0:00 You gotta be careful with dialing your knobs. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, 06/14/2026.

0:07 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination

0:09 episode eighteen seventy seven. This is No Agenda.

0:14 Calling Offsides,

0:24 And from Northern Silicon Valley where they're using Gila monster poison

0:28 to lose weight. I'm John C. Dvorak.

0:30 It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah. Hello,

0:35 eight months ago.

0:36 Everybody knows this.

0:40 Hello? Well, they're making a big fuss about it now.

0:44 Well, no. This they were making a big fuss about it then. It just came back. It's a recycle.

0:50 The recycle. What's the what was it? What's the noisemakers?

0:52 Are you you're back home. That's why. Oh, got a noise. Oh, got this. Oh, beep. Ping. Ping. Ping. Ping. I discovered your stuff. Yeah. You're Cleaning up. Threats. Yeah. So I got this.

1:05 Get ready to get caught in these webs.

1:09 What is that? Spider Man? Spider Man is on the scene.

1:14 Yeah. Okay.

1:16 Hello, child.

1:19 I don't know where I got this.

1:22 I've I've never even heard that one. I haven't either. That's what surprises

1:26 me. You probably had it for years, didn't even know. This Yes. This is what happens. Probably there there was one woman that's Sharon, I think was her name. She she kept sending me sound effect devices.

1:36 This is what happened She stopped. She I think we lost her. She's overboard. This is what happens when you let your wife redecorate your house.

1:43 Was she in your room room?

1:45 Not yet. Don't know. Or maybe.

1:48 Come on.

1:50 Okay. Wow. Enough of this shenanigans.

1:53 Hey.

1:55 Go team USA.

1:57 Paraguay,

1:57 four one. A

1:59 good match. A good match. Yeah. Thanks to our our alien

2:04 player,

2:05 the black guy who's the only talent on the team. Well, he's from, he was born in Brooklyn.

2:10 I thought he was born in Nigeria. No. He was born in Brooklyn,

2:15 grew up

2:16 in The UK, I think, but his parents are from Nigeria.

2:20 Okay. So he's a he's a boy from Brooklyn.

2:23 But yes, he's he's definitely Sounds like a Brit when he talks. Well, it's because he grew up there. And and I so here's what I've noticed because I haven't really watched

2:31 football,

2:33 which by the way, it turns out that soccer

2:36 actually, the the English used that in the, you know, a hundred years ago. They used the term soccer

2:42 and I couldn't figure out. But was it about the game? Yes. Because you had football. I thought was about their relationships with their women. No. You had football which was rugby

2:53 but then you had association

2:55 football

2:56 as sock sock. So people would call it sock

3:00 as in association

3:01 soccer. Pearson out of school. I'm surprised that you're talking about this when when they're when the Knicks just wiped out your San Antonio Oh. Team in a path another pathetic loss by the team that seems to be Yes.

3:15 Born to choke. Born to choke. It's Cuban's team, so I have a love hate relationship.

3:21 It's like That's not Cuban's team. That's the Dallas team that's Cuban's team. No. No. He has the Spurs.

3:27 What are you talking about?

3:29 Wow.

3:31 Are you telling You heard it, people. Who does he have?

3:34 The Dallas Mavericks. Oh, the Mavericks. Right. Yeah. Oh, well, screw screw him anyway.

3:43 I got a real laugh out of you on that one. Oh, boy. So

3:46 let me go back Yeah. Because it was it was one of those

3:49 that flip around gags. It's pretty hard to pull off.

3:53 So I just wanna say a few things about the game about the match. We don't call it a game, we call it a match. And by the way, the the boy from Brooklyn,

4:01 that last goal off the outside of his boot

4:04 see, I've I got all the terms back now because it's not it's not a shoe, it's in football, it's a boot.

4:09 Okay.

4:10 So

4:11 I see what they've done. You know, the biggest problem I've always seen with soccer in America is it's not advertising friendly, but they've kind of solved it in two ways.

4:21 One, the digital signage,

4:23 that's just great. They've they've got someone riding that thing, they're switching it up, it's all coordinated, it's all over the stadium,

4:30 it's very subliminal. I think that works well for the advertisers.

4:35 The second thing is, they've instituted

4:39 the

4:40 hydration break,

4:42 which

4:44 is not a thing in soccer.

4:46 Oh, we're halfway through the first half. Everybody needs a hydration break.

4:51 In other words, time for commercials.

4:54 It's so obvious what they did there.

4:59 Well, I won't it will never get as pathetic as it was watching the NBA game. Where every time they took the ball out of bounds, there was ten minutes of commercials.

5:07 Well, yeah. Can you turn on your speakers just a tad? A little bit of slap back coming through. But here's the thing that that really threw me. Because part of the game of football

5:18 is the referee,

5:20 you know, he makes calls, you go yell at him, you know, everyone big protest. This is that's part of the game. Now,

5:27 they have the VAR,

5:29 which is the video assist The Daughters of the American Revolution? Not d, v as in Victor.

5:35 Oh.

5:36 The

5:37 video assisted

5:39 referee.

5:41 So

5:42 this one the one team for Paraguay, the one one player, he like, oh, oh, he he kicked my shin, oh, I'm laying on the ground and they do the slow mo and it's obvious the guy never even touched him.

5:55 So first the the American player got a yellow card for kicking the guy in the shin which didn't happen. Then somewhere in the booth somewhere, someone calls down to the ref who also has a camera on his head, ref cam.

6:06 He says, hey, man. We're calling a tech on that. So then the ref runs over to the sideline, looks at the monitor,

6:13 sees that nothing happened. And for the first time ever in any World Cup,

6:18 he takes the yellow card away from the American guy and gives it to the to the Paraguay gay guy gay. Good. Gay.

6:25 But it but it's kind of it's it's it's not right.

6:30 It's it's absolutely correct. This flopping is ridiculous,

6:34 and that's what soccer's known for. It's part of the game. And you're supposed to be able to say, we lost because the ref was no good. That is part of the game. Yeah. Well, those days are over and they should be.

6:46 In our where's our where's our where's

6:49 our coach from?

6:52 He's from Mexico

6:54 City, I think. I'm not sure. Here's a, I guess, short clip here. Mind you, won the game. No. It's it's

7:00 worse than that. Here's the president wishing them good luck. Brand new video of president Trump wishing the team good luck moments ago. Mister president, Andrew Giuliani, how are you? Hi, Andrew. How are you? Well, I'm standing in front of 26 champions and a great coach, coach Pochettino,

7:17 right now. They're ready to go and and run through a wall. So I'm gonna give you the to coach and

7:23 the captain.

7:24 Good. Hi, coach. Hi, mister president.

7:27 How are you? Well, I just called to say you're a fantastic

7:31 guy, a fantastic coach. And they're all about your record and your success,

7:36 and the upgrade to play his arm.

7:38 I think you got a really good chance of going all the way. Yes. Thank you so much. I just wanna wish you a lot of luck. Thank you so much for your support, mister president.

7:46 We are going to do everything to make

7:49 proud of you and all the people here in this country. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Whatever he just said. Oh, wait. Let me get this straight. Yeah. So they win one lousy

8:00 game At Paraguay. The president gets pulled into it. Did because this is the only game they're gonna win. No. No. This before game. Traditionally stinks. This was before the game.

8:11 Oh, it was before they they don't even win a game and the president gets drunk. Why are so unpatriotic,

8:17 man? What's wrong with you? I'm just not a soccer fan. Well, you don't have to be to just say go team USA or go go. Okay. I'll say it. Go team USA.

8:28 Now get off the stage.

8:30 So

8:32 the guy who keeps predicting the winner of the World Cup, I forget the guy's name. He has predicted that

8:39 that America will win

8:43 And

8:44 and just one more sports ball nugget.

8:47 The the Dutch king who is a huge

8:50 football fan,

8:52 he he's he has problems because now Curacao,

8:55 which is a

8:56 Dutch province,

8:58 has a team. They they qualified there and there. And he has his wife who of course is Argentinian.

9:04 So he's he has three three teams he's gotta be rooting for.

9:07 I mean, this is a this is a problem.

9:10 So you don't like sports at all and somehow you're suckered into this into this soccer scene

9:16 and you've been yakking about it now.

9:19 Why? What happened? Come on. Explain. Well, I've been taking testosterone.

9:25 So so my tea is up. I

9:28 thought your tea was down. That's is that which would more likely explain it. Yeah. But no.

9:34 No. I have a new now I have a new tablets,

9:39 dissolvable tablets under your tongue.

9:42 Okay.

9:43 It'll

9:45 be this is my last foray into the tea. I'm not doing shots. Okay? I'm not gonna do shots. Just know this is lame. I'm not gonna Jello shots. Yeah. If it was Jello shots, yeah, I'd do a lot of that.

9:57 Anyway,

9:58 right as we're getting ready for the the deal to be signed any minute now, any minute now. Oh, yeah.

10:04 BBC reporting that Israel has attacked Beirut again. These guys,

10:10 if that's really true, I don't see it on any other on the quad screen, but if that's true,

10:17 Trump will not be we attack Israel. Yeah.

10:21 We gotta do something.

10:23 Those guys are trouble.

10:24 They keep mucking up the deal.

10:27 It's no good. Did you see the the chorus of brass that was out over the weekend

10:33 about this deal? I mean, everybody had generals and vice admirals and colonels

10:39 and guys from CENTCOM.

10:42 No?

10:44 Not

10:45 well, I I have some clips, but I didn't notice it was anything

10:49 beyond the ordinary.

10:51 I I don't typically see that many coming out.

10:57 General Cain.

10:59 And it was and the message is,

11:02 well, the Iranians are no good. We should keep bombing them. Here to discuss the feasibility of this retired four star general Fox News senior strategic analyst chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, general Jack Keane. General

11:14 Oh, mean Jack Keane's no good.

11:18 No. Of course not. He this is on Fox where Fox had all the the warmongers on. Notice that the Iranians aren't pushing back,

11:25 so aggressively as they have in the past after the president said we're close on a deal. Do you read anything into that? No. Well, I I think

11:34 it remains to be seen where we are. I mean,

11:37 you can tell This guy's from the Institute of War. Well, I I think it remains to be seen where we Institute of War. From Iran. I mean, the the comments are always inconsistent

11:46 when it comes to a deal. You got people saying they're compliant. You have other people in the government saying they're not. So it's gonna take some time to ferret out what we really have here. At all. But say what? He what he described as inconsistent

12:00 at all.

12:02 One side says this, the other side says that. That's very consistent.

12:05 Yes. But listen. We we don't we're not at this point without the military operation

12:11 that president Trump ordered. He he knew he wasn't making much progress with these guys,

12:16 and two nights of military operation with the promise of more to come,

12:20 certainly gave him added leverage. And I and I think as we go forward, we're in early stages here. Remember,

12:27 it's taken us two months

12:29 to get here after the ceasefire

12:31 when the Iranians said they were gonna negotiate the opening of the Straits Of Amuz in two weeks.

12:37 So we have to have some patience with what we're dealing with here. And we have to be very clear right about what's happening

12:44 because what the Iranians say and what they do are two different things. Alright. So let's go to CNN.

12:53 CNN really want us to lose everything. CNN

12:57 and MS Now, they're just like, we we should be the losers. We should be the suckers. This is what we want. This is where it's going. Trump's no good. Iran declaring victory this hour. The foreign minister going on TV tonight to make this declaration.

13:13 Victor of this battlefield. The

13:15 Islamic Republic Of Iran has emerged as a victor. The Iranian people achieved

13:21 get bombs back. This is not a slogan. This

13:26 is no exaggeration.

13:28 That's the sort of propaganda you might expect from the Iranians,

13:31 but it actually happens to be something a shipping executive I spoke with tonight backs up. The ship stuck in the strait for now a long time. A long time. He told me, quote, unfortunately, the White House, The US are losers. Well, how come who was the name what was the name of the guy? Why don't you have him on?

13:47 Dude, this is what I don't like. Well, this backs up what some guy told me. And the guy said, you know, we've had a ship out there for some some time, So we're that we're losers.

13:58 That's CNN. That that's that is very poor reporting. But that's that's what we get constantly. What was I looking at this morning? Someone sent me a note.

14:08 It was actually I think the the oil baron wants us to lose. I don't know what he's doing.

14:13 The oil baron

14:16 here, this was from Bloomberg. This is how this is what Bloomberg. Right?

14:21 Iran pushed back on US Bloomberg. Iran pushed back on US president Donald Trump's assertion an interim peace deal to reopen the Strait Of Hormuz was imminent as an Israeli strike on Lebanon posed a potential new risk to any agreement.

14:35 And then they have the Islamic Republic said an agreement with The US would not be reached by Trump's suggest deadline of Sunday, Iran's semi official,

14:43 Farce News Agency reported citing an unidentified

14:46 official close to the negotiating team. What does that even mean?

14:52 As of as

14:54 of Friday, Iranian supreme leader,

14:57 Muttaba karma hadn't

14:59 agreed to the text of the so called memorandum of understanding according to a person familiar with the matter. Like, this is not reporting.

15:08 This is just hearsay.

15:12 Know. I know. It's it's crazy. Right? What? It was. Gambling.

15:17 And so I still haven't heard from the oil Baron about these, you know, 100,000,000

15:22 barrels of oil.

15:23 I think everyone got signed because I know that his partner has been to the White House and was part of the the oil round table or whatever.

15:31 I think they were all signed to NDAs about this. Listen to this. We're taking out maintenance,

15:37 which I'm just announcing today for the first time,

15:40 but we've been taking out millions

15:43 of barrels

15:45 of oil. Millions of barrels

15:47 every night. That's why I said $85.90

15:50 dollars a barrel instead of 250.

15:52 He is an expert. Phil Flynn, Fox Business, and Focus With Me Now. Phil, great to have you. If you could just walk us through Thank you. What the president's announcement means for oil markets and why prices actually good news,

16:06 not spiking higher in The US right now. It's absolutely

16:09 great news. And I think people really have to credit the Trump administration

16:14 from averting what could have been a major, you know, economic crisis. The way that they've snuck oil out of the Strait Of Hormuz

16:21 by the cover of night, you know, is something of legend. Right? You know, it reminds me of the American revolution sneaking over the Delaware in the middle of the night. But you know what? People in the industry Exactly the same. Have been watching this, and we've been seeing it on the oil side. That's why the markets have been going crazy.

16:38 We have seen these tankers, you know, through these different satellite images,

16:43 you know, going through the strait. So the word was out there, you know, but I don't think it was coverage. Yeah. I think because loose lips, you know, sink ships. Right?

16:54 They were told they were told to shut up about it. It's clear now.

16:58 That's why the oil baron wouldn't answer me.

17:01 Because they all Well, that's your thesis. You don't know that for a fact. Well, but I'm hearing the guy saying we all knew about it. We were watching it on the satellite. Loose lips, sink ships. That's exactly that is a shut up mission.

17:13 Now, of course, I don't know that for a fact but now that it's all over Maybe you don't even know if it was actually if that anything actually happened.

17:20 Okay.

17:21 Sure. Why don't you play some clips because you're not gonna be on my side on anything today. It started I know I started you off wrong with the football.

17:29 I'm sorry.

17:31 Oh, you apologized.

17:32 Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

17:35 No. I no. I I'm just

17:38 think there's a lot of flim flam going on,

17:42 and it's getting on my nerves and this Oh, okay. Alright. That's fine. And and, you know, so the this, that, yeah, they were did this, we did that, and now we're doing this, and now we're doing that. It's just like

17:52 it just bothers me.

17:55 So let's go with the BBC.

17:56 I got BBC coverage here. This is It bothers him, ladies and gentlemen. It bothers me. Please stop.

18:03 So,

18:04 let's go BBC flimflam.

18:06 BBC flimflam.

18:07 President Trump has said a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and will be followed by the immediate reopening of the Strait Of Hormuz to shipping.

18:16 His comment came hours after Iran cast doubt on whether the signing would happen so soon. In a social media post, mister Trump insisted the agreement would ensure Iran could never get a nuclear weapon. Thomas Morgan is following developments from Washington. It was really interesting how much he mentions the nuclear program in Iran in that post even though in this memorandum is actually not a part of that. What it says in the memorandum is that the strait will reopen. There'll be a peace truce between the two countries. The US blockade will lift. But in terms of the nuclear program, what it says and what the deal says is that they will continue negotiations for sixty days.

18:56 If I might point out,

18:59 flimflam

18:59 is a word we should is a phrase we should use more often. Where does this even come from?

19:06 You have a source of knowledge sitting right next to you. Book of knowledge. Okay. Book of knowledge.

19:12 Hold on a second. Book of Knowledge.

19:14 What

19:15 is the etymology of flimflam?

19:20 Book of Knowledge always there. Ready for me. Let's see what he comes up with.

19:25 Oh, that's to go back a long time in the audience. The book of knowledge, flimflam emerged in the fifteen thirties as a contemptuous echoic construction likely

19:34 from old Scandinavian

19:36 origins

19:36 connected to old Norse flim meaning mockery.

19:41 Word first entered English as deceptive nonsense in the second half of the sixteenth century.

19:46 Flim flam. There you go. It

19:49 has been written. It's mockery. So it's it's a very old Fifteen hundreds. It's an old well, so are you. So it's an old still this still applies.

19:57 A a possible show title, I think, now.

20:01 Yeah. It's actually a pretty good I think. Okay. Back to the BBC. Now we have the the deal signing BS clip.

20:09 So once again, it's been a day which started with optimism.

20:13 Talk of some kind of agreement between The US and Iran being signed on Sunday,

20:18 only for that hope to be very much left uncertain with Iran denying that anything would happen quite so imminently.

20:25 We have, of course, been here before. Indeed, president Trump has made a habit of announcing that an agreement with Iran is close.

20:32 This time, however, it's not just the White House which is talking up the prospects of success.

20:38 As my colleague, Baham Khobadi, from the BBC Pershing Service explained to me.

20:43 What we know so far is that they're really close to signing a deal. Why? Because Americans are saying it, Pakistanis are saying it, and even Iranians are saying it. But what we don't know is that is it going to be signed really tomorrow? Donald Trump thinks so. He posted on his social media saying that it is scheduled for tomorrow. Pakistani prime minister, Shahab al Sharif, also mentioned the same thing. However, he said that it is going to be signed digitally,

21:06 so there is no photo opportunities that Donald Trump usually DocuSign.

21:09 Likes, and Iranians, they want to deprive him of that that photo opportunity so that he cannot claim victory.

21:16 Regardless, what Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson

21:19 has said that there is no signing tomorrow,

21:22 and we are not traveling anywhere,

21:24 neither to Geneva nor anywhere else for tomorrow. Iranians are being more cautious about the timeline and to give the exact time and date of signing. Why is that? Maybe because they haven't finalized it yet or maybe because of the Iranian hardliners.

21:40 They don't wanna create an atmosphere inside Iran to give opportunity to Iranian hardliners to criticize the governments.

21:47 I find it interesting that Qatar all of a sudden is at the table now.

21:51 I I knew the Pakistanis were doing it, but now Qatar is showing up. Are those guy those guys may not be any good either.

21:57 Well, they're on the other side of the of the Strait Of Burmuz.

22:01 Yeah. So they figure they they should have something to do with that. I don't know. Maybe Tucker will represent them.

22:10 Okay. I got one more clip from the BBC,

22:13 which is this one kinda gives away something. I thought this analysis is pretty good. It's possible that, this is meaningful. It's about the funeral of the of the dead of the dead.

22:24 Yeah. This is good. Hold on a second. Here it is. Yes. Another development which we've been hearing about in the news is that Iran has now said that the funeral of the late leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will take place next month. Now they had delayed this

22:38 apparently because Iran did not want his funeral to take place in the middle of a conflict.

22:44 So if they're now saying it will go ahead next month, I'm wondering whether we can read into that that they expect the conflict to be over by then. Yeah. It it might be because they think that by then they should have have overcome this conflict, and this conflict you know, they've reached at least some sort of a kind of rapprochement with the with The United So

23:01 there's no direct military Rapprochement. Going

23:04 on. But the the fact is that that he has not been buried for almost four months over four months by the time in three weeks' time that they're going to bury him. And his son, who is the third Iranian supreme leader, has not been seen in public, and nobody has heard his voice in the meantime.

23:22 So are we going to see him appear for the first time during the funeral as well? Because that might be one of the key factors in the equation as well because his son has never been heard or seen in public. So maybe that's the time we are going to him for the first time or maybe not. Well, so first of all, I have a follow-up clip to that. It's interesting how things come together on this show. Ra ra ra ra ra

23:50 or

23:51 rapprochement? Ra ra ra

23:53 ra ra ra We ra were ra ra in agreement.

23:54 Yeah. Okay. And m

23:56 o u, rapprochement,

23:59 memorandum of understanding. Well, the actual date according to Fox News is even funnier. So state media in Iran also announced that the funeral

24:07 for the former and late supreme leader there, Ali Khamenei, will start on July 4. It'll be a multi day event. Wow.

24:15 That's quite the the date to choose. Rent, you hear you hear July 4, you hear the supreme leader's funeral happening on that day.

24:24 Is there a message in there somewhere, or is that reading too into things? It's unclear. There was an original time frame that this was going to happen in the early part of this month and that maybe it slid.

24:34 There is an ongoing conflict in that country and in that region, so perhaps their their preps got a little thrown off. But, yeah, unclear if it has anything to do with the two hundred fiftieth anniversary, which the planning and preps for is very noticeable around this city.

24:49 July 4, those bastards.

24:51 Yeah. Good catch. I'm gonna give you a borderline clip of the day for finding that one. Oh, thank you.

24:57 You think the BBC will catch it? No. The BBC. They they that's they don't like that day. They don't wanna bring any more attention to July 4 than is necessary. This I have one last clip, which is the which is the the NPR

25:13 rundown. It's kind of their update of the whole thing.

25:17 Let's see. NPR

25:19 rundown. I'm not seeing it. What is it? Is it It's Iran deal update NPR.

25:25 Got it. Both The US and Iran say the signing of a peace deal is imminent, but disagree on when it will happen.

25:31 President Trump says it'll happen tomorrow, but a top Iranian official doesn't think it will be that soon as NPR's Kerry Khan reports.

25:39 Trump posted that a deal to end fighting between The US and Iran is, quote, scheduled to get signed on Sunday.

25:46 And he added that the Strait Of Hormuz,

25:49 a key transport route for the world's oil and gas supply, will be, quote, open to all.

25:55 Pakistani officials have been key mediators said a deal was expected within twenty four hours and would be signed electronically.

26:03 But on Saturday, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said a deal was coming, but, quote, we will have to wait and see about the exact date, adding it will not be Sunday. Neither side has provided details

26:15 of an agreement other than Iran would open the strait, The US would lift its blockade, and the current cease fire would be extended for sixty days.

26:25 That sixty days meme, I don't know if that's true. I keep talking about that. There's a 24,000,000,000

26:31 they keep talking about a b this will kinda wrap it up. ABC had their version.

26:35 And as you'd expect expect from

26:37 ABC, it's like the whole thing was ridiculous and we're right back where we started with Obama. The two sides appear to be closer than ever to a deal to end the fighting and reopen the Strait Of Hormuz. Senior White House correspondent Selena Wang is in Washington with the details. Selena, good morning. Yeah. Good morning, Whit. And this is the strongest sign we've seen yet that The US and Iran are getting close to an agreement to end this war. A senior administration official telling us there's an 80 to 85%

27:05 chance a deal is signed in the coming days. And Iran's foreign minister says an agreement has never been closer. As for what's in this deal, that US official says it would reopen the Strait Of Hormuz, that critical waterway,

27:17 and lift The US blockade. But look. This is just a memorandum of understanding. A lot would still have to be hashed out over a sixty day period. The official says the deal, quote, leads to the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program, The US taking the enriched material, destroying it, and removing it from the country, but there's no specifics, Whit, about how all of that would happen. And, Selena, what more are you learning about what Iran would get out of this deal? Well, with potentially

27:45 a lot. The senior administration official says if Iran holds up their end of the bargain, they'll get relief from crushing economic pressure and reintegrate into the global economy that could include relief from US sanctions and $24,000,000,000

27:59 in frozen Iranian assets. But here's something really important to keep in mind as we talk about all of this. Trump says Iran will promise I love that. But here's this is NLP. That was pretty good. But here's something really important to keep in mind as we talk about all this. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. That could include relief from US sanctions and $24,000,000,000

28:20 in frozen Iranian assets.

28:22 But here's something really important to keep in mind as we talk about all of this. Trump says Iran will promise never to build or obtain a nuclear weapon, but that promise is not new. In fact, it was in the very first paragraph of the nuclear deal negotiated under president Obama,

28:37 a deal that Trump tore up and still repeatedly criticizes

28:41 to this date. He tore it up and he's doing the same thing. He's no good war of choice.

28:47 Yeah. War of choice. I'm I'm thinking the the July 4 funeral date. I think that's correct. You know, my thesis has always been Trump gets because I do. Yes.

28:57 But but it's but Trump's probably happy with it. Yeah. Go ahead. Do it on July 4. Who cares? We're gonna have bombs bursting in air, jets flying over,

29:06 vanilla ice.

29:07 It's gonna be fantastic. We got everything here in America, you're not gonna see anything if this happening. Who cares? We're gonna see some people in the street.

29:15 We're carrying a casket like they always do. They could use stock footage, we've seen that so many times.

29:20 Then that it'll all be cleared up and just before just before the July 4 holiday, gas prices go down, everyone's happy.

29:29 Yeah. I can see it. I can see it.

29:32 Well, that's that that would be good timing. I personally don't think they're gonna get the gas prices down in time, but okay.

29:40 Well, they're already down here.

29:42 Here. Here. Oh, I'm sorry. What am I thinking? I even be making any generalizations.

29:47 I'm in California. Yes. Correct.

29:50 I saw is the diesel price around the corner?

29:54 I

29:54 I'm afraid to even guess. $8.25.

29:58 Oh, man.

29:59 That is crazy.

30:01 That's a lot.

30:04 Well, speaking of California real quick.

30:06 I mean, it looks like Spencer Pratt has the goods on on your mayor that while you're you're not in Los Angeles. But on the mayor in Los Angeles, do you see his threat video?

30:17 I I I've seen all his videos. Yes. Former reality show star and vanquished LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt Vanquished. Vanquished. Music

30:25 bed, unleashing a vitriolic

30:27 Woah. That was this is a good piece. Vanquish? And then what he said? Spencer Pratt under a menacing music bed Menacing music bed.

30:37 Unleashing a vitriotic two minute long video. Attacking the top two vote gaggers. Videolic. Mayor Karen Bass and city council woman, Nikki Arama. And now every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate. Corrupt communists. Interspliced with movie clips, Pratt predicted his loss would result in a rapid dismembering of the social and economic fabric of the city. Andy claimed to possess an audio recording of a private conversation

31:03 involving one of the two candidates

31:05 of such a nature that its disclosure would force them to resign from public office.

31:10 So Karen,

31:11 yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace? With an FBI blazer busting the door, breaking open your office because I assure you they're coming.

31:25 I've so I shades of Tom Arnold. I've got the pee tape.

31:30 Yeah. Exactly.

31:32 Yeah. That's exactly it. That that he probably doesn't have anything.

31:36 Well, let's see. There's one follow-up short clip here. Former LA County supervisor

31:41 is with UCLA's Luskin Institute.

31:43 He predicts most voters have moved on. People are tired of of the yelling and screaming, and we saw that in the governor's race. One of the reasons Javier Becerra

31:55 emerged as a leader is people were tired of candidates behaving like children. As for Pratt's claim that he has a secret recording Talk is cheap. I don't take it seriously. Can I tell you how many times people said, oh, we have recordings of you? No.

32:12 It's I

32:14 I think it's just designed to make news.

32:17 I

32:19 do get these all the time. I get emails all the time. We have recordings of you

32:24 By I broke into your computer. I saw you on your webcam webcam. I saw what you were doing looking at adult websites. Send me a Bitcoin.

32:32 Yeah. You get that all the time.

32:35 Yeah. Yeah. I always say, send me a flies when you don't even got a camera on your machine. Send me a send me a copy.

32:42 Yes. Send me a copy. I'll make some money off of that. I could use it.

32:48 I need the proof. Yeah. So then we have the

32:51 the big UFC fight.

32:55 Yeah. That's going on should be going on now, shouldn't it? Or is it tonight? No. I think it's no. They're doing it tonight. And

33:01 oh, man. I

33:03 really like this idea personally. You know, UFC is it's such a huge sport.

33:11 As far as I know, it's the whole UFC idea is kind of uniquely American.

33:16 Not the not the techniques and of course all the fighting comes from derivatives.

33:21 But, I mean,

33:23 correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a huge American pastime watching UFC.

33:27 Right?

33:29 Well, this began this didn't this is not an old sport, so you can't call it a pastime.

33:34 I mean, I think it began

33:36 in earnest about

33:38 twenty five years ago, maybe.

33:41 And there was a I think there was two competing operations.

33:44 And the the the initial thinking with UFC

33:48 was, this was during an era twenty five or thirty years ago when everybody was taking different kinds of karate,

33:55 Brazilian karate Jujitsu.

33:57 Jujitsu.

33:58 Yeah. And there was there was this thinking,

34:01 which of these sports is the would be the most dominant if they were facing off in a real real

34:08 head to head match Cage match. With no holds barred. Yeah. Right. So and it turns out after a few of these matches that it turned out to be wrestling,

34:17 Grappler,

34:19 get the guy on the ground and then start pounding him. Yeah. But if you the first

34:23 just to get anecdotal here. The because I saw some of the first videotapes because it was not on television. Right. It was it was taped and passed around. Some guy was a collector of these. It was at carnivals and backrooms.

34:37 Well, I'll tell you. The original,

34:39 UFC fights from and I don't know if it was called UFC at the time, but the original fights where they had these guys, one guy be a karate guy and as a boxer, they'd go after each other, one guy jumped the other guy, knocked him to the ground,

34:53 get him in a position, and then start pounding his nuts

34:57 as hard as he could

34:59 over and over and over with his with extreme

35:02 force

35:03 until the guy if

35:05 if the guy could even manage to tap out

35:08 because he was in such pain. That's what I mean. A real American sport. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. And they had to ban the pounding of the balls because these guys are being, you know, basically

35:19 never could have children after this.

35:22 And, this was the early going, and then they changed it. They made rules, and it became a little more like boxing

35:28 in terms of us, you know, being,

35:31 having rules that, you know, what they originally, it was no rules. It was you go for it. Well And I have, I have three short clips of response,

35:40 from the usual suspects. Let's see what they think of it. We start with PBS, David Brooks. David, do your Sunday night plans involve being at the White House for a UFC match by chance? I have to I'm

35:51 actually active participant.

35:52 I'm I'm gonna be fighting

35:55 with Jonathan. It'll be it'll be like That

35:57 I would like to see. Could you imagine? But what do you what do you make of this? Well, I first thought of, who are the artists John F. Kennedy brought to the White House? It was like,

36:07 h Auden,

36:08 Robert Frost,

36:09 Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein,

36:12 and now we've got cage fighting. Don't anybody say America's in cultural decline. Well, he also brought in mayor Monroe when a whole bunch of chicks he was banging, but don't anyone talk about that. Yeah. Let's not mention that.

36:25 MS

36:26 MS Now. Your your reporting yesterday

36:29 for MS Now, how Trump and his allies could profit from the UFC fight at the White House.

36:34 And you report

36:35 in part, Trump purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock in UFC parent companies shortly

36:41 before announcing the event last year according to a May financial disclosure. He's holding a $1,000,000

36:48 per plate fundraiser for his top super pack

36:51 the night before the cage match. It's his birthday. Let him do what he wants. Tonight. And Trump What did what did Obama bring in? He brought in Jay z and then Beyonce

37:03 and had all kinds of fundraisers.

37:06 Officially

37:07 designed

37:09 officially designed

37:10 Yes. A line of Trump

37:13 x UFC

37:14 Freedom

37:15 two fifty medal medallions,

37:18 which are selling for $250

37:21 to $12,000.

37:24 What in the grift is this? What in grift? To those coins, some of those profits are going to go to the president's licensing

37:32 company. Now the White House says that his sons run the Trump Organization businesses,

37:38 but it's not in a blind trust and never has he had any of his stuff in a blind trust the way past presidents have traditionally Okay. Done. All they can talk about is it's a grift. He's a grifter. It's a grifter. Now Rubio

37:49 Rubio comments on this. Rubio has an interesting take on the whole UFC fight. Secretary of state Marco Rubio

37:56 defended the spectacle

37:58 calling it a gift to the American people and use it

38:03 love this guy. This guy is so good. Calling it a gift to the American people. Is it yes. It's a gift to the American people. It's a is it is it free, by the way? Is it pay per view? Or is it free?

38:16 Well, you're asking me. I don't know. No. You don't know. The Troll room may know. Defended the spectacle,

38:20 calling it a gift to the American people.

38:23 And you just gotta hear this bizarre comparison he made. When president Kennedy announced that we were gonna put a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth, no one thought that was possible and we did it. We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do and no one else aspired to do.

38:39 And at some level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has meant. Wow.

38:43 Isn't that good?

38:46 Rubio is the best.

38:49 He nails it. On some level, that's exactly what happened with this company. It was like a moonshot, man. Run them safely to earth. No one thought that was possible, and we did it. We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do and no one else aspired to do.

39:03 And at some level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been.

39:07 Laura Verhun Lopez and Aidan McLaughlin are back with us. I'm a just leave that alone. I'm gonna leave that alone. Alright. Now, what I learned though from NBC

39:16 is that wrestling

39:18 is a very,

39:20 very long

39:21 presidential

39:22 history. 13 former presidents were wrestlers, including Dwight Eisenhower

39:27 and William Howard Taft.

39:28 Even George Washington was known to grapple according to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. And a young Abraham Lincoln is also said to have been victorious in hundreds of matches in his day. There's only one recorded instance in which Lincoln lost a wrestling match. That's the kind of a president you want. And Teddy Roosevelt? As a president, he learned jujitsu

39:49 and actually threw

39:50 a senator onto the ground. I'm sure other presidents would have liked to do that themselves. I didn't know this.

39:56 Go Teddy.

39:59 I'm gonna hip throw you.

40:01 Yeah. You see,

40:03 we got weak somewhere along the line. Our presidents were badasses.

40:07 Hey, summer. Golf.

40:12 I'm gonna I'm gonna whoop when did the golfing thing start? Did that start with JFK? He was a golfer, wasn't he?

40:19 No. Eisenhower was a huge golfer. Oh, Eisenhower. Okay.

40:23 Well I know Roosevelt wasn't.

40:25 No. His

40:26 wife was.

40:27 But I don't think anybody else was. He had other qualifications. Think I think I think it was Eisenhower that really made it made it happen. Yeah. Well, it was good. It was good.

40:37 Well, while we're on top topic of personalities,

40:40 Elon Musk is a trillionaire Yes. He is. Yes. Good work. On paper. Yes. Uh-huh.

40:47 And so I thought I I have two clips that I thought was is would

40:51 celebrate this. Mhmm.

40:53 One is the Elon Musk supercut of everybody on MSNBC,

40:57 CNN, and the rest of them saying what a dummy he is.

41:01 This dude

41:02 is probably

41:03 one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen

41:08 or witnessed.

41:10 Being a freeloader and a selfish and disrespectful one and for misappropriating

41:15 black vernacular for misogynistic

41:16 purposes, Elon Musk is the absolute worst. The world's richest freeloader

41:22 evidently has a very thin skin.

41:25 Elon Musk

41:26 kinda turned out to be a and

41:29 I don't wanna be driving the car

41:31 built and designed by

41:34 Elon Musk is incompetent.

41:36 He's incompetent.

41:37 He's a thief. He's a Nazi. Musk is a pathological liar.

41:42 He's a criminal. Wow.

41:45 He's a sociopath and a ghoul. Cannot say this one like Elon Musk is Really, an

41:50 what he's up to is,

41:52 you know,

41:54 snorting ketamine and and tweeting at all hours of the the day and night. The guy's the guy's a joke. Right? He really is a joke.

42:02 The more I hear him talk, I'm

42:04 astonished

42:05 at how dumb Elon Musk is. But look at what he did with SpaceX and

42:10 Starlink

42:11 and all these companies. He's gotta he's gotta be somewhat intelligent. The more I hear him talk, the more I'm like, holy fucking shit. This dude tripped over his dick and became successful.

42:21 Wow. Who was that at the end? I don't know. That that one last guy, don't know who it was. But I do have a clip. This is the Musk hold on. Hold on. Before you go there. The Verge.

42:32 You you know, The Verge. Oh, yeah. The Verge. Well, they wrote they wrote this article. Let me see if I can find it here real quick.

42:40 Yeah. Here it is.

42:41 The world's first trillionaire

42:43 is a killer.

42:46 How? Is a killer? Yes. Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person ever to walk the planet and while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, the fact one fact in particular stands out. A year ago, Musk's actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and he did it knowingly and worse gleefully.

43:08 So

43:09 they

43:10 claim here

43:11 according to a Boston University

43:14 professor who

43:16 did a some research,

43:18 seven hundred and eighty thousand deaths,

43:21 mostly of children, many of infants due to the USAID

43:25 cuts.

43:26 Oh.

43:27 So Brother. Musk is personally responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands.

43:34 It's it's the verge. What happened to What

43:37 to the verge, man? They've always been sketchy.

43:40 No. That's that's pretty bad though. Like, geez. Give me a break. Alright. So I just wanted to add that. That's pretty pretty slanted. So this is, you know, Aerie, the guy on is it CNN or MS?

43:51 Fleischman Fleischman? Yeah. That guy. And he's with Thomas Friedman, the book the Nobel Prize guy from the New York Times. The Economist. Yes. The Economist.

43:59 And so they're gonna go on and on about what

44:02 a dumb this is the the this just came out,

44:06 and it's like they're still harping on Musk being kind of a dummy. Is there something in your view that is wrong,

44:14 that is immoral

44:15 with a certain level of singular wealth

44:19 accrual,

44:20 whether that's a billion or 10,000,000,000

44:23 or now, today's the first day we'd ever say it Yeah. Should a human

44:27 have a trillion dollars while people starve.

44:30 Well, that seems starve. It certainly seems immoral. You don't don't have to be a believer in perfect equality

44:36 to think that there's something kind of obscene about this much wealth along with this much suffering.

44:41 Oh,

44:42 man. Okay.

44:44 Wealth is It's his fault. It's on paper.

44:47 Meanwhile, you know yeah. I know. But meanwhile, this much suffering, the people are starving. I mean, would these guys won't say anything about the about the fraudulent

44:56 learning centers and the fraudulent

44:59 day cares and the fraudulent food programs that nobody gets the the food,

45:04 which is really hell is where people are starving.

45:07 Well, not only that, but the Department of Justice announced a huge investigation

45:12 with arrests,

45:14 which I think everyone who was interested in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein would kind of be interested in this. More than 475,000

45:26 unaccompanied

45:27 children

45:28 entered The United States

45:30 during the Biden administration.

45:32 475,000.

45:36 Over 300,000

45:39 cannot be accounted for

45:41 at the end of twenty twenty four.

45:43 The way that this happened

45:46 was typically

45:47 because the criminals

45:49 calling themselves

45:50 sponsors

45:51 trafficked these children to the border,

45:54 usually committing fraud to do so.

45:57 And oftentimes, the children were abused, assaulted,

46:00 and certainly exploited.

46:03 In some cases, individuals would sponsor multiple children which required them to lie

46:09 on to government personnel and on government forms,

46:11 claiming they were close relatives when in fact they were not. They would use fake or stolen identities

46:17 and make other false claims during the application process in order to obtain custody

46:23 of the children.

46:26 I think I'm stating the obvious

46:28 that when government fails to protect our borders,

46:31 it is the most vulnerable who suffer. Yeah. But there's no outrage over this or over this one particular highlight. I also want to announce today from the same district in Ohio, the Northern District, the sentencing of another

46:44 criminal illegal alien who was convicted,

46:47 also from Guatemala.

46:49 He was a 27 year old man who came to The United States,

46:53 smuggled in a 14 year old child

46:55 by submitting

46:57 false paperwork and lying on the forms,

47:00 claiming to be her brother,

47:02 proceeded to sexually assault

47:04 this young woman,

47:06 and I these two cases, well, only two,

47:10 help explain how what was going on is really the stuff of nightmares.

47:14 Yeah. And not to belabor the point, but here's a clip from DHS secretary Mullen. Because of our partnership

47:21 with,

47:22 h h HHS and DOJ,

47:24 Department of Homeland Security,

47:27 truly using the best of the best, which the Democrats sometimes wanna demonize because a lot of times this is ICE. This is HSI. This is CBP.

47:36 These individuals

47:38 that the Democrats seem to want to defund, we found a 146,000

47:43 kids so far.

47:45 146,000

47:46 kids.

47:48 We still have nearly 300,000 missing.

47:51 We're we're investigating

47:53 reports to where

47:55 some of these kids claim that they were raped six to 700

47:59 times.

48:01 I don't care who you are.

48:04 I don't care if you have kids, if you don't have kids, I don't care if you're a liberal, you're independent, you're a democrat, you're republican.

48:10 If you can't stand

48:13 for law enforcement to go find these kids,

48:16 who are you? Yeah. A democrat.

48:19 Who are you? So no one seems to care about this. I thought No. They they don't care. In fact, they they encourage it. Well

48:26 I mean, I mean, you can't say that. I mean, that that's not true. No. But it seems it as if it could be. So there's there's this theory and I won't say I got it from Texas slim, but I did. Sounds like a Texas theory already.

48:41 And if you watch Dutton Ranch, we talked about it. That's another Taylor Sheridan

48:45 series.

48:47 And what will unfold in this series, spoiler alert for anybody who cares about it, is that the

48:54 Ten Petal Ranch,

48:55 they are using their cattle operation because they have Mexican crossbreeds,

49:00 not Texas Angus, but Mexican crossbreeds, which they bring up from Mexico

49:04 and they they use that to smuggle drugs and people.

49:09 And

49:11 I've received enough information about this to think that there's something to it and that's probably where the screwworm

49:17 stuff comes from.

49:18 Because there's so much cattle being moved from south of our border

49:23 that not everything is investigated

49:25 and they and they put drugs in the cattle, they've got compartments where there's people, could be children, could be all kinds of stuff. We're going to see that this will be the biggest scandal

49:35 while, you know, our our our ranchers are being screwed over.

49:40 The

49:41 this all this crap beef from South America and and is coming through Mexico coming up and is being used as giant gigantic

49:50 smuggling

49:52 carrier vehicles.

49:55 Yeah. It and I think, wow man, that's totally possible that they because you know, there's so much cattle, they're not gonna go into every single cattle car and check every single, you know, everything out.

50:06 It's a perfect cover for it.

50:08 I'm not saying I heard that from anybody. By the way, Texas slim wants everybody know that after six years on the road, thousands of handshakes with ranches across the country, it's going to pull back and return for a little bit to where all this started.

50:20 He's resting for twenty one days.

50:24 He will be okay.

50:26 But he is if you don't hear from him, keep an eye on his ex account. He'll be back in about three weeks. So he's gonna be okay.

50:33 He's going back to the source of the seed.

50:36 Anyway,

50:38 I think we'll see we will this is where

50:41 DHS and all those guys should they should pay attention to the to the beef industry and if maybe some smuggling is happening through that.

50:52 Says the gossipy women in No. No. None of the women hearsay. Now, on the on the SpaceX IPO,

50:59 I have to say, wow. Well executed.

51:02 Did this so well.

51:04 I don't know if you saw if you were following any of it. Yeah. Of course. So the price was set at $1.35,

51:11 but they were I mean, you know, because typically you want they they were just running the book. Getting the book all jacked up pre market. It was like 170,

51:20 came out a 150, which is so well done. Yeah. I think it was

51:25 to to Morgan Stanley. I think they're the stabilizer.

51:30 So you got all these banks like people unloading their shares. They'll buy them up so the price stays high.

51:35 All those SpaceX top employees are wearing green shoes. Did you hear any of that? No. I didn't know about that. Well, you know what a green shoe is?

51:45 It's a shoe that's colored green. Yeah. So the green shoe is named after the green shoe company in 1960. They had an an an IPO.

51:52 Every IPO has a green shoe, but this one was interesting. So the green shoe means if the price stays above a certain point for thirty days,

52:00 there's an extra tranche

52:02 of shares that can be sold

52:04 that the insiders hold,

52:06 which would be the people who literally were wearing green shoes at the IPO. You could you could see them, oh, they're wearing green shoes.

52:15 The interesting thing about this is it's $11,000,000,000

52:17 worth of shares

52:19 with zero fees going to the underwriters. Somehow Elon got that put together.

52:24 So if they can keep it above a 150 for thirty days, there's another just a nice cash bonus for everybody.

52:31 It was so well done.

52:34 And I I think I think it'll it'll it'll be okay, you know. The people are focusing more on rockets.

52:39 Rockets.

52:40 And not on the x I x AI part.

52:44 But I think

52:46 very quietly the bubble

52:49 popped

52:50 on Yes.

52:53 I think it's Yeah. Sure. I think it's pop yes. I think it's popping. Would you like to, you know, you like to hear why?

52:59 Yeah. I I love to hear why. Okay. So it started with the You know what happens when a bubble pops. Right? Yeah. It goes pop and and kids cry.

53:09 Yeah. A lot of kids cry. Yeah.

53:11 I I think it's

53:13 I really believe it's still

53:15 it's happening. And I'll tell you why. So Anthropic and OpenAI are waiting for their for their public offerings

53:22 and their entire model is built on charging people for using their stuff and we all know that the model there doesn't work. People are

53:30 are paying

53:31 maybe 10 or a 100 x less than it actually costs. And those all these data centers and there's 100 of hundreds of billions of dollars in data centers.

53:40 The first

53:41 clue came from the Apple WWDC.

53:46 I think they still call it a keynote. Now the whole thing

53:51 is like lame. But we've got liquid glass and you have this and who cares?

53:56 But and then, oh, we fixed Siri. But forget Siri.

54:00 Siri is just the front of what's happening with the hardware that Apple is building with their own silicon chips. This is the

54:08 guy who co founded Siri and before they sold it to Apple. And I think he's he's telling us what is happening. Surfers or private cloud compute, I think was the language that they used. But they also said, look, there's there'll probably be some sort of a a data cap, if you will, which I'm assuming you can probably buy out of. But it gets to this idea of the utility relative to the cost. Do you think they're gonna find a way to, I guess, strike that balance for the consumer?

54:34 Yeah. I think 80 to 90% of every query that you're going to use as a consumer,

54:40 you'll be able to run on an on device model, which means you have a, essentially, a data center in your pocket. There you go. You got a data center in your pocket. This is where Apple is moving.

54:52 And then we had this

54:54 strange

54:55 thing happened,

54:56 just on Friday

54:58 with Anthropic

54:59 with their incredibly dangerous model Mythos now renamed Fable five

55:05 where they withdrew the model from use. Anthropic marketed their latest product as dangerous.

55:11 That's come back to bite them. We are complying with the government's legal directive and are removing access to Fable five and Mythos five for all users.

55:19 Just days ago, the artificial intelligence company rolled out its most advanced chatbot,

55:24 Fable five. It's meant to be a safer version of Mythos, an AI model it withheld from general release, claiming it posed significant cybersecurity

55:33 risks. In recent weeks, Anthropic has insisted on more industry oversight,

55:37 even enlisting the support of the pope,

55:40 and floated the option to pause advanced AI developments.

55:43 Right now, it's like the AI industry has a gas pedal, but it doesn't have a brake pedal in the car. And what we're saying is we want to do some of the work required to build that brake pedal so we in the world have an option. Now the US government has ordered Anthropic to suspend access to fable and mythos for foreigners citing national security concerns.

56:04 As a result, it's been abruptly disabled for everyone.

56:07 It escalates a dispute with the Trump administration,

56:09 which began when Anthropic insisted its tech should not be used for lethal autonomous weapons. Anthropic is run by an ideological lunatic who shouldn't have the But that's not my question. My question is AI

56:20 over what we do. It's also an escalation in American efforts to stop China from accessing advanced AI and catching up in the race to control the all important technology.

56:30 Okay. So I think that Anthropic made a very very bad mistake here. So people were, you know, you could select your model, you got your Opus 4.8,

56:39 your Sonnet,

56:40 whatever.

56:41 And there's Fable five and everybody's like, oh, this is great. We're using it because of course, it's no it's not dangerous. This is

56:48 Chad GPT two they said it was gonna kill everybody in the world. Nothing has happened.

56:53 Not no one's lost their yes, people have lost their job, but overall,

56:57 the more engineers are being hired. There's all kinds of things that are just not turning out to be true with this very scary I AI. But if you are in enterprise

57:07 and all of a sudden your model goes away that you've been using, that you've built something on, you're gonna think twice about this.

57:15 And so the all in pod yes?

57:18 I have to bring some clips from the all in Yeah.

57:21 I have to.

57:22 As an aside,

57:23 Jason Kallikanis

57:25 is a great Bernie Sanders.

57:27 He really nails that. It's not in this clip but he really nails it.

57:31 So

57:33 what's happening is Anthropic

57:35 is now looking at your prompts,

57:39 decide not just your prompts, but your entire context window and deciding

57:43 if you should be able to use a model or not,

57:47 which, you know, could they could censor you out of a model if they feel that, oh, you're asking about

57:56 DNA or

57:57 chemical

57:58 processes,

57:59 you may be a terrorist, bloop, we're gonna turn you off of that model.

58:03 And nobody wants this who's running a business and relies on it. I think that it creates

58:09 a pretty obvious risk now.

58:12 And I think that obvious risk is twofold. One

58:15 is anthropic has essentially

58:18 shown their hand,

58:20 which is that they will increasingly

58:24 take in prompts,

58:26 evaluate the prompts,

58:28 and decide what to do with them before they generate output to you.

58:33 And I think

58:35 if you were a person,

58:38 you should generally now think there's a risk of censorship.

58:42 If you're a company,

58:44 I think it's almost a nonstarter.

58:47 And the reason is because you could accidentally

58:50 trip one of these things

58:52 without even knowing it. A downstream scientist using the Claude APIs

58:57 could trip it. A business executive inside your corporation could trip it. A person doing scientific molecular research could trip it. And all of a sudden, you'll get cut off

59:07 from a very important source of business differentiation for yourself.

59:12 So I think if you take both of those two things together,

59:16 we're at this very unique moment in time where I think companies need to start underwriting

59:22 this next phase of AI, which is how do I have control?

59:27 Who am I allowing to learn off of all of this information?

59:31 Do I want to have single point of failure risk

59:34 with respect to AI?

59:36 And I think the answer is that

59:39 you need broad diversity and a governance approach that's better managed. So all of these guys in this all in pod, you know, David Sachs, who was the the the crypto slash AI czar, that was Chamath.

59:50 He's some Silicon Valley hotshot investor. Of course, there's Jay Cal, who doesn't love him. And then there's this dude Freeburg

59:58 and I'm not sure if Freeburg lives in California

1:00:01 and he

1:00:02 he has a company that does DNA exploration on plants. He's trying to build better potatoes or something. But he sees exactly

1:00:10 where this has to go and how it actually doesn't benefit American companies, it benefits the Chinese. Over the last couple of weeks, they've begun to restrict the ability to use the models to do that work.

1:00:22 And the premise is that there's some sort of bioweapon

1:00:26 type risk that folks have theorized could happen using these tools. And as a result, we're losing the capacity to use these models for this very important scientific development work.

1:00:37 As a result, we are likely going to end up needing to use open source models and run them locally ourselves.

1:00:44 So I the reason I walked through all of that is so people can really understand the context of what's gonna happen here. As folks like Anthropic say, hey. We're going to restrict access or censor the output of these models,

1:00:55 it is going to force companies like ourselves who still wanna take advantage

1:00:59 of the capability of these LLMs

1:01:01 to go and get open source tools and run them. And what are the best open source models today? They're Chinese. Yeah. They are. And that is a major concern.

1:01:09 The the American open source models are not as good as the Chinese open source models. So the restrictions that Anthropic and others are putting upon themselves and upon the industry is forcing a lot of companies to go and get open source Chinese models and run them. We're seeing this across the landscape with startups We see it. With large scale enterprises.

1:01:27 Everyone's making that move. And it's true. If you look at YouTube,

1:01:31 there's hundreds of videos, fifteen minutes to an hour long, people explaining how you run this on your computer, how you can run models on your phone,

1:01:39 how you can build your own chatbot. It's not that hard to do actually.

1:01:44 And they're all saying, well, we can't trust Anthropic,

1:01:46 we can't trust any of these things. And these models are pretty good if you just want a chat bot that can do searches. It's very easy to put together.

1:01:54 But it's Dave This last one, David Sachs

1:01:57 who flags what

1:01:59 Anthropic may really be trying to do, which I think is stupid if if it's true, but they're trying to build a moat around what they have by

1:02:07 cozying up to the government saying, we need regulation.

1:02:09 You're missing one piece of it, which is at the same time

1:02:12 that Anthropic

1:02:14 was

1:02:15 engaging in mandatory surveillance and nerfing its models,

1:02:18 Dario wrote a new blog post Oh god.

1:02:22 Saying that transparency

1:02:23 was no longer good enough, that we needed to have a new regulatory agency like an FAA or maybe an FDA

1:02:31 to approve all models.

1:02:33 So your presumption there is correct, yes. If you could go somewhere else to get your questions answered, then you would have alternatives.

1:02:42 But at the same time

1:02:44 that Anthropic is engaging in this potentially anti competitive behavior,

1:02:48 they want to restrict your options. It's not good enough for them just to win in the free market. They're calling on the government to regulate and stop potential competitors

1:02:58 and limit the number of models that you have access Why would they do that? Why would they want to get regulated? The answer, super simple. They don't they want to apply that regulation to open source, which is impossible.

1:03:11 But this would be a great way to scuttle So look. And sandbag open source models Yes. Because they don't have the ability to be regulated. So it's like a preemptive strike against

1:03:20 token maxing on your local machine.

1:03:22 So my thesis is that people have seen it, people have seen the success you can get with

1:03:28 a open source model running on your Mac mini,

1:03:32 running on your iPhone,

1:03:33 running on your your Linux, it can run on anything.

1:03:37 There's a lot of movement towards that and admit, this is what we always see in computing, only this is at hyper speed. You go from centralized to decentralized,

1:03:44 from decentralized to centralized.

1:03:46 And I think we're we're already going into decentralized

1:03:49 mode

1:03:50 before these guys can even get public.

1:03:53 Someone's gonna report on this on CNBC at some point and people are gonna go, what is really happening here?

1:04:00 So Let's listen to this clip, from

1:04:02 NPR

1:04:03 on how

1:04:05 Anthropic got banned by the government so I can put it in context.

1:04:09 Anthropic abruptly shut down its latest AI models after the Trump administration

1:04:13 banned the use of those by foreign nationals.

1:04:16 And here's John Ruich reports. According to a statement from Anthropic, the government's directive cited unspecified national security concerns.

1:04:22 It ordered a suspension of access by foreign nationals to Anthropic's Fable five and Mythos five models.

1:04:29 That includes foreigners inside and outside The US and even foreigners working for Anthropic.

1:04:34 The Mythos AI model has been a source of buzz in recent months. Anthropic decided not to release it to the public in March because the company believed it could potentially help hackers exploit computer security flaws.

1:04:46 So it came up with a workaround, Fable five, an advanced model with extensive safeguards was released this week.

1:04:53 Anthropic says it thinks the government is concerned that there may be a way to jailbreak the model to get around those safeguards,

1:05:00 but Anthropic says it disagrees with the ban. Okay. I have thoughts, but you want to put into context and give comments. No. I don't have any thoughts. Tell me your thoughts.

1:05:10 First of all, it looks like the the Trump administration is purposely trying to blow something up.

1:05:16 This let's start with the basis. This marketing hype of, oh, mythos is so dangerous, we can only give it to the top five biggest banks under project Glasswing, no one else can have it. Then they release it with guardrails,

1:05:28 but they've done tons of experiments with the same prompts

1:05:32 for, you know, free BSD

1:05:34 vulnerabilities

1:05:36 and all the other models found the vulnerabilities too.

1:05:39 So it's not like they have something super special.

1:05:42 They don't.

1:05:43 And they and when,

1:05:45 you know,

1:05:46 I'm not I haven't seen the exact order or request or what it is by the Trump administration,

1:05:52 but they could solve that in multiple ways, you know, it's no different from a bank account like, okay, we need to know your customer. Are you a foreign national? Let me check your records, show us your ID, etcetera.

1:06:03 Even then that's kinda wishy washy.

1:06:06 But then they turned it that was the mistake. They were all just gonna turn it off. I think those guys are crazy.

1:06:12 They never should have done that. They should have at least fought that, but they didn't.

1:06:17 So they want to build some kind of moat around their super dangerous stuff,

1:06:22 but it's really having the the adverse effect. People like, oh, okay. Quinn 3.6

1:06:27 works fine for me. I get the same results. All it's doing is building tools and using web searches.

1:06:33 The corpus is no longer important.

1:06:35 It's just not. You get your open model, you can adjust the weights, you can put whatever you want in there.

1:06:41 But I think I think it's maybe a slow leak then, but the bubble is going to pop based upon what's happening here from the data center to the desktop and in your pocket.

1:06:51 Short now. Oh, wait. They're not public.

1:06:56 Well, you said the bubble popped. Yeah. Now you're saying it's leaking. Well, popped. But I

1:07:02 didn't hear it pop yet.

1:07:04 I think I something this

1:07:06 none of this makes sense.

1:07:08 All that Well, it doesn't make sense, that means there's probably something we don't know.

1:07:12 Well, the thing I know, I've been working on it with extensively

1:07:16 is these local models work very well and if a podcaster,

1:07:20 disc jockey, VJ can figure it out, other people can. I watched the YouTube video. I like the way you do that bit. I'm

1:07:28 just a podcaster, man. Podcaster DJ.

1:07:31 VJ.

1:07:32 That's that's VJ. Oh, yeah. VJ.

1:07:36 Who's always been kind of a nerd.

1:07:39 Yeah. But everybody's a nerd these days. Look, you can you can just go watch a YouTube video. The guys explain exactly how to do it. Like, oh, I click on this, I click on that, I download that, and now it's working. That's what the Open Claw thing And it does a lot of good stuff on YouTube.

1:07:54 Yeah. I should do a YouTube channel.

1:07:57 V v j hacking.

1:07:59 Anyway, that's that's just my thoughts.

1:08:02 Invest Okay. Well, good. Yeah. Does because you're you have so many opinions. I have to give you this I have to do it all. It's not an ask Adam,

1:08:11 but I did a three by three even though one of these says two by two. I don't know why that happened.

1:08:16 Three that is just a typo. It's it's the it's the stuff they used to put you asleep, man, that stuff. So three I get but these are the wait. I talked about these before. These are the openers. Let's do the jingle first. Now it's time for three by three

1:08:31 experiment

1:08:32 by evening.

1:08:34 Comparing stories from ABC,

1:08:37 and NBC.

1:08:39 The never ending two by two. Two

1:08:42 by two and three by three. Okay. These are the three biggest stories. These are the openings of the three networks for Friday's show,

1:08:48 Friday's news shows, the Yamash,

1:08:51 you know, Tom Yamash and the rest of them. And Yeah.

1:08:55 I want I

1:08:57 wanted you to pay careful attention Okay. Because their their main stories that took place were the the Knicks,

1:09:04 upsetting

1:09:05 Yes. But that that they're new not the game that just played yesterday, but the the game before. Yeah. And they must be becoming a trillionaire,

1:09:13 tornadoes in the Midwest Yes. And one or two other stories.

1:09:17 They it it turns out that they're not as matched as you might think. They're not even close to being the same length.

1:09:25 ABC stretching it to over two minutes. Yeah. It's long. And,

1:09:30 and CBS keeping it short. And CBS has more ads. They have more ad load.

1:09:35 And so and so,

1:09:38 I want you to tell me which is the best because Okay. I I I my opinion has always been NBC's done the best job, but it after listening to these three, I can't say that anymore.

1:09:48 And and the blend is totally different from from network to network. Let's start with the long one with ABC.

1:09:55 Tonight, the severe storm threat for millions as we come on the air more than 90,000,000 on alert from the Midwest into the Northeast. That's very good. You start we come on the air. That's that's urgency. It's well written. I like it. Start with death and and destruction with the storm. Very good. On the air more than 90,000,000 on alert from the Midwest into the Northeast. A tornado watch across multiple states, pounding rain, violent winds into the ninth and through tomorrow. Davor's heat in the triple digits. Lee Goldberg is tracking it all. Hours after president Trump threatened a major escalation in the war in Iran, his sudden about face calling off new military strikes. The president now says a deal with Iran could be in place as early as this weekend. Rachel Scott reports from the White House. The images coming in a series explosions level a home and rock an entire neighborhood.

1:10:43 A massive fireball, at least nine homes damaged.

1:10:47 Tonight, the chilling political assassination that stunned the country, the accused killer admitting to the attacks, pleading guilty to murdering a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, and critically wounding a state senator and his wife. President Trump announces his nominee for the next director of national intelligence

1:11:03 amid bipartisan backlash over who will fill the role on an acting basis. Angry lawmakers leave town without approving a key spy tool.

1:11:11 Here in New York, celebrations get out of control after the Knicks' historic comeback against the Spurs in game four of the NBA finals. Dozens of fans arrested.

1:11:21 Some throwing eggs at Spurs star Victor Wenbonyama outside the team's hotel.

1:11:25 Tonight, the urgent warning about a growing criminal trend. Authorities say teenagers are being recruited online for violent crimes, including killings, bombings, and abductions.

1:11:35 Man. Video shows the moment one police officer mistakenly

1:11:38 is shot by another. The police chief is calling it horseplay.

1:11:42 The World Cup now officially underway.

1:11:45 Dolly Parton launches her own coffee line, a famous song inspiring the name of her brand,

1:11:50 and the miracle comeback. After being down 29

1:11:54 points against the Spurs, the faces of the Knicks fans tell the story.

1:11:59 Wow.

1:12:01 Is NBC News. World Headquarters in New York. Okay. This is World News Tonight.

1:12:07 Alright. David New York. Interim review.

1:12:10 Just

1:12:11 as I was getting upset, I was going to say where is the human interest story, which is typically

1:12:18 lost puppy found,

1:12:19 a kitten in the tree,

1:12:22 something that warms your heart. We got Dolly Parton. Well, we got the Knicks. So, you know, after we had the Knicks destroy the city, then we had They did the Knicks twice in this tees. But they did a the horrible story and then the kind of uplifting story. Everyone likes an uplifting sports story. What caught my ear was Dolly Parton's coffee brand based upon a famous song. I have not heard it, but I'm just guessing. Is the song Jolene and she sings caffeine?

1:12:48 No.

1:12:49 Oh. It's funny though. The caffeine.

1:12:52 Caffeine. Caffeine. I love yeah. I used see. That's what I would have done if I were naming her coffee. So they get they covered pretty much everything except where's Elon Musk's trillionaire?

1:13:03 No. It's not in there. Good catch. It's not in there. No. Wait. This was from Friday night. Yeah. This is all from Friday. Should have been in after the trillionaire thing happened. Should have been in there. Should have been in there. Okay. Which is next?

1:13:15 Well, let's go to the next longest one, which should be,

1:13:18 NBC.

1:13:20 Breaking news as we come on the air. Breaking news. President Trump's They also as we come on the air. This I don't think I've heard him say that in two different reports.

1:13:29 And we need to start doing They're all doing this. As we come on the air here for your pod.

1:13:33 Breaking news as we come on the air. President Trump saying a deal with Iran could be signed as soon as this weekend. The president announcing the deal is almost finalized and that he's called off another round of strikes set for tonight. What Iran is now saying about this deal? Tornadoes tearing across the Midwest,

1:13:53 one ripping the roof off this home. Pool chairs flying off a Chicago rooftop crashing right into traffic.

1:14:00 The threat now pushing east. Al Roker standing by for us. These images just in of a deadly plane crash into a home in Ohio.

1:14:09 Golf star Phil Mickelson

1:14:11 removed from his longtime club as a new report says he was accused of inappropriate

1:14:17 contact with a female employee. His team's denial tonight.

1:14:21 Shocking dashcam video showing a police officer

1:14:28 is court's own.

1:14:33 Court's

1:14:39 ir

1:14:43 important

1:14:45 health system. System.

1:14:48 The

1:14:50 is

1:14:51 health the

1:14:53 Giant numbers,

1:14:54 eighty six forty seven imprinted onto the grass.

1:14:59 Is it a signal against president Trump?

1:15:01 White House cage match, our first up close look at the octagon

1:15:06 ahead of the big UFC fight this weekend.

1:15:09 And there's good news tonight. The biggest comeback in NBA finals history,

1:15:14 sending famous fans like Jimmy Fallon,

1:15:16 Larry David, even Taylor Swift into a frenzy. Nightly news

1:15:22 starts right now.

1:15:24 This is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas.

1:15:28 Okay. Analysis here. I love how their their music bed has so much tension when it starts off,

1:15:35 But but they don't have like like ABC had and cymbals and crash and they had Nat Pops and all kinds of stuff. And after you hear the Well, they did they did have a couple Nat Pops during the tornadoes thing where where you heard someone in the background and say, oh god. Yeah. Yeah. Some of that. But it after what happens is

1:15:55 the

1:15:57 the the music bed gets in the way of that at a certain point because it it it if you if you can't continuously be telling me

1:16:04 destruction, we're all gonna die, we're coming on this news at this hour to I mean, then it gets boring and then you kind of lose interest

1:16:12 and they should have shifted the music when he says, and now some good news, you

1:16:16 know, do something different there. So that's just my opinion as a television producer.

1:16:21 Oh, they did have they did have the World Cup mentioned, which Yeah. ABC did not mention. Yes. That's correct. Yeah. Which is good news. No Elon.

1:16:31 And they did not have Elon? No. No Elon. Yo, Elon.

1:16:35 Yes. So we have,

1:16:37 so so you can see there's a slight difference. So the editorial

1:16:41 room where they make these decisions,

1:16:44 is varied enough that it it's kind of entertaining to try to see what what one like, the Phil Mickelson story

1:16:51 was not in the, ABC report and there's no place else. Yamas Medicare breakdown.

1:16:57 And Yamas doesn't have that intensity.

1:17:01 I like Yamas. Yeah. But I'm just saying,

1:17:04 if I would have said take this back, recut it, boys, it's not good enough. Now CBS, I haven't heard these obviously.

1:17:10 CBS has been really good with with quick

1:17:14 Nat Pops and quick words

1:17:16 from people in their reports. So I'm curious about their their They're opener. Their opener. And do are they coming on the air at this moment?

1:17:24 We'll find out. Good evening. I'm Matt Gutman in for Tony DeCopol.

1:17:31 Tonight, a standoff and a shooting. At least one person killed and 10 wounded in West West Texas. The shooter also dead or live from the scene.

1:17:41 Tornadoes

1:17:42 tear through the Midwest. Come

1:17:44 on. Come on. The moment a storm chaser saved a man trapped under the rubble of a closed house, tens of millions in the path of potentially dangerous storms and brutal heat.

1:17:54 SpaceX blasting off in an historic

1:17:57 stock IPO,

1:17:58 making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire.

1:18:01 Why some are concerned about the

1:18:03 wealth and power in one person's hands.

1:18:07 That possible peace deal with Iran looking more likely tonight. Iran says an agreement has never been closer. But will it actually happen? What the president is warning tonight.

1:18:18 World Cup fever spikes. US men's team facing off tonight against Paraguay.

1:18:23 Katy Perry starting the party at the opening ceremony.

1:18:27 And Steve Hartman on the road with twin sisters not related by blood,

1:18:33 but by bond. We have a bond that we think no one else can break.

1:18:38 From CBS News headquarters in New York, this is the CBS AB News with Tony DeCobalt. Okay. Bad start because they didn't come on the air at this moment. Very bad. Poor. They should have at least replicated that.

1:18:52 I agree. I love how they brought in early

1:18:55 early they whipsawed you by saying, you know, destruction, tornadoes, how a storm chaser saved somebody's life. Yeah. Okay. I'm interested. Then they went into Elon. Good. And then immediately contrasted

1:19:08 that with he might have too much power. But then what was this with the twins at the end? The whole thing fell apart.

1:19:15 What was that story? It was That the their story at the end is the, human interest story,

1:19:21 which they tease. Only ABC and CBS tease the human interest today because they NBC usually does, but they didn't on,

1:19:29 on Friday.

1:19:31 It's just a lame story. Steve Hartman is the guy that, you know, is like Charles Carrol used to be on the road,

1:19:39 and he's out you know, Charles Carrol, of course, had two families,

1:19:43 famously.

1:19:44 Yes. And he was on the road so he could go,

1:19:48 which was just Honey, I'm home.

1:19:51 I'm home, honey. I gotta go on the road again.

1:19:55 Can you imagine? There's a lot of people like that though. You keep hearing the I guess. It seems like a lot of work. Yeah.

1:20:03 Yes. It seems like way too much Way too much. One family is more than I need. Thank you.

1:20:08 So

1:20:10 I just thought it didn't but it didn't it missed a lot. It didn't have anything about the Knicks. No.

1:20:16 Didn't have anything about It was weak. It was very weak. But we had the main story. The main stories were, I thought Tornado. Musk,

1:20:24 Tornado,

1:20:25 Iran.

1:20:26 Those are the it's the three big ones and then World Cup is optional.

1:20:31 I I I don't know. CBS was the worst of the I really thought ABC was the best. Even though it was long,

1:20:38 it I thought it was the best. I they really packed I thought it was the best too except that it left the Elon off.

1:20:44 So let's listen to the top of the show on MS now, shall we? Because this is the one story that none of your three by threes or two by twos even had and that is this. And for that, we switch to circle back sake.

1:20:57 So this was the crowd that gathered outside of the Kennedy Center this morning to watch as workers set up scaffolding to strip Trump's name from the building. No one had Trump's name being stripped from the building. There were people out there watching

1:21:09 at night standing there waiting waiting

1:21:12 waiting for this. Clap. Yes. Online, literally millions of people, we've talked about this already, watched the livestreams for hours, which is remarkable. Live stream. Action they were watching was basically

1:21:23 scaffolding being built.

1:21:25 Now in person, there were cheers, there was a drag queen, there were bubbles. Who says DC isn't fun? Right. We have lots of fun people here. It look Why

1:21:33 why do deaf lefties, I wanna call her Democrats, but why will lefties

1:21:38 always associate arts with drag queens and bubbles

1:21:42 and rainbows?

1:21:43 Why?

1:21:45 It it's it annoys me. It really does. It annoys me. It's like Yeah. I guess it would. It would annoy anybody.

1:21:52 Likely scaffolding being built.

1:21:55 Now in person, there were cheers. There was a drag queen. There were bubbles. Who says DC isn't fun? We have lots of fun people here. It looked like quite the party. People.

1:22:02 And there to celebrate her victory was Democratic congresswoman from Ohio, Joyce Beatty. You you see, the reason any of this is really happening today is because Joyce Beatty is on the board of the Kennedy Center. And when Trump's new appointees to that board added his name to the center, she sued,

1:22:16 arguing that legally

1:22:18 an act of congress was required to rename the building. And last month, a judge agreed with her saying, quote, congress gave the Kennedy Center its name and only congress can change it. The judge ordered Trump's name be stripped from the building by tonight. And yesterday, the Trump appointed leadership at the Kennedy Center tried to get that decision paused. Then this morning, the judge denied that request saying Trump's name had to go. And then this afternoon, after the scaffolding had been built and workers were ready to start peeling off Trump's name, the Trump appointed leadership at the Kennedy Center tried again. They appealed the decision. Tonight, that appeal was rejected. And I kid you not I kid after you that final appeal was rejected, a literal rainbow

1:22:57 appeared across

1:22:59 the Kennedy Center. A double rainbow, actually.

1:23:03 Oh,

1:23:04 the gay god approves.

1:23:07 This is this is

1:23:09 Man.

1:23:10 That is pathetic. It's pathetic. Talk about banal.

1:23:14 So this

1:23:17 beady woman, she's the one that sued over this. Everybody, all the cable news Is she the trans gender?

1:23:23 Is she?

1:23:24 I don't know. Not as one in congress. It might be. Let's see what she has to say. Why do you think he keeps focusing on these things?

1:23:31 I I think,

1:23:32 it's because it's who he is. I think that having this role has made him

1:23:39 to himself.

1:23:40 This is a vanity project. Wait. Having this role has made him to himself.

1:23:46 She's What?

1:23:47 I think So that she's illiterate whoever she is. Listen to her. I think that having this role

1:23:54 has made him

1:23:56 to himself.

1:23:57 Woah.

1:23:58 Ding ding ding ding ding. Hold on a second.

1:24:03 This is a vanity project for him. All the gold in the White House tearing down historical

1:24:11 rooms and venues that have What? Been

1:24:16 Tearing down historical rooms and venues that have been there?

1:24:20 She is she is captured, man. She's captured by something that it's not based in reality. Tearing down

1:24:27 historical rooms and venues that have been there and putting what I think he calls his trademark

1:24:34 on it.

1:24:35 So I think it's all about him that he wants people to always remember that he was there, not what he did, not how he fought for the country,

1:24:44 and not how he stood up for our democracy and the rule of law. He wants to be a dictatorship,

1:24:50 and that's what dictators do. He wants to be a dictatorship.

1:24:54 Doesn't wanna be a dictator. He wants to be a dictatorship. A dictatorship

1:24:57 altogether.

1:24:59 And then we wind it out with the Miz Now crew. I'm listening to him. I I wrote down here split screen. I keep going back to,

1:25:06 the reporting

1:25:07 of Susie Wiles, chief the of staff, basically

1:25:11 saying

1:25:12 to everyone in the administration, listen.

1:25:15 Let Trump be Trump,

1:25:17 but you guys relentlessly focus on the economy.

1:25:21 At what point will someone realize, perhaps the chief of staff, that having that kind of split screen

1:25:28 in in any White House, but particularly this White House,

1:25:32 is what's fueling

1:25:34 this anger because you can't have the president of The United States with the biggest megaphone

1:25:39 out there with his gladiator fight. I'm so glad you said that. The gladiator fight on the South Lawn and saying in the Oval Office, I love the inflation.

1:25:48 And meanwhile, people can't buy gas. They they're having trouble meeting meeting their payments. At what point will the White House say, you know what? We need a unifying mess unified message here or strategy.

1:26:05 Do people That's want the k part guy. No. Is that the k part guy or was that Yeah. That was k part. Can't tell if it's k part or the guy with the fro. I can't tell with the It's hard to tell No. It's the k part.

1:26:16 Thought the the

1:26:18 trendy Oahu Oahuagua

1:26:21 killing

1:26:22 Nino

1:26:23 Guerrero. I thought that got underplayed a lot.

1:26:27 Well, before you before you drift over there, I have a couple of clips that since you played out an idiot.

1:26:32 Yeah. Oh.

1:26:34 Oh, boy. Oh, listen to him catch the cue. Wow. Well, that's because the troll room was already doing over unders on these clips.

1:26:46 That's good. I think if you could do Calci bets, will Dvorak play a whatever girls clip?

1:26:52 I have two whatever girls clip for today's show. Man.

1:26:56 I could have made a killing.

1:26:57 You could have made a killing. Yeah. Yeah. On the on the prop bed business. Yes.

1:27:03 And because that, you know, we just played a dummy, so let's hear these these women who What are saying as future representatives

1:27:10 of our country is who we're going to listen Yes.

1:27:13 The girls who some of them did not really pay much attention in grammar school. Okay.

1:27:20 Should I go? Is that is that the cue? Yeah. Five. How many planets are in our solar system? Oh, goodness.

1:27:28 Nine.

1:27:30 Like, 25.

1:27:31 Okay.

1:27:32 Like, currently? I do kinda like how when they say something stupid, the guy goes, okay.

1:27:38 Yeah. Yeah. That's a good that's a good bit. Okay. Okay.

1:27:42 Like, currently? A

1:27:44 hundred years ago.

1:27:45 Yes.

1:27:46 Currently. Currently. 11. The government building the Pentagon is what shape?

1:27:52 Like the pyramid.

1:27:53 It's like a pyramid.

1:27:58 Mexico?

1:27:59 Like Spain.

1:28:00 That's not too far from Tel Aviv. How many months are in a year, Gemma? Fifteen.

1:28:06 Twelve, sometimes thirteen. It really just depends on if we have a leap year. Yeah. Said 15.

1:28:10 12, sometimes 13. Weird, like, Greek, ancient Greek calendar or some shit. How many sides does triangle have?

1:28:18 Oh, that's a real hard one. Four?

1:28:20 What country gifted the Statue Of Liberty to The United States starting with you? Tel Aviv.

1:28:25 That's not a country mother. No. That actually was Italy.

1:28:29 England.

1:28:30 Again,

1:28:32 I remain this is a national security issue.

1:28:36 These these children cannot be walking around the streets. They need to be educated right away. And it's not the

1:28:43 it's not that they don't know the facts, you know, these these trivia questions.

1:28:47 It's how they bounce around guessing on stuff and and and Yeah. It

1:28:52 that's a great observation.

1:28:54 Yes. Because in fact, they get into an argument. One of them says, well, it's thirteen to thirteen months in a year depending on whether it's a leap year.

1:29:02 Where do you get that?

1:29:04 And the other one says, no. It's fifteen months in a year. You don't know how many months there are in a year. Tel Aviv.

1:29:11 And Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv. How does that get in their brain?

1:29:16 Though this is what happens when you doom scroll all day and just stuff just sticks there like Tel Aviv. Okay. Yeah. Scroll scroll scroll scroll. The nine planets, scroll, scroll. I'm I'm surprised no one said,

1:29:30 third rock from the sun is Mars because that was a good TV show.

1:29:35 This is

1:29:37 Yeah. The third rock from the sun, of course

1:29:41 Yes. Is Earth.

1:29:43 Well, no. That but that's this is what I expect them to say. You did see something like that. Yeah. Sure.

1:29:49 Okay. Let's go to the next one. Let's more uplifting clips from uplifting

1:29:53 clips.

1:29:54 Name three countries besides The USA starting with you. Texas,

1:29:59 Mexico,

1:30:01 England,

1:30:02 Israel,

1:30:03 Europe. I also have to say, I don't know Texas too. How many continents are there? Four.

1:30:08 Six. One. Name one continent.

1:30:26 13.

1:30:26 What is the capital of The USA, Gemma?

1:30:30 Of The USA? Yeah.

1:30:34 Like British Columbia.

1:30:37 That's just like

1:30:39 Now they're just being silly.

1:30:41 Now they're being silly. Would were they in hot pants?

1:30:45 It was like No. They never show their their overall attire just as the waist up. Unless

1:30:51 they get up and get or get thrown off the show. And this is why

1:30:56 don't they ever get dumb boys? Are boys not stupid like this? Is this only women?

1:31:02 Oh, they they could some

1:31:04 women could do a there's not all the women are I mean, they have a he has a bunch of women on his side of the of the dais, basically, that that are Right. Smart, and they're condemning these girls constantly.

1:31:16 There was a good debate recently where one of them says, how how do you ever expect to get married? You don't even know. And she just blathered

1:31:23 nails her with all her stupidities.

1:31:26 And the girl it's just just it's a weird

1:31:28 show. It's too long to watch.

1:31:30 I warn you, my friend. I warn you. This is contagious.

1:31:34 Don't watch too much of clips from their feed. Don't watch too much of this. Because the feed get has has these occasional

1:31:42 q and a's, which I think are just man on the street stuff Mhmm. Which is always good for a laugh. And but it's it's the board it border like you said, it border borderlines on national security issue.

1:31:54 I'd

1:31:55 vote for him. No problem.

1:31:58 So Tulsi Gabbard made a statement.

1:32:01 Oh, yeah. This was great. Which I I clipped it down to three bite sized bits so it was about three minutes. Talks a long long. And

1:32:10 she you know what she misses?

1:32:12 She I mean, it could have been AI. I actually had the robot check it out. She's very AI robotic. That's the problem. She doesn't have a lot of impact when when she I mean, she'd be saying,

1:32:23 a 120 US funded bio labs in 30 countries, people. This insane what's going on. No. Instead After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files,

1:32:34 today I'm releasing new evidence of long standing US government funding

1:32:38 of more than a 120 bio labs in over 30 countries.

1:32:42 Now these bio labs include labs in places like Ukraine,

1:32:46 which could be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia Ukraine war.

1:32:50 In fact, the intelligence community had previously warned that a US funded bio lab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens

1:32:59 and remained vulnerable to long standing threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage. Part of the problem here is that we know all this. This was this when we were talk we were talking about this years ago.

1:33:11 Like, oh, yeah. Then the Russians is, you know, you gotta be careful. They can blow up these bio labs. What kind of files did we have to unearth to prove this?

1:33:20 It

1:33:21 wasn't proved. It was it never was proved. It was just, you know, there there's conspiracy theorists who are out there talking about it. Podcasters. But the White House was when Jen Psaki was she

1:33:33 she there's actually clips of her saying, no. There's no we don't do any of that. This is bullcrap. This is a conspiracy theory by a bunch of right wing nuts.

1:33:42 I'm trying to see what clips we had about bio labs.

1:33:49 But yeah, there was a couple of nasty ones in Ukraine.

1:33:52 Yeah.

1:33:54 Let me see.

1:33:58 What do we have here? This is interesting. What is this?

1:34:02 So here are the facts.

1:34:04 Ukraine owns and operates its own public health laboratory infrastructure.

1:34:10 These facilities make it possible to detect and diagnose diseases. Who is this? Do you can you tell by the voice? I can barely hear it. You gotta turn up a little bit. It's The US.

1:34:22 I think it's the black woman who was the ambassador to the United Nations. Like COVID nineteen,

1:34:27 which benefit us all,

1:34:29 The United States has assisted Ukraine

1:34:32 to do this safely and securely.

1:34:35 This is work that has been done proudly,

1:34:38 clearly,

1:34:39 and out in the open.

1:34:41 This work has everything to do with protecting

1:34:44 the health of people. It has absolutely

1:34:47 nothing

1:34:48 absolutely nothing to do with biological weapons. And then we have a clip from Lavrov.

1:34:53 Might have might have well, paid attention to him back in the day. It has arrived there, and we had data, and we have data that Pentagon

1:35:01 the Pentagon is preoccupied

1:35:03 about the chemical and biological

1:35:06 installations

1:35:07 in Ukraine because Pentagon built two biological

1:35:12 war labs and they have been developing pathogens there.

1:35:17 Alright. So we didn't believe that either. Although we did because we thought, oh, dude. Yeah. Did. We did. But because it's logical.

1:35:23 It's what you do. You don't You don't have to be a genius to add two and two.

1:35:28 So here's the second part of Tulsi's statement which should have been, these

1:35:34 idiots

1:35:35 were building gain of function labs. They were doing gain of function hidden from the public despite

1:35:41 despite the laws Illegal gain of function. Let's get that word in there. Despite executive

1:35:46 orders, it was completely illegal. But no. Here's Tulsi. Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories

1:35:54 had been knowingly withheld from you, the American people. Many of these US government funded bio labs are currently From you, the American people. Or have previously engaged Terrible. It's like like they withheld this from you. This is dangerous. Can you believe these a holes? They they withheld it from you. Many

1:36:13 of these US government funded bio labs are currently or have previously engaged in research

1:36:20 using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens,

1:36:23 and in some cases included dangerous gain of function research

1:36:27 with very little visibility or oversight.

1:36:30 Now president Trump clearly understands the serious threat dangerous gain of function research poses to the American people. People. And this is why he took decisive action over a year ago. On 05/25/2025,

1:36:42 he signed an executive order to end federal funding of gain of function research around the world. Okay. No one cares. They just wanna know that the stuff they're making stuff there in secret that they shouldn't been doing and you could die from it. It could spread across spread across Ukraine, the world, whatever. And Fauci and Biden, they lied to you about it. They lied. Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic

1:37:06 global impact

1:37:08 that research on dangerous pathogens in bio labs can have,

1:37:13 politicians

1:37:14 and so called health professionals like doctor Fauci,

1:37:17 as well as entities within the Biden administration's

1:37:19 national security Entities.

1:37:22 Entities.

1:37:23 She needs to rewrite these scripts. I know she can do it. It's just whoever this is no good. Doctor Fauci,

1:37:30 as well as entities within the Biden administration's

1:37:32 national security team,

1:37:35 lied repeatedly

1:37:36 to the American people about the existence of US funded and supported bio labs. Lied to you. Lied to you. Not the American people, these entities.

1:37:46 I'm an entity on a podcast.

1:37:49 Not only did they lie,

1:37:51 they threatened those who attempted

1:37:53 to expose the truth.

1:37:55 So this release today breaks new ground as the information surrounding the existence,

1:38:00 history, locations,

1:38:02 and funding of these US funded bio labs has been intentionally covered up by very powerful people

1:38:08 who falsely claimed that these bio labs didn't exist. Bio there finally,

1:38:14 a little nuance in her inner speech. These bio labs didn't exist.

1:38:19 So it goes completely unnoticed.

1:38:22 Yeah.

1:38:23 No one does anything with it.

1:38:25 Any of the news rundowns. No. Whatever. Who

1:38:29 cares?

1:38:30 No. It's it's

1:38:33 I appreciate You could have made that the top story.

1:38:36 Easily. And I appreciate that she does all the work, but if you're not gonna,

1:38:41 you know, if you're not really gonna do anything and this is the same with so I'll go back to the trendy

1:38:46 Aragua guy.

1:38:47 This is war on the cartel bosses. This is saying,

1:38:51 hey,

1:38:52 we're gonna kill you. Coming on the air with breaking news that Wow. Coming on the air. With John, this is this is something new that we I'm just catching this now. Coming on the air.

1:39:03 We have we have to going

1:39:05 on for a while. I haven't caught it up until now. Coming on the air with You No Agenda Show. Coming on the air with breaking news that the US military

1:39:12 along with the Venezuelan government has killed the alleged leader of the gang, Trendyaragua.

1:39:18 That's according to president Trump. We wanna show you some newly unclassified

1:39:22 video of a home in Venezuela that president Trump just released on social media. Now the president says this military strike was delivered on the home of Nino Guerrero.

1:39:32 That's the alleged leader of the gang that's been a key target of the president's immigration enforcement

1:39:38 agenda.

1:39:39 Now his truth his post rather on Truth Social notes that, quote, this military action was done with the close coordination of our friends in Venezuela

1:39:48 with whom we are working very well. As a result, Trondayaragua

1:39:52 terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else. And under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drug lords anytime,

1:40:02 any place, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. God bless America,

1:40:08 president Donald j Trump. Now that's a leader. I'm gonna blow you up, bitch.

1:40:13 That's what we're gonna do. Hey, isn't Tulsi, isn't she a surfer?

1:40:18 Yeah. Why does she do it surfer do style? Hey, man. Hey, man. It's a bugger. It's bio labs, man. It's like this is bad

1:40:27 news.

1:40:28 She could have done that. So this is a I think this is a very nice

1:40:33 marker to the drug industry, like we're gonna blow you up.

1:40:37 You're not getting away with it.

1:40:39 Also not in the in the overview.

1:40:43 Not in the rundown, it should have been. No. I I think so. I think it's totally worth it.

1:40:50 I see you brought clips

1:40:52 as well, so I'll let you play yours about Switzerland.

1:40:56 Yeah. This is funny.

1:40:59 It's weird,

1:41:01 but let's yeah. This is the BBC report on Switzerland's

1:41:04 said said to them or they're taking a vote on it. It may not pass

1:41:08 that they're gonna limit their population.

1:41:10 Can a country? Indeed, should a country, try to put a limit on its population size?

1:41:16 For the people of Switzerland,

1:41:17 that's not some abstract question,

1:41:19 but one they're about to vote on. The alpine nation will tomorrow hold a referendum on whether to cap the population at 10,000,000.

1:41:27 Right now, it's 9,000,000,

1:41:29 around a third of whom are foreign residents, and it's very much the issue of foreign residents which is behind Sunday's vote. It was proposed by the right wing Swiss People's Party whose representative Yves Amber Heard made clear that reducing immigration is the aim.

1:41:46 What we want is to protect what we love, to ensure that Switzerland remains a wonderful place to live in. We're not going to eliminate traffic jams overnight,

1:41:54 but this will allow us to adapt road and rail infrastructure and build housing,

1:41:59 but not at a pace that would ultimately prevent us from absorbing this massive influx of people.

1:42:06 Switzerland has long had a large foreign population.

1:42:09 People brought in from abroad to do everything from high level jobs in industry and public services

1:42:15 to manual labor work, which locals aren't prepared to do for the wages available.

1:42:19 Indeed, some there argue that limiting Switzerland's population and thereby limiting immigration

1:42:25 will also put a limit on the economy,

1:42:28 all of which has made tomorrow's referendum very divisive.

1:42:31 According to the Swiss journalist Julia Hamilton, the result is still too close to call. The results are in, in case you're interested or wondering. Should I give you the results after the second clip?

1:42:42 Yeah. Give me the results after the second clip. Right now, the suggestion's that it's gonna be very close. Something like 53%

1:42:50 of people are against and

1:42:52 45% people are for, and, of course, some people are still undecided.

1:42:56 The main concern is that Switzerland's

1:42:58 growing population is is putting pressure on housing.

1:43:02 I myself have spoken to some people who live in Geneva,

1:43:06 housing estates who said that they have to wait for one, three, five, even sometimes up to ten years for an apartment.

1:43:15 And because there are so many people waiting, so it's very difficult to find accommodation.

1:43:20 They're also saying that there was pressure in schools and kindergartens

1:43:23 and then public services and transport.

1:43:25 So people can feel sometimes,

1:43:28 especially in big cities, that there is a problem, but,

1:43:32 of course, the opponents are saying that the problem is not the immigration itself. The problem is that there is no affordable accommodation available. So there are many questions being discussed in the society about this. Many businesses in Switzerland actually employ foreign staff, and they say that this could be a big blow to the economy and the ability to hire foreign workers to fill those jobs that requires foreign talent. It has been likened to a Swiss Brexit in some of the media because this would potentially isolate Switzerland

1:44:02 from the EU.

1:44:03 Because not only that, government would be obliged to take measures once the population reaches 9,500,000.

1:44:10 Then once it reaches 10,000,000,

1:44:12 then the country will be forced to exit the free movement agreement with the EU, and that, of course, would lead to problems with its biggest trade partner, the European Union. So there've been many discussions

1:44:24 about what could happen and and what sort of effects this could have on the economy and relations with its neighbors as well. Yeah. It was interesting. The clips I had, I won't play them.

1:44:34 We're talking about health care, that all the health care workers are foreigners, immigrants.

1:44:39 And Switzerland is an aging country, aging population.

1:44:45 And

1:44:46 they already have their homes, they don't care about the young people, they don't not motivating the young people to have babies,

1:44:52 and they just wanna be taken care of by slaves.

1:44:55 And so,

1:44:56 they voted it down.

1:44:59 The referendum did not pass.

1:45:02 That makes sense. Yeah. But they're being overrun with the same problem every other European almost every other European country has

1:45:11 in the EU,

1:45:12 and that is they're they're letting

1:45:14 immigrants in, giving them homes, giving them

1:45:18 allowances,

1:45:19 nothing to do, hang out here.

1:45:22 You know, it's it's a purposeful destruction of the European Union for the people. For the elites, it's no problem because they'll have a completely controllable

1:45:31 population.

1:45:32 They control their money. Be the And it the the the methodology

1:45:37 to do this, which is the like you said, to discourage

1:45:40 babies and families and and the rest of it. And and

1:45:45 also to to do what Belfast,

1:45:48 of course, where they had this this Sudanese guy tried to chop some guy's head off Yeah. And blunt they blinded him and whatever happened, there was a bunch of riots.

1:45:57 Well, as you would expect because the

1:46:00 forces of, countervailence,

1:46:02 the Soros people and others put together some, some

1:46:08 Some gruesome some people. Some coats.

1:46:10 Complainers. And here we have the Belfast anti fascist riots.

1:46:14 3,000 people have attended an anti racism rally in Belfast in Northern Ireland following days of riots triggered by a serious knife attack. Demonstrators held banners reading refugees welcome and riots don't speak for Belfast.

1:46:28 The riots, dubbed racist thuggery by a British minister, saw people singled out on the basis of their skin color with some forced into hiding. A Sudanese man is charged with attempted murder over the stabbing. Man.

1:46:42 Yeah. That's beautiful. It's great. It's really good. It's good. It's really really good.

1:46:49 FISA went Welcome.

1:46:51 FISA went dark on Friday, so we're no longer being spied on.

1:46:57 Yeah. Right. One of our one of our producers has a boots on the ground of disclosure day.

1:47:03 Did you see that? I'll

1:47:04 read it real quick. This is Mike,

1:47:08 boots on the ground here in Minneapolis Saint Paul. My wife and I saw a disclosure day tonight. Now I want to file this report from the field. Coming on the air with a report from the field is Mike from in from the Twin Cities Of Minneapolis Saint Paul. First off, this movie was a dud.

1:47:23 Dud good.

1:47:24 The writing was scattered. It moved between cerebral sci fi to car chase to campy philosophical

1:47:31 monologues and then back again so quickly and abruptly that anything resembling a plot line was lost halfway through the effort. This is this is our our version of Siskel and Ebert.

1:47:41 And there were religious themes of faith and our lot in the universe

1:47:45 that were thrown in your face and simultaneously so completely out of place that I could not help but start to laugh out loud in the theater from sheer confusion.

1:47:54 By far the worst movie Spielberg has ever made. Whatever suspense might have been created by the release of the UAP footage released by the Trump admin a few months back was expeditiously

1:48:04 squandered by this b movie masquerading

1:48:07 as a summer blockbuster.

1:48:09 I'm afraid the payoff after months of speculation was an unmitigated

1:48:13 disappointment,

1:48:14 assuming one had any hopes for this film at all. Thank you for your courage. It's Mike from the field.

1:48:21 There you go. Excellent report. That's the kind of report that that is valuable right there.

1:48:26 Yeah. It'll save people a lot of money. It costs a fortune to go to the theater nowadays.

1:48:31 Wait for it to come out on Netflix and you can turn it off halfway through. Yeah. So Tina was in Vegas the past couple of days with her sister.

1:48:39 They went to go see Gwen Stefani at the Sphere.

1:48:42 And so Phoebe and I were here home alone. I'm like, know, let me watch something crazy. Something I would never watch. John Wick four.

1:48:51 That's something you'd never watch. No. No. I'd never watch. And I watched the whole thing. I'm like, this is dumb.

1:48:59 It

1:49:00 it's so imp he Keanu Reeves kills

1:49:03 200

1:49:04 people,

1:49:05 never a scratch on him until the duel at the last moment.

1:49:09 You know, you got a blind guy who can kill everybody just by smelling him. This whole and it's just it's dumb.

1:49:17 It's so dumb.

1:49:21 It's it's not I find the John Wick movies quite enjoyable. Did you see John Wick four? Did you see the fourth one?

1:49:27 I may or may not have. They're all the same. Well, this is the worst of the of the of the four. I've seen other ones.

1:49:35 This is like, no, this is no good.

1:49:38 And everybody has to be shot in the head. You you throw the guy in the ground then you shoot him in the head. Otherwise, he's not dead. Like, you know, the guys Well, we know that's true. Yeah. But it's just like shoot him in the head. I'll shoot him in the head. Shoot him in the head. Shoot him in the head. I don't know. And and he has endless supply of ammo.

1:49:56 Endless, I tell you.

1:49:58 It never ends.

1:50:00 Yeah. Reload again. Reload again. And then new mag.

1:50:03 Reload again.

1:50:04 Endless supply, it's amazing.

1:50:07 So there you go. Okay. So let's jump to a scandal.

1:50:12 Okay.

1:50:13 There's a TV show called Married

1:50:16 at First Sight.

1:50:18 What is the premise of this? The premise is you the the it's a reality TV show. There's a version in England. There's a version in I think there's a version in The United States. There's a version in Australia, is controversial.

1:50:31 Do you take two people and you and you marry them?

1:50:34 Oh,

1:50:35 without them ever having met before? Pretty much.

1:50:38 Is

1:50:39 this a Dana Brunetti production?

1:50:42 No.

1:50:43 Dana's, I think, a little got more

1:50:47 savvy than that, but here we go. As we say in the old country, he he has

1:50:52 more in his Mars. I'm not sure why they say that, but here we go. The revelations about Australia's married at first sight comes just weeks after damning allegations were made about The UK version of the program

1:51:04 with two participants saying they were raped by the men they were partnered with, allegations the men involved have denied.

1:51:10 The Australian version is made by a different production company and broadcast on a different channel. Both insist there are strong protocols in place to ensure participant safety.

1:51:20 Here's our culture correspondent,

1:51:22 Noor Nanjee. This is a huge hit in Australia. Of course, we've been mentioning that The UK version of Married at First Sight has been facing

1:51:31 intense scrutiny ever since our panorama came out a month ago. But now there are fresh questions for the Australian

1:51:37 version too following this new investigation we have done, and we heard from several cast members who told us that they felt unsafe after being matched

1:51:46 with men with criminal past, which crucially, they were not told about. Now we should reiterate that the broadcaster in Australia, which is channel nine, and also Endymol Shine Australia, which is the production company for that version,

1:51:58 have said that they have strong protocols in place to protect participants and to ensure safety and well-being.

1:52:05 But I think today's story should be seen against the context of what this show is all about. Married at First Sight Australia by its very nature is a show that involves strangers meeting up, being sent on honeymoon,

1:52:17 moving in together, building a life together,

1:52:19 sharing a bed together. And it is given that context,

1:52:23 women say to us, they said that they should have been fully informed about the men that they were being partnered with ahead of the show. One woman that we spoke to said, you shouldn't be left alone with a stranger with a criminal record, and she added that there should have been informed consent.

1:52:42 Here's how There you go. There's there's culture at its best. Here's how reality shows work.

1:52:47 You put two or more people in a room together with cameras

1:52:51 and you add alcohol.

1:52:53 That's how that's how it works. Yeah. That's how it works. That's how it works. So did you see Carney's New World Order speech?

1:53:01 No. Yeah. So Carney

1:53:04 Do you have it? Yeah. I do. I have four clips of it, not the whole thing.

1:53:09 How long did it go? Was it a long speech? Oh, was eight minutes.

1:53:13 Too long. Too long. And

1:53:16 I actually gave it to the robot and said, cut all the silences. Robot did a pretty good job because I couldn't it was too much. Like, I'm never gonna play these clips if I have to cut out every single silence. It'll take me hours.

1:53:28 So I was happy about that.

1:53:29 So he's a little he's a little more animated than it really was. Pretty good. You got the robot to do something. Yeah. Robot is Robot's a good robot.

1:53:38 So in a way so his whole

1:53:41 the premise here is America bad, Trump really bad,

1:53:46 not trustworthy,

1:53:48 those guys suck.

1:53:49 We're gonna do we're gonna reboot everything,

1:53:52 our own way with the European Union,

1:53:55 and we're kinda gonna do what Trump is doing, but we're gonna do it for us. And this is an urgent task now because the world

1:54:02 is changing rapidly.

1:54:04 Ireland and Canada

1:54:06 are navigating

1:54:07 a global rupture, not a quiet transition.

1:54:11 The post Cold War world rules based order is breaking down. Multilateral institutions have weakened.

1:54:18 Economic integration from which we have benefited is being weaponized.

1:54:23 The international trading system, which we've relied upon for decades, is under threat. And at the same time,

1:54:31 new technologies from artificial intelligence to cyber and quantum Quantum. Changing the nature of the war, the structure of economies, and the possibilities of human advancement.

1:54:41 Climate change is no longer a warning. It's here. It's here. Last month, as you know and you felt,

1:54:47 Ireland experienced its hottest May on record. Ever. Oh, no. In Canada last year, forests larger

1:54:54 than Ireland burned in the drought and heat. By arsonists. Global conflicts are expanding and evolving. They're more than kinetic, as horrible as that is. They're economic, they're social, they're technological.

1:55:07 Canada,

1:55:08 Ireland, and Europe are increasingly

1:55:10 and more immediately vulnerable to once distant threats. It's very interesting he throws Ireland in there every single time because he wants to bring them back into the fold. They got fighters over there. So alright. So just so you know, with Canada, with Ireland, and with the EU, we are bigger than you.

1:55:27 I suggest

1:55:29 that admits this change, admits this disruption,

1:55:33 Canada, Ireland, and Europe

1:55:35 can be pivotal,

1:55:36 powerful, and purposeful. Pivotal Powerful. And purposeful.

1:55:40 Pivotal

1:55:41 because we are

1:55:43 the most connected region in the world What? To each other and to others. Canada has 16 free trade agreements

1:55:51 with 51 countries covering one and a half billion people,

1:55:56 two thirds of global GDP.

1:55:58 And we're on course to double that market access this year. We're big. The EU

1:56:04 maintains preferential access to over 80 partner countries,

1:56:08 making it the top trading

1:56:10 partner

1:56:11 for 80 nations globally.

1:56:13 Together, we are powerful

1:56:15 because we have the capacity to act together.

1:56:18 Combined,

1:56:20 the population is more than twice that of The United States.

1:56:24 We have a larger cultural export

1:56:27 industry and a more diverse one, might add, similarly sized GDP

1:56:31 comparable

1:56:32 r and d spend.

1:56:34 Our collective defense budget's twice that of China's. We're home

1:56:38 to the majority of the world's top 100 universities

1:56:43 and over half of the world's Nobel Prize winners.

1:56:46 Uh-huh. So together,

1:56:47 we are one of the largest economic,

1:56:50 cultural,

1:56:50 technological Wait. Hold on a financial

1:56:54 I just wanna do it. I was just doing the math on the fly. Yeah. With twice the population, as he says Mhmm. They only have half the Nobel Prize winners. Where's the other group? Well, I guess some is in China, but most of The United States.

1:57:06 And then he has some other some other

1:57:09 almost half of the great universities, where's the rest of them? So we have half the population and twice as many great universities

1:57:17 per capita.

1:57:20 He's just throwing away these numbers. If you start looking at them on a per capita basis, we're kicking ass. Yes.

1:57:26 Well, so now now we get to the Trump bit. We're gonna do what Trump is doing, but he sucks.

1:57:32 Now because

1:57:34 over decades,

1:57:35 governments and businesses

1:57:37 prioritized efficiency over resilience,

1:57:40 we all have developed supply chains and trading relationships

1:57:44 that create dependencies,

1:57:46 that can turn economic integration from an advantage, which is what it was, into

1:57:51 subordination.

1:57:52 And so Canada's strategic imperative

1:57:55 is to build sovereign capabilities and resiliencies in these key areas.

1:58:01 That starts at home. We're fast tracking a trillion dollars of investment in energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors.

1:58:08 We're investing to double our clean electricity grid. We're investing in quantum. We're building our food security.

1:58:16 Pretty much the same thing we're doing except we well, I guess we're doing the dumb quantum too.

1:58:22 And so what is he gonna do? I

1:58:25 just crack up when I think about it. There's no evidence that they can get these things to work. You mean quantum?

1:58:31 Yeah. No. Quantum does fun little little games and stuff, snake. Alright. Here we go. Last quiz. But we recognize a second principle, that building true sovereignty cannot be achieved in isolation.

1:58:43 It requires diversification.

1:58:44 It requires partnership.

1:58:46 Cannot be done in isolation. Wait. Hold on a second. What's the logic here? Sovereignty in isolation?

1:58:51 Of course, sovereignty is isolation.

1:58:55 This guy's a banker,

1:58:57 and he's he's upset. True sovereignty cannot be achieved in isolation.

1:59:02 It requires diversification.

1:59:04 It requires partnership.

1:59:06 And so

1:59:07 we are focused on building a dense web of connections,

1:59:11 said another way, ad hoc coalitions that work issue by issue with partners that share enough common ground to act together.

1:59:19 And that's why Canada was the first non European country to join the EU's

1:59:25 safe defense procurement program. War. It's why we've signed

1:59:30 20 new economic and security agreements over five continents in the past year. It's why we're championing efforts to build a bridge between

1:59:40 the Trans Pacific Partnership and the European Union Oh, yeah. Something that would create a trading block of 1 and a half billion. Down about five Oh, sorry. Sorry. Messed that up. Yeah. So,

1:59:52 you know, we're we're gonna it's gonna all happen to EU. EU and Canada. We're gonna take care of it. We're gonna take care of you citizens. Don't worry about it. You're good. It's all good. It's always all be okay. We need to put more Canadian news in the show.

2:00:06 Yeah. As seeing as it will soon be just part of American news,

2:00:10 I'm still hopeful.

2:00:13 That ain't gonna happen, but there's definitely causing issues.

2:00:18 There's something up.

2:00:20 With Canada, well, the what's up is that

2:00:22 Trump has blown everything apart. He doesn't he wants to renegotiate NAFTA

2:00:27 or the I'm sorry, it's not NAFTA. What is the Well, they changed the name, but it's basically NAFTA. Yeah.

2:00:33 It's up for negotiation. They changed it to Nambla.

2:00:37 With something else. Never mind. With that, I'd like to thank you for your cards. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the c in, what does the c actually stand for? Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only,

2:01:04 talking about. 1681.

2:01:06 If only every one of the people listening to the show live

2:01:10 would send us, like, a little donation.

2:01:13 Yes. We have less than 30

2:01:16 donations over 50 today. Less than with the And 20

2:01:19 it's wonderful that people, you know, come in with Red Knight donations but, you know, you can give $5.

2:01:25 Yeah. You you really can. If you value if even especially if you're listening all the way through up till this point, you should consider returning the value

2:01:33 for the value that you receive. And I think we once again, we have delivered.

2:01:38 With John's Noise Makers alone, we have delivered. There you go. It's all it's all on deck.

2:01:45 Best stop. The people listening now are either listening through noagendastream.com

2:01:51 or one of the modern podcast apps. Podverse is really popular. Looks at the numbers the other day. The the share the share of apps.

2:01:59 We Share. There we go. For the last month,

2:02:02 I think but

2:02:04 30% is is Apple is the Apple legacy app, which you cannot get the live stream through. Hello, people.

2:02:11 And

2:02:12 next on the list is Podverse.

2:02:14 We you know how many downloads we had from from Spotify

2:02:18 last month?

2:02:20 No. Three.

2:02:22 Three? Three.

2:02:23 Literally

2:02:24 Four. Three.

2:02:27 Wow.

2:02:28 No one have wised up. Yeah. Of course, they have. Modernpodcastapps.com,

2:02:33 you'll get a bat signal and notification when we go live and right after that, the minute we publish the show within ninety seconds, you're notified.

2:02:41 And your No Agenda show, the best podcast in the universe is flowing into your eardrums ready for you to go.

2:02:47 So the value we give is open for everybody. We're like a open source model.

2:02:54 You can get it however, there's so many different ways to get it. You can download it right from the web website, you can give it to other people, redistribute it, do whatever. We don't really care as long as you do something in the three t's, time, talent, treasure to give back to the show. So we had Mike in the Twin Cities giving us a great movie review, which I think right there is worth the price of admission.

2:03:15 So that is literally what you don't have to pay to watch that dog.

2:03:20 Yeah. People can do all kinds of things, organize meet ups. I mean, there's a lot that you can do to support the show and return the value.

2:03:27 And next time you have one of those coffees like say, maybe I should give this this to the boys over there, it's a No Agenda show.

2:03:34 You'd be you'd be amazed how much And say hi to me in the Albany meetup next Saturday. Oh, there you go. Next Saturday the twenty seventh.

2:03:42 One of the ways people help us is by a prompting art, prompt art

2:03:47 at the and then upload it to the No Agenda Art Generator, noagendaartgenerator.com.

2:03:52 So we can have something fun to show to people

2:03:55 that is hopefully relevant to the episode and they click on it, they listen to it.

2:04:00 It's just an extra bonus, people like it, it's fun, it's exciting and Blue Acorn

2:04:06 comes in again with the art for episode eighteen seventy six titled Screwball,

2:04:11 for all of John's Screwball clips. And this was the Alaska dog sled delivering the ballots.

2:04:17 And it was it was different for, you know, for a for an AI generated

2:04:23 image.

2:04:24 Did you think it had a different vibe to it? The edges were a little sharper. A

2:04:28 little messy. We usually don't pick messy pieces like this. But I kinda liked it.

2:04:33 I mean, obviously, It liked a

2:04:35 it

2:04:36 was a it it had a charm

2:04:39 of some sort.

2:04:41 We we both liked it.

2:04:43 Yeah. We did. What else do we like?

2:04:46 Nothing. Well, yes. I we we had the the totem pole.

2:04:51 We talked Yeah. About

2:04:53 That totem was had potential.

2:04:54 Lot of people uploading Ulster says no and like Yeah. I don't get why we why we never think we're gonna pick that. It's not gonna happen. No. It's not gonna happen.

2:05:04 Let me see. Was there anything else that we thought even came close?

2:05:09 A

2:05:10 lot of nipples? No. Good try. Yeah. You thought the Darren O'Neil's cough, the totem cough was funny. But we Yeah. Thought that was funny.

2:05:21 I think that was it, really.

2:05:24 I'm looking at it now. There was another dog sled from Jacques ten, but no, it wasn't quite as good. I like the ballot box which I used to

2:05:34 announce the newsletter, although in the newsletter there was a

2:05:38 the perfect crime was the artwork.

2:05:41 Yeah.

2:05:43 But I like the ballot box with the Jack in the Box popping out. It was good. No Agenda voting box. Yeah. That was good. Definitely. Another Darren piece

2:05:51 of genius. Darren How does he do it? I don't know how he does it. The guy's he's a maniac. A maniac. Yeah. He has he he's got the skills that pays the bills.

2:06:01 So

2:06:02 then we quickly we quickly move on to the

2:06:06 to the producers who supported us with the financial donation. Anybody can do it by going to noagendadonations.com.

2:06:12 We even accept Bitcoin.

2:06:15 Yeah. You can send checks, which is great. We love checks. We will not skew Yeah. Your

2:06:21 because checks are the total fees between 15 and 40¢. Yes. Very good way of supporting the show.

2:06:28 And of course, we as always, just to make the segment more exciting, give people more incentive,

2:06:33 you can become a knight or a dame. That is cumulative.

2:06:36 So, you know, if if you've been giving

2:06:38 if you've been giving support over years, have lots of layaway nights eventually. You will be invited to the round table. You get one of those No Agenda rings. One of the few

2:06:48 tchotchkes, and it's not really tchotchkes, it's an actual signet ring that we have here, and we've had that for a long time. The title is probably more impressive than the ring itself and you can move up the peerage ladder.

2:06:58 We also have an opportunity I'm a Duke. Yes. We have an opportunity for people to get official Hollywood credits. This is we are certified

2:07:07 to hand out these credits. So $200 or more, not only will we read your notes that you sent in with a donation guaranteed,

2:26:25 It's always like a party. We have end of show mixes coming up, a really good one from the the Grumpy Dames, the grumpy old Dames, who were desperately trying to figure out what the c stands for in John C. Dvorak.

2:26:38 I noticed I noticed with that song they actually pronounced my last name correctly.

2:26:43 Well, maybe it wasn't AI.

2:26:46 Well, somebody was talking pretty fast if it was. Doubtful. Would you like to divulge what the c stands for in John C? We all know what it stands for. Everybody knows what it stands for.

2:26:56 Cash.

2:27:01 We have John's tip of the day coming up at first to end of show ISOs. I have two. I see you have celebrity

2:27:07 ISOs once again. So I will start with mine. I was very I was it was amazing. And

2:27:14 this one? It was it was amazing.

2:27:16 Okay. Now what do you have? It's kinda the same one. It's it's a man, it's a woman. It's two different things. They're real. They're not AI generated. But okay. Let's go with your fakeness. It sounded like AI to me. No. It wasn't. This no. No. This is Okay. Okay. This I have Obama. I called him up and had him do these. Barack Obama here. Sorry.

2:27:35 Not AI. Okay. Barack Obama here. You just heard the best podcast

2:27:40 ever.

2:27:41 Lame.

2:27:45 Okay. Try the other one. Because he always said the way he always starts off with, hello everybody.

2:27:52 Remember we made a big deal out of that.

2:27:56 Alright. Next. I wish the No Agenda show was around when I was a kid in Kenya.

2:28:02 Okay.

2:28:03 Alright.

2:28:04 A kid in Kenya, we'll take it. But first, it's John C. For the day.

2:28:18 Wine. Wine. Wine. We want wine.

2:28:21 You get wine before. Oh, okay. Okay. So a wine will be coming coming soon. Mhmm.

2:28:28 So this is a screwball tip because I saw some some ads for it, and so I ended up getting one, and I

2:28:36 there's some it's an interesting product. It's a it's a,

2:28:41 cardboard box cutter motorized.

2:28:44 Oh.

2:28:46 And it just plows through cardboard real fast. But what it really is is it it's it's basically just an assisted knife.

2:28:56 There's like a knife it's like a blade. It's like a box cutter with an with a motorized assist

2:29:01 so you can really zoom through the boxes.

2:29:04 Mhmm. And this has been promoted here and there. I'm gonna give you the this is the the one I'm that I got and played with is the,

2:29:14 I guess it's Keylan, key l I n,

2:29:19 300

2:29:20 milliamp hour cardboard

2:29:22 box cutter 2026

2:29:24 Uh-huh.

2:29:25 Version.

2:29:26 What's wrong with scissors?

2:29:29 You can't cut through cardboard with scissors. Yeah. You can. They cut through cardboard all the time with scissors.

2:29:35 Wow.

2:29:37 These are 20.

2:29:39 So the so the thing about these cutters

2:29:42 and and you'd look it up in Amazon as a cardboard

2:29:46 box cutter,

2:29:47 motorized, or whatever.

2:29:49 But the thing about these things is this it's you want the cheap one Because they're all the same. There's about 40 different versions of the same exact thing, this typical Chinese product.

2:30:00 There's a million versions of it, and they vary in price from the cheapest I've seen is nine this one I got for 19, but now it's 20.

2:30:08 $20 to $50

2:30:10 for the exact same product.

2:30:12 Get the cheap one.

2:30:14 They do work. If you've seen ads for them,

2:30:17 you it takes a little more force than you think, but it's a it's a good way to cut up a cardboard box into cardboard strips. Get the well, okay.

2:30:26 Valid point. We have a lot of boxes at the end of the week and I usually I have a knife, have a pocket knife, you know, the kind you pull out and it opens automatically.

2:30:37 Got a little hook called a stiletto.

2:30:39 No. No. This is a There's a little hook on it and if you know And it And so it it slips into your right pocket, your front pocket with a clip. And then when you pull it out, if you pull it out with a little bit of backwards motion,

2:30:53 then it it automatically opens the blade so I can shiv them real quick.

2:30:58 Yep. So I use that to cut up the boxes and I think that this motorized box cutter may be for me.

2:31:06 And It might be that, but again, get the cheap one. The cheap one. Yes. The cheap one. And this in this case is the cheapest one with the most powerful battery,

2:31:15 3,300

2:31:16 or 3,000 milliamp hours. Okay. And they they do work.

2:31:20 No. I I it's not but it makes you they make it sound like it's a saw.

2:31:25 It's not. It's an assisted

2:31:28 blade.

2:31:29 I will bring a report after I order mine. I will order mine tipoftheday.net

2:31:34 or noagendafun.com

2:31:44 And sometimes Adam.

2:31:47 Created by Dana Bernet. Yes.

2:31:49 Thank you very much, Dana Brunetti.

2:31:51 And

2:31:53 since we looked it up,

2:31:56 the

2:31:58 name of this

2:32:00 I had it somewhere. I had the name of this song for everybody and now I've

2:32:05 Oh, yeah. Somebody tracked it down. Yeah. And now I forgot. I can't find where I I put it in here somewhere in the show notes. I'll go find it.

2:32:15 Yes. Here it is. It's on the seventh day. There's a link in the show notes.

2:32:19 It was indeed back in the day pod safe music.

2:32:23 Also safe for your pod, end of show mixes, we've got the grumpy old Dames,

2:32:29 Black Loca, and Lady Vox who will be coming up next on the No Agenda stream, in fact, with their

2:32:34 tribute to you. Just Baker, MVP,

2:32:37 and C. C. Cam, all featured in the end of show mix.

2:32:42 Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll be back on Thursday. Please join us. Send us some value in the meantime,

2:32:56 and you can do that through noagendadonations.com.

2:32:59 Until Thursday.

2:33:00 Adios,

2:33:01 mofos. Hooey hooey and

2:33:04 such.

2:33:24 There's a voice on the mic with a skeptical roar. John C. Dvorak kicking down the tech door calling out hype like he's done before, and everyone wonders what the c stands for. We've seen every storm, every boom, every bust, every catch of promise, all they turn into dust. From every intro to every encore, people still ask what the c stands for.

2:33:42 John C. Dvorak, tell us once more what in the world does the c stand for. Maybe grudge and maybe co, maybe core, but nobody knows what the c stands for. Ask him directly, open and ignore, slide right past what the c stands for. Forty years, and we're still not sure what in the world that c stands for.

2:33:59 Breaking down headlines with a sideways grin, spotting the nonsense before it begins. Dotcom bubbles and platform works, so nobody knows what the c stands for. Then somewhere mid show in his pod chart story says if you like it, send a little support. But I'll keep a broker, keep the program secure while we're still guessing what the c stands for.

2:34:19 John C. Dvorak, tell us once more what in the world does the c stand for? Could be Cass, could be Serk, could be Commodore, but nobody knows what the c stands for. Every introduction hits a pause once more. Someone will ask what the c stands for. He'll change the subject like before. Still never saying what the c stands for.

2:34:36 Some say classic.

2:34:37 Some say contrarian.

2:34:39 Some say it's classified

2:34:41 information.

2:34:59 John C. Dvorak, one thing's for sure. You kept the joke a lot for years and more. From every intro to every encore, people still ask what the c stands for. John C. Dvorak, the running lord, question egg, and whip forevermore. No final answer, no closing door, just the mystery of what the c stands for.

2:35:21 Someday we'll find it.
