0:29 What

0:33 now about weather modification?

0:35 It's apparently going on in Iran.

0:37 Oh, well, of course. The the weather machine. Yes. Of course.

0:41 It's great. What what kind of weather do they have? Well, they're trying to give them to make the drought worse, but then I guess they found some of these microwave

0:49 fields and so they Oh, no. Iranians blew them up. Now

0:54 it's raining.

0:56 So we were doing that all along.

1:00 Well, this is this is some podcaster.

1:03 Oh, okay. You know, I mean, maybe we were. It's possible. Was it a podcaster just asking questions?

1:10 No. No. They were they had some guy on there that that knew all about it. Well, the weather modification is real. We know that's real. It's real.

1:18 It's real. But I I prefer the earthquake machine a little better myself. I think that's more Yeah. Maybe they can't there may be nothing there to earthquake.

1:27 Hell yeah. And of course there's something to earthquake there. There's plenty plenty left to do.

1:32 Yeah. The problem is there's so many faults in The Middle East that they blow up the wrong country.

1:39 There is a

1:41 there's a lot going on in the world and, may I remind everybody you are listening to the No Agenda show.

1:47 It is the best podcast in the universe

1:49 and we are value for value. You will not hear advertisements during this program. So sit back, enjoy the value that comes to you

1:57 and later on in the show if you think,

2:01 that was valuable.

2:03 We'll give you an opportunity to help help us by sending some value back in the form of time, talent or treasure.

2:10 We can start with something screwy.

2:12 Did you notice that Kara Swisher has a special on Kara Swisher, wanna live forever? Yes. I Have you seen this? I I've seen a little bit. First of all, she has

2:23 an eternal

2:24 scowl on her face. Yes. I know. You know, the funny thing is

2:28 when she smiles,

2:31 she looks good.

2:32 Yes. But but her her She's got a nice smile. But it's eternally

2:37 in a frown. Like, if if you drew a frowny face, a line, because she has no lips,

2:43 that's Kara Swisher's mouth.

2:46 It's and we must just

2:49 stop for a moment and remind everybody that

2:53 her on camera media career is all thanks to you. No. You gave her her first I gave her her

3:01 Her first I believe. Her first on big break. Yeah. On Was it Silicon Spin or Cranky Geeks or both? Silicon Spin. Silicon Spin. An old school I mean, you think you kids listening to the TBM podcast Stop it. Go ahead. Stop it. Go ahead. No. It's more like,

3:16 yeah. I'm gonna interrupt you, but go ahead. Yeah. Let me just say something, like, because I wanna talk about myself, but go ahead. But go ahead. I'm gonna say the real truth here, the facts, but go ahead.

3:25 So anyway, they they started this thing and, you know, I said, well, it just came out, so I click on it initially.

3:32 So what is this?

3:33 And they want no. You gotta subscribe to CNN News. Oh, no.

3:37 Some bullcrap. So that went on for about a minute. Wait Wait a minute. I saw it on CNN. I saw a bit of Because they pulled the plug on the subscribe thing and put it on the regular

3:47 they put it on the regular feed. Because no one was subscribing to it. No one was subscribing. It wasn't doing much of a job. So I watched part of the first one,

3:55 extremely

3:56 overproduced.

3:58 They put money into this thing. Now wait a minute. She The premise of the show as I understood it from watching it on the quad screen,

4:05 flipping over to the top right

4:08 corner and briefly turning on the volume,

4:11 it seems like this is a show about products or health or people who want to live forever, mainly Yes. Silicon Valley, nut jobs. Okay. Yeah. Alright. Alright. Kind of a mockery of them. Yes. So I I recorded

4:25 these, this fourteen

4:27 second clip which I think summarizes

4:29 her attitude, the show, and everything in between.

4:33 And

4:34 it also if you hear this little fourteen second clip, you probably won't wanna watch the show.

4:42 But let's play this. It's under Kara Swisher. The more you think about

4:46 death, the happier you are as a person. I'm I'm gonna be cremated for sure. I'm gonna be thrown in the face of people I don't like.

4:55 That was Kara.

4:58 Yeah. Yeah. That's it sums it up. We should do this for all kinds of shows.

5:02 What

5:03 not to watch and why in fourteen seconds or less. So we were thinking of death makes you happy and I wanna have my ashes thrown and People's everyone who doesn't like me's face. What? What? This is her general attitude. That's her attitude.

5:21 That's

5:22 fine. You know, you watch things that surprise me. You keep sending me the the redacted nut jobs like like why

5:31 the only time I watch is when you send me a link. I'm like, why am I watching this?

5:36 Literally showing things that we laugh at

5:39 three days before.

5:42 Well, you know, the the she was at the White House, she was at the White House and she and she called in and she said, well, you know, the

5:49 Caroline Levitt's husband leaned over to me, and he said, you know, you gotta be careful. And then the phone call was cut off.

5:56 Come

5:57 on, man.

5:58 On, man. Good amateur. Come on. Yeah. Amateur. You want me to stop sending you this material? No. But it's it it ruins my morning.

6:07 Watch in the afternoon.

6:08 Let me, let me get us started here because, we,

6:11 we had a we had a visit. Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla will be in New York City today. It's the second leg of their historic US visit. On Tuesday, the king spoke to congress, met with the president, and he was a guest of honor at a state dinner last night. CBS News royal contributor, Roy Annick, is here. Wondering what you make of the king's speeches in both in both places because people said that he's By the way, this this reporter of royalty, her name is Roya. Can you believe it? Roya Nicka. Roya Nicka. Roya Nicka. Roya Nicka. That needle very carefully. Did anything he say surprised you?

6:45 I don't know whether it surprised me. I thought both speeches were quite punchy and they No. Were

6:49 It was a very soft power diplomatic

6:52 Soft power. Needling kind of way. I thought some of the comments in the congress speech, the reference to NATO, the importance of NATO,

6:59 Charles talking about his service in our armed forces. We know that Donald Trump has not been so kind about our armed forces recently. Yeah. But that focus on repairing and renewing the special relationship so much around this trip has been about how damaged the special relationship is because of our respective governments. And I thought the way that Charles delivered some quite punchy points to Donald Trump, but under the guise of, you know, you're my friend, Donald Yes. And we know how keen Donald Trump is on our royal family, I thought he pulled it off very well. I know you have a couple of clips about this. Just wanna get these two out of the way. So just to review, this is how the British felt that the speech was going to go. I I asked if there was sort of any reservations on the part of the king, and I was told not reservation,

7:41 but apprehension.

7:42 That he's gonna try very hard

7:44 to get the tone right in his speech to congress.

7:47 Not worried about the visit, not worried about the Trump stuff because he's done that before and he knows Trump.

7:53 But his questions really were about how you get the bit to congress right.

7:57 And I was told and this was a sort of unforgettable

8:00 quote,

8:01 so forgive me. The speech is full of lines that will go over the president's head but will go down beautifully at home.

8:09 And I said, what on earth do you mean by that? Oh, because our president is stupid, you see. So we'll go over the president's head.

8:17 So I only have one clip from

8:20 the king

8:22 where were the no kings protest?

8:24 From the king's speech

8:26 to the joint houses of of congress.

8:30 And and this is the one that just that that the democrats loved this one. This was perfect.

8:37 The founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. They carried with them and carried forward

8:46 the great inheritance

8:48 of the British enlightenment,

8:50 as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history

8:54 in English common law

8:56 and Magna Carta. We didn't run away from them at all. This is now we carried with them the deep ideals.

9:02 You mean you mean the European enlightenment?

9:05 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Alright. Alright.

9:08 Sure.

9:09 Oh, yes.

9:10 Golf claps. Golf claps.

9:14 These roots run deep,

9:16 and they are still vital.

9:19 Our declaration of rights of 1689

9:23 was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy,

9:27 but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated,

9:32 often verbatim,

9:33 in the American Bill of Rights of 1791.

9:39 And those roots go even further back in history.

9:42 The u u s supreme court historical society

9:46 has calculated that Magna Carta

9:49 is cited in at least

9:51 a 160

9:52 supreme

9:53 court cases in 1789,

9:57 not least as the foundation of the principle

10:00 that executive power is subject to checks and balances. Oh,

10:05 checks and yes.

10:07 Yes.

10:08 Oh, yes.

10:11 The

10:16 same people who brought you no kings

10:18 are cheering on the king because he said checks and balances for our king. Our king is no good.

10:25 Oh my lord.

10:27 That was that was No

10:31 kings. I

10:32 like the Trump, I think, reposting one of the photos with the with the caption two kings.

10:39 Well, he had I

10:40 don't know what clips you have, but I I have a thirty second kind of funny bit from the dinner.

10:46 I'll just play that real quick. Play it. Yeah. And I also wanna before we really begin, I wanna congratulate

10:53 Charles

10:54 on having

10:56 made a fantastic speech today at congress. He got the democrats to say, and I've never been able to do that.

11:03 I couldn't believe it.

11:06 I couldn't believe it.

11:08 They liked him more than they've ever liked any Republican or Democrat, actually. So

11:14 I just wanna thank you and congratulations.

11:16 It's not an easy thing to do, that's a tough place.

11:23 Lordy lordy. Do you have anything from the speech or the dinner?

11:26 It's kind of not not any any specific clip.

11:30 I thought the speech was dull. Yeah. The speech was very dull. The dinner was better.

11:35 There were some great Yeah. And and here's a PBS has a a rundown. I thought it was pretty good. This is, King's Visit.

11:42 King

11:43 where is alright. King's visit. Here we go. The king and queen of England were received with high diplomatic fanfare this morning at the White House, day two of the royal visit. This afternoon, king Charles became just the second monarch to address congress.

11:58 In this, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America declaring independence

12:03 from the king's five times great grandfather. It's King George the third. Nick Why the laugh in there? What is the laugh about the five times great grand I just don't understand it.

12:13 Did you hear it? That's a excellent

12:16 spot. Congress.

12:18 I have no idea. This is interesting. To address congress. In this, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America declaring independence

12:26 from the king's five times great grandfather as king George the third. I don't wanna what's so funny about that? I mean, I think it's funny that he's here while we're celebrating that, but okay. Nick Schifrin reports.

12:45 Today at a rainy White House, there was pomp, pageantry Pomp.

12:52 And a crappy high band.

12:55 It's crazy. And after this military ceremony, The US's highest diplomatic honor, president Trump did what Brits do when things might get a little bit awkward. Talk about the weather. What a

13:06 beautiful

13:07 British day this is.

13:11 President Trump is the son of a Scott, and today recalled his mother's fondness for everything royal, especially a man Trump today called a blessing. I also remember her saying

13:22 very clearly,

13:25 Charles, look, young Charles.

13:28 He's so cute.

13:31 It's my mother.

13:33 My mother had a crush

13:35 on Charles. Can you believe it? Amazing

13:38 how I wonder what she's thinking right now.

13:42 And president Trump celebrated what he called the free world forged together eighty years ago by president Franklin Roosevelt and British prime minister Winston Churchill. That understanding of our nation's unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship,

13:59 and we hope it will always remain

14:02 that way.

14:03 Yeah. Special relationship. Special. No one ever talks about what that is exactly other than our CIA and m m I six are in bed together. Yeah. The five eyes. That's very special.

14:14 Yeah. That's all it is. Mhmm.

14:17 Sharing information.

14:19 According to Curryaku,

14:20 they actually don't

14:22 keep anything from each other. Oh, I have some Curryaku for later.

14:25 Oh. Oh. Yeah. That guy is all over the place. And that guy He's got an agent now, you know. Of course, he does. The agent has an agent. Gotta have an agent if you're an agent.

14:36 Yeah. There you go. Okay. Part two of this. America's

14:39 words carry weight and meaning. Meaning.

14:43 As they have since independence,

14:46 the actions of this great nation matter even more.

14:50 And so this afternoon, for only the second time in almost exactly two hundred and fifty years of separated history,

14:57 a British monarch addressed a joint meeting of congress with an appeal to unity.

15:01 Whatever our differences,

15:04 whatever disagreements we may have,

15:07 we stand united

15:08 in our commitment to uphold democracy.

15:11 Democracy. To protect all our people from harm

15:15 and to salute the courage

15:17 of those who daily risk their lives

15:21 in the service of our countries. That line, an echo of the first and before today, only British monarch to address a joint session of congress, Charles' mother, queen Elizabeth the second, thirty five years ago. The best progress is made when Europeans and Americans act in concert.

15:38 It is an era that is in many ways more volatile

15:42 and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke.

15:47 But even if in a soothing baritone,

15:50 King Charles did not avoid drawing British distinction in his baritone.

15:54 He's not a baritone.

15:57 Do you find him a baritone?

15:58 Yeah. I find him a baritone. I find alright. I him a baritone. Way with the Trump administration. Not a tenor. You must also reflect Bear. On our shared responsibility

16:08 to safeguard nature.

16:10 That same

16:12 unyielding resolve

16:14 is needed for the defense of Ukraine

16:17 and her most courageous people. We answered the call together

16:21 as our people have done so for more than a century,

16:24 shoulder to shoulder. But today, that implicit criticism did not dampen the president's riding royal coattails.

16:32 The White House posting this photo with the caption, two kings.

16:38 So let's talk about the special relationship.

16:40 And beside before you do though, let's go back to queen Elizabeth's comment that

16:45 she didn't even mention The UK or the special relationship. She said the Europeans.

16:50 Yes.

16:51 That's because that's when they were thinking they're part of Europe. Yeah.

16:56 So this Anyway. Yes. The special relationship,

16:59 was discussed at the dinner. I I liked the dinner a lot. I thought, the first lady looked fantastic.

17:07 The whole thing was groovy.

17:10 Speeches were interesting. Here is part of that special relationship. My mother's first prime minister, sir Winston Churchill,

17:18 understood this so well.

17:20 But then he himself was half American,

17:23 a tradition of shared transatlantic heritage,

17:26 which I am pleased to say is alive and well in the White House today.

17:30 Indeed,

17:31 such was the closeness

17:33 that sir Winston, while staying here in the White House,

17:37 in those rooms you showed us upstairs,

17:39 emerged naked from the bathtub

17:42 to discover the door opening

17:44 as president Roosevelt came in for a chat.

17:48 With rapey of wit, the press the president cast aside embarrassment

17:53 by declaring that the prime minister has nothing to conceal from the president of The United States.

18:03 President Trump saw our special relationship in a different manner. And we're doing a little Middle East work right now, two of you might know,

18:10 and we're doing very well. We have militarily defeated

18:14 that particular opponent,

18:16 and we're never gonna let that opponent

18:18 ever

18:19 Charles agrees with me even more than I do.

18:22 We're never gonna let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. They know that, and they've known it right now very far. Okay.

18:29 No nukes, but I'd say the joke of the evening went to king Charles. If I may say so,

18:35 it is a particular pleasure to be back in this wonderful building,

18:39 the heart of your democracy.

18:41 On this occasion,

18:43 I cannot help noticing

18:45 the readjustments

18:47 to the East Wing, mister president,

18:50 following your visit to Windsor Castle last year.

18:54 And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own,

18:58 small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

19:05 Very good. That was funny.

19:07 That was a good gag.

19:10 John, for those who do not know the history, explain what happened in 1814.

19:14 Well, we had the war of eighteen twelve

19:16 essentially with Canada, but the Brits were behind the whole thing and they burnt down the White House. Bastards, I tell you.

19:23 Yes. So he he basically admitted that, they were behind it all.

19:27 Yeah.

19:28 Yeah.

19:29 Yeah. Confession.

19:30 Yes. Thank you very much.

19:34 In the meantime,

19:35 the president went on sixty minutes.

19:39 As we all know, you know, Barry Weiss running sixty minutes running CBS so that would be a friendly interview.

19:48 And I think the president got exactly what he wanted. Did you see any of this? Oh, yeah. You can play the clip. It's great. Yeah. Well, I have a couple of clips. This is and this was, Nora

19:59 and, the president was ready for her. The so called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, mister president.

20:05 He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this, administration

20:11 officials,

20:12 they are targets.

20:13 And he also wrote this, I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? Waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're you're you're horrible people. Horrible people. You're horrible. Did write that.

20:30 I'm I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.

20:33 But oh, you think you think he was referring to you? Excuse me. I I love how she then oh, you you

20:39 think he was referring to you? Great. But but but but that but that this was just it could have been anybody,

20:45 but you think it was about you. Oh?

20:49 Good try, Nora. I'm

20:51 I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.

20:54 But oh, you think you think he was referring to you? Excuse me. I'm

20:58 not a pedophile. You read that She should call her out on that. From some sick person.

21:03 I got associated with

21:05 all stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.

21:10 Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were The other side of the plate? What does that mean?

21:18 Busy now is he is he he switching to baseball now? Yeah. What

21:24 there was a couple of things off with the president in this interview. Your friends on the other side of He was pissed. The plate the plates that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person.

21:42 But

21:43 you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm

21:46 not any of those things. Mister president, you should never excuse me. Excuse me. You

21:52 shouldn't be reading that on sixty minutes. You're a disgrace, but go ahead. Let's finish But go ahead, Karen. Anything that he wrote. You disgrace me. And then and then the president I mean, is he the only person

22:04 in America

22:05 who does not know the full name

22:08 Southern Poverty

22:09 Law Center?

22:11 Is he the only one who doesn't know that?

22:14 Because he was

22:15 right about what he's saying but oh, man. I mentioned that because, again, as his motive, and you brought this up, he had social media accounts that had anti Trump and anti Christian

22:27 rhetoric. He should read why don't you read all the anti Trump?

22:30 Why don't you read it? Jesus did. So why don't you read it?

22:34 Well, he had a lot of anti Christian rhetoric. He had he was part of a group called the Wide Awakes.

22:40 He had attended a no two weeks protest in California. No kings. Yeah. What did security tell you about what may have been his motives? The reason you have people like that is you have people doing no kings. I'm not a king. What I am, if I was a king, wouldn't be dealing with you.

22:56 No. I'm not a king. I I get it. I I I don't laugh. I don't I I I see these no kings,

23:02 which are funded just like the Southern law was funded. You saw all that Southern law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical

23:12 terrible groups.

23:14 And then they go out and they say, oh, we've gotta stop the KKK, and yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. They were. And it's a total scam run by the Democrats.

23:25 It shows you that, like Charlottesville,

23:27 Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern law. That was a Southern law deal too. And it was done to make me look bad, and it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was,

23:37 a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election. Mhmm. And that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your

23:45 sixty minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the last few years, I'm surprised. But one of those episodes should be on

23:52 Southern law

23:53 and the fact that they spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right and just bad bad groups. Mhmm. And then they'd use those groups and they'd say, these are republican groups and we're coming to your rescue. And they're the ones that have funded it and they're the ones that kept them keep them going. Southern law. Southern law. Southern law. Mister president, get it together.

24:17 Southern law.

24:20 And

24:21 and then the question that she even hesitated to ask because it's so far beneath anyone at sixty minutes. I hesitate to ask you about this, but as you know, these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right

24:34 that the event was staged or that it didn't happen. What did last night didn't happen? That, yeah. That it was because it was your first time there or that Butler didn't happen. These conspiracy theories that are gaining traction on Internet. October 7 didn't happen, and Mhmm. World War two didn't happen, and the Holocaust didn't happen, and many things didn't happen. Yeah. No. I hear it. I I don't know. I I think they're more sick than they are con people, but there's a lot of con in it too. Mhmm. I haven't heard that last night didn't happen. What usually, it takes a little bit longer. It usually takes about four months for, you know, for our false flags to be recognized by the general public. Usually, they wait about two or three months to start seeing that. Oh, yeah. I think that it was I think that and forgive me. I'm not I don't pedal in that stuff or certainly No. What do you mean I don't pedal in that stuff? What is this peddling?

25:24 You just did it.

25:26 I don't pedal in that stuff or certainly look at it because we I was there.

25:31 Who's But the idea I'm wondering where this coming

25:33 from. Tough one, I think. It's coming

25:35 tough. I think it would be a tough sale. Yeah. Where is this coming from? She says. Where is this coming from? Oh, you're back. Did you Yeah. Drop off? Okay.

25:43 Anyway.

25:44 So that was did you hear that? The Yeah. Oh, yeah. I heard it when you What do you got on the shooting, John? I'm sure you got some clips on this shooting, on this, White House correspondent's inner shooting.

25:54 Well, you know, there was a lot of

25:58 yakity yak about, oh, you know, you know, it's not our fault and all the rest. And so I I put together a

26:05 just a few short

26:07 twelve and thirteen second clips and a couple of supercuts

26:10 Oh. That we should be reminded what caused the shooting. Oh, okay.

26:14 And I wanna play these. These are all on Trump. Mhmm. That that's the Is this a bit like our, the Trump, cycle? What is that?

26:24 Yeah. Well, you know, I lost I lost the list. What was that? The Trump

26:28 what was that called?

26:30 That's the problem. I forgot what it's called. Wait a minute. Somebody wanted to give me a copy Yeah. Of

26:36 Yeah. I got it right here and I couldn't find it.

26:39 It was the,

26:40 goodness gracious. I can't remember what we called it. We called it the, was it the cycle?

26:44 The Trump derangement thing? No. No. Listed. I'm talking about the list of Trump. You know, things he's been accused of. Yeah. Yeah.

26:51 Boy. Well, let's let's play these on Trump clips. These are Oh, I think so. Some of the things that triggered the event. Oh, wait. Trump rotation.

26:58 The Trump rotation. Hold on a second. Should we play that real quick? It's, it's about fifty eight seconds. Just to remind people. Yeah. Okay. Have my list and you might wanna see if there's anything I left out. This is the Trump rotation. Yeah. There's two categories. There's the regular and then the But

27:13 here we go. Ready? Yep. Liar, incompetent,

27:16 unhinged,

27:17 illegitimate president, white supremacist,

27:19 racist, bully, immature, Russian agent,

27:23 narcissist,

27:24 mean, long ties,

27:26 insane, tweets too much, small hands, small penis, big red butt, a criminal,

27:34 mean, racist, immature,

27:36 thin skinned,

27:37 runs the mob, has no money,

27:40 unstable,

27:41 fatter than two hundred and thirty nine pounds, bankrupt,

27:44 twenty fifth amendment should be instituted.

27:47 He hates women, misogynist,

27:49 holds grudges forever,

27:51 placed golf a lot, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and clown.

27:57 John.

27:59 No wonder we're making America white again. And

28:04 that's from eight years ago? Yeah. Eight years ago.

28:08 Old old. Okay. So you have some updates to that in a different format, but, the idea is clear. Well, here's the old supercut that was probably from the first that was during the first, Trump administration.

28:20 This is on Trump old supercut.

28:22 I I I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be.

28:27 People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator.

28:31 You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives. Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that protest was supposed to be polite and peaceful.

28:41 Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless. When they go low, we can How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? Biggest terror threat in this country

28:52 is white men, most of them radicalized

28:55 right up to the right. I thought he should have punched him in the face. I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife. Yes. He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists emerged. He said, well, what do you should think have done? Said, I think you should punch him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero.

29:07 Hero. Punch him in the face. I said, if we're in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. Punch some people in the face. When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? Yeah. They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. That's a fact. Look as his character is stabbed to death. Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him? I

29:28 have thought

29:30 an awful lot

29:31 about blowing up the White House.

29:34 A Missouri state senator is under investigation

29:37 by the Secret Service after saying she hopes president Trump is assassinated.

29:42 I will go and take Trump out tonight. And if you see anybody

30:03 And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our constitution

30:09 are right at 1600

30:12 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not gonna stop after election day. And that should be everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't they're not gonna let up, and they should not. If you think we're rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

30:28 Oh,

30:31 I don't see anything inflammatory

30:33 about that. What's the problem? No. It's nothing. That doesn't seem nothing. No no problem Terry. It's just hey. Free freedom of speech, baby. Free speech.

30:42 Here's a short on Trump newer supercut.

30:45 Let me ask you tonight. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes. I do. This

30:50 is what kicking the shit out of fascism looks like.

30:55 They try to prevent the spread of the lawlessness and the fascist chaos that's been unleashed against us. So when we say Donald Trump is a fascist,

31:03 fascism,

31:04 a huge component of fascism,

31:06 is uniting

31:08 racism,

31:09 bigotry,

31:11 a form of racist nationalism.

31:14 This is we are now living in a fascist dictatorship.

31:17 Mhmm. And we are worried about potential rise of fascism fascism in this country. We're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian

31:24 and potentially fascist form of government. Not only to roll over to Donald Trump's will, but to roll over our democracy and allow him to take over

31:35 this country as a fascist dictator. Dictatorship. When fascism isn't just coming, it's already here. The former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Mark Milley said,

31:45 no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his core.

31:52 Again, I just don't see why people can get riled up over this. I mean, that sounds just like rhetoric. It's not it's nothing dangerous.

32:00 And so we have

32:02 by the way, in that second clip there, there was Raskin talk Raskin was there talking about fascism.

32:07 Yeah. After the shooting, here's what Raskin said. This is on Trump Raskin.

32:12 And you have,

32:13 and as many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric

32:17 against the president.

32:19 And do you think twice about that when something like this happens? What rhetoric do you have in mind? Just talking about, some of the the fact that he, you know, is terrible for this country and so on and so forth. I understand that that's your democratic right.

32:32 But overall

32:34 Yeah. Do you I have no personal problem with Donald Trump at all. I like how she says that's your democratic right.

32:42 Constitutional

32:43 right, maybe.

32:44 Democratic

32:46 right. It is under Paul Wallace?

32:49 Moron.

32:51 That that was Dana Bash. Oh, just as good.

32:55 Let's listen to here's Mark. This is on Trump Ruffalo.

32:59 The guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile.

33:03 He's the worst human being in the world. If we're relying on this guy's morality

33:07 for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble. I I I I'll say I'm a little disappointed because if I'd known you were doing this, I could have gotten quite a few of voices on the right saying the same thing about Trump being a pedophile.

33:23 That's not just the left that is saying that anymore.

33:28 Well, this it's hard to top this one. Okay.

33:32 This is Ted Liu. There's highly disturbing allegations

33:36 of Donald Trump raping children,

33:39 of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.

33:42 And

33:44 this is in the Epstein files?

33:47 No. It's just something he made up. Okay.

33:50 And the last on this list is Kimmel.

33:54 Our first lady Melania is here. Look at so beautiful. Missus Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.

34:02 Yeah.

34:03 Disgusting. Deranged. If you think it's funny, you're disgusting and deranged.

34:08 Yeah. And then to be fair, that that was taped before

34:11 before anything happened.

34:13 Obviously.

34:14 Yeah. And and and actually the whole bit he did about, you know, he did this whole bit about,

34:19 well, there's no comedian that's going to be a mentalist.

34:22 K. By the way, shouldn't the mentalist have told the president to go

34:27 away quickly Yeah. Because Well, he wouldn't he have known? Doesn't a mentalist know ahead of time what's going to happen?

34:35 No.

34:36 That's not oh, that's a that's not a mentalist? Okay. Not a mentalist. No. Mentalist

34:41 is bull crap. But Kimmel had some funny bits in that. He was he was doing a as if he were doing the the White House Correspondents Dinner bit. It was alright.

34:50 I mean, yeah, it's inappropriate in hindsight.

34:54 ABC might have considered not airing that in hindsight,

34:58 but is that just dumb jokes.

35:00 I'm not offended by any of it.

35:03 I do have a

35:05 theory about this guy and

35:08 and how that ties into Comey.

35:11 This guy being the shooter and

35:14 let's just play a couple of clips. This is the the update about

35:18 8647.

35:19 Former FBI director James Comey indicted again by president Trump's department of justice.

35:25 This time by a federal grand jury over a 2025 Instagram post showing seashells arranged to read eighty six forty seven. Prosecutors argue the numbers can be interpreted as code with 86 sometimes used as slang for eliminate.

35:41 47 referring to president Donald Trump as the forty seventh president

35:45 saying the image could be seen as a threat against the president. Acting attorney general Todd Blanche announced the charges during a news conference yesterday. Listen.

35:55 The first count is in honor about

35:58 May 15.

36:00 He knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon

36:06 the president of The United States. Count two, James Comey knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a communication

36:14 that contained a threat to kill the president

36:16 of The United States. Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment

36:21 of of ten years.

36:24 So I think it's fair to say that threatening

36:27 the life of

36:29 anybody

36:30 is dangerous

36:31 and potentially a crime.

36:33 Threatening the life of the president of The United States will never be tolerated

36:38 by the Department of Justice.

36:40 While this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant,

36:45 his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct

36:48 that we will never tolerate

36:51 and that we will always investigate and

36:53 regularly prosecute. I hate to do this but I do have to play a funny little bit from the ladies

36:59 At the tone. A clip from The View will be played. They did it again. Shelter in place.

37:04 Yesterday,

37:05 former FBI director James Comey

37:08 was indicted

37:09 by the justice department

37:12 for a social media message he posted and deleted

37:16 last year.

37:18 It featured a photo of seashells that read

37:22 eighty six forty seven.

37:24 The DOJ claims it's a call for violence

37:27 but Comey denies the charges and is ready for his day in court.

37:35 So

37:36 I just wanna be clear.

37:39 Are they interviewing

37:40 the seashells themselves?

37:44 Or

37:44 are they interviewing

37:46 Sally who sells seashells on seashells.

37:51 I mean, is what

37:52 this this is more distraction. So from now on when we think that there's a I'm gonna start saying distraction alert. What? That's what this is. You can ring your bell.

38:04 What? Distraction alert.

38:06 What are what are these ladies doing? Are they trying to do No Agenda stuff now?

38:12 With that bell? Distraction of the Dumbledore.

38:15 Nothing to see here. Oh, look at that. Yeah. We have the distraction of the week as well. Ladies,

38:21 easy does it.

38:22 Now, I I think I know what's connecting this and I was searching

38:27 for quite a while and of course, this,

38:30 Cole Allen

38:31 guy, his, his Instagram is gone and his blue

38:36 cry is gone, so we can't really verify anything. I was kind of looking to see

38:41 if at any point maybe he had liked some of Comey's posts or had commented on them or following him.

38:49 And I think there's some wording in his manifesto,

38:53 that is going to be the the key

38:57 issue here for the Department of Justice. CNN reports some of Allen's social media posts compared president Trump to Hitler, encouraged people to buy guns, and questioned whether the first assassination attempt against Trump was staged. Investigators

39:11 are looking into an account on Blue Sky, an alternative to acts frequented by progressives

39:17 appearing to belong to Allen. He apparently posted under the name Cold Force, the same name signed on his alleged manifesto. Manifesto.

39:24 Archived posts show him reposting political content and criticism of president Trump and White House policies.

39:31 He described Trump as a sociopathic mob boss mob boss mob boss in relation to the Epstein files. So why is mob boss so important? Well, let's ask the don himself.

39:42 They know 86.

39:44 You know, in '86, it's a mob term

39:46 for kill him. You know? You ever see the movies? 86 him.

39:51 The mobster says to one of his wonderful associates, 86 him. That means kill him.

39:57 It's, I think of it as a mob term. I don't know. People think of it as something,

40:01 having to do disappearing, but the mob

40:04 uses that term to say when they wanna kill somebody, they say,

40:08 86

40:10 to son of a gun. I'm trying to keep the language nice and clear. They don't use that term, son of a gun. They use another term. But that's a mob term for killing. Yeah. But do really think your life is in danger? Because it's Probably. I don't know. You know, based on based on what I'm seeing out there, yeah. The the

40:27 people like Comey have created tremendous

40:30 danger,

40:31 I think, for politicians

40:33 and others. He you know, Curry Comey is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop.

40:38 He cheated on the elections.

40:39 He tried to help Hillary Clinton, as you know. He dismissed a lot of things that he should have proceeded with. I wasn't involved, but he should have proceeded with. No. He's a dirty cop. He's a crooked man. Yeah. So having this indictment come out

40:54 with,

40:55 with this mob boss,

40:57 mob boss, mob talk, mob boss, that's what gonna that's what they're gonna hang on him. And if they have some other link, social media link between that and this guy, that's what they're gonna go for.

41:08 It's not this isn't gonna go anywhere.

41:11 The the whole thing is I don't think they're really serious about it. They just wanna break him. Yeah. This is gonna to take the guy's money to down to nothing.

41:21 Major Garrett,

41:22 had a question,

41:23 when, attorney general Todd Blanche

41:26 was rolling out this 8647,

41:29 and I think it was a valid question. In 2022,

41:32 someone well known in right wing circles, Jack Viscountess posted on x eighty six forty six. He did not take it down. He did not apologize. Mister Comey has done both of those things. The Biden justice department never prosecuted him.

41:46 By the standard of that grand jury,

41:48 Jack Posobic should face charges as well. Will the justice department pursue that case? I agree. I agree. Throw Prosobic in jail. Arrest that man. He was on, with, Bannon.

42:00 Bannon. Banyan. And he says he's he's he's lawyered up. He's expecting to be arrested.

42:05 Yeah.

42:06 That's excellent.

42:09 Oh, that's good. That's good.

42:12 Yeah. You shouldn't do that.

42:14 In general, a bad idea.

42:17 Yeah. Yeah. It's not a good idea. But there were more And stay out of it. There were more indictments.

42:23 Not all of them got as much play. Did you hear about the other indictment?

42:28 Well, the guy that worked for Fauci?

42:30 Yeah. I gotta that's that's leading to the the thought that Fauci is gonna be next, but they have

42:37 it seems

42:38 until May 11.

42:40 Yeah. Because And then everything goes into

42:43 Then it's out statute of limitations Yeah. For

42:46 So here's a here's a clip about that, indictment. Doctor Anthony Fauci's former senior adviser was federally indicted on charges of allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to evade federal records request regarding government funded COVID nineteen research.

43:01 David Lawrence is a former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases official who advised Fauci in the agency's office of the director from 2006 to 2022.

43:11 He is facing charges of conspiracy against The United States, destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations,

43:19 concealment removal or mediation of records, and aiding and abetting. According to the April 16 indictment recently made public, Morins and at least two coconspirators

43:28 deliberately concealed information and falsified records to suppress alternative theories

43:33 about the origins of the coronavirus.

43:35 The allegations stem from the suspension of a controversial government grant to Echo Health Alliance, a nonprofit US research organization

43:43 suspected of contributing to the start of the COVID nineteen pandemic through risky virus studies and its subsequent reinstatement.

43:50 In 2020, the $600,000

43:52 grant was terminated based on suspicions that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology

43:57 caused the COVID nineteen outbreak,

43:59 but the grant was restored three years later. Authorities alleged that Moran's and other co conspirators

44:04 worked to help co conspirator one, who is potentially Echo Health Alliance president Peter Dasek,

44:09 reinstate the grant and counter the narrative that COVID nineteen leaked from a lab. In anticipation that the communications would be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests, they all allegedly agreed in writing to intentionally hide their collusion from public view by corresponding over Morn's personal Gmail

44:26 rather than his NIH email account. The three allegedly exchanged a nonpublic NIH information records that should be stored on government systems to influence NIH to fund Echo Health Alliance.

44:38 And, although we've covered this

44:41 ad nauseam,

44:42 the time that all this came out, just a short clip here to remind us of how brazen these people were about it. Moranz, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 02/2022,

44:54 conducted official government business from a private email account and asked National Institutes of Health's FOIA liaison for tips on how to evade records requests.

45:03 In an email from February 2021, Moranz wrote,

45:07 I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I am FOIA ed, but before the search starts.

45:13 Errest the FOIA lady. He later went on to write that he, quote, deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to Gmail.

45:20 Two months later in April 2021, Moranz also wrote, there is no worry about FOIAs.

45:26 I can either send stuff to Tony on his private Gmail

45:29 or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is What's that?

45:33 Tony Fauci? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And he was just writing this. These these guys are so dumb. Tony, the others are dumb. Yeah. His private Gmail

45:41 or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. In September 2021, Moran's wrote that he would quote, always communicate on Gmail

45:52 because my NIH email is foiled constantly

45:55 and quote, delete anything I don't wanna see in the New York Times.

45:59 Moran's oversaw a now infamous grant from the NIH to the Manhattan based nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance

46:05 beginning in 2014

46:06 that ended up funneling US taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology

46:11 for bat coronavirus research.

46:14 So I I think the idea here is to squeeze this guy, to squeal on Fauci.

46:20 But they got think they need to. I think Fauci's cooked. I mean, with with all the lying he did in front of Rand Paul.

46:27 Well

46:28 I think they're just working on making sure that's airtight.

46:30 They're they're not fooling around like the Comey thing, which I don't think is airtight. Think they're gonna

46:36 go nowhere with it, but the the Fauci thing, they're gonna get him. I hope so. That guy was evil.

46:43 And they need to get Collins.

46:45 He's not he's not clean in this either.

46:49 Remember Collins? Good point. Who would would play in his guitar with his wife.

46:53 Yeah. That guy.

46:55 What do we saw in that clip? He he played Puff the Magic Dragon.

47:03 So we have don't you remember that? Collins? Yeah. Vaguely, yeah. Puff?

47:08 No. It was Puff Coronavirus.

47:11 I don't think I have it. Francis Collins.

47:16 Let's see. Now if you'll indulge me because it's been kind of promoted as if it might be a grand finale of a musical sort,

47:23 I guess I'd like to This play a

47:26 was this was the head the head of all things sickness in America. With a little song. Yes. So if I might, I just need a microphone.

47:36 Why? There's a guitar right here. How about that? It's like he's it's like he's on the Muppet show. It's like he's Kermit.

47:43 Yeah. This is a song

47:45 where the tune will be familiar to you. Here we go. Unless you came from another planet recently,

47:51 but the words are going to be quite different

47:53 because this is really a song for Oh, come on. I'm trying to imagine Come on. What will that be like.

47:58 We're gonna get there, and you're gonna help us get there.

48:02 So that's what this is about. Man,

48:05 arrest him

48:07 for violation of music. Come

48:09 where

48:11 past

48:11 the pandemic.

48:14 Forgot this one. We're

48:16 free.

48:17 Oh, it was good times on the show back then, John.

48:22 He had he had Kennedy's job essentially.

48:25 Yeah. And that's what he was doing.

48:28 Oh my goodness.

48:30 My goodness.

48:32 And then

48:33 on this this all happened like, you know, basically the same week, same day.

48:39 Super agent J. D. Vance,

48:41 the frauds are going after everybody. Currently underway,

48:45 federal agents seem leaving the Quality Learning Center,

48:49 and Brooke Taylor has more on that and, what they're looking for. Brooke, good morning.

48:53 Hi, Bill. Good morning. Yeah. We have had a photographer there at the day care since this morning capturing video of those federal agents just going in and out of the building, collecting evidence

49:04 as part of the DOJ's fraud investigation

49:07 in Minnesota. Take a look at this video here. Sources tell Fox that federal agents are raiding about 22

49:15 businesses across

49:16 Minneapolis

49:17 this morning,

49:18 and sources say many of them are tied to Somali owned operations.

49:22 Now the location that you're looking at right now, it's the Quality Learning Center. This is the day that went viral. Blew up on social media,

49:31 because of a sign outside with learning that was literally misspelled.

49:35 And then shortly after that, the Trump administration

49:38 announced it was freezing childcare funding

49:41 to Minnesota and calling for a full audit of certain daycare centers.

49:46 And just checking my emails now, it looks like we got a statement from DHS

49:51 sharing, quote, homeland security

49:53 investigations

49:54 in cooperation

49:56 with our law enforcement partners

49:58 executed criminal search warrants in Minneapolis

50:01 relating to the rampant fraud of US taxpayers'

50:04 dollars.

50:05 And as you could see, there are federal agents

50:08 still outside one of those day care centers where they have been the last few hours.

50:13 And all of this comes as governor Tim Waltz is expected to deliver his state of the state address

50:20 tonight, and it's obviously comes with a lot of questions over oversight.

50:26 Yeah. Well, at least it looks they're doing something. I think people want that. People want I like the fact that that Walsh has chimed in and taken credit for the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah.

50:36 You don't happen to have a clip of him saying that, do you? No. I don't. No. That's too bad. He's on top of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm taking care of business here, people.

50:47 Alright.

50:50 I have a kind of a side clip here since we're talking about disease.

50:54 Oh. Have you heard about this typhus in Los Angeles?

50:57 You know,

50:59 ever since your operation,

51:01 you're really focusing in on death and disease on the I

51:05 mean, I don't know if that's that's, related,

51:07 but it's Well, you know, this is the new me. Well, it seems that in Los Angeles, we have all time highs of flea borne typhus

51:15 Ew. Which is a disease. It's a bacterial infection.

51:19 It can be treated with antibiotics,

51:21 but it's pretty serious. According to the LA County Department of Public Health, nine out of ten of the people who contract this have to be hospitalized.

51:28 So this is not just a head cold,

51:30 and this is carried by fleas

51:32 on rats.

51:34 Rats. And guess why we have the all time high

51:37 of flea born typhus in Los Angeles County. Immigrants. Because it's a combination of things. It's the fact that they won't enforce an anti camping ordinance and stop people from living on the sidewalks. That's part of what's drawing rats.

51:51 There also was a state ban on some of the poisons that people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion populations, and that's a factor also. Yeah. Because the mountain lions in Downtown LA. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. So don't use rat poison because it's hurting the mountain lions

52:08 Yeah. That are roaming the streets of Los Angeles. Yeah. The wolves. Oh, excellent. That people were using for rat control in order to preserve the mountain lion population, so that's a factor also. Uh-huh. And then we have garbage.

52:20 Garbage. At unprecedented levels

52:23 all over.

52:24 Illegal dumping all over. And why is that? Because we have idiotic laws in California trying to reduce the amount

52:30 of landfill.

52:32 So they try to force the businesses to make do with smaller and smaller containers and fewer containers,

52:38 and the result is illegal dumping. All of these things is just blithering idiotic policy, and now we have medieval diseases sweeping through Los Angeles County. Yeah. Medieval disease have I have I told you about the term typhus in in Dutch in The Netherlands?

52:52 No. I have a feeling I maybe I told this to someone recently.

52:56 To this day, you know, The Netherlands, Holland very old very old country. Amsterdam itself is like 770

53:03 years old I think. Just that city.

53:06 To this day, people, if they're mad at you, like really mad, they'll say, or

53:12 that can also just be if you stub your toe,

53:18 But it's when said to someone else, means get typhus.

53:22 Yeah. People say, the Dutch are so kind to each other.

53:26 In the middle ages, if you had a Typhus.

53:29 You you get typhus. That was I guess that was a die, kind of like, why don't you die type thing.

53:36 But you we don't have Yes. Yeah. We don't have to die from typhus anymore, do we? I don't well, it's not something you wanna you always get hospitalized, apparently. No.

53:46 It's not good. But at least we have mountain lions.

53:50 That's

53:52 a good idea. Now, see, so you say I'm I'm focusing on gloom and doom. Is that because I played the Kara Swiss Swisher thing? Is that the reason? No. On the on the last show, you had the last two shows has been, here's a new flu, here's a new disease, we're gonna die from I can't even have another new flu. You see? I'm telling you, you just you just want death and destruction. This is what you're all Yeah.

54:14 Okay.

54:15 What is it? You got a new flu? New flu?

54:18 I thought I had a new flu thing on this thing. No. The care doesn't

54:22 care. Oh, did not no. No. No new flu. This is worse.

54:26 What do you got? Yeah.

54:28 New bad opioid.

54:30 Oh. Have you heard this? Oh.

54:32 Have I heard it? I've tried it. A new danger on Bay Area streets tonight as health leaders discover the signs of a deadly new drug. San Francisco just had its first overdose death from a new kind of opioid.

54:44 Good evening, Doctor And I'm Dan Ashley. Thanks for joining us. The drug is stronger than fentanyl, believe it or not, and just started to circulate in The United States. This one is especially alarming to experts because the team Especially. We have to handle fentanyl do not work very well against it. ABC seven eyewitness news reporter Tara Campbell has covered the fentanyl crisis for years, and she explains what makes this drug different. San Francisco public health officials are sounding the alarm on a new synthetic opioid. This is not fentanyl. We believe it is more potent than fentanyl.

55:16 It was found, we believe,

55:18 in someone using a counterfeit pill. It's called cyclophene,

55:23 and for the first time, it's showing up in San Francisco

55:26 linked to an overdose death earlier this month. The the first time DEA seen it was in 2024

55:33 at one of our labs down in

55:35 Florida. Says cyclophene could show up in just about any other drug. It can be mixed into a a pill. It can be sold as a powder. It can be sold mixed in with cocaine.

55:45 It can be sold as cocaine again. And making the drug most concerning is it's difficult to test if it's been put in other drugs. And importantly,

55:54 it's not detected

55:55 on the available fentanyl test strips

55:58 that are out there. It's also believed to be resistant to Narcan,

56:02 also known as naloxone,

56:04 the nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose.

56:07 Officials warning it could take multiple doses for it to kick in. The public health department and the DEA both reiterating the importance of staying away from counterfeit pills, saying the drug supply is as unpredictable

56:20 as ever. Tara Campbell, ABC seven, Eyewitness News. Here's a thought kids. Don't take any pills. How about that? Yeah. I was thinking not. I'm not take don't take any pills. Any pills at all.

56:31 Okay.

56:32 Those days are over. Well, death and destruction. Very good.

56:37 I've got a couple things about Iran

56:39 as,

56:40 the war which doesn't seem to be a fighting war at the moment continues.

56:44 We have posts and tweets and slashes on the x's and all kinds of stuff, and here's the latest.

56:51 So president Trump issuing a new warning to Tehran,

56:55 overnight as he reportedly tells AIDS to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. Lucas Tomlinson is live in Dubai with the latest. Hey, Lucas.

57:04 Good morning, Brian. After the state dinner where president Trump honored king Charles and Rory McElroy, the president taking a true social early this morning to send this warning to Iran about the war ending saying, quote,

57:16 Iran can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non nuclear deal. They better get smart soon, perhaps a reference to reopening the Strait Of Hormuz. Now the Wall Street Journal reporting Trump tells Ace to prepare for extended blockade of Iran. Quote, he assessed that his other options, resume bombing or walk away from the conflict, carried more risk than maintaining the blockade, officials said. Now that blockade, Brian, has been in effect for over two weeks in an attempt to open the Strait Of Hormuz, which remains effectively closed. While the blockade aims to shut down the oil trade in Iran, its effects are also being felt at home as the price of gasoline is now the highest since July 2022.

57:52 Now pain also being felt inside Iran as the Iranian real has plummeted to a record low trading at around 1,800,000

58:00 reals to the dollar. You might need a wheelbarrow to go shopping. Oh,

58:04 that's not good. So of course, I'm in constant contact with the oil Baron about all of this.

58:11 He is after all an oil Baron and he follows everything and he understands this and he has a lot of knowledge. So I'm always trying to get information out of him. And then he he just went off yesterday like, I can't believe this stupid president. This president he doesn't know everything. He's saying stupid things.

58:27 Stupid.

58:28 Put an idiot. And this is what it was about. President Trump said on Sunday, well, the Iranians have only three days before their pipelines

58:36 explode because they've had to shut down production and the pipelines are under so much pressure because they're still full of oil.

58:42 That doesn't just sound like a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. It is literally a scene from a Tom Clancy novel. Although a former US intelligence officer told me it's it's silly. Of course, they know how to shut down production. They are not three days away from their pipelines exploding.

58:56 Yes. I would say the oil baron agrees that the pipe the pipelines will not explode, but

59:03 they will have to shut down production and it does take a bit to to restart it. But we know how to do that. Everyone knows how to do that. It happened during COVID.

59:11 And they're offloading, you know, now they're What happened during COVID?

59:15 Well, there was less oil being used so they everyone slowed Yeah. But they didn't shut down any refineries.

59:20 No. No. I'm not this is just the wells. Not talking about the refineries, the wells. Oh, the wells. The wells. You can refineries

59:26 are a pain in the ass to start. Yeah. Yeah. No. But they're they're slowing it down. They're, you know, they're flaring all the time. So yeah. But eventually,

59:35 they'll you know, these rickety ships that they're loading in the oil onto,

59:39 you know, they

59:40 will reach a capacity and they're just not selling. So that's why the real is in in the tank and the results are predictable. Well, markets will be open today after an unsuccessful weekend for diplomacy in The Middle East. New uncertainties in the region weighing on the stock market and oil futures.

59:57 The situation in the Strait Of Hormuz has sent global energy costs skyrocketing as you just heard in Bradley Blackburn's report, the impact on gas prices. Oil up roughly 40%

1:00:07 since the conflict began.

1:00:09 President Trump says the prices could remain high

1:00:11 through November. A CBS News poll found most Americans think gas prices have been a financial hardship as we also heard,

1:00:19 from that report from Bradley Blackburn.

1:00:21 Democrats are blaming the administration.

1:00:23 Yes. And, so this is this is the part that the oil Baron and I are reaching consensus on. When the president says through November, well, what's in November? November,

1:00:32 we know are the midterms.

1:00:34 So he's pegging that and

1:00:37 the belief is that he will delight and surprise everybody by drastically

1:00:42 lowering

1:00:43 gas prices

1:00:44 before that and then being able to spike the ball just before the midterms. So it's gonna do that? Ah, with the big government short. The outlook report is based on a view that oil prices will fall. I mean, I suppose that links to what futures are are suggesting as well, and that's been much remarked upon that the is there too much optimism then baked into futures expectations around oil prices future expectations around oil prices, do you think, Peter? Because this is going to be something that lots of central banks put pick up on. You know, rather than estimating oil prices themselves, they'll probably just go with the futures curve, won't they? That's what they all do when they make their their inflation forecast. They they base it off the futures curve, which is in, you know, my which is in backwardation.

1:01:23 I I think the issue really here is if we look at the oil futures curve, for example, December contracts,

1:01:29 prewar, there were levels of around $55 per per barrel. At the moment, they're what? $80.85.

1:01:34 Right? So we are pricing it off a much, much higher inflationary base. That's that's pretty clear. And is it fair to call oil a bit lower? I would say probably yes.

1:01:42 But we're gonna have high oil prices probably for the next three to four months. According

1:01:47 to the oil Baron, this is his his theory and I'm all in on. He says we've never had this this wide of a divergence between spot and future prices which the term is backwardation.

1:01:59 And he believes that the government

1:02:01 is going to short oil massively

1:02:04 and he's preparing for it with all kinds of hedges.

1:02:07 And then we add this little ditty to the mix about The UAE. UAE will leave OPEC after six decades as it plans a strategic realignment

1:02:16 in the wake of the war. Bloomberg oil reporter, Aleric Knight, and Gail joins us on this,

1:02:22 really huge

1:02:23 news,

1:02:24 Aleric. And I wonder, first, what it says about the relationship

1:02:29 between the GCC countries amidst

1:02:31 this war and also, you know, what it means for production. Can The UAE,

1:02:37 put more oil barrels on the market without the constraints of OPEC?

1:02:43 Well, in answer to the last question,

1:02:45 that's really at the heart of the issue.

1:02:48 The UAE has long kind of pressed to be able to produce more oil

1:02:54 without any kind of constraints from OPEC or has been one of the countries that has been eager to add more barrels.

1:03:01 And by doing this,

1:03:04 once the war is over, this gives it an opportunity to do so. In terms of the kind of unity of Gulf countries, I think that really,

1:03:11 in a way, this is an opportunity to for The UAE to do something

1:03:17 when it's not going to cause a market stir. We

1:03:20 know when the market kind of or when the situation in The Middle East hopefully returns to normal, that The UAE is going all of the countries are gonna need to try and ramp up and and get supply to the market. That's that's obvious.

1:03:33 And

1:03:34 right now, they can't there's a big shortfall that needs to be recovered.

1:03:38 So they and others are going to be doing that. And, in the early stages,

1:03:42 you know, this gives them an opportunity do that like everybody else. You

1:03:47 know, I've been watching UAE

1:03:49 with the stable coin purchase from the Trump brothers

1:03:53 with,

1:03:54 you know, the Muhammad dude going, yeah, you know, we're we're we're we're we're doing different things and now they leave OPEC, which that'll blow up OPEC.

1:04:03 These guys they can do 5,000,000 barrels a day. They have a pipeline into the

1:04:09 the Gulf Of Oman.

1:04:11 Is it Oman? Off of Oman, I think.

1:04:13 Saudi Arabia has a pipeline over to the Red Sea.

1:04:17 So everyone's gonna it's every man for himself. I think this this is this is the big news to me, this blowing up of OPEC.

1:04:26 And UAE was just the first one to go, you know, in bed with the presidents, with the presidents' sons at least.

1:04:33 So everyone will start pumping

1:04:36 and Well, they gotta get the straits open first. You don't need the straits. They go be they go outside the strait. They have the pipeline which goes around the straits. Well, the Saudi pipeline can only account for like a third of production.

1:04:47 Oh, Absolutely.

1:04:49 But remember, we've got Venezuelan oil, got American oil.

1:04:53 I mean, it it may not be as I mean,

1:04:57 why else is the market pricing this backwardation in at at $55

1:05:01 in December?

1:05:03 Optimists.

1:05:06 I'm thinking Calci bets.

1:05:09 Well, maybe. I mean, it's possible. Well, the oil Baron thinks he says the government is going to short oil just before the midterms.

1:05:17 So I'm gonna take his word for it.

1:05:20 And I think I think that's a pretty good bet.

1:05:23 I won't bet not gonna help the midterms at all. No. You won't It

1:05:28 takes like a month before the prices stabilize at the pump. So he'll do it in October.

1:05:34 It's it's it's November. I think he's optimistic here.

1:05:38 Who? The oil Yeah.

1:05:41 I don't know. He's in the business.

1:05:43 Well, he's he's not gonna be a a, you know, a a negative Nelly.

1:05:49 He's in the business where, you know, he's gotta he's gotta make his predictions and He's that a super negative Nelly. He's been negative this whole time about this. He's like, oh, I hate the president.

1:05:59 Republican

1:06:00 presidents are the worst for my business. This is no good. And then he's like, hold on a second. Now and and by the way, that's not positive for him.

1:06:09 This is today is positive for him. He's like, yeah, it's good.

1:06:12 He doesn't want oil at 55, he's just calling it as he sees it.

1:06:17 How can that be positive for him?

1:06:21 I'm just saying. No. Okay.

1:06:24 Okay. Let's see what else we got. He's a very successful guy.

1:06:28 Yeah. Okay. Mhmm. Take your word for it. Yeah. No. Take his word. Not my word. Take his word for it.

1:06:34 I don't know the guy. You should meet the guy.

1:06:38 Let okay. Should. He's a good guy.

1:06:41 Let's take a quick break

1:07:42 dream date. What is thirty four plus sixty six? Thirty four plus sixty six. '99.

1:07:50 '98.

1:07:51 What year was The US founded? I know the answer to that. Okay. 1982.

1:07:56 The United States was founded in 1982.

1:07:59 Sammy,

1:08:00 who did The US gain its independence from? France. France? We brought this up earlier. France.

1:08:05 Europe? I

1:08:06 think. How many letters in the alphabet? 24.

1:08:10 What language do people in Idaho speak? French.

1:08:14 Yeah. You may find this funny. I find it deeply deeply sad and disturbing.

1:08:20 Deeply deeply sad and disturbing. Yeah. That's interesting. You and me. Yes. I find it hilarious.

1:08:26 Yes. Yeah. You like the bird talking, bird hands girls on TikTok. This where's Chanel Ryan? She needs to have you on again. What happened to that show?

1:08:36 Yes. I know. What happened to her? Are you still on that show? She knows she's back. She's back. She had a baby. Oh, okay. She had a baby and you had a bypass. So here it's Yeah. When my bypass is fully healed, I'll go back and do do a show maybe. It's baby in the bypass. It's like Sanford and Son.

1:08:51 It's a good now that's a great YouTube show.

1:08:55 It would do better on YouTube.

1:08:58 The clips are on YouTube. Okay.

1:09:03 By the way,

1:09:06 when, the shooting took place at the at the meetup at the at the At meetup? At the meetup. At the Trump Meetup. Yes.

1:09:13 Yes. Wolf Blitzer, I guess, was right there because he went to the bathroom or something. Oh, okay. Claims he was right next to the shooter.

1:09:22 And Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait. The shooter didn't even make it into the ballroom.

1:09:26 No. But I guess the bathroom where he had to go out outside the ballroom to get to the bathroom. Oh, okay. Alright. He had that crap or something. Who knows? But he has this story about it. And they they play he's on all these different shows talking about it because he's an eyewitness.

1:09:43 But this is what when they first caught him right afterwards

1:09:47 when he's shaking like a leaf and talking about how scared he is and the whole thing. I thought this is probably the one of the best

1:09:57 example of of a journalist from CNN at work in the field shooting Blitzer.

1:10:03 I feel if I I'm just scared. It

1:10:06 it was scary.

1:10:07 I was a few feet away from the gunman as he was firing. It was loud. It was scary. The cops got on top of him, and then they got on top of me to protect me. And then they took me away into a secure room, a men's room. It was just a frightening experience. How were you able to do live TV after all of that? How was I what? Live

1:10:26 TV after all of that? A broadcast

1:10:29 professional.

1:10:30 And I I just did it. I told the truth. What I saw, that was that.

1:10:37 Okay. The yeah. I have to give it to you. That was dynamite.

1:10:43 Into a broadcast professional.

1:10:46 I was scared. Into a secure room, the men's room. That

1:10:51 was good.

1:10:53 Man. Poor Wolf.

1:10:57 You know, he

1:10:58 I empathize with him because like us, he has to do that job.

1:11:03 You know, I'm I'm sure he didn't save any money. You know, what kind of money did Wolf Blitzer save from his CNN paycheck?

1:11:09 You know, so it's like us.

1:11:11 We're stuck here.

1:11:13 Stuck doing this show.

1:11:15 Yeah. Playing clips of I Only Fans

1:11:17 mean, you know,

1:11:19 I empathize

1:11:20 with Wolf.

1:11:22 Alright.

1:11:25 The sixty days are almost up.

1:11:30 I'm I I somehow congress believes that the war powers

1:11:35 act is in play

1:11:37 even though the president never called for this And the sixty days are up and Pete I saw Pete Hagsteth this morning

1:11:45 saying, no no no.

1:11:47 During the ceasefire,

1:11:48 we stopped counting.

1:11:51 So we really have another I didn't hear this. No. It was this morning. I didn't have time to clip it, but it was hilarious.

1:11:58 Then, you know, and then you have another thirty days. But I I still think they filed this under UN

1:12:03 section 51,

1:12:04 so I I don't exactly know what congress is doing. But here's an ABC Martha Radet's report about

1:12:11 the waste.

1:12:13 Tonight with an eye popping $25,000,000,000

1:12:17 price tag for the Iran war. I never heard her say with an eye popping 150,000,000,000

1:12:22 for

1:12:23 Ukraine. Never heard her say that. The Strait Of Hormuz blocked and no end in sight. Secretary

1:12:28 Pete Hegseth not backing down on Capitol Hill,

1:12:32 instead pointing the finger at Congress. The biggest challenge,

1:12:37 the biggest adversary we face at this point

1:12:40 are the reckless,

1:12:42 feckless, and defeatist words Feckless. Of congressional Democrats

1:12:46 and some Republicans.

1:12:47 The secretary combative,

1:12:49 but defensive,

1:12:51 and dismissive.

1:12:52 The president has got himself and America stuck in the quagmire of another war in The Middle East. Yeah. This is you, John. That's what that's how you sound. That's

1:13:01 your comment. Congressman, you should know better. Shame on you. Shame on you. Calling this a quagmire two months in. Claiming a tactical victory. It's been an astounding military success. No. But are we winning the war?

1:13:12 Absolutely. But pressed about the justification

1:13:15 for war? Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated.

1:13:30 Now you're saying that it was completely obliterated?

1:13:33 Not given up their nuclear ambitions.

1:13:36 The grilling on Capitol Hill comes tonight as gas prices hit a new high. With the Strait Of Hormuz closed,

1:13:43 drivers now paying $4.26

1:13:46 per gallon, up a dollar and 32¢

1:13:49 since the war began. Do you know how much it will cost Americans

1:13:53 in terms of their increased cost in gas

1:13:56 and food over the next year because of the Iran war? I would simply ask you what the cost is of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Overnight,

1:14:03 president Trump posting Iran better get smart soon. Now they have to cry uncle. That's all they have to do. Just say,

1:14:11 we give up. That cry uncle.

1:14:14 I think he's right. I think we the time is on our side. It just doesn't seem to be that much going on. For him,

1:14:21 nothing matters for,

1:14:23 for the congress, for the midterms, a lot of it matters. And then we have

1:14:29 the Atlantic reporting interesting things.

1:14:32 This morning, a new report in the Atlantic is raising questions about what the president is being told about the war in Iran by his closest advisers.

1:14:40 According to the magazine, vice president Vance has repeatedly questioned the defense department's depiction of the war in Iran and whether the Pentagon has understated what appears to be the drastic depletion of US missile stockpiles.

1:14:51 The Pentagon has claimed US weapons stockpiles are robust, but the report claims Vance has expressed concerns about the availability of certain missile systems. The White House has not publicly responded to the claims. Meanwhile, Iran has Well,

1:15:05 actually, the president did respond to those claims in his typical backwards fashion. So they had a 159

1:15:12 ships.

1:15:13 Every ship is right now underwater.

1:15:15 Typically, that's pretty good. What do you think, Jared? I mean,

1:15:19 it's gonna be hard for them to make a naval comeback. Okay. Now they have an air force. Every one of their planes has been shot down or has been decimated.

1:15:29 They have missiles.

1:15:30 About 82%

1:15:32 are gone.

1:15:33 And they have drones,

1:15:34 and most

1:15:35 of them are gone. Most of the factories are mostly gone.

1:15:39 And we have tremendous anti drone equipment now between lasers and that new

1:15:44 very special machine gun Oh, hold on a second. That knocks them out of the air like flies. And we use bullets instead of million dollar, you know, missiles. Oh, okay. So we don't need missiles.

1:15:57 We have lasers

1:15:58 and that very special machine gun.

1:16:01 Have you seen this machine gun that the president references?

1:16:04 No. Have you? No. It's very special. I'm very excited to see it in action. Knock out a $30,000

1:16:10 drone.

1:16:11 So I would say Jared would tell me that Jared. With everything you just heard, typically, we're in pretty good shape.

1:16:18 And in addition, their economy is crashing.

1:16:22 Okay. So that's that's the play. We don't need million dollar missiles. We shoot the drones with bullets and lasers and our special machine gun.

1:16:33 Okay.

1:16:35 So

1:16:36 Yeah. Yeah. These these drones are cheap. Yeah. Well, that's why we're not using missiles. But according to the Atlantic,

1:16:43 vice president Vance is very worried that we don't have any more missiles.

1:16:47 So breaking

1:16:48 news, nobody knows nothing.

1:16:50 But then we have the whole question of

1:16:54 the nuclear

1:16:56 war capability of Iran and

1:16:59 and so there's two sides.

1:17:02 There's the CIA side

1:17:04 which I don't hear the president talking about CIA ever.

1:17:08 Do you ever hear him talking about CIA? He's done a deal with him.

1:17:12 What what kind of deal?

1:17:14 He's gonna they're not gonna mess with him and he's gonna stop bad mouthing him.

1:17:19 Well, so the way I see it is the CIA is bad mouthing him.

1:17:24 They are messing with him, but they're doing it through CIA

1:17:28 cutouts.

1:17:29 Mainly,

1:17:30 Curryaku,

1:17:32 your guy, Curryaku,

1:17:34 and Tucker, who comes from a CIA family.

1:17:37 So I don't know if you saw Curryaku on Tucker. It came out a couple days ago. It was one of the worst of the Curryaku

1:17:43 Yes. Interviews. Certainly was, but I did pull two clips from it. Two or three weeks after this war began, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned. In his resignation letter, he said, I believe

1:17:56 he didn't say this in his letter, he said it in an interview with me shortly after the next day He said, I believe the Butler assassination

1:18:04 attempt,

1:18:06 the other assassination attempt in Florida, a couple of breaches of Donald Trump's personal security secret service detail,

1:18:14 and Charlie Kirk's murder may all have played a role

1:18:18 in convincing the president to go to war with Iran.

1:18:21 What do you think that I

1:18:23 would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me let me preface this by saying I don't have any inside information. I don't either.

1:18:29 But I would not be surprised. Well, I

1:18:33 don't have any inside I don't know nothing I but

1:18:36 would not be at all surprised. You know what? Let me let me preface this by saying I don't don't have any inside information. I don't either. But I would not Either. Be surprised

1:18:45 if

1:18:47 a person or multiple people got into the president's ear

1:18:51 and said,

1:18:52 this isn't a coincidence

1:18:54 that there were these three events.

1:18:56 There were these three events because the Iranians are behind it. They've got these cells.

1:19:00 They're around The United States. We can't identify them. We can't catch them, but they're gunning for you.

1:19:06 And Charlie Kirk was, you know, a practice hit or Charlie Kirk was a message or whatever.

1:19:15 And I wouldn't be surprised if the president would believe something like that. If if people he trusts

1:19:20 are telling him there's a problem and the problem originates in Iran, whether it's true or not,

1:19:27 that he would respond to that. I a lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. Can confirm if people told him Iran is out to kill you Not serial assassination A lot of people told him that. Who did he get this from? This is propaganda

1:19:41 from these two yahoos. That's obvious.

1:19:44 It's obvious. Well, Charlie Kirk was a warning from Iran. Really?

1:19:50 Really? A lot of people have been telling him that. It's a fact. I know this is stupid. He believed him. It's a fact. Originates in Iran, whether it's true or not,

1:19:58 that he would respond to that. I a lot of people did tell him that. That's a fact. I can confirm it. People told him. I confirm can it. I can

1:20:06 it. I can confirm it. Who, Tucker? Kill you the Butler assassination

1:20:10 attempt. What the Iran was behind it. People were saying that. Fact. Mhmm.

1:20:15 Fact. Facts. Just using the word fact. I'm gonna use that all the time. I'm gonna say that to Tina.

1:20:21 I did not break that cup. Fact.

1:20:24 Fact. I

1:20:26 took out the trash. Fact.

1:20:29 This works really well in all relationships.

1:20:32 But really what they're getting at is the obvious. I I fully understand how this was in Israel's interest and the Israelis have long wanted us to attack Iran and to overthrow the the regime in Tehran. I get that. It's in their interests. But

1:20:48 I've never believed I don't think any CIA officer, past or present,

1:20:53 believes or has believed that the Iranians were anywhere near a nuclear,

1:20:58 weapon.

1:20:59 They don't have a delivery system

1:21:02 that could deliver a nuclear weapon to The United States.

1:21:06 And It wasn't know, when you've got two national intelligence estimates,

1:21:11 a national intelligence estimate is a sense of the entire intelligence community, all 18 organizations within The US intelligence community The same guys who brought you Russiagate.

1:21:22 Unanimously

1:21:22 concluding

1:21:24 that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program twice

1:21:29 as well as the late There's no program? No program.

1:21:33 No.

1:21:34 No. Come on.

1:21:36 Now, I'm not a big I'm not a big believer. That's pretty lame. I'm not a big believer in interview I've ever seen him do. But these are two out of work CIA guys yapping,

1:21:46 just yapping

1:21:48 and

1:21:49 and

1:21:50 CIA is

1:21:52 connected at the hip with m I six

1:21:55 who don't want anything to change in Iran.

1:21:58 They love that. Keep it the way it is, keep oil prices a little unstable, we love this, this is the way it should be, we've got everything, we got the shipping, we got the insurance, all that. We don't want we don't want anyone to take out Iran or do anything.

1:22:11 And if anything,

1:22:13 this president

1:22:14 listens to the military.

1:22:16 Now, I'm not saying the military knows what they're doing, but I'll bet they have better intelligence than the CIA about what's what's happening in Iran.

1:22:25 I bet they've war gamed this whole thing out for decades for decades.

1:22:31 And of course, they say something completely different from the fact that Tucker and Curryaku have. Iran.

1:22:38 And this is with their cheerleader,

1:22:41 Lady G.

1:22:43 Do you believe that 2013 is a year of reckoning when it comes to Iran?

1:22:48 Senator, every year I seem to have a year of reckoning. So,

1:22:52 again, I'm paid to take be a sentinel for this country. Uh-huh. So I consider 2013 a year of reckoning. K. Now when it comes to Iran, you said that the sanctions you believe were not working in their ultimate goal of deterring them from acquiring a new capability.

1:23:06 Is that correct? That's correct, sir. Their nuclear industry continues.

1:23:10 Now what is the likelihood that they would work in the future in your view?

1:23:16 I believe this regime,

1:23:18 it can't win the affections of its own people,

1:23:23 I think they are very concerned that the ionic sanctions could turn the people against them, in which case, I think they'd cost benefit.

1:23:30 They could be willing to give up even the nuclear effort to stay in power. Do you think that's the most likely scenario if we continue sanctions?

1:23:39 I

1:23:40 think we have to continue sanctions but have other options

1:23:44 ready. Yeah. Do you believe that the Israelis would attack Iran

1:23:48 if they believed they had reached a critical point in terms of nuclear capability?

1:23:53 The Israelis have said so, senator. I take them at their word. If they did attack Iran, would they need our help militarily?

1:24:01 They could conduct a strike without our help.

1:24:05 So that was 2013,

1:24:07 the Armed Services Committee from the Senate with Lady g. This is 2021.

1:24:12 Now this is General McKenzie. I'll start with with what is my most challenging driver of instability, the actions of Iran. For more than forty years, the Iranian regime has funded and aggressively supported

1:24:23 terrorism and terrorist organizations

1:24:25 and defied international norms by conducting malign activities which destabilized

1:24:30 not only the region, but global security and commerce as well.

1:24:34 Iran is a major source of instability in Iraq and uses Iraq as a proxy battleground

1:24:40 against The United States.

1:24:42 Iran's actions

1:24:43 also contribute to the instability seen in Syria and Yemen, two regional conflicts that have resulted in millions of refugees, famine, and outbreaks of diseases.

1:24:52 So what are we doing to mitigate this instability?

1:24:55 I believe our presence in the region, mostly defensive in nature, has brought us to a period of contested deterrence with Iran.

1:25:02 That presence sends a sears as clear and unambiguous signal of our capabilities and will. The capabilities and will to defend partners in US national interests, a signal which has been clearly received by the Iranian regime.

1:25:16 Yeah. So there's your two sides,

1:25:19 military industrial complex versus CIA.

1:25:21 CIA

1:25:23 connected to all the financial stuff with m I six, there's

1:25:26 nothing, keep it going. And military, we wanna kill somebody.

1:25:30 And then apparently Trump in the middle like, oh, Iran is trying to attack you, mister president.

1:25:36 This is this is a load of bull crap.

1:25:41 Yeah. Well

1:25:42 So kind of overlook some of the elements of the,

1:25:46 cult like behavior of the Iranian,

1:25:49 regime. I'll say.

1:25:51 Just a little

1:25:53 is kind of an Armageddon

1:25:55 oriented

1:25:56 doomsday

1:25:57 cold. Oh, yeah. The U the YouTube pastors are all over that.

1:26:01 Well, there's there's there's a lot of evidence for it. Yeah. And the idea is is to develop a nuke, blow up Jerusalem

1:26:10 Mhmm. And and get until the twelfth imam comes back. And and and and he'll be on a white horse too.

1:26:16 And he's like a thousand years old. He's he's a cool dude. And we He's need gonna come back and save the day.

1:26:26 Yeah.

1:26:27 With Jesus by his side, by That's the right. I know. I know Jesus gonna be right there. Yeah. Yep. As he was as soon as the twelfth, the imam

1:26:34 these guys are nuts. Yes.

1:26:36 Yes. And so they really should probably better off just, eliminating them. And I think I think that's happening, but we'll see. Now they're trying. I think they've run out of targets.

1:26:46 Yeah. Well, we'll see.

1:26:49 Right now, it seems like we have what was this other clip that I had? Oh, yeah. This was from GB News. The war on Iran has not just brutally exposed Britain's military and frankly leadership weakness.

1:27:02 Largely unreported is the war's exposure of London's financial system to meltdown, and with it, our global influence.

1:27:09 Lloyds of London was the center of global maritime insurance until Trump began his strikes.

1:27:15 Reliant on its access to world class intelligence,

1:27:18 the world's insurance markets moved in hock to Lloyd's. However,

1:27:22 reports indicate the insurers were caught off guard by this war. They had no knowledge prior. And in response policies for ships transporting oil and other goods in and out of The Gulf were either cancelled

1:27:33 or sold by up to 100,000

1:27:36 Global oil transport risk collapsed,

1:27:39 not because they were necessarily in danger, but because the insurance rates became prohibitively expensive.

1:27:46 Donald Trump has stepped in ordering the US Development Finance Corporation to cheaply ensure all maritime trade,

1:27:53 cutting Lloyd's out. This is The US's chance to kill London's insurance market,

1:27:59 and with it, a lot of The UK's international influence.

1:28:02 Think of it. Lloyd's of London was so influential, it had the ability to shut down the global transport of oil. That's an asset Britain wouldn't want to lose.

1:28:12 But Trump's public fallout with Kirstjarma suggests he'll be unlikely to take pity on us once he has the world ensuring it ships cheaply

1:28:20 by The US.

1:28:22 Is this the final nail in the coffin for British global influence or will The US loaths in Iran and Kyr Starma be proved right to have acted so cautiously?

1:28:33 Now the DFC

1:28:34 reached That's an excellent clip by the way. Thank you. And I would put my money on Trump before I would on Curry Starmer. Yes.

1:28:42 And and our gay general Patton who set up the DFC maritime reinsurance program,

1:28:48 Scott Besant, which is now up to 40,000,000,000.

1:28:50 I can't find any evidence anyone's using it yet,

1:28:55 but it's they're open for business.

1:28:57 So

1:28:59 that would be phenomenal

1:29:01 and that would be the win.

1:29:03 That would be a big change in things. Meanwhile,

1:29:06 everybody's blaming everything on Iran.

1:29:09 You know what? Donations for the No Agenda show are down. You know why?

1:29:13 Iran. Iran. Alright. Hey, everyone. Thanks for joining today.

1:29:17 We had a strong quarter for our community, our business, and our progress towards AI.

1:29:23 More than 3,500,000,000

1:29:25 people use at least one of our apps every day.

1:29:28 We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to Internet outages in a Yeah. This is Zuckerberg on the on the earnings call. Yeah. Listen. People Listen. Use at least one of our apps every day.

1:29:40 We saw a small decrease in total family dailies due to Internet outages in Iran and blocks in Russia. What? But otherwise, trends across our apps were strong.

1:29:49 Daily and monthly actives on Instagram and Facebook continue to grow with video driving all time high engagement across both apps. It's Iran, baby. We're down just a little bit because of Iran. And then

1:30:01 his CFO,

1:30:03 Susan Lee, I've never even heard this woman, but I would happen I happen to be listening to the the earnings call.

1:30:10 I think she's a bot.

1:30:12 I think she's actual AI. And that Zuckerberg has made an AI CFO listen to this woman speak. Thanks, Mark, and good afternoon, everyone.

1:30:21 Begin with our Right?

1:30:23 Right away. I was like, she's she's not real. This can't this can't be true. Thanks, Mark, and good afternoon, everyone.

1:30:31 Let's begin with our segment results.

1:30:34 All comparisons are on a year over year basis unless otherwise noted.

1:30:39 We estimate 3,560,000,000

1:30:41 people used at least one of our family of apps on a daily basis in March,

1:30:46 which declined slightly from December due to Internet disruptions in Iran and a restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia.

1:30:54 Absent these impacts, growth in family daily active people would have been positive quarter over quarter. Is she AI or what?

1:31:05 You muted yourself. So

1:31:11 You've you've muted Sorry. That was me. Yeah. I I muted myself because the the screen went dead.

1:31:17 It went black, and I saw and I clicked it to come back, I guess I mute muted. You mean your screensaver kicked in with your setting Yeah. Set screensaver your kicked setting at home? Was or did PointCast kick in?

1:31:28 Do you remember Pointcast? Boy, I'm telling you that's a callback that nobody gets. How Let me just tell everybody. Nobody gets that one. Let me see. Hands up troll room if you remember Pointcast.

1:31:38 Pointcast was

1:31:40 really the precursor to

1:31:42 Everything.

1:31:43 News feeds, to everything.

1:31:46 Yeah.

1:31:46 I see no one raising their hand. Okay. We will have to tell you.

1:31:51 So when was this, John? This must have been '98

1:31:54 maybe?

1:31:55 I think it was even before then. It came out real early. It was chewing up all the resources Well, let me let me tell people what it is and then you can talk about how horrible it was. Because I had it You know, it was actually pretty cool. No. It was fantastic.

1:32:07 So point cast, this is in the days when we had monitors

1:32:10 where you had to have a screen saver because otherwise your

1:32:15 your

1:32:17 how Eudora Burn in. Your eudora

1:32:20 email. I'm doing the callbacks now, baby. Your eudora email.

1:32:24 Eudora?

1:32:25 I'm I'm doing it. Would burn into your screen. So we had,

1:32:31 famously, we had flying toasters

1:32:34 and we had fish as screen savers.

1:32:37 Am I just on a roll here or what? Yeah. Keep it up. And and so

1:32:42 these guys came out with this free screen saver called PointCast.

1:32:48 And you set up the screen saver.

1:32:50 So you you needed a screen saver. Everybody had to have a screen saver. Otherwise, your monitor was ruined. You were a schmuck. You were a douche.

1:32:57 And you could select categories

1:32:59 of news with little check boxes.

1:33:02 And so then when your screen saver kicked in,

1:33:05 it was giving you headlines

1:33:07 and stock prices

1:33:09 and this is way before

1:33:11 any any like Yahoo Finance or any of this stuff and people were mesmerized

1:33:18 by it. Everyone's like holy crap. The problem was

1:33:22 our companies at the time we had in New York a 110 people in the office on a t one line.

1:33:28 T one is one megabit per second.

1:33:31 Yeah. But it was solid. It was a solid one megabit per second, but nothing compared to what what do mean? One megabit bit per second is a fraction of what your cable modem does at home currently.

1:33:43 And the minute the screen savers kicked in, you

1:33:48 couldn't you couldn't get to any website.

1:33:51 The email was was failing because the pipe was completely filled with people's point cast. So then we had to go around saying, please turn off your point cast, turn back on the the toasters.

1:34:02 But man,

1:34:04 that was resource

1:34:05 hungry.

1:34:06 Yeah. It was I think it crunched your computer too.

1:34:09 But it was so cool. And that was the precursor to everything.

1:34:14 I think it was the And then

1:34:16 then the the joke of it was the guys who did it, I don't know, I can't almost remember their names, they were offered,

1:34:23 you know,

1:34:25 in in those days, it was big money, couple $100,000,000

1:34:30 No. For the product. Really?

1:34:32 Yeah. They were offered big dough for the product

1:34:35 before all the scandals came out about us being resource hungry and it being a mess. They were saying, no, you we'll give you this I forgot who it was that made the deal, but it was this huge offer and it was like, nah. We're gonna sit down. We're gonna hold out.

1:34:49 We're gonna hold out for the big bucks. Hold on. Book of Knowledge.

1:34:53 Who tried to buy point cast and for how much money? Let's see if the Book of Knowledge can tell us. It might be. It might have it. It might it might have some information. That's that's old for the book of knowledge. Let's see. Alright.

1:35:06 According to the book of knowledge, News Corporation led by Rupert Murdoch attempted

1:35:11 to purchase PointCast for $450,000,000

1:35:15 in January

1:35:16 '77,

1:35:18 but the offer was withdrawn in March after Pointcast rejected it seeking more money.

1:35:25 It

1:35:26 has been written. Oh,

1:35:28 wow. Can you imagine how sad those guys are now? Yeah. Because I haven't did anything since. So that thing fell apart after that. Oh, man. Yeah. That was that was dynamite.

1:35:38 Classic.

1:35:39 Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I didn't know it was as recent as '97. I thought it was a little earlier, but okay. Oh, kinda makes sense. Kinda makes sense.

1:35:48 Well, let's stay on the By the way, I think there was another product that we had to in fact, know the guy pretty well who who refused some offers. One of these,

1:35:59 social early social network.

1:36:01 I wish I could remember which one it was. You might since you're on early, you might remember it. It was it was during the live journal era

1:36:08 Mhmm. Somebody

1:36:10 came up with something that was getting hot, really hot, it was gonna be

1:36:14 just the same kind of thing You ready? You ready? Movable type.

1:36:19 No. Oh.

1:36:21 Was it movable type? I'm sure movable type could have been in a similar story. No, was something else.

1:36:27 It was damn it. I wish I could just recall.

1:36:29 I'm gonna have to go through my own material and try to figure it out. LiveJournal.

1:36:34 I've never really got into LiveJournal.

1:36:37 I didn't didn't like that. Nor movable type. But they were all they were all basically blogs, weren't they? No. Movable type was a The movable type was a It was a foundation. It wasn't really a blog.

1:36:48 Tesla

1:36:53 coils us. Yes. That's where my teenage emo diaries lived. Oh, yeah.

1:36:58 I've been holding on to diaries.com

1:37:00 hoping those days return.

1:37:03 Every

1:37:04 once in while I get an email.

1:37:06 Will you sell this? I say, yes. 1 Bitcoin and you never hear from them again. That's too bad. What? You own diaries.com?

1:37:12 I do.

1:37:14 I do. No one It's worth a million dollars. Well, go get a million dollars. I'll give you I'll give you a $100.

1:37:20 Boom. What? No. Wait. I'll give you $200.

1:37:23 Boom.

1:37:24 Not 20% I could do. I'd do it. Yeah. Well, go do it. Alright. I'll I'll I'll agent it. I can I can sell it? You cannot sell anything.

1:37:34 I can sell it. It would just Another

1:37:38 another classic No Agenda exit strategy.

1:37:42 Well, it's not much of an exit strategy. It's just a Well big hit. Well, I'll have 800,000.

1:37:46 I'm exiting.

1:37:48 I'm out.

1:37:49 I'm buying a Bitcoin and I'm out.

1:37:52 I'm sorry.

1:37:54 Mimi doesn't like it when I make these jokes.

1:37:56 No, she doesn't. Should we get I'm

1:37:59 not a douche.

1:38:01 That's not nice. Are we threatening to quit the show constantly?

1:38:05 No. Yes. I am, actually. Yes. Well, why not?

1:38:09 It's fun.

1:38:10 It gets everybody on edge.

1:38:14 Little Mendelson Epstein update because that stuff continues.

1:38:18 Good. Then while we're at it, can play the Jeffrey Epstein ranch story. Well, why don't we start with that? Jeffrey Epstein ranch story. Jeffrey Epstein's Zoro Ranch stretched for miles. Its centerpiece,

1:38:29 the enormous mansion he built with its pool and library

1:38:33 stables nearby.

1:38:34 None of it searched by federal investigators after Epstein's 2019 arrest to the shock of Hector Balderas,

1:38:41 at the time, New Mexico's attorney general. Do you think the feds should have searched the ranch back in '19? Absolutely.

1:38:47 2019, Balderas had opened a state investigation into the ranch, but says he was asked to stand down by the feds so they could build their case. We assumed with their reputation for being aggressive

1:38:59 that they were going to be aggressive and then share that evidence with us. It was a very simple one two punch. And that's happened before in other cases. Absolutely.

1:39:07 But it didn't happen here? It didn't happen here. Now New Mexico is trying to make up for lost time, opening a new state investigation.

1:39:14 I think what bothers me the most, knowing the extent of what happened, why nothing was done.

1:39:21 Okay.

1:39:22 What what is what was the what did they expect to find?

1:39:26 An unfinished ranch in the building in the middle of nowhere, New Mexico's Well, ranch, whatever it was called. Well, the story is that

1:39:35 there were two teenage girls buried near the ranch. That's the story.

1:39:40 People dig them up. I actually met the guy who bought the ranch.

1:39:45 Oh, yeah? Yeah. He's I don't I don't He was running for comptroller

1:39:49 of Texas, Doug Effines, I think his name is. Interesting guy. One of those petite male kind of dudes.

1:39:56 Very male. Very successful

1:39:58 see if Doug Effines. What is Effines? I think it's Effines. Let me just see what his name is.

1:40:04 Doug

1:40:05 Effines?

1:40:07 Let me see.

1:40:09 No, that's not the right name. Huffine? Maybe it's Huffines.

1:40:13 Doug Huffines.

1:40:15 That's the book of knowledge. Yeah. Well, if if I can't It's one for one. If I can't

1:40:21 okay. Let's see. Alright, book of knowledge. What's the name of the guy who was running for Texas comptroller

1:40:26 who bought Epstein's Zoro Ranch?

1:40:30 Now

1:40:31 if the book of knowledge can do this, then I'm impressed.

1:40:37 According to the book of knowledge knowledge, the Texas comptroller candidate who bought Epstein's Zoro Ranch is Don Huffiness, a former Texas state senator. His family purchased the New Mexico ranch through a public auction in 2023

1:40:52 with

1:40:53 proceeds reportedly aiding Epstein's victims. There you go.

1:40:57 That's awesome. It has been written.

1:41:00 Yeah. So and he's already said, oh, you can come you wanna do some research? Come on over here. Do whatever you want. He bought it for a song. I'm sure the guy's not dumb.

1:41:09 But he said, yeah. Anyone come in here and check it out. Do whatever you want. And I don't know if anyone's if the DOJ is even interested.

1:41:18 So Apparently, they're not part two of the clip. New Mexico lawmakers this spring also established a bipartisan commission to investigate Zoro after the release of the justice department's Epstein files. At this point, we don't have the full story, and, what we understand is that most of that information was provided to the federal government and has not been provided back. The DOJ declined to comment on those specific materials, but says they welcome New Mexico undertaking additional investigations of Zoro. And if those uncover potential federal crimes, they stand ready to work closely together to prosecute.

1:41:51 Outside the ranch now, a memorial with signs, pictures,

1:41:55 and crosses.

1:41:56 This is the main driveway leading up to the ranch, but this is as far as we're able to go. You can see the no trespassing signs that have been put up around the property. The ranch was purchased in 2023

1:42:06 by a Texas real estate developer who wants to turn it into a Christian retreat,

1:42:11 renaming the road here San Rafael after the patron saint of healing. I don't think that you could turn this space around with the horror that has happened here. The family of Virginia Roberts Tufray, who died by suicide last year. She's one of at least 10 girls or young women who say they were groomed or assaulted by Epstein at Zoro.

1:42:30 Oh,

1:42:31 there it is. There's Doug. He seems like a nice enough guy. Doesn't seem creepy.

1:42:37 Petite maybe, but not creepy. Was it Tumblr you were thinking of?

1:42:43 Tumblr? No. No.

1:42:45 But I'm sure there's a story behind that too. Well,

1:42:49 yeah. Tumblr was bought for like a billion dollars and then resold for a couple million.

1:42:56 There's the story on that. Yeah. That's just the opposite story. So let's let's get back into this because

1:43:04 Keir Starmer, the guy you would not bet on is not doing too well with this Mandelson kerfuffle.

1:43:10 A Mandelson known as the prince of darkness in UK elite circles. Very much, indeed in Peter Mandelson was once entrusted to strengthen relations with The UK's most powerful ally.

1:43:22 Now his links to another once powerful man, the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, are sending shockwaves

1:43:29 through the British establishment.

1:43:32 UK lawmakers want to know how much the man who appointed Mandelson as The UK ambassador to The US knew about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson

1:43:42 betrayed our country,

1:43:44 our parliament, and my party. Mister

1:43:49 speaker,

1:43:50 he lied repeatedly to my team when asked about his relationship with Epstein

1:43:55 before and during his tenure as ambassador. I

1:43:59 regret appointing him.

1:44:01 If I knew then what I know now, he would never been anywhere near government. A forceful condemnation,

1:44:08 but critics say was not blind to the risks. After being questioned repeatedly by the leader of the opposition in parliament,

1:44:16 here Starman

1:44:17 Oops. Oh.

1:44:20 Linux? Let's see. Mendelson's vetting process for the job of the ambassador to The US,

1:44:26 he did know that Mendelson and Epstein had kept in touch even after

1:44:30 Epstein's conviction,

1:44:32 and that for many raises serious questions about The UK prime minister's judgment.

1:44:37 Mister speaker, I asked the prime minister if Under pressure from both the opposition and his own labor MPs,

1:44:43 Kirstjarma has agreed to release documents detailing how Mandelson was vetted for the Washington job. But it has done little to quell the anger of some lawmakers who say Mendelson,

1:44:54 was twice fired from previous governments over unrelated scandals,

1:44:58 should never have been appointed to a top diplomatic role.

1:45:02 He is now under criminal investigation for allegedly passing market sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a business secretary in the wake of the global financial crash.

1:45:13 But as scrutiny of him intensifies,

1:45:16 it is Kirstjarma and his decision making that are firmly under spotlight.

1:45:21 So this is being compared to the Profumo

1:45:23 scandal.

1:45:24 Oh, please. Do

1:45:28 you remember the Profumo scandal? Yeah. I do remember What what is your recollection of the Profumo scandal? It was a real it's a classic sex scandal.

1:45:36 Yeah?

1:45:38 Yeah. And it was like, you know, real, you know, it wasn't it didn't have anything to do with just some guy's association with a creep.

1:45:46 Well, I would I don't I don't remember I don't remember Well, I mean, well, I asked the Book of Knowledge for a briefing. Okay.

1:45:52 Book of Knowledge, give me a briefing on the Profumo scandal, and then I have a clip about the Profumo scandal from the guys who apparently wrote the book about it.

1:46:02 Okay. Let's see.

1:46:04 According to the Book of Knowledge,

1:46:07 Profumo affair was a 1963

1:46:09 British political scandal involving

1:46:12 war secretary John Profumo's affair with 19 year old model Christine Keeler.

1:46:17 The scandal's explosive nature stemmed from Keeler's simultaneous relationship with Soviet naval attache Yevgeny Ivanov

1:46:26 raising national security fears. Oh, I remember now. That happened at Clifton. Now I remember.

1:46:32 Yeah. Yeah. Well, she was, like a Mata Hari spy. That's what was going on. Yeah. Was in a hottie, I think. Yeah. She was a hottie. In 1963,

1:46:39 the publication which did more than any other to cover the perfumer affair was a young magazine

1:46:44 called Private Eye. And the eye has been following the Epstein case for many years as well, and its editor, Ian Hizop, is with me now in the studio.

1:46:53 Ian, great to have you here, and I've got a copy of your new Private Eye. We'll read some of the jokes out in a moment. But first of all, some sense of history. Do you think this really does, is at the same level as the Profumo scandal?

1:47:06 Well, I think there are two things. One is Profumo was a more junior minister than Peter Mandelson in the heart of new Labour. And if it was the, the end of that Tory

1:47:17 establishment regime,

1:47:18 this has got to be really embarrassing for the whole New Labour project. Mhmm. I mean, Mandelson is is going to be arrested, isn't he? It's fairly clear that the full criminal investigation

1:47:29 is going to be very serious for him. Well, all we know, I suppose, this evening is that the police are carrying out an investigation. They've confirmed that. Yes.

1:47:37 But,

1:47:38 it is

1:47:39 jaw dropping. And I think because of this story, Profumo broke and exploded.

1:47:43 This one's been going for a very long time, and everyone involved pretends they had absolutely no idea, Kear Starman, all his advisers, all these businessmen.

1:47:52 Everyone's saying we had no idea

1:47:54 that Epstein was in some way a pedophile.

1:47:57 Whereas in fact, 2008

1:47:59 is is the date of the case, and, we ran a cover about this in 2011.

1:48:05 I was going to ask you, when was this cloud the size of a man's hand suddenly appearing, and you thought this Epstein guy is a big story?

1:48:12 I mean, it was, over the then Duchess of York, now,

1:48:16 not Duchess anymore. Fergie. And Fergie. And it was a story that she'd accepted £15,000,

1:48:23 from

1:48:24 Jeffrey Epstein. This, Yeah.

1:48:26 He was then convicted,

1:48:28 pedophile,

1:48:29 and financier,

1:48:30 who everyone was pretending was absolutely fine. And we ran a a cover with

1:48:35 Sarah and her two daughters

1:48:37 and

1:48:39 a voice saying, you know, I'll give you £15,000.

1:48:42 And she was saying, is that for Beatrice or both of them? Now at the time, this was considered harsh and offensive. Yeah. But it was trying to make the point that everyone was pretending they didn't know. Yeah. Exactly.

1:48:55 Just like everyone in America pretended they didn't know. What wasn't it

1:48:59 was it McCain's wife? Who was it that said that everyone knew about Epstein?

1:49:03 Was that McCain's wife? No. Whose wife? It was someone.

1:49:09 That

1:49:10 eludes me. I I can't think of it. That somebody yeah. A lot of people say stuff. Yeah. Everyone knew this. Yeah. You didn't? What? What? You weren't in the know? I wonder who that was.

1:49:21 Yeah. Sydney McCain. It was. It was perception

1:49:25 Between a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental

1:49:29 and economic elites in this country,

1:49:33 that not only benefit, like she mentioned, but actively participate

1:49:36 in sex trafficking.

1:49:38 Jeffrey Epstein was an example.

1:49:40 Robert Kraft was arrested not far from here on

1:49:43 on trafficking charges.

1:49:45 Are are these

1:49:47 power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them?

1:49:51 Or is this pipe a dream that we need to address in the future somehow?

1:49:55 No. It's like everything.

1:49:57 You know, we we it hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was no

1:50:08 legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him. All of a sudden, someone said, b s. We're not afraid of you anymore and what you're doing. It's not only wrong. It's illegal. It's, you know, all those things.

1:50:21 It's it's like a house cards now. It's gonna start tumbling, believe me. And these guys, if they don't leave the country, number one, they're gonna get caught, and they're gonna and and they not only will they get caught, but they're going to be made examples of, and that's exactly what we should be doing,

1:50:38 with these guys especially.

1:50:40 In my opinion, if

1:50:42 you know, I know there's questions, but, Epstein's a chicken shit for doing what he did.

1:50:48 He should have faced the music, that one. He should have. Sorry.

1:50:53 So everybody knew. Everybody knew.

1:50:56 Yeah. Everybody knew. Just like Jimmy Savile.

1:50:59 That they they really buried that one, didn't they? That's the best. The Jimmy Savile stuff. Jim will fix you.

1:51:07 Yeah. That's the best.

1:51:10 Saturday is a big election day

1:51:13 in Texas.

1:51:15 Sadly, I I could I cannot stand for mayor

1:51:19 because I don't live in Fredericksburg, it turns out.

1:51:23 So

1:51:24 I guess I shut down No Agenda Social for no reason.

1:51:29 Remember that? He he he wants to protect his political career, that's why he's shutting down No Agenda Social. Okay.

1:51:37 No Agenda Social, the worst.

1:51:41 Okay. I got a a couple a couple of side clips. Well, hold on. I I was gonna say something here and you just, like, ramrod me.

1:51:49 Yeah.

1:51:50 Wait for wait for you. So

1:51:53 I'm I'm

1:51:54 getting there.

1:51:56 Election day is Saturday,

1:51:57 and we have a Baron running for mayor of Hays County.

1:52:02 The Baron from No Agenda? Yes. Baron Alex Savala, also known as the NICU dad.

1:52:08 And

1:52:11 he wrote a very nice note, which I won't read the whole thing, it's in the show notes if you wanna see it. And he says, I'm No Agenda. I've been very vocal about keeping political parties out of non partisans positions.

1:52:22 I'm the only candidate who is not endorsed by a political party. The Dems have their candidate and the moms for liberty have theirs. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna win but let's go with God willing. I'm sure I'm not the first No Agenda party candidate

1:52:35 but here we go. So if you're in Hays County, which is pretty big,

1:52:39 vote for Baron Alex Savala.

1:52:41 We need a guy like that in politics.

1:52:45 Yeah. An honest man. Yes. Oh, he's a very honest man. And he's the NICU dad from the NICU dads podcast. So And he goes to No Agenda meetups.

1:52:53 So now and you know, we can go to City Hall.

1:52:56 And and no, I don't yeah. That's a good idea MVP.

1:53:00 I wish I lived in Hays County because yes, then I could be sheriff. That would be cool. You could appoint me sheriff but no, no such luck.

1:53:07 Alright. Back to you, Bob. I got two screwball clips.

1:53:11 Oh, first of all, Netanyahu has prostate cancer. I thought he was already healed.

1:53:16 Well,

1:53:17 understanding, he still has it. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today he has received treatment for prostate cancer and is now healthy. It's the first time he's publicly acknowledged the diagnosis.

1:53:28 The 76 year old says he had prostate surgery almost two years ago and that a more recent tumor was successfully treated with radiation therapy.

1:53:36 He asked that a public announcement be delayed due to the war with Iran.

1:53:42 The war's got to do with Iran. Nothing.

1:53:45 Nothing at all. Alright. Okay. So I've got this screwballs. This is a very interesting,

1:53:49 you gotta

1:53:51 give it to, you know, Massey, Thomas Massey,

1:53:54 the

1:53:56 renegade congressman.

1:53:58 Yes. He's got this skiff story that I thought was fascinating.

1:54:02 And I took one of my colleagues, Victoria Sparks, in this in a GIF. I said, there's a document nobody's looking at. We need to go read.

1:54:10 And so we go in the GIF. It was a letter from senator Ron Wyden,

1:54:15 and I don't know how he has

1:54:17 the senators,

1:54:18 particularly those on the intelligence committee, they get access to things. When a bill says that they have to notify congress of something, what they really mean is they have to notify the intelligence committee.

1:54:31 And then the intelligence committee just doesn't say anything or they don't even bother to look at it.

1:54:37 And so Ron Wyden in the senate, he's a democrat, he's on the intelligence committee over there,

1:54:43 he discovered an innovative loophole they're using

1:54:47 to spy on Americans in a way I can't even tell you here because their the FBI's interpretation of the law is top secret. Yeah. Literally, there's a a red and white cover

1:55:00 on top of Ron Wyden's letter that says top secret.

1:55:04 And,

1:55:06 Victoria Sparks and I went in there,

1:55:08 and I we've read it. It's very troubling.

1:55:11 It's an interpretation,

1:55:13 a secret interpretation

1:55:14 of the FISA law. They can't even tell you how they're interpreting. Now when you have secret laws, that's when you know your country has gone too far. Yeah. How do you know you're not breaking secret laws?

1:55:27 How do you know what your government's doing?

1:55:29 The nature of the two documents I saw were secret interpretations of the law, and you should you should be allowed to know how

1:55:37 the executive branch is interpreting the law.

1:55:40 Otherwise, how could, for instance, the supreme court rule, or how could you vote for a representative that's gonna vote for you if you don't

1:55:49 if you don't know what they're voting on, and they don't know what they're voting on. So

1:55:53 when do we find out what what this is? I mean, is all part of the ongoing section seven zero two reinstatement

1:55:59 that I think is still ongoing?

1:56:01 Yeah. I think so.

1:56:03 So I'd like to know what that secret law, secret interpret what is this? Yeah. That's FISA.

1:56:09 That's the whole thing. You've got the FISA. Needs to be dumped. Yes. And that's why it's stuck in the in the house, I think. Is it in the house or in the senate? It's probably the house.

1:56:18 Yeah. They it's sunsetting.

1:56:21 It's gonna be gone soon and not soon enough.

1:56:25 Remember we had those clips like, oh, well, it's only a couple thousand now, but they just changed the way they were counting as really millions?

1:56:34 Yeah.

1:56:35 Right.

1:56:35 And I and I I think the way they do it is they just go to Google and

1:56:40 Amazon and

1:56:43 maybe Apple and just say, give us some detail give us some details.

1:56:48 I mean, we seem to be give our information up willingly.

1:56:53 So

1:56:54 just buy it on the open market. But I don't know what the law interpretation is. I'd like to know that. So Massey just says that and then nothing happens?

1:57:02 No, it's what happens. She says that nothing happens of course. Oh, okay. Well, groovy.

1:57:08 Well, that's just the way it is. You're a republican, nothing gets done. Yeah. Okay.

1:57:14 So I have this one little last little clip here.

1:57:18 I'll play, this is the,

1:57:21 there's this woman named Sophie

1:57:23 Lewis who is a, professor at one of the universities.

1:57:27 And I just thought this was an interesting clip because it brings out the

1:57:32 anti family,

1:57:33 anti

1:57:34 everything, you know, let the government raise your kids.

1:57:37 This this whole undercurrent that's that's going on that

1:57:41 is the Democrat party

1:57:44 communists.

1:57:45 Yes. And I thought this was worthwhile

1:57:48 to listen to. This is the abolished family,

1:57:51 clip. Did you know that all of the attacks on parental rights going on in the country today are directly related to the far left's desire

1:57:59 to abolish the nuclear family? I'm Karlyn Borysenko. I'm an analyst and undercover journalist following the far left in America. And let me show you inside some secretly recorded presentations

1:58:11 where they tell you what they really think of parental rights.

1:58:15 Yes.

1:58:16 It's true.

1:58:17 What the far right says, feminism wants to abolish the family.

1:58:23 To hell with family values and all capitalist value for that matter. And fuck parents' rights. My hunch is that just beyond the horizon

1:58:32 beckoning

1:58:33 to those of us who want to hear it,

1:58:36 there is a world

1:58:37 of relationship

1:58:39 no longer strangled by scarcity

1:58:43 and no longer held hostage

1:58:45 by economics.

1:58:47 Thank you.

1:58:53 That was Abolish the Family Queer Communist Sophie Lewis. Sophie has written two books on abolishing the nuclear family, lectures all over the country, works at the University of Pennsylvania pushing these ideas through their gender center. We cover Sophie and her friends quite a bit.

1:59:09 Okay.

1:59:11 I just thought I'd throw that in because an uplifting little clip. Yeah. I'm I'm

1:59:15 I feel very uplifted and positive now.

1:59:19 And is she a democrat or is she what what is she? Oh, she's a republican.

1:59:24 She's She's obviously a democrat. No. I mean, I mean, is she a she's not a politician. She just writes crazy books?

1:59:31 Yeah.

1:59:32 Yeah. But she the people love this stuff.

1:59:35 This anti capitalist

1:59:36 vein in the current Democrat party Current? Which is really disgusting. Current?

1:59:42 It's been that way forever.

1:59:45 I'm not so sure it was that way in the fifties. Oh, okay. Well, in my forever.

1:59:51 Yeah.

1:59:53 Well

1:59:54 They used to be pretty, you the, you know, the pro labor party, which I guess is somewhat socialist if you think about it, but

2:00:02 union good union jobs.

2:00:06 Alright. What's this fake Brando? I've been looking at that for the past two hours. Yeah. The fake Brando this is a,

2:00:12 a piece of AI that showed up on the net. The problem is this was Brando

2:00:19 supposedly being interviewed after the, Godfather movies

2:00:23 when he was older,

2:00:25 but the Brando that's in this AI is a Brando from the fifties.

2:00:29 Mhmm. And this whole thing is nonsense,

2:00:33 and it floated around. I thought it was a classic example of

2:00:36 of, you know, AI being used to try to just put that anti Jewish message out there because because Brando, when he didn't accept the Academy Award, I think it was 1970

2:00:46 anti Semite

2:00:47 right away. It wasn't because anything. It was about the Indians. That's why he had this woman Oh, I remember he had that Indian woman come out.

2:00:56 Yeah. Was about about a native American complaint.

2:00:59 It had nothing to do with the Jews in Hollywood. Yeah. But somebody created this bull crap and put it in on on Twitter,

2:01:06 and people were eating it up. Mister Brando, why did you refuse the Academy Award last year? I refused it because of the increasing control of Zionists in Hollywood. They

2:01:16 own the studios. They shape the stories. They decide who gets heard and who doesn't. I saw it clearly, and I couldn't be part of that system anymore. Oh, not that it's wrong. It's just not what he said.

2:01:28 That's Not

2:01:29 that he's wrong. Not that he's wrong.

2:01:32 Hey. With that, I wanna thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the c in the second word of pointcast, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only mister John

2:01:43 C.

2:01:44 Dvorak.

2:01:46 Well, in the morning to you, mister Adam Curry. Mean, I wish you would. Night Gone. You've seen the air subs at WarDame. Nice out there. In the morning to the trolls of the troll room. Let me count for a second. Alright.

2:01:58 Fifteen thirty seven on the troll count listening live to noagendastream.com.

2:02:02 We appreciate everyone

2:02:03 who is checking us out. Probably, hopefully,

2:02:06 or you should be listening in a modern podcast app,

2:02:10 because now the podcast index is, stopping slop and spam.

2:02:15 We're stopping slop, John. We're stopping. Yeah. We're stopping the slop.

2:02:18 We're stopping the slop. Oh, the AI crap? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But how have you accomplished this? Ah, we're fighting AI with AI.

2:02:27 Yep. Yep. We are

2:02:30 Yes.

2:02:31 We have built our own weights in a model

2:02:35 because there's a lot of things that you don't want to

2:02:38 overfit, overfitting is the term. You want to overfit the model so it so

2:02:43 it starts making wrong decisions.

2:02:46 But the the spam is pretty easy to detect because that's typically,

2:02:51 they just want to somehow get in, get a website because if you, you know, if you get a free podcast account, you get a website that is highly ranked in Google and then they get SEO juice.

2:03:01 But the AI slop is off the chart.

2:03:05 I mean, people are just throwing out hundreds

2:03:08 of podcasts a day of of nonsense.

2:03:12 A day? Oh, yeah. From from one from one outfit. A 100 a 100 new podcasts. Boom. A 100 new podcasts and

2:03:19 they do it, you know, on one of these outfits that give you ads.

2:03:23 So if you have a 100

2:03:25 new podcasts and each one has 10 episodes, so now we're at a thousand,

2:03:30 that's a that's a CPM.

2:03:32 And you get two ads at the front and two ads at the back, you know, if you get a couple people listening, you you get you're making you're making pocket change.

2:03:40 You know, a CPM is probably remnant stuff, $5, so you know, you could you could be making 50, maybe a $100 a day. That's not, you know, that's money.

2:03:51 So now we're detecting this and we're chopping it out. We're like, no. We're we're just done with it. It's ruining it's ruining everything.

2:04:00 So we're not gonna let it ruin podcasting. So get a modern podcast app, you know, because Apple can't fight this.

2:04:06 They don't have our technology. They don't have the people. So I don't know how they're gonna do it or Spotify, even worse, Spotify. They're they're actually providing these

2:04:15 the hosting for all these scam podcasts.

2:04:18 No. Yes. Yeah. They bought

2:04:23 what hosting company do they buy?

2:04:26 They bought a hosting company and they bought Megaphone which is the advertising company.

2:04:30 Yeah. They're they are the bad actor in the bunch.

2:04:34 So, you know, then they have competing

2:04:37 what was the name of that company they bought?

2:04:40 A not Acas, Anchor. Thank you, mister Baroness. Anchor. They bought Anchor,

2:04:45 it's free, someone can create a free account. So you create a whole bunch of free accounts and then you get your megaphone advertising and it's all slop. It's no good. It's even worse as people are,

2:04:57 you know, LibriVox.

2:04:59 You familiar with LibriVox? The No. I'm not. Oh. So people redo audiobooks

2:05:04 of open source or public domain books,

2:05:07 which

2:05:08 is you know, it's

2:05:10 a lot of it's not great readers.

2:05:14 So now the AI slop guys, they're they are doing AI generated versions of LibriVox

2:05:21 books. So if you look in

2:05:24 go to Spotify and look for the story of Frankenstein, you'll see, you know, 50 of them.

2:05:29 And it's and you know, can you find a real one in the middle of that? It's not gonna be easy. So anyway, you want one of those modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com

2:05:38 and the groovy thing about it besides 27 new features that you won't get on the legacy apps is when we go live, we fire off the bat signal, you get an alert, you know that we're live, you get it right there in your podcast app

2:05:49 Or if you don't have time for that, you wanna listen to it later within ninety seconds of us publishing the show, you'll know about it in the modern podcast app, podcastapps.com.

2:05:56 We are a value for value podcast. We talked about this at the top of the show. We don't have ads. We we are not slop by definition.

2:06:04 We are not slop. Maybe too old dudes, but we're not slop.

2:06:08 So

2:06:10 we just say,

2:06:12 you like value? You got value? Did did was this valuable to you? Are you still listening at this point? Then you certainly must have gotten some value in the past two hours. All we ask is that you send it back to us in time, talent or treasure.

2:06:25 That could be many different things, helping us out with clips, giving us story ideas. I didn't even

2:06:31 remind me to do the the SCOTUS decision

2:06:35 of

2:06:36 the Voting Rights Act

2:06:39 because Rob Cardi, the constitutional lawyer sent me a note about it and it is quite different from what you've heard

2:06:45 from the M5M. Let's do it now.

2:06:48 Okay.

2:06:49 Well, since you say I'll do it right now. This is bonus. Bonus content.

2:06:53 So I'll just give you let me give you the Nicole Wallace version of this

2:06:58 supreme court decision.

2:06:59 In a likely blow to Democrats' representation in congress and in a complete and utter perversion of the original purpose of the Voting Rights Act, the nation's highest court told states that they can almost never consider race when drawing congressional maps to comply with section two of the Voting Rights Act and striking down Louisiana's

2:07:19 congressional maps due to a majority black district.

2:07:22 The decision was six three along ideological lines with all three liberal justices dissenting.

2:07:29 Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority said this, quote, compliance with section two of the Voting Rights Act could not justify the state's use

2:07:38 of race based redistricting here. The state's attempt to satisfy the district court's ruling, although understandable, was an unconstitutional

2:07:45 racial gerrymander.

2:07:47 While the court technically stopped short of overturning this key provision

2:07:51 entirely

2:07:53 in a scathing dissent, justice Elena Kagan called it demolished

2:07:57 and said that today's majority opinion amounts to, quote, the largest reduction to minority representation

2:08:04 since the end of Reconstruction.

2:08:07 Let that sink in. President

2:08:09 Obama posting about it on X. And, oh, this is horrible. This is diminishing the black vote in America.

2:08:16 But what was the case really about?

2:08:19 I cite from the constitutional lawyer.

2:08:22 After the 2020 census, Louisiana redrew some congressional district. A coalition of black voters challenged the plan claiming that it diluted black voting power.

2:08:32 A court agreed and invalidated the plan. So Louisiana wrote a new plan that specifically accounted for race and protected black voting power

2:08:41 just as the court, the lower court required.

2:08:44 Then a group of non black voters challenged this new map saying, hey, this is racist.

2:08:50 They took it to the supreme court and guess what? The supreme court said, yeah, you can't do that based on race no matter what color they are. And that's what they struck down. But you will see it as Republicans hate black people.

2:09:04 Well, the funny thing is,

2:09:07 some years and years and years ago, there was a discussion,

2:09:11 probably have a clip about it, how there was a kind of a gentleman's agreement between

2:09:17 black certain black

2:09:20 congressmen and certain white

2:09:23 representatives

2:09:24 that would allow

2:09:26 these blacks to get a a

2:09:29 foothold. Please say these blacks a couple more times. These blacks These blacks. A foothold, a wink wink nudge nudge foothold.

2:09:36 You guys can always have this district, but we always get to have this district so we can always, you know, it's just gonna be this nice balance between the two of us. And it was a gentleman's agreement

2:09:48 to have this sort of race based distinction

2:09:52 and I guess somebody finally called it. I I always thought it was gonna fall apart. It had to. It's it's completely ridiculous.

2:10:00 Okay.

2:10:02 Well,

2:10:03 there you go. Bonus content right there for you everybody.

2:10:07 So that's one way that you can provide value back to the show by being a constitutional lawyer helping us out. You can also do things like create art, artwork for the show. It's not very hard to do anymore but we have some, I think, some great end of show mixes. The music is getting much better

2:10:22 and the concepts around our end of show mixes are getting better

2:10:26 such as the newsletter is now just a staple. We're just putting the newsletter into AI and turning it into a song, but the music is really good. And then one of our producers, I think it was MVP,

2:10:38 did all the numbers pie at least for as long as the song lasted, 3.14

2:10:44 etcetera.

2:10:45 And that turned out to be kind of interesting.

2:10:47 And then there's a donation song at the end. So this is This is a big number. It's a really big number.

2:10:55 If you don't say.

2:10:59 It's a big number. Okay.

2:11:02 You can also create art and you can upload that at noagendaartgenerator.com.

2:11:06 The art generator by itself is, is maintained by sir Paul Couture. And, I need to mention that the

2:11:13 Knight Order of the Heart pins are in.

2:11:16 I'm reliably informed from Jay. Have you seen them? And you'll get one shortly. I know. But have you seen them?

2:11:22 Oh, yeah. I got them right here in the they're right here. Are you wearing it? Are you wearing your, your I don't have a lapel.

2:11:28 Just put it on your collarbone. It'll be fine. Just stick it in.

2:11:32 So we wanna thank we wanna thank

2:11:35 Ryan m Scott, the artist who gave us the artwork for episode eighteen sixty three. We titled that one Nakedly.

2:11:43 This was an interesting piece.

2:11:45 I had some complaints about it because I thought Curry and Dvorak was too small. It was

2:11:50 like a postcard, false flag

2:11:53 postcard with our president saluting with right in front of the American flag. But what was cool is that in each of the letters there was a little scene from the White House Correspondents Dinner

2:12:06 and

2:12:07 I'm typically not a fan of small things in the artwork, but this was well done and I guess it's AI.

2:12:15 You would you would presume. It is it's I think it was a combination. He had to do some And this side, there's no way you could prompt this.

2:12:23 I don't know. I don't know what you can or can't prompt. I kind of liked his other false flag, which is the blue, red, and white. You didn't like that one? Now, we would have chosen

2:12:33 we would have chosen the SPLC

2:12:36 artwork by Darren O'Neil,

2:12:38 which was a cool piece. It had a a guy with a KKK

2:12:42 hood on and there's an SPLC Southern Poverty Liars Club

2:12:48 and it had this, you know, this this KKK SPLC

2:12:52 guy

2:12:53 that with his hand out grabbing some dollars underneath it said funding hates to end hate.

2:13:00 But Darren

2:13:01 neglected to see that the hand was backwards.

2:13:05 It was the wrong hand sticking

2:13:08 out of right on

2:13:09 his left arm.

2:13:11 So Darren, if you had just re prompted it, man, you might have had a shot.

2:13:17 So, sorry.

2:13:18 We have to draw the line some Wow. Did you see this BB Netanyahu piece?

2:13:23 The just came in? Yeah. This is great.

2:13:27 It's b b netanyahu lying on the beach in a speedo

2:13:31 and he has seashells

2:13:33 like the Comey seashells except his say $69.47.

2:13:39 Gross.

2:13:40 That's very gross. Not gonna win honorable mention.

2:13:45 So that's

2:13:46 that's the No Agenda Art Generator. Thank you all so very much all of you who participate.

2:13:51 And now, we are going to thank our

2:19:23 During World War two,

2:19:26 to see if you were a spy or a Nazi,

2:19:30 the test was

2:19:31 you had to say the word Scheifeningen.

2:19:34 So if I was an American, they'd think I was a Nazi spy? Yes. Or you were do you well, the Nazis might think you were a spy. Depends on who was using the question asking the question. So

2:19:46 just to make sure, I wanna help you learn how to say this properly

2:19:50 because I'd hate for you to get picked up as a spy.
