Cone of Uncertainty

0:00 Maybe I should floss while Adam's giving his analysis.

0:04 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, 04/19/2026.

0:08 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode eighteen sixty one. This is No Agenda.

0:15 Counting the war crimes and broadcasting 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, I'm sorry, the Refinery Row where we assume nobody in America could find a run on a map if they had to. I'm John C. Dvorak.

0:36 Morning. Refinery

0:38 Row. One of these days, you know, you'll you'll just about get it and then it'll be time to move back Yeah. I'll be done. Move back to the house. How you feeling, John? How you doing?

0:46 I'm hanging in there. Yeah. I'm not good today.

0:49 Why?

0:52 You know, I went to we drove to Bastrop. Yeah. Actually, I didn't drive. We went to Bastrop yesterday to go visit my my friend in the in the big house in the slammer,

1:02 in the pen.

1:04 And I don't know Oh, the doctor. Yeah. And I don't know if it's five, you know, five hours. Maybe it was because it wasn't my car and the seat was weird or maybe some of the snacks I had from prison

1:16 food snacks.

1:17 But I was like, and maybe it's both.

1:20 I got like a real pain in my the whole left side of my

1:24 like from my You probably just gotta it's probably the seat. Because,

1:29 you know, I was also doing show prep while while

1:33 sitting there.

1:34 Yeah. Takes it that's Hey,

1:37 you know what people going into the slammer is not a good idea

1:41 for your friends.

1:43 Yeah. No. I'd say not. It's not. Yeah. Well, we're hopeful. We're hopeful.

1:50 Any news on the fluids?

1:53 On the who? The fluids. The fluids.

1:56 Yeah. The fluids are still coming. Oh. I'm going to have to might might have have another procedure to to prevent this from continuing. Oh, no.

2:04 And maybe, in fact, it might result in a in a reprise

2:09 of a Mimi show.

2:11 You're kidding me. When when is this like, this is a new development?

2:15 No. Well, the development was always there as they it it's they,

2:20 when they, were doing the process

2:23 of fixing the heart,

2:25 they they ended up doing some I don't know what they did wrong or right, but they ended up with

2:33 collapsing a lung. Well, now that was your fault.

2:37 Yeah.

2:38 And so

2:39 Come on, man. That was always your damaged.

2:42 There was, you know, some lining or something, and so this thing's just there it's the right side.

2:47 Well, wait a minute. So so wait a minute. First, they were telling me, oh, this is totally normal. This is what happens with this procedure. And now they're like, well, it wasn't that normal and, you know, you Something like that. We're gonna I'm gonna find out on Wednesday. You collapsed your lungs, your fault. Because they're gonna blame you. You know they're gonna blame you. Oh, we'll see. Yeah. So so what that mean? Would that mean what what procedure would have to take place? I don't know. I talked to the the the guy, the expert on this and it is it it doesn't seem too complicated,

3:19 but,

3:20 it might require one day in the hospital. Oh, man. So

3:25 okay. So you don't know what it is. They're gonna do something but you talk to the expert but you don't know what he's doing? No. He knows what he's doing. Yeah. But he's not the guy who takes care of the problem. Oh.

3:36 Well, that sucks.

3:38 Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, why am I complaining?

3:42 I don't know. You you you like to complain. I rarely You're getting good at it. I I rarely complain about every anything. Anything at all. Well, you start by complaining about your back. That's what I mean. So why am I complaining? I need to stop that. That's no good

3:57 compared to you.

3:59 Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I'm sorry. Pete, know, I am so surprised

4:05 at people.

4:08 They they send the most horrible notes to me about you even.

4:13 About what? What what are they complaining about? Let me see if I can find it.

4:19 Let me see. I mean, I don't if I deleted it. Yeah. Find a horrible note. Yeah. That's where we start to Adam show

4:25 should or John should stop with the with the sympathy stuff and just produce the best podcast in the universe.

4:32 Stuff

4:33 like that. Like with the No. That's like you were back on the stick on the on the on the metal stick within a within a just two weeks of of open heart surgery.

4:44 Yeah. And they're like, oh man, stop stop using it. Did you what did you I didn't see the newsletter. Did did you you put something in the newsletter about how sad you are?

4:52 No. Oh, then I wonder what to moaning about. I didn't moaning about what we talk about on the show, what we just did. My

5:00 updates. Updates on my health. Well, like the updates on your health. Everybody else can go pound sand. So here's one from Paul and Paul Cassell, he's been listening for a long time.

5:10 And I we're losing people. We're losing people to the podosphere.

5:14 Listen to this.

5:15 I'm disappointed.

5:17 In your narrow I'm not gonna do the voice because I like this guy. He's always been he's been a long term but he has been captured by the narrative. Listen to this. We you know, this is a problem that we have. Yeah. It happens. But when it happens, I wanna point it out.

5:30 I'm disappointed in your narrow view of Trump's mental condition. See? The programming's already it's already working. They're

5:38 already convinced he's he's mental.

5:41 True. He's not afflicted with age related dementia like Biden,

5:45 but that doesn't mean he's mentally fit.

5:48 Here we go. His lifelong narcissism

5:51 has tipped from a productive neurotic to the dangerous psychotic.

5:56 All it takes is a dispassionate evaluation of his letter to Norway on the Nobel and his depiction of himself as Jesus to see that.

6:04 Well, okay. So right there He didn't do that. He didn't do He that. Think he did the image? Well, that's the narrative. This is this is why people fall for it. He's forming policy based on personal PK

6:16 rather than national benefit.

6:18 What's that mean? Well, like, he's doing stuff to make himself look better or Personal what's Pique?

6:25 P I q u e p k? What what I don't know. What do you think that is? Pronounced

6:30 Pique,

6:31 I think.

6:32 What is I have no idea what what would do. Hold on a second. What that means in this context. Let's see. What is the different definition of the word spelled p I q u e? That's the book of knowledge.

6:44 Oh.

6:45 Oh, no.

6:48 This is great.

6:49 Your

6:51 credit balance is too low.

6:54 Go to Book of knowledge is now asking for money? Please go to plans and billing to upgrade or purchase credits.

7:03 Well, there it is. There it is. And this, by the way, is where it's headed. We've used it three times. This is where this is where the world is headed, man. This is it.

7:14 It's where we're hey, you don't have enough tokens, man. There'll be people on the street, hey, brother, can you spare me some tokens?

7:22 Can you give me a couple of tokens? I just need some just need five tokens, man, so I can talk to my chat GPT.

7:28 Oh,

7:29 Rob the constitutional lawyer

7:31 who I might point out has co written a dictionary.

7:35 Did you know that?

7:38 No. Yeah. He says it means anger.

7:41 That says, so who needs the robot when you've got robbed the constitutional lawyer? Anyway,

7:46 final paragraph here. There isn't any art in his deals.

7:50 All of the concessions he's managed stemmed from him using the military might of The US as a threat to anyone who balks at his demands. In my opinion, it's past time to call this guy out as the threat he is. Continue to defend him by making up fairy tales of how this is all four, five, six dimensional Go or chess.

8:12 I don't think we've ever used that term.

8:15 And why why do people think we're defending him?

8:19 What is that?

8:23 I don't recall defending him. I'm critical.

8:27 Has grown beyond stale

8:29 and it's into the embarrassing.

8:32 So It's it's

8:34 beyond stale? Yeah. We are are defending him but and and making up fairy tales of how this is all four or five or six dimensional go or chess. I don't think we've ever said that.

8:45 Whatever.

8:46 But this is what happens. This is the narrative and it's and you know what? I feel bad for these people because

8:53 this is only going to last two and a half more years. You will never ever ever have a president like this in your lifetime ever again.

9:01 Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

9:04 And yeah, by the time we get some

9:07 nut job democrat in the White House, we'll be back to exactly what you want, you know, Be critical of everything.

9:14 That's

9:15 what they want.

9:16 They want just want you to be critical. Critical of everything.

9:22 Where do you wanna start? I I

9:25 I hand the microphone to you. Why don't you get started today? Well, since we we have to deal with this back and forth and back and forth and open, closed, open, closed. You know, the the the way I'm looking at this is that the IRGC,

9:39 what's the c stand for by the way?

9:43 International

9:43 revolution

9:45 CORP, CORP, c o r p e s. CORP. CORP. Guard CORP.

9:49 Yeah. I believe.

9:51 I think that they're all, freelancing.

9:54 I think it's all bullcrap if you ask me. Every single bit of this whole thing is bullcrap.

9:59 Well, I think this because there's no leadership. I think I think the IRGC

10:04 people in different areas, the different commanders,

10:06 they've taken it upon themselves. Maybe they can become the leader, so they're gonna shoot at a boat, and they're gonna say, yeah. We we're not going along with this.

10:15 We never agreed to this. It's this and that. I mean, the whole thing is is discombobulated

10:20 to say the least. Mhmm.

10:24 So let's play the can I have a round up clip here? See, here's the simple Iran Lebanon update

10:31 from NPR. Iran has reversed its decision and is again imposing restrictions on ship traffic through the Strait Of Hormuz.

10:38 British officials say three commercial vessels came under fire today.

10:43 They say the attacks caused damage, but no fires are casualties.

10:47 It's day two of a ten day ceasefire to pause the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

10:53 The agreement seems to be holding amid several incidents of violence, but many in Lebanon are not convinced it will lead to lasting peace.

11:00 NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports from Beirut. 46 year old Abir Muhammad al Masri has been living in a tent in a parking lot with her six kids for nearly seven weeks.

11:10 She says she'd much rather be in their apartment in the southern suburbs, but

11:17 I don't trust the ceasefire, she said. It's more of a truce than a ceasefire. We can't go home yet.

11:23 Many of the more than 1,000,000 people displaced in Lebanon during this war have headed back to the South where much of the fighting was happening despite warnings not to. But Israel is still occupying about 10% of the country after destroying whole villages to create what it calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel. Lebanese people from those villages cannot return.

11:45 Yeah. Okay. I have a problem with all of this.

11:48 None of this makes sense.

11:51 The

11:52 okay. So this they closed the Straits Of Hormone. They what what does that mean to you? They oh, we've closed the Straits Of Hormone? What does that mean?

12:01 That they they have apparently,

12:03 they had some little boats running

12:05 around and and therefore no one wants to go through again. Is that what that is?

12:10 Well, that and the threat that if a

12:13 ship tries to pass,

12:15 they'll send a drone or a missile at it. Yeah. Okay. But let's listen to what actually happened.

12:21 It was an Indian ship and

12:24 funny enough of of all the video we have in in the entire universe,

12:29 we have zero evidence

12:31 of this Indian ship being fired upon. We have a radio message. And in fact here, this is the Al Jazeera version.

12:39 A ceasefire

12:40 may be in place, but in the Strait Of Hormuz,

12:43 the confrontation

12:44 continues.

12:46 Here, Iran and The United States are still engaging directly,

12:50 not through air strikes, but through control, pressure, and daily encounters at sea.

12:57 Iran has reimposed strict controls over the waterway.

13:00 It says the limits on shipping are in retaliation

13:05 to The US blockade on Iranian ports and accused The US of breaching

13:10 its commitments.

13:13 The strait is a strait under the full and intelligent control of the Islamic Republic Of Iran.

13:18 At any time according to circumstances, it will make use of this Strait. The Americans must accept that this is not a place for bullying, not a place for arrogance. At

13:28 least two commercial vessels reported coming under fire when they attempted to cross on Saturday

13:34 according to maritime security sources. Maritime security sources, whoever that is. Iranian navy. This is.

13:42 Words said, I read you loud and Alright.

13:47 So that all you hear is this is the Iranian Navy turnaround.

13:52 But who what was this ship? What was on it? And what direction were they headed? You'll be surprised. Help us understand that there were the Iranians shot at two Indian flagged vessels

14:05 in the Strait Of Hormuz. What what happened? Those are the last two ships that tried to get through the Strait. As of this morning, we're seeing no traffic move through. So you can see one of the Iranian, Indian Tigers as it moved up trying to go through the straight. So this is Iranian

14:20 oil that the Indian tanker just bought and they get up to here from Iran and they get told to turn around. So the tanker captain said, hey, what the heck? It's your oil that I just bought from you. So this was What how does this make any sense?

14:33 So the IRGC

14:35 is saying, you who are trying to sell our Iranian oil that we just sold to you, turn around and go back to our port. What what is that?

14:45 Well, that makes zero sense. Because

14:48 this whole thing is bull crap. The last attempt, but you'll notice the track that it was on, John. The Iranians have been pushing the normal track out of the gulf through these two islands here because they're tolling. They're charging up to $2,000,000. Oh, you didn't go through the toll gate. That's what it is. Okay. That's not the same as the strait is closed and they're being fired upon. It was per ship to go through this. This is something that the Iranians wanna continue to do, but it's a US red line. No tolling, freedom of movement. That's gonna be the red line that The US still has to resolve. It's just astounding. They bought oil from Iran,

15:21 and they were stopped by the Iranians who started shooting at them. Anyway, let what is it going to take to open the Strait Of Hormuz for for shippers to be confident that they can go through? Couple things have to happen. One, these small boats that we saw attacking the Indian freighters yesterday have to stop their attacks. So the Iranians still have And now and now just in the same

15:42 one and a half minute, he's like, well, they gotta stop attacking them. There was no attack. They radioed them to to turn around and go back. And now it's an attack on this ship,

15:52 Colonel Ganyard. That that they can go through. Couple things have to happen. One, these small boats that we saw attacking the Indian freighters yesterday

16:00 have to stop their attacks. So the Iranians still have hundreds of small boats, some of them in caves that they can attack shipping So within the shipping

16:08 if they do that, the insurance companies that are insuring all these tankers back here are gonna say, you're not moving until we know that you were not gonna get attacked. The other And these lines were saying this is what it looks like in a normal This is what it's normal. This is the normal just North of Iran. This is the normal track. This is the track that has been pushing up so that the Iranians can toll. I mean,

16:28 come on.

16:30 And he says the magic word, insurance. I'll hold off on that. I'm sure you have more clips. I just wanted to point out Well, you know, the other thing is is that it seems to me the Iranians should

16:40 if they're if you're buying their oil

16:43 Yeah. You should get through without having to pay a toll.

16:49 The whole It's like, you know, marketing.

16:51 Well,

16:52 I think it's because I don't know. You know, they I guess they're getting money but they can't send the money anywhere because of operation economic fury,

17:01 gay general patent on the case. You can't send your money anywhere, so we need it in cash. Cash, man.

17:08 So I guess I got a couple Scott Simon clips.

17:11 But do you wanna do that right now?

17:13 The the best part of this is ceasefire

17:15 analysis. Suffering succotash.

17:17 I'm Scott. I'm

17:19 with you. I'm with you.

17:22 Simon. Alright. I'm with you. Ceasefire

17:25 analysis.

17:28 Ceasefire.

17:30 Yes. Got it. Good morning, Scott. Good morning. Let's begin with the straight. Yeah. It's been real whiplash.

17:35 Yesterday,

17:36 with the ceasefire,

17:38 between Israel and Lebanon,

17:41 Iran then announced it would open the strait to commercial traffic for the duration of that ceasefire,

17:46 but only along this prescribed route close to the Iranian coast.

17:50 But then The US said it would maintain its blockade of Iranian ports while those peace talks continue.

17:57 So perhaps in response, today, Iran's military said, no. The strait remains closed until The US lifts its blockade

18:04 of Iran. So it's

18:06 been a confusing, what, twenty four hours with a lot of questions left about is the strait,

18:11 apparently

18:12 reclosed or never really open to shipping. And and so where does that put the ceasefire between The US and Iran?

18:19 Well, officially, it's set to expire on Tuesday, April 21. There's talk of extending that deadline.

18:25 One source,

18:27 with who on Capitol Hill, who's not authorized to speak publicly, told NPR that he's hearing at least the Pakistanis who are hosting these talks want to extend them.

18:36 President Trump has said that a deal with Iran is very close,

18:42 and yesterday he told reporters, quote, I think it's going to happen.

18:47 As you say, Pakistan's mediating the talks.

18:50 Vice president Vance was in Islamabad last weekend but did not seemingly make much progress. So what's the next step?

18:57 The next step could be direct talks between The US and Iran, most likely there in Pakistan. And president Trump told reporters that if there's a deal, he might even go there and show up in person,

19:07 but that of course, that was before the news that Iran,

19:11 has closed the strait.

19:13 At this point, the deal seems probably to hinge on a pause in Iran's nuclear enrichment program.

19:20 The administration wants a twenty year pause, while Iran is talking about a five year pause.

19:26 Okay. They're talking about a pause.

19:29 Yeah. In the in for the nuclear dust.

19:32 Yeah.

19:34 Okay. So that's that that that was a that's a,

19:39 point of negotiation. So they changed it from the end,

19:42 no you know, you can't do nothing into a pause. A pause. A pause. Yes. Yeah. This is what Obama did, by the way. That's exactly what he did.

19:52 Okay. Let's go to part two. So there'll be some haggling over that timeline.

19:57 We spoke to one analyst who said,

19:59 yes. Of course, a deal is better than war, but without any details, it's hard to say. For example,

20:05 will there be international inspectors who will go in to see if Iran is just maintaining a peaceful nuclear infrastructure,

20:13 not a weapons program.

20:15 Will the will The US unfreeze billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets? Those were all factors in an in a deal forged during the Obama administration

20:26 that president Trump scrapped in his first term. He called it a bad deal.

20:31 The unfreezing of these assets is something the Iranians apparently are insisting on this time, but we don't know what to what extent president Trump will

20:38 essentially rebuild the the JCPOA.

20:41 That was the deal that was hammered out under the Obama administration.

20:44 And and give us more details, please, on the deal in Lebanon.

20:48 Yes. It's also a a ten day ceasefire,

20:51 but the most important distinction is that,

20:54 Israel may have made a peace deal with the Lebanese government. It's not clear they've made a peace deal with Hezbollah,

21:00 the Iranian backed Shiite

21:02 militia army

21:04 that operates

21:05 in Southern Lebanon and and it was essentially the the entity that was at war with Israel. So that militant group has said it won't accept any deal. President Trump has urged them to, quote, act nicely.

21:17 Hezbollah says Israel can't have any freedom of movement in Lebanon, but Israeli forces are in Southern Lebanon right now. They're say they're there to prevent Hezbollah from firing rockets and missiles into Israel. And meanwhile, there's a huge buildup of US forces in the region.

21:31 One US carrier group actually took the the ancient route around the length of Africa instead of going through the Suez Canal to get there, which I think tells you a lot about the current state of, safety of navigation

21:45 in the region. And Paris Quirrell Lawrence, thanks so much.

21:48 And who was that guy? Who was that what was he what were his

21:52 his bona Yeah.

21:55 What were the guys? I don't know. He no good this. Let me go back to the colonel

21:59 because the colonel has a very different view of things.

22:02 And all I can hear the colonel think is, yeah, longer. We got more stuff to do. Once

22:07 they get the fastboats stopped, don't attack us anymore. And and how hard can it be for us to blow some of these fastboats out of the water? Did we not see

22:16 15

22:19 multi engine outboard drug boats getting blown out of the water?

22:24 Did we not see satellite.

22:26 Yeah. Targeting or targeting satellite. They blow these guys out of the water. Now this is a problem?

22:33 No. This

22:35 there's a scam afoot here. Once they get the fastboats stopped, don't attack us anymore. There's the other question of mines.

22:42 Apparently, the have lost track of where the mines are that they put in the water. Oh. Oh. Hey. Hey, Chewds, man. We've where'd you put the mine? I don't know. I I dropped it over here. I don't know. So the US Navy after the shooting We can pick up the heartbeat

22:59 of a guy in the mountains who ejected out of an airplane,

23:03 but now we can't see or find the mines in the Straits Of Hormuz?

23:08 We have the discombobulator

23:10 that made people bleed from their eyeballs

23:13 when we when we went in to get

23:17 Chavez,

23:19 but we can't find these mines. Okay. Stops. Maduro. Maduro. I'm sorry. Thank you. Maduro.

23:25 But we can't find the mines. And it's very sophisticated

23:28 demining equipments. Think underwater drones,

23:31 still untested in combat. To get all that kit in, it'll be about a week. How have we oh,

23:37 still untested in combat? Oh, this is a this is a sales demo.

23:42 That's what's going on. That's what's going on here. Oh, yeah. Still untested, but luckily.

23:47 So okay. Again, it's very sophisticated

23:50 demining equipments. Think underwater drones.

23:53 Still untested in combat. To get all that kit in, it'll be about a week.

23:57 Then to clear these lanes about a week outbound, a week inbound, that's three weeks. If they find any, mines at all, you can double that timeline. So even if we get everything if this breaks out today No. Because this Why? He's Why would you double it? Because he's a sales guy. If you found one mine, you're gonna double the time? What? You found the mine. So why you have to why does it go from three weeks to six weeks? I just love the fact that we don't know where they are. We don't know.

24:26 Come on. It's gonna be weeks, if not months before this mess. Months. Months. Months. I tell you. Buy more of our untested stuff. Clogged. Meanwhile, there's this US

24:37 embargo

24:38 stopping

24:39 all Iranian tips from getting out. Explain how that works. Indeed. So if you take a line here from the Pakistan Iran border down to this point of land in Oman,

24:49 this is where The US is running this blockade. We've got about 22 ships in the region. We could probably do it with about half of that. So they're getting help from aircraft,

24:57 from satellites. So we're tracking all these ships that are trying to or going up to the line here. So we can do this indefinitely.

25:04 The thing that's most interesting is that there are reports out there now saying that The US will board and seize any Iranian oil anywhere in the world.

25:12 90% of the Iranian oil goes to China. So if we board a ship, it will most likely be Chinese oil just weeks before president Trump is supposed to meet with Xi Jinping in Beijing. So here's what I think. I think this this ship is is is got the Iranian oil.

25:29 It's it's boopity boop. It's toodling along. The r IRGC says, yo, dude, turn around.

25:35 Turn around because they're gonna board you. They're gonna take this oil, it's meant for China. Turn around. It's not safe.

25:43 That's an interesting thesis. Wow. What else could it be?

25:46 Other than the only thing that is closing the straits of hormones, and I'm very disappointed in Scott Bess'n's

25:52 because he has not stepped up to the plate, is the insurance. And I I did a deep dive

25:58 on this insurance stuff. This is hilarious.

26:02 So this is

26:03 who is this lady? She's Catherine Runivera

26:09 and she is this is just short clip. She's looking at all this stuff. But here's what matters.

26:15 Lloyd's of London

26:16 war risk premiums went from 0.2%

26:20 of vessel value

26:22 per transit

26:23 to about 1%.

26:26 That's a fivefold

26:27 increase.

26:28 Vessel charter rates hit half $1,000,000

26:32 per day.

26:33 Insurers won't cover transit without military escort. So this is a security issue.

26:38 And that's the big constraint.

26:40 So when Lloyd's normalizes,

26:42 the crisis ends,

26:45 not before.

26:47 So watch Lloyd's war risk premiums,

26:50 not Brent crude prices.

26:53 Oil price doesn't determine whether flows resume.

26:57 Insurance does.

26:59 So right now, roughly a quarter to a third

27:03 of global seaborne fertilizer

27:06 passes through the Strait Of Hormuz.

27:09 We're talking nitrogen,

27:11 ammonia, potash. Potash?

27:13 All of Potash. That is

27:15 Potash, baby. But the real commercial question is pretty much similar.

27:20 Can you insure the cargo?

27:22 So the VLCCs,

27:24 which are very large crude carriers,

27:27 their charter rate at $500,000

27:29 per day means the daily cost to move oil has increased roughly

27:34 five to 10 times normal rates.

27:37 War risk premiums at 1%

27:39 mean on a $100,000,000

27:42 cargo,

27:43 you're paying a million dollars just for the insure

27:46 Alright. So this was all supposed to be taken care of with the American insurance scheme, and Trump

27:55 was gonna take care of it. I don't think this idea of, insurance prices breaking is any kind of a nefarious IRG they IRGC plot. They aren't that clever. I've served in that region twenty years, ma'am. I know these jokers sorry, these gentlemen, these people. So I don't think this is any part of any kind of devious plot. It just so happens that the western

28:14 insurers

28:15 panic whenever there is something there and hike their price. Everybody wants to make money out of this issue when they are

28:21 second to none. My own feeling is that if prices hike,

28:25 Donald Trump is going to ask his own insurance companies that you start providing coverage at lower rates and then you emasculate

28:32 the traditional Lloyd's register and all these other characters. You you drive them out of business. American companies take over. He's quite capable of doing this and I believe this is what is in his mind at this time. Yeah. That was what we heard.

28:45 But the DFC

28:47 apparently $40,000,000,000

28:49 program to reinsure these ships, give them haul and

28:54 cargo insurance.

28:56 I mean, I've I've looked at all the websites, you know, Chubb and all the Beasley,

29:00 all these got all they got is an email, like a Gmail address. Hey, if you want insurance, send an email to our Gmail.

29:06 So this thing is non non existent, but when you when you look at how the Lloyd's rates are determined, it gets interesting. Because they've been sitting there since the Iranian military made threats. But there's another factor, not just their security, their insurance

29:20 status. The Lloyd's market has something called a joint war committee, which assesses what it calls war related perils

29:28 for shipping. And they have expanded the area of what they consider to be high risk in the last few days to include Kuwait, Qatar, a wider area of The Gulf. And that simply means the insurance those ships set out with may no longer apply. So they insist they are insured,

29:43 but they're having to reassess the risk. Reinsurance

29:47 will come in due course, and then owners can decide whether to move their ships. For now,

29:53 they are static and traffic through the Straits Of Hormuz has collapsed.

29:57 What's going up is the cost, not just of shipping, but almost certainly the cost of ensuring these vessels. Premiums

30:05 will rise. There is an offer from Donald Trump made via social media that an American financial institution will offer insurance. But here, they don't know what that means. The detail of such a scheme hasn't been given to anyone so far as we know, and it will take time to work it out. And the appetite is unknown. Okay. So it's the joint war committee

30:24 that sits in London and determines

30:27 if if it's worth the risk. So it's hard to find out exactly who this they have 15 underwriters unnamed,

30:35 but they're advised by Herminius,

30:38 a private intelligence firm.

30:40 The

30:41 chairman of that is General Sir Patrick Sanders,

30:44 the former head of the British Army. He retired in 2024.

30:48 The president of this is Dominic Armstrong,

30:52 Aegis Defense Services, $400,000,000

30:54 a year private military contractor.

30:57 Nick Buzzvine,

30:59 officer of the British Empire,

31:02 twenty eight twenty nine years in the UK foreign office, Baghdad, chief of staff, EU counter piracy.

31:08 But the way it works is this,

31:10 the UK maritime

31:12 transit

31:13 office

31:15 posts on x and says, oh, oh, but looks like someone's firing on the ships. Then Hermeneus goes, well, boy, it's dangerous over there. The joint war committee, well, we're gonna list that area. Lloyd reprices, the ship stopped, gas prices rise, and just rinse and repeat.

31:32 So Trump and Besson, they've got to get this insurance thing going,

31:36 otherwise this is a never ending story.

31:39 And it was promised and I'm not seeing it.

31:43 Now that's that's what closes the Straits Of Hormuz, not some bogus

31:48 we're firing on our own oil tanker.

31:51 This whole thing stinks.

31:54 Yeah. It does stink. It's no good.

31:59 It's no good. Well, what how's he gonna get out of it is the is the issue? I I don't there's nothing to get out of. He doesn't need to get out of anything.

32:07 He needs to provide

32:08 the so the the Iranian

32:10 the way I understand it,

32:13 we are

32:14 blocking anyone who wants to go to Iranian ports.

32:18 But if you wanna go to UAE or Saudi Arabia, that's no problem.

32:22 And that seems to be working fine.

32:24 But when you get the insurance rate so high, nobody wants to do it because, you know, you have to have oil over a $100 to be able to really make the economics work of

32:34 of the insurance and even if these if these tolls are true or not, I don't know.

32:38 So he the way to get out of it is to get the insurance thing going.

32:43 If they can get that and then escort them, it's done. I don't believe these mines are there. That sounds pretty iffy.

32:49 These we forgot where we put them. Okay.

32:53 Well, that sounds sophisticated.

32:55 And these fast boats, oh, yeah. Alright. We can't blow those out of the water. Now this is I I think this is economic

33:02 what is it? Operation economic fury and they're behind the eight ball. And it's possible that nobody wants to do it.

33:09 Like, we don't like it.

33:11 Or screw you Trump, screw you Besson. I don't know. But that's that's the only that's the only thing that has to happen. There's no danger as far as I can tell for any ships.

33:24 Well, we'll find out within the next week or two when they're testing the the mine capabilities of the Of the untested untested minesweeper.

33:33 Don't they just have one of those ships with a big arm in the front and those chains Yeah. On

33:38 What happened to the old minesweeper?

33:39 Why would they use those? Do you remember do you remember Petticoat Junction?

33:44 And then there'd be like a mine in the water and it'd be a big metal ball with spikes on it. Petticoat Junction? Yeah. Do

33:51 you remember? Don't do you remember Petticoat Junction?

33:55 Yeah. The three girls in the in the water tank. No. Petticoat Junction was the the pink submarine.

34:01 No. No. No. Yes. Was. Operation Petticoat maybe.

34:06 What

34:07 was the TV series with the pink submarine from the seventies? Okay. I think I got him working again. Yes. I bought some credits. Let's see what that was. Book of Knowledge.

34:18 Oh, boy.

34:20 You're burning credits. Here we go. According to the Book of Knowledge,

34:24 television series was Operation Petticoat You're right. Which aired on ABC from 09/17/1977

34:31 until 10/16/1978

34:34 and featured a submarine that was painted pink after being forced to flee during a surprise attack attack before the repainting was complete creating

34:44 the adventures of the pink submarine with a gaggle of young women on board. There you go. Half right. Thus

34:50 No. It has been written. It wasn't even close. Well, you had the women. Well, the half part was the word petticoat.

34:56 And pink.

34:57 Pink.

34:58 Alright. Operation petticoat.

35:00 Invariably on every other episode of the show, there would be a mine floating right by the submarine and it would it would be floating in the ocean with spikes on it. The big spikes on it. So what kind of mines are they now? And we can't find them. Well, they're magnetic.

35:16 Yeah. Well,

35:17 but as far as I'm concerned,

35:19 Trump is right. Oh, I can just hear everyone going, hooray.

35:24 He's right. Apologizing

35:25 for Trump again. No. I'm defending him. I'm defending him for his six d go in chess. Six d six

35:33 dimensional

35:34 Go. Chess.

35:35 Yeah. Well, let's play these clips to get these out of the way. This is the NPR morning edition,

35:40 US Iran ceasefire,

35:43 which,

35:44 discusses some some elements we didn't discuss. What more can you tell us about the state of the blockade?

35:50 It's almost like there are two blockades as, you know, Iran controls the strait until some US or European or Asian minesweepers

35:59 can clear it and possibly escort

36:02 ships safely through.

36:04 And then for its turn, The US is blocking ships from exiting or entering Iranian ports and strangling Iran's economy. Right. Exactly. Blockades are an act of war, but in this case, they may be just part of pressure in these negotiations with Iran.

36:18 And yesterday at the Pentagon's news briefing, maybe this was aimed to do the same. Secretary of defense, Pete Hegsess, said that the blockade is the polite way things can go, and then he mentioned the other way which would be bombing Iran's civilian infrastructure,

36:33 power grids, which could certainly be a war crime but the president and Hexess have mentioned it repeatedly

36:39 in great detail. It's a war crime. He's going for war crimes. Twenty fifth amendment is ash.

36:46 Twenty fifth amendment is ash. I've I've looked at the documents. If you can't do this war crimes, war crimes. Can't do it. Can't do it. Oh. I'm getting there. Alrighty. Alright. Pretty good. Alright, Dvorak. What you got? Part two. Regardless, does this bode well for negotiations in a continued ceasefire?

37:03 The US is still building up forces in The Gulf. One carrier group, the Ford, has now broken the record for the longest rotation

37:09 since Vietnam

37:11 with nearly ten months at sea, and there are more troops underway to the region. But president Trump has said several times he thinks these negotiations are working, that it won't be necessary even to extend the ceasefire

37:23 with Iran that ends next week.

37:26 And it may help that Israel and Lebanon,

37:29 those two countries have announced a ten day ceasefire.

37:32 For Israel, Lebanon was always the second front

37:35 in their war with Iran. It's important to note that their war is really with the Iranian backed Shiite militia Hezbollah.

37:42 That was the shooting war with Israel.

37:44 Though to millions of Lebanese civilians caught in that shelling, they might not really care about that distinction.

37:49 But that was the objection from Iran that that war

37:53 had continued and when The US agreed to a ceasefire Israel kept on shelling.

37:57 This could help with The US Iranian ceasefire. Oh yeah. This this is an important sidetrack and after your your final clip in this series I wanna get to the Lebanon thing.

38:07 Okay. Play it. Now one thing that really struck me from many of Hegseth's comments on the war was the overtly religious nature of his remarks. Can you say more about that?

38:19 At these defense briefings throughout the course of this war, Hegseth has frequently

38:24 quoted scripture and specifically talked about Jesus Christ. Oh, no. Yesterday, he directly compared The US media's negative coverage of the war

38:32 with the pharisees in the New Testament persecuting I missed that. I need that clip people. Jesus and I'm not I have not

38:41 was he saying the

38:43 the media is like the pharisees? That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. With the pharisees in the New Testament persecuting Jesus. And I'm not paraphrasing. That's exactly what he said. I sat there

38:55 in church and I thought,

38:57 our press are just like these pharisees.

38:59 Oh, there it is. All of you?

39:01 Not all of you.

39:03 But the legacy

39:05 Trump hating press.

39:07 Wow. And this is just after president Trump got significant pushback from his own supporters for appearing

39:13 to compare himself to There

39:16 we go. Unlike any secretary of defense in memory, Hexath routinely talks in these religious terms.

39:22 And considering

39:23 that he oversees the Department of Defense,

39:26 these are terms that might alienate hundreds of thousands of US troops

39:30 who are Catholic or Jewish or Muslim, but it happens in almost every speech.

39:35 Why?

39:35 Oh no.

39:37 He's a Well, why would it offend

39:38 a Catholic? No. There's no reason for it to offend the Catholics. Why would it offend a Jew? They would they wouldn't the in fact, it's straight from the the Talmud.

39:50 Pharisees.

39:50 I I don't even know I would offend a Muslim, to be honest about it. The whole thing is corny

39:56 or something or No. It's You might question,

39:59 you know, what's the point, but honestly, I'm defending anybody.

40:03 This is I'm not gonna fight now. This is just another attack vector for the midterms. Oh, Christians, Trump is not your guy. He thinks he's Jesus.

40:13 That's what this is. And that that image, the whole thing that was and it was tricky.

40:18 That was that was actually an AI thing that that got legs and fooled a lot of people.

40:23 A lot of people I know like fooled.

40:25 Because there were so many different versions of it by the time it went viral.

40:30 Who did fool? I mean, what would you mean by fool? Oh, there were a lot of Christians I know who are like, why is he depicting himself as Jesus?

40:39 That's

40:40 that they were fooled into thinking Well, that's a question then, not a being they weren't well, how were they fooled?

40:47 Be well, because

40:48 that was not his original image.

40:52 They got versions that were not the original image.

40:58 Does that that makes not make sense to you, what I'm saying? No, not really.

41:02 Okay.

41:03 So

41:04 if the

41:06 There's a bunch of different images and

41:08 Yeah. And so everybody thought I saw the one that he retweeted. It looked pretty much like,

41:13 you know, look like a Jesus image to me.

41:16 Weak. No. It didn't. It didn't at all.

41:20 He's things grow grow he's got glowing hands and he's healing somebody.

41:24 He's raising someone from the dead. Okay. Well, then you fell for the narrative. I I didn't see that in any I didn't fall for anything. Did you see the jets and the helicopters and the hellfire in the back? I saw all that. It was all in the background. And that that fits with Jesus for you?

41:39 No. I'm I'm saying the the the picture of him Yeah. With the glowing hands and raising someone from the dead,

41:46 the rest of it was just, you know, just decorative.

41:50 Okay. Well I didn't care one way or the other. Just thought it was funny.

41:54 Exactly.

41:56 Well, wasn't fooled.

41:57 Well, you're not a Christian.

41:59 I'm not not a Christian. Well, don't know about that. I'm not not not like a born again is what you're saying.

42:06 Not an evangelical.

42:07 No. That's for sure.

42:10 Okay.

42:12 But I wasn't fooled by that image. I mean, was just a it was just another Trump escapade. Let me put it this way. Were you fooled into

42:19 you weren't fooled because you didn't take any offense to it.

42:23 You weren't told to take offense to it because he's Jesus.

42:28 The media I just thought it was I just thought it was

42:32 mildly humorous. Exactly. Not even yeah. Mildly

42:36 on the on the less mildly side. Exactly.

42:39 But it It wasn't wasn't it wasn't hilarious.

42:41 Right. But the fooling part is social media and the media telling everybody to get upset about

42:47 Trump's pretending to be Jesus.

42:50 I mean Yeah. This just shows he's insane. Yeah. There and there it is. Okay. That's the point.

42:57 Now let's go to someone who's really insane.

42:59 Rohanah.

43:01 Rokahana,

43:02 who showed up this morning on ABC. We're joined now by Democratic congressman Rokahana of California.

43:08 Thank you for being here. Really appreciate Always good to be here. So I know you've obviously been adamantly opposed to this war in the first place. What what do you make of this latest development though? Another round of peace talks?

43:19 Well, they said they wanted By the way, the troll room actually had a very good point.

43:24 Someone just posted

43:26 Obama

43:27 as Jesus

43:28 that the democrats all love. Oh, yeah. No. There was a ton of those. Yeah. There's a whole bunch of those. And that No. There's a whole collection of Obama as Jesus. And that and that was okay. No. That was okay. Yeah. It was okay. Alright.

43:39 Well, they said, they wanna escalate to de escalate.

43:44 They've escalated to devastation.

43:46 I mean, you have the pope

43:48 lecturing America. This

43:51 is the The hell did he say? You have okay. He's trying to Rohanahana.

43:56 Rohanah is trying to tell everybody that to vote Democrat in the midterms. That's the only reason he's here. And he's now saying it is so bad. It is so bad in America that the pope is telling us it's so bad. Escalate

44:11 to de escalate.

44:12 They've escalated to devastation.

44:15 I mean, you have the pope

44:16 lecturing America

44:18 about possible war crimes. You have the president as you point At

44:22 no point did I see the Trump the the Trump the pope

44:26 lecture

44:27 America that about war crimes.

44:30 I didn't see that. So anyway, this this is this is No. He just said Ted, is normal

44:35 war is bad and you guys are assholes? Yes. That's

44:38 What? That's what you do. No doubt. What you do. Threatening to destroy all power plants.

44:42 I didn't think we would get ever get to that point. You have the Strait Of Hormuz that is now blocked. This never happened No. Before the war. What have we achieved? Gas is up from $2.30

44:52 to $4.

44:54 You have now Iran having a more hardline regime as we just heard, and all our allies like UAE being hit.

45:00 I mean, we've created devastation, and we're being lectured by the pope. But

45:05 Let let me ask you. You're by the pope at the war. Hold on a second.

45:10 You know, Roe Conner, he's part of the of the squad. You know that. Yes. You've told. He's actually the male member of the squad. Yes.

45:18 Yeah. They're all bunch of atheists.

45:20 Yeah. Yeah. So

45:22 And so they're talking about the you know, I don't like, you know, hearing a bunch of atheists.

45:27 All of a sudden, now the pope's a big big shot. Go on.

45:31 Make it make a get on board one way. But the whole the whole point is, hello, Christians, vote Democrat. That's the point. You've called the war, I think I have this correct, the biggest blunder

45:43 in American foreign policy in the twenty first century.

45:46 If

45:47 this gets to a resolution That's right. I mean, if they actually and I know that's a big if.

45:52 But if they actually get to a resolution where Iran has given up its nuclear program

45:58 and,

45:58 you know, there is there is a peace deal, maybe even a peace deal with Lebanon,

46:02 are you prepared to revise that and say that they actually got something out of it and it wasn't a blunter?

46:07 If we actually achieve something, but the enriched uranium is still there. We have a more hard line regime there. Khamenei junior actually wants to develop nuclear weapons. Uh-huh. Does anyone believe that we actually have more leverage of the the Strait Of Hormuz? We have less. China has more influence

46:22 in Iran, and we've lost our entire moral credibility.

46:25 We have a president of The United States threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization,

46:30 and people think it's normal? Yeah. Okay. So now we're back to kind of he's demented.

46:35 But this is where it got interesting

46:36 and this is about Israel. Let me ask you about Israel. Oh, wait. Were one of forty forty

46:41 I mean,

46:43 you're not in the senate, but there were 40 senate Democrats who voted to halt

46:47 the the the sale of military equipment to Israel. Something you agreed with clearly.

46:53 Is the Democratic Party no longer a pro Israeli party?

46:58 We're a party that believes in two states and peace, but let me tell you what we're not for. We're not for aid to Israel. They've got a 45,000,000,000

47:05 defense budget. Why are we giving them money? Why aren't we providing it for health care here? Why aren't we providing it for child care here? By the way, that's not just a issue on the Democratic party. You look at Republican voters under 50, they agree with me. And then you look at what the devastation was in Gaza.

47:21 Why aren't we doing the Arab Peace Plan, which by by the way, the UAE UAE foreign minister has supported of two states. You have a Palestinian state and a which is demilitarized and an Israeli state. That's what we are for. We should be for peace and we should be for justice in that region. Okay. This is I thought this was interesting because first he throws out a number which I wasn't aware of, $45,000,000,000

47:44 defense budget. As far as I know, the US government gives $3,800,000,000

47:49 annually

47:50 to Israel and they have to use it to buy American gear. And that's Right. So it comes right back to us. Right. That's about three weeks of snap benefits, just to put it into perspective.

47:59 But what's interesting is that the left

48:03 and the right

48:05 are now converging

48:07 on this one topic of Israel. And I don't know you I'm not gonna play the whole thing because it's, you know, two minutes and forty five seconds, but it's this kind of super cut back and forth between your boy Fuentes,

48:20 What's it? Nick Fuentes and

48:22 Anna Kasperian

48:24 from Yeah. Know. This is hilarious. From Young Turks. And and but this says it all. This is exactly what's happening with young people in America across the political spectrum. The question is, where will they find a home if they even care? Our country is under a hostile

48:39 occupation.

48:40 Israeli occupation of the United States government. Israel controls our government. Israel controls our government. Control

48:47 and influence

48:48 and manipulate our system.

48:50 Ruled and controlled and manipulated

48:53 by the nation state of Israel. They are vampires.

48:56 They suck our blood. They suck the life out of this country.

49:01 We cannot

49:03 be slaves to Israel. I'm not a slave to Israel. Iran

49:07 does not have a nuclear weapon.

49:11 Iran did not have a nuclear arsenal.

49:13 The supreme leader of Iran promulgated a.

49:17 He had put out a

49:19 against nuclear weapons. We had to join Israel's

49:23 war of choice.

49:24 A war of choice.

49:26 That's what this is. The real threat to America is from Israel.

49:30 Our alliance with Israel as an exist ential threat to The United States. It will nuke the entire world. Israel is the biggest threat to world peace. Let us never forget who the real enemy is.

49:43 The enemy is Israel.

49:45 We need to decouple from this country. We need to

49:49 How does this happen, John?

49:51 This is Well, I have to get you know, I've I have that clip too. Oh. I didn't post it. But, it's you should have played the whole thing. It's hilarious.

50:00 But

50:01 it it's almost as though they either she listens to him

50:05 or I mean, whoever put that together,

50:09 I my hat's off.

50:11 Yeah. And That is a beautiful supercut

50:14 of the extreme

50:16 right, which is Fuentes,

50:18 you know, complete

50:19 right I mean, he's America first extreme right winger,

50:24 an extreme left

50:25 and a Kisparian.

50:27 Mhmm. And they're saying the exact same thing about one topic,

50:31 and it's phenomenal.

50:32 It's it it's I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

50:36 And I know where this winds up. I mean, death to Jews. I mean, that's that's where that's where this always winds up. This is not new.

50:44 You know, we've we've seen this for two thousand years or more.

50:48 But Ro Ro Khanna

50:50 comes back and he throws in a little bit more of that bogus New York Times article which is based on zero evidence. But that seemed to be a a big moment to see

51:01 the vast majority of Democrats in the senate say no more military sales right now to to Israel. What they said is no more bulldozers.

51:09 A good idea. Let's let them buy from the Russians. Yeah. That's or the Chinese maybe. A good idea. Yeah. Let them buy from the Russians and the Chinese. That's a better idea. Shout out to senate. Say no more military sales right now to to Israel. Well, what they said is no more bulldozers

51:24 that are destroying Palestinian villages. No more bulldozer. Are they buying bull is John Deere doing business in Israel? Is this Caterpillar. Caterpillar? Yes. It's unjust.

51:34 I mean, the young people in this country when I met Netanyahu

51:37 years ago, I said to him,

51:39 mister prime minister, you may have won the battle. You've lost the war because you've lost the next generation in America.

51:45 We don't think you're acting morally. We have a sense that people in Palestine, they deserve justice. They deserve a state. And, yes, we need to have a secure Israel, but not in Israel led by Netanyahu

51:56 who killed 70,000

51:58 people in Gaza.

51:59 Not in Israel that is going to be raining bombs in Beirut and not a prime minister sitting in our situation room. Let me tell you what a democratic I love this because, you know, this again, no pictures, no evidence. This was a New York Times article that came out of the blue that said, yeah, Netanyahu was sitting at the head of the table and Trump was just licking his heels. He was just subservient to him.

52:21 No.

52:22 Gaza, not an Israel that is going to be raining bombs in Beirut and not a prime minister sitting in our situation Room. Let me tell you what a democratic president's never gonna do. An Israeli prime minister is not gonna be sitting in our Situation room telling the American president what to do. Only Americans will be in that situation room. You went further than even most of your Democratic colleagues. You called for a stop

52:46 of funding for defensive weapons to Iran, including Iron Dome. Iran. Something you had support. Remember, you and I spoke about it on this show not all that long ago. You said it was something in protecting not just Israelis, but also Palestinians.

53:00 I am for the Iron Dome technology. I'm glad UAE has it. I'm glad Israelis Well, you don't think that we should give it to Israel anymore. Why? Why why can't they afford it with $45,000,000,000?

53:08 Even Rahm Emanuel agrees with me. I mean,

53:11 Even

53:12 Rahm Emanuel

53:13 agrees with me. It's a Jew. So Jews says it's gotta be right. Richest countries in the world. They have health care for all their people. Why aren't we putting that money in our communities for our jobs? Do I want them to have iron Absolutely. I want any country to to have Iron Dome to protect their, citizens. But the free ride is over. They're not going to be, to getting American tax dollars and they're certainly not gonna be dictating to the American president. The American president will call the shot. Yeah. I should just put it in perspective again. $3,800,000,000

53:42 is almost a rounding error with the debt that we have. So but

53:47 against better judgment and I think a rule, do want to play forty seven seconds of Susan Cokinda

53:54 because she summed it up very nicely.

53:57 With Iran gone,

53:59 with the threat gone,

54:01 it is actually going to get rid of Netanyahu,

54:03 which I think everybody agrees that guy is a douche and a problem. And I don't think anyone is defending Netanyahu,

54:10 but it's over for him. Now let's turn to Israel, and this is the part that makes the Tucker Candace analysis collapse entirely.

54:18 They looked at Trump bombing Iran and said he's doing Netanyahu's

54:21 bidding. Well, here's what that misses.

54:24 Netanyahu

54:25 needed Iran.

54:26 A permanent Iranian threat was the justification

54:29 for a permanent emergency government. It kept the secular Palestinian authority weak.

54:35 It kept the two state solution buried, and it kept Likud in power.

54:39 Before October 7, Netanyahu's government actually funded Hamas through Qatar

54:44 precisely because they didn't want a governing secular Palestinian

54:49 partner.

54:50 They wanted to keep the threat alive and keep the game in play. Trump did not do Netanyahu's

54:55 bidding. He took Netanyahu's

54:57 leverage away. Those are opposite things. Yeah. Exactly.

55:01 So Netanyahu will be out soon enough. That's why Trump is just trying to be nice. I give the guy a pardon.

55:07 He's not gonna get a pardon.

55:09 He's toast.

55:12 So what do you do? Are you are you flossing your teeth? Oh, I'm sorry.

55:16 Are you flossing? Are you are you flossing on There this

55:20 will be no flossing on this show. I'm sorry. You were, weren't you? Was

55:24 it one of those mouth harp things?

55:27 Yeah. That's I just saw it laying there. Said,

55:29 maybe I should floss while Adam's giving his analysis. This is a floss free zone.

55:35 Okay.

55:39 Busted.

55:42 You're funny. You're funny. Alright. Let's go to some other topic. Yeah. Good idea.

55:46 What you got? Well, I I got a couple of screwball things here I wanna get out of the way. This one of this Canadian stuff, this maid thing is getting on everyone's nerves. Oh, like, kill you? You're killing people off left and right. Some woman goes in with a broken leg and they give her they execute

56:03 her.

56:04 Oh, that's nice. You're basically executing people in Canada, left and right, to save money. Indians are sold this idea that medical assistance in dying, acronym MAID, is all about compassion and choice. But the more stories that come out, the clearer it becomes. This isn't compassion.

56:19 It's coercion disguised as health care. And with an aging boomer population,

56:24 the government has stopped hiding the real motive. This is state sanctioned euthanasia

56:29 designed to reduce burden and save millions in health care costs.

56:33 Seniors showing up for back pain are being offered lethal injections in the emergency room. Families are watching their loved ones get steered toward death instead of real care, and the system is literally falsifying

56:46 death certificates

56:47 to hide the real toll.

56:49 Today, I'm pulling the most powerful comments from my conversation with Amanda Actman,

56:54 founder of Dying2MeetU

56:56 and ethics director for Canadian Physicians for Life because her frontline work exposing this nightmare needs to be heard everywhere.

57:05 This is how Canada went from exceptional

57:07 circumstances

57:08 to

57:09 one in twenty deaths by lethal injection.

57:12 Let's hear it from Amanda just how tragic the normalization of euthanasia

57:16 has become. It is really devastating because, personally, I am hearing from seniors constantly

57:22 about how they are being met with suggestions of death rather than offers of

57:28 health care. And I travel across Canada.

57:31 Most recently, I was Wait a minute. Ho ho ho ho ho.

57:35 Killing people is considered health care in the modern parlance.

57:41 Abortion is known as women's health care.

57:44 Yeah. So I think killing people is fair to say that's health care. Yeah. This is typical. By the way, this is the, you know, liberals have always been trying to kill

57:54 Grand population.

57:56 Yeah. And this is like, okay. We got a bunch of olds. We got a bunch of boomers. Yeah. Get rid of costing us money because they go in, like, I can't imagine what it costs to have my double bypass and the government paid for it. That's right. And and he's gotta go back for more maintenance. Kill that guy. Yeah. So I got more maintenance to do. This is expensive.

58:14 Yes. And they're but every time they pump, you know, pump the thing around your arm to get your blood pressure, they they bill the government $10,

58:21 know, over 20 or 100. Yes. Rokahana should not be moaning and groaning about health care by by cutting corners on Israel. And so there's So the idea is, well, screw these old guys.

58:33 Let's just kill them. Yeah. Constantly

58:36 about how they are being met with suggestions of death rather than offers of

58:41 healthcare.

58:42 And I travel across Canada,

58:44 most recently I was visiting Vancouver Island and that really is the epicentre of

58:50 euthanasia.

58:51 It is the euthanasia capital

58:53 most precisely as a region. Nice. And very often I was hearing

58:58 of so many people who are shattered by the loss of their friends and neighbors to euthanasia,

59:04 given how ubiquitous it is there, and so it didn't take long to receive these stories

59:08 of seniors who, even upon arrival to a hospital

59:12 or upon going to see their family doctor, were met with the suggestions that maybe they would be better off dead. And who confessed their doctor in that climate? It's just crushing. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, if they had asked me, so what do you think is a better idea? Should we bring Dvorak back and and burden society

59:30 with 100, maybe a million dollars worth of health care, or should we just kill him?

59:35 Yeah. I mean, I I know Darren and a couple other people would be like, yeah, but kill him is better. Oh, yeah. So they can get the show. Yes. Of course. Kill him. Much better. These aren't fringe cases. Yeah. This is the would you be can you they mentioned at the beginning at the top of this report, somebody goes in for a for a COVID shot or a flu shot, and they say, you sure you want a flu shot? We get we can kill you.

1:00:03 Is it really like that? It must be. I bet it is.

1:00:06 Here's an option. It's just what what, what outlet is this? Where'd you get these clips from? This is pretty good. These come from? These I think this came from NPR. That's good. These aren't fringe cases anymore. This is everyday medical care in parts of Canada.

1:00:20 And when you have a story like 84 year old Miriam Lancaster

1:00:24 Killer. Who proves the whole compassionate

1:00:26 last resort line

1:00:27 is a lie. I am 84 years old,

1:00:30 and a year ago,

1:00:32 an amazing thing happened. When I got out of bed one morning, I was suddenly in excruciating

1:00:37 pain, so much so that my daughter came running in from another room, she called an ambulance, off I went to the Vancouver General Hospital

1:00:46 and I was approached by a young lady doctor

1:00:50 who the very first words out of her mouth is, we would like to offer you maid. I was taken aback. That was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to find out why I was in pain. I did not want to die and I was a month in hospital

1:01:05 Wow. Came home and recuperated

1:01:08 nicely enough that I could take some trips. Off I went last year to Cuba,

1:01:13 before the problems today in Cuba,

1:01:15 and then this just recently,

1:01:18 I have been to Mexico

1:01:20 and Guatemala.

1:01:21 So my recovery has been amazing

1:01:25 and there was no need for MAID to even be suggested. We all have experiences where we ebb and flow in

1:01:32 our wellness and in our real need, and so for Miriam, she came upon this time of need, and after a month, she recuperated

1:01:40 and, as you mentioned, was able to go and do all of these travels to Mexico, Cuba, and Guatemala. And in fact, she's traveling again right now, even as her story is going viral. It's been picked up by tons of outlets around the world, translated into other languages,

1:01:55 and people love the story because life wins. People love stories of resilience and hope. We are not made for death. We are not made for the defeat of euthanasia.

1:02:05 And I am convinced, and I have hope, that this is not going to last. So I'm constantly exhorting

1:02:10 the seniors, especially to whom I speak, don't go down this path. You deserve so much better,

1:02:16 and I'm gonna be fighting for you as much as I can. Yes. Come to America,

1:02:21 you know, south of your border,

1:02:23 and Jesus Trump will heal you.

1:02:26 You don't need to die. Our president will just touch you,

1:02:30 make you all better.

1:02:32 Is that clip one or clip two? That was two. The third one is your kicker.

1:02:36 Yeah. The kicker. This is really pathetic.

1:02:39 Alberta showing some spine is great, but the federal machine is still cooking the books to hide how big

1:02:45 this thing really is. Amanda breaks down the death certificate changes that falsify

1:02:51 MAID data.

1:02:52 Wait a minute. So they're killing people, but they're ashamed of it?

1:02:57 That's odd. Well, they don't like the those numbers. You know? It's we did they officially, it's one out of twenty deaths in Canada's from euthanasia.

1:03:06 Wow. But it might be

1:03:07 three out of twenty, but it's a little too high. It's gonna get attention.

1:03:12 Let's cook the books. This is what socialism

1:03:15 always brings you, people. Trust me. I'm glad that you use the word changes because this is a change, and it marks a departure

1:03:22 from,

1:03:23 original policy perspectives.

1:03:25 I'd like to point out that an excellent investigative reporter,

1:03:29 Alexander Rakin,

1:03:30 published a study called From Exceptional to Routine, and this was published by the think tank Cardis.

1:03:37 And in this study, he cites the 2017 Health Canada recommendation

1:03:41 that death certificates

1:03:43 state the immediate cause of death as the toxicity of the drugs administered

1:03:49 for the purposes of a medically administered

1:03:51 death.

1:03:52 That's the recommendation.

1:03:54 And yet, with the Ontario

1:03:56 College of Physicians and Surgeons,

1:03:58 we're seeing that when completing a medical certificate of death for a person to whom MAID has been administered,

1:04:05 the protocol, the recommendation is that the illness, disease, or disability leading to the request is to be recorded as the cause of death, and the certificate

1:04:14 cannot include any reference to MAID or the medications

1:04:18 administered.

1:04:19 This is quite simply the falsification

1:04:22 of medical records,

1:04:23 the falsification of death certificates.

1:04:25 This

1:04:26 matters because it undermines reporting,

1:04:29 it cuts

1:04:31 out the opportunity

1:04:32 to have recourse to review and scrutiny of these deaths,

1:04:37 and it minimizes the paper trail because the data of MAID deaths is still collected and reported nationally by Health Canada, but without this second layer of accountability on death certificates to corroborate

1:04:51 the death numbers,

1:04:52 there is a gap potentially

1:04:54 in the data. Why don't they just,

1:04:57 do what we do in America? We can just, you just get some, some some pills through the mail. Kill yourself.

1:05:04 I'm surprised, you know, that that they could move to that. They should.

1:05:08 That's the way to you know, so this brings me to a clip that I just happened to I didn't know if it was ever gonna fit in.

1:05:15 I think you sent it you sent it to me. Got it from a lot of different people.

1:05:18 I got an email this morning from Dame Angela in Nevada.

1:05:22 And she's a she I mean, she's really she's a bigwig now. I think it's MGM Entertainment or one of one of like really one of the big ones.

1:05:30 And her boss

1:05:32 said, hey, you know, my daughter wants to go study in Amsterdam, wants to go to university in Amsterdam. So she's asking me like,

1:05:39 can you give me your opinion? And and of course, my immediate opinion would be, is she nuts?

1:05:44 What why? Why do why would she want to go to what what vision has she been given? And I realized that young people have been so psyoped in The United States

1:05:55 about how bad it is here and how horrible it is

1:06:00 that they think it's better to go somewhere else. And you pretty much can't go to any other country in the world unless you're from Africa or Ukraine, but certainly not the EU countries or UK.

1:06:10 So you can't get in. There's no visa for you. It's not going to happen ever. But yeah, I think you can do it as a student visa.

1:06:17 Which brings me to this clip of this Dutch guy who had like his own emergency pod.

1:06:22 Emergency pod. There's something really bad. Listen to what's happening in Holland.

1:06:27 This is an emergency SOS call from The Netherlands.

1:06:31 All hope is lost. Please save us.

1:06:34 I'm calling on the international community to do something about the extreme disease that is in charge of The Netherlands.

1:06:40 Just tonight,

1:06:42 our parliament

1:06:43 discussed a new law that will allow two men to donate DNA material to create a joint embryo out of two men, meaning a child born of two men,

1:06:54 and will also allow a single person to mate with themselves to produce a self fertilized

1:07:00 egg,

1:07:02 and then create a child with only one biological parent.

1:07:06 This comes after The Netherlands legalized gay marriage, after we have the first gay prime minister, minister, after we invented the Dutch protocol,

1:07:14 which is an unscientific,

1:07:15 unproven way of castrating a man and then giving him a fake vagina with tissue from out of his ass. I'm not kidding about that. We're allowing euthanasia of children from ages 12 and up, and 16 and seven year olds can have themselves euthanized without their parental consent.

1:07:30 We are also allowing under the Groningen protocol,

1:07:33 the euthanasia of children up to one years old. So if you don't like your child, can get rid of it after it's been born. Of course, we have abortion up to birth. Right? We have oh, we have the first the world's first pedophile party taking part in our elections.

1:07:47 My god. I I

1:07:49 can't do this anymore. I

1:07:52 wasn't born to grow up in this Sodom and Gomorrah of the world.

1:07:56 I am of the opinion that this country needs to be vaporized, and I hereby call upon president Donald Trump, on president Putin of Russia, and the Ayatollah of Iran to point your nuclear rockets at this country and blast it to shits.

1:08:09 Away with this. This cannot heal without first bombing it to the ground. I had to look into that. It's true. If you don't like your kid up until one year old, you can this this kid's no good. It's crying. It's colic.

1:08:21 Get rid of it. You can kill that kid. I didn't know that. I I did look into the pedophile party. Also true.

1:08:28 Yeah. Three members.

1:08:30 Well, okay. But it's Total of three members. It did get on the ballot and they got 1,000 votes. I think that's bigger. That who But but still, three members. I don't know. Yeah. But still,

1:08:42 you know, yeah. If you're 16 years old and you you don't feel good, just kill me.

1:08:47 So these countries are no good. If you live in America, you are blessed.

1:08:52 Blessed, I tell you. You have no idea. Think it's bad here. Ugh.

1:08:58 Okay. Well, there's something I think that that she wants to go study in Amsterdam because

1:09:04 it's the old vision of the old days where they, you people the coffee shops and people smoking pot. Yeah. It's long gone. Everybody's, you know, grooving and it was cool. It's long gone. Long gone.

1:09:18 Long gone.

1:09:19 Alright. So I did a little diving on

1:09:23 on Swalwell.

1:09:24 This this thing bothered me. Swalwell. Swalwell.

1:09:28 It bothered me. I was thinking to get one couple more clips, but I decided to get No. I I got some interesting stuff. Just a little refresher

1:09:35 that the entire senate

1:09:38 and and house of representatives is rife with all kinds of,

1:09:42 lawsuits and hush money,

1:09:45 you know, because people are just super annoyed

1:09:49 with each other and who knows what's going on. But, you know, this is the $17,000,000

1:09:55 that has come out of the treasury for us to pay

1:09:59 hush money to people who work in congress who were harassed,

1:10:03 sexually abused, whatever. What's unfortunate about all of this to me though, Anderson, let's just put the politics to the side. There's been over $17,000,000,

1:10:11 roughly $17,000,000,

1:10:12 in payouts from members of congress on both sides

1:10:15 to keep quiet sexual

1:10:17 assault. I believe Nancy Mace out of South Carolina had a bill, think, a month ago that she attempted to get passed in congress to reveal who are these members who have paid out

1:10:27 after being

1:10:29 alleged to have had inappropriate relations with their staff members, and congress voted against disclosing who those members are and and were if some of them are now out of congress. Just imagine that taxpayer dollars

1:10:42 paying to cover up this type of atrocious behavior by the representatives

1:10:46 that we elect,

1:10:48 to serve our interest. It just doesn't

1:10:50 make any sense to me. It falls below

1:10:53 despicable.

1:10:54 And I'm saying this as a conservative. I don't look at this as a right or a left thing. I have a one year old daughter now.

1:11:00 And and to me, when I think about powerful men doing things against women who are subordinate to them, who can't really defend themselves, who may be afraid to speak up because they don't want to lose their jobs. And then our elected officials on both sides had an opportunity to say, you know what? We're not gonna stand for this anymore. That's great. We're going to disclose the names. We're no longer gonna pay out to protect powerful people, and they decided to bury it.

1:11:24 Yeah. Just imagine that, Anderson. In what universe would a moral society say that that is acceptable, that that is okay? No. This is not

1:11:32 moral. This whole place is not moral.

1:11:35 But then I go looking for the story because it showed up in the I think this is San Francisco Chronicle?

1:11:42 Probably. Yeah. That's the story that that got the ball roll ball rolling to take down Swalwell.

1:11:47 But this but this really started with three women on TikTok and

1:11:54 they so they they were on this, I think it was a podcast,

1:11:57 and they were talking about how this went down and it's fascinating,

1:12:02 particularly the kicker clip. So how did you get involved in the Swal Wolf story?

1:12:07 I

1:12:08 really, it was just an accident because I coming from the education world, I don't know diddly squat about

1:12:14 DC or politics or whatever really, like other than like what we know from civics class but Mhmm. Unfortunately,

1:12:20 I saw behind the curtain really quickly and was starting to be told these horrible stories of like,

1:12:27 Swalwell and, you know, I Yeah. Posted with him and thinking he was a normal man and he was not. I was warned that he was not a safe person, that he Yeah. Had done bad things to people that I know and people that I care about. Okay. He's not a safe person. It seems like she was told by somebody and not just her, but there was a whole group chat of people who were told about this. Describe to us how this all came together. Take us to the Woodward and Bernstein of it all, if you will. Oh, it's Woodward and Bernstein now. Okay. Yes. I mean, it is really crazy and Annika has now come public. She's was on CBS.

1:13:04 Yes.

1:13:05 Oh, we're influencers now. We're on CBS.

1:13:08 So Cheyenne

1:13:11 oh my word. I mean, so I didn't know Cheyenne at all, actually. I had posted as you saw, and I was kind of, like, acting a little crazy for a few weeks. And I got to the point where I was like, I'm banging my head against the wall here. Yeah.

1:13:24 Hitting a dead end, I think, that CNN had hit before

1:13:28 '16 and then again in 2019.

1:13:30 Mhmm. So I

1:13:31 I got a text message saying, do you know a Cheyenne?

1:13:35 I heard that she might be posting tomorrow.

1:13:38 Another just text message out of the blue. Hey, do you know Cheyenne? You know, she she might be posting posting something something tomorrow. Tomorrow. This is such a great op. I literally ran around my house like I won the Super Bowl. I was like, we're gonna get him. We're gonna get him. Somebody else is coming.

1:13:53 Like Paul Revere and I

1:13:56 Paulina Revere. Uh-huh. We ended up all in a group chat and just it was so funny every day to see the new conspiracy theory or what the new people in DC were saying, like, who this was that was behind this. Because people were like, you're a manga, you're being financed by Roger Stone. Meanwhile, you were like, girl, who is Roger Stone? And then they were like, you're actually lying because you don't know who Roger Stone is. And I'm like,

1:14:20 name the state superintendent of Oklahoma, like, don't know that.

1:14:23 Okay. So here's the kicker.

1:14:25 This was clearly

1:14:28 a setup from

1:14:30 congress.

1:14:31 Maybe this might be a Schumer op, but listen to this. All of the women who have now come out, once they realized they were not the only one, we continue to see more and more coming. And three women in a group chat who said, we've got independent sources,

1:14:46 text messages, receipts,

1:14:48 medical information,

1:14:50 verified

1:14:51 from a sitting congressperson and a chief of staff. Baby,

1:14:55 you cannot sit here and look in this camera and just because you think you're sincere

1:14:59 that we're supposed to think the same thing. You're right. The hubris was absolutely on eleven.

1:15:04 Where is the media on this story?

1:15:08 This is gold.

1:15:10 They got it from a senior senior congressperson,

1:15:13 chief of staff.

1:15:14 Who did this?

1:15:20 What do you mean by that? Well You mean who who's behind the the Yeah. Yeah.

1:15:25 I have no idea. But there's they know. Pelosi has to be. You know, I got a DM from Christine Pelosi.

1:15:35 Asking for money. On X.

1:15:37 It was the oddest thing. It's like, can I DM? Can I ask you a question? I'm like, sure. I'm like, is this really yeah. I look at her account. Yeah. It's really her.

1:15:47 And she's like, oh, I'm doing some really big podcasts and I could really use your support and a vote. I'm like, okay. So this is just some douchebag

1:15:55 who got some list like, oh, Curry, he's a podcaster. Yeah. Let's ask him. I was hoping it was her.

1:16:02 Oh. Yeah. Anyway,

1:16:05 I think I think that I find that interesting

1:16:08 that it came from a senior,

1:16:11 from a chief of staff

1:16:13 and a a senior

1:16:15 member of congress. Come on. Let's find out who.

1:16:20 And what else do they gotta find out. It's done. Yeah. What else do they have? What else do they have? The story's over.

1:16:28 They got rid of him. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's done.

1:16:32 So in the middle of the night,

1:16:34 they tried to

1:16:37 renew

1:16:38 section seven zero two of FISA.

1:16:43 Our fantastic news media, don't think reported on it.

1:16:48 FISA being the foreign intelligence

1:16:51 surveillance

1:16:52 Surveillance. Yeah. Yeah.

1:16:54 And section seven zero two is very controversial because it allows

1:17:01 people with access to the system to also look into Americans,

1:17:06 that's a warrantless surveillance.

1:17:09 Although you can go to a special secret judge,

1:17:12 the FISA court judge, and get a warrant.

1:17:16 But this is what has been used.

1:17:18 What was it? Admiral Rogers? Was that the guy who blew it wide open

1:17:22 during Obama, The I guy who was headed to the NSA for a NSA. Yeah. He said, hey, man. We got consultants,

1:17:28 all kinds of people looking into this stuff. And it's not just,

1:17:32 you know, it's not just your name, it's it's the content. So all I think what everyone should know if you don't, that everything you put on your phone is in some system that the NSA can access. It's all there. They've been doing that since the was it the

1:17:49 late nineties, that AT And T Building in San Francisco? Was that late nineties? That that was

1:17:54 that was one place, but the big storage is in Colorado. Yeah. That where they yes. Where they have the huge data center, liquid cooled machines

1:18:02 where they're storing all of your data. And it's there, so they're not looking at it. But when they want to, they can tell me, let's go look and see what your data They can look at it when they want to. Pretty much. And so But they don't want to most of the time.

1:18:16 Johnson tried to ramrod this through at 11:30 at night and failed. Mister speaker, are you kidding me?

1:18:24 Who the hell is running this place?

1:18:27 A five year reauthorization.

1:18:29 Five years.

1:18:30 And Republicans threw it together on the back of a napkin in a backroom in the middle of the night.

1:18:36 There have been real bipartisan

1:18:38 discussions about adding civil liberties and safeguards.

1:18:42 Some members support them, some oppose them, but just about everyone agrees that this is serious stuff,

1:18:49 the kind of debate that congress ought to have in the open.

1:18:54 Instead, Republican leadership just jammed us.

1:18:57 Does anybody actually know what the hell is in this thing?

1:19:02 It is 11:30

1:19:03 at night.

1:19:05 The bill was changed just minutes ago. Just minutes ago. And they are and they had a poster corrected version already.

1:19:13 I mean, that is how sloppy all of this is.

1:19:16 And the distinguished ranking member of the committee on the judiciary, mister Raskin.

1:19:21 Question is on ordering the previous question on the amendment and on the resolution. Those in favor, say aye. Aye. Those opposed, say no. No. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Did you Yeah. Did you hear that? Yeah. He's like, those in favor say aye. Aye. Those say no. No. There was no. And the oh, in the opinion of the chair,

1:19:40 I would say the ayes have it. Well, we wanna count And on the resolution, those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed, say no. No.

1:19:46 In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Mister speaker,

1:19:50 I ask for the yeas and nays and a hearing aid.

1:19:55 The yeas and hearing and aid. Those favoring a vote by the yeas and nays will rise. A sufficient number having risen, the yeas and nays are ordered.

1:20:04 On this vote, the yeas are one ninety seven, the nays are two twenty eight. Resolution is not adopted. Yeah. Good job, Mike. Tried to ramrod it through. I'm against this personally.

1:20:14 And here's one more clip. Senator Ron Wyden,

1:20:18 gives us a little bit of stats. And there's some interesting numbers here and and I

1:20:23 I know what your question probably will be when it comes to percentages, so I looked that up for you. For years,

1:20:29 there have been jaw dropping abuses of section seven zero two.

1:20:34 Government officials have searched through seven zero two data to find Black Lives Matter protesters,

1:20:40 political campaign donors, elected officials, even a state judge

1:20:45 who complained about police abuses.

1:20:48 Opponents of reforms say that the problems with the law have been fixed,

1:20:54 mister president.

1:20:55 The facts

1:20:56 show otherwise.

1:20:58 One of the biggest flaws in section seven zero two is what's called the backdoor search loophole.

1:21:05 Seven zero two is supposed to be an authority aimed at foreigners outside The United States,

1:21:10 but the government is currently allowed to trawl their way through the vast collection of seven zero two data

1:21:16 to conduct warrantless searches for Americans' communications.

1:21:21 Last year, the FBI increased the number of warrantless searches it conducted for Americans' communications

1:21:27 by more than a third.

1:21:29 That's concerning enough right there.

1:21:32 Yet it gets worse.

1:21:34 The number of so called sensitive warrantless searches which can target elected officials, journalists,

1:21:40 or the leaders of political organizations

1:21:42 more than tripled

1:21:44 during the first year of the Trump administration.

1:21:47 The FBI has refused to say why.

1:21:50 Given Trump's enthusiasm

1:21:52 for investigating journalists and political opponents,

1:21:55 this too is a blaring alarm warning of abuses that congress has not been told about.

1:22:02 The government is also also circumventing warrant requirements

1:22:05 by using a credit card.

1:22:08 A few weeks ago, FBI director Cash Patel confirmed

1:22:12 that the FBI

1:22:13 is actually buying up Americans'

1:22:16 location data.

1:22:18 Yeah.

1:22:19 From Google, of course. It's for sale everywhere.

1:22:23 So

1:22:24 you heard this 35 increase. 35% increase. I was wondering and you didn't flag that as you typically do. No. I would flag it. You already gave me the the cue not to. Oh, no. I was that was the cue to do that.

1:22:37 Oh, the well, yeah. Okay. A third more three times as much. So why? What's the number? One to four? No. So Makes no you know, give us some numbers. Okay. You have that. I have the numbers. Yes. There's there's a kicker to that though. In 2024,

1:22:49 the official number was 5518

1:22:53 and it increased to 7,400.

1:22:56 That's a lot.

1:22:58 In 2021,

1:23:00 the FBI ran 3,400,000

1:23:03 warrantless

1:23:04 searches,

1:23:06 but they now to get to that 5,500

1:23:09 number,

1:23:10 they use something called an advanced filter function

1:23:13 that runs searches that they don't count.

1:23:16 So it's still in the millions.

1:23:18 These are Wow. Yeah. This is horrible.

1:23:22 Horrible.

1:23:24 So they're arguing over the wrong thing here.

1:23:28 Three almost three and a half million people being searched by the FBI.

1:23:34 This I hate.

1:23:36 That's no good.

1:23:38 But you know, you could go live in Holland. It's better.

1:23:42 Or Canada. Yeah. Canada. They Hey. You don't like it? Kill you. They ask you when you come across the border. We'll just we'll just kill you. You you coming to Canada? You got any guns? You wanna be killed? So

1:23:56 you were right.

1:23:58 I'll say that again because I know you like hearing it. You were right.

1:24:02 I

1:24:03 went searching for

1:24:05 GLP one

1:24:07 as a part of the problem with our birth rate in The United States,

1:24:13 which I thought was attributable well, it's

1:24:16 we know that

1:24:18 the

1:24:19 the the women's health care

1:24:21 still health cares about 1,000,000 unborn children

1:24:25 in America. So that hasn't really changed that much. But we're now down to one point six

1:24:31 children per couple which is ultimately extinction

1:24:34 unless we bring in some furners

1:24:37 or get with the program.

1:24:39 But what and I thought for sure, I thought that because of COVID, the SSRIs,

1:24:43 which definitely don't help with libido,

1:24:46 etcetera.

1:24:46 But wow, this research. What we're seeing with this ongoing research is

1:24:52 there are some side effects that we're realizing and

1:24:56 are coming to the forefront with folks that now have been on

1:25:00 Ozempic and Ozempic like medications.

1:25:03 And those side effects that we're specifically seeing are sexual changes,

1:25:08 meaning

1:25:10 either your sex drive is decreased,

1:25:13 and that's very interesting and the reason why it is is because

1:25:17 the

1:25:18 Ozempic and all these weight loss medications

1:25:21 work on glucagon,

1:25:23 and these real receptors are all over, but mainly in your brain as well, and those are responsible for suppressing your appetite.

1:25:32 But also they are responsible for your mood and your sexual drive as well. And so those dopamine or those reward,

1:25:41 pathways are affected when you're taking these medications,

1:25:44 which can cause a decrease

1:25:47 in your sexual function

1:25:49 and in your sex drive itself. And so we're noticing folks who have a lot less desire

1:25:56 to have sex and a less desire to

1:26:00 continue on with it and they are experiencing what we call like erectile dysfunction as well.

1:26:05 Wow.

1:26:06 So women are taking this to look better, to be more attractive,

1:26:11 and then the To be sexually more attractive. And then the end result is, I don't really wanna have sex.

1:26:17 Yeah. Isn't that great? This is fantastic.

1:26:20 You we need to put that on Medicaid. Everybody needs to have this stuff. That'll kill who needs to kill you when you can just have the population die off in a slow easy way?

1:26:30 Yeah. But we'll all look good.

1:26:33 We're looking good.

1:26:35 Looking good. We'll look good while we while we just disintegrate.

1:26:39 This

1:26:41 this and you know, if you got the ocular

1:26:45 seizures

1:26:46 and you know, man. This is just not good stuff.

1:26:50 No. I I I agree. Well, talking about the dying population, let's talk about China's population. We haven't talked about it much, but a lot of people

1:26:57 over the last year. I've seen clips and things on that population in China. Well, you It's not what it's supposed to be. You you never know if it's really true. I mean Is it 1,400,000,000

1:27:07 or 800 thou 800,000,000?

1:27:10 Yeah. They go back and forth, but I got a three clips that I thought were pretty good on the China population going down because it adds a little dimensionality.

1:27:21 China recently released its twenty twenty five population data. According to the National Bureau By of the way, stop.

1:27:29 Woman is obviously the same milieu as that guy who talks sideways

1:27:33 out of his face. You know, he's looking one way and he's talking look. You know, that character he's always the reports are false. He's always talking with the Oh, oh, Stu Peters.

1:27:43 No. Not Stu Peters. Oh, who he oh. The other guy. The Stu Peters. The British guy. The British guy. He sounds kinda British, and he always ends every sentence with the last word in the sentence.

1:27:55 He's he stretches the words out in a million that has to be a million because this woman talks the same way if it's not AI. Yeah. Troll room. What's that guy's name? And the camera angle is always a little bit from a little bit above?

1:28:07 Askewed and above. Yeah.

1:28:09 He never looks straight into the camera. He's always looking sideways. And and it's always it's always an amazing story.

1:28:15 Yeah. Which is bull crap. We're all gonna die. The total population is expected to drop to around 1,405,000,000,

1:28:23 a decrease of 3,390,000

1:28:25 from the previous year.

1:28:27 This marks the fourth consecutive year of negative growth. Of the 27 provinces with available data, 20 saw a population decline,

1:28:35 while only seven experienced growth.

1:28:38 This data has sparked heated discussions online.

1:28:42 In

1:28:46 Harbin, with a population of 10,000,000,

1:28:49 there's no one on the streets.

1:28:50 No one in office buildings, no one in restaurants.

1:28:53 Where did all the people go? I remember back when we had 1,300,000,000

1:28:57 people. The streets were full. The train stations were crowded with people carrying big bags.

1:29:03 But now with 1,400,000,000,

1:29:04 it feels like there's no one.

1:29:06 Only place that's crowded now is the hospital.

1:29:09 There are huge lines there.

1:29:11 Anyone know where all the people in Harbin have gone? They don't. Official data shows that Harbin,

1:29:16 a northern city, has a population of around 10,000,000.

1:29:20 But in reality, it's hard to feel that kind of population density in everyday life.

1:29:25 The streets are quiet,

1:29:27 office buildings are vacant,

1:29:29 and restaurants have very few customers. Customers. The doubts about the population data quickly grew with many online users expressing clear distrust,

1:29:38 even outright rejecting the official numbers.

1:29:40 They say most of them are gone and there aren't many births anymore.

1:29:45 One user commented,

1:29:46 the world has already acknowledged that China's population is around 800,000,000.

1:29:51 There's hardly anyone left.

1:29:52 Another user said, after the three vaccine shots, there aren't many people anywhere.

1:29:58 This is a a promotion for AI voices. This one was horrible.

1:30:03 Horrible. So

1:30:08 the vaccine, That's that's killed all the Chinese. Is that that's the story here? When they forced them to have three shots and then do you remember they also when COVID was actually in a rampant,

1:30:19 they locked them in their Yeah. Place. They they nailed their doors shut. Welded the door shut. Yeah.

1:30:25 Okay.

1:30:26 So There's also some mention in in one of these I don't know if this clip catches it that that all the pollution that is really just the burning of the bodies. This feeling isn't just Oh, that was during COVID.

1:30:38 That that was the story then. It's like, what is this smoke? Oh, don't pay no attention to the incinerator.

1:30:44 This feeling isn't just limited to Harbin.

1:30:46 A similar discussion and confusion have emerged in another Northeastern city. A user from Fushun, Liaoning also expressed almost identical concerns on social media. There

1:30:59 is a strange phenomenon happening in Fushun lately.

1:31:02 I specifically searched it up, and Fushun's

1:31:06 resident population is 1,710,000.

1:31:09 Are these 7,710,000

1:31:12 people not eating anymore? I was chatting with a colleague this afternoon.

1:31:16 One was making videos for restaurant.

1:31:18 Their coupons aren't selling. The livestreams aren't being watched, and no one is eating at the restaurants.

1:31:24 I figured maybe people are being more frugal now, buying groceries and cooking at home.

1:31:30 Then I talked to the aunt who sells vegetables at the market, and she said no one is buying their produce.

1:31:36 It's not selling.

1:31:38 Some might say they're ordering takeout,

1:31:41 but when I got on the elevator,

1:31:43 I saw the delivery guys and they all looked pretty down. I talked to them, and they said,

1:31:49 there are no orders now. No orders at all. It's way less than before.

1:31:54 I saw someone online guessing that people have all gone back to their hometowns,

1:31:59 to their counties.

1:32:00 I'm from a county too,

1:32:02 buddy, and no one's coming back.

1:32:05 Okay.

1:32:07 Alright.

1:32:08 So the speculation,

1:32:10 of course, online, I guess, I thought the Chinese clamp clamped down on this sort of thing, where you couldn't go online and, you know, say whatever you thought. But, listen to this, and this is the kicker. It used to be packed with people with long queues, but this time, there was no line at all. I'm wondering, what's going on with Beijing and Tianjin? In the comments, many netizens responded

1:32:33 saying, the old are dead, the young aren't being born, and the younger ones are being taken for parts. It's no surprise.

1:32:41 The three vaccines

1:32:42 plus the organ harvesting means fewer people. People have been eaten or sold by others. China doesn't have 1,400,000,000 people anymore.

1:32:50 It's decreasing at a visible rate. Now it's less than 1,000,000,000.

1:32:54 By next year, there will only be 800,000,000.

1:32:57 People have been eaten by demons.

1:32:59 Okay.

1:33:00 There it is. Eaten by demons.

1:33:03 Their own people.

1:33:05 Well, that's possible. Was that an NTD report? Where'd you get that from? No. It was it was a YouTube

1:33:11 Oh. Channel. Oh, okay. Well, then that's reliable.

1:33:15 But Oh, yeah.

1:33:16 So there's nothing more fun

1:33:19 than I I like texting with Joe Rogan.

1:33:22 I don't do it often,

1:33:24 but I only do if there's a reason. There's nothing more fun than texting Joe Rogan when he's in the White House standing behind the president. Did you see this?

1:33:32 No. This was here's the executive order. Today, I'm pleased to announce historic reforms to dramatically

1:33:38 accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on

1:33:43 psychedelic drugs. In many cases, these experimental treatments have shown life changing potential for those suffering from severe mental illness and depression,

1:33:54 including our cherished veterans. Our veterans are having a tremendous

1:33:57 hard time. You know, the suicide rate, we have it down a little bit, but they are having a hard time.

1:34:03 And I got a call from a number of people including the great Joe Rogan,

1:34:07 and he said we have to do something about this. And I looked into it. I called Bobby. I called Oz. I called Marty and Jay.

1:34:16 And it was really it was uniform

1:34:18 support.

1:34:20 And I said, so why would we wait three or four years to get it done for for ten years, frankly?

1:34:26 Let's get it done immediately, and that's what happened. This has probably never been anything happened so quickly. Everybody is so strongly in favor of this. It's it's for a lot of people, but it's for our military in particular. The suicide epidemic among veterans is a national tragedy. Since 09/11, we've lost over 21 times more veteran lives to suicide than on the battlefield. So we lose

1:34:49 think of that 21

1:34:51 times more. And today, we're

1:34:54 bringing them new hope. I think you're gonna see a big difference and a big reduction in that number.

1:34:59 So there's Joe stand standing behind the president who's sitting who's seated at the at the desk. Joe's right behind him. Everybody's on either side,

1:35:09 and then Joe tells the story. Everybody how this happened. I sent president Trump some information.

1:35:15 We have a gigantic opiate problem in this country, obviously.

1:35:19 In 2024,

1:35:20 more than eighty thousand people died of overdoses.

1:35:23 It's it's a horrible number.

1:35:25 And there's more than five million people that are addicted to opiates right now in this country. With one dose of Ibogaine, more than eighty percent of people are free of that addiction. With two doses, it's more than ninety percent. I sent them that information.

1:35:40 The text message came back. Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it. It was literally that quick.

1:35:49 These drugs are illegal not because they're harmful. They're illegal because of the 1970

1:35:55 Controlled Substances Act that was passed by the Richard Nixon administration.

1:35:59 They did it to target the civil rights movement and the antiwar movement. It's not because these drugs harm people. And for fifty six years, we've lived under those

1:36:11 terrible conditions.

1:36:13 We're free of that now. We're free of that now.

1:36:15 Thanks all these people that we see next to me, and thanks to president Trump.

1:36:20 This has been Joe's thing for a very long time. And I don't and you were more aware of those times than Joe or me

1:36:28 in 1970.

1:36:30 His claim is that all of these psychedelics,

1:36:33 LSD,

1:36:35 psilocybin,

1:36:37 they were classified as class one drugs to stop the anti war movement.

1:36:42 Do you think that's true? I think there's some truth to it. Mhmm.

1:36:47 What happened was in the sixties mainly,

1:36:51 in the early sixties, of course, all these drugs were illegal.

1:36:55 Yeah. Why wouldn't they be? I mean, hey, man. Well, they came out It's dropping discovered,

1:37:00 and no one what to do with them. And you had Timothy Leary and people like that promoting them. Yep. Yep. It has positive benefits.

1:37:08 And so there was a period of time where everyone was using these or, you know,

1:37:13 casually,

1:37:15 what do you call it? When you Dropping acid.

1:37:17 They were taking taking it as a

1:37:20 Microdosing?

1:37:22 No. What's the word for casual use when you're

1:37:27 I can't there's a term.

1:37:29 Chat room help me.

1:37:31 Casual use. What?

1:37:34 I'm no. I'm trying to think what the casual use recreational

1:37:37 use. Recreational.

1:37:39 Okay. There you go. Yes. That's the word.

1:37:41 It's the it's the heart attack.

1:37:44 So,

1:37:45 recreational use. So people like in college, you know, and all the universities around the country, they're you know, on the weekends,

1:37:53 you know, they would people would be get stoned on one thing or a mescaline, mescaline, peyote.

1:37:58 It was all free fair game.

1:38:00 And it turned out that the same people that were taking these drugs were actually part of the tended to be protesting

1:38:09 against getting drafted and shipped to Vietnam.

1:38:12 Mhmm. And they there was a correlation,

1:38:14 not a causation necessarily,

1:38:16 but the correlation was obvious.

1:38:18 And so they put the kibosh on these drugs thinking that might stop the anti war. I I believe that's totally true. No.

1:38:25 Well, that has been a big thing that Joe has been talking about forever.

1:38:30 Now, the stuff that he's talking about is ibogaine or ibogaine or whatever the hell it is, I've heard about this stuff and I don't understand

1:38:38 where that even showed up in the in the in the timeline.

1:38:42 Oh, don't But this stuff is supposed to really not

1:38:45 just stop you from being addicted. I I'm I don't even know how it works or has not been discussed much. There's no clips about it.

1:38:53 But it's been mentioned on his show quite a bit. Yeah.

1:38:57 Well, what what didn't happen, for people who, just cruise

1:39:02 social media,

1:39:03 like Joe Rogan legalized LSD.

1:39:06 Yeah. No.

1:39:08 This all fits under the Right to Try Act, which was I think that was the president's first term

1:39:13 that he got that through, the Right to Try Act. So you could you know, even if something might kill you, if you wanna try it, you get the right to try it. So he's moved that under this. So it's not like there's really FDA approval or anything.

1:39:25 But it sounds like a good thing.

1:39:28 Yeah.

1:39:29 Good for him. I just I just it cracks me up. It's just Joe standing behind the president.

1:39:34 That's nuts. Yeah. There he is. He can't believe it himself.

1:39:38 He's a big shot. No. He's like, I can't believe I'm standing here. This is crazy.

1:39:43 That's that's what he texts me. This is crazy. I can't believe I'm standing here. It's not that crazy. I can't believe I'm looking at you. Yeah. Let's let's get a couple of these clips out of here.

1:39:53 You know, we in California, you don't have actually, wait. Before we I I want to I want you to do your AI stuff. That's what I want. But you can do something before that.

1:40:02 What AI stuff?

1:40:04 Anthropic.

1:40:06 Oh, yeah. We've got a whole series of clips here. Yeah. I do have four clips on Anthropic. But before we do it, let me do one quickie on Texas.

1:40:14 Uh-oh.

1:40:15 It's an Ask Adam. Oh. Hold on a second. Ask Adam. Well. Ask Adam.

1:40:21 Ask Adam, drill. Alright. What's the clip?

1:40:24 Play it. Well, which one? Oh, the Ask Adam? Okay. Here we go. And I know, by the way, they reported two children died of measles in Texas recently. We represent one of those families. That child did not die of measles. We have all the medical records. When they tell you on the news he died of measles, that's not true. Okay? The other child we don't represent, but a different doctor had reviewed medical records, and he came out and were reported and said that also wasn't for measles, by the way. I'm not saying measles cannot

1:40:48 cause

1:40:49 harm. It can.

1:40:51 Adam.

1:40:52 Ask Adam.

1:40:53 Will he know or really won't?

1:40:56 I don't know, but here we go. Ask Adam.

1:40:59 Ask Adam. Yeah. Answer the question. Go. Alright. What is the question?

1:41:03 You're in Texas. Did did did you are you aware of this?

1:41:08 That that kid that was that triggered this measles freak out didn't die of measles even though they claimed the mainstream media claimed he did?

1:41:17 I have not heard anything about this at all. There you go. Okay. All.

1:41:22 At all. At all. No one is freaked out about measles.

1:41:25 Well, don't care about the freak out. Were you aware of the fact that this is bullcrap that this kid died of measles? Well, that doesn't surprise me. No. I'd I've not seen this story. I didn't even know it was a story. I I think I saw a lower third on one of the quad screens at some point that another measles epidemic. It's

1:41:42 more vaccine propaganda.

1:41:45 Vaccine Alright. Let's go let's

1:41:46 go with the Anthropic material. Let's go CBS. This comes CBS.

1:41:51 This is the morning show part one. In this morning's Tech Watch, we're looking at a stark new warning on artificial intelligence. Stark. This one is coming from inside the house. Last week, Anthropic released a report about one of its own new models called Claude Mythos Preview. In it, the company warned the company the program rather was too powerful to be released too powerful.

1:42:13 Mythos is designed to find security flaws in software. The trouble is, it may actually be too good at its job, and Anthropic is worried about it falling into the wrong hands. And if that happens, Anthropic says, quote, the fallout for economies,

1:42:27 public safety, and national security could be severe.

1:42:31 Joining us now is former AI company founder and CEO, Matt Schumer. He's a venture capitalist, and he's author of that viral article that we shared here on the show, something big is happening. Matt, good morning. Good to see you. Good morning. Thank you for So Anthropics says this AI model identified vulnerabilities in every major system from banking to technology

1:42:50 to companies.

1:42:51 Help us understand what could happen if this technology

1:42:55 falls into the wrong hands and what is this technology? What? So let's start there. What is this? So Claude Mythos is the next generation of Anthropics

1:43:04 AI technology.

1:43:05 It was trained to be a generally smarter AI.

1:43:09 But the thing that's slightly worrisome about this is that even though it was trained to be generally smarter, it wasn't trained for one specific thing. When they tested it after it came out of the oven for lack of a better term, it developed one new capability

1:43:21 that they were terrified of, which is its ability to hack. It was over five times better than the previous generation of models they introduced literally months

1:43:30 earlier. Wow. Now that's Wow. Very, very powerful because this model can get into almost any software in the world. Software controls almost everything we do. This isn't just Slack and Salesforce.

1:43:40 This is power grids. This is water systems. This is bank. Woo. Banking. Yes.

1:43:46 Okay. I know what this is about but I'm I'm all ears for this series.

1:43:51 You know what it's about, Yeah. Of course.

1:43:54 Hit it. Start to They did something pretty amazing. Amazing. You think about it, they are about to IPO.

1:44:00 Yeah. They need to show as much profit as possible and this thing is so smart that it could be effectively a money printer. Yeah. Instead of releasing this, they said, no. We're gonna do the right thing. We're gonna give this to the folks that need to use it to secure the systems that we rely on for our daily life so that they can get ahead of everybody else because in six to twelve months, Anthropic knows

1:44:21 if they have this capability today,

1:44:23 every other AI lab that matters will have this too, and they might not treat it the same way. Does it say to you that they came out and did this publicly? Because as you say, they could have kept this to themselves and continued to make a lot of money, especially with an IPO coming. What does it say to you about this company? It's unbelievable.

1:44:38 I have never seen something like this. A company that is about to IPO having such a moral compass. It's not something you

1:44:44 see every day. It is wildly impressive. Okay.

1:44:48 Let me just jump in.

1:44:50 So this is Project Glasswing, I think is what it's called, and they brought in

1:44:54 all the bankers.

1:44:56 JP Morgan is already a part of it. Jamie Diamond didn't even come to the meeting because he's already had this stuff within his within his bank.

1:45:04 This is the same

1:45:06 and the key here is the IPO. And this is the same mechanism

1:45:10 that is used with cigarette advertising.

1:45:14 Look at the diseased lung on this package.

1:45:18 You real this is dangerous

1:45:20 dangerous stuff.

1:45:23 Buy it.

1:45:25 That's what this is.

1:45:26 This is so powerful it could kill the world. It could bring down Could your kill you.

1:45:32 This look at the diseased lung on this AI.

1:45:35 You want it, don't you? It's marketing and it's good. I can't believe that CBS fell for it. No. Actually, I can.

1:45:43 Gail.

1:45:45 Gail.

1:45:47 Well, I wonder where they were paid to run this piece. Oh, that's possible. Okay. So Matt, part of me says, well, this is a company announcing

1:45:56 that they have created something so powerful. Powerful. It's actually a pat on the back. This is how good we are. But then another part of me, it scares the daylights out of me. So you say Woah. This isn't something that we should be overly concerned I'm scared. About but it's also something that we should take serious.

1:46:13 Yes. Lee. Which one is it? Because I am confused.

1:46:16 As am I and as is everybody in the industry. Right? Because you should be keeping an eye on this, but it's not time to panic quite yet, but I understand why you might think that that's the way to go. Right? Because if this goes in the negative direction, it could be disastrous. Think about what software controls. It controls a lot of the systems that our daily lives run on. What happens if this gets into a banking system? What could be done there? So many different things. But the hope is that the way that Anthropic is approaching this is that the good guys can get there first and secure these systems. Right? They're giving this to the bank for example. So the bank can take the next few months before others catch up and harden their systems so that they have more of a moat. Most

1:46:55 of the good guys are trying to make money. Yeah. Yeah.

1:46:58 And this is good. This is good. This this is exactly how you ramp up the biggest monster IPO ever.

1:47:06 It's perfect.

1:47:07 Yeah.

1:47:09 Three or four. Before this is the last one. Let's talk about how this could affect us globally from an economic and from a political standpoint. The president is set to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

1:47:19 There's this upcoming summit. People believe that AI should be at the top of the discussion list. But the question that I have is, does it matter if we think about the world as far as our traditional enemies or our traditional adversaries, China, Iran, Russia? Because anybody who has access to this technology becomes a threat. Yeah. Absolutely. So AI is incredibly powerful.

1:47:40 And if it falls into the wrong hands and the wrong hands have access to it, it allows them to increase their position

1:47:45 in the world. Think about how smart this is and what it can do. So, yeah, you're correct in that the traditional enemies we're seeing aren't necessarily the the only ones we should be worried about. However, I would say they are the most important ones to look at and take into account because they are going to keep increasing the capabilities of their models and that can lead them to do things that maybe we wouldn't be super happy with. We are keeping pace and we actually are quite a bit ahead right now, but there's a there's a chance that gap closes. Yeah. Mhmm. Hopefully, this turns out like it does in the movies and the good guys win in the end. Who are the good guys though? That's the question. Ash Schumer, thank you so much. We appreciate you.

1:48:19 Brother.

1:48:20 Alright. I I got a tag onto this.

1:48:24 So the the race is on now between OpenAI's

1:48:27 IPO and Anthropic's IPO.

1:48:30 And I'm pretty sure Anthropic is going to come out well, I don't know. Do you think we better for for if Anthropic really has superior product and a better business model, would they want OpenAI to come out first and tank or would they wanna go first?

1:48:45 What would you say? No. You wanna go first. You wanna go first. Right.

1:48:48 So

1:48:49 we I think we are at a bubble moment. I've always been looking for this but it's not the bubble moment that that we thought it was. I think Anthropic is the real deal

1:49:00 when it because they just focus on one thing and one thing only, code. We just do code.

1:49:05 And and code is great because code is syntax and there's tons of it around. You can suck it in from everywhere and and I've had been had lots of success building things with Claude code. So that's great.

1:49:18 But it was this story that showed me that the hyperscalers

1:49:22 where all the money's really going into these data centers and billions and hundreds of billions of dollars into compute,

1:49:30 into data center compute,

1:49:32 and to power these things.

1:49:34 That's the bubble.

1:49:35 And I think that all of these stories, I caught about four of them,

1:49:40 every single one of them is downplaying

1:49:42 this new company or this pivot

1:49:45 because they don't actually want the bubble to pop. But they're calling this the bubble. The sneaker guys, all birds,

1:49:51 I can't believe this. They're now planning to pivot.

1:49:54 Shoe company pivoting to

1:49:57 artificial intelligence.

1:49:59 What what's what's that all about? Think about with the Internet bubble, we had a bunch of companies add.com

1:50:05 to their name. Those had a bunch of near term stock price booms at the time,

1:50:10 and I think we were up 500, 600% yesterday when Allbirds made this announcement to an AI company. And we had this report come out this morning from ProCap Insights,

1:50:19 and we compared it to BuzzFeed and Rent the Runway a couple years ago doing the similar AI pivot.

1:50:26 Both those stocks went up triple digits, and both those stocks gave up almost all their gains within a couple months. So I don't know what's gonna happen with Allbirds,

1:50:35 but they are essentially trying to compete with massive infrastructure data center plays like CoreWeave,

1:50:40 and they're doing it with a pretty,

1:50:44 tiny budget, I would say, to get into this data center game.

1:50:47 I'm not sure if this is a buy right now. What

1:50:50 what do you mean by this? I I can tell you definitively, it's not. I mean, it's absurd. I mean, that is just about is they have no expertise.

1:50:58 It's just it's ridiculous. They're they're chasing a dream. Don't don't let yourself fall prey to that. So they're comparing this to,

1:51:06 people saying, yeah, we got blockchain. Oh, we got this. We got that. But it's this is just a a public shell.

1:51:13 These guys had a sneaker company

1:51:16 and they okay. This this this thing is not really doing too well.

1:51:20 So we're gonna sell all the assets which they did for like 37,000,000.

1:51:24 And then they sold the company to some other guy who then got $50,000,000,000

1:51:29 and he's doing exactly what I've been talking about,

1:51:32 which is

1:51:34 buying

1:51:35 either buying up into some degree

1:51:39 Nvidia cards, doesn't have to be the new ones, so you can rent it for like 2¢ a minute, or some dude's game computer.

1:51:46 This is the model that people are going towards and all of these Wall Street people, they're all saying, oh, no. This is ridiculous.

1:51:53 How can you go from a sneaker you don't know anything. You don't even know about sneakers. We're looking at a wild

1:51:58 Hail Mary here.

1:52:00 Hi, Marley. Yeah. Thanks for having me. I think it's a wild Hail Mary. You know, it it reminds me of the with some iced tea company that put blockchain in its name and as an attempt to sort of tag along with the blockchain,

1:52:13 furrow and and and rise in stock prices. And, look, we we've seen this we've seen this game before,

1:52:19 where companies play this this card in terms of, hey. Maybe if I put AI or blockchain

1:52:25 or NFT in my name, I'm gonna see a big rise. And so, yeah, we think it's, it's unfortunate

1:52:32 that companies can do things like this, but it's really unfortunate that people fall for it. I put out a note first thing yesterday, like, please don't fall for this trick. We've written about how this was a bad stock since before the IPO,

1:52:45 How the the IPO how the IPO price was ridiculous,

1:52:49 and it went on to double from there. So

1:52:51 suckers born every minute,

1:52:53 and we're hoping that that, you know, not too many people fall for this trick because that's what it is. It's a trick. Now you you and Dvorak talk about stock market all the time. Doesn't this sound like these guys don't want this to be the way to go? They don't want this company to be successful and they're just downplaying it as a bunch of stupid people?

1:53:11 Well, obviously, they don't want it to be successful. They wouldn't be bad mouthing it. Yeah. But I think they don't want it to be successful because they're all invested in this hyperscaler

1:53:20 data center, you know, $1,300,000,000,000

1:53:23 worth of stuff that no one's gonna want because we can rent some time on on some dude's game computer.

1:53:31 Maybe. Yes. That's and when when you get Jim Kramer,

1:53:35 you you know about inverse Jim Kramer. Whatever Kramer says, do the opposite. Archduchess sword. What's happening here

1:53:42 is that they've sold Allbirds has actually sold Allbirds, at least what you know is Allbirds, the brand, the footwear company. They've sold the assets to American Exchange Group and they say that group will intend to build on Allbirds legacy and deliver compelling products

1:54:00 to customers.

1:54:01 What they had done though

1:54:03 is raise $15,000,000

1:54:06 in a convertible financing, that's what they're calling it, from an institutional investor not named,

1:54:12 at least I don't see it here.

1:54:15 Let me see, maybe it's further down but I don't see it. And what are they gonna become? Well, their long term vision

1:54:21 is to become a fully integrated

1:54:23 GPU as a service

1:54:26 and AI native cloud solution provider. It's going up against NVIDIA?

1:54:31 Bullbirds

1:54:32 is now

1:54:33 no longer a sneaker company, but a fully integrated GPU as a service and AI native cloud solutions provider.

1:54:41 It's a pivot.

1:54:43 They actually even admit that. And

1:54:46 they do anticipate changing their name now to

1:54:50 NewBird AI.

1:54:51 Yes.

1:54:53 NewBird AI. NewBird AI.

1:54:55 They're no longer all birds. This is a new bird. Okay. Look. This is if you're at home, you have to understand. We're being a little

1:55:03 jaded about it because Well, this certainly raise it can certainly help those who argue that we're in some sort of a bubble. Yeah. It is. Look at that. That's a bubble.

1:55:13 You know,

1:55:15 this GPU as a service is a great idea.

1:55:19 It is this is the way to go. This is the way it's gonna I I'm not a fan of Jensen Wang,

1:55:25 but when he developed CUDA, I think is what it's called, c u d a, which is the kind of the middleware. I wear you a fan of Jensen Wang? He's a nice guy. Yeah. He comes across as douchey with his leather jacket. Well, the leather jacket is gonna go. But he talks about the Neo Cloud and that's what this is. This is the Neo Cloud.

1:55:45 And the Neo Cloud isn't even a cloud. It's it's literally I have a Vulcan,

1:55:50 what is it? RTX thirty ninety card. I could not that I'm gonna do, but I could rent it out. This this is the future of this AI stuff and Anthropic,

1:55:59 they're the only guys who figured it out because they are now changing the business model. It's freaking everybody out, but this is this is the way it's going. Problem. Token demand is what the entire AI investment cycle is built on. It's how NVIDIA justify selling hundreds of billions of dollars in chips. It's how data center companies justify building 30 gigawatts of capacity. It's how the biggest names in tech justify pouring billions of dollars into infrastructure.

1:56:25 The assumption is that all this usage keeps growing.

1:56:29 But if a meaningful chunk of it is employees, gaming leaderboards, agents running in loops, or companies just blowing through budgets they can't sustain, then the infrastructure being built to serve that demand, well, it may be sized for a number that isn't real. There is zero doubt that there's overinvestment.

1:56:46 MO Day calls this the cone of uncertainty. Data centers Cone of uncertainty. One to two years to build. Every AI company is making billion dollar bets right now on demand that hasn't materialized yet. Buy too little, you lose customers, buy too much, and the revenue just doesn't show up. The math stops working.

1:57:03 Anthropic is the first major lab to respond, killing flat rate plans, billing every token, building for demand that it can verify.

1:57:11 If you're off by a couple years, that can be ruinous. Both companies are expected to IPO this year. Anthropic shows up with clean per token data. They know what customers are paying for and why. The market is already sorting this out. Setting aggressive goals, but understanding

1:57:25 what

1:57:27 will the return on investment be,

1:57:29 and under promising and over delivering is often the more prudent in long term strategies. The company that priced for real demand, it's going to look very different from the one that didn't. I'm telling you. Anthropic, they figured it out. They are now charging by the token.

1:57:45 That's what it is. Forget these these all you can eat plans, that's all going away

1:57:50 and that's gonna become too expensive and that one's gonna go to to the sneaker guys.

1:57:55 I know I know at least five developers who are already using this stuff and it's all, oh, let me just rent this dude's GPU for a little bit. It's

1:58:04 fantastic. I love this and I I can't wait to see Sam Albin fail. I just kinda want that.

1:58:11 Well, he probably won't. No. And even if he does, the more spectacular the failure in Silicon Valley, the more money you can raise on the next dumb idea. Yeah. Next go around, he's got it made. This is he's the best.

1:58:22 Alright. I wanna get I wanna talk about Stop Nick Shirley.

1:58:26 Stop Nick Shirley?

1:58:28 Are you familiar with this? No. What's wrong with Nick? Poor little Nicky boy.

1:58:34 Nick Shirley,

1:58:36 who,

1:58:37 went to California to start to find

1:58:40 all kinds of problems with,

1:58:42 hospice mostly. Yes. Well, after he did Minneapolis, then he went to California

1:58:47 with his with legislature wants to pass a law

1:58:51 to prevent anyone from posting any of this stuff.

1:58:55 Nice.

1:58:56 You don't know about this? No. It sounds like, what do you call it?

1:59:00 A violation of the first amendment?

1:59:02 Yeah. Sounds totally like that. And there's a bunch of Nick, you can go to his, YouTube page. He does a whole expose. He goes up to everybody who signed off on the bill,

1:59:12 and they won't talk to him, and Anthony and and this Weiner guy, not Anthony Weiner, but this Where where did that guy go? Where did Anthony Weiner go? We need him back. Scott Weiner is our guy Yeah. Who's super gay, and he dresses in leather and Yeah. Shows up on the Folsom Street things and Wow. Pees on people, I think,

1:59:32 and

1:59:33 calls him a psycho. And

1:59:36 so he here's just a short this is a short version of of of of Stop Nick Shirley going from representative to representative,

1:59:46 asking them why they're doing this at all. Here's one of the authors of the bill. How are you guys doing? We just wanna ask you about the bill and why you guys would pass this bill that really isn't an attack on free speech. I am not even sure what you're talking about. You said an author? I don't think Yes. Did you did you sign to pass this bill?

2:00:08 The a b 26?

2:00:09 No. I don't know what you're talking about. Do you know what I'm talking about? No.

2:00:13 You do not?

2:00:15 No. Are you guys serious? Talking about something random.

2:00:18 You were talking about something random. Okay.

2:00:21 Speaker Rivas,

2:00:23 how are you doing? What

2:00:25 do you think about the stop Nick Shirley act

2:00:28 a b twenty six twenty four? I

2:00:31 don't know anything about it. And do think there's any conflict of interest there with Mia Bonta and her husband being the AG?

2:00:39 That just shows you everything you need to know. These people won't even answer the questions. You're a coauthor of the Stop Nick Shirley Act. Oh, you know who I am. My name is Nick Shirley, ma'am. Have no clue

2:00:49 you are. A b twenty six twenty four acts. Can you tell us about what you I don't know did on that. I don't even know who you are. Well, my name is Nick Shirley. I'm sorry. But could you please just answer any question about the a b twenty six twenty four bill? A lot of people are worried about that it's going to stop fraud investigations. But you're the one who signed off and you're a coauthor of it. These

2:01:08 people are crazy. They can't even answer your questions about the bills that they're coauthoring.

2:01:13 Oh, is this Scott Weiner right here? Yep. Yes. He is. Yes. Scott Weiner. How are doing? I'm good. How are you? Doing great. Can you what can you give us your opinion? Capital. Thank you very much. Can you give us your opinion really quick on a b twenty six twenty four? I think you're a psycho scam artist. So You think I've been Please disclose how you think that. Look

2:01:30 how they just run away. These guys are fools. It would suck to have the last name Weiner anyways. This is fantastic

2:01:35 promotion for him.

2:01:37 Oh, yeah. This is good.

2:01:39 Yeah.

2:01:40 Musk got ahold of this. He's gonna give him spot on Twitter with a with a lot of, promotion.

2:01:47 So let me see. Introduced by

2:01:50 Mia Bonta.

2:01:51 Mia Bonta is who's the wife of the attorney Yes. General

2:01:56 who's supposed to be investigating fraud, but they don't. Check it out. The official title,

2:02:02 privacy for immigration

2:02:03 support services providers,

2:02:07 and it extends California's

2:02:08 safe at home privacy program to employees in immigration

2:02:12 services.

2:02:15 This is so that Nick Shirley can't do investigation.

2:02:18 Right. Creates privacy protections for immigration support service providers, employees and volunteers, hides their addresses,

2:02:26 allows affiliated individuals to demand removal of video recordings even those taken in public. That's that's a first amendment problem.

2:02:34 Yep. Imposes

2:02:35 financial penalties on those who publish the videos online.

2:02:41 Wow.

2:02:43 So

2:02:44 this must be much bigger than we even imagined, this fraud.

2:02:48 Oh, the fraud's gotta be out of control. That's great.

2:02:52 That's great. Well, it's good for Nick.

2:02:54 And and did he have a when he says we we we, does he have another handler with him? Some dude? Yeah. Does. He got somebody with him. Doug, Dave, Bill, whatever. Oh, yeah. Good. He he's from he's from the Trump administration.

2:03:07 It has to be.

2:03:10 Nick Shirley is an important he you know, there will be Nick Shirley Avenues in our future.

2:03:15 Nick

2:03:17 Shirley Avenue. Nick Shirley Court.

2:03:21 Alright. One last one. This came in, just before I started the show.

2:03:26 The

2:03:27 Tyler Robinson

2:03:29 case,

2:03:30 trial is now,

2:03:32 cranking up. He is the purported self confessed murderer

2:03:36 of Charlie Kirk,

2:03:38 which has been the subject of many

2:03:41 YouTube videos,

2:03:43 mainly by Candace Owens et al.

2:03:46 And I think they were really trying to keep cameras out of the court, but the cameras are in the court. And here's prosecution.

2:03:53 I I don't know if this is from yesterday or today, but this came in today,

2:03:57 and, here it is. He then leaves the campus.

2:04:00 UVU surveillance then captures him return later. He returns on foot right before the Charlie Kirk event. He's wearing a disguise of sorts. He's wearing a baseball cap, different baseball cap, pulled low. He's got sunglasses on, a different shirt, different pants, but the same Converse shoes. That's all seen in the surveillance.

2:04:19 He's limping because there's a rifle down his pants.

2:04:23 The surveillance captures this individual. Again, I should I I don't wanna overstate the evidence because

2:04:29 the pictures of his face at this time are not as definitive as they were earlier because of the sunglasses and the hat. But it captures his face, captures his appearance, his height, his build, all consistent with how he looks earlier in the day and how he looks today in court.

2:04:43 But he makes his way to the to the rooftop,

2:04:47 makes his way to the the snipers perch on the rooftop, takes the shot, and then runs to the Northeast, drops off the building, and runs to the Northeast of campus into a wooded area.

2:04:58 That's all captured on video. Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

2:05:02 It's all on video.

2:05:04 What will Candace Owens do?

2:05:08 No. She boy, she's too good to let something like that stop her.

2:05:16 Oh, it's a even Tina's like, no, he was a patsy.

2:05:19 I said, to what end?

2:05:22 Yeah. To what end? Who's the okay.

2:05:24 If you wanna kill Charlie Kirk, just kill him. You don't need to have a pat see and a whole set up and a guy on the roof. It just kill him.

2:05:33 Don't you think?

2:05:35 Yeah. Seems easier to me.

2:05:38 Anyway.

2:05:40 Well, whatever. It keeps it keeps people very occupied.

2:05:44 And with that, I wanna thank you for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cone of uncertainty.

2:05:50 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, mister John C.

2:05:54 Good morning.

2:05:55 Well, in the morning to you, mister Adam Curry. Also, in the morning, you'll have ships and sea boots, like, red feet near subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. Say in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me have a little count at the There we go. Oh, wow.

2:06:07 We

2:06:09 broke the 2,000.

2:06:10 This has been going up steadily, John, since since your near death experience.

2:06:16 02/2022,

2:06:19 listening live. Good. Yeah. This is very good. This is very encouraging.

2:06:23 Thank you for encouraging us. Thank you for your encouragement.

2:06:26 They're listening at noagendastream.com

2:06:28 or maybe they're using one of those very fancy modern podcast apps. This is the one you want. This is the freedom app that you want. You don't wanna get you don't want some legacy app?

2:06:37 No.

2:06:38 You wanna get something that's tied into the podcast index where we have everything, all of it. We're now working on flags

2:06:45 for AI stuff, so you can find it if you want, but you can flag it out. We have this whole almost like

2:06:52 like a SETI system. Remember SETI? The search for extraterrestrial

2:06:56 life?

2:06:57 It's still in business. It's really? People are still still doing that? I believe so. I I've never heard it shutting shuttering. Yeah. We got this whole system where it's decentralized and anybody can start up a thing and we have decentralized

2:07:10 AI models that are using some

2:07:13 some algorithm to sniff out what is AI. It's gonna be pretty cool. So this is this is what you want. You don't wanna go some polluted index like from Apple or from anywhere else. Spotify,

2:07:25 Amazon, Google. Google doesn't even do any they don't do podcasts anymore.

2:07:29 So go to podcastapps.com,

2:07:31 grab one of those modern podcast apps. When we go live, your podcast app, usually on demand, listen later, listen on at appointment type stuff,

2:07:39 That will ping you and let you know that you can listen right live right then and there live at that very moment. Or if you just wanna listen to the podcast, within ninety seconds of us updating the best podcast in the universe, you will know that it's been updated. Boom. You're there. No waiting for fifteen minutes to an hour for Apple or anyone else to figure it out.

2:07:58 And also,

2:08:00 no ads.

2:08:01 There's no ads on this podcast. Never has been, never will be.

2:08:04 All we do is bring you the top tier information and deconstruction that we work on in between shows during during the show day itself to bring you what we feel is the best podcast in the universe. It's a fact. It's certified

2:08:18 by many.

2:08:19 And so instead, we, you know, there's no like subscription

2:08:23 or,

2:08:24 you know, people there's too many subscriptions in people's lives. Everything's a subscription.

2:08:29 Everything. Oh, subscribe here. No.

2:08:32 No.

2:08:33 There's not bonus content.

2:08:35 No. Everything is here. You never have to pay for it if you don't want to. Now,

2:08:41 that is not a good idea because eventually if nobody sends us any value back then, you know, we'll have to go do something else.

2:08:49 So it's a value for value system.

2:08:51 All you have to do is say to yourself, self, what was this podcast worth to me? Maybe it was a buck, maybe it was $5, maybe $500

2:09:00 is nothing to you.

2:09:02 So however you calculate value,

2:09:04 just put that number down, any number, we love numerology, any number you want.

2:09:09 We do have four twenty coming up tomorrow. I don't did did you do I didn't see the newsletter. Did you do any 04:20 promotion? No. It did this this never paid off. None

2:09:18 of those pie day doesn't pay off.

2:09:20 Four I thought $4.04 20 used to be a big thing for us back in the day.

2:09:25 I thought $4.20 well, maybe not. Nothing it ever really was a killer. But

2:09:31 anyway, at any rate, it could be $33,

2:09:34 it could be $7, $11.11, and $69.69,

2:09:37 a 77 Somebody sent a note and say something about $4.22 and for the life of me, I can't figure out what it was.

2:09:44 About 04/20?

2:09:45 04/22.

2:09:46 04/22. I don't know what 04/22 is. I resend

2:09:50 a note, please.

2:09:52 So in, in this Value4Value

2:09:55 model,

2:09:56 you can support us with your time, your talent, your treasure. Even that that demure note we got earlier is content and is appreciated. It it is sent it's not the kind of value I'd like to see, but it is value for the show, so we appreciate that. And people can also send us an artwork. You can do that through noagendaartgenerator.com

2:10:15 and we'll take a look at the artwork for episode eighteen sixty. We titled that one micro dosing.

2:10:21 And this was kind of a fun piece. It wasn't, you know, it wasn't stellar. It was hard to find anything we really wanted to use. It was Darren O'Neill who sometimes just keeps the show rolling all by himself.

2:10:32 This was the spy shake, which is a fun play on words.

2:10:37 Now with 33% more propaganda,

2:10:40 it was one of those kind of yeah. It's all yellowish still, yellowish type

2:10:45 Yeah. Could have he could have run it through a filter. Yeah. Well, I don't he doesn't he just prompts it and and if he doesn't like, he prompts again.

2:10:52 He doesn't there's no touch ups.

2:10:55 Let me see. Thank you, Darren. We appreciate that. What else was there?

2:10:59 Was there anything that we that we liked?

2:11:01 No.

2:11:02 No. There really wasn't.

2:11:04 It was all, you know, some dog on the moon. No. That was no good.

2:11:08 Kennedy.

2:11:10 No.

2:11:11 No. It's

2:11:14 not the it's not so much the art, it's just the ideas.

2:11:19 You know, what is this? Sexual deviant club? No. Is that no. That's from today.

2:11:25 Yeah. I'm just looking at it. It's AI is ruining the art. It's not already ruined the end of show mixes.

2:11:30 It's ruining everything. It's ruining our lives.

2:11:34 You you talk you're you're like a a psycho. I am You go on and on about how bad it is, and then you talk about how great it is for your coding. Yeah. It's great for that, but it's bad for the arts, man.

2:11:46 It's not good for the arts. It's horrible for the arts.

2:11:50 Well,

2:11:51 it

2:11:53 it yeah. Yeah.

2:11:55 Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

2:11:58 So then why don't we go thank the people who supported us with their hard earned treasure. We love you for doing that. We thank everybody $50 and above

2:16:18 Moving on to Eli the coffee guy in Bensonville, Illinois, 20419,

2:16:24 and then he has a critique.

2:16:25 John,

2:16:27 I gotta disagree with what you said last show regarding Farmers Markets being a gyp.

2:16:31 It's one of the few play of course, he shop he does his selling He sells a lot at the Farmers Market, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah.

2:16:38 He's not selling produce though. It's one of the few places left where you actually know what you're buying.

2:16:45 Most of what you get, by the way, you go to some of these farmer's markets. Like, you go to there's one in Georgia, a very famous one. You go in there and you have to be really careful because they have these they're some of the greatest fresh tomatoes, Georgia tomatoes.

2:16:57 And you'd pull a couple out. The ones at the bottom are rotten. I mean, they they pull this stunt at farmers markets constantly.

2:17:05 I've seen this with strawberries in the farmer's markets in the in my neck of the It's gyp. Let's just be honest about it. It's a gyp?

2:17:11 Not the I mean, it can it can be okay. Mhmm. But it's generally speaking, they they could do better.

2:17:18 Most of what you get at the grocery store isn't local. True.

2:17:21 Peppers from Peru, beef from Brazil, garlic from China.

2:17:25 Markets are mostly smaller growers using better practices,

2:17:29 making better products. I agree.

2:17:32 Yet costs more, it shouldn't.

2:17:34 But a lot of that is taxes,

2:17:37 insurance,

2:17:38 and just trying to survive, especially in a business friendly place like Illinois and California.

2:17:43 Business unfriendly places is what you meant to say. Yes.

2:17:48 I do agree with you that pretty much everything out there has become too damned expensive. However,

2:17:54 gigawatt is both a high quality and affordable coffee, which is a rarity in this day and age. So visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.

2:35:09 So

2:35:16 this is a product

2:35:19 that

2:35:21 Mimi's using to clean

2:35:23 countertops but it's not really Another meant for

2:36:13 However, unlike bleach it isn't a liquid. You absolutely must

2:36:18 wear old clothing

2:36:20 and kitchen gloves to deal with this. I wouldn't recommend it for marble

2:36:25 because it would etch it. But for tile,

2:36:28 corian

2:36:29 cor cor cor corian, whatever that stuff is. What is this? Sulfuric acid? What is what is she feeling right here?

2:36:42 but for tough cleaning,

2:39:14 What's happening over there, misunderstood? Misunderstood. Are you there? Do you hear me? It looks like we lost our signal to misunderstood. Understand?

2:39:21 So moving right along, we have to note the note we denoted in our public note. It was a note on a float with a goat. Do you get what I'm telling you? If you do, you're like a funnel with dirty water going down into a black hole of thoughtlessness.

2:39:35 In scientific news, a scientist was sciencing around when a scientific thing happened in the lab, so he looked at it in a scientific way to scientifically deduce the scientificness of the scientific thing that caused the scientist's eyes to roll out of their sockets. They started looking around for their eyes with eyes they didn't have and stepped on them. It looks like the eyes have it. Well, they have the eyes to the bottom of their scientist shoes.

2:39:57 Weather conditions are muggy with afternoon beatings. You will lose your money and be going to the hospital. Wait a darned minute. Isn't this supposed to be a weather report? Where's that damn green screen? Where's my vodka? That's what I'm talking about. Never mind. I got this. Yeah. You better stay indoors and drown your sorrows. There's no point in going out in muggy weather unless you like being mugged.

2:40:19 There's all the news that's in the news as we distort, as we report.

2:40:24 All the news that's worthy of my distortion

2:40:27 and your contortion.

2:42:08 This

2:42:14 is a very,

2:42:16 a very important job. It's really something that's been great. You need stamina. You need physical health, and you need mental health. Stamina. I asked the doctor, I said, is there some kind of a cognitive test? Stamina. Because I've been hearing about it. Because Joe should take that test. Because Stamina. Stamina. Something's going on, and he's crazy. Oh, he's incompetent. And I say this with respect,

2:42:40 like a memory question. It's, like you'll go person,

2:42:57 If you get it in order, you get extra points. They said nobody gets it in order. It's actually not that easy, but for me, it was easy. Okay. That's right here. That's right here. Because

2:43:06 I'm cognitively

2:43:08 there. Okay. That's right here. But we have to have somebody that's sharp because I'm cognitively

2:43:13 there. Because I can tell you, president Xi is sharp. He wants to take over the world. President Putin is sharp. He's going to take over the world. Everyone is sharp. He's a dictator, and you have to be sharper than them

2:43:26 because I wanna shut these people up.

2:43:30 If you get it in order, you get extra points.

2:43:33 And I got a perfect mark. If you get it in order, you get extra points extra points. But as soon as they announced my score and that test, all the stuff went away about me as he confident. Remember, they're talking about twenty fifth amendment and nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense.
