0:06 This is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode eighteen eighty two. This is No Agenda.

0:13 I'm awaiting the Stork, and we're broadcasting live from Museum Square in the heart of Amsterdam, The Netherlands in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

0:23 And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're awaiting 02:50.

0:27 I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzz kill. In the morning.

0:32 Yeah. That's kinda weird that I'm over here and

0:36 Look. There's no I I think it's great because it gives you it'll give you the European

0:42 perspective of r two fifty, which is a big Which which is nothing. No one cares.

0:47 They don't care. What?

0:48 They don't care. What? No. They don't care here. They don't care at all. There's there's no one walking around going, wow. Almost 200 Well, I'm sure that that's not happening, but but that's

0:59 interesting because they celebrate Black Friday.

1:02 Yeah.

1:04 Yeah. That's true. They do. How did that happen? That's you're absolutely right. I can't argue on that. They they picked up Black Friday,

1:11 but no. They no. There's there's no such thing. They don't even have Thanksgiving yet. They still have Black Friday. It's not like, you know, it's like taxi Eric picked us up from the airport

1:22 and it's not like he said, hey, almost two hundred fifty. No. No. He didn't

1:27 say that. Dvorak said he did demand a land acknowledgement.

1:31 No. But we all we are pretty excited here. I got a text from Christina. She said,

1:37 the mucus plug has fired

1:39 which

1:40 Yuck. Thanks.

1:42 It's a it's a big deal. It mean it means the baby could come soon.

1:47 The timing could be perfect

1:50 which is the main reason we're here. We're here for other reasons

1:53 to What other reasons? Well,

1:57 when my mom passed twenty years ago, it was on this day actually, July 2.

2:04 She had envelopes for the four of us, the three of us. Bob or her husband, so four of us, but the three of us. And in this she had a personal letter and there was you know, little little things

2:14 and I opened up my letter

2:16 my letter is like,

2:18 I

2:19 do not want a traditional,

2:23 you know, like a funeral.

2:25 I want you to arrange right away

2:28 a fifties party

2:30 with

2:31 a soda soda fountain and

2:34 people dressed in nineteen fifties Bobby socks

2:37 and I'm like, okay.

2:40 And so I did it and within two days on July 4,

2:43 I arranged that. I had, you know, fifties hot rods, I had the whole I had everything all set up and people came over and they hung out and

2:51 didn't quite understand what was going on. But

2:54 I did that so my sister Tiffany who lives here,

2:58 she kind of made a

3:00 family reunion

3:01 and we're all here to celebrate the twentieth

3:05 mem memorial,

3:06 I guess, of my mom. But it's kind of a family reunion.

3:09 So the Italian Curries are coming and it's gonna be fun. Everybody's here.

3:14 That's the idea.

3:18 I can tell I can tell you're floored by this. Yeah.

3:22 Well, I was like, I thought the story was leading in one direction

3:26 and then it didn't. Well, what did you expect?

3:30 Well, I thought it was like a, you know, the secret node was to be open today or something. Oh.

3:35 Oh, yeah. And the congratulations.

3:37 You have Twenty years later, you opened the node. It was $10,000,000,

3:41 Adam? It was a check for $10,000,000.

3:43 Wouldn't that Exactly.

3:45 No. So anyway, so we're on the plane and

3:48 now we booked Delta. Delta has direct flights from Austin to Amsterdam,

3:54 which I thought was only KLM, but, you know, they co chair or whatever.

3:58 Yeah. It's the same company.

4:00 Yeah. Well, not the same company, but they're the same. Yeah. Well, interesting. Might as well be. Interestingly. So we go to the Delta check and they're like, oh, no, no. You gotta go to the KLM. So my my ticket says Delta.

4:09 See, yeah, no, but you gotta check-in the KLM. Okay. So we go here. So it is a k l m aircraft. It's a k l m crew. Haven't been on a k l m plane for

4:17 a number of years actually.

4:19 And

4:20 so we're sitting down and there's the prototypical

4:23 gay steward,

4:25 you know, my age, so 56

4:27 my forties, my age. 50.

4:31 And he's like, oh,

4:32 oh, oh, oh, it's so great to have you on board. You're Christina's dad.

4:37 Oh my goodness.

4:43 Yeah. And? The the point is I used to be famous.

4:48 Oh, that's hilarious.

4:51 Wow.

4:52 Wow. Hello, penny drops. I thought it was again, I thought you were leading in another direction, which is That was that was the punchline.

5:00 Oh.

5:01 I said I said, I thought it was gonna go the following that that that was scripted and somebody's had said, you know, told this guy to say that, which has happened to me. Oh, no. And, it was you found out the fraud and it was gonna go in all kinds of directions and never did. I'm

5:16 looking at the troll room. Why why is potty mouth saying according to

5:22 Rocket Reach,

5:24 No Agenda LLC is valued at $2,000,000?

5:29 Yeah. That's with us alive and in it, dude. Where's

5:34 the We'll sell the show for 5. Yeah. That's What are you talking about? I'll sell it for 2. Good to go. Take it over, please. Hey, listen. It's time for free Let's get right to it today. Experiment by JCD.

5:48 Comparing stories from ABC,

5:50 CBS, and NBC.

5:53 The never ending symbolic That's right. John's got the big three stories from the big three. There were quite a number of stories. Most of them pretty boring and stupid, but this one Most of the stories are boring and stupid, and I will say this this was that this is No. Court came down with some decisions, and everybody focused on the one that that that burned Trump. He's trying to do stuff he can't do,

6:14 which is mainly then the so they all all blah blah blah, you know. He couldn't get his birthright citizenship thing through, and they burned him and on and on and on. So here we go with three versions of that story. Yes. Start let's start with which one do you think? We start with ABC.

6:33 ABC it is. Tonight, the supreme court rejecting president Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship,

6:39 upholding the fourteenth amendment's long standing decree that babies born in this country are born American.

6:47 Chief justice John Roberts declaring citizenship

6:50 then and now was the right to have rights, to freely participate in our political community.

6:56 The framers of the fourteenth amendment extended that promise to every freeborn person in this land. We keep that promise today.

7:05 Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissenting.

7:09 Alito calling the decision a serious mistake that will seriously affect the future.

7:15 Trump signed the executive order ending birthright citizenship

7:19 on the very first day he returned to office. That's a good one. Birthright,

7:24 that's a big one. Today, he called the court's ruling too bad for our country, adding we can easily make it up in congress through legislation.

7:34 But congress does not have the power to overturn the fourteenth amendment.

7:38 Today, the justice is handing Trump a victory on another issue he put front and center when he returned to the White House last year. The war on women's sports is over.

7:49 The

7:50 justice is allowing states to ban transgender

7:53 girls and women from playing on women's teams.

7:56 Citing both fairness and safety, justice Brett Kavanaugh writes states may maintain women's and girls sports for biological females.

8:05 In her partial dissent, justice Sonia Sotomayor insisting it's not been proven that transgender student athletes categorically

8:13 posed dangers to competitive fairness and safety.

8:17 And, David, the supreme court did not outright ban transgender girls from competing in women's sports. That is up to individual states. And right now, 29 states have restrictions on transgender athletes. The other 21 allow trans girls to play on girls' teams. Alright. So they they wrapped those two together. Can't you hear speakers down just a little bit? I'm having a hard time gating that out. Yeah. So they they folded those two into one. Okay.

8:43 Alright. That makes sense. Yeah. That's the way they did it. It was like blame. Mhmm.

8:48 Let's try

8:50 NBC.

8:52 Tonight, the US Supreme Court dealing a major blow to president Trump's immigration crackdown,

8:57 striking down his controversial executive order that sought to ban automatic US citizenship for babies born to undocumented immigrants.

9:06 The president today slamming the court's decision as too bad for our country,

9:11 while immigration advocates celebrated it. The fact is that if you're born here, you're an American citizen, period.

9:18 The president has long railed against birthright citizenship enshrined in the fourteenth amendment to the constitution

9:24 passed after the civil war. This was not meant

9:28 for

9:29 Chinese billionaires

9:31 to have their children become citizens of our country. This was meant or other

9:37 rich people, poor people. This was meant

9:39 for the babies of slaves.

9:42 But today, chief justice John Roberts writing for the majority,

9:45 reaffirming the long settled understanding of the fourteenth amendment,

9:49 guaranteeing citizenship to all children born in The US and subject to its power with limited exceptions,

9:57 writing, quote, the framers of the fourteenth amendment extended that promise to every freeborn person in this land. We keep that promise today.

10:06 In dissent, justice Samuel Alito calling the ruling a serious mistake

10:10 that preserves a powerful incentive to enter or remain in this country illegally.

10:15 The executive order, if allowed,

10:17 could have potentially

10:19 impacted more than 250,000

10:21 babies born in The US every year to non citizens.

10:25 13 year old Mia expressing relief today that families like hers can now stay together. This is our home. We belong here. Yeah. Okay. Boy, this is so shallow.

10:37 It's shallow. It's not yeah. No. They could have mentioned Clarence Thomas. No. They said the same Alito stuff. And then and it they they don't mention this. It's not ex post facto.

10:47 You know, somebody's already born here.

10:49 All of a sudden now they Oh, no. They got they got kicked they got kicked out? No. Of course not. Which is the way they imply there at the end of this at this Yeah. End of the story. They're wrapping it up with dreamers and DACA.

11:01 So And that's what they're doing. How did They never mentioned they don't mention

11:06 it it just so you're right. This is shallow in length. I I have some analysis from our constitutional lawyer in a moment, but let's let's hear what CB Good. Well, we'll hear from him after now we go to the by the way, these have been in order of length.

11:18 Yes. I see. But you can see that the ABC one was stretched.

11:22 The NBC was actually technically the longest,

11:25 for just about the topic. And the shortest one is from CBS.

11:30 Yeah. Here we go. The court said that the framers of the fourteenth amendment extended the promise of citizenship to almost, quote, every free person born in this land, rejecting president Trump's efforts to rewrite the constitution

11:43 with the stroke of a pen. Constitution

11:46 In one of the first executive orders of his second term on inauguration day, president Trump tried to end birthright citizenship. Today,

11:55 after the supreme court rejected his effort in a forcefully worded opinion, he called the ruling too bad for our country and urged congress to take action immediately.

12:05 Trump had argued the fourteenth amendment was intended to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their descendants after the civil war, not to the 250,000

12:15 babies born every year to people here illegally or temporarily.

12:19 But in the decision by chief justice John Roberts,

12:22 joined by Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett and the three liberal justices,

12:27 the court said under the constitution,

12:29 they are citizens at birth.

12:32 Juan Piranhao,

12:33 CEO of LULAC, cheered the ruling.

12:36 I mean, the stakes are four to 500,000

12:39 children born in The United States

12:42 to parents that may be undocumented or at least in the process of getting

12:48 legal status in The United States. All those children were born would not have been US citizens and they would have been stateless.

12:57 So this is really quite disappointing from all three of the big so called news networks. They really they really left a lot of things out here.

13:05 Because really this wasn't about the fourteenth amendment per se. And I'm getting this from Rob, our constitutional lawyer. You know, we have we have more producers than any news program, any news organization anywhere on the planet.

13:18 I defy That's true. Because we don't have listeners. We have zero listeners. We have nothing but producers.

13:24 At issue here was Trump's executive order

13:28 to limit birthright citizenship,

13:30 which is a little different than ruling on the fourteenth amendment itself,

13:34 which according to Rob, and I'll take his word for it,

13:38 SCOTUS actually disagrees

13:40 five to four on the meaning of the fourteenth amendment.

13:44 See that see they don't discuss that. This is only this was only about his executive order.

13:51 And

13:53 Rob goes into the the relevant part of the fourteenth amendment which derives from a British common law doctrine called,

14:01 soleil.

14:02 Iusoli.

14:04 Latin for this is my Latin. Latin for

14:07 law of the soil.

14:09 And under the Iusoli

14:11 doctrine, anyone born within the king's allegiance or protection was deemed a natural born subject of the crown regardless of the parent status.

14:20 The Dred Scott decision,

14:22 this is, you know, I I can't believe no one even brought this up in the news reports,

14:27 temporarily overruled this concept and made Hold

14:30 on. Mhmm. I should mention

14:33 because your complaint is legit except for the fact, if you'd listened to the all the news analysis programs, a number of people brought up the Dred Scott Okay. Decision. Right. But, you know But, yeah, but it wasn't yeah. These straight up reports It's nothing. Are really bad. So the Dred Scott decision temporarily overruled this concept and made hereditary rather than soil the determining factor.

14:55 So justice Clarence Thomas, he wrote a 91 page dissent.

15:00 I don't think Not mentioned in any of the three reports from the networks. And he says that jus soli does

15:07 not just mean geographical

15:08 location,

15:09 this is interpretation,

15:11 but actual allegiance.

15:13 He argues that the majority of wrong wrongly the majority wrongly ignores that the fourteenth amendment requires primary allegiance

15:20 through domicile not through mere temporary or or unlawful presence, which I think means that you can throw out every single democratic

15:28 politician because they have no allegiance to America.

15:31 So we should we should just throw them all out.

15:35 And so yeah. And and actually I'll put this in the show notes

15:38 because I thought it was really interesting that they really didn't focus in on anything. What they they did do cute things

15:45 like

15:46 Ms. Now. I still have a hard time saying Ms. Now instead of MSN. And MSNBC,

15:51 they they want you to just call themselves

15:52 the Podcast Now. They're doing podcast level content with podcast level

15:58 visuals

15:59 and podcast level And podcast level production. Everything is podcast level. We're better. I mean, okay. You don't see my pillow against the wall here, but

16:08 So the cute little gag was

16:11 plan b. They've got a plan b. And the way I took that was, you know what plan b is?

16:16 The medication plan b?

16:20 Yeah. Okay. So it's like, oh, for birthright,

16:23 you know, we got a plan b for Oh, I see. Aborting the birthright. Yeah. It's a it's a subtle pun that they kind of threw in there, and and here's the plan b. But let's talk about the decisions from the Supreme Court that we saw this week and last week. What are you hearing from the White House about the reaction to some of these cases, especially the birthright citizenship

16:42 act? It it seems

16:44 like

16:45 Brett Kavanaugh has given congress a road map to

16:49 now follow through on crafting legislation

16:52 to codify the president's executive order that SCOTUS has said is is not viable. Yeah. What are you hearing from the White more pressure on congress now. It's not just with the Save Act, but also on birthright citizenship.

17:04 So when they come back after this July 4 recess, I think there is going to be yet another to do list for Republicans on Capitol Hill. I think with birthright citizenship, this was something the administration

17:15 was expecting. We even heard president Trump sort of try to lower expectations on this. So this was clearly something that they had in their back pocket ready to go with as a plan b in the likely scenario which happened of the Supreme Court striking it down. Yeah. So that's so now they're gonna take it to Congress and, you know, see what they can do there.

17:37 I like the allegiance part more than anything.

17:41 Makes kinda sense to me.

17:43 But Yeah. Here's the Well, they have these tourism

17:47 there's there's baby tourism.

17:49 They bring the pregnant women over here. This an offensive term, John C. Dvorak.

17:55 Offensive.

17:56 Offensive. And the BBC will explain why. One of president Trump's first acts on returning to office last year was to sign an executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship

18:07 for anyone born to foreign parents in The US.

18:10 He'd argued that undocumented

18:12 migrants were not subject to a right that has been enshrined in the American constitution for more than a hundred and fifty years after the abolition of slavery.

18:22 But judges at the US Supreme Court in a six three decision have delivered a clear message to mister Trump. Birthright citizenship

18:31 can't simply be annulled with the stroke of a presidential pen.

18:35 He responded by saying Interesting. You hear how the BBC actually

18:39 got it right,

18:41 which is astounding?

18:42 Our own our own news guys, news outfits can't get it right. They said it said, this

18:48 was about him annulling the fourteenth amendment with an executive order. That's all that this was. This didn't validate or invalidate the fourteenth amendment. Annulled with the stroke of a presidential pen.

18:59 He responded by saying the court's decision was too bad and that he would use congress to get around it. The house speaker, Mike Johnson, also expressed his disappointment.

19:10 It is a serious problem. We have

19:12 it's become a tourism,

19:14 birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people would just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child, and then they're they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's it's been abused.

19:25 But for those who've settled in The US and gone on to have children, this ruling brings a great sense of relief. The BBC heard from one woman who traveled to The US to claim asylum after fleeing Guatemala

19:37 because of the threat of violence back home.

19:39 Last year, she gave birth to a baby girl. She didn't want to give us her name, and her words are spoken by an interpreter.

19:46 She says the term birth tourism is offensive to There many hardworking

19:52 you go. Offensive. You're just an offensive man.

19:55 You're birthing tourism.

19:56 Sorry.

19:58 Offensive.

19:58 Offensive, I tell you.

20:01 Yeah. Well, did anyone really expect that to to go in his favor? I didn't expect it to go in his favor. No. I don't think so. I don't think anyone did. But we

20:09 got another one for Trump. We got another one.

20:12 And what else? Oh, his

20:15 fair is no good.

20:17 The fair. The fair.

20:19 They keep showing they never show the fair. They just show the giant lawn which isn't, you know, near the fair that has people, you know, which is a monstrous thing. Mhmm. And they say, look, nobody's at the fair.

20:32 Nobody's at the because they're not at the fair to see who's at the fair.

20:36 See People have we got notes from people that went to the fair. They said it's it's

20:41 got here.

20:42 From Please read. This is from Gumbo in DC who works in DC and asked to be kept anonymous.

20:49 How about a real time boots on the ground? I've been on the mall many days and nights since the opening ceremony including this show day. I was listening to today's episode, that was, Sunday,

21:00 on the walk back to my condo.

21:02 My condo. And pause to send this when you gents talked about the fair. It's been packed every single visit, but people are making it look empty with how they take the pictures.

21:11 The mall is huge. There's so much to do that people migrate to the next big event all day. Concerts, performances, movies on huge screens, even a rodeo,

21:20 a real rodeo. We haven't seen what network

21:24 has shown us the rodeo?

21:26 Or what network has shown us the giant screen? Had no idea. I had no idea that there was a rodeo going on. No. Because all they show is they back they take a shot from a mile away of the giant of the giant lawn that's out the on the middle of the whole place and they say, look, there's nobody here. I'm telling you. It's really such a fake.

21:47 I thought I I had a clip about it. Unless they show us the rodeo.

21:51 I thought I had a clip here.

21:53 Let me see.

21:55 The rodeo. Yes. But no, there's nobody there. Okay.

21:58 Here it is. Freedom two fifty. Yes. I think Is this it? Let me see what this is. This Great American State fair, which is happening just down the mall, is being put on by by an ostensibly

22:07 nonpartisan group called what is it called? Freedom two fifty. Right.

22:11 But Trump has sort of taken the the thing over. How did that happen? So there was a congressional bipartisan,

22:17 committee set up to celebrate America's two fiftieth called America two fifty and that's been sort of shunted away and supplanted by freedom to freedom to freedom

22:25 Right. Right. And and this this is your this is the confusion you brought up.

22:30 Brought it up but the the America two fifty didn't go away. No.

22:35 Which is which is a creation of Trump. His he appoints the leaders, the White House leads it. It's funded by taxpayer

22:41 money in a lot of cases, but it's directed by the White House. It's a Trump political operation. I mean, and I was joking about, your polls around talking about nano bubbles, but your focus on on nonprofits and how they were used is what what won you that award in the first place. When you see this organization,

22:55 what are you looking at? What it means so the money that this is taxpayer money that goes into a nonprofit,

23:00 and that that nonprofit then its spending becomes opaque. We don't know if it's giving out no bid contracts. We don't know who is g don't know who's before. G I'm trying

23:09 to find this is so odd. I thought I had an MS Now clip

23:14 where oh, here it is. Yes. This is the one I think. Hi again, everyone. It's 05:00 in the east. Hey, yo. Don't jump This hi, everybody. I drinking.

23:24 Yeah. I

23:26 had a beer, I saw. Oh, wait. Actually,

23:30 is what's your name?

23:32 Here. Let's start let's start it off properly. Here we go. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full the full story because if you look at So this is good. This is Ms. Now

23:40 with the Saki Saki show playing a bit of Fox. So this and Fox is you've probably seen, they've got their white couch, they're outside,

23:49 they're basking in the glory of the fair, which is also kinda sicko. Sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full the full story because if you look behind us, you see, okay, there are couple 100 people back there, but the truth is when you make your way over here and you're in this lot, you're in a wash of people. There are thousands of people here. And I'll tell you what, that's with rain, with everything else going on, the fact that it is heightened security even just because of the world right now. Of course. It's it's really an awesome crowd. It's people that wanna be here. Don't believe your eyes. Don't believe your ears. I put on my glasses to get a closer look. The live show. I'm sorry. It's it's the other woman. The Wallace. The Cole Wallace. Literally behind all those people saying all those things

24:28 tells a totally different story from the things coming out of their mouths. Oh, they're lying. Let's talk about it. Hi again, everyone. It's 05:00 in the East. Donald Trump's long awaited Freedom two fifty Great American State Fair went off with a whimper this weekend with what looked like

24:45 tens, dozens of people showing up for the event, which was plagued with problems, power outages, a shutdown Ferris wheel No. Extreme weather, and the cancellation of a performance by one of the only artists who stood by Donald Trump other than Cash Patel's girlfriend and that was part of Vanilla

25:03 Ice. What kind of slight is that?

25:07 Cash Patel's girlfriend? Is she a singer? I thought she was a Russian spy.

25:11 She's a singer? Well, she could be both. Oh, okay. Other than Cash Patel's girlfriend, and that was part of Vanilla

25:18 Ice.

25:19 Needless to say, the less than stellar review. Vanilla Ice

25:23 is Cash Patel's girlfriend? This is a scandal.

25:27 Air and the viral post about his itty bitty little crowds have gotten under Donald Trump's skin in a big way. Donald Trump posted this response on True Social, quote, do you think people appreciate what a fantastic job we did in building and operating the great American state fair at the National Mall packed with happy people.

25:46 Oh my god. I can't believe I'm reading this, and everybody loving it. Well, you are. The president went on. Ask yourself the simple question. The president of The United States switched to all caps. Quote, do you think that Obama or sleepy Jeff? I didn't could have done it. The answer is

26:01 in Trump's post, no. The answer was like Obama did it last week at the opening of the Obama Center. Oh, please. But I guess in this case, Trump has a point. Obama has never in his life like, if Obama's motorcades

26:15 draw bigger crowds for OTRs, trips that aren't even announced. Oh, my goodness. So I'll I'll continue Wow. Continue with our boots on the ground. So even a real rodeo and the Ferris wheel line is very long

26:27 at peak times for the best views of the city.

26:29 If they allowed drone drone footage, you would see the oh, that's a good point. You would see the entire mall but these grifters and click baiters know that and just want to orange man bad this thing. Also the weird religious tent that people keep bitching and posting about, that thing has been on the mall for many months. I don't think the park folks can kick them off because they got a permit. Has nothing to do with the two fiftieth fair. Says Gumbo in DC, our boots on the ground. So there you go.

26:56 It's but it but all of the news, it's it's all so cynical and so

27:02 No. It's it's I don't even call it cynical.

27:05 It's misleading.

27:06 Well, the well, yeah. I mean, but that's not a surprise.

27:10 I mean, that's not the surprising thing. It's just come on.

27:14 Like continuously.

27:16 And

27:17 then we have the

27:19 ongoing fight with the housing. What what you know, let's let's skip that for now. I'm not in it. I don't wanna talk about nothing but bills. It's all kinds of bills going on. Bills this, bills that.

27:32 Let's talk about

27:34 let's see.

27:36 Well, I got a number of things that we can talk about. Yeah.

27:39 But but you have to it it will be changing the subject.

27:43 Yeah. We don't I mean, well, what is the subject? The $2.50? Do you have anything on the 02:50? No. I I think we can talk about 02:50

27:51 on the Sunday show. We're working over the July 4 weekend. Dude, I literally Even though people don't seem to appreciate that. I literally flew through the night, set up the studio, and I'm working here and it's

28:02 it's

28:03 Yeah. You know, most podcasters would have taken the day off. Yes. And and relaxed after an international

28:09 trip.

28:10 I flew through the air, landed and then set up the studio

28:14 and and my wife is in her bathrobe here on the bed. Hello. Hello, wife. She's doing when are you gonna be done? She has her head oh, she's very annoyed by it. Yeah. We don't we don't well, how come we don't have a suite where you can be in a different room? Well, because I'm a podcaster. You should have married a a politician.

28:31 So there you go.

28:34 Let's talk about the well, let's change something and talk about the daredevils

28:38 in the dare the the empires this I got two clips. This was good. I I got the the first one's from NTD, which I think is a good rundown, is Empire State Daredevils.

28:50 Okay.

28:51 Two daredevils were arrested today after climbing the antenna of New York City's Empire State Building. The duo flew a banner from the top which read, quote, when the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.

29:05 The NYPD has released video footage of officers interacting

29:09 with the couple. An officer could be heard telling the couple that they weren't allowed to be where they were, and then the couple could be heard saying that they speak Russian. New York City police commissioner Jessica Tisch praised the emergency service unit for their response.

29:23 The duo were daredevil artists,

29:25 Angela Nikolau and Vanya Birkes.

29:28 They documented their time in the sky in on social media. It's not yet clear though how they got up to the antenna spire some 1,400

29:37 feet above the ground. Didn't they climb up the side of the building like most of these Spider Man people?

29:43 They never say that this I think they got in the elevator, went up to as high as they could and then climbed. Whatever this that's first not explained. As you all we know is they we have some phony footage of them up there. I identified

29:56 one thing that was on Fox that were the helicopters going around them, but they weren't moving. Is this now is this signage?

30:04 Is this

30:05 They got okay. Where did leave? They got that they got that from a podcast.

30:10 Oh,

30:12 from a podcast. You got it from a podcast. Hold on. How come our p our producers aren't climbing up buildings and promoting the show?

30:19 Well, they weren't they did promote the show because here the the second clip is Daredevils.

30:24 Here they are in jail,

30:26 and what it turned out that the whole thing was to get it that was to get engaged,

30:30 and they did. And they had a big kiss at the at the top of the Empire State Building.

30:35 And this is the two of them in jail

30:38 doing an Instagram post, and and the thing looks rigged. It's like TMZ and CBS and all these networks were involved somehow. Hello from jail.

30:48 We are in jail.

30:50 They couldn't be here.

30:53 It was Wait a minute. They're in jail and they let they give them their phones in jail?

30:58 I'm just saying.

31:00 Lifelong dream to get engaged on top of skyscraper.

31:04 Bye bye. We want to thank ABC

31:07 TMZ.

31:08 CBS,

31:09 Fox

31:10 News. ESPN and T9. Yahoo.

31:13 Everyone who shared our love. NC signs. Yes. When the power of love beats the love of power, power,

31:22 the world knows peace.

31:24 We found that one in Mel Robbins podcast.

31:27 Yes, ma'am. You can find us on Zenox,

31:30 and we are registered

31:32 at Bed Bath and Beyond. I love that.

31:38 No touching.

31:40 So

31:45 according to Nick the rat who came out of he came out of the sewer into the troll room.

31:51 This is a Netflix promotion for the documentary

31:54 Skywalker's

31:56 A Love Story

31:58 that follows daredevil

31:59 couple Angela,

32:01 Nikolay

32:02 Nikolau and Ivan

32:04 Birchess.

32:05 That's them.

32:06 Yes, them. So it's a promotion. There's a movie promotion as usual.

32:10 Everything's a movie promotion and then they they get a plug in for being on The Knot so they're gonna get a bunch of free wedding Free stuff. Yeah. Oh, man.

32:21 That is

32:22 you know, I bet you Steven Spielberg is just stewing right now. Say, how come I couldn't get this kind of attention for for disclosure day and these idiots take it all?

32:35 Not only that, but they were everywhere. They were on baby. Merca. Merca. On Twitter and this and they're on Instagram and Facebook and the news, CBS, NBC, the Fox and she says Yahoo.

32:48 Yahoo.

32:49 Yahoo.

32:52 Well, that's that's pretty good. You know, I've been up there.

32:56 If you look right at that tower, if you look at the tower,

32:59 the base of the tower is a little round room.

33:03 That's where they they did the proposal.

33:05 They were in that room, the little the small tiny rug because that know what's in there? Oh, no. No. They were up above No. Okay. So right under There's an open platform.

33:14 Yes. Oh, I mean, I don't know how know, there's something about the mentality of people that are that can do this kind of thing where you can be 1,400 feet in the air on the top of a building on a windy day on an open platform and look over and go, hey, look how far up we are.

33:29 So I don't know how you do that. I've been up there one time with Steve Pepe,

33:35 who was the engineer at z one hundred

33:37 and the way it worked, this is back in the late eighties.

33:42 It was a different radio stations,

33:44 transmitter engineers responsibility.

33:47 They they change I think every three months

33:50 and it would be that guy's turn to go up to the top of the Empire State Building and to check the health of everybody's transmitter.

33:57 And it's this little room. It's like it's like the size of a hotel room. It's round obviously

34:03 and there's just nothing but transmitters up there and and, you know, I I think you can get impotent if you stay up there too long. And then I think that that's what I wonder about climbing that antenna.

34:12 That's probably not a great idea. I mean, well, that's the tower No. It's the there's RF.

34:16 It's the tower, it's not the antenna, but still. But yeah. And and there's a special elevator that takes you all the way to the top and then you walk up the, you know, little

34:25 twisty turny stair, like a spiral staircase.

34:29 Then you're in that room and the platform is right above it. So maybe they didn't even did they even do we know if they didn't climb up the side of the Empire State Building? They where they took the elevator

34:37 up to the tiny Yeah. That's what they did. I'm sure that's what they did. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

34:42 Well, it's a good promotion.

34:44 It's pretty good. It was a dynamite promotion. I have to say that's pretty good. And she's cute and she's

34:49 Oh, no. Showing off her ring. The whole thing is fake. Yeah. Fake and gay. I

34:57 need to talk about AI because there are a couple of stories that came out that I think will affect

35:02 the

35:03 what what would you call that? The AI trade.

35:06 The AI trade.

35:07 I think Yes. Well, I have one good. Because I have one clip. When you're done, I wanna play this clip because it's the clip bothers me. Would you like to start off with that? I'd prefer if you would you like? It's more about it's not it's not about AI so much about Okay. The server farm. So I wanna hear the AI. Well,

35:23 there's two things. So a couple things happened.

35:25 The first one is Ford made a rather startling announcement

35:29 saying, you know,

35:31 we we replaced a whole bunch of people with with AI and AI cameras and AI sensors to make sure the nuts and bolts were tightened just perfectly.

35:42 And, yeah, we're hiring people back because our cars our our trucks are sucking with this AI stuff.

35:48 And so this was a pretty big financial story. This is from Bloomberg. So what was it

35:53 your team? Was it an employee, a labor issue?

35:56 Was it,

35:57 you know, technology?

35:59 Did you use AI?

36:01 Was it factory processes?

36:03 Like, you get into specifics of how you did it? This guy these Bloomberg people are doing podcasts too. This is not this is not journalism anymore. Yeah.

36:11 If you if you were to visit today the Rouge plant where we make the f one fifty, Matt, what you would see is a whole control center around data and quality,

36:22 data. So we measure the torque of every one of our fasteners.

36:25 We have AI tools for vision systems.

36:28 But but most of all, it's just old fashioned hard work

36:33 of our team members

36:34 all working together to pay attention to the very small details

36:39 that will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford

36:42 and an okay built Toyota.

36:45 It's just an an incredible

36:47 attention

36:48 to every Wait. Hold on. Stop.

36:52 Is he equating

36:53 what there's an equivalency thing he did there, but I think it may have been subconscious.

36:59 He equates

37:00 a perfectly built Ford with a mediocrely built Toyota.

37:05 Yeah. Are they the same? I I think I think what he meant to say was it's the difference between our trucks which are great and a crappy Toyota which is put to get slapped together with robots.

37:16 That's what he meant to say, but let's hear it let's

37:20 hear it again. That will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford

37:24 and an okay built Yeah. A difference. Give him give him a break. He says it's a difference. Details

37:29 that will make a difference between a perfectly built Ford

37:32 and an okay built Toyota.

37:34 It's just an

37:36 incredible

37:37 attention

37:38 to every single

37:40 detail. So, you know, they had a 700,000

37:43 unit recall on trucks. So I don't know if that's something to do with it, but the way the CEO Farley here is spinning it is, this is America man. We use American workers. So, I mean, it's interesting now that we're in the age of AI and we're talking about this technology

37:59 killing jobs, but it seems like in your case, it's really experienced

38:03 human workers that made the big difference.

38:07 It did. I I have to say, yeah, the process coaches, the area coaches,

38:11 you know, they get up every morning. They look at the last shift's quality data. We look at how many vehicles are repaired,

38:18 and we work that process

38:20 every moment of every day.

38:22 Every employee walks into any one of our plants. They know exactly are we winning or are we losing yesterday and today.

38:29 Everyone is fully aware of where we stand. We know exactly where Toyota is. We knew exactly how to you know, where we needed to get to to beat,

38:39 Tundra and and Super Duty better than any of the other domestic competitors.

38:44 And so everyone is aware

38:46 exactly the quality is coming out of our plant in any particular shift every fifty seconds.

38:53 And and that is

38:54 that human motivation to pay attention to everyone everything

38:58 is amazing. Look. We make 85%

39:01 of our vehicles in The US,

39:03 Matt. That means these are US factory workers

39:06 versus even our domestic competitors.

39:09 They're some of the biggest in We're the

39:12 not building these vehicles in South Korea or Japan. These are American workers

39:16 beating Toyota and Hyundai

39:19 and our domestics who import their vehicles.

39:21 We beat them all. Yeah, baby. We beat them. We're American workers. But

39:27 the story that I really that and I saw this we were waiting at the airport in Austin and they had the screen and so Before

39:35 you go on Yeah. What did he say in that clip that was anything?

39:40 Well, that's why I said it's a cover up. They they switched back from a whole bunch of AI engineering

39:46 tasks,

39:47 which I think is assembly line tasks that they had decided to use AI for

39:51 and they said, no no, now we have because it was a big story. They rehired hundreds of

39:57 of Ford engineers,

39:59 assembly line people,

40:01 because they the the robots were doing a crap job. They weren't tightening the bolts, you know, stuff was falling apart, rattling out out of off the assembly line. So he spins it as we, you know, when the next people come on the line, they check with the people before them did because we love our country, we we love our truck. That's where's your where's your jingle, man? This is a perfect time. Actually,

40:23 funny thing funny you'd ask about that Perfect timing as for it. I act. As as you as you delay it, so I can as you saw it.

40:31 It and then it I love my truck and I love what I do. Exactly.

40:36 So but that that's a chink in the armor

40:39 of of the AI the AI craze.

40:43 But what happened on CNBC,

40:45 and this was like a twenty minute segment,

40:47 Alex Karp did I don't know if you saw this. He's the CEO of Palantir.

40:52 The company that somehow people believe

40:56 has I saw parts of this. He was he went nuts. Oh, it was great. He even said, boy, I'm going nuts.

41:02 Yeah. He said that. He's I saw that part.

41:06 You know, people and we've had people who work at Palantir email us. You know, with boots on the ground. It's like, you know, they're not even really an AI company.

41:14 You know, they're they sit on top of Oracle databases and all kinds of other stuff and they have some proprietary and they've been doing this for a long time. But somehow people believe that when you take Palantir and you put your flock cameras in there and all the data centers, they're gonna control every single move and we're all gonna die and and Palantir,

41:32 which of course has got Jews in there, they're gonna they're gonna control us all.

41:36 I read the documents as how it's all gonna go down.

41:40 But that's not true at all.

41:42 In fact,

41:45 they,

41:46 you know, their applications

41:48 sit on top of, if anything, AI, you know, they sit on top of the large language models.

41:54 And he

41:55 I think partially because their stock price has gone down because they don't have a sexy AI story. I think that's why he's mad even though they're all billionaires. They've made so much money. Oh, yeah. Heaven forbid. Yeah. But Yeah. But what he said here

42:07 was absolutely

42:09 spot on. So the

42:10 the general way these things were sold in these people are I I

42:14 Sam and and and Dario. There's

42:17 nothing more fun than debating Dario in private. So this is I'm not throwing shade at them. I'm not throwing shade at them. Okay. But something has gone completely wrong, and the basic view among enterprises in this country is I'm chill

42:32 Wait.

42:33 Who's Dario?

42:34 The CEO of Anthropic.

42:37 So Oh, okay. Right. He's complaining about OpenAI and Anthropic. And the basic view among enterprises in this country is

42:45 I'm gonna chillax,

42:47 and waste my time with tokens. I'm gonna get no value, and they're gonna get my IP. Now that that sounds like shade. Okay. And not just shade. It sounds like if you're saying these No. No. No. Sorry. This is reporting. Okay. Hold on. Can you stop it again? Yeah. Sure.

43:14 And this is an interview with what's his name of the New York Times or no with the it's NBC. Used to be New York Times. Kid.

43:20 Sorkin.

43:21 Yeah.

43:22 Is it Sorkin? Yeah. Yeah. It's the Sorkin kid. Andrew Andrew Sorkin.

43:27 Andrew Ross Sorkin. Oh, I'm sorry. A r s. Andrew Ross Sorkin. Yes.

43:32 Karp says, well, I'm gonna tell you something. The New York Times, if they got a hold of that, I would never say this ever in a million years, but I'm gonna say it because and then I know the New York Times, I hope they're not listening. I hope the Washington Post is not listening, but I'm gonna tell you something.

43:45 Sorkin interrupts him and asks another question. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Sorkin wants none of them. What is wrong with this guy? Sorkin?

43:53 Yeah. Oh, it's his job to keep this going.

43:56 It's not it's not their job to report on. There's only one I think the old dude, Joe, what's his name?

44:03 Joe

44:04 Kieran. Kieran. Kieran. I think he's yeah. Kieran. I think he's pretty Yeah. He's he's a he's a He's a pretty good dude. Fly in the ointment. Yeah. He's the of CNBC and he sits there, but, know, he's not quite as as as

44:18 Well, he doesn't get all abrasive.

44:21 But he, you know, he and all the rest is like, market's

44:25 going down, buy the dip. Market's going up, you don't wanna miss out. I mean, that's all they do.

44:30 So This known CNBC is known as Yeah. Perpetual bulls. And and that's okay. But what he's saying here, and I I got five very short clips because the whole thing was twenty minutes. So I think these are the key points. So here he is saying, hey, this this thing is bull crap. That's that's basically what he's saying. With tokens, I'm gonna get no value, and they're gonna get my IP. Now that that sounds like shade. Okay. And it not just shade. It sounds like if you're saying these No. No. No. No. Is reporting.

44:57 Okay. And I I this is reporting I'm doing your job, Sorkin. That I've I've literally against my own interest called

45:05 these are like I'm profiting from this. Right? Okay.

45:09 So he's saying he's doing reporting here. It's good for his business. So it's interesting that he is is open about that. But but he I'll just I'll give you a preview. What he's saying is

45:21 that corporate America

45:24 got the bill for tokens

45:26 and went, okay,

45:28 this is this is not paying off. This is not replacing people. It's costing more than the people

45:34 that I want to replace this with and it's not actually Hence the forward clips you played previously. Yes.

45:38 Yes. And it's not really doing the job we were promised.

45:42 But in addition,

45:43 what's happening with my data?

45:45 If I'm using

45:47 OpenAI or Anthropix

45:49 models,

45:50 are you just sucking up my data and using that? Well, answer is yes, of course.

45:56 And so he's gonna talk about weights and alpha.

45:59 These are all proprietary things that you can you can adjust a large language model with. Then you have my enterprises in the private sector who have the same issues like, why would they get access to my data if they're going to build my alpha? Why wouldn't I control the weights? Why would and that's where you get this partnership.

46:17 What what aligns me with NVIDIA,

46:21 and I think is what the cost technical customers want, which is control

46:26 over their compute,

46:28 their models,

46:29 their data stack, and their alpha. They wanna know they own the means of production. It's not being transferred to someone else. They're not interested in some fake deploy code that somehow is deploying tokens that transfers the alpha to a third party, and the jig is up. Okay. So this is a sounds a little complicated,

46:47 but you have to understand that

46:49 Palantir just did a direct deal with NVIDIA

46:53 and they're going to run open

46:56 large language models that their customers control and own and whatever comes out of it will be their intellectual property and not OpenAI or Anthropics.

47:06 This is a complete

47:09 destruction of the model that, you know, is supposed to make these companies, trillion dollar companies and their IPOs, which as far as I can tell are being delayed.

47:17 Here's a very simple version of it that CARP gives us. So we our our products are agnostic. We we we now sell a product to customers that allows you to switch from model to model because and we're completely agnostic,

47:29 but we need to rebuild trust, and that trust is going to happen where everyone gets to ask ask and answer basic questions. Who owns the data? Where is it cached? Are the prompts secure?

47:41 Is this being transferred to you? Are you being comp okay. If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you a billion dollars Right. Tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, I'll make you a billion dollars and I want 30%?

47:52 Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable? Yes.

47:55 We I think we even said this a while back.

47:58 If you can create any

48:00 business, if you can recreate it, why wouldn't you just go into that business?

48:04 Why are you why are you selling things at a loss that that clearly this

48:09 tokens is not making you enough money?

48:11 And he's saying, you know, if this was really so good,

48:14 why wouldn't I just take 30% of the profits that I make?

48:18 Well, because it sucks.

48:19 Because it's not. Yeah. It's it's no good. But I'm telling you, in this country,

48:24 at every single enterprise I deal with,

48:27 they these people are livid. They're like, I am paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business, and they're creating a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes

48:39 starts with the billionaires. Every single person at this table is going to be paying a wealth tax only to punish us. And the reason for it is because these models have been completely over, irresponsibly

48:50 overselled,

48:51 and the sell is it's dangerous for everyone, which is why I can give it to all your adversaries, but I can't give it to the Department of War, or I can't safely give it to an enterprise in this country without

49:01 being certain that the alphabet business could transfer to this model tomorrow, I e, I have no business, no job. You sound pretty angry. No. The is the voice of

49:11 American business that is being channeled through me. He's

49:16 right. Yes. I think he's spot on.

49:19 And and so, of course, now we have the bubble question. I want you everybody watching this to test what I'm saying, especially investors who think somehow this is working.

49:28 Pick up the phone and call a CEO in private.

49:32 Not in public, every single person here can do this. Call 2 or 3 and say, madman carp is on TV saying we're livid.

49:39 I'm not going to quote you. You know I won't quote you. You have an history. And see, they're twice as livid as me. Like So if you're right though,

49:47 does that mean that we are living in some kind of terrible AI bubble and that we're going Yes. To in in a quarter or two or three quarters from now, we're going to hear No. Big

49:56 enterprises are No. Cancelling their subscriptions to these products or that they build out is going to slow. But he is just buffaloing through him like, oh, you've said that this is what's going to happen. This is but you're just crazy, man. No. Because This

50:09 the tragedy of it. The reality of

50:12 compute

50:13 plus ontology

50:15 plus model

50:16 change the is changing the course of history.

50:19 Ask

50:20 the Ukrainians,

50:21 ask the Israelis, ask our department of war, ask the enterprise that are working. We do not have to oversell what we have. We have And it's all being built in this country.

50:31 Basically, except for the open models, is a real thing coming from China, except for NVIDIA models, are world class,

50:37 basically.

50:38 Yeah. It's all being built here. We do not have to overhype. We do not have over hype it to the point where we're gonna have wealth tax punishing If they're charging the enterprise three times as much as they should be Yeah. And then and then they have to pull back on that. That changes the math of all Yes. Of

50:54 It does, Sorkin Child. Yes. Exactly.

50:58 This and and

50:59 as nutty as carp is, he's right.

51:02 This this stupid marketing gamut of, it's just too dangerous.

51:06 We just can't give it to you. I'm sorry. No. No. We have to. The Department of War says, it's Trump's Yeah. That's been deconstructed

51:14 by more than a few people. Yeah. Bullcrap. Total bullcrap.

51:18 And then, I don't know if you saw neither

51:20 of us are on the mic. I'm not at Microsoft at all anymore, but you're wisely,

51:26 you're still on Vista.

51:28 And

51:29 are you on Vista or 10? What are you on?

51:33 Oh, you're talking about my operating system? Yeah. Yeah. You're on you're on Windows, but you're on a special one that doesn't upgrade.

51:39 I'm on a special old version of 10. Yeah. Oh, 10.

51:43 10. Okay. That that doesn't upgrade.

51:45 Right.

51:46 It doesn't upgrade. Well, did you hear what happened on on patch Tuesday?

51:51 No. But I can just imagine. So patch Tuesday

51:55 Tuesday's always been

51:57 at issue. Right. But this was the biggest patch Tuesday in Microsoft's

52:02 patch Tuesday history

52:05 and

52:06 over 200

52:07 bugs appeared including

52:11 BitLocker keys being required.

52:14 Now if if no one's ever seen this

52:17 where

52:18 something happens with your with your Windows

52:21 and then you get a blue screen and it says,

52:24 yeah, this is a dangerous version. This could be fake.

52:27 So you have to enter

52:29 your 3,000

52:31 digit BitLocker key,

52:33 which you then have to get from the Microsoft website.

52:36 Have you ever been through this this loop?

52:39 Oh, Lord.

52:41 The BitLocker loop is and so just imagine you're an IT guy and you have, I don't know, 400 desktops.

52:49 Try 10,000.

52:50 Yeah. You have to go and and find a BitLocker key for every single one. The trash,

52:56 if you wanna empty the this is across the board now Windows. If you wanna enter empty the trash,

53:02 the dialog pops up. Are you sure you want to delete J6529322278

53:08 hash dollar sign pound sign?

53:11 So it doesn't give you the file names anymore of what you think you're gonna delete.

53:16 And

53:16 at the same time, you've got Satya Nadella

53:19 saying,

53:21 why, you know, 30% of our code is coded by AI.

53:25 Yeah. No kidding.

53:27 This this is what's going on with this stuff.

53:31 It's no good.

53:33 And so then CNBC follows up with the stories which are obvious that people are like, you know, this stuff is not not working for me in my business on the balance sheet. But I I think it makes sense. The market is trying to understand sort of the new narrative around the Mag seven because they went from asset light companies

53:51 that produced a lot of free cash flow now to ones that are more balance sheet intensive,

53:56 actually funding what what what will look like a larger balance sheet.

54:00 I do think investors are gonna start to view that balance sheet as a workforce. Right? I mean, the reason they're spending so much money is to replace as essentially, you know, human endeavors with AI.

54:13 That

54:14 balance sheet is gonna deploy be deployed and generate returns. So I think over time investors are gonna start to view that as as a moat, but you're right. We're in a transition period of that narrative. Yeah. Of the narrative, but not of reality. Tom, I I guess maybe the big arching question, overarching question right now is whether or not this dip

54:32 is the sign or beginning of something deeper or whether or not investors should be comfortable just buying. Alright. So this is CNBC.

54:40 So all of these big AI trades,

54:42 stocks, the chips, Nvidia, everything is down eight, nine, 10.

54:47 So what is the answer from CNBC?

54:49 Well, we know what the answer is.

54:51 Dom, we published a note yesterday

54:54 looking at the 17 times that the semi index,

54:58 SMH,

54:59 had fallen 6% more in a single day.

55:03 It's it'll may or may not surprise viewers, but these almost always occur in the middle of a bull market that these sharp one day drops are not a sign of a top, but are actually rather rather viable entry points. One month later,

55:18 88%

55:18 of the time, the the semi index is higher

55:21 with a 12 median gain, meaning your 6% drop is more than recovered within a month. Buy the dip. I actually think this is a buy the pullback market. There it is. Buy the dip, everybody. Buy the pullback. Buy the pullback.

55:35 Alright. Buy the crash. I'm not

55:38 Buy the crash. We

55:40 should have stickers.

55:42 Buy the crash. That good show title.

55:44 Yes.

55:45 That is a good show title.

55:47 Buy the crash. So this thing I I mean, we knew it was gonna unwind, but it may come sooner than we thought actually.

55:56 Well, this is just a a foreboding.

56:00 Yeah. It's it could nobody knows. I mean, that's the thing about it. These things are always kind of surprise.

56:07 Well, in hindsight, like two years later, well, you could see it coming. No, you couldn't. Nobody could.

56:14 Well, but but I'm an active user of this stuff. There was a great the you're the one of the two of us. Yes. I mean, I use your

56:23 perplexity

56:23 and I and I draw know, I use some of the art tools. I've used Sonos. Yeah. Search stuff. Search stuff. SUNO, not Sonos. SUNO. SUNO. SUNO. SUNO. SUMO. No.

56:36 I'm an active user of clogged code and

56:39 and I haven't Yeah. And all you do is complain. People don't realize that after the show,

56:44 when we do our our postmortem

56:47 and figure out what RTUs and all the rest, you always have some horrific

56:52 story about how the thing screwed up. Yeah. And you're talking to yourself constantly now

56:58 Yes.

57:00 About it, you know. I don't know how she was gonna do on this. Oh,

57:04 yay. Yay. He good, dear. It made it. It made it. It made it through. And your moaning 80%. It's you it's become kind of a psychopath. There's this great video. I think I I post or re re posted it on X and it shows you a guy working with AI, know, a coding

57:21 guy. And he says, okay, cut the sandwich in half and and then the other guy, which is him,

57:27 has a Subway sandwich.

57:29 And so the AI guy starts to cut it lengthwise. No. No. No. Stop. I said the other way.

57:35 And then so it tries to cut it on the, know, it flips it on its side and wants to cut it lengthwise but right into the into the meat of the sandwich. No. No. The other way. Turns it upside down. I mean, it goes on and on and on and on because that's exactly what it's like. It is so so close to reality of what this AI stuff. Not all the time. When it works, it's great. But man, I don't want it flying my plane.

57:59 I don't want it operating my oil business.

58:02 No. It's it's and it's just been oversold.

58:05 I mean, there's great stuff. There's great stuff to do with it. But I I wouldn't trust it with my taxes. I mean, as long as you don't get an audit, it might be great.

58:14 Dude, you did great this year on your taxes.

58:17 Or not. Or

58:19 not.

58:20 Yeah.

58:21 So what was your clip that you wanted to play? I had two clips now. Mhmm. Let's start with this since you talked about, you know, the danger. Let's play the Tesla kills a woman.

58:30 Didn't we already play this one?

58:33 I just got it. Oh. Tonight a woman was killed, two people injured when a Tesla crashed into an outdoor seating area at a restaurant in Simi Valley, California. The Tesla stopped amid a tangle of debris and umbrellas. Police say a 79 year old woman walking on the sidewalk was killed. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

58:50 Yeah. Jeez. There's just so many of these stories. Didn't you just do this story?

58:55 Yeah. Okay. Now the other one is But but but I'll just say this. That's not really AI.

59:01 I mean, this is machine learning that's been done and, know, this Yeah. Yeah. Your points are well taken. It's not really an AI story.

59:09 No. That and neither one of these stories is really an AI story. Oh, okay. But this other one which I I I because I I was I didn't even think about this until this woman, this paranoid chick,

59:21 big mouth girl with a, you know, not unattractive,

59:26 toothy,

59:27 goes on and on with this with this paranoid

59:30 delusion. But then I I started looking at the numbers, I was thinking,

59:35 she's right about about the basics here. Do you realize that operation in Utah, they're trying to build a big data center? Yes. That Kevin O'Leary is Yes. Like somehow behind? No. No. Yeah. This has been going on for a while and there's some left wing group that he says is funded by China. They're the ones behind the protests and oh, yeah. Yeah. That's when he's Now, Kevin O'Leary is cited in Covert Action Magazine

1:00:00 as a spook,

1:00:02 Not

1:00:04 as an asset.

1:00:06 Oh, a spook for some other outfit?

1:00:09 No, for the outfit. Oh, the outfit. Okay.

1:00:13 Maybe,

1:00:14 maybe. Well, I don't know one way or the other and I, you know, you could probably, you no one's gonna tell you because you can't do that legally if he is, but they kind of imply it. In the mag and, you know, covert action's been around since '78 and, you know, it's just sketchy,

1:00:30 but

1:00:31 leery sketchy. Mhmm. So so so so then this woman chimes in with this. This is the data center paranoia

1:00:40 clip. Just have to come on here and say this real quick about the data centers. If you think that the government and big tech are building these billion dollar facilities

1:00:50 in the middle of nowhere

1:00:52 to store your family photos or help you in any capacity, you're retarded.

1:00:57 Okay?

1:00:59 You're This is the whole this is it. Does she mention Palantir in this clip? She better because that that's what I'm hearing. I was just playing. Retarded.

1:01:07 They're calling them data centers because calling them mass surveillance centers would

1:01:12 probably send people into a spiral.

1:01:15 They're literally building the infrastructure

1:01:18 for a surveillance state, and they're doing it right in front of your face.

1:01:22 It's going to be fully capable of monitoring your speech, your behavior,

1:01:27 your purchases.

1:01:28 It's going to essentially harvest

1:01:30 your biometrics

1:01:32 and create an entire

1:01:34 digital profile for you. People are trying to say that something like this would never happen. There's a 92%

1:01:40 chance on polymarket

1:01:42 that something like this is prohibited.

1:01:44 Utah just got approved for a massive

1:01:47 data center blueprint.

1:01:49 This data center in Utah is going to be 63 square miles.

1:01:54 Do you guys know

1:01:55 how massive

1:01:56 that is? I'm talking almost three times the size of Manhattan

1:02:00 and

1:02:02 200 times the size of the NSA's data center that already exists in Utah.

1:02:08 Why does Utah need a 63 square mile data center?

1:02:12 And, by the way, it's gonna be using up double the electricity

1:02:16 that Utah uses currently.

1:02:19 And,

1:02:20 honestly, why does the country need anything like that for that matter? So I'm asking you to just ask yourself

1:02:28 if this is really for

1:02:30 the betterment of society and storing family photos and for you

1:02:35 or is it for mass surveillance?

1:02:36 Yeah. This is a

1:02:39 known meme going around across the Okay. Well, let so I I just had to look into the numbers here. Mhmm. Now she's running about three times. We're talking twice this you've been to Manhattan?

1:02:50 Yep. Can you imagine the entire Manhattan Island a data center?

1:02:56 Because I looked into it. Manhattan Island is 23 thou, depends. You can get different numbers, but the maximum number you get for acreage is 23,000

1:03:05 acres. That's Manhattan Island. The proposal for the Utah data center is 40,000

1:03:13 acres. Yeah. Great. That's roughly twice the size of Manhattan.

1:03:18 You can't what do you how can you build put put that many computers

1:03:22 in the in the entire city of Manhattan,

1:03:25 let alone two Manhattans?

1:03:28 How

1:03:29 do you how do you even wire that? I mean, if I was anybody, I'd be buying copper futures. I mean, there's just it doesn't make any sense in terms of the the magnitude.

1:03:41 Well, okay. So a couple things. One, let's just talk about what she's saying and then we'll get to the magnitude of it.

1:03:47 She's saying these data centers yeah, there's data centers all over the world that are being built in Canada, The UK, Mexico, the the

1:03:57 Saudi Arabia.

1:03:59 And this is this is what the hyperscale, this is the AI race as to who's gonna be done first with the data center that's gonna have all the NVIDIA chips in there that is going to run the compute.

1:04:10 The compute for all of the stuff that we're gonna need for the stuff that clearly doesn't work well enough.

1:04:16 And

1:04:18 somehow in the

1:04:20 corpus

1:04:20 of the lexicon of the citizen,

1:04:24 this has turned into, and this is why I'm surprised you didn't mention Palantir,

1:04:28 this this is the surveillance state

1:04:30 which

1:04:32 Darling, the surveillance state is the phone in your pocket.

1:04:35 It's already here.

1:04:37 The data centers, it's not gonna surveil you.

1:04:41 It's a data center.

1:04:43 You know, somehow they think that a big data center means more surveillance. No.

1:04:48 The phone in your pocket is doing all of that for you and it's going to data brokers

1:04:53 sold by

1:04:54 Google,

1:04:57 Facebook,

1:04:58 Meta and you're actively involved in it. So that's that's what people are saying. And then the flock cameras, oh, the flock cameras. Oh, they got everything. Oh, by the way, it's it is funny she was doing that of course on her phone.

1:05:09 Oh, yeah. Of course. Of course.

1:05:12 Yeah. No. I I already can see the showroom. Oh, yeah. Adam's gonna say it's not for No. Data centers do not surveil you. The systems surveil you and you have that in your pocket, in fact. You're typing on it right now, you idiots.

1:05:24 You're typing on it and if you're on Windows,

1:05:27 you're on a surveillance system.

1:05:29 So you don't need a 63 square mile data center for that. I think O'Leary

1:05:34 got over his skis on this one. This is my theory on that. Got over his skis, he's like holy crap. This thing because he's not dumb.

1:05:41 This thing's gonna come apart at the seams.

1:05:44 I have committed to too much compute,

1:05:47 too much acreage.

1:05:48 And so he's already like, oh, okay. We're gonna scale this back. We're gonna make smaller because these people are making my life difficult. I think he's the first one to see that this is not what he thought it was going to be. This whole thing was a real estate play to begin with.

1:06:03 That's why Musk is saying, no no, we got our data centers in space

1:06:07 because I

1:06:08 can't wait for those. On the moon. And every everyone's all into it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait until Elon's

1:06:14 data centers in space. Okay. Because these are gonna be circling around and using moon

1:06:19 to the South Pole where it's nice and cold. Yeah. All kinds of places. We're gonna say that would be a good place to have this. But you're not allowed to go to the South Pole because that's where they have the saucers.

1:06:29 So,

1:06:30 you know, there's there's a couple of things that are that are flowing here and then you have the elect the electricity part and municipalities are seeing this and they're getting mad. You've got the farming part where the farmers like, hey, you're taking away farmland that'll never come back. The whole thing is a bad idea. Well, in Utah, that's. Yeah. And and so the smart There's no farmland. Smart money and I'll just say Nvidia,

1:06:52 the only company really making money off of this,

1:06:55 they're saying, yeah, you know what? Just run it on your computer at home. That's the way to go. And that But they're selling little computers. Yeah. Yeah. They've got the DGX Spark and they've got these clones by MSI and they're you know, the cheapest one is $3,000

1:07:11 now but that'll come down. Well, this is all fine and dandy what you're saying. Mhmm. And it's and you're right. And I'm not arguing about the local is where it is all headed.

1:07:20 But what is the point of even

1:07:23 even specking out a data center the size of Manhattan Island?

1:07:28 He's not called mister wonderful for nothing.

1:07:32 That doesn't answer the question. Yes. Because the money was there, the money was flowing. But what would be the point of it? To to to take 10% of the money before it all goes bankrupt.

1:07:44 The whole thing is a giant scam.

1:07:48 That's the point of it. There's no there's no need for this.

1:07:52 There's no need for it.

1:07:54 And I'm telling you Well, how do you even get to the point of signing off

1:08:00 on a data center Dude, people the bought size of Manhattan Island.

1:08:04 John, people Who signs off on this? How do you scam that money? Have you not watched CNBC?

1:08:11 That we literally just had an IPO that made Elon Musk a trillionaire a trillionaire on the promise he's going to put data centers in space.

1:08:20 That's even crazier than a data center the size of Manhattan.

1:08:25 This is let's talk about reality. This is crazy.

1:08:29 It's absolutely nuts.

1:08:32 Canada.

1:08:33 Canada.

1:08:34 Who normally just frown and look unhappy and they complain. They send letters.

1:08:39 Hey, I don't like this data center. Listen to what's happening in Canada.

1:08:44 No. To

1:08:45 Say no. To AI. This

1:08:48 is becoming a familiar sound of protest

1:08:52 in Canada. No. Large groups of people saying they don't want giant tech companies building enormous data centers near them. It's already a widespread backlash to the growing AI boom and the heavy demands it places on land, electricity,

1:09:07 and water.

1:09:08 Our water. Save our land. This group was

1:09:12 Saskatchewan, but similar protests have erupted in Ontario,

1:09:16 British Columbia,

1:09:17 Alberta.

1:09:18 One study calculates that applications are in the works for more than 90 new data centers.

1:09:23 Nonetheless,

1:09:24 the federal government recently gave the green light to two new data facilities in Vancouver. The Kearny government says they're important to establishing what it calls digital sovereignty.

1:09:35 Mhmm. That means cutting our dependence on other countries, especially The US to develop and store much of our data abroad.

1:09:43 Ottawa insists new data infrastructure is necessary for Canadian independence.

1:09:50 I like it that no a, say no to AI, a? A I a?

1:09:56 AI a.

1:09:59 Oh, they're they're right. They're right. Simmer down everybody. This stuff is just I've been using it for a year and a half trying to figure it out. I know we know the chatbots are evil because people are so gullible but none of this is really working.

1:10:14 And then okay. Now we move on to the next technology scam.

1:10:17 With no evidence whatsoever even though I'm a big believer that we've had the technology

1:10:23 since at least the seventies,

1:10:25 but probably the eighties and nineties.

1:10:28 All of a sudden, we've had a successful test of a directed energy weapon.

1:10:33 Don't show it to anybody,

1:10:34 but just trust Pete. Secretary Hagess

1:10:37 shared that the, the first milestone test of the Golden Dome for America was a success and that directed energy was harnessed to eliminate incoming threats. So, obviously, the Pentagon is wanting to buy these to use them against our adversaries.

1:10:51 What do you think of the investment in these type types of weapons?

1:10:54 Let's definitely need it, Katie. Obviously, you know, knocking down $2,000

1:10:59 drones with a million $2,000,000 s m two, s m six missiles or Patriot missiles just,

1:11:04 you know, your enemy can bankrupt you. So we have to deploy these lasers. They're onboard navy ships.

1:11:10 They're on ground based, units now. So the economics are starting to level the battlefield here. These direct energy weapons are are are pretty high speed. They've been in use, for a while, and as as Eric said, they are a a wide variety.

1:11:25 But as you alluded to the Havana syndrome, these have been used for a while, and they can be, debilitating.

1:11:31 I think the president kinda let it slip that we use some of the stuff during absolute resolve

1:11:36 when we went in there to get

1:11:39 Maduro. So these it's a new level of warfare, but it's it's definitely leveling the playing field. Yeah. He let it slip actually during our interview with him at the White House. I'm glad we asked about And then he went on to call it discombobulator.

1:11:52 Now,

1:11:53 if you and I ran

1:11:57 Raytheon

1:11:58 or Northrop Grumman,

1:12:00 don't you think we would have videos all over the place of this stuff

1:12:06 For sales?

1:12:09 Well, it depends.

1:12:11 If

1:12:12 it works. Well,

1:12:14 Agseth said, oh, I saw it I saw it happen. We zapped drones right out of the air.

1:12:22 And this of course

1:12:24 begets more questions

1:12:26 about Havana syndrome. These weapons seem to be in the hands of many factions that are operating without oversight.

1:12:34 This is an absolute

1:12:35 threat

1:12:36 to

1:12:38 domestic America. You know, all enemies foreign and domestic, we have these factions running around without oversight.

1:12:44 So with how we personnel there's personnel that are damaged. The Department of War lied about this for many years saying they didn't know what was causing Havana syndrome. They said they had no idea. Nobody has this technology.

1:12:55 Well, guess what? The Department of War this year stated,

1:12:58 we possess directed energy weapons and we're scaling them up. Yeah,

1:13:02 baby.

1:13:03 We're gonna zap your brain and we're first, we're gonna collect all your data, put it into the big data center so we control you.

1:13:10 People are not thinking logically, John. They're I mean, I'm seeing it in the troll room right now. Ben Rose is a smart guy.

1:13:17 He's like, they're just gonna control us once they have all the data in the data center. Bro,

1:13:22 don't put your data in the data center.

1:13:25 There's no need for Just keep everything local. Or use use Linux

1:13:29 and use a flip There's another there's another thing you should do. I I agree with that. This is it's you don't have to give everything voluntarily. My Windows my old old version of Windows 10 that can't be upgraded.

1:13:43 That's not that's not too bad.

1:13:45 That's the most

1:13:47 stable machine I have. But, you know, when you had a medical emergency,

1:13:54 we couldn't even get into your computer.

1:13:57 Where where where is This is true. Where's the service that can say, oh, don't worry. We've got you covered. Here's here's all John's password. You can send the email newsletter again. Yeah. Couldn't get in.

1:14:09 None of this makes But

1:14:11 this this is the black pill

1:14:13 vibe that we're seeing everywhere. Oh, it's just lost.

1:14:17 We're just hold on. Let let me tweet something about how lost we are with all our data. Let me let me take a photo and let me put that on the cloud. Tell everyone how lost we are with our data they're harvesting in the huge data centers.

1:14:31 Are

1:14:33 people stupid?

1:14:34 I guess. Well, they have to be stupid to even imagine a data center

1:14:39 the size of Manhattan Island.

1:14:42 And then then you say, well, well, how about twice the size of Manhattan Island?

1:14:47 You can't do what? Are you nuts?

1:14:50 Yeah. Have you seen the gigafactories

1:14:52 that Musk builds? Those things are minuscule by comparison. Yeah. No. No. It that was just an investor scam.

1:15:00 Well, it has to be. Of course, is. That's But what but what at what level do people go, wait a minute. It makes no sense. You can't build a building that's the size of a Manhattan Island. Look at all the buildings that are on Manhattan. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. No.

1:15:20 I know. I know.

1:15:22 But Well, that's the point of that clip. Well, that is a good clip.

1:15:27 But you hear it, you hear it, it is everywhere.

1:15:29 Man.

1:15:31 And Palantir is gonna control us all and the flock cameras. The flock cameras. That's my favorite.

1:15:37 The flock cameras. Yeah. The flock camera scandal

1:15:40 reminds me of what I think it was a number of years ago. You know, they they pretty much wired up a lot of England, The UK, especially London. Totally. Yeah. And people had said, there's there's it's overwired. They got cameras everywhere and no one knows what the hell is going on. Mhmm.

1:15:55 They can't be monitored. Or maybe AI can monitor. AI can monitor a lot. AI's

1:16:00 already had a

1:16:02 we have documented

1:16:04 women and men who have been arrested

1:16:07 for being here or there and they weren't there because AI misidentifies.

1:16:12 AI is no good.

1:16:14 I'm pretty sure that Larry Ellison didn't

1:16:16 didn't help at all

1:16:18 when he

1:16:20 when he I'll just replay this clip when this is

1:16:24 Now, Oracle, if you wanna talk about data harvesting, Oracle definitely is a company to be worried about.

1:16:31 They they are the de facto data, they are data brokers, they are data harvesters.

1:16:37 And when he was at the Stargate conference, what happened to that by the way? What happened to the magic Stargate?

1:16:42 Where'd that go? Is that still being built or that dwarfs in comparison to the the entire data center on Manhattan Island by the guy the guy on Shark Tank?

1:16:54 Here is what he said then. The police will be on their best behavior

1:16:58 because we record we're we're constantly recording, watching, recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior

1:17:06 because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.

1:17:12 And it's it's

1:17:13 unimpeachable.

1:17:14 The the cars the cars have camera, you know, cam cameras on them. Alright. We we have I think we have a squad car here someplace.

1:17:21 But those kind of applications using

1:17:24 AI if we can use AI and we're using AI to monitor the video. So if that altercation

1:17:30 had occurred that occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified.

1:17:35 It's not people that are looking at those cameras. It's AI that's looking at the camera. No. No. No. You can't do this. It would be like a shooting. That's gonna be immediately that's gonna be an an event that's immediately

1:17:46 rip an alarm's gonna go off. It's gonna be and we're gonna we're gonna have

1:17:51 supervision. In other words, every police officer is gonna be supervised

1:17:56 at all times. They are now. And the supervision will and and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate for person, whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whom whomever

1:18:08 we need to

1:18:10 take control of the situation. We have you know, same thing. We we have drones. We just if there's something going on in a shopping and I'll stop. A drone goes out there, get there way faster than a police car. There's no reason for, by the way, high speed chases. You shouldn't have high speed chases between cars. You just have a drone follow the car. I mean, it's very very simple. And then new generation generation of autonomous drones. Yeah. Okay.

1:18:35 As Larry, that's what Larry does. I'm selling you the future, baby, and you will love it. Doesn't it sound great? He's gone off the deep end with that commentary.

1:18:45 Sensei, back off the sushi. You're eating bad fish.

1:18:48 Yeah.

1:18:49 Of course.

1:18:50 Meanwhile, you have to deal with the following.

1:18:54 Here's Johnny

1:18:55 from your Jesse Waters show Yeah. On the Jersey Shore. When he's on the Jersey Shore asking people simple questions about about the Independence Day that's coming up, which is, by the way Yes.

1:19:08 July 4 is is on Saturday. Yeah. It's just around the corner.

1:19:13 He's gonna ask a few questions about Independence Day on the Jersey Shore amongst American classic Americans that you run into. There was one person that did answer all the questions correctly that cut most of that out. No. Of course. Because not only is man on the street already

1:19:28 skewed, but you can skew the skewed. So good job. Good work. Johnny hit the Jersey Shore for a good old fashioned Independence Day quiz.

1:19:37 Why do we celebrate the July 4?

1:19:41 I honestly couldn't answer that. Well,

1:19:44 actually not sure. Be lit and enjoy life. How old is America turning this year?

1:19:52 I

1:19:53 have no idea.

1:19:55 '58.

1:19:56 '58. Is it actually? No. 02/1950?

1:19:59 Where do we declare our independence from?

1:20:03 Explain that a little bit further. What do you mean by where? The United States.

1:20:08 Mozambique, Africa.

1:20:10 What was the name of the war in which we fought for our independence? Civil War. The civil war? Yeah. No.

1:20:18 Oh, god. I actually don't know. The rev.

1:20:22 Bro, I don't know. French and Indian war. World War two.

1:20:26 The revolutionary war.

1:20:29 What was the name of the general that led us to victory in the revolutionary war?

1:20:35 Does it begin with an a?

1:20:37 Washington.

1:20:39 General

1:20:40 Lee.

1:20:41 Hitler.

1:20:42 It was not Hitler. Then I have no idea. What year did we declare our independence?

1:20:47 This is a very wild guess.

1:20:51 1920.

1:20:52 1786.

1:20:54 1776.

1:20:57 1654.

1:20:58 Democrats, they like to say Donald Trump is a king, but we know we don't have kings in this country because we kicked a king to the curb. What was his name? Oh my god.

1:21:07 Might need some multiple choice here. King Tut.

1:21:11 Julius Caesar. King Charles or something?

1:21:14 Neptune?

1:21:15 Who signed the declaration of independence? William Shakespeare. Peare.

1:21:20 Lincoln.

1:21:21 Don. Wick.

1:21:23 George Bush.

1:21:29 Yeah. King Tut. King Tut was a good one. You'd be surprised how many

1:21:34 educated,

1:21:35 intelligent people who are friends

1:21:39 when they said, oh man, you're gonna be over there for the July 4. I said, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I said, do they celebrate the July 4 there? Five people at least have asked me this question.

1:21:49 What? Yeah. And do they it's the same thing with

1:21:54 yeah. Do they celebrate the fourth of July over there? Or do they it's the same thing with Thanksgiving?

1:21:59 It's like, no.

1:22:01 The better the the old joke is, do they have a fourth of July in Holland? Well, yes. They something between the third and the fifth. Yeah.

1:22:10 No. And and they they usually realize their mistake, like, oh, oh, oh, that's kinda stupid.

1:22:16 But it comes so easily to us.

1:22:20 Yeah.

1:22:22 Aside I mean, I was just going through clips today. I'm like, man, everything is so cynical and negative and downer

1:22:30 and,

1:22:31 and

1:22:32 yes, we got the fourth of July, we should be happy. I I remember the bicentennial.

1:22:36 I'm old enough to remember 1976.

1:22:38 I was in America, we came back on leave from Europe

1:22:42 and it was great.

1:22:44 I can't remember. We were in think we were in Rhode Island for some reason.

1:22:48 And it was fantastic and everyone was happy and

1:22:52 fireworks and drill teams, drill teams.

1:22:55 No. It was it was fantastic. I that's what how I remember it. And I just see, you know, I just Negative negative. Almost everywhere except to the people on Fox. Media. I mean, but I don't think it's just generally. No. But what do we do? We negative around here and I'm in Berkeley. Yeah. But we we deconstruct media. So when I'm going through clips, I'm like, oh, man, this is all that it is. It's just America sucks. We got a king and he's no good. It's

1:23:21 just this

1:23:23 was a whole

1:23:26 Jake Tapper

1:23:27 just

1:23:28 went off on Trump's disclosure.

1:23:32 Now, I'm pretty sure that

1:23:36 World Financial

1:23:38 and the Trump Meme coin and all that stuff, I'm pretty sure that was all done and wrapped up before he became president.

1:23:46 Do you recall?

1:23:49 I do not recall, but I do have the Trump reports crypto earnings,

1:23:53 CBS clip. Yeah. Let's let's kick it off with that and then I'll we'll do some analysis

1:23:58 from Jake Tapper. We have breaking news now from the White House where we're learning a lot more about president Trump's bank account tonight. His annual financial disclosure report shows president made more than $1,000,000,000

1:24:08 last year in cryptocurrency,

1:24:11 including hundreds of millions from selling those Trump meme coins.

1:24:15 Let's bring in senior White House correspondent,

1:24:17 Zhang, with more. Weijia, good evening.

1:24:19 Tony, good evening. A few figures jumped out because of how big they are. President Trump's financial disclosure reveals he reported more than $1,400,000,000

1:24:29 in income from his family's cryptocurrency ventures last year, including 635,000,000

1:24:36 in royalties from those Trump meme coins and more than $500,000,000

1:24:41 from World Liberty Financial Token Sales, which is a venture he and his sons cofounded.

1:24:47 Democratic lawmakers have long criticized Trump for crypto friendly deregulation,

1:24:52 accusing the president of gutting safeguards to personally benefit, although it is not illegal for Trump to invest in private companies.

1:25:01 And tonight, the White House says there are no conflicts of interest.

1:25:05 Also new tonight, president Trump just announced the Republican Party will hold a convention for the midterm elections for the first time ever in Dallas in September.

1:25:14 He says it will include a massive rally and entertainment.

1:25:18 Tony.

1:25:19 Yeah. So

1:25:20 let's just set a couple of things apart here. So World Financial,

1:25:24 which is run by the Trump brothers,

1:25:27 which they sold to I think they sold the majority, if not all of it to Qatar, to the

1:25:33 the Goomba over there, whatever his name is.

1:25:37 Goomba. The Goomba. Yes. And that's a stable coin company.

1:25:40 It's a very legit it's completely legitimate business,

1:25:44 coin base is in it, there's tons of companies doing it, Tether,

1:25:47 Circle

1:25:49 and just to

1:25:51 make it simple to understand, it could be could actually be very good for America

1:25:55 because that shifts the treasury

1:25:58 auctions

1:26:00 and the interest rates from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury.

1:26:05 So the Treasury can say, oh, you know what? And these would all be short term bonds.

1:26:11 You want to

1:26:13 to create

1:26:15 $10,000,000

1:26:16 of stable coin, you have to buy $1,010,000,000,000

1:26:19 or $10,000,000 of treasury.

1:26:22 So it's backed by treasuries.

1:26:24 And already over $30,000,000,000,000

1:26:26 in stable coin is being used around the world. It's a great way to expand our currency dominance, which you want. You want the dollar to exist. If you're an American, you want the dollar to continue

1:26:38 and that's a legitimate business. They're very small in comparison to Tether,

1:26:43 which is actually owned by our commerce secretary or he's the he's the the agent for it, which is what's his face? Smiley

1:26:52 guy.

1:26:54 Our commerce secretary.

1:26:56 Yeah. Not Bess and No. No. No. The commerce secretary.

1:26:59 Yeah. I'm trying to think of his name. I'm just I'm blind for a second. So and and that's a legitimate business

1:27:05 and the way you make money and there's a big argument in in in congress right now. The way you make money is you buy the treasuries and there's a pretty good deal right now because you get a guaranteed, you know, four and a half percent

1:27:21 interest And on those

1:27:22 so all you're doing is just creating a digital token for each treasury and you collect the interest. Now the big argument over the Clarity Act,

1:27:31 which you might have heard about,

1:27:32 is

1:27:33 can we also offer benefits to people who buy our stable coin and the banks are saying no because then you have to be a bank because banks have, you know, deposit insurance and so that's what the Clarity Act is all about.

1:27:47 And the stablecoin's legit business. Now, the meme coin that Trump did, I tried to do that.

1:27:53 I really tried to do that. I had crap partners.

1:27:57 We were going to You were in Holland, yeah. Doing Yeah. Advertising in in Dutch. Yeah. I saw one of these ads. Yeah. We we were You're promoting this this coin.

1:28:06 What happened?

1:28:09 They could well, so we were going to an ICO, an initial coin offering. That is that is there's tens of thousands of them and what you do is you say, okay, we're gonna issue this coin and this coin can be used to go to concerts, this was our deal, concerts,

1:28:25 meet artists, know, if you have x number of coins and the coins have value and they have value because of this and it's all about marketing.

1:28:34 And just as we were doing that, and this is all based on Ethereum, this is a long time ago,

1:28:41 the Ethereum price kind of collapsed and no one really wanted to do ICOs

1:28:45 and these partners were Dutch, that was the first problem that we just couldn't get it off the ground. And then they and and they didn't then they didn't wanna put any money into it. They never paid half of my bills, you know. So it was a it was a rip. It was a loser. It was a loser. Yeah. But it could have been an instant where, oh, boom. And you would have been you could have made a billion dollars. I would not be doing this show. I would be sitting on an island somewhere

1:29:11 laughing it up. No. You'd probably be wasting the billion dollars somehow. No. I I already went through one of those cycles. I'm like, I've learned my lesson on that. Yeah. That's what they always say. Yeah. Well, then maybe maybe you would stop. And you know what? There's always the podcast that I'll be like, I can always go back to the podcast.

1:29:29 And so That's what Bill Gates used to always say, you and you catch

1:29:33 him

1:29:34 he's

1:29:35 in the early days, he'd say, well, if this if this Microsoft idea doesn't work out, I can always go back to coding.

1:29:43 Lutnick. Howard Lutnick.

1:29:46 The guy. Howard Lutnick, our commerce secretary.

1:29:49 So the meme coin, yeah, it it's a

1:29:52 you know, it's it's no better or worse than Elon Musk with Doge and all of this stuff is in essence worthless or what, you know, it's like a collectible. Spaceball cards. Well, the Trump's Trump has a lot of collectible items. He's in tons of He knows it. Yeah. He does the you know, the bible, the watch.

1:30:10 Oh, he he made he

1:30:12 made, like, $8,000,000

1:30:13 on the stupid watch.

1:30:15 It's all Yeah. People going by well, this is corruption at the highest level. I don't think so. I don't think there's anything wrong with a president of The United States

1:30:25 who is who who

1:30:27 likes tchotchkes,

1:30:29 which is this or junk.

1:30:31 And people, you know, people have sent me most of the most of the collector. I have not no one there's two things missing from my collection. Not that I'm I'm asking for these things, although it's gonna sound like it. I don't have a Trump watch,

1:30:45 and I don't have an Indiana

1:30:48 sweatshirt from their championship.

1:30:50 But And I was wearing at the meetup, I was wearing Ohio State, and I was condemned for not wearing Indiana.

1:30:57 And I said, these cheap bastards from Indiana, no one's ever sent me a sweatshirt.

1:31:02 But you have a Steve Jobs dollar coin.

1:31:05 There's no difference. But I did get the Steve Jobs.

1:31:08 The the best the best digital thing I ever did was bought it was mtv.com.

1:31:13 Mtv.com

1:31:14 was a great deal for me. And and of course, I can't divulge it because we settled out of court. No one has any further comment, but I started my company right after that and then I had a good run.

1:31:26 It's funny because

1:31:27 John Markoff of the New York Times

1:31:30 was on top of the same kind of idea and he got nyt.com.

1:31:35 Oh, really?

1:31:37 Yeah. That was his domain.

1:31:38 So I have two domain stories. And he and they bitched about it, so he just gave it to him. Well, I had elvis dot com

1:31:46 and for a while I had an email I had an email address going king@elvis.com

1:31:51 and people would send emails,

1:31:54 hey, King, I saw you at the 07:11.

1:31:57 I love your music. It was just going on and on and on. And I had that for a long time and then Priscilla Presley called me and says, hey,

1:32:06 do you got elvis dot com? I said, you can have it. I'm not gonna fight you. I'm not gonna fight Elvis. You can have it. I gave it to her. Then when we built budweiser.com

1:32:17 for Anheuser Busch, who was my client.

1:32:21 Bud.com

1:32:22 was owned by some dude

1:32:24 in like the Texas backwoods

1:32:27 and he was just a His name was probably Bud. Totally.

1:32:30 And he was a big fan of of Budweiser.

1:32:34 And so Budweiser is like, oh man, this guy's gonna he's gonna jerk us around. It's gonna cost us millions of dollars. So So let me talk to him. Let see what we can do. Call the guy, he was exactly like that. I'm just a fan. I just love my bud. It's really good. So well, Budweiser

1:32:50 would really really like to use that for their internet domain.

1:32:55 Would you consider parting with it?

1:32:57 And he thought and he said,

1:32:59 do you think you could get me a six pack of long neck sand by August Bush?

1:33:04 I think I could do that, sir. I think I could have it hand delivered to you. And that's how they got bud.com back.

1:33:11 It's like a Seinfeld episode.

1:33:13 Yeah.

1:33:14 Yeah. You know, he was a good old boy. He didn't he didn't want a lot of He could've gotten he could've picked up a few

1:33:21 dollars and cents. Reckon I recommended

1:33:24 that they they fly him in on the jet and give him a tour but they didn't go for that. So you should just do that.

1:33:31 Anyway You should have not recommended it. You should have said that's what he's demanding. Oh, yeah. Well, I was young, can I say? I just given up elvis.com.

1:33:39 Yeah.

1:33:41 You did.

1:33:42 Still have diaries.com,

1:33:44 still waiting for that million dollars to come in.

1:33:47 You have diaries.com and nothing's come of it? No. Well, I got one I think you missed a window. The window was early. It's like the guy who had art.com

1:33:55 A decade ago.

1:33:56 Yeah. Well, longer than that. Art.com

1:34:00 I know this for a fact. Art.com sold for $1,000,000.

1:34:04 Yeah. Well, broadcast.com

1:34:06 bought bought

1:34:08 Mark an entire basketball team.

1:34:10 Yeah. That's yep. Right. Yep.

1:34:13 So Yahoo's

1:34:15 at Yahoo.

1:34:16 Let's

1:34:17 listen to

1:34:18 let's listen to

1:34:20 do you wanna listen to Tapper talk about it? Yeah. Let's be here a little bit. It's kinda fun. Today, we are getting a much clearer picture of just how much president Donald Trump and his family have been

1:34:31 profiting in many ways since Trump's return to the White House. We're gonna walk you through multiple examples, starting with president Trump's newly released 2025 financial disclosure

1:34:41 required

1:34:42 by the Ethics in Government Act of 1978

1:34:46 that shows his total income for 2025 exceeded $2,200,000,000.

1:34:50 That is up

1:34:51 from $622,000,000

1:34:53 in

1:34:54 2024

1:34:55 before he returned to the White House. This 927

1:34:59 page report is a staggering look at president Trump's growing fortune

1:35:04 made while he's president through cryptocurrency

1:35:08 holdings,

1:35:09 royalty payments,

1:35:10 property investments,

1:35:12 and much more. Now Trump's total crypto earnings alone

1:35:16 totaled about $1,400,000,000

1:35:18 during his first year back in office. 1.4 Stop the clip. Stop clip.

1:35:22 Does he discuss

1:35:24 how this hurts the taxpayers

1:35:27 or how this involves the taxpayers

1:35:30 or or how this involves taxpayer money?

1:35:33 No. That he spent almost

1:35:35 forty five minutes on just complaining about it.

1:35:39 No. There was no mention he brings on.

1:35:42 Because there is no taxpayer scam here. No.

1:35:45 No. There's not at all. It's impropriety,

1:35:47 man. It's just a bad look, man. Own totaled about $1,400,000,000

1:35:53 during his first year back in office. 1,400,000,000

1:35:56 with a Billion with a B. And it's important to note, president Trump began making cryptocurrency regulations

1:36:02 or the lack thereof. See, this is what they try to do. They what they're trying to do is saying, he made all this money because

1:36:09 he's got cryptocurrency

1:36:10 regulations

1:36:11 going,

1:36:12 But they already sold out. They already sold out on the stable coin.

1:36:17 They you know, it was 500,000,000,

1:36:19 you know, that that's that was what they got,

1:36:21 which went in I think it went in I don't if it went to Trump himself personally, but probably into the the Trump family money.

1:36:28 That was it, but that was before any regulation was in. A big part of his presidency,

1:36:34 some of the crypto earnings on the financial disclosure include

1:36:38 more than $526,000,000

1:36:40 from sales of cryptocurrency tokens tied to World Liberty Financial

1:36:45 LLC,

1:36:47 which is managed in That's

1:36:48 factually false.

1:36:50 They didn't sell any tokens. They sold a piece or most of the company for that money. Part by his sons, Eric and Donald Trump junior.

1:36:59 Also,

1:37:00 an agreement with Celebration

1:37:02 Coins paid Trump $635,000,000.

1:37:06 See, that's the guys I was supposed to be working with when I tried to do that. Where was Celebration Coins?

1:37:12 I was trying to do that. What was the name of that coin? Do you remember what that coin was?

1:37:17 No. I don't. Oh, gosh. I'm racking my I'll I'll think of it. This is thought to be behind the Trump meme coin,

1:37:24 which has plunged in value since he launched it days before taking office.

1:37:28 After Trump and co sold them,

1:37:30 they plunged from a high of $74.27

1:37:35 to their current value around $1.70

1:37:39 according to Coinbase. Scam. Must be a scam. Must be a scam. Let's talk about the royalties.

1:37:45 Royalties.

1:37:45 Then there's more of the deals that Trump struck to lend his name to random products and ventures, which lead to huge royalties and licensing fees such as Trump watches generated $4,700,000

1:37:57 in royalties. Don't forget the $208,000

1:38:00 related to a bible

1:38:01 that the president frequently promoted,

1:38:04 plus $67,634

1:38:07 for Trump sneakers

1:38:10 and fragrances.

1:38:12 What exactly is a Trump fragrance?

1:38:14 You don't know. Aside from business ventures, Trump's financial disclosure also includes gifts

1:38:20 and his various quote unquote settlements

1:38:22 with social media companies and news organizations whom he sued

1:38:27 or threatened to.

1:38:28 $8,000,000 from Twitter or X after Elon Musk settled with Trump last February. $16,000,000

1:38:34 each from ABC and from CBS

1:38:37 donated to the Donald j Trump Presidential Library Foundation, of course. $24,500,000

1:38:43 from Facebook parent company Meta also donated to the Trump library. $22,000,000

1:38:48 from YouTube

1:38:49 given to the trust for the National Mall.

1:38:51 In terms of Trump's actual profit making,

1:38:54 it is

1:38:57 unprecedented

1:38:58 for a sitting president,

1:39:00 and it's drawn criticism from opponents and others who say there are multiple conflicts of interest. The White House denies and today Trump

1:39:06 downplayed any concerns

1:39:08 that he could be profiting off the presidency.

1:39:11 Mister president, your financial disclosure shows you had a very lucrative year last year. What message does this send to to average Americans, especially those who may be struggling right now financially? I don't get involved in my personal we have funds that run my money. To critics who say you're profiting off the presidency, mister Well, you know why I'm profiting? Because the stock market's going up. Everybody's profiting.

1:39:32 The stock market is not why he made $22,200,000,000

1:39:36 last year. Oh, man. Okay. Here's the PBS version that will stop this nonsense. Eric, I guess the big question here is if mister Trump was not president,

1:39:45 could he or would he have made the same amount of money that he did? It's hard to imagine that if he were not president that there would that his

1:39:53 meme coin

1:39:54 or it would be as as profitable as it has been or that there would have been the scale of investment in Oh, I

1:40:03 What kind of analysis is is this? If he was not president then That's exactly. This is like, how much money did you make, mister Curry?

1:40:13 Well, I made x amount of money and be as a podcaster. Well, what would you have made if you weren't a podcaster?

1:40:19 Well, you know, you I mean, it's it's it's it's No. No. Logically stupid. No. This is my favorite is, well, you have a lot of listeners because you were already famous,

1:40:29 dude.

1:40:30 No.

1:40:32 There was no there was no podcast in when we started in well, when I started podcasting in 2003.

1:40:38 And you and I had to had to drag

1:40:40 this thing out of the swamp

1:40:43 for years.

1:40:46 Same type of thing.

1:40:47 Yeah. Meme coin or it would be as as profitable as it has been or that there would have been the scale of investment in World Liberty Financial on the stable coin.

1:40:59 It it is it seems as if his his status as president is, like, intimately

1:41:04 intertwined with the success of those companies. And Okay. Hold on.

1:41:09 So what we're doing here, this is a trick.

1:41:12 The I the the implication,

1:41:14 even though he's not saying it directly,

1:41:17 is that, which is a little different than my analysis I just gave. This implication is that this is corruption. This is play

1:41:25 a pay to play. If he wasn't president, then Exactly. The stablecoin wouldn't exist. It's not Or the stablecoin wouldn't be successful. Meme coin. Meme coin. That's not a stablecoin

1:41:34 If it wasn't if he wasn't president, the only reason is this is this is basically the analogy

1:41:41 to Hunter Biden's art.

1:41:43 Yeah. Yeah. No one would buy Hunter Biden's art if the Biden wasn't president. True.

1:41:49 That's not the same thing as this.

1:41:55 Okay. We'll continue. And it's it's, like, intimately

1:41:58 intertwined with the success of those companies.

1:42:01 And, I mean, the the fact that he launched the meme coin as they were gathering at a One more thing. What?

1:42:09 One more thing. Yeah. With Hunter Biden's art, I'm giving Hunter Biden a quarter of $1,000,000

1:42:14 to get favor with somebody. I'm not buying a $10

1:42:18 meme coin,

1:42:19 so Trump will do me a favor. There's no quid pro quo. Well, you, you do get to go to a special dinner.

1:42:28 There's a special dinner Yeah. For everyone who bought a meme coin? Yes. Yes. He does these dinners.

1:42:33 Oh, I should've bought one. That's exactly

1:42:36 Curry and Trump's gonna be there and they don't have to pay for the dinner as a free meal? Well, a lot of these people paid a lot of money to get their meme coins, I guess. So yeah. Three days before his inauguration for what was called the Crypto Ball, it was a bunch of crypto executives and and and administration,

1:42:51 you know, soon to be administration officials there to celebrate his inauguration, and that's the night he launched it. And and it was like, follow me as I lead the world.

1:43:00 These things are so intertwined. I think it's it's hard to imagine he would have made as much money. He's never made this much money in his entire life as he's made in this one year. So I think that's part of your answer right there. Well, there you go. That's it. That's part of your answer. That's that's PBS, man. We don't know this. No.

1:43:17 Because his taxes have never been released.

1:43:20 How do we know that this is the most he's ever made? We don't. We Well, why did they they stated they stated it as fact. This is what I'm saying. It everything sucks.

1:43:30 All the news is this.

1:43:33 Yes.

1:43:38 There

1:43:39 was this was an interview. So there must have been pushback by the reporters saying No. Well, how do we know that this is the most he's ever made? He's never released his taxes. At least,

1:43:49 Ms. Now is honest about it and they just they just come out and say, hey, we're doing all of this because of the midterms. That's all that we're doing it about. It's for the midterms. It's 2028 and we're going to blanket the airways with all of this stuff nonstop until you vote Democrat.

1:44:06 No.

1:44:07 '20 the midterms for 2026, but 2028

1:44:10 for the next president.

1:44:13 And we're going to blanket the airwaves until you vote Democrat, you stupid people. In many ways though, our story

1:44:19 in America has been our ability to overcome adversity. This isn't the first time our nation has faced adversity. But what we've done in every chapter of our American story is despite the challenges, we've ended that chapter

1:44:33 on a more adversity.

1:44:35 What?

1:44:36 What adversity are we in? Trump. He's just an adversity. He's the adversity president. No. With more freedom, more opportunity,

1:44:44 more justice, more equity.

1:44:46 I know it doesn't feel that way right now, but we are in the midst of writing that chapter. And it will be up to the American people less people with titles next to their name, more ordinary Americans doing what Franklin said to that woman outside Independence Hall that Meacham

1:45:04 referenced,

1:45:04 defending

1:45:06 our republic, keeping our republic. The work falls to all of us. That's why we need a national referendum

1:45:13 this November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption. We need people to rise up and vote and be No. No. It's the three it's the trifecta.

1:45:23 Chaos, cruelty, and corruption.

1:45:25 It's and I'm a sucker for alliteration. They nailed it on this one. I know what the sea is today. End them. This November on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption. We need people to rise up and Rise vote and be a jerk on this That's correct. Begin to see our way out of this darkness toward more light. That's dark.

1:45:47 What? At least they're honest about it. This is what I love. They're honest about it.

1:45:52 They're honest. There's two more from this. This is so good. So I wanna ask Oops. Sorry. This one. I mean, is as clear as day in the fourteenth amendment. This case should have taken Yeah. Now this is regarding the fourteenth amendment, but it's all about Trump. A nanosecond to decide, and it should have been nine nothing. I I gather some of the justices were intimidated

1:46:11 by Donald Trump sitting there in the court staring at them, glaring at them during that decision. And

1:46:17 then J. D. Vance comes along and says the quiet part out loud. It's one of the reasons why we have to win the United States Senate and not let them appoint

1:46:28 a justice

1:46:29 should there be a vacancy

1:46:31 who would be younger,

1:46:32 who would be there for a long time, and be more dangerous when it comes to eviscerating

1:46:37 the rights of of Americans. So bottom line here is we need real reform in this country. It's gotta be people centered and people powered. People come as a result of people rising up, showing up at the ballot box, demanding more from Mail in ballots. Their elected officials and ushering in a new chapter in this country. One that gets us back to our roots of being more hopeful, more inclusive,

1:47:02 and more just. You see, this is this is the point. Do you feel down with all the messaging we're throwing in your face?

1:47:08 Just vote democrat and everything will be more hopeful. And and this is this is the the kicker, the last one in this series. Ty, I wanna ask you something of a personal question. I mean, you represented Donald Trump. You worked closely with him. Now you're you're a pretty vocal

1:47:23 critic,

1:47:24 very vocal critic of him. What do you think of the lawyers who signed on

1:47:28 to work with him during this administration?

1:47:31 So I think it's very important

1:47:34 that

1:47:35 even the worst presidents have the best assistance.

1:47:39 So I think lawyers who go to work for this administration, if they can go in with the determination to to honor their oath, which is to serve the constitution and American citizens,

1:47:50 not an individual,

1:47:52 And and if they actually do that, they're performing an enormous

1:47:56 public service. I think what we see, however, is we've seen a lot of people who have abandoned their oaths. Take Todd Blanche as exhibit

1:48:04 a or or Pam Bondi as exhibit a one. One. Pam Bondi had a session in the whole Great Hall Of Justice where, you know, she declared the fealty of herself and the entire department

1:48:17 to one man, to Donald Trump, not to the country, not to the constitution, to one man. And you've seen Todd Blanche trying to facilitate a $1,800,000,000

1:48:24 slush fund

1:48:26 Slush you know, taking the money from the taxpayers

1:48:29 that unjustifiably

1:48:32 was given to Trump in a quote settlement of a dispute that wasn't really even a legal dispute.

1:48:38 And and we've seen we've seen people just do things that are unconscionable and unprecedented in American history and at a scale that the country

1:48:46 is now being numbed to. You know, the own comparison

1:48:51 No. No. No. No. The the kicker's coming here. Listen. Now being numbed to. You know, the we own I've seen comparisons

1:48:57 of Hunter Biden to the Trump family. You know, that's that's like, you know, come that's like comparing a Jaywalker to to Jeffrey Dahmer. No. There we go.

1:49:08 It wasn't worth the effort. Well, it's only because you got bored of it. I can't help it. The guy's long winded.

1:49:13 Do you remember Nate? I have four clips I wanna play before we go out. This is what I'm seeing the time constraints here. Yeah. Well, it's because we're having a good time.

1:49:21 We're having a great time.

1:49:23 Too

1:49:25 bad we can't do anything about that. We got We gotta at least mention the heat deaths in the EU.

1:49:31 Yes.

1:49:32 Hold on a second. And because you're in the EU and I wanted to make sure we got to this clip. Yeah. I will and I will give you a boots on the ground report after the clip. In

1:49:42 Europe, there's a perfect storm, the oldest population on any continent that's warming the fastest.

1:49:49 France's record heat last week is linked to roughly one thousand deaths of mostly elderly. Of all climate related impacts and hazards, heat is the biggest killer. European

1:50:01 officials are calling for change,

1:50:03 but not the kind that may seem obvious.

1:50:06 Install air conditioning, especially for vulnerable people and save lives. Why is that not a solution in Europe?

1:50:12 My honest response is I don't think that should be the solution anywhere. In the longer term, what happens is

1:50:19 installing more air conditioning actually emits more heat

1:50:23 into our environment,

1:50:25 it will actually increase

1:50:26 the speed of of warming.

1:50:29 It's also more expensive.

1:50:31 Energy prices are much higher in Europe.

1:50:34 Governments find other ways to cool historic and densely populated cities.

1:50:39 In Rome, wearable technology is distributed to monitor the elderly who are by far in the most danger. A

1:50:47 recent survey in France said one in six people they they surveyed said they'd rather suffer for the sake of the environment. Does that surprise you? No. We're not doing this for us. We're doing this for future generations.

1:50:59 Leek and Irie, CBS News, London.

1:51:04 I I

1:51:05 I have no no evidence, but I read and I heard that in The UK,

1:51:11 they were going around saying you gotta take you gotta take that air conditioner out of the, out of your window. We're gonna arrest you.

1:51:21 I wouldn't be surprised.

1:51:23 It kinda wouldn't surprise me either,

1:51:25 but

1:51:27 yeah. Supposedly according to some reports they're doing that all over the place.

1:51:31 We Because she's trying to kill people, that's what it is. So I asked Christina before we came over, then I I sent her a link to one of these stories and I said because she finally because you know, she's thirty eight weeks pregnant.

1:51:43 It was

1:51:44 a 100 degrees. They had no air conditioner, flat roof above the bedroom. So they were sleeping downstairs

1:51:50 and they got a portable unit. She's like, oh, so nice. I and I sent her this link. I said,

1:51:56 I hope the climate crazies don't do this in Holland. She says,

1:52:00 this is Now she's a woman of the people. I think Dutch people would revolt against that. Everybody's tired of everything and all the climate bullshit.

1:52:09 So maybe,

1:52:10 but they still have don't have their bikes back. So I'm not sure that they would really revolt about it. The bikes. It

1:52:16 was a nice 73 degrees and raining when we got here today. Oh, that's perfect. Yeah. It's very nice. And the the rain was only brief, cooled everything down, everybody's happy that everyone's

1:52:27 outside,

1:52:28 you know, on the terraces having a good time. What's your second clip?

1:52:33 Secret event. Tell me what it is. Secret event.

1:52:36 Oh, I know exactly what this is. This is the

1:52:40 Darren O'Neil has been invited

1:52:43 to be the emcee of the

1:52:46 Taylor Swift wedding at Madison Square Garden.

1:52:51 Did I get it? The clip. Newark police commissioner Yeah.

1:52:54 Yeah. I got it. Newark police commissioner Jessica Tisch indicating that something big was about to happen at the world's most famous arena. In a briefing about major events happening

1:53:03 this weekend in New York City, I would be remiss

1:53:07 not to mention an event that we are tracking at Madison Square Garden

1:53:12 on Friday night.

1:53:13 The NYPD will, of course, have a detail in place, but I am not going to go into

1:53:20 more specifics Of on that at this

1:53:24 course. They do it on the fourth of July weekend with the biggest celebration for two fifty. Yeah. Are they really gonna do it on this weekend?

1:53:32 Yeah. It's supposed to be like tomorrow.

1:53:34 Oh,

1:53:35 That's You idiots. Two more clips.

1:53:38 Oh, I I have one climate change clip for Europe, if if I can sneak that one in. Okay. The last eleven years are the hottest on record. We know the ocean is getting warmer. The Earth's surf This is PBS, of course. Chris' temperature is rising. Europe is experiencing unprecedented,

1:53:54 heat right now. What's the impact of climate change on all of this? You know, climate change underlies all of this. Right? All of it. Temperatures are about three degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were just a little over a hundred years ago. Oh. So if you picture it like a building, if your foundation of the building is, let's say, three feet higher, well, then your building's gonna be three feet higher. So what? I'm just distance.

1:54:14 This is distance and This is

1:54:17 to do with Yeah. With the temperature? Yes. And apparently,

1:54:21 it was

1:54:22 97 degrees in Europe a hundred years ago. Sorry. It's this is a cycle, man. Years ago. So if you picture it like a building, if your foundation of the building is, let's say, three feet higher, well, then your building's gonna be three feet higher. Wow.

1:54:38 What?

1:54:41 Climate change is making all heat domes,

1:54:45 every heat wave more intense,

1:54:47 longer lasting. Okay.

1:54:49 I looked it up. You know when we started talking about heat domes on this show?

1:54:55 At least fifteen years ago. No. Not quite. Twelve years ago. And it was just it was a heat dome. We weren't too crazy about climate change at the time,

1:55:05 but now all of a sudden heat domes are because of climate change. Let's forget El Nino, the super El Nino. Let's forget the jet screen streams. Let's forget all about that. It's climate change. Heat domes. Every heat wave, more intense,

1:55:18 longer lasting,

1:55:19 and also larger in scope.

1:55:22 And what we're seeing is unprecedented

1:55:24 type heat. In fact, the heat wave in Europe that played out over the past week or so, there was a study that was done by World Weather Attribution. They found that the heat dome was that likely about six degrees Fahrenheit

1:55:36 hotter than it otherwise would have been just fifty years ago. And fifty years ago It can't have been virtually impossible

1:55:43 without climate change. But I have a study. So that's the impact on the European heat wave. There's gonna be another one shaping up as we head into the weekend and next week. For the Eastern US. Again, not an unprecedented heat wave, but climate change is certainly making it hotter than it would have otherwise been. Due to climate change

1:55:59 You know, that's the one thing These people these people should be arrested.

1:56:03 That's the one thing. I'm so I'm happy about our president. At least he did that for us.

1:56:08 He just called it out and stopped all the all the funding of it. He

1:56:14 did. He slowed it down.

1:56:16 No, I I think he changed people's minds. I think he really did. Well, let's hope so. Yeah. I think so. Okay. Now here's one more that that has to do with we've been kinda talking about this on and off. This is the latest iteration of

1:56:28 let's get some new gear. This is the drone hitting the airliner. You heard this one? Yes.

1:56:34 Tonight, the FAA is investigating a potential drone strike over New York. JetBlue flight nine forty eight from Las Vegas was on final approach to New York's JFK Airport early this morning when pilots reported a close encounter with an apparent drone at 3,000 feet. We collided with a drone back there in the turn.

1:56:52 You said you collided?

1:56:53 Yep. It hit us right right above the cockpit. The Airbus a three twenty one landed without incident. JetBlue says a post flight inspection found no signs of damage or any indication of a collision.

1:57:05 The FAA is also investigating another drone incident at nearby Newark Airport, Friday. A United Airlines seven thirty seven reported it was nearly hit by a drone while descending with 111

1:57:16 on board. And we almost hit a drone right there at Kimmy, United 1513,

1:57:21 about a 100 feet below us. United fifteen thirteen, do you get a look at it? Yeah. It was

1:57:27 it was like a circular

1:57:30 shape, and that was about it. It looked like it was about three feet wide.

1:57:34 Drones are not supposed to fly near airports or above 400 feet.

1:57:40 But the FAA receives more than a 100 reports a month of drones operating around airports.

1:57:47 Tony, that's more than three every day. Yep.

1:57:51 Yeah. Remember when we had all those

1:57:54 drones from an Iranian

1:57:56 mother ship

1:57:57 in in New Jersey? Yeah. What about that one? That got a lot of play. That was good. Those were good times. Hey, man. This is real, man. This is Iran. Oh, wasn't it aliens?

1:58:09 Oh, it's supposed to be aliens. Social media has ruined the world. It has ruined the world. Has ruined the world. And so has Ozempic.

1:58:16 And my last clip will be this one.

1:58:19 Ozempic. There's always something with Ozempic.

1:58:22 Yeah. There's a couple of things with Ozempic these these days. Craziest shit I heard today at the Wait. Salon Wait. Sorry? I was gonna ask you if you have you have you heard of Well, actually Ozempic vagina?

1:58:34 Oh, no. But I might want some. The craziest shit I heard today at the salon comes from a friend client in the medical sales community.

1:58:42 According to plastic surgeons in the South, the highest growing procedure is to correct Ozempic vagina. So if the

1:58:51 symptoms

1:58:52 of Ozempic weren't bad enough, now

1:58:55 there is enough deterioration of the connective tissue that it is causing the vagina

1:59:01 parts of the vagina to deteriorate and fall out of the body, so it's still attached.

1:59:07 But the procedure,

1:59:08 as far as we could tell,

1:59:11 corrects that and lifts it back into the body.

1:59:15 So if the other if hair loss wasn't bad enough, if all the other side effects weren't bad enough,

1:59:21 for the one percent of people who actually need to be on Ozempic,

1:59:25 not like the general public

1:59:27 that's just taking it as a recreational

1:59:31 option,

1:59:32 this seems like the one

1:59:35 to watch for.

1:59:37 Wow. And it's now on Medicare.

1:59:40 $50 a month. You too can get OVAG. That's right, everybody. OVAG. OVAG. But it's okay. You won't be able to see it from your rotting eye disease. So it's all good. It's all good. And only one man could bring that to you. That story, ladies and gentlemen. It is the man who put the sea in chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, mister John C. Dvorak.

2:02:42 just get no spam because you get no emails.

2:02:46 Hold on.

2:02:50 Well, I I don't know if I have Is it just I don't know if this is your Don't say it. I I'm

2:02:56 sorry. I don't know if this is it. Let me see if it gets rejected. Let me see. No. It looks like it looks like it went.

2:03:02 I I could always do it in a browser, guess, on my Gmail. Did you get it?

2:03:08 Come in? Curiously.

2:03:10 Is it? I got I did get it from Jay.

2:03:14 Oh, so you got it?

2:03:16 Well, I I think. Let me see if I can download it. Well,

2:03:22 while while you look for that Well, I'm doing all the work. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Tons of work there. While you're doing all that work When I gotta click on this, I gotta click on that, and I gotta Oh, I wanna tell

2:03:32 everybody about Value4Value,

2:03:33 the new international lifestyle that we have been living on for almost nineteen years

2:03:38 where we don't make you jump through hoops or or pay upfront or have to listen to mediocre content because you pay for the bonus content or the good stuff. No. We just give it all to you. Twice a week.

2:03:51 All of it right there. All you have to do is to to keep it going if you like the show. If you get value out of it, oh, there it is. Send us some value back. You know, how come you never pitch the Value4Value? Why is it always me? One, I wanna hear your Value4Value

2:04:04 pitch.

2:04:05 Hey, I'm trying to get this thing up. This is what she said.

2:04:10 Okay. Did you get it up? Is it up? No.

2:04:14 Otherwise, I'd be pitching value for value. Mhmm. Okay. So well, alright. I can stop taping. Oh, there we go. You got it. There we go. Okay. You got it. Alright. Good.

2:04:24 Good.

2:04:25 Okay.

2:04:26 Alright, I'm good to go. Right, okay. So tell us about Value4Value,

2:04:30 John.

2:04:31 Well, the idea is simple.

2:04:33 We're producing this show, it's three hours, six hours a week total

2:04:37 and it has information that you can use for all kinds of purposes

2:04:42 and it also calms you down. I think it helps people,

2:04:45 make wise decisions. It keeps them on the straight and narrow.

2:04:49 And, we don't charge anything for them but we do expect that maybe if they get some sort of a benefit,

2:04:57 a benefit, any sort of benefit, it may be for their health, it may be for their relationships,

2:05:03 it may be some information that they needed to make a good investment. Who knows?

2:05:08 They could give us some

2:05:10 income

2:05:11 to keep to support this effort because we can't get the income any other way. We can't get the income by going to advertisers.

2:05:18 We could, but then the show would suck and it wouldn't have any good information.

2:05:23 But there's things we couldn't say. You couldn't you can't make it an assertion about one thing or another, like, well, like how we lost the Interactive Brokers account over there at DH Unplugged.

2:05:34 Is that because you gave bad information? How did you No. No. Because somebody somebody

2:05:38 on the show made an offhanded comment about about

2:05:43 prop bets. Oh oh, really? And they got mad and then Interactive Brokers Oh, wrote a nasty note and, you know, you shouldn't have said that.

2:05:52 The next thing you know, don't have a sponsor anymore. This is what would happen to this show

2:05:56 Oh. If we didn't get people to to pony up. Okay. Let let So just think about the the results. You won't have the show. Let let You'll have a piece of crap show like every other podcast. Let's let's look at an example. So if the big advertiser,

2:06:09 the biggest advertiser these days is Better Health

2:06:12 from the wellness company

2:06:15 and we'd be ragging on all kinds of stuff that you'd like, we just did a GLP one, we'll give you ovage.

2:06:22 Do you think that that that the the companies that sell that stuff would wanna advertise with us? No.

2:06:28 Have you heard have you heard a podcast talk about oVAG anywhere? No. Why not? And you won't hear it on the mainstream media because they've sold out. Yeah. So right that right there is a health tip

2:06:40 of epic proportion.

2:06:42 Well Especially if you're a guy. I mean, it's just Yeah. You know, if you're a guy, you're really in trouble.

2:06:49 You can support us multiple ways. You can set up a meet up. We love the boots on the ground. These are extremely valuable to the show. We also need money, so we have time, talent and treasure.

2:07:00 And we have found that throughout the ages, it's great when we have a different piece of artwork.

2:07:05 Then I'm a little surprised that after this fine piece for episode eighteen eighty one, we titled that the Cow Cartel.

2:07:13 This was a piece by Jeffrey Ria and it was the No Agenda

2:07:17 Mahjong tiles and it was an interesting piece cause you know, a lot of these Majong tiles didn't really have official Majong tile

2:07:25 shapes.

2:07:27 But I still I've gotten again only tons of emails from people saying, oh yeah,

2:07:33 Majong tiles. This is great. People pay hundreds of dollars for Mahjong tiles. Why don't we have No Agenda Mahjong tiles?

2:07:40 Because the people that play Mahjong are old women who don't listen to the show. We'll sell no Mahjong tiles.

2:07:48 Okay.

2:07:49 Well, there's your meeting. That's literally how we run the company.

2:07:53 We appreciate we appreciate you, Jeffrey. This is true. This is true. And by the way, I'm not the only one who shouts at the other guy. No. No. No. When have I when did I last shout at you? I don't shout at you ever.

2:08:06 Yeah. Didn't shout at you.

2:08:07 You did at the beginning of the show. You said I should be dead. No. What No. But I did shout at you when you had a like a a bypass. I'm like, what are you doing? You're ruining the show.

2:08:17 Yes. Of course. I should. I should.

2:08:20 Yes. So Marty, our joke writer Uh-huh.

2:08:23 Your joke writer. Let's get this straight. Your joke writer. Yes. One of my joke writers. One? Oh, you have a whole stable of them. And you have something to say about my robot. You've got joke writers. Oh, okay. Yeah. But they're humans. I come with my my own material.

2:08:38 So Marty went and had open heart surgery. He just went and had that, like like he had a a taco.

2:08:45 Well, he gets a lot of operations, but he had and I had he sent a note in, I should like to read it. Oh, yeah. Love to hear that. Is he okay? Let's just get straight to He made it through. It was last Friday and he's What did he have? Single,

2:08:58 double, triple, quadruple? No. No. It wasn't a bypass. It's valve

2:09:02 replacement or some damn thing.

2:09:04 Overhaul. Okay. Valve replacement. Now he's out

2:09:08 of of the of trouble and he's mad because of the He's mad. Service he gets at the hospital. He's mad. He didn't get good service. Oh, he's alive, isn't he? Was that not good service? Well, here we go. Let me read this. Okay. Sorry about being switched to the general ward I did two days ago or a day and a half in ICU

2:09:24 and then sent to the general ward,

2:09:26 which was a giant step downward in every way.

2:09:30 After two days of that shit, I said, get me the f out of here. There's nothing they were doing there that I couldn't do at home. And the general attitude was miserable among the underpaid staff Oh. Who are mostly pigeon England's

2:09:43 English speaking Africans

2:09:45 Oh. Doing the jobs of nurses that nurses used to do. And the nurses that seemed to be a vanishing breed spent most of their time on their on their phones giggling with friends. There's an enormous article in this for you, John, especially in Boston, where the idea of flooding low paid jobs to semi literate Africans, not black Americans, not African Americans,

2:10:07 Africans has taken hold. I give general medicine, especially in hospitals,

2:10:12 and no more than a couple of years before they would become clinics run by physician's assistants.

2:10:17 But that's already happening. Wow. Love to talk to you by phone. Thank you for both. Now, I ran into this.

2:10:24 There was a number of Africans

2:10:27 Mhmm. That you run into. Now, there was a lot of Filipino women, especially in the Bay Area, that were doing most of this work, but there were literally Africans

2:10:36 who could barely speak English and and they didn't seem competent at anything.

2:10:41 And they were in the hospital,

2:10:43 you know, doing this and that.

2:10:45 What is what is this and that?

2:10:48 They would that's what I'd like to know.

2:10:50 They come in, bumble in, and they do something. They wouldn't get anything accomplished. Somebody else would replace them and they would do what they were supposed to do. There's something fishy going on with all these Africans.

2:11:01 A lot of, you

2:11:04 know,

2:11:06 Somalis,

2:11:07 for example. Oh. They're all over the place. And they're eating the dogs.

2:11:10 They're eating well, some no. That's the Haitians. Oh, I'm sorry. This wait

2:11:15 a minute. The Somalis are ripping off Medicare right there in the hospital.

2:11:19 All I know is that his complaint is legit.

2:11:23 I I believe it.

2:11:25 You don't wanna go to the hospital.

2:11:27 No. You don't wanna go to the hospital. It's no fun. So I somebody out there can send a note in. Why where do where do all these Africans come from?

2:11:37 From Africa when there's people in America that need work. Yeah. Well, you know, what you what they'll say, well, Americans don't wanna work. Yeah. Maybe.

2:11:47 Bullcrap. Yeah. I'm I'm with you.

2:11:50 Okay. Well, I'm glad Marty's okay. Has he gotten funnier since the operation?

2:11:56 By the on basis of this note, no. No.

2:12:00 Let's

2:12:01 as as we near the

2:12:03 the July 4, the celebration of our great country,

2:12:07 we have been asking for the $2.50 donation,

2:12:11 which I think you can also do a 25. Do we do a 25 as well for the 50 or is it only $2.50? I probably should do one for the next show. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, we should read them too. If they want to, if they want us to. They have a note that you're 25. It should be it would be nice.

2:12:25 You know, it's I put a Canadian Canada Day thing in No. By the way. Response.

2:12:30 Got not one response

2:12:33 No. From any Canadian who'd like years ago, they'd say, well, thanks for recognizing

2:12:38 some things, you know. No.

2:12:40 I put, you know, it was

2:12:42 no. Not one Canadian cares.

2:12:44 So let's look at the artwork. We had Jeffrey Ria and

2:12:48 we thank you Jeffrey. There was

2:12:50 some odd ones. Of course, Darren O'Neill with boobs

2:12:54 and a mahjong tile.

2:12:56 We had I don't know if have

2:12:59 The comic strip blogger did have an interesting piece that we'd never use. It was a mahjong tile and his

2:13:05 signature butt,

2:13:07 which is kind of an but no, we're not gonna use it, but it was interesting. And then there's heads like

2:13:14 Marjorie Taylor Greene or is it Megan Kelly? I don't know. And Tucker Carlson, no, we're not gonna use that. We're not gonna show Fauci in behind bars or or John Bolton behind bars.

2:13:27 No. And then the Blue Acorn stole an idea from someone

2:13:32 with the the Statue Of Liberty pointing.

2:13:36 That that's a bit That's of from Yeah. Caitlin. The Caitlin. No.

2:13:41 It's not Caitlin. It's the

2:13:44 Cunningham. Cunningham. Yes. That's who it is. Yeah. She's getting all the attention. Yeah. Caitlin must be mad.

2:13:51 So, you know, I I see some different models being used. That's interesting. But no, I the most artistic was Jeffrey Ria. You even you even thought it was I think you said, that's interesting.

2:14:02 Didn't you say that? That's interesting. I like the piece a lot. Yeah. That's good. I thought it was artistic.

2:14:08 Yes. Artistic.

2:16:41 Yes.

2:16:42 Yes. You have have the note. Yes. I can make noise with it. Yeah.

2:16:46 In the morning, Jensen, the picture of John holding this stuffed heart pillow

2:16:50 reminds me of my father's cardiac surgery twenty five years ago. He was sitting in the waiting room while my grandmother was seeing a cardiologist.

2:16:57 Bored, he picked up a brochure about the signs and symptoms of cardiac disease,

2:17:01 realizing he had all of them.

2:17:05 No. While in the office, he decided to see a cardiologist himself,

2:17:09 a quadruple bypass later. Wow. He's still enjoying life. John, I'm happy to see you escape the clutches of father time. I bumped up my donation in honor of my father, so he came with 444Dot44.

2:17:21 Nice. Dan Kretchman, he loves the show, but he can't figure out how to use the podcast app.

2:17:27 Well, no. That's we we tried to make that Well, show him. Yeah. Yeah. Have him call me. I'll I'll show him. No. Not you. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'll do a Zoom call. Jason? I'll do a Zoom. We should do an instruction. Jason, just show him. Yeah. Help him out, Jason.

2:17:42 Adam, I have returned to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. It's been nice hearing you speak of him. I treasure both of you trying to make sense of the world and current events. But I'm now thoroughly convinced only one man knows the Apollo program broke through the firmament,

2:17:57 who shot JFK,

2:17:58 and how a terrorist passport was found intact in the rubble of 911.

2:18:03 So

2:18:04 I think Jesus is the only one who knows that. Is that what he's saying here? I don't know what he's saying. I think that's what he's saying. Maybe he knows. Yeah. And lastly, thank you, to every podcast listener or No Agenda listener who donates their time, talent, and treasure to the best podcast universe.

2:18:19 You are valued by this humble listener. Four more years. Can I get massive dumps?

2:18:25 Shut up. It's science and a goat karma jingle.

2:18:30 Kretchman of the White sir Jason. Sir Kretchman of the Whitewater Valley.

2:18:36 They did dumps.

2:18:38 They call them dumps, big massive dumps. But anyway, that was just my little Oh, wow. Hold on a second. That's not the right. We haven't done this doctor Kiki

2:18:46 and

2:18:47 I'm

2:18:49 sorry. Well, what

2:19:17 What is worth it?

2:19:20 And and and I click this one and it's the wrong one.

2:19:23 But anyway, that I see that's the wrong one.

2:19:26 Well, this is a problem. What is this one? Probably under shut up. No. No. It I know it has doctor Kiki in the in the in the title.

2:19:37 Okay.

2:19:39 Maybe just Kiki.

2:19:40 Yeah. That's what I'm doing. Have Kiki. Alright. Shut up science.

2:19:59 Freakishly organized.

2:20:01 Well, this is this is what makes me nuts

2:20:04 because I have this one. What has science done for you lately?

2:20:10 Right. And then I have this is doctor Kiki's science. But anyway, that was just my little

2:20:15 Shout out, Marty. It's just this is science. This is Okay. There you go. It's only have a piece of it. Something's very wrong here. I'm gonna have to look into that. Here's your goat karma though. I know where to find that every single time. You've got

2:20:28 karma. Sorry about that.

2:30:33 the unanimous declaration of the 13 United States Of America, when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

2:30:58 We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

2:38:10 president.

2:38:11 Really? Presidents? You have more presidents?

2:38:15 You know I have a drone outside the house.

2:38:18 Don't fly.

2:38:20 Really? Is it at, like, eye level?

2:38:23 It's about

2:38:25 I it's about three blocks over Oh, so it's not looking through your window or anything? No. No. It's not, like, right out the window, but but there it's hard to tell. It it's interesting to see this thing because it's like, what's it doing there? A, and it's up pretty high Mhmm. Because I'm about 400 feet is that at least that high. And

2:38:47 it's it's it's it's annoying. Well, this is riveting boots on the ground. A drone. Sorry. It has a drone. Yes. Yeah. I have two. Yeah. Well, the presidents. You have presidents. Okay. Yeah. And I I see that what you've you've gotten into this thing now

2:39:00 where you'll reply to someone's post. Your your engagement farming is what you're doing. You reply to someone's post on And this is bad?

2:39:09 It's it's kind of Yeah. It annoys you. I know that. It's kind of

2:39:15 Let's go with Trump. I would like to know if anyone has started listening to the show because of if you're here because John posted

2:39:23 a president saying listen to the No Agenda show, please let me know. If I had known that No Agenda was this good, I would given them Secret Service protection.

2:39:33 Not

2:39:34 bad.

2:39:35 It's a little long, but it's not bad. Okay.

2:39:39 It was a little yeah. And then we got Obama. Far as I'm concerned, the No Agenda podcast is the best in the universe.

2:39:47 Yeah. I think Trump is better than the Obama one. Let me hear it again. Let me check this. If I had known that No Agenda was this good, I would given them secret service protection. It's long though, but it's possible. Let me see if I have something better.

2:40:01 O k.

2:40:03 No. Always go to the well. Oh, man. That's pretty tight. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Or Copy. Good work you two.

2:40:11 Uh-huh. From the International Space Station. I couldn't understand it. Oh, it's fine. How about this one? Don't let your friends play with commies. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I

2:40:20 like it, but no. Okay. So we're gonna go with If I had known that No Agenda was this good, I would given them secret service protection. Well, before we even let the president say that, it is time for John's tip of the day.

2:40:44 Now the drone's gone.

2:40:45 Okay.

2:40:47 We got an interesting tip. This kind of reflects some elements of the show. Mhmm. And it's something I've it's not not a bad idea. This is the Magriffin,

2:40:57 m a g r I f f I n, which is the Amazon choice, by the way.

2:41:04 RFID

2:41:05 blocking card.

2:41:08 Okay.

2:41:10 Now this card, you get did you get three of them for $15?

2:41:14 Mhmm.

2:41:15 So you can use them here and there. And it's a it's a it's a credit card sized card with that's super thin.

2:41:23 It has RFID circuitry in it that will blow out anybody that tries to,

2:41:27 steal your you know, tries

2:41:29 to

2:41:31 capture your RFID

2:41:33 information

2:41:34 and then use it.

2:41:36 Do we know if if anyone's really successfully done this with RFID? I think I think there's evidence that people have successfully done this. But it's nice to have it anyway. And it also will block it it it'll block for four inches

2:41:51 either way from where the card is, so it'll it'll block an entire wallet,

2:41:55 and it will also block a passport

2:41:58 Oh. To the same RFID frequency the passport uses.

2:42:03 Uh-huh. It's interesting.

2:42:05 So you put it in your wallet or your purse. Now do you put it on the bottom or the top or does it not matter?

2:42:12 It well, if it's if it's in a wallet, it should be in the middle somewhere so it blocks everything. Mhmm.

2:42:17 And the

2:42:18 people who sell these things, and there's about 20 companies that sell them, and they range they can be as expensive as $35.

2:42:25 Oh, that seems too But they tell they say that

2:42:30 wallets that have the protective

2:42:32 shields inside

2:42:34 fail, they don't work all the time, you can check them out. This this card supposedly is the way to go because it's got electronics in it. Wasn't Sir Gene selling something like this at some point? He was selling Not that I know of. The EMP proof thing or something. Well, yeah. That was a a Faraday cage. You can buy little she sheaths

2:42:55 to stick cards and then that works. How about cash? But this is different. How about just using cash? They can't they they can't lift your cash. Just use cash.

2:43:03 Cash is the way to go.

2:43:06 I'm not gonna argue with that, but people do have credit cards. There it is everybody. There's the one and only John C. Dvorak's tip of the day. Go find them all at tipoftheday.net.

2:43:15 Created fast for you and me.
