Screwball

0:00 Dog sled. You need a dog sled. How are supposed to get the vote in? We got a dog sled. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, 06/11/2026.

0:09 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode eighteen seventy six. This is No Agenda.

0:17 Canceling the war, and we are broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

0:26 And back on Refinery Row

0:29 where everybody's talking the same words.

0:33 World Cup watch party. I'm John C. Dvorak.

0:39 I gotta I gotta be honest. I I am recording all Dutch, team and American team games Oh, please. On the YouTube TV. Yeah. Of course. Of course.

0:49 Why?

0:50 Are you are you really looking forward to that Switzerland Botswana

0:54 match?

0:56 No. I said I said Netherlands and American games. I didn't say The Switzerland and Botswana. Exciting.

1:04 This is it's my teams, man. You can't be such a hater.

1:09 People I'm not a hater. You are very much a hater. Oh, You

1:14 know, there's only

1:15 what? Nothing. I said nothing. There's only nine teams that have ever won the World Cup.

1:22 Okay. And they are Out what? A 130 countries? How's that fair?

1:27 What

1:30 are the nine teams? Germany?

1:32 Well, let's start with Brazil, who's won the most. They won five. Yes. They're good players.

1:39 And then you have Germany,

1:41 Italy, Argentina,

1:43 France. Yep.

1:45 Uruguay

1:47 Yep. They won, two,

1:49 actually. Yeah. They're good. They're good players. England, they won one.

1:53 Mhmm. And last on the list is Spain. Yes. That's it. Yeah. So So how did it happen? So the Netherlands has not won, so they're not gonna win. The Netherlands The USA can't win anything. They stink. The Netherlands What's the point? The Netherlands has come in twice, several times. I think two or three times they've come in twice. I typically, they choke against the Germans.

2:13 They look at those Germans and go, oh, my bike. They

2:17 choke. They choke.

2:18 Well, we had a miraculous comeback of the Knicks. Look at me with sports ball

2:24 against the Spurs, which is my team, of course. The San Antonio Spurs.

2:30 I mean, it's an exciting sports year, John. It's fantastic.

2:35 For people out there who don't know what happened is that the the Knicks came back from 29

2:41 points

2:42 down

2:43 That was amazing.

2:45 Setting the record for the biggest comeback in NBA finals history Yes.

2:50 And beat these guys. And the worst part was that the

2:54 your San Antonio team scored 76

2:57 points in the first half. Uh-huh. And they were leading by about 20 something

3:01 going into the second half. And in the entire second half Joke.

3:07 They scored 30 points total. It's crazy.

3:10 Is that is that not a lot? I'm not sure.

3:13 That's

3:15 one quarter's worth of points generally in an in an average game. So

3:20 we can move off sports news as to what's happening right now on the quad screen. Of course, it happens on the show day. The president has just canceled the war.

3:29 Oil is dropping like a rock.

3:32 The the Dow was up 800 points

3:36 and we're just moments away just moments away from signing the deal.

3:40 Uh-huh.

3:42 And I think it might this time it might be real.

3:45 Oh.

3:46 It might

3:47 it has to be because Elon's going public tomorrow so he doesn't need any disturbances.

3:52 So picks up the phone, he's like, listen,

3:55 listen Donald.

3:57 You wanna take care of this for me for today, just for today only, you know. But if you need to rekindle it, do it on Saturday.

4:04 It's been an interesting week

4:08 in regards to

4:09 not so much the helicopter stuff and all that, but

4:14 the president made quite a revelation

4:17 which

4:18 I cannot get confirmed.

4:21 For some reason, the oil baron

4:23 didn't answer this, know. It was like we have a text group and I'm I said, hey, can you confirm this? And you know, he just came back with something else and didn't didn't say anything. I thought it was somewhat suspicious and this is what I'm talking about. First of all, I love the inflation. Please concern mister president about the latest inflation number which came out this morning. Could that be a No. I love it. The numbers were

4:47 know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know what? Because as soon as this war is over

4:52 you know, I can say it now.

4:55 Something you didn't know. Do you know we've been taking out

4:58 millions of barrels of oil?

5:00 Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about about it? Iran until right now.

5:06 We took out the other night 22 ships late at night with no lights because don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it.

5:15 We took out that's why oil is $85 a barrel. I mean, you take a look.

5:20 Remember when I did this, I said, look, the one bad thing

5:23 will be

5:25 we hit the best economy we've ever hit. And I said to my people, had Scott, I had Howard, I had Pete, I had all Bob, Paul and Todd in the room. Anthony. I said the one thing we have to do now,

5:37 we had just hit the highest stock market in history,

5:41 highest four zero one k's in history.

5:43 Everything was going well. And I said, I hate to do this to you guys, but the Reds is gonna have a nuclear weapon very soon. We have to go in and attack. So

5:52 we hit them with the b two bombers Yeah. Which took a lot of courage. It was totally successful.

5:57 We buried it very hard to get. Yeah. But

6:01 now we had to make the second move.

6:03 And I said, you know, the bad part is the stock market will go down by

6:07 a lot based on predictions of experts,

6:11 like 25%.

6:12 And it was worth it. To me, it was worth it not to have a nuclear weapon. And the other thing is that oil would go to $250

6:18 a barrel.

6:19 It's at 85.

6:21 It wasn't at 85 when he said that, but okay.

6:25 Do you think this is true? That they were slipping out ships and 100,000,000

6:30 barrels of oil?

6:32 Well, it's hard to say because he did that trick that one time where they said he gave gave us a gift of eight ships. Remember that? Eight ships. Yep. Yep. And there was no evidence of that. Yeah. Well, there's no evidence of this, but what is weird is that the oil baron wouldn't respond to me.

6:49 Well, maybe he knows something. Something

6:51 it whatever happened happened

6:53 at about 01:15

6:55 East Coast time.

6:57 AM?

6:58 Because the market just took us just rocketed. It took a huge turn. I know. Out of the blue, one just spiked.

7:06 Yeah. Well And so somebody knew something. It's like, you know, that Trading Places movie

7:12 where there, you know, there's insiders doing dirty business. It's a classic. It's a classic.

7:18 And

7:19 I don't know. I don't know what you know, this could be you might I think the thesis about Elon's IPO might actually be because the most valid thing, about it.

7:30 What was interesting is, The Money Honey, she of course had had the she's not always on the show anymore. Something's going on with her too. So Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, the least watched news channel of in all history,

7:44 except maybe for her show. She had on the CEO of Axis Capital.

7:49 Anyhow, she she played that whole clip and, you know, then even let it run on longer for about three minutes.

7:54 And it turns out that they actually seem to have the insurance part worked out as well. Axis Capital is at the forefront of the effort, providing clients operating in the region with protection for assets exposed

8:07 to heightened threats. Joining me now in a Fox Business exclusive

8:10 is Axis CEO, Vince Tizzio. Vince, thanks so much for being here this morning. Can you talk to us a little about that business in terms of providing

8:18 that insurance

8:19 to those boats,

8:21 those ships trying to transact through the street?

8:25 Maria, good morning. Certainly.

8:27 It remains a dynamic risk landscape and environment. Indeed, the announcement last night by the president reinforces

8:34 the value

8:35 of the industry providing protection to the maritime space.

8:39 There's over 20,000 seafarers in the region, and, certainly, they want the assurance that as they transport

8:45 goods and services in the instance last night referenced by the president, oil, that there's protection. And so it remains dynamic. We remain a vibrant market in the geography protecting our insureds both in the Persian Gulf and around the region generally.

9:00 So just so just to be clear, you're you're ensuring those vessels that are

9:06 that are handled and and secured with others' ships so that they they can be transported

9:13 through? For sure. We have representation on any number of insureds. We we never reveal, of course, the exact No. No. Insureds or countries of origin for protection for them. But certainly,

9:23 we are a vibrant substantial provider of marine coverage generally and marine war more particularly.

9:30 What did you say? The last protection for them is protection from not for them, it's for you.

9:38 What do you mean? I don't I don't I I don't understand what you're saying. Well, he says they don't they're trying to protect. They don't wanna say what ships are to protect them. No. They're the ones that did the insurance. Oh, well, of course. Yes. Hello? Yeah. You don't want someone taking out something that's fully insured. No. No. You never do that. I remember back when I had helicopter money,

10:00 the bank called me

10:02 like,

10:03 yeah, we think you should probably have a kidnapping insurance.

10:07 I'm like, what? Yes. And it's it works really cool. You get codes and then, you know, so only with a code can this be

10:15 can this be uncovered and you can only give it to your wife. I'm like, I don't think I'm I don't think I want your kidnapping insurance. Kidnapping.

10:23 That's good. Kidnapping insurance. Makes sense. Yeah. You were doing a lot of business in Mexico, I guess.

10:29 Well, there have been a lot of kidnappings in Holland with with wealthy people. Freddie Heineken was a legendary

10:36 case.

10:37 They kidnapped the they kidnapped the dude who who who had the beer.

10:43 So

10:44 it's not all that crazy.

10:46 Well, don't do it in countries where they really throw the book at the kidnappers.

10:51 No.

10:52 No. I can't So obviously, they're not throwing the book at the kidnappers.

10:55 No.

10:56 It's Holland. You you can murder somebody and you're out after twenty years.

11:02 It's real easy. They're laid back there, man. It's cool.

11:06 So you have anything on this or

11:09 because I all the other clips I had make no sense now because,

11:12 you know,

11:13 the war is over striking

11:15 stuff. I guess Trump strikes Iran. Yeah. But with it makes no sense. It's over now. It's done. Well, not necessarily if it does if it doesn't follow-up.

11:24 No. Well, we'll see on Sunday. But I I don't think that it makes any sense to play anything.

11:30 It's like, alright. Okay. Well, it's fine with me. Yeah. Let's just Let's just talk about the World Cup.

11:35 You know, the World Cup is we have

11:38 I've also gotten all these calls from Dutch radio and television stations.

11:42 Hey. Hi. Hi. Yeah. We're gonna be in Dallas for the World Cup. Hi, boy. Hey. Hi. Hi. Topi. Yes. That's how they talk. Hey. Hi. Hi. Topi.

11:52 We're gonna be in Dallas for the World Cup. We'd love for you to join us. Like, it's a five hour drive. I'm not coming to Dallas.

12:00 Send the jet.

12:02 They don't get yeah. Right. Send the jet. Send the jet, man.

12:06 They're you know, it's a small country. They think everything is like that.

12:10 Yeah. They project.

12:11 But they you know, even even if it was Austin, it's still five hours. Like, come on, guys. Don't be so stupid. Yeah. You're out. You're yes. Tell them to come to Fredericksburg. Why don't you That's tell them the last thing I want. I don't want I don't want anybody here. You know, that's that's a bad thing

12:26 when people have my number.

12:28 Email is one thing, but some, you know, people have my my phone number and they'll text me, hey, we're gonna be in Fredericksburg this Saturday. Got time for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee?

12:39 It's like there's a million people a year who come through Fredericksburg. It's like living in Disneyland in Anaheim.

12:45 It's like, no. I don't I mean, I work on Saturdays. I got no time for this.

12:50 You tell them. Yeah. I do. So it looks like I owe you $2. Yes. You do. You do.

12:57 You doubled down. You went double to nothing.

13:00 I got a couple of clips on this. This is male in Dallas. You wanna just you wanna just explain the the bet before No. Well, yes. Because I need to in in savor this. I don't win often for you, Mortimer.

13:13 Well, what happened was,

13:17 I have Adam somehow

13:20 wrangled some sort of a screwball bet

13:23 that What's a wrangle? What do you mean? Spencer Pratt. He's not going to become the You're the one that said, that's not true. They're gonna I said he won't they will rig it. He will not be he will not be mayor. He's not gonna be the mayor. There's no way. And then you went, you know what you're talking about. This is I did. This is how they think. They they think differently. They have to let him in so they don't think it's No. That that no. That you got that right. I was under the impression that they weren't gonna be so stupid

13:51 as to rig the election, but they started thinking about it.

13:54 And,

13:56 well, maybe they think here's what my latest thinking is. You okay?

14:01 Because initially,

14:03 I said, they're not gonna be so stupid like they do, you know, with at least with Hilton, they let him in.

14:08 Yeah. But they're

14:10 not gonna be so stupid to do the same thing to Pratt because he's got a lot of traction, he does these ads, he's fun.

14:17 Mhmm.

14:18 But because he set a a new standard for how to do how to market yourself in a campaign,

14:26 they look at it and go, you know, this is probably not a good thing.

14:31 Let's don't encourage it.

14:33 Let's show that it doesn't work. Mhmm.

14:36 Bump it. Now do you think is there any

14:39 in any realm, is there any possibility

14:42 that maybe people really like the AI

14:46 videos, but just not a lot of people or not enough people voted for him? It's possible. I mean, anything is possible. In fact, that's explained a little bit.

14:55 In this clip, you should play this. This is this is our buddy, Brett Weinstein.

15:00 Go.

15:01 Brett On election fraud. Alright.

15:05 Hold on a second. Where is he?

15:07 Brett Weinstein. We're going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see

15:13 what we believe Now what is this on his own show, or is he a guest I have no idea where this came from. It it looks like his own show. Okay. It's clear evidence of some kind of

15:23 election rigging or fraud

15:26 are faced with

15:28 indignation

15:29 from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say,

15:36 where is your evidence? Where exactly

15:39 is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?

15:42 And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.

15:45 No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. Wow. This is deep analysis.

15:52 And the sum total of all of the evidence contains

15:55 true things and false things. Yes. So it is also no good. So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong?

16:04 I believe you can easily.

16:06 Can you prove it? No. And not being able to prove it means

16:10 that the election will proceed. It will be validated

16:14 by all of the structures, including the courts,

16:17 and that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous

16:29 through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rate. That is not an accident. And point that I wanna make primarily

16:38 is Please. Primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in

16:46 the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, you know, the, you know, moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that. We literally saw that. The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed

17:10 to allow fraud

17:12 that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted, and that's really the thing that we must focus on. Yeah. Okay. Well, can't wait to tune in to hear some the

17:22 pillow guy once said.

17:25 Mike? He says you can just look and tell that this statistically is not possible what happened happened. Right.

17:31 But you can't prove anything. Yeah. It's perfect. It's a perfect crime.

17:35 It is the perfect crime. Before you play your NPR clips,

17:40 I'm surprised you didn't get this. I got Gutfeld's

17:43 reaction from his

17:45 from his I don't I don't clip Gutfeld.

17:48 You have,

17:49 but I thought this was, you know, a typical response. So the LA mayor race is now down to two with Nithya Raman advancing over Spencer Pratt to face Bass in November.

17:59 Thanks to a delayed vote count that surged like the estrogen in Tim Waltz's veins. Okay. Good line.

18:06 So with Pratt out, LA voters have a big decision. Do they wanna live in a hole or a hell hole?

18:13 But as rotten as the outcome is, don't you dare call it fraud.

18:17 It's legal since the system is built for those who control it. So he's saying the same thing as Brett, only it's a little funnier. A mail in voting apparatus with a time frame of a month to tally votes.

18:29 Pretty convenient in case you need a second place finisher that's a democrat so two Dems face off in the final.

18:36 It's like when Jesse tips a waitress using change,

18:39 they'll keep counting as long as it takes.

18:45 So don't you feel like an idiot for thinking Pratt had a chance when he never did? No one does except those in control. The system tells you so. Fact is, Pratt would not have enough Republican votes to win,

18:57 so he'd need a lot of crossover votes.

18:59 Maybe enough people were on the fence, especially if that fence kept pantless junkies away from their kids.

19:06 But if you eliminate Pratt, you eliminate Pratt debating Bass.

19:09 It's not corrupt. It's just the way the system is run by the people who created the system.

19:15 The truth is Spencer had as bad as much of a chance of beating Bass as does anyone who runs against Putin or Kim Jong Un. No. Okay.

19:25 Maybe to play the other side, Chris Hayes,

19:29 who is still on Miz now,

19:31 they keep that guy around forever.

19:33 Chris Hayes.

19:34 Wasn't he the

19:36 the disciple of

19:39 what's her face? Rachel. Rachel. Yeah.

19:42 Yeah. He's he's In in her image. Exactly.

19:46 You might have noticed the big lie is back. Although The big lie. Truthfully never went away. Big lie. Big lie. Without evidence. Capital insurrection. MAGA is pushing another MAGA.

19:55 Equal parts deranged MAGA. Idiotic election conspiracy theory, this time centered on California.

20:01 That's how they cast votes California. Cheating on the election. There's what? Do you have evidence It's to support election? To do is look. They are still counting

20:10 the votes.

20:12 Do you trust this election?

20:14 That seems pretty shady to me. I think California is playing around with this. But what evidence is there to prove that there was a break? I don't some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here. Something's wrong. No. No. No. No. No. Not everyone knows it instinctively because there's nothing wrong here with California. No. They're the votes. They're counting the votes, by the way, as our own Jacob Sobratz has shown in a room with glass panels so you can watch them do it. Oh, that does it. Not fraud. So he's just talking about the counting of the votes, not the votes themselves.

20:46 The case Republicans are In making fact, we have one of our producers

20:50 is one of those observers in those big rooms.

20:53 And do you have a boots on the ground from the said I'm getting one. I don't have the one that I wanna report on because I wanna put it together

21:01 in a concise way. But he says it's pretty obvious that everything that

21:06 that, is fraudulent takes place stream. Yeah. It's not in the glass box. It's it's No. The glass box is just for show. Yes. With glass panels, you can watch them do it. It's not fraud.

21:17 The case Republicans are making, it's impossible to prove, so trust your instincts, is manifestly

21:22 preposterous. Absurd. But again Oh, it's preposterous.

21:25 Some big lie in 2020 Manifestly,

21:27 I tell you. In 2021. Right? Preposterous.

21:30 Essentially identical. And look what happened. Look what that led to on January 6. Oh. This case looks to me like it is setting the table to Uh-huh. Invalidate midterm results in November if Republicans perform as badly as expected. Oh, there it is. There's the setup.

21:48 The setup is there. Yeah.

21:51 Oh, man. How much longer can we stand this?

21:56 It's like

21:57 Groundhog Day. Alright. Let's talk about your mail in ballots. What you got from NPR? Well, so I was I noticed this is an NPR clip about mail in ballots. And,

22:08 just two parter.

22:10 It's about the Sorry. How it's

22:15 so import

22:17 excuse me. That's okay.

22:20 Was phlegm. Yeah. So important to have mail in ballots

22:23 that,

22:25 in these remote areas of Alaska. So what you that you have to, you know, that you wouldn't be able to get the vote in at all if it wasn't for that. And as it dawned on me what NPR is doing, and I've noticed it elsewhere too,

22:39 with some other reports on absentee ballots and the rest,

22:43 is they take the most

22:46 the most

22:48 obscure,

22:49 probably the the long shot, the the the most outrageous

22:54 example

22:55 to prove a point. Instead of, you know, using the mean or the average or anything in between, you find an outlier like Alaska

23:04 Yes. Where there's, you know, a village that's out in the middle of nowhere that can't really communicate with anybody since a couple days out of the In Inuit village. Yes.

23:13 And you make that that's which way that you have to This is the classic liberal,

23:19 lowest common denominator thinking.

23:22 Yeah. But They love doing this. It's like, well, you know,

23:25 we gotta do it because this little Jimmy here is dumb, so everyone has to be taught the same way. It's

23:31 always something like that, and that's what NPR is doing here. And I just found it it it it's a it's really annoying.

23:40 So let's play clip one. Richard Moses is an Alaska based campaign and election lawyer who's represented parties involved in ballot recounts and has seen the late arrivals firsthand.

23:50 One of them was from out in Western Alaska, was postmarked prior to election day, and still arrived seven or eight days after the deadlines. For those inside The US, Alaska allows mail in ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by election day and arrive no later than ten days after a general election.

24:09 But a supreme court decision could change that. The court is currently considering a Republican party challenge to a Mississippi law that counts mail in ballots similarly to how Alaska does. In their court brief, Republican party lawyers said that delayed counting violates federal law that nationally sets an election day. Alaska's attorney general filed a brief with the court that did not take a side but did explain the challenges Alaskans face when voting.

24:33 Moses, who has represented both Democrats and Republicans,

24:37 says if the law is struck down, it could affect Alaska significantly.

24:41 We live in a state where diphtheria serum had to be delivered a thousand miles on a dog sled. Wow. Not that long ago.

24:49 Dog sled. Change the electoral process in any way. It's gonna be groundbreaking here.

24:54 Groundbreaking.

24:55 Oh, this is great. Yeah.

24:57 You you're absolutely right. That's a great way to to to frame it. Like, look, we have Alaska.

25:02 Dog sled. You need a dog sled. How are supposed to get the vote in? We got a dog sled.

25:08 Yes.

25:12 This is like bullcrap. But anyway, let's go part two. Michelle Spark runs the nonpartisan effort called Get Out the Native Vote. They operate under the Alaska Federation of Natives, which filed an amateur They're going deep with Get Out the Native Vote. This brief in the case. They said discounting late arriving ballots would disenfranchise

25:29 many native voters

25:31 in Alaska and other places. So it's it's racist too, native voters. This is good. Who are often in remote communities. They know how to pile on. Yeah. It's fantastic. Not good to mess with these things,

25:42 during an election year. Under the proposed change, voters could still vote by mail. They'll just have to send their ballots in earlier.

25:49 But Spark says a lot can change in the weeks before election. When everybody has the luxury until 8PM on election day to make their decisions,

25:58 it's not fair to put the burden on us to do it as soon as possible.

26:03 If a change went into effect before this November,

26:06 Alaska political watchers say it could affect the consequential senate race between democrat Mary Paltola and republican Dan Sullivan. Paltola faces headwinds in a state that went to Trump by 13 points in the last election.

26:18 Still, analysts say many of Paltola's supporters live in rural areas that could be impacted by this voting change. In platinum, counting late arriving ballots is about more than just election outcomes.

26:30 It's about the principle of having a vote. Lou Adams again. It's kinda disheartening. You want your vote to be counted. Yeah. That's why you vote.

26:39 She's practically Canadian. Well, you can maybe make a difference and they count your ballot. She says the community is hoping to get a polling place. Until then, voting will rely on boats, snow machines, and bush planes. Wow.

26:55 Yeah. That has very little bearing on the vote the vote for the Los Angeles mayor. I know. But let's just play in dog sleds. That's good.

27:04 Did you see the ActBlue CEO

27:07 testifying?

27:09 I refused to answer the question on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me. This was so good. We've been talking about ActBlue

27:17 for

27:19 ten, twelve, fifteen years. At least. And and not to forget that there's the big red version which I think was started by compares

27:28 to Act Blue. Act Blue is is pretty out there, you know. Every single

27:33 activist website you see who's asking for a donation, that's the first thing you do. Activist website, let me see. Donation? Ah, yes. Act Blue. Okay.

27:41 But I just thought her

27:42 the first question was all you really need to know

27:45 to, to know how the rest of the, of the hearing went. I do have a a series of questions for you,

27:52 but I I wanna make sure I'm respectful. Is it miss Jones or miss Wallace Jones?

27:57 On the advice of counsel,

27:59 I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my fifth amendment.

28:05 I don't know my can't even say her name. That was great.

28:10 That was funny. She's so dumb. And whoever that was, he asked and he knew he knew what the answer was gonna be. That was a Yeah. Once they got a clue A quiz. Yeah. And then then,

28:20 Jim Jordan went on with, how much did Russia how much did Russia influence the election? You're right. You know, they started asking these these questions that,

28:30 you know, indicate one thing or another. In other words, the corruption of the Democrats. You could do whatever She you made

28:37 it look like the Russians

28:40 vote Democrat. I mean, the way it go went.

28:43 It

28:43 was fantastic.

28:46 So

28:49 this was let me see when was this. This was two days ago,

28:53 everybody's phone in Fredericksburg starts going off.

28:56 I'm like,

28:58 uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, alert. Know, one of those alerts?

29:02 Like the the orange orange alert, the scarlet alert? Whatever. Yeah.

29:07 F Phone alert. F b g c emergency management.

29:11 That's Fredericksburg Gillespie County. First screwworm case confirmed in Gillespie County. That came on your phone? On my phone. Yes. Yes. And if you want more information, text screwworm to 38276.

29:25 I'm like, what is this now?

29:28 So I look at it. Did you did you text screwworm? No. No. I did not. You're like an idiot doing that. Gee. I did not text screwworm. No.

29:37 And

29:39 turns out

29:41 a screwworm was detected in a goat.

29:48 This is I mean, this fear that they're throwing out there

29:52 is pretty insane. Actually, we got a we got a note from

29:57 Brazil trained veterinary

30:00 pathologist,

30:01 Juliana.

30:03 And

30:04 she says, you know, I got my education and she'll be in Brazil,

30:08 know, the new screw screw new world screw worm rages, I'm specialized.

30:13 And she gave us everything that we knew. She says, warm blooded animals are at risk including dogs and cats.

30:18 But then she says,

30:20 the sterile fly program was a huge success in The USA. It was taught in my vet school. I was sad to learn The USA is letting this plague come back. Adam, please don't take this lightly.

30:31 Keep an eye on Phoebe.

30:33 And I just wanted to say thank you, Juliana.

30:36 Just because we talk about things that could be horrible light heartedly doesn't mean that we don't take it seriously.

30:44 People confuse that. We're trying to, you know, deconstruct media

30:48 and have a bit of a lighthearted attitude about it. I mean, it's easy Yeah. Because most of it's

30:54 bogus. I mean, well, it could be hair on fire, your pets, your dogs. Yeah.

30:59 We could do that. We probably have more clicks, more likes, more downloads. We could put ourselves on YouTube, on video. John, you could make a face like, woah.

31:08 So

31:10 let's hear from the Texas Ag Commissioner, Sid Miller,

31:15 about what's not working and what has always worked and that we should resort back to. The US cattle industry began sounding the alarm over screwworms when they were detected in Mexico in 2024.

31:25 The USDA has been deploying sterile male flies to stop screwers from returning, but you're proposing something instead. What is that, and why is what the USDA is doing not enough?

31:36 Well, what they're doing is the same thing over and over again. It's expecting different results. That's the definition of ultimate sanity.

31:43 They're releasing a 100,000,000 sterile flies a a week. Been doing that for eighteen months. So we've released over 7,000,000,000

31:50 sterile flies,

31:51 yet

31:52 we have more cases today than than when we started, and they've marched from Southern Mexico 1,100

31:58 miles into Texas and New Mexico. It's not working, folks. We have a tool. The USDA has it. They come up with it. They've deployed it. They've used it in the past called the SWAS

32:07 system. That's screwworm adult suppression system. It's basically a fly bait. You put the fly bait out and pass. It's it's killed from eighty ninety five percent of the screwworm flies. You follow-up with sterile flies. The reason the sterile flies don't work is that they release a 100,000,000 flies, but half of them are females.

32:26 The ideal is to get the male to to the sterile male to mate with a a fertile female and there's no offspring.

32:33 Well, they don't mate with the fertile females. There's a fertile,

32:37 sterilized

32:38 female right beside them, so they just mate with each other. They maybe one in a hundred thousand actually goes out and and finds a a fertile female to mate with, so it's not working. Why do think the the federal government doesn't wanna deploy the SWAS method?

32:52 I've asked them.

32:53 They don't have a good good answer. It's it's their program. It's not mine.

32:57 The very first time I brought it up to Brooke Rawlin, she says it's environmentally insensitive.

33:02 I said, well, what does that mean? I don't get it. She said, well, it might kill some good flies. That's why. I don't know what a good fly is. Right. Let's say we kill good flies. You've got a billion dollar fly factory. Let's go make some more flies and turn them loose. Let's do that. The number one thing is is to eradicate the screwworm flies. What? Damn gummies. That's how we think in Texas. That gummies might take out some good flies. Don't wanna take out the flies. It could be insensitive to them.

33:28 I don't know. This thing That sounds actually, that rationale sounds correct. Yes. This whole thing sounds hoax y.

33:34 I mean, why are we doing that? And and and how can you say the screwworm How about Malathion?

33:40 That works. Yeah. Yeah. Walk the cows through it.

33:44 Yeah. How does this screwworm march

33:47 a thousand miles? I don't know. They very slowly. It's the cattle. They're moving the cattle up through here. They're Crap selling cattle. Crap

33:56 cattle.

33:57 So did you guys talk about

33:59 the SpaceX IPO on DH Unplugged? Haven't listened. We've talked about it before. Yeah.

34:06 Well, the new news It doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone who does the runs the numbers.

34:12 But,

34:13 while not making a lot of sense because it's already like overvalued,

34:17 it's four x oversubscribed,

34:20 last I looked.

34:21 And this is the thing that's interesting. I've I've taken a company public and

34:26 typical

34:27 Musk fashion, guess, it's like, no, we're not gonna discuss pricing.

34:32 It's a $130

34:33 a share no matter how many people want it or don't want it or whatever.

34:38 That's pretty that's pretty atypical

34:40 for a for an IPO where they they price it and say that's gonna be it, not the, you know, pricing the night before.

34:49 And especially Well, that's the way it used to be in the olden days. Well, in '96,

34:54 I remember that

34:56 we we were ready to walk away from the whole IPO the night before

35:02 because they didn't wanna price it at $7.

35:04 Of course, it went down to $3.50

35:07 on the first day. It was a very it was an awesome IPO.

35:11 Great quarter, guys.

35:13 It took a long time to get it back up.

35:16 But I don't know. This this whole I mean, it'll be interesting to see. Will will all of the is this the big liquidity event? The exit for all of the venture capital? The the billions of dollars that have been put into it?

35:28 Or will people hold?

35:31 Well, they're they're gonna hold it long enough until the indexers all have to buy it up and it it should jack it up a few points. Mhmm. And then we'll see what happens. I'd get out as soon as I could. Yeah.

35:42 This is what you want. You wanna You I mean, as soon as I could after the index was all bought in because it the way it's set up is that

35:51 it's gonna have to be bought up out of the index funds because it's gonna be an index stock. Mhmm. And

35:58 and so they're gonna have to buy a ton of it, and so that's gonna prop it up and it should either go up enough that you can make a little money there right at the end right at the beginning.

36:09 And then

36:11 who knows what's gonna happen? I think it's gonna collapse.

36:14 Oh.

36:16 Not the first day though.

36:18 No. No. I don't think so. It's got a spike on well,

36:21 senator Warren,

36:23 Elizabeth Warren did something which I think is very smart.

36:28 She made a statement which she has nothing to lose if it's a huge success. No one will remember what she said.

36:34 But if and when it collapses,

36:36 she'll she'll be looking like a hero. Getting some news on SpaceX this morning. One prominent senator now calling for an IPO delay.

36:43 Our Haman Jabbers has that for us, Haman. 12 page letter here, heavily footnoted. Yeah. Good morning, Carl. This is a letter from Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren to the commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission

36:55 asking the commission to delay Friday's SpaceX IPO citing investor

37:00 protection

37:01 concerns.

37:02 Elizabeth Warren in this letter citing a number of factors she says warrant a delay in the IPO including the company's valuation. She says market analysts have raised concerns about the math underlying SpaceX's

37:14 target valuation.

37:16 She raises concerns about governance structure saying publicly traded companies are meant to be accountable to their shareholders.

37:22 The SpaceX IPO will flip this model on its head with shareholders providing billions of dollars in new capital with no accountability measures for mister Musk or company leadership.

37:33 And she's expressing concerns here about passive investors saying the SpaceX IPO creates a new concern that major stock market indexes are being rigged in a way that would force millions of investors in passive index funds, a generally lower cost investment option that can be attractive to retail investors to invest in SpaceX

37:51 and face exposure to SpaceX's significant risk with no choice in the matter. So that from Elizabeth Warren. The political reality is that Donald Trump's SEC not likely to take Elizabeth Warren's advice here on this IPO on Friday, but I think it does signal some concerns out there in the investing community. And if Democrats are to be successful in the midterms,

38:11 it could proceed

38:13 some static for the company after November, guys. Back to you. Mhmm.

38:19 Well, since

38:21 Elon's a genius,

38:24 we'll see.

38:25 I I think it here's a here's an out there prediction.

38:30 I think,

38:31 before long,

38:33 Elon is going to find a way to leverage this

38:37 IPO and buy a company called Boom Supersonic.

38:41 Is that the airplane company?

38:43 Yeah. That has this the small supersonic planes?

38:47 That's not that small, holds a 100 people. Why would he buy why what's the point of that? I think he's gonna become like Boeing. They wanna be in the in the airline business. Really?

38:58 This is a that this is a random thought in my head. Oh, okay. Well, let's put it in the book. Do you still have a red book? No. You don't have the red book. Why are you not home by the way? You're Jay's place again? Yeah. Yeah. They're painting at my place. Oh, no. That'll kill you.

39:13 So the the big concern has been too big to fail,

39:18 how are we gonna protect, you know, the poor four zero one k holders,

39:24 how are gonna protect our GDP?

39:26 And it seems like that fear is coming true with the idea of the United States government taking a stake in the AI companies.

39:34 Hi, Kelly. So we are hearing that The US Government is considering taking a stake in OpenAI,

39:40 possibly other AI giants as well. A source tells me CEO,

39:43 Sam Altman, and the Trump administration have been talking about this idea for more than a year now. Altman first floated this from what I'm hearing back in 2025 when Trump initially took office. A source says that OpenAI would actually donate a portion of its equity to a possible Donate. AI fund as part of this. Altman was on Capitol Hill just this week. He was meeting with lawmakers from what we're hearing, including senator Bernie Sanders, has pitched a 50% government stake in some of these AI companies. He confirmed to CNBC that he and Altman talked

40:12 about the concept of a sovereign wealth fund in terms of investing in AI. Much of this does mirror what OpenAI has said publicly already back in April. It did pitch a handful of solutions to try to spread the economic benefits of this technology and let Americans participate in AI's financial upside at a time when there is real anxiety

40:30 around widespread job loss.

40:32 The government, though, has a recent track record when you look at recent direct equity stakes in other tech companies who have Intel, IBM, Global Foundries, other critical mineral companies, plus some quantum companies as well. Worth noting, though, And also other governments around the world are actually already invested in Open Eye and Anthropic

40:50 through their own sovereign wealth funds. You have MGX out of Abu Dhabi and then, the UAE fund. There are also some state funds that own blocks through venture capital firms. So there's sort of a precedent for this on a global scale.

41:03 It's

41:03 it's fun to watch the, the other tech CEOs kind of flipping out a little bit. How's is Palantir stock still

41:09 rocketing or is it diving?

41:12 I don't know that it's diving. I think it's doing okay. I haven't looked at it for a while. Because, you know, that crazy guy, Alex Karp, the CEO,

41:20 looks like a mad scientist. He's Yeah. A mad scientist. So it sounds like he's really afraid

41:25 that

41:26 that these, know, that of course, the promise of AI is it can recreate everything. You don't need your you don't need your tax software. You don't need you don't need anything.

41:35 It's gonna it's gonna make everything for everybody and all these other companies will not be necessary and he did an interview on CNBC and he sounded

41:42 scared or nervous. Just weird.

41:45 Because I think the biggest question around Palantir right now on Wall Street

41:48 is whether the large language models, the Anthropics and the AIs, are about to go The Anthropics and the AIs. Come on. Oh, come on, man. Don't do that. There's only three companies.

41:57 Public can replicate what you're doing. You know what?

42:01 It's it's a real question

42:03 that no one in enterprise

42:05 factually is worried. Like, you know, investors are really intrigued. Short term have no idea what they're talking about. Long term end up being right. But we we we will just debate this with the facts. You know, I I've spent all my life, for better or worse, dealing with the most complicated, most enter interesting enterprises. I'm on the Ground Floor than that probably like no one else. And I They don't, you're saying? They're

42:28 I mean, most of them are chill chill chillaxing

42:31 over their latte,

42:32 reading a report about something that they don't understand the technical capacity about. You know? They're idiots, I tell you. They don't know what they're talking about. You know But they're hiring the kind of engineers

42:41 that Great. That you have. That that

42:44 and those kind of engineers are great engineers, and I'm telling you they don't talk to the enterprises or don't understand the technical challenge. And also, by the way, the ability to be a great investor

42:54 in the kind of where those that's where large language models are more useful because it's it's probabilistic,

42:59 and you don't have to get better than really 51%.

43:02 If you wanna manufacture a car and you need a part or you wanna send a rocket to the moon or you wanna put missile on your adversary's head and bring home Americans safely. You use you use

43:13 Palantir. That stuff doesn't ship. And by the way, and there's not a single If you wanna put a missile on your enemy's head, you call me. High end enterprise like that that would ever put by the way, that's before you get to the cultural impasse. Like,

43:26 the the when you go to San Francisco and talk to them, their basic vibe is, we don't have to solve your problem today because tomorrow, you're gonna go away and all of your problems are gonna be solved. It's largely religious. And then you get to, we're gonna do we're gonna replicate Palantir by doing a deploy code. I mean, it's a complete farce. Like, the people who go there, they solve the simplest, easiest problems that sell tokens.

43:49 And they're the part they don't understand, honestly, and I told them this, probably shouldn't, is they don't understand how unlikable they are.

43:57 And they're no good.

43:59 Well, he's right about the unlikable.

44:02 Yeah. Totally.

44:04 Totally.

44:05 I I was Yeah. Palantir is still hanging in there a $130 a share. Yeah. I just saw it. Looking pretty good.

44:11 But you know, people think that Palantir is like this box that does everything. They they didn't even have AI in their box until this stuff came along. It's just a big database.

44:24 What do you need? Well, Palantir, you know, all the data centers, they're gonna collect all of our information

44:29 and then they're gonna we're gonna be living in a Panopticon.

44:33 I think what he's worried about, if he's worried at all, is that if these things start to fail, this may be the triggering mechanism for a huge correction that dropped the stocks under a 100. Or

44:45 less.

44:46 Oh, drop it down to God knows what. Yeah.

44:49 It'll be interesting. I I

44:52 I I don't know about see the the hedge that Elon has is he's got more than just x AI, you know, he's got the space stuff in there. He's got the he's got the satellite stuff.

45:05 And he's selling Yeah. The satellite company. And he's selling his compute

45:09 to the other guys.

45:11 But I I think he may actually do okay.

45:14 It's OpenAI and Anthropic. Those are the ones that'll be interesting to see.

45:18 But I guess they're gonna wait.

45:21 We'll see what happens. I think those are gonna come out next week or the week after or something? Really? Really that fast? Oh, man. Well, I thought they were all coming out at once more or less. I don't know. And then Google's asking for some money. Yeah.

45:33 As if they need it. Well, we know they need the 40,000,000,000. Half of it they need for compensation.

45:39 That's why they need the That's right. They gotta pay all

45:43 the promises. They got some problem they got some problems over there.

45:47 And then, oh, well, Anthropic is doing their marketing. Yes. Here we go. Remember that mythos model? It was so scary. We couldn't release to the public. We had to only give it to a few partners. We have some breaking news on it. It's always breaking news. Tropic, speaking of AI and maybe speaking of token maxing. Kate Rooney has the story. Hi, Kate. Maxing. Hi, Kelly. So Anthropic just rolling out a mythos

46:09 level AI model to consumers.

46:12 That is the important part of that sentence to consumers. Why the laugh tall one? If you haven't heard of mythos Yeah. Really? This is Anthropic's buzzy cybersecurity It had only been available to a select handful of companies.

46:24 It rolled out back in April at the time. Anthropic said it was an ultra powerful technology that excelled in finding

46:30 decades old security vulnerabilities. It was essentially too powerful, they said, and risky to put in the hands of the general public. It got a lot of attention on Wall Street and the Trump administration as well. It is now widely available.

46:42 It's not called Mythos, though. It is called Fable five. It's the same underlying technology, though, as Mythos. Anthropic says there are more safeguards involved, especially around things like biochemicals

46:53 and cybersecurity.

46:54 I did speak to Diane Penn over at Anthropic. She likened this rollout to a credit card. I think this is an easy way to understand it. Certain people have certain spending limits, and then there are additional verifications for enterprises that might get a higher spending limit. So you can think of that in the context of mythos. Penn told me they wanna be intent Did you understand the analogy? What is she saying? I don't know what she's talking about. She's babbling. I I think what she's saying is that you that they have to still preapprove you to use the fable five. Who comes up with these code names? Bull of crap. You know, the Gary Mark is the guy who had a visit just for the day. People Thank you for that. I've been I've been reading his, his sub stack.

47:31 Yeah. His thesis, he says, look, here's what these guys do. First, they come out and they because they got a new version coming out, so they say, we can't release the version It's too good. Because it will destroy all mankind.

47:41 It's too good. We don't know what to do. It's too good. And so the news media picks that up and they, oh, this is gonna be terrible.

47:48 And then they end up releasing it, like like, a month later, and then the news media picks it up saying, oh, just what the the clip you're playing, actually. Mhmm. Oh, they release the crazy thing that could destroy all mankind.

48:00 And then they do the same thing over and over. Every six months, they'll pull the same stunt. And it works every time because the The media. Slow news cycle. I don't know, people are bored. They have they have nothing better to talk about. That's all they have.

48:14 That's all they have.

48:16 It's it's it's what the news does, you know. Hey, the World Cup is kicking off, that'll change the news cycle. Yeah. Watch party. You'll you'll love that. Meanwhile, what has been long expected

48:28 in Europe

48:29 is happening

48:31 with the beheading

48:33 of a citizen of Ireland.

48:36 Well, they didn't quite behead him, did he? Think he just gouged his eyes out. Attempted beheading. You know, he didn't have he he didn't have a knife big enough, but it's kicking off.

48:44 Homes, cars, and a public bus ablaze on the streets of Belfast.

48:49 People forced to flee as firefighters battle the flames,

48:53 while political leaders try to dampen the anger that sparked

48:57 destructive protests.

48:58 Many people are feeling angry,

49:00 and many people are feeling deeply distressed,

49:02 which is entirely understandable.

49:04 First minister Michelle O'Neil has addressed the knife attack that's left a man in his forties with serious injuries to his face, neck, and back, and the response that's followed. People are feeling a bag of emotions about what they have witnessed.

49:18 But my message today is one of calm, and don't allow those people that don't care about people here to incite hatred, to incite fear. Don't allow those people who are faceless to orchestrate campaigns and on the streets. A Sudanese man who was granted refugee status after arriving in 2023

49:35 has been charged with attempted murder over the Belfast attack,

49:39 but police are still trying to determine a motive.

49:42 Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable John Bucher is urging the masked youths gathering around the city to stand down. Please,

49:51 please

49:52 let the police do their job.

49:55 Unfettered and undistracted

49:57 by wider

49:58 concerns than maybe about disorder.

50:01 Man,

50:02 let the police do their job? Really?

50:04 That's that's exactly what everyone saw them doing with the

50:10 with the kid who Polish kid is the kid who was dying. The violence in Northern Ireland No.

50:15 You're not stabbed. The violence in Northern Ireland follows trouble in the city of Southampton in England last week. Arrests were made there after police were criticized for handcuffing a dying white man who'd been stabbed by a Sikh man. He wasn't an immigrant,

50:32 but he was born in Britain. He had falsely accused his victim of racism.

50:36 The arrest was filmed and widely viewed online.

50:39 I asked our UK political correspondent,

50:42 Rob Watson, why immigration

50:44 is such a hot button issue in The UK.

50:48 Why?

50:48 Really? Why? We can't figure out. I'm wrong from the beginning. I can't figure it out. Well, the thing is I don't get it. What's happening? Pitch because we've now had two videos showing truly graphic violence. And I think you can't understate how important it is that these dreadful videos have been seen by so many people Stop the videos. Most in Britain, by the way, Alex, but around the world. And it's very hard to see these videos

51:13 without having a strong reaction of horror, sadness, anger, depending of course on the kind of person you are. And so what What does that mean? Depending on

51:23 wait a minute. What kind of person cold blooded asshole.

51:26 What action of horror, sadness, anger, depending, of course, on the kind of person you are. And so what that has done is that it sort of brought this

51:35 simmering concern

51:36 about immigration

51:38 and social cohesion

51:40 very much to the fore. And it is extraordinary that before these two videos even, if you look at the polling, it does strongly suggest the concern about immigration,

51:50 not just illegal immigration or about refugees or asylum seekers,

51:54 is actually now a more important issue for British voters than even the economy, which is pretty extraordinary.

52:02 Yeah. Oh, yes. Very, very extraordinary. And here's That's very extraordinary. So now this won't this won't affect Keir Starmer at all, I don't think.

52:11 But, his message is not what people wanna hear. Mister speaker, people are rightly sickened by the horrific attack

52:18 on Monday night in North Belfast.

52:20 As you have just said, the man arrested

52:23 has been in court in Belfast this morning and charged.

52:27 I want to thank the Police Service of Northern Ireland and other first responders and members of the public who responded with such bravery,

52:36 and our thoughts are with thee victim. But

52:39 let me be clear, mister speaker.

52:41 The acts of violence and arson that followed

52:45 are totally unjustified.

52:47 Unjustified.

52:48 This

52:49 morning, I spoke with the first minister,

52:51 the deputy first minister,

52:53 and the chief constable.

52:55 And the secretary of state for Northern Ireland is meeting leaders in Belfast today.

52:59 We are united

53:01 in calling for calm

53:03 and determined to restore order Order. To support the police and all those on the front line and ensure that justice is done.

53:12 This

53:13 is not what people wanna hear. This is gonna happen all over Europe eventually. The the the Irish, they're just, you know, they're primed for that. That's part of their culture.

53:22 But it's this is it's bound to happen.

53:26 Every single time this takes place now, people are gonna come out.

53:30 Start burning by

53:32 any means. No. It's not. But how crazy are these these European and and well, I'll just say European UK

53:41 representatives.

53:43 The the they're stupid.

53:47 It's all part of the global

53:49 elite

53:51 globalist agenda.

53:52 Yes.

53:54 Meanwhile, in Texas,

53:56 my Oh, yeah.

53:58 What? Tries to get away from it. My

54:01 Except in Trinidad.

54:03 My septic guy just texted me. Here here here's how we work in Texas. You know, he checks on the septic system every six months.

54:12 Please have all trip mines and explosives secured and disengaged as we'll be on the property shortly.

54:18 That's Texas.

54:20 Yeah. Yeah. I gotcha. And he's serious. He he means it. Love

54:27 that.

54:28 Alright. So I got a couple of offbeat things here. I have one clip that about you, Scott Pelly, as we talked about last Yes. Show was fired. Yes.

54:38 And so the New York Times, there's one woman who does these interviews that new called The Interview.

54:43 And she's good because she's pretty objective and she's Isn't that, Lulu? Isn't that Lulu? Yeah. Maybe. Think it's Lulu. I think it's Lulu. Yeah. De Lulu. She she's

54:52 she's doesn't

54:54 she sees everybody as full of crap and she kind of without

54:58 overdoing it, she's really quite good at it. And she lets Pelly go on and on. He he does this in law. It's about an hour and he's crying.

55:06 Yeah. I know. Moaning and He's crying about the daughter of, what is it?

55:12 Some reporter.

55:14 What no. Was it like the granddaughter

55:17 of

55:18 who was the big CBS guy?

55:20 No.

55:21 Palin or not Palin, but,

55:24 Paley.

55:25 Yes. Or what no. No.

55:27 Cronkite. Cronkite. Wasn't it Yeah. One somebody or one of them. There was some Yeah.

55:31 That it was she worked there for a while and she got fired and oh my god. Well, Anyway Here's the bottom line. You become a journalist

55:40 because of democracy.

55:43 That's

55:43 the message. I

55:45 got this one clip out of the whole I mean, I could have clipped quite a bit, but I thought this was interesting.

55:51 This is a a clip where he he says one thing and within within sixty seconds

55:57 of saying it, he contradicts himself.

56:01 And is he's talking about,

56:03 oh, yeah. As soon as Builtons showed up, he looked at the memo and he says, oh, they're gonna fire all of us. Mhmm. Yeah. They're gonna fire all of us. And then within sixty seconds, he says, I was stunned when I was fired.

56:16 They wiped out a large number of people. Wiped them out. One of the things Nick Milton said in that,

56:23 ill fated email to the staff was that he was excited to tell I'm paraphrasing here he was excited to tell the staff about the new

56:33 crop of correspondence.

56:36 And when I saw that I thought, okay, they're gonna fire all of us eventually.

56:41 That's

56:42 the plan. He put it in writing for all of us to see. And so that's why I use

56:49 these admittedly for a journalist hyperbolic

56:52 terms.

56:53 They capture the scale of what happened.

56:56 You then do have

56:58 a meeting with CBS leadership

57:00 after this very

57:02 contentious,

57:05 interaction.

57:06 You tell me about that meeting and and if you were at that point

57:11 going in expecting to be fired? Oh, gosh. Furthest

57:15 thing from my mind. It hadn't occurred to me.

57:19 That's good.

57:21 I

57:22 have two clips.

57:23 What a doofus.

57:25 Well, it gets even better here, mister journalist,

57:31 about the

57:32 the bias that

57:35 specifically Barry Weiss wanted to Oh, Let me can I give you a little little background error when when they put before he played the clip?

57:42 He goes on and on about she's trying to put her thumb on the scale blah blah blah blah blah. She made these suggestions

57:48 And they implemented

57:49 none of the suggestions that Barry Weiss suggested, and then there was no pushback at all. So what's the big deal? She tries to get that out of him, but she can't do it. Right now,

58:01 CBS News, in my view,

58:04 is on fire.

58:05 This is It's on fire. This is this is, Morning Joe with the music and everything. They add a bunch to it. It's great. We had a This morning, the new interview,

58:15 Scott Pelly speaking out on camera for the first time since his firing last week from the iconic CBS News broadcast,

58:22 sixty Minutes.

58:24 It's like your spouse was murdered. A what? The mood among the sixty Minutes staff is

58:29 I've been fired. Have you ever been fired? You've been fired?

58:32 Yeah. Did it feel like your wife was murdered?

58:35 No. Not really.

58:37 Real. I think that would be a little more traumatic. I think so too. Word that several of my sources have used with me. They feel demoralized,

58:45 dismayed.

58:46 Pelly dismissed following a reportedly contentious meeting with show staff,

58:50 accusing newly installed executive producer Nick Bilton of having slender qualifications

58:56 ending CBS News editor in chief Barry Weiss was murdering sixty minutes after several top correspondents and producers were let go. It was the wholesale nature of it.

59:07 Our

59:08 senior staff wiped out. We had a triumphal year, so this is incredibly

59:14 difficult to understand.

59:16 A triumphal year?

59:17 What do you mean they had to read, they had to take back interviews that they

59:22 edited

59:23 deceptively?

59:24 What was the triumph they had?

59:27 They their numbers were up. Oh, numbers were up. Kelly also saying Weiss tried to have him insert bias and falsehoods into a story. This is my favorite. Listen to the journalist. Giving multiple notes on a report about the killings of American citizens Renee Goode and Alex Preti by federal immigration officers.

59:43 Two of the things in the email

59:45 include,

59:46 can we make the protesters look more violent?

59:50 Okay. So in the email,

59:52 two of the things, one was,

59:55 can we make the protesters

59:57 look more violent?

59:59 Now I'm paraphrasing.

1:00:01 I don't have the quote. What? But that's what was communicated

1:00:05 to me. Where's

1:00:07 the email? I would have that printed out in my pocket.

1:00:11 He's paraphrasing.

1:00:13 So what what did it actually say? This is not journalism.

1:00:18 I find that egregious. I'm I kinda missed that. That's good. Yeah. It's like what are you doing here?

1:00:24 Paraphrasing. Yes.

1:00:27 And the other thing was

1:00:29 Renee Goodskar.

1:00:31 You need to describe her as

1:00:34 driving toward the officer. I'm paraphrasing. Police says his team rechecked to make sure nothing was missed before deciding not to take the notes. That episode of sixty minutes

1:00:45 came within nineteen minutes of not

1:00:49 making air. You know, this is a guy who's been at the company for a long time.

1:00:55 And long

1:00:56 before Barry Weiss,

1:00:58 he didn't feel valued.

1:01:00 You can tell. It's just like no one cares, no one values the important work we do,

1:01:06 our honesty,

1:01:07 our integrity No. No. Change it from we do to I do. Yeah. Well, yes, to I. This was a guy. This is the guy who just felt undervalued and here's the final clip to prove it. In a statement, a CBS News spokesperson telling MS Now Weiss's points had no political motivation

1:01:24 and were proposed solely to make the piece as strong, fair, and accurate as possible.

1:01:29 As is frequently the case in any newsroom that operates with collaboration,

1:01:33 not everything she raised made it into the final piece. Is it possible

1:01:38 to see this as the system working?

1:01:41 She had notes.

1:01:43 You felt they didn't make sense to take.

1:01:46 The peace ran, and there was no retaliation.

1:01:51 Well, it was the interference as a problem. And

1:01:54 What interference?

1:01:55 It was interference and pushing back like you you can't you stupid

1:02:00 sub stacker.

1:02:02 You can't tell me what to do. I'm Scott Pelly.

1:02:05 The bigger problem, Lulu, frankly Lulu. Is not

1:02:10 any kind of political influence.

1:02:13 Oh. The problem was Well, this is what we've heard over and over again, that this is Trump's channel. The incompetence.

1:02:19 Premi interview, Pelly emotional,

1:02:21 talking about the treatment of his colleagues. He also responded to president Trump calling him stupid and stiff and saying he doesn't care about the country. You become a journalist because you love the country. No. No. I gotta disagree with that.

1:02:36 You do not become a journalist because you love the country. What was what was his first journalistic job?

1:02:43 We can find out soon enough just by looking him up. Yeah. Look at him. Now, why is the Book of Knowledge? Oh, that's a good idea. Hold on a second.

1:02:51 Book of Knowledge, what was Scott Pelly's first job in journalism?

1:02:59 I hope it's something good.

1:03:01 It'll be lame. According to the book of knowledge, Scott Pelly obtained his first job in journalism at the age of 15 as a copy boy for the Lubbock Avalanche Journal in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas.

1:03:15 Thus,

1:03:17 it has been written No. He was a copy boy because he loved the country.

1:03:22 That's why he got into it, man.

1:03:25 And while all the other descriptions

1:03:27 that the president used about me might be applicable,

1:03:31 Not that one. Not that one.

1:03:34 There is no Not that one. Democracy

1:03:39 without journalism.

1:03:40 Really,

1:03:42 Scott? Is that really it? There's no democracy without journalism?

1:03:46 How about first amendment maybe? I don't know about journalism. Before Pelly's interview dropped Sunday, three sixty minutes correspondents,

1:03:53 Leslie Saul, Bill Whitaker, and John Wertheim confirmed

1:03:57 in a memo to their colleagues they would continue on the show for now saying, quote, we don't wanna see sixty minutes die,

1:04:04 but they made it clear they were No. Not here to walk if their independence was not respected. Yeah. But we'll walk if our independence is not respected.

1:04:12 Yeah. Sure you will. We'll walk. Yes. We'll walk.

1:04:15 Exactly.

1:04:17 Well,

1:04:18 yeah. It you know, there's a time for coming, time for going, Scott Pelly.

1:04:25 Just happens.

1:04:28 Do I get picked up by someone?

1:04:30 Oh, of course. No.

1:04:32 No. No. No. No. The Peli Pod the Peli Pod. Oh, you're right. I'm so what am I thinking? What's wrong with you, man? Yeah. You already came up with that last show, Peli Pod. No. Peli Pod. We talked about it after the show.

1:04:44 Oh, Peli Pod. The Peli Pod. It's gonna be the Peli Pod. It'd be great. Yeah. Yeah.

1:04:51 Alright.

1:04:51 There's

1:04:52 a couple other things. What do what do you got in your screwball? I guess, screwball. You got Here. You can I'm gonna play this. Can I just say can I just flag something for you? Please. Last episode in this episode,

1:05:02 at least four times you say, I got a couple of screwball clips. Just just say it's clips. Screwball

1:05:07 they're good clips. It's not screwball. Am I am I you overusing the word screwball? Yeah. A little bit. Is that what you're accusing me of? I'm I'm flagging it.

1:05:17 Well, I think you're correct. Okay.

1:05:21 So what kind of clips do you have? No. I feel bad. No. Don't feel bad. Screwball a screwball is a is a Well, I have the whatever girls, which is always good for a laugh. Oh, brother. Here we go. No. I don't wanna play that. No. Alright.

1:05:35 Let's go let's do some serious

1:05:37 clips. Let's let's because we need updates on Artemis.

1:05:41 Oh, yes. No chicks.

1:05:42 With chicks with an r.

1:05:44 Artemis with an r. Yes. Okay. Got it. What do we know about this crew

1:05:49 and this historic mission, what they're gonna be doing? Yeah. So it's, let's talk about the mission first. I mean, this is a bridge between that Artemis two mission from just a couple of months ago that flew around the moon. Didn't land on the moon, flew around it. First time, astronauts had been in the vicinity of the moon since 1972,

1:06:06 and then the mission after this upcoming one is gonna be a landing on it. This is a test where they're gonna take that Orion spacecraft,

1:06:12 and they're gonna dock with the two lunar landers, the spacecraft that are actually gonna ferry the astronauts

1:06:18 to the surface of the moon and then back up before they come back. They're gonna do those tests though on this mission, the Artemis three mission in Earth's orbit. And so today, what NASA did to great pomp and circumstance

1:06:31 was name the crew of that mission that are gonna be testing out

1:06:35 these lunar landers. And there is talk about ramping up the cadence of this mission, in essence The cadence. Speed things along? Well, yeah, and that's what NASA is saying, and they would like this mission to go in 2027

1:06:47 ahead of a landing in 2028.

1:06:49 Uh-huh. But you

1:06:51 have seen the news that, you know, one of the companies involved in this, Blue Origin Blue Origin. A company owned by Jeff Bezos, just a couple of weeks ago had their new Glenn rocket, which would be vital potentially to this mission,

1:07:05 just explode in dramatic fashion,

1:07:07 obliterated the launch pad.

1:07:09 NASA says they're gonna be ready in time for this, but we shouldn't discount the fact that the other provider, is Elon Musk's SpaceX,

1:07:17 they've made a lot of progress with their Starship vehicle,

1:07:21 which is their lunar lander,

1:07:22 but it's never flown people.

1:07:24 It's never left the vicinity of Earth. It's never landed on the moon. And so while they're putting faces, you know, to this mission,

1:07:32 whether they'll be able to do it, next year and then have a lunar landing by 2028,

1:07:38 I think a lot of people are frankly skeptical about that. Yes. Including your No Agenda show podcast.

1:07:43 Totally. Very skeptical about that.

1:07:47 Now wouldn't that affect the SpaceX

1:07:50 stock?

1:07:51 It's gonna be interesting to see how space news will affect the stock. That whole stock is gonna be fun to watch. I don't think it's gonna affect it as much as a as a as a SpaceX

1:08:01 vehicle blowing up and taking the the whole

1:08:05 Wow. Yeah. With it. Yeah.

1:08:07 Yeah. That can happen. Yeah. That's a risky of course, what would really company. Sink the company would be people getting killed.

1:08:16 Yeah. It's a bad day

1:08:18 when that happens.

1:08:22 A little bit of Epstein news,

1:08:25 which I thought was interesting coming from a new book

1:08:28 titled Regime Change.

1:08:31 Have you heard about the regime change? No. No. I all I heard recently about Epstein is Bill Gates' testimony.

1:08:37 Yeah. But the I have a clip, it's it's just nothing. All he says is, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Okay. No. He said, according to this morning,

1:08:47 he did somebody leaked that he said that he was being blackmailed.

1:08:50 Yeah. Yeah. But we knew that. I don't believe it. Yeah. We we knew it. But it was the the s STD thing.

1:08:58 That that note that the the email that Epstein had

1:09:02 saved in his Gmail draft Oh, Maybe. It's okay. Well, this Did you call that black mail? Yeah. Here's the here's the MSNU

1:09:10 version of the story of the book Regime Change. Danielle, like, I could understand

1:09:14 the strategy of trying to utilize MAGA media, but MAGA media. Did Tucker Carlson interview Maxwell? What's your reaction to that? I mean, I think that it's incredibly shocking, but I for me, what is most disturbing are the people that were in in the Situation Room. And the way that Haberman and Swan started off their their piece was stating what the Situation Room is actually used for. Right? Like Right. War and discussions of strategy around our foreign relations and and domestic issues, etcetera. And the fact that so many of Donald Trump's top staff,

1:09:51 cabinet members were in that situation room without him to discuss how to cater,

1:09:57 right, how to create a PR,

1:09:59 package

1:10:00 for the Epstein files is incredibly shocking. But the idea that you can get Tucker Carlson to sit down with Ghislaine Maxwell and Tucker Carlson,

1:10:08 who has been at odds,

1:10:10 with this White House on a number of issues,

1:10:13 is really just it's an it's extraordinary.

1:10:16 But to me, the most extraordinary part is how many people were involved in the spin, in the cover up, and in the lie that this White House said that Donald Trump had nothing to do with the Epstein files, and yet these are not the actions that are taken by innocent people. So

1:10:32 here What? They're guilty. They're covering for pedophiles. Here's the backstory.

1:10:37 So

1:10:40 Susie Wiles,

1:10:42 Levitt,

1:10:43 Bondi,

1:10:44 Blanche,

1:10:45 Patel,

1:10:46 Bongino, they're all in the situation room

1:10:49 throughout this in the summer of twenty twenty five

1:10:52 because they want to contain the Epstein files fallout

1:10:55 fearing that their the the MAGA base

1:10:59 would turn on them, which of course is exactly what happened. And apparently, Bongino was like, f you Bondi, you you screwed this up from the start, which is also true. Yeah. Absolutely true. And so Trump wanted this stuff buried. This is all according to this book, Regime Change.

1:11:17 And it's Who wrote the book? Oh, Maggie Haberman and, you know, she's one of my favorite Times people. Yeah. No. It's all New York Times. Yes. And this is Where did they get this information?

1:11:27 Oh, well, uncorroborated. Of

1:11:30 course.

1:11:34 So apparently,

1:11:36 JD Vance

1:11:38 Let me we'll host let's stop right here. The situation

1:11:41 room is a room that is

1:11:43 one of the most protected. It's almost this is almost like a skiff. A reason. Yes. Like a skiff that you there's no

1:11:50 listening devices. You can't get in, you can't get out kind of thing.

1:11:55 So

1:11:56 there's sad to be somebody in the meeting that

1:11:58 got that's friends with Halberman, hey, Haberman. Well, remember, this is the same situation room the New York Times wrote about where they said that Netanyahu was running the meeting sitting at the head of the table and Trump was in the corner sulking or sleeping.

1:12:13 You know, so you know So it could be bull crap. It could be. So apparently,

1:12:17 JD Vance

1:12:19 floated the idea of having Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell in prison

1:12:24 hoping she'd exonerate Trump

1:12:27 and they chose Blanche instead.

1:12:33 According let's see.

1:12:35 The tactic they came up with is Blanche proposed unsealing motions expected to be denied so the administration could blame the judges for non disclosure. This is according to

1:12:46 Newsweek and Axios who summarized the book and

1:12:50 something from the New York from the New York Times. So the big thing here is the the story

1:12:56 as far as I can tell is that they wanted Tucker to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, have someone friendly do it, which they ultimately didn't go with.

1:13:04 And it's being played as, you know, well, they clearly had something to cover up. Whereas,

1:13:09 I think the other side of it is Trump knew as he said, let's put it that way. He said this is a democrat hoax,

1:13:17 which so far seems to be correct

1:13:21 because there's really nothing about Trump in there

1:13:25 other than some crazy FBI papers

1:13:28 that talked about him raping a 13 year old which came from, you know, phone call.

1:13:33 Yeah. Some anonymous call. Hello.

1:13:36 Got some info for you. Yeah. So here's Tapper,

1:13:39 Jake on the on the New York Times excerpt from the book as they promoted heavily right before the midterms, of course. We're gonna start with the eyebrow raising report today. Eyebrow raising? Detailing the White House freak out. That's in quotes. White House freak out over the Epstein files last summer. This New York Times article is drawn from reporting done for the new book regime change, which which comes out in roughly two weeks. It's by, New York Times, White House reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Here are some of the highlights of today's excerpt on 07/17/2025,

1:14:11 about a year ago. A chunk of Trump's top officials who you see listed on your screen, led by the vice president filed into the White House situation room without the commander in chief, without president Trump. They were trying to figure out how to regain control over the growing ugly narrative that the Trump administration was, at the very least, complicit in a cover up for the crimes of now dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and other predators in his orbit.

1:14:35 Ten days earlier, the justice department Note notice how he says pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

1:14:43 Yeah. That's what you do. The very least complicit in a cover up for the crimes of now dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and other predators in his orbit.

1:14:52 Ten days earlier, the justice department and FBI had released their nothing to see here memo saying that their review found no client list of the powerful men to whom Epstein had allegedly trafficked girls underage and women.

1:15:05 Vice president Vance reportedly told the group, this is a huge problem,

1:15:09 and he argued that all the Epstein files should be released.

1:15:12 The report says, quote, Vance had also floated to colleagues an extraordinary PR gambit that the White House enlist Tucker Carlson to interview

1:15:20 Epstein's longtime girlfriend and co conspirator, Ghislain Maxwell, in prison. It might help the president if Maxwell was willing to state that Trump had not been part of any wrongdoing

1:15:30 with Epstein.

1:15:31 Spoiler alert, Tucker did not get that gig. You will note, however, that the goal here, as stated

1:15:37 seemed to be to get Trump cleared

1:15:39 by Maxwell who is a criminal with questionable credibility to say the least. So

1:15:46 that seems to be the headline. So I don't think there's much else in the book.

1:15:50 Not on-site. That's probably the book. That's probably the book right there. Then maybe this one is a little bit here. Now here's how some of the situation room debate went down according to this Times report by Haberman and Swan. Quote, the vice president said he thought the president would be okay with releasing the nipple related documents

1:16:06 arguing that Trump had been accused of worse.

1:16:09 I think we should put it out, he said. It would cause people to say we're going for This is the nipple gate.

1:16:15 Somewhere apparently in in the files which I have not seen,

1:16:19 someone claimed that Trump liked nipples.

1:16:23 Oh, brother. This is like that Gorilla TV bullcrap.

1:16:27 Oh, Gorilla TV?

1:16:29 Oh, that he watched Gorillas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got in Yeah. In office. Yeah. They made the claims in one of these Axios Summit. Oh, that he sits and watches Gorilla TV.

1:16:39 Yeah. And he don't remember the Gorilla TV series? I remember. Yeah. I remember. I remember. Yeah. He watches that's all he watches. He goes on TV and he watches Gorilla,

1:17:16 it. No. I don't do that about nipples and me. That's no good. It was a point no one wanted to continue debating.

1:17:22 Now this story summed up the White House dilemma as the report put it, quote, piles of accusations were impossible to disprove

1:17:28 and equally impossible to make go away. Every door they opened led to another room and in every room were more claims from more women. Unquote. Yeah. Claims from more women. None of whom will testify because they all get paid off.

1:17:42 Yeah.

1:17:43 Alright. Final one. This is about Gates. Billionaire Bill Gates telling congress that Jeffrey Epstein was quote, working to use information about my infidelities

1:17:51 unquote to

1:17:53 pressure Gates to reengage with him after their business contact had ended, which sounds a lot to me like blackmail.

1:18:00 Gates told members of the house oversight committee he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. So why did the committee want to hear from Gates? Well, the Epstein files release revealed a degree of philanthropic coordination between Gates and Epstein that was more detailed than previously known plus

1:18:16 perhaps more importantly a series of graphic,

1:18:19 again unverified allegations.

1:18:21 One involved two draft emails

1:18:24 that Epstein appears to have written himself in 2013

1:18:27 claiming that he had facilitated sexual encounters for Gates and helped Gates obtain medication

1:18:33 to hide a sexually transmitted disease from his wife, his then wife. The allegations again unverified,

1:18:39 uncorroborated. There's no indication the message was ever shared with Gates, that message in the draft file, or anyone else, frankly. And Gates has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in any sort of criminal proceeding.

1:18:50 Gates

1:18:51 has strongly denied these claims, but he said today,

1:18:55 Epstein threatened unsuccessfully

1:18:56 to pressure him to use what he knew about his infidelities quote in addition to many lies that he layered on top.

1:19:03 Excuse me. To reengage

1:19:05 with Gates

1:19:06 after they had cut out he had cut off contact. Yeah.

1:19:09 So sounds like a big nothing,

1:19:11 this book. But see, you can I mean, who publishes this?

1:19:16 Well, you can look at it probably Simon and Schuster. So aren't they the CBS guys?

1:19:21 Simon and Schuster? I don't

1:19:24 I don't I don't keep track of it as well as I should.

1:19:27 It's just seems like, well, I I don't think there's anything good in this book because it Tapper would be all over it. It just is not there.

1:19:35 No. I think they I think you nailed it. This what what they just talked about is the book. Yeah.

1:19:41 So we got a boots on the ground feedback

1:19:45 about you calling the iPhone the Antichrist.

1:19:49 Oh, yeah.

1:19:50 Which was a was a nice note from Ed.

1:19:54 And

1:19:55 Ed says And the and the funny thing is the note just caught on fire after you read it. Is that my not mistaken?

1:20:01 Poof.

1:20:03 Finally, I can contribute some knowledge value to the show. During the opening of the show, John started talking about how the iPhone is the antichrist.

1:20:10 Well, I do sales for Frito Lay and I see people staring at their phone all the time while in the grocery store.

1:20:17 What they are doing is a form of digital shopping. It's either Instacart or the store's own shopping app. They look like phone zombies. I see this all day during my work week.

1:20:28 Thank you for your attention to this matter. So people are on the shopping app while they're shopping?

1:20:35 Just I've seen this before. You go shot you're in the grocery store and there's this guys

1:20:40 they're shot usually men.

1:20:42 There's some women too, but mostly men. They they they grab a product, they look at it, and then they use Google buys or something and they they take a picture and see if the price is okay,

1:20:53 to see if they can get a better deal at the next store. I don't know what what the point is.

1:20:59 Well, this, this leads into a story that I picked up from KTLA

1:21:04 and I looked into the study that is mentioned.

1:21:07 Birth rates in The United States and elsewhere

1:21:10 started falling in the year 2007.

1:21:12 That is the same year that Apple introduced

1:21:16 the iPhone.

1:21:18 There a connection? Well,

1:21:20 research is suggesting,

1:21:22 yeah, that could be the case. So up till now, the most frequently

1:21:27 cited culprits for falling fertility rates were contraception use,

1:21:31 abortions,

1:21:32 and the rising levels of female education.

1:21:35 Now attention is turning to the smartphone.

1:21:38 Recently published findings indicate that as much as half of the fertility decline from 2007

1:21:43 to 2011 when the iPhone was exclusive to the AT and T network could be attributed

1:21:49 to the arrival of Apple's ground baking ground breaking gadget.

1:21:53 What? What? Ground breaking gadget. By the way, should mention,

1:21:57 this is almost the identical story that ran on KGO locally.

1:22:01 Well, it comes from a It's all over the country. Yes. The National Bureau of Economic Research,

1:22:08 they have a study which they published,

1:22:11 but it's not peer reviewed, it's pre publication.

1:22:15 So you know what that means.

1:22:17 The claim is the iPhone rollout explains the 33 to ding

1:22:22 to fifty two percent of the 02/2011

1:22:26 US fertility

1:22:28 rate decline,

1:22:29 quote as much as half kind of.

1:22:33 Biggest effect on young on the young births births on the young births fell to five point eight five point four point five to eight percent ages 15 to 19. Wow. 15 year olds. And three point two to six point six percent ages 20 24. However,

1:22:47 this is really what they say was the mechanism.

1:22:50 Less in person interaction,

1:22:52 sounds true,

1:22:54 more pornography

1:22:56 and less sexual frequency.

1:22:58 I don't think you need a study to come up with those results, we could have told you that.

1:23:04 Now you need to play the your women clip,

1:23:06 your whatever girls.

1:23:09 Yeah. Let's play this. This is the some some questions of the whatever girls.

1:23:14 Name three countries besides The USA. Just Africa. Next Asia.

1:23:18 I can't even think of a third one. I don't know.

1:23:22 How many continents are there?

1:23:24 Six.

1:23:26 Six?

1:23:27 Name one

1:23:28 continent. Do I need to answer? Yep. Oh my can you just skip me first? Well, how about this? Let me help. I'll give a hint. You're from which country? China. Which is where?

1:23:40 West West I don't know. West Coast?

1:23:42 East?

1:23:43 China is in which continent?

1:23:46 Oh.

1:23:47 Because you're from China. Uh-huh. China's from which continent? East Asia or Just give it to her, bro. What country is directly North of Mexico,

1:23:56 Chloe?

1:23:57 North

1:23:58 North is up or down? I just was I'm confused with the North South thing. Well, on the map, with your finger is north what direction is north and what direction is south? I don't know why that's always been so confusing to me. Like, I'm sorry. I thought stupid. Well, so the problem is not the kids who weren't born, it's the ones who were born.

1:24:18 That's

1:24:20 the problem we have here.

1:24:22 Wow. That's so sad. Again, that's that's a national I'm security taking the side of these women.

1:24:28 Okay.

1:24:30 What it's

1:24:32 arbitrary.

1:24:33 What if you if you change the axis of the globe,

1:24:36 I mean, what's north and what what why is it north called north? Why is it not south?

1:24:41 And when the when the when the poles shift,

1:24:44 what happens then? Are you gonna call North south?

1:24:47 Okay. And and what is up and down? South isn't down. That's down. You're you're pointing to the center of the earth.

1:24:54 Up isn't your north isn't up. That's the that's the satellite you're gonna hit with that finger.

1:25:01 Do you want I I so I I I think a lot of this is just arbitrary. Are you looking Yeah. You can make anybody look like an idiot. Are you looking for a cameo on the whatever girls podcast? I'm sure you can I'm sure it can be arranged.

1:25:13 It'd be great. Just cough and hack a lock in the I'm just saying.

1:25:18 So the controversy over Bill Pulte continues. The Democrats in

1:25:23 Yeah. I have a clip too. In the senate now have a they've come up with a gambit. I know what we're gonna do. We're gonna not extend

1:25:32 section seven zero two where you can spy on everybody. Okay. And then FISA, that is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance I'm well familiar with it. I know you are too. So

1:25:41 it's been under threat of expiring many, many times, but now it's actually seems to be happening. And Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house, is going to the White House today to talk about it. He spoke a little bit on the floor yesterday. Watch here. You you cannot play politics with the security of the American people. I am praying that they come to their senses and that the senate can work this out and we move forward and we do not let this critical national security tool,

1:26:05 expire.

1:26:06 So apparently, of the democrats' big issues is that the acting director of national intelligence right now is Bill Pulte. Do you think the president should pull him? Pull think the president

1:26:16 probably

1:26:17 is in the process, Dana, of determining

1:26:20 the This is senator Thune.

1:26:22 Who the long term per person would be to fill that position. And I think that's gonna be an important

1:26:28 decision and one that will probably be determinative in whether or not democrats support this. But the the here's the issue. This is an irresponsible

1:26:35 position

1:26:36 for the senate democrats to take. The, seven zero two program. First off, you had, you know, it was the, you know, air control issues, then it was the border security issues, sanctuary cities. This is a party of defund the police, open borders, sanctuary cities,

1:26:51 and now now

1:26:53 shutting down one of the most important tools we have to keep people in this country safe. Yeah. And this thing goes dark at midnight on Friday.

1:27:00 And what you heard the speaker say yesterday is absolutely right. This is an absolutely irresponsible

1:27:05 position for the Democrats to take and one that puts at risk and in jeopardy,

1:27:10 the American people if this particular program goes dark. Are you able to if if there's some resolution today, do you have enough time to prevent it from going dark? It'd be hard. I mean, you know, the senate the the the procedure on the floor, but if we could get cooperation, yes. I mean, obviously, it requires cooperation, but that is the goal, and hopefully, Democrats will come to their senses because this is you cannot

1:27:30 you cannot take these risks. Now I think it's good. Let it go dark.

1:27:34 Wait. What what was what

1:27:37 was 702

1:27:38 before

1:27:39 the 09:11?

1:27:41 It I don't think it existed.

1:27:43 Well, then how did we get by?

1:27:45 Well, we didn't How was it possible that we got by? We didn't. 09:11, fool.

1:27:50 That's why we had all of this stuff, because 09:11, because, because 09:11, Patriodact, because 09:11.

1:27:57 Yeah. We got the way we're

1:27:59 I'm surprised

1:28:00 Thune or Johnson didn't say that. Well, you want another 911?

1:28:06 In section save that for the end.

1:28:09 Yeah. Well, he didn't say it at the end. Section seven zero two. No. You save it for the end if it they they can't get it to work. Can't if they can't get it through, you gotta

1:28:16 Oh. Oh. So that that'll be okay. But it's tomorrow. Tomorrow midnight, this goes dark.

1:28:22 It goes dark.

1:28:24 It's like like, oh, the tool isn't gone.

1:28:28 The tool is still there. You can still use it.

1:28:32 It's, you know,

1:28:35 we know from It's just not a surveillance state, and they do a crappy job with it. It hasn't done anything.

1:28:42 No. It's just for political purposes. They get the Yeah. Can try

1:28:46 Spy Spy on other campaigns. Yes. That's that's what did you said you had a clip on this? No. I don't. I'm sorry. I had I thought I did. Okay.

1:28:54 But I do have a clip, of the pope

1:28:56 Ugh. In the airplane. Have you heard this? No. I've not heard about the pope on the airplane. Here we go. Pope Leo joined the crew aboard his flight to Barcelona today. The pontiff took the cockpit jump seat and chatted with the pilots after taking off from Madrid. Then he put on headphones and started chatting with the air force fighter pilot escorting his plane. The pope's been in Spain all week for an historic visit.

1:29:19 No. I had not heard that story. It's kinda funny. I like the the lighting of the Sagrada Familia.

1:29:25 Did you see that? That looked pretty cool. Happened? Well, that's the big church that Gaudi, you know, started building, you know, that's been under construction for what? Yeah. The one in Barcelona. Yeah. An eighty years. How long has that thing been? Longer? Long time. I think I think it's over a 100 Over a So 100

1:29:42 they kind of said it's complete, although I don't know if it's ever It's complete?

1:29:46 They lit it up, man. They lit it up. They had Well, I'm sure it looks great lit up. Phenomenal.

1:29:52 They had a it was a perfect light show. Pope was on hand. They had orchestras playing Have you been to that thing? Yeah. Tina and I went three

1:30:00 years ago.

1:30:01 Mhmm. It's fantastic.

1:30:03 I think it's kinda creepy.

1:30:05 Really?

1:30:06 When's the last time What? You

1:30:09 When did when did you last see it? I mean, it's About about eight years ago. Oh. I What difference does it make? A hundred years ago. Well,

1:30:17 be because when we went there three years ago, it was very it was pretty complete. It didn't inside, it doesn't feel creepy and outside, you know, it's interesting to look at. I think it looks I wasn't thinking of the inside being creepy. I think the whole thing is creepy.

1:30:30 Oh. Well, I

1:30:31 think it's kinda cool. It's a it's it's an architectural

1:30:35 wonder.

1:30:37 It's a marvel.

1:30:38 You have you have no appreciation for art. No. It's just that Gaudi stuff that that is

1:30:43 gruesome.

1:30:46 Okay. There's a bunch of Gaudi stuff all over the town. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a is that whole village?

1:30:52 We we went to that as well, the village where you build all Got all apartment these buildings. House oh, yeah. It a lot of apartment buildings. It all looks like goo.

1:31:01 There's a gooey look quality to it.

1:31:04 It's like you got something on your fingers and you hold it you open it, it's like a bunch of

1:31:08 was I thought it looks like a sand castle that you build where you drip sand, you know, you you dribble it on top and you make your little sand castle. So

1:31:19 big news in Europe.

1:31:22 First of all, the defense secretary John resigned saying you guys aren't serious about this. There's no money to defend The UK. British defense secretary John Healy has resigned from his position

1:31:34 in a dispute over spending on defense. In a letter posted on x, mister Healy accused mister government,

1:31:41 thus caused the prime minister of failing to provide the resources needed to defend the country.

1:31:46 John,

1:31:48 just a quick read there. Mister Healy, for months now, fighting for more spending

1:31:53 on defense.

1:31:55 Yeah. So, what we've heard is, as you mentioned, is very much the defense saying there isn't enough money going

1:32:01 into the armed forces here in The UK.

1:32:06 We have this defense spending review that was going to be published and will still be published. And the defense secretary quite simply saying

1:32:13 that the money needed for him to be able to remain in the job in good faith is not available. And it's quite as simple as that, he says. Of course, incredibly

1:32:23 damaging for Kia Stahmer as you might imagine. But this seems to be a matter of principle for the defense secretary

1:32:31 who has worked on this spending review, has worked out the money needed in order for the UK's armed forces to have the equipment they need, to have the training they need, and to have the right number of them as well with all these challenges,

1:32:47 facing,

1:32:48 the country and the world, as he put it. And he simply believes that the amount of money that is being made available is not enough, and so he has resigned on that point of principle. This is, these are the guys who are gonna defend everyone from Russia,

1:33:03 which they continue to say they're going to do without The United States. So, oh, we gotta ramp up our industrial our military industrial base.

1:33:12 And how's that working out for France and Germany? A joint Franco German fighter jet project championed by Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Mertz has failed to get off the ground. The, two,

1:33:24 leaders have agreed to scrap the deal.

1:33:27 Airbus and Dassault Aviation couldn't, it seems, set aside commercial rivalry and a project designed to help Europe,

1:33:33 rearm for a future without American support. Clearly,

1:33:37 there are vast repercussions on this decision. Let's bring in for some analysis on this,

1:33:41 Jeanette Suss, who's a research fellow at the study committee for Franco German relations. Jeanette, thanks very much for being with us here. We need your help on this one because looking at this from a neutral kind of perspective as I am, it would seem that there would need to be some kind of cooperation

1:33:58 between all parties

1:34:00 on this kind of project because of its overall importance to the whole continent of Europe. So why has this failed to take off? Yeah. Very good question. Thanks for having me. First of all, yeah, it's one of the biggest projects or even the biggest

1:34:15 project that was foreseen in the European

1:34:18 defense area. So everyone looked at France and Germany and Spain, of course, whether they would make it. But,

1:34:25 finally, the industrial rivalries were just too big. The project has been stalled for for years now, so it didn't really come as a surprise as such. Although there were mediation

1:34:38 efforts

1:34:39 being made even lately to, yeah, break

1:34:42 a compromise,

1:34:43 but this didn't go through. It seems a little bit depressing that these kind of interests

1:34:49 of a company get in the way of the the greater good, the global sort of need of of the whole of Europe. So they couldn't even get their companies to agree on this.

1:34:58 Say what you will of Trump, he fixes that stuff real quick.

1:35:01 Shut up. Shut up and make it.

1:35:04 So they've got nothing. They can't build a fighter jet.

1:35:08 Got nothing going on. They continue

1:35:10 to

1:35:11 poke Volodymyr

1:35:13 to blow up stuff in Russia.

1:35:18 It doesn't Yeah. It doesn't seem like that's going the way they want. Or maybe it's exactly what they want. That's possible too. Yeah. Maybe it's what they want.

1:35:25 So thank you thank Always. You everybody for the hundreds of emails about peptides.

1:35:29 It's highly

1:35:30 appreciated. Every

1:35:32 you know, whenever you get an email that is 2,000

1:35:36 words

1:35:37 telling you why it's good or why it's bad, it's like there's too much explaining going on.

1:35:43 And it seems like if you want this g it's now the new name is is called GLP three.

1:35:49 That's the that's the peptide everyone's talking about. That's the Retratude.

1:35:54 Can't get yeah. It's a horrible name. So unlike it's it's not a marketing name. I didn't get the clip, but you know, the GLP one is just a it's Gila monster,

1:36:03 poison. Yeah. Well, we talked about that at least It's a long time ago. Two years ago. It's coming around and it doesn't actually contain GLP one, but it contains Gila monster venom, which has a different medical name and that Extendin

1:36:18 four, I think. Yeah. And then and that triggers the g your own GLP one and it paralyzes your stomach and okay.

1:36:25 Yeah. And blind you. So your

1:36:27 eye rots.

1:36:29 It has what they call a black box warning, you know, which is to be ignored at all cost.

1:36:35 So my conclusion is if you work out and you wanna get ripped and you eat tons of protein,

1:36:41 you you you drink your protein shakes and you eat your beef, yeah, it's probably gonna make you look they call it the Wolverine.

1:36:48 The Wolverine peptide.

1:36:50 It makes you like a beast

1:36:52 and that's possible.

1:36:53 I'm sure it's good.

1:36:55 But I got this note from

1:36:57 Renee who is a

1:37:02 licensed therapist in Portland, Oregon and she wanted us to to know about the mental health industrial complex.

1:37:11 And I thought I'd share that because I thought it was quite good. I work for a large mental health company.

1:37:16 I've treated thousands of adult clients. I've noticed trends that I know originate from mental health content on social media.

1:37:23 This content persuades viewers to self diagnose and to pathologize and medicalize

1:37:28 normal human feeling states.

1:37:31 As in states of being, states of feeling.

1:37:33 Signs of stress become an anxiety disorder. Bad things happening becomes trauma.

1:37:38 Quirky personalities becomes autism.

1:37:41 Clients are 100% attached to their diagnoses because the diagnosis becomes their identity.

1:37:48 I thought this was good. The attitude is clear. Everyone must be diagnosed and medicated for the greater good. I see this across age groups, backgrounds, locations, politics, and genders. I hear clients scoff at a friend's unmedicated

1:38:02 child

1:38:03 or a mother-in-law with undiagnosed

1:38:06 ADHD.

1:38:08 Personality traits that fall outside the approved spectrum of acceptance are increasingly viewed with suspicion.

1:38:14 That's why everyone sounds like they're speaking in an HR meeting. I genuinely worry that at some point people may be coerced to accept the diagnosis and worse forced to be medicated.

1:38:24 Most of my clients are lifelong therapy consumers. They come in with on average three to four diagnosis

1:38:30 and many take two to five psychotropic

1:38:32 medications.

1:38:33 The diagnostic and medication

1:38:36 justifications are often completely unhinged.

1:38:39 I rarely see documentation of such symptoms that justify the diagnosis anymore and they're being medicated into outer space for it. Lately I've lately I feel like I'm treating anxiety and depression caused by the medications themselves. Yes, we've identified this. Hello. Which is not something talk therapy can meaningfully meaningfully treat.

1:38:59 These attitudes are readily visible on therapist Reddit.

1:39:03 I'm not familiar with therapist Reddit.

1:39:06 One thread about clients on the bipolar spectrum

1:39:09 is what made me reach out. The phrase bipolar spectrum

1:39:14 isn't even a thing, it's not in the DSM.

1:39:17 Once you introduce spectrum language,

1:39:20 talk talking a lot with a lot of confidence, optimism,

1:39:24 high energy, ambition and creativity

1:39:27 can all become symptoms requiring treatment.

1:39:30 Often a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic,

1:39:33 lithium is no joke.

1:39:35 So what is so if you're if you're confident, have optimism, high energy and ambition,

1:39:40 you clearly need to be medicated.

1:39:42 That's

1:39:45 great. What concerns me most are the responses.

1:39:49 Medication is first line. I'd start here. Meds, not therapy. And my favorite, are there children involved? Then you need to do a risk assessment. Look at the initial symptoms and tell me why they need to ask if children are involved.

1:40:02 And she winds up by saying, No Agenda really got me through the COVID years, I'm starting to post on ex Gen X underscore

1:40:09 therapists,

1:40:11 Renee.

1:40:12 I think that kind of sums it up.

1:40:15 And it's sad.

1:40:17 But yes,

1:40:18 we're on the we need a spectrum. We need to come up with our own spectrum.

1:40:22 No Agenda spectrum. No. Amygdal Amygdalus spectrum, something. We need come up with something. Well, we're on the topic of this sort of thing. Let's do a a couple of

1:40:31 screwball clips. I saved you and now you just do it again.

1:40:36 Is kind of along the similar lines, the what you just read. This is, again,

1:40:41 a the first time I've done a double with with Brett Weinstein.

1:40:45 Woah.

1:40:46 But this is a little discussion of COVID,

1:40:48 shots.

1:40:50 COVID shots. Let me ask you a question. If this is a four two minute and forty one second clip of Brett Weinstein?

1:40:57 If you if you think it's boring, you can say, well, you think he's boring, so I shouldn't have said that. No. It's okay. We'll listen we'll listen to Brett. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. Are you still getting COVID boosters?

1:41:06 No. You're not? Why not?

1:41:10 Well, I've already had COVID a couple times, so I have natural immunity at in natural immunity?

1:41:15 Well, after the the entire public health apparatus assured us that Wait a minute. Who is he talking to?

1:41:21 Who is he talking to? Some

1:41:23 one of his stooges that he has on his show every so often. Oh. A scientist

1:41:28 guy who's all in on the COVID shot. Natural immunity was not good enough and that you still got a benefit from Oh, hold on. The mac and cheese spectrum. That's what it is, John. I just saw that in the troll room. Gotta call it out. Mac and cheese spectrum. That's what we're doing.

1:41:43 Look look, Brett. They got many things wrong. You remember that moment in time? I do. I do remember people like me shouting about this? Yes. I do. Okay.

1:41:52 Now we find out from Paul Offit that all of the major players gathered together and privately understood the very same thing that they were gaslighting us over.

1:42:02 They understood that natural immunity was the best immunity that you were gonna come by and that a vaccine wasn't gonna augment it, and they decided to keep that to themselves in spite of the fact that these vaccines are built on a novel technology they didn't know the hazards of at best. So

1:42:19 how is it that these people can privately meet and decide

1:42:24 there's a whole swath,

1:42:26 millions of people, hundreds of millions of people who'd already had COVID, who didn't need to take any risk whatsoever from a novel vaccine. How is it that they get to privately decide to keep that information to themselves?

1:42:40 Okay. Why,

1:42:42 given that they did that, given that you remember the moment in history at which they were not only were they disagreeing

1:42:50 with us, which was a lie, they were gaslighting us. They were telling people like you that people like me were crazy. Who is the they and the them that he's referencing here? Fauci? The the he's talking about the the Fauci's and everybody who had the meeting that said that we're not gonna we're gonna downplay natural immunity and say it doesn't work. No. Is this is news? This is something that's new? No. No. It's just that I like the excitability.

1:43:15 It's not not to us. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Let's be realistic. Yeah. We're not gonna play anything that's news to us. True.

1:43:23 True. It's just that these guys, these these these Charlie come latelys or Johnny come latelys. Let me get the right thing. Come latelys.

1:43:31 The Charlie come latelys. What is this? Charlie come latelys

1:43:34 come in and they're all and and like Weinstein, I I put in that category, he's you know, he was on the right side of the argument, but then he's all bent out of shape because he's stunned.

1:43:44 He's stunned. There's gambling going on.

1:43:47 And you can stop playing that clip. And let's skip to another clip. Okay.

1:43:51 This is also long, you can stop playing at some point. Mhmm. This is Michael Yeaden.

1:43:56 This is a guy who worked for Pfizer. He's a Pfizer researcher, I think. Yeah. And he says and this, by the way, the only reason I wanna play this because this is something you suggested

1:44:07 on day one

1:44:09 of the COVID nineteen,

1:44:11 epidemic pandemic.

1:44:12 Epidemic.

1:44:14 Pandemic.

1:44:15 Screwballbemic.

1:44:16 Yeah. There has not been a pandemic. Dennis Rancourt's

1:44:19 data shows that the all cause mortality

1:44:22 data did not increase at all in the run up to the declaration fraudulently

1:44:28 by WHO of a pandemic. There is no public health emergency except that created by our governments.

1:44:35 A inappropriate,

1:44:37 fraudulent

1:44:38 PCR test was used to give people the impression that they had a particular disease where they didn't.

1:44:44 They were all normal diseases.

1:44:46 And then what happened was in three different ways people were treated badly

1:44:51 through changed medical procedures

1:44:53 that were imposed above the level of nation,

1:44:57 briefly

1:44:58 mass ventilation

1:44:59 of people inappropriately in hospitals that led to lots of tests.

1:45:04 In care homes,

1:45:06 many people were given sedatives and respiratory depressants which led to their deaths. My PhD was specifically in that area of opiates and respiratory depression,

1:45:16 and in the community people were denied

1:45:18 life saving antibiotics

1:45:21 and died of bacterial pneumonia.

1:45:24 There's your pandemic.

1:45:25 There is no other pandemic.

1:45:27 And based on this lie,

1:45:30 we were told that vaccines were coming our way and would be our savior.

1:45:35 You mean this was the testing

1:45:37 piece, the PCR? Is that what you're referring to?

1:45:40 No. The fact that there's no pandemic. There was no pandemic ever. This is the thing we once in a while still bring up the fact that for some curious reason, there was not one flu death

1:45:52 and no cases of the flu that one year. Ever.

1:45:55 Yeah. It was amazing.

1:45:57 So his theory is there was no pandemic. The whole thing was a fake. Yes. And it was, like, just exaggerated by the phony baloney PCR test

1:46:05 Yep. To make it look like there was more going on than there was. And I and I think that's backed up by the my thoughts on the, the the the ambulances in front of the hospital that show up on the nightly news, but weren't there three hours later when a YouTuber goes by. Yep.

1:46:23 And it just, you know, it's just one of those clips is they're starting to come out now. Yeah. Yeah. All in hindsight. And it won't mean anything.

1:46:30 Of course it won't.

1:46:32 Let's talk about the Jews for a second. I have a couple of Jew clips.

1:46:37 In particular, Israel.

1:46:40 The great one, your boy.

1:46:44 Mark Levin? Yes. Your boy. The great one. Mark Levin. Hello,

1:46:49 America. I was waiting for your cue. He's very he's very upset with the president. He's upset with the president for yelling at BB. I don't know why the president of The United States feels the need to keep going to left wing reporters

1:47:02 and talking about

1:47:04 confidential

1:47:05 conversations he has with the prime minister of Israel.

1:47:08 And I don't know why he keeps bashing the prime minister of Israel. Bashing? He's trying to protect his country and his own people. Just a few weeks ago, their fighter jets were fighting right alongside ours.

1:47:19 The Mossad was working with the CIA,

1:47:22 and, of course, the prime minister was working with the president in what was a spectacular

1:47:26 military operation.

1:47:28 I know the president is deeply desperate for a deal. The Iranians know he's deeply desperate for a deal. The whole world knows he's deeply desperate for a deal. Got it. And Israel's told it can only fight a defensive war, and Israel's told to stay away from Beirut even though the the head of the snake is right outside of Beirut. The hypocrisy

1:47:46 of our country that wouldn't put up with it in the treatment of that country is ridiculous.

1:47:52 In fact,

1:47:53 we don't ask any other country to do that. None.

1:47:57 So why the constant beating up of Netanyahu?

1:47:59 In fact, there was an announcement from the White House last night saying we had nothing to do with this. Our our military is not involved. And I commented,

1:48:08 well, that's nothing to be proud of. So Mark Levine is not happy with how this is going.

1:48:13 Not happy the president is bashing Beebe.

1:48:17 But the interesting thing that popped up,

1:48:20 and I think Marjorie Taylor Greene and I kept hearing about people saying, even here the the ladies of Fredericksburg on the text group.

1:48:30 I think Tina asked me, he said,

1:48:32 is is America going to integrate

1:48:35 its army, its military with the with the Israeli military?

1:48:40 Like,

1:48:41 What?

1:48:42 Have you heard have you heard this this talk? Yeah. I have. So this is about section two two four of the National Defense Authorization

1:48:51 Act,

1:48:52 which

1:48:53 is always fun. But there's there's a lot of different stuff

1:48:57 in here that is worth talking

1:49:00 about. Now, very hard to get a straight

1:49:03 read of two two four, what's really in it. I was only able to find one

1:49:08 w I o n,

1:49:10 which is, comes with the,

1:49:13 appropriate

1:49:14 Indian accent, but at least the the information is correct. Alright. So moving on, a new provision in US House version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act released earlier this week is now drawing attention for its potential implications

1:49:27 for US Israeli defense stars.

1:49:30 According to a report by responsible states crafts, a provision in the act known as Section two twenty four, it lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development,

1:49:39 co production of weapons, joint ventures,

1:49:42 licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U. And Israeli military industrial complex cooperation.

1:49:48 This provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech,

1:49:54 including AI, quantum,

1:49:55 autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech and many more. It also proposes network integration and data fusion. In other words, the reports address that US military's data could soon be the Israeli military's data.

1:50:09 So

1:50:11 it's an integration

1:50:12 of technology

1:50:14 and data.

1:50:16 And, of course, the likely suspects, Massey and Kahana,

1:50:19 are trying to get it out. We can't have this. We can't integrate these militaries. Mister Thomas Massey yesterday stated, if the provision to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would basically integrate The US and Israeli militaries

1:50:31 goes through. See, I love I love how those they don't just essentially just integrate them. They're one. It's the one and the same. I'll offer an amendment to strip it off, to strip it from the bill on the floor. Thomas, Ro Khanna then responded to that today and stated, I will be offering an amendment in the committee itself

1:50:49 to strict to strip section two two four out, Thomas Massey.

1:50:53 Trump can't kill the Massey Khanna partnership no matter how much he posts on truth social. Oh, yeah. The Massey Kahana partnership. Let's find out what this really is about because it's kind of interesting. The US and Israel have a ten year defense agreement ending in fiscal year twenty twenty eight. The US committed 3,300,000,000

1:51:10 per year in foreign military financing grants, plus 500,000,000

1:51:15 for missile defense cooperation.

1:51:17 That's $38,000,000,000

1:51:18 total. Yeah. Over ten years. We have financially supported Israel since 1949.

1:51:23 What began mostly as economic aid has become over time a heavily military relationship. The fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act section two two four would create a lead office inside the Pentagon to synchronize US Israel cooperation

1:51:37 across AI, quantum computing, cyber defense network integration, and data fusion.

1:51:41 To be clear, integration and defense technology does not equal a literal merger of armed forces. In my opinion, it's nearly as bad, maybe worse. So let me explain. There are two older bills both called The United States Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025,

1:51:55 which have been sitting in committee since February 2025 with over 200 combined cosponsors.

1:52:01 The same policy concepts now appear in the must pass NDAA process.

1:52:05 So

1:52:06 the idea is to I guess the 3,300,000,000,

1:52:11 which is the money we're giving to Israel that people have their panties and a bunch over, which they need to spend on our military stuff,

1:52:19 is coming to an end in 2028.

1:52:22 So this, of course, needs to be needs to be rejiggered so we can't, you know, lose $3,300,000,000

1:52:28 for the military industrial complex.

1:52:31 So they decided to do it a different way to end that which I think is cosmetic. Well, oh, we're not giving money to Israel anymore

1:52:37 And I'm against this, this section,

1:52:41 two two four, but for different reasons, and it's in this clip. Steven Simon from the Quincy Institute published a brief this month. His brief is a warning. The next phase of US Israel defense support may become less visible.

1:52:53 The current agreement, about 25% of the annual $3,300,000,000

1:52:57 grant, roughly 825,000,000

1:52:59 a year, could be spent by Israel inside its own defense industry,

1:53:03 but that bases down to zero by f y twenty twenty eight. Simon's warning is that instead of simply ending that support, the relationship would be reorganized.

1:53:13 Israeli firms and Israeli origin technology would become more embedded inside US defense procurement, coproduction,

1:53:20 research and development, licensing,

1:53:22 sustainment programs. Plain English, the aid check could disappear from public view while the financial support continues via Pentagon budget and procurement systems that are much harder for the public to track. Foreign military financing is visible. We can see when it's debated in congress. We can see when it's budgeted. And because it's foreign aid, lawmakers can ask questions about conditions, accountability,

1:53:42 and whether the support should continue.

1:53:44 Pentagon procurement is different. It runs through weapons contracts, production lines, research programs, and coproduction agreements.

1:53:51 The language is not diplomacy or human rights. It's readiness,

1:53:55 capability, and whether a system supports the US military.

1:53:59 What we have right now, which is a foreign aid package, can be used as leverage over

1:54:05 their conduct.

1:54:06 A coproduction contract is treated more like a business arrangement. If the partner company delivers the system, meets the contract terms, and supports the mission,

1:54:15 the contract has done what it was designed to do.

1:54:18 That's a major oversight gap.

1:54:20 Simon's conclusion is blunt. Quieter does not mean smaller.

1:54:24 The financial flows could be as large as or larger than the current grant.

1:54:30 They just will not look like aid.

1:54:32 Once these programs are embedded in production lines, US contractors, workers, supply chain become part of the argument to keep them going.

1:54:40 Simon's point,

1:54:41 the support may not disappear. It may move into a less visible system that is harder for the public to track. Yeah. So I'm not against the integration of the technologies and all that but no. The Pentagon needs to pass an audit before we can do anything with that.

1:54:58 That's a that's a hole. It's a black hole.

1:55:02 It'll cost us much much more.

1:55:04 Yeah. This is typical.

1:55:05 Where's the audit? Yeah. They should where's that is even a theme? Why isn't Massey even mentioning it? Yes. Does he? Thank you. No. Of course not. Big talker blah blah blah. What about the audit, dork?

1:55:20 Yeah.

1:55:22 Yeah. That's why I'm against it.

1:55:24 Stop that nonsense.

1:55:27 Although, you know, supposedly it's all better now. Hagest got his finger on the on the pulse. So Hagest.

1:55:33 Got he's got his finger on the pulse. He's gonna take care of all of it for us.

1:55:38 And then Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Oh, go ahead. I would play a clip that's kind of fun.

1:55:44 This is a

1:55:47 out of New York.

1:55:49 They're really making headway there in New York, state.

1:55:53 Have you heard about the gestating parents?

1:55:56 Gestating parents?

1:55:58 No. Definitions in New York state,

1:56:01 actually. New York Democrats argue the words mother and father are outdated

1:56:06 and need to be replaced with more inclusive terms under state law. All that's needed now is governor Kathy Hochul's signature. So if Hochul approves in New York's family court and in domestic and education law, a mother

1:56:18 would be labeled as a gestating parent, a father as a non gestating parent, and paternity proceedings to determine the child's father would be called parentage proceedings.

1:56:28 The bill passed the state senate this week in the state assembly back in March. Governor Hochul proudly calls herself New York's first mom governor.

1:56:37 No. Gest dating governor.

1:56:39 She can't she can't be a mom governor. She has to be the chief She's a gestating governor. Governor. Yeah. Yeah. I I heard about that. To me, exemplifies

1:56:47 that it doesn't make a big difference whether Spencer

1:56:51 wins or loses the mayoral

1:56:54 spot in LA because the city council in LA and the same as San Francisco,

1:56:59 they're all nuts.

1:57:00 Yeah. They are.

1:57:02 And you have the same thing at with at the state level,

1:57:05 the legislative body in New York and California

1:57:09 are nuts.

1:57:10 Yeah.

1:57:11 They are.

1:57:12 And what are you gonna do about it? Nothing. Keep podcasting.

1:57:15 Keep on going. We can do it. You keep podcasting. I wanna hear I wanna hear the Nick Reiner story before we take a break here. What what Yeah. Yeah. Play this. This Nick Reiner needs money. New court documents tonight reveal a high stakes fight in the case against Nick Reiner. He's the 32 year old son of actor and director Rob Reiner who's accused of killing his parents last December. Reiner wants a judge to order the release of money from his trust fund. National correspondent Carter Evans is here to explain how that fund might be used for his defense. Carter?

1:57:47 Well, good evening, Matt. Nick Reiner's trust fund is worth an estimated 1 and a half million dollars, and today his legal team filed a petition requesting

1:57:55 access to that money. Now Reiner's attorneys argue he was entitled to receive half of the trust when he turned 30, but that never happened. Reiner is now 32.

1:58:04 In the court filing, Reiner's attorneys say the trustee who manages the fund knew the payout payout was never made but is still refusing to release the money, citing concerns regarding Nick's capacity to make sound decisions.

1:58:16 Now Reiner says he needs the money to help pay for his legal defense in his murder trial and to fund his commissary account while he's in prison. The newly filed petition suggests money may have already played a role in the defense. High profile defense attorney Alan Jackson initially represented Reiner but withdrew from the case, and the documents reveal Reiner sought trust distributions to potentially bring Jackson back onto the case. Reiner is currently represented by a public defender. A judge will now decide whether the money must be released and if so, under what conditions.

1:58:49 Poor guy.

1:58:52 He's nuts.

1:58:54 Yeah. Obviously. Fund his commissary accounts. A $100 a month.

1:58:58 Let's

1:59:00 just talk about Plattner before we go because I find this to be kind of a Yeah. Plattner got in he breezed

1:59:05 in. Plattner, of course, is the is the guy the right wing loves to hate and he's, got a Nazi tattoo and he beats his wives or beats his women. He's he's Locks them up. He teases. He's a mean Sexter. Beehole, and he's got a lot of Reddit posts that are no good. Yeah. No good. No good.

1:59:24 Do you have a clip? Yeah. Plattner. Many Maine voters told us today they were willing to look past Graham Plattner's controversies if it would help Democrats win back power in Washington. I think it's so important

1:59:37 that the Democrats capture this senate seat that I'm willing to vote for a candidate, whom,

1:59:43 I think is quite imperfect. Plattner himself did some last minute door knocking, continuing to make his case after allegations from several former girlfriends appeared in The New York Times, accusing him of unsettling and toxic behavior.

1:59:58 One alleged he grabbed her and left marks. There are some allegations in this piece that I just wanna be kind of unequivocal about are simply not true. Plattner, an oyster farmer and marine veteran, has acknowledged he sent sexually explicit text messages to other women early in his marriage. His wife has defended him, and the two appear in a campaign video released today. Just last night, his former political director warned that Plattner should not be a US senator, writing he exhibits a pattern of dishonest behavior that's impossible to ignore. Oh. Plattner is still expected to win tonight, but with control of the US senate on the line in November, the questions about his past could be a liability as he tries to take out the veteran republican Susan Collins.

2:00:44 Plattner has caught fire among progressives here who say they want a senator who can buck president Trump. Bernie Sanders is Plattner's supporter,

2:00:52 and he said this week that despite the controversies,

2:00:56 he'll do everything he can to help Plattner get elected.

2:01:00 Alright.

2:01:01 Well,

2:01:03 David Brooks was not happy with Plattner.

2:01:06 He had this to say about him. Some people are dismissing this as politically motivated.

2:01:11 How are you looking at all this? Some of guys are moral degenerate.

2:01:14 You know, he the the abuse of women, the sexting, the Nazi tattoo. I don't even need to say anything beyond his Reddit posts, which are not in the past, by the way. He he did that for a long time, abusing

2:01:26 rape people who had might have been raped, diminishing rape in the military, insulting fellow military officers, calling himself a communist. It's just it's a pathetic empty guy who postures

2:01:37 in a way that's kinda repulsive. There are 330,000,000

2:01:41 Americans, and there are 100 senators. We can't have a decent human being in those 100? Like, we've gotta we've gonna settle for this?

2:01:48 You know, I just think the people the Democrats are supporting Plattner for the same reason that Trump people are supporting Trump. Oh, okay. There it is. And I hate to do this, but no show is complete without a clip from The View. At the tone, a clip from The View will be played.

2:02:02 Shelter in place.

2:02:05 Controversial Democratic senate candidate Graham Platter won the primary yesterday in Maine,

2:02:11 which could help his party take the senate. But with

2:02:14 new allegations of inappropriate behavior against him and his former campaign manager publicly pulling her support for him. People are split on the baggage he's bringing into this general election. As an independent, when partisanship rules the day and it stops being about people, he'll lose me every time. We have literally witnessed some of the most disgusting humans rising in power handed over by voters, and you are telling me we're gonna put another person up and turn our faces at the human he's shown us he is, and it has nothing to do with his marital discrepancies.

2:02:47 I honestly, in this day and age, don't care. Yeah. That's personal to me. That Nazi tattoo that he supposedly has covered up and said he didn't know what it meant, but many ex girlfriends said he used to proudly call it what it is, a totem cuff, which is a Nazi symbol. Yeah. He has shown us who he is. This was the party of me too. Women have made accusations. He has they have not been proven yet, but weren't we supposed to listen and hear them? The the numbers of anti Semitic hate, and this guy wore proudly wore a tattoo for years.

2:03:17 And we're gonna say, well, this time, because we might agree with this policy, we can turn our heads. I cannot turn my head, Susan. Look. I don't think Republicans at this point can ask us to take the moral high ground. There you go. That is over. There you go. There you go. That is over. That's right. I am sorry.

2:03:33 Democrats have always fallen in love, and Republicans have always fallen in line. That It's time for Democrats to stop that nonsense, put emotions on the side. Let's be strategic.

2:03:43 Let's get some power. Yeah. Let's take over the senate. Let's take over the house. There's a guy who's right the ship. Let's get our country back. I am sorry. I am someone that believes in character. I am someone that believes that morals matter. But not now. Because of the state of this country, I would. If I lived in Maine, I would hold my nose and I would vote for plat Yeah. For platner. That's right.

2:04:07 Is what? Totem cough? Is that what they called it? The Totem cough. Like c o u g h? No. No. Cop. Yeah. Head.

2:04:16 Totem cough. Oh, Totem cough. Like sheist cough. I like Totem cough myself as a show title.

2:04:23 No. Totem cough.

2:04:24 Okay.

2:04:26 Breaking news. Breaking news.

2:04:28 The deal could be signed this weekend.

2:04:31 No. There goes the market. No.

2:04:33 Actually, at oil is down almost 5% right now. It's 86.

2:04:39 That's what you want. Yeah. Yeah. But Yeah. And then the market, stock market is skyrocketing. Yeah. What do you mean? Oh, you meant I thought you meant it was bad. No. The the Dow Jones nine twenty nine up Nasdaq up six forty. It's primed for Elon. It's beautiful.

2:04:54 It's gonna be beautiful. Tomorrow's gonna be fantastic.

2:04:57 Can't wait to see. For Elon? Yeah. For well, yeah. For Elon. What? Tell me, you don't have friends and family stock?

2:05:04 Not for that.

2:05:06 No.

2:05:08 And apparently the president has nominated

2:05:11 Jay Clayton to be the director of national intelligence.

2:05:15 So I don't know, that seems a little quick. I thought I thought Pulte had some business to take care of. Well, maybe he already did. We'll

2:05:23 have to see.

2:05:25 So I have one last clip I'll play,

2:05:29 which is a I'm I'm thinking of making this a,

2:05:33 like a segment. An item, a segment. Yes. We need a jingle.

2:05:37 And this is about and the the segment is what I'm gonna call First World Problems.

2:05:43 Oh, wait. I thought we had a oh, no. That you had a segment before, which is that didn't happen.

2:05:50 Well, that didn't happen is different than first world problems. But you've you've never followed up. So, okay. Well, well, we need a jingle Well, I mean, I I can add that too, but I haven't been able to find enough that didn't happen. So I think I can find plenty of these. Okay. You do you want the on the fly jingle?

2:06:09 First? Yeah. Sure. World

2:06:12 problems.

2:06:14 Gotta start fighting back against these coffee shops. I got a coffee yesterday.

2:06:17 I got an ice I got a latte.

2:06:20 It was an extra 50¢ to add ice.

2:06:23 That should be illegal. I'm sorry. You're a coffee shop. Coffee comes ice sometimes. Don't charge me 50¢ for it. I got an extra dollar to add vanilla. I I know they didn't make that in house. I know that's a bottle of Monin or whatever it's it is it's called. They charged me a dollar for almond milk. In the year of 2026, alternative milk should not be a dollar more. It shouldn't be any upcharge at all, but it certainly should not be a dollar because your dairy milk should not be the cheapest shit you could find at the store.

2:06:48 So all in all, $8.50 for my iced vanilla latte. That was not exceptional in any way. $8.50

2:06:55 for my iced vanilla latte with a tip, so $9.50.

2:07:00 $9.50 for an iced vanilla latte. I made I made a better one this morning at my house with my Nespresso.

2:07:07 These coffee shops are out of control.

2:07:09 Out out out out out of control. The

2:07:12 is the generation that says they have not ever witnessed prosperity like their parents?

2:07:19 Yeah.

2:07:21 Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll get a jingle. You should bring more of those. In the meantime I I think there's plenty to be had. I I think you're right. People in these mundane banal complaints about the price of a of a ice mocha vanilla

2:07:36 Latte. Latte. Almond latte.

2:07:38 And with that,

2:07:39 I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the c in Charlie come lately. Say hello to my friend on the other end. The one, the only, mister John

2:07:49 C.

2:07:50 Dvorak.

2:07:51 Well, in the morning to you, mister Adam Curry. In the morning, all the ships at sea, boots at the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, the Dame's a nice Oh, I'm missing all the noise makers. That's too bad we don't have those. Thirteen

2:08:03 nineteen today on the troll count who are listening live at noagendastream.com

2:08:08 or using one of the modern podcast apps. Turns out that the number two most used app for this podcast, there was a survey done recently over at livewire.io.

2:08:19 So number one is Apple legacy app with about 30%.

2:08:23 Number two is Podverse.

2:08:25 That's quite that's quite extraordinary

2:08:28 that,

2:08:30 you know, we have been promoting the alternative and modern podcast apps and people are actually using it. And the reason why, well, there's two that I can think of besides transcripts, chapters,

2:08:40 location,

2:08:42 people tag, all kinds of cool stuff.

2:08:45 Did you just what did you what was that sound you made?

2:08:49 Oh, you're slurping. Stop slurping.

2:08:52 The benefits

2:08:53 within ninety seconds of publishing the podcast that will show up in your modern podcast app through the Podfing technology.

2:08:59 Is something that you will Podfing. Now get with the legacy apps. And when we go live, we fire off the bat signal and you will be able to listen to the live broadcast in your podcast app. This is something that is just not available anywhere else. I don't think they're ever gonna do it. I don't know why.

2:09:16 Because they would capture so much, but that's fine. We're happy to do it with our modern podcast apps, podcastapps.com.

2:09:22 We are Value4Value here at the No Agenda show.

2:09:26 Soon to be celebrating our nineteenth anniversary

2:09:29 in October

2:09:30 and we have never had an ad, we've never taken corporate money, we've never put you on subscriptions that you can't get off of. All we've said is if you get value out of the show for any reason, you laughed, you cried, you got mad, you learned something, got a stock tip,

2:09:46 felt smarter about yourself, felt better about yourself, had something to talk about at the water cooler where you were informed,

2:09:53 just send the value back to us any way that you want to, time, talent or treasure. We love the boots on the ground, we love the expert and we have best and the most producers of any podcast, probably any media property in the universe at all because we do this collectively.

2:10:09 And by the same token, we also need the treasure because we need to be able to pay the bills.

2:10:14 And one way that people always like to help out is by giving us some artwork to use for

2:10:20 our album art. We've been changing that for gosh since almost since the beginning.

2:10:25 We've been putting

2:10:27 different art into our into our podcast.

2:10:30 And once again,

2:10:32 the artwork

2:10:33 came not just as artwork but we knew that when we chose it, it would be accompanied by a video.

2:10:39 We congratulate

2:10:40 Francisco

2:10:41 Scatamanga

2:10:42 for bringing us the Spank the Press art,

2:10:46 which a lot of people liked and I knew it, I knew he would do a video and he did not disappoint. Did you see the video? Mhmm. It was good.

2:10:54 Yeah. There's spanking the press.

2:10:56 Spanking the press is a good thing. I I really and I think I even said if he doesn't do a video, we're never choosing him again.

2:11:04 Did not say that, but it's a funny it's a good threat. What you said was

2:11:09 if he keeps doing videos,

2:11:12 we're gonna not pick anybody else unless they start doing videos too. That's what I said. Yes. Thank you for reminding me. That's right. Because the videos is cool. Everybody can do them and it gives extra extra bonus points for the show. It's great.

2:11:26 There are a couple other

2:11:28 pieces of art that we look like. A lot of screwworm art. I liked Blue Acorn screwworm. You thought it was too gruesome.

2:11:35 Mhmm. You didn't want that one.

2:11:38 Ryan m Scott spammed

2:11:40 the art generator, noagendaartgenerator.com.

2:11:44 Then there was Harvey Weinstein spanking the press, no.

2:11:49 Lot of big boobs

2:11:51 with tomahawks,

2:11:53 no.

2:11:56 The devil phone, Matthew Dropko, he had the right idea, not a great execution.

2:12:01 I personally, I kind of like the, the back rooms. You you thought it was nothing. It was the

2:12:07 it was a takeoff on the movie

2:12:09 that we talked about. Oh, yeah. I didn't like that at all. You didn't like that? Well, I hadn't seen the movie and I thought it was

2:12:16 good. It was good. You no. You had the thesis. You said, are the young the young the kids them kids are gonna see that and they're gonna think we're hip. That's exactly how I talked about it.

2:12:27 Then there was

2:12:29 the boobs calculator? I know you used it for the newsletter. Was that part of this run as well?

2:12:36 The speak and spell?

2:12:37 I think it was. Oh, no. No. Was that the previous?

2:12:41 I'm

2:12:42 not sure. We get so much I think it the previous because you Yeah. Yeah. We get a lot of art. And I don't know if we have the one we'll pick yet. So there's plenty of time for you to upload to noagendaartgenerator.com.

2:12:55 We love going through it. It also shows us the the things that hit during the show, gives us a good idea of what people like hearing and we appreciate all of the work, the prompting that everybody does.

2:13:08 And now for the talent portion

2:13:10 or the I'm sorry, the treasure portion of Time Talents and Treasure, which you can support the show by going to noagendadonations.com.

2:13:17 And it can be any amount. We love the

2:13:21 numerology of it. Love that when people just come up with something crazy. We've had a lot over the over the years.

2:13:29 And we start

2:13:30 with John from Meridianville,

2:13:33 Alabama,

2:13:34 who was kind enough to send us $1,000.

2:13:37 He added the fees which is $30.26

2:13:40 and he says,

2:13:41 dear Adam and John, I've been listening to the show for longer than I would like to admit as a douchebag, but after John's publicity stunt,

2:13:49 I've been compelled to donate.

2:13:51 Not long after John rejoined the show, my dad had a similar incident resulting in a quadruple

2:13:57 bypass.

2:13:58 Witnessing John's steady recovery provided comfort and helped reduce the anxiety that comes from watching a family member undergo such an extensive procedure. I'm happy to report he is doing well and is well on his way to a full recovery. We're happy to hear that. As for me, I'm a recently retired army defense artillery officer with twenty two years of experience

2:14:19 operating and planning

2:14:21 for the

2:14:23 employment, he says, I meant deployment,

2:14:26 of air defense systems from mud to space.

2:14:29 Mhmm. I'm currently at the epicenter of air and missile defense development in the Huntsville, Alabama area, and I'm looking forward to providing my insights into recent events as we have seen a decisive shift to drone centric warfare coupled with large volleys of ballistic and cruise missiles.

2:14:45 You are hereby,

2:14:46 going to have to provide us boots on the ground. Yes. For my knight name, I would like to be called sir Tin Lee Hungwell.

2:14:55 Sir Tin Lee Hungwell,

2:14:57 Red Knight of the Rocket City and would like to splurge on one of those $800

2:15:01 Tomahawk rib eyes for the round table. Apologies for the long notes. No. Thank you for your courage. No jingles. No karma. I will give him a de duchess. You've

2:15:11 been de duched.

2:15:15 Okay.

2:15:17 Michael Miller,

2:15:19 in Sausalito,

2:15:21 California 103026.

2:15:24 Glad you two are still putting out the best podcast in the universe.

2:15:28 Looking forward to the lapel pin to add to my No Agenda Paraphernalia,

2:15:34 Karma for All. Yep. Karma for all. Oops. I'm sorry. Sorry, I screwed that up. Where's my karma for all? There we go.

2:15:41 You've got karma.

2:15:44 I wanna mention something I wanna put in the newsletter. Okay. And I'm thinking about maybe we should rethink

2:15:51 one of our old promotions.

2:15:53 Okay.

2:15:54 So if you look at the

2:15:58 Trump is sitting, I think it's in the Oval Office behind his desk,

2:16:02 there's a on his immediate

2:16:05 left side, there's a bunch of photos of his old family and stuff. And on his right side, and I I have a picture out which I'll put in the newsletter eventually,

2:16:14 sooner than later,

2:16:16 a display

2:16:18 of what appears to be

2:16:21 a probably

2:16:22 50 challenge coins of all sorts. Yes. We used to be big on the challenge coins.

2:16:29 And,

2:16:30 it just it just looks cool. And so the president of The United States

2:16:34 who sets the moral tone for the nation,

2:16:37 according to every political science course you'll ever take,

2:16:41 is into challenge coins. It sounds like an opportunity.

2:16:44 It just hasn't been discussed. Somebody some reporter's gonna have to ask him about this. I haven't heard anything. About his challenge coins? Yeah. He's got a ton of them. They're right off his right shoulder. Well, because he's hanging out with the military all the time.

2:16:57 So, know Yeah. Well You know,

2:16:59 president, I wanna give you this challenge coin.

2:17:02 I I get it.

2:17:35 However, we do honor the dollarrets and the dollar reduce. He's a first time donator.

2:17:40 And every time I hear the Order of the Heart jingle, it tugs at my heartstrings. I hope you'll honor my 1,000

2:18:13 dollars, literally, in cash.

2:18:20 that? Can we even get that in? I there's I have to go to an exchange or something. I'm not sure where I'm gonna because the there are bank that we use used to do it, but they stopped. Well, we'll figure it out. 361

2:18:32 Black Sheep in Johnson City, Tennessee 34163.

2:18:35 This donation is reflective of my father's birthday, 05/1451.

2:18:39 He passed away while I was in Kuwait.

2:18:41 I was coming home for his service,

2:18:44 but then we were evacuated due to

2:18:46 ongoing

2:18:47 tensions.

2:18:48 My prayer, which was answered, I believe, was for him to accept Jesus Christ late in his cancer battle with the help of a pastor. He did. His last act, according to his wife, was to reach up,

2:19:00 at 03:00

2:19:01 ish in the morning,

2:19:03 then he expired. My hope and prayer is that he found what I and so many others have found salvation prayers for you both. This donation is the switcheroo in honor of Claude
