the short or long version of it

with their donation bill's life was cut too short at age 44 his 45th birthday would fall on the next

show day february 8th 26 i'm therefore requesting a posthumous birthday shout out further i'm also

requesting that the full john's i got ant song be played in his honor at the end of the show

february 8 26 as he created it i will do that and then he asked she asked um it's maybe a long

shot but his bill was chronically online in communication with more no agenda producers

than i even know i wonder if the link to his obituary newly posted on the funeral home this

week could be quietly included in this episode show notes absolutely we'll take care of that

and we already have three end of show mixes but i will put in the i've got ants song for him in

memory of bill and thank you so much for uh for sending that note dame catherine i just love that

they uh that they use their knight and dame rings yeah that is cute that is very cute so uh we miss

Strokey Bill, Sir Bill, as we would miss anybody who leaves Gitmo Nation.

And God bless them.

You want to be where you want to be.

Drink it all, hell's blame.

You want to be where everybody feels the same.

It's like a party.

Yeah, just like a party.

Party, party, party.

We have John's tip of the day coming up and extended end of show mixes,

including the I Got Ants by Sir Bill.

But before we do that, we always like to do a little bit of a man versus the machine,

see what ISOs we can come up with for the end of the show.

I see you have three.

Three, yes.

Do you want me to start as usual?

Yes, please.

Those two together is awesome.

Okay.

I thought that was pretty good.

those guys really brought the value today

yes you're right that was where'd you get that that was where'd that come from that was ai

someone gave it to me yeah well now you're saying it's not a because someone gave it to you so it

doesn't count as ai i said it was ai it's ai after i asked okay this is not ai oh it's an

aug file and i can't play the aug file aug vorbis aug vorbis will not play well instead let me play

let me see do i have this maybe this one no agenda is my guilty pleasure

donate another yeah i knew you'd like it but it's ai i'm kind of i'm kind of low on the fact that it

was ai i like that one i know you like the donate part i know exactly what you like

Well, I'm not an idiot.

No, you're not.

Far from it.

So here we go.

Now, this is a real one.

We're switching roles because I have a real clip here.

Here's the ISO nothing.

Oh, we learned nothing.

Okay.

True.

Also true.

Yes, true.

True.

Okay.

So here's where we go to the good stuff.

Here's a hoi polloi.

Wow.

How can the hoi polloi ignore this podcast?

It needs to be quicker.

Okay, then we'll go to this one, which is the last one I have, which is drinks.

Excellent podcast, as usual.

Drinks for everyone.

Yeah, see, I know you like mine better.

I know it because it says donate.

Here we go.

Let's listen to it again.

No agenda is my guilty pleasure.

Donate.

I mean, I know you like it.

I know that's what you want.

You want that to be the one at the end of the show.

True or not?

What, are you trying to hypnotize me?

Yeah.

And while we have decided that, let's do the tip of the day.

great advice for you and me just the tip with jcd and sometimes adam

okay well i have these things at the dinner table and i'm thinking yeah i should make a tip of the

day okay and these are the uh the home memory led taper candles these are the flameless candles that

have a have a remote and a timer and uh you know i've been looking at these i've had them for a

year i got them as a gift and i said i don't want flameless candy stupid candles that are

yeah they flicker they look like candles and they you know they seem like candles and they're

candles looking things and i've actually gotten so used to them i don't see why anyone would buy

candles these things cost about the same amount per candle about three bucks a piece candles and

Candles can be very expensive, I find.

And candles can be, well, these are the tapers.

The ones I'm recommending are the stick candles that go into a candle holder.

But you can also get the big, round, giant candles that have a,

which actually look even more realistic, that are available also.

You can look at flameless candles on Amazon or anywhere you want to go.

And I just recommend them.

I think they're fabulous.

And a little remote control.

You need the remote control.

they have these at restaurants except not with the remote control they have them at restaurants

no but you can bring you know the remote control is universal oh you bring it to the restaurant

and turn everyone's candle off yeah you could there's another tip of the day it's a sub tip

of the day bring the remote control to the restaurant and just while casually walk by

and turn off the candles yeah do you remember we used to do that with remote controls would

be turning off yeah the bar yeah the bar turning off the tvs oh the good times remember when we

were happy just messing with the tv at the bar remember we didn't know where you know candles

now we didn't need tiktok we didn't need social media we just need a remote control for the

candles and that'll be fine these things and then turn off some lights in the can you know the funny

thing about having them at the table is occasionally one of them will just turn on out of the blue

yes like why what turn this you know what kind of rays are coming through the window sounds like

Quality stuff from China is what it sounds like to me.

Well, it's definitely quality stuff from China.

But if you don't have these candles, I would recommend them as a cool thing to own.

All right.

There it is.

Another fabulous tip of the day.

Find them all at noagendafun.com or tipoftheday.net.

Great advice for you and me.

Just the tip with JCB.

Ahui hui

And such

I'm reclaiming my time

Order

Reclaiming my time

The witness starts to frame my thoughts

But that is not the goal I've sought

I'll cut you off before the verb

The rhythmic flow I must disturb

Reclaiming my time

I'm reclaiming my time

Your answer is a waste of breath

I'll pour this sequence into death

Reclaiming my time

Mr. Chairman

Reclaiming my time

I don't want the truth today

Reclaiming my time

I only want the words I say

Reclaiming my time

My time

You better hide your kids, hide your wife

The transurrection is coming tonight

And when it is here, fear for your life

Next time, try to get their pronouns right.

They cuss and curse because they are offended.

There's nothing worse than being misgendered.

When they are, you better run far.

You know we are the full God of children.

We're born complete and whole.

Don't close your hearts with me, God willing.

You gave us sacred souls

You better hide your kids, hide your wife

The transurrection is coming tonight

Before the bodies are in the ground

The media's debating about pronouns

And Clown World, the murderer, must be honored

How dare you dead name Jeffrey Dahmer

And if you do, they'd shoot us in the night

Soon we'll know we are all God's children, born complete and born alive.

Don't close your hearts, believe God, believe he gave you a sacred soul.

You better hide your kids, hide your wife, the transurrection is coming tonight.

There's someone living inside them, all right

They've lost the fight with the parasite

That drives the mind to be infected

It's why they re-et ivermectin

It ain't the germs, it's always been the worms

You know we are all God's children

We're born complete and born

To be loved and part with the God we need

Yeah, you're so sacred to souls in the heart.

Your wine tips really knock it out of the park every single time.

You should just do wine tips all the time, as far as I'm concerned.

And it's called Method, M-E-T-H-O-D, Method.

M-E-T-H-O-D

Method

And it's called Method

So this audience, they like the cheap stuff

They like the cheap stuff

It doesn't have mega purple in it

You can tell by the core

This hasn't been jacked up with a bunch of chemicals

It's a California Cabernet

And it's called Method

M-E-T-H-O-D

So this audience, they like the cheap stuff

Well you would never steer us wrong

Thank you

I got ants.

I don't know if we had ants.

We had ant invasion.

I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants

and then ground them to a powder like a fine, fine grind of black pepper,

we were having dinner and uh yeah i got an ant uh somehow in the meal and i ate it these things

are peppery i got ants i got ants

these ants they don't need a lot and then you just see you find all the ones that are roaming

Although I backed him off by doing the burning trick.

Just torch him.

And you leave him there.

The only, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch,

and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.

I got ants.

I got ants
