0:00 I'm sorry. I'm gonna stop talking.
0:02 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, 06/28/2026.
0:06 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode eighteen eighty one. This is No Agenda.
0:14 Monitor
0:16 And broadcasting
0:17 live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
0:22 I'm Adam Curry.
0:24 And from Northern Silicon Valley where the democrat socialists haven't taken over yet.
0:30 I'm John C. Dvorak.
0:31 It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning.
0:35 That's amazing.
0:37 The whole Sunday shows were filled with people talking about it.
0:41 It is great.
0:42 Yeah. It is great. And before we do that, how was the meetup?
0:46 The meetup was fair. Fair? It was about 20 people. It wasn't that many. Uh-huh. But we had the there was the regulars and
0:56 it was a good meetup. Well, I'll I'll tell you that,
1:01 people should tag No Agenda Show on their Instagram pictures.
1:08 This is what you do. This is how you Oh, yeah. Well, then I think that's good advice. This is what you do. Tina said, hey. Hey. John had a meetup. Look at that. Because she's on Instagram and it showed up for her. So your your evil or Jay's evil plan is working.
1:23 The the insta we're going viral with the Insta. You know, I was I was thinking about these meetups.
1:29 And we've been doing meetups for how many years now?
1:33 Ever since yeah. It actually began with you and the Hot Pockets tour. Right. Oh, wow. So that was 2009,
1:42 I wanna say.
1:43 '2 yeah. 2000 And then then it then it gravitated toward the trailer
1:48 that you couldn't write off.
1:50 Yeah.
1:51 Well, I tried and
1:53 that didn't end well for me.
1:56 But since then, you know, we had we were using we're using meetups.com
2:00 even for a little while and people hated Yes. Were for a very short time. People hated it and then sir Daniel came in. Then then they all of a sudden they wanted us to pay.
2:09 Oh, Yeah.
2:11 Right. Well, like, we're not gonna pay for a scheduling website and then sir Daniel stepped up and said, hold my beer.
2:17 He made the noagendameetups.com.
2:20 I was thinking, because you know, at first the meetups were you and I attended and then people started doing meetups
2:27 where we weren't there so they had our heads on sticks. I don't see as many heads on sticks anymore as I haven't seen a head on stick for a couple of years. Yeah. So that's That's over. That's the heads on sticks are over.
2:39 And it's a global phenomenon. We had meetup in Ukraine.
2:43 We just had one in Berlin. We have them in Japan. We have them in Australia.
2:48 We have them in Brazil.
2:50 We have them in The Netherlands, The UK.
2:52 Not many in France actually.
2:55 The well, the French There's the one with the Gardere
2:58 Yes. Baroness
2:59 Isabelle.
3:00 Yeah.
3:02 And you know, pastor Brian had a message this morning about loneliness
3:05 at fifty seven despite our hyper conic connected world, fifty seven percent of Americans are lonely and it's a majority of men.
3:16 Now his obvious message is that, you know, with Jesus you don't have to be lonely.
3:21 But I was thinking what an important
3:24 important thing these meetups are.
3:26 Because I was just looking at the picture of you and and your people there at the meetup and this is a very disparate group. These are people probably don't visit the same bars normally or the same,
3:40 you know, hangouts
3:42 and some people may never get out of the house or just thinking of like, or can't find people
3:47 to hang out with. And I think these these meetups is that everybody knows that you can come to the meetup and you're gonna have one thing in common, it doesn't matter what
3:56 angle you approach it from or what you think about politics or the world or life. We had you have something in common and it's like, oh, we all we all have our amygdalas in check and we just wanna hang out and have have a drink and chat.
4:10 And I think we are actually combating loneliness
4:12 in the world.
4:16 So I wanna up the ante on these things. Alright. Alright. Here we go.
4:21 Guests.
4:23 Bring a guest? I'm gonna have Brunetti come to one of the meetups. He's gonna be the celebrity guest. Celebrity
4:29 guests.
4:29 Oh, that's a good one. But we've we've had a fair amount of celebrities throughout the years. Yeah. But they're not celebrity guests.
4:38 But
4:39 he's not really a celebrity guest because he listens to the show. He's a producer, although only an associate executive producer.
4:46 No. He's been executive
4:47 producer. Don't
4:49 get him mad. He won't do the gig.
4:52 He won't Jeez. He won't do the gig. Does he have a writer?
4:58 I'm
4:59 not doing the gig if this if Adam keeps insulting me.
5:03 Yeah. Come to think of it, he hasn't called me in a while. I'm I'm a little worried about that. Probably for good reason. So Yes.
5:10 So that so I think then, you know, you get the I think the MercyMe guys and we got Jackie Green up here in Sacramento. He should come down.
5:19 I mean, there are people
5:21 We have celebrities. We can use as shills. Should we have celebrities?
5:26 We have celebrities who we should be using to get people that come to the meetup.
5:31 We need an extra gimmick, though. Wait. What do you mean extra gimmick for the Well, some sort of thing like a certificate
5:37 that you came to the meetup or, you know, just something.
5:40 Just a something a little extra. Wait a Wait a minute. Wait Wait a It's like the sticker guy who always comes to our to the Albany meetup and he's always dropping off stickers. Hey. The the No Agenda shop, No Agenda sticker club,
5:53 that that's a good deal.
5:55 They Well, they're making some terrific their stickers are
5:59 out of those this world. They're fabulous. And of course, they're, you know, they're derived from No Agenda Art Generator.
6:05 But Yeah. The the one I got, the like the the legal tender I got in the mail the other day
6:11 and some other one. It's just it's good and they're the perfect size for sticking anywhere. You just stick them up on stuff. Stick them. Stick them everywhere. People like, oh, that's a pretty Near tollboots.
6:22 That's my recommendation.
6:23 As you're driving through with your easy pass,
6:26 you can do it. Well, if you got you can get an easy pass, it's not gonna do much good there. So so what what is the the gimmick then when we have our celebrity appearances at the meetups? What what is the I don't know. I we we have to start thinking about it. Okay.
6:40 The most emailed response
6:43 to this podcast,
6:44 is it about Iran? Is it about the war? Is it about the economy? Is it about the midterms? No.
6:51 The most response I have received this week, I don't know about you, because it's hard to spell Dvorak,
6:58 is
7:00 Mahjong.
7:02 Well, that's interesting. One of our, Dames or Dame in waiting, she's a not quite yet, who who's at the meetup,
7:09 had from the seventies a Ma
7:12 because I guess in the seventies, this was Ma Jong had a moment of popularity Uh-huh. And she had a Ma Jong necklace
7:20 that she had gotten in the seventies in New York. Wow.
7:24 That's great. She said, what do you think this is? And she shows it, and I said, that's a mahjong tile. I know that much. Like, here's of all of them, we got so many different emails. This is from Sarah in Brentwood, Tennessee.
7:37 ITM madam and John, mahjong mania has indeed taken hold with the suburban ladies of America.
7:43 My neighborhood friends in the forty plus club paid to learn from a pro two years ago and it's become our favorite girls night in activity.
7:52 It's not just a silly game for bored women, it's a booming industry.
7:57 There are countless companies that sell designer tiles.
8:00 Oh oh, here's how about a No Agenda Mahjong set? I'm thinking of something here.
8:05 Design
8:06 the average for these designer tiles, $500 a set.
8:10 Woah.
8:11 Two of my good friends have 10 sets each.
8:15 They are the most enthusiastic collectors of our group. You can find tiles to match any aesthetic, any hobby hobby or session or podcast.
8:23 I added that. One of our girls is a die hard swifty.
8:28 Did you hook her up with Darren? And she bought the Taylor tiles,
8:32 what?
8:33 The Taylor tiles for around $500.
8:36 My friend who loves Jesus and America has a nativity set with baby Jesus as the jokers.
8:43 That's blasphemous.
8:45 She brought over her brand new $475
8:49 Patriot tiles yesterday to play at my house and close a picture of me winning on the new America tile Sporting, my AC AC JCD swag. Maybe it's time for someone to design a No Agenda Mahjong set exits Where is it? G. Where is this person from? At Brentwood, Tennessee.
9:06 Yeah. So again, this is one of the advantages of living in California.
9:11 This is not out here.
9:13 No. You guys are boring. We've got cool stuff. Oh, yeah. There's nothing more exciting than a night in Maud Jong.
9:23 I don't know. I mean, I Oh, yeah. No. You're right. I don't know. Don't knock it. I mean, hey. We still play baccarat.
9:32 Pinochle was was the thing the one that got me last show. Pinochle. I I still don't Pee Knuckle. I don't is that a card game? I don't even know. I it's I think it's it's potato chips. I'm not sure what you play with. It's a p knuckle with a shuffleboard on the wall. I it's I never I have no idea. Never understood it. Anyway, let let's get back to the communism because that that is fantastic.
9:52 It's so funny.
9:53 And the defense by some
9:57 is just Yeah. I have a thesis when we're done. I'd I'd like to I'll kick it off. Know you have a couple of clips here. So let me kick it off. Just a couple. This is senator Tim Cain.
10:06 This is from this morning on
10:09 Spank the Nation.
10:11 And he was he was just
10:13 aghast about how stupid Trump's comments were. Senator, I wanna ask you a little bit about what's happening here at home. There were three far left candidates handpicked by New York City mayor Mamdani who won
10:27 last week over more centrist candidates.
10:30 Some are looking at that and saying the reach of the left wing of your party seems to be expanding.
10:37 And here is what president Trump said. Take a listen.
10:40 It's becoming a communist party.
10:43 These are not social
10:45 democrats. These are hardcore,
10:47 godless communists. They're godless communists. All communists are godless.
10:52 They don't believe in god.
10:53 This is the most serious threat to our country since
10:56 its existence.
10:59 What do you make of that attack here? Do you Attack. Have concerns that the progressive platform of some members of the party will make it more difficult to win in other parts of the country headed into November?
11:16 Margaret, what the president said is just goofy word salad.
11:20 I I'm not an expert on New York house races. I am an expert on senate races,
11:24 and we have got senate candidates all over this country
11:28 flip working to flip red seats blue by focusing on the president's mismanagement of the American economy.
11:35 Families are suffering cost increases because of chaotic tariffs,
11:39 illegal war
11:41 war. And focus on goofy things like ballrooms, arches, and the reflecting pool. He he likes I don't know if this is a new term they're trying to launch, goofy. I mean, it used to be weird. That was a pretty good one even according to Scott Adams. Rest in peace.
11:56 Goofy may be a a new term they're trying to launch. It's possible. I mean, the idea of calling what Trump said word salad to try to deflect from the usage for that of that phrase
12:07 I mean aimed at certain democrats. It is it is, I think, a very good characterization
12:13 of communism.
12:15 They they are godless. Is am I wrong?
12:20 Well, Marxism technically is, rejects,
12:24 religion.
12:25 Right.
12:26 Oh, so Yeah. Because the state should be the religion. Yeah. Yeah. So it wasn't it wasn't goofy,
12:31 and it wasn't an attack. Well, I know what he's talking about. It wasn't an attack.
12:37 But ABC
12:38 this week, they had the they had the man himself on. They had Mum Donnie on
12:43 and and discussed this.
12:46 And this might flow nicely into your clips, I think. Because I I think I know what you have because I actually was gonna clip it but I saw you you come in with it so I figured I wouldn't do it. Here he is, the
12:57 the Muslim mayor of New York. And you're hearing some some not just dismissive though. There there's resentment.
13:03 And this is from fellow Democrats who think that this could jeopardize Democratic chances in the fall. I mean, you got, Josh Gottheimer, a Democratic member of Congress. He says, many of us believe, as do I, if you're a socialist, you are not a Democrat.
13:17 And in fact, they they put out a manifesto today. Have you seen this thing? Sounds pretty socialist to me. Hold on. Wow.
13:25 There's irony.
13:26 Yes?
13:27 Yeah. Manifesto,
13:29 which is always Always. That's a communist idea. Either that or you're a mass murderer or you killed Charlie Kirk, one of the other. Yeah. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. It's a bad idea. Yeah. Manifesto, os usually
13:41 not seen as a good thing. Unabomber,
13:44 you know, all these kinds of man although the Unabomber's manifesto was more like a
13:49 guidebook for the future. And in fact, they they put out a manifesto today. Have you seen this thing? Sounds pretty socialist to me. It's not a communist manifesto. It's a moderate manifesto.
13:59 Moderate manifesto.
14:00 Oh, really? Saying we are capitalist and not socialist. We believe in a growing fair and competitive economy, entrepreneurship,
14:07 ownership. I mean, this is a direct response. They've made it clear to what you did here on Tuesday. Well, I mean, you know, that's great, but what's a party if not its voters? And I'm proud to sit in front of you as the mayor of our city having received more than a million votes a little over,
14:22 little less than a year ago. And when we're talking about these incredible congressional candidates,
14:28 they won their races, and they won their races with a vision of what politics should be and one that actually speaks to working people. And for a lot of people who ask themselves, what does democratic socialism mean? And you can tell them the the answer at a theoretical level. It's the choice to extend democracy from the ballot box the rest of their lives. But in terms of what it means over these last seven months, we've seen a city with democratic socialist principles at the heart of it within our administration. And what we've delivered has been record lows when it comes to murders and shootings. There's no one left. That's why it's record low. Everyone's everyone's leaving New York. And the rest, they're soy boys and girls. So is it pragmatic democratic socialist? I think democratic socialism at the heart is pragmatic because if we cannot deliver for working people, then what is this for? I'm not interested in writing a manifesto or frankly in reading one. I'm interested in delivering, and that's exactly what we've been showing. But they're saying that if you're a socialist, you're not a democrat. I mean, is there room in the party
15:25 for for both of these views?
15:28 Yes. Here I am. Here here are so many more. And I think what makes our party a beautiful party is the fact that it's a big tent, that we have But you've also said it has to be a party with a spine, with a backbone. Yes. So even a tent has to stay up. Yes. So, you know, does it have to stand firmly for these ideas that you're talking about that others are calling dangerous? I think it has to stand for working people, and I think it has to be willing to fight for working people. And I think that there are Fight. Working people. These are
15:59 liberal white women Who
16:01 are
16:02 offended
16:03 by the prospect of a party that knows who it fights for and goes every day to work for that. Because what we've seen over many years
16:10 is a willingness
16:12 to not only explain away the status quo, but frankly, even to look to benefit from the status quo. And that's not what working people are looking for from our party. It's so disappointing when I hear this interview with ABC, like, not even getting to the core of the policy,
16:26 who pays for what, how do you how do you do this rent freeze, how does it work economically.
16:31 It's just like, this is the word salad. So
16:35 there was also a take. It's not just Democrats.
16:37 You probably heard what president Trump had to say about you and about the candidates you supported,
16:42 and he he warned that if socialists win, and he calls you communist, but
16:47 you will start living in
16:50 squalor. There'll be no food, no housing, no military,
16:53 no law and order. There'll be nothing,
16:57 and he had a few other choice words.
17:00 By the way, he also said he still likes you.
17:04 But what what do you what do you make of what he mean, democrat Republicans are gonna make you the poster child for Yes. The Democratic party.
17:12 Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last November,
17:18 and over the course of these last six months, what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told Okay. Were impossible. Right. We've delivered free childcare for two year olds for the first time in New York City history. We've delivered
17:30 tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We've delivered a 165,000
17:37 potholes being paid. Woah. And we've done all of Potholes. These things
17:40 while also delivering the lowest recorded crime in our city's history. That's what it looks like to have democratic socialism. And what you're seeing is that New Yorkers experienced this for six months and made the decision that they wanted to see more of it on the national stage as well. I'm thinking if he, if there's a democratic socialist in, in San Francisco and they and they fix the potholes, you might convert.
18:02 So they have this situation
18:04 which you you run into a lot, which is crime's down.
18:08 This reminds me of the DC situation where they just misreport.
18:13 So you take your police department, you put them under someone's thumb and you say, no. No. No. This is not a crime. Yeah. The you don't report this. You don't report that. That's not a Yeah. You leave this off the books. You leave that off the books. They do that in Fredericksburg too for the tourists. No. No. That's not a crime. No.
18:29 So it's a common
18:31 way of lowering crime statistics,
18:34 which is to lie. Yeah.
18:36 And it's been done in city after city, and these guys love to do that. So that's bull crap. But the potholes, John.
18:43 Yeah. The potholes, if it's true. Yeah. Is it true? Do you think they really close the potholes?
18:49 I'm Hundreds. I like to know how you get a 100 what did you say? A 160,000?
18:53 What was the number? I think it was a 165,000.
18:56 Hold on. Let me see. Potholes? That many potholes? Holy moly. Listen. The first time in New York City, this doing the paving? Let me listen. We've delivered
19:04 tens of millions of dollars back to tenants who were taken advantage of by bad landlords. We've delivered a 165,000
19:11 potholes being paved. 165,000
19:14 potholes being paved. They delivered.
19:17 That's a lot.
19:21 That's a lot. Being patched is probably the right term. Well, paved over.
19:26 Patched. I I think that's a no. That'd a plus.
19:30 It's one of the one and sixty five thousand potholes. That's of your core issues. Unbelievable. Yeah. Is. Well, good reason. You ever hit a pothole? Yeah.
19:38 Yeah. Yeah. Well, that old Lexus of yours doesn't do too well when it hits a pothole.
19:43 No. Does fine, but it's You're letting your teeth. It's
19:46 not good. No. Uh-uh.
19:49 Did you wanna play something here? Well, unless you have more. I do. I have a couple more. I have Yeah. Play yours out and then we'll play the analysis. This is from David Sachs.
19:59 But let's play yours first and then we do move toward analysis. Alright. We have senator Chris Murphy.
20:05 Oh god. On, also on Spank the Press. Let's, first off, start with your reaction to the latest primary results out of New York. You've heard president Trump say that these candidates aren't socialists. He's gone as far as to call them communists.
20:18 As someone who identifies Communists.
20:20 As a progressive, is this a moment of reckoning for establishment Democrats?
20:25 Oh, I I I think you're gonna have different candidates being nominated in New York City and Suburban Connecticut. This is a party that is also nominated and won with candidates like Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Scherrill.
20:37 I I want us to be a big team party, and I've been saying this for years.
20:41 I think
20:42 that it's actually a sign of a party that is alive and growing when there's a contest of ideas inside the party. So I'm not a democratic socialist, but I do believe that the democratic party I do believe. Has been historically way too timid in taking on corporate power.
20:59 I think our party should have bigger ideas. I put one on the table last week, a $25
21:04 minimum wage. And I think we do have to have answers
21:08 for the way in which corporations
21:10 and billionaires are taking over and corrupting our politics. So What? I I do think that there is somewhat of a trend that candidates
21:19 who are,
21:21 confronting,
21:22 concentrated
21:23 corporate power in a meaningful way are winning, and I think that that is something that the Democratic Party should pay attention This is this is not the right message. This is the wrong message.
21:32 Israel is is taking over our our government. Well, is the It's not the billionaires. Come on. It's APAC. We all know it's APAC. But
21:41 this
21:42 kinda softening up these guys,
21:44 like what you heard, which is kind of what the democrat socialist message is corporations are bad. Yeah. And they should be nationalized.
21:53 This would get I don't have the clip, but Gavin Newsom, unless you have it. Oh, I do have it. Yeah. Gavin Newsom basically came out he didn't say it, but he's such a weenie that he saw what was going on. He said, this must be a trend.
22:07 And he was going in that direction. First, had Mundamy, then you got these three guys. I'm jumping on board, and he gives a a talk about how we should just a national billionaire's
22:17 tax. It's time for a national billionaire's tax in a new social contract. I just gotta pat ourselves on the back for that transition. I'm sorry. Oh, you know, you do that too often. It was so slick. It was so slick.
22:29 And you had you spiked the ball. I I'm sorry. You constantly ruined these things. Know. I ruined it. There's radio guys everywhere going, wow. That was awesome. And I ruined it. You're right. It's time for a national billionaire's tax and a new social contract.
22:44 Think about this. Just 10% of people 10%
22:46 of people in this country own two thirds
22:49 of the wealth.
22:51 A 30 year old for the first time in American history is not doing better Bullshit.
22:57 Her parents. That's a five alarm fire. That's bullshit. It's not the first hold on. The first time in American history you're telling me that during the great depression that that situation didn't happen over and over?
23:09 Why are you trying to get into history here? It it makes no sense. But he said for the first time in history, he's the one that used the word. A 30 year old for the first time in American history is not doing better than his or her parents. That's a five alarm fire.
23:26 American wages have stood still and the cost across
23:29 the spectrum. Cost of living have skyrocketed.
23:33 The system is fundamentally
23:35 broken. The federal tax code, the corporate tax code, and the inheritance tax code seem to be written for a different set. Oh, that was my favorite. The inheritance tax code. We take it away. Your children get nothing. Americans,
23:46 it's time for an economic reset. A true minimum tax. A great reset. A true minimum tax on billionaires that, well, ensures the people at the very top pay at least the tax rate their own workers pay. We also should end this tax free lifestyle loan. This is the gimmick that allows the ultra Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can I get a tax free lifestyle? Is there some am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to get a tax free lifestyle?
24:12 I I guess so. If you you don't have enough money. Oh, I don't have enough money if you have a tax free lifestyle. He's going on about as if
24:22 as if these guys are paying no taxes and not contributing.
24:26 I mean Well, this is the same lame argument that you should be paying the same tax rate as your secretary
24:34 because they have capital gains or or different tax structures because they don't have an they're not taking a salary.
24:42 It's like, ugh. Yeah. Okay.
24:44 Okay.
24:45 It's a tax free lifestyle loan. This is the gimmick that allows the ultra It's wealthy to very it's
24:51 number of people that can pull that off
24:54 is very low. The most billionaires are paying a lot of taxes including Elon Musk.
24:59 Yeah. Yeah. Quite quite a bit of tax money. Borrow against their stock portfolios while reporting no taxable income.
25:07 Well So to rewrite those inheritance rules so that the largest intergenerational
25:12 wealth transfer in human history estimated by,
25:15 well, be a $124,000,000,000,000
25:17 that will be changing hands doesn't lock in a permanent American aristocracy
25:22 of inherited wealth.
25:24 Time as well to return to the pre 2,000 a second. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Does this guy study history and realize that third generation of most of these super wealthy people break the bank?
25:34 They they lose all the money? Yeah. They on dumb stuff. On dumb stuff is being taken advantage of. Meanwhile, the The third farmer generations with
25:42 rare exceptions
25:44 Yep. Unless there's trusts and all kinds of safety things that are built in by the original guy. Yeah. They blow it all. They blow it all. They blow it all. They blow it all. And, and of course, this immediately affects farmers. You wanna pass on your farm to your kid. Yeah. You can't Why would I do that? Right. Yeah. You can't pass your farm off My podcast. So it gets taken over by Cargill. I mean, is that's what he wants? Cargill to own everything? I can't, you know, pass off my podcast and my daughter. I mean, this is horrible.
26:12 You imagine
26:13 Christina and Jay I can. Christina and Jay doing the podcast. Hello. I I
26:19 inherited wealth.
26:20 Time as well to return to the pre 2017
26:24 corporate tax rates and time to close those offshore loopholes
26:28 once and for all.
26:30 And as AI
26:31 reshapes the country Hold on a second again.
26:34 You just move the company to Ireland is what it what they do. They don't go offshore
26:39 in a half baked manner when you, like, jack it up back to 35 or 40%
26:45 tax rate. You just say, oh, just move the company. Take them right out of The USA, you get no taxes. Yeah. Is that what you're looking for?
26:53 Gavin Newsom is a handsome man.
26:56 I'm gonna vote for him. Pre 2017
26:59 He looks like Davis.
27:01 Rates
27:01 and time to close those offshore
27:04 loopholes once and for all. Once and for all. And as AI
27:07 reshapes the country,
27:09 every American should own a piece of the future it builds through a national public equity fund. This is the Bernie thing. Trickle down economics? Yeah. It's been a This is what's happening. Yeah. He's caving into the stupid ideas because he thinks this is his route to the presidency.
27:25 He may be the sucker when I do my analysis about what I think is going on. He may be the It's been thirty eight seconds. I'm sorry. I'm gonna stop talking.
27:33 Trip builds to a national public equity fund.
27:37 Trickle down economics, it's been a, well, nearly fifty year experiment that has failed.
27:42 Record corporate profits flowed into stock buybacks and executive compensation.
27:47 It's time to stop pretending otherwise.
27:50 We're nearing the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of this country's revolution. The system the American founders built, well, was designed to prevent
27:57 the concentration of power in a few hands. What?
28:01 Where in the constitution was that put?
28:04 What what what constitutional
28:06 amendment
28:07 or what
28:08 bill of right where where is it that that that we set it up to stop the concentration of wealth? Is that accurate?
28:15 If
28:17 it's in the constitution, which is a small document, I I never noticed it. Is it in the fine print, Gavin?
28:23 But we've allowed that concentration to happen anyway slowly
28:26 and in plain sight over the course of decades and But we can reverse it. We can reverse it together. It's time to democratize
28:35 the American economy
28:37 our democracy.
28:39 Alright. So then I might as well play the,
28:42 the gaggle with the president just to kind of close this out.
28:46 President Trump, great night for democratic
28:49 socialist candidates last night. In the New York primaries, they swept and knocked out two incumbents.
28:55 You're from New York. Why do you think it is that now the endorsement of Zoran Mamdani
29:01 means more than the endorsement of Hakim Jeffries?
29:05 Well, they're going radical left. They're going and really, you know, you talk about the democrat socialists. You took really it's really communist. That's these people I watched that woman last night.
29:16 That's not a socialist. I know a socialist. That's a that woman is a communist.
29:22 And,
29:23 you know, what they don't say is that I was 16 and o last night,
29:27 but mine were a little more boring, a little more mainstream.
29:30 They were Republican conservatives,
29:32 but we were 16 and o.
29:34 And if you look over the last two and a half years, we're about 347
29:38 and just about o.
29:40 That's pretty good, but nobody writes that.
29:43 But he picked three.
29:45 They won. They beat a guy named Dan Goldman who's, you know, a loser. He was one of my prosecutors,
29:51 one of my many prosecutors that they used on me. A loser. Dan Goldman, not a good prosecutor, fortunately,
29:57 but he's now looking for a job.
29:59 I would I was very surprised to see, you know, because he's pretty liberal guy.
30:04 When they go more,
30:06 liberal than Dan Goldman,
30:08 they're really into never never let. And then the final question. Does this tell you that the Democratic Party's twenty twenty eight nominee
30:17 will likely be or could likely be a Democratic socialist? Well, it should make it easier for Republicans
30:24 because,
30:25 most of the nation is composed of sane people,
30:29 They don't wanna you know, if you look throughout history, go back
30:33 thousands of years,
30:35 you've always had socialism and communism
30:37 by different names.
30:39 It's never ever worked.
30:41 It's not gonna work this time in The States. It's
30:45 never ever worked. I don't think it actually has has ever worked. It doesn't seem like that's ever prayed out for a out. It works for a while. Yeah. It works of course, couple years is great. People love it.
30:56 Fantastic.
30:58 So here's David Sachs. He's on your favorite podcast. I saw this on the All In. Yeah. Sachs was Sachs was also the
31:06 crypto czar and the AI czar.
31:09 Yeah. It's very thoughtful. Yeah. It's a thought. And I thought this analysis was quite good. I mean, I think the choices of the future are gonna be communism
31:17 or if you wanna call it socialism of the Democrat party or nationalism in the Republican party. I mean, that is where we're headed. Those are the two populist directions.
31:26 But let's look at what these DSA
31:28 candidates
31:29 stand for.
31:31 So let's look at what their platform is. They actually say they wanna abolish the senate. They want to abolish the carceral state, that means basically police forces and prisons.
31:43 They want to abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all. They do not support any deportations whatsoever. Whatsoever. And I should say while he's doing this, they have a picture of the manifesto
31:54 on the screen
31:56 where this is he's reading it almost verbatim from their one page manifesto.
32:01 They want to replace the president and supreme court
32:05 with an executive and judiciary that is chosen by and subordinate to congress, which basically now, I guess, this means this house.
32:13 And with respect to house elections, they wanna abolish the electoral college.
32:17 They wanna replace the two party system with a multiparty democracy,
32:20 and they wanna expand the house of representatives,
32:22 implement proportionate representation,
32:25 and ranked choice voting in all elections. So this would be a total makeover of our constitutional system.
32:30 They wanna free Palestine.
32:32 They want public ownership of major corporations. They wanna defund the Department of War. This is a very radical organization.
32:39 And you would laugh at a lot of these types of proposals, but you can't really laugh at it anymore because these guys are taking over the Democratic Party. And you can see the Democratic establishment is in complete panic right now because they have lost control of the party to Zoram,
32:56 Mamdani,
32:57 and his his allies.
33:01 That's the end of your clip.
33:03 Yeah. Well, it goes on for the I cut it there for time.
33:09 Yeah. That that's the outline of what they're up to, and here's kind of his analysis of where this is headed. Take this one race here, New York 13. You've got this ally of Hakim Jeffries, longtime incumbent congressman, Espalat,
33:22 I guess is is his name. He is the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus,
33:27 and he was defeated by an unemployed
33:29 32 year old PhD candidate. She's never had a job. She's been in college for ten years, I guess writing this PhD And
33:38 I think even by DSA standards, she might be kind of a lunatic. So she has declared
33:44 that she wants to end Western civilization.
33:46 She wants to eradicate Western civilization.
33:48 She actually said she used the American flag as a napkin to clean her hand. She attended a rally one day after October 7 celebrating the slaughter of Israeli civilians. I mean, she's very, pro Palestine, but even to the point of celebrating
34:04 Israeli civilian deaths.
34:06 She calls white women ugly colonizers.
34:08 She's called for the complete defunding of the police and abolishing all prisons and borders,
34:13 doesn't want a single deportation,
34:15 hates the police, openly calls them pigs or has on social media before,
34:19 calls US service members war criminals,
34:22 and says The US is a disgrace of a country.
34:25 She's written favorably about communism and seizing the means of production. This is basically the new Democratic Party. It's gonna be even if the Democrats do take the house in November and Hakim Jeffries becomes speaker, this is gonna prove to be a huge headache for him managing all these new DSA members because they do not actually see the traditional
34:45 establishment
34:46 wing of the Democratic Party as an ally. They see it as an obstacle. This is the DSA co chair Josh Block said,
34:53 we're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle Oh my god. Not because we share its goals. We build our own organization,
35:01 get elected under the Democratic label,
35:04 caucus with Democrats when it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside, we see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home. Didn't that already fail with the squad? Wasn't that exactly what the squad tried to do? Well, this is that was that were Justice Democrats, if you recall.
35:19 No. We put her on the Justice
35:21 mean, AOC They became DSA, but they were originally Justice Democrats. AOC was always DSA.
35:27 She was recruited and trained by DSA.
35:31 I thought she was a justice democratic
35:34 I'd have to look it up. I'm I'm pretty Look it up. Well, this is to me as a CIA op.
35:42 I
35:43 you know what?
35:44 The thing is, this is not what is going to
35:48 matter in elections.
35:49 It's Well, it's not about my my analysis. Do your do your analysis, please. Yeah. Because the CIA op and this was indicated because of that Stefanik
35:57 or not Stefanik, but this that woman that's in the CIA woman that's in Michigan.
36:05 Do we have a clip? Do we have a clip? No. I don't have a clip of her. But she kind of sided with these guys. They're kinda pushing this. This is a mirror image of what happened in the seventy two election. Ah, here we go. History at work, ladies and gentlemen.
36:22 So during,
36:24 Nixon got
36:25 in Wait. Wait. Stop. Stop. When you do this analysis,
36:29 I just have to point out that there's a whole
36:32 side Nixon thing going on right now with J. D. Vance.
36:36 So that is interesting. That may be it may be a a signaling. Part part of the signal or part of the Signaling. Signaling. Okay. Alright. And so so so we had the CIA got let's say the CIA did what,
36:50 Ron Paul said, which is they took over the country.
36:53 And, so they would they were the ones who were responsible for Nixon getting in in '68 because Hubert Humphrey should've won.
37:00 He's a good guy.
37:02 Everyone hated Nixon but somehow he gets in. So they they help him get in. So he gets in in '68 and he is, running in '72.
37:10 He's not finishing the war like he's supposed to in the way he's supposed to. Something's up. And so they He was a good guy. Wrong. And so an
37:20 anti war movement begins with Gene McCarthy,
37:24 and he
37:25 gets things started. He's gonna be the candidate. I I I got to meet him.
37:30 He was at Cal Berkeley giving a speech, and I talked to him afterwards. And some radical was yelling at him. He's very calm and collected. He was he had didn't have a bunch of secret service or anything. He was a really nice guy. And then he got pushed aside by Robert Kennedy
37:45 because they saw that he was making headway. And we don't want that because the guy was, you know, sincere and he wasn't connected and who knows what. So Kennedy gets in, but we don't want him either. So we bumped him off. So they shoot him,
38:00 and RFK junior still thinks it was a, you know, scam Yeah. Who who shot him. He's got his own theories. And, okay, we'll go along with that. So he's out.
38:08 And so they move in to Stooge
38:10 George McGovern,
38:12 who I also met. He gave a speech at at Berkeley, and I went and chatted with him for a while. And he was a really nice guy, I voted for him.
38:19 And, George McGovern
38:21 came in. Did they shoot McGovern too? No. They didn't shoot McGovern. Oh, I thought And so McGovern came in and but he was the he was the patsy.
38:31 He was too
38:32 left leaning, and he was too you know, he was anti war, but not in in a in a good way. But
38:39 he was just it was a setup. And they put him in,
38:43 and he got
38:44 annihilated
38:45 by Nixon in '72. It was the biggest landslide in US history to this date.
38:51 And so
38:53 that's kinda the setup they're doing this time. Now what happened with to Nixon was he, you know, he started being mean to the CIA, wouldn't play ball, wanted to break them up. And they had all you know, they'd already set him up with this as we read in the book, Family of Secrets by Russ Baker Mhmm. Who outlines very carefully what happened to Nixon when it came to Watergate. The whole thing was a CIA operation.
39:18 And it was set sitting there waiting to be imp waiting it was done. It was a done deal. All they had do is pull pull the trigger, and then Nixon would be out because he wasn't playing ball.
39:29 And he wasn't. Okay. So he wasn't playing ball, so they pulled the trigger on him and get him out of there. Alright. And so so the that was the whole thing. This could happen again. Which is which is just as an aside, this is exactly what Vance is saying. Vance is saying the
39:44 he says they,
39:45 but we all know what he means. Try they got Nixon out and that's what they tried to do with Trump in the first term. This is the analogy he's making right now, which he apparently just looking at the quad screen is starting to walk back a little bit.
39:59 But he said it.
40:01 Yeah. I think that's true. But they would they didn't really do the same
40:07 the number they did on Nixon was
40:09 was flawless. It was fantastic.
40:13 And so he they they actually it worked with him and he was he had the personality
40:18 that he caved. Trump
40:20 was is his stronger personality.
40:21 I think he got through it and he and they also there's some thought that Trump was given the
40:28 the twenty sixteen
40:29 election by the CIA to begin with. And it was apparent that he wasn't gonna play ball, they make his life a little miserable.
40:37 And then they rousted him in 2024
40:40 '24 '20 because Biden did that ridiculous
40:43 election
40:44 Mhmm. And they put the idiot in, and so that Trump got back. The but this is a setup to make sure that
40:52 these democrats, socialists are sidelined because we don't need the aggravation
40:57 of these people being
40:59 too high up in government. So they're gonna put a stooge
41:03 as who's gonna run against either Vance or Rubio, and they're gonna get annihilated,
41:09 not to the extreme that McGovern did, but maybe,
41:12 and that the whole thing is set up for that. And so this democrat socialist thing, which is bogus,
41:18 that election in New York, there was only 10% turnout. It was all
41:22 immigrants. It was pathetic.
41:25 The whole thing is a setup to get some
41:28 to get these guys to follow the Bernie's this was in the newsletter too, by the way. People should have read that. Yes. To sit to follow the Bernie Sanders idea that, well, she's not left enough. So you gotta go more left,
41:40 go completely radical, which is nonsense,
41:43 and run some
41:45 screwball.
41:46 And it may be Newsom trying to worm his way into this position to get killed,
41:50 but whoever runs in 2028
41:53 against the Republicans
41:55 is gonna get wiped out. Now how about This is a setup. Okay. So everyone at this moment, the all the analysis is only about the midterms.
42:04 And Right. But they're not looking ahead. No. No. The midterms are they're a lost cause.
42:10 The midterms are a lost cause. The the Republicans, there's no way they can hold the house. They maybe will hold the senate because of the stupidity
42:19 of of that guy in Maine.
42:22 He's gonna lose to Susan Collins. Susan Collins has a machine or something up there. She's just gonna get in again. Well, here so the the playbook as I see it for the midterms is not a bunch of commies and socialists.
42:35 The playbook is Muslim.
42:37 That's what the Republicans are pushing and they're pushing it hard.
42:42 Because, know, one of those DSA
42:45 candidates is Muslim. Didn't the Jewish guy like start doing the Muslim The Jewish guy went to a Muslim meetup.
42:53 Muslim he was He was doing Muslim Praising Allah. Yeah.
42:58 And
42:59 and I think the fix is in on this.
43:02 Producer sent me, you know, The Daily Wire, they have a podcast. It's the Morning Wire
43:07 where you get your your your news. No. I know. I've never heard it. Oh, it's it's it's a decent, you know, it's like eight eighteen minutes, nineteen minutes. It's a kind of an overview from their perspective. Of course, they're doing video which they should never have done because there's some nerd
43:23 and it was like an over lit studio.
43:28 You know, it's just okay. Yeah.
43:30 Yeah. It annoys me. But at the very end,
43:35 and this is the audio of it and so you can imagine the pictures, it's like
43:40 twin towers coming down,
43:43 all kinds of horrific images.
43:46 And I only heard and I only heard the audio and I was like, wow, this is crazy. At the very end, it's like, you know, the Muslim takeover
43:53 coming in twenty
43:55 twenty twenty seven
43:57 or is it already here? 2027.
43:59 Yeah. Because they know that did did anybody do statistical
44:02 analysis?
44:03 Listen to this. We'll be back this And this is at the very end of the podcast. Just for no reason, no or anything, this just pops in. We'll be back this evening. More news you need to know.
44:14 We have a terror warning in Northern Virginia. Radical Islam has designs openly on the West. The FBI accorded a terror plot on New Year's Eve. Violent attack over the Halloween weekend in Michigan. Protests on college campuses showing no signs of stopping.
44:51 Showing New York,
44:53 Dearborn,
44:55 Chicago.
45:18 People getting beheaded.
45:21 Shot.
45:22 Oh, yeah.
45:24 Big caption Muslim takeover 2027
45:27 or is it already here?
45:29 Is that what it says? Yes.
45:32 And this and this is the Shapiro outfit. So you know Yeah. You know that this is part of some republican machine that is that is doing this.
45:41 And that's gonna be the play.
45:43 It's like you don't want you don't want these Muslims, they're gonna kill you. And that's what That's the play. That I'm telling you that's the play.
45:49 That's what they're gonna do. Well, it's dumb.
45:52 Yeah. But it it's working.
45:54 But is it? Yeah. I think so. If you wanna get people to Well, wait. Listen. Well, hold on. Do you think it's working enough that the Republicans can hold the house?
46:04 I I I really haven't run the numbers and to be honest, I really I can tell you no way. I really don't care. No way.
46:11 No. Well, I'll take that bet for a buck.
46:14 2.
46:15 Oh, you're try to this
46:16 to get your money back.
46:18 Yeah. Yeah. I'm down $2. I'm going back. I'm going for it. $2. Everybody write it down.
46:23 Okay.
46:27 Bill Maher
46:29 caught on to
46:30 what I said and what you questioned. I I I'm presuming you kind of What did I question?
46:36 The tourists loving America here for the World Cup. And you Oh, yeah. I still question it. You said I like it. I meant not saying it. And I decide I tried to figure out what it is. I think it's the chamber of commerce. They're trying to get more European tourists. No,
46:53 man. It's real. I said Oh, bullshit.
46:56 It's you know, everybody's
46:58 talking. I got into a big argument at the dinner table
47:01 with everybody over this because I was in with Mimi on the phone. Yeah. And she's bought into it. JC's bought into it. Although, he backed off a little bit. He's got his own he's he listened to me unlike the rest of them. And everyone else is all hook, line, and sinkers, like they got a hook in their mouth and they're being dragged dragged out of the water with a with a fishing pole.
47:23 Really?
47:24 This is what you think?
47:27 I've I've said my piece. You're you're the man who actually believes these whatever girls are that stupid.
47:34 But I gotta great whatever girls clip for today. But you're telling me that this is not real. You're telling me all these videos are not real. No. There's one or two. Of course, there's a there's a couple that are real. They're all real. It's so Oh,
47:49 Oh, from the man who posts Biden telling everyone to listen to the No Agenda show.
47:54 Come on. Yeah. That's that's my point. Here is, Meyer with the setup. And
48:00 finally, new rule. Let's all give it up for soccer being the greatest sport.
48:04 No. No.
48:07 No.
48:09 Not the game itself. That sucks. I
48:12 mean, there's more scoring at a Star Trek convention. Alright. There's your line.
48:17 Good one.
48:22 But I I am loving that the World Cup has brought to our shores all these people who are doing Americans the service of reminding us just when we needed it on our big two fifty birthday
48:33 that, actually,
48:34 this place
48:35 is kind of awesome.
48:37 And
48:43 and,
48:44 yes, I know how dare I, how privileged when there are so many problems
48:48 threats and people left behind. All true. I could give you the statistics where we are not good enough and have done so many times.
48:56 Infant mortality rate, fifty fourth in the world.
49:00 Women in government, eighty fifth.
49:02 Overdose deaths, lack of health insurance.
49:05 Yes. Many problems.
49:07 But that's because the name of our country is America,
49:10 not Utopia.
49:11 Okay. So good lead in. Good lead in. And if anything, if this is any kind of op,
49:17 it's a brilliant move by Trump who's like, this is gonna be great. He saw it. He understands
49:22 this is gonna be great for America
49:24 and the result is not so much that tourists wanna come to America.
49:29 The result is that Americans feel good about their country for the first time in twenty
49:36 years.
49:37 Like, oh, you know, and hey, you're the you're the you're the Costco guy.
49:42 You're the Europeans.
49:44 Can you can you believe it? We go to this place called Costco that John C. Dvorak told me, you get the best wine, Bordeaux for $2.99.
49:53 You buy it and the case is fantastic.
49:55 America is great. There actually are some good things about us.
50:00 Even with all the ICE nonsense,
50:02 we have more immigrants than the next four countries combined.
50:06 We have to fight for it, but still have freedom of speech
50:09 and assembly and trial by jury. And even if you're found guilty, you can still ask a Kardashian to get you a pardon. Other
50:23 countries struggle just to have water. Here, we make it put on a show,
50:28 in the desert no less.
50:37 We have drive throughs for both church and sex toys.
50:42 That's right.
50:44 You can buy a dildo,
50:46 then ask the Lord to forgive you for it without ever leaving your car.
50:59 We have the strongest intellectual
51:01 property, the most innovative r and d, the highest GDP, the most valuable companies, and the most trillionaire.
51:11 Picture of Musk. Now look, maybe it's a coincidence, but I think it's something in the American system and character that we have the highest number of Nobel Prize winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane,
51:25 personal computers, and the party sized bag of extra flaming hot cheetah.
51:36 Plus, you can believe in whatever crazy religion you want here and 24 states have legal weed and our pop stars can juggle knives.
51:44 Happy fourth, everybody. And that's what I thought was interesting is that he,
51:49 you know, as they call it the great American sleepover,
51:52 where your cousins were told you to never go visit your other cousins because the parents hate each other.
51:57 But that's not really the that's one result,
51:59 which may be good for the commerce department, but the real result is this.
52:03 People like Bill Maher, he's a negative guy on a lot of things in the country. No. He's a negative guy. Yeah. And so I think that that's a very positive thing.
52:13 Yeah. I would anytime Maher goes off on one of these tangents, yeah. Of course, is. Yeah. So I I think that's positive. But I Yeah. That's what you have to do. I'd like to so so let me just set the scene. So it's the dinner table.
52:25 It's
52:26 JC
52:27 is his wife with him? Do y'all y'all get together?
52:30 Yeah. She is oh, I forget her name.

52:47 says, yeah, he caused me a deadbeat. No. No. No. That's your word. Don't you put that don't you put that on. He knows better.
52:55 Wait. He still doesn't have a job? What?
52:58 Anyway, that's beyond the point, beside the point. And Mimi is on the Beyond the point. Mimi is on the speakerphone?
53:06 Yeah.
53:08 Now, was she eating dinner as well at the same time? No. She's just yakking about something. And it was like, this conversate this came up with the conversation. Because somebody mentioned it. They said, oh, you know, what about these stupid
53:21 videos? And I well, they didn't say that.
53:24 But they mentioned the videos and that just set me off.
53:28 I had to deal with Adam on this and he won't buy into it either. No. No. Because I know people in Europe. Such a phony deal. You can just The ultimate walking down Broadway.
53:39 Jeez. No. I just disagree. It's not these videos are not phony deals. You know, you
53:45 you when you get suckered,
53:49 it's it's so you're all in.
53:53 Why why
53:54 do you think I'm getting suckered? What evidence do you have for this? There's no evidence.
53:58 It's you're saying It's your it's your commentary. You're falsely claiming this without evidence.
54:04 Yeah. Yeah.
54:08 The evidence is apparent.
54:10 Now we We need evidence. Now, on the flip side of patriotism,
54:15 the
54:16 Freedom two fifty,
54:18 mall is not such a success.
54:21 It doesn't seem That's not the message I'm getting.
54:25 Really?
54:26 Yeah. We got some people who wrote in some boots on the ground. They didn't say it's a dog.
54:31 Oh, it's not the crowd size for the president's speech. That's what that's the only thing. I'm sure. Yeah. That's what well, that's different. Well, most people I know here are either going
54:40 just before the fourth or they're actually going on the fifth or the sixth. But you wanna go on the fourth for the fireworks. I think you would. I think you would. Yeah. 800,000
54:50 shells?
54:51 Bombs bursting in air. This is a
54:54 no.
54:55 Then on July 4, we will have the greatest show of all on the National Mall.
55:00 Your favorite president will be speaking.
55:03 So
55:04 please show up. Because
55:07 if we have two empty seats, know you what's gonna happen? The fake news is gonna say he didn't fill out the arena.
55:13 I mean, he doth protested so much. I mean, I keep it. He doth protested
55:18 so much.
55:20 He's not protesting?
55:22 He's right. I was looking at today's the headlines on the, you know, the phony baloney. You go to a web browser, now you get all these headlines.
55:30 Oh, you're you're Are using Edge?
55:34 I use Firefox.
55:35 Oh, okay. And so you go and they've done it now. And it means it's over. Wow. And so everyone is doing it. You're crazy not to. And so one of the headlines was Trump says nobody walked out of his speech, but two people were seen leaving.
55:49 You fill out the arena.
55:51 I mean, he doth protestors so much. Think, my damn it. We're the problem. He seems to be the problem, when it comes to empty seats.
55:59 Clearly showing the the vulnerability
56:02 that this exposes,
56:03 the lack of attendance, the lack of enthusiasm, and people walking out looking for non political,
56:09 I guess, generous description.
56:11 Did you even talk to them? Acts.
56:14 Yeah. I think yeah. That's
56:16 a good point. They're mind reading again.
56:19 They're good at it. That's that's what they do, man. Action acts.
56:23 Yeah. I think this celebration would have been a lot better had
56:28 Trump not made himself the center of it. But, unfortunately, with Donald Trump, he's incapable of doing that. Mean, he wants to be at the center of every bit of this America two fifty celebration.
56:39 And last night, I think you saw how the crowd feels about that. As soon as he came on, the crowd started to thin out. And I think come the July 4, because the fireworks are at the end, you might not see that as much. But last night, there was nothing to look forward to after Trump. So they got their pictures and they head for the gates.
56:57 So there's a change at Miz Now, Miz Now.
57:01 And
57:02 I think we already called this, they are going to do podcasts
57:06 on their channel.
57:08 And they have a deal with crooked media.
57:11 Yeah. You know, was Pod Save America.
57:13 And then the most interesting person from Nicole, what so they're they're literally going from the same dumb people,
57:21 now the same dumb people with headphones and a microphone in their face. And this is Yeah. And this is rampant. I see it on Bloomberg. I see it on BBC.
57:29 I've seen it all over and it's and it's terrible.
57:32 It's so fake.
57:34 It's it's fake and terrible. Yeah. Fake and gay.
57:38 It
57:39 is exactly what it is. I wasn't gonna say it.
57:42 Yeah. What what is this?
57:45 So if you Cheap. It's cheap. So we just What is it?
57:49 Can you guys, do you guys get some of those Logitech cams?
57:53 I
57:54 don't even know. I you know,
57:56 I think You use your own mic. No. Use your own mic. You got a mic? It's often it's often like Bloomberg,
58:02 they're still doing it in the same set.
58:05 BBC is at night. It's the BBC nighttime set.
58:09 They just do less camera switching and everyone's got cans on and and a mic and they're talking down not looking into the not looking into the camera or, you know, at the at the other person, you know, they're kind of looking down at the mic.
58:22 And I think that someone just say, hey, these podcasts, man. This is the podcast is where it's at everybody. And a podcast, of course, it's video. Just look at Joe Rogan. Look at we need that we need Joe Rogan type success.
58:33 Let's bring the consultants in.

59:54 No. I I my login for some reason on on LinkedIn
59:58 is like whenever whenever I
1:00:01 so I they
1:00:03 want me to log in again. And I have my password, and they say, well, we haven't seen you in a while. We don't recognize this device.
1:00:10 This is Arch
1:00:12 Linux. So we need to confirm this with you. We're gonna send you a code to adam@curry.com.
1:00:18 And the code comes six hours later.
1:00:21 And then I put the code in, this code has expired.
1:00:24 Yeah. I love that. It's a it's a loop that I can't seem to get out of. I I don't know why.
1:00:31 It just It happens to you on Instagram too.
1:00:34 Instagram suddenly worked again. I mean, I Yeah. It was. That's one of our producers listening who fixed me there. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. We need someone some producer that works at at x.
1:00:45 Yeah. That would be nice. That'd be nice. So we can get our so we don't have a we're not throttled.
1:00:52 Let's see. We have a couple different places we can go. I'd say, first of all, we
1:00:57 have a
1:00:58 we have our first
1:01:00 conviction.
1:01:02 It's not the most satisfying one, but listen, we have a conviction of mustache man. Breaking news. Breaking news.
1:01:10 Security adviser John Bolton just pleaded guilty in his classified documents case.
1:01:15 Bolton was indicted last year on '18 counts related to his handling of sensitive government information. Now prosecutors said he shared it with two relatives for possible use in a book he was writing.
1:01:27 As mister Bolton just admitted,
1:01:30 he put our national security at grave risk in violation
1:01:34 of the law.
1:01:36 Our system of classified information is designed to protect
1:01:40 sensitive information
1:01:41 that would jeopardize national security
1:01:43 if mishandled.
1:01:45 And the national defense information at issue in this case was classified
1:01:50 at the highest
1:01:51 classification.
1:01:52 Classified.
1:01:53 Classified.
1:01:55 The Hill had a little longer report which gave us some more detail, but Well, before you play it Mhmm.
1:02:01 I have the old Bolton. I'm
1:02:04 glad you got that. Here it is. Then Wait. Wait. Let me set it up. This was right after Trump got the Mar A Lago raid. Yep. Bolton got got on all the shows, and this is what he said. Then he has committed very serious crimes. This is this this is a devastating indictment. I speak here as an alumnus of the justice department myself
1:02:24 because not only is it powerful, it's very narrowly tailored.
1:02:29 They didn't throw everything up against the wall to see what would stick. This really is a rifle shot, and I I think it's it should be the end of Donald Trump's political career.
1:02:41 He who digs a pit for another will fall in it himself, they say.
1:02:46 News from the federal courthouse in Maryland.
1:02:49 Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton has just pleaded guilty to a singular count of unlawfully retaining national defense information.
1:02:58 Prominent Trump foe has now admitted that after he left the White House during president Trump's first term, that he unlawfully kept diary like entries about his day to day work.
1:03:09 Specifically,
1:03:10 John Bolton is pleading guilty to one of the 18 counts he was originally indicted on by a grand jury last fall.
1:03:18 That indictment accused him of transmitting thousands
1:03:21 of diary like entries to two relatives in preparation for a potential book.
1:03:27 But John Bolton now avoiding those 17 counts by agreeing to plead guilty to a singular felony charge of retaining national defense information.
1:03:35 As part of this deal, he's agreed to pay a roughly $2,000,000
1:03:39 fine.
1:03:39 And now the question becomes, will he face prison time? This deal means that he could face up to five years in prison. Five years? But that's gonna be a question for US district judge Theodore Chuang. He's the former he's the appointee of former president Obama who's assigned to oversee this case, and it is up to him to decide whether John Bolton will ever be behind bars.
1:04:00 He already has set that sentencing date. We are expecting John Bolton to come back into court to learn his punishment later this year on October 28.
1:04:09 But already, this is a major shift for the prominent Trump foe and former national security adviser.
1:04:15 When John Bolton was first charged, he had claimed that he was the a vindictive prosecution
1:04:20 victim, part of a retribution campaign by the Trump administration.
1:04:24 But today, in a federal courtroom,
1:04:26 John Bolton now admitting to one of these charges. And as he entered that guilty plea, he told the judge, quote, when asked if he's guilty, I am your honor. I'm sorry for it. So this is a this is a win. It's shallow. It doesn't feel like a win. Like, who cares?
1:04:43 You know? Bolton, I mean, it's it's good for the No Agenda people because we always thought it was a creep.
1:04:48 Yeah. Totally. I still think it was a part of that fart club in New York, although we can never seem to agree on that. The fart sniffing club, remember that?
1:04:58 Yeah. It's just some creation of yours. Must be. But then we have
1:05:03 and there's a couple of victims of the Epstein files,
1:05:06 we'll guess who's starmer in a moment. But Leon Black voluntarily
1:05:10 came in to to
1:05:12 give his deposition.
1:05:14 He has run Apollo Global Management.
1:05:16 I think he's had some
1:05:18 some scandals
1:05:19 or some stuff in the past,
1:05:21 maybe unrelated,
1:05:23 but this didn't go too well for mister Leon Black. Black testified before the house oversight committee today. Things broke down when Republicans and Democrats demanded answers
1:05:33 about nondisclosure
1:05:34 agreements with women in Epstein's orbit,
1:05:37 some of whom now assert they were victims of Epstein's abuse.
1:05:41 After Black ended the interview, the committee issued two subpoenas.
1:05:47 I have just issued two subpoenas
1:05:49 to mister Black.
1:05:51 One, for all the NDAs
1:05:55 that he is party to,
1:05:57 and second, for a deposition
1:06:00 on July 16.
1:06:03 So this is a result of refusing to answer specific questions
1:06:08 about the NDA
1:06:09 NDAs and the terms.
1:06:11 We believe that information is
1:06:14 vital to our investigation.
1:06:17 I will
1:06:19 remind everyone that
1:06:21 mister Black came in voluntarily,
1:06:23 but they are
1:06:25 refusing to disclose that. So I have issued the subpoena and we are handing it to him as we speak. And this cannot be coincidence
1:06:34 after
1:06:35 the first lady's
1:06:38 sudden statement
1:06:39 where she said, hey,
1:06:41 let these victims
1:06:43 test testify before congress. It can be in in closed committee, it doesn't have to be public.
1:06:49 They will not be violating their NDAs when congress requests
1:06:52 that you disclose that.
1:06:55 So I think I feel that there's kinda no coincidence
1:06:58 here about these NDAs because this is what it real boils really boils down to.
1:07:03 And
1:07:05 and it's not looking good for for Black. Black's attorney spoke to reporters after he left Capitol Hill.
1:07:12 Mister Black came here voluntarily
1:07:14 to assist the committee.
1:07:16 They made a premeditated
1:07:17 political decision
1:07:19 to serve him with subpoenas
1:07:21 after less than an hour of questioning
1:07:23 and before they even asked a single question
1:07:26 about his legitimate payments to Epstein.
1:07:29 I wanna be clear.
1:07:31 As mister Black said in his opening statement,
1:07:34 he never abused a woman. He never was with an underage woman.
1:07:39 He never engaged in sex trafficking.
1:07:41 He never paid Epstein for access to women. He was never blackmailed Capote?
1:07:47 Who is this? I don't I don't even know if it's a man or a woman.
1:07:51 Truman Capote. He
1:07:53 never paid Epstein for access to women. I think it's a dude. He was never blackmailed by Epstein. Black said he never knew anything. He never did anything wrong. And he has no shot I don't of any wrongdoing. It was Paid Epstein a lot of gambling? No. He paid a lot of money to others to conceal things and avoid further legal action. Oh. He never knew anything or did anything.
1:08:16 Perhaps a subpoena and the threat of perjury before congress will shed more light on all this. Yeah. Maybe it will. And then we have
1:08:24 another political victim, a fallout of the Epstein files. Unfortunately,
1:08:29 it's not in America.
1:08:30 But Keir Starmer, we we must remember
1:08:34 that this all happened because of Mandelson.
1:08:37 Mandelson
1:08:38 was his Well. His guy. What do you mean well? I think that report that came out about the 250,000
1:08:46 raped girls in England didn't help much. Oh, shit. No. Although nobody's talking about it, that's some sort of Well screwy cover up. Seen Have Citizen Vigilante?
1:08:57 Oh my god. This Yeah. Wow.
1:09:02 The If you don't if people don't wanna watch you, just watch the last fifteen minutes. Well, I I started watching it. I'm like, holy crap. Go watch the last fifteen minutes. No. I'm gonna watch the whole thing. I mean, I'm halfway halfway halfway through. It's very saying the last fifteen minutes summarized. The way it's been marketed, and this just came out of nowhere,
1:09:21 Elon Musk post the whole video on Yeah. Elon Musk post the old video. He's but no one they they the Germans banned the movie. Screw them. I'm gonna post it on X. That's because he's got a Elon's
1:09:33 got a hard on for the EU because they keep trying to to to cut x out of the picture.
1:09:40 Well, the marketing is phenomenal.
1:09:42 The marketing is they won't allow this to be seen, which there's no evidence of that. There's no evidence that it was verboten anywhere.
1:09:50 Well, we don't know. I mean, I'm not in Germany. It's something maybe one of our German listeners can tell us. And it's not even set in Germany.
1:09:58 No. It just no. It said well, it said where is it set? It seems,
1:10:02 I'm not sure. I think Norway or Denmark.
1:10:06 It's hard to tell. It's a little hard to tell. Not you mentioned it. Then the sauce says Europe.
1:10:11 Yeah.
1:10:12 Europe. Yeah. Like, the that's the innocuous Europe. So yes.
1:10:17 And by the way, it does it proves a couple of things. It's a good idea for a story, but it also proves that army hammer Yes.
1:10:24 Can't act.
1:10:26 Well, he probably He is terrible. I wonder if he financed it with some of the arm and hammer inheritance.
1:10:32 I I
1:10:34 don't know. There's some there's one name that's attached to it. I don't think it's this way. It's it's not a Dana Brunetti production.
1:10:41 But but it's pretty good. It's bloody though. It's bloody The acting is not up to par. Yeah. But it's bloody.
1:10:46 It's extremely violent. The
1:10:50 violence is off the chain. Anyway, here's here's Starmer
1:10:54 giving it up. This week marks ten years
1:10:57 since Britain voted to leave the EU.
1:11:00 It sounds like NPR is just so sad somehow. It. And in those ten years,
1:11:07 Britain has lived through six prime ministers
1:11:09 gearing up now for number seven. I was trying to remember when you took over the London beat, Lauren. Like, what prime minister were we on?
1:11:17 We were on five Rishi Sunak. Okay. He was new. Okay. And now
1:11:22 so I've seen the end of Rishi Sunak's term,
1:11:25 all of Curry Starmer's term. And and you you're telling me that these British tourists who coming to the World Cup in America and see this nonsense going on in their own country and they've been told that we have a horrible horrible political system. It's no good. They're going through their sixth prime minister now.
1:11:43 They know what's up. And we're going before
1:11:46 they came here. They're not so that so that's insincere. That's why they're they say, hey, it's not that bad in America.
1:11:53 Then we don't have rape gangs,
1:11:58 you know, in in
1:12:00 Florence.
1:12:02 My my nephew was robbed at the train station
1:12:06 by a bunch of immigrants.
1:12:09 It's crazy.
1:12:12 Prime minister in ten years, and that looks to be Andy Burnham, who we're gonna talk about in a second. But first, I wanna take Andy a Burnham, gotta talk about this guy. This guy's a another stooge. He's great. Many news cycles ago all the way back to Monday. The question my party is asking now
1:12:30 No. Is whether I am best placed
1:12:33 to lead us
1:12:34 into the next general election.
1:12:38 I have heard the answer
1:12:40 of my parliamentary party
1:12:42 to that question,
1:12:45 and I accept that answer
1:12:47 with good grace. Grace.
1:12:50 Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first.
1:12:55 Yes.
1:12:56 That is why I will resign
1:12:58 as leader of the Labour Party. And here's president Trump. I don't know anything. I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town. A town.
1:13:06 I hear he's extremely liberal.
1:13:09 Extremely.
1:13:10 So that means he probably won't open up the North Sea. You know, I gave,
1:13:15 I gave Kirstamer
1:13:16 pretty good advice. I said, open up the North Sea.
1:13:21 Go to Aberdeen, which was the hottest city in the whole in the whole continent.
1:13:26 It was the oil city. It was the oil of of Europe.
1:13:30 And they closed everything. It was terrible. I saw it I saw it before my eyes, and I couldn't believe it. The North Sea is loaded.
1:13:38 And here is the man himself.
1:13:39 Molly, what happens next? What do we know about a timetable for when exactly he steps down? Right. So while this was not a total surprise,
1:13:47 what labor leaders,
1:13:48 and what many people in the country were waiting to hear is what would actually be the process, and he did lay that out in his speech. So we have a little bit of a timeline.
1:13:56 Nominations for his replacement, so other labor leaders who could possibly take over, that will open up July 9. Then there are two options based on the British political system. So if there is only one candidate, Savannah, it will be an orderly transition, what British, journalists are calling kind of a coronation. It will pass from
1:14:14 to
1:14:15 the next person, and we're I know we're gonna get to him, but Andy Burnham is the runaway favorite. He is the former mayor of Manchester. He just won a parliament seat by a resounding margin on Friday. I'm sorry. I thought I had a clip of him. Maybe it's this one. UK prime minister Kier Starmer, has announced that he'll resign just two years after winning a landslide election victory.
1:14:33 He becomes the sixth British prime minister in a decade to quit, an extraordinary level of churn in a country long known for political stability.
1:14:41 In an emotional statement here in Downing Street, Starmor said he accepted that the Labour Party no longer thinks he's the right person to lead it. The party will now choose a new leader who will also become prime minister within weeks. Nominations open on the July 9. They close a week later, and the new leader will be in office by September 1.
1:15:00 It could also happen a lot quicker than that.
1:15:03 The leading contender to replace Starmer is the ex Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham, who last week won a special election for a seat in parliament Where is he? Express purpose of coming to London to challenge Pierce Arma. There's enormous enthusiasm among law labor lawmakers
1:15:19 for Burnham because they are desperate for a charismatic leader who can reverse the party's failing fortunes.
1:15:25 The chances of, Burnham I'm sorry. I thought I had a a recording of him. I don't have it for some reason. I should mention something some one analyst did on one of these Sorry about that. Foreign channels about which which
1:15:39 mirrors my commentary about McGovern
1:15:42 and the seventies
1:15:44 Mhmm. And Nixon, which was that the the British parliament and the British
1:15:50 prime ministerships
1:15:51 had gone extremely left wing
1:15:54 in the seventies
1:15:56 resulting I think it was in '78 when Margaret Thatcher ended up the the iron lady took over
1:16:02 as a conservative, and they and they ran the government fairly
1:16:06 for years after that. And this isn't this is supposed to be another iteration of that lefty, which is leftist, these guys. Yep. Yep. The labor party is is you know, there's they're against freedom of speech. They're for pro immigration,
1:16:20 open borders, all the same stuff that No flags. DSA is doing. Yep.
1:16:24 And they're getting trounced, and this this is gonna end up with some Thatcherite
1:16:30 type character Civil war.
1:16:33 Civil war. Civil
1:16:34 war. Civil war. We never see these civil wars. Everyone talks about
1:16:39 Oh, okay.
1:16:42 When you get when you get the
1:16:45 War. You get those guys from the North all mad, know, they they come down and they start marching the streets with their pitchforks
1:16:51 and their shovels and their torches.
1:16:53 Yeah. Oh, yeah.
1:16:57 It's amazing how, you know, you hear Tommy Robinson. I hear people talking about Tommy Robinson. Tommy Robinson, I heard one of his recent little presentations.
1:17:04 He's he is quite good.
1:17:07 Yeah. He is a criminal.
1:17:10 He is He's a criminal, but he's really good. He's a he's a hater.
1:17:14 He's far right. He's a hater, but he's really good. He's very good at what he does. And he's been over here in Texas telling everybody the Muslims are gonna kill us all.
1:17:23 No. Yes. Oh, yeah. Tommy Robinson was in Texas? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. When was this?
1:17:29 I'd say maybe six weeks ago, two months ago.
1:17:33 Oh, he was on Really? Oh, he was on I'm here to hear about this. He was on Laura Logan show. He was here. I could have gone over and said hi. You should have gone over and said hi. They they didn't tell me. I just saw it come through on my feed like, oh, Tommy was here. Okay.
1:17:47 Yeah.
1:17:48 That he was going to churches everywhere, rattling everybody up. Muslims are gonna get you. You got you got maybe maybe
1:17:54 eighteen months. Supposed to get eighteen Eighteen
1:17:57 months. Look at us. Eighteen months. Okay. I'm gonna write the let me write this down. Yeah. That's what I said.
1:18:05 Yes. And yes, for those of you
1:18:08 wondering,
1:18:09 Cecile the giraffe has been found. Cecile the giraffe is safe.
1:18:13 We had a giraffe escape. But it wasn't really here. We have giraffes here in Fredericksburg, but that wasn't one of our giraffes.
1:18:20 People think No. Was just the local ladies. Right?
1:18:23 People
1:18:25 hear, Hill country. Oh, that must be where Adam is. Hill Country is pretty big. Uvalde is hill country and that's a four and a half hour drive. So, yeah,
1:18:34 was not here. But we do have giraffes.
1:18:39 Rand Paul not letting up on on Fauci?
1:18:43 Good. Two clear cut cases against him, lying to congress which is a felony, but also destroying public records.
1:18:50 We now have emails that he distributed to Francis Collins and others saying, hey, read this and then destroy it. That is against the law. You're not allowed to do that in the executive branch. It's clear, you know, his only argument is, oh, it wasn't about government and it clearly was and I think a jury would decide. So I still would prosecute him. And I went digging for some Yeah. Good luck. By the way, since we've already determined that this whole COVID because the mRNA and the stuff from Robert Malone and we played the clips and this is all a CIA deal.
1:19:22 And the the CIA,
1:19:24 you know, came up with the mRNA and they started Moderna. We know that. It's it was done by co the the operation in Silicon Valley,
1:19:31 one of the investment, arms.
1:19:33 And they can't admit they're wrong about it. They're behind the whole thing. They're behind the fight. Fauci's never gonna get,
1:19:39 prosecuted
1:19:40 for anything because he was going along with it. And, you know, he played ball.
1:19:45 And Rand Paul's gonna get himself beat up by another neighbor if he keeps this up. Here is the analysis whether this is actually possible or not considering the pardon that he received from president Biden. Senator Paul was on our show last week and said doctor Fauci's preemptive pardon from president Biden
1:20:01 should be challenged in court. Take a listen to what he had to say.
1:20:05 We've never had a pardon that's gone to court that was granted for an unspecified crime.
1:20:10 So he's been pardoned for any crime he might have committed over a ten year period.
1:20:15 He's never been charged with a crime. So how do you pardon someone in advance of a charge and for any crime they might be charged with,
1:20:24 over a ten year period?
1:20:26 So I think a court could look at this and say, that's way too broad. If you didn't specifically pardon him for something, he's not pardoned. So I think it should be challenged in court, and I think it's worthwhile. But,
1:20:37 he's guilty of several felonies. He's guilty of lying to congress on gain of function, but he's also guilty of destroying records. That one's an open shut case. So, Jonathan, from a legal standpoint, senator Paul, I mean, he has a bit of a point there. There was no crime to be pardoned at the time.
1:20:53 How strong is that argument that a pardon this broad and
1:20:58 unspecified
1:20:58 could be challenged?
1:21:00 Yeah. I think that he had a number of good points within there. Remember the the other pardon only applies to federal offenses, not state offenses. So if any state offenses apply, that that wouldn't cover them. But I think the point is this sort of this overly broad question. I pardon you. Typically, he's right. It doesn't have to be something that's been charged or convicted, but it usually has to be specified as I pardon you for this crime or this cause course of action. So I think that's a problem. The secondary problem is there's the auto pen issue that we all talked about. But for
1:21:33 it's okay if it's signed by an auto pen, but the question is, should president Biden knowingly and violent knowingly and intelligently
1:21:40 sign off or delegate this pardon? So that's a secondary question as well. But this is certainly a unique situation that has such a broad pardon. I think what ultimately helps,
1:21:50 Fauci is the courts typically are gonna give a lot of deference to the federal,
1:21:55 to the executive branch on these types of things, particularly for pardons that are primarily that that they are an executive function.
1:22:03 So even if a court doesn't believe it's too broad and believes it maybe not knowingly and voluntarily
1:22:09 made, they still may not wanna weigh into it. But but my there there's certainly legitimate questions to be answered. Blah blah blah.
1:22:16 Can I can I here's a question for you? Blah blah blah. Okay.
1:22:21 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a question for you. Alright.
1:22:24 They keep bringing this up. Yeah. He said the auto pan, we don't know that Biden knew what he was doing, but hey.
1:22:32 News flash, Biden's
1:22:34 still alive.
1:22:35 Why don't somebody why doesn't somebody go over and ask him specifically?
1:22:39 Hey. You know about this pardon? Did you know anything about it?
1:22:43 Just show it to him and say, did you sign you you what what is this? You mean, like, from the news media? Or or Oh, for me, I don't care. News media be congress,
1:22:53 would wanna Rand Paul's secretaries. Anybody.
1:22:57 They keep talking about, we don't know that Biden even knew he was signing a thing for Fauci.
1:23:02 The guy's still alive. Go ask him.
1:23:08 Well,
1:23:09 it's not it's not a bad idea.
1:23:11 But that would that would kind of ruin the fun of doing a podcast
1:23:15 where you can Oh, no. It's we gave him that one particular topic. Where you can speculate
1:23:20 and
1:23:20 Yeah. Speculate and shoot the shit. Shoot the shit a bit. Blah blah blah. Get a close-up with my cans on my head. Yeah. That's what you do. You need those cans on your head. So the
1:23:32 the
1:23:33 the UFO UAP thing is falling apart. That's just that's just not going nowhere.
1:23:40 Well, that's because the movie's over. And the movie The movie came out. It's a dud. It's a dud. Nobody likes it. Didn't happen. And now, this was NBC,
1:23:48 so they
1:23:49 they caught up with the people who supposedly from the New York Times are responsible
1:23:54 for the modern disclosure
1:23:56 movement.
1:23:58 What?
1:23:59 Yeah. Exactly. And here's an interview on NBC with them. This this whole thing and even when you hear them, you're like, what? These people started this? I can tell you, we do know exactly where this whole modern day disclosure push started.
1:24:13 It traces back to a very specific New York Times story. You might have read it where a reporter met two national security and Pentagon insiders ready to blow the whistle on secret programs the government had on UFOs. And guess what? We caught up with the three of them today in congress.
1:24:30 And this Pandora's box that we now see, this,
1:24:34 UAP
1:24:35 disclosure push, it all started
1:24:37 with the three of you. Right?
1:24:40 I would say it started with the two of them, and then they came to me. So I would say it started with the No.
1:24:46 I would say it started with this guy who I'm not I had nothing to do with it.
1:24:51 There's your answer. Was there, like, a secret bench or,
1:24:55 was there a handoff on We in the hotel. We in the hotel lobby. Well, was it? But but they had a sort of large lobby area that you could go off and be private. And it's like almost like a
1:25:05 restaurant. Big space, I remember. I mean, am I allowed to say that you were you were frightened because you were going out and putting it mildly.
1:25:14 These people sound like morons.
1:25:18 These are the people who started this? Are you serious?
1:25:21 Well, a New York Times reporter found two of these people Yep. And started shooting the crap with them and then ended up with the story that started the whole thing is what Mhmm. Mhmm. Were being told and the whole thing was, I don't know. Yeah. The whole thing is, I don't know. Yeah. We were having a lunch and Right. I said, I think we got some UFO docs somewhere. I don't know. Here's here's a couple, couple more clips. Do you anticipate
1:25:45 the release of some higher fidelity video that could completely put this issue to bed? So first of all, it's not up to me, but I will tell you
1:25:55 there are efforts behind the scenes
1:25:58 to to do exactly that. That decision is not mine. But I think if you were to ask Chris or
1:26:04 Leslie or myself,
1:26:06 you know, there are efforts underway right now
1:26:09 to try and compel some of these organizations
1:26:12 to strip the metadata of some of these videos
1:26:15 and provide them to the American people so so the American people can see exactly what some of us
1:26:21 have already been exposed to in the past. The more sophisticated
1:26:24 or the more compelling from our terms the video is, the harder it is to get it declassified.
1:26:29 I'm not sure what this stripped the metadata has to do with it. This is it's it's very odd.
1:26:35 Like This is another thing that came up with the Nancy
1:26:39 Guthrie bullcrap,
1:26:41 where these guys are trying to extract a Bitcoin.
1:26:44 They said, well, the
1:26:46 TMZ says to the guy, well, send us at least some pictures or something. And the guy says, no. Because the metadata will make it so I'm identifiable.
1:26:55 Well, metadata's on there already if they're gonna give away the,
1:26:58 this phone that was buried somewhere. Mhmm. Yeah. Metadata, you can get rid of metadata. There almost any
1:27:05 photo editor will take the metadata out. Right. But why why does why does NASA or the Pentagon have to take away the metadata? I don't understand. Well, that's the other thing. What difference does this make? And here's the last It's usually just telling you what camera it was. Well, speaking of photos. A month ago during the second tranche release, there were multiple files and videos released by NASA itself
1:27:27 where they have pictures taken from the surface of the moon
1:27:30 during the Apollo mission,
1:27:32 where they have taken pictures, photographs of some sort of anomalous activity,
1:27:37 above the surface of the moon. Now what did NASA say following that release? They said it is quite possible that what we are seeing here are actual things. These are not lens flare or anything like that.
1:27:49 And keep in mind, if you look at that contextually to what we had orbiting the moon at that time, we had one thing only, and that was the lunar orbiter,
1:27:57 waiting to rendezvous with the lunar lander.
1:28:00 There were no satellites orbiting the moon back then. So if we now have photographs. We now have audio tapes of astronauts having conversations about something. Woah.
1:28:12 The real question is what else
1:28:14 do we have? Nothing.
1:28:16 There's nothing. It was never anything. It's nothing.
1:28:20 And everyone's disappointed.
1:28:22 No one more disappointed than Sean Ryan.
1:28:25 What
1:28:26 do you think of Sean Ryan? I'm I'm not quite sure what I think of this guy.
1:28:31 I'm not even sure who he is.
1:28:33 He's this Do I know Sean Ryan? Your name rings a bell. Yeah. Is he a podcaster? Yes. He's a podcaster.
1:28:40 And he Does he wear cans?
1:28:42 No. Interestingly,
1:28:44 they don't.
1:28:45 No. He has like a lounge, like a a man cave and this two big leather seats and he's he's bald
1:28:51 and he's supposedly
1:28:53 a CIA consultant,
1:28:56 you know, military, one of these guys. And so he's he is and sometimes it's like six hour podcast, which is too long. Oh,
1:29:04 Yeah.
1:29:05 So he has physicist Brian Keating on and Sean Ryan has had it with this. He's had it. He's he can't this is nothing. It's this is all bull crap. What do you think about all this alien stuff?
1:29:16 You know, it's it's either the most exciting time to be alive or it's gonna be the most depressing time to be alive.
1:29:23 You know, it's like,
1:29:25 imagine you keep asking a girl out. Yeah. Soon soon I'll I'll disclose my intentions to you. And, you know, you're just kinda waiting in the wings, and you keep hearing things are gonna happen. It's gonna come out. Finally, we're gonna know the truth.
1:29:38 And the whole community is thinking about things and is excited about things. And then I'm sorry to say, I'm just been completely underwhelmed. This this last release
1:29:46 by president Trump and department of war, Pete Hagshaw.
1:29:50 I I tore through that like a kid on, you know, Christmas morning or
1:29:54 as soon as it came out. What'd you find?
1:29:56 I I found, you know, really it's a nice round number. I found like zero.
1:30:01 I found zero that really interested me. And worse than that, I found things that were,
1:30:06 you know, your background, you're used to dealing with kind of like psyops and and a good friend, my my friend Chad Hosh, he was he was Everybody is into psyops by the way. There's so many people on podcast now. Yes. I taught everyone how to do psyops. This was my job in the army. It's my I did the CIA.
1:30:24 I taught psy ops and I'm here on your podcast. In the psy ops, he was in US army, served in Iraq.
1:30:30 You know, they have exposure to things. Right? They're gonna they're gonna prime me for certain things. I call these psy ops, s c I ops,
1:30:39 because it sounds so bland or so.
1:30:42 Outrageous.
1:30:43 It it titillates the mind, especially if you're a nerd like me. I wanna know about extra extra dimensional beings. I wanna know about nonhumanoid biologics.
1:30:52 I wanna and and all I get to hear from people I respect, some people I've talked to, you know, I I like to say I've got the square root of your podcast,
1:31:00 I talk to a lot of the same people you've had the opportunity and honor to talk to.
1:31:04 And it's always Why is he hyperventilating?
1:31:06 Because he's on a podcast. He's a physicist.
1:31:09 Like trust me bro, or I heard or somebody said this and I can't say that. And in the military, I completely understand it. I understand you've seen things, you've done things, you're not going to be able to talk about things. Oh yeah. You're a scientist and and and you go on a show
1:31:24 like my friend, you know, Steven Bartlett show and and you get 10,000,000 views in one night, you say, well, I heard from somebody who heard from somebody and you're a physicist like this, you know, people that have come on recently on on his show.
1:31:36 It it frustrates me. This is Because that's not the way science This is exactly what's going on on the podcast. Everyone, oh, I'm a I'm a physicist, but I'm on I'm on a big podcast. Oh, I'm podcast is going to a Rogan talk about UFOs.
1:31:49 And finally
1:31:50 finally, Sean Ryan is figuring out that this is bullcrap,
1:31:53 but he has the wrong angle. I used to think there was something to this alien shit. I really did. Mhmm. Now I don't.
1:32:01 You know I just don't. You know? I've
1:32:05 interviewed
1:32:06 so many people about this
1:32:09 and I'm not talking about,
1:32:13 Avi Loeb or but,
1:32:16 you know, the the thing is is one thing that one red flag to me is you got all these all these people out there that are screaming disclosure,
1:32:25 we want disclosure,
1:32:26 they're demanding it,
1:32:28 but none of them are really working together.
1:32:31 That's right. Do you know what and so, you know, behind closed doors, off camera, they're all talking shit about each other. Exactly. It's like it's like, oh, you you want disclosure,
1:32:41 but only if you're the fucking one to disclose it. Right? You don't wanna work with anybody else all the time. Say what?
1:32:47 You just constantly?
1:32:49 Yeah. Well, that's another point. You gotta do that on your podcast. Otherwise, you know, because if you don't have cans, you might as well be swearing. You know, figure this out. You you just you wanna be the Makes him real. The guy. Mhmm. That's what it is.
1:33:02 And
1:33:03 yeah. It's so that that's like one thing. Mhmm. Another thing is I find the timing very odd Here we go. All this shit. I mean Now, we know that we know why the timing of this was. Right?
1:33:17 Yeah. The Spielberg movie. Promote the movie. Exactly. This We've talking about this for we've been doing this show almost nineteen years. We've been talking about this for nineteen years. We've seen it over and over and over. It's always in in conjunction with a movie. There's always a Hollywood entertainment product that comes with these stories,
1:33:35 but that's not the Sean Ryan conclusion. It you know, the
1:33:39 the latest batch of the
1:33:41 alien conspiracy
1:33:43 thing is, you know, stopped right at the height of the Epstein stuff
1:33:47 in No. The Iran war. Yeah. Whether you're for it against you or whatever, it's very unpopular. You know what I mean? And
1:33:55 so it's like,
1:33:57 give them aliens. You know what I mean? That's that's how I think about it now. I'm just like, this fucking bullshit. Of course, drop it right now. Exactly. And so it's I I think the timing alone is discrediting.
1:34:09 Yeah. Because it's about a movie, Sean. It's it's not about,
1:34:14 oh, oh, Epstein files, give him aliens. Okay.
1:34:18 That's I mean,
1:34:19 that's that's what CIA has developed in our country?
1:34:24 These are the people who, who are who did COVID? Yeah.
1:34:28 Well It's hard to think. Like I said, they don't ever admit they're wrong. Let's talk about Ebola, get these clips out of the way. Ebola's still going on. They haven't done anything about it. Well, why And they finally found out why. Today, I'm joined by NPR Global Health Wait. You're gonna have to you okay. The problem I have, I have two problems here. One, it says NPR one and there's just NPR. Yeah.
1:34:50 Which one are gonna play? The one that just says NPR.
1:34:53 Right. How long have we been working together, bro? Just was fearful. And
1:35:00 today, I'm joined by NPR Global Health And by the way, Ebola spelled e dollar sign b o l a. I for what reason? I don't know. And today, I'm joined by NPR global health reporter Jonathan Lambert. Hey, John. Hey, Gina. Hey, John. Hey, Gina. So you're here today to talk about the ongoing Ebola outbreak. Ebola. It's been just about the only thing I've covered over the past month and a half or so. The outbreak has gotten really big really fast. It's already the third largest Ebola outbreak on record. That's terrible. So
1:35:30 with the
1:35:31 Sorry. Stop the stop the presences. The sincerity is great. This is besides sounding so scripted and corny,
1:35:39 this is their science podcast,
1:35:41 the NPRs. This
1:35:43 is their science. This is the high end That's great. High end science podcast. That's terrible. Besides it being like really terrible and stuff. It's terrible. It's really terrible. Third largest Ebola outbreak on record. That's terrible.
1:36:01 That's
1:36:03 terrible.
1:36:03 Oh, this is fantastic. This is this is you know what? Right off the bat, I think you actually, I think you actually deserve a borderline for this. It's just so good. Even
1:36:14 though you doctored it with some editing, you doctored it, but still it's worth it. I didn't take anything away from it. You didn't take anything away. That's terrible. So
1:36:23 where do the numbers stand right now? As of now, there are over a thousand confirmed cases and over two hundred and fifty confirmed deaths, but the toll is likely much higher. Why is that?
1:36:34 Well, many What the fuck? Is that?
1:36:39 What what?
1:36:40 Ebola
1:36:41 kills people? What? Why is that? Higher. Why is that?
1:36:45 Well, many cases and deaths are probably going uncounted.
1:36:48 The outbreak is centered in a region of the Democratic Republic Of Congo that's really remote and battered by a lot of ongoing conflict. I I see how that could make responding to the outbreak. Is this an AI podcast?
1:37:00 This sounds like No. This sounds like one of those NotebookLM
1:37:03 things. That's terrible.
1:37:05 I mean, might as well be.
1:37:07 I know it's terrible. I'm not gonna argue the It's great. A lot of ongoing conflict. I I see how that could make responding to the outbreak a lot harder. You know, what has happened here? I think something else is going on that that we have stumbled onto.
1:37:22 These people are talking to their chatbot all day long. They're starting to talk like the chatbot.
1:37:28 Yes. Terrible. I can see where that would be really bad. You might be right. There's something going on here. It's ongoing conflict. I I see how that could make responding to the outbreak a lot harder. Yeah. And the virus got a head start. It was likely circulating for months before officials realized that it was. That's made it harder to
1:37:46 Come on. Come on. This is I I am going to make an Ebola podcast with AI
1:37:52 and the female voice will literally do that. Yeah.
1:37:59 I see what you mean. Ah, yeah. Officials realized that it was. That's made it harder to rein in, which is really worrisome for a disease that, on average, kills about half the people it infects. So do scientists have a sense of how bad it could get? Well,
1:38:14 the CDC projects that in the absence of robust control measures, as many as twenty thousand people could be sick by August. If it continues at that pace, it could rival the twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which killed over eleven thousand people.
1:38:30 And there are concerns that it could spread more widely in the region. So today on the show, how this became one of the largest Ebola outbreaks in history. And what has to happen to treat patients and get it under control.
1:38:42 Wow.
1:38:44 Ebola.
1:38:45 And we'll spruce it up a little bit with some of our own, bits here. Okay. So they get back and they get into the groove here. Of course,
1:38:53 you can guess who they blame.
1:38:56 Trump.
1:38:58 For the whole thing. From Trump World Health Organization we pulled out of the World War. Trump, you got it right the first time. Don't Oh. You don't have to go any further.
1:39:06 But let's go with the NPR one clip. Although, something I said what is the I was telling Tina last night in bed, I was saying, you know, a friend of mine, he's he went to have his heart checked out
1:39:18 and and he asked him kind of on the, you know, like, hey, have you seen more people with heart issues ever since
1:39:26 COVID and the vaccine? And the the cardiologist goes, oh, yeah, absolutely.
1:39:31 It's a lot more.
1:39:33 And he said, is that because of this but it's not because of the vaccine? It's not because of the vaccine? And Tina says, what was it? Climate change?
1:39:39 I mean, she my wife is good. She she could do this podcast. She could inherit it with our daughters.
1:39:48 Yeah. And today, I'm joined by NPR global health reporter Jonathan Lambert. Hey, John. Hey,
1:39:53 Hey, John. Hey, Gina. So you're here today to talk about the ongoing Ebola outbreak. Wait. Is this is this a different one?
1:40:00 Yeah. Sounds exactly the same.
1:40:03 This this is the exact same clip, John.
1:40:06 Oh, is it? Okay. Oh, brother.
1:40:09 So what you okay. Go to clip three. Well, what is number two?
1:40:13 There is That was the number two is gone. We're
1:40:17 going to number three because
1:40:19 this is where they start to they attribute blame.
1:40:23 They attribute blame and it's gonna go right to where everyone thinks. This is some so much propaganda is sickening. You but you need to say, sought three. Sought three. What?
1:40:33 That's what Meg and Kelly are. It's sound on tape. Sought sought three.
1:40:38 You have to cue me.
1:40:40 Sought three? Countries like DRC that experience a lot of Ebola outbreaks have really beefed up their surveillance systems. For instance, they've built up lab infrastructure so they can test samples that might be from Ebola patients.
1:40:53 US foreign aid really helped build up those systems, and in recent years, it's helped outbreaks get declared relatively early on. Okay. So usually, they're caught pretty early, but you're saying that didn't happen for this current situation? No. So when the outbreak was declared on May 15, that initial death toll had already reached sixty five. I track outbreaks like these pretty closely. Closely. And when I saw that announcement, I had this, like, moment of panic that I'd somehow missed earlier reports because the numbers just seemed too big for a new outbreak. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Now health officials suspect the outbreak wasn't new then, and it likely started months ago, perhaps as early as February. USAID. Why was there a delay in declaring it? A few reasons. Like I said, it's a tough region to work in because it's remote and there's conflict,
1:41:39 and the species of Ebola that's spreading is a rarer one. It's called Bundaboujo,
1:41:44 and there were only two other outbreaks of it in 2007
1:41:47 and 2012.
1:41:49 Genetically, it's, like, 30% different than the more common species. Unfortunately,
1:41:54 that means that the tests that DRC typically uses can't detect it. So cases that seemed like Ebola kept turning up negative.
1:42:02 Oh, so how did they eventually tell it was Ebola? Health officials shipped samples to a bigger lab in Kinshasa, DRC's capital, where they did more sophisticated tests.
1:42:11 But even that process was delayed. Early samples weren't shipped properly, and there were delays in those shipments. Wow. Yeah. And these outbreak surveillance activities are the kind of thing that used to be heavily supported by US foreign aid, including by USAID.
1:42:26 Orange.
1:42:31 There it is. Very good. And there's more? But wait. There's more? Well, no. Well, did they did they have to spike the ball? It's not just you. We're gonna talk about USAID.
1:42:42 Let's make sure we we focus a little bit more. And after the Trump administration's massive Trump. Cuts last year, I'm sure it was affected. Yeah. A lot of it is gone. The state department has said that it's false to claim that those cuts impacted the Ebola response, but I've spoken with a lot of global health experts who think it contributed.
1:43:04 Yep. Oh, man. It's our fault. That's right. It's your fault. It's Trump's fault that the Ebola thing broke out. That's right. It it it's so obvious. Then just boil it down. It's Musk's fault he needs to be taxed.
1:43:20 Take away half his company.
1:43:22 Yes.
1:43:23 Well, I might as well do my
1:43:26 data center to desktop segment here
1:43:29 as
1:43:30 the AI trade
1:43:32 continues to look more and more like it's just not gonna be quite as valuable as everybody thought it was.
1:43:38 We go to
1:43:40 this is a well, this is actually what's his face from the all in pod. But either way, I profoundly believe the future is composable models.
1:43:48 And you're going to every enterprise,
1:43:50 You're gonna have what Andre Karpathy called the council of LLMs.
1:43:54 You're gonna have, you know, you're gonna have Grok. You're gonna have Anthropic. You're gonna have OpenAI, Google. You're gonna have at least two of those. I would argue Grok should always be one of the two because of its dedication to the truth, and it will tell you as a business owner a politically inconvenient truth that you need to know for your data. But you're also going to have your own open weights model that URLed on your data, and you're gonna put those two together,
1:44:17 the frontier models in your own model,
1:44:20 and you are going to get, you know, real Pareto dominant outcomes.
1:44:25 And, you know, half the queries are gonna be go to the open source model, maybe 85%,
1:44:31 and only the hardest ones are then maybe they all go to open source first, and only the hardest ones are then checked
1:44:37 by the frontier models. So I think And this, by the way, is Gavin Baker, I think was a bit early investor in in
1:44:43 SpaceX and all the AI stuff. This is the future.
1:44:47 It's coming.
1:44:49 And a misconception that a lot of people have is that open source models are, you know, somehow bad for AI.
1:44:55 They're awesome for the AI infrastructure providers. They just shift economic value from the margins of the Frontier Labs
1:45:03 to the infrastructure.
1:45:06 And that's not bad for AI.
1:45:08 That's great for them. It's great for them. It's Great for them. But I do think there's still a role for these Frontier models, and it may be true. To date, frontier tokens are capturing 90% of the economic value,
1:45:20 and open source tokens are probably 80% plus of tokens processed.
1:45:24 And those ratios may be here to stay, but I just think composable models
1:45:29 are the future. There you go. Frontier tokens versus composable models. We have more buzzwords.
1:45:35 Yeah. It's ridiculous.
1:45:37 I've been burning a lot of Frontier tokens lately.
1:45:40 Have you now? Frontier
1:45:42 token is just as crazy. And then c CNBC
1:45:45 identifies
1:45:46 the
1:45:48 see, do we have
1:45:50 yes. The the the the token maximization
1:45:53 burn is a problem. Welcome back. OpenAI and Anthropic have commanded premium AI pricing. Premium AI. Is that advantage fading ahead of their public debuts? Our Kate Rooney has that story. Hey, Kate. Hi, Leslie. So OpenAI and Anthropic have seen this eye popping revenue growth during what has been just a spend at all cost attitude in corporate America. Experts tell me that may be why these AI giants are both racing towards public markets to sell that AI growth while these numbers still at this point look that good. So both have filed confidentially, Anthropic. When you look at the revenue, it was a $47,000,000,000
1:46:26 run rate that was up four x from last year. OpenAI's run rate, when you look at revenue, it's roughly doubled from a year ago. Analysts and investors I've been talking to tell me the growth rates for Anthropic
1:46:37 and OpenAI
1:46:38 are what they expect to be the fastest they're ever gonna be. That is one good reason to go public now. The concern is that some of their largest enterprise customers are starting to rein in token spending and overall AI spend. And while that's expected to continue, folks are gonna spend on AI, but one person told me what is absolutely hitting a peak, at least according to Darren Kimura. He's the CEO of AI Squared. He says the peak here is using the most expensive models for simpler tasks within organizations. As he put it, employees don't need these powerful models on the market to write emails. So the pressure, it's coming from all sides here.
1:47:12 So that should be I hear OpenAI
1:47:15 has delayed their IPO now. That's that's a bad sign for them. Uh-oh. That's a bad that's a bad sign.
1:47:21 That's not good. And I saw when you tell Horowitz on Tuesday,
1:47:26 DH unplugged everybody, Tuesdays 9PM
1:47:29 eastern, they go live, the show's out. They put does he put it out the same night or is it Wednesday morning?
1:47:35 No. No. He puts it out Right away. Faster than you do. Oh, well, the show is a third of the length
1:47:42 and it's scripted.
1:47:44 Well, you don't have get sensitive about it. No.
1:47:48 Jeez.
1:47:49 You're
1:47:50 right. Don't It's kind of an offhanded compliment that you get it out so fast. I don't want I don't even know why I responded that way. I apologize. You're very sensitive.
1:47:59 I am just so sensitive.
1:48:02 So he posts an interview with some guy
1:48:05 on X and I saw it. He's like, oh, yeah. You know, the the best thing for the AI trade now is invest in people who have big battery storage. I'm like, what?
1:48:15 So yeah. Because at peak hours, the AI is gonna switch to battery power.
1:48:21 Exactly That was you do. Is that on a disciplined investor? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, what?
1:48:27 Like, okay. For what? Forty five minutes?
1:48:31 How how long is that gonna last? I know. This is this is hilarious.
1:48:36 That's too funny.
1:48:38 Let me see. What there was something
1:48:41 it was actually something kind of concerning.
1:48:44 You know, I've I've been seeing a lot of those videos of people finding tick boxes. Have you seen the tick box? Oh, the tick box. Yeah. The tick boxes and there's these boxes that are just out in the wild and they're just teething,
1:48:57 seething with ticks. Ticks. Ticks.
1:49:00 And
1:49:02 this is from the Farm Journal and I, you know,
1:49:06 I'm with Texas Limb that,
1:49:08 you know, this is a
1:49:11 targeted operation.
1:49:13 Another op. Well, it's against the American ranchers
1:49:17 and the op is by the big meat packers. There's only three of them, think, maybe four, three. They're mainly foreign owned
1:49:24 and they just wanna bring crap cows up from South America
1:49:29 and they wanna continue doing that because there's drugs being smuggled and probably people being smuggled along with these cattle transports.
1:49:37 I don't know if they if they put the drugs in the cow,
1:49:41 but there's there's clearly a correlation between cartels and and cows, the cow cartel.
1:49:48 And this was on the Farm Journal. Well, Travis, thanks for joining us today. On June 9, you posted some photos of your cattle just covered in ticks,
1:49:57 and they're quite devastating.
1:49:58 So can you tell us what happened to these animals and when the last time was that you checked them after seeing this?
1:50:06 So that was on on Saturday.
1:50:09 We were we were in the hay and
1:50:11 right beside these cattle,
1:50:14 walked through them. The one I posted a picture of was a she was broke to show. She was a show cactus. So I actually laid hands on her in the pasture field.
1:50:24 Tuesday,
1:50:26 the guy leased this farm from called and he says, you have a heifer laying out here.
1:50:30 So we came out here and that's how we found her. It was covered in ticks. And and Monday driving through her, you couldn't see any
1:50:38 on her.
1:50:39 And Saturday,
1:50:40 I actually laid hands on her and
1:50:43 never saw a tick or or anything.
1:50:45 And we did have them tested, and it was the Asian longhorn tick on every farm, every tick we got was that species.
1:50:54 Have you ever seen ticks like this before? Your pictures are unbelievable.
1:50:58 Never.
1:50:59 My
1:51:00 dad said they had them
1:51:02 thirty or forty years ago. We were in the dairy business and and had them pretty bad one year, but nothing
1:51:07 nothing like that. It it's still bad. I'm like, you you could walk to the gate to open the gate out of the side by side, and you'll have five or six crawling up your pant leg. That's not good.
1:51:20 I don't know. This feels like something nefarious is going on. And we don't hear anything about the screwworm anymore. Screwworm just came and went.
1:51:30 I don't know.
1:51:32 Very suspicious. Well, we got ranchers out there. They'll let us know what what they think. We got we have the best producers in the universe after all.
1:51:40 The TPS,
1:51:43 big win or
1:51:44 as the headlines go, Supreme Court hands Donald Trump a big win.
1:51:50 Hands him a big win.
1:51:53 And this is the temporary protective status which we've been talking about for the length of this show
1:51:59 and probably ever since the Haitian earthquake.
1:52:03 And it it's kind of interesting because didn't didn't,
1:52:06 Obama
1:52:07 and Clinton
1:52:09 and Bush, didn't they raise
1:52:11 hundreds of billions of dollars for Haiti?
1:52:15 Yeah. And don't send your blankets or your water. Just send your cash. Yeah.
1:52:20 And, but somehow, the Haitians who, as you know, are eating the They never dogs got any of it. They're eating the dogs. They're well, yeah.
1:52:28 I got definitely the Haitians are being kicked out of the country too.
1:52:32 Do you have a clip on that?
1:52:34 I have a Tom Homan,
1:52:37 a short clip about
1:52:40 the immigration. The TPS decision that the US Supreme Court, just six three,
1:52:45 about,
1:52:47 they can allow so the president has the constitutional authority to make it temporary and not permanent. It's the right call. You know, I've been doing this since 1984.
1:52:56 TPS has never been temporary. That's
1:52:58 why the whole statute
1:53:00 exists.
1:53:01 Temporarily give people protection while the country's in turmoil or or after they suffer a hurricane. But the problem is no administration
1:53:10 has have had the guts to actually follow that statue. President Trump has the guts to follow the law. So temporary means temporary. When the condition of that country gets better, they need to go home.
1:53:20 There are you know, there are millions of people who stay in line, wanna be part of the greatest nation on earth. And that goes back to my early point. People say, why are wrestling if they're not killed during ten years?
1:53:29 Because they cheated the system.
1:53:32 They may have been in ten years, let's remember when you enter the country of legalistic crime and they're doing that, putting themselves in front of the line while millions of people are taking their test,
1:53:40 doing their background investigation, paying their fees to be part of greatest nation on earth. So temporary means temporary and I'm I'm grateful for that decision. I know a lot of people wanna send blankets or water.
1:53:52 Just send your cash. Yep. Just send your cash. Now they got a lot of cash. And then didn't they build one hotel, the Bill Clinton Hotel and a couple of homes? Yeah. On the other side of the island Sean Penn Sean Penn built a couple of homes and then they had the the island where the cruise ships rolled up
1:54:09 and there was like a hooker's paradise.
1:54:12 Yeah. And then Clinton's
1:54:14 was it
1:54:15 Clinton's brother
1:54:17 who got the gold rights in Haiti?
1:54:20 And then there was I forgot about that part. Smuggling out kids. The whole thing was
1:54:25 Yeah. Was so tawdry.
1:54:27 Tawdry. Yes. I was gonna say sketchy, but tawdry is a better word.
1:54:31 And so now it's time to go.
1:54:34 And then, you know, of course, now is the problem with Well, in NPR, all they do is moan about this. Yeah. And they say, well, these poor people, they they're locked into the community. They've been here for some over a decade
1:54:45 Mhmm. And they got jobs and family, and it's a shame.
1:54:49 And I more I was thinking about, yeah, the you what
1:54:52 Tollman indicated was, yeah, you do temporary thing and you never ship them back. Right. That's been the the strategy.
1:55:00 We just don't ship them back ever. No. In fact, we ship them in and we ship them to specific locations where factories need be labor. Vote democrat.
1:55:10 And they can eat the pets.
1:55:12 They can eat the dogs. I still think Trump won on that line.
1:55:16 They did. You're eating the dogs. Oh, no. No. Let's let's get the let's get it good. Let's get the
1:55:22 hold on. Where is it? Here we go. They're eating the dogs. Oh, man. So good.
1:55:34 In context, it's even funnier
1:55:37 because,
1:55:38 you know, Camilla was on some sort of a roll,
1:55:41 and and he interrupted her with that line. Here's the She's out of the blue. Here's the full line. In Springfield,
1:55:48 they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating
1:55:54 they're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame. It's a shame. Yeah. It's a shame. It's a shame. It's a shame. It's that's the line of the day. It's a shame. It's a shame. They're eating the dogs. Yes.
1:56:13 Alright. What else you got? You wanna roll, one more out here?
1:56:17 Take your Well, I got a couple of things, but if you A lot of interesting things. You got airline organization
1:56:22 crashes. Yeah. This is good. What play that airline organization
1:56:25 crashes thing. This is something fishy about this. The most recent close call happened this weekend. Confusion.
1:56:31 As a Delta flight aborted its landing in Boston after a cockpit collision alert warned that an American jet was just 300 feet away on an intersecting runway. Delta three
1:56:43 American 312352.
1:56:45 I'm going around because of American. American 3161, where are you going? Keep clear. Just for takeoff, 3161.
1:56:50 Today, a stunning revelation from the organization that represents the nation's airlines. There are many more, thousands of more of near misses
1:56:58 than are are probably out there in the public and that, you know, get get the headlines. There are hundreds of them every single day. But only a fraction make the news. The FAA says most reported incidents are not close calls and that runway incursion rates have decreased more than 10% since last year. In April, the FAA says two southwest planes came within 500 feet of each other over Nashville. Cancel your landing clearance. Cancel your post clearance. And a close call between two regional jets at New York's JFK Airport. Do you fly through those storage course on a 31 West? Correct immediately. Wilco, Brickyard 4464.
1:57:32 And following horrific crashes in Washington, Louisville, and New York. This has been a year when we've had many, many serious close calls. The pilots union and NTSB want congress to require all planes to have precise GPS based air traffic receivers
1:57:48 that show surrounding air traffic, something the American Airlines crew did not have in the fatal midair crash over Washington. If we don't have a deadline, it'll never happen. While the senate wants to set a deadline, the house has declined, concerned that it would create an excessive burden on airlines and aircraft owners.
1:58:07 Well, a couple things about this.
1:58:10 First of all, the we have more air traffic controllers than anybody,
1:58:15 any podcast anywhere.
1:58:17 And I'm a little just a just I have a twinge of disappointment that no one has contacted
1:58:23 me with their opinion on this.
1:58:28 There I think a couple of things happened within the particular case of the the crossed runways.
1:58:36 The air this is not abnormal,
1:58:39 this type of clearance for
1:58:41 for you have one on final, which is kinda short final, and you have one taking off. That's not abnormal.
1:58:48 Two things though, the controller did not say clear for departure immediately or make it fast, you know, there's a whole bunch of things you hear in from
1:58:57 air traffic control, which means go now and you know, move in. There's a whole bunch of ways they say it. That didn't happen.
1:59:03 And it still took about thirty to forty seconds before
1:59:07 the American airline took off.
1:59:10 But then there's also
1:59:12 from what I understand, all these major airports have the runway light incursion system. That's probably not what it's called.
1:59:20 And it's automatic. It's it's not it's not something ATC flips on. So if there's an aircraft incoming or that is about to cross the runway,
1:59:28 red lights light up all across the runway. We don't know if that worked or not or if it was ignored. So that that's a safety measure that was put in specifically for this. But ultimately,
1:59:39 it's all about military contractors with the next gen aviation system. That's what everybody wants. Where is that anyway? That's what they want. They want more
1:59:48 more gear.
1:59:50 And More gear. New gear. New gear, more gear. Yeah. That that's probably Of course. And that's what you do. That's what you And you know what? And just just
1:59:58 say a prayer for your air traffic controllers because they do a great job and for your pilots.
2:00:03 And you know what? Shit happens.
2:00:06 33,000
2:00:07 flights a day over The United States. Exactly. Exactly. It's a lot. The most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport.
2:00:15 That's just the truth. It reminds me of one of my we have these stories called Phyllis stories. This is my mom. Oh. She always said these You've you've said stories that your mom would tell us. You I didn't never knew her name was Phyllis.
2:00:28 Yeah. Phyllis. So she so we have these Phyllis stories. Wait. The most legendary Phyllis story is that the Chinese are stealing our toilet paper. Oh, yeah. The toilet paper story, but this she has she has this one too. This is another classic. This is also the brown chicken eggs,
2:00:43 but they would Phyllis stories.
2:00:46 So this story
2:00:47 so I'm going on some trip,
2:00:50 and,
2:00:52 it's just a classic response
2:00:54 to anything I ever said to her. She says, why are going on a trip? I said, I'm going to Europe. She's, oh, it's so unsafe. It's so unsafe to fly. I said, mom, there's 33,000
2:01:06 flights a day
2:01:08 every day. How unsafe could it be? She says, oh
2:01:11 my.
2:01:12 No wonder there's so much air pollution.
2:01:17 It's just like
2:01:19 without missing a beat.
2:01:21 That's so that's where you get it from. Now I understand. It's all Phyllis. Phyllis it's the Phyllis DNA
2:01:28 that's running through your veins. That's what's going on there. And with that, wanna I thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the c's in the
2:01:36 what do we have?
2:01:39 Where was it?
2:01:40 Oh, the cow There's a crash. The cow cartel. No cow cartel. Cow cartel. Hey, everybody. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only mister John
2:01:50 C.
2:01:51 Dvorak.
2:01:54 Hey. How are you? Good morning, mister Henry. You should be seeing Mr. Dvorak in the air. Subs in the water, the Dame's the Knight's out there. See in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Don't load Letting Township. Don't count Oh,
2:02:06 it's doing better.
2:02:08 What do we have here? $15.63.
2:02:11 There you go. Over 5th oh, and a half thousand people
2:02:15 listening live to this to this podcast. Top that, Sean Ryan.
2:02:20 We do it live, baby. That's with no editing.
2:02:23 We also won't do it six hours. Well, we've done six hours once. Seven point five. Was that it on the one thousandth anniversary?
2:02:31 Was it was it episode 1,000? Was that when we did that? It was tenth anniversary.
2:02:36 Oh, tenth anniversary. Well, okay.
2:02:39 19 will be such a disappointment.
2:02:43 Just nineteen years, not even twenty. I gotta make it to 20 at least. I I really pre before we start getting into any of this, I wanna make an announcement, there's no more Red Knights available.
2:02:53 What?
2:02:54 How about the guy that just emailed today? Did he get in?
2:02:57 That's the last one. That guy. He got in? Oh, okay. Because I saw that. I'm like, oh. No. The guy's he took the rest of them. Oh, okay. Oh, he's He's coming in with a rubble this will be on this Thursday show. He's coming in with a Rubbilizer donation. He's gonna No way. Scarf up the end of the thing. Oh, so they're they're done. They're they're scarf. They're they're out. He he came in and got them for his whole family? Yeah. Jay did a double count today, we're we're done. Okay. Wow. Alright. I mean but maybe by popular demand, we'd make some more, but it has to. Nah. I don't think. Probably not. You're healed. I mean, let's be honest about it. It's it's done. You're back. We saved you. We gave you a reason to live.
2:03:35 You're here. You're here. You got a reason to live.
2:03:39 No Agenda show.
2:03:40 Hey. Hey.
2:03:42 What? Are you knocking this? Hey. Come on, man. Yes.
2:03:47 The No Agenda. It's like it's like slave labor
2:03:51 forced to do this show. Wake up. Get up. Get back to the show.
2:03:57 That's
2:03:58 exactly what Mimi was saying.
2:04:00 And Mimi, the whole the public.
2:04:05 We have to do this show or else. The funny is was your family not concerned at all. Now we just gotta give them a reason to live. Let's show them the cash.
2:04:13 Oh,
2:04:17 that's right. We we
2:04:19 laugh a lot on this show, that's for sure.
2:04:22 People who are listening live, they're using one of those modern podcast apps, get one now today. What are you waiting for? Stop using legacy stuff. It's it's really not worth it. You can listen to us live when we go live. If not, don't worry about it. Within ninety seconds of publishing, you'll get a notification on the modern podcast app. Podcastapps.com.
2:04:41 So we're Value4Value,
2:04:43 which is kind of interesting how we have a lot of recurring Value4Value
2:04:48 don'ts. We gotta talk about Manuka Gold though. They gotta slow down a bit on the
2:04:53 on their on their notes.
2:04:55 Have you noticed this?
2:04:57 Hello?
2:04:58 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I didn't look at today's. Oh, no. You'll see.
2:05:03 So
2:05:04 the the beauty of of Value4Value
2:05:06 is that we give you the show. We're not we're not forcing you to subscribe to anything. We're not taking we're not taking money out of your bank account every single month unless you want us to,
2:05:17 but we just want you to return the value whenever you feel that you've received value from the show. It could just be a laugh, it could be
2:05:24 an a career opportunity, could be something that made you feel smart around the water cooler. Are there still water coolers in businesses? I don't even know anymore.
2:05:32 I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. People just, probably not. Once in a while, you'll see one. Yeah. Yeah. Well, where do people hang out? Do they even hang out anymore? Is this part of the loneliness epidemic? No. They're on there looking at their phones. It's not and the loneliness epidemic, did did did
2:05:46 pastor Jimmy No. Brian. Bring up Satan's tool? It was pastor Brian.
2:05:51 Oh, Brian? One of the Brian's, one of the four Brian's he'd come up there? Yes. Did he hold was he holding up Satan's tool, the antichrist that called the smartphone and blamed the whole thing on that? Because that's the real issue. He actually did.
2:06:04 Well, good for him. He but it was an iPad, but he did and he An iPad? Yeah. That's a Well, he had to do it for effect because he needed to show.
2:06:14 Oh, yeah. Because he probably was on the phone all day like everyone else.
2:06:20 PB is a good guy. PB one. We got a lot of PBs over there.
2:06:25 So,
2:06:26 yes. Where was I? You've confused me.
2:06:29 We are Value4Value
2:06:31 which means
2:06:33 if you support the show, we will thank you. If it's above $50, we'll thank you on the show. If not, we for reasons of anonymity, we don't do anything below $50. And there's a lot of people who send very small amounts which is all appreciated. Everybody should be sending some small amount at some point in time
2:06:50 considering we have a lot of people listening.
2:06:53 It would be nice if every if everyone did it, know, we
2:06:56 know that doesn't work. Oh, so Wikipedia,
2:07:00 which is Wikimedia,
2:07:01 someone sent me their their latest fund fundraising drive and they're about the same as us. They say, you know, of all the people use Wikipedia. Now Wikipedia is no longer an outstanding product. Wikipedia sucks.
2:07:12 They really ruin that product.
2:07:15 But
2:07:15 in their own
2:07:17 value for value
2:07:19 ask,
2:07:20 they say about
2:07:21 2% of people who use Wikipedia support it.
2:07:25 And they're doing millions.
2:07:27 They're doing millions Yeah. Because 2% of their usage is off to charge. It's hundreds of millions of people. Yeah. They're they're doing quite well there or at least they're hanging in.
2:07:38 And so we No. They're doing well if there's yeah. We have a we have a promise that if you are able to support us with $200 or more,
2:07:46 not only will we give you an official Hollywood title, and it's real because Hollywood you can go look at it. Lots of Hollywood people have this and these are the Hollywood people who soon will be special guests at your meetup.
2:07:57 You get the associate executive producer title and we will read your note.
2:08:02 Guaranteed.
2:08:03 Within reason.
2:08:04 $300
2:08:05 or more, you get an executive producer credit and we will read your note within reason. So what a lot of people have done is they receive value from the show and this use it's family business. You got Elia Coffee guy, Linda Lou Patkin
2:08:18 and they'll have a little plug. You know, we're happy to read the plug
2:08:22 But but then,
2:08:24 you know, there's there's a limit because it's a beautiful system. Is it really advertising?
2:08:29 No.
2:08:30 Because we don't have any conversations, we don't set a rate, we don't have a rate card,
2:08:35 we don't have a meeting. Rate card. We
2:08:38 don't have a meeting,
2:08:39 we don't have to provide statistics and our CPM value, which by the way, when you think about it, the whole fact that podcasting,
2:08:48 that people sell ads based on CPM,
2:08:51 it can only be a race to the bottom
2:08:54 when you insert ads at your pre roll. I mean, how there's 4,000,000
2:08:59 podcasts.
2:09:00 It's gonna be 5,000,000 within a year with all the AI slop casts that are going out there.
2:09:05 And so there's just all this inventory
2:09:08 that means it's only become becoming less valuable.
2:09:11 Yeah. Too much inventory. Yeah. I mean, there's unlimited in inventory. How much podcast Infinite. Infinite. Thank you. It's infinite. So it's it's not a winning strategy and it's annoying.
2:09:24 So we decided we'll just do it this way. And, you know, I I love the small businesses
2:09:29 because they they get as much a kick out of the No Agenda community as we do because people send notes and they thank them for their product and they give them their testimonials.
2:09:42 And so you'll see we have a couple of those today and and some of them are really funny, but just really Manuka Gold really got me today. So first we start
2:09:51 with Well, then you give them enough plugs right now. You don't even have to read their note.
2:09:55 No. It seems to I'm not gonna be like that. You're get you I'm Well,
2:10:00 I wasn't really suggesting. I'm just saying I'm going to scold as though they don't get bang for their buck.
2:10:05 I'm going to scold them. Now, what is this,
2:10:08 is this meetup money that came in here at the top of the list? This is money no. You you just skip it. It is the okay. The old Legacy account
2:10:18 Yeah.
2:10:19 Which was the the old $5, $2, $1,
2:10:22 those old has been building up for about ten years. Oh.
2:10:27 Nickel and dime, nickel and dime. That's about five years' worth. I had to move it over
2:10:33 because I gotta get move it over. I I got you just gotta eventually get a gotta move it over. It's gotta be moved over. So I moved it over for load balancing.
2:10:42 We
2:10:43 needed the money. Wait. Load balancing. Holy moly. Alright. I love the load balancing. Okay. So I can just ignore that. Yeah. Just ignore that. Alright. So then we go to
2:10:55 Brendan Flemmer.
2:10:56 Am I saying that right? Am I on the right note here?
2:10:59 I I didn't even see this note initially, so I have some work to do here.

2:15:01 as
2:15:02 near as I can tell, most people can expect to get one of these in a lifetime.
2:15:06 I'm sure the numerology nerds out there can do some predicting and forecast show donations on this basis.
2:15:13 Yeah. They can, and the show donations are down.
2:15:16 Maybe this will keep John smiling. No. Thank you for your courage.
2:15:21 Knight John, protector of the pocket protectors and keeper of his 15 grandchildren.

We've enjoyed all the fun ITM comments when you place your orders and it's nice to hear from all the like minded people. On Thursdays, it's my fault. Adam noticed we changed the 20% off code to track what works, he might as well make the code fun for all of us and solve a long standing debate in our family.
2:16:44 Who
2:16:45 do you think needs Manuka Gold pain relief gel more? Rocky after Apollo in Rocky one or Rambo Oh, god.

2:17:07 Don't you think they're pushing? Am I wrong that they're pushing it here?
2:17:11 Well, belaboring
2:17:13 is the word I'd be using Yes.
2:17:15 And I I and I don't think it's,
2:17:17 the gag is not that funny.
2:17:19 Exactly. Did you know that, Sylvester Stallone was banned from ever traveling to Russia because of that movie? No. Is he still banned? I think so.

2:18:31 been dedouched.
2:18:32 Hello from the southernmost island in the Caribbean Archipelago.
2:18:37 Boca Raton.
2:18:39 I found no agenda during COVID when I had a longing for simpler times and wondered what Adam Curry from MTV was up to.
2:18:48 So can you imagine?
2:18:50 Oh, man. We're locked down from COVID. I wonder what Curry is doing.
2:18:54 And I go to YouTube and see Adam's appearance on Rogan, which was just before the lockdowns. I felt like I found my tribe and immediately immediately had an amygdala resizing.
2:19:05 I'm gonna cut this short and just say thank you for everything. John, you gave us a scare, but glad you are here. Sorry I couldn't do this sooner, but better late than never. Cheers. And until the next donation, kind regards from Hunts. Thank you, Hunts.
2:19:19 Yeah. Well, thanks for the compliment. Yes. Doctor Don
2:19:23 and Dame Audra, they were at the meetup.
2:19:26 And
2:19:27 Did anyone
2:19:29 come in with cash donations? Like, blankets, water, but cash?
2:19:33 Well,
2:19:34 this is interesting because everyone comes in with all the donations from the meetup were cash Okay. Except for one.
2:19:39 Alright. Except for one. Did you do you have them all or are they on the spreadsheet? They're all mixed in. They're in here. I there wasn't there wasn't a there wasn't no consolidation. Okay. Alright.
2:19:49 It wasn't necessary. Mhmm.
2:19:52 So they just they blended right in. Blended. So we got a note. Hello, boys.
2:19:57 Thank you for your courage. A little feedback for crazy Steve.
2:20:01 Please don't ever schedule a meetup on pride weekend.
2:20:05 What? He had a did he have a The traffic through the Bay East Bay was horrendous. Mhmm. Worse than legacy podcast
2:20:12 apps.
2:20:16 Many thanks to you, John and Ed, but would that may have been the problem with the meetup being so poorly attended. Half half of our audience was in the parade. They're in the pride parade,
2:20:26 Now that I think about it.
2:20:28 Many thanks to you, John and Adam, and the entire No Agenda back office for the gift of the best podcast in the universe.
2:20:34 Love doctor Don and Dame Audra. Brixon Man and Minifig steals from old people.
2:20:41 That's some code for Now
2:20:43 What is this Apple notepaper?
2:20:46 Well, he's works at Apple. He's one of the Apple guys Oh. That watches the show and he is He watches the show. Wow. Those guys at Apple What am I saying? They got some With the cans. With the cans on. Yeah. Well, with the can he's blind, so I'm sorry I said that.
2:21:01 You're even worse. Brought it to my attention. You're the worst.
2:21:06 He brought
2:21:08 and gave me
2:21:11 the new $1.
2:21:13 Apparently every state's got one. These these commemorative $1 were sold out.
2:21:19 He has a bag of them. Of the $1 coin, California
2:21:23 commemorative coin, official real coin,
2:21:27 with Steve Jobs on it. No way.
2:21:31 So Steve Jobs got on the coin.
2:21:34 At like a real dollar. You can spend it in the store. Yes. It's an actual US
2:21:39 currency dollar. What?
2:21:42 And it's got Steve Jobs on on it.
2:21:46 It was funny when Brandon looked at the coin, he says he says that the Steve Jobs depiction
2:21:51 on the back looked like,
2:21:53 that Ramirez guy, the, serial killer, kinda looked like him.
2:22:00 And so,
2:22:02 so everybody was was, you know, the same I had the same reaction. Everybody had the same reaction. This can't be real. Yeah. It doesn't supposed to be it was determined that Steve was the most important
2:22:13 Californian that we could put on this coin. And
2:22:19 California minted this themselves?
2:22:21 No. No. This was minted from The US trade the regular whoever stamps out the coins back, think, Philadelphia. Bessen did it himself, personally.
2:22:29 So
2:22:30 so these coins, then they only made a limited number. They're already selling for $6. Looks they're gonna go to 20.
2:22:37 And I
2:22:39 was thinking, what it you all the people that could have been put on this coin, Californians,
2:22:45 why they pick Steve Jobs? I don't know. But at the same time, it according to,
2:22:50 Don,
2:22:51 they sold out No. I bet they did. In twelve minutes.
2:22:57 And he got a bag of them. He got a whole bag and he gave was giving them to other Apple people. Oh, that's cool.
2:23:04 Cool
2:23:05 it is. As on the side, I I apologize.
2:23:08 I had no idea the
2:23:11 Rocky versus Rambo would be such a hit. The Troll Room is still arguing over it.
2:23:18 Oh, well, okay. Well, I take it back. Great promotion. We've been wrong before. Yeah. Yeah. At least we admit when we're wrong.
2:23:25 So That's right. Anyway, so they that was I thought was Yeah. That well, that's cool. That's cool. I'm glad you got one. Where's mine?
2:23:35 Actually, Brunetti wants one too.
2:23:38 Brunetti?
2:23:39 When Brunetti comes to the the as the guest star
2:23:42 of the meetup, you know, probably gonna do it at You're you're dodging the question.
2:23:47 About what? Where's mine? Well, he talked he had to go and hold it down.
2:23:52 Maybe he's got a couple left. He might send you one.
2:23:55 He He didn't give me one to give you. Let's put it No. That Okay. Well, that's obvious. You weren't at the meetup. I've met Steve jobs and I should get one.

2:28:58 We completely forgot the artwork
2:29:00 and I'm not sure how that happened. No. That's funny. I should have caught it. Should we do that real quick before I do the the fifties? Because when we Sure. Yeah.
2:29:09 That's part of the time, talent and treasure. We had episode eighteen eighty,
2:29:13 the Antifa book club, the artwork which was funny. It was good. Of course, it's Darren O'Neil.
2:29:19 This was our president with his snorkel coming out of the reflecting pool filled with algae with his own A lot of people like that piece. Because it's a good piece. It's humorous.
2:29:29 Although Yeah. It's very humorous. Although the AI kind of if you look at it carefully,
2:29:34 there's a what looks like a looks like a p 51 trainer
2:29:39 airplane with a banner with no agenda and this and the ropes with the banner on on the
2:29:45 far side of the Washington Monument,
2:29:47 which seems a little unlikely.
2:29:49 Yeah. Seems unlikely. Seems
2:29:52 a bit unlikely.
2:29:54 But it was a great piece and yes, and that's what it is. Sometimes, Darren O'Neil, man, he just he has it. He's got that magic.
2:30:02 Let's see. What we looked at other things though. I think there was something that I like that you I think was that much. I kinda like the the
2:30:10 well, the the Scrabble, you're right, it wasn't all that great. Well, the Scrabble is what Jay used for the newsletter.
2:30:16 So she just liked it together. Mhmm. And I call her up and say, where's she why are using this? Yeah. I think it's really good looking. Yeah. And I said, that's what Adam said. Yeah. And And then So I find it very irksome.
2:30:27 Some people like, hey, I like the No Agenda in the Reflecting Pool. We've already done one of those gags. The gag is over.
2:30:35 A lot of rodenticide,
2:30:37 a lot of dead rats, rats deteriorate. This is a little gruesome.
2:30:41 Yeah. No dead rats. But there also wasn't a lot. There wasn't a lot. It was only like maybe There was no inspiration.
2:30:47 You We like get lots of art when people get inspired by something we say. And so the Antifa book club, which is what the title of the show was, Blue Acorn did an Antifa book club art, which blowed up,
2:30:59 is a great piece of art, but it's too small
2:31:03 for the art as just a a poster size image.
2:31:07 And it's really a it's a waste because it it was really good,
2:31:12 but blowed up. It would be nice on the wall or something. Yeah. That was one of the piece you'd had. It had been huge Yeah. To to be appreciated. Alright. Now we continue with the our fifties and above and we left off with the Duke of San Francisco

2:36:10 Okay. We have a layaway knight coming up here.
2:36:14 So let me read the layaway
2:36:16 nights
2:36:18 note. This is from Jason Chapman.
2:36:21 He says, when I started on the $4 a week plan back in late twenty twenty two,
2:36:26 knighthood seemed unobtainable.
2:36:28 But weekly donations do add up, a boobs donation and a couple over 50 helped as well. I just donate and forget. Well, I just added it up and I haven't updated the spreadsheet since November and bam, I'm a knight. Please see attached accounting. Yes, we checked it. Please knight me sir l p mchenry, knight of the Fox River Valley. That's l p mchenry.
2:36:49 Just read the letters l and p and the city mchenry. Gotcha. All I need at the round table is just some hookers and blow. They're all lined up for you. If I could just get a shut up slave jingle Shut up slave.
2:37:00 I'll be happy. You gotta stick with the plan and next goal is producer credit. I'll add it to the Christmas list. Hope this wasn't too long. It was not. Thank you very much, Jason Chapman. John, get your blade out because he is stepping up on the podium next And
2:37:12 along with him, we have Brendan
2:37:15 Flemmer.
2:37:16 Both of you have supported No Agenda show in a accumulated
2:37:21 total accounting of at least thousand dollars. So I'm very proud to pronunciate both of you as knights. We have sir Flemmer and sir LP McHenry, knight of the Fox River Valley for you. We've got Hookers and Blow, Rint Boys, and Chardonnay. We've got and
2:37:37 Kombucha.

2:38:18 by a beautiful set of wax sticks.
2:38:21 They are sticks indeed and a certificate of authenticity. And welcome to the round table, our brand new knights of the No Agenda.
2:38:28 No Agenda
2:38:30 meetups.
2:38:33 Yep.
2:38:35 We talked about them earlier. The whole show, we've talked about the meetups, how important they are. They're important to your mental health.
2:38:42 And we finally have a report from Berlin, and they took their sweet time.
2:38:47 In the morning, Adam and John is Augusto, the Italian.
2:38:51 We are here in Berlin, Germany.
2:38:53 Today was a lovely day for a meetup. It was 33
2:38:56 degrees in the afternoon.
2:38:59 Hi,
2:39:01 everyone. Here is Tal from Berlin.
2:39:04 Augusto hosted another lovely meetup,
2:39:07 much nicer than the ones that I've hosted.
2:39:10 And
2:39:11 we're here with several lovely people. There's five of us all together.
2:39:15 And we,
2:39:17 yeah, had
2:39:18 some drinks and some food and some fun, and it's really been
2:39:24 a good time. Good people.
2:39:27 Hello. Greetings from Berlin.
2:39:29 Even though we are in Germany, there are no Germans among us. So if you are a German and you wanna come to the next meet up in Berlin, please do. We have a Brazilian,
2:39:38 two Americans, I'm Polish, and we have a French guy too.
2:39:42 I've resisted.
2:39:43 Greetings from Berlin. This is the first time I ever even heard of this podcast.
2:39:49 Yeah. But, yeah, these are some very nice people, and I've had a lovely evening.
2:39:55 There was all of this discussion about what am I gonna say? What are you gonna say? Everyone wants to rehearse what they're going to say.
2:40:02 But one thing that we thought we needed to mention is that the servers here in Berlin are zero interested to be part of our meetup report.
2:40:13 Okay.
2:40:17 Now he probably said this. That that actually tells us something. Yeah. That's interesting
2:40:22 information.
2:40:23 Their Germany has been so suppressed with free speech. That's right.
2:40:29 No. No. I I no. Uh-uh. I'm not gonna no. No. No. Don't put me I got nothing to do with that. I don't wanna get arrested. No. Exactly. The Gestapo are on their way. No. I don't wanna Yeah. That's exactly right. Wow. That is pathetic.
2:40:40 Yeah. Sorry for you, Germany. Well, thank you. Thank you guys for your Berlin Berlin meetup report. And it sounds like at least there are some sane people in Germany these days.
2:40:50 We also have a meetup in Alabama taking place as we speak, the Northern Alabama meetup at Mellow Mushroom in Decatur.
2:40:57 And, just underway in Longview, Texas at Roto Lo's Pizzeria, the East Texas meetup, and half century celebration.

2:41:08 On Thursday, our next show day, the Northern Wake No Agenda Pre Freedom Fest two fifty meetup at 06:00 at Saints and Scholars in Raleigh, North Carolina. And of course, no meetups on the July 4, but we do have one on the third in Oklahoma City. The eleventh in Eagle, Idaho. The fourteenth Scottsdale, Arizona.

2:42:00 Always a party.
2:42:20 We do have end of show mixes coming up from the trifecta,
2:42:23 Jess Baker, Johnny b, and MVP.
2:42:26 We've got John's tip of the day, and I do not see any ISOs from you today.
2:42:31 I felt so bad about winning the last one. Oh. When I thought you had a better ISO, I'd I'd I'd defer to that one. Yeah. But you probably can't find your old ISOs from the last show. I probably can. Well, which is the one you like better?
2:42:45 Well, if you play them, I can tell you. I think it was the first one.
2:42:50 Let's see.
2:42:53 I think it was There's nothing else like that on planet Earth. Was it that one? That was a good one. I have this one. These guys are great entertainers.
2:43:02 Very smart, very funny. I new ones. I have new ones. Highly entertaining. And I have another new one. That was great.
2:43:10 I kinda like that one. I'm a little partial to that.
2:43:13 You know what? I like the first one from the that you played just
2:43:17 from Vegas. It was the last show. This one? There's nothing else like that on planet Earth. That's the one? Yeah. Okay. We'll do that one. But first, we have to listen to John because he's got another tip of the day.
2:43:39 Alright. I got a wine tip from Costco. Hey.
2:43:42 Alright. Wake the kids. Only because people keep wanting these wine tips from Costco. That's all we really want. I'm gonna try to get a couple in a month. Okay.
2:43:51 This is a 2020
2:43:54 now the this isn't
2:43:56 this is for people who are really chardonnay aficionados.
2:43:59 I don't know if you wanna want this wine.
2:44:02 This is for the ABC
2:44:04 people.
2:44:06 ABC? Anything but Chardonnay? The women who are that's
2:44:10 that
2:44:10 use the term ABC,
2:44:12 which means anything but Chardonnay.
2:44:15 Right.
2:44:16 There's a bunch of people that started to hate it. They don't like the buttery the delicious buttery chardonnays.
2:44:22 They don't like oak.
2:44:24 They don't like this. They don't like that. This is a but they like a crisp,
2:44:29 clean chardonnay,
2:44:30 but they, you know, like a Chablis would be one of a good example from France. Yes. The in France, they have the range of Chardonnays that that's only,
2:44:39 equaled by California. We have a incredible
2:44:42 range of quality Chardonnays,
2:44:44 which is probably our best grape in fact. You did one of these recently. You did a a
2:44:50 an ABC
2:44:51 wine recommendation. Yeah. I I yeah. But it wasn't a it was actually a true ABC wine. No. Okay. Okay.
2:44:58 This is a chardonnay that qualifies because it's I consider a very well made unobtrusive
2:45:03 chardonnay
2:45:04 for people who don't like chardonnay necessarily.
2:45:07 And maybe if you like chardonnay, you'd like this wine too. It's the Ferrari Carano,
2:45:12 which they always make a good wine. It's a Sonoma Valley operation.
2:45:17 F E R R A R I dash c a r a n o.
2:45:23 2024
2:45:24 Sonoma County Chardonnay,
2:45:26 and it's available at Costco for $15.98.
2:45:30 Wow. That's a pretty that's a pretty good price. It's it's a reasonable price. What is it? Some of the ladies here, they're they're drinking something else and so they all go for not not Blanc de Blanc, that's that's bubbly. Right? Blanc de Blanc is bubbly?
2:45:44 Blanc de Blanc is typically a sparkling wine. Yeah. What is the other what's something else that
2:45:50 not a vignette? Sauvignon Blanc? No.
2:45:52 Maybe I'm
2:45:55 trying to think. Vignon Blanc?
2:45:59 I don't remember. I'm gonna have to Well, thanks a lot. That was useful. Not useful at all. Not useful.
2:46:05 You know, Matt Long came up to me. Hey. This reminds me the old hey. Hey. John. Hey, John. I had this fabulous wine at this restaurant. I can't remember. Was unbelievable.
