We Need Memes!

0:00 Hit it, baby.

0:01 Larry Blytner.

0:03 Darren O'Neill.

0:05 It's Sunday, 08/02/2026.

0:07 This is your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination

0:10 episode eighteen ninety one. Is no agenda.

0:16 That's right. We are broadcasting live from just outside of Shirec right here in FEMA region number five in the morning, everybody. I'm Darren O'Neill.

0:25 And from the pretentious Connecticut shore, this is Larry Blydner keeping commies and creeps at bay with my gleaming scimitar of truth.

0:34 It's Darren and Larry. In the morning.

0:37 Yeah. I still can't figure out why you moved from one commie place to another. You had a chance. I'm not that bright. You had a chance to escape. What can I say? The

0:47 joy ride continues on today's show. Yeah.

0:51 Thanks to everybody who sent in the well wishes, and

0:56 we are trying

0:58 to do right by the show and trying to give you the media deconstruction.

1:02 We are not trying to replace Adam or John because we can never replace Adam and John, but we're Darren and Larry. Yeah. We're having some fun. I'll say that. That was a lot of fun last time out. Really was.

1:13 And one thing I missed in the troll room, and I think I said the number when I did the troll count, because it's like, plates are spinning, the Podfather makes it look easy. The maximum

1:23 number

1:23 listening live

1:26 was 888,

1:28 which is kinda spooky being that is. Yeah. JCD, everybody knows,

1:32 eights are magic. So Then why did he think they were magic?

1:36 I couldn't know, but they are.

1:39 Just stacked zeros or two donuts or what you know? I always wonder about that, why people

1:44 develop,

1:45 you know, an affinity for certain digits.

1:48 Your lucky numbers are your lucky numbers, bud. So

1:52 JCD

1:53 left a mark worldwide and if there's any question about it,

1:58 our first clip for today comes all the way

2:01 from Down Under and Adam posted this

2:04 over on the x

2:06 and the woman's name I've got it here

2:11 is Sarah Harris.

2:14 And man, Nick the rat was the first one that like, oh man, now you're making me cry again because this

2:20 is going to show you exactly

2:23 the whole

2:25 all around the world left by the passing

2:27 of John C. Dvorak.

2:29 This is quite embarrassing to admit, but last Friday, I spent the time crying in the work toilets over

2:37 a man I've actually never met. The last twelve years,

2:41 twice a week, every week, I've been listening to this podcast, and it's hosted by John C. Dvorak.

2:50 They're showing a picture of John.

2:52 Mhmm.

2:55 I've just been listening to this podcast for such a long time. It's become such a part of my life. And,

3:01 like, I've donated to the show. They don't you don't pay for it. It's all on based on donations.

3:06 And, like, it's got me through some hard times in my life, but

3:11 What have you been can't believe how hard it's hit me. Like, it feels like it feels like a death in the family. You know when people lose their minds when celebrities die? Yeah. I always thought, oh my god. I can agree. I

3:22 actually get it. I can't be the only one that's had this reaction to feeling like you know someone and that other person has no clue who you are.

3:31 No. So Sarah Harris, we feel you.

3:35 The outpouring from people saying just that and this coming from somebody that works in radio.

3:40 Mhmm. You You know, I don't think anybody that does this kind of thing where you're talking and you know, you're basically talking to a microphone and I'm talking to you and Adam was talking to John. Sometimes you lose

3:51 that you're talking to a a whole lot of people and you're making a difference

3:57 in what you do. So that was a beautiful

4:00 tribute

4:01 and

4:02 That was very nice. Really was heartfelt.

4:05 Yes. Echoing what you are hearing from a lot of the producers

4:10 of the No Agenda show. Again, thanks to everybody for listening

4:14 to Larry and I keep up this tradition.

4:17 And for the people saying Larry's voice is too good, I mean, you're probably right. Oh, keep saying that. I love it. More. Louder. Repeat, please. Yeah.

4:26 But it's as usual, the news cycle going on. The media is

4:31 Yeah. Is a little less than honest, and you brought a clip that is, more than fresh off the app. This is this is like this popped up, like, twenty minutes ago. And,

4:41 it's kind of interesting because

4:43 the, you know, in the previous show, you know, the, the doll of the day was, of course, Tony Fauci.

4:49 And, you know, his, his fans are still clinging

4:55 to his, to what remains of him.

4:58 And one of them obviously is, is Dana Bash, and she's she's kinda getting into it with Bobby the k,

5:04 Right? You know, just minutes before this show began.

5:09 Give me, but you're just you're talking about rights, and I'm asking about a potential public health crisis

5:16 that is that is coming. But I do wanna let's And one of the mistakes we made in the last time

5:22 was suppressing those rights so people weren't being heard.

5:26 Doctors who were saying you're doing it wrong

5:29 were being marginalized and vilified. Yeah. And Because because, again, I really wanna move on. But Yeah. You were saying you were yes. You were part of the problem. No. I wasn't part the problem. There was absolute

5:42 press malpractice.

5:44 We're allowing your Mister secretary

5:46 your job job is a fierce skepticism Okay. Court authority.

5:51 And you weren't doing that. You were beating on My job is also dissenting. No. Okay. Are you gonna you wanna sit here and attack me, or do you wanna have a conversation? I'm attacking me. I'm not you. I'm not attacking you.

6:04 Larry, we we've never actually hit this button for us yet.

6:12 Clip of the day. I don't care that it's the first one. Oh my god. Well, thank you. I feel so honored.

6:19 There there might be a show title in there, Darren. Press malpractice.

6:22 I've never even heard that before, but I love it. Oh, I love

6:26 that people

6:27 are getting a little bit more ornery with these

6:31 morons that are pretending to be the media

6:35 who never ask probing questions. If you ever hear like, oh, what do you make of that? You know they're morons. Of course. They don't know what to say.

6:43 And this reality of all though, how we were

6:47 Bobby the k absolutely right. They were silencing doctors

6:51 who had a different opinion

6:54 from the majority. That happened. And that's scary because how do you know if your doctors are right or the other doctors are right? You don't. They were silencing silencing everyone.

7:03 I was bumped off Facebook because I said things critical of the vax.

7:08 I was many of my tweets

7:11 were, were deleted, you know, for this violation. It's disinformation.

7:14 Disagreement is disinformation. We all remember that. Yeah.

7:18 We and you were,

7:20 suspended a few times as well from Oh, yeah. By the way, have to thank my wife came up with that clip, and if I don't thank her, I'm gonna be probably not eating for the next week or so. So thank you, wife. Well, that's it. You never know where the good clips are gonna come from. Know. Yeah.

7:34 And that is wow. I mean, I've heard

7:37 people like Rubio and Trump get a little contentious with the press.

7:42 Mhmm. RFK Jr. This I think was the so far my favorite. Right? He's got game. There's no question. Yeah.

7:50 Is the press.

7:52 So what happened was after the Fauci thing last episode,

7:56 I kind of flashed on this kooky idea and I wanna run it by you, Darren, and of course, Podfather and all our Marvel producers out there.

8:05 And, it's kinda like,

8:08 No Agenda has this very pronounced, I think, medieval component. You know? It's it's kinda like Ving Rames in

8:15 in that,

8:16 pulp fiction. You could get medieval on your ass. What was it the other show? Names. Yeah. We got knights. We got dames. Got barons and dukes and viscounts and magical swords and regal trumpet fanfares and and signet rings and ceiling wax, and it's all right there.

8:30 Excuse me. And I realized as I was watching Fauci

8:35 in that, in that chamber of congress

8:38 being

8:39 grilled, and I'd say grilled slash verbally abused

8:43 by some of those guys,

8:44 that this was the twenty first century version

8:48 of being pilloried, like Quasimodo, you know, being being towed around a town square, strapped to an open wagon while everybody pitches, rotten fruits and vegetables at them and curses them out. Right? That's kind of what that was.

9:02 And and must totally

9:03 deserved. And Quasimodo was a great guy, as we know. He's actually a hero, just not not attractive, but about the same as as that, knife eared goblin, Fauci.

9:12 So,

9:14 anyway,

9:16 watching that, I thought maybe maybe there's something there. Maybe maybe there's an there's an element or a feature,

9:23 that could be added to No Agenda. Something like the pillory pageant.

9:28 Right?

9:29 And so, my my first nominee

9:33 would be Bernie.

9:34 Right? I mean,

9:36 who's who's more cretinous and horrific than than Bernie?

9:39 That harp horrid commie fossil who just won't go away.

9:43 And Kennedy,

9:45 nicely, just summed him up nicely on the five but I I wondered, was Kennedy at MTV at the same time Adam was? I wonder if he knows her. There might have been overlap. Overlap? That'd be interesting to get his take on that. But here's here's a Kennedy summing up

10:00 summing up Bernie rather nicely. She misses a couple of steps, so and I'll I'll butt in and and speak when she does. Bernie Sanders, and I speak from experience here, he's like a woman in her fifties. Still super hot, doesn't care, doesn't give a spit about anything or anyone's opinion,

10:17 but he wants to be beloved.

10:19 And I look at Bernie Sanders like a cult leader because that's what he is to the Democratic Socialists,

10:25 because they are all in on emotion.

10:28 They they not only do not have a rational capacity,

10:32 they despise anything having to do with rationality because rationality

10:36 represents

10:37 objectivity.

10:39 And objectivity means math. Objectivity means black and white. It means binary choices,

10:45 and they despise that. Everything has to be subjective.

10:48 It has to be about your feelings,

10:50 and they pin all of that on their cult leader, Bernie Sanders.

10:53 And, you know, it's like say whatever you want about him. Sure. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's also got a massive ego on him. And he wants to maintain

11:03 his spot as the kingmaker.

11:06 Well, that's all true. And I might add, you've been railing about that for almost five years on No Agenda. They're all about feelings. Correct?

11:14 Yeah. Yeah.

11:16 But where I disagree with Kennedy is how does she know and people always do this on the right because right the right always wants to kind of take the high road and be nice. Hey, Kennedy. How do you know Bernie's

11:28 a nice guy?

11:30 Have you had dinner with him? Lived next door to him? She's probably never met the guy.

11:35 I'll tell you what he is. He's a gloomy creep.

11:38 K? You you wanna know what Bernie is? Picture this. You're you're you're sitting, in an airport lounge, little too early for your flight. There are dozens of empty seats around you.

11:48 And in the distance up the concourse, spot this demented vagrant

11:53 shuffling your way. Looks like a Muppet. Well, it's it's August, and he's wearing galoshes and an Arctic parka.

12:01 And he's mumbling to himself, and you're praying this guy won't come your way. But, of course, he does,

12:06 and he flops right next to you and says,

12:10 let's talk about oligarchy.

12:12 K? That's that's what Bernie Sanders is. He's that kind of a weirdo.

12:16 You don't wanna be in the same zip code as the guy. Right?

12:20 So Well, he has changed his you know, he was against millionaires until it was out that he was a multimillionaire.

12:25 Then he became against billionaires.

12:27 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. The the the m switched to a b. And somebody had a clip. It was too it was too too verbose and too

12:35 too much the same stuff, but they had him from

12:38 1983

12:40 right till the present

12:42 saying the exact same lines. Know, becoming a nice old oligarchy, oligarchy.

12:47 On and on and on. He never changes his tune. You know? It's pretty awful. But it's funny you mentioned the thing about his

12:53 his

12:57 departure from from savaging millionaires for billionaires because, of course, because Bernie is a bit a millionaire. Like multiple houses,

13:04 doing pretty well. Yeah. And here's a here's a terrific clip of of Dave Rubin,

13:10 Bernie explaining himself, and then Dave has some fascinating commentary after that. Do I own three residences? Yeah. I do. I live here in Burlington, Vermont. We live in a middle class neighborhood. Nice house. I mean, to be fair though, Larry, everybody has at least three residences, don't they? I don't. Do you? No.

13:30 Sorry.

13:31 I barely have one.

13:33 Me too. I don't know what's the matter.

13:36 Guess what? I'm a United States senator, and I So don't

13:40 there's a foot down. There's kinda in your face. Right? Little hubris. I'm a United States senator. Okay. Yeah. Guess what? Guess what? Isn't that rich? Yeah. Right. Right. So that means that you've obviously made money off the backs of

13:54 what constituents

13:56 you have.

13:58 And again, politicians that enrich themselves while in office, there is a long

14:03 list on both sides of the aisle except for some reason Lindsey Graham who didn't enrich himself. Which is shocking. Yeah. Yeah.

14:11 Think that Bernie suffers a lot from Fauci disease, which is Oh, yeah. Oh, he's in love with himself. Absolutely.

14:17 And he never thought his

14:19 little position

14:20 of socialism

14:22 was going to work. He's old enough that he's been doing this so long. He never thought it was really gonna work. He was just the crazy guy on the one side who was enriching himself while telling you, you shouldn't have money. Mhmm. And now here he is being questioned, and he doesn't like it.

14:40 Yep. Home in Washington, DC,

14:42 as do most centers. You know, you live there year after year. When I first went to actually, when I was in Congress for sixteen years, I rented all the time, but I got elected. Okay. Got a six year term. You know what? Let's buy a house. So we bought a house, and guess what? Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer camp. It's a nice one. Lake Champlain. That's it. Did you hear that? I have a summer camp.

15:05 Is that like a reeducation camp? Who the hell talks about a vacation and calls it a camp? If unless it's a tent on the side of the lake, Bernie or lying, that's not a camp. You know? But, again, lefties and commies

15:16 love they love the word camp. They really do. Yeah. Camp usually makes you think that there is a,

15:23 you know, a cult or maybe, something like that going on. Oh, again.

15:28 Yeah. He got elected. Okay. He got a six year term. You know what? Let's buy a house. So we bought a house, and guess what? Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, I have a summer camp. It's a nice one on Lake Champlain.

15:40 Yeah. I've never heard of anybody saying he has a summer camp.

15:44 Yeah. Is summer home? Maybe. Maybe he's having an aneurysm or something. Cottage. No. It's a I think it's a commie a commie word. It's a it's a dog whistle, my camp.

15:54 I believe it. Yeah. That's it. Now how did I get the money? You're right. I wrote two

16:01 bestselling books,

16:03 including this book on capitalism. It was New York Times bestseller for a while.

16:08 Okay. That is also very ironic that Totally.

16:11 As as Ruben will remark shortly. Yes. Incredibly ironic. I mean and this again says, you know, people think he's really smart. Right there, he's really stupid. Okay. What he is he's persistent.

16:22 He hangs as they say. You know, 90% of life is showing up. And that's what Bernie's done, but he's really not that bright at all. Well, yeah, and why do all these commies not give all of their extra money to the government? Isn't that what they want? Why not?

16:36 I don't know.

16:37 And,

16:38 also another book was a youth book. And that's Youth 175,000

16:43 a year,

16:44 and that's more or less

16:46 how I became the zillionaire that I am.

16:49 How did I make the money? Well, even though I've spent a career trying to destroy capitalism and I've got three houses and everything else, I sold best selling books. Of course, I guess if I thought about it for a little bit longer, I'd realize that selling best selling books and getting them on the New York Times must rule out. I don't think about

17:09 capitalism.

17:10 I

17:12 didn't know Rubin could be that funny. That was very good, wasn't it? He's entertaining.

17:16 He really is.

17:17 And, yeah, he picked right up in the irony. I I hate capitalism,

17:21 but I'm gonna use it so I can buy a vacation house on on the on the lake in Vermont and live with it. Being anti capitalism

17:27 is the stance

17:29 for everything that he has put out there that has made him money. Yes.

17:34 And he thinks that's okay.

17:37 That's the insanity.

17:39 You're not even pointing out like, you know, this isn't right. This is way too much money for somebody just to, know, write some words down on a piece of paper. That's not what Bernie's saying. He's taking the money. He's happy about the money. Yeah.

17:52 But he got the money because of a system that he hates, which And and wants to destroy.

17:58 Yes. You you'll think he's gonna give up all his money if the if the country if the commies win and the country switches over, then

18:05 you think Bernie's gonna give up all of his money? No. Well, I I think Stalin had, like, six vacation homes.

18:12 He's very wealthy.

18:14 And I you know, before I remember reading before Musk really became Musk

18:18 and before the Soviet Union

18:21 fell or maybe right around that time,

18:23 Vlad Putin was suspected of maybe being the richest guy on earth, like way way way back. He had I think he was worth like $4,050,000,000,000,

18:31 and that was before

18:33 Gates or Buffett

18:35 attained that that level. You know? So so those commies can they really gotta make it pay.

18:41 They do. Yeah. They make a lot of money telling you that this is a horrible, horrible system.

18:47 Yes.

18:48 Which makes zero sense. Oh, for them it does. Oh, yeah. Because they get money. Yes.

18:55 So that's it. Now interestingly enough, I found another dynamite clip of Michael Savage. Haven't heard much from him lately,

19:02 but he's gonna he's gonna talk about Bernie and do his impression. I'll let you and and the folks at home decide which is superior.

19:10 Sanders is the walking embodiment of the evil communist,

19:15 And that hand of his, that spittle hand let me tell you why we need to have a cooperation,

19:20 international cooperation on IT. We must have international cooperation with China on the thing with AI. And the reason we need to have it on AI is because if we don't all get together on AI, someone is gonna dominate from space, and we'll all get killed. So I think that we must give all of our secrets to China right away. And I tell you right now, although I look cockeyed and I look like I'm an old Jewish man who ate too much salsa, I'm really a communist man who should have been indicted a long time ago. Well, you guy, you're so stupid. Don't You even know I'm a naked communist. Well, he told that right now.

19:49 He's had more practice doing it. There's no question. Definitely better. It was better. I mean, Rubens I love the Rubens, like, choking on his own, larynx or something at the end. That was kinda cool. But a savage has got him beat on just a straight Bernie impression. Very good.

20:04 Oh, yeah. And again, this is the far right media

20:08 going after the far left. This is the ball game that you're getting no matter what. Yeah. And I don't know if anybody really wins because the

20:17 reality of things gets so lost somewhere in the middle,

20:21 which is what No Agenda kind of sprung up from the fact that you're getting this stuff here, you're getting this stuff here, how do you know who to believe? And you know, for a while it was kind of,

20:32 I won't say easy, but you were able to kind of keep score and fact check things and know which side is telling the truth kind of and which side isn't, but

20:42 it's actually getting harder.

20:45 Oh yeah. And harder.

20:47 Mhmm. And harder.

20:49 Now, the one story that I thought kind of exemplified

20:53 this better than anything else, I'm sure Bernie hates it too because money's coming into the Trump family,

21:00 is the truth social

21:03 API.

21:04 And

21:05 you know, being a guy who's kind of familiar with all this stuff, I'm like, this doesn't seem right. We just have a couple of clips on this. The first being from the senator

21:15 from your area, good old Chris Murphy. Oh, that guy. This guy can spew more

21:22 falsehoods and mistruths

21:24 in a short time than anybody.

21:27 I mean, right now, he I think he may be at the top of the game. May I add my specialty? He wears a rug. He does. He wears a his hair is not his own. It's it's like the lid on a coffee pot. It's so bad. We have learned this over the past few years of Planet Rage. Larry's

21:43 superpower is being able to tell if a guy is wearing

21:47 a wig or not. And that if you've heard all those,

21:50 the favorite John C. Dvorak clips,

21:53 You know, one of them was he claimed Adam Curry wore a wig back in the MTV days. What say you, Larry? I mean, who'd be on the spot? No. I know the real deal. And even that big hair, which that's an easy fake, you know, the more it is or it's, you know no. That's that's all his.

22:09 But just for you to know, mam dammy absolutely

22:12 wears a rug. Nobody knows that. And the look he denies it, Rand Paul. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I drive people crazy. They watch a show at my house, and I I freeze the damn TV to go stand up and point at the follicles and say, look. Here's the glue. Can you see that? You know? Yeah. I'm really insane about that. Are you happy this is your superpower, Ian? I am. Yeah. People hate me everywhere for it, but I don't care. I enjoy doing it. It's like a kazoo player. You know, you wanna get rid of them, but you can't.

22:42 Oh, here is senator Chris Murphy on the Truth Social API.

22:47 Donald Trump just

22:49 announced

22:50 that he is setting up an insider trading information

22:54 subscription

22:55 service.

22:56 If you pay Donald Trump

22:58 Okay. Again, I want to be clear.

23:01 Nobody's paying Donald Trump. They're paying Truth Social,

23:05 which Donald Trump has in

23:08 a trust his family owns

23:11 part or most of Truth Social, he may have the controlling still.

23:15 But this is not Donald Trump the person doing this,

23:19 This is an entity

23:21 which his family

23:23 has control over. Now there is legally

23:27 a difference and I think being a senator Chris Murphy

23:31 knows that,

23:32 But again, he wants

23:35 you,

23:36 the listener,

23:37 to believe

23:39 that Donald Trump is doing something corrupt. Of course he does.

23:44 Donald Trump,

23:45 a $100,000

23:47 a month,

23:49 he will give you early access

23:52 to the announcements he's making

23:54 regarding federal policy,

23:57 early access to information about tariffs, early access to information about the Iran war, early access to information about what country he's bombing.

24:06 Now I just wanna point out to everybody

24:08 that when he's saying early access

24:11 with an API into a social media platform,

24:16 He's not talking about you getting

24:19 Donald Trump's post and they're saying they're packaging up

24:22 the top 10 accounts on Truth Social, which I'm guessing Donald Trump has to be the number one,

24:28 but it's the top 10 accounts on Truth Social

24:32 that you will get access to their post. It will be fed to you

24:37 rather than you having to scrape it using your own AI, sitting, having an employee do nothing but sit there and just hit refresh on Donald Trump or whoever's post that you want. So

24:49 the reality on this is

24:52 when they say you're getting this information

24:55 early,

24:57 it's

24:58 hundredths or thousands of seconds earlier than everybody else,

25:03 not even

25:05 minutes.

25:07 I think that is a big, big detail.

25:10 $100 for for what period? Month? The East? Yeah. For a month. That's incredible.

25:15 Because AI baby, this is

25:18 a trader.

25:20 You know, these people that work in the stock market,

25:23 they have automated

25:24 systems,

25:25 I'm sure watching Donald Trump's post and if they see something that is, you know, good that oil is gonna be going up, well then buy this or sell this and it's set up to do it automatically

25:36 and in that case

25:38 being a few thousandths of a second faster might actually be a lot of money.

25:45 This is not getting private

25:48 information

25:48 that other

25:50 people don't get. But I'm still not understanding why anybody who's got that kind of money would figure it was worth it for a millisecond

25:58 advance on the knowledge. I mean, because, you know, who could possibly type in that bet to Polymarket or,

26:05 you know,

26:06 I stock don't or whatever. It's banks and stock traders that have this stuff set to automatically fire. So if you're the first one, if you see Donald Trump says something and you're like, oh boy, x y z corporations about to go under. Well,

26:20 you're the first ones to sell off that stock before everybody else does,

26:25 it's a weird world. It's absolutely

26:27 a weird world and it's hard to wrap your brain around the fact that

26:31 information just a split second literally possibly

26:35 under a second quicker

26:38 is

26:39 worth paying that kind of money for but it's also a

26:42 direct hose out. Anybody that uses social media understands

26:46 you are requesting

26:49 to see those messages and if you have a notification set

26:53 to

26:54 come out to you if somebody makes a post,

26:57 usually

26:58 that's not instantaneous.

27:00 You've got the post, it's gonna take thirty seconds or sixty seconds for it to even notice somebody you're following that you have a notification set. So it could be a couple of minutes later that you're seeing somebody posted it.

27:12 Yeah. This isn't the direct fire hose out anytime any of these accounts post anything,

27:19 it's going directly to the people that will pay.

27:22 And it is an ungodly amount of money, a $100,000.

27:25 That's impressive.

27:27 Per month. I mean,

27:29 bless capitalism.

27:30 Right Bernie?

27:31 Yeah. Next. This is a criminal syndicate that he is running out in the open. But it's not a criminal. I mean, I think eventually some of this is actionable

27:41 as far as what these folks say.

27:45 I I think you're completely right. And if I if I was the Donald, I'd I'd I'd back away from this. I think he's loading the guns for them.

27:52 Possibly. Yes. Just getting them to say exactly

27:55 what you know they're gonna say. Trump derangement syndrome is real. Yeah.

28:01 It is illegal

28:02 to make money off of inside information.

28:05 But this is an inside information. Everybody's getting it. This is just a split second faster.

28:10 So

28:11 it's not and again, so again, miss totally a senator

28:16 from the great state of Connecticut

28:20 intentionally

28:21 telling you something that's not true. The rug wearing senator in Connecticut. I'll to add that into his bio.

28:28 Of course, what he left out is, you know, let's not forget how

28:31 truth social was

28:33 established. Trump had been blocked from all social media

28:37 because they just didn't like him. So he said, well, screw you. I'm starting my own. And he did. So good for him. And I will also point out that has an API

28:47 very similar to this. Oh, do they? So I'm guessing that perhaps even the blue skies, I don't know. I would have to do a little more research, but I know for sure X has one that's very similar. This is for companies that want to get information

29:03 at a breakneck speed

29:06 where even the shortest amount of time

29:09 makes a difference. And for everybody using these social media platforms understand

29:14 that the way they survive is certainly not on the puny ads that you're seeing.

29:19 No.

29:20 This is how they survive. They have corporate clients

29:24 that pay big bucks for access to that information

29:28 and it's not

29:30 illegal.

29:31 It is not insider

29:32 trading.

29:34 It's not

29:36 what it's being portrayed

29:38 here by senator Murphy as at all.

29:41 Donald Trump is literally setting up a formal process

29:45 by which you can pay him a bribe

29:48 in exchange

29:50 for information

29:51 that no one else has.

29:53 That no one else will have for at least one one thousandth of a second. Yeah.

29:58 This guy's nuts.

29:59 Oh, he's, he's a weasel.

30:02 A $100,000

30:04 a month. Big billion dollar corporations have that money. And when they have advanced notice

30:10 of a tariff announcement,

30:12 they can place bets on the market

30:15 to be able to make millions of dollars. Well, ordinary Americans who cannot pay him for inside information

30:23 get screwed.

30:25 None of this is normal.

30:27 A lot of this is illegal.

30:29 And I will just say to companies out there. And I will just ask senator Chris Murphy, which parts of this is are illegal? And I explained what the legal

30:39 statutes are that you are claiming it's ill. I'd love. This is another tell

30:45 when people just throw out things like that, oh, much of this is illegal. Well, if you actually knew,

30:51 any rational person would be like, well, he just did this and this by according to this law is,

30:56 you know, against the law. But no, they never do that. No.

31:01 If you choose to take part in this scheme

31:05 and it proves to be illegal as it looks on its face,

31:10 you are gonna eventually be held

31:12 accountable.

31:12 So if you even take part, you're we're gonna get this again is the democrats way, isn't it? When we get back in charge, if you pay Donald Trump this money that we say is illegal, I mean, but it's not, but we're gonna say it's illegal, but then when we get back in power, oh, you're gonna be held accountable.

31:29 Mhmm.

31:30 Yeah.

31:31 That seems like a threat. Oh, it's always a threat. Right?

31:35 Yeah.

31:36 And this was covered

31:38 by I don't think he's listening live right now, sir. Bembro is his favorite

31:43 pundit

31:44 out there.

31:45 We may need a jingle.

31:47 This is the

31:49 left ist talking head David Pakman who's also been proven to be taking, what, $80,000

31:55 a month from some leftist group to I thought I thought it was eight. Eight o. It's eight. Eight. Maybe it was eight. You're right. They would he's not worth 80. He's not in the Trump league. Not yet. No. He he can't he can't afford the API access.

32:07 Donald

32:08 Trump

32:09 is putting the presidency

32:11 up for sale. Oh, how do you buy the presidency? I ask. And

32:16 Wall Street firms willing to pay a $100,000

32:19 a month

32:20 may get to cut the line.

32:22 Let me explain this. Trump can announce a tariff.

32:26 He can announce a sanction or a war,

32:30 and it instantly

32:31 moves financial markets.

32:33 And now

32:35 a company benefiting

32:36 his family

32:38 wants to sell traders earlier access to the announcements.

32:42 Okay. At least give Pac Man credit over Chris Murphy and the fact that he said it's a company controlled by his family,

32:49 not the president. Yes. Listen to this grift and corruption.

32:55 Trump media,

32:56 which owns

32:58 Truth Social,

32:59 has unveiled something called the Truth API.

33:02 And what it'll do is deliver posts from 10 influential truth social accounts, including potentially Donald Trump's,

33:09 to banks and trading firms faster than ordinary users get them. And according to Reuters, the company is looking at charging a $100,000

33:19 a month. If that seems steep, they've got a special offer. If you do a three year deal, they'll do it for $60 a month. Now you must say let's get in on that. It's only 60 a month. Come on. Pony up. It's a bargain. We can get Donald Trump's post in Yeah. Right into our desktop in real time. Yes.

33:37 There's

33:38 almost no one on Truth Social. It's such a stupid platform. Why would anyone pay more than a million dollars a year to see Trump's posts a little bit early? Because for high frequency traders,

33:49 milliseconds

33:51 can mean millions of dollars. Because these firms are using computers.

33:55 Everything is computer, as Trump says. These firms are using computers to

33:59 execute massive trades almost instantly. And so if their computers learn about a market moving announcement even a fraction of a second before anybody else, they could buy or sell whatever is going to be affected before the price reflects everyone knowing that. And that he's right about.

34:16 Mhmm. And the reality with the AI systems now

34:21 are that

34:22 these trades can be set up in a way

34:25 that are nearly instantaneous.

34:28 I mean, you're not going to have a human being probably

34:32 able to

34:33 do anything to verify that the AI is interpreting what is said correctly,

34:38 which also is kind of funny because I would think that if Donald Trump

34:43 has a typo

34:44 in one of his posts that says, I am doing something instead of I'm not doing well, then you can have all sorts of money get lost really

34:54 quick because an AI is not gonna be smart enough because they don't think

34:59 No.

35:00 To know exactly

35:02 what the original

35:04 intent was. So that could be something else moving forward that can be a huge deal. A typo now can be a very Sure.

35:13 That is obvious. And it could be a typo that's obvious to you and me and every human being that is reading it. But

35:22 will a computer

35:24 be able to figure that out? And this is where

35:27 I've been asking

35:29 for

35:30 years,

35:31 both listening

35:33 to Adam and John here on No Agenda,

35:36 doing the show with you, listening to, you know, Bill O'Reilly, all of these new sources, listening to these David Pakman clips,

35:43 listening to the Midas Touch guys. I know Adam and John played clips from them Mhmm.

35:49 That are

35:51 running

35:52 a nonstop

35:54 fire hose

35:56 of

35:57 lies,

35:58 misinformation,

35:59 and it comes on both sides. There's a lot of the crazy old right people as well that are throwing things out there that aren't exactly true. And I'm like, what is

36:10 the point of this? And yes, there's a two day effect which is

36:15 people are reading it and they are

36:18 getting spun up for one reason or another. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, but getting people angry

36:24 as we know gets people

36:26 engaged.

36:27 Oh, yeah. I realized that immediately

36:31 on X because I rarely

36:33 interact

36:34 on X. I'm like, it's kind of a waste of time.

36:37 But a couple of weeks ago, I just decided to throw a snide comment.

36:43 Oh.

36:44 I know. It's so hard to believe. I think it was at JB Pritzker's account or one of these type things.

36:50 And all of a sudden, my timeline went all liberal politicians

36:54 and liberal pundits. It's like, this is magic.

36:57 Yeah. It is. Those algos are pretty good.

37:00 The algos are real, and that's the today part of this, but it's getting more and more

37:06 obvious to me.

37:08 And thank you, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak for making my amygdala the right size

37:13 and always looking for the reasons underneath,

37:16 the reasons behind, the reasons in the shadows.

37:20 And I'm realizing

37:22 now

37:23 all of these things

37:25 are

37:26 recorded,

37:27 they're going down, they're on the internet

37:30 Yes.

37:31 Which is what all of these AI systems are using

37:36 to gather their information

37:38 to decide

37:40 what's real. And I think there is

37:43 a very big

37:45 possibility that so much of this stuff is being thrown out there because

37:50 the major

37:53 opinion that the AI sees when it goes to scrape the data

37:57 is going to be the one that it's most likely going to believe. So if there's like 50 people yelling Absolutely. This

38:03 Yes. Yes. Yes.

38:06 Three people yelling the other thing? It's like, well, who's the AI going to pay attention to? Of course. Of course. That's why they're doing it.

38:13 So this is why the blanketing of information,

38:17 I believe, is ramping up even more so Oh, yeah. Than it has been. It will be a constant avalanche

38:24 twenty four seven. By the way, I have some advice for Donald Trump in case he's listening because we do we do know that, you know, people do listen to this show. They won't admit it, but they do. Donate Donald Trump.

38:34 Yeah. Donate. And, you know, just make sure right after every entry you make where it says thank you for attention to this matter,

38:41 then your subscript should definitely be a disclaimer.

38:45 Truth social is not responsible for any financial gain or loss you may experience because because of this API. Know, just get that done. Get that done.

38:53 It is it's a very weird

38:56 world

38:57 where

38:58 you will pay that much for access to information

39:02 a split second sooner.

39:04 And you know companies are gonna do it. I mean, don't know if they're going to disclose how many companies are doing it, but I

39:12 would bet that's going to be a moneymaker for them. Could be, or could be a financial disaster. We'll see. Stay tuned. Right. And of course, there's a lot of with AI,

39:22 that is truly

39:24 the question right now. Is AI gonna hit a bubble?

39:28 I think it is at some point

39:31 as people realize

39:34 exactly what it is. And the whole OpenAI

39:37 getting out of the sandbox thing, well, was

39:41 the subject

39:42 here of a NBC News clip.

39:46 Well, let's break that down because you talk about this as sort of a rogue incident that has a connotation to it that for like I'm sort of like a self described AI doomer where I see something like this and I'm like, oh, man. These things are out of the box already. But what's the reality check on that? Well, let let me counter back. Okay. Also, horrible question. What's the reality check on that? Well, why don't we just go back and count the cliches he used in those three sentences out of the box? But, I mean, it's it was he's he's I wanna hear that again. It's one one cliche after another when when this guy speaks.

40:15 Well, let's break that down because you talk about this That's one. Break it down. We're breaking it down, everybody. Break it down. Of a rogue incident that has a connotation to it that for, like I'm sort of like a self described AI doomer where I see something like this, and I'm like, oh, man. These things are out of the box already. Out of the box? That's two.

40:31 What's the reality check on that? What's the reality check?

40:34 We we have no reality. That's the check. Sorry about that.

40:38 Well, let let me counterbalance then the the doomerism. Right? This is a a really exciting time. And and in particular, in our research at SentinelOne,

40:46 what we figured out is these new models like GPT 5.6 SOL and Mythos,

40:50 what they have is a new emergent capability to do long horizon work, which unlocks some very powerful things for cybersecurity,

40:58 for defensive use cases, and also for attacks.

41:01 But keep in mind, right, when you say something like these models went rogue,

41:05 that implies something that's it's not quite accurate. Right? They had turned off the guardrails. They had turned everything off precisely

41:11 because this is the kind of benchmark we want to run. They ran an experiment to see if they would go rogue, and in fact, did. Well, just to see how well they could. Right? That's part of the intelligence game is how good are they at finding vulnerabilities.

41:24 But those vulnerabilities were there to begin with. Which is something that you have not heard pointed out by the people that are trying to

41:33 sow the fear over this AI, which is this

41:38 wasn't really in a closed sandbox. What you're really seeing is that this was a

41:44 user problem. The company took, you know, they set this up in order for this

41:50 to happen. This all of these stories, including one of the earliest ones, which was like, well, when an AI was told it was going to be shut off, decided to blackmail

42:00 the,

42:01 you know, the coder because it had access to his email and it was all set up. Yeah. You know, it's like this is all a game and they're seeing what these systems can do and they're moving from being a one step AI, which is

42:16 the chatbots that you could just ask a simple question, it gives you an answer and then it's done. Yes.

42:22 These newer systems are set to kind of daisy chain

42:26 and can do multiple things,

42:29 which if you set them up the right way can be great,

42:32 but it's also I mean, I think most people listening

42:37 to No Agenda understand

42:39 what a script kitty is in the hacking world, which is Well, I don't know what the hell that is. I had no You're

42:45 an anti Ben.

42:47 I guess I am. It's true. There are already a bunch of software

42:52 packages

42:53 out there. There are resources online

42:56 which show you

42:58 how to be a hacker. So basically,

43:00 your hacking skills are you get a little app, little program from somebody, a little script and you run it and

43:07 that is the majority of what your hacking skills are. Now for

43:11 a company or a computer system that is well protected,

43:16 that's not gonna work. But

43:18 if somebody just threw something out there and there was no protection on it whatsoever,

43:23 the information on how to be a hacker exists on the internet.

43:29 So of course, an AI is going to have access

43:33 to that information.

43:34 And why do they call it a kitty script?

43:37 It's a well Is it meow? Can I tag It's a script kitty? It's a because this is where the real hackers would make fun of these low level kids that are using scripts. They became the script kitties.

43:50 Oh, kitty with two d's. I thought it was t t y. Alright. Yes. Thank you.

43:54 Alright. And I think this is a moment where we're seeing the emperor has no clothes, vulnerability

43:58 is rampant, and we need to figure out how to leverage AI in defensive ways in ways that are not obvious.

44:05 Who's the we in that sentence? Right? Because I mean, I covered congress for a long time. Right. Do you see the federal government or state governments? Like, is anyone up to the regulatory

44:14 challenge here? There's no such thing as there just being like a single body that's gonna sort this out. But regulation is definitely an important part of this.

44:23 Again, one that we need to be careful about because of the amount of fear mongering that's going into this. There's a game for regulatory capture. There's a lot of interests that are sort of playing in between. In reality, for cybersecurity,

44:35 what you'd wanna be looking at is something like software liability more so than a kill switch. Right? You need some adult supervision here, but it has to be sophisticated.

44:44 Alright. Because adults are the ones that know how Yeah.

44:48 What they're doing. And again, there are so many things

44:51 out in the wild.

44:53 Yeah. There is no way

44:55 to put kill switches

44:58 on the software that's already been released. There's no putting the genies

45:03 back in the bottle. Good. And the hell with adult supervision too. Right. Because, hey. We we've seen enough here outside of Chirac with all of the the Exactly. Teen takeovers, which are not, of course, mob actions according to the mayor of Chicago. Yeah. He was And what do your parents know where your kids are? They don't. Yeah. Sam Altman was asked about the safety. Of course, he's the head of OpenAI,

45:28 and,

45:29 yeah, he just kinda shrugs. OpenAI

45:32 CEO Sam Altman was on the hill today to preview their new business model their new models where Fox Business reporter Darren Batello asked him about this.

45:41 Do you plan to talk to the Trump administration White House about deceleration of AI development?

45:46 We I I wouldn't use the word deceleration, but we've talked about the need to pace it as the models get more capable, which I think is in everyone's interest. No. Could there be other systems that were hacked by OpenAI?

45:57 I mean, there could be. Yeah.

45:59 I mean, there could be accelerating. Is that is that correct? Or No. I mean, that's the problem. Okay.

46:06 You're dealing with something as I always like to harp on with a lot of these things.

46:13 Work on AI is going on

46:15 worldwide.

46:17 So if every company in The United States is like, Hey, hey, hey, we're gonna slow everything down by 33%

46:22 magic number or more. Yeah. Do you think they're gonna do that in China? No. They're gonna they do more with coal. Yes. And I'm in favor of that. Yeah. Well, what did I see the other day? We have, like, 600 years of fossil fuels

46:37 at our capacity, and so why are we worried? And that's just West Virginia.

46:42 Wow.

46:43 Yeah.

46:44 It's amazing. The the things that politicians do because they don't know what they're doing. That's why politicians getting involved

46:52 in AI is

46:54 somewhat

46:55 laughable.

46:57 The shrug that tells a thousand stories here.

47:01 This comes as more than 1,100

47:03 staffers from across top AI firms have signed a petition calling on the government to help deliberately pace AI development because it's just advancing too fast.

47:13 I don't know what that means. Deliberately pace. I wanna see how that's implemented. That's that's quite a statement. Deliberately pace. Okay.

47:21 Being that, again, we are in a capitalist

47:24 society

47:25 For a while.

47:26 That

47:27 the company

47:29 or the person, whoever comes up with the best product

47:33 is going

47:34 to make the money.

47:36 Not always.

47:38 But in this case Beta was better than VHS.

47:41 It's Well, you got a better picture, but you could put longer amounts You got of one more hour tape on it, but it wasn't worth it. It was crap. I stole the stereo Betamax somewhere in the basement, man. I'm telling you.

47:52 They were great for recording

47:54 concerts back in the day. Yeah. Yeah. But this is

47:59 a total

48:00 just

48:01 idiotic take that we can slow down

48:05 what the AI

48:06 is doing now.

48:08 I mean, you can, but again,

48:11 nobody else is going

48:13 to slow down and using these

48:17 alleged

48:18 the AI got out of the box stories.

48:22 It's not true as we have here from France '24. Wow, the French actually got something right. Wow.

48:29 They talk about how these

48:31 incidents that happened

48:33 were not

48:35 just AIs going rogue, but they were,

48:37 you know, more of a game that was put into the AI to solve a problem.

48:42 After two of the world's biggest AI companies revealed their models had hacked computer systems during testing.

48:50 Anthropic Thursday said its Claude AI model hacked the systems of three organizations

48:55 After more than 141,000

48:58 evaluations,

48:59 it revealed

49:00 Each incident involved a different fictional capture the flag scenario.

49:04 For example, in one, Claude played an employee of a made up company attacking that company's internal systems inside a private test environment.

49:14 The disclosure comes just days after rival OpenAI revealed one of its AI agents carried out a days long hacking campaign during testing exercises.

49:24 The company says the bot targeted AI developer Hugging Face and multiple publicly available services.

49:30 President, in light of advanced chat GBT AI models escape their lab and conducting cyber attacks, are you considering stronger controls

49:38 on AI, and would you consider negotiating

49:40 We're looking at AI. We're looking at controls. We're also making sure that we lead. The incidences come as governments race to keep up with the technology.

49:48 On Saturday, the president's AI executive order is due after federal agencies were given 60

49:54 to design a voluntary safety framework for advanced AI developers.

49:59 On Sunday, the European Union goes even further, enforcing most of its landmark AI act, the world's first comprehensive legislation

50:08 governing artificial intelligence.

50:11 Oh, yeah. That would got a fetish for this hugging face thing, Darren. Starting to worry about you. And by the way, can we get that funky music to play under everything we say? The whole show.

50:20 Hey.

50:22 France, I think they need that to make the news more interesting, but they're saying, hey. They're worried about falling behind in the AI. Well, no. Wait. I thought we were supposed to be slowing down the AIs.

50:34 And again, what the OpenAI thing,

50:37 according to a Wired article I read, which I don't always believe Wired, but

50:41 this was more user error. And

50:45 when this happened,

50:47 it was part of a

50:50 new system, not the regular AI.

50:52 It had intentionally

50:55 left the guardrails, whatever that means for each AI. It intentionally left those off

51:02 and then put it out there to see what it can do. And basically you were asking though,

51:07 what can it do? And the AI world is going to be

51:12 both great and horrible for network and computer security because

51:18 it's going to make it very easy to find the vulnerabilities.

51:21 With that said,

51:22 then the people writing the software should be able to

51:26 fix

51:27 those vulnerabilities.

51:29 So

51:30 is anybody out there cooking up a virus that will destroy AI? Because I wanna donate to their fund. If your buddy McAfee was still around, he would probably be doing that. Yeah. That's right. I would I would love to see that happen. It's really this whole AI thing is really starting to bug me, and I want I want I want there to be someone out there to to destroy it, to just immolate it.

51:50 Well, because it's everywhere. You can't call.

51:53 I called up Comcast.

51:55 My parents' modem blew out.

51:58 So I went in, got a new modem at Walmart

52:01 because I mean, screw Comcast.

52:04 And

52:05 when to go set it up in the old days, you called them up on the phone, you said, hey, tech support. Great. Real person. Here's the MAC address. It's done.

52:13 Yeah. Now it's an AI who says you have to go to the app. It's like, well, I didn't have my cell phone. I didn't have an app. I couldn't do it.

52:20 It's insane that you can't get a real person, but more and more, anywhere you call, you get to talk to an AI. Yeah.

52:26 And really?

52:27 It's infuriating.

52:29 The fix for that is there was a great sci fi horror novel, long time ago. I read it when I was in college.

52:35 I think the title was something like Telefon with the European spelling, t e l e f o n.

52:40 And the premise was some dude figured out a way

52:44 to rocket, like,

52:46 9,000 amps through a phone line. Yeah.

52:50 And so he could just call anybody and and blow their head up.

52:54 That's a great game. Right? That's what that's what I I want somebody to figure out that for for AI, and he can send it to one of mister Wonderful's,

53:03 data centers, you know, the one that covers, the entire state of Rhode Island,

53:07 and just boom. Up. It's gone.

53:09 Even Willie Nelson's against data centers. Is he? Good to know Willie. It's like there's a lot of misunderstanding there as well.

53:17 I mean, I really don't I'm just bored with it all. I'm just I'm just I'm just so bored. It's like, when will this go away?

53:24 Well, it totally destroyed any other news on the tech and computer.

53:30 Yes. That whole sector's gone.

53:33 Hard drives are out of control price wise. It's insane.

53:36 Yeah. My, some friends of mine from LA, their son is dating a, an an OnlyFans chick

53:44 who's she's, like, 21 years old, and her income is 2,000,000 a year.

53:48 Yeah. I can see that. And then she'll soon just, like, take a, you know, a video of herself and then just give it to an AI, and then it'll just make the content while she's off doing whatever she wants to do. Guess. Yeah. And and she isn't even allegedly.

54:00 I mean, I haven't seen it, but supposedly she's not doing nude stuff. It's just suggestive,

54:04 you know, bikini shots and so forth.

54:06 And so, like, that's that's interesting tech talk,

54:09 really.

54:11 Well, I I know sir Gene likes to get mentioned on the show. Mention him. He likes to watch somebody just do cooking and, again, no no

54:20 r rated. Just watch somebody cook. Does it have to be Russian food? Maybe

54:25 maybe it does.

54:27 But just a couple more little clips here on the AI. This is Anthropic saying,

54:32 it was a testing failure, not Uh-oh. Not a rogue AI. Just a testing failure. Warning.

54:37 God. Kate Rooney has a lot more for us on. Man, these stories, they they get me a little worried, Kate. I don't know about you.

54:44 David, it is the takeaway. I think this is adding to a lot of the worry around AI. And as you mentioned, it's the latest cybersecurity

54:51 issue in AI. Anthropic now says it found three cases where its AI agent Claude

54:56 accidentally hacked real companies during what was supposed to be cybersecurity

55:01 testing. Anthropic didn't say which companies were involved, but it does argue that this was an issue with the setup for these tests. So the AI model,

55:09 according to Anthropic, said they said that they thought it was in a closed environment. So they thought they were essentially attacking a simulated target. Turns out that was not the case. These were real companies. Anthropic does argue the incidents were the result of a testing environment failure,

55:24 and researchers basically left a door open and all that they claim it wasn't AI going rogue or breaking out here. Anthropic said they started this, quote, retrospective review after OpenAI's incident last week. They say they ran a 141,000

55:38 evaluations as part of that and then encouraged other companies to go out and check their own AI agents as a result. This was all kicked off by OpenAI

55:46 in a separate and, in some ways, similar issue just last week in Yeah. Art imitating life. Anybody old enough to remember the War Games movie with,

55:54 Matthew Broderick and Ali Sheedy in it? I remember the movie, but I never saw it. Tell me about it. It was I mean, as a nerd back in the day, I was that was the best movie ever. What was it about? No. It's a kid that dials in

56:08 because he has a modem that does magical things that didn't actually I like this. This is good. Keep going. And it goes and it looks for numbers that answer is a computer, and then he thought he was hacking into a game system.

56:20 It turns out it was the, Pentagon,

56:22 and he was playing with the

56:25 computer, the Whopper,

56:26 which

56:28 the WOPR.

56:29 I mean, not not a Burger King thing. No. Believe it or not. Okay.

56:33 And this was the computer

56:36 that the government was using to run

56:39 war gaming strategies. So it was, you know, one of these things where like, well, if we launch the first nuke, then this is what's gonna happen. If they launch the first nuke, if this happens, all it did was

56:50 the play by play in its imaginary world.

56:54 What would happen if all of these war type

56:58 things happen and what would the response be? And this was kinda like playing games of chess over and over and over again.

57:05 I like it. And the reality was this kind of sounds like

57:10 exactly this which is, oh, well the computer thought this was real so it was acting

57:16 as though

57:17 it were real. So maybe AI will self destruct whether it's sentient or not. It just seems to be attacking other systems and stuff. Well, yeah, the AIs will probably all end up fighting each other. Good. Good. I like Which maybe one will win or none will win.

57:32 And, CNBC also does talk a little bit about the script kiddies.

57:36 I know OpenAI reportedly

57:38 deactivated

57:39 one of the models, so that's that's off. But for an open source model, there's no telling who and where and how many times that model has been downloaded. So there's no way to deactivate it. There there's no sort of kill switch that that is even possible. Is that is that right?

57:54 That's that's absolutely right. And, what's more concerning about it and what this has actually done is, you know, our security programs were designed to handle the the normal amount of thresholds of hackers out there. So if you look at hackers, they're let's just say, you know, 98% of them are, you know, generally skilled hackers, but they're not super elite.

58:10 Well, what's happened with models is that now, you know, creates that 98% of just average hackers and makes them elite hackers, and now you have a much higher population of elite hackers that are able to breach systems.

58:21 And these models are very, very good, and they they have, you know, study offensive capabilities.

58:26 In fact, my book was, I I got a class action lawsuit, for my Metasploit book that I wrote, and, Anthropic used it to train its own models to figure out how to hack better. And so these models are really selective on offensive capabilities, and there's no way to track it. Anybody can download it. And literally, you know, you can be a kid out of high school that has barely touched a computer and just played video games and say, hey. I want you to hack this company. And if you have it set up properly, it'll start hacking that company for you.

58:50 Can you feel the fear coming off of those clips? Any kid just out of high school could just download some software. Software. Did you were there police sirens in the back? Okay. That's a good nap, Pop. And I gotta tell you, they used a phrase that just whip whipsawed my head with attention.

59:05 Okay. It's a perfect hit movie logline.

59:08 No way to stop it. When I hear that No kill switch. No kill switch. I like that. It it just as good. Maybe better. No kill switch. This is good. This is where I like to see AI going. Self destruction. Yeah. And I again, I know I harp on it, but the fact is what people are accessing

59:24 with Claude and ChatGPT

59:27 online

59:28 is available

59:30 at home,

59:31 on your desktop,

59:33 maybe slightly less capable of models, but you have full control. So all of this, oh, no. We're gonna be able to put guardrails on the AI. That is a pipe dream. Not gonna happen. It is more imaginary

59:47 than

59:49 reality. And there's one last clip here on the AI because, you know, if you're gonna use AI for something, Larry Yeah.

59:55 You may as well give it a really good use. Okay.

59:59 You've heard the term catfishing as popularized in the MTV reality series Catfish. Sometimes

1:00:06 a little bit of fiction Wow. Catfish curveball.

1:00:08 Leads to a whole lot of reality.

1:00:11 Where people craft fake online personas to mislead others, particularly when it comes to dating and romance. And now some dating app users say potential matches are enlisting the help of AI chatbots to help them flirt and communicate,

1:00:24 labeling it chatfishing.

1:00:27 The more I read it, the more I was like, this just makes less and less sense. This doesn't make sense in the context of a real human conversation.

1:00:36 27 year old Brianna Dobson says she was messaging with the connection she made on a dating app when she says the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay. I know. Can you imagine? The text felt off. There was a lot of EM dashes.

1:00:51 There was

1:00:53 a lot of very weird language.

1:00:56 And I mean, people, I guess, don't understand

1:00:59 that

1:01:00 your speaking and your writing has a certain style.

1:01:04 Were these one handed texts you think? They were. No, I think this was lazy dudes. Oh, okay.

1:01:10 Who didn't wanna have to spend the time

1:01:14 conversing with the women on whatever dating site this was. That's insulting.

1:01:19 And decided that it would just set up their AI, and this isn't hard to do. Again, you could do this with an AI on your desk

1:01:27 where it can check your emails, it can check whatever

1:01:31 and then respond. So it was just trying to get which is hilarious when you think about it. It is funny. Because you could have a conversation go back and forth and be like, oh, well, we'll ask her, you know, what kind of music she likes and food. And then, you know, if she doesn't match these three or four things, well then, you know, move on to the next one, but Coaster.

1:01:52 Right. But how lazy do you have to be for an AI to have to take over your interaction? Then how do you know

1:01:59 that the woman I mean, goes both ways. But how do you know the person on the other side isn't using, hey, this could be two AIs talking to each other. That's a cool concept. Uh-huh.

1:02:10 There's no I mean, traffic right now on the internet, they believe and it's so hard

1:02:16 to get a

1:02:17 real number on this, but they believe that bot traffic now

1:02:22 is outpacing

1:02:24 real human being traffic. So there's more bot This

1:02:29 was like when YouTube first came to be and they're like, oh my God, you see how much bandwidth YouTube is taking?

1:02:35 Mhmm.

1:02:35 Now it's all the bots and they might just be trying to find a love connection between the two bots, I guess.

1:02:42 When she says the texts felt off. I got a couple red flags from it, but I was like, okay, maybe this is just maybe they're socially awkward or they just communicate very formally. So I entertained it. And the second message I got was so obviously AI generated. So Oh, that would be that would be a really big tell for people used to using

1:03:03 text speak if all of a sudden you're like, yes madam, hello, how are you this evening?

1:03:09 Like, on. Suddenly it's Jeeves. Uh-huh. Exactly.

1:03:13 Maybe she likes Jeeves. I don't know. The second message I got was so obviously AI generated. So Dobson decided to call them out. The switch up was crazy. The the

1:03:25 just change in the way that he talked, and he doubled down. He absolutely doubled down even though his texting style completely changed

1:03:33 everything.

1:03:34 66 year old Lainie Reida says, well, she's found success in the past on dating apps. A recent date admitted during an in person meeting that they used AI to chat with her online. I thought it was strange as far as, like, I wouldn't do that. I've always

1:03:48 pride myself on being authentic. So if I'm gonna meet somebody,

1:03:53 you have to show up. You have to show up in every way. Relationship experts say that while chatbots can be a helpful tool for expression, transparency

1:04:03 is key for fostering genuine connections.

1:04:05 Be honest. You know, be honest with the person and just let them know that you are a little bit uncomfortable with communicating

1:04:12 and that you're relying on AI to help. But I feel like honesty is always the most positive because if you have to find the mask, the mask is gonna eventually fall off. Wow.

1:04:22 Wow. Okay. Is

1:04:24 that even worse, Yeah. It is. I think it is. So instead of just using AI,

1:04:31 not saying anything about it and be like, oh, I'm really not good at, you know, talking or communicating.

1:04:37 So

1:04:38 could you talk to this AI and see if you're interested in me? Yeah.

1:04:42 Yeah.

1:04:43 Too much, man. The world.

1:04:45 It's it's it's so sad. I'm so glad I missed this crap when I was dating and, you know, I it was so much fun, really, when I in retrospect now to think about walking into a some meat market bar, you know, and walking up to some babe and just starting to see if you can make it roll, you know. Nobody has that thrill anymore. I can't imagine stroking a phone,

1:05:06 you know, to meet somebody. It's like, what? What? How could I don't it's people. Well, it's leading to all sorts of problems even outside of the AI, but you add AI in

1:05:16 and you're just asking for trouble between the different scams. I mean, guys get hit all the time as women do too. That was the one story where the woman thought she was having

1:05:25 a relationship with Brad Pitt who somehow

1:05:28 convinced her to send them money.

1:05:31 Like, oh my goodness, this little phone in the pocket.

1:05:35 But a lot of this is going down to the

1:05:39 younger generations and I'm with you, I am glad

1:05:42 we missed this. Yeah.

1:05:44 I am glad we didn't have cell phones as kids.

1:05:48 The Brad Pitt thing isn't that

1:05:50 illogical. I'll tell you why.

1:05:53 I remember there was when I was living in LA, so before I was married, there was a

1:05:58 was a club a couple miles from my house called great name, the Pelican's Retreat. Right? And it was it was right off the Ventura Highway.

1:06:05 And it was some big mansion that some guy said, hey. We'll make this into a club, you know. So it had, like, a bunch of rooms and fireplaces and two stages and bands, and it was it was a happening place. Got a lot quite a crowd.

1:06:16 And so one night I'm in there, I'm bellying up to the barn, I looked to my left and who's right beside me, but Kelsey Grammer. Oh.

1:06:24 Yeah. The rare conservative in LA. Exactly. And this I think this was probably be I think it was just like a kind of a big deal with Cheers. I don't know if his own show had broken yet, or maybe it was early in that stage, whatever. But I was like shocked, you know? And and I'm watching him, and he's kinda doing what I'm doing. You know? He's looking around eyeing these chicks, and and so I struck up this conversation.

1:06:44 And then I said finally said, hey, man. Like, you're kind of a big TV star.

1:06:50 Why are you here? Why are you doing what I'm doing?

1:06:56 It's what works.

1:06:58 Yeah. And he says, know, it's it's not easy as as you might think. And he says, come on. You gotta you probably got a fan club. You got all kinds of stuff. He's not it's not it's not not quite like that. You know? And I and I actually saw him a couple more times there, so I knew he wasn't conning me. He wasn't Zooming me. He was actually this is his

1:07:15 it's what it's what it's like. And I guess that's true as well if you there was a great story

1:07:20 going back about, ten years,

1:07:23 and some like, I think she was a a phone sex operator or something,

1:07:28 and somehow she got ahold of the numbers of De Niro,

1:07:33 several big, big time movie stars,

1:07:36 and started just kinda, you know, audio stroking them.

1:07:41 And her name was something like wasn't it Minerva or Miranda? Might have been Miranda.

1:07:45 Yeah.

1:07:46 And I don't think that she was ever revealed who she was, but she she conned several several of these guys into, like, meetups and stuff, and they were, you know, as big as it got in Hollywood. So they're

1:07:56 You have to be careful who's on the other end of the phone. Now it's the Internet.

1:08:00 You never know. But this is a clip. Sorry. It's an AI voice reading an article, but it was better than nothing.

1:08:07 There was a

1:08:09 Gen Z study done,

1:08:12 and this kind of rolls right into that because

1:08:16 Gen Z is not fans

1:08:19 of going out to loud

1:08:21 crowded places like, you know, bars like you're talking about. No. And, I mean, you've got kids that are around this age. I don't know that what their

1:08:29 interactions

1:08:30 are and what they do and what their friends do. Thing, Darren. They don't tell me a goddamn thing. That's smart. As far kids, you're right. Especially with me. You're right. There's a good reason for their actions. Yes. You know, don't say don't tell Larry anything about what you're doing. No. But it's a completely

1:08:47 different world now than when you and I were in our twenties. Yeah. Yeah.

1:08:53 The Harris poll found that sixty eight percent of Gen z adults agree that going out these days isn't worth the damage it does to my wallet.

1:09:01 On top of that, sixty two percent of Gen zers avoid making weekend plans because they don't want to experience financial regret afterward.

1:09:09 Rather, they stay home to save money and use that spare money on necessities and bills.

1:09:14 The pressures go beyond finances.

1:09:17 Social experiences play a part as well.

1:09:20 Osiecki

1:09:20 said, quote, going out has become genuinely costly and the traditional social formats,

1:09:26 loud, crowded,

1:09:28 alcohol centered,

1:09:29 are increasingly unappealing to this generation.

1:09:32 The Harris poll found roughly nine and ten Gen Zers are actively opting out of nightlife staples with 39% saying they actively avoid large group hangouts

1:09:42 and 38% saying they avoid loud crowded spaces.

1:09:47 Instead, they are looking to make social plans that cost less and ask less.

1:09:52 Alas, these financial strains and quieter social life desires usher in increased loneliness.

1:09:58 Oseki told Straight Arak quote, this is the most connected generation in history, but also the loneliest.

1:10:05 That tension is striking,

1:10:07 and it deserves more attention than it's getting.

1:10:10 The Harris Poll found that more than half of Gen z adults experience weekend loneliness,

1:10:15 the highest rate of any generation.

1:10:17 Oseki said, quote, loneliness at this scale has consequences that go well beyond the weekend.

1:10:23 It affects mental health, community, civic participation,

1:10:27 and long term well-being.

1:10:29 Many members of the youngest generation of adults want to be social,

1:10:33 but they struggle to find social environments they want to be in.

1:10:37 In fact, eighty five percent of those polled have already found workarounds to be social at a lower cost.

1:10:43 Meanwhile, sixty two percent wish their online friendships turned into real world plans, and seventy one percent feel like they're missing out on in person experience that older generations had.

1:10:54 That's just so bizarre to me.

1:10:56 Yeah. I I don't know if I believe anybody named Osiecki.

1:10:59 I would I would advise those people to take the advice of the village people and join the YMCA.

1:11:05 Well, that was my question

1:11:08 when it because there there was a twofold thing that came out in this Harris poll, which was

1:11:15 pretty much the younger generation

1:11:18 doesn't know how to interact

1:11:20 outside of their phone.

1:11:22 Yes, that's true. And that they have no money to go out. And I don't know

1:11:28 if that's overall the case. I've got, you know, a few nieces and nephews and they're all doing way better than I am. So

1:11:36 I don't understand

1:11:38 who the average

1:11:40 there's

1:11:41 also a lot of things you can do

1:11:44 that doesn't cost a lot of money. Everybody gets together hanging out if you haven't if you live in an area where there's a nice beach in the summer, they just hang out and sit by a fire.

1:11:53 You know, there's a a lot of things you can do even if it's going to a bar.

1:11:57 Yeah. I mean, you could just buy one soft drink. You don't have to drink, kids. This is true. And I don't know what the cover charges are these days. They might be exorbitant.

1:12:06 Depends on the bar, I suppose. But Yeah. Yeah. I think they're blowing all their money on

1:12:12 expensive phones and and lattes. They should cut back on that crap. And their AI so they could talk to other people.

1:12:19 They're doing Trump's $100 a month. That's what it is. Yeah. I gotta get my information

1:12:24 from The Donald so I know when to buy my stocks. Yeah. Yeah. But I it it's I know. We're from a different generation, but Gen Zers, I mean,

1:12:34 write in. Let me know if this is really

1:12:38 overall,

1:12:39 why are the Gen Zers making money? I thought everything's great. All the minimum wages have been raised to $5,000,000

1:12:45 a year. I mean, it's

1:12:47 I'm

1:12:48 not really sure where the

1:12:51 big money part comes from. And then along with that, I don't understand

1:12:56 why

1:12:57 they can't find

1:12:59 reasonable ways to go out and interact that, oh, we we have we're we're afraid we might make a financial decision that

1:13:08 is bad. Like, what are you talking about? Yeah. Really? You're not investing in a mutual fund. You're buying a drink. Right. I mean, of course, sometimes the drinks are

1:13:18 are up there. I remember when we were in Ireland.

1:13:20 A

1:13:21 we were at a hotel bar,

1:13:23 and I guess Randy Travis and his band had just been through there the night before,

1:13:28 and they drank them out of bush mills.

1:13:30 Oh, wow. It's I mean,

1:13:33 that takes something. Yes, it does. Because I think I was ordering

1:13:37 for a buddy of mine that we're in Ireland

1:13:40 and,

1:13:41 like, oh, give me two

1:13:43 double black bush.

1:13:45 And then I got the whole story of how the

1:13:48 Randy Travis band had drank them out.

1:13:51 Mhmm. And I'm like, okay, well, what do you got? And he's like, well, we we we have the the Bushmills. I think it was sixteen year. Oh, or McAllen '24.

1:13:59 Right. I mean, kind of. And I'm like, okay, well, give me two of those. And the guy's like, well, those are like

1:14:04 €54

1:14:04 apiece.

1:14:05 And I'm like, I've never had a bartender try to talk to me out of a drink before.

1:14:10 So I bought them.

1:14:12 And yeah, because really you're there. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

1:14:16 But I've never had a bar that was the only time in my life a bartender's ever like, do you know how much that is? Thoughtful

1:14:23 bartender. Worried about your budget, not it. I suppose the Irish are the nicest people

1:14:28 ever. I mean, we haven't been there now in in too long. I mean, it's been, you know, fifteen,

1:14:34 eighteen years, something like that. Yeah. But that was the one place where if you were standing, it was really

1:14:39 a fun thing to do. If you would stand on a fairly busy street corner

1:14:44 and like look around like you were confused, it would

1:14:49 if you were gonna do that for longer than thirty seconds, somebody was gonna come up to you and be like, hey, can I help? That's true. Yes. Yes.

1:14:56 Like, that was amazing.

1:14:58 Yeah. And I I found they were they were so smart because

1:15:02 the average guy doing anything, you know, you don't have to find some,

1:15:07 some university professor,

1:15:10 wallpapered with degrees

1:15:11 to find somebody who knows exactly what's going on in the world. Guy's driving forklifts and laying bricks and stuff. Like,

1:15:18 in Ireland that I met there was dialed in and knew what was happening. It was it was it was pretty amazing.

1:15:24 Yeah. They do keep up. So Irish, we need more Irish.

1:15:27 Yeah. More of them. We definitely need more Irish. Now the other big story that has been going on

1:15:33 is these

1:15:35 I mean, I wanted to say the it would be like the Watergate. I'm like putting out Watergate's already a thing. So it's like Water Hacking Gate, I guess. Water Hacking Gate. Oh, yeah. You haven't heard about this? This No. Is

1:15:46 very interesting. A bunch of

1:15:49 water treatment plants

1:15:51 in Minnesota.

1:15:53 I mean,

1:15:54 Oh, stop right there. Imagine. I mean, how how do you think things can go wrong in Minnesota? Right? I mean, it's got such great leadership with Timmy Walls and

1:16:05 but here's a basic breakdown from ABC News on what happened.

1:16:11 This morning, the FBI and EPA out with a warning to water and wastewater facilities,

1:16:16 alerting them to a surge in cyber attacks. Companies in at least seven states now reporting incidents to federal authorities.

1:16:23 Some of the operations affected according to the FBI include flooding and loss of pressure, which could potentially allow untreated groundwater to seep into pipes. The warning comes amid a wide scale cyber attack targeting more than 30 water treatment systems in Minnesota.

1:16:38 Authorities have not yet identified who is responsible for the Minnesota attack, but sources tell us a number of officials suspect Iran linked hackers may be involved. Okay. Now remember now remember that because then we're gonna find out linked.

1:16:51 We're gonna find out why they think that. So just remember, these are the stories that everybody thinks it could be Iran

1:16:58 linked hackers that are going after

1:17:01 these water treatment plants and water facilities

1:17:05 in

1:17:06 Minnesota,

1:17:06 and then there were a few other states that were mentioned

1:17:09 as well.

1:17:10 In one case, the hackers were able to actually shut down the flow of water from the well and water treatment plant in the tiny city of Brom, forcing officials to provide clean water to residents already stored in its water tower. In a statement, the city says it was informed

1:17:26 that there were at least four other communities attacked with the same result. The city of Maple Plain declaring a local emergency that was in effect for two days, and the city of Plymouth also affected.

1:17:38 One reason officials are suspicious of Iranian involvement, so far, the hackers are not asking for ransom money. Instead, they appear to be trying to deny service. Rebecca?

1:17:49 Yeah. That's the what is the, smoking gun, you might ask Larry, why? Smoking gun. What is it? They didn't ask for any ransom. That's the reason why we think it's Iran.

1:18:00 I thought this was going to solve the explosive diarrhea

1:18:03 syndrome.

1:18:05 But No. But, I mean, really, they could get access to it. This Yeah. This shows also

1:18:11 the insanity

1:18:12 of governments,

1:18:14 especially local governments

1:18:16 that want things to be

1:18:19 super convenient

1:18:21 and wire up all of these types of resources

1:18:25 to the Internet. I mean, we've had water treatment plants in all of this long before the Internet existed.

1:18:32 So why

1:18:34 are you hooking them up to the Internet? Well, so Joe could sit at home and know if something goes wrong, I guess. Don't worry. Once AIs run-in the water, it'll all be fine, Darren. So just

1:18:44 chill out, baby. We need water AIs. That's what we need. Yeah.

1:18:48 Yeah. But Donald Trump not buying that it's Iranian hackers. I I'm not either. But Can you rule out that Iran is behind that cyberattack? Thank Thank you. And

1:18:57 do you like the question again? Thank you, mainstream media. Can you rule out

1:19:02 that Iran's behind it? No. But I can't rule out that you're behind it either. So

1:19:07 welcome to America, baby.

1:19:09 I don't think No. I think Minnesota

1:19:12 is behind it. Do know who's behind it? Minnesota because it mostly in Tampa, Tim. Yeah. Right. Because it's so badly run as a state.

1:19:22 Mhmm.

1:19:23 And he has a valid point there again. You wanna go right back to what we were talking about with the script kitties in AI right now?

1:19:32 This is the perfect time for people that want to be

1:19:36 wannabe hackers that can do things that they wouldn't have been able to do without the resources that they have now.

1:19:44 And attacking something like a water plant would be one of those things. And again, why is it hooked up to the Internet? Who knows? Yeah. If I wanna do something smart, dose it with LSD. That'll get some interest interesting results. They've tried that before, haven't they? I was in a movie called, I forget what it was called, but, yeah, it was it worked out well in the movie. It was crazy. Fiction,

1:20:04 reality. It's all the same, Larry. It is. Yeah. Confident. I think the governor's I

1:20:09 don't think there was an Iranian

1:20:11 cyber attack. I think that,

1:20:13 Minnesota ought to get its act together. It's one of the worst run states. JD will tell you. He found tremendous corruption in Minnesota. Yes, And by the way, just gave me a report. Massive

1:20:25 massive future things having to do with corruption in Minnesota are happening right now. Thank I like JD. He is the ultimate yes man. He's standing right there. JD, I'll tell you. Yes, sir. And it's too damn cold. In Minnesota. Yeah. Don't like it. And do you really I mean, why

1:20:42 would you think

1:20:44 that

1:20:45 hackers, if they were state sponsored hackers in Iran,

1:20:50 why are you just going after small town

1:20:53 water supplies

1:20:55 across the EU? I mean, wouldn't you be looking for something a little bit bigger than that? Maybe they should look into the Somali fraudsters. Maybe they got a, you know, some kind of a scam going there. That's way more likely. Although then they would be requesting Bitcoin or something like that in order to return

1:21:10 your service back to its fully functioning state.

1:21:14 This is a Fox News, of course, on the same story.

1:21:18 The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty. For years, Iran has targeted US water systems with limited success. But the mayor of Brom, Minnesota says starting on Monday, the plant operator realized that the big tower was calling for more water, but the well was not cooperating.

1:21:33 They realized the machinery was receiving power, just not doing what it was supposed to do. So they investigated and found four neighboring,

1:21:40 systems were experiencing the same problem. Plant operators restored backup and overrode systems manually. Ultimately, 30 communities were affected, but the disruption to water systems was minimal. Investigators haven't released many details about the suspected cyber attack, but they say the timing, the method, the access, and targets are all very similar to what they've seen from Iran before. Now with aging security technology, the mayor says whatever happened should serve as a wake up call. That investment is needed, and the cyber experts agree with him. Now one of the reasons investigators are leaning toward the conclusion that hackers are state actors bent on destruction,

1:22:16 no one demanded a ransom, and as you sometimes see that when a large system comes under attack. Now the FBI has confirmed that the bureau is aware of the incident and is in contact with the victims to resolve the matter.

1:22:28 Okay. So what did we learn in that news report? Nothing.

1:22:31 State actors.

1:22:32 Because they didn't ask for any money. That's the only re

1:22:36 across the board, the only reason we've been given,

1:22:40 at least that I found,

1:22:41 is,

1:22:42 well, they haven't asked for any money. So we have to believe that it's state actors and well, I mean, who else besides Iran would

1:22:51 even though they started out with Iran's

1:22:53 been trying to do this, what was his exact wording here at the beginning? The work of Iranian hackers, but they can't say that with certainty. For years, Iran has targeted US water systems with limited success. Okay. So it's been years that they've had limited success, but now

1:23:08 Yeah. I mean, maybe they have Iran AI, and that's now making their job easier for them. But for years, they have been unsuccessful

1:23:15 at trying to do this, but now

1:23:18 because nobody asked for

1:23:21 a ransom,

1:23:23 that's their reasoning. I I don't buy it. Well, I just hope they're more successful because I like seeing Minnesota suffer.

1:23:30 So

1:23:31 And it's like everything that is state run, everything

1:23:35 that is run by small towns,

1:23:38 be very careful if it's connected to the Internet. Make sure

1:23:41 I mean, your IT guy knows change that from admin password, you know, the default admin and password. Yeah. You wanna change that to something. 1234.

1:23:51 Yes. That's very secure.

1:23:53 Do that.

1:23:54 12345,

1:23:56 way more secure. Yeah. I got it. They're safe now. Exactly. Now where do you wanna go next?

1:24:02 Oh god. Let me see. Oh, I gotta hear something. This

1:24:06 is this is fun. There's

1:24:08 a

1:24:09 there's a guy that's running in Michigan,

1:24:12 not too far from you,

1:24:14 for senatorial seat,

1:24:16 and his name is Abdul El Syed. Have you heard of this guy? Yes. Yes. Okay. And he's getting a lot of press.

1:24:24 And he is, he's a very scary character,

1:24:28 and,

1:24:29 there's this this clip has kind of been released again

1:24:32 released and wasn't meant to be public,

1:24:35 and it was him talking with some pinhead,

1:24:38 lefty vocal fry chick in the senate

1:24:41 about his plans.

1:24:42 So it's a it's a two stage clip, and the first one, you've gotta listen to this, this broad,

1:24:49 vocalize before we get to Abdul.

1:24:52 And it's it's pretty it's funny. She's funny, but when we get to him, he's not funny.

1:24:57 He's scary.

1:24:59 Yeah. Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Prerna. I am a environmental staff er, in the senate, so very much looking forward to, hopefully having having you in in the halls of the senate and,

1:25:10 on the senate environmental justice caucus, which runs in one the senate Environmental

1:25:14 justice.

1:25:16 You gotta have justice. You gotta have justice. Those clouds, the rain, the snow, we have to justify them.

1:25:23 On the senate environmental justice caucus, which one of staff leads,

1:25:27 I guess my question, and this is getting a little bit ahead, of course, but, you know,

1:25:31 even

1:25:33 if things go very well in November, we're still looking at two more years of a of a republican presidency. And I'm curious, you know, I I think,

1:25:41 you know, all reading your platform on on climate environment, these are all the right things that we should be doing, codifying the endangerment finding, but we're not gonna have the chance to do that for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues that's evolving. You hear that? Your role. Nobody has a job anymore, Darren. It's your role. We're all actors,

1:26:00 all of us.

1:26:01 We have roles.

1:26:03 Buddy, the last time I went in

1:26:05 to see my cardiologist,

1:26:08 the after

1:26:09 getting the the best EKG the woman had ever seen Yes.

1:26:13 She said that your health care provider will be in shortly instead of the doctor will see you. Your provide I don't even think she said health care. I think she just said, you know, your provider. Provider. Yeah. I should have gotten up and ran right at that point. Oh, I'm so with you, man. Absolutely.

1:26:27 Yeah. Like, it's very much out of a dystopian kind of novel.

1:26:31 It's Orwellian. It absolutely is. And so this this broad, you can hear her just prattle on, and she she does with so many she should actually be in the mainstream media because she asks a question, but she can't shut her mouth. So she kind of answers it herself before he can.

1:26:47 You know, I'm I'm not gonna bless anybody for talking too much, bloviating or whatever blathering this. I mean,

1:26:53 pot kettle that whole thing, but otherwise.

1:26:56 To be doing codifying the endangerment finding, but we're not gonna have the chance to do that for a couple more years. I'm curious how you see your role on environmental issues or sort of all the issues that we're that we're, you know, facing more broadly,

1:27:07 going into the next two years of the Trump administration. How do you sort of plan how how do you envision yourself using your voice

1:27:13 at a time when, unfortunately, you're not gonna get any policy over the finish line? I mean, the the the best case situation is that we don't get much policy over the finish line. Shut up, lady. I mean, I've lost up. Do you believe this? Let me ask you a question. Let me answer it for twenty minutes.

1:27:27 I've lost the question. She said so many things since the question. I've lost the question. Exactly. Now listen to his reply,

1:27:35 Darren, and especially

1:27:37 his,

1:27:38 his kickoff or his him speaking when he says,

1:27:42 very fun. This is funny. Situation is that we don't get much policy with the finish line because it's inevitably gonna be mostly bad. So I'm just curious how you see how you see sort of your role over the next couple of years in the senate. Yeah. So first, thank you for your work, and I hope we get to work together. That would be very fun.

1:27:57 Very fun. That's that was so heartfelt. It's gonna be very fun. Yes. Yes. Thank you for all of your work. Yes. Fun. Very fun. Yeah. Very fun. Now before he starts, this this guy is he's he he is a absolute you you know him, but maybe others do not. He is, like, a twin brother clone

1:28:15 of Mam Dame. I mean, they have very similar faces.

1:28:19 And as he's whenever he speaks, as he speaks, he has a constant

1:28:23 smile

1:28:24 glued onto his face.

1:28:27 No matter what it's not like a natural looking smile. No. No. It's completely rehearsed and trained and fake. I mean, somebody could say it be saying, you know, five minutes ago, you swallowed an explosive capsule,

1:28:38 and in ninety seconds, your guts are gonna be sprayed across the wall. And the

1:28:42 smile wouldn't move. I mean, this this guy is a sick boy.

1:28:45 And so I did a little digging on him, and,

1:28:48 here's some of his bona bonafides. In 2014, he completed a doctor of medicine degree at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons

1:28:57 and was funded

1:28:59 by a

1:29:00 Paul and Daisy Soros

1:29:02 Oh. Ownership.

1:29:04 Yeah. For the New Americans in Medical Scientist Training Program.

1:29:08 Elseid did not pursue a medical license instead went into public health epidemiology

1:29:13 work. So he's exactly like

1:29:15 Tony Fauci. I'm a doctor, but I never practiced medicine

1:29:20 because there's more bucks in power in being a bureaucrat.

1:29:24 I mean, I can't blame him for that, but yes. Yeah. It means you don't trust him.

1:29:30 Not at all. Not for a second.

1:29:32 So,

1:29:33 clip five here is Abdul El Sayad meaning ventriloquist. Now what this guy is saying is actually chilling when you hear what he's what he's saying. It's it's mind blowing. I heard this. Like, what what? And the reason this was this was actually I got this off of Politico. Right? And their only beef about it was his last words when he's he's talking about flipping or or primarying

1:29:56 Fetterman. Right? And he referred to Fetterman as putting, an ogre on a pike.

1:30:03 Okay? And so some of the the the,

1:30:05 middle dems

1:30:06 said, you can't talk like that. But that's like that's like nothing compared to what preceded that. What he the way this guy is speaking is like he's literally a kingmaker. This is very scary. I get to then start paving the pathway

1:30:20 for 2028 and who will be the next president.

1:30:24 And so part of what I need to do is understand that

1:30:27 this job is not just about what you can do in terms of your investigatory power, of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power is also your power. Well,

1:30:36 it's all about power. It's about power. You can't stop listing those powers.

1:30:40 Yeah. Of course, your legislative power or your confirmatory power is also your platform power. So how do I start telling the story and and and and paving out the pathway

1:30:50 for

1:30:51 what the next president should sound like? Stop.

1:30:54 Now wait a minute. This guy is running for senator,

1:30:57 and he's he's dictating how a president

1:31:00 is going to sound. Did we hear that correctly, Darren? Yeah. Because they gotta get more commies in office. Yeah.

1:31:07 I think that's what they're kinda going for. Yeah. And they understand that their little movement

1:31:13 Mhmm. Which is quite the scary movement,

1:31:16 is gaining traction

1:31:19 somehow even though the polling that we're seeing

1:31:23 says people don't agree with what they're actually saying, which again shows you

1:31:28 this is all because Donald Trump and they've been able to demonize him to such a point that they're willing to, you know, just accept anybody

1:31:37 as as long as they're fighting Donald Trump.

1:31:39 Mhmm.

1:31:40 Because of what I'm advocating for. Right, and how I talk about this. A lot of what I'm trying to do in this race right now, and then, you know, if I win,

1:31:48 is to offer

1:31:50 compelling

1:31:51 ways

1:31:52 or offer sort of memes that people Memes. Wait. Wait. Wait. He's

1:31:57 he's offering meat. This is politics now. This is politics now, and he's gonna repeat this. He's the meme he's the meme ventriloquist.

1:32:05 That's who this candidate is.

1:32:07 They understand

1:32:09 that the society of The United States

1:32:13 has gotten so

1:32:16 disconnected,

1:32:17 so out of touch

1:32:19 that they don't pay attention to real news.

1:32:22 Correct.

1:32:23 So memes are gonna be the way

1:32:26 to win the presidency. They may not be wrong, sadly. They're not wrong at all.

1:32:31 Compelling ways

1:32:33 or offer sort of memes that people can pick up who are running for president to sound

1:32:38 like we need them to sound. So There you go. Sound like we need them to sound.

1:32:44 Not have the right ideas.

1:32:46 No. Policy, ideas, nothing. Just just parrot the crap we give you. Hey. And God bless No Agenda. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid any attention back in the day when AOC, the bartender

1:32:59 Yeah.

1:32:59 Just answered a casting call. Mhmm. It's like you have to know what you're dealing with. You have to know who you're voting for. You have to understand

1:33:09 what they want because these people, a lot of them now, they're telling you exactly what they want. Yeah. And think about it. This guy, I mean, he's running for senate in in Michigan.

1:33:19 And when you hear what he's saying, you realize

1:33:23 he's he's not riffing. He's not pulling this out of his butt.

1:33:26 This is this is something that's probably spread, you know, far and wide by Soros people and whomever else. You know, this this is the way they're thinking. They're telling this guy, you're you're gonna determine how the next president

1:33:38 sounds.

1:33:39 Woah.

1:33:40 Woah.

1:33:41 Very scary. It's a lot of power for a guy running for office. Yes. Running. Mhmm.

1:33:48 Like I told you, like, my principal job is to be able to translate

1:33:52 a lot of our broader public policy goals in language that moves people

1:33:57 to build the political

1:33:59 capacity to drive legislation and change public policy. Right? And I think I get to do that quite a bit

1:34:07 moving into 2028 where I can leave a lot of these memes for how we talk about memes.

1:34:12 Yeah. It's very bizarre that this is,

1:34:16 is being acknowledged that we just we need memes. We need memes. We need memes. We need there's a show title. We need memes. There you go.

1:34:24 You know? And he realizes how stupid the electorate has become because policies are too difficult to grasp. But show him a picture. You know? Right. Here's a, you know, here's a here's a dachshund with a with a ball cap on. Okay. I I got that. You know? That's that's really what it's come down to. That's my candidate, really.

1:34:41 Yeah. I well, I forgot who sent it. I apologize, but somebody sent me a sad puppy image to use

1:34:48 with an eye patch on.

1:34:51 Sorry. I don't remember who hey. I'll but thank you because that that did that did make me laugh.

1:34:57 Moving into 2028 where I can leave a lot of these memes for how we talk about this on the table should a political entrepreneur running for president want to run a climate in a way that that makes sense and is less saleable than the way we did it, I think, earlier on. Stop. You know, primarily people like John Ferdinand

1:35:14 A political entrepreneur.

1:35:16 When have you heard that before?

1:35:18 Never. What the hell even is that? A political entrepreneur?

1:35:22 You're you're

1:35:24 blending

1:35:26 communism and capitalism because there are no entrepreneurs in communism.

1:35:30 Yeah.

1:35:32 But it's an interesting mix with this again

1:35:34 because people don't understand words. They're just listening going, oh, this this sounds very interesting.

1:35:41 Yeah. And they're not really even comprehending what is being said. No.

1:35:46 This is less assailable than the way we did it, I think, earlier on. And, you know, primary people like John Friedman, I have no problem to do that. Like, I'm looking forward to it. And people are like, oh, we don't primary the senate. Like, watch me do it. You know what I mean? Like, tell me tell me why I should stop. You know I mean? You're gonna spend 60,000,000 in B and B Okay. To complete that game. You know what I mean?

1:36:04 So you know? And then what happens is, ideally, you put one

1:36:10 ogre on a pike,

1:36:11 and then everyone else gets the message. There you go. And everyone sees a lot different. And then it starts they start sounding a lot different. So there's a threat. We'll put an ogre on a pike, and then everybody's gonna fall in line and act the way we want them to act.

1:36:25 This guy this guy needs to be stopped.

1:36:29 It is insanity.

1:36:31 Yeah.

1:36:31 But, hey, I don't expect anything else.

1:36:34 No.

1:36:35 Because that's exactly what you get

1:36:38 when, you you check out and you don't pay any attention. And all of a sudden you wake up Yep. And the people in office are a little crazier than maybe you thought. Oh, here here's there's no clip, and I'm gonna read this. I saw this story, Darren. It's exactly what you're saying right now. K. Exactly.

1:36:55 And this is why California

1:36:57 is doomed. Nobody's gonna fix California because anybody that could that's worth saving is pretty much left, and those that have it have not, have my prayers.

1:37:06 Same thing in New York. Dig this. Brian Romero,

1:37:10 the Democratic nominee for New York's 34th Assembly District in Queens, my own borough,

1:37:15 is sailing into Albany with no Republican opponent,

1:37:21 k, after crushing his primary.

1:37:24 The job pays a 142,000

1:37:25 a year plus per diems. Yet while he waits to be sworn in, the former legislative aide

1:37:31 briefly posted a crowdfunding

1:37:33 page

1:37:35 asking strangers

1:37:36 for $2,000

1:37:38 to help with rent and groceries.

1:37:41 When the New York Post asked about it, the page vanished.

1:37:45 Romero had left his senior adviser role with state senator Kristen Gonzalez earlier this year after ethics guidance forced the move once he became a candidate. State payroll records show he pulled down a $106,469

1:37:58 last year. He lives with his partner in a Jackson Heights apartment that costs about $2,600

1:38:05 a month. So this guy's knocking down a 106,000 a year.

1:38:09 His rent is 2,600, but he's only paying half of it, one would assume, because he's got a roommate. Right? So there's,

1:38:15 you know, 1,300 a month, but he needs to borrow money to pay his rent, and he's gonna be responsible for budgets since I mean, it's incredible.

1:38:23 These people are all losers.

1:38:25 They are incredible

1:38:27 losers. Every single one of them.

1:38:30 This is treason. Oh, for god's sake, make an example of her. Yes. Make an example. Like a bloody head on a fence post. Yeah. I I like that. Yeah. And he's not asking to borrow the money. He's asking to Give it to me. Yeah. Just give it to me. There's no value for value there. That's just give me your money. Give me your money. Well, I mean, it's the essence of socialism communism. Give me what you got.

1:38:51 Well, that socialism

1:38:53 yeah. Communism is we're just taking it. That's true. We're just taking it. Well, they'll take it anyway because, you know, it's a scam.

1:38:59 But, Bill Maher, who has been all over the map as we've covered him over the last few years Yes.

1:39:06 Is leaning,

1:39:07 very strongly in the he doesn't like

1:39:10 the socialist

1:39:12 direction,

1:39:13 which is good, and it's entertaining.

1:39:14 Will anybody listen to Bill? I don't know.

1:39:18 And finally, new role Donald Trump has told 1,000,000,000,000 lies, but when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are actually communist,

1:39:26 that's not one of them.

1:39:28 And it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates. Davey Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic party keeps going in the direction of the DSA,

1:39:40 my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, oh my god. You're a Republican now. No. That's not what I said. I said in play.

1:39:50 And here's why.

1:39:51 Because not a week goes by where I don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the democratic party.

1:39:58 And then when that face opens its mouth, the communist manifesto

1:40:03 or some other crazy shit comes out.

1:40:06 Yeah. Just like the guy you were just talking about. Yeah. Comes right on out. Right out.

1:40:11 Again, let's just read the quotes. The DSA platform says your work you work as much as you are able and no more than needed.

1:40:20 If that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs, they'd be sued for plagiarism. New York mayor, Mondani,

1:40:30 once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly.

1:40:34 They're not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer,

1:40:38 Hassan Piker,

1:40:39 thinks communism is so groovy.

1:40:41 He laments the fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and chairman Mao's China.

1:40:49 Mandami's aid, his top aid, C. A. Weaver, said if you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property,

1:40:56 it's over

1:40:57 and impoverish the white middle class.

1:41:01 What?

1:41:02 That's a that's a goal?

1:41:05 You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you. Right?

1:41:11 So what what point are you at in the cycle if

1:41:15 instead of trying to lie about all of this stuff that you are willing to just go out there and say the truth and think people are still going to put you into office? I mean, this is

1:41:26 some insane

1:41:27 world. But it's it's working. I mean, over quite a few states lately,

1:41:32 these cretins have been elected.

1:41:34 And, you know, what what America needs to do, it's it's is turn back the clock to, to the late forties and fifties with Joe McCarthy

1:41:43 was, basically hunting these people

1:41:45 and attempting to jail them. Because, you know, it's one thing when there's two sides of an argument, but if if somebody's if somebody's intent is to destroy you, your way of life, everything about you, well, that's that's not an opinion. That's an enemy,

1:41:58 and their voice doesn't matter.

1:42:01 You know? There really should be some type of legislation passed that if you are a card carrying commie,

1:42:06 get out.

1:42:08 Or hey. It would work if you just

1:42:11 educated

1:42:12 the average person enough to know

1:42:15 what communism is and how it would mess their life up immensely.

1:42:20 Who's who's gonna do that? Not the teachers union. Exactly.

1:42:24 Also a bunch of commies overall. No question.

1:42:28 One of this new soon to be democratic congresspeople,

1:42:31 Darlisia Chavalier,

1:42:33 supports seizing all properties from landlords

1:42:37 and said seize the means of production.

1:42:40 Mendhami has said the end goal is seizing the means of production.

1:42:45 I think they wanna seize the means of production. Now

1:42:50 maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether,

1:42:53 but that's communism. Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance, and I must take them at their word when their words include,

1:43:03 our commitment is to the long term struggle for a fully liberated classless society,

1:43:09 in a word, communism.

1:43:12 What do they have to do? Tweet out elect more communists?

1:43:16 Oh, yeah. C. A. Weaver did that.

1:43:19 Yes.

1:43:20 Good.

1:43:21 I'm glad you're shocked.

1:43:25 People gotta realize this is going on.

1:43:28 It always worries me when Bill Maher and I have been saying the same thing, but, yeah, I'm glad he's on the train.

1:43:34 Yeah. It's it's it's it's great to hear. But it's it's really chilling, and and nobody's really doing anything to put a stop to this.

1:43:42 Right. Because it's not business as usual. This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing. Yeah.

1:43:48 This is all of the rules of this country, all of the rights that you have gotten from God. No. The government. That's

1:43:56 the government gives you your rights, kids. And if we wanna take all of your property and all of your money, there's nothing you can do about it. Yeah. And all those people in his audience,

1:44:05 most of which I'm sure are Democrats or, you know, card carrying lefties.

1:44:10 Isn't that funny? You know who's not laughing?

1:44:13 It's one of the big ones, our buddy Scott Golloway. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I've got that clip. Yeah. You oh, you got that clip. Lay it on us. Yeah. He was on with, Kara Swisher. Yeah. And I've been doxed. Oh, he's been doxed. Good. Suffer. Suffer, Scotty.

1:44:29 You've been doxed. What? Tell me.

1:44:33 So

1:44:34 I don't know if you've heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000

1:44:40 residences with addresses and names that might

1:44:43 be eligible

1:44:45 for his pied a terre tax. I came out in favor of this tax.

1:44:49 This is the definition. I

1:44:50 know. Let's just laugh at him for the next five minutes. Worried about how you you wanted it.

1:44:57 Backed the wrong horse. It's very interesting when it's like, here's a list of people that

1:45:02 might be.

1:45:03 Might be.

1:45:04 This is the definition. He's taken a legitimate

1:45:07 source of tax revenue and has turned it into a wanted poster.

1:45:11 And the question I would have is other than trying to identify

1:45:15 and imply these people have done something wrong, and then eighteen months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street

1:45:23 and then published the list, what

1:45:25 what is the upside here? Why is he doing this? Because you keep voting them in, dummy.

1:45:31 Correct.

1:45:32 You support his policies.

1:45:34 Now

1:45:36 this is nothing new according to every news report that I can find. This isn't like ma'am Donnie

1:45:43 released information that has not been being released in New York for years, but the framing is now different.

1:45:51 People up till this point weren't really looking at the property owners with, oh, you're evil.

1:45:58 Well,

1:45:58 why are people looking at property owners like they're evil? Because of people like Scott Galloway.

1:46:03 Sure.

1:46:05 Because of the Mam Donnies.

1:46:07 That's why.

1:46:09 Because you're buying into what they are selling you.

1:46:13 It makes very little sense. But yeah, it's kind of funny that this is backfiring on Oh, yeah. Him and like, why is this happening? But you're still supporting him, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I love it. But I mean, he's gonna get me killed, but I really like him. Mhmm. Yeah.

1:46:30 And I have one quick clip from the governor of Illinois, the state that I currently reside in. Oh, JB.

1:46:36 More lies, lies, and damn lies from somebody that is

1:46:41 doesn't claim to be a democrat socialist, but he is.

1:46:45 What is Oh, this is directly from the JB account. So, yes, the music is all JB's people. What

1:46:53 is Donald Trump's so called save America act? It's yet I mean, why is it a so called act? It is just the save. It's not a so called act. Yeah. Well, you know. It's yet another way for him to make voting more difficult for Americans

1:47:08 disagree with him. Oh, yeah. Only the people that disagree with him, it'll make it harder to vote for, you know,

1:47:14 showing you actually live in this country.

1:47:16 You know? Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. Are a citizen

1:47:19 of this country. Words matter.

1:47:22 I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act, and it should be before anything else happens.

1:47:30 Voters who would face the possibility of being disenfranchised.

1:47:33 The bill would make it harder for tens of millions of married women to vote because their last names Yeah. Don't I know.

1:47:40 Let let them finish

1:47:43 this part. Yeah. Because their last names don't match their birth certificates.

1:47:48 He wants to Yeah.

1:47:50 So, I mean, are you familiar with this? Because I

1:47:54 looked it up. Because

1:47:56 your name doesn't match your birth certificate.

1:48:00 I know that's really inconvenient. Cause women when they get married, a lot of them change their name

1:48:06 to take their husband's last name.

1:48:09 Now,

1:48:10 in this law

1:48:11 that this

1:48:13 moron Pritzker,

1:48:14 my governor is talking about,

1:48:17 the way

1:48:19 that you can get

1:48:21 beyond this. So, yeah, okay. So if your birth certificate

1:48:24 has a different last name, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops. Right, Larry? I mean, you want to No. I don't believe that for a second. No. You know what they need? What? An affidavit from the person swearing that what they're providing is true. Oh, see. Yeah. So they have to write

1:48:40 That's Women are too stupid to write an affidavit according to J. D. Prisk, and they're too dumb to be able to write down that Mary Jones is now Mary Peters. That's way too way too hard for women according to JB Pritzker. Well, the poster is Pritzker thinks women are stupid. Put it on every bill billboard in Illinois. It's unbelievable.

1:49:02 You need a

1:49:04 affidavit

1:49:05 from the person. You know, nobody else. You don't have to go. You don't have to get a lawyer. You just have to fill out a piece of paper that says, I, your name here, am really this person originally,

1:49:16 your name here on the birth certificate. Boom. Done.

1:49:18 Yeah. And he said tens of millions. I'm trying to I used to know that number, but I I don't think there are tens of millions of women getting married every year. Think it's like three, four million, something like that.

1:49:28 Yeah. Because that's going off the ledge as well. Marriage as an institution.

1:49:34 Make it so even using your Real ID, which is secure enough to keep air travel safe.

1:49:40 Is the Real ID really keeping air travel safe? Not in the least. No.

1:49:45 It's making it more inconvenient,

1:49:47 but it's not doing a damn thing to make it safer. No.

1:49:50 Wouldn't allow you to vote.

1:49:52 And if you move even one block from where you live now, you wouldn't be allowed to vote. I mean, what he doesn't mention is that moving one block could put you into a different state, a different county, a different town.

1:50:04 But, no, don't don't worry about reality, kids.

1:50:08 Unless you start the whole registration

1:50:10 process all over again.

1:50:13 The push to pass Because, you know, when you move, Larry I mean, you did. This is a perfect example. You moved over the last few years from County California to County Connecticut.

1:50:22 Correct. There were no paper there was nothing you had to fill out anywhere. Right? I mean, you just you moved in every your credit cards and every and they just knew where you were. Right? Yeah. Yeah. They knew where to where where it was, and amazingly,

1:50:35 incredibly,

1:50:36 Darren,

1:50:37 they they knew I was here and so they could tax me on my cars, on my house. Everything all the tax just magically appeared. I don't know how they did it, but they did it. It's amazing. When you move, there's never any paperwork that you need to fill out. Just give us the money. Uh-huh.

1:50:52 The Save America Act is just Donald Trump's latest attempt to deny your right to vote and to reshape the electorate in MAGA's favor.

1:51:01 He doesn't want a legitimate election.

1:51:03 He wants certain victory.

1:51:05 No. He wants fair.

1:51:07 Yeah. Read the Safe America Act bill, not the so called. Mhmm.

1:51:12 If you read it, it is

1:51:16 it's pretty clear, but this is part of this massive

1:51:19 amount because Pritzker's

1:51:21 social media,

1:51:23 this is daily. This isn't like he releases a every now and then. Are things like this coming out. Constantly. Sure. Yes. And it's that fire hose effect again. And why? Because people look at it and they're like, oh, must be true. I mean, he's

1:51:37 he's an elected official. He's the governor of Illinois. He wouldn't be lying just flat to my face, would he? Yeah. Hell yeah.

1:51:45 Seems like that happens a lot. Yes. Yes. It does.

1:51:49 And just to prove that the migration

1:51:52 crisis doesn't just happen

1:51:54 in The United States, this is a very

1:51:58 interesting story. This Queta, I'm almost It's

1:52:02 amazing, man. Invasion.

1:52:05 I'm

1:52:06 great with geography names.

1:52:08 It's amazing.

1:52:09 But here is the breakdown

1:52:12 on what is going on from the BBC.

1:52:16 Where is

1:52:17 and why have so many people suddenly tried to swim there?

1:52:21 These images are of thousands of migrants suddenly rushing towards Morocco's border with Ceuta,

1:52:27 a tiny sliver of land that belongs to Spain.

1:52:30 They swam across in such huge numbers that the border effectively collapsed that there was chaos. The swim isn't long, but some people clearly struggled, and several dozen have drowned.

1:52:41 Those who did make it to shore, though, were euphoric.

1:52:45 So

1:52:48 why Ceuta? Well, it's a spot where Europe and Africa meet directly,

1:52:52 a stepping stone, some think, on the way to a better life. It's just a few square miles in size and with around 80,000

1:53:00 inhabitants.

1:53:01 So 50,000 more arriving in just one day was quite something.

1:53:06 Spain has now sent troops and police to help keep the peace and to reinforce the border. But it's still not clear why so many migrants suddenly rushed to Ceuta.

1:53:15 Okay. Here's the very interesting thing. She's telling you

1:53:20 literally one breath before.

1:53:23 Nobody understands why, but listen to what follows.

1:53:26 A Spanish court did rule recently that anyone who swims across the border can't be automatically returned,

1:53:32 so perhaps word spread. So so perhaps

1:53:36 this

1:53:37 is the understatement

1:53:39 of the century.

1:53:40 Sure. Well, it's just like Joey and Kamala. We can't control the border. We're taking act to congress. We can't stop them. So come on up, guys. Right. Saying come in cards for you and phones and everything. Nothing will happen exactly. What they had here

1:53:54 was the court rule if you come in via the water,

1:53:58 you can't be immediately

1:54:00 returned. That seems like it might have been a lie, but oh, maybe people heard this.

1:54:06 Well, of course they did because you didn't have this before that, and and now you do. Yeah. Cause and effect.

1:54:13 Mhmm.

1:54:13 But there are also questions about what Morocco did or didn't do to stop people crossing.

1:54:19 Okay. It's Morocco's fault. But It's their fault. Why did none of these liberal outlets went, oh, it's it's Mexico's fault for allowing all of these migrants to walk through.

1:54:29 Yeah. It's amazing.

1:54:31 Morocco should learn from East Berlin. Put that wall up. Keep it inside. Yeah. Everybody needs a wall, Larry. Everybody needs a wall. Right now, it's not happy with Spain because of Spain's relations with Algeria,

1:54:42 not a friend of Morocco.

1:54:44 Spain's government is playing that down because it needs help from Morocco now to be able to send people back there. Many have already gone, but many thousands more are still in Ceuta

1:54:54 and unsure of what happens next.

1:54:57 Yeah. It's good. Well, we're already seeing what's happening next. Here is the the Fox News report.

1:55:03 Chaos at the border of Spain's Chaos. Enclave

1:55:06 in Morocco. This is a city called Ceuta. You're watching as thousand

1:55:10 And the reason I can't get the name right is because everybody covering this has said this differently. I think he's correct, and the Brit was wrong. That's just a gut feeling. Suta. Yes.

1:55:21 Of migrants

1:55:22 break through the fence and completely overwhelm

1:55:25 the border police. Their video showing

1:55:27 huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys. Sounds very familiar, doesn't it? Doesn't it, though? Yes. The young military age guys. Absolutely. Coming into a country. No. Nothing to see here. No.

1:55:40 Their video showing

1:55:41 huge groups of people, mostly young military age guys cramming into inflatable tubes or arriving onshore another way. Some of them waiting in the water as they break through the gates to get to the other side. Sandra, this is reminiscent

1:55:55 of kind of what we saw during the open border during the Biden administration through 2021, 2024, kind of similar to what we saw in Rio back in 2021.

1:56:03 And of course it's just Fox News who is very much on the Trump train overall.

1:56:08 So they will bring the comparison

1:56:10 to the

1:56:11 invasion

1:56:13 of the United States under Biden. The

1:56:16 socialist agenda, their platform literally says they want to abolish borders, abolish immigration enforcement, have complete freedom of movement. This is what it looks like in another country if they get what they want. Notice there is no resistance from the government whatsoever. These people are coming in without any obstruction.

1:56:33 And if people don't know, Spain has a very left wing government. Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program for over Well, Spain isn't really just very left wing. They are pretty much straight out socialist, aren't they? Totally. Yes. That's correct. You know, I think of that Brit idiot. They arrived so what what was the word she's ecstatic

1:56:51 or something, how happy they were to be there. Yes. And then she says that it's normally a community of of 80,000 people, and suddenly there's 50,000 strangers. Now if you look at a map, it's the tip of kind of a not a peninsula,

1:57:03 but it's it's it's it's jutting into a vast chunk of water called the Mediterranean.

1:57:08 And there's nowhere to go from there.

1:57:10 Okay? So where are all these guys gonna, make pee pee? Where are they gonna eat? Where are they gonna sleep? You know, it doesn't matter because they're happy, you know, and and the people that are living there already, well, screw them because they need to welcome everybody.

1:57:24 Well, that's not what's happening, believe it or not. But, all these people going think once it's very much

1:57:31 the same story

1:57:32 of the Venezuelans

1:57:34 that came into The United States, wound up here in Chicago sleeping on the floor.

1:57:40 Send me back.

1:57:41 Right. When interviewed,

1:57:44 we're like, this is horrible.

1:57:46 We thought there was opportunity

1:57:48 here.

1:57:49 We can't work without getting permits.

1:57:51 We can't get the permits. We can't get a place to live because we don't have any money.

1:57:57 And when asked if

1:57:59 they would do it all over again, they're like, no, it was better before they left home,

1:58:05 but it was because of the story

1:58:07 that was sold to them.

1:58:09 They come on in. They should go to Martha's Vineyard.

1:58:13 Now they could have stayed at Barack and Michelle's. No problem.

1:58:16 We don't know. Spain has a very left wing government. Earlier this year, they did a big amnesty program for over million illegal immigrants living in the country. They had 1,300,000

1:58:26 illegal immigrants apply for that amnesty program between April

1:58:29 and June. So that's what we call a pull factor, Sandra. They're looking for something like that. They know if they can just get their foot in the country, maybe someday that left wing government do another amnesty program. And you were just reading some of the wires. The locals want an emergency declaration. It sounds like The ministry is saying no. And they will not deploy military to the border. Apparently, they don't think this is an I mean, look at this. This is a total free for all. Yeah. And I don't know exactly the timing between this news report and then what happened shortly after because

1:58:58 the concept that they weren't being

1:59:01 rounded up and sent back doesn't seem to be the truth. Either this is a global news report.

1:59:08 It started with hundreds,

1:59:11 then many,

1:59:12 many more. The

1:59:14 Spanish government estimates roughly 60,000

1:59:17 people arrived from Morocco in little more than a day.

1:59:21 Many swam.

1:59:22 And

1:59:23 again, we know that millions came into The United States, but as you just pointed out,

1:59:28 this is about 60,000

1:59:30 people coming into a country

1:59:33 of 80,000.

1:59:35 Mhmm.

1:59:36 Almost doubling within a day.

1:59:40 Yeah. Yo. Go. This man says he spent two hours in the ocean. Another brought his five daughters.

1:59:50 Just before an attempt, this woman says she doesn't make enough as a waitress to support her parents and daughter.

1:59:56 They're traveling from Morocco into a Spanish enclave in Africa called Soweta.

2:00:01 Many thousands of people have tried in the past,

2:00:04 risking their lives to seek a better life.

2:00:07 More than 30 people died in their attempt this time. The

2:00:11 rumor that seems to have

2:00:13 really blown up is that all of the all of the rules

2:00:18 around pushbacks were were suspended.

2:00:21 Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points to misinformation

2:00:25 around a recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying now. Spain Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned.

2:00:35 So which part of that's misinformation? I'm not really sure. It seems like it seems like good information.

2:00:40 If the court ruled that, why would you say then it was misinformation?

2:00:45 I want to hear that again too. Yeah.

2:00:47 All of the rules

2:00:50 around pushbacks were were suspended.

2:00:53 Migration researcher Craig Damien Smith points to misinformation

2:00:56 around a recent Spanish court case as a potential reason why so many are trying now. Spain Supreme Court ruled people arriving by sea cannot be summarily returned,

2:01:07 though that appears to be happening.

2:01:10 As of Friday morning local time, as many as 25,000

2:01:14 people returned.

2:01:17 This man says he's leaving and that he hasn't eaten or slept in a day. Others likely dissuaded by the Spanish military.

2:01:26 Spain's prime minister called so many people illegally arriving

2:01:30 an attack,

2:01:31 a sentiment the British prime minister echoed. It is a cause for concern, and we are making contact with the Spanish government, the Spanish authorities to provide support. Smith points out legal entry to the EU enables free passage within it. He also says many European countries are aging

2:01:49 and rely on migrant labor,

2:01:51 that more legal pathways could make life easier for many people. That crap. So It's the same story as here. Oh, no. We need Yeah. We need that. We need the influx. Well, then come in legally. Right.

2:02:03 And don't even wanna talk about the

2:02:06 danger as

2:02:08 we talked about, Adam and John talked about, the danger from

2:02:12 coming into The United States and how many people died

2:02:16 trying

2:02:17 to make that journey because it's a very corrupt way to get into the country and you're paying, you know, mules to get you in. I mean, people, not actual mules.

2:02:26 And it's a very dangerous thing and they're not most of these news reports here, we haven't heard anything

2:02:32 about the death toll here, but France 24 has it. Both

2:02:37 cities, Melilla and Ceuta, are are really surrounded by very high fences,

2:02:43 and and it's extraordinarily difficult normally

2:02:47 to reach.

2:02:49 And of course, we've seen over the past few days, while obviously tens of thousands of people arrived,

2:02:56 dozens of people, as you say, the latest estimate is fifty seven people died in the attempt. So it's

2:03:03 very difficult and very dangerous.

2:03:07 Once people arrive in Ceuta and Melilla,

2:03:11 while

2:03:12 they are part of Spain and as such they are part of the Schengen Free Movement area, there are special rules applied

2:03:19 to the autonomous cities and it's actually quite difficult to travel onward.

2:03:24 A lot of the scaremongering

2:03:26 that we've heard and the reactions from countries like Italy,

2:03:30 sort of thundering about suspending

2:03:34 Schengen,

2:03:35 or suspending Spain from Schengen are are really red herrings, that that don't,

2:03:40 match up with the reality of the situation.

2:03:43 Yeah. I mean, what I also don't understand all these

2:03:47 leftist countries who are now afraid that more people are coming in. I thought you don't want the borders.

2:03:52 Yeah. Now these people are coming in illegally, how horrible.

2:03:56 But CBS News is the only one

2:04:00 that I found

2:04:01 that had boots on the ground,

2:04:03 that had a reporter

2:04:06 there

2:04:07 trying to speak to these migrants coming in. And I thought this

2:04:11 was very interesting. Again, was echoing

2:04:14 the interviews

2:04:15 with the Venezuelans

2:04:16 that I saw here in Chicago, kind of given the same thing. We were promised a better life

2:04:22 and, the reality may be a little different.

2:04:25 All these people have been told that they're not going to be able to get asylum here, so they're being turned around and sent back right there.

2:04:35 No.

2:04:36 They're not letting people stay. That's what the police have told us.

2:04:45 Everyone they're making everybody leave.

2:04:49 But some people here in in go

2:04:53 to.

2:04:54 You can see, but most of them are walking this way because the police and the military have forced them to leave. I know it's very hard to hear because of the audio was bad,

2:05:03 but the migrants like, but no, no, a bunch of these people that were going to Spain and this guy's like, no, that's not gonna happen.

2:05:10 You know, sorry, but your journey is for naught. The journey.

2:05:15 The military says that they're not letting people stay, that you have to go back. What about if many people stay here? No problem.

2:05:23 So your hope is that you'll be able to stay here? Yeah.

2:05:26 There's no problem. So

2:05:28 you read a news article that said that if you came here, you could claim asylum and live in Spain. And you read that and then you decided to swim over.

2:05:38 Has opened the door. Said

2:05:40 This was on social media. Yeah. Right?

2:05:44 Never believe social media, kids.

2:05:46 Yeah.

2:05:49 It said Spain opened the door. This was on social I mean, again, this is the exact playbook of what happened with everybody coming into The United States. Oh, The United States said it. The the door is open. Come on in. Well, they did say that, and there was, you know, cell phones and phone cards and credit cards and, you know Probably new airs waiting for them. Where would you like to go? You got up in that? We'll fly over you. I mean, yeah.

2:06:12 It was for real under Joey. You know what's fascinating? It's you know, I I saw some of those videos, and it looked there was a science fiction movie a few years ago with Brad Pitt about some kind of a plague. I can't remember what it was called,

2:06:24 but it was actually very good. World War three. That's what it was.

2:06:27 And there were these mob scenes of these zombies just swarming various areas. And this the videos of that invasion,

2:06:36 from Morocco to Spain, that part of Spain, was very reminiscent. You know? Thousands and thousands of guys, as they say, military age dudes. Somebody in the report said somebody brought five children. Well, I didn't see any kids. I didn't see any women. It was all guys maybe 17 to 30. You know?

2:06:52 And it and they constantly

2:06:54 this the left

2:06:55 is this is their stock and trade, man.

2:06:58 They distort the language,

2:07:01 And it's kind of been accepted now around the world

2:07:04 that invaders are now referred to as migrants.

2:07:08 And it's it so pisses me off because they're not. You know? Yes. You know, for for for a hundred whatever years, the migrants and certainly, I've I've witnessed it in California. They come across, they work in the farms, the ranches, whatever, and they a while, and they they'd send money back to Mexico, and then when it's done, they they go home. You know? Not the same as swarms of thousands of guys just coming. Those are invaders. Those are not migrants. They're invaders.

2:07:35 And I believe they're referring to both men and women, but there might be a little bit of a

2:07:42 hint here why there aren't many women crossing.

2:07:46 Media on

2:07:48 what on Twitter or Instagram or? Facebook and Instagram. Everyone wants to be here. Why don't you wanna go home to Morocco?

2:08:07 If you have family, like, that you can be happy all the life. Do you have a family? Yeah. I'm

2:08:13 my mother, mate. But she to be there's something to

2:08:17 leave a good life. So you really want to leave Morocco. You don't care where you go.

2:08:21 Just

2:08:23 singing Turkey. You just wanna be able to leave Morocco. And

2:08:27 why is that? Why do you wanna leave Morocco so badly?

2:08:34 Maybe there was a different clip that I misclipped,

2:08:37 but there was talking about

2:08:40 there being witches on the journey and how they just tied them up and threw them into the sea. Oh,

2:08:46 that's not nice. No.

2:08:48 It is not the the way that you wanna go.

2:08:52 Well, that was how you determined a witch, right, back in those days. They're one right. Drowned you, and if you drowned, you were a witch. Right. It's the

2:09:00 only way to know is to throw them into the water. Yes.

2:09:03 And this was just they I thought this was kind of interesting. Not that I, you know, give any credence to this guy. His name's Mark Adderley. He is a British producer.

2:09:15 And

2:09:16 of course,

2:09:18 the

2:09:19 evil and the reasoning behind all of this are gonna be clear.

2:09:23 Some

2:09:24 kind of even reported by the Telegraph

2:09:26 Moroccan governmental

2:09:28 influence on this.

2:09:30 And, also, we can't pretend to ignore that Morocco clearly only in recent days has been in conversations with Trump telling him they're naming a a highway after Trump.

2:09:40 They have a they've signed the Abraham Accords, and they have a military relationship with Israel. So, you know, we have no way of being able to prove anything,

2:09:50 but the feeling is one of it's curious

2:09:54 that Spain

2:09:55 has inadvertently become the epicenter

2:09:58 of a migrant

2:10:00 crisis

2:10:01 very shortly after the Spanish World Cup and everything that America has said about not liking the Spanish. Yeah, it's all Trump. It's all Israel. That's the reason it's all. Wow. So this was all CIA app. This is how this happened.

2:10:16 Maybe. Yeah. It's

2:10:19 again, there is so much

2:10:21 blather

2:10:22 out there that it's nearly impossible

2:10:24 to know

2:10:26 who's right,

2:10:28 who's wrong, which just of course gets everybody else anxious. It gets everybody all spun up and that's not doing anything good for their mental health as well.

2:10:37 Yeah. Now you have two more clips here, and then we can thank a lot of people for their courage.

2:10:42 Yeah. Why not?

2:10:44 What have I got here? I've got, you know, this kind of fun one. Steven

2:10:49 Miller dropping truth bombs. You know, I'm I'm such a stickler for vocabulary and words. You can hear what this guy has to say.

2:10:57 The people you mentioned, names you mentioned, AOC,

2:10:59 Bernie, the Squad,

2:11:01 Omar, These are people who even ten or fifteen years ago, but would have been relegated to the outer extreme

2:11:08 fringes of the Democrat party. They're now the center of the party. They're the heart of the party. They're the soul of the party. So the Democrats have become a party of freaks, weirdos, losers, and crazies.

2:11:19 But you can't laugh it off because it's deadly serious. When you give these people power,

2:11:24 everything you know and love in this world falls apart. You have chaos, corruption, decay,

2:11:30 violence, poverty.

2:11:31 That's a poster

2:11:33 right there for Yeah. He's he's dead right. And and he he he he missed

2:11:38 a step when he said to give these people power.

2:11:41 They get power because before they get power, people insist

2:11:45 that you give them respect.

2:11:47 Right? And he's right. Fifteen, twenty years ago, a lot of these people would have said, hey, man. Those are those are psychos. Those are they're they're nincompoops. They're weird. Get them out of here. You know, the Bernies, really. Really, the, the the vagrants.

2:11:59 So many of them are. But how do they get that way? Well, I'll tell you how. From preschool teachers telling the little children that everyone

2:12:07 deserves respect.

2:12:10 No. They don't. No. They do not. They conflate respect with civility.

2:12:15 Right?

2:12:16 Respect borders on admiration,

2:12:19 and nobody deserves respect. Of course, they can only earn it, but not the way children are taught. And so that's why these these creeps,

2:12:28 these insane people

2:12:30 suddenly get to where they go because people are afraid to call them what they are. So I I, you know, I get I get to applaud Stephen Miller. The left hates him, but I I admire what he just said because he's correct.

2:12:43 Dug it up in the troll room says Stephen Miller is a baller.

2:12:46 A what? A baller. What's that? A baller. Oh, wow. Okay. No. It's a, you know, a badass.

2:12:54 Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright.

2:12:56 I didn't know that was gonna be a terminology

2:12:59 that was off of the the radar. It's a baller, man. Yeah. It didn't. Yeah. I thought it like a basketball player or something. Kind of. Okay.

2:13:08 Great. You're bringing a Gavin Newsome clip?

2:13:10 Yes. This is, you know, even though, you're not a dad, I think this may, stimulate some, some rage within you, Darren.

2:13:19 Yeah. Because I do have a thing against bad parenting anyway. Yeah. Well, this isn't the parents' fault, but, you realize how bad things have become,

2:13:27 in the state of California. This is I'll just tell you the setup. It's a woman filming herself. She's on a speakerphone talking to some somebody at,

2:13:35 the the MyChart outfit or some medical

2:13:38 institution in California.

2:13:40 And, man, what she has to say is kinda sickening.

2:13:43 I have a question for you. I got a notification in MyChart from, my daughter Gianna,

2:13:49 seeing that once her birthday hits on August 4 that I'm not gonna have access,

2:13:55 through MyChart for her appointments and her, like, test results and stuff.

2:14:00 Correct. What you're gonna have to do

2:14:03 is when the child turns 12, you're gonna have to bring her in. She's gonna have to create her own account.

2:14:09 Her own account.

2:14:11 How?

2:14:14 How is majors.

2:14:16 And what is this an account for?

2:14:22 On, like, my device? So she has her own MyChart, the medical website that seems everybody knows. You know, I was thinking because I've got those with every doctor that I've got. And so

2:14:33 wait.

2:14:34 This

2:14:35 doctor's office is telling this woman that a 12 year old's gonna have to set up her own account?

2:14:40 Yes. Because To get out of California.

2:14:42 And what is the reason for that? Well, because, Scott

2:14:46 Weiner,

2:14:47 that freak up in San Francisco,

2:14:50 among his other legislation he's passed now in California, basically, if a 12 year old says, excuse me, I I wanna get my Johnson removed,

2:14:58 they can have it done

2:15:00 by themselves, by their fiat, and mommy and daddy have no say whatsoever.

2:15:06 Wow. Yeah. Wow.

2:15:09 How many majors?

2:15:12 On, like, my device? So she has her own login? No. Her device.

2:15:17 Her device. She's 12.

2:15:19 She doesn't have a device.

2:15:22 Then she won't be able to access. Like, how is she so you guys expect 12 year olds to make their own appointments and monitor their test results? It's not us. It's not it's it's this is the state state nationwide thing. Crazy. My kids, I can't even get my kids. I can't even get my own kid unless

2:15:39 they give me access.

2:15:41 But I have to my kids have to create their own accounts.

2:15:46 Okay. So if she creates her own account on whatever device,

2:15:50 she has her own login, I I we could do it through that.

2:15:55 Correct.

2:15:56 Able to email the doctor. So on the account that you currently have, you'll be able to schedule and cancel appointments

2:16:04 Okay. And still be able to email the doctor. Because the message says that I can't even do appointments.

2:16:12 Oh, they

2:16:13 can't do appointments?

2:16:15 I mean, is this real? This is real. This is not fake.

2:16:19 I mean, this I mean, the I'm having flashbacks to the AI videos that I was, complaining were fake a couple of weeks ago. This is this is real?

2:16:29 I believe it is. It's been, you know.

2:16:32 Oh, no. I guess not. So she's gonna have to call and create her and make her yearly appointments.

2:16:39 Oh my god. That's crazy.

2:16:42 Okay. I know. That's insane. How how

2:16:45 do they expect kids to say they get a blood

2:16:49 test. How

2:16:50 do they want them to review their own blood test results at 12 years old?

2:16:56 Okay.

2:16:58 Well, we'll figure it out. I'm just gonna have to create we'll create the login together, and I'll manage it under her her account.

2:17:06 Yes. That's And then if they do create they have their appointment, I'm just I'm still allowed to

2:17:14 go in with her. Right?

2:17:16 Or I'm not even allowed to be in the room with her.

2:17:19 Unless she said if she says yes, absolutely. If she says no, she has every right. Okay. There you go. Wow. Year olds are calling the shots. They'll decide what mommy and daddy have to say or see.

2:17:32 Okay. That does not if that's real, that is beyond

2:17:36 the pale as Joe Biden would say. Yeah. Well, that was a big big issue,

2:17:41 about them doing it again. I mean, people in California were just, you know, having conniptions over and justifiably so because it's all rooted in the trans movement.

2:17:50 That's where that's that's the the genesis.

2:17:53 Right. Because when they wanna get the surgery done, then the parents can't be

2:17:58 told about it because that would be bad somehow. Right.

2:18:02 Wow. Wow. If that's real, I mean, I would have given you a clip of the day, but I already did that. Well, I like first what I got. Clip of the show because that is

2:18:10 absolutely

2:18:11 insane. If you're in California, if you got kids Get out. Yeah. God help you. Yeah. But it's time to do this.

2:18:20 I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah. That'd be fab.

2:18:28 Yeah.

2:18:28 On No Agenda

2:18:32 in the morning.

2:18:33 Yeah. I know the jingle doesn't always go there. People are like, oh, you're not doing it right. And, like, it's it's like spinning plates.

2:18:40 But no one great plate spinner. You know you are. The best. I get yeah. I get better as no. Adam Curry is the best. I'm getting,

2:18:47 alright

2:18:49 as, time goes by. I'm gonna get a little bit better each and every time. By the time Adam's like, give me all this stuff back, you guys are nuts, then I'll be perfect. I'll be good. I'll know exactly

2:19:00 what I'm doing. But No Agenda is a value for value show.

2:19:04 What does that mean? I mean, the whole ecosystem, it's based on three words, time, talent, treasure.

2:19:10 It's pretty simple. There's no ads, there's no corporate money, nothing's locked behind a paywall. It's not like some subscription service that you're like, how do I stop this? No, It's very easy. The show goes out, you can grab it with whatever app you want. We highly recommend the podcasting two point o app because then you get the bat signal when the show goes live and all the other shows that you like that are on the podcasting 2.20

2:19:35 go live. Just go over to podcastapps.com

2:19:39 if you don't have one. And then if you get anything out of the show, did you laugh? Did you cry? Did you like Larry's Fauci impersonation, man? Everybody dug that.

2:19:47 Was it better than cats? Just you get to send some value back to us to keep the show going on. That's it. It doesn't have to be money. That is where the time, and treasure comes into it. You can do artwork, you can tell a friend, you can hit them in the mouth as we say, spread the word in any way you can.

2:20:04 And if you want to go the monetary donation route that keeps the lights on, do what feels right for you. $5 could be a big deal and some people a $100, 200, 1,000, nobody dictates the number but you. This is for pure freedom

2:20:18 and the value for value model. You can just go over to noagendadonations.com

2:20:23 and see what number hits you. Maybe it's eight eight eight because there was 888

2:20:28 people in that troll room the last time. But Larry and I are getting compensated

2:20:32 for these shows.

2:20:33 We left that number up to the Podfather and the Dvorak clan. It's an example of value for value. Whatever they think we are worth,

2:20:40 then that's what we're gonna get. So we highly recommend

2:20:44 if you like what we're doing here, that you go over and send in a donation and just let them know, Darren and Larry, they're okay.

2:20:50 Yeah.

2:20:51 I mean, it's okay as we can possibly be, but let me look here at the troll room.

2:20:58 What do we got? What's the head count? I know these trolls, they always run. I don't know why we have a peak troll age of 956

2:21:06 with seven seven six. That sounds kind of patriotic.

2:21:09 It does. Right now and we are glad you are joining us in the No Agenda Troll Room which is available

2:21:15 over at noagenda.stream.

2:21:18 And then if you're a true nerd, you will figure

2:21:21 out how to get on to the IRC server direct so you don't have to deal with any of the the crazy web interface stuff and

2:21:29 just the way it works and all the trolls there on a podcasting two point o app because they know

2:21:34 when we're live. The other thing you can do of course, artwork for the show.

2:21:39 As I said the other day, people like, oh, wait. Can you can you still do art? Well, I could, but that wouldn't be in the No. And then And I'd have to pick your stuff. Wouldn't that be awful? No. You would be like, no. I don't like any of this stuff. This is all bad. Give me a darn thing. But we had some nice art coming in on the last show, and a couple of the artists, was it Mike Riley? One of them somebody told me like, no. No. Be be vicious. Be vicious to the artist. Don't don't let them off the hook.

2:22:06 But there were a few nice pieces

2:22:08 by Dame Kenny Ben, and there were a few we could have gone with. Yep.

2:22:14 I really kind of liked

2:22:17 the vibe

2:22:18 of the Muppet Fauci with the duct tape,

2:22:22 but Larry hates puppets.

2:22:24 I do. It's true. So you have to learn exactly what the

2:22:30 the host like and Larry does not like puppets, but see, that was a Fauci

2:22:35 Muppet that looked I mean, that looks more Fauci than the actual Fauci.

2:22:40 I mean, it's amazing. That was a beautiful piece. It was good. The one we chose was a cartoonish

2:22:47 Fauci,

2:22:48 which everything kind of blended perfectly with the little bubble of I take the fifth, which that was the thing you said was the

2:22:56 tape over the mouth

2:22:58 didn't

2:23:00 really coincide enough with the 111

2:23:03 times. Yes.

2:23:05 Of Fauci taking the fifth. And then we had like the little lawyer names. I mean, I hope though O'Neil and Blyder aren't the real lawyers for Fauci because we although we get we get paid well. That's true. But we thought that one really hit on all of the marks. I

2:23:21 don't know what your what was next for you. I mean, we both decided that Blue Acorns Fauci writing in the diary was so disturbing. We are going to have nightmares for the next,

2:23:31 well, as long as we can imagine. Yes. It's a tad disturbing. Yes. You think?

2:23:37 I mean,

2:23:39 really no agendaartgenerator.com.

2:23:42 Go look. The Fauci diary by Blue Acorn.

2:23:45 Very weird. We had,

2:23:47 of course, Scaramanga

2:23:49 coming in with the cheesecake, but it was a little too trashy of cheesecake.

2:23:54 And with the flock camera.

2:23:56 Yeah. I mean and the butts. Mean the only way butt art is gonna get picked is if it's CSB who said he was gonna put some in for Oh really? Today. I mean we shamed him on the last show like where's the CSB art? Was gathered and I was taking a nap. Like well why?

2:24:12 You snooze, lose. During the show and the Parker Paulie

2:24:17 one which was the mashup of our original

2:24:21 Planet Rage art with No Agenda was very nice as well.

2:24:25 That would have probably been second on

2:24:28 my list after

2:24:30 the one that we chose,

2:24:32 but there's some interesting stuff coming in today.

2:24:35 Oh, I do see something from Comic Strip Bloggers so he didn't lie. Oh, cool. There's still plenty of time though to compete to see what is going to win today.

2:24:45 It could be anything. That is the beauty of it. We thank Dame Kenny Ben. I know she's been out of the art game for a little while. So it was nice to see some pieces

2:24:55 by her that came in. Yes. It is all very much appreciated. It's part of the time, talent, treasure. Thank you, Dame Kenny Ben. And now we do need monetary support to keep the show going. And this is where we normally

2:25:09 do our

2:25:10 executive producers and associate executive producers today. Again, we're going all the way down to the 50 mark. Why? Because we're new.

2:25:19 We need some we need some reps and we want to encourage you

2:25:24 to continue

2:25:25 supporting

2:25:26 the best damn podcast in the universe.

2:25:30 So if you have the spreadsheet open, we I can

2:25:33 do, Darren. And I'm gonna

2:25:35 ask for your assistance because to avoid the train wreck situation. I'm looking at Fred Hadley's very generous donation, and it says, see attached note.

2:25:44 Where did you find that note? I've got it. I let me read that. When he came in with a $17.76

2:25:50 in cash, this is very brave. That's cool. Cash. Wow. That's impressive. And the note was on a piece of paper, so I transcribed because it was a little hard to read from the picture, but I've got it here. He says, Dear No Agenda,

2:26:03 United States is a federal corporation where July 4 is Independence Day.

2:26:08 United States Of America is the Constitutional Republic whose August 2 is Independence Day.

2:29:04 And he was a good dude. Yeah. He's the first No Agenda producer that I met in the wild. We went to go see Eli,

2:29:11 and I'm like, I gotta try some of this, a gigawatt coffee.

2:29:14 Then he got me hooked. He gave me a cup of that. He tried these. And I was like, oh, man.

2:29:19 Good stuff. Uh-huh. It's like crack. Once you have it, you want it. You want more. Want more.

2:29:26 Alright. We've got, Red Knight

2:29:29 from Bismarck,

2:29:31 North Dakota. That's a that's a town with a great name and a great place. Two zero one eighty eight.

2:29:36 Deepest condolences to the Dvorak's,

2:29:38 Curry's, all who have been touched by JCD.

2:29:42 My keeper and I were traveling, and we had stopped at the world's largest truck stop in Iowa along Route 180.

2:29:49 We had just sat down for some lunch when I saw the announcement newsletter.

2:29:53 Like many others, I was in disbelief.

2:29:56 This isn't April.

2:29:57 Reading it again, and my keeper could tell something was wrong, I handed her my phone who was also very saddened after reading this the news.

2:30:05 Since we were traveling for a few days, I wouldn't be able to send a proper note or donation.

2:30:10 The added delay gave me the time needed to process and reflect.

2:30:14 I don't know when exactly I discovered JCD,

2:30:17 but I'm pretty sure it was when he was a guest on Twitter.

2:30:21 Early in my marriage, February, my keeper had worked training in the San Francisco area. I gleefully tagged along. It was during this time I frequently watched, listened to Twit.

2:30:33 They would meet at various venues to record the show. I guess this could have been the original meetups.

2:30:38 I was able to be part of the audience on two recordings in two different venues.

2:30:43 Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, others I don't recall, and, of course, John C. Dvorak.

2:30:48 J. C. D. Was new to me at the time and didn't know all of his vast history like I do now.

2:30:54 At first, I wasn't much of a fan of J. C. D. However,

2:30:58 the more he popped up on Twitter and later listened to No Agenda, the more I appreciated his direct no nonsense delivery.

2:31:05 His stories from past experiences always had my attention as well as his many tips. He even used a tip suggestion I sent him called drop stop that goes between your front car seat and console.

2:31:18 Several times after this, I tried to feed him with more tips, but nothing stuck.

2:31:22 One of the tips I sent, he said, this isn't a tip. This is a product promotion.

2:31:28 And I remember that original drop stop. I was like, oh, I need that. Because if you've ever dropped anything in your car, it goes between the seats. I recall that. It was a cool product.

2:31:37 One last thing I'd like to share about John to his and it is his mentioning of giving a short sentence review of products like a book, for example, quote, couldn't put it down or, quote, a real page turner, unquote.

2:31:50 I just so happen to own a game for the Apple, two GS called Crystal Quest.

2:31:56 On the front of the box is a sticker with a few more of those one liners. Our very own JCD has a comment,

2:32:02 quote, hottest game in town, unquote.

2:32:05 I've often thought about sending him this box with donation, of course, and see if he would sign it for me. Another part of me thought, it may fall into the depths of his studio to never be found again. That's probably more likely.

2:32:18 Yeah.

2:32:19 It's never good timing when a loved one leaves us. However, John's sequence of events seems appropriate. One, give everyone a scare with a major surgery. Two,

2:32:28 needed passwords

2:32:30 digital things are realized. Three, John is recovering. We need a promotion. RedKnight, Order of the Heart. Four,

2:32:36 time passes and crossing his per usual. Five,

2:32:39 evening of the final event. John calls to his soul mate, spend a few more minutes together,

2:32:46 then silently exits.

2:32:48 My continual prayers to the Dvorak's and Curry's that our heavenly father will carry you through this valley and give you the strength for the next chapter.

2:32:56 John truly was a national treasure,

2:32:59 Red Knight, Sir Brendan, FEMA region eight.

2:33:03 Well, thank you very much. That's

2:33:05 again, as we heard from the clip directly at the start of the show,

2:33:10 the

2:33:11 gaping hole that is left by John C. Dvorak. And it's funny, I've heard from more than a few people when they posted about John

2:33:19 that starts at first I wasn't a fan

2:33:22 because you didn't really understand John. It's kind of like No Agenda people that start listening to this show. There are so many little backstory,

2:33:30 so many jokes, so many,

2:33:32 you know, in the morning people like, what does that mean? It takes a little time to kinda catch up. But once you did with John, people were in further. I've never heard anybody that was like, oh, but nope. That didn't turn around.

2:33:44 I mean, the minute I saw him take Leo's phone and change it to Korean, I was in.

2:33:49 That's a great stunt.

2:33:52 Everybody should do that. Yes. My wife did that to me once before it was a phone when it was a Garmin GPS on the, dashboard of the car, and she changed the language to France to French. And I was heading to headed to a very important appointment, and man, I was pissed.

2:34:08 Is now yeah.

2:34:10 You didn't know if you were turning left or right. Exactly. I had no idea. Nice.

2:34:16 You wanna do this one, Darren? Or Sure. Sir, nobody of New Jersey now there's a a name.

2:34:23 $201

2:34:24 says, dear O'Neil and Bleidner,

2:34:27 I wanted to thank you two for hosting Thursday's show. It was great, so I subscribed to Planet Rage.

2:34:33 In my previous note, I think I forgot to convey my condolences and sympathies to JCD's

2:34:38 family as well as Adam's family.

2:34:41 Congrats on the birth and of course, Horowitz's.

2:34:46 But on to good news. Looking over my donation amounts from the last donation, I realized that I'm a Baronet.

2:34:52 Those sustaining donations

2:34:55 do

2:34:56 add up.

2:34:57 I'm a fan of the eleven eleven plan. It's not much, but every little bit helps. And I'm just gonna say, I don't wanna argue with the night, but it is not nothing. It is not not much. It is very much what keeps shows like this going are the monthly donations. So thank you for that. Yep. Title to be Baronet Nobody of New Jersey. Also, for the New Jersey crew and anybody else, I'm happy to announce an early meetup for Central Jersey on August 8 at the three BR. Is that distillery in Keyport, New Jersey? It looks like three BR. Yeah. Three bedroom.

2:35:32 Title of, hey, that's a heck of a bar. We drink and we know things absent friends edition. I did this so as to not take Thursday not to take Thunder away from the Dame Nguyen of the Lakes fantastic pig roast meetup on September 6, which is highly recommended to the New Jersey crowd. Well, that sounds like fun too. It does. Looking forward to Baron Hood soon and seeing everyone at the meetups, sir. Nobody of New Jersey, and he came in with 201 today, making him a, Baronet. Thank you. Very cool.

2:39:05 After hearing John C. Dvorak on This Week in Tech,

2:39:08 I am so sad to hear of his passing. The humor, analysis, and worldview

2:39:13 have been life changing, and the friendship between Adam and John has been inspirational.

2:39:18 This donation will bring me to knighthood.

2:41:26 Hi, Larry and Darren. So what is the thing I will miss most about JCD?

2:41:31 Now that is a great question.

2:41:33 Where there's so much the community that he and Adam created around the show is nothing short of amazing.

2:41:38 I have met some awesome people through the show, like Dame Jennifer, the first producer I ever met who happened to be working at the same coworking space in Chi Raq as I was and had an NA mug on her desk.

2:41:52 One of those people is sir Dank Steady who suffered a great loss when the tornado

2:41:57 tore through Menasha,

2:42:00 Wisconsin last week. Fortunately, his family, including their beloved cat, are all safe. And please send heaps of karma to all of them.

2:42:09 Next Yeah. And I I will say karma.

2:47:37 We hope you all had a great birthday

2:47:40 from your friends at the Mighty No Agenda show.

2:47:44 Yeah.

2:47:47 And then there were some meetups.

2:47:49 No agenda

2:47:51 meetups.

2:47:59 Yeah. They are like a party indeed. That's where you go out, you have some fun. Eli the coffee guy, he got me out of the house. It was fun. They're great. I've been to a couple. Always enjoy them. There was a Raleigh JCD meetup report from James Jeffers

2:48:12 who said they there was no audio, but they had 14

2:48:16 people show up.

2:48:18 They toasted JCD's

2:48:20 memory

2:48:21 and they say we miss him and remember him

2:48:25 with fondness. And there was a nice picture, some very good looking trolls out there for the meetup, which

2:48:31 is what we like to see and celebrating JCD.

2:48:34 I mean, what better way to go than to find a bunch of people who have similar

2:48:40 ideas as you and aren't gonna go crazy if you disagree with them, which is also a plus because we're living in a world now where people are, you're wearing a red cap, you're you're the devil. No, not at a meetup. Everybody's cool.

2:48:53 And

2:48:54 then we had a North Georgia meetup and

2:48:57 that is headed up by Sir Bob and

2:49:01 he's got the meetup report here. He doesn't know if I'll be playing them. Oh, yes, I will. But he also adds condolences

2:49:07 to Mimi and everyone else from Georgia. In the morning, Adam and Mimi and the whole Dvorak

2:49:13 clan. This is sir Bob coming at you from the North Georgia quarterly meetup, which we have renamed the North Georgia,

2:49:19 rest in peace, John C. Dvorak meetup. We had a great night. We had the best turnout we've had in a long time. Everybody's here talking about how great John was and how much he meant to us. So I wanna pass, the phone around and have everybody give a little bit about, what John meant to them, and I'm gonna start with that. And mine is

2:49:35 couple of things I wanna say about John, and one of the things he used to say that always crack me up when he would go, oh, brother.

2:49:42 And the reason that meant so much to me is because my mother is the same exact age as John

2:49:47 and from a different part of the country,

2:49:49 but I guess they

2:49:51 their generation said the whole thing because when I'd be with my mom and we'd be playing cards and doing things and she'd brother. And it made me think of John. And then when John would say,

2:50:00 oh, brother, that would think make me think of my mom. So that was a really important thing to me, and it made me feel special with John and my mom. And the other thing and the one thing I'm gonna say that I won't take Celebrate's thunder because everybody's got probably the same thing to say, but I'm gonna miss the three by three. I love the three by three. So rest in peace, John C. Dvorak. I'm gonna pass the phone around, and, we're gonna get everybody else, thoughts about John.

2:50:23 Adam,

2:50:24 Mimi,

2:50:25 and all the Dvorak children,

2:50:27 hey. God bless you, keep you, make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you, look upon you with favor, and give you peace.

2:50:34 Next letter that comes from, quote, sir Animas, market return

2:51:30 Hey, NA. Doctor sir, my crotch.

2:51:33 I'm gonna miss

2:51:35 John saying my hey is rude.

2:51:38 I followed that guy for

2:51:41 literally

2:51:42 thirty three years

2:51:44 since I got a three eighty six

2:51:46 Packard Bell back in the day. And I had so many questions,

2:51:51 and he was my source. I love you guys. Long live NA. RIP, JCD. This is Cody with Cherry Street Brewing. These guys with No Agenda are awesome. Hell, yeah. Stay safe. Rest in peace, JCD.

2:52:16 And then we have a report from the North Idaho sanity brigade meetup,

2:52:20 head up by sir Scott the Jew who says apologies for the late submission.
