Oh my god, what a shocker! Adam Couric, John C.
Dvorak. It's Sunday, June 7th, 2026. This is your award-winning
Gimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1875. This is no agenda.
We... Photorama! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of
the Texas Hill Country. Agent number six. Good morning everybody,
I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we've
discovered the Antichrist. It's the iPhone. I'm John C. Dvorak.
In the morning. Well, a couple observations right off the
top here. One. You're coming to us from Northern Silicon
Valley. Which means you're back home. Yeah, I'm at the
house. Excellent. They're still banging away back there, working on
that place. What do you mean, banging? What happened? They're
redoing the bed. There's a bunch of work being done
on the house. Yeah. I'm making sure they don't wreck
the place. That's why I'm here. Is they Mimi? Does
she have a crew? Does she have a crew of
Mexicans? Illegal immigrants? It varies. So what do they do?
Well, first of all... Welcome back. Good to have you
back home. That's good news. Second of all, Are we
close to being able to see your studio? Well, you're
talking about the challenge for people who go to the
new Instagram No Agenda account, which is... no agenda podcast
yeah the official no agenda account on instagram And once
it gets to 5,000, we take a picture of the
studio. How close are we? I'm sorry, I don't keep
up with the Insta. I think we're around 3. 3,000?
yeah wow that that went pretty fast shouldn't we get
should we be like uh trending somewhere if we get
that many followers in one go i know we're not
oh those guys those guys are uh no no not
those guys just don't don't no no no no you
don't you know it's a fake anyway so why would
put them on it it's all fake. And what's this
with the Antichrist iPhone? I mean, is this a news?
I'm determined that the iPhone is the Antichrist. Why not?
Well, it's possible. I mean, is it only... Oh, I
see. I'm floating around. I'm seeing... I'm telling you, like,
yesterday, we went to the store, and there's, like, people
getting out of their car there. looking at the phone
as they get out, stumble out, walking into the store,
always eyes on the phone. I don't know how people
can navigate. I mean, you remember the early days of
these phones, people were banging into poles and walking over
curbs and falling into manholes. Yeah, sure. They stopped doing
that. There's this new radar or some sense that phone
has kept them from banging into stuff. You know what?
Go ahead. Walking around with the phone and the same
person comes out still looking at the phone. What is
on the phone? I don't think it's the Antichrist, I
think it's It's a national security issue. We are a
vulnerable. You don't think the anti-crisis is a national security
issue? Okay, fair point. Fair point. It's just these people,
I mean, we are very vulnerable as a country when
we have robots, you know, NPCs just roaming around looking
at their phones. That is a national security issue. And
you spotted a cup number years ago. Oh, 10 years
ago at least, maybe even longer. You spotted the fact
that people are walking around with their phone in their
hand. Yeah. You know, women mostly, but now men too,
men and women, walking around with the phone in their
hand. All the time. Yeah. You know, we forget that
this is happening. We kind of got used to it.
No, it's so normal now. I mean, on Mondays, I
go play chess with this guy. And so it means...
I park on Main Street and I get out. Is
this in the park? No, I park on Main Street.
No, I know. You park the car, yeah, but I'm
saying, is it in the park outside? No, no. Is
it a black guy, an old black guy? No. It's
inside a Java ranch. You know, your favorite, Java Ranch.
It's with Willie. That's why I play with Willie. And
he was not a black guy. And, uh, but just
walk. And so I have to, I have to cross
two streets. Two traffic lights. And all you see is
people walking with their phones, looking at their phones. It's
everywhere. It's rampant. And we've kind of gotten used to
it. It's a national security issue. And yes, if it
is the anti- Is it only the iPhone or is
Android also the antichrist? Well, obviously it's the smartphone in
general. Yeah. Because I see people looking at... They're all...
operate the same people are looking at them they're carrying
around it's the same you know no it's all the
phones all the smartphones And what are we going to
do with it? Everything but a flip phone. And I'm
not even so sure about that. Yeah. Well, you know,
I had to give up on the flip phone because
they made it impossible to communicate. If you don't have
RCS, then you can't communicate with the Antichrist people on
the iPhone. Yeah, but it's not people communicating with each
other so much, it's they're just... Well, no, I understand
what you're saying. But if you have a flip phone,
it used to be doable when everything was still kind
of over. SMS or you know It's like you had.
MMS. Remember this protocol? Yeah, MMS. So someone will send
out a video to me and it comes in like...
You know, like a little postage stamp because you can't
see that because everyone's doing it over IP. All the
iPhones and the iPhones got connected to the Android with
RCS. And, you know, it was really Apple that screwed
all this up. They had their own little protocol. And
then, you know, you couldn't participate. You can't be in
a text group anymore. And if it actually worked, then
people yell at you. Who's the green bubble? Who's the
green bubble? Who's ruining my text group? Yeah, that's me
now. Anyway, so. How's that voting going in California? Oh,
I do have a clip. Oh, please. What's your clip?
Yeah, we got Stella, one of our podcast friends. Stella,
the Stella Show. Yes. Talks about the Cal voting situation.
U.S. Attorney Bill Assele says his office... has multiple election
fraud investigations now underway in coordination with the FBI as
California officials are still counting the ballots from this week's
primary. It could go on for weeks and weeks and
weeks. What is your reaction to this? Because I know
you're following it very closely. I mean, this is your
lane. This is what you do. It is about time
that. all eyes are on California's election process. And we're
looking at 37 days to get counted for our mail-in
ballots. And it's just about time. And I'm really appreciative
of Bill Asseili. You know, he was a former assembly
member and he has always done everything he could to
possibly bring some course correction to our state. It's incredible.
You know, I ran for state assembly. And so I
looked at our voter rolls. People were registered to vote
in empty parking lots and old houses and buildings. It's
about time that we start cleaning this mess up because
we deserve to be represented. And, you know, California is
such a beautiful state, but we've got a problem. So
there's a fighting chance right now. Voting infrastructure that... that
the Democrats and Gavin has created here allows for this.
We have every single Californian and even Californians who have
left the state are getting mail-in ballots. You can register
same day and get a provisional ballot. It is incredible
that there's no voter ID. We're seeing helicopters bringing in
ballots. Why is this even happening? Gavin actually had the
nerve to go on to his public platform and pass
SB 73 saying that the signatures on mail-in ballots no
longer have to be verified. So, you know, what exactly
does that do? That enables cheaters to happen. So they're
really bringing in ballots with helicopters? yeah there was a
bunch of choppers coming in that's great dropping off dropping
off ballots by the truckload talk about an airdrop well
since you played stella let me play state of daniel
this uh there's one of our podcast friends last night
there was a drop of about who's not gay 24
000 ballots and spencer did not get a single one
let's take a look at the results over here. So
last night, you can see before the drop, it was
308, 878,000. After the drop, 333,712,000. And as you can
see, Spencer Pratt did not gain a single vote. He
still had, before and after the drop, 86,323. Meanwhile, all
of the other contenders here, all of the other candidates...
did gain vote totals. What are the odds of that?
That, quite frankly, is impossible. By the way, when that
24,000 vote drop came in, there were also drops that
included the votes for governor. What are the odds here
that even Steve Hilton would be gaining votes overnight, but
none for Spencer Pratt? Are people not voting down? No.
Are they just voting for governor and they're not voting
for L.A.' 's mayoral race? I get that there are
many people voting for governor who would not be able
to vote in this mayoral race. Like, obviously, if you
live in the northernmost part of California, you would not
be eligible to vote for L.A.' 's mayor. But you're
telling me that not a single person who cast a
ballot in those. 24,000 votes in LA. Not a single
one. Voted for mayor, but they voted for governor. All
of this just does not make sense. That's almost like
the election where you saw the counts go down live
on TV. Yeah, the counts reversed. That was great. That
was fantastic. Some of the negative votes for Trump during
that Biden election. Let's move. From our podcast crew to
Ms. Now. President Trump is sticking with the playbook, election
denial. The president hopped on Truth Social, as he does
on most nights, to claim without a doubt. I like
the election denial. Then said Democrats were, quote, trying to
steal the primaries for California governor and L.A. mayor. He
offered, surprise, surprise, no. facts to support no facts no
evidence claim pointing only to a predictably slow counting process
in a state wait a minute is this Now, let
me ask you a question. You're in California. You're the
man on the scene, boots on the ground. I'm the
boots on the ground. California. Is this predictable, this slow
counting process? Is this something that... always happens with California?
It's been getting progressively worse ever since Newsom got in
office. It never used to be this way. In fact,
there was a couple of memes floating around showing them,
you know. finishing the vote count within two or three
days of the election. And that's been stretching and stretching,
largely due to the fact that Newsom decided to Newsom.
And, you know, you can't just blame Newsom. It's also
the state legislature. They're the ones who create the bull
crop. And they, uh... decided to send everybody whether you
ask for you don't have to ask for absentee ballots.
Years ago, if you wanted to vote by mail, you
had to request. Yeah, you had to request it. You
get a package. A package. If you signed this package
and sent the package back, then they send you an
absentee ballot. No, everybody gets an absentee ballot. We continue.
Portis claim pointing only to a predictably slow counting process.
in a state with a huge volume of mail-in voters.
which has always been the case and he is always
known after all he's now been in politics for more
than 12 years joining us former democratic congressman for new
york and Senior advisor for VoteVets, Max Rose. James Sample,
still with us as well. All right, so. All right.
Is this Katie Turr? Turr? Yes, Turr. It's got to
be. It sounds like her. She's so snide. Yeah, well,
that's what you do. Very slowly, Max. Very slowly. Very
slowly. It's always been the case. How much? It's always
been the case. Oh, what? I got boots on the
ground here that says that's not true. They do count
very slowly, Max. Very slowly. But this has always been
the case. How much traction does he get? on an
accusation like that. This is what Donald Trump always does.
Yeah, it's kind of tiresome, isn't it? It's horrifying because...
I think really the Democratic Party has turned. I'm so
tired of these people saying Democratic Party. We really have
to keep calling this out because it just it makes
it sound like they're democratic, but they're not. Democrat party.
Come on, dude. Amidst the I think really. The Democratic
Party has turned itself in the right direction in terms
of its willingness to go on the offense, its willingness
to really use the power at its disposal. It's been
a change, right direction. On this front, though, I still
think it's a blind spot that somehow there's this thing
about Donald Trump where we're like, you know, yeah. 2020,
did the steal, January 6th, the whole thing. That won't
happen again. There's zero doubt in my mind. that he
will be using this language and attempting to use the
powers at his disposal for this midterm election. So he
said they're under investigation. The California vote process is under
investigation. Under investigation. Should we take him at his word
that it's under investigation and that something might be happening
at DOJ? We should take him at his word that
he wants there to be an investigation, and we should
take him at his word that what he wants from
DOJ, he typically gets. Yes, of course, he gets that.
Now, wait, wait, wait. We should take him at his
word that he wants there to be... An investigation? When
did he say he wanted... That's not his words. No.
Well, how can we take him at his words when
they misquote him? This whole station is set up to
defend the Democrat Party. I mean, we know this. The
station is pathetic. Well. So This morning on... Face the
press, spank the press, meet the press, meet the press.
Spank Depressed. That would be a great show. Wouldn't that,
though? Can you imagine? Who would host? Well, Manhans Welker
is hosting Meet the Press. Well, she'd be perfect. She's
got the hands. for it. Have her spanking the press.
So she was in Wisconsin interviewing the president and things
did not go well for her. Just to be very
clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. No evidence.
No evidence. No evidence. Let me ask you about Todd
Blanche. Listen to me. Listen to me. Let's talk about
Todd Blanche. This tremendous evidence is. nothing but evidence. The
election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's
happening again right now in California. It's happening right now
in California. Right now, it's looking, look at what's happening
in California. It's four days in California. It's, no, they're
not, they're dropping fast because... It's a rigged election. Let
me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even
close to coming up with it. You know why they're
doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. Do you
have evidence to support that? All I have to do
is look. All I have to do is look. That's
not evidence. And I listen. And I listen to people.
And let's see what happens. But sir, that's not evidence.
Do you think it's appropriate? That's how they do it.
Count the votes in California. Do you think it's appropriate
that they have an election and five days later they're
nowhere close to picking the winner? State and local officials
acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. No, they're crooked. They're
urging the votes to be counted. That's how they vote
in California. You're crooked just like you're crooked. Your press
is crooked. Oh, here we go. You're crooked. Oh, here
we go. Here we go. Here we go. No, they're
crooked. They're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted
quickly. That's how they vote in California. They're crooked, just
like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. And meet the
press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked. Really?
Well, you play right into their hands. To be fair,
Mr. President, I'm not crooked. To be fair, I'm not
crooked. Just to be fair now. Let's be fair now.
I'm not crooked, Mr. President. That is a great... Isn't
that great? To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's
continue. Really? Well, you play right into their hands then.
Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play
right into their hands with this rep. You know that
these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged.
You know that I won an election. in a landslide
and I got 94% bad press. You know why I
got that? Because you have no credibility. No, that's wrong.
That was a mistake he made. What did he say?
He says, I got a 94% I don't know. Whatever.
promoting himself he says and then no you know you
got 94 bad press after being a winning in a
landslide as he calls it not 93 And he says,
why? Because you have no credibility? No, no, he was
on the crooked theme, pounding home crooked. and then he
switches it to credibility. That was a blunder. Well, he's
about to rectify it. Elections are rigged. Your network knows
that they're rigged. You know that I won an election
in a landslide and I got 94% bad press. But
Mr. President, you've never presented evidence. You know why I
got that? Because you have no credibility. But you've never
presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about
it. I want to talk about Todd Lynch. You have
more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk
about it. Your elections in this country, we're like a
third world country. Your elections are crooked. And you're crooked.
And Mr. Press is crooked. And so is ABC and
CBS. and CNN. Your one-sided crooked network. Let's call it
quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a
good time. And he walks off the set. This is
the best part. You know, there's a Welker standing... No,
hold on. What? Now, I didn't get to see this
because it was, you know... Past my bedtime. I was
still getting up. Yeah. I understood the whole thing was
50 minutes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It wasn't like he
just walked in and walked off. No, I didn't say
that. No, I know you didn't say it, but it
sounds like it, the way it comes across. Well, it's
because I'm playing a clip. 50 minutes? How much time
is he supposed to be there? I mean, I'm playing
a clip, but the point is... He says, okay, we're
done. He pulls off the mic, gets up. Thanks, darling.
You're crooked. And then Welker is, her eyes are bugging
out of her head. She's like looking at the producer,
looking at the crew like. Like, what just happened here?
Now, is this the one that aired? This is what
aired, yeah. Because I know they put a... transcript and
they i guess they posted a secondary complete interview well
somewhere so at the end They come back to her
in the studio. And here's what she says. Please, I
travel all the way to Wisconsin. This is actually the,
this is how it went on air. I travel all
the way to Wisconsin. On and off in the rain,
and I've given you enough time. You hear what he
says? I've given you an hour, he says this. I
travel all the way to Wisconsin. On and off in
the rain, and I've given you enough time. You ought
to straighten out your press because you know what? A
country can never be great with a dishonest press. Listen,
we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the press.
There goes the microphone. Now they switch back to the
studio and here's her tag. I spoke with President Trump
on Saturday and we both acknowledged the complications during the
interview posed by the rain. He agreed to sit down
with me for another Meet the Press interview. It's because
of the rain, I say. Okay. Well, there was some
talk about the rain. They were in a barn with
a tin roof. Yeah, with a tractor in the back.
It was raining and they had to cut it a
number of times and they had to stop them. interview
a number of times supposedly according to the report i
read the whole thing was crazy The whole thing was
crazy. Now, there was some... There's a Supreme Court case
that may stop some of these ballots. I have a,
this is back to Muz now. Tell me about SCOTUS
and mail-in ballots. Well, so there's a pending, I mean,
California, we're tracking the mail-in vote. We're tracking how long
it takes them to count. California is one of the
states that allows for a grace period for ballots that
are postmarked. by election day, but arrive. It's not just
a ballot that goes right into a post box. You
have to get it posted and signed off on, certified
essentially by somebody at the post office. Just as when
you mail your taxes, you can mail them out on
April 15th at 11 o'clock at night if you can
get to a post office and make sure you get
that postmarked. The IRS isn't going to reject your money,
but there is a movement afoot to reject votes that
would meet that same standard. And the Supreme Court has
a case pending before it right now called Watson v.
Republican National Committee that has not yet been decided. And
at oral argument, there were essentially three groups of three.
There are three votes that were a little bit... hard
to read based on oral argument. There are clearly three
votes to end this practice by this, to have the
Supreme Court end this practice. There may be five votes
to end the practice. Would it be retroactive? It would
not be retroactive. There's no way you could make it
retroactive. Certainly not for California. Well, could it work for
November if they decided? Yes, conceivably. That would be a
massive change. There's a principle called the Purcell Principle. which
says we shouldn't interfere, but realistically... Alabama. Right, right. Realistically,
this Supreme Court applies that principle when it's convenient for
this Supreme Court to apply that principle for its partisan
ends. Yeah, okay. Well, we'll see where that goes. Nowhere.
There was a... See, this is a... It was an
interesting commentary on Kate. about why they are taking so
much time. Tonight, election fraud investigations underway in L.A. as
some, including Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton, express their
frustration that final results of Tuesday's primary election could be
weeks away. This is an absolute... shambles, a humiliation for
California. It is making our state a laughingstock here in
America. President Trump, without releasing any evidence, accusing Democrats of,
quote, grieving the election, saying Americans are ashamed of what
is happening. U.S. Attorney Bill Assele announcing his office is
coordinating with the... FBI in multiple investigation. But political experts
say there is nothing to indicate widespread election fraud. And
the delay is expected because of California's mail-in ballot process.
It's nothing fraudulent. It's nothing untoward. The reason it's taking
a long time is that. The people counting the ballots
take their time matching signatures. Oh, that's it. Matching signatures.
Please. SB25, they mentioned in the Stella podcast, says you
don't have to do that anymore. According to... The bill,
SB 25- I'm sorry, SB 75 that Newsom signed says
you don't have to match the signatures. So how does
this come into play? Well, they're lying. Somebody's lying. Yeah.
Well. For sure, we will not see Xavier Becerra. He's
the guy now leading? *laughs* Yeah. Wasn't he healthy? Didn't
we laugh him out of town when he was at
Health and Human Services? Now he's the front runner? He's
the front runner in California? I think he was. Was
he the one that was impeached, too, I think? It
might have been. Let's ask the robot. Yeah, look it
up. That's a good one. Book of Knowledge. Was Javier
Becerra impeached? when he was in HHS. Let's see. I
think you're right. Well, one of them was. I think
it was him. It could have been. It could have
been. Well, it's taken a long time to figure it
out. According to the Book of Knowledge, Xavier Becerra served
as the 25th United States Secretary of Health. and human
services under President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2005. But
no impeachment proceedings occurred during his tenure. It was the
Homeland Security guy that was impeached. Oh, yeah, you're right.
Different brown guy. Yeah, Becerra was a do-nothing, do-nothing. guy.
He oversaw the vacs. Isn't he a pharma guy? Yeah,
he's a big pharma, he's a big business guy. The
advantage that he has, or the only good news for
him, is that he's like pro-refinery. And well, he's pro-oil.
He's pro-oil. He's big oil. Chevron has paid, financed his
campaign. What? The Jews haven't done it? Well, no, the
Jews, I think the Jews want to stire. So Steyer's
out. Of course. How could they fail? Nobody likes Steyer.
Steyer's a creep. Yeah, but how could he fail? fail.
I mean, he had all the money. I'm sure he
had APAC. And how can it fail? I don't understand.
People always tell me. If you got all the money,
then you win. You should also mention the fact that
I was watching one of these old clips and Hillary
had twice as much money as Trump in 2016. How
come she didn't win? I'm just saying. Twice as much.
Anomaly. So we were pretty much correct about Pulte. Now,
is Pulte the guy? That was probably more you than
me on this one. Is he the guy from the
big construction company? Is that this Pulte? Isn't there a
Pulte Construction? I don't know if it's the same guy
or not. But he's definitely got nothing to do with
intelligence. I think it's one of these things. I think
Trump does this a lot. I'm going to put you
up for this. You're going to be able to say
you're going to put in your bio that you were
nominated. Your wife's going to like it. Everybody's going to
think you're great, but you're not going to get it.
Well. The theory goes a little deeper. Let's listen first
to CBS. Now we're taking you to Washington where acting
Attorney General Todd Blanch has just confirmed that a controversial
$1.8 billion payout fund for Trump allies has now been
totally canceled. In the meantime, there's new controversy over the
president's decision to name a close... ally as acting director
of national intelligence. Weijia Zhang is at the White House
with the latest on this. Weijia, good morning to you.
What's the issue? Good morning, Gail. Good morning to everybody.
President Trump passed over other high-ranking intelligence officials and appointed
Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency,
to also be the acting director. of National Intelligence. When
we asked the White House about why Potee was picked
for the role, they only said he would do a
great job. President Trump named Bill Potee to oversee 18
intelligence agencies and organizations, touting his, quote, deep experience managing
the most sensitive matters in America. But even some Republicans
were quick to point out those sensitive matters don't include
national security. No evidence of any qualifications for that. No
evidence. The director of national intelligence position was created after
9-11 to coordinate communication for the intelligence community. Pulte currently
runs. an agency that regulates home loans. I don't know
of any national security experience he has. Dr. Mehmet Oz,
who led Tuesday's White House press briefing. Good afternoon, everybody.
Said he didn't know anything about Pocchi's situation, but added.
I do trust the president's judgment. He is a very
sharp and quick study. I love the, CBS does this
a lot. They're doing very, very short quotes from everybody,
just popping it. I mean, I have to say, it's
fast, but it's all, you know, it's either a gnat
pop or it's going to be a quote of, you
know, there's no evidence he has any experience. And he
is the home builder. It is the Pulte home builder.
according to the total. Okay, that makes sense, because he
would be a FHA guy, sure. Yeah, of course. Here's
a second clip. Pulte also earned the president's praise for
pushing prosecutions of the president's perceived political opponents. Like California's
Perceived political opponents. This is great. Senator Adam Schiff, New
York Attorney General. That's not perceived. That's a political opponent.
Tisha James and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for alleged
mortgage fraud. We refer people who are Democrats, Republicans, it
doesn't matter. Congress doesn't have a role in confirming acting
cabinet-level officials like Potee or Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch.
fund is something that President Trump talked about for a
long time. Blanche faced fierce backlash even after the Justice
Department dropped plans to set up a proposed one point
which is really inherently dishonest. Yeah, but the way they're
doing it, I like it because it keeps the pace
and flow going like crazy. It's augmenting, it's not... confirm
in other words they don't say something and then the
guy says the same thing exactly blanch faced fierce backlash
even after the justice department dropped plans to set up
a proposed 1.8 billion dollar fund to pay people who
feel they were victims of government weaponization But we are
not moving forward with the fund, period. A federal judge
ruled to temporarily block the fund until next month, but
Blanche says even after that date, the administration will not
try to... Okay, so now we go to the president
himself. It's an acting position. It's not a permanent. He's
not going to be permanent because, you know, I don't
think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very
smart guy, and you may find out some things about
the rigged elections, et cetera, et cetera. I think you'd
like to do it. I'd like to. I think he
wants to do it very much. Got a lot of
energy. But he'll be very good. A lot of energy.
Again, it's not a permanent position. We're interviewing people right
now. But it's somebody just to... Take it over for
a little while. Does he have a necessary, in your
view, Mr. President, a necessary national security experience to take
on that position? Well, I do, and I think he
does, actually, because he's smart. He's smart. His national security
experience. Yeah, he's smart. So what we deconstructed. is that
this what he's doing here is getting a guy bull
in a china shop look at this look at this
look at this look at this and there's a guy
behind him which is the same guy who was behind
tulsi and that's the guy he said okay here's bill
pulte he's going to be the acting director of national
intelligence which has them completely in a conniption fit. Why?
Because Pulte is like a bull in a china shop.
And my friend The NSA veteran, Kirk Wiebe, once told
me, I asked him the question. How would you go
about reforming the deep state? What would you do? And
he said, first, you need some... with a chainsaw weed
whacker who's willing to go in there and just Tear
everything down. And then you need somebody from the intelligence
community who actually knows how to direct the weed whacker
to where he's got to go. So Tulsi Gabbard did
that in the first term. capable of doing that. He's
got Tulsi Gabbard's chief assistant, Aaron Lucas, who is the
deputy DNI under Tulsi, to show him exactly where to
go. And people like Mark Warner, the senator who was
probably most responsible for Russiagate. is completely flipping out. He
says, this guy's going to have access to every classified
secret in the United States. What does that mean? In
his interview with Miranda Devine yesterday, Trump hinted at it.
He kept coming back over and over again to the
rigging of the 2020 elections. And my bet. is the
way he's seeing Pulte is this is the guy who
can prevent the fraud coming up in the midterms. All
right. So chainsaw weed whacker. There you go. Who is
that? Who said that? Who was that last? Clip from
Barbara Boyd. Is that a Prometheus person? Yes. Old lady.
Yeah. They have a bunch of them. They only have
two of them. Well, it seems like a bunch to
me, Susan and Barbara, but. I mean, that's the guy.
He's been a spook for 20 years. Of course he
knows where everything is. And you get Pulte, yeah, I'm
sure the guy's going to have fun. It's just like
demoing a house. This is basically, in the private sector,
this is the same act that we're seeing with Nick
Shirley. Oh, do tell. Nick Shirley's always got some guy.
Oh yeah, yeah, he has Dave. Bob. Bob or Dave
or... Fred, there's some guy telling him what to do.
Yes, yes, exactly right. It's fantastic. It's a good bit
because you have a front man. And then when all
hell breaks loose and you got to ax him, you
just, okay, you're out. Yeah. And but meanwhile, the real
damage is being done by the second guy there. He's
still there. And you bring another front man in, he
does the same exact thing. It doesn't make any difference
who it is. And so the whole thing, it reminds
me, there used to be a... The guy who ran
Computer World and IDP. Oh, here we go. Here we
go. I'm already loving it. I'm already loving it. This
is the one I've not heard. I don't think I've
heard this one. It's possible. I have told this before
because it's a very good story. It's not my story.
It's a story that everyone knows. Pat McGovern used to
run Computer World, Info World, all these magazines, and IDG,
the publishing company, is really big in Asia. They're everywhere.
And Pat used his gambit. He'd do the same. He
pulled a similar kind of stunt to have somebody who
was a... Like just a prick writing nasty stuff. By
the way, that's a classic word we need to bring
back. Prick is not used often enough because, you know,
it's a word you can use. People aren't offended, but
it really explains like a, just a nasty. Yeah, beyond
a dick. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's dick and beyond. So
this guy, so the idea, so he'd create these people
that didn't exist and he'd have somebody. Ghost writing. for
him. So he had all these different writers that would
go on and on and on about something or other
and they'd slam some company and say, these guys are
no good. Of course, this may be a company that
didn't advertise a lot. There's a lot of reasons to
do it. Obviously. and it would get the company all
bent out of shape. And so McGovern would always go
up to the company and say, well, you know, if
you guys maybe advertise a little bit. Well, we can
advertise, but that guy's got to go. And McGovern would
always say, no problem, I'm firing him tomorrow. Some guy
who didn't exist. A guy who didn't exist. That's perfect.
He's out. He's out. We're with you, buddy. That's great.
Do you think that stuff must still happen at publications,
I'm sure? Sure it does. Everything is like that. When
we mess up, we're going to fire our producer. That
guy's gotta go. So this next clip, because we're kind
of moving into... Todd Blanch, which everyone is also really
upset about because he's the president's personal lawyer. How many
times have we heard this? Oh, the attorney general's acting
like the president's personal lawyer. Now it actually is his
personal lawyer and they're losing their minds over it. But
I caught this on Miz Now. I'm obsessed with Miz
Now. It's so bad. I must be single-handedly raising their
ratings through the roof. Listen to this. Doubling them. Blanche
has been auditioning for this since Bondi was ousted in
April. Auditioning! Oh yeah! And pushing to go even farther
than she would on cases that even if they ultimately
lose or are overturned, reflect Trump's demands for a partisan,
political, revenge-oriented DOJ. The move does follow on what Trump
wanted in Telegraph. Many are concerned that this obvious... Legal.
Conflict will only get worse if he goes from temporary
to permanent. Remember, it is a scandal and a legal
breach. Isn't that Ari Flyer, the guy with the 6
o'clock shadow? The guy who does rap lyrics at the
end of his show. I remember in the great words
of Q West. Conflict will only get worse if he
goes from temporary to permanent. Remember, it is a scandal
and a legal breach in and of itself for any
president to take someone who was their personal defense attorney,
someone who was loyal to them on a personal basis,
and say they should also run the DOJ, run the
law firm, if you will, for the country. Because throughout
modern history... of the DOJ, it was a huge dividing
line that it is supposed to be independent. That of
course, any president is entitled to their... Well, this is
a very good question. He says modern history, but let's
just go through the history because I did a deep
dive. Oh good for you. Let's start with... Number one,
George Washington. His... Department of Justice. This is he actually
established. This is before the Department of Justice was established.
This is 1789. Edmund Randolph. was his private personal attorney.
managing his extensive personal legal affairs and estates in Virginia,
and he appointed him as the nation's very first U.S.
Attorney General. Huh. Well, there's the precedent has been set.
The precedent has been set. The precedent has been set.
Let's go to Warren G. Harding, 1921. Harry Daugherty, Ohio
lawyer who served Harding's personal attorney, close political confidant. Upon
taking office, Harding appointed Daugherty. as Attorney General. Well, there
you have it. That's pretty modern. Now, how about this
one? This is my favorite because it's not just the
old guys. It's not just the Republicans. John F. Kennedy
literally appointed his brother. Robert F. Kennedy. There you go.
As his brother, his brother became Attorney General. Yeah, there's
no conflict there, that's not crazy. Richard Nixon. appointed John
Mitchell. And Richard, he was Nixon's law partner at their
firm. Ronald Reagan, William French Smith, and Edwin Meese. Both
in the inner circle. And, of course, George W. Bush
with Alberto Gonzalez. So this is bull crap. This is
bull crap. This is basically a lie being put on
the poor, dumb viewers of MS Now. Low IQ viewers
is how we call that. Yes, exactly. So this whole
thing... But, you know, it's a new day, it's a
new dawn. I guess that's, I guess that's, I don't
know. I don't know what I'm saying, but you know,
you know what I mean? Since we're talking about the
Department of Justice, I have an interesting little tidbit for
you. Okay. This is an Ask Adam. Oh, hold on
a second. You surprised me with the Ask Adam, but...
Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Yeah. All right. Here we go.
Ask Adam. What are we doing? So this is... I
want you to listen to this clip. And this is
about Hegseth. Talking about, you know, he hexes. came out
with this speech that got all the EU people bent
out of shape saying you guys are on D-Day. It's
a D-Day speech. Yeah, June 6th, yes. We had D-Day
yesterday for people. It wasn't celebrating the United States at
all anymore. Nobody cares. 22,000 dead on the beach, but
now that's... Whatever. Let's skip it. Yeah. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.
Yeah. Okay. So this is Ask Adam Hegseth on EU.
The US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsov has criticized European nations
for allowing what he described as an invasion of migrants
on their shores during a D-Day anniversary speech in France.
Speaking in Normandy, he said different European beaches were being
invaded by dangerous ideologies. Sadly, today, different European beaches are
stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy,
in Greece, Bulgaria, boats. And men arrive. When will European
capitals do something about that invasion? Migration has become a
major political issue across Europe with parties supporting hardline immigration
policies surging in the polls. Ask Adam, ask Adam, will
he know or will he want to know? ♪ Slow
as cattle ♪ Answer the question. Go. All right. What
is the question? Well, this is a BBC report, and
I'm asking you, what subtle insult? to the Trump administration
was made in that clip. That doesn't come to mind
immediately. No. Because you didn't catch it right away. So
I'm going to play a short clip. Yes. Which is
another BBC clip with another presenter doing the same insult.
The U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has called on European
countries. to resist what he called an invasion of foreign
migrants. An invasion of four... Wait, she said countries, which
was... That caught my ear right away. He's the Secretary
of War. Oh. The U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hagsner, was
called on European... countries to resist what he called an
invasion of foreign migrants. Yeah, very good. Very good. I
did not pick up on that. No, because it's meant
for you not to. They're just not giving, you know,
we don't care what you call it. We're going to
call it what we're going to call it. We're British.
You're right. It's not the Gulf of America. I tell
you, it's the Gulf of Mexico. So we have, uh,
panic. Panic, everybody, panic! Panic! here in Texas. The new
world screw worm. The new world screw worm. The screw
worm is back. So, Texas Slim. stayed here overnight. He's
on his way to, uh, Baylor White. Baylor Scott White
Hospital. He has like acute pancreatitis. Not from drinking, because
he hasn't, I don't think he's had a drink in
a decade. Yeah, how do you get it from drinking?
It's just something else. It's like a virus. So I
really want everybody, you know, think of Slim. Pray for
Slim. It's not great. And Slim is even slimmer than
he was. But, you know, this is Mr. Beef Intelligence,
and he's like... oh man, this screw worm. He told
me the whole history of the screw worm. He said,
back in the day. He had screw worm. Yeah, we
had screw worm. And you dug a trough and you
walked all the cows through it with poison and they
came out the other end and the screw worm was
gone. That's what we did with screw worm. It was
that simple. I said, but now, he says, now there's
two things. One, the vaccine's got to be coming. We've
got to have a vaccine for the screwworm. And the
other one is really... What's this? What? A vaccine against
a worm. course it's ridiculous he says it's just to
reduce the herd even further they're going to want to
call them you know it's all regulatory capture is what
he said i listened to because you know slim is
the one who said six years ago Our herd's going
to go down. You have no idea how bad it's
going to get. Now, he said to me last night,
he said, there's going to be a famine within 90
days. It may not be America. It could be Asia.
This is a very big problem. And there's a couple
of things I caught in this. Fox. Live Now report.
Does he think this famine is being... the wood. Don't
change. so quickly? What is the indicator for a famine
and what is the trigger? Well, the trigger is stuff
like this, where the herd gets reduced to where, I
mean, have you been to a restaurant lately and ordered
a... A ribeye? I mean, you're talking $89. $1,000. There's
literally in Austin at, what is that place called? Three
Forks, Five Forks, I don't know, Fork and Spoon. It's
a fancy restaurant. Do you get one of those Flintstone
ribeyes? What is it called? What's the big one called?
You know, the huge one? Yeah, bone-in. Yeah, no, no,
but big, like you eat it with three people. Oh,
a double cut. No, no, no, no, no. No, a
high collar. No, what is that thing called? A low
pocket. No, what is that thing? Come on, there's a
name for it. It's a tomahawk, the jumbo tomahawk. A
tomahawk steak, yeah. They sell them at Costco. Those things
are great. How much do you think they charge for
it at the fancy restaurant in Austin? And you can,
three people can eat. You could do four if you
really wanted to. but you and I could probably devour
one ourselves. Well, maybe not. You need three people. What
is the price, do you think, in the fancy Austin
restaurant for a jumbo? tomahawk rib eye. A jumbo tomahawk
rib at a fancy Austin, which is overpriced. This is
New York prices. Yep. For some unknown reason. I would
say $95. $875. What? No. Yes. Yes. Dude, I was
in a... What? Yes, I was in Nashville and one
little stupid rib by $110. We didn't eat it, by
the way. We didn't go to the restaurant. $110 for
just a little ribeye. No, no. It's out of control.
Let's back this up. $895 for a... $875. 875. 875,
the Tomahawk, which you can buy at Costco, by the
way, for about... 50 bucks maybe? 40? No, I don't
think it's that much. It's probably less. Like 30. No,
that's the best price. So, but this is what's happening.
And I'm sure that, you know, There's a whole bunch
of things that come into this. Well, hold on a
second. This doesn't cost them. What are they marking the
thing up and why? Well, the thing that Slim told
me years ago. Or maybe they don't have it and
it's just bull crap. No. I'm going back to what
he said five, six years ago. ago. He says, mark
my words. He says, Texas beef will be sold as
caviar. You remember that? You're saying it's gonna be like
caviar. And that's what's happening. And as a little aside,
we don't get most of this beef. Most of this
beef is going to the rich Chinese and the Japanese,
and it's all going overseas. We're not even eating Texas
beef, which brings me to this report. First about the
scary screwworm. So first of all, let's just break down
what exactly this new world screwworm is and the threat
that it poses to livestock. Yeah, so like you said
earlier, it is a fly and it's a parasitic blowfly
and it lays eggs on wounds. of animals or any
type of opening or orifice that it has access to
and then those larvae will hatch off and start eating
on the flesh of that animal. And when it eats
this flesh, I mean, like, does it just eat away
at the whole animal? Well, I mean, since it's fly
larvae, it is a little tough for them to eat
and consume an entire animal, but they will. feed on
it and make wounds very grotesque in a sense and
what really ends up happening is the animal doesn't survive
these infestations so normally the animal will pass before full
consumption by the larva, but the impact is severe while
they're there and while they're feeding. Okay. So now this
is... I think it's Laredo where this happened. They've got
a 12-mile radius zone. And the worm doesn't fly, okay?
It doesn't like jump, fly around. I'm going to go
hit hill country. I'm going to go over here. No,
it doesn't. You have to have contact, pretty much contact.
with the other animal to get that. But now listen
to this piece. Unfortunately, it began moving out of South
America through Central America and up into Mexico a couple
years ago, right? We've been watching it since 2022 or
2023. But most of that movement is due to moving
of animals that were infested with these. larva and when
you move those animals without treating them ahead of time
it can lead to further infestations in other areas. So
what's wrong with this picture? It comes from animals that
were moved up from Mexico and South America. This is
beef country. That's not a Texas cow! They're moving. We're
eating the crap. That's what's going on. You go to
the supermarket, H-E-B, you're eating South American crap that has
been touched by Lord knows how many hands, what they've
injected into these animals to get them here. And our
beef, the big Flintstone stuff, that's going overseas. This is
not even our beef. Why are we driving cattle up
through Texas? We got cattle. Now, it doesn't matter because
we need to reduce the herd. They're probably, well, you
got to cull them or shoot them up, which will
make them inedible and make them die eventually as well.
So how do we, what do you do? So wait,
let's back up. So initially. In the olden days, they
would just run them through a bath and that would
be the end of it. Yep. a poison bat which
you do which you can do with dogs too uh
you know it's kind of bastard or Got malathion in
them or whatever it is. Yeah. What's wrong with that
process? No, there's no more knowledge. It's all... you know
It's all... rules and regulations that have been written over
decades. and you know it's regulations these regulations these regulators
coming now you can't do that It's toxic. Yeah. It
gets into the groundwater. Exactly. And maybe Brooke Rollins, I
think that's her name, our Ag Secretary, maybe she'll figure
this out. But the media, and this is Fox. They
still want to scare you. They want to scare the
bejesus out of you. Now, how do we scare Americans?
What's the best way? You're gonna die. No, even worse
than you dying. Your children are going to die. No,
worse than the kids. I don't know. Your dog! Let's
talk about pets. There are a lot of dog owners
out there, a lot of cat owners out there. Do
they need to be worried? Can this impact their pets?
Definitely. Especially if you're in an area. Definitely. I don't
know if we have anybody listening from outside the United
States, but if you're in an area, you definitely need
to be concerned if the screwworms have returned in that
area. And in that area of Texas right now, we
do want to watch our pets. We want to look
at them just as much as we would our livestock
because, yes, they will infest animals. Dogs seem to be.
high on the list right now out of Mexico, not
as high as cattle, but still over 5,000 have been
identified as having infestations, and that's a large number. Is
this, does it pose a threat to humans? Yes, even
humans have to be concerned. It is rare in humans,
and even rarer in birds. We get asked a lot
about that too. Now it's like a 1% or so
or less of the population of the cases they've recorded
that impact humans. But we still, we want humans to
be aware it is a possibility. I wouldn't put high
on your list, but we still want them to realize
that it is, it can happen. We've had cases of
it over the last several days. decades of travelers going
to places where they still can get into, where they
still find New World's screw worms, and then coming back
to the United States with infestations. Yeah, you should still
be worried, no matter what you say. Be worried, be
worried. You want to hear the CBS version of this,
and we'll close it out? Yeah, and I'd be very
interested to see if they use the Nat Pop style
of... of analysis. We've been holding off the fly for
years from Panama. Scientists developed a way in the 60s
to breed sterile screw worm flies. Then when they would
drop them out of airplanes, by the millions, the flies
out in the wild were unable to reproduce. Using that
strategy, they pushed this fly south, out of the United
States, out of Mexico, all the way down through Central
America, using that exact same strategy. During the pandemic, there
were some breakdowns in the process and in surveillance. There
was additional movement of people and animals to the north.
People? The fly. What? The people with screwworms, come on.
Screwworms started to spread again. And I rubbed against the
cow and the cow got my screwworm. Once that became
evident, the U.S. started devoting more resources to trying to
stop it. They started to prepare a location in Mexico
to breed more sterile flies. They prepared an old base
in the South U.S. to be able to receive sterile
flies and drop them again. And right now the work
is ongoing to try to breed sterile flies again in
the U.S. That in itself is significant. Researchers have told
me that the flies considered to be so dangerous, they
can't even get their hands on live samples. They've had
to go south to Panama. to study them. They were
all over the place. Nah, this is bogus. So, do
you know who got money to do this? This is
going to kill you. What company in America, amongst many
others, got money to do the sterile fly, the sterile
mosquito, the sterile ticks. Bill Gates. Now, we already know
he does. No, Google. Google. Google, yes. Oh, yeah. You
know what? I did know this because I saw this
run past the wire. Yep. Google. Yeah, Google. How does
that even work? Say Kessler. Go, yeah, right? Why don't
you go make your AI better, Google? If these flies
impact the ability of ranchers to have calves, they have
to limit the seasons because they can't have calves in
the warm season when the fly is active. That starts
to impact how much they're able to rebuild their herds.
There you go. It impacts. the ability of wildlife to
survive. And yes, in some cases, it could impact pets
and people. There's been surveillance ongoing for months and months
and months. State and federal agencies have been training on
where to watch for the fly, how to trap it,
how to recognize it. They have been developing therapeutics. and
treatments and hope that once it was here they could
get on it right away but now it is called
Melithia across the border it's about a hundred miles southwest
of San Antonio And the battle is now not just
something that scientists are expecting to happen. It is here.
It's here. San Antone. Like, I could have screwworm at
any moment. You could. You probably do. I was wondering
about that itch. I got a screwworm. This is, uh,
yeah, this is bad. And, uh... Okay, we'll see. We'll
see what Brooke does. Nothing. I'm afraid you're right. The
whole thing's an op. Well, it is an op. It's
an op to collapse the herd even further. Yeah, well,
they don't want people eating meat. We had a couple
of clips. Then we played that clip where the guy
says we've got to poison the public with Alpha Gal
so people stop eating beef. Well, that's an old clip.
Save the planet. Yeah, that is an old clip of
that guy. I know it's an old clip, but that's...
What's new? Yeah. Yep. So. We're just going to continue
eating our Texas beef. Straight from the rancher. That's where
you want to get it. So I got a couple
of oddball clips today. Okay. I would like to get
some non-oddball clips. It turns out that the... Ukraine attacks
St. Petersburg as we played last Thursday, but they did
it again on Saturday, and everybody's making it sound like
this was the first attack, when it's obviously not, since
we report. or played clips from NTD last show. And
Russia has suffered what it's called an unprecedented attack on
the city of St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas. Ukraine
fired hundreds of drones at Russian targets early on Saturday,
and many of those drones targeted St. Petersburg itself, coinciding
with the... final day of a flagship economic forum being
held in the city. Moscow and Kiev have intensified drone
strikes on each other in recent months amid US-led diplomatic
efforts to end the war. But does this latest attack
risk escalating the conflict? Our correspondent in Kiev, Vitaly Shevchenko,
told me more. The Ukrainians are saying that they hit
a weapons storage facility, a navy base and an oil
depot outside St. Petersburg. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, called
the attack a just response to... Russia's aggression. The Russian
authorities say that this was an unprecedented strike. The governor
of Leningrad region said that hundreds of people were evacuated
from outside a military facility which caught fire. So a
pretty big incident in St. Petersburg. And were there any
deaths or any injuries? The local authorities are sort of
vague on that subject. They're talking of a number of
people injured. They say the damage to buildings in the
area is... insignificant but i've seen videos of smoke billowing
outside in biedersberg and there's one video of a man
who appears to be a local resident and he says
that weapon stores have caught fire and you can hear
a lot of explosions happening in the background Was there
any video with this report? Or did they just say
that there's smoke and weapons deposed? This is the BBC
World Service, so I didn't get to see any videos.
Oh, okay. I don't hear any nat pops. I don't
hear any explosions. The BBC World Service, they don't do
that. They should. If they want to stay relevant, they
need to do nat pops. Get on board, BBC. Well,
you know, they're still from the old shortwave days. and
they know if they did a nat pop it would
sound like interference on the wireless. This is the BBC
World Service. We have no nat pops. We have a...
from a guy on the street who said, "I heard
some explosions." That's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah. I'm
a shortwave listener. You can't find anything anymore. On shortwave?
It's pretty hard to come by. And, you know, it's
kind of pathetic compared to what it was when you
were a kid. Yeah. So let's go and play part
two of this. We had long waves. You had medium
wave, which is AM. They had long wave. And Longwave
was what... *Sigh* Was it, what was the thing in
Luxembourg? Radio Luxembourg. Yeah, a lot of these stations weren't
long, but it was always called shortwave. No, no, you
had... I mean, the receiver was called a shortwave receiver.
Yeah, but... Yeah, it had longwave. It had longwave. LW.
LW. Your band on there said LW. Yes, yes, that
was great. And you had a switch. Oh, now I'm
on long wave. Hey, and you know what you hear?
I'm ready, Alexander! Long way! Yeah, you would get a
lot of that wave sound. That's what we grew up
with, kids. That's what we grew up with. Next, I'll
do the modem sound of a dial-up. All right, here
we go. How did Ukraine manage to get their drones
so far into Russian territory again? Well, I've spoken to
the commander of one of the Ukrainian drone units involved
in the strike. And he basically told me that Russian
air defenses were useless. We take part in many operations
in the north region of Russia. And it's very interesting
that in these days... Keep those balls. Is there a
fear, Vitaly, that given the potential humiliation that Russia has
suffered, Thank you. accusing each other of carrying out all
sorts of atrocities and saying, well, look, we have to
respond. But my view is that this is basically political
rhetoric. And the truth is that all these attacks, they
would be hampered. happening anyway because for different reasons Ukraine
and Russia are still willing and able to fight foreign
You know... They went on forever, by the way. You
should thank me for stopping it there. Yes, in my
view, in my view. That's the point. That's why I
had to stop it. So this has resulted in a
powwow. The French, German and British leaders will meet their
Ukrainian counterpart in London on Sunday. French President Emmanuel Macron,
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
will discuss with Zelensky the way forwards at a time
when Russia... in a state of military, economic and strategic
failure, is persisting unsuccessfully with a deadly war, the Élysée
Palace said. On Friday, Macron welcomed the letter from Volodymyr
Zelensky to Vladimir Putin aimed at achieving peace. So he
sent a letter. sent a letter. A curse letter. Do
they really? Do they still send letters? Yeah, a turd.
But I mean, seriously, do they, like with a big
wax seal on it? I mean, do they really send
letters? Well, Trump keeps saying he's waiting for a letter.
From who? From the Iranians. Oh, yeah. I got a...
It's funny you bring that up. I've got... I got
to. A clip from Toosie, your guy, Toosie. Toosie? Remember
Toosie? Toosie? Toosie. T-O-U-S-I. The YouTuber guy. The Toosie guy
who... who we suspect might be a spook, but we're
not quite sure. Oh yeah, right. He does all the
Iranian news. And so he shows... All these videos, because,
you know, the Internet is back open. So IRGC decided,
okay, everybody's got Internet now. We'll turn it back on.
And there's tons of videos of protests, students protesting. interesting
to watch because what you don't see is There's almost
no headscarves. All the girls just got their hair flapping
in the wind or tied up in a bun. Persian
women, they actually are attractive. Very. Oh, sometimes they get
thick ankles. Well, you know, it's... I'm just saying. It's
the food. you That's only when we're auditioning Persian women,
okay? That's the context in which we say this as
producers. So he had a little report, which I figured
I'd share. Doing protests against the Islamic occupation is quite
dangerous, as you've also seen back in December and January.
Having said that... The regime is getting weaker every day
because thanks to President Trump and the US military because
the President Trump has not abandoned the mission as you've
seen over the last couple of months and few weeks
the US military continues their operation against the regime in
the Strait of Hormuz the blockade continues There have been
some clashes, but of course the blockade is doing its
job, draining the resources, draining the finances of the regime,
creating uncertainty and infighting inside the regime. And that's why
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are trying their best to
drag the Americans and everybody else and the Arabs into
an all-out war because it's in the interest of the
people. of the regime in Iran to have an all-out
war because at least it will create unity inside the
regime and they could just drag this along. But the
US decided not to take debate and continue to paralyze
the regime. And they don't know what to do right
now. If the US military had abandoned the mission, if
the US military and the US government had abandoned the
Iranian people, for example, obviously... The regime right now will
be strengthened massively. But right now, they can't. because the
US military is not stopping what they are doing and
President Trump is also not giving up. And he also,
he had many opportunities to sign a deal, give a
deal to the Islamic Republic and just get out of
it. He said, no, I'm not getting out of this.
And he's rejected every single deal sent from Tehran. Ah,
July 4th is just around the corner. You're going to
have to get it together. Premium was down 20 cents
here in Texas. I thought that was quite a drop,
actually. It should be down to nothing. Texas. This is
an oil producing state. Okay. Got it. You know, the
oil baron, he's reopening wells they previously capped. He says
there's so much demand right now. They have 1,500 wells
that they capped and they're opening them up again. He
says that right now... It used to cost, let me
see his number. It used to cost $28,000 a day
to operate a well. Now it's $38,000. He says, because
it's hard to get anybody. Let me get anybody. To
work. People to work. You can't get anybody to work?
They rift all these people. you know, reduction in force.
And now these people who were riffed, they're like, I
don't know, man, pay me some more. I'll come back.
That's how the oil business works. Well, that's the way
it should work. Yeah. You keep your employees or you
screw up with them and they're going to screw with
you. Come on. So then NPR had. I had this
woman on who wrote a book. Let's see. What's her
name? Yagane Torbati. She... who wrote the book Stolen Revolution.
And she kind of says the same thing, that things
are kind of groovy in Iran right now. I married
Louise Kelly. That country. I was just describing, it's Iran,
or at least Iran at the time of the 1979
revolution. The path from 1979 with the toppling of a
monarch through the decades of oppression and economic turmoil that
followed to this current moment is mapped out in the
book Stolen Revolution. trail and hope in modern Iran. Co-author
and journalist Yeganeh Torbati is here to talk to us
about it in this special episode of the podcast. We've
spent so much time here these last few months talking
about the current war in Iran. It felt worthwhile to
dig deep on Yeganeh's reporting on some of the forces
and people who brought Iran to this moment. Yeganeh Torbadi,
welcome. Thank you so much for having me. All right,
now listen to her report. You, in that same story,
though, write about a rock concert in Tehran that has
just sold out. Rock concert? Bruce Springsteen is playing Tehran?
Hipsters, young hipsters. Hipsters in Tehran who are still hanging
out at cafes and having fun. Hipsters, check the calendar.
Joy continues. Hope does continue even amidst a wider sense
of hopelessness. Life goes on, you know. I think even
in people in war zones, figure out ways to have
those moments of joy because you sort of have to,
to keep going. And I do think, you know, my
job as a book author and my job as a
newspaper reporter can sometimes be a little bit intention because
reviewing all this history, I sort of got a sense
of like, nothing is permanent. Like things change. and movements
can arise out of nowhere and people learn to kind
of deal with things and maybe come up with solutions
and they manage to find ways to keep contesting power
and to keep asserting themselves over time. And so, you
know, for a news story, you kind of have to
like have an angle and a conclusion, but it's just
not. snapshot in time and in a year or in
five years we may look back and you know see
all of this as a prelude to something or kind
of be able to identify the threads that then led
to something bigger and we sort of have to be
patient and also keep keep watching I think so the
hipsters are doing rock concerts in Tehran how much of
a war is this This woman, something's phony about her.
She does a laugh tell before she uses the word
book author. I'm a book. That's a fair point. Then
she uses a laugh tell in front of the word.
I should have written it down, but another key word.
Yeah, fair. Halfway through. Fair. That's fair. So I guess
she's a spook. This is a bullcrap book. There's no
rock concerts going on. I mean, maybe there are. Yeah,
I think the rock concerts. There might be, but I
don't think, I think this is going to be. It's
just not presented correctly. They're making it sound like, oh,
don't worry about it. That's how I took it. Don't
worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about
it, it's all good. So we are on the eve
of something pretty big. these big IPOs. the tech IPOs.
You mean after the crash on Friday? The AI crash
on Friday? Yeah. You think these IPOs are going to
come off? Yeah, I think they will. They got to
go. But here's the thing. Let me see if I
can find this. The thing that is rather concerning... Is
this. For the general public. If you think about your
average investor, a lot of them are passive investors. You
look at your 401k, your retirement accounts, you're probably plugged
into some sort of an index fund. So you don't
have to go and be a stock picker. You can
just sit back and collect money that's growing within these
major indexes. So the rules have changed a little bit.
for these listing places like the NASDAQ for the New
York Stock Exchange. Before, when these companies debuted, there was
a waiting period around three months before they were included
in these index funds. Now, as little as two weeks
later, these massive companies with unproven financial models can now
be added to the index. funds. And typically when you
see a company debut, the first day of trading is
very volatile. The first few weeks of trading are very
volatile because people are trying to price what the value
is of this particular company. So now that these companies
like your open AIs, your SpaceXs, that they can be
included. Your open AIs, your space. X's? Is there more
than one space X? Your space X's? This is bad
reporting. Particular company. I can give you some other examples
of why it's bad reporting when you're done. Okay. The
way she presents it is bullcrap. What do you mean?
It's not like, oh, now you can. Now the indexes
can pick them up after two weeks. They have to
pick them up after two weeks if they're in the
index. If it's allowed, this is a scam. We talked
about this on DH. Okay, good. What did you conclude?
To conclude this was another beautiful ploy. by Elon. To
change the moment where the index fund has to bring
this, you know, instead of letting the stock settle out,
you know, it comes out, goes up and down and
up and down. Who knows what it's going to do?
You don't know. You really don't know. Instead of waiting
for it to go through the normal process. and then
putting it in the index fund. And it's a big
part of the index fund, which means you've got to
bring a lot of, you've got to buy a bunch
of stock because the index funds have to own the
stock. So they have to buy a bunch of stock
instead of having to let it go through its rigmarole.
It artificially crops it up because it has to buy
it right away. a scam and it should be pointed
out as not a scam illegally it's just another elon
musk beautiful the guy's a genius well they're all gonna
get in i mean if they all have this level
all of them will have to be, will be, not
have to be, all of them will be pulled into
the index. They have to be. It's by the rules
of the fund. So, okay. So you're going to have
a bunch. In other words, this could be the beginning
of the end. This could bring down the whole thing.
You don't know. There's more and more crazy stuff going
on asking for a major correction. So there's something else
I learned. from a friend of mine who works at
an accounting company. Not the anonymous gay guy, but he'll
probably weigh in. He still listens. I know he does.
I always hope so. Oh, no, he texts me all
the time. No, he never texts me. Well, the anonymous
gay accountant, of course, texted me about testosterone. Hello, I
mean. He was the first one to text me. What
did he say? It's great, and you got to get
on these peptides. I'm ripped. That's what he said. Peptide.
I'm ripped. You should have put him. I'll bet he
is. Of course he is. My son found one. The
Wolverine. Everyone's talking about the Wolverine package, baby. Is that
the one that brings your muscles up and they can
get as big as pot? You can turn into literally
a monster by working out once a month. Yes, it's
the Wolverine. It's like two peptides. And please don't email
me. I have everything I need to know. And you
know what I'm going to do? Absolutely nothing. I would
avoid it like the plague. I got some feedback from
a PhD as well. Anyway. So a lot of these,
what they call the hyperscalers. which includes Google. They have
switched from stock options to RSI. use. Are you familiar
with this? It's like revenue service units. No, I'm not
familiar with them. So as an accounting thing, they switched
everybody to RSUs. So it's all about accounting. Yeah, everything's
about accounting. Every single time an RSU employee cashes out.
The company has to sell stock to cover it, which
pushes the stock price down. So then, of course, they
have to do stock buybacks to keep the price up.
It's like a treadmill. And Google is raising $80 billion.
For their AI. Well. If you look at the... In
fact, Reuters wrote about it. 40 million of that is
going towards compensation of employees who are cashing in their
RSUs. 40 billion of it. So. The theory is... that
these big tech companies so I mean, they so need
AI to succeed. because their wealth at this point is
really on paper. They got to spend all this CapEx
on AI. And these employees, you know, they they cash
out, boom, legally. Every time an RSU employee cashes out,
they have to withhold 22% upfront. That's a lot of
money. So there's something going on that is not well
in Silicon Valley with Google of all companies. They were
printing money. And somehow now this whole AI thing has.
is screwing everybody's numbers up. So yeah, you better believe
it has to be successful. A note from a dude
named Ben who works at Microsoft. We've been told to
use AI for everything that has resulted in a lot
of token maxing. This is the big term in Silicon
Valley. Token maxing, here's your tokens, you gotta use them
all. I work in C++ and I've had to review
code that was complete slop. Amongst my co-workers, we keep
talking about how much this is actually costing us, and
no one knows. We're told, hey, now is the golden
age, so use as much as you can before it
ends. I think everyone knows there's going to be a
limit on it eventually. but we don't know how much.
The other thing to note is that AI use is
just tracked and factored into promotions and bonuses. This is
what leads to token maxing. So you have to show
that you're really productive by using a lot of tokens.
um this is crazy that's a good one um I
don't think AI coding is going anywhere. The models have
gotten a lot better. However, it can be really frustrating
to work with them. Sometimes they can implement features really
well. It's fantastic. It's like a slot machine. Yes, is
what I've noticed too. I hope they get better, but
I hope they get better for things I really need
to understand. For now, I'm writing all my code myself.
So now enter the big problem that we've been talking
about, which is the data center to the desktop. And
CNBC had, what's this guy's name? Patel, of course, Indian
dude. He is the... President of Cisco. Cisco and of
course Cisco wants to sell routers and and switches and
stuff for traffic So the guys were kind of full
of crap, but what he's saying here. I think is
very relevant. Hey, just imagine that Employees in the company
use about $200 worth of tokens every week. 50 weeks
a year, that's 10,000 bucks. um in tokens uh you
have 40 000 employees that's 400 million dollars you have
90 000 employees that's 900 million dollars that wasn't really
starting price can you say that again slowly 200 dollars
per week okay that doesn't seem like it doesn't seem
like it's crazy right trying to think of my my
open claw bell you probably use more than that deidre
you'd be a very expensive i guess it gets shut
off and i'm like i gotta re-up it okay so
200 a week and then you multiply that at how
many 50 weeks yeah let's say you take two weeks
off right a year you maybe take four weeks it's
48 weeks roughly it's 10 000 bucks a year and
right per employee per employee and so that we have
90 000 employees so now we have the problem for
these ai frontier model companies like open ai anthropic and
to a degree uh spacex ai element op model routing
what about model routing i feel like this week everyone's
talking about that and it makes a lot of sense
like you can just see the numbers it costs you
25 for an output on cloud opus under a dollar
for the same output on DeepSeq. Are you guys utilizing
that? Absolutely. We actually have three models ourselves. We have
a deep network model. We have a foundation security model
that we've open sourced. And we've got a time series
model. We just also got another model for observability. And
we demoed that on stage that, you know, if it
takes 12 cents for token costs that you would have
for a certain task, you could take out 95% of
the costs if you actually go with the local model.
Local? That's a small model. But what you have to
do is you have to have an intelligent routing layer
that says for these prompts and these tasks, I'm going
to go over here. And for these other tasks, I'm
probably going to be able to go to something cheaper.
So I'll get back to that in one second, only
two more clips, because this term. came up. Two weeks
ago, I'd never heard it before, and it's back, Jevons...
paradox. What does that mean for premium price AI? I
mean, there's always going to be a place for them,
right? But is it going to be growing as quickly
as we've seen over the last few years? I think
there's Jevons paradox that's going to be like constantly on
supercharge right now. The lower the price goes, like the
biggest risk we have as an industry. is if this
gets too expensive where the cost of tokens is disproportionately
higher than the value it generates, then people pull back.
So actually, the cost per token going down is better
for the model providers because when the cost goes down,
people use it more, but your value is actually commensurate
to what you're paying per token. Let me push back
on that. point. We actually don't know if the value
is commensurate. And that's what... No, I'm saying it's not
right now. Right. Yeah. So if it's not, and if
the price goes down, that's actually better because then people
actually use it more. Is that a problem though? I
mean, do you think that that will hit demand? Some
of these questions over return on investment and value. I
mean, Scott was just here basically... saying that if you
don't get enough value from our product, we're going to
pay $10 million for your usage. It feels like everyone
is scrambling to show that they're providing value, but this
is a question too that is not new. That hit
the AI trade, the public AI trade before. It's kind
of been off to the races recently, but there's some
of that skepticism creeping back in. I think there's a...
is this, this is one of those bull crap, Silicon
Valley things. We've seen this come and go a hundred
times. Jevons paradox, which, and this, I don't know if
you remember it two weeks ago or something like that.
Someone said, Oh, it's Jevons paradox. So this is, and
that was on the all in pod. So this is
a, a bull crap term they're using in Silicon Valley.
Jevons Paradox is an economic principle discovered by British economist
William Stanley Jevons in, wait for it, 1865. Can you
just see some VC coming up with this? Oh, absolutely.
Well, you know, according to Jevons Paradox, it states that...
technological improvements that increase the efficiency of resource use. can
paradoxically lead to an increase in the total consumption of
that resource rather than the expected decrease. The paradox occurs
because the efficiency improvements make a resource cheaper to use.
The cost savings often lead to increased demand that more
than offsets the efficiency gains. For example, Where's the paradox?
Well, I'm waiting for it. More fuel-efficient cars might lead
to more driving, or energy-efficient appliances might encourage people to
use them more frequently. This is Silicon Valley speak. for.
We're screwed. The model doesn't work. Jevons paradox, man. Don't
worry. When Jevons kicks in, it's all going to be
great. I can just feel it. It's one of those
things. Can't you see John Doerr running around? This got
me to just change this little present. presentation here. change
the tip of the day. To what? You'll hear it
when you get to the tip of the day. It'll
be at the end of the show. People have to
listen. But this will be very relevant to what you're
saying. Oh, good. And then the final clip, this is
truly what I think is already happening and where all
this is heading and why your 401k will suffer. or
when these IPOs and these companies get added to the
index. Companies are eventually, and this is what you were
talking about earlier on desk side computing, is that right?
He says companies are eventually going to shift to running
local models. Prices are getting too high for Fortune 500
companies to swallow. We are already starting to see the
leaders shift to this idea. It makes a lot of
sense, doesn't it? Explain, though. Break this down for me.
Okay. I have agents. I want to use these agents.
I'm going to actually have a Mac Mini right next
to me. That's my desk-side computer. My laptop computer is
where I'm working. My desk-side computer is where the Mac
Mini is where my agents are working. That means I
now am doing a lot of processing locally i might
have models that actually sit on that mac mini that
that agent is using because they're getting smaller and smaller
smaller and smaller so my if i can get a
substantial percentage of the workload on those Boy, that's a
great thing. What that does, though, is it's going to
require a lot more network bandwidth. because those agents are
going to generate, you know... Listen to this bull crap.
Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah, a lot more bandwidth
because the agent's going to want to talk to the
traffic. Use our routers. That'll have to go back and
forth between the data center. Oh, back and forth between
the data center. Oh, no. These agents aren't just talking
amongst themselves. They're going to talk amongst themselves. on the
Mac Mini, but they'll also talk to someone in the
cloud. Oh, you need two gigabits now. And so I
think you're going to have a, at this point, an
agent workflow is a routing challenge. It is a trust
decision and it's a telemetry event. Telemetry event? And the
telemetry event being I need to make sure that I'm
showing the traceability of where that agent is going, what
it's doing. All those things together make this a coordination
of intelligence. It's not just a... It's not just that
you're going to have one large model and one large
data center and it's going to answer all your questions.
So here we go, John. We're pitching now. So taking
in mind what you all know, course, Jevons Paradox. When
we have these telemetry events, we're going to be rich.
Just watch. It's going to be great. Invest now. Here's
my PowerPoint. Well, can you determine the telemetry threshold? For
the ROI. Yes, I can do that with the locally
managed network operating protocol. call with the advanced network analysis
language. Ah, my new set. I heard you could do
that. My favorite. My favorite. My favorite one, advanced network
analysis language. Now, there is good news. There's good news
because finally we have something that AI is useful for.
I fully support this. I think it's great. Call Dana
Brunetti because we're going to kill Hollywood once and for
all. It's interesting that this is a YouTuber that is
making the leap because you were pretty early investing in
the creator space with full screen. What did you learn
out of that and did you think? that in the
year 2026, we would see this run of digital native
filmmaking talent making the leap not just to getting Hollywood-style
movies made, but getting big audiences. You know, Obsession just
opened big and keeps growing, and now we've got this
other... YouTube first movie that is going to be big.
It's called Back Room. Have you heard of these movies?
Well, the only one I've heard of is the one
that's actually playing in a theater. Yes, that's Back Rooms.
At the Tribeca Film Festival. I think it's Back Rooms
is the one that's playing. No, no, it's something violets.
I'll get the title. There's a couple of them. Absolutely.
The only one playing in the theaters is the Vilas
film. Let's listen to this. This is... Who is this
guy? I'll figure it out in a minute. He believed
that. You did? Yes. You know, we have been huge
believers in the creator economy and going back. I think
we invested in full screen 14 years ago. Look, it's
also, to be fair, it's no accident, we are the
only media company based in Silicon Beach. Our offices are
in Playa Vista. We are off the streets. Where is
Silicon Beach? Down south is Calabasas or someplace down in
Southern California. Calabasas? Yeah, it's bull crap. This is great.
YouTube is right over there. I'm in Silicon Hills. Facebook
is right over there. You know, as a company, I'm
deeply interested in technology. blah blah blah blah what's happened
is the movie's dreams of violence dreams and it's from
an iranian filmmaker and it's about iran riots or killings
or something like that and it was very controversial it's
the first one accepted into film festival and there's a
bunch of news stories on all the networks about it
Well, now Hollywood is just like Silicon Valley, except instead
of the... What is it, the Jervin? I forgot the
name already. The Jarvan Principle. What was that guy's name?
The Jarbo Principle. The Jambo Principle. Jambo. There you go.
Poor Jambo guy. Jambo Principle. Our poor Jambo guy. Now
it's, yeah, man, we want YouTubers. Get us YouTubers. We
need more YouTubers. You can't just live on sequels. You
can't just live on existing IP. It's a terrible thing
to do to the audience. I hope that there is
a lesson to those big studios in both Obsession and
Backrooms. they should be taking risks like that. You know,
and if you go back to the big franchises, which
they are making infinite sequels of. are generally 15 to
30, 40 years old at this point. Half the audience
wasn't born when they started. What do you think the
model is going to be? Do you think that it's
possible that... these YouTube first movies that they could reinvigorate.
People going to theaters to see it? Like vinyl, you
know? Like everyone's all, oh, vinyl, vinyl. Oh, no, you
got to see this thing in the theater. You think
that's possible? Could they do that? possible, but not for
a while. Well, there's a couple of these movies happening.
I mean, surely we can't just have people putting them
out on YouTube and not making YouTube pennies. That's not
going to last. Well, the movie Dreams of Violets, they
had protests out in front and everyone's moaning about it.
Really? Yeah, because, oh, it's going to ruin Hollywood and
we're all going to die. Brunetti should be all over
this. No, Brunetti probably is all over it. I haven't
talked to him about it. But I'm sure he's all,
he's not all over. He should be producing this stuff.
He should be producing. He should be a, hey, kid.
Hey kid, I'm gonna make you famous. You want to
get rich? You want to leave your wife rich? Yeah,
stick with me. I'm Dana Brunetti, babe. I'm Dana Brunetti.
You want to get a job? You want to be
a star? You want to be a star? A star?
Yeah, I'm Dana Brunetti. That's not at all how he
sounds, by the way. What? That's not how he sounds.
No. Yeah, he sounds just like that. That's not at
all how Brunetti sounds. Yeah, he talks like this. And
he doesn't look at all like he sounds either. You
know, he looks like this. He looks like a frat
boy with a beard. He's got a big cigar, usually
smoking it. Yeah. Hey, kid. Hey, kid. So I have
an AI story that needs to be. All right. Played.
Okay. This is a, this is a, an ode to
Linda Lou Patkin. Oh, all right. Linda. It's about AI
job searches. And what a little tidbit here is quite
interesting. Stanford just released the biggest study ever done on
AI hiring tools. And it's uncovering this massive web that's
answering the question all of us are asking. Why does
my resume keep getting rejected for jobs that I am
completely qualified for? And I'm going to be honest, this
study has changed the way I think about every application
I've ever sent. 90% of companies are using AI to
screen applicants before a human ever sees them. And the
interesting thing is that most of these companies are using
the same few vendors to do that work. Meaning it's
the exact same tool, just used in different companies. And
it's probably everywhere that you have been applying. Here's how
it actually works. You apply to a job. And then
the company sends your resume to a third-party AI tool.
And that AI platform gives you a score. And then
it sends that score back to the employer. But that
score doesn't disappear or get regenerated with every application you
send. sometimes it holds onto that score for 330 days.
So when you apply to another company that uses that
same platform, you're not getting a fresh start. You're just
getting that same score again. And the research is real.
They tracked over 4 million applications across 156 employers. And
when they found that the people who had applied to
multiple companies who were using the same AI tool to
screen, the rejection rate was a little too high to
be coincidental. So they're calling it systemic rejection. The study
is called Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring, if you want to
check it out. But just know that if you've been
sending applications out and hearing nothing back, it's probably not
your resume. And this is just another reminder that we're
not living in some glitch. It's effectively one score for
330 days. every company that you're applying to. And this
is why laws like the ones Colorado is passing right
now are going to be imperative to the future of
job applications and hiring. I'm going to continue to report
on this, so follow, like, comment if you want to
know more about the systems that are actively working against
you in your job search. And feel free to share
this with anyone else who's being actively gaslit by AI
on a daily basis. That's Image Makers Inc. with a
K. Now, I would say a couple. First of all,
I did not edit that. I'm better than that. This
is typical high-tech. Uh... way of saving money. Instead of
having, you know, you get an application in and you
scan it for some score and you send the score
back to the first company. Another thing comes in from
the same person from a different company. Why bother scanning
it? Same score. You already have the guy's score. Just
send the same score on, so that's what they're doing.
This is classic. Why burn tokens on it? No, they're
not going to do that. Yeah, why burn tokens when
you can just, hey, he's in the database, send out
that same score. Yeah, it's good to go. It's a
completely different resume, but so what? Keep him there for
a year. It's good. That's a year, and by the
way, I doubt it. I'm sure this... permanent it's like
a credit score yes you're done you're toast you're not
ever gonna work again I gotta do these two peptide
emails since we made such a big deal about it
and we had so many lovely people writing in. About
what? Peptides. Oh, peptides. Peptides, yes. About 95% were telling
me it's great. It's phenomenal. I inject myself twice a
week. I'm on the Wolverine. This is the best thing
ever. It's fixed my back. I don't doubt it at
all. Yeah, I'm sure it helps a lot of people.
Yeah, but there's two emails I wanted to highlight. one
from our senior medical student he's written in before. He's
in Australia. He says, basically, you buy this stuff online,
but these peptides can be between 50% to 300% purity
of the stated dose. This makes no difference for the
fancy water peptides that people get a placebo from injecting
them. I'm sure there's a lot of that going on.
But for harmful drugs like this new R-E-T-A, as everyone
calls it, RETA, this can kill people. I've seen otherwise
healthy young patients coming in with symptoms of pancreatitis, of
unknown cause. Hey, Slim. Until you ask about the peptide
use. I had a young lady taking four times the
recommended dose of... Retrotrudide daily. This is the stuff we
talked about. This is not even mentioning the fact that
her vials could have been 200% purity, so it could
have been 8 times the dose. Based on talking to
patients, I would say around 10-20% of young Australians, 14-30,
are taking peptides with up to half considering it. This
is a lot. Yeah. I think this is a bigger
thing than we suspect. Yes. Fact is, most of these
peptides are, I know people who get their peptides from
their hair person. Just saying. Fact is, most of these
peptides are showing promise in studies on rats and muscle
cells in petri dishes. With minimal human safety trials other
than Reddit and TikTok forums, these companies can get away
with making millions selling these as it's not illegal here
in Australia to sell research-for-research purposes only peptides with no
recourse. Um... Here's a, some people take. uh msh to
be more tan and it works well for this but
when you stimulate the melanokites on your skin you stimulate
the moles that are normally hanging out there Most people
have moles that could turn into melanoma. Okay, so there's
all kinds of horrible things that can happen. And then
we have... Um... Boots on the ground from Patrick. Before
you're done with that letter, I should mention I sent
that letter to JC. Yes, that very one. I'm sorry?
The one from Australia? Yeah. Yeah, okay. And he says
he thinks it's wrong. Wrong. What he says about the...
A melanoma generator because it turns out that it might
actually be just the opposite. Might be. It might be.
Sure. Might be just the opposite. It might be. And
he cited some rationale that it would, anyway, he says
it's dubious. The argument. Okay. It might be. I don't
know. It might be. We don't know. And the fact
is, the thing that bothers me about all this, of
course, is people that are all, you know, concerned about
eating whole foods and being careful about what they eat
and ingest. We'll just take these things out. from a
drug dealer. It's just... Crazy. So now we have Patrick,
who is pursuing his doctorate in chemistry, right up your
alley. He was listening to Thursday's show. He said, I
heard you were interested in peptides. Well, since I'm pursuing
this, I thought I could weigh in and tell you
what I know. From a scientific perspective, the discovery and
creation of peptides of GLP-1 drugs is interesting and they
have gotten pretty good from what they began as. When
it comes to peptides as a drug, the hardest part
is making sure they are not digested in the body.
For the large majority, you cannot just eat peptides because
your body will digest them like any protein you would
get and from eating food and not enter the bloodstream.
This is why they are injected into the bloodstream, and
even then your body will break them down, although at
a much slower rate. When it comes to peptides, which
many people are using to biohack, yeah, that's it, outside
of GLP-1s, most of them come from Chinese companies, which
have little to no studies, especially not in human trials.
The rationale of using them to improve... bodily function mainly
comes from computational modeling, like climate change. The biggest issue
for these is the actual production of the peptides themselves.
That kind of goes along with what our previous boots
on the ground said. Companies utilize E. coli to produce
the peptide. What? Whoa. Whoa. process known as recombinant protein
expression. I do this on a regular basis in the
lab and it's actually a very efficient way of producing
peptides and proteins. Insulin is produced using this method. The
biggest issue with using this to create drugs for human
use is the contamination of polysaccharides, sugar, which can create
severe allergic reactions if injected. into the bloodstream. Pharmaceutical companies
are great at removing this and have testing to ensure
that batches are not contaminated. The equipment used is very
expensive and I would bet that the Chinese companies that
are producing peptides are not doing this. Yeah, best price.
I have friends that have had adverse reaction to these
peptides and gotten sick from them. This is the biggest
issue I see with peptides outside of the general ignorance
on how they will interact with the body as the
biochemical pathways within the body are very complex and small
changes can create big effects. So, yeah, I mean, biohacking
is what people are doing. And you don't need to
email me and tell me these guys are. full of
crap and I don't know what I'm talking about because
guess what I don't but no we don't we we're
we're rank amateurs when it comes all we're doing is
presenting what we know yeah but what we're told what
our producers tell us yeah what our producers tell us
yeah what do people yeah and we're going to continue
to do that for a while yes Because, I mean...
It's a big deal. This is going on. Yeah, so
when people get all bent out of shape that now
Eli Lilly is taking what they've basically been getting for
50 bucks from their hairdresser, they're now, you know, now
they have to pay a thousand bucks a month. They're
all bent out of shape, blah, blah, blah. Production matters.
Quality matters. Except when it comes to vaccines where there's
no liability issues. Well, no, please. Well, since you inject
this, can't they just call it a vaccine? And how
would the pill, how would this pill work better than
injecting it, mainlining that crap, baby? Come on, mainline it
right into me. Actually, it doesn't make sense what the
chemist said. It doesn't make sense about the pill. Because
they're just getting, you know, digested like any other protein.
I mean, I'm, here's what I'm worried about. You get
this stuff, particularly if it gets approved by the FDA.
And before you know it, you're voting Democrat. I'm telling
you, you got to be careful about these things. I
think you might be on to something. You got to
be careful with these things. But yes, the Wolverine combo
is what everyone seems to like a lot. If you're
working out a lot and you get ripped. Crazy ripped.
Ripped. Yeah. I'm not a exerciser. I'm a walker. So
I'm not going to get ripped anytime soon. I'm a
podcaster. I got no time to exercise. Podcasters shouldn't be
ripped. There's nothing sick about a ripped podcaster. Well, tell
that to Joe Rogan. Yeah, but Rogan was always, yeah,
but Rogan's also a UFC fighter. And by the way,
which brings me to the... I finally got one more.
It took forever to get a Sharpton clip. Oh, a
Sharpton clip? Where he screws up. Of why they're having
these fights on the White House lawn, the UFO and
all, whatever they call it. The UFO. Excellent! Yeah! Finally,
a new Sharpton jingle to use. Very good. Very good.
I'm very happy. Thank you. Thank you. Excellent job. Excellent
job. Very happy with that. Oh, man. Ebola update. Wait.
I need to do my Ebola jingle. I need to.
I need to. Oops. Ebola. Yes, here we go. Ebola,
Ebola, it has been with us two times in our
lives. you I was the third It's time to speak
about Ebola. Security has been stepped up at Ebola treatment
centers in eastern Congo with extra UN peacekeepers and local
police deployed. Medical staff have faced growing hostility with reports
of attacks on facilities. Richard Kogoy reports. against health workers
in a region where distrust and misinformation about Ebola remain
widespread. Security has been reinforced in Rwampara and Mugumbwalo in
Ituri province after incidents targeting treatment centers and medical staff.
Troops will also guard smaller clinics receiving patients and supervise
imperial teams. Alongside the security push, the government and aid...
partners are running outreach campaigns to counter false information and
build public trust in communities where cultural beliefs have shaped
views on illness and death. The WHO says nearly 500
cases are confirmed, including 82 deaths in the outbreak across
Central Africa. I have a follow-on clip from CBS regarding
a little mystery. misunderstanding. After this outrage in Kenya in
which two people were killed protesting a Trump administration plan
to set up an Ebola facility only for Americans at
a military airbase, Secretary of State Marco Rubio now says
that there has been a misunderstanding. And that's about whether
Americans would only be observed. for symptoms if they've been
potentially exposed in the region or if positive whether they
would be quarantined and then treated for the longer term
we're not actually actually in kenya to set up treatment
for americans i think the one that's been very controversial
is a misunderstanding there is a facility that the kenyans
are allowing us to open if there are any americans
that are Yes. What? No! about 125 miles north of
Nairobi. This was before a Kenya High Court judge blocked
the facility, at least temporarily, but also after that judge
blocked the facility. After those protests broke out on June
1st, Kenya's Prime Minister, William Ruto, said that it was
a would be good for the country's own Ebola preparedness
and said that the U.S. and Kenya have had a
friendship for the past 30 to 40 years. But many
Kenyans feel that this is the Trump administration outsourcing American
health risks to their own home country. And a high-level
medical contact of mine in Nairobi told me that the
expectation is that this U.S. facility will go ahead regardless
of what any high court says. I mean, don't you
think it's time for a repeat of the Ebola flight
coming in and everyone's all... Got their hazmat suits on.
The dude hops out like... I got Ebola. Hello, hello,
hello. and takes off. Yeah. Bye-bye. We didn't play this
clip the other day, but it's relevant, I guess, now.
Two research scientists have been arrested and charged with smuggling
mpox into the United States. Vincent Munster and Claude Quay
work at the National Institutes of Health Biosafety Lab in
Montana. According to prosecutors, the pair traveled back to the
U.S. from the Republic of Congo, where there was an
outbreak of mpox. When they went through customs, CBP officers
questioned them about a large plastic case they had. They
allegedly lied to the officers about what was inside. After
investigating and testing... The FBI found vials of deactivated mpox
virus, chickenpox virus, and human DNA. The men face up
to five years in prison. You know, the scandal isn't
so much. that they did this. Five years? Can you
imagine Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak show up at
the airport? What you got there? Nothing. Well, let's take
a look. Oh, you got like mpocs. You got human
DNA. We would be locked. This would be, we would
be locked away forever. But, oh, they're NIH. Oh, that's
okay. One of them's a Dutch guy. I find this
scandalous. Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe five years. Who
knows? I mean, okay, it's... inactive or deactivated whatever she
said that's what they said yes exactly Like, no, I
don't like this. Lock those guys up. Can't be doing
that. Okay, let's see. Oh, this was kind of funny.
This is about our prop... favorite prop bet We have
two. Koushi being one. Federal investigators are examining the prediction
market trades of former New York Republican Congressman George Santos.
NPR's Bobby Allen reports it's the latest case raising questions
about insider trading on the betting sites. Four months after
George Santos had a seven-year wire fraud prison sentence commuted
by President Trump, he took to social media. I'm going
to be there for the State of the Union in
the gallery, guys. Just chill, trolls. Chill, trolls. What he
didn't say publicly is that he was betting tens of
thousands of dollars on the prediction market site Kaoshi that
he would not attend. Before it was revealed he did
not go, he cashed out. That's according to three sources
with direct knowledge of Santos' trades. The Justice Department and
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are investigating. When reached by
NPR, Santos said the investigations were news to him. He
said, I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no, when
asked if he has an account on Kaoshi. Oh man,
how low IQ are you if you do that? Well,
this is, I can make money quick. Was it illegal?
Well, isn't it insider trading by definition? It's not the
SEC. There's no SEC involved in this. Not yet. And
with insider training, you're the guy people are betting on.
Well, he bet on himself. You don't think the basketball
guys do this constantly. Yeah. Oh, I sprained my ankle.
I can't play. Right. They get in trouble for it.
Do they? But from the league. Yeah, true. Oh, Wall
Street Journal. Trump urges Pulte to Fire Intel employees. Here
we go. Here's the, here's the, you're right. Here we
go. The bull in the China shop, the chainsaw weed
whacker. Yeah. Oh, this is going to be so much
fun. It's going to be great. It'll be good for
the show. It should be. Yeah. You're going to find
all kinds of stuff. I'm sorry. I was going to
say the World Cup, we got a clip on Iran.
They gave them visas. I have a bunch of, I
have a couple of screwy clips here. Um... Did you?
I'm going to ask you. This could be an Ask
Adam. Mm-hmm. What is the gayest city in the United
States? the gayest city in the United States. It's gay
pride month. I got a gay pride clip. Well, I
mean, instinctively, you want to say... San Francisco, but somehow
I don't think it's the gayest. I don't think there
is one. I think New York would be it, personally.
Or Atlanta. Atlanta's very gay. Which clip is it? Which
clip? This is the mayor, Mayor Bowser, the mayor of
Washington, D.C. Oh. She claims that Washington, D.C., the capital
of the United States of America, will play the clip.
one year's In the future of 51st. The same bull
deserves to be We're celebrating Pride Month in the... gayest
sin Well, let's be fair. We do have some a-gays.
uh in dc you know so you bring in a
besant there's going to be a whole bunch of other
people who follow around I can see. Do you think
Besant will be out there at Pride? With his chaps.
With his chaps. No. He did not do a good
job, man, the other day. Let me see, where is
it? He was being grilled. Let me see. Here we
go. You think with all the experience. experience he's had.
It's no good. He'd be better. Oh, he's no good.
Listen to this. Why are you allowing President Trump and
his family to have complete immunity from being audited? Again,
since you're a lawyer, you will understand that the US
Treasury and the IRS are represented by the justice. Department
and the acting Attorney General. Yes, but I just mentioned
a Supreme Court case that doesn't bar you from testifying.
It's pretty clear to me, though, however, that you're not
interested in answering questions. You're interested in arguing. Let me
ask you this question. If President Biden amended a prior
tax return and claimed that... He was owed $1 billion.
Do you think that that would be audited or should
it be audited? I'm not going to. the talk about
any, any, the... Because you're not really here to answer
questions. I don't understand why you wouldn't audit that, and
I don't understand why you wouldn't do the same for
President Trump. So the ruling by the Justice Department, excuse
me. Do you have specific knowledge of an audit of
President Trump? Excuse me. It's my time. You're not here
to ask me questions. I'm here to ask you questions.
And hopefully you're here to try to answer some of
them. Oh, man. It got even worse. Where he's like
he's he's he literally clutches well he didn't he was
if he had pearls he'd be clutching him Like, this
is an outrage! Can't Rubio take him aside? Rubio's the
guy that's good at this. Yeah, and Rubio is good
at this, but Besson has to answer, and he's just
no good at it. I don't know. I don't. understand
me He just, he chokes, choke, choke. He listens to
this. I'm curious to know who counts as Trump's family
for the purposes of this immunity. Is it his children,
his in-laws, his grandchildren, his second or third cousin, his
great-great-grandchildren? Do you know the answer to that question, Mr.
Secretary? Again, I imagine you have the Justice Department phone
number. I would suggest you call them. I'm not the
one that runs the Department of the Treasury or that
oversees what is happening with this immunity that has been
granted. I'm not the one either. We follow the instructions
of our lawyers. We obey the law, Representative. I hope
that you're proud of your performance today, Mr. Secretary, because
I think it's pretty safe to say that this is
probably the most corrupt Treasury Department in our nation's history.
I am going to have to take exception with that.
I'm going to have to take exception with that. I'm
going to write a stern letter to the Times. And
I'm going to write an op-ed about you. You will
be in deep, deep kimchi later. I'm going to have
to take exception with that. While you dance around questions
to protect Trump, Americans are suffering in Trump's fire. I
know what's going on with him. You know what it
is? Low T. That's what's happening here. Maybe peptides are
needed. Anything. Anything. Oh my goodness. I'm a Besant fan.
But this is bad. It's just bad. No good. I
hope you get some good social media clips out of
this. Yeah, very lame. Extremely lame. And he's got that
nervous... sound to his voice is no good hey i
want to play this clip i've been holding it but
i just want to play this because i just think
this is a technology that needs to be discussed more
okay the x59 i don't know if you've seen pictures
of this thing this is a new jet no i
haven't i'll have to look It's a jet that can
go... Mach 1 point something. It goes past the speed
of sound with no sonic boom. How does it even
work? Well, that's what I like to know. But if
you look at the design of the thing, it's loopy
looking. Oh, it looks like a Concorde. Except with the
lore, it's just cool. It's cool looking, let's put it
that way. But at the same time, it doesn't, I
guess, stir up enough. I don't know. I have no
idea. The explanation is not in this report or anyplace
else. NASA's X-59 research aircraft is designed to fly at
supersonic speeds without... producing a loud sonic boom. This month,
the X-59 will fly supersonic in test flights at around
43,000 feet in altitude. That will be followed by a
mission conditions. That's a flight at Mach 1.4 speed and
an altitude of roughly 55,000 feet. NASA's goals here... are
to have the aircraft fly over U.S. communities to gather
data from the public about its quiet supersonic operation. All
right, I have to ask the book of knowledge. Why
does the X-59 aircraft not produce a sonic boom? I
mean, we can sit here and we can just be
yapping at each other, but let's ask the book of
knowledge who knows. all things in the universe. And so
here we go. According to the book of knowledge, the
X-59 reduces sonic booms by shaping acoustic pressure waves, preventing
shock waves from merging into a single boom and creating
instead a gentle sonic thump. Its 38-foot extended nose carefully
shaped fuselage and top mounted engine use the aircraft body
as a shield to direct and dissipate shock waves. DOS
It is being written. A son- okay, well that's- A
sonic thump. That's right, a sonic thump. Now that means
I would love to have them fly this thing over
the Bay Area, let us know. Yeah. And I want
to see so we can hear the sonic thump. Because
when I was a kid, when I was a kid
living in Centerville. There used to be, this was pre,
at some point or other, you'd hear sonic booms because
there was no big deal. It's like, yeah, so what?
And, you know, this. finally put some laws against it
after the I guess it broke a few windows here
and there around the country but It would be a
loud, I know exactly what a sonic boom sounds like
because I was, well, kind of, I can remember that.
It rattles the windows. It's a loud boom. It's BOOM!
Yeah. And it's like... Like, okay, well, that was a
jet. So I want to hear the sonic thump. Now,
here's the thing. I have been in the Concord twice,
which does create... booms yeah that's why i wasn't allowed
to fly over much of the country inside the aircraft
nothing What would there be? I'm just, well, you'd think
that if it was boom outside, you'd hear it on
the inside. But you don't hear it. It's a big
letdown. It's like a good bass note, you know, you
can't really hear it near the speakers. Yeah, but these
things are loud! But I'm in the plane. I mean,
I'm in the plane. I thought I would hear it.
I remember the pilot. I was in a plane that
got hit by lightning, you could hear that. Well, ladies
and gentlemen, welcome aboard British Airways Concorde. We'll be doing
Mach 2. Unfortunately, there will be no spectacular booms. This
is a very comfortable travel. Enjoy yourself. However, the plane
will elongate by 11... Cheers and flights. Enjoy. That thing
would get longer. while it was flying. Yeah, the SR-71
used to, uh... change its size and shape during high-speed
flight, which is why it leaked gas. Jet fuel leaked
all over the... runway because the thing only sealed up
at speed. So Logan 5 says, no, Adam. This is
a troll. You fly faster than the sonic wave that
the plane creates. Oh, that makes sense. Ah, that does
make sense. Yes, it does. You know what else makes
sense? The fact that I want to thank you for
your courage and say in the morning to you, the
man who put the sea in the chainsaw weed whacker,
say hello to my friend on the other end, everybody,
Mr. John C. Good morning, here's the Slam, Crady Marsh,
this is your host, the World Elite Ground Feeder, and
here's to the world of the Dames and Knights out
there. It is good to have the Noisemaker! - Come
on! Noiseback. I've been missing that for months. So nice.
Very nice. 1658. Listening live at the peak trollage here
at the No Agenda Show at No Agenda. noagendastream.com that
means a lot of people are listening Thank you. The
legacy apps will take 15, 30 minutes, sometimes an hour.
So it can be even worse. But with the Podping
technology, oh no. No, no, no. Pod ping technology. You'll
get immediate notification within 90 seconds, immediate. And, of course,
you can't stream anything live in these legacy apps. You
need a modern podcast app for that. So when we
go live, the bat signal fires. You see the notification.
You tap it. You're listening live. You can never forget
us. We're always here for you. This podcast, soon to
celebrate its 19th anniversary in October. Is it October 8th?
Somehow I have the feeling it's October 8th. 26th. 26th,
at the end of October. Our 19th year. Now we
should make it an even 20 and quit. What do
you say? *laughs* Well, you're going to get all the
lady folk upset. Don't say these things. But, I mean,
why don't we go out on top? I think we
should just go until we drop on the show. That's
what I'm saying. I don't mean to. *Screams* I don't...
All right. I want to go out on top, Ben.
You know, like... I want people to go. In the
saddle? Yeah. Instead of people going, oh, well, they died.
I'm like, oh, man, I miss them. We need them
right now. You know, we could sit there. We could
do bonus shows for extra money. No, you want us
back? Emergency pods. Emergency pods. We could just do emergency
pods. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. We just do emergency
pause like 20 minutes. Emergency pod. Trump said something. Emergency
pod. Anyway, I don't want to get any... Do your
female folk actually listen? Mine doesn't listen anymore. Yes. Mine
doesn't listen. Mimi listens. She's the only one left. Jay
will listen if she knows something about her is going
to be discussed. Yeah. She sent me a selfie. Oh,
yeah, well... I said, send me a selfie, Jay. Tina
wants to see what you look like. Yeah. She's so
cute. I'm glad she looks like her mom. Woo. Um...
Value for value. That's where I was. That's right. It's
the new international lifestyle that we have pioneered and been
living for these almost 19 years. Living the mac and
cheese life. And that means that we don't force ads
in your face. We don't. to make you subscribe to
get the bonus content. We also don't have, you know,
like tote bags or anything like that. We had them,
but they were toxic, so we got rid of them.
They were from China. No one ever got a tote
bag. Instead, we just say, hey, what do you think?
Did you get any value out of the show? If
you did, send some value back to us. We love
time, we love talent, and we love treasure. And the
time and talent part works in many ways. You can
do it like we had to medical folk right in.
This is very valuable to the show. We appreciate stuff
like that. In this case, when it comes to the
artwork, not only did we get a fun piece of
art. We also got a cool movie out of it.
See, this is what we have to remember. Whenever we
choose Scaramanga's art... He always makes a cool movie. Did
you see the little video he did? I missed it.
It's on the tweeters. Check it out. So we titled
the episode The Kennel Index. How is the kennel, by
the way? Is the kennel full? Is it draining? I
didn't ask. Well, you got to ask. I know. It's
how indexes work. Yes. We have to know. Can we
put some AI into our index? The kennel index. We
got to put a camera at the kennel. Yes. Yes.
There you go. Like the old coffee pot cam. Remember
back in the day? Oh, we could see what the
coffee pots were. Bird cams. Bird cams. Bird cams, yes.
I had the Empire State cam for a while. This
was done by Francisco Scaramanga. He is an expert in
usually babes. And it was just too funny what he
did. He had this goofy looking dude. Like a 50s,
like... Madman type dude all jacked on peptides. A big
no agenda testosterone pot next to him. And he's rubbing
the cream on his balls, which is a football, a
basketball, and a soccer ball, accentuated by the text, just
rub it on your balls. I mean, everybody laughed. Everybody
thought this was great. I think the fact that he's
wearing short white shorts with his leg spread kind of
helped. Made a little extra gay. Um... And there were
a couple other people who did similar things. Let's see.
Looking at noagendaartgenerator.com. We had, uh... Oh, wow, I've got
a lot of screw worm stuff for today. um where
was it wow i had to scroll away oh yeah
we had darren o'neill Yeah, Darren had a couple of
good pieces. Blue Acorn had the teabag. We liked that.
It was a close runner-up. Yeah, the teabag was second,
I would say. Close runner-up. That would be second. And
then there was a lot of women made to smile.
And they were pretty good too, but just nothing quite
as good as a Scaramanga's piece. I thought that was,
we loved it. We really did. It was, we laughed.
Did we laugh out loud or did we laugh out
loud? I think we laughed out loud. I think we
lulled, for sure. It was silly. It's silly. And that's
what we love about it. We love silly. It's great.
Now in the treasure department... This is where you can
go to noagendadonations.com, and we really appreciate it when people
do that. And you can send us whatever you think
the show is worth. People love numerology. And of course,
we don't really know what's valuable to you. You know,
$5 may be a lot of money to you. Well,
we appreciate that just as much as someone who sends
$5, $500. Because that may be different for them. It's
value for value. Somehow it all kind of evens out.
It's a bit of a roller coaster, this international... lifestyle,
but it evens out and we feel good about it.
I love the... The spammer we have on our No
Agenda Insta. Who is telling us, I never understand this.
Donations will go up if you tell everybody that Tucker
should be president. He's the true representative MAGA. And the
far left and the far right have to get on
board with everything anti-Israel. I mean, do people really think
that that works? Can you imagine thinking that Tucker? I
mean... Tucker Carlson doesn't want to be president. I'm being
a meaghe, baby. We talked into running, but it's a
farce. And they're associating him with like Spencer Pratt and
Trump. Because you have, oh, you got these guys that
they didn't have any experience. Trump has been running for
president since the 1980s. He's talked about it. Yeah, new
book, new book, I'm running for president. For at least
16 years before he actually ran. Yeah. And so then...
And it was predicted by the Simpsons. I mean, it
wasn't like some surprise. And he's always been somewhat political.
The other guys that are high profile is people like
Ronald Reagan, who is high profile. He was the governor
of California. Okay, let's discount that. He was the head
of the Screen Actors Guild, I believe. And he was
a left-winger turned right-winger, which a lot of these guys
do that. And Spencer Pratt has got a bone to
pick. He's very dedicated to trying to... fix Los Angeles
is just a mayoral thing. It's not a big deal
in terms of like national spotlight, like Tucker being president.
It's stupid. Let me read this guy's post, his comment
verbatim. It's pretty funny. The Israel issue is going to
drastically reduce donations. I've been listening to no agenda since
Obama. And it's hard to hear them sound so out
of touch. Ancient boomers every time the... Ancient? Ancient boomers
every time the... What? Every time the Israel issue comes
up. Israel is the most important issue of times. John
and Adam seem to like the idea of Rubio for
president instead of Tucker. which is insane. The next president
must be actively anti-Israel, not anti-Jewish people, just anti-Israel. That's
great. Yeah, and this guy's writing constantly. Oh yeah. He's
a troll. Well, can't you block him? Maybe I- Jay
would know. Not that you should. I mean, I think
it's hilarious. I'm not going to block him. He's okay.
Yeah, I think it's hilarious. I mean, he's adding some
demand. I told him the same. I told Jay is
our social media person. Well, Jay is more than our
social media person. No, but that's one of her jobs.
Yeah. And so she's doing the whole thing. The instant.
told her when you get these things she what did
i say about this guy she says this guy's annoying
and so uh I said, and I said... And I
wrote a little ditty up for her to just keep
posting, which is a reference to the no agenda mission.
Yes. Go to noagendashow.com and read the mission statement. You'll
find a link to it. And that's the answer. We
don't promote anybody for president. We think Rubio's going to
be the president. We're not taking part in his campaign.
No. No. Let me read the mission statement. Where is
our mission statement? You sure it's on there? And of
course it is. Where's the mission statement? It's down, go
to the bottom. It has all those links at the
bottom. You see the mission statement. You know, you say
that. It's on the left pile of links. I'm looking
at the left. At the bottom. I'm looking at the...
Oh, no agenda mission statement. Here we go. Oh my
goodness. Who wrote this? You've seen this before. I had
you put it there. The No Agenda is a podcasting
LLC whose goal... is to deconstruct the news media to
reveal slanted stories and the reasoning for slanted or misleading
reporting. The purpose is not to critique or discredit news
reports, but through media deconstruction to find the actual underlying
story to give the audience a realistic understanding of current
affairs and events and provide a normalized, objective understanding of
them. Now, unfortunately, people don't like what we conclude. some
people. No agenda has no political motivations and does no
original reporting, but does do original research on stories as
needed. On occasion, the show will read and disseminate what
it calls boots on the ground reporting, which replaces letters
to the editor, dear Abby, and is used as background
information. In some cases, outsiders will be contacted to clarify
a fact to improve analysis. These boots on the ground
reports are provided by the audience of producers who voluntarily
contribute these messages to the show. There's a lot more
here. That's right. We have adopted an open source approach
to its content and trademark name. Notice. allowing third parties
to leverage the show to produce related products such as
branded t-shirts and mugs. This also means that anyone can
post the final produced show on their own sites. Yes,
that's right. That's right. Correct. I'm all in. It's very
good. That's our mission statement. Go read the whole thing,
people. It's worth it. So that is the time and
talent. Now, we love the treasure, obviously, so it keeps
the fires burning here at HQ. And we always thank
everybody who sends us $50 or more. Of course, we
see the spreadsheet. We see everybody under $50, but there's
a lot of people who don't want to be mentioned.
So for anonymity and brevity's sake, we don't do all
of those. But we do thank people, specifically those who
are able to send us $200 or more, between $200
and $300. Not only are we guaranteed to read your
note, but we'll also give you the title of Associate
Executive Producer. And $300 or more gets you an executive.
producership, which you can see thousands of people have done
by going to imdb.com. But you can also search for
it on LinkedIn, Twitter. You see people all over the
place. And we have a peerage ladder, $1,000 in aggregate
over. It doesn't matter how many years or decades, in
this case, you can become a knight or dame of
the NO Agenda Roundtable. But we start off today in
Allentown, New Jersey, with Sir Dr. Vasant Lord of Cotland.
And he sends us $1,030.26. So that is likely $1,000.
He added the fees. We're very thankful for that. He
says, ITM, health karma for all. Sir Dr. Vasant. Lord
of Cotland, future Red Knight. Well, sir, you, in fact,
will be a Red Knight today. And here is that
health karma for all. He's a doctor, after all. You've
got karma. Onward with Richard Gerhart. in Macomb. McComb. Michigan.
same thing, 103026. Uh, ITM? I've been a $4 a
week contributor. Very popular, by the way. Wow. But enjoy
the show so much, I could not resist becoming a
Red Knight. Please call me Sir Richard. The open-hearted. Ooh.
Ooh, that is good. Thanks for your courage, perspective, and
insights, Richard Gerhardt, Rich Gerhardt in Macomb, Michigan. On to
Sir Anonymous, the Viscount of the ADFC and Arapahoe County
in Aurora, Colorado, $369.99. in a note. which is very
nice. It is very colorful. Did it on Mac paint,
I think. This note from Synonymous, the Vicon of ADFC
in Arapahoe County, for the show. Thank you for your
courage and your continued deconstruction. It has been far too
long since my last tithing. Please de-douche me. Happy to
do that. You've been dedouched. No jingles, no karma. Sir
Anonymous, Vicon of the ADFC in the Arapahoe County. He
does say below here about this donation, the amount of
$369.99 is something I like to call the triple intel
threat. That's... Oh, treat. I'm sorry. Triple Intel treat. He
even says that's treat, not threat. Triple Intel treat. As
I've donated this amount before, a brief explanation may suffice.
It's related to Executive Order 12333. Ah, EO12333. Some of
the no agenda spooks may know what that is, but
the number 12333 also has... special meaning to the numerologists
amongst us. Here you have the power of three in
many forms. 1, 2, 3.33 times 3 is 369.99. Wow,
perhaps you noticed that 369.99 is 3 followed by 6,
which is 3 plus 3, and the Jews did it.
I'm sorry. That's usually what comes out of those things.
Followed by 9, which is 3 plus 3 plus 3,
or 3 times 3, ending with 99, which is 33
times 3. Wow. The guy is really into his numbers,
John. Did you mute yourself? It looks like we won't
make it. to 20 years. You're back. Yeah. What happened?
That took a long time. Yeah, well, you know why?
No, I'm curious. I moved the chair, unplugged the router,
which was tangled up in the chair, the wire on
the floor, pulled the thing down and then jerked it
around so much. I couldn't get it back on. So
I had. So I'm thinking I could get it going,
but no. And so... Wow. Something got bent. So I
ended up having to switch networks to a Wi-Fi third
backup that I have downstairs, which is an AT&T connection.
That is a boomer move if I've ever heard one.
Awesome. Awesome. I'm going to leave some of that in
the show. That was pretty good. It was ludicrous. Anyway.
Thank you very much, Sir Anonymous, the Viscount of the
ADFC in Arapahoe County, for your many, many number threes.
Yeah, um... Now we go to Sir Carl of Cary,
which he calls himself such because he's in Cary, North
Carolina. 340-375. He says, my wife saw the sad puppy,
which was the last newsletter, and I explained what it
was about. She actually told me I should send in
a donation. And it's been too long since the last
one. Good woman you married to. Yes, you did. Also,
I want to make sure you guys don't run out
of... What? A ball? Oh, ball cream. Yes, ball cream.
That's a joke for you. That's a reference to the...
Yeah. Thank you for your courage. I'm sorry I said
that. Sir Kerry, Carla Kerry. Yes, ball creep. There's Dennis

pressure. No, but no, you have an EKG hookup and
then they keep checking your blood pressure so you don't
drop dead on one of the machines. Yeah, that would
suck. I mean, I guess it's happened. If you're going
to die, do it on the show. Don't do it
on the treadmill at the hospital. That's no good. You
know, so there's a bunch of, yeah. I know, I

Always a party. noagendameetups.com. *music* ♪ ♪ Remember we have
John's revised tip of the day coming up. I'm very
excited what this revision is. I mean, I've never really
had any influence on him at all, and certainly not
on the tip of the day, so this should be
fun. But before we get to that and our end
of show mixes, we have to select the end of
show ISO, which will be played at the very end
of the show. I've got three and seems like you've
got some celebrity ISOs, so I will go first. Are
you ready? Yeah, here comes bend over. Man, maybe these
conspiracy people are right about everything. a little on the
long side, but I kind of liked it. Yeah, season
number two? That about sums it up. Got cut off.
What? No, it's no good. It's no good. It's no
good. Here's one. We've done it for a long time.
I kind of like my first... Man, maybe these conspiracy
people are right about everything. All right. Yeah, I kind
of like that one, too. It's good. Let's see what
you have. Well, I got some celebrities. I got... You
know, I've been going to these different sites. There are
just a million of them now. Yeah. I think a
lot of them are basing on the same... Model. Models.
It's hard to say. Some of these models are no...
good. This is, for example, Morgan Freeman. The No Agenda
podcast is great, so donate. Doesn't sound like him at
all. I know a guy who can do Morgan Friedman.
We'll have him do some jingles. I will. I will.
Yes, I agree. It's not that one that I'm dumping
that one out of the player. That's no good. Here's
Trump. Folks, make podcasting great again with the No Agenda
podcast and donate today. Also close, but... Not, it's not
really him, you know, I didn't really, let me hear
it again. Folks, make podcasting great again with the No
Agenda podcast. and donate today. It's like Trump and Jason
Calacanis had a kid and then made an ISO. No,
I have to reject it. I'm sorry. It's just not
good enough. Well, I'm not going to argue the point
because the thing that bothers me about their model for
Trump is he can't end a sentence. Right. And donate
today. Yeah, no, it's no good. Believe me, I worked
it. I spent a good 10 minutes changing the copy
and I still couldn't get the ending to come out
correctly. It was also almost as long as the podcast
itself. So that was. It wasn't that bad. Yours is
long. Okay, what's the timing on yours? The one that
you're going to pick and this one, I think yours
is longer. No. Mine is three seconds. Yours is five
seconds. I will play them at the same time. To
prove my point. 3, 2, 1. Folks, make podcasting great
again with the No Agenda Podcast and donate today. Huh?
Okay. Wow. You've come up with new trickery to humiliate
me. Time for tip of the day! for you Just
the tip with JCB and sometimes Adam. Okay, I think
people have to, uh... The AI thing needs to be
tempered. So when the whole thing collapses, you're not going
to be taken. Oh, my God. What a shocker. So
you want there's a sub stack out there that is
the guy he is the guy who is the expert,
an AI expert who is also a naysayer. His name
is Gary. Ed Zitron. Sorry? Ed Zitron. No. Gary Marcus.
Gary Marcus. Professor back east. Gary Marcus. Everybody knows him.
Hmm. GaryMarcus.Substack.com And just read his material and you will
have a very... grounded sense of where This is going
why it's no good. why it's going to fail, how
it's going to fail, and all the rest of it.
He is the best at this. Do you think that
if AI was really good, it could avoid the bubble
popping itself? That's a good one. Gary Marcus, what is
his latest insight that you have read? Can you paraphrase?
The last one that I remember was he commented on
the market crash of Friday, which was really AI crash.
and he discusses why and how and it's actually very
he writes a little long but not in a boring
long way, just long. Okay. Is he a boomer? I
don't know. I never, I don't even know how old
he is. He's really good though. Well, I will investigate
and I will report back on this tip of the
day, which of course you can find at noagendafun.com or
tipoftheday.net. It's nice for you Just the tip with JCB
and sometimes Adam. Now let me take a look real
quick, let me see if the robot found out what
this is called. Oh, no. No. No, I'll have to
find some other way. Robot fails. AI is no good.
Although, when you listen to this mix of end of
show mixes, which includes Ian Cummings, who is new. He's
got the toe tapper in the middle. We have Justin.
Baker and MVP all sandwiched together for our end of
show mix. It's not bad. It's a little bit in
your face here and there, but it's not bad. At
least the lyrics are about the show and telling you
to donate. So please consider doing that at knowagentthedonations.com and
