Transcript

This is a stunner.

Adam Curry, John C.

Dvorak.

And Sunday, June 29th, 2025, this is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1777.

This is no agenda.

Now, with less than one-third adult content and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we all wonder whatever happened to Trini Lopez, I'm John C.

Dvorak.

It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill in the morning.

First of all, I'm almost positive you have used that as an opening on the show before.

I hope not.

I may have to look it up.

Second of all, if I had a hammer, I'd hammer it in the morning.

Wasn't that Trini Lopez?

It was one of his songs.

Yeah, it was, of course, I think it was a Bob Seeger song.

Not Bob Seeger, but Bob Seeger.

Bob Seeger.

No, the other Seeger, Pete Seeger,

the folklore communist.

And it just came to mind because I was watching the American Masters

story about Bob Dylan.

American Masters story?

Is that different from the movie currently out?

No, American Masters is a PBS thing.

It's like every week.

Oh, okay.

They had one on Little Richard and Bob Dylan.

Wow.

And

Bob Dylan was quite the character.

Wait, wait, wait.

Boomer talk on the ace.

That's right, everybody.

Boomer talk.

Hey, it was on TV just the other day.

So it can't be that.

Just the fact that you're watching TV is now boomer talk.

I got to tell you.

You know, I'm trying not to be irritated by it because obviously I don't feel like I'm a boomer.

But because it knows, everyone knows it irritates me, it only exacerbates the problem.

So they just think it's funny and they just keep doing it over and over.

My kid.

Hey, dad, boomer.

I mean, you're used to it because, well, golly, you actually are a boomer.

I'm a real boomer.

There it is.

I'm a real boomer.

That should be.

Yeah, not a bogus cusp, cusp, cusp, cusp, boomer.

Boomer adjacent, as we say.

Boomer adjacent.

Well, you're technically a boomer.

Well, if you listen to,

well, no, listen, if you read the, you know, I'm sure you don't get any of this

because even your Twitter, your ex-handle is, you know, it's not just John C.

Dvorak.

It's the real Dvorak, whatever it is.

No one can remember it.

Your emails.

It's so difficult.

Yeah, Dvorak is tough for the non-boomers, trust me.

You know, you don't get the email.

I mean, it's, I mean, I'm literally getting emails, oh, enjoy sucking Trump off.

I mean, that's literally the stuff I deal with every single day.

Every single day.

It's unbelievable.

This is new.

No, it's not new.

This is,

by the way, it's thanks to you.

Thanks to you saying, you know, you brought up the Jew hate on the last show, and then everyone blames me.

It's unbelievable.

Well, you know.

Yeah, you know what?

You know what.

AdamEdCurry.com is a lot easier to spell.

This is, well, of of course, this is like.

And this is the kind of dimwits that would write in that, you know, they, I don't know how to spell curry.

I think I can spell that because I had it for dinner.

So listen to this.

Here, I'll just give you a couple of

examples.

A couple of examples.

We're starting to show off roots.

Yeah, we're starting with gems.

I thought I was listening to the Mark Levin show there for a minute with the ridiculous Dvoraks.

They're all just Juraters line.

This entire show was like Fox boomer slop.

Kind of like that one.

Why would you straw man a concerns of Zionism with Jew hatred?

I'm not sure what that means, actually.

I don't either.

They spent the first hour calling anyone who doesn't want to send Israel their billions and billions per year anti-Semites and clarifying that Zionism is impossible.

And then cry the donations are slowing down because the low IQ boomers that eat this shit up are dying off.

We ever said that anyone's dying off.

No, no, no, no.

Nor did we say, I think

that criticized saying Zionism is impossible.

I don't think we ever said that.

How's multipolar world order means that China is suddenly going to run the world and the U.S.

has to do things at the behest of China?

If the U.S.

can't compete without being a gangster, then the U.S.

deserves it.

That's a good one.

Um,

Adam Curry,

why are you acting like the government isn't of Israel isn't controlling us?

Can it be people within our government/slash billionaires working for the benefit of Israel?

Sometimes their interests overlap with the military industrial complex?

Seriously, they lost me big time on this one.

I haven't listened a ton, but I always thought they were coming from a more conspiracy-minded thing outside-the-box angle.

Seems like they took a sharp turn towards BoomerCon Inc.

What?

I know, I know, no, no, it's crazy.

Well, no, but what is BoomerCon?

Yeah, BoomerCon Inc.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Like Neocon, BoomerCon, I guess.

Oh, BoomerCon, Neocon, or maybe like Comic-Con.

Yeah, in a way, BoomerCon, Comic-Con.

Yeah, sure.

That makes sense.

Yeah, so we're having a big meetup.

Can you imagine the BoomerCon meetup?

Oh, my God.

That would be great.

Hey,

where's the door?

And here's my favorite.

Ridiculous.

You guys are taking money from Israel.

It's obvious.

Your analysis is too absurd.

Where is this money?

Your analysis is too absurd and biased to be believed as sincere.

Just admit it and interview your daddy, BB.

Wow.

The thing that somebody actually wrote that,

you're starting to write your own notes.

No, I'm not making it.

You're saying it to yourself in your sleep.

You're sleepwriting.

You can go right on my X account and see it.

it's all public

so the thing that baffles me though

the thing that baffles me it is that

and maybe people have been listening for a long time but we have always just given our opinion no matter how harsh the blowback

No matter how harsh.

And we've taken the blowback time and time again.

And then years later, people go, you know, you were kind of right about that.

Mostly.

I don't know.

Was there anything that we really took a stand on that we were so incredibly wrong on?

Never.

Is this the one?

Never.

Is this the one?

Is this the one?

Finally, this is the one.

No.

So

I have an aircraft carrier.

That's all there is to it.

It's just that simple.

What did that take a genius to figure it out?

Well, this, you know,

this is a very polarizing moment in

America.

And I think, as I really, I was reflecting on this,

you know, because you and I are indeed baffled.

We're baffled by the, it's so obvious.

History shows exactly

what we have done to the state of Israel.

You know, this was cooked up in 1974.

I know it's a long time ago.

And admittedly, even as

a young boomer adjacent, I wasn't quite politically politically aware at the time.

But the history books do show that the U.S.

uses Israel for many things and many, many bad things.

But also.

Yeah,

well, you know, you have to do, sometimes you have to crack an egg to make an omelette.

There's no doubt about that.

But what has crept into

the narrative

And this started several years ago with, so this is not new, but it started several years ago with No Agenda Social.

If you recall, the whole reason that I said, hey, we got to disassociate.

Well, actually, even began before that with No Agenda Forums.

Yeah, but that wasn't about Israel.

No Agenda Forums.

Yeah, you're right.

No Agenda Social became a

bunch of, yeah.

It was the most.

blocked instance on the Fetiverse because people were just going insane with their, with the, literally Jew hate memes.

That's what it was but that's what it all it always goes from israel to oh there's another meme with a crook nose okay very funny um

but the more i look at this the more i think about it the more i see what's happening which is really

it's really interesting how you have

i'd say non-political people on the right which is i think that's pretty much if you look at the old no agenda the no authority crowd they're not really political they just think that israel's running the show and of course,

they are blackmailing everybody in Congress.

And they run our policy.

And we're all doing everything at the best, at the best of Israel.

Yeah, we have to stop right there and assume that the reason for this

thought

is an op.

Thank you.

And I actually, now I've been thinking, it's been on my heart.

It really has been.

It's like,

you know, hey, I'm a sensitive guy.

These things affect me.

They couldn't imprison President Trump.

They couldn't kill him.

I think this is the new attack vector to literally rip apart support for President Trump.

And this issue of Israel is dividing people who are not left,

but they're actually bringing them over to the

protesters at Colombia's side.

It's really, really interesting.

So, how do these two opposite sides of the spectrum unite?

Now, personally, I'm sensitive to this issue because I grew up in the Netherlands.

I played with kids, and their grandmother would be there.

She had numbers tattooed on her arm.

And so, I got a very different education in how

Jew hate,

how that got out of control.

And when you think about it, when you think about Kanye West and Nick Fuentes and all these people who are blaming every problem in America, every problem with our policy is Israel.

It wouldn't take much for a different president or leader, could even be a Republican, to say, you know, Israel really is the problem.

And it wouldn't take much to get people riled up because we are in accelerated idiocracy.

That's my new version of AI.

It's obvious.

that we are becoming stupid.

But I'm pretty sure the people who do real psyops is the military-industrial complex.

It's all about them.

It always has been.

When did Eisenhower do his speech?

Was that before I was born?

Was that 19.

What year were you born?

I forgot.

Almost 1965, but okay.

Oh, no, no.

Yeah, well, he was still in office.

He left office in 60.

Right.

So this was.

That was his last speech, one of his last speeches around 59, I believe.

Right.

So before I was born, just listen to this.

It's worth replaying this bit because there's some things in here that you need to pay attention to.

This is history.

American makers of plowshares could,

with time and as required, make swords as well.

But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense.

We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.

Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment.

3.5 million back before 1960.

Just imagine how many people now work directly or indirectly in the military-industrial complex.

It must be at least tenfold.

We annually spend on military security alone more than the net income of all United States

corporations.

Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience.

It's new!

The total influence, economic, political, even spiritual, is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government.

We recognize the imperative need for this development.

Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.

Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved.

So is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

No, he's not saying Israel.

The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

We should take nothing for granted.

Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals

so that security and liberty may prosper together.

So really, and I got to talk about the military-industrial complex for a second here, and how I believe that it's, it may even be the DIA, and it's very easy to psyop on, And they do this all the time.

They're proud of it.

They're proud of what they do on social media.

They're proud of the people they get on big podcast microphones.

They love it.

And they do this all the time.

And if anything, they hide behind Israel with APAC because the money comes from the military-industrial complex.

A reminder:

here's Massey.

No friend of the Israel lobby, no friend even of President Trump, spelling it out very clearly where where the money comes from.

And the money that goes to Israel does not go into Israel's coffers.

There's no big, giant, great Britain lobby.

There's no Australian lobby.

There's no German lobby.

So the other countries don't have them.

No, no, not like this.

This is singular.

This is unique.

I mean, if you're an ally, why wouldn't we work with you?

Why do you have to convince us that you're our ally?

Why do you have to basically go into every congressional office and convince them?

And it's because they want to keep the money flowing.

And

they've got a good return on their investment.

I mean, we send more foreign aid to Israel than to any other country.

Yeah.

They're, you know, like 10 million people or something.

Yeah, I think.

Tennessee, I don't know the population in Tennessee, but it's probably about, you know, on that order.

Yeah, I think they should, they said we spent like $12 billion, but that's not actual dollars.

It's in military aid, right?

Yeah, it's, well, it's, it's dollars in commission treasury.

Yeah.

But it's not like we give them,

it's a gift certificate that's redeemable at Lockheed Martin and your local Raytheon.

Okay, got it.

That's the point.

And the military has always shaped our culture in Hollywood.

They have the biggest budgets for the movies you see.

Top Gun,

Rocky, remember the shake with wrestling?

Come on.

It's not the Jews making up this idea.

This is the military-industrial complex has made it.

the iron shit.

Thank you.

The iron shit.

I have his autograph on a photo.

I sit sitting right by this.

I'm sure you do.

So what have we heard recently?

Oh, the grid's going down.

Chinese military-aged men.

Russia is going to take over all of Europe.

China is buying up all the land.

None of it, none of it comes to fruition.

My own military-industrial complex handlers tried this on me since this Iran thing rose.

You know, oh, yeah, Israel,

because I know it.

I know who they are.

I know what they're sending me.

And, you know, and I just ignore it, and they stop eventually because, like, nah, Curry, nah, he's no good.

I bet you every single podcast.

Oh, good.

This guy's no good.

But we're also.

We're a new handler at him.

We're irrelevant.

We're just two boomers.

We are.

Boomers.

You snapping on a podcast.

We have about a million people, and they're all,

what would you call them, a fringe?

Yeah.

They think for themselves anyway.

So with or without us, they'd probably

have their own opinion.

However, if you and I weren't who we were, who we are right now, first of all, you'd have a vinegar book, and I would probably have Ryan Seacrest career.

But that's not who we are.

I don't know why, but we're just like, no, I'm not interested in

go along to get along.

I've never done any of that.

And I think that many people.

Podcasters, ironically, podcasters, they have audience capture and they see see these men.

They get these messages.

Oh, crap.

Well, let me look into this.

Well, yeah, what are we sending to Israel?

And they don't have

the age and the knowledge of history or maybe even have cracked a book from time to time or gone back and looked at something.

Like,

where did this really come from?

So, and this op, I think, is meant to undermine Trump.

And Trump is making a big mistake.

He should be honest with the American people and tell everybody really what's going on because now we have no, gone.

Gone is the talk of immigration, inflation,

even Russia, Ukraine is on the back burner, tariffs.

None of this is important.

And I think this op is broad.

It's been

thought about.

Someone smart is doing this.

Fox News, it all clicked into place for me all of a sudden.

Of course, Fox is run by the Democrats.

Democrats run Fox News.

So what do they do?

They put that moron, Levin, on prime time, hype him up.

He's got all the promos.

And all he's talking about is, oh, yeah, Israel is that pisses everybody off.

It's a divisionary tactic.

The same for the five.

And

I don't watch.

Greg Gutfeld.

I'm sure he just does dumb jokes at night.

And who, and when did this really start?

This started with Elon.

And I think Elon's just weak.

Yeah, whatever they did, Elon, look at this.

Elon, see what we're doing.

We're getting everyone to burn your cars.

How much more can you stand, Elon?

You better denounce Trump.

One of the Doge guys, he's now moving over to Colorado, came to visit me before they left.

And

I said, you know, well, this is about China.

And I said, no, no, AIPAC, APAC, it's Israel.

They run the whole government.

They got the goods and everybody, which to me means that's what Doge was thinking.

That's what Elon was thinking.

So all of this is working very, very well because you got Marjorie Taylor Greene going on Tucker saying, oh, I'm sick and tired of Israel.

And Trump is, you know, what happened to him?

And it's all over.

It is.

President Trump needs to come out and just say it.

This was about China.

And thank you to the Israelis, not Israel, not Bibi, Netanyahu.

Thank you to the Mossad.

You just say it.

Thank you to the Mossad because they helped us send the message loud and clear.

And luckily, I can find some compatriots in this.

Mike Baker has a podcast, and he had Stephen Yates on.

I have a Mike Baker podcast clip today.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Well, I'll play mine.

Well, mine is about, mine is about

as a look when you're done with this little thing you're doing.

Yes.

Your little thing.

My little thing I'm doing here.

Your little thing.

I'm going to talk about

spooks on the podcast and

the deconstruction of that phony baloney

DIA memo.

Oh, excellent.

Which to me was also complete DIA propaganda.

Hey, we need to have more bombs.

You got to have more stuff.

Got to be worried.

Oh, sleeper cells.

Sleeper cells everywhere.

Bull, bull crap.

And by the way, Iranians really warm up to American culture.

Very much so.

Anybody say I'm reminded of an old Saturday night bit where these sleeper cells, this was from years ago,

during, I forgot what period of terrorism it was, but the Saturday night bit was these sleeper cells were sitting, they were in Armonk, New York, or someplace in the Armonk.

In a suburb, and they got a call.

Okay, it's time to take action.

So I got my wife because I got to go to a little league game this afternoon.

What are you doing here with me?

Oh, dude, remember when,

was it just before Christmas?

They were worried about a dirty bomb exploding, and the guy was filming me for some Bitcoin documentary, and he was calling up his kids and like, oh, I got to get him out of New York.

I got to get him into the center of the country because of the dirty bomb.

I don't remember what hoax that was.

And by the way, when you go after the Jews and Israel slash the Jews, you automatically go after the Christians.

You see, because that's exactly what happened between Tucker and Ted Cruz, who was ill-prepared.

No kidding.

And the American church is weak.

It's weak.

They won't stand up and say, no, that's bullcrap.

It's weak.

I would agree with that.

Yes, it's very weak.

there's people trying to in fact the whole in fact this recent supreme court's justice showed to show how weak the american church is it was a muslim that that pulled the plug on all the porn in grammar school yeah i know it was the muslims that had the nerve to do it the christians didn't do anything about it they they they're very confused and they've been beaten down by you know stuff like the the separation clause non-existent separation clause so there's all kinds we have a spiritual problem in America.

There's not a political problem.

So now I want to play, thank God we have Mike Baker and Stephen Yates to talk some sense in everybody about what really took place, which was China got a wake-up call from President Trump.

In the immediate aftermath, we've heard very little from China.

What do you make of the Chinese reaction?

and mindset towards what's happened regarding Iran.

Well, my first assumption is that they, like most of the world, including a lot of Americans,

did not realize this was actually going to happen.

And I think that they were probably thrown a bit when they saw the B-2s going to Guam.

That is getting close to the area they like to operate in.

And then all of a sudden, before they really get any other news, some things go boom, boom in Iran from another area.

So a little bit of a head fake probably made them spin a bit.

But they also were a little high on their own supply in giving Pakistan some weapons.

And they thought that the recent skirmish between India and Pakistan saw Pakistan maybe besting some technology the Indians had.

And all of a sudden, the world sees that American stealth technology actually works, that we can actually have an operation without leaks.

And I think that probably put a pin in one of the balloons of China is on the rise inevitably, the next boss on the block, America's on the decline, and you better make a deal with the new boss.

So I bet they had a big, big, deep breath to contemplate what just happened.

And I mentioned, I think, four or five shows ago, be on the lookout for the term multipolar world, because that's what this is about.

And I remain as an American, I'm glad because I don't want the Chinese running the show.

Call me a douchebag, call me an imperialist, whatever.

Best price is not my culture.

So what is the relationship between Iran and China?

Talk to me, if you could, about the extent, the nature of the relationship between Iran and China.

And then also in context with China's response in the aftermath of the attacks, are you surprised at their reaction, which, I mean, to me, or to anybody who's not an expert on China, we look at it and go, that's pretty hands-off from their perspective.

Yeah.

Well, yeah, because they have been giving a political narrative out to the world that together with Moscow and Tehran and maybe Pyongyang and a few others, they were trying to create this alternative universe that was going to be multipolar and balance against the bad Americans.

And

they were going to have their own currency be a reserve currency, all this pie in the sky stuff about what they were going to do in the world.

And so if you believe that narrative, and there's some...

truth to their trying to at least stoke those ideas, then this does look like a conspicuous pulling back from someone who's supposed to be an ally getting walloped.

And you're like, whoa,

you're on your own.

I don't really know who you are.

But Iran's response by threatening to shut off the Straits of Hormuz, that was definite no-go zone for China because they are still very dependent on a lot of energy from the Gulf, not just buying a lot of Iranian oil, which they have done.

but from other sources too.

And so my guess is that they were conveying that privately to Tehran.

And I think that they did have a national interest in there not being a wider conflict because it would have a material impact on their economic forecast.

They can't be the manufacturing supply platform for the world without that dose of natural gas and oil from the Gulf.

And so when President Trump comes out and says, hey, thanks to the IDF and the Mossad and BB and whatever, yeah, he's right.

It's always seemed that the the Chinese regime has been giddy anytime the U.S.

gets mired in some sort of overseas

conflict.

You know, again, if you go with the theory that the regime, the Chinese regime, always acts in its own best interest, they looked at it and said, well, it's not in our best interests if this thing escalates.

Well, and I think they'll still play some politics, but basically they are a chaser, not a maker in this.

So they see a situation.

What do you mean by that?

So they're not driving events.

They're chasing events.

And so when this breaks out, number one, Israel proves capable to do nearly miraculous things to the Iranians.

That has to freak the Chinese out because Israel is not a major power.

Israel's not one of these poles in this balancing act that they thought they were going to try to come out on top with this multipolar world.

And, you know, of course, Israel has advanced technology.

They have been fighting.

They know how to fight.

They also know how to do real intelligence, I think stunningly effective intelligence in the way these things played out.

And all of that, I think, has to freak China out because if you look at what the Ukrainians were able to do with drones deep into Russia, and then you look what the Israelis were able to do deep into Iran, not just with drones, but human intelligence, placing people in vital positions.

They had basically Tehran's complete playbook, and they were striking with unbelievable precision, where there's just a burnt black hole in one flat, in one building, killing one top military advisor.

That's the kind of stuff that creeps the Chinese out that someone could do to them at some point.

Exactly.

And I wish President Trump would just do a Ross Perot.

Come out, draw with your sharpie, say, look, here, look, people, here's what the world is like right now.

Here are the options.

This is what we're doing.

Instead, and yes, you either have the military force or you don't.

And all that.

Your reference to Ross Perot is lost on half the audience, but you're absolutely correct.

Well, hello,

Boomer Talk on the AIDS.

Explain what Ross Perot used to do.

I'm still amazed that no one else has ever done this.

Yeah,

he used to buy half an hour of airtime on the networks when he was running as an independent, and he'd come out, then he'd say, all right, people, here's the money, here's what we got, here's what we owe, and he'd do it like a budget at home.

But he'd also have, he'd have these little drawings,

and he'd draw these little very good drawings that were obviously, you know, somebody else did, and he'd just reproduce them.

And he could have become president of the United States as a president except until somebody showed him a picture

yeah well they threatened his family i think is what they did so we're going to kill you we're going to kill your family if you don't get out of the way because he was really disrupting that election

so

it was so i think and i and by the way i don't think president trump is capable of doing something like that he just he can't talk which is a problem and i don't know where jd vance is but jd vance used to be the trump whisperer and could explain it and translate that at least during the campaign.

You know, so you get,

what you get is you get conversations with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker that go like this.

Since I've become a member of Congress, since 2021, we have voted on 22

resolutions for Israel.

22 of them.

All kinds of resolutions, you know, denouncing anti-Semitism, supporting Israel.

We voted on 22 of those.

We never vote on resolutions proclaiming great things about America.

By the way, a resolution is meaningless.

We do resolutions about 100 things that are stupid.

It's a resolution.

Yeah, we all agree on this.

Yeah, we agree on it.

Okay, we agree on it.

It's just military-industrial complex nonsense and cover-up.

When will people see this?

Ending certain Americans.

I hope, no, I have hopes for America.

Yeah, Americans in general.

But we have voted on 22 resolutions in the House defending Israel.

How many of you voted yes on?

I don't know my exact record.

The last one

I

voted no on, and then the one before that I voted present because I just started getting sick of it.

Well, that's kind of it.

I mean, I never really, I've always noticed this, certainly in the last

I don't know how many years it's been, a while, where Republicans in the Congress are always talking about Israel.

I'm not against Israel.

I've always liked Israel, so I don't haven't really noticed it.

Okay, fine.

Love Israel.

Love any country, whatever.

But it feels like something has changed.

Like why?

And clearly it has for you.

What is that thing?

Well, I think here's the situation.

It's coming to a point where it's so obvious all the time in everyone's language, the social media posts they put out, the statements that they make.

They have to proclaim Israel.

They have to proclaim their faith and loyalty in israel and how they you know israel is our greatest ally and it's a statement that has to be made over and over and over again to the point it's becoming like wait a minute what about our own country what about our own people that is the talking point that is she is doing exactly exactly what they want her to do

it's spot well who's they the military the defense base

The defense industrial base.

But what are they getting out of that?

I agree with you, by the way.

I think this whole thing is like a giant, very well-structured op.

And I think there was an element of keeping the Jews in their place.

Of course.

They're abusing the Jews themselves.

You guys just shut up for a minute.

You're a bunch of intellectual

bookish type.

Shut up, y'all.

Shut up.

They were using you.

We're going to sh you know, you shut up.

We're going to do this and that.

And we're going to hate on Israel for a while because it draws attention.

There's some, it's too little, for for my taste, it's a little too complicated.

And I think you might feel the same way by asking Trump to explain it when he's never going to explain.

It's not his thing.

But the thing is, when she says, well, hold on, what about us?

Again, immigration.

The president won the election on immigration.

Inflation, down.

What do eggs cost?

I mean, tariffs.

He is doing everything he said for America, including scurrying off the chinese out of the middle east and africa and africa the africa thing is interesting is the most interesting part of this i actually have the uh you know i have that clip here

sorry i was gonna say by the way we don't have any clips on this but all hell is breaking loose in kenya

gen z kids in kenya of all places kenya yeah

are uh it just is a pride control pride stuff.

Is it pride stuff?

No, no, it's not pride stuff.

It's about taxes.

Really?

So, listen, so this is Manga, Africa News.

But they actually exactly what, and we talked about this before.

Anyone was talking about this truce.

The agreement signed Friday between Congo and Rwanda has been touted by many as a major step towards ending years of war in Congo's east.

But this analyst says mineral wealth is just one of the many drivers of conflict in the region and not the only one.

In the Eastern DRC, of course, during the Obama administration, they sold some of these mines to China.

What, what, what?

Obama sold some of those mines to China?

In the Eastern DRC, of course, during the Obama administration, they sold some of these mines to China,

which owns a lot of mines in the eastern DRC.

And parties to the conflict till this day are still very focused on their interest in these mineral resources.

While the agreement principally concerns the states of Congo and Rwanda, there are dozens of armed groups and proxy forces in the picture, which could complicate any chances of a lasting peaceful solution.

There's a disconnect between the high-level peace building, the ones we see on TV, the Qatar process, the

AU-led Rwanda-Angola process.

These peace processes have not led to any tangible agreement for over 30 years that this conflict has gone on, and we are seeing that there's a gap

that these two high-level peace building and the grassroots peace building are not connecting.

One of those groups is Rwanda-backed M23, with which Congo is holding separate talks mediated by Qatar.

So it's not over.

I mean, yeah, we've got the high-level peace, and we're going to send military down there to keep the peace.

You know, the thing that we do, the Chinese don't do down there, the Chinese have used all kinds of techniques, and mostly in the form of bribery, by we're going to build roads, we're going to build a dam, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.

They put a bunch of Chinese laborers in there, of course.

And

so they can actually get the job done.

But we've been in Africa,

Afrikom.

And bombing, more bombing going on down there over the years, the last few decades.

We've been bombing and we got people there.

It's just a never reported.

Nobody discusses it.

Well, back to my original premise.

Donald Trump don't trust China.

China is S.O.

That is what is going on here.

And I'm just sad.

I really am.

That our own people,

that they cannot get past the Israel thing.

And they just they are so convinced because the op has been going on for years.

It is maybe it may be he never even stopped after World War II, as far as I'm concerned.

But it has always been about military.

Yeah, there's a lot of people who love killing people, a lot of people in our elite circles, a lot.

There's definitely people in Congress who like killing people.

They're sick.

But I truly think President Trump knows what he's doing in this particular case.

He doesn't, he does, he also listens poorly.

You know, I would feel a lot better if he said, you know, that vaccine sucked.

You know, but instead, his ego gets in the way and he goes, Operation Warp Speed, we have saved millions of lives.

He hasn't brought Warp Speed up for a long time.

Well, yeah, but Maya Culpa, from time to time,

he knows what happens when you start talking about vaccines.

Kennedy's his front man for this.

Kennedy's doing what he can.

And every time he turns around, he's slammed by people in Congress and everybody else for going to kill us all if we don't have more vaccines.

Yeah, I got some stuff on that later.

But also the Panama Canal.

You know,

it's like that was for our benefit.

Everyone gets a nose out of joint.

Pun intended.

You know, oh, what's he doing now?

He's doing it for America.

And I think indirectly for the world, you know what?

The EU, they're going to jump right into bed with bricks.

They are weak.

Queen Ursula is already talking about a new WTO.

You know, well, we got to, you know, we got to avoid the mistakes of the past.

They're going to be completely owned and run by Chinese culture,

culture of surveillance.

You know, I think we're still kind of fighting it here, kind of.

Maybe lost it.

Well, I don't take such a dim view of that.

Of the

latest BRICS conference, Putin and Xi, neither one of them showed up.

Well, of course, the rest of of them hang out.

When was the conference?

It was just like a couple days ago.

Yeah.

Gee, is that a coincidence?

Well, it's not a coincidence at all.

But the point is, is that we put a little pressure on the situation by being ourselves.

And the next thing you know, these guys are bailing out of their own operation.

Right.

So

I don't see the Europeans are, yeah, I agree.

They're weak, but they're not going with this crap.

I hope not.

But they're pretty far down the road as far as I'm concerned.

So anyway, let's...

Where we are with the surveillance state, that's got to stop.

Yeah, it's too far.

They love it.

The Brits

are completely out of control.

Yeah.

So, you know,

and it's all funny, and we can all do memes.

But people in the UK

are,

they're beside themselves.

Like, what has happened?

What has happened to our country?

Well, Ireland's another example.

You know, and it all just kind of gets swept under the rug.

And so this president has done amazing things.

Please try and not get so hung up on this Israel meme.

You know, they're killing.

Yeah, Israel sucks.

What they're doing in Palestine to the Palestinians.

There's no country Palestine.

I even fall for it myself.

You know, but why won't any other country in the Middle East take the Palestinians?

You know, so it's use your

noggin from time to time.

You can yell at me all you want.

And I and I advise it.

And by the way, I'd say to the American church, you've got to get out there.

You've got to calm people down.

You've got to bring people to Jesus.

Otherwise, we're lost.

Nothing else can save us.

All right.

Go into your DIA stuff.

I don't think.

That's just

a dim view.

Yeah, I'm taking a dim view.

The DIA leak was interesting because it brought me to these guys that do

ex-spooks, including Mike Baker, who are doing these analysis.

They're doing these analysis podcasts, which I think are generally speaking

not as good as they could be.

But I did discover the Wright report.

And I think this guy, who's very happy with his voice, he really thinks he should be a broadcaster.

Oh, does he puke a lot?

Well, that's pretty close to it.

And Baker Baker and him kind of have competing podcasts.

And Baker actually has the president's daily briefing.

The other guy started his podcast and called it the President's Daily Briefing.

Then it's quickly changed into the Wright Report because of these things do happen.

No, wait,

but the clip I got from him was from the Presidential Daily Briefing.

And that was because that's because Baker has that.

Oh, yeah.

The other guy who had the President's Daily Briefing after Baker already established it.

Oh, I see.

Didn't know about Baker's or something.

I don't know how that

little podcast wars going on.

So he changed it from the president's daily briefing to the Wright report.

Okay.

But

they both discussed, and I thought it was interesting because

I think Wright is a little spookier than Baker.

Baker's more of a five.

I mean, Baker's, he comes on Gutfeld quite a bit, and he plays the CIA spook on the show.

And they defer to him a lot for that.

And he doesn't really bring much

spy craft to the show and he doesn't do his even to his own show he does some good interviews like the one you played but he doesn't give us any insight or any feeling toward he doesn't you don't get the impression that he's currently really

that he's not ready yeah you get this sense that he's just doing the news and so his his daily briefing is not i don't think is is that valuable of a a piece of podcasting but let's listen to what mike Baker talks about when he talks about it.

I got a little clip here on his, his,

he went on for 15 minutes about the DIA leak, but it was mostly, and this is, we're talking about the leaked memo,

which they're trying to track down who leaked it.

I think it's a congressman.

And Jesse Waters says he thinks he knows who it is, and exactly.

It's someone in an intelligence committee.

And

Baker goes on forever about it.

And he never, this is pretty much what he says over and over again.

This is his take on it.

This is DI leak, DIA leak by Mike Baker?

Yes.

Okay.

Is that the assessment was labeled, quote, low confidence.

And in intelligence speak, well, that's an important descriptor.

A low confidence assessment means analysts don't have enough verified high-quality information to reach a solid conclusion.

He's trying to do Casey Casey.

He sounds almost like AI.

Yes, he does sound like AI, but this is his.

That's his read.

I can't explain what he's trying to do, but he's trying to sound like an audience.

And now we have a long-distance dedication.

The problem I have with the modern, some of these guys, they're using...

techniques, radio announcer techniques from the 50s.

And they're trying to sound like an old radio announcer, and it just doesn't work anymore.

The voice, the natural voices, like the ones, the ones like I employ, where I stutter and stammer and I can't pronounce things correctly and I can't read it.

It's just

an amateur hour sound that really has the current modern appeal.

And now we go to Mike Baker talking about the DIA leak on the right report.

A low confidence assessment.

No, he's not on the right report.

No, whatever.

But I'm right.

Analysts don't have enough verified high-quality information to reach a solid conclusion.

It's essentially educated guesswork.

The evidence may be thin, contradictory, or based on sources that aren't fully vetted.

It doesn't mean that the report is necessarily wrong, but it does mean that it's speculative.

Analysts are essentially saying, look, this is one possible interpretation, but we're not betting all the marbles on it.

So when a report like that gets leaked, while still being categorized as low confidence, well, it's a major red flag.

It's not supposed to be treated as fact.

It's supposed to be kept in-house while the full picture develops.

Second point, the timing and framing of this leak raises serious questions about motive.

This wasn't a full review.

It was a preliminary snapshot, likely updated daily as new intelligence comes in.

Yet someone chose to leak it just days after the strikes, and they did so in a way that casts doubt on the mission's success.

That suggests someone wanted to get ahead of the official narrative, maybe to discredit the administration, maybe to apply political pressure, or maybe for whatever reason, to create confusion.

And for whatever that reason may be, selectively leaking a speculative early stage report is a classic move in the world of information warfare.

The ultimate truth on this matter is that we won't know the full extent of the damage or the status of Iran's nuclear program for weeks, maybe even months.

Until inspectors can get back on the ground, and frankly, that's always provided a limited view anyway.

And until more intelligence is gathered from credible human sources with access, well, everything else is just guesswork.

So here's what bugs me about this: it doesn't matter the fact that he's reading it.

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

The mission was sending us to the message.

Oh, no, you're missing it.

Don't go there.

This is not what we're talking about.

I understand.

Then the second thing.

Yeah, but you can.

No, you bring that up after I bring up the other stuff.

And the second thing, I think it was a big mistake to have hegseth

who's lost his marbles

heg seth is really it this is the most disappointing guy because he's a professional broadcaster why don't you bring out some dude with a lot of fruit salad you know it's like well you know we are uh

i'm a i'm a force force

when kane came out he yeah but they pushed him aside Heg Seth mugged the stage.

Heg Seth was the problem.

He's the lightning rod.

No, they should have brought Carrilla out.

Anybody but Heg Seth.

Well, it was a mistake.

Okay, that's a nice aside.

But let's go back to the point here.

Okay, all right.

We got these two spooks doing podcasts.

Hey,

what about us?

Aren't we two spooks doing a podcast?

We're not spooks.

That's the problem.

That's the problem.

We're just independents.

It's not a problem, believe me.

So we have, so Wright

has,

he's better.

And you'll see, and I think he's read in, and I think

he's actually still on the payroll because in the second clip, I got two clips from him discussing this DIA thing.

On the second clip, you tell me he's not working for somebody when he comes up with what he says.

But let's listen to his intro.

Now, you're going to, if you didn't like Mike Baker's presentation,

you're going to hate this guy because he's over the top with his phony baloney announcer voice and and his in his ridiculous uh modulation

over the you know just crazy modulation uh but his

his analysis of the dia leak is far superior axios news and the washington free beacon report that the intel assessment from the defense intelligence agency that of course suggested that the strikes on iran fell short well that assessment was actually based on bad intel and bad judgment here's what we know apparently dia

Analysts use some early satellite images for part of their assessment, but mostly something called signals intelligence or SIGINT.

In this case, they used captured phone calls from Iranian nuclear and military personnel who were calling back into headquarters elements to provide situation reports or sit reps.

Well, that was a problem for a couple of reasons.

First, These Iranians knew or suspected that their phones were being tapped.

So they were feeding false information into their phone calls, hoping that the West would pick it up and think it was real.

And allegedly, that is what happened.

Second, other personnel in Iran were relaying good news only back to their regime headquarters because they didn't want to be candid about how bad things were really out there in the field back to their senior leaders.

And that is the other stream of intel used by the DIA analysts, just inaccurate.

So when the subsequent DIA report was leaked, Israeli officials were working on their own assessment and they saw it and they were totally befuddled.

Their sources on the ground in Iran knew that Operation Midnight Hammer was a great success.

Plus, the folks at Mossad knew that some Iranian military personnel were trying to feed disinformation using their phones.

In fact, they had been for some time.

So Mossad was very careful about not consuming the bad intel or mixing it in with the good.

Oh, brother.

Spy versus spy story here.

Yeah, but this makes me think this guy's a little more in tune than Baker, who I think is just a newsreader.

So now to convince you, or at least they convince me that this guy is definitely CIA

is what he comes up with

his solution to the problem

of correcting

this disastrous report in part two.

Unfortunately, the analysts at the Defense Intel Agency were not so careful nor professional.

They wrote it up all as true, slapped on a low-confidence assessment, and off it went, uncoordinated with other U.S.

Intel partners who might have been a little bit more professional.

And that's when it leaked.

While the Israelis continue to believe that last weekend strikes have profoundly degraded Iran's nuclear program, they're still collecting intel and have yet to create their own battle damage assessment like the DIA's that was leaked.

And that is because, as one Israeli official explained to Axios News, quote, a professional battle damage assessment takes time, end quote.

Well, that is true, and that is apparently something lost on the Iran analysts at the DIA.

Pivoting to a quick analysis and opinion, here is what I would advise President Trump to do.

First, the head of the DIA, he's got to go.

He's got to be fired.

It's a Lieutenant General Jeffrey Cruz.

He might be a wonderful man, but look, the buck stops with him.

Second, the heads of the analytical components involved in this report should be fired, effective immediately.

Third, every single person who wrote, edited, or coordinated on this DIA product has got to be placed on unpaid leave, effective immediately.

The point all in is that we have got to freeze the DIA's Iran shop, at least, so that they don't do further damage to the Intel community or, more importantly, our national security.

So all that is true, but I got to tell you, there's something else.

Based on my time in the Intel community, there is something very rotten going on inside of the DIA.

This trash report did not get drafted, edited, and released by otherwise good people who were just trying to do the good thing.

No.

This report violated basic analytical tradecraft.

It's the stuff that you would learn on day one as an analyst.

They did the opposite.

They just threw that stuff out.

So that means that this report was not just some accident.

It was so bad, it was willful.

Yeah,

yeah.

Yeah.

But I liked it.

Yeah, we got too many intelligence agencies.

Oh, you kidding.

No.

Like, what, 17 agencies?

They're all fighting with each other and they all want the money, all the money.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You saw that and that thing.

You fire that guy.

I looked that guy up and he looks like a bonehead.

He's a Biden appointee.

Of course.

In fact, he's one of the few people I've seen where you look him up in the wiki page and it actually says under the picture of him, you know, they have the little rundown.

Yeah.

It says under the picture of him, I've never seen this on anybody, any generals or anything else.

It says, under the picture, it says affiliation,

Joe Biden.

Back.

What is that supposed to mean?

The Wikipedia thing, man.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Well, it's all a mess.

And I hate to say it.

I always thought DIA was better, but they suck just as bad.

They are responsible for so much bull crap.

I think we both thought DIA was better, but it's obvious they're not.

No.

No.

And I think Navy intelligence still stays away from them.

Yeah, well, that's Bannon, though.

There's your Navy intelligence.

Yeah, well, there's that.

Yeah.

But there's also Woodward, Navy intelligence.

Yeah.

By the way, I got a note from Sir Jake.

He says that

the word is that Trump has forbidden Hag Seth from drinking while he's Secretary of Defense.

And that means that everybody's grumpy because there's no booze at all at any of these.

Oh, that's interesting.

That could be why he's on edge.

Yes, he's probably a guy who likes to take the edge off with a couple of belts and bourbon.

A little bourbon there.

I could see him

with a

bourbon on the rocks.

It would be what it would be on the tumbler.

In the tumbler.

And now he can't drink because

he'll follow orders.

He won't drink.

And now he's grumpy.

So that's where that comes from going after poor Jennifer,

my

analyst on Fox, Jennifer Wetzel.

Now, we have to always take into account

that

from the Iranians slash Persians who we know, the boots on the ground we get, that there is always

a lot of

conviction in Iran that

Iran and America work together and create nice theater for different reasons under different presidents.

And Iran is not like one big Muslim country.

I mean,

they're an amalgam of all kinds of people.

But anyway, here's

a number of ethnic groups within the country.

For sure.

Here's Heg Seth doubling down as now the Khomeini has come out and said, well,

you know, something.

How destructive were the U.S.

airstrikes on Iran?

Did they completely destroy the facilities and obliterate Iran's nuclear capabilities as the Trump administration continues to claim?

Or did they only set it back a few months as a leaked report from the intelligence arm of the Pentagon asserts?

When asked about whether any of the nuclear material was moved before the strikes, the U.S.

Secretary of Defense lashed out.

There's been a lot of discussion about what happened and what didn't happen.

Step back for a second.

Because of decisive military action, President Trump created the conditions to end the war, decimating, choose your word, whoops, decimating, whoops, whoops, obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Adding to the confusion, the director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, now says the strikes did destroy key sites, but stopped short of declaring that Iran's nuclear program was wiped out.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times is reporting that preliminary intelligence assessments provided to the European government indicate that Iran's stockpile of uranium was not concentrated at Fordo at the time of last week's attack, but had already been moved to other locations.

This comes as Tehran acknowledged its facilities sustained significant damage.

However, in his first remarks since Iran's ceasefire with Israel, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that the United States had gained nothing.

They attacked our nuclear facilities, which would, of course, merit criminal prosecution in international courts, but they didn't achieve anything significant.

The U.S.

President exaggerated events in an unusual way, and it turned out he needed this exaggeration.

Everyone who heard these words understood there's another truth behind it.

They could not achieve the objective they set for themselves.

The only way to know for sure is with on-site inspection, but Tehran has just passed a law and in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Global Nuclear Watchdog says it's yet to receive any official notification on the matter.

By the way,

Rob, the Constitutional Lawyer, did what I asked him to do.

He gave us a

353-word report summary on

if President Trump committed a war crime and also added to that a short rundown on the authorized use of military force.

And you have to know, Rob was a JAG.

So he comes from the business.

And no, of course not.

Of course it was not a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

But that's in the show notes under Iran, if you want to go take a look at that.

Even 353 words is a little bit too long to read on the show.

I like the fact that Komani has become slightly a Baghdad Bob.

Yeah.

Yeah, a little bit.

What's always jarring to me is he has that picture of himself in the background.

No, that's no, that's the original guy.

Oh, that's the OG guy.

I'm like, wow, he looked a lot better in the picture.

Yeah, no, that's the

guy.

Oh, that's the OG guy.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well,

I'd say we can go back to business and we can go back.

And what are we fighting with Canada now?

I think we're fighting with Canada.

Yes.

Well, I don't know what that's about.

That's some sort of

strange distraction.

Yeah, plague, plague, because there's no explanation for it.

Carney never came out and said why he's doing it.

Oh, no, I have him on.

Oh, you have?

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

You'll be surprised.

Canada's digital services tax on foreign tech giants has sparked a fierce U.S.

backlash, with Donald Trump deciding to halt all trade talks with Ottawa.

In a post on Truth Social, the US President called Canada's decision a direct and blatant attack on the US, accusing it of copying the European country's actions and warning of a new tariff response.

Based on this egregious tax, we are hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada, effective immediately.

We will let Canada know the tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period.

I'm always so disappointed they don't read the thank you for your attention to this matter line of the tweet, but okay.

Canada's digital services tax, which is set to take effect on Monday, is a new levy expected to cost the largest American tech giants billions of dollars.

Companies like Amazon, Google, Buber, and Airbnb offering digital services and earning over $20 million in revenue from Canadian sources will be taxed 3% on the money they make from Canadian users and customers.

The decision comes as Canada and the U.S.

were deep in negotiations to ease Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, which within months had resulted in major economic dislocations, job losses and a drop in southbound exports.

But the two leaders who met at the G7 in Alberta last week agreed to solve the trade dispute within 30 days.

The Canadian Prime Minister spoke to reporters, assuring that despite Trump's recent decision, Canada would not back down.

We'll continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interests of Canadians.

It's negotiation.

That's all that it is.

Carney thinks he can play the Trump game.

Okay.

That'll be fun to watch.

Okay, that's exactly what it is.

Yeah.

He's like, oh, yeah.

Yeah, he thinks, well, that's what Trump does.

He pulls this stunt.

I'll do this again.

I can negotiate.

So at least he's trying.

I'll give him that.

You know, it's like, oh, yeah, that's a boon negotiating.

You know, this is what you do in negotiation.

Queen Ursula, nah,

she's way, way outside of her lane.

I briefed leaders on the current state of play in our trade talks with the United States.

President Trump and I had a good discussion at the G7 summit in Canada.

Back then, we agreed to speed up the work with a clear goal, an agreement before the 9th of July.

Today, we received the latest US document for further negotiations.

We are assessing it as we speak right now.

So, our message today is clear.

We are ready for a deal.

At the same time, we are preparing for the possibility that no satisfactory agreement is reached.

This is why we consulted on a rebalancing list,

and we will defend the European interests as needed.

In short, all options remain on the table.

She is a technocrat.

This is not going to work.

All options remain on the table.

No, you got to do something like Carney did.

You know,

be a douche.

That's not how it's not going to work.

She's no good.

No, she's no good.

Meanwhile, it's like the Supreme Court of the United States just woke up.

and went, oh, you know,

we should probably look at some of that stuff.

Yeah,

maybe

nationwide injunctions aren't really something that should happen.

I think this is amazing.

Well, Republicans and Democrats have both complained about,

but

they would have continued to do this

had they not overdone it.

Yes, yes, exactly.

Well,

here's the report.

This is such a big day.

The Supreme Court ruled federal district courts issuing nationwide injunctions likely exceeded the authority granted to them by Congress.

The issue was brought to the court in the case over President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship and challenged the ability of one court to put a country-wide hold on an executive order.

It gives uh gives power back to people that should have it, including Congress, including the presidency.

94 districts and 35 out of the 40 opinions with nationwide injunctions came from five liberal districts in this country.

No longer.

California is one of those five districts referenced.

And during the Trump administration news conference, California Attorney General Rob Bonta joined attorneys general from other states to call for a nationwide injunction.

I'm hopeful that the court will see that a patchwork of state injunctions where birthright citizenship stands for some states but not others would inevitably create administrative chaos, sparking widespread confusion and spurring questions we don't have the answers to.

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued this statement saying in part, while the executive order is still temporarily blocked from going into effect, the decision is deeply disappointing.

Loyola law professor Jessica Levinson predicts how this plays out in the short term.

The Trump administration is going to go back to federal district judges that issued these nationwide injunctions and say, you don't have the power to do this.

You need to provide more limited relief.

I think at the same time, those who have challenged the president's executive orders will very quickly try to refashion their suits so that they are asking instead for something like relief under a class action status instead.

Yeah.

Yeah.

More law affair.

Class actions are

probably they're going to use that as the next thing, but those are harder to do.

I have John Yoo.

Oh, good old John Yu, who I think summarizes better than anybody else and

for good reason.

Here he is with, he's on Fox talking about the Supreme Court action today.

I have two clips.

Let's start with nationwide injunctions by these district judges.

Where are we on that after this ruling?

They're dead.

100% dead.

The Supreme Court has said now definitively, district judges, of which there are about 700 around the country and every major city, they can decide the cases before them.

They can give remedies like injunctions to the parties in the courtroom.

But what they can't do is impose it against the government throughout the entire country at once.

Really, that's the Supreme Court's job.

And so, what the court has said is, yes, it's going to be possible now for the birthright citizenship order to be struck down in Boston, but still upheld in Texas.

That it might still be possible for people to get passports in Boston who might not get them in Texas.

But that's the job of the Supreme Court to resolve that conflict.

It's not the job of any individual district trial judge to do.

So, this is a really big win for the presidency, not just Donald Trump, but the presidency.

Because what the court has also respected here is that the president is elected by the American people to carry out an agenda, and it's important and right for him to be able to pursue that throughout the country at once.

And you're so right that this has been, you know,

presidents from both parties have always complained about this.

And President Trump finally did something about it.

I think that's pretty cool for Murphy.

Well, they had to because they were abusing it with him.

Yeah, well.

And that's what brought it to a head.

This could have gone on forever if these guys hadn't gotten carried away.

We had a good thing going, guys.

What do you think about it?

They had a good thing going until they abused it.

Now, the thing about this is they also went after Judge Jackson.

Oh, everyone hates her now.

They all hate her because she's dumb.

She's dumb, and they're really going after her in every way.

There's a there's a I didn't clip it because it's five minutes long, but it's five minutes of her saying, I don't understand.

Yeah, we all saw the supercut every case in the for the last one year.

And she, I don't understand this.

I don't know, she sounds makes her sound stupid.

Uh, but she is called out on this by uh you

no, not by you, but it's it you is presented with uh with uh one of the comments that she made, and

these two guys,

there's robbers

on Fox, they laugh about it.

It's a pretty funny little bit, but

I think that

the fact that the court in the decision called out Jackson, and then everyone signed off on it, this was a rebuke.

And people have to realize that's what it was.

She was not following the principles of the way the court's supposed to act.

And

she was freelancing.

And I had got a letter from somebody.

You guys are mean about this.

It's because.

Wait, you got one of those?

I can't believe someone spelled your name right.

That's amazing.

It's like she went off the rails and started talking about it.

I looked at

her opinion, which was separate.

And

she was, you know,

talking about this and that.

She was philosophic.

She was being philosophical to an extreme, and it wasn't really following the way they want things done.

And so they rebuked her.

And I thought this is a funny clip.

Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, and I thought that this clause from it was really interesting.

She wrote, We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.

We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.

Smack.

Oh boy, I'm glad I'm not there right now.

I'm sure they're going to be great friends afterwards, especially when they need each other for the fifth vote on one of their cases.

But, you know, Justice Jackson's dissent, I have to say, I thought was a little over the top.

She's basically saying this is the collapse of the rule of law.

You're going to have irresponsible presidents defying the rule of law, doing what they want, and the courts, no one's going to stop them.

I don't think that's quite right.

This is, in the long long run as a legal issue not that important.

It's important as a political issue for the effect it has on the government, its ability to pursue law, but this is actually the judiciary restraining itself, saying we're only going to apply our powers to the cases before us.

We're not here as the judiciary to run the whole government.

And so who benefits from that?

Presidents do.

But presidents are democratically accountable and electable.

The American people who are watching the show, listening to you, John, they should not think that the rule of law is collapsing all around them.

It's stopping happening.

Basically, things are going to function normally.

This is just really a narrow legal issue about the power of individual trial judges.

The Supreme Court's always there, and they're going to decide these questions in the end.

Dear,

yeah, I thought that was a good summation.

Yeah, it was good.

But here's a: I have a little update from the troll room just to give you an idea of what I get.

Ready?

Do you want to

always?

Do you want a voice?

Do you want a voice?

Or should I just read it straight?

It's never that funny when I read it straight.

Yeah, you might as well do the voice.

Smoke and cheese is my name.

Smoke and cheese.

Adam's love of Trump.

He's going to backfire on him.

I bluff how they think I love Trump.

I love Trump.

Trump is waging war for the Zios while cutting taxes for the billionaire class.

And then printing money to pay for it and then taxing everyone else by inserting tariffs and stealing from Social Security and Medicare while creating legal mechanisms to jail and deport U.S.

citizens.

Wow.

Dude.

No U.S.

citizens have been jailed and deported.

He's in the wrong troll room, man.

Yeah, he's got.

Go over to Blue Sky, dude.

You really do.

That probably is the dude from Blue Sky.

I have one problem.

I go to Blue Sky.

I'm going to mention

something that he said, that guy, is that I think Mom Davi,

this New York guy, I think it's possible.

The more I've been looking at this character, he has a bunch of interesting opinions that I think, and I think people are misjudging him.

They keep calling him a socialist, a socialist, and he calls himself a Democrat socialist, and he's got socialist, communist ideas.

But he's not a socialist.

He is a populist.

He is the Democrat version of Trump.

Oh, but this is what they wanted.

This is what's going on.

They need to get it.

Yes.

Now, this is what they wanted.

I agree with that for sure because that's what they keep talking about.

So they got this guy.

If he, and I think he will get in, because they're going to, I know what they're going to do with Eric Adams.

They're going to throw the, they're going to say, oh, he's cooperating with ICE.

He's cooperating with Trump.

We hate Trump.

And they hate Trump in New York.

So this guy can get in.

And if he doesn't completely screw the pooch in New York, in other words, he manages to

do a balancing act and become a reasonably not a disaster

mayor.

That approach of his could become super popular.

Interesting.

Yeah.

So this is all over the top, but he may actually be much more moderate and maybe

the buses will be free.

And the buses might be free.

And he has got this one thing in this craw that only comes up once in a while, but if you read into it enough, he doesn't think any billionaire should exist in the country.

That is an extremely populist idea that could,

if I was one of those rich Democrats, you know, that are most billionaires are Democrats people.

Yeah, I'd be like, yeah, great.

You better start finding ways to hide your money.

It's just so beautiful because, and, and he made, yeah, that's a very good point.

That's a very good point.

That could be the populist, the Democrat Party's version of a populist who then dials it way back.

But I don't know.

I mean, to me, this is everything that the Democrat Party, every talking point is this guy.

Yeah.

Every talking point.

And then they got this guy.

And then, you know, Tina and I were at some Mexican place having lunch yesterday.

And

I love the Mexican restaurants.

They got a million TV screens all on Fox.

The TV screens, none of them are at the same height.

There's something about Mexican culture i just i notice it all the time straight there's nothing is straight there's always a little i mean it's a little crooked ever noticed that well that's an interesting observation when you go to mexico which i used to do a lot when i was younger uh you know they'd have all these

i always notice that these half-built houses all the way down to ensonada all the way to the tip yeah there's just these half-built houses and i asked somebody some mexican guy oh yeah he says yeah you want it that way you want your half-built house because they don't start taxing it till it's done.

So you just, so everything is like, you know, got a, a kind of a funny quality.

So it's, and you're right.

Yes.

I noticed it's not, they're not into like the long, straight line.

No, they don't, it's not their culture, which is fine.

But I just love seeing three TV screens, big screens on the wall and none of them at the same height.

I'm like, but this, I don't get it.

Anyway, and you saw all the Democrats going, oh, what are we going to do?

And the rich Democrats of New York, oh, what are we going to do?

There's the guy who owns the supermarkets.

He's on Fox business.

I'm closing down my supermarkets.

I'm not going to let the government run my supermarkets.

Okay, bro, sure.

So it's just a fun fight.

Then, you know, Fredericksburg, oh, I'm never going to New York again.

New York is lost.

It's lost.

Like, chill.

New York's been lost for a while.

Although my neighbors, Claudia, she's a hospitalist.

You know, she takes care of all, she's really in charge of the patient.

She's kind of the patient advocate.

And she was out walking her two little dogs.

These things are like barking little things.

And she's from the Dominican Republic.

And she's with her boyfriend.

He's ex-military and her brother and a million kids.

So we're all walking the dogs on the streets.

Like, we are in New York.

And then all of a sudden we saw the bombs dropping.

And we were like,

what are we going to do?

And they went into the hotel room and just stayed there.

And like, we were so worried about everything.

I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what happens to people.

They get so freaked out because they're just watching Fox News

or MSNBC.

It doesn't really matter what you're watching.

I'm glad we got back to Texas.

Called TV.

Yes, called TV.

Exactly.

So then the Supreme Court made a very interesting ruling, which I,

in principle, I agree with the ruling.

I don't think it curtails the free speech of adults.

But more importantly, I think it moves closer towards what I have always said is going to happen, and that will be the end of anonymity on the internet.

The other big news here today, the United States Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law that requires pornographic websites to conduct age verification of its users.

This ruling is one of the final decisions of the term, handed down by the nation's highest court earlier today.

With that, let's bring in Ion Politics reporter Jack Fink, talk about it a little bit, especially about the impact of this decision today and what else does this legislation do?

Well, Doug, this two-year-old Texas law has been held up in the courts, but now, because the U.S.

Supreme Court has backed the state of Texas, it can go into effect.

As you said, pornographic websites will now have to have some form of age verification for its users or customers.

To be considered pornographic, the sites have to have more than a third of their content as sexual in nature.

The law allows the Texas Attorney General's Office to enforce this ruling, investigate any potential violations and complaints, and assess fines as well.

The author of this bill that became law, Republican State Representative Matt Shaheen of Prosper, called it a triumph.

This was a clear victory for Texas children.

It was pornographic websites against our Texas families, and the Supreme Court sided with our Texas families.

So it's a great day for Texas in protecting our children from this smut.

In a statement opposing the ruling, Allison Bowden, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, said, quote, the government should not have the right to demand that we sacrifice our privacy and security to use the internet.

This law has failed to keep minors away from sexual content, yet continues to have a massive chilling effect on adults.

This, of course, is completely ridiculous that somehow people won't be able to get around a Texas block or whatever with a VPN, like kids are stupid.

But it's really about identification for your, it'll be about, you want to get on the internet you've gonna have to ID yourself everywhere you go

and I find the one-third

rule to be very interesting

no that's so stupid I mean the first thing you do say I had this I want to run a porn site so I want to have

I have to beat this one-third rule so I have a porn site I load it up with terabytes full of PDF files that are just random about about the oceanography yeah and then if you click on this one link, you get my one 20% of the rest of it is porn.

No, and the oceanography stuff, 80%,

it's not going to be using bandwidth or anything because nobody's going to go to that stuff.

No.

So the point, this is dumb.

But it's not about that.

And by the way.

No, I know.

You have this thesis.

I have to say you have kept this thesis alive in your

life forever.

I haven't.

It's going to happen.

It's going to happen.

It might, but it's not happening anytime soon.

Go, please.

Oh, ye of little faith.

It's not happening anytime soon.

I will say, and this is not the fix for it,

but porn addiction is a real thing.

There are so many young men and women completely, completely addicted to porn.

Yeah, we've talked about this before.

And it's a real problem.

And it ruins everything.

Ruins relationships.

They get addicted to gambling.

They get addicted to pornography.

I'm addicted to smoking.

Yes, absolutely.

Yeah, people have a problem with

problems.

Yeah, people are.

Mao, I could only get a 29-second report of this.

It just kind of flew by.

Couldn't even get the first Washington on there.

Post-journalist is facing some serious charges tonight.

48-year-old Thomas LeGreau was arrested at his D.C.

home Thursday.

He's accused of possessing child pornography.

FBI agents say they found explicit videos on his laptop and and what looked like a broken hard drive in his basement.

LeGro's name also came up in an investigation involving online payments for illegal content.

He is now on leave from the post where he oversaw video content.

His detention hearing is set for Monday.

Yeah, they kind of missed the fact that he won a Pulitzer Prize.

That's great.

That's a great.

I would like to hear more about that.

But before we leave this topic about what happened with the Supreme Court.

Yeah, there's more from the Supreme Court.

We have to visit Brooks and K-part.

Can I do one more Supreme Court ruling before we get to the next step?

No, yes, please, because the Brooks and K-part will top it all.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

Well, this is just factual.

And,

you know,

it's so interesting that, you know, of course, all the ads like, oh, the Republicans, the big, beautiful bill, which has some stuff on, too.

We can do it later.

You know, they're going to cut Medicare, Medicaid.

You're going to die.

You won't have anything.

Well, this is one of the ways they're cutting.

Tessa, the state first pulled Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood in 2018 because it provided abortion.

South Carolina.

This new ruling, states can now cut off Medicaid dollars to the provider, even for health care unrelated to ending a pregnancy.

Justice Jackson, in her dissent, this is the lady from Planned Parenthood, said, if individuals don't have rights

to sue to protect their own rights, then civil rights means nothing.

And we would agree with that.

In response to the Supreme Court decision, Governor Henry McMaster sharing a statement on X saying, quote, seven years ago, we took a stand to protect the sanctity of life and defend South Carolina's authority and values.

And today, we are finally victorious, end quote.

Vicki Ringer with Planned Parenthood South Atlantic says only 3.5% of South Carolina patients are on Medicaid, and the ruling won't impact services.

The good news for patients in South Carolina is that nothing will change for them.

We will continue to treat South Carolina patients who use Medicaid as their insurance plan.

We just won't bill them for it or bill Medicaid.

They can continue to get their care for as long as we can cover it

without charge.

This one ruling and this one political decision from the governor or the legislature will not force us to close our doors.

To clear up misconceptions, Ringer clarifies that according to federal law, Medicaid can only pay for an abortion in the case of rape, incest, or to preserve the mother's life.

You know,

the thing I don't...

What is she bitching about if they're going to do it?

They're going to cover it.

Well, under those cases.

Well, fine.

This is about time some charity showed up in the formula here instead of everything coming out of the taxpayer's pocket when i was growing up when i was a kid

you know it was like don't be daft don't be silly put a snakeskin on your willie

how when did we lose the idea of being careful what well the funny thing is planned parenthood started yes

as as well they started as a eugenesis group no they didn't yes they did that evolved that evolved i've looked into that.

I've looked into it too.

I disagree with it.

They started off as a promoter of condoms because nobody, they were illegal.

You're telling me Margaret Sanger started as a condom advocate?

No.

That was 1930.

Well, we can disagree on that, and I will, but I'm not agreeing to disagree.

There were over a million.

I don't agree to disagree.

There were over a million abortions in the U.S.

in 2024.

A million.

There's too many.

There's too many abortions.

It's like, that was the number one thing.

When you were 15, your dad would say, here, here, kid, here's a rubber.

It's like, okay.

You know, what happened?

What happened there?

Well, you don't need it when you have an abortion

thing in Russia.

It's cheaper, especially if somebody else is paying for it.

John Cedavork, the great defender of Margaret Sanger.

I will not defend Margaret Sanger.

I disagree with that.

So let's play Brooks and K-part.

And I have three clips.

I have the opener on PBS because they talk about the Supreme Court stuff a little bit.

And then I have Brooks going on about porn in schools.

Ah, yes.

And then I have Brooks.

The last one is Brooks on Any Topic.

Okay.

Opener?

Start with Open.

Yeah, Opener.

Let's turn now to the analysis of Brooks and K-Part.

That is New York Times columnist columnist David Brooks and Jonathan K.

Part, associate editor for the Washington Post.

And we should say that you are both joining us tonight from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado.

Your beautiful backgrounds make me wish I was there with you guys.

It's great to see you, but let's jump right in to those Supreme Court decisions today.

Big wins for the president: one on allowing religious parents to opt their kids out of LGBTQ learning and storybooks in school.

The other severely limiting lower courts' ability to issue nationwide injunctions.

We heard President Trump very happily thank the justices who ruled in his favor earlier today.

Take a listen.

I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas.

Great people.

They are now.

Jonathan, kick us off here.

What's your reaction to those rulings?

What do you take away from that?

Well, on the injunction ruling, you know, I reached out to a former senior official in a Democratic administration just to get their take on it.

And the response back was mixed bag.

And it's mixed bag because on the one hand, you know, Democratic presidents and Republican presidents never liked it when a lower court judge reached in and, you know, stopped them from doing something with a nationwide injunction.

I'm thinking particularly of President Biden and say student loan, student loan debt forgiveness.

Hold on.

What?

It was the Supreme Court that put the k-bosh on Biden who told him to pound sand.

So, okay, we got that wrong.

Yeah.

So let's listen.

You hate these guys so much.

You are so.

Well, you have your hate listens.

Yeah, I do.

I do.

I got to bring them back.

So I have, now we're going to listen to Kay part on the porn in schools.

When it comes to the LGBT

school ruling, you know, for that to come out the day after the 10th anniversary of the Obergefell ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage, made it a constitutional right, is really, you know, it's painful.

It's also speaks to the court's willingness to, you know, be a party to erasing a whole community.

Oh, goodness.

Let me just give you in short, because we have this going on here in Fredericksburg, this with this, with the public school here.

And,

you know, it's become every single school board meeting.

And by the way, I'm always saying, why are you wasting your time?

Run for school board.

Get on the school board.

And you know what?

If I lived in Fredericksburg, we live in unincorporated Fredericksburg, five minutes from Main Street for some reason, but I would run for school board.

No problem.

The problem is

every single one of those people on the school board has been threatened by the ACLU that they will be sued personally.

That's what this is about.

It's the ACLU.

They're the problem.

Those books, they're stupid.

They really are.

They're the porn books that defend the books by saying you're erasing a a community.

These books are.

It's bullcrap.

This is

bullcrap.

Total bullcrap.

Well, and here's what,

and now I have a kind of a universal clip I can play anytime.

This turns out to be the answer.

This is Brooks on anything.

I agree with Jonathan.

I agree with Jonathan.

I agree with Jonathan.

I agree with Jonathan.

I know.

Why don't you tell us what the format of the show is supposed to be, John?

Well, typical of these shows, you're supposed to get perspective from two opposing viewpoints.

That's the idea.

That's what helps the audience take two opposing viewpoints of the same topic.

And one of them says this and one of them says that.

And you, as the, as the viewer, say, well, I can see what he means.

I can see this.

I can see that.

So you can understand it, as opposed to two guys that vehemently, vehemently agree with each other.

All the time.

Who is supposed to be the Republican?

That's

supposed to be the Republican, but he's never been a Republican.

He's always been

not a lefty, kind of a middle-of-the-road Democrat.

And K-Part's just a gay liberal.

All right, let's go to the big, beautiful.

By the way, you're so right.

I'm looking at the quad screen right now, and it said, Eric Adams worked with ICE.

They were so right.

Nailed it.

There it is.

Eric Adams worked with ICE.

He's no good.

We go to the big, beautiful bill,

which

coincidentally Elon Musk came out against again today, that it would set us back,

be horrible.

I think Trump is putting everything on this because he wants those tax cuts.

And I'm sure there's tons of nonsense in there.

Oh, there must be a ton.

Tons of nonsense.

Well, it's on the Senate floor.

A rare Saturday session in the Senate.

We have before us today a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver legislation to create a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America.

Senate Republicans are trying to pull a fast one on the American people.

Lawmakers work through their holiday recess, racing to meet a July 4th deadline to advance President Trump's so-called big beautiful bill.

The president stayed in town, too, golfing with senators, urging them to tee it up.

Overnight, Senate Republicans released the 900-plus page bill, which includes more funding for the president's top priorities, including border security, defense, and an extension of his 2017 tax cut.

But it comes with deep spending cuts to food assistance and Medicaid, including a projected $930 billion reduction, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

What they're trying to do,

she doesn't mention that's over 10 years, but that's kind of interesting how they just throw that in there.

According to the Congressional Budget Office.

What they're trying to do to cut back on these health care programs and health insurance for 16 million Americans to pay for tax breaks for wealthy people.

Even some Republicans have threatened to oppose the package, citing concerns about the potential impact to rural hospitals.

But others say it's time to act.

Are we ready to put our pens down and move forward?

You know, the Medicare cuts are the ones that get me.

I mean,

I have not read all 900 pages yet.

I typically read whatever is passed when it's really passed, when we have one big, beautiful, solid bill, and then we'll go through it and we'll find all the funding for UFO projects and everything else.

There's always some cool stuff hidden in there.

And I enjoy it.

But these cuts are really for people who are just sucking off the system.

You know, it's like, no.

And then illegals

who are here and getting health care.

No, no.

This is exactly what the president ran on.

It sucks.

We're nice people in America.

We don't really

want to hurt anybody.

Well, you do.

You have to.

There's your eggs analogy.

But I may not have to read it because I guess Chuck Schumer is going to read it for me.

To address some of those GOP concerns, the bill now includes a $25 billion rural hospital fund.

It also rolls back clean energy tax credits from the Biden era, angering Democrats.

In fact, they hope to slow this vote down by demanding that the entire bill be read on the Senate floor, which could take up to 15 hours.

Lovely.

I love that.

Especially if you get those one.

Replace paragraph 5, U.S.

Law 17-329er with

any time instead of all time.

Yeah, there's lots of that.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

It'll be fun.

I'm sure there's all kinds of good stuff in there.

Of course, the no tax on tips was a big promise from the president.

Even my

stepdaughter in New York, she's like, oh, I like this Trump because she works at a bar.

And, you know, typically people in the service industry get paid very low wages.

What is it, like $3 an hour?

I don't know.

Yeah, I think in New York it's between $2 and $4 an hour.

And tips is where they make make their money.

And so here's Lawrence O'Donnell explaining what it's really about.

Donald Trump told a story today about how he came up with the idea that he's very proud of, of no tax on tips.

And remember, most American workers do not receive tips.

So this is not a tax break for them.

It is a tax break for people who Donald Trump likes better than the people who don't receive tips.

How does that work?

The logic is this.

I don't understand the logic.

It gets better.

Donald Trump said, it happened in Las Vegas when someone he called a, quote, young, beautiful waitress

told him that she didn't want to pay taxes on her tips.

She looked at me, she said, sir, there should be no tax on tips.

I said, say it again.

There should be no tax on tips.

I said, that's the coolest coolest thing I've ever heard.

I walked outside.

The press was there, as always, waiting for something bad to happen, hundreds of them.

I said, ladies and gentlemen, please announce tonight there will be no tax on tips.

There are many reasons why no Secretary of the Treasury has ever advised a president to have no tax on tips.

You just heard the stupidest story ever told by a president about tax policy.

So, Donald Trump thinks some income should be protected from taxation and some shouldn't.

So, a Las Vegas lap dancer's income

should be tax-free, but a Las Vegas public school teacher must pay full taxes on all income.

Straight from Resida, here she is, Raven.

Give it up.

I love how he did that.

That was good.

That was good, Larry.

Wow.

Hey, guy.

Does that guy still have a job?

Yes.

And I'm sure he makes more than we do.

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

Tons more.

Tons more.

All right.

Well.

I have a little side clip, a little clip just I said it was entertaining.

Yeah, sure.

Your buddy.

Oh, here we go.

Is that Scott Galloway?

No,

you know, I have trouble clipping that guy.

He is so slow talking.

Well, he talks to the sounds like this.

And he talks through a

slate.

He's like, through a slit.

And

he is,

it's hard to watch him.

He always likes to be on video, and he's just so

mug.

Someone convinced them that they should do a video.

You know, I was like, oh, without video, it's really nothing.

You really have to have video.

Your podcast is no good without video.

Let me see how many people watch that stupid podcast on YouTube.

Although, stupid.

I love the podcast, I have to say.

Yes.

Yeah, you love hate it.

So it's great.

It's a great podcast.

So, Kennedy.

Oh, that's my butt.

Who almost killed you?

I should tell that story to you.

She broke my butt.

Should I tell this?

I should probably tell the story.

Yeah, you might as well refrain the story because we have not heard it for probably five years.

MTV Beach House, first year.

Great idea.

We all go out to

quog

which is you got the hamptons and then you got all the poor people they live in quog is beyond the hamptons big house on the beach it was an experiment worked out really well it later became a reality show when everybody realized that all that happened in mtv beach house was just a lot of drinking and screwing around So all the VJs would be out there for the summer.

It was a real pain in the butt.

You'd drive three and a half hours from the city to get there.

And, you know, so we did all the typical beach house things.

And then we're on wave runners, these days known as jet skis, which they're not, they're wave runners.

And so I'm doing my segment.

I'm, you know, but I'm sitting on the wave runner and the camera guy's on the other wave runner.

And he's, you know, I'm doing my segment.

And all of a sudden, Kennedy rams into me with her wave runner, thinking she was funny.

And so I go flying off the wave runner and hit my left buttock right on the edge of the wave runner.

And to this day, there's still a crease in my butt.

And it was black and blue for months.

And she never really said sorry, which I've always wanted to talk to her about.

And I almost got on her podcast, but then they canceled on me.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yeah.

Well, her podcast isn't that good.

I, of course, have forgiven her since then, but it'd be fun to talk about it.

Well, she's quite lively on Gutfeld.

And

I got butt-slammed.

That's right, Trolls.

I literally got butt-slammed by Kennedy.

There you go.

So she was on Stelter or said Stelter on her podcast.

No, no, she has an anecdote that I thought was amusing.

It's more of a real news story.

If you get that clip up real quick, because this is a real news story, it's a little gossip.

And now that is where we're good.

And I need to give Brian Stelter any credit for anything because he really is a giant human potato who's obsessed with Emily Campano in a really, really creepy and unsettled teacher.

I did not look at this shit.

I did say spill the tea.

Like in front of his wife, he's like, Emily, I'm your favourite spin.

And I was like, get away from her.

Like, you are literally two inches and a half a glass of Chardonnay away from humping her leg.

Wow.

Well, you never get to hear these stories on your shows, Kill Mead.

Oh, I know.

Oh, brother.

Wow.

My story was better than that.

Yeah, but I didn't, you know,

it was better, actually, but it was kind of lascivious.

I like the lasciviousness of stelter

fawning all over this.

Emily Campania

referring to is

the ex-raider head cheerleader, turned lawyer, turned enthusiastic host.

You know, she's on various Fox shows.

Really cute.

And she turned beat red, kind of, even though she's very.

Oh, she was right there when the story

pointing at her.

And she's, and she said, yeah, I guess this is a true story because she didn't deny it.

Emily Campano.

Wikipedia doesn't even

have a picture of her.

What's wrong with you, Wikipedia?

Just look at images.

There's a thousand pictures of Emily Campano.

If you can find the ones when she was the head cheerleader at the Raiders, she was blonde.

Huh.

Let me see.

She's a cheerleader for the Raiders.

Yeah, head cheerleader.

Not just.

She's no, she's one of those.

Yeah, okay, I see.

Yeah.

Oh, she's one of those women

that has to be a nightmare.

No, because she's so high energy.

It's like, come on, let's go horse riding.

Let's go pedancing.

You get out of the house.

Sit up.

What are you doing sitting?

Here, grab a hula hoop.

Do something.

That's horrible.

I wouldn't mind hearing about.

You seem to have a series on pride flags, which the fact that you put a series together means something in here is good.

And I don't want it to wait until after we take a break because, you know.

All right, I can do it.

Yeah.

This is PBS has been doing.

Oh, okay.

It's still Pride Month.

It's still Pride Month.

It's the 29th, so it's still Pride Month.

Well, so there's this big controversy.

They're trying to push Pride flags all over the place.

You know, it's like, which is really skeptical.

I feel, I don't have mixed feelings about it.

I just don't think it's a good idea

to have your state flag, your

American flag, and then a pride flag.

It's a sexual thing.

Yeah.

So what are you putting that up there for?

But okay, there's a, so PBS is all behind it too.

Oh, God.

Yes, let's, let's do a promotion.

They're basically promoting using the pride flag.

Now, most of these clips are fairly short, but they're a little long, but they all have kind of a punchline, so it makes it worthwhile.

Let's start with one.

This year marks a decade since same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide, but in several Republican-led states, efforts are underway to ban pride flags from public schools and government buildings, sparking a wave of local resistance.

Deema Zane has the story.

Welcome to pride.

In Salt Lake City, a historic flag raising.

You are welcome here because in Salt Lake City, you belong.

The city adopted a new official flag called the Sago Belonging Flag, featuring LGBTQ colors underneath the city's Sago flower.

What we're doing today is about the dignity and the worth of every single person in this community.

No matter who they are, no matter who they love.

The move coming just hours before a new law took effect in Utah, banning public schools and government buildings in the state from displaying any flags that aren't officially approved.

Utah was the first state in the nation to ban pride flags from public buildings, but not the last.

Idaho and Montana have adopted similar bans in recent weeks, and at least eight other states with Republican-controlled legislatures are considering the idea.

Members who Orion Rummler covers LGBTQ issues and politics for the 19th news.

Hey, hey, how come we can't get a gig like that to cover LGBTQ issues for the news?

This is a great gig.

It's a permanent gig for sure.

And politics for the 19th news.

Republican lawmakers have framed these bans as a necessary way to make state houses

and government buildings and schools, depending on the language of the band,

neutral places.

But some cities are pushing back, like in Boise, Idaho, where a pride flag has flown for several years outside City Hall.

Yeah.

I agree.

Does the pride flag outside of City Hall and Boise mean that

the City Hall is gay?

The Pride flag is about gay, right?

Well, no, it's multiple things.

It's LGBTQ plus, disability price.

Yes, it's mostly gay.

Transgender is.

And I would say mostly trans at this point is what it represents.

Well, now it's mostly trans, but that's just a, that's, yeah.

What happened to the pink triangle?

That was kind of cool.

Well, I don't know, but these guys seem to be, they seem to be all jacked up about pride, having the pride flag.

How about

some workers' flags or a communist flag?

What is the point?

It just bothers me, but I'm just being a boomer here.

Yes.

So I can get away with it.

So let's play part of it.

Don't worry.

You can get away with it.

I'll get blamed for it.

It's all

about this.

In fact, you invited it.

Give a motion, a second, clerk.

Last month, the city council voted five to one to designate it as an official city flag,

which they say will allow them to continue to fly it and not violate the new state law.

Removing the flag now after years of flying it proudly would not be a neutral act.

Boise Mayor Lauren McLean arguing.

We know, but that's not just a flag.

We know it says who we are.

You know.

It says who we are.

That's what I've just said.

The Boise, Boise's gay.

That's what she said.

I want a Tourette's flag.

What would the Tourette's flag look like?

It'd be kind of jiggly.

Jiggly.

It has its own flagpole that just jitters the whole time.

Now it gets screwy.

We have, oh, I see.

I have, oh, this actually, I have two threes.

I think the first three is the one

we want.

All right, first three.

Just two blocks away, sits the Idaho State Capitol, where the legislature voted overwhelmingly to pass HB 96, a bill that bans, quote, governmental entities from displaying any flags other than the U.S.

flag, state and local flags, the POW flag, or those from military branches and Native tribes.

Schools may also display their own banners.

Idaho's Republican Attorney General warns Boise's mayor to take down the flag or face penalties when the state legislature comes back in session.

It's going to cost the community and the city money for violating the law, and she doesn't pay it out of her pocket.

It's going to cost the citizens of Boise, and I think that's shameful.

In neighboring Montana, sits the city of Missoula.

Earlier this month, city leaders voted to adopt the pride flag as its only official city flag.

Despite a new Montana state law that prohibits flags on state property that, quote, represent a political viewpoint, including but not limited to flags or banners regarding a political party, race, sexual orientation, gender, or political ideology.

They were a little shocked by that.

The Republican governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, called the move divisive, posting that Missoula City Council Council should be ashamed for imposing a pride flag on schools and dividing their community.

This is more than, you know, blue dots rebuking the culture war policies of their Republican-controlled legislatures.

Choosing to fly those flags as official city flags sends a message that the city wants to stand apart from the rest of the state as

a beacon of inclusivity.

A challenge that for now hangs in the air.

Yeah, I'm kind of regretting this now.

Well, you shouldn't because here comes number three

WTF.

All right, here we go.

And now we are joined by Salt Lake City Mayor Aaron Mendenhall.

Thank you so much for joining us.

I want to jump in first and ask your reaction when you heard about Utah's legislation bill banning all non-official flags at schools and governmental buildings.

Well, it didn't make a lot of sense as an urgent topic for our legislature to address, and yet they chose to do so.

And we worked really hard to figure out how we could both abide by that law and continue to represent the values of Salt Lake City.

You adopted three other flags, amending them as official city flags, allowing you to fly them.

Can you dig in a little deeper here and talk about what these flags symbolize to you and to your community?

Oh, here we go.

They symbolize the values that have been here in Salt Lake City for generations.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

They do not exclude.

These are flags of inclusion.

We've raised two of them in the month of June with the Juneteenth flag raising and pride.

And we've heard from hundreds, even thousands of community members who've said, I see myself being represented in these flags.

I feel seen and valued and wanted and understood.

And that's what these flags are about.

Oh, man.

I feel valued because of the flag and understood because there's a flag hanging hanging outside the city hall.

There's a flag that means I feel understood.

What is going on here?

What the hell is that?

You sound like the F-35 guy.

Yeah, well, here we go.

This gets worse.

Here's five.

Oh, brother.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox didn't sign the bill, but he also did not veto it, which allowed the law to go into effect.

He was asked about Salt Lake City's pride flags, and here's what he had to say.

I'm sure they feel great that they got around this dumb law and they did it with dumb flags.

And it's just the whole thing's dumb.

What do you think should be done?

Well I already said what I thought should be done.

We should raise the American flag and let's

unify it around that.

They are dumb flags and it was a dumb bill.

What's your response to the governor?

It's fine if he wants to say that about the decision that I made to bring these flags forward for approval with our city council.

That's my role as the mayor.

I take that responsibility, but I don't think it's the right way to address community members who feel validated, seen, heard, and wanted in their community because they see these flags flying.

Have you felt or have you had a sense, a bigger sense of the state seeking more control over your city's ability to function?

If there's no flag, you don't feel wanted by the city or something.

What are we talking about here?

What a wheel of this.

All right.

By the way, this mayor, this nutball mayor from Salt Lake City, and it's a Mormon state, which cracks me up, by the way.

I just find it highly amusing that this is taking place in Utah.

But especially in Salt Lake City of all places.

I don't know if you've ever been there, but it's.

Yes, I have.

I've hung out with

Mormons.

Yeah.

Well, if you go to Salt Lake City, you're going going to hang out with Mormons.

They are the ultimate OG preppers, I'll tell you that.

And so

she goes on forever.

And I just have this last piece of what she continues to yammer and yammer about inclusivity.

And oh,

you feel wanted.

You have to have the flag or else.

I think that's a pretty consistent dynamic, especially in a blue dot capital city in a red state with a super majority Republican legislature.

That's not a new experience for us, but it's something that we're constantly navigating.

My administration has a pretty good relationship with state leaders.

We talk to each other even when we disagree.

And I think we're going to be able to keep talking through this.

I don't think this is the end of what we'll see from the legislature regarding the flags, but neither is it the end of our ability to represent our values, and we'll keep finding ways to do so.

Well, there's a controversy brewing around the pride flag in Fredericksburg that I should probably mention.

Are they flying it at City Hall?

Oh, no.

No.

So

we have a coffee place on Main Street called Java Ranch.

And Java Ranch, that's kind of old school.

You know,

it's like cowboy interior.

And, you know, it's just a coffee place.

And you got the kids working there.

You know, they're in their 20s.

I play chess there on Mondays.

You know,

it's a nice place.

Wait, wait, stop.

Stop the presses.

Yeah.

Yes.

You, wait, on Mondays, which is I consider the no agenda day off.

Yes.

You go to the cowboy coffee shop,

the Java Hut, or whatever it's called.

The Java Ranch.

Java Ranch and play chess.

With Willie.

Yes.

Do you have a, is it the chess where you have the timer?

We, well, we have had competitions,

and it's Willie's first invitational.

And so, you know, Willie kind of, we started playing chess.

No one was playing chess.

Who's Willie?

Oh, Willie's a guy.

Willie's a guy I met in our church, and

he is messed up.

Willie's like,

that's Willie.

You know, you got the arms out pretty much like Trump, like Trump's impression of that journalist.

That's Willie.

Because Willie had a head-on collision when he was 19.

And, you know, is Annie good at chess?

He's very good at chess.

Interesting.

Okay.

Yeah, because I said, hey, you know, say, hey, Willie, you know, once I heard this, you know, I was like, what's wrong with him?

Is he retired?

What's going on with you?

Because I sat next to him one time.

And he explained to me, you know, he showed me a picture on his feet.

He only can use one hand.

And he showed the picture of the wreck.

I mean, the guy was next to him got killed in the accident.

Then he had a couple of strokes.

So Willie's had a tough go of it.

And I said, we should meet for coffee.

Java Ranch.

So we meet at Java Ranch, and he has a chess set with him.

And the guy turns turns out to be like a kind of a good chess player.

Okay.

All right.

That's how chess came about.

So, anyway, you asked.

Yeah, I did.

I'm sorry I did.

Yeah, you should be.

So a new place opened up called Cafe House.

K-A-F-F-E-E.

Cafe House.

Yeah.

Yeah, Cafe House.

And I immediately didn't like it.

You know, it's always.

Was it next to this place?

No, it's around the corner and it's very modern and it's very nice.

And, you know, and so.

So it's not rough and tumble like a new java house no it's douchey it's double it's bougie bougie bougie

it's a coffee house

all of a sudden everyone goes to coffee house but i won't i won't go to coffee house because i'm a java ranch guy i'm loyal like i still go to the same hair girl in austin for 15 years i'm loyal

and so the the ladies do their um their bible study there half the church is there probably another reason

a coffee house okay now here's the controversy.

Recently, some of the kids who work there, young people,

that coffee house, put a little Jesus on the counter wrapped in a pride flag.

Jesus and a pride flag.

I would consider that sacrilegious.

Yes, of course.

And now they're all trying to figure out what to do about it.

And I'm like, oh, what to do about it?

Yeah.

And I'm like, here's an idea.

Ask them to take the pride flag off.

Well, we did, and they said no.

Well, then you should no longer go there.

You should come back to Java Ramp.

They said no.

I have an idea.

Take the pride flag off.

No.

Oh.

Why don't you just remove the Jesus and the pride flag?

Yeah, that would be fine, too.

They can have a pride flag.

I don't think anyone cares if they have a pride flag in there, but the pride flag on the Jesus is a bit of a problem.

It's sacrilegious, yeah.

Yes.

And I'm like, well,

why do you keep going there then?

Don't go there.

Yeah, but we like coffee house.

Oh, okay.

They just don't like the rough and tumble nature of the Java joint.

Java ranch, man.

Oh, the trolls say, fireball the house.

Now you're talking.

Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your occurrence.

In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the cheerleaders for the Raiders.

Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.

John C.

DeMore.

Yeah, going to use Channel Carry tomorrow.

I should see boots on the ground feed there.

Subs in the water, and all the Damison mates out there.

Hold on, trolls.

By the way, I'm going to suggest that let's firebomb the house.

That's a great idea.

Hey, 2,319 trolls checking and listening to the live stream.

Well, that's good for a Sunday.

So that's the number?

2,319.

So it's about 100 up.

100 up.

100 up, baby.

200 low.

No, it's usually 22.

It's 22.

18 on Thursdays, 22.

Isn't it 22?

Yeah.

You have the post-it note somewhere.

Check it out.

Oh, hold on a second.

Oh, but see, there you go.

It's already there.

They're messing with me.

There we go.

You're back.

I said 20.

I think 22 is the norm.

Isn't 22 the norm?

No, 25 is the norm.

25 is normal.

24 lately.

Last week we had 26.

No, we're down.

We're down 300.

Trump needs to do something about that.

It's Trump's fault.

He's got to bomb somebody, man.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

Yes, the trolls are listening to us at trollroom.io.

You might be right, by the way.

Well, of course I'm right.

We had big numbers the last couple of shows because of the bombing.

Yeah.

Now people like bloodthirsty country.

Those boomers, those boomers with their Jew money.

We don't get any Jew money.

I think we got one donation from

one Jew.

We got one Jew thanking us.

One lone Jew.

One lone Jew said, hey, thanks for saying that.

We defend them to such an extreme.

We are equal opportunity offenders, believe me.

You can also listen to this program on a modern podcast app.

Go to podcast apps.

That's plural.com and choose one.

Choose any of them.

These are independent podcast apps that will delight you with the features they have.

They go far beyond any of your legacy apps.

Ooh, nasty legacy apps.

Give them a shot.

I think you'll like it.

There's all kinds of cool things you can do with them, including listen to the live stream.

And not just listen to the live stream, but within 90 seconds of us publishing the show, you'll be alerted on your phone, on your little pocket computer, telling you, oh, there's a new show.

So, and that is not just for our show, it's for hundreds of thousands of shows that utilize the pod ping

infrastructure developed by the the boys and girls at Podcasting 2.0.

So last week we did a pretty in-depth explanation of value for value.

I don't think we have to go over that again, but the bottom line is we give you everything.

Unlike people who, oh man, the ads on these podcasts.

Do you ever really listen to any podcasts at length?

Yeah, I do.

You listen to Mike Baker.

I listened to the Wright guy.

Brian Brown.

Did they not have ads?

Didn't they have ads?

Yeah.

Isn't that annoying?

Yeah.

And

the ad load,

as we say in the business, the ad load has just become outrageous.

It's like everybody.

Here's what bothers me.

These are all, I don't know what it is.

It started with maybe Leo Laporte had something to do with it.

I'm not sure.

But it all started off with

they have to be host red ads.

Oh, that's where the money is.

You get $40 CPM, i.e., $40 for every 1,000 downloads.

I think a professionally done ad, I've always felt this way, that a professionally done ad in-house by an ad agency that just sells the product and does a great job of it.

What if you had nothing but host-red ads?

That's what used to be.

Television discovered this.

In the early days of television, in the 50s, especially the 50s, they had all these like What's My Line?

Because they still show these shows now on some of these over-the-air you know, sub-channels.

And it's like, What's my line?

Brought to you by Paul Maul.

And Paul Maul is a great cigarette for blah, blah, blah.

I know, Jim, what do you have with there?

I got some Paul Maul cigarettes.

It was all host-red ads.

And then somebody decided, hey, these guys stink.

Why don't we do a real professional ad and bring in a cowboy and do some other stuff?

We can probably do a better job of selling.

And then they, then the host-red ads on TV,

even early days of Johnny Carson, they used to do them.

They all ended.

But I'll tell you why that is.

Would you like to know why that is?

I'd like to know.

Because the host red ad has more value because you know that the people who actually, so remember, the metric in podcasts is downloads, which is a scam.

Because these apps all automatically download and you're probably not listening to half of the podcast in your podcast app.

Right.

So it's a scam.

That's why,

you know, they're just regular ad pre-rolls, mid-rolls, and post-rolls.

You know, no one's listening, and you skip them.

So the idea is that when the host reads it, there's a more likelihood that people will listen to that ad because it's the host

and the recall of these ads that are host read is higher.

Now, does that say who?

Says the IAB, the interactive agency agency.

Well, the IAB needs to figure it out.

Oh, the IAB needs to figure a lot of stuff out.

So what has happened is you've got the $40 CPM ad reads, and then you have the DAI.

Or is it DIA?

Oh, D-A-I, dynamic ad insertion,

which means, you know, here in Fredericksburg, if I start up a podcast that is DAI, I get a Spanish ad because they know me so well.

You know, ocho, ocho, ocho.

Okay, great.

I don't know what you're advertising me.

So it just just doesn't work.

But some people think it works because I saw our spreadsheet for today.

And it seems like some people are like, oh, I can get these guys to read my ad.

So

we'll see about that.

Anyway, no, we don't do that.

We just thank everybody who supports us financially.

And we do that for everybody, $50 and above.

And it seems to work out okay most times.

It's an exciting lifestyle, but we chose it and we're okay.

Exciting lifestyle.

The exciting lifestyle.

It's the new international lifestyle, value for value.

Didn't you know that's the new international lifestyle?

I think we're going to have to put a

word limit on these

ads

on these

notes.

I don't care whether it's an ad or not.

Yeah.

There's two on here that are just, they're no good.

Yeah.

Well, what's your limit?

I have to, okay, well,

I can make the calculation.

I'll come up with an answer for the next show.

I mean, it should really, because you know, when you give it a limit, everybody's going to fit it into that limit.

That's fine with me as long as the limit's not like it is with the.

I mean, we're talking a thousand words.

You know, we had essays here.

You got, you know,

Dostievsky hasn't written as much as a couple of these guys.

Another obscure reference from Curry and Dvorak, everybody.

Not that obscure.

We also accept value in the form of time and talent.

There's a lot of that, our boots on the ground reports.

We have lawyers on staff, people.

I'm telling you.

We got lawyer producers doing stuff

who care for us, who care for the show, want to make the show better, want to help us, want to inform us.

And then we have artists.

Well, we used to have artists.

Now we just have AI prompt jockeys who have single.

I mean, I'm just going to allow AI songs for the end of show makes now because you're right.

You're right.

Wait, I like the way you have to.

you, okay, I'm not going to criticize you for this.

You can.

Because that's not really a criticism.

You're, you cave.

Maybe the word cave is not the right word, but you cave to the pressures that are coming in from everywhere.

You, you cave to modernity.

As things change and improve and progress.

You cave to it after resisting as much as you can.

So that brings me to the question, why do you resist at all?

Resist, we much.

And we much this be forgotten.

Yeah.

Well, I resist because I liked our artists.

We had Dutch masters.

They're all gone.

Every single one of them.

You're right.

The Dutch masters have all left.

They've all abandoned us.

And sadly, sadly, a lot of this AI art is just better.

It doesn't mean that I,

I mean, the execution is better.

What?

I think you're right.

Yeah.

I mean,

but now it's just all AI art, which is just too bad, you know, from time to time.

Every once in a while, someone will come in.

I mean, we got a long note from Riley.

Oh, you mean the dessertur?

No.

Deserter, you mean?

There's a guy who eats desserts.

He makes busy.

He's busy.

He's busy.

He got a lot of work.

He was an accountant, basically, and he just couldn't.

He's apologizing.

He's counting his money.

He's counting his money.

Yes, he needs money.

He listens to the show, and he, you know,

but you know what?

The stuff that Riley does has basically been jacked by AI.

Everybody can do Riley stuff now.

Not with the crude, the basic crude style.

No, that's true.

All right.

All right.

So Blue Acorn.

was the artwork that we chose for the previous episode.

Yeah, I caved on this one pretty quickly.

No, you didn't.

I did because you're like, I like the boobs.

This is great.

That's a great piece of art.

And I was so tired of fighting you on this stuff.

I'm like, no, here's the way it went.

I'm going to tell everyone how it really is.

You speak with forked tongue.

I said, I like this piece.

I think this is a really good piece of cheesecake.

And you said, oh, we just did cheesecake two shows ago.

And I said, that's the voice I used.

That's the voice I used.

Yeah.

Okay.

And so I said, yeah, we did.

But this piece is really, well, I like the 1776, and we got to have that into the art.

And

then you had some other suggestions.

Okay, well, let's do something else.

And he said, no, no, no, we're doing this.

And I'm, and it's your fault.

You chose it.

I'm picking it.

You chose it.

It's on you.

It's on you.

It's on you.

And you made a big fuss.

And here I am saying it's on you.

Thank you.

That's exactly how it went.

You said, I'm quitting the show if we don't choose this art.

I've never said that.

That's a lie.

That is a blatant lie.

Oh, man.

Well.

But looking back on it, I think it was a good piece of piece of piece of piece.

It was a good piece.

It was a good piece.

It was a good piece.

It was a good piece, yeah.

For 1776, it said America.

For a couple of reasons, it was a good piece.

Well, first of all, it just said America.

That's how I remember America.

That's right.

That's what it did.

It said America right there, right up front.

The,

let me see, was there anything else that we discussed?

I don't think so.

But everything is AI art.

Everything.

Which means eventually it'll just be muck.

But

I think

you've complained so much about the end of show mixes, and not without merit, not without merit, but it's hard to do.

And people get discouraged.

And, you know, then you hear some toe-tap and diddy made by AI.

And I play like, that's great.

And arguably, it was good.

So maybe.

It was good.

Maybe maybe it's just you know but here's the thing with the ai songs everyone like this is a great song

and it's just you know they got some curry and dvorak lyrics in there 33

you know value for value and it's always three minutes long no end of the show miss cut it down a minute make it a minute

i'll give him 110

110 110 and it's not you know it has to be a good song it's not about just the lyrics anybody can throw in some no-agenda lyrics into

AI and say, make me a song.

Like, wow, this is great.

No, it's not.

So if you send me a song.

I think now you've just done it.

You've got the AI song challenge, which will lead right into the awards.

Yeah, okay.

You know, we

have to spit into the mic.

We have a best of coming up

at the end of July, just so you know, you get a day off of Thursday.

And

because I'm working on my exit strategy, you know, we got to take some time off for that.

And the literal best of show

done by Circumference is our exit strategies.

It's a three-hour show.

It's a three-hour show.

I wonder if he has the sequined underwear there.

If you remember that back in the day, back in the day, I don't remember that one.

Yeah, the HEMA.

The HEMA underwear.

You don't remember the HEMA underwear?

Yeah, HEMA, sure.

It was going to be embroidered.

I don't remember that part.

It could be.

Anyway, Blue Acorn, thank you very much.

You kind of nailed it.

It also had

the luminance.

It had brightness.

It had

a kind of.

It was still a little wishy-washy.

But yeah, when I think back to 1976 and I was in America for the centennial,

the bicentennial.

I'm sorry.

You were for the centennial.

I was there for the bicentennial.

And that's pretty much what it was.

1976.

That's exactly what America was like back then.

So for me, it was somewhat nostalgic, but it was you who pressed on it and I just gave in.

So

then we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers.

Some of it taking a little bit to the max here.

We'll have to edit on the fly because everyone thinks, well, you know, it's like

this is my turn.

This is me.

They certainly have the right.

No, you're stealing from everybody else.

You're stealing time and attention.

But of course.

Yeah, there you go.

I think you're that's yeah.

Yeah.

It's theft.

Stop it, people.

It's just, you know, if you had more time, you could write a shorter note.

That's just the fact.

So take your time and condense these things.

But you know what?

Take your note, put it in a chat GPT and say, make this 200.

No, make this,

what is it?

What was the old Twitter length?

124, 144, 144 characters.

Yeah, there you go.

That's it.

144.

Including spaces.

Yes.

So if you support, and anybody can support us with any amount.

That's the beauty of value for value.

It's like you don't have to subscribe to anything.

You don't have to get any program.

There's nothing like that.

Just whatever you say, you know, I think I just helped these guys out because it was valuable to me.

Then you send whatever that value is, whatever value we delivered to your life, turn that into a number, send it back.

That's all that it takes.

Noagendadonations.com.

Just like Hollywood, though, we try to spice things up up a little bit.

So we give you an associate executive producer credit.

If you step up to that level, if you can't, everybody can, but you know, it's what it is.

$200 or above, and we'll read your note.

Then you can be an executive producer, $300 or above, and we'll read your note.

We may have to redact it here and there.

And these are credits that are completely legit.

You can use them anywhere, including imdb.com.

That proves their legitimacy.

And we kick it off with another show number donation.

So

the last show was 1776.

Sir

Sondergger from St.

Joseph, Missouri, 1776, and throws in 67 cents for good measure and says, Good morning, fellas.

It's been minutes since my last donation.

Here's some treasure to make up for the dry spell.

And get me that Ph.D..

Yes, the Ph.D.

in media deconstruction is still ongoing until July 4th.

So get in quick.

Keep up the money.

No,

it's not being canceled on July 4th.

That's what you told me.

No, I said what's being canceled on July 4th is the 76th donation.

Oh, okay.

Got it.

No jingles.

We're going to cancel the Ph.D.

promotion at the drop of a hat.

Wow.

Threatening.

No jingles, but I'd like my dedouching since I didn't get it on my first donation.

You've been dedouched.

And that's Sir Sonderreger of Bluffwoods.

Bluffwoods.

Bluffwoods.

Well, that takes us to

Don.

Dan.

Oh,

I'm already screwing it up.

Dan

Medor.

Medor?

Yeah, Medor, Medor.

Peoria, Arizona.

Peoria, Arizona.

Mm-hmm.

Huh.

And it's a long note.

But it's on the spreadsheet.

At least it made it on.

Yeah.

This has been a long time coming.

I've been listening to the show since

the late 800s, back in the Middle Ages.

That's right.

After having been hit in the mouth by my good friend Ken, please give me an atomic dedouching.

What's an atomic dedouching?

Does that exist?

It's just louder.

No,

sometimes they got to look if there's no, there's no atomic douche.

You've been dedouched.

As far as long time douchebaggery, I like instant gratification.

So after listening to over 900 shows,

I decide to to become an Instantite with my donation.

Please accept 333.33 as my late fee.

Oh, that's cute.

That's good.

I'm first and foremost a proud American.

Yeah, I'm also a French Acadian

ancestry.

I'd like to be known as

Circadian.

Oh, that's cute.

We have not seen that one yet.

Not yet.

Circadian

of the rhythm section.

Thank you for your keeping my, thank you for keeping my amygdala right sized over these recent

years

um

i wonder if he's a musician yeah i lost my wife to stomach cancer just before our 33rd wedding anniversary and i only and my own lymphoma diagnosis was discovered just after her passing and is now in remission good

So for jingles, I'd like a double F cancer.

And because it's always a put smile on my face, can you play Give It Up for Raven, which we always played all

series, making a comeback.

Thank you again.

And although I selfishly do not want you to find an exit strategy, I'm hoping we have a whole bunch of ideas.

I'm hopeful you will go at least four more years.

Also, for the roundtable, I welcome the mead as a libation, but would pair it with muton-infused poutine.

Which, in other words, you'd make poutine with mouton Rothschild, which seems

like an abomination.

It's pricey.

It seems to be priced about it.

Seems

Thanks for all you do.

Don Mador.

Dan Mador.

I don't know why I keep saying Don.

It just looks like Don for some reason.

Dan.

Circadian,

soon to be, of the rhythm section.

P.S.

I've attached my PayPal receipt for the Donation.

We got

you're good to go.

You've got Karma.

Give it up for Ravens.

You've got

karma.

Onward to Brian L.

Deerfield Beach, Florida.

$1,000.

Dear Adam and John, with the heartfelt ITM Energy, I extend my deepest thanks for your courage.

You guys became an integral part of my routine for the better part of a decade.

Woo!

And I can't thank you enough for your work during COVID.

I met the love of my life this day seven years ago.

She grew into the best family medicine doctor right before my eyes, not a pill pusher.

pusher no agenda was a lifeline for us during her medical residency in washington dc where we and eight other doctors wrote a systematic review that was blackballed by every journal in may of 2020 due to the out-of-patent intervention we were recommending huh i didn't want to believe the entire medical system was captured but it became painfully clear we avoided almost everything including the white house chop zone

during the summer of love where buildings were burned and bird scooters would max out at three three miles per hour in high crime areas.

The No Agenda Show was our constant companion, playing everywhere we went.

Your sharp insights and steadfast dedication brought us clarity and comfort when we needed it most.

I am deeply grateful for both of your courage and commitment, as well as that of the entire Gitmo nation.

This is a long overdue donation.

I will proudly frame this media deconstruction credential on my wall.

A shout out to John G, who hit me in the mouth many years ago.

I'm going to need a deduced.

You've been deduced.

But no jingles or karma.

I know my note is long, and John is already annoyed.

Ah, yeah, there you go.

Please knight me, Sir Doc Nelson, Knight of the Capital Region, and I'd like to request John's favorite Muscadine wine for the roundtable.

If it's out, I'll take the mead.

P.S.

I missed the Zephyr report.

Thank you for your courage.

So

which wine are we putting at the roundtable?

Let's pronounce Muscadine.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for that correction.

If they still have it, I would say,

oh, what's the name of this?

It's It's an operation in Arkansas.

It's the only quaffable muscadine I've ever had.

Well, what is this?

I had some

winery in Arkansas.

Arkansas.

I'll just say, I'll just say Arkansas.

Just say Arkansas Muscadine.

That would do the trick.

Muscadine.

Okay.

Can we get some

Arkansas Muscadine?

Okay.

Yeah.

Taken care of.

Muscadine.

Muscadine.

Okay.

Yeah, wines with rhymes with wine.

Yes, Muscadine, wine.

Got it.

Got it.

It's a big giant grape.

Have you ever seen a muscadine grape?

It's like a plum.

It's not like in a bunch.

It's like a plum.

Giant.

Huge.

Horrible tasting.

The more you know.

Let's go with

Don.

Daniel.

Daniel Franco in Bronx.

He always is the Bronx.

445.

44444445.

He sent a note

and a check.

I happen to have the note right here.

In the morning, Messieurs Curry and Dvorak.

The donation of 44445 is show number

of

4776.

Well, that came in late.

Thursday, June 26th.

It would reference the years 1774, 1775, and 1776.

With this donation, my total is now 1,000, thereby finally making me eligible for knighthood in the realm of no agenda.

My title will be, Sir, I'm not a spook.

Oh, no,

I'm a not a spook.

I'm a not a spook.

I'm a not a spook.

Because that's exactly what a spook would say.

I'm not a spook.

So finally, spook money.

Well, is it really?

In the lands of Throgsneck.

Throg.

Throg's neck.

Throgsneck, New York.

Throgs.

Yeah.

You know where that is?

Yeah, sure.

And Guild Master, he's the Guild Master of the Carpenter's Guild 157 of the city of New York, dual-class soldier/slash craftsman.

Well, soldier, maybe that's the spook part.

He's got a beautiful signature.

Say the least, it's one of those celebrity-looking things.

Daniel Franco, sir.

I'm a nata spooka.

All right.

So he's on the list.

We go to Pete Arnold III in Becker, Minnesota, 363.92, which may be 333.33 plus fees.

He says,

I'll keep this as brief as possible.

Yeah.

Fail.

Very funny.

Adam, I'm the dude who asked you on Twitter for the cutoff time for show 1776 and miss it anyway, despite your quick reply on X.

See?

Replying to me, by the way, is something Elon Musk has yet to do.

So that's a thing you'd totally do better than him in case you needed a boost.

Well, gee, thanks.

Adam's experience with door knocking, storm chasing roof salesman made me want to donate.

I am not one, though.

My company is related, and that's the purpose for my notes.

My company, Hire a Pro, helps homeowners GC their own projects.

So in the event of storm damage claim, we guide the homeowner through the process and keep the money that would otherwise be profit for a roofing company.

all while being by the book and still within the rules of insurance reimbursement to a degree where we actually have insurance agents sending us business In the last three years, we've kept almost

interesting.

That's a good idea.

So you do your own general contract.

Yes, of course.

And they back you up.

Of course.

In the last three years, we've kept almost half a million dollars in the hands of Minnesota homeowners with $6,000 being the average.

That's a pretty good deal.

Roofing companies hate us.

So I know we're doing a good thing.

I'm praying this year I can finally cross the full-time barrier so I can focus on it 100%.

I have a lot of ideas I want to implement, most of which I believe are as disruptive as Uber or DoorDash has been to their respective industries.

Working my ass off to have the capital to develop and implement them.

That's an American right there.

That's an American.

The only jingle I wish at the end of this is some jobs karma.

Thank you for all you do.

And Adam, if you end up needing a new roof from a hail claim, hit me up.

I can show you how the cake is made.

And if anyone in Minnesota needs hail damage,

well, you don't want hail damage, but if you need hail damage repair, I guess, don't hire a roofer.

Hire a pro.

Visit us online at hirea.pro.

Hire a.pro.

It's so easy.

Even the people knocking your door could do it.

And jobs, karma.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You jobs, karma.

Tanya's here.

Tanya

Alexanian, which is an

Armenian name, if I'm not mistaken.

But she's in Doler Le

Doler des Des Armeaux in Quebec, 336.

Switcheroo for my boyfriend, Jeffrey Sarkisian.

His birthday is July 6th, another Armenian.

Jingles, house buying karma and health karma for my girlfriend and her family.

This is truly the best podcast in the universe.

You guys have kept me sane

for at least six years and provide a great source of information and entertainment.

You guys are awesome.

Four more years.

You've got

karma.

And then right up the road here in Georgetown, Texas, $263.22.

Associate Executive Producer Credit goes to Thomas Anaya, who has no note.

That means Thomas gets a double-up karma today.

You've got

Karma.

Pete Arnold III in Becker, Minnesota.

233.

Wait a minute.

233.70.

This is Pete from Hire APRO again.

He's back.

Second donation on the same show.

Second note.

I wasn't joking when I said my ideas were disruptive.

Anyway, I've got a group of good people.

The note wasn't long enough.

Anyway, I've got a group of good people that deserve a boost to their station that I would love to work with as we grow a company together.

So one more jobs, Karma.

Over here for them, Minnesota people.

Remember, Hire APRO.

Thanks again, boys.

Pete.

That's interesting.

It's like a pre-roll and a post-roll in one donation segment.

I support this idea.

Come back with us with a payoff.

It was pretty good.

I like it.

Jobs, Carmer.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You thought.

Well, I'll take the one after this one because you apparently have a note for Chris Borman in Simsbury, Connecticut.

Yes.

You do, Eric.

Eric Stottelmeyer in Princeton, Minnesota, 21272.

A lot of Minnesota people today.

Yeah, interesting.

21272.

Eric here with Easy Construction Solutions.

Little one.

I've been donating $4 a week since June of 2023, a program I feel everyone should be doing if they feel like they can't afford a larger donation.

Please deduce.

You've been deduced.

I thought I'd celebrate being halfway to Knighthood with my first associate executive producership.

I am a general contractor in the Twin Cities and service all of Minnesota and Wisconsin with a special passion for cabin country, cabin country.

With the insane weather from Bemidji, Minnesota.

I've been to Bemidji.

Bemidji, Minnesota.

I have.

Bemidji.

They have a very small airport.

Bemidji, Minnesota to Baldwin, Wisconsin.

I thought instead of paying for annoying spam texts to homeowners or even more annoying door knockers, sounds related, I'd donate to the best podcast in the universe.

Seems better to just put my info out into the Noah Jenna universe and let the good Lord take it from there.

Visit easyroofingmn.com.

Well, how about are these guys working together?

Yeah, I don't know.

Easyroofingmn.com to send me an

attack.

It's the attack of the Minnesotans.

If I can help you with the next project anywhere in Minnesota, Wisconsin, the website will get better.

I'm a far better contractor than web developer.

Finally, as a pastor's son, PK, Adam's recent faith journey has been so encouraging and uplifting.

I'll leave you with my favorite verse, Galatians 6.9, a do not grow weary in doing good.

Oh, 6-9-A, do not grow weary in doing good, which you two seem to embody.

Thank you for your courage.

Eric Stoddermeyer, future Sir Eric, keeper of the cabin country.

All right, brother, thank you.

Christian money.

Yes, right.

Okay, we got

Chris Boerman in Simsbury, Connecticut, 21654.

After five years of listening,

it's time I put my money where my mouth is and donate.

We had a number of people today that have been listening for years on end.

And that's fine.

No, it is fine, but it just tells anybody out there that does podcasts, it doesn't all come in when it should.

Just so you know, you got to, what was it?

Do not grow weary in doing good.

Do not grow weary because you're going to be waiting for a long long five years for this for old uh for chris here uh i put my money where my mouth is and donate so please dedouch me

Chip Ingram.

And it's another Christian donation because he says, Come on, fellow Christian douchebags,

I'm also requesting a generous supply of jobs karma.

God bless you both, says Chris.

Oh, thank you.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

I like it.

It's not bad.

Eli the Coffee Guy's up.

He's in Bensonville, Illinois.

He came in with 20629.

John, great newsletter.

I thought I had cooking basmati rice down until your recipe.

Yes, the last newsletter had the basmati rice recipe, which I promised on the last show.

Now, people love that.

Good.

Well, they need to learn how to cook that rice.

It's not cooked the way they show you on YouTube.

Okay.

You don't need to repeat it.

It's a tipoftheday.net.

Your recipe.

John's technique yields a much fluffier rice with better texture.

I was inspired.

I had to spike the ball once in a while with something decent.

Yeah.

I was inspired, and

I made some Persian meatballs with ground buffalo from the farmer's market in a pomegranate honey reduction.

Wow, wow.

Eli, the coffee guy.

I got him.

A little chef.

A little chef on the side.

I like that.

Serve with a side of yogurt dill cucumbers.

Oh, nice.

It was marvelous.

Now, if you could just do me a favor and recommend a good wine to pair with the meal next time, I have a wine tip for today's tip of the day.

Obviously,

will it pair?

Yes, it would pair perfectly with this.

Obviously, I'm a man that loves good flavor, and I bring that same passion to curating our selection of coffees.

Stay caffeinated, says Eli, the coffee guy.

And our final associate executive producer, there she is once again, the one, the only Linda Lou Patkin from Lakewood, Colorado, who always wants jarbs, jarbs, jarbs, jarbs,

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You've got our money.

Well, dynamite, everybody.

Thank you so much to our executive and associate executive producers.

Long notes, but entertaining nonetheless, I have to say.

There's content in the donations.

This is the part that people sometimes miss when they think, well, I've got to thank all those people.

Yeah, there's content in there.

You'd be surprised.

Thank you all.

And of course, we'll be thanking people who donated $50 and above in our second segment coming up shortly.

And as always, you can support us with your value for value, time, talent, or treasure for the treasure.

Go to noagendadonations.com any amount, anytime you want to.

You can tell some people after five years, we appreciate it.

And of course, you can set up a sustaining donation, any amount, any frequency.

Noagendadonations.com.

Thank you again to these executive and associate executive producers.

Our formula is this:

We go out, we we hit people in the mouth.

Orders.

Order.

Shut up.

I said, what in the world is this?

So just as a short humorous moment.

So I don't know if you saw the long press conference that Trump gave the other day,

which one's not long.

Yeah.

Which is a huge contrast.

Everybody else has ever been in office.

How can you miss it?

The quad screen is all Trump.

Yeah.

It's like, yeah,

they're going to him live now.

They, you know, MSNBC used to reject that.

Like, we're not going to, we're not going to go live.

It's too entertaining.

They're crazy not to.

Exactly.

So I caught this little moment in the middle of one of his press conferences.

I thought was cute.

Oh, yeah.

On the 2020 election, is there any more information on the special prosecutor?

So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election.

And speaking of rogue judges, would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you, your family, and your supporters during the Biden administration?

I love you.

Who are you?

Tom Carrow from Lindell TV.

Well, that's a very nice question.

And it's not a setup.

I have no idea who you are, but I appreciate that question.

All I can say is we're not here for that.

I hope so.

I hope they're doing a thing because that election was rigged and stolen, and we can't allow that to happen.

You know, a lot of people tell me, sir, you just won the greatest election in the history of our country.

You won numbers that won all seven swing states, won the popular vote, won everything.

Sir, go on with your life.

And many people say that, good people, friends of mine.

Then you have people that say that same thing, go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can't let that happen again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is the

black girl.

Not letting that one go.

Was this the black girl?

No, no.

This is a, I think her name's Cara.

Oh.

And she works for Lindell TV.

He's got his own little network.

Mike Lindell.

Yeah.

He's got his own little network.

I don't know if people know.

No, he's got quite the network.

And he

was wearing, and he said the girl in the red dress, and then he picked somebody in an orange.

I think you're going to start seeing a very colorful press grouping.

so they can get picks.

Pick me, pick me.

This is the, it reminds me of the

floor of the stock exchanges where guys would get dressed up in clown outfits so you could be easily identified.

And I think you're going to start seeing that because he was going with

the red dress

to her.

Yeah, not a setup, Mike Lindell.

Lindell, by the way, who gets no credit for the lawsuit that he went through.

You know, they tried to sue him for like Dominion level money,

one of those people over there.

And he was successful at fending it off.

But

they ruined his whole business.

And he still keeps on trucking.

Yeah, he's a

perseverance.

Yeah, him and the

who's the overstock.com guy who used to be the CEO.

I forget about him.

Oh, I forget about him.

Oh, yeah.

He's still out there.

Patrick.

Patrick.

Yeah.

No, those, those, they got the goods.

They know.

So we'll see if that ever happens.

RFK Jr.

on the move once again.

And this, of course, is the

new committee who comes in for the vaccine policy.

I thought I'd kick it off with France, Franz Van Catra.

This is great to hear, you know, without evidence, you know, discredited claims, falsely claims.

And this is.

False claims.

This girl really does it all here in this quick report.

RFK Jr.

Robert F.

Kennedy, Jr., Donald Trump's health secretary and long-standing vaccine skeptic, fired 17 experts on that advisory panel recently.

He replaced them with eight new people, mostly anti-vaxxers.

On Thursday, they voted to walk back.

That's a lie.

Of course, it's a lie, but even France 24 is apparently captured by the big pharma.

Mostly anti-vaxx vaccers.

On Thursday, they voted voted to walk back vaccine recommendations for the flu,

for the common flu, and the reason being a common false argument of anti-vexors that the flu vaccine has an ingredient.

So this is you're going to make me interrupt the whole thing because she's going to say stuff like false arguments.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

False argument.

It's an argument, not a false argument.

What is that?

This doesn't even make sense.

It's like a non-secreter to say something like that.

That's what's so good about it.

Vaccine recommendations for the flu,

for the common flu, and the reason being a common false argument of anti-vexors that the flu vaccine has an ingredient that is linked to autism.

That's what the New York Times reports in this article.

The decision signaling a quote powerful shift, it says, in the way federal officials approach vaccines, but also delivering the first blows to

a scientific process that has delivered effective and tested vaccines to Americans for decades.

Now,

that ingredient I mentioned is

with complete immunity.

She forgot to mention that.

With complete immunity from lawsuits in case they hurt you.

By the way, just before I forget, because

I don't say it enough on the show, that's the key.

Get rid of that bull crap.

Every pill that they sell you, they sell you a pill or a therapy of any sort, they are subject to being sued for bad medicine.

Or if it makes you you sick, it makes you ill, it kills you.

Yeah, everybody for everything else, there's there's you know, you can be liable, but for this one product and one product only, there's they're indemnified.

How does that work?

Why?

Really?

Is the focus of this article here in the Conversation and Australian Academic Research website, which explains that it's called

thimerosol.

It's a mercury-based preservative used in some drug products because it prevents contamination by killing microbes.

But the website says it's important to note that it's hardly ever used in flu vaccines today.

The website also explaining that the argument that vaccines cause autism because of this ingredient first surfaced in 1998 when a report,

now discredited report, was published in the medical journal The Lancet claiming that several children had developed autism following the flu shot.

Well, good job, girl.

Good job.

Good job.

Okay, fine.

So that's the European take.

CBS, as you can imagine, well, they have other things to say.

A CDC vaccine advisory committee with new members, hand-picked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy Jr., met for the first time today.

The committee makes recommendations on the use and scheduling of vaccines for children and adults.

As Elaine Kejano reports, several members of the committee share Secretary Kennedy's skepticism about vaccines.

Dr.

I thought they were anti-vaxxers.

What is this?

Skeptics?

That's no good.

You don't want skeptics on an advisory committee.

That doesn't make any sense.

Dr.

Jennifer Duchon has treated hundreds of RSV cases in children at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.

How severe can RSV symptoms be?

RSV can be extremely severe.

It can...

Do you notice what they're doing here?

They're taking a report about the Vaccine Commission Advisory Committee, and they're turning it into an ad for the RSV vaccine.

These people have no shame.

Send children to the ICUs.

It can cause them to need intubation, a breathing tube, mechanical ventilation, constant breathing treatments.

Last fall and winter, during the height of RSV season, Dr.

Duchon, who specializes in pediatric infectious diseases, saw a drop in RSV hospitalizations compared to previous years.

She says that's in part because of the RSV immunization that's given to babies after they're born.

Even though fewer infants were hospitalized for RSV, it was still the leading cause of hospitalization for that age group.

Preliminary estimates by the CDC show up to 23,000 people died from RSV last season.

Yeah, I love it how everything else, they always bring in other factors, but you know, were these, were these mothers, did they have the COVID vaccine?

Is it anything else that was going on?

Well, there was a drop because of this.

I mean, that doesn't even say that it's effective.

It says, well, there was a drop in RSV cases because

we have this RSV vaccine.

It is unbelievable.

And by the way, the CBS is going to fail with this idea of having these two anchors.

That was John Dickerson and that the other guy.

Because you can't,

the olden days when you had two anchors.

You can't have two dudes, man.

You can have two dudes.

No, I don't think.

Huntley and Brinkley were finest two dudes.

Here's the problem.

If you start looking at it, it looks like it's a couple of, like a couple or a couple of brothers or something because they finish each other's sentences.

This is not done right.

You can't have one guy start the sentence and the other guy finish it.

It's like, so they go back and forth and back and forth with the read.

So you got your read on the prompter and they have half of it said by one guy.

The other guy kicks in and starts talking.

And the other guy kicks in and starts talking as though in its one presentation.

You have to go to one guy for the presentation and go to the other guy for another presentation.

You can't go back and forth and back and forth as though.

They're running it like local, like the local news or like entertainment.

Or worse, they're running it like those twin sisters who finish these other sentences and talk exactly at the same time.

It's terrible.

Rigorous traditional approach.

The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines announced today it plans to examine the long-established childhood vaccination schedule, including whether infants should receive an RSV immunization before eight months.

Also, under consideration, whether hepatitis B shots are needed for all newborns before leaving the hospital.

And the timing and formulation for the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine.

What's your reaction to what you're hearing out of Washington and this panel right now?

It makes me concerned.

That, again, focusing on the risks as opposed to the overall benefits which have been proven over time.

This is great.

They're focusing on the risks.

Why would you focus on the risk?

That makes no sense.

That, again, focusing on the risks as opposed to the overall benefits which have been proven over time.

The panel is expected to vote tomorrow on whether to recommend that RSV immunization for infants that we mentioned.

They're also scheduled to vote on whether to recommend the flu vaccine.

And specifically, they plan to discuss a preservative that is no longer widely used in flu ships.

Widely used, Thymerosol, which is mercury.

And he, we got to bring in the doc now.

Bring in Lapook.

Lapook the spook.

Last night we told you about a meeting of Health Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy's newly selected vaccine advisory committee, which includes members who share his vaccine skepticism.

Today, that is.

So this is the new talking point.

They share his vaccine skepticism.

Some members share his vaccine skepticism.

Isn't that what the American people deserve?

For them to be skeptics?

Is this a bad thing?

I asked.

Yeah, it's a bad thing.

You want, it's going to hurt the pharmaceutical bottom line.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Which includes members who share his vaccine skepticism.

Today, that panel endorsed flu vaccinations for the fall, but only for shots that do not include an ingredient which has been falsely linked to autism.

Our chief medical correspondent, Dr.

John Lapouk, asked a former acting director of the CDC about the significance of this week's meeting.

Until recently, I think most of the public didn't even know this committee existed.

We do have real-world evidence from this.

This committee exists to provide advice and guidance to the medical community so that we can give the best advice to our patients and they can make the best decisions about their health and the health of their children.

Dr.

Richard Besser is a pediatrician and the president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

You were the acting CDC director and you interacted with this committee.

How does what's happening now differ from what happened in your day?

In the past, if there was a question that this committee wanted to address, they would put together a work group and it would have two members of the ACIP of the committee as well as the best scientists from CDC.

They would spend months diving into the science before they would bring it to the committee.

This issue today didn't go through that process, and that's really concerning.

Where does that leave us?

Where I think it leaves us is that there will be other other organizations that come forward and make vaccine recommendations.

The Academy of Pediatrics, different infectious disease societies.

I think it's worth mentioning that the whole reason RFK Jr.

became interested in this is because

he was suing companies over mercury in the water.

And

he tells this story many times.

And that there was this group of mothers who kept showing up every single time, everywhere he went.

they kept saying, please listen to us.

And they gave him this huge stack of papers and research, scientific research, I guess,

about thimerosol and how it had hurt their children.

And that's how he, and he went, because this is what he does.

He's a lawyer.

He goes through this stuff.

And he has the whole, I guess at the time, the Children's Health Defense Network.

And he says, you know, this is a real problem.

Or is it?

Let's ask the doctor.

The American College of Physicians, which has more than 160,000 members, called this week's meeting a dangerous and reckless path that will leave our patients vulnerable to preventable illnesses.

If I'm a parent watching this, I might think, well, no big deal.

I'm going to still be able to get flu vaccine and I'd rather it not have mercury.

What's the problem?

The whole process today suggests that there is something unsafe about our vaccine system and there isn't.

There are still decisions to be made about additional vaccines.

The committee is weighing changes to recommendations for the measles and hepatitis B vaccines.

There is still no decision on this fall's COVID shots.

Why are you giving a kid hepatitis B vaccine?

It's a sexually transmitted disease.

A, but B,

what does the guy just say?

Remember back in the day when the swine flu vaccine came out, they were lined up to get the swine flu vaccine, and one of the batches of the swine flu vaccine was very well documented, contained live swine flu virus so they could spread it faster.

But Russia,

there's no liability, don't worry about it.

Yeah.

They got caught with their pants down with that vaccine that had live flu, swine flu viruses in it.

It was not a good product.

No.

So there's your update.

What was this?

I think you have a clip about this.

The syringe attacks in France.

Oh, this is one of these.

I'd like to have these stories that nobody covers.

It shows up.

Oh, it was covered.

It was covered.

I saw it.

Was it?

I didn't hear it except on this report.

Festival goers in France were targeted in more than 100 syringe attacks over the weekend.

145 people were jabbed with syringes at different venues across the country during Fête de la Musique.

Teenage girls were among the people who ended up in hospital.

Most noticed a mark on their body before feeling ill and seeking medical help.

Officials have not yet said what was in the syringes.

Twelve people have now been detained in relation to the attacks.

So, with hundreds of thousands of people set to attend festivals in the UK this summer, how can you protect yourself?

Generally the advice is to make sure you're aware of your surroundings.

If you see something suspicious then report it to staff or the police and don't leave any possessions or drinks unattended.

Do we know what was in there yet?

No, it's never been any follow-up on this story.

I think they suppressed the story because they don't want to give people ideas.

I mean, if you're going to have these cities, San Francisco being one of them, and now New York's going to to be one of them, and it's very popular up in Seattle and Portland, places like that, where you have free syringes being given away

so drug users can take their drugs in their little place.

They can have a little play.

Oh, we can take the drugs in a safe place.

And so there's free syringes flying all over the place.

They're left in the street.

They're all over the place.

It's terrible.

You're going to have something like this could become an epidemic.

Yeah, it's not good.

It's not good.

I just wonder why we haven't, they're still awaiting toxology reports, toxicology reports.

We're never going to hear anything.

No, you're probably right.

All right, what have we got here?

Well, just a little boots on the ground from one of our producers about the passkeys we were talking about.

Oh, yes, okay.

He says there's one additional little thing.

Passwords,

so the passkey is, you know, you don't actually know the passkey.

You have it stored on your device or on your computer or on your on your phone.

He says passwords are actually protected under the Fifth Amendment since you can't be forced to reveal what you know.

Passkeys work differently.

The user doesn't actually know the passkey.

It's stored in access with biometrics or a device pin.

He says that way, passkeys generally do not get the same legal protection against compelled use.

I think that's a very astute observation.

Ah, dynamite.

Yeah.

That is a very good idea.

Stay with the old passwords, people.

Yeah, I think that you think you should.

Yeah.

Because they can say, hey, just look here.

And your phone unlocks with your face, which I've never understood is a good idea.

No, it's a bad idea.

I've never understood that.

Why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

Well, it's easy.

Well, okay.

Sure.

Well, everything.

How about no password?

That's easy.

Yeah, that's the easiest.

Even when you're dead, you just hold the phone up to the dead person's face.

Boom.

Opens.

Good to go.

Thumbprint.

Let's talk about the little

Venezuelans in Chicago.

PBS again is promoting the

state of affairs, anything that kind of pushes back on Trump's agenda because he didn't give them 1% of their money.

They're going to pull the funds.

So we're going to see a lot of

pro-pride flag, pro-immigration

kinds of stories.

You're going to still have Brooks and K-part agreeing with each other.

It's going to be just downhill.

Chuck Hernandez is chair of the Chicago Republican Party.

There's not really an appetite to support those who come here, whether it be illegally or under a temporary program that was put in by Biden.

He says the Trump administration has a right to enact its immigration policies.

He says the arrivals from Venezuela have strained Chicago's resources.

We're having right now in Chicago a real crunch financially, and then the amounts of Chicago taxpayer money going towards many of these groups.

It's money that could be used towards citizens that should not be going towards these people that are here on a temporary type of basis.

How do you respond to people who say T is for temporary?

The issue here is know that they are dealing with tanks, they are dealing with human beings.

And when a human being is afraid to go back, and that really what the situation is here, that people have been told that Venezuela is getting better.

Venezuela is not getting better.

Venezuela is getting worse.

I sympathize with them, but this was the fault of the Biden administration by giving people false hope that you can come here.

For their part, Venezuelans we spoke with said they feel a sense of deja vu.

All over again.

Yeah, so they're painting.

This is part of a long report, and they have the cold-hearted Republican, you know, saying we can't afford this, it's just that simple.

And then you have all these sympathetic voices that go on about, you know, it's just people, it's people.

And this is gonna, this is hard to fight.

You know, this is

the strategy you use when you want to slam something.

You abuse people.

You abuse people.

Yeah.

Sympathy.

Sympathy.

Yes, of course.

My country, there is no legal process.

The United States was the first country to guarantee those freedoms.

And now, living through this situation, it feels the same as what happened in Venezuela because they are not respecting the due process of the people.

In the meantime, many will continue to stay in the shadows, afraid of what lurks outside their front door.

For the PBS News Hour, I'm Fred DeSam Lazaro in Chicago.

So, here's the question I have.

They're in Venezuela.

They put them into Chicago.

What about Mexico or Costa Rica or Brazil or Colombia or Ecuador?

Why don't this is like the Palestinians.

Nobody wants to take them?

I guess.

So we take it, we have to take them because nobody else will take them.

Now you're sounding like a Republican.

Well, I sound like a Republican, but it's like they speak Spanish.

They're in a continent,

except for Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, but they're basically in a, and you can make that transition.

It's not that difficult.

But they're in an entire continent of Spanish speakers all the way through up through Central America and Mexico.

And we have to take them.

Yeah.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

No person is illegal.

A person cannot be illegal.

What's wrong with you?

Do you not love people?

You are a horrible man.

Which brings you to a tick clock.

TikTok, TikTok.

All right, TikTok clip time.

Stolen land, girl.

I don't want to hear another white person say the word illegal for the rest of my goddamn life.

We are living on stolen land.

Our ancestors forcibly and violently seized this land from the indigenous peoples who were living here for generations before we ever showed up.

We do not get to call them illegal.

We don't own the fucking planet.

Nobody does.

We are evolved monkeys with opposable thumbs who use them to write little monkey scribbles on a slice of tree and we call it a birth certificate with our little monkey sounds.

All of it is made up.

None of it is real and it doesn't fucking matter.

And it's certainly not a valid reason to rip a terrified screaming child away from his weeping mother.

And I am tired of being made to feel like I'm crazy for being angry about this.

Capitalism is just narcissism as an economic system.

Imperialism is just narcissism as a foreign policy.

If the lion can't claim the safari for himself and call the elephant illegal, then neither the fuck can we.

Oh, that was interesting.

If the lion can't, let me just, I want to hear that thing.

That was

unbelievable.

Let me hear that again.

Capitalism is just narcissism as an economic system.

Imperialism is just narcissism as a foreign policy.

If the lion can't claim the safari for himself and call the elephant illegal, then neither the fuck can we.

This is, again, this makes me just very sad because she is very, very wound up about this.

And I'm sure that she is not doing anything about it herself except screaming on TikTok.

Which does not run for city council.

Run for government.

Do something, you do nothing.

Yeah.

Phony.

That's what I call her.

She's a phony.

I don't feel sorry for her.

She's a big phony.

Why don't you go do, like you said, become politically active if you feel so strong about this stuff.

She wants to say yanking at TikTok.

She needs a hug.

All these people need hugs and love.

Give me another.

Give me another.

Give me another.

Well, this one I end up cutting off because she just goes on too much.

But this is mom on the Z.

This is Mom Z Girl Op.

Mom.

What does that mean, Mom Z Girl Op?

You don't even know anymore.

I'm going to start this video by saying that this is not the usual content I normally share on my page.

I had easily the most unsettling experience experience I have ever had as a mother this morning, and I wanted to come here and share about it.

I'm actually feeling really shaken up inside, but I'm doing my best to do that.

Stop, stop, stop.

Oh, now you're now.

Now you remember.

Now you remember.

Well, this is the way that it works.

Yes.

I have found, this is only part of it.

This is why I cut it off because I'm going to explain what it is.

I have found at least 10 of these.

Exactly the same.

It's exactly the same.

I'm a mother, and

I was leaving the store, and somebody came up to me and says, can you help me?

Can I hold your baby while you move my car?

Because I can't get in.

There's always a million reasons.

Somebody comes up to me, holds the baby.

There's always a van involved.

There is a van parked here.

And then

the woman, the mother says, well, let's go inside the store and we'll talk to a manager.

Maybe they can help you.

And then they go inside the store, and then the woman disappears and gets into a van and drives off because it was a scam.

Yeah.

There is at least 10 of these videos out there and this is just one example and I don't know this is that's why I have Z.

It's an op.

Hmm.

Okay.

Well, what kind of an op is this?

Well let's listen.

I'm going to start this video by saying that this is not the usual content I normally share on my page.

I had easily the most unsettling experience I have ever had as a mother this morning and I wanted to come here and share about it.

I'm actually feeling really shaken up inside but I'm doing my best not to translate that over camera because I'm not at all narcissistic.

It's not at all about me and about how I feel and how shaken up i am that i usually don't share this on my page but please look at me while i talk about me and my feelings i really don't want to spread fear to anybody i just simply want to inform other mothers that this happened to me today and this is unfortunately happening and i saw a video maybe two months ago of a mom who had an almost identical experience and her sharing her experience i believe helped me know how to navigate this in the best and most productive way possible.

So here goes.

I went to Kroger around 9 a.m.

this morning, broad daylight, and I got out of my car with my daughter.

A woman approached me.

She said that she had parked her car too close to the car next to it and was unable to get back into her car to back it out.

She asked me if I would back her car out for her and offered multiple times to hold my daughter while I backed her car out for her.

When I looked to her car, I noticed her car was parked in one space, and with about maybe a foot space in between, there was an old beat-up van parked on the other side of the driver's seat of her car i was very firm with her and said you will not be holding my child but i offered to go inside and

oh yeah okay so there this is a it's a child rousting uh gig of some sort

but why is this video cropping up and it's in slightly different forms but it's basically the same story i can tell you what this is This is, this happened to a really good friend of mine's brother, grandfather, uncle, but it's true.

That's what this is this is just people like i've got you know i usually have nothing to say on my page but i came here to talk about this on my page

you nailed it you nailed it i nailed it exactly what it is you nailed it

oh yeah that'd be fab

narcissism is a very very dangerous drug a lot of people are addicted to it and tick tock is the dealer.

And now we will thank our donor.

Remember, we still have end of show mixes coming up.

We got John's tip of the day, apparently, a wine tip.

We do not mention under $50 for reasons of anonymity.

We do have a note here and a check from Southeastern Turf Grass Supply, David Wicker, sir, by his grace.

And this was for episode 1776.

He sent us double nickels on the dime.

1776 is such a great accomplishment.

And he thanks us for our courage.

And he also sent along a hat, a hat for Willie to wear.

Willie, my chess partner.

And I got a note from Sir Andy of Terragal Beach.

He said, Adam, I don't know if this is allowed, but yesterday I asked Dame Kylie of the Double D Cups to marry me, and she said yes.

Oh, that's it.

That's it.

Congratulations.

We're very happy.

Of course, we'll mention that.

Are you kidding me?

It is always allowed.

When two No Agenda people get engaged and they enter into that sacred covenant, yes, you better believe it is allowed.

Thank you all so much.

And of course, thanking our executive and associate executive producers for this episode as well.

You can support us and we encourage you to do so by going to noagendadonations.com.

It's a birthday birthday.

Well, first and foremost, we must say happy birthday to Chip Ingram, who celebrated his birthday on the 21st.

M.

Andrew Jones celebrated yesterday.

Dirty Jersey Whore, it's his birthday today on the 29th.

Hey, Dirty Jersey Whore.

Sir J.

Ari celebrates on the 4th of July.

Tanya Alexian wishes her boyfriend Jeffrey Sarkisian a happy one on the 6th.

And Eduardo Jimenez, happy birthday to his smoking hot wife, Gina.

And we say happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.

Yeah, and this is from

Sir Buja Hadin,

who is a layaway baron.

He started his 33, 33 monthly donations back in 2020, along with several larger one-time donations.

And he has now reached the title of Baron.

And so he's changing his title to Sir Bujahideen, Baron of the Freedom Fighters.

And if available, he would like to take Rutherford County, Tennessee as his protectorate.

And I believe that is possible.

He also says he has to bring up an issue with us.

He is a devoted listener to Noah Gen, as well as Dave Smith and Scott Horton.

And

he's

where's a who.

He's like, don't be so mean, please.

Don't be so mean.

We're not.

We're just who we are.

And we are who we are.

It's who we are.

Can't help it.

We have a couple of

congratulations.

And thank you, Sir Bouja Adine, now Baron of the Freedom Fighters.

We have one, two, three PhDs who will all be going to noagendarings.com to receive or to let us know where to send their PhD certificates.

A beautiful certificate.

You see it there.

It's a special little tab for the PhDs.

Give us the name you want on it and address.

We'll send it off to Sir Sonderregger of the Bluff Woods, Dan Madore, and Brian L.

Congratulations on your PhD in media deconstruction.

We have Instant Knight note.

This is going back to 1776 from Sir J.

Ari.

He's going to be knighted today.

And he wants jobs, karma, as he is gamefully employed, working 70-hour a week as a normality.

Wow.

That's something right there.

He's a lonely

millennial who works too much.

So, alongside the jobs, throw in some relationship karma.

Well, we certainly hope for that for you.

And in fact, we need to throw in jobs and a regular karma for everybody as well.

I forgot to do that.

Jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You got karma.

Also, Phil Coburn, who says, I hope this email finds you well so this brother can be knighted.

Money talks, so please find the donation in honor of John's birthday.

How old is this?

If it pleases the No Agenda Peerage Committee, I request the title befitting of a Barian brother, Sir Brother Phil of the No Agenda Roundtable.

Well, of course, that's good.

And he is from Waramou, Australia.

How about that?

So, we do have a couple of these knights to bring up.

You can grab your blade, then we'll get this.

Yeah, I got it right here.

That's ooh, it's the one with that cool handle.

I like that one.

All right, Sir J.R.E., Phil Colburn, Brian L., Dan Medora, and Daniel J.

Franco.

All of you gentlemen, please hop up here on the podium.

As you have supported the No Agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more, I'm very proud to pronounce the Kate as Sir J.R.E.,

Sir Brother Phil of the No Agenda Roundtable, Sir Doc Nelson, Knight of the Capital Region, Sir Kadian of the Rhythm Section, and I'm not a spook.

That would be sir to you.

Gentlemen, for you, we have Hookers and Blow, Ren Boys, and Chardonnay, Mouton Infused Poutine, Arkansas Muscadine.

We got pepperoni rolls with pale L's.

We got gations and sake, vaca, madilla, bongets, and bourbon, sparkling, cider, and escorts, ginger, etc., and gerbils, breast milk, and battle mad.

Mutton and mead always on the list, and people always seem to love that.

Go to noagendarings.com.

Let us know what size ring you have.

There is a ring sizing guide on that website.

We will send that off to you.

It's a signet ring.

So with that comes some sticks of wax that we stick into your pack.

And you can use that to seal your important correspondence.

And in addition to that, a certificate of authenticity in case anyone ever questions you.

And thank you for supporting the best podcast in the universe.

Yeah, baby, the party is always on with a No Agenda Meetup.

You need to go to these.

This is where you find the first responders in an emergency, the people who will really help you.

Connection gives you protection, noagendametups.com.

And here is the report from Los Angeles, Leo Bravo, with his 64th meetup report.

Hi everybody, it's Leo Bravo, meetup number 64.

Away we go.

ITM gentlemen, Sir Mainframe of Ventura down the line, proud member of the No Agenda Mass Formation.

Hey John and Adam, Sir Leah Kim Phopop here here in beautiful Wilmington at the Marina Cafe where the food is good and it's not even umami.

Okay everybody, in the morning.

A smaller meetup, but Leo changes venues all the time.

So we do appreciate what you do, Leo Bravo.

There's a meetup taking place.

Oh actually it took place this morning.

That was Fort Worth, Texas, at the Fort Worth Nature Preserve.

That was the Do Not Pet the Bison Hike meetup.

I hope everyone made it out okay.

The June 20th full-on summer startup meetup is underway at Blind Owl Brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana.

That's Sir Mark and Day Maria of the Greenwood.

The East Texas meetup, that's a birthday meetup.

The 33rd plus 16 birthday party extravaganza.

That's underway in Longview, Texas.

We're told as Pizzeria.

Of course, Dirty Jersey Whore is hosting that.

On Thursday, our next show day, the Northern Wake FEMA Region number four, Potluck and Whiskey.

There you go, six o'clock at Hoppy Endings in Raleigh, North Carolina.

And still on the calendar for July, we have the Denver City Park meetup on the 12th, Zurich, Switzerland on the 12th, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania on the 13th, Fort Wayne, Indiana on the 19th, and Albany, California on the 19th.

I guess you're going to be going, John.

The 19th.

It's in your backyard.

Yep.

Beautiful.

And remember, if you send in a meetup report, and we do encourage that, always include your server.

To find out where you can find a No Agenda meetup, we have a handy website for you.

Thank you, Sir Daniel, for creating and maintaining that.

Thank you for Mimi for always sending in this list.

It is noagendametups.com.

If you can't find one near you, start one yourself right on that website.

Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.

You to be where you won't be, triggered or hell lame.

You to be where everybody feels the same.

It's like a party.

Always like a party.

All right, we have end of show ISOs, which you always like to choose as kind of audience participation because people just send me stuff.

I'm like, okay, I'll try to see what John thinks about it.

People are sending you stuff.

Oh, that's how I get them.

I'd never look for something myself.

Never.

They send me ISOs.

Yeah, that's why mine are so bad.

Let's see see what bad ones you got today.

They did dumps.

They call them dumps.

Big, massive dumps.

The biggest load that we've seen.

There was a combo.

It's too long, but it was nice.

It's the one we designed.

I know, but he stitched it together.

And so that's it.

So yours is going to win by default.

Well, I have two.

Oh, you have two.

I only saw one.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

You have an ISO and you have an ISP.

Okay.

You want me to play the ISO or the ISP?

Let's start with the ISO.

I love you.

Yeah.

President Trump, yes.

All right.

Now play the ips.

Give this podcast a Pulitzer.

Okay.

That's done.

That is the one.

There's no doubt about it.

And we go from that straight into John's tip of the day.

Great master, you and me.

Just the tip with JCD.

And sometimes Adle.

Created by Dana Bernetti.

Normally I don't, I do wine tips now and occasionally.

I don't do as many from Costco because,

except for those Bordeaux boxes, because there's not, the distribution is sketchy.

But once in a while, they have a cheap wine that everybody has, I think, in most of the stores.

And I'm recommending one.

Okay.

I was actually stunned, stunned, I tell you.

Stunned, I tell you.

By the quality of this product.

It's a California wine.

And wait, this is available at Costco?

Yeah.

I was actually stunned, stunned, and more stunned.

Well, before you even tell us, so how did you discover this?

I mean, you saw a bottle.

You're like, that's it.

I'm at Costco.

Yeah, you're like, that looks like crap, but I'll try it anyway.

Yeah.

Well,

it goes like this.

This is my methodology for buying rando wines.

Rando wine?

Yeah, well, I said going by, and I'm looking, I say, well, that label's screwy.

That looks like, in fact, it looks like an old-fashioned geyser peak label.

It just has a different look for a Kirkland wine.

It's a Kirkland wine.

I'm looking at this is, oh, it's $9.90.

Ah, you know.

In the pocket, baby.

That's right in your price range.

Let me look at it.

You know, that's a cheap California Cabernet.

I'm thinking, this can't be any good, but it's only $9.

Let me check it out.

It's a stunner.

Really?

I mean, I was taken aback.

This is the Kirkland

Cabernet Sauvignon from from Alexander Valley, which is a great little Cabernet growing area.

Alexander Valley 2022.

Oh, that's a good year for Cabernet.

It's a good year for a lot of things.

And Bordeaux is a really good year.

And

so this wine for $9.90 or whatever it was, it's ridiculously

structured beautifully.

Normally for that kind of money, California wines are flabby.

They're not balanced correctly.

They don't have the right flavors.

The profiles are off.

This is a stunner.

I'm telling you.

Maybe I got just a good bottle, it's possible.

But I would recommend this.

Give this a shot.

Wow.

Well, I would say maybe you should try Aldi from time to time.

See if you can find something there.

I mean,

you're just finding all the good stuff at all

the craziest places.

Yes.

Yes, he said.

Hey, now that's a very valuable tip.

And there's many more to be found at Tip of the Day or NoAgendaFund.com.

That is John's Tip of the Day.

Great advice for you and me.

Just a tip with JCD.

And sometimes Adam.

Created by Dana Brunetti.

That's right.

Where would we be without Dana Brunetti?

We would just be poor, sappy podcasters.

Now we have things created by a Hollywood expert.

And that does conclude our broadcast day here on No Agenda.

Thank you for joining us.

Thank you for participating.

Thank you for trolling along.

Thank you for supporting us.

We encourage support of the show to keep us rolling four more years.

Noagendadonations.com.

Coming up next on your modern podcast app as you keep the stream running or at trollroom.io, ah, the MMO, the Millennial Media Offensive.

Episode 175.

Love those kids.

People like them a lot.

They also do that show live, so catch them live when you can.

End of show makes us classic from Brian Rutter and brand new from Mellow D.

We look forward to that.

And we will be back on Thursday, hoping that President Trump does something crazy.

So you all tune in.

And that's likely.

Until then,

it is.

Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, where they wrap Jesus in flags that is just sacrilegious.

In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C.

Dvorak.

Please join us on Thursday and remember us at NoAgendadonation.com.

Until then, Adios Mo Foes are hooey-hoo-eye and such.

Well, I disavowed.

Bamba Lambs and Ku Klux Klan.

So I disavowed again.

Bama Lambs.

Condemned totally.

Hasn't condemned the darn thing.

So I disavowed again.

Rebuilt.

Done.

They're not going to be fighting each other.

They've had it.

They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard.

You know, they fight like hell.

You can't stop them.

Let them fight for about two or three minutes.

Then it's easier to stop them.

That daddy has sometimes used the true language to do that.

The language that you heard used when talking to an old drunk has been hurt.

It is a bit flattery.

Today you called him Daddy.

Today you called him Daddy.

Today you called him daddy.

Did you feel you have to act when doing business with the US President through flattery and praise?

Isn't it a bit demeaning?

And doesn't it make you look weep?

A bit demeaning and doesn't it make you look weep?

No, I don't think so.

I think it's a bit of a question of therapy.

But I think he's a good friend.
