Orgy of Socialism

0:00 It's delicious.

0:01 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, 07/05/2026.

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

0:14 Still

0:14 No Baby.

0:16 But we're broadcasting live from Museum Square here in the heart of Amsterdam, The Netherlands in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

0:23 And from Northern Silicon Valley where I can tell you that on behalf of public

0:27 broadcasting, and in case you didn't know, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning.

0:36 Yes. It was it's a it's a scandal, I tell you. A scandal. Scandal.

0:41 Oh, boy. Hey, John. I'm still here in the socialist slash communist country of The Netherlands.

0:48 And And how you doing there? You know,

0:52 there's a couple problems here.

0:55 And first of we had a really nice reunion with the family. It was great.

0:59 It's nice to see everybody.

1:02 Half of my nephews are socialists

1:05 and they say it.

1:07 I say I say, but Do they greet each other with comrade?

1:11 Uncle Adam, I'm a socialist. See, that's why you're poor. Yes. That's true.

1:17 No. They are very angry and they are angry at two things. The main things they're angry about since you asked is hydration breaks.

1:27 Yeah. I can see that. They they you're taking the the entire energy out of the game.

1:33 Say, yeah, but, you know, this is this is you gotta you gotta live with it. This is how we're going to make soccer bigger. We don't need football,

1:41 football,

1:42 football, not soccer, football

1:44 to be bigger. So okay.

1:47 Are you mad because you're out of the game and America's still in it? Is that is that the problem here?

1:52 No. That

1:53 would be an issue. That's

1:55 a sore spot. I don't know why you'd say that. So

2:00 talking to my brother-in-law

2:02 and

2:04 he he runs

2:06 a pretty big section of a publisher

2:08 of magazines,

2:10 which is obviously I think one of them is still print,

2:14 but the rest are

2:16 online.

2:17 And in fact, the, you know, the largest magazine in the eighties and nineties when I was here was Veronica Magazine. That was the magazine of the Veronica Broadcast Corporation that I was a part of where I started my career.

2:31 And that magazine had

2:33 over a million subscribers

2:35 in the nineties.

2:37 How many people do you think still subscribe

2:40 digitally

2:41 digitally

2:42 to the magazine?

2:43 Couple 100,090.

2:46 And it's still one of the biggest publications

2:49 here in the country.

2:51 And he says, oh man.

2:54 Now he's not a socialist. He is he is very

2:59 pro Trump conservative

3:00 which is an anomaly which is nice. Although an anomaly for someone to be so open about it.

3:07 He says, oh man.

3:08 Because they they also own a number of the the big newspapers

3:13 in the country.

3:14 Says the the journalists and the management literally come to work

3:19 with Palestinian

3:20 flags and kiffiers.

3:23 Oh,

3:24 brother.

3:25 He

3:27 says, we're lost. He says, we're lost. We're lost. But then it was interesting

3:33 because he says, you know,

3:35 but it's obvious that, you know, Putin's Putin's in trouble now. I said, what? Oh, yeah. No. Putin is clearly he's in trouble now with, know, they're losing terrain and Ukraine is winning. I said, bro, is that what they're writing?

3:49 Because I'm not so sure about that.

3:54 So that was good.

3:56 And then

3:57 we had a great Uber driver

3:59 and

4:00 and so he's in a Tesla of course because you can't drive a gasoline powered car in Amsterdam anymore. It has to be electric.

4:08 And we're chatting and

4:11 he's like, oh, you're from from America? Are you from Texas? And this young guy, you're from Texas? Oh, yeah. Oh, you like

4:17 you got lots of guns. Yeah. Yeah. Tina is the first one. Oh, yeah. I I like my guns. You know, okay. So he kinda sets the tone.

4:24 And he's like, oh, you you have Tesla there? I said, no, I'm not a big fan of Tesla. But it's American, it's Elon. Said, no, I don't like it. You're right. Battery car sucks. I hate it. That suck it sucks. But we have to drive it. And he goes on and on like this.

4:37 And then he's like, okay, wanna ask you a question. Please don't be offended.

4:43 He's like a Turkish Dutchman, he has a bit of a Turkish accent. Don't be offended That's what you're doing? That's what you're trying to do there? I'm doing I I'm and believe me, I'm nailing was wondering what the hell it was. I'm nailing it.

4:56 I'm glad you gave you if you clarified that help. I to clarify that. Yes. He says, okay. I I don't want you to be upset. It's just I I have a question. Let me guess. Is this about Trump? Yes. Did you have voted for him? I said, yeah, we voted for him. I'm just like, we'll just go all out. Yeah, we voted for him. We love him.

5:16 Yeah. But most Americans, if I ask them, they say, oh, I don't wanna talk about it. We don't talk about who I voted for. I said, oh, that means they voted for Trump, they're afraid to say it. He said, oh, no, no. And he's like, oh, so Trump, Yeah.

5:31 He's like, you know,

5:32 I'm 30 years old

5:34 and

5:36 there's no housing.

5:37 I still live with my parents. He said, can't get a house because our government gives it to the immigrants.

5:43 I understand.

5:45 They have a horrible country, they need a safe place to come to, they need a safe place to live, this comrade.

5:52 I I understand but they give them house, they give them money, they give them car, they give them everything

5:58 and I am living with my parents. I said, well, there you go. Yes. We need someone like Trump here. Every single time. Every single time.

6:06 They all think it's great and then they're like, oh, you know, we really need someone like Trump here. So this it's a everyone's

6:14 oppressed here. They're they're they're Oppressed.

6:17 They are. They're beaten down. They and you know, the guys I don't vote anymore. Why not? Because it doesn't make any difference.

6:23 It says they're just there to to pretend. It just says sell me a story but they never it never changes. Doesn't You vote right, you vote left, doesn't make any difference.

6:32 So it's kinda sad to see it.

6:36 And I think, wow, wow, we have such a great country. We got our problems.

6:40 We Well,

6:42 you missed the big show. Well, I I tuned into as much as possible.

6:46 Well, can I explain a little bit what happened? Yes, please. Please get in the First of all, Trump

6:52 is

6:53 does is a showman and this show was and he had to do the show because he had all these veterans and old men and everybody coming up there, and he had to put on a spectacle

7:04 by setting all kinds of records,

7:07 in the biggest ever Yeah. 375,000

7:10 till they got struck by lightning and had to move out. This this is on the mall, right, not the Yeah. And then they came back. Mhmm. Most people came back and there still was a big audience. But what was interesting was

7:21 was Trump's speech was pretty good.

7:24 It wasn't funny, really,

7:26 but it was it was it was it was a good speech.

7:30 But it was this

7:31 show.

7:33 Mhmm. And it was the 850,000

7:36 851,000

7:38 shells

7:39 circling the the whole place

7:42 that went on for thirty eight minutes. And then lightning came or thunder came back and started raining and washed the the crap out of the air, which was an interesting Nice. Phenomenon.

7:53 Yeah. But it was this band.

7:56 This guy and you no one credited him. I'll tell you who it is. Colonel Scott Mackenzie

8:02 who who heads up the army band. Yeah. They put together a and I've looked up tried to get the details on this, and I can't get any numbers other than

8:13 300

8:14 to 350

8:16 piece

8:17 orchestra.

8:18 No way.

8:20 That's Look it up. Oh, that's I did not see any of that. Oh, I'm sad about that. A joint it was a joint band where he picked from the best of the best of all the best musicians in all the armed forces. Oh, must have been great. Put this tremendous

8:35 it was essentially a a

8:37 just for

8:38 just for comparison's sake, a a symphony orchestra like San Francisco is 105 people. Right.

8:45 This was like a symphony with a thousand saxophones.

8:49 Oh, awesome. And he had he was a sax this guy's a saxophonist himself.

8:54 And

8:55 these arrangements, they did cover songs of Chicago

8:59 and Journey

9:01 and Oh, wow. All these all these This

9:05 and they were just so well arranged, and you can tell they obviously had this segment, this orchestra,

9:11 so, you know, some part of it would play a rock or this a raucous

9:16 tune with a lot of guitars and there'd be this saxophone stuff. Mhmm. And they had these four singers

9:22 which were all and I

9:24 they were dressed in military the dumpiest,

9:27 frumpiest military uniforms.

9:30 Three I think there's three women and one bald guy. Oh, no. And they were terrific singers. But they didn't have cool uniforms? Come out, what, in uniforms. Yeah. But but not cool uniforms. They had frumpy forms. No. No. They're just to just to dress whites. Well, okay. Yeah. So they was frumpy looking. Frumpy forms. It was it

9:48 was funny. There's no Shakira, let's put it that way.

9:51 It was just straight up and it was something charming about it because you had this big military band which you couldn't do this is the word Trump understands the power of big government.

10:03 You can put together a 300 piece orchestra

10:06 if it's government. Yeah. Exactly.

10:09 You can afford to do it. You can afford to do it because it doesn't cost anything really,

10:14 but you can't do that in the private sector. So he went all the way with this and it was like

10:22 just fabulous.

10:24 And and but, you know, nobody credited this unbelievable

10:27 band.

10:28 But

10:30 just to to compare it to what we could expect, I have a couple of clips. Okay. That might give us some insight of what was going on. First of all, the firework

10:41 to play this clip,

10:43 NPR had to find some way to to throw a wet blanket Of on course. Before Eddie Of course. It sucked. There's no good orange man. Now they made it sound like it's gonna be, you know, they actually were pretty objective about it to the very end. Listen to this report, fireworks in DC.

10:58 And and just quickly, Jeff, the fourth of July in DC isn't complete without fireworks. I gather this one tonight will be big and then some. Yeah. This is going to be huge.

11:08 850,000

11:09 fireworks for a roughly forty minute show according to the Washington Post. That's absolutely massive compared to as you know the quite extensive fireworks

11:18 DC has on every fourth of July. According to the Post, it could cause air quality issues actually. Air quality was already very unhealthy and people with respiratory issues may need to stay inside or wear masks. You you might die.

11:32 Whoo. You worked on it. Nice.

11:36 So just by comparison,

11:37 the San Francisco

11:40 this yeah. Yeah. It's like yeah. Wasn't climate change. It was air air pollution. Yeah. So San Francisco by comparison,

11:47 they had they they lit up the Golden Gate Bridge. It was not by anybody. Didn't they set it on fire? Oh, that was the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm sorry. The Well, they did there was the local the local exhibit, which was a bigger show than usual. Yeah. With 5,000

12:00 shells.

12:02 Wow. That's a big show. Yeah.

12:05 So 851

12:07 That's is crazy. That's crazy.

12:09 Yeah. Again, this is Trump. Let's go, man. Murder.

12:14 Set the

12:16 Guinness Book of World Records for fireworks

12:18 display.

12:20 Biggest ever. Yeah. I saw all the flybys cause that was in the afternoon. Oh, flybys. Yeah. It was as It like,

12:29 is amazing. What is going on here?

12:31 Yeah. Of course, I couldn't watch anything on YouTube TV

12:35 because, oh, you're in a different country.

12:38 I'm like, I'll get you. I'm gonna turn off my my GPS. I'm gonna turn I got my VPN

12:44 routed through my home computer.

12:47 You're in a different country. You can't watch it.

12:50 So I had to get some like C SPAN streaming on YouTube.

12:55 No YouTube TV. Nice. C SPAN. Yeah. It was really sad. Fox had the best present. Yeah. Yeah. But they don't they don't not all of them were streaming live on YouTube. So you had to kinda hunt around and then you get the RBTV,

13:08 which is that outfit that always follows Trump everywhere.

13:11 Oh, yeah. Yeah. I haven't seen them for a while. Tune in and right away. So you're from California. How bad does that suck? I'm like, okay, man. This is fourth of July. Stop with that. That was too much.

13:23 Alright. So what else you got? Did I you have fireworks on Facebook? What is that? This is an interesting this is a local story

13:31 because locally

13:32 we had essentially, it was fogged in and all the best fireworks displays are just some guy in his backyard.

13:39 Yeah. Always It's

13:43 always a winner. Yeah. Yeah.

13:46 I'm sure in Texas it'd be a little more spectacular than what we get. But

13:51 they're trying to crack down with huge fines and everything in between and so when I was a kid- Oh, here we go. We used to

14:00 buy fireworks from the various Chinese

14:03 grocery stores in Oakland.

14:06 You'd or San Francisco too. You'd go there and you'd have code words and the next thing you know the guy would bring out a bunch of stuff.

14:14 Well now it turns out that they're selling the fireworks over Facebook.

14:18 And this is a local story that I thought was kind of interesting. It's almost the fourth of July. And though fireworks are illegal in the vast majority of the Bay Area, you've probably already heard or seen some in your neighborhood. So where are all those fireworks coming from? Reporter Darwin Bond Graham with the Oakland side looked into it, and he joins me now for more.

14:38 So you start your story that was published this week with an example of a recent Oakland police raid that had a bunch of illegal fireworks. Tell us about what happened there and how that connects to the trends you're finding in your reporting. Yeah. This was a case of a person who was dealing a large quantity of fireworks

14:56 out of their home in East Oakland. They were advertising them over social media, and that's how the police kinda caught on to this.

15:04 When they ended up conducting a search warrant at this person's house, they found over 2,000 pounds of fireworks in the backyard, a very large quantity for a residential neighborhood. It sounds like social media has made it even easier for fireworks sellers to find buyers.

15:19 Is there any way for police to keep up with those ads? Yeah. That's right. It's like the main way that a lot of the sellers appear to be marketing these products is over Facebook and Instagram and other social media. Shut it down. They post these kind of cryptic pictures of fireworks,

15:36 and then they get into these DMs with people who wanna buy them. And then they'll, you know, meet people in a parking lot or have them come to their house or, you know, somewhere else to sell them. The police are actively

15:47 scanning social media. So there's a lot of sheriff's deputies and officers from different police departments who are looking on Instagram and kinda lurking around and seeing what they can find. And that's how they're getting a lot of their leads here to figure out who these people are. Yeah. Well, of course. Yeah. Right. They're doom scrolling, and this is what their excuse is.

16:09 I'm looking for illegal activity, man. I found something. Oh, yeah. Well, there were actually, I I caught this I I got some clips from Miz now who really they should just shut that operation down.

16:23 Is It's getting worse. Douglas Brinkley, he's a historian

16:27 I think, isn't he Brinkley? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So he

16:31 noticed,

16:32 you need to be a historian,

16:34 that there were really

16:36 two different Americas and two different speeches from two different

16:40 luminaries this fourth of July. Well, they were two very different speeches. Both were playing with the idea of American exceptionalism.

16:48 Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore

16:50 was talking about we're exceptional,

16:52 and now we've gotta drive the communist out of the country,

16:56 basically re stoking a red scare,

16:59 something the kind of speech Joe McCarthy would have easily given.

17:04 Mundamy is reflecting back on Question.

17:08 Did McCarthy really give big speeches about the commies, or was he just the guy who had the commission who was going after him? Did he do big speeches about it?

17:17 He was front and center to

17:21 diatribes,

17:22 let's put it that way. I don't I wouldn't call him big speeches. Okay. Ellis Island and the tradition in New York of becoming a naturalized

17:30 citizen. He's born in Uganda.

17:32 When asked, he says, I can't have presidential ambitions.

17:36 The constitution says I can't because I was born in Uganda. And here it is July 4. Alexander Hamilton, one of the greats of the revolutionary war era, had the same issue. He served his country in every way possible to George Washington,

17:51 and as we know his role in the constitution and the federalist papers and the like, but he could never run for president. But they're a naturalized citizen,

18:00 Mundamy was talking about, and it reminds us that we keep refreshing ourselves in this country, having new waves of immigrants, and that's that is accept that is the American dream, and that is what makes America

18:13 exceptional.

18:14 Yeah. There was a lot of this refreshing talk everywhere. So I kind of like what he did here. Trump is like McCarthy,

18:20 and Mundamy is like Hamilton. I mean, it's so obvious. Yeah.

18:24 In fact, I have a month we we Oh, I I have the Mondami clips.

18:29 I have them.

18:30 Do you do you have this one?

18:32 Well, let me do Trump first. These are these are relatively short.

18:36 This is from the mall. At two hundred and fifty years, America is the oldest republic on earth. We are the I'm sorry. This is from Mount Rushmore. The freest people on earth. We have By the most the way, just since you didn't hear both of them. I did. I I have the other ones too. Oh, okay. The other one I thought was a little more

18:57 it was a little less disorganized.

19:00 I thought it was okay here. I mean, was yeah. Was It okay. It was okay. I choose an enduring constitution

19:06 on earth.

19:07 We are the strongest and most powerful country on earth.

19:11 And by the grace of God, The United States Of America is the most successful,

19:16 most accomplished,

19:17 most exceptional nation

19:19 ever to exist in human history,

19:23 and it is great to be your president.

19:29 It is great.

19:31 And then this is the

19:33 the the

19:34 communist

19:35 trope. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot.

19:45 You cannot be both. As for those who

19:48 pedal Marxist lies about our heritage, who tell our children that we live on stolen land

19:55 or that our heroes were oppressors,

19:58 they're doing something much worse than slandering our past.

20:01 They are slandering and attacking our future. Not gonna let that happen. Not gonna do it. I'll do two more from the mall, and then I'll you'll play them on dummy. This country is the home of freedom. This is the land of liberty,

20:16 and this is a flag that's the banner of the most extraordinary,

20:21 most exceptional,

20:22 most incredible nation

20:24 ever to exist on the face of the earth, and we're doing better now than we've ever done before.

20:34 No people have done more good,

20:37 shown more courage,

20:38 made more progress, righted more injustice,

20:41 or achieved more greatness than you, the American people. For

20:46 two hundred and fifty years, The United States Of America has been the hope,

20:52 the promise, the light,

20:54 and the glory among all of the nations of the world. All over the world, they try and be like us. Nobody can be like us. That's he's a he's a rebel rouser. We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great.

21:07 Our cause was just. Our people are brave.

21:10 Our culture is exceptional, exceptional,

21:13 and and our our destiny destiny is is written written by by God. God.

21:20 As we can see here tonight, after two hundred and fifty years, the spirit of 1776

21:27 still lives within us all.

21:30 It still roars in the hearts of our nation's capital. It still burns in the heart of every patriot,

21:37 thunders through every city and town, and it still lights the entire world with the glow of American

21:43 liberty, and there is nothing like that.

21:47 At two hundred and fifty years old,

21:49 may be the oldest constitutional

21:51 republic on earth, but our country is just getting started

21:56 because the best is yet to come. There you go. And it's kind of, you know, when you hear like, we're the oldest, we've done this, and I look in the at the cobblestones on the streets here in Amsterdam, some of them are older than America.

22:09 This is unbelievable.

22:10 We're not a very old country. 250

22:12 is pretty No. We're just getting started. The Roman Empire went for a long long We're just There you go, John. We're just getting started. The best is yet to come.

22:20 And in fact, well, not to just jump the gun on this,

22:25 but

22:26 it it

22:28 has led I mean, all these two hundred fifty years of American exceptionalism,

22:33 American exceptionalism,

22:35 it it has led,

22:37 thanks to the education system,

22:40 to this clip which is to whatever girl's nine.

22:44 What country did The United States gain its independence? This is not fair. Europe.

22:49 I can't. Who was the first president of The USA?

22:52 Oh. Oh. Oh.

22:55 He had a top hat. Yeah.

22:59 They always say Lincoln. What's his what's his name? What's his name?

23:02 Abraham Lincoln. Okay. What what do you think? Yeah. Lincoln.

23:06 I I think it's Lincoln too. They're going that top hat. Lincoln? What country

23:24 Twelve. How many are in a century?

23:26 500.

23:29 star to Earth?

23:32 Okay. Relax,

23:33 Fido. What the

23:35 The North Star. The sun. Oh, the sun. Joe. The lone star. What country is the Panama Canal in? Portugal.

23:45 Okay. And you're not allowed to do this this

23:47 you are jumping the gun. You're like making us You know, funny thing is is when the one girl asked answer what's the closest star, she says the sun,

23:56 which is. It is true. Is correct. And the and two or three of the other girls mocked her for being an idiot.

24:04 Well, this is this is part of the genius of America. That even if you have clearly

24:10 only

24:11 four or five functioning brain cells, you can still make a living on OnlyFans.

24:17 So we're a great country. What are you what are you complaining about? This is great not news. Complaining. I think this is great. I agree with you a 100%. Okay. Alright. We Okay. Let's get back to the

24:26 jobs program for everybody here.

24:29 We have we have you you you have a Mandami clip? I have a couple. A Mandani? Yeah. I have a couple of bunch. A couple of just shorties that, that I pulled out.

24:39 I I let let's play mine first. It's Okay. It may may set the stage. Alright. Hey, guys. It's your mayor. Call me mom done. Since we're communists and we don't have electricity for everyone except for ourselves, we would really appreciate it if you can go ahead and set your AC to a special mode called off mode. Also, it would be great if you could also stop eating because we don't have food for everyone. So if you're fat, please eat once every other day. If you're kinda fat, you can eat once a day. And if you're skinny, you're probably white, you don't get to eat anything. If you have any pets, please bring them in to City Hall so we can feed our Haitian immigrants. Well, I'm off to enjoy Taylor Swift's wedding. So later comrades.

25:18 Programmatically,

25:19 I think you made a mistake by playing two nutball clips back to back. It's okay. It's okay. I know it's like one comic following another. Programmatically,

25:28 I wouldn't have advised that, but

25:30 some of the real clips from his his fourth of July That wasn't real? No. We are told that America is exceptional

25:37 because we are richer,

25:39 stronger,

25:40 more powerful than everyone else.

25:43 The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here,

25:47 nothing is fixed into place.

25:49 The frontier may be closed.

25:51 We may have walked on the moon,

25:53 but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the declaration of independence,

25:57 that work endures,

25:59 and it belongs to us all. It belongs too to our newest Americans,

26:03 those standing here with me today,

26:05 all of whom were recently naturalized.

26:07 Nearly a decade ago,

26:09 I too felt what you feel. The joy of no longer being just a New Yorker,

26:13 but an American too. Okay. So he starts off reasonably okay. You each hold a special power. Well, hold on. Reasonably okay. He's stiff?

26:22 This is the worst speech he could have done. He's he was not relaxed. He's behind the George Washington desk, I guess. Oh, really? No.

26:32 And and he has a bunch of stiffs standing around him that don't look like they're very comfortable or know what the hell they're even doing there.

26:40 It was terrible. No. It it it wasn't great. It wasn't very energetic. But, you know, he only got a little commie later. You each hold a special power.

26:50 The power to determine what America means. See, this is this is like, what do you mean? What what are we going where are we going with this? The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy. The powerful.

27:05 Supremacy,

27:06 whitey. Where only a select few are allowed freedom.

27:09 Where not all are created equal. I mean, this this is going downhill pretty quick. America, if you ask It that deteriorates

27:17 very fast. Yeah. I mean, because gee, man. Come on. White supremacy, we were not created equal. Okay. There you go. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. What

27:29 is where does he get this from?

27:32 America,

27:34 they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin.

27:38 The rest of us Nobody says this?

27:41 But this is this is this is what he's doing. This is I found this to be quite

27:47 un American, actually.

27:49 The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

27:53 How small they are. How weak.

27:56 How unoriginal.

27:57 You're small and weak. Alright. What's original?

28:01 Unoriginal. What do we see?

28:03 We see a city of contradictions

28:05 within a nation of contradictions.

28:08 We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. Swipe

28:18 it, Elon.

28:19 We see monopolies

28:20 that dominate every industry

28:22 and oligarchs

28:23 who buy elections.

28:25 We see masked agents terrorizing Yeah. Our

28:27 Oh, no. Oligarchs. No. Listen. This this is know, the oligarch thing was was all every consultant on the democrat side Said don't do that. Tells them to stop using that word. Mhmm.

28:39 It doesn't mean anything, and nobody knows what the hell you're talking oil. They really don't know. We see monopolies

28:45 that dominate every industry

28:47 and oligarchs

28:48 who buy elections.

28:50 Yeah. Who dominates podcasting?

28:52 We see masked agents terrorizing our streets,

28:55 eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. This is the one I thought was the best. So That was funny. So the

29:04 so the agents So you go, hey. Can you cook me something before I take you away?

29:09 We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt street hands,

29:14 those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone.

29:18 We see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few. Again, with the soft hands, because they don't work so this, you know, just soft hands, like a podcaster's soft hands. Alright. Last one. There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain.

29:36 Love it or leave it, they say.

29:38 But patriotism

29:39 has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws.

29:43 Patriotism

29:44 is every act of righteous descent. It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time.

29:52 It is precisely

29:53 because we love this nation that we will not leave it. After all, who loves America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free? No. Well, so fine.

30:04 But there was a lot of this a

30:06 lot of this talk everywhere of,

30:09 you know,

30:10 it's our turn now. We're gonna change it, which is very much the the DSA

30:15 way, the Marxist way, you know, like whatever the the the candidate now in New York, like we're we're gonna get rid of the presidency, we'll just have a like a

30:24 steering committee

30:26 all these Steering other committee. Exactly.

30:29 This is Cherilyn Eiffel,

30:31 who is Gwen. We love Gwen Eiffel. In hindsight, we never gave her enough props

30:37 because when she left was

30:39 it PBS?

30:41 It was a yeah. Was a NewsHour. Yeah. NewsHour. Once she left, news hour just fell apart. It turns out she was the one holding it together. Yeah. You you don't you don't know until somebody one cog leaves, the next thing you know, the place falls apart you didn't know at the time. When we say leave, she died.

30:57 So this is your niece, and listen to this. And so I remind people that we were founded a second time.

31:04 We will need to be founded a third time, and it's on us.

31:08 And

31:09 that's the exciting part. We we get to be

31:12 the founders

31:14 and the framers of the new iteration of American democracy. What? If if we're willing to do it.

31:21 There's nothing that stops us from doing it.

31:25 And so that's the opportunity of this moment. We hit two fifty and and then we needed to restart again.

31:30 And and so that's the work that is before us.

31:34 Cherilyn Eiffel is the former president of the Legal Defense Fund. She is now at Howard University Law School. Yeah. Yes. We need more lawyers like that.

31:43 So so I I

31:45 remember

31:46 now I have I was young of course, 1976,

31:49 so I was 12 years old. I remember our bicentennial.

31:52 I have only fond memories of it.

31:55 And I found a video

31:59 of man on the street

32:01 being asked Oh, yes. This is good. Yeah. And and so I I I split it up into two parts and we don't have to play the positive one, but the negative one

32:10 so this is just all the people. It it sounds the same. Our our

32:15 negativity that we have elements of severe negativity in America,

32:20 they have the same complaints.

32:22 So Yeah. And then I should remind people that this seven nineteen seventy six,

32:26 which I recall.

32:28 We were there. I was in the middle of working for the air pollution district.

32:33 There was the it was just Watergate was wrapping up, and Nixon was a terrible person. We're ready to go into the Jimmy Carter era.

32:41 We're right in the middle of what was the equivalent of the great depression of the thirties with interest rates

32:48 at 20%.

32:50 Yeah.

32:51 Yeah. And and unemployment super high,

32:55 that's when the idea of stagflation

32:59 Mhmm. Was peaking

33:00 right about the the time of the

33:03 of the

33:04 bicentennial.

33:05 Funny enough. So it was not a good time.

33:08 And didn't we didn't we just have the energy crisis too?

33:12 The exactly.

33:13 Yep. The energy crisis just wrapped.

33:15 OPEC was now, you know, telling everybody what to do. Right. Yeah. It was not the timing was it it was to me, I'm surprised anyone had anything good to say. Nixon had taken all our gold,

33:28 the dollar was in free floating currency

33:32 that happened a few years earlier.

33:34 Funny enough, in this archival footage,

33:37 people weren't really complaining about that too much. They had, you know, the the same typical complaints. Right now we don't have a great deal to celebrate.

33:45 I

33:46 feel that it might leave a lot of people out. For me, it doesn't have any real significant

33:52 meaning. I mean, what's the difference between a hundred and ninety nine years or two hundred and one years? It's

33:57 I don't really have any particular feel about two hundred years.

34:01 Somehow, I feel that it's like a big fad.

34:04 You know, the bicentennial's been kind of a dirty word here in Philadelphia and throughout the country, I think.

34:10 In many ways, the bicentennial is just being fabricated.

34:13 This country is faced with so many problems,

34:16 I just can't stand aside and say hip hip hooray for the bicentennial.

34:20 Well after Watergate, the

34:22 morale of the country is low. I'm concerned that

34:26 the bicentennial

34:27 is

34:29 still saying things

34:31 were okay ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, but I don't know if they're okay now.

34:35 At this point, in this day,

34:38 I really don't see any advantage of the bicentennial.

34:41 If

34:42 at the time of the bicentennial,

34:44 we still have, you know, 8% unemployment. 8%,

34:47 John.

34:49 April we have what is it? 3.4%

34:51 right now, unemployment? Around four. According to the numbers,

34:55 those numbers may have changed.

34:57 I can't see any reason

34:59 to go around patting ourselves in the back for having just survived two centuries.

35:03 There's a lot of divisions here in The United States.

35:07 Used to be called the melting pot.

35:09 I don't know what's happening here, you know. Maybe the compounds are beginning to separate again, and the people in The United States are diverging again. So We're endorsing the Declaration of Independence on 07/04/1976,

35:20 but you know what? An Associated Press has done a study

35:23 in Miami where they gave out the Declaration of Independence and didn't say what it was and asked people if they would endorse it. Only one person out of 50 on a Miami street corner would endorse the declaration. You know what they said why they wouldn't endorse it? This is commie junk, the work of a raver.

35:39 I'm gonna tell the FBI about this kind of stuff. See, your whatever girls have no have no hold, lock on idiocy. We've always been dumb.

35:48 So these are the kinds of problems that we face. We have strayed so far from the original

35:53 conception of what patriotism and love of country is that we now believe that everything

35:59 that this country stood for is subversive.

36:01 No one wears American flag lapel pins anymore. Have you noticed? People have lost faith. People don't know what patriotism is anymore.

36:09 I think maybe the best thing for this country is 1975

36:12 being international women's year, even more than 1976

36:15 being bicentennial,

36:16 you know, because

36:17 I think maybe women should have a larger say in really what happens in this world, our our basic loving

36:25 tendencies, you know, rather than let's beat each other's heads in to get get what we want. You know, let's love each other. Let's, you know, let's not kill each other. I think we've done already enough, enough

36:35 buildings,

36:36 enough covering

36:37 the earth with concrete. It's your climate dude.

36:41 And destroyed enough of nature already that maybe progress is regress.

36:46 I'd like to see the bicentennial deal with the kind of future I think we're gonna have, and I think it's gonna be a troubled future. We are not necessarily

36:55 the greatest people that ever existed on this earth. Yeah.

37:00 We've broken

37:03 down.

37:04 We have to rebuild.

37:06 No. We're gonna rebuild on on the basis of adversity,

37:11 whether you like it or not. Are we gonna have more and more of everything?

37:17 No.

37:18 For a long period now, we're gonna have less and less of everything.

37:22 Yeah. Well, the of course, the opposite is true. We had the eighties,

37:26 the nineties,

37:27 and then we ran into trouble again. It's a it's a cycle. Yeah. The nineties were really prosperous. But but I don't hear anything really different from the complaints we get today, you know. It's the same. So we Yeah. We prowse a bit. And maybe it's just the media. Maybe We the media prowse a bit. The media picks the same people. That that's my ultimate conclusion.

37:46 The media picks the same people. They're all Although NPR

37:49 really tried.

37:51 They had listen, boss. I got an idea. We'll do a segment and we'll have people record

37:58 their answers on on this cell phone and send it in and we'll we'll air it all the way, boss.

38:03 Yeah. Just just as contrasted, because I know what you're gonna play because I saw that or heard it too. But

38:09 Bill Hammer was at the

38:12 fireworks display and afterwards as people were streaming out, they were doing a live feed. Mhmm.

38:18 And this was just people leaving.

38:21 And he would just go up to live feed,

38:24 person after person after person after person. And if you took all that stuff and and put it together, it was nothing but positive.

38:31 In fact, it was it was ridiculously

38:34 positive.

38:35 And so you so your point about and I think this is this is true and I think we boast everybody suffers from it if you're in the media.

38:44 Yeah. You you you know, when you you go out there, there's the positive stuff's not that interesting.

38:50 Yeah. No. It's It's just a bunch of people saying this was great.

38:53 I love Trump.

38:55 I can't have that.

38:57 That immediately. Stop

38:59 that. The Fox people probably even, oh, we gotta do some negativity here.

39:03 So they asked swing voters

39:06 if they were proud

39:08 of their

39:09 imperfect

39:10 America.

39:11 And now more Oh, man. I'm so sorry. I screwed up my screwed up my Chopper and Succotash. I'm Scott. I screwed up my own jingle.

39:22 Simon. And now more voices of our fellow Americans. NPR has undertaken a project that we call swing shift. It follows a dozen voters in swing states.

39:32 NPR senior political correspondent Tamara Keith checking in with them periodically on gas prices, their opinion on how the president's doing, and today

39:41 on how they feel about America on its 200

39:44 birthday.

39:45 Hello, Tamara. This is John from Pennsylvania.

39:48 I sent John and the other swing shift voters a list of questions about America two hundred and fifty years in, and they sent back thoughtful answers recorded on their phones.

39:59 Question is, are you proud to be an American? Why or why not?

40:03 The answer is yes. I am proud to be an American. It's a very imperfect country. There's a lot that still needs to be worked on, a lot that still needs to be done.

40:12 And still, he's proud. They all are with varying levels of nuance.

40:17 Yes. I am and always have been proud to be an American. Would still say yes here, but with some slight embarrassment.

40:24 I'm proud to be an American.

40:27 This is the greatest country

40:29 on the planet Earth.

40:30 Live in the best country in the world. You know? We have democracy.

40:35 We have freedom. I do have some pride to be an American. However, I also have a lot of shame. Why wouldn't I be proud to I be

40:42 mean, we live in one of the best countries in the world. That was Jason, Wally, Gerald, Theresa, Evan, and Lee.

40:50 NPR agreed not to use their full names so they can speak freely about politics in these polarized times. And I think that that is a clue that they give us there. The minute you let people speak anonymously,

41:04 then the truth comes out. Yeah. I'm proud to be America. It's a pretty good country. It's alright. Oh, that's a little bit of shame. But in general, sounds like people are optimistic.

41:14 And and I'm quite sure if she had at least one besides the guy who said I feel some shame, she had enough she would have put it in the report.

41:23 She just didn't have it.

41:26 So that was quite

41:28 a feeling Like you said you experienced this kind of in an offhanded way there in Holland when

41:34 the

41:34 driver

41:36 asked people who they voted for and they wouldn't say, and you said they voted for Trump. Yeah. But they

41:41 which is probably true,

41:43 but they wouldn't say it because it wasn't anonymous.

41:46 Exactly.

41:48 And

41:49 and and the driver was it was interesting. He's like, I love it here because we just say who we voted for. I think we're pretty clear in America too.

41:57 Think

41:57 I what I feel is that Americans come over and first of why are they over here? They're here for business or they're you know, to run away from evil orange man and they just don't wanna say it. I don't know. It's a

42:09 but but media wise in The United States, the minute it's anonymous, then the truth comes out. She had a second piece here.

42:15 The final question I asked was for one word or phrase that explains how they feel about America's future.

42:22 These swing voters are uncertain,

42:25 concerned, hopeful, worried, excited,

42:28 and cautiously optimistic.

42:30 And then there's Lee who has a new job,

42:33 and his optimism is unqualified.

42:35 I think we're gonna have a good What? Hold on a second.

42:39 His optimism is unqualified?

42:44 Well,

42:45 technically,

42:46 she's saying is that

42:47 everybody else had qualified optimism,

42:51 which means that you yeah. I'm optimistic,

42:54 but who has a new job,

42:56 and his optimism is unqualified.

42:59 I think we're gonna have a good future because why wouldn't we?

43:03 I don't know. I think she's just saying that guy's an idiot. It can't be right. That guy's a well, he sounds like one.

43:11 That can't be right. So then we switch over to MS Now, Ms Now,

43:17 and we have,

43:19 let's see, representative Hoffman.

43:22 And of course,

43:24 MS Now was all over the setup to the house being taken over by Democrats for the impeachment of Trump. Yeah. A lot of this is in the jurisdiction of the natural resources committee and so,

43:35 our oversight and investigation team has undertaken a yearlong investigation

43:41 that really, I think, should upset every American because our country only turns 250

43:47 years old once. We were on track for a broadly unifying national celebration with serious folks like the Smithsonian,

43:55 leading the programming.

43:57 Congress Yawn. Set up this commission.

44:01 Yeah. Compare that with Trump to showman. Oh, the Smithsonian

44:05 is going to lose.

44:07 Can you imagine? Yes. Slavery,

44:10 horrible to yawn. With serious folks like the Smithsonian,

44:14 leading the programming.

44:16 Congress set up this commission to be insulated from politics, to really be above politics,

44:22 and it was going to be a lot like I

44:26 think that fireworks

44:27 are above politics. Yeah. A band playing a bunch of hot songs Well, but this with a big sax section is above politics. He's actually leading

44:36 into something which is

44:38 a topic you brought to our attention several weeks ago. And it was going to be a lot like what many of us experienced in 1976,

44:47 something that we could all feel good about our government leading instead.

44:52 Not everybody. Proven that wrong. Not everybody. Donald Trump hijacked it, made it all about himself and his vanity projects, his political agenda, and all of these endless schemes to enrich himself and his cronies.

45:05 Yeah. Enrich so with America,

45:07 with Freedom two fifty,

45:09 Freedom

45:10 two fifty, he enriched himself and all of his cronies.

45:14 Yes. This is a scandal. Congressman, it's Sam Stein here. The report that you put out today really

45:21 looks at whether money was

45:23 misdirected,

45:24 and if donors were, misinformed

45:27 about where their money was going,

45:29 assuming they were giving to the congressionally mandated,

45:32 committee, and then it turns out they were giving to the Trump related committee.

45:35 This is sort of a reoccurring pattern. I know you've been, focused on the arch

45:40 that he's trying to build out in Virginia,

45:43 but we just don't know the sources of the money, how he's spending the money, where the money's going, and who it's going to in a lot of these cases.

45:52 Can you speak in broad strokes about what you know as someone who does have jurisdiction over this and what you would like to find out?

45:59 Yeah. The this report pulls back the veil on on how they hid a lot of this from public scrutiny.

46:05 And they started out with an attempt to take over that bipartisan

46:09 commission that congress created. When that failed, they went to plan b, which is this elaborate,

46:16 machination where they set up a shadow company, Freedom two fifty LLC. They housed it within a beloved charity, the National,

46:24 Park Foundation,

46:26 over

46:27 at the Department of Interior,

46:29 and they did it in a way that all of their fundraising and other activities would be insulated from public view. And so they started

46:37 shaking down and misleading donors, soliciting,

46:40 foreign contributions.

46:42 They siphoned off the resources of the bipartisan commission that congress authorized

46:47 and

46:48 they did it all in in this veil of secrecy through Freedom two fifty.

46:53 So this is the

46:54 the organization

46:55 that that Silicon Valley guy, the Indian guy put together?

46:59 Rake something or other was his name?

47:02 Yeah. I don't recall his So all of this secrecy,

47:07 he's he fleeced the donors.

47:10 It's it's I looked it up. It's public. I I I read the documents, ma'am. And it's Raytheon,

47:16 it's north of Grumman, it's it's it's all the military industrial complex. Yes. The usual suspects. Coca Cola.

47:23 I mean, it's it's not like they didn't fleece any donors.

47:26 They said, hey, Trump went over and said, hey, listen.

47:30 You like these contracts? You know, chip in man. Make America look good.

47:35 Pay something for the for the mall.

47:37 Oh, no. This is he just enriched himself and his cronies. Yeah. Coca Cola. His cronies. He drinks a lot of These cronies are Raytheon.

47:47 And then How's the money coming from Raytheon to an well, I guess it does enrich them because they get a contract

47:52 somewhere down the road that they would have gotten anyway. Who else you're gonna contract some of these these Patriot missile banks

47:59 to? Which They're the only ones who make them. Which we sold the Dutch 700

48:03 of them as an aside.

48:05 The Dutch Oh, Raytheon's good for them. They bought 700 paid I think it was Patriots to give to To what? To give to Ukraine.

48:13 Literally. Oh. To give to Ukraine. And you know and you know how you pay for it? With a freedom tax.

48:18 There's a new freedom tax in Holland

48:21 because we're protecting your Let me get this straight. The

48:26 Dutch people

48:27 have been suckered Mhmm. Into paying a freedom tax Yes. To give our company Raytheon

48:34 Yep. Money to buy missiles that then they do would then give away Yep. To Ukraine.

48:40 Yes. And then they tell the media

48:43 Putin's in trouble.

48:45 It's working people. It's for your freedom tax money is working.

48:50 Wow. But this is so this talk though is all part of the deal.

48:54 There's somebody We got some sales guys. It's our

48:58 guy. It's it's Oh, Ruta. That's right. Is

49:01 He's done his job. You Trimpe, you ordered a trillion dollar Trimpe. You did it again. Man, it's great.

49:06 So

49:07 Ty Cobb who used to be a White House lawyer,

49:11 he's now grabbing the bull by the horns because we have to set everything up because we're going to have

49:17 and your thesis and you probably won't be wrong but

49:21 I still took the other side of the bet because there's two of us. If the Democrats take the House in the midterms

49:28 they will immediately move to impeach the President and this is what they are hammering

49:33 is

49:34 enrichment of his cronies

49:37 himself,

49:38 and he's clearly crooked. Our friend Al Tye Cobb, he is a former Trump White House lawyer. Tye, pretty interesting there when you look at that chart and how much Trump has made and how much everyone else has lost. What is your reaction to the scale of what we're seeing in What?

49:53 How how much Trump has made and how how much everyone else has lost? This is the best part.

49:59 Who lost what? Well, so that he they show the chart of the meme coin, of the Trump coin,

50:06 which,

50:06 you know, is exactly what it is. You sell,

50:09 you make a million of these Trump coins or however many they made, it's an ICO.

50:14 Everyone knows how it works, there's tens of thousands of them and you sell them, everybody buys them and the price goes up and then he, you know, he he dumps all of the insider stuff that they have, which is another 10,000,000 and then you put that in your pocket and then the market goes down. And then everyone else lost and you won. That is exactly No, the loss I see. Exactly how it's been working for, you know, for a decade almost. This disclosure of how much Trump is earning from these crypto ventures. Over $1,000,000,000

50:42 last year alone. Right? This isn't a cumulative number. It's in one year. An industry he's actively promoted

50:48 and supported

50:50 and done policy executive orders related to. Is it legal? I don't believe so. Certainly, I don't think it was contemplated by the founders when they created the emoluments clause.

51:00 I I do think that

51:02 one of the line items, of course, is the commemorative coins.

51:06 You know, several $100,000,000

51:07 of of income

51:09 related to

51:10 those coins.

51:12 How can that be anything other than trading on his

51:15 image and likeness?

51:17 The image and likeness he's built up for for what? Forty years?

51:22 Yeah. And I think this all launched before he became 60.

51:27 Well, if yeah. Yeah. In violation of the emoluments clause. It's in violation of the is is the emoluments clause, is that in violation of the emoluments clause? The emoluments clause has with foreign gifts. It's gifts. Yeah. But okay. With regard to the crypto,

51:41 obviously, that's, you know, it's it's a slimy industry. Slimy. You know, certainly the way he's going around it where he creates policies that can only enrich it wrench himself and his family.

51:51 Bullcrap.

51:55 Congress is making laws about that. The president isn't making laws about crypto.

52:00 It's something that I think the average American

52:03 should be staggered by.

52:04 But you you the scale and I think the scale here is just

52:09 it's intentional. There's no question. I mean, we are seeing the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind

52:15 in the last eighteen months. So

52:19 this is what they're gonna do. They're gonna take, you know,

52:22 they're gonna say crypto,

52:24 crypto,

52:25 which will confuse everybody and then they're gonna make it very confusing. Well, what is crypto?

52:30 And what did he have? And is crypto this? Is crypto that? And and on

52:36 and on because it's it's a good one because no one would you know, not not a lot of people understand it. Millions do but certainly not most.

52:44 And many people have enriched themselves with crypto of all sorts.

52:48 But they're gonna use this over and over again and the hearings will go on forever.

52:53 They'll be explaining crypto.

52:56 And Trump did an interview

52:57 with CNBC to sit down with our with the guy we like, the one guy we like, Joe Kernan.

53:03 And and here's the two clips about

53:06 these accusations.

53:08 Now many people argue business experience is needed in government and we've seen the stock market in the first term and the second term. I think I think it's been rewarded to have a businessman in there. So

53:19 I think we shouldn't be surprised

53:22 that your businesses are doing well, but how would you counter critics

53:27 that say you're using the presidency to enrich yourself

53:30 and your family?

53:32 Well, in a lot of ways, if you think about it, the stock has gone up so much. The stock market today is up 500 points.

53:39 It's up to almost 53,000.

53:43 You know, watched your show, and you had somebody on one of your brilliant analysts

53:47 Mhmm. And they said if I had won the election, they said if president Trump could get

53:53 the stock market to anywhere near 50,000,

53:56 that would be an unbelievable

53:58 achievement, and that was over four years. In other words, at the end of his term, four years, if he could get anywhere near

54:04 50,000,

54:05 that would be well, it's at 53,000.

54:07 It's just a couple of points short of 53,000

54:10 right now, and that's essentially after

54:13 a little bit more than a year. Now,

54:15 I kind of disagree with this because

54:18 I believe that when you devalue the dollar

54:21 with

54:23 printing

54:24 money in essence, and we've done a lot of that, doesn't the stock market automatically

54:28 have to go up?

54:30 I mean, is that number kind of irrelevant?

54:33 I mean, you can't say, well, this is in $19.84

54:36 dollars, which would be this much today.

54:39 Don't don't you have to say the same thing about the stock market with 53

54:43 might be, you know, 35

54:45 in 1984?

54:48 Or am I I don't think you can make that argument. I don't think it's valid. Oh, okay.

54:55 Alright.

54:56 They continue. But do you do you worry that if they take if the democrats were to win the house that there's gonna be endless investigations of you and your administration? Well, know, I don't do anything

55:07 having to do with my business? My kids run it. I put a lot of money, had a lot of money, and I have a lot of money, and I've

55:13 always made I've made money. You know, I'm Money. A business person. I'm a really good business person.

55:19 I've made money, I've made a tremendous amount of money, more than I would have ever thought I would have made,

55:24 and I let people invest it. I don't even speak to I don't even know who they are, but it's given to big firms like

55:31 on your show all the time.

55:33 My son Eric handles it. I don't talk to him about things such as this. I think I'd be allowed to, I'm not sure even what the status is, but I don't. And he gives it into these semi

55:44 blind trusts or blind trusts where people invest.

55:47 There was a story today about

55:51 Jensen Wing, who's fantastic,

55:54 and

55:56 I have some I stock, I think it's very

55:58 think it's one of many companies that

56:01 one of the big Wall Street firms invests in, so they said, oh, Trump has some stock in there.

56:06 I don't care about that. You know why I

56:08 don't care? Because

56:12 I have a much bigger purpose, you know, this this is the Oval Office, it's a much bigger purpose than whether or not I make money.

56:19 Anyway, that will be the that will be it. That will be they'll be fighting

56:23 for years

56:25 and years to

56:26 impeach him and

56:28 get him out again. And on the other side we have

56:32 really this this socialism thing is quite interesting

56:36 and somewhat alarming, I would say, because you see the

56:41 the

56:42 I I really didn't even believe it myself, but I I see this, what do they call the red green alliance

56:49 happening more and more. So it's the red for the communist and green for Muslim.

56:55 Yeah. And that that I'm thinking there's something to that now. Here's what Kamala Harris is doing. He's like, oh, you know, that

57:03 Mamdani guy, he's got both. He's got he's a commie and he's a Muslim. Oh, I should go talk to him. An interesting scoop It's perfect. In Axios.

57:10 Kamala Harris

57:12 reached out to Zohan Mamdani, New York City mayor, and significantly pro Palestinian

57:16 activists

57:17 to talk about things. Things. Haimah, what's that about? Look. I'm not surprised by it. I mean, Cass and I talked about this for the last couple months. I mean, this was a big piece of Kamala Harris'

57:26 sort of downfall in 2024. She just could not wrap her head around talking, communicating with this wing of the Democratic party. And how aggrieved they felt. And how aggrieved they felt. And we've seen recently with the DSA

57:37 emerging as something that's You been better pay me. Better pay attention. And so I think she's doing her correctly, and, obviously, mayor Mandani is is the sort of mayor of the moment. So she's doing the right thing, but she's recognizing that she's gotta she's gotta ameliorate this before the next election. Which means,

57:51 I'm asking you Yeah. Is this a tell? Is this the strongest tell

57:55 of all that she's running? I think she's doing everything she can right now to put herself in a position to run again. I think it's very likely, but there's still some consideration that she may not the first tell is when she didn't run for governing. Right. Exactly. Exactly. But she wants to keep black voters, as close as possible as well. Cassie?

58:10 Yeah. I think it's interesting that so many Yeah. Sort of who's hedged around whether or not they support Mamdani ahead of his election. And now you have I mean, Kamala Harris remains the the favorite in the odds the betting market right now, and she's calling him. What I do think is interesting from a Republican perspective is Mundamy espouses so many of the things that when Kamala Harris talked about them in 2024,

58:34 voters ran away from that. So it's interesting

58:37 that instead instead of saying, what what are the lessons we learned from 2024? Talk about the DNC autopsy.

58:43 She's doubling down. She's embracing. She's seeing that this is the future base of the Democrat party. And as we know, you can't win if you can't turn out your base. Maybe

58:52 maybe you need to combine the commie and Muslim and call them mommies or mummies.

59:00 No. Okay.

59:01 But it's so bad

59:03 that even

59:05 who

59:06 Oh, yeah. Fetterman hates this. This is he's such an interesting dude.

59:11 You had the the representative

59:14 who won

59:17 the

59:19 the primary in New York.

59:21 Chevalier is the one they're talking about. Yes. Dvorak, Avelier Chevalier is one of several far left candidates who have shocked the democratic establishment this current political cycle. Their success raising questions about the future of the party as they see,

59:34 as they say rather that their movement continues to grow.

59:38 Solidarity

59:38 is the force that we need to vanquish Trump's fascism, to abolish ICE, and to stand up to the billionaires who are rigging our economy. Can a democratic socialist get elected president? I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position. We want to demonstrate that this is not some fluke. This is about an entire movement of working class people who know that we can demand

1:00:01 so much more. Now, John Fetterman, Democratic senator from Pennsylvania. Sir, good to have you back and good morning to you. I wanna motor through a couple of topics and this is the first one. You said the other day that there's a significant part of our party that's being taken over with these extreme views.

1:00:18 Now others are saying it's just a few here and a few there. You said significant.

1:00:23 Explain that.

1:00:24 You well, I I think your colleague Chad just pointed out. I just put out a tweet yesterday.

1:00:29 I mean, she was praising Kim and Stalin.

1:00:33 I mean, between those two men, you know, a 100,000,000,

1:00:36 you know, people murdered, you know, like some of the most evil and terrible people, you know, in the world or in history, and she was praising them saying, we don't have enough of their books, you know, in our libraries.

1:00:48 And, of course, she she deleted those things, but this is not ancient history. This is all recent views that people like this, are electing. And on this network, I've described it. I think it was with Jesse.

1:01:01 I said, you know, our party's becoming an orgy of socialism, and I think I've been vindicated with to see the way these

1:01:07 elections are working out.

1:01:10 Yeah. It's kinda concerning.

1:01:13 You know, of course, you know, I think the whole thing's an op, but that's just me. Let's I think think it isn't. It's not just you. I think it is an op.

1:01:21 Let's play my favorite one, though, the person in Colorado.

1:01:26 Yes. This this joker

1:01:28 in Colorado

1:01:29 is it really take takes it over the top. The ideological battle within the Democratic party on full display yet again.

1:01:36 Democratic socialist candidate oust another sitting Democrat in Congress. Anthony's Melina Weiscount has key takeaways from Colorado's primary elections.

1:01:45 Longtime Democrat congresswoman Diana DeGette from Colorado is the latest target from the far left of the Democratic party. Yesterday, the congresswoman who served here in the house for the past twenty nine years lost her seat to the Democratic socialist candidate, Malat Kiroz.

1:02:00 Kiroz previously commented that the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7 was the inevitable consequence of apartheid.

1:02:06 House Republicans this week warning about the dangerous rhetoric from far left candidates like her.

1:02:12 We've watched members of their coalition say Israel,

1:02:15 our closest ally in the Middle East,

1:02:19 doesn't have the right to exist.

1:02:22 Keres' win is the latest in a string of victories for the democratic socialist movement in America that's led to the ousting of several democrat incumbents here in congress over the past few weeks. House minority leader and democrat leader Hakim Jeffries, when asked about this trend, told reporters this.

1:02:38 Ultimately, it'll be in the hands of the people,

1:02:41 of Denver, but the reality is we have an unsettled

1:02:45 electoral environment.

1:02:47 Another progressive candidate, state representative Manny Rutnell, in Colorado's 8th District won the Democratic primary nudging past a moderate state lawmaker.

1:02:55 Ruttenell will now face Republican incumbent congressman Gabe Evans in November. Results tonight could not be more clear.

1:03:02 Out of touch, far left Democrats just nominated the most radical socialist

1:03:07 Colorado has ever seen. Ban oil and gas. Ban natural gas stoves.

1:03:11 This is one of the most purple districts in the nation, and Democrats are eyeing it as a pickup opportunity for November. House speaker Mike Johnson telling reporters on Tuesday that the contrast for voters couldn't be more clear. Now, I've been thinking about this particularly,

1:03:25 you know, speaking to my brother-in-law

1:03:27 here

1:03:28 and

1:03:29 so two of my nephews, one is a socialist

1:03:32 and one is completely

1:03:35 right wing, voted for shade builders, etcetera. They're two different countries but the same basic ideas.

1:03:41 They both

1:03:42 agree on one thing.

1:03:44 Israel committed genocide.

1:03:47 And

1:03:49 if this truly is an op from CIA which, you know, there's plenty of evidence to go around that they have managed

1:03:57 elections and who runs our country for a long time,

1:04:02 that would be the perfect one.

1:04:03 You just wanna get the people who are against Israel

1:04:07 to talk together and it's all gonna be young people which is the weakness of the plan because young people don't typically vote as men as much as older people.

1:04:16 But you I can see where you get these

1:04:21 anti Israel slash Muslim pro like Mandami types

1:04:26 together with the Marxists

1:04:28 and free stuff

1:04:30 and I can see that how they would have molded that. Does that fit into your your thesis?

1:04:35 Well, my yeah. In some ways, it and I think a lot of it is to get people to reveal themselves.

1:04:41 Mhmm. In other words, you you know, you set up shop, make it look normal and then see who jumps in. And I have this clip from Rance Priebus.

1:04:51 He was asked about this the whole this democrat socialist stuff, and he was blathering on on Hannity.

1:04:57 And this is Priebus going on and on, and I think he

1:05:01 of all people Who was Previous again? He was was Grant Previous is the originals,

1:05:05 guy who ran the original Trump office. He was the chief of staff Oh, right. Right. For Trump in 2016.

1:05:11 Right.

1:05:12 He's a wimpy looking guy, and he was put in by somebody else, but he's he's kinda come around, but

1:05:17 Put in put in by the C. I. A.

1:05:20 No. I don't think so because I don't think he's read in unless he's unless even this is being part of the plan,

1:05:26 but he what he says is to me, if you after he's done, I'll tell you what what he's what he's missing. Well, I don't know if we're teaching people anymore,

1:05:36 like we used to. I mean, you have you have Muslim countries from the West Coast Of Africa

1:05:43 all the way through the Middle East, all the way through through Asia,

1:05:48 basically,

1:05:50 and you have this little tiny spot,

1:05:53 Israel, on the map, and they've been persecuted

1:05:55 for

1:05:56 decades and decades and centuries for that matter. I mean, there's no doubt about it, but the point here, it's very clear. It's a leadership problem. It's not a messaging problem. I mean, you have a Democrat party. You have Hakim Jeffries, Schumer, Ken Martin, all of you all out there in the Democrat party. They're not calling it out. This stuff needs to be isolated and rejected. If if if the entire Democrat leadership called out

1:06:21 these kind of comments, this this gal from Colorado,

1:06:26 that she was called, October 7 inevitable, she called 911 inevitable,

1:06:31 every party leader in the Democrat party should have called her out. Every state party, local party, county party. If everyone did that and ostracized

1:06:40 this person for these crazy comments,

1:06:42 she wouldn't be elected, but they're not willing to do it. They have a leadership problem. Here's another question. If tell me what if you're in the DNC right now, what which one of which swing state in 2028 do you want one of these DSA

1:06:56 lunatic communists campaigning in? To John Assef and Roy Cooper, which one of these DSA candidates do you want running around in North Carolina and Georgia this fall

1:07:05 campaigning? The answer is none of them.

1:07:09 So there was

1:07:11 this Well, let me say Sure.

1:07:15 When he says that they won't call them out,

1:07:19 I think he might be missing the point of that there's doing this underlying current, even since I was in college

1:07:27 within the Democrat party that's extremely socialist

1:07:30 Mhmm. And it's starting to emerge after all these years.

1:07:35 And it's a sincere movement.

1:07:37 It's bad for the country and bad for everybody, but it's been it's been it's been bubbling underneath the surface.

1:07:45 And the reason that the leadership doesn't

1:07:48 make a point of calling it out is because in some ways, they're they're in they want it. They want they they love it. Yes. They want it.

1:07:56 The Democrats

1:07:57 want

1:07:58 because Bernie Sanders has been harping on this for year after year after year. We need to go more left.

1:08:05 So he keeps wanting to you know, he's he and and the the Robert Reich,

1:08:09 who was Yeah.

1:08:11 Actually, we saw him on the street. He's he lives in Berkeley. Robert Reich has came out, and if you look at this, he's got a podcast or something. Did you yell at him? Did you yell at him?

1:08:20 No. I if I if I'd seen him sooner.

1:08:24 He has a podcast where he's the same thing. On Substack. The the Democrats should not move toward the middle. They should move further left. And so it's undercurrent.

1:08:33 They're they've decided,

1:08:35 okay. We're gonna try it. Let's see what happens. And they're all and I think they're sincere about it. So there was this guy And they're being encouraged by the op.

1:08:44 Yes.

1:08:45 And I and I think the op is bigger than just the democrats,

1:08:49 but it will behoove the democrats,

1:08:52 democratic party.

1:08:54 There was this guy, the Jeremy Boring who's is actually he lives up to his name. There's a term for that when when someone

1:09:02 their someone's personality is like their name.

1:09:05 Yeah. There is a term. I forget what it is.

1:09:08 He's kinda boring.

1:09:10 He was the co founder of the Daily Wire with Shapiro and he has a podcast, of course. The the Jeremy Boring Show.

1:09:18 And he had this guy on Burmawi,

1:09:20 a Muslim who left Islam

1:09:24 and converted to Christianity

1:09:26 and he and he did a whole hour about this. Most of it was not that interesting,

1:09:30 but I have two clips that I thought kind of fit in with this exact conversation about the Red Green Alliance. Now,

1:09:36 Islam

1:09:37 fits

1:09:39 that

1:09:42 narrative

1:09:43 because Islam is non western,

1:09:45 non white,

1:09:48 colonized,

1:09:50 non christian.

1:09:51 So it checks all the boxes.

1:09:55 And

1:09:56 Islam by nature

1:09:58 is anti West.

1:10:03 So the alliance,

1:10:05 they became

1:10:08 just, you know, naturally like a couple

1:10:11 who are in love. Even though they don't agree on

1:10:15 almost anything else,

1:10:17 they agree on the enemy. The

1:10:21 Marxists, they want to take down the system because they want to build their utopia.

1:10:25 Islam wants to take down the system because it wants to replace it with the caliphate, with the rule of Allah.

1:10:33 So both groups are saying,

1:10:35 well, let's work together,

1:10:38 let's kick the can down the road,

1:10:41 and we will figure out who's going to establish what later.

1:10:46 For now,

1:10:48 let's

1:10:49 take down the system. I think that's spot on.

1:10:53 And of course, the communists always forget that once

1:10:56 the combined group has the power,

1:10:59 the Muslims will kill them. They're the first to kill They kill them first.

1:11:06 Yeah. That would be the way you'd go.

1:11:09 So I was like The communists

1:11:10 don't think, they they think I don't know what they're thinking. I I I not a communist, so I can't figure out how and, I mean, it's the whole idea of queers for Palestine is Yeah. Because exactly

1:11:21 Exactly. Is this is this summarizes everything. But now you see that you have a Tucker Carlson

1:11:26 who is

1:11:28 saying

1:11:29 Islam isn't that bad, these Muslim countries are pretty good. Love cut Qatar. Love Qatar.

1:11:35 I have a house there. You know,

1:11:37 Israel is horrible. Israel is is is the is responsible for all of our problems.

1:11:43 And and so you're bringing in, you know, you're bringing in another group that are kind of coming together

1:11:50 and eventually will wind up voting for

1:11:54 these Democrat

1:11:56 candidates.

1:11:58 Or it's possible, not all of them, but I think I think you're right. The Democrat party

1:12:03 sees the power, the movement, and they're like, well, we don't have much else and we can still throw our our LGBTQ

1:12:09 in there because they're all for it.

1:12:13 It it's a it's a interesting game to watch.

1:12:17 Oh, it's terrific.

1:12:18 Now, considering this is coming from the intelligence

1:12:22 sector and for C. I. A,

1:12:24 this is probably why the president has appointed

1:12:28 the bull in the China shop, Bill Pulte, as the interim

1:12:33 DNI,

1:12:35 and he's doing the purge. So you have a director, the the most senior, the director of national intelligence,

1:12:41 and Pulte himself has no experience in intelligence. He is known primarily for doing the president's bidding, and now his chief of staff also

1:12:49 know and know experience and has a history of looking into election fraud claims. Which concerns you more? The competence question or the ideology question? I think it's it's all of them. Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulte in there because he has no intelligence background. It's Okay. This was interesting. I'm like, wait a minute. It's against the law to put him in there because he has no intelligence background?

1:13:14 The law That's bullcrap.

1:13:16 Well, the law says

1:13:18 no

1:13:19 candidate

1:13:20 to be no nominee

1:13:22 shall have no intelligence background.

1:13:24 But Trump has already nominated another person.

1:13:27 He's not the nominee, he's the interim.

1:13:31 So

1:13:32 this is another Nice move. Tricky dicky move by the president. He nominated someone who has intelligence background and experience, but this guy is just here for, you know, until we till we move that guy through. Ideology question. I think it's it's all of them.

1:13:46 Number one, it's against the law to put Bill Pulte in there because he has no intelligence background. It's actually articulated.

1:13:53 So the suitability both on, knowledge and experience, but also character,

1:13:58 from both Bill Pulte, now his chief of staff. But what's their intent? What are they looking to do? Are they looking to make the intelligence community better? The DNI was supposed to be a synchronizer,

1:14:08 supposed to help with efficiency

1:14:10 and sharing of information. That's not what they're necessarily looking to do. What it sounds like,

1:14:15 and what's past this prologue, is they're looking to create another big lie and now use the power of the intelligence community and more broadly,

1:14:24 you know, the FBI and and Homeland Security and others to do the bidding to forward this conspiracy.

1:14:31 And that should alarm all Americans because the capabilities of the intelligence community

1:14:35 are

1:14:36 vast and impressive, which is why we were able to dismantle ISIS and hunt down Bin Laden and all the things we've done during the global war on terrorism to keep us safe

1:14:46 after nine eleven.

1:14:47 That is not what we're gonna see going forward. We're gonna see these capabilities potentially turned on American citizens.

1:14:53 Yeah.

1:14:54 Of course. It'll be turned on American citizens like John Brennan.

1:14:59 Who

1:15:00 who has done a cool move? John Brennan is now told me. John Brennan is now suing the Trump administration. Firing back at Donald Trump's revenge campaign is where we begin this hour with former director of the CIA, John Brennan. Thank you for being here and having this conversation with us. Absolutely, Nicole. Thanks for having me on. Yes. Nicole So Vocal fry. Put your headphones on. What

1:15:23 made you

1:15:25 sort of take a different legal

1:15:27 strategy? Because the the facts have always been the same, and and I I just wanna ask you to go over the facts of the of the smears and the alleged investigations

1:15:36 Smears. To you as Smears. Been unearthed by Trump ally, John Durham,

1:15:40 by Marco Rubio, who was the senator in charge of the intelligence

1:15:44 committee when it comes to that 2016

1:15:46 intelligence

1:15:47 assessment?

1:15:48 Yeah.

1:15:49 Well, Nicole, clearly, I didn't come to the decision to launch this lawsuit against the Trump administration,

1:15:55 president Trump, and the Department of Justice lightly.

1:15:58 But as you and I have talked numerous times over the past eighteen months, Donald Trump has been engaged in this campaign to punish individuals he considers his enemies.

1:16:08 And, I am being targeted by Donald Trump because I fulfilled my obligations in 2016

1:16:14 as director of the CIA

1:16:16 to expose Russian interference in that presidential election of that year.

1:16:22 He's doubling down.

1:16:25 Talk about your your op,

1:16:27 Muslim Brennan.

1:16:31 Wow. Right?

1:16:33 Yeah. This guy's unbelievable. Yeah.

1:16:36 But he is So they're gonna he's gonna stick with the with the Russia collusion thing even though it's been

1:16:42 Right. The lid's been long since blown off it by Tulsi Gabbard mostly. But this guy was probably the in in charge of the the Red Green Alliance within the intelligence community.

1:16:52 Yeah. He probably was since he was As head Muslim.

1:16:55 And nobody

1:16:57 to this day has ever Ever just asked in the news media has said Hey. Are you a Muslim?

1:17:02 Are you a Muslim?

1:17:05 And he and a good Muslim has to answer,

1:17:08 yes.

1:17:09 No. A good Muslim doesn't. A good Muslim is that that that thing where you can lie. Oh. Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot about that part.

1:17:17 Like, there's a term for it? Yeah. Lying.

1:17:20 Well, I mean, there is a

1:17:22 specific term for

1:17:24 It's called lying for the purposes of the to to benefit. Yeah. The benefit is Islam. Mhmm. Mhmm. Yeah. Interesting.

1:17:33 So

1:17:34 in conclusion,

1:17:36 there is a definite

1:17:41 situation we have to be aware of in The United States and that's I I think this Red Green Alliance has something to it.

1:17:48 But if you if you just have a bunch of imams and clerics running around, it doesn't work. It only works if you get a Mamdani

1:17:56 or a Chevalier.

1:17:57 This is where this is where it's dangerous.

1:18:00 When you have the communist

1:18:02 who is a Muslim or converts to Muslim like the Jewish guy

1:18:06 in New York,

1:18:08 who they had him doing a whole bunch of

1:18:11 Quran the

1:18:13 mosque. Yeah.

1:18:14 That's where that's what we have to look out for.

1:18:19 And then we have the intelligence

1:18:23 community,

1:18:24 the FBI going after

1:18:26 Newsom

1:18:27 and

1:18:28 I have a clip. Yeah. So I'll play mine and if yours if you got anything then well, actually, let's play yours because you're in California, you'll probably have something better.

1:18:37 Newsom wiretap, that sounds the same. Stunning new report reveals the FBI recruited a member of governor Gavin Newsom's inner political circle

1:18:44 to wear a wire as early as June 2024.

1:18:48 So who was this cooperating witness?

1:18:50 Alex Alexis Podesta,

1:18:52 a veteran Sacramento Democrat who worked under former governor Jerry Brown.

1:18:57 She did so in 2020. Newsom appointed her then to the board of the state compensation insurance fund, a position that she still holds. She later became a key cooperating witness in the federal case against Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson,

1:19:11 who pleaded guilty in May to federal fraud and tax charges.

1:19:15 And that's where the story takes a major turn. The New York Post is reporting, quote, Democrat insider Alexis Podesta secretly recorded conversations

1:19:25 during the criminal probe into Newsom's then chief of staff Dana Williamson.

1:19:29 The revelation that she was wearing a wire as far back as June

1:19:33 2024 explains why Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them

1:19:40 their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation,

1:19:44 and that timeline matters.

1:19:45 The wiretap would have been authorized

1:19:48 during the Biden administration,

1:19:50 and federal wiretaps aren't handed out lightly.

1:19:53 Investigators must establish

1:19:56 probable cause, show a wiretap is necessary, and the DOJ must approve it. Then a federal judge has to sign off, and the authorization is limited.

1:20:04 Generally, just thirty days at a time. With every extension, reacquiring

1:20:09 a new application

1:20:11 and new judicial approval is required. Yeah. They're going after him. And I looked it up, Alexa

1:20:18 Podesta is no relation to John No. No. No relation. No. But the the the thinking by some reporters

1:20:26 is that she was caught up You know? In the scandal with the with the chief of staff She went state of points. She sang like a canary. She flipped.

1:20:36 She flipped.

1:20:37 And they said, if you really wanted us to not to do anything with you,

1:20:42 you're gonna have to wear a wire. Yeah. That's they usually have something on you if you're if you're wearing a If you're walking around for since 2024

1:20:51 with a wire.

1:20:54 Something going on. You're doing it under duress.

1:20:57 Nobody's voluntarily

1:20:58 doing that.

1:21:00 Because people will shoot you if they you know, I mean, there's been oh, she fell out the window. I'm sorry.

1:21:09 Yeah.

1:21:10 So So yeah, this is bad. Yeah, that's bad. Well, that's why Kamala is sniffing around Mamdani, you know. Who do they have at this point?

1:21:20 Who do they have? Well, other thing that, you know, that I'm convinced of, which is that part of the whole

1:21:28 op, the op of the commie op,

1:21:30 is to

1:21:31 also to sideline Josh Josh

1:21:34 Shapiro. Shapiro. Mhmm. Be and they've done that because with the the all this anti Jewish stuff has come all this anti Semitic Yep. Can't have the Jew.

1:21:43 And so and he according and CNN had an interesting little

1:21:48 chat around with somebody saying, well, he's he's he he presents himself as more Jewish

1:21:54 than these other guys. He's Do you have that? Jewy. Do you have a clip?

1:21:58 No. I wish. Did they say the guy's Did they say he's more Jew y? Did they say No. That would be a John Stewart's always using the term Jew y. But that would be

1:22:07 a

1:22:08 deal killer. So Shapiro is because Shapiro,

1:22:12 I think, could be

1:22:14 a great candidate.

1:22:16 Yeah.

1:22:17 Because he's got the chops, he's got executive

1:22:20 experience. Now that He's running a state. That kite will not fly in this democratic party. You can't be a Jew anymore. It's just not gonna work. No. So the Jew thing What? So managed to sideline him. How do they even allow Bernie Sanders to speak anymore?

1:22:37 That that's a very interesting point. Or is he just an just an old crank and they don't even see him He's an old crank and you know, he's okay. He's not really Jewish. Yeah.

1:22:46 The most Jew y of them all. Yeah. So Birchit, Tim Birchit, representative Birchit, was the big UAP UFO disclosure day guy.

1:22:56 So that turned out to be a wet fart. It's just nothing happened. Spielberg didn't come through,

1:23:02 you know, the the the videos suck.

1:23:05 It's all old stuff. Oh, okay.

1:23:08 We we have a hard time even believing Apollo eleven. Oh, okay. But, you know, they saw stuff on the moon or something. So it was just a a dud.

1:23:17 And the witnesses aren't really witnesses. They're not really whistleblowers.

1:23:21 So it's just nothing. So he's moved on. I think this guy's entire

1:23:27 modus operandi

1:23:29 is, you know, if I can just cut on Joe Rogan a couple of times, I'll get reelected.

1:23:33 So now he's on the MK Ultra tip,

1:23:36 which is a lot more believable than than the UFOs

1:23:39 and they got hearings. Have you seen any of the MK Ultra hearings?

1:23:43 I've been meaning to go back to C SPAN and and look specifically at them, but no. Let me bring you up to speed. I remember Then it can actually see a couple of clips that are good. Yeah. Sorry. Here we go. I remembered when all the talk about MK Ultra broke, and then they were talking about lawsuits,

1:23:58 and there were lawsuits,

1:23:59 and the CIA and the federal government said that this didn't exist. And then they came back and said, well, it does exist.

1:24:05 And then, but we're not doing it anymore. I guess my question to y'all first is, which lie do we do we believe?

1:24:14 Because

1:24:15 he's doing shtick.

1:24:19 Yeah.

1:24:21 Are these MK Ultra survivors who are hooting and hollering in the background? Obviously, there was an open bar before this thing started, so thank you all. But

1:24:30 doctor Kenser,

1:24:33 hit your mic, brother. You're not on the mic. Go on the mic. It's old CIA trick. I'm just kidding. I mean, the guy is just doing shtick, is not really that funny,

1:24:42 But I I think he's trying to become a personality in these things. I mean, like Kennedy. He's trying to be a John Kennedy. Oh, well, he's failing. He's no John Kennedy. I put myself in the place of one of those senior CIA officers and I'm thinking to myself like the ones back in the nineteen fifties. Well, other people must be doing this.

1:25:00 We'd be falling behind if we don't do it. And nobody's looking over our shoulders. And that I think is is your job. So I I think there is a definite,

1:25:10 air of urgency and total secrecy.

1:25:15 If the if any current research is going on and if it's conducted in any comparable

1:25:21 level of secrecy to the original MK Ultra, it's very deeply secret.

1:25:26 Okay. It's very deeply secret. So

1:25:31 let's bring us up to speed, make it a little more current.

1:25:35 Let's talk about some of these lone wolf people,

1:25:38 which we used to call lone wolves. Now they're just known as loners.

1:25:42 What are the possibilities that

1:25:44 that what we've learned in MK Ultra now that it has advanced so much to algorithms and and the computer and getting the

1:25:53 loners

1:25:54 that some of these loners could,

1:25:57 through this just mass

1:25:58 propagation of whatever you're doing,

1:26:01 could

1:26:02 cause someone to maybe take a shot at a president.

1:26:06 I

1:26:07 know there's a lot of speculation out there about the, Butler shooting,

1:26:12 and I guess even the Charlie Kirk shooting.

1:26:16 I just hate to speculate,

1:26:18 because I don't know. I have no first hand knowledge whether those guys were programmed through radio waves Yeah. Or through Yeah. Their computer activity.

1:26:27 So I would never hazard a guess except to say what I've already said that they developed means

1:26:34 that we've never been told about

1:26:36 many many years ago and I imagine they've evolved to be much more effective now. I think this guy was the only I forget who that was, it was

1:26:45 Doctor Kinzer.

1:26:48 I think he's he's probably correct that memes and

1:26:52 algorithms,

1:26:53 they definitely can affect people.

1:26:56 And, you know, DARPA, now this comes from

1:27:00 Pachenik,

1:27:01 so take take it with a grain of salt. But Pachenik told me that DARPA, the defense When did you talk to Pachenik? Oh, no, we're talking years ago, years ago. And

1:27:12 so he's he told me he told me this years ago and I I there's evidence of it. The DARPA, the Defense Agency Research Project, who,

1:27:21 thanks to Al Gore, created the Internet

1:27:24 and, you know, Tim Berners Lee, but we all know it was Al Gore.

1:27:28 That they were

1:27:30 evaluating

1:27:31 the effects of quote unquote social media back in the late seventies.

1:27:37 And I think there's there's something to that.

1:27:40 That, you know, and just look at what what memes can do.

1:27:44 They're very powerful.

1:27:45 And if you can control algorithms and get stuff going, you know, you can you can move people places. You can get people to

1:27:53 to want to defend Palestine and hate Jews and,

1:27:57 you know, yeah. Well, the problem I have with that thesis is that when I was at Cal Berkeley fifty

1:28:05 years ago, plus

1:28:08 way before memes or social media or before computers,

1:28:12 desktop

1:28:13 computers at least, pre desktops,

1:28:16 they were yelling the Palestinian thing

1:28:19 and then, you know, Palestine, Palestine seems to be code for something. And then when I heard that speech, which I've discussed on the show before, of Phil Spector,

1:28:29 who gave a three hour lecture in Wheeler Auditorium,

1:28:33 and he brought as an aside, went on to when he was a kid Mhmm. He had heard this Palestine versus the Israel thing before Israel is even a country and he was hearing about this Palestine, Palestine, palace. So I'm I'm not convinced that Well memes are gonna trigger some guy to take a shot at Trump. Let

1:28:53 me counter that.

1:28:55 Maybe Palestine Palestine Palestine never worked until they had the Internet.

1:29:00 And then, oh, oh, now we can do it. Now we don't doesn't work. It's what do you mean? They're getting they're getting people positioned to be elected. We have a mayor in New York.

1:29:10 It it is working.

1:29:15 I don't know if it's working anymore than well, if it's an op, it may not be working. It may be artificial.

1:29:21 I'm gonna make the argument that it's artificial. Okay. Well, we shall see, comrade. I'm gonna start calling you comrade. I'm hedging my bets just in case.

1:29:30 And and our friend, Birchit also is hedging his bets because he's playing he doing the same thing that he did with the UFO UAPs.

1:29:38 Listen to this. Sounds to me like you're describing something like the Martin Luther King assassination.

1:29:44 The FBI didn't carry it out, but it created such a climate. Just denouncing King as the most dangerous man in America and putting out all this material about how he was helping communists

1:29:55 that they must have thought it's gonna filter down. Somebody will take action and then we can say we didn't have anything to do with it. And James Earl Ray was

1:30:03 a third rate thief.

1:30:05 He made an incredible shot, one foot on a commode, one foot in a in a bathtub

1:30:10 leaning out of a window, basically. And the

1:30:14 next day, the or that afternoon, all the shrubbery was cut in front of the flop house he was staying in. There's a lot on that one that will never be discussed. I have some friends that were there. Oh, yeah. So I guess I could I'm on I read the documents. Pretty close to firsthand knowledge. But Yeah. Yeah.

1:30:29 I'm sorry. I'm probably gonna get audited when I walk out of the room. Just know it.

1:30:34 Thank you. Chairlady, I yield back my four seconds. Yeah. Okay.

1:30:39 So they're not really talking about MK Ultra, they're talking about propaganda,

1:30:43 media propaganda

1:30:44 and there's we can we can certainly show that there's a lot of mainstream media propaganda that is intended for one reason and one reason only is don't vote for Trump. Vote vote Democrat,

1:30:55 even better.

1:30:57 So I mean,

1:31:00 I I think it's

1:31:02 I think this op idea, there's something to it. It's possible,

1:31:05 plausible,

1:31:07 could be happening.

1:31:10 Well, it'll resolve itself shortly.

1:31:13 But I still think the Democrats are getting in and getting

1:31:17 the house in

1:31:18 I don't know if they're gonna get the senate, but they're gonna get the house for sure.

1:31:22 And they're gonna impeach Trump even though it's gonna go nowhere. Just gonna be a huge waste of time. Yes. It's it's waste of time and useful

1:31:30 content for

1:31:32 Miz Now and other cable news networks. They need something.

1:31:36 I

1:31:37 saw an interview just to can I switch topics here?

1:31:40 Yes, please. I saw an interesting interview on FedGov today.

1:31:46 You know, because they do podcasts,

1:31:48 obviously, good use of your tax money.

1:31:50 And they had on

1:31:52 they did have an interview

1:31:54 with let me see. She is the I think the CIO

1:31:58 of

1:32:00 hold on a second. Where is this here?

1:32:04 Her name is

1:32:07 Fletcher Fletcher Fletcher. Kelly Fletcher. State Department CIO. So she runs

1:32:12 the computers for Marco's outfit.

1:32:16 And they have

1:32:18 had quite an interesting experience with AI.

1:32:22 And I'm listening to this and I'm sure you'll pick up on the same things that I did. Honestly, for the State Department, generative AI is like the perfect technology for us. We translate things. We write a lot.

1:32:34 It's it's pretty magical for our mission. Magical? And so we rolled it out to 3,000 users to start and it was,

1:32:41 you know, it was in development. It crashed. You loaded a document that was too big. It crashed.

1:32:46 PDFs worked fine, but like, oh, an Excel table, forget about it. Know, it was imperfect.

1:32:52 And I'm so thankful with these 3,000 users.

1:32:55 They were committed to it. They we would change the underlying prompt in a small way,

1:33:01 and these users would notify us of the change in performance before our analytics did. It was so cool. So we actually recently sort of hit the knee in the curve moment. We spent probably a Oh, we gotta remember this one. The knee in the curve moment.

1:33:16 This is this is a good one.

1:33:18 What does it refer to? So

1:33:22 you have to look at the knee if someone's lying on their back and then the curve all of a sudden shoots up because their knee is bent. The knee and the curve.

1:33:35 Okay.

1:33:37 I I think it's one we need to keep track of. Before our Okay. We can keep track of it, I don't think it's gonna go anywhere. FedEx did. It was so cool. So So cool. We actually This really bad.

1:33:48 If we wait for it. To hit the knee in the curve moment. We spent probably a year, year and a half just saying use it, use it, use it. We built this for you. Please use it. We now have well over 50,000 users. We have about 20,000 users every single week, unique users.

1:34:03 Unique users. She's she's talking like a Silicon Valley lady.

1:34:07 And and and oh, and now we have to we don't have enough users, so let's get some champions. Yeah. We have a really strong, like, community of users. Community?

1:34:17 Right. So These are our employees.

1:34:19 Some of it is, like, not technologists,

1:34:22 but technology users become super users. They talk to each other. Good. They engage.

1:34:27 And I thought, organically, this will grow. You know what I mean? They're sitting next to non super users. It'll grow. But now we're being more intentional about it. So we have the AI Champions program.

1:34:37 These are folks who like

1:34:39 explicitly part of their duties are to go around their embassy or their domestic office

1:34:44 and say to people, hey, this is what I'm doing with AI. Would this work for you? They get to call themselves AI Champions. They're a cohort. They get extra training.

1:34:54 Honestly, it's really cool. It's everything's really cool. So what do you think that the after these years of implementation,

1:35:03 forcing these poor government employees to use it, sending out some kind of a gestapo team called AI champions.

1:35:10 Hey,

1:35:11 hey, why aren't you using this? What do you think they're ultimately using this technology for?

1:35:17 Search engine. No. Close. So right now, would say we have AI agents, but as a user, you don't really see them.

1:35:24 They're Because they don't really exist.

1:35:27 In the background. But we're moving to role of something we're calling Beacon,

1:35:31 and it is your personal administrative

1:35:33 assistant. So all those things that you're, you know, how much leave do I have?

1:35:39 You know, I I forgot First thing we do, how do I get out of this job? AI agent, how much leave do I have? How can I leave this desk? Well, that's that sounds that's a that is government work in a nutshell

1:35:52 having been there. Number one, how much How much sick time do I have? How much how much leave do I have? Can I go Can I combine the two? I'll get sick then take a week off. I'll be in Europe for two weeks. This is it. How much leave do I have?

1:36:09 You know, I I forgot my password on my phone. Do I have to go in to see someone or can someone help?

1:36:16 Okay.

1:36:18 If you're a government employee and you forgot your password on your phone,

1:36:23 maybe you shouldn't be an employee. Like all the admin Yeah. Yeah. Administrative toil.

1:36:28 Administrative

1:36:29 toil of how do I get out of this job for two weeks in Europe. All the administrative toil is gonna help with that.

1:36:37 We have the infrastructure to do it, but I'll tell you it's the training that's getting us. Mhmm. Because right now, you would call all different help desks to solve these problems and those help desks have scripts.

1:36:46 And some of those scripts are great and some of them are not. Okay. So now we're coming down to the nitty gritty.

1:36:53 All of this money,

1:36:54 all of this effort,

1:36:56 all of these agents running around doing stuff, We need to show some numbers people. Show me some results. And we found about 60% of our tickets from the IT support center could either be sped up or totally resolved through an agent. But we need the agent to be very clear if it can't help. Right? We need to send you to the right place to get help, but it can't

1:37:16 it can't not help because then we're gonna be in a a situation where folks just aren't gonna trust it. Mhmm. We have about a minute left for this part of the conversation. Yeah. What kind of a time?

1:37:26 Hey, ladies. Get the hook point. The hook. Do you expect to be able to get through? It sounds like just a volume of stuff to be able to work through even with the advantage of using AI tools.

1:37:38 So for the IT support center, I think we have a full plan for about 60% of the tickets we receive, which we receive almost a million tickets a year.

1:37:46 Now rolling that out, we're gonna see how it goes with users. I think we're gonna get users. My hope is that 10 to 20% of their help desk questions are resolved through Beacon in the next six months.

1:37:58 So it's for help desk.

1:38:02 I forgot my password.

1:38:04 What do I do? Do I need to go see someone?

1:38:07 I mean, this is what a waste. And is this the best they can do?

1:38:13 It

1:38:14 seems

1:38:14 pretty pathetic.

1:38:16 Now, if you ask Mark Andreessen,

1:38:18 man, that head that guy's head.

1:38:21 It's It was egg shaped. It's the no. It's an egg. It's not egg shaped. It is the and it's completely smooth.

1:38:28 I mean, it's like a his head is like a giant ostrich egg. I'm I'm I'm surprised he doesn't wear a hat.

1:38:34 Well, a tiny one.

1:38:36 A tiny little cowboy hat would probably be the way to go. No. No. The the everyone would know, like, dude, you're just hiding that pointy he is a cone head. That's what he is. And and he seems like a nice enough guy. But I bet the guy had dinner with him once. Oh, yeah? He, when he had hair. Oh.

1:38:55 That was how long ago it was. Yeah. And, with his hair and everything, he he looked

1:39:01 you never knew he had that shaped head for some reason. I think he probably should have gone with a toupee.

1:39:08 Well, I think it was I met him virtually in 1993

1:39:14 and he was still at school. I've told you this story.

1:39:18 And he and I had the mtv.com

1:39:20 gopher server.

1:39:22 And he says, hey,

1:39:24 I've got this thing. It's called a web browser, Mosaic, and and you can set it up on mtv.com.

1:39:29 And he sent me the

1:39:31 h t t p d, I think zero one point four or something.

1:39:36 Yeah. This is way before I met him. Yeah. Yeah. Well, was in school.

1:39:40 So I think once he was a billionaire, he's like,

1:39:43 well, I gotta deal with the toupee.

1:39:45 I can get any chick I want,

1:39:47 egghead or not, and just call my boy Jeff.

1:39:51 So here he is about,

1:39:53 he's asked the question about his favorite models.

1:39:56 And so you know, again, we're back to policy questions which is there there are gonna be policy efforts to kind of prevent AI medicine from happening or robotic medicine from happening, but the capabilities for sure are gonna be are gonna exist. I mean, the the

1:40:08 doctor Chat GPT is a better doctor than 99% of doctors, like, people, like, hate, you know, I don't know, doctors hate when you say it, but like it is true. It is. It just is. It really is.

1:40:18 We have all these new companies. We have this company,

1:40:21 brand new one of our companies, Open Evidence. That's actually the AI medical, service that a lot of the doctors use.

1:40:27 It's it's sweeping the medical medical field and it's great by the way, a patient you really want this because you want your doctor to have state of the art AI, right, supporting all of their, you know, but it right, by the way, if only to just have all of the information at their fingertips, right, to just like really understand, you know, because no human doctor can possibly read all the medical literature and keep up with it every year.

1:40:45 Doctor. Chat GPT.

1:40:47 That's what he's going for.

1:40:51 Doesn't sound Yeah. That's inevitable. Yeah.

1:40:53 And

1:40:57 here's an ad that producer Gary sent me.

1:41:01 As

1:41:03 Meta is rolling out their AI and I think they I don't think they have a good strategy at all. They're trying to sell it now as part of your WhatsApp for an extra $5 a month.

1:41:14 Or or you could get the pro version for $19

1:41:18 a month. They have since

1:41:20 they are, you know, socially conscious and they know how much their their users, although I don't think their users are graduating from college, I think their users are 70, 60, 70 years old, probably,

1:41:34 on average.

1:41:35 Well, we have to be socially conscious. So we have to we have to help these kids who are going to displace from the workplace

1:41:43 and get them new jobs.

1:41:45 People are building things here in America again,

1:41:48 and this moment calls for the best of America, our people.

1:41:52 Introducing America's Workforce Academy,

1:41:55 built by Meta,

1:41:56 a program helping to train the next generation of welders, fiber installers,

1:42:01 crew leaders, and more. Paid training, a job, and a path to America's future,

1:42:07 because the future is for everyone.

1:42:10 Learn more at meta.com/america's

1:42:13 workforce academy.

1:42:14 By the way, I would go for it. I would highly recommend you go get trained by Zuckerberg and get paid.

1:42:23 It's it's a real thing. Yeah.

1:42:26 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'd Yeah. I recommend it too.

1:42:30 Two more in this no, one more in this series, just one.

1:42:34 Further proving my point of the idiocy of the hyperscalers and the data centers, Lisa Sue,

1:42:40 Lisa Sue? Susan? Susan?

1:42:42 Who is the CEO of AMD.

1:42:45 She just did, her big keynote, her her Steve Jobs like keynote. And her one more thing was this. Now I would say this is pretty beautiful.

1:42:54 Do you guys agree? Yes.

1:42:57 So

1:43:00 let me tell you what it is. This is the smallest AI development system in the world,

1:43:05 capable of running models with up to 200,000,000,000

1:43:08 parameters locally,

1:43:10 not connected to anything.

1:43:12 It's powered by our highest end Ryzen AI Max processor with 128

1:43:17 gigabytes of high speed unified memory that is shared by CPU, GPU, and NPU.

1:43:23 This architecture accelerates system performance and makes it possible to efficiently run large AI models on a compact desktop PC

1:43:31 that fits in your hand. $1,900.

1:43:34 We're getting there.

1:43:36 This is gonna be such a such a meltdown when people start to figure this out.

1:43:42 What does JC say?

1:43:44 He he's he's all in on the same thing. Good. That makes me feel good.

1:43:50 He has no he there's no qualms about that.

1:43:55 Well, change the subject again,

1:43:58 we should probably at least discuss the big shot funeral that took place.

1:44:03 The Oh, yes. Yes. The Yeah. This this was rather

1:44:08 interesting. On the July 4 as as we had already accurately

1:44:13 pegged,

1:44:14 it didn't get the play that they wanted. You can't you can't do

1:44:19 a funeral. I can't have a funeral compete with 850,000

1:44:22 shells.

1:44:24 No. But here's the BBC report. A massive funeral like this takes massive preparations,

1:44:30 including centers like this rest station right on the outskirts of Tehran.

1:44:35 There are lots of these inside the city. As people come on these buses, one has just pulled up, bringing Iranians from across this country.

1:44:44 Here, they can queue men in one line, women in the other to get food and water and to rest. They tell us they're heading to Tehran. They want to be able to go to the vast Mosala Complex where the former supreme leader is lying in state. And then on Monday, what's expected to be a huge procession

1:45:04 carrying his coffins through the streets of Tehran. Millions are expected to turn out. Many will,

1:45:11 but many won't. Those who suffered

1:45:13 during the restrictions and repression

1:45:16 of his nearly four decades of rule.

1:45:19 In the midst of this morning, this is an intensely political moment. You'll see on all of the photographs of the flags a clenched fist,

1:45:27 a symbol of resistance

1:45:29 and also revenge.

1:45:31 A message from the leaders of this Islamic republic.

1:45:34 The war assassinated

1:45:35 their supreme leader and many others,

1:45:38 but they're still standing and still in charge.

1:45:42 Well, that's interesting. That was the BBC take who clearly want to continue to have the stranglehold

1:45:49 on on the Strait Of Hormuz out of our hands.

1:45:53 CNN

1:45:54 had a a rather different report. Upfront now, Nezila Fati, former and New York Times correspondent who's based in Iran for ten years. Nezila, we haven't seen or heard from the new supreme leader, Moshaba Khomeini, yet. So if he does not appear during these ceremonies,

1:46:10 what is the message that sends?

1:46:12 Erica, I think that is the most striking absence that everybody's asking.

1:46:18 Where is he?

1:46:19 What is the reason

1:46:21 that he has not made an appearance yet? Because even the head of the revolutionary guards,

1:46:27 Ahmad al Bahidi,

1:46:28 who had not been seen in public since his appointment

1:46:32 after

1:46:34 Ayatollah Khamenei

1:46:35 was killed, made an appearance at this funeral. How come he's not showing up for his father's, for his

1:46:42 own daughter's funeral?

1:46:45 And the only way that he has communicated has been through written messages.

1:46:49 And if this funeral is expected to project an image of

1:46:55 resilience,

1:46:57 strength,

1:46:58 and also leadership transition,

1:47:00 I don't think this messaging is complete without

1:47:04 Khomeini's

1:47:05 Mordechtaba Khomeini's appearance

1:47:07 during this funeral.

1:47:10 A little different message.

1:47:12 Of course, the guy Yeah. The guy may not even be alive for all we know. I I wonder myself.

1:47:17 Yeah.

1:47:18 Trump keeps saying like, oh, there was a bit of regime change, new people, the old we had the old killed the old people, then we killed the new old people, now they're dead, now we got the new guy.

1:47:28 So

1:47:30 Yeah. Kinda cavalier about it.

1:47:32 Yeah. Well, he likes killing people. I

1:47:35 have a,

1:47:37 kind of the religious

1:47:39 I wouldn't call her a nutcase,

1:47:43 but, this woman who runs Grace Ministries,

1:47:48 Amanda Grace,

1:47:50 has kind of a familiar I'm with her. Well, you will be after you listen to this. This is this is a rundown

1:47:57 of what's what's to come

1:47:59 after the July 4

1:48:01 party. Hello, everyone. Amanda Grace here. Something fascinating is beginning today and actually converging

1:48:07 with July 4 Oh, I have seen her. She has, like, a kind of a a small room that she's that she's standing in.

1:48:15 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:48:17 Everyone. Amanda Grace here. Something fascinating

1:48:19 is beginning today and actually converging

1:48:22 with July 4 that I believe we really need to pay attention to the fact that these events have converged together this particular

1:48:30 year.

1:48:31 That is America's two hundred fiftieth anniversary.

1:48:34 Let me explain. So the seventeenth of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar begins 07/02/2026.

1:48:40 Can

1:48:41 I just ask in advance? Does this result in, the rapture at any point?

1:48:48 I don't think so. Okay.

1:48:50 It's a Jewish fast day commemorating

1:48:52 the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the second temple.

1:48:56 Now it marks the beginning of a three week period of mourning

1:49:01 that leads to Tishba'av

1:49:02 or the ninth of Av. Now the ninth of Av begins this year, 07/22/2026.

1:49:08 It is considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar on which they not only fast and pray,

1:49:14 but they recognize

1:49:16 that very serious world events occurred on the ninth of Av. Some of them were the spies returned with a bad report. Both holy temples were destroyed. The Jews were expelled from England and from Spain, and World War one began.

1:49:31 America's two hundred fiftieth anniversary this year falls within

1:49:35 these three weeks of mourning

1:49:38 between

1:49:40 Tishba'av

1:49:41 and

1:49:41 the seventeenth of Tammuz.

1:49:43 I don't think that's an accident. I think we have to pay close attention to the fact that these two events

1:49:49 are converging within this time. You know what else is happening too within this three week morning period?

1:49:55 The Ayatollah Ali Khomeini's funeral, which happens to begin

1:49:59 07/04/2026

1:50:02 and goes to July 9. Guess what July 4 is on the Islamic calendar?

1:50:06 It is the nineteenth day of the first month or 09/11,

1:50:11 and it's concluding

1:50:12 07/09/1979.

1:50:14 1979

1:50:15 was the Iranian revolution. This is all happening within this three week period between the seventeenth of Tammuz and the ninth of Av. That's not an accident. We have to be heightened,

1:50:26 and alert spiritually,

1:50:28 intercede, pray because there is a profound reason this is all converging. We're all gonna die. Yeah. I

1:50:36 would've clipped that on myself.

1:50:40 Yeah.

1:50:42 Well well, I expect sir Brian of London to give us a full report and Oh, he'll he'll be glad to. Yes. And he'll let us know if there's any truth to this. But yes, we must be very careful. Be we must be on alert.

1:50:57 Well, I'm always on alert. So I I do have one ask Adam clip. Oh. Ask Adam.

1:51:02 Ask Adam. Okay.

1:51:04 I'm ready. Okay. Before we play it, this is a clip you wanna listen to. I want you to tell me what this is all about.

1:51:13 And this is the thirty second clip?

1:51:15 The ask It is. Ask Adam context? Yeah. Ask Adam context. Here we go. What is this about? Women's bodies have always been big business.

1:51:24 You know, you can go back to the nineties. There was an obsession around being as thin as possible.

1:51:29 Fast forward in the to the February,

1:51:33 you know, we we saw a lot of focus on having big lips, tiny waist. Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money making business.

1:51:42 Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean, strikes me that that Ellie Mae has taken on a role

1:51:50 as a money maker.

1:51:55 Ask Adam.

1:51:56 Ask Adam.

1:51:58 Will he know or really won't?

1:52:00 I don't know, but here we go. Ask Adam.

1:52:04 Ask Adam. Yeah. Answer the question. Go. Can I hear the last Can hear now that young girls Can I hear the last, ten seconds? You can listen to it again if you want. I think I need a few more seconds of this clip. A of focus on having big lips, tiny waist.

1:52:19 Now the focus may be on being young forever, but it's always been a money making business. Is the difference now that young girls are being monetized? I mean, strikes me that that Ellie Mae has taken on a role

1:52:33 as a money maker.

1:52:35 Okay. Can is this it is either.

1:52:38 I I I cannot is it a reboot of the Beverly Hillbillies?

1:52:43 Wow.

1:52:44 Is it? That's out there. No. Crack.

1:52:48 I admire

1:52:49 that shot. That was a good one. Is

1:52:52 he admires my shot. That was from half court. Shot

1:52:56 in the dark.

1:52:57 Yeah. I did a granny style underhand.

1:53:01 Is it about OnlyFans?

1:53:04 No. No. What? It sounds like it's about prostitution.

1:53:07 What it's exactly about and I took the it's an out of context clip, obviously, because I thought it was so fascinating the way they put everything.

1:53:15 It's about

1:53:17 preteen

1:53:18 online influencers.

1:53:20 Oh,

1:53:22 wow. There's a big trend This going is a report from, I think, NPR. Yeah. Or BBC, one of the two. But there's a whole bunch of these pre teen

1:53:32 online influencers

1:53:33 that are paid

1:53:35 to

1:53:36 to,

1:53:37 you know, promote makeup or whatever. And it's just like For for kids. Yes. For for kids. Yeah. The Sephora.

1:53:45 The the Which brings us to another kind of a angle here, just part of that clip. Mhmm. I have this Maha clip.

1:53:53 Okay. This is the Maha soda pop influencers clip. You know, last spring, something strange happened online I wanna share with everyone. The moment Robert

1:54:03 f Kennedy moved to pull soda off the food stamp thing Oh, this this this was a big to do. This is from several months. This is maybe almost a year ago, this thing that happened.

1:54:14 A wave of influencers,

1:54:16 dozens of them, just blew up their feeds overnight,

1:54:20 outraged,

1:54:21 all trying to defend soda, and I'm like, these are like dietitians, these are health

1:54:26 gurus

1:54:27 defending soda all at the same time within the lat within the same forty eight hours? I found that very odd.

1:54:34 Almost every one of them just happened to mention the same thing, that president loves Diet Coke. I'm like, oh, interesting. This is probably not a grassroots reaction. This is a a script, and if you pull the string on it, it comes out

1:54:49 comes from a PR firm that has been quietly texting influencers their talking points and offering

1:54:55 at the very bare minimum $50,001,000

1:54:58 dollars a post. I thought it was 5,000. But if you are a larger influencer, can get 20,000,

1:55:03 50,000, 100, 100,000,

1:55:06 even

1:55:07 up to 500,000

1:55:08 or more per post, and I'm not kidding. That's like a lot of money involved in this. So,

1:55:14 so there, and the problem is their posts are not mentioning that they're being paid,

1:55:19 so

1:55:21 unfortunately,

1:55:22 you know, it's like you got to be suspicious of these posts because it all seemed to be attacking at the same time. But here's what people need to understand, this is like the the normal now and on online

1:55:33 influence

1:55:34 is the product, You can buy it by the post, and the overwhelming majority of marketers now, run influencing

1:55:43 or influencer campaigns.

1:55:44 It's a multi

1:55:46 billion dollar machine.

1:55:48 Yeah. And I from what I understand after this came out that the most of these influencers were paid and didn't disclose it, then there was a whole wave of them apologizing

1:55:59 like, hey, I I I took this money, I really shouldn't have, I feel bad about it because they were all exposed.

1:56:05 Yeah. This is this is what hey.

1:56:08 The same way that they're paid to influence soda pop, they can be paid to influence elections, they can be paid to influence all kinds of things. Yeah, that's what you do.

1:56:18 And quite frankly, think that's our exit strategy.

1:56:21 Then we might as well just sell out.

1:56:26 Yeah. You know, I'm thinking we can probably do influence campaigns for

1:56:31 coffee,

1:56:32 for chocolate,

1:56:34 for

1:56:36 honey products. Honey honey products. Honey products. Resumes

1:56:40 that get results. I mean, hey, maybe

1:56:44 maybe

1:56:46 I should just thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the c in a 128 gigabytes of CPU. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only mister John

1:57:00 Hey, morning, Eva Sam. Good morning. Should see Boosted Graphite in the air. Subs in the water and all the Dame's Knights out there. In the morning,

1:57:09 I

1:57:10 gotta count you. Oh,

1:57:17 Fourteen seventy one. That's more than I expected.

1:57:19 On this fourth of July weekend, which I would like to remind everybody.

1:57:23 We're working. We're working. Fourth of July weekend.

1:57:28 I'm I'm working here. It is 10PM.

1:57:31 Yeah. And you actually flew to you're in a not even you're not only working, you're working in another country. Yes. At a in a different time zone

1:57:40 and I really should be here hanging out with my daughter, but no.

1:57:43 Sorry. I can't come visit you Thursday or Sunday. Sorry. I know I know I'm only forty

1:57:49 minutes away, but, know,

1:57:51 I gotta I gotta work. You know, we have a public service people Oh, you're forty minutes away? From Rotterdam. Yeah.

1:57:58 Oh, I thought you were staying in Rotterdam near them. No. No. We're staying in Amsterdam. We're right near the museum plane.

1:58:04 Oh, the Reichs Museum? Reichs Museum, the Van Gogh Museum,

1:58:09 the Stadeluk Museum, which is modern art. And then they have the Moko Moko.

1:58:14 And that's like they say they have a Banksy and some other stuff there.

1:58:19 I don't know. Isn't

1:58:21 isn't that Banksy doesn't have to be attached to a wall or something? Yeah. You have to take the wall down. Generally.

1:58:29 So no, but but it's important to us because we know that people rely on

1:58:33 certainly 1,400 people rely on us doing it live at this hour at this hour.

1:58:39 And we're happy that they're listening and they're probably listening at noagendastream.com

1:58:42 or on the modern podcast app because

1:58:45 you're just wasting your time with the legacy apps. You just first of all, you're not you're never gonna get a bad signal. You're not gonna go know that we went live.

1:58:53 You're certainly not be able to listen to the live stream in your modern podcast app.

1:58:57 And, you know, we have a troll room which is our studio audience, they hang out

1:59:03 and if you can't, even if you can't, when we publish the the show within ninety seconds because of the Pod Ping technology that all these modern podcast apps are using, and it's now it's we're decentralized decentralized

1:59:15 in this Pod Ping stuff even more,

1:59:17 and people can even participate

1:59:20 with a with a gossip listener.

1:59:22 So we are really taking the power away from ourselves actually. We're taking podcast index, we're going to decentralize that.

1:59:29 It'll all be in DHT,

1:59:31 which is distributed hash space.

1:59:35 So the whole podcast universe will be

1:59:40 distributed and uncorruptible.

1:59:45 And that will be the only media

1:59:48 distribution format of its kind that can do that. And we will make zero money from it, which is kind of kind of weird, but also kind of fun.

1:59:56 So I hope everyone appreciates that.

1:59:59 I know you do, John.

2:00:00 Oh, yeah. And

2:00:02 I think I should get a Nobel Prize. Always appreciate the not making money part.

2:00:07 Yes. You always try to tell me to to reevaluate

2:00:10 my choices in life.

2:00:13 So you can get a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com.

2:00:17 Now, we have made our own, speaking of money, our own

2:00:22 vow

2:00:23 to not succumb to commercial interests

2:00:27 and

2:00:28 only

2:00:29 work in a Value4Value

2:00:31 model,

2:00:32 which means we give you our full program, everything we have twice a week, the full Monty,

2:00:37 no expectations upfront.

2:00:40 All we all we suggest is that you think about the value you have received, can be, you know, would you please take the value pitch? Because I asked you to do it last week and I think you should do it again this week. You're pretty good at it. People are tired of hearing me say it.

2:00:53 You're good at you you but but it's it's just kinda well, you you kinda you you give it in such a way that it's relaxing. Yeah. Well, I need a second more I need a purpose. About it is because the idea is that we

2:01:07 produce a very elaborate product that people are kind

2:01:13 of stunned by how professional it is. Yes. And then we give it away.

2:01:18 And we just hope to God

2:01:20 that people make the realisation

2:01:23 that the reason that we're giving it away is because we can't do this any other way and be honest. Because if you ever have advertisers or corporate interests,

2:01:32 you have to cater to them even though,

2:01:35 you sometimes will do it so subtly you may may maybe make it sound as though you're not doing it, but you have to do it. You have to knuckle under Have you one way, shape, or form. Have you tried that new Coke Zero?

2:01:48 Yeah. Like that.

2:01:51 It's

2:01:52 delicious.

2:01:55 So there's a lot of

2:01:59 the the honesty factor, it depends on whether you wanna this we're the only podcast that that really does this well because we we're very sincere about it. Other people try to do the half baked value for value. Some people are,

2:02:12 are reticent about it. Some people are shy about it. That's the real problem. They Yep. Oh god, I don't wanna have to ask for money. A check. Oh, yeah. I'm asking for money, but then they go to Patreon. I don't want to yeah.

2:02:23 And they give 30% to Patreon or whatever. Yeah. They give a bunch of money to Patreon then they get a check-in the mail and then Patreon can cut them off. And and yes, Patreon yes, Patreon can cut them off and

2:02:33 Patreon, you have to have levels. They they kind of force the I don't think you can just willy nilly give any rando donation. I think you have to have a level. That's the other thing. We've we've we've actually

2:02:44 pioneered the rando donation

2:02:47 where you give whatever you feel like, you know, what do you think? Is it what is it worth to you?

2:02:52 Now the idea of course, to be honest about it, is that it maybe gives people the you know, they might get loose

2:02:59 and say, well, I'm gonna give them a little more than I normally If you got $50,

2:03:04 I'll give them 55. And people do Or $50.00 1. Do you feel I wanna get high on that list. Do you feel loose? 50

2:03:11 o five. That's a good one. It's a it's a super high quality prod you had me at super high quality product, really. That's that's what you have. A super high quality product. Every once in while, somebody will comment about it to say, how do you guys do that? You you don't you're not in the same room, you don't rehearse,

2:03:28 you don't practice,

2:03:29 and you're, like, remote and you go for three hours yakking away about these various topics and it it is smooth

2:03:36 and sounds like you've, you know, you've been doing it forever.

2:03:39 That's because we've been doing it forever.

2:03:42 We've been doing it for nineteen

2:03:44 years. If you don't have it down by now, you're never gonna get it down. So that's what Value4Value is all about. There you go. So you can support us in a number of ways.

2:03:55 Time and talent and treasure. Now the time and talent part is is critical to the model.

2:04:01 We have never called our listeners listeners or

2:04:04 as Rogan calls them fans.

2:04:07 No.

2:04:08 You you are producers. Everyone has an obligation.

2:04:11 And not everybody has a time or a talent in their in their in their mix.

2:04:17 Some people are very good. Well, it's actually interesting because everybody

2:04:20 has a specialty

2:04:22 and

2:04:23 that's why we have such interesting

2:04:27 boots on the ground reports from,

2:04:29 oh man, people in aviation, people in medicine, people in education.

2:04:34 In broadcasting. People in broadcasting, people in carpentry, people in welding, people in trucking, people in

2:04:41 can't name a We've got truckers.

2:04:43 Yes.

2:04:45 You can't name a vocation that we don't have someone out there who is an expert in the field and is happy to share their experience with. I actually got a

2:04:53 boots on the ground from the anonymous

2:04:57 air traffic controller

2:05:00 about that incur that almost incursion

2:05:05 where

2:05:06 we had one plane incoming

2:05:08 and the other plane took

2:05:11 off after like thirty seconds of getting clearance and so then the incoming plane had to do a go around and pulled up so it didn't crash into them.

2:05:19 Yeah. And I said, know, hey, I'm I'm I'm kind of

2:05:22 kind of disappointed that you didn't

2:05:25 didn't know, you know, none of our air traffic controllers wrote in. So I'll just read what he wrote in.

2:05:30 Finishing $18.81,

2:05:32 Regarding the near miss and ATC, these things in my opinion are a culmination of things all resulting from COVID,

2:05:39 where one to two year pilots were promoted after large amounts of retirements occurred through the scandemic.

2:05:45 Also during those years the FAA implemented CPDLC,

2:05:49 Controller Pilot Data Link Communications,

2:05:52 basically

2:05:53 text messaging from air traffic control to pilots.

2:05:56 Now with the recurring No Agenda topic of screens and smartphones destroying our younger generation's ability to do anything outside of drool and scroll

2:06:08 imagine a system where air traffic control and pilots don't have to talk to each other for a majority of the flight. Everything is done over text message. Click accept and the plane does it. This is true.

2:06:19 No one has thought through the impact this is going to have. When you eliminate the constant need to listen and respond in a timely manner, the result is delays in response and slower attention spans.

2:06:29 Quote, oh, when ATC sends me the next text command, I just push the button. It's noticeable. Pilots are slow to respond,

2:06:37 sometimes called three to four times before acknowledging.

2:06:40 This doesn't exclude controllers.

2:06:43 Making the job more efficient with tech takes away from what actually gets the job done. The God given ability to speak.

2:06:50 Post COVID freeze hires are unwilling to do the study

2:06:55 to study the point six oh, so post COVID freeze hires are unwilling to study the point 65 to know the rules. Not sure what that means.

2:07:04 So he winds up by saying, no agenda pilots, do better. No Agenda controllers,

2:07:09 pull your heads out and do the job. Stop relying on a computer system to do your job. Thank you for your courage, the anonymous controller.

2:07:18 Kind of a concerning note.

2:07:20 Yeah. I'd say it bothers me hearing it. Yes. So but that's the kind of quality

2:07:26 analysis you get on the No Agenda show from our producers. Now, you can also organize a meetup. There's a lot of things you can do. We do need to pay bills and that's where this value for value comes for, value often enumerated in cold hard cash. Don't send your water, your blankets, we just want your cash.

2:07:44 But first we got to thank a talent and that is the artwork that always gets attention.

2:07:50 We have noagendaartgenerator.com,

2:07:52 that is where you can upload your usually AI prompted artwork and if we choose it we're happy to give you credit and we thank Blue Acorn for making the traditional

2:08:03 kind of cheesecake y, although it it was in the classic style,

2:08:07 a classic

2:08:08 almost like would you call this nineteen sixties or nineteen forties?

2:08:13 This this is I would say pin up style. Yeah. So forties kind of Vargas. Vargas. Yeah. Varga Girl. Yes. Varga Girl. Exactly.

2:08:22 America February,

2:08:24 No Agenda. You got the Varga Girl, you got the Eagle, you got some you got a flag, you got some fireworks. It worked for us. And a lot of people had this similar idea.

2:08:33 If we go look at the art generator

2:08:35 to evaluate other pieces we looked at.

2:08:41 Let me see. We had

2:08:44 happy to we had the ferris a lot of ferris wheel

2:08:51 Francisco Scaramanga.

2:08:53 And an OVAG, no, I'm not gonna use that.

2:08:57 Was there anything else we liked?

2:08:59 I I don't think so. Not really. You were actually complaining.

2:09:03 Well, I usually do complain. I usually complain about the artwork.

2:09:06 No. This was good. There was I like the the

2:09:10 comic strip bloggers which was used in the newsletter.

2:09:13 The second iteration of

2:09:15 Happy two fifty with the roller coaster which was stolen from apparently

2:09:20 Ness works

2:09:21 who did an earlier version

2:09:23 in the

2:09:26 the timeline. So he re prompted wasn't as good. He re prompted an old prompt. Oh, this is interesting. I don't know how he how he managed to do it exactly Or the maybe Unless he fed the original art into the thing and said do it better. Or maybe they just used the same model and pooped that out.

2:09:42 Well, maybe. That's also possible. Well, Blue Acorn, we appreciate you. Thank you very much for for your support with the the time and talent you put into it. Now we're going to thank the financial producers who gave us their treasure

2:09:56 and we thank everybody $50 and above.

2:09:58 We do have some some guidelines

2:10:01 for ourselves here. We like to to read notes

2:10:05 and we read every single note above $200 guaranteed. We may pick one or two out under the 200 level and that's just for time's sake.

2:10:14 If

2:10:14 you're fortunate enough to support us with $200 or more, then not only will we read your note, we'll also give you an official Hollywood title of associate executive producer.

2:10:24 And those are real titles, real credits. You can put it in imdb.com,

2:10:29 it's accepted there. It looks great on your LinkedIn,

2:10:32 etcetera. You could say you're

2:10:34 an exec if it's $300 or more, can say I'm an executive producer of the No Agenda podcast

2:10:40 and I'm a podcast consultant.

2:10:42 And then you can send people emails

2:10:44 and and they will hire you. Haven't you haven't

2:10:49 you received many of these consultant messages

2:10:53 on LinkedIn?

2:10:55 You get more than you get a bunch of them. Yeah. My email? I don't know if you my email has somehow

2:11:02 they got my name off of a podcast list. So there's some hot list that is going around and it's just, I mean, you can't you can't They can't junk. Well, it's all, you know,

2:11:13 talk to this guy, you know,

2:11:16 he wrote a book like Tom Hartman. Yes. I forwarded that one to you. Yeah. I saw the Tom Hartman one. You should introduce I sent you back was in Yeah. Yeah. The great crash of twenty seventeen. The authoritative

2:11:29 Tom Hartman.

2:11:30 Yeah. I get a lot of those, probably ten, fifteen a day. And and they have pretty good subject lines. I'm like, is this from a producer? And

2:11:40 right you open up right away and say, it's one of those. You've got to you've got to bounce.

2:11:46 I don't know if your email system can do it. I know mine can.

2:11:50 I

2:11:51 know Google doesn't do it. You send a ring. But you have to if you bounce the sender

2:11:55 as though that they're they're that that email's

2:11:58 invalid,

2:12:00 You just it'll usually take you off that list, whatever it is. Oh, that's a good idea. Okay. I'll talk to Void Zero.

2:12:07 Yeah. He'll he'll get you bounced. So let's start with

2:16:17 quite understand how to listen to the show,

2:16:20 being 91 and all. But he was always so impressed with how aware I was of everything going on even though I refused to watch the news twenty four seven or even at all.

2:22:51 hopefully a son this time, is born next month. Oh boy. The due date is coming in hot, August 8. At the round table, I'd like Blanton's single barrel Kentucky bourbon and a large slab of raw salmon and salad to keep me from joining the triple bypass surgery gang.

2:23:08 I've taken John's tip and started taking magnesium to keep my heart in good condition so I can be there as long as I can for my kids and future grandkids.

2:23:59 Double up.

2:24:11 us losing

2:24:12 their donation.

2:24:15 So if you wanna raise your hand Oh, that's possible. Yeah,

2:24:19 I'm not sure what happened.

2:46:07 Same chunks of celery. Same globalist lard melting in the heat dome like it's part of the plan. Push it faster till it gives the whole country the trots, man.

2:46:19 Yeah.

2:46:20 They got the exact same recipe from Ottawa to Canberra. Even the paprika ratio is suspiciously similar. Open border onions, burn on croutons on top. Socialist mayo so thick it'll make your sovereignty stop. Heat wave hit it. Now it's turning into soup. GOP one in the potato salad got the whole party on the stoop. Explosive diarrhea at the two fiftieth barbecue, while the moderate potato salad got swapped out for the extreme version too.

2:46:47 Shapiro tried to bring a level headed bowl, little less woke, little more American soul, but they replaced it with the coordinated one overnight. Now every spoonful's whispering you will owe nothing and be happy. Alright? It's so absurd it's wearing a name tag that says, SIOP. Pushing the agenda one scoop at a time till the whole country's soft. The only way to beat it is to put out even more till the food poisoning's so bad they can't ignore the metaphor.

2:47:11 Same potato salad, same recipe worldwide.

2:47:14 Melting faster than the narrative they tried to hide. Push it faster, let the mayo meltdown commence. Support the show before the potato salad achieves sentience.
